00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: They traveled around it right right, right, right right, which

113
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I drove a van in high school that was similar

114
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: to the Mystery Machine. My dad had a Chevy van

115
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: that I would sometimes use as my car to drive

116
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: to high school, which had you guys won't know what this.

117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: It was a manual transmission. But it's called three on

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: a tree. It's just three gears. It's up here. Okay,

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: you got the clutch, but you're shifting. He just hauled

120
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: his music equipment around. And it was a windowless van.

121
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: This doesn't sound good, no, But the Mystery Machine I

122
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: don't think had windows either. Was it really cool? That

123
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: when you would drive that van tour. Because I remember

124
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: being in high school and kids who had cars like that.

125
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: It was like we were all like, we got to

126
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: get in that car. It was cool because it was

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of beat up, yeah, and a little bit a

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: little bit vengacie. I hung out with a group of

129
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: friends who liked doing weird stuff, so we celebrated the

130
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: nonconformist kind of thing. While all these young Irvine suburban

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: kids had brand new cars. I had this beat up

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: yeah equipment van that became cool banana yellow. Yes. Yeah.

133
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,680

134
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: like a big yellow truck, YEP truck, and it was

135
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: like the coolest thing. Like I grew up kind of

00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: your Molly in near Shaker, and we both did, and

137
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of kids who had these

138
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: really nice cars, but I feel like that yellow yeah

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: truck was like I had a lot of bumper stickers

140
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: on my car, like just covered with band We actually

141
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: would sneak bumper stickers on each other's cars to mess, Okay,

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Like I would come out and there just be a

143
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: US Marines bumper stickers on the back of the other Cardro,

144
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: which was a beat up VW bug Okay, yeah, they

145
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: got me. So we'd have bumpers really funny. Yeah. Jonah

146
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: drove a Jetta and it was like we would drive

147
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: in to school and he would be like blasting no

148
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: effects and stuff and felt but I felt so cool.

149
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Believe it or not. I wasn't very punk in high school.

150
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: That's hard to believe, Jonah. And so I'd come in

151
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: like so studious and all my books, but we'd be blasting,

152
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: like you know you got a little street credit, yeah,

153
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: and I'd feel like, I guess I'm getting out of

154
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: my brother's car. I was probably sometimes annoyed because we

155
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: were late, but like I was, I was like so

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: like I felt like it was such a cool way

157
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: to show up to school, you know, like whatever, I

158
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: guess I'm just listening to this punk music and that

159
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: but scooted back to Scooby Doo music. They always have

160
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: a music montage. Oh yeah, yeah, I was thought that

161
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: was so cool. Yeah, do you remember like being a

162
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: kid on Saturday mornings and watching it or like do

163
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: you have a memory of what that? I just knew

164
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: I was like early Riser. Yeah, I would get it,

165
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: and there was just kind of a lineup between like

166
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Scooby Doo, Sigment and the Sea Monster okay, and Johnny Quest. Yeah.

167
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: It was a big Saturday morning part. Yeah. Here's where

168
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: I was also a weird. My younger brother, though, still

169
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't wake up before I would, okay. And I loved

170
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: playing Monopoly okay by myself because the whole house was

171
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: still sleeping. Yeah. And so I would set up the

172
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: board and i'd play, and then when it wasn't my turn,

173
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: I'd sneak into my mom's room and I would move

174
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: her piece. I'd set up for two players, okay, I

175
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: would be you know, the dog or the guitar or

176
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: the shoe or whatever. I'd move around the board and

177
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: then what was the other person's certain I roll for

178
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: them they'd land on and so I'd go into my

179
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: mom's or like, Mom, yes or no? On park place.

180
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: She'd been like what, just say yes or no. She'd

181
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: be like no, ok, which means she didn't want to

182
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: buy it. Yeah, I whole rounds of playing until everyone

183
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: finally woke up. What a patient kid. The patience? Yeah,

184
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: did you find like having that money? We played kind

185
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: of a lot of Monopoly in our house and I

186
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: remember just like the feeling of having a lot of

187
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: that money just truly made me feel rich and like,

188
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I just it was hard for me to like give

189
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: up that money. I have a money story too, I

190
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: have two money stories, right, so yes, I can totally

191
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: identify with it. And I always felt like we were

192
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: running out of five five hundred dollar bills. Yeah there

193
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: was in plenty of hundreds, but the five hundreds would

194
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: go through quickly. Okay, okay, maybe there were less. Yeah.

195
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: There was a neighborhood across the street from the apartment

196
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: complex I grew up in was Damber Drugs, and I

197
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: was walking through the toy section one day. You could

198
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: buy refills of Monopoly money. I've never heard of that. Wow,

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: let's just say the only time I've ever shoplifted. I

200
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: took a stack of five hundreds. I stole fake money,

201
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: and I put in my pocket and I walked out

202
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: really stiffly. I'm sure if there was a camera, I'd

203
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: be like the worst kid actor. Very I'm just I'm

204
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: walking out of the drug store. No, no need to

205
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: look over here. And then I ran home and I

206
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: stole Monopoly money to add to our games. We had

207
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: plenty of five hundreds. Oh my god, and you still

208
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: remember it? You still, of course I still remember. What

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: a big yeah. And then I brought I didn't realize

210
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about money, But is this the

211
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: other story? I brought my favorite Christmas present that I

212
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: got this year from my wife. It's a little at

213
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: a shakecase. Guess what, It's filled with tiny stacks of money.

214
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: Everyone here in the room. That's like ten grand at

215
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: least she got this worry. That's such a great Yeah,

216
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: and you keep it on your person. I just thought,

217
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: maybe we'll talk about this today. Maybe there's will be

218
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: a good reason for me to show you guys, Yeah,

219
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: you knew you're meeting with the bears, money might come out.

220
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: And then and then that relates to snla because when

221
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: I met Lauren, because I had read a story about

222
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: how Adam Sandler did something where he just pretended to

223
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: hump a chair or something and was signed on the spot. Okay,

224
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: And I remember reading that going, you know what, he

225
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't worry about pleasantries or he just was like funny

226
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: right away and they signed him and that's the way

227
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, And so I thought if and

228
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: I knew I had to meet Lauren for my second audition.

229
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: It was a meeting before you, and I thought, I'm

230
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: going to walk in with a briefcase. I'm going to

231
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: fill it full of fake counterfeit money, and as he's

232
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: talking to me, I'm just going to go, like, Lauren,

233
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: we can all talk till the cows come home, but

234
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: we all know there's only one thing that really talks,

235
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's hard gold cash. And I was going to

236
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: open it up and set it on his desk, and

237
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: then I was gonna like, so I'm gonna walk out

238
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: of this room, and no one needs to know. You

239
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: can take that money or you don't have to whatever,

240
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: and you can decide whether I should be on this

241
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: show or not. So I walked into the room and

242
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Steve Higgins had just been hired as a producer with

243
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: a brief comedian walks into a room with a briefcase,

244
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: a leather briefcase. It wasn't even a cool looking one.

245
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: And I walk in. I can tell the vibe is

246
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: not for joking around, and it was super serious and

247
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I got so freaked

248
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: out and I never got to my bit. So I'm

249
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: just holding a briefcase. Did he ask you what it was?

250
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: What a funny thing? Ever? A weird, shy quiet It's

251
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: supposed to be funny, Like I'm supposed to be humping

252
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: a chair. My inspiration was gonna go, hump a chair

253
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: is something active? And I'm just like, uh huh, well

254
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking about doing this character. I wouldn't do that.

255
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay. Finally, after twenty minutes, Higgins goes, nice briefcase.

256
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, thanks, it's like anything else you want

257
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: to ask me, I'm like no, I walked out and

258
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: I never knew. I told him later and he thought

259
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: it was so funny that I couldn't pull the trigger

260
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: on the bit. So anyway,
