Speaker 2: You just we're gonna do pre talking about him.

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: But yes, he's got a name.

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: I want to ask a linguist where his name ranks

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: as far as beauty A lot of you know, you

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: always hear that elbow.

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the most beautiful word.

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Have you heard that elbow? Cellar door is the what

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: do you call it? Haunted Rabbit movie?

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Cellar door?

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: That one?

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: I get more elbow. It's like anyone can say elbow.

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're on novacane. You can like limp

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: lip that one.

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: Elbow might be the ugliest and most horrible. I agree.

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: I like strong consonants. I've always liked the word like corrugated.

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: It's one of my favorite ones. That's great, it's a

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: it's about that wavy piece of paper in cardboard.

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: Sure, there's also I like the word pithy. It does

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: a bunch of stuff and make sound smart, but it's short.

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a linguist isn't factoring in whether or not

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: these words make you sound smart.

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Any dumb dumb can say elbow.

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: But our guest name today has When we say it,

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: do notice that it is a beautiful name, and I

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: specifically like the way it comes off my tongue. I

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: have not said the name, No, not yet. That's but

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: when I do, take note.

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: That was not a false intro, as they might believe.

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 5: We are still doing something. I would like to say

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 5: this along with that very melodic and beautiful name. I

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: enjoy this person's comedy so much, and I've missed it

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 5: over the quarantine and over the years because I haven't

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: seen him since I believe, like some Washington DC festival

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: that now feels like it was in two thousand and one,

65
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: but I don't think it was that long ago.

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: But he was truly one of.

67
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: My favorite people to end up at a show at

68
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: and go, oh, yeah, he's here too, because then I'm

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: going to see something I really like.

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's why I haven't seen him since the

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: now closed satellite. Oh rip pour one out in peace

72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: that building shell rest.

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: Please please don't don't wander the Earth satellite as a

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 5: ghost filled with sins, because you don't deserve it.

75
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: A lot of these businesses got shut down over quarantine,

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: and they're just wandering around in purgatory.

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: Ghost businesses all over Silver Lake, ruining people's days.

78
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: And the sad thing is they think they're still in business.

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: They're just confused.

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 5: They're like, can I see your ID? You're like, you're

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: not a business anymore. I don't have to show you shit.

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: They try to stamp your inner right wrist, No get

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 5: away satellite.

84
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: Where are all my employees? Oh?

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: This is kind of sad to think about. Why do

86
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: I get sad about inanimate objects having feelings?

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 5: Because the satellite was a place where lots of great

88
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 5: comedy happened. So I bet you you're housing a bunch

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 5: of dead memories in that dead business.

90
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: You want to know.

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: My favorite thing about the Satellite, Karen, was in the

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: back room there was a bar, and in that bar

93
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: there was bartenders and they were under there.

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: There was like a horseshoe shaped bar.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 3: Above them were satellite dishes yep, which served as these

96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: odd like acoustically depending on where you would stand.

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: Like my friend was like, do you want to see

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: something cool?

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: And they were at the other end of the bar,

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: standing under one of these satellite dishes, and they whispered

101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: some things and I could totally hear it. Yes, So

102
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: you'd never want to talk poorly about any of those

103
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: bartenders because it was going right to their ear holes.

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: All the employees went down with that business.

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: We've got to introduce them. Now it's taken to yours.

106
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: We do.

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: But do notice how beautiful this name is when we

108
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: say it.

00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

163
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you?

164
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: How? How were you made fun of as a kid,

165
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: Chris Fairbanks?

166
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: I think it was always Chris pissed, you know, urine

167
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: piss was always mentioned, but then it became hacky, luckily

168
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: because of garbage pail kids, and now it could think

169
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: of a second one.

170
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: It was pissed or nothing.

171
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 4: Last name Fairbanks seems like it would get a lot.

172
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: I don't take a stab at it.

173
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: I don't recall any fair Banks, not in America.

174
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: Oh right, I still get those what about yes people?

175
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: Isn't that amazing that people will think?

176
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: Oh?

177
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: I bet he's never heard this, the two words in

178
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: his last name being addressed.

179
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: Your own name? What about you? Ian?

180
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 4: Oh? I got a lot of eon I in. Some

181
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 4: kids would call me N, just the letter N.

182
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: There was the kid at my Big Sky Bible camp

183
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: that was acting real tough. He said he accepted the

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: Lord into his heart in the back of the police car.

185
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: I find that hard to believe. Oh, we were all ten, eleven, twelve.

186
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: He seemed like he was like sixteen though oka but

187
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: his name was Ian and I was just trying to

188
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: make small talk and I said where are you from?

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: And he said North Dakota? And I said are you

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: in North Dakota? In which I thought was a cute

191
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: little joke, And he punched me in the stomach. I

192
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: was relaxed too. That's how hou DEMI does.

193
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: That is how died.

194
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

195
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, this kid punched me in the stomach. He was

196
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 3: not a fan of that joke, and I did not

197
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: make a friend.

198
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 5: Now, was that going forward your story of when you

199
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: accepted Jesus Christ into your heart? Because that would have

200
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 5: been a great moment to do.

201
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: I was paranoid about it because at that Bible camp

202
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: they said, if you've already done this and you do

203
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: it again, if you if you asked the Lord into

204
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: your heart again, which I still didn't understand physically.

205
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: What I was doing.

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, then it's a sin. So it's like, maybe I've

207
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: already done it. Uh, maybe I should play it safe

208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 3: and not throw the log in the fire.

209
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: So I didn't do it. I don't.

210
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 4: I never Oh what I don't understand the logic of

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: that God's going to be upset? I am already in there.

212
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 4: What do you mean you're inviting me in?

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: If the sin is if you didn't mean it the

215
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: first time? Who you already have a one way ticket

216
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: to Hades?

217
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: WHOA.

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 5: So these clearly are a counselor and leaders at a

219
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: Bible camp who themselves are red flag human beings. Yes,

220
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 5: where they're like fuck fucking with children's minds about quote

221
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: unquote the Lord.

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's.

223
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: It's a bad one. It was a bad one. Uh

224
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: it was.

225
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: There was some strange adults there and they made us

226
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: think we were going to hell if we made a mistakes.

227
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: There was a lot of talk about hell. Let more

228
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 3: talk about hell than heaven. Fordic, Yeah, kill us.

229
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: There's probably more people in hell than heaven though, to

230
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: be fair.

231
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: Right, first of all, all the people that jokingly say, oh,

232
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: I'll end up in Hell anyway they're going.

233
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: Then there's the people where it's a surprise.

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: But in the same way, there are people that want

235
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: to live in the city, like in New York, which

236
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 4: is like Hell. And then there's people who want to

237
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: live in the middle of nowhere and have some more freedom,

238
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: and that's Heaven. Yeah.

239
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a small town with a cornfield, except

240
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: its clouds. Right, yeah, yeah, I would.

241
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: There's more of a nightlife. Everybody interesting is in Hell.

242
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: Yes, the density, and there's all those dance clubs and stuff.

243
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot to do and see in Hell.

244
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And in Heaven they're going to bed at eight pm.

245
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: Right, whatever that is.

246
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably comfortable. I will say that it's corn.

247
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: Where is a cloud? We don't know? You never know?

248
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: And what have you been doing lately? What about that

249
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: for an interview question?

250
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: Great?

251
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: I love it.

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: The summary of my quarantine is because I assume that's

253
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 4: kind of what you're really really getting out. What has

254
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 4: the last year and a half been is? You can

255
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: ask that to anybody and there's not a boring question.

256
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: In ten years, we will all be tired of that question.

257
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 4: But for now, nobody's made a sort of like nostalgic

258
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: look back on quarantine. But once we start getting the

259
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 4: mad Men version of quarantine will be like, okay, I

260
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 4: get it in a yeah, right, but for now, I

261
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: can tell you that I realized my brain was changing

262
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: when I put on Silence of the Lambs at one

263
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 4: am as a comfort. I don't know, I don't know

264
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: what was going on. I was, but that's when I

265
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 4: realized this is not normal. That's when I realized, like, oh,

266
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: something's something shifted in my brain that I want to

267
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: revisit the cinematic classic right now?

268
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, middle of the night.

269
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it didn't matter.

270
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: Time kind of was just a has become and still

271
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: seems to be a malleable concept that you can manipulate yourself.

272
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: It's no longer a rigid rule system. If you want

273
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 3: to watch a classic at one a m.

274
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Or three a m.

275
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: A movie you've seen a million times, just to watch

276
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: it in a different light, Yep, you can do that.

277
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: It was it's kind of laborating.

278
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: I have a new favorite movie of all time that

279
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: I had seen a couple times before Quarantine, and now

280
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 4: I've probably watched over one hundred times. That movie is

281
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: Ocean's Twelve, not Ocean's eleven, not thirteen or eight. Ocean's

282
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: twelve is my favorite movie of all time.

283
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Now, can you name a specific plot point that it

284
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: made the difference for it.

285
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: Oh, I absolutely can. Julia Roberts plays tests George Clooney's

286
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: wife as well as Julia Roberts, an incredible move. There's

287
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: a scene in that when Julia Roberts is pretending Julia

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: Roberts is playing Tess, who is pretending to be Julia

289
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 4: Roberts to sneak into a museum.

290
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I rewatched that. I wondered which one

291
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: I watched recently? That was the last ye.

292
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: There's an amazing scene where Bruce Willis happens to also

293
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: be at this museum, and so then Julia Roberts is

294
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: pretending to be starstruck because she's meeting Bruce Willis, Who's like, wait,

295
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: is this Julia Roberts And it's so fun and.

296
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: At that point does no one know who anyone is?

297
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: Like?

298
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: At that point, is the audience and the cast equally confused?

299
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: I will say it is a convoluted movie. I will

300
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: say it is confusing. But I think a great sequel

301
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: is like a first movie needs to be really tight

302
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 4: and perfect, and the second movie can be a little messier,

303
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: but it just gives you more of what you want.

304
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: And that's that's my theory on sequels and Oceans twelve?

305
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: Does it great?

306
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Wow?

307
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: Thank you Steven Soder.

308
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: So I've been watching a lot of Ocean's twelve. I

309
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: got really into making. I got into making things out

310
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 4: of cardboard.

311
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: Like miniature, like that neighborhood.

312
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 6: Yes, my in my.

313
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 4: Office, which is a walk in closet, I uh, which

314
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: was another quarantine project. It was a storage closet. Then

315
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 4: I was like, what if I made this an office

316
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: and any of my friends. I've zoomed with friends and

317
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: then when they've since come over and seen it, they've

318
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: been like, this is much smaller than I realize, and

319
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: they're a little worried about.

320
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Me that you're hanging out in a time.

321
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm not worried at all.

322
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm not worried, thank goodness, Thank goodness. But you haven't

323
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: said I made I made Mount Rushmore puppets out of cardboard.

324
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: It's just been it's just been a weird time, you know.

325
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: Yes.

326
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: I got into miniatures too, and I bought these kits, yeah,

327
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: like the dollhouse kits. I love them, and I wonder

328
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: if you love them, especially what you made. I always

329
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: think of two things when I see these neighborhood miniatures.

330
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: I think of the beginning of the Mister Rogers neighborhood

331
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: like that, the little cars, the little it's the camera

332
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: zooming down, but the opening, the long version of the

333
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: HBO thing where you in the end it flies up

334
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: and a chrome HBO logo is is like the Lord

335
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: looking over this town. Being so religious today by the way,

336
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: but those miniatures and the detail as it flies over,

337
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: there isn't even enough time to see little cars with

338
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: the headlights and there it's little houses and lights turning

339
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: off it. I have been obsessed with miniatures since I

340
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: was a kid, but there's this negative stigma for boys

341
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: to play with dollhouses.

342
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: And I'm here to change that.

343
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: Yes, it's changing.

344
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: Love It twenty twenty twenty one is the This is

345
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: the positive out of the negative, which is everybody gets

346
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: to do what they want and do what it takes

347
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: to comfort them.

348
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: If that's Hannibal Lecter at three.

349
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: Am, exact, so be it exactly. Thanks.

350
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: Discover yourself in that way, right.

351
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

352
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: A lot of these Lecter types wouldn't act out with

353
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: violence if they were just supported with their hobbies and.

354
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: Crafts and not judged so much about their cannibalism, it's ridiculous.

355
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 4: I was.

356
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 5: Actually I was doing a lot of waking up in

357
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: the middle of the night, and at first I would

358
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 5: feel worried or like, oh no, it's three am, I'm awake,

359
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: and then I'd be like, fine, I'll just go watch

360
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 5: more TV. And I had this kind of like home

361
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: when you're home alone and you get to do whatever

362
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 5: you want, but you're like twelve, so you rarely all

363
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 5: the rest of your life is so governed and you're

364
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 5: so constantly bossed, especially because I was the youngest, so

365
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: I was like if it was my parents, who was

366
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 5: my sister? And suddenly I had this like I'm gonna

367
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 5: fucking eat M and MS and watch TV at three am.

368
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: Like it was just like anything I wanted I got

369
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 5: to do. And there was a true joy in that

370
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: feeling of like, yeah, I'm of course I'm scared. Everything

371
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: bad is happening outside my door, but in here it's

372
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 5: fucking TV. Eminem's time Cooly.

373
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: I've never related to anything more. I haven't. I have

374
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 4: tried to say that to others to explain my relationship

375
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: with insomnia over the last year and a half, and

376
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 4: you explained it so much better than I've been able to.

377
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: It's like a birthday party then, only you're invited to.

378
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right.

379
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can put on you can put on whatever

380
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: you want and it feels good.

381
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, put on some football pants and cowboy boots

382
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: and a Viking hat and dance and eat candy. There's

383
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: no one around because you're alone. You're tragically alone and

384
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: having fun with it exactly.

385
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: Now. What I want you to picture is I want

386
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: you to picture being in that exact mode and you

387
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 4: haven't been able to see any of your friends for

388
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: a long time, and then suddenly you're in the room

389
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: with twelve of them. Welcome to Ocean's Twelve. My best friends,

390
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 4: My best friends, over and over again. The stealing art,

391
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Excellent?

392
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's enough to just play Checkers with Brad Kid,

393
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: but when you're high.

394
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a movie about a bunch of friends working together.

395
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: Like it. Yeah, that's all I mean.

396
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 3: Yes, it's hard to it's hard. Even they're like, oh,

397
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: I wonder when they're done rolling. If Andy Garcia and

398
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: George Clooney ever share stories about making love to many

399
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: many women or whatever.

400
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's something they have in common.

401
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 4: I want to hear him talk about miniatures. You know

402
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: they must have opinions.

403
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, what have you discovered?

404
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 5: We know, Andy Garcia that you can fuck anyone you want,

405
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 5: But what about arts and crests? Give us some glitters?

406
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: You know, what do you do with glitter when you're

407
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: by yourself at three am?

408
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: That's what I want to I usually put it on

409
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: a woman's body. He has a yeah.

410
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: No, he has an accent, yes, an accent that I yeah,

411
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: it's it's subtle. And he's a beguiling man. I've been

412
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: in the same room as him. I'm not just talking

413
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 3: about watching one of the Ocean's films.

414
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 4: I cannot I'm seeing with jealousy right now.

415
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, I've never heard an Andy Garcia.

416
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 3: I interviewed him for a press junket for a movie

417
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: called Smoking Aces.

418
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 4: Can you do me a favor? And can you compare

419
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: Smoking Aces to Ocean's twelve justet is.

420
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Not as good.

421
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: It is a group of and you know, they probably

422
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: had a fun time together when the cameras weren't rolling,

423
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: But when the cameras started rolling, the magic stopped.

424
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is not what I told Andy Garcia.

425
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: But I did say my stepmom, who has since divorced

426
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: my dad amicably, she was so in love with you,

427
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: mister Garcia.

428
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 4: She was.

429
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a long setup to ten minutes describing

430
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: the relationship, and I'd say, she'd talk about you all

431
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: the time.

432
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: She brings we wouldn't even be talking about movies.

433
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 4: And then she just he was the reason that your

434
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: dad got divorced.

435
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 3: He was laughing so hot hard just at the bizarreness

436
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: of bringing that up. He was like so sweet and

437
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: he's like, oh my god, I feel responsible.

438
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: Could they get back together? Or he was so great.

439
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: He played along with my weird idea and it made

440
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: me love.

441
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: And then you said it at the very end of

442
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 5: that interview, you said, do you see that what just

443
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: happened to you?

444
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: And I that's the energy you should have brought to

445
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 2: smoking aces.

446
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: See it was natural and it had a decent No,

447
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: that's not your fault. There was a plot.

448
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: There's a beginning of middle and an nn.

449
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: So ian you've recently been married and you want a contest,

450
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 5: Well you ex I have, yes.

451
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 4: Wow, talk about it. I feel like I'm on comics

452
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 4: at least right now. That was an incredible set up.

453
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: I hear you like fish tanks.

454
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: Wow, oh my goodness, talk about an amazing setup. You know,

455
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: I did get married. I did win a contest.

456
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: You're still married now, right?

457
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I mean I got yes, I am. Yeah,

458
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: I'm not like your dad.

459
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: The you hear that, Jim.

460
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: That was an amicable joke. Okay.

461
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: So the.

462
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: I got engaged as quarantine seemed like it was starting

463
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: to wrap up, which I guess was every single day

464
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 4: of quarantine and still is. See it always seems like

465
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 4: it's wrapping up. But it was the time when you

466
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 4: could start kind of safely going out with a mask.

467
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: You know, it is kind of how it felt. And

468
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: my wife and I got engaged, and a month or

469
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: two went by and we were planning a wedding for March,

470
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: and then we get a very odd DM on Instagram saying, hey,

471
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 4: your friend entered you into a contest. Do you want

472
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: a free.

473
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Wedding, which I would think was spammed, and we did.

474
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, of course you assume that's spam. That sounds

475
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 4: very spammy. But also you know what they say and

476
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: show business, you take the meeting. So so my move

477
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 4: was like, can we talk on the phone about this

478
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 4: so that I at least could know if this was

479
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 4: a real person. That was like the easiest way to

480
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: cut through a lot of the BS to me. And

481
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: we hopped on the phone and it seemed very real.

482
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: The venue Lodge Room, Highland Park Venue, Gorgeous, Gorgeous Venue

483
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: said they were kind of coming out of quarantine and

484
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: they wanted to do like a big, fun promotional event

485
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 4: and they often work with wedding vendors, so they will

486
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: They would basically just like it would be kind of

487
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 4: a big commercial for all of the vendors, the band,

488
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: the people to make the cake, everything, They would handle

489
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: it all and we and anybody would be welcomed. They

490
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: sold tickets to our wedding and wait what yes, this

491
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 4: is yes, this is what happened. They they sold tickets

492
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 4: to our wedding. We had like an unlimited guest list.

493
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 4: We can invite as many people as we could, but

494
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 4: we had one week to do it. Oh shit, yes,

495
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: so suddenly it was like a scramble and.

496
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 3: Uh wait, when were you did you had you already

497
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: picked a real a wedding day.

00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're still going to do it in March.

501
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: at the lodge room over the summer.

502
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 5: Where does your family basically generally hail from? And where

503
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: does your now wife's family hail from?

504
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: How hard was this? How Ocean's twelve was this to organize?

505
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: It was exactly Ocean's twelve and that it was a

506
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: complete mess and the best thing that's ever happened. The

507
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: I grew up in the Inland Empire out by San

508
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 4: Bernardino Riverside area.

509
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: If that means anything Moreno valley. How do you know that?

510
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: I I've been here a while since twenty seventeen.

511
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 4: No, but did you know that I'm from Reno.

512
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: He's from Reno Valley.

513
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: That's where I really grew up. Nobody knows Marino Valley.

514
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: That's why I thought you said that. Just then I

515
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: thought you were like getting more specific.

516
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: It's funny because I know that it's because I went

517
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: to skate parks when I first moved here, and I

518
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: would I would print out the map quest and a

519
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: lot of the skate parks were all the way out there.

520
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: So that's why I was in that area.

521
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 5: To go.

522
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: Now, there's plenty in town. But yes, that I am not.

523
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I am not gifted. I did not real that's wild.

524
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of. It's like a an odd barren

525
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 4: wasteland between San Diego and l a kind of If

526
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: you've ever driven from La to Vegas, you've driven through

527
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: the area called the Inland Empire, which right, Marino Valley

528
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: is a smaller town in and Riverside and San Bernardino

529
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: are just like more They're bigger and more well known.

530
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I've spent I've spent time in all those places,

531
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 3: and I know they're distinctive.

532
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 5: Fritz's there's real, real good, real good math in Riverside. Yes,

533
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 5: I had a crush on a drummer that was from

534
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 5: Riversign was his name, Travis Barker.

535
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: He's a drummer, isn't that theer?

536
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: Is he a drummer?

537
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know.

538
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: He's my favorite drummer with a checkered flag on his name. Yeah,

539
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: go on a boat and be naked.

540
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 4: So my, but my mom now lives in rural Washington,

541
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 4: so like right south of Canada, like an hour away

542
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 4: from from Canada. And I guess can you get if

543
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: you can guess I will do.

544
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: Is it not Vancouver, Canada, but Vancouver, Washington.

545
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, but that Vancouver Washington's down by the Oregon border.

546
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: Sorry damn it.

547
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: But but a good a good guess in the same state.

548
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: Certainly, sure, definitely for sure.

549
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: So it was too short notice, and this is a yeah,

550
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: the world's opening up again. Flight prices were like insane suddenly,

551
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 4: they went from dirt cheap to insane, and to try

552
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: to get that in a week just was not feasible.

553
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: Right, my wife, that's the main reason you have to

554
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: do another wedding, right, yes, yeah.

555
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: I mean, because yeah, we want to celebrate with our

556
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: families and all that and people, you know, right, yeah,

557
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 4: If a wedding is supposed to be one of the

558
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 4: best days of your life, why limit yourself to one.

559
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: Your dad knows what I'm talking about, you know.

560
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's like, you know, I did Halloween

561
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: three nights in a row. I think that's a perfect comparison.

562
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: Right, perfect. So my wife's family mostly live in Buffalo

563
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: at Buffalo, New York, and her mom was able to come,

564
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: and her siblings mostly were LA based, so they were

565
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: able to come. But I mean most most of the

566
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: wedding party wasn't able to be there, you know, like

567
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: they'll be there in March, but a week's notice is insane.

568
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: It's great and so yeah, we're a lot of the

569
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: people there. They otherwise would have been at a dance club.

570
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: It was like a night out. Or were they kind

571
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: of in on the joke, like they're like, we're going

572
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: to a strange wedding.

573
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: It was. It was absolutely both.

574
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: It was see that sounds like fun. It was.

575
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: There were hundreds of people having their first major party

576
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: out of quarantine, and we got married on stage. There

577
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 4: was a ten piece band that we never would have

578
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: been able to afford. The cake was like a portrait,

579
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 4: a cartoon portrait of us. They took this this what yeah,

580
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: and it was all like it was vegan raw cake.

581
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: That was one of the best things I've ever tasted.

582
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: No lie, it was like it was unreal and we

583
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 4: were just like our faces were these cartoon versions of

584
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: us on the cake and we showed up and it

585
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: was just there. When you have a week, you don't

586
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: have time to like nitpick, I want the cake like this,

587
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: I want the.

588
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: Decorations like that.

589
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: Did you have any input?

590
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they were so communicative, but with a week

591
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 4: you have to just kind of like prioritize. As a groom,

592
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: it's much easier too. You know, my wife was like,

593
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: what do I do for a wedding dress? I thought

594
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: I had months? And so she decided to lean into

595
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 4: it and she made her own wedding dress. First started

596
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: full of clothing she's ever made, and she she sewed

597
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 4: it completely. And I felt like I was in the

598
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: hit movie Ocean's Twelve when I came in and.

599
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: I came in.

600
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: And like it was it was like a biopic moment

601
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: or something where she was just like, wait, I got it.

602
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: I can turn the bra and the shoulder pads and

603
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: it was amazing. It looked incredible that I love them.

604
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this.

605
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 5: This is almost like it's the perfect thing to go

606
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 5: along with the craziness that we all felt in quarantine

607
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 5: in you know, January sixth, all the realities that were

608
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 5: like kind of denting all of our previous like this

609
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 5: is the way things are supposed to be, which got

610
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 5: that all got kind of swept away and in quarantine

611
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: and in the pandemic, and then basically you guys came.

612
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: Out on a wave of like.

613
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 5: Wedding cake and it's so good.

614
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Other than the band, like what was the best part?

615
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: The officiant was incredible. We had not I met the

616
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 4: officiant that day. Shout out to Jason. He killed it.

617
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

618
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: He had asked us for some personal stories that he uh,

619
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 4: you know, I do comedy. I know what good public

620
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: speaking looks like. He was ten out of ten excellent, wow, funny, heartfelt.

621
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: It was it was you. You lower your expectations a

622
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 4: bit when you're having a wedding in the week, and

623
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: he exceeded in them by so far. It was amazing.

624
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: Do you think people there that didn't know him didn't

625
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: know you guys? Do you think they cried?

626
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? They did. Absolutely. It felt like a like a

627
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: like a rock concert. There was literally a band, there

628
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 4: were fog machines and lights. It's an amazing music venue

629
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 4: that was fully orchestrated for us. They made they named

630
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 4: drinks after us. My wife plays the harp and so

631
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: she had like the punk harpist or something like that.

632
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: I had the studs circle and it was just like,

633
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: this is amazing. It feels like a dream. Even saying

634
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: this out loud to you, Honestly, that's.

635
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: It's so cool.

636
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: And when you have your boring wedding.

637
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: That's that that's so funny. You say that because the

638
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 4: people that say we were not the first people that

639
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: they asked. By the way, part of the reason that

640
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 4: we had a week is because so many other people

641
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 4: were like, a wedding special, We don't want to be

642
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: rushed into it, like just because it's free. And we

643
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: were like, hell, yeah, all this is amazing. Yes, and

644
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 4: so we you know, we we're planning uh March March

645
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: fifth wedding. It's going to be big and weird and

646
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 4: Death Valley and we're excited about it.

647
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

648
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: So you're doing it out in the desert. That's still cool. Yes,

649
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 3: but it's the opposite of what you just did.

650
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: You think you could loop could you loop Jason back

651
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 5: in at least to associate.

652
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: Yes, Chris Gethard is going to be officiating wedding. Oh

653
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: wonderful man, great comedian and just that perfect He's that

654
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: perfect mix of absurdity and sweet that we want for

655
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 4: something like that.

656
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's someone you actually know, Yes, yeah.

657
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: Yes, you're right right, yes, as opposed to Jason who

658
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: happened to knock it out of the but could have

659
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: totally beefed it.

660
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: Yes, And did you know when they said you want

661
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: a contest, did they tell you who submitted you or

662
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: signed you up for it?

663
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: And you knew who that was? And because that would

664
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: bring me some comfort.

665
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So our friend Suzanne a month or two before that,

666
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 4: had a log room just posted like, hey, we want

667
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: to give away a wedding. Do you guys know anybody

668
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 4: that's engaged? And all Suzanne wrote was something like she

669
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 4: tagged Resa my wife and was like, hey, this sounds interesting,

670
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 4: don't you think?

671
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: And that was it.

672
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one think about it again. Reesa didn't think

673
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 4: about it again. The next time it was thought about

674
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: was when we were on the phone with the lodge rooms.

675
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 5: I think there's really something to be said though, as

676
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 5: a person who has gone through a wedding and the

677
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 5: planning of it and the stress of it and all

678
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: the things that get built up around it, I can

679
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 5: tell and you'll have this experience so you'll be able

680
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: to compare yourself. But to me, this almost like hands

681
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 5: off the wheel, like well there's nothing we can do.

682
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 5: Is actually the solution to so much bullshit, Like the

683
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 5: reason they're like full on Bridezilla TV shows. Because when

684
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 5: that series started, I was like, this is unfair because

685
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 5: it is not showing the background of why this woman

686
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 5: has gone insane her I bet you her fiance is

687
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 5: not fucking helping and doesn't actually give a shit, and

688
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 5: she all her friends from high school like this is

689
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 5: a get back and this is a I'm you know,

690
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 5: it's finally my day.

691
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: Whatever. There's a lot of like societal pressure.

692
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 5: There's all kinds of ways this can go wrong, hundreds

693
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 5: of ways, and you guys just basically you blocked it out.

694
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and you didn't. You weren't screaming at each

695
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: other about napkins.

696
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're.

697
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 2: Just laughing your asses off and like so good.

698
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: Oh that's I want to be. I want to have

699
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: an Oh that's so great.

700
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: I love it.

701
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 5: Who was the person from Instagram or the lawge room

702
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 5: or whoever that planned this, Like, do you know whose

703
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 5: idea it was?

704
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: Ultimately the owner?

705
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 4: This guy at Dalton is like the kind of booker owner.

706
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: I think he and his family run the venue and

707
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 4: after I mean the way the process went, because even

708
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: on a phone call, this feels so crazy that you

709
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 4: still have to like, is this real? So the next

710
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: day we go to the venue and meet him face

711
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: to face and he's like, no, really, we're gonna do this.

712
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 4: We'll take care of it all. And we're like all right,

713
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: And at that point there is not enough time to

714
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: question it. You just had like at that point, you're

715
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: just going along with it.

716
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, everybody go to the lawge room if you're

717
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: in la around it.

718
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 5: Support people with good ideas that bring people together in fun.

719
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 5: Because if I had just been going to a bar

720
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 5: with my friends that night and we happened into a

721
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 5: basically an impromptu wedding, I think I would have been

722
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 5: crying the whole time, especially it was right after Quarantine ended.

723
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally that.

724
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone loves a wedding that isn't there. Yes, so

725
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: all those people were so excited and then you kind

726
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: of had the element of being at a wedding.

727
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: That isn't here. Except he totally, Oh, I forgot this

728
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: is my wedding. He just mentioned me.

729
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: Yes, this is such a good show, this is this

730
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 3: is better dinner theater than David and Lusa.

731
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: Wait, so you must have danced like that band played

732
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 5: and everyone danced, So I.

733
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: I have these friends, Yoshi and Jesus who came and

734
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: they they're they're they're very into music, and they were

735
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: they've never been a fan of The Killers, and the

736
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 4: way they described the wedding was like, all of a sudden,

737
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 4: I was singing along to Mister Brightside with everybody else.

738
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, it was.

739
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 4: It was unreal. It was because also, these are like

740
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 4: the best wedding band in LA, and people it entertainment.

741
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: People rush to LA, so it's like, these are incredible

742
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: musicians on every level. And again we it would have

743
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 4: been so far out of our price range to get

744
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 4: a fraction of that. They were just playing all the hits.

745
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: I walked in on the rehearsal and they were like, okay,

746
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 4: now let's do the nineties pop medley. And I was like, Okay,

747
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 4: this is what the night's gonna be. This is they

748
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 4: They can go decade by decade and just play the hits.

749
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: They know it all.

750
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I love it. That sounds so fun, like

751
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: my heart is racing. I don't know I have to do.

752
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: You could just describe a now and I get all

753
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: nostaltic and just imagining it.

754
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 4: One of the hardest parts about a wedding is the

755
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 4: guest list too, because you you want as many people

756
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 4: to come, but you're you have to pay for every

757
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 4: single person, and so there comes a point where you're like,

758
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: oh man, I don't know how to It gets hard

759
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 4: to figure out who to invite. And this was a

760
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 4: free for all. Everybody come out. I could literally post

761
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: on Twitter if you want to come to my wedding,

762
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 4: use this code. You know that that was all they

763
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 4: had to do. So what that meant was people from

764
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 4: all corners of my life, do you know what I mean?

765
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: Like from from people that I knew as a toddler

766
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: in high school, in college, I worked in summer camps.

767
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 4: I went to Chicago to start being a comedian, Like truly,

768
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 4: every walk of life. That must be what it's like

769
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: to die. You look out and you're just you're just

770
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 4: you're just like there's fog, machines, there's lights, and you're

771
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 4: seeing a little bit of everybody, and it's like, well,

772
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: have fun, goodbye.

773
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: You mean hell not Heaven?

774
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: Right, I don't know the difference.

775
00:39:53,560 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is non secular, secular, don't know the different.

776
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: This is a I love this story. It's so good.

777
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: Who was the weirdest person that showed up that like,

778
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 2: you got a couple of those.

779
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: It's yeah, I mean it's impossible to Uh my my

780
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 4: wonderful ex girlfriend from from college showed up and it

781
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: was like and she had messaged beforehand very sweetly and

782
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 4: was like, hey, is this cool?

783
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, absolutely, this is.

784
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: It was wonderful, and I mean that that felt amazing.

785
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 4: You know, my my freshman year roommate was there, like

786
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: it was. It was just wild. And because you know, I.

787
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: Just say at my wedding, I want there to be

830
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 4: also those were very long days for him, so he

831
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,200

Speaker 5: Well, and also as a he's like an icon, So

838
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 5: I think those people other people don't understand how much

839
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 5: they have to deal with as a person where it's like,

840
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 5: no one's going to let Gary Busey pass them by

841
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 5: without going no way and doing a thing, and after

842
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 5: ten of those your Gary Busey's don't want to do

843
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 5: it anymore, very very understandably, and they have to do.

844
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: So.

845
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't he win an Oscar for the Buddy Holly movie?

846
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: He did? Or he was nominated?

00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,439

Speaker 2: Check please?

850
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: I think that that's because we all know him now

851
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: as being like this kind of crazy character.

852
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:55,799

00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 3: makes out with his glasses.

861
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: It was I'm just the lens. It was innovative, innovative

862
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: at the time.

863
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, actually, you know what Ian I wanted to

864
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 5: tell you is the first time and Chris, I think

865
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 5: you and I did this show together. But the first

866
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 5: time I did a Zoom comedy show, I could not

867
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 5: stop thinking about your old show. Now I can't remember

868
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: what the name of it was, seven Minutes in Purgatory.

869
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 5: So Ian used to have the show where it was

870
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 5: a comedy show, like the time I did it. It

871
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 5: was at the DC Improv And so there's a full,

872
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 5: like a sold out room of comedy audience that are there.

873
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 2: You are in a side room.

874
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 5: You cannot hear the audience and you don't know what

875
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 5: they're doing, and you have to do your set to

876
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 5: a camera.

877
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: And that's every Zoom show. Yeah.

878
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 5: Literally, you are a visionary and you thought of the

879
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 5: thing seven years before it.

880
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: Why did you do this to us?

881
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 5: But I mean, didn't you think of that, Chris, where

882
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 5: it's like you're just sitting there trying to make these jokes.

883
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 5: There is no Eventually they got it so that you

884
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 5: could hear laughter or people were trying to refine it.

885
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 5: But in those early days, I was like, this is

886
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 5: even Ian Aberson's bit. It's not fair that everyone else

887
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 5: is stealing it from in.

888
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's still payoff later where you get to

889
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 3: see that audience edited with you in a closet, like

890
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: you just never know if you ate it or not,

891
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 3: and you think about it for three days.

892
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: It's in the same room with a bed that you

893
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: just performed. Yeah.

894
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's on Comedy Central right, like someone could go

895
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 3: to Comedycentral dot com.

896
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 4: It was a digital series, yeah, yeah, all the episodes

897
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: are on YouTube and yeah, for sure seven minutes in purgatory.

898
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 3: Everyone will appreciate it more. It was very much ahead

899
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: of its time. Yes, it was literally by total accident.

900
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 5: I didn't realize how because when when we went to

901
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 5: do it, I mean, first of all, it was when

902
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 5: I was doing a music act. So I was so

903
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 5: grateful because I'm like, oh great, I don't know, I

904
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 5: just just standing there by myself, even doing it with

905
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 5: another person, and just like we're just singing songs.

906
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: It was like the shame and.

907
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 5: Self loathing I felt literally seven seconds in. I was

908
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 5: just like, I can't this is horrible, horrible.

909
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 4: And you know what you're getting into. It wasn't like

910
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: a It wasn't snuck up on you.

911
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't a surprise wedding right all, exactly at all.

912
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it never got normal for me, and

913
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: I did it every single time.

914
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 3: You know, you know what, I've made it even worse

915
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 3: for you. If you dig your dog shock collar. Ian

916
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: has this bit where he puts on and I've put

917
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 3: on one of those. It was from the eighties, but

918
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 3: there was two electrodes on it and you put it

919
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: on your neck and me and my friends just took

920
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: turns barking, and it hurt so bad that my friend

921
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: never let his parents use it on his dogs again.

922
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: It was like inhumanely painful. But Ian puts one on

923
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 3: until and give someone in the audience a remote, right,

924
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 3: and then just does a bunch of one liners and

925
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 3: it's like, if you don't like one of the jokes,

926
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 3: give me a shot. And the time we did it

927
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 3: at the Satellite, that person was a little trigger happy,

928
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: and I remember there's no way, either he's the most

929
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 3: amazing actor ever, or it's on a low setting, or

930
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 3: he's getting shocked and not. I just imagine being in

931
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: that seven minutes and brigatory on that show and also

932
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 3: getting shocked and you don't even know if you can't

933
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 3: even see the audio.

934
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: Made it worse.

935
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it turns out handing the remote to a drunk

936
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 4: audience member I often wouldn't go great. But I was

937
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 4: part of the fun, right if you're being like.

938
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: Hey, like you curly were you were getting shocked and

939
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 3: it did hurt, right, Oh yeah, yeah, the pain.

940
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 4: Would last for a second and like you like think

941
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 4: of like getting shocked a little bit where it's just

942
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 4: like one brief moment of like oh my god, and

943
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: then it fades pretty quick. But I've for like anytime

944
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 4: I would do it, for like the next two hours,

945
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: I was so on edge. My body was acting like

946
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 4: I've been electrified because I had been.

947
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: Well.

948
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 3: I know, with a lot of people, it's like a therapy.

949
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: Even to this day, I have friends that have taken

950
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 3: shock therapy.

951
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 1: They still do it. They're just better at it now.

952
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, but uh, I wonder if you had long

953
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 3: I wonder if you're a better person for it.

954
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 5: What I'm saying, well, you definitely, I think taught some people.

955
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: It's like, imagine if you were on a date and

956
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 5: your date was handed that remote and then you just

957
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 5: watched as they shocked the fuck out of someone, where

958
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 5: you're just like, anyway, it's great to meet you. Think

959
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 5: that was such a good shot. Oh yeah, let's talk

960
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 5: to you later, and then just fucking book it to

961
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 5: your car. Truly run away.

962
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 4: Oh man, it's wild.

963
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 2: Did you wait?

964
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 5: Did you you do the joke and then they shock you?

965
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 5: Or would they sometimes do it while you were speaking it?

966
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 4: It was totally yeah. So the idea I would say

967
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: is like, you know, I'm trying to train myself to

968
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 4: be a better comedian. I thought, how did I train

969
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 4: my dog? So I'm gonna wear his shot collar and

970
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 4: I'll give you the remote. If you don't like a joke,

971
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 4: shock me so that I learned not to do that joke,

972
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:36,959
Speaker 4: and they, without fail, they would do they It would

973
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 4: it would almost always go like this. I would tell

974
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 4: one joke and they wouldn't shock me, and the second

975
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 4: joke would almost always get a shock because by that

976
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 4: point they had to know if they could really shock me.

977
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 4: And then during the setup of the third joke, they

978
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 4: had to tell if I was faking it, and so

979
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 4: they so they would like like be like, wait, does

980
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 4: this really work? And then at that point it became

981
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 4: are they a good person or a bad person?

982
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: And it would go one right way.

983
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 3: And did you ever do that bit where someone just

984
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: non you couldn't even get through a joke because they

985
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 3: were just shocking you the whole time?

986
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I like, you realize I'm literally being electrocuted,

987
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 4: right and and like it was it wasn't on a

988
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 4: it wasn't on like the highest setting and it's designed

989
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,479
Speaker 4: for dogs, but it did legitimately hurt.

990
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, God, that's so.

991
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 5: And so then while you're being hurt and trying to

992
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 5: reason with this person, people are laughing harder and harder

993
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 5: at the entire situation.

994
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: It's such a good bit a stunt. It's it's like

995
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 3: a physical stunt. I love your comedy anyway, yeah, but me, Yeah,

996
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 3: but bits like that where it's this, it's there's an

997
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 3: intensity because you know something's gonna happen and you set

998
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: it up ahead of time, and then on top of that,

999
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 3: you're just doing stand up, and it's a great time

1000
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 3: to do all your throwaway one line or bits that

1001
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 3: you like that maybe usually get like a I have

1002
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 3: so many like exactly puns and everything that I've always

1003
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 3: loved and they get a grown it and I remember

1004
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 3: watching you do that, and I'm like, wow, what a

1005
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 3: perfect place to showcase all of your you know, your

1006
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 3: word children word children.

1007
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 5: It reminds me of like in coming up in San Francisco.

1008
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 5: Mostly there were and it was the early nineties, everyone

1009
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 5: was really trying to be quote unquote edgy, you know

1010
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 5: what I mean. So, and most of the time that

1011
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 5: meant like hain and fucking John Wayne Gacy or you

1012
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 5: whatever like you you tried to shows, but I did

1013
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 5: it all the time where it's like, yeah, you won't

1014
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 5: believe I said that, but you're really putting your money

1015
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 5: where your mouth is in that way where just like

1016
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be so edgy. There could have I could

1017
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 5: have a cardiac incident here. Let's do this thing.

1018
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you ever worry about that that it would

1019
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 3: all of a sudden affect your heart rate or something

1020
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 3: like have a heart attack because oh the setting stop

1021
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: doing it and then.

1022
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 2: You just show and then the laughter just build and build.

1023
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just laughing at your limp body.

1024
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 4: I mean it would affect me, like it really would

1025
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 4: affect me. I would feel a little more aggressive after

1026
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 4: for like two hours. I would have to be like,

1027
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 4: I need to chill out right now because it's like

1028
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 4: your body. Your body is like it was reacting like

1029
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 4: I was being attacked because it.

1030
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: Kind of was you were you were.

1031
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: Oh God, I love it. I love it such a

1032
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: great bit. I forgot about that very great.

1033
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 5: And what do you miss about the old comedy days,

1034
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 5: the old doing sets around town?

1035
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: That's a very specific and getting back at it at all.

1036
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely starting to. I've been the the the whole

1037
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: last quarantine obsession I'll talk about. This is how I've

1038
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 4: kind of filtered my creative energy. I got really obsessed

1039
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 4: with ex President Theodore Roosevelt, and I wrote ninety minutes

1040
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 4: of Theodore Roosevelt material, And now I'm getting to test

1041
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 4: that out around town. The one person on everybody's mind,

1042
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 4: the second most famous Roosevelt.

1043
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 5: Why did you write an hour and a half of

1044
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 5: Teddy Roosevelt material?

1045
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 4: The same reason Ocean twelve is my favorite movie, and

1046
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 4: I watched silence of the lambs at two am. There's

1047
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 4: there's just not answers, even though it kind of makes sense. Yeah,

1048
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 4: he I mean, he larger than life figure. He's he's

1049
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 4: literally on the Mount Rushmore of presidents, which is why

1050
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 4: I made the cardboard Mount Rushmore puppets. That's like that,

1051
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 4: that's part of.

1052
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 2: It that comes into it. So at seventy is when

1053
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 2: those puppets come out.

1054
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely carrying it down. It's not

1055
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 4: you know, the first version of it was basically a

1056
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 4: ninety minute Ted talk about a president that only I

1057
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 4: cared about. But then you know, trying to turn it

1058
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 4: into bits and everything. That's the fun of going back

1059
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 4: out is trying to turn something from a Ted talk

1060
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 4: into comedy. And I miss that. I miss just getting

1061
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 4: to like throw things against the wall and trying to

1062
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 4: be like, oh, yeah, this is working and not working,

1063
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 4: and how can I get the thing that's not working

1064
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 4: to work? And yeah, I always love that, and it

1065
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 4: was really hard to not have that during quarantine. What

1066
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 4: about you guys?

1067
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 3: I mean I enjoyed that We've talked about this a

1068
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 3: lot on the podcast. That's like we both pause, but

1069
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 3: I enjoyed the no pressure. The I didn't realize how

1070
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 3: it was always looming over me, Like how am I doing?

1071
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: In comedy?

1072
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 3: Am I doing everything I should or could be doing?

1073
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 3: How's everyone else doing? No matter how hard you try,

1074
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 3: are kind of obsessed with where you scan among your peers,

1075
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 3: and it is kind of a contest a little bit. Yeah,

1076
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 3: and for that all to be lifted, I mean, my

1077
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 3: gray hair went away. It's coming back. But yeah, I

1078
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: thoroughly enjoyed the time off. And I'm having trouble fully

1079
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 3: diving back in like I've been doing shows.

1080
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed not doing it. It was great.

1081
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,479
Speaker 3: I felt like a seventeen year old. I just wasn't

1082
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 3: worried about things totally.

1083
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 5: I basically stopped doing sets and then tried to start

1084
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 5: doing them again after way too long, you know, like

1085
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 5: I would say three years or something of not really

1086
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 5: doing it. The thing is, and this has happened to

1087
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 5: me before in the past, of when I stop entirely,

1088
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 5: I truly just do not believe I can do it anymore.

1089
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 5: Like the way the thing I do in my own

1090
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 5: brain is unbelievable, where it's like this is something I've

1091
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 5: been doing since I was twenty years old. It's crazy

1092
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 5: and it's like you didn't forget how But what it

1093
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 5: is is the time I wasn't putting in the time,

1094
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 5: and I wasn't focusing on other people. I think that

1095
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 5: competition element, although it can be bad, also it can

1096
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 5: be amazing because I go to shows and I think

1097
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 5: Chris and I have talked about this before, but one

1098
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 5: of my favorite things to do is go watch a

1099
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 5: bunch of other people do sets because my brain is

1100
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 5: I have such defiance disorder that while I watch people

1101
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,720
Speaker 5: that I love and I'm laughing at my brain starts

1102
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 5: writing material that is totally unrelated and it's so it's

1103
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 5: like my brain's going, You've got to fight for your place.

1104
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: And here's an idea, you know what I mean, where

1105
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: it's like, oh shit.

1106
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 5: So there's a kind of cultural immersion that I think

1107
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 5: I have to have, you know what I mean. But

1108
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 5: as like a now middle aged woman, I just don't

1109
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 5: want to have to do that, Like I want to

1110
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 5: see my friends and see the people I really love.

1111
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 5: But ultimately it's a young man and woman and person's game.

1112
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 5: So like it's like I don't go I just started

1113
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 5: getting that thing of like you kind of have to.

1114
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 5: I felt, it's like let it go. You can always

1115
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 5: like do a set if you want to. But like,

1116
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 5: but ultimately, the part that I really love about comedy

1117
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 5: is that beginning. How do you take a ted talk

1118
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 5: and turn it into an actual bit? How do you

1119
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 5: actually make people laugh? Because for a while I was

1120
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 5: just reading old tweets and then kind of standing there, going.

1121
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: This is a pyrrhic victory if there ever was one.

1122
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 2: This feels bad. This is not well written material.

1123
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 5: So you know, it's kind it's kind of that where

1124
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 5: I think it gave me in quarantine, just truly, I

1125
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 5: told myself my job was to not go insane, so

1126
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 5: I didn't have to worry about that or you know,

1127
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 5: it was just like just you know, get your work

1128
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 5: done and stay happy and other than that, don't put

1129
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 5: yourself through it because that whole push pull of comedy.

1130
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 2: Although it is my true and first love, it's like, yeah,

1131
00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: but also you.

1132
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 5: Can't you can't be doing you know, showcase nights for

1133
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 5: the rest of your life, Like you have to take

1134
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 5: your pension after a while. If you're not like a

1135
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 5: you know, if you're not like a headlining comic or whatever.

1136
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was.

1137
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 5: It was a relief in that way where it's like

1138
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 5: I can still be a fan, I can still know

1139
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 5: all the people that I know. I can be proud

1140
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 5: of the people that I watch go and do things

1141
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 5: and be innovative and truly that's why, like when I

1142
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 5: watch you do comedy, it's like this is it reminds

1143
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 5: me of my early days when people are like, I

1144
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 5: don't give a fuck, I'm gonna fucking try his bit

1145
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 5: and it was all very punk rock and it's you know,

1146
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 5: I just really love it and support it.

1147
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 4: That is so kind. If it's not clear, I will

1148
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 4: just say here and now that I am huge fans

1149
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 4: of you both, deeply admire you. You've been inspirations from

1150
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 4: day one, so thank you you both. You've said such

1151
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 4: kind things about me, and I felt bashful about saying

1152
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 4: that about you, but now I'm going to you have to.

1153
00:58:59,040 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 3: You have to.

1154
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 4: I what is a podcast except a chance to do that?

1155
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 5: Right?

1156
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: I circle jerks get a bad but that just felt great.

1157
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: Rights you need these days.

1158
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 5: Also, it's like that weird thing where like Chris and

1159
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 5: I see Chris consistently because we have this podcast luckily,

1160
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 5: and thank God, because you know, other comedians are some

1161
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 5: of my favorite human beings because of their brains and

1162
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 5: the way their brains work, and you don't meet those

1163
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 5: kinds of people every day, And I think that's another

1164
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 5: Another thing is like really appreciating It's like Ian Abramson, when.

1165
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: That name came through, I was like, oh my god, yeah,

1166
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: like I how else would I see you?

1167
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1168
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 6: Right?

1169
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 4: Fine? Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, there really is kind of

1170
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 4: a special community. And I feel like quarantine was freeing

1171
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 4: for so many people rather than making us all cynical.

1172
00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 4: Things got so bad for everybody, for literally every person,

1173
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 4: that it was kind of like, well, if that's the baseline,

1174
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good.

1175
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1176
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just trying to carry that over and remember it.

1177
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 3: I found myself like this past weekend I did shows

1178
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 3: that in Irvine, and I was like, don't go back

1179
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 3: to being upset of the audience doesn't remember what it

1180
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 3: was like to not have this. Enjoy it and I

1181
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 3: have been enjoying it, but I got to remember not

1182
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: to lose that. I've got to remember to stay appreciative.

1183
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 3: Are you saying, chriss I promised myself and that the.

1184
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Audience like doesn't remember how to be an audience kind of?

1185
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Is that what you mean?

1186
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 3: Oh? I just I sometimes if an audience isn't acting

1187
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 3: the way I want to. I was getting impatient with crowds,

1188
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 3: and I promised myself I wouldn't do that when I

1189
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 3: didn't have access to that.

1190
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I miss it.

1191
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to even appreciate the most drunken, hecky crowd

1192
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 3: that is anti vaxer or whatever.

1193
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't care where I'm at.

1194
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 3: I gotta I've gotta appreciate this, and it's so far

1195
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: I have felt like I'm appreciating it more than before

1196
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: this thing happened.

1197
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: But I got to hold onto that because.

1198
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 2: Do you think this sets are going better because you

1199
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 2: have that energy?

1200
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

1201
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Certainly not, because I still don't know what the hell

1202
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm doing, and I'm I'm just still rusty. I'm you know,

1203
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 3: because I that thing that you mentioned, like you feel

1204
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 3: like you forgot how to do it. I'll do that

1205
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 3: during a weekend of shows like I did shows last night.

1206
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 3: It went fine, Why would tonight not go well? And

1207
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 3: out feel good until I get that first laugh, and

1208
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 3: then I'm like, okay, I guess this won't be terrible.

1209
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 3: I've always it's a clean slate of light. This might

1210
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 3: be going, this might be terrible for me. I'm always

1211
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 3: able to put myself there and I shouldn't, but I do.

1212
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 4: I did. I did a show last week and the

1213
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: first half, the first half of my set was I

1214
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 4: tried and true material that I was just like, let

1215
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 4: me just take out some of the old hits, you know.

1216
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 4: And of course that felt so much weirder than the

1217
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 4: second half of my set, which was brand new Theodore

1218
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 4: Roosevelt stuff, because it was it was like, it felt

1219
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 4: like driving a tractor, where I was like, wait, I've

1220
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 4: driven a car and I kind of know what this

1221
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 4: is like. But there's some weird stuff here that I

1222
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,919
Speaker 4: don't understand what's happening anymore. And then the second half

1223
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, now I'm just walking around. I

1224
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 4: get this.

1225
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 3: What it's your favorite fact about Theodore Roosevelt that you.

1226
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 2: That you've spun into comedy.

1227
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 4: I will tell you one of Theodore Roosevelt's. If you

1228
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 4: look at a top ten list, there will be something

1229
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 4: about how much he loved animals and hunting. He founded

1230
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 4: the National Parks. Was he But the way that this

1231
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 4: love started he was a little boy and he went

1232
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 4: to the store and got obsessed with a dead seal.

1233
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 4: They were selling a dead seal, and he went back

1234
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 4: for days to be like, hey, could I get the

1235
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 4: dead seal? For days and eventually they gave him just

1236
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 4: the head. Now to guess this, go to Wikipedia control

1237
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 4: f the word seal and it will be confirmed. The

1238
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 4: craziest the reason I've had so much fun with this

1239
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 4: is like that particular fact is not on top ten lists?

1240
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 4: How is that not the thing we're all talking about?

1241
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 4: This is one of the greatest presidents ever and he

1242
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 4: carried a seal head.

1243
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Home and did it talk about as a relationship or

1244
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 3: what he did with this disembodied seal head or what? What?

1245
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 4: What?

1246
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: What was his goal to get into taxidermy? What?

1247
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, yeah, you honestly just nailed it,

1248
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 4: because he did get really into taxidermy, and you like,

1249
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 4: he became obsessed with taxidermy. But also the reason that

1250
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 4: he the way he would use his taxidermy is he

1251
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 4: tried to open up a little museum with his cousins

1252
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 4: and the seal head was like the big display.

1253
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's behind a velvet rope.

1254
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he would like capture bugs and be like, oh,

1255
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure, showing his parents like, oh very cute, Teddy,

1256
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 4: you got some bugs? And is that a monster head?

1257
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 5: What is this?

1258
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,439
Speaker 4: Is not a creature we see every day. We don't

1259
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 4: have the Internet to know what a seal even really is.

1260
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 4: But here is the rotting head of an animal.

1261
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 5: Okay, I am seeing in an adult swim animated series.

1262
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: When you get all these things together, that's just like

1263
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 5: almost like a true crime documentary, but about Teddy Roosevelt

1264
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 5: and all the things about him that are disturbing to

1265
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 5: say the least.

1266
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 4: Totally another fun wy shot.

1267
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 3: It wasn't he shot during a speech too and finished

1268
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 3: the speech or did some pushes?

1269
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 4: I not believe you just said this again. I feel

1270
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 4: like I'm on comics unleash right now, because I was

1271
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 4: about to say, let me give you one more fun

1272
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 4: fact and tied into that. My favorite part of this

1273
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 4: has been taking these big things. You know that Teddy Roosevelt, well,

1274
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 4: right as he was about to give a speech, was

1275
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 4: shot in the stomach, and he gave the speech, and

1276
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 4: the speech was like an hour and a half. He

1277
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 4: spoke for an hour and a half as he was bleeding,

1278
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 4: and the crowd knew that he was bleeding, but his

1279
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 4: whole thing was like, I'm a manly badass, So that

1280
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 4: added to it. But what nobody asks about is the

1281
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 4: man that shot him. So I did a bunch of

1282
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 4: original research. I went through like university archives, and I

1283
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 4: ended up finding handwritten letters that have never been transcribed

1284
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 4: that the guy that shot Teddy Roosevelt wrote after being

1285
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 4: put in an asylum to the doctor being like, I'm

1286
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 4: not crazy. Yes, I saw a ghost that told me

1287
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 4: to kill Teddy Roosevelt, but I'm normal. Let me out.

1288
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 4: And it's like it's a man's actual writing.

1289
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: And it's like, he said, a ghost totally doing.

1290
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 4: More specifically the way that this is why, this is

1291
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 4: why it feels a bit like a ted talk, and

1292
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 4: I apologize. Teddy Roosevelt became president because he was vice president.

1293
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 4: William McKinley was assassinated, and this guy, John F. Shrink

1294
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,959
Speaker 4: said that William McKinley came to him in a dream

1295
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 4: and was like, if you don't kill Teddy Roosevelt, the

1296
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 4: world will end. And so he was like, well, I

1297
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 4: guess I gotta go kill Teddy Roosevelt.

1298
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a civic duty at that point, right,

1299
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 3: is a global duty?

1300
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1301
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a universal dude deegation.

1302
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 5: Or so, do you ever lay into your ninety minute

1303
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 5: presentation any kind of you're getting shot element?

1304
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: Do you try to parallel that in your.

1305
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 4: Own speech about my life?

1306
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 5: Well that you're doing a ninety minute speech? Oh so

1307
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 5: at some point, don't you think you should also get

1308
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 5: shot so.

1309
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 4: That it opens with the gun shot?

1310
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 2: Okay?

1311
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Right?

1312
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, want to pitch, just want to

1313
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 2: get it out there.

1314
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 4: I love I love this, I love this. We're getting

1315

Speaker 3: I'm going to give this gun to someone in the

1317
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 3: audience if you don't like a joke, shoot me square

1318

Speaker 3: in the stomach.

1319
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 4: The bit that I'm working on and the bit that

1320
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 4: I did last week, I start telling the story of

1321
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 4: him getting shot, and then I'm like, wait, could somebody

1322
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 4: actually stand in be the be Teddy Roosevelt and no

1323

1324
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 4: You'd be the guy shooting and actually there was somebody

1325

Speaker 4: standing next to him, could you And just getting like

1326
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 4: fifteen twenty people from the audience by the end to

1327
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 4: come up and act out this whole scene and just

1328
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 4: like kind of playing with that. It's not really fully

1329
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 4: worked out yet, but that's how I'm trying to make

1330
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 4: it more performance and less ted talk.

1331
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: I love that you do that.

1332
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a comic that I came up with

1333
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 3: in Austin rich Gabe that would give a piece of paper.

1334
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 3: He'd give like, here's your line. He would hand it

1335
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 3: to people in the audience. He's like, when the lights

1336
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 3: flicker and we have everyone out a piece of paper

1337
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 3: with directions like when this happens, yell this out, and

1338
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 3: everyone was involved and it was so fun for the

1339
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 3: whole audience and it was one long, five minute LT. Yeah,

1340
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 3: and you've always reminded me of him, So I love

1341
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 3: that you also have a bit like that.

1342
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 4: That's wonderful.

1343
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 5: That's very that's very ron Lynchy too, that very kind

1344
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 5: of like we're all in this together.

1345
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 3: He won the Funniest Person in Austin contest and moved.

1346
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he did stand up after that, but

1347
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 3: it wasn't stand up. It was these performance bits he had,

1348
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 3: like a ventroloquism bit that was a tape recorder that

1349
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 3: he'd leave on stage while he went to get a

1350
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 3: drink of water and a pillow that had a voice

1351
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 3: in it. And it was a pillow and I can't

1352
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 3: even remember the bits, but they were all planned out

1353
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 3: and well timed. And yeah, to give an audience a role, yes,

1354
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 3: or a line, or to get them on stage with you.
