Speaker 1: Are you leave in I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 1: Either way, we want to be there. Doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 1: terminol and gay a.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off in style. We wanna
Speaker 2: welcome you back home.
Speaker 1: Tell us all about it.
Speaker 2: We scared her? Was it fine? Malborn?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do your need you ride.
Speaker 3: With Karen and Chris? Welcome to Do you need a ride?
Speaker 3: This is Chris Fairbanks.
Speaker 2: And this is Karen Kilgith.
Speaker 3: Oh. I like what you did there.
Speaker 2: That's my in studio serious man voice.
Speaker 3: It's I'm looking at your face. We're looking at each
Speaker 3: other's faces.
Speaker 2: True, true, it's.
Speaker 3: Been And when's the last time we did this?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Years?
Speaker 3: I mean I thought were years. You start. You got
Speaker 3: emotional there, Okay, that.
Speaker 2: Is that is kind of emotional.
Speaker 3: I used to think my family cried a lot, but
Speaker 3: we were all just like the clumps. We're just burping.
Speaker 2: No, it's I was thinking about that when we made
Speaker 2: this plan, where it was like, oh yeah, face to
Speaker 2: face conversation is very different than driving around and doing
Speaker 2: our normal kind of add whatever we see, we talk
Speaker 2: about cars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if we're going to be I can
Speaker 3: already tell we're grounded, our thoughts are going to be finished. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm looking at your body language, which helps me know
Speaker 3: when to finish a sentence.
Speaker 2: It's hard to get those cues when you're looking out
Speaker 2: and scanning for danger in the car. Right.
Speaker 3: I'm a little worried that because a lot of times
Speaker 3: the announcing of danger really bails us out from some
Speaker 3: snooze festival spirals or.
Speaker 2: Just like blah blab. I mean, like, what are you
Speaker 2: even talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest with you audience, if I
Speaker 3: can call you that. A lot of times there's not
Speaker 3: even anything happening. We just say someone's cutting us off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's our out edit point.
Speaker 3: If you want to peak. But I've never felt.
Speaker 2: So safe as you do right now.
Speaker 3: And that's not a slide against your driving. It's just
Speaker 3: driving in general. You know, we all think about and
Speaker 3: terraces and all these things, but driving, we all casually
Speaker 3: just get into these boxes and go hundreds of miles
Speaker 3: an hour. We never think about it. And you and
Speaker 3: I bring strangers with us, nothing's ever gonna happen. I'm
Speaker 3: someone that I feel like if you talk about these things,
Speaker 3: you're taking them out of the universe.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Negative people think you're putting them in the universe.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is the glass half full of bad ideas or
Speaker 2: half empty from bad ideas?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna need to see the glass.
Speaker 2: Yes, and the picture that's pouring into it.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is I believe in your driving. Thank you,
Speaker 3: But we can't control the danger out there.
Speaker 2: Ever.
Speaker 3: We're currently in a safe, air tight, humidified room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with some lovely curtains and just a general velvet vibe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice. And no giant black truck with two
Speaker 3: tires in the back or four total.
Speaker 2: Can I just tell you it's going to be her
Speaker 2: into us. A car speaking of passed me on the
Speaker 2: left the other day where there was no lane for
Speaker 2: him to pass me in because I was in the
Speaker 2: far left lane. He was in the left turn lane,
Speaker 2: and when we both got the green to go, he
Speaker 2: gunned it and gassed it and then basically played chicken
Speaker 2: with the people across from him and then cut in
Speaker 2: to cut me off. So he could basically for the
Speaker 2: convenience of not turning left right there right and doing
Speaker 2: it like a block later, which I watched him do.
Speaker 2: He almost killed it like three different people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of people that think that space
Speaker 3: between those yellow lines is one long turn lane. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it isn't until you're at the intersection. I've seen
Speaker 3: many accidents in that. Everyone just needs to go to
Speaker 3: driver's at again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think everyone, I just think it's hard
Speaker 2: right now. I think everyone's a little ratcheted up. I've
Speaker 2: had like the bad feeling of myself stomach for a
Speaker 2: couple of days where you're just kind of like everybody
Speaker 2: needs a break from just the constant drip of reality.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but have you felt slightly hopeful in the last
Speaker 3: thirty six hours.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's made a huge, incredible difference. I'm
Speaker 2: so hopeful and so kind of watching young people join
Speaker 2: it and do something with it. Understanding like this is
Speaker 2: a moment where you take political power and use it
Speaker 2: as opposed to I'm not getting my pick or I
Speaker 2: am getting my pick. It's like it's not that simple anymore,
Speaker 2: or it is overly simple. It's just like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: it's thrilling.
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I was scared it first, and then
Speaker 3: immediately within thirty six out we're of course talking about
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, and a lot of people say kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: and hopefully no one's saying kamala because that's my neighbor
Speaker 3: who used to drink a lot of vodka and orange uses.
Speaker 2: It's kamala, And I look, yes, is that the first one?
Speaker 3: I said?
Speaker 2: I don't know, you just said a couple different ones.
Speaker 3: I'm just adding umlots and little accents here and there
Speaker 3: because that's what the public does. I know exactly that
Speaker 3: it's kamala ua kamala, but a lot of people say kamala.
Speaker 3: I'm even on the news.
Speaker 2: No, no, I know it's very common.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so that when I say it incorrectly, I'm simple.
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about those people. You know, I never
Speaker 3: miss speak.
Speaker 2: You're kind of mimicking those people like their fools.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and it's really tongue in cheek. But
Speaker 3: within thirty six hours to raise one hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars, one million dollars, one hundred million, actually million dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred thousand is nothing that sneeze at though,
Speaker 3: so I thought i'd start there.
Speaker 2: It'd be great to get one hundred thousand dollars just randomly.
Speaker 3: Well, it is great, it's not exciting. Wait, it's one
Speaker 3: hundred million. That's why I did that. See that's again
Speaker 3: a lot of people think it was one hundred thousand.
Speaker 3: I'm here to remind you it was one hundred million,
Speaker 3: and sixty two percent of those people have never donated
Speaker 3: on record, according to Ruders, Am I saying that right? Routers?
Speaker 2: You know, I always read it, and I think it's
Speaker 2: like in my mind, I read it like Reuters, like
Speaker 2: I mispronounced it in my mind as I read it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard not to. You know. The other day,
Speaker 3: by the way, I saw a lot of modern art
Speaker 3: at the broad Oh yeah, that's how it's spelled b
Speaker 3: r Oad.
Speaker 2: But it's broad. Yeah, come on, that's just a personal
Speaker 2: preference thing. Then you know what I mean. Then you
Speaker 2: have to get the word out yourself. If you're going
Speaker 2: to spell it the way we all say that word,
Speaker 2: but you're going to pronounce it the way your family
Speaker 2: has just chosen to pronounce it.
Speaker 3: I just wonder if more people would be there appreciating
Speaker 3: the pop art and and the Warhols. If it was
Speaker 3: br Od theod way, it sounds bread. Let's go to
Speaker 3: the bread. Anyway. I'm very excited and I almost I
Speaker 3: think I always thought it was strange over the last
Speaker 3: several years, we don't see much of Kamala Harris, and.
Speaker 2: Now Kamala Kamala and.
Speaker 3: It's Kamala is I'm never going to do it wrong
Speaker 3: again again. There's people on the new professional broadcast journalists.
Speaker 2: That let's focus on their mistakes.
Speaker 3: And the way they're seeping into my brain clearly, yes, truly, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I said it perfectly yesterday and the day before, and
Speaker 3: now that it's in the news, all these highlights of
Speaker 3: uh are being such a badass, and I've gotten very
Speaker 3: excited and I feel hopeful.
Speaker 2: Is my thing same. It's very exciting, and it also
Speaker 2: feels like it's a plan that makes a ton of sense.
Speaker 2: And the idea that it was a little bit of
Speaker 2: a reveal that it was they were playing cards. They
Speaker 2: did it on purpose when they announced it is very strategic.
Speaker 2: How they did it, all that they let all the
Speaker 2: doubt kind of seep in, they let I mean, it's masterful.
Speaker 2: I think it's like, so that part of it is
Speaker 2: so exciting, where just she's the story.
Speaker 3: Now, so almost on a conspiracy level, You think this
Speaker 3: was all planned?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean all positive way, in a positive way,
Speaker 2: and like all planned is like who knows? Was it
Speaker 2: a plan to have him do that debate and then
Speaker 2: actually like not, you know, not do well. I doubt
Speaker 2: it because I think that would be a hard thing
Speaker 2: for a lifelong politician to be like, oh, I couldn't
Speaker 2: do that. Like, but then what they were gonna do
Speaker 2: after that? I think it's really hard for most people
Speaker 2: to like take corrective action decisively. And it feels to
Speaker 2: me like they got all got together and were like, Okay,
Speaker 2: what are we going to do now? And then it's like,
Speaker 2: because we have to do something, and we have to
Speaker 2: do something good, we have to do it in a
Speaker 2: way that doesn't create more goddamn division in this country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was kind of an unprecedented I don't
Speaker 3: think there's been maybe one other Lyndon Johnson I think
Speaker 3: is who they said was the only president that didn't
Speaker 3: try for a second term.
Speaker 2: I loved Lyndon Johnson. He's just so chill.
Speaker 3: Tell me about the man, I've seem to have forgotten.
Speaker 3: I know it is headshot looks like because it was
Speaker 3: on the wall at school.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to start with. Slickback here yea.
Speaker 2: Because other than that, I think I know that he
Speaker 2: picked up his basset hounds by the ears, which I
Speaker 2: didn't like.
Speaker 3: No, was that some Maybe he's just got bad training tips.
Speaker 2: Or it's like something of like those are my hunting
Speaker 2: dogs and they like things this way or that I
Speaker 2: who knows, I truly know nothing about the man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I buy the ears and let them dangle. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think that's why I didn't get a second term.
Speaker 3: That's horrifying.
Speaker 2: I think that picture went out in Life magazine and
Speaker 2: that was it.
Speaker 3: Well, if there was photo montage of how many times
Speaker 3: I've taken of dog's thin, cold ear and pressed it
Speaker 3: between my lips, people would think I was AWAREO.
Speaker 2: But that's why you can't ever run.
Speaker 3: I don't bite. I press. My teeth are under my
Speaker 3: lips tight like a anti wrinkle face that you make,
Speaker 3: and I bite. It's a dick of cats. I'll do
Speaker 3: it with cats too.
Speaker 2: I actually do that with blossoms Ear's lot because her
Speaker 2: ears are very soft, and she hasn't shown me that
Speaker 2: she particularly loves it. I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it makes them uncomfortable because your face
Speaker 3: is there. But I don't think any pain has happened anything.
Speaker 3: It's like pinching someone's weness.
Speaker 2: Is there no pain in that?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. The weeness? Have you the skin
Speaker 3: on your elbow? Cris, you can.
Speaker 2: Bite your tricky words?
Speaker 3: It's the weeness.
Speaker 2: I thought you meant penis.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of kids would think that too,
Speaker 3: but I'm very childlike. Yeah, it the weeness is that
Speaker 3: flappy elbow skin. You can bite into it and until
Speaker 3: it bleeds. Yeah, and I've done that, of course, not
Speaker 3: with myself. We all know that it's impossible. Or maybe
Speaker 3: it's putting your elbow in your ear.
Speaker 2: What other words do you know that sound like other
Speaker 2: anatomical words. There's the one that you always say for
Speaker 2: your fingers, uh, philangy flanges seems like it might be
Speaker 2: dirty and isn't right?
Speaker 3: And I really overused the word flanges in my early
Speaker 3: comedy of Just and Less Mindless riffing.
Speaker 2: And did you do that because you read that in
Speaker 2: a medical textbook somewhere and you were like I want
Speaker 2: to share this information.
Speaker 3: I think my early stand up was sweaty. I had
Speaker 3: no memory after my first several sets, and it wasn't
Speaker 3: just the drinking. I would just talk about things, yeah,
Speaker 3: and got rewarded for it. But then I quickly realized
Speaker 3: I needed to start writing things down because people would
Speaker 3: always say, oh, you have the speaking cadence of Bob
Speaker 3: Newhart who just passed. And so I've been rewatching his
Speaker 3: stand up, very scripted, one sided conversations. If you guys
Speaker 3: haven't ever, because I knew him from that sitcom where
Speaker 3: he owns an inn in Vermont Larry Darryl, Darryl and Darryl,
Speaker 3: and that was kind of a boring show. It had
Speaker 3: its moment.
Speaker 2: It was very CBS in the eighties. Yeah, swetters, Yeah,
Speaker 2: kind of like a nice hard joke after three minutes.
Speaker 3: Yes, every three minutes, there's a there's a laugh on
Speaker 3: that banister, there's a kitchen, there's the main lobby, and
Speaker 3: very sad string music at the beginning. It's something akin
Speaker 3: to the mash theme, so you really know you're in
Speaker 3: for a night with older folks. They and but then
Speaker 3: to watch his stand up and and how perfectly timed
Speaker 3: one sided conversations where everything he said you then would
Speaker 3: have to assume what was on the other end of
Speaker 3: this phone call. Entire albums of one sided two person conversations. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. Yeah, that's who thought to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was act guys.
Speaker 3: It's the best.
Speaker 2: There's also just if anybody is looking into Bob Newhart material,
Speaker 2: just to get the sense of this comic genius. He
Speaker 2: also had a TV show called The Bob Newhart Show
Speaker 2: in the seventies that was like what nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four, I think, And it was like Minnesota
Speaker 2: in the seventies, and he was a psychiatrist, and so
Speaker 2: it was him and Marshall Wallace I believe, who later
Speaker 2: would play the voice of Missus Kraboppol on The Simpsons,
Speaker 2: and she was the receptionist. And then it was all
Speaker 2: of his different patients that would come in, like they
Speaker 2: provided the B plot or the C plot of like
Speaker 2: always that funny guy that has a lot of anxiety
Speaker 2: or whatever. Yeah, and then he had this amazing apartment
Speaker 2: with his wife, who was Suzanne Puschett.
Speaker 1: That actors with the kind of scratchy voices Bob like, yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was the best show. It was super real, really funny
Speaker 2: that I think that one holds up.
Speaker 3: I got to revisit it. I always assumed that he
Speaker 3: retired from whatever job and that sitcom and then bought
Speaker 3: in in Vermont.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but did they suggest it was the same guy
Speaker 4: they basically in the last episode spoiler alert if you
Speaker 4: want to go watch New Heart, the series where they're
Speaker 4: in an inn, then don't listen to this end part
Speaker 4: that I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 2: God, but what they did, and it was really epic
Speaker 2: at the time, back in the monoculture when literally we
Speaker 2: all watched the same show together. Was on the last
Speaker 2: episode of the most recent show, New Heart, where his
Speaker 2: wife was played by I can't remember somebody else, a
Speaker 2: blonde lady. Yeah, we all know what's the last episode
Speaker 2: as we're watching it, So the whole thing happens and
Speaker 2: it's like whatever, goodbye. I don't know what the actual
Speaker 2: plot was. But then the very last thing is he
Speaker 2: wakes up in bed and then Susan push that turns
Speaker 2: over and goes bomb go back to sat and the
Speaker 2: whole thing was a dream.
Speaker 3: I forgot that that was the end. I remember that
Speaker 3: being an epic ending, and I knew what they were
Speaker 3: referring to, but I'd never seen the because every episode
Speaker 3: of The Psychiatrist one was about whoever he was, who
Speaker 3: was seeing him.
Speaker 2: Uh No, it was almost like he's six.
Speaker 3: Feet under when it opens with a death, and then
Speaker 3: it's about that.
Speaker 2: There was much more about like him and his wife
Speaker 2: doing stuff at home and they didn't have kids, which
Speaker 2: was very like advanced for the time.
Speaker 3: They slept in the same bed.
Speaker 2: Same bed on TV. They really could cool high.
Speaker 3: Rise show them the end of during the credits having sex.
Speaker 3: I always thought that I was really pushed Chris cutting
Speaker 3: Edge thinking, I know, I'm thinking of early stag films
Speaker 3: that I found in an attic.
Speaker 2: I told you not to touch your linus.
Speaker 3: This whole time, I've been pretending I didn't spill quite
Speaker 3: a large amount of coke on my crouch. Thank you.
Speaker 2: There's like a lap has a cult.
Speaker 3: She handed me a Klean egg. Oh, anyway, I felt
Speaker 3: I feel good the last few days.
Speaker 2: Great. Yeah, there's a lot to feel good about. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's just kind of like there's any kind of plan.
Speaker 2: It's almost like the idea that they did this reveal
Speaker 2: makes me go oh oh, there's all kinds of plans.
Speaker 2: Yeah and there. They didn't do them earlier because they
Speaker 2: have to wait until we get closed to November.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's going to be speaking with hope and
Speaker 3: positivity and people are going to snap out of it.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, I think so it's going to
Speaker 2: be great.
Speaker 3: So that's our hopeful. If you came to hear hope,
Speaker 3: you're going to get it in the ear right out
Speaker 3: of our mouths oh oh, we almost got cut off
Speaker 3: by another car. I know. I tend to do that.
Speaker 2: It was just acting. I was making a joke about
Speaker 2: your acting.
Speaker 3: Oh right, right, yeah. I went to a drive in
Speaker 3: movie theater with my family. My nieces and sister and
Speaker 3: brother in law came to visit and we all went
Speaker 3: to see Twisters at drive in.
Speaker 2: Nice movie theater, the one down in like Torrance.
Speaker 3: It was in Paramount, a town i've never heard of,
Speaker 3: no relation to the studio or camera manufacturer.
Speaker 2: It's like south of the City of Industry.
Speaker 3: It is near the city of City of Industry.
Speaker 2: I've been of Commerce.
Speaker 3: It was City of Commerce.
Speaker 2: City of that. We're sang that yeah, okay, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 3: I say in the song. Yes, in the.
Speaker 2: Song oh but you all sang city of Commerce, I.
Speaker 3: Do know the city of Compton in the song.
Speaker 2: I thought when you said we all sang that that
Speaker 2: and I think Annalise agrees with me. We thought you
Speaker 2: meant we all sang that like that was the song.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no you.
Speaker 2: Met the family, Yeah past the sign and sang as
Speaker 2: a family.
Speaker 3: I grew up listening to n WA and Easy So
Speaker 3: Easy does it okay the name of his album Get
Speaker 3: Out of My But it was very fun. But one
Speaker 3: thing I forgot, and technology hasn't caught up to it.
Speaker 3: You do have to periodically start your car otherwise the
Speaker 3: battery will get drained by running the radio. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: still because they just have you tune into a radio station.
Speaker 3: And several people were starting their cars up and of
Speaker 3: course had their headlights on. It was disruptive, but a
Speaker 3: lot of cars couldn't start, and that's something people don't remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's we're not ready for driving movie theaters because
Speaker 2: it's out of our wheelhouse of knowledge.
Speaker 3: The feverishly was searching for a radio on my phone
Speaker 3: to listen on my phone, we ended up listening to
Speaker 3: the neighbors. There's people that go there. It's a whole scene. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And they had speakers and they had tents. It was
Speaker 3: like tailgate party time. Yeah, and it was so fun
Speaker 3: and I think that won that location, which I don't
Speaker 3: know if it closed and reopened, but it's famous, like
Speaker 3: the let's go down to the lobby, yes song, and
Speaker 3: I think it's been in movies like Diner and things
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: It was in Greece.
Speaker 3: It was in Greece. That's the one in Greece.
Speaker 2: It's the one where, yeah, they're all at the drive
Speaker 2: ins and I mean they're watching a movie, but then
Speaker 2: that plays in the background while I believe while she's singing.
Speaker 2: Is it hopelessly devoted to you that she sings when
Speaker 2: she's swinging on the swings or is at him?
Speaker 3: Oh? I wish I had known that, my sister, But
Speaker 3: then the songs would have ensued. My sister was saying
Speaker 3: the songs, So how do you do not? I can't not.
Speaker 3: I would have joined her duet style. Yeah, some of
Speaker 3: the lyrics are a little risk. Gue I do leave
Speaker 3: out some of these sexual innuendo.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thought they could get away with some stuff.
Speaker 2: But now are you thinking of grease?
Speaker 3: Too electric boogloo. No, I'm thinking of the original Grease.
Speaker 3: It's a great movie if you haven't seen. It's the
Speaker 3: only musical that I just can watch. And I'm admitting that.
Speaker 3: And Cats, of course.
Speaker 2: What about Team America World Police.
Speaker 3: It's been a while, it's been a while. That seems
Speaker 3: more like a parody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it does have good songs.
Speaker 3: It does, and everything I knew about Hamilton, I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna like that. Guess who liked it? Within
Speaker 3: five minutes. You me, the person who's talking about the
Speaker 3: thing they like.
Speaker 2: It was easy to guess because you were the one talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 2: I went and saw Hamilton, and when the part happened
Speaker 2: where the lyrics of the song are immigrants, we get
Speaker 2: the job done, and the entire audience yelled we get
Speaker 2: the job done along with the guy, I started crying
Speaker 2: and I couldn't stop crying.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was just like, Yeah, what are we fucking doing?
Speaker 2: Why are we pretending immigrants are what we should be
Speaker 2: battling at the borders. When they built this fucking country,
Speaker 2: they are still maintaining order in this country. Like by that,
Speaker 2: I mean working in the restaurants as my old friend
Speaker 2: Danny Sebias used to say, every restaurant in la is
Speaker 2: a Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like this idea that we need to get rid of
Speaker 2: people who are trying to come here is psychotic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone needs to watch a documentary yeah about it
Speaker 3: and then realize because people just don't know, I think,
Speaker 3: or they're pretending they don't know. But a lot of
Speaker 3: people that think that way aren't in cities. They're in
Speaker 3: these tiny towns wherever the diner still is their grandma.
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes and then sometimes you grow up in
Speaker 2: those cities and you're the you and your family, or
Speaker 2: you have a little pot of people that are the
Speaker 2: you're staying blue amid a red surrounding. You know, it's
Speaker 2: not always the location. But it's interesting because more on
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, they're saying that the percentages that they're seeing
Speaker 2: are reflecting all of the people. There are Republicans showing up,
Speaker 2: especially women that are like, yeah, this is what I want.
Speaker 2: It's no longer about I'm in this party or that party,
Speaker 2: I'm standing on this side or that side. It's like,
Speaker 2: oh no, no, no, we're not going to not have
Speaker 2: medical rights. The way men do. That just isn't going
Speaker 2: to be something we're going to allow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like to think about all the all the
Speaker 3: women that are just letting their husbands think, oh yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I'll vote for them again, and then they go off
Speaker 3: and vote yes. Yeah. It's I love that.
Speaker 2: Some trickeries, yeah, or some blatant like I'm done with this,
Speaker 2: I'm done with it.
Speaker 3: I hope there's a bunch of divorces because of it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Now try and live your life, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you were.
Speaker 3: I had a great day the other day where everything
Speaker 3: went my way.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I skateboarded well, I golfed well. Then I had two shows.
Speaker 3: It was a full day and everything went well. And
Speaker 3: then I thought, Okay, how do I make every day
Speaker 3: like this day? But that would it'd be like a
Speaker 3: groundhog day situation and it would be less special every day.
Speaker 3: But do you have a day that you would live over,
Speaker 3: like a day that you is in your memory. I
Speaker 3: was thinking about that on the way over here.
Speaker 2: That was your best day, the best day ever?
Speaker 3: Because the last one I had I was like twenty one.
Speaker 3: So they stick out to me.
Speaker 2: They really well, and especially like kind of a series
Speaker 2: of winning, like you just won all day long. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's left well, yeah, that's the and the last victory.
Speaker 2: Yeah is that you slept well. I mean that's great,
Speaker 2: and yeah, it doesn't just buy its own nature. It
Speaker 2: doesn't happen, and it's not even something to aim for
Speaker 2: because then you're just going to always be disappointed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just got to wait and be surprised
Speaker 3: by them.
Speaker 2: I feel like I had a lot of those days
Speaker 2: when I was like younger than twelve, like things were
Speaker 2: just like that was fun. Cool, Now I get to
Speaker 2: do this, I get a sandwich, Like everything had that
Speaker 2: vibe to it. Yeah, and then like junior high, it
Speaker 2: was all everything turned yeah, and then it was there
Speaker 2: were few and far between.
Speaker 3: I just did think I remembered every day back then
Speaker 3: because I was experiencing seasons, and then every day here
Speaker 3: is seventy five, and so I thought it's flown by
Speaker 3: the last twenty years because of that. But I think
Speaker 3: just in general, when you're young, you remember all the things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have been on the planet less time, so
Speaker 2: it's all shock. Every experience is new and shocking or
Speaker 2: new and like what is going on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, nothing makes an impact. That's why I was
Speaker 3: glad to have that day the other day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3: I felt like it again, what a fresh new day
Speaker 3: of human experiences.
Speaker 2: I have to say I had a lot of those days.
Speaker 2: This is going to sound super weird, but I had
Speaker 2: a lot of days that felt like that in COVID,
Speaker 2: because I know COVID was so scary and weird and
Speaker 2: unprecedented that I was like, I guess I could snap
Speaker 2: at any time. I guess I could lose it or
Speaker 2: like whatever. So then I would just kind of go
Speaker 2: through the day and like eat what I wanted and
Speaker 2: watch whatever I wanted on TV, and go swimming and
Speaker 2: do a bunch of shit where I was just like, well,
Speaker 2: if this is this, then I've got then I'm the
Speaker 2: luckiest person in the world. And so I guess that
Speaker 2: was like I was just trying to do it that way,
Speaker 2: almost like not in a fake way, but like in
Speaker 2: a what really matters because everything got so dire and
Speaker 2: it's like I have a roof over my head, I
Speaker 2: get to get in water and move around without having
Speaker 2: to leave. That to me the luckiest thing in the world.
Speaker 3: And I thought I would be bummed out. That was
Speaker 3: my I'm like, uh oh, what if I go into
Speaker 3: this weird depression? And then I felt guilty because I
Speaker 3: was like, uh oh, I'm totally thriving emotionally. I knew
Speaker 3: bad things were happening, but I was like, oh, I
Speaker 3: enjoy my own company. That's a surprise.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, that was a real discovery.
Speaker 3: Good, And I'm trying to carry it over and not
Speaker 3: forget that.
Speaker 2: It's important to know it, but it's good to not
Speaker 2: test it all the time the way we were forced
Speaker 2: to test it all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the moment while it was happening, I kept
Speaker 3: telling people I was having a great time, and then
Speaker 3: I realized they probably had just lost a loved one
Speaker 3: or something. So I had to keep it to myself. Yeah,
Speaker 3: my secret little happiness. But enough time has passed that
Speaker 3: I could start bragging about it. Well.
Speaker 2: And also when it's a secret happiness, isn't it even
Speaker 2: more fun because then you're just kind of like, well,
Speaker 2: I guess this is just then I just have to
Speaker 2: keep this to myself. Yeah, that's fun too. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember a day where it was
Speaker 2: like I mean, there was a day when I was
Speaker 2: like five and I went to the four each Halloween
Speaker 2: party and there's a big jar of candy. And I
Speaker 2: was definitely the youngest person at this party. It was
Speaker 2: all my cousins and stuff. I walked up to the
Speaker 2: table where you guessed how many pieces of candy were
Speaker 2: in the big jar and then you could win the
Speaker 2: jar of candy. Yeah and so, and I was just
Speaker 2: like a little mouse. And I walked up and I go.
Speaker 2: She goes, do you want to get how many pieces
Speaker 2: of candy are in this jar? And I go fifty
Speaker 2: and she goes five hundred okay, and then I won.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so she they basically rigged it for me.
Speaker 2: But I didn't get that because I was only five,
Speaker 2: And like that alone was the greatest day because I
Speaker 2: walked out of there with like truly a jar of
Speaker 2: candy that was half my body size.
Speaker 3: Wow, you won.
Speaker 2: I did win.
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever won.
Speaker 2: But I didn't technically win. Yeah, it was not like
Speaker 2: I assessed that thing and I'm like, well, if they're
Speaker 2: if there are fifty on one level anything like that.
Speaker 2: I was like I didn't even know what numbers meant.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always thought I could rain man it and
Speaker 3: look at a section of it and multiply it by
Speaker 3: the girth of the jar. And then I realized I
Speaker 3: didn't know any of that math, but I you just
Speaker 3: simply left out zero. So I appreciate that you had
Speaker 3: my back when I said one hundred thousand and I'm
Speaker 3: a hundred million, but that was three zeros.
Speaker 2: The point is, please stop doing that voice.
Speaker 3: It's terrible. It's I don't think I think it's like
Speaker 3: a bubble in my throat. It's certainly not an affect
Speaker 3: that I'm trying.
Speaker 2: It sounds exactly like it aspen.
Speaker 3: Like Madonna after being in in England for a few weeks.
Speaker 2: You know, and she's like, we better get in the lift. Yeah,
Speaker 2: down and load up the boot. You know that Madonna
Speaker 2: monologue and on it she's so famous for talking about
Speaker 2: the lories.
Speaker 3: The Madonna monologues were such a.
Speaker 2: Popular show, oh the nineties.
Speaker 3: I think people are mean to Madonna, and I I
Speaker 3: like her.
Speaker 2: I was mean to Madonna once on the Internet, just
Speaker 2: purely on the in those days of toxic Twitter posting,
Speaker 2: because she performed at one of the Award Show and
Speaker 2: she just didn't wasn't dancing the way she used to dance,
Speaker 2: and so I made a joke of like Madonna is
Speaker 2: the new representative of Boniva, and I got piled on.
Speaker 2: They came for me hard on Twitter, where it was.
Speaker 1: Like fuck you bitch, and I was like, yeah, whoops,
Speaker 1: you're right where it's like you're right, Like I was
Speaker 1: just trying to put up a joke, get a little
Speaker 1: be a comedian, get a little clout, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: on her on her dime.
Speaker 2: But actually I liked Madonna first. I was twelve years
Speaker 2: old when Fucking Lucky Star came out. It was a
Speaker 2: life changer.
Speaker 3: And this is gonna sound like it was for masturbatory reasons,
Speaker 3: but my friend Andy loved Madonna so much that he
Speaker 3: had a closet, a walk in closet, and it was
Speaker 3: wallpapered with Madonna pictures. Now walk into his closet.
Speaker 2: Sorry, he told you that was not for masturbatory reasons.
Speaker 3: No, he. I don't think he would have been that
Speaker 3: open about showing it off. If he was like, hey,
Speaker 3: check this out, guess what I do in here? That
Speaker 3: was the last thing on his mind. Think that a
Speaker 3: lot of kids in my neighborhood didn't discover what was
Speaker 3: going on in their pants till our twenties.
Speaker 2: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: I really do, I really do. It was something about
Speaker 3: there was a lot to do outside. We had a
Speaker 3: lot of distractions. We were riding bikes. We didn't maybe
Speaker 3: it was now I'm.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just private, and you guys didn't discuss it.
Speaker 3: Right, But if I had, like the Spiegel catalog that
Speaker 3: I had in my closet, when he came over, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: check this out. This is something I like. That was
Speaker 3: a secret, so everyone kept those things a secret, So.
Speaker 2: He would have just kept those closet doors closed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're off, you know, in the woods somewhere buried, right.
Speaker 3: He showed it to us. He really liked Madonna.
Speaker 2: You were sexually attracted to camel colored Kashmir. Is that
Speaker 2: what you're telling me about the Spiegel catalog?
Speaker 3: There is it If you don't remember this Spiegel catalog,
Speaker 3: A lot of it was far from real. And then
Speaker 3: halfway through the catalog you had to flip it over
Speaker 3: it so it was upside down. Yeah, and then the underpants, underpants,
Speaker 3: garments and anglas, oh, were the in the upside down part.
Speaker 3: They thought a child didn't know how to rotate something.
Speaker 3: One and that was safe enough. And it was not
Speaker 3: in my closet. It was in the living room closet
Speaker 3: like there was a I know that sounds strange. There
Speaker 3: was a hallway. It was a small house. There was
Speaker 3: closets everywhere. But I would middle of the day be
Speaker 3: in there and my mom had open it up and
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at it. She's like, should I have
Speaker 3: some sort of birds and bees? Talk with him? Because
Speaker 3: I just thought it was okay to look. I'm just
Speaker 3: looking at these these boobs. Is that okay? I didn't know.
Speaker 3: It wasn't shameful.
Speaker 2: And how old were you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Very young?
Speaker 2: Yeah, twelve, little kid eleven? Uh. But back to Andy's Madonna.
Speaker 2: It was a shrine and it was essentially just all
Speaker 2: those famous pictures. I mean she was everywhere.
Speaker 3: Even when you moved his clothes, the wall was covered.
Speaker 3: It was an entire room. I'm just now remembering how
Speaker 3: meticulously he cut out and made wallpaper yectually it looked
Speaker 3: like I'm realizing now I'm describing something from a serial
Speaker 3: killer movie. Yeah he was, but he thought it was funny, Like,
Speaker 3: what have I had a Madonna obsession in my closet.
Speaker 3: I'm going to do it? Why do some of the wall?
Speaker 3: I got to do all the wall. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: don't know how long he spent, how many libraries were missing?
Speaker 2: Do you still talk to this person?
Speaker 3: Yes, he's one of my best pals.
Speaker 2: If you wouldn't mind, Colleena, just circle back. Well, it
Speaker 2: does have to be you know, that's we don't want
Speaker 2: to put him in the hot seat. If you could
Speaker 2: just get some details from him, you know, here's how
Speaker 2: I remember it. Could you tell me what your motivations were, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd be interested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it is time for us
Speaker 3: to confront our childhood friends about what they had on
Speaker 3: the wall. And you can start with my Kathy Ireland
Speaker 3: sitting near a Ferrari poster. What was I thinking?
Speaker 2: Well that you were just thinking what you're being told
Speaker 2: to think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even notice it. I just like, this
Speaker 3: is what boys are supposed to like.
Speaker 2: But really, you know, I was you were more into
Speaker 2: the Speakhel catalog. Yeah, a nice gift, a box that's
Speaker 2: shaped like a pair with a lock on it.
Speaker 3: I don't remember the hard goods.
Speaker 2: Ironic, Yeah it is iron.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot that they even had furniture and stuff.
Speaker 3: But those were the days, such a simple time. Now
Speaker 3: children have a computer in their pants and they can
Speaker 3: watch whatever they want.
Speaker 2: Horrifying.
Speaker 3: Isn't that horrifying?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's ideal.
Speaker 3: That's for sure. Yes, I'm not someone that says thing
Speaker 3: used to be better. I don't think that is the
Speaker 3: case in a lot of ways. The innocence though, because
Speaker 3: we didn't have access to all those things, and I
Speaker 3: sat around and drew pictures if I wanted to think
Speaker 3: up something, Yeah, because the VCR for it to work,
Speaker 3: we had just stuff of packing peanut in it. Like,
Speaker 3: there was so many things that didn't bring me entertainment
Speaker 3: that I had to create it. I wonder if kids
Speaker 3: these days even have invisible imaginary friends anymore.
Speaker 2: I'd be interesting to know. But I bet I wonder,
Speaker 2: like you're saying, the screens have replaced that imagination piece.
Speaker 3: I think so, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, because I think I think like Sesame Street
Speaker 2: and those kinds of the children's programming are trying to
Speaker 2: fight the good fight in that way of at least
Speaker 2: using that screen time to be like your imagination.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, I'm wrong, because little kids now
Speaker 3: are super good.
Speaker 2: At acting and they're super good at life, and they
Speaker 2: were DJs and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good at everything.
Speaker 2: They really get out of the way.
Speaker 3: Old people. Just me talking right now? A child should
Speaker 3: replace me? Am, I actually think, what's this eighteen and
Speaker 3: up voting thing? Children? What have children voted?
Speaker 2: What a really?
Speaker 3: What a relief?
Speaker 2: A child takeover of this country would be fucking amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's that Lord of the Rings thing. They're sure
Speaker 3: a couple of them might kill each other because they
Speaker 3: don't develop, you know, certain things.
Speaker 2: But the children.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that what Lord of the Rings is about?
Speaker 3: If you let the kids team up?
Speaker 2: Do you mean the hobbits? They're just nerves?
Speaker 3: Am I confusing Lord of the Rings with Lord of
Speaker 3: the Flies?
Speaker 2: Yes you are? Oh wow?
Speaker 3: Did I say Lord of the Rings?
Speaker 2: Yes you did.
Speaker 3: Have I been this whole recording having a stroke A
Speaker 3: little bit explains the voice thing. Oh yeah, excuse me,
Speaker 3: I just swallowed a mattress spring. Even things like that,
Speaker 3: Half the listeners will be like mattresses used to have springs.
Speaker 3: How old? A lot of people when I meet them
Speaker 3: at after comedy shows, they are shocked to find them
Speaker 3: not seventy.
Speaker 2: Because of the way you talk.
Speaker 3: Because of my voice and the things I say. I
Speaker 3: guess I always thought I was young and cool.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why you skateboard, is because you're trying
Speaker 2: to get that kind of brand out there.
Speaker 3: F I know, I'm trying to skate the grandpa out
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's here to stay.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, there's more shout of stains on my trousers.
Speaker 2: Crimpa polease don't okay, we could put that in a glass,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Oh you know how I enjoy the slight taste of
Speaker 3: aluminum with all my beverages. It's how we won the war.
Speaker 2: It is weird to not be driving and be having
Speaker 2: this conversation.
Speaker 3: Getting used to it.
Speaker 2: Well, we just don't talk about anything. It makes me
Speaker 2: feel like we should be pulling, like newspaper headlines out
Speaker 2: of a hat or something.
Speaker 3: I was nervous and so I did write down some topics.
Speaker 2: Give them to me. Do you have them on a
Speaker 2: piece of paper? Give them to me.
Speaker 3: They aren't in front of me. I don't know where
Speaker 3: I put them.
Speaker 2: You know that old thing of like exchange set lists.
Speaker 3: It's the funnest theme to a comedy show ever. When
Speaker 3: you are allowed to do in honor of a friend
Speaker 3: where you have seen them so much like the Austin
Speaker 3: scene when I was younger, which I've been thinking about
Speaker 3: because I just opened for this comic Casey Rocket, last
Speaker 3: night and the night before at the Improv, and he's
Speaker 3: from Austin. He's the young new he's part of that
Speaker 3: new scene there, and I've just been thinking about the
Speaker 3: early days and how there was just like forty comics
Speaker 3: in Austin. Yeah, and so I had everyone's jokes memorized,
Speaker 3: and there was constantly shows where we would dress up
Speaker 3: like each other and cause play as other comics. And
Speaker 3: it was never mean spirited really, but it was the
Speaker 3: funnest thing to do. I've done it a few times
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles where you try and remember as many jokes,
Speaker 3: but I wasn't watching the same handful of comics every
Speaker 3: twice a week as I was there, right, everyone's jokes memorized.
Speaker 3: I still do, I.
Speaker 2: Think because just like you were saying earlier, when you're
Speaker 2: little and time seems to pass slower or whatever, when
Speaker 2: you first start comedy, you have wanted to do it
Speaker 2: for so long and it's finally happening. For me, it
Speaker 2: was like peak experiences where it just be like I
Speaker 2: would be there and I would be like, I have
Speaker 2: to go up in four? What am I following? What's
Speaker 2: this like? And it would just be like, how are
Speaker 2: they doing it? How am I not doing it? Like
Speaker 2: I want to do as well as they're going to do,
Speaker 2: you know, watching Blanka Bach hosted so many of those
Speaker 2: shows that I used to do with the San Francisco
Speaker 2: improv where like watching Blaine do it where I'm like,
Speaker 2: don't watch it. You can't do it his way. You
Speaker 2: have to do it your way.
Speaker 1: But it's like you have to absorb that because you
Speaker 1: need to know how to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was an improv in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rightly right downtown Mason and Geary Mason and I
Speaker 2: know that streets. Yeah yeah, And it was cool because
Speaker 2: the box office was on the sidewalk, but then you
Speaker 2: it was a staircase down. Oh wow, and you were
Speaker 2: in the basement.
Speaker 3: That's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I used to win.
Speaker 3: I moved to Austin Howard Kramer and Chip Pope where
Speaker 3: the guys that went to LA and they were riding
Speaker 3: on shows and everyone talked about them. I just moved
Speaker 3: there after they had left. So when they came back,
Speaker 3: I would watch them with that kind of excitement, like
Speaker 3: just trying to soak it in. Yeah, and I Kramer
Speaker 3: would be weirded out by how many of his jokes
Speaker 3: back then that I have memorized.
Speaker 2: He doesn't like a lot of things.
Speaker 3: He would be weirded out. Yeah, I would not do
Speaker 3: them in front of him. He'd be like, oh, you
Speaker 3: left out a lot of stuff you did like a
Speaker 3: bestardized version. It didn't even make sense. But I know,
Speaker 3: I know what he used to say very much.
Speaker 2: But wait, how did he find out that you knew
Speaker 2: all his jokes? So you just told him?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think he does know.
Speaker 2: He's finding out right now.
Speaker 3: There are times where I'm like, do you ever do
Speaker 3: this joke? And he has like hardly any memory of it,
Speaker 3: and I'll reside it and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: He used to do country songs, his early rapping, all
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I so honored that he had me be his
Speaker 3: backup dancer, so much so that one time I broke
Speaker 3: my arm dancing for him, and I didn't say anything
Speaker 3: because I didn't it was so much pain. It hurt
Speaker 3: for months, and I didn't think I'm like, if it
Speaker 3: was broken, my arm would be croaking.
Speaker 2: It was like a.
Speaker 3: Green stick for hairline fracture. Oh and I didn't tell
Speaker 3: him til years later. Remember when I did the diving
Speaker 3: worm off that stool, I broke my arm because I
Speaker 3: didn't I did the diving worm. It used to be
Speaker 3: my comedic move. If I couldn't even think of a joke,
Speaker 3: I'd start break dancing. It's just so funny because now
Speaker 3: I just stand horrified by the mic stand. I don't
Speaker 3: use the stage.
Speaker 2: Let's go back to those old options.
Speaker 3: I gotta work the space. But I did the worm
Speaker 3: and my legs hit a wall. Ooh and so it
Speaker 3: kind of stopped my momentum and it hurt my arm. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and at my sister's wedding reception, I did the same thing,
Speaker 3: but instead of a wall, I kicked my grandpa in
Speaker 3: the chest doing the diving worm. He already we already
Speaker 3: worked close. Oh no, but I do remember. That's one
Speaker 3: of my last memories in the room with my living grandpa,
Speaker 3: that I kicked him in the chest.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you can't handle the break circle, then back
Speaker 2: the fuck up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why are you doing top rock like you're gonna
Speaker 3: dive in and windmill.
Speaker 2: Back it up, Grandpa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's your moves? You're just doing the robot if
Speaker 3: you can call it that.
Speaker 2: He was just doing that arms crossover dance over and over.
Speaker 3: The judgment sway, he really didn't take off in the streets.
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny. I forgot I kicked kicked girl right
Speaker 3: in the chest.
Speaker 2: So Howard is just learning right now that you had
Speaker 2: his entire act memorize than that you used to act
Speaker 2: it out in your basement dressed up as him.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean.
Speaker 2: And then he also is learning now or he learned
Speaker 2: then that you broke your arm.
Speaker 3: Think of this Madonna closet and replace all the pictures
Speaker 3: with Howard Kramer. That's basically. He has no idea that
Speaker 3: I was emulating him.
Speaker 2: And he comes over one time and you forget and
Speaker 2: you just go out for a second.
Speaker 3: That's the thing. There was no effort put into it
Speaker 3: at all. I just realized today that I still know
Speaker 3: so many of his jokes, Matt Bearden's jokes, all these
Speaker 3: comics I started with. I know so many of their jokes,
Speaker 3: and it's so fun. I would love to do a
Speaker 3: show like that today, except I don't know that I
Speaker 3: know enough other comics material.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh did you do a switcher room?
Speaker 3: They did one time at meltdown, where you would watch
Speaker 3: someone's act and they would watch yours, and then they
Speaker 3: tried to remember as much as possible. Guy brandam and
Speaker 3: I had did it. That's so funny and it was fun,
Speaker 3: but it was stressful and I had fun. It was fun,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't the same thing. It was like an
Speaker 3: interpretation because they had just seen it wouldn't have been
Speaker 3: exciting at all to verbatim repeat their jokes. Yes, but
Speaker 3: it was fun to like manipulate and change the joke
Speaker 3: or in my case, guy just reprimanded all my premises.
Speaker 2: But that's okay, as he did your act.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, here's the flaws in this. I'm like, you
Speaker 3: do make valid points, but my feelings are bigger. And
Speaker 3: who knows. Maybe I did the same, Maybe I did
Speaker 3: this same.
Speaker 2: Maybe did you go before him or after him?
Speaker 3: I do not recall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was this sounds like vengeance to
Speaker 2: me what he was doing.
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you had fun. You thought it was
Speaker 2: light and arian breezy. He didn't agree, and he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: Oh you want to go there, Let's do this.
Speaker 3: Thing that I got big laughs.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we never do. No. When our fellow comedians kill,
Speaker 2: it's always an insult to.
Speaker 3: Us, right, you're right, we take it personally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it just means you're a last man. So
Speaker 2: either you get up there and beat them or you
Speaker 2: Why don't you just quit?
Speaker 3: I hope you're listening, audience. We'd never It's because we're
Speaker 3: in a traditional setting right now, and I am getting
Speaker 3: used to it. But when have I called the people
Speaker 3: listening audience?
Speaker 2: I know you're turning into this deep voiced weirdo that
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Right, it's pretty great because you're not used to looking
Speaker 3: up my face.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I've just become the guy with suspenders whose name I can't.
Speaker 4: Remember, King, Johnny apple Seed something, King, Alan King, Kong.
Speaker 3: He was friends with Sharon Stone, Larry King, Werry King,
Speaker 3: thank you another person friends. He was friends with Sharon's Stone.
Speaker 2: That's how I got it.
Speaker 3: You knew that though friendship.
Speaker 2: I was back on the suspenders Ellen and.
Speaker 3: W Bush at a baseball game. They were hanging out.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, we've lost Larry King, right he passed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can find him. He's in a graveyard. No
Speaker 3: one wrote down the address. That's right after a few
Speaker 3: years past.
Speaker 2: I'm like, light of your death, Larry would want it.
Speaker 2: That's what he was like.
Speaker 3: If he is right now here, right now here, I
Speaker 3: grab his suspenders and snap him back.
Speaker 2: Snap the hell off of them. Sorry. Also, he would
Speaker 2: just be like. It would be like, Larry, are you offended?
Speaker 2: Do you want us to get these guys to pull
Speaker 2: that off their podcast? You'd be like, nah, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, caller Philadelphia, you're on the air.
Speaker 3: What if he had an open casket and you went
Speaker 3: up to Larry King to pay your respects and that's
Speaker 3: when you snapped his suspenders.
Speaker 2: You would get your ass hauled out of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He's always surrounded by huge Yeah. I don't mean
Speaker 3: to speak ill of the man. He just never spoke
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 2: But I thought, Larry King.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just wasn't my guy.
Speaker 2: Oh oh he didn't.
Speaker 3: You know, I got my guys.
Speaker 2: I thought you you do. He's not in your Costco
Speaker 2: Morning posse. But I thought you meant like he didn't
Speaker 2: speak to you because you worked together and he was
Speaker 2: rude as opposed to he wasn't your taste.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think I would ever have access to
Speaker 3: him until you know, Henry Phillips was on his like
Speaker 3: radio studio like whatever iteration.
Speaker 2: Of his show he had later and that that's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was. It's fun to watch.
Speaker 2: And sorry it was video. It was like a TV show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's cool tubable and Henry's great on it.
Speaker 1: I bet he is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Henry should be famous.
Speaker 3: Sure, may you know what, maybe he didn't want to be.
Speaker 2: I mean, I love he really had the option though, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 3: He might still he could absolutely still Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his you and your goddamn coffee or whatever, that
Speaker 2: fucking coffee. You and your fucking coffee is one of
Speaker 2: the funniest things because I absolutely am that person that
Speaker 2: is too much a big cup of too much coffee,
Speaker 2: like sloshing around everywhere. Yeah, so funny.
Speaker 3: And I brought a giant coffee last time I voted.
Speaker 3: One of those episodes is him pouring into the voting
Speaker 3: machine and fucking up the election. Yeah, you have to
Speaker 3: watch these videos.
Speaker 2: Audience, audience, audience, we're speaking with you.
Speaker 3: And it's I related to it so much, just even
Speaker 3: on the level every time my mom drove me to
Speaker 3: school when I was a kid, she would hand me
Speaker 3: a traditional mug of hot coffee filled to the brim.
Speaker 3: Because they didn't make car mugs back then. We looked
Speaker 3: at catalogs for booners and my moms had ceramic mugs
Speaker 3: with no lids and it's spilled all over me. I
Speaker 3: had so many coffee burns always we had.
Speaker 2: You know, it's fascinating. And this was like one of
Speaker 2: those childhood things where because because I was new to
Speaker 2: the world, it's fast. It was like the coolest thing
Speaker 2: of all time. And Benedetti was the woman who drove
Speaker 2: our carpool in the morning. Was the Benedetti's were the
Speaker 2: family we drove carpool with. I like that name Benedetti,
Speaker 2: isn't it great? Benedetti They run the Clover Store Netta
Speaker 2: Creamery in Petaluma, which is now like you get that
Speaker 2: milk at Whole Foods. Oh okay, wow, I know it's cool.
Speaker 2: So they're rich now, I think so, but no GMOs,
Speaker 2: Like they're one of the original organic, like our cows
Speaker 2: literally are going to stand out in this field and
Speaker 2: you'll get their milk and their chill type of milk.
Speaker 2: And I think that's why it was like incredibly high quality.
Speaker 2: And then they're just like, oh, then that means Whole
Speaker 2: Foods wants it and all the other places.
Speaker 3: You know, hear a lot of dairy success stories anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh I got one for you, and it's pedalum all
Speaker 2: the way. Baby.
Speaker 3: There was Dale's Dairy in my town, and I was
Speaker 3: very sad one day when they didn't have the dairy anymore.
Speaker 3: They had to buy a video store, right when renting
Speaker 3: videos wasn't popular anymore. Oh no, And I went in there.
Speaker 3: I'm like, how do I know you guys, And they're like, well,
Speaker 3: we used to have Dale's Dairy, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I went on so many field trips there and got
Speaker 3: to milk cows and ye work, the work, the utters
Speaker 3: and right.
Speaker 2: In a row, two gross things in a row. That's
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't have even noticed if you weren't looking at
Speaker 3: my face. And they were really bummed out, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you lost your dairy.
Speaker 3: And they would deliver the milk to your doorstep like
Speaker 3: a milkman. I am old, Yes, I had a milkman.
Speaker 2: But my story was Anne Benedetti always had a full
Speaker 2: cup of coffee in the morning when she would drive,
Speaker 2: so she steered with one hand and held her coffee
Speaker 2: in the other and never spilled and it was never
Speaker 2: an issue. And I used to watch it. I was
Speaker 2: like hypnotized by it because her handling literally like nine
Speaker 2: kids in their station wagon kkar because it was the
Speaker 2: early days, just really slick handling, that coffee and that steering.
Speaker 2: I was just always every morning impressed.
Speaker 3: That's why the that's why the Feds use that car.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, yeah, your tall hot cuppa steak out coffee.
Speaker 3: Was it a Renault?
Speaker 2: I think it's a Chrysler CA car or a Dodge
Speaker 2: Oh yeah it Chrysler. Yeah, taus.
Speaker 3: Now there's an American car that has exactly what you've
Speaker 3: been looking for. I'm reading another ad here what you've
Speaker 3: been looking for. I still have. It's still is that something?
Speaker 3: That's something I'll do at the new studio if there's
Speaker 3: a green screen. I've been wanting to In that video
Speaker 3: as they sing the Taurus song and it shows different
Speaker 3: types of warm blooded Americans turning the camera and smiling. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to be all those people, construction workers, a
Speaker 3: copper arresting someone, the guy being arrested. I want to
Speaker 3: be all those people looking to camera edited in to
Speaker 3: the old commercial?
Speaker 2: Can I make a picture?
Speaker 3: Early fans would love it?
Speaker 2: Yes, what if you're standing in a closet lined with
Speaker 2: pictures of Madonna and you turn around, that's one of
Speaker 2: the people your friend Andy, just get.
Speaker 3: That would be It would just be for people to
Speaker 3: do that, right, you would appreciate it.
Speaker 2: It's called an easter egg. Get with it. It's called
Speaker 2: an easter egg here in twenty twenty four. And what
Speaker 2: it's going to do is going to create some sort
Speaker 2: of an online buzz. Wait, who's this person that's not
Speaker 2: from the commercial? Why is he in a closet of
Speaker 2: Madonna pictures? Where does that closet lead? Et cetera? Right?
Speaker 2: And then there's then there becomes like a Reddit conversation
Speaker 2: about what's that one shot that's really weird?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And then get you get the online buzz going that way.
Speaker 3: You're right, Yeah, you're right. It needs an obscury easter.
Speaker 2: Egg kind of an that's unnerving and like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: how is that guy let into this commercial? That's fun?
Speaker 3: Did we talk about how? Because it was something he
Speaker 3: brought up a lot Conan and still is Ford Taurus
Speaker 3: from that era. It was like a green Tourist that
Speaker 3: he had in college. He still had it throughout the
Speaker 3: entire time he had that talk show. And I wanted
Speaker 3: to sing the tourist song and have the car parked
Speaker 3: in the studio in lieu of doing stand up, and
Speaker 3: now that I'm saying it out loud, of course they
Speaker 3: said no to that. I thought it'd be a good
Speaker 3: follow up after doing stand up. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 3: want to stand up. I want to sing this Ford
Speaker 3: Taurist song with your as a homage to your car
Speaker 3: with it parked. And he I don't know if it
Speaker 3: even got to anyone except JP.
Speaker 2: I think that died at JP's desk.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's that's too bad that that never happened.
Speaker 2: Well, some say surprise, Some say that.
Speaker 3: I really could have nailed it.
Speaker 2: I believe that for sure.
Speaker 3: But yes, that's more something for a celebrity to do.
Speaker 2: I realized or like the concept. It's like, if you
Speaker 2: could figure out a way to get way more people
Speaker 2: to understand and that this is a commercial for car
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty six or whatever. So that they understood
Speaker 2: the context.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I was pitching it. You're finally selling
Speaker 3: this car you've had forever. I would like to do
Speaker 3: the theme song based on the nineteen.
Speaker 2: Ninety one jingle Is it ninety one.
Speaker 3: To sell your Ford Taurus.
Speaker 2: I here's how I would have pitched it. Okay, you
Speaker 2: bought this car, you were a big fan. Is this
Speaker 2: the reason? Roll the commercial? Now the whole audience has
Speaker 2: seen that commercial. We cut it down to forty five seconds,
Speaker 2: so it's not some big long thing.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Then you do your regular whatever set panel. I don't
Speaker 2: know what you're doing. Yeah, when it's over, say it's
Speaker 2: just almost like off the top of your head, thanks
Speaker 2: so much for being here. And then you just lean back,
Speaker 2: point at him and say, now there's an American car.
Speaker 3: You just perfected it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's why you've worked for so long in that industry.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times the idea doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be good. If I just say, like, this is
Speaker 2: what you're doing, then you get that feeling of like that.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to fail and disappoint you.
Speaker 2: Well, you're going too.
Speaker 3: Yes, I can't believe I thought I could just do it.
Speaker 3: And out unprovoked.
Speaker 2: The people have to know. The average person has to
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about. That's the key to comedy.
Speaker 3: I all this time I've been doing stand up, and
Speaker 3: I didn't know what the key was until today.
Speaker 2: Today. I should have told you long ago. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm such an incredibly successful standard to tours
Speaker 2: and travels, all at clubs and time is all over
Speaker 2: this country.
Speaker 3: I don't want to exhaust myself by saying I think
Speaker 3: you should do it again, but I.
Speaker 2: Will again, I know, and I'm sorry because I feel
Speaker 2: like I invite that conversation to have people. It's almost like,
Speaker 2: I mean, many compliment me and then I just never
Speaker 2: do it. But it's like I just am tired all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: You know, I get it, you're busy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also Tommy starting comedy back up again. I
Speaker 2: think I've said this a thousand times, but it's like
Speaker 2: it truly feels like having to jump twenty feet in
Speaker 2: the air. It's just like, oh, I'm so out of practice.
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't been advertising it, but I've been taking
Speaker 3: pretty long break from it periodic, like I'll go up occasionally,
Speaker 3: but not the three or four times a week I
Speaker 3: usually do it, and last night it was so much
Speaker 3: fun that I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, where did you do it at?
Speaker 3: At the improv just on a.
Speaker 2: Good night, two sets at the Impress.
Speaker 3: For this casey rocket kid that got famous online, and
Speaker 3: you're doing it again. I'm just having some bubbles.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not.
Speaker 3: A character flaw.
Speaker 2: Well, I disagree.
Speaker 3: That that was I said that weird. I went down
Speaker 3: a real Kamala wormhole with that. I know I was
Speaker 3: the example of me saying it wrong again. I like,
Speaker 3: I've liked to have something compared to the perfect version.
Speaker 2: Got it?
Speaker 3: My neighbor can't still.
Speaker 2: That's her name, Kamala.
Speaker 3: My neighbor was named Kamla, spelled the same. No, So
Speaker 3: that's the origin of me.
Speaker 2: Are you being serious? Yes, you had a neighbor, a
Speaker 2: neighbor named Kamala across the.
Speaker 3: Street, neighbor Kamla. And she would come over to visit
Speaker 3: my mom and she'd be drinking and I could hear
Speaker 3: the ice cubes in her Hell yeah, in her vodka
Speaker 3: orange juice. Is that something that's a screwdriver? A screwdriver?
Speaker 3: She'd have a screwdriver in her hand every day. Oh
Speaker 3: you betcha long and misty, Yeah, and slim, long, misty
Speaker 3: and slim. She would come over and I thought she
Speaker 3: was a pure delight. Yeah. She was my mom's other friends.
Speaker 2: They were rock they were Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 3: They were a little strange and uh, but Kamala would
Speaker 3: come over and like flirt with the husband openly, and
Speaker 3: but she was She'd like look at me and wink like,
Speaker 3: this is all a joke, and I knew. And I
Speaker 3: was a little kid that's like, oh, I have this
Speaker 3: inside joke with this adult, and the adults she was
Speaker 3: joking with didn't know what was happening. Yeah, she was
Speaker 3: an early comedic influence. Kambla. But that's what's in my head.
Speaker 3: That's why I keep messing up the name.
Speaker 2: That's such a crazy coincidence. Yeah, that's that's insane.
Speaker 3: Spelled the same. She was a nurse. I always thought
Speaker 3: it was strange she was a nurse that smoked and
Speaker 3: drink a lot.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's because nurses see some shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have to take their work home with them.
Speaker 2: They do have to deal with doctors though all the time.
Speaker 3: Right, that's going to make you want to hit a pack.
Speaker 2: Did you ever watch Nurse Jackie the Like, didn't it?
Speaker 3: But I I've seen clips of it lately, and I
Speaker 3: feel like I should have watched it.
Speaker 2: You should. It's really incredible.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know it was a comedy. I don't
Speaker 3: know why I think it was, because it's like, I
Speaker 3: haven't even watched the Sopranos. How can I watch the
Speaker 3: other vehicle with.
Speaker 2: Name wine? Please? His neck just stretched ord me so long? Yeah,
Speaker 2: eaty Falcon.
Speaker 3: EATI Falco. God, that's a cool name. Sounds like a
Speaker 3: weather person.
Speaker 2: I think you and I have to make a promise
Speaker 2: to each other that we're not going to ingest like
Speaker 2: milk products or carbonated products. I've been burping this whole.
Speaker 3: Episode, I know, and I do a version where I
Speaker 3: just light it affect my speech. You do a thing
Speaker 3: that I take a page from Jessica Simpson's singing, where
Speaker 3: you back up, you back from the mic to burp
Speaker 3: like she used to do. She'd get vibrato by going
Speaker 3: like that, Yeah, you just got.
Speaker 2: That's because George and I do it so much that
Speaker 2: it is like a weird practice that I didn't realize,
Speaker 2: but I could. I could do something about it. And
Speaker 2: I'm choosing not to.
Speaker 3: This is just foreign to me. You're always on the cans,
Speaker 3: in the in the stew well.
Speaker 2: I think we've been doing it for like a month.
Speaker 2: I think we've done it. It just started for us.
Speaker 3: But you've never done my favorite murder in a car.
Speaker 3: You're always looking at each other's faces.
Speaker 2: Yes, we've been forced to stare right down the barrel.
Speaker 3: Is podcast different that you're looking at my face all
Speaker 3: of a sudden for the.
Speaker 2: First time, Yes, yeah it is.
Speaker 3: But it's been fun.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3: Seems like we're making more of a connection.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, great, Yeah, I can't believe you disagree.
Speaker 2: No, I agree entirely. Here's my thing. We'll tell your voice.
Speaker 2: Here's my thing. Is I feel like what I'm used
Speaker 2: to doing and the like doing it in the car,
Speaker 2: and the way the flow of car conversation is entirely
Speaker 2: fucking different. Even though I know we've said this already, Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: it's distractingly different to me. So I feel a little
Speaker 2: bit panicked. I'm like, what am I going to say?
Speaker 2: And then it's like it doesn't matter, We're going to
Speaker 2: get it done.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was nervous, And then I'm like, why this
Speaker 3: is so much safer?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also, it's like so cozy in here.
Speaker 3: It's nice.
Speaker 2: I really like it.
Speaker 3: You guys. I know it's hot where you are right now,
Speaker 3: but it might be hotter here. I don't know. I
Speaker 3: can't speak for where you are because you're all these
Speaker 3: different people in different cities.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're not a monolith. You're having all different experiences.
Speaker 3: Oh, I went to you know, the beach from two
Speaker 3: thousand and one A Space Odyssey.
Speaker 2: I've seen that movie, but I can't the beach.
Speaker 3: You can just go to the beach. It's Point Doom.
Speaker 2: Oh where they shot at?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What happened at the beach?
Speaker 3: My sister like, this is from two thousand and one
Speaker 3: A Space Odyssey?
Speaker 2: Was it when he was in that bed.
Speaker 3: And there's the monolith and all the primates are freaking
Speaker 3: out and hitting it?
Speaker 2: Oh that they shot that at the beach? Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 2: I thought that was I assumed it was somewhere inland,
Speaker 2: like I know, Death Valley type of place.
Speaker 3: No, it's amazing all these movies. If you want, that's
Speaker 3: an old movie, you're going to find out half the
Speaker 3: things are around the corner from your house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: It's fun to experience, it's fun to learn.
Speaker 3: It is fun to learn. Like, I didn't know how
Speaker 3: much I like Richard Simmons until he passed, and now
Speaker 3: I'm watching all this Richard. He was a damned delight
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry I didn't praise him more.
Speaker 2: I know he's funny, he was hilarious. He was hilarious,
Speaker 2: and he was the idea that he started just discovered him.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not kidding. I just wasn't paying attention to
Speaker 3: Richard's sides, like you.
Speaker 2: Were too young when he actually because he truly made
Speaker 2: his debut when I was like ten years old, watching
Speaker 2: TV all the time. Yeah, and he was on everything,
Speaker 2: but he really was trying to help people lose weight,
Speaker 2: like like the Deal, Emial cards and all. He had
Speaker 2: all these programs and it's like let's all stick together
Speaker 2: and we can do it. And it was so positive
Speaker 2: and which of course nothing was ever like that of
Speaker 2: like you can do it and we love you kind
Speaker 2: of thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd seen him, of course, is performative Richard Simmons.
Speaker 3: I've been watching videos of him, like in a line
Speaker 3: outside of a thing that they just shot and him
Speaker 3: talking to people and connecting on a human level. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is like the sweetest person ever.
Speaker 2: I just told this story on my favorite murder. But
Speaker 2: I can tell it again and then we can cut
Speaker 2: it out if you want to.
Speaker 3: No, I'd like to leave it in crossovers. What everyone wants.
Speaker 1: Well, that's really true, but let's see how.
Speaker 2: Let's hear the story first. But he was on the
Speaker 2: talk show that I used to work on, and backstage
Speaker 2: and he had already gone on I think, no, he
Speaker 2: was shooting something for the actual show. We hadn't started yet,
Speaker 2: and I was running around doing the things I had
Speaker 2: to do. And most of the time you never saw
Speaker 2: the celebrities until they were being walked to stage, and
Speaker 2: you didn't interact with them because you're just trying to
Speaker 2: leave people alone. And so that was kind of the approach.
Speaker 2: And so I'm walking down the hall this way. But
Speaker 2: of course I've been watching Richard Simmons my whole life.
Speaker 2: He comes around the corner and this is you know,
Speaker 2: usually sixteen hour days, constant stress, constant public failure, constant.
Speaker 2: I asked you to do this thing, and then because
Speaker 2: you did it, it fucked up this thing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: back on me. Now I have to go tell so
Speaker 2: and so like just constant high stress whatever. Yeah, a
Speaker 2: lot of em and m's a lot of bootcut jeans,
Speaker 2: a lot of big sweaters covering up the stress weight,
Speaker 2: et cetera. Yeah, he comes around the corner and the
Speaker 2: second he lays eyes on me, he goes up on
Speaker 2: his tiptoes, puts his hands over his mouth and goes
Speaker 2: it's snow white. And I was like, literally did the
Speaker 2: I look over my shoulders, like, what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2: And he it was for me, Oh yeah, and he
Speaker 2: like he kind of came at me and like did
Speaker 2: this little thing. But then he like his producer came
Speaker 2: around and was like, we have to walk this way.
Speaker 3: But it was we don't have time for you to
Speaker 3: connect with every single with.
Speaker 2: Every single person. But the idea that it was that
Speaker 2: kind of kind of like the sweetest It was a
Speaker 2: passing compliment from Richard Simmons right in the sweetest, cutest
Speaker 2: way where I was just like, oh my god, that's
Speaker 2: going to float me for four months.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That was the other thing. I realized, what you know,
Speaker 3: when anyone passes, people have to post the picture their
Speaker 3: connection with him in some way. But everyone's picture it's
Speaker 3: him doing like touching their face, touching their chest, intertwining
Speaker 3: with them in some way for a photo. And I
Speaker 3: always thought, wow, if someone asked for a photo with him,
Speaker 3: he'll really give it one hundred percent. No, he was
Speaker 3: instigating it. He was going up and saying, let's take
Speaker 3: a photo. Yes, and probably had a compliment not snow white,
Speaker 3: that was yours.
Speaker 2: That was mine, purely. He never he called everybody snow white.
Speaker 3: No, but you know, way it was the fact that
Speaker 3: you wore that baby blue dress that day.
Speaker 2: I always had a bird on my finger. Yeah. He
Speaker 2: used to do aerobics classes in Central I believe it
Speaker 2: was Century City where you could go in and watch
Speaker 2: him leading the class in like the late seventies, early eighties.
Speaker 2: I believe there was like you know, he was the
Speaker 2: one there in the studio like teaching the aerobics classes.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, after already being famous.
Speaker 2: I mean I think it added to how famous he got,
Speaker 2: Like it was his true beginning was like actually being
Speaker 2: the guy in the studio that made eighty people come
Speaker 2: to one aerobics class because it was like so everyone
Speaker 2: loved it. So much and felt so good. And I
Speaker 2: think I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive he
Speaker 2: had a restaurant called Rouffage that was like a slid restaurant.
Speaker 3: That's so funny.
Speaker 2: At least you mind looking that up, because I think
Speaker 2: there's a hilarious picture of him standing on a table
Speaker 2: in the middle of Roffage. If I might have the
Speaker 2: name of it wrong, but it's something hilarious like that,
Speaker 2: because I used to have that picture on my desktop
Speaker 2: with him because he's like da da but it's like
Speaker 2: a lovely white tablecloth dining room type of place.
Speaker 3: Wow, it's so weird that I wait, I don't think
Speaker 3: it's bad because it's honoring their memory. But I was
Speaker 3: not a fan until after death with him, and also
Speaker 3: Anthony Jordaane ordained, I didn't know much. I'm like, it
Speaker 3: seems like he'd be grumpy or something, and then when
Speaker 3: he died I got so into everything. Yeah, he ever did,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, I'm such a fan.
Speaker 2: The TV's not on so I couldn't throw up the picture,
Speaker 2: but I just texted you, Karen, if you want it.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so funny. So yeah that I'm extending it
Speaker 3: because I want everyone to discover for the first time
Speaker 3: Bob Newhart's audio stand up.
Speaker 2: You've got quite a recommendations list going around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people that are gone.
Speaker 2: I know. Well that's the thing though. There it is.
Speaker 2: It was called rouffage. I look at this shit. It's
Speaker 2: I hope we can clear this picture to show people
Speaker 2: because it truly is of Oh shit, its four hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety nine. We're not clearing that. I'm not paying
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 3: Oh just for take a little screenshot.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, look at the sign in the background.
Speaker 3: That's the fanciest place ever.
Speaker 2: And he's in a black leotard on the thing being like,
Speaker 2: come on everybody, and it was probably it's so does
Speaker 2: it say the year?
Speaker 3: I bet it was last table Richard Simmons is barefoot, yeah,
Speaker 3: and dance and one woman's actually eating and it is
Speaker 3: salads and his feet he is like a guy, get
Speaker 3: used to my feet next to your plate. I think
Speaker 3: now they're posing. That's such they must be shot.
Speaker 2: And also the idea that you would name your kind
Speaker 2: of like salad spot rouffage is the funniest thing of
Speaker 2: all time. That is really brilliant. Also that font, I
Speaker 2: want that font.
Speaker 3: It is the funniest name for a restaurant because when
Speaker 3: you anyone has ever said roughage, it's in a very
Speaker 3: regular meadow musol type medical way. Yeah yeah, And to
Speaker 3: call it that, it's like maybe everyone's like, oh, like
Speaker 3: the thing you eat, so when you're in the bathroom,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 3: Why not? That sounds delicious?
