WEBVTT - Josh Zagoren AKA Chad The Bird Talks About Everything!

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm picturing your old apartment just having a puppet sitting

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in the.

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Listen, you're a hundred percent right. If we were to

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 2>take a picture of the living room in that old apartment,

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.399
<v Speaker 2>it's just Chad on a stand sitting on a desk.

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 2>That's all that's in that room, which is great because

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 2>it's an automatic theft deterrent, because if you break into

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>that and that's what you see, it's like, I don't

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>think this is fir Us that's cursed.

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>This place that's a cursed place seems cursed.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>You know when you meet someone and you just instantly click,

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>You just feel like you've known them your whole life

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>or maybe from a past life, you know, like you

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>were brothers or best friends or lovers. Well, that's how

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel about Josh si Gorn. You know, I could

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>see us being philosophers and grease who drank too much

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>wine at a Bacchus festival and made fun of Aristotle's

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>weird haircut. Where I can see this as like Viking

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>sisters who crossed the ocean in a long boat and

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>braided each other's hair into really cool patterns. Ooh, or

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe we were in Vietnam together, and I got shot

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>in the butt as I carried a mortally wounded Josh

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>out of the jungle and yelled something bit me and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>then opened a chain of popular shrimp restaurants after Josh died.

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>See that's the kind of instant connection that Josh and

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I had. If you don't know Josh, you may know

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.960

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and I was like all right, I said. Then I

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>unplugged the thing and I changed the batteries and it

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.960

<v Speaker 2>No, you're wrong. Oh I guess that was on me.

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>So then I had to call the thing and then

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 2>they were just like they send you to one person

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>after the robot, and that one person that's out of

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>the robot is like, can I confirm that this is you?

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like can you No, I don't even know

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>if this is me anymore. And after that journey through

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the through the chaos and the void, come back out

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the other end, you're like, oh I am me. Good

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>to know, uh.

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>And then and and I'm still in the middle of

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>moving yeah, which is stressful enough.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Time is of the essence here, guys. So after we

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>go through all the verification to make sure a you're

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>a human and you are who you say you are,

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>and then you have like six identity crisises because you're

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>just like, why would I pick that for a password?

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Why is this? Why Why am I doing this? Like

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I could be out working on something with my hands

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>fixing potholes. And then that's over. And then this woman

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 2>comes on and she's like, oh, okay, can you give

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>me the serial number? And you're like, yeah, here's the

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.359
<v Speaker 1>There was a shooting. There was a shooting outside of

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.640

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars to move the service. And I was like, a

<v Speaker 1>You're like, come on, man, just put that in the window.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Lift from lift from your legs lift from you don't

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>live from your task grabbing it. Well that my sister,

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>she lives out in Tribecca, so she's in New York.

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 2>She works in finance, and she has a lot of

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>of of those kinds of situations where she's like, oh, yeah,

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>you just have to call somebody, And I'm like, I

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you heard me earlier, but I work

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>in the arts, so that's not gonna happen. I'm the

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>guy you call you, see right. So I learned how

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to do a bunch of really weird, odd jobs. So

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>task grab it was fun for a while, but there

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>comes a point where you're just kind of like, no.

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, maybe maybe we'll save that for the end. Because

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we do we do a game sometimes of first, worst, best,

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>last yet and job and job is one of my

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>favorite categories to do that. You know, your first job,

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>your your last job, your worst.

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's do that.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like fun, that's great, great stuff. But first off,

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.199
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure if you were going to be joining

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>as you are as it was it Chad.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 2>The Bird, Yeah, the Bird. They I got an email

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>from your producer, uh, and he was like, was it

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>going to be you? Or is it going to be Chad?

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, ah, well, if you want a visual,

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it'll have to be me, because I Chad is in

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 2>the old apartment and as previous stated, we're moving, which

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 2>means I'd have to drive down to the old apartment

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to get a puppet and drive it back. So I'm like,

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's if that's what you want, that's what

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm willing to do.

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm picturing your old apartment just having a puppet sitting

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in the list.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.559
<v Speaker 2>You're one hundred percent right. If we were to take

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 2>a picture of the living room in that old apartment,

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 2>it's just Chad on a stand sitting on a desk.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>That's all that's in that room, which is great because

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 2>it's an automatic theft deterrent because if you break into

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>that and that's what you see, it's like, I don't

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>think this is for us. That's cursed.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>This place that's a cursed seems cursed. Yeah, that's that's

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>an Annabelle situations.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, we should stop robbing in general. I think

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 2>we've hit our peage.

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>We should just task rabb it.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Task rabbit for robberies. I love that. That's a great idea.

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, Chad the Bird. I'm assuming there's there needs

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to be some backstory there. So yeah, I do a

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>character in Chicago, but also we're touring pretty soon and

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 2>it kind of picked up a lot of traction online

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 2>like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, he has his own discord page

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>now he has more followers than I do.

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh hell yeah.

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>And he's a talking bird who is from Laguna Beach,

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>so he has a really thick like well, he used

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to have a really fit California. He's been doing him

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 2>for a while and it kind of like drifts in

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and out of Chicago because he's been here long enough.

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Right, he's relocated.

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's miging. He's migrated, if you will, that

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>would be so yeah. I do him once a week

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago at a show called The Paper Machete, which

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>is a it's like a live magazine. It is a

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 2>live magazine. It's a Prairie Home Companion meets this American

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Life meets daily show. You know, we have a head editor.

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It gives everybody a news story that week, and we

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>have a bunch of op eds and he loves puppets

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's Chris Piett is the name of the guy

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>who runs it, and because of that, he wanted me

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 2>to be there every week. So I've been doing that

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 2>for about twelve years. So once a week, I get

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>a like on a Friday, I get a news story

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that I need to google, and then I have twenty

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>four hours to write a ten minute op ed and

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 2>then I go to the Green Mill, which is this legendary,

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>haunted gangster bar in Chicago. It was al Capone's Bouncers

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Club and it's been there since the thirties. It's one

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite places. It's awesome, but it is absolutely

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>haunted by dead gangsters and uh yeah, and it's the

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 2>perfect room for that show because it's low lit, it's

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>a historical ambit. It's a jazz bar. It's like a

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 2>legendary jazz bar, and it feels like a jazz bar.

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>So going in there, you've already kind of in this like, yeah,

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I want to drink and think. But it's all afternoon

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's a comedy show, so it gets pretty rowdy.

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>And then but yeah, and then I pop up as

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a puppet, and he gained a lot of traction the

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Chad character, and so I started doing it every week,

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, that's the That's how I keep up

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>on the news is this show because I have to.

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's kind of like being a journalist. It's like

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>a journalist puppet. It's like doing Sesame Street for Hipster's Day,

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 2>drinking in a haunted gangster bar. In fact that it's of.

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>A living, living newspaper, it is.

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>And that that was his Chris's goal, because he loves,

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, that kind of stuff. He's a big Ira

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Glass fan too, so like has that to it, which

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I love because it's like a happening, like an old

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>sixties happening, like back when all the great beat poets

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>used to get together and with musicians and just do

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a show. That's what it feels like, except comedy and news.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And so I don't ever want to stop doing it.

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 2>It's great. And because of that, we've been like filming

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Chad's performances at this thing, and I've been popping them

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>up and that I put it on. I put it on,

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>TikTok will. Here's what happened. I started doing more stand

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>up before the pandemic happened as Chad because I was like, well,

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I got a thing going here. I might as well

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>try it out and see where it goes. And I

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>did one routine right in twenty twenty one, right when

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>we started coming back, put up maybe a minute and

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 2>a half of it on TikTok, and it was one

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 2>of those things where it went viral really fast, and

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>so like all of a sudden instant, it was like notification.

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I had to turn my notifications off because it was

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 2>like your mother texting you, like somebody and you're like,

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that's all I kept thinking was, oh my god, somebody died.

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>So I turned off my notifications for like a week

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, now he's he's it's it's become a job.

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of streaming that we do do

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 2>YouTube streaming because and it was great because like I

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 2>learned kind of how to do all of that during

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the pandemic, because like I can't do the live show.

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.439
<v Speaker 2>So that was a significant blow. And so then like

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.639
<v Speaker 2>emailing everybody and saying, hey, guys, I'm not doing this anymore.

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do what I would do my ten minute

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>op ed thing on like Facebook, and they're like, you

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 2>should try Instagram, you should try YouTube, and I was like,

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 2>stop telling me what to do. But I did it anyway,

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and then kind of got a little savvy at doing that,

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>and then TikTok thing exploded, and then that drizzled out

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 2>into all the other things.

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, did you say you're doing You're on Twitch now.

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I did Twitch for a little while. It wasn't my favorite,

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to probably jump back on doing YouTube

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>right now. So there's a lot of stream on TikTok.

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>The way it'll work is if I'm doing a stream,

0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 2>which are usually Wednesdays and Thursdays, I'll do like an

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>hour on TikTok beforehand to like hype up the show,

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 2>and then I'll move everybody over to YouTube to watch

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>the stream. And it's been interesting because at first the

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 2>guys that I got contacted by from Twitch, they were like, hey,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>you have a really popular public character. You should do

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Twitch stuff. And I was like, I don't know what

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that is, and so we started doing it. They wanted

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 2>me to play Fortnite because I don't know why, and

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Okay, I mean, I guess that makes

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>sense because Fortnite is a very popular game. I played Fortnite.

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 2>That was a big pandemic activity that I got into,

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and it was a lot of fun. It's like playing

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>tag with your friends and I love it. Yeah, And

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.879
<v Speaker 2>they were like, you need to you should do this

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 2>on twitch as Chad and I was like, that is impossible.

0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Then they're like, what was like, because I don't know

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>if you know this, Chad is my hand and you

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>need the hand to play the game. You need two

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 2>of them, right, Actually it's a two thumber and so

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 2>double thumbs. And so they were like, oh, well, how

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>do we do this? And so we came up with

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>a My buddy Brian, who's been on a bunch of

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 2>streams with me, comes over and he's going to play Fortnite.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>And then I take the little cam and set it

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>up so that it's positioned so that you just see Chad,

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and I built him a little controller so he's like

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>furiously doing this while Brian's playing Fortnite. And that was

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.719
<v Speaker 2>fun for about three weeks and then I was like

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>all right, and so what I he was like. But

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.359
<v Speaker 2>but I gained a little following from that and I

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 2>was like, well, what can I game with one hand?

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 2>And it was like instant. My nineties savvy teenage self

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 2>came back and was like, you played a lot of

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 2>CD ROM games back in the day. You had asthma there.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 2>You weren't out, you were in, so you know how

0:19:55.440 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to do this. So I went on Steam and found

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>every nineties CD ROM game that I could think of,

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 2>all the King's Quest games, all the Space Quest games,

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 2>all the LucasArts games, and so it's great because it's

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 2>point and click, and so once a week I'm usually

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>like my elbows propped up here with a little camera

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and then my other hand is just like working its

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 2>way through, like full throttle or something like that. We

0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 2>played Missed once that was fun, and oh my god,

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 2>that's become the thing. So it's like I'm either showing

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 2>off what I did that week on TikTok, which I

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 2>do once a week, I'll or once a day I'll

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 2>pop a little a minute and a half of what

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 2>we did that week at the Green Mill. And then

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>on sometimes it's like Wednesdays and Thursdays, I'll be live

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube streaming a game. Sometimes we do like old

0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:51.439
<v Speaker 2>PSAs or safety videos or like cartoons that never aired,

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff, just like MST three, King the thing,

0:20:55.400 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, when it works, it's great. When I realized

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>just how low tech and new with this, I am

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 2>it's awful, cause like this setup right now, this is

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.359
<v Speaker 2>the most high tech I've been so far. Once we

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 2>moved into this new apartment, I was like, oh wow,

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 2>we have fiber, I can go, I can do all

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 2>kinds of stuff with it. And built a little desk

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 2>to have the mic here in the camera there. And

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>but like back when it was ham radio chords hanging

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 2>duct taped to the ceiling, I'm in a tank top

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 2>because it's a thousand degrees in my apartment and I've

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:37.199
<v Speaker 2>got this little puppet on my hand. I'm just like,

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>hey guys, we're fucking oh cool, we're playing this as

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>ah man, if people walked in, anyone could see me

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 2>through that window, was like, this man is on a

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 2>list and absolutely participated in January sixth, So big.

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Fun man, he has hit and he's hit rock.

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>It did not work out, Uh yeah, no, as it

0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 2>should know.

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>And there's there's a steep learning for you know, for

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those platforms. To Twitch in particular is

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.639
<v Speaker 1>one that you know once you get into the obs

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and there's just so many bells and whistles that you

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.959
<v Speaker 1>can add to that to those streams that you know,

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's amazing to watch somebody who's a pro

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 1>at it, you know, operate. It's just like, how are you.

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Teach me game? And you're twenty twenty years younger than

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you and you're just kind of like, well, we're we're good.

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>So we could just go to the seat. We'll just

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 2>walk into the sea and let you guys run the

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 2>planet because we're I'm in the way at this point.

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, please, I'm just gonna lay down and just never

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>get back.

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. You You've nailed it, way well done. You're

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>playing some classic Zeppelin.

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You're playing I can't set up a freaking nest. My

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.360
<v Speaker 1>nest and took me two hours, you're it's yeah, You're like.

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 2>It's the size of a coffee mug and it took

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 2>me two hours just to tell it what to do.

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.639
<v Speaker 2>And this yeah twenty five year old is like, hey man,

<v Speaker 1>But but so this show is the first in house

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>production of the company Collab, which is is a company

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.679
<v Speaker 1>that I started with my two brothers back in twenty twelve.

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But we started as digital content creator creators ourselves, making

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>online sketch, comedy videos, animation, all sorts of stuff like that,

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 1>super fun, and we were barely, you know, barely keeping

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the lights on, you know, barely scraping by, even though

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 1>we were like a preferred Google part ner where Google

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 1>would send uh their premium channels to come shoot at

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>our studio. We were kind of like the the YouTube

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>space before they built the YouTube space, And we would

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have like Deepak Chopra coming in once a week and

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>do YouTube videos and I'd be like running teleprompter for

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>him and like just putting it on the slowest setting

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 1>possible as it.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I know, this is Deepok Chopra's setting.

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a personal.

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Ten a time.

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.159
<v Speaker 1>We are all God in dress.

<v Speaker 2>Slow it down, Slow it down. He's overheating fast uh

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the uh yeah, And again I've only really like because

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing the Chad the Bird character live for things,

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 2>and I I mean we worked with some because like

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the show is pretty well known just in like the

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Comedy Circle, because like a lot of the stand ups

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 2>want to do it because they all want to play

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the Green Mill and that kind of put us into

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a bigger talent bracket, like Groflo has done at a bunch,

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Mark Marin has done a couple. I mean like name Drop,

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.000

<v Speaker 1>Who expected that? One?

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Zero people we had from Night Court come by ones.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 1>That was cool, But.

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we have it's a lot of and there. It's

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 2>always fun. The room is always great and it's always

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 2>like Chris red was was it was one of his

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>first shows. Was our show. Rommy Joseph has done it

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>a bunch anyway. Anyway anyway, but because of that, like

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 2>we I was like, well, why would I want to

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>do any other room? What's the point. This is the room?

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:46.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, we have about two hundred people a week

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 2>here and then everything shut down and it was like well,

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 2>now you got to come up with something different. And

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 2>then because of that, TikTok happens, TikTok Go's viral, and

0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 2>now all of those cats are all like, oh I,

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, are you still doing this? I'm like, oh yeah,

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 2>I haven't stopped. Do you want to give me a bump?

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Because that'd be nice? And so like, it's been an

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.479
<v Speaker 2>interesting like because now we're doing it live again, and

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 2>then it's all kind of slowly coming together in a lovely,

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 2>lovely cyclical kind of way, which is nice because you

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 2>it's one of those things where like you've been priming

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the pump, priming the pump, priming the pump, and you're like,

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>when is this going to strike? Should I stop reading?

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And you always think about that when you've got a

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 2>felt sock on your hand once a week, Should I

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 2>quiz this shit?

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Should I keep doing that?

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Luckily, I drink for free at the Green Mill, so

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 2>there's there's not a lot of times I really have

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to pump like think about it, and I feel like

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>that's the reason why they're like, well, you don't have

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to pay for drinks. We don't want you to think

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 2>about what you've been doing for a decade and change.

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Just keeping boozed up.

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 2>And he'll just I'll do the puppet share cool fresh

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 2>are you do you think about your future? You don't

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 2>want to do that. That's a terrible idea. Don't look

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 2>back and then like now it's now it's content creation.

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like building. And now the next step is tour.

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.199
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to tour in twenty twenty three, have

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:18.719
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of venues that we're going to hit up,

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 2>see what we doing to fundraise a little bit, and

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 2>then I'm gonna take a road trip for a few

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.199
<v Speaker 2>months and do it around the area. We'll be in

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>California for sure, but probably at the end of the tour.

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Because the whole thing about Chad is that Chad's from

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Laguna Beach. Because I used to live in Los Angeles

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and I lived in Culver Well, I live in Culver City.

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't live Nobody lives in LA You don't live I.

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Know what, I know it quite well. I was. I

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was a part of the Actors Gang Theater, which is

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:42.120
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah yeah.

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I lived right right like right where that in and

<v Speaker 1>I lived only open on like Tuesdays and time. I

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 1>thought four pm to nine.

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a set because that's the thing.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Iowa originally, so like coming so like Iowa Boston, La,

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:01.640
<v Speaker 2>because everybody's like, don't go to LA, don't go to LA.

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, no one can actually tell you

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 2>why you don't want to go to LA. It's just like,

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 2>oh no, no, don't do it. Don't do it. So

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm I mean, I'm in the art,

0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>so I gotta go figure this out. So I go there.

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I liked LA a lot, but like we so everywhere

<v Speaker 2>Video and actually she's right over there.

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>You're there, Oh, hey, hey Kesha.

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Our building. Hey. We were on Robertson and National, so

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you're like right off the ten and our backyard is

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the old Fox. Well, I guess it's still the Fox

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Studio building, but Fox Studios isn't there anymore. It's Nakatomi

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Plaza from Diehard.

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I used to live I used to live in

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Century City and right on the other side of Nkotomy Plaza,

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and then I also used to live in Palms right

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>by like Boardwalk Aladin and the yeah, the karaoke barb there.

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh so like that, and you know, being a having

0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>never been to Los Angeles, that was like every night

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>we would just sit on the balcony and just watch

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the helicopters circle MAKOTOI Plaza and I'm like, oh, I

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:24.719
<v Speaker 2>now understand every eighties action movie. It's just that's what

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>was there.

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll just shoots also where all of our taxpayer dollars

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 1>are going to those circling police choppers.

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Police choppers, which look I live in Chicago. I've seen

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 2>some things, but I have never experienced anything as exciting

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 2>as watching a helicopter pull someone over on the highway.

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 2>And it is it is an event, like if that's

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 2>if you see that going down, if you see that

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:56.560
<v Speaker 2>searchlight skitting by, you like, pull over and watch that

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 2>go down, because it is wild.

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>You're paying for Yeah, yeah, I mean you might as

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>well an expensive way to police a city.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Being on the beach because we would walk down because

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, again Midwesterners, so we walk everywhere, which I

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 2>think is hilarious because it's sixty eight, seventy eight degrees

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 2>every single day in La and no one walks anywhere. Meanwhile, Chicago,

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 2>it's negative, screw you out, and people are just like,

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.479
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go to the Story. You guys want to go, Hey,

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll just keep going. We'll walk to work y seven

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:28.520
<v Speaker 2>layers layer. But like, yeah, we would walk down to

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Venice Beach and people are like, why are you guys walking?

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 2>We're like, cause it's seventy eight.

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Go because why aren't you what?

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 2>And then we realized, oh, because there are no sidewalks

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 2>that go the direction you want to go.

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>So we were like, have you ever seen La Story City?

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Perfect?

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a perfect I think the most quintessential spot on

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>scene is that he walks out the front door, gets

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>in his car, drives to his neighbor's house one door down.

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Anybody that asks like what was La Like, I'm like,

0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 2>there's only one movie and it's La Story by Steve Martin,

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly what it's like. It's not a joke, that's

0:30:59.000 --> 0:30:59.560
<v Speaker 2>just how it is.

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Still Sands. I watched it maybe a year ago and

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Yep, a lot of this still hits.

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Still pretty true. The whole when everybody's ordering decaf cappuccinos.

0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, yeah, that was that it would take

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 2>an hour to order.

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>And that I forgot about the like the road rage

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 1>scene where he's like, oh, it's open season on the

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>four or five and he just pull everybody pulls out

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a gun and just starts shooting at each other in See.

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>What's funny about that is that I'm like, that's more

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Chicago now, right, but.

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Not as bad as I guess there was a time.

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 1>There was a time in la where everyone was just

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>like shooting at each other.

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I've seen I've seen people throwing like when you cause,

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago, if you get off of the wrong neighborhood,

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you can easily find yourself, you know, know where you

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>need to go. And it really isn't that bad. Chicago's

0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 2>what the ninth safest city in the world in the

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>country right now, and so I think there's a lot

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 2>of and I'm really only saying this for the podcast

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 2>so that people can stop saying it, because like we're

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>getting a little tired of it, because Fox News and

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the Trump Universe has decided that in the multiverse of

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the world where this Trump first exist, that Chicago is

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>this hellscape where it's just like everybody's shooting everybody, parents

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 2>are setting their kids on fire. You can't drive.

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere black on black, and it's like, don't say that.

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Also what and so no, that's not what it's like.

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 2>But we are going to continue saying it because anyone

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 2>who believes it, we don't want you here anyway. So

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 2>as far as I'm concerned, oh, it's a hellscape. Man,

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I can't even go outside. It's awful. But like I

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:29.959
<v Speaker 2>never you know, whenever you get lost in Chicago, you can.

0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 2>It's you can find your your way back LA before GPS.

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't even I can't even imagine what that would

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 2>have been like for me.

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It's my I grew up here, and yeah, I had

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a freaking Thomas Guide in my car, and you know, yeah,

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you'd have to be like, okay, you got to get

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 1>on the on the We're going to take the one

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to the ten to the one five.

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>We're on the six O five. There's the six o five.

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 2>It's been here the whole time. It's over the four

0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 2>of five.

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never looked at who knows where the ten, the

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>two ten, and the five meeting San Dimas man it's true.

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Having been to San Dimas many times, I uh so, yeah.

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm from Iowa and I'm an idiot, I was like, oh,

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I funk in gotta go to Laguna Beach. I gotta

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 2>check out you know, San Dimas. I gotta go see

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 2>where Bill and Ted was, you know, and none of

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it was filmed there, so whatever. So I was like, oh,

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 2>this is it? Okay? Cool? I mean there's a counter there.

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I don't remember it. Maybe there was a

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>counter there, maybe there was an an astro, I don't remember. Uh.

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 2>And So I went to Laguna Beach and I had

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:29.960
<v Speaker 2>friends that were from Laguna Beach and like just talking

0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 2>to them. That's where the Chad character came from. Was

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>me making fun of like Alex Winter doing San Dimas

0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>teenager mixed with Laguna Beach teenagers. That I know that

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 2>because you know, they all sort of sound like this,

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:46.959
<v Speaker 2>like it's not like a real accent because nobody really

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>sounds like that. They just do this. I don't know why, because.

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Like, have you seen those two guys who go to

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>like they go to like, uh, you know, city council meetings.

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, like we're super bummed that.

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's where the Chad character came from. Because I

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 2>so when Chris was like, hey, I want you to

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.520
<v Speaker 2>do this Chad thing once a week, I started remember,

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I started thinking about like Bill and Ted Zacks on Adventure,

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 2>which I still think is one of the finest movies

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 2>ever made. And I'll stand back. I love the trilogy,

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 2>like all of it is great. Yeah, Bi, yeah, but

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 2>the first one is one of those movies where if

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>you go back and rewatch and just take it in,

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:29.800
<v Speaker 2>it's brilliant and it's it's the funniest part in that movie. Sidebar.

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I think the funniest part in that movie is when

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:36.319
<v Speaker 2>they land this is how good this movie as well?

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 2>They land their time machine in the back of Bill's

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 2>New Moms Play Missy's doings. She's doing yard work and

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 2>all the historical figures come out and they have to

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>pretend that they aren't who they are, like as if

0:34:56.000 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 2>she would know or believe them, And the way they

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 2>do it is just casually like make up names. They're like, ah,

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 2>this is Herman the Kid, Bob Genghis Khan, so creates Johnson.

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:17.400
<v Speaker 2>It's so good because I'm like, like that Matt Herman

0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the Kid, Like, oh, it's Herman the Kid.

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, right right. And then and you've also got

<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, what does Rufus do? He doesn't do much,

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 2>but you just make sure that they remember what they

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 2>He basically just reminds them what they're doing, like he's

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 2>their r a that just shows up. It's like, hey, guys,

<v Speaker 2>Ted trying to do a history report about whatever the

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>news story is. So it's a lot of Chad being like, yeah, okay,

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 2>so a lot of people are going to tell you that,

0:36:14.800 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you know that the fact that it's one hundred and

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 2>ten in Texas is normal. It turns out that's Vegas.

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not normal, and here's why. And so that's like

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.080
<v Speaker 2>every every week.

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta send you. I just recently wrote a sketch

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that is Bill and Ted and Thomas Jeffers excellent. And

0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:35.320
<v Speaker 1>they're basically like a lot of people have been talking about,

0:36:35.560 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Constitution recently and like what is constitutional?

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So we thought, why not bring one of the founding

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>fathers who wrote the thing to find out what his

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 1>take is on the matters at hand. And he's just

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Jefferson, Yeah, exactly, and he's just like you, ma'am,

0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.880
<v Speaker 1>like why are your shoulders exposed? And like where's your chaperone?

0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Why is your slave telling you what to do?

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>He's my At one part, they're like, just so you

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 1>know slavery was abolished in eighteen sixty five before you

0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 1>say anything like horribly racist, And Thomas Jefferson's like, great, great, cool.

0:37:10.080 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Good to know they Hey cool, I love it.

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I want very happy. I want very happy for them.

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.880
<v Speaker 2>That's great. Yeah, that's like the whole Chad thing is

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 2>that it's like a little mix of like a nineties

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 2>nineties surfer stoner because that was like the ultimate uh

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 2>intelligence level when we were in high school. Was like

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>these guys understood time travel because they were so not

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.160
<v Speaker 2>interested in everything else that they could wrap their minds

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.879
<v Speaker 2>around this impossible concept like these they they not only

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:46.239
<v Speaker 2>did they get it, they rocked it. And and in

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the end, as.

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 1>We started getting into like, oh, we gotta put this

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:54.640
<v Speaker 1>thing here later, that shit was.

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Like excellent, excellent. All three of those movies are fantastic.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I when when the third one came out face the music, Oh,

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I cried. I still cry. At the end of that

0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:09.640
<v Speaker 2>movie when they asked their dads to come on stage

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and they rock out, I was like one last ride

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of the wild Stallions. This is such a specific thing

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:19.239
<v Speaker 2>going on that a very specific generation of Americans will

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 2>understand because Bill and Ted was a phenomenon. When that

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 2>came out, it was supposed to it's just like It's

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Ventura and all that stuff. They were supposed to just

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>be stupid one off stoner comedies. Bill and Ted changed

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the lexicon, like every like how we spoke shifted when

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 2>that movie came out. I just don't. I don't. I

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:45.399
<v Speaker 2>just don't think kids today will understand. They won't. Why

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 2>would they? But like also, why does it matter? It's

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:49.439
<v Speaker 2>totally different now, but.

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Like station station station, Station, station.

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Station, and like yeah, and then Willie Sadler is Death

0:38:56.560 --> 0:38:59.720
<v Speaker 2>is like, this is the the greatest cameo of all time,

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:02.759
<v Speaker 2>is him as Death and then him showing up and

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Face the music is legendary, I think, fantastic.

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then also no, ho hank Robots?

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Is that? God?

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh God?

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 2>But like the scene like when they because like spoiler

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 2>alert for those of you who have not seen Faced

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:21.839
<v Speaker 2>the music, Like, come on, guys, seriously that when they

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:25.200
<v Speaker 2>accidentally kill a bunch of people in one scene, and

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting there. I was like, oh damn, they

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:28.919
<v Speaker 2>just killed a bunch of guys. And I was like, ah, wait,

0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that's right.

0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 1>They know that travel Death was in the band and Death.

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Remember fix that.

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.920
<v Speaker 2>They can fix that, wrap it up, like that's right.

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 2>He and I just remember sitting there in the in

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>my apartment because we were on a zoom call, a

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 2>bunch of us watching that movie together, and I just

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 2>we were all just like they on the little screens

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 2>were all just like and I was like, guys, no,

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's cool. Death used to be in their band.

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And then you realize they're bass player.

0:39:56.360 --> 0:40:00.160
<v Speaker 2>He used to don't you remember he played bass and

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:03.440
<v Speaker 2>a bab and like and like had his own solo

0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 2>career if you remember from the credits from Bogus Journey.

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 2>And then I was like, how much of this series

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 2>is ingrained in my mind? And it Yeah. I did

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 2>a whole retrospective with Chad on the history of Bill

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and Ted's Excellent Adventure for a YouTube video during the pandemic,

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was the most fun I've had doing any

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of this. Was like, that's when I learned that Jane

0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Wheedland from the Go Gos is Joan of Arc in

0:40:32.280 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. The woman who wrote vacation.

0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that's right, it's vacation. She it was either vacation, Yeah,

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's vacation that the I could google it,

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 2>but you can as well. But yeah, Wheedland wrote, she

0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 2>you know from the Go Gos lead singer, Yeah, and

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a guitarist I think too. But like she's also she's

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 2>not just Joan of ARC, she's also the singing telegram

0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.880
<v Speaker 2>girl from Clue, Oh.

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:02.840
<v Speaker 1>My god, and that was like, literally just watched Clue

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>five days ago. Excellent, And because I'm directing it at

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Culver City High School, it's all coming together.

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:13.040
<v Speaker 2>We never leave it.

0:41:13.040 --> 0:41:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I was just watching that movie. Yeah, that that very

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.760
<v Speaker 1>quick cameo of the singing telegrammer who gets instantly shot.

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Instantly shot.

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad. I feel bad for whatever high school

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 1>kid gets cast.

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:27.760
<v Speaker 2>The easiest refecond. You just have to tap dates briefly,

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 2>but know that one of the members of the Go

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Gos was that character and was Joan of Arc. And

0:41:34.400 --> 0:41:36.840
<v Speaker 2>then I went on this deep dive into like who

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:40.480
<v Speaker 2>played the little Finger Wizard moments whenever they would do

0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 2>their little d's because three separate guys did it, and

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:47.400
<v Speaker 2>they're all from different like metal bands, but in face

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the music, it's Toast and a BOSSI from Animals as

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Leaders is the guitarist that every time they do their

0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 2>little wheedly it's him, And I was like that he's

0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 2>a legend, Like he's he is top tier. These the

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.000
<v Speaker 2>best guitar player in the world right now. And you

0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:04.520
<v Speaker 2>call this guy up, He's like, hey, do you want

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 2>to do like a little remember Bernie. He's like, oh yeah,

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 2>hell yeah man.

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 1>For Bill and Ted, Yes, well that's anything.

0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 2>And that comes down to like the weird Al thing

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.080
<v Speaker 2>where it's like you get all these legendary performers that

0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 2>anyone would do anything for, and then there's people like

0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:23.520
<v Speaker 2>weird Al, and then there's novelty acts like Bill and

0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Ted that anyone, anyone would do this for free.

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:27.080
<v Speaker 1>That would just bend over.

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I think that's that's the true history of

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 2>of like American pop culture. It's like, yeah, but like

0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Demento and like how many people would how many

0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 2>big like platinum recording artists would do anything to be

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:45.239
<v Speaker 2>on a Weird Al album? You know?

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So I just watched Bullet Training, oh yeah, and

0:42:55.800 --> 0:42:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's and it kind of suffers from that mentality of

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:02.440
<v Speaker 1>like people just anyone will be in this Brad pit

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Laed movie, but it's not that good, Like this script swing.

0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:09.759
<v Speaker 1>There's a bunch of swing and miss jokes just like

0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:12.359
<v Speaker 1>big old whiffs in it, and it's like, guys should

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have spend a little more time on this.

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Well. I also think that that's what happens when you

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:17.760
<v Speaker 2>do high profile people like that, is that it stops

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.960
<v Speaker 2>being funny because you're like, well, but your Brad Pitt though,

0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Like it's funny when you're a cameo and you show

0:43:23.960 --> 0:43:25.440
<v Speaker 2>up and you're like, oh, Brad Pitt's.

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Here, he's great pit and he's like, my dad's a

0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:29.480
<v Speaker 1>weather man, Like that's why you're so handsome.

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Fine, great, get in there like him showing up in

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 2>like all of the the because like we those of

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 2>us who grew up with Brad Pitt obviously, like we

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 2>remember him from like twelve same block from Yeah, yeah, man,

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:43.400
<v Speaker 2>he's just Brad from the block.

0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Man, Yeah, just hanging out, just play stickball together.

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.560
<v Speaker 2>He used to get Taketos gets seven to eleven with

0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 2>him and just hang out. Man. He was crazy talking

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:53.799
<v Speaker 2>about the dream. Yeah, but yeah, I know he because

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:55.959
<v Speaker 2>he was like it was like twelve monkeys, like he

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 2>he started out as a character actor and then became

0:43:58.160 --> 0:43:59.719
<v Speaker 2>like a heart throb. And it's weird to go the

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 2>first now because you're like, no, you're too pretty, don't

0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 2>stop it. Come on. I tried.

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I just like how I just always notice now when

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:14.360
<v Speaker 1>he's eating, because every scene he's eating. That's like his

0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:17.359
<v Speaker 1>go to acting move in any role is like, can

0:44:17.400 --> 0:44:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I just eating an apple in the scene, Like the

0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>amount of scenes where Brad is eating an apple is you.

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Know, because I'm hungry.

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.560
<v Speaker 1>That's smart, that's but that's just like character. That's my

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.040
<v Speaker 1>character choice. Like I just I'm always snacking.

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Brad, Do you just want to get lunch?

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.279
<v Speaker 1>We gotta work, we gotta go, we gotta keep going,

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.360
<v Speaker 1>keep going. I went to so I feel like this

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 1>guy is like a sunflower scene guy, So like he's

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just always got a handful of sunflowing.

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Sure, okay, what he does. I just think that when

0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you get those kinds of comedies, with the exception of

0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 2>like Clue, because we were talking about Clue, where you

0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:56.200
<v Speaker 2>have a bunch of big name stars in this movie,

0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:59.040
<v Speaker 2>which I guess, I mean they were big then too,

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 2>so it wasn't like they weren't character arctics. I mean

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:06.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe Christopher Lloyd and Michael McKean, But like all the

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:07.600
<v Speaker 2>women in that movie.

0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Are Bernadette Peters, flames, Madeleine Cohn fire?

0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Was that Madeline Cohn was?

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 1>She She's a miss White. She's just that one flames

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:21.240
<v Speaker 1>class flames on the side.

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 2>She's she does these little things in the movie. So

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 2>my dad went to school with madelon Con, So she's

0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:28.479
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a legend in our family, like because

0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:30.560
<v Speaker 2>like blazing saddles all that kind of stuff. Also, she's

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:32.239
<v Speaker 2>a legend in the world. I don't know if you've

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 2>heard of her. Anyway, I don't know why that was

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 2>a flex.

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I confused her with Burnett, but like her an idiot.

0:45:41.320 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 2>She does these little moments in that movie where she'll

0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:46.520
<v Speaker 2>like she's her breath stops in her chest, like she'll

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:48.719
<v Speaker 2>try to say something. She's just kind of and it

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 2>kills me every time because I'm like, yeah, same on

0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 2>a daily basis. But like those kinds of like movies

0:45:55.480 --> 0:45:58.319
<v Speaker 2>like Clue Knives Out is another a good example of

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:01.080
<v Speaker 2>like bringing a list actors and making it funny and

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 2>still like you can get past the fact that all

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:06.160
<v Speaker 2>of these people are famous. But it's a tricky tightrope.

0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I think the only other one that I can think

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:09.120
<v Speaker 2>of right now that I really liked was Get Shorty,

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 2>because you know, you had Travolta, you had Hackman, you

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.759
<v Speaker 2>had Riney Russo, you had del Ray Lindau, you had

0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:18.399
<v Speaker 2>James Gandolfini in that movie, and Divito as Divito and

0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:21.239
<v Speaker 2>give it to me on a love that's my second

0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 2>favorite movie of all time. But like Bullet Train didn't

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:31.120
<v Speaker 2>let them be characters, they just were them.

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was just Channing Tatum sitting on a train.

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, And I was like, you know, okay, okay. I

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 2>mean it's pretty, there's a lot of money behind it.

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But I always get wary when those things happen where

0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:46.239
<v Speaker 2>it's like big name director, big name actors comedy. I'm like,

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:48.440
<v Speaker 2>this isn't gonna be funny.

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh it was, but yeah, man, it was like a

0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:54.479
<v Speaker 1>B minus where it was like, there's some really fun

0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:57.160
<v Speaker 1>parts in here. I don't know Michael Shannon too. I mean,

0:46:57.200 --> 0:46:58.799
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's kind of a spoiler, but yeah, well

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Michael has shown up in a wig. Yeah, Michael Shannon

0:47:01.160 --> 0:47:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and a wig in a Russian accent.

0:47:02.719 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean hometown pride there, you know, because he still

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:08.480
<v Speaker 2>lives here. He's still around all the time. He shows

0:47:08.520 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 2>up all kinds of wild places. It's funny because he's

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 2>like kind of like a sasquatch in Chicago where everyone's

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 2>got a Michael Shannon's sighting story where they're.

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Like, yeah, he's just always blurry.

0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's moving too, fast. But yeah, that's that's the

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that like in Chicago, the few of us that

0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:29.960
<v Speaker 2>actually get like a national platform. Everybody sees around all

0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the time, and I think it's on purpose. I think

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael Shannon is just like walking around being like, I

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:36.960
<v Speaker 2>just want to remind you all who's turf you're on.

0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:39.240
<v Speaker 2>This is Shannon Town.

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly.

0:47:41.080 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Lots of big eyed, staredowns and you're like, well, I'm

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:45.640
<v Speaker 2>not going to fight you, man, You're tall.

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:49.320
<v Speaker 1>He's really tall too, and I bet and intense.

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 2>He's very intense.

0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:52.479
<v Speaker 1>I remember. One of my favorite things he's ever done

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is he did a dramatic reading of that Oh the Sorority.

0:47:57.680 --> 0:47:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's excellent.

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:03.120
<v Speaker 1>If you if anybody who's listened you hasn't seen that, please.

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Just google Michael Shannon Sorority Girl and you're welcome.

0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh well, Josh, we only have a few minutes left.

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:15.239
<v Speaker 1>We didn't even really get into a story, but I

0:48:15.239 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 1>mean many stories were told.

0:48:17.280 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 2>But hey, it was a sampler. It was like a flight.

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was kind of a sizzler.

0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, said tapas. We had story tapas for this episode,

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:27.720
<v Speaker 2>totally out of format.

0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh, if if you, if there is a tight, you know,

0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>a tight story that you have that you want to

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 1>throw throw down. I'd love to get a little story

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:38.960
<v Speaker 1>time in.

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:42.080
<v Speaker 2>So, as previously mentioned, I went to school in Boston,

0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh you know, and uh, you know I'm from Iowa.

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't really know any better. Uh and uh, I

0:48:48.560 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, didn't I have my first like real drink

0:48:51.040 --> 0:48:54.879
<v Speaker 2>in college, you know, never touched anything until then late

0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:59.680
<v Speaker 2>bloom late bloomer and then went ham and don't remember

0:48:59.760 --> 0:49:05.200
<v Speaker 2>forman year at all. I don't recommend that path. I say,

0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 2>start when you're ready. I just was like, well, I

0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:11.000
<v Speaker 2>should probably do this because I'm really uptight, and then

0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:15.160
<v Speaker 2>woke up and you know, suddenly I'm like bisexual and

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:18.120
<v Speaker 2>just expend. I'm like, oh, I had no idea. Oh

0:49:18.120 --> 0:49:20.640
<v Speaker 2>this is awesome. What a great weekend I tried.

0:49:20.760 --> 0:49:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I tried black tar heroin.

0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:24.719
<v Speaker 2>And I'm in a polyamorous relationship now it's such a

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 2>good time. So yeah, no, but like college was wild.

0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 2>But the one story I do really actually remember from college,

0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and I can tell you because I thought this would

0:49:33.160 --> 0:49:35.120
<v Speaker 2>be kind of fun to to give you a little,

0:49:35.200 --> 0:49:38.479
<v Speaker 2>a little adventure story that would actually make a very

0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:40.880
<v Speaker 2>good comedy with a bunch of a list actors. So

0:49:41.120 --> 0:49:44.839
<v Speaker 2>my buddy Sam, who builds cars, that was his thing

0:49:44.880 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 2>because he's a he's from like northern Massachusetts area, so

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:51.520
<v Speaker 2>he's from Grotten which is famous for car lots and

0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:56.239
<v Speaker 2>serial killers. So he builds cars, and to me, that's

0:49:56.280 --> 0:49:57.840
<v Speaker 2>just fascinating because I'm you know, I don't know, I

0:49:57.840 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything about cars. So he we went out

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:03.879
<v Speaker 2>to a car a car yard and found an old

0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:08.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty six Chevrolet station Wagon and we fix it

0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:11.319
<v Speaker 2>up kind of three breaks worked so you could change

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.560
<v Speaker 2>lanes by hitting the brakes and it would swing its

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:15.360
<v Speaker 2>ass into the oncoming traffic.

0:50:15.880 --> 0:50:17.960
<v Speaker 1>This is all coming from the guy who can't set

0:50:18.000 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>up the nests.

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, it all checks out. I didn't do anything.

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 2>I just held screwdrivers and smoked. Yeah so, and drank

0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 2>drink and drank a lot. And so now we're going

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:32.879
<v Speaker 2>to drive to my parents place in Iowa, where I'm from.

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:35.120
<v Speaker 2>We're going to drive from Boston to Iowa. It's going

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to be the great American road trip. You know, in

0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the middle of school. This is the kind of guy that,

0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:40.319
<v Speaker 2>like you'd be in the middle class. And I get

0:50:40.320 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 2>a text message which we did have We didn't have

0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:43.880
<v Speaker 2>smartphones yet, but we did have text messages and I

0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:45.239
<v Speaker 2>get a text me like look out the Windo and

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I look at the window class and he'd be in

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the parking lot in a suit with an Audie just like, Hey,

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm test driving this. You want to go? And I'm

0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:53.400
<v Speaker 2>like I'm in class and he's like, I know, do

0:50:53.440 --> 0:50:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you want to go? And I'm like yeah, okay.

0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So you know he's got some Ferris Bueller VI.

0:50:58.360 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He was a living Ferris Bueller. So we ended up

0:51:02.600 --> 0:51:05.920
<v Speaker 2>building this car. We decided to chrome the whole thing

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:08.799
<v Speaker 2>because we were insane, and we soldered a portion out

0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:11.759
<v Speaker 2>eleven spoiler on the roof so it looked like in

0:51:11.840 --> 0:51:15.040
<v Speaker 2>our minds, we were like, we'll call it the Moon Doggie.

0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:18.760
<v Speaker 2>It's space car. To anyone else, it's the Homer car

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:21.960
<v Speaker 2>from the Simpsons episode. And it just looked like a nightmare.

0:51:23.280 --> 0:51:26.920
<v Speaker 2>And so we drove this nineteen eighty six Frankenstein monster

0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:30.520
<v Speaker 2>car with three breaks that worked from Boston to Des

0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Moines twice, and on the way there the first time,

0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:37.000
<v Speaker 2>we decided, because we were high, that we were going

0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:39.080
<v Speaker 2>to check out Niagara Falls because I've never been to

0:51:39.120 --> 0:51:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Niagara Falls. I won't check it out, so I fall

0:51:41.280 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 2>asleep in the back, which we turned into like a

0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:46.440
<v Speaker 2>little lounge couch, like no seatbelts. It was just like

0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:49.440
<v Speaker 2>throw pillows and cow and you know, and the radio

0:51:49.480 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't work. We had to have a CD player with us,

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:54.040
<v Speaker 2>so every time we hit a bump, it would skip.

0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Greatest road trip ever. So here we are driving through

0:51:58.600 --> 0:52:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the thing. Meanwhile, any car coming from the oncoming lane

0:52:02.280 --> 0:52:04.880
<v Speaker 2>was like swerving because it was chrome. So if it

0:52:04.920 --> 0:52:08.359
<v Speaker 2>was in the middle of the day, just blast blinding

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 2>comet coming at you like like just like a mirrored sunglass,

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:16.759
<v Speaker 2>just coming right at your face, just a disco and

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:19.080
<v Speaker 2>you could hear it coming too, because as I said,

0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:21.400
<v Speaker 2>three breaks work, so it was just like cockcha cockacha,

0:52:21.400 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 2>cockacha cockag like and you're blind and you just stop.

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:27.360
<v Speaker 2>So like we got there in record time because everyone

0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 2>pulled over. So there I'm passed out in backseat. I

0:52:31.239 --> 0:52:34.719
<v Speaker 2>wake up. Guns just guns all over us, people in

0:52:35.040 --> 0:52:38.799
<v Speaker 2>swat gear, aks, all kinds of things, and I'm in

0:52:38.840 --> 0:52:44.280
<v Speaker 2>a baja and hemp shorts and birkenstock sandals and blue

0:52:44.320 --> 0:52:49.920
<v Speaker 2>hair and mutton chopsreaking, just reeking and I get out

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:53.560
<v Speaker 2>of the car and I'm like, this is where I die,

0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and so Sam and I are like eh. So then

0:52:56.520 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 2>they bring us they you know, they search the car.

0:52:58.600 --> 0:53:00.239
<v Speaker 2>They're like do we We're going to search the and

0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.120
<v Speaker 2>we were like, please, don't. We just built it. It's

0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:04.719
<v Speaker 2>held together with duct tape. And they're like, yeah, we're

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:06.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna take it apart. And we were like, oh, maybe

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:09.400
<v Speaker 2>they'll put it back together better than we did. So

0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:14.040
<v Speaker 2>they take us into the police station and I remember

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:16.920
<v Speaker 2>so so the cops like points at me and he's like,

0:53:16.960 --> 0:53:18.600
<v Speaker 2>come with me again. We don't know where we are.

0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I wake up two guns. So cop brings me into

0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the bag full on body cavity search. So I have

0:53:25.120 --> 0:53:28.200
<v Speaker 2>an officer getting to know me really well at nine

0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning. And then you leave and Sam

0:53:32.239 --> 0:53:33.879
<v Speaker 2>sitting in the lobby and I'm like, it's your turn.

0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:36.799
<v Speaker 2>He's like why. I'm like, ah, you'll see. So then

0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:40.160
<v Speaker 2>now if all of that excitement's over, we're sitting in

0:53:40.200 --> 0:53:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the office of what we assume is the police chief

0:53:42.800 --> 0:53:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and he's just like so, yeah, like we found a

0:53:45.920 --> 0:53:48.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of pot. Not much, but you know, a bunch

0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:52.839
<v Speaker 2>you guys know it's illegal to bring pot into Canada, right,

0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:56.319
<v Speaker 2>And we both said we're in Canada and you could

0:53:56.320 --> 0:54:00.279
<v Speaker 2>just see the police chief just like you fucking idiots.

0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:03.399
<v Speaker 2>He's just like, I think we're gonna let you go

0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:06.399
<v Speaker 2>with a warning because you don't know where you are

0:54:06.440 --> 0:54:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and you're too stupid to be drug smugglers. And we're

0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:11.560
<v Speaker 2>like absolutely total idiots. Here have you seen the car

0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:14.399
<v Speaker 2>we drove here in uh and so I was banned

0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:16.680
<v Speaker 2>from Canada for two years for this thing.

0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Did I keep thinking about stay out of my beach community.

0:54:21.000 --> 0:54:25.000
<v Speaker 2>So as we're leaving, Sam had a bunch of CDs

0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.040
<v Speaker 2>in the car. He was like, none of us spoke

0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:28.840
<v Speaker 2>because like the weed has worn off, Our weed was

0:54:28.880 --> 0:54:31.840
<v Speaker 2>now confiscated. We had just been fingered and left for

0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:36.640
<v Speaker 2>dead in Canada. We're driving back to the States, total silence.

0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Sam's like rummaging through the CD booklet for those of

0:54:40.520 --> 0:54:42.799
<v Speaker 2>you who are from you know nowadays, that's a book

0:54:42.840 --> 0:54:45.640
<v Speaker 2>of CDs. Look it up. He finds one, puts it

0:54:45.640 --> 0:54:50.000
<v Speaker 2>in the logic yeah case logic, oh man, so yeah,

0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:52.120
<v Speaker 2>puts it in the CD player closes that. We get

0:54:52.120 --> 0:54:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to the border, the border guy just goes, you know,

0:54:54.239 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 2>do you have a good time in Canada, and I

0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:59.319
<v Speaker 2>swear this is one hundred percent. Try. Sam looks him

0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 2>in the eye, just hits play and it's born in

0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the USA, and he just flipped off the border guard

0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and drove away. And I was like, impressive, Sam, but

0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe we don't piss off the border security. So anyway,

0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:14.120
<v Speaker 2>now now we're into it. Now we're back in America.

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:17.920
<v Speaker 2>We're driving back to Iowa. It's late, we're high, we're tired.

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:22.719
<v Speaker 2>We shwagged over and we're in Illinois and we get

0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:25.920
<v Speaker 2>pulled over by the state police for driving too fast

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:26.319
<v Speaker 2>or whatever.

0:55:26.360 --> 0:55:26.680
<v Speaker 1>They said.

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:28.120
<v Speaker 2>They were like, you guys know how fast we were

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:30.200
<v Speaker 2>going to Sam and I were like probably, I don't.

0:55:30.000 --> 0:55:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Know, and they were at this speedometer.

0:55:32.040 --> 0:55:34.840
<v Speaker 2>We just we just basically it's a post it note.

0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:39.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't really do anything, so the cops. So we

0:55:39.960 --> 0:55:42.280
<v Speaker 2>were just like tired. We were just like yes, fine whatever.

0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:44.120
<v Speaker 2>They're like, so we have to search the vehicle and

0:55:44.200 --> 0:55:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Sam was like not really, and he's like, well, I'm

0:55:45.920 --> 0:55:48.520
<v Speaker 2>not gonna find it, just like I'm not gonna find

0:55:48.520 --> 0:55:50.440
<v Speaker 2>anything in there, am I. And Sam looks him in

0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the eye and goes, shit, no, man. The Canadians took

0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 2>it all and then the cop ies big goes what

0:55:56.920 --> 0:55:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, yeah, man, we got arrested in Canada

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:03.279
<v Speaker 2>for trying to fucking smoke on the border. And a

0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>cop was like, hang on one second, goes back to

0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the squad car. Another cop comes over and it's just like, hey,

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.320
<v Speaker 2>you guys got a minute and it's like two am

0:56:12.400 --> 0:56:15.279
<v Speaker 2>on the highway and we're like, yeah, we're cool. And

0:56:15.320 --> 0:56:18.239
<v Speaker 2>he's like, so we just stole these cigars from the

0:56:18.280 --> 0:56:21.479
<v Speaker 2>mayor's office and this is Illinois, and he's like, you guys,

0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:23.920
<v Speaker 2>want to you smoke a cigar? And we're like yeah.

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:28.120
<v Speaker 2>So now these two state troopers are sitting on the trap.

0:56:28.200 --> 0:56:31.839
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm thinking, smoking cigars literally, just like hey, man,

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.600
<v Speaker 2>tell us the story about the drugs and the Canadians.

0:56:35.920 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 2>And it was then that I realized that that is

0:56:37.520 --> 0:56:39.799
<v Speaker 2>my best story. And out of all the things in

0:56:39.840 --> 0:56:42.319
<v Speaker 2>my life I've been through, this story got us free

0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:46.440
<v Speaker 2>cigars on the highway from state troopers at two o'clock

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:48.840
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, and so yeah, that's the end of

0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the movie. Is us sitting on the roof of this o,

0:56:51.200 --> 0:56:53.640
<v Speaker 2>on the hood of this state trooper car with these

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:58.320
<v Speaker 2>two cops talking about Canada and that that was the

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:01.120
<v Speaker 2>last time I ever drove from Boston to Des Moines.

0:57:02.000 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 1>It could also be the start at the Oh.

0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I love that time travel though it's gonna have to

0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:09.520
<v Speaker 2>have try. We're gonna meet ourselves from the future in it.

0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.760
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's that's my best story because it's proven,

0:57:14.280 --> 0:57:16.920
<v Speaker 2>because it's good enough to not just get out of

0:57:16.920 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 2>a speeding ticket, but to get free cigars from state

0:57:19.680 --> 0:57:20.880
<v Speaker 2>troopers in Illinois.

0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Only this this movie would be better than Bullet Trains,

0:57:25.600 --> 0:57:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that, But I don't know if it would

0:57:27.280 --> 0:57:28.320
<v Speaker 1>be as good as Bill and Ted.

0:57:28.680 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 2>No, it's too dark. Better than Bullet right now. Bill

0:57:30.760 --> 0:57:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and Ted's is adorable, it's candy. This has got some

0:57:33.720 --> 0:57:38.560
<v Speaker 2>real world implications about privileged youth crossing borders with no consents.

0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:41.400
<v Speaker 2>But I would see Brad Pitt in it. He'd be

0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the Canadian chief of police though Mountain, Yeah, that's his cameo.

0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:48.320
<v Speaker 2>But if if I were to pick somebody to play

0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 2>me in the movie'd be what's his name? Eddie Munson

0:57:52.600 --> 0:57:54.600
<v Speaker 2>from a Stranger Thing.

0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:58.000
<v Speaker 1>From Stranger Things, good choice, And then for.

0:57:58.120 --> 0:58:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Sam Kyle McLoughlin. But he has to play a college student.

0:58:01.880 --> 0:58:03.080
<v Speaker 2>He has to play twenty two.

0:58:04.240 --> 0:58:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I would if I was in it, I would pick

0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Gaiton Moundurazo from Strangers.

0:58:08.120 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Also great oh Man, him and Finn Wolf heard all

0:58:12.240 --> 0:58:12.720
<v Speaker 2>in on that.

0:58:12.760 --> 0:58:15.120
<v Speaker 1>What a good buddy buddy it is.

0:58:15.960 --> 0:58:18.640
<v Speaker 2>We were friends after that, we didn't that. Oh that is.

0:58:18.720 --> 0:58:20.560
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I thought was wild about

0:58:20.640 --> 0:58:25.240
<v Speaker 2>being arrested in Canada is that the Canadian police are

0:58:25.360 --> 0:58:29.480
<v Speaker 2>very polite to you, as opposed to like Boston, Chicago

0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and any of these cities I lived in, where they're

0:58:31.680 --> 0:58:34.440
<v Speaker 2>just like, uh, ready to just beat you down because

0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 2>they're tired and they can. In Canada, they were just like, oh,

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:39.440
<v Speaker 2>as long as you guys are still I remember as

0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:41.160
<v Speaker 2>we were leaving, the chief of police was just like,

0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:43.400
<v Speaker 2>as long as you guys are still friends, I'd say

0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:45.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a win win, and Sam and I are like,

0:58:45.440 --> 0:58:50.040
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, Canada, give it a break, jeez, give

0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:51.600
<v Speaker 2>me a break.

0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:53.640
<v Speaker 1>If you could bend. Sorry about yeah, sorry, I didn't

0:58:53.640 --> 0:58:57.160
<v Speaker 1>mean to. I'm gonna gently place my two index fingers

0:58:57.160 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 1>inside your I.

0:58:57.840 --> 0:58:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Didn't mean to probe your prostate there, but you know

0:58:59.840 --> 0:59:04.360
<v Speaker 2>it's my job. Sorry about that, Just a f y.

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:08.360

<v Speaker 2>the guys want some potin and Pepper's on my way

0:59:20.040 --> 0:59:21.400
<v Speaker 2>out of getting arrested in Canada.

0:59:22.520 --> 0:59:28.800
<v Speaker 1>The guy who does the cavity starts with him offering afterwards, Oh.

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:32.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a good joke, right, Yeah, it's so good, savvy,
