17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: still filled with juice because the coffee we got was

18
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: not juice. It was, in fact, dosed with something other

19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: than caffeine. But we're gonna keep trucking ahead. We both

20
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: feel kind of jittery. And would you call it anxiety?

21
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

22
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: I feel nausea and uh abject fear.

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's it's it's it's not just

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: coincidence that that's the way you feel before something big happens.

25
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Yep, and something big is happening right now.

26
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Yes, the moon is in the right place. We are

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: driving with a friend that I have not seen in

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: a while. You know him from his podcast or his

29
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: riding or clubs in colleges across the country. Everyone put

30
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: your ears together for Nick Wiger.

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: Hey, buddy, thanks for having me.

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Of course, thank you for having us.

33
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: What a pleasant format. Just get a nice little ride.

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, just drive nowhere? Do you want to drive near

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: or buy anything?

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 5: You know, I don't have any specific landmarks in this area,

37
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 5: so you know, I'm free just to cruise.

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: Pretty just for fun. Want to drive through the Hollywood

39
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: Burbank Airport?

40
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: Ooh, what is tempting?

41
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: That used to be what we did when we first started. Wow,

42
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: drop or pick off people at the airport and pick

43
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: them off. Of course pick them off, we would. It

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: was we had to hire a sniper. There was just

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: so many details. Yeah, and people, A lot of people died.

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 5: So I have a friend who's he told me this

47
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 5: that his sister in law has an irrational fear of

48
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 5: snipers in public places.

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: Seems like a like.

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: It feels like a uniquely American paranoia that you're just

51
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: out in a like at a farmer's market, you're gonna

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 5: get picked off.

53
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: Also by not just a like a lone gunman or

55
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 3: a rando, but a sniper right right, Like someone's come

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: to get you specifically.

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can't see them, you don't know where

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 5: they are. Yeah, I pink misted before.

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 2: I've felt that at outdoor shows well on stage, being

60
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: the focus of attention, being well lit, of course you

61
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: would get me first, the guy on stage. So I

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: have felt that before. I've shared that paranoia, but it's

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: only wow on stage at an outdoor show. It doesn't

64
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: come up enough, but it comes up enough that I

65
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: do have a joke about that fear.

66
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to do it?

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 6: Uh?

68
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: No? No, Now there's too many things. Too many YEA

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: not a solid bit?

70
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: Do you want to?

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: Maybe you can follow up the joke and I'll tell

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: you a true st that I went to high school

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: with a guy that was at that Las Vegas Country

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: music festival shooting where the guy was just shooting into

75
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: the and he lived and he helped other people get out.

76
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: But he told me the story, I don't know, five

77
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: years ago something at like our old teacher's funeral or something,

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 3: and I was just like, I cannot believe you lived

79
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: through that insane, and it makes me feel like it's

80
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: like when we hear stories like that, that's how you

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: get a fear like that. It sounds crazy, but it's

82
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: like you're getting it from a very real place.

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: It happened to those people. Yeah, did your friend have

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: it come from a place?

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: I mean, like, I don't know that.

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: This is a degree removed, so I don't know them personally,

87
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: but so I don't think there's a specific origin and

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 5: it just comes from the media.

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, my jaw was a gape hearing that. It's

90
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: a wild thing to survive.

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: Yes, and he was. We went to high school. He

92
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: was a senior when I was a freshman. He was

93
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: kind of a shorter guy, and he was like the

94
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: King of the short guys, where he's just like mouthy

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: and people and all the biggest personality of all time.

96
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: I love a short king.

97
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: He was truly the King of the short kings, like

98
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: and so funny, like so funny. And when I heard

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: him tell me the story, I was like, this is

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: so perfect for you, Like this is what you have

101
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: been living to be. You couldn't be the basketball star,

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: you couldn't be the football star. You get to be

103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: this kind of star, which is like, who can do

104
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: that besides army people and like paramedics and stuff.

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 2: Even more reinforcing. While it happened, only tall people around

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: him were the ones getting picked off. See that's not funny.

107
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: It is not, it's not.

108
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Is that your joke perfectly blended?

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: No? No, no, but I'm really good. I mean, it's

110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: just again. I occasionally we go back and edit things out.

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: I'll think about it.

112
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: We'll let the audience still up.

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I can't wait for that a little.

114
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: More airback here.

115
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:02,760

Speaker 2: you have event Nick by your ankles.

117
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sitting pretty back here. Actually, it is a

118
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: toasty February day.

119
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: So crazy.

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: So when did we win? Did the show?

121
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: Sorry, really quick, it's eighty five degrees eighty five just.

122
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: So thanks a lot, Al Gore win will I'll never stop.

123
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: I've said that joke a thousand times. I didn't deserve

124
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: your laugh. I thinked it. We used to be locked

125
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: in a small anxious room together, shouldered a shoulder, shackled

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: at the ankles. Yes, writing oftentimes monologue jokes.

127
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: That's right.

128
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 5: We both worked on this fuel TV show called The

129
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 5: Daily Habit, which was my first full time TV writing job. Actually,

130
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 5: I previously worked on some on a pilot, and I

131
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 5: previously had I'd previously done some contributing for The Onion,

132
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 5: but this was the first time where I was like,

133
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: oh wow, this is my day job, right, And it

134
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 5: was refreshing to eventually learn that they're not all like

135
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: that because it's a It was a very strange job.

136
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Yes, there was a lot of elements, especially around the

137
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: time you got hired, where new people came in to

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: manage that were not necessarily certified to be in charge

139
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: of a youth culture or action sports show. But we

140
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: also did comedy, so you were one hundred percent qualified

141
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: and we needed you. And man, you were good.

142
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: Oh god bless you. It was really fun to work

143
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: with you.

144
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 5: I mean like like it was just such a weird

145
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: circumstance where I was just like, Okay, I just gotta

146
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: go with the flow, where like, Okay, this is a

147
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 5: this is like an this was an.

148
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: Action sports wrap up show.

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 5: And I did learn the term that action sports has

150
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 5: preferred over extreme sports. Yes, they get very touchy about

151
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: extreme sports. Yes, and this was an action sports wrap

152
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: up show that was turned into like an attempt at

153
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 5: I guess the John Stewart Daily Show kind of that naturally, Yeah, yeah,

154
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: and so and the God bless them. You know, the good,

155
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: good people worked on the show, but a lot of

156
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: them came from like the sports world and didn't really

157
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: understand the comedy side.

158
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: And we would have to there would be a pre

159
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: production for the week's monologue jokes, but other things where

160
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: we would have to read them to these x NFL

161
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: TV show a place that now were like, you know,

162
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: they didn't know the first thing about a lot of

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: the sports, but we had to read the jokes and

164
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: get a reaction from them. And anytime, I don't remember

165
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: why you let me read your jokes. Our initials were

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: next to our jokes sometimes, but I was always so

167
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: excited to read nixt jokes because you would we'd sit

168
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: there for an hour and you would have twenty perfect jokes.

169
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I've been doing stand up

170
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: and joke writing is a big part of that, but

171
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: the other is buying buying flights. I guess sure you

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: didn't have a joke riding background, but you just hammered

173
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: out these perfect jokes, and uh, and I would get

174
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: to read them, but they'd get a big laugh and

175
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. I often said that was neck.

176
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, no, you're.

177
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: But but I it did feel good getting those laughs

178
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: from your jokes, and then I'd read mine and some

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: of them made get laughs. But you had a high

180
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: kill rate.

181
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 4: Oh thanks dude. Yeah, that that's really nice to say.

182
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: It was. It was a really.

183
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 5: The volume of material that had to be produced was definitely.

184
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: I mean that's one thing. I am a quantity over

185
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 5: quality guy. So like if you need if you need

186
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 5: ten options, I can get you thirty.

187
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Right.

188
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 5: But like, and so this that was a job where

189
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: that was an asset. But it was also like things

190
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 5: like you just kind of have to adapt to. I

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: would never this is not really a show I would watch,

192
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: And these are not really the kind of things I

193
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 5: would want to riff on. Like it's like it'd be

194
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 5: like like a mom who was doing a dance in

195
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: her underwear and then shit her pants or something like

196
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: this is fucking disgusting.

197
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. We started to show videos and get respond like, no,

198
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: that's a.

199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: Really good joke.

200
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: This is fucking discussing.

201
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: On world stummas. I would I'm like I don't have

202
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: a joke for this. It's just I'm disturbed and that

203
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: was disgusting. Can you use that statement? Yeah, yeah, there's

204
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: there was it. I forgot even that. Towards the last

205
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: few years, we were just showing a viral video. So

206
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: it was half action sports, half interview an athlete, some

207
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: comedy sketches, and then some ridiculousness comment panel comment athlete

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: and an actor, a random actor. This guy was in Twilight.

209
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: Let's see if he wrote any jokes, yes, or we

210
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: would write jokes for them. There was a lot going on.

211
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I didn't make the comparison, but it

212
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 5: was kind of a proto ridiculousness and also condemborrhaneous with

213
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 5: Tosh point zero, which he was emulating. Yes, so yeah,

214
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: there'd be a panel and sometimes the panel would include

215
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: like there would be comedians on the panel.

216
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 4: You'd be on the on the panel. Sometimes that was

217
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: always great.

218
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 5: But like then we it would also be like a

219
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 5: professional ruller blader. Yes, and he's like okay, and we

220
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 5: gotta we got to pitch this guy jokes and convince

221
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: them if he says them on TV with confidence.

222
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's okay, Sorry, Sorry, all that time. Do you

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 2: ever meet these people.

224
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Where they were going so fast? I didn't think they

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: would be going that fast.

226
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: I only want to be around people that you're sorry

227
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: all the time. There is there is the occasional time

228
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: where I'll like, I my grandma passed, I'm sorry, and

229
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: then someone looks at you strange, Why are you sorry?

230
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: You didn't kill my grandma? I'm like, oh, weird. Are

231
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: we from a different world where you can express sorrow

232
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: for you know what I'm saying.

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: I do know what you're saying.

234
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 5: Sometimes also get there like, oh, it's not your fault,

235
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 5: you know, which is okay, I think at aggressive version.

236
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: Of that, but of course not how did you jump

237
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: to me killing your cream? I'm sorry for you. Well,

238
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: you didn't do it, not on purpose at least. Wait,

239
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,479
Speaker 2: I'm somewhat complicit.

240
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: I think the response is like, you're clearly still in grief.

241
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to stop talking.

242
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 4: To you now. Sure that makes sense.

243
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: You don't know how to receive support at this time

244
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: in your life.

245
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: I think that that's I think that's right. But I've

246
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: also had people get offended when it's just like they

247
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: drop an ice cream and cone, Oh, I'm sorry that happened?

248
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: Why you didn't drop my ice cream? Oh, we're just

249
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: different people.

250
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes people seem to like for some reason, I

251
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 5: think that's condescending or whatever, and it's like, I don't know,

252
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to.

253
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 4: Be uh you know, oh yeah, empathetic.

254
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: But it's a bid for connection my fault. Yeah, Nick,

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Do you know why you were so good at writing

256
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: hard jokes?

257
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: Because I agree with Chris where that skill is very

258
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: rare and difficult, especially under pressure.

259
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like it's a good question. I guess

260
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 4: I've just.

261
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 5: I guess some of it probably came from reps on

262
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 5: Twitter and reps writing because when I was at the Onion,

263
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 5: we'd have to generate like twenty to fifty headlines a week,

264
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: so they're just like just coming up with a.

265
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: Lot of material.

266
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: But I don't know, I don't know if i'd even

267
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's very nice of Fairbanks to describe

268
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: it that way. I don't even i'd self assess at

269
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 5: that as some sort of joke writing prodigy. But I

270
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 5: do think I am someone who would be like, Okay,

271
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 5: I can hit whatever the quota is and it can

272
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: make sure all these are at least the format and structure.

273
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: Of a joke, you know what I mean, and then

274
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: deliver them like they're a joke.

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, and I was more from the I can't

276
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: get this one joke perfect, and so at the end

277
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: I'd have like an unfinished perfect joke and you'd add

278
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: thirty you know.

279
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: What it was though, I think I think that's a

280
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 5: good point, is that I would not hung up on one.

281
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: And I was also like, you know, the perfect is

282
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 5: the enemy of the good, which is just another way

283
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 5: of saying what you were just saying about yourself sometimes,

284
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 5: so I especially when there was a deadline, I'm just like, oh,

285
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 5: let me just get crank these out.

286
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I kind of wish we had had a

287
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: discussion and you encouraged me to do that, just hammer

288
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: out some okay ones. Oh oh, I know.

289
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the difference in a room.

290
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: In a writer's room, there's the monologue guys, and then

291
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: there's the people are like concept people. There can be

292
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: monologue women as well. Yes, stop everyone stop attacking me.

293
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: But finally she said it. But I think that those

294
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: type two types of brains, it often isn't interchangeable. So

295
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: like if you're not a monologue person. You just do

296
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: it differently in a different way. So it's like there's

297
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: structure people and then there's concept people.

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's like you're interrupt you.

299
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 5: It's like it's like the ven diagram circles don't fully overlap. Yeah,

300
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: and and definitely I feel like you people see people

301
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: falling into either camp. Even on a scripted show, there're

302
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 5: people who are more story people and people are more

303
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 5: joke people.

304
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, where did you move on to after? Because I

305
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: was relieved that the whole time we were there, I'm like,

306
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: I was monitoring the success of other stand ups that

307
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: are my friends, and they were just on the road

308
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: doing well, and I was in a room and I

309
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: kind of wished I was doing stand up. So I

310
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: was relieved the day that they said, hey, this show's done,

311
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: here's hr to tell you how to do a resume,

312
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: and that people were crying because of livelihood, and I

313
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: think the host and I like high fived and I

314
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: took a surfboard and some of the clothes and left.

315
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: But it was definitely something of a relief, I would say,

316
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: because I was hired for its final season, and so

317
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 5: I got the sense that I was.

318
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: Getting on board of a sinking show. They're really retooling they.

319
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: You're right, they did tell us, oh they canceled it

320
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: and said, but keep making shows for a couple of months.

321
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, there was that.

322
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so we really did whatever we wanted. But

323
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: you went on after that? Did you have another riding job?

324
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: I went straight to Funnier Die. And it was one

325
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: of those things where I had like an opportunity to

326
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 5: go to either Funnier Die or The Fine Brothers, two

327
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: different Internet sort of institutions, and I opted for Funnier Die,

328
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: and I was like, that was actually ended up being

329
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 5: a pretty big sliding doors moment of my life in hindsight,

330
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 5: when I was just kind arbitrary.

331
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, look to the one I have friends at.

332
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: But one of my visceral memories of the most visceral

333
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 5: memories of that job is the final day, the final taping,

334
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: host Pat Parnell, you know, says the goodbye to everyone.

335
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 5: Everyone's up there, you know, the crew is hugging and

336
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 5: everything in. That's a wrap everyone big round of applause,

337
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: and then immediately crew guys start disassembling the set just

338
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 5: like yeah, yeah, just stuffs just falling over forward in seconds.

339
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: And one of the guys handed me one of those

340
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: plugin skateboard that had the die cut like skull. Oh yeah,

341
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: I still have it in my living room.

342
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

343
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: He just turned and said this is yours, and I'm like,

344
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: thank you. And I didn't run it by anyone else,

345
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: but you're right. That was They just started and.

346
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: The walls just started bawling it and they kind.

347
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: Of like do my NASCAR lugnut drill sound effects, get

348
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: so excited, incredible, and they just put up the NFL

349
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: Howie Long stuff and we were out of there.

350
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: All right.

351
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: We shared a dressing one with Fox NFL Sunday, and

352
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 5: so we were in there and they'd be like the

353
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: giant portraits of like Terry Bradshaw and you know who

354
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: was the guy who was doing impressions of John Madden

355
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: at the time. Kelly Endo was up there too, and

356
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 5: so like, yeah, we kind of had all their stuff,

357
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 5: but we were using it during the week when they

358
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 5: were dark.

359
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

360
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: My first writing job was Frank Kellando's first TV job,

361

Speaker 3: Incredible, But he was like the They had just kind

365
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: of discovered him in the clips and he had all

00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: this impressions.

367
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: But I do watch his He posts old clips of

368
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: him as John Madden. I have to be careful not

369
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: to say Steve Madden's famous cobbler. And he he was

370
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: so good at and he was funny. Yes, it was

371
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: much more like the rich little like I impersonate people

372
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: and a couple of times the day, but he would

373
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: make them say really funny things. But yeah, it was

374
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: a It was a football green room and when we

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: were nervous. Nick you all might remember I h or

376
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: were you on set as often? I feel like you

377
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: had to stay in the office too much.

378
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: It depends.

379
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 5: I mean for tape days, I was there on set,

380
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 5: but but I wouldn't go on remotes.

381
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: They never sent me in the feet.

382
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: You didn't get to go to Vegas and get punched

383
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: by Travis Pastrana. And I used to drink Terry Bradshaw's vodka.

384
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: He started marking the bottle, stopped drinking my vodka. One

385
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: time he put a post it note. I just started

386
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: filling it with water. Then it started freezing. He knew

387
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: someone was drinking it, but I was nervous I had

388
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: to be on camera. I wasn't medicated. Cut to We're

389
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: at a party and I maybe told this story, but

390
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: it's a good one. Mike Judge was having a party

391
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: in randomly, Terry Bradshaw and Owen Wilson showed up together.

392
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: They had been in a movie and they were very,

393
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 2: very drunk, and I was It was in San Monica

394
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: at some bar and I was waiting at the bar

395
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: and Terry Bradshaw stood next to me. Came in tore

396
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: her a drink, and he looked at me and maybe

397
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: recognized me from sharing the green room, but I was like,

398
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: he said, what's your story? Like he just and I said, Oh,

399
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm the guy that used to drink your vodka in

400
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: the green room at Fox. And he's like, you son

401
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: of a bench and he got me in a headlock,

402
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: but he was laughing. He was like he knew exactly,

403
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: he wondered for years who was drinking that vodka and

404
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: the respect.

405
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: He had for you for admitting to his gigantic face.

406
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: He bonded in a way that my dad would have loved.

407
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: I wish my dad had seen me get in the

408
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: headlocked by Terry Bradshaw. But Owen Wilson thought it was

409
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: a real fight and start punching me hard and make

410
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: the stomach and to where Terry had to be like,

411
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: what are you doing? We're joking around here, and the

412
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: story kind of fizzles out from there.

413
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: But there you get so enraged.

414
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: I got very angry, and yes, the whole night was

415
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: he punching you hard?

416
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 4: Yes, oh my god, really.

417
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: Hard in the stomach. He thought it was a fight and.

418
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: Terry Bradshaw needed back up. Yes, he was.

419
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 6: Well.

420
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: The funny thing is over the year, he's maybe six

421
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: feet tall. I thought he was because of that old

422
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: Bird Reynolds movie where he smashes someone through a jukebox.

423
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: I think it's called Hooper. No one saw it. And

424
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: then he talking, no, no, no. Terry Bradshaw came back

425
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: when he had a bowl cut, a Javeyard Bard and

426
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: bowl cut. He gets punched and then spits his tooth

427
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: into Bird Reynolds's face. He was six foot five or something.

428
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: He or they had him on an apple box. But

429
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: that version is not who put me in a headlock.

430
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: It was someone who, you know, comfort. He smelled like

431
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 2: my grandpa.

432
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: Kind of that's interesting.

433
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always assumed those he was huge because quarterbacks

434
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 5: are generally.

435
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 4: Like six three and up. It feels feels like.

436
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he you know, I I have a bad

437
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: I'm a bad judge. I didn't know I had short

438
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: until I browsed some dating apps. I didn't know that

439
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: five nine was hit the roads.

440
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Short king so tough.

441
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah.

442
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: But you're all you do.

443
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm lucky to be six to one.

444
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: But for our short kings out there, it's like there

445
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 5: is nothing you have less control over that is more determinative.

446
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: Of your fate.

447
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 5: And it's completely inverted for women in an unfair way,

448
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: where if you're like a tall woman, you're like, you.

449
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: Know, oh really yeah.

450
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 5: I feel like if there's a stigma for women over

451
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 5: six feet, yes, this is what because men don't want

452
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 5: a woman that's taller than them for the most part.

453
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah see, that's something I never cared about either, Right,

454
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: I've never even noticed. All every girlfriend I had in

455
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: college growing up, they're all taller in me. I didn't

456
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: didn't really register.

457
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: Also, it's like when people feel like they maybe have

458
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: a little something to make up for, then this is

459
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: where the charisma comes in. This is where the charm

460
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: and the jois de vive comes in and you're just like, oh,

461
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: there's here's a personality.

462
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Either like or not like.

463
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: But I have charisma. That's why I don't have to

464
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: have that yellow g wagon right there.

465
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: See, I don't need it.

466
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: No, And I didn't need charisma because I'm tall, so

467
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 5: right that.

468
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: That's why you're the monologue guy. They didn't need chrisma.

469
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: We're personality highers all day long. I'll stand around in

470
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: writer's room, people are like, what does she actually do?

471
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing.

472
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: I'm background morale boost. That's the job I keep getting.

473
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 5: I really feel like that's an essential like the person

474
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: who's going to keep the room light and fun and

475
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: crack up the other writers and remind everyone that this

476
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 5: is an insane, dumb thing that we get paid to do.

477
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: It's an invaluable presence because it's so it can so

478
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: turn into like a hyper competitive everyone's trying to top

479
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 5: each other sort of environment.

480
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 4: So the collaboration that it should be.

481
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: You need the goofy energy.

482
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like Tommy Blocho was our head writer on Zach's

483
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: talk show, and it was like you couldn't That's where

484
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: I started learning how bad I was. It even attempting

485
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: writing monologue jokes where I would try one that was

486
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: like topical, and then I would just resubmit all the ones.

487
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: I'd written the day before.

488
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: And finally he's like, hey, you know you get paid

489
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 3: to like put new stuff on the page.

490
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: And I was just like shit, god damn it.

491
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: And I thought I was like a failure. And then

492
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: I wrote a sketch and I was like, oh, I

493
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: get it. I'm not supposed to do this.

494
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I can't do you know, fifty characters or less. I

495
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: can't do it. I need but you really.

496
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: Stretch out you can. That was your Twitter?

497
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 5: Oh well, remember I touched Twitter bullseye consistently and.

498
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you're a Twitter bullsye. Do you not remember?

499
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: I guess that I had to grow into it.

500
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, God I missed. We were talking about that

501
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: how much I missed Twitter.

502
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I was like, oh man, this is a

503
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: certain point. I was like, this is ruining my life.

504
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: But then I was also like there was there was

505
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 5: about five years where I had a lot of fun

506
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: on Twitter and I met a lot of people that

507
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 5: are still friends offline. Yeah, through that insane website. So

508
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: it's a bummer that got ruined.

509
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: It's such a bummer.

510
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: And I think for my way of how I value

511
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: other human beings, I need to know how you would

512
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: put like this topical joke of the day together where

513
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: it's like okay, now garbage whatever. Like it's that idea

514
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: of like I'm picking people. I value people based on

515
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 3: the creative originality or whatever, and I don't. I can't

516
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: do that anymore at any place. It's just like every

517
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 3: other To me, every other social media place is just

518
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: kind of a different it's a different game.

519
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 2: I don't get a man. You guys, I'm getting the

520
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: impression you're not hanging out on threads like me. Threads

521
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: is chill vibes. There's not too many people. It's like,

522
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, just you and a handful of others in

523
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: a waiting room at an assisted living center eating apple sall.

524
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 5: I have an influencer relative, who, I think it can

525
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 5: say vaguely was being paid to post on threads just

526
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 5: to be like, hey, we just need we need young

527
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 5: people using this platform.

528
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's so fun.

529
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of great, a great way to make money.

530
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: You have an influencer relative, I'll be vague about it.

531
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: It is my dad.

532
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

533
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 4: He's a metal keemprof. He's a guy who has a

534
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: lab coat with a Slayer logo on it.

535
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: He's going to teach these little rockers.

536
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 2: What is How long have you been doing the Doughboys podcast?

537
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 4: It amazingly hit ten years.

538
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 5: Hey, thank you. A decade of dreams. It was a

539
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 5: real decade of it's been a real I mean, it's

540
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: one of those things you pick that format, you pick

541
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 5: your podcast format, and you both know this early on,

542
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: and then you're just like, oh wait, I'm locked into

543
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 5: this four hundreds of episodes, right, And our format happened

544
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: to be like.

545
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: Oh, this will be fine. We'll try some different a

546
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: different fast food chain every week.

547
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 5: And then it became, you know, like a It quickly

548
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: quickly became a gilded cage because we were surprisingly making

549
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: good money off the show pretty early on, and we're like,

550
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: oh my, oh man, this thing we started for fun

551
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: to talk to my friend about KFC ended up being

552
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 5: an income source. But then now we're like tethered to

553
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 5: every week. We've got to punish our bodies with some

554
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: new garbage.

555
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're an EKG machine. Surrounded by men and lab

556
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: coats because you're killing or something right.

557
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Right, what's your favorite fast food you've had lately or

558
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: in the last year.

559
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: Great question. I'm like, I'm a huge fan of Popeyes

560
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 5: in general. I think Popeyes is doing good work.

561
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: I really.

562
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: We're just in Chicago, and one thing, one thing that

563
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: is nice about the format is when we tour, we

564
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 5: can go to these regional chains that we couldn't otherwise cover.

565
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: And so we're in Chicago and we went to Small Chaval,

566
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 5: which I've never had, which was a good, like kind

567
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 5: of upscale burger chain, but then also Red Hot Ranch,

568
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: which I loved, which is like a cash only kind

569
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 5: of divy place that reminded me of like Tommy's Burgers

570
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 5: out here, just kind of like a trashy burger chain.

571
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 5: But it was it was delicious. It was so yummy,

572
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: And that's the kind of stuff I love. I love

573
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: going I love trying a new thing and being like, oh,

574
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: I get why the locals are really into this.

575
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

576
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: I've seen commercials almost in every state I've lived, including here,

577
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 2: but never been to. But we're seeing a sonic Americans.

578
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 4: Sonic's great.

579
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: Where are they there are some in the boy if

580
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: you go into East LA, there's some over there. Closest one, Yeah,

581
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 5: I think Monrovia is maybe the closest location.

582
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: We I think Yeah with Ever Maynard, Okay, whenever was on.

583
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: We were going down this one street in Glendale and

584
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: I just kept going for so long.

585
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: Remember that. And then we went to a sonic.

586
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: We were trying to try a sonic and it took

587
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: forever to get there, was like a two hour episode.

588
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: Whatever I got was so so sweet. Yeah, Okay, now

589
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: I do remember.

590
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: It was like a slushy thing. Probably.

591
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I love their use of improv actors in

592
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: their advertising me too.

593
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: Those are fun.

594
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: My hometown got a sonic when I was like a

595
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: sophomore in high school, very early, and it was so

596
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: exciting and so crazy, and it was like and we're

597
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: all going to pull in and it's like the fifties and.

598
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they roller skate delivery I think so. I don't

599
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: think that's called delivery people.

600
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: But I don't think so either.

601
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: Food givers, wait stuff, weight staff. Where's my alarm bell

602
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: for correctness? Yeah, that's what I like the idea of

603
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: it being a drive through where they put a tray

604
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: on your window.

605
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: Where did you grow up? Where you get to be

606
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: a sonic early.

607
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: Adoptor pedlima northern California.

608
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 4: Or in California? Okay?

609
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: And then and fair is there like a Montana chain

610
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: at all? Is there anything unique to Sky Country?

611
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Uh? I don't want to say cracker be. I don't know.

612
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But it's almost in a way that, Uh,

613
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: it's good. We don't have a lot of chains in general.

614
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: It's a lot of independently owned even in my hometown.

615
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: Like it's it's hard to even find a Starbucks or whatever,

616
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: which that.

617
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: Sounds refreshing, any independent place that people love, Like that's

618
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: the local favorite.

619

Speaker 2: Where I lived. Yeah, ninety three stop and Go, that's

Speaker 2: fiesta and every item was thirty nine cents, so you

629
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: could do the baller move during lunch in high school,

630
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: where you go, I'll have the entire fiesta menu because

631
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: it was like seven items and you had a couple

632
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: of bucks on you and everyone's like whoa and they

633
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: lower their sunglasses.

634
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: As cool as hell.

635
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty cool, pretty cool, pretty cool.

636
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: They're like, congratulations on your diarrhea.

637
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 5: Was your first exposure to a Mexican food of some

638
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 5: kind through Taco Bell?

639
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: Oh for sure?

640
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: Wow?

641
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 6: Yeah there, yes, it's it's it's hard still to this

642
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 6: day to get authentic Mexican food and there's a couple

643
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 6: of places, but yeah, it took us a while.

644
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 2: We just got feta cheese there. Wow. Yeah, it comes home.

645
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: It all comes late, everything goes.

646
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: Where did you grow up?

647
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 5: I'm a I've lived in La County my entire life,

648
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 5: so I've never left. So yeah, I mean, I grew

649
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: up with great Mexican food and it's what I'm accustomed to,

650
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 5: and it was a I think it's more of a

651
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: national cuisine now it's closer to Italian food than it

652
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 5: used to be. But it was definitely a learning experience

653
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 5: where to have friends who were like I moved out

654
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 5: here from the East Coast, and they'd be like, oh, yeah,

655
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: we didn't have Mexican food growing up.

656
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

657
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: When I worked in Manhattan and I can't it's like

658
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: twenty eleven maybe or whatever. It wasn't a crazy long

659
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 3: time ago, and there was nowhere. And then I remember

660
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: one day my friend being like, Hey, meet me at

661
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: this Mexican restaurant and the food was the weirdest. I

662
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: was just like, I don't know what this is, but

663
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry this like, yes you have black beans, Yes

664
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: you have this weird salsa. Everything else is totally unrecognizable,

665
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: Like wow, it was the weirdest thing. And it's like,

666
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: oh yeah, there's not enough Mexican people here to be

667
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: like purveying the food correctly.

668
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

669
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 2: Right, it seems the story with Montana. Yeah there was

670
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: Mexican restaurants, but I did not know it wasn't the

671
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: real thing until I moved to Texas and started doing

672
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: stand up there and media within a year gained fifteen

673
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: pounds because I was just drinking bowls of queso.

674
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: So good.

675
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you prefer the text mex to like what

676
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 5: you can get in on the West Coast?

677
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 4: No, Okay, no.

678
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: I because I could see it was it was. There

679
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: was a tingling and swelling in my ankles like it

680
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: was too much. I was and and everyone was smoking

681
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: and drinking. I was living like it was amazing, how

682
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: unhealthy eyes there, And but that case is so good

683
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: it is. And I'd have a bowl right now. I

684
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't even need chips, punch it with my fist and

685
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: put that fist in my mouth. I really oh boy, okay, im,

686
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: I'd have some tonight. But yeah, so good.

687
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 4: Did y'all ever smoke cigarettes?

688
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 6: Oh?

689
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, me too, and I like I have, I've

690
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 5: lately had nostalgia for it.

691
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 4: I've lately had like, man, smoking was cool.

692
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's you know, one of the byproducts of

693
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: the world being a hard place. Right, we all want

694
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: to smoke again? And music's getting good?

695
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

696
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: Are you? Did you smoke when we were locked in

697
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: around together?

698
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: I'd quit smoking by then.

699
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 5: I was smoking when I was younger, and for a

700
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 5: fairly brief like just a couple of years. I pretty

701
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 5: you know, my brother's five years older than me, and

702
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 5: he'd quit smoking, and I kind of just took my

703
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 5: cue from him, and I was like, right, it wasn't

704
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 5: It wasn't enough of an.

705
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: Addiction where it was all that difficult for me to

706
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: kick the habit.

707
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 5: But I did, like, especially in before the ubiquity of smartphones,

708
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 5: just like having and honestly even now with that, it's

709
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 5: like it feels like a better thing to do is

710
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 5: having a cigarette with someone and having a conversation as

711
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 5: opposed to looking at both.

712
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 4: Of you checking your phones and silence.

713
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 5: Right, But like I used to love just like talking

714
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 5: to people, just chopping it up with people outside on

715
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 5: a smoke break.

716
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 3: Yes, the smoking patio has all the champions, like that

717
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: is the place to be meeting new people.

718
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: And as someone that didn't quite diagnose it or know why,

719
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: sometimes at a social function, I just have to get

720
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: the fuck out for five minutes. And that's what cigarettes

721
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: gave you the right to leave a room, even at work,

722
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: like hel Rudnick and I would, I'd steal his cigarettes

723
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: and that's kind of after that, I think I smoked

724
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 2: a little and then and then stopped. Yeah, it was,

725
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: but I grew up around chewing tobacco and all like

726
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: as a joke, we would get pouches of chewing tobacco

727
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: on road trips and thought, well, this is hilarious and

728
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: you're immediately addicted to it. It's the most dangerous thing.

729
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: And it started with Big League chew, the shredded bubble

730
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: gum when I was a kid. I swear that is

731
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 2: they talk about vaping now, but disguising a gum as

732
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: a tobacco product. And I was in Little league and

733
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: I would put it in my lip like I was

734
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: really chewing, and it was that would have I'm right

735
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 2: now in the moment realizing that's what started it.

736
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 4: It definitely doctrinate.

737
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 5: It definitely indoctrinated us all to want to have chaw

738
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: because it's also it just gets as oh, like a

739
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 5: major leaguer, that's awesome.

740
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 4: That will this will make me a grown up.

741
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm getting practiced, but potentially I'll get the

742
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,959
Speaker 5: real thing, and.

743
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: The real thing is so much more disgusting.

744
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 3: Yes, beautiful bubble gum, which actually the Big League chew

745
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: gum was very nice gum, as opposed to say, your

746
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: fruit stripe, which was always immediately like weird mealy in

747
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 3: your mouth. Yeah.

748
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: Big Lead chow was like those soft long strips. I

749
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: really loved.

750
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: Textually, it was fun, very satisfying, and then the first

751
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 3: time my next door neighbor, Andy Winnington, made me put

752
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: skull in my lip, I thought I was never gonna

753
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: stop throwing up. It was the most awful experience of

754
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 3: all time.

755
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I vividly remember the first time I put

756
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 2: it in my lip. Yeah, a camping trip. Police came

757
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: to give people uh illegal possession uh IP tickets, underage

758
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 2: drinking tickets, and I climbed a tree and I was

759
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: hiding still in the tree and someone had given me

760
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: a can and I put it in my lip as

761
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: I was hiding from the law and there was a

762
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 2: dangerous aspect to I felt like a true cowboy.

763
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.

764
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: And then they came back and we were out in

765
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: the lake and they shined the flashlight out on the

766
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: lake and we went and soak our heads down like

767
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: a terminator or something.

768
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 4: Didn't work.

769
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: It did work. They didn't catch me. They're fools, Yeah, no,

770
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: they Yeah, it was it was great. It was great.

771
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: I uh, I didn't get in trouble that week.

772
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 5: That's like a thing that would arouse it like trick,

773
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 5: like a metal gear, solid guard, Like it's just like

774
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 5: you know, all of a sudden, your all your stealth

775
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 5: levels reset because you disappeared off the radar for one second. Yeah,

776
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: it doesn't feel like it would work in real life.

777
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 2: Yeah it did. Everyone got tickets, but but me. At

778
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: one point I yelled from my car, be quiet over there.

779
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: My kids are trying to sleep, and they're like, sorry, sir,

780
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 2: And they didn't know I had another high school kid,

781
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 2: even though there's a public enemy sticker on the back

782
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: of my w Ford escort wagon.

783
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: That's brilliant.

784
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really, I had trouble in high school.

785
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: I felt like socially, and then that last celebration of

786
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: us all graduating, everyone camping, I won everyone over at

787
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: the last minute with my with my marines, likability from

788
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: hot to hide. Yeah really?

789
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: And after that you always carry to read around with

790
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: you that you could breathe through when flinting into.

791
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 2: Style in a pickle. You can grab some cat some

792
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 2: cat grass. It's hollow.

793
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 5: Those are I haven't thought about that for a while,

794
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 5: But those moments when you suddenly command the respect of

795
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 5: someone who is semi bullying you before and thinks of

796
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 5: its change in the aftermath, there's just kind of like, okay,

797
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: are those are?

798
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: I guess formative experiences.

799
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: Especially since most of the other males in my high

800
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: school graduating class did go to the Marines and wow,

801
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: sniper's missing fingers and stuff. Geez yeah, and so to

802
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: remember I could have gone down a different path. Luckily,

803
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: my dad was like, you're going to art school, and

804
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: I was like.

805
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, if you insist.

806
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 2: Karen, have you ever seen Nick's video where he does

807
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: a cover a version of the Monster Mash but it's

808
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: describing all the monsters having an orgy. No, it was

809
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: a monster fuck and the Dracula was sucking on Frankenstein's

810
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: I had never even seen you swear. Yeah, you're like

811
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: a pretty clean and so you sing and singing the

812
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: song and was that a funnier dye thing?

813
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 5: Well, so yeah, it was a bit I did on stage,

814
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 5: and I was just like, okay, what's the like.

815
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 4: I just was thinking of the whole thing. Is I

816
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 4: like going in as like kind of.

817
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 5: A low status old man who was like, I wrote

818
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 5: the Monster Match, but they changed my lyrics. I wanted

819
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 5: to share my original version with you, this kind of

820
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 5: the way it was originally set up, and then it

821
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 5: would be like this this just the most obscene thing

822
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 5: that you could possibly imagine just viscerally describing this bacchanal

823
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 5: between a bunch of different famous monsters. And so I

824
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 5: did this and I was like I was, but I'm

825
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 5: also like, this is so fucking stupid. This is like

826
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 5: a thing I'll do like a midnight UCB show and

827
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 5: the thing is it like it killed.

828
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 4: And I was like, Okay, I guess I'll do this again.

829
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 5: And I did it as Ackerman had me do it

830
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 5: at Comedy Death Ray Comedy and maybe it was coming

831
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 5: Bang Bang at the time.

832
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 4: I think it was Comedy Death Ray.

833
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 5: Still, yes, and it like killed there, and then he

834
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 5: had me do it on the podcast and everyone's like,

835
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 5: we love this, and it's a kind of everything, like

836
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 5: God bless everyone who's a fan of anything you do.

837
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 5: But there are moments where I'm like you, like, this

838
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 5: is right, this is what you want for me. This

839
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 5: is my legacy. This second disgusting, dumb song you scum back.

840
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: And the wolf Man's chewed on, Frankenstein's dead.

841
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all that level of stuff. It was.

842
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 5: There's the and I did this purposefully, but it's like

843
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 5: the like it's not monster matches the monster fuck they

844
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 5: did the fuck it was the monster.

845
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 4: Fuck the monster. Fuck it was a graveyard.

846
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 5: Fuck, so right fuck right, fuck with fuck And it's

847
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 5: like that's you know that's bad and I know that's bad.

848
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 4: But then we were like we love this.

849
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, anyway, so I've been doing

850
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 5: that on There was funnier that I did make it?

851
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 5: Did I guess commission a video that Justin Donaldson directed.

852
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay where it was like a music video

853
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 5: version of that, and that gets circulated still to still

854
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 5: to this day, even though it was like fifteen years old.

855
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 5: And then also on comedy Bang Bang, I've continued to

856
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 5: be brought back year after year or two, and the

857
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 5: bit I do now is just always like I've got

858
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 5: a new version of the song and then do the

859
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 5: exactly same song every year.

860
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: Oh that's so great, really dumb.

861
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 2: No, it was the the way I knew you from

862
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 2: the office. It's like finding now late at night you

863
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: were an exotic dance We're writing.

864
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 5: For like a TV fourteen show, you know what I mean.

865
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 5: So it's like it was it was a completely different world.

866
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know.

867
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 5: I mean, it's something I'm someone who likes going blue necessarily,

868
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 5: but you do find yourselves going that situation, going their situationally, right.

869
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you probably are privy to the fact that

870
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 2: you don't seem like a dirty, dirty boy.

871
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

872
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: Oh that's so funny.

873
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: I also love the fact that you're you have to

874
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 3: sing that whole song. So not only are you doing

875
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: all those things, but you, like having done some comedy music,

876
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: You're just in it for three minutes, no matter how

877
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: you feel about it. It's not just quick references and

878
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: you can do whatever else. So you want your like

879
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 3: start it middle, beginning, middle end, do the entire thing,

880
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: do all the choruses, like you have to do the

881
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 3: whole song.

882
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 5: There's not a way to like audible midway through. If

883
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 5: something's going arise, I'm committed to this, got to yep.

884
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot that you were rhyming the word fuck

885
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: just over and over again. That was the best part.

886
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 2: That's great. Are do you still on the podcast? Go oh,

887
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: look some kids that used to be alive and now

888
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: they're bronze. Wow. Yep, it's happening all around us and

889
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: no one's talking about this. There is a that maybe

890
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: I don't know of on the podcast. You still try

891
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: out different fast foods we do.

892
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 4: We have not changed formats. I think it's about time.

893
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 5: You know, we're we're Mitch and I are are dealing

894
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 5: with middle age and we both had some not fully

895
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 5: related to the podcast, but it's not helping health issues

896
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: in recent years, and we're like, we've got to we

897
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 5: gotta do something. We can't be consuming eighteen hundred calories

898
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: for content twice a week, and so I think we're

899
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: going to try to streamline things a little bit. One

900
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 5: thing that we can often mine is there's all these ltos,

901
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 5: these limited time offerings from fast food restaurants. A lot

902
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 5: of times their topical tie in like the new Avatar

903
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: burger with a blue bond or whatever the.

904
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 4: Fuckers, So is that real there?

905
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 5: They did make that in Australia, but like that stuff

906
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 5: happens all the time. And so I think if we

907
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 5: like were like, hey, this week, we're going to try

908
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 5: the new how to Train your Dragon meal from Burger

909
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 5: King and we're just gonna have that, We're not going

910
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 5: to do a comprehensive covering of of Burger King at large.

911
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 4: I think that might be a little bit more manageable.

912
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: But it's so funny when you say that, because I

913
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 2: just envisioned an animated moment where two avatars find their

914
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: braid together and then they both simultaneously have diarrhea. There

915
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: is a new uh it's apparently famous based in Mexico,

916
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: so that open at the bottom of my street. They

917
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 2: just make churros, but it is fames. It looked like

918
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: they were opening an apple store, so it's not technically

919
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: a chain.

920
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: But uh, I think that's money laundering.

921
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 4: What wow?

922
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe I don't think kidding. Oh, I thought so.

923
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, there's no way people are going to care

924
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: about just Churros' very specific. There is a line. I

925
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: don't understand some of these lines. There's a line for

926
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: some appreciation for photo booths the other day that went

927
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 2: people waiting kids to take a photo in a photo

928
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: booth for hours. Yeah, sleeping for a Star Wars movie.

929
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: I've never gotten it. But this line for turos goes

930
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: past my place around hours. They're waiting hours, but during

931
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: the day it's just crowded and people are freaking out

932
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: about them. I need someone to go. I'd like for

933
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: you to go to this turo place take requests. Yes,

934
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: that's probably not part of your podcast, But I I

935
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 2: haven't gotten.

936
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 4: You're looking for an excuse to get to wait to

937
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 4: queue up for a churo.

938
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: I need you guys to go, need.

939
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 4: Some sort of motivation. Okay, got it.

940
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: Six flags won't work for if you were out of ideas,

941
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: you didn't want to wait for an avatar special at

942
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: a place You've already talked about, this churo place that

943
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm forgetting the name of.

944
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 5: No, but this is like especially it has a presence

945
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 5: in Mexico because there's sometimes some of the most interesting

946
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 5: changs to cover. Years ago, we did mister Pizza Pizza

947
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 5: for Women, which is a South Korean pizza chain that

948
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 5: has one outlet in a Korea town.

949
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 4: What is it called again, Mister Pizza Pizza for women.

950
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 5: Pizza for women is the tagline, but I guess the

951
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 5: idea is that like a woman's ideal man of.

952
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 4: Course, would be mister Pizza.

953
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: Oh yes, mister Pizza.

954
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah wow.

955
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 3: Mister Pizza Pizza for Women is the best title of

956
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 3: anything I've ever heard.

957
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 4: Pretty good was the pizza. It was not bad. The

958
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 4: thing is there, you just have to end.

959
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 5: We try to be, you know, delicate in terms of

960
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 5: describing these things because palettes are all relative to your

961
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 5: culture or whatever. But but there are just flavor combinations

962
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 5: we weren't accustomed to. So like sweet shrimp and corn

963
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 5: on a pizza with mazzarella cheese was just like, hey,

964
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 5: maybe you like that if you've grown up with it,

965
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 5: but us it tastes bizarre. Yeah, and so, but like that,

966
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 5: or like Jolly b now has a pretty big US presence.

967
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 4: I love Jolly Be, the Filipino chain.

968
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've driven by them. I like their logo.

969
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 5: I hear it's really good the Great Fried Chicken and

970
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 5: they also have spaghetti.

971
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 4: Where else can you get that combo?

972
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 3: Wow as a grammar school cafeteria.

973
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 4: But pretty much Yeah.

974
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 5: And then there's so the the biggest chain in the

975
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 5: world now is I believe it's pronounced mix Away, but

976
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 5: I could be wrong, But it's now a Chinese chain

977
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 5: that is only like a decade old that just blossomed

978
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 5: and maybe probably with some government support, and just completely

979
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 5: blanketed all of Asia and now has its first door

980
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 5: in North America in La And when they make they

981
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 5: are like a Boba t slash ice cream place.

982
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 4: But they're bigger than McDonald's and Starbucks.

983
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 2: Now, Holy shit, and they have a line.

984
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 4: They have a line. Yeah, I'm just I just.

985
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: That's the reason I bring it up. It's just the

986
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: people wanting to eat something so bad that they're willing

987
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 2: to wait several hours in a line.

988
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: I think.

989
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 3: Isn't it that just the tiktokification of things like that,

990
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: where it's like people want to be where other people

991
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 3: already are, or like they want to be in this scene.

992
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's why weekly I go take selfie's

993
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 2: in front of the pink angel wing wall. It's kind

994
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: of like that.

995
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, this sounds insane in hindsight, but I remember queuing

996
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 5: up when the first shake Shack in La opened in

997
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 5: West Hollywood. I remember queuing up for close to an

998
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 5: hour for a shake Shack burger out here, even though

999
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 5: it had in New York.

1000
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 3: But in New York they talked about Shakeshack like God

1001
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: made it him with his own hands. It's like, I

1002
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 3: will never forget that people talking about that, and people

1003
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 3: in New York waiting in line, and there was this

1004
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: was very early days, so it was like they had

1005
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 3: a website where there was a webcam on the line

1006
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: so you could decide when you wanted to go wait

1007
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 3: in line if it was like long or short.

1008
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: Oh, like a queue, yeah, que a queue a que

1009
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: but a line queve. Sorry they're the wording. Oh god,

1010
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: I just dive out the window. There was a day

1011
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: hal Rednick made us. I guess it wasn't that long ago,

1012
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: but there was not chick fil As in La yet,

1013
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: and we drove all the way out to Chatsworth or something.

1014
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: Do you remember that, Nick.

1015
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know if I was there with

1016
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 4: that trip, but I do remember the outing.

1017
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 2: I think it was a Nick and Jordan and I

1018
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: the only writer's moment in time. Anyway, I didn't I

1019
00:49:54,719 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: understand they have an offensive number twenty different sauces. Do

1020
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 2: people come for all these sauces because I am a

1021
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: condiment person?

1022
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1023
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: Sure, but I didn't. I don't. I didn't get it.

1024
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 2: It was a long ride.

1025
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 5: They do have some, yeah, And I mean I remember

1026
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 5: doing that when Krispy Kreme came to LA for the

1027
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 5: first time.

1028
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 4: That was again going away out of the way to

1029
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 4: try that.

1030
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 5: Yes, so it's I mean, I get the novelty of it,

1031
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 5: but very often with those regional change you're like like,

1032
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 5: this is it? And and so I understand the muted

1033
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 5: reaction when people come to southern.

1034
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 4: California and have in an out Burger for the first time.

1035
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,359

1036
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 5: are crazy about, because it's just hard to compete with a.

1037
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 4: Memory of a bite, you know what I mean?

1038
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,560

00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 5: strongly breaked into my brain chemistry.
