Speaker 6: Oh he's are you involve, Ladies and gentlemen. Kurt Brown oller, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 4: I am so excited to hear that the refrigerator arrived.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Have been thinking about this refrigerator since you mentioned it
Speaker 4: a lot of Scotti's episode, I think, and what was it,
Speaker 4: nine weeks?
Speaker 3: Eight? Nine weeks?
Speaker 5: I don't have a lot of new things to talk about, Kurt.
Speaker 4: I like that when you called about it, there was
Speaker 4: a chicken in the background, and once you get it,
Speaker 4: you're just like, I don't you know what it's going
Speaker 4: to come when it comes.
Speaker 5: At all most calls I've made, there was some sort
Speaker 5: of a bird in the background, be it parrot, be
Speaker 5: it rooster, be it clucking chicken.
Speaker 3: People are at home and people have.
Speaker 1: Birds, and you're blessed. You're blessed with birds.
Speaker 5: I am blessed with the ability to speak with birds,
Speaker 5: to communicate with birds, and to relate.
Speaker 1: Call them on the phone.
Speaker 6: Yes, now you told me privately, I don't know if
Speaker 6: you want to share this with Kurt, but that this
Speaker 6: refrigerator is slightly shorter than your average then you expected,
Speaker 6: or then your average refrigerator.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if there was anything immediately disappointing about it, it
Speaker 5: is that it's about it's just shy of four feet tall.
Speaker 6: Would you say, maybe it's a child Is it a
Speaker 6: child only?
Speaker 5: And now I have to show it to you, and
Speaker 5: I anticipated this, so I have myself on a tray
Speaker 5: kind of like Steven you's doing the back of the car,
Speaker 5: so I'm able to be mobile.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: And uh okay, oh we go.
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh.
Speaker 3: It's definitely small.
Speaker 5: So you can see it doesn't even reach shoulder height.
Speaker 5: But I must remind you I'm a single man, I'm childless,
Speaker 5: and uh, it holds the exact amount of food I
Speaker 5: require to only nourish myself.
Speaker 1: Perfect Just a bunch of beef jerky in there.
Speaker 5: Just single s, you know, me beef jerky, mountain dul
Speaker 5: and my cooled off video gaming gloves.
Speaker 4: I like, after all of that research people going to
Speaker 4: trips to actual places in Saint Louis, there was never
Speaker 4: an inquiry into the dimensions of.
Speaker 5: The actual Briefly read over said dimensions and it said
Speaker 5: the refrigerator is seven cubic feet and I just read
Speaker 5: it as seven feet tall.
Speaker 1: Shit, that's huge. I love a huge refrigerator.
Speaker 3: So it's the Cadillac.
Speaker 5: It's the in size as well as quality. But no,
Speaker 5: it is basically a dorm fridge or something all keep once.
Speaker 3: I have a garage where I work on.
Speaker 5: Classic cars, because you both know I'm a bit of
Speaker 5: a gear heads.
Speaker 3: It's taller.
Speaker 1: It's not a dorm fridge in the way that it
Speaker 1: clearly is.
Speaker 6: What it makes me think of is how clothes and
Speaker 6: vintage stores are all kind of smaller, Like when the fifties,
Speaker 6: people were smaller than we are now because of of course,
Speaker 6: the bovine human growth hormone or whatever it's called. So
Speaker 6: it almost is like or you know, little people from
Speaker 6: the fifties.
Speaker 5: Exactly, and it makes me want to get an old
Speaker 5: stove oven. I don't know if it's called a snover
Speaker 5: or an oven, but it does both, and to go
Speaker 5: next to it, because frankly, I think that was the
Speaker 5: first thought when this arrived. I'm like refrigerators, my whole
Speaker 5: life have been too big. This is the correct size.
Speaker 4: You're just going to get All of your appliances are
Speaker 4: going to start getting smaller.
Speaker 6: Sent from further and further away this time, get a
Speaker 6: stove from Italy, the mountains of Italy.
Speaker 5: I don't know where this fridge was manufactured, but it
Speaker 5: took again three months, you know, it took some breaks
Speaker 5: on a few docks throughout the United States, but it
Speaker 5: finally arrived and I'm so happy.
Speaker 3: And I just thought i'd open with that because people
Speaker 3: have been asking Karen.
Speaker 1: Of course they have, Chris, because.
Speaker 3: I won't stop talking about it.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating information.
Speaker 5: So now, Kurt, is there anything in your life lately
Speaker 5: that would top the excitement?
Speaker 4: This is a true challenge of this retro yeah, there's
Speaker 4: one thing, okay, and I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I don't. It's not a competition.
Speaker 1: We know that, certainly is. This is a podcast.
Speaker 3: Everything is a competition.
Speaker 4: I put up an indoor camping hammock last week or
Speaker 4: two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Did you know that? I'm not even sure what that is,
Speaker 3: but did you know it's right up my alley? Yes?
Speaker 4: First off, I know it's right Uparely and Chris, you
Speaker 4: and I haven't really hung out before. Karen, we've hung
Speaker 4: out before. We'rebuds. But I feel like just from seeing
Speaker 4: your Instagram, like, oh, Chris and I would be very
Speaker 4: good friends if we hung out, and if people if
Speaker 4: people did friendships anymore, which we.
Speaker 1: Write the old way, we call it the old way.
Speaker 3: Well, I know a one on one zoom and invite.
Speaker 5: When I hear one, we'll show our stuff. Do you
Speaker 5: have an outdoor themed area where this hammock is? No,
Speaker 5: this is an indoor hand door.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: I like installed these like massive hooks into the wall
Speaker 4: so you could have and it's like removable. So when
Speaker 4: you don't want a hammock, you don't have a hammock.
Speaker 4: And then when you want a hammock, you have a hammock.
Speaker 3: So you had to find studs. Oh I found studs.
Speaker 1: Pal, Did you get a stud finder?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I had, I had one already.
Speaker 1: Guy, what she's a real dad.
Speaker 4: I'm a dad when I had a child. It actually
Speaker 4: they gave me one at the hospital. So now do
Speaker 4: you speaking? Do you.
Speaker 3: Do you use the.
Speaker 5: Pure, the the the original magnetic stud finder or do
Speaker 5: you have one of these electronic stud finders?
Speaker 4: I have the newest version you could which like tells you,
Speaker 4: it like gets You're like you're getting hot, You're getting closer.
Speaker 5: You got closer, babe, It's like we're going away.
Speaker 3: Bye bye, bye bye. It's the best.
Speaker 5: You have to learn how to use it, but you
Speaker 5: have to start twelve inches away from where you want
Speaker 5: it to be.
Speaker 3: It's very it's kind of confusing.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, you know it's terrifying because especially when you're
Speaker 4: gonna put your child hanging from it. Yeah, to make
Speaker 4: sure that you're like in the right place.
Speaker 6: But I bet those children are or I don't know,
Speaker 6: children old enough to be, but an indoor hammock would
Speaker 6: be I would go insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I was little and got to do.
Speaker 4: That, right, it has already been taken down. I have
Speaker 4: permanently taken it down. I installed it. It lasted for
Speaker 4: seven days, and then I was I have just recently
Speaker 4: had I recently had my second of two knees operated on,
Speaker 4: and so I had recent knee surgery.
Speaker 3: And I was holding my son. My son is one.
Speaker 4: Years old and one year old really there's not many there,
Speaker 4: and I was just like it was in the morning time,
Speaker 4: and I was like moving about and I stepped over it,
Speaker 4: but then my foot got caught on it.
Speaker 3: Oh, and then we both went down.
Speaker 4: He hit his head's I fell landed on the knee
Speaker 4: I just had surgery on.
Speaker 3: It was awful.
Speaker 4: So like from the other room, my wife just hears
Speaker 4: like my boom, and I'm like.
Speaker 3: And then the baby's screaming and she runs in like
Speaker 3: what is it? What is it?
Speaker 4: I can't talk because I've in so much pain. I
Speaker 4: was like handing the baby. The baby was totally fine,
Speaker 4: just scared and nervous, but it was so immediately just
Speaker 4: like and this is done. It was a great six
Speaker 4: days with the indoor hammock.
Speaker 1: There's a reason they're outdoors. There's a reason that very
Speaker 1: good one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, horrifying, yeah, yeah, That's the thing is, when it's inside,
Speaker 4: you usually have to get to the other side of it,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what I mean. It was.
Speaker 5: It was the main plot for several Gillikins Island episodes
Speaker 5: is that hammocks are unpredictable.
Speaker 6: And banana cream pies are delicious and hilarious.
Speaker 3: That's the other yeah plot.
Speaker 6: Can I have a question, did you go down on
Speaker 6: the surgery knee to prevent more damage to the brand
Speaker 6: new baby?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, yes, it still was. It still was.
Speaker 4: You know, he still bunked his head, which was just
Speaker 4: fucking It's just terrifying. But yes, I was trying to
Speaker 4: get my body in between the floor and him.
Speaker 5: I'm sure you did your best, and I bet that
Speaker 5: head bonk would have been more severe had you not
Speaker 5: thrown your knee into the line of fire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I also wouldn't have existed if I hadn't
Speaker 4: put up a hammock.
Speaker 3: Hey, we can all be perfect fathers.
Speaker 6: You're like, look, both of my knees are going out
Speaker 6: and I have a very new baby. What do I
Speaker 6: need in this room? That what will add to this equation?
Speaker 1: How about it?
Speaker 5: Unpredictable, suspended sleeping apparatus. It is even in a backyard,
Speaker 5: it should be outline. We had a hammock in my
Speaker 5: backyard and my sister I would that's what every kid does.
Speaker 3: You wrap up in it like a cocoon and try
Speaker 3: and do.
Speaker 5: A full three sixty yes, and usually you end up
Speaker 5: launching into the nearby fence.
Speaker 3: So in the house it's even more dangerous.
Speaker 6: My Aunt Jenny and Uncle Brandy, where we would go
Speaker 6: to their house often in the summertime.
Speaker 4: You have an aunt, you have an aunt Jenny Jinny.
Speaker 4: I have an Aunt Jenny as well, and I've never
Speaker 4: heard of an aunt Jenny before, but continue, okay, it's
Speaker 4: and I drink a.
Speaker 1: Lot of brandy Ginny and Brandy. They had this.
Speaker 6: They lived way out in the country, so like wait,
Speaker 6: even further northern northern California than us, but then and
Speaker 6: they had this big ranch house and on their land.
Speaker 1: But then they had this.
Speaker 6: Huge pool, so like when you were in the pool
Speaker 6: and it was one of those setups. So we'd get
Speaker 6: to their house at noon and we'd all go jump
Speaker 6: in the pool and knock it out until nine o'clock
Speaker 6: at night, Like you'd have to yelled out to go
Speaker 6: eat your hot dog and get back in the pool,
Speaker 6: and your view like this way was a big old
Speaker 6: lawn and then their gravel driveway, so we always would
Speaker 6: have to get out to go to the bathroom and
Speaker 6: you'd have to walk across gravel because you'd never put
Speaker 6: your shoe off. And then the view this way was
Speaker 6: just open fields of you know, brown grass or whatever.
Speaker 1: It was a real country and it was really fun.
Speaker 1: What was the point.
Speaker 6: They had a hammock and it was bolted up between
Speaker 6: two big, old old trees. So we would do the
Speaker 6: three sixty thing, like if you could get your older
Speaker 6: boy cousins to come over. You had to hold on
Speaker 6: because it was like big thick ropey you know, hammock
Speaker 6: that kind of stayed wide all the time.
Speaker 1: It never went down. It was that like kind of
Speaker 1: like it was from a deserted island, and so you.
Speaker 6: Would like kind of hold on, like dig your fingers
Speaker 6: into the holes or whatever, and they.
Speaker 1: Would push you so much you would go up like that.
Speaker 6: No one ever went all the way around, but you
Speaker 6: would go up so high you had basically become perpendicular
Speaker 6: to the ground.
Speaker 1: It was pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: I only have good memories of that.
Speaker 1: Oh me too.
Speaker 4: I have a bad memory of it. It's a real
Speaker 4: bad memory of it. Yeah, right, it's a good memory
Speaker 4: otherwise there it is.
Speaker 6: I wonder if your son's going to have that where
Speaker 6: he sees hammocks and then he's like, oh no, don't
Speaker 6: get it away from me, Like just deep down.
Speaker 4: I still got at least a year before memories.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think memories start kicking in around two. Oh good, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're right.
Speaker 5: My oldest memory was around two years old. There was
Speaker 5: nothing before that, but I kept remembering that. I remembered it,
Speaker 5: so I still remember it.
Speaker 4: And I would when I first had alive my eldest
Speaker 4: who's only four or going to be four, but I
Speaker 4: was having all of these experiences with her before she
Speaker 4: was two, and sometimes I would just sit there night
Speaker 4: and I just start crying, and my wife be.
Speaker 3: Like, what are you crying about it? And I'd be like,
Speaker 3: I've had so much, so many amazing times with all
Speaker 3: of it. She won't remember any of it. I like that.
Speaker 4: It's sweet where it's just like this is so important
Speaker 4: to me that right now and to her it literally
Speaker 4: means no thing. There is no memory, of course, it's like,
Speaker 4: you know, her confidence and everything is built in this
Speaker 4: time and all that sort of stuff, but like, sure
Speaker 4: that bullshit of it gone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why that first year you can really be
Speaker 5: a distant dad if you want to be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's telling you something.
Speaker 1: You're like, uh huh, speed it along, let's go.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 5: I vividly remember being on my dad's shoulders and him
Speaker 5: running across the street with me up there and him
Speaker 5: tripping and somehow he did some diving role where I
Speaker 5: came out unscathed, but he totally hit the top of
Speaker 5: his head and I just immediately was like again again,
Speaker 5: I just it was the funnest ride ever. And I
Speaker 5: kind of remember that and again I had to be
Speaker 5: two years old. Yeah, nothing before that, All those baby
Speaker 5: years wasted.
Speaker 6: I think my earliest memory is, let's do that. Let's
Speaker 6: do a round of earliest memories.
Speaker 3: That's a good fun.
Speaker 6: My earliest memory is my dad holding me while we
Speaker 6: walked into the first house we lived in Pedalima.
Speaker 3: I believe this is.
Speaker 6: My first memory, and he was holding me and then
Speaker 6: going like this because there was cobwebs in the house
Speaker 6: because an old guy lived there. And then like sold
Speaker 6: it to my parents for almost nothing. He wanted a
Speaker 6: family to live in his house, and he didn't want
Speaker 6: his ex wife to get any money, so he sold
Speaker 6: it to my parents for like I think at the
Speaker 6: time it was like eleven thousand dollars or something insanely
Speaker 6: cheap or whatever.
Speaker 3: But he.
Speaker 6: Moved at whatever. There were cobwebs in the kitchen as
Speaker 6: he walked in. He was going like this and like
Speaker 6: knocking down the cobwebs of our new house.
Speaker 1: It's truly trippy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a scary memory.
Speaker 6: But it's daytime, so it wasn't like a haunted house
Speaker 6: I just met. It's kind of a dusty house.
Speaker 5: My earliest would be my parents took me to I
Speaker 5: had to be this is more like four years old, but.
Speaker 1: There was a n you said your your earliest was
Speaker 1: the earliest.
Speaker 5: It's it's interesting, but my dad brought me a little
Speaker 5: fire truck and we were in Monterey, so I had
Speaker 5: to be under two years old. We moved to Montana
Speaker 5: when I was a kid, and he I remember him
Speaker 5: setting this fire truck down. I remember him walking into
Speaker 5: the room silhouetted. There was a domed archway above the door,
Speaker 5: and he handed me this fire truck and it was
Speaker 5: my favorite little toy, you know, into my teen years.
Speaker 5: But I'm kidding, but more the better memory is this
Speaker 5: this friend of theirs had a kid and he was crawling,
Speaker 5: but his leg he had leg braces like metal and
Speaker 5: wood forrest gump leg braces, and he was crawling and
Speaker 5: his legs were these leg braces, and I was certain
Speaker 5: that he was part like a robot.
Speaker 3: Kid makes sense.
Speaker 5: He grew up to be totally normal and ran like
Speaker 5: the wind, but as a kid he had these leg
Speaker 5: braces and that was kind of my traumatic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that kid was Steven Prefontaine.
Speaker 4: Yes, he grew mustache and he ran like the wind
Speaker 4: for Nike. I'm trying to remember first memory, first memory.
Speaker 4: I think this is the only thing I can think of,
Speaker 4: is that it's and this is why I know it's
Speaker 4: too that I don't have any memories for too. My
Speaker 4: parents got divorce when I was two, and I have
Speaker 4: no memory of like living in Michigan, and then we
Speaker 4: moved back to New Jersey when I was two and
Speaker 4: my mom moved in with her uncle in Asbury Park and.
Speaker 3: He had this house.
Speaker 4: It's like very big house that was like super falling apart,
Speaker 4: and we lived in it, and I know all that,
Speaker 4: but I don't really remember, but I do remember being
Speaker 4: all the way up this house. Weirdly, this house was
Speaker 4: like falling apart, like in the seventies in Asbury Park.
Speaker 4: Asbury Park was not doing well at the time. And
Speaker 4: I say that because I'm about to say that I
Speaker 4: was in a perfectly round room with a spire because
Speaker 4: it had like a spire and like stained glass window
Speaker 4: on it, because it used to be Asbury Park used
Speaker 4: to be like this very wealthy town and then it
Speaker 4: just crashed hard and it was just like everything went
Speaker 4: to shit. And then now it's like been slowly kind
Speaker 4: of coming back. And I remember it was again a toy,
Speaker 4: but it was It was in one of those inflatable
Speaker 4: robots that then was remote controlled, so you had but
Speaker 4: the only remote control part was just the bottom part
Speaker 4: that would like move it back and forth, and the
Speaker 4: rest was just like an inflatable robot that like sat
Speaker 4: up on top of it. And it was like and
Speaker 4: remember seeing the light coming in through the stained glass
Speaker 4: window and hitting this robot and that's the end of
Speaker 4: the memory.
Speaker 5: Very similar to my cascading lights a light, that's what
Speaker 5: the impression anything that fires your rods and cones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it zaps you.
Speaker 5: Back there, your fresh brain brain, creating an upside down image.
Speaker 5: You have an inflatable robot, only to be flipped over
Speaker 5: by the mirror inside your eyeball. That's right, also works
Speaker 5: for cartoon pine trees.
Speaker 6: Interesting addition, my Aunt Jean, who lived next door to
Speaker 6: us in that house that we moved into, who was
Speaker 6: also friends with These are all non blood relatives, they're
Speaker 6: family friends. So Uncle Brandy and Aunt Jenny, Aunt Uncle
Speaker 6: Steve and Aunt Jane next door.
Speaker 1: Aunt Jean was from Asbury Park.
Speaker 6: Really she would go back there and visit her family
Speaker 6: and come back to California and bring us tasty cakes.
Speaker 1: And we were like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 6: We were like, this is so much better than everything
Speaker 6: we have available to us.
Speaker 4: Oh, I had no idea that tasty cakes were from
Speaker 4: the East Coast. But you know what's interesting is that
Speaker 4: there was there was a it was like a hut
Speaker 4: that was just on the outside of Asbury in Neptune,
Speaker 4: and it was a tasty cake hut that would sell
Speaker 4: somehow connected to the factory. They would all sell like
Speaker 4: the old Tasty Cakes were very cheap and we would
Speaker 4: always go there and everything was like a quarter because
Speaker 4: it was like about to expire, and that's where we
Speaker 4: always would get our tasty cakes from our tasty cakes
Speaker 4: kind of like Twinkies to where it's like that there's
Speaker 4: a say five to ten year window before it expires.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 4: But it also had like a variety of things. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was just a candy company or like a treat company.
Speaker 1: It was their version of Hostess, I believe, yes.
Speaker 6: So the tasty cakes that we first, I mean the
Speaker 6: thing we first had were tasty cakes, but they made other,
Speaker 6: uh child pastries.
Speaker 1: Whatever you call it.
Speaker 5: I make child pastry child baby for.
Speaker 1: The fancy baby in your in your family.
Speaker 6: But we just they I just remember her bringing them
Speaker 6: out in a box of like, kids, I brought you
Speaker 6: something too. We're just like because they looked like a
Speaker 6: version of Zingers, kind of like they had the frosting
Speaker 6: was kind of like raked, it seemed like on the top.
Speaker 1: But then they just it was just the quality was
Speaker 1: so much better.
Speaker 4: Oh see, that's the thing. Kids remember the toys and treats.
Speaker 4: So you ever want to impress a kid, which we
Speaker 4: all know it's toys and treats, but it's not like
Speaker 4: they're being shallow, which I always thought before I had kids,
Speaker 4: like these shallow kids care about toys treats, but it's
Speaker 4: really their world. Like that is what the memory will
Speaker 4: be of toys and treats.
Speaker 6: Because we can have the as adults whenever we want,
Speaker 6: and I often do too much. But when you're a kid,
Speaker 6: it's so meeted out to you at certain times or whatever.
Speaker 1: You're not in control.
Speaker 6: So then when you do get it, it's this fucking
Speaker 6: bonanza of like because my parents, strangely enough, they weren't
Speaker 6: like hippyish in any other way in the seventies, except
Speaker 6: they were like they didn't.
Speaker 1: Let us have like sugar cereal.
Speaker 6: They were very like at least amount of sugar as possible,
Speaker 6: natural peanut butter, which is the.
Speaker 3: Worst caribital carib and chocolate.
Speaker 6: We just didn't have chocolate at all unless it was
Speaker 6: a special occasion, which would then get us all keyed
Speaker 6: up for like Easter or whatever the thing was where
Speaker 6: then you were.
Speaker 1: Just like, this is the greatest. So it kind of
Speaker 1: a setup.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm I'm appreciative that I had parents that wouldn't
Speaker 5: let me have sugar. No why as an adult no cavities.
Speaker 5: I do a lot of bragging on this podcast.
Speaker 1: He doesn't give a shit.
Speaker 5: Not a single cavity. I've even asked a doctor or
Speaker 5: a dentist. They call themselves doctors, but they is there
Speaker 5: anything even close.
Speaker 3: To a cavity in my mouth?
Speaker 5: He'd say it, and usually they're in tears and they say,
Speaker 5: my teeth are impeccable.
Speaker 4: My parents, I had no sugar. I was like very
Speaker 4: similar Karen in the vat no sugar. And it was
Speaker 4: always like whole brand everything. All the food sucked right
Speaker 4: up until like I think it was just like fourth
Speaker 4: grade and then like the fucking dams just opened and
Speaker 4: then it was only junk food. It was just like
Speaker 4: I think my mom just was like broken. She was
Speaker 4: just like a single mom. You know, she was a
Speaker 4: pediatric nurse, and I think at some point she was
Speaker 4: just broke. She's like have it, I don't care anymore.
Speaker 4: We were just like, let's go get mcdlt's and then
Speaker 4: we'll stop at the day Old Hostess fact or the
Speaker 4: Tasty Cake factory and you just go to town who
Speaker 4: gives his sh and then I just ate shit from
Speaker 4: like fourth grade on.
Speaker 3: That's terrific.
Speaker 6: I always remember the and we've talked about this a
Speaker 6: lot on the show, but I just am so blown
Speaker 6: away and so bitter to this day about how from
Speaker 6: you know, growing up in the seventies, there was like nowadays,
Speaker 6: there's candy everywhere, so any store you go to, you
Speaker 6: go to fucking home depot and in the aisle they've
Speaker 6: been smart enough to put candy there whatever. But back
Speaker 6: in the day, it was not like that, Like the
Speaker 6: best you could get would be like a gumball machine maybe,
Speaker 6: or more likely a cigarette machine to mess around with.
Speaker 6: But that I just when when it started when advertisers
Speaker 6: got hipped to the fact that they should be marketing
Speaker 6: to children, which happened around nineteen seventy eight or nine,
Speaker 6: like right around the pac Man era, where they were like, oh,
Speaker 6: these motherfuckers have all kinds of.
Speaker 1: Money and people give them money. We need to get
Speaker 1: their money.
Speaker 6: Before that, it was so so like when you watch
Speaker 6: movies from like the late seventies or eighties, it's so
Speaker 6: boring and dry and it's like the weird. If you
Speaker 6: watched the most recent True Detective, there was a girl
Speaker 6: and it was nineteen eighty and she was ten years old,
Speaker 6: and when they went into her.
Speaker 1: Bedroom, I was like, whoa.
Speaker 6: It was like all these things that are from the
Speaker 6: from that era that I forgot about. Like there would
Speaker 6: be like a stuffed animal, but it was like fabric
Speaker 6: wrapped around a paper cone. So it wasn't like a
Speaker 6: thing you would ever hold or like it was just
Speaker 6: something to stick on your dresser kind of thing. A
Speaker 6: little shit like that that looked like it was made
Speaker 6: at the fair.
Speaker 1: And that was like, here's your toy. Here's your toy.
Speaker 1: I doesn't have a brand.
Speaker 3: I never thought.
Speaker 4: About the idea that like it was there was like
Speaker 4: a decision to market stuff to children, and I do
Speaker 4: think it was like late seventies, early eighties, and then
Speaker 4: after Candy was like this is how we do it,
Speaker 4: Cigarettes were like and this is how we do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you met Oh Camel. It's pretty cool kids.
Speaker 4: And that was like eighty I mean I must have
Speaker 4: been like eighty eight or something like that.
Speaker 3: Joe Camel.
Speaker 4: I remember trying to collect all of the all of
Speaker 4: the like different Joe Camel like match box match match tops,
Speaker 4: you know, and then you like trade them in for
Speaker 4: camel cash and you can get windbreaker.
Speaker 3: Yet oh yeah, I never got one.
Speaker 6: And his face was overtly at dick and balls just
Speaker 6: just not even crazily, horrifyingly over.
Speaker 4: So insane and it's so weird that now we have cameltoe.
Speaker 4: But then it was camel dick. Like that was camel
Speaker 4: dick face. That's the animal that has everything. It unifies
Speaker 4: all the genitalia, and kids love it.
Speaker 6: First of all, kids love camels, and we know that
Speaker 6: they always have when you're little and you're like, you know,
Speaker 6: I need my camel stuffed animal. I need to ride
Speaker 6: a camel whatever. We talked about it constantly.
Speaker 5: We are we're not trying to be perverted or weird,
Speaker 5: but they're also little kids are obsessed with their own genitals,
Speaker 5: So why not have a cartoon character that has a
Speaker 5: little bit of both kids line up for that dick face?
Speaker 3: Hey love it?
Speaker 5: Oh sometimes I say stuff I shouldn't. How did you
Speaker 5: Why do you just have bad knees? Why did both
Speaker 5: your knees have to get fixed?
Speaker 4: It was like to twenty nineteen. It was Nick Turner.
Speaker 4: Nick Turner who's a comedian in Los Angeles those around
Speaker 4: the corner for me. I would see him running when
Speaker 4: I was like driving, and then I contacted him.
Speaker 3: I was like, are you running?
Speaker 4: And he's like yeah, like I of course it was
Speaker 4: a bet. He's like, I bet Nick Vadertot like I
Speaker 4: couldn't run in a marathon, so I'm gonna win five
Speaker 4: hundred dollars by running this marathon. Oh I remember this, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but not a marathon like a five mile thing.
Speaker 3: Sure, And I was.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, hey, maybe I'll do that because and then
Speaker 4: I and that's literally I was like, oh, do that.
Speaker 4: So I started running. And then my goal was to
Speaker 4: like do like, you know, five miles in like a
Speaker 4: Turkey trot, and so I started in maybe September, did
Speaker 4: the Turkey Trot in November. And I was like, oh no,
Speaker 4: like I like running, like and I'm you know, I
Speaker 4: had forty three discovered that I like running. So then
Speaker 4: started running a lot. And then the pandemic hit and
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I've got a lot of time.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start running three days a week. And then
Speaker 4: they closed the trails, they closed all the parks, so
Speaker 4: I was always running on dirt, and then I started
Speaker 4: running on concrete and it was like the second time
Speaker 4: I ran on concrete, I blew my left knee out.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, like casually or was it an explosive like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I just did something.
Speaker 3: It was no.
Speaker 4: I finished the run and then and then immediately was like,
Speaker 4: oh oh no, oh I couldn't walk. Yeah, so oh yeah, totally. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was just a tick. Like tore my meniscu on
Speaker 4: both knees. The next one I tore right after I
Speaker 4: finished physical therapy. I'm the left knee.
Speaker 5: It was like, so you were maybe and I'm not
Speaker 5: insulting your birth, but born with bad knees. I was
Speaker 5: told I was born with bad hips and I have
Speaker 5: to get the other one. I got one replaced. I
Speaker 5: did get the other one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely have bad knees. But also I think
Speaker 4: it was more about the fact that I had never run. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then at forty three, I was like, I'm going
Speaker 4: to turn this body, which is a large body. I
Speaker 4: have a large body. You're a running body. And my
Speaker 4: body was like, no, you're not. Nah, huh, you should
Speaker 4: have started when you were twenty if you wanted to
Speaker 4: do that. Weirdo, I guess, yeah, Or it's just because I've.
Speaker 5: Always run a little bit just because it's the easiest
Speaker 5: thing you can go do. But once I started, when
Speaker 5: I lived by the beach, I thought running on the
Speaker 5: sand would be oh yeah, the softest surface. But really
Speaker 5: it's kind of unpredictable and makes your legs.
Speaker 3: Do you know.
Speaker 5: I thought it was good for the quick twitch muscles,
Speaker 5: not to get technical, and I swear it that far. Yeah,
Speaker 5: not to quick twitch. It's a very important. Uh it's
Speaker 5: important to wake them up.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: Anyway, running on the sand, Yeah, all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: my hips it was like, uh, what is wrong with
Speaker 5: Why is my ass hurting? I thought I had cancer
Speaker 5: in my legs or something. It was that piercing a pain.
Speaker 5: And it's because I ran on the sand. They said
Speaker 5: it's too soft. You should be running on flat surfaces.
Speaker 4: Do you know what a bummer it is to injure
Speaker 4: yourself trying to keep yourself healthy. Like if I injured
Speaker 4: myself skateboarding, I would be like, I get it, I
Speaker 4: deserve it. But I'm out there trying to live longer
Speaker 4: and I'm just making my life fucking worse. Like, no,
Speaker 4: I hate it. I'm not running anymore. I'm done running.
Speaker 3: I've cut it. Out of my life. Every time I
Speaker 3: and I've broken.
Speaker 5: I've broken both my ankles skateboarding and the immediately right
Speaker 5: when it happened, and I'm looking at my crooked foot,
Speaker 5: I yelled, I deserve this. I know what I'm signing
Speaker 5: up for. But yeah, I'm trying to run. I'm trying
Speaker 5: to be soft on my body. I hit the sand
Speaker 5: and that that's what takes me out. It's it's unfair,
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 3: Life is so fucked, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: I actually pictured when you said you blew up both
Speaker 6: knees kirt. I pictured you jogging in like Converse all
Speaker 6: store just every like you decide to run, but you're
Speaker 6: just like in hard shoes and you just start running
Speaker 6: up the street or something.
Speaker 5: Like just wearing a nineteen fifties hooshirt, cast ball shoes o,
Speaker 5: just going for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all.
Speaker 5: Secretly want to be Matt Knutes and the comedian that's
Speaker 5: done multiple marathons. You can't just jump into it.
Speaker 3: Nope, you can't get it. You got it.
Speaker 6: I screw up with asthma, and so I always hated
Speaker 6: and feared running or fast movement of any kind. I've
Speaker 6: planned my life around making sure I wouldn't get into
Speaker 6: a situation where I would have to run along with
Speaker 6: anybody or like I had to do it in high
Speaker 6: school in like standard kind of pe class stuff, and
Speaker 6: it was a complete nightmare. It was just kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 6: I just this isn't like my style in any way.
Speaker 6: I don't I can do like volleyball stuff or whatever,
Speaker 6: but like running sports. My friends have played basketball. I
Speaker 6: was just like, how do you do it? It's constant
Speaker 6: running or soccer?
Speaker 3: Yeah, super constant. Do you still have asthma? That's no.
Speaker 6: My mom convinced me when I was around, because I
Speaker 6: used to actually have to get driven to Kaiser and
Speaker 6: get like shots twice a week.
Speaker 1: I'd very bad ass. But we also lived out.
Speaker 6: In the country where there were so many animals and
Speaker 6: every kind of any kind of weed, pollen, whatever fucking thing.
Speaker 6: It was like, so I reacted to all of it,
Speaker 6: I think, And so I got shots for year a
Speaker 6: couple of years, and then at some point my mom
Speaker 6: just kind of suggested to me that asthma psychosomatic, and
Speaker 6: I was just like, yeah, I don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: Like she she got into my head. She did that.
Speaker 6: It's the same way she got me to stop wedding
Speaker 6: the bed because I went the bed till way later.
Speaker 6: You know, Like I was like eight, I was like
Speaker 6: getting embarrassed at sleepover park type of parties where I
Speaker 6: was just.
Speaker 1: Like, this is untenable, it can't continue.
Speaker 3: Remember that My mom was like, sorry, I'm just going
Speaker 3: to say.
Speaker 5: That's how Prefontaine started running, just trying to get home
Speaker 5: before his mom hung up in sweat sheets.
Speaker 3: Remember that. I think that was him.
Speaker 6: That's Michael Landon's nuts, very similar.
Speaker 3: Men may rest in peace.
Speaker 6: Just wait, did you have you ever seen I have
Speaker 6: this song stuck in my head all the time. Did
Speaker 6: you ever see Frank Conniff that bit where he sings
Speaker 6: Michael Landon's Legacy of Love.
Speaker 5: No No Mystery Science Theaters three thousands, Frank Connaff Frank Connoff.
Speaker 6: He used to do sets at Paul Keselowski's Fake Gallery comedy.
Speaker 1: Room all the shot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kurt, this might be before.
Speaker 3: You moved into to La definitely was. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a great room where the same people
Speaker 6: would show up every week and we were all just
Speaker 6: doing sets for each other and it was insanity. It
Speaker 6: was like Eddie Pepactone would do it all the time
Speaker 6: and Paul and me and.
Speaker 1: You know, run like a bunch of people.
Speaker 6: But Frank made up a song because there was a
Speaker 6: TV Guide cover after Michael Landon died and it said
Speaker 6: Michael Landon's Legacy of Love.
Speaker 1: So he made up a song for that.
Speaker 6: But he started it by going, you do imagine he
Speaker 6: had tiny symbols on his fingertips and he's like.
Speaker 1: Bring bing, bring bring, Bring, Bring, bring bring.
Speaker 6: And there's like this long introduction as he played in
Speaker 6: visit fingers is insanity and one of my favorite things. Anyhow,
Speaker 6: my mom basically one night handed me probably an eighth
Speaker 6: of a cup of cranberry juice and she said, this
Speaker 6: is going to cure your your bed wedding, and that
Speaker 6: night I stopped wedding the bed.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, she was.
Speaker 6: My mom was really good at like basically mental manipulation.
Speaker 3: It worked.
Speaker 1: Like she told me when I was like five, I
Speaker 1: know when you're lying. I can see it.
Speaker 6: And then I was like, oh shit, So I just
Speaker 6: never lied to her ever, wow, because I was like,
Speaker 6: oh she'll no, I can't lie.
Speaker 4: Was her was the mental manipulation always for your benefit,
Speaker 4: I don't think so, sometimes for her entertainment.
Speaker 1: Or her convenience.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think you know, it definitely benefited
Speaker 6: me in some ways. But then I remember later on
Speaker 6: somebody being like, uh, someone I knew that was an
Speaker 6: adult that had asthma.
Speaker 1: It had like an inhaler.
Speaker 6: And then my I was like, it'stic and people are like,
Speaker 6: it's not.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely not.
Speaker 5: I love that your mom was suggesting that you, as
Speaker 5: a child had a uti.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a magical drink, and so you know
Speaker 6: that thing you don't want to do anymore, You're not
Speaker 6: going to have to do anymore. And I was like,
Speaker 6: fucking great, because I want out of this whole world
Speaker 6: of bed wedding.
Speaker 1: It sucks. And then it was over.
Speaker 3: My mom did the same thing, but it was cranberry juice.
Speaker 5: Heat it up and in a bowl, and she made
Speaker 5: me put my hand in it as I slept in
Speaker 5: It did not help the problem, amplified it.
Speaker 3: Actually. Sorry.
Speaker 6: We did have Red Hand at school the next day.
Speaker 5: Every fellow student's favorite character Christopher Redhand.
Speaker 1: He's in the Gang of the Red Hand.
Speaker 5: Oh that's fun. Well, I'm I hope you're recovering.
Speaker 3: Well. Is your knee perfect now? Not perfect, but it's
Speaker 3: getting there. I'm better. It takes time. I'm gonna start
Speaker 3: three year, yeah, three years. Yeah, I'm going to Swimming
Speaker 3: is the way. Yeah, swimming is the way, right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it in your pool, do you like I do?
Speaker 6: I spent I did not get out of that pool
Speaker 6: all summer long. It was the best and it really helped.
Speaker 6: Like I was, uh, you know, obviously we were in
Speaker 6: quarantine and we're all scared and freaked out or whatever,
Speaker 6: but I just had this thing where I was like
Speaker 6: every day at whatever time or like in the morning,
Speaker 6: you know, just getting out there. And it was really
Speaker 6: the first time i'd really like focused on on like
Speaker 6: a good exercise kind of routine in so long, and
Speaker 6: it solved like eight things at once because it was
Speaker 6: like I feel better, I have more energy, my moods
Speaker 6: are so much better, like all these different things that
Speaker 6: you know, when I get.
Speaker 1: Stressed, I just I lock down.
Speaker 6: I just like all my muscles lock up, and I
Speaker 6: eat and I lay down. I get as like small
Speaker 6: as like can, and I eat as I watched TV.
Speaker 6: So the swimming I could feel, like, you know, after
Speaker 6: two weeks, I could see my legs shape changing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's the best and it's like meditative.
Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, I highly recommend.
Speaker 5: The guy that did my hips wrote a book about
Speaker 5: how swimming is the answer. And I didn't know how
Speaker 5: to swim even actually I was scared of it because
Speaker 5: of some childhood canoe trauma. But I I just got
Speaker 5: a ridiculous looking snorkel that goes up the middle, a
Speaker 5: freestyle snorkel.
Speaker 3: It had Michael Phelps's signature on it. But I because
Speaker 3: it's like it's a mask and snorkel.
Speaker 5: It is regular goggles and it's a snorkel with a
Speaker 5: headrest and a strap. It's quite it's like the headgear
Speaker 5: of swimming. But it I immediately, like Karen said, all of
Speaker 5: my pain radiating down everything stemming from my hip, which
Speaker 5: I thought bad back. I thought it was bag knee,
Speaker 5: I thought it was bad ankle. All went away until
Speaker 5: after just swimming for a half hour, just kicking around.
Speaker 5: Then it was like, Okay, the pain is only in
Speaker 5: my hip. There's the answer. But it also yeah, it
Speaker 5: just exercises all those muscles and I highly this. It's
Speaker 5: like a commercial for swimming.
Speaker 4: It really is. My grandmother she moved to She was
Speaker 4: a dancer.
Speaker 3: Her whole life.
Speaker 4: And she moved from Asbury Park to Palm West Palm
Speaker 4: Beach in Florida, and she had a house with a pool,
Speaker 4: and every day at like I think three pm, she
Speaker 4: would go and get in her pool, get in her
Speaker 4: pool and do like swim for thirty minutes, but with
Speaker 4: her head above. She never got her hair wet, head above,
Speaker 4: just kind of like almost like a doggy paddle yea
Speaker 4: for thirty minutes, and then would get out and have
Speaker 4: one cigarette and then start making Margarita's was.
Speaker 3: Her hole every day, every single day.
Speaker 4: It was amazing, and do the crossword puzzle while having
Speaker 4: like some sort of mixed drink from a blender, whether
Speaker 4: it be a Peeni clod or or a Margarita. And
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, And I didn't realize at the
Speaker 4: time that that is the life, like the life I want.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm there. I want to live that life entirely.
Speaker 1: I can't. I know I can't have Margerita's. But that
Speaker 1: was how my mom would be too.
Speaker 6: We would be like we'd go on summer vacation and
Speaker 6: be like the first day we'd be at Blue Lake
Speaker 6: or whatever place we'd go in my mom would come
Speaker 6: out and get in the water and she'd be swimming
Speaker 6: so careful because she didn't want either.
Speaker 1: She didn't want to mess her hair up.
Speaker 6: She didn't want to have to redo her hair, like
Speaker 6: because she would have to go up and reblow dry
Speaker 6: it because it was a do and she would We
Speaker 6: would always go try to swim by her and be
Speaker 6: like mom, and she'd be like, step it, don't, don't,
Speaker 6: don't because she just didn't want us to get her
Speaker 6: hair wet.
Speaker 1: It's a very big deal.
Speaker 5: And there's this folklore that chlorine turns your hair green.
Speaker 5: So I wear a swim cap to add to my
Speaker 5: ridiculous ensemble. I think you have to wear a swim
Speaker 5: cap if you're going in a public pool too.
Speaker 3: I think that regularly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just yeah, keep your hair out of that
Speaker 5: met your skin and your open orifices.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, and there's no but tak.
Speaker 5: Yeah, bring it on used band aids, but my hair,
Speaker 5: stay out of my hair.
Speaker 3: Oh god.
Speaker 6: The one thing about swimming every day, though, is it
Speaker 6: makes you voraciously hungry because you are you're doing like
Speaker 6: double exercise essentially total every muscle is working. So then
Speaker 6: I would I would always be like, should I get
Speaker 6: fed a chini Alfred out tonight. I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 6: it's working against the whole plan. But it would just
Speaker 6: be that kind of like carb engine would be would
Speaker 6: have started.
Speaker 5: I thought I would lose a lot of weight swimming.
Speaker 5: I felled it helping my muscles and everything. But I
Speaker 5: was sort of gaining weight. And so I asked the
Speaker 5: doctor about that, because he's the swim doctor, and he said,
Speaker 5: is it a cold pool? And I'm like yeah, He's
Speaker 5: like yeah, every time you jump in, your body's like, oh,
Speaker 5: we need to create some fact because I was gaining weight.
Speaker 5: Even though, like you said, I could see leg definition
Speaker 5: and stuff, I was gaining weight and it's because of
Speaker 5: the pool at twenty four Hour Fitness in the basement
Speaker 5: in Glendale doesn't have a heater.
Speaker 3: Wait out there.
Speaker 4: I have bummed out at this because I definitely need
Speaker 4: to lose some weight. I was you was going to
Speaker 4: do it. It was really cold, but well, my fun
Speaker 4: body's like I got bloody blubber.
Speaker 3: Totally like I'm one.
Speaker 5: Of those old guys that goes out and dives into
Speaker 5: an ice hole the Polar Bear Club. Yes, yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: not kidding, that's what. And I it was a shock
Speaker 5: to my body when I jump in that pool. I'm like,
Speaker 5: how is this just room temperature? That was? And it
Speaker 5: was probably seventy degrees but it felt really cold. Uh.
Speaker 5: And and if you so find a heated pool, I'm
Speaker 5: I'm very serious about this, Kurt. Oh, make sure the
Speaker 5: one I found is heated so you sweat it and
Speaker 5: make it real gross and goula of fluids?
Speaker 6: Isn't that one that's like Griffith Park Boulevard and lis
Speaker 6: felis that that one's empty?
Speaker 4: And all the ones in La count in La City
Speaker 4: are empty? But I found one in Glendale, baby, Yeah,
Speaker 4: outdoor in Glendale, heated pool. Not telling anybody where it
Speaker 4: is because I don't want to nor competition in the lineup.
Speaker 6: Sure, it's just going to be you and the Armenian
Speaker 6: Mafia swimming away.
Speaker 3: Yeah cough yeah.
Speaker 5: And you gotta wait for a lane. If you start
Speaker 5: squealing about it, you got to wait an hour to swim.
Speaker 5: You're sitting there waiting for someone to quit waits.
Speaker 3: You would do it. You would just go and wait
Speaker 3: for people to sep swimming.
Speaker 5: And it was always liked sit and be fit swimmers
Speaker 5: with their head of a water.
Speaker 3: And when I was coming through physical therapy.
Speaker 5: They're like, go to the Elizabeth Taylor Aquatic Swim Center.
Speaker 3: And I've talked about this.
Speaker 5: There was like those those long vertical tapestries of Elizabeth
Speaker 5: Taylor an old swim where apparently she didn't even swim,
Speaker 5: she didn't know how, but she has an aquatic center
Speaker 5: and it was all old folks that were just I'm like,
Speaker 5: I don't belong here. I want to go do laps,
Speaker 5: you know, not frog kicks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: But at least it was heated. Why don't we have
Speaker 4: beautiful pool dance sequences in movies anymore?
Speaker 3: Guys? Yeah, the whole.
Speaker 4: Dance sequences were really a thing for quite some time,
Speaker 4: and then we lost it and I'd on it back.
Speaker 5: To fully appreciate it, you have to be it has
Speaker 5: to be a bird's eye view, and it's hard to
Speaker 5: suspend an audience. So they see that your kicking legs
Speaker 5: are like a flower from the side, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: they're splashing around. You don't appreciate the formation. It's only
Speaker 5: from above. You know.
Speaker 3: I'm talking out my ass, but I.
Speaker 6: Think, what was that Coen Brothers movie. I want to
Speaker 6: say I Caesar, but that's incorrect.
Speaker 3: No, I think it.
Speaker 4: Caesaresar. They did have one. They did most.
Speaker 1: I loved it so much. I mean, that's a great movie.
Speaker 6: If you haven't seen it or you haven't seen it
Speaker 6: in a while, it's such a great movie, end to end.
Speaker 6: I don't know why people didn't love it more. But
Speaker 6: that Scarlett Johansson swimming is amazing. Also the dancing, the
Speaker 6: sailors dancing.
Speaker 3: What's his name? It made me like him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say Chet Johnson, he might as
Speaker 5: well be called He made me like.
Speaker 3: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 5: And no one, I guess other people knew he danced
Speaker 5: because they had watched one of the seven Step Ups,
Speaker 5: this tragic my step up movies. But he, oh man,
Speaker 5: he's great.
Speaker 3: He's so good.
Speaker 6: But Scarlette Johansson in that and the way they shot that,
Speaker 6: it was so true to how they really did it.
Speaker 6: It wasn't like a cute see version. It was full
Speaker 6: on real you know.
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I just loved how she like came
Speaker 6: up out of the water and she's like, what do
Speaker 6: you want me to do?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Like good, totally voiced. I love that movie.
Speaker 5: Then the movie takes a thirty minute dive into the
Speaker 5: sailors scene.
Speaker 3: But I'm no critic.
Speaker 5: Let's start synchronized swimming, you guys for real?
Speaker 3: Hey you I know you.
Speaker 1: They get you dooy, like did you doo me?
Speaker 6: My cousins Mary Kate and Eileen were on a synchronized
Speaker 6: swimming team called the San Francisco Marionettes.
Speaker 4: I have a question, yes, is that three people or
Speaker 4: two people?
Speaker 1: Mary Kate one, Eileen two?
Speaker 6: And they were our older girl cousins and we I mean,
Speaker 6: we love them to this day. But like when we
Speaker 6: were little, that's all me and my sister talked about
Speaker 6: Mary Kate Nileen, and they lived in San Francisco, so
Speaker 6: they were like the coolest whatever. But we would go
Speaker 6: watch them and they would also in at Aunt Jenny
Speaker 6: and Uncle Brandy's pool. Would teach us how to do
Speaker 6: those moves like you you're underwater, then you come up
Speaker 6: like torso first, then legs one leg goes up and
Speaker 6: then you go down spinning the leg like. We used
Speaker 6: to know how to do that because Mary Kate and
Speaker 6: Nileen knew how to do it and taught us how,
Speaker 6: and we used to go to their competitions so there'd
Speaker 6: be like it would be like the weekend and you'd
Speaker 6: be out in like like uh, you know, way out
Speaker 6: in the mission district in some pool, like a pool
Speaker 6: at a high school or something, and it's like fog
Speaker 6: everywhere and freezing cold, and then there's just all these
Speaker 6: girls competing with like the underwater makeup and their nose
Speaker 6: clips and then the swimming caps and they were It
Speaker 6: was glorious and my favorite thing.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I can't believe that that actually was
Speaker 4: a thing for high school people. I can't I bring
Speaker 4: it back.
Speaker 3: That might be the kind of thing. I'm so excited
Speaker 3: to see.
Speaker 5: What does make a comeback in the coming Well, let's
Speaker 5: be honest, a couple of years, because we know bowling
Speaker 5: is over forever, but what if synchronized it is, Hey,
Speaker 5: we're going to pay attention to everywhere our three fingers go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but couldn't they have like could we just do
Speaker 6: disposable gloves and solve that problem right by?
Speaker 3: Everyone? You have to bring your own ball. Sorry, no
Speaker 3: more municipal balls.
Speaker 4: But that is the funniest part is that like that
Speaker 4: was the first thing they reopened, like after we had
Speaker 4: our big lockdown. They're like, all right, barber shops and
Speaker 4: what else? What else could it be?
Speaker 3: Bowling? O? Yeah, those are the two places that are
Speaker 3: open now. It's like why why are bowling alleys open?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And gun ranges.
Speaker 5: It's the people that are yelling the loudest for I
Speaker 5: want this back, and I think the bowling community is vocal.
Speaker 6: There and they're threatening. They're not afraid to absolutely threaten
Speaker 6: as city councilman's.
Speaker 5: Like most of them may be most of them are
Speaker 5: John Goodman from The Big Lebowski.
Speaker 3: We used to.
Speaker 6: Laugh because I started getting my sister and when I
Speaker 6: would go home for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, I would
Speaker 6: make everybody go bowling as kind of like all the families.
Speaker 1: Getting together perfect. It's so fun.
Speaker 6: But we would then we order a bunch of food
Speaker 6: and then we would come over. It's the same conversation
Speaker 6: every time, where like picking up a Mozzarells and be like,
Speaker 6: so gross to be eating this right now, because your
Speaker 6: hands have been in it, like bowling balls that you
Speaker 6: don't even know who's been using it. They're just go
Speaker 6: and take those same fingers and go over and be like, hey,
Speaker 6: did you try these fries?
Speaker 3: It's disgusting.
Speaker 5: Just last year I did it, and knowingly, I'm like,
Speaker 5: it's probably gross, but I've built up at tolerance to
Speaker 5: most germs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to think now anyone doing that.
Speaker 6: You just would do a lot of We were all
Speaker 6: pretending that. We were like, if you're alrighty, you use
Speaker 6: your left hand.
Speaker 1: To eat, to eat the food. But you know, people
Speaker 1: were switching, like it's hard to keep track.
Speaker 3: It's right to get to keep.
Speaker 4: Track and also only eat with your left hand. I
Speaker 4: couldn't do it, like put putting in.
Speaker 1: The wrong spot.
Speaker 6: I love bowling, though I'm not good at it, but
Speaker 6: I really I think that is such a fun.
Speaker 3: It's fun activity. It's a fun way too.
Speaker 4: So it's like I have now come to realize I
Speaker 4: really enjoy socializing with an activity, you know, with a
Speaker 4: low a low pressure game.
Speaker 3: Of some sort. I do enjoy that.
Speaker 4: I don't want an intense game. I want a low
Speaker 4: pressure nobody gives a shit. But like you can continue
Speaker 4: to do something while talking, because now with zoom, where
Speaker 4: all your hangouts have to be like eye contact, eye contact,
Speaker 4: eye contact, I just want something where I don't have
Speaker 4: to make eye contact. We can still be vulnerable with
Speaker 4: each other and talk, but we're focused on something else
Speaker 4: other than staring at each other in the face.
Speaker 5: You know, yes, yeah, are you looking at me? Keep
Speaker 5: your eye on the dartboard. We're bonding eventual dartboard.
Speaker 6: What if couldn't there be a way to figure out
Speaker 6: how to play bingo like on Zoom?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there should be? I play, you know, I you know,
Speaker 4: I'm a classic dad. I play poker with friends. So
Speaker 4: there's like an app where it's like you see everybody's
Speaker 4: face and it's a video. It's a video chat, but
Speaker 4: also then the game is being played, so we're just
Speaker 4: having a chat. But then also happen to be playing
Speaker 4: a card game too, and it's oh, so sounds fun,
Speaker 4: much more enjoyable than just a Zoom hangout.
Speaker 5: I'm embarrassed that I look at poker the same way
Speaker 5: I look at chess, like it's above me and I'm
Speaker 5: not smart enough.
Speaker 3: To figure it out.
Speaker 5: And every time I've played, people kind of hold your
Speaker 5: hand and then you end up winning. That's always what happens,
Speaker 5: because they're helping and they turn they turn on you,
Speaker 5: and they they keep calling because it's some easily five
Speaker 5: hundred dollars. Janna my old neighbor. But yeah, I want
Speaker 5: I agree with Karen that that bingo. I'm surprised that
Speaker 5: I haven't seen that because I was playing a lot
Speaker 5: of bingo at the hallway up until that's uh this
Speaker 5: whole Uh.
Speaker 4: Doesn't bingo require a large amount of people? Like four people? Right?
Speaker 6: It's not fun with a small amount of Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: For Yeah, it takes a long time.
Speaker 5: You're looking at uh when there's four people, you're there
Speaker 5: for hours before.
Speaker 1: You get a winner, and no one has fun.
Speaker 6: We also like we have a game night where we
Speaker 6: play Quiplash, that jackbox game so fun. It's a really
Speaker 6: fun game. But then if there's not enough people, the
Speaker 6: numbers are very it's like you can't have four people,
Speaker 6: you need six ideally eight. Yeah, but then if there's
Speaker 6: a certain combination because like all the people that I
Speaker 6: do it with our writers, so then you're being like
Speaker 6: casual and silly. But then if you start losing, you
Speaker 6: start getting competitive.
Speaker 1: Only just to be like I'm I know I'm not
Speaker 1: the least funny person, honest Like it's like.
Speaker 6: I've practically said that out loud, where I'm like, there's
Speaker 6: no way I'm losing this game. And then I started
Speaker 6: accusing people being sexist, where I'm like, how am I losing?
Speaker 1: I'm the only woman on this. The whole thing is bullshit.
Speaker 6: But it's so funny because at first it's like kookie
Speaker 6: and whatever. You're like, oh, that was a good one,
Speaker 6: and then after a while you're like, yeah, I'm done losing.
Speaker 4: So do you play with an audience or is it
Speaker 4: just with with the people who are playing? Okay, because
Speaker 4: with us, I've done it. I've done the show that
Speaker 4: Julian hosts, right, and that is that's really fun too
Speaker 4: because then there's an audience too, So it's not just
Speaker 4: the people who you're with voting against each other. It's
Speaker 4: like strangers you don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you get a weird combination, there's I
Speaker 6: find it's like when everyone's voting for their favorite one,
Speaker 6: you're you need the right combination of people that are
Speaker 6: like like minded, I think, because that can go, it
Speaker 6: can go.
Speaker 5: So but we did do the time we did it,
Speaker 5: we had so much fun and there was I always
Speaker 5: thought I wasn't competitive, you know, because I'd sit in
Speaker 5: the outfield during baseball and eat candy. But when it
Speaker 5: came to that, I was very competitive, and I started
Speaker 5: doing well and I was getting very excited.
Speaker 3: And that's when.
Speaker 5: I threw the app away and and I had to
Speaker 5: start over and I ruined it. I'll never I was
Speaker 5: angry for two days, and then I realized, oh, I'm
Speaker 5: very competitive.
Speaker 6: That's the one you were, because you were winning, Chris,
Speaker 6: and then something happened and you got up and stormed
Speaker 6: out of your own chin ups. It was hilleous and
Speaker 6: he was in the background doing chin ups while the
Speaker 6: rest of us finished the game.
Speaker 1: It was fucking hilarious.
Speaker 5: I turned into an angry jock and I thought that
Speaker 5: was the last thing.
Speaker 3: I am, Oh, that is so funny. Wait, you like
Speaker 3: you you threw the game. You threw that.
Speaker 5: You know you have to be playing with your phone
Speaker 5: and then seeing the results on the computer and I
Speaker 5: was swiping, I just well, I'm done with that, and
Speaker 5: I threw. I swiped the game away or I minimized it.
Speaker 5: Whatever I did, I kept and then it's like, well,
Speaker 5: that player's gone, and I'm like, no, I'm.
Speaker 6: Until that point, you were kind of the hands down winner,
Speaker 6: which I was. I was loving because it was a
Speaker 6: very unifying. It was like sometimes a really bullshit answer
Speaker 6: would win that's just like Moose Dick, and you'd be
Speaker 6: like really okay. But then Chris would come in with
Speaker 6: these things that weren't unlike anyone else's answers, and everyone
Speaker 6: would just be.
Speaker 3: Like, this is this is all.
Speaker 1: We're all in unison on this one.
Speaker 5: In a way, I was sort of baiting you to
Speaker 5: compliment me, and I can't believe you felt. The other
Speaker 5: thing was most people we are playing with, I knew
Speaker 5: some of their IMDb credits and I haven't written on shit,
Speaker 5: so I was like, I'm adequate. And then I but
Speaker 5: again a minor mistake got me fired.
Speaker 3: Like from most riding rooms.
Speaker 6: Chris an Achilles heel that is technology.
Speaker 1: It gets the better of him.
Speaker 3: I get very upset.
Speaker 6: He gets it's hair trigger when it comes to tech
Speaker 6: thing that you can't which it happens everybody like I
Speaker 6: always just do the thing my mom used to do, which.
Speaker 1: Is the computer's broken. It was never something she was doing.
Speaker 3: Well, this is broken, as I always take it very personally.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had I had a friend Mac Primo, who's
Speaker 4: an artist in Brooklyn now, and when I remember we
Speaker 4: were hanging out, this was like in early early two
Speaker 4: thousands in New York City and where at his he
Speaker 4: has the same thing with technology where he was just
Speaker 4: like this incredibly funny, like you open man, very beautiful artist.
Speaker 4: But then if like technology went wrong, he would turn
Speaker 4: on a fucking dime. Like we were at his house.
Speaker 4: It was his party. He had a few drinks and
Speaker 4: then the he had he had a CD change. It
Speaker 4: was a multiple CD changer and for some reason it
Speaker 4: didn't go to the song he wanted to and he's
Speaker 4: just like having a good time, and then he's like, oh,
Speaker 4: I hate this thing, and he takes a knife and
Speaker 4: he puts it through the whole thing, and then like
Speaker 4: all the music leaves, like all that shuts down completely,
Speaker 4: And I was like, is that how.
Speaker 3: We're going to handle it?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 3: We have no music?
Speaker 4: And this is like nineteen ninety nine or two thousand,
Speaker 4: We don't have phone to play music.
Speaker 3: Now the party doesn't have any music. You piece of ship.
Speaker 3: The fact that he stabbed it with a knife.
Speaker 4: He stabbed it with with a switchblade. I love it
Speaker 4: and stabbed it.
Speaker 1: Yes, did he have a switchblade in his back clocket?
Speaker 4: No, it was his apartment and the switchblade was just
Speaker 4: like on it was nearby. It was like laying on
Speaker 4: like a counter. I always want to say a flat surface.
Speaker 4: It was laying on a flat surface, was slightly line service.
Speaker 5: Oh she he just had knives taped to his ceiling.
Speaker 5: I have a lot of outbursts in this room. I'll
Speaker 5: tape a few knives to the scene. I have a
Speaker 5: lot in common with that guy, Chris.
Speaker 1: Can I just ask because the visual of because people
Speaker 1: would go is Chris coming back.
Speaker 6: And I think people are asking me, like because we're
Speaker 6: cohose of a podcast that I like, I'm like the
Speaker 6: he'll never.
Speaker 1: Come back, Like I would never answer. But when you
Speaker 1: started doing chin ups in that on that bar back.
Speaker 6: There in the doorway, I couldn't tell if you were
Speaker 6: doing it because it was the funniest, like as a
Speaker 6: picture shot. It was like you were a director. It
Speaker 6: was the funniest thing you could be doing. But were
Speaker 6: you aware?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was a it was a comedic choice.
Speaker 5: But also I was seething with anger, and that's the
Speaker 5: only time I do chin ups is when I'm upset.
Speaker 5: I've been pretty happy lately and you can really see
Speaker 5: it in my midsection.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That so I've been thinking about that.
Speaker 4: Since we had the whole swimming conversation, I feel like
Speaker 4: I can ask this question. I've been thinking about getting
Speaker 4: a pull up bar. My question is is it just
Speaker 4: going to sit there and I'm never going to use it?
Speaker 3: Chris, I have.
Speaker 5: An answer, and it is it's kind of an eyesore.
Speaker 5: And so you'll because you can remove it from the
Speaker 5: doorframe if you get the right cheap one that I
Speaker 5: did that could break at any moment and leave me
Speaker 5: on my back on the floor.
Speaker 3: I leave it right. It's right behind me here. You
Speaker 3: can see. You can see it. I can see it.
Speaker 3: Why is my finger? It's weird. It's like shaving your
Speaker 3: neck in the mirror. You look like like a shortened DT. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Every time I walk past it, I see it peripherally
Speaker 5: and I'm like, okay, let me just hammer out five
Speaker 5: or six or seven of these, just so that it's
Speaker 5: constantly there. It's hard to ignore it if it's always
Speaker 5: in your house.
Speaker 3: But you have a.
Speaker 5: Family and kids and you're not going to want you know,
Speaker 5: it will be like an unused hammock, just an iceore.
Speaker 5: But yeah, because I trip over yes, yes, or a yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm short and I can breathe under most obstructions. But
Speaker 5: but yeah, because it's there and always reminding me, I
Speaker 5: do use it more than you would I.
Speaker 3: When I would take it.
Speaker 5: Down, I'd be like to make the house look more
Speaker 5: livable because maybe people would come over. I'd forget about
Speaker 5: it for months and months. So if you leave it up, yeah,
Speaker 5: you'll be ripped. You'll have ball shoulders, striations, pecks. Karen,
Speaker 5: you just reached over and took a sip of something.
Speaker 5: Was that a Is it a professionally made thing or
Speaker 5: is that a home thing that you do.
Speaker 1: No, this is in the early day of COVID.
Speaker 6: I used to have a like just a big plastic
Speaker 6: drinking cup from Starbucks are reusable drinking cup with a straw,
Speaker 6: because that's the way. I will not drink water unless
Speaker 6: it's in a thing like this, so that I'm just
Speaker 6: kind of like, have it. I know it's covered, because
Speaker 6: if I have a glass of water and then I
Speaker 6: leave it on the table when I come back, I'm like,
Speaker 6: what if a moth was in there.
Speaker 1: I always make up.
Speaker 6: These weird stories of shit, shit that fell in that
Speaker 6: I can't see right now, but it'll I'll catch it
Speaker 6: in my mouth that's like my worst fear.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always a hair. You know, those airborne hairs
Speaker 5: that you see in the sunlight.
Speaker 3: Yes, they end up.
Speaker 5: Falling into your water and you look down there, but
Speaker 5: what the sun yets it right, and you see there's
Speaker 5: hair in there.
Speaker 1: This is all everything. It's all hair, the dermis. There's
Speaker 1: hair every tritus.
Speaker 6: Yes, so I uh, the dermal layer that's in the air.
Speaker 6: So this is at the Ralphs near here. I was
Speaker 6: having a you know, it was Instacart and I was
Speaker 6: getting groceries. But then I know they have a big
Speaker 6: old kind of like home good section, like all kinds
Speaker 6: of different stuff, and I would just put on there
Speaker 6: like it was you know, it was basically like I
Speaker 6: just want a big tall cup with a straw. And
Speaker 6: the picture that was on there, I was like, I
Speaker 6: don't care what it looks like, just as long as
Speaker 6: it has a reusable straw and it's like covered. And
Speaker 6: the woman at my shopper she goes, I got you
Speaker 6: a good one. I'd use it myself, and this this
Speaker 6: is the one she chose for me. She almost thought
Speaker 6: it was beautiful.
Speaker 3: It is, I like it and beautiful.
Speaker 6: It's it's haunting and hypnotic. I always know where it is,
Speaker 6: Like I can put it anywhere in the house. I'm like,
Speaker 6: it's right over there. It's like so, you know, but
Speaker 6: it's an eyesore, it is it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks so fancy. It looks really it looks
Speaker 4: like a pure refreshing drink.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It really looks like you're doing something nice for yourself.
Speaker 5: And then visually it's it's like potpourri that you can
Speaker 5: drink beautiful.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess that makes it look like the drink
Speaker 6: itself is really exciting, Like it's I see it looks
Speaker 6: like this. Oh, this is my high biscus cooler something
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 3: Inside it's just pool temperature water.
Speaker 6: This is chlorinated water. I love.
Speaker 3: No hairs and hairs.
Speaker 6: Just mosquitos, just leaves and mosquito.
Speaker 1: I actually, though, will brag about that.
Speaker 6: This is my big brag of lately, Like, my most
Speaker 6: exciting thing that's happened lately is I got this water
Speaker 6: filter water filtration system put in, and I don't know,
Speaker 6: I had never heard of this. I didn't know it
Speaker 6: was an option, but it was my therapist who told
Speaker 6: me about it. She was literally on on the zoom
Speaker 6: call with me one morning and she had a glass
Speaker 6: of water and she some juice. I just have to
Speaker 6: tell you, and then went into this thing that she go,
Speaker 6: I might not this might be illegal.
Speaker 1: I might not be able to say things this year.
Speaker 1: She was like, but I swear to god.
Speaker 6: She she had this water filtration system put in and
Speaker 6: it's basically like five more filters than your usual like
Speaker 6: whatever comes standard with the house.
Speaker 1: And they use it at.
Speaker 6: Like Burke Williams, they use it at Whole Foods, they
Speaker 6: use it at all these places, and it's like a
Speaker 6: local company.
Speaker 1: So basically you have like bottled water, like.
Speaker 6: Fiji level water coming out of your tap, so you
Speaker 6: can and any in any tap in the house, you can,
Speaker 6: like bathroom water is now the most delicious water I want.
Speaker 6: And when she explained it to me and I was like,
Speaker 6: that's the best that she was like, just wait till
Speaker 6: you wash your hair, like your hair gets really soft
Speaker 6: all this stuff, and it's like not expensive for what
Speaker 6: you get, which is you can like la water is dangerous,
Speaker 6: like it is not healthy, it's not good for you,
Speaker 6: and it like you know, like it's really hard water,
Speaker 6: like you get all the stain and the spots on
Speaker 6: the shower door and stuff like that. So now it's
Speaker 6: all like very fancy water in every tap. So I'm
Speaker 6: just like all about the water these That.
Speaker 4: Is great, and you can just drink straight from the shower,
Speaker 4: which everyone wants to do seriously.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I brush my teeth, then I rinse, then I
Speaker 6: drink like kind of like a dog for a little while,
Speaker 6: just like kind of lap it up a.
Speaker 3: Little bit the whole time peeing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I really want to get filtered water because my Brita
Speaker 5: isn't doing it.
Speaker 3: And after watching.
Speaker 5: Dark Water that that movie about DuPont and the cancer
Speaker 5: caught like everything insane carcinogen. Why I threw away pots
Speaker 5: and pans the other day, my old ones because of that.
Speaker 5: It's all about teflon. Yeah, and it's not about water.
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's not the same, but it makes
Speaker 5: me want to only drink filtered, highly filtered water.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So one of the first when I first moved to
Speaker 6: LA they did a they did a water they did
Speaker 6: some kind of test that they released the result of
Speaker 6: and there is rocket fuel in Los Angeles water. I
Speaker 6: mean this was the nineties, so they may have improved
Speaker 6: it since then. But I mean it's renowned that La
Speaker 6: tap water is not good and everyone has filtered water
Speaker 6: or everyone has some kind of something, and so I
Speaker 6: was like, well, that's actually a good investment for then
Speaker 6: you just don't have to worry about it in it
Speaker 6: wherever it comes out in your house, you don't have
Speaker 6: to worry about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I mean because I was totally brit up before.
Speaker 4: I'm happy that they made it illegal to dump your
Speaker 4: rocket fuel in the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was although it's.
Speaker 5: And I'm assuming that's why mine burst into Am I
Speaker 5: a child? I'm sorry I went there. I just say
Speaker 5: things and sometimes I wish.
Speaker 1: Time for you to do some pull ups.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm upset with myself. Excuse me while I work
Speaker 3: it out. Are you is there?
Speaker 5: I know you're a parent, so you're probably a lot
Speaker 5: of your time is uh geared towards that. But during
Speaker 5: this quarantine of you, like Kurt discovered a new are
Speaker 5: you into something new or I know.
Speaker 3: Just it is just parenting, and that's that's there.
Speaker 5: That's that's what I would if I you know, it
Speaker 5: wasn't shooting blanks. I suppose, Uh, that's what I would
Speaker 5: do to keep it from keeping you from it.
Speaker 3: The doctor hasn't confirmed that. I'm just guessing. No, I
Speaker 3: guess I've really picked up the the uh.
Speaker 4: The beautiful hobby of driving aimlessly and not getting out
Speaker 4: of the car. That's a big one with the kids.
Speaker 4: I cannot stay.
Speaker 1: In the house anymore.
Speaker 4: Everybody in the car and then oh, we can't go
Speaker 4: anywhere because everything's closed or there's too many children at
Speaker 4: the playground for them to touch. So we just drive
Speaker 4: around and then come back. And then your kids out
Speaker 4: of the car.
Speaker 3: Do they calm down? And like being in the car
Speaker 3: is that Well, it's.
Speaker 4: Always you think it's going to be good, and it's
Speaker 4: bad because then the way to get to stop at
Speaker 4: the you know, you go to the playground and you're like, okay,
Speaker 4: please please, no children. No children are or at least
Speaker 4: not too many children. Then you get there and it's
Speaker 4: just like hundreds of children, all unmasked parents, and you're
Speaker 4: like no. And they see the playground and they're like
Speaker 4: playground and they see children, they're like friends.
Speaker 3: And they're like friends are dangerous, right, and we just driving.
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's funny. Just dangle it in front of them.
Speaker 3: That's so funny.
Speaker 6: And then you break into other people's backyards that have
Speaker 6: jungle gyms and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Karen and I will tell you that being
Speaker 5: in a car only causes chaos. Yeah, that's what this
Speaker 5: podcast used to be. And look how calm and collect
Speaker 5: everything it's been today.
Speaker 1: I do miss some.
Speaker 6: I ran out of coffee the other day and I
Speaker 6: was going to go to Starbucks the drive through to
Speaker 6: go get some and I'm like, I don't want to
Speaker 6: go by myself.
Speaker 5: Oh I Miss, I'm kidding, I Miss, I'm it. Start driving. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it feels weird to go through a Starbucks drive through
Speaker 5: by myself. Yeah, I'm gonna treat myself by myself.
Speaker 3: You know what you do? You just pay for the
Speaker 3: person behind you. I see that in small towns people
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 5: But what if you know someone's like I have to
Speaker 5: get a bunch of coffees for the office.
Speaker 3: That's who i'd have in front of me. Someone that
Speaker 3: just got thirty coffees for their law firm.
Speaker 5: All get the person in front of me. That'll be
Speaker 5: two hundred and ninety eight dollars.
Speaker 3: Don't god damn it? Nuts.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean this is usually how long our podcast is.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I am excellent.
Speaker 3: We fat. That's good. That's a compliment, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it always is. It is a sign of having fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. Y Stop arguing. Are you wearing a
Speaker 3: Touch and Go shirt?
Speaker 4: I am, yeah, just this is actually a touch is
