Speaker 1: Forever. Look man, oh, I see you my why and
Speaker 1: look over there? How is that? Yeah? Goodness calling listen.
Speaker 1: Here's the fact. We were over here on the car
Speaker 1: and we were thinking, thinking and talking about our guests.
Speaker 1: We said, what are we even going to talk to
Speaker 1: them about? Nothing? No, just and then we laughed. And
Speaker 1: then we laughed, laugh because what a joke that was,
Speaker 1: because there is a wealth of things to cover. When
Speaker 1: I sat down, I had a thought, and I actually
Speaker 1: told everyone in the room that I had a thought,
Speaker 1: and I said that I would wait to say the
Speaker 1: thought until the podcast started, And it's now started, and
Speaker 1: I can reveal the thought that I had. Please. I'm
Speaker 1: very excited because I can talk about Orlando on this
Speaker 1: episode when what forbade you? And you included you from
Speaker 1: talking about earliendo on the other one, Often we have
Speaker 1: a guest that's not an Orlando, bitch, This is an
Speaker 1: or Lando. But I feel that one of at least
Speaker 1: one of our guests there are there are plural guests
Speaker 1: in the studio too. They don't claim to think or
Speaker 1: assume that's just because someone comes on this podcast that
Speaker 1: they're in Orlando, bitch. But I know for a fact
Speaker 1: we have at least one Orlando bitch and this' it's
Speaker 1: rude when you're not an Orlando bitch. I think when
Speaker 1: you sort of know that we're we are Erilando bitches.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the potentially non Disney bitch of
Speaker 1: the two of our guests should have should have known that.
Speaker 1: But I think they have I I think they have
Speaker 1: a very um uh. I don't want to say they
Speaker 1: have a theme park energy, but I can picture the
Speaker 1: the other guests who's not the confirmed Orlando bitch. I
Speaker 1: can picture them very vividly in the theme park and
Speaker 1: think they have a nice time and chump chomp on
Speaker 1: a turkey, but maybe not too scary, huh. I find
Speaker 1: that this person is very sensitive and I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to put them on a ride with like a loud sound.
Speaker 1: That might be a real thing to deal with later on.
Speaker 1: He scream, He would scream, it's actually a real culture number.
Speaker 1: When things happen, people may scream. Think that that is
Speaker 1: so true. I have to reveal something to you, and
Speaker 1: this might be hard to hear. But one of our
Speaker 1: guests and right after this, I'm going to bring them
Speaker 1: in and she can explain herself to you. One of
Speaker 1: our guests, the Orlando Bitch, has begun to start plans
Speaker 1: with me about going to Disneyland together in Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: Stop doing that. That's my that's me crying. That's the
Speaker 1: sound of my tears hitting the floor. Stop of this
Speaker 1: collap trap. You're heavy, heavy tears, and unfortunately you will
Speaker 1: be in another state and not able to join us.
Speaker 1: You guys, why would you do this? Because she asked, Look,
Speaker 1: it's fine, like you and I have different relationships with
Speaker 1: are the confirmed Orlando Bitch? Like you guys get to
Speaker 1: go to Disneyland together. I am on a text bed
Speaker 1: with her called Club ass formerly titled Asked Berths, where
Speaker 1: we update each other on our daily poops and she
Speaker 1: is a here right, that's not the kind of fun
Speaker 1: I like to use a huge part of my life
Speaker 1: in that way, and your ass life, my ask life,
Speaker 1: and then the other guests, the Unconfirmed Orlando Bitch I
Speaker 1: have loved since the first time I saw him. To
Speaker 1: be honest with you, he's one of those people that
Speaker 1: you just you see him and then you ask, what
Speaker 1: do you like? What's the deal with him? Like when
Speaker 1: you find out loving relationship and you move on and
Speaker 1: you move And how was that for you? Easy? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that I don't think he's fantastic. It's just like
Speaker 1: you to tell me twice. But it doesn't surprise you, right,
Speaker 1: You're like, of course spoken for. I wasn't surprised at all.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't it doesn't like hit you. It isn't.
Speaker 1: It's not like a kick in the gut, a punch
Speaker 1: in the gut. You're like, no, I know. It was
Speaker 1: like a tickle on the shoulder. It was like he
Speaker 1: has a boyfriend. I was like, okay, yeah, for for
Speaker 1: sure checks out. You know, so talented, so talented them
Speaker 1: not just one and then the and the confirmed Orlando bitch, incredible,
Speaker 1: married to one of our favorite people. Change my life
Speaker 1: change and then she changed my life. She and I
Speaker 1: were well, we'll talk about this listen, and not to
Speaker 1: like not to like reference these people in terms of
Speaker 1: invitation to their partners. They're significant other of course there
Speaker 1: they have full, complete, full lives on their own and
Speaker 1: that's confirmed this And we're going to hear some songs today.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why we're back in hunt Engineer Ronnie's studio.
Speaker 1: Is we in the studio, we're going to hear their songs.
Speaker 1: I love their music so much, and can I say something?
Speaker 1: But do you know how every time we come to
Speaker 1: Hot Engineer Ronnie studio, he's always playing like a really
Speaker 1: good jam. He wasn't playing a good jam today, but
Speaker 1: that's because the guests were rehearsing one of their jams.
Speaker 1: And so canonically we're still we're still, we're still in
Speaker 1: that space. Ye. I remember Hanter Jiner. Ronnie played Sissa
Speaker 1: Control like the week it came out, and I was like,
Speaker 1: is this that new says the album? And he was
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I was like, it's really And then
Speaker 1: of course I asked like and you were like no, no,
Speaker 1: And I was like okay, cool and were immediately because
Speaker 1: you and I are both like Ronnie plays like Carly
Speaker 1: ray Jepson's songs. I was like, he is he is
Speaker 1: a friend friend of Dorothy And is he is he?
Speaker 1: I don't know? In the Madi Queen Society? Is he
Speaker 1: in the Madi Quean Society? Is he a bob strikes
Speaker 1: the ticket holder? They oh, now we're back to clueless. Hum.
Speaker 1: But Ronnie is not no, just fine And I love
Speaker 1: that and I love I love all my straight friends Now.
Speaker 1: I love the music so much from our guests. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to experience our guests. And I'm in the
Speaker 1: studio musically. And you can listen to their album, Friends
Speaker 1: who Folk. It's a self titled album, UM, Spotify, iTunes,
Speaker 1: Apple Music, wherever streaming happened. They perform all over the city. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are called Friends who Folk. Please give it up
Speaker 1: for Rachel. What a cookie intro? I don't think it was.
Speaker 1: It was so up and down and all around. I
Speaker 1: felt like I was on a dark ride. Now you
Speaker 1: how dare you go behind my back? And planets? Now?
Speaker 1: Did you know about this? About this Disneyland trip? That there?
Speaker 1: I did not know about it yet. I mentioned I
Speaker 1: am not an Orlando bitch. I will just say, will
Speaker 1: you never be? You don't have to be nervous about
Speaker 1: saying it. I could be. I think I could. I
Speaker 1: definitely have enjoyed Orlando it But college, M, what was
Speaker 1: the last time you would I think? I was? I
Speaker 1: was little. That was your first so I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't quite seen it as an adult, so I
Speaker 1: don't know what my response would be. I'm giving them
Speaker 1: one a knowing look when I see kids at theme parks.
Speaker 1: I think they're going to regret being kids. Yes, well
Speaker 1: I recently didn't. I don't think so, Honey. Kids at
Speaker 1: the Magic Kingdom, I don't think they should be there.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's for them. It's not all. I
Speaker 1: feel like this is where maybe we disagree because I
Speaker 1: feel like Magic Kingdom is the one place that is
Speaker 1: for kids and the rest of them. I like to
Speaker 1: describe Universal Studios as a theme park for it's not
Speaker 1: think that you're not. That's not inaccurate. Have you heard
Speaker 1: about the new Harry Potter coaster that they're building, because
Speaker 1: because now man'll say it's gonna be, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a coaster. It's one of the most highly themed, ghastly
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be like The Mummy, right,
Speaker 1: It's going to be very that. And there's seven launches. Seven.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, literally be as much of a freak
Speaker 1: as I am and go on YouTube. Comes are really
Speaker 1: excited about it, and that's the Thing's so proud of you.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you. The trades are are a buzz.
Speaker 1: The trades are a buzz. Wait, can I ask you
Speaker 1: a question? What what's keeping you from going back to Orland. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah, it's not like an act. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's an active aversion to it. The opportunity
Speaker 1: just hasn't a reason. But if you guys invited, if
Speaker 1: you come to in February, we will go to That's
Speaker 1: the plan is that we're going to go when the
Speaker 1: first three weeks of feb okay, so we're definitely going.
Speaker 1: I want to do Disney. I went to nuts Berry
Speaker 1: Farm last night. I heard that's fun. Well, it's like
Speaker 1: it is a very themed theme far about berries. Its
Speaker 1: whole thing is berries, yes, so like fruit. I don't
Speaker 1: started it started as it started as like a pie
Speaker 1: pie shop and then there was a really really long
Speaker 1: line for the pie shops. So the guy not Mr
Speaker 1: not I guess was like done not done, was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to put up some attractions to keep the
Speaker 1: people in line for these berry pies that my wife makes.
Speaker 1: Busy and then and then Disneyland opened and he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that seems like a good idea and just grew it
Speaker 1: into a theme park. Yeah, you might start past me
Speaker 1: as the well, oh my god, the guy who thought
Speaker 1: a shirt on his back huge there's a guy across
Speaker 1: the street from us who is purely naked, Yes, bouncing
Speaker 1: up and down and bopping around. Are you guys exhibitionists?
Speaker 1: I mean in that I have been naked and continue
Speaker 1: to be naked in my own home, but not like
Speaker 1: a stranger to see me. Are you in my window?
Speaker 1: Are you commonly nude in front of the house, in
Speaker 1: the house, in front of your partner, like, look at me,
Speaker 1: look at me? No? Every Yeah, when I'm nude, I says,
Speaker 1: and I yeah, no one's ever seen me fully nude.
Speaker 1: I always have one very sort of thin, like a
Speaker 1: really thin silk scarf that's draped around just so. Yes,
Speaker 1: I always have like a like a like a light
Speaker 1: film over me, like like a dirty it's like an
Speaker 1: extremely dirty it's an extremely dirty, very light um coat,
Speaker 1: just dirty enough to never be new. So there really,
Speaker 1: really there's no reason for me to I love. That's
Speaker 1: like a dirty gown, dirty night, dirty night. I love.
Speaker 1: I actually love that. Do that. I definitely do that.
Speaker 1: Do you know my mom got me for a Christmas
Speaker 1: what a bathrobe? That's a nice nice Yes, she wants
Speaker 1: you to experience luxury. Yeah, and I have been Yeah,
Speaker 1: is it like a fluffy night roobe or like a cloth.
Speaker 1: It looks okay, it actually says it says on the man,
Speaker 1: what's what's the name of that place where the counts
Speaker 1: is the land um her husband cheated on her at
Speaker 1: this place. I have no idea. The Marriott, No, it's
Speaker 1: like but it says the name of of the that
Speaker 1: that hotel Oriental. No, it's not that. The knots very
Speaker 1: far from hotel. We can float away from this. I
Speaker 1: don't remember the hostel. I'm just saying it's going to
Speaker 1: be very hard to be there with Rachel and have
Speaker 1: to you know, I don't want to hurt you, so
Speaker 1: I don't want I want to monitor my instrument while
Speaker 1: we're there, though I'll keep you apprised of all my ships. Yes,
Speaker 1: so Rachel and I are on this threat together. I
Speaker 1: didn't update the threat about the time, but I shot
Speaker 1: into the plastic bag though I can't was too embarrassed.
Speaker 1: You know, what I realized is that so boone and
Speaker 1: I are also doing Whole thirty together, and we're on
Speaker 1: a whole thirty text threat. And but now we're we
Speaker 1: we text each other for everything that goes into our
Speaker 1: body and is that a lot. Is that too much?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Do you? Are you someone who
Speaker 1: talks about their poops? Um? Ever since I've met Rachel's
Speaker 1: definitely at Rachel's a very fecal person. Yeah. I always
Speaker 1: really respect when someone just talks about their ships. I
Speaker 1: actually always think it's really cool. I think it's bad,
Speaker 1: like I just took a ship, But then why don't
Speaker 1: you do it for yourself? I do you know? I
Speaker 1: just have to wander and you know, I have to
Speaker 1: be kind of trusting and yeah, but I wish I
Speaker 1: could just be like balls to balls to the ship
Speaker 1: to the I'm not like I wish I could be
Speaker 1: like the guy Cross, Yeah, the who just took his
Speaker 1: shirt off and took a it in the window. Um,
Speaker 1: what if we took our clothes off for him? I
Speaker 1: thought I thought you were kind of I thought you
Speaker 1: were kind of entering into the discussion that we all
Speaker 1: kind of do some strip poker all nude. We did
Speaker 1: an episode where when Josh and Aaron came for their
Speaker 1: first episode, we all took the whole episode for no reason.
Speaker 1: It was because we were at that point everyone was
Speaker 1: wearing hats. Oh yeah, we we I think you were
Speaker 1: your first time because you're a two time guest. Now
Speaker 1: that's true. And um, so the first time that you
Speaker 1: were here where we were, did we demand that you
Speaker 1: wear a hat? I don't. I don't think we were
Speaker 1: there for the picture. Yeah, and I mean the first
Speaker 1: live I don't think so, honey was a hat. Yes,
Speaker 1: the hats were were still very much part of the brand.
Speaker 1: I looked so bad in that hat. It was a big,
Speaker 1: like musketeer hat. Yes, I think you would look stunning,
Speaker 1: and I think it would act. Yeah, it would. Now
Speaker 1: tell us about how you two met and the journey
Speaker 1: that brought you to friends who, folks, please tell us? Um? Well, Similarly,
Speaker 1: when I met Nat, I was like, what's his deal? Um?
Speaker 1: And then everyone was like year in a long term
Speaker 1: relationship and I was like, oh, I couldn't work. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't And that's the only reason that no other reason. Yes,
Speaker 1: we met at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts. Whenever
Speaker 1: I say that a theater, it's very steem. It is
Speaker 1: a very esteemed festival. We were both in plays and yeah,
Speaker 1: we were kind of the people who wanted to drink
Speaker 1: the most. I think that's how we found each other. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wanted to drink people really, but you guys really wanted
Speaker 1: to drink. We we wanted to take it a little
Speaker 1: less seriously. I think there were a lot of grad
Speaker 1: school actors, which is a temple. Yeah, bless them, but yeah,
Speaker 1: they take their bodies with a lot of respect, and
Speaker 1: we were kind of the people there who wanted to
Speaker 1: absolutely destroy our bodies. And from that, Rachel was like,
Speaker 1: you should do comedy. Yeah, oh yeah, you had never
Speaker 1: done comedy, and I was like, that's crazy. Comedy is
Speaker 1: the most lucrative. Yes, there's a lot of money in comedy.
Speaker 1: I was like, it seems like you're kind of on
Speaker 1: the track to become a Broadway actor. Um, and things
Speaker 1: are really going well for you. Why don't you start
Speaker 1: doing musical stand up with me? But it's truly the
Speaker 1: best thing that's out there. In mind, I think it's
Speaker 1: the best thing that's out there. And I feel like
Speaker 1: we should just expose the listeners right now. Let's have
Speaker 1: let's have Rachel and Ned sing a song? Can you
Speaker 1: sing us a song? We would love to Well. This
Speaker 1: is from from the album or as a not this
Speaker 1: is not on the album, um it is. It is
Speaker 1: from after we released. We released an album a few
Speaker 1: months ago, and we then wrote the song as soon
Speaker 1: as the album was done. Well, the creative process never stopped,
Speaker 1: never stopped. Remember nineties three. The creative process never stops, never,
Speaker 1: never stops and never sleeps. No. And so tell us,
Speaker 1: tell us, abou, you want to talk about this song
Speaker 1: before you start singing, And yeah, this is this is
Speaker 1: a song about self care. Yeah, we love that, right,
Speaker 1: we love that a lot. And this is friends who
Speaker 1: folk life can be hard. Sometimes you need to unline.
Speaker 1: I have an end up in routine to clear my mind.
Speaker 1: I turn off the lights, silence my phone, because this
Speaker 1: is the time when I am finally alone, down and
Speaker 1: close my eyes, and then I think about everything I've
Speaker 1: ever done wrong. I think about everything I've ever done monk.
Speaker 1: I remember all my phones and we lift them in
Speaker 1: my head, and then at three am, I can finally
Speaker 1: go to bedton. What do you think about at night?
Speaker 1: I think about the time in second grade when I
Speaker 1: threw up on the r table. The teacher was showing
Speaker 1: us what we were gonna draw, and I threw up
Speaker 1: on her picture. I could have vomited on the floor,
Speaker 1: but I threw upon the picture instead, Mrs Gagiano, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry about your picture. I think about it, yelling hid
Speaker 1: it keeps me awake. I la down and close my
Speaker 1: and then I think about everything I've ever done Monk.
Speaker 1: I think about everything I've ever done wrong. I started
Speaker 1: at the beginning of a year by year, and before
Speaker 1: am I pass out? Rachel, do you want to tell
Speaker 1: us what you yes? I think about the time a
Speaker 1: girl in high school told everyone that she thought I
Speaker 1: was gay, and the reason she gave was that I
Speaker 1: was too obsessed with Sandra Ball like in the movie
Speaker 1: Two Weeks. Notice, that's not something I did wrong. That
Speaker 1: is something she did wrong. But I'm the one who
Speaker 1: thinks about that every single night. I think about all
Speaker 1: the things I can't control and how I could have
Speaker 1: controlled them. I think about all the things that can't
Speaker 1: be fixed, and I try to fix them by I
Speaker 1: think amout them really hard, down and close my eyes,
Speaker 1: and then I think about everything I've ever done them.
Speaker 1: I think I about em I scrolled through the Twitter
Speaker 1: for seven hours and six say I got to work
Speaker 1: at work. I still feel really bad. I think about
Speaker 1: the time I see myself I can't. I think about
Speaker 1: the time I slept with the guy who I knew
Speaker 1: was bad, but I sucked him for I hear. I
Speaker 1: think about how I'm not the only one in the world,
Speaker 1: and then I feel bad because the world is that.
Speaker 1: I think about how climate change is really I think
Speaker 1: about the military industrial will come back. I think about
Speaker 1: the fact that white women voted for Trump. I think
Speaker 1: about the nature when I am dead and I want,
Speaker 1: I want my eyes will eyes will warms my eyes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is my favorite song. Truly phenomenal.
Speaker 1: How can I ask you a question? Yeah, this might
Speaker 1: sound weird. How does it feel to know like you
Speaker 1: are so talented? I don't know. I could ask you
Speaker 1: the same question, but don't. Don't you dare I'm not
Speaker 1: in the hot. I'm not in the hot. Such great voices,
Speaker 1: such great writing. I mean, it's all there, the musicality.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Yeah. I think we initially like
Speaker 1: nerded over our love for music, and then it became like,
Speaker 1: funny are our interest in it? Like we both when
Speaker 1: we were first friends, like would laugh about how we
Speaker 1: knew really like obscure Joni Mitchell songs, and whenever we
Speaker 1: saw each other we would kind of sing a little
Speaker 1: bit of Ladies of the Canyon, or it grew out
Speaker 1: of like a really genuine love of folk music. Also
Speaker 1: like I'm such like a study Like I love to
Speaker 1: be really prepared for things I love. Like I think
Speaker 1: that's why stand up. Even though I did it a
Speaker 1: few times and enjoyed it, it was never the thing
Speaker 1: that I wanted to do because I love to come
Speaker 1: being so prepared, like a little harmony Granger. And this
Speaker 1: is the thing that I know that we can put
Speaker 1: a lot of work into and that it pays off
Speaker 1: because the music is good and not like shitty comedy music.
Speaker 1: It's always going to be a known quantity wherever you go,
Speaker 1: which is like but like that, but that like it's
Speaker 1: just a testament to like your writing in this container,
Speaker 1: which is like it's a song. Um, it's good. Like
Speaker 1: the jokes are landing in the right places. It's hitting
Speaker 1: the audiences here in the right places. That's why reason
Speaker 1: the reason I like to do music too, it's because
Speaker 1: I know what it is. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's not like it's what you're saying. It's not like, um,
Speaker 1: Literally the word I want to write is inebrious. That
Speaker 1: can't be I don't know what you're trying inebriate. I
Speaker 1: tell you what what you do? It's not inebrius. That's
Speaker 1: what I've always said. What is it? What am I
Speaker 1: trying to a morphous? I know you, I feel it's
Speaker 1: not amorphous, It's not inebris. Can you believe a neubrius
Speaker 1: could be a word your first and only language? This
Speaker 1: is like really recently, I was trying to think of
Speaker 1: the word birth the saurus and I kept just thinking
Speaker 1: pictionary over and you, stupid idiot. I was like, I
Speaker 1: have to look up. I need I need a new
Speaker 1: word for this. I need to look it up in
Speaker 1: a pictionary. HP. Are you looking up if a nebrius
Speaker 1: is a word? No? No, I thought. She pulled her
Speaker 1: phone out like this stupid thing, and she was literally
Speaker 1: just texting, just get on, this is a nebrius is
Speaker 1: a word? If not, we need to call someone to
Speaker 1: make it a word. I think the way you define
Speaker 1: a nebrius is to be able to be drunk anywhere
Speaker 1: like I am. And I would say that you're a nebrius.
Speaker 1: I've seen you drunk in lots of laces. We have
Speaker 1: been drinking across the country together. We have in Chicago,
Speaker 1: in Canada, in Austin. Oh, I didn't I have been.
Speaker 1: Oh we went to Austin. I didn't go back. Oh
Speaker 1: I didn't you know that? I was verys and Austin
Speaker 1: every time I go. Wait, Ned, where have you ever
Speaker 1: been drunk in Austin. I've never been to Austin, and
Speaker 1: I don't drink. No, I think you I think I don't.
Speaker 1: I think Ned is on his way to being in Nebrius.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying so much, I've learned so
Speaker 1: much about my song. I'm sensitive. I don't like loud
Speaker 1: noises people asked on my way they feel kind of contradictory.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wait, people ask what you're dealing. Stop.
Speaker 1: We've we've put a lot on Ned. I think, well
Speaker 1: we have to ask Ned the question yes, and we're
Speaker 1: but what we're gonna say, we're gonna put more on you.
Speaker 1: So we've already talked to her about this on her episode.
Speaker 1: We've already had visit this her later though. Well, you
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want, it's your show. But what
Speaker 1: I want to do is asking that the question, yes,
Speaker 1: now go on. The question is what is the culture
Speaker 1: that made you say culture is for me, it's the
Speaker 1: pop culture in your life that was defining. This could
Speaker 1: be any form of culture and it really is already
Speaker 1: open to interpretation. How you answer this ned a book,
Speaker 1: a movie play? Yeah? Um, I think actually Jody Mitchell
Speaker 1: is like a weird um and like a weirdly early
Speaker 1: touchstone for me. Like I was like an eight year
Speaker 1: old who loved Joy like it was. It was. It
Speaker 1: was very strange, like I knew all the words to
Speaker 1: Blue when I was like pen like I was, and
Speaker 1: I was wearing like overalls and I had like a necklix.
Speaker 1: I was already a Lady of the Canyon then. Um
Speaker 1: so I think that was my way, maybe not into
Speaker 1: pop culture, but into some kind of qulture that's up cold.
Speaker 1: Maybe a good title of this step would be Ladies
Speaker 1: of the Canyon. Oh my god, that would be a
Speaker 1: dream coming or foking folking Inbria. I love that. On
Speaker 1: his way to that, we gotta talk about Joanie a
Speaker 1: little bit. What's your favorite Johny material? Joy? What's my
Speaker 1: favorite Johnny album? Do you love listening to like older
Speaker 1: Joan Lately? Or I got offer for a bit too
Speaker 1: because I I odeed it was so scary. I found him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds really scary. Rachel, what happened when you found
Speaker 1: that Ned had over overdosed on Johnny Mitchell and tell
Speaker 1: us walk us through the whole thing. Um well, just
Speaker 1: as a disclaimer, this joke is in really bad days
Speaker 1: already in really bad day. I'm not saying it's about
Speaker 1: to be more in bad taste, but just the fact
Speaker 1: that it was made in the first place, I think
Speaker 1: is on my part, very bad. But as we said,
Speaker 1: this is Howard Stern. That's something we said before we
Speaker 1: started rolling, rolling, when we began rolling, when we began rolling,
Speaker 1: and I said, let's all say something super problematic, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy to have gotten there only six minutes checked
Speaker 1: one box. Um but yeah, I just like walked in
Speaker 1: on Ned. He he was like on the floor in
Speaker 1: a pile of his own throwing it. Never told me
Speaker 1: that he was. He was just uh, he was. It
Speaker 1: was because he had listened to do a bunch of
Speaker 1: later Joy after he had really taken over. I think
Speaker 1: I think that the newer version of both Sides now
Speaker 1: it's really beautiful. It's beautiful. It makes me kind of sad,
Speaker 1: like it's a very sad song. Yeah, but because when
Speaker 1: she wrote it, it was like, Okay, a beautiful song,
Speaker 1: and then when she did it when she was older,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, now you're on the other side, right,
Speaker 1: got to the other side of I love her so much.
Speaker 1: She was also really formative for me, and I think
Speaker 1: I feel like the way that Joni Mitchell to me
Speaker 1: like was my pop culture was that being a huge
Speaker 1: Joni Mitchell, Crazy Sills, Nation, Young, etcetera fan as a
Speaker 1: very young kid was like, this solidifies that I will
Speaker 1: not be like the other girl. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be cool because this is what I
Speaker 1: like to listen to. Um. But then you know, I
Speaker 1: found my people there you go. Joanie is that thing though,
Speaker 1: where it's like it's it's like a north Star for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. It's like, I mean it's like
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's like you guys said earlier, that's how
Speaker 1: you guys. You guys found each other. And like, I
Speaker 1: think she just My favorite thing that Joanie is that
Speaker 1: she makes you, which makes you more human by listening
Speaker 1: to Yeah, she definitely is. It's it's she's a poet.
Speaker 1: Her lyrics are unrivaled. So good and California one of
Speaker 1: my favorite songs Beautiful, all of Courton Spark, all of Ladies,
Speaker 1: of the Ladies, the Canyon. I just cannot overstate how
Speaker 1: much I love that And it's such and it is
Speaker 1: a funny song. When we were first becoming friends, we
Speaker 1: would just sing like really dumb lines from that song
Speaker 1: to each other, like, and did you did you start
Speaker 1: writing your material while you were at Wtown or did
Speaker 1: that continue? Because what happened was your theater festival ended
Speaker 1: and you said we must stay in in deep touch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we stayed in deep touch. Like for anyone who doesn't
Speaker 1: know Williamstown, it's like we're touching each other physically, very deeply.
Speaker 1: But Williamstown is like what three months, two and a
Speaker 1: half months. Yeah, you're sleeping in like an unair conditioned
Speaker 1: dorm room in a twin size bed and you're with
Speaker 1: the same like fifteen people everything, like yeah, who else who?
Speaker 1: Like Cuckoo was there, Cynthia Nixon was there? Were It
Speaker 1: was like just the weirdest. You're like, oh, I'm at
Speaker 1: the local coffee shop with Cynthia Nixon. Um, but you
Speaker 1: get like really close to people, uh and it's crazy
Speaker 1: and then you come out and it's like you've been
Speaker 1: through a war together. Yeah, it is a cult. So
Speaker 1: we got out and we're like, we got we got out.
Speaker 1: We finally got a yeah. Yeah, and then I got
Speaker 1: I got asked to do a show that was about
Speaker 1: like political stuff, and I was like, I was like,
Speaker 1: come write a song with me about politics, and we'll
Speaker 1: sing our song about politics. And then it went well
Speaker 1: and we were like we should keep doing this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It happened kind of accidentally, like yeah, someone was like,
Speaker 1: what are you called? And we had to think of
Speaker 1: a name. Can you explain the name? Friends? Who folk?
Speaker 1: It's a pun on fucking yeah. Oh and uh, it's
Speaker 1: like friends, it's like friends. I'm sorry, I at a
Speaker 1: little belligerent and Inebrius sorry, Matts Aenebrius. He's just drunk everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was drunk everywhere at this moment with a pictionary
Speaker 1: and you but then you my favorite folking um uh
Speaker 1: pun is folking lessons, which I think was yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my god. That was our show where only twenty people
Speaker 1: came and Bowen and Bowen was the only person laughing
Speaker 1: and it was such a good show. No, but that
Speaker 1: was the most generous thing that a friend has ever done.
Speaker 1: For me was come to my show where truly the
Speaker 1: only people there were like my mom and her mom
Speaker 1: both there and weirdly like a table of industry. It
Speaker 1: was a great show. Who laughed so loud and it
Speaker 1: was so nice. It's my favorite step. I remember the
Speaker 1: first time I saw it wasn't even called Friends who
Speaker 1: Folk at that point, but it was YouTube. Put a
Speaker 1: video up on Facebook of you guys singing, we are friends,
Speaker 1: but we don't have so we don't have sex, and
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: My favorite was the first thing we did. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then like but then like the Friends who Folk
Speaker 1: as as it is iterated now, is like through that
Speaker 1: political show, I think, so. Yeah, that was like when
Speaker 1: we wrote it, and then when we wrote our first song,
Speaker 1: and then we just kept writing goods. Yeah. It was
Speaker 1: like people asking each of us to do shows and
Speaker 1: hopping and started, Yeah, started with a political song, and
Speaker 1: then were we just started writing dumber and dumber songs
Speaker 1: until here we are, And of course we all have
Speaker 1: our roots in writing dumb songs together and three of
Speaker 1: us anyway, before before when Ned was very young, yeah,
Speaker 1: hadn't even been born you hadn't even been born. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I saw the last show when I was
Speaker 1: three years proper. Life feels like actually another Yeah, we
Speaker 1: are not the same people, which is I saw you
Speaker 1: guys at Union Hall. I do think it was like
Speaker 1: late our full band shows. Yeah, you know what's crazy
Speaker 1: that those were those popular shows that we did at
Speaker 1: Innion Hall were never like crazy well attended. I know,
Speaker 1: I go to shows. I feel like every show I
Speaker 1: go to a Union Hall now is sold out, like
Speaker 1: and I'm like, did you kind of like pop off
Speaker 1: in the last two years. I don't know. I still
Speaker 1: we always do our monthly show at Union Hall, and
Speaker 1: I love that venue so much. And also we've done
Speaker 1: shows there that had a lot of people and shows
Speaker 1: where there were truly no really and I don't know
Speaker 1: what that just might be us though I did to
Speaker 1: show they were a year ago with Sam Tigger and
Speaker 1: five people came what show was that? And it was
Speaker 1: we were not clear about what the show was and
Speaker 1: great we patched it together at the last second. It
Speaker 1: was a crazy show. I liked that. I liked that
Speaker 1: you guys announced that you had a show called derbyst
Speaker 1: and that no one knew what it was. I liked.
Speaker 1: I like this idea, this new thing of creating a
Speaker 1: show that doesn't have an identity and saying my tickets
Speaker 1: to this that I love her. She just loved. She announced, like, Hi,
Speaker 1: come to my new show. My butt smell like as
Speaker 1: my butt smell like shit. You're like, that feels very
Speaker 1: our brand is left is my my my butt smell
Speaker 1: like ship is amazing? She opened up. You weren't there,
Speaker 1: but she opened up for my last Christmas show. She
Speaker 1: did the funniest character and speaking of openness from my
Speaker 1: Christmas show also, and I was. I was on the
Speaker 1: side thinking, this is the comedy that you want that
Speaker 1: I want to see in the world for me. I
Speaker 1: um okay, I need to ask, we need to ask,
Speaker 1: we need to talk more about Joony nod Joan, Joan
Speaker 1: over Carol bringing it back to Jon over Caro. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Carol King. I'm doing this thing
Speaker 1: that where I'm another and it is toxic, right, never
Speaker 1: minded to take that back? Did you see that I did?
Speaker 1: She the musical Beautiful? I didn't. I did. I did.
Speaker 1: Beautiful is the Orlando theme parks of Broadway show. I
Speaker 1: want to see it? How dare you say that when

Speaker 1: Then Moss told me it's scary. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: heard it scary because so big, he's a huge cong.
Speaker 1: Well that's from what I've heard to Tong I heard.
Speaker 1: I heard the Kong is absolutely and I even hear
Speaker 1: the Kong so big and so unwieldy that sometimes the
Speaker 1: Kong will malfunction like this. It's a Is it a puppet?
Speaker 1: I think it is. It's like a puppet slash animatronic.
Speaker 1: It is. It's not act. It is. You've done the
Speaker 1: Reign of Kong. Uh the Crystal Skull. You've done that right? Yes,
Speaker 1: okay with the big as King Kong at the end, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's gag. That was the Gong. That was that Kong
Speaker 1: was so big, That cong is huge. I don't quite
Speaker 1: remember the Kong because it's because you were inebrious. The
Speaker 1: rest of the ride didn't do it for me though.
Speaker 1: That many screens, you take too many screen to screens.
Speaker 1: And also the car is so big. The van is
Speaker 1: so big that you can be sitting in the middle
Speaker 1: of it and then you like don't see out the window.

Speaker 1: you know that Disney World's getting Star Wars Land? Yea,
Speaker 1: so maybe that would be a good There's going to
Speaker 1: be a ride where you get on the Millennium Falcon.

Speaker 1: little boy. I bet, yeah, I bet being a fan
Speaker 1: of Star Wars that you want to get I'm ready? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're ready? Yeah, honestly, what's he's taken? I'm over it?

Speaker 1: Of course? Okay, great Corney her star making me famous.
Speaker 1: It's actually a world of culture. Yeah. I absolutely could
Speaker 1: not get through that movie without feeling so motion sick.
Speaker 1: It's a disgusting movie. It's very I was sitting. There
Speaker 1: are three movies I've had to walk out of because
Speaker 1: they made me sick to my stomach because of how
Speaker 1: shaky the camera was and how sick I was. No
Speaker 1: because I saw that on a oh wait, on a plane.
Speaker 1: I had to you kid rinkle know. The three films though,
Speaker 1: are what the big short? Because it's such a it's
Speaker 1: such a shaky cam. It made me feel so sick
Speaker 1: m Avatar, which I would and Precious. I was sitting
Speaker 1: so close to the screen and it made me feel
Speaker 1: so sick because it was such a shaky camera. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, how are you with the favorite? Because I
Speaker 1: had all that like weirds, I think I was far
Speaker 1: enough away from the screen that's good and made you feel.
Speaker 1: I wish I could like do movie reviews somewhere where
Speaker 1: they're just reviewed based on how motion sick they made me.
Speaker 1: It should just be you in the front row of
Speaker 1: every movie reviewing it that shaky camp as an Orlando bitch.
Speaker 1: You love the thrill, okay, so the rides that really
Speaker 1: make me autely you might and I'm sen citizens right,
Speaker 1: is crazy? The Simpsons, Right, I thought I was going
Speaker 1: to pass and pass away and I almost passed away
Speaker 1: on that. I like to close my eyes. Yes, I
Speaker 1: feel like we need to apologize to Ned for calling
Speaker 1: him is perfect. No, I am very sense I said
Speaker 1: that my way into pop culture was Joanie Mitchell. But
Speaker 1: we didn't say we didn't mean sensitive in the pejorative
Speaker 1: at all. What's pejorative like negative? You know? No, I
Speaker 1: didn't mean pejorative at all. I did not mean that pejorative.
Speaker 1: I love sensitive that I am actually very soon. We
Speaker 1: weren't being We weren't being pernicious. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what a word. What's nets deal? The millennium?
Speaker 1: The millennium? J Mitchell? Um, that's great that you were
Speaker 1: able to be so dynamic as to contain the multitudes
Speaker 1: of I like Joni Mitchell, but would like to ride
Speaker 1: and maybe even drive the money and would love to
Speaker 1: drive it. Yeah, it would be my honor. Now, you
Speaker 1: guys started writing new stuff as soon as the album
Speaker 1: came out. Do we have a timeline on the next release,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the next album released album? Yes, well,
Speaker 1: we have to keep writing and then we also have
Speaker 1: to just raise capital as they stay in the biz
Speaker 1: to pay for an album. Yeah, it does. It all
Speaker 1: just go to like to studio stuff. Yeah. We recorded
Speaker 1: our first album at a studio called the Relic Room
Speaker 1: Studio where we also record the Story by Its podcast
Speaker 1: and uh, we just like want in the same vein
Speaker 1: of like wanting the music to sound like a music
Speaker 1: we wanted to be recorded. Well, yeah, that's a good studio.
Speaker 1: It's a great studio. Okay, I think it's a great great. Great.
Speaker 1: I've started to realize that asking people about process is
Speaker 1: like impossible because basically all you're asking is how, oh
Speaker 1: I read this? I read I read lesson like I
Speaker 1: love Did you read it? Read it bad? Have you
Speaker 1: read it? I think Matt, you should read it. Matt
Speaker 1: would love it. I think you would do. What is
Speaker 1: it about? It's a game and a game, and it's
Speaker 1: it's a about this um, this gay author who is
Speaker 1: turning fifty and he's having this like a bit of
Speaker 1: a midlife crisis around like aging is like a gay man,
Speaker 1: and then his ex lover is getting married. He starts
Speaker 1: freaking out. So then he goes on this book tour
Speaker 1: around the world in order to escape that and like
Speaker 1: to think about what it means to like go into
Speaker 1: middle age. And then it's like a really beautiful meditation
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, it's really funny. It's so funny. It's
Speaker 1: really funny. I love that it's a book about what
Speaker 1: it's like to feel sorry for yourself well also recognizing
Speaker 1: that it's shitty to feel sorry for yourself when you
Speaker 1: have a lot of privilege. Yes, yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: grapples with that very well, where he's like, I don't matter,
Speaker 1: and I don't deserve to feel this way. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, like I've this is something that I've sort
Speaker 1: of like come around and is like, no, like we're
Speaker 1: not walking around thinking while I shouldn't feel bad because
Speaker 1: I'm so privileged like that, Like it's still you're still
Speaker 1: in a lived in experience where it's like I'm going
Speaker 1: through a shitty time that has, for the most part,
Speaker 1: might not have to do with my identity. I mean
Speaker 1: maybe it mean, of course it does, but it's that
Speaker 1: actually is more harmful to say, let me ignore my
Speaker 1: feelings because it's it's because because they could be worse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you make yourself sick. Yeah, yeah, well that's
Speaker 1: exactly I do think that. Like the complexities of all
Speaker 1: of that is what that book is about. And also
Speaker 1: it's funny and sweet and the ending is an incredible
Speaker 1: love story. Is sexy you have to not sexy? It's
Speaker 1: pretty sexy. Yeah, some it's not, like it's not shades,
Speaker 1: but like what happens in that book, like yeah, kind
Speaker 1: of a contemplative inner look at like privilege and and
Speaker 1: also what it's like to put an egg in your vagina. Famously,
Speaker 1: we went to go see Fifty Shades of Gray when
Speaker 1: it came out with an A Dresden on Valentine's Day,
Speaker 1: Anna Dresden and I'll never forget the moment when three
Speaker 1: quarters of the way through the film, after eight hundred
Speaker 1: sex scenes, a little boy in the back of the
Speaker 1: theater was like, Daddy, I need to go to the bedroom.
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone in the theater was like. Everyone screamed. It was.
Speaker 1: It was the most cathartic thing we've ever been a
Speaker 1: part of. It was so funny, it was very hilarious.
Speaker 1: Everyone was horrified, just like you. I love nothing more
Speaker 1: than a gasp prom It just washed over the whole audience.
Speaker 1: It was so fabulous. That's so terrible fabulous. And speaking
Speaker 1: of washing over an audience, I think that it's time
Speaker 1: for you to wash another song over us your audio.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a dream. The thing about this
Speaker 1: song is that it's incredibly niche. Don't don't niche? What
Speaker 1: is it? Because I always said niche and then people
Speaker 1: say niche like as two niche people, we can tell
Speaker 1: you that it's when people as two people. You are
Speaker 1: constantly told by TV networks and that you which means gay.
Speaker 1: When did you come out as niche general two years ago.
Speaker 1: Did your parents have a hard time like accepting that
Speaker 1: you were. Yeah, they were like for a long time.
Speaker 1: It was harder than when I came out it's gay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my parents were like, we're sending you to an ex
Speaker 1: niche therapist in Colorado Springs and it's like really informed
Speaker 1: my identity as an adult. Um. Now, tell us about
Speaker 1: this niche song. Well, I don't want to say too
Speaker 1: much about it, but it is a prayer. Yes, And
Speaker 1: you guys are very religious. We are act fremely religious.
Speaker 1: It's a big part of what we do. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: sort of haven't touched on that, but we're both like
Speaker 1: very Christian. Yes, well, God's real. God is real, and
Speaker 1: I hope you're ready for us to take you to church.

Speaker 1: you think it's lawn order. That feels like kind of
Speaker 1: homophobic for musical theater star Patty Lapone. Excuse me, you're
Speaker 1: calling me homophobic. It is actually extremely sexist of you
Speaker 1: to think that a woman could be homophobic. Plus, she's
Speaker 1: very known for law in Order, like she has a

Speaker 1: the live podcast. Where does that come from? Did you
Speaker 1: actually observe Patty lapon in her natural habitat of sartis?
Speaker 1: I actually did see Patty Laponent's sardis. It was actually
Speaker 1: one of the crazier celebrities. Iding like it was the
Speaker 1: most predictable actually to see Patty Loon, It's already meaningful
Speaker 1: but me, but I was like, I'm usually not that
Speaker 1: shocked by seeing a celebrity in New York, but seeing
Speaker 1: Patty the pone in a bowler hats like real icon.
Speaker 1: Well you know what it is. It's when I think
Speaker 1: about when I see a celebrity, I'm like, have I
Speaker 1: have I seen this person in a room with hundreds,
Speaker 1: if not thousands of people where we're all focused on
Speaker 1: this one person, and now am I like within feet
Speaker 1: of them? If the answer is yes, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is crazy and this is so overwhelming that like
Speaker 1: someone who has been so that I've seen so on
Speaker 1: display in my room. Yeah, suddenly I'm like within feet
Speaker 1: of them. I'm like, oh, that's nuts. I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's my that's my weird thing with well, it feels
Speaker 1: crazy to see famous people like at all. Something Like
Speaker 1: I've seen famous people where I'm like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously this famous person exists, and then others where I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's actually impossible to me that they're a flesh of
Speaker 1: blood person that's standing here. Patty is one of those
Speaker 1: people when you see a celebrity mule couple times, like
Speaker 1: in person, You're like, that's not the same person I saw,
Speaker 1: but it fully is like I've seen Kelly Clarkson in
Speaker 1: person ten or eleven times, and I think she might
Speaker 1: keeping replaced, Oh my god, but it is like Kelly
Speaker 1: I saw in Los Angeles and she was fully different
Speaker 1: and she but she was the same Kelly Clarkson that
Speaker 1: we saw at the view And yet there she was,
Speaker 1: and yet that she was. It's just crazy that she's
Speaker 1: out there living a life right now because I loves
Speaker 1: I like, Patty Lapone is doing something right now, right now.
Speaker 1: That's so, are you guys, Patty Fans of her but
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Um, I'm a huge Patty Lapone fan.
Speaker 1: But the one time I saw her stage was a
Speaker 1: matinee of Gypsy, and I felt like I didn't live
Speaker 1: up to what I wanted. I loved her in Gypsy
Speaker 1: and saw it twice. Someone told me something saw her
Speaker 1: and something and she had a cold, and she was, Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: where is okay? Then tell the story. I saw Gypsy.
Speaker 1: I saw Gypsy on Broadway twice, and the second time
Speaker 1: she had a cold and she held a tissue the
Speaker 1: entire time and incorporated it. And she famously like doesn't ever,
Speaker 1: like she never calls out of shows, So she was
Speaker 1: sick and still went and she just incorporated this tissue
Speaker 1: into the character and would kind of like blow her
Speaker 1: nose and sneeze and very Juilliard and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: Thirty years at the beginning. Yeah, Mama Rose, and stop
Speaker 1: taking pictures. I just love her so much. She does
Speaker 1: the most iconic performance I think at that Kennedy Center
Speaker 1: honors Barbara Cook. Oh my god, Yes, I'm gonna love
Speaker 1: you like nobody loves you. Come right, you know I
Speaker 1: didn't do it right. She's amazing. She's amazing. She she's
Speaker 1: you know what, the best part my favorite part of
Speaker 1: about Patty. My favorite thing about Patty is that she's
Speaker 1: amazing in interviews, an incredible watch what Happens Live interview
Speaker 1: before Madonna mana movie killer. Yeah, and then she described
Speaker 1: like the first time they ever met, and and like
Speaker 1: she she said that Madonna only said to her, I'm
Speaker 1: taller than you. Oh my god. I saw in War
Speaker 1: Paint too, which was like that was paint. I felt
Speaker 1: that that was the story of me and Bowen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were a show called Knights that was very okay. Yes,
Speaker 1: actually I saw the first Night Soap and okay, well
Speaker 1: first and anyone, I hope no one listening worked very
Speaker 1: hard on War Paint because I will say Night Soap
Speaker 1: was like good War Paint. I felt that, even though
Speaker 1: I didn't see War Paint were the whole time. The
Speaker 1: songs in Night Soap were more memorable than the songs
Speaker 1: in War Pain, which we didn't have any There were
Speaker 1: not any song. There was a fight scene, there wasn't
Speaker 1: with a break with break and gun in space we
Speaker 1: have to do that was amazing, Thank you. I can't
Speaker 1: believe we did it once for like seventy people Night
Speaker 1: Soap was a play that Bow and I wrote for
Speaker 1: Arsenalva and Fest two years ago. Two years ago where yeah,
Speaker 1: where we played UM two women, um a warring matriarchs
Speaker 1: of two chocolate dynasties. I was Barbara Hershey, who was
Speaker 1: also the actress, and I was Nesley, And basically what
Speaker 1: happened was they were old, old, old friends who came
Speaker 1: up with a patent for a chocolate that could be
Speaker 1: edible in space, transportable and edible in space. But the
Speaker 1: thing is like their husbands were constantly having conflict because
Speaker 1: they were Mr Hershey and Mr Nesley, and so they
Speaker 1: were like, well, let's get together and like sort of
Speaker 1: like figure this out because the men certainly can't. And
Speaker 1: over the course of the first scene, which is the
Speaker 1: first act, you find out that was that I was
Speaker 1: sucking yourself. I was sucking her son. And then then
Speaker 1: the communication breaks down and it's not until second act
Speaker 1: in the Alps and A where we see each other again.
Speaker 1: This show was so funny. Thank you. It's truly, I
Speaker 1: keep saying this, It's the only thing that I look
Speaker 1: back on that I'm like proud of that. Like two
Speaker 1: months ago and I was like this holds up, you think, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: it needs to. And then of course the third act
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, takes place in space and there is a
Speaker 1: fight to the death and we have a full space
Speaker 1: were wearing body body, and then there's a there's a
Speaker 1: twist ending that I'm so proud. There's a huge twist ending.
Speaker 1: The people gasped, yeah, I was shocked. We won't spoil
Speaker 1: it because you guys should do it again or maybe
Speaker 1: that's your that's what you that's your niche pitch to networks. Yes,
Speaker 1: literally with one production company I will not say which,
Speaker 1: and I described the idea and they were for they
Speaker 1: liked it. Okay, I'll tell you who it was later,
Speaker 1: but maybe it'll be on some sort of niche network
Speaker 1: near you sometimes. Okay, but this was going to get
Speaker 1: me into my thing before we talked about less and
Speaker 1: this is actually a great segue into your guys writing process.
Speaker 1: And like the thing that they say and less is like,
Speaker 1: what else is there to ask a writer except how
Speaker 1: like I feel like, do you guys have a streamlined
Speaker 1: way of like writing your stuff or is it like
Speaker 1: more like just like you guys are playing around with
Speaker 1: different ideas? Um both, Yeah, I feel like it's often
Speaker 1: it has often been that we we have like an
Speaker 1: idea and kind of with that idea like a genre,
Speaker 1: or we're like that's the Sarah McLaughlin's or what where
Speaker 1: it is, and then we kind of riff on that.
Speaker 1: But then we also there's also been ones where like
Speaker 1: we have an idea and it's a little more fully
Speaker 1: formed and then we help the other like bring it
Speaker 1: to life. But it's often us like really just at
Speaker 1: a guitar and with a computer open, like improvising stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because sometimes it's like sometimes it will be me being
Speaker 1: like I want to write a song about about how
Speaker 1: like treating like staying up all night worrying about stuff
Speaker 1: is a is like a type of self care, Like
Speaker 1: let's write that and then we'll sit down and write it.
Speaker 1: Or it'll be ned being like, can we write a
Speaker 1: song about the movie step Mom? And then and then
Speaker 1: we'll do that, or like we just did we just
Speaker 1: wrote a song about Marie Condo that was literally because
Speaker 1: that was like making fun of me for doing and
Speaker 1: he was like, I just like what you're doing whole
Speaker 1: is the whole? Yes, yeah, but no, I think I
Speaker 1: also believe in you I think, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to change my life and you are actively
Speaker 1: keeping me no. I want, I want, I really want
Speaker 1: you to change your life. We all does really need
Speaker 1: you to change change your life. But Ned was like,
Speaker 1: I just like, I think that I just want Marikondo
Speaker 1: to like come over and scream at me. And then
Speaker 1: like we're like, well, that's the whole song, and then
Speaker 1: we wrote it in. It just feels like everyone wants
Speaker 1: Marie Conda to really like dumb right now, you should
Speaker 1: be able to do that one. We could try. We
Speaker 1: could try to do it right now, trying to do
Speaker 1: a little quite Okay, I'm going to forget. I'm going
Speaker 1: to forget the words what's our key? Okay, let them
Speaker 1: do it. You gonna come with us. I want to
Speaker 1: scream at me and tell me that I've been bad, bad.
Speaker 1: I want Marie Condo to write a letter to my
Speaker 1: parents and tell them I'm a messy piece of ship.
Speaker 1: I want Marie Condo to convict me of a crime
Speaker 1: I didn't come in and put me in jail for
Speaker 1: my whole life. I want Marie Condo to look me
Speaker 1: dead in the eyes and say, you don't spark joy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, don't you watch. I want Marie Condo to
Speaker 1: scream at me and tell me that I've been a
Speaker 1: bad bad boy. I want Marie Condo to drive me
Speaker 1: to a jump and throw me in the dump and
Speaker 1: then I'll find may be free beef free. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: we sort of know the lric that I like that
Speaker 1: news friends to a folk song and also I vividly
Speaker 1: pictured someone looking I think this would be a good
Speaker 1: reality show, but recondable with friendships. So it's like you
Speaker 1: have to look someone in the eye. It's like you've
Speaker 1: decided that out of your five friends, three of them
Speaker 1: don't spark joy to them. You have it seems so
Speaker 1: excited to do that, like you have friends, but you
Speaker 1: have too many friends. I think that's called boundary. I
Speaker 1: love I've I've reconded my room too, I did. Did
Speaker 1: you like it? But I do? I believe in it.
Speaker 1: I believe I think it works. I think you're the
Speaker 1: way you're living spaces organized as a direct reflection of
Speaker 1: your mentor whole state, and it's it's helped. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just like I did the whole thing
Speaker 1: where I put everything on my bed, went through the
Speaker 1: stuff I wanted to keep. And I'm honestly thinking that
Speaker 1: like all these good wills in churches, in places, these donations,
Speaker 1: places are like overwhelmed right now. Yeah, I'm just tossing
Speaker 1: in the trash. Is that bad? Yes? I don't want
Speaker 1: them to go to I don't think that's great. I
Speaker 1: think the idea is not the way to go. But
Speaker 1: like projection, yeah, I feel like the soup kitchen, Like
Speaker 1: they're getting a lot of monetary donations right now. So
Speaker 1: I'm just taking my money and I'm burning it. Not no,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. It's not that I'm bringing. If
Speaker 1: I were bringing money to the good will, be like, no,
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I think that it's fine
Speaker 1: because I think that I think it's fine to take
Speaker 1: stuff there, even if they are overwhelmed. They think a
Speaker 1: lot of those places have the means to recycle sure textiles,
Speaker 1: and a lot of these places, a lot of the
Speaker 1: good wells I hear just toss most good they just
Speaker 1: throw it in the garb. They do. They do. That's
Speaker 1: very You're performing a surface. I am h and them
Speaker 1: recycles used textiles. Oh I should have done that. I
Speaker 1: think it's fine, I've definitely thrown like old underwear and
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter I have. I mean, I save
Speaker 1: all my old underwear. I throw it in a basket
Speaker 1: to save it for dinner. I save it for dinner.
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of the stuff. Whole thirties, whole
Speaker 1: whole eating. Yeah, because I'm even thirty beers of underwear
Speaker 1: this month, and that's you're glowing, and that's sometimes it
Speaker 1: gets really late at night and I feild my stomach
Speaker 1: talked around and I'm like, I really want to eat
Speaker 1: my underwear, right, but you can't because it's one a day.
Speaker 1: I have a service coming tomorrow to pick up all
Speaker 1: the clothes that I'm Marie condoed because I did it
Speaker 1: with my clothes. I did before the documentary. I did
Speaker 1: it before anyone was even talking about it. I did
Speaker 1: it weeks ago. Aren't you cool? Aren't you that it's
Speaker 1: a reality? It's yeah, who is? I think she is
Speaker 1: stunning And I think she's the nicest. She's the sweetest
Speaker 1: soul on the planet. Doesn't judge anybody. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: she loves kids. She loves kids. She's like, Okay, we'll
Speaker 1: work through this. Has helped it helped this gay couple.
Speaker 1: It was so cute. My god, I love her. I
Speaker 1: also love I love that the show. I love she
Speaker 1: speaks in Japanese, which I love. I love that. It's like,
Speaker 1: you're going to watch subtitles. We're not like forcing this.
Speaker 1: It feels very like an Unamerican thing to let foreign
Speaker 1: person just speak their native tongue in a popular show.
Speaker 1: You know what. It also feels very Unamerican about it,
Speaker 1: Like the week it came out last week, like all
Speaker 1: these people I was talking to, all these people I
Speaker 1: was talking to, were like, it just feels like it
Speaker 1: just feels like it's it's the same thing over and
Speaker 1: over again. There's no conflict. I'm like, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's very British. It's British. It's very Asian for this
Speaker 1: thing to be like, you're just going to watch these
Speaker 1: people improve their lives and not put up a fight.
Speaker 1: They're just going to be like, oh yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: as easy as folding your clothes specific way and putting
Speaker 1: it somewhere else and like putting our papers in a box. Great,
Speaker 1: and then like that's it and they're happier. Yeah, Americans
Speaker 1: love to be traumatized by television, and I get and
Speaker 1: that's me, Like, I love that's me. I love to
Speaker 1: be absolutely traumatized every time I watched TV. But it's
Speaker 1: a nice reprieve. Do you like trauma? Trauma is going
Speaker 1: to be big and it's going to feel great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love like hard dramas. TNT we know trauma? You
Speaker 1: just asked trauma welcome. Do you like trauma? Are you
Speaker 1: a fan of trauma? Do you like comedy, drama or trauma?
Speaker 1: I'm actually writing a new hour long trauma. I'm writing
Speaker 1: a trauma traumama. Yes, it's where you really dig deep
Speaker 1: and then write like a whole show about your butt
Speaker 1: hole for no reason. Why aren't you guys going to
Speaker 1: have kids? Who says we don't? Oh, we had kids together,
Speaker 1: and that was the first part of the collaboration. We said,
Speaker 1: if we're going to do this, we need to have
Speaker 1: created something first. You know. I'm in this place now
Speaker 1: where I saw I saw my sister with with my
Speaker 1: beautiful niece, and I was like, niece, gorgeous niece, but
Speaker 1: one of the top five nieces. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: think I want this. I literally the other day decided
Speaker 1: I didn't want children. What was the deciding factor for you? Okay?
Speaker 1: I watched like a parent and his son run across
Speaker 1: the street and the sun like accidentally, like ran a
Speaker 1: little bit in front of his dad, and his dad
Speaker 1: knocked him over and the kid blopped on the ground,
Speaker 1: and the dad did that thing of like freaking out
Speaker 1: because he thought the kid might have been hurt, but
Speaker 1: the kid was absolutely fine, and then he freaked the
Speaker 1: kid out and the kids started screaming, and I was like, God,
Speaker 1: I can't do this because I'd be knocking my kid
Speaker 1: over all the dude off fucking day, Get out of
Speaker 1: my Yeah, I'm going where I'm going. You never walk
Speaker 1: in front of a star. No, don't walk in front
Speaker 1: of the Yeah. That's the thing is, it's like I
Speaker 1: would want my kid to have their daddy be a star. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like really crazy that if I
Speaker 1: have kids, they're parents will work in entertainment. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have if I had kids, Like, I
Speaker 1: just feel like parents are supposed to be like accountants
Speaker 1: and lawyers and like actuaries, which is like what my
Speaker 1: dad did, like a very boring job that I never
Speaker 1: could describe or understand, and the fact that if I
Speaker 1: have kids, they're going to have to be like my
Speaker 1: parents are, like writers or whatever. It makes me feel
Speaker 1: sick to my that's interesting. My dad does most fatal murder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad. My dad actually hosts the Onion podcast, which
Speaker 1: is in its um fiftieth season, and he makes a
Speaker 1: million dollars a second. But that's my dad, you know.
Speaker 1: And yet you still try for baby. Yeah, I'm constant
Speaker 1: trying right now. We're trying in this whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're doing that thing of like trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: make it, make it get there and make it swim.
Speaker 1: I saw lot who's talking? I know that when you
Speaker 1: have sex and animated sperm swim one of the great songs,
Speaker 1: A classic. I've never seen it either. Well, it has
Speaker 1: a disgusting animation. It's really bad. Inception what they call it.
Speaker 1: They call it when you get pregnant, a neebrious inception,
Speaker 1: not pejorative. Ned and Ethan. Oh no, this is really.
Speaker 1: Are you guys married, engaged? Maybe something has been together.
Speaker 1: We've been together for like three and a half year.
Speaker 1: You don't think you want to get married? Beautiful or
Speaker 1: very joy Yeah? Blue, Yeah, that was all about not
Speaker 1: wanting to get married. Um, yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: definitely want I like love kids, and I often see
Speaker 1: kids and I want them like hypothetically, but if I
Speaker 1: actually check in with like the nitty gritty of what
Speaker 1: have a kid would be. And I have nieces and
Speaker 1: I love hanging out with him and then giving them back,
Speaker 1: and I think that's enough. I told Sudi. I was like,
Speaker 1: I I will be like the very fun uncle of
Speaker 1: your kid. Because we were talking about this the other night.
Speaker 1: We were all hanging out, me, Bone and Sudie. We're
Speaker 1: watching TV and we were saying, like, I told that
Speaker 1: story about how I watched this kid got knocked over
Speaker 1: by his dad and like, dealing with that emotional situation
Speaker 1: is not something I'm wanting. And it's like I feel
Speaker 1: like now, like I'll be twenty nine, Like I think
Speaker 1: at some point if I if I really wanted kids,
Speaker 1: like I would have started thinking about it more. And
Speaker 1: Sudi is someone who's always known she's wanted the children.
Speaker 1: It's like like either no, deep down in your heart
Speaker 1: you want them, or you don't. Yeah, there's there's that
Speaker 1: Nikki Glazer joke that I think it's really funny where
Speaker 1: she's like everyone wants a kid, but like you need
Speaker 1: to tell people that, like, yeah, that cute baby is
Speaker 1: just gonna be like a guy named Doug, like like
Speaker 1: like that's the reason why the why we exist is
Speaker 1: because their parents were like, we want a kid, we
Speaker 1: want a baby, we want to baby, but they just
Speaker 1: become a shitty adult. But then you just you don't
Speaker 1: realize that a dog, yeah yeah, but then like but
Speaker 1: then like most babies become like dogs. But isn't that
Speaker 1: really there's something real about that where it's like you're
Speaker 1: putting out a life into the world and then like
Speaker 1: that you're so responsible for the way that that person
Speaker 1: moves through it. It's like, or your baby could grow
Speaker 1: up to become Glenn Close, Oh my god, can you imagine?
Speaker 1: That's like always the anti abortion people though, they're always
Speaker 1: like what if that? What if your kid grew up
Speaker 1: to be like could win a Golden Globe for the wife?
Speaker 1: Your kid could cure cancer or win a globe. I
Speaker 1: would love to have a son who is obsessed with me,
Speaker 1: though I think you're going to I would love a Gayson.
Speaker 1: You would want a ges No, I said, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this isn't family. This is the family. The families don't
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I wouldn't want a gay son, No,
Speaker 1: I would love any sort of child um who was
Speaker 1: obsessed with me. Yes, Now, I truly think we would
Speaker 1: all make great parents. I think I would a child together,
Speaker 1: you guys. I think I would be a good father.
Speaker 1: But it's you know, it would just mean a lot
Speaker 1: of sacrifice, of course. Yeah. But there's this thing too,
Speaker 1: with with Chiel saying it's like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's fair for the kid, for us, for us to
Speaker 1: be like we are, we're fucking idiots and where we
Speaker 1: we we make father and I yea your father and
Speaker 1: I we we make our we make a living, like
Speaker 1: just sticking around and being on podcasts. Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: that we're going to be making our living off of intent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, this is this is this is no
Speaker 1: hope for the future. Everything anyone has said, a friend,
Speaker 1: my court is going to be, you know, struggling forever.
Speaker 1: Here's son. Here's the most successful thing I did when
Speaker 1: I when I've been doing comedy. It's called Hottest Female
Speaker 1: up in Houville. I think about that song everything. It's
Speaker 1: so good, so good. But I was just thinking about
Speaker 1: the fact that like having to explain to my offspring
Speaker 1: that I was doing maybe they'd be proud. Maybe I'd
Speaker 1: have to the coolest, most alternative kids. All kids are
Speaker 1: obsessed with Grinch jokes. All kids I'm thinking about getting
Speaker 1: into the alt kid world. They've got their finger on
Speaker 1: the pulse. Yeah, kids are so cool now, Like that's
Speaker 1: the thing is, I feel like the generational divide between
Speaker 1: us and our kids is going to be like somehow
Speaker 1: even further than our parents and us, because they will
Speaker 1: have grown up with the Internet and they're going to
Speaker 1: be so cool and they're going to make us feel
Speaker 1: um shitty about being so old but mean while we're
Speaker 1: the ones where we think ghosts. Yeah, Like isn't it
Speaker 1: crazy because it's like all our lives, we thought we
Speaker 1: were the ones who were like the most advanced. It's
Speaker 1: just like how it happens with every generation. But it's
Speaker 1: like in terms of technological advancements, like I thought we
Speaker 1: were the ones who were like at the front line.
Speaker 1: And also like acknowledging the fact that we aren't the
Speaker 1: people who are like up to date with like what's
Speaker 1: going on in technology right now. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like like or acknowledging you're out of touching anyway, like
Speaker 1: the fact that like like we did. We were at
Speaker 1: Seek Treatments show last night and they have this whole
Speaker 1: bit like what's post Malone? Like I don't know what
Speaker 1: post Malon is, but you know who does millions? And
Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to think famously very young.
Speaker 1: I saw it into the Spider Verse, so I know,
Speaker 1: so did I And I felt like a kid, like
Speaker 1: an old kid, and like their YouTube stars who like
Speaker 1: have who make millions of dollars a year and I've
Speaker 1: never heard of them. It's really it's really spooky to
Speaker 1: be so old. It is absolutely no, I really do I.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying, though, I think it's very true.
Speaker 1: Did you find out what post Malogne is singer? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like this one person I thought it was. He's
Speaker 1: kind of a lot of face tattoos. Yeah. I liked
Speaker 1: his song that was in into the Spider Verse though,
Speaker 1: oh what ahead of go? It's Sunflower. It's the one
Speaker 1: that sounds like m I A paper Planes but is not.
Speaker 1: That's fun. Yeah, that sounds good And I loved into
Speaker 1: the Spider verse. I did too. It was like cool,
Speaker 1: it was really really fucking beautiful. I want to ask
Speaker 1: you guys a question. So there was a Stone article
Speaker 1: which was the number like the top one hundred most
Speaker 1: influential songs of um U two thousand two now pop
Speaker 1: songs or like any genre. What do you think was
Speaker 1: number one? Like the number one most respect And it
Speaker 1: was like a rolling Stone article and it was like,
Speaker 1: um they they asked music journalists and musicians and everyone
Speaker 1: in the music industry, like they all voted and what
Speaker 1: do you think the number one? It was pop, R
Speaker 1: and B country, like it was all songs that have
Speaker 1: come out as like major releases and like since the
Speaker 1: year two thousand, didn't this song Outcast was up there,
Speaker 1: but it was paper Planes was really up there to
Speaker 1: paper Planes, and and there was I think, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're both in the top five. Yeah, yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: was it Hit Me Baby one More Time? No? It
Speaker 1: was crazy in Love. I said, that actually is a
Speaker 1: really good because even ther donut like it's iconic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that song. Isn't it where you that? That
Speaker 1: was her very first single and yet it kind of
Speaker 1: pretty much still is her most iconic song. That I
Speaker 1: think it is. Well, I mean, in terms of this article,
Speaker 1: they say it is, and I think that if if
Speaker 1: you were to announce you would kid kids would say Formation,
Speaker 1: which was also on the list. They'd be like, I've
Speaker 1: never heard of Crazy and Love. Yeah, a really alter kid,
Speaker 1: A really annoying answer to that question will be someone
Speaker 1: that's like irreplaceable. No one would say No. People would,
Speaker 1: and they would do it to be annoying. Like a
Speaker 1: lot of people, especially real question number forty, A lot
Speaker 1: of people are really annoying and they would say things
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, maybe it's just like that, what
Speaker 1: year did Crazy and Love come out? I just two thousand? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I feel really nostalgic for like that.
Speaker 1: It was so great to do. Yeah, growing up during
Speaker 1: nine eleven was really cool. It was so great to
Speaker 1: be a thirteen year old post nine eleven. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go around. Where were you when When I've told
Speaker 1: my nine eleven story about how I demanded my mom
Speaker 1: take me to the I told her I was like,
Speaker 1: I thought she took me out of class early because
Speaker 1: we were going to knew how excited I was because
Speaker 1: I've been talking about it for weeks and the Glitter
Speaker 1: album had come out that day, and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: They were like Matt Rogers for earlier, just Missle and
Speaker 1: I was like, that's weird. And my teacher was like,
Speaker 1: uh huh. And I went downstairs and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not so we could go to Glitter. This
Speaker 1: was this was before it was nine eleven, It was
Speaker 1: after the It was after both had hit, and my
Speaker 1: mom came to get me and I told this on
Speaker 1: the pod. This is the little hole I'm gonna poke. Um.
Speaker 1: They didn't just dismiss all of you guys know we
Speaker 1: were not No, that's not the way they and on
Speaker 1: Long Long Island. And they also didn't tell the kids
Speaker 1: that had happened. Yeah, they had the same thing and
Speaker 1: you were released. You got they got out of early.
Speaker 1: They didn't tell us, but they were like everyone goes sick.
Speaker 1: I found out because I went upstairs. I had banned
Speaker 1: class and I left my trumpet in my home room
Speaker 1: and so I go up and then the TV was on.
Speaker 1: No one was in the room, but it was people
Speaker 1: running away from from the second tower being hit. And
Speaker 1: then I just was like, oh my god, something is happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my God, they did not tell us that. That
Speaker 1: was like a controversial thing that people were talking about
Speaker 1: in the weeks afterwards. That was like whether or not
Speaker 1: they should have let everyone know, But the fact of
Speaker 1: the they didn't want to say anything over the loudspeaker
Speaker 1: because because honestly, I was from the island and it's
Speaker 1: very possible that someone could have had someone that worked there,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because then then you panic
Speaker 1: the kids, you know what I mean. And I think
Speaker 1: that is the right thing. I think it was the
Speaker 1: right call. That is true. Yeah, they didn't tell us,
Speaker 1: but then everyone was like I heard, because we weren't
Speaker 1: like on lockdown, and they were like, I heard that
Speaker 1: there's a dead body in the dumpster outside of school,
Speaker 1: And then everyone was gossiping about that. So then when
Speaker 1: we all found out what really was happening, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's so shitty that everybody was getting excited about a
Speaker 1: dead body outside the school and really it was so
Speaker 1: much work. Um yeah that I'm sorry. I can't believe.
Speaker 1: That feels actually like I'm in hell. Well it is
Speaker 1: time for I don't think I don't think they're so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, is our little segment that
Speaker 1: we do UM to take one minute to rant aget
Speaker 1: something in pop culture UM that we hate. And Last
Speaker 1: Culture is going on tour with I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: Tickets are on sale now online. You can go to
Speaker 1: my website under the show's page, and also the Last
Speaker 1: Culture is this page Matt Rogers Comedy dot com to
Speaker 1: get tickets to um our shows because we do not
Speaker 1: have a website. And that's cool, and that's cool. It's
Speaker 1: really niche of us to not have a website or
Speaker 1: or a place where you can essentially go to UM
Speaker 1: find us. Okay, I actually have a thing I could do. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is Matt Rodgers is I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: As time starts now, I don't think so honey that
Speaker 1: you can't eat before you go to bed. That's when
Speaker 1: it feels the best. And that's what I'm the hungry at.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I wake up at
Speaker 1: roughly to thirty pm every day and I am not hungry, honey.
Speaker 1: So that means my lunch happens at about seven and
Speaker 1: then am I eating dinner at eleven thirty pm roughly?
Speaker 1: And that is also when I smoke, so I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey, that smoking makes you so hungry, and
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey the whole situation, because I
Speaker 1: feel that that's when it feels. The best to be
Speaker 1: full is when you can eat a lot and then
Speaker 1: lay down in your little bed and make yourself so
Speaker 1: warm and feeling warm and full are a great combination
Speaker 1: and also high. So this is what the only things
Speaker 1: I like to be together. But now guess what is
Speaker 1: turning on me? My body. So I have been in
Speaker 1: the gym and unfortunately, um, it is incredibly difficult to
Speaker 1: lose that little tiny moment in the belly because I
Speaker 1: have no impulse control and I don't want to do
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey that my body is um
Speaker 1: not eighteen. And that's one minute. I'm just saying it's
Speaker 1: funked up that you can't eat before you go to bed.
Speaker 1: That you can, but it's not good for you, right,
Speaker 1: It sucks that, Like the actual best thing to do
Speaker 1: for your body is like stop eating at seven, because
Speaker 1: the most luxurious time to eat is like midnight. And
Speaker 1: you know many places in Europe they eat their sana
Speaker 1: very late at night. Spain Las Sena in Spain, we
Speaker 1: were taught that culturally they have like a large dinner
Speaker 1: at like ten pm. Yeah. We I just went to
Speaker 1: Spain this year last year, and we would make reservations
Speaker 1: at eight thirty, being like we're very Pian and then
Speaker 1: get there and there the restaurant and the culture very late.
Speaker 1: It's like at five o'clock the restaurants are like all
Speaker 1: German tourists, and then at eight it's all, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: When are they going to get the national news flash
Speaker 1: that that's not good for them? I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: their bodies are just like evolved. Have you been eating?
Speaker 1: I've been eating late at night onle thirties. I've been
Speaker 1: trying not to. You know. What was the real kicker
Speaker 1: for me was when we know what you say? Was
Speaker 1: when we postmate we had was when we postmated McDonald
Speaker 1: That was the best. That was my best idea. At
Speaker 1: one in the morning, we were we were at have
Speaker 1: you heard of Christmas? And then we were like, I
Speaker 1: haven't eaten? Yeah, And then you guys left that bag
Speaker 1: of McDonald's up in the Duke books you Oh no,
Speaker 1: that was me and I threw it out. People drag
Speaker 1: Queen was making fun of it. Fat bitch, the drag
Speaker 1: queen was like her name was. I thought she was
Speaker 1: called that's that's that's from dirty rock. That was that was.
Speaker 1: That was under Tracy Jordan's movies. He played a dog. Well,
Speaker 1: we got stuck in a drug show and then I
Speaker 1: left really fast, and I did leave the McDonald's and
Speaker 1: I was left to deal with the bag. It was
Speaker 1: a bag full of my dignity. I just want to
Speaker 1: eat McDonald's again. Well, last time I did Lost Culture,
Speaker 1: we were eating chicken. Honestly, we ate the whole episode long,
Speaker 1: and I famously hate when we eat yang chomps and slumps. Right, wait,
Speaker 1: are chicken? There's absolutely no way. Oh my god, they're made.
Speaker 1: They're made of which this whole thirty underwears whole thirtyes
Speaker 1: so is garbage. Okay, well, if you say so, it's
Speaker 1: time for Bowen yangs. I don't think so, honey, Bowen yangs.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. On this episode with the
Speaker 1: friends who folk this time starts now, I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Lip bomb, lip bomb. You are trash and it's it
Speaker 1: should just be the same across the fucking board. And
Speaker 1: yet we have all these different types of lip bomb,
Speaker 1: give me birds bees. That should be the one and
Speaker 1: the only. I don't need all this other chapstick, medicated chapstick,
Speaker 1: high intensity moisture. Bitch. It is all a graft for
Speaker 1: marketing and I see it, Bit, Big lip Bomb, I
Speaker 1: am going to destroy you this year in I'm taking
Speaker 1: down Big lip Bomb. I'm releasing my own line of
Speaker 1: lip bomb. And it is unbranded. It's just one kind
Speaker 1: of lip bomb. There's no variety. It's the one that
Speaker 1: works for everybody because all lips are the same. Say
Speaker 1: it with me, stop now, if you are gonna if
Speaker 1: I will start, I will actually start a go fund
Speaker 1: me to make a new lip bomb that is the
Speaker 1: Bang lip Bomb. And I I bet you can bet
Speaker 1: your as that I will have a list this year.
Speaker 1: I think that you should have the Boone Yang lip bomb.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna have my Fragrance Gayson by my Gayson
Speaker 1: and then and don't you have like an ad for this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be an ad for my Fragrance. I
Speaker 1: love that you don't understand them, but you can smell
Speaker 1: like him. What is the scent um? It smells like weed?
Speaker 1: And come, oh my God, Okay, that was fabulous. I
Speaker 1: don't know, though, I I feel like I see you
Speaker 1: use lip bomb, but that's also probably why you feel
Speaker 1: I love lip bomb. I think the marketing around it
Speaker 1: is insane and there shouldn't be so many different varieties
Speaker 1: when all lips are the same. Okay, this is we're gon,
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Rachel and then we're gonna end
Speaker 1: with I thought a lot about this is. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Her time starts now. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Stools um, stools are like the evil
Speaker 1: bitch step cousin of chairs, which are a far superior
Speaker 1: genre of sitting furniture. I have a big, gifted and
Speaker 1: talented ass and it simply does not fit on a stool.
Speaker 1: Is not comfortable. There. Ten minutes into sitting on a stool,
Speaker 1: my ass is going, no, thank you. I love couches, sofas,
Speaker 1: chess lounge, fainting couch. Oh yes, stools, no, you know
Speaker 1: what my ass makes stools. Stools is another one for ship.
Speaker 1: For me, shit is a yes. But fortunately stools no
Speaker 1: stools are terrorism. I'll say it. I'll say it now.
Speaker 1: Making a fat bitch stools is that gifted and talented
Speaker 1: as big Listen, you are incredibly fecal, and I think
Speaker 1: that woman have a lot That was actually a line
Speaker 1: in night soap. You vile fecal woman. I do feel
Speaker 1: that way. Well, that's good that you feel this way.
Speaker 1: To be clear for everyone listening, though, if anyone ever
Speaker 1: overheard me shitting, I would be fucking mortified. Oh if
Speaker 1: you ever want to get over someone, listen to them pop.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's easy. If you ever want to
Speaker 1: get over across, just realize that they have poops. They
Speaker 1: have pops, and you're not gonna want to get their
Speaker 1: butt anymore after that, because I think about eating on
Speaker 1: the butt, size says, I think about positive and I
Speaker 1: can't believe that. I don't now your issue with stools
Speaker 1: that they don't have backs is that the main thing
Speaker 1: they don't have backs, which is so uncomfortable. Could go
Speaker 1: off queens. I love to go off on stools. I'm
Speaker 1: five but eight. If my feet don't have anywhere to
Speaker 1: go on a stool, your stool too tall, Dragon sane.
Speaker 1: The tall stools are the craziest. There's no practical reason.
Speaker 1: And I slouch so badly, and there's just no feasible
Speaker 1: way to not slouch on, Like, it's so much effort
Speaker 1: to sit up straight on a stool that doesn't have
Speaker 1: a back, And then if your stool does have a back,
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck you, why don't you just make a chair?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. People who sit up straight on stools
Speaker 1: are insane. Their cops, they're cops. They are Thank you, Rachel.
Speaker 1: That was really important with you, that was really important.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to live my life in a way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. Okay, Now this is Ned's I don't think
Speaker 1: they read yes, and I don't think I've never I'm
Speaker 1: ready Ned's debut, I don't think so, honey. As time
Speaker 1: starts now, I don't think so, honey. The masked singer,
Speaker 1: what is it? Why does it exist? You're hiding someone
Speaker 1: in a Liberaci animal costume, and then once they take
Speaker 1: off the costume and reveal their identity, I still don't
Speaker 1: know who the are. No one wanted to know what
Speaker 1: it would feel like if Donnie Darko could sing Living
Speaker 1: Levita Lokar? Are we that starved for ways to distract
Speaker 1: ourselves from the slow death of civilization that we have
Speaker 1: to pour millions of dollars into a kinky parlor game
Speaker 1: for struggling celebrities. Jenny McCarthy is an anti vax or.
Speaker 1: Hannon said he is a proud of how Kevin Hart
Speaker 1: handled the Oscars controversy. Robin Thick made blurred lines. How
Speaker 1: did this happen? The Masked Singer can only have been
Speaker 1: created by people who are deeply sexually unfulfilled. The people
Speaker 1: who created the Masked Singer furries resisting their kink, and
Speaker 1: it's going to ruin their lives. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: the Masked Singer. I will probably watch it at some
Speaker 1: point and enjoy it. Take then by the thrill of garade,
Speaker 1: I will wait out the apocalypse watching Mr Bean emerged
Speaker 1: from an energizer bunny costume. Very good, very good. We
Speaker 1: just watched The Singer last night for the first time,
Speaker 1: and we discussed it on another And it actually is
Speaker 1: the dumb It's actually bad. You want it, you want
Speaker 1: to like it for how bad it is. But I
Speaker 1: kind of loved it though it is Rachel, you idiot,
Speaker 1: very famously. I have bad taste too, and I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: like even I couldn't get an I liked it, but
Speaker 1: I was also like, this genuinely feels like I wish
Speaker 1: that they unmasked the singer and then murdered them in
Speaker 1: front of an audience. That feels like it feels on game.
Speaker 1: It feels like the Hunger Games, So why not go
Speaker 1: the extra mile? Exactly like I want to see the
Speaker 1: b Lister get brutally murder. The judges are in saying
Speaker 1: I can't believe Robin McCarthy, So, um, I were right
Speaker 1: off the slope. We're recording this in January, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like maybe by maybe by next month, it'll
Speaker 1: feel like it'll get to a different cultural place, but
Speaker 1: like right now, it feels truly insane. The way they
Speaker 1: guess is so funny too, because they're like, I'm sensing
Speaker 1: like Beyonce, Yeah, they guess last night, where I was
Speaker 1: like they're not. Oh, someone was like it's Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1: I know it. I'm like, it's like he just sang
Speaker 1: for us, and it's like, you know that's not right now.
Speaker 1: I would love them, Like if people like Jimmy Buffett,
Speaker 1: I'd be like if it was They do this whole
Speaker 1: bit with clues where they give out clue it's a
Speaker 1: package do you think one of them is LaToya Jackson,
Speaker 1: and I think one of them is Ricky Lake. I
Speaker 1: was also reading, I was reading rumors that that one
Speaker 1: of them is Tory spelling me a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me. We love this show. We're going to we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about it though. It will be a
Speaker 1: topic of conversation. It's going to be water cooler talking
Speaker 1: because it's it's and it's going to be a textbooks
Speaker 1: someday as the friends Ferdinand assassination, yea world. Well, they're
Speaker 1: dressed like France for I just can't believe the costumes.
Speaker 1: The costumes are insane. I think they're stunning. There's one,
Speaker 1: there's one they are. There's a rumor that Margaret Show
Speaker 1: is one of them. What it's like the pink pooding singing,
Speaker 1: so you know who knows she does sing? She's she's
Speaker 1: I mean, she's got she's booking work though. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: that's on the mask and it's on the masks finger.
Speaker 1: She's on high maintenance. She's got a thing coming out.
Speaker 1: She's not they're working. I mean, all this being said, like,
Speaker 1: I'd absolutely love to write a packet and do like
Speaker 1: get staffed on the Masked Singers. Oh yeah, season two
Speaker 1: writers to do on that show. Yeah, um, well, there
Speaker 1: we go. We've had all of her. I don't think
Speaker 1: so Honey's were discussed the Messinger. We've had so much culture.
Speaker 1: We found out neds um culture and it's time. And
Speaker 1: we've heard three songs, including one world debut, which they
Speaker 1: call a song the first time that you do it
Speaker 1: on the first time we do a podcast, it's a world.
Speaker 1: We've created new words, which is something that we do
Speaker 1: at last. Culture is that's in us is now on
Speaker 1: the cultural lexicon, and we've created many many cultural movements
Speaker 1: and new rules. And now I think that we are
Speaker 1: left with no choice but to hear one more song
Speaker 1: from the friends who Folk. But before we get into this,
Speaker 1: where when are you guys performing? What the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? So we try to do a roughly monthly
Speaker 1: show at Union Hall in New York City. Baby, Um,
Speaker 1: I believe we have a show. The next show after
Speaker 1: this airs will be March seventh at eight pm at
Speaker 1: Union Hall. And we also do have an album and
Speaker 1: an Instagram. We're trying to get like we're trying to
Speaker 1: be on stage more on the internet. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, yeah, you should be more pictures. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is all about pictures. I agree, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Um well, tell us a little bit about this song
Speaker 1: and then take us into it. Um So, this song
Speaker 1: is about being in love making promises someone you love.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I haven't been the same since I met you,
Speaker 1: and I forget my own name when I am with you,
Speaker 1: and I will love you till I die, and when
Speaker 1: I die. I have a very simple request. Make sure
Speaker 1: the Minions do a dance at my funeral. Make sure
Speaker 1: the minions do a dance at my funeral. Make sure

Speaker 1: you of what I always wanted. Insist that the Minions
Speaker 1: do a dance at my funeral. In is that the
Speaker 1: minions do it andce at my funeral, and if they refuse,

Speaker 1: a show, but I know that the Minions are action minias.
Speaker 1: The dance can be super simple. I don't want the
Speaker 1: millions to have to learn corrio. It's mostly just armed stuff.
