Speaker 4: Not that anyone's been difficult, but you do have. Yeah,

58
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: it's like when you don't know someone at all, we

59
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: get a little nervous. We admit that. We usually open

60
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: and by saying we don't know this person, so we're scared.

61
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: We're scared. We don't want them to not like us.

62
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680

92
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: Boy, nothing stands out. I'm not saying it wasn't good conversation.

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 5: It was just onto the next decent topics, so nothing

94
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: really stood out.

95
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640

00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,840

00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440

101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: Chris When you're hanging out with four other we have

102
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 4: a very common name for our age bracket. You have

103
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: a lot of Chris friends, Right, Chris, I have.

104
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: A lot of Christians. I'm well, we talked about this

105
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: for at least forty five minutes state. But I'm Christian

106
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: and you're a Christopher, right, you know it's slightly different,

107
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: but a lot of Latino Christians, out of Latino followers

108
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: of Christ. It maybe people who aren't as committed as

109
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: Heesus will go by Christian. I think that's what it is.

110
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things in the world that

111
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: people actually have the name. And when I as I

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: read it as a white girl from a farm, it's

113
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: like and you know, Marie and Jesus, and it's just

114
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: like Jesus is gonna be there. This is amazing. It's amazing.

115
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: A lot of pressure, a lot of pressure.

116
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: My name altogether, Christopher James Fairbanks often gets cut off

117
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: on a ticket or something of airplane ticket? Is that

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: what they're called? And I really I feel like I

119
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: can't I'm not worthy when it gets it's abbreviated to

120
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 4: christ I just don't know that I have that quality.

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: But I'm a Christopher, of course, Christopher being the patron

122
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: saint of I believe the ocean. In Hawaii, I got

123
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: a little tiny medallion that Saint Christopher on it and

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: ironically lost it swimming in the ocean. What does that mean?

125
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: It mean I'm not going to argue you, right, that's rude.

126
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: It's a podcast who cares? But as a Catholic forced Catholic,

127
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say. The first thing that Saint Christopher is

128
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: a patron saint of is the ocean first? Only because right,

129
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: it's ironically patron saint of lost things?

130
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: Right?

131
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: Or is it driving a car?

132
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: Or or is it coincidentally or is it I believe

133
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 4: there was a list and I had to google until

134
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: I finally found Ocean on there.

135
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh, you were picking and choosing. You give me a

136
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: cafeteria about what There's.

137
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: The Saint of a lot of negative stuff, and then

138
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the ocean. I'm like, okay, I'll

139
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: hang with that, but not, you know, the Saint of lies.

140
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: I think that's one of them. I'm not going to lie.

141
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: I think a story. But my dad always taught me like,

142
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: it's okay to lie, it makes the story better. So

143
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: I became a liar. I lie a lot for a living.

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: I'm lying right now. I never lost a necklace while

145
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: swimming in the ocean.

146
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 2: Of lies.

147
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: I will please.

148
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: Saint Christopher helped me think of a good lie right

149
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: now to get out of work.

150
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: Oh please please.

151
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: Catholic lies. When I was a kid, my parents lied

152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: about where we live and go to this Catholic school.

153
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: We live Englewood, but there's a Catholic school in Westchester

154
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: that they wanted me to go to. So we had

155
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: I had to get baptized, and so they had to

156
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: bring my I just showed up with my parents to

157
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: get baptized on a Saturday for this priest, and the

158
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: priest said, where are your godparents? And then my dad

159
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: came back with my sister who is eighteen, and our

160
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: fifty year old mechanic, and.

161
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: They were like, yeah, oh my God.

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: So we lied just so I can go to the school.

163
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: But that felt like even as a little kid, I mean,

164
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: Catholic church is creepy and where you get baptized whatever

165
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: that weird creepy room is. But having my parents lie

166
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: in that situation, I still feel it. If I if

167
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: I could, I could picture that room and feel that

168
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 3: lie that this this guy named his name was Wachel Jesus.

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 6: It was my sister Laura eighteen, maybe tops fifty year

170
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 6: old mechanic who had a had he had his his

171
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: garage was in his actual garage, so he ran. He

172
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 6: was like a car mechanic out of his house named Weechol,

173
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 6: who was like just came from his mechanic shop.

174
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: He was covered in and stuff and he's like okay,

175
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: and I was like what the hell. Then my parents

176
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: and my dad's was like, go on, what a fucker

177
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: for you to have a better education, and uh yeah,

178
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: that started my descent into Catholicism. It started from there

179
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: because my parents really weren't Catholic.

180
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: So, oh, the whole thing was a sham.

181
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: The whole thing was pretty much a sham. So my parents,

182
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they were kind of Catholic in Cuba,

183
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: but they weren't Catholic in America. They're just like, we

184
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: want you to go to a school where you're not

185
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: going to get shot, so we're just going to pretend.

186
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: And so we did that for a long time.

187
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: I think if Jesus knew that that was a good lie,

188
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: that was like.

189
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: Jesus and Chris's dad knew that was a good lie.

190
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: It was worth it, and it all worked out in

191
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: the end.

192
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, lying for education is okay.

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: Did the guy I'm going to just call him a

194
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: superintendent of at school did he seem to was he

195
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: taken aback by their age gap or was he like

196
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 4: it's fine, Hey, I.

197
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: Think it was fine.

198
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: Remember that.

199
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: I remember being like, this is weird. But then I'm

200
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: sure like they're probably like that's how the Latinos do

201
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: you know they do it?

202
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: You know, they love the mechanic has to be in

203
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: the family. They love to include the mechanic and all

204
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: their stuff.

205
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they just, I guess just went along with it.

206
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: I mean it worked.

207
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: I mean technically god parents don't have to be themselves

208
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: like you know, married or anything, but they are responsible

209
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: for your basically for your spiritual lifestyle. So you should

210
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: go back to that mechanic and be like, I've lost

211
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: my way and you have done nothing to help you.

212
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the the minute he feels guilty about it,

213
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: that's when you ask for a free break job.

214
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Cho what's the name of that.

215
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: Just we cho would is like a crazy nickname. My

216
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: dad also called him fail, which is ugly, which so

217
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: my dad and my sister. My dad was basically like, yeah,

218
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: if I die. I mean, this mom specialist is your

219
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: new spiritual dad. That's good, that's good. We chose got you,

220
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: We got you. We chose long, we chose probably one

221
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: hundred years old if he's around, but you're listening.

222
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: We chose God bless you. We chose.

223
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: Made the ocean bless you. So that was here Inglewood

224
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: as in Inglewood Lost. And I don't know why I

225
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: thought you were a Bay Area kid because you just

226
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: because he lived there once that means you were born.

227
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where I started comedy and stuff. But I

228
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: grew up. I grew up down here.

229
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: Okay, you weren't born in Kuoite Tower. Okay, I was

230
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: not born Tower. I just assumed.

231
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: That's right. Let's every comic thinks every comic is from

232
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: the city they started comedy and because that's just what

233
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: counts most.

234
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are still people that can't get over the

235
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: fact I don't have a Texas accent.

236
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: That's for you, He's from Austin or something. Yea.

237
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: And comedy wise, I go along with it, because if

238
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: you say you're a comedian that started in Montana, no

239
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: one really takes you seriously.

240
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: People just kind of drift off their eyes just kind

241
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: of flick off to the side and they start thinking

242
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: about something else.

243
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just assume we're on zoom. I'm not going

244
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: to take that personally.

245
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: Staring off amazing, amazing zoom revelation that thinking you're making

246
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: eye contact with someone isn't the truth on zoom.

247
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm so weird. You don't know where which square? Like, say,

248
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: right now, Karen, which square? Am I to you?

249
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: Bottom? Left? Baby?

250
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: Your bottom right is? Garcy is bottom left?

251
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: Baby, he's my bottom right, baby, you're my bottom right.

252
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

253
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: What we're trying to tell you right now is you're

254
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: accidentally using a baby filter.

255
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: Which one's the baby? I don't understand.

256
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: Am I a cat again?

257
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm okay. At the moment, yes, that COVID moment or

258
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: that quarantine moment when the man made himself a cat

259
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: and couldn't stop being a cat.

260
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 4: We were happy for weeks, the whole country. It was

261
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: the only time we felt close.

262
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: Again, Chris, do you know do you remember that story?

263
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: No, there was a guy that just pretended to be

264
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: a cat.

265
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: No, it was on a legal procedure on zoom, and

266
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: he was right when COVID started and his children. Yeah,

267
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: he was like he was the judge or the plaintiff

268
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: or the lawyer, and his children had been using the

269
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: zoom before him, so there was a cat filter on

270
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: his face that he couldn't get rid of, and I

271
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: was apologizing.

272
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: You have to look at the video.

273
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: It's so brilliant. I don't think people could laugh as

274
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: hard as they can now, because at the time we

275
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: were all just so bewildered and freaked out that it

276
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: was like, ha, ha, what's happening.

277
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: It's it's not just like ha, how old people don't

278
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: get technology. It's that at one point he actually feels

279
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: like he needs to say it's actually me, I'm not

280
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: a cat. He actually felt they needed to say that.

281
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: Is so great legally, this is for the record court reporter,

282
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm not a cat. Technically I like this store. Also,

283
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: there was a lady that went to the bathroom, took

284
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: her laptop into the bathroom because she didn't think people

285
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: could see her. Do you remember that one?

286
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 4: Are you thinking of the naked gun?

287
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: It was really queen.

288
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: And then and then tries to tries to kill Reggie.

289
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: Jackson, and then she's saying some opera I think what happened.

290
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: No Yeah, that was That was one where it was like, yeah,

291
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: so many great things have happened on Zoom. Let's keep

292
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,840

Speaker 2: Come on top five back top five good.

300
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: I don't have any that I could think of. I don't.

301
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: I didn't come prepared. I got a whole email about

302
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: this days in advance, be prepared to talk about zoom

303
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: in your favorite Zoom moments and pictures. Yeah, I did not.

304
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: I don't. I can't think of any.

Speaker 3: one year old.

310
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: Congratulations, thank you. Yeah, that's so exciting. Do you think

311
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: that's part of the reason you don't have any Zoom memories?

312
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: It's you don't have any memories.

313
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: Nothing else matters anymore.

314
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 3: Everything is gone. No, I'm just so exhausted. I have

315
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,320

316
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: it's really sweet. And while we're at it, we're all

317
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: been in home forever, locked in home. It's not like

318
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: it wasn't the worst time to have a baby. So

319
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: I just feel lucky to be able to see her

320
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: all the time.

321
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 4: And yeah, in the beginning when I remember joking about

322
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: how it was terrible timing, but it yeah, it was

323
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: the best timing. It turns out.

324
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it turns up at every time is a

325
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: terrible time, right, it's really whoa wow, what a hard,

326
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: relentless responsibility it is. But no time is really a

327
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: good time. But this, I mean, it's it's it's been

328
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: a fine time. It's she's really sweet and it's nice

329
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: to spend a lot of time with her. And yeah,

330
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: she's a real, real, real cookie, cool little kid.

331
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 2: Here's my question. This is amazing follow up, it's going

332
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: to be great.

333
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: Oh, I can't wait.

00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Did you did your sister Laura? I also have a

Speaker 2: family's first baby, like what's this, what's sunny status?

338
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,880

00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: I was ten, So I've been an uncle many times over.

340
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: My grandma's seventeen years old, and so I have a

Speaker 3: give a ship the baby just like she holds it

345
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: just like it's a plastic bag filled with dog food

346
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: or something random.

347
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: Like she doesn't.

348
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, momm you're holding her on She's like they're fine.

349
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: She's like she just does not she does not care.

350
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: She's just all she wants is for her to get

351
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: her ears pierced, which is so so classic.

352
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, why is so classic? That's Latina. Latina babies, Yeah, Latina.

353
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: Like we brought her home from the hospital and she

354
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, where's her ear rings? And

355
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: that was like she was just she was like they

356
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: have a service at the hospital, like they have a

357
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: whole immigrant wing for this, or you can just go.

358
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: A lot of Italian and Armenian babies are there. You're out,

359
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: You're in and out in five minutes. And it's funny.

360
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: We have an armenian. Uh, like pediatrist is out. They

361
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: are and pedutrician. I think, yeah, ball of ear rings,

362
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: all of ear rings.

363
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: That you can buy for me?

364
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: Is that the doctor?

365
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 4: Why is that? I wonder? That is so curious.

366
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: She looks so cute. It looks so cute.

367
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: I get, okay.

368
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: Because it's no.

369
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 4: I just wondered if she secretly works at Clayer's in

370
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 4: the mall. They make a lot of ear rings for babies,

371
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 4: and I always thought, what a weird business. But I

372
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 4: didn't know there's so many grandmas clamoring for pierced baby ears.

373
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: She's really all about it. She bugs me about it

374
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: every time. And I think part of it is so

375
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: you could tell that it's a girl. Maybe I think

376
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 3: that's important to like, hey, this is a girl, not

377
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: a boy, because they're all bald for a while. And uh,

378
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 3: but then I don't know. She it's very important for

379
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: my mom for this to be a girly girl. And

380
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: it's I don't know she's it's not even really her vibe,

381
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 3: but who knows. But my mom also bought her baby

382
00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: cologne like a Cuban style baby cologne that's called it's

383
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: Violets and Roses, and it's this purple. It's like it

384
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: looks like it's anti freeze or something, and it's a

385
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: Cuban baby cologne as if, Like, if you wonder how

386
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 3: someone turns into pitbull, it could be because a baby colone.

387
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: But on the back of the package it says keep

388
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 3: out of reach of children, flammable Like.

389
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 6: It's like.

390
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: And my mom's like, you have to put baby colone

391
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: on the baby. It's really crazy.

392
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: Also, you know, obviously it's a you know what if

393
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: it's a tradition or if it's if it's what your

394
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: family does or whatever. But there are a few things

395
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: that smell as good as babies, just right, Yeah, why

396
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: would you want to cover that?

397
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a whole evolutionary adaptation. It turns out they

398
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: what babies smell good. They smell like little muff and

399
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 3: so you keep them around and you want to care

400
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: for that. That's when they do that. And my mom

401
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: is like, fuck that. I want her to smell like

402
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: she's going out to a club and trying to fuck

403
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 3: some chicks. Like that's why my mom wants her to smell.

404
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm my mom, they smell good already.

405
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: She's like na, not as good as vio lettus, as.

406
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: Good as let us. We want this kid to attract

407
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: members of the opposite sex. Whatever, we all.

408
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: Get these high heeled juice for babies. Come on, that's

409
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 4: good happening.

410
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: That's the next step is the high heel I don't know.

411
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: I wonder too, because my niece is half Irish, half Mexican,

412
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: and when she was born she had like a sixty

413
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: five year old retirees head of hair. It was so funny.

414
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: We couldn't control it. She my sister had to like

415
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: slick it down constantly. And I wonder if that's like

416
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: she came out to the womb with this little cap

417
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: of black hair that was so hilarious. And I wonder

418
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: if that too, is like they immediately have this cute

419
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: almost like a Louise Brooks bob and little gold earrings

420
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: are the perfect accessory for that automatic hair, the haircut

421
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: that they have. So I don't know, I mean, that's

422
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: I totally support the earring side, even though I know

423
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: there's lots of people are like, why would you do

424
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: that to a baby. It's like it only hurts for

425
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: half an hour and then it's so cute because they're

426
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: tiny and they're like it's so perfect. But know what,

427
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: but cologne is next level, next level, that's next level. Yeah.

428
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: The more we're talking about it, the more I'm really

429
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: on board with babies and ear rings now that I'm thinking,

430
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: like my my good friend Ross, his baby, the patch

431
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 4: of hair that he was born with was in the back,

432
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 4: so it was just like a mullet that was there,

433
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: And wouldn't that look cool with just one ear ring,

434
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 4: like a like a George Michael faith Cross just from

435
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 4: one ear like the coolest baby ever. And you don't

436
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 4: want to put the cologne on that baby because he smokes.

437
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but also if you give your baby baby cologne,

438
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: you are probably actively smoking. Like that is just a

439
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: fire hazard, that is dangerous. Well, Sonny is bald on top,

440
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: and she has a straight up mullet. She has like

441
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 3: a sandy blonde mullet. And now you can't put the

442
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 3: earring on that because she'll look like some like nineteen

443
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: nineties minor league picture hasn't wear underwear, you know, hot rojack,

444
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: like one of those white trash tired king baseball players

445
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: in the nineties. Yeah, just yeah, that's not a good

446
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: look my daughter.

447
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: Now I want them to make jock straps for babies. Yeah,

448
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 4: fuck god, I just.

449
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: Want It's a whole fascinating world. But I think once

450
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: parents get into it, like, well, I don't know anything

451
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: about this, not except for through my sister. Like I

452
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: know that on my sister's husband's side, they wanted Nora

453
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: to get earrings really young, and my sister was kind

454
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: of like, it just seems, you know, like let's hold

455
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: off or whatever, like she she kind of kept it

456
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: at bay, but I was like, I don't know, I'm

457
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: kind of I'm into it. But that's the only other

458
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: than that, I wouldn't know anything about any of that stuff.

459
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: Which I bet it's like if people weren't so exhausted

460
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: who had babies, they would be they would report be

461
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: reporting back much more of the insanity because now babies

462
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 2: are marketed to in such a crazy way.

463
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's NonStop. It's just like a whole it's it's

464
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: taken over my algorithm and stuff, like it's no longer

465
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: comedy clips and stuff. It's like a would if your

466
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: baby doesn't play with this wooden toy it's gonna, you.

467
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 4: Know, be bad at math.

468
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be just like no. It was like really scary,

469
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 3: and there's a real pressure to be perfect and stuff.

470
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: But my wife is like very Midwestern and very like,

471
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: but she's like, there's no way we're putting any ear

472
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 3: rings on her. There's no way, like she says, like,

473
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: I guess they can grow back. I mean your ear

474
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: can grow in a weird way, so your ear earring

475
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: could just be like in a weird, random part of

476
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: your ear.

477
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: And then but I had to explain to her that

479
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 3: she had to wear the baby clown when my mom

480
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: comes open, yeah, and I she was like, she is

481
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: not wearing that. I mean she she basically uses just

482
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: like I don't know what kind of like Hippi stuff

483
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: she puts on her daughter, but it's like all natural stuff.

484
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 3: And I was like, we have to, and I put

485
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: it on. Yeah, you can't be racist, I was. She's

486
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: like okay, And so I was like just one sprit

487
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 3: from far away and the whole house smelled for like

488
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 3: forty eight hours and then my mom didn't even notice,

489
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Like she was like I was like waiting. I was like,

490
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, she's wearing the beyond that dust and

491
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: she was like, I didn't even notice it at all.

492
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: So I'm just we're just not using I'm keeping it

493
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: like kind of is a prop because it's as it says,

592
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440

593
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: just fell on my lap. That I get to have

594
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: like a baby that absolutely goes bonkers over Raffi and

595
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: I get to like know the guy at the same time.

596
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: It's really did.

597
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: Anyone explain to you, sorry, did anyone explain like what

598
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: the magic of Raffi is with kids? Like it's you know,

599
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: in the same way with mister Rogers where you watch

600
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: that documentary, Like I tried to watch the Mister Rogers

601
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: documentary on a plane and I was crying so hard

602
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: within the first fifteen minutes that I had to turn

603
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: it off because the man next to me was uncomfortable

604
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, this is this is super

605
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: weird me. But what got me so bad was looking

606
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: at those children looking at him the way they were

607
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: like in awe, like you are the most magical person

608
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: in the world, like did did? Was there any kind

609
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: of background about like what Raffi's hook or like how

610
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: he got kids to love him so much?

611
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I talked to a couple of different people about it,

612
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: and it's he's just like that, Like he sits in

613
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 3: a room full of kids and they can't take their

614
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: eyes off. And there's many things where like he's he's

615
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: got some X factors where he's like kind of interesting looking,

616
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: and he's got like these big, really in like engaging

617
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: eyes and like a sweet he has a very sweetmeanor

618
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: and a very gentle voice. But from talking to like musicologists,

619
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 3: I learned that he also since he's kind of a

620
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 3: folk singer, he sings within a realm that like a

621
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 3: like scales and like modes that kids understand. So it's

622
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 3: not like anything that's too complicated, and since he sings

623
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: a lot of nursery rhymes and things are kind of simple,

624
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: he's like the exact tone, the exact like he's in

625
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: the perfect musical space for kids to enjoy. It's like

626
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: the melodies are simple, they're pretty happy, they have a

627
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 3: good beat, and also he really has a gentle voice.

628
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 3: I'll try to play new stuff, Like I was really

629
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: a snob about this. I seriously was like only eno

630
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: for my daughter, like maybe some jazz, maybe jazz, like

631
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: just a straight up music snob. I was like, oh, yeah,

632
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, maybe you know, maybe I'll play a metal

633
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: machine music or something, just being like a real music

634
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: kind of an asshole about it. And she doesn't want

635
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 3: to fucking listen to and you know, like maybe like

636
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 3: some of the spacey ambient stuff, but no interest, and

637
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: it like really playing Raffi for her. She was just

638
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: like she'd perk up or she was crying, she'd like

639
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: stop crying, like in the car, if she's crying and

640
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: I play Banana Phone or Baby Beluga or something like that,

641
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: she'll just like completely stop and just kind of like listen.

642
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, I know, I don't know if there's

643
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: just something really magical about him, and you could kind

644
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 3: of hear it when you listen to his voice. There's

645
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: like a sweetness, there's like a there's a real person

646
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: in there. One thing that I learned that I was

647
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: like this is this is recorded really well. Like I

648
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: was like because I was listening to like just as music,

649
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: and I was like, the music is good. There's like

650
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: solid folk musicianship going on. There's even like good solos

651
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: and stuff. But the way it's recorded, they'll be just

652
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: like a pan op of like a kazoo over here

653
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: and a slide whistlier at the perfect time. And it

654
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: turns out it was. His first four albums were produced

655
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 3: by young Daniel Lennoi who knows yeah, Daniel Lenwell, who

656
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: produced YouTube's Joshua Tree and Bob Dylan's Time out of Mind.

657
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: You know Neil young Emilio Harris, like he is the

658
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 3: greatest probably producer of the eighties, right. He was like

659
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: a kid who was recording in his mom's basement outside

660
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: of Toronto for ten dollars an hour and Raffi and

661
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 3: his friend who is like this guy, this sweet Canadian

662
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: like justa like this guy Ken Whiteley is like just

663
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: a sweet Canadian man any instrument, and this sounds like

664
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: a real bro Like he's just fucking rinse in it. Dude.

665
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: You give Ken a washboard and he's like And so

666
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 3: RAFFI got this really good guy in Ken Whiteley, who's

667
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 3: an amazing musician, and the Lenois Brothers who were like

668
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 3: recording in a basement with like you know, the egg

669
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 3: crates and all that stuff. And if you listen to

670
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: those first four albums, you're like, this is recorded so well,

671
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: like it's really crazy. And then when I found that out,

672
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm not insane, Like I'm not like because

673
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 3: a lot of it. I was like, there's red ribbon

674
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: that I'm just attaching everywhere and I'm like, Raffy this

675
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: and this, and I'm like, oh, no, wonder it sounds good.

676
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 3: This like genius produced it and it sounds amazing.

677
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: I thought that guy was from New Orleans, Daniel Lennoi.

678
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: I don't maybe it's just because his name has a

679
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: frenchness to it. I just assumed, yeah, that sounds like it.

680
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a Canadian kid that just was part of

681
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 3: the folks scene in Toronto that randomly knew Raffi's friend

682
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: it was a friend of a friend of Raffi's and

683
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 3: he's like, sure, I'll record it, and they just were

684
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: grown men being like okay, let's take it again, Ken

685
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 3: and he's like okay, just like playing the fucking kazoo

686
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: in their twenties, but like killing it. And then Raffi

687
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: also had like he had a girlfriend at the time

688
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 3: that became his wife who was like a kindergarten teacher,

689
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: and they had friends that are kindergarten teachers, and so

690
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: they all kind of informed like him on like this

691
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: is what kids like, this is like, this is all

692
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: this stuff. And so Raffi was just very thoughtful about

693
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 3: making music for kids, and so he decided like kids

694
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 3: should be able to listen to good music, and it

695
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: should be music that parents don't want to kill themselves about, yeah,

696
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 3: because you know, most kids' music is just really irritating,

697
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: and so he just like let that be his guide

698
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 3: and be like, I want to make nice music for

699
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: kids and their parents. And that's like what he did.

700
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: And I think that's why we're probably making the podcast

701
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 3: is because he did such a good job of it

702
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: that like.

703
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like a monster of rock, but a

704
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 2: children's music. Yeah, so he truly was like out on

705
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: his own pre wiggles. Like I think there's probably a

706
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: whole generation of people listening to this who were just like,

707
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: I don't know who Raffi is, but like Raffi was

708
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: kind of like and he wasn't no one's ever. I've

709
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 2: never heard anyone be mean about Raffi, but he was

710
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: kind of a reference joke because he was so famous

711
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: as a children's music a children's musician.

712
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I told like the Simpsons based a character after

713
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 3: him named Rufi, you know, like he but he was

714
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: like part of I guess the cultural zeitgeist is probably

715
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: because of Baby Beluga. It was like such a big hit.

716
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 3: But like he he was just like no, no, like

717
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: my we I called up my father in law just

718
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: to see if he had like the tape that Vow

719
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: listened to when she was a kid, and he just

720
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: like and he's like a dry Midwestern like Iowan guy,

721
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 3: and he just starts like will would be Wallaby. He

722
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: just like starts singing the songs all goofy and he

723
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: probably hasn't thought of Raffi in thirty years or something,

724
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: and he just like went right into it. It's really crazy,

725
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 3: how it's really really his music has really gotten ingrained

726
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 3: in people, and it's been I was completely new to

727
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: him because I grew up listening to mostly like you know,

728
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: grew up speaking Spanish and then maybe watching Sesame Street

729
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 3: or just listening to what my parents listened to, which

730
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: is glorious. Define. Yeah, I did not have I did

731
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 3: not know about Rafi at all. So it was really

732
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 3: cool to go like all in and now like have

733
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: like a really insane psycho knowledge of RAVI.

734
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 4: Have you finished that series or is there going to

735
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: be another season or it's it's.

736
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: Going to just be one season. The fourth one came

737
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 3: out yesterday, okay, and there's a total of ten episodes

738
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: and all the guests.

739
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 4: Have been booked because I'm just not that I'm trying

740
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 4: to book your podcast. But there's so many bands, like

741
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 4: they might be Giants or what was the punk band

742
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: that became Yo Gaba Gabba? Oh I forgot the Aqua

743
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 4: Bats Yeah, oh yeah them, Oh yeah, yeah, they're crazy

744
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: a band that I've seen in Missoula when I and

745
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: it was like, you know, we're slamming into each other

746
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 4: and they were spitting and then all of a sudden

747
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 4: you're seeing there's just a couple of recognizable guys on

748
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 4: that kid's show. But I love the people that transition,

749
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 4: uh you know, from mainstream even like pump punk rock,

750
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 4: into making music for kids.

751
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 2: I like when they do it when they have kids.

752
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: It's like them going, Okay, I was about that, and

753
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: that's fine, but I'm here's my evolution. So now I

754
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 2: want my kids to like music, and I can do it,

755
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: so why wouldn't I do it too? Like that to

756
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: me is such a lovely kind of like instead of

757
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: fighting it or like I go got to go back

758
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,919
Speaker 2: out on the road and party with my buddies or whatever,

759
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: it's like, now I'm going to do the thing that

760
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 2: my kid will like, so that it's all you know,

761
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: it's all comprehensive kind of thing. And then I think

762
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: when you enter that any kind of thing like that

763
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: with a respectful intention, not to be super Saint Christopher's

764
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: meddle about it, but I think the little kids can

765
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: sense that and feel it where it's like there were

766
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: coming at you with a song we made for you.

767
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 2: It's not like cynical, you know, Disney, where like weird

768
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: little children voices are singing it or whatever.

769
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 3: I think you're right. Kids they are super intelligent, Like

770
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: right from the moment they're born, they're just like super smart.

771
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: And so I think they have a good sense of

772
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 3: what's bullshit and what's good. And so Raffi comes from

773
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: being a legit folks singer in the mid seventies in

774
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 3: the early seventies, and he loved Pete Seeger and what

775
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 3: he Guthrie and just kind of wanted to do that

776
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: for kids. And you can hear it. You're like, oh,

777
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 3: and then you listen to his guitar and you're like,

778
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: that was nice fingerpicking, Like he's like not just like

779
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: being like not to take anything away from Elmo or

780
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: anything like that, but like it's just it's not and

781
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: sometimes he's silly and all that stuff, but it really

782
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: comes from a place of genuine respect and you can

783
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: hear it. But I should try to reach out to

784
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 3: Yogaba Gabba and some other people that have done that

785
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: just to talk about themselves and then maybe Raffi and

786
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: stuff like that, because it is cool when people pivot

787
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: like that. Even in my own career, Like I think

788
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 3: about Sonny and stuff like that, and I was like,

789
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 3: I want to do stuff that she's proud of. Yeah,

790
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 3: and I watched this documentary about Nickelodeon. I don't know

791
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 3: if you've seen it. It's on Hulu. It's about Nickelodeon

792
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 3: in the nineties.

793
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 4: I forgot to start watching that.

794
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: It's really it's really nice, and I was like, it

795
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 3: would be so cool before I'd be like kids Stevie

796
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 3: Disney Channel or something. Though, it'd be so cool to

797
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: work on a show that Sonny loved or like all

798
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: their friends loved and stuff like that. That was just like,

799
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 3: you know, because really funny and talent people work on those,

800
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: Like Oh, I would be so cool to write on

801
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 3: the salute your shorts. You can't do that on television

802
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: her generation and not just do whatever comedy, do something

803
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 3: cool for kids. Yeah, totally, I am with you.

804
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to have a kid's show, whether it's

805
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 4: teaching art or just letting them tell stories. There's there's

806
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 4: this Instagram account that I'm addicted to. It's my favorite

807
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 4: thing where this guy's just in New York. It's usually

812
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: like we were saying, I can't put my finger on

813
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 4: why all these kids like this guy. He's young, he's

814
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: like in his twenties, but he's so good with kids.

00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: it up. Yeah, and you guys just talk amongst yourself.

818
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: I did job ever in comedy was when I I

819
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 3: was going to Berkeley at the time, and I took

820
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: my first improv class and you know, at the end

821
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 3: of it, it was like through the community theater in Albany,

822
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: just north of Berkeley, and it was like mostly adults

823
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: taking improv at a community center and we did the

824
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 3: like the graduation show, and there was this woman who

825
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 3: was the head of the Science Discovery Theater, which was

826
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 3: like the Science theater at Lawrence Alloscience, which is like

827
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 3: Berkeley's science museum. Yeah, and she was like, do you

828
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 3: want a job doing improv for kids and like writing

829
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: plays and stuff? And I was like absolutely yeah. And

830
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: so I didn't tell her that I hadn't graduated college

831
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: because I was like, fuck college, I'm gonna go. I'm

832
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 3: gonna go make big bucks doing children's improv. And so

833
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 3: my first job ever was doing I went back to

834
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: college and stuff, but like I did about the human

835
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 3: brain and anatomy, and we like traveled to schools and

836
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 3: it was like K through eight and stuff. And then

837
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: I also like wrote and acted and plays like Ocean

838
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 3: Powers Marine Men of Mystery, which is based on Austin Powers,

839
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: and then it was about overfishing and plankton, and then

840
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: Trash Bridges Garbage Detective, which was based on Nash Bridges.

841
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: This was the late early two thousands and that one

842
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: came out and I came out in like a detective

843
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: outfit and I had a recycled like A had a

844
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 3: snake that was my friend that was made out of

845
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 3: recycled paper. And I'd come out with comforty bogrin and

846
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 3: be like Shamfreys a big city with a big problem garbage,

847
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 3: and then my kidd be like and it was really

848
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 3: a silly job, and uh, but it was so fun

849
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 3: and so sweet to get kids to like trick them

850
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: into loving science and thinking about recycling and stuff. And

851
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 3: eventually was like, oh you gotta do stand I gotta

852
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 3: drop this and do stand up. But like it was

853
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: really cool, Like it was very satisfying to do silly

854
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 3: you know, silly comedy performances for kids.

855
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 2: Well, and you I don't. I think they're the just

856
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: like you're saying, they're super intelligent and they know they

857
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: have great bullshit meters. So that's a tough crowd. You Like,

858
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: they're not just going to go with whatever, and if

859
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: they feel uncomfortable, they can't go with you. So you

860
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: basically taught yourself like crowd work to the nth degree

861
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: by doing it with kids like that.

862
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because it's really hard. It's like a whole auditorium.

863
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes it could be a whole school, so it was

864
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 3: like it could be like two hundred and fifty kids

865
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: or something. And then I'd ask some sort of open

866
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 3: ended question, like I was teaching them about the brains,

867
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: which is the part of your brain that reminds you

868
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 3: to breathe and have your heartbeat so you don't have

869
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: to think about it, and so I asked him. I

870
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 3: was like, what's something you have to do every second

871
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: of every day to stay alive? And this kid just

872
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 3: stood up on his chair and was like pray to Jesus. Okay,

873
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 3: I shouldn't open that. I should ask more specific maybe

874
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 3: yes or no questions. I think that would be easier.

875
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then those kids, I mean, they're they're

876
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 3: kind of wild. So if you watch like a RAFFI

877
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 3: to bring it back to RAFFI, if you watch a

878
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 3: video of his, he'll be at like Radio City Music

879
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: Hall and there'd be all sorts of kids and you

880
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: could hear a pin drop like it's wild. I don't

881
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: know how he does it.

882
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 4: It's incredible, the idea of performing for kids, especially as

883
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 4: a comic who's mostly told dick jokes. I'm not and

884
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 4: I am talking about myself. There's a festival in Calgary

885
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 4: where the guy I don't do it any more, but

886
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 4: they he would. There was a lot of midday shows

887
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 4: like he was willing to. One of the shows was

888
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 4: in a literally a moving trolley and you tell jokes

889
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 4: to people walking on this promenade. But one of them

890
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 4: was a kids party in an old spaghetti factory and

891
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 4: I no one wanted to do it, and I didn't.

892
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 4: I don't think I wanted to do it either, but

893
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 4: it ended up being one of the funniest shows I've

894
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 4: ever done. In the end, I just it just it

895
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 4: turned into me, like, who wants me to eat this?

896
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 4: In there it was a plate, Put whatever you want

897
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 4: on this plate, and they put salad and mustard and

898
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 4: and like pizza crust on it, and I would eat it.

899
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 4: And they were all cheering, but I've never they were,

900
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 4: so I had their attention. And also I realized I

901
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 4: have a bunch of jokes that are for kids, like

902
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: any pun type joke that has always you know, made

903
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 4: other comics roll their eyes, especially when I first started.

904
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: These kids loved it, and I've always loved the idea

905
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: I want to do, even if it's adults stand up.

906
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: I want to do a show for a theater filled

907
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 4: with just kids, maybe their parents too, so it's not

908
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 4: kind of weird or illegal or whatever. But I think, yeah,

909
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: I think depending on what you do, they they can

910
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 4: be even more captive. Uh not captive captivated, thank you. Yeah,

911
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I want to keep them in a

912
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 4: pen during an INTERMA.

913
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: How you're telling us the plan of you kidnapping to

914
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,160

Speaker 4: them hope through comedy that when they all let them out.

917
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: Where do you have space like this?

918
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 4: It's it's a it's a it's a warehouse downtown.

00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 4: It's gonna work. It's gonna be great.

923
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 2: My sister is a is a grammar school teacher for

924
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 2: she has been for like the over thirty years. She's

925
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: really good at it. She's really good at it. But

926
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 2: one time I went to her classroom to go, like

927
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: because I was driving up from La so I just

928
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 2: went straight to her school or whatever. And I walked

929
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 2: in and they were like. My sister goes, Okay, look

930
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 2: at that. Who do you think this is? And three

931
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 2: of the kids go and they were like first graders,

932
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: They go, Madna, why no what? It was just like

933
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: I was exotic because I came into the room as

934
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: a surprise or something. It was just hilarious. But I know,

935
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: I love, I love, Like We've talked about this, but

936
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 2: my favorite is like little kids that get the attention

937
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 2: that they want, you know, like get when adults are

938
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 2: smart enough to know that if you can have a

939
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: great conversation with a kid, if you just like the

940
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: most irritating thing to me off like current parenting habits

941
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 2: is when you're trying to talk to someone's kid and

942
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: they interrupt an answer for the kid, like you're they're

943
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: the fucking publicist, or I'm like, I'm not talking to you.

944
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't give a shit, Like I don't want to

945
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 2: hear your version of when you guys went to Disneyland.

946
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: I want to hear their version of it, like what

947
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 2: are you doing?

948
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: Why?

949
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: Why would you answer for your And then they get

950
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 2: all like, you know, detached and like screeny and.

951
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 4: What yeah, yeah, the same thing. But it's usually and

952
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding, it sounds like a I do even

953
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 4: on an airplane, if a kid's playing peekaboo or whatever,

954
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 4: I will engage with that kid and and the parents

955
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 4: always like who are you even looking at? Stop looking

956
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 4: at him? Kayleb or whatever. It's like, fuck you, I'm

957
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: not I'm no interest in playing peekaboo with you, sir.

958
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: You're my age, I think between and if you want

959
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: to do that, then you can't have that mustache.

960
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't it weird. It's like it's I think, yeah,

961
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: you're probably right.

962
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean.

963
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm also usually wearing clown makeup.

964
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 2: I just mustache.

965
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 3: That's a no no conover.

966
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, that white on the hair, Yeah, I just know

967
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 4: I put it on. So adults don't talk to me

968
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 4: on airplanes. But but I'll talk to the kids any

969
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 4: any day.

970
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 2: Well, that's awesome. That podcast truly sounds great. It's such

971
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 2: a great idea.

972
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.

974
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: really and it's really like whole it just feels like

975
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 3: a nice time to talk to them about nice things

976
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 3: and just kind of remember that we should all be

977
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 3: respectful for each other. That's like at the core of it.

978
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 3: And it's just it just for me, it's felt nice

979
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 3: on a personal level just to kind of think about

980
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 3: these things and.

981
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's it's high time. It's it's really it's

00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,200

993
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 4: No therapy.

994
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: That's that's our great producer, Casey O'Brien in the chat

Speaker 2: helping you out. We were just I just noticed that

996
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: there was a chat message and I figured there. He

997
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: must have looked it up.

998
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 4: Yes, it is, Thank you, Casey. That's good detective work.

1001
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes there will be a kid that's a

1002
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 4: little unhinged, and I, you know, you get a little nervous,

1003
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 4: but it's in a kind of you just worry about

1004
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 4: his future, is all. But but yeah, he's it's it

1005
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,919
Speaker 4: would be such a fun gig. And I didn't know

1006
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 4: that I wanted to do that, but I'm just gonna

1007
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 4: steal his idea.

1008
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 2: You're you'd be good at it. I think you'd be

1009
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 2: very good at it.

1010
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 4: I've gotten messages from people that have said, have you

1011
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 4: thought about doing this. I don't know what it is

1012
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 4: about me, but you're right. I just got a shave

1013
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 4: and get out there wasting what I have. My talent's

1014
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 4: on an airplane. It's true to go tell jokes to

1015
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 4: drunk adults. I'm tired of it. Sober children. That's the

1016
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 4: future comedy.

1017
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: Chris CHURSSI, do you have any other plugs or any

1018
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 2: stuff you need to talk about? You know, while you're

1019
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: my lord?

1020
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 4: The time flew by?

1021
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: I know best I went.

1022
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 3: I can't believe it's been an hour. No, you know,

1023
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 3: just finding RAFFI, I think that would be great. I

1024
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 3: have some dates coming up on the road that I'm

1025
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: pretty excited about's probably find out about him on my Instagram,

1026
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 3: which is rad Tuna.

1027
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah that's its handle. It is right, it really is. Yeah,

1028
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 4: And do listen to his previous series called Scattered, which

1029
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 4: I haven't yet, but I'm telling myself, this is me

1030
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 4: talking to myself.

1031
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like and you know, I was on it,

1032
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 2: so I don't feel like I have to feel bad

1033
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 2: about this. But it's very difficult for people who have

1034
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: I think you have to be at a very certain

1035
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 2: point in your Alzheimer's, in your family journey to listen

1036
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: to other people talk about theirs because it's really hard.

1037
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 2: And when I was on Chris's show, we were crying

1038
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 2: within like five minutes. It felt like it was one

1039
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 2: of those things where it's like you can talk about

1040
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 2: it to a point, but it really is. I mean,

1041
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: that's I believe that podcast won awards, didn't it, Chris.

1042
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 3: It was like when it came out, it was a

1043
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 3: popular when like Time magazine called it like one of

1044
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 3: the best podcasts of the year, and a bunch of

1045
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 3: people like that. I got a lot of thank you.

1046
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 3: But it is if you're in a space like a

1047
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very heartfelt, sweet and there's really funny moments.

1048
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: But like I think there was who's the old guy

1049
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 3: who played Hannibal Lecter Anthony Hopkins. Anthony Hopkins had a

1050
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 3: Dimension movie recently and I was like, I'm sure it's great.

1051
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't watch it yet, you know, like

1052
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: I'm not ready for it. Some things I can, but

1053
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 3: with that, I'm like, I don't need to. It's been

1054
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: five years now, and I'm like, I don't know it.

1055
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: I'll ever do.

1056
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 4: I know for real, you never know when something's gonna

1057
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 4: get you like whatever. Planet of the Apes movie where

1058
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 4: James Franco's dad is played by John Lithgow, and that's

1059
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 4: what he's researching and trying to come up with that

1060
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 4: makes all those primates go crazy is Alzheimer's treatment. And

1061
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 4: I was crying. I was the only one in the

1062
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 4: theater crying. Yes, I went to a theater to watch

1063
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 4: Plenty of the Apes, Kelly, but John, they nailed that

1064
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 4: part of it and it was very realistic, and I, yeah,

1065
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 4: I was just sobbing openly. You never know when you're

1066
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 4: gonna cry.

1067
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: I was tricked into going to see The Notebook in

1068
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 2: the theater and I did not know what it was about.

1069
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 2: I just thought it was like a rom com and

1070
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I love Ryan Gosling. This will be great.

1071
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 2: And by the end of the fucking movie, because it

1072
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: actually kind of like the way it's set up, you

1073
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: don't I didn't see it coming. I was kind of

1074
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 2: distracted whatever, And when I finally understood what the fuck

1075
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 2: was happening, I couldn't stop crying. And when like truly

1076
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 2: the lights came up in the theater and I was

1077
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 2: just sitting with my X, like sitting there sobbing into

1078
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 2: my hands, and I was so embarrassed because it was

1079
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: also I was in it. It was my mom was

1080
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 2: still alive, so it was like really bad. It was

1081
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 2: very bad. Yeah. But then when I finally got myself

1082
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 2: together just to get up and leave, I looked behind me.

1083
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: It was at the arc light and there were like

1084
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 2: pockets of people doing the exact same thing. So then

1085
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: I was like, oh shit, this happens to so many people,

1086
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 2: and like this is so fucking awful. But yeah, I

1087
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: think I'm so mad at the marketing of that movie

1088
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: because it was just like, yeah, there's a little there's

1089
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 2: a easter egg in here that you're not gonna see coming,

1090
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: and if you're at a bad spot, yeah, like it's

1091
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: going to knock you on your ass.

1092
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,160
