Speaker 1: Are you leaving? I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 2: Either way, we want to be there, doesn't matter how
Speaker 2: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 2: terminol and gay.
Speaker 1: We want to send you off in style.
Speaker 2: You wanna welcome you back home?
Speaker 1: Tell us all about it.
Speaker 2: We scared her? Was it fine? Malcorn? Do you need
Speaker 2: to ride? Do you need to ride? Do you need
Speaker 2: to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need with Karen and Chris welcome to Do
Speaker 1: you need a ride?
Speaker 2: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgera.
Speaker 1: Hello. I feel like it's been twenty four hours since
Speaker 1: I've seen you.
Speaker 2: Care it has been less than two four hr. I
Speaker 2: was trying to be cute. Sorry it didn't work. I
Speaker 2: doubt that was adorbs. What's your favorite slang these days? Chris?
Speaker 1: I like, I'd just like to abbreathe pretty much? Any word?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Any agree? I'm being totally sarcastic. I don't. I have
Speaker 1: a problem with abbreviating words, especially when the abbreviation is.
Speaker 2: Like the same syllables, where it's not really saving time.
Speaker 2: There's not an efficiency element happening.
Speaker 1: For instance, there's a bar near my house called Little Joy.
Speaker 1: Pretty easy to say Little Joy. A lot of people
Speaker 1: call it LJ. I think that that's the same amount
Speaker 1: of effort, really, pound for pound.
Speaker 2: Don't you agree, Let's let's have a couple of minutes
Speaker 2: of silence.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have the same feeling where I think it doesn't
Speaker 2: make matter or anything. But I do observe a lot
Speaker 2: of people putting a ton of effort. It seems into
Speaker 2: thinking of stuff like that when I don't get the
Speaker 2: benefit of it. Although except for the benefit of sometimes
Speaker 2: if you feel maybe you are a deep down nerd
Speaker 2: growing up that suddenly this is a thing that makes
Speaker 2: you feel cool, So it's like a self soothing mechanism.
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, yeah, like, uh, you know, are are on
Speaker 1: her someone that actually says lol, which is actually harder
Speaker 1: to say than laugh out loud.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'd have to consult with a linguist, but
Speaker 1: lol is actually difficult. That's the ol. Lol is a
Speaker 1: tongue twister.
Speaker 2: Did you hear the There was a there was a
Speaker 2: like a grandma type that thought lol meant lots of love?
Speaker 2: So on Facebook when Facebook came out, so there would
Speaker 2: be like a post about someone who died, and she
Speaker 2: would go thinking of you lol and would put lol
Speaker 2: on everything. Oh my, inappropriately, it's the best.
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, that makes me want to cry. Everything does
Speaker 1: these days, Chris, Are you okay? Oh, it's just I
Speaker 1: keep thinking about all the lots of laughs I have
Speaker 1: after someone passes.
Speaker 4: It just gotten to me.
Speaker 2: It does make you feel good about.
Speaker 1: At funerals, it's me chuckling in the corner, giggling. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't stop.
Speaker 2: The one time at a funeral, it was a Catholic Mass,
Speaker 2: and then we came back from receiving the Eucharist at
Speaker 2: Communion and you have to go kneel in your pew
Speaker 2: and think about what a bad person you are. And
Speaker 2: so me and my sister went back, and my dad
Speaker 2: was already in the pew and he was kneeling, so
Speaker 2: his pant leg was pulled up, and he was wearing
Speaker 2: a pair of socks that said I'm sixty with an
Speaker 2: exclamation point, and my sister and I could not help playing.
Speaker 2: It was like at the height of the most serious,
Speaker 2: quiet part of the funeral.
Speaker 1: And he was probably getting mad, and it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's your fault. Funny socks.
Speaker 2: You put on the most hilarious socks you could find
Speaker 2: for this funeral, sir, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You're showing them off almost on purpose. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: for today's guest.
Speaker 2: I am too.
Speaker 1: Not only does he make me laugh pretty effortlessly, he's
Speaker 1: someone I haven't seen for a long time, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the last time I saw him, because maybe
Speaker 1: there's a story there, let's hope. So thank you.
Speaker 2: Clubs and colleges all over.
Speaker 1: So many colleges, a lot of clubs and colleges, lots
Speaker 1: of them. And uh and you you know him as
Speaker 1: an actor as well. Put your hands together at home,
Speaker 1: clap alone for Josh Batam please who Josh.

Speaker 1: even if there weren't a lot of yucks in there,
Speaker 1: there was yuck potential.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was yucks and yuck potential.

Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 4: I was rolling on the floor loving.

Speaker 1: Chris looked like a young Mike Patten from Faith No.
Speaker 4: More, oh I do. I always thought he was handsome,
Speaker 4: very handy. Is he known for being handsome?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: I always thought he was handsome.
Speaker 3: Even with the first video epic, the epic video, which
Speaker 3: there's a slang word I don't use in the connotation
Speaker 3: they used.
Speaker 4: They you know, I don't call things epic in that way.
Speaker 3: No, never have, No, I don't think I I don't
Speaker 3: if I have. It wasn't when it started catching on
Speaker 3: in the way that it's now caught on and probably
Speaker 3: coming gone right, you know what I mean? Like that
Speaker 3: was an epic thing or that's so epic, or what
Speaker 3: an epic fail?
Speaker 4: Or whatever? Yes, I would I wouldn't use that.
Speaker 1: It was very overused in the snowboard community to describe
Speaker 1: the quality of snow right, epo, oh how was it today?
Speaker 4: Up there?
Speaker 1: It was epic? And I I lived in a community
Speaker 1: where I would cringe every time I heard it, and
Speaker 1: then pretty soon, wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 3: I started saying epic. Oh, I know when that happens
Speaker 3: and you feel like, what have I become?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that's when I moved away and became a comedian.
Speaker 2: You had to move away from the language of the area.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad, and now look what I've become.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was just going to say, maybe this
Speaker 2: is what you're going to say, is there? Were you
Speaker 2: going to say that that you do have a piece
Speaker 2: of slang that you like to use.
Speaker 4: It is a tough one and I may not know
Speaker 4: it until it comes out.
Speaker 3: It might come out organically, but it did really but
Speaker 3: and you know, I do, I do steer clear of
Speaker 3: using the modern slang that went, you know, whatever's online
Speaker 3: or whatever I'm hearing, And if I start to notice
Speaker 3: that it's gets set, something gets set a lot.
Speaker 4: I start to resent it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means if I'm just older,
Speaker 3: or why I start maybe because it's.
Speaker 4: Like the equivalent of like water cooler humor or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just and I really hate on a television
Speaker 3: show when there's like a young character or a quirky
Speaker 3: character and they try to plug stale terms like got
Speaker 3: like a character goes I'm tots.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Hashtags.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and these are supposed to be substitutions for
Speaker 3: interesting character or a funny character or whatever. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm totes freaking out over here or whatever whatever someone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that a really fun version of noticing
Speaker 1: when how out of touch they that show, Uh Saved
Speaker 1: by the Bell was, because clearly you're realizing it's being
Speaker 1: written by a bunch of old white guys in a
Speaker 1: writing room, and they're writing for high school kids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so all the slang is like, oh that that
Speaker 1: kid's a good egg or whatever. It's something that kids
Speaker 1: didn't say in the eighties. But it's just a room
Speaker 1: of dudes with catheters writing.
Speaker 3: I'm just gee, golly, I'm not so peachy after all.
Speaker 1: Exactly, just leave it to beaver language.
Speaker 3: Oh I had a I did think of a thing
Speaker 3: something you said about Oh, whenever I said what have
Speaker 3: I become? I I thought, I have a joke that
Speaker 3: I make to if I'm ever visiting a friend and
Speaker 3: they've got kids, you know what I mean, especially in Oklahoma,
Speaker 3: because it's where I like, if I see someone like
Speaker 3: my friend Rob has a.
Speaker 4: Son named Harvey, and if I when.
Speaker 3: I met Harvey or were I'm dinner at his house
Speaker 3: and Harvey's running around every time he passed by, I go, hey, Harvey,
Speaker 3: my name's Josh. I'm friends with your diet, which is like,
Speaker 3: you know, I just remember. I feel like someone always said, hey.
Speaker 1: Are you Bruce's son?
Speaker 4: My name so and so I'm friends with your diet.
Speaker 3: And uh, and I was a friend of mine, like
Speaker 3: last year's name. His name's Chris, and he has son
Speaker 3: named Miles. Oh, this is my Hi Miles, I'm Josh.
Speaker 4: I'm friend with your diad and did the joke again.
Speaker 3: And then oh, about a week later, I was at
Speaker 3: the park, uh, walking my dog and there was a playground.
Speaker 3: The park's connected to a school playground, and I see
Speaker 3: it was kind of familiar, and he's still looking at me,
Speaker 3: like that guy was kind of familiar, and I realized, oh,
Speaker 3: is that Chrismas son.
Speaker 1: I said, hey, are you Chris's son?
Speaker 3: And he nods yes to go, oh, I'm Josh, I'm
Speaker 3: friends with your dad.
Speaker 4: And then I stopped and said, oh.
Speaker 1: My god, you organically stay I became the character.
Speaker 4: Yes, I became the character.
Speaker 2: That you mocked.
Speaker 3: See it now, Now I understood all those men who
Speaker 3: said I'm friends with your dad what they were going through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a way of saying, I'm not a pedophile.
Speaker 3: And my friends with your dad. No fucked eye contact.
Speaker 3: But this was only because you remind me of a
Speaker 3: friend of mine.
Speaker 1: No funny business.
Speaker 4: I have a dog which I do not want you
Speaker 4: to pet.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, stay away.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In the eighties, you had to kind of explain yourself,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, yeah, around you just everyone was being kidnapped.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to say, I just want you
Speaker 1: to know I know your parents.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then but then the kidnappers use that line. I'm
Speaker 3: sure too, Yeah, exactly right, that's right. All they had
Speaker 3: to say is I know your parents, Brad and Linda,
Speaker 3: and they were pretty likely to get the name.
Speaker 4: You know, get some parents' names, right.
Speaker 1: I was on the cover of the local paper because
Speaker 1: I would walk kids to school, because I had a
Speaker 1: stop sign so I could walk myself to school. And
Speaker 1: then they started bringing me to a daycare before kiddergarten.
Speaker 1: So a photographer for the newspaper multiple times put me
Speaker 1: in the paper. And this is like an eighties thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they did it. They literally put
Speaker 1: Chris Fairbanks walks his friend to school. His parents are
Speaker 1: named Land and Jim, and he lives at one oh
Speaker 1: five Kensington Avenue, like they put my address, they put
Speaker 1: my parents' name, they put everything you need to lure me,
Speaker 1: and I don't know. It's to this day, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't figure out why they would do that. And
Speaker 1: I've been meaning to go get it, go to the
Speaker 1: library and find that on the Microfilmiche yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta prove it. I gotta prove that
Speaker 1: that was the caption.
Speaker 3: Well, if you did, I hope we can steer the
Speaker 3: conversation in a different direction. But I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: if you did tragically get abused in some way and
Speaker 3: you're looking for a settlement, I think you have someone
Speaker 3: to uh sue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would have got a case with this microphone.
Speaker 4: Here is the evidence.
Speaker 3: They put you in the firing line of the perverts
Speaker 3: and you want to collect.
Speaker 1: It's funny, but it's a grievance I have. That happened
Speaker 1: in my forties, and I still want to blame that article.
Speaker 4: I was walking that same round.
Speaker 1: If it weren't for this, I would have nailed that
Speaker 1: audition for the office.
Speaker 2: Yeah, son of a Bitch paper Yeah, oh gosh, uh.
Speaker 1: You Yeah, my my favorite thing, Josh, that you've done.
Speaker 1: I really like you on Better Call Saul, But thank
Speaker 1: you the Liz Lemon's what were you like her agent or.
Speaker 4: Some Simon was the character's name. He was a pety
Speaker 4: dog agent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were so funny on that because on that
Speaker 1: you were a version of yourself. On Better Call Saul,
Speaker 1: you're totally different than who you are. You're like a
Speaker 1: cool aloof guy.
Speaker 4: But he's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 4: Well, he's like.

Speaker 1: good actor because you're being someone that I don't.
Speaker 5: Know you to be.
Speaker 2: You do have range range.
Speaker 4: Look at it's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you're said because about acting.
Speaker 4: You know, really you're interacting. You were using no.
Speaker 3: Matter what you're playing, you're using a piece of yourself
Speaker 3: to play so you know that character doesn't exist somewhere
Speaker 3: inside you know, me, somewhere.
Speaker 4: I'm sure I wouldn't take it.
Speaker 3: Out on a daily basis, but you know there is
Speaker 3: a piece of meeting there somewhere.
Speaker 2: You know, the faces of Josh, We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: You know, when you know you're listening to like Terry Grosser,
Speaker 3: Elvis Mitchell and when they get real uh.
Speaker 1: You know, serious, and they right right. Thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting because and then asked a question like, so,
Speaker 3: but don't you.
Speaker 5: Think that there's a possibility that about the in the
Speaker 5: album when the album came out, because your first book
Speaker 5: and when it was publish blah blah blah. But isn't
Speaker 5: it possible that blah blah blah question one way of
Speaker 5: looking at it.
Speaker 4: Well, yes and no. They do that a lot.
Speaker 2: Deep talks.
Speaker 3: They go, well, yeah, yes, and it is isn't it isn't.
Speaker 1: This isn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, means it isn't. Yes, this is this isn't. Actually,
Speaker 4: but thank you for that question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything else perfectly enunciated, except.
Speaker 4: As it isn't. This is this isn't.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you asked that because this isn't. Sorry,
Speaker 1: and I am as these says, is this these says
Speaker 1: it isn't. He's a good friend. Yeah, I like to
Speaker 1: bring him.
Speaker 4: He said it isn't, but it is, you know, yes
Speaker 4: and no.
Speaker 2: Does that answer your question, Terry?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Terry gives me Terry gross.
Speaker 3: She's one of those people I don't want to know
Speaker 3: what she looks like, and if someone shows me a picture,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't want to know.
Speaker 4: I like coming up with it myself.
Speaker 2: You know what, what do you picture her to look?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a little lady with like, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of like oh, either like either a either a Bob
Speaker 3: haircut or a George Clooney George Clooney er when he
Speaker 3: had the Caesar haircut.
Speaker 1: Angular haircut.
Speaker 3: You're actually very close, you think, so maybe she's got glasses. Yep, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe she's recently. You know, maybe when you saw her
Speaker 3: at one point when she was younger, she had a
Speaker 3: kind of a oh you know, like a dirty blonde
Speaker 3: colored hair.
Speaker 4: But now she's gone totally gray.
Speaker 3: And you're like, oh, Terry went totally gray since I've
Speaker 3: seen her last.
Speaker 1: Because because it looks more intellectual, right right, Yes, of course,
Speaker 1: Terry is not a dier. She's not going to die.
Speaker 2: No, no way, no way, especially not in quarantine.
Speaker 1: But if you want someone to take you seriously with
Speaker 1: what you're saying, it's best to let your hair go gray.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh I'm going I got a little bit of gray.
Speaker 1: And I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got like a one or two, you know,
Speaker 3: I love them.
Speaker 2: I don't I have all gray. I have to dye
Speaker 2: my hair every three weeks and I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: love it. But this is the difference between men and women,
Speaker 2: and I wanted to bring this up at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Sure we can cut in just to introduce the premise.
Speaker 2: We'll cut it back.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're just starting now, beginning of the conversation.
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, Karen, you had somethings for coming to
Speaker 3: my show. Now you had something to say about gray
Speaker 3: hair going.
Speaker 2: Men and women.
Speaker 4: Different, they're different. But how they different?
Speaker 2: Different hair, different cares.
Speaker 3: That interesting, different haircuts, different different haircares, big cares different
Speaker 3: about their hair, kids different.
Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to talk topic.
Speaker 1: Top topic. You know where men and women aren't different anymore?
Speaker 1: The world of soccer. Did you see today?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Hey, no professional soccer's prize money. It's a start. It's
Speaker 1: a start, and it's started with soccer.
Speaker 2: It's a positive. It's true in a negative time. It's
Speaker 2: a huge positive.
Speaker 3: Women's soccer league will make the same amount of money
Speaker 3: as the men's soccer league.
Speaker 4: Is what you said?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so do soccer players.
Speaker 4: They're not, they're not. They all get paid the same.
Speaker 2: I wonder, I wonder there's there's no like executive producer.
Speaker 2: There's more a consulting producer.
Speaker 1: I bet soccer player, a goalie makes more than like
Speaker 1: a left a full back. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a position. I don't have fake soccer talk, nor do I.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a good you know when the
Speaker 3: improvisers they come up with the fake ones, Oh we
Speaker 3: love it when they do that.
Speaker 2: God, some of them are just so knowledgeable about every
Speaker 2: single thing in detail where they can snap right into
Speaker 2: like a soccer bit.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, can't.
Speaker 4: I can't do it. I can't even do a fake one.
Speaker 3: But sometimes the funny improvisers, they they don't know about it,
Speaker 3: but they just got a good, you know, jargon they
Speaker 3: go they tap into the jargon talk real good.
Speaker 1: Yeah you do that. You see me do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: where you confidently bullshit and and people if they're watching,
Speaker 1: they're like, I think he knows exactly what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: Or you're just rolling with it.
Speaker 4: Baby, I've seen you do it.
Speaker 1: I've seen you. I've admire you do it.
Speaker 4: Karen, I've seen you do it.
Speaker 2: Have you this is the best?
Speaker 3: I guess it's probably you know, sometimes you got it
Speaker 3: and sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. It's based on the night, it's based
Speaker 2: on the drive over, It's based on your bet, your experience,
Speaker 2: how comfortable you feel. Here's what I think. It's interesting
Speaker 2: improv And Josh, have you done both improv and stand
Speaker 2: up comedy?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, do you find and it's just improv is easier
Speaker 2: because there's more help, there's more support, and there's more
Speaker 2: acceptance of whatever's happening. Yeah, there's a post stand up
Speaker 2: comedy where you have to do it right every fifteen
Speaker 2: seconds or you're failing.
Speaker 1: Right, and the audience will the animosity I think because
Speaker 1: we talked about this with Mary Holland, I feel like
Speaker 1: the reason I started to have animosity towards improv is
Speaker 1: the audience was always on their side right and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't care that that didn't work. They're just making
Speaker 1: it up. But the minute someone doesn't like your stand up,
Speaker 1: they cross their arms and they actually want to fight you. Yeah, Ryan,
Speaker 1: I don't see that with bad improv, Like I don't
Speaker 1: see people boo.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I remember.
Speaker 3: I remember, like when I did the Groundlings, and every
Speaker 3: class it was like, you know, let's they give a
Speaker 3: base applause for the scene to begin, so you're walking
Speaker 3: in on you know, you're walking in on a heavenly
Speaker 3: you know. Even in let the classes okay, okay, good
Speaker 3: and yeah, okay go, you know, and the the shows
Speaker 3: were like that too, And I guess it probably was
Speaker 3: the same at the UCB improv shows, which I didn't
Speaker 3: do a lot of improv there.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I agree, I guess. I mean sometimes with
Speaker 3: stand up though, I guess it's just it's case by case,
Speaker 3: you know. Sometimes it's like wow, I'm on stage, can
Speaker 3: do no wrong, and then it's on stage like hey,
Speaker 3: I'm doing all wrong.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like oh I lost him, Oh I got
Speaker 3: to work hard to get them back, or and I
Speaker 3: but I've also done improv where it's like wow, I
Speaker 3: have no idea how to hook into what you know
Speaker 3: if it if you're in like I don't know, stale
Speaker 3: improv mode, you're like, I don't know how to add
Speaker 3: on to what they're saying.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I forgot the rules,
Speaker 1: I forgot the tools. That was his idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let him go with that question about comedy. I'll
Speaker 3: only talk about failing.
Speaker 2: That's what sticks in your mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you ever? I don't call any money.
Speaker 4: I've been bad.
Speaker 2: I can't take it.
Speaker 4: I can't take the compliment. I've got to pooh pooh them.
Speaker 3: Don't comment me too hard because I've been bad before.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, I've seen you do stand up where you
Speaker 1: are making it all up and maybe there's a few
Speaker 1: jokes in there, but you are just flying and in
Speaker 1: a way that I haven't seen a lot of people
Speaker 1: do where you were actually making it all up like
Speaker 1: you're when you did those whole shows where you're just
Speaker 1: falling down. For first of all, I thought at some
Speaker 1: point you would have had to have gotten injured. Huh,
Speaker 1: did you ever see Karen? Did you see Josh Stewit's
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of falling down.
Speaker 2: I never saw thirty minutes. I've seen videos of him
Speaker 2: fall down, and I've seen it live shows.
Speaker 1: Right right, there's a time where you're cleaning that video
Speaker 1: where you're cleaning up in the park and you roll
Speaker 1: down the hill and stop at a tree trash can
Speaker 1: and then immediately start cleaning up again. But the but
Speaker 1: the let me tell you about the things you've done.
Speaker 1: Jobs one time makes you feel like special. The show
Speaker 1: you where you get tangled and people.
Speaker 4: Are listening and they don't know it, they better go
Speaker 4: check it out.
Speaker 2: They can check it out.
Speaker 1: Josh fatim fa d em YouTube. But I always thought
Speaker 1: you had to have gotten injured at some point wrestling
Speaker 1: with a stool and a mic stands in the cord
Speaker 1: with how bad I knew it. I didn't even know this,
Speaker 1: but I knew the deeds.
Speaker 3: I broke my wrist twice twice, yeah one.
Speaker 4: I did it in twenty fourteen, real bad.
Speaker 3: I had to have surgery, and then in twenty nine
Speaker 3: and then I kind of slowed down doing so much
Speaker 3: of that because I would just do it recklessly always.
Speaker 3: And then twenty nineteen I was doing a longer show
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm on fire. It's going great.
Speaker 3: I could do no wrong. Might as well throw in
Speaker 3: some of that. I didn't do a lot of that
Speaker 3: physical shtick at this show. Might as well throwing Oh,
Speaker 3: I bet I can go nuts in the I'm feeling them.
Speaker 4: And then I did something.
Speaker 3: And then I slapped my arm on the ground strangely,
Speaker 3: and I was like, it didn't hurt real bad. Something
Speaker 3: felt weird and I could feel in my you know,
Speaker 3: pinky and indeck or pinky and ring fingers, like something
Speaker 3: seems strange. And then and then it was mostly fine.
Speaker 3: But by the end of the night when I got home,
Speaker 3: I couldn't straighten my arm out.
Speaker 4: And then and then I think I.
Speaker 3: After eventually went to the doctor and he said, I
Speaker 3: think you broke your radial neck, which is I guess
Speaker 3: the part of the arm. But they call it, yeah,
Speaker 3: they called there's a it's right. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is airing or you know, if you could have
Speaker 3: to describe it the part of the arm that's near
Speaker 3: the elbow or something. I think I snapped. I think
Speaker 3: because of the first break. Probably it made a different
Speaker 3: part of the arm susceptible. I mean it was in
Speaker 3: a major I didn't have to do anything except for
Speaker 3: physical therapy for the second one. But the big one was,
Speaker 3: you know, twenty fourteen, I was a show at UCB,
Speaker 3: and I remember I felt like the audience was kind
Speaker 3: of stiff, and I was like, it's you know, I
Speaker 3: was like, oh. As soon as I walked out, I go, oh,
Speaker 3: this is kind of a dud, and so I started
Speaker 3: saying something and then I just I think I just
Speaker 3: tossed my body in a really reckless way with my
Speaker 3: feet in the air and landed and I'm not sure
Speaker 3: how I landed, but I like felt the oh shoot,
Speaker 3: you know which the audience four different ways.
Speaker 1: Did they see your wrist?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went, I went, oh.
Speaker 3: Well, first, before I even looked at it, I said, oh,
Speaker 3: I think I broke my wrist, and then the audience.
Speaker 4: Went ha ha. That's I was going to ask.
Speaker 1: Did they laugh at you while your bone was?
Speaker 3: They laughed that, And then I looked and then I
Speaker 3: saw the bone like not, you know, protruding.
Speaker 4: I said, oh, that's not what the risk is supposed
Speaker 4: to look like.
Speaker 3: And then I said, oh, I really broke it, and
Speaker 3: then they went oh, And then.
Speaker 4: It was it was I also had this like.
Speaker 3: You know, the built in comedian, you know, thing of commitment,
Speaker 3: thing of like show must go on.
Speaker 4: You know, like doesn't you gotta don't stop performing for.
Speaker 3: Nothing, you know, and uh, and then I started hearing
Speaker 3: that voice, and then I thought, does it you know?
Speaker 3: This is UCB and I have a broken wrist. And
Speaker 3: I stood there for a second like I don't know
Speaker 3: what to do. I broke my wrist. Should I tell
Speaker 3: a joke? And then they were kind of like we
Speaker 3: don't know, you know, they just stood there when I said,
Speaker 3: you know, I guess I'll go to the hospital.
Speaker 4: I broke my wrist, Okay, bye, And then I remember.
Speaker 3: Like it was very like it was right after I
Speaker 3: came on stage, Like I went on stage, broke it immediately,
Speaker 3: and then I was like, oh, I better go, and
Speaker 3: you know, they bring you on to a song and
Speaker 3: then they plays off for the different song. I remember
Speaker 3: like whatever the song was, it was like the same
Speaker 3: song right.
Speaker 4: Away, you know.
Speaker 3: And then I kind of wandered around the back of
Speaker 3: UCB like embarrassed and kind of in shock, like I
Speaker 3: don't know what to do because it did really hurt
Speaker 3: and it did literally look very broken, you know, and
Speaker 3: I was holding my wrist and then I remember I
Speaker 3: think I think it was like I think it was
Speaker 3: Cody Fisher, who was running the house at the time.
Speaker 3: She was like, Josh, are you okay. I was like, uh,
Speaker 3: I brought my wrist and then I was like trying.
Speaker 3: I was like planning to just walk to my car
Speaker 3: and go somewhere. And then like so someone that was working,
Speaker 3: you know, drove me the emergency room and.
Speaker 1: Now oh my god. Yeah, and then there was a
Speaker 1: big ride up in Variety about how you you had
Speaker 1: a soft clothes, you didn't have a hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: It was on one of those you remember way back
Speaker 3: in the in the comedy days of la and like, oh,
Speaker 3: I mean it was probably like fifteen, six seventeen years
Speaker 3: ago at this point. The website that everyone they put
Speaker 3: the reviews of everyone sets on remember those days, and
Speaker 3: the biggest fear that we had a special thing, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a special thing. And the biggest fear was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I hope they don't write something. I hope they write
Speaker 3: I was funny, any special thing.
Speaker 1: I fully forgot about that. I would look up my
Speaker 1: name to punish myself need what people said. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was pre like before you paid attention to YouTube comments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were some names on there. I don't remember
Speaker 3: mog remember. I hope Jouster thought I was funny or.
Speaker 1: Whatever that was.
Speaker 2: I used to look at that website from work because
Speaker 2: I had stopped doing stand up comedy and I didn't this.
Speaker 2: It was such a strange time because it was like
Speaker 2: I stopped doing stand up to work to take a
Speaker 2: TV job in like two thousand and two, and that's
Speaker 2: kind of when like the internet became a thing and
Speaker 2: it was just a whole new generation in a very
Speaker 2: different way that comedy started working. And so like just
Speaker 2: every once in a while I would look for my
Speaker 2: name on a website like that when I was never
Speaker 2: doing comedy were the weirdest. It was very sad.
Speaker 1: Maybe nostalgically I'll be mentioned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's gonna which is like what but it started.
Speaker 3: Out happen It started out like a mister show like
Speaker 3: fan side or was it you start out a Tenacious
Speaker 3: dfan side and a mister share like a both mister show.
Speaker 4: So I mean that makes sense really a little.
Speaker 3: But no, it makes sense that, like you know, there
Speaker 3: would be some Karen discussion on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. But also I think it
Speaker 2: was more like it was like an mbr Ish kind
Speaker 2: of thing.
Speaker 4: I Margo.
Speaker 3: Those were oh if you could get up, if only
Speaker 3: I could get up at Largo on Fairfax, across from
Speaker 3: Kibbet's room, not the Future one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and we knew about the future. Well that's
Speaker 1: how thought forward thinking we were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to get I sure would like
Speaker 3: to get on the Future one, but I really want
Speaker 3: to get on the Fairfax one here in two thousand
Speaker 3: and three.
Speaker 2: That's where I want to the present.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I honestly I did not know you were injured.
Speaker 1: I was I've seen you go full buster Keaton like
Speaker 1: a guy who comedically broke his back.
Speaker 3: Right had a broken neck for it, like until when
Speaker 3: he was older he was like, your neck's broken, says
Speaker 3: the doctor.
Speaker 1: Still, Oh that was one of my bits. Yeah, where
Speaker 1: I fell off a building into a moving car.
Speaker 4: It's it's actually here's where my put my nerd hat on.
Speaker 3: It's was this short where he he uh falls out
Speaker 3: of a water tower or water thing and then the
Speaker 3: water floods on top of him and when he fell out,
Speaker 3: he hit he hit a railroad track and he stood
Speaker 3: up and it's on film supposedly unless the general No.
Speaker 4: I think it was one of the shorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it was, uh you said he broke
Speaker 2: his neck.
Speaker 3: He like, yeah, I guess he broke his neck and
Speaker 3: uh by hitting like it was like on.
Speaker 1: The on a railroad and like yeah, and then they
Speaker 1: just put it in the movie. That's he didn't know it.
Speaker 4: He put it in the movie. He was like, a
Speaker 4: smart movie.
Speaker 1: I like it. He probably didn't know that he broke
Speaker 1: He's like, it still hurts, but good shot. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: studio which I own won't approve if I bow out early,
Speaker 1: which I own until until the studio that I own
Speaker 1: now but will eventually be uh sign a contract with MGM,
Speaker 1: where I won't have the freedom that I have now
Speaker 1: with to perform with a broken neck.
Speaker 4: He said it like that, Yeah exactly. He knew. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he knew it was coming.
Speaker 1: And then even back then he was like, God, I
Speaker 1: hope I get to perform at the future Largo.
Speaker 4: Right, I hope.
Speaker 3: I hope this is where I get discovered by Raymond
Speaker 3: roe Hower, who will be who will discover my films
Speaker 3: in a basement, and then I'll have a resurgence and
Speaker 3: start being in TV commercials.
Speaker 4: Hopefully that will happen.
Speaker 1: He knew the names. Yep, yeah, yeah, fingers crossed Josh.
Speaker 2: When you were you, like as a teen, was the
Speaker 2: physical stuff something that you did, like for fun or
Speaker 2: to make your friends left?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: How did you get to the point where you were
Speaker 2: doing stuff like that on stage? Was it a thing
Speaker 2: that you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think I probably did, like lots of
Speaker 3: following and stuff, and like, you know, I actually wasn't
Speaker 3: in in middle school, like I was real into Charlie Chaplin,
Speaker 3: you know. I'm sure I saw the the Robert Downey
Speaker 3: Junior biopic and then that made me watch the real
Speaker 3: Chaplain stuff and then and uh, and then I I
Speaker 3: got more in a Buster Keaton I think, like, you know,
Speaker 3: it wasn't on TV as much, and I got more
Speaker 3: into Buster Keaton like in my late teens and stuff.
Speaker 3: But but I would try to copy those guys without
Speaker 3: any kind of training or anything like that. So I
Speaker 3: now I don't do it really as much now just
Speaker 3: because I'm like, oh, getting older or whatever. But uh,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I did definitely try to do it and
Speaker 3: be that that sticky guy.
Speaker 1: Or whatever, you know, what's funny is I interviewed Jackie
Speaker 1: Chan once for some movie press junket. Wow, and he
Speaker 1: was really sweet and he had a translator. He actually
Speaker 1: doesn't speak English very well. He he learned lines for movies.
Speaker 4: Fanatically and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But he he said his heroes were Buster Keaton
Speaker 1: and Charlie Chaplin. And he's not a martial artist. The
Speaker 1: guy who was his translator was actually also his fight
Speaker 1: fight choreographer. Wow. But he said he just wanted to
Speaker 1: physically be a physical comedian. Yeah, he loved comedy and
Speaker 1: he loved physical comedy. That blew me away because he
Speaker 1: came this, became this action star.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he's I feel like he's like, uh, I
Speaker 3: think that he's credited for being like one of the first,
Speaker 3: you know, martial arts stars to react with pain. And
Speaker 3: that's kind of why it was funny. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 3: I think they say.
Speaker 4: I know it. I don't know why I'm acting like
Speaker 4: I think they said this.
Speaker 3: I just don't want to like alienate everyone by by
Speaker 3: turning into a video store clerk.
Speaker 4: Well that's what the.
Speaker 3: Reason he did, was Goes. He actually he would he
Speaker 3: would portray Payne. So, oh, I want to say, yeah,
Speaker 3: he is a drunken master.
Speaker 1: Yeah it works.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How long did you work at that video store? What
Speaker 1: was that?
Speaker 3: I worked at the video store Centiphile right by the
Speaker 3: New Art uh for ten years from twenteow o three
Speaker 3: to twenty thirteen.
Speaker 2: Well, Josh, did you was that?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: I just remember that there was a stand up show there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a stand up show. I think I
Speaker 3: had both of you on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did it a few times.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was very excited to do that because because partly
Speaker 2: because it was such a cool hit video store. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then partly because I was doing stand up again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was back.
Speaker 4: I was bad.
Speaker 3: I haven't been doing stand up or really live performing
Speaker 3: since the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The last time I saw you, I showed up for
Speaker 1: a show in the basement of a bar in Denver,
Speaker 1: and I was because.
Speaker 4: It was a February twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: That's when we that's we last sight.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it was February twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Month I was like, what am I? I don't want to
Speaker 1: be here and you were there. I was in a
Speaker 1: bad mood and you were in a great mood, and
Speaker 1: you put me in a good mood and then you
Speaker 1: killed it. You were so funny. Do you remember how
Speaker 1: well that show went for you?
Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, I do remember that show because it
Speaker 3: was like one of the last ones, I feel like
Speaker 3: before the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were just on the whole time, and
Speaker 1: you were riffing. Most of it, I feel was unplanned.
Speaker 3: I would say about half of it if my memory,
Speaker 3: I had the I had the set, but then there
Speaker 3: was like I had some family there and some friends
Speaker 3: you know that lived in Colorado, and then.
Speaker 4: There I remember that show.
Speaker 3: There was a guy who I'm sure he laughed at
Speaker 3: everyone this loud, but he was having a hoot hollering time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he laughing, Yeah, like it hurt bug, like you said,
Speaker 3: every joke shot we were shooting him.
Speaker 1: And he was older guy, bald, he's a he's a
Speaker 1: he's a fixture in audiences in Denver. Yes, sweet guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his name is Dave.
Speaker 3: I think Dave Caldwell is his name. Yes, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think I think we're Facebook friends now.
Speaker 1: And I love his laugh. A lot of people thrown
Speaker 1: off by it.
Speaker 4: You need that.
Speaker 1: You know me too. I made a point he was
Speaker 1: banned from a show or banned from certain comics.
Speaker 4: Let's let's out the banner now.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 4: No one goes to that banner.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you after we're done recording.
Speaker 4: We don't don't want to smeare them. You don't want
Speaker 4: to ruin there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't do another smear campaign because then you'll
Speaker 1: be banned from the banner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we need that, you need that banner.
Speaker 1: Everything is cyclical banners listening.
Speaker 3: But I have been doing stand up for twenty years,
Speaker 3: so you can text me his name. Let's say I
Speaker 3: think the banner is Jerry Jifferson.
Speaker 1: Oh, Jippy Jerry gips. But I made a point last
Speaker 1: time I saw Dave Caldwell to say, this is my
Speaker 1: favorite audience person in Denver. I'm so excited whenever he
Speaker 1: is up front of a show. And I could tell
Speaker 1: it made him feel good because he is so dedicated
Speaker 1: to watching. He loves yeah, all the shows, all this.
Speaker 2: Why would you have a problem with the person laughing
Speaker 2: loud is because do people misinterpret what he's doing?
Speaker 1: It is a startling he it is a version of
Speaker 1: what Josh did, but louder like. He just goes bad
Speaker 1: like it sounds like a.
Speaker 4: Dog, abusing.
Speaker 3: Like James and Domian when when we were used to
Speaker 3: have a laugh so loud, like I remember, I've known
Speaker 3: James forever, and like we did the growlings and stand
Speaker 3: up and all that, and.
Speaker 1: Like his laugh.
Speaker 4: And just it was.
Speaker 3: It was usually you would hear from the back and
Speaker 3: you would know, like James is here good? Yeah, but
Speaker 3: yeah Dave Caldwell.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: As soon as I was done with the show or later,
Speaker 3: I was like, he's a fixed And then I felt like, oh,
Speaker 3: I bet you whatever stick I was doing about enjoying
Speaker 3: his laugh like on stage, and like I thought I
Speaker 3: was so original when I was staying that, I bet
Speaker 3: like half the comedians like, what's.
Speaker 4: Going on with your great laugh?
Speaker 1: I love this laugh? Oh laugh?
Speaker 4: Can we give it up for this guy's laugh? It's
Speaker 4: like I could do anything and get a laugh when
Speaker 4: this guy's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he heard that a lot, and I
Speaker 1: think he appreciated it.
Speaker 4: Yeah he must.
Speaker 3: How do you feel when you're riff when you realize
Speaker 3: your riff is an original and your riff is a cliche?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that when you're in a new city
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, everyone makes fun of our bridge
Speaker 1: that looks like a penis right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, have you ever done a thing where you
Speaker 2: think you're riffing on stage and it's really original and
Speaker 2: you realize you're just repeating someone else's joke.
Speaker 4: The last comic I used to do that.
Speaker 2: You know what I do. I used to do that
Speaker 2: all the time with Blaine capatches jokes because I have
Speaker 2: known Blaine forever, like when I started in San Francisco,
Speaker 2: he was like a you know, fixture in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: I've seen him do stand up so much that like,
Speaker 2: and I love his comedy so much that I remember
Speaker 2: all of it. So then i'd be It'd be like
Speaker 2: one topic would come up and I'd be like, say something,
Speaker 2: and then I'd have to go, that's blank. I just
Speaker 2: like thinking that. I'm just like, oh, yeah, I just
Speaker 2: had the best idea, and it's like, no, you didn't
Speaker 2: have a perfect joke appear in your head.
Speaker 4: I believe that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I was gonna say I I can
Speaker 3: remember there was a period of time when I would
Speaker 3: when I was starting to do more like you know,
Speaker 3: coming of age as a comedian and you start riffing
Speaker 3: more on stage or you're like, hey, I can just
Speaker 3: like stretch his oack, I can just keep talking, I
Speaker 3: can keep finding jokes or whatever. And I realized, like, I'm, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm doing it, but I'm sometimes I'm doing it like
Speaker 3: Andy Kindler does it. And I realized it was like
Speaker 3: I had a little bit of like yep, persona theft
Speaker 3: or a riff theft or whatever, yeah that.
Speaker 1: Is, and I, like Karen just said, sometimes I'd take
Speaker 1: it so far where I would do his line, which
Speaker 1: is or a third thing that is.
Speaker 3: Funny, yeah, you come up, yeah, and another thing and
Speaker 3: a third one.
Speaker 1: And a third thing that caps it off in a
Speaker 1: way that you enjoy. Like I've said, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just did basically his material.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I think I think it's because when you
Speaker 2: see a person and they make you laugh so hard,
Speaker 2: when you believe yourself to be this experienced comedian that's
Speaker 2: seen it all and you know what I mean, like
Speaker 2: no one's funny whatever, and then you see someone that
Speaker 2: does it like it really would burn itself into my brain.
Speaker 2: So then it is, you know, that is the difficulty
Speaker 2: of like riffing and giving yourself the chance to be
Speaker 2: original or think of something new. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: your brain is already filled with all these people that
Speaker 2: you adore that have made you laugh so hard you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm gonna remember this forever.
Speaker 1: So they should take it as a compliment. When we
Speaker 1: even when we early on and we're doing this podcast
Speaker 1: and we would joke about having advertisers, I would make
Speaker 1: up fake commercials, and that's a Blaine capacity. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: moment brought to you by where there's candies or whatever.
Speaker 1: He did that all the time. And right now realizing.
Speaker 3: Another yeah, another Blaine when I'm sure I did on
Speaker 3: shows at one point or another that I feel like
Speaker 3: is totally Blaine. Is uh something like you know we
Speaker 3: have a clip of that right now or something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, let's see the clip right now, Let's go
Speaker 3: to the clip.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the clip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely completely.
Speaker 3: There's I always felt like, uh, you remember also the
Speaker 3: thing that that that comedians are not really so much
Speaker 3: up in arms. You don't hear about, But there was
Speaker 3: a window of time probably like I don't know, five
Speaker 3: to twelve or something where.
Speaker 4: Joke thieves joke thieves.
Speaker 6: If you will joke dief, we will kill you for
Speaker 6: being a joke thief.
Speaker 3: But this is like, but now it's I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's there's way more egregious offenses. I guess in comedy,
Speaker 3: you don't hear people talking about that guy's a joke
Speaker 3: thief and he's going down with taking his career away
Speaker 3: from being a joke. I always was more off put
Speaker 3: by Cadence theft, right, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 3: that always seemed like a you know, person on a theft. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd rather hear a stolen joke than another comic
Speaker 1: trying desperately to sound like Kyle kanane yea when they
Speaker 1: talk or where I started in Austin. It was also
Speaker 1: the era and the state where he came up, but
Speaker 1: everyone was trying to be edgy and sound like Bill Hicks.
Speaker 1: Everyone already opened my had four or five Bill Hicks
Speaker 1: wanna bees and they were actually smoking on stage and everything.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. You know, the biggest Old Hicks thief was
Speaker 1: Dennis Leary and he actually got famous from it right there.
Speaker 1: The Sorry if you're listening, Sorry Dennis, Sorry Denny. Dennis
Speaker 1: you've done well in your own right, Dennis. You got
Speaker 1: a great career, Dennis, you turned it into your own thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love the Fireman Show, Dennis. Will Dennis rescue me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: rescue me from this situation, Dennis, because I feel backed
Speaker 1: against wall Denny.
Speaker 4: If you don't, if you don't get people pissed.
Speaker 3: You about a bagging on Denny, You're gonna get a
Speaker 3: lot of Denny fans saying I listened to your podcasts
Speaker 3: you said the thing about Denny.
Speaker 4: I'm out of here.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna listen no more because you.
Speaker 4: You gotta apologize to me, Denny.
Speaker 2: Me, no, come back, come back that listener, Come back,
Speaker 2: one listener.
Speaker 1: You say goodbye to Jouster slash Denny Slashier, Jousterer, Jipperson, Jousterer, Jefferson. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: your dog is very cute.
Speaker 4: Oh he's a very good boy.
Speaker 1: How long have you had that little boy, Bobby? I
Speaker 1: found him in March twenty ten.
Speaker 4: Can you believe it?
Speaker 1: That's a long time I've met that little boy. I
Speaker 1: always see that dog and I'm like, I'm friends with
Speaker 1: your dad. Yeah, Hi, Hi, Bobby, I'm friends with your Hi. Babby,
Speaker 1: and Nanny bites me basically.
Speaker 2: Wait, I have a dog that looks a lot like
Speaker 2: Bobby where she will not listen to me normally she comes, Blossom,
Speaker 2: where are.
Speaker 1: You, Blossom? Let's have a dog off. It's visual and
Speaker 1: people love to hear it.
Speaker 2: Because when Bobby first stood up, Bobby has two tan
Speaker 2: spots on him.
Speaker 4: Uh huh little coffee stains.
Speaker 2: Yes, so does she.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2: She looks a lot like, hey, Camire, would you Frank?
Speaker 2: Not you Frank? He's not coming anyway. I don't know
Speaker 2: where she went. Blossom this definitely.
Speaker 4: For the sitcom character.
Speaker 2: Blossom was named this one and I got her from
Speaker 2: the rescue, and I was so scared of the rescue
Speaker 2: people that I didn't want to change her name because
Speaker 2: I was afraid they'd find out and somehow come back
Speaker 2: and be like, uh, you agreed actually in your paperwork
Speaker 2: that you would never change the dog's names.
Speaker 4: That they really make you agree to.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But they were like they came
Speaker 2: and checked my house to make sure the yard was fenced.
Speaker 2: They were like, they were kind of intense in a
Speaker 2: way that I wasn't used to. So I assumed that
Speaker 2: they would be like they if I changed her name,
Speaker 2: It's like, here's my new dogs. I kind of wanted
Speaker 2: to name her Bertie.
Speaker 4: We will listening to your podcast.
Speaker 2: Check all my content. Yeah, Blossom came here.
Speaker 3: Bertie, well Bobby when his name was found, uh, when
Speaker 3: I found him he I found out that he had
Speaker 3: a name from the previous owner and it was Bobie,
Speaker 3: which I said, no, no, no and no no, not no,
Speaker 3: and so I wouldn't. I said, I'm not calling this
Speaker 3: guy that, and so I thought, I will confused and
Speaker 3: too much. But he does look like his name is Bobby,
Speaker 3: and so yes, he's Bobby.
Speaker 4: He took to it.
Speaker 2: Were the people from a different country or so with Boby, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I did speak to the previous on on the phone.
Speaker 3: There was no you know, accent or anything.
Speaker 1: Boby's sounds like yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe maybe it means something.
Speaker 1: I bought a car, My first car that I paid
Speaker 1: cash for when I was like early twenties, was a
Speaker 1: Buick Skyhawk. It was white like your dogs and the yeah,
Speaker 1: two coffee stains. That was me. That's how I christened
Speaker 1: the car. I broke a coffee on it the hood.
Speaker 1: But the woman that I bought it from asked me
Speaker 1: to please promise to call the the car Orville Wow,
Speaker 1: And I thought she was kidding and She said, will
Speaker 1: you continue to call the car Orville? And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're you're crazy. Oh I thought that you were making
Speaker 1: a joke. Yes, I will call the car Orville. And
Speaker 1: you know what, I did call the car Orville, like in, hey,
Speaker 1: do you mind if I park Orville? Because it was
Speaker 1: funny to my friends. So I would have liked, you know.
Speaker 3: If you had started this story well when I drove Orville,
Speaker 3: when I first got Orville, because you still got to
Speaker 3: call it Orville.
Speaker 4: You know that that agreement doesn't end.
Speaker 3: You said you'd call the car Orville, and now you
Speaker 3: can't just call it a buick Skylark that you used
Speaker 3: to drive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, Skyhawks, sky high hawks, sporty or much sport here.
Speaker 1: I just want to know let people know I still
Speaker 1: have style.
Speaker 3: That car talk just reminded me of the movie My
Speaker 3: Cousin Vinnie, which I caught on TV recently, And that
Speaker 3: is a funny movie.
Speaker 1: Yes it is.
Speaker 4: It holds up, it does, and Marissa.
Speaker 3: Tomey's performance better than ever age as well, very funny.
Speaker 3: Such a good accent, great accent, such a great timing.
Speaker 4: What were you gonna say?
Speaker 3: Great concept, great concept, great concept, well written script some
Speaker 3: good setups that pay off later in an annoying way.
Speaker 1: A script written by Dale Loner Dale. Dale wrote that
Speaker 1: and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and the War of the Roses
Speaker 1: and all all of his movies are about jilted lovers
Speaker 1: or divorce or getting revenge. And I sat next to
Speaker 1: him on an airplane going to the Aspen Comedy Festival.
Speaker 1: He just said he is a filmmaker. But he kept
Speaker 1: like pointing people out on the airplane. He's like, see her,
Speaker 1: we used to date.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: She was a real train wreck. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: think she can maybe hear you. But he went to
Speaker 1: my show and then and then afterwards he sent me
Speaker 1: an email. He's like, pretty good stuff, but I wonder
Speaker 1: if in this joke, if you could tighten it up.
Speaker 1: He gave me notes.
Speaker 4: Dale stick to the script.
Speaker 1: He also offered like, if you ever want to learn
Speaker 1: about screenwriting, I'll sit down with you and we could
Speaker 1: think of ideas. And I really wish I had done that.
Speaker 4: You might still be able too. You got his email.
Speaker 4: You still got that.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm worried now that he's listening along with the
Speaker 1: Dennis Leary.
Speaker 2: Well cut that part Dale's from from this moment forward,
Speaker 2: We're all pro Dale.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Dale.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, the whole conversation started because we're all
Speaker 3: in agreement.
Speaker 1: How great Dale is. He's unbelievable is Yeah. He was
Speaker 1: a nice He was a nice guy. He just he
Speaker 1: had a lot of anger I think in Hiss his
Speaker 1: last relationship, you know, And that's normal.
Speaker 3: I just had a therapy session before this started, and uh,
Speaker 3: and I'm still.
Speaker 4: Sorting through my own stuff, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're just where it's we're all works in progress.
Speaker 3: Dale's a work in progress. He's probably hopefully he's moved.
Speaker 3: He's moved past some of those issues with the Girl
Speaker 3: on the airplane.
Speaker 1: Or Yeah, he has a new movie. I can't remember
Speaker 1: what it's called, but it had been it had been
Speaker 1: like since the nineties, and he has a new good movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because those are all good comedies.
Speaker 2: That he you know what The Three Rotten Scoundrels is.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing it in the theater and my friend
Speaker 2: and I literally doing the gasp when the reveal comes
Speaker 2: at the end. We were just like, what, like, the
Speaker 2: whole thing was so ofesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Glenn Headley the whole time. Glenn Headley's
Speaker 3: a dirty rotten scoundrel too.
Speaker 2: She's the true dirty rotten scout.
Speaker 3: What was the name of her, the thing, you know,
Speaker 3: the you know, the you, the viper or the the
Speaker 3: Eagle or the that she had a con artist nickname.
Speaker 2: Remember, I got to watch it again.
Speaker 1: I gotta watch Let's have a Dale Loner a film Festival. Yeah.
Speaker 4: There, for sure, comedies from that era.
Speaker 3: Studio comedies from that era had like, well, they had
Speaker 3: like scripts, I feel like and like a they had
Speaker 3: a script written. It wasn't just like all improv improv
Speaker 3: with you know, the you know, with a handful of
Speaker 3: the up and coming comedians of the day peppered in. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they.
Speaker 3: Had real titles, you know, not just like the mall,
Speaker 3: the house, the dog tag door, Uh, bad Mom, bad Stinker,
Speaker 3: Date Night, rough Night, Bad Night, Hard Night, House Night, Nighthouse,
Speaker 3: Night Before, Young Knight, Bad Night, bad Mom, bad Stinker,
Speaker 3: bad Grandpa, bad, dirty, dirty Grandpa, bad Lawyer, bad plumber,
Speaker 3: bad Office, Christmas Party, thief, bad Fine, bad Boss, horrible Boss,
Speaker 3: the Boss, Horrible Bosses, Horrible bosses too.
Speaker 4: These are all the real comedies.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the pitches are like uh yes, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is his.
Speaker 2: Funny imagic and I got noun ready.
Speaker 4: It's like this is the new the new I p in.
Speaker 3: Comedy is uh, hey, what if there was a garbage
Speaker 3: man and he's bad?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They just they have two dartboards and they spin them.
Speaker 1: One is of different occupations and the other one is
Speaker 1: of different situations. Yeah, or emotions.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It landed on sad firemen.
Speaker 2: Yeah and action.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He comes sliding about down the pole crying, I don't
Speaker 2: want to go.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the fire.
Speaker 4: This fireman is a bad fireman. Sad fireman. Okay, said
Speaker 4: this one's sad. It's not bad.
Speaker 2: The studio notes come back and they're like, sad fireman
Speaker 2: seems suppressing.
Speaker 1: Could it be a bad Maybe he could be more bad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he accidentally starts fires starring Drew Barrymore.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing I don't like modern comedies. You don't
Speaker 2: like no, no, Well, the trend and on comedies I
Speaker 2: don't like, which I think are from those bad Night
Speaker 2: Sad night era is it sounds. People now believe that
Speaker 2: you need to sound like you're improvising and you are
Speaker 2: also have a light stutter because it's like there's always
Speaker 2: that vibe of where it's like, can't you just read
Speaker 2: your line and say it with a certain like a
Speaker 2: certain zip, and we'll be out of this scene. Like
Speaker 2: it feels like there's people just kind of like like
Speaker 2: they're like, okay, both of you go over to the
Speaker 2: car wreck and then start, you know, just make it
Speaker 2: work around the car wreck and then see what happens.
Speaker 2: Like it's that vibe where I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 2: anybody to see what happens. I want you to know
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. I want you to hit every
Speaker 2: mark exactly and deliver a real good line when you
Speaker 2: get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember the first time I saw Juno, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of stammering, and it was almost like
Speaker 1: a forced ualness to the line, like oh, just generally
Speaker 1: I want you to say this. Like even a script
Speaker 1: like Waiting for Guffman, where each page is like they
Speaker 1: come in and talk about the show, the mayor comes
Speaker 1: in and changes the subject like it was fully improvised.
Speaker 1: It's such an interesting script to read. I had a
Speaker 1: copy of it. But when you watch that it they're
Speaker 1: not stammering and stuttering and forcing like human mannerisms. It
Speaker 1: just it just they're they're that good at improvising. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that they don't. They're not plugging in a million ums
Speaker 1: and us in there. Yeah yeah, yeah, No one wants
Speaker 1: your ums and us.
Speaker 2: Or repeat just repeating the same line several times, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that drives me nuts. Or just like say it once
Speaker 2: like you mean it and you don't have to say
Speaker 2: it five times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm trying. What can you think of an
Speaker 4: example off the top of your head.
Speaker 2: I don't want to name names or name because of
Speaker 2: my career, right.
Speaker 4: You don't want to smear sometimes?
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like a fun joke that was
Speaker 3: always fun to do, uh, at least at the shows
Speaker 3: that I ran, would be to name names of the
Speaker 3: things that suck, you know, And I'd be like, no
Speaker 3: one's here, guess about all the guess who sucks? And
Speaker 3: then and then you really like, uh, you know, you
Speaker 3: really uh shoot yourself in the career foot.
Speaker 4: Yes, but no one's watching, but someone might be.
Speaker 2: That very nineties. The nineties nineties comedy was very mean
Speaker 2: and very naming, Like I would go, that's how I
Speaker 2: would write comedy. It's just like I saw the movie
Speaker 2: step Mom and it sucked in here. Why and it's
Speaker 2: just like yeah, okay, I mean like okay, but it's
Speaker 2: one way to go, maybe not the best way to go.
Speaker 3: I actually, you said Drew barrymore and I had a story.
Speaker 3: I'll confess that.
Speaker 1: Uh who said Drew Barry I did just second ago
Speaker 1: doing the Bad Fireman Riff. And I said, I'll tell
Speaker 1: this story because I don't starter there's that movie that
Speaker 1: they really got it. So Drew Godrew Okay.
Speaker 3: So I used to run a show years ago in
Speaker 3: the basement of the Ramada Inn.
Speaker 1: Came with Justin Long.
Speaker 4: You were there, yes, oh my god, Okay, I can't
Speaker 4: believe you were there. So if you maybe you.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I remember, and then you tell
Speaker 3: me what you remember.
Speaker 1: They were there often, though they I don't think they were.
Speaker 4: At least they weren't my show often.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: No fighting, no fighting, guys.
Speaker 4: Okay, they weren't fighting. No work.
Speaker 1: I was there. I was there. I did not predict
Speaker 1: and I did not know you broke your wrist.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: I didn't break my wrist this night. This had to
Speaker 3: have been like two thousand and six or something like that, okay.
Speaker 3: And I was doing I would host his characters. A
Speaker 3: lot of the times it's just a silly character and
Speaker 3: kind of stretch out the characters between the acts, you know,
Speaker 3: or sometimes it just be myself. But this night I
Speaker 3: was doing some character. I can't remember exactly what it was,
Speaker 3: but I remember Drew Barrymore and Justin Long were there
Speaker 3: for some reason, maybe their friends girlfriend was doing stand
Speaker 3: up or something.
Speaker 1: Like yes and say her name in a minute, uh
Speaker 1: huh okay, and so h.
Speaker 3: It was going well, and it was maybe in my
Speaker 3: memory a little tense.
Speaker 1: Because it was like, oh, it's delivery here.
Speaker 3: I didn't make any reference to it, but I do
Speaker 3: remember like it was a little stiff, but the show
Speaker 3: wasn't going badly.
Speaker 4: And then after her act, they got up.
Speaker 3: And left, and I don't remember what I said, but
Speaker 3: I just unleashed. I just laid into I just made
Speaker 3: the most you know, I just went off on like whatever,
Speaker 3: Drew Barrymore, you know, oh what you know something about
Speaker 3: them being there. I just kept making jokes and I thought, oh,
Speaker 3: it'd be funny to say the meanest jokes possible, or
Speaker 3: I don't even know what the mean joke would be.
Speaker 4: Oh you were a little girl in et you were
Speaker 4: going to whatever. I can't, I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah I got showed her, but uh, anyway, I.
Speaker 4: Think it was probably mean.
Speaker 3: And and then everyone was laughing really hard at the
Speaker 3: mean jokes about Drew Barrymore.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 3: The show went on, and then later someone was like, Josh,
Speaker 3: they were there. They were staying. You know, you remember
Speaker 3: the Ramada that like you can't there's the doorway. They
Speaker 3: were right behind the stage.
Speaker 1: There here, and there's not a wall there. It was
Speaker 1: cut outs of like yeah foliage, Like yeah, maybe.
Speaker 3: There's like a piece of paper blocking Like I didn't
Speaker 3: see them in the hall. You couldn't see, but there's
Speaker 3: nothing stopping them from hearing.
Speaker 1: Every year you can hear it perfectly back there. I remember.
Speaker 1: That's how I used to watch the shows and hang
Speaker 1: out back there. Yeah, they heard it, they heard every word.
Speaker 3: And I mean, in my memory, I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: the famous people were making the the room uncomfortable, and
Speaker 3: so I felt like I was taking the the I
Speaker 3: was taking the piss out of it by making people
Speaker 3: relax by being like yeah, yeah, who cares.
Speaker 4: And it was all kind of as a joke, but.
Speaker 3: I remember, yeah, I remember feeling like, oops, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean?
Speaker 3: Were they like mad to the second Well, there's a
Speaker 3: second part of the story.
Speaker 4: But but but Chris, what do you remember? Well?
Speaker 1: I remember them having fun, and they seem like they
Speaker 1: were they were laughing at things. But I vividly remember
Speaker 1: thinking they were gone and then they were back. But
Speaker 1: I do not, and I'm not.
Speaker 4: Did not come back to their seat after that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I do not remember you being super mean
Speaker 1: and it being a whole thing like I think pretty
Speaker 1: much everyone in the room thought they had left, right,
Speaker 1: but they were behind. They were just behind talking to
Speaker 1: their friends with a comic that we used to see
Speaker 1: all the time, Karen at One on One cafe. She
Speaker 1: was She was a waitress there and also a funny comic.
Speaker 1: But she was somehow friends with them, and they that
Speaker 1: they were there. I'm just confirming they were there to support,
Speaker 1: Like you said, their friend.
Speaker 2: So it's you said you were going to say her name.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, wouldn't it be great? There wasn't
Speaker 1: a My family wasn't riddled with Alzheimer's. I also haven't
Speaker 1: seen her for a long time, but she was funny
Speaker 1: and I liked her. But I think she's not in
Speaker 1: comedy anymore.
Speaker 2: She's friends with Drew berrymore.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how she knew her. And even back
Speaker 1: then I wanted to ask, like, how are you just

Speaker 3: feel like, you know, you talked about like taking a
Speaker 3: writing job and then and you're like, oh, I don't perform,
Speaker 3: And there is something about like performing, like if you
Speaker 3: take a break, you got this voice in the back
Speaker 3: of your head that's like some meat head, you know,
Speaker 3: telling you like you're the pavement, you know, and you're.
Speaker 4: Like, who are you get out of here?

Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I hope it wasn't the devil himself?
Speaker 2: The devil coming up from a blow in Tulsa.

Speaker 3: us the question what else we're up to? I watched
Speaker 3: during the lockdown year and have continued to remain obsessed
Speaker 3: with a lot of film noir from the forties. I
Speaker 3: got real obsessive and I just kept watching. So I
Speaker 3: watched over three hundred of them from the black and
Speaker 3: white ones. So I'm real into that. Eddie Muller from TCM.
Speaker 3: I don't know him, but he's my main man. I'm
Speaker 3: a big fan. If I saw him, I'd be starstruck.
Speaker 3: I always want to talk to him too.
Speaker 4: Me too. I watched I Love Ben Mankowitz.
Speaker 3: I tweeked to him sometimes he replied a few times.
Speaker 3: I think he started getting annoyed, but he did follow
Speaker 3: me back.
Speaker 2: But then he didn't get annoyed. I bet he did.
Speaker 2: My friend Millie Cherko who has a podcast on our network.
Speaker 2: She is the programmer for the late night of tc
Speaker 2: SO the Underground. Yep, that's she picks those movies.
Speaker 3: She's She's going to talk to Millie and what does
Speaker 3: she have her podcast about those movies?
Speaker 2: I saw what you did? And Millie and based off
Speaker 2: the William Castle uh title, yep, yes, and they do.
Speaker 2: They basically do double features where they picked two movies
Speaker 2: and you have to guess what the theme is between
Speaker 2: the two and then they basically talk about them. And
Speaker 2: Millie is the cinema expert and Danielle is just the
Speaker 2: person who likes movies.
Speaker 4: They just talk about it with each other. They have
Speaker 4: guests on there too.
Speaker 2: They've had a couple of guests, but for the most.
Speaker 3: Part, no room for me to get in there.
Speaker 4: Well, I could be in a case, I could be
Speaker 4: a special guest.
Speaker 2: I will absolutely If I texted Milly, I'm because Millie's
Speaker 2: best friends with April Richardson, so I'm sure she knows
Speaker 2: who you are, so I'm sure they would love to
Speaker 2: have you.
Speaker 4: Well, there was a couple of those, you know they
Speaker 4: do those.
Speaker 3: Uh, here's why underground movies are so fun and great
Speaker 3: type promos, which I love all that. I love everything
Speaker 3: about TC. I didn't like when they did a redesigned
Speaker 3: but now I'm okay with it. But they really you
Speaker 3: just had to get used to it.
Speaker 4: That's it, that's it. And you know what Ben Mank
Speaker 4: even said, he made a whole spiel.
Speaker 3: You just gotta get used to it, or he said,
Speaker 3: and I know, I know, you know, I know you
Speaker 3: don't like change.
Speaker 4: Or something like that.
Speaker 3: But I've also been trying to get a Ben Mank
Speaker 3: impression down where he's like da da da da da
Speaker 3: da da da da. The film backs and then he
Speaker 3: finishes that and he goes from nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 4: He always he always takes a good pause.
Speaker 1: Before he goes from nineteen forty seven here.
Speaker 2: Is he winds up? It's the wind up in.
Speaker 4: The pitch Ben. I think that the movie mank should
Speaker 4: have been about Ben Mank.
Speaker 2: I am a huge fan of the both Mankowitz brothers, Josh,
Speaker 2: who is on Dateline and Ben. But TCM is when
Speaker 2: my dad and I are like to have to be
Speaker 2: together for an extended period of time, like we go
Speaker 2: on vacation or something, or I'm staying at his house.
Speaker 2: TCM is what we can watch together no matter what,
Speaker 2: because if it's some old movie, he'll be sitting there going,
Speaker 2: you know this guy fought in World Wars, Like he
Speaker 2: always has some sort of like fifties trivia.
Speaker 4: You want to do a podcast with your dad?
Speaker 2: He would be pretty great at it, pretty funny.
Speaker 4: Because yeah, I'd be like, oh, yeah, I heard about that.
Speaker 4: I'd be just trying to keep up. Yeah I knew that.
Speaker 2: Actually I always go oh really and then look at
Speaker 2: my phone again.
Speaker 4: But yeah.
Speaker 2: It's first of all, I love that they don't have commercials.
Speaker 2: I think that's like the greatest thing of all time.
Speaker 2: They just you don't have to worry about commercials. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's the best. And they just roll movie after movie
Speaker 2: and they explained Ben Minkwit's at the beginning, explains why
Speaker 2: you're going to love this movie, what's great about it,
Speaker 2: how some weird thing that happened when they were filming it,
Speaker 2: what it was like in the era, Like it's an education,
Speaker 2: it's really cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah. They have a good approach to.
Speaker 3: Also, like you know, movies that would be canceled or
Speaker 3: something today. You know, that's a slang term that I'm like,
Speaker 3: I say it, but I don't even I don't want.
Speaker 4: To say it. It's just that's the easy word to say.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, right, But they always say, well, here's
Speaker 3: why you don't you don't cancel it. You know, they're
Speaker 3: in they're good flowery TCM talk, but they do it well.
Speaker 3: They say, here's what, and we're going to show it,
Speaker 3: and you're gonna like it and appreciate.
Speaker 4: It for what it is.
Speaker 1: Don't be so hard on it for today's standards or whatever. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's like a disclaimer.
Speaker 3: That sometimes they do a disclaimer, but I think they
Speaker 3: do it. They do it softly, they do it. They
Speaker 3: don't do it like they don't condemn what they're going
Speaker 3: to show. You know, they don't say they don't condemn
Speaker 3: the viewer for wanting to watch old movies, you know,
Speaker 3: or whatever. It's just a context sort of a thing,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: Right, It's kind of like if there's a movie that's
Speaker 2: all about a woman, you know, like you know, a
Speaker 2: woman be being tossed between you know, like she's supposed
Speaker 2: to be the wife of this person or that part,
Speaker 2: you know whatever, then they're like, it's of the time, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and this is kind of like it's very reflective of
Speaker 2: what it was like in nineteen thirty four or whatever.
Speaker 3: Occasionally they will do something that if I'm like trying
Speaker 3: to find a criticism, they might like it's like they
Speaker 3: might do something that's like.
Speaker 4: Not a stretch.
Speaker 3: But it's like, you don't need to do we have
Speaker 3: to tell today's audience that, like just to make them interested,
Speaker 3: Like you really got to make me, You really got
Speaker 3: to explain to me that Sam Fuller's a feminist or
Speaker 3: something like that. You know, it just feels like just
Speaker 3: show the movie, you know, the smart people will get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't rely on people being smart.
Speaker 1: I guess not.
Speaker 2: No, not a special They have to feel that like
Speaker 2: there's the fifteen ten to fifteen minutes between they you know,
Speaker 2: changing reels or whatever between from movie to movie, whereas
Speaker 2: I would love it if you just went from one
Speaker 2: to the other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like rolled on through, just like the Doors
Speaker 1: song to the other side.
Speaker 2: That's right, exactly, roll on through to the other side.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Josh, he are the best.
