Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you wanna way back home? Either way, we want
Speaker 2: to be there, doesn't matter how much baggage you claim
Speaker 2: and give us time and a terminol and gay.
Speaker 1: We want to send you off inside. We wanna welcome
Speaker 1: you back home.
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it.
Speaker 1: We scared? Or was it fine? Malborn?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do your need need to ride?
Speaker 3: Ride with Karen and Chris? Welcome to Do you need
Speaker 3: to ride?
Speaker 1: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgareth.
Speaker 3: Noon improved?
Speaker 1: Oh did you hear?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I'm saying that we have Actually we're
Speaker 3: the same.
Speaker 1: We're almost exactly the same as the last recording.
Speaker 3: We've gotten better over time. It's not a sudden improved.
Speaker 4: Since ninety one. I'm so much better.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we've I've indulged in retail therapy.
Speaker 1: It's a lot since the nineties.
Speaker 3: Since there. I am reminded of how angry I was.
Speaker 3: It wasn't lax. It was that I didn't I wasn't
Speaker 3: yet buying pants. I wasn't sure about right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does help for the overall frustration of life.
Speaker 1: Yes, if you can just get your hands on a
Speaker 1: new item, that's really all. And it doesn't need to
Speaker 1: be high end, it doesn't need to be expensive. Just speak.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, And that's what I've been doing for
Speaker 3: myself self care, making this podcast better than it used
Speaker 3: to be gradually over time.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be an all at once thing, so
Speaker 1: quit demanding that from us, listener.
Speaker 3: We don't want the improvement to be jarring. Oh god, no,
Speaker 3: like is this even the same show?
Speaker 1: Please think about your lower lumbar region.
Speaker 4: Exactly for the jarring.
Speaker 3: That reminds me years ago, someone said they were a
Speaker 3: pelvic floor specialist. One of the listeners out there.
Speaker 4: They were flirting with you.
Speaker 3: No, it was it was purely clinical, okay, and and
Speaker 3: I do want my pelvic floor to be massaged just.
Speaker 1: As Sorry, real quick, this is private. I don't think
Speaker 1: you should be doing it about this.
Speaker 3: You brought up the torso or I can't, but I
Speaker 3: need I need it. Apparently that's another way to improve
Speaker 3: yourself someone else's elbow grinding into your groin. Again, this
Speaker 3: was not a sexual it was a clinic.
Speaker 1: So you claim if you're out there.
Speaker 3: Pelvic floor specialist that lives in Los Angeles. I'm still
Speaker 3: interested years later. I think this was pre hip surgery.
Speaker 3: But I need some knots. I need some things done.
Speaker 4: And how have you figured out it's your pelvic floor
Speaker 4: that needs the help?
Speaker 3: Well, uh, I haven't, but it's worth a shot.
Speaker 4: Got you?
Speaker 1: You're just kind of grabbing at whatever might be the
Speaker 1: reason you got me. Got you.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: I think that that's what I need, So hit me
Speaker 3: up wherever it was, because that's the one thing you
Speaker 3: get these these nice messages. You can't search keywords. I've
Speaker 3: typed pelvic floor and all of my social media is
Speaker 3: and nothing's come up.
Speaker 4: But the government has been watched.
Speaker 3: It has changed my algorithm. I've noticed all the videos
Speaker 3: that I do watch of massages and adjustments, which is
Speaker 3: that some people are into pimple popping. I am not
Speaker 3: very much, not no, very same, but I am into
Speaker 3: people being adjusted. And I noticed a lot of the
Speaker 3: cracking noises they're being added in posts. I'm sure because
Speaker 3: I've done some of the moves. You put your leg
Speaker 3: against the wall, you turn your arms over to the doorframe,
Speaker 3: and I don't hear the cooker crook. Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: afraid that that's fake. Yeah, very much false advertising.
Speaker 1: I feel like this person, this classic.
Speaker 3: Nevada driving, What a fool they were just there wasn't
Speaker 3: even a driveway there.
Speaker 1: No, that was a person listener who was basically trying
Speaker 1: to make a left hand turn in the middle of
Speaker 1: Laurel Canyon with traffic everywhere, just because they changed their mind.
Speaker 1: They don't want to they don't want to go down
Speaker 1: the street anymore, so they just took a left.
Speaker 3: You addressed, you addressed our audience as listener. You said
Speaker 3: that was a person Comma listener, and I thought you
Speaker 3: were accusing that person of being a person listener. That
Speaker 3: was a person listener.
Speaker 1: One of our great listeners taking a left that we
Speaker 1: now have to ostracize from the group.
Speaker 3: Do not take our traffic advice. Just because we record
Speaker 3: well in it doesn't mean we know it.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: And also, who cares about LA traffic? I always feel
Speaker 1: so terrible to the person in Canton, Ohio that's listening
Speaker 1: right now, and it's just like, we'd love for you
Speaker 1: to bitch more about LA traffic.
Speaker 3: That'd be great. Because of the nature of our in
Speaker 3: our the theme of our podcast. People have said they
Speaker 3: like when we're talking about roads really and cars and stuff. Whoa,
Speaker 3: people are interested in that. Yeah, you almost put pulled
Speaker 3: the person lessener into it into it. On Colligeon, we
Speaker 3: are going on the historic a what do you call this?
Speaker 3: I'm bad with history. Laurel Laurel can a Laurel the
Speaker 3: popular doo comedy duo Laurel and Tardian. Laurel Canyon is
Speaker 3: really the only way to get through a mountain range yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Crosby Stills in Nash and Young and Joni
Speaker 1: Mitchell and they all used to live there in the seventies.
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles, some of the Eagles, they all
Speaker 1: lived there and wrote songs together, and so that's kind
Speaker 1: of a fun really. Yeah, I think I can point
Speaker 1: out the house that many of them stayed in because
Speaker 1: it was in a documentary.
Speaker 4: It's kind of by the store.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, I do now vaguely know. And it's not
Speaker 3: the house that all the comedians used to live in.
Speaker 1: No, that's you mean Dave russold house.
Speaker 3: Is that? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: He lived in a house off of Laurel Canyon with
Speaker 1: Todd Glass him Alan Murray. So maybe somebody else I
Speaker 1: can't remember.
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, that would be a funny house. Dave Wrath
Speaker 3: is a funny.
Speaker 1: He was hilarious. He was the funniest manager. He's so funny.
Speaker 3: You know. He is my manager for a little while
Speaker 3: when I moved here.
Speaker 4: I mean, he was kind of a great starter manager.
Speaker 1: Right now, he's like taken all of his starters that
Speaker 1: you know, got stuff, and then built it into his
Speaker 1: own beautiful management company.
Speaker 3: Just like I've done with my career. Yep, I'm still
Speaker 3: kind of in a starter stage. But you know me,
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of slowly improving.
Speaker 1: You're, like you said, you once you get your pelvic
Speaker 1: floor together, Chris, this whole thing is going to take off.
Speaker 3: I don't want my success to fuck up other people's backs.
Speaker 1: You do understand that the pelvic floor isn't necessarily back related.
Speaker 3: No, but it is. There's all kinds of thing, even
Speaker 3: even you know the health of the organs that reside
Speaker 3: within that area. There's a lot that can be done. Okay,
Speaker 3: very excited. Okay for the specialists to reach out, I
Speaker 3: can't wait.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know about getting doctors over the
Speaker 1: internet or through podcasting.
Speaker 4: I'm just putting that out there.
Speaker 3: Well, how else? I mean, I through my insurance, I
Speaker 3: go to the list of doctors and I read yelp reviews.
Speaker 3: Is that better?
Speaker 4: Yes, it's way better.
Speaker 3: I suppose it is.
Speaker 4: We at least they're in your area, they're in your town.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless at.
Speaker 1: That tattoo shop coffee shop. There's somebody that can take
Speaker 1: care of your pelvic floor, right. They seem to have
Speaker 1: it all at.
Speaker 3: Super Sweet Coffee in tats Hey Two's. Yeah, someone someone local. Please,
Speaker 3: I can't fly anywhere for my pelvis. No, no, got time.
Speaker 3: I'm very uh, I'm very excited about this year. I
Speaker 3: think we're really both going to turn things around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, me too. Every say every year I
Speaker 3: say it's going to be the year. This year, I
Speaker 3: actually honestly feel it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of years that Trump ruined.
Speaker 1: I think I really stood in the way of everybody's growth,
Speaker 1: sure and personal security.
Speaker 3: Yes, so just keep out of mind right now. It's
Speaker 3: up to us. There's no one else to blame. No, No,
Speaker 3: is that the house that Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes
Speaker 3: Young resided in.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know anymore. I had so much
Speaker 1: confidence when we were on the other side of the hill.
Speaker 3: You were thinking, am all hole and drive? Aren't you
Speaker 3: the movie? Yes?
Speaker 1: I think I was thinking of it's down here and
Speaker 1: it's past. We didn't pass the story yet, did we?
Speaker 3: Oh that little that little with a restaurant that I
Speaker 3: like so much?
Speaker 1: Yes, Pache.
Speaker 3: Until I'm there, there's a lot of things that look
Speaker 3: cozy when you drive by, and then once you're there,
Speaker 3: it's like, well, I'm just in a building, right, It
Speaker 3: doesn't matter that it's surrounded by trees. There's not enough
Speaker 3: windows to appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Pacha is different, is it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: I thought that's what you're saying. I was trying to
Speaker 1: underline your point right exactly.
Speaker 3: No, I did I understand how you were trying to reinforce. Yes,
Speaker 3: and now I thank you.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. There's a there's layers and there's levels to
Speaker 1: this podcast that I feel like other podcasters only try
Speaker 1: to reach right that we achieve.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Are you tired of them just scratching the surface. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's not. Let's not us.
Speaker 1: I think it's back there right here. It is, do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: No, it is it's very cozy looking. I'll like it.
Speaker 3: I want to go to that country store.
Speaker 4: Yeah, country store.
Speaker 1: But the Pache place is like I think that because
Speaker 1: it's been there for a long time. I think they've
Speaker 1: done nice things. But I think the house I'm talking
Speaker 1: about that was in that documentary is like on that
Speaker 1: street behind.
Speaker 3: It, it is a it is a cool street. Although
Speaker 3: it's it's good that, Uh. I like that I live
Speaker 3: somewhere that passerbys don't admire it from a walkable distance.
Speaker 4: You mean, so that things don't get all clogged up.
Speaker 3: Or intruders, visitors unwelcomed to visitors. Yeah, where I live now,
Speaker 3: no one, no one can find it. It's on a
Speaker 3: tip top of a mountain and no one will know. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I have I have this house protected by Smith
Speaker 3: and Wesson with Calvin and Hobbs peing on.
Speaker 4: It sticker n yeah in your own home.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well yeah, it's a little I don't know
Speaker 3: why they're paying on the logo that's supposed to be
Speaker 3: protecting me, but people get the confused message.
Speaker 4: Also, Hobbs doesn't pee, It's just Calvin, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hobbs. Did you know Hobbs doesn't exist?
Speaker 1: He's just stay. Yeah, did you know Calvin isn't a coma?
Speaker 3: Calvin isn't it what he's in a cooma? I just
Speaker 3: made that the whole comic strip's life. Calvin is a man,
Speaker 3: a grown man late, and it's yours that's in a coma.
Speaker 3: I'm dreaming about a tiger friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just like, this wasn't even my childhood, but
Speaker 1: it would have been nice if it was.
Speaker 4: And then he's just like having a nice coma dream.
Speaker 3: I like to think that that's what it really was.
Speaker 1: That I could have gotten that from some online fear
Speaker 1: here or something, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I thought you just got it off the top of
Speaker 3: your head right now, Seriously.
Speaker 1: No, everything from my head is also from the internet
Speaker 1: these days. Yep, yep, Sorry, sorry about that. Whoever made
Speaker 1: it first?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I all apologize ahead of time. I don't even
Speaker 3: know that there's such thing as a pelvic floor specialist.
Speaker 4: The whole thing could be made of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a series of words that I like
Speaker 3: the sound of coming out of my mouth. But that's
Speaker 3: not therapy at all.
Speaker 1: I actually got into I liken the pelvic floor concerns
Speaker 1: with the foam roller journey I tried to take because
Speaker 1: suddenly I had been convinced that I had to get
Speaker 1: foam rollers so my fascia would be broken up and
Speaker 1: taken care of.
Speaker 3: And uh they put in the ads. Did they put
Speaker 3: fake back cracks?
Speaker 1: No, it was more of like that. We finally figured
Speaker 1: out how you can solve your problems. And I will
Speaker 1: fall for that one every time. Right, it's a new way.
Speaker 1: It's like your fashion, it's not your muscles.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. Yeah, and uh so I bought the
Speaker 4: whole foam roller set. And the good news is that
Speaker 4: one of the things was this weird small.
Speaker 1: Rubber ball, right, and Blossom uses it NonStop. She's she's
Speaker 1: bitten a large hole into the ball and it's still
Speaker 1: ball shaped.
Speaker 3: It's a very hard ball. Yeah, yeah, I lay on one.
Speaker 3: I still do it where you put it on the ground.
Speaker 3: I just leave it in that uh the fasci fasciat plash.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it's called. That little area in
Speaker 3: the front of your hip. There's like a tendon that
Speaker 3: goes through there and you gotta roll the ball under it.
Speaker 1: I really want to say something gross and dirty, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 3: I love it when you do that. It's it's you
Speaker 3: don't usually say it dirty, say some dirty.
Speaker 1: Are you referring to the comcutters.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: See, it doesn't feel right when I do it. It's
Speaker 1: what I stand against it. It's easy, it's dumb.
Speaker 3: No, I love it.
Speaker 1: It's gross. Also, the worst name of anything, I think
Speaker 1: is that term.
Speaker 3: Say it again, because you know, well you were laughing.
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people got it.
Speaker 4: Don't have the guts to be to work blue as
Speaker 4: a comedian.
Speaker 3: I think you said come gutters.
Speaker 1: I did. Okay, okay, but god, what if my dad?
Speaker 1: What if my dad suddenly starts listening to my podcasts after.
Speaker 3: All these years, I think you're safe. Oh but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's uh maybe this whole time, I've just been
Speaker 3: rolling across my own ball. See how easily it comes
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 1: I knew you would get you would jump on this,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly it's balls this and come gutters.
Speaker 3: That stop inspiring me to be who I am.
Speaker 1: Hey, I have to say, I haven't been on this
Speaker 1: part of Sunset in a really long time. Listener, We're
Speaker 1: now on the famous Sunset strip right before the comedy store,
Speaker 1: and suddenly there's a large building and these led billboards
Speaker 1: like this looks like mini Times Square.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of a sudden, it's cool, and I don't
Speaker 3: even notice them when I go. We're right across from
Speaker 3: the comedy store where I sometimes go, and I never
Speaker 3: really look up. That's how I'm I'm just I don't
Speaker 3: fall victim to advertising. But as a passenger, I'm also
Speaker 3: always driving.
Speaker 4: And we all are focused on something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now I can really look around and look
Speaker 3: through your glass ceiling. Yeah, and see that Illumination has
Speaker 3: come out with a new migration movie. I'm sorry, can
Speaker 3: you look at that?
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, Oh that doesn't look no, no.
Speaker 3: It doesn't. It looks like Nick Cannon. I'm sorry, whoever
Speaker 3: painted that? Again? If you're just sitting there listening with
Speaker 3: Karen's dad, Oh sorry, this.
Speaker 4: Is going to be a very very upsetting episode for
Speaker 4: that group.
Speaker 3: But you know what I think sometimes happens a lot
Speaker 3: of these mural painters. They'll project the line art or
Speaker 3: the preliminary, the photo or whatever for a perspective onto
Speaker 3: the wall, and sometimes if they aren't aiming right at
Speaker 3: the wall, if it's a little down low, it'll add
Speaker 3: that squishy factor. Yeah, I think that that's what happened to.
Speaker 3: That is a bad projection causing squishy.
Speaker 1: Face, causing Kobe Bryant to be painted to look like
Speaker 1: a Damon William's character from a nineties movie. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it very.
Speaker 3: Very much looked like someone just painted a skin disguise.
Speaker 3: Oh skin, Look at that beauty? Is that just a sign? Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a beautiful sculpture.
Speaker 1: It's huge. What's happening.
Speaker 3: It's like we're visiting this town and we're Quakers.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: This is this We're so close to where I live,
Speaker 1: and I am looking around like I just got to
Speaker 1: town exactly.
Speaker 3: That is a building I've been in multiple times. It's
Speaker 3: where College Humor was located, and I've never noticed a
Speaker 3: grid of garden crawling up the side.
Speaker 4: I bet that's new, though, don't you think?
Speaker 3: I hope it is. I think I would have noticed that.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
Speaker 4: How about the old Tower Records is now a Supreme Store?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Same? For some reason that bumps me out.
Speaker 4: Same, but they had to do something with it.
Speaker 3: It is beautiful. I do want to go in there
Speaker 3: see if I can buy something for myself. Feel guilty
Speaker 3: and then buy something smaller for a loved one, for
Speaker 3: a loved.
Speaker 4: One that doesn't actually want it.
Speaker 1: It's alladays, you know how we do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is rare that we are driving in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: This is exciting.
Speaker 1: Is it's great? This is where show business comes to die.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 1: Also, I'm positive we just walked by like a bass
Speaker 1: player and a guitar player for whoever's playing.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, that we're at the Rainbow Room. Everyone within
Speaker 3: a quarter square mile is a bass player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just walking around killing time before their big show tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The funniest thing ever was when I saw Van
Speaker 3: Halen free tickets. Oh yeah, and David Lee Roth started
Speaker 3: telling stories about and they were like graphic sexual stories
Speaker 3: about things he would do in the tiny corridor alley
Speaker 3: walkway between the Rainbow Room and I think the Key Club,
Speaker 3: and everyone in the crowd was like kind of laughing
Speaker 3: at first, and then you could see them all wanting
Speaker 3: him to stop.
Speaker 1: Na.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of those is fine.
Speaker 3: But we were back there smoking cigarettes. I'll tell you
Speaker 3: that we were smoking something zebnu both and he wouldn't stop,
Speaker 3: And then he took off his shirt to reveal he
Speaker 3: had two tattooed racing stripes down his torso filled in
Speaker 3: with coyfish. No, yes, he looked pretty good. This was
Speaker 3: what year I would say, this was seven or eight
Speaker 3: years ago?
Speaker 4: Oh, very recently.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Could he still do some gymnastics?
Speaker 3: Liked, Yes, that's all I want. I knew his voice
Speaker 3: would be shot, but canny do the high kicks and
Speaker 3: he can. Yes.
Speaker 1: Oh? But was his voice still pretty cool though?
Speaker 3: I mean, you can tell it's his voice, but I
Speaker 3: kind of wanted to have him gargle some licorice extract
Speaker 3: one of.
Speaker 4: The great voices of rock.
Speaker 3: Ever. Yeah, yeah, he really was.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's why I have a Van Halen jacket with an
Speaker 3: embroidered Dave on front that I don't ever wear. I
Speaker 3: just have it because I don't want to tell her.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get in a conversation about Van Halen, okay,
Speaker 3: because I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: And so you bought the jacket for what I had.
Speaker 3: It was a It was a sweat coat, a sweat jacket. Hey,
Speaker 3: what do you call a track sports coat? A track coat? Now?
Speaker 3: That's a a blaze a running blazer jacket, a track
Speaker 3: jacket that I stole from my at the time mom's
Speaker 3: boyfriend and then had because it was digitized and being
Speaker 3: embroidered for something else, had it done at my workplace
Speaker 3: in Austin.
Speaker 1: I didn't track that story of why you have that jacket.
Speaker 3: It was just, hey, do you have anything now that
Speaker 3: we're embroidering Van Halen logos on things, do you have anything?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I have this old track blazer, sport
Speaker 3: sporting your coat sport coat blazer, and uh, I'd also
Speaker 3: like that logo on my business pants.
Speaker 1: So you put van Halen on your yeah what I
Speaker 1: think people call sometimes sweatshirts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's a jacket with a zipper.
Speaker 4: And when you say jacket doesn't have lapels, uh.
Speaker 3: Good question. I do believe it does. Yes, it does
Speaker 3: little collars.
Speaker 1: If it was made of a different material, would people
Speaker 1: say that is a blazer?
Speaker 3: No, no it is. It is like a track you
Speaker 3: know what a track suit, like an Adidas track suit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is just the top.
Speaker 3: And it's not made by Adidas.
Speaker 1: But the shape of the actual jacket, yes, is a
Speaker 1: sporting nature.
Speaker 3: God damn you so I look like if I were
Speaker 3: to wear it's someone that wasn't in Van Halen. But
Speaker 3: maybe pull's cable or make sure that puddles are scot
Speaker 3: shapped or concert got you. I look like I'm a
Speaker 3: puddle boy, great lot like a ball boy.
Speaker 1: And you're afraid that if you have that on. Yep,
Speaker 1: just people are going to come up to you willy nilly,
Speaker 1: Hey are you David Lee Roth?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 4: Do you know davidly Roth? Like that was what you
Speaker 4: were trying to avoid.
Speaker 3: I'm not that they think I'm him, but that they'll go, hey, man,
Speaker 3: what's your favorite album? And that's like, here we go.
Speaker 3: So I can't casually wear.
Speaker 4: It, okay, because you don't have a favorite album.
Speaker 3: I couldn't even come up with one.
Speaker 1: Fifty one fifty.
Speaker 3: I would just say fifty one fifty or van Halen
Speaker 3: van Halen.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're done. Yeah, there's no challenge here. Yeah, get
Speaker 1: the jacket back on.
Speaker 3: What if there's follow up questions?
Speaker 1: You can say, excuse me, what the fuck are you
Speaker 1: asking me all these questions for? They'll laugh, They'll say,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm drunk. I just came out of that bar,
Speaker 1: and then here you go, new friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've kind of panted the picture of a healthy,
Speaker 3: fun interaction. Can I get a new friend out of it.
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't know you have to earn it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, but I have to turn and
Speaker 3: ask them about their jacket.
Speaker 1: Literally, I'm I'm pretending to lecture you, like you need
Speaker 1: to be more open. When if anybody would say one
Speaker 1: thing to me, I'd literally turn around. I would be
Speaker 1: like no, no matter what the question was, and then
Speaker 1: turn around.
Speaker 3: I know I knew straight down lecture, but do head
Speaker 3: directly at us. That's a great.
Speaker 4: Head on collision. Whatever it's convenient for you.
Speaker 3: That was a weird zigzag. No wonder they keep this
Speaker 3: area clear. It's for the hilarious hijinks.
Speaker 1: See it's I guess this is stupid people laying over here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it crossing dumb shit boulevard. I think that if
Speaker 3: we put ourselves in the shoes of this. Obviously it's
Speaker 3: confusing because we've seen everyone's zigzag, right, it is scary.
Speaker 1: It's scary, but like, watch now, she's going to come
Speaker 1: toward us as she tries to make this left.
Speaker 3: Well, instead of just going over as she does that,
Speaker 3: put yourself in her shoes for a minute. It's kind
Speaker 3: of a precarious situation. There's all this Rosa traffic. She's
Speaker 3: actually just not going to do anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's frozen in fear.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what if she's passed. I've been watching
Speaker 3: Six Feet Under and I and Every Cold Open is
Speaker 3: a mysterious death, and it actually has me.
Speaker 4: A little paranoid of your upcoming death.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's like, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 3: even have to think about that.
Speaker 4: No, you shouldn't have to.
Speaker 3: No, and I won't.
Speaker 4: Quick quick reminder, it's fiction.
Speaker 3: It is fiction.
Speaker 4: Although dying is very real, right.
Speaker 3: That's no fiction. So I'm back to being worried about it.
Speaker 1: Okay, but I feel like, and I came to this
Speaker 1: conclusion at a young age that.
Speaker 3: I'm going to die of old age. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: This is my thing in sixth grade, Chris Fairbanks, wherever
Speaker 1: he might be, whoever it is, He's gonna make it
Speaker 1: all the way to the end.
Speaker 3: Did you get a year.
Speaker 4: Twenty forty two?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I guess this year isn't going.
Speaker 5: To be my year.
Speaker 4: Oh that seems like kind of far in the future,
Speaker 4: but I guess it really isn't.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to see success right before that. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's good.
Speaker 4: You're going that's just it is.
Speaker 1: You're going to have like the set of a lifetime
Speaker 1: at one of the many clubs we just passed on
Speaker 1: Sunset Strip, and when you're done, you're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: let's go to meet me at the Rainbow Room, everybody,
Speaker 1: and then you run out into traffic.
Speaker 3: What a closer I found. My dad has told me
Speaker 3: this story several times. But when he was in the
Speaker 3: radio business, there was a guy he was waiting for
Speaker 3: his time slot, and the guy was like profusely sweating
Speaker 3: and sitting there. They later found out he had had
Speaker 3: a heart attack and he said, Oh my god, just
Speaker 3: leave me here, Jim, I want to die on the air.
Speaker 4: No, And your dad was like, sounds good bye bye.
Speaker 3: No. I think he called the ambulance and get something.
Speaker 3: He did mock him first, but for just being a
Speaker 3: drama queen. Yeah, but I mean talk about loving your job.
Speaker 4: Or being lazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I could see myself absolutely being like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ambulances are expensive, I'll just lay here.
Speaker 1: I used to do that when I first started having seizures.
Speaker 1: I would turn to people if I got scared that
Speaker 1: I was going to have a seizure. I would turn
Speaker 1: to my friends and be like, do not call an ambulance.
Speaker 1: It's so expensive.
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 4: It would give the ship out of everybody.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's still my go to the life is that
Speaker 3: it's expensive and I can probably just handle it.
Speaker 4: You'll walk it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, maybe let's promise to not talk about death
Speaker 1: or right or any really any of the things that
Speaker 1: we've been talking.
Speaker 3: You know why I get it out of the way.
Speaker 3: This is you and me time. Oh that's right for
Speaker 3: here on out, nothing but professional and the firing up
Speaker 3: of great topics.
Speaker 1: Great, but everyone can enjoy amazing.
Speaker 3: Look at this. Yeah that was opened up.
Speaker 4: That felt great.
Speaker 3: That's a good omen.
Speaker 1: That's no parking on Tuesday. Mmmm, well, oh only till two?
Speaker 3: What about just idling?
Speaker 4: I think I think we're going to get away with it.
Speaker 3: So we're waiting for today's guests. Do you think it
Speaker 3: would be too much to ask if I could go
Speaker 3: use her restroom? It might be I'll hold it.
Speaker 4: You've never met her, right.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just a man of a certain age until
Speaker 3: I get this public floor.
Speaker 1: Mind.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the last I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: In front of her.
Speaker 6: Please, Hello, we we finally didn't cancel on you again.
Speaker 5: Are you kidna come?
Speaker 3: We did cancel today?
Speaker 4: Oh no, we came over here to tell you we can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so should we just drop you out the corner?
Speaker 1: You know, this is actually perfect right here.
Speaker 3: Our guest today is a hilarious Canadian and you know
Speaker 3: are from clubs and colleges across the country. Put your
Speaker 3: ears together for Alyssa in Paris.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, so happy to be here and have
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a swank car. This is nice.
Speaker 5: This is this. You kind of get it. You go
Speaker 5: elon musk X you know you hate him, and then
Speaker 5: you get in one of these cars. You go, god,
Speaker 5: damn it, Yes, I get it.
Speaker 1: If we could just get him off the board, or
Speaker 1: as the board could just get him off the thing,
Speaker 1: you could just remove him somehow, and then you and
Speaker 1: then you look at the roof.
Speaker 3: You yeah, taking this dash, taking that dash?
Speaker 1: Wowgeous?
Speaker 5: So where we headed?
Speaker 3: Airport, Elliot, that's the happiest place on earth.
Speaker 1: We heard you love it there? Yeah, okay, we just
Speaker 1: kind of drive around aimlessly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you see, if there's a place to get drive
Speaker 1: through coffee, Okay, I love it, yes or whatever.
Speaker 3: And we I might go into the coffee place for
Speaker 3: my own personal reasons okay.
Speaker 5: Perfect, Yes, unrelated to coffee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but sometimes caused by coffee.
Speaker 4: But the really sketched.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I really want to paint a picture.
Speaker 1: For you here since we just met.
Speaker 3: Yes, our podcast used to pick up or drop off
Speaker 3: at the airport.
Speaker 1: Is that real?
Speaker 3: That's kind of nice.
Speaker 5: Though, because then you could get a ride out.
Speaker 3: Of it, exactly because we thought it would be difficult
Speaker 3: to find guests.
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what. Picking up is an art
Speaker 5: at lax because you have like you have to game
Speaker 5: it so perfectly. Well, yell at you the minute you
Speaker 5: start pulling up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you kind of can't pull up in a weird
Speaker 4: you can't.
Speaker 5: It has to just be that you've Yeah, they're running
Speaker 5: towards you and you open the door.
Speaker 3: I say, as soon as you have your bag, I'll
Speaker 3: quit hiding behind this in and out and then I'll
Speaker 3: grab you. Yeah, you can't just go in there. Willie
Speaker 3: and Nelly like, I hope they're ready.
Speaker 5: No, no, No, it's it's choreography. Yeah, there's a whole thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like planning a beautiful dance like Paul Abduel.
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, and that cartoon cat.
Speaker 3: MC cool cat scat scat. Sometimes I forget about what
Speaker 3: his interests were.
Speaker 1: You should please keep it in mind at all times.
Speaker 3: Yes, but yes, uh And then left and Uber changed
Speaker 3: the dynamic. So now we come to your neighborhood.
Speaker 5: But I will say, even with lift an Uber, I
Speaker 5: still think it's a luxury to get a pickup because
Speaker 5: you don't have to do that final walk to the
Speaker 5: other area after cross country flight. That's that's the breaking
Speaker 5: point I feel sometimes is making that trick to the final.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially if there's like one just any kind of
Speaker 1: hiccup on the way home.
Speaker 4: It could break you.
Speaker 5: It could break you if the lift river starts chatting
Speaker 5: you up and they too much colone, too much cologne,
Speaker 5: too little, I can't smell anything.
Speaker 3: Quick, tell me about your screenplay. I gave exactly.
Speaker 5: It's always it's always that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What if there are people that specifically used lift an
Speaker 1: uber because they love cologne and they love screenplay ideas,
Speaker 1: and they're just like, I want to talk about it,
Speaker 1: I want to smell it.
Speaker 5: Yes, executives, maybe some executives or ide lifts and they go.
Speaker 5: Maybe one of these drivers will have a good pitch
Speaker 5: and I'll discover them.
Speaker 3: Maybe I should start pitching to drivers. You never know
Speaker 3: what they do during the day I start driving.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am, it's true.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should start pitching to anyone I see on
Speaker 1: the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not one time I had an
Speaker 3: uber driver. You used to write for the Daily Show? No, totally?
Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, well as we know. I mean, the strike
Speaker 5: certainly taught us that even if you see someone writing
Speaker 5: for or starring in a hit show, it doesn't always
Speaker 5: mean that there's financial security along with them.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, I have to have a plan. B.
Speaker 1: It also taught us if you see someone say something yes, yes,
Speaker 1: which is important.
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Look at this beautiful sunset. I mean, come on, this.
Speaker 1: Is very Hollywood right now, is yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 3: This is a lot better than when we drive after
Speaker 3: five because it's dark and it's scary. Right now, we're
Speaker 3: getting a beautiful sunset.
Speaker 5: And will say it's sort of a daunting thing to
Speaker 5: say at four fifty pm. Yeah, right on the verb five,
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen at five? What happens to you do it? Five? There?
Speaker 1: Well, it's a kind of there's like a zombie element
Speaker 1: that comes out and you'll see, you'll see it's very scary.
Speaker 3: Well you'll you'll hear it. You are looking at the
Speaker 3: back of my head. But I will grow fan.
Speaker 1: In the car zombies, Yes, like a new thing that
Speaker 1: podcasts are doing.
Speaker 5: Wow, in the car Zombies.
Speaker 4: I think I.
Speaker 1: Need to make a left left so that we can
Speaker 1: basically turn and then you can have your choice of
Speaker 1: businesses to go into rue.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alfred up here.
Speaker 5: I believe I love Alfred. You guys go to Alfred.
Speaker 3: No, who's Alfred?
Speaker 5: Elphas? Sort of? I would say it's an La. It
Speaker 5: feels like I think just in La. Good coffee and
Speaker 5: nice bread, the sandwich, a little hip maybe so sometimes
Speaker 5: a little bit you have to wait a little bit.
Speaker 5: There's some people taking pictures of their coffee. Is that
Speaker 5: kind of thing?
Speaker 1: Do you work on your screenplay at Alfred?
Speaker 5: I'm not a ever. I think maybe in New York
Speaker 5: I was like a on the go, But in La,
Speaker 5: I'm a real work on my screenplay at home and
Speaker 5: at night. I'm a big night worker.
Speaker 3: Oh m hm.
Speaker 4: And what do you think you it's better just for
Speaker 4: ideas and stuff.
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is, but there's something that
Speaker 5: feels really safe to me about the evening, like no
Speaker 5: one can interrupt me, or no one needs me, or
Speaker 5: there's nothing like that can pop up. So there's something
Speaker 5: kind of nice about this is just my time. And
Speaker 5: so then if I'm creating this world, I can just
Speaker 5: cuddle into this world. Whereas I think it becomes a
Speaker 5: little hard during the day or there's things happening that
Speaker 5: I don't know take me.
Speaker 3: Out of the Yeah, I do all my important work off
Speaker 3: business hours. Yeah, because you never know, nine to five,
Speaker 3: something's gonna come up. You have to pay a bill.
Speaker 5: There's always a bill. Also, always a bill.
Speaker 3: My brain, because of stand up, is trained to only
Speaker 3: work at night.
Speaker 4: That might be a two.
Speaker 5: I think that that's a part of it too, is Yeah, creative, creatively,
Speaker 5: my brain is more activated at night as well.
Speaker 3: But from the hours of eight to twelve, if I
Speaker 3: would wake up for it, I might be good at math.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, look who we are right now, z Louisviton Balenciaga.
Speaker 3: I mean, and the lights and the light take in
Speaker 3: these lights.
Speaker 4: I mean, it actually is kind of awesome.
Speaker 5: It really is. Do you think people buy stuff at
Speaker 5: these stories like how many, how much is being bought
Speaker 5: and how much of this is just sort of a
Speaker 5: museum type.
Speaker 3: Thing, right I think? Yes?
Speaker 5: I mean like Cardier, there's there's a line, but there's
Speaker 5: no one in.
Speaker 4: There's a line that is it a created line? Because
Speaker 4: that store is hella.
Speaker 1: So incredibly.
Speaker 5: What would you call that? Like a movie theater?
Speaker 1: Like when you're like a vip road rope, stay away
Speaker 1: the sole lady just kind of ambling nearby? Is it
Speaker 1: because they're afraid that that people are going to do
Speaker 1: the smash and grab thing?
Speaker 3: That's all I'm thinking about. Well, right, but.
Speaker 5: Also I'll tell you what if I was going to
Speaker 5: do the smash and grab that little velvet rope a sun.
Speaker 3: It's just a fun thing on your house.
Speaker 5: Almost gives me momentum.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just yeah, I like to show a little
Speaker 3: style when I add why I'm not doing a hurdle. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is odd. That's what I think of, and what
Speaker 3: I used to think of in this area is just uh,
Speaker 3: you know, you'd always hear about Lindsay Lohand or something
Speaker 3: doing a U turn and crashing. I think of like
Speaker 3: early two thousands, famous people just putting pedal to the
Speaker 3: metal in their ug boots.
Speaker 1: You're a fool, sir going against traffic. And you know
Speaker 1: that was probably like the head of CIA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did have a six that's escaping now. He
Speaker 3: was like, I would ride my bike wherever I want.
Speaker 5: I don't care. Try to kill me.
Speaker 3: Again. If you get to know me, you find that's
Speaker 3: the only celebrity name I know.
Speaker 1: It's the only one Chris cares about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so many Christmas movies that she's currently in.
Speaker 1: Is she back?
Speaker 3: She's ever?
Speaker 4: I can take her off my worry list.
Speaker 3: Listen, when did you move here from New York?
Speaker 1: You guys moved here around five years ago. At this point,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 5: I love it. I grew up in the suburbs, and
Speaker 5: I think there was something about by the time I
Speaker 5: got here, I felt like a very homeliness to LA
Speaker 5: where I was like I can still have I like
Speaker 5: having a car. I like go to a grocery store
Speaker 5: with big isles, like little little things that I felt.
Speaker 5: I don't know, so I think at this stage of
Speaker 5: my life, I love it. I really am glad I
Speaker 5: spent the time in New York that I did, But
Speaker 5: I'm very happy to be here now. I feel very
Speaker 5: grounded here.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good, I've whenever I visit New York, I feel
Speaker 3: like I should have spent some time here.
Speaker 5: Oh, okay you. I don't know why, but I assumed
Speaker 5: you did. You're you were always l a I was.
Speaker 3: And then I go there and I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 3: audience is really listening to what I'm saying. There's no
Speaker 3: other distractions totally, and but it's too late. I live
Speaker 3: here and I love it. I can't go back now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And also you can too, you know, like it's always
Speaker 5: there if you ever wanted like New York.
Speaker 4: That was the best way to be argumentative.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also yes, no, because I agreed right away you're wrong.
Speaker 5: You're wrong, Yeah, wrong, I am wrong, but.
Speaker 3: I could be right one day.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a second, Yeah, I've been tricked again.
Speaker 1: Well it's almost I agree though, because it's kind of
Speaker 1: like it's it is never too late, especially if you
Speaker 1: already know how to do comedy. It's not like you're
Speaker 1: it would be too late if you were starting comedy.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Sorry, are you disry with me?
Speaker 5: I guess I feel I guess I feel I'm a
Speaker 5: big believer and like you can kind of start at
Speaker 5: any age. It just means probably the older you get,
Speaker 5: the more comforts you have to give up. So I
Speaker 5: think it just becomes maybe more difficult, because yeah, I
Speaker 5: wouldn't want to be living the life I lived in
Speaker 5: New York and going to open mics the way I
Speaker 5: did in New York at this stage of my life.
Speaker 5: But I think if you had the hunger and really
Speaker 5: wanted to do it, I don't think it's too late.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm getting a weird version where I
Speaker 3: visit and I do all the fun shows and then
Speaker 3: I assume, oh, it did be like this every night,
Speaker 3: But it's not the case.
Speaker 5: No. Yeah, but it's a it's a fun place to
Speaker 5: do stand up for sure. There's a lot more bopping around.
Speaker 5: There's a real community. I feel happy to have spent
Speaker 5: that time there. But yeah, I love I love like
Speaker 5: making bread and soup. I'm a real sort of like
Speaker 5: I'm just kind of boring, and so I think I
Speaker 5: really like LA because it's it helps me just we.
Speaker 3: Have bigger kitchens, have.
Speaker 1: Bigger kitchens, and I'm more a bigger demands for soup
Speaker 1: and bread.
Speaker 5: That's exactly yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a soup city.
Speaker 5: I was a real like eating pop chips in New York.
Speaker 5: I never really had groceries.
Speaker 1: Right, so because you were kind of trying to make
Speaker 1: ends meet or no, you know, I think it was more.
Speaker 5: Of a just like lifestyle thing, like I would just
Speaker 5: work during the day, go to shows exactly, and then
Speaker 5: there were maybe there was just so much access to
Speaker 5: good food quickly, like easy, that I never had the
Speaker 5: incentive to cook for myself. It was almost equally affordable
Speaker 5: to eat on the run.
Speaker 3: That's something I would anticipate. I had the best food there,
Speaker 3: and I was eating all that time because everywhere you
Speaker 3: walk it's like this looks great. Tell don't think I
Speaker 3: would ever cook it home.
Speaker 5: And all the time You're like, I need energy because
Speaker 5: I'm yeah, on the goat on the go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. I did realize the lot because I
Speaker 3: stayed there about ten days and I was sore how
Speaker 3: much I was running around that city. And that's a
Speaker 3: good thing.
Speaker 1: Chris, Do you want to run into.
Speaker 3: Yes, I swear that I'm almost having trouble processing thoughts.
Speaker 5: Here we go, come right here, and this is kind
Speaker 5: of a New York place, so it's sort of fitting.
Speaker 3: Because I won't be able to park permission to go
Speaker 3: down that alley. Do it, thank you. It's I'm going
Speaker 3: to go into the Lipanqua.
Speaker 5: Do it.
Speaker 3: Thank you. My apologies.
Speaker 4: We'll be around the block and we'll come back.
Speaker 3: And this is all a hilarious bit that's gonna have
Speaker 3: a fun reveal.
Speaker 1: I can't cross up button go because the light is green.
Speaker 1: Bye strange, Are you gonna do it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, I tried. I try to be nice, and you
Speaker 1: made me pay. You know what's really funny. I have
Speaker 1: a shirt that I need to return right here at
Speaker 1: the Club Monaco.
Speaker 4: I just got it this morning over here.
Speaker 1: I had to pick up so stupid I had to
Speaker 1: pick up a prescription over here, and then I was like, ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to get something for the Christmas party.
Speaker 4: And I got a site. I wouldn't try it on
Speaker 4: in the store.
Speaker 5: I do that these days too. Now, I just won't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get involved.
Speaker 5: I mean either, I mean either, yeah.
Speaker 1: But then, but I wonder, since I'm here because our
Speaker 1: Christmas party is tomorrow, if I could just run in
Speaker 1: and be like, do you have this in large?
Speaker 5: Definitely?
Speaker 1: I mean do you have a place to be?
Speaker 5: No, let's I got nothing.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll make sure Chris gets picked back up so
Speaker 1: he's not left alone.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought that that over there was a miniature mannequin,
Speaker 1: but it's a picture.
Speaker 5: Looks like Phoe water Bridge, it does. See. Look this
Speaker 5: store couldn't be empty. It's one of she's sitting, she's
Speaker 5: like getting over, she's coming in.
Speaker 1: She's like just playing Candy Crush on her phone.
Speaker 4: Like I hated here. I mean, are you ready for
Speaker 4: the holidays? It hasn't absorbed into me.
Speaker 1: So now I'm looking at all these Christmas lights where
Speaker 1: it's just like, oh shit, we're We're in December.
Speaker 5: I know, Well, LA's weird. That is the weird part
Speaker 5: of las because you don't really feel the weather change.
Speaker 5: It just sneaks up on you.
Speaker 1: Yes, and today it became eighty degrees all of a sudden, insane.
Speaker 5: I hosted Thanksgiving, so I feel like I had so
Speaker 5: much energy that I put towards that that I'm kind
Speaker 5: of lesse fair about Christmas Now I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's did you cook it?
Speaker 1: Wow? How many people did you have? Let's see I.
Speaker 5: Four six eight we have mine. Yeah, that's big. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was fun. I'm Greek, you know, so I I
Speaker 5: I'm sort of I like cooking, I like hosting. I
Speaker 5: grew up with a lot of people in the house
Speaker 5: and that's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's anybody else like, did people bring stuff? Did
Speaker 1: you have it?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: Did you just split it up?
Speaker 5: Yeah. My boyfriend's brother brought a couple of great veggie dishes,
Speaker 5: and then my boyfriend's dad came by to help with
Speaker 5: the turkey because we had never we had never made
Speaker 5: a turkey before.
Speaker 1: Turkey is very tricky, it is, yeah, And.
Speaker 5: I'm a vegetarian. I'm vgan, so I have never even
Speaker 5: cooked meat. And it feels like turkey is kind of
Speaker 5: the king of meats because it's so big and it's
Speaker 5: has to be yeah, and it'd be butter and stuff.
Speaker 4: And so much stuff.
Speaker 1: And also my dad, my dad's a good cook and
Speaker 1: he's the one that always does it. But he was like,
Speaker 1: you have to take it out before it's done because
Speaker 1: it keeps on cooking. And so that's why people always
Speaker 1: have dry turkey and just that part of it.
Speaker 5: And you kind of have to be brave to do
Speaker 5: that because of course you're like, I don't want to
Speaker 5: serve undercooked turkey, So it's a big swing to take
Speaker 5: it out early.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you're it's a real high wire act.
Speaker 1: And I never really understood it till this year because
Speaker 1: my dad took it out and I was like, could
Speaker 1: you I was positive it was going to be gross,
Speaker 1: and I was like, if we have pink.
Speaker 5: Yes, you can't have pink pink turkey? No?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how did you guys do with your turkey?
Speaker 5: It came out great, but I would say when I
Speaker 5: say he helped, it was more like he's a great
Speaker 5: cook too, and he I would say, he sort of
Speaker 5: made it and we kind of watched on. Okay, So
Speaker 5: that felt That's why it felt easy because I didn't
Speaker 5: have to do the turkey, so then it was just
Speaker 5: kind of making sides and all the other stuff.
Speaker 1: Now do you feel like next year you could make
Speaker 1: the turkey based on what you learned?
Speaker 5: I think no, that guess. I think maybe me and
Speaker 5: my boyfriend absorbed more. I was kind of worried about
Speaker 5: the other dishes, and so he was more on duty
Speaker 5: and I really am kind of grossed out by meat.
Speaker 1: So I turned away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wasn't that actively looking, especially when like the
Speaker 5: skin was being taken off. So yeah, but it smelled
Speaker 5: delicious and everyone loved it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and eight people, that's like eight people.
Speaker 1: Did you have that feeling of you were kind of
Speaker 1: juggling and it was a little bit stressful or was
Speaker 1: it like because because that's how your family operates, It
Speaker 1: was like, yay, it's this is mother's milk and I
Speaker 1: love it all.
Speaker 5: For me, it's like definitely yay. I've actually like last
Speaker 5: year for Greek Easter, I think I had like twenty
Speaker 5: five people or something. I kind of get a high
Speaker 5: off of it. I really love And I used to waitress,
Speaker 5: so there's a real feeling I like of time pressure
Speaker 5: and moving around and making sure everyone's fed and everything's
Speaker 5: like ready on time. I really like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very fun.
Speaker 5: Yes, and this is like kind of emo, but there's
Speaker 5: something very like I feel very there's something very cool
Speaker 5: about like when I'm peeling potatoes or when I'm like
Speaker 5: buttering the spanakopita, and I like know that my grandparents
Speaker 5: did the same thing and like I can see them
Speaker 5: doing it, and so there's something like very especially I
Speaker 5: live out here, I don't have any family out here.
Speaker 5: There's something that grounds me a lot in like I'm
Speaker 5: doing something that I my like ancestors did.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I had the kind of parents.
Speaker 1: Who owe, my dad had eight brothers and sisters, so
Speaker 1: we have a big family and I love it. But
Speaker 1: I would do like when I first like moved out
Speaker 1: and had like dinner parties and stuff. I would have
Speaker 1: dinner parties, but I can only cook like two things
Speaker 1: and they involve Campbell's soup and it's not great. And
Speaker 1: you know, I realized, like, oh, people are actually looking
Speaker 1: for a nice dinner. If if you have a dinner party,
Speaker 1: you need to be serving kind of good food totally.
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, oh, I just wanted to get
Speaker 1: drunk on white wine. I have friends over. Actually it's
Speaker 1: a different thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And there is like a turn where that happens
Speaker 5: because I didn't like twenties that didn't really happen. If
Speaker 5: you if I were invited to someone's place, I was
Speaker 5: never expecting good food.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But then thirties, Yeah, it's like, yeah, well I'm going
Speaker 5: for dinner. Yeah there's gonna.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, feed me good dinner food.
Speaker 5: I better Yeah, so, did your dad teach you how
Speaker 5: to cook?
Speaker 1: No, My dad was the kind of cook and be like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's easy, just eyeball it.
Speaker 4: He was always that kind of like this should be
Speaker 4: natural or something.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 1: Just recently, I think it was for Thanksgiving, there was
Speaker 1: some recipe where it was like, Dad, I would love
Speaker 1: Oh it was a salad dressing that was really simple
Speaker 1: and really good, and I was like, can you.
Speaker 4: Just write that down for me?
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, it's easy. It's like and it's.
Speaker 5: That kind of thing where you're just like, I don't
Speaker 5: know in fact that Yeah, I'm not an eyeballer at all.
Speaker 5: I need real clear instructions and directions. I think it's
Speaker 5: a different it's like an art.
Speaker 4: It really is.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if you have I think a natural knack for
Speaker 1: it of like the rhythm of cooking, yes, then that
Speaker 1: is a normal thing to say to Somebody's like, come on,
Speaker 1: it's easy.
Speaker 4: But it's like I'm the person that I had.
Speaker 1: My friend Bradford tried to teach me to cook a
Speaker 1: specific dish and he had to say, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: you can't walk away while you're stoptaying me's onions. You
Speaker 1: can't just leave and I was like, wait what I
Speaker 1: was like, cause I just kind of got distracted. Oh
Speaker 1: totally went into the other room. And he's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is a you're doing this now for the duration.
Speaker 7: I was like, eway, totally, yes, yeah, but that is
Speaker 7: also the cool thing about cooking is like, once you
Speaker 7: know a dish, then you can start eyeballing it.
Speaker 5: But I can't go backwards. I can't start by eyeballing,
Speaker 5: and that's how I learned how to do.
Speaker 4: But exactly, yeah, someone needs to be patient with you.
Speaker 1: Exactly a little bit. I think I'm just gonna Pullah.
Speaker 1: This is good because it's right there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is kind of like the lax process. There's
Speaker 5: the same sort of nervous energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not an ideal plan. And also why would he
Speaker 1: still be inside?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: Also, do you have to use the restroom?
Speaker 5: She did come at mine?
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's so funny, that's what you said.
Speaker 1: We pulled up and he goes, is it weird for
Speaker 1: me to ask?
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, and I was like, yes, we don't know her.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, No, that's on me.
Speaker 1: Now, it's on me there. Oh I always do that,
Speaker 1: so sorry here a long time. No, he just full okay,
Speaker 1: and also listen, you should have gone on my house.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was like, wait, did he use the restaurant?
Speaker 3: I know, I just didn't want to open with that.
Speaker 5: No, sure, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 3: I was thrown in a lot of subtle hands. It's okay, though.
Speaker 3: I did a little smash and grab and I got
Speaker 3: us all tennis races.
Speaker 1: Yeah, be really.
Speaker 3: Hill and almost got into a couple other testas I
Speaker 3: scared some people.
Speaker 5: Oh right on this street, this is probably yeah.
Speaker 3: And one was not even it was more of a
Speaker 3: portion of the color seemed dry. So oh, thank you.
Speaker 3: Everything I've said is off the record, and I'm bad.
Speaker 3: I did an interesting thing where I just cut to
Speaker 3: the choice, the choice of cutting to the truth, which
Speaker 3: I just said, Hi, I'm not purchasing anything, I just
Speaker 3: want to use the restroom. And she really appreciated it.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Just went right up front. I did a real I
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: She was fine with it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to buy any baked goods. I said,
Speaker 3: may I use the restaurant? She really liked it.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 3: Wow did you what did you all talk about?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving? Alyssa hosting eight people cooking, the difficulties, the joy is,
Speaker 1: we really got into it.
Speaker 4: We're very close friends.
Speaker 5: Now. Look at that Massachusetts license plate where I'm from.
Speaker 5: Look at the and Sudbury Herb Chambers. My car is
Speaker 5: from Herb Chambers as well. Yeah, Herb Chambers. Because yeah,
Speaker 5: it's such a crazy My boyfriend always loves it because
Speaker 5: it's such a crazy name. Ur Chambers.
Speaker 3: Do you want to go and and see if you know?
Speaker 3: I mean, if it is a person from Missoula, Montana,
Speaker 3: where I'm from, I will say hi, I am from Missoula.
Speaker 5: Also, just because it's such a small time, I'll say
Speaker 5: that with Rhode Island, I think Massachusetts is too, because
Speaker 5: they could be from a totally different party. Yeah, Herb Chambers.
Speaker 5: That's I feel like her, James.
Speaker 3: That so that's where visit your impression of.
Speaker 5: Your exactly, Thank you so much. That's so nice, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's where. That's where it's from. She's was born in
Speaker 5: Rhode Island, so she has a Cranston accent. And then
Speaker 5: I lived in seakaonk mass my whole life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, has your mom visited you here?
Speaker 5: And she did? She came for Thanksgiving. She think she
Speaker 5: was at the Yep, she was there. I I think
Speaker 5: that she loves Elishaw. It's so nice in the weather.
Speaker 5: My god, this is really nice. Yeah, I can't believe,
Speaker 5: can't believe. We're a lot. We walked down here and
Speaker 5: she's like, I don't even know if we're allowed to
Speaker 5: walk on the street. We're not rich enough to even
Speaker 5: walk on the street. Yeah, she loves it here. She
Speaker 5: loves it. But I I think she just has so
Speaker 5: much family and friends in mass I don't know if
Speaker 5: she moved here, but she loves visiting.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Parents love the weather here.
Speaker 5: They love the weather.
Speaker 3: If you want to see your parents more, which a
Speaker 3: lot of young adults.
Speaker 4: Do, they miss and they love them.
Speaker 3: You want to quick drop in make sure it's seventy five.
Speaker 5: All year round, yep, yep. Yeah, So we do it.
Speaker 1: And are your parents or is your mom the kind
Speaker 1: of parent who might move to LA since you live
Speaker 1: out here.
Speaker 5: It's interesting, I feel like yes, Okay, So, like basically
Speaker 5: a lot of those videos started because so my dad
Speaker 5: passed away. They were very close, and then I was
Speaker 5: in New York and my mom did move to New
Speaker 5: York to be with me right after my dad died
Speaker 5: because it was just like she just wanted to be
Speaker 5: closer to me. Of course, So yes, I do think
Speaker 5: she's the type that would move out here because I'm
Speaker 5: out here. But I think that she loved the stimulation
Speaker 5: of the city, and I do think the parts that
Speaker 5: I love about La of like the calmness and the
Speaker 5: suburban nature and get in her mind she was like, well,
Speaker 5: I'm just going to be lonely out like he is. Yeah,
Speaker 5: It's almost like, well, then I might as well just
Speaker 5: still be in my close to my home if I'm
Speaker 5: gonna be in the suburbs. Whereas New York, I think
Speaker 5: it offered a sort of energy that was helpful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or at least distracting.
Speaker 5: That's right, Yeah, that's right. I think New York is
Speaker 5: the greatest healer for for any you know, if you
Speaker 5: need a little Joel to fear life is turned upside down.
Speaker 5: I do think New York is a real friend. I
Speaker 5: love New York for that. But then where you don't
Speaker 5: need it quite as much, I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's like a friend who did some cocaine while
Speaker 1: you were gone, and then you're like, wait, we're not
Speaker 1: on the same lesson exactly.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 5: Think it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday at two? Yeah, exactly, what.
Speaker 1: Are we doing party wise? Here? What's happening? Unless it's closed? Wait,
Speaker 1: it's five twenty.
Speaker 5: You gotta go. You're right here. You gotta do it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna Chris really quickly return a shirt into this and.
Speaker 5: Then you know, it's fun. Chris and I can have
Speaker 5: some solo time. And all of a sudden, Okay, this
Speaker 5: is not nice.
Speaker 1: I can't believe a new way to do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should have been doing this. It's overwhelming.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 3: When we're approached by a traffic cop, what do I do?
Speaker 3: What I do? I just put my hand on the
Speaker 3: steering wheel and act like.
Speaker 5: Our driver is she has just ran in.
Speaker 4: She's right there.
Speaker 5: She had a club monicle emergency.
Speaker 3: They won't know. I'll just say, this is a self
Speaker 3: driving car and it's making a mistake, and you just
Speaker 3: need to.
Speaker 4: Give us one moment to change the mistake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be right back. Finally we can actually talk.
Speaker 5: How have you been? Oh my goodness?
Speaker 3: They go, wow, oh yeah, that was a sudden. We
Speaker 3: were outdoors for a minute.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of those videos. I remember seeing
Speaker 3: them before I knew anything of you.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: Fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, They're so fun. They were really fun to make,
Speaker 5: a really joyful way to spend time with my mom. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and it's nice because you know, I my mom ended
Speaker 5: up moving out of that so her my dad like
Speaker 5: build a house together. Then I live there my whole life.
Speaker 5: They live their their whole lives, and my dad died
Speaker 5: in that house. So that house is like, yeah, very
Speaker 5: meaningful to me, and it's no longer there my mom
Speaker 5: moved out. So now those videos are kind of nice
Speaker 5: for me even because I get to watch them and
Speaker 5: feel like, I don't know, like I'm watching some home videos. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there's something a little nostalgic about it for me now,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 3: Nice and having good times during what was obviously.
Speaker 5: Sadly sad times exactly. Yeah, totally are your parents' book, No,
Speaker 5: I uh.
Speaker 3: Actually, Karen and I both our moms had Alzheimer's have passed,
Speaker 3: and originally that was going to be the theme of
Speaker 3: the podcast. It sounds like tons of laughs. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: And then one day Karen had the idea of like,
Speaker 3: what if we take comedians to the airport. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: that sounds much more tearless here, I am, but that
Speaker 3: was one of the ways she and I bonded.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm sorry, sure that that feels like a
Speaker 5: very tough route.
Speaker 3: Yeah. People always talk about the Witch because I've had
Speaker 3: friends that suddenly lost a parent and I saw them
Speaker 3: that's affected in a permanent way by that, in a
Speaker 3: way where I'm like, well, I'm glad mine took ten years.
Speaker 3: It was gradual, right, totally. This is kind of dark talk.
Speaker 3: We'd like to keep things light, and so I'm glad
Speaker 3: we're having this time to get Okay, yeah, we're getting
Speaker 3: Gothy in here.
Speaker 5: Okay, get I'm Gothy, so am.
Speaker 3: I I have a zipper patch that I ordered from
Speaker 3: hot Topic on my jacket.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh it's just a zipper. It looks like a zipper,
Speaker 3: but it's a patch.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been ordering a lot of you know, Jack
Speaker 3: the Skeleton, like or I messed that up before Jack Skellington,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have.
Speaker 5: Known the differences the skeleton, he's the skeleton. Yeah. No,
Speaker 5: I don't think there's a it's almost like there's no
Speaker 5: good way. It's just there different types of bad ice, yes,
Speaker 5: different Yeah, things you have to how.
Speaker 3: A therapeutic was doing your Peacock special about.
Speaker 5: It really was? I would say that show in general
Speaker 5: was therapy. So yeah, I did a solo show called
Speaker 5: No Bad Days. It's on Peacock and when I it
Speaker 5: was very therapeutic. I started that like right after my
Speaker 5: dad died, and that was very therapeutic. And then I
Speaker 5: think I stopped at a certain point because it maybe
Speaker 5: stopped being therapeutic and it started just feeling like painful. Yes,
Speaker 5: And then coming back for Peacock was so interesting because
Speaker 5: it was like a whole different type of therapeutic. It
Speaker 5: was maybe the letting go when I think that first
Speaker 5: chunk was like processing and dealing and talking and sharing
Speaker 5: and like, help, I need to talk about this, and
Speaker 5: then to come back as like an adult whatever eight
Speaker 5: years later or however long it was, I didn't I
Speaker 5: thought like, oh, I'm sort of done processing this, and
Speaker 5: I was in a way, but I wasn't. I hadn't
Speaker 5: let go yet. And that really that's what the Peacock
Speaker 5: Special I think helped me do.
Speaker 3: Is Dicky, did you, during the recording of it in
Speaker 3: a surprised way suddenly get emotional?
Speaker 5: What a question? Because yes, I I the rehearsal. So
Speaker 5: that day we did a rehearsal and I could not
Speaker 5: stop crying. We did the whole thing and I was
Speaker 5: we had to do like a q Q and I
Speaker 5: was weeping, weeping, weeping, and it was so wild because
Speaker 5: I wasn't I hadn't wept about it in so long.
Speaker 5: And I really feel like it was like because I
Speaker 5: didn't really cry my dad because my mom was so upset,
Speaker 5: I felt I sort of was just kind of anyway.
Speaker 5: So it was like I felt, oh, this is the
Speaker 5: funeral for my dad. This is like eight years later.
Speaker 5: Today I'm recognized, like I'm saying goodbye and yeah, and
Speaker 5: then it Yeah, I felt I guess better on the
Speaker 5: other end of it.
Speaker 3: That's I asked that kind of specific question because that's
Speaker 3: what happened. And during my special that I recorded, I
Speaker 3: just all I was doing was thanking my mom. And
Speaker 3: at the end there was like a you know, in
Speaker 3: Alzheimer's website, and just talking about it or even having
Speaker 3: conversations with people, I would be fine. So I thought
Speaker 3: I was over it, but once, and it has something
Speaker 3: to do with all the emotions you go through well
Speaker 3: performing that's probably to the yes and it happened to
Speaker 3: me too. At the end, I just started crying and
Speaker 3: they've kept it in, but it was I did not
Speaker 3: expect that to happen. And we did two shows and
Speaker 3: it happened each time. Yep, Like, well, surely this isn't
Speaker 3: going to happen a second time, but it was. That
Speaker 3: was the kind of therapeutic where it's like, oh, clearly
Speaker 3: I haven't quite Yeah, there was plenty of grieving left.
Speaker 5: That's how I felt, too. And how long ago? How
Speaker 5: long was the gap between the special.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was to Martin two years.
Speaker 5: Okay, so that's a pretty yeah, that's a pretty short
Speaker 5: amount of time too. So of course you're yeah, that
Speaker 5: makes sense.
Speaker 3: That's interesting. I'm glad to hear you say that, because
Speaker 3: I thought that I was like, well, I guess I
Speaker 3: have no control over my age.
Speaker 5: Oh that's how I felt too, emotions. I was so emotional.
Speaker 5: I called my I called my track coach, weeping in
Speaker 5: between rehearsal, just being like thank you for like everything
Speaker 5: you taught me. I was like an open book of
Speaker 5: just like, oh my god, there's so much that I
Speaker 5: just haven't let out.
Speaker 3: And why are you're a track coach.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing he was like a paternal figure in my life,
Speaker 5: and running was such a big part of my life
Speaker 5: and kind of a big part of the special So
Speaker 5: I think that it something about it just made me
Speaker 5: be like, oh, I'm so appreciative of this person in
Speaker 5: my life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. Yeah, are you still running?
Speaker 5: I am not really. No, I have a bad hips
Speaker 5: so uh oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, don't get me start.
Speaker 5: Talking to me.
Speaker 3: We got bad hips I have. I have a replaced hip. Hey,
Speaker 3: I got somewhere in that window of time that we're
Speaker 3: talking about. No way, and it works great. In case
Speaker 3: you're thinking about it.
Speaker 5: I have a laberal tear.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I don't know much about the tears.
Speaker 5: What about you? You have a I just.
Speaker 3: Had My bones were rubbing together, and they said, you
Speaker 3: were born with bad hips. You have the hips of
Speaker 3: an old man. And I thought it would be something
Speaker 3: cool like, oh, you snowboarded too hard, but no, it
Speaker 3: was just uh I apparently, and my friends let me know,
Speaker 3: I've been complaining about it since I was a teenager.
Speaker 5: So wow, and now you feel pretty much better.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it really works.
Speaker 1: This feels like a great chance for me to jump
Speaker 1: back in. Welcome back to the car.
Speaker 4: I am back in the car.
Speaker 3: Welcome back. So sorry, I didn't you know, have a
Speaker 3: key to the city waiting?
Speaker 1: Well you have?
Speaker 4: You get a key to your replaced hip?
Speaker 1: Yes, talked to us.
Speaker 5: How the shirt did it?
Speaker 1: Was it, guys?
Speaker 5: Successful?
Speaker 1: I bought a shirt that is so popular because I
Speaker 1: needed one size larger and they were like, they don't
Speaker 1: have it, not only anywhere in the city, anywhere in
Speaker 1: the nation o mine. They checked New York stores and
Speaker 1: they were like, we can't even order it for you
Speaker 1: from our New York stores. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: then we have good taste exactly exactly.
Speaker 5: So what did you I saw you came back with
Speaker 5: a bag? Did you just?
Speaker 1: I just kept it and said, I'm going to do
Speaker 1: this a different time because I'm parked illegally and this
Speaker 1: party is tomorrow. So all of this was bad planning
Speaker 1: in every way.
Speaker 5: But I'm glad you checked now, you know, and.
Speaker 1: You know what, thank you for being the kind of
Speaker 1: guest that wasn't like what and like basically allowed me
Speaker 1: to do an actual Errand of course during the podcast,
Speaker 1: of course.
Speaker 5: I sort of thought that was the vibe of the buggets,
Speaker 5: and I'm a little stressed today that I didn't have
Speaker 5: a choice. So in a way, you almost gave me
Speaker 5: a gift of great. Now we have something.
Speaker 4: Now we have yes to do this shirt, just like
Speaker 4: the full circle moment.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, wait did you find the shirt?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't. Okay, I have it's too small for me.
Speaker 5: So now it's such a popular shirt. Did you like
Speaker 5: see it somewhere or how did you find it? It was
Speaker 5: just you picked it on the I picked and.
Speaker 1: I yeah, I was picking up a prescription, like down
Speaker 1: the block. And then I said, I looked at Club Monaco,
Speaker 1: which is has some classic places, right, and I said,
Speaker 1: I'm going to just give it a try because I
Speaker 1: might just find one simple but classy blouse that I
Speaker 1: can wear tomorrow, yes, and take care of like all
Speaker 1: my concerns.
Speaker 4: And then I found it.
Speaker 1: But I did a thing because I've lost some weight recently,
Speaker 1: so I was like, I think I'm this size and
Speaker 1: I'm not. I just and I didn't try it on.
Speaker 5: And in that store, it's like sizes are so crazy too,
Speaker 5: so you never really if you don't know a brand,
Speaker 5: you're like, who knows? Did it run small or big Yes.
Speaker 1: So I did it thoroughly and correctly, like I'm doing
Speaker 1: this right now, or I'm stopping in the middle of
Speaker 1: the intersection to let somebody take a left in front
Speaker 1: of me because.
Speaker 4: I'm in a block traffic. I just kind of wanted
Speaker 4: it to be over.
Speaker 1: I don't like trying on clothes in stores anyway. I
Speaker 1: don't want to learn the saleslady's name or get involved.
Speaker 1: I want it to be fast and easy, and it isn't.
Speaker 3: Do you want her to knock and say, how's it
Speaker 3: going on there?
Speaker 5: If you need anything else?
Speaker 1: No, I just won't answer if that happens. I want
Speaker 1: them to think that I fell and hit my head.
Speaker 1: Just silent treatment the entire time.
Speaker 3: I was going to a changing room with a bag
Speaker 3: of fake blood. Just squeeze a little under there, your.
Speaker 1: Tongue, a little down your head.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just.
Speaker 1: Make their day.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I got so into online shopping and returning
Speaker 5: during the pandemic that now when I go into a store,
Speaker 5: there's it almost feels so rare to leave with the item.
Speaker 5: There's something so like, yeah, I can't I don't have
Speaker 5: to wait.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 5: I get to have it now.
Speaker 1: I had a thing too, where because like working from home,
Speaker 1: it's just something I've just been doing for so long
Speaker 1: that it's like if it's a weekday, I don't get
Speaker 1: to shop like it's I have it all blocked out
Speaker 1: in my head of when and where I can get things.
Speaker 1: So I had this crazy feeling of like I want
Speaker 1: to get this thing in a break during the day
Speaker 1: where I was just like, oh my god, I have
Speaker 1: to get yes, whatever I can while I can, yes,
Speaker 1: crazy person, and then just like this will fit me,
Speaker 1: this will be fine, and just like all of this
Speaker 1: is insane.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So what's the holiday party?
Speaker 4: It's for our the podcast network.
Speaker 5: Okay, so now do you have a shirt?
Speaker 3: I will probably wear something I already have. It's nice
Speaker 3: to get a holiday shirt. Yeah, I already. I have
Speaker 3: a bit of a clothing buying problem. It's gotten better
Speaker 3: since I quit drinking.
Speaker 5: Drinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah I did, and I used to I think late
Speaker 3: at night by purchase things. That was my party totally.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like just yeah, just me four or five
Speaker 3: or maybe all six White Claws and then and then
Speaker 3: it just commenced to shop it. No, I'm now I'm
Speaker 3: more sober. Decision.
Speaker 4: Now I have to get to wearing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it is a bowling party, so
Speaker 3: I will bring my new ball and my new bowling
Speaker 3: shoes and I'm very excited.
Speaker 5: Oh it's a bowling holiday party. Yes, that's fun.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: It kind of takes the pressure off the outfit a
Speaker 5: little bit because it's an active thing.
Speaker 4: Yes okay.
Speaker 1: And also I think the reason I wanted to get
Speaker 1: a shirt was because my original outfit choice was a
Speaker 1: velvet dress.
Speaker 4: Right, and I was like, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: Velvet? This is weird?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: And also I don't really wear stuff like that, so
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I was. Sometimes I like to like
Speaker 1: look at a cattle, be like here's how I'm going
Speaker 1: to be different now, And it doesn't work.
Speaker 5: That way, I know, I know. I think that's why
Speaker 5: I like when I'm on a movie or something getting caught,
Speaker 5: because I'm like, I never really make big choices, so
Speaker 5: when someone else makes a good choice, I'm like, I
Speaker 5: forget that I have the access to do, Like, there's
Speaker 5: nothing stopping us from you wearing that velvet dress, but
Speaker 5: we are just we have a way we look and
Speaker 5: I don't usually stray from it, right, I don't make
Speaker 5: big swings.
Speaker 3: Have you ever asked to keep something you wear.
Speaker 5: That's always I feel like I always asked to buy
Speaker 5: something off of it, keep a little piece of the character.
Speaker 3: With yeah, because it's just going to end up in
Speaker 3: a collection of some costume person.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I like to keep a little little something
Speaker 5: here there.
Speaker 1: It's the most fun character like costume that you've worn
Speaker 1: that you felt like was a big change.
Speaker 5: I just finished this movie called Coming Together, and I
Speaker 5: played like a really quirky, upbeat, colorful wearing gas, which
Speaker 5: was very different for me and I everyone on set
Speaker 5: would be like, oh my gosh, like do you want
Speaker 5: to just keep all these And in my head, I
Speaker 5: was like, I feel so. I was so like aware
Speaker 5: of myself. Yeah, I was like, I'm so aware of myself,
Speaker 5: and I guess there's yes, something about that made me
Speaker 5: so uncomfortable. But also I it did change me a little.
Speaker 5: I like, now buy some bright things because I'm like,
Speaker 5: I should be okay with wearing louder things. But yeah, right,
Speaker 5: I maybe that's the New York too. There was a
Speaker 5: real feeling of I want to blend it, Yes, blending.
Speaker 5: I don't love maybe because I feel like I'm a
Speaker 5: little loud so my voice is Yeah, my voice is loud.
Speaker 5: I'm loud as a person that I also don't need
Speaker 5: my clothes to be I might might hurt people, might
Speaker 5: be too much. I need to let them have a
Speaker 5: break on my clothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, I always felt in New York like I wanted
Speaker 1: to be able to do that kind of chic day
Speaker 1: to night thing where it's like if you're if you
Speaker 1: have a specifically too casual daytime outfit, then you might
Speaker 1: not be able to so true transfer to well just
Speaker 1: go straight to the restaurant then, where it's like I don't.
Speaker 5: Know, that really wasn't you were always out for the
Speaker 5: whole day. It was like, yes, when you come back
Speaker 5: to your apartment, your back for like sleeping. Yes.
Speaker 1: And I made a deadly decision one time where I
Speaker 1: went out early in the day because, as you were saying,
Speaker 1: it's such an astute point, I basically was going to
Speaker 1: get a divorce and just like left and moved to
Speaker 1: New York to like get away. Yes, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to talk to people about it. Yes, And it
Speaker 1: was the best because it was like no one knows,
Speaker 1: You're just completely anonymous walking through huge masses of people
Speaker 1: just churning through like subway up down, the whole thing.
Speaker 4: It's so soothing.
Speaker 1: Yes, But one day I made the mistake of going
Speaker 1: out wearing like a kind of tea oversized T shirt
Speaker 1: to like walk around and like almost work out in
Speaker 1: and sweatpants and maybe a layer that was in my bag.
Speaker 1: And I cut to twelve thirty that night, I'm at
Speaker 1: a Dave Hill concert in that same shirt, going, how
Speaker 1: am I wearing this outfit?
Speaker 4: Like at a club in New York?
Speaker 1: Well, I looked like I just like I came outside
Speaker 1: to empty the garbage, got locked outside on the adventures
Speaker 1: began like that bad like it was hilarious, total embarrassing.
Speaker 4: But of course also no one gives it.
Speaker 5: No, he gives a shit. And that's New York too,
Speaker 5: that like, yeah, you're like, yeah, I'll go to a
Speaker 5: concert that I wasn't planning on going to this, Like
Speaker 5: in La are you kidding? I have plans like weeks
Speaker 5: in advance, but in New York like, yeah, i'll do
Speaker 5: something crazy tonight.
Speaker 1: I'll get swept away. I get Yes, have you had
Speaker 1: any good celebrity sidings while you've been here?
Speaker 5: Mmm? Okay, well no, I was at a movie premiere
Speaker 5: last night.
Speaker 4: Were you in it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I wasn't in It was my my manager's client directed

Speaker 5: dance mom who is really intense.
Speaker 1: Abby, the main lady. Yeah, oh yeah, she was there.
Speaker 5: Holy and when I tell you the way the crowd
Speaker 5: like whenever she she came through, it was really like, uh, presidential,
Speaker 5: like everyone was sort of like yeah, tightening up, turning
Speaker 5: to her, making sure she had everything she needed. It
Speaker 5: was very like hello, your honor kind of. They were
Speaker 5: all so scared of her exactly, like, yeah, who's.
Speaker 3: The dance mom? Should I know you?
Speaker 5: I've seen a clip of dance moms, like you've seen her.
Speaker 5: She's sort of the very intense dance teacher.
Speaker 1: I think, right, yes, she's the main lady, and she's
Speaker 1: super mean to like nine year old girls in very
Speaker 1: tight bun It's there's an intensity to it where like
Speaker 1: I walked watched a couple episodes and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: either love this or something is very wrong, right, Like
Speaker 1: it's because it's not healthy. Yeah, it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, come on, girls, showbiz. But it's like they're
Speaker 1: in Georgia or something.
Speaker 5: Right, and they're so young.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, gosh, yeah, it's not right.
Speaker 5: I seen I saw some Golden Bachelor's bachelorette ladies the
Speaker 5: other night.
Speaker 3: Really jingle. You just have watched enough to where you recognize, oh.
Speaker 5: Come on, No, they're like the stars of this season,
Speaker 5: the Golden Bachelorettes. It's like the because this is the
Speaker 5: first season where they're they're ladies that are a bit older. Yes,
Speaker 5: and yeah, they were great. They were so funny.
Speaker 1: I loved the lady that on the first episode is
Speaker 1: like I shouldn't be here.
Speaker 4: That was like classic y Susan. She was there.
Speaker 5: I met her. Really is she the one who was
Speaker 5: like I hear I can take six inches. That woman
Speaker 5: she made a sex joke and this is such a
Speaker 5: good joke. She she was like yeah, and then on
Speaker 5: the finale she's like, my son was very mad. I
Speaker 5: made the six inches joke. And if I had known
Speaker 5: you'd be mad, I would have never said that. I
Speaker 5: would have said eight inches. I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 5: that's a great that's a great joke. That's a structurally part. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's a great joke.

Speaker 5: would say I saw more celebrities there, sure, Yeah, anyone
Speaker 5: good Like I saw Leonardo DiCaprio there. I waited on
Speaker 5: Taylor Swift there and Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Taylor Swift is about as I mean as
Speaker 3: it gets. I assume that she's never even in public exactly.
Speaker 5: That's why I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so did she sneak in a back door?
Speaker 5: She didn't. It was close to closing time, and I
Speaker 5: remember I was working at double so it's kind of
Speaker 5: helpful because I was so tired. I was just like,
Speaker 5: what are you want? Yeah, and it was pretty empty
Speaker 5: by the time she got there, and then by her
Speaker 5: by the time she left, people were starting to realize
Speaker 5: and then she just kind of like snuck out a
Speaker 5: little early.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think they've planned it that way?
Speaker 5: That they came late, you mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or like yeah, they could tell no one was
Speaker 4: in there or anything.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Carliclous used to come in all the time,
Speaker 5: so I wonder if she kind of knew the patterns
Speaker 5: of the place and told her whatnot.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'll never forget being in a coffee shop
Speaker 3: in Venice Beach near where I used to live. And
Speaker 3: you're a girl I was for years and now I'm
Speaker 3: an east Side boy and I love Yeah, you got
Speaker 3: the zipper. I've been hardened by the city. Yeah. No,

Speaker 3: a Paris Hilton impersonation that was like, that shirt is hot.
Speaker 3: She said that to me, and I'm like, oh, come on,
Speaker 3: don't you would be. But it was actually her and
Speaker 3: she just was complimenting my thrasher shirt, just randomly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And she was just in a coffee shop with some
Speaker 3: other large men like bodyguards. But I didn't know what
Speaker 3: was really her, just because it's just a normal persons.
Speaker 5: Great a wild way to live, Like, guess it's just
Speaker 5: got to be to have bodyguards around you at all times.
Speaker 3: And this was years ago when when probably people were
Speaker 3: even hard for her to walk around. But she said
Speaker 3: my shirt was hot.
Speaker 1: I thought that was It makes me like her?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because what if I's a weird Oh you want

Speaker 5: with a guy and then finds out that he voted
Speaker 5: for Trump. Oh, Sean Klier, he's great. I had a
Speaker 5: lot of fun and yeah. Eric Borke directed it and

Speaker 5: His name's Sean Clire. Oh okay, yeah, Sean cler And
Speaker 5: he's like, couldn't be sweeter and couldn't be more liberal.
Speaker 5: So it was very cool to watch him transform because
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, yeah, I buy it, but I
Speaker 5: know that you are, yeah, the opposite of this. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but it was trippy being back in like COVID Trump

Speaker 3: actors wearing masks and everything sort of.

Speaker 5: was just like four It was really a small cast.
Speaker 5: So me and my roommate in it bomb are just
Speaker 5: we don't wear masks because we're roommates. And then Sean's
Speaker 5: character wears a mask, like the first time we meet
Speaker 5: each other, but then no more.

Speaker 3: like trying, because there are shows that do it, even

Speaker 3: it late, but I don't think so. Now yeah, there's
Speaker 3: they just kind of and everyone was wearing masks totally. Yeah,
