Speaker 4: like six shows, I drew that blank. I got hit
Speaker 4: with an invisible laser today and it's been messing up things.
Speaker 4: I couldn't remember his name in that moment, and I
Speaker 4: panicked and I just doubled over, feigning abdominal pain.
Speaker 1: Oh did it get you out of it?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: It works.

Speaker 4: of clunky. Ian Ian's got the juice.
Speaker 1: Ian zero allan Alex has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 4: in Glendale, the Americana.
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, what do.
Speaker 4: You plan on doing at the Americana?
Speaker 3: I'm going to see a movie and i'max.

Speaker 1: Do you want to talk about it?
Speaker 3: Sure? I mean, I'm not I have no I don't
Speaker 3: know why I'm saying. I have no affiliation with them.
Speaker 3: I'm just going to see a movie.
Speaker 4: You're not.
Speaker 3: I was invited to go see no, I it's the
Speaker 3: new Apes movie, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Speaker 3: Who uh, that's that's that's that's gosh. I guess they
Speaker 3: might have me rooting for humans in this one. Really yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think that they've the Apes
Speaker 3: of fully My understanding is the Apes of fully taking
Speaker 3: control of the planet fitness or whatever that they're they're
Speaker 3: you know, they've broken into and.
Speaker 1: They take over a gym.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got they became the gym.
Speaker 1: Rats, just of this one location.
Speaker 3: Not the franchise, No, no, not, Oh my gosh, that
Speaker 3: would be what a budget.
Speaker 1: I mean, the headsets.
Speaker 4: I had no interest in, uh, any Planet of the
Speaker 4: Apes movie because after Heston, why bother? You know, uh,
Speaker 4: such an impressive man.
Speaker 3: But on every level, I love every every thing he
Speaker 3: fought for. Yeah that in the movies, in in life.
Speaker 4: Love killing that little clip where that we're getting used
Speaker 4: to promote I hope you know we But I randomly
Speaker 4: watched the other night The Rise, the last one where
Speaker 4: they are fully like yelling and talking. I don't know
Speaker 4: if that it's been a thing, and then you watched
Speaker 4: it last night, just the other night, three nights ago,
Speaker 4: and I'm I was so into it. I got so emotional.
Speaker 4: I'm like, this is one of the better movies I've seen.
Speaker 4: Oh and I one hundred percent wanted to also see
Speaker 4: this film. They're good. Yeah, I No one told me.
Speaker 3: My friend Mookie who invited me. He's a big he's
Speaker 3: a big eight Movies proponent. He's he's always been the
Speaker 3: guys like these are good and so you know, when
Speaker 3: someone really stands up for move for like a franchise
Speaker 3: or whatever, and so yeah, I mean every time one
Speaker 3: comes out, we generally go see the whatever the eight
Speaker 3: movie is with Mookie.
Speaker 4: Mookie Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've not seen him in uh
Speaker 4: longer than I've not seen you twelve years fifteen, Oh
Speaker 4: my gosh. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now wait, so Chris, we did, like I think probably
Speaker 3: what would you call it? Was that like a pilot
Speaker 3: presentation he did. It was and I that was my
Speaker 3: first I mean, that was my first time meeting you.
Speaker 3: I believe it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had not met. It was a pilot presentation
Speaker 4: based on my experience with a skate shop in Missoula,
Speaker 4: Montana that to deal with like the there was a
Speaker 4: dip in the popularity of skateboarding and the shop started
Speaker 4: selling Frisbees for Frisbee golf, kayaks, rollerblades. It became like
Speaker 4: this general action sports thing. They were trying to make money.
Speaker 4: I understood, but I was upset because I wanted it
Speaker 4: to be a core skate shop and that wasn't how
Speaker 4: we pitched it. We're like, it'll be great to have
Speaker 4: comedians on improvising. You were on it. Johnny Pemberton was
Speaker 4: great on it, and Matt Fultron and I really like
Speaker 4: the finished thing. I don't know if you ever saw it.
Speaker 4: I don't think I did, but I would like to
Speaker 4: show it to you should. But you have a great
Speaker 4: part in it where I I said we had some
Speaker 4: used video. Asked about a specific skate video.
Speaker 3: Like a shopper or something. Yeah, yeah, and I.
Speaker 4: Said, we have one that's opened, but it's been you know,
Speaker 4: it's been watched. And then you said how many people
Speaker 4: have watched it? I'm like, I don't know. I'd like
Speaker 4: to do an inventory. It was just a funny choice
Speaker 4: because you are an improv actor and it really stood
Speaker 4: out at this understated moment was like really a standout moment.
Speaker 1: You were great in it, living hell to be on
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Well, you can tell there was a lot of pressure
Speaker 3: on Chris. You really wanted to work and it was
Speaker 3: really coming out of this character. I think you really
Speaker 3: channeled it and you're frustrated. Yeah, grumpy clerk, yes, manager role,
Speaker 3: you know, that is not at all that was. That
Speaker 3: was your choice, and that was a great choice because
Speaker 3: that was that's a fun such a fun character to
Speaker 3: be the purest the skate purist.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was really fun, and we thought
Speaker 4: it was a way to have guest athletes on and
Speaker 4: have them read a line, you know, or act in it.
Speaker 4: I really fought for that to be on the network
Speaker 4: because Fuel TV was all action sports and they had
Speaker 4: a bunch of comedy like animated things. But I really
Speaker 4: wanted to do a live action, scripted thing, and I
Speaker 4: fought for it. I would be in meetings like we
Speaker 4: got to do Skate Shop, the TV show starring Alan McCloud,
Speaker 4: and they didn't they didn't listen to me.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, maybe there's like a spin off or something.
Speaker 2: Maybe I should pitch it to more of like an
Speaker 2: FX type of place or character based more narrative base.
Speaker 4: Yes, this was before things like Always Sunny and Philadelphia
Speaker 4: were happening or maybe at the start of it. M hmm,
Speaker 4: and it was. I really had high hopes for it.
Speaker 4: I really believed in that thing.
Speaker 2: But you were kind of trying to have a second
Speaker 2: show where this is supposed to be doing. It's so
Speaker 2: fucking confusing over here, Alan, I'm really pissed.
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, you could just pull over to the
Speaker 3: side of the road and I'd have a ball. So
Speaker 3: I'm in no hurry.
Speaker 1: It's hard. There's a lot of like hook turns and ship.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that's I like this neighborhood for all
Speaker 3: the switchbacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people can't. There's no straightaways where people can just
Speaker 1: follow you from Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, no, there's always a little something little, a little
Speaker 3: yeah to run down and get away.
Speaker 4: It's like speed hiking.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In a car, it's great. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've jumped into there were passing through the Arroyo Seco
Speaker 3: over the not through it, over it sorry, cars filling
Speaker 3: with water. Yeah, I jump over this railing to get
Speaker 3: into the This is the Arroyo Seco rip he then, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the.
Speaker 4: Old Arroyo Seco, the old Seco And much like the
Speaker 4: La River is it? Do you know it to be
Speaker 4: a naturally existing river.
Speaker 3: It once was. Yeah, it goes up more into the
Speaker 3: I guess the San Gabriel Mountains and uh, it's where
Speaker 3: it flows, you know it flows. I've been nurtured many
Speaker 3: many ancient civilizations. Yes, before it was all filled with concrete.
Speaker 3: And speaking of.
Speaker 4: History, we're about to get California's oldest.
Speaker 1: Freeware and most killings.
Speaker 3: Most dangerous. Yes, So if we need a moment of
Speaker 3: silence so you can look around this. I mean this
Speaker 3: is a neck breaker right here.
Speaker 1: This especial.
Speaker 3: You gotta have, you gotta have. I mean E. T
Speaker 3: would have a hard time turning his head to look around.
Speaker 1: That quarters so ridiculous, so dangerous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really and and it's almost like a weird competition.
Speaker 4: People drive in that right hand lane just to make
Speaker 4: it hard for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to see it's yeah you got you got to
Speaker 3: ride in the middle lane or the or the far
Speaker 3: left lane up until the last minute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've always been amazed that this exists and everyone's
Speaker 4: okay with it.
Speaker 3: I mean getting off is just as crazy, because it's
Speaker 3: just like you go from sixty to five.
Speaker 4: And yeah, no temporary lanes, no off ramps are like
Speaker 4: ten feet long and immediately hairpin turn. When I moved
Speaker 4: to Texas, which has every freeway there has killed the
Speaker 4: most people. It's just Houston Austin. They have crazy freeways.
Speaker 4: And one of the things I learned when I moved
Speaker 4: there was the guy that designed them had had off himself.
Speaker 4: I guess out of guilt.
Speaker 3: Oh no, yes, with the design.
Speaker 4: What the freeway system and I thirty five one, I remember,
Speaker 4: but they My earliest stand up was just talking about
Speaker 4: the freeways there, like what are we all thinking? You
Speaker 4: had to cross like there was two lane frontage roads,
Speaker 4: so you would have to cross an oncoming lane of
Speaker 4: traffic that had a yield sign for them to get
Speaker 4: off the freeway, so there was a potential to head
Speaker 4: on collide with someone just getting off the freeway. Like
Speaker 4: there was these walls, not vertical walls, but slightly angled
Speaker 4: so your car could drive up there and flip over,
Speaker 4: and it happened all the time. There's like these round
Speaker 4: skid marks of cars just being left spinning like turtles,
Speaker 4: and that was normal. I it was the only thing
Speaker 4: I ever got outspoken or political about. It's a freeway system,
Speaker 4: and this reminds me of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was real that.
Speaker 3: I felt like you really tapped into some deep memories there.
Speaker 3: That's you know, that's what this place does to you.
Speaker 3: After a long time, you try to pass through a
Speaker 3: little pocket and you just are flooded, flooded with memories,
Speaker 3: good and bad.
Speaker 4: Trauma based memories, bad ones.
Speaker 3: Where are you from originally Alabama?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I grew up mostly in Mobile, Alabama.
Speaker 4: You say mobile a lot of people mobile? Yeah, corrected me,
Speaker 4: it's mobile.
Speaker 3: Mobile.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds right. That's what I had hanging over
Speaker 4: my crib.
Speaker 1: And the person that's from there saying it's right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So these guys mobile, they oh, maybe it was mobile.
Speaker 3: I've heard people say mobile, but right, I've always said mobile.
Speaker 4: Well that you I believe you. These guys are just
Speaker 4: so what does the governor say?
Speaker 3: Yes, oh my god, the governor of Alabama? K Ivy, Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but she would. You know what, there's
Speaker 3: several videos of her, k Ivy if you look up, gosh,
Speaker 3: there's at least there's got to be at least two
Speaker 3: videos of her doing a press conference. She's she's kind
Speaker 3: of this this very stereotypical or prototypical like old southern
Speaker 3: lady who just has the most insane, cartoonish Southern accent
Speaker 3: you've ever heard. But when she she's done like public
Speaker 3: speeches where she'll be in the middle of saying something
Speaker 3: about Alabama and then she just belches the loudest burp
Speaker 3: right into the microphone but does not acknowledge it and
Speaker 3: keeps on going, and no one says anything, and she
Speaker 3: just it's like a deep, guttural burp. No, And it's
Speaker 3: the most insane, hilarious thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Are there YouTube compilations, I'm hoping.
Speaker 3: If they're. I mean, I'm I'm trying to learn how
Speaker 3: to do imovies.
Speaker 4: So I yeah, if I could just give you an
Speaker 4: afternoon project, please assemble these moments.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's like do you think she's truly unaware?
Speaker 2: Do you think because that I used to do that
Speaker 2: when I would drink a lot of diet coke, where
Speaker 2: like for you, you don't really see it.
Speaker 3: At all, unconscious reaction.
Speaker 1: I like speaking that way.
Speaker 3: I think when you are a certain age, maybe because
Speaker 3: like I do it now, like a burple just fly
Speaker 3: out of me at the even at the dinner table. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it takes me a second ago. Oh gosh, oh, sorry,
Speaker 3: excuse me. And because I don't even notice it, so
Speaker 3: I would imagine if I'm, you know, twice my age,
Speaker 3: it's just gonna be I'm just gonna be letting it fly.
Speaker 1: And then she says, she doesn't go yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, there's no acknowledgement of it.
Speaker 4: That is almost what makes me appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I know, I do. That's the thing that's probably the one,
Speaker 3: maybe the one thing I like about her.
Speaker 4: Right after that, it kind of goes downhill. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 4: I love I need to look that up. I love
Speaker 4: the improbability of certain comics to tell their rowdy stand
Speaker 4: up material and at the end just just punctuate it
Speaker 4: with a burp. I've seen that a few times and
Speaker 4: it has made me laugh. And it shouldn't. Like many
Speaker 4: Jerry Lewis moments, I can't control what makes me look.
Speaker 1: You can't. You shouldn't apologize.
Speaker 4: It's not a lot with Texas comics.
Speaker 1: They just sorry. So it's like a story about partying
Speaker 1: and then or getting mad.
Speaker 4: It's a heckler. I grew up with heckling was a norm,
Speaker 4: and it's becoming one. So I got gig Or burp's ready.
Speaker 4: But I many comics would get into an antagonizing an
Speaker 4: argument with an audience person and then burp at the end.
Speaker 4: And I know I'm thinking of someone specific, but I
Speaker 4: can't remember. Maybe it was Dug Stanope, I don't I literally.
Speaker 1: Was gonna guess.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I swear to god, Yeah, he could fire off
Speaker 4: a burp if it's comedically timed.
Speaker 3: I remember seeing an improv show years and years ago
Speaker 3: that the actor Brendan Hunt was in Who's a friend
Speaker 3: of mine? I don't know if he's on ted Lasso
Speaker 3: Coach Beard. Oh sure, sure, Yeah, he was in the
Speaker 3: show and I was watching it, and I can't remember
Speaker 3: the context of the scene, and of course I can't
Speaker 3: remember like why, I'm sure, But anyway, for some reason,
Speaker 3: he was basically I think he was basically like coaxed
Speaker 3: or coursed or pimped as you might say, into farting
Speaker 3: on stage, and instead of doing like a mouth fart
Speaker 3: or something in character or whatever, he immediately was able
Speaker 3: to harness a real fart and just kick it out. Well,
Speaker 3: he kicked it out right right on stage and it
Speaker 3: was just the monies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a dangerous road, I mean usually it was
Speaker 4: completely appropriate. Yeah, yeah, I envy that too. I mean
Speaker 4: a burp gone south. You're not going to just stop
Speaker 4: throwing it start throwing up, but that trick can go
Speaker 4: south if you force it. Oh yeah, it's impressive when
Speaker 4: someone else that kind of control.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to really know yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it shrink drilla kegles and things.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well his pants were full of ship, right,
Speaker 3: so we forgive. You know, the audience was very forgiving.
Speaker 4: The audience.
Speaker 1: Are you this was pre lasso?
Speaker 4: Yeah that's yeah. You used to be able to get
Speaker 4: away with that stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah we've been canceled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, everything's thought in se Are you still doing
Speaker 4: things that UCB and live performance and improv like a
Speaker 4: little bit here and there?
Speaker 3: Not a ton like I don't have like a I
Speaker 3: don't have like a group like you need like a
Speaker 3: like a crew, And I haven't really like my you know,
Speaker 3: I was on several what they call Harald teams THECB
Speaker 3: for many years and sitting in on shows, and that's
Speaker 3: what I occasionally do now, is sitting on the odd show.
Speaker 1: But why do you think you don't have a group anymore?
Speaker 1: Let's get real.
Speaker 3: A plane crash they all know, well, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean these things like they have. You know, I'd say
Speaker 3: I never got on one that got promoted, like after
Speaker 3: a year or whatever. They would always get I kept
Speaker 3: popping onto groups the teams that didn't get promoted to
Speaker 3: like regular shows, right, And so I feel like most
Speaker 3: of those teams that got promoted are still together, weirdly,
Speaker 3: because that's how much everybody loves, you know, doingccess those
Speaker 3: success So yeah, no, I I I'm not so, I'm
Speaker 3: not opposed. I I do occasionally do shows. It's really
Speaker 3: up to me to like just start reaching out and
Speaker 3: going want to.
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 4: I mean that's my problem. I don't ask.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can also do you know, I mean you're
Speaker 3: you know, you do stand up and you can hang
Speaker 3: in there alone, which is right wild to me. Every
Speaker 3: time I try to do an open mic, it's just
Speaker 3: the most humbling thing I've ever done. It keeps me grounded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to skip open mics and goes straight
Speaker 2: to middling. It's much easier to open micsert garbage. But
Speaker 2: also I wonder if you could call up oh not
Speaker 2: stay in my land. You could call ups young people
Speaker 2: and pitch them you're building an improv group around yourself
Speaker 2: and you call it the albatross, and then it's like
Speaker 2: I could be the reason that you don't move forward
Speaker 2: in impact.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done it for others.
Speaker 4: Yeah, always ragtag groups.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want someone to blame for dragging you down,
Speaker 3: then you found the right guy.
Speaker 1: I like that I'm being this casually insulting to you.
Speaker 3: And I don't know you at all, but you can
Speaker 3: just tell I have that dark cloud over it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, it's just one of those things where I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, it really is like if I anybody that's
Speaker 3: that's not the only it's not like the only teams
Speaker 3: that are doing shows at UCB where they graduated teams.
Speaker 3: It was just that's kind of just a reflection of
Speaker 3: how lazy I am to get off my ass and
Speaker 3: create a team, because there's probably more teams that were
Speaker 3: just self assembled and you're doing plenty of shows and
Speaker 3: I don't know, I just I kind of got burnt
Speaker 3: out on it, and I was doing it up to
Speaker 3: the pandemic and then I don't know, it just kind
Speaker 3: of just got burned out out on everything, and yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, and then UCB sort of changed Ryans and
Speaker 3: was going through a lot of stuff that there for
Speaker 3: many years. Yes, I know, yeah, you know I was
Speaker 3: doing I was doing the thing there and then yeah,
Speaker 3: it just uh, I kind of uh. I didn't fall
Speaker 3: one hundred out of the mix. But I'm I'm not
Speaker 3: performing five nights a week like I was first.
Speaker 4: And that's okay.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like I I do still you know,
Speaker 3: have the educationally to do it. But also I fall
Speaker 3: asleep when I sit down after nine Yeah, yeah, don't
Speaker 3: even know, like that's my brain just switches off.
Speaker 1: You get your blood sugar check.
Speaker 4: I should go to a doctor, Yeah I did. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I won't go into that list. Yeah, I'm the same
Speaker 4: right now. I've been taking sort of a break from
Speaker 4: worrying about it and enjoying other things in life because
Speaker 4: I know comedy is always going to be there and
Speaker 4: I can always get back to it and get good
Speaker 4: at it again or be good at it, whichever happens.
Speaker 4: I don't know yet. That's the future.
Speaker 3: What do you mean taking a break from stand up?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just the like you said, the going up four
Speaker 4: or five times a week and those shows, Like the
Speaker 4: environment just isn't the same. So much has changed. I
Speaker 4: agree also with the wanting to sleep at night thing.
Speaker 4: That's new to me. I used to peak at night.
Speaker 4: I'm like, my brain doesn't work till like ten pm,
Speaker 4: yeah or seven pm. And yeah, I think it's okay.
Speaker 4: It'll come back whenever you want it to.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had to take a nap like before even this,
Speaker 3: so yeah, go see a movie. It's like everything requires
Speaker 3: are so much planning, yes, to accommodate my brain switching off.
Speaker 4: You're also someone with a family, and I you know,
Speaker 4: I know that that takes a lot of time, and
Speaker 4: people like me, you know, grow renegades who drive through
Speaker 4: the desert alone at night. I can't even relate. So congratulations, Yeah,
Speaker 4: like a mad Max.
Speaker 3: I have a son who's seven now, and so he's
Speaker 3: basically he's almost pretty much on his own.
Speaker 4: Your son has a famous name. Yeah, what I well,
Speaker 4: maybe he.
Speaker 1: He loving pumpkins.
Speaker 4: It's a great name, which my wife was not a
Speaker 4: fan of. We can go with a kabad, but I
Speaker 4: don't know about this pumpkin business.
Speaker 3: She was like, you push, but uh yeah, Sonny Sonny,
Speaker 3: he's got Sonny Sonny McLoud.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great name.
Speaker 3: He'll be Yeah, like a he'll be like maybe like
Speaker 3: a saxophone player, I mean.
Speaker 4: Or a private eye. Oh yeah, wait, wasn't there a show?
Speaker 4: There was a show called Not Sunny Spoon with the
Speaker 4: great Mario van Peebles. But a I will figure it out.
Speaker 4: There's a something you would know. Wasn't there a show
Speaker 4: with a McLeod something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a McLeod who's like a he's I
Speaker 3: want to say, he was kind of like a cowboy
Speaker 3: detective or yes, okay, I think it was just called McLeod,
Speaker 3: but I don't remember it was.
Speaker 4: So I've just turned that that crime solving detective indo,
Speaker 4: your sweet toddler boy. Okay, good, good to know my
Speaker 4: brain's still working. That's terrific.
Speaker 3: I'm in no hurry, by the way, if you're driving
Speaker 3: around or I don't know how this works.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wouldn't show time for this this?
Speaker 3: Oh it's not till like eight or something. Oh good?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well no, I'm all good. I'm in the
Speaker 3: neighborhood where I'm gonna meet up beforehand.
Speaker 4: But okay, cool, I've got some other stuff in the area.
Speaker 3: Go to the Apple store.
Speaker 4: Maybe you could go down computers, Yeah, and the neon Museum,
Speaker 4: the Neon Museum.
Speaker 3: You check out the old signage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've actually been meaning to do that. There are classes, yeah,
Speaker 4: Neon signs. There's an old sign that had an animated
Speaker 4: like a train with puffs of plumes of smoke coming
Speaker 4: out of it. At this the Spirit Liquor store near
Speaker 4: my old house. One day it was gone. I thought
Speaker 4: someone stole it. No, it was off to the museum.
Speaker 3: The park.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's in there, and I would really love
Speaker 4: to see it. Yeah, it was right next to the Halloway.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wow, I want to visit these old times.
Speaker 3: That's so funny. That a sign that I remember from
Speaker 3: when I lived in Echo Parks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's iconic. Yeah, I am so
Speaker 4: old as hell. It's is an old friend. I want
Speaker 4: to get into Neon. I just that's something I want
Speaker 4: to do. My dad always wanted to do paintings and
Speaker 4: then add neon lights to them, and apparently it's an
Speaker 4: expensive hobby to get into.
Speaker 3: Yeah oh yeah, oh yeah, like making me making me, Yeah,
Speaker 3: flowing a.
Speaker 4: Thin tube of glass and manipulating it.
Speaker 3: Over it seems like if it's like I don't know,
Speaker 3: it seems like dealing with mercury and a thermometer or something. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like you're dealing with some kind of what the like
Speaker 3: the the T one thousand is made out of right?
Speaker 4: Right, it's it seems like everyone your place will blow
Speaker 4: up and everyone just assume you were a cook. Math,
Speaker 4: but you were just following here dreams. Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 4: This wasn't math your last words. I thought it was.
Speaker 4: He I'm uh, I'm excited for your day, Frankly.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm I'm pumped to
Speaker 3: be here. It's uh, I don't get to I don't
Speaker 3: come over to Glendell a ton.
Speaker 1: Did you get an a ball of coke?
Speaker 4: They ball?
Speaker 3: So I got two four balls?
Speaker 1: Don't share it out? Okay, no you can.
Speaker 4: Did they do it for a lower measurements? Different balls?
Speaker 3: That's what the That's what my guy does, no question.
Speaker 3: I mean he's always in a hurry, and it's always
Speaker 3: like a whole thing.
Speaker 1: He's a little nervous. He's got that guy on the table.
Speaker 1: Just let him do what he wants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, four ball and then goes corner pocket and he
Speaker 4: puts it in your pants for you. There's certain things
Speaker 4: I would love to do as a drug dealer mostly jokes,
Speaker 4: and that that would be a big one, a bucket.
Speaker 3: A great drug dealer.
Speaker 4: I think. I thank you. I've always thought so, But
Speaker 4: there's always that you gotta get tough at some point. Well,
Speaker 4: I'm worried, that's the part I'd like. Yeah, power trip, Yeah,
Speaker 4: just feeling that and acting on that rage and having
Speaker 4: it be part of my job.
Speaker 3: I think you could do that vocally. Is instill some
Speaker 3: sort of theory?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, different?
Speaker 4: Yeah, likely, I would just be doing it in a
Speaker 4: voiceover actor kind of way.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
Speaker 2: Let's hear both of your scary drug dealers.
Speaker 4: Okay, Oh, it's funny that I gave you the drugs,
Speaker 4: but you don't seem to have the money.
Speaker 3: How was that?
Speaker 4: It's the rise tanger that I like to keep.
Speaker 3: Ok Uh, well, I sure, I'm glad you showed up
Speaker 3: to buy these drugs, but you're fifteen minutes early.
Speaker 4: I'm watching Bosh. I like the years. This amount of
Speaker 4: keeping a tight schedule.
Speaker 3: Shows.
Speaker 4: See, that's why you're an improv actor. You just brought
Speaker 4: two storylines, yep. And the specificity that you're always on
Speaker 4: your phone, You're you're very organized calendar wise, and you're
Speaker 4: obsessed with the TV show Bosh, which could lead into
Speaker 4: me talking about never missing a season of Bones. Start
Speaker 4: a troop. I'm part of your rest.
Speaker 3: Here I go. Maybe this is how it happens.
Speaker 4: What is a herald, by the way, That is a
Speaker 4: that is just long form, uh huh. You get a
Speaker 4: suggestion or a view from the audience and see where
Speaker 4: it goes.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's that's pretty much it. I mean in
Speaker 3: the in the Herald, there's like you do basically, you
Speaker 3: do some sort of an after you get the suggestion,
Speaker 3: you do an opening, some type of opening where you
Speaker 3: generate sort of potential areas that you can later pull
Speaker 3: scene ideas from, and then you do three scenes, the
Speaker 3: first beats of scenes, and then you have a group
Speaker 3: game that everybody gets involved in. And then you do
Speaker 3: three more scenes which are like the follow up, the
Speaker 3: revisiting of whatever the funny game was you were playing
Speaker 3: in the first three, and then you do another like
Speaker 3: a you know, group game. And basically it works like that.
Speaker 3: You just kind of you just kind of run through these.
Speaker 1: Beats, okay, and this is like a three day event.
Speaker 1: Just keep on doing.
Speaker 4: You're describing a festival. Yeah, and that's what's it. Okay,
Speaker 4: what's an Armando?
Speaker 3: Okay, I do that. That's that's going back. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: like I remember I only saw that at like Improv
Speaker 3: Olympic when I first moved out here. I think it's
Speaker 3: essentially the same thing. I feel, right, because I feel
Speaker 3: like that's like Armando whatever his last name is was
Speaker 3: he he was like an improv guy who kind of
Speaker 3: started his own thing and then but he was basically
Speaker 3: doing the same format as somebody else. You know, it's
Speaker 3: just some old improv beats, right, Yeah, maybe it was
Speaker 3: something like that. Gosh, I forget what the drama there?
Speaker 4: So then what is ass asscat? Where that's my I'm
Speaker 4: just lee to where I can talk about my involvement
Speaker 4: as a monology that just.
Speaker 3: A little bit more of like anything goes kind of
Speaker 3: like okay, doing montages of scenes and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So you're you're you're definitely having callbacks and you might
Speaker 3: you know, and you might race through like you know,
Speaker 3: second and third beats like right, but you're not trying
Speaker 3: to do like a larger overarching right.
Speaker 4: For me, I guess I've always really enjoyed, well, it's
Speaker 4: kind of self indulgent to be on stage. I would
Speaker 4: tell stories that maybe had some jokes, which I think
Speaker 4: the improv group are there like, don't do your jokes,
Speaker 4: we will we want to have jokes to go to
Speaker 4: uh because sometimes I would take the obvious thing, so
Speaker 4: I was bad at it, but it was so fun
Speaker 4: to watch them play things out and be right about
Speaker 4: details that I didn't share and guessing what had happened,
Speaker 4: and then having moments from my life. I think that's
Speaker 4: what they asked for, is like stories about your life. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Times I did it, and it was so fun to
Speaker 4: watch that, and you just sit there as they act
Speaker 4: these things out. I never or maybe I was supposed
Speaker 4: to jump in at some point, but I didn't. I
Speaker 4: just laughed so hard because they're basically being my mom
Speaker 4: in the eighties.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: It was it was so fun to watch.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, typically yeah no, I think you can just
Speaker 3: hang back and and enjoy man, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: soak in that improv.
Speaker 4: It's weird though, to be on stage, like it's a
Speaker 4: show at the Apollo or something. They're they're talking about
Speaker 4: you and the audience is looking at you sitting there
Speaker 4: and please stop looking at me, so that won't make
Speaker 4: me laugh at anything.
Speaker 1: The other thing, can you.
Speaker 5: See the car behind us with the light on its
Speaker 5: Is that a policeman or is it a mobile miner?
Speaker 5: There's a little mining hat on top of that car.
Speaker 5: It's pass that's one case lamp.
Speaker 3: Maybe he doesn't know that his little light is on.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's got sort of a little mini flood light.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's gonna go mudding later, right right.
Speaker 3: But it's the tiniest little it's just one inch bigger
Speaker 3: than a smart car.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: I believe that's a day wound. I mean he's got
Speaker 3: a he's fully got a bed in the back and everything.
Speaker 3: He goes camping in that sucker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or he has some sort of there's some vibe
Speaker 4: about that car that like is an amateur storm chaser
Speaker 4: or his hobby is finding bodies in the l a
Speaker 4: river or something. There's like some makeshift. I would love
Speaker 4: to chew that person's brain. But unfortunately the turning into there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you'd look at that turn.
Speaker 4: That tight.
Speaker 3: That was a tight.
Speaker 1: It looks like he might think he's on patrol.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm worried about, is that he's trying to
Speaker 2: pull over teenage girls to tell them that they have to.
Speaker 1: Come with him.
Speaker 4: Oh yike, So I thought you meant citizen, like he
Speaker 4: was going to make some arrests, bad.
Speaker 1: Law kind of a yeah, well just a little bit,
Speaker 1: that's all I think of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because I was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, no, I saw the light and I was like,
Speaker 1: am I in trouble?
Speaker 4: Right? And I was like, you fool.
Speaker 1: I'd never fall for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, impersonating officers or sometimes real ones that have scary hobbies.
Speaker 4: But that's that's just a bunch of documentaries say allegedly
Speaker 4: allegedly y'all.
Speaker 3: Have y'all ever witnessed any kind of like a crazy
Speaker 3: thing like a van, you know, trying to grab somebody
Speaker 3: or anything. Oh wow?
Speaker 4: While podcasting? Yeah, yeah, that's a good question. I don't
Speaker 4: know that I've witnessed any near abductions or successful ones
Speaker 4: if you want to call them a success.
Speaker 1: If that's what you consider a success.
Speaker 4: We've there's a number of things we've seen on here,
Speaker 4: a lot of fights, a lot of people getting mad
Speaker 4: at us. Most recently, someone just stopped in the road
Speaker 4: and put their knees on the bumper of the car
Speaker 4: and would not would not leave us alone. Wow, And
Speaker 4: it was a showdown. And finally some police that happened
Speaker 4: to be driving by just removed the guy because we
Speaker 4: didn't know what to do and it was scary. It
Speaker 4: was like a very intense episode. So things like that
Speaker 4: have happened. That happened all the time. It's just we're
Speaker 4: recording and so it's uh and sometimes we try and
Speaker 4: help fireman.
Speaker 1: That's not true.
Speaker 4: We talk about it a lot. We haven't done anything yet,
Speaker 4: but we want to help solve some mysteries investigations. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to actively run into a building. I'm not
Speaker 4: Ralph Manchio, but I will like.
Speaker 3: A like a third responder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, put a little light on your roof, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what that guy was.
Speaker 2: He was Also, did you notice he was very tall
Speaker 2: and skinny ichabog crane style, yes, driving that tiny car.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He reminds me of my son.
Speaker 1: Yep. And that's what you call a Harald great, you know.
Speaker 4: But I don't like people that don't do callbacks. There's
Speaker 4: my new take. Remind me I've been here a.
Speaker 2: While, you know, Alan, what's the most recent movie you've
Speaker 2: seen in the theater before this?
Speaker 1: Apes?
Speaker 4: Movie. It's the other Apes movie. Okay, sorry, I.
Speaker 3: Went and saw Civil War or how was it?
Speaker 4: I liked it? War is a movie name the.
Speaker 3: Civil War movie? You know what I'm talking about movie?
Speaker 4: Sure, I remember the salastin Dunce so Dunce.
Speaker 3: Uh and uh, I can't remember. I can't remember anybody
Speaker 3: else's name. Yeah, yeah, it those two you've got there.
Speaker 3: It's good. It's good. I mean it's like very it's dreadful.
Speaker 3: I mean it's very like, uh, it's bleak.
Speaker 4: Do they do they have drummers in it?
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a period piece, chriss. I think
Speaker 2: it's about like some sort of wrong the title.
Speaker 3: Well, they have like a guy who walks around, marches
Speaker 3: around with a drum machine.
Speaker 4: Okay, but it's modern day yeah, okay, what but.
Speaker 3: He serves the same purpose as a little drummer boy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, helping soldiers march to the rhythm of the beat.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Back then he'll do a drop it's like a
Speaker 3: long bill's yeah, and also has control like a DJ
Speaker 3: of the lights and stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, that sounds like a great.
Speaker 2: It's the first married couple to fall into a k
Speaker 2: hole together. It's an amazing documentary the.
Speaker 4: Only way to enjoy that music. Wow, maybe I'll watch it.
Speaker 4: It's the civil war about their their unshaked their marriage.
Speaker 3: Uh like it's a sort of a civil war of
Speaker 3: the roses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wrote, Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: All of the movies gauge the reaction there.
Speaker 4: I was, Okay, there's the guy that wrote that and
Speaker 4: wrote My Cousin Vinnie and some other movies that are
Speaker 4: all about uh, couples falling apart and then fighting over money,
Speaker 4: and most of his movies dirty rotten scoundrels. He was
Speaker 4: sitting next to me on an airplane and uh, just
Speaker 4: pointing out people that he because we were all going
Speaker 4: to Aspen. I was going for a comedy festival. He's like,
Speaker 4: see that, see that guy there? Yeah, he's an asshole.
Speaker 4: He's my neighbor. He was just confiding in me to
Speaker 4: roast all these people. And he seemed like he had
Speaker 4: an edge to him, like he was angry. But I
Speaker 4: really liked him for some reason. He just was a cool,
Speaker 4: grumpy guy. Maybe I related. And then and then I
Speaker 4: asked Wade in and he's like, I wrote My Cousin
Speaker 4: Vinny and uh or the Roses.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I wrote some movies, haven't written when
Speaker 4: anything late, Like he just started talking shit about himself.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just like he was just a regular.
Speaker 4: But I'm like my cousin Vinnie, that's a that's a classic.
Speaker 3: I mean, and that would have been enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and War the Roses was very well received.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're talking about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Gosh, I pulled it right out and said it, said
Speaker 3: it out there, yeah, right into the world.
Speaker 4: It's the only reason I bring this guy up. And
Speaker 4: but then I had my show and he watched, and
Speaker 4: he sent me notes, He mailed me notes about my act.
Speaker 4: What I could what I could do better?
Speaker 3: Was he right?
Speaker 4: Uh? Probably, He's like a lot of your jokes, I
Speaker 4: didn't hear them because you were rambling or moving on
Speaker 4: to the next subject without finishing. But I like your
Speaker 4: loose style. It was all just I'm realizing now failed insults.
Speaker 3: But uh, he could have said nothing.
Speaker 2: Yes, now you realize that all those relationship movies he
Speaker 2: was writing about, he was the asshole in the situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is the I got because most of the
Speaker 4: people he's like, see that asshole over there, they were
Speaker 4: women that he had maybe dated. Sure, Yeah, and I
Speaker 4: was like, I'm uncomfortable, but please keep talking.
Speaker 1: This is sultry.
Speaker 4: Is like a riding next to episode of Dynasty, but
Speaker 4: the one that is a regret though, because at one
Speaker 4: point he said, hey, have you ever want to learn
Speaker 4: more about screenwriting or have any ideas? Like he reached
Speaker 4: out and of course that's something I would have liked
Speaker 4: to do, but like like you, Ellen, Alan, and I
Speaker 4: I was scared to ask for something. I let it go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there you go. You know, we got to
Speaker 3: get better about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta ask.
Speaker 2: Well, but may I just argue for your past self
Speaker 2: to say you kind of had the sense to not
Speaker 2: become a partner with that guy?
Speaker 1: Yes, what could happen there?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I uh, maybe his sensibilities wouldn't line up well.
Speaker 2: Also, if he does, doesn't get that your whole mumbly
Speaker 2: thing and dropping jokes and not hitting them directly is stylistic.
Speaker 4: Well, you're a mind reader, because that's what it was.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, you just insulted what I do. That's
Speaker 4: what me. Wanting to write a thing would be an
Speaker 4: extension of that unfinished sentences on paper.
Speaker 1: A lot of ellipses.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I do use I overuse those three dots.
Speaker 1: Guys, what do you think the modern animal is as
Speaker 1: a store? Do you think it's food? Do you think
Speaker 1: it's a set.
Speaker 4: I'm very worried, and I think I'm right that it's
Speaker 4: not about animals at all. It's a place for humans
Speaker 4: to eat, because if you think about it, with our
Speaker 4: cars and our body hair, we are just modern animals.
Speaker 3: We're the modern animals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is a perfect you know intro to play. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what is the setting of this one? Are they in
Speaker 4: the John Goal or are they in this city like Jason?
Speaker 3: It looks like based on the trailer, there was a
Speaker 3: sort of a glimpse of, you know, one of my
Speaker 3: favorite things, like a post apocalyptic city that nature has retaken. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just like a mossie. I mean it's kind of like
Speaker 3: what I would like and what I always admire when
Speaker 3: I in a town that's got like vertical shrubbery or whatever,
Speaker 3: like there just plants that are growing on walls. It's
Speaker 3: a thing, you know. Yeah, I love that vibe. I
Speaker 3: like when nature kind of the rewilding or something that happens.
Speaker 2: You know. Now, do you like that better or do
Speaker 2: you like drain the ocean? Better in terms of satisfying.
Speaker 2: Those are two different shows, I believe on the History Channel.
Speaker 2: One is like When the Earth takes back over or
Speaker 2: something like that, and the other one is Drain the Ocean,
Speaker 2: but they both watch cgi Have you never watched these shows?
Speaker 3: No heard about Drain the Ocean.
Speaker 1: Drain the Ocean is like for me because I of
Speaker 1: the what's the actual show called. It's called When Earth.
Speaker 2: It's almost like when We're finally gone, Like it's when
Speaker 2: Earth finally takes over and they just show you like
Speaker 2: Ivy in New York City or whatever.
Speaker 1: So satisfying. But then then the most.
Speaker 2: Recent version of that is Drained the Ocean, which is
Speaker 2: just like, here's all the shelves.
Speaker 1: Here's where all the shelves are, the.
Speaker 3: Shell, like the not like a Kia shelves, the the
Speaker 3: mantle of the earth.
Speaker 2: Yes, the underwater. Here's all the underwater I don't know,
Speaker 2: mountains or whatever that you can't.
Speaker 1: See and you will never see it.
Speaker 4: And they're computer generated with actual footage, I think fully
Speaker 4: computer Wow, yeah, I would love.
Speaker 1: That, like a dinosaur show. But just the ocean.
Speaker 3: That's neat. It's pretty cool because that's that's that's the
Speaker 3: last front that's all. That's almost the final frontier, you know,
Speaker 3: the ocean.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, yeah, we gotta figure that out. We gotta
Speaker 4: get down there.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I like to snorkel and stuff, So do you really
Speaker 3: I know a lot about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's tons of rocks down there.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Have you seen some of this out there? You
Speaker 3: just kind of poke your head down. You're not even
Speaker 3: all the way down, but you put on a snorkel. Boy,
Speaker 3: you see some ship, see some stuff. Have you seen me?
Speaker 2: There's like a manta ray drone that they're sending down
Speaker 2: to like the deepest steps.
Speaker 1: Of the ocean.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: We're about to find out what the's going on.
Speaker 4: And I think it's a new discovery. There is a
Speaker 4: shark that just looks like a puddle of moss that
Speaker 4: has an open mouth and eyes like it kind of
Speaker 4: looks like a sting ray. But and I don't know
Speaker 4: if it was just covered with liking, but it was green,
Speaker 4: and it was flat and as.
Speaker 3: A giant mouth.
Speaker 4: And I'm realizing right now it might be uh a
Speaker 4: photo chopped, But it was a type of shark that
Speaker 4: just layers on the ground and waits to eat things,
Speaker 4: and of course is in the depths down where you
Speaker 4: know where those fish with head lamps stuff that you
Speaker 4: go down in a submarine to see. Very horrifying. It's
Speaker 4: another planet, it really is.
Speaker 3: Oh there you go.
Speaker 1: She's like, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: I don't know why.
Speaker 4: I don't even know that they look alike, but that
Speaker 4: girl made me, Miss Martha Kelly.
Speaker 3: Something happened to Martha.
Speaker 4: She's fine, I mean, and by that we mean move
Speaker 4: to Torrance. Martha's been listening and comments on our podcast,
Speaker 4: Martha Martha Love Martha real wobble. Oh wow. So that
Speaker 4: hairy thing there that looks like a plant is the
Speaker 4: shark's mouth eating that traditional shark. Yeah, so imagine, uh,
Speaker 4: you're gonna want to wear flip flops that day. That's horrifying.
Speaker 1: So it kind of just like looks like a bunch
Speaker 1: of moss can eat like apex predators.
Speaker 4: The inside this bush of moss is several rows of
Speaker 4: sharp shark teeth. I mean, you would have to give
Speaker 4: caffeinated children crayons and a piece of paper to come
Speaker 4: up with half of those fish and animals.
Speaker 1: You'll see why I want so badly to drain the ocean.
Speaker 4: You want these guys on lands.
Speaker 1: I want them dead.
Speaker 3: So what is the water? Where's the ocean water drain
Speaker 3: out to? That's what I want to know.
Speaker 1: Um, I feel like these just pour pour.
Speaker 3: Into the corainus.
Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, I love it.
Speaker 4: I'm no, we haven't.
Speaker 3: No one said that appreciated.
Speaker 1: I think it's more of like.
Speaker 2: The Seven Chinese Brothers, where like the water's gone whether
Speaker 2: like however it happens, you can now look at what's
Speaker 2: down there, but it'll be back, because it's just a
Speaker 2: computer concept, right, Wow, it's not the way I'm I'm
Speaker 2: making it sound like a governmental suggestion, but that's not real.
Speaker 3: You might like, uh, glass bottom boats, taking a ride
Speaker 3: in one of those.
Speaker 4: No, I never have. That would make me nervous. I
Speaker 4: don't even like a glass bottom balcony.
Speaker 3: Oh you know those like bridges. I see videos of
Speaker 3: those glass bridges that like some kid steps on it
Speaker 3: and it does a little fake like crack in it
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is called a no way, no way worse.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't like that more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not I don't like pranks on kids. Also,
Speaker 4: it's just such a my phone thinks I do you
Speaker 4: made it think that I watch a lot of them
Speaker 4: and like them, but not actually enjoying them.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're just hitting my thumbs are big.
Speaker 4: Accidentally. Yeah, maybe I like it. There's a you know
Speaker 4: I follow One of the first things I ever followed
Speaker 4: was called kids getting hurt. They don't really get hurt.
Speaker 4: They trip over ten poles or or get scared by
Speaker 4: a cat. You know, they're not actually being injured.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're digging a deeper hole.
Speaker 4: You would love this more than you would love them
Speaker 4: first told me about it.
Speaker 3: There, I will say, there is something. There is something
Speaker 3: to seeing like a little a little kid. You know,
Speaker 3: they they have they don't have as far to fall right,
Speaker 3: So that's I don't know effected that in. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like may is a little more okay to laugh,
Speaker 3: you know when a kid trips over something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but alan to subscribe to kids getting that's different.
Speaker 4: Here's the one that pulled me in. There was like
Speaker 4: ten kids getting out of a tent and they're sweet
Speaker 4: little they're toddlers, they're ready to go camping. They had
Speaker 4: little headlamps, and each one of them tripped out coming
Speaker 4: out of not learning by watching the kid in front
Speaker 4: of them. They all spilled out of this tent like
Speaker 4: it was a clown car, and every single one of
Speaker 4: them fell and they kept falling, and I laugh so hard.
Speaker 4: We've talked about how we like watching people fall. That's
Speaker 4: not true, never once so well, we we've had entire
Speaker 4: episodes dedicated to the guy that fell with the bag
Speaker 4: of eyes still slid on. He was an adult. I'm
Speaker 4: just saying I love miniatures, and when the smaller person's
Speaker 4: a little smaller, it makes my enjoyment even more. And
Speaker 4: that includes falling footage. They don't get hurt. They don't
Speaker 4: actually get hurt. It's more about feelings. They just get scared.
Speaker 4: I'm not worse, it is. It is worse. I'm not
Speaker 4: trying to be father of the year.

Speaker 4: to be a daddy, And I feel like that shirt
Speaker 4: didn't age well.
Speaker 3: Agree, Yeah, but every time I switch.
Speaker 4: I bet it's googled. But we could buy that shirt
Speaker 4: right now, your Zaddy version. It's out there. Anything I
Speaker 4: think of, I look it up and it's on a shirt,
Speaker 4: but that's next day printers usually anything you say, hey
Speaker 4: do you like this shirt? It said you like watching
Speaker 4: kids get hurt?
Speaker 1: It said you like to hurt kids.
Speaker 4: I don't want people to know I just mentioned it
Speaker 4: on the podcast.
Speaker 3: It's it's a reference to the thing we all know
Speaker 3: we don't like that.
