Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: The downcast lets you control the the playback rate, which
Speaker 6: is cool, like you can speat it up, slow it down,
Speaker 6: rather than guessing with other players. It's like, oh, a

Speaker 6: that you want to go right to?
Speaker 4: Are you give to the third ball joke? Is what

Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, I sense that something was bad earlier today?
Speaker 1: You know, just college.
Speaker 7: Lauren has moved down to Whittier, California to go to
Speaker 7: college at it's called Whittier College, right.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, we're the Whittier College Poets.
Speaker 4: No, that's your that's your mascot.
Speaker 1: If that's not an indication of what a college experience
Speaker 1: is going to be.
Speaker 5: The guys are partying l at gar Allan Poe.
Speaker 7: God, you know it, the poet, the fighting poets.
Speaker 5: If this chamber door is a knocking, don't bother wrapping.
Speaker 4: Don't follow studying this semester, Thank you.
Speaker 7: Uh so, yeah, Lauren, I went and got her the
Speaker 7: other day because I haven't seen her since she's come
Speaker 7: down for college. And also apparently on the weekends everybody
Speaker 7: goes home instead of hanging out and partying at the dorms,
Speaker 7: everyone just goes to.
Speaker 4: The parents that they just to the parents house.
Speaker 5: Do a lot of the students are they from like
Speaker 5: Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're from around the area.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And what do you do on the weekend?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: What do I do?
Speaker 4: You add?
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm Netflix and chill party of one. Oh in
Speaker 1: my not air conditioned dorm.
Speaker 7: Oh no, yeah, that's kind of that's a big part
Speaker 7: of the heartbreak. Uh that it's probably what one hundred
Speaker 7: and fifty in your dorm room.
Speaker 6: Basically, Well, isn't there isn't there campus parties tigers?
Speaker 1: Oh oh yes there is. But unless you are on
Speaker 1: a sports team, you will be blatantly shunned and asked
Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing here?
Speaker 6: And that that seems like I just imagine like a
Speaker 6: blonde wispy heard villain from an eighties ski movie.
Speaker 1: You got it, You're you're you were there?
Speaker 4: So that that happened to you, Laura.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yes, an older girl on the on one
Speaker 1: of the teams.
Speaker 7: We won't be specifical, just in case she's a fan
Speaker 7: one of these yeah, okay, traditional athletic organization teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I walk in with my roommate who had who
Speaker 1: had invited me and goes, what are you doing here?
Speaker 4: Who are you with?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I'm I'm went my roommate.

Speaker 5: She like what she sold you out?
Speaker 1: Totally sold me.
Speaker 5: Out with this. Oh yeah, roll over the eye puller O.
Speaker 5: Can you bet you no? That's she should have thought
Speaker 5: before she did that.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, when you're in those kinds of situations,
Speaker 7: it's like, these are life determining situations. When the when
Speaker 7: the mean girl is saying to your roommate, what are
Speaker 7: you doing here? Do you risk yourself being at the
Speaker 7: party to say, hey, I brought her, I invited her?
Speaker 4: Or do you basically do.
Speaker 7: The thing that makes everyone's skin crawl, which is like
Speaker 7: she decided to tag along.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's straight out of Can't Buy Me Love?
Speaker 5: It's it totally I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: There was a bet and they bet me I wouldn't
Speaker 6: take you to this party.
Speaker 5: Lawns.

Speaker 1: It's essentially it's like an anonymous big chat room for colleges.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so and it and it gets it's real great.
Speaker 1: Some of it's like, hey, the girl in the blue
Speaker 1: shorts that was at the cafeteria today, you're real cute.
Speaker 1: Or it can just go real severe into you might

Speaker 7: Yak yak is for college students only, right, yes, But
Speaker 7: then when you're looking at that one and people are
Speaker 7: saying that, hey, girl in the blue shorts, it's because
Speaker 7: it's just wittier colleges yaikyak account.
Speaker 5: That's just like Facebook was at the beginning stage.
Speaker 4: It's the new version of Facebook.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: I wonder if they could not make it sound like
Speaker 6: a vomit sound effect.
Speaker 4: Yak yak.

Speaker 6: app and play around with it and then trust yourself
Speaker 6: to not go in too deep with the.
Speaker 5: Yak yak community. Absolutely, I did that with Tender. I
Speaker 5: didn't actually mean anyone.
Speaker 6: It's just like, oh, interesting, this feels awful judging people
Speaker 6: based on the top of their head to their shoulders.
Speaker 7: Well, would you say the one you use the bust
Speaker 7: size judgment? The app that you do use is Snapchat
Speaker 7: the most.

Speaker 6: became a stand up comedian person.
Speaker 5: Oh, that was just a group that I hesitantly joined.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And also maybe the people who were talking in the
Speaker 7: Knock Knock joke group, maybe those were just a lot
Speaker 7: of noxious people that talk too much, and the truly
Speaker 7: funny people just weren't saying anything right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is that a possibility? Possibility?
Speaker 6: Okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Just trying to work this out. We're gonna work this out.

Speaker 5: By knock now Oh no, yeah, you might.
Speaker 6: You can take in the training learn from it. I
Speaker 6: did this with bad therapy groups. You can get stuff

Speaker 6: have learned from your parents.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like sake.
Speaker 7: You can't strip those muscles if you're still doing push ups.

Speaker 5: I don't know, something unfunny. I don't mean to judge.
Speaker 6: People based on their occupation, and I've kind of lost
Speaker 6: track of.
Speaker 4: What I was gonna say.

Speaker 7: high strong. So as we were all looking at the script,
Speaker 7: she started going, this isn't good, this isn't good, and

Speaker 4: is rare.
Speaker 7: He read it, he liked it, and he defended it,

Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Got the uh societies which is basically a social outcast
Speaker 1: version of sororities, which I don't know where you stand
Speaker 1: on sororities, but they're pretty much social outcasts anyway.

Speaker 5: buy them?
Speaker 6: Yeah m hm, you just pres some money on him,
Speaker 6: okaya a monthly friend feet.

Speaker 4: Uh okay, what else besides societies?
Speaker 1: Let's see what else? There was an equestriane club. Okay,
Speaker 1: thinking about faking it just for a little sit.

Speaker 1: There's you know the yearbook or the newspaper, newspaper, there's.
Speaker 4: A radio station that's that's one of the one I said.

Speaker 7: that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 5: That would be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be cool. Has the potential to be cool.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 6: That but you you'd be in full control over that
Speaker 6: unless you had like a radio sidekick. At least I'd
Speaker 6: understand being scared of the group dynamic with improv. What
Speaker 6: if you had your own one person improv radio show?
Speaker 6: Karen and I are basically.
Speaker 5: Doing it right now.
Speaker 4: This is radio and I think you're killing it already, Lauren.

Speaker 5: our activities. It's called a greyhound bus ticket.
Speaker 1: Just double checking.
Speaker 5: How far is your home? How come you don't get
Speaker 5: to go home for the weekends.
Speaker 4: Like the other I'm from the Bay Area. It's Palma
Speaker 4: where I'm from. Oh okay, yeah, so six hours away.
Speaker 5: My dad did radio up in the Bay Area.
Speaker 6: I think that's answers all of these queries, what are
Speaker 6: the coincidence of?
Speaker 4: That? Is just an answer that's kind of amazing.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be great. I just can't stop thinking of.
Speaker 6: There's occasionally a job fair that I would promise my
Speaker 6: parents I'd go to and you go and shake but
Speaker 6: like put on a crooked tie and hear about the
Speaker 6: worst jobs ever.
Speaker 5: Yes, Like there'd just be a guy that's like, well, if.
Speaker 6: You bring if you have your own post post hole diggers,
Speaker 6: you just meet me at the site. This year, we're
Speaker 6: cutting down small trees at the ski area. And I
Speaker 6: would go and do manual labor with some strange older man.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: One time I went to the.
Speaker 6: Job fair and got a job selling coupon books door
Speaker 6: to door for serendipity ventures, and uh, you know when
Speaker 6: my tactic was to find the most valuable coupon.
Speaker 5: I'm like, all you have to do is use this
Speaker 5: one coupon the books paid for.
Speaker 4: That's good sales.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And one time I was some of my co workers.
Speaker 5: We picked them up at the Elbow Room bar and
Speaker 5: they got in a fist fight and I cried. I
Speaker 5: was sixteen years old. There's always cut co knife sales.
Speaker 6: I learned about that at the job fair door to
Speaker 6: door also, but cutlery.
Speaker 4: We watched Cutlery Corner last night. I did.
Speaker 5: Cutlary Corner is still on the air.
Speaker 4: Yes, which season it's it, It's gotta be the season
Speaker 4: forty eight.
Speaker 1: He didn't seem on now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was not a good knife for him. Now
Speaker 4: on Cutlery Corner, he didn't seem like he knew. Have
Speaker 4: you ever seen Cutlery Corner. No, it's pretty great.
Speaker 7: It's like it's on it's usually on like two in
Speaker 7: the morning, and it's like one long infomercial for knives,
Speaker 7: all these but not kitchen knives, like how to like
Speaker 7: gut a deer type of knife?
Speaker 4: Oh Yai blueyet knives.
Speaker 5: It was Cold Steel, a brand name that was mentioned.
Speaker 4: No, because I think that's too high end. They make
Speaker 4: cutler yes, yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 7: Have katanas on this just standard pocket knives. It's pretty hilarious.
Speaker 7: But the guy that's selling them is a real blow hard.
Speaker 7: He's like, he reminds you of a guy from a
Speaker 7: state fair who would have like the little mic right
Speaker 7: in front of his mouth, who would just they.
Speaker 4: Don't stop talking the entire time.
Speaker 7: And my friends, my friend Georgia hars Stark and our
Speaker 7: boyfriend her fiance.
Speaker 5: I know them, I like them.
Speaker 4: Yes, Georgia and Vince.
Speaker 7: Yes, it was we were at their house and Vince
Speaker 7: and Jesse Pop is another comic. Apparently I've been watching
Speaker 7: Cutlery Corner for years, so we watched it with them,
Speaker 7: and then I started watching it when, like when I
Speaker 7: was on the road, me and Dreddon were in a
Speaker 7: hotel room one night we came home from shows, turn
Speaker 7: on TV Cutlery Corners on and it's actually funnier than
Speaker 7: most shows.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I went at the expense of the strange guy that
Speaker 6: gets all into it and he's a blowhard about knives.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well he kind of makes it great though, Like
Speaker 7: it's the kind of thing, like you, I appreciate it
Speaker 7: from being on this podcast, where being interesting talking for
Speaker 7: an hour is a hard thing to do, right, we
Speaker 7: make it look easy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, because we don't just have to talk
Speaker 5: about knives.
Speaker 7: If we were pinned into a single topic, a single
Speaker 7: object topic, it gets hard, it gets repetitive.
Speaker 6: When I first moved here, I did stand up for
Speaker 6: the first time at the Ramata in basement because that's
Speaker 6: where Mark Maron would be sighted. Yeah, so I would
Speaker 6: go there, the one on Vermont him his approval. Yes,
Speaker 6: And it's also where my parents, my dad and stepmom
Speaker 6: pulled over during a road trip with a map fight
Speaker 6: and decide to get a divorce.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, wow right there.
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, I recognize this place, and oh yeah,
Speaker 6: that's where Genie decided to leave.

Speaker 5: Uh, but these guys, no, I was not.
Speaker 6: I was yet an adult, but no longer a boy
Speaker 6: yet to be an adult.
Speaker 5: I was in that middle area.
Speaker 6: Sorry anyway, these guys that ran the show were not funny,
Speaker 6: but they were good speakers.
Speaker 5: And it was because they at the fair. They had
Speaker 5: the headset and they would.
Speaker 6: Sell pots and bands and they had their their you know,
Speaker 6: presentation that they would get give and they made money
Speaker 6: doing it.
Speaker 5: But it's just I don't enjoy sales. I do not
Speaker 5: want to sell anything.
Speaker 4: No, it's the worst.
Speaker 5: I can't even sell myself.
Speaker 4: We were just.
Speaker 7: Talking about how awful retail is because I was saying,

Speaker 7: things in that makes your water blue.
Speaker 6: Did you know the Jolly Roger? It's in a skull
Speaker 6: and crossbones. Flag is illegal to fly from a boat.

Speaker 7: declaring pirates.
Speaker 5: You're breaking maritime law on a federal level.
Speaker 4: That's rad. How do you know that?
Speaker 6: I know a lot of things, just stuff I pick
Speaker 6: up from you know, never from books, but sometimes from
Speaker 6: a man yelling in a street or father lying to
Speaker 6: me again.
Speaker 4: But we know for a fact that's real, Marrit.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't have a like they'll pull you over
Speaker 6: and say take down that flag.
Speaker 5: There's it's traditional. It's like a traditional law. Do not
Speaker 5: have a jolly roger.
Speaker 4: It's not funny.
Speaker 5: No, it's not jolly.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 7: You know what we should do is go drive Lord
Speaker 7: by the beach.
Speaker 6: The best way I think we could do it is
Speaker 6: not go all the way to the parking lot, okay,
Speaker 6: but turn right.
Speaker 5: Before it and go right and go left. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: and it's less crowded.
Speaker 7: No one knows left we can also it's too you
Speaker 7: just drive down it. We don't have to like go
Speaker 7: on to it right well right.
Speaker 6: Oh they I mean the sand just gets in your shorts,
Speaker 6: between your toes.
Speaker 5: It's there for days. If you forgets a shower.
Speaker 4: You don't want to get involved.
Speaker 6: I love the beach, honestly, but it's and right now,
Speaker 6: the water is bathtub warm.
Speaker 4: Is it really?
Speaker 6: It's so warm? It's scary warm. It's it's al gore warm.
Speaker 4: Have you gotten in there lately?
Speaker 5: I get in there a lot and I just kind
Speaker 5: of churn.
Speaker 6: I kick, you know, it's good for my hips, opens
Speaker 6: them up, kick like a frog.
Speaker 5: People always think I'm drowning. I'm a horrible swimmer. But
Speaker 5: it's therapeutic, and the salt water it's good. It's good
Speaker 5: for your joints.
Speaker 4: And there's some negative ions that you're sucking.
Speaker 5: In rods and cones firing.
Speaker 7: I seem like they've never seen before, pistons undulating.
Speaker 5: What are we talking about?
Speaker 4: Oh, sorry, no idea.
Speaker 6: But it is when you swim in the ocean, that
Speaker 6: does leave kind of a gross, sticky coat of sand,
Speaker 6: just like a film. Yeah, because to be honest, and
Speaker 6: I don't think I'm saying any new news, the ocean's
Speaker 6: kind of polluted here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well there was part of it had to get
Speaker 7: closed the other day because needles and tampons were washing up.
Speaker 4: On the shore. Did you see that news story?
Speaker 7: Specifically those things, specifically those two things en mass were
Speaker 7: washing up on shore and they had to clumb they
Speaker 7: close one of the beaches along here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's horrifying.
Speaker 4: That's it's a bad combination. This are the two things
Speaker 4: nobody wants to look at.
Speaker 5: Or talk about No, oh, that's disgusting.
Speaker 4: The ends and the tees.
Speaker 5: That's so. It wasn't like we saw a few. They
Speaker 5: were in a giant mass together.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'd love to see a picture, but
Speaker 4: I don't. I just I basically read headlines.
Speaker 7: Sometimes I'll skim the first two lines of the art
Speaker 7: and then I'm like, I get it.
Speaker 4: I'll write the rest of the story myself.
Speaker 5: I got this.
Speaker 4: I still in these blanks.
Speaker 6: I'll take it from here, you guys, let me take
Speaker 6: it to the tampon barge.
Speaker 7: Stole tampons, used them, through them into the ocean.
Speaker 5: Never reuse, never reuse or.
Speaker 4: Recycle in both of those cases.
Speaker 5: Really, it's so gross.
Speaker 6: Yeah, cartoonishly in the Gulf when I lived in Texas,
Speaker 6: like in Galveston, those are all this garbage from all over.
Speaker 6: There's just Japanese riding on it. It's it just comes.
Speaker 6: I think it's called a gyre where there's like a
Speaker 6: whirlpool out in the ocean. It's just it can be
Speaker 6: tons of garbage just hanging out.
Speaker 5: It is plastic.
Speaker 4: Oh, I've heard of the big plastic island that's out
Speaker 4: in the end.
Speaker 6: There's like five note notable ones. My friend goes on
Speaker 6: these green Peace type boats and there's five five gyres. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's the name of their group, five Gyres.
Speaker 5: Go look it up.
Speaker 4: I'm serious.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they help get plastic out of the ocean.
Speaker 6: I did have a very very horrible comedy show for them,
Speaker 6: and they it was, you know, donating my comedy. But
Speaker 6: they gave me a bag of plastic garbage that was
Speaker 6: found in birds and fish and no afro picks many straws.
Speaker 6: I'm so weird about straws now, I know, we just
Speaker 6: went and there's two green straws.
Speaker 5: It's what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4: I know, Oh, here's the canal, Lauren.
Speaker 7: Yeah, then this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is this is one of the bigger ones.
Speaker 5: There is, like the neighborhood little elves.

Speaker 1: sharing things that don't necessarily needed to be shared with
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 5: My sister posted the picture of my nephew when he

Speaker 5: Eat pizza.
Speaker 7: Now they're like, publicly, you guys, okay, down there, But it's.
Speaker 4: Their version of being interesting.
Speaker 7: Yeah, It's like how my dad would come into the
Speaker 7: room when we'd all be watching MTV and start dancing
Speaker 7: like Billie Idol, and me and my sister would almost cry.
Speaker 7: And now all the other kids thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 7: YEA was to embarrass us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was always embarrassed, but compared to my friends,
Speaker 6: my parents were hilarious.
Speaker 5: So I remember one time she brought down pizza for us.
Speaker 6: And right as one of my friends said, how come
Speaker 6: there's no girls at your parties? And then my mom,
Speaker 6: as she put brought down the pizza, said, what am
Speaker 6: I chopped pepperoni?
Speaker 5: That was a good classic mom Joe.
Speaker 4: She was using, Uh, she was using what was around her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she used. She she used did some prop comedy.
Speaker 4: She was in the moment.
Speaker 6: Probably she picked up the pizza and pretended it was
Speaker 6: a steering wheel.
Speaker 7: She said, nerk stops of town, terrifying the runaway off ramp.
Speaker 4: Has that happened? Has it happened you?
Speaker 7: Lord?
Speaker 4: Have you? Have you been humiliated on social media by
Speaker 4: your parents?
Speaker 1: Not by my parents, but by my ex boyfriend's mom.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, she's heavy on the she's heavy on the comments.
Speaker 1: She did send me smokeemeal cookies, so well, that's nice,
Speaker 1: silin her hero.
Speaker 4: You decide, it's hard to call. That's a tough one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's a complex issue, you decide.
Speaker 5: Yeah, people can.
Speaker 6: Get away with a lot when there's warm a warm
Speaker 6: batch of oatmeal cookies waiting there.
Speaker 7: Also, what are what are people your age really doing
Speaker 7: on Snapchat?
Speaker 4: Is it as bad as we all think it might be?
Speaker 4: I think I think it's worse really.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's just it's the war college. Snapchat is
Speaker 1: allis is it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh, you bet you. But there's a lot of and
Speaker 1: this may this may scare scare you just just a little.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of cocaine, just a just a
Speaker 1: line to start your day.
Speaker 5: You're kidding that doesn't know.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4: I wish I was.
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, And they like to put little captions
Speaker 1: good morning, you know.
Speaker 4: They they're just it's with a line of cocaine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, no, yeah, cocaine is it's it's
Speaker 1: making a comeback that's real strong. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it necessarily ever died down, but.
Speaker 4: I think it did a little bit but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's coming back with the vengeance.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's amazing to me. Can kill you acting like
Speaker 5: I've never.
Speaker 4: Done good call, good call? It can kill you. That
Speaker 4: looks like the guy that I hate for the dog park.
Speaker 5: He looks like he's a hatable guy in a lot
Speaker 5: of places.
Speaker 7: He looks like every d bag in l A.
Speaker 4: I feel like that.
Speaker 7: Children of today don't understand how bad cocaine is for
Speaker 7: you though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's okay because a lot of these kids
Speaker 1: are educating themselves because they're going to Chico, so they're
Speaker 1: going to figure it out. They'll figure it out on
Speaker 1: their own.
Speaker 7: Up in the north central North California.
Speaker 4: Chico State.
Speaker 5: Isn't cocaine super expensive? Don't you have to buy it
Speaker 5: in a briefcase?
Speaker 4: Oh, there's cash, there's flowing.
Speaker 1: There's cash flowing.
Speaker 4: There's cocaine money ready and available.
Speaker 6: And cash ready to roll up to get that sweet
Speaker 6: sweet routing powder up that nostrile.
Speaker 5: Just wait, anyway, I've never done this stuff.
Speaker 4: You No, I did not. I'm just guessing it's basically
Speaker 4: it's just addiction powder is what it is.
Speaker 7: Because anything you might get from it does not outweigh
Speaker 7: the fact that then you need it right and all.
Speaker 5: The only benefits are sped up.
Speaker 7: Conversation, smoking, no thanks, telling terrible stories.
Speaker 4: Just start a podcast, you can do all those things.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I say after, just to close up
Speaker 6: this activity fair, I think you should start or do
Speaker 6: the radio thing.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 6: Judging from hearing you talk, you're quick, you're funny, you
Speaker 6: should be doing a show.
Speaker 4: Yep, it'd be fun. It's true.
Speaker 5: I'll look into it, you should.
Speaker 4: But look into it with a positive attitude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not this negative shape to bring it right down.
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 1: I was the only brown girl at my school for
Speaker 1: twelve years straight. So what do you Yeah, what do

Speaker 4: Population always there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay, yeah, and I don't fit in there either.

Speaker 4: Well, you got to process it, you know.
Speaker 5: It helps you deal with things. To write it out.
