Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, guys.
Speaker 4: In the backseat.
Speaker 1: We have a guest, the special guests this week.
Speaker 6: Special because he's one of my oldest friends but not dearest,
Speaker 6: So that's a special situation.
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen that oftentimes we start the podcast with
Speaker 5: a thinly veiled would almost sound look like an insult.
Speaker 1: That's what I choose to do. It's kind of nineties comedy.
Speaker 4: We we have a guest today that's a dear friend.
Speaker 1: That's the nineties comedy uppercut. Oh yeah, yeah, that he
Speaker 1: and I are used to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the old one to punch with an edge.
Speaker 3: That's right. Wouldn't you say, dearest friend is overrated anyway? Yeah,
Speaker 3: my dear friend. It means is it's a lot of
Speaker 3: like boring times. Yeah, puzzles, puzzles just at the doorway
Speaker 3: of somebody's house, going right, That was really nice. Glad
Speaker 3: you did that. Okay, Well, I guess I might see
Speaker 3: tomorrow then. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you don't, if you die first, know that
Speaker 1: you were dear to me.
Speaker 5: And it always smells like doi lacing here we're talking
Speaker 5: about grandma's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, being friends with grandma. My grandma's are the dearest.
Speaker 6: But that's not who it is, no, gentlemen, it's Fred Armison,
Speaker 6: Fred Armadsen.
Speaker 3: Hi, everybody. Karen was right. I've known Karen for a
Speaker 3: very long time. And yeah, how long?
Speaker 4: How long since?
Speaker 3: Details? Two thousand? Maybe two thousand actually is it? I
Speaker 3: think it's two thousand. That's when I first moved to
Speaker 3: la and in that year is when I started going
Speaker 3: to Largo, So I would say two thousand maybe two
Speaker 3: thousand and one, but I actually think it's two thousand.
Speaker 1: See because I was gonna say eighty nine, So that's weird.
Speaker 5: What year was it, Fred, when you went to a
Speaker 5: dance place and took dance classes like tap clances, tap
Speaker 5: classes and made a.
Speaker 3: Video of it. That was in nineteen ninety eight?
Speaker 4: Okay, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did that in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 4: So it's weird. I've known Fred longer than you. No,
Speaker 4: just let's see.
Speaker 5: I equate the internet watching a video as a friendship.
Speaker 3: But it is a friendship. It is because I'm so shallow,
Speaker 3: I'm so thin in personality that that's all that matters
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: If people watch your video, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's that's all I need to know.
Speaker 1: You have much more friends.
Speaker 3: Then, Yeah, I've got lots of friends. And Chris, I
Speaker 3: guess I performed with you in at Bumber Shoot. Yeah.

Speaker 5: but we were certainly on the same venue during the
Speaker 5: same weekend.
Speaker 3: That's in Seattle. Is where that happens.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, And a lot of people mistakenly say bumper Shoot.
Speaker 4: Boy, are they wrong? It's bumber Shoot with a B.

Speaker 5: When Tike and I had a cat, I lived with
Speaker 5: Tig for a while and we had a cat, and
Speaker 5: then Nick came over.
Speaker 4: I tell you about this where the cat was sick.
Speaker 5: And its face was swollen and take and I neither
Speaker 5: of us had money, and I was really worried about it.
Speaker 5: Nick cat money, and he said, well, I'll I'll take
Speaker 5: the cat to the bat. And he came over and
Speaker 5: he looked at the cat's and and they turned around
Speaker 5: and farted on my cat's head. He just farted in
Speaker 5: the cat's face to where the cat reacted, and then
Speaker 5: he said, oh, your cat.
Speaker 4: Has feline aids and then which.
Speaker 5: He farted on the cat's face and then and then
Speaker 5: decided that the cat had aids.
Speaker 4: What's two favorite drips. But then the cat did end
Speaker 4: up dying of aides.
Speaker 1: He was right in his diagnosis.
Speaker 5: It was a few years later, and I'm not saying
Speaker 5: that's funny, but it was at the time.
Speaker 1: I think feline aids is definitely funny.
Speaker 4: It was I missed that.
Speaker 3: Cats of cats. You will not ever see a cat
Speaker 3: laughing at that or anything. What's terrible about that fart
Speaker 3: is that animals, you know, cats don't understand human language,
Speaker 3: but that is one piece of language you understand that
Speaker 3: it clearly insulted by like a smell and a sound
Speaker 3: like it is like, it's amazing. It's like the one
Speaker 3: bridge to animals communication. And they're like, oh, we get
Speaker 3: I get what that is.
Speaker 5: That's an inner special inso special.
Speaker 4: Everyone knows where the part is.
Speaker 1: Everyone gets odor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, old shooting oder at someone is like animals across
Speaker 3: the world. They're like, oh, we got it.
Speaker 1: There's no animal culture whereouts a compliment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll never forget that reaction that cat.
Speaker 5: Also, I saw him walk into a spider web once
Speaker 5: and he acted like a human like.
Speaker 4: He went and looked at his Bodycy if there's a
Speaker 4: spider on him?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 4: He was like, oh no, and he he was a
Speaker 4: gifted He was a gifted cat.
Speaker 3: That's the only in that situation is where all animals
Speaker 3: in their heads say god damn it.
Speaker 6: Even cats, everyone's got up by spider webs.
Speaker 3: No one likes them.
Speaker 1: So you were recently in South America?
Speaker 3: Yes, I was in Colombia. What were you doing shooting
Speaker 3: an episode of documentary? Now?
Speaker 4: Oh cool?

Speaker 3: Yeah wow, yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, so that was
Speaker 3: really nice.
Speaker 4: The ground like a Killner something.

Speaker 3: they just did it for the camera and they're like,
Speaker 3: let's pretend like we do this and we don't really
Speaker 3: we just yeah, we'll just be oh yeah, we bury it.
Speaker 3: So are left by the way, we're passing the Hollywood
Speaker 3: Forever Cemetery. Yes, where Johnny Ramone is buried. It's got
Speaker 3: a really cool uh statue there. Ramone is here as well.
Speaker 1: I would think they'd be in New York. Aren't they
Speaker 1: from New York?
Speaker 3: Yeah? But you know how like New Yorkers are, like
Speaker 3: they all want to go to like Miami or California,
Speaker 3: you know, to die. I'm gonna do with the palm trees,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to do my upper my torso west coast, my.
Speaker 4: Legs east coast.

Speaker 3: Oh you're gonna split it up. Sure, ashes are just
Speaker 3: at the actual torso, like you're gonna leave it.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, that's a better idea. You're right, Maybe you
Speaker 4: should do that. Just taxidermy them.
Speaker 1: Or just go split yourself.
Speaker 5: Everyone should get an equal I'm symmetrical. Let's take advantage
Speaker 5: of that. Yeah, right down the middle.
Speaker 1: Full body part like a tapeworm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna do an open casket and it's
Speaker 3: gonna be just the torso and it'll be like, like, what,
Speaker 3: what's the problem.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be.
Speaker 3: Like confrontational art, like, yes, that's what death looks like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, deal with look at it.
Speaker 4: It'll be a recording of you saying that. That'll play
Speaker 4: as people passed.
Speaker 3: I might hire an actor to.
Speaker 6: Do it, and then you can sit in the audience
Speaker 6: and watch, Yes, my skull give your own eulogy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in South America, you speak Spanish, Well don't you.

Speaker 5: looks like a regular talk show, but the host has
Speaker 5: clown makeup, yeah, and a pink wig. But he's very funny.

Speaker 3: And never going up towards Sunset Boulevard. Yeah, I love
Speaker 3: La so much for real, I really do. I've always
Speaker 3: loved it. And for some reason, I feel like Sunset
Speaker 3: Boulevard is like the center, that's like the kind of
Speaker 3: main street of La.
Speaker 6: Wells, and it goes all the way through east side
Speaker 6: of the west side.
Speaker 1: All the way.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I feel like I don't even live here
Speaker 5: because I live at the dumb Beach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, all the way out.
Speaker 6: Wait, Fred, Now, when you live here and you would
Speaker 6: go to sun Set Boulevard, what was what's like the
Speaker 6: first place you think of that you would go to
Speaker 6: the mean streets of Sunset Boulevard.
Speaker 3: Like when I first moved here and stuff. Sure, I
Speaker 3: remember somewhere in between, like where Amiba is and like
Speaker 3: that whole uh.
Speaker 4: Ask I'd say, be somewhere Ivar sunset.
Speaker 3: Sunset and Ivar.
Speaker 4: You would straight to Ivar seafood restaurant.
Speaker 3: And then as it dips into like Silver Lake and
Speaker 3: all that. It's just that's a nice feeling, you know,
Speaker 3: the little places you can get breakfast. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3: And then and then going west, I like it when
Speaker 3: you just end up in Beverly Hills, you're like by
Speaker 3: the hotel and everything.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a higher cut of person.
Speaker 3: Maybe foreign. Maybe they're from you know, China, or uh,
Speaker 3: maybe they're of Saudi. No, Karen said, a higher upset
Speaker 3: high high.
Speaker 4: It's fun to pretend racism.
Speaker 1: It's pretending. It's pretending.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like blah blah, it's like blah blahing
Speaker 3: or demons. What is it. It's it's like exercise, exercising.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's what podcasting is all about.
Speaker 5: I mean, chasing away any real thoughts that maybe would
Speaker 5: happen to me like that, but they don't.
Speaker 3: Hey, while we're doing this, really quick, everyone out there
Speaker 3: listening listen to podcasts. Get out there, get a podcast
Speaker 3: listen please. You know we do this for free, but
Speaker 3: people should start getting paid for it. Get out there,
Speaker 3: tell your friends that there's a podcast out there for everybody,
Speaker 3: any podcast you know, and if you like it, rate
Speaker 3: it on iTunes.
Speaker 1: What's bread what's your favorite podcast?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one called the trap Set and it's a
Speaker 3: drummer who interviews other drummers. But yeah, he loves it
Speaker 3: and it's the drummer Interviews of the dru But there
Speaker 3: are no drums in the room, so it's not like
Speaker 3: people show off what they can do. They just talk
Speaker 3: about what their experiences and it's really cool. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and who's the host this This guy named Joe Wong,
Speaker 3: that's his name, and was in a band. He's been
Speaker 3: in a number of bands. He's been in a number
Speaker 3: of bands. But he has a really nice voice and
Speaker 3: he's just really good at interviewing people very calm, very
Speaker 3: calm asks people about their experiences and he doesn't get
Speaker 3: all hyped up and.
Speaker 4: Crazy right like Morning Zoo Radio.
Speaker 3: Nothing like that. And he also doesn't do duos, which
Speaker 3: is like the worst way to do a podcast, which
Speaker 3: is like sorry, sorry, sorry for we're also energy and.
Speaker 1: Comparing us to do with my traffic really rough?
Speaker 4: You put me kind of thing I do.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, this is what he does.
Speaker 5: We were already talking about Karen and I were saying,
Speaker 5: we need some tough love.
Speaker 4: We haven't had any of them on the show.
Speaker 6: Now, when you were on a show like that, a
Speaker 6: drumming show, do you do since there aren't drums, do
Speaker 6: people end up playing.
Speaker 1: Their chest the way drummers love to do and stuff
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 3: No, it's it all is like what are your influences?
Speaker 3: Who did you used to listen to? Who did you
Speaker 3: want to be? And what is your drum set like?
Speaker 3: And where where you know? Uh, what's it like dealing
Speaker 3: with bass players like that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: So if you don't play drums, maybe it would be
Speaker 5: like my future skateboarding podcast kind of boring.
Speaker 3: Right if you if you don't for drummers, they love it.
Speaker 3: It's of course you know they love it. It's like
Speaker 3: that's so such a specific audience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that. I like gets so specific with Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do his skateboarding.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was almost gonna make a joke like it's
Speaker 3: not for fans of blank, Like I was gonna think
Speaker 3: of a teeny bopper band, But I am. You could
Speaker 3: instantly like aide yourself by like what reference you use,
Speaker 3: and I don't know the right reference, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Like, I don't have that person to go like,
Speaker 3: it's not like a blank podcast, Like I don't know
Speaker 3: who to bring up. Who is like no, you know, no,
Speaker 3: it would not work justin Bieber wouldn't work.
Speaker 5: Bieber wouldn't even And I can't even think of the
Speaker 5: one that would work.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it doesn't. No, we don't
Speaker 4: generate literally don't.
Speaker 3: Know, don't know whatever there is out there, there's a
Speaker 3: reference that someone would be like you, guys, why didn't
Speaker 3: you say Blank? I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's a it's a band called Blank, yeah, and we've
Speaker 6: never heard of it.
Speaker 3: I really really don't know. You can't say zach Efron,
Speaker 3: can't you can't.
Speaker 4: I think he's like gonna win an oscar soon.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 1: You know who would know?
Speaker 6: Is like my niece, my sister, my niece for Halloween
Speaker 6: last year was one of the girls in a show
Speaker 6: on I think the Disney channel called Descendants or something.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 6: But I know that as a band, and I know
Speaker 6: that as like a couple other things.
Speaker 1: So I was like, sorry, what did she dress up?
Speaker 1: It's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 3: I've heard this before. I think I've heard this as
Speaker 3: a reference before, and you're right. I was like, this
Speaker 3: is the.
Speaker 5: Joke I'm doing these days.
Speaker 3: No, it's something else. Yeah, and it's also not the movie,
Speaker 3: not the new the movie from four years ago or whatever.
Speaker 6: It's little girls with kind of Madonna's style, lace in
Speaker 6: their hair and blacknail polish of doing stuff I'm not even.
Speaker 1: Sure what they do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's something specifically you would not mention on the
Speaker 5: Drumming podcast.
Speaker 6: No, never, but I mean to have it be so popular.
Speaker 6: She dressed up as it for Halloween and I.
Speaker 1: Did not know.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have a weird feeling. You're like, I officially
Speaker 3: don't know what this is.
Speaker 6: Because when we were growing up, the stuff that you
Speaker 6: liked was adult because there weren't things specifically for kids
Speaker 6: really except for like the game Operation.
Speaker 1: And a couple other things. Right, it was like five things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all shared that.
Speaker 1: We were forced to share things we didn't even like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Fred, you ever go to the ninety nine cent
Speaker 6: store when you lived in La.
Speaker 3: I think I went in there once thinking I could
Speaker 3: maybe something for like pots and pans kind of thing,
Speaker 3: and I did not like it. I was very It
Speaker 3: was a fine place. I don't mean to say anything
Speaker 3: bad about it, but there's nothing that I wanted.
Speaker 5: I made the mistake of getting a bag of limes there.
Speaker 4: Do not buy produce at if you looking for cann.
Speaker 5: Goods and and some new type of for alays I
Speaker 5: took Spanish in college. Nice and then then but don't
Speaker 5: get any don't get any produce.
Speaker 4: Yeah that would make sense. Yah, Yeah it was bad lines.
Speaker 3: But while we were on this, let's talk about college.
Speaker 3: Guys out there, go to college to get out there.
Speaker 1: Apply, Tell you never know about college.
Speaker 3: Tell your friends you never know all over the country,
Speaker 3: and get it. It is the best.
Speaker 6: Graduate school, junior, whatever kind of college you can find.

Speaker 1: You don't know students. They need students, just like you
Speaker 1: need to learn.

Speaker 5: College, I would call it prep for Prep for College
Speaker 5: the podcast.
Speaker 4: That'd be a good title, Cold, Cold, and spelled out.
Speaker 3: That's a long podcast. That that'd be a very It's
Speaker 3: a lot of talking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for some people would take like seven years.
Speaker 4: So much to cover.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you took wayter off to go skiing, especially,
Speaker 5: did you ever.
Speaker 4: Fred live in for reels in Portland? Is that a
Speaker 4: dumb question?
Speaker 3: No, it's not a dumb question. I do live there.
Speaker 4: I haven't I asked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't ask me that. No, I I I'm there
Speaker 3: every summer and I've been there every summer for the
Speaker 3: last you know, whatever six years or something, so so
Speaker 3: in a way, yeah, I mean there for quite a
Speaker 3: few months.
Speaker 4: So the shows, it's the show hasn't been on quite
Speaker 4: six years. Yeah, oh yes, oh.
Speaker 3: Cats, which is the sixth seasons? Just I know it
Speaker 3: feels like yesterday for me. For me, it does. It
Speaker 3: feels very new, went very quickly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's uh so you would if they're already for
Speaker 5: a little while before.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, i'd been there a lot. Yeah, when
Speaker 3: we started doing the show, then I started staying there.
Speaker 6: It would be so fun to have an excuse, like
Speaker 6: anytime a job comes up, you get to move to
Speaker 6: a place that is in la or New York. It's
Speaker 6: so fascinating to me, right, I love that idea where
Speaker 6: it's almost like you get to go and just live.
Speaker 1: In a normal town with normal people. They'll see that.
Speaker 3: That's like for a while, I agree. And then you also,
Speaker 3: if it's enough time, you kind of get to know
Speaker 3: it a little bit, so that if anyone ever says
Speaker 3: to you, hey, I'm from this place, you can actually
Speaker 3: say with some confidence, oh yeah, I know what that's like.

Speaker 3: here's some drums.
Speaker 5: People have called me the jazz drummer of comedy because
Speaker 5: I'm like that with my jokes, never tell them the same,
Speaker 5: and they don't always quite hit.
Speaker 3: How do you guys know each other.
Speaker 6: I was the one who made up Chris's title the
Speaker 6: Jazz Drummer of Comedy, and he confronted me on it
Speaker 6: one night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just brought it up just now.
Speaker 1: I think we made friends to Greg Barren. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5: And I very first came here and just visited and
Speaker 5: stayed with Howard Gramer because I started in Austin, so
Speaker 5: I'm kind of an Austin comedian. And I met you
Speaker 5: at a laundry at Lucy's Launderman, but we weren't friends
Speaker 5: till a handful of years later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Do you remember those shows that Lucy's Those were good.
Speaker 4: They were I remembered having visited.
Speaker 5: I was visiting and went to one, and it did
Speaker 5: scare me about the future of me doing comedy in
Speaker 5: LA because I thought that all I was going.
Speaker 4: To be doing is.
Speaker 5: Shows where there's people not paying attention while they're folding their.
Speaker 4: Socks in the background. I thought that was going to
Speaker 4: be all comedy. I always thought that surprising people.
Speaker 6: I thought that part was upsetting until I would get
Speaker 6: on stage and then realized that was actually the fun part,
Speaker 6: where you were like watching a young mother just trying
Speaker 6: to shut out of there and take her laundry and go.
Speaker 6: And then you would see them like start to titter,
Speaker 6: and then you're like, oh, I did my job.
Speaker 1: It's a different job than normal, but I did it.
Speaker 4: I guess I would like it now.
Speaker 3: Maybe should we go back and perform?
Speaker 1: Should we do it right now?
Speaker 5: I mean it would be the same as the show
Speaker 5: was back when there was an organized of people were asked.
Speaker 1: To go there exactly right.
Speaker 3: But for some reason, maybe the people were folding laundry.
Speaker 3: That's how they enjoyed comedy shows. So if we went back,
Speaker 3: they'd be like, oh, we know what you're doing it.
Speaker 3: I remember these, thank you for bringing it back.
Speaker 1: We meet you so much.
Speaker 4: Are you still doing the same bits? They said? They
Speaker 4: kind of know some of them.
Speaker 3: Are you looking at your notestaves.
Speaker 1: Shout that anymore?
Speaker 4: It's funny your mom's from Venezuela?
Speaker 3: Is that what you say? Yeah?
Speaker 5: So, I you can do that accent, but I felt
Speaker 5: very uncomfortable doing the that accent.
Speaker 1: I think I'm really good at it.
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm so gluted.
Speaker 3: I think I think we're all welcome to it. Just
Speaker 3: like the same thing with accents from India.
Speaker 1: Everyone doesn't you know, people get very uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Oh they should.
Speaker 5: I'm getting uncomfortable about thinking about someone doing it. Oh,
Speaker 5: don't do Indian accent and kas area looking at you. No,
Speaker 5: come on, that's pretty good at it. I loved him
Speaker 5: since burn on a wire.

Speaker 5: like you don't see mentally ill folks running around like
Speaker 5: in America.
Speaker 4: I'm guessing they take care of their people.
Speaker 3: I imagine that I was probably in the areas where you
Speaker 3: just don't see stuffy. Sure, I mean like I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Sure, you know. I always imagine that.
Speaker 6: I don't know social if they still have social services,

Speaker 3: I sold so I had a house here, sold it,
Speaker 3: moved into a new one, right the deal, the deal,
Speaker 3: The house closed that when I sold on this one day.
Speaker 3: But then the tenants weren't in yet, but I had
Speaker 3: an extra key, so they were like, will you give
Speaker 3: them the extra key? And I was like, how am
Speaker 3: I going to do this? And I really was trespassing.
Speaker 3: I used my own key to get in. I trespassed
Speaker 3: into literally someone else's home. I technically that was not
Speaker 3: my house, nor did I have permission. And I dropped
Speaker 3: off the key and left.
Speaker 4: Did you take anything?
Speaker 3: There was nothing in there, It's an empty house, nothing
Speaker 3: to take.
Speaker 6: But you did trespass around a little bit before you left.
Speaker 4: No, ma'am.
Speaker 3: I was really paranoid about it because I was like,
Speaker 3: this is actually not allowed. But it was the only
Speaker 3: most efficient, It was the most efficient way to do it.
Speaker 3: It was the right thing to do, Like, that's the
Speaker 3: safe way to get a key.
Speaker 1: Sorry, so you opened the door, went in, put the
Speaker 1: key in, and left.
Speaker 5: No one else's belongings were in there.
Speaker 1: Well, what can you put the key like under the door.
Speaker 3: Or there's no there's nothing like that. There's no like
Speaker 3: you know, mail slot or anything like that. It was
Speaker 3: just like a sealed door. Could have been done, could
Speaker 3: have been done. Wow, in the way also in the
Speaker 3: way that I would have wanted it to. I want
Speaker 3: it just up on the counter. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: I recently, No, I had permission. Never mind, I did
Speaker 4: the same thing.
Speaker 5: But I took a Bold washer and dryer that I
Speaker 5: bought five years ago. I even lived in the house
Speaker 5: for that long, and the house was for sale, and
Speaker 5: I saw the washer and dryer in a picture or
Speaker 5: Tid sent it and said, look at this house now, and.

Speaker 4: in there.
Speaker 5: Through the realtor and took my washer and dryer without
Speaker 5: talking to the new owners.
