And today I had the great great pleasure 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.879 of sitting down for Waynewright Family Part two. Uh, if 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.479 you remember correctly, I interviewed and had a conversation with 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.479 Loud and Waynewright. The third about Tokyo Story and his 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.520 daughter Lucy came in today and Lucy and I, Uh, 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.159 if you follow Stuff you Should Know, then you know 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.680 Lucy played Jerry on the Stuff you Should Know TV show. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.160 Quite a task to play the unknown Jerry. And Lucy's great. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.120 She's just one of my dear friends who I don't 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.160 see often enough, um but every time we see each 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:08.560 other is just wonderful. She's such a just sweet, lovely, wonderful, endearing, 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.800 kind human soul, one of the greats walking around on planet. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.560 Over everybody, and not only that everybody, but she is 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:21.160 a great singer and songwriter. Um as she likes to joke, 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.800 and Loud and likes to joke. It's the family business 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.000 when you are a Waynewright, and Lucy is actually a 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.880 Waynewright Roach because her mom, Susy Roach, is a singer 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.160 and had a group with her sisters, A three part 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.080 harmony group called the Roaches UM in the eighties that 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.320 was really really great and sort of under undersung in 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.440 my opinion, tight tight, great three part harmonies. It just 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.480 comes from a really talented family of Rufus and Martha 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.640 and Louden and Susy and the whole gang. And Lucy 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.520 is really good. She has a new album out called 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.160 Little Beast and Uh, as you will learn in this episode, Lucy, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.120 although she's very sweet and kind person, has a a 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.560 an undercurrent of sadness that just sort of courses through 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.080 her body and she pours that out in her music 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.000 and writes some some really great sad, lovely songs and 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.919 just says the voice of an angel and so talented. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.200 So check out Little Beast for sure, and go see 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.840 Lucy in a town near you.

She 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.040 picked uh Parenthood, which is I know, a favorite of 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.880 many many people. The great great Ron Howard Um comedy 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.000 drama Y I guess you would say, from nine, starring 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.320 uh Steve Martin and Jason Robards and uh Diane West 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.960 and just a whole host Canna Reeves and Martha Plimpton 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.160 and just a young uh Joaquin Phoenix is just loaded. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.760 Tom holtse good lord, what a cast in this movie. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.280 And it was a lot of fun going back and 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.080 rewatching that as an adult and as a parent because 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.799 it's been many years. That kind of took on new 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.760 meaning for me. So we had a great talk about 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.520 parenthood and about growing up in as a Waynewright and 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.960 Roach and what that's all about. And so here we 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:20.079 go with Lucy Waynewright, Roach on parenthood. What's new? Not much? 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:26.880 I nothing. I was just in New York really yeah, 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.760 but I mean I came home on Wednesday. You were, 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:34.120 I think that's uh. And I interviewed Peter McNerney. Oh yeah, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.960 oh my gosh, he's the best. Yeah. We did Hedwig 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.400 in The Angry Inch was his coach, so I got 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.320 to see that again. I love him. I've seen I 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.480 I've seen Julie. I rewrote that script which you should read. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.520 Oh yeah, yeah, I'd like for you to read it. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:55.560 And I saw Julie. I haven't seen anybody else. No 0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.640 Caitlin appearances, although I met someone who was her, but 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.360 I've never seen her since. She like came to my 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:12.840 house for the Super Bowl drop Macaron Couch her. How's 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:18.440 the relation her? I think husband's sister. Maybe so her 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.039 sister in law listens to this show because I was 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.039 there's a lot of like Facebook interaction stuff for the show, 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.640 and uh, I saw a bits a guy and of 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.320 course you know how many of those are. Yeah, and 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.480 I was like, are you or she may have even 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.040 told me first or whatever. Yeah, I don't know what 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.480 she's up to. Or maybe she's married. I think she's 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.520 married to Caitlin's husband's brother, so that's another kind of 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:50.520 in law. Yeah, I have never seen her again. Yeah, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.159 that's your on Facebook. Yeah, that's the only way. And 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:58.000 then nothing, nothing really. I hang get with Chad still. Yeah, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.640 he's great. He's like one of my bros. I mean, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.320 we're both really busy, so it's not a lot. But 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.400 I saw him the other day. I saw him. Oh. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.440 We do this thing called porch Fest every year in 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.960 the neighborhood. It's a music there's like two hundred porches 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.440 in our neighborhood with two hundred bands and then they're 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.279 just slotted at different hours all day long and people 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.080 just walk around and listen to my music. So his 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.760 daughter is sixteen now, Grace, and she played her very 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:34.040 first gig with her. She's the lead singer and they 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.080 did like Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac and that's so cool. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.920 I haven't seen him since his like, well, he's had 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:48.320 a third kid. Yeah. Um, she's a little older than Ruby, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.599 I think, so like close to four, but we don't. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.360 They moved from Decatur, so I don't see them as much, 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.000 which really stinks because I love his whole family and 0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.680 it would be fun to all hang out like that. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.920 So great. But I did go by and see Grace saying, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.000 you know it was you would have loved it. That's 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.640 pretty awesome. It's like all those kind of first gig 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.760 jitters and it's like the total high school band, which 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.479 was kind of fun. That's so cool to think that 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.640 a high schooler is doing that with their time makes 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.440 me feel good. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't get my first bantil. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.919 I was like, yeah, yeah, but you're saying your whole life, Yeah, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.680 but I would not in that I was. I was. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.880 I mostly played with dolls, really, yeah, what was your 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.120 favorite doll? Oh? All of them. I used to cut 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.440 them open and do surgeries on them. And then stitch 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.040 them back up, which, um, a friend of mine once 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.440 encountered them in like a box years later and was alarmed, 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:53.120 right because they were stitched up. Horror? Yes, uh so 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.000 what like I had your dad in here, which was 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.080 Did you listen to that? By any chance? I listened 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.200 to it? Yeah, it was kind of cool, and I 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.359 thought very interest thing that he picked, Like, well, you 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.880 picked parenthood, which is like the sweetest like family story ever. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.000 He picked Tokyo story, which was like about this father 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.920 basically telling his children like, you've all disappointed me. Well, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.160 there's some overlap there. I feel like parenthood and that, 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.440 but yeah, that sounds about right. Well, we'll get to 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.120 parenthood a little bit. I was just kind of thought 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.360 that was funny story, like the most like a somber 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.880 downer movie of all time. Have you seen it? No? 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.400 You should watch it sometimes when you want to be 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.440 thoroughly sad, maybe write a song about it. All Right, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.800 how's the family though? Good? They're good. They're all good. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.880 My sister has two kids that are big now eight 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.520 and four, and my brother's kid is seven. He is 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.360 a son, a daughter, oh, a daughter. Okay, but everybody's fine. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.720 Ish you know, like kind of the same. Yeah, how's 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.960 your mom? She's good. We are about to do some 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.680 shows together with my dad, the three of Us Cool 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:10.119 next month, and those are always huh interesting. We're gearing 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.720 up for those. She's really into rehearsing, so we're currently 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.600 in hardcore rehearsing mode. Has she always been into rehearsing. Yes, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.040 she's a big rehearser I'm a little bit of a 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.600 like wing it. Yeah, let's just you know, but she's 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.520 not like that. So when I work with her, we 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.360 we really lock in. Yeah, and it pays off because 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.440 you know, we are very together when we play Yeah, 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.920 and the and the Roaches just had those tight, tight 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.680 harmonies Like that was kind of the thing I think 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.000 they started the rehearsing lockdown. You had to be really 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.440 rehearsed to do three parts of anything. Yeah. Sure, we're 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.040 doing a lot of rehearsing. And does you do do 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.800 all three sing together at any point? Yeah? Oh yeah. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.079 So well, when we do a show, the three of Us, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.040 my mom and I do the first maybe forty five minutes, 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.440 then he comes out and does forty five minutes, and 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.480 then we do together, and then you come back out 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:08.319 and do some more. Yeah, and I always say that, Um, well, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:09.960 I don't always say this, but I say it in 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.000 my head. I say it in my heart that I 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.760 used to be an elementary school teacher and when you'd 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.520 have the kids for the first maybe six weeks of school, 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.240 and you'd be like, okay, getting to know the kids, 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.280 and then a parent teacher conferences come, the parents come 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:30.240 in and you'll be like, oh, now I understand about 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.760 the children. And so the shows are kind of like 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.280 that for me because I'm there and both my parents 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:40.280 are there, so the audience can see what happened. That's 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.320 super interesting in a weird form of therapy. Probably maybe 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.160 it's a good way to spend time with your family 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.600 because you're getting paid. Man, that would make it all easier. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.680 We went on a cruise ship altogether as a family, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.360 and and that I feel like is the way to 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.880 take a cruise is to be paid. And that was 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:08.320 a waynewright family singing. It's a cruise called Kayamo, which 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.640 is a folk music cruise mostly, and actually it has 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:17.640 a subtitle it's called Kyamo a Journey Through Song. So 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.719 I'm glad at least you know how corny that. Yeah, 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.800 we took a journey through song together and Emma Lou 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:28.280 Harris was there, Richard Thompson and uh, Brandy Carlyle. A 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.160 lot of people go and then they're like three thousand 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.440 audience members on the boat, right, rubbin elbows, which you 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.360 had already done with the I talked your dad about 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.280 the train thing. Yeah, the train thing. This is like 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.640 a step up because you can't you really can't get 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.240 away because you're in the middle of ocean. So we 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.560 raised the stakes. And also my sister came, which she 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.960 hadn't been able to come to Alaska, so she came 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:54.320 on the boat. What about Um, have you ever been 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.800 on a cruise only then? Yeah, I did one, a 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.440 work cruise to I did the Maximun cruise, which was 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.920 comedians and performers, and I did a tribute thing with Hodgeman. Well, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.240 I had a lot of fun because the people we're awesome, 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.199 like Eugene Merman and Nick Thune and Wyatt Sinac and 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.160 Hodgeman and John Roderick and like a lot of my 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.280 pals were there and we just had a blast. But 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.200 I can't say that I would enjoy a cruise other 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.720 than that. Yeah, I I found myself wondering without the music, 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.400 what would you be doing? That's true. I mean those 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.560 pools gross me out because there's like a thousand people 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.800 trying to get in them. Yeah, most of the stuff 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.640 is grosses me out. The food. The way I described 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.280 it was because Emily was like, what's it like because 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.200 we're not cruisers, and I said, it's like someone took 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.480 a a tall building that was a shopping mall and 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.760 tipped it on its side and shoved it out to see. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.560 They should really put that in the ad. I was 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.079 not into it, though, I imagine, like in Alaska, cruise 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.559 might be a little more fun. There was something cool 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.680 about being out in the open ocean like that. I 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.040 had one moment at night like that where a bunch 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.160 of us went up to the top deck and I 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.160 had never been out to see so I was like, well, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.800 this is kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, And that that's 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.920 the thing about my job that I like that you 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.520 probably encounter two is like I probably would never ever 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.200 ever have taken a cruise in my whole life, but 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.800 then I ended up doing it for work, and I'm 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.320 glad because it was. Now I know so much about it. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.360 I have so many feelings about it, and the same 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.720 thing with other just or even visiting places multiple times. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.600 If I just had maybe like a two week vacation 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.000 to choose a place to go, I probably wouldn't go 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:46.559 back again and again to like Princeton, Illinois, for example. Yeah, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.600 did you just do a show there? I have done 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.800 a couple, but it's not really the kind of place 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.560 you would vacation normally. But I like that you get 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.960 to go because it's like cool, you see the world 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.160 that way. Yeah, we've done some shows. Like it's I'm 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.680 always pushing to do shows in places we haven't been yet, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.040 Like we always go back to Seattle, in Portland and 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.840 Boston and d C. And sort of the cities that 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.920 are really good for us. But we've been I've been 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.000 trying to knock off some of the uh, you know, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.440 flyover states as they say. So we went to Lawrence, Kansas. 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.240 It was great. It's so good that town. It really 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.240 reminded me of being in Athens, and like St. Louis 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.600 was cool. And have you done Iowa City? No, we 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.520 haven't been to Iowa. Iowa City, that's a good one. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.760 We just went to Salt Lake City and they were great. Yeah, 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.880 like they were. It was one of the best crowds 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.959 we've ever had as far as enthusiasm goes. And they 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:46.200 weren't even drinking. It was a dry video. They must 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.800 have really liked you. Then, uh. And then we did 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.640 Salt Lake City and Phoenix. We do like two shows 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:55.160 at a time. Not hard. It's not like grueling touring. Yeah, 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.120 it's good to get off the regular big city, but 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.880 you drive around. Yeah. I spend most of my time 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:07.360 in the car. Yeah, she's so good. Okay. I thought 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.800 she was here and I was like, man, if she 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.600 didn't bring that dog, No, I I flew here, so 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.600 she didn't. She used to fly when I worked with 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.120 you guys, and she was a teeny tiny puppy. I 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.960 flew back and forth times. But now she's too big 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.960 and you haven't gotten the designation is the comfort animal 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:29.240 or whatever? Well I may have, but I feel I 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.320 will you in order to Okay, Well, I don't know 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.920 how does that work? Okay, In order to get an 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:38.080 emotional service animal in the past, you have to take 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:43.280 a psychological test to see if you're well enough, which 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.920 I've passed passed in the which way I was unwell 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:52.320 enough for sure, and then they send you a psychiatrist 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.200 letter saying you need your dog. So I did that, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.080 but I feel too guilty to use it because it 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.640 just feels I mean, I I have used it a 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.920 couple of times, like if I'm driving late at night 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:05.920 and I can't find a hotel that allows dogs, but 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.680 we need a place to stay. I've done it with that. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.120 But some people I know have flown with their dogs 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.680 and stuff, and I would love to do that, but 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.040 I just feel like if anyone questioned me, I would 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.640 just burst into tears and be like, I'm sorry, I 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.040 shouldn't be taking my dog on the plane, which may 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.960 indicate to them that I need the dog. You're good, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.560 good dog? Yeah, I mean people, you definitely see people 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.760 that are clearly sort of taking advantage of that designation. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.400 Um or maybe not. I don't want to judge. I 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.520 don't either, but they certainly look like I just wanted 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.640 to bring my dog, yeah, which I totally get. Yeah. Yeah, 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.000 I love touring with Maybe. She's so good. Yeah, she's 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.040 a very very I got so lucky because she can 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.760 be left in a hotel room without ruining anything, she 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.080 can be left backstage anywhere. She just she's so exceedingly 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.560 lazy that she just like lies down and does nothing 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.240 during anything. She's perfect for going on the road and 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.320 I could have so easily ended up with a dog 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.080 who I love. Yeah, she was kind of made to 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.680 be her little buddy. Yeah, she's so great. Um. For 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.000 those of you listening, Lucy has a dog that she 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.040 got while she was working on our TV show and 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.800 I think one of our Jordans costroom, the wardrobe person. Yeah, 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.000 she found this dog like in the parking lot, in 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.720 the parking lot of I think. Is there something in 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:37.640 called the Big Chicken. It's an Atlanta thing, right, Yeah, Yeah, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.920 there's a it's a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Marietta that 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.120 has this giant it's an old school KFC that has 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.800 like a thirty foot chicken and it's a bit known 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.680 as the Big Chicken. That's where maybe it was found, Yeah, 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.200 in the parking lot. But chi, yeah, I gotta go 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.360 back there and visit, like and make a little pilgrimage 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.560 to the chicken. You'd be disappointed. She doesn't remember. I 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.440 don't think she's so good. She was teeny tiny then, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.159 she was like three months old and she was like 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.960 fifteen pounds now she's fifty pounds. I remember there was 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.040 so much consternation about whether or not you should keep 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.919 this dog, and you really had a hard time, and 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.359 I was just right next to you, going to keep 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.720 the dog. Yeah, you should keep the dog, because I 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.359 just wanted her to come to set every day. Totally. Yeah. 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.760 She was so good. She was so teeny tiny and 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.160 she's still so good and she Um. Yeah. I lived 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.280 in an apartment that didn't allow dogs at the time, 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:32.680 so I for the first few weeks I had to 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.080 bring her in and out of the apartment in a bag, 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.840 and so she learned that the bag was like the 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.240 portal to getting to pee, So if she had to pee, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.720 she would go and put her body halfway in the bag, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.879 like I need to go down stairs. And then I moved, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.639 so now she's allowed. Where do you live now? You're 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:56.040 in Brooklyn Stah in Clinton Hill, Clinton Hill? Yeah? Nice? Um, well, 0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:03.359 tell me about growing up a waynewright? Well? Um, what 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:08.320 was that like? It was? It was pretty good? Nothing, Yeah, 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.879 it was well, first of all, I grew up mostly 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.159 with my mom by myself, and so I was really 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.840 in the seat of the roach family a lot with 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.720 my aunts and my mom. They were touring a lot, 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.239 and I was touring with them a lot, and so 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:27.320 they were kind of my early early childhood. Um, main 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.199 people that I was with most of the time. And 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.399 then my dad lived in England when I was really little, 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:37.399 but then he came back to the States, and but 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.560 I would say as adults, oh, we definitely knew each 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.919 other well as when I was a kid, But as 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.199 adults we've spent a lot more time together than we 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.760 did when I was a kid. So it wasn't like 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.080 when you were a little kid, it was you and 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.520 mom and dad and Martha and Rufus all like, you know, 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.560 every day hanging out. No, it was Martha and Rufus 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.159 were up in Canada with their mom. We have have 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.280 a good setup in the family. It's like everybody has 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.280 their own mom almost like my younger sister has her 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.679 own mom, and then I have my own mom, and 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.040 then Martha and Rufus they had to share. And your 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.000 dad's just the fulkm. Yeah, and it's cool because like, 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.399 you know, that's cool to get your own mom. Yeah 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:20.880 you know, yeah, I've got my own mom and so um, yeah, 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.240 they were up in Canada. With their mom. And I 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.600 was with my mom in New York and we all 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.919 the kids were together for holidays sometimes and summers and 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.000 with my dad and but my dad and my mom 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.800 were very close always throughout my life. So that's good. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.200 Would hang out a lot. Yeah, that's uh, that's good. 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:45.160 I wonder what that's like. Yeah, they I was never 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.639 bummed about my parents not being together, I think because 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.040 it like seemed like, well, this seems good, you know, 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.760 like I was hanging out with my mom, I like that, 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.960 and then my dad came around and we'd all go 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.120 out to dinner and it was fine and no one 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.440 was stressed out, and yeah, it's really good. Yeah. Um, 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.560 you grew up in New York though, right, Yeah in 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.639 Greenwich Village. Wow, the best place in the world. It 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.400 is pretty great, although it's kind of like a fancy 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.520 mall right now, Well, like what area like Bleaker Street 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:18.240 used to be pretty interesting, you know, guitar stores and 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:23.960 and now it's like all Mark Jacobs, you know, like 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.600 stores that are very very expensive. But John's Pizza is 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.240 still there and that's what really counts because that's where 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.160 I used to go for my birthday parties. And if 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:33.960 you are ever in New York. You should go to 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.800 John's Pizza on Bleaker Street. It's so good. There's some 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.320 place in the village, and I think it was near 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.159 the school that you taught at. Didn't you teach over there? 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:42.679 Or maybe you went through the school I went to 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.600 a couple of schools. That was the best egg rolls 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.080 I've ever had. Was a little Chinese place kind of 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.439 over near there. I think I wonder where it was, 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.200 and I will go down there, because you know, I mean, 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.920 for me, an egg roll is got to be a 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.320 very specific kind of egg roll, like the big, huge, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:03.160 dimply Onind's Okay, um, not the more spring roll types 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.480 right right right, like the little cheap egg rolls. Yeah, 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.920 the look on your face says, not those no, no, no, 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:14.640 like the big, big daddy simple egg rolls. Well, you'll 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.320 have to take me there next time you come to 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.600 it down I will. I feel like you're never there 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.800 when I'm there. I know I'm never there is part 0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.920 of the problem. Um, And where does maybe stay when 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:28.960 you're gone? She stays with um my mom sometimes, or 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.960 we have sort of a patchwork collection of people who 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.760 take care of her, or she comes with me, so 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.359 she's very she has many different New York City apartments. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.560 She's very malleable though she always has been. I feel 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.639 like I've got this house, that house, this person, that person. 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.640 That's good. It's got many mothers. Whereas we all had 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:51.199 our own mother, she's got so many mothers. She's just 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.280 like a cat with all these mothers, um not that 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.320 have taken on her full care. She has. Well, my 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.000 stepdad Stewart, did you ever meet to her? I think so. 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.160 He and my mom lived together, and she loves him 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.880 and so maybe stays with them. I feel like your 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:11.080 mom's old dog has passed, right, she did? Yeah, sorry 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.679 to hear that. Friend. She for example, could not have 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.040 gone on the road ever. Yeah, she was every time 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.640 you get her in the car, she just stress breathe. Yeah, 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:23.879 maybe something seems to always be sort of chilling with 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.639 that one ear up. She's chilling, which means also she 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.920 won't do anything. When you take her to the park, 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.800 she sits down, Yeah, and looks at the other dogs 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.040 like why are I know? You must really like to 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.800 come here. Does she get along with other dogs? Yeah, 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:42.680 she's a little bit um on the doggie spectrum, perhaps 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:46.480 like she she doesn't fight with other dogs, but she's 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:48.880 kind of like what dogs, you know, if they come 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.600
