28
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: left the house in a while, I will go and

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: try and experience something so I I have something to

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: share with you. But I didn't have to try hard today.

31
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: It's something very exciting happened. I'm very excited to share

32
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: with you. What is it. I went golfing. I promised

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: this isn't a golfing story. But I hit There's one

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: hole there that's real short, it's a three par hole,

35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: and before it there's a couple mounds of grass, so

36
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: you can't really see the flag. And I saw tiny

37
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: coyote like it looked like an actual puppy, and it

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: was like pouncing playfully. It's before coyotes get mange and

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: they get upset and then they don't they really don't

40
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: want to be around people. But he was very a

41
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: frisky coyote. And I hit the ball. I could not

42
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: see the ball went behind these mounds and then but

43
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I saw exactly the direction it went. It went to

44
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: the left of the green, and I knew I probably

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: didn't land on it again, and I ran up the

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: I saw the little coyote run off after I hit.

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: I thought, oh no, I wonder if I got close

48
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: to him. He got scared and I went. As I

49
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: walked up, my ball was right by the hole, Karen,

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I know this coyote picked up my ball. He understood

51
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the rules of golf, and he had it in his

52
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: little mouth, and he dropped it near the hole. And

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if rules wise, I if that is

54
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: a playable ball. I think so. I think it's a

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: It's the same as if it bounced off a tree

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: and went near the hole. I swear I did not

57
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: see him do it. I wish I did, but I'm

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: very certain. I'm ninety percent certain this cute little coyote

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: puppy had my ball in his mouth.

60
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: What if you actually got hitley hit? Listen to my theory,

61
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: because there's another way to look at this. What if

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: you got a hole in one and that coyote took

63
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: the ball out of the hole.

64
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: See nice, I did the hole. They when they get older,

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I can tell they are not fans of golf, and

66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: we are just there and they don't even respect us.

67
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: They don't. They will hang out on purpose and act

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: like they're bathing, because we know those coyotes they don't

69
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: really they're not worried about looking sharp. They're not a fan.

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: You're saying, a young coyote is going to help you

71
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: before it gets cynical, before it learns the ways.

72
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: Of the before he listens to the pack. Exactly, this

73
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: baby coyote was still had this hopeful. I just love it.

74
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: And I of course went online and there's a lot

75
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: of footage of little coyotes they're always young, playing with

76
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: golf balls in the dark and some I just I'm

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: so excited by it. I just wish I could have

78
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: seen it.

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: That was like your own little legend of bager Vance

80
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: coyote version.

81
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if it gave me life advice? Right when

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: I came up like a.

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: Justin land, right as you walk up to the ball, Well, congratulations.

84
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I thank you. I think they are in order. Congratulations,

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I think they are due. And I did par that.

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: If that's a good ending, I think it's because.

87
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: The words are meaningless to me. I don't know.

88
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: It is the goal of golf.

89
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: Get it in three, you got it in two?

90
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it in three. If it was a birdie, boy,

91
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: that would Oh my god, what if a bird swept

92
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: down and grabbed my ball?

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: And then what birdie? That? What if they're all so

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: used to you guys golfing at that golf course that

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: they all know how to help you numbers wise?

96
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love I would love it if there's

97
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: a parrot somewhere that yells four four, That, of course,

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: is when a ball's heading towards you, a helpful parrot.

99
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: I just you know me, I got an animal fever.

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,280

00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: not like that. I hugged him, and he had a

105
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: classic Spuds Mackenzie bud light face and he lunched at me.

00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: want I want him to have helped you so badly.

147
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Now.

148
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: Also, I love that you were searching a very specific

149
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: search when you found many videos of baby coyotes playing

150
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: with golf balls.

151
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's common because they are I see them, and

152
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: we see we've just gotten used to. Sure there's rattlesnakes also,

153
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: which you know we avoid those. But the coyote do

154
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: not want to be our friend, and I want them

155
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: to be because a lot of them are really dog

156
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: like and cute, not that they have to be cute

157
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: for me to like them animals.

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: I once found a coyote who was just asleep on

159
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: the side of the road in Griffith Park and so

160
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: I called and I was like, something's wrong, and so

161
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: I called Animal Control.

162
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: First, I called nine one one and they're like stop

163
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and then.

164
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: And what's your emergency. Well, it's more of a concern.

165
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: We got a sleeping coyote where I am and I

166
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: think he's having nightmares.

167
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: And so I waited. So then I got in touch

168
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: with the animal control. They're like, we'll send a park ranger.

169
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: Whatever we send. And then while I'm waiting.

170
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: He he just like wakes up, stands up, and trots off.

171
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: And then as he trots into the woods, like the

172
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: Animal Control pulls up and I'm standing.

173
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: He's like did you call? And I was like, he

174
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: just walked away. He's like, yeah, of course he did.

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: And then he just drove away. Oh wow, he bother

176
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: what if.

177
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: That is like a pranking coyote? And he's like he's

178
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: just trying to mess with that Animal Control guy because

179
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: he's the enemy.

180
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing we've learned I think is they

181
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: love pranking humans. Yeah, they are the guy upset Usually

182
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: he has to scrape up roadkill with a shovel. He

183
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: should have been delighted. Yeah, probably took care of itself. Pal.

184
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: It's that's the first thing I thought of. When you

185
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: said I saw coyote sleeping next to the side of

186
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: the road, I'm like, oh, no, that's just what Lauren

187
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: told you, that he was dead. It sounded like someone

188
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: was really trying to keep you from the harsh Yeah,

189
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: the harsh reality is of Griffith Park.

190
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: They nap all the time. Usually it's on a nearby ranch, Kurt,

191
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: they go off to a ranch to ranch, I mean,

192
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I know about it. Look out with it on bananas.

193
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: What's has there been any weird what's your favorite animal

194
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: related bananas? I mean, there's so many animals.

195
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: We want to make t shirts that say birds but

196
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: holes bananas because it's mostly birds, butt and butt whole stories.

197
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: What's my favorite? Oh, my favorite.

198
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: One of my favorite animal stories is there was a

199
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: crow in Oregon. It showed up at a elementary school

200
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: and came in through a window into a science class

201
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: and then was just like sitting, like jumping from people's

202
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: kid's desk to kid's desk. They put a little hat

203
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: on it and it was totally okay with it. There's

204
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 3: like a photograph of it wearing a tiny hat and

205
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: it was talking and it was talking, it was saying words,

206
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: and it was cursing a lot. And so because a

207
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: lot of people don't know the crows can talk, but

208
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: crows are hyper smart than they and a lot of

209
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: them can talk if they're humanized or whatever it's called.

210
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, which all you have to do to

211
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: do that is put a hat on them. It's called humanized, Karen.

212
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, once you put a.

213
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Hat on it, it's humanized. Okay, it's a trade.

214
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,239
Speaker 2: It makes a sound and then it's humanized.

215
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: And the story behind it, So all these kids were

216
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: like fascinated, and you know, the teacher was fascinated.

217
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: They had to call. They called a bunch of people

218
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and like animal control wouldn't come, and then wildlife rescue

219
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: started to come. But then a kid who was not

220
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: in that class recognized the crow and was like, that's

221
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: my neighbor's crow friend, like not her crow. So what

222
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: had happened?

223
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: This is the craziest story is that this woman who

224
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: lived like twenty miles away. She fed this crow every day.

225
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like her pet or anything. It was

226
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: a wild crow. But she would feed it and talk

227
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: to it, and it could talk, and it was very

228
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: smart and everything. But it really annoyed her neighbor. So

229
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 3: when she went out of town for the weekend, her

230
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: neighbor kidnapped the fucking bird and drove it like fifty

231
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: miles away and led it off somewhere because it didn't

232
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: want the because you know, the woman said, the bird

233
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: would go after the neighbor a lot, because the bird

234
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: saw the neighbor as like the threat to her friend.

235
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do that. Crows will shit on you. They like,

236
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: out of your jib, dive bomb you. And then the

237
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: bird slowly made its way back towards the area, but

238
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: didn't know where his friend was, and he was lost.

239
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: But he found a Planet Fitness and he stood, this

240
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: is so crazy. He stood on top of the Planet

241
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: Fitness the door and just talked to everyone who was

242
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: going in and out of the Planet Fitness until he

243
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: saw a friend of the woman who was coming out

244
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: and then taking her son to school. Followed that woman's

245
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: car and then followed the boy who was the son

246
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: of the friend of the woman who knew the crow.

247
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: And then the woman came and picked up the crow

248
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: and brought it home. Holy shit, Oh my lord, that's crest.

249
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: Was it that crazy? I like that, and correct me

250
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. This whole crow story doesn't involve him

251
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: flying at any point. It's mostly vehicular travel and hat

252
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: wearing and.

253
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: And crow napping, tons of crow naps.

254
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: I want him to have gotten on top of the

255
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: planet fitness, to have used a.

256
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Ladder, and then a helicopter picked him up and drove

257
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: him back to his old neighborhood. There's women on Ticked,

258
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: or there's a woman, I should say on TikTok who

259
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: did a thing where she was feeding crows and they

260
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: kept more and more kept coming into the tree in

261
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: her front yard, bringing her presence, which is my favorite

262
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: when they bring little shiny things like here, you like this,

263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: it's a bottle cap, which is the cutest. But then

264
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: she was like, as she walks, they follow her up

265
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: the streets. So it like if you were I would

266
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: just imagine like a fourteen year old goth doing this,

267
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: and then you have like an army of crows walking

268
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: behind you. Awesome, Like it would be a dream come true.

269
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for me.

270
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: And they can communicate to other crows what you look like,

271
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: so you could go into a new neighborhood and the

272
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: new crows would come flocking to you that she's.

273
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: Great, you'll get really good corn or whatever crow phone.

274
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: I oh my god, how did they do that? How

275
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: is that proven? How did they communicate with each other?

276
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Until they do? They describe what you're wearing?

277
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: There was That was another story where it was like

278
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: they showed like they had one group of crows where

279
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: like a guy would harass them all the time, and

280
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: then another one where another guy would like give them

281
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: treats all the time. And then they like went to

282
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: a separate I don't know murder of crows that was nearby,

283
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: and that murder had communicated what the guy looked like

284
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: who harassed them, so that they started harassing the guy

285
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: who harassed the other Murder of crows. It was crazy.

286
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: It's straight up. I don't know how they I don't

287
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: know how they do it. I mean they obviously they talk.

288
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: They can talk.

289
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: You know how they do it? Gossip?

290
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's biggest.

291
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: They get little little kitchen tables and they sit around

292
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: and they talk massive shit.

293
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Oh god, I hope it was a top hat.

294
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: That's just it was a little Santa's hat, That's what

295
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: it because it was around Christmas time.

296
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: And what bold child? I that the idea of doing that,

297
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: putting a hat on a crow. Actually that's a that

298
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: kid had.

299
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean the crow was sitting on their

300
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: desks and just being like, eat my ass because it

301
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: was cursing a lot.

302
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Is that really what it was saying.

303
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was saying, eat my ass.

304
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: It was cursing. It was cursing. I know that because

305
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: the woman puted him up was like, well he does.

Speaker 3: He does curse a lot. He does have a film.

307
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: And if you if anyone doubts a single word, I

311
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: It really is. I thought you were gonna say some no,

312
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: it's like I thought you were going to say, if

313
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: you want to do it, you can google News of

314
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: the Coast or whatever, where it's like uh huh, good yep,

315
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: but it's really the most legit newspaper of the Pacific Northwest.

316
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: I could talk animal stories from bananas for forever, forever.

317
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Really, I mean, it is what I asked of you.

318
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: And that is the joy of that podcast to me.

319
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: It's just kind of like weird news. You go, oh yeah,

320
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: I love I love that. I love the idea of it.

321
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: It's it's delightful. You kind of can hear what's going

322
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: on in the world, but it's not all the stuff

323
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: that makes you to have a heart attack. But there's

324
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: so much of it that there's now at this point,

325
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: you guys have been doing it for.

326
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Through three three years, three years.

327
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: But now it's like all these sub categories. It's like

328
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: this again, one of these Like there's so many subcategories

329
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: of weird news. It's amazing.

330
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the you know, Last of Us,

331
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: the Last of Us, which is all about like their

332
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: zombies are like fungus instead of being what it usually

333
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: it's a virus.

334
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: And I was immediately like.

335
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, because there was one we did about

336
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: bees which was there's like a fungus that infects bees,

337
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: it kills them, it kills them, then takes over their

338
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: brain and makes them have sex with as many other

339
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: bees as they possibly can until they sent until their

340
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: bodies disintegrate, just to pass the fungus on to other bees.

341
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: And so there's zombie bees that are just fucking constantly

342
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 3: and it's crazy. So like that whole last of us

343
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: thing is totally from like you know.

344
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: From bees, yes, from science.

345
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: From science. Well, Kurk, can you tell us your best

346
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: butthole story?

347
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 3: My best but well, that's that's a pretty good butthole

348
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: story because the fungus actually becomes their butthole.

349
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: But kind of sounds like you're lying a little bit,

350
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: just you know what I mean, Like that sounded like

351
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: a fifth grade lie where you're just like going with

352
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: what Chris said.

353
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: You had me until fungus bu hole fun because that's

354
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: exactly they I swear to God, that's part of it.

355
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: The bottom half of the bee becomes the fungus and

356
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 3: so it like it like that's where it is. It

357
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: just the whole bee is fungus at that point and

358
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: it's you know, shoving it into places.

359
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to think the best buttthhole story. Ooh,

360
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: that's a good one.

361
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean, like we used to have when we first

362
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: did the original, like the thing that like the pilot

363
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: that this was based on, we did a whole segment

364
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: called What's Up Your Butt?

365
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: And it was just X.

366
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: Ray scans from emergency rooms of things that had been

367
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: removed from people's butts. And we've seen a lot of those,

368
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: but still the most surprising one is a full buzz

369
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 3: light Year action figure, which I'm still I'm still confused

370
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: as to how because it has arms that go out

371
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: like this.

372
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: You can understand the dome part, but then the arms.

373
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: Are sticking up like this, you know, because he's saying

374
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 3: to infinity and beyond. So that was the joke, was

375
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: to infinity and be ouch a.

376
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: So that's probably one of my favorite butthole ones. Oh God,

377
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: love it. When you did that segment, did you play

378
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy's song put a Little Man in Your Book?

379
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that song.

380
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: In your butt?

381
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: Put a Tiny Tree in your Butt? It's my sister

382
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: and I had the list memorized. We lived in a

383
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: small town. There wasn't a lot to do. Yeah, and uh,

384
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: it was the whole list of things that you could,

385
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: according Daddy Murphy, put in your in.

386
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: Your butt, put a put a whole rubber band in

387
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: your butt, and it's very It was very catchy. It

388
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: was very well written.

389
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, God just lock him in a room with

390
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: uh coked up who did all that music with him?

391
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: He spent like the weekend with Rick James. I think

392
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: oh really made all those songs.

393
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you're a party all the time and

394
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 2: all that.

395
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: What were your favorite as kids?

396
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 3: Like, what were your favorite comedy albums that that happened

397
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: to listen to?

398
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: Man Delirious I listened to and that's right when walkmans

399
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: came out. So I have a very distinct memory of

400
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: being on like the volleyball bus and my friend Patti

401
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: Leoni snapped off one of the like you on your walkman,

402
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: you could snap off us speaker and give it to

403
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: somebody else and like then reattach it later. What you

404
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: weren't breaking anything, And so we just held she had

405
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: hers on, and then I held the thing up and

406
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: we listened to that thing. Because we would always we

407
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: were tiny high school, so we'd have to go play

408
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: other tiny high schools, so we'd have to drive like

409
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: up the you know, California coast, up into like point

410
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: Arena and up by Eureka and like so far away

411
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: just to find another school that was also tiny and

412
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: bad at sports, and so you know, we'd like listened

413
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: to the whole thing both sides a couple times, like

414
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: there and back or whatever. So it was groundbreaking because

415
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: it truly it wasn't like I felt like all the

416
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: comedy I'd seen up till that point was like evening

417
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: at the improv kind of mild everyone out of blaze.

418
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: It was very like you can tell this joke at

419
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: work or whatever, and it just felt so different, and

420
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 2: it was just so genuinely hilarious. I just loved it.

421
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: I remember watching that I Guess on cable when Yeah,

422
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: like over and over and over and raw delirious and

423
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: raw over and over and over and over. Oh man,

424
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with both of those.

425
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: He's so good.

426
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm almost embarrassed that my first album comedy album that

427
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: I knew was Andrew dice Clay because it was on Yeah.

428
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: He was on Deaf Jam Deaf American, and so maybe

429
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: that's how I found out about it. There was older

430
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: kids in my neighborhood that were listening to it, but

431
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: it was the same thing. You're saying, Karen, it was like,

432
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: if you're used to the Blazer comedy of Late Night

433
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: MTV half hour Comedy Hour with Mario Joyner, it's insane

434
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: that someone's talking about squirting shampoo on the floor because

435
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: he loves pert. I don't actually a lot of the stuff.

436
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: I bet if I listened to it now, none of

437
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: it would hit me the same way, but that it

438
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: just happened to be the first.

439
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: You don't think nurse dirty nursery rhymes would hold on?

440
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: I know what. I never was into the und I'm like,

441
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: this seems a little juvenile, and I was fifteen, But yeah,

442
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: some of the stories like him getting very angry about

443
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: expensive shampoos, so it would take the part shoot and

444
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: shoot it all over the floor like someone's load. I

445
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: take the joboba, So it was like a about him

446
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: stealing shampoo actually, and I just thought, how hilarious to

447
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: focus on that and tell it to a crowd of people.

448
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't like the rhyming. I've never liked rhyming.

449
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: I think the only actual tape I had, though, was

450
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: Adam Sandler's do you remember that?

451
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right?

452
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: I wishes it was mostly and songs so it wasn't

453
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: stand up or anything. And it was the first time

454
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: I heard sketch comedy. I think, yeah, I think you're right. Yeah,

455
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: the goat in the back of the truck, there was

456
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: a gut. He did all the voices. There was other

457
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: people in it.

458
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I remembered.

459
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: One where like he bought a bag of weed from

460
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: a guy, but it was pencil shavings.

461
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: And that's all I remember, Like that is the extent

462
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: that I remember.

463
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: I would listen to it over and over and over again,

464
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: and I remember one word, like four words for one sketch.

465
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so funny that at that time though, I yeah,

466
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I did not realize comedy albums were

467
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: a thing. I just didn't you didn't know that.

468
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember watching that whole like uh, like a

469
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: live at the improvs and stuff, and I don't know,

470
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: and I still want and maybe you guys have heard

471
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: this joke and know what comedian this was. But I

472
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: remember I was by thirteen. I saw this on like

473
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: some variety show.

474
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: It was.

475
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: The joke was it was a dude, white dude in

476
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: a blazer and he said, I was at the airport

477
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: and I went to go to the use the bathroom,

478
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: but they had a sign up that said please use

479
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 3: floor below, and they didn't even put down paper or

480
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: anything but that.

481
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: I would laugh at that. I'm afraid if someone said

482
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: it tomorrow, even having you heard you say it just now.

483
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: I love that Steve Middleman bit for real.

484
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: I want. I wanted so bad to be like Gary

485
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: Mulder Dear. I just immediately know know the tomic by

486
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: the most obscure airport jokes.

487
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: I know, I was actually getting excited there. I'm like,

488
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I bet, I bet, I know who it is. Damn,

489
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't.

490
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: I have one that maybe you guys can identify. That's

491
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: one of my favorite, or I shouldn't say my favorite.

492
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: It's almost like the first stuff I saw.

493
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: I loved.

494
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: I loved it all. I loved the people were doing it.

495
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: There didn't seem to be any it was like they're

496
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: making it up right now, that idea where like everything

497
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: about it seems so magical. But there was a guy

498
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: that did this joke where he's at the grocery store

499
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 2: and he says he he has all of his groceries

500
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: and the last thing he has on the conveyor belt

501
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: is a package of toilet paper, and then when he

502
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: gets up to the when the woman's checking him out,

503
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: he says to her, so for all of this, how

504
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: much of like he's holding up the toilet paper, how

505
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: much of this do I need for this? Is this enough?

506
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: This?

507
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: And he just keeps doing it.

508
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: You know who that guy is?

509
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: He was kind of he was blonde, He was kind

510
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: of just like a regular guy looking. But I think

511
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: about that joke all the time where I'm like, that's

512
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: the you know, when you're trying to write comedy and

513
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: you can't think of anything, and then you just start

514
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: thinking of, well, like that's so easy, it's simple. Everyone

515
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: can relate to it. And then you're just sort of like,

516
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: why can't I think of it? Like like, where's my

517
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: conveyor belt? Toilet paper?

518
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah joke, And little did you know you would have

519
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: dozens of them by the time you were thirty.

520
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: It's my true inspiration.

521
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: It seems crazy to me, But the one comic that

522
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I saw on one of those shows late at Night

523
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: that I related to was Jay Moore because he had

524
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: on a leather jacket and a Bad Brains T shirt.

525
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: And it's like, there's a comedian that listens to Bad Brains.

526
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy. Yeah, he actually did. He produced some

527
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: documentary about Bad Brains just recently I noticed, but I

528
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: don't know.

529
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: But he was also a great stand up. He had

530
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: great jokes, did amazing impressions, Like he was great.

531
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's crazy to me that I saw a

532
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: version of him with like long surfer hair and a

533
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Bad Brains T shirt and a leather jacket, like he

534
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: was trying that lookout. And he was also young. He

535
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: was like one of the youngest comics I'd ever seen

536
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: on one of those shows. Like, so thank you Jaymore

537
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: for being my inspiration into getting into comedy.

538
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: The week I started comedy, like I had wanted to

539
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: do it, and I was hanging out at this one

540
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: like it wasn't really an open mic night. It was

541
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: kind of booked, but there was like a bunch. It

542
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: was like twelve comics a showcase night, I guess. But

543
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: and I hung out there for like almost over a

544
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: month before I could get up the gets to do it.

545
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: And then when I finally did it, I'm like, I'm

546
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: it's so original, Like I was convinced I was the

547
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: only person like me to be doing stand up comedy.

548
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: In the way I was doing it. And a week

549
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: later I saw Janie Garoffalo on half hour Comedy Hour

550
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: and I just stood up and started crying and walked

551
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: out of the room, and all my friends were like, oh, Karen,

552
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: poor kid, And it was like, I was like, there

553
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: was no reason for me to be doing stand up

554
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: comedy anymore if she's doing it, like she had black

555
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: tights and cut off jeans over her black tights and

556
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: combat boots and like, you know, a cool shirt or

557
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: whatever and cool everything, like that's what I wanted to

558
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: be like, And then she was doing her amaze, saying

559
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: jokes like when she's saying to the waiter like tapping

560
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: a wrist, like what time is it? And he's like, yes,

561
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: was what is it? And she's like, oh, what bone

562
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: is this? She's what else would she be asking? But

563
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: what time is it? And he's liked, can I help

564
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: you out?

565
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: Yes?

566
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: What bone is this? Like stuff like that, and then

567
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, forget it. I don't I

568
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing this. Literally started crying, and my friend's

569
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: made fun of me so hard because it's just like,

570
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, how old.

571
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: Are I was?

572
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: Twenty?

573
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Uh? That's crushing. It was.

574
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: It was terrible.

575
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially at twenty. I can't believe you tried it

576
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 3: at twenty. I didn't try stand up until I was

577
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: twenty nine.

578
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: I was very old. Yeah. Oh quote unquote you can

579
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: start any time, right, because you can't.

580
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: I had just flunked out of college, so it was

581
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: almost like it was my last gasp of doing anything

582
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: at all before I was like, Okay, I'll just be

583
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: a gut or drunk right, never do anything else with

584
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: my life. So it was kind of like I had

585
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: to really paint myself into a corner. So it wasn't

586
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: like a cool plan like had all this great you know,

587
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: I was doing great stuff and I was working up

588
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: to it or whatever. It's like, well, if I'm not

589
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: in college, maybe maybe my parents will like it if

590
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: I do stand up comedy. Just like, no, it's not

591
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: a solution.

592
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, where Yeah, what were your parents like what you

593
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: said you wanted to be a comic current were they supportive?

594
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure if my dad knows. I think

595
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: he knows. I think he knows. I'm sure he knows maybe,

596
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: And I think my mom. My mom was just.

597
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: So she was so supportive without ever understanding anything that

598
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: I did. Do you know what I mean that it

599
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: just was like slotted in with everything else. You know,

600
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: at least you're not wearing a phone cord as a

601
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: belt anymore. Like that's sure what she was thinking, like,

602
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 3: that's fine, Okay.

603
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: Did you just rip it off an old phone one day?

604
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: Like was up your punk rock era?

605
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: It sure was? It sure was had a it would

606
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: be a classic outfit. Would it be a phone cord?

607
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 3: And it was a curly Q phone cord around my waist,

608
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: just tied with a wean a ripped Wien shirt and

609
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: purple hair and that was.

610
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.

611
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: Yep, that was that was And honestly she she missed

612
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: most of the worst haircuts because I was at college

613
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: when I did them. At one point I had a

614
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: completely shaved head with just at I left the front

615
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: and the front just this like little a coxcomb of

616
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: hair in the front that I would then sculpt into

617
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: two horns with pamad like like an hant sniffing out

618
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,120

00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: was that a medical situation?

626
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: No, that's what I wonder it was not. I mean

627
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I was not meet pre med. I was a philosophy.

628
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: So you know the classic place you go for an

629
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: English philosophy degree, Johnson's University. I like to be in

630
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: a minority wherever I go, of what other people are doing. Yeah,

631
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: there was like four other four other people that were

632
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: also doing that and we all lived together, but we.

633
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: Were definitely like not. The campus was very pre made.

634
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was a big building on campus that

635
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: Bloomberg had paid for Mike Bloomberg, and it was just

636
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 3: like we are making weapons.

637
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: WHOA. So yeah, So I think now it's a lot different,

638
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: Like there's a theater department now, I think at Johns Hopkins.

639
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: But when I was there, it was just like all

640
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 3: the plays, we were just putting them on by ourselves.

641
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: And what why was that your I imagine you got

642
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: good grades, so you had a choice if you got

643
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 2: into Johns Hopkins.

644
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: You know, I think I only got into two places.

645
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: I got into Johns Hopkins in Middlebury, and I decided

646
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: to go to Johns Hopkins. Yeah, my dad had gone

647
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: there and that was what I was. He was gonna

648
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 3: help me if I went there.

649
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, okay, yes I will, I'll go.

650
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: I'll go there and the thing you don't want me

651
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: to do, it'll.

652
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: Be yeah, it'll be great. I well I can.

653
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: I can study useless things anywhere, pay for it.

654
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Everything that I wanted to do in college, they

655
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: started those programs. Like the year I graduated, they all

656
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden there's a new building and they're like, oh, yeah,

657
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: we teach pre film, animation, graphic design, everything I wanted

658
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: to do prior to that. They're like, you can either

659
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: teach art history or become a studio painter and try

660
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: and do shows gallery shows. And I'm like, I don't.

661
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: I want to draw things and get them in magazines

662
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, we don't know anything about that.

663
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: And then all that you yeah, yeah. I was like

664
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: I should have taken a break and then come back,

665
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: because yeah, now there's like a full on people put

666
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: out animated films there. Just it's amazing to think of

667
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 1: like if I had started making things at a younger

668
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: age that because like then I left, I left school

669
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: and then just started improvising. I was just improvising from

670
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: like twenty two to twenty nine and not making a

671
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: goddamn thing. I just wish I was making things earlier,

672
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: you know.

673
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: I was just I had convinced myself that improv was

674
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: like like some It was just like jazz man is

675
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: the only art form that exists that is just created

676
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: on the spot and it doesn't have a record, you know,

677
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: Like I thought it was like so noble that I

678
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 3: had nothing to show for seven years of work.

679
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: Ye.

680
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is because it was the nineties, right or

681
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: two thousands, yeah, early two thousands, Yeah, early two thousands.

682
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: I think that is what it was like pre internet mentality,

683
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: and I came up in the midst of it where

684
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: it's like, no matter what you did, you were a

685
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: sellout unless you basically, you know, did exactly that, like

686
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: did a thing that wasn't recorded, did a thing that

687
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: wasn't rehearsed, did a thing that wasn't Nobody was paying you,

688
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: like that was the only way to get invisible cred.

689
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: And then social media came along and it's like, Nope,

690
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: we're all going to make some money and we're all

691
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: gonna be nice to each other. Get used to it.

692
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 2: It's a completely it's a one eighty, everybody.

693
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: It was a it's a real one eighty.

694
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: It took me so long to not see telling people

695
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: that I was performing as bragging.

696
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Right?

697
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 3: It took me so long to see promote self promotion

698
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 3: as not like being braggy about what I was just

699
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: like it was like, yeah, like ten years, ten years, yeah, definitely, yes, yeah,

700
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: I still struggle with that, and it's so bad.

701
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: I can't post another stand up clip. People are gonna

702
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: think I'm riddled with confidence.

703
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: Here's what I think is interesting though, after all this time.

704
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: My biggest regret because it took me a really long

705
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: time to ever take an improv of class. That turned

706
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: out to be my biggest fear because I've a lot

707
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: of control issues and I like to see things exactly

708
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: how I see it, and then basically that's it. So

709
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: stand up comedy is perfect, right because and then you're

710
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: getting like applause for that, like he says, only my idea,

711
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: it's only me, And so improv is like the opposite

712
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: of that, and I was just like that, I can't

713
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: do it, like there's no way. And my friend tricked

714
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: me into doing an improv class with her because she's like,

715
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 2: just come with me, you can audit, and I'm like, oh,

716
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: all right, I don't have anything else to do. So

717
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: I went and the teachers immediately like no, no auditing,

718
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: get up here, and I was like, this is like

719
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: but I couldn't say that because it seems so unreasonable

720
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: and kind of crazy where I'm like, this is my

721
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: version of like of like jumping off a cliff or

722
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: something like I can't do this. This is horrifying to me.

723
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: And the first scene that I was ever in, I

724
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: just went to one side of the stage started flipping burgers,

725
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: but like like as if I was dying, just kind

726
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: of like ugh, and the guy walked in and I

727
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 2: just slowly turned my back so that it's like stop.

728
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 2: Chris Barnes, amazing improv teacher, he was like, Karen, stops that.

729
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 2: Why won't you acknowledge the person in your if you

730
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: made it so that it's a hamburger stand, why won't

731
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: you talk to the customer. I'm like, I don't know,

732
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: I just don't want to, like it was all my

733
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: instincts were perfectly incorrect, and it was it really was hard.

734
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: And then once I started doing it, I was like,

735
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: oh shit, this is like how you're supposed to be

736
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: in the world. Like yes, anding reality and like being

737
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: in it with other people and seeing what they bring

738
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: and reacting, not planning ahead and not like you know,

739
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: controlling everything, but just going with what's happening, which is

740
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: so much harder than it sounds for some people in life.

741
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, up to that point, even in life, you were

742
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: no budding.

743
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: I know, butted the fuck out of things. It was

744
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: my way.

745
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: And also stand up is a no butt at almost

746
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 3: the whole time. And I found it because I started

747
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 3: doing stand up after doing seven years of improv and

748
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: I was teaching improv. You know, it was like my

749
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: whole life I struggled so much. It was like stand

750
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: up was such a different brain that I was just like,

751
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 3: I'm a very good impromiser. This is gonna be easy,

752
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: and get up there. And my first five minutes was

753
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 3: too like you know, dead, like not a single joke worked,

754
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is a lot of material

755
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: to not work.

756
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a row.

757
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: In a row it and I was like, it had

758
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: I had to like rebuild my brain for it. And

759
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: once I had rebuilt my brain, I stopped doing improv. Yeah,

760
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: it's I for a long time when I moved to Austin,

761
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: because I moved there because of the big stinking Improv Festival.

762
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if either of you heard of that.

763
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: I remember it just a couple of years, but that's

764
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: my group went there, and that's when I got introduced

765
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: to stand up. And so when I moved there, I

766
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I can do both, because they would

767
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: have like improv at eight and then nine o'clock there's

768
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: stand up, and I'd be on both shows. And I

769
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: did that for a while, but I realized there was

770
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: like there was nights I was able to do stand

771
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: up and absolutely it could not do improv and then

772
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: vice versa. It's just obviously a different part of your brain.

773
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: If you're feeling loose and playful, I don't you would

774
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: think that would be helpful for stand up too, but

775
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: I never did well at both in the same night. Ever. Yeah,

776
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: it's always alternate.

777
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very I've also seen some improvisers do

778
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: stand up and eat it when on paper what they

779
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 2: were saying was funny. But what I realized, like, there's

780
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: a couple of people I've watched and I'm like, oh,

781
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 2: they're doing It's not them doing stand up, They're doing

782
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 2: the character of a stand up comedian, right, is what

783
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: I think? Yes, as an audience member, that's what I

784
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: was feeling, like the audience was interpreting. Whereas if everybody

785
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: other person is getting up, even if they're eating it,

786
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: they're being themselves eating it, and that's the audience can feel.

787
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 2: It's like that credit you're getting for just even standing

788
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: there and saying your real thoughts as opposed to kind

789
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: of doing a voice or being present, where immediately the

790
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: audience is like, you're not actually doing it, so we're

791
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 2: not gonna like laugh at this. It's an interesting I

792
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: don't know. I think I find those two things fascinating,

793
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: and I really do. Having been in the nineties like

794
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: improv phobic, I became such a believer after that, Whereas

795
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: like that one class kind of just snapped me out

796
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 2: of it, where it's like you have to be open

797
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: to things to think things are funny and do me

798
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: funny in the moment.

799
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that divide. That's what I experienced in Austin. People

800
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: were like, you have to choose one or the other.

801
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: You can't do both, and I'm like why not? And

802
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: then so it was pressure from other stand ups and

803
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: it's like you can't got rules, Chris. Yeah, they did

804
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: rules and they were a lot. There was two camps

805
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: and you couldn't be in both. Yes, very straight. It's

806
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: obviously not that way anymore.

807
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: I also find when people come from improv to start

808
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: doing stand up, there's an obsession with the form of

809
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 3: stand up, and so all of their first jokes or

810
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 3: I see it a lot at least, are making fun

811
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: of the tropes of stand up or the like holding

812
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: the mic or adjusting the mic like that bit. I've

813
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 3: seen so, you know, so many times from people like

814
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: starting off or like the idea of like ladies, am

815
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 3: I right? You know, and like doing the things that

816
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: are like the callback to the audience. It's like people

817
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 3: being like, these are all the things I noticed about

818
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: stand up, but when you do them, the audience is like, yeah,

819
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: doesn't we want to see like you.

820
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's a little bit of when you do

821
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: a true I mean, I'm thinking of a very specific night.

822
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: It was at Little Joy and I think Chris you

823
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 2: were probably on the show, and everyone was doing having

824
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 2: very different sets. So I was like, what is going

825
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: on with this audience because it was like one person

826
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: would get up that you know, was hilarious and it

827
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: would just be dead silent, and then another person would

828
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,479
Speaker 2: get up and they would be fine, but they would

829
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: be killing and I'm like, oh, are those all your friends?

830
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: What is it? And I was like getting very analytical

831
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: about like what is this and how do we do

832
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: this or whatever? And then one person got up that

833
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: was basically introduced by saying that they do improv or something,

834
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: and that's what he was. It was like he was

835
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: up there to go this is what stand up is,

836
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: but almost sarcastically, and the audience might as well have

837
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: all like cross their arms at the same time they were.

838
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: It was so funny and interesting in that way where

839
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, you're going to do this five more

840
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: times and then you're going to actually just be doing

841
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: it instead of doing the voice. Yeah, you don't have

842
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: to have that thing up.

843
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: Yes, yes it is. It's like a.

844
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 3: It's an attempt to have like a critical I'm making

845
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: fun of the the of stand up, but you're doing.

846
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: Stand up, you're doing it, You're in it.

847
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 3: So the audience feels the inherent honesty there.

848
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: I think, you know, yeah, or it's probably a product

849
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: of the fact that Little Joy usually was just comics

850
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: stand up other stand ups waiting to go out there? Yes,

851
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: every time? And which is I mean that that That

852
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: place is a block from my house and lately I've

853
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: been going there to if golf isn't boring enough, I've

854
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: really gotten into playing pool and there's like a league

855
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: night down there. And now it's a shame they're they're

856
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: close playing game you're going to play.

857
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: When my bingo is down on the corner.

858
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: I have a stick that's in my Amazon cart right now.

859
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: I haven't pulled the trigger on it because they've closed

860
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: for a month. They're renovating and they're actually Little Dooy's

861
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: taking that performance space out and guess what they're putting

862
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: in there, Uh, the pool table. So I'm doing this

863
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: is going to be really bad for my career, but

864
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: not my future on ESPN shot fair Banks, Oh yeah,

865
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: snooker competition. How does he always know where to leave

866
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: the cup ball cubeball? Oh, there's a coyote in the

867
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: on the table.

868
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: You and your coyote.

869
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a shame. I didn't realize I would miss

870
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: that that space there's I was so embarrassed when I

871
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: would go there because Monday night is a night for

872
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: playing pool. And Anna Saragina and all those people that

873
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: run a show right now, Megan Caster, they all would

874
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: come out after a show and I'm like, oh, yeah,

875
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: they're doing stand up, which is the thing I'm supposed

876
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: to do for a living, and I'm just get to work. Yeah,

877
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: I try and hide my black fingerless glove that I require.

878
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: That makes me.

879
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 2: Sad that room is going away. Yeah, it was so cool.

880
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of been hitting me the last couple of

881
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: weeks of them being closed. Also the fact that I've

882
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: been healthy and sober and waking up early because of

883
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: my unhealthy Billiard's lifestyle is on hold.

884
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: Really makes you think, yeah.

885
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: It is there. No one gets on ESPN, bowling or

886
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: playing pool without some damage to their liver, without a divorce, yeah,

887
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: or without someone leaving you.

888
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: Kurt, do you guys? Two questions?

889
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: Two parter, I'm ready?

890
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: Do you still do? Hot Tub? The legendary comedy show.

891
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: Yes we do. We've started up again and it's Wednesday

892
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: nights at Permanent Records Roadhouse and my favorite and you

893
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: guys both have to come and do it anytime they

894
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: want to get up. It's awesome.

895
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 3: It's outside, so you know, COVID friendly guys, and it's

896
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 3: just such a cool space because as soon as like

897
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: the show ends, there's a band that's inside, so literally

898
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 3: as you're leaving your like, here's just a great local

899
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 3: band that I've never heard of, and I just always

900
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: like hang out and watch a couple songs and it

901
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 3: feels very cool.

902
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Last time I performed there, went in saw Frankie

903
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: in the Witch Fingers, rocked out and bought a T shirt. Nice,

904
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: I have a tea shirt. I have nothing to show

905
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: for my set that night, but I do have my

906
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: first on purpose Ti Di shirt. It's the coolest. It's

907
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: one of the coolest venues in LA right now. It

908
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: really is, and doing it this week, I'm very excited.

909
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: It also looks like a dive bar from the nineties,

910
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: like the checkered floor, red vinyl booths, Budweiser, Tiffany lamp.

911
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean that like the first time I walked in.

912
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: It was like my heart, like, this is a real

913
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: blast from the past. But they're not being like kitchy

914
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: or anything. It's just like, no, this is what a

915
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: cool bar. This is what it feels like. Is what

916
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 2: it looks like. Yes, and then that perfect stage at

917
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 2: the end, it's I love that place.

918
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 3: The last the when you said the checkered floor, the

919
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: checker floor is a big thing. And I remember the

920
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 3: very first time I ever encountered that was at this

921
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 3: that no longer exists in Baltimore, Maryland, in a section

922
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 3: of Baltimore called pig Town, And only Baltimore would have

923
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 3: a section of town called Pigtown because it was where

924
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: the slaughterhouses were, but then human beings lived there, and

925
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 3: so it was like slaughterhouses and junk yards and salvage yards,

926
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 3: and then a fucking neighborhood and Memory Lanes was there,

927
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 3: and it was like a fifty styled punk rock dive

928
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: bar that would have shows there. And I spent my

929
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 3: twenty first birthday there like getting drunk. Saw so many

930
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 3: good shows there in Baltimore. Oh, it was a delight,

931
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 3: a delight. If anybody remembers Memory Lanes and Pig the best.

932
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: They knew that you would think about it later. Memory lanes,

933
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: Remember if you when did you first start doing things

934
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: with shall?

935
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 3: Was that two thousand and four February twenty second, two

936
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 3: thousand and four.

937
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: Because so, I bet the university's coming up. Living in

938
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: I lived with Tig in that year. Tig was on

939
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: the road for I think a couple months, and Kristen

940
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: took over her bedroom and we were like roommates for

941
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: just a couple months. And I can't remember where she

942
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: had moved from, but I know she was new to town.

943
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: That had to be. That was my second year in

944
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: La So in La yeah, for a little mile. Oh

945
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: it was New York. This was New York, two thousand

946
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: and four, New York. I think when did she move.

947
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: I think she maybe would come out.

948
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 3: She would stay in Tig's back house when she came

949
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: out for like pilot season and stuff.

950
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and this one of the okay,

951
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: and she had done that a few times, but this

952
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: time someone a DJ or someone was living in the

953
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: back who I think broke in and stole tigs TV,

954
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: one of the first things Tig ever bought. And I

955
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: don't know why I went in her room. Don't tell her,

956
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: but I peeked in there and there was just a

957
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: broken window and her brand new TV was gone. And

958
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: I called her immediately because I love spreading bad news,

959
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: but one, yeah, dude, doesn't. Kristen's stayed in there for

960
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: a while and we'd have coffee in the kitchen, and

961
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, we lived together for a short time.

962
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: Look at that.

963
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be eighteen years of stand of

964
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 3: us doing the show.

965
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,439
Speaker 2: That's amazing soon. That's great.

966
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? Was hot Tub just a random why'd

967
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: you name your show hot tub? Because we were trying

968
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: to come up with the name and I had been

969
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: in a hot tub, Okay, I not that that would

970
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: be the story actual reason.

971
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 3: I had been in a hot tub in like for

972
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 3: New Years, and so we were like, come, trying to

973
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 3: come up with a flyer, and I had a photograph

974
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 3: of we had like rented a hot tub because we

975
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 3: had rented a house in upstate New York, I think

976
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 3: to go skiing or something, and then we rented a

977
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: hot tub because like the company would just come and

978
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: like in laid a hot tub in the backyard and

979
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: fill it up.

980
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 1: And so when you like arrived. It was like hot

981
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: and ready to go.

982
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: It's like, uh, the fact that I had the wherewithal

983
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 3: to do that at twenty nine blows my mind away,

984
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: you know. And I have this awesome photograph of all

985
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 3: of us in there, but all of our faces are

986
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 3: obscured by like the steam, except for my one buddy Mike,

987
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 3: who has this giant beard on and he's so high

988
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 3: and he's holding a beer and he's like looking out

989
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 3: and it looks like it's from the seventies or something.

990
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 3: And so I gave that photograph to a buddy of

991
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 3: mine and he just like you know, just did some

992
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 3: graphic design magic.

993
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: And that was like our first flyer, which was oh okay,

994
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: hot Day and it was a wet Jubilee of Comedy

995
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: was the name of it originally, and the originally when

996
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: we had Hot Tub, there was an animal race that

997
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: was happened every show for like the first six months

998
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: of the show, and there was a lot of animals

999
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: lost in the space. You would line them up and

1000
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 1: they would make it to a finish line.

1001
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 3: Yes, we so we would like once we did cockroaches,

1002
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: the theater did not like that. We did sand shit,

1003
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 3: we did sandworms once they're disgusting.

1004
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: We did crickets. The theater really didn't like that. Yeah,

1005
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: this seems more like bugs we were doing. We did snails. Well,

1006
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: the thing is we had to have animals that you

1007
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: could like keep it apo us. Oh my god, So

1008
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: we kind of stopped. We stopped shortly after. But and

1009
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: then we felt, you know, because we just started the show.

1010
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: We were like, people are gonna be really disappointed. This

1011
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: is by the way.

1012
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 3: We would sell out at forty tickets and we were like,

1013
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 3: people are gonna be so upset that we've got.

1014
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: Annibal races this comedy show. We were like, really worried.

1015
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 2: There is a part the reason they're coming.

1016
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, people, you would always be like, what is happening?

1017
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: Why is this happening? At the end, people, it's surprising.

1018
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: There's this Brennan's pub near where I lived in Venice

1019
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: and they had turtle racing, which I did not. It

1020
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: was it's people yelling and screaming and the turtles are

1021
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: running in a panic like they are not enjoying it. Yeah,

1022
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: we realized it was they do know to go in

1023
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: a straight line, and people get very competitive and it's

1024
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: just not my scene. Not my scene at all. I

1025
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: would prefer to play chicken shit Bengo. I prefer to

1026
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: keep going to these underground dog fights. I didn't bet

1027
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: at all.

1028
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 2: Chris.

1029
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it's just the the energy in the room.

1030
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: It can't be duplicated, the passion.

1031
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 2: I thought when you said that, I was imagining that

1032
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: you were having, like comedians that were on the show,

1033
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 2: bring a pet to race like. And maybe it's because

1034
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 2: when my sister was in garden. This is like the

1035
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: legendary family story. When my sister was in kindergarten, they

1036
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: had a day in kindergarten, so five year olds called

1037
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 2: pet parade, and you just brought your pet, dog, cat,

1038
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 2: whatever you wanted to school and so they could walk

1039
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 2: it in a circle at pet parade in the kindergarten.

1040
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 2: So my sister brings our cat, Taffy, who was just

1041
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 2: one of them orange cats that we found in the

1042
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 2: crick and of course Taffy spends maybe twenty seconds there

1043
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 2: and there's dogs around and other cats, and Taffy flips out.

1044
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 2: My sister's trying to hold it as a five year old,

1045
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 2: and Taffy scratches her eye directly underneath, so she almost

1046
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 2: lost an eye, but instead it was just a scar

1047
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: she had till she was like in high school, but

1048
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 2: wasn't It wasn't like it almost looked like a crease.

1049
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 2: But we talk about it where it's like who doesn't

1050
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 2: know that animals don't get along? Like those animals probably

1051
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: won't get along, and that the people in charge of

1052
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 2: the animals just got here. They're five or six years old,

1053
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 2: six macs and they're in charge of pet parade, like

1054
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 2: the most psychotic idea. I think.

1055
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine.

1056
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even let my five year old walk our

1057
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: dog current like at all at all, at all at all,

1058
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 3: So that is amazing that like that, that was like

1059
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 3: every cause there's definitely not it's not all small dogs.

1060
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: There's just some normally big dogs that they're.

1061
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely And also Laura didn't my sister didn't have the

1062
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: cat on a leaf. We don't have that, so it

1063
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 2: was just her holding the cat for And also both

1064
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 2: my parents worked, no one was with her. I'm sure

1065
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: my carpool dropped her off with the cat and it

1066
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 2: was like good luck.

1067
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Will refused to believe that day ever went off

1068
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: without a hitch. I do not think there is ever

1069
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: a successful cat day, what if it was?

1070
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: It was always great until my sister and then she

1071
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: in it for everybody with taffy.

1072
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: Well, I hope she believes that.

1073
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 3: I do have a weird way to marry our conversation

1074
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 3: about hot tub and the pet parade is that for

1075
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 3: a hot tub? In I think two thousand and eleven,

1076
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 3: I did the nine to eleven Memorial Puppy Parade and

1077
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 3: it was at the top of the show, and we

1078
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 3: had we did exactly that.

1079
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: We walked around the block. I had a marching band

1080
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: and everyone brought their dogs to the show, and then

1081
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: we marched around the block with a marching band, and

1082
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: I had a big banner that says nine to eleven

1083
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: and then we brought everybody back to uh there that

1084
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: we just started the show. That was just like how

1085
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: it happened. But this was not because there was a

1086
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: version of this that you did at Bridgetown and I

1087
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: actually was in the parade marched with people. Oh there

1088
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: was a barching bed, but it wasn't an ID eleven

1089
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: memorial parade. It was just to celebrate. I think everyone

1090
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: was going to get cookies or donuts or maybe I'm

1091
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: doing what I've done many times and confused you with

1092
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: Andy Kaufman. He brought us when I was a child

1093
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: to get cookies.

1094
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.

1095
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 3: And that Bridgetown show, there was also a guy on

1096
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 3: a unicycle just as Darth Vader with a bagpipe that

1097
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 3: shot fire.

1098
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 1: Do you remember him? No?

1099
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I think we marched past him and he

1100
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 3: did a performance while we were like marching past.

1101
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: But it was this was crazy, like a steampunk. Did

1102
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: he have one of those utility kilts.

1103
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a kilt on, yes, he had to,

1104
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 3: and he had a Darth Vader mask and a bagpipes

1105
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: that played music but then also shot fire out the tops.

1106
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: That had to be a modification. Yeah.

1107
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasn't a real bagpipe. That's not from the store.

1108
00:58:59,000 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't come though.

1109
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: They don't do that at Guitars Center.

1110
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 2: But you hired that guy to be someone you passed

1111
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 2: or was it?

1112
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: No? No, No, we hired that would be amazing. Yeah.

1113
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if we paid him, but he was

1114
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: definitely part of the entertainment.

1115
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: You invited him, that's what matters. He was invited. Well,

1146
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 2: but when I watch you do comedy, I'm like, that

1147
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 2: is how it is supposed to be done. It's so smart,

1148
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 2: it is so truly delightful and beautifully developed and completely accessible.

1149
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 2: Like it's not it's smart, not snobby, It's always hilarious

Speaker 2: and then gets more hilarious, Like you have blown my

1151
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,480

1154
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 3: new material now and I.

1155
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Feel like a real idiot, isn't the It's the worst feeling.

1156
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I really feel like I spent my entire career, especially

1157
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: since when I finally made a special a lot of

1158
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the material was there's versions of it on my very

1159
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: first album, like it's spanning and embarrassing twenty and now

1160
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: I really feel like I have to start over, and

1161
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: that pressure has been sitting here for like three years,

1162
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: and it's still what I'm saying is much like the

1163
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: loss of a loved one. It never gets easier, and

1164
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: it really does, no matter how many times you go

1165
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: through it. You're still like, well, I guess I don't

1166
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: have any more ideas. Yeah, there always is that feeling

1167
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: where and it's like it's simply not true, but it's

1168
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: very difficult to not feel it. I mean, it's true

1169
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 1: that you get fewer and fewer ideas. I mean, that's

1170
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: just how the world works.

1171
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: That's just how brains work in time.

1172
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty years old, being like, I gotta I gotta

1173

1180
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: what people do when they're in a good mood, right,

1181
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,920
