Speaker 1: Are you leaving? I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 2: Either way, we want to be there. Doesn't matter how
Speaker 2: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 2: termino and gage aid.
Speaker 3: We want to send you off insta. We wanna welcome
Speaker 3: you back home.
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it. We scared her? Was it fine?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Porn? Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride? Do your need to ride?
Speaker 3: Ride with Karen and Chris? Welcome to Do you need
Speaker 3: a ride?
Speaker 1: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Garralujah.
Speaker 5: That is a loud prayer.
Speaker 3: We are.
Speaker 1: This is a podcast where Karen and I are very
Speaker 1: good friends drive and pick our friends up who are
Speaker 1: funny and have fun conversation. Have you noticed I'm I'm
Speaker 1: opening it up to maybe new people that haven't this
Speaker 1: is their first time listening.
Speaker 2: Oh good idea.
Speaker 3: I kind of did that last time too.
Speaker 5: Are you doing some sort of a marketing class right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah. The last thing you want to do is
Speaker 1: push out new people, and that goes with podcasting as
Speaker 1: well as real estate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all that. It's more of the grab him
Speaker 2: and pull him in.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes. And one thing you and I both when
Speaker 1: planning this strategically, was we applied pyramid scheme sales mentality. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You much like with Cutco knives, you get a friend,
Speaker 1: you ask that friend for ten friends. Next thing you know,
Speaker 1: you have a whole season of guests and you're.
Speaker 2: All set, and then cut to after nine seasons and
Speaker 2: you're like, does anyone have any friends left?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Or, in the case of Cutco, cut through several pieces
Speaker 1: of leather if you want to get rid of a
Speaker 1: petite trimmer.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stop talking about the knives.
Speaker 1: I am. I'm be forcing that.
Speaker 5: But here's the thing. You're so proud.
Speaker 1: I am proud because you know a lot about mine.
Speaker 1: I was sixteen and I tried hard. Was I a
Speaker 1: top salesman?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Was I the bottom?
Speaker 1: Yes? And I finally got my minimum payment through the
Speaker 1: company because my dad wrote a strongly worded leather leather,
Speaker 1: leather on a piece of leather, which really it was.
Speaker 2: Small because you had to cut it up prove your point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sent it in pieces, much like a ransom note.
Speaker 1: Pieces of leather. Leather was a big part of the
Speaker 1: knife sales. You always had to have leather on you
Speaker 1: so you could demonstrate the cutting power of the knives.
Speaker 2: Oh, to cut through I thought maybe it was, you know,
Speaker 2: from like old fashioned things that were people like sharpen
Speaker 2: knives on light.
Speaker 1: I think for show I would occasionally rub the blade
Speaker 1: against the leather as well, but for the most part
Speaker 1: it was to cut through it. And the big thing
Speaker 1: was with my presentation, why don't you right now and
Speaker 1: this seems like a bold move, go get your best
Speaker 1: knife out of the kitchen and we'll see how it stats.
Speaker 2: Knife fight. Yeah, I'm sixteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're tying our wrists together and we're gonna slap
Speaker 1: each other with this rubber chicken that's from a weird
Speaker 1: al video. Anyway, I always was cutting leather. How do
Speaker 1: you feel about the Chicago Bowls? And I cut a
Speaker 1: penny into a bowl. It was so it was like
Speaker 1: magic tricks. And they took me too long, and I
Speaker 1: think they could tell my hands. We're shaking because I'm
Speaker 1: so nervous fitting in a stranger's house. Nives, right, but
Speaker 1: it's it's what I needed to get into, you know,
Speaker 1: get comfortable on stage and everything. It was early interaction.
Speaker 1: But anyway, if you're new to the podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Yeah, And if you're new to the podcast, Chris
Speaker 2: often kind of does a career in life retrospective at
Speaker 2: the top, and it's just more of like, what weapons
Speaker 2: have I tried to sell as a teenager? When? When
Speaker 2: was my entire identity, including my address, featured on the
Speaker 2: front page.
Speaker 3: Of the newspaper. I told that many times.
Speaker 1: It's the rets were retrospective of stories I've already told, retold,
Speaker 1: and a lot of weaponry got I took a bath,
Speaker 1: went about the bulk case of pepper spray. But we're
Speaker 1: back in the car, and I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: It's very exciting. It also feels very summary in the car.
Speaker 2: It feels like we're out and about.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In your car, it's more of a pleasant situation,
Speaker 1: whereas in mine, it's my air conditioner just saying no,
Speaker 1: not today, not unless you replace all these filters that
Speaker 1: you get warned about each oil change.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the worst in la summer with no
Speaker 2: AC Actually, Aniles and I were just talking about that,
Speaker 2: that's kind of the worst experience. Yeah, And you can
Speaker 2: have in this town because it's a desert, it's arid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm twenty years in and I've learned nothing
Speaker 1: because it's just blowing hot air. I gotta do something
Speaker 1: other and I usually get the filter out, go to
Speaker 1: a cliffside and shake it off like that someone's ashes.
Speaker 3: And it's not working.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't sound like a great plan.
Speaker 1: My sister and my nieces are visiting and they say hello,
Speaker 1: and they have yet to complain about anything. And it's
Speaker 1: been a motivation for me to try and be Are
Speaker 1: like my nieces, who are seventeen and positive and happy?
Speaker 2: Love it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are they like pretty hip young girls that are like
Speaker 2: just on every trend?
Speaker 1: Are not? Really? No, they are into their own thing.
Speaker 1: They're into sustainable living and vegan cooking and composting and
Speaker 1: having their own worms for the compost and loving them
Speaker 1: like pets. And we've gone all these vegan restaurants, which
Speaker 1: they don't have where they live in Washington, and they're
Speaker 1: very excited to have a meatless reuben. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: far I've had some really good food. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to be received by my stomach.
Speaker 2: None of your business, none of it.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about nobody's business.
Speaker 2: Just stay out of it.
Speaker 1: Is not a podcast where I talk about my bella movements.
Speaker 2: But I do have but there's always a medical but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, vegan eating gives me what I like to call
Speaker 1: medical button. Doctor must be called you well, but it does.
Speaker 5: I mean, it takes an adjustment.
Speaker 2: But then if you do it long enough, right, yes,
Speaker 2: your system adjusts well.
Speaker 3: I regularly visit doctor Bidet.
Speaker 2: And christ you said you wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I know, it's exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 1: These are subtle and fun. Though they're subtle. Fun you promise,
Speaker 1: I know, I know every promise ends with a lie.
Speaker 2: If you learn this now, welcome and learn this.
Speaker 5: Now you're being lied.
Speaker 1: To, yes, by the media, and we are the media.
Speaker 2: And this is clearly exactly right.
Speaker 1: I was saying Karen was exactly right and saying, you're
Speaker 1: listening to CNN. This is for CNN, and I'm Burfler tonight.
Speaker 1: Do you know what's in your drinking water? It could
Speaker 1: be something sinister. That's some of our signature improv.
Speaker 2: Some of the best.
Speaker 1: We've been podcasting more than we're doing what it's known
Speaker 1: in the business as banking. A few episodes, yep. Before
Speaker 1: we have little breaks, and we've been having a lot
Speaker 1: of fun every other day podcasting. We're really in the
Speaker 1: swing of things. And back when we in the Zoom days,
Speaker 1: I did not think. I'm pretty sure I would not
Speaker 1: have looked forward to doing this three times a week.
Speaker 1: But in the car, I am, I'm just another it's
Speaker 1: me again, saying again, I like being.
Speaker 3: In the car.
Speaker 2: It's so fun. Yeah, but also it's not really like
Speaker 2: working at all. Zoom really was worst case scenario for
Speaker 2: podcasting and conversations. Yeah. So now it's like we did
Speaker 2: our training, maybe maybe seal style, and now we can swim.
Speaker 2: We can lift that log over our heads. Yeah, we're fine.
Speaker 3: We can scale the wall.
Speaker 1: We can crawl on our elbows under a gnarled barbed
Speaker 1: wire as rubber bullets fly above our heads. Trantile as crawl.
Speaker 1: These are stories my dad told me he went through
Speaker 1: basic training.
Speaker 2: I just did my least favorite audience laugh, which is
Speaker 2: the snake kiss. I hate it so much when people
Speaker 2: do that at a comedy show.
Speaker 5: I just did it to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for a while that was my go to laugh,
Speaker 1: and I'd untrained myself. Really, that is honestly how I laughed,
Speaker 1: even if I truly was enjoying something, right, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people took it as a facetious laugh. So
Speaker 1: I made myself do my signature laugh, which, as you know,
Speaker 1: is oh goodness. People seem to like that one.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called my holiday laugh. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: So what have you guys been doing besides eating vegan?
Speaker 1: It's only a full day. I picked my sister up yesterday,
Speaker 1: so we have swam, we have talked and laughed.
Speaker 3: We have yet to do any museums.
Speaker 1: It's really hard when someone visits to show them an
Speaker 1: LA experience. It's a lot of pressure. Yes, so far,
Speaker 1: I haven't succumbed to it, but I'm going to and
Speaker 1: I'm going to show them a good time starting after
Speaker 1: this podcast.
Speaker 2: Are they the kind of people that would go to
Speaker 2: like Harry Potter World.
Speaker 1: No, I think a little too old for that. My
Speaker 1: nieces are about to be in college, so it would
Speaker 1: have to be. But I appreciated Harry Potter World.
Speaker 2: I went with a I think Lauren was like twenty
Speaker 2: when I went with her, and she was like, will
Speaker 2: you please go to Harry Potter World with me? I
Speaker 2: mean there's some people who are if you're into it, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's an ageless experience.
Speaker 3: Yes, and it is.
Speaker 1: They do have this thing where it seems like you're
Speaker 1: walking through a village, but it's Willie Walker likesspective, and
Speaker 1: it's actually just a half block long, but if you
Speaker 1: look at it, it looks like it's many blocks, and
Speaker 1: it's actual buildings that get progressively smaller, and you can
Speaker 1: go in them in their stores. But I know nothing
Speaker 1: about the world of Potter or the books, so a
Speaker 1: lot of the references were lost on me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of have to make like a.
Speaker 1: Scarf that says humble drummer or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that means.
Speaker 2: What do you think it means?
Speaker 1: I believe it's a school of magic. The kids belong
Speaker 1: to different schools of magic, much like fraternities, and they
Speaker 1: have little letterman sweaters.
Speaker 5: And there's a real hazing problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have to get hit with hickory switches
Speaker 1: and broomsticks and bead knocks. They get lopped on that
Speaker 1: with bed knocks and broomsticks and Angela Lansbury's there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of got it in a nutshell. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they had really good I think it was like frozen
Speaker 2: Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 5: Isn't that a good idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love on Arnold Palmer. It's hard for
Speaker 1: me to say it's like real, real drive for a
Speaker 1: lot of people.
Speaker 3: Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's hard for everybody.
Speaker 5: It's hard to say it's a weird one.
Speaker 1: That's why everyonna start calling them Arnie right.
Speaker 2: It was just convenience, Ernie Palmy.
Speaker 1: I have. I have them now after a golf just
Speaker 1: to have the full experience. It is the he being
Speaker 1: a golfer, and it's the drinker's supposed to have And
Speaker 1: I like it heavy on the.
Speaker 2: Tea with lemonade more is just a kind of a
Speaker 2: sweetener flavor.
Speaker 1: And she used to mute the color.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, just to get that nice matte brown color going.
Speaker 1: Do they have any Yeah, I like a good matte
Speaker 1: finish on my beverages. Do they have anything like that
Speaker 1: at the mom and pop coffee place we drive through,
Speaker 1: Saint our.
Speaker 3: Bucks, Saint of the Wickedness.
Speaker 2: They do, Actually, let me answer that question. They have
Speaker 2: lots of delicious tea variations and lots of delicious like
Speaker 2: lemonade aid variations.
Speaker 1: Do you think and I don't want to do something
Speaker 1: we've done several times before. We could go through a
Speaker 1: drive through and get some, or should we wait until
Speaker 1: we pick up our guest today.
Speaker 2: No, let's fucking go.
Speaker 5: This is our life.
Speaker 2: It's our summer, we said at the beginning of summer,
Speaker 2: and we're holding fast throughout.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that we're gonna be shirtless, We're gonna be horny.
Speaker 1: We made a lot of promises.
Speaker 5: We're going to saint our books every single day.
Speaker 1: We're drinking tea at the beach with sand in it.
Speaker 2: Saint our books. You have to write that down. It's
Speaker 2: a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think every once in a while. I still
Speaker 1: got it. You do, Yeah, but I'm very excited. Now
Speaker 1: I do want an Arnold Palmer that is coffee based.
Speaker 3: Does that sound good?
Speaker 5: Lemonade and coffee?
Speaker 3: It does not, It doesn't.
Speaker 2: That seems like a huge mistake, although they do put
Speaker 2: a twist.
Speaker 5: Of lemon on espresso shots.
Speaker 2: You're certain if you're trying to be super legit, so
Speaker 2: a full lemonade like splash.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm wrong, maybe to be amazing.
Speaker 3: The more you.
Speaker 1: Think about it, aren't you thinking it would be delicious? No,
Speaker 1: I've really considered it, but iised coffee with lemonade. Now,
Speaker 1: how do you feel.
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: Okay, you already had it in Okay, so I haven't
Speaker 1: added anything.
Speaker 4: Too, Okay.
Speaker 2: I was trying to justify it by saying, if it
Speaker 2: was espresso shots, okay, might work, but even then I
Speaker 2: would not want it. It sounds like you're drinking a
Speaker 2: nervous stomach, right, coffee with lemonade. It's like give yourself
Speaker 2: an ulcer from the outside, right.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, it's double acidity.
Speaker 2: It seems like it would be highly acidic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be yeah, bad for the bowling. But
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down that road again.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm very excited for my tea and lemonade
Speaker 1: that I'm about to get on it.
Speaker 2: Are you going to try the coffee lemonade?
Speaker 1: I want to. I want to mention it and be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, how do you know about our sacred
Speaker 1: beverage that only the employees drink.
Speaker 5: I feel like you think that's what's gonna.
Speaker 1: Happen, or they'll be like, oh my god, are you
Speaker 1: an inventor? Because we're about to put it on the menu.
Speaker 2: Would you allow me to order for you and say,
Speaker 2: has anyone ever this is how we're going to order
Speaker 2: your drink. Has anyone ever asked for a tea a
Speaker 2: nice coffee with lemonade in it?
Speaker 1: We just hear forty employees first into laughter.
Speaker 5: One starts barfing in the back, just.
Speaker 1: Out of embarrassment for me drink. I know what a
Speaker 1: sympathetic voment laugh sounds like, and it's that I can't wait. Yes,
Speaker 1: you you, I would. I would like you to order
Speaker 1: it for me, mainly because you're at the window.
Speaker 2: I also think you might need if you do get
Speaker 2: the coffee lemonade, you're gonna need a backup drink, right.
Speaker 2: I'll just say that as a person who knows the
Speaker 2: bittersweet feeling of ordering something new to be interesting quote
Speaker 2: unquote and being wildly disappointed and bummed out.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, I'm starting to think. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get a traditional teab of lemon aid. Lemon dude,
Speaker 1: does it not? Everyone puts an ellipsies between the work.
Speaker 1: I'll have a lemon.
Speaker 2: Aid and Phoebe Herman voice at the front at the
Speaker 2: front desk of the hotel.
Speaker 1: Aid, there's a beverage at.
Speaker 4: The front window.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm good at impressions.
Speaker 2: M hm. That was quick.
Speaker 1: Thank you one. Yeah, yeah, I really put myself on
Speaker 1: the line there. It was nervous about it. It's so
Speaker 1: scary to found out how rich little did it?
Speaker 2: Wait, so can I ask is your family staying in
Speaker 2: your apartment with you or there at a hotel?
Speaker 1: Yes, a little bit. I don't mind sleeping on my
Speaker 1: little futon bed. So the first night we did do that,
Speaker 1: and it was it was nice. But I don't know
Speaker 1: that my nieces are at the age where they want
Speaker 1: to share a bed, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so and how long are they saying?
Speaker 1: A full week? Eight days? Yes, And we're going to
Speaker 1: go to museums. We're going to go to a pig
Speaker 1: sanctuary farm that my mother used to contribute money to
Speaker 1: that is still around.
Speaker 3: Because they love.
Speaker 1: Pigs, as did my uncle Miff, who used to work
Speaker 1: at Hormel and slaughter them, so his love was different.
Speaker 1: I always thought that was an interesting he didn't do
Speaker 1: the actual slaughtering. But there are people that work in
Speaker 1: the meat industry that are able to separate the you know,
Speaker 1: like love the artist and not the art type of
Speaker 1: a thing, because they both separate the tour he was.
Speaker 1: I never understood that. But they loved pigs, yet he
Speaker 1: knew a world where pigs were made to be killed
Speaker 1: my nieces, however.
Speaker 2: Talking about farming, Yes, yes, so it's happened before.
Speaker 1: We all just don't think about every morning when we
Speaker 1: have breakfast, but my nieces do think about it around
Speaker 1: the clock.
Speaker 3: So it's something I wouldn't do on my own. But
Speaker 3: I'm going with them and it will be very fun.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: And also, pigs are as smart as like twelve year
Speaker 2: olds or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Clooney knows it. We should learn it, right.
Speaker 3: They make great pets.
Speaker 2: They're smart, they're childlike. They have they're filled with childlike wonder.
Speaker 1: Yes, and they have you know, spiky hair that you
Speaker 1: don't want to pet the wrong way.
Speaker 5: You know what I think is ironic is pigs aren't vegan.
Speaker 2: Everyone's extending them the courtesy, but nun's coming back from them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you give them a mafia killed body, they'll
Speaker 1: eat that.
Speaker 2: They'll eat it. Yeah, eggshells, they'll go like this at
Speaker 2: the end with the two.
Speaker 1: Hooves, Yeah, with a you know, horseshoe hanging out of
Speaker 1: their mouth, picking their teeth with a horseshoe, lead anything.
Speaker 2: Little napkins at each corner of the mouth. Dude, you're
Speaker 2: welcome gratzi.
Speaker 1: No, I don't. Yeah, I've never seen pigs eat. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll have the chance.
Speaker 2: I bet you will at a sanctuary.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's probably one of the four things they do.
Speaker 3: What else are you gonna watch them do? Use the bathroom?
Speaker 2: I mean, I please look away?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will, for no other reason than to give
Speaker 1: them their privacy.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the sanctuary puts up some rules and regulations like
Speaker 2: no staring right, no staring bathroom style.
Speaker 3: Yes, no direct eye contact, no loud.
Speaker 1: Clapping, no flash photographer, don't make snort noises.
Speaker 2: No cutoffs, no running, no bottles.
Speaker 1: No cutoffs. No. They want us to just consider the
Speaker 1: line when we line up with the pigs for whatever
Speaker 1: events you do. I assume you do things with the
Speaker 1: pigs and stand in mind to do them.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, I thought you meant be in line with
Speaker 2: the pigs, like line dancing the electric slide.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. If that's one of the things they offer,
Speaker 1: I will grab those hoofs and I will have perfect timing. Finally,
Speaker 1: these swine swing classes. I took.
Speaker 2: It's a true sanctuary for pigs. They can true, finally
Speaker 2: be themselves.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling it's something I'm going to go
Speaker 1: to and then feel sad and confront it.
Speaker 3: But maybe I deserve that.
Speaker 5: Well, that's always a consideration.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: There's certain sadnesses that you have to line up for that.
Speaker 5: You're asking for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now keep an eye peeled because we have
Speaker 2: James Fritz's address information here, So now we have to
Speaker 2: find a Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Oh, natural, take a left, and I'll try not to
Speaker 1: imagine my eye being peeled.
Speaker 2: You're the one peeling it. Does that help or hurt
Speaker 2: the visualization?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I have to do it to myself if your eye peeled?
Speaker 1: I said, so, is this like to get rid of
Speaker 1: a cataract?
Speaker 3: What kind of surgery am I doing?
Speaker 2: Get in there with your little laser and you're little
Speaker 2: Have you ever fucking watched that? Like remember when people
Speaker 2: would get it's not cataract surgery, but it's the lens
Speaker 2: replacement where suddenly people have twenty twenty vision.
Speaker 5: What's that called?
Speaker 3: Oh, lasik?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my sister got it, my dad got it. I
Speaker 2: watched Jessica Simpson get it on the Jessica Simpson and
Speaker 2: Nick Lahy or how right.
Speaker 1: It's a show where she thought chicken and the sea
Speaker 1: was chicken. Yeah, and everyone torri apart for it, But
Speaker 1: I actually thought it wasn't that bad of a question.
Speaker 3: How are we to know it?
Speaker 1: We've been told it's dolphin before, maybe there is some
Speaker 1: chicken in there.
Speaker 2: And also there's some who say she knew that that
Speaker 2: would cause it fuffle, so she did it on purpose,
Speaker 2: which I love even more. Yeah, yes, play those people.
Speaker 3: They showed her surgery on that.
Speaker 2: Show, well they showed it might not have been hers,
Speaker 2: but she went she got lasick on the show, and
Speaker 2: she was super nervous and they gave her like apparently
Speaker 2: they gave her a bunch of value and it it
Speaker 2: still didn't work, and she was like all shaky and
Speaker 2: freaking out, which it's her eye. I would too, But
Speaker 2: they did show like she had to watch a video
Speaker 2: of what was going to be happening to her, which
Speaker 2: is a video of somebody getting lasick. So she was
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 3: They see I actually I've talked about this before.
Speaker 1: That I watched her my surgery and my hip replacement
Speaker 1: on a video, but it was suggested that I watch it,
Speaker 1: just like I think it's just as crazy to make
Speaker 1: someone watch an eye surgery before they get it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's why would you do it? I don't know
Speaker 2: what's the benefit?
Speaker 3: There was no, It just made me more scared.
Speaker 1: But I do have a pretty good understanding of what
Speaker 1: they did to me.
Speaker 2: But I but so what Yeah, I know, none of
Speaker 2: your business.
Speaker 3: Again, I'm on your show.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, when your dad, because my dad got some
Speaker 1: kind of lasick, but I think it was also cataract
Speaker 1: removal type surgery.
Speaker 3: But he's there.
Speaker 1: He was a little boy with Buddy holly Horn and
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, at like age seventy, he
Speaker 1: all of a sudden did not need glasses. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: which is crazy what.
Speaker 3: They can do.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's very cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just wears reading glasses like a normal person.
Speaker 3: He had glasses his whole life. Get your eyes peeled, everyone,
Speaker 3: that's our point.
Speaker 2: You do it, someone else do it, do it and
Speaker 2: then make.
Speaker 3: Them watch it.
Speaker 1: Make no no, oh, I can't wait for you to
Speaker 1: order me this drink. But yes, very excited for the
Speaker 1: day I get my eye surgery because I'm already tired
Speaker 1: of these things.
Speaker 5: Are those reading glasses for distance?
Speaker 3: They are three different lenses in one.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're progressives, sir, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5: When did you start teaching high school algebra?
Speaker 1: You can't see the line, but they are readers down
Speaker 1: here about six feet way up here. So we go
Speaker 1: from a two to a point five to nothing above.
Speaker 5: And so that's when you're rolling your eyes because you're
Speaker 5: so frustrated.
Speaker 1: No, I more wrench my neck in different positions to
Speaker 1: end my eyeballs at the right lens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's It does elicit a very strange chicken like
Speaker 2: action in the head area when you're using the first time.
Speaker 1: I am all neck with these glasses. Yeah, I am prodding.
Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of this. I'm acting it out
Speaker 1: so you can't see it.
Speaker 2: But he's eating dried corn right now, guys, new listeners,
Speaker 2: Chris is eating dried corn like a chicken.
Speaker 3: But it is something I had to get used to.
Speaker 1: When I go downstairs, I really press my chin against
Speaker 1: my chest because I need to see out of the
Speaker 1: mid zone. If I look down at stairs with the readers,
Speaker 1: the stairs are blurry and there's a chance that I
Speaker 1: will fall down stairs.
Speaker 2: Readers are not four stairs. No, no situation is that appropriate?
Speaker 1: No, So yeah, it's I'm I'm starting to think I
Speaker 1: should get those teacher croquies.
Speaker 2: Or whatever they're called, that hold among your head. Yeah,
Speaker 2: holdies in case you whip your head around real quick
Speaker 2: because you're looking through your readers thinking that someone's in
Speaker 2: front of you, but it's far away.
Speaker 1: And now I'm starting to understand why a lot of
Speaker 1: retired people have to flip up sunglasses. I wish these
Speaker 1: would turn to sunglasses occasionally. And I know I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get transitions.
Speaker 2: Please stop suggesting that you're going to get transition lenses.
Speaker 1: I will not.
Speaker 2: Please don't.
Speaker 1: The minute you walk into a room and they're halfway there,
Speaker 1: you are the scariest person.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. They're my least favorite thing I think
Speaker 2: on the planet, including oppression.
Speaker 3: Yes, especially when they're a tint of blue. Didn't get
Speaker 3: out of here?
Speaker 1: Oops?
Speaker 2: Am I in the wrong lane?
Speaker 1: No? If we are, it's my fault.
Speaker 2: Well, we have been podcasting, right, Look at her, the
Speaker 2: pretty lady.
Speaker 1: It's okay, we can catch up. We didn't want to
Speaker 1: go buy the wetlands? Oh good, We're gonna take a
Speaker 1: slight left here at.
Speaker 2: That works well?
Speaker 1: It says Verdugo woodlands, woodlands, wetlands. What's the difference?
Speaker 2: So I guess moisture, Yeah, trees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, this is good. I'm glad we made this mistake.
Speaker 1: This is good.
Speaker 2: But it looks like is it rerouting us? Now?
Speaker 1: I think they we were going to go around there,
Speaker 1: but now we're just going on this side of what
Speaker 1: appears to be a bike path.
Speaker 2: Oh are we in the bike lane?
Speaker 1: Yeah? We are?
Speaker 2: Is that bad?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Not in England. There's bikes everywhere. We're not in England,
Speaker 1: I know, but pretend we are. We'll just honk and
Speaker 1: all the old people on bikes.
Speaker 2: That's say, come up on the Sorry Paddington Bear. I'm
Speaker 2: swear to god, I've never driven in a car lane
Speaker 2: that has the bike thing in the middle like this.
Speaker 2: It should I be out of this lane.
Speaker 1: It really makes no sense. This is a lane for
Speaker 1: vehicle and in the middle of it there's a bike lane.
Speaker 3: Someone made a.
Speaker 1: Mistake this whole way. There's no way that this is
Speaker 1: for cars and also bikes.
Speaker 2: The bikes have been repeating for at least a mile
Speaker 2: and a half, so that would be someone fell asleep
Speaker 2: on the bike painting machine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made a mistake. Every twenty feet.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's just get out when there's a
Speaker 2: bike here.
Speaker 1: I don't trust strangers too in.
Speaker 2: Cars, we can only be responsible for ourselves.
Speaker 1: It's the scariest city to ride a bike. Yeah, Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I came here a bike rider and
Speaker 1: I am leaving here. Not when I move eventually. I
Speaker 1: haven't been planning it, okay, but one day I will
Speaker 1: probably leave this city. Thank you, Karen. Extender to right
Speaker 1: arm to keep me from smashing my face on the dash,
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate it every time I saw it
Speaker 1: coming too. Because you write reader length your fingers. I
Speaker 1: could I could tell because I could.
Speaker 3: Read your You know the word you have.
Speaker 1: On your knuckles, the.
Speaker 5: Tiniest little word faith, kind of faith.
Speaker 2: The tiniest thought could fit.
Speaker 1: And then on the other hand, no more, Oh Patton,
Speaker 1: you got an extra finger added for that. E Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm looking to have a second pinky installed. I really like.
Speaker 2: Faith no more for my pat he looks like a model.
Speaker 1: Say no more, Say no more. You're the third today.
Speaker 2: I saw him when I was fourteen, and it changed
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea, right.
Speaker 2: Tiny faith moment. For some reason, I was also picturing it,
Speaker 2: maybe because it's in a small font. I was picturing
Speaker 2: it in a also in a typewriter font.
Speaker 3: But on my hand, I think that that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, if I ever do get words.
Speaker 3: On my body, it's going to be tiny hel Helvetica.
Speaker 2: Is how they pronounce it in Sweden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is very Swedish. I do want whatever words
Speaker 1: I get on me, most likely in excess lyrics. It
Speaker 1: will be in typewriter or helvetica.
Speaker 5: Fon, just give me some examples. Don't change for you.
Speaker 2: Side blonde, just over and over, just like on repeat,
Speaker 2: stack at twelve suicide blondes up your arm.
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny that I can't think of any
Speaker 1: devil inside every single one of us, the devil inside
Speaker 1: arrow pointing to my bh. I did have one time
Speaker 1: at the Sprint store. I looked over at this guy's
Speaker 1: arm and he had little lyrics to beaut girl, a
Speaker 1: lesser known right before Michael Hutchin's passed uh song oh.
Speaker 1: And then I noticed another tattoo was in excess lyrics,
Speaker 1: And then I said, are your tattoos in excess lyrics?
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, I live in excess, and he had
Speaker 1: the full most recent in excess helvetica logo on his torso,
Speaker 1: and he showed me his torso. Wow, he really liked
Speaker 1: the band.
Speaker 5: Let's can I ask about the torso?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: Was it the kind like it's like, oh, you would
Speaker 2: have just had anything written on your torso. You're trying
Speaker 2: to show people your torso? Was it one of those?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: I think at some point he was an older guy.
Speaker 1: But I you know, it looked like you've been uh
Speaker 1: road hard and hung up wet.
Speaker 3: As they say, Did I.
Speaker 1: Mess us up?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I did, But oh we're good. We're good, You're good.
Speaker 5: Look what it's doing.
Speaker 2: It's telling that we're going this way, but then it
Speaker 2: says to be in that lane. So that's here.
Speaker 3: It is confusing.
Speaker 1: It's telling us to go right for the next ten
Speaker 1: feet in which and then at that point.
Speaker 4: It will veer.
Speaker 5: At that point, we're going to go straight into the
Speaker 5: chiropractic building.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, these are going to turn to Kirby. Nope,
Speaker 1: it's just telling you to go forward. Now what's it doing?
Speaker 2: Because it was the wrong thing? God damn it.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to go straight a little here is it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to go to that one. Oh too, I
Speaker 1: think this guy, maybe I'm guessing what was a roadie
Speaker 1: for an excess or something.
Speaker 3: He was so into the band that he had to
Speaker 3: be affiliated.
Speaker 2: I would hope. So like he earned it. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we didn't get a Starbucks.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Maybe we can do it with I think
Speaker 1: that James is a drinker of coffee, I would hope.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, this, God, this is confusing. All right, he'll get.
Speaker 1: Us back round.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did it wrong.
Speaker 3: No, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Well, it's hard to do this. This is not easy
Speaker 1: to drive and talk.
Speaker 2: And look at this and think of in excess lyrics.
Speaker 2: I'm so mad at myself because I listened. I've listened
Speaker 2: to every in Excess and I couldn't think of one
Speaker 2: fucking song.
Speaker 1: Shabou sha bah. That's an album.
Speaker 2: That's what he say when I'm upset about something. Oh,
Speaker 2: shabousha bah. You're fine.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think this is a good.
Speaker 2: No, it's not, God, damn everybody, it's you.
Speaker 1: No, it's me, I understand.
Speaker 2: Oh right, it's right fucking here. God damn it. Don't

Speaker 4: right names they got gave it. But I loved like
Speaker 4: Uncle Touplow and the son Vault and the Jayhawks.
Speaker 1: Right, I love Jayhawks.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited for it not to be coffee.
Speaker 4: It's willing.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give it a shot later. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: I was young, I was like, I don't like country music.
Speaker 1: It puts me in a bad mood. And now I
Speaker 1: don't feel that way, so I just wondered yet.
Speaker 4: I mean, I grew up like there was no radio
Speaker 4: like rock and roll radio and much less like indie
Speaker 4: radio or college town radio. Really, right, it was all
Speaker 4: like radio country and then like one classic rock station.
Speaker 4: And at that time I hated most radio country. You know,
Speaker 4: when you're a little kid, you listen to anything, but like.
Speaker 2: You know, well, country radio or radio country, whatever we're
Speaker 2: calling it, it is very distinct and it's almost like you.
Speaker 5: It's very singular.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's almost like.
Speaker 4: A different thing completely. It's pop, it's like and now
Speaker 4: Radio Country is almost like it's more racist, but it's
Speaker 4: more hip hoppy. It's weird.
Speaker 1: It's very weird. Yeah, yeah, it's I want to be interested.
Speaker 3: I want to give it.
Speaker 1: A chance, but I just don't like the whole scene.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, I was into Whaley and.
Speaker 5: Whalen and the boys, the boy.
Speaker 4: I loved the boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Can you let me merge mother fuck the highwaymen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all that stuff I discovered later in life, even
Speaker 1: though it was old.
Speaker 4: Christofferson so good. Yeah, just like for Christofferson records are
Speaker 4: so good.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy that Chris Christofferson is like as good.
Speaker 2: He's the Bo Jackson of acting and scene as good
Speaker 2: in one as the other. Yeah, what the fuck?
Speaker 4: And he can fly a helicopter.
Speaker 3: Wait, but he's a pilot too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like in the military and I think
Speaker 4: he was a pilot. There's a story I'm not sure
Speaker 4: if it's true or not, but it's the story that
Speaker 4: he landed as helicopter on Johnny Cash's lawn or something.
Speaker 5: Why did just to be like in his face about it?
Speaker 4: This would be like here's some songs or sometimes three
Speaker 4: of the songs out the window last.
Speaker 2: He came in like a traffic reporter pitching a song.
Speaker 2: Take him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Johnny was on a lot of drugs at
Speaker 4: that time, so he didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 1: So Chris Christofferson was a musician and then an actor, right,
Speaker 1: that makes sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that the order? I don't know.
Speaker 4: Well, I think they were both around the same time, right,
Speaker 4: because he wasn't Star is born right in like seventy
Speaker 4: two or something, I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, early seventies. That's the That is the era.
Speaker 2: When I was listening to AM, it was AM radio
Speaker 2: mid seventies, full on Gordon Lightfoot era, and it was
Speaker 2: like you're always in a hot station wagon with that
Speaker 2: AM radio on, and like you had to be a
Speaker 2: lyrics person, oh yeah, because you basically heard the same
Speaker 2: twenty five songs.
Speaker 4: And the sound systems weren't that great, so all you
Speaker 4: were hearing was the trouble and the lyrics. So the
Speaker 4: lyrics had been good.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. It was just a radio with one with
Speaker 2: the one speaker coming out of the center console.
Speaker 1: I just now realized that is why I never grew
Speaker 1: up with country as both my parents in the car.
Speaker 1: It was it was very frowned upon. Country was not
Speaker 1: the music that was allowed in the country wasn't cool.
Speaker 1: I could listen to anything else, No Man, No Mandrell's Sisters.
Speaker 3: It was our favorite show, No strided or watched every week.
Speaker 1: My good friends.
Speaker 4: Yes, And whenever I think of he Haw, I get
Speaker 4: the sense memory of my mother, my mother doing a self.
Speaker 2: Permanent yeah, because that's syndicated weekend TV.
Speaker 4: That's what he has Saturday at like seven.
Speaker 2: Yes, a weird time where you're like, is someone going
Speaker 2: to make dinner? Or has everything collapsed in this household?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all just waiting around to die. Right, I'm hungry?
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 1: Does anyone else hit them in the butt? All right,
Speaker 1: I'll live another work week.
Speaker 2: I guess I'll eat cheetos. That's fine, whatever, whatever works.
Speaker 2: Have to be real flexible on those he Haw days.
Speaker 2: I think though, you Chris maybe had just like I
Speaker 2: lived out in the country, and we the area we
Speaker 2: lived in was considered kind of country ish, right, And
Speaker 2: obviously if you're from Kentucky, then anywhere your war is
Speaker 2: kind of countryish, right, So you're being kind of catered
Speaker 2: to in that way that probably wasn't happening oh in Montana.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there goes my theory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every school dance, all it was was country, and
Speaker 1: all all the kids in my class had trucks with
Speaker 1: rifles in the window, so it was it was definitely there.
Speaker 3: I just was pushing it away because I.
Speaker 4: Guess it was an interesting time because it was all country.
Speaker 4: But then it was like there was tons of classic
Speaker 4: rock too, like yeah, scannered and more skinnered.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, a ton of Skinner, Triple Dose, Skinnered, Triple Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Oh rock Block, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: But yeah, I guess, like I mean, grunge did hit
Speaker 4: so big then, like you know that shit kind of
Speaker 4: got played on the radio too. Yeah, but yeah, MTV
Speaker 4: and v H one were like more formative than radio
Speaker 4: was for me.
Speaker 2: And they didn't you had to go all the way
Speaker 2: over to CMT to get a country right, right.
Speaker 1: I had to like be flipping through the channels late
Speaker 1: at night, against the wishes of my parents. I think
Speaker 1: I'm also lucky that I had an older sister that
Speaker 1: would come home with.
Speaker 3: Music for me that she thought I should be listening to.
Speaker 1: Being a little boy that liked skateboarders, Oh yeah, skateboard.
Speaker 4: My sister was two years older, and she had a
Speaker 4: buddy who was a music junkie like me, and we
Speaker 4: would just trade, you know, every like three months, we'd
Speaker 4: trade like five cities to each other. And he's the
Speaker 4: one who turned me on too, like Pavement.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Was it an older friend my sister?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that helps you need like
Speaker 1: an older friend that's given you like, oh, you you
Speaker 1: haven't heard about this because I'm in eighth grade and
Speaker 1: you're in sixth. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, and we had to drive like to paduca
Speaker 4: even like buy a CD. So like Paducah that was
Speaker 4: our big city. I was like forty five minutes away.
Speaker 4: Nice and so like you know, even buying a new seat,
Speaker 4: buying news, going record shopping was like a big special
Speaker 4: day for me.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I would buy like magazines and just read about bands.
Speaker 4: You know, you had to really search for it. I
Speaker 4: like this band, and they like these five bands. I'll
Speaker 4: get into those five bands.
Speaker 1: You're right. I did do that too, Yeah, like find
Speaker 1: the specific sections of a rolling stone in the library
Speaker 1: in high school. That's how I found out about you know,
Speaker 1: the pick seats and things like that. That is it's
Speaker 1: funny that we had to used to we had to
Speaker 1: we had to use to get into magazine.
Speaker 4: We didn't have no algorism. But the H one actually
Speaker 4: was really cool. For like two or three years there.
Speaker 4: They had a show called Crossroads and they that's where
Speaker 4: I saw the Jayhawks for the first time, and like
Speaker 4: Sun Vault and Wilco and I also had that storytelling
Speaker 4: show that like Tom Waits and that was Consolidate Episodes.
Speaker 4: It was like, oh yeah, and then Flavor Flav came.
Speaker 2: To town and said I need to find love. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he he has a right, he has a right.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember VH one seemed like it was for the
Speaker 1: older folks. MTV was the hip, young one. And then
Speaker 1: one day I realized, oh, VH one still plays music.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch that.
Speaker 4: You don't like twenty four hours of ridiculousness?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean that it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1: near the tail. Oh, but I any dog that has
Speaker 1: like super short, pug like hair. I'm for some reason, we're.
Speaker 4: Buying a giant.
Speaker 2: This high school looks like it is a movie that
Speaker 2: we're driving by. Yeah, hey, kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am jealous of I wish I went to
Speaker 1: high school like that, not a not.
Speaker 3: A log cabin like I went to. We had a
Speaker 3: gorgeous art.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is our.
Speaker 2: Basketball gymnasium at our high school is also called the
Speaker 2: multi Use Room, and like so every other thing took
Speaker 2: place in there, and they after a while they wouldn't
Speaker 2: let us play volleyball in there or like do actual
Speaker 2: sports in there because it was starting to hurt at
Speaker 2: children's knees because the floor.
Speaker 5: Was built so old and badly. So it's just like.
Speaker 2: Just so rank as.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, that place.
Speaker 2: Had its own like led board out in front.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's insane. It looked familiar enough that I'm going
Speaker 1: to insist that high school was used in movies.
Speaker 4: Run Up. They used to make us when I thought
Speaker 4: I could do football, to try to please my father,
Speaker 4: they paid us crawl on all fours upwards and backwards
Speaker 4: up this dirt steep dirt hill at the end of practice,
Speaker 4: and would refuse to give us water during the summer.
Speaker 1: Crawl on your hands and knees backwards up dirt hill
Speaker 1: with full gear arms. Shit, that seems like a weird
Speaker 1: made up I don't think anyone else had to do that.
Speaker 4: And then like some high school kid died in Texas
Speaker 4: and they were I guess we've got to start giving
Speaker 4: them water now.
Speaker 5: But that got you all the way to state, didn't.
Speaker 1: It kind of from dehydration while crawling.
Speaker 2: To success The James Fritz story.
Speaker 5: Look at where the I mean, this is gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we wander into a state park. I think that's
Speaker 1: what's happening. It's happened a few times where this is gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Look that's all of a sudden, the shrubbery is from Atlanta.
Speaker 4: How is the air bad here? That never makes sense
Speaker 4: to me just on an eye eye test level, there's
Speaker 4: so much green.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well suddenly, since we turned that corner it's green.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're in like coastal Oregon.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Look at this wall.
Speaker 2: I keep thinking of to stop saying.
Speaker 5: This wall of cypress tree.
Speaker 1: Is that a member of the Getty family? Prevacly shrubbery?

Speaker 3: Yeah, these are these are beautiful home.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to work anymore.
Speaker 1: We are all think about it. We're all similar in

Speaker 4: I just hope these people come to a show and
Speaker 4: I can make them laugh. They need a laugh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, James's material and these new listeners. You should know this.
Speaker 2: People of locking Down of flint Ridge, you should know it.
Speaker 2: If you go to a James Fritz show, you're going
Speaker 2: to relate.
Speaker 4: First of all, they're never called that.
Speaker 2: A James Fritz show.
Speaker 4: You just are. I'm one of eight.
Speaker 5: That's your style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Otherwise it would be the James Fritz Show.
Speaker 2: Dun James. If you could have any kind of a
Speaker 2: TV show, talk show, scripted DOCU series, what would you
Speaker 2: like the James Fritz Show to be?
Speaker 1: Yes, pitch it, manifest it. I'm listening. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure.
Speaker 4: WHOA, This is a lot I've never pitched and manifested
Speaker 4: at the same time a lot. WHOA Which do I
Speaker 4: do first?
Speaker 2: I would like to replace Bill Maher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a great actor.
Speaker 4: Did Boulder?
Speaker 3: Has anyone ever.
Speaker 1: Right on top of them? Actually his place has been
Speaker 1: solidified with this giant Boulder.
Speaker 4: What do you think in Wiley Coyotes?
Speaker 3: What did you die under a rock?
Speaker 4: Did you do?
Speaker 1: You remember acting in the film with me where you
Speaker 1: had to be a flush looking through a will bequeathment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you nailed that. That was fun. Thanks. And then I
Speaker 1: remember thinking James Fritz should be acting. I remember you
Speaker 1: saying that natural ability just reacting.
Speaker 4: You know, I've watched a lot of documentaries about it.
Speaker 4: You know, I act like I'm funny on stage right.
Speaker 4: That's the biggest conival when I say it's good to
Speaker 4: be here tonight. Is that not acting?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: People say I've been a great crowd, Am I not? Apian? No,
Speaker 4: that was fun. I was nervous because you're a very funny,
Speaker 4: good actor.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, I mean.
Speaker 4: I before I even knew you, well, I shared some
Speaker 4: I lapped just thinking about it again, the uh what
Speaker 4: was it? Cocktail parody?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Well, it's the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: Thanks.
Speaker 3: Betty, that's a situation.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of show that I'm going to say
Speaker 1: you're pitching is because I want there to be a
Speaker 1: show where it's just people by themselves in front of
Speaker 1: a green screen. It's so disarming. And then all the
Speaker 1: elements that make acting hard, like a room full of people,
Speaker 1: or the process of getting a job, which is people
Speaker 1: silently judging you from a table, making you think that
Speaker 1: maybe you're doing a bad job. All that is gone
Speaker 1: and you're just in front of a green piece of
Speaker 1: construction paper. And then we put you into a world
Speaker 1: so you can just send us the footage.
Speaker 3: That would be the funnest show to make.
Speaker 4: Oh and you could literally be in any movie, right
Speaker 4: except the lawsuits.
Speaker 5: You're right, and you have to do some IP clearance
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, there is a world of uh, public domain movies.
Speaker 1: They're bad movies, and those are the funnest ones to
Speaker 1: put people in. Just you and the right brothers, over
Speaker 1: and over right, exactly, archival footage.
Speaker 4: Train coming at you again again.
Speaker 2: Again, do something new with it.
Speaker 3: I think it would be the best show.
Speaker 4: Really. Oh No, I got electrified elephant. That's a bomber.
Speaker 2: No, I got a decaying Fox.
Speaker 4: It's just oh the wilderness almost got a spit taking
Speaker 4: your nice.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you're back in the car.
Speaker 2: James Frits. Wait, James Fritz have we ever had the
Speaker 2: discussion with you about how you are one of our
Speaker 2: most popular guests on do you need to write?
Speaker 4: No, No one talks to me about it.
Speaker 1: We should have relayed that to you. That should have been.
Speaker 4: Oh, when we said COVID wasn't gonna be a big deal.
Speaker 2: Way back when. Look, we had our opinions.
Speaker 1: And then the world ended.
Speaker 2: We're only human.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get I think we're gonna I think global
Speaker 4: warming is just about over.
Speaker 2: We're wrapping it up.
Speaker 5: The billionaires have our backs.
Speaker 1: Boy, I need to listen to old episodes and discover
Speaker 1: all these empty promises we made.
Speaker 2: We we actually did research, though, because they went into
Speaker 2: like look through for rebookings and stuff, and they just
Speaker 2: looked at the numbers of each podcast episode for this podcast.
Speaker 5: And you're I think you're right up there top.
Speaker 4: Three that Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, I hope You're hate listens
Speaker 4: count as numbers too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: It's all traffic. That's all they care about.
Speaker 2: Traffic's money, baby, So your hate is paying our bills.
Speaker 1: Your your podcast episode is like a podcast version of
Speaker 1: the movie The Room, which I that's hate watched right
Speaker 1: The Room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it may have come all the way around to.
Speaker 4: Being love wise, Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: Wow, I've never I've seen clips of it online.
Speaker 4: It's actually fun, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So people, it's like Rocky horror picture show. People throw
Speaker 1: things at it and yell things out like that. It's
Speaker 1: an interactive thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, because I think the guy just ran it
Speaker 4: here and it just became like a midnight movie here. Yeah,
Speaker 4: back in the day, and he like just put billboards up.
Speaker 2: I was living in Los Angeles when those billboards went up, sincerely,
Speaker 2: like the first time around. They were on Highland, and
Speaker 2: I'll never forget being like why would that guy have
Speaker 2: a billboard? And then slowly but surely this story came
Speaker 2: out of like what exactly this was all about?
Speaker 3: He had multiple Yeah, they were all over when I
Speaker 3: visited this.
Speaker 1: We talk about this week all the time where I
Speaker 1: was yet to move here and I just showed up
Speaker 1: at Howard Kramer's with a skateboard on my backpack and
Speaker 1: drive me to the haha. Cafe in all these places,
Speaker 1: but there was the room billboard gone for oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you can have your caffeine and some laughs to exactly.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know much about it, but it was everywhere.
Speaker 1: And someone said, yeah, it's like a wealthy guy that
Speaker 1: promotes his own film, which I think is true, right,
Speaker 1: and they have money for some reason.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean if he had billboard money, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And then the room billboard was just his face, real
Speaker 1: close up and he looks very scary in it, and
Speaker 1: I thought it was a horror movie. Then I was
Speaker 1: at the twenty four hour fitness in Venice and this
Speaker 1: very stringy, veiny man asked me to a slim good body.
Speaker 1: He's he's just a slim good fellow. He asked me
Speaker 1: to spot him. So he was bench pressing, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: where have I seen this scary faced man? But and
Speaker 1: then he wanted me to bench press, which I don't
Speaker 1: usually do.
Speaker 3: But he was wearing this seems like I'm making up.
Speaker 1: He's wearing wearing very very short shorts and they and
Speaker 1: my you know where my head was in relation and
Speaker 1: yes I saw them his balls, but but he it
Speaker 1: took me put his balls over you. He just was
Speaker 1: wearing a running short and they were short and anyway,
Speaker 1: I've seen that guy. He's a confident man. I don't
Speaker 1: know his name. What's his name.
Speaker 3: I've seen his balls. That's the point. That's not even
Speaker 3: where the story was going.
Speaker 1: And what's more about the balls?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 3: They were perfect?
Speaker 4: But but that was it took me and his balls.
Speaker 3: I think it was days.
Speaker 1: Later when I saw like a YouTube video making fun
Speaker 1: of his acting and that, and then I realized that's
Speaker 1: who it was.
Speaker 5: That said those balls look familiar.
Speaker 1: I thought he was like a rocker or something. He
Speaker 1: looked like an ex rock and roll guy. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: and he was very muscular. He was like a tiny
Speaker 1: little muscleman. I think he worked harder on that than
Speaker 1: right thee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he should have taken a cold reading class,
Speaker 2: but you know he wouldn't. Who am I to say?
Speaker 2: When how it was a very successful?
Speaker 1: Uh project?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 2: Overall?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I guess it was.
Speaker 4: And everyone knows about it, and they made a movie
Speaker 4: about it, which I never watched. Yeah, how much he
Speaker 4: got paid for that?
Speaker 1: Oh? Right?
Speaker 3: Was he in that movie?
Speaker 1: Also?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I believe so right, it's because I think Paul
Speaker 2: sheer got into it and was like the champion of
Speaker 2: that whole movement. And then I think he's.
Speaker 1: In the movie, the movie about the Room, but none
Speaker 1: of us will remember what it's called.
Speaker 2: I bet it's.
Speaker 1: Called the Room.
Speaker 2: It's like him and James Franco.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah it is.

Speaker 4: soft Oh shit. Wow it was crazy for like red
Speaker 4: shoe diaries basically.
Speaker 1: Wow.

Speaker 4: culture ship going on now, Like I kind of feel
Speaker 4: like I've already lived through a lot of that. It's

Speaker 4: time they took all the kids out of uh out
Speaker 4: of like what was that. It's like elementary school aren't
Speaker 4: like fourth or fifth grade. My mother was a teacher,
Speaker 4: so she didn't take me out of school. She's like,
Speaker 4: you're staying in school. But like a lot of parents

Speaker 4: found like what they thought were satanic paintings on a
Speaker 4: cave wall near the school.

Speaker 4: old preacher, like an old timey one, and the church
Speaker 4: was smaller the church I grew up in. And then
Speaker 4: he retired, and then we got like a real like
Speaker 4: a televangelist style, right, and the church fucking exploded and
Speaker 4: and and he was, you know, just yelling about gay
