Speaker 4: in that. Because I saw the refrigerator I wanted. It
Speaker 4: was right down at home depot, this retro looking red refrigerator.
Speaker 4: I'm very excited about it. But I decided to support
Speaker 4: an independent business and ordered it from Saint Louis and
Speaker 4: it still hasn't shipped. It's been over four weeks. Yeah,

Speaker 1: of drop in on Carson persons.
Speaker 4: You getting alert when there's an empty Hollywood Square.
Speaker 2: Yeah fine with me, Yeah fine with me. Me and
Speaker 2: Jim J. Bullock just high fire them.
Speaker 1: Ascotny, would you ever h in the in the noble
Speaker 1: effort to support mom and pop businesses, would you order
Speaker 1: a refrigerator from a prostination.
Speaker 2: In Saint Louis? I definitely would not. Is it a Smeg?
Speaker 2: I got to ask, is it a Smag?
Speaker 4: It isn't a Smeg. I was looking at the Smeg,
Speaker 4: but it doesn't match the wine color I painted my kitchen.
Speaker 4: This is a This is a wine colored refrigerator. It
Speaker 4: looks like Cadillac. It's a Chambers refrigerator. So I had
Speaker 4: to really seek it out. I could have gone to
Speaker 4: any one of the furniture websites, but luckily a fan
Speaker 4: of ours of our podcast on Twitter. I was griping
Speaker 4: about it because sometimes you can get results, and they
Speaker 4: went in person. They went to this place. Chris on
Speaker 4: my behalf.
Speaker 1: I've told you so many times to stop stop using
Speaker 1: social media. As a way to buy things for your apartment.
Speaker 1: Because there's the thing. This is Los Angeles gets results,
Speaker 1: It gets results that don't work. This is Los Angeles
Speaker 1: where they have to source everything in the world for
Speaker 1: entertainment all the time. This is the city where you
Speaker 1: get a wine colored old fashioned refrigerator.
Speaker 5: Literally, have you ever been to Burbank.
Speaker 1: There's streets, big, wide, empty streets of stores that do
Speaker 1: this exact thing.
Speaker 4: If I was able to hit the streets, I would
Speaker 4: have done that. I would have gone to some vintage
Speaker 4: appliance place. But I was just online, and you know
Speaker 4: they don't have the websites. They just I searched, I
Speaker 4: promised Karen. I searched the Maas stores in Los Angeles. Yes,
Speaker 4: I know I made a mistake.
Speaker 1: I should have seen the first Los Angeles then Missouri.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I also feel like you gave them a story,
Speaker 2: which I always appreciate, Like that small mom and pop
Speaker 2: has probably never shipped anything to Los Angeles, let alone
Speaker 2: their biggest product, the biggest thing. They said. But we're
Speaker 2: either on the Howimandel Prank Show? Or this guy really
Speaker 2: wants a burgundy colored.
Speaker 1: Right cost on a fucking two thousand pounds refrigerators.
Speaker 4: It was only fifty dollars and they bring it in
Speaker 4: my home and hook it up and take my old refrigerator.
Speaker 4: Do you think you'd get that kind of that home
Speaker 4: type service from some.
Speaker 5: La Yes, hollyw it comes with it. Yeah, probably it's automatic.
Speaker 4: I told them I have fifty stars going up to
Speaker 4: my apartment. That's like, oh, we don't care, we're from
Speaker 4: Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But then they want to stay at your apartment afterwards
Speaker 1: for a couple of days before they get their plane back.
Speaker 4: And they and they also have not shipped it again.
Speaker 4: They will not ship it.
Speaker 2: There you go, there, you go out of business four
Speaker 2: years ago. But I think they got.
Speaker 5: Your credit card. They got they got those numbers that
Speaker 5: they needed from you.
Speaker 4: And one of the times I called there was a
Speaker 4: chicken rooster in the background. Stop it because they're working
Speaker 4: from Hope. Yes, a loud rooster. No, yes, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: is that perhaps a rooster? Yeah, it's a rooster. Do
Speaker 4: you keep it in the house. Let's talk about this
Speaker 4: refrigerator instead. Okay, sorry I.
Speaker 5: Just literally said that. Yes, yeah, they changed the subject.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were embarrassed. Uh, the rooster was not going
Speaker 4: off at the right time of day. I think they're
Speaker 4: embarrassed that they have an afternoon rooster. Anyway, hopefully the
Speaker 4: fridge comes.
Speaker 1: Thank you, you picked the you picked the paint color,
Speaker 1: and then you made the refrigerator match the one thing
Speaker 1: that could have been any color.
Speaker 4: I could have bought any color refrigerator and painted the
Speaker 4: refrigerator with the leftover paint that I have for my kitchen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what's the theme, Chris, what's the theme of
Speaker 1: the kitchen? Is it like France?
Speaker 4: It's very it's very bestro theme where I keep my
Speaker 4: blender and coffee maker, but the rest of it is
Speaker 4: kind of farmhouse. I have Uh, I have several Speaking
Speaker 4: of roosters, I have four on the wall, one of
Speaker 4: them on a sign that says eggs as if roosters
Speaker 4: lay eggs.
Speaker 2: I know it was an ironic sign.
Speaker 4: I like it, and uh yeah, it's it's very farm
Speaker 4: farm army. Okay, yeah, I think you'd like it. When
Speaker 4: I describe it, a lot of people are like gross,
Speaker 4: like my grandma's house, that's like just come in and
Speaker 4: look at it, and they apologize.
Speaker 2: For our shared neighborhood. Chris in Echo Park not to
Speaker 2: docks us both and we're in deep trouble. But there
Speaker 2: are tons of roosters. Have you walked up Echo Park?
Speaker 2: There are tons of chickens and roosters in Echo Park
Speaker 2: on that noticeable amount. The more you go up the hill,
Speaker 2: it becomes a rooster city. Yeah, yep, yeah, they're everywhere
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 4: Just yard roosters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, past yardbirds. What they can do? Talk the doodle
Speaker 2: do it's great. I like it. I take a job,
Speaker 2: they chirp, I go louder. It's great.
Speaker 1: Are you are they? Do you think they're pets? Do
Speaker 1: you think people? Because you don't need a rooster to
Speaker 1: have eggs? If the people are trying to be hippies,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 4: They are just a six am alarm clop alarm clock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. They go right on through nine pm.
Speaker 2: That's they're very dedicated to the draft. And I think
Speaker 2: it's a very Latin American Hispanic community and though and
Speaker 2: a lot. There's also a great run on a street
Speaker 2: near my house where on nice days, on days that
Speaker 2: are like that classic La seventy five eighty degree day,
Speaker 2: they put their parrots and parakeets outside on the patio
Speaker 2: in cages, and so you'll walk down the street and
Speaker 2: see fifteen or twenty parakeets or parrots just just you know,
Speaker 2: just a little taste of freedom, just to see just
Speaker 2: with their.
Speaker 1: Minds and be like, all of this could be yours,
Speaker 1: but no, you're coming back into the apartment.
Speaker 2: Sky's limit, cage limit for years.
Speaker 4: I think they get loose sometimes because I'll go to
Speaker 4: Echo Park Lake and you look at that little island.
Speaker 4: A lot of people think Gilligan's Island was shot there,
Speaker 4: but I don't think so. And there will be parrots
Speaker 4: parrots in those streets. Do you ever see those those
Speaker 4: Echo Park Island parrots?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 4: I feel it like Jimmy Buffett every day time I
Speaker 4: see them.
Speaker 1: You know, there's have you guys seen the documentary The
Speaker 1: Parrots of Wild Parrots to Telegraph Hill about basically people
Speaker 1: getting wild birds and then just either letting them go
Speaker 1: whatever happens, and so then there's like a flock of
Speaker 1: parrots and all kinds of wild birds that just had
Speaker 1: to band together and live in the city. They're city birds,
Speaker 1: like loose city birds. Yeah, my greatest, it is great.
Speaker 4: I just no part of me has ever wanted to
Speaker 4: have any type of bird as a pet. What are
Speaker 4: your that's right, I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's cruel. Yeah, I think it's wrong.
Speaker 4: It's unusual.
Speaker 2: Bird people are the strangest pet owners. I think that
Speaker 2: the other thing is like mccau's and the big parrots
Speaker 2: live for a really long time. I don't know, let's
Speaker 2: say forty years. I don't know if i'm.
Speaker 5: I think longer.
Speaker 1: I think like eighty years. No joke, Like those great parrots.
Speaker 1: They yeah, yes, you have. You have to have a
Speaker 1: parrot in your will, and you have to have a parrot.
Speaker 5: Down your niece, your nephew who's loved one in.
Speaker 4: New York City to do some sort of banking or something,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, this parrot has to
Speaker 4: be tagged and flown out to them. I think that's
Speaker 4: how they do it, if they ship them. These these
Speaker 4: birds aren't just flying. They're on their way to a
Speaker 4: younger person in the family.
Speaker 2: That's why we're always going somewhere. That's the cool thing
Speaker 2: about birds. They're always going somewhere, and plan we stop them.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I one time I used to have cats
Speaker 1: when I lived in Silver Lake, and my younger days,
Speaker 1: and I was sitting at the kitchen table one day
Speaker 1: and out of the corner of my eye, I saw
Speaker 1: this kind of like my cat jumping in the air,
Speaker 1: and I saw this kind of bright neon yellow thing,
Speaker 1: and I looked over and my cat had caught a canary,
Speaker 1: like like a little yellow, bright yellow bird, or he
Speaker 1: had an actually he was kind of playing with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it wasn't So I went and got
Speaker 1: the bird away from him and took it outside and
Speaker 1: put it.
Speaker 5: On the railing like near the stairs.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't tell if it was like mortally wounded
Speaker 1: or whatever, and so I just put it there and
Speaker 1: kind of stood away from it. And it took about
Speaker 1: five minutes and then it just real quick flew away
Speaker 1: like it like was stunned, I think, and it scared
Speaker 1: and freaked out and maybe thought I was going to
Speaker 1: do something. And he just was really still for a
Speaker 1: while and was like taking deep breaths, and then boom
Speaker 1: was gone. And it was the best. It made me
Speaker 1: so happy because I was like, this bird is going
Speaker 1: to die. I have to put it in a shoe
Speaker 1: box and have a whole thing in the backyard.
Speaker 4: It is it is my favorite thing that animals do
Speaker 4: is pretend, is to play possum. I love it when
Speaker 4: possums do it and they look like a rat. They
Speaker 4: have miss and missing patches of hair, they have a
Speaker 4: rat tail. But once they're pretending, you come around the
Speaker 4: corner they're on a branch and then they're like oh,
Speaker 4: and they stick their tongue out and cross their eyes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I love that too. And never in your life,
Speaker 2: Never in any of our lives have you have you
Speaker 2: ever regretted pretending to be asleep in your entire life.
Speaker 2: I do it for no reason. I've done it at
Speaker 2: parties when I was a teenager. I did it when
Speaker 2: I was hooking up with somebody that I realized it
Speaker 2: was a mistake and I just decided to pretend to
Speaker 2: be asleep would be a better move. A time in
Speaker 2: my entire life that I chose as an adult to
Speaker 2: pretend to be asleep. And I look back now, I'm like, right, choice,
Speaker 2: should do it more often.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 4: I am racking my brain for one of the times
Speaker 4: I regret. No, you're right, it's always a good choice.
Speaker 1: There was one where in the dorms in college before
Speaker 1: before it is. This concept is good, Scott, You're right,
Speaker 1: greatest thing we should do. It's very we should all
Speaker 1: play pasma on smile. But there I was in my
Speaker 1: in my bed in the MS and this guy came
Speaker 1: in and he.
Speaker 5: Was like, care, are you awake?
Speaker 1: And then I was just like I was just kind
Speaker 1: of laying there and I was just like I don't know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't I was just kind of like I just
Speaker 1: don't know what to do right now, Like am I
Speaker 1: supposed to be like get up and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's up.
Speaker 5: And make out? I've already gone to bed, Like what
Speaker 5: am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1: So I literally just like made light not overdone breathing
Speaker 1: sounds just like here you can hear that I'm deeply.
Speaker 5: Asleep, and I was completely awake.
Speaker 1: And he sat there patting me like Aaron, Karen, you're
Speaker 1: super drunk, and he did it for so long where
Speaker 1: I was literally just like dude, it's like it's not happening,
Speaker 1: and I finally left.
Speaker 4: I'm really good at it too. I even go out
Speaker 4: on a limb and take risks and pretend I have
Speaker 4: like sleep apnea or a light snore or even it's
Speaker 4: part of a dream, like, I'll play around with it
Speaker 4: because I know people will think I'm asleep. I've run
Speaker 4: away from parties, been found in a neighbor's yard by police,
Speaker 4: laid there pretended to sleep, and they're like, well, just
Speaker 4: let them sleep it off. I would have been arrested.
Speaker 4: I've got tu yeh?
Speaker 5: Is that true?
Speaker 2: Yes? Very true? I believe it.
Speaker 4: High school parties, everyone underage, I go run into a
Speaker 4: bush and sleep. There are if you talk to my
Speaker 4: friends in Montana, they can point out some of the
Speaker 4: bushes I would pretend to sleep in. When was that?
Speaker 2: No adult? Even when you're a kid and you know
Speaker 2: that weird age between like toddler and then whatever being
Speaker 2: a real kid, and like your parents would carry you
Speaker 2: in from the station wagon and like you you knew
Speaker 2: you were getting too big for mom, but dad could
Speaker 2: still get you in. But you would pretend to be
Speaker 2: asleep and you were wide awake, and then you get
Speaker 2: there and you're like kicking your kids off and you're
Speaker 2: like okay, but like that was that was the beginning
Speaker 2: of me going this is a sure shot way to
Speaker 2: get the results I need by simply laying there with my.
Speaker 5: This is a real thing. This is a real thing.
Speaker 4: My favorite place to do it. Uh, just one of
Speaker 4: those shiny red booths at a pizza parlor. I would oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's where I would pretend to fall asleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah you were done? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Did you just wanted to leave the pizza parlor?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Or or I think it was because I wanted
Speaker 4: to stay. And no one will make you leave if
Speaker 4: you're pretending to sleep. Always have too much pizza. Just
Speaker 4: look at them, don't we love our son? They'd say
Speaker 4: nice things about me and I pretend not to hear them,
Speaker 4: but it made me feel.
Speaker 2: Another picture, Another picture, bush light. Another picture Cherry Cooke.
Speaker 2: We're going to make a night of this. Did the
Speaker 2: pizza huts in your town have a fireplace in the
Speaker 2: middle of them? Yep?
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't, and our and w did too. I don't.
Speaker 4: It was a thing, Oh yes they did. And they
Speaker 4: had the island, the buffet island. Yeah, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Weirdly, there was a thing in the seventies in the
Speaker 2: eighties where having just an open gas bonfire in the
Speaker 2: middle of your restaurant signified going out, I guess, or
Speaker 2: something different.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was kind of like along the lines of
Speaker 1: like fern bars were popular in the seventies and then
Speaker 1: it was like the family thing of I mean, that's
Speaker 1: my childhood and that's like right. There was lots of sleeping.
Speaker 1: You're right, Chris, now that you're saying it. There was
Speaker 1: lots of sleeping in red Gnaw thee hide booths where
Speaker 1: it was just like my parents never left because we
Speaker 1: were tired.
Speaker 5: They never left because we wanted. We were bored.
Speaker 1: Like I am absolutely from the era of kids where
Speaker 1: it was like my sister and I literally we would
Speaker 1: There's an Italian restaurant called De Nuchiese that's halfway between
Speaker 1: Pudalumma and going out to Badega Bay, and we would
Speaker 1: go there for dinner. It was so dark that you
Speaker 1: would get sleepy when you walked in because you're just like, yes,
Speaker 1: this is where you're like six years old, and you're like, huh,
Speaker 1: we're just like nighttime in here. And then the parents
Speaker 1: would just party and smoke and drink and we would
Speaker 1: be We would eat like a miniestroni soup and be
Speaker 1: so bored.
Speaker 5: That we would go play with the cigarette machine.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was I want to say that
Speaker 2: that is exactly right, yes, and I.
Speaker 1: Always we would pull those things, and I always got
Speaker 1: a pack of smokes every fucking time.
Speaker 5: My sister's like you had the magic touch.
Speaker 1: Anytime I pulled a thing on a cigarette machine, I
Speaker 1: got a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And that was like there was no there wasn't even
Speaker 1: a gumball machine like I kids today. I know this
Speaker 1: is such an old lady thing to say, but they're
Speaker 1: so lucky, Like everywhere they go, there's candy everywhere they go.
Speaker 1: There's some consideration for kids. A game, a video game.
Speaker 1: We had to we really had to conjure it or
Speaker 1: just go to sleep.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and imagine that now, just resting your face down
Speaker 4: on the plethor surface of where that day hundreds of
Speaker 4: uncles put their butt down and you just put your key.
Speaker 2: U feels good. It's cool on my gym.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a bunch like a little.
Speaker 1: There's a divid and it's warm. Maybe there's a little
Speaker 1: cotton sticking out.
Speaker 2: Maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, where a rip and you can only assume it
Speaker 4: was caused by some terrible uncle's fart. And you would
Speaker 4: you'd laugh about that as you rested your face on it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and pretended to sleep. The best choice, it was great. Well,
Speaker 4: they all had a little vestibule.
Speaker 2: Every restaurant in a little vestibule that was the smoking
Speaker 2: machine that had those like weird glass not things you're
Speaker 2: talking about. People out, they'd have the payphone because they
Speaker 2: had to have a payphone at some point they'd have
Speaker 2: like a few brough shores or like there. But it
Speaker 2: was always like ten degrees colder than the restaurant. It was.
Speaker 2: It was the way in. But it was like your
Speaker 2: parents would be like, here's two quarters, play two songs
Speaker 2: in the jukebox. If you were lucky, they had some
Speaker 2: weird like pac Man, and then if not, you would
Speaker 2: be like, let's go get a free matchbook from the bar.
Speaker 2: Like there was.
Speaker 1: It was just yep, maybe they'll give us Marachino cherries
Speaker 1: if we're cute and nice enough.
Speaker 2: Got oh, I got.
Speaker 1: I think Denucciess had And we had this in my
Speaker 1: old neighborhood because I used to live by the Smokehouse,
Speaker 1: which is basically from nineteen seventy five. We one time
Speaker 1: we were driving home and they had put out in
Speaker 1: front of the smokehouse. It was two like gumball machine things,
Speaker 1: but they had Spanish peanuts on one side and then
Speaker 1: the other side was just empty, and I was like,
Speaker 1: we have to take this. This is literally from like
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. They don't make these anymore. And the
Speaker 1: little thing that it was twenty five cents, but it
Speaker 1: was a sticker that was an acorn and then it
Speaker 1: said the price like it was this very It wasn't
Speaker 1: a brand.
Speaker 5: It was just kind of how all of those looked
Speaker 5: back then, red.
Speaker 1: On the bottom, and we took it home. It sat
Speaker 1: in our garage forever because I was like, I just
Speaker 1: need it. The Spanish peanuts were still in there. You
Speaker 1: used to be able to get a handful of peanuts
Speaker 1: with red skin on them, and that would be like
Speaker 1: a treat if you wanted them.
Speaker 5: It was like so pre anything for kids.
Speaker 4: And I don't know it. Did you have these pizza
Speaker 4: places where they just played the Three Stooges? Yes, all
Speaker 4: the That's the only reason I ever saw the Three Stooges. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't There would like be a tiny merry go round.
Speaker 4: I don't know if this was a Shaky's like chain,
Speaker 4: but I remember them constantly playing the Three Stooges.
Speaker 1: The one in our town. I believe it was Shaky's
Speaker 1: because we would go there after softball or if like
Speaker 1: if there was like some kind of if you won
Speaker 1: or lost or whatever, like your whole team would get
Speaker 1: to go to Shakey's.
Speaker 5: And they had this separate little room.
Speaker 1: And that's where the pac Man explosion of like nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty one or whenever that started. I watched that all
Speaker 1: develop where it was like it used to just be
Speaker 1: the place where if you had your birthday there, you
Speaker 1: you would get like pizza and then a hostess cupcake
Speaker 1: with a you know, like a handle in it. And
Speaker 1: then they would they would show three stooges and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, and sometimes they'd show cartoons, but three stooges.
Speaker 5: I would be looking.
Speaker 1: Around, like, who likes this? This is just for boys?
Speaker 1: Like this is violent and mean and weird.
Speaker 4: It's weird, and they the reason for they're fighting was
Speaker 4: there was never a good reason.
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 4: It was an obvious accident that you bumped into me
Speaker 4: while we're making this cake, and you immediately go for
Speaker 4: my eyeballs.
Speaker 6: And my brother, yeah, my brother or the guy before
Speaker 6: you that mysteriously disappeared and was replaced with a bold man.
Speaker 6: I don't know, there's a weird Pluto, uh Pluto and
Speaker 6: Grimace or never I'm forget Brutus brutus thing where all
Speaker 6: of a sudden one of the three stooges was a
Speaker 6: different guy and I even only assume it was a
Speaker 6: drinking problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's but the it's true. Restaurants used to
Speaker 2: only be for adults. I don't know if you all
Speaker 2: waited tables, but like I waited tables for years, and
Speaker 2: I felt I think I was in those magic years
Speaker 2: where the shift went to child worship, where before it
Speaker 2: was like a restaurants are for adults to go out.
Speaker 2: You're lucky to get here. Here's the kids menu. You're
Speaker 2: eating bow typasta with butter and yeah, yeah, jeez, shut up.
Speaker 2: Then I was in Brooklyn from like two thousand and
Speaker 2: four to twenty thirteen, and I was waiting tables a
Speaker 2: lot of that time. And that's when kids became empowered
Speaker 2: and being a server in places and being a server
Speaker 2: in places. They would be like, Okay, now what do
Speaker 2: you want to order? And then you'd have to sit
Speaker 2: there and the kid would pick apart, like you know,
Speaker 2: it used to be like cheeseburger and fries, and then
Speaker 2: we'd be like can I have a burger, but can
Speaker 2: I have cheese on the side? And can you substitute
Speaker 2: the froy and you and I would be like eleven
Speaker 2: tables deep in the weeds and being like, get this
Speaker 2: kid chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4: I taught him the word substitute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get this kid nuggets.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, shit, okay. I felt I always feel very
Speaker 1: bitter when I watched that kind of thing develop where
Speaker 1: it was like my friend, my sister's friend and Adrian
Speaker 1: had kids first before you know anybody, and so those
Speaker 1: are the kids that I would I watch them go
Speaker 1: through the world so differently. And her daughter, who I
Speaker 1: adore and is a wonderful adult now and grew up great.
Speaker 1: But she came over to my parents house one time
Speaker 1: when she was like four or five, and she walked
Speaker 1: up to my dad and goes.
Speaker 5: Where's your outdoor play structure? And he's like, what the
Speaker 5: hell did you just say?
Speaker 1: Like She's just like, I don't understand why I'm here
Speaker 1: and there's nothing built for me to play on. U.
Speaker 5: It was legendary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kids are littered with the confidence and uh, yes,
Speaker 4: I should be impressed, but it's it's it's I'm jealous.
Speaker 4: I think I'm jealous as an adult of the confidence
Speaker 4: of children and their sense of awareness.
Speaker 1: And yeah, even though it's a bummer at like you know,
Speaker 1: adult restaurants, it's a good thing to teach children like
Speaker 1: you don't just have to take what they give you. There,
Speaker 1: you know, there should be more one choice. You might
Speaker 1: have a preference. It's okay to want different things or
Speaker 1: whatever like that. To be raised in this kind of
Speaker 1: suck it up mentality is not good later on in life,
Speaker 1: I find. So that's another thing I'm jealous of. Is
Speaker 1: there's the health, the mental health aspect of later generations
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh, this is what actual evolving is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because all these people are better. Every generation is better
Speaker 1: than the last because they get a little bit more
Speaker 1: like cared about and a little bit more like, oh
Speaker 1: maybe if I'm the parent and I don't drink, I'll
Speaker 1: pay attention more and then you know, like the vibes
Speaker 1: will be better in our household or whatever.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: There was like that was a real progressive. It took
Speaker 1: people a while to realize that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I think my dad made me shake hands
Speaker 2: with every man. Like my dad was like shake his hand,
Speaker 2: look im in the eye, shake his hand firmly, and
Speaker 2: it's paid off in life. And I've had people in
Speaker 2: Hollywood like in meetings, but give a good handshake, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, when I was six years old, my
Speaker 2: dadould like you shake that guy's hand. Yes. But also
Speaker 2: to the food thing, you know what your kids like,
Speaker 2: you make them the same four meals your entire childhood.
Speaker 2: So I like when parents go, he's gonna have the
Speaker 2: cheese pizza, he's gonna have the chicken fingers and fries.
Speaker 2: We're going to have two blah blah, We're gonna have
Speaker 2: two Shirley Temples if we're having a night. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: think about me, the adult who needs four dollar tips. Yeah,
Speaker 2: be true with me first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let's prioritize this that the kids aren't because
Speaker 1: that every time it's a big decision, and then truly
Speaker 1: they never eat any of it exactly. So it's like
Speaker 1: there's a little performative parenting where it's like, now you're
Speaker 1: going to watch my child make decisions.
Speaker 5: And also we've never said the word.
Speaker 1: No to him, you know where it's definitely it has
Speaker 1: gone wrong in some way. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see a lot of because I still go
Speaker 4: to the skate park where I'm uh, not lately, but
Speaker 4: in general, I in the past few years, and that
Speaker 4: I can tell a lot of kids don't hear the
Speaker 4: word no. Yes, yeah, they must be reasoned with like adults.
Speaker 4: We are in an era of children stuff fridge and
Speaker 4: it's just happened.
Speaker 2: They can have it, they can't have it. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm done, they can have it. Bird, I
Speaker 2: don't care. Give them cigarettes. I don't care. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: really want. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm not mad at kids. I'm mad at old people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, exactly.
Speaker 4: So it's not at everybody, not at everyone, just in general. Yeah, Scotty,
Speaker 4: you at your podcast, You guys deal with uh, weird
Speaker 4: news stories not necessarily mainstream, like what's been happening the
Speaker 4: last few days, but it doesn't fall right into that
Speaker 4: weird category. Also, how are you going to deal with that?
Speaker 2: We avoid that completely across the board. We try to
Speaker 2: be an oasis. We try to be we don't talk
Speaker 2: about politics all this they're crazy politics. We don't really
Speaker 2: talk about anything violent, anything, No as salt, no anything
Speaker 2: like that. We really try. Bananas is supposed to be
Speaker 2: an escape. H Kurt Brown Older and I did it
Speaker 2: as it's really more about taking stories that are real
Speaker 2: news stories from around the world, and we get sent
Speaker 2: literally hundreds a day at this point, which is cool
Speaker 2: because we were like, I wonder how long we can
Speaker 2: keep this going. It turns out that everything is insane
Speaker 2: at all times around the world, and it's really more
Speaker 2: about giving us launch pads for our own stories that
Speaker 2: we relate to. So a lot of the times I'll
Speaker 2: pick stories I know Kurt has a really funny story
Speaker 2: about his childhood or whatever for but yes, we avoid
Speaker 2: the chaos that bombs everybody out. A friend of ours
Speaker 2: worked for The Daily Show for like nine years, and
Speaker 2: when I was like, oh, you're leaving, He's like, I
Speaker 2: cannot wait to never watch news ever again. Right, I'm
Speaker 2: so jaded by it. And that really struck home with
Speaker 2: me because I don't really enjoy the news. I've had
Speaker 2: a hard time listening to even like NPR lately because
Speaker 2: you're like, I get it. So we don't talk about COVID,
Speaker 2: we don't talk about politics. We just try to tell
Speaker 2: funny stories. Karen was on it and it's totally the vibe.
Speaker 2: It's like we try to make each other laugh with
Speaker 2: the headlines and then we tell stories from our own
Speaker 2: life about how silly and absurd the world should be
Speaker 2: and how we should celebrate that.
Speaker 5: They're such good conversation starters.
Speaker 1: So many of those stories are just kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: that reminds me, you know that time I was near
Speaker 1: a turtle or whatever. Where it really is stuff that
Speaker 1: it becomes because the story is so weird. You it's
Speaker 1: a story you would never even think to talk about,
Speaker 1: but you know it's the top. It's the top because
Speaker 1: I was actually this morning because I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Baby we got the baby.
Speaker 4: It ain't zoom without some barks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to send you one because I
Speaker 1: keep waking up at five point thirty. And then of
Speaker 1: course I have to check Twitter just to see if
Speaker 1: you know they've crested the.
Speaker 2: Wall or whatever.
Speaker 1: And the story from the from today that I read
Speaker 1: where the woman that posted it was like, I in
Speaker 1: intentionally fact checked this three times before I took this
Speaker 1: to social media because it seems so insane. Yes, is
Speaker 1: the guy that was in the coup got in side
Speaker 1: the senate in the building, had the taser in his
Speaker 1: pocket that was set on He reached up to steal
Speaker 1: a picture of tip O'Neil.
Speaker 5: He tased himself in the balls and died of a
Speaker 5: heart attack.
Speaker 2: And he died, yes, and that was one of the
Speaker 2: four deaths.
Speaker 1: Was that's one of the yeah, one of the five,
Speaker 1: I believe now. But and I read it, I kind
Speaker 1: of like went home. I got like like everything else.
Speaker 1: We were like I want to laugh, I want to cry.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel anymore. I took the
Speaker 1: picture of it, and then I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is not this isn't what bananas does. And also
Speaker 1: this isn't. All we can do is like snicker to
Speaker 1: ourselves of like, oh the irony, But ultimately this is
Speaker 1: the satisfucking story there is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, but the ball's part makes it funny so
Speaker 4: we can talk about it, I know.
Speaker 1: And it's like he what was he going to do
Speaker 1: with that taser? Why did you? Who were you going
Speaker 1: to fucking tasee? It's and then you basically got you know, yeah, if.
Speaker 4: The taser was in his breast pocket and it tased
Speaker 4: him near the heart, that's just story we shouldn't tell.
Speaker 4: But the bar the ball where it's okay that we make.
Speaker 1: Life everyone we all wanted to rise above that story
Speaker 1: and then it was like, I'm sorry, I can't.
Speaker 2: I cannot also would yeah, we wouldn't cover it. But
Speaker 2: also who get like, light that guy up? That's awesome,
Speaker 2: Like because then he's gonna have to have a funeral.
Speaker 2: People are gonna have to be like, what did what
Speaker 2: did he like? He liked art, He likes keeping electronics
Speaker 2: in his pockets, said, very very susceptible nerds, moron. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he loved parent. Yeah, yeah, that that guy. I know.
Speaker 2: There was another one and the other one that came
Speaker 2: out today that people did send us and I'm like,
Speaker 2: we don't really do this was one of the people
Speaker 2: that was killed and during the stupid coup attempt was
Speaker 2: a woman carrying a don't trettle meat flag that got
Speaker 2: transplated to death. Yeah, so you go, the irony is deep. Sure,
Speaker 2: so don't show up. Yeah you hadn't to be there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you just have to wait a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks before you tweet a picture of her and everything.
Speaker 4: That's right because the irony I mean.
Speaker 1: That well, and most people, I feel like there's been
Speaker 1: such that kind of facts. Don't care about your feelings
Speaker 1: and liberal tears and all that. These these harsh stances
Speaker 1: that have been taken for four years that when this
Speaker 1: stuff comes up, it really is like, no, no, we
Speaker 1: have to go higher and we have to take the
Speaker 1: higher ground or whatever.
Speaker 5: But then you're just like, but we didn't do it.
Speaker 5: We didn't fucking we didn't. We didn't set it up.
Speaker 1: How about you keep the safety on in any weapon,
Speaker 1: any weapon, keep it on until you get right up
Speaker 1: to the fucking the governmental servant that you're trying to kill.
Speaker 1: What do you what was that fucking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were right right on the other side of
Speaker 4: the glass, scared congressional people.
Speaker 2: Jesus, I don't care. You know, you know how you
Speaker 2: don't trip, make a trimple on, don't hold a flag
Speaker 2: with both hands, just you know, run around the arms
Speaker 2: out well, bounced like the flying wall end does, and
Speaker 2: you're good to go.
Speaker 1: Yes, Or how about you don't get out of the scrum.
Speaker 1: If you've never been like in a mosh pit, maybe
Speaker 1: don't be there.
Speaker 5: Don't try to run in first like.
Speaker 2: I'm popular. Not today.
Speaker 4: No, here's the weird thing. A lot of those people there,
Speaker 4: I think had been in mosh pits. They had a
Speaker 4: mosh pit look to them, there was a.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know was uh because I haven't seen MA but
Speaker 4: I just watched the trailer because I do a lot
Speaker 4: of research before guest comes on.
Speaker 2: Then you've seen it. It's back on HBO Max, which
Speaker 2: I'm so pumped on, Like it goes back and I'm
Speaker 2: like some messages.
Speaker 1: Also, there's a lot of mommy I see a mommymes too.
Speaker 4: They're hilarious because of the means. But that seems that
Speaker 4: seems to me like a story from your life for something,
Speaker 4: like because that so specific, someone that would for you,
Speaker 4: that would provide a place to party end up being
Speaker 4: a weirdo?
Speaker 2: How much of.
Speaker 4: That was true?
Speaker 2: It's two people, it is. That is I think why
Speaker 2: Blumhouse made it is because all of us that grew
Speaker 2: up in not a major city, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if they do in cities, but so many of us
Speaker 2: had to go and play hey mister yeah to some extent,
Speaker 2: and in most towns it was like a dude. But
Speaker 2: I thought it would be more interesting if it was
Speaker 2: a woman that was kind of on the fringes, the
Speaker 2: kind of person you wouldn't see in a grocery store. Sure,
Speaker 2: somebody like when you look at your high school yearbook.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh right, yeah, So I thought that that
Speaker 2: was the perfect murderer because you they slept through the
Speaker 2: cracks and you trust him in a weird way. And
Speaker 2: then there were two people in my hometown. I'm from
Speaker 2: a reister's Town, Maryland, which is a smaller town near
Speaker 2: the Sticks. There was one party I went to where
Speaker 2: this dude. My friends were like, hey, this guy bought
Speaker 2: us beer and I was like, ooh, he's like, I
Speaker 2: don't know this guy, Jimmy, and we drove out to
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere and it was the house. So it
Speaker 2: was supposed to be a house that kind of moss
Speaker 2: based on It was just like a rental piece of
Speaker 2: shit house. And we walked around back, my best friend
Speaker 2: and I and the girl I was dating, who was
Speaker 2: only fifteen at the time. I was sixteen. Okay, good,
Speaker 2: I'm not a great follow up question. I was a
Speaker 2: youth ful six I was a short sixteen balder to
Speaker 2: toe and I walked in the I had a piece
Speaker 2: of overcome it. It's one of the great joys of
Speaker 2: my adult life. So we step into the cinderblock, dirt
Speaker 2: floor basement. Eminem's first album came out. It's blasting half.
Speaker 2: My soccer team is wrapping eminem lyrics at me. It's
Speaker 2: full of weed smoke and cigarette smoke. And I see
Speaker 2: my fifteen year old girlfriend smoking a cigarette with this
Speaker 2: like he was probably twenty five, but he felt like
Speaker 2: he was thirty or forty. He felt older, and he's
Speaker 2: wearing like Fubu had to tee like it's a white guy,
Speaker 2: like a mess. Just you're like here it is riff
Speaker 2: Rapp is smoking cigarettes with my girlfriend and she sees
Speaker 2: me and gets really nervous because she she didn't know
Speaker 2: I was coming or whatever. There was a miscommunication there,
Speaker 2: and my fear at that exact moment was that guy
Speaker 2: was going to figure out that I was dating her
Speaker 2: and he was going to beat me up in front
Speaker 2: of everybody. A grown man. Yeah, And so I left
Speaker 2: with my friend. I didn't like run out the door,
Speaker 2: but I was like said, hey, everybody said like I
Speaker 2: was mad at her, like that those teenage fights where
Speaker 2: it's like what are you doing? Why are you here?
Speaker 2: I thought you were reading doing puzzles with Danielle. But
Speaker 2: so I left. But that fear of getting beat up
Speaker 2: stuck with me because it was an adult and nobody
Speaker 2: would have known what to do, and what if he
Speaker 2: pulled out a gun. Yea one was a rich Yeah
Speaker 2: you're in a strange basement.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're sixteen. You're just trying to be popular. You
Speaker 2: don't want to make any mistakes. People are like loser.
Speaker 2: And then around the same time, another friend of mine
Speaker 2: had a really wealthy aunt and every time her husband
Speaker 2: would go on these business ships or whatever it was,
Speaker 2: into sales or whatever, she would let us party in
Speaker 2: her basement. Finished basement, pool tables, heavy punching bag, air hockey,
Speaker 2: the worst I remember, like a bar yeah, like you know,
Speaker 2: like all a finish, like a downcers bathroom. Yeah, all
Speaker 2: these things where they were stand on this. They were Jewish.
Speaker 4: Actually, religious families have those basements. Successful. It was religious families.
Speaker 2: Yeah, huge and like really way more wealthy than I
Speaker 2: was growing up. And she would stand on the stairs
Speaker 2: and it would be like, I don't know, ten girls,
Speaker 2: ten guys, all of us sixteen ish, and she would
Speaker 2: just hold court and just watch and she would flirt
Speaker 2: with the girls. She'd be like love your butt, oh girl,
Speaker 2: Like I remember when I had that figure. And then
Speaker 2: she was to the guys, she'd be like John, you
Speaker 2: better call me when you turn eighteen. And so I
Speaker 2: kind of combined the fear of Jimmy murdering me with
Speaker 2: this mom flirting with everybody and created Sue and the
Speaker 2: mock character. And then I took it to what if
Speaker 2: she hated everybody and wanted to kill them? But yeah,
Speaker 2: that's for popularity was my pitch. And when I said
Speaker 2: that to Bluemouse, they were like, we'll buy it.
Speaker 5: So I just feel like the log line, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, But it was like the goal of horror movies
Speaker 2: is to if you can leave, it's not scary, right,
Speaker 2: Like if you can drive away from the monster, it's
Speaker 2: not scary. If you can outrun it, it's not scary.
Speaker 2: So I was just thinking about things that would pin
Speaker 2: normal people in place, and I was like, to be
Speaker 2: unpopular will trap any teenager to not leave a situation
Speaker 2: they know they should leave.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: And I think, to my favorite murder fuck politeness, that's
Speaker 2: exactly it. Like when you're an adult, you can say that,
Speaker 2: but when you're fifteen and you just want the ceboy
Speaker 2: to like you, you will go through hell. Yes, that's
Speaker 2: great people.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so you'll do what it takes because you
Speaker 1: got hurt, people will hurt you. Like it's every man
Speaker 1: for himself.
Speaker 4: That's so true.
Speaker 2: Promise. That was the theme of MA was if you
Speaker 2: test popularity, she'll win.
Speaker 4: So back to this poor fifteen year old girl when
Speaker 4: you left with all your friends. Was she just there
Speaker 4: with the fou bou guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's they've never found her. I knew if I
Speaker 2: did some investigation. Oh yes, it's scary. No, it was
Speaker 2: funny because she's a you know, she's a nice woman.
Speaker 2: Now she has of course, and she she's a great person.
Speaker 2: But it was like she was trying to fit in
Speaker 2: with an older guy too. It was the whole mix.
Speaker 2: Adults and children should not hang out. It's like there's
Speaker 2: a point where when people are like I call my
Speaker 2: mom every day, I'm like, this is a huge problem.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, that used to be a joke in my
Speaker 5: act is.
Speaker 1: I said, mom, you're my best friend, and she goes, well,
Speaker 1: you're not my best friend. And that really happened. And
Speaker 1: the only reason I said it to my mom I heard.
Speaker 1: I saw my friend and her mom and they were
Speaker 1: doing something where like they were sharing a shirt or
Speaker 1: there was some weird thing where I watched other people
Speaker 1: do it, and I'm like, oh, this is this is
Speaker 1: like another way to be popular, be really like besties
Speaker 1: and your mom being cool and your age. And my
Speaker 1: mom's just like I have plenty of my own friends.
Speaker 5: Like it was. It was so alarm but I'm like
Speaker 5: she in that way.
Speaker 1: She was just like, yeah, have your vision go a
Speaker 1: little further than this weird local version of what you
Speaker 1: think cool is like you don't. No, one should be
Speaker 1: best friends with their mom.
Speaker 2: No. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I was always made nervous by those house parties
Speaker 4: where the parent is there and they're the ones that
Speaker 4: bought the keg, even when I was a kid, I
Speaker 4: promise you I thought that was so bizarre and not healthy.
Speaker 4: They're going to hang out your mom.
Speaker 2: Yeah she's cool.
Speaker 5: I don't know if she's well.
Speaker 1: And also it's so uncomfortable because it's like, well, so
Speaker 1: now I'm I'm just trying to get drunk on wine
Speaker 1: coolers and like have like my teenage golden years. And
Speaker 1: now all I can think of is what's going on
Speaker 1: in this family? How do you do you guys eat
Speaker 1: dinner in some weird way?
Speaker 2: Do you like?
Speaker 1: What other lines are you guys? Crossing, because this is
Speaker 1: the kind of thing where we should all be hiding
Speaker 1: in the garage, but your mom wants to hang out
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 5: That's not good.
Speaker 2: It's more fun to be discreet. It's more fun to
Speaker 2: be cleared, like yes, sneaking a beer when the weed
Speaker 2: became legal in LA. I don't really even smoke weed.
Speaker 2: I'm not like a weed got but like it was
Speaker 2: so fun to be like, we have to meet somebody
Speaker 2: in a kmart parking lot. He drives a challenger, but listen,
Speaker 2: he doesn't take twenties and he takes singles, so you
Speaker 2: have to give him thirty four singles. And like that
Speaker 2: was the adventure of bad behavior. Was so fun. And
Speaker 2: those parents that are creeps want to hang out. They're
Speaker 2: they're gonna do it somewhere. Might as well do it
Speaker 2: while I'm wearing a tight shirt. You're like the tight shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you get an arm wrestle.
Speaker 1: No you're no, No, we're trying to talk about home room,
Speaker 1: you fucking weirdo.
Speaker 2: I yes, I don't understand my body. Why are you
Speaker 2: trying to arm wrestle.
Speaker 4: I'm still growing. I just got over alopecia.
Speaker 2: I'm like Elton John I'm just gonna get more hairs, like, Oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening. Yeah, that is.
Speaker 4: You're right though, that being in a basement is I
Speaker 4: didn't realize that was. That was a unknown horror movie thing.
Speaker 4: Is that you there has to be no way out.
Speaker 2: That's the main thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the main thing I brought. I had two
Speaker 4: friends in college. Uh they girlfriends that, uh, we're just friends.
Speaker 4: And we went to some house and they wanted to
Speaker 4: get weed from this guy. And he was older, but
Speaker 4: he was still he was just out of college and me.
Speaker 4: We went to his basement. There was a log in
Speaker 4: the basement with a hatchet in it. Great, just in
Speaker 4: a cement basement, and then off.
Speaker 5: In the hockey mask right next to it, and.
Speaker 4: He had a big beard. We all knew who he
Speaker 4: was though, and these two were friends with him, and
Speaker 4: they smoked out of a big bong and immediately fell asleep.
Speaker 4: And then I'm with this guy and then that's when
Speaker 4: he decided to tell me that he hates me. He's
Speaker 4: hated me for a long time because I was break
Speaker 4: dancing while he was playing pool and I messed up
Speaker 4: and I owed him twenty dollars because there's money on
Speaker 4: this game, and he would start and I was high
Speaker 4: and paranoid already, and I got really scared, and I
Speaker 4: went upstairs and again it's I pretended to be asleep
Speaker 4: on the couch.
Speaker 2: Best decision made.
Speaker 4: Yeah. His roommate came home and he knew me from
Speaker 4: the bars, but he's like, oh, that funny guy. I
Speaker 4: like him. And then the guy, the bearded guy in
Speaker 4: the basement, is like, I hate him, and I'm gonna
Speaker 4: show you how much I hate him. And he ran
Speaker 4: across the living room and did, like a superfly, snook
Speaker 4: an elbow into my back because my face and I
Speaker 4: turned it and he was on me. So I picked
Speaker 4: him up like a baby and I tossed him onto
Speaker 4: this lamp. Anyway, we made this ruckus and the police
Speaker 4: came and knobs on the door. Yeah, yeah, because we
Speaker 4: are making noise. And I said, there, two of my
Speaker 4: friends are asleep in the basement. He has weed, and
Speaker 4: I left. I did not have to stick around. I
Speaker 4: think that guy probably got in a lot of trouble
Speaker 4: because there. This is when weed was very I totally
Speaker 4: screwed that guy and he deserved it, so yes, I forgot.
Speaker 4: It is a story about how you should pretend to
Speaker 4: fall asleep on the couch always.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, you could have written, mall you had this experience.
Speaker 2: He just it would have been should have been a
Speaker 2: hatchet murder. But that's it's that fear of like the
Speaker 2: fear of adults when you're a teenager. It should be
Speaker 2: in there. The kids that arener, the teenagers that aren't
Speaker 2: afraid of adults, those are the ones that scared the
Speaker 2: shit out of you in high school. Like there's this
Speaker 2: kid named Joey Latch. I'm I rest in peace Joey Latch,
Speaker 2: I think. But he would be like, you want me
Speaker 2: to go beat that guy up? And all the skaters
Speaker 2: would be like yeah, and they would just run over
Speaker 2: and beat some pedestrian up. And I remember being more
Speaker 2: afraid of him than I've ever been of anything in
Speaker 2: my entire life. But he was on your side, no
Speaker 2: rules rules, Oh yeah, he thought it was the funniest.
Speaker 2: He was like, Scottie, whatever you want, like, just pointed
Speaker 2: to somebody to I'll punch him in the face, and
Speaker 2: I'd be like, haha, cool, I'll definitely do that, and
Speaker 2: then just wet my pants and throve home in a
Speaker 2: Toyota Corolla. Was I was like you.
Speaker 4: All my friends were tough, and there was always a
Speaker 4: guy that wanted to fight. All my friends had been
Speaker 4: in fights, but fights scared the hell out of me,
Speaker 4: and I was so scared that I was going to
Speaker 4: get beat up all the time, and it it dictated
Speaker 4: what I would do just to.
Speaker 1: I love a good fight. I mean I don't want
Speaker 1: to do it. I want I want to watch other
Speaker 1: people do it. I want to watch some loud mouth
Speaker 1: get clocked by someone who's quiet and noble and like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I've had enough of you.
Speaker 5: That's my favorite situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish it was always that way. Usually it's
Speaker 4: just for no reason, and it's a nice person getting
Speaker 4: beat up.
Speaker 5: Usually it's drunk people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and then it's just kind of some
Speaker 1: weird like and you can't reason with them, and everyone's
Speaker 1: kind of bleary eyed and not really punching very accurately.
Speaker 4: That's the average.
Speaker 2: In the South, they might have had them where they
Speaker 2: had tough man competitions. Do you guys know what those are?
Speaker 4: Is that when the Christian Power Team comes to your
Speaker 4: high school and rips a phone book, in half. It's different.
Speaker 4: Fun tough Man is three rounds of boxing. I think
Speaker 4: it's three rounds.
Speaker 2: They would set them up in the back of bars
Speaker 2: and stuff, and then they kind of did it with
Speaker 2: loose weight classes, but basically it was amateur boxing in
Speaker 2: the back of bars, and they had these big yellow gloves,
Speaker 2: and I mean they were everywhere. This was pre fight glove.
Speaker 2: This was just like people are going to fight. And
Speaker 2: I saw one in Pensacola at this place called Big
Speaker 2: Daddy's Lounge, and they were like they were like, you know,
Speaker 2: they'd be like, okay, one hundred and fifty pounds and
Speaker 2: then these two rednecks will go beat the hell of
Speaker 2: each other. But it's only for six minutes. And so
Speaker 2: this one guy gets up there and he's like, I
Speaker 2: was Golden Gloves nineteen ninety two and I'm gonna whoop
Speaker 2: this boy's eyes. And I'm like, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 2: be gnarley. And then he gets the shit kicked out
Speaker 2: of him. But then he got punched in the shoulder
Speaker 2: and it dislocated his shoulder, which I didn't know could happen.
Speaker 2: So this guy who threatened this other guy has a
Speaker 2: dislocated shoulder. His brother's like waving a white napkin like
Speaker 2: a white towel to say the fight's over. So then
Speaker 2: the guy stands next to me and I'm like, he's
Speaker 2: probably forty five, everybody else is in their early twenties.
Speaker 2: And his brother's like, we're got to pop your shoulder
Speaker 2: back in, and he's like, uh yeah. And then the
Speaker 2: next act up was like local wrestling, and so they're
Speaker 2: smashing plastic chairs across each other's backs and one of
Speaker 2: the legs flies off and hits the disco kid's shoulder
Speaker 2: guy in the forehead, and so he starts bleeding down
Speaker 2: his forehead from a broken chair, and I was, yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy was like, you should never enter a tough
Speaker 2: man competition again. And then and then you just drink
Speaker 2: and then it's over, and then there's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love gold because Golden Gloves is like kids.
Speaker 4: That's like he was claiming to be. That's like if
Speaker 4: you are around a bunch of military guys and yelled
Speaker 4: that you were a cub scout, it's like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
Speaker 4: Isn't Golden Gloves for young people?
Speaker 2: It's a little no. It's more like it is for
Speaker 2: younger people, but it is sort of like if somebody's
Speaker 2: a golden gloves boxer, that means they actually did like
Speaker 2: practice boxing, right, they know how to box. Yeah, But
Speaker 2: he was just a drunk and he said that to
Speaker 2: intimidate the guy and then gets punched in the shoulder
Speaker 2: and then hit in the face with a flying chair leg,
Speaker 2: and I was like, why is this that's the entertainment
Speaker 2: this guy? Yes, board, I love that guy. I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's still alive. I'm sure he's healthy.
Speaker 4: He just says love.
Speaker 1: Those are the people actually, I think of when I
Speaker 1: was getting in the beginning of COVID quarantine, when I
Speaker 1: was getting mad at people that were still going places
Speaker 1: and pretending yes. But then I thought of those people
Speaker 1: who truly live in bars, like they don't, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever they do during the day, their life begins when
Speaker 1: the sun goes down and they're sitting in a bar,
Speaker 1: and then whatever happens happens. And that is And I
Speaker 1: used to be kind of of that world a little
Speaker 1: bit and really loved it. But there are people who
Speaker 1: that is the world, and then suddenly it's just like no, sorry,
Speaker 1: it's all closed. You have to stay home.
Speaker 4: Like it.
Speaker 1: Enabled me to access a little bit of the compassion
Speaker 1: where I'm like, oh, that's right, Like if you're like
Speaker 1: thirty eight and you really love drinking and you really
Speaker 1: love like dive bar culture, and like literally just like
Speaker 1: you could be standing there in your corduroy blazer and
Speaker 1: just suddenly someone punches you in the face and you
Speaker 1: don't know why, you know what I mean, and then
Speaker 1: you find out later. It's like, you know, stuff that
Speaker 1: happens at the smog cutter, you know what I versus
Speaker 1: like all that just had it just was suspended and
Speaker 1: no one you could be so into it and living
Speaker 1: for it and then you just didn't get to do
Speaker 1: it anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, oddly about that that also applies to stand
Speaker 4: up comedy, I realized.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: When my day would begin, was when I'd go do
Speaker 4: stand up in some bar. I would love to see
Speaker 4: a picture of me, to see how much healthier I
Speaker 4: looked if I never did stand up, if I just
Speaker 4: had focused on illustration and drawing and never became a
Speaker 4: bar performer, because that's really what comedians are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you were drawn to it. You were drawn
Speaker 2: to it. There's something about that that I missed. The
Speaker 2: energy I don't miss drinking at bars. I missed the
Speaker 2: energy of bars. I miss like that feeling of like
Speaker 2: it fills up and people come in and you go
Speaker 2: to another one and it's like, oh, there is something
Speaker 2: in those great shows, especially when you're stand up. I
Speaker 2: never did stand up, but all my friends were stand ups,
Speaker 2: and they're like, will you come out to so and so?
Speaker 2: And it'd be snowing and I'd go to some dumb
Speaker 2: bar and there be four of us and two of
Speaker 2: the people hate the comics, one of the people's the host,
Speaker 2: and then it's me. You are the audience. I was
Speaker 2: the audience, and then all four comics I would get
Speaker 2: to meet because they were like, hey, it's my friend
Speaker 2: Scotti and they're like and I be like, you were
Speaker 2: really funny, and you could tell it meant something to
Speaker 2: the comics. And those empty bars where it was like
Speaker 2: Telly and they would be like, are you a comic
Speaker 2: and you'd be like no, and then it meant something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're not kissing up, you're not trying to
Speaker 1: get in or like somehow meet someone. Those are the
Speaker 1: shows too. I mean I haven't done in a sincere way.
Speaker 1: I haven't done stand up for so long, but when
Speaker 1: I really did do it all the time, when I
Speaker 1: would show up at one of those shows and there's
Speaker 1: you know, there's nine people booked on the show and
Speaker 1: there's six people in the audience. Everyone else will be
Speaker 1: so bummed and like, hey, try to go out in
Speaker 1: the street and whatever. But I would be sitting the
Speaker 1: back like I'm gonna be so fucking funny tonight because
Speaker 1: this is I saved it for when almost no one
Speaker 1: was watching, and something in me that is so there's
Speaker 1: I'm such a contentious, like rebellious whatever.
Speaker 5: Where on big shows and shows where.
Speaker 1: The audience is huge, I will walk out and say
Speaker 1: the shittiest thing to the audience, make them hate me,
Speaker 1: and then and then to have a mediocre set for
Speaker 1: you know, eleven minutes. But in those shows where it's
Speaker 1: just kind of like not much is going on and
Speaker 1: there's no one there, I'm just like, well, get ready
Speaker 1: to channel g just be like no one's gonna know,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, no one's going to know. It's my favorite, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my favorite.
Speaker 4: I like doing that as well. I like small audiences,
Speaker 4: no pressure, and so you just decide to be a
Speaker 4: genius that night, yeah, and.
Speaker 5: Do like almost like that's what I would really do.
Speaker 1: Normally, I can't do crowd work because I would get
Speaker 1: nervous and nervous energy and me turns into anger, which
Speaker 1: of course is not pleasant. But so if I try
Speaker 1: to do crowd work, it's just me being like, oh,
Speaker 1: really good job or whatever. It's like so unpleasant, which
Speaker 1: especially in like the post nineties comedy no one wanted
Speaker 1: that shit at all. But when no one was there,
Speaker 1: I would actually genuinely just be like I could do
Speaker 1: crowd work. I could do all those things that normally
Speaker 1: I would just have too much tension to do. I
Speaker 1: would would say to myself as it was happening, I
Speaker 1: would just like, do this normally, remember this feeling or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's like no, it's those it's always situational, and
Speaker 1: especially on the nights were like everybody's you start, like
Speaker 1: the comic that goes before you affects your set, and
Speaker 1: vice versa all the way down, like those are the shows.
Speaker 5: Those are the.
Speaker 1: Best when everyone's kind of like everybody's pointing to everybody
Speaker 1: else going they talked about this now it reminded me
Speaker 1: of this joke type of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yes, I miss.
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, it's like it's like being at a party.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's also you get to dominate.
Speaker 2: The safety if they don't know you, Like there's this
Speaker 2: in a big crowd. You feel like people check the
Speaker 2: line up. You feel like when a sou Largo show,
Speaker 2: you're like, who's on, like Sarah Silverman and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, and people are like, but those bar shows
Speaker 2: where some of the people just were at that bar
Speaker 2: that night and they're like, we let's stick around, say
Speaker 2: if it's funny. It's so fun because you feel like
Speaker 2: you're an Antarctica or something. You feel like you're aliens together.
Speaker 2: There was I did do stand up in college, and
Speaker 2: I did a show in Northampton, Massachusetts, and it was
Speaker 2: a snowy night and it was literally just sign up
Speaker 2: and you can do two minutes or three minutes or whatever.
Speaker 2: And the first guy goes up was the host and
Speaker 2: he wasn't funny at all, and you felt like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm glad you just tried to get a show going
Speaker 2: here a snowy night, maybe ten people in the bar.
Speaker 2: Then somebody else goes up. He was okay, but just
Speaker 2: used other people's jokes. I did my stuff, did fine,
Speaker 2: and then The headliner was a guy that had done
Speaker 2: it once before, and his entire act he goes, I'm
Speaker 2: going to do Arnold Schwarzenegger playing tennis with Sylvester stillone,
Speaker 2: and he goes for three minutes, we were crying. The
Speaker 2: entire bar was just glad it was over. He had
Speaker 2: a concept, the premise was there, and he was kind
Speaker 2: of good at doing Schortzenegger and Slanslay tennis and he
Speaker 2: just did four arm and I was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm a writer like this guy. Something else. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: want to see that.
Speaker 4: I mean at the time, did you, Scotty did you
Speaker 4: are you familiar or do you know about your biography
Speaker 4: on IMDb? Or did you write it? Or do you
Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about? Because it's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 2: I wrote a really I might have written it, but
Speaker 2: it's been a very long time, but it might somebody
Speaker 2: else might have gone. I don't know really how that
Speaker 2: stuff works. Do you mind say? Do you leta's read it?
Speaker 2: I either of you? Okay?
Speaker 4: Scott Landis is from Oh God, I need glasses. It
Speaker 4: doesn't say that. Yeah, reisters down Maryland. He attended the
Speaker 4: University of Massachusetts and currently resides in Los Angeles. In
Speaker 4: recent years, Scotty and Kurt Bronelder have jet skied from
Speaker 4: Lake Michigan to New Orleans, driven a giant double sided
Speaker 4: butt from Los Angeles to New York City to moon
Speaker 4: the entire country, and gave h Chicken a hot air
Speaker 4: balloon ride over Wine Country. That's your professional, I wrote,
Speaker 4: law and we're colics that that is. That is your bio.
Speaker 4: That's your professional and I love this. I love it
Speaker 4: very much.
Speaker 2: I did write that. Yes, that is mine, and that
Speaker 2: is all true, not any word of that is that
Speaker 2: is I'm very fact based when it comes that stuff.
Speaker 2: I hate exaggerations and I hate people that like can
Speaker 2: flight what they've done. So I wrote three things that
Speaker 2: Kurt and I literally have done. Yeah, and we did
Speaker 2: do all that.
Speaker 4: I did not doubt a word of it. That's the
Speaker 4: way it's. It's very factually written. And I appreciate. I
Speaker 4: appreciate your work, is what I want to say.
Speaker 1: Can I ask it being from near Wine Country, did
Speaker 1: that Chicken appreciate that hot air balloon ride?
Speaker 2: No, it did not. So we were in Temecula. Our
Speaker 2: original plan was to give a flightless bird the gift
Speaker 2: of flight and restore dignity to dignity to a bird.
Speaker 2: So we went to come Central and we said we
Speaker 2: would like to fly a penguin in a blimp to Alaska.
Speaker 2: Now there's some logistical issues. One is, blimps at maximum
Speaker 2: speed travel about sixteen miles an hour, so it would
Speaker 2: have taken us about a year and a half to
Speaker 2: get there. Right, there's all and we've had land many times.
Speaker 2: They were like no. And then we were like, well,
Speaker 2: can we take an alligator on a zero G jet
Speaker 2: and speed up evolution by making a dinosaur flying outer space?
Speaker 2: And they said no because it costs two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars to go on the zero G plane.
Speaker 2: It's a seven forty seven that goes up and then
Speaker 2: goes down. And our idea was that we were going
Speaker 2: to release an alligator and Kurt into zero gravity at
Speaker 2: the same time and just see if we could speed
Speaker 2: up evolution. And they said no. And then we said, well,
Speaker 2: what if we take a chicken on a hundred balloon?
Speaker 2: And they said, yeah, we can do that, So we
Speaker 2: got one called snowball. We went to a chicken farm Intomecula,
Speaker 2: and we knew the hot air balloon. I guess down
Speaker 2: there in the vineyards they a lot of them have
Speaker 2: hot air balloons. And we stood there and grated chickens
Speaker 2: and for personality, for bravery, you know, we wanted a
Speaker 2: courageous one, and we picked one called Snowball and Snowball.
Speaker 2: The reason we picked is because every time we would
Speaker 2: say Snowball would walk towards us. So that was the credentials.
Speaker 4: That's chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we brought Snowball on a friend in a cage
Speaker 2: the next day and Kurt had our top gun and
Speaker 2: a friend so he wouldn't get scared, she wouldn't get scared.
Speaker 2: And as they're inflating the balloon, we had to shoot
Speaker 2: a little bit of the setup where Kirk goes, I'm
Speaker 2: carpeler and I'm going to tell I'm going to restore
Speaker 2: the gift of flight to a flight the spurd. This
Speaker 2: is Snowball, and he's wearing a top gun one jumpsuit,
Speaker 2: of course, and Snowball instantly shits on him like by
Speaker 2: like like so much like Team American World Police level
Speaker 2: of fluid, and.
Speaker 4: Which I guess is kind of brave for a chicken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, camera, sure, that's brave. That's a brave hurt. And
Speaker 2: then when we got up there hotter balloons. Have you
Speaker 2: guys ever been in a hotter balloon?
Speaker 4: I've never desired.
Speaker 5: It's my dream. I want to I.
Speaker 2: Oh, all, Karen, I'll do it. We can do it.
Speaker 2: Let's do I would love to enjoyable.
Speaker 5: When quarantine's officially over.
Speaker 2: Yes, they rise really really fast, and they're besides, when
Speaker 2: they're revving the giant you know, flamethrower above your head
Speaker 2: that sounds like an earthquake. Once that's off, it's silent,
Speaker 2: and so they're go, you guys ready, and Kurt's holding
Speaker 2: this chicken and then it goes from probably one hundred
Speaker 2: feet to two hundred feet in maybe like five seconds,
Speaker 2: and then he goes, how, how do you guys want
Speaker 2: to go? We're like, well, what's normal? He's like two
Speaker 2: thousand feet and we're like okay. He goes, well, why
Speaker 2: don't we start at one thousand and see how the
Speaker 2: chicken does? And then I have all these beautiful photos
Speaker 2: are just Curt in this chicken, just staring out at
Speaker 2: the sunrise, because you do it in the morning when
Speaker 2: it's not windy. And then he goes, you guys, want
Speaker 2: me to touch that grape vine. We're like what. He goes,
Speaker 2: I can lower the basket and just brush the top
Speaker 2: of that grape vine on top of a hill. So
Speaker 2: he switches, he stops gassing it, and the wind takes
Speaker 2: us and we just brush the top of a grape vine.
Speaker 2: And then he goes, what's your name again? I goes Scottie.
Speaker 2: He goes, and we have two camera guys because you're
Speaker 2: shooting on actual video, And he goes, do you feel
Speaker 2: comfortable jumping out of this? And I was like, what
Speaker 2: do you mean. He goes, well, you can't really land
Speaker 2: a hot air balloon. You just have to crash a
Speaker 2: hot air balloon. He's like, our team's going to be there,
Speaker 2: but we need somebody if we go into the field
Speaker 2: to jump out and then grab one of the ropes.
Speaker 2: And Kurt was like, do you feel comfortable? I was like,
Speaker 2: of course. I was like, versus what.
Speaker 4: That's how they always do it. Someone has to jump
Speaker 4: out and grab a rope.
Speaker 5: Also, they ask you while you're in the air. They
Speaker 5: don't ask you before.
Speaker 4: I guess. Yeah. You see those big wicker baskets, they
Speaker 4: never have wheels on them.
Speaker 5: Noone's ropes.
Speaker 2: So they have a team that pulls up to the
Speaker 2: closest road. They kind of know the cornfield they're gonna
Speaker 2: or the soybean field they're going to crash into, but
Speaker 2: then they don't know exactly where it is because there's
Speaker 2: no steering. And so I was like okay, and then
Speaker 2: he's like, wait for it. And so we're getting close
Speaker 2: and you're coming down like you're sailing, and he goes now,
Speaker 2: So I jumped and rolled and then grabbed the closest
Speaker 2: rope and then his team comes running. I mean, it
Speaker 2: doesn't drag you. It's once you get it, you get it.
Speaker 2: But it was like, oh yeah, this is if you
Speaker 2: think of the luxury of it. If you think of
Speaker 2: like we're gonna go in a romantic sunrise and then
Speaker 2: somebody at the end of that thing, unless they bring
Speaker 2: their first mate with them, is diving out of that
Speaker 2: in a soybean field and then getting rope burn on
Speaker 2: their hands and then going to Denny. It's like it
Speaker 2: was it was great. I would do it again in
Speaker 2: a heartbeat. And then they take you to the vineyard
Speaker 2: at nine am and you just start drinking wine and
Speaker 2: we're not winder so we're just drinking white wine like
Speaker 2: it's going out of style. Best day of my life.
Speaker 1: I never see it was my dream to do it
Speaker 1: until I heard that part where.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, yeah, I'll jump.
Speaker 4: I just don't like being not at all in control,
Speaker 4: and it's it seems like you even said you can't
Speaker 4: even steer the thing. You're just being taken out of
Speaker 4: your control by a balloon with that fire above your head.
Speaker 4: I don't like that part either. No, that's that's a Hindenburgh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think they know the general direction. Also,
Speaker 2: Wine Country was funny because it's you know, houses are
Speaker 2: very far apart, or the vineyards are very far apart,
Speaker 2: but because you're in southern California. I remember vividly flying
Speaker 2: over a house that had a halfpipe and a bunch
Speaker 2: of balls and a Monster Energy drink symbol painted in
Speaker 2: the middle of there's something wow, like you can never
Speaker 2: get away. But I think it was like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if it's to Mecula, Yeah it was
Speaker 4: any one of the uh metal Malitia. Yeah, that guy
Speaker 4: has punched me in the stomach twice without me I'm like,
Speaker 4: that's how Houdini died. Those guys are lunatics, makes sense.
Speaker 4: I used to pix down that whole monster energy drink
Speaker 4: world and I don't miss it often. No, God, that
Speaker 4: is what what Snowball's friend happy to see was the chicken.
Speaker 4: I want to just imagine the chicken waiting for his
Speaker 4: friend and then being happy to see that he's landed safely.
Speaker 2: Totally happy. No chicken got injured at all. Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: did not crap on Kurt again during the flag. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I have some beautiful photos of them really just bonding
Speaker 2: as two creatures on the same planet at the same
Speaker 2: time they Snowball was restored. We took them back to
Speaker 2: the chicken farm. In Snowball's mind, nothing happened. Yeah, Snowballs
Speaker 2: maybe didn't know you were flying, not a clue. Snowball
Speaker 2: was just just blended right back in and did what chickens.
Speaker 1: Do because that's why chickens. Chickens don't fly, because they
Speaker 1: don't appreciate what they have when they're up there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: God was like, forget it. You're ungrateful and you're not smart.
Speaker 1: You don't get to.
Speaker 4: The gift of flight was taken away by the Lord
Speaker 4: because they the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: This is my quick Christian corner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so we hope you don't mind right.
Speaker 5: It's sorry, Scott, I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, the chicken did mind it. The
Speaker 2: chicken was a seven foot man that can't slam dunk,
Speaker 2: and it was just like I probably could if I tried,
Speaker 2: but you know, I'm just gonna stay right all right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, forget it.
Speaker 4: I would love to see those photos if we could
Speaker 4: get them, that would be great also, So I'm sure,
Speaker 4: thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: This has been a wonderful chunk of the time.
Speaker 5: Gone, I know this this very quick.
Speaker 4: That's always that's the sign of a good episode. Did
Speaker 4: you know that when you don't really.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Did you know that, Karen?
Speaker 4: Yeah, when it flies by due to fun.
Speaker 1: Dude, to fun, like a hot air balloon out of control.
Speaker 4: Why would you want to kiss the tops of a
Speaker 4: vineyard with the basket? That sounds dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't know what we were getting into. We
Speaker 2: just said yet at that point you just said yes,
Speaker 2: you said like, should we go into the sun. I'd
Speaker 2: be like, eraser, there, Bud, let's do this.
Speaker 5: Have you waited really quick?
Speaker 1: Have you guys gone on soaring over California at California
Speaker 1: Adventure at Disneyland, because there's a ride where you actually
Speaker 1: do that. It's the best ride. It's the best ride
Speaker 1: of any ride ever. And you're basically kind of in
Speaker 1: this you know, like a long thing. It's almost like
Speaker 1: a baskety chair thing, and you they basically on an
Speaker 1: Imax screen. They fly you up and into this huge
Speaker 1: screen that actually curves around you. So when you go
Speaker 1: into it, it starts and I think you're flying over
Speaker 1: the Golden Gate Bridge and it really feels like you
Speaker 1: personally are flying over it. And then it takes you
Speaker 1: in all these places and when you fly over a
Speaker 1: vineyards you can smell grapes. Oh wow, like they do
Speaker 1: kind of sense. It's the it's my favorite ride. And
Speaker 1: they I think they now it's flying over the world,
Speaker 1: so you you're going over other places.
Speaker 5: But the California one is really gorgeous. It's really good.
Speaker 4: I love that sensory stuff they do, like on the
Speaker 4: Honey I Shrunk the kids experience when the dog would
