Speaker 5: Yes, you look like have you been overseas? We just
Speaker 5: let's let's.
Speaker 4: Let people in. Okay, we just finished an episode. We
Speaker 4: were sugar crashing, so we decided, hey, let's stop this episode. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we waited one whole minute and now we're starting to you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but don't worry. We got sugar right here in the console.
Speaker 3: It's fine there, don't worry about us. I'm eating on
Speaker 3: the show. We'll always do it for you.
Speaker 4: Yes. In the drink holder, there's large horse sized sugar cubes.
Speaker 3: Actually, can I show you something that made me laugh?
Speaker 3: And I do not know how this got here in
Speaker 3: the drinkholder here on my side.
Speaker 4: Look, just one peanut.
Speaker 3: There's a peanut, and I don't it's a full old
Speaker 3: fashioned mister peanut style. It just needs a monocle and
Speaker 3: some tap shoes. And this is mister peanut. Yes, a peanut.
Speaker 3: I didn't put it here. I don't eat peanuts like
Speaker 3: I'm like at a baseball game.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it came from. And it's here.
Speaker 4: Is so bizarre. You have a classic nineteen forties roasted peanut.
Speaker 5: Just one put it in your mouth?
Speaker 4: I do dare me?
Speaker 1: Well, what's it from that? Like a squirrel could have
Speaker 1: put it in there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he doesn't get inside that shell. The nuts
Speaker 4: are fine.
Speaker 3: Okay, uh oh, I think I have to do it
Speaker 3: like a full turnaround and then.
Speaker 4: Right yeah, okay, yeah, it's just like uber drive have
Speaker 4: they have to worry about it all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: which side of the street are you on? I am guys?
Speaker 1: Pinut surprises?
Speaker 3: Am?
Speaker 5: I right?
Speaker 4: It's insane. Yeah, that's almost scary.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just because.
Speaker 4: It's a haunted food from yesteryear just in your modern car.
Speaker 1: It's true. And also it's like even my squirrel excuse
Speaker 1: is like, well what are you talking?
Speaker 5: Oh wait, am ie? Two differently right now?
Speaker 4: I think you're in the middle.
Speaker 1: But but I don't think.
Speaker 5: I see now we're back in one length.
Speaker 4: You were fine. You were fine that whole time. It
Speaker 4: just had the feel of you were almost that person
Speaker 4: that we hate, the one that drives in the middle.
Speaker 4: Yes see, now it.
Speaker 5: Would be bad, Yeah, now it would be.
Speaker 4: That was just bad civic design.
Speaker 3: My thing is, where would a panut? Like did a
Speaker 3: funny friend do the peanut? And then I'm just not
Speaker 3: getting how funny that is?
Speaker 4: Right? What I think? A left or right?
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's back behind us?
Speaker 4: Yeah right, there's two options, and I always mess it up.
Speaker 4: Oh and now we're looking at a dead end. I
Speaker 4: take full responsibility.
Speaker 3: This is good content right here, listener, we're in an alley.
Speaker 3: There's a porta Patti. There's some garbage. You wouldn't believe
Speaker 3: what we're looking at right now?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Was it?
Speaker 4: I don't. It's something very well known. But what show
Speaker 4: or movie was it? Where it's a meeting where you're
Speaker 4: supposed to be serious and someone just sets a pez
Speaker 4: dispenser up and it sits there and they both can't
Speaker 4: stop laughing because it's just a pez dispenser. I don't know,
Speaker 4: maybe it was an episode of Seinfeld, but yeah, some
Speaker 4: a friend just placing a random singular object for you
Speaker 4: to find later or to notice, and you're surprised by it.
Speaker 3: But I'm truly racking my brain of like, what friend
Speaker 3: has been in my car recently?
Speaker 4: Oh, the friend that put the peanut. There is an
Speaker 4: apparition that is translucent and from another time.
Speaker 5: He is a ghost peanut. Yes.
Speaker 4: The people are always under the misconception that a new
Speaker 4: car can't be haunted since you're the first owner.
Speaker 5: Oh that's not true.
Speaker 4: I've seen movies recently where ghosts can travel and go
Speaker 4: to different dimensions and they don't have to stay in
Speaker 4: that house or apartment.
Speaker 1: You've seen movies about.
Speaker 4: That, yes, yes, yeah, and they documentaries, so they have
Speaker 4: to be real.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all real. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've always thought about that though. Why can't ghosts why
Speaker 4: they have to wear the same clothes and be in
Speaker 4: the same house. Can't they get naked and go outside
Speaker 4: and haunt another house?
Speaker 1: Guess not? The energy doesn't last. My thing is, and
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this.
Speaker 3: I'm just so afraid of I'm going to get caught
Speaker 3: in a bad outfit forever.
Speaker 5: And I know that for a fact, because I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm always dressing for convenience instead of like, you know,
Speaker 3: beauty or effect. Right, And it's like, so I'm literally
Speaker 3: just gonna be wearing this.
Speaker 5: Yeah into Trinity.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I died sledding and your mismatched boots, your your
Speaker 4: grandpa's old jacket.
Speaker 1: I wonder if I just pull up here, yeah, curb, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 4: I think we've done it.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 4: So I'm very excited for today's guests. This is true,
Speaker 4: well those guests that it's just exciting. But also we
Speaker 4: don't do you know.
Speaker 3: I know people who know him, but I've never met him.
Speaker 3: I don't know him, And so.
Speaker 4: There's a nervousness, but that good kind of nervousness.
Speaker 5: We just have to remember to be interesting in ourselves.
Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, we don't be ourselves, be more interesting,
Speaker 3: interesting and interested, right exactly?
Speaker 5: Okay, like what are you?
Speaker 4: What do you like? Right? I don't know. I feel
Speaker 4: like that's directed towards me.
Speaker 3: I need.
Speaker 4: I haven't been doing that. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 3: No, I'm taking a joke about how you make conversation
Speaker 3: with people you don't know.
Speaker 1: Right where it's like, well you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fine, I'll ask him about their lives. Fine, describe
Speaker 4: where dreams I've had, the moment he gets in the car.
Speaker 1: No, please, no cats with broken legs talks.
Speaker 4: I just can't, absolutely not. I will not talk about
Speaker 4: animals in any way.
Speaker 5: We can't get through it, we won't make it.
Speaker 4: I will not talk about the coyote in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Why is it suffering something?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: He's just walking around and seems tired. Yeah, a lot
Speaker 4: of people. I posted a photo of them. People were
Speaker 4: inquiring about it. So it's it's it does make sense
Speaker 4: that I give an update. Still doing okay, looks a
Speaker 4: little better. It was just hot that week.
Speaker 5: Get it out, yep.
Speaker 1: Anything else you need to say.
Speaker 4: When I saw him go around the corner, he start
Speaker 4: tap dancing. I think it's just an act. He's a
Speaker 4: healthy showman.
Speaker 1: You just trying to get people to pity him and
Speaker 1: give him bowls of water.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: It's one of those coyotes that one hundred percent looks
Speaker 4: like a dog that like if you had the wrong
Speaker 4: prescription lenses, you would just put a leash on it
Speaker 4: and give it a dog bowl. Oh, I found this dog.
Speaker 4: I think someone did that, and I think it may
Speaker 4: have been Martha Kelly.
Speaker 1: Oh that's in the first episode of Baskets.
Speaker 4: Isn't that funny?
Speaker 5: Or one episode of Baskets?
Speaker 4: But it was I remember when I watched it. It
Speaker 4: was based in a Martha Kelly troop.
Speaker 1: Oh she really did it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that it was a story that I
Speaker 4: don't know. We have to have Martha back on to
Speaker 4: get to the bottom.
Speaker 5: We need it.
Speaker 1: We do need Martha back on.
Speaker 4: But we're just spinning our wheels. We have a guest
Speaker 4: today and they're gonna come out momentarily.
Speaker 1: We couldn't be more excited.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: And we did save for munchkins for him.
Speaker 5: Oh that's great.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm gonna close the lids, so good idea.
Speaker 4: Maybe he just like, oh, you bought a four pack
Speaker 4: in a slightly larger box.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they ran out of four pack boxes. He's like,
Speaker 3: I'm from the East Coast. We know there's no four packs.
Speaker 5: He talks like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of like a French guy.
Speaker 1: Get ready, don't make fun of him for.
Speaker 5: His accents from the schools.
Speaker 4: I don't know that was it. We don't do accents.
Speaker 4: We don't do impressions, never have. We do some impersonations,
Speaker 4: and Karen does imitations, but we don't do voices or impressions.
Speaker 4: We are like a litigious rich little my dad. He
Speaker 4: does imitations. He doesn't do impressions. He does impersonations, not impressions.
Speaker 4: Like there was like a which makes sense now, rich Little, like.
Speaker 1: Please don't yell at me.
Speaker 5: First of all, rich Little, Karen pull over.
Speaker 4: Rich Little used to just do the voice and say
Speaker 4: something that person would say.
Speaker 1: Right, that's an impersonation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like he would just get on stage and go,
Speaker 4: well the economy, Nancy and I like there was no jokes,
Speaker 4: got but impressions. You are much like a printing on
Speaker 4: a parchment. Your you're you're leaving an you're changing it.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's an interpretation of the personality.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it's like when people do Jack Nicholson, but
Speaker 3: it's Jack Nicholson doing a bunch of other shit.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. Okay, what if Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 5: Was evil?
Speaker 4: Canebel right, Yeah, and then someone would do boy, that's
Speaker 4: comedy used to be so bad.
Speaker 1: It was different.
Speaker 4: It was different.
Speaker 3: I mean that kind of stuff was like vaudeville based, right, right.
Speaker 3: That took a while to wind itself out in popular culture.
Speaker 1: But it's fun.
Speaker 3: Like sorry, it's fun when someone can sound exactly like
Speaker 3: another person.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you're not expecting it.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of really good like Denzel impressions that
Speaker 3: every time they make me laugh really hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I you would be speaking of our pell.
Speaker 4: James o Domain was just on He a guest on
Speaker 4: Kimmel the other night.
Speaker 1: Oh was he?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because for his comedy special, yes, which.
Speaker 4: Is so Yeah. Obviously Kimmel loves him and he's been
Speaker 4: on there. It's the MyPillow guy and he rattled through
Speaker 4: so many organically and.
Speaker 5: Did he kill it?
Speaker 4: He killed it?
Speaker 1: Oh, I love hearing it.
Speaker 4: And Jimmy's comfortable around him, so he let him go
Speaker 4: and interjet like and tagged a few jokes like and
Speaker 4: made James laugh really hard like it was perfect.
Speaker 1: Oh great, Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's uh.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 3: Those kinds of things are hard because even though James
Speaker 3: Domain himself has done a million things like that live
Speaker 3: Live to tape, you know, high pressure, quote unquote, like
Speaker 3: he's built for it. But there's something about sitting in
Speaker 3: a chair and having to approximate a conversation that is
Speaker 3: like next tier difficulty for most people.
Speaker 4: Right unless you sit next to each other and podcast
Speaker 4: all the time. Like you and I would be a
Speaker 4: breeze in the wind so easy, it'd be a skip
Speaker 4: in the park.
Speaker 1: We'd breeze it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm a real wind bag. Do we let
Speaker 4: our guests know? I feel now that we're It's sometimes
Speaker 4: when you're in front of someone's house this long, you
Speaker 4: think the neighbors are going to be like, that's it,
Speaker 4: I'm calling someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you don't have to call someone because we're
Speaker 3: the FEDS.
Speaker 5: That would be my answer for you.
Speaker 4: And actually we're in a k car. We're both wearing
Speaker 4: solid black, we both have shades on. Yeah we are
Speaker 4: clearly you don't want us in your neighborhood. If we
Speaker 4: were driving right back right by right now, we would
Speaker 4: and interrogate us.
Speaker 5: Yes, we would be like are you creeps?
Speaker 1: And we don't stare at neighbors.
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you weirdo? No, you're you have a uniform
Speaker 4: and you're part of a security Okay.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 4: We asked for his for directions from that guy. That
Speaker 4: was so funny and immediately realized he was legit. Never mind,
Speaker 4: we'll just use the giant laptop that is glued to
Speaker 4: the dashboard.
Speaker 1: Thanks security guard.
Speaker 4: That was fun. It's it's not enough time has passed
Speaker 4: with that to be mistaked.
Speaker 1: No, it needs he needs like three years.
Speaker 4: It gotta go only early two thousands to see this.
Speaker 4: What I'm talking about is what's happening?
Speaker 5: Do they need to leave?
Speaker 4: Are you pulling out? We're just waiting for the neighbor
Speaker 4: to get in the car.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh no, we can.
Speaker 1: Pull up though if somebody is coming to get you.
Speaker 5: That's yeah.
Speaker 4: That worked out perfectly.
Speaker 5: That's great. Oh that was a classic.
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 5: I love the classic?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know from clubs and colleges across the country
Speaker 4: for your ears together for Matt Wall that was one
Speaker 4: of those classic. Like the time I thought a valet
Speaker 4: guy was coming to take my car at UCB, at
Speaker 4: at birds or whatever they have the valet guy and
Speaker 4: the guy just got in my car and sat there,
Speaker 4: and then I realized he thought I was the Uber drive.
Speaker 4: That's happened many times.
Speaker 1: I thought that neighbor was going to be like.
Speaker 5: Move it along. Yeah, yeah, I thought so too.
Speaker 1: We're just like shit, sorry, he.
Speaker 4: Had the confused look in his eye. I think that
Speaker 4: he was just he thought he had just called Nuber. Anyway,
Speaker 4: Hi Matt, Hi you guys, thank you, Hi joining us.
Speaker 5: I'm excited. I'm excited we are as well.
Speaker 4: That's what we were just saying before you got in
Speaker 4: the car.
Speaker 5: I love that's a nice car. Two. I was expecting
Speaker 5: like a, I don't know, it's just a junker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, way, not on this show.
Speaker 5: First class. I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well that was the first few seasons, the junker era.
Speaker 5: But now I won't besmirch my neighbors. But there was
Speaker 5: a time when I thought they were mobbed up. Oh oh,
Speaker 5: so you're trying the gentleman that you were talking to.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yes, he shoots us both in
Speaker 3: the back of the head.
Speaker 5: Well no not, they're lovely. But it's also like I
Speaker 5: was a little worried, like, oh.
Speaker 4: Yes, he had a connected like like he he could
Speaker 4: handle himself. But then I saw his kind face.
Speaker 5: And they're very kind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no way, even though he looks like a
Speaker 4: soprano that lifts swedes.
Speaker 1: Yes, necklace is really big.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that's you're asking for it, if
Speaker 3: you're going to wear a necklace.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think. Yeah, he was not upset. But we're
Speaker 5: not profiling people by their body type or their jewelry.
Speaker 4: No, but those two things combined, of course we will
Speaker 4: what choice do we have, certainly not on their own
Speaker 4: body type of jewelry, but that combined with the his
Speaker 4: but his sense the fragrance he chose, Oh.
Speaker 5: Was there a lot of I didn't get a lot
Speaker 5: of fragrance. I just I came in the back door.
Speaker 4: It waffed it in and it's just a memory.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: You smell terrific, by the way.
Speaker 5: Yes, I appreciate it. I put a little cologne on
Speaker 5: so I was working out in the yard, so I
Speaker 5: didn't want to be like sweaty.
Speaker 1: How's it going, what's going down?
Speaker 5: What's going down? I was thinking we could get some
Speaker 5: chicken feed today, perfect in Burbank, But I don't know
Speaker 5: if it's still.
Speaker 4: Open, how many chickens and our.
Speaker 5: Seven chickens right now, and we get about two or
Speaker 5: three eggs a day. And I started during the pandemic
Speaker 5: and I built a janky coop on my own and
Speaker 5: my wife was like, you got to get rid of that.
Speaker 5: That looks like Sandford and sunlight there.
Speaker 4: So did you have someone come over that makes catos
Speaker 4: and chicken coops for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a place in Lompoc, California called Dare to
Speaker 5: Dream and you can order chickens and you can order
Speaker 5: chicken coops and they can you can even get like
Speaker 5: probably like perennial flowers and stuff. They're kind of a
Speaker 5: farm friendly agriculture business. And it's just past Santa Barbara
Speaker 5: up there. So I ordered it and they came in
Speaker 5: and they built They didn't really build it. They just
Speaker 5: set it up and level it off and put it
Speaker 5: hung the doors on it.
Speaker 4: So that's so cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is cool. It is nice.
Speaker 4: How often do they produce eggs?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I get like two or three a day, and
Speaker 5: then we used to have roosters, but the roosters too, No,
Speaker 5: because it's kind of busy corner. Nobody complains that. I've
Speaker 5: actually gotten letters from neighbors who say they love the roosters. Oh,
Speaker 5: they just slip it in the mailbox and say, like,
Speaker 5: I can't tell you how nice it is to have
Speaker 5: a bit of country in this busy city.
Speaker 3: What if that's your neighbors threatening you in a way
Speaker 3: that you don't realize.
Speaker 5: Oh it's a passive aggressive girl.
Speaker 1: I love those chickens.
Speaker 5: Wait do you It wasn't from those neighbors. It was
Speaker 5: from a different neighbor.
Speaker 4: Honey, we got another rooster love letter, just like.
Speaker 5: Two people and we can we know the family, So
Speaker 5: I think it's sincere. But the roosters one was killed
Speaker 5: by a hawk. Oh but he was defending the hens,
Speaker 5: so that was his glory day.
Speaker 1: Oh did you were you? Do you have kids? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have three, and so that must have been hard.
Speaker 5: By the time they're grown up, the kids have sort
Speaker 5: of lost their attachment to them a little bit. But yeah,
Speaker 5: it was a little gory. Yeah, it was a little hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was my first thought, as it's like, because
Speaker 4: it's so hard to even have a cat that lives
Speaker 4: outdoors in Los Angeles. Yeah, but I feel like you're
Speaker 4: not in a coyote area.
Speaker 5: The coyotes. We've never had a coyote in the yard.
Speaker 5: It's a little too busy and uh. But what's it
Speaker 5: interesting about roosters is there's we had two roosters, so
Speaker 5: there's always an alpha, and we got him as chicks
Speaker 5: and they were called Blackie and Scrownie, and Scrownie was
Speaker 5: kind of the runt and Blackie was the alpha. So
Speaker 5: the alpha would sleep on the roost with like two
Speaker 5: female hens, and Scronnie would sleep underneath him and basically
Speaker 5: get pooped on, you know. Oh, it was the pecking order.
Speaker 5: But then I was gone for a while and my
Speaker 5: wife's like, Scrownie's the alpha. I don't know what happened,
Speaker 5: but now Scrownie's the alpha and its flipped.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 5: So they must have settled some scuffle in the yard
Speaker 5: some night. Yeah, and then Blackie was down below getting
Speaker 5: pooped on and Scronnie was up on the perch with
Speaker 5: the hens.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: Maybe it just switches back and forth periodically.
Speaker 5: It's weird, right, Yeah. I think like once in an
Speaker 5: animal documentary, if the two lions fight and he's the alpha,
Speaker 5: the other one just accepts it, right, like he's not
Speaker 5: always trying to win it back.
Speaker 3: Maybe if there's if the group is small enough, then
Speaker 3: the beta is like, I gotta at this back, I
Speaker 3: gotta switch this up.
Speaker 5: Well, what's funny is he tries to get one hen
Speaker 5: that's his girl, and he'll go off to the side,
Speaker 5: and then black He'll see it and he'll get jealous
Speaker 5: and he'll chase them off. So he's always kind of
Speaker 5: circling with his one girl that is sort of loyal
Speaker 5: to him. But if Blackie and then Blackie's got his girl,
Speaker 5: so he's usually not it's not a problem. But if
Speaker 5: he sees if it bugs him, will chase him away.
Speaker 4: Are they really girl? Is their intimacy do they have
Speaker 4: like this is my girlfriend right now?
Speaker 5: They do kind of have a favorite, you know.
Speaker 4: Boy, it's gotta get messy when that switches. It's like,
Speaker 4: well now he's the alpha and I'm seeing his girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that does get messy. And the hens any new
Speaker 5: if you introduce like a new adolescent chicken, like say
Speaker 5: you so sometimes they eat something and they'll die. They'll
Speaker 5: eat a piece of spring or plastic in the yard, whatever,
Speaker 5: and you get a new one. But we don't. We'll
Speaker 5: get adolescents. We don't get like the babies, and they
Speaker 5: get picked on. The new ones. The hens will be
Speaker 5: very like peck peck and make sure that they know
Speaker 5: that they're no big deal and stay away from my
Speaker 5: rooster kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: How is it as far as just having a pet?
Speaker 4: Are they like, Hey, I'm happy to see you, let's
Speaker 4: hang out. Is there any of that, like you know,
Speaker 4: like having a cat or a dog. Are they?
Speaker 5: Actually? They are curious and they do have personalities and
Speaker 5: some are more forward. But roosters always attack you, like
Speaker 5: if you're in the yard, they'll chase you away. Even
Speaker 5: if you raise them as a chick. There's no like
Speaker 5: memory of like, oh, he's the guy who took care
Speaker 5: of me when I was a baby, right, No gratitude,
Speaker 5: no gratitude. And then they're curious and they I think
Speaker 5: that I'm the parrot stimulus because I feed them. They
Speaker 5: always think it's feeding time when they see me, So
Speaker 5: as soon as I get out of the car, they'll
Speaker 5: all run and follow me. Yeah, And but the roosters
Speaker 5: will sneak up on you and peck you when you
Speaker 5: least expect it.
Speaker 4: Like if I just a stranger went into that coop,
Speaker 4: they would go straight from my face, right.
Speaker 5: They would run away. If the roosters were in there.
Speaker 5: They would go after your legs. They wouldn't. They don't
Speaker 5: get up high.
Speaker 4: I stayed at a I was doing a show in
Speaker 4: Denver and stayed at someone's house and they had a
Speaker 4: giant turkey in the backyard. And it was really intimidating
Speaker 4: and very related. Immediately I could tell to a dinosaur
Speaker 4: like talents, scaly talents and a way of like moving
Speaker 4: their head around that was very Jurassic to me.
Speaker 5: And they're weird looking, huh yeah, and mean, oh really yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't think I've been around turkeys.
Speaker 4: It was not a turkey. I would pardon, I would
Speaker 4: just let it happen.
Speaker 1: What aren't turkeys known to be kind of stupid.
Speaker 3: I think they're not as maybe not as threatening, only
Speaker 3: because they kind of can't get it together, right.
Speaker 4: The violence, this one felt towards me, who wasn't thinking
Speaker 4: it through.
Speaker 5: And do you think they're violent because of their insecurity
Speaker 5: about their intelligence? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know, college, I know everyone thinks that this sort
Speaker 4: of applies to humans.
Speaker 5: Who are you looking at? What do you what's going
Speaker 5: on over there? You got a problem?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And to make up for it, this turkey had
Speaker 4: a jacked up black truck.
Speaker 5: So scary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it was a turkey that knew
Speaker 4: what was going to be have a bad day on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: Not to get graphic, but I think.
Speaker 5: It was that you think they sense it.
Speaker 4: This was an actual guy raising turkeys for food, so he.
Speaker 1: Got a turkey.
Speaker 4: More than one turkey, there used to be more, And
Speaker 4: I didn't want to hear the story about that.
Speaker 1: Just Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: The story of yeah, the story of Thanksgiving and the
Speaker 4: buckles on the shoes. It gets pouring now when.
Speaker 3: Eggs, when the prices of eggs went through the roof,
Speaker 3: did you feel a sense of like accomplishment and like
Speaker 3: you had beaten the system?
Speaker 5: Because it's like it's nice to like grow your own food,
Speaker 5: especially like it started during the pandemic when nobody knew
Speaker 5: what was happening, and like there were people rushing the
Speaker 5: store and it's like, I don't know how long this
Speaker 5: is going to be weird, And so it is nice
Speaker 5: to grow your own food. It is. And I don't
Speaker 5: know that we saved a ton of money, But.
Speaker 4: Are we getting pulled over.
Speaker 5: By me? Wait?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's there.
Speaker 5: It's keep going. I'll tell you where it is. You
Speaker 5: got a wrong.
Speaker 3: Address Okay, I wondered, I'm like this blue house.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, it's a business. It's by the stables. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: thats a Questionna, that makes sense. But they may be closed,
Speaker 5: but we'll see it.
Speaker 1: People selling chicken feed out of their bedroom window.
Speaker 5: So you guys travel right for comedy.
Speaker 4: Yes, there are times when that's all I do, and
Speaker 4: now it's more periodic.
Speaker 5: But I was just in like Pennsylvania, in upstate New York,
Speaker 5: and I feel like houses are businesses more than they
Speaker 5: are in La in California, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Like that house would be like the tax guy and
Speaker 5: he would have a shingle, and that one would be
Speaker 5: like a shoe repair guy and he would have a
Speaker 5: thing right in front of the house. But it's like
Speaker 5: totally suburban area.
Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, I missed that. I used to live in Austin, Texas,
Speaker 4: and one there was no building codes. If you want
Speaker 4: to make your house four stories tall, it seems like
Speaker 4: you could just do it, really yeah, And so many
Speaker 4: houses were bars or corner stores real yeah, and little modification,
Speaker 4: just like, yep, we have a yellow curb and a sign,
Speaker 4: but it just looks like someone's house. And I thought
Speaker 4: that was so cool.
Speaker 5: That is cool.
Speaker 3: It is because then you can get a kit kat
Speaker 3: whenever you need it, wherever you need it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I I it's so weird when you find
Speaker 4: out after a couple of blocks you've been in a.
Speaker 1: Race, well, we beat you.
Speaker 5: A guy on the bike with it is funny during
Speaker 5: rush hour when the same bike keeps passing you, it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: you are winning.
Speaker 3: Ultimately, you are right in this argument, you are winning
Speaker 3: this race. I like the and this is I've seen
Speaker 3: it in Wisconsin, but I hear like it's also on
Speaker 3: the East coast. But the houses that are bars, so
Speaker 3: you're literally walking in and it's someone's living room, but
Speaker 3: it's a bar.
Speaker 5: I do too. I like that they have that around,
Speaker 5: like lambeau Field, when you go see a Packer game
Speaker 5: and you are literally in someone's like there's family pictures up.
Speaker 5: It's just like their living room, but it's a bar.
Speaker 5: Kind of great, it is. I find that interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that everyone in that neighborhood is part owner
Speaker 4: of the team, right, isn't that?
Speaker 5: Yes, the Packers are owned by like the municipality.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how Dell Computers used.
Speaker 5: To be, Is that right? Like the town owned it.
Speaker 4: Well. I remember when I keep bringing up Boston, I'm
Speaker 4: leading up to my big talk about the Big Stinking
Speaker 4: Improv Festival, and if we ever went to Clapp means
Speaker 4: you did. But yeah, it like early on I think
Speaker 4: you could. It was a publicly traded much like Test,
Speaker 4: I believe. But there are people that never worked for Dell.
Speaker 4: They just were an early investor in it or a stockholder.
Speaker 4: I know very little about finance. And now there are
Speaker 4: just kids Outwharred Dell used to be where the comedy
Speaker 4: club Cap City now is, and it's young people in
Speaker 4: Lamborghini's and it's like a lot of people got rich
Speaker 4: off of Dell in a way that again I don't
Speaker 4: understand and feel I shouldn't have brought up. But I
Speaker 4: was in an improv group in Montana and we went
Speaker 4: the Big Stinking Improv School. There was only there a
Speaker 4: couple of years, and I don't recall if you and
Speaker 4: the Upright Citizens.
Speaker 5: Brigade they do the Big Stinking Improv.
Speaker 4: I just remember the learning about that all good improvisers
Speaker 4: are basically from Chicago or you know, a lot like
Speaker 4: there was we did the annoyance that Joe Bill guy
Speaker 4: was there and we learned about horse sighting.
Speaker 5: Yes, right past the horse Reynolds, you'll pull in to
Speaker 5: the parking lot. I like that.
Speaker 4: Instead of a sign, they just have horses in the area.
Speaker 5: This parking lot here care. I don't know if they're open,
Speaker 5: like so, I'll just see this. It's the best. But
Speaker 5: they might close. I don't know. You guys keep talking.
Speaker 4: No, we have little breaks all the time.
Speaker 5: You do. This could be really quick.
Speaker 4: We have treats for you too. We only ate a
Speaker 4: few of them. They're munchkins. They're very similar to a
Speaker 4: doughnut hole. Just a single peanut. It comes back with
Speaker 4: the peanut.
Speaker 3: Could you get me three more peanuts?
Speaker 5: Oh? No, they close it five. Oh they were ship
Speaker 5: that's okay.
Speaker 7: Other errand okay, I have to go to lens crafers
Speaker 7: You guys about super boring, brilliant offer.
Speaker 4: Can I not.
Speaker 5: Exploit you guys. I mean, that's the guy who would
Speaker 5: have loaded my chicken, and I always tip them a dollar.
Speaker 5: You guys talk about tipping on one episode. That's why
Speaker 5: I was like, whenever somebody loads something, I do give
Speaker 5: them cash. Oh of course I've never driven through here.
Speaker 4: I think because it never hit it.
Speaker 5: I always back out.
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to go down a dirt road if
Speaker 1: you need to.
Speaker 5: They where you're from.
Speaker 3: From Petaluma up in northern California, Okay, and we actually
Speaker 3: it's pretty pretty small when on writers from there.
Speaker 1: But we did four.
Speaker 3: H growing up, and so, oh wow, we did chickens
Speaker 3: because they were like easier. My aunt had a farm.
Speaker 3: We did sheep, and she kept the sheep on her farm.
Speaker 3: But then we did chickens and my dad just built
Speaker 3: a coop and we had like four chickens and of
Speaker 3: course named them and got really involved with them, and
Speaker 3: then yeah, something killed one night. Yeah, it's they all
Speaker 3: died very terribly one night where it was like, oh,
Speaker 3: no more of that, like no more getting attached to
Speaker 3: farm animals.
Speaker 5: Yeah, every critter, including humans, loves to eat Chickensn't you
Speaker 5: get chickens? The word is out. Yeah, coyotes, hawks, possums, hobos,
Speaker 5: everybody is on the lookout to slaughter those things. They're
Speaker 5: so delicious, they really are, and the poor animals, like
Speaker 5: it always happens, it always ends in tragedy. Egg chickens
Speaker 5: they could survive. Was that the bike different? Different one?
Speaker 4: The other guy has changed outfits and is lying on
Speaker 4: his couch waiting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and should we go to lens crafters? Absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 5: all right, let's go laugh.
Speaker 4: I think, what are you getting a new lens?
Speaker 5: Tell me if I'm being an annoying guest, by the way,
Speaker 5: by having you do errands? No, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 4: No. It used to be we used to go to
Speaker 4: the airport and swear and sweat the whole time because
Speaker 4: we thought our guests would miss a flight. Like anything
Speaker 4: is less stressful than that.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. I would never do that here. I
Speaker 5: never even asked people to pick me up at the airport. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's so stressful.
Speaker 4: No one should ask.
Speaker 5: Let's go left here, and I think I can give us. Yeah,
Speaker 5: chickens are like the delicious thing that everybody wants to kill. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but that's cool. You were in the four h that's
Speaker 5: real farm.
Speaker 1: It was pretty farmy.
Speaker 3: I mean we were like the furthest out from it.
Speaker 3: My dad used to joke that we were like gentlemen farmers.
Speaker 3: But it was actually kind of a fun. I like
Speaker 3: that people are getting into it now because it does
Speaker 3: make sense. It's like people during COVID, Like I'm going
Speaker 3: to learn to make bread, and I'm going to learn
Speaker 3: to do all these things, like, right, we should all
Speaker 3: know how to do stuff like this, yeah, or like
Speaker 3: raise animals or whatever.
Speaker 4: And then also doing it yourself and not being part
Speaker 4: of all those industries, which, if you look into them,
Speaker 4: are all bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And it's kind of like greener because you're reusing
Speaker 5: like your table scraps to feed the chickens. And then
Speaker 5: my friends give me their used egg cartons and then
Speaker 5: I give them eggs, you know, And it's kind of
Speaker 5: like a little there's less trucking involved in the whole process,
Speaker 5: do you know what I mean. Yeah, it's a smaller,
Speaker 5: tinier improvement I guess on your footprint.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's funny how any interest in it will lead
Speaker 4: towards some level of environmentalism.
Speaker 5: I think so, I think it is a little bit.
Speaker 5: I mean, I still I'm disgusted with how much consumerism
Speaker 5: rules our lives. But yes, it's so crazy, isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like in the nineties when I was in college
Speaker 3: and there would be people who would talk about capitalism
Speaker 3: and fuck capitalism, I'd be like, what are you talking?
Speaker 1: That's just how everything works.
Speaker 3: And now the idea that that's kind of becoming the
Speaker 3: way the thing people are talking about of like this,
Speaker 3: this is crushing all of us.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I get it now, this makes sense.
Speaker 3: We don't all need one thousand choices of a plastic thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not just the thing the kid with the
Speaker 4: mohawk writes on his notebook.
Speaker 5: There's actually a lot of it's.
Speaker 4: Real, a lot of meaning.
Speaker 5: The Anarchy kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Anarchy kid.
Speaker 4: It's so funny. It's just a cool logo. I was
Speaker 4: writing Anarchy Dead Kennedy's a band. I had not listened
Speaker 4: to just intographic design more than anything.
Speaker 5: I studied abroad in Austria my junior year of college,
Speaker 5: and when I moved back, I went to college in
Speaker 5: northern Illinois. We rented a house with some friends and
Speaker 5: there were those anarchy people had written anarchy everywhere and
Speaker 5: it's the same slogan as like a Austria sticker on
Speaker 5: a car. So I thought people were really into Austria
Speaker 5: all that the people who lived there before us were
Speaker 5: really into Austria. That's so random, Like I was just
Speaker 5: in Austria. It looks just like that sticker that people
Speaker 5: in Austria put on the back of their bumper, the Austria,
Speaker 5: the A with the circle around it, and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: I wonder if I knew them?
Speaker 4: So funny.
Speaker 5: Isn't that funny? That is hilarious. This must be the
Speaker 5: transfer student.
Speaker 3: House also, because Austria is it kind of an obscure
Speaker 3: of all the countries that I've ever heard of. People
Speaker 3: like going to was it? Did it have to do
Speaker 3: with your major?
Speaker 5: Or were you? Like?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 5: A girl on my dorm floor freshman year came back
Speaker 5: and she was a friend and she's like, you have
Speaker 5: to go to Austria for it because our school had
Speaker 5: an exchange program. Like why, She's like, because we traveled everywhere.
Speaker 5: It's in the middle of Europe and every weekend we
Speaker 5: went to Italy and Hungary and Poland and Norway and
Speaker 5: we were back for school on Funday's old and so
Speaker 5: I'm like, maybe I will. And she planted the seed
Speaker 5: and then I junior year, I didn't know what I
Speaker 5: was doing. I was kind of lost. I'm like can
Speaker 5: I I asked my parents. They said, you can go
Speaker 5: for a year, and it was affordable, and they ended
Speaker 5: up going for a whole year.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, and what was it like, I mean, can
Speaker 1: you give.
Speaker 5: Us a little?
Speaker 4: Was it like Lilly Walka?
Speaker 5: It was very good chocolate, very good beer. It was
Speaker 5: American student living basically in the stables for from the
Speaker 5: Sound of Music in Salzburg, Austria. It was gorgeous, but
Speaker 5: it was the castle stables and our school was the stables.
Speaker 5: It was a bunch of kids from Rochester Institute of
Speaker 5: Design that were photography students, and then a bunch of
Speaker 5: kids from Miami, of Ohio and Northern Illinois. Different schools
Speaker 5: had American programs over there, and all the everyone lived
Speaker 5: with the Austrian family. Oh. Yeah, it was pretty interesting
Speaker 5: and it was wonderful and I had to learn to
Speaker 5: speak German.
Speaker 4: And yeah, and you were there a whole year.
Speaker 5: I was there a whole year. In the month between semesters,
Speaker 5: my roommate was from there was a bunch of kids
Speaker 5: from Tokyo, Japan that were part of the program. Weirdly,
Speaker 5: and my roommate was from Tokyo. So the month between
Speaker 5: the fall and winter we lived. We basically lived in Turkey.
Speaker 5: We knocked around Turkey because it was so cheap and
Speaker 5: I'd never been to Turkey, and that was like mind
Speaker 5: bogglingly interesting.
Speaker 3: I want to go to Turkey really bad because they
Speaker 3: have all those really old mosaics. Did you go to
Speaker 3: the Mosaic Museum where it's basically like they're from three
Speaker 3: thousand years ago.
Speaker 5: Uh, there's a town called Ephesis that they brought back
Speaker 5: all these mosaics. But I don't know if it's the
Speaker 5: where the museum is. You can go left here. I
Speaker 5: think this might service, but I don't know. But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's what's amazing about Turkey is there's so much ancient
Speaker 5: history there and it's not like Greece, Like everybody thinks
Speaker 5: Greece had everything, but they had tons of stuff happening
Speaker 5: in that area too. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anywhere you go you realize how much older everywhere
Speaker 4: is than America.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like Italy. You're in a seven eleven and then
Speaker 5: there's a column in the parking lot that's two thousand
Speaker 5: BC and it's got a plaque on It's like what. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, when I was in England, i went through
Speaker 4: a graveyard because you know, it's kind of cool that
Speaker 4: see that people died in sixteen eighty or whatever. And
Speaker 4: I saw a tombstone from the seventeen hundreds and it
Speaker 4: was the guy's name, and it wrote he had the quote, help,
Speaker 4: there's beetles and worms down here.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: And to me, that that a guy hundreds of years
Speaker 4: ago wanted that joke on his tombstone made me so happy,
Speaker 4: Like a joke tombstone and this guy was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he died of old age at forty and wanted it
Speaker 4: was just so great to me.
Speaker 5: That's pretty fun.
Speaker 4: I love.
Speaker 5: There was one I think it was another English one.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there's the Lenscraft there it is, I think
Speaker 5: on his tombstone said born a man, died a baker.
Speaker 5: Oh that's great funny.
Speaker 4: Oh that's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is kind of fun to like. I don't
Speaker 5: know that I would. I mean, I guess I haven't
Speaker 5: planned on doing it. Having a comic that's half on
Speaker 5: your tombstone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's figure him out.
Speaker 5: That would be like ballsy.
Speaker 4: I think that. That's what I'm impressed with the most
Speaker 4: people that aren't horrified to die, That's that's that's what
Speaker 4: I'm impressed.
Speaker 5: Well, kind of doesn't matter either, obviously you're gone right right.
Speaker 5: Your family might be like, oh no, we don't want that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's when you say, don't be selfish. This
Speaker 1: is my tombstone.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, that's what I'll put on my tombstone.
Speaker 5: There it is.
Speaker 4: Shut up, mom, I mean here combing my hair. Stop knocking.
Speaker 5: Now. Have you guys ever been to a Lens Crafters?
Speaker 5: Does that interest you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I've I'm a Warby Parker guy.
Speaker 5: I normally am too, but I was in a rush
Speaker 5: and I lost my glasses when I was out of state,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I just called them and said, can
Speaker 5: you just print me up another pair of one?
Speaker 4: That's what I did. I got these exact lenses, went
Speaker 4: to the improv. They were two days old. I set
Speaker 4: them down somewhere, someone grabbed them assuming, hey, these are
Speaker 4: my Warby Parkers in a case and they never were
Speaker 4: found again. I've went and bought the exact same ones. Yeah,
Speaker 4: here's five hundred dollars again away exactly.
Speaker 1: Which Also, there's it's all it's all marked up. Well
Speaker 1: you'll see when you.
Speaker 5: Go in there. You'll see when you go what do
Speaker 5: you mean, what do you what am I going to see? Well?
Speaker 3: It just they cost thirty five dollars to make about
Speaker 3: your we all pay eight hundred dollars to get glasses
Speaker 3: and it's just a scam.
Speaker 5: I know it is a scam. I prepaid. I think
Speaker 5: it's gonna I think it came in around five hundred. Everything.
Speaker 4: We're just getting you excited by letting you know it's
Speaker 4: a ripoff. But they're needed, they're needed.
Speaker 5: I know, all right, we'll be back with Matt Walsh.
Speaker 4: I've never done that.
Speaker 1: I know that's cool.
Speaker 4: It's just something different, yes, but.
Speaker 5: Also, what's fucking Mott Walsh? Like?
Speaker 1: Do what you want?
Speaker 4: Little breaks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're the coolest.
Speaker 4: You have to bring up a time when you guys
Speaker 4: were hung out, so we.
Speaker 1: Didn't, though I can't. I went out.
Speaker 3: I dated a guy that was kind of like friends
Speaker 3: with him, but more of like just worshiped him, and
Speaker 3: so I met him once through that guy. But this
Speaker 3: was literally the year two thousand, so I was completely
Speaker 3: just assuming, especially with the career he's had, right, I
Speaker 3: was just like, it's nice to meet you, and I
Speaker 3: fucking do that every time where you don't have to
Speaker 3: say those words and you can slip out of any
Speaker 3: social awkwardness, and I just do it every time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I started saying, because it's usable if you have
Speaker 4: met someone or not. I just always say it's good
Speaker 4: to see you. Yeah, I don't say again, you know
Speaker 4: it's good to see you. No, I did mean for
Speaker 4: the first time.
Speaker 1: And you can't prove I didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I used to actually get my glasses at this Lenscrafter's
Speaker 8: because I worked close by and lived to look like
Speaker 8: And it was so frustrating because I'd always be like, yeah,
Speaker 8: I just don't want these rectangular you know, like it
Speaker 8: was like early two thousands and everything was like rectangular,
Speaker 8: back rectangular glasses.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, could I get a different kind?
Speaker 1: And it was just like there was no other options.
Speaker 4: Those are back now they shan't be I. I really
Speaker 4: don't like them, and I see them sometimes. Or round ones.
Speaker 4: Oh man. My sister got me some readers that were
Speaker 4: just wears walldow round.
Speaker 5: And what like.
Speaker 4: I thought you they're quirky.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, Chris, look at me right now.
Speaker 5: Those are different.
Speaker 4: Those look like they flip up, you know what I'm
Speaker 4: talking about. These were turtle shell Sally Jesse, Raphael, small
Speaker 4: little guys, but those are round and cool. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just a personality.
Speaker 5: Did you get I'm wearing them.
Speaker 1: Those are are those?
Speaker 5: There are great?
Speaker 4: You can't go wrong with that classic aviator.
Speaker 5: And then they asked me, tell me what I know,
Speaker 5: what were you guys talking about. I don't want to
Speaker 5: be rude.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to listen to the episode.
Speaker 5: Talking let him in. Doesn't he look old?
Speaker 4: That's that limp and it's.
Speaker 3: And then you have a totally different experience and you're like,
Speaker 3: that was really I love that.
Speaker 4: It felt like on a Saturday with old friends. Did
Speaker 4: you want to bring up the other that guy?
Speaker 3: Oh, just just to say, have you ever had problems
Speaker 3: with people mistaking you for the right wing pundit Matt Walsh.
Speaker 5: Not in person but on the internets. Yeah, not lately,
Speaker 5: but yeah, because he's very He's like a conservative provocateur
Speaker 5: who says awful things to get the left all wound up.
Speaker 5: And then people come at me. Oh no, I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm not him. I don't.
Speaker 4: I didn't write a book, you know, so people do
Speaker 4: come at you.
Speaker 5: Not lately, like I think it's kind of known. But
Speaker 5: when he's like spiking or trending after some awful thing
Speaker 5: he said, someone out of the woodwork will come out
Speaker 5: of nowhere and find maybe follow me for the first
Speaker 5: day or something, you know what I mean, And you're
Speaker 5: an asshole, And I'm like, or I don't respond.
Speaker 1: Right, But did you take money from Russia?
Speaker 5: Though too, I've never taken money from Russia. I didn't
Speaker 5: make a movie about what is a woman? I don't
Speaker 5: poke the left and say things I don't necessarily believe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was almost worth? When I first moved to
Speaker 4: Los Angeles, there was a I'm Chris Fairbanks and this
Speaker 4: guy's Christopher Fairbanks and he was he had been on
Speaker 4: Comedy Control and he had done some stand up, but
Speaker 4: he is mostly an actor, and he had been on
Speaker 4: that TV show Hunter. But but we didn't look he
Speaker 4: was tall. He looked like Martin Mule from Night Court
Speaker 4: or you know, that kind of a figure.
Speaker 5: And that's where the good Donut place is right over there.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's that's that's a good one.
Speaker 4: That's like one from the Donut Kids documentary.
Speaker 5: But did it? But did it limit you or were
Speaker 5: you confused?
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't understand. First of all, I
Speaker 4: don't know what IMDb is. I'm not worried about credit.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what you're talking. He was concerned
Speaker 4: more than I was, and was coming to shows that
Speaker 4: I was doing really and like, hey, we gotta take
Speaker 4: care of this.
Speaker 5: Uh, take care of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. He was worried that I was going to go
Speaker 4: by Christopher because that was He's like, do you just
Speaker 4: go by Chris or Christopher? I said, I'll just go
Speaker 4: by Chris, and you go by Christopher and keep being
Speaker 4: a foot taller than me, and and yeah and then
Speaker 4: and I still talk to him every now and then.
Speaker 4: He's actually a nice guy. But what made it weird
Speaker 4: was we both had comedy credits.
Speaker 5: Was his sag name the same as yours?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he went by Christopher. I've always kind of wanted
Speaker 4: to go by Christopher. I thought it sounded more professional,
Speaker 4: but it makes people think of that Columbus prick.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 4: So I just stayed Chris and he's Christopher, and that
Speaker 4: was the end of it.
Speaker 3: I would be scared if someone showed up at a
Speaker 3: show to discuss the business they believed that we had. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that would be I would be like, I can't, I
Speaker 3: can't talk multiple times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes really, But then he was really nice about it.
Speaker 4: I just I was like, oh he was free again
Speaker 4: tonight also, but yeah, it it, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 4: talking bad.
Speaker 5: About no, no, no, no, that's clearly probably everyone. He's scrolling
Speaker 5: through a name checking all of that episode.
Speaker 4: He finally mentioned me.
Speaker 5: Well, he was being I think he was being an
Speaker 5: adult about it. But that would be nervous and intimidated.
Speaker 5: If somebody started coming by my shows and going, hey man,
Speaker 5: we got to talk about the name thing. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 5: be like, uh, whatever you want. Yeah I was.
Speaker 4: I was still in my twenties, and yes, he very
Speaker 4: much was an adult, and that's why it was intimidated.
Speaker 4: I probably didn't know how to talk back then. I've
Speaker 4: only learned in recent years how to communicate with other
Speaker 4: adult men.
Speaker 1: You've gotten.
Speaker 5: Wait practice, Are there any Karen Kilgarriffs.
Speaker 3: Yes, my cousin John actually married a woman named Karen,
Speaker 3: So there's there's a Karen kill Gariff that I get
Speaker 3: to talk to like a couple times a year, who
Speaker 3: uh from when my podcast got popular, reports to me
Speaker 3: all the shit that happens to her because of that.
Speaker 3: So there's like an actual and she lives in Sacramento,
Speaker 3: which is where I tried to go to college but
Speaker 3: didn't do a very good job at it, so that's
Speaker 3: kind of funny.
Speaker 4: Just out of interest, and who else has my name?
Speaker 4: There was like a professional bodybuilder that had won some
Speaker 4: national competitions and a fireman that did a lot of
Speaker 4: heroic things during nine to eleven. Oh and so I.
Speaker 1: Was sorry, two different people.
Speaker 4: These are all Chris Fairbanks's but different guys.
Speaker 5: Bodybuilder is not the fire different guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but it's just Google imaging usually looking for myself.
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden there's a ripped guy
Speaker 4: and a patriotic hero, and then and then five more
Speaker 4: and then me. But I was I had the meeting
Speaker 4: where they're like, so what do you I didn't know
Speaker 4: it was a pitch meeting because I was young and
Speaker 4: dumb and full of you know, I'm sorry all the time,
Speaker 4: so things like yeah, exactly exactly, I should have just
Speaker 4: said it anyway, I act I pitched, Oh what about
Speaker 4: I don't know, a reality show where I lived with
Speaker 4: this other comedian Chris Fairbanks and a fireman named Chris
Speaker 4: Fairbanks and a bodybuilder named Chris Fairbanks and we have
Speaker 4: to live in a house. And it was during reality
Speaker 4: house shows being what everyone wanted and they were like,
Speaker 4: we like that. I'm like, oh no, and I I
Speaker 4: just didn't pick up the phone for a while. That
Speaker 4: problem solved it.
Speaker 5: I solved it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3: You sold a show in the room and you're like, Nope,
Speaker 3: this isn't gonna work.
Speaker 4: It got a slight green thumb.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah it should. You scared yourself.
Speaker 4: I did. How long were the Upright Citizens Brigade a
Speaker 4: group before it was a TV show or did it
Speaker 4: happen around the same time.
Speaker 5: We were a group in the early nineties in Chicago
Speaker 5: and we got a TV show in ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Okay, it was a great TV show.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 5: I really loved watching it.
Speaker 4: Was it on MTV or Comedy Central?
Speaker 5: Comedy Central?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I brought up MTV. There's that goddamn group
Speaker 4: the state.
Speaker 5: We were kids. Yeah you guys, Oh yeah, Well they
Speaker 5: had a show when we landed in New York, and
Speaker 5: I think it was just ending when we got to
Speaker 5: New York.
Speaker 4: How mad do you want to But I'm.
Speaker 5: Friends with like David Wayne and all those guys. Tom
Speaker 5: Lennon like it doesn't Yeah.
Speaker 4: I noticed you didn't say Michael Lean Black.
Speaker 5: Mich Lean Black. I've done shows with Michael and Black. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I visited his house in Savannah, Georgia.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I know, hole, I dug a hole.
Speaker 5: No I know. Yeah, yeah, we get along swimmingly.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Really like the nineties competition though, was its own era.
Speaker 3: And then also I think it made people like try
Speaker 3: really hard.
Speaker 5: It's like you.
Speaker 3: Guys wanted to, you know, as good, if not beat
Speaker 3: the state, that's always good.
Speaker 5: Were you part of mister show? I was part of
Speaker 5: mister performing, just performing, just performing? Yeah really yeah, that
Speaker 5: was like a standard that was I would see shows
Speaker 5: when you guys were taping I think before we had
Speaker 5: a show.
Speaker 1: Oh really.
Speaker 5: I would come to LA for whatever pilot season, and
Speaker 5: I knew people like you know, Jerry Minor that were
Speaker 5: circling Yeah, yeah, Hoffman and so I knew them from Chicago,
Speaker 5: and so I would go see tape things and I
Speaker 5: loosely got to know Bob. Do you leave it a
Speaker 5: little bit?
Speaker 3: Maybe such a cool like happenstance for me where like
Speaker 3: obviously didn't know those guys, moved to LA and just
Speaker 3: we all started doing shows at the same place, and
Speaker 3: so it was kind of like a little group formed
Speaker 3: just purely around more of the people, like people that
Speaker 3: everybody liked to drink together. And then it was like,
Speaker 3: but we also are doing the show, and then we
Speaker 3: all think the other people are funny. It was like,
Speaker 3: what a great, I don't know, what a lucky thing
Speaker 3: to be able to kind of fall into that those relationships.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I agree, and I think that's the easier
Speaker 5: part of being a sketch performer versus a stand up
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there's that community and a bit of camaraderie
Speaker 5: and you do things together, you collaborate together, but you
Speaker 5: also drink too much together.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I did love the drinking part.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I moved to Austin fully intending on doing improv and
Speaker 4: then just started doing stand up. And it was so
Speaker 4: hard to do both that I just because I wasn't
Speaker 4: presented with a group that like, oh, these are all
Speaker 4: my friends and I could see myself hanging out with them.
Speaker 4: If you don't have that going into it, maybe it's
Speaker 4: harder to think about. Yeah, but scan ups just by
Speaker 4: yourself and I could be lazy and not show up.
Speaker 4: It's only me that I'm disappointed.
Speaker 5: Stand up's harder, though, I think it's a much harder
Speaker 5: art form.
Speaker 3: Well it's but I took a I don't know, I
Speaker 3: took an improv class, probably like around two thousand and
Speaker 3: two or something. I was so scared. It was from
Speaker 3: Chris Barnes.
Speaker 5: I know who he is. Yeah, he's a Chicago guy.
Speaker 3: Loved him, Yes, such a good teacher. And I went
Speaker 3: with my friend who was actually signed up for the class,
Speaker 3: and she made me go and I was like, final,
Speaker 3: I'll just go and then we're going out after it.
Speaker 3: And I was like final'll just sit in the back
Speaker 3: and I'll say I'm auditing. And of course Chris Barnes
Speaker 3: was like, no, no, no, get up here. You're doing
Speaker 3: it with us, and I was like oh. And it
Speaker 3: was that kind of thing where it's like I'm such
Speaker 3: a control freak and I don't the way I'm used
Speaker 3: to being funny is like all my idea and I
Speaker 3: don't no one else is involved. And that idea of
Speaker 3: like no, no, you have to first of all not
Speaker 3: be funny and just figure out a reality and then
Speaker 3: be there and then figure something out together.
Speaker 1: Everything about that was so scary to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah that is scary, but you're
Speaker 5: not having to deliver a laugh. Yeah, and the beauty
Speaker 5: of so yeah, that is scary. I understand that. But
Speaker 5: I feel like stand up because I did stand up
Speaker 5: in Chicago for probably a year and a half in
Speaker 5: like say early nineties, late eighties, and it was like
Speaker 5: kind of like anyone who had fifteen minutes was like
Speaker 5: going up to Milwaukee and doing a half hour, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. It was the boom and so
Speaker 5: they were just grabbing you and making you perform more
Speaker 5: than you had material for. Yeah, and that was a
Speaker 5: roller coaster of up and down, just like good nights,
Speaker 5: bad nights. But you're like alone in a hotel in Milwaukee,
Speaker 5: and like the whole audience hated you, and then you're like,
Speaker 5: am I worthy of hate? Maybe they are right, Maybe
Speaker 5: this self loathing that I'm feeling is justified.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still the hardest part is the hotel room
Speaker 4: by yourself afterwards.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why you gotta love law and order because
Speaker 3: law and order will be there and if you if
Speaker 3: you meet law and order halfway, you'll be fine.
Speaker 5: It'll like help you forget.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really it did for me.
Speaker 4: That soothing ping pong and you.
Speaker 5: Were able to you were able to say I am
Speaker 5: funny those people.
Speaker 1: God damn it.
Speaker 5: That's great because I don't think I found that that
Speaker 5: show or that I don't know that practice. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: didn't have that practice. It was like hard to shake,
Speaker 5: but it was really cool.
Speaker 3: Like the lesson I learned an improv, which is kind
Speaker 3: of like, how about you relax and let something fun
Speaker 3: happen as opposed to actually believing that you're going to
Speaker 3: control this into hilarity.
Speaker 5: Like that was it.
Speaker 3: It was a great experience and kind of like after
Speaker 3: a while, I was like, oh, this makes so much
Speaker 3: more sense, and the skill set is such a larger
Speaker 3: skill set than just listen to me.
Speaker 5: Right, there's all the things I made up.
Speaker 4: I would I would panic and go for a laugh,
Speaker 4: and I could hear the rest of the group kind
Speaker 4: of disappointingly sigh because I and I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 4: maybe bad at this, and all I want is to
Speaker 4: get laughs and it's at the expense of what everyone
Speaker 4: else was trying to build in that moment, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: maybe I'm not good at this.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think my early improve mistakes were like, oh,
Speaker 5: I know how to be funny. You just talk all
Speaker 5: the time. Yeah, and I shudder to think how terrible
Speaker 5: I must have been in my earliest, earliest shows. Yeah,
Speaker 5: me trying to feel silence.
Speaker 4: It's like, no, totally, if I stop talking, I'll hear
Speaker 4: that they're not laughing. If I just rattle through it, yeah,
Speaker 4: I still do that. But it's so even. It seems
Speaker 4: like with stand up. The first guys I opened for,
Speaker 4: like Bob Zaney, wasn't he let's here's Chicago guy. Oh, uncle,
Speaker 4: Larry Reap, Like there was all these.
Speaker 5: Guys that they were around when I was doing it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would travel and surprise, You're in a condo
Speaker 4: with this guy that's been doing it for twenty five
Speaker 4: years already, and they seem to not enjoy it. And
Speaker 4: I'm just getting excited about it. But it seems like
Speaker 4: everyonemost everyone I opened for John Bizarre, everyone was from Chicago,
Speaker 4: all of the stand ups. You are from such a
Speaker 4: because you grew up near Chicago, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I I was born in the South Side and lived
Speaker 5: in Chicago, so I was like eleven or twelve, and
Speaker 5: then we moved to the suburbs. So yeah, I spent
Speaker 5: like most of my life in the Chicago area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so cool and and yeah I got lucky
Speaker 4: growing up in Montana. Of course, it's not even an option.
Speaker 4: It's I had to like act a fly fall into it.
Speaker 5: But did you go to first La or first to Austin? I?
Speaker 4: Uh, first to Austin. Yeah, and and stayed there a
Speaker 4: few years. And I just followed a girlfriend that had
Speaker 4: like her life planned and was like, I'm going to
Speaker 4: teach at U T and then and I was like
Speaker 4: can I come? And then she was like you should
Speaker 4: do stand up? Like thank god she was there to
Speaker 4: make me start doing it because I probably would have
Speaker 4: just drank and skateboarded. Yeah, so it's but yeah, all
Speaker 4: the we studied Chicago. The fact that you studied with
Speaker 4: that del like you knew Dell close when he's alive
Speaker 4: and worked with him, right.
Speaker 5: I did. I took classes with That's great.
Speaker 4: Clothes so great because we've read the book. I remember
Speaker 4: my first start. We like got that truth and Comedy
Speaker 4: book and like, okay, we have to read this and
Speaker 4: learn and went to Austin for the big stinking and
Speaker 4: I guess maybe we meant the naked babies guys. Yes,
Speaker 4: and that's they went there. Yeah, yeah, and we were like, well,
Speaker 4: let's we were somehow in like a long form thing
Speaker 4: with that. All we had ever done was short games
Speaker 4: like freeze tag and stuff. I didn't even know about
Speaker 4: this world of long form and haralds and sketches. And
Speaker 4: I saw how good they were, and I was like, eh,
Speaker 4: I think that's what talked me into doing.
Speaker 5: I don't want to have that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Rob Cordrey and all those guys.
Speaker 5: Well it's funny, I know, Rob and Husky and Seth and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're still the sweetest guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think cord told me when they did that
Speaker 5: festival for the first time, they were so new they
Speaker 5: thought like, wow, how do we handle it when all
Speaker 5: these managers and agents come to us after our show
Speaker 5: at the big change, Like they thought it was all
Speaker 5: going to change, because that I think was one of
Speaker 5: their first breaks. So funny, but we all have that like, wow,
Speaker 5: it's gonna all change after like you know, my show's
Speaker 5: on Comedy Central for four episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that too, and I thought that they
Speaker 4: had been doing it forever. Yeah, they were so good
Speaker 4: at it and I learned a lot from them, And
Speaker 4: then when I moved here, they were working at your
Speaker 4: the the UCB at Franklin, like or at least Seth
Speaker 4: was there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was an artistic director there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. How much were you a part of opening those
Speaker 4: those theaters?
Speaker 5: Well, the one in La, I mean I opened them all.
Speaker 5: The one in La didn't open until like me and
Speaker 5: Ian got out here, but I think Best was here
Speaker 5: for a couple of years sure, and then the Franklin
Speaker 5: space opened when like Ian and I were out here,
Speaker 5: So it was kind of like, once we were all
Speaker 5: in one city, we were like, we should probably open
Speaker 5: one here. So yeah, idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean just because there was enough stand
Speaker 4: up going on at least once or twice a week
Speaker 4: that I felt like that was kind of my oddly
Speaker 4: my home stand up club, and I wasn't doing any
Speaker 4: of the the learning that the school taught.
Speaker 5: It was just like the comedy Bang Bang and stuff
Speaker 5: you were. Yeah. Yeah that was at Death Ray Comedy
Speaker 5: death Rays. Yeah, yeah, that was a big show.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was which used to be an m bar right.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's where the other Christopher Fairbanks first approached me.
Speaker 5: Oh, is there a plaque like where you guys had
Speaker 5: your sit down and brokeer the piece. I have.
Speaker 4: Just perfectly symmetrical handshake and had that bronze Yeah, yeah
Speaker 4: that was Are you serious?
Speaker 5: This is a sticky one. Yeah, this is not a
Speaker 5: could we do this?
Speaker 4: It's funny that we just were talking about how terrifying is.
Speaker 5: Hang to you? Yeah? Do that? Yeah you did it.
Speaker 5: Tricky one. It's not a great one.
Speaker 1: I knew. I thought they stayed back a little far
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to guess what people are up to
Speaker 5: on that.
Speaker 3: So living so close to that, do you experience that
Speaker 3: or do you kind of have it down here?
Speaker 5: I kind of know how to play it. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: I wasn't thinking I was having a conversation. I should
Speaker 5: have been a better no, no, no assistant. Look at this
Speaker 5: little theater. Isn't that cool? I didn't know that was there.
Speaker 5: The brick house, brick house theater shot out to the
Speaker 5: brick house guys. Yeah theater are still alive.
Speaker 4: Still, Yeah, we're brand new with the vintage looking sign.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was going to ask you guys. When I
Speaker 5: got my glasses, they asked me for the warranty. Do
Speaker 5: you guys ever get warranties when you buy like a
Speaker 5: stereo or a TV? Or a pair of glasses that.
Speaker 4: The word warranty just means my dad, Like it's something
Speaker 4: my dad would do, and of course I should, but no, no, I.
Speaker 5: Never do ever. Because I asked her, I'm like, well,
Speaker 5: so does it cover him if I lose them? And
Speaker 5: she's like, no, just if something like is broken, but
Speaker 5: only up.
Speaker 1: To a certain point.
Speaker 3: Probably Yeah, and it's two hundred and fifty bucks or something.
Speaker 5: I didn't ask. I didn't go down that road.
Speaker 4: One thing we all three of us should do when
Speaker 4: we purchase our next pocket computer iPhone, it's for eleven
Speaker 4: bucks a month. You get the lost or stolen insurance.
Speaker 5: I think we have that on our plan, our family plan.
Speaker 5: I think that is worth it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine getting a new phone, losing it and
Speaker 4: then continuing to pay for it. That's what would I mean?
Speaker 6: That's yeah, yeah, that would be a nasty Luckily, because
Speaker 6: an iPhone is like if you had no discount and
Speaker 6: you wanted to get the what are they on sixteen?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is that like twelve hundred dollars? I don't even know,
Speaker 5: like without a trading value, right.
Speaker 4: Because I wanted to keep my old one as my Hey,
Speaker 4: let me try and become a TikTok comedian filming phone, and.
Speaker 5: This will motivate me.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to have the twelve hundred dollars one
Speaker 4: on a tripod in the back of a dark room,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. Let me the one that
Speaker 4: has an amazing camera. I'll keep that in my pants.
Speaker 4: And the old one, oh, I'll just get a new one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It's we should all get warranties, is the point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my new filmmaker identity requires me to get the
Speaker 5: most expensive and get me a tripod.
Speaker 3: My thing is that for warranties, do I know where
Speaker 3: that paperwork is when the thing happens, because I can't
Speaker 3: keep track of anything. Yeah, And oftentimes it feels like
Speaker 3: anytime you're like, oh wait, maybe the warranty could help
Speaker 3: me out here, it's like that expired three weeks ago. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 3: so there's a there is a timing issue. It's like
Speaker 3: you're paying, but but you're only being covered for a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 5: It feels like, yeah, and if it's a good like
Speaker 5: if it's Sony or like a ken More dishwasher, they
Speaker 5: have a good warranty from the company, hopefully right they have.
Speaker 5: That's the hope is that. Yeah, you're you're still covered
Speaker 5: for most of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on their computer somewhere.
Speaker 1: Should I go around? Should I?
Speaker 5: You can go around and we'll figure out. Like I
Speaker 5: think I'm getting kicked out. I think the show's dropping
Speaker 5: in ratings. You're sensing are people logging off? We're looking off.
Speaker 1: It's so weird.
Speaker 3: If we asked to know, and then it's like, yeah, unfortunately,
Speaker 3: this is not testing.
Speaker 4: Well, no, it's not that we just got word you
Speaker 4: got the wrong prescription.
Speaker 5: Oh I do have to pick up a prescription.
Speaker 4: We got quot it's no need for four zones of
Speaker 4: vision and one lens. We gotta go back. I know
Speaker 4: that you have I believe twenty brothers and sisters six.
Speaker 4: But I one night did a show in at an
Speaker 4: Italian restaurant. I don't know any more than that. But
Speaker 4: I was hanging out with this group of guys and
Speaker 4: we got very drunk, and I had so much fun
Speaker 4: and we were riffing and at the end one of
Speaker 4: them was your brother, probably my brother Pat It maybe
Speaker 4: was he lives in the valley.
Speaker 5: He lives in La Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe it was Fatello. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that was one of his old hangs.
Speaker 4: That's so fun because I was, I had a great
Speaker 4: time with your brother one night, and I knew i'd
Speaker 4: probably never see him again. Yeah, and uh and at
Speaker 4: the last minute he mentioned you're his brother, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: that guy's the best.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is funny, he is a good guy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's like the only family I have here in Labody
Speaker 5: else is in.
Speaker 4: I thought maybe you would know who I was talking about,
Speaker 4: because all your siblings probably didn't move to Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: But no, how many brothers and sisters.
Speaker 5: Get three sisters and three brothers.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: That's a nice Irish family.
Speaker 5: It's a nice Irish Catholic family, servative Irish Catholic family.
Speaker 5: It is very much so. Yeah, it's not as big
Speaker 5: as they get.
Speaker 9: Yeah, any bigger and boy, although when I was I
Speaker 9: was in Pennsylvania and there was a guy and his
Speaker 9: wife and they had ten foster children.
Speaker 5: I visited their farm. They're kind of an Amish country
Speaker 5: and they're like a nice Christian couple and doing this
Speaker 5: lovely thing of like taking problematic children into their home
Speaker 5: and adopting them slowly. And I'm like, that's a crazy
Speaker 5: big family, especially you can pull into the driveway if
Speaker 5: you want, just nudge in for safety, per Yeah, I
Speaker 5: just put your nose right up to the gate, push
Speaker 5: it a little well, just so like you don't feel
Speaker 5: like you're gonna get hit or honked at.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's a big family, ten foster children of
Speaker 5: all different backgrounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah that is. Yeah, maybe one day I'll
Speaker 4: do that.
Speaker 5: You're don't advise it'd be a great father.
Speaker 4: To someone clearly in need.
Speaker 1: Ten immediately.
Speaker 3: Now, do you have anything to plug or should we
Speaker 3: be watching anything or thinking about anything that you are
Speaker 3: working on.
Speaker 5: I'm really liking Murders in the Building. Oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: not on it. That's the show. I'm really into that.
Speaker 5: I wait for every week. Okay, there's a movie I
Speaker 5: did with Nick Jonas called The Good Half, which I
Speaker 5: think drops on Hulu next month. Cool Elizabeth sho and
Speaker 5: Britney Snow really good cast, really nice movie. And then
Speaker 5: Jonas is good.
Speaker 4: He was in the M M A. The Kingdom.
Speaker 5: He's a good I mean he was great obviously, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Because yeah I was. That's amazing. Yeah, that'll be great.
Speaker 4: I will watch it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I do a podcast like you guys where
Speaker 5: we watch except ours rewatch episodes of Deep Oh that's great.
Speaker 5: Second in Command.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that existed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well a lot of people don't know exists.
Speaker 1: Well we have to tell them.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love Second in Command and it's me and Tim
Speaker 5: Simons and we have a lot sorts of people from
Speaker 5: the show.
Speaker 1: That's so cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good excuse to talk to people from
Speaker 5: the show and then have random guests on as well.
Speaker 1: Us must have like a rabbit fan base. I mean
Speaker 1: that show was big for a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, people are hardcore fans of that show, and people
Speaker 5: strangely still watch it and they watch it to go
Speaker 5: to sleep too, which is weird. They find it come
Speaker 5: being to watch that of all shows, which I find surprising.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something about I find that comforting too. Sometimes,
Speaker 3: Like come home from a long, stressful day at work
Speaker 3: and you're like, now I want to watch someone else
Speaker 3: be stressed out at work.
Speaker 1: That makes me feel better.
Speaker 5: Really, Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Like. So what
Speaker 5: do you, if I may ask, what do you watch
Speaker 5: to wind down at the end of the night. Is
Speaker 5: there like a law and order like you mentioned when
Speaker 5: you're in stand up World?
Speaker 3: I can't I can't look at Law and Order anymore
Speaker 3: because of all that. Okay, trauma and dammit it. Okay, no,
Speaker 3: right now, I'm My show is King of the Hill,
Speaker 3: and I'm actually in the Yeah, I've just been plowing
Speaker 3: through because there's thirteen seasons.
Speaker 5: It's so good.
Speaker 3: It's written so perfectly, and it's about things and it's
Speaker 3: like moving and I had no idea. I always was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is just a bunch of like texting guide jokes.
Speaker 4: Before it was syndicated anywhere in Austin, it just played
Speaker 4: around the clock. There's like a King of the Hill channel,
Speaker 4: So really, I'm like, oh, apparently I didn't realize other
Speaker 4: states were also watching it, because it seems.
Speaker 3: Because it's also on Hulu and it's like watch it there.
Speaker 3: It's almost like the conservative, the reasonable conservative man is
Speaker 3: represented and they don't ever get it wrong. So it's
Speaker 3: like what the late nineties, early two thousands, but there's
Speaker 3: never anything that you go, oh, I wish they didn't
Speaker 3: say that, or any of those kind of like no
Speaker 3: one else is a victim to any of that comedy,
Speaker 3: and it is the way they do it is like
Speaker 3: seems miraculous.
Speaker 4: To me because Mike Judge is a genius.
Speaker 1: He's so good.
Speaker 3: And Toby Huss does every fucking voice on this Really
Speaker 3: it is like anyone who isn't Hank Hill or.
Speaker 5: Bobby Hill Toby.
Speaker 3: It's wild because I love Toby and he's the best.
Speaker 3: But like I was like, hold it, wait, that teacher
Speaker 3: was Toby, Wait that mechanic was Toby, And you.
Speaker 1: Just realize he's doing all of these voices.
Speaker 4: I can't see him and not think Frank Sinatra from
Speaker 4: the year four TV like that, that's who doesn't.
Speaker 5: Right, Frank Sinatra. That's kind of my dream though, too,
Speaker 5: is to do an animation voice. Have you ever done
Speaker 5: I've never been a character, like a regular part of
Speaker 5: an animation show. No, I've done like a drop in
Speaker 5: here and there. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 1: I got to do it on there was a show
Speaker 1: called Craig of the Creek and they.
Speaker 5: Have my kids know that it's a yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like a cartoon network show and me and Georgia,
Speaker 3: who I do the other podcast with, were like two
Speaker 3: high school goth girls.
Speaker 4: I didn't know about that.
Speaker 3: That's awesome And it was like the first time we
Speaker 3: did it, having to hear myself and be like, oh, this,
Speaker 3: I don't know how to do it. It's like they
Speaker 3: just asked us to do it for like fun times
Speaker 3: or whatever. But I was like everybody else on that
Speaker 3: show voice acting is such a skill obviously, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I wish I had had this skill
Speaker 3: now that I'm doing it, because it's it has this
Speaker 3: like there's a whole kind of fullness to it and
Speaker 3: of way you have to act that is only this
Speaker 3: that Like, as I was doing it, I was like, man,
Speaker 3: I'm starting to get what skill this takes.
Speaker 5: Did they ask you back or it was only for
Speaker 5: one thing?
Speaker 1: No, we did it for a couple of years.
Speaker 5: Well then you must have been great. Would have been
Speaker 5: too bad.
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying it made me really appreciate what
Speaker 3: like the cast members on that show, which were like
Speaker 3: they were young people in their in their twenties playing
Speaker 3: like grammar school students, were fucking amazing. Like every time
Speaker 3: we were there, when they were there, I was like,
Speaker 3: this is incredible.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's a it's a cool thing.
Speaker 3: And also it's like I don't know, anytime I see
Speaker 3: any of those people or it's like Bob's Burgers all
Speaker 3: those people. We were like, yeah, you just get what's
Speaker 3: fun sounding, and like you just made a character that
Speaker 3: I believe is real.
Speaker 1: It's so cool.
Speaker 4: I can't believe you did that for two years and
Speaker 4: I no, I no knowledge of it.
Speaker 5: The goth girl what's the character's name? We were I
Speaker 5: have no idea, girled the goth girls on Craig of
Speaker 5: the Creek.
Speaker 3: Craig of the Creek that pretended to be witches. We
Speaker 3: tried to scare the little kids by acting like you
Speaker 3: were witches.
Speaker 4: I feel like you could make a couple of phone calls, Matt,
Speaker 4: and you could be a voice on whatever cartoon you want,
Speaker 4: if only.
Speaker 5: It is for you. I love how you think I'm
Speaker 5: a bigger fish than I am.
Speaker 4: No, you're a huge fish.
Speaker 1: Really really quick. Let's just pitch out a couple of ideas.
Speaker 3: So there's a Chicken Man, which is just the story
Speaker 3: of a regular guy in the valley trying to raise chickens,
Speaker 3: like getting through week to week and raise chicken.
Speaker 5: All green thumb.
Speaker 4: That at least, let's thank you for. If there's one thing,
Speaker 4: I don't care if I get a voiceover job. I
Speaker 4: just want to green thumb, thank you.
Speaker 5: I want to I want to be whatever voice I can. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean, let's animate this, guys.
Speaker 4: Guys, you know I'm into it. I just want to
Speaker 4: show up somewhere every day. I'll play on a lease
Speaker 4: because she's a regular cast member. Rude, but I want
Speaker 4: to be I don't want to just be like a
Speaker 4: one time. I've never on a regular on a lease.
Speaker 4: That's all I'm saying. Yeah, Okay, I can't believe we've
Speaker 4: pitched Green, Thumbed, Green Last, and Red some you need
Speaker 4: a ride.
Speaker 5: Let me know how I can help with like the
Speaker 5: character look okay or whatever. I don't need to sign
Speaker 5: off you should.
Speaker 3: Is it too ham handed that you would also look
Speaker 3: like a little bit like a chicken if you were.
Speaker 5: I think it's great, Okay. I'm all about yes, and
Speaker 5: to get this animation so we can make it in
Speaker 5: North Korea too. Honestly, I don't have ethical issues about
Speaker 5: where we get this animated. And some of the money
Speaker 5: comes out of Libya, I mean I don't know. I
Speaker 5: don't want to know where the money is coming from.
Speaker 5: You guys, are you guys see them up front? So
Speaker 5: I don't want to ask any too many questions. You
Speaker 5: are the other.
Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew we'd get that out of
Speaker 1: you at some point.
Speaker 5: No, I would have I would have spoken more awful things.
Speaker 4: Sorry, kids, if you didn't want to draw on an
Speaker 4: assembly line, why'd you get good at drawing?
