00:00:08 Speaker 1: And I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no guests, your. 00:00:28 Speaker 2: Presences, presents, And I already had too much stuff, So how do you dare to surbey me? 00:00:48 Speaker 3: Welcome to, I said, no gifts. I'm Pritchard Wineker. We're in the backyard. The podcast is humming along already. Everything is wonderful on a Leasa's here. I'm here. I did open the mailbox earlier, and I had received a thank you note for something I did three years ago. Am I in danger? It's hard to say. The thank you note was from a real estate agent, which adds a whole other layer of fear. We're going to have to just watch how all of this develops. We'll keep our eye on it and just you know, we'll have to wait and see. Let's but let's put the worries aside. Let's put our concerns aside for God's sake, Let's get into the podcast. Everybody loves today's guest. I love today's guest. It's Drew carry True. Welcome to, I said, don't gifts. 00:01:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, nice to be here. Just as I imagine it's people backcurate. 00:01:45 Speaker 3: We've got some sort of helicopter. I'm looking at it now. The birds are church mostly coming out of this house. You know. I've got several things I'm operating. 00:01:56 Speaker 4: We're actually here at night, and there's a spotlightinding spotlight. 00:02:03 Speaker 3: I mean, first off, I really I do want to talk to you about something. You recently bought me dinner? Oh where'd you go to Bob's or I Swingers? 00:02:11 Speaker 4: Oh good, that's my spot too. 00:02:13 Speaker 3: I love Swingers. 00:02:14 Speaker 4: It used to be Bob's when I worked at Warner Brothers. 00:02:16 Speaker 3: Now that makes sense. 00:02:17 Speaker 4: Now it's Swingers because. 00:02:18 Speaker 3: Of you're at Television City. 00:02:20 Speaker 4: Yeah, well not anymore, but oh right, right, just moved. I got to find a new place. 00:02:25 Speaker 3: Swingers is terrific, and I should explain to the listener. I'm a television writer. We know this, but we're on strike, and you so lovingly are paying for writers dinners and meals at these two terrific diners. 00:02:38 Speaker 4: Yeah. I wish I would have thought it through. 00:02:40 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very curious. I'm like, I really do want to know the logistics of this situation. 00:02:46 Speaker 4: Because the last time it was like fifteen years ago, and uh I was I just kind of started at prices, right, and I think I was still in the guild at the time. Okay, so I was like, well, I can't walk the picket line, so I'm working, right, and I have to kind of come into work all the time. So I felt bad, sure, and I thought the only thing I can really do to make up for it is might buy them lunch, right right, picked Bobs and Swingers because those are my two spots, and uh, you know, it got around a little bit and people were nice about it, and then this time I thought, well, I should do the same thing, because if I don't, then I'm like a I don't know, a creep that doesn't follow through or something. I felt like social pressure to do it again, and it got on the news and spread all over Twitter. Twitter wasn't that big back then. 00:03:39 Speaker 3: So about one hundred people on Twitter at that point. 00:03:42 Speaker 4: And man, it's costing me an arm and are like, but uh, well, I should. 00:03:46 Speaker 3: Say I'm eating their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm going constantly, I've had about fifty meals on you. 00:03:52 Speaker 4: You should what did you get at Swingers? 00:03:55 Speaker 3: This is my typical order at Swingers. I get a stuffed grilled cheese without onions and tortilla soup. Oh those are great, incredible, Yeah, dipping the sandwich in the soup. Yeah, wonderful. 00:04:05 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really good diner. 00:04:06 Speaker 3: It's a terrific diner. It's got a great vibe. Everyone there's so sweet. 00:04:10 Speaker 4: Yeah, the service is great. Servers are great there. 00:04:12 Speaker 3: It's a good family and it's just like a slight twist on a diner. Yeah yeah, yeah, what's your order there? 00:04:18 Speaker 4: In the morning, I get steak and eggs or waveless wrint cheros delicious and my two gots in the morning. At night I'll get a club sandwich, usually turkey club sandwich or burger tuna melts are great. I don't thin get those once in a while because there're so many calories. 00:04:36 Speaker 3: Right right in those club sandwich. I mean, that's can't go wrong. You cannot go wrong. I mean, even at a horrible place, a club sandwich is usually decent. Yeah. 00:04:45 Speaker 4: That's a good save, right. 00:04:47 Speaker 3: Yeah, are with a club sandwich? Do you like the piece of bread in the middle or do you like when they don't do the piece of bread in the middle. 00:04:55 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. 00:04:55 Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, I think I've recently taken a turn where the piece of bread in the middle is no longer for me, I need that. I feel like it's now too much. 00:05:04 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a little bit too much. 00:05:06 Speaker 3: Yeah, or it gets in the way of the things I'm actually liking in the sandwich. 00:05:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, that bacon has to be crisp. 00:05:11 Speaker 3: Yes. 00:05:12 Speaker 4: Yeah. If it's not that ruins it, right, And so does the lettuce. 00:05:16 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you don't want anything soggy, because I mean, there are a lot of kind of mildly wet ingredients in the sandwich. 00:05:22 Speaker 4: Crunchy toast, crunchy bacon, crunchy lettuce, nice soft. 00:05:26 Speaker 3: Turkey whatever, Yeah, whatever texture you want turkey to be. 00:05:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great. Yeah. 00:05:32 Speaker 3: Are you a big diner person in general? 00:05:34 Speaker 4: Always been a diner person. I used to work at a Denny's. That was one of my earlier jobs. 00:05:39 Speaker 3: Were you a waiter at Denny's or what we started out? 00:05:41 Speaker 4: It was on the Las Vegas Strip and it's no longer there. That was my first Denny's job. Wow. Between the Westward Ho which is no longer there, and Circus Circus, which is barely there. 00:05:50 Speaker 3: Oh, that thing's barely hanging out. 00:05:54 Speaker 4: Man if you want to go for an adventure in Vegas, go to Circus Circus man and just with a coupon book thing. 00:06:02 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a miracle. It's really a miracle at this point, I think we can categorize it as a miracle. 00:06:07 Speaker 4: You know, the real estate there is so expensive. They're probably just every once in a while at La too, you see like a property and you're like, why are they there? Oh, yeah, what's the point of that? 00:06:16 Speaker 3: How are they It's always like maybe they've just got some sort of rent locked in or you forget, Yeah. 00:06:22 Speaker 4: It's the real estate. You just like, somebody owns it and they're like the real estates so valuable they don't want to sell. But the property is no good, so who wants to buy it? And then you have this, you know, I'll like somebodys have to buy that and tear it down. It's like it's going to be a big deal. So yeah, Circus Circus is hanging out. But there was a Denny's there, and I started out as a host, and it's just seeing people. I work third shift. Wow, eleven to seven. 00:06:50 Speaker 3: How long were you working at Denny's. 00:06:52 Speaker 4: I never really had a job for more than a year or so before it was a comic. Okay, you know, I would work at a place for If I worked there a year, it was like, wow. 00:07:04 Speaker 3: That's a career, like a part time as job. 00:07:06 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had a lot of those waiting tables and stuff. I don't know if you haven't here. 00:07:11 Speaker 3: Speaking my language. Yeah, I think before I was twenty five, I truly had twenty four jobs. Yeah, yeah, mounted you know, and it's easy. 00:07:18 Speaker 4: I got a job in Cleveland once as a bus boy so I could make a car payment. 00:07:23 Speaker 3: Oh wow. 00:07:24 Speaker 4: And I worked there for two weeks, got my check, made my payment, and I quit. And the guy was at a it was called Kenny Kings. They sold Kentucky Fried chicken, but in a diner. They had a license to sell the Kentucky Fight. So there was a Kentucky Fright chicket fascinating next Yeah, there was like five of them in Cleveland area. And when the colonel was first selling his chicken, he just was trying to find places that would sell it. So this restaurant chain got the rights to sell Kentucky Fried chicken. So there was a regular Kentucky Fried Chicken next door to all of them. That you could go in and get a box or a bucket. And then there was the diner where could get you know, eggs and stuff in the morning regular and then in the afternoon you could get a three piece with mashed potatoes and a cup of coffee and then a piece of pie after and sit down in a booth. 00:08:08 Speaker 3: This was like the original Ghost Kitchen sort of. 00:08:12 Speaker 4: Yeah. That was great. And when we would get ordered chicken, and nobody ever in my family or in Cleveland ever said let's get some KFC. They would say, you want to get some Kenny Kings? 00:08:22 Speaker 3: Wow? 00:08:22 Speaker 4: And it was Kenny King's bucket. I never knew about. I mean, I knew it was Kentucky write chicken, but I thought that was the style of chicken they sold. And it was just all Kenny Kings to me growing up. 00:08:32 Speaker 3: Wow. 00:08:32 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not around anymore, but the Kenny Kings was great. 00:08:35 Speaker 3: Wow. KFC in a classy environment, yeah, yeah, environment. 00:08:42 Speaker 4: You know. I went to speaking of kid this is interesting. I went to Trinidad and Tobago. Want's to ever been there? 00:08:47 Speaker 3: No, I haven't been. It's great. 00:08:49 Speaker 4: I highly recommend it, especially around carnival seasons. So I was down there for Carnival, and I went down there to see a US men's soccer game. They were playing Trinidad, and it just happened to be. 00:08:59 Speaker 3: Carnival going okay, sure, Sure. 00:09:01 Speaker 4: And the game was on Wednesday, and Fat Tuesday was Tuesday. So it's like a lot going on. And people would ask me, oh, down here for Carnival, and I go, now, I'm here for the game, and they go all right, and you know, I'm a I have an American Express card and they have a great travel department, okay, And I tried to get a great broker for tickets and stuff, and I tried to get tickets to this game and they said they weren't available. So American Express, you couldn't get a ticket broker to get your tickets to this men's team against Trinidad and Tobago World Cup qualifier and they said they were only available at Kentucky Fried Chicken Yeah. So KFC is so big down at Trinida and Tobago. Like the music, the popular music, there's called Soca Music SCA and they name drop it in their songs, and there's Kentucky Fried Chickens everywhere, like you don't hardly see a McDonald's. You don't hardly see any of that stuff, but you see millions of KFC. Like they love of KFC down there in Trinidad. It's really like an odd, how fast sort of thing like. And I was with my oldest brother and Wednesday, this is ash ash Wednesdays after Fat Tuesday. 00:10:11 Speaker 3: Don't ask me. I'm an ex Mormons, So oh well, no Catholic knowledge. 00:10:17 Speaker 4: Well, whatever the big day is after, yeah, I think it's actually makes sense after yeah, and so it's Wednesday was the game. So Wednesday, let's go get somebody to eat. And we walked to the KFC, which is right nearby, right kind of downtown T and T. And so you've been to plenty of KFC's. 00:10:35 Speaker 3: Probably, I've been to KFC's galore. 00:10:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, So what do you see? Three people in front of you? 00:10:39 Speaker 3: Sometimes, I mean that's a big number for AFC. That's like a riot. 00:10:44 Speaker 4: Usually there's somebody else there and they get you right away. The biggest wait is for the three piece to get done or then to box it up. Uh. There was a two lines out the door, that's wild out the door, and just a big big line down the block. And when I went there, the first time to get the tickets. Like, I got to the hotel, I said, I got to get tickets to the game, and I need a ride to the KFC. So I got a cab and stuff and I went to the KFC big line there and I had to wait, and I asked. I told the lady, I said, I want to get tickets to this game. Oh yeah, just a second. She brought out a seating chart. I got my tickets that I bought a three. 00:11:22 Speaker 3: Piece that is fascinating. 00:11:26 Speaker 4: It was really like the weirdest thing. And I thought it was like crazy, but there was a line. My brother and I were like laughing. We never saw anything like it. 00:11:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, if I saw a line coming out of a KFC in LA, I would be calling or something is happening. Something's very wrong in Los Angeles right now. 00:11:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was just a regular lunch hour there. 00:11:47 Speaker 3: Interesting. I need to get back to KFC. 00:11:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, go to TNT because they love it there fast culturally. 00:11:53 Speaker 3: Driving that maybe they were the first fast food place. 00:11:57 Speaker 4: They're in town long enough to find out needs to. 00:12:00 Speaker 3: Do like a nine part limited podcast series about KFC there. 00:12:05 Speaker 4: It sounds like it should be a vice documentary right exactly a half hour. Nothing. 00:12:10 Speaker 3: We're not doing an hour. 00:12:11 Speaker 4: We need a half hour of advice to go down there and really investigate the ins and outs of why. And they named dropping in the songs and everything was crazy. 00:12:18 Speaker 3: I think the last time I was at a KFC was actually in Malaysia. Weirdly, they're everywhere. Yeah, they really are. And let's be honest. I got very sick. I got you very sick from that KFC. So I'm warning the listener if you're in Malaysia, avoid KFST food poisoning. Oh yeah, horrifying food. 00:12:36 Speaker 4: Well, you know, people like you always think like McDonald's is everywhere, like that's the big thing in America. Oh, there's gonna be McDonald's everywhere. But it's really KFC. Like I've seen. I've been on USO trips to the Middle East and there's KFC's all over, like g Tar and Kuwait and all those places. 00:12:53 Speaker 3: KFC's everywhere. I think fried chicken is a more internationally loved product. Yeah, I mean they're like it feels like every country has their own spin on fried chicken. There's Korean fried chicken, you know, all sorts of things. Yeah, I mean, if I'm going to pick some sort of junk food, I would go fried chicken before I went Hamburger. So maybe that's why. 00:13:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're going to do it, and. 00:13:15 Speaker 3: Of course the kernel's so welcoming. We've got that big strange face with the little bolo tie. 00:13:21 Speaker 4: Yeah, I did. My one thing about KFC is it's so greasy. 00:13:24 Speaker 3: Unbelievably grease and oily because. 00:13:27 Speaker 4: He deep fried and then I don't know if they even shake the basket. 00:13:30 Speaker 3: They just dump it jumping in a bowl. It's just kind of swishing around in a bowl of grease. 00:13:35 Speaker 4: At least McDonald's shakes the fries or make it thing exact. 00:13:38 Speaker 3: I have the decency to shake the grease off my food before. 00:13:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I would the Kenny Kings. The guy said I was gonna, he goes, oh, you're quitting. I was, You're doing so well. I was going to promote you and make you a fried cook, and I was like, sorry, man, I just wanted to make a I was doing really well. It was a good bus boy. 00:13:54 Speaker 3: You would have been an incredible fry cook. You know how to shake the food. 00:13:58 Speaker 4: I already knew for my McDonald's days. 00:14:00 Speaker 3: I mean, I do think going back to that Denny's. I mean, I don't know if it was that Denny's, but one of my earliest childhood memories is eating out of Denny's in Las Vegas ordering the chicken strips. So there we go. It may have been the one on the strip. 00:14:12 Speaker 4: They still have them. 00:14:13 Speaker 3: They've still got strips mozrella sticks. 00:14:16 Speaker 4: They still have it. 00:14:16 Speaker 3: Are you have you? What is last time you were to Denny's. 00:14:19 Speaker 4: It wasn't that long. I was on a road trip. It wasn't like within the last six months or year. 00:14:25 Speaker 3: And how is Denny's holding up? I haven't been to an I go to diners pretty frequently, but. 00:14:30 Speaker 4: They're exactly the same. Nothing's changed. My go to is the chicken noodle soup, okay, because they always have it right right. When I was on my break at Denny's, it was easy to get sure. Sure I had a taste that I like. But this, it's like the it tastes like Denny's. Yeah, there's like an extra grill taste to the sandwiches there, like you can taste the grill almost. 00:14:53 Speaker 3: Notice that I have not noticed that, well, there is because they used the same Parlfer, and I'm like, all right, so you're like take kind of almost like the bacon on your ham sandwhich kind of Yeah. 00:15:04 Speaker 4: It's like it's there's like a smell to a Denny's. There's like a thing maybe because. 00:15:08 Speaker 3: I worked there, it's got i mean sense memories. 00:15:11 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and uh it just they're exactly the same. Nothing's changed, and I could see what everybody's doing. I'm like, uh, huh, I did that forty years ago, whatever long it was. I have to remember when you get I'm sixty five now and I just got my first senior discount. I was really bummed. 00:15:29 Speaker 3: Buck congratulations. Let's uh, let's put a pin in that. I want to know what that was for. 00:15:33 Speaker 4: There's I was in Seattle just like a two weekends ago for a soccer gamo. I own part of the Seattle Sounders. I'm a minority owner. And uh, they have an area by the Pike's Market that has like a ferris wheel, big giant ferris wheel, and they have a ride that's kind of like Sore in California, but it's about Washington State. So you go in and it's called Wings over Washington. OK. So it's just like sore in California. Huh, it's a terrific ride, great ride, and it's just the seats. You are a little more comfortable and you move up into this imax screen and it's all these great scenic places in Washington, say, there's like a ton of them, like river rafting and bike riding and ocean and right right, and they had I bought spine tickets and they offered a senior discount and I said how much. How old they have to be? She said sixty five? And I went, well, I just turned sixty five, and I got on my I d and she barely looked at it, gave me the discount, and I was like, well, I was kind of bummed out, but I was like, if you're gonna give me a discount, I'll take it, of course. I mean, it doesn't matter how much ticket for me, it doesn't matter how much money you make. 00:16:39 Speaker 3: No, if a discount is offered, take it, go for it. 00:16:44 Speaker 4: What don't I still put water in my shampoo to make it last. I don't know if you do that, but I'm sure everybody does. There's no way I'm giving proctering damn all an extra dime. 00:16:52 Speaker 3: No, no, no, No, I mean there're lots. To be honest, they're hurting. They couldn't. They can use every cent they can get. 00:16:58 Speaker 4: But you know, I fell so for my whole life, all my teenage years, in my twenties, I fell for lather, rinse, repeat, and I'm not gonna do it anymore. 00:17:08 Speaker 3: No, You've been scammed long enough. 00:17:10 Speaker 4: Scam long enough. 00:17:11 Speaker 3: No, I will even after buying the second thing of body wash or whatever, I leave the one that was basically empty and try to scrape every bit of the body washing out. Yeah, that thing will be there for months after it's basically used. 00:17:23 Speaker 4: Can I ask, so you're a body wash person. 00:17:25 Speaker 3: I'm a body wash person. Are you a bar of soap person? Yes? Still, why would you? 00:17:30 Speaker 4: Why would you? Body washes like seems wasteful to me? And you need like six seven squirts to get a good SuDS it seems same. 00:17:38 Speaker 3: I'm using one I have the what is and what I recently learned The official name of the one I bought is a delicate Eco poof which is the little oh sponge thing. 00:17:47 Speaker 4: I use like a Japanese like the big like cloth that's kind of rough. 00:17:52 Speaker 3: Oh, does that have like a wooden handle or something. 00:17:54 Speaker 2: No. 00:17:54 Speaker 4: No, but it's like a sheet. 00:17:56 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not familiar with this. 00:17:58 Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget what they call them. But it's like a sheet because it's really good for your back. It's like this long, okay, but it's like rough, like a loofa on each side, and it's just like some material and it's great for your back and everything. 00:18:09 Speaker 3: I just use that, right, And is it like, is it. 00:18:13 Speaker 4: Like who wants a washcloths? Don't do it? 00:18:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, washcloth? Forget it. I mean I think we're all beyond a washing cloth. No, you just have a wet towel sitting in the shower. No, no, no, no, that doesn't work. I mean hotels occasionally you kind of have to do that because. 00:18:27 Speaker 4: We'll see this. One of the reason I'm interested in. I've been traveling a lot, and all the hotels now have body. 00:18:33 Speaker 3: Wash, right, all of them. Yes? 00:18:35 Speaker 4: And uh, first of all, I don't on my glasses. I have a glaucoma in my left eye and it's I have reading glasses in my pocket all the time, so when I get in the shower, I can't even see. 00:18:45 Speaker 3: Oh. 00:18:45 Speaker 4: Sure they're not clearly mark shampoo conditioned or body wash. I'm like feeling around or I have to go outside of the shower and look, and then I have to get like five squirts whatever. Cheap ass. 00:18:55 Speaker 3: Those are very wasteful at a hotel because you don't have the thing to pump it into. You're just it's your hands. Yeah, the washcloth, but I don't. I never remember to bring the washcloth into the shower with me, so I'm just spring body wash all over the shower. 00:19:10 Speaker 4: Oh and you just got to hand it. Yeah, you're like you're in high school gym class. 00:19:15 Speaker 3: Exactly horrifying image. I mean, let's be very clear, there was no way I was getting naked in a shower in high school gym class. Avoided it at all costs. 00:19:26 Speaker 4: Oh, I just yeah, you just go in there and yeah, take it. 00:19:30 Speaker 3: I was absolutely horrified to show my body to anyone. Uh, for decades. 00:19:34 Speaker 4: I'm like that Now I wasn't I retreated? Yeah? Now, like if I was in camp, I'd be the kid like dressing under the bed, under my sheets. 00:19:44 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I'm now going to uh the Korean Spa, we spaw and naked. Yeah, everybody's completely naked. It's it's just like if you had clothes on, people would be looking at. 00:19:54 Speaker 4: You, right, they look at you weird. 00:19:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like if you don't want people to look at you, go in naked. 00:19:59 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:20:00 Speaker 3: But it took me a long time before I was mildly comfortable taking my shirt off in front of out their people. 00:20:05 Speaker 4: Oh, I can't forget it. Forget it for our international listeners or anybody else in audience. See Korean spas in La are famously great. They're incredible, Like you get the best massage for the least amount of money, so affordable. Yeah, and it's just like they really like go all out it'. Yes, it's kind of indescribable. It's forget going to a spa anywhere else. Why would you you get like the full it's amazing. 00:20:35 Speaker 3: Do you have a preferred one or is it any No? 00:20:38 Speaker 4: I did get massages when I'm traveling with a woman that comes to my house. 00:20:42 Speaker 3: If I beautiful, beautiful, you got to. 00:20:44 Speaker 4: Get the hook up with somebody to come in to your house. I don't think it's as good as the Korean spa though from what I heard. 00:20:49 Speaker 3: The Korean spa is great, and then it's the whole thing to me is better than going to Disneyland at this point, just getting to just go in and relax, sit in the weird play sauna thing. 00:21:00 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all that. So, speaking of Disneyland, sou were talking about fried chicken. Disneyland has the best fried chicken really ever. 00:21:09 Speaker 3: Where you get Is it at a specific place in Disneyland? 00:21:11 Speaker 4: Yes? Where the Plaza Inn? 00:21:14 Speaker 3: Okay, which is there kind of like. 00:21:16 Speaker 4: A cafeteria restaurant that's at the top of Main Street by Waltz Statue. Yes, right near the entrance of tomorrow Land. Right, there's a place called the Plaza Inn. You go there and you get a tray and it's like a cafeteria style. Then you get weight in line and order the fried chicken. 00:21:33 Speaker 3: Huh. 00:21:33 Speaker 4: And it's the best fried chicken. 00:21:35 Speaker 3: I had no idea. 00:21:36 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look on yelp. It's like four stars plus. Yeah, it's a Waltz wife's recipe. 00:21:43 Speaker 3: I guess it's incredible. 00:21:44 Speaker 4: And man is it good with real mashed potatoes green beans. 00:21:49 Speaker 3: And that's great. Because of Disneyland, it's very hit or miss. You can end up with something that's psycho. Oh no, this is not good food. 00:21:56 Speaker 4: I'm a club thirty three. 00:21:57 Speaker 3: Members Oh, you're kidding. How long have you been member? 00:22:00 Speaker 4: Like twenty years? 00:22:01 Speaker 3: And what is that experience? Exactly? 00:22:04 Speaker 4: So there's a private club at Disneyland. Now, before California Adventure Disneyland, you couldn't You can't buy drinks or anything at Disneyland. But Club thirty three was a place that Walt made so you could go and get a drink, right, and there's a balcony to watch fireworks and stuff, and you can get a proper meal. It was like a fancy restaurant and it still is fancy ish. Sure it's not gonna win a Michelin Star. 00:22:30 Speaker 3: But it's great. 00:22:31 Speaker 4: But I also like the Napa Rose is a really good restaurant there too. That's by the Grand Californian. 00:22:37 Speaker 3: Okay, oh so that's a California Adventure. 00:22:39 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know they're so easy to get to go. Napa Rose is great if you can't if you're not a Club thirty three member. You get a proper nice dinner there with wine and everything, and then there's like a great steakhouse. There's all kinds of good places. 00:22:51 Speaker 3: Wow, Disneyland, you should host a Disneyland travel show. 00:22:54 Speaker 4: There's a one of my crew members on the prices right, him and his wife. He and his wife, He and his he and his wife. I just felt a wrap on my knuckles on on the wahu. He and his wife do a Disney blog and they go to Disney like four times a week. Whoa, And they have to spend like an hour or two there because they here's the latest rise, here's the latest food, Here's what's shutting down, Here's what's being built what And that's like half they're living is this Disney that's now. 00:23:26 Speaker 3: They're kind of prisoners to Disneyland kind of. But they love it, they must, of course, or at least on the surface they love it. 00:23:32 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're into it, you're into it. You know, you go there all the time. 00:23:35 Speaker 3: Some people are very passionate about amazing food there. 00:23:38 Speaker 4: You just have to know where to live, and especially in downtown Disney. There's somebody good. 00:23:42 Speaker 3: Oh sure, sure do you have a favorite ride at Disneyland? 00:23:45 Speaker 4: Soren is one of them. 00:23:46 Speaker 3: Incredible. 00:23:47 Speaker 4: And then I honestly I like the music act, like the rowing music acts. 00:23:51 Speaker 3: Oh I oh right right, you know the barbershop quartet. I love a. 00:23:54 Speaker 4: Barbershop look that goes around. I love that stuff. 00:23:57 Speaker 3: Where else are you going to see a barbershop quartet at this point? 00:24:00 Speaker 4: Not at a barbershop. 00:24:03 Speaker 3: Actually, you bring up a very good point. Were they originally singing in barbershops? 00:24:09 Speaker 1: Wow? 00:24:09 Speaker 3: This you've cracked something open in a big one. 00:24:12 Speaker 4: They're called barbershop quartets. They have to have something. 00:24:15 Speaker 3: I've always just like, just let that be a thing. I never even questioned why that would be called a barbershop quartet. Me neither imagine a group of men in the barbershop just singing. 00:24:27 Speaker 4: Arose, Yeah, like in a music Man. 00:24:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly. 00:24:32 Speaker 4: But in the in the movie they were a real famous the Buffalo Bills. That was a famous barbershop quarte. 00:24:38 Speaker 3: And then they were acting as the music Man barbershop quartet. 00:24:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, they were the school board. 00:24:43 Speaker 3: Oh right, My boyfriend was in The Music Man at the Kennedy Center and he was who is he something Squire's he was part of the barbershop quartet. Oh wow, the head of the school board or whatever. Interesting. Yeah, well, somebody needs to want his credentials. Speaking of another podcasts, somebody needs to do one about barbershop quartets. We've got to get to the bottom of a topic fascinating on Lisa's I feel like Onalisa is looking into it. Do you have some information on a Lise? 00:25:10 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's it refers more to the style of singing. I guess barbershop was a style of singing in the early twentieth century. 00:25:15 Speaker 3: It's like it's a acapella. 00:25:17 Speaker 5: But I guess it was a reference to nineteenth century barbershops in England and how they used to like have music playing for patrons. But I haven't quite found the connection between if there were actually people like doing four part harmonies a cappella at a barber shop, that's probably. 00:25:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, so interesting. 00:25:37 Speaker 4: If you would go to a barbershop, we'd be like a proper man, stay out right. You would get like a nice hot towel ship and a haircut. 00:25:44 Speaker 3: And like the hot towels. 00:25:45 Speaker 4: That was like a man going to the spot to the barbershop. 00:25:48 Speaker 3: You've got to go to an English barbershop. That's what they were talking about. 00:25:51 Speaker 4: The probably got the eighties and everything while they were sitting there. 00:25:55 Speaker 3: Okay, well we have to talk about something else. Sorry, Look, I know you all you want to talk about barbershop courts. 00:26:02 Speaker 4: Of the great things about this podcast is it so free flowing? And I hate like I used to hate going out, not hate, but you know, use the word you hated it. No, No, I didn't hate it. I don't hate anything. But when you go on like a late night talk show, there's a guy that calls the person that calls you, and they have to do a pre interview and they want to go over what you're going to discuss. And like when he asked you this question, that's the U will answer this. And it's so put together. And I like to think that I could carry on a conversation with anybody. 00:26:33 Speaker 3: It's kind of what I do for a living. 00:26:35 Speaker 4: And uh, it really like rubbed me the wrong way, Like, dude, I'll get it, don't worry about it. If I was seven minutes, I can carry. 00:26:42 Speaker 3: On a convers adult. I think interesting things. 00:26:45 Speaker 4: That have happened to me. I can you know they want to make sure you get the joke in right. Can I tell you a funny story? 00:26:50 Speaker 3: Of course? 00:26:51 Speaker 4: So the show bit story. So I was on the Letterman. This is when I was on the Drew carry Show. So I was the first guest and I came out and it was right before Christmas. So I was like how holiday time and the Ed Sullivan Theater and he was the letterman was supposed to prompt me with a question, OK, so I could get this funny story that I had out, and he reworded the question so it wasn't the one I was asking for, so I didn't have a really funny answer. I was just like it was kind of like a answer. And then we went to commercial and I leaned over. He brings out a cigar during the commercial, smoking a cigar, and I go, man, I'm really sorry I didn't get the question. He goes, I don't apologize for this audience. This audience is kind of now where they're really dead the night because it was holidays and whatever. And I go, I'm really sorry, I didn't, you know, get the question. And he has a cigar and he looks out into the audience away from me, like you're mean. He looks at and he goes, fuck it, just fuck it. 00:27:50 Speaker 3: That is incredible. That must be the best, Like little in between You always wonder what the hosts and the guests are talking about in between commercials. This is the best story. 00:28:01 Speaker 4: They usually talk to the producer about the next segment or something that you're sitting there and the producer comes up and goes over cards with them and stuff. He's all by himself with guard. He just looked out blank, fuck it, just fuck it. I was like, all right, fuck it, I'm with you. 00:28:16 Speaker 3: Fascinating man, one of the most incredible, you know, people in comedy ever, but just fascinating. I interned there and it was such an experience. Yeah, what was that like? 00:28:27 Speaker 2: Uh? 00:28:27 Speaker 3: It was. It was both a dream come true and a lot of work. A lot of work and deeply stressful and depressing. 00:28:34 Speaker 4: People don't know. I don't think people realize how stressful that is being a PA. 00:28:38 Speaker 3: Oh, it's all the way around. It's wild work. There's I mean PA because I also paid later. But the things asked of you are I mean all kinds of things. 00:28:48 Speaker 4: Coffee donuts, give me a copyright, work nobody wants to do running around. You have to know the building by like the back of your hand. 00:28:55 Speaker 3: And people are very creative with the things they ask you to do. So it's and then you're also not getting paid, so it's just NonStop. 00:29:04 Speaker 4: Hell do they still do that unpaid interns? No? 00:29:06 Speaker 3: I think in the last like probably the last eight years, I think something has happened, something shifted where they're either paying them or the programs have gone away or something like that. But I don't think that it's really possible to be an unpaid intern anymore. Well, I don't know. Probably makes sense. It's a terrible job, but at Letterman it was. 00:29:27 Speaker 4: I mean, it's like where you're supposed to prove yourself that you can be a producer one day. 00:29:31 Speaker 3: Look at me, I will. I'm willing to eat all kinds of shit. 00:29:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, you need plus, you know. I tell people when they come to the prices right, like it's an important job. They like when they're majoring in film or something. When I take people in the audience, I go, well, there's your future, and I point to one of the red jackets. You're going to be fetching coffee and standing in the back and seating people because I don't trust you with anything. Nobody cares about your student film. 00:29:52 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, nobody I'm. 00:29:53 Speaker 4: Here about anything. They just want to know if I give this person a task, can they do it? Yes, And that's showbiz producing all the way up to the top. Yes, that's exactly like we need to shoot and mat a Gascar in May, and it has to be this and the star wants this kind of hotel, and you have to be able to deliver, no questions, no drama. 00:30:15 Speaker 3: Right. 00:30:15 Speaker 4: If you can't fetch a cup of coffee, right, you're not gonna make it. 00:30:19 Speaker 3: No, no, no. And then the other percentage of it is are you annoying? Yes? If you're not annoying and you can complete a task, you're on the path. 00:30:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's where they weed out all the annoying sequel. But there's that famous phrase in every business, I have no time for assholes. They Oh, you're an asshole, forget you, I can't deal. 00:30:38 Speaker 3: With you, and gen you're done right, And yeah, within the entertainment business, you can. If you're gonna be an asshole, you have to be the most talented person and then you get to just be the most talented asshole. Yeah, otherwise you're probably gonna burn out pretty quickly. 00:30:51 Speaker 4: When I was doing stand up, there was a trend like the headliners. You could be a really funny headliner and murder the crowd. And if you were that, you could be the biggest dickhead and the coke addicts, you know, late trashing your comedy condo and hitting on waitresses. You didn't care because he's funny, right, And then when I would meet people that were like super nice to the wait staff and extra care, I would think to myself, I bet they're not that funny. Before I saw them, I would think to myself, I bet they're not that funny. And that's a kind of rule of thumb that always worked out. 00:31:28 Speaker 3: That's probably up until probably the last eight years, that was probably true. 00:31:32 Speaker 4: You got to figure away, like how are they coming back to this club? 00:31:36 Speaker 3: Right exactly? Why are they allowed to be back here? 00:31:38 Speaker 4: Yeah? Are they nice? Okay? Then I guess that's why because they're such a nice person, right, or they're really nice or really. 00:31:45 Speaker 3: Funny undeniably funny Yeah, yeah exactly. 00:31:47 Speaker 4: And funny is the best thing to be. 00:31:49 Speaker 3: They'll put up with anything, yeah exactly. It's a superpower. 00:31:52 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:31:53 Speaker 3: Well, look, you brought something today, I. 00:31:56 Speaker 4: Did, you know? And I got to say, this is my only pick with the show. Like you, I know, it's called I said, no gifts. 00:32:03 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, you're going with a hot energy, but. 00:32:06 Speaker 4: It really should be called I insist you bring a gift. 00:32:10 Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about this is because I don't. 00:32:13 Speaker 4: I know the conceit of the show is that people bring a gift when you told them not to, and how could you be so disrespectful and rude? But then when I first got the offer email, it was like, don't forget to bring your gift and here's here's samples of other gifts that other guests have brought to give you what you're talking. And my assistant was like, do you need any help getting your gift because I can go get it for you. It's like, no, no, I'll get my own. And then I've been it was really like, I've been so stressed about what stupid gift to bring because you like, you feel like you have to be super clever because everybody's bringing like these clever, funny, ironic gifts that aren't gifts and like, you know, tipster thing, Like it's crazy, this hipster idea of bringing a gift. So, yeah, I got you a gift. Okay, interesting even though this show is called I said no gifts, but I know that's the conceit of the show. But honestly, you feel so if I showed up with no gift and said, oh h it said I said no gifts. You'd be like, what what are we going to talk about for ten minutes? 00:33:15 Speaker 3: I would get my rifle. Yeah, so here's your stupid gift. Well, geez, Drew, this is very rude. You bring me a gift. This is it's actually pretty impod. It's very heavy. Yeah, surprised that they have it. 00:33:48 Speaker 4: Get the top thing out first. 00:33:50 Speaker 3: Okay, it's in a brown paper bag. I'm reaching in so there's like a plastic thing. Well I should pull that out first. Oh interests. 00:33:57 Speaker 4: Oh shit, they fell over. Damn Well that's not my fault. 00:34:02 Speaker 3: It's four cupcakes from Bristol Farms, which is a good great I just recently learned a very good bakery. 00:34:07 Speaker 4: Great cupcakes. 00:34:08 Speaker 3: They've got great cookies. 00:34:09 Speaker 4: Yeah, they got good bakery all the way around. 00:34:11 Speaker 3: Okay, so you brought cupcakes? Was there a particular reason? 00:34:15 Speaker 2: What was there? 00:34:15 Speaker 4: I was thinking about it, like people bring you who was on last week? They brought to the giant cook bottle? 00:34:21 Speaker 3: Oh Finn Lily, Yeah lovely. 00:34:23 Speaker 4: So then you're stuck with a giant cook bottle. Because I know what it's like. People bring me like t shirts on the prices. They'll wear a shirt that says Drew's crew, right, or we love Drew, And then they go, we got you an extra T shirt? Where are these T shirts? If I'm going to wear a shirt around with your name? Says I love Drew like this guy. So I politely take the shirt and then I give it. I like, anybody want a shirt, you know, and I just. 00:34:50 Speaker 3: Give you don't have my warehouse of shirts at this point. 00:34:52 Speaker 4: Oh man, I have so much stuff, and I'm not complaining. It's very sweet, of course, and I feel guilty if I don't take it or hang on in it, you know. So I have all this stuff that people just brought me, like here, we got you. This thing I'm and you know what I'm traveling is kind of a pan because then I now I got to get this home. I can't toss it like I'm obligated to take it, so guilt. I didn't want you to be stuck with a thing that you have to put in your house somewhere right or on a shelf and go like, well, I can't throw it away. Where'd you get the giant coke bottle? Twenty years ago, I was doing this bucket, so I thought, cupcakes you can enjoy them throw the box away. 00:35:29 Speaker 3: This is an incredible, incredibly thoughtful give. 00:35:31 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that doesn't have anything to do with my career or a talking point. I just thought, oh, this would be a nice thing to get somebody if you're going to their house. Look, it's like bringing donuts too of me. 00:35:41 Speaker 3: Right, I really appreciate it. Should we eat donuts now? Do I mean cookes? 00:35:44 Speaker 4: I'm kind of off the carbs. Okay, yeah, go ahead. 00:35:47 Speaker 3: Take a little bite of one, please do. I'm not gonna see the least you want some cupcakes. 00:35:50 Speaker 4: The box was turned sideways, so one of them got smushed and fell over. 00:35:54 Speaker 3: Sorry, they look gorgeous. Oh, let's take a quick picture of these cupcakes for the. 00:35:59 Speaker 4: If you buy them a per farms, they're much better looking. 00:36:02 Speaker 3: I hope this is how they're selling. These are beautiful. Okay, I'm gonna take just. 00:36:06 Speaker 4: Their my favorite cupcakes to get when I do get cupcakes. 00:36:08 Speaker 3: And eat these like a maniac because I'm holding a microphone. Oh that's a very good. 00:36:13 Speaker 4: Cupcakes, a birthday cake kind of thing. 00:36:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, that frosting is incredible. 00:36:17 Speaker 4: It's great. 00:36:18 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I just recently learned of their bakery. Somebody recommended the cookies, and I'm frequently skeptical of a grocery store bakery. Bristol Farms. Yeah, Bristol Farms, they really do it. 00:36:30 Speaker 4: And then the main one. 00:36:31 Speaker 3: Okay, pull another thing out here. 00:36:33 Speaker 4: This is the main one. 00:36:35 Speaker 3: Oh, this is even heavier. Oh my god, I've got to be very Oh my god, what is this? You brought me a dom Perion champagne. 00:36:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, bought your bottle of dom. 00:36:45 Speaker 3: This is incredible. 00:36:46 Speaker 4: And this is for when the strike's over. 00:36:49 Speaker 3: Oh that's very sweet and good. 00:36:51 Speaker 4: Luck to you, like a wholehearted like you to celebrate the strike being over, sticking in your fridge. And then when the strike's over you can pop this and you and your boyfriend can think of me. 00:37:01 Speaker 3: Oh that's so lovely. I mean, so we'll be opening it in twenty twenty eight, yes. 00:37:06 Speaker 4: Or yeah, or when you run out of money. I can to sell this and go out in style. 00:37:13 Speaker 3: This is only the last thing I drank. 00:37:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like, oh, it was nice life while they. 00:37:16 Speaker 3: Had to die in a gun. 00:37:18 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:37:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, either way, this is a very nice combination cupcakes and the champagne. 00:37:24 Speaker 4: And if you want to, you can save the bottle. 00:37:26 Speaker 3: Right, I mean this is sort of a thing. I mean, speaking of holding on to things, like I'm gonna feel guilty opening this. It's a beautiful, beautiful guilty. 00:37:36 Speaker 4: I'm a millionaire. 00:37:38 Speaker 3: I feel like you, really, I think money frequently goes to people who don't use it correctly, and I feel like you. You enjoy yourself and you were, you know, like this swingers thing's a good example. 00:37:47 Speaker 4: Obligated to live my life. Well, sure course, will live vicariously through celebrities all the time. 00:37:54 Speaker 3: Huh. 00:37:55 Speaker 4: And they think, like if I had money, would I do that? Would I live like that? Or you know, I mean, right, like I read a was some article on a tabloidsh kind of thing, or in the celebrity section of some newspaper exaed by the tabloids. It was Matthew McConaughey. He says, years ago, it's gotta be twenty twenty five years ago, got cop showed up at his house. His neighbors called he was naked and high and playing bongos, and I guess he's making a lot of noise. So they called the cops and got in the tabloids that he was naked and high and playing the bongos and. 00:38:27 Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, yeah, yeah, why else did he become this rich and famous? 00:38:32 Speaker 4: If I had mad, if I was Matthew mcconnie, that would be my average. 00:38:36 Speaker 3: I'm forgetten, I'd be doing that as a hall. Yeah. 00:38:40 Speaker 4: I was like, good for. 00:38:41 Speaker 3: Him, right, It's like getting a cheat code in a video game. Just do whatever you want yourself. 00:38:46 Speaker 4: Enjoy yourself. Matthew Mcconnoey, you're Matthew mcconnie. If you're not naked playing the bongos, who's gonna. 00:38:51 Speaker 3: Yeah exactly exact when you first like kind of hit it big, were you apprehensive about spending money or was it like an immediately like let's go for it. 00:39:02 Speaker 4: Well, part of the equation was that everybody knew that I was probably making money, right, So it wasn't like some anonymous person coming into the diner or whatever. So when I first started doing like on The Tonight Show and stuff, I would tip five bucks for a cup of coffee, which is a big tip. 00:39:20 Speaker 3: That's a huge tip. 00:39:21 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm like, well, you know, people know I'm up exact, so I have to do something right. And then it got to be twenties. Then it was a twenty when I started making more money and people were aware that I was making more money, and I thought that was that was a big deal. And then I was my friend Sam Simon, who's dead now, but he was one of this who was one of my best friends. He wrote for the Simpsons, one of the creators in the Creators, and I would I would argue and so would everybody else that he was the driving force behind their early success. And I was talking to one time and he goes, how much do you tip? We were just chatting and he goes, how much did you dip your limo drivers? Because I was it was a story about me taking a limo somewhere and how he was all new to me. Oh sure, sure, and it's like weird taking a limo or like standing there like where's my limo? And I was like laughing about this idea, and which is kind of it is ridiculous. Yeah, of course when you're a normal person and all of a sudden they're sending a car and you're like, limo is late. So I go, how much do you tip your limo drivers? And I said twenty bucks and he goes, twenty You got to make it fifty dollars, right, I went fifty bucks, just exactly what he's out fifty bucks and goes, yeah, then they don't drop a dime on you. They're nice. 00:40:32 Speaker 3: You're buying their silence. 00:40:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they say nice things about you, and you can relax and they're not gonna, you know. 00:40:38 Speaker 3: Fifty bucks exactly. 00:40:39 Speaker 4: And I go, yeah, but fifty bucks, and he looks at me, he goes, hey, how much do you pay your publicist every month? 00:40:45 Speaker 3: Right? And the publicist is not a cheap thing. 00:40:47 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I said, you know, that makes sense. So I went right to a hundred. Incredible because who carries fifties? 00:40:55 Speaker 2: Right? 00:40:55 Speaker 3: I haven't seen a fifty dollars bill in thirty. 00:40:58 Speaker 4: Years to twenties out of ten, and so it looks like you scraped it together, yes, exactly, which is my one of my theories on tipping. I tip hundreds all the time. Now, like look and my wallet, I don't I have nothing but one hundred other bills. 00:41:09 Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is amazing, Yeah, because I don't. How much do you tip your podcast producers? You got. 00:41:24 Speaker 4: All the cupcakes you want. 00:41:25 Speaker 3: I've just shamed through and tipping. 00:41:30 Speaker 4: So yeah, I was like, tip hundreds if I get a glass of water at a bar. 00:41:35 Speaker 3: Wait, you're making people's day over and over. 00:41:37 Speaker 4: Well, it's CBS's money, honestly, so it comes to its flowing down through me from CBS. But I'm overpaid. 00:41:46 Speaker 3: I mean yes, of course, a lot a lot of people are overpaid, and they're not acting like you, you know, like they're just keep hoarding the money. 00:41:54 Speaker 4: You know, you get used to something, and I'm like from being a waiter right for so long, and. 00:41:59 Speaker 3: When I was away, when I would get a ten dollar bill from somebody, to be like, oh my god, what am I going to do with this money? 00:42:04 Speaker 4: But I don't know if you have the same like for cash, I would always think to myself, well, I'll just pick up an extra shift. 00:42:09 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 00:42:10 Speaker 4: Of course there's that mentality of oh i'm a little short, I'll try to get an extra shift, or i'll you know, try to sell some more dessert. It was always like working on commission, yes, And I've always done that style of work since I was first getting jobs, even as a bus pointing. So if you get a percentage right tip, so you're always like okay if I perform. And then when I got in a show, business and comedy. Same thing. If I was funny and I performed, I made more money more So to me, it's not like I'm just getting a salary and that's it. I can always make it up by you know, I can sell. One day I'll be doing you know, reverse mortgage commercial or whatever. You know what I mean. 00:42:53 Speaker 3: If you got to a point where you're able to make reverse mortgage commercials, you know you've really made it in life. I think. 00:42:58 Speaker 4: So. Yeah, Like if I'm that guy or find Jeff goldblowing at apartments dot com, I'm like, shit, you know what I mean. 00:43:05 Speaker 3: Because you know, you've been successful for a long time, long enough for people to trust you. Yeah, and you're still alive. Yeah. 00:43:12 Speaker 4: So I'm like, yeah, that's the way people make money when they're getting senior discounts and it all adds up. 00:43:18 Speaker 3: That's really wonderful. I think that's really nice because a lot of wealthy people are cheap still. 00:43:23 Speaker 4: Well, because if you grow up and you think like, oh, I have to hang on to this because who knows, and it's to go away. 00:43:28 Speaker 3: And this sort of career will make We'll do that to you, yeah, because it always goes away. 00:43:32 Speaker 4: Except I don't know. I think price is right. I'm pretty solid. 00:43:35 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been there for what. 00:43:38 Speaker 4: Next season will be my seventeenth year. 00:43:40 Speaker 3: That's incredible, It's crazy. It's honest. 00:43:42 Speaker 4: I've ever had a job. 00:43:43 Speaker 3: It seems like a fun job to have. It's a great job, like the most fun you can hosting teav. 00:43:47 Speaker 4: It's a perfect job for me because I love hanging out and I love meeting people. I love chatting, so that's all I do. And I love playing games, so that's all I do, right, And I love being in a spirit of play all the time, right right, So that's all I get to do. And me and George Gray laugh all day long. 00:44:05 Speaker 3: This sounds terrific. 00:44:06 Speaker 4: And I laugh with the contestants all day long. So just laughing and playing games and seeing people in states of joy or like you were like, oh my god, are they going to get it? And uh, imagine if you were like playing Monopoly all day with friends, right all you have to do for a living. That's kind of what I do. And then you know, next weekend, let's play risk instead, Let's do scrabble next weekend? Did you just change it up? But it's the same group and you get to laugh and a new player comes in. That's kind of like my living. 00:44:32 Speaker 3: That's I mean, a dream and absolute dream. Are you going to take that hundred bucks? Oh, we'll give it back? Then Anors has denied the hundred dollars. Wow, Anally's has got integrity. 00:44:43 Speaker 4: It's a non tipping job. I appreciate it. 00:44:46 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's real integrity. This podcast is at least one person involved with it has integrity. 00:44:52 Speaker 4: Why I watch you? I got your bottle of knight? 00:44:54 Speaker 3: Yes I was, I was almost. We tried to go to the prices a friend, the price is right in two thousand and nine, it was before I lived in La We came out here. We went to six Flags on a roller coaster. My friend's keys fell out of his pocket. We spent like the entire night standing in the six Flags parking lot trying to get into the car. The next day was canceled. Didn't get to go to the prices right, sat in a McDonald's and Silver Lake and then went home. So that was the closest I've ever come to prices. 00:45:22 Speaker 4: Right when I first moved here, friends would say what's in a while, Like, hey, we should do a game show or something. While we're here, try to make some money, or and I like, let's remember one person, we should go do the prices right, And I go, what do you have to do? And he goes, well, you have to get there like at six seven in the morning. I was like, foh, fuck, that. 00:45:39 Speaker 3: Far too our. 00:45:40 Speaker 4: I don't go to bed before I get to go to prices. 00:45:44 Speaker 3: Right, No, I'd be in a horrible mood. Yeah, so you were never on the prices right prior to And I. 00:45:49 Speaker 4: Kind of regret it, of course, because it's so much fun on it always delightful. Why didn't I do this, it seems and I could have got I might have been able to get on. 00:45:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure, like who knows, fun personality whatever. 00:46:00 Speaker 4: But yeah, I might maybe have to go back a couple of times. Sometimes people have to come like four or five times before they get finally get picked. 00:46:06 Speaker 3: Has anybody ever been a guest twice or cont twice? 00:46:09 Speaker 4: It used to be when I first started. The rule was once you were picked to come on down, you couldn't get picked again for the rest of your life. So it would kill me because people would get there, maybe the last one to come on down, they get their big chance and somebody would one dollar. 00:46:23 Speaker 3: Oh devastating, and I'd be like, well chance. 00:46:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're one chance, thank your death. Like five six years in they changed it to once every ten years. Okay, so now I'm getting people that were on with Bob and then they around with me around ten years ago with me, and then they come. 00:46:40 Speaker 3: Back coming back with the vengeance. 00:46:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, and like what happened to you last time when I got to the showcase and I lost? And like, wow, well they get to the showcase this time, or they pick. 00:46:49 Speaker 3: Up for you know, wow, that's uh, that's determination. Yeah wow. 00:46:54 Speaker 4: Because there's like people that are the one guy was on Man, he showed up like sixty some times and he was in the audience. He was a I haven't seen him since COVID. Hopefully I see him back when we have a full audience back next season. Super nice guy and he really sincere really nice. He would come to every taping he could. He worked at a vendor at Dodger Stadium, and so he had a lot of free time during the day to come and come to the prices right, and he knew all the answers to all the he knew every price. Oh wow, And I would always take time to say hi. It almost we had a lot of regulars that would come to the show. And he finally got picked and won a car. 00:47:32 Speaker 3: Wow, that's great. 00:47:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then paid off and then COVID happened, and then I don't know whatever happened to him, if if he's still working or if. 00:47:39 Speaker 3: He hopefully he's enjoying that car. I hope so, and I hope he comes back just to visit. Do you remember what kind of car it was? 00:47:46 Speaker 4: No? I think it was a Chevy Malibu. 00:47:49 Speaker 3: And that's that's a yeah, typical prices, right car. 00:47:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right in the wheelhouse. 00:47:53 Speaker 3: I could walk away from with a Malibu pretty frequently. 00:47:55 Speaker 4: But you know, I was talking to Sam once and he was like, what's the like if an alien land the cars are so good now, Like I wh an alien landed, you'd have a hard time justifying that alien. Why this BMW is five times more expensively than the Chevy Malibu. Because this Chevy Malibu has GPS, it has serious radio. 00:48:17 Speaker 3: It's all kind of been flattened out. I mean, yeah, every car has incredible things. 00:48:21 Speaker 4: And even like a yeah, Toyota camp like they're great cars. Yeah, they last forever, and they're sound and nothing's gonna go wrong with them. There's you can I used to make a joke about a Yugo because it was such a lemon to get and uh, there's no cars like that. 00:48:36 Speaker 3: No, there's no car where you're just like, oh, it's going to be garbage. I'm gonna hate it from the moment I buy it. 00:48:40 Speaker 4: No, there's not. They're like, oh, look out for this one. Yes, you back this one up, You're gonna set it on fire. Like nothing like that. They're all like pretty every car is like a pretty good car, and everybody's just like nitpicking now right. 00:48:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to be a real snub to like have a problem with some sort of car. Yeah, they're all great, Yeah exactly. Yeah, Well I guess I'm never gonna win a mall boo. But you know that's like, well we have you know you almost I'm gonna demand to be on the show. We have audio roof. I'm going to your producers. I will be spinning that. 00:49:13 Speaker 4: You have to argue. Podcast audiences are so much bigger than like late night talk shows. 00:49:19 Speaker 3: It's wild at this point, crazy Yeah, late night. 00:49:23 Speaker 4: I was like Seth Myers's I'd be worried about the podcasting is like if you get the right if you're in the right wheelhouse. 00:49:29 Speaker 3: It's the thing that everyone does, and I mean everyone consumes. 00:49:33 Speaker 4: I know so many people that I listen to one called the Hidden Brain on the oh. 00:49:36 Speaker 3: I love Hidden Brain. 00:49:37 Speaker 4: Brain's great. And when I'm road tripping, it's podcast podcast audiobook. 00:49:41 Speaker 3: Right before I get on a plane, I do a panic like download of some podcasts, and yeah. 00:49:46 Speaker 4: Hidden Brain so entertained. Hidden Brain is so good. 00:49:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm always learning. 00:49:50 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to. 00:49:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think we should say, I know, we got to play a game. 00:49:55 Speaker 4: Speaking of I'm joining this conversation, let's. 00:49:59 Speaker 3: I think we should play a game to gift you a curse. What it's called a game called gift or a curse. So I need a number between one and ten from you. 00:50:06 Speaker 4: Do I keep it myself. 00:50:07 Speaker 3: No, you're gonna tell me eight. Okay. I have to do some light calculating to get our game pieces. So right now, you can recommend something, promote something, do whatever you want with the mic. I'll be right back by the way. 00:50:17 Speaker 4: In these games, whether they say would rather this or this, my answer is quite often both true, you've got to pick. I'll explain when people tell me, oh no, you got to pick one. I go, well, what if I want both? Like Mary fucker kill? I want all three of them. I want to date all three of them. I don't want to kill anybody. I don't want to marry anybody. Can we just hang out? 00:50:39 Speaker 3: I'm going I'm going to force you to pick. Okay, so I'll be right. 00:50:42 Speaker 4: Back and Mary fucker killing? Why they hate? I don't get it kill anybody. Sometimes people aren't just for you the you know they'd be probably good. They have over and play a board game with or just watch a movie. You don't have to three bad choices that you have to. 00:50:57 Speaker 3: Make, Okay, Drew. This is how we play gift for curse. Okay, I'm gonna name three things. You're gonna tell me if there're a gift or a curse and why, and then I'll tell you if you're right or wrong. There are correct answers, so you can lose big time. All right, self. 00:51:13 Speaker 4: Appointed gatekeeper with your gifts. 00:51:18 Speaker 3: I'm the host here. I don't come to the prizes right and tell you how to spin the way. Okay. Number one this is from a listener named James. James has suggested gift or a curse bathrooms with no mirror. 00:51:32 Speaker 4: Gift Why, Well, you know, I've had weight problems up and down and when I'm really feeling bad about myself, I've done this several times in my life. I've put newspaper on all the mirrors. Wow, in my house interesting except for a little square so I can shave, okay, so I don't have to look at my body when I got out of the shower. I don't have to deal with it. 00:51:54 Speaker 3: Why, it's fascinating. 00:51:55 Speaker 4: Eat my cupcakes and be miserable. Right, and when I'm at a super low point, That's what I've done. But I've done it, like I don't know, like four times in my life. But you look great. I'll go up and down. 00:52:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, up. 00:52:09 Speaker 4: And I quit after Price Ray season was over. I quit like having a pint of ice cream every night, right right, all that stuff and I was able to just like it just drops off. He wants you kind of crazy. Interesting, So I don't need a pint of ice cream every night. It's a delicious thing to eat. It's like something it's like two points. Wow, did you have a flavor vanilla and chocolate. Oh, interesting, very simple, mix them up. I have to have just enough. I would get a small chocolate sometimes and a big vanillas. I just want a little bit of chocolate. 00:52:37 Speaker 3: I'd like a good ice a particular ice cream choice, you know, rather than just whatever. Like someone who has a plan with their ice cream. 00:52:45 Speaker 4: I like, that's my plan. Yeah, a big thing of vanilla with a little bit of chocolate in it. And I also like the hakan'das bars. 00:52:53 Speaker 3: Oh of course with the almond oh delicious milk chocolate. Yes, they're incredible because it's a little. 00:52:58 Speaker 4: Crunchy and you get a little bit of. 00:53:00 Speaker 3: The texture there is perfect. Although recently Hoggendws has had some billboards that have been very confusing to me. They say that's DAWs, but they have the umlat over the A and the thats, which is making me wonder, am I what am my? Is that supposed to have been pronounced thoughts Dows. I feel like the marketing team didn't think through that. It made me think, have I been mispronouncing Hoggindaws this whole time? 00:53:27 Speaker 4: I got a new plan for your marketing new coke. 00:53:34 Speaker 3: Okay, so you're saying gift, well. 00:53:37 Speaker 4: You know, it's yeah, like who needs it? 00:53:40 Speaker 3: Right? Well, you want to look at your hair. You've got nice hair, but ocasionally you want to be like, what's going on with my hair? 00:53:45 Speaker 1: Yeah? 00:53:46 Speaker 4: All right, but it's not it's not a curse, that's for sure. So I mean, it's not like it's not like Horraine there's no mirrors, but it's also not fuck, where's my mirror? 00:53:57 Speaker 3: Drew? You're correct. This This is why I when I go into a bathroom there's no mirror, it is the most disorienting feeling. It feels like you've walked into kind of a little void where it's like because they're so commonplace in a bathroom when you're in one and you're you're washing your hands in the sink and just looking at a wall, very interesting experience. 00:54:17 Speaker 4: Well, you know, because I've been road tripping lately a lot, I've been in plenty of gas station bathrooms where there might as well not even be a mirror. 00:54:23 Speaker 3: There might as well not even be a toilet scratched out. 00:54:26 Speaker 4: And over and like you barely see in it anyway, so an you feel dirty looking in the mirror. 00:54:32 Speaker 3: So yeah, the like a truck stop bathroom. 00:54:36 Speaker 4: Truck stop bathrooms are great, you think so, No, they're great. 00:54:39 Speaker 3: I've taken a flying j Great. 00:54:41 Speaker 4: It's always super clean. 00:54:42 Speaker 3: It's because the truckers have to go in there and use them. 00:54:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they're also great places to take a shower. 00:54:47 Speaker 3: You've showered in a truck stop bathroom. 00:54:49 Speaker 4: Yeah. Many times when I was doing stand up comedy, I would oh. 00:54:52 Speaker 3: That makes perfect sense, gig right. 00:54:54 Speaker 4: And sometimes I was. I remember the first time I tried it. I thought I used to think it was like a community shower, was, I ask you, No, it's like you rent the bathroom of a Hampton in motel room. 00:55:05 Speaker 2: Oh. 00:55:06 Speaker 3: Interesting. 00:55:06 Speaker 4: You don't get the better of the dresser, but you get the bathroom. So you walk in and there's a sink and a hair dryer and it's just been cleaned. 00:55:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, soap towels. 00:55:16 Speaker 4: Wow. So you walk in, take your shower, leave the towels there, walk out, and somebody else cleans it up for the next person, and you're like, wow, that was lovely, and nobody else is around. You could take your time, and they they charge you, but they make the turnovers great. 00:55:30 Speaker 3: Oh. 00:55:30 Speaker 4: I've also kind of attempted also taken showers at a first class lounge. 00:55:35 Speaker 3: When I'm flying, they offer those in a in the airport. 00:55:38 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he throw airport. When you're flight alone. And if you have a lay over to go someply like South Africa or someplace where it's like a super long flight, you're a first class. They have showers in the lounge. 00:55:50 Speaker 3: Oh the dream. 00:55:51 Speaker 4: So you bring a change of clothes with you because you just had an eight hour flight, have another twelve hour flight ahead of you. Just go and take a shower, change of clothes. 00:55:58 Speaker 3: That sounds amazing. 00:55:59 Speaker 4: They're just as good as the truck stop ones. 00:56:01 Speaker 3: That's good to know. 00:56:02 Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's a brand name truck stop, don't worry about the showers. 00:56:06 Speaker 3: They're great, fascinating. And now I'm thinking about our truck drivers listening to this podcast. We've got up the you must We've got to get some truck drivers listening to the podcast truck Drivers Reach Out. Okay, you've gotten one so far, Okay, very good. Number two. This is from somebody named Mariah, gift to a curse ice cube trays gift. 00:56:25 Speaker 4: Why well, what if you don't have an ice maker in your own you gotta get ice somewhere you don't want to buy a bag of ice all the time, and then you could get ice creb ice cube trays that'd give you like different shapes and stuff like people sell like ones that are like weed Oh right, yeah, and you know, whatever kind of weird shapes you want. You can get those just for parties. And yeah, what's wrong with an ice cube tray? 00:56:49 Speaker 3: How could I say they're a curse? I mean, I'm they're a gift. You're right, I will say, And it's they're the ones I buy because I'm so unbelievably cheap. I buy the crappiest version, so they're cracking, they're hard to get the ice out of. Hey, you can buy like a tipperware one, but the rubbery ones are kind of confusing for me. I always feel like I'm gonna push all of the ice cubes out. 00:57:09 Speaker 4: Imagine going to a party where there's cocktails and the house breaks out an old fashioned metal tray with the lever and cracks open some ice. You'd be like, what the dream? 00:57:19 Speaker 3: Be so happy that it would be incredible. 00:57:22 Speaker 4: Like what the hell? Yeah, on the rocks. All my drinks are on the rocks tonight because I get this great ice that you just. 00:57:28 Speaker 3: Ghipped out, Yeah, ice cube trays. I don't feel like that's that divisive of an issue. 00:57:32 Speaker 4: It's not even worth a discussion. 00:57:33 Speaker 3: I feel like we're basically all on board. I don't know that anyone's ever had a really traumatic experience with an ice cube tray. Yeah, Mariah, I mean, but look, we've got to discuss everything. Everything has to be discussed at some point, does it really okay? Two out of twos of are very good. Finally, this last one is from somebody named Becca. Gift her a curse. Writing a personal reminder on your hand or forearm in pen. 00:58:07 Speaker 4: Probably a blessing, And why you're not going to forget the thing you needed to write down right away? There's no paper around, but you got a pen. You got to write it somewhere. I have a friend who's a writer, and she was writing a script. And I got into her car one time and she had all these chalk notes in chalk all over her dashboard. WHOA because she would be driving, And she says, I get these ideas about the script. She keeps the radio off and she said, grab my chalk and I write it down. She right handed write it down on my thing. 00:58:39 Speaker 3: I don't think it was the dashboard. 00:58:40 Speaker 4: It was like it was a Toyota camera. It was like huge. It was like an old fashioned d This is in the eighties. This is an old fashioned big dashboard. And she would you know, dark charcoal or whatever, and she just write, you know, so and so kills this character, you know what if she's. 00:58:56 Speaker 3: A very scary little car. 00:58:58 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was weird. I feel like you go in and you're like, what the hell, and they're like just graffiti all over her dashboard. But then you could wash it off because he's chalk. 00:59:05 Speaker 3: Wow, that's a really interesting I mean, if I got an uber in an uber with that on the dashboard, I would be exiting immediately. 00:59:11 Speaker 4: And it doesn't happen anymore. And I don't hold you are. But I remember, like before cell phones and whatever, meeting someone in a bar and they would write their name on your hand. That's pure romance as a guess we're going to do something. Yeah, that to me is make sure you call me. 00:59:28 Speaker 3: People need to be doing that again. That seems so. 00:59:31 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, now you just hand somebody your phone and type in their thing. 00:59:34 Speaker 3: Cold lifeless thing. 00:59:36 Speaker 4: Yeah, But if like, hey, I want to make sure you remember me, and here's my number on your fucking hand. There's no excuse for you not getting in touch with her. Wow, and that used to be such a hot thing. Then that happened and be like, oh, this chick's down. 00:59:52 Speaker 3: And then you smudge it on the steering wheel driving home and your life is ruined. No, you'd be so careful with it, or you get to live with that mystery, which is very exciting. I don't want to give this point to you, but I have to. I mean, I wrote on my hand it is a gift. I wrote on my hand from probably third grade until the end of college that there was no other way for me to remember anything better than no note. Yeah, it's certainly better than no note. And it's the only way that you're like, it's with you. It's just there with you. It's not in a notebook that vanishes. I mean, if you do it all the time, and now you're shaming me. 01:00:26 Speaker 4: And if you like, if you do it like every day and that's your to do list on your arm, then I would say I would talk to your therapist about this car be a notebook or get an app. 01:00:36 Speaker 3: Well, what I've graduated to is sending myself an email. So like, if I put a load of laundry in that I know I'm going to forget, I immediately send myself an email that just says laundry. So then when I look at my inbox three hours later, I'm like, oh, yeah, the laundry is still in there. You're not going to I can. I need to put it in the dry. 01:00:51 Speaker 4: Oh that kind of stuff. I set a timer on my on my phone. 01:00:53 Speaker 3: Oh, interest on my watch. 01:00:54 Speaker 4: I have a timer on I have a smart watch. I said, timer on my watch. 01:00:58 Speaker 3: But don't you worry. What if you leave the house and the timer goes off, you might forget. 01:01:03 Speaker 4: Did you have laundry? Well, then if you're gonna forget, what's the launder's not going to disappear. 01:01:10 Speaker 3: Well, this is what happens if you leave we laundry in a washing machine for too long, starts to grow mildew. The just wash it again. 01:01:17 Speaker 4: But Okay, what he's stressing that we're living like we live like gods right now? I watched a lecture series about the French Revolution and they covered like Louis the fifteenth and all. I've been really amazingly into this period of France, and uh, we live way better than Louis the fifteenth. 01:01:36 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, can you imagine his life was garbage? 01:01:39 Speaker 4: Garbage compared to what we like in the normal person. There's old movies. They have like a rich black and white movie. They have a rich couple like Jeeves, get the car ready, I want to go into town and you have to be rich and imagine a chopur there polishing the car and like, oh, I'm ready to go. And nowadays you just tap me, tap on your phone and a guy comes up with black suv and whisks you off to wherever, safely and with no pride. They don't even talk to you. If you know you said don't talk to you, they won't talk to you. And I want the temperature cold, and they make the temperature cold. It's so great that I was. I went to e DC this few weeks ago, big electronic dance music festival in Vegas, and it just was like FIRS. I had nothing on ABC. 01:02:23 Speaker 3: I mean didn't have the gardens, all right, that's the one thing. The gardens were certainly better. 01:02:30 Speaker 4: But honestly, we could go to me and you could drive to hunting and gardens right now. 01:02:34 Speaker 3: And enjoy them twenty bucks. We're wandering the. 01:02:37 Speaker 4: Republic and you could just yeah, did you wander around? It's as good, I would argue, it's right up there with kind of versaias. 01:02:42 Speaker 3: Right, and gardens from around the world. Yeah, yeah, and we're not in the risk of getting our heads chopped off. Now we live like gods, and I mean ice cube trays and writing on our hands with pan arf they didn't have ice like that was the ultimate luxury. Yeah, that's and also kind of a mystery how they did that. 01:03:03 Speaker 4: Romans used to bring snow down from the mountains and store. They would wrap it in like hay and stuff to keep it cold, and it would melt a little bit, but they would do their best and they would have like at a big fancy party, you would have like icys wow, like shaved ice with a flavoring in it, and that would be a big deal and only rich people could afford it because they would they would literally cut the ice. 01:03:24 Speaker 3: Down from a mountain right covered in hay. 01:03:27 Speaker 4: Yeah, so they probably did that lou the fifteenth time. 01:03:30 Speaker 3: But nobody else forget it. 01:03:31 Speaker 4: Nobody, Yeah, forget it that. They get it by food every day. If you were angular person in Paris.

Yeah? This person wants to give the X a gift because the divorce was so lovely. Look, sure, everybody's got a situation.
