Speaker 3: Are they trying to kill me? Since junk food?
Speaker 1: This is literally just covering your walk at the mall. Yes,
Speaker 1: essentially what's happened.
Speaker 4: My last Twilight year walk where I eat all of
Speaker 4: the bread?
Speaker 3: Wow, there's a.
Speaker 5: Lot Outback Steakhouse Rainforest Cafe.
Speaker 4: Outback Steakhouse is actually no offense to our friends down Under,
Speaker 4: but very no, they won't take offense.
Speaker 1: They want nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3: First of all, Foster's isn't even popular there. I've heard
Speaker 3: Foster's the beer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they really shove it down your throat with
Speaker 4: some bloom and onions at the old Outback is very expensive, yeah,
Speaker 4: and not of that high quality. I mean maybe you
Speaker 4: all knew this, but I ate at my first outback
Speaker 4: within the last half century decade, it's probably been in
Speaker 4: the last half century, since that's exactly fifty years, it
Speaker 4: counts sure in your lifetime.
Speaker 3: The first time I eat there once is a.
Speaker 4: Baby, and uh yeah it's I was unimpressed, but I
Speaker 4: love I love pretzels.
Speaker 1: I love pretzels, those antiens pretzels man and it's Wetzels
Speaker 1: and anti ens. I'm not sure which one is the preferred,
Speaker 1: but I'll just eat whatever's there because I love those.
Speaker 3: Did you.
Speaker 4: One day agree with me that it was a good
Speaker 4: idea to put mustard on your pizza crust? No, okay,
Speaker 4: I would never, I understand. I thought I would never.
Speaker 4: My sister, because she was already a teenager, would make
Speaker 4: me at a pizza place ask for Francis mustard yep,
Speaker 4: and they'd look at me weird. But I didn't care
Speaker 4: because I was a kid. I didn't care about every
Speaker 4: stranger's approval until I.
Speaker 1: Was well, yeah, you didn't notice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And to this day, I have to put mustard
Speaker 4: on my because it tastes on my crust, because it
Speaker 4: tastes like a pretzel.
Speaker 1: I can see it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: I'm just not a yellow mustard person. Really it's too
Speaker 1: like and dominating, domineering.
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, I'm I'm afraid. I'm a big fan.
Speaker 1: You're a big mustard.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I coated on chicken with some parmesan.
Speaker 1: Ooh that's good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. The yellow or the better.
Speaker 1: I've always said I when I'm doing a hot pretzels,
Speaker 1: soft pretzel, whatever they're supposed to be called, giant pretzel,
Speaker 1: I just want that, like nacho or beer cheese to
Speaker 1: dip it into. That is all those mustards can go
Speaker 1: to hell because I'm in it for the liquid cheese.
Speaker 3: Yes, I will.
Speaker 4: I love that so much, I'll pull out my old
Speaker 4: fondue set No.
Speaker 1: Right there at Anti Amne in the mall.
Speaker 4: It's a crock pot for cheese. I plug it in.
Speaker 4: Usually the outlet is near the register. Yep, and I
Speaker 4: dip and reach over whoever's ringing someone off and drip
Speaker 4: drip cheese into the money.
Speaker 1: And they're calling security. Yep, cheese into the money.
Speaker 3: Drift the cheese in the money.
Speaker 4: And they're like, please leave the sir three times this
Speaker 4: week already.
Speaker 1: Sure you're so old. You keep pulling out this card
Speaker 1: that says you're so old.
Speaker 3: It's sick of you.
Speaker 4: Boy. It's hard to know what to think when you
Speaker 4: pass a fully electric hummer.
Speaker 3: It's just two worlds right colliding.
Speaker 1: I have been looking for and I have found a
Speaker 1: different electric car to drive. Oh but those hummers, thank you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the kind. I didn't get it
Speaker 1: or anything, but it's on the way.
Speaker 4: No, everyone's ears to this topic. We've been talking about
Speaker 4: it a lot. This is a good development.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a step forward. I actually picked one that
Speaker 1: I would really love to get and then told a
Speaker 1: person that's going to actually help me because I literally
Speaker 1: don't have a moment in the day to fucking get
Speaker 1: anything done and I'm bad at paperwork. So anyway, and
Speaker 1: it's chosen, we're moving, we're moving.
Speaker 3: You don't want to reveal.
Speaker 1: Let's do a reveal when it actually.
Speaker 4: Exactly and now what if it doesn't happen, When if
Speaker 4: they demand the clear coat or something and you storm
Speaker 4: out and it's just like Fargo exactly, and then there's
Speaker 4: missing cars on the lot. The actually the only true
Speaker 4: part of Fargo. They say it's based on a true story. Again,
Speaker 4: this is an article I listened to on my phone
Speaker 4: but the only true parts were somebody somewhere in that
Speaker 4: area of the United States did put a wife in
Speaker 4: a wood chipper oof, and someone unrelated to that story
Speaker 4: owed some money some bad guys and tried to scratch
Speaker 4: the serial numbers off cars. According to this article, those
Speaker 4: are the only two things. Yeah, those Coen.
Speaker 1: Brothers, those Coen brothers are Look, here's the thing taking
Speaker 1: us for a mint. You can though, because they're such
Speaker 1: good liars that like no one even doubted them to
Speaker 1: begin with. That story was so good and they made
Speaker 1: it was almost like the challenge And I'm making this
Speaker 1: up after the fact, rationalizing and apologizing for them. But
Speaker 1: what I would say is the challenge is you're telling
Speaker 1: your audience this is this is a true story, right,
Speaker 1: and then you have to deliver something they would believe
Speaker 1: is true.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So then the thing you're writing and the way you
Speaker 1: you yourself as the creative is guiding that script is
Speaker 1: making it as realistic and not as movieish as possible.
Speaker 4: But yes, but the same thing could be said for
Speaker 4: Milli Vanilli or the guy that wrote.
Speaker 3: Wrote the is it? Who's the guy that wrote a
Speaker 3: book in.
Speaker 4: Oprah Chats Times Last James it wasn't true. He's like, well,
Speaker 4: I'm a writer.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I want to just sell books, and
Speaker 3: he really got but.
Speaker 1: They didn't gain anything for in that way. Milli Vanilli
Speaker 1: literally weren't the ones that were singing so until now
Speaker 1: and oh sorry are they like on.
Speaker 4: A guy learned to sing and he sounds exactly like
Speaker 4: whoever is behind the curtain Clodells Cole.
Speaker 1: They basically learned to mimic the people they were, Yes,
Speaker 1: slip syncing, yeah huh.
Speaker 3: It's it's like a victorious secret model learning to.
Speaker 1: Sew inspiring thing. My thing, though, was just the Coen Brothers.
Speaker 1: It was such a dtail. But then it's like, I
Speaker 1: feel like the trick of them was saying you didn't
Speaker 1: even think about the fact that that wasn't a true
Speaker 1: story because it because we presented it to you in
Speaker 1: a way that felt as real as it could have been.
Speaker 4: And there's a word we've uh protect to protect the
Speaker 4: names of those involved. We changed them and the other name.
Speaker 4: Like it's something in that wording that's like, oh, none
Speaker 4: of the people we either made up names or the
Speaker 4: real names. We changed the story. I of course can't
Speaker 4: remember what it says, but there's an asterisk. It doesn't
Speaker 4: just say based on.
Speaker 3: A true story.
Speaker 4: Right, there's another line. It is a bit of a
Speaker 4: bit of a puzzle.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's what they start Ooh, there's a guy
Speaker 1: walking down the street too fast holding a big, long pipe.
Speaker 3: How did I miss this?
Speaker 1: Scary? He had a hood up?
Speaker 4: See the guy from that painting where the dog's walking
Speaker 4: so fast as legs are blurry. Okay, it's one that
Speaker 4: I had to memorize for school.
Speaker 1: He's it was more the vibe of a painting of
Speaker 1: someone that's on his way to kill someone with a
Speaker 1: big pipe.
Speaker 4: Oh, but that's also back back when all the killers
Speaker 4: had top hat.
Speaker 1: I was going to say that this series also started
Speaker 1: with that exact same Right, it's based on true story wording.
Speaker 4: Right, which I guess they can do because the series
Speaker 4: was based on the not true movie.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I'm getting more and more upset with both these Cohen boys.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm never going to be upset with me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'm just being people love conflict. It is,
Speaker 4: That's what I'm creating. I see, any good script you
Speaker 4: have to have it in the act too, right, let's
Speaker 4: talk about your birthday party. Okay, of course I am
Speaker 4: still riding high. I bet as no one's ever said
Speaker 4: it is a wonderful yes, and and to think, uh so, no, No.
Speaker 4: My girlfriend was going to have it be a surprise thing.
Speaker 4: She invited everyone. I was not part of it until
Speaker 4: I demanded to know what was going on, why she
Speaker 4: was so stressed. But it was the The only thing
Speaker 4: I really focused on was that little photo booth, the
Speaker 4: the why the click and walk? Why am I.
Speaker 1: Always forget because it's it's weird and it doesn't really
Speaker 1: I call it a.
Speaker 4: Point and shoot, which is, of course the cannon owl
Speaker 4: from nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3: I just related. Yeah, I remember camera slogans.
Speaker 4: But it did end up working. But people were showing
Speaker 4: up at the last minute. She made so much food.
Speaker 4: We thought that was the only mistake. I guess is
Speaker 4: you don't have to have a party that goes from
Speaker 4: three to ten. That's a long time, and we assumed
Speaker 4: everyone would show up ready for dinner, so there is
Speaker 4: much frozen food. I might have another party and the
Speaker 4: theme is we have a lot of leftover food from
Speaker 4: my birthday party. Comma party.
Speaker 3: I should do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, should absolutely it. That's every party I have is
Speaker 1: like I have bottles of riper from six years ago.
Speaker 4: I want to have another one that's more like your parties,
Speaker 4: like a select Although the anxiety I felt when Jared
Speaker 4: Goldstein was the first that showed up and we he
Speaker 4: was the best, and it was we're cooking, and it
Speaker 4: wasn't that we were not ready. And then finally Paul
Speaker 4: Dankey showed up, Eliza Skinner showed up, and everyone was talking,
Speaker 4: and I had like an anxiety thing. I had to
Speaker 4: go into the room and breathe for a minute and
Speaker 4: maybe take a little piece of annex And then.
Speaker 1: What was the anxiety about, do you think or how
Speaker 1: did it come about?
Speaker 4: Well, it was validated by everyone at the party saying,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I was nervous to come here.
Speaker 3: I don't even know how. I haven't been to a
Speaker 3: party in six years.
Speaker 4: This is great, and that the whole time, I literally
Speaker 4: didn't want it to end. At the end, when it
Speaker 4: was whittled down to some people in the kitchen, a
Speaker 4: lot of people crying, you know, booze and and.
Speaker 1: They miss each other, yes, everybody misses each other.
Speaker 4: Of joy, tears of joy, tears.
Speaker 3: But I.
Speaker 4: And it was one of those things where I was
Speaker 4: obsessed with the playlist. I think I was traumatized by
Speaker 4: the Pinata party.
Speaker 3: What's the last party I had nine years old? Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I thought people would be fighting.
Speaker 4: I'd invite the wrong person that had an enemy, but
Speaker 4: anyone where I was worried about that. With who people,
Speaker 4: that's who was talking and I saw people mending old,
Speaker 4: old pasts. Yeah, it was just a love fest and
Speaker 4: I had once I figured out that I just had
Speaker 4: a bad chord for the speaker and it went to
Speaker 4: a bluetooth speaker. I brought that down. Everything was great
Speaker 4: and it was so fun and I tried to talk
Speaker 4: to everyone a little bit. But I feel at the
Speaker 4: end that was my only worry, which is a good one.
Speaker 4: I didn't spend enough time with the possibly one hundred
Speaker 4: or more people than rotated in and out of Yeah,
Speaker 4: just the.
Speaker 3: Best, just the best.
Speaker 1: It was really fun. We came Alison and Goustay and
Speaker 1: I came later on because we had already made dinner
Speaker 1: plants and we're just like, well, well then just go
Speaker 1: over there together. But we stayed. We entered and then stayed.
Speaker 1: So for the listener there was like Chris's girlfriend's backyard
Speaker 1: is like terraced, and so you enter on one level,
Speaker 1: then you can go up to a deck, then you
Speaker 1: can go behind you up three levels to like there
Speaker 1: was karaoke up there, and there was all these kind
Speaker 1: of it was very cool and laid out, really cool.
Speaker 1: But what we did is we just walked in and
Speaker 1: stopped and stayed exactly where we were at the entrance
Speaker 1: the entire time.
Speaker 4: That's what I do at party.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite post up. And then everybody that walked
Speaker 1: in was so nervous that it was making me laugh
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, I thought this was my
Speaker 1: weird thing about going to parties. Every person it was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to call anybody out, but it was
Speaker 1: like people would walk in and they'd be kind of
Speaker 1: like blinking and like wild eyed and kind of like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: what's up. And then it would be like me and Chip,
Speaker 1: Pope and Paul thank you, being like, hey man, what's up?
Speaker 1: It's you know whoever I won't name names. Oh I'm
Speaker 1: going to get a drink and some fries if anybody wants.
Speaker 4: Well, even someone a tall, handsome Nick Foon, who's always
Speaker 4: since I met him, seems and maybe I think this
Speaker 4: whenever someone's like tall and good looking, just confident all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: He said, this is crazy.
Speaker 4: I haven't been to a party in so long. I
Speaker 4: don't even know how to act, like if you saw it,
Speaker 4: and I thought I saw it in everyone, But I'm
Speaker 4: glad to hear you say that.
Speaker 1: Yes, like I definitely saw it.
Speaker 4: And we are a group of friends and possibly a
Speaker 4: city in trauma with the last I mean the world, sure,
Speaker 4: and but also the fires and everything. Everyone is everything
Speaker 4: needed a party. Not that I'm saying I saved the city.
Speaker 4: That's what you're saying now that it comes out of
Speaker 4: my mouth, though it comes out with such with such
Speaker 4: belief and comfort. Saved this city, entire city.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it was cool when we walked years
Speaker 3: rock and roll.
Speaker 1: Either when we walked in, Laura kitling Our's husband Garrett
Speaker 1: was there and she had already left because she had
Speaker 1: to go to a set. And I love Garrett. I've
Speaker 1: been like backstage at Largo with him or like a
Speaker 1: standing at a party in the same circle whatever, and
Speaker 1: I was so happy and relieved because he's such a chill,
Speaker 1: cool guy to talk to. And then of course cannot
Speaker 1: remember his name, and I know his name. I've hung
Speaker 1: out with him a lot, and I was in that
Speaker 1: full panic and then I was doing the thing of like, oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: do you know Alison and then be like, hey, what's
Speaker 1: up and wouldn't say it and wouldn't say it, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, okay, whatever. Like those are the
Speaker 1: kinds of things that at parties I get so in
Speaker 1: my head where I'm like, yep, he hates my guts now,
Speaker 1: blah blah, why am I such a bad person or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I feel like those kind I am now in
Speaker 1: the later end of that I don't care anymore party anxiety,
Speaker 1: where it's like and if he does, god bless, I
Speaker 1: still love him. And of course it would suck if
Speaker 1: somebody that you've known for ten years can't remember your name.
Speaker 1: But guess what that that is the way it is.
Speaker 4: Some of my closest friends I can't think of their name.
Speaker 4: If someone knew whose name I do know because I've
Speaker 4: just told it, or it rhymes was something, or I
Speaker 4: have some.
Speaker 3: Mnemonic device or pneumatic is.
Speaker 1: A nebrill, pneumonic and pneumatics the drill.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but very close friends I will draw a
Speaker 4: blank just as a as an obstacle to create for myself.
Speaker 1: Knowing in your head it's the worst thing that could
Speaker 1: be happening right now. That's the thing my brain will
Speaker 1: serve up, which is, Nope, you don't know that person.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's exactly. What's the worst thing I could do
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, while on stage, forget all my jokes.
Speaker 3: Yep, I will do that social and here we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see how it feels, just as I suspected.
Speaker 3: Awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, glad to know.
Speaker 4: But there is also a lot of faces all happening
Speaker 4: at once, and the alphabet is too many letters. There's
Speaker 4: a lot of reasons we don't remember names.
Speaker 1: Just fill the car up with this French fries smell.
Speaker 3: It smells great.
Speaker 4: It I The only regret I have is my sister
Speaker 4: wanted to sing karaoke I used in the past life.
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it, and she remembers that. But she made
Speaker 4: me sing Billy Joel with her scenes from an Italian restaurant,
Speaker 4: which no one wants to hear.
Speaker 3: It's fourteen minutes long. No he wants to hear that,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 4: And people gathered around at first because we did. It
Speaker 4: was like we had rehearsed it. But it was as
Speaker 4: if we'd rehearsed it. It wasn't like we did in rehearsals.
Speaker 4: We did not practice maybe on a cruise ship fifteen
Speaker 4: years ago. But yeah, we walked some people off the
Speaker 4: old karaoke deck like people were like, god, this song
Speaker 4: is the worst, and I agree, and I apologizes.
Speaker 3: My only regret.
Speaker 4: I really could have chosen even a better Billy Joel song.
Speaker 1: I mean, did you just do that based on like, oh,
Speaker 1: this was a fun thing we did? Forgot how long
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 4: She knows that it was one of my final songs
Speaker 4: in this karaoke competition I won in Montana.
Speaker 3: What Yeah?
Speaker 4: But the other song was bust a Move by Young MC.
Speaker 1: I mean, I there you go, there's your show stop
Speaker 1: right there.
Speaker 4: And I knew people would like it, and I knew
Speaker 4: it had been done before. It's not like comedy with karaoke.
Speaker 4: Hack wins yes, snack yeah, And I.
Speaker 3: Don't remember good reason.
Speaker 4: I don't know what I won at the Stockman's Bar.
Speaker 1: I bet some drinks right right, Yes.
Speaker 3: I think that's all I got.
Speaker 4: But I did do some Stevie Wonder But it wasn't
Speaker 4: even a good It was I just called to say
Speaker 4: I love you.
Speaker 3: This song from some Gene Wilder movie.
Speaker 1: One of the World.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is maybe the only bad Stevie Wonders song. Yeh, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: It's like the melody is a demo from a keyboard.
Speaker 3: It is. It is.
Speaker 1: It felt like somebody made Stevie. They were like, you
Speaker 1: need to hit you have to do this and that.
Speaker 1: So he's like, fine, you're so smart, tell me how
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's the beat made up by a mathematician and
Speaker 4: a lab and but it's the only Stevie wonder song
Speaker 4: where I could hit all the notes. But I wasn't gonna,
Speaker 4: you know, normally nowadays I go for something new wave, eighties,
Speaker 4: something nostalgic. But that was the wrong choice. I apologize
Speaker 4: to anyone that heard my Billy Joel. My sister also apologizes.
Speaker 3: But yes I did not just say.
Speaker 1: Going forward, everything has to be like especially karaoke, go
Speaker 1: it in, get in, make it big, make it fast,
Speaker 1: and get out right.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I agree. It's have we learned nothing from
Speaker 4: TikTok two minutes? Yes, do commercial jingles and get out,
Speaker 4: But yeah, I did not know or it was supposed
Speaker 4: to be a surprise that my sister was arriving, but
Speaker 4: because of finding places for sleeping, it had to be revealed.
Speaker 4: But I still acted surprise. When I drove and pick
Speaker 4: her up at the airport. I had no idea you
Speaker 4: were going to be here.
Speaker 3: It is crazy.
Speaker 1: Of course you're here. You're my older sister. It's my
Speaker 1: fiftieth birth time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was.
Speaker 4: It was so fun. And the photos, I shall post them.
Speaker 4: Those are the things that loom over me now. I
Speaker 4: didn't post all the photos. Why take them If I
Speaker 4: don't show them, They're just in my phone. If you
Speaker 4: come over, I'll show you the Getty. When I just
Speaker 4: gribed the water mark, it didn't probably make sense to you.
Speaker 4: To me, it did not, But then when you saw it.
Speaker 1: Then I saw it in real life and freaked out
Speaker 1: like every other person at this party, who was like
Speaker 1: everyone is kind of crissaying, like it's just like.
Speaker 2: He's just so creative. How does he do it? How
Speaker 2: does he think of it? It's just so crazy, isn't
Speaker 2: it good? Georgia was like over the moon about the
Speaker 2: Getty water marks.
Speaker 1: Oh, I loved it.
Speaker 3: That's so great. I love that it that it worked.
Speaker 3: I didn't know.
Speaker 4: I mean at an hour before the party, I was
Speaker 4: figuring out I was gonna hang it and stick it
Speaker 4: in the ground like a campaign sign, but then you'd
Speaker 4: see the wires, the actual metal wire, so I had
Speaker 4: to suspend it. I found a pool cleaning gnats, breaking
Speaker 4: it at white literally drilled it into a bush behind
Speaker 4: the backdrop, so.
Speaker 1: It was it was being held with something that was
Speaker 1: coming out from the back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like a pole. And then it was swaying
Speaker 4: in the wind. But I remembered some thing about centrifugal
Speaker 4: force from I believe Bill neither science guy. If if
Speaker 4: the two wires aren't of equal length, I tilted it
Speaker 4: at an angle, and because one of the filament, the
Speaker 4: basically fishing line, was a little longer, it didn't swing
Speaker 4: back and forth, okay, because I was at an angle,
Speaker 4: so I used. It felt like that, you know, you
Speaker 4: take algebra or math class and you're like, I'll never
Speaker 4: use this, and then you find you do, at age
Speaker 4: fifty at your party used.
Speaker 1: So you were really digging in there to my project.
Speaker 3: Y Yes, and I'm glad that it worked.
Speaker 4: And it looked like that watermark I didn't realize on
Speaker 4: photos online when someone goes to a dare I say,
Speaker 4: gala or you know, the award show red carpet, there's
Speaker 4: always that translucent this is for the listener. I know
Speaker 4: you know this and they probably know it, but that
Speaker 4: I did not know. It literally was a gray transparent box. No,
Speaker 4: and you can see people's hands behind it and everything.
Speaker 4: It's so that that tinted plexiglass worked perfect, and it
Speaker 4: was an optical illusion. It was like all the time
Speaker 4: I put into Halloween costumes, but this time everyone got
Speaker 4: to try it on.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, yes, exactly, your creation,
Speaker 1: your artistic creation wasn't just.
Speaker 4: For you, right.
Speaker 1: But wait, I'm confused because you're saying the Getty watermark
Speaker 1: on normal red carpet step and repeat. Photography is a
Speaker 1: material practical thing.
Speaker 4: No, No, it's I think they put it on, you know,
Speaker 4: just it's stamped on there and you have to pay
Speaker 4: to have it removed. But in the photos, it really
Speaker 4: is a translucent gray rectangle that goes to the edge
Speaker 4: of the photo. Yeah, and it looks now that I'm
Speaker 4: looking at those photos online, it looks like a piece
Speaker 4: of plexic glass in front, like there's no indication that
Speaker 4: it isn't that, but I know it isn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it isn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just that's how much this thing looked like it.
Speaker 4: It was like, it felt like a little bit like
Speaker 4: practical movie effects, like when they're painting tiny Star Wars village.
Speaker 4: It's like a painting in a background, the way they
Speaker 4: used to have to do it before computers. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: felt like, and I'm again giving myself way too much credit, you.
Speaker 3: Know, the early industrial light and magic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're very much like yeah that style.
Speaker 4: Sure, but yeah it worked. I'm glad it worked, and
Speaker 4: I'm glad it finally. I was excited for you specifically
Speaker 4: to see it, because I know, trying to describe it
Speaker 4: made no sense, but I was very happy that you came.
Speaker 4: Thank you for coming.
Speaker 1: Of course, No, it was fun, it was I knew
Speaker 1: it would be a good a I knew it'd be
Speaker 1: a good group. But then b I was like, what
Speaker 1: better party to go and meet some of these Chris
Speaker 1: fairbanks man boy friends. Yeah that are like skate professional
Speaker 1: skateboarders or I don't know whatever. I've heard about all
Speaker 1: these people in your life that are not comedians and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's gonna be great because it
Speaker 1: isn't just the usual, Like there's a there's this cross
Speaker 1: section of like you and all your interests and your
Speaker 1: hobby friends.
Speaker 3: Thanks. Yeah, that was it was. It was really cool.
Speaker 4: Although there was always a connect between those friends and
Speaker 4: some comedian friends, like they realized they had friends in
Speaker 4: common and it just happened to work out that way.
Speaker 4: There was no one there that felt out of place,
Speaker 4: which was my biggest fear sense that trauma, traumatic party
Speaker 4: where I invited my two smart girlfriends in fifth grade
Speaker 4: and the other the boys were wild.
Speaker 3: And swinging sticks. I was like, that can ever happen again?
Speaker 4: And I'm not even making it up that it actually
Speaker 4: I'm like, I can't throw parties. I just made these
Speaker 4: two girls feel uncomfortable, you know what I mean. Sure,
Speaker 4: but it worked. It was great enough. Bragging a good party.
Speaker 1: Is really something to brag about because it's not easy
Speaker 1: and it takes a ton of work. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: it's hard. It is stressful. It is like, especially you're
Speaker 1: like you have that many people. It's people don't understand,
Speaker 1: especially when somebody was like you should have another party
Speaker 1: and you could just do that thing where you're not hosting,
Speaker 1: you're just walking around socializing. I go, that kind of
Speaker 1: party doesn't exist.
Speaker 4: Or the part you had a party and you had
Speaker 4: I think sprained your ankle severely, yes, and you were
Speaker 4: walking around just on it because you had to.
Speaker 1: Yes, mostly I was leaning against the kitchen counter. But
Speaker 1: I think I make that work. I think that it's
Speaker 1: a small enough how and the kitchen is kind of
Speaker 1: it's not central. It's almost like the kitchen is the
Speaker 1: end point. You come around that corner, and so everybody
Speaker 1: socializes out in the front room. But then you can
Speaker 1: also it's almost like a side room, but it's the
Speaker 1: kitchen and it's open.
Speaker 4: And if you're gonna post up at a location anyway,
Speaker 4: might as well be the kitchen.
Speaker 3: You know, everyone's gonna go there, right.
Speaker 1: And I can kind of like lean against the counter
Speaker 1: like flow from Alice and just like, yeah, be the
Speaker 1: kitchen personality.
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh that's my favorite to be flow from Alice.
Speaker 1: That's what anybody wants.
Speaker 4: And you picked a good You and Trip were like
Speaker 4: at the landing of the stairs, so it is a
Speaker 4: perfect everyone's coming down the stairs, I'm gonna be right here.
Speaker 1: They have to answer to us. They had to answer
Speaker 1: to us.
Speaker 4: Yes, you had those microphones and the press hats.
Speaker 1: I was excited to see Michae O'Connell and I want
Speaker 1: him to be on this podcast again.
Speaker 4: I was so excited to see him and he looks great,
Speaker 4: and yeah, I he is a very good friend and
Speaker 4: I have not seen him in years.
Speaker 3: Oh nice. Good.
Speaker 4: A lot of friends I have not seen in years
Speaker 4: that were at that party, and then they said the
Speaker 4: same thing to me, I haven't been around these people
Speaker 4: in years.
Speaker 3: The last few years has flown.
Speaker 1: By, Yes it has, and.
Speaker 4: It was just nice to have it validated, like you
Speaker 4: are with the anxiety of parties. For everyone to say that, yeah,
Speaker 4: and you could tell it was like it was just
Speaker 4: nothing but love. And the first time I've not seen
Speaker 4: a cell phone out. Maybe they're a photo was taken
Speaker 4: here or there, but I plugged mine in and didn't
Speaker 4: think about it.
Speaker 3: Same hours.
Speaker 1: Yep, nobody did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it was kind of that part was almost nostalgic,
Speaker 4: which is weird, but.
Speaker 1: I think people maybe do are doing it more and
Speaker 1: more where it's like the level of discomfort I feel
Speaker 1: like when you go to a party, if you're at
Speaker 1: the level of discomfort where you have to keep looking
Speaker 1: at your phone like you know, there's a problem, right,
Speaker 1: because that's not the point of fucking going to parties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that also is kind of like the point of
Speaker 1: getting friends together is like, oh, I have to seem
Speaker 1: cool and like I have other stuff going on. It's
Speaker 1: like kay buy then, like, yeah, who cares?
Speaker 4: I think that Actually we're we're recovering from that early
Speaker 4: two thousands scene in a movie where everyone's at brunch
Speaker 4: and they're staring at their phones not talking to each other.
Speaker 4: That's kind of not everyone's more conscious of that now, I.
Speaker 3: Hope, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4: And yeah, very fun, very fun, and so lucky that
Speaker 4: the rain was just it's that party was in a
Speaker 4: rain sandwich if the dryness were meat and the rain
Speaker 4: were bred because last year I just had like a
Speaker 4: gathering and it poor drain.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And uh, the power went out the minute my friend Bill,
Speaker 4: who's great and does that Hard Times news, Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: he was the first to knock. I'm like, oh, there's
Speaker 4: a guest. The second he knocked on the door of
Speaker 4: the power went out, the street was a river. I'm like,
Speaker 4: the party is off, no one's coming, And fifty people
Speaker 4: still came, and there's candles and urban stayed and my
Speaker 4: friend Charlie, who I skate with and as a buddy,
Speaker 4: his wife was mixing frosting with a hand mixer, like
Speaker 4: it just became a little house.
Speaker 3: On the prairie party. That's great. Yeah, and that was again,
Speaker 3: but fifty was a big one.
Speaker 1: So well, where was Howard Kramer at that party?
Speaker 4: I am worried about some of the people that didn't
Speaker 4: show up because I've used well at first, soon i'd
Speaker 4: used what she could emails. I don't know how she
Speaker 4: contacted so many people, but I pretty sure I just
Speaker 4: texted him for the invite. Yeah, and I didn't hear back,
Speaker 4: and I haven't talked to him since the fires were
Speaker 4: a block from his house, so.
Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, I need to check in with him.
Speaker 4: I think he's okay, but I I it was.
Speaker 3: It was the first thing I thought of.
Speaker 4: And hope I didn't say to Chip, but I met
Speaker 4: them together and I think of them as comedy partners still, and.
Speaker 3: I hope I didn't say, hey, Chip, here, where's Howard?
Speaker 1: Like they you know, I just thought of it because
Speaker 1: roommates are something we stood around with Chip, and then
Speaker 1: I was just like, well, where's where's Howard? Sorry?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't think either of them would be
Speaker 4: offended because it's just yeah, that's where I believe Jimmy
Speaker 4: Pardo records his podcast in the Little Door. Yeah, one
Speaker 4: of the first podcasts. I would say he started the
Speaker 4: podcast thing in my mind. Part of yeah, mm hmm,
Speaker 4: pre Mark Maren probably pre I mean, I'm sure there
Speaker 4: was probably some radio shows.
Speaker 1: There was that member Trust, not Terrustrial. It was internet
Speaker 1: radio and it was all those people like Dave Anthony
Speaker 1: was in it, Greg barn was in it. Mark Maren
Speaker 1: was in it, right, And it was out in Santa
Speaker 1: Monica and it was in like an airplane hangar. But
Speaker 1: then there were people in individual mobile homes in this
Speaker 1: airplaying hanger. I can't remember what it was called, and
Speaker 1: I think I can't either, but I feel like Jimmy
Speaker 1: started there right, that is the He would definitely know
Speaker 1: the name of that setup.
Speaker 4: It's funny, it was it hadn't been around that long
Speaker 4: when we started this, But when we started this, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: we're in this game so late right cut to now,
Speaker 4: it's like, oh.
Speaker 1: We had no idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but uh, I'm glad we're still doing it. I'm
Speaker 4: very nostell. I'm looking back on life. That's what you
Speaker 4: do when you're fifty, and it's all good memories.
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, that's great news. And what do you see
Speaker 1: for your next Let's be honest, twenty two years?
Speaker 4: Just kidding, right right?
Speaker 1: I know that was I should have said, that's fifty.
Speaker 3: No, it is.
Speaker 4: I've been thinking of fifty my whole life as a
Speaker 4: halfway point, and then the day you wake up fifty,
Speaker 4: you're like halfway.
Speaker 3: Who the hell do I think I am?
Speaker 4: Helen voris my great grandmother who lived to one hundred
Speaker 4: and one, born in the late eighteen hundred, eighteen ninety
Speaker 4: nine or ninety eight, and made it to two thousand
Speaker 4: and one.
Speaker 3: Incredible three that's three centuries. She saw Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Technically, did you have anything like by the time she
Speaker 1: made it to the third century? Was she like Thissus nuts?
Speaker 4: I wonder I never had a real sit down heart
Speaker 4: with her.
Speaker 3: I could have should be her brain.
Speaker 4: I remember she was when she was a hundred or
Speaker 4: one hundred and one, she came out. She lived behind
Speaker 4: my dad's aunt and uncle, Patent Jim my parents names.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, how did I patten Jim Patent?
Speaker 1: Jim?
Speaker 3: He was? He was so tall and strong too. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, this is where we find out we're fully related.
Speaker 1: That's so weird. And it's your uncle and aunt are
Speaker 1: my mom and dad. We never put it together.
Speaker 4: Well anyway, going down up down to Penaloment to see
Speaker 4: my grandma Bore. Wait a minute, Cottonwood Boulevard.
Speaker 1: You're just pulling in the driveway as my mom's pulling
Speaker 1: out to drive us to like the roller skates.
Speaker 3: It happened hundreds of times.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're missus every time.
Speaker 3: That's why I felt like I knew you.
Speaker 1: That's why your sister seems like my sister.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great. Uh, I think that Grandmavorus went in
Speaker 4: and said, well, I don't think i'll be around tomorrow.
Speaker 4: So like in a healthy way, I just called it,
Speaker 4: really said but I love you, and and passed away
Speaker 4: with a smile on her face, like the own the
Speaker 4: way that we all hope we go. Whoa, that's called it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it is great, but let's be honest, probably won't happen
Speaker 4: to me. It's just weird to wake up and think
Speaker 4: I'm okay, three fours.
Speaker 3: What if it's two thirds?
Speaker 1: It could be anything. I mean, like the way we
Speaker 1: also are just at that tipping point of like the
Speaker 1: future where they could discover something and it's like, oh no,
Speaker 1: we just you have two hundred years at it, right,
Speaker 1: and it's.
Speaker 3: A shot that you take.
Speaker 4: Would you take it?
Speaker 3: Sure? I would too?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 4: What if you have to be one hundred and something
Speaker 4: years old the whole? What if it does nothing to
Speaker 4: the way you look and they're just you're alive, but
Speaker 4: you're just kind of a bag of bone.
Speaker 1: You're like vampire style. So what you're saying, did your
Speaker 1: body age or you stop aging?
Speaker 3: But you're just old.
Speaker 4: I don't even want to think about it that way.
Speaker 4: Let's have it be a vampire style.
Speaker 1: Vampire style for sure.
Speaker 3: And it's a vampire shot, that's what we call.
Speaker 1: It, which means someone by trenet.
Speaker 4: Yes, and you have to live in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: That's all of that is a yes to me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I love I think of all the monsters, well, I
Speaker 1: love the Mummy. What we won't get into that right now.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the monster mash.
Speaker 1: The Mummy is like so underrated because no one really
Speaker 1: knows why. It's like you're a monster because you're dead, right,
Speaker 1: that's it. What's the mummies like? Skill?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Hands out, yeah, arms up, there's no seduction, has
Speaker 4: pain riddled elbows, all.
Speaker 1: That dusty fucking gauze around every limb Uh.
Speaker 4: He sinks there's always a cloud around him, like pig
Speaker 4: pen at a party.
Speaker 1: But it's sandy. It's getting in your eyes.
Speaker 4: It's just sand and toilet paper, the two terrible things
Speaker 4: to have in your butt crack.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's his whole body.
Speaker 1: It's that all the time combined.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Frankenstein was created with parts and is strong and
Speaker 4: good with kids.
Speaker 1: And that great blazer yeah perfect.
Speaker 4: Are they shoulder pads?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: I mean that's the one part of the body that
Speaker 4: came from a linebacker. Yeah. But what does the mummy do?
Speaker 1: The mummy represents the maybe like the ancient dead who
Speaker 1: are very irritated with everybody.
Speaker 4: Right, I yeah, you have to think of the mummy
Speaker 4: as like from a tomb and a pyramid, and then
Speaker 4: it's like, oh cool, this mummy has riches.
Speaker 5: I tried to look up what the mummy Mummy's powers
Speaker 5: are and the silly AI overview which I'm still trying
Speaker 5: to figure out how to disable on my phone. Can't
Speaker 5: this is in fiction because it's, you know, something that
Speaker 5: just came from fiction. The Mummy franchise. Mummies have powers
Speaker 5: such as controlling their bandages, reverting into a monstrous form,
Speaker 5: and regenerating. But the controlling their bandages.
Speaker 6: Is right when I guess that from I guess I've
Speaker 6: seen Have you seen where their arm falls off and
Speaker 6: they have like a strand of toilet paper hanging off,
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden they have a new arm.
Speaker 4: I guess I've seen that.
Speaker 1: Oh I was, I was interpreting as they just can
Speaker 1: wrap up what's left over very neatly, and that's they've
Speaker 1: controlled the bandage, right, I.
Speaker 4: Think that's the They're a lot like the invisible Man.
Speaker 3: You need it.
Speaker 4: There isn't really an arm there, but if they wrap it,
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, there's an arm, a ghost arm.
Speaker 1: I don't think controlling bandages is a good power, but
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just being judgmental.
Speaker 4: So yeah, they so they they'd like put their hands
Speaker 4: on their temples and make the gauze go uh oh,
Speaker 4: there's a fire in it. The gauze grabs a water
Speaker 4: pitcher and pours it out, or since.
Speaker 1: They're monsters, like it's they grab someone's ankle with the gauze.
Speaker 3: Oh right. They wouldn't help a tragic situation. They'd cause it.
Speaker 1: Or they'd kind of revel in it happening. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't help.
Speaker 4: But those arms outstretched, really all they would do is
Speaker 4: knock over drinks at a party.
Speaker 1: I mean that's truly. There's just the bo version of
Speaker 1: like anything, which is like, how scary are we talking?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: There, yeah, there, I do Okay, I now I want
Speaker 4: to have a really detailed Halloween party.
Speaker 1: They're really deeply researched. Yes, wait, why are we talking
Speaker 1: about this because monsters?
Speaker 3: Yes, I do not remember vampire shot.
Speaker 1: Oh right, wanting to be yes, living, yeah, vampire.
Speaker 4: There's a lot going on.
Speaker 3: They're small, hundreds of.
Speaker 1: Years, hundreds of years, sexiness, they're always attractive. People are
Speaker 1: always about them, so they're always getting it and they're
Speaker 1: kind of like, fine, I'm gonna add you to my army.
Speaker 1: It's really it feels very like worth it in terms
Speaker 1: of like, you know, they're around for a long time,
Speaker 1: but they can kind of get what they want well.
Speaker 4: Their account so it's like, oh, I have all this
Speaker 4: money and I just have people come to the house
Speaker 4: because I beckon them and every once in a while
Speaker 4: I suck on their neck bud employee for.
Speaker 1: Life when they're asleep.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, have you seen the notes? Fat? I did see.
Speaker 4: It's very I enjoyed it quite a bit. But it's
Speaker 4: that stars guard guy, the son of the of Robin
Speaker 4: Williams's friend in Goodwill Hunting.
Speaker 3: That guy has a you know, a team of sons.
Speaker 4: That are all good actors, but that guy, you know
Speaker 4: he's it because he went in and he did that
Speaker 4: googly eye thing where he's when I go up, they're like,
Speaker 4: you're hired. Well, you can't even tell it's him, but
Speaker 4: because of makeup and everything, but he is real spooky
Speaker 4: in subtle ways, very spooky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I very much liked it.
Speaker 1: My one note is that he spoke at the exact
Speaker 1: same pace the entire time.
Speaker 4: Oh really yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's when I said.
Speaker 3: Hey, oh yeah, let's kind of change this up a little, right,
Speaker 3: Oh you're I.
Speaker 4: I think I of course noticed that, But for some
Speaker 4: reason it was working for me really because it was
Speaker 4: just a weird choice and he committed to it. Like,
Speaker 4: sometimes it's true when someone's doing a weird thing and
Speaker 4: it bothers you at first, and then they just dig
Speaker 4: in and do it even more and more. You're like, uh,
Speaker 4: maybe I do like it. I get hypnotized by the
Speaker 4: poor choice.
Speaker 1: You wore me down, and now this seems brilliant.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, Yeah, that will happen.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of actors have done that to
Speaker 4: us all.
Speaker 1: I think that's very true, where you're just like, I
Speaker 1: don't need to fight this. I don't have the energy
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be being entertained. Let's get this over.
Speaker 4: Yes, right, yeah, I think Jim Carrey did that to
Speaker 4: a lot of people.
Speaker 3: They were resistant.
Speaker 4: My father did not like Adam Sandler at first, and
Speaker 4: then after a while he's like, these.
Speaker 3: Are my two favorite people.
Speaker 1: And I'm dad, but but Dad, are you counting me?
Speaker 4: But twenty years ago, when I enjoyed Billy Madison, you
Speaker 4: were furious with me.
Speaker 1: I told you that My dad told me Ron Lynch
Speaker 1: was his favorite comedian.
Speaker 3: Right, Oh does Ron Lynch know this?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, but I was like, you do know I'm
Speaker 1: a comedian, right, yeah, that's like every title painful.
Speaker 4: April Richardson went home, her mom would not stop talking
Speaker 4: about Steve Harvey.
Speaker 3: Yes, be your favorite comedian.
Speaker 1: Worship Steve harp Yeah, she's.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, you should have gotten into comedy, mom, I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the best.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was hard to argue. Of course, Ron
Speaker 1: Lynch is one of the best comics of all time,
Speaker 1: and especially those early days when I was in San
Speaker 1: Francisco and he was in Saris. He was like, it
Speaker 1: was truly like seeing a mermaid. He was just so
Speaker 1: different and cool and special and fucking hilarious. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: still don't want to hear it to your face that
Speaker 1: your dad's like, I don't even know what you do
Speaker 1: for a living. What I'm interested in is stand up
Speaker 1: comedy through the eyes of Ron Lynch.
Speaker 3: That's so great.
Speaker 4: All right, Well that's a testament. I mean, Ron Lynch
Speaker 4: is one of the first alt you know, he's been
Speaker 4: doing this forever, and I had the alternative comedy thing
Speaker 4: is not that's a phrase that isn't used anymore, but
Speaker 4: it means something to us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, he was in it.
Speaker 4: I knew him from like old Luisk, like way back
Speaker 4: when he made these short films sixteen millimeters sometimes silent
Speaker 4: films that weren't that jokey, they were just I was
Speaker 4: a fan of this DVD. Yeah, And of course when
Speaker 4: he came to Capsy and when no one knew who
Speaker 4: he was, he was in the small room, Jim Hamilton
Speaker 4: and I were like, we like your short films, and
Speaker 4: of course he is a dick, but I knew Ron
Speaker 4: Lynch was in a few of those, would like David
Speaker 4: Tell and other New York.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he's the one where it was like the
Speaker 1: Love Story, I think Laura Kitlinger was in it, but
Speaker 1: there's that scene where he's way down the hallway in
Speaker 1: the airport, and so I think Louis was the one
Speaker 1: that was in it. Whoever the or maybe it was
Speaker 1: Craig Anton. Whoever was in the foreground, was like near
Speaker 1: the camera, obviously ten feet away from the camera. Ron
Speaker 1: Lynch was walking behind him and was easily fifty yards away.
Speaker 1: And then at the end of the scene, like it's say,
Speaker 1: it's some Craig Anton and Laura talking to each other
Speaker 1: and then they walk away and then Craig Anton just
Speaker 1: standing there staring and way in the background. Ron Lynch
Speaker 1: has a heart attack and drops dead, but way down
Speaker 1: the hall. Yeah, and it is the funniest thing I've
Speaker 1: ever seen where I'm just like that is like it's
Speaker 1: just background where like at the very last second, the
Speaker 1: background actor has his own fucking moment and it's like,
Speaker 1: yoh no, now that guy's dead for no reason. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so brilliant.
Speaker 4: But you have to be watching. You have to really
Speaker 4: pay attention to see it. They don't shove it down
Speaker 4: your throat. Yeah. I when I met Ron Lanch and
Speaker 4: had moved here, I was like, I know you from
Speaker 4: these movies I like and.
Speaker 1: Now and you said it in that c Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Know you from these films. I admire my precious. I
Speaker 3: can use my guys to manipulate the world.
Speaker 4: That's not a mummy voice. That's the other thing about
Speaker 4: not Ted bey Labor this mummy business.
Speaker 3: He doesn't even talk. They don't have voices.
Speaker 4: He just makes like grumbling, mumbly sex sand noises, maybe
Speaker 4: we'll call it.
Speaker 3: I think that's sand.
Speaker 4: I think that's just from the Brendan Fraser franchise Frazier. Yeah,
Speaker 4: where it's a lot of sand.
Speaker 1: Involved sand and scorpions.
Speaker 4: Oh, don't get me started. You get well, if I
Speaker 4: told my scorpions story for the fifteenth time.
Speaker 3: I will not get it. You will not.
Speaker 1: It's your birthday. If this is how you want to
Speaker 1: spend your birthday, you can do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, celebrate fifty years of overtold stories.
Speaker 3: That's really what we all end up doing.
Speaker 1: That is what life is. Yeah, just telling the same
Speaker 1: story over and over and hoping you get away with it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just having a podcast really puts that tendency
Speaker 4: under a microscope. But when my growing up, when my
Speaker 4: dad would be tell a story, my sister and I
Speaker 4: would be like, well, you just pulled number fifty six
Speaker 4: or whatever, like each story had a number.
Speaker 3: Yep, sorry, Dad, if you're listening.
Speaker 1: Uh, oh, Jim, listen, Jim, Jim, come back.
Speaker 4: It's such a it's so weird that I find out
Speaker 4: we're related. Pat and Jim.
Speaker 1: Wow, Uncle Pat andam Jim.
Speaker 3: Kind of a tan house mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, with grandma's house in the back.
Speaker 3: Yep, Wow, yep, great Grandma Boris.
Speaker 4: She had her own holiday which was commemorated with a bench.
Speaker 4: Uh in Coronado what Uh? Yeah, I know your parents
Speaker 4: also lived in Coronado, California.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you know we would.
Speaker 4: Drive all the way down there, and my dad had
Speaker 4: all these cousins that looked like the beach boys, like
Speaker 4: Cocomo era beach boys.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Hawaiian.
Speaker 4: Shirts and blonde hair. I had these cousins that like
Speaker 4: surfed and skated, and I'm like, I'm related that person's
Speaker 4: name Fairbanks.
Speaker 3: It really validated.
Speaker 4: My Montana desire to be like surfey skater kids. Sure
Speaker 4: cool and it was the best memories were driving in
Speaker 4: the back of the usually not air conditioned car all
Speaker 4: the way from Montana down to the farthest southern reach
Speaker 4: of the United States, just riffing with my sister, you know,
Speaker 4: acting out song lyrics. I vividly remember certain coloring books
Speaker 4: and drawings and just early memories or on the road,
Speaker 4: which is why, for memory's sake, AARP wants you to
Speaker 4: do a lot of road trip.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're like, let's get you back out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just remembered when you were saying, like the coloring
Speaker 1: books and stuff like that. We went on a road
Speaker 1: trip once.
Speaker 3: Where did we go.
Speaker 1: I think it's we drove to Ashland to go to
Speaker 1: the Shakespeare Festival.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oregon is a lot about or Shakespeare going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and sir, I wonder what you're doing, wonder
Speaker 1: what you think you're doing and what you're going to do,
Speaker 1: because this isn't parking.
Speaker 4: He's shifting about. I think he poured something in his lap.
Speaker 4: And he's a guy on a stakeout. See he was
Speaker 4: spying on someone. They knocked out his.
Speaker 3: Tail light there, okay, all right, he's wearing a trench coat.
Speaker 1: Anyway, on this on this road trip, we had these
Speaker 1: books that had a pen that turned into orange highlighter
Speaker 1: when you put it in the book. So there was
Speaker 1: all these things of like filling out quizzes and it
Speaker 1: was just very specific where it's like this pen. It
Speaker 1: was like they were trying to convince you. There was
Speaker 1: like there was a magic element to the pen right right.
Speaker 1: The pen was like kind.
Speaker 3: Of was it disappearing ink or it's appearing ink.
Speaker 1: It was like a highlighter was the final effect. Oh,
Speaker 1: but in this book it kind of made it. It
Speaker 1: was like you've just filled out this quiz and now
Speaker 1: these are the docks that are filled and.
Speaker 3: Now god, I kind of remember that, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would appear right right, I Yeah, vivid memories
Speaker 4: of that my For some reason, this coloring book I
Speaker 4: remember was Kellogg's, a brand, Kellogg's Tony the Tiger coloring book.
Speaker 4: Vividly remember it like it was yesterday. Why do I
Speaker 4: remember that and not half the names of my partygoers?
Speaker 1: Because you saw it when you were younger and there
Speaker 1: was less stuff in your brain, so right, imprinted easier.
Speaker 4: I think that's true.
Speaker 3: I think it's also the reason.
Speaker 4: I think it's four distinct seasons.
Speaker 3: That make me remember early life more.
Speaker 4: But it's that it's that my brain has no clutter, right,
Speaker 4: I need to embrace the single season here in California
Speaker 4: seventy five.
Speaker 3: Today, I it is, it is and I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It feels clean like a cleansing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and real nice and chili like it.
Speaker 4: Is to don't I mean anyone else in the country,
Speaker 4: you would laugh in our faces.
Speaker 1: This is California weather talk, right, and I've been.
Speaker 4: I was just in Chicago. It was one degree. I
Speaker 4: walked through and get it, I know, but.
Speaker 1: You're not freezes in your nose. You can't look open
Speaker 1: your eyes because of the ice.
Speaker 3: I thought I had it all figured out.
Speaker 4: I walked from the airport to the nearest train station
Speaker 4: to go to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what's a seventeen minute walk? I can do that?
Speaker 3: By my nose.
Speaker 4: I didn't feel it for two days and the skin
Speaker 4: was peeling off it. I think I basically had frostbite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's the answer to your question.
Speaker 3: Right, I think I know now what had it?
Speaker 1: Do you think that that walk would be different if
Speaker 1: you had control of your own bandages?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Could you have changed the outcome anyway?
Speaker 4: I would have had it my bandage wrap around the
Speaker 4: bumper of a car and then ice skate on the ice.
Speaker 1: Under dip your gauze feet into a fountain. They freeze, right,
Speaker 1: they're your literal ice skates.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the mummy has tons of powers? How did
Speaker 3: I forget about all these?
Speaker 1: The real power that the mummy has is creativity, and
Speaker 1: then everything after that is gravy.
Speaker 3: Yeah for the mummy.
Speaker 4: And if you need Oh I wish I had something
Speaker 4: to ride on. The Mummy's there to give you a
Speaker 4: little post it note off top of his hand.
Speaker 1: How about a bandage to write on its heart? And
Speaker 1: it's going to break apart because I'm ancient and uh
Speaker 1: is their.
Speaker 4: Skin on it? Yes?
Speaker 3: That was my skin and life.
Speaker 1: Skin. You're lucky you have skin is the mummy voice.
Speaker 1: Suddenly he's got a very powerful voice.
Speaker 3: I love the idea of a mummy that's like, you
Speaker 3: should be lucky.
Speaker 1: Guilty in you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, all these at least you have a heart. Mine's
Speaker 4: nothing but a withered carcass because on the account that
Speaker 4: I'm dead.
Speaker 3: And all, Yes, I get it, Yes we get it.
Speaker 4: Mummy. Why did we invite him to the mash? Did
Speaker 4: you ever see why am I?
Speaker 3: Dough Boys podcast with Weiger?
Speaker 4: Nick Weiger's video for Funnier Die where it's the Monster
Speaker 4: Mash but he's singing about an orgy.
Speaker 1: No, it was the.
Speaker 4: Monster fuck and they fucked and they sucked and it
Speaker 4: was like everyone like in sexual positions. It because it
Speaker 4: was him doing it. And I know him to be
Speaker 4: a joke writer for a show I worked on, and
Speaker 4: all of his jokes were clean, and he's not. I
Speaker 4: never would even imagine him swearing when he made this
Speaker 4: video for Funnier Die or something, I yeah, very very
Speaker 4: much enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: If you're listening, that was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: Probably, Nick Wiger, if you're out there, you.
Speaker 3: Were great at writing jokes.
Speaker 1: And I think I believe I fellow followed Nick Weiger
Speaker 1: on Twitter back when it was still Twitter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that that it was a time like
Speaker 4: Bridger Wineger days of like that people got discovered on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Didn't he move here because of his Twitterer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you moved here or if
Speaker 1: you already lived here.
Speaker 4: Sure are one of the earliest episodes that Bridger was
Speaker 4: on he was talking about getting basically headhunted from Twitter.
Speaker 1: Huh, well, oh that's true. But I think he lived
Speaker 1: in la oh Okay. Yes. Jimmy Kimmel saw his his
Speaker 1: tweets and his jokes and his running He did this
Speaker 1: running thing about his volleyball team and was like, this
Speaker 1: is the funniest person.
Speaker 3: He like.
Speaker 1: He went viral basically for having an incredibly innovative mind
Speaker 1: and a very very good writing style, and he just
Speaker 1: basically like posted that way and showed people where It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: anybody could get on there and be like, here's a
Speaker 1: dick joke. I'm waiting at the bus stop, or but
Speaker 1: then he was just kind of like, here's my presentation, right.
Speaker 4: And said conversationally, I would not lower myself to deliver
Speaker 4: a dick joke around him or some crass I feel like,
Speaker 4: I'm I want I don't know. I do know that
Speaker 4: at the party, everyone kept coming up and saying how
Speaker 4: much I liked him, Like, yeah, yeah, It's something about
Speaker 4: his voice. I'm like, oh yeah, he's got like a
Speaker 4: there's a calm, everything's gonna be okay element to just
Speaker 4: his speaking voice.
Speaker 1: Yes, he also has kind of the vibe of like
Speaker 1: a rich, you know, upper class Connecticut housewife. We're always
Speaker 1: is like, oh, Karen, how are you. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of that to it, which feels ella and
Speaker 1: refined and like, you know, we're all doing something here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also wanted when I had my valure or no
Speaker 4: terry cloth cabana outfit. You know, I had some costume
Speaker 4: changes at the party, did you I really want Bridger
Speaker 4: to see the shorts that came with the shirt. I
Speaker 4: don't know why. I'm like, you will appreciate this. I
Speaker 4: don't know why, and he's like, but I very much do.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know why. I'm not just showing
Speaker 4: you my shorts because I feel like you would wear
Speaker 4: the short.
Speaker 3: I just want your approval, give it to me and
Speaker 3: I got it because I yelled.
Speaker 1: I yelled, as yep, that counts. That counts too. Did
Speaker 1: you notice his jacket, which is my favorite thing.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I did.
Speaker 1: It was like, so he and I figured out because
Speaker 1: he got it in Italy. But it looks like an American,
Speaker 1: like a varsity almost like a jacket from Indiana nineteen fifty, right,
Speaker 1: a varsity jacket, but with all the stitching on it.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, but wait, what school is that?
Speaker 1: And then we were looking at I go, this isn't
Speaker 1: from a specific school or college or place. This is
Speaker 1: like all of the names. It looked to me like
Speaker 1: was all stitching examples of like this one is cursive,
Speaker 1: this is block letters, this.
Speaker 3: Is this I do remember peripherally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like a silk bomber varsity jacket.
Speaker 4: It's just the best jacket, like a jacket James Dean
Speaker 4: would wear exactly outside of a cafe, ye looking grumpy
Speaker 4: and smoking cigarettes. Being a heart thobzob the old.
Speaker 1: Heart thob, a heart thob which is basically when you
Speaker 1: plug into the heart. Yeah, several different plugs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a throb but you can hear the
Speaker 4: beating noise.
Speaker 3: It's a heart thop.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, dive out now, don't do it when
Speaker 4: I say things that don't make sense.
Speaker 1: It's okay.
Speaker 3: Right at the overpath, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Now there's a seems like there's a lot of traffic.
Speaker 4: I wonder if James Deen would have remained because he
Speaker 4: put out like three or four movies, right, mm hmm,
Speaker 4: would he have remained popular?
Speaker 1: Absolutely? He was beautiful faced, right, and those movies are
Speaker 1: as far as I know.
Speaker 3: Right, he was.
Speaker 4: He was cause he was acting with a normal, normal
Speaker 4: speaking voice back whenever, and what's kind of talking like
Speaker 4: this and movies because that's how you had to right,
Speaker 4: And he was like, what if I just talked normal?
Speaker 4: I came and Brando did that?
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think he did it before Brando
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 4: Although but every photo of him wearing Bridger's jacket, he
Speaker 4: is just smoking outside of a pie shop, well smiling.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying he probably wouldn't have been nice to me.
Speaker 4: God rest his soul.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't you don't have to make it
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 4: I don't think it'd be nice to you.
Speaker 1: Yes, he would, oh care while.
Speaker 3: You had to make it about you, didn't you.
Speaker 4: Ooh, look we're in you're a old neighbor. Ooh, that's
Speaker 4: used to happen all the time.
Speaker 1: I really like this neighborhood. I'm glad I lived here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does have its own community feel.
Speaker 1: What's nice is being this close to You're in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles basically is Bourbank. It's over the hill, but the
Speaker 1: Burbank police are a present, all president and accounted for.
Speaker 1: You don't need to look for a cop in Burbank
Speaker 1: the way you do in La.
Speaker 4: Really and that that brings you comfort, but probably not
Speaker 4: if you're a teenager.
Speaker 1: Uh. It brought me comfort as a single lady living
Speaker 1: right over there where it was like if I called
Speaker 1: NIMA one, they would literally be here in probably ninety seconds,
Speaker 1: as opposed to you don't call NIMA one in the city.
Speaker 4: Of miss angel And if you do, be prepared to
Speaker 4: say yes when they say, isn't there an injury? Are
Speaker 4: you bleeding? Is your leg broken? Anything? Car wreck?
Speaker 3: Just say yes, because they otherwise aren't.
Speaker 1: They're too busy, right, But then if you say yes
Speaker 1: and you don't have that, they'll just go right.
Speaker 4: Yet we're basically speaking the lyrics from the Public Enemy song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, and we're in the whitest way we
Speaker 1: possibly can.
Speaker 3: I called nine one one a long time ago, don't
Speaker 3: you see. I'll wait, they're reacting.
Speaker 1: You realize we're being humorous about nine to one one,
Speaker 1: because that's the way it is in this area.
Speaker 3: It is that was in a rough cut of the song.
Speaker 3: It didn't didn't run.
Speaker 1: They were like, let's take that again.
Speaker 4: This is this the last Big Boy?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's probably one of the.
Speaker 4: Last who had a joke about rust coming out of
Speaker 4: the Big Boy statues.
Speaker 3: But someone did, did they? Who is it?
Speaker 1: Jimmy Pardo?
Speaker 4: I know I'm presenting this like trivia, but it's trivia
Speaker 4: that I don't know the answer to.
Speaker 1: It's true trivia questions, literally, trivia questions.
Speaker 3: They have no answer, So it's the for It's just trivial.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is like was it Henry Phillips? Boy,
Speaker 3: that's a good guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also at my party, was he there?
Speaker 1: I didn't see him for a.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people and I appreciated this
Speaker 4: even more not to keep boasting about my gala, but
Speaker 4: when they just showed up for like, I'm just here,
Speaker 4: I'm on my way to a show. I can't stay long.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to say hello, which means they parked
Speaker 4: on their way to the comedy store or something, just
Speaker 4: came in for ten minutes, yeah, and then had to
Speaker 4: go nice.
Speaker 3: That's what.
Speaker 4: Thune did. A lot of people were like, just stop by,
Speaker 4: which meant so much. And a lot of people I
Speaker 4: invited did not reply, maybe because they already got an
Speaker 4: email or something for the party app which did let
Speaker 4: you know who's going, which is kind of cool. Ooh,
Speaker 4: I'll wear something that personal life.
Speaker 3: You know you do that?
Speaker 1: Sure you dressed to the people at the party.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, of course, that's what everyone does. I had
Speaker 4: an outfit ready for each guest.
Speaker 3: Just didn't have enough time keep them all happy.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it it when someone didn't reply hey I'll
Speaker 4: be there, or even or anything. They didn't let any
Speaker 4: cat out of a bag. They just showed up.
Speaker 3: And then it was even many even more. But you
Speaker 3: didn't reply to the text.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want you to be on the edge of
Speaker 4: your seat and now I'm here.
Speaker 1: Big revealed. Can you think of anyone specifically who did
Speaker 1: that that you were so excited to see?
Speaker 4: Oh man, look at.
Speaker 1: That Russian over there on the corner.
Speaker 3: Oh top hat killer.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, with the flak jacket, military boots looking yeah
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, what are you up.
Speaker 4: To waiting for a flood? You drive d I actually
Speaker 4: rolled down the window. He's coming on the bike. I
Speaker 4: missed the old days of people chasing us.
Speaker 1: We'll get we'll get back there, yeah soon.
Speaker 4: I just I didn't know how to roll down the window.
Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna scream at everyone. It'll be great for podcasts.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it's uh, there's a there's a lot of
Speaker 4: spies around here. It's the point I.
Speaker 1: Want you to tell me though, since I only saw
Speaker 1: the people that walked by me on my terraced level,
Speaker 1: who else was there? Like? Who wasn't that upper deck
Speaker 1: when I got there, when you were on the stairs
Speaker 1: and I gave you a box of olives?
Speaker 4: Oh right? And I came down from It was kind
Speaker 4: of designated as the karaoke area, but it was more
Speaker 4: of a lounge situation. That was where a lot of
Speaker 4: my my skater pals. Oddly, a lot of the guys
Speaker 4: I skate with went on a river trip coincidentally with
Speaker 4: Brooks Wheelan and some of their comedy friends. That's the
Speaker 4: kind of odd connections I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: But my buddies that skate all were for like three weeks.
Speaker 4: They got one of those lottery things for the Columbia River,
Speaker 4: I believe, or the Colorado River.
Speaker 3: It's a sea river, okay, but it's.
Speaker 4: Weeks on the river something I don't think I am.
Speaker 4: You know, I just got my first pocket knife. I'm
Speaker 4: not ready. But they were on a river trip, so
Speaker 4: a lot of them weren't there, but friends associated with
Speaker 4: that group. We're up there with a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of Nevis.
Speaker 4: And they didn't reply to anything. I would like a
Speaker 4: surprise group of people that bearing gifts.
Speaker 3: I have not received gifts.
Speaker 4: The short answer is I can't think of anyone that
Speaker 4: didn't reply. And then they showed up.
Speaker 1: Wasn't the question?
Speaker 3: Or yeah, and I want to drop the.
Speaker 1: Names, Well, but I don't. I'm talking about that deck
Speaker 1: that was in front of us, not the not the
Speaker 1: upper that.
Speaker 4: Was okay, yeah, ah, that was just a gauntlet of
Speaker 4: people and I as I walked through, they'd.
Speaker 1: Pat my back, So freeze for a moment, uh, look
Speaker 1: around in your mind's eye and the memory of that, yes,
Speaker 1: and just start naming names, so I know it was
Speaker 1: up there. I didn't get to see anybody, okay, like
Speaker 1: you go, Henry Phillips was there or I don't know.
Speaker 1: Somebody was like, oh, so and so is up there,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't want to go up
Speaker 1: there because then night I would then have to come back. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm just staying where I am.
Speaker 4: I don't remember specifically who stood up on the decks. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's all a blur. I wish I did. The only
Speaker 4: concern I had was should fifty something people be standing
Speaker 4: on this day? But my buddy Justin, who's a builds
Speaker 4: houses and a carpenter, He's like, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: And then he saw how the deck's joists went into
Speaker 4: and attached with many many bolts into the house, and
Speaker 4: he's like, oh, yeah, you can park a car up there.
Speaker 3: So I just kept repeating that in my head. But
Speaker 3: even while people were up.
Speaker 4: There, they were saying things like can this hold us?
Speaker 4: And I just was like, yep, but there's no basis in.
Speaker 1: That knowledge until Justin spoke.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was, but that was at the beginning of
Speaker 4: the party. He did say, yes, it'll be fine. But
Speaker 4: still so many people on a deck high up. Need
Speaker 4: we remember the pool seen from It's a Wonderful.
Speaker 1: Life, or any number of news stories that we write
Speaker 1: seen over the years of college party.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a well built deck.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, well I think it proved itself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Sooner made that deck.
Speaker 1: She made it and she made it solid. She that
Speaker 1: was just party tested.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It's that first major test. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: was a lot of people. It was to be up there,
Speaker 4: and the beverages. I mean there was a lot of
Speaker 4: weight up there. That's where everything was being stored. I
Speaker 4: just know, realize, like gallons and gallons of beverages. Oh man,
Speaker 4: I'm back to being nervous about it. But nothing happens.
Speaker 4: So no, But why be nervous about the past.
Speaker 1: Don't look back.
Speaker 3: But it was all a success, that's right. I still
Speaker 3: have two thirds of my life to live, if not.
Speaker 1: More and more if you get a gauze.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh god, if we're talking gods, yeah, I'm a
Speaker 4: baby baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's true. You better start making four years more plans.
Speaker 3: Someone bite my neck, Someone bite my neck.
Speaker 4: Remember when I was chanting that you want to live longer?
Speaker 1: Did you chant that at your own party.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I had some really weird outbursts.
Speaker 3: Come to think of it, you.
Speaker 1: Gotta be careful when you're baiting vampires, like, yeah.
Speaker 3: I just want them to exist.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: What's the drawback again of vampires?
Speaker 4: You have to live in a drafty house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your friends die, you know, Oh yeah, you just
Speaker 1: kind of your interaction is usually very you know, you're
Speaker 1: using people all the time, kind of like everyone is
Speaker 1: just a means to an end to you.
Speaker 4: Yes, a bad plan, you're right, But of course the
Speaker 4: drawback is everyone you meet, you're going to if you
Speaker 4: like them, you have to kill them so they keep
Speaker 4: hanging around, right and you also, even if if you
Speaker 4: don't like them, you're eating them just for blood sport literally,
Speaker 4: so it's just carnage for food. Yeah, it would be terrible,
Speaker 4: I think. So you could not. You would have to
Speaker 4: live your life like well, nothing can mean anything.
Speaker 1: But then, just as a counter argument to that, you
Speaker 1: would be hot, because I do think vampires are kind
Speaker 1: of like but by the book, by.
Speaker 4: The rule book hot, Yeah, they look like Brad Pitt.
Speaker 4: They look like Tom Cruise, who technically.
Speaker 1: Is not hot but has made it work through scientilicgy.
Speaker 4: I think you need to rewatch all the right moves
Speaker 4: because he's got him he does.
Speaker 1: That's when his teeth were like crossed. They were like
Speaker 1: little cross legs in front.
Speaker 3: Of his mouth. Yeah, back when he had summer teeth. Yeah,
Speaker 3: are pointing this way, summer pointing that.
Speaker 4: I've said that before, but it's worth repeating, even on
Speaker 4: a podcast, as.
Speaker 1: Long as you're enjoying yourself. It's your birthday party.
