Speaker 4: It's so good.

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: My dog is chewing a bone that I think is

00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: going to mess up the audio, so I'm gonna take

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,480

00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: for the next hour.

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: That's classic dogs and classic dog stuff.

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: That's pretty much my twenty twenty three has been going.

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were just saying, Scottie was just saying right

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: before we got on, how how good you are in

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: Top Gun? Mavericke's true, It's really really true, especially being

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: the only female fighter pilot as well, like you had

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: a big weight on your shoulders in that as well.

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was another So there is another woman. Her

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: name is kawag she played a Wizzo but another you

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 5: know Navally, Yes, and but I mean of those of

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: us who flew, Yeah, that was.

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: Just me with a bunch of dudes, a lot of dudes.

79
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but she and I share a high five on

80
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: the beach and we're pretty proud of it.

81
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: So I wasn't like always the only one.

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, there were a lot of moments where I

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 5: look around, I'm like, oh, I'm the only female.

84
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: Y's right, I have a question now. I'm sure you

85
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: get asked a lot about that movie, and also we

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: do want to talk about at midnight because some of

87
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: my friends are in it. Some of Kurt's friends are

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: in it too, So I'm excited in Maverick. I know

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: you guys, you probably get asked a lot about the

90
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: flight training. But you had to take ejector seat training,

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: isn't that right?

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

93
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: That's my dream?

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, is that why?

95
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: To be ejected from a plane? I to be in

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: an F eighteen, that's probably very cool. But I would

97
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: want to be in a fighter debt with her, like

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: let's do this and then we just.

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: Like on the ground, on the ground, just shoot out

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: and then maybe take a parachute.

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Right for fit is it? I agree with that.

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the closer you are to the ground, the less

103
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: safe it is.

104
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: First, you definitely don't want to be in any kind

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 5: of rotation where you're pointing at the ground. It's really

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: morbid to joke about these things, but I can say

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 5: fider pilots do joke about them. They It's sort of

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: that impulse reminds me of like when I'm away from

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 5: California and there's an earthquake, I feel upset that I

110
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 5: missed it, like some weird adrenaline, like I wanted to

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: be there for the thing.

112
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: There can be like a death toll, and I'm the idiot.

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: No, it's just like, oh, man, well they're pretty fun

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: because you're from California, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you

115
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: grew up with them. It's it's like Kurt and I

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: from the East Coast, so earthquakes we're never a thing

117
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: in our life. But then when you actually feel one

118
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, this is it. The whole house

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: is moving, it's it almost feels like a hallucination.

120
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very it's kind of cool. But I say

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 5: that with absolutely zero sensitivity to people who've perished and

122
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 5: lost through homes. I'm still laughing and I should have

123
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 5: made but ejections. Yeah, we had to do this whole training.

124
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 5: It Actually the craziest part of ejection training was all

125
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 5: this water training we had, right, which, like I don't

126
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: mind flying, I like turbulence, I like earthquakes. I guess

127
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 5: that makes sense, but I don't. I think underwater stuff

128
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 5: is the coolest. And yet when I get submerged, like

129
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: it takes me a minute to like calm my nerveous.

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Wow.

131
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

132
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 5: So that was the scariest thing for me making this

133
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: movie was being underwater that much. I went every other

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: day and just kept I we need to like swim

135
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 5: with thirty pounds of gear.

136
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 4: We had to go in this dunker thing that turned

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: us upside down.

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: We had to swim out a specific window blindfolded. We

139
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: all have like stories of like kicking each other in

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: the face and like someone not opening the window the

141
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 5: right way. Like it just you know, it takes a

142
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 5: lot of trust and insanity.

143
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: That's cool. That's cool because you were really in a jet.

144
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: So if you had to have actually ejected for safety

145
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: reasons over the ocean, you have to know how to

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: land in the ocean and survive with a parachute and

147
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: all that stuff. That's the idea, right, yeah, that's.

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: Crazy, yes exactly, and fider pantals have to do it

149
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: every four years.

150
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: We just had to do one, but we joked about

151
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: We're like, we make another one. Better be quick because

152
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: I'm not doing this.

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: So you never actually like was in a seat that

154
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: shot out of a plane?

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Right?

156
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: Was it?

157
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 6: You?

158
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Where our brain's up?

159
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But where you're like, where was.

160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: There like a big man who came and like lifted

161
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,000

Speaker 5: a diving board.

180
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: And then drags you across the water.

181
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: In the event there's always like in the event that,

182
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: and you're like, should.

183

Speaker 5: the water and you have to like unhook your parachute

187
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 5: from your shoulder straps and then like free float and

188
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120

Speaker 5: get out really quickly and slate a raft.

190
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520

00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 7: This sound.

192
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: That makes total sense.

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: I remember I went parasailing when I was I think

194
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: eight years old, and I tripped as it started taking

195
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: off and was dragged across into the surface before lifting up.

196
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: This was the eighties. Man, nobody gave a shit.

197
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: Nope, nobody sued anyone.

198
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: Yet in the air terrifying. After I got up, I

199
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: was like, that was I mean, it was a rough tan.

200
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: It was very pleasant.

201
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: Now I was peeing while I was flying, though, was

202
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: still terrified all right.

203
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, speaking about getting ejected from a vehicle, let's get

211
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: Get ready, hold on to your butt. This was everywhere,

212
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 2: but I saw it on BBC by that swing in

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: BBC Staff A husband forgot his wife after they stopped

214
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: on the side of the road to go to the

215
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: toilet and ended up driving off one hundred miles without her.

216
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: And here we go again. Husband in Thailand accidentally left

217
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: his wife on the side of the road when they

218
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: stopped to go to the toilet. It all started on

219
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Christmas Day. No no, of course, when Boon Tom his

220
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: name is Boon Tom Chai Moon, which is an incredible name.

221
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful name, and Amnui Chai Moon set off

222
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: on a long drive through the night to the province

223
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: of Maha Sarakam. But at one point Boon Tom was

224
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: so desperate to use the bathroom he had to stop

225
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: at the car on the side of the road. New

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: I or m new A. Sorry if I'm butchering that.

227
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: M new A also popped out of the car and

228
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: into a nearby jungle for a quick toilet break, but

229
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: when she returned to the car, it had vanished. It

230
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: turns out Boon Tom hadn't realized she had left the

231
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: car and thought she was sleeping across the back seat

232
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: the entire time. Oh no, oh, well, well exactly, It's

Speaker 4: Had had you been sleeping prior? He was used to Yeah,

235
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: I thought she was just a quiet woman.

236
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they had a marital spat, and this is

237
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: how it ended yea.

238
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

239
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: Oh, and then he's talking for one hundred miles, so

240
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: you're really not going to talk, really, I'm having this

241
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: silent treatment.

242
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: Cool yeah yeah, cool yeah cool.

00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: You gotta tell the story. You don't have to use

247
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: real names, but tell the story about that voicemail that

248
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: one of our friends left to one of our other

249
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: friends where he turned one eighty on him. Do you

00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: remember that.

251
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: It was this guy who we were all friends with

252
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: way back in the day, and who is a you know,

Speaker 1: Yes, and he called.

256
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: fault all the time, and that was why we kind

257
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 3: of all stopped being friends with him.

258
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,080

261
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: He calls my friend Bob. That's also not his name.

262
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: Vinnie and Bob. This is a classic story. It took

263
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: place in Bensonhurst in nineteen eighty eight.

264
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: So Vinie calls Bob.

265
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: Bob hasn't heard from Vinnie in I don't know fifteen years,

266
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: at least fifteen years. Get a voice, Tomail. The voicemails him, going, hey, listen, Bob.

267
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: I know last time that we talked, I came off

268
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 3: a bit aggressive because you know, you didn't want to

269
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: work with me on that project. And you know what,

270
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: you were right, you were right to not want to

271
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: work with me on that project. And I'm sorry that

272
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: I came off as aggressive, you know, nice, but you

273
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: know it was you know, it was upsetting. It was upsetting,

274
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 3: and honestly, if I'm being honest with myself, I had

275
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: a right to be mad, and you know what, you

276
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: know what, I think I am still mad and he

277
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: just apologize and that in the course of a two

278
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: and a half minute message, came all the way around

279
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: to the end just being like, so, anyway, I am

280
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: very mad, and I think you should.

281
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Call me back so that we can talk about this.

282
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, God, it's so good.

283
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 5: I've interacted with many of these through my life, and

284
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 5: now I see the signs soon quicker. But it is

285
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 5: this thing where you're like.

286
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: Like, when you at.

287
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: First don't give them what they want, they're like mad,

288
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 5: but then that doesn't work. So then they're like very

289
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 5: nice and they're like, I'm gonna be reasonable, and then

290
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 5: and then very quickly you're like, yes, this was just

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: a manipulation tactic, because now you're mad at.

292
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 4: Me again and saying like just hurling insults.

293
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: You're like, whoa, whoa.

294
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: And nothing is ever their fault. Well, if it is,

295
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: it only lasts for like two seconds.

296
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Ye, what you're describing as seventy five percent of Los Angeles,

297
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: So whatever he is, we are surrounded by surrounded.

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: It's not safe.

299
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: It's like I'm either you or I'm in love with

00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: She had no choice but to walk thirteen miles to

320
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: the city center of cabin Bury, where she eventually found

321
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: a police station at five am.

322
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

323
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: But the ordeal didn't then there. She had no idea

324
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: what her husband's phone number was off off hand, so

325
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: she couldn't even call him.

326
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Gotta memorize it, Gotta memorize it.

327
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: At least your partner, right, yeah's your partner and maybe

328
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: a parent. I got my.

329
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: Partners and then I got my dead mom's phone from

330
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty five.

331
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: Those are the two numbers in my brain.

332
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: Oh, I still have my landline for like I where

333
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 5: I grew up, and my mom doesn't even have this

334
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: landline anymore, but we still use it for like Safeway

335
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: and Vond's and like I even have friends using it

336
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: for what. So we all remember this phone number that

337
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: doesn't belong to anybody anymore. If there's like a saying,

338
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: it's like penguins on an ice that you can only

339
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 5: keep so many penguins on a.

340
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: Wait, what is this?

341
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: You know the same?

342
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't like for this classic saying of howeverty penguins

343
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: were keeping an ice flow.

344
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: Penguins on an iceberg, right, an iceberg, it's I and

345
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: you can only keep so many on the iceberg.

346
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: I'm notoriously bad with saying.

347
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell, but but it's like this thing where

348
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 5: you know you want to get rid of the information

349
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 5: you don't need, but you kind of can't.

350
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: So you're just trying to like go through life and

351
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: add penguins.

352
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 8: But swait is this this is I didn't realize this

353
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 8: was a metaphor for how memory works. So yes, our

354
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 8: brain so much so our brains are the iceberg, and

355
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 8: thoughts and memories are.

356
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 3: Different penguins who want to get on the iceberg.

357
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 5: Yes, I unfortunately had no space on my iceberg when

358
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: I was told this phrase.

359
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: No problem, however, you seem to have space.

360
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: I love it. Penguin. All we are in life is

361
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: just penguins on an iceberg trying not to slip off

362
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 2: into the Arctic ocean and perish.

363
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 7: Also implies though, if it's a flat iceberg or an

364
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 7: ice flow whatever they're called, and uh, and a couple

365
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 7: of penguins are on one side, two more, too many

366
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 7: are on one side, then another, and an extra one

367
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 7: gets on to that side and tips the whole thing

368
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 7: and all the memories.

369
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: Get wiped, which I also liked.

370
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: And if you learn one extra thing too much, your

371
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: whole memory just goes for you.

372
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: You don't have anything left.

373
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 5: Like the risk of learning your spouse's phone number, you know,

374
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 5: was high risk and so she.

375
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: Learned it.

376
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: She forgot it after at eight am, when she eventually

377
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: got a hold of her husband, she realized he had

378
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: managed to travel more than one hundred miles away.

379
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh so he never realized he had to get a

380
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: phone call.

381
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yes. After realizing his mistake, Boon Tom quickly turned around

382
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: to drive back and pick up his wife. He was

383
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: obviously extremely sorry and apologized profusely to his wife, and

384
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: despite the monumental mix up, the couple, who have been

385
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: married for twenty seven years and have a twenty six

386
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: year old son, did not argue at all. That is

387
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: the end of the.

388
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: I you, I don't think this person.

389
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 5: I'm sensing she wasn't a very vocal person, and so

390
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 5: it wasn't weird for him to not hear from her

391
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: for a while. Did this makes me think of my

392
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 5: brother would drive My brother went to.

393
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: Oregon, University of Oregon.

394
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: He was organ Universe. Yeah, yes, the Green.

395
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: Ducks, Green Ducks of Eugene Organ.

396
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Eugene, Oregon.

397
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: And he would drive and we're from the Bay area,

398
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: like San Franisco area, and he would drive home like

399
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 5: in one shot, with like multiple shots of five hour energy.

400
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 5: And I guess I could see being in the zone

401
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: and like just driving and be like okay, hey, yeah,

402
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 5: like emergency, go get back in, let's go.

403
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: And then having no idea that the backseat has Sure not.

404
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 2: Your wife, absolutely, I but the one details that they

405
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: stopped and got into a jungle. Now, obviously we don't

406
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: really We have the Everglades in America, but we don't

407
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: really have jungles. But I think if I was driving

408
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: with my wife and I got out to pee in

409
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: a jungle in the middle of the night, I would

410
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: get back in the car and go didn't die, and

411
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: then put it in gear and start driving.

412
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

413
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there'd be some commentary on the jungle, right, but.

414
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: It's probably all jungle. Yeah, it's a lot of jungle.

415
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 4: Ye, we're over it.

416
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: We don't care to talk about. It's like the Jersey

417
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: State Parkway. You know who cave as your ship?

418
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

419
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: What ex deserv What are we going to talk about?

420
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: We get it. We repeed in the desert when I

421
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: was in college my second year.

422
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: He gets it.

423
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: He gets it.

424
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: He's like, I know, we don't want to talk about

425
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: the jungle, so I'm not going to say anything about it.

426
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I could be quiet, I'm gonna start driving.

427
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: Last time I met in the jungle, she got so upset.

428
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: She wouldn't shut up about it.

429
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: After twenty seven years, you've said everything about the junka

430
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: that you're gonna say it to each other.

431
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: That's got it, no no problem. When I was a sophomore,

432
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 2: I was a RA. I was a residence sister at

433
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: UMass And on the very first day of training, we

434
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: all went to our rooms first, and then the RD

435
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: was this really cool woman named Amy, and who's probably

436
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: only like twenty two or twenty three, felt like an adult.

437
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: And we all gather in this meeting room and it's

438
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: like forty ras. And I didn't know anybody there. I

439
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: had never met any of them on campus before.

440
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: You're eighteen at this time.

441
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am eighteen, and so I and Amy's like, hey, guys,

442
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm Amy, I'm the rd. Before we all introduce ourselves,

443
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna do a little bit of a nice breaker.

444
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: Let's all go outside into the quad. So we all

445
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: walk out there, and I Monica, you don't know this

446
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: about me. I hate icebreakers almost more than anything else

447
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: in the world. I have a very good memory, and

448
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: I'm really good with names and faces. So for me,

449
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 2: it's it feels like bad karaoke or something to be

450
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: like s Snake. I'm Scotty the Snake it's and then

451
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: you're like kill me. Yeah. So we all go outside

452
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: to this big hill and as we're walking out there,

453
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: I see this Asian man about one hundred yards away,

454
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: like five blocks away, in like daisy dukes and a

455
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: tank top, and he's just smiling, just staring at us

456
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: and smiling. And I'm kind of a you know me eeteen,

457
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a wise ass. So I give him

458
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: like a big friendly wave and smile, and he gives

459
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: me a big friendly wave and he smiles even bigger.

460
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: And then the icebreaker was Amy said, imagine this hill,

461
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: this grassy hill is the United States, and I want

462
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: you to go stand everybody, figure out where they're from,

463
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: like their hometown, and stand there, and then we're gonna

464
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: go around, starting in Boston and expand out. So we,

465
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: you know, mentally, picture this map and there are a

466
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: lot of kids from Massachusetts, so there's a little cluster,

467
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: and then there's a kid from Texas who's down in

468
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: the middle. And then I'm from Maryland, so I'm like,

469
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen feet down from the Boston kids, and

470
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: so we all spread out and then it begins. So

471
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm Amy, I'm from Boston, I'm your RD. I'm Lenny.

472
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: I'm from Philadelphia. I'm Scotty. I'm from Maryland. And we

473
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: go for however long it takes forty people to say

474
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: their hometown and their name, but we're outside and I

475
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: am Actually it actually did help me remember everybody's name.

476
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: And we get to the end of the forty and

477
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: just from down the street street, the Asian man goes.

478
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: I am thund Up.

479
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: I am from Thailand.

480
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 4: So he's like, where was I supposed to stand?

481
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 3: And then Amy goes here standing very far away, assuming

482
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: this is where Thailand is.

483
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: So my first thought is that's thund Up. He's from Thailand.

484
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: This guy is just eavesdropping on college kids every semester

485
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: he does this. And then Amy goes, thunded Up, come

486
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: over here. So he was like the assistant RD who

487
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: would just run late to the meeting and just knew

488
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: what was coming. So he just positioned himself in Thailand. Oh,

489
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: I thought he was a serial killer. I thought he

490
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: was going to kill us all just smiling at these

491
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 2: college co eds. But instead, Hi, I'm thumbed up. I

492
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: am from Thailand, and we're like, I'll never forget him

493
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: as long as I live. Bless that man.

494
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 5: That's what those are. Four though, No, never forget. I

495
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 5: was gonna say, it's like to California, just leave. But

496
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 5: if Thailand was within visual range.

497
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 4: It was the best.

498
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: He was the best guy. Curdie B. You want to

499

Speaker 5: a week there filming, and we also did like press

560
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: prior to filming, which was really interesting.

561
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 4: They're like, tell us about the movie. I was like,

562
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: I don't know. The script is being edited. I think

563
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 4: I said an interwem, like it's about love Diego, you

564
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 4: want to take this one away because he.

565
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 5: Like developed it and produced something. And then it was

566
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: also going through rewrites. Our director Jonah fine Gold was

567
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 5: rewriting certain scenes and like and characters that they you know,

568
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: there was a lot that was changing and we had

569
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: this like one four hour lunch where we were like

570
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: talking about all these dynamics and you know between characters

571
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 5: and I think kind of created a new character. They

572
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 5: were just very nice to like open me and like

573
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: allow me into the fold to discuss those things with them.

574
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: Not what you asked about the movie. Fun has fun.

575
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: It's in Mexico City and also a lot in Cancun

576
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 5: and Planca. I've heard of it, which is yeah, I

577
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 5: had never been to the east coast of Mexico, so

578
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: that was a lot of fun.

579
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, I think it's.

580
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 6: It.

581
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 4: Uh, it's beautiful there.

582
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 5: I love the climate and it was amazing and we

583
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 5: had honors Homes Love Honors.

584
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: He was great.

585
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 5: Everyone who was a part of it was like very

586
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: good at and I include Kasey.

587
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: Thomas Brown and Cat Cohen in this. She was great

588
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: to stand up special on Netflix. I haven't seen it.

589
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 5: Everybody was great at both you know, following the script

590
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: and also adding exactly what was needed to it in

591
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: the moment while filming. And and I think that's like,

592
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 5: a that's a dicey thing. Some people really can't do that,

593
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: or some people do it too much, and everybody just

594
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 5: you know, was game to supply whatever they had. I

595
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 5: learned a lot from watching Ander's work because I know

596
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 5: he you know, obviously has like been in comedic writer's room.

597
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 5: He's done the whole thing. And there's this he had

598
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: this perfect idea for this one moment, and I was like,

599
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 5: you got to do it, and he like had meant

600
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 5: because he had mentioned it to me, and I was like,

601
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: you have to do it, you have to do it,

602
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 5: and he was like, He's like just wait.

603
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 4: And so he does it a couple of times, like.

604
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 5: The way the director wants, the way it's like scripted,

605
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 5: and then he's like and it just at the perfect moment,

606
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: he's like, hey, I actually have one more thing.

607
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 4: Does it? Everyone laughs, It's perfect, We move on. And

608
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: it was just one of those.

609
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 5: Moments where I was like, oh, okay, Like I'm the

610
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: person who thinks as soon as something pops into your head,

611
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 5: like you have to say it and share it and

612
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: just in case the moment you know dies, and he's

613
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 5: just like so sure, and he just knows, I guess

614
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 5: what it's like to be on every side of the camera,

615
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: and so he knows how to respect the process and

616
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: have patients. And then also just like throwing a zinger

617
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 5: that's right on workoholics.

618
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: They would we would write the script and you know,

619
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: we'd get the script as tight as we could, so

620
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: for a half hour, we would get that script down

621
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: to like twenty six pages because we knew that those

622
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 2: guys were going to riff and improvise and find funny

623
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: things in the scene. And there was an episode I

624
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: wrote that Jack Black is in and Amy Yasbeck was

625
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: in and Amy was like a total pro had been

626
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: on a couple of hit sitcoms, and there was a

627
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 2: scene on the first shooting day where the guys were

628
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: riffing and improvising like they do, and after somebody was

629
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: like cut, She's like, can somebody say the line before

630
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: my line? So I know when I'm supposed to speak

631
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: And they were like we are so sorry. We were

632
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: like yeah, and so Durs like made sure to be like,

633
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: you know whatever, his cue was for her to be like,

634
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: I'll take that, but she was just standing there being like,

635
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: I'm an actor. You have to say the line before

636
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: my line, so I could say my dialogue.

637
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: Wait, I had that happen.

638
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 5: So I have a show of fu Bar that Fortune

639
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 5: Fisters and it it's it's Arnold Schwarzenegger Fortune Fister, Malan Carter,

640
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 5: Travis Van all the forgetting games Like a jerk.

641
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 4: I always remember all the names I forgot after I.

642
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: Do something falling off.

643
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: And yeah, I don't even have room for phrases. No.

644
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 5: But so we were that Adam Paley is a guest

645
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 5: and you know, he's obviously very you know, talented, funny

646
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 5: and great, and he was like it was one of

647
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 5: those things where they wanted all of us to follow

648
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 5: the script really carefully, and even even Fortune like she'd

649
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 5: get to she'd throw things out, but mostly it was

650
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 5: like keep to the script sort of, you know, because

651
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 5: they make it really tight all the time. You get

652
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: it's a totally understandable and we only have so much

653
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: time to shoot like epic scenes in eight days. It's

654
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 5: like eight movies that in you know, four months or

655
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: whatever that we shot. But Adam Pally was given this

656
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 5: golden ticket to like come and improvise, and he's so funny.

657
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 5: You were like having a hard time keeping it together,

658
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: and it was so great to have him there. He

659
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: like just lit the whole room up, and him in

660
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 5: fortune would start riffing and they would just let them go,

661
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 5: and it was it.

662
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 4: Was so amazing.

663
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 5: But I felt so bad because there were a few

664
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 5: times where they were like they'd come in and say

665
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: to me, like, hey, can you say the line such,

666
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: and you know, like, okay, I'll take you over to

667
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 5: the bathroom or whatever.

668
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 4: But but but I but I didn't.

669
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 5: Know when he was done or like it was the

670
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: same thing, and I sort of like didn't know whether

671
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: to like, I don't know whether to say to him

672
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 5: directly or say to like, am I tattling if I

673
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 5: mentioned to the writer that he's not saying It was

674
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 5: like one.

675
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: Of those things.

676
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Yes, so small.

677
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: Were fun when it's alive, it's fun like when the

678
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: actors are allowed to play a little bit. Yes, get

679
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 2: to the point of the scene and all that. But

680
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: like Kurt's great at it. It's fun to just rift

681
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: dog every now and then, and sometimes it makes it

682
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: so much funnier, Yes.

683
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 4: But they are also I mean, I think I'm a

684
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 4: hit or miss.

685
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 5: I only have so much improv experience, and I think

686
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 5: I have worked with actors. I have seen actors in

687
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 5: that space be very not funny, and it is one

688
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: of those things where you're like, yeah, she can improvise,

689
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: you cannot.

690
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: She not being me.

691
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: For the record, that's awesome.

Speaker 2: My whole thing. That's literally ninety percent of my personality.

698
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: It's It's truly amazing.

699
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 3: It is a skill I lack completely and Scotty has

700
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: it in spades, but he works on it, and that's

701
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: why it's important.

702
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: All right, here it is.

703
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:10,520

00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kathleen, Thank you, Kathleen.

708
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: This was on Upworthy as it makes sense that it's

709
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 3: on Upworthy.

710
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,239

Speaker 2: They are so good here.

714
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: It is a classic classic online article that we're going

715
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: to talk about just loneliness in general before getting to

716
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: the idea of the article. One of the primary problems

717
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: that older people face globally as loneliness, especially in urban

718
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: areas where life is hike tick and becoming more and

719
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 3: more digital. In order to combat this from a form.

720
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 3: In order to combat this from a very common front,

721
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: the growth tree store Checkout, a Dutch business, came up

722
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: with an idea. Yes at kletz Casa or chat checkout

723
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: was created by Jumbo, a Dutch grocery chain with over

724
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: seven hundred locations for customers who are not in a

725
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 3: rush and would want to converse with the cashier. In

726
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: the Netherlands, there are one point three million individuals over

727
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: seventy five and a sizeable grocery chain is making sure

728
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: they don't spend their golden years feeling lonely. According to

729
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 3: my Modern met these quote slow lanes were first introduced

730
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: by Jumbo in the summer of twenty nineteen as a

731
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: part of the Dutch government's One against Loneliness campaign. There

732
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: are one point three million adults over seventy five in

733
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: the Netherlands.

734
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: We've got that.

735
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: Already, and thirty thirty three percent of them say they

736
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: feel at least moderately lonely, according to Statistics Netherlands. In

737
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: the North Province province, town of Vledgmen, that's great name.

738
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 3: It is Vledgmin the first klitz go I'm open for business.

739
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: The feedback was so encouraging that the business decided to

740
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: build two hundred of these lanes across the nation.

741
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: And so sweet, isn't it cool?

742
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 3: Additionally, Jumbo stores added a chat corner, which is probably

743
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: called a klutz corner, with where locals might congregate for

744
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: a cup of coffee and some small talk. The best

745
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: thing about kletzkoss is that anyone whose day could be

746
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: made better by taking it easy and chatting for a

747
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 3: while is welcome. And my mom, there's one word of this,

748
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 3: but I think that's all the information we need.

749
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 9: Yes, that's so sweet. My cynical brain is like kind

750
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 9: of I'm like, what why did this actually start? What

751
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 9: happened in long checkout lines that wasn't good for profits.

752
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta we gotta move, we gotta.

753
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: Upsell these where there's originals. They're grathering dust at this

754
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 2: check out. We gotta get this and me mo on

755
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: pee Paul's basket asap.

756
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so funny.

757
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 3: I love that approach, Monica, because immediately my head goes

758
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 3: and writes a story that like their actual initiative is

759
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 3: that cashiers are no longer allowed to speak to customers

760
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: to like speed them through, and there was gonna be

761
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: a PR nightmare, and some brilliant PR company was like, no, no, no, no,

762
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 3: you just create two hundred of these bullshit things and

763
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: then you throw that out there is the PR release

764
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: and then you guys are the heroes and Jumbo looks great.

765
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,959
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I let's let's I'm gonna ask as soon,

766
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume that it's just because the Netherlands know

767
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: how to do it. I love that everything out of

768
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: the Netherlands is the either the most like uplifting, like wow,

769
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: they really got shit figured out, or the most depressing,

770
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: but also they got everything taking care of for you. Yeah,

771
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: bike lads, Universal College, they're super tall.

Speaker 5: I gotta love the bike lanes, though, shouldn't La be

774
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:11,160

Speaker 4: Yeah.

781
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Set Boulevard should only be a bike lane. If

00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: Sunset Boulevard from the Ocean to downtown was just bikes

783
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:36,720

00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know door door to shore. Wait,

791
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: can we make this a parade?

792
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 5: Of course that will all be complaining about the traffic

793
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 5: that day.

794
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: It's really fun, but that'd be so poetic too.

795
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 4: At Sunset it's wait, I love that you do this.

796
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: Do you do this with a group or is it just.

797
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: Scott?

798
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: He just had a dream about it and uh, And

799
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 3: then we started doing it last year. So we did

800
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: our second one in October of this past year.

801
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 4: Yep.

802
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: And now it's a national thing, so anyone can do it.

803
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: We do it for charity, and so people did it

804
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: in like forty different cities this year and raised We

805
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 3: raised a ton of money for all these different charities,

806
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 3: local charities.

807
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 4: When's the next one.

808
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: Probably September October next year. Basically, you walk out your

809
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: front door and then you walk to the closest body

810
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: of water, so for us, we go to the Pacific

811
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: Ocean and then you walk in fully clothed shoes and everything,

812
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: and you can do We do cast La, which is

813
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: a human trafficking charity, but you can do any charity

814
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 2: you want, and we had we had people all around

815
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: the world doing it. And basically you can do it

816
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: with friends. Kurt and I do it together, though we

817
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: did run into Alex and a couple of friends along

818
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: the way, but we usually just do it with us

819
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: because it's really fun for us to catch up and

820
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: joke around for nineteen miles. Yeah, but you.

821
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: Can rock with us if you.

822
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you. I feel very special for that invitation.

823
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely whenever you do it, I want to

824
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 5: do it. I mean, if I'm in La, I'll stock

825
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 5: you guys or wherever I am that's the best.

826
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 2: I love grocery stores. I think grocery stores are one

827
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: of the few and fading places where all types of

828
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: people get together. Like there are so few clubs these days,

829
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: like it used to be like the Rotary Club, the

830
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: Yolks Club, like bridge clubs, this thing, that thing. Now

831
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: it's like, especially after the Great Choar, it's like either

832
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: go to bars or you go to the grocery store.

833
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: That's where you see strangers and interact with other people.

834
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 2: So I love them. And it's funny that the La

835
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: grocery stores put bars in them, like Gelson's has bars.

836
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: They're combining both worlds.

837
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you know.

838
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 5: I've seen this at Whole Foods, the Whole Food's in

839
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 5: Reno that I've been to because of stop gun Wait.

840
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 5: I have to admit I I absolutely hate the I

841
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 5: hate going to the groscy.

842
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: What do you hate about it?

843
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: On the shelf, it's you know what.

844
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 5: It is, It's it's my failure to execute. So I

845
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 5: go in there and I go, I'm gonna get all

846
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 5: these healthy things and I'm going.

847
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 4: To cook this week, and I'm so lazy that I

848
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 4: like open the fridge.

849
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 5: I'm like what can I literally like, what is the

850
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 5: shortest amount of time to like grab to mouth like

851
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 5: I don't, and then the kale is not that so

852
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 5: like I just I see all the vegetables I buy them,

853
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 5: and I'm like, these are going to rot in my fridge,

854
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 5: and I just see the failure at the end of it.

855
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 5: But but I like this idea of making the grocery store.

856
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 4: Seeing is how it's a place you'll go.

857
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: We all have, That's what I mean.

858
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 4: It's fun, like a nice place.

859
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I run into people at the bar at the

860
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 2: Silver Lake Gelsons. I will go in and look over

861
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 2: at the bar, and I would say four times out

862
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 2: of ten I will see somebody I know drinking there,

863
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: either ironically or very seriously, and it's very fun.

864
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 4: I've not been to that one. I've been I the

865
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 4: Los Felos one.

866
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that might be the same one. I'm not sure.

867
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: The one on Yeah, I think it's probably the same.

868
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: Hyperion.

869
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 4: And did you know Franklin is a biking lane.

870
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

871
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody nobody respects.

872
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 5: No apparently is is actually it is a designated biking lane,

873
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 5: which I necessarily.

874
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 3: Which just means it has a picture of a bicycle

875
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: out of the ground that you drive over.

876
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah.

877
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 5: Also, everyone I know who's ridden a bike in this

878
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 5: city has gotten here.

879
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: Sure, maybe temporarily hospital.

880
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: Okay, it's fine.

881
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 4: Wait, okay, the Silver Lake Gelson's is the place to

882
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 4: go for.

883
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: A place to hang.

884
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the place to go for a drinking.

885
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: There's better places to go for a drink.

886
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 3: Monica, don't let Scotti convince you that you should be

887
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 3: going to place for drinking.

888
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 4: I'm going.

889
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: Here's why. It's school. One that you're not allowed to tip. Ever,

890
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: they are not allowed to tip legally. Two, they will

891
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 2: shop for you while you drink beer wine, so you

892
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: give them a list and then you sit there and

893
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: then they bring a card over. Three you get to

894
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: pee in those weird bathrooms that are back in the

895
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: storehouse of a of a grocery store, which makes you

896
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: feel like you're working there for fifteen seconds.

897
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 4: Do you feel so cool and like in the know.

898
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 7: What?

899
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 4: Wait?

900
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 5: Okay, no offense, take the Dutch, but this sounds better,

901
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 5: it does.

902
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: You know what?

903
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of like grocery stores being like the like bars

904
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: in a way of like seeing different people. Last night

905
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: we did our first Hot Tub at Permanent Records Roadhouse Scottie,

906
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 3: how to go?

907
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: How was it?

908
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: It was great?

909
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 3: So Monica, I've been doing a variety show myself and

910
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: Kristin Shawl hosted sit for We're going on our eighteenth year,

911
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: and so we just switched venues post pandemic to this

912
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: place called the Permanent Records Roadhouse. And for anyone listening

913
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: who is in La, it's awesome. It's essentially like a

914
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: punk rock bar that also has a record store in it,

915
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 3: and then outside is where the performance space for comedy

916
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: is and so it's an outside venue.

917
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: Oh cool.

918
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 3: I didn't know that you got less COVID worries and

919
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: all that sort of thing, and it was packed last night.

920
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: But what's really cool about it is that it's like

921
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 3: a hopin' scene that I was unaware of. So they

922
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: have music, they have bands playing inside during our show

923
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 3: outside and there's no sound bleed.

924
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: But then when hot Tub ends, there's just like.

925
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 3: A very cool band playing inside is cool, and it's

926
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: like two separate crowds, and then everybody starts mingling, and

927
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: then I was just like, oh wow, this is a

928
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 3: total scene in La that I was unaware of. Of

929
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 3: like cool rocker scene, and I was like, this is

930
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 3: gonna be great to like finish hot tub and then

931
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 3: go get a drink and then go watch a band

932
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 3: that I've never heard of in the main space.

933
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 1: It's awesome, so cool, it's so exciting. It's gonna be fun.

934
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: It sounds like a less pretentious like Zebula.

935
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, it's I used to love Io even though

936
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 10: the Hollywood I owe like my ex was an improviser

937
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 10: and so we were there all the time and it

938
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 10: had its probably loves that he had come from the

939
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 10: Chicago space, which was like much better, although then they

940
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 10: updated and that was controversial.

941
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, legendary and oh man it was.

942
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 5: It was just such a fun space, even though the

943
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 5: stage and the pillars and the stairs it was kind

944
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 5: of a mess. But like you know, you learn, like

945
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 5: that's that's the best place to go see comedy is

946
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 5: a room that doesn't make any sense?

947
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah like that.

948
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

949
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 2: As a scene, yeah, it has a scene. It feels

950
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: like you're part of something. You're right in Hollywood. It's

951
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: a cool thing when there's like multi when there's different

952
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: groups of talented people circling each other and then inter mixing.

953
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 2: It's like your best part of your twenties, says those nights.

954
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it makes it it makes it sound like

955
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 5: it's you know, it makes it sound like it's like

956
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 5: some networking crap and it's not at all. You really

957
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 5: just feel like you're hanging out and like learning things

958
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 5: and it's just that's fun.

959
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot of hope, there's a lot of ambition

960
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 2: and hope in those rooms. I remember really early on

961
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: before I was Buddies with Kurt. He and Kristen had

962
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 2: that show and it was a really good show, and

963
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: Kristin had started working on Flight of the Concords and

964
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: I was talking to an improviser. I wasn't an improviser.

965
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: I was just hanging out at the bar and it

966
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 2: was after a hot tub and people were like, we

967
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: can do it, Like there were like these twenty two

968
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: twenty three year old improvisers that are like Curt and

969
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 2: Kristen are making it, Like, guys, we can do this,

970
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: Like if we get this team together and we got

971
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: like get a crowd, like I'm telling you, we're the

972
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: people that can do it. And in retrospect, you know,

973
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: at the time it probably rolled my eyes but they

974
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: were right. There was a lot of like you do

975
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: need that energy in those small improv theaters and sketch

976
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: teams and stuff. It's like, somebody on this team's gonna

977
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 2: make it. Who's it gonna be?

978
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

979
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,440

989
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 5: how people are like, are you faking that voice?

990
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 10: She's like you think, I ye, I'm unaware of what

Speaker 5: I mean every comedian is like so nice to bartenders

996
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 5: because they either were one or some version of them.

997
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 4: And it was that was that was the best. Oh

998

Speaker 2: It was.

1002
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And the other bartenders would be like

1003
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 5: like the mud would have crawled up to their thighs

1004
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 5: by the end of the day and they were making

1005

Speaker 2: to leave on. It's a sometimes we do these, not often.

1017
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 2: But this is a Reddit post and in and by

1018
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: Laren Falling, which if your last name is Falling, that

1019
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 2: is a great name. Umm, Lauren Falling sent this in

1020
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 2: is It just says the names, including my own, have

1021
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: been modified to false names. That is what the reddit

1022
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 2: poster said. And it was under the today I fucked

1023
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: up the TIFU And here we go about twenty nine

1024
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 2: years ago. I was in the third grade. I took

1025
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: one of I took one of the carrot packs out

1026
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: of my lunchbox, the kind that came with a little

1027
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: cup of ranch dressing, and all of the sudden, this

1028
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 2: kid Balthazar says, hey, everybody, Tim is a carrot boy.

1029
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 2: Everybody at the whole lunch table started to laugh. I

1030
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it. For some reason, that really stuck with me.

1031
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: Nobody really brought it up again. But I became sell

1032
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: But I became self conscious in elementary school for eating carrots. Later, thankfully,

1033
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: I lost the self consciousness, but all through school and

1034
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: into adulthood, I have always thought of that and built

1035
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: it up in my head as this big, disrespectful insult

1036
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: to me when everybody, hey, everybody, Tim is a carrot boy.

1037
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 4: A carrot boy.

1038
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 2: Oh man. So whenever I eat carrots, the memory pops up,

1039
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 2: basically involuntarily. Whenever I see carrots, I remember Bathizar going, hey, everybody,

1040
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: Tim is a carrot boy, and hear the laughter. What

1041
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 2: you should know is that I am from a small town,

1042
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 2: and although I left, a lot of the kids I

1043
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: know are still there. I saw that over the holidays

1044
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 2: there was an impromptu high school reunion event scheduled, so

1045
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 2: I decided to show up. I haven't seen these people

1046
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: regularly in a long time. Well, who should be there?

1047
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 2: But bathis are All of the sudden, old anger welled

1048
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 2: up inside of me. And I don't know what I

1049
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: was thinking, and it seems ridiculu this now, But I

1050
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: saw a big tray of carrots at the meant for

1051
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 2: everybody at the buffet table, and I picked up the

1052
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: entire tray and carried it to Balthazar's table and started

1053
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 2: eating carrots angrily. Everyone at the table, table and surrounding

1054
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: tables is staring at me. Then I said, guess I'm

1055
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 2: still a carrot boy.

1056
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 10: Huh No, no way, I almost immediately.

1057
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 3: I mean, you're, first off, you're definitely a carrot boy now,

1058
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: like you have cemented your memory in these people's minds

1059
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 3: as carrot boy.

1060
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 2: It's insane. I almost immediately realized my fuck up when

1061
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: everyone looks at me like I am insane and has

1062
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 2: no idea what I am referencing.

1063
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 4: So what do you expect?

1064
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 2: What do you expect? What do you expect? So I

1065
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 2: awkwardly asked Balthazar and the other people around me if

1066
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 2: they remembered him calling me a carrot boy in third grade,

1067
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 2: and nobody did years ago. Oh no, so I was

1068
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: there like, quote, this did happen? You really did call

1069
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 2: me a carrot boy? And he was like, uh, okay,

1070
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 2: sorry man. Somebody put their hand somebody next to me

1071
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: put their hand on my arm and whispered, are you okay?

1072
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 2: As if I was having a mental breakdown or something.

1073
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: I was so embarrassed that I just got up and left.

1074
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: Multiple people since have texted me asking me if I'm

1075
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 2: all right, and also why did I do that? And

1076
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 2: did I really hold a grudge for some innocuous, silly

1077
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: remark that a third grader made almost thirty years ago.

1078
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, When it was put to me like that,

1079
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: I realized that maybe I was being the weird one.

1080
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe look, man Balvasar was almost definitely being made

1081
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 6: fun of for being named Balflazar his life.

1082
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 4: Third grade. They were eight years old.

1083
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, little boys, Yeah, little care and.

1084
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 5: Someone they were deezing him for being Balfasar and probably

1085
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 5: in no other like just reaching for.

1086
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 4: Any kind of defense, that's right, what you know?

1087
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 5: It maybe even like standing up for Tim carrot boy,

1088
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 5: and was like, what are we gonna okay, Tim is

1089
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 5: a carrot boy?

1090
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 4: Like what are we just gonna make Sun of everybody.

1091
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 5: Balthasar is like anti bullying and has this horrible reputation.

1092
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 3: Now, I hope nobody ever said to Tim like, oh,

1093
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 3: look at Tim using pencils, the pencil guy.

1094
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: It is just damning someone with a pencil. Thirty five

1095
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: years later, who's a pencil guy?

1096
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 5: Now, Brian, There's so much more to unpack, like how

1097
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 5: sensitive is this person just generally or was really this

1098
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 5: one defining moment that he's never processed it is?

1099
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 3: There's more things in his life. I would recommend him

1100
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 3: go to therapy.

1101
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,680

1108
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 2: redemption arc. Let me just give you this last little

1109
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: chunk here. Balthasar wasn't a bully or anything aside from

1110
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: that one insult. Aside from that one insult, he never

1111
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: did anything else to me in high school and was

1112
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: known as generally being a do gooder. I had built

1113
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 2: up this major incident, but nobody else had even remembered it.

1114
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 2: I was horrified to find that several people from the

1115
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 2: reunion unfriended me on Facebook, and then I saw photos

1116
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: of the event where somebody had dagged me at the

1117
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 2: background as carrot boy and here comes and none other

1118
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 2: than Balthasar responded to the post, asking the poster to

1119
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: remove that tag, even though several other people had replied

1120
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: with laugh emojis. So the banana of the week is Bathazar.
