Speaker 1: time and a termino and gay.

Speaker 1: We wanna welcome you back home. Tell us all about it?
Speaker 1: Re scared her?
Speaker 4: Was it fine? Malborn? Do you need to ride? Do

Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 4: Do your need you ride?
Speaker 1: Ride with Karen and Chris?
Speaker 3: Welcome to Do you need a ride? This is Chris Fairbanks.
Speaker 1: And this is Karen Kilgareth, Karen? Are you Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Out there?
Speaker 3: It's rain so much We're not used to it.
Speaker 1: Rivers and streams, creeks overflowing.
Speaker 2: I'm currently in a hollowed out refrigerator paddling. I was
Speaker 2: just in Houston, where famously they get torrential downpours like
Speaker 2: I when I lived in Texas, I did not. I
Speaker 2: was not prepared for rain drops the size of a
Speaker 2: child's fist, and they just the flooding. I one time
Speaker 2: was doing laundry and looked out the window and the
Speaker 2: ceiling to floor windows.
Speaker 3: We're just showing the out of doors.
Speaker 2: Like an aquarium, just four feet of water, things floating,
Speaker 2: old tires and brochures. And I watched my car just
Speaker 2: float out of the laundromat parking lot and kind of
Speaker 2: rind of gracefully stop in the street. Then all the
Speaker 2: water drained away and everyone drove off. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: this is just how it is in Texas. And then
Speaker 2: I right when I landed here, it was raining like that.
Speaker 2: I've never seen that in Los Angeles in the twenty
Speaker 2: years i've lived here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear, it's been insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm up floating.
Speaker 1: I'm wrapping norcl I know the floating car thing and
Speaker 1: the mud thing happened near my house in LA. But
Speaker 1: I'm up here in nor Call where we got the
Speaker 1: beginning of this atmospheric river, and it has been raining
Speaker 1: pretty much NonStop for like eleven days, pouring, storming. By
Speaker 1: the way, we're talking about the weather. Yeah, I know. Sorry.
Speaker 2: When it's at this level, it's all of a sudden
Speaker 2: exciting like the movie Twister.
Speaker 1: It can't be denied. When there's cows flying by your window, right,
Speaker 1: and a tracker and Bill Paxton and Bill Paxton making funny,
Speaker 1: hilarious jokes but up here, like five miles away in
Speaker 1: this town, Nacossio. I believe it was Nicassio. The winds
Speaker 1: were one hundred miles an hour one night, so it's
Speaker 1: like they were calling it the bomb cyclone. It was
Speaker 1: seriously storming, and there was a night where me and
Speaker 1: my dad are sitting there watching Jack Reacher, of course,
Speaker 1: and it's felt like the windows were going to blow in,
Speaker 1: like into us movie style. But my dad, of course,
Speaker 1: relatively incredibly hard of hearing, so we were not having
Speaker 1: the same experience. He's like, every time Jack Reacher would
Speaker 1: like cold cock somebody on the sidewalk, my Dad'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at this guy. And meanwhile, I'm like, we're going
Speaker 1: to die of wind tonight in this room. It was
Speaker 1: truly scary.
Speaker 2: See are you comforted at all by the fact that
Speaker 2: your dad was a fireman for forty five years?
Speaker 1: Yes? Well, because you know what's funny. He told a story,
Speaker 1: Like anytime something happens in a movie or on the
Speaker 1: news or whatever, he'll turn and have a story. We'll
Speaker 1: ago one time we we got a call and I
Speaker 1: go in there and it's this old guy and he talks.
Speaker 1: He'll tell us the story of some you know, incredible
Speaker 1: call that he went on, but he often talks through
Speaker 1: the beginning of the conversation he has, Oh, this one
Speaker 1: was there was it was an executive in Wells Fargo
Speaker 1: that they had to go up to this he goes.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful office. And I go and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going? And I'm like, can you imagine if
Speaker 1: you were having a heart attack or a stroke and
Speaker 1: it's my dad walking up like like like, hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: It's like beautiful office. I think it would be calming.
Speaker 1: I hope it would be calming, And I think it's
Speaker 1: nice to know he would know. But vanes to press
Speaker 1: down on so I don't immediately bleed.
Speaker 2: Out when the windows implode while watching Jack Reacher.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and probably in slow motion, because that if
Speaker 1: glass is gonna fly, it'd better be in slow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like oh, like backdraft. That had to be scarier
Speaker 2: than where you live then. I mean you're in the mountains.
Speaker 2: There's muddy rivers and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yes, are you talking about where you're at nor Cow
Speaker 1: versus so Cow. Yeah, Yeah, I'm still here. I'm still
Speaker 1: at my dad's house.
Speaker 3: And it had to have been scarier. But on the news.
Speaker 2: I was worried about you because a neighbor they they
Speaker 2: were in your neighborhood, like shoveling.
Speaker 1: Mud out of driveways. Yes, swear it looked like you're straight.
Speaker 2: And then they interviewed this lady and I hope she
Speaker 2: lives near you, because she was like, I mean I
Speaker 2: prayed for rain. I feel somewhat responsible because I prayed
Speaker 2: for this rain, but then I prayed for it to
Speaker 2: please please stop.
Speaker 1: And it did. And they put that on the news
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this is the power of prayer.
Speaker 2: Please be at Karen's next party. She yeah, she was
Speaker 2: really good at praying.
Speaker 1: She's inundating all of us. No, I've been I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten any of this La Atmospheric river because I've been
Speaker 1: up in Norcow this whole time.
Speaker 2: Well, I could talk about it all day, but I
Speaker 2: think we should see what our guest has to say about,
Speaker 2: specifically the weather. Don't worry, We're not changing the subject
Speaker 2: this topic.
Speaker 1: The theme of this episode will be weather of any kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, drive time style, that's right. You know our next
Speaker 2: guest from clubs and colleges throughout the country.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: She's a previous Din our guest and one of our favorites,
Speaker 2: and I mean that entirely. Everyone put your ears together
Speaker 2: for Aaron Foley.
Speaker 1: Yes, god rivening weather.
Speaker 4: I was like ready to jump in.
Speaker 2: Did you hear the part about the one hundred mile
Speaker 2: hour when and the mud?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if you had the pleasure of
Speaker 4: meeting my mother, Mary Agnes Foley, but she's been obsessed
Speaker 4: with the weather since her birth year, late thirties, late
Speaker 4: nineteen thirties, and I feel like she needs to. My
Speaker 4: dad passed, Karen. I think maybe your dad and my
Speaker 4: mom should join forces and they can just they both
Speaker 4: can't hear, and they can just watch Jack Reacher together
Speaker 4: and talk about the weather. That's what I've been plotting.
Speaker 1: Be in general denial, withholding and repressing all of their
Speaker 1: Irish Catholic feelings. Yeah, to get put together but together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about your dad. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's okay. It was just, you know, lung cancer
Speaker 4: during COVID.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we the winds and the mud, the winds get
Speaker 2: back the mud and the important and it was like
Speaker 2: La was experiencing a cancer of its own and from
Speaker 2: the scot.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Sky cancer. I do sorry real quick. Years ago,
Speaker 4: you know how it used to rain once every seven
Speaker 4: years and everyone would lose their mind and it was
Speaker 4: just the funniest thing. This isn't funny, but I mean,
Speaker 4: now today's weather isn't funny. But I was at the
Speaker 4: bank when you'd go into the bank, you know, and
Speaker 4: this woman was super agitated and she's like, this rain,
Speaker 4: this right, just like just shouting out in the bank line,
Speaker 4: and she goes, I didn't sign up for this, And
Speaker 4: that used to make me laugh so hard. I didn't
Speaker 4: sign up for this, really weather, you mean weather just
Speaker 4: one rain a year.
Speaker 3: I didn't pray for this. I love it.
Speaker 1: I was like, I love people that was back in
Speaker 1: this cycles of it would pour rain, there would be
Speaker 1: month slides in Malibu, and then we'd wait for the
Speaker 1: fires to begin. And that used to be the old
Speaker 1: weather cycle that we all were like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: what it's like down here. Those are our seasons, yes,
Speaker 1: fire and mud river, fire in mud. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was delighted by it, and I drove. I thought,
Speaker 2: now is a good time when it was most torrentially
Speaker 2: coming down to go buy new wiper blades because I'm
Speaker 2: going to need them. I don't know why I was
Speaker 2: excited to experience rain in La. I like, we have
Speaker 2: a serious drought, but I did not know. I was
Speaker 2: just going to the nearest auto zone to get in
Speaker 2: the zone.
Speaker 3: That I would actually see that.
Speaker 2: I saw a car like one of those BMW's that's
Speaker 2: like an exotic. I don't know if they're electric, but
Speaker 2: they have a lot of blue. It looks like a
Speaker 2: car from the movie Tron. This guy just gunned it
Speaker 2: into three feet of water and I watched him just
Speaker 2: float until the wheels touched.
Speaker 3: And then he drove off. And I'm like, that was
Speaker 3: the most surreal thing, just on Alvarado, just in town.
Speaker 1: A floating car. What are you James bond I said, Well,
Speaker 1: because the one thing people in La aren't going to
Speaker 1: give up no matter what is coming out of the
Speaker 1: sky or flowing down the street, is driving like assholes.
Speaker 1: So it's like, doesn't matter if there's if mud is
Speaker 1: coming toward them, they're going to cut it off. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: It's like that's that's who.
Speaker 4: We are as La drivers, as a city, just dodging
Speaker 4: palm bark in headshots. That's what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Not using our blinkers.
Speaker 4: Nope, just going fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, no one new to Just like if
Speaker 2: you're in deep water, just maintain some sort of.
Speaker 1: If you go too slow, you get stuck.
Speaker 3: If you go too faster, your bumper rips off.
Speaker 2: Everyone was doing one or the other, going slow and
Speaker 2: getting stuck or driving so fast. But it was fun
Speaker 2: people watching until I realized I was putting myself in
Speaker 2: danger and I I've been indoors ever since.
Speaker 3: But I did get those wiper blades on.
Speaker 1: If you want a nice ending to the story, did
Speaker 1: you have to put them on yourself? Or did some
Speaker 1: nice person that worked at AutoZone come out to the
Speaker 1: parking lot.
Speaker 2: No, they were freaking out about the oh no, oh,
Speaker 2: I didn't wear my rubbers like they're worried about walking
Speaker 2: to their cars. I literally drove there with a headlamp
Speaker 2: on my head and I put them on in the rain,
Speaker 2: and I had to open the directions to figure it out.
Speaker 4: Did you not have headlights or was this just something you.
Speaker 1: Wanted to try, you know, covering over the hood.
Speaker 3: I had to get the blades into the Oh.
Speaker 4: I thought you were driving with a headlamp.
Speaker 2: And the headlamp was for future when I knew that
Speaker 2: in the parking lot, I do everything at the AutoZone
Speaker 2: parking lot.
Speaker 3: I'll change my oil.
Speaker 2: They hate me there, and I put on my wiper
Speaker 2: blades in the rain, and I'm not kidding that. I
Speaker 2: enjoyed the rain. And I know people lost houses. I
Speaker 2: just remembered it was bad for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: So I'm not right. There's always a bad side to fun, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know always. I love my street river. I parked
Speaker 1: in it. I took close up videos.
Speaker 2: I just rain is important for any semblance of a
Speaker 2: seasonal anything in this seventy five degree all year around,
Speaker 2: beautiful round the clock.
Speaker 1: Where have the last twenty years gone, because I don't
Speaker 1: know what day it is, Aaron. How they feel about
Speaker 1: you at AutoZone? Do they love you? Do they hate you?
Speaker 1: What do you bring to the when you the idea
Speaker 1: that people hate Chris at AutoZone is hilarious.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we all we all know we've known
Speaker 4: Chris for a long time, and most people are like,
Speaker 4: he's an asshole, you know, And so I get the AutoZone,
Speaker 4: you know, I get their side. I've always been like,
Speaker 4: he's got a temper issue, he's I'm kidding people.
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite you know what I actually do,
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to cars. But you know me
Speaker 2: as a nice person, so I shouldn't have even said that.
Speaker 3: But I am out there.
Speaker 4: Razing just around cars.
Speaker 1: Come out, fucking help me.
Speaker 3: I'm always yelling, pounding on the window.
Speaker 1: Cars and golf. Yeah there's also golf anger issue.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, that's to this thing where you go, I
Speaker 4: should learn more about my car, you know, Like I
Speaker 4: say that, I've said that.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: Let's say I've been in LA almost sixteen years. I
Speaker 4: don't give a shit about cars. I don't care what
Speaker 4: I drive. I don't like I just and I had
Speaker 4: a bad auto AutoZone Jiffy Lube experience in the first,
Speaker 4: like the second year in LA. I was driving like
Speaker 4: a used car. And I'm not going to go into
Speaker 4: it because literally it was like it's like a joke
Speaker 4: I did on stage. But the woman basically on a
Speaker 4: loud speaker, was like, you know, I think it was
Speaker 4: like a ninety seven Corolla one hundred and eighty thousand
Speaker 4: miles like I was, and it was like beamers and
Speaker 4: I just was like demoralized. I was like, you guys,
Speaker 4: are all doing the miles yelling, just yelling like it
Speaker 4: was a common There was two people in a small
Speaker 4: waiting room. You know, it was that bad, you know
Speaker 4: where I was like, am I on a candy camera?
Speaker 1: And then they sold you an air filter you didn't
Speaker 1: need for eighty dollars air filter?
Speaker 4: Shit. I just got like, you know, bend over and
Speaker 4: I was like and then I said, oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 4: a lot of miles. She's like, oh, you're at it's
Speaker 4: you know, half life. You can get three hundred thousand miles.
Speaker 4: I just was like, get me. Like it was so
Speaker 4: demoralizing that I was like, I'm just gonna never go
Speaker 4: back to an AutoZone or a like they just I
Speaker 4: think with women too, like that's when I'm like I
Speaker 4: need to learn more stuff. They go in and they
Speaker 4: just assume like you don't know anything, and I do,
Speaker 4: like I needed a hubcap, you know, Like I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't forget, I don't know. But there is the
Speaker 4: other side is like you can I hate to be
Speaker 4: this like type. I'm not this type of woman, but
Speaker 4: it is kind of you know, you go, oh, could
Speaker 4: you do you think you could put that on for me?
Speaker 4: You know, like you have those moments where you're like, well,
Speaker 4: I get paid a you know, a dollar or five,
Speaker 4: so go put the hub caps on, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm not afraid to ask, but I am afraid
Speaker 2: to look like I like watch YouTube or at Google things,
Speaker 2: so I know what I'm talking about before I go in.
Speaker 2: I rehearse them in the parking lot. I paste back
Speaker 2: and forth.
Speaker 3: I'm like uh, and.
Speaker 2: Then I'm meant and then I'm like, yeah, I need
Speaker 2: some some rotors for my calipers are good, but you
Speaker 2: know the drums, the brakes, Like I learned the words before.
Speaker 1: Actually listing off turn. Yeah, it's like, what are you saying? Axel? Axel?
Speaker 1: I guess there's a battery seats. Of course, let's just
Speaker 1: list all the parts of a car.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just trying to remember what I need from you,
Speaker 2: and so I have a list here of every part
Speaker 2: on my car Buyer.
Speaker 4: I keep stepping on the glove compartment and I'm hearing
Speaker 4: this noise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or do you guys call that a jockey box
Speaker 2: around here?
Speaker 3: You got your glove compartment, guys, you got.
Speaker 1: Your jockey box? Guys? Where are you at Augoso?

Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: What are you a horse?

Speaker 1: a I think it was an AutoZone, the one on
Speaker 1: the on the bridge going over the five before you
Speaker 1: get into downtown Burbank, but so AutoZone, that one could
Speaker 1: have been an oh oh oh oh. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: there's a live record.
Speaker 2: There's a reunion that was like part of a corporate
Speaker 2: retreat for those folks, and the original recording artist came
Speaker 2: in and and performed that song and it brought a
Speaker 2: tear to my eye and I'm not kidding, And it
Speaker 2: was this, it was this were you doing?
Speaker 1: It was this year? Why are you there? I saw
Speaker 1: it on YouTube.
Speaker 4: I was like, are you why?
Speaker 1: I haven't been anywhere. Everything I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: Is this an intervention Karen and we try get Chris
Speaker 4: out of AutoZone conference.
Speaker 2: Everything I'm talking about, it's something I watched on my phone.
Speaker 1: I did not drive in the rain. Those were all
Speaker 1: videos I watched. So it's like it's at a Hilton.
Speaker 1: It's at a garden Hilton, and it's in the conference
Speaker 1: room and some woman comes in and goes, oh, oh, oh, oh, Reilly,
Speaker 1: you're telling me that happened.
Speaker 2: And then the dude comes in because it's his only
Speaker 2: part where he goes auto parts, and then she goes, no.
Speaker 1: No, no, yea, I will send it to you. It is,
Speaker 1: and they're like, thank you so much. Now we're going
Speaker 1: to do the AutoZone theme and they just do all
Speaker 1: repair plays. Is why they were there.
Speaker 2: And this song was a little longer than in the
Speaker 2: radio commercials.
Speaker 4: But I'm surprised one of us wasn't performing at this gig. Yeah,
Speaker 4: for real, it sounds, doesn't It sound like a hell
Speaker 4: gig that you like sit around after a show and
Speaker 4: you're like.
Speaker 1: Well, I did the O'Reilly far cofer.
Speaker 3: I gotta do something. I'm scared to go on a
Speaker 3: cruise ship.
Speaker 1: You have to like you have to pass the mic
Speaker 1: at the end of your like And that was the mayor,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. It's been so great performing for you
Speaker 1: this evening. But right now we have a very special treat.
Speaker 1: It's Dan and Joanne, that's right, the people who's seeing
Speaker 1: the O'Reilly Autumn Arts Team. Yeah, get out.
Speaker 2: Here, guys, and we're going to bring out the sick kids.
Speaker 2: But I interrupt, what what did you see at the uh?
Speaker 1: Oh? I was just gonna say, now I'm talking into
Speaker 1: a second mic. I know.
Speaker 3: I notice you've been doing that because.
Speaker 1: I really love There's AutoZone my niece. When my niece
Speaker 1: was like little in a car seat, like three or four,
Speaker 1: she listened to the radio so much because she and
Speaker 1: my sister were in the car together so much that
Speaker 1: any we'd be listening to the radio and then a
Speaker 1: jingle would come on when a commercial would come on,
Speaker 1: and she would sing the jingle like word for word,
Speaker 1: and it was super creepy because she was very little,
Speaker 1: so it would just be like.
Speaker 5: Mattress Discounters from the backseat and from like a three
Speaker 5: year old, and she it was so funny, like I
Speaker 5: would cry laughing, and she knew every word to every
Speaker 5: jingle and it was my favorite.
Speaker 1: That wasn't my story. The point I was going to
Speaker 1: say is the last time I was in that AutoZone
Speaker 1: slash O'Reilly, We're not sure? Over in Burbank, I had
Speaker 1: to get a tire replaced, and so I had to
Speaker 1: go wait in the little waiting room that they have
Speaker 1: for people getting tires that literally smells like they're piping
Speaker 1: in tire smell. It is the most unpleasant. And I
Speaker 1: know I'm a little sensitive about my smells, but it
Speaker 1: was like being inside a tire waiting for your tire
Speaker 1: to get replaced. And I was like, I can't take
Speaker 1: it in here, and I'm if I leave, they're going
Speaker 1: to call my number and I'll be somewhere weird, so
Speaker 1: I have to stay. But it was the most unpleasant,
Speaker 1: worst smelling room. Uh, probably in Burbank.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was high er smell, really was. It's bad
Speaker 2: for you. It's the worst thing ever. It's rubber, and
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: As much as I love I used to purposefully spray
Speaker 2: my hands with gasoline so I could drive around and
Speaker 2: smell the gas.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was that's borderline huffing.
Speaker 4: It, but maybe for some reason maybe, yeah, that's probably
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 1: Just on my fingers.
Speaker 2: I didn't always have a paper bag with my fist
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 4: Just dip your hand in the gay right now?
Speaker 1: Can I a huffing question? And you guys will know
Speaker 1: when you huff gas? Aaron, do you hallucinate? What's the
Speaker 1: you get high? Like lightheaded? But does does anything else
Speaker 1: happen in a drug experience way.
Speaker 4: That that is some strangers.
Speaker 1: Oh, go straight to that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just one huff. Your pants are off. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so I've heard, so, I've heard.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I'm just talk. No, absolutely not no small talk. It's
Speaker 4: just because it only lasts so long, right, so you
Speaker 4: can only you have a small window to make a
Speaker 4: real bad decision, okay, oral good decision.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you never know when you're gonna meet your person.
Speaker 1: You never know.
Speaker 4: Let's see, every day is a gift.
Speaker 2: Every day is a gift I've been, especially in the
Speaker 2: new year. Huff, drop your huff and drop. Wherever you are,
Speaker 2: you might find that person of your dreams.
Speaker 1: Huff and drop. Oiley behind the auto parts auto pants drop, Sorry,
Speaker 1: those pants drop automatically.
Speaker 3: Remember fdic Chris.
Speaker 1: Chris watched an O'Reilly conference where the singers came out
Speaker 1: and sang the song that really happened, and I think
Speaker 1: we skipped over that too quickly absorb it. I didn't
Speaker 1: watch the whole conference.
Speaker 2: Someone clipped out the peak moment, which was Bob and
Speaker 2: Judy coming out and doing their hit.
Speaker 4: Now, did like YouTube suggest this based on other videos
Speaker 4: that you were watching.
Speaker 2: I think that it was a clip that I was
Speaker 2: scron through TikTok, where you take a lot in If
Speaker 2: I like something, I then search for more information on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, YouTube is like my bibliography for TikTok.
Speaker 3: I need to know more. Usually it's where where is
Speaker 3: this person.
Speaker 2: That's a criminal of some kind? I then go from
Speaker 2: TikTok find them on Facebook and see.
Speaker 3: Where they live.
Speaker 1: Friend request, a friend request, possibly a poke.
Speaker 2: That's an old dit because they don't you can't poke
Speaker 2: any You still can't poke people, by the way, But
Speaker 2: who's on Facebook anymore?
Speaker 1: They just kind of hid the poke because it seems
Speaker 1: locable on Facebook anymore. You are, we all are. That's
Speaker 1: the thing.
Speaker 4: You have to real live action poke Chris. You know it's
Speaker 4: two two three. Just start poking in real life, you know,
Speaker 4: just just be like, that's my resolution.
Speaker 2: You knock on my door and I answer, just wearing
Speaker 2: a target on my shirt.
Speaker 3: Puck away right in the sternum, stranger.
Speaker 4: I'll sign for that package if you poke me.
Speaker 1: It's not part of my job detail. But okay. Sleep
Speaker 1: train a ticket to a better night sleep. That was
Speaker 1: the creepiest one. When she was like three and knew
Speaker 1: that whole line.
Speaker 2: It's my sister and I just thought of it I
Speaker 2: the other day. Oh that's sleep.
Speaker 3: Train will take you to a better night, sleep.
Speaker 1: A ticket to a better ticket.
Speaker 2: That's a great lyric. See a lot of these are
Speaker 2: good songs, and they are well right. The auto parts
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the auto The AutoZone song
Speaker 2: actually is a banger that if I need to get
Speaker 2: pumped up, you know, I listen to either that or
Speaker 2: you know, the Tiger or something.
Speaker 1: Get in the zone, Auto Zone. They have to appeal
Speaker 1: to dudes that like songs that sound like that. I
Speaker 1: guess is the thinking at the ad agency, Like it's men.
Speaker 1: They're at the auto parts store. What are they like
Speaker 1: to hear another man growl, scream singing? Yeah, yeah, the title.
Speaker 6: All coked up looking for five six seven spark plugs
Speaker 6: and they're like, I don't know, it's it's kind of
Speaker 6: rainy outside.

Speaker 4: the one of like one of my absolute favorite like duets.
Speaker 4: She's been on Broadway. I was like, we're gonna crush this.
Speaker 4: We go up, he doesn't know the song I'm tone deaf,
Speaker 4: and we come off stage and the MC goes, wow,
Speaker 4: that was that was like a karaoke miscarriage.
Speaker 2: That's what they Yeah, sometimes they take their job too seriously.
Speaker 4: In our heart was like, no, that was priceless game,
Speaker 4: Like I'm sorry, I guess he's just used to like
Speaker 4: la everyone going up and nail Yeah you know. I
Speaker 4: was like, no, that was traditional karaoke where you think
Speaker 4: you're great and you're not and you're about to like,
Speaker 4: you know, throw up from your seventh genitonic and you
Speaker 4: tried to do barbaras race.
Speaker 2: That's what I like, And it should be in a
Speaker 2: bowling alley and you should watch some old man sing
Speaker 2: ac DC or something that you wouldn't think they would
Speaker 2: sing and it. But when it's people that are really good,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be around for that.
Speaker 3: Barn He's bean Rey.
Speaker 4: Bullshit karaoke miscarriage maybe like.
Speaker 1: That is the best ever.
Speaker 3: I was like that, do you mind?
Speaker 1: Can I steal that? We were at some bar. It
Speaker 1: was somebody's birthday and they started doing karaoke and one
Speaker 1: somebody was I'm sure Page was there because it was like,
Speaker 1: you have to sing, Karen, you have pages to do
Speaker 1: that to me? Like we were at Marie's Crisis in
Speaker 1: New York City one time and she's like, I signed
Speaker 1: you up. You have to sing.
Speaker 3: I just got It's like, you don't know you're a
Speaker 3: good singer.
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing.
Speaker 4: You're a professional singer, though, care guys, try and get
Speaker 4: hurt of this.
Speaker 1: This, This is the truth of it. I want to
Speaker 1: be the best singer, but I know I'm not. So
Speaker 1: however good I may or may not be up to
Speaker 1: you when I get up there, I know I'm not
Speaker 1: the best, and therefore I'm even worse than I could be.
Speaker 1: And that's all that entire cycle is heartbreaking to be
Speaker 1: so Like being at a place like Mariu's Crisis, where
Speaker 1: that's where Broadway people go to sing songs to each other,
Speaker 1: I was like, you can't set me up that way.
Speaker 1: This isn't this isn't Acbar or some place like that.
Speaker 1: This is this is Broadway people. I was like, you
Speaker 1: can't do that to me because it's hard enough. And
Speaker 1: good singing was all about being calm and having good
Speaker 1: breath work and being able to like breathe freely. But
Speaker 1: I am so stressy about the whole thing that immediately
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of start doing like this and then
Speaker 1: you're just like trying to get when I'm stuck with
Speaker 1: the day like nine of fool.
Speaker 2: That's what all professional singers would be like, you know,
Speaker 2: don't do that if you chose, you know, Sundays where
Speaker 2: the story ends or something that I know or that's
Speaker 2: what I would.
Speaker 1: Choose for you. Yeah, places there it is.
Speaker 4: And your album recording, what your voice is fantastic?
Speaker 1: Exactly, guys, thank you.
Speaker 3: She only does a joke version on the podcast. It's
Speaker 3: joke voice.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just the thing of I want to be
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston and since I'm not, I have depression, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. I'm not saying I'm right. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that's the trap I'm sing.
Speaker 2: Even Whitney Houston couldn't sing that Sunday's song though, the
Speaker 2: way that I you just got to pick your right
Speaker 2: song is.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying.
Speaker 4: True.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: And Harriet Wheeler did know how to breathe either. Wait
Speaker 2: a minute, did she pass away? That wasn't a joke,
Speaker 2: Harriet Wheeler? I mean about singing Brett. No, I'm thinking
Speaker 2: the nice Cranberri's lady passed And.
Speaker 1: Yeah she did.
Speaker 4: Wait, who's Harriet Wheeler?
Speaker 3: Harriet Wheeler's from the Sundays.
Speaker 2: It's one of the music acts people that Karen and
Speaker 2: I first bonded over.
Speaker 3: Both like Sundays.
Speaker 1: They're like a nineties, late eighties, late edies I've heard
Speaker 1: of the nineties. They're amazing. You've heard It's You and
Speaker 1: Me in the summer time. They have like a couple
Speaker 1: of big hits. They covered Wild Horses. But then their
Speaker 1: first album was the first time I walked into a
Speaker 1: record store, whatever was playing was playing, and then here's
Speaker 1: where the story ends. By the Sundays started and I
Speaker 1: started freaking out and I ran to the front, was like,
Speaker 1: who is this? Because it was such a It was like,
Speaker 1: this is the song I've been waiting to hear my home,
Speaker 1: you know what? You want to know what song?
Speaker 2: I when I went to a record store heard and
Speaker 2: nice immediately had to buy it the same thing.
Speaker 3: It was I'm Just a Girl by No Doubt.
Speaker 2: Oh, because I was like into ska and I was
Speaker 2: like I knew her voice from old SKA compilations. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was so into that No Doubt album. Now, I
Speaker 2: because of the ska part, I'm kind of embarrassed. Have
Speaker 2: you ever done that, Aaron? Have you ever heard a
Speaker 2: song You're like, who is this? I'm buying it right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I just remember seeing Gwen Stefani and I
Speaker 4: was like, I should date women. That was just like
Speaker 4: not like a record thing, Yeah, which a visual more
Speaker 4: of like a visual I need to like absolutely huff
Speaker 4: and then bang her.
Speaker 1: Like gas huff. Yeah, so her pants would fall off.
Speaker 3: I want to just vaporize you and put you in
Speaker 3: a bag and huff it.
Speaker 1: What did you.
Speaker 4: Say to me? I said, I love your first album.
Speaker 1: Gwen Stefani. What's amazing to me is when she first
Speaker 1: came out, I was like, Wow, she's they picked the
Speaker 1: model to be the lead singer of their band. And
Speaker 1: then the more you learn her, it's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: she's writing all the songs. Like the whole story of
Speaker 1: that band is fucking unbelievable and very tragic and sad,
Speaker 1: and like her coming through all of that and then
Speaker 1: just being like this beyond superstar. It's amazing.
Speaker 3: It's the tragedy and sadness. I don't I don't.
Speaker 4: One of their band members, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah they I believe it was one of the founding
Speaker 1: band members because and a cousin. It's like relative.
Speaker 4: And then she was in love with the lead guy,
Speaker 4: but he didn't love her, and that's that was Like
Speaker 4: she wrote those songs don't think or don't speaks.
Speaker 2: Don't speak, don't Yeah, so he's and he's playing he's
Speaker 2: playing lead guitars.
Speaker 1: I hope this isn't about me. Same thing happened with
Speaker 1: boy George and the drummer. He was in love with
Speaker 1: the drummer of his own band, and the drummer was
Speaker 1: kind of like, I'm into you sometimes but not all
Speaker 1: the time. And so all those culture club songs.
Speaker 2: Isn't Yeah, isn't Athletewood Mac like that? They were all
Speaker 2: swinging and orgies and then they're singing about how they're
Speaker 2: upset and they're just four feet away from each other
Speaker 2: doing rhythm guitar.
Speaker 4: Just just open journaling, just like secondhand news, and you're like,
Speaker 4: am I the second hand news? Have we broken up?
Speaker 1: Wait? Are you the second way?
Speaker 4: Are you the second? Are you?
Speaker 1: Is this an accusation?
Speaker 4: You know? I just got to I've been threatening to
Speaker 4: get a record player for about ten years. And if
Speaker 4: you see a pattern where I say say something and
Speaker 4: then I would do it for about ten years, and
Speaker 4: then my partner Sarah is like, just this past Christmas,
Speaker 4: she got me a record player because I've been I've
Speaker 4: had the same probably seventy records, and I've been carrying
Speaker 4: them around for probably twenty.
Speaker 3: Five years, you do have records already.
Speaker 4: And so oh yeah yeah yeah, I just but they're
Speaker 4: like on display, but I'm like I gonna get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. But all these old records came out and
Speaker 4: I realized, like wow, I was I am still like
Speaker 4: out of all of them. I was like, well, two
Speaker 4: quick things the Wham make it Big, And I was
Speaker 4: like the insert of like how beautiful Andrew Ridgely and
Speaker 4: George Michael were, And I was like, were they banging?
Speaker 4: Were they in love? It was one of them in
Speaker 4: love with one of them Careless Swissprobs, it's not about
Speaker 4: a woman, my favorite song of all time one of them.
Speaker 4: But then the other one was Wow, I cannot get
Speaker 4: enough of like seventies and eighties soft rock, like just
Speaker 4: like I have been playing air Supply on a loop
Speaker 4: since I got the record player. Yeah, I mean Ario Speedwagon,
Speaker 4: Air like all of that, Like, oh my god, it's
Speaker 4: been so fun to like go back, and now a
Speaker 4: new thing is going to be like wherever I go,
Speaker 4: if I just see a record store and it's going
Speaker 4: to go in and it'us be fun.
Speaker 1: Yes, and actually kind of shop it almost like thrift
Speaker 1: store shopping. Yeah. Well, and also I think people got
Speaker 1: into yacht rock like in the two thousands, almost like
Speaker 1: being ironic, but what they realized is, no, this shit
Speaker 1: is actually unbelievably amazing and well produced music that like
Speaker 1: that hasn't been reproduced. It's not it's not throw away.
Speaker 1: They weren't one hit wonders. These are like amazing bands
Speaker 1: that were making so many good songs.
Speaker 3: And every once in a while, I'll discover one I
Speaker 3: didn't know.
Speaker 2: Alan Parsons Project made five or six different songs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have the album, Chris, I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 4: I could run into my living room when I was
Speaker 4: going through I was like the Alan Parsons Project.
Speaker 2: It's the one with like the Egyptian I on it.
Speaker 4: And there's a song on that album that I didn't
Speaker 4: know it was them. I thought maybe it was like
Speaker 4: a David Gates and Bread or it wasn't Ee in
Speaker 4: the Sky because that's like the one of the most
Speaker 4: popular ones. But I don't know, I can't I can't
Speaker 4: remember it. But yeah, it's just been so fun to discover,
Speaker 4: like you know, kind of rediscover yeah, because you know,
Speaker 4: you have like the yacht rock and all those fun
Speaker 4: stuff on Spotify, but it's just also just so fun
Speaker 4: to like like look at like the inserts and like
Speaker 4: all the lyrics and the photos and records. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: been a it's been a highlight.
Speaker 1: And little bags of cocaine that sometimes fall out I
Speaker 1: forgot they put in there, and I just in the
Speaker 1: record sleep. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of these are just coded, coded, rowdy powder.
Speaker 2: But I did not know that records were very expensive though,
Speaker 2: Like I need to go find thrift store.
Speaker 4: If you look online, they're like thirty bucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know it's it's to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but my records are so old that I've already
Speaker 4: gone through another like I guess they call it stylus.
Speaker 4: I always call it a needle because it's like it
Speaker 4: gets dirty so quickly that I was like got a
Speaker 4: cleaner and then this record player doesn't have an automatic
Speaker 4: like lift to go back, so it just hits the
Speaker 4: paper and keeps going. I've like I'm gonna like, you
Speaker 4: know whatever, but it's just uh now every morning I
Speaker 4: like get up and play like one record during breck.
Speaker 4: It's just like something like fun and.
Speaker 2: It's like my new I need to realize that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I should find old yacht rock, old whatever, Chicago.
Speaker 2: I don't stuff from my childhood that brings back old memories.
Speaker 3: That would it be like calming music that I can
Speaker 3: driven on.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a recommendation right now, because
Speaker 1: my mom used to put on Carol King's Tapestry in
Speaker 1: the morning and that's how we would wake up, and
Speaker 1: that was our and it was such a good idea
Speaker 1: and we there's it's things like that were Then later on,
Speaker 1: I was like, that was excellent parenting, and I didn't
Speaker 1: appreciate it because I just assumed people's parents were doing
Speaker 1: shit like you were getting like a spa experience to
Speaker 1: get out of bed. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I do appreciate it too that my parents provided for
Speaker 2: me sort of a curated playlist that I appreciate now
Speaker 2: because I'm I'm like, I realize other people don't know
Speaker 2: about these old songs, and I'm like, oh, okay, thanks dad,
Speaker 2: who was a radio DJ.
Speaker 1: I guess that was part of it. Yeah, paying attention, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: totally paying attention to that.
Speaker 4: We used to go around like I have two sisters
Speaker 4: and this was like, you know, we were really like
Speaker 4: us whatever. I was born in seventy three, so like
Speaker 4: late seventies early eighties, and my dad would play a
Speaker 4: song and then Megan would get a song, Tara get
Speaker 4: a song, my mom would get a song you know myself,
Speaker 4: and we'd go for like hours and hours of so
Speaker 4: I got to know, like, you know, like it was.
Speaker 4: It was pretty like after a while, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: Dad's going to play like a big band or Glenn
Speaker 4: Miller or like a Buddy Rich or you know, like
Speaker 4: drums or whatever Mom's going for, like Glenn Campbell.
Speaker 1: Willie Nelson, you know.
Speaker 4: And then we started getting like you know, as we
Speaker 4: got a little bit older, we still did it. Like
Speaker 4: I remember my first album was like it was something
Speaker 4: so cool that I didn't know because my aunt got
Speaker 4: it for me. It was like Synchronicity by the Police, ugh,
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh yeah, I mean I love
Speaker 4: the Police. Never heard of the place, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. And then you'd put it on and like,
Speaker 4: you know, so I was like, I want to get
Speaker 4: all those albums. Not gonna lie. I went to the
Speaker 4: record store. I bought Thriller. I don't care. I mean,
Speaker 4: I know he's a little pig, but that album is
Speaker 4: like I have to I have to have thriller. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: but it's like a real fun way to like kind
Speaker 4: of remember yeah, remember that that period of time.
Speaker 1: Off the Wall is an unbelievable album, like that thing.
Speaker 1: You're just like, this is a child star who could
Speaker 1: have gone through all of his you know I Want
Speaker 1: You Back era and gone away forever and had many
Speaker 1: reasons to with an abusive father and whatever, and instead
Speaker 1: he took a slight break and then was like, hey,
Speaker 1: how about the best I don't know, is that R
Speaker 1: and B? Is that considered?
Speaker 4: I would think so, yeah, R and.
Speaker 1: B music, but like amazing, But it was pop music.
Speaker 1: He was like redefining it.
Speaker 4: I remember that album cover.
Speaker 3: I think it's Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: When I think of pop like that, I think that's
Speaker 2: when I started saying that phrase.
Speaker 1: I just love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But now my dad listens to mostly music from his youth,
Speaker 2: Like he's doing the same thing we're talking about. It's
Speaker 2: like fifties ice cream shop. She's only fifteen.
Speaker 1: What was that lyric?
Speaker 3: Good lord? What a simpler, scary time.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, wait a minute, you introduced me and
Speaker 2: all this other beatles and stuff.
Speaker 3: He just keeps going further back.
Speaker 2: But I do love that the Cranberries came on, not Linger,
Speaker 2: but what was.
Speaker 1: The other zombie dreams Dreams and my dad it came on.
Speaker 2: I'm like, we just kind of were listening in the
Speaker 2: living room by the Christmas tree, and my dad was like,
Speaker 2: this might possibly be one of the best rock songs
Speaker 2: of all time. And I was like, for some reason,
Speaker 2: it hit me in an emotional way because I do
Speaker 2: know that he privately was listening to a lot of
Speaker 2: Cranberries when that came out.
Speaker 3: I think I bought it for him.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was an emotional thing. Music's an emotional thing, you guys.
Speaker 1: It is, It really is.
Speaker 4: Especially when you share like we as a family shared
Speaker 4: a lot of the same you know TV shows. It's like,
Speaker 4: you know, like you awesome books and stuff, but like music,
Speaker 4: if you like, I remember every like all of us
Speaker 4: wholeheartedly are obsessed with still to the stay obsessed with
Speaker 4: the Beg's Like yeah, like hands down, like we all
Speaker 4: have like it's so fun where you're all these different
Speaker 4: generations can like can absolutely. I just remember my dad
Speaker 4: driving the Beg's would come on and like the you know,
Speaker 4: like car rides where you're dragged to do this and this.
Speaker 4: We'd all be like, like my dad's like tapping on
Speaker 4: the like like it's just like those those those are
Speaker 4: the best when you can share something.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: At the time, my dad was like, ah, this disco ship,
Speaker 2: like he wasn't into it, and man, does he love
Speaker 2: it now. It's like we watched a documentary about the Gifts.
Speaker 1: Just say, did you guys see the documentary? Yes? Good,
Speaker 1: it's so good, but it's so true, like you can't
Speaker 1: be that popular. They were so popular. They were just
Speaker 1: constantly being played for months and months and years and years,
Speaker 1: and basically people kind of like rebelled against being forced visit,
Speaker 1: but it didn't mean it wasn't good music.
Speaker 2: And I think I was experiencing my dad that actual
Speaker 2: period of rebelling people rebelling against this disco era stuff.
Speaker 1: But he loves it.
Speaker 2: Now and he remembers people thinking that maybe him included.
Speaker 2: And it's so interesting to see that documentary and watch
Speaker 2: them be frightened after every wave of popularity that they
Speaker 2: went through. They're like, oh, we're done after this, and
Speaker 2: then they get it big with something else.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 3: That part was like, oh man, this is like a
Speaker 3: roller coaster.
Speaker 4: Harry Gibb Like he's like the one of the most
Speaker 4: like prolific songwriters and he.
Speaker 1: Just like and much like Gwen Stefani, he's also a haughtie,
Speaker 1: like a litt You look at him in your like,
Speaker 1: are you a lion? That's singing like a girl, Like

Speaker 1: muppet voice. My dad told a really good story. He
Speaker 1: was a He did a lot of ushering when he
Speaker 1: grew up in San Francisco, and so he told the
Speaker 1: story that his friend was an usher. It's some It
Speaker 1: was like the Circle in the Square or something like that.
Speaker 1: It was a theater in the Round in San Francisco
Speaker 1: or maybe South City, and the bejs came to play
Speaker 1: and I go, Dad, what year was it? Because I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, but I was like, it can't be
Speaker 1: the seventies somebody. He's like, it was like nineteen sixties,
Speaker 1: seven or sixty six. So this was like first round
Speaker 1: Beg's this is like, how can you mend a broken heart?
Speaker 1: Beg's Oh yeah, And he said they were playing and
Speaker 1: the girls were it was all girls. All the girls
Speaker 1: were going insane. He's standing in the aisle as the usher,
Speaker 1: and then the second the show ends, they have because
Speaker 1: it's in the round, they go up an aisle and
Speaker 1: he goes and then we're supposed to, like they get out,
Speaker 1: and then we're supposed to like hold the audience back
Speaker 1: while they like clear, and he goes, No, and my
Speaker 1: dad's six foot four and he's pretty big, and he goes,

Speaker 1: was pinned. I was pinned. These girls they were serious,
Speaker 1: they were going to get to those guys. I had
Speaker 1: no control. He told the funniest story of like that.
Speaker 1: Basically he kind of witnessed and he was like, what
Speaker 1: is this. I've never what's going on and then essentially
Speaker 1: just got completely flattened by Beg's fans. That's so great
Speaker 1: I wish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe uh, maybe the Harry Styles gets that kind
Speaker 2: of reaction now, or I heard he does. But yeah, people,
Speaker 2: people keep it real cool now. No one gets pinned anymore.
Speaker 2: Those were the good old days.
Speaker 4: Those those are the good days.

Speaker 4: we were like dancing and losing our minds and Anita
Speaker 4: Pointer pointed at us, and I was like, I'm like,

Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Didn't we lose a Pointer sister recently?

Speaker 4: the when the Begi's when the twins died, because I'm
Speaker 4: a twin. That was a double. That was like anything twin.
Speaker 4: I lose my mind, you know?
Speaker 2: You know who pointed at the Pointer sisters in the end,
Speaker 2: the bony hand of the grim raper. I'm sorry, that's
Speaker 2: just a visual I saw, but it got made.
Speaker 3: They're great new tron dance one of my favorite it.

Speaker 1: like late seventies, early eighties, so it was like I
Speaker 1: was seven, eight, nine, ten when it was like those
Speaker 1: guys had music on the radio constantly. So so like
Speaker 1: remember when Jump was like the huge.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah for my love jump in Oh my Love.
Speaker 3: I think of that one. I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They just got better and better. They were just
Speaker 1: like doing it. They were like we'll do disco, We'll
Speaker 1: do pop, what do you want? We're the pointer sisters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just some people to perform with your sisters.
Speaker 4: Like I remember I had two sisters and were like,
Speaker 4: what can we possibly do together? Like how can we like,
Speaker 4: We're just like we're all so different, were tone deaf,
Speaker 4: We're like, we can't do.
Speaker 1: A bad day.
Speaker 3: Can't know they were real sisters.
Speaker 2: My back is really starting to sweat after that grim
Speaker 2: reaper calling that I.
Speaker 3: Didn't I thought it was sisters.
Speaker 2: In that they were in a band together. And the
Speaker 2: reason I got sad about the cranberries is she passed
Speaker 2: to she did, I'm not well, you know it's a
Speaker 2: new year.
Speaker 1: It's a new year for people to die. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gotta get healthy every one. Karin, what is you don't
Speaker 1: have to say like a resolution? But what are you
Speaker 1: looking forward to in twenty twenty? Resolutions for.
Speaker 4: This sounds so stupid, but I'm just gonna say, who grees?
Speaker 4: My twin sister lives like the next neighborhood over and
Speaker 4: she we had lived together for a couple of years
Speaker 4: and we got a peloton and then when I moved
Speaker 4: in with my partner, she moved in with her boyfriend.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, you take the pelton And so
Speaker 4: I go over her house like once a week and
Speaker 4: I use the peloton and I was just on it
Speaker 4: the other day and one of the instructors is like,
Speaker 4: you know how they get all so crazy, and she's like,
Speaker 4: what do you leave them behind? Twenty twenty two? What
Speaker 4: do you leave them behind? And I was like, that's
Speaker 4: like it was like the two things I heard that
Speaker 4: resonated the most, because I, you know, you make resolutions,
Speaker 4: but I was like, these are the two things that
Speaker 4: I'm going to try to stick to. What am I
Speaker 4: leaving behind? And then I was listening to some podcast
Speaker 4: and it was like, you know, what is the one
Speaker 4: word you're going to do for twenty twenty three. So
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, I'm going to do those two
Speaker 4: things this year instead of like doing my usual. I
Speaker 4: want to do this and I want to do that whatever.
Speaker 4: So the twenty twenty two leaving behind is well, there's
Speaker 4: a whole bunch, but I'll just do one. It's really
Speaker 4: like I just put like my health like at the
Speaker 4: bottom of the.
Speaker 1: Barrel, right.
Speaker 4: I just was like work this, this, this, and I
Speaker 4: just I out of the blue got like frozen shoulder.
Speaker 1: I just had that Oh my god, the worst Yeah,
Speaker 1: where you just kind of I can't move and you
Speaker 1: can't raise your arm to a certain out.
Speaker 4: Of the blue. This year had all this health stuff,
Speaker 4: not gonna want nothing like insane but like COVID and
Speaker 4: like sinus stuff, and I was just like this is crazy,
Speaker 4: Like I just it was like the biggest lesson of
Speaker 4: like I have to put it sounds so cliche, but
Speaker 4: I never do it. I never put my physical and
Speaker 4: mental health first.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's what I'm like gonna leave behind this
Speaker 4: like bs of just like everything takes precedence over that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe a good joint custody of that peloton.
Speaker 1: You gotta get.
Speaker 3: It's got to be a halfway point.
Speaker 1: Once a week, go to your sister and say, I
Speaker 1: change my mind.
Speaker 4: No, it's fun. It's like go to the gym. It's
Speaker 4: like you just go over our house.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I would love that.
Speaker 4: That's the big thing. And then the one word, the
Speaker 4: one word I'm taking into twenty twenty three is motion
Speaker 4: because I get real depressed when like I'm in between
Speaker 4: writing gigs and I just like I'm in my apartment
Speaker 4: too much and I'm writing I'm not doing a ton
Speaker 4: of stand up. I get like, really, like, you know,
Speaker 4: I need to be moving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just need.
Speaker 4: To be moving. So I'm like, I'm gonna put the
Speaker 4: word motion on my wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and That's.
Speaker 4: What I'm gonna do. So I've been getting up and
Speaker 4: like just going to the reds and walking just just
Speaker 4: like stay in motion.
Speaker 2: That lends itself nicely to the leave behind thing too, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Exactly, Yeah, those are good.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, good, Wow, you nailed that one.
Speaker 1: Chris, What are you going to leave behind? You? Were?
Speaker 1: You found that very appealing? That concept?
Speaker 2: I mean, I yeah, And I'm trying to think of
Speaker 2: the one word because I already told you I plan
Speaker 2: on finally doing therapy.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's my future word.
Speaker 2: Because I've not done any of that since I was
Speaker 2: a young thirteen year old that was hearing voices in
Speaker 2: his head.
Speaker 4: Ah you mean, Joe, No just backg.
Speaker 2: Voices, scratchy noises, trees rubbing against windows that were forming
Speaker 2: words that were suggesting I do things. But that's all
Speaker 2: all behind me and I'm healthy. I'm just kidding. They
Speaker 2: never suggested I do anything, but they were voices.
Speaker 4: How are we going to get out of this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Karen starts singing Kenny into AutoZone. God sake.
Speaker 2: Someone mentioned the Begees, but I think that most people
Speaker 2: I know are in It's because we've gotten not just sedentary,
Speaker 2: but we've I'm so okay with just being home and
Speaker 2: not going anywhere that I of course I'm not going
Speaker 2: and working out, and I'm in my lung I can
Speaker 2: tell when I run just to go, you know, to
Speaker 2: chase a mugger, or you know, occasionally run my lungs
Speaker 2: immediate to do.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of muggers in my neighborhood, but
Speaker 3: I very much.
Speaker 2: Want to in the future because I was confronted by
Speaker 2: this time.
Speaker 1: Last year.
Speaker 2: I watched my brother in law of art attack and
Speaker 2: my nephew save his life, and now he's totally normally.
Speaker 2: He's back to who he was, and so I think
Speaker 2: that we should all worry more about our hearts. And
Speaker 2: I was Karen when I did that Heart Foundation golf tournament.
Speaker 2: I promised them I would mention the foundation. So I
Speaker 2: guess I'll do that now because February is American Heart Month,
Speaker 2: and the foundation that had me do that golf tournament
Speaker 2: had just came up with a vaccine that's in its
Speaker 2: second trial now that gets rid of the plaque in
Speaker 2: the heart, the arthrosclerosis I believe it's called, which is
Speaker 2: the same as the thing Karen, you and I are
Speaker 2: always Alzheimer's plaque on the brain.
Speaker 3: Like it seems like every scary thing is plaque. So anyways, see.
Speaker 1: Why my dad was Remember when my dad was in
Speaker 1: the hospital last year, That's exactly what it was for.
Speaker 1: He had to go get like a thing. They had
Speaker 1: to put a little thing in there and clear that
Speaker 1: out for in his heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the number one heart disease, is the number
Speaker 2: one killer of firemen, it's the number one killer of
Speaker 2: men and women in general. And my point is, I
Speaker 2: am going to learn CBR. I think everyone should learn CPR.
Speaker 2: We only seventy percent of people know it or feel
Speaker 2: comfortable with it. But yeah, the Heart Foundation, I wanted
Speaker 2: to mention they do really cool work at CEDARS and
Speaker 2: they're now they're working on this vaccine and they're going
Speaker 2: to have results in February, which is American Heart Month.
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm talking about that. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to get healthy, great and I'm going to learn CPR
Speaker 2: and I'm going to go to therapy.
Speaker 1: Okay, Karen, what is yours? Nice one? That's a great
Speaker 1: crazy guys yous guys are well, you know what's funny?
Speaker 1: I for the leaving behind. I think you're right. I'm
Speaker 1: on board with you where And it makes me think
Speaker 1: of it erin because I adore you. You're one of my
Speaker 1: good friends, and I don't see you or talk to
Speaker 1: you enough at all, like like it's been four years,
Speaker 1: like pre COVID, and I'm very embarrassed because seeing you
Speaker 1: makes me go, why the fuck don't I text you
Speaker 1: four times a week? Like why wouldn't I? You're my
Speaker 1: favorite person. And we were going to write that script
Speaker 1: we had for a while there. We had we had
Speaker 1: all these plans, and I think it's just like, you
Speaker 1: know whatever, we got busy the ship that everybody always says,
Speaker 1: it's what everyone says, but somebody was just saying socializing
Speaker 1: and planning social things and being among people that you
Speaker 1: really love and really care about, not not just like
Speaker 1: the Hollywood kind of CNB seen, but actual meaningful socializing
Speaker 1: is really important for like human connection and human health
Speaker 1: and so aside to go along with my morning stretches,
Speaker 1: which is something I actually have been doing since the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year because I'm so stiff and I
Speaker 1: got the fucking frozen shoulder thing where literally I would
Speaker 1: go to open it like a cabinet and it would
Speaker 1: be like I would lift my arm slightly above shoulder
Speaker 1: and be like in such hideous pain, Like it's so crazy,
Speaker 1: so stretching, but then also actually.
Speaker 2: I'm showing that for something real quick. This my sister
Speaker 2: got me this, and I can't stop stretching.
Speaker 3: Because of it. It's like a tighter and I don't know.
Speaker 4: What that says, try to ear trickery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is just.
Speaker 2: It is a rigid band that has all these loops
Speaker 2: in it. And I the other day when my shoulder hurt,
Speaker 2: I put it behind and you put your hands in
Speaker 2: these bands and it stretches.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: All I do is experiment with it. And because my
Speaker 2: sister got me one of these, I can't not look
Speaker 2: over and see it and not trans stretch. So sorry
Speaker 2: to interrupt, but that's very much suggests.
Speaker 1: Will you take a picture and then send it send
Speaker 1: it to me. I can get one to try for
Speaker 1: physical things like slowly stretching and realizing how tight, Like
Speaker 1: I'm just tight and stressed out all the time, and
Speaker 1: like work, you know what I mean, Like I have
Speaker 1: a physicality to my the stress that I take on
Speaker 1: and work, so so kind of trying to ease that
Speaker 1: up and counterbalancing that with actually making an effort to
Speaker 1: socialize and see my friends because I am the queen
Speaker 1: of like I want to do it and then the
Speaker 1: night of I will cancel. I do it all the time,
Speaker 1: and it pisses people off, rightfully so, and so I
Speaker 1: think that is what I will be leaving behind, is
Speaker 1: that kind of taking other people for granted, or like
Speaker 1: taking that kind of socializing for granted when it's actually
Speaker 1: crucial to my mental health and to my kind of
Speaker 1: like basic happiness. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, I am ready to hang out Karen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, great at Karen's at the party.
Speaker 3: She's going to have Karen have another party.
Speaker 1: I should well now that. Yeah, when the when the
Speaker 1: rains pass and all the debris flows away into the
Speaker 1: La River and everyone can access everything, I will absolutely
Speaker 1: do that. It's a great idea.
Speaker 3: It's not first week of February. I got my rock show.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do it for Valentine's Day. Yeah, Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: A Valentine's party.
Speaker 4: That's not awkward. You go from zero to a Valentine's
Speaker 4: Day zero two.
Speaker 1: You're only invited if I love you or am and love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or if if you're not in a relationship, you
Speaker 2: can't come.
Speaker 1: You can't come, and you have to write a letter
Speaker 1: explaining what's wrong with you that you're not in a relationship.
Speaker 1: And then I'm not invited to my own party. God
Speaker 1: damn it, I didn't solve anything.
Speaker 4: Let's just start with like an easy mixer, like I
Speaker 4: have a block happy hour.
Speaker 1: Just get ease on into this Valentine's Day. Cancel your
Speaker 1: dinner plans. You're coming to my house.
Speaker 2: It's a serious orgy in your backyard, and you have
Speaker 2: to watch through a window because you're not enviros.
Speaker 1: You're virus. So your keys in this bowl get in here.
Speaker 3: I'll just hold the well in my bedroom.
Speaker 1: It'll be too loud. It would be hilarious to have
Speaker 1: an orgy while everyone can't do anything post COVID. That
Speaker 1: would be amazing, just to be like it'll be like
Speaker 1: the just light shoulder touches. And then everyone goes home
Speaker 1: and I watch TV.
Speaker 4: Or like you, they come over your place where an orgy,
Speaker 4: everyone gets in and then you leave. You're like, come on,
Speaker 4: I'll be back at twelve.
Speaker 1: I don't even say anything, or just an Irish goodbye.
Speaker 1: I locked the door behind me bye. I just like
Speaker 1: I just like the orgy aftermath. I like to come
Speaker 1: and I just want to clean up. That's so awesome.
Speaker 4: I just like I get a lot of stress out
Speaker 4: when I clean, you know. And I've had like a
Speaker 4: really bad week, so I'm gonna need you guys to
Speaker 4: come over have an orgy. I leave her on one
Speaker 4: and then I'm gonna need to clean it up.
Speaker 2: And I just love the aerosol, you know, kind of humigate.
Speaker 1: Bodily fluid smells. Specifically, get that fabuloso going and just
Speaker 1: wipe down those walls.
Speaker 4: You get an invite for an orgy. It looks like
Speaker 4: Karen's had a bad week's doing it again. She's doing
Speaker 4: it again again. She's making us fuck everybody so she
Speaker 4: can clean up again.
Speaker 1: Weird, Well, like the one I went to.
Speaker 2: If you show up solo, you have to leave after
Speaker 2: the Lobster was another episode. Sorry arent there, I went
Speaker 2: through a lobster bake and it turned into an orgy
Speaker 2: and I got kicked out. During phase two, I started,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's already tarps on the tables.
Speaker 1: But after we ate the lobster, it was like.
Speaker 2: A neighborhood thing where people paid tickets and helped buy
Speaker 2: the lobster. And that turned to an orgy, and I.
Speaker 4: Was asked, was it planned? Yes, it was planned.
Speaker 2: Let's do these things both in one night. I love lobster,
Speaker 2: you love having sex with our friends? No?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I They're like, oh, did you bring anyone? They
Speaker 2: were nice about it, but I'm like no, and they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: time to go. And I'm like, what that doesn't make sense?
Speaker 2: And then uh, someone one of my neighbors let me
Speaker 2: in on it, like oh yeah, they all get naked
Speaker 2: and it's weird.
Speaker 4: I can't like, lobster is so rich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's true.
Speaker 2: Cleanup butter, yeah, yeah, there's clean up, lobster cleanup.
Speaker 3: And then and then the one that Karen's so into.
Speaker 1: After so many napkins, what a waste god.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm like, well, every day I'm like what am
Speaker 4: I doing? You know? And but like after I hear
Speaker 4: those stories, I'm like I think I'm fine, yes, right,
Speaker 4: like maybe I've gotten a little boring, yeah, but like
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't. I was on one of those
Speaker 4: gate like my adorable gay boy cruises that I that
Speaker 4: I do stand up comedy on, but I haven't done
Speaker 4: it in a while.
Speaker 1: And it's boys, it's all boys.
Speaker 4: It's the greatest gig I got. Wow, it's the greatest
Speaker 4: gig ever. But again, I hate to do this because
Speaker 4: this wound up in my act. But I'm just giving
Speaker 4: you this real scenario. Waiting for lunch with my two
Speaker 4: my gay boys, I got lunch. Lunch guy runs up,
Speaker 4: Sorry I'm late, totally flustered. He's like, sorry, im l
Speaker 4: I just stumbled into an.
Speaker 3: Orgy and in one of the rooms.
Speaker 4: I literally I just was. But the craziest thing was
Speaker 4: the reaction. They go, oh, yeah, all right, whatever, let's go,
Speaker 4: and they all go to lunch and I'm sitting there
Speaker 4: and I had, like, you know, that's the whole joke.
Speaker 4: Whatever I did, I had a whole breakdown. But I
Speaker 4: was like the casualness of like, I really like, I
Speaker 4: guess it's kind of like the beauty of getting older
Speaker 4: and knowing yourself because there are moments where like again,
Speaker 4: if I stumble to an orgy, shoot me.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Another is like, uh, what's the I always forget this?
Speaker 4: You know Scout der would Yes, she's the absolute best.
Speaker 4: What does she what does she know? The shows where
Speaker 4: take one thing off her whole show.

Speaker 4: do burlesque shoot me? Like there are there are just
Speaker 4: like I just know I have. I've done a lot.
Speaker 4: I've tried a lot, but like the orgy burlesque, like
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 2: Well, especially like with those guys on the boat that
Speaker 2: they were like, oh yeah whatever if it's ever an
Speaker 2: orgy is like oh yeah, that same old, same old.
Speaker 2: Like the way I talk about having to go grocery shopping.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to get used to orgies.
Speaker 1: No, No, that should always be fresh and now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes and new come aboard orgy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, our orgy is just like commonplace, like wow, where
Speaker 4: do you be?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You've maybe numbed out too far. Maybe it's time
Speaker 1: to go back to the woods or something.
Speaker 4: Get the drugs out of the system. Yeah, go to
Speaker 4: some just like fresh air, library, walk in the woods.
Speaker 4: Just get back in touch with I don't know, just
Speaker 4: some fresh air, you're right, just some fresh hair back,
Speaker 4: get off the boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, I think we solved it. Yeah, man, what
Speaker 1: a great man.
Speaker 3: We went through a lot, a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 4: Karen. The light in your yeah, k and I'm like,
Speaker 4: now you're a ghost or I'm.
Speaker 2: Having a stress the podcast where Karen becomes a haunted doll.
Speaker 1: Then like this spot in my dad's house is really
Speaker 1: the only place I can do any of this, but
Speaker 1: this is where all the zoom calls take place too.
Speaker 1: And this light is so fucking harsh during the day.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm always so red and I'm always where
Speaker 1: I'm like I try to powder beforehand where it's like
Speaker 1: I just look furious. And also like I just got
Speaker 1: back from Rio dejan Era, Like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: But please for just for air, and can you do
Speaker 2: the minor adjustment where you become a floating head?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Like, yeah, going closer, you just.
Speaker 2: Adjusted your light and all of a sudden you wear
Speaker 2: a floating head.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know what it was.
Speaker 4: I just wish the listeners could see the light is
Speaker 4: just getting darker and now.
Speaker 2: You really illuminated blowing and you can kind of see
Speaker 2: the outline.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you did it before.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: It was when it was my other office there was
Speaker 1: less to reflect off of. So maybe it was that
Speaker 1: the darkness came around this way. There was a point,
Speaker 1: because of course this it's like with the hair and
Speaker 1: always my black long sleeved shirt is a real mimy
Speaker 1: mum and chance kind of like it's just this mask
