Speaker 1: Wears a lot of denim, but only on her legs.
Speaker 2: Only the one pair.
Speaker 1: The only one, not the the other pair being a shirt.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's called a pair of shirts.
Speaker 6: What if I saw Jay Leno and he was wearing
Speaker 6: a shirt made of my boot cut jeans.
Speaker 1: God, I'm so glad you didn't say.
Speaker 6: Skin and you're the one that saw him, and then
Speaker 6: you had to avenge my murder because it's like a shirt.
Speaker 6: But then my face is on the back, and you're like,
Speaker 6: is that it is that an like a stitched thing
Speaker 6: of Karen's face.
Speaker 2: No, it's her actual face.
Speaker 1: When I first see it, I'm like, that skin looks familiar.
Speaker 1: And then he turns around in your face it's just
Speaker 1: part of the shirt, and I'm like, I knew it
Speaker 1: was exactly Karen's skin. White, damn right, avenge him. I
Speaker 1: might avenge him if he's not wearing I might avenge
Speaker 1: your just you as a person, whether or not he's
Speaker 1: wearing your skin. Just when I see him, I'll punch

Speaker 1: On your behest. I'll kick his beach yest. Good start.
Speaker 2: No, this is one of the strongers.
Speaker 1: It is one of the strongers. What do we have
Speaker 1: to talk about last week? I've got a lot of Twitter,
Speaker 1: not complaints, just notification, just heat and buzz, Yes, heat
Speaker 1: and buzz and accolades. But also some comments that maybe
Speaker 1: the volume was a bit low. And I think I've
Speaker 1: figured out the problem. It was an uploading problem. I
Speaker 1: had a setting was off. I think I've I'll also
Speaker 1: figure out this stitcher thing that people are listening at
Speaker 1: being on Stitcher ever since Chi Pope episode whatever. But
Speaker 1: I did find out and I guess what, Karen, We're
Speaker 1: about to have a sponsor commercial.
Speaker 2: Oh is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I was going to go into it subtly
Speaker 1: and conversationally, but why being around the But.
Speaker 2: No, I not announced the hell out of it.
Speaker 1: Downcast is a podcast player app that lets you easily find, listen,
Speaker 1: and subscribe to all your favorite podcasts on one place.
Speaker 1: Which it's cool because it you know, you can search
Speaker 1: by genre or a keyword like our names and it
Speaker 1: just comes up instantly. Or if you type in do
Speaker 1: you the first thing that comes up is a podcast
Speaker 1: called do you like Prince Movies? Which isn't us.
Speaker 2: The Great actor Prince.
Speaker 1: Or Young Ruler Young Sons of Kings?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Terry's in that one movie?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, podcasts about Prince Harry?
Speaker 2: Is he in love? Actually? Is it? Is it a
Speaker 2: podcast that's about love?
Speaker 1: Actually? Oh? I'd actually listen to that.
Speaker 2: Actually, I'd love that.
Speaker 1: I would listen to anything. Notting Hill a whole series,
Speaker 1: twelve episodes. I listen. I have seen if like if
Speaker 1: you if we that thing we just went on with
Speaker 1: you Grant if you didn't like that, with downcast, you
Speaker 1: can skip ahead with it.
Speaker 2: Don't skip through that awesome riff.
Speaker 1: Are you impatient? Are you in impatient? Assholeskip ahead a
Speaker 1: few minutes or seconds. You're able to do that with downcast. Distracted.
Speaker 1: Did you miss something your work, your boss comes in,
Speaker 1: where's the the finance report? Whatever? Get back listen to
Speaker 1: something you missed. It's just like having it on a
Speaker 1: It's harder with the other ones because you have to
Speaker 1: slide the thing that's right and you don't know where
Speaker 1: you're at, like uh with soundclad with SoundCloud and you know,
Speaker 1: I guess that's there.
Speaker 2: Anything else?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm glad you asked. It sinks podcasts across all
Speaker 1: your devices, supports audio video and enhance this podcast. That's
Speaker 1: a text from Henry Phillips. It allows you to stream
Speaker 1: or download episodes your choice. All you have to do
Speaker 1: is go to downcast, dot fm, down cast just downcast
Speaker 1: one word dot fm, slash ride forward, slash ride and
Speaker 1: then and get the downcast.
Speaker 2: Nice. That sounds good. I could use all of those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's just an easier another way to listen.
Speaker 1: So maybe that can replace things for all you stitch
Speaker 1: your people out there. Downcast sounds better, So there you go.
Speaker 6: I just think that we need our lives to be
Speaker 6: easier because everything is so.
Speaker 2: Hard all the time.
Speaker 1: As we become a more popular vehicle broadcast, I think
Speaker 1: that all will be all will be doing is telling
Speaker 1: people about things that make your lives easier. Yeah, from
Speaker 1: betting to apps to help with podcasts, to who knows
Speaker 1: dish soap? Who knows what's next?
Speaker 6: What about Gambler's Anonymous? We can start doing commercials.
Speaker 1: For that, just bettering your lives. Are you in a
Speaker 1: rut emotionally? Maybe we'll get sponsored by some kind of therapist.
Speaker 6: How about download Doctor Phil's new app and emotion show
Speaker 6: con How.
Speaker 2: About the app that helps you end bits actually say jokes.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish I had that app?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need it. I really made it.
Speaker 1: Just log onto it in the middle of a comedy concert.
Speaker 2: And it's just like Jake and the Fat ma'am.
Speaker 1: That's all you have to do.
Speaker 2: That's all you gotta do is yelling at.
Speaker 1: And end it with referencing something all family guy style,
Speaker 1: and download the app. I haven't experienced dot dot dot
Speaker 1: since that weekend with Gary Coleman.
Speaker 2: Seen on a TV and then shared.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then that plays out, and that's how you
Speaker 1: end a joke on that horrible show. Family Guy. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: family Guy. Colon. We're no Simpsons.
Speaker 2: Family Guy Colon. We're a Colon.
Speaker 1: Family Guy. Colon is where ship comes from, just like us. Wow,
Speaker 1: look at that guy's a time traveling grand that's kind
Speaker 1: of red. Yeah, it is kind of lives there. That's
Speaker 1: why it looks so cool because I thought maybe it
Speaker 1: was a flux capacitor in the truck, but it was
Speaker 1: a selection of his dried socks.
Speaker 2: And Christopher Lloyd's body.
Speaker 1: Just make me a jacket out your face, Jim from
Speaker 1: Taxi's face. He's gonna be on the back of my coat. This.
Speaker 6: We might need to start a line of coats with
Speaker 6: people's face.
Speaker 1: On the back. That would be where it's just a
Speaker 1: silicone mask of their face.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's kind of sewn in a way that
Speaker 6: looks like it's their face skin.
Speaker 2: The right eye jacket, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you're the dumbest.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: That was weird because he was looking right at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just an asshole move. He seemed like a.
Speaker 2: He was just going to kind of go on it
Speaker 2: in front of us.
Speaker 1: He was just like a bitter case. He just did
Speaker 1: a set at Flappers. He was falling out of the
Speaker 1: Flappers alley. It's like twenty five years of this ship.
Speaker 6: He's like, I reference taking the fat Man and nothing happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh my whole mister Burns giving Smithers a blowjob,
Speaker 1: got nothing that used to get standing ovation. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: move back to Canada.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, here's Kathy Ladman. You were picking up.
Speaker 1: That is her?
Speaker 2: Yep, look at her?

Speaker 2: knew what the what the sheet was about?
Speaker 5: Well, I have one shiitter, but I never bought I
Speaker 5: have a leather seat.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 5: Twelve year old cook.
Speaker 1: We knew you were in the know because a lot
Speaker 1: of people get in see the sheet and think that
Speaker 1: they're going to be murdered.
Speaker 5: Right, exactly, you've laid out a sheet. Silly, you need
Speaker 5: plastic right by the way, I'm wearing my podcast makeup. Oh,
Speaker 5: let's see, it's just a kidding, you know. You know
Speaker 5: what I was thinking about that expression, I have to
Speaker 5: put my face on. I mean, I know it's a
Speaker 5: very old expression, but isn't that the most hideous expression.
Speaker 1: We were just talking about faces being affixed to the
Speaker 1: back of jackets.
Speaker 2: That's very weird.
Speaker 5: You're talking what do you mean faces being a fixed
Speaker 5: to the back of Yeah, good question.
Speaker 1: Well, we were talking about made no sense, and you
Speaker 1: came in and brought logic and realism to the wh
Speaker 1: We were talking.
Speaker 6: About, what if you ran into Jay Leno and he's
Speaker 6: wearing a jacket it was and basically it was what
Speaker 6: if he had a jacket that had my face on
Speaker 6: the back of it.
Speaker 2: Your face, my actual and then we were joking and
Speaker 2: everything jackets it is.
Speaker 5: You wouldn't like that.
Speaker 1: That whole conversation made no sense until you got that.
Speaker 5: But I just have it. You know, I don't know
Speaker 5: if you want to get into this, but Carly Fiorina's face.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I don't know who this is. Carly Fiorina.
Speaker 2: She's running for president on the Republican.
Speaker 1: Of course, I just watched her doing the Oh.
Speaker 2: There's your coffee cafe.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you and so nice. I'm like Einstein to
Speaker 5: go into my lab right now.
Speaker 1: I knew nothing about her.
Speaker 5: You guys, I have to lay down my mic Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: she's got to make her coffee.
Speaker 6: Basically, I'll recap because you were on the road with
Speaker 6: Todd Berry.
Speaker 2: The Republican debate.
Speaker 1: Happened before the show.
Speaker 2: Oh she's the woman in the blue jack.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, standing in front of an abandoned Air Force
Speaker 1: one era.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, we're just gonna roll very gently, any see.
Speaker 5: Okay, the first without any sugar?
Speaker 2: What's that going to be?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 5: What I wish I liked? You know, if I had
Speaker 5: the depression, I would have had to live without sugar.
Speaker 2: They can go without.
Speaker 1: You'll have no sugar and you'll like it. That era
Speaker 1: this Christmas, I remember having sugarless rubarb pie.
Speaker 5: I was so.
Speaker 1: Lucky to have eight full slices of that. And if
Speaker 1: there wasn't Rubard Rubart pie, it was a salted celery pie. No,
Speaker 1: are you no? Just that's what rubarb is to me,
Speaker 1: is a salty celery.
Speaker 6: That's it sounds like you knew a recipe from the
Speaker 6: Depression of like we'd get by by eating salted celery pie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2: She brought her own whipped cream.
Speaker 1: There's a mic on top, so we're picking up.
Speaker 6: She's steaming it Taliano style.
Speaker 1: It's getting very Michael Winslowian in the back.
Speaker 2: Just so you know, Kathy, they ran out of whole milk.
Speaker 6: That's two okay, okay, I just said, give me the
Speaker 6: closest you have that's okay.
Speaker 5: Is in coffee skim milk. The taste like that is
Speaker 5: whole milk.
Speaker 1: For okay, no one ever, because I thought it just
Speaker 1: jumped from one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: That's a stick of butter that would be oh yeah,
Speaker 5: that's like bulletproof coffee.
Speaker 2: I've ever had that.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid in the Depression era, when
Speaker 1: we had a bowl of cereal, oftentimes my mother would
Speaker 1: put melted butter in there when we didn't have milk.
Speaker 2: It's very rich, but we were lucky to have We
Speaker 2: were lucky to have the gall gave.
Speaker 5: Us good for having been through the depression.
Speaker 1: Lotion mostly and butter.
Speaker 5: I used trade of Joe's lotion on my face. That's
Speaker 5: that's how I say.
Speaker 1: I don't buy it, I just do it there in
Speaker 1: the aisle. Just hang up.
Speaker 2: It was much cheaper.
Speaker 1: We uh, speaking of depression era, we met on Venice Beach.
Speaker 1: We did a show at a retirement home. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was oddly fun. It was.
Speaker 5: It was fun.
Speaker 1: It was scary, but it was right. I just remember, hey,
Speaker 1: all you beach betties.
Speaker 5: That's right. I can't even remember if I enjoyed.
Speaker 1: They were right on the beach. Yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't. My jokes weren't going to hit home
Speaker 1: with them, So I just wanted to remind them of
Speaker 1: an old lover from the fifties. I remember sarcastic Nerd Burflar.
Speaker 2: We used to he was a good man.
Speaker 1: But that I don't know whatever happened.
Speaker 5: You know, this is so I'm sorry, No, it's okay.
Speaker 5: This is a very extensive podcast. Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 5: you know, if it was in the seventies it would
Speaker 5: have been easier. But now that you mean with gas prices,
Speaker 5: gas prices, what with what they are except anywhere else? Really,
Speaker 5: this is it? This is kind of whoa This is
Speaker 5: the luck was a lid on.
Speaker 1: That my dad said he had. Maybe he didn't, but
Speaker 1: his friend had a record player in his gt O
Speaker 1: in the sixties.
Speaker 2: I've seen those.
Speaker 1: Are you seriously and you put vinyl down? Somehow it
Speaker 1: didn't skip?
Speaker 2: I think they were I didn't forty five players. I
Speaker 2: don't think it was a full record.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: And it was this weird thing that like pulled out
Speaker 2: like a drawer down here.
Speaker 6: You can find it online, pictures of it. It's hilarious.
Speaker 5: I just saw a friend of mine posted on Facebook
Speaker 5: that they now have laser players that you can use
Speaker 5: for your LPs.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, like laser disc.
Speaker 5: No, a laser will I don't know the technology, but
Speaker 5: a laser will play. You put it, you slide it in.
Speaker 5: It's a turntable, but you slide it in and maybe
Speaker 5: it doesn't turn. I don't even know, but it's it's laser.
Speaker 5: It's a laser, not a needle to.
Speaker 2: Play your old records. Though. Yes, wow, I.
Speaker 1: Know, I mean, oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Also, I bet it sounds good because everybody's going back
Speaker 6: to vinyl now, well.
Speaker 1: Who is me? And really something has to happen because
Speaker 1: CDs now are just drink coasters when it comes to
Speaker 1: trying to sell them. I just hand out my CDs
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. I'm not a great
Speaker 1: say in any way. I used to hand them out
Speaker 1: even when CDs we're.
Speaker 6: All the really, but yeah, now I don't even like
Speaker 6: the When I had my album made, it was either
Speaker 6: m P three's or.
Speaker 2: It was vinyl. There a special Thing.
Speaker 6: Records doesn't even put out CDs because nobody buys them.
Speaker 5: Anymore because everybody downloads stuff.
Speaker 6: Downloads, or people are going back to vinyl because the
Speaker 6: sound is so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for real, So I'm the physical copy is
Speaker 1: a is a Vinyl, But what most people are going
Speaker 1: to rely on is what comes along with that is
Speaker 1: a MP.
Speaker 2: Three because you usually get both.
Speaker 1: But then that's what I'll do.
Speaker 5: Really, nobody A Special Thing is not putting out.
Speaker 2: CDs anymore because they just don't sell them.
Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2: And cassettes are coming back?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh they say that might be a very hipstery thing though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not even a good idea. But I can
Speaker 1: bring back all that material I had about rewinding them
Speaker 1: with a pencil.
Speaker 2: Oh, I used to have How many minutes is that
Speaker 2: it up?
Speaker 1: I know, I know it sounds fifteen minutes sounds long
Speaker 1: for a closer.
Speaker 5: No, three hours?
Speaker 6: Is that what you're doing tonight, Kathy at the Old
Speaker 6: Flappers Bird.
Speaker 5: With five minutes? You know why because it's their birthday weekend,
Speaker 5: so they're having a bunch of people come in. Everybody,
Speaker 5: the whole audience can get in for free over the weekend,
Speaker 5: which scares me. I have to tell you, Yeah, it
Speaker 5: really does. There's a lot of riff raft going to
Speaker 5: come through that door.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 7: Oh no, oh god, once again the lid did it
Speaker 7: come on with? No, it didn't, but it did leak
Speaker 7: through odd ship that's okay. I'm so sorry to look
Speaker 7: at this car.
Speaker 1: Did that land on the sheets?
Speaker 2: Were there?
Speaker 5: I can't have the name, and I'm kind of like,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of like ud get blotting it. No, it
Speaker 5: did not get on me, but I'm blotting it.
Speaker 2: Please don't worry about that dirty dog sheet.
Speaker 5: Oh but I don't think that might have gotten into
Speaker 5: the upholstery.
Speaker 2: Then, yes, the upholstery is filled with dog.
Speaker 5: And I have to hold onto this cup like and
Speaker 5: there's also a place right here if you need to
Speaker 5: put it down.
Speaker 2: That's true, So please don't worry. But let's let's really
Speaker 2: focus on your comedy. That's what we're all right.
Speaker 5: I don't know however you want to run your show.
Speaker 5: I'll just I'm your guest. I'll be here for you.
Speaker 5: I'm at your service.
Speaker 2: I want what is your When you have to do
Speaker 2: five minutes?
Speaker 6: Do you just do joke Joe joke and get the
Speaker 6: age out of them?
Speaker 5: Well, you know, because this one new bit that I'm
Speaker 5: working on that I actually did the other night when
Speaker 5: I was working with you, and I think I have
Speaker 5: a I think I have the button for it. So
Speaker 5: I'm going to do that tonight.
Speaker 2: Can you hear it?
Speaker 5: It's the one about like when I say, would be
Speaker 5: awkward if I just started crying right now? And then
Speaker 5: it's a brand new piece. And you know, I remember
Speaker 5: when I thought. I thought of it when I was
Speaker 5: walking on the beach in Carl's bed. I was working
Speaker 5: down there, and I just thought, because I really wear
Speaker 5: my heart on my sleeve, I'm like one of those
Speaker 5: people I I you know, I let my feelings out there,
Speaker 5: perhaps to my disservice, but that's the way I choose
Speaker 5: to live.
Speaker 2: It's a good it's good to live open heartedly.
Speaker 5: I think so. I think so. But a lot of
Speaker 5: it scares a lot of people. And so the basic
Speaker 5: premise of the bit is that you know, the only
Speaker 5: appropriate answer in our society to the question how are you?
Speaker 5: Is fine? Anything else no one wants to hear. So
Speaker 5: then I kind of go through like what that would
Speaker 5: be like if I really, you know, told everybody how
Speaker 5: I was really feeling and there are things that are
Speaker 5: really upsetting me today, then I'll you know, the great
Speaker 5: thing about this bit is that I can do I
Speaker 5: can do it always changes all those things how I'm feeling,
Speaker 5: you know, It's not it can just be whatever happened
Speaker 5: that day. But I have to say that it it
Speaker 5: scares me a little bit because it does tip my
Speaker 5: hands quite a bit, and it and it's it lets it.
Speaker 5: It's a vulnerable place, and I don't want it to
Speaker 5: be like a hacky bit bit. I want to I
Speaker 5: want it to be really open hearted.
Speaker 1: As you say, so well that I love it when
Speaker 1: a joke has that moment in it where you it
Speaker 1: has built in presence and riffing like you Like you said,
Speaker 1: you can change it every time according to something that
Speaker 1: happened that.
Speaker 5: Day and then helps it right and it also helps
Speaker 5: helps it stay fresh for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I try. That's always been a goal of mine.
Speaker 1: But then sometimes I'll have a boring day and so
Speaker 1: it makes that joke flop because I used a bad example.
Speaker 5: Whatever. It can't always be there, No, it really can't.
Speaker 5: But then also I want to do that, and then
Speaker 5: I'll just I'm getting a little tired of my opening.
Speaker 5: You know, I've had the same opening for so long
Speaker 5: that I do.
Speaker 1: Isn't that the hardest thing to replace?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Your opening hardest thing. And I remember when I started
Speaker 5: doing late night TV spots. You know, you have to
Speaker 5: come up with so many openings, so many openings, right,
Speaker 5: and that is very hard, and they're not you know,
Speaker 5: not everyone is going to be as great as the other.
Speaker 5: But it's I think it's the most important thing because
Speaker 5: you know, it's like you're it's like, you know, I
Speaker 5: I really generally hate saying how are you? You know,
Speaker 5: I hate saying tip or has everyone doing?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I like I used to live when Margaret Smith used
Speaker 5: to say, I was it was backstage. It all sounded
Speaker 5: really good, and that's what sets you and me apart.
Speaker 1: I've always I've always had trouble with that. And then
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, of course it'll take people five minutes
Speaker 1: to like me because I don't have I don't say
Speaker 1: how's everyone doing? But when I did Conan, that JP
Speaker 1: guy said, I know this is in your style, but
Speaker 1: go out there and say, hey, how's everyone doing. That's
Speaker 1: what they're used to hearing. And if you really don't
Speaker 1: like how that goes, we can cut it out.
Speaker 5: Well, but it can sort of sometimes with an audience
Speaker 5: like that, it gives them time to sort of focus.
Speaker 5: It's not it's not it's like, oh good, he's gonna
Speaker 5: start now. Because you just said that, you know, they
Speaker 5: might lose the first joke maybe well.
Speaker 6: And also they might think if you went right into talking,
Speaker 6: like right into saying your joke, that looks nervous.
Speaker 2: I would think that a person like that was nervous
Speaker 2: because it's like you're not even acknowledging where you are.
Speaker 6: You have you have to kind of well for TV anyway,
Speaker 6: I mean, I.
Speaker 5: Always say hi, I always say hello to them. I
Speaker 5: always say hello to them individually, So that would be
Speaker 5: really great because then I could eat up like a
Speaker 5: lot of time.
Speaker 1: So great chance, like Ellen a.
Speaker 6: Little bit, you could do that in the bit, like
Speaker 6: you could be explaining how you everyone has to say
Speaker 6: fight and then start asking people, well they are in
Speaker 6: the audience.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's such a great idea because then they nobody's
Speaker 5: going to book me, of course, but it's a great
Speaker 5: idea in.
Speaker 6: Croud works a conversation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like, well, Jimmy Brogan when he did
Speaker 5: late night shows, he couldn't do crowd work. He couldn't
Speaker 5: do on the Tonight Show. He couldn't do like his
Speaker 5: usual stuff. He had to do jokes, right, So yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean you have to. It's a certain point on
Speaker 5: on TV. It's like a whole different animal. That's why
Speaker 5: it was like always when I was when I would
Speaker 5: run my set, run my set around town, whenever it bombed,
Speaker 5: it was like always a good sign. That's great, Well,
Speaker 5: that's great, it's bombing in the clubs.
Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 5: Well, because you're not acknowledging the live audience. You're you're
Speaker 5: going you're going through your jokes, and because you want
Speaker 5: to remember what's next and what's next and what's next,
Speaker 5: and and because you're you're acting as if you're doing
Speaker 5: it on TV. But there are live people there. It's different,
Speaker 5: you know, do you know what I'm saying. Either the
Speaker 5: studio studio audience is live, they don't expect you to
Speaker 5: interact with them. The audience does.
Speaker 6: I think they'd be uncomfortable if you did. Like now,
Speaker 6: you're supposed to be doing your thing.
Speaker 1: Right, right, And that's that's what I always wanted to do,
Speaker 1: was stand up. When I first watched comics and like
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't realize that they were saying
Speaker 1: scripted material like first st comedy. And I was young,
Speaker 1: but yes, I saw, oh that guy every time he
Speaker 1: just comes up and thinks of funny things nice. It's
Speaker 1: so disappointing when you see that first comic. Do they're set.
Speaker 5: Again and then again, right, and then again, and then
Speaker 5: you start to respect that as a craft.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, it took me a while, but right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you said, finding ways to keep it fresh to
Speaker 1: you is right. The trick.
Speaker 5: I mean, there are times when I'm when I'm doing
Speaker 5: like I'm on stage and I'm doing a bit and
Speaker 5: it's like, oh god, I want to get I want
Speaker 5: to get through this one. I have to No, No,
Speaker 5: I just know I should then, but I really like, like,
Speaker 5: I'm tired of doing this. I'm thinking, Oh, I'm tired
Speaker 5: of doing this, So I have to find like I
Speaker 5: have to like almost like infuge energy artificially so that
Speaker 5: I don't, you know, make them go to sleep. Oh God,
Speaker 5: there was something I was just gonna ask you, and
Speaker 5: now I forget damn it you. Oh oh, I know
Speaker 5: what it is. You know, like when when I'm doing
Speaker 5: two like long sets, if I'm headlining, I'm doing too
Speaker 5: long sets, and somebody from the audience says, so are
Speaker 5: you going to do the same show your second show?
Speaker 5: And part of me gets like pissed, and I realize
Speaker 5: why I'm pissed. It's because I'm really pissed at myself
Speaker 5: because I wish I had to forty five fifty minute
Speaker 5: sets like a sets like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who has that?
Speaker 5: I don't know, I mean maybe I don't know. I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 1: Has ladlining said just about catch up and other Tomato products?
Speaker 5: I love that guy? Does he?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of different. Food groups are different.
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, I haven't watched a lot of Jim gaff.
Speaker 1: He sounds like I'm talking smack about him.
Speaker 2: It does really a lot, you know, No, you're not.
Speaker 2: He's the best.
Speaker 1: I'll stick it to the gaff Man.
Speaker 2: He's so funny.
Speaker 5: I have to watch him.
Speaker 1: He's really enjoyable yet. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and also just that his it's so his voice.
Speaker 6: It's like it really does seem like he's just talking
Speaker 6: to you right, like in line and Starbucks.
Speaker 2: It's very it's so casual.
Speaker 6: And also he's one of the people that when I
Speaker 6: watch him do stand up, it makes me crazy because
Speaker 6: I've had the.
Speaker 2: Beginning of the thought.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's the one that just goes tick and
Speaker 6: like makes it the funny thing, as opposed to just
Speaker 6: me going.
Speaker 5: Like right, like you observed it and then he figured
Speaker 5: out where to take it.
Speaker 1: I love that feeling of watching another comic and enjoying
Speaker 1: a joke but also being frustrated because you feel like
Speaker 1: your brain was just interest from having thought of it yourself. Yeah, you're, like, God,
Speaker 1: the most familiar. I think that guy just stole my.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure there's like there was so how
Speaker 5: could there not be overlapped between all these people doing
Speaker 5: stand up and over the decades. You know, I was
Speaker 5: just watching George Carlin because Kelly just is, you know,
Speaker 5: doing press with the book, and they're showing some clips
Speaker 5: and he was talking about how, you know, all the
Speaker 5: kids toys are so safe now, and he does this
Speaker 5: thing about when he was you know, when he was
Speaker 5: a kid that you know, the kid who swallowed a
Speaker 5: bag of marbles didn't grow up to have kids. That
Speaker 5: it was you know, it was good. It was like
Speaker 5: it was like survival of the fittest. And I know somebody, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 5: and I know somebody. I didn't even set that up
Speaker 5: PROBABLEM sorry, but I hate myself, I have, but I
Speaker 5: but I know somebody who does something like that and
Speaker 5: I didn't. And I didn't know that of Carlin's before,
Speaker 5: so and his and my friend and my friend's piece
Speaker 5: is great, but I mean it was decades earlier.
Speaker 6: So anyway, so let's hear who the steeler is.
Speaker 5: No, he's not a steeler.
Speaker 2: And it's the Gossip Show. So anyway, here's who I
Speaker 2: think steals.
Speaker 5: Just kidding, I know you are who steals.
Speaker 2: There's steal.
Speaker 5: Well, we know, we know the big Steelers.
Speaker 1: I mean it's some people will surprise. I think sometimes
Speaker 1: people accidentally steal I hear something, yeah, and then they
Speaker 1: thought it was in a dream and they wake.
Speaker 2: Up for sure.
Speaker 6: Well and also not just stand up, but like that's
Speaker 6: my I think that's why I avoid watching a lot
Speaker 6: of comedy because I know I'll do that.
Speaker 2: I memory. I will memorize things.
Speaker 6: That I love, and then it'll come back out and
Speaker 6: I'll be like, how did I think of that?
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, because it's work.
Speaker 5: But Robin Williams that was his problem, right, He had
Speaker 5: a hard time remembering what was memory and what was
Speaker 5: coming out of his own brain.
Speaker 1: And if your yeah, if your style is to just
Speaker 1: grab thoughts from right floating in the air above your head,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be someone.
Speaker 5: Else's thought at some point. But you know, I started
Speaker 5: doing this bit recently that knew, you know. For me,
Speaker 5: it was about arm and hammer baking soda, and and
Speaker 5: then my friend told me that j Johansson did it.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh shit, feel terrible. Oh but it
Speaker 5: probably wasn't.
Speaker 2: That was just coincidence, right, Well.
Speaker 5: No, he done, he done it. I mean he'd done
Speaker 5: it on Letterman, and I swear to you, I never,
Speaker 5: I never. I didn't didn't remember him doing it, but
Speaker 5: I just thought it was funny that And I don't
Speaker 5: know if he did the beginning part of it, but
Speaker 5: I mean it would start. But I would say, you know,
Speaker 5: being older is has its benefits because I have a
Speaker 5: you know, I have more wisdom now. And one of
Speaker 5: the things that I've learned in life is that the
Speaker 5: baking soda in your refrigerator does absolutely nothing right. That
Speaker 5: word was refrigerator, by the way, it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't you had a couple of drinks.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, it's the coffee. But then I followed it
Speaker 5: up by saying, and then they tell you to pour
Speaker 5: it down the drain. I mean they you're literally pouring
Speaker 5: it down the drain. What a scam. And that was
Speaker 5: the thing that Dylan Brody told me that Jake did.
Speaker 5: Oh that's you feel dirty, terrible feeling.
Speaker 1: I feel silly for it, even me thinking it was
Speaker 1: an original thought. But I had a joke about tired
Speaker 1: talking about getting blood out of clothes, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: when did Tide start marketing towards murderers? And yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like a classic sein felt bad apparently.
Speaker 5: Like blood if the if blood in your clothes, how
Speaker 5: does it go?
Speaker 1: I think says getting blood in their clothes, and then
Speaker 1: he said murderers, whereas I basically said the exact same thing.
Speaker 5: Maybe he says clean laundry is not your first by.
Speaker 1: Right, I think that is. Yeah, he says evading the
Speaker 1: police should take presidents. You're cotton poly Who am I
Speaker 1: doing now? Show.
Speaker 6: One of my favorite stories is when the first time
Speaker 6: Rosie o'donnald did stand up, she went up and did
Speaker 6: an entire set of Seinfeld's and she killed and then
Speaker 6: she got off stage and all the comics were like,
Speaker 6: you just did Seinfeld's material, and she thought that's what
Speaker 6: you were supposed to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She was like, yeah, that's the those are the
Speaker 2: funniest ones.
Speaker 6: Like she had seen him on TV and was just decided,
Speaker 6: that's that's how you did comment for.
Speaker 1: Time she did stand up was on TV.
Speaker 5: Then no no, no, no, no no, I want him
Speaker 5: on TV, and thought all his stuff is good.
Speaker 1: I'll do that. Yeah, but I'm just making fun of
Speaker 1: the fact that you would think, even back then, you
Speaker 1: would know better.
Speaker 2: One would think so she was young. She was like,
Speaker 2: it's seventeen.
Speaker 1: She was young and a kangle half.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean when did the kangle had things start?
Speaker 5: I don't know when, Sam Jackson? Who started?
Speaker 1: I think it was Sammy Jackson, Sam.
Speaker 5: Old Sam Jackson, what a showman? Chris? Where do you
Speaker 5: live by the way? I think where you live close
Speaker 5: to me?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean Marina Delray. Oh cool, right on
Speaker 1: the right by the boats. You know.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you're lucky.
Speaker 1: Well, I love sailing, do you know? I must. I'm
Speaker 1: scared of the ocean, but I swim in and I follow.
Speaker 1: Hold on, it's okay. This is the right where Karen feels.
Speaker 2: Me up every time. I perfectly. Let me protect your penis.
Speaker 1: It would have been the first thing to go through
Speaker 1: the windshield.
Speaker 2: Chris is growing?
Speaker 5: All right, everything's fine, all right, all right, let's clean
Speaker 5: it up.
Speaker 1: Are you, Kathy?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 1: Do you enjoy doing stand up as much as you did? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know ten years ago.
Speaker 5: Well let's go. You can go farther back than that.
Speaker 5: You've been doing it for thirty four years.
Speaker 1: Leave it. That's amazing, It is amazing.
Speaker 5: Three to four. So here's what I here's what I
Speaker 5: still love the craft I do. What I what I've
Speaker 5: had it with is babysitting the audience drunk stuff like that.
Speaker 5: I've kind of outgrown a lot of venues, I think,
Speaker 5: but I haven't grown into the next level of venue
Speaker 5: because I can't sell it out, you know. So it's
Speaker 5: it's a little frustrating. But that's why I like some
Speaker 5: of these rooms around the city that are not not
Speaker 5: clubs per se, but people who really enjoy good comedy
Speaker 5: go to these places, and that I love. I really
Speaker 5: do love it. But my life is different now.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: I used to be I used to be in a
Speaker 5: club every night and I loved it, and that was
Speaker 5: my social life too. But now, you know, I have
Speaker 5: a daughter, and I'm married, and and you know, it's
Speaker 5: just and I'm doing other things and I have to
Speaker 5: get up early in the morning for school, you know,
Speaker 5: to get my daughter to school. So my everything's everything's different.
Speaker 5: My hours are shifted, and I you know, I can't.
Speaker 5: I can't do that, and I don't want to do
Speaker 5: that either. I don't want to hang out in bars.
Speaker 1: I'm just getting to the point where I don't want
Speaker 1: it to be my social life anymore. But I don't
Speaker 1: know how else to have it.
Speaker 5: But I don't have a social life.
Speaker 2: That's the thing that's really happens.
Speaker 5: I mean, I because I mean I like hanging out
Speaker 5: with like minded people.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you tried to hang out with non comedians,
Speaker 1: It's well, it's not easy.
Speaker 5: I mean, anybody who's who's an artist of sorts is
Speaker 5: interesting to hang out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, yeah, I don't need.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's some comics that I don't want to
Speaker 5: hang out with.
Speaker 1: Let's get started that.
Speaker 2: Book.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean that's what That's one thing about
Speaker 5: the marketing of comedy. I think that is so unfair
Speaker 5: as opposed to other entertainment forms. When you go to
Speaker 5: see music, dance, anything like that, there are sub headings
Speaker 5: you got to see. You want to hear rock music,
Speaker 5: you want to hear jazz, just.
Speaker 1: Go see like live music, just live music.
Speaker 5: Crazy. Yeah, so I mean literally insane. But if you're
Speaker 5: going to see if you go into comedy, it's just
Speaker 5: kind of and you know, people don't understand the nuance
Speaker 5: and had a program a show and and not you know,
Speaker 5: not every comic is gonna like hanging out with every
Speaker 5: other comic. You know it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6: I also find me like having just recently done a
Speaker 6: club after not doing one for a really long time.
Speaker 6: The age, I'm just so old, so much older than
Speaker 6: like the young I should say, the young people that
Speaker 6: that want to.
Speaker 5: Do imagine how I feel.
Speaker 6: But I mean, it's that like what I realized it was.
Speaker 6: I was so like, oh, I it's bad that I
Speaker 6: don't want to do this or whatever, and then I realized, like, well,
Speaker 6: this is this is a young man's and woman's game.
Speaker 6: It really is like when you're so obsessed with comedy
Speaker 6: and you want to be in that club even if
Speaker 6: you don't have a.
Speaker 2: Set, it's a whole lifestyle.
Speaker 5: And also it's but it's like you you don't you
Speaker 5: but hopefully your life broadens as you get older. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know you want you don't want to be one
Speaker 5: of those man childs or woman child you know who
Speaker 5: you know hasn't evolved in life either. But you know
Speaker 5: I did it. I did a show a couple of
Speaker 5: weeks ago. I was telling you this, Karen, where everybody
Speaker 5: was like half my age in the audience and on stage,
Speaker 5: and I had a great time and it felt like
Speaker 5: such an accomplishment that that's it's not just a matter
Speaker 5: of years, it's a matter of sensibility. And these these
Speaker 5: were these were smart people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and it so my plan for you,
Speaker 6: Kathy is that we're gonna do Thursday nights and or
Speaker 6: like we'll do like a Monday and a Thursday, and
Speaker 6: that's when you're gonna have to come into.
Speaker 2: The Hollywood area and Duke shows.
Speaker 5: I could handle two nights a week.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna get a schedule going.
Speaker 5: Okay, oh look, Karen's like, Karen's like mentoring. I will manage.
Speaker 2: Because when I saw you the other night, well, I mean, I.
Speaker 6: Remember when we used to do sets at the Fake
Speaker 6: Gallery long ago. It was the best and there was
Speaker 6: so no stakes, like you could kind of do whatever,
Speaker 6: and it was so fun. But the these crowds need
Speaker 6: you like they need everyone is so similar in a
Speaker 6: lot of these rooms and at a lot of these shows.
Speaker 6: But it's so great when somebody comes in, it's kind
Speaker 6: of like, hi, everybody, now, now watch how comedy's done.
Speaker 5: Similar in what way would you say they are?
Speaker 6: Well, it's a lot of dudes that are like thirty
Speaker 6: two and wearing a plaid shirt with beard and black
Speaker 6: framed glasses.
Speaker 2: I mean, if a lot of like, what are talking
Speaker 2: about the white guys? It's white.
Speaker 6: It's a real white guy's game, and it's not you know,
Speaker 6: I don't feel alienated or like, it's not a complaint.
Speaker 6: It's just it's so great to have a mix and
Speaker 6: and to have more than just that one perspective. And
Speaker 6: they and a lot of producers at shows around town
Speaker 6: are really good about making sure that they do have
Speaker 6: a at least as much of a variety as they can.
Speaker 2: But I think it's just a numbers thing where it's
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 6: A lot of young dudes, right, So, like, especially you
Speaker 6: at the end of that show, it was just so
Speaker 6: great because it just felt like I just felt like
Speaker 6: I could see the real club behind you, even though
Speaker 6: we were in the weirdest gay bar. That was like,
Speaker 6: is that made of me? Yes, It's like it's like
Speaker 6: real comedy is happening.
Speaker 5: But you know that maybe. So it still makes me
Speaker 5: nervous when people say you should close. Oh, it always
Speaker 5: makes me nervous. I have such low self esteem. Karen,
Speaker 5: Karen is paid you should close?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 1: Well, if you're in town, it's just like you should
Speaker 1: go last. You should leave the place last.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's almost an the other places.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, you should wait the longest you've paid your dues.
Speaker 1: You should sit through these others.
Speaker 5: Oh oh that yeah, okay, right.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when there's three people and you're getting paid,
Speaker 1: you should always go last.
Speaker 5: Kathy, Well, I wasn't getting paid.
Speaker 2: No, quite the opposite.
Speaker 1: That's maybe what keeps well. When I first moved here
Speaker 1: and I had worked down the road with and we've
Speaker 1: talked about him before, Robert Hawkins, but he used to
Speaker 1: make me laugh.
Speaker 5: Don't even know who he is.
Speaker 1: He's exactly like he I don't know anybody, but I
Speaker 1: don't know where he is now. He's probably Texas living
Speaker 1: in a military town. I don't know, but he was.
Speaker 1: I think I had a writing job on that Titus
Speaker 1: show and then When the Road. But when when alternative
Speaker 1: comedy was a genre that I think that the phrase
Speaker 1: has finally gone away. But but yeah, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but those show like at UCB, I was like, you
Speaker 1: should have Robert Hawkins on it. Told God ackermented and
Speaker 1: he killed in a way that other comics couldn't because
Speaker 1: he had all that experience. He also was an absurdist.
Speaker 1: He's a bizarre brain. But he also does the road NonStop.
Speaker 2: And so he knows exactly how to kill in anything.
Speaker 5: Yes, I don't know how to kill it anyone.
Speaker 6: That's not true, because I was telling Chris the thing
Speaker 6: you did where you were like, why am I talking
Speaker 6: like this?
Speaker 2: And then you got like You're like because this.
Speaker 5: Because everybody was shouting, and I think I understood why
Speaker 5: the acoustics in the room. Oh oh, we just stalled.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a first for the show.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yes, really, this always happens.
Speaker 1: We made it like fifty five episodes before.
Speaker 5: It's always me. It's always you know these so many
Speaker 5: times this will happen in life, something will ocur and
Speaker 5: people will say this has never happened before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find people say that every time I go
Speaker 1: to a club on the road. This is usually last
Speaker 1: week it was packed here. Yes, there's the football game,
Speaker 1: and also a local preacher is speaking of.
Speaker 5: Oh I can't compete with the preacher. I know.
Speaker 1: Oh, you mean that audience is going to be here
Speaker 1: because they're all I haven't like Catholary.
Speaker 6: You lost all the Baptists and most of the Presbyterians.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Okay, now you got Now did you
Speaker 5: hear the did you not? Did you not watch the debate?
Speaker 1: Chris? I did. I wanted. I was about to get
Speaker 1: on stage, and so I was. Basically I was in
Speaker 1: my hometown. I was nervous, and I get nervous. I'm
Speaker 1: a nervous person. We're nervous right now.
Speaker 5: I mean, you were you were? You were in Venice.
Speaker 1: I was in Missoula, Montana.
Speaker 5: You're from Missoula.
Speaker 1: I am I love miss Have you ever done yes?
Speaker 5: Here's here's an interesting story. When I was in nineteen
Speaker 5: eighty three or eighty four, I was living in New
Speaker 5: York and doing stand up you know, for two three years.
Speaker 5: And my boyfriend was Steve Middleman. Do you know Steve mid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the joke about folding she is exactly exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: pillow cases.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so. And he had this fan who lived
Speaker 5: in Montana who owned these black Angus steakhouses. So he
Speaker 5: contacted Steve. I think Steve had a showtime special or
Speaker 5: something for sure. He contacted Steve and he said he
Speaker 5: wanted to uh bring him out in August and he
Speaker 5: would uh you know, play four different four different cities Billings, Sure, Bozeman,
Speaker 5: Missoula and Great Falls and so and and I and
Speaker 5: I lived with thee at the time, and Steve said, well,
Speaker 5: I'd like my girlfriend to come open. And he said, sure,
Speaker 5: that's great. So we did that. And also we knew
Speaker 5: a guy who worked for the New York Times and
Speaker 5: he thought it was such an interesting thing that we
Speaker 5: were doing, and he pitched it at the office and
Speaker 5: they sent a reporter with us to travel around. And
Speaker 5: this guy is Bill Geist. Do you remember Bill Geist?
Speaker 5: William Geist wants to be on CBS Morning Red Hair.
Speaker 5: His son is Willie Geist, who's like so anyway, so
Speaker 5: Bill traveled around with us, and it was so much fun.
Speaker 5: It was so much fun. And it was gorgeous. I'd
Speaker 5: never been to Montana before, right.
Speaker 1: And he was doing a story about what's it like
Speaker 1: to do stand up in a state where it's like
Speaker 1: America a hundred years ago.
Speaker 5: Well it was kind of well, it was just like,
Speaker 5: you know, traveling with two New York comedians in Montana.
Speaker 5: Just a very you know, very interesting juxtaposition. I remember,
Speaker 5: like I think it was in Billings. You know, we're
Speaker 5: doing we're doing you know, the steakhouses were not made
Speaker 5: for coming.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a Black Angust tour.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just fourth Black Angas.
Speaker 1: That's that's what makes the story.
Speaker 5: It's a perfect story.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: So so in one in the first place, I believe
Speaker 5: it was the first place in Billings and my least
Speaker 5: favorite city.
Speaker 1: And I was just there last last month.
Speaker 5: But yes, so not it's good No not to say that,
Speaker 5: and I'll mean it. Yes so, but the way they
Speaker 5: had they set up a sort of a state a
Speaker 5: quasi stage in some room, and they got a spotlight,
Speaker 5: you know, one of those giant can was.
Speaker 1: Sure like industrial garage, your dad changing the oil.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, a big giant canister kind of a spotlight
Speaker 5: and they put it in a closet and they left
Speaker 5: the closet door open so that it would light us
Speaker 5: on stage. So I'm on stage and somebody wasn't aware
Speaker 5: of why the closet doors on. They just went on
Speaker 5: the cluss door and I was like in total darkness.
Speaker 2: It was very funny.
Speaker 5: It was very funny. We had a great time. Anyway,
Speaker 5: So you were nervous doing your well show in Missoula.
Speaker 1: You said, Yeah, my dad and family and friends are there,
Speaker 1: and I think they've seen I was doing jokes that
Speaker 1: I've never done before because I've been there enough to
Speaker 1: have burned my material. Last time I was there, but
Speaker 1: I was just opening for Todd Berry. I wanted them
Speaker 1: to see Todd Berry, but I was worried about an
Speaker 1: audience that doesn't get to see stand up that much. Right,
Speaker 1: last time I brought him there, which is weird. I
Speaker 1: bring my own headliner was like six years ago. In
Speaker 1: the crowd, they drink a lot in Montana. The ground
Speaker 1: got chatty thing, but I think in general people are
Speaker 1: a little more savvy to get back. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: we're on our way.
Speaker 5: So anyway, yeah, they got Chad.
Speaker 1: They were a great audience this time, so they loved
Speaker 1: great jokes. And when I just speaking for myself on
Speaker 1: a joke that wasn't that good, they were like, that
Speaker 1: was polite.
Speaker 5: Left right, But you're you're really it sounds like you're
Speaker 5: harder on yourself than anybody could.
Speaker 1: I hate myself.
Speaker 2: I understand so much, but.
Speaker 1: It's too late. I hate myself and I'm just I
Speaker 1: all spend it on other people once the right person
Speaker 1: comes along, but for now I'm just spending all the
Speaker 1: hate on my it's good.
Speaker 5: I recommend getting married. It kind of grows exponentially.
Speaker 1: You don't.
Speaker 5: You didn't even know that you could kind of it
Speaker 5: could build upon it. It feeds on itself in a way.
Speaker 5: But but yeah, now I feel guilty that I said that.
Speaker 2: Should re edit it out.
Speaker 5: It's okay, but I'll never hear it's okay. But he
Speaker 5: doesn't listen to podcasts?
