Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 3: Either way, we want to be there, doesn't matter how
Speaker 3: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 3: terminol and gay aid.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off Insta.
Speaker 1: We wanna welcome you back home. Tell us all about it.
Speaker 1: We scared her? Was it fine?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Porn? Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Ride with Karen and Chris? Welcome to Do you need
Speaker 2: to ride? This is Chris.
Speaker 1: Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgareff.
Speaker 4: We're leaving Karen's house and I'm going to make a
Speaker 4: request right off the bat.
Speaker 2: Yes, can we go through a coffee drive through?
Speaker 1: Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: I didn't say Starbucks because maybe you knew of a
Speaker 4: mon pop place that has what we're looking for.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's so many around LA.
Speaker 4: That's what I like about going home to visit Missoula, Montanas.
Speaker 2: There is a chain that people choose to go to.
Speaker 1: Is it the one where the girls are forced to
Speaker 1: wear a bikini tops?
Speaker 4: No, that's in the Seattle area, and I've been through
Speaker 4: and I think that they were offended that.
Speaker 2: I was like, really, is this real?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: You don't you don't need to bring it up with
Speaker 2: the employees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, does it?
Speaker 1: Does it?
Speaker 2: Actually?
Speaker 4: The time I did bring it up, she seemed to
Speaker 4: appreciate it. I did choose my words better than I
Speaker 4: just did. But I don't choose my words while podcasting.
Speaker 4: I saved that for the streets.
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, but not the drivers inherently no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I wish there was that option because usually
Speaker 1: I tell myself, well, Starbucks has.
Speaker 2: The amount of caffeine I need. It's stronger.
Speaker 4: But these days with their new poorovers and they're americanas
Speaker 4: it's lightweight. A nice coffee from Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Oh really?
Speaker 4: Stuff that gives me the full on anxiety I need
Speaker 4: to get through the day.
Speaker 1: What and Jitters tell us your secret ingredient.
Speaker 4: I think it is this new uh poorover thing. Are
Speaker 4: you familiar with the poor over?
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard the term, but I I just
Speaker 1: drink black coffee.
Speaker 2: It is it is a black coffee.
Speaker 4: It is just I think it's the same as you know,
Speaker 4: where you get the grounds and you do a French
Speaker 4: press but this is a cold or they can do
Speaker 4: a cold. Gone are the days of May. I have
Speaker 4: an ice coffee and then some diner waiter brings you
Speaker 4: a regular coffee on ice.
Speaker 2: It's such a slap in the face.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, they make this coffee specifically to be iced.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 1: So wow.
Speaker 4: I haven't really stuck my neck into the inner workings
Speaker 4: because they're very at this place. No photography. I don't
Speaker 4: want their secrets out. It's like a fancy Ramen place.
Speaker 1: Are you getting your coffee from Willy Wonka? It is
Speaker 1: what's happening.
Speaker 2: They won a prize, it's a national award.
Speaker 1: My grandparents are all in bed, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: get them up and we're gonna take care of this
Speaker 1: same I know what.
Speaker 4: It'll wake you up, Grandpa Joe is scrapy feet are
Speaker 4: my pillow?
Speaker 1: Hey? Those feet got up after forty years and danced
Speaker 1: and then went to a factory tour.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I remember, even as a kid, because I had hurt
Speaker 4: my ankles.
Speaker 2: Ned casts. I was like, he would be dancing right
Speaker 2: off the bat.
Speaker 1: He'd be weak suddenly. That movie seems a little unrealistic.
Speaker 2: It's the only unreal thing.
Speaker 4: I've seen chocolate rivers, but old men who've been in
Speaker 4: bed for years doing a.
Speaker 1: Jig way up into a vent. Yes, it happens all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: You have to get rid of the bubbles in your body, you.
Speaker 1: And your grandpa. But you shouldn't touch the sides of
Speaker 1: the walls.
Speaker 2: There's no shortcuts with a trophy.
Speaker 4: But yes, of course you can put fruit flavors in
Speaker 4: a stream print onto the wallpaper and lick it.
Speaker 1: And know that the Snosberry tastes like Snosberry's. Yes, look
Speaker 1: how close this drive through?
Speaker 4: Oh this is nostalgic. Have I mentioned I'm happy we're
Speaker 4: back in the car.
Speaker 1: You have a couple times, but let's talk about it
Speaker 1: again because I think it's always relevant.
Speaker 2: We were on Times Square.
Speaker 4: If you're a new listener, you probably saw the lit
Speaker 4: up billboard. I say billboard, but it was an illuminated building.
Speaker 1: It was actually a series of LED lights specifically programmed
Speaker 1: for us and our faces.
Speaker 4: In a rotation with other advertisements, but ours was deemed
Speaker 4: the most important to me. If you're a new listener, Hello,
Speaker 4: Normally we have guests, but today is one of the
Speaker 4: sod after solo episodes, which is you and I together,
Speaker 4: so it's not solo at all. But but it's solo
Speaker 4: if we are one.
Speaker 1: Unit that's right, which we are and have been since twenty.
Speaker 2: Fourteen, fourteen, and it's because we finish each other's sentence is.
Speaker 1: Part of the way I said that sounded like I
Speaker 1: was just waking up in that word, which was a
Speaker 1: great read my opinion.
Speaker 4: Actually at the start of this podcast, I hate to
Speaker 4: tell you now, but you woke up driving this Tesla
Speaker 4: is amazing. I can't believe I shook you to say
Speaker 4: turn left, but your car was already doing.
Speaker 2: It, and I was.
Speaker 1: Do you know that Blossom, my smallest and baby ist dog,
Speaker 1: snores like I just did right then? Sometimes if she
Speaker 1: gets to sleep in good enough and long enough, she'll
Speaker 1: do some real like grown man snores, And it is
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 4: Do you ever place a feather over head to see
Speaker 4: if it rises and falls with each breath?
Speaker 1: No, but you can go onto my Twitter and see
Speaker 1: the cutest picture of her, which is her looking up
Speaker 1: at me and she has a tiny white feather stuck
Speaker 1: to the end of her nose. And I took a
Speaker 1: picture because it looks so cute, until I realized I
Speaker 1: bet you she ate a bird. She is actually a carnivorous,
Speaker 1: bread blooded animal.
Speaker 4: And then you looked over at your domed cave age
Speaker 4: and the gate was wide open.
Speaker 2: No, why why do I? Why do I even have
Speaker 2: that pet bird?
Speaker 1: My gray African parrot. It was supposed to live till
Speaker 1: ninety I.
Speaker 2: Was supposed to pass it. I was supposed to bequeath
Speaker 2: that parrot to my knees.
Speaker 1: Oh, so imagine inheriting a parrot. That'd be pretty fascinating. Okay, Hi,
Speaker 1: can I get a grande ice mocha with just one
Speaker 1: pump of chocolate? Please?
Speaker 4: I would like a grande iced coffee an alsa?
Speaker 1: Okay, that ice water? Can? Can we get an ice
Speaker 1: water as well? That's gonna be a thank you? Oh?
Speaker 2: Did you know I can get this one?
Speaker 1: Oleato? Is? They put olive oil in their drinks.
Speaker 4: That reminds me too much of those potato chips that
Speaker 4: make you shit yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh did we talk about this already? No, because those
Speaker 1: are supposed to make you shit yourself as well. Well.
Speaker 2: Coffee already does that a great job?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna ask her.
Speaker 2: She's ever shared herself?
Speaker 1: Hey? Hey, how do you feel about the oleatos.
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks, sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought i'd choose this time to be the
Speaker 4: first time I paid for coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: It's all a rite off?
Speaker 2: And then you know what is the little something for her?
Speaker 1: Nice classy?
Speaker 2: Well they do.
Speaker 4: That's what I like about one of the many things.
Speaker 4: Don't get me started. I love a Starbucks. But they
Speaker 4: have a new system where you can tip.
Speaker 2: Now. It used to bother me that there was no option.
Speaker 2: Right now you can press a dollar or two dollars
Speaker 2: or three, or if your daddy war Bucks.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna say, if your daddy lets.
Speaker 2: You, if your daddy let ta get money to the
Speaker 2: coffee lady. Please daddy, please, please daddy. I promise I
Speaker 2: won't ever do that character kind of want a golden goose, daddy,
Speaker 2: here we go. Are you sure you don't want to
Speaker 2: sparkle a drink and condon?
Speaker 1: I really do.
Speaker 4: Look at hell, they're all on a clear stairway like
Speaker 4: they're on a Broadway show.
Speaker 1: I like this one. If I had picked pink and blue.
Speaker 2: My sister has that one, the one that I just picked, Well,
Speaker 2: the rainbow disco ball one. When you give her the
Speaker 2: table where your point to me so she knows it's
Speaker 2: from me.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Here, this is for you.
Speaker 2: Let's just set it here.
Speaker 1: So much honking, somebody must have like gone it through
Speaker 1: the light. My favorite graffiti used to be over there
Speaker 1: and it said I am not fat on it. That's
Speaker 1: like swear to God. Try to see if you can
Speaker 1: see it on that green box right here.
Speaker 2: I am not fat.
Speaker 1: I think they wiped it off.
Speaker 2: I guess they did.
Speaker 1: Made me laugh so hard the person I saw.
Speaker 4: It would be funny if the graffiti artist came back
Speaker 4: because they had indeed gained some weight off. I'm one
Speaker 4: thing i am as a graffiti artist, but one thing
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 2: As a liar.
Speaker 1: I'm not a liar, and I.
Speaker 2: Need the people to know. In this electric box, I
Speaker 2: have a lot of beverages.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if you have to suddenly stop, do know
Speaker 4: that your protective hand, which I always appreciate, needs to
Speaker 4: be a down a little lower so.
Speaker 1: I don't knock your coffee in there. Yeah, wonderful summer shirt.
Speaker 4: I washed my car today because you were bragging about
Speaker 4: washing yours last time.
Speaker 2: It had been many months.
Speaker 1: Did you go to a self serve place?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, I went to a one of the drive throughs
Speaker 4: with the guys at the end, and some of them
Speaker 4: passionately do some detailing just because they're feeling it, and
Speaker 4: this guy really did a great job. And then also
Speaker 4: on top of that, I parked.
Speaker 2: It in my own driveway. I ordered a uh a
Speaker 2: fuzzy disc that goes on the end of a drill. Sure,
Speaker 2: so I can wax and then don't have to use
Speaker 2: elbow grease. I can just buff. Yeah, it's a buffing system.
Speaker 2: Nice and it really makes it look great.
Speaker 4: As I was doing that, because I was parked in
Speaker 4: front of my own garage, not blocking the sidewalk, a
Speaker 4: meter person showed up and said, this is just a
Speaker 4: warning because I could see you're waxing your car, but
Speaker 4: you can get a ticket. I'm like, oh, you know what,
Speaker 4: I've always I'm glad you told me because I always
Speaker 4: wondered because I'm not I'm leaving the sidewalk open and
Speaker 4: it is my garage. She's like, yeah, you can get
Speaker 4: a ticket, just a warning. I went upstairs.
Speaker 1: Because you were blocking the garage.
Speaker 2: Because I was in front of my own garage.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to go into a semantic thing about it,
Speaker 4: but I left to walk away for the people, and
Speaker 4: went up to get a new fresh disc so I
Speaker 4: could do my final buff came back down, ticket on
Speaker 4: my car.
Speaker 2: Liar.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, she thought you left it there.
Speaker 4: Yes, or it's not for five minutes she went around
Speaker 4: the block. Oh he thought he could leave it.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you basically made her teach you a lesson.
Speaker 4: I guess I should have run up the stairs faster.
Speaker 4: It was just to get one more buffing desk.
Speaker 1: But but why five minutes?
Speaker 2: I mean it was probably less, probably a minute.
Speaker 1: I think if we could watch this in a court
Speaker 1: of law, and I wish we could. Oh, I never
Speaker 1: I didn't get drury duty, by the way.
Speaker 2: Undone, don dunk dunned. Oh you you did your civic duty.
Speaker 1: I did my civic duty, and I called every day,
Speaker 1: and I actually checked in online every day. Never got called,
Speaker 1: So it counts as doing my civic duty.
Speaker 4: But I didn't get called, right, that's what's happened to
Speaker 4: me every time.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I've never done it.
Speaker 2: I have, I used to, I know't anymore. I should.
Speaker 1: Let's get you back in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta get back in. I want to be
Speaker 2: on a big murder truck.
Speaker 1: Those are that's where all the best bits take place.
Speaker 4: My buddy Adam that works at the Thrasher magazine, we
Speaker 4: sat next to each other at graduation. He's my friend.
Speaker 4: He said that he highly recommends Your Duty. He did
Speaker 4: it for like two weeks and he was emotionally invested.
Speaker 4: He said it was good for him to work with
Speaker 4: this group of strangers and they think they made the
Speaker 4: right decision, and he said.
Speaker 2: It felt great, oh good. He also doesn't get out much.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like that review because I think oftentimes
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do is go this is a
Speaker 1: big pain in my ass. Yep, it's inconvenient, bloody blue yes,
Speaker 1: but you gotta be looking out for the points of
Speaker 1: interest now, Listen. I was stoked that I didn't have
Speaker 1: to go downtown and check in and all those things.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the kind of thing where like,
Speaker 1: how are you ever going to have an experience like
Speaker 1: that in any other part of your life?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: You gotta kind of go and show up for something
Speaker 1: like that and see what happens.
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's gotten more popular with that show
Speaker 2: Jury Duty.
Speaker 1: Well, it only just came out, right.
Speaker 2: I only just watched it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was new where it
Speaker 4: had been sitting. Yeah, it's it's like a new network.
Speaker 2: Yep, Jury Duty on free V, free V, free V.
Speaker 1: You had to watch commercials.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like TV all over again. Free V.
Speaker 1: We know you missed it. It's back FREEV.
Speaker 4: We're gonna pretend we invented it commercials.
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it was. It was.
Speaker 4: It was very Uh, it was very good. You kind
Speaker 4: of have to watch the whole thing. People were saying, oh,
Speaker 4: it's the best, and I watched a few episodes and
Speaker 4: I was like, where are the jokes?
Speaker 2: Am I supposed to be laughing? But it's more than that.
Speaker 1: It's like a it's a whole concept.
Speaker 2: It's a whole concept. They're turning reality TV up on
Speaker 2: its head.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm all for turning reality TV on it's a
Speaker 1: high time, but is it the kind of thing where
Speaker 1: there's people that are real that are in it and
Speaker 1: they don't know and they're being made fun of.
Speaker 2: I don't like that, right, And that's where I thought
Speaker 2: it was going.
Speaker 4: But as you watch it, much like the difference between
Speaker 4: Eric Andre's reality movie that road Trip thing compared to
Speaker 4: Borat or something that was celebrating people, intervening. It was
Speaker 4: showing the good in people, and that's what this show
Speaker 4: also is doing. You'd think it's gonna because this guy
Speaker 4: isn't perfect. He's kind of a dufis and they show
Speaker 4: him be a dufus. But he's also a kind person
Speaker 4: and everyone on it is an actor except for him.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, and it shows him. That's why it's a
Speaker 4: good show. It could have been a flop if this
Speaker 4: guy was like a jerk.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, great watch. It's not like, look how dumb
Speaker 1: this guy is, or look how gullible this guy.
Speaker 4: No, at first you think it's going in that direction,
Speaker 4: but he starts showing highlights and montages of him being
Speaker 4: a redeeming, sweet person with compassion, and that becomes the
Speaker 4: purpose of the show, and so as you watch it,
Speaker 4: it's it.
Speaker 2: That's the payoff.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is nice.
Speaker 1: We need more good vibes. That's the ted Lasso influence
Speaker 1: in modern media.
Speaker 2: It's a good.
Speaker 4: Vibe summer and we're all horning for it. And I'm
Speaker 4: hoarning for this time. Jesus said, in this world you
Speaker 4: will have tribulation, but fear not fear is bold because
Speaker 4: I have overcome the world. Matt three sixteen Matt, isn't
Speaker 4: it Matthew? It is That guy's on an abbreviated name
Speaker 4: Basis with one of the apostles.
Speaker 1: He has read the Bible so much he is allowed
Speaker 1: to call him Matt.
Speaker 2: I mean, he chose to have that made. I have
Speaker 2: to see his face.
Speaker 1: You know what it is?
Speaker 2: Beat up.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I was already looking. And it's a
Speaker 1: place that provides food for homeless people. Okay, right, I
Speaker 1: noticed it too, and I was like, way to go, Matt.
Speaker 4: This is like that time we're making fun of that
Speaker 4: guy's industrial bumper and it turned out to be a
Speaker 4: ramp for a chair.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
Speaker 1: That. Oh we've been wrong a lot on.
Speaker 2: This show, Yes we have, but we always recover.
Speaker 1: This is human life.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I haven't gotten a strongly worded email but a long
Speaker 4: time as far as I know, although sometimes I don't
Speaker 4: open my email. So that's a good that's a good
Speaker 4: way around that.
Speaker 1: Well. Also, I think it's good that people are with
Speaker 1: us when we make our judgments, our snap judgments.
Speaker 2: We rush to judgment, right.
Speaker 1: We love it, I do. It's fun. Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: oh god, and.
Speaker 4: Then of course it's an.
Speaker 1: And then we realize we have an epiphany about being wrong,
Speaker 1: and then we talk about, oh good, we were wrong,
Speaker 1: that that thing we assumed just bad is actually a
Speaker 1: good thing.
Speaker 4: Right, And it's easy to listen and then think about
Speaker 4: it and then come back to us with what we
Speaker 4: should have said or where we could look at things.
Speaker 4: But you didn't have that split second. We are on
Speaker 4: our tiptoes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're just receiving the world around us, yes,
Speaker 1: and commenting contrary.
Speaker 4: To what you think these past years. This podcast is
Speaker 4: not scripted.
Speaker 2: I mean, holl for Karen.
Speaker 1: Whoops, Sorry, don't read the stage directions aloud.
Speaker 2: Sorry, there's so many stage directions. People. Why do we
Speaker 2: wear these sequent outfits.
Speaker 1: It's for the vibes, Yeah, yeah, it's to really deliver
Speaker 1: in every way.
Speaker 4: Speaking of this guy, this guy, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Dare you have a problem with me in my van
Speaker 2: in the middle of the road.
Speaker 1: When's the last time you saw a bald guy with
Speaker 1: a cigarette sticking out of his mouth going to do
Speaker 1: stuff in his illegally parked van. Because I can't recommend
Speaker 1: the vision enough.
Speaker 2: You gotta come to this part of town.
Speaker 1: North Hollywood, baby.
Speaker 4: North Hollywood. Do you want vans parked in the middle?
Speaker 4: You want tough guys?
Speaker 2: You got it?
Speaker 1: How about a husky? Can you see that dog?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Barely, but I ears a little larger than most dogs
Speaker 4: of his.
Speaker 1: Breed or their breed.
Speaker 2: It's breed. Maybe that's a big Oh.
Speaker 1: It could be part shepherd. That's the van.
Speaker 4: That's the van. He scared our favorite dog. That's now
Speaker 4: he's like, is there vans on this side?
Speaker 1: He's thank you? I better look out for vans over here.
Speaker 2: I mean that dog has the lightest blue eyes.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: I think that dog should be wearing sunglasses.
Speaker 1: That dog definitely needs to go to the optometrist.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be that optometrist.
Speaker 1: You know, I wish you would not pose as a
Speaker 1: veterinary amptometrist anymore because you're going to get into trouble.
Speaker 2: And I'm just putting on rubbers.
Speaker 1: But I realize I need to go to the optometrists
Speaker 1: because these goddamn ray band sunglasses that I have. Sure
Speaker 1: they look great, Sure I took them to Europe this
Speaker 1: summer and succeeded. But when I take them off, they
Speaker 1: press into my cheeks.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know.
Speaker 1: The thing ray bans do where they're tipped backwards a
Speaker 1: little bit on the bottom right, and they like cut
Speaker 1: the wind chill factor or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's how James Dean liked them.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I didn't realize that's what I was getting.
Speaker 1: So every time I am like in a sephora and
Speaker 1: I throw my sunglasses up on top of my head,
Speaker 1: there's just two red rings I'm undermine.
Speaker 2: See you here? See oops? What was that?
Speaker 1: I was going too fast for these cars? Being stock?
Speaker 4: Oh wow, yes, you really can't do anything wrong in
Speaker 4: this thing.
Speaker 1: You really, you can be asleep.
Speaker 2: See I can put my well ded juts right.
Speaker 4: Look how I can rub my even And that's how
Speaker 4: I like my glasses.
Speaker 1: Not no entry, no way. Oh wow, they're right up
Speaker 1: against it.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it makes sense.
Speaker 4: We're not supposed to put our dirty digits on our corneas.
Speaker 4: I have a problem with glasses always pressing. There's nodes
Speaker 4: maybe behind our ears. Please don't do it, because and
Speaker 4: that's why I went back and bought them again after
Speaker 4: losing them. Uh, there are times when I thought I
Speaker 4: was someone that couldn't wear glasses, and then if you
Speaker 4: just gotta get the right ones.
Speaker 1: But when because if they were like pressing too hard
Speaker 1: ye back there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is all boring, but a lot of
Speaker 4: people might relate to that. How do you have glasses
Speaker 4: to press on these? I'm worried about these bumps behind
Speaker 4: my ear, is what I'm saying. Other people have painful nodes,
Speaker 4: y nodules, moles, they're not bols.
Speaker 1: Although did I ever show you the picture of the time,
Speaker 1: And this was I think during quarantine, so I didn't.
Speaker 1: I woke up with a pain behind my ear and
Speaker 1: it was like bugging me where I was like, what
Speaker 1: is that? That's like, it's not a zid, It's not
Speaker 1: an increase of my ear. It's like in the space
Speaker 1: behind my ear, the tint of your ear. And so
Speaker 1: I just ended up taking a picture, like pulling my
Speaker 1: ear back and taking a picture. I think it was
Speaker 1: a spider bite. There was like a bump and then
Speaker 1: the entire behind my ear was like purple.
Speaker 2: Do you still wear those sunglasses made of spiders?
Speaker 1: Oh? Is that what it was?
Speaker 4: They're Halloween novelty, but the fire clawity ones are real.
Speaker 1: Spider You can't expect a spider not to buy you
Speaker 1: if it's there on your sunglasses. All day and night. Right,
Speaker 1: it's too much to ask.
Speaker 2: And that was always my issue with glasses.
Speaker 4: When I would wear them, I suddenly it's hard to
Speaker 4: get I'm used to them now, but I used to
Speaker 4: put them on and sudden and forget that I'm wearing
Speaker 4: them suddenly, and the periphery my peripheral vision. I pick
Speaker 4: up the frames and I think it's a spider or
Speaker 4: a bug, and I swap them and they fly and
Speaker 4: go into a sewer drain.
Speaker 2: Has anyone had that problem? Oh no, it's a spider.
Speaker 1: Just cartoon characters.
Speaker 4: Five hundred dollars glasses down the drain. There's always a
Speaker 4: manhole sometimes, do you ever do this? You're on a
Speaker 4: construction site and you're walking on one of the beams
Speaker 4: and it rotated at the last minute, and you continue
Speaker 4: to walk out and you hear the construction people yelling.
Speaker 1: Just when I was a baby, that's mister, and that baby.
Speaker 1: There's a baby one two?
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, the baby crawling.
Speaker 1: Yeap. The baby gets out of the house and then
Speaker 1: you watch the baby have a highly dangerous day where
Speaker 1: nothing happens to the baby.
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of these stay at home dads, they
Speaker 4: pick up a construction gig.
Speaker 2: Of course you get to take your baby.
Speaker 4: Up on the seventieth floor that you're working on, put
Speaker 4: it in your lunch pale.
Speaker 1: That's how it was in the fifties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a simpler time.
Speaker 1: When you were in grammar school and did you carry
Speaker 1: a lunch paal to school? Lunchbox is what we called
Speaker 1: them in the seventies.
Speaker 2: I did, and it was a Duke's to hazard nice lunchbox. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: in theory.
Speaker 4: But there's a flag on the top of that car
Speaker 4: that Oh I'm glad there's no photo evidence.
Speaker 2: Yes, there is an offensive bixy flag.
Speaker 1: That flag that is offensive at the time. That was
Speaker 1: back before racism.
Speaker 2: Right right before racism was a problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, everything was so racist back then. It's insane,
Speaker 1: Like if we did have a bunch of photo evidence
Speaker 1: of all those times, the problems would never end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: It's crazy when one day you realize your favorite John
Speaker 4: Hughes movie Growing Up, is.
Speaker 2: Riddled with offensive lines.
Speaker 4: It's just certain things don't hold up, and they shouldn't.
Speaker 4: But it is such a weird expect it from sixteen
Speaker 4: candles well.
Speaker 1: And also it's just such a marker of time where
Speaker 1: it's like forty years have passed since that movie came out.
Speaker 1: And you can tell.
Speaker 4: When you say grammar school because I where I'm from,
Speaker 4: we called it elementary school. Okay, it's just the going phrase.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: My uncle used to visit from Seattle and he would
Speaker 4: always ask me house grammar school, and I'd be puzzled
Speaker 4: with that, and then he'd follow it up with are
Speaker 4: you taking arithmetic? And I'd say, uh no, no, I'm not.
Speaker 4: It's like, really no arithmetic. I'm like, no, I do not.
Speaker 2: We do not take arithmetic at my school. He thought
Speaker 2: I was at some some free wheeling monassory, right I did.
Speaker 4: It took maybe into my twenties to realize that means math.
Speaker 1: Well, why was he talking to you like it was
Speaker 1: eighteen ten?
Speaker 2: We just didn't have a lot to talk about. He
Speaker 2: was an old timey guy. He wore a lot of you,
Speaker 2: wore a lot of olive.
Speaker 4: Green tweed suits, and had a curly red mustache.
Speaker 2: He watched the Tips.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, this was a time traveler, Chris he
Speaker 1: every year.
Speaker 4: I remember he came from Seattle on a giant bike
Speaker 4: front wheel, big wheel on the front, and my Grandpad
Speaker 4: always goes, thank God, I know that Chimney will be swept.
Speaker 2: So you're telling me he's from the eighteen hundreds. You're
Speaker 2: telling me this visiting Chimney sweep is a fiction of
Speaker 2: my own imagination.
Speaker 4: Now, he's a sweet man, and he would uh just
Speaker 4: bring money for Christmas, give it to my grandparents and
Speaker 4: then they would buy all the gifts with his money.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: But I didn't realize that. So you'd open a gift
Speaker 4: from him and I'd.
Speaker 2: Be like, oh cool, and he go, what I get you?
Speaker 4: And I always thought that was like a deadbeat mom's
Speaker 4: uncle thing to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, he actually did get it.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: He didn't want to do the shopping.
Speaker 4: There's so many things I'd like to tell him now
Speaker 4: he has passed many years ago, but I.
Speaker 2: Would like to say, yes, I did take.
Speaker 4: Bath, and thank you for all the presents with other
Speaker 4: people's names on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Gordon, thank you Gordon Gordon.
Speaker 1: So he really did wear tweet suits and have an
Speaker 1: orange orange mustache.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he.
Speaker 4: Lived alone, and I think his whole life I believe
Speaker 4: was gay and never addressed it and never was able
Speaker 4: to live a life because he wanted to live because
Speaker 4: of the.
Speaker 1: Times, because of the Dukes of hazard, because.
Speaker 4: Of the goddamn Duke boys. He wanted to slide over
Speaker 4: the hood of a car. He just wasn't agile. But
Speaker 4: I did go to his apartment when when I was
Speaker 4: a kid, and he had a new TV and the
Speaker 4: TV he had previous and the TV previous to that.
Speaker 4: They were stacked. It was a nice, neat stack. But
Speaker 4: the first TV from the was turner that it was
Speaker 4: like the first TV that ever came out.
Speaker 1: Yes, because those was it like a big piece of furniture,
Speaker 1: like the kind that looked like a big It was dresser.
Speaker 4: They got progressively smaller and older, as they said, So
Speaker 4: it was the smallest oldest TV. Yeah, but yeah, the
Speaker 4: bottom the nice one, the newest one.
Speaker 1: Yes was oh so he oh, I guess it didn't
Speaker 1: go up and went down the stack.
Speaker 4: Yes, so you could take the new TV put that
Speaker 4: on the bottom. Yep, take the old TV. So it
Speaker 4: was you know, it was more based on size. The
Speaker 4: one in the middle could have been the oldest.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: No, he did a from top to bottom, small to bottom,
Speaker 4: small to the bigger stack stack. The way the Aliens
Speaker 4: built the Pyramids, Yes, but yeah, he was a sweet man.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 4: You know, it'd only come during Christmas, so I didn't
Speaker 4: know him very well.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you brought that money.
Speaker 2: He did bring that money.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that reminds me and I'm so sorry. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna go into our segment, which is Karen telling
Speaker 1: Chris TikTok videos of one of the worst ways to
Speaker 1: experience TikTok is by another person just verbally telling you
Speaker 1: about one. But I don't care because this is my
Speaker 1: new compulsion. So this one, I think I found it.
Speaker 1: And this is the kind of the contest is me
Speaker 1: and my sister and my friend Audrey, We're all we
Speaker 1: just send each other tiktoks all day and so sometimes
Speaker 1: I have like twenty waiting for me because those guys
Speaker 1: have been doing it all day because they're both on
Speaker 1: vacation right now. And then I'm like not sending as
Speaker 1: many at the moment, but then if I have a break,
Speaker 1: I'll be sending them all the time. But what you
Speaker 1: want to do is get the funniest one first, because
Speaker 1: sometimes you send the funniest one at the same time
Speaker 1: or like stagger, you know, right after and this I
Speaker 1: found the funniest one lately, and basically it's it's a
Speaker 1: video of a family in a family room on Christmas even,
Speaker 1: you know, Christmas Eve night or whatever, and they're all
Speaker 1: doing a white elephant gift swap and and it says
Speaker 1: written on the bottom, we stole a bunch of Grandma's
Speaker 1: stuff to do the white elephant this year. So somebody
Speaker 1: opens one of the presents and then she goes Everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's nice, and then she goes, I got one of those.
Speaker 1: And then the next person opens the gift and she goes, hey,
Speaker 1: that's mine, and then she opens the next one, and
Speaker 1: she keeps doing it, and it like literally six times,
Speaker 1: and by the end she's laughing. So but she's like
Speaker 1: old lady laughing because she finally gets what that they're
Speaker 1: just pranking her, And the entire thing is a prank.
Speaker 1: It is so funny. It's and then she opens one
Speaker 1: and it's from her. She goes, he's been out in
Speaker 1: the garage. Oh that's so great, like old plates. Oh,
Speaker 1: if you could experience it firsthand, you would love it.
Speaker 2: No I did.
Speaker 4: I thought it was scripted at first, so I thought
Speaker 4: it was actors. Oh, where's this sketch going.
Speaker 2: No, this is real.
Speaker 1: It's most of the stuff on I find TikTok is.
Speaker 2: Real, right right? And then and then the caption really
Speaker 2: sells it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're there with a family pranking grandma. How
Speaker 1: wholesome is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, more grandma's have to be pranked.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: The one that we always did with my grandma, she'd
Speaker 4: step on a rake in the yard.
Speaker 2: No, it happened to her twice.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm starting to have questions. She broke her nose
Speaker 4: once and she'd say, I stepped on a rake. Oh oh,
Speaker 4: and then it happened again.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I know.
Speaker 4: This moment of silence is contemplative, but it is also
Speaker 4: I think one of the time.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where.
Speaker 4: I backed I Yes, that was the story she told
Speaker 4: me two different times.
Speaker 2: She stepped on a rake. Who okay, like in goonies
Speaker 2: and there was scary things on that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we all get what that is. But then
Speaker 1: who could have done it? Your grandpa? Yeah? No, no, no.
Speaker 2: If you're in my family right now and you're listening,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm just stating the facts.
Speaker 1: Is this. This is like an illustration.
Speaker 2: There were no other major signs along with.
Speaker 1: When you said the Aliens built the pyramids, an illustration
Speaker 1: of the problematic past. We're both from.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't like what I've drawn, but.
Speaker 1: Also it's happening in real time because you just realized
Speaker 1: that the odds are very low.
Speaker 2: But I mean there were rakes in the yard?
Speaker 1: How many? I mean whatking?
Speaker 2: No, the grass and montana clumps up, you have to
Speaker 2: rake it.
Speaker 1: You're in denial.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 1: That's intense.
Speaker 2: It is intense. This is a highly tense episode.
Speaker 1: We got to work through this.
Speaker 2: It wasn't Gordon. I'll tell you that he was a gentleman.
Speaker 1: It was the guy before Gordon.
Speaker 2: Oh, the TV before Gordon.
Speaker 4: Just a stack of Gordon's oh man on my back
Speaker 4: started to sweat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one was well, you just truly realized something awful.
Speaker 2: Who was punching my grandma Karen?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to know, I don't.
Speaker 4: Let's not talk about it anymore. Ooh, look Flappers Comedy Club.
Speaker 1: Adam Conover is going to be there in July fourteenth,
Speaker 1: and of course Jay Leno will be there the next day. Hey,
Speaker 1: remember that news story where Jay Leno was burned with chemicals.
Speaker 4: I do remember that that was upseting. I think it
Speaker 4: was fired. The chemicals let on fire. He was burnt
Speaker 4: with fire.
Speaker 1: But he must be okay if he's at Flappers next week.
Speaker 2: He had skin grafts, He had a lot of work,
Speaker 2: was major.
Speaker 1: Oh are you serious?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was back to doing well healing. He
Speaker 4: was back at the Comedy and Magic Club doing stand up,
Speaker 4: making jokes about it, of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the jokes was, I told myself I'd
Speaker 2: never be a roast comic. He had bits for the
Speaker 2: news on the sidewalk in front of it.
Speaker 1: That's horrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just at the last minute, it was. He reassured
Speaker 4: us that he's he's going to be okay, But I
Speaker 4: also reassured us that he's not the best joke writer.
Speaker 1: All in one swoop, he is a good joke writer.
Speaker 1: Though I will always defend seventy for.
Speaker 4: The Dorito's commercials. Yes, something happened on that set.
Speaker 1: What Doo's commercial?
Speaker 2: He used to crunch, all you want, we'll make.
Speaker 1: More, remember that, Yes, I do. It was that nineties,
Speaker 1: two thousands.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It was during that time. I was sat in front
Speaker 4: of the TV and had it raised me.
Speaker 1: How many did you guys have stacked up?
Speaker 2: We had?
Speaker 4: I think that we did our due diligence and my
Speaker 4: parents did jury duty and they threw away that today
Speaker 4: called the dump and they came and picked up our
Speaker 4: old TVs. Yeah, but I think that maybe I had
Speaker 4: the same TV my whole adolescence in childhood from arithmetic
Speaker 4: into math.
Speaker 1: The full transition. M. I realized that the reason I
Speaker 1: was suggesting that your uncle's oldest TV was in a
Speaker 1: big cabinet because and it was that's what our first
Speaker 1: one was.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like the speaker had wooden lattice over it, like, yes,
Speaker 4: it's a whole.
Speaker 1: And sparkles material with sparkles in it.
Speaker 4: You had to put a coaster on top of the TV.
Speaker 4: That's how furniture it was. Yeah, people would leave their
Speaker 4: drinks on it.
Speaker 1: Everything was big and wooden back then. Mm hm, like
Speaker 1: everything chook up. A lot of space cars were really
Speaker 1: big and long.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a day of metal and wood It
Speaker 4: was an era of materials.
Speaker 1: And now everything is plastic and there's microplastics in our blood.
Speaker 4: And I'm drinking through a straw right now and I'd
Speaker 4: like to apologize to my nieces.
Speaker 2: It's just better for sound. If I tip the cup back,
Speaker 2: you can hear the ice jiggling.
Speaker 1: These are we got these straws, and then we'll use
Speaker 1: these straws for the rest of the month.
Speaker 2: This is a do you need to ride a nostalgic neighborhood?
Speaker 2: Where are we?
Speaker 1: This is?
Speaker 2: Are we going to be going by that haunted house?
Speaker 1: Yep, it's that part of Burbank that we love.
Speaker 2: But it is hard to find that haunted house.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: We've only found it a few times. Go back in
Speaker 4: the archives there is a there's a picture of the house.
Speaker 4: A few episodes where we replaced our poster with the picture.
Speaker 4: The other time was the time we went to NASA
Speaker 4: Space Camp.
Speaker 2: Mmmm hm. But it's beautiful.
Speaker 4: That's one thing when I'm moved to Los Angeles, these mountains.
Speaker 2: You don't know one more into you that you're going
Speaker 2: to be surrounded by mountains.
Speaker 4: Maybe people don't know that if you come to LA
Speaker 4: and you look into the distance there's a snow capped mountain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me what's not to love about that?
Speaker 1: It's great perspective.
Speaker 2: Yes, from a distance, Yeah, I don't want to hike
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: No. Also, these mountains do you remember the year? And
Speaker 1: I would say it was probably twenty twelve, somewhere on
Speaker 1: the Thames, and these mountains all caught on fire. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I came out of CBS one night and looked to
Speaker 1: the right and it looked like we were in a
Speaker 1: like a movie about living in hell. Like just the
Speaker 1: entire surrounding mountain side, which seemed very close because it
Speaker 1: was on fire, was on fire. It was so crazy
Speaker 1: and like surreal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing. What signs we thought were the end
Speaker 4: of the world before COVID. Now if we sign an
Speaker 4: entire mountain range on fire, we'd be like, well, it's no.
Speaker 2: Pandemic, right, Yeah, the pan it's beautiful, The street's beautiful.
Speaker 4: They we got mountains in the background and it's lined
Speaker 4: with perfectly straight palm trees, which are not indigenous to
Speaker 4: the area.
Speaker 1: No, And in fact, I saw a TikTok that said
Speaker 1: in about thirty to fifty years, these palm trees are
Speaker 1: all going to die.
Speaker 2: I hearing that for a long time or did.
Speaker 1: I say it on a different episode?
Speaker 4: No, not from you, You've backed it up. I've heard
Speaker 4: it for a long time. Now, have you prepodcast?
Speaker 1: I've never heard it, and it upsets me. The idea
Speaker 1: of that I don't like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like palm trees last forty or fifty years.
Speaker 1: My childhood voval.
Speaker 4: They're oh, yeah, it's always wanted one of those boxy,
Speaker 4: heavy bastards.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's sad. Although when things are windy
Speaker 1: and those palm froms fall from one hundred feet in
Speaker 1: the air, that's very dangerous.
Speaker 4: Not to mention riddled with a spider's nest or maybe
Speaker 4: a rat.
Speaker 2: M h when I've always.
Speaker 4: Thought this would be I have a lot of things
Speaker 4: that scare me during Halloween, but one is walking under
Speaker 4: a palm tree and yes, frond could hit you and
Speaker 4: knock you out. A man who trims palm trees died
Speaker 4: on my street ones. Oh no, yeah, I don't mean
Speaker 4: to have grim but we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Life, baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But I always thought, because we've been told there's rats
Speaker 4: up there, what if you're walking under a palm tree
Speaker 4: and as spider nest fell and landed on your head
Speaker 4: like Winnie the Pooh's honeybucket.
Speaker 2: No, just think about it. For instance, Now you'd scream,
Speaker 2: but it's just.
Speaker 1: No, you can't scream because you're opening your mouth to
Speaker 1: more spiders. Yeah, so you better zip it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that you started that story by saying that
Speaker 1: the things around Halloween that scared you, as if you're
Speaker 1: different than everybody.
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of people want to be scared. Have
Speaker 4: you heard about these houses? These these these it's called
Speaker 4: like Mayfair Mansion or something. It's people have died. They
Speaker 4: actually torture you, they actually pull your teeth and stuff. No,
Speaker 4: and there's a line of like twenty five thousand people
Speaker 4: wanting to know.
Speaker 1: People are lying.
Speaker 4: Yes, I looked. I went to the website. It says
Speaker 4: permanently closed, something bad happened.
Speaker 1: Well, so you're saying it's a it's a like.
Speaker 2: A haunted house experience.
Speaker 1: But they they get to pull your teeth, they.
Speaker 4: Full contact, they torture you. People want to do this.
Speaker 4: It's goes into the some realm of s and m
Speaker 4: I don't know. Oh oh, but it's it's it's scary
Speaker 4: and it's thus in the country and it's something Mayfield
Speaker 4: manor or maybe something. I just was reading about it
Speaker 4: and watching videos about it, and the guy that runs
Speaker 4: it is the scariest person I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would probably be some sort of a sadist
Speaker 1: I would imagine if he's started business.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and that is a part of me
Speaker 2: that I just don't.
Speaker 4: It's scary enough just at the County Fair going into
Speaker 4: a dark fold out trailer that has people, yeah, and mirrors.
Speaker 2: I don't. I guess I've done the one here. It's
Speaker 2: so funny.
Speaker 4: We're talking about Halloween in the middle all of the summer.
Speaker 4: That's we're getting you ready on the Queen Mary, that
Speaker 4: ship that's already haunted with real ghats. Yes, Like I
Speaker 4: remember looking down the hallway and there's mattresses and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh wow, they really they even made it
Speaker 4: scary down there. And they're like, oh no, that's just
Speaker 4: like that. We don't move those mattresses. Everyone's scared of
Speaker 4: this place. The guy in mine.
Speaker 2: Told me that.
Speaker 4: But there was actual people and they've chainsaws. There's no
Speaker 4: chain on it. But they aren't allowed to touch you though,
Speaker 4: And once you know that, it's like, okay, as long
Speaker 4: as no one grabs me, I'm gonna be fine, because
Speaker 4: you know me, My my first instinct is to do
Speaker 4: a right hook.
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, because if someone's grabbing you and you're already
Speaker 1: in fear, you're no longer at a haunted house. Now
Speaker 1: you're being assaulted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fight or flight, and I fight.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I keep saying, baby, I don't know what that's.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the sum it's your summer vibe. Me.
Speaker 1: I just that's very interesting though, because I think I
Speaker 1: saw a documentary now that you're now that we're talking
Speaker 1: about this, but you're the tooth pulling distracted me. I
Speaker 1: saw one where in the contract, Yeah, where do they
Speaker 1: do the thing where they take people off of the street. Uh?
Speaker 2: No, I think it's you.
Speaker 4: You submit to it, and you there's a waiting list
Speaker 4: and you fill out this contract that says, yes, you
Speaker 4: can pull off my fingernails.
Speaker 2: Okay, well this one insane.
Speaker 1: This one might be slightly different. But for this one
Speaker 1: that you sign up for, they come and take you
Speaker 1: when you don't expect them to.
Speaker 2: Oh so you don't go there, Oh that's part of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know about the pickup. I
Speaker 4: guess that's nice. They have a car service.
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing is it's truly crazy.
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's no part of me that wants that,
Speaker 4: just for just so you know, if you're ever thinking
Speaker 4: of getting me a gift, Okay, I do.
Speaker 2: Not want to do that.
Speaker 1: No to self. Cancel the attack, Cancel the birthday attack
Speaker 1: for Chris, I do.
Speaker 4: Not want it's it's awful and no one has ever
Speaker 4: won the prize.
Speaker 2: They always quit early.
Speaker 4: Wait what prize you get? Like fifty grand if you
Speaker 4: go through the whole experience.
Speaker 2: That's why. That's what I hate about it.
Speaker 4: It is it's dangling money, just like most reality shows,
Speaker 4: but also are eating bugs and things on TV so
Speaker 4: they can get money.
Speaker 1: But okay, that's totally crazy because if you're doing it
Speaker 1: for money, but they're pulling out your fingernails or teeth,
Speaker 1: then that is just that's horrifying.
Speaker 4: It's just as crazy as that a live show that
Speaker 4: I love watching where you live in a frozen tundra
Speaker 4: for see how long you can last. Just when I
Speaker 4: found out it's just for one million dollars, that's not
Speaker 4: even a down payment on a house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially after taxes.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. They don't mention taxes on that show.
Speaker 1: Oh, because they're big tax evaighters on that show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they don't make their taxes.
Speaker 1: But it's a different thing to like on a loan.
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm going to roll the dice and put
Speaker 1: myself at risk to potentially be harmed, but probably not.
Speaker 1: Maybe starve a little bit, maybe see a wild animal
Speaker 1: that no one will actually let me be attacked by.
Speaker 1: But the other thing you're talking about, you were guaranteed
Speaker 1: to be attacked and hurt inside.
Speaker 2: No, have you seen alive or alone?
Speaker 1: I've seen the billboard live or alone.
Speaker 4: Not the one with a soccer team where everyone eats
Speaker 4: and I'd be the first to.
Speaker 1: Eat a person, no hesitation. Yeah, day two, it's it's
Speaker 1: alone because I've seen. I have friends that like to
Speaker 1: talk about it on Twitter.
Speaker 4: The only thing is there are establishing shots. They you know,
Speaker 4: they have a camera with them and and theoretically they
Speaker 4: are filming everything with body cams and they're but then
Speaker 4: they'll have like a swooping crane shot of their dwelling
Speaker 4: they made and it's like, Okay, there is a cameraman
Speaker 4: there with a power bar in his pocket. But I
Speaker 4: really don't think they intervene because they are like they
Speaker 4: show them in danger.
Speaker 2: Who knows well kind of danger?
Speaker 4: Very bears ankles break. I guess you can't really prevent
Speaker 4: that without sandwich. But there's a there's a lot of
Speaker 4: stuff that. I mean, they all star vase. They've stopped
Speaker 4: one woman. I really wanted her to win because she
Speaker 4: made the best insulated cabin. It was two layers of logs, perfect,
Speaker 4: and she insulated it with like juniper bushes and it
Speaker 4: was a cozy cabin warmed by the fire, was under
Speaker 4: these slates of rock that then heated her bed.
Speaker 2: It was amazing.
Speaker 4: And then she was going because she was only eating
Speaker 4: berries and didn't want to kill animals, which those people
Speaker 4: that just ate animals, they weren't getting all the nutrition either.
Speaker 2: You starve no matter what. But she was going crazy.
Speaker 4: She made a stuffed animal and was holding it like
Speaker 4: it was a baby and talking to herself. And they
Speaker 4: finally intervened and said, you are in danger of having
Speaker 4: heart problems because your body is eating away at itself.
Speaker 2: We're pulling you from the show. And she's like, no,
Speaker 2: I feel great. Look at me. Did all these juniper
Speaker 2: beanie babies.
Speaker 1: Took one tooth dangling out of her head? It was well, sorry,
Speaker 1: So she was a vegetarian or vegan that was trying to.
Speaker 4: Do it right and made it longer than the guy
Speaker 4: that's like, I kill all the animals, and he like
Speaker 4: immediately killed a moose and that's why the wolverines kept
Speaker 4: eating his moose meat.
Speaker 2: So he made a moose tower.
Speaker 4: Then the wolverines figured out how to make their own ladder.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the.
Speaker 4: Details, but he he was, Yeah, the people just eating
Speaker 4: foosh and fish and moose and fosh mess.
Speaker 2: There's guys just thought they could get by on fosh
Speaker 2: and meats.
Speaker 1: They're idiots.
Speaker 2: You can't make up an animal and think you're gonna survive.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm out here. I'm gonna eat foosh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: eat mess. I'm fine.
Speaker 2: I hate to pieces.
Speaker 4: And then and then the other people that like this
Speaker 4: one guy killed the I guess I really liked the show.
Speaker 4: This guy killed squirrel and then he was crying. He's
Speaker 4: like it was this big tough guy.
Speaker 2: He's like, the.
Speaker 4: Squirrel was my only friend. And he had like an
Speaker 4: little ceremony. Oh yeah, it was sad.
Speaker 1: But it seems like, I mean not to be judgmental
Speaker 1: of these people who just are trying to be on
Speaker 1: a TV show. Obviously at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: but win.
Speaker 2: A million dollars? What do they think?
Speaker 1: What do they think was gonna happen? It's called alone.
Speaker 1: They're flying you out into the middle of Alaska. You
Speaker 1: think you're not gonna have to kill a squirrel, right,
Speaker 1: at best a squirrel.
Speaker 4: They are all survivalists that know the road. They definitely
Speaker 4: have camped for more than a weekend. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 4: like their thing, it's their hobby.
Speaker 1: And yet here come the water works when you have
Speaker 1: to kill.
Speaker 4: A squirrel, right, right, that guy is his strengths lie
Speaker 4: to other places other than squirrel murder.
Speaker 2: They all have their strength.
Speaker 1: His strength was building shrines and crying useless.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an interesting show because it's different types of people,
Speaker 4: different strengths. And you think so and so the tough
Speaker 4: guy with the Also, you can bring your own things,
Speaker 4: and some people are like I brought some line and
Speaker 4: some hooks and this comfortable pair of shoes. And another
Speaker 4: guy's like I brought underwear and this rifle. Like they
Speaker 4: can have weapons, not guns, but one guy had a
Speaker 4: like a crossbow. You think everyone would want a crossbow,
Speaker 4: but not everyone's a bow hunter, right, and that guy
Speaker 4: did not win, and then they had like a total
Speaker 4: tough guy that's like I kill everything.
Speaker 2: In day two, he fell and rolled his ankle and
Speaker 2: he called He's like, I gotta get out of her
Speaker 2: my ankle. He was talking so tough. That's why I
Speaker 2: love the show. That guy got kicked off.
Speaker 4: And then the lady that was making stuffed animal friends
Speaker 4: almost she went like three months or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she hung in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool. It's cool, but it does get.
Speaker 4: Gross because you have to see them prepare these gross
Speaker 4: meals and eat them.
Speaker 2: I wish that part. I wish they would pick laid.
Speaker 1: That you mean like squirrel barbecue type of.
Speaker 4: Stuff, yeah, or fish super I won't even get what
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: Or sip.
Speaker 4: They were sipping on some fish and I did not
Speaker 4: like to watch it, just the sounds.
Speaker 1: Smoke an indo, the pieces on. Sorry, I liked it.
Speaker 1: I have seen that alone. Billboard. For some reason. I
Speaker 1: really liked the billboard when it was all the people
Speaker 1: standing there. I don't know if it was season one
Speaker 1: or what, because I was like, the first time I
Speaker 1: saw the billboard there was one lady on it where
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's kind of how I dress that's what
Speaker 1: I would look like if I was on the show.
Speaker 1: She was like one of the ladies with her arms crossed.
Speaker 1: It was. It kind of just made me laugh. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It was like a lot of people get pulled in
Speaker 2: by the.
Speaker 1: Fashion, you know, the fashion of I don't have to
Speaker 1: get ready, I can pull on a beanie and make
Speaker 1: this flannel work for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is everything about it. I really you know,
Speaker 4: I might give it another go.
Speaker 1: How many do you know how many seasons? There have been?
Speaker 2: Many?
Speaker 1: Oh? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Four, five, six, maybe ten, anywhere from four to ten,
Speaker 4: certainly nine, eight or nine?
Speaker 1: Though, Chris, are you letting the coffee talk for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Strong, I don't need my pullover French press. This
Speaker 2: has given me the jitners. I don't know what's gonna
Speaker 2: fly out of my mouth.
Speaker 1: Pull over French troll?
Speaker 4: God two rakesh, sorry god, no, just you know, momentarily, Hey,
Speaker 4: what's that?
Speaker 2: What are they doing?
Speaker 1: They're having a summertime experience.
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's not. He should be walking next to her.
Speaker 2: If if what I've learned from fifties movies is correct,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: You have to switch the lady out, put it in
Speaker 1: on the inside.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Something I do practice moving ladies around as you walk
Speaker 1: down the street.
Speaker 2: No, I practiced pushing people into the street. I'm not
Speaker 2: ever gonna do it, but it's good to practice.
Speaker 1: You and then you push them and you go, I'm
Speaker 1: the lady now, God, you know I'm on the inside.
Speaker 2: This coffee, Karen, I can't believe I even said that.
Speaker 2: It's not even to joke about pushing ladies in the street.
Speaker 2: It's that's caffeine.
Speaker 1: Look, oh, do you remember that story from long ago?
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: I would say, thank you, No, what's the story.
Speaker 1: No problem, it's a story out of London. I would say.
Speaker 1: It was in the late teens, pre COVID story on
Speaker 1: a bridge in London morning time commute hour.
Speaker 2: The London Bridge.
Speaker 1: No, okay, I think that's for show.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I think it's for this or if it's.
Speaker 1: Not a bridge, it was like a street that was
Speaker 1: had a very narrow sidewalk. Ladies jogging guide jogs is
Speaker 1: the other direction from her. He pushes her into the
Speaker 1: street and a bus slams on its brakes and just
Speaker 1: barely misses hitting her.
Speaker 2: Is this a TikTok.
Speaker 1: This is no, this is a real thing that happened.
Speaker 1: And then they thought they found the guy, and then
Speaker 1: the guy who was they thought they found who did it?
Speaker 1: Like based on with all the CCTV cameras and everything
Speaker 1: they have over there, it was an American and he
Speaker 1: had an alibi like I was not there, I wasn't
Speaker 1: in England, and so basically it was like so nothing
Speaker 1: came of it, but they you can see the footage
Speaker 1: you can look at it online of this woman getting
Speaker 1: pushed into traffic by this like anonymous jogger.
Speaker 2: And did not get hit, but it was so close
Speaker 2: and they never found him.
Speaker 1: And they never found me.
Speaker 2: Looks like the guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although you know, the guy has this alibi that
Speaker 1: makes it so they can't do anything. So there's a
Speaker 1: good chance they're wrong about who they thought it was.
Speaker 4: But if you think it was an alien that was
Speaker 4: a clone of him, no, I think there's.
Speaker 2: A genre for many shows right now.
Speaker 1: You know what it looks like more likely to me
Speaker 1: than an alien is people hitman type of people, uh,
Speaker 1: who are good at blending in and who look like
Speaker 1: a lot of other people. Right, So, a guy that's
Speaker 1: six feet tall jogging, blonde ish hair with a baseball hat.
Speaker 1: Who's that You'll never.
Speaker 2: Well, I just that was the first one that came
Speaker 2: to mind.
Speaker 1: I mean, great guess, but wrong, you know, wrong.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awful. I'm glad she didn't get hit.
Speaker 1: I know, but that, Uh, when we speak of pushing
Speaker 1: ladies in the street, let us always remember that very
Speaker 1: on top of it, best driver who saved that woman's life,
Speaker 1: and the fact that that even could have happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is what. That's like my biggest fear. And
Speaker 4: I think, like, it's so unrealistic. Don't imagine someone's gonna
Speaker 4: put you, don't imagine someone's gonna veer into your lane.
Speaker 2: But it does happen. That's why I imagine it.
Speaker 1: Yep. One time when I lived in New York, very briefly,
Speaker 1: I was in Times Square walking somewhere, and we were
Speaker 1: waiting for the light stop walk light to turn green.
Speaker 1: And the light turned green, but the hand was still red,
Speaker 1: and so cars were like taking heart real fast rights
Speaker 1: in front of us, and this girl wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1: She went to walk out on the street and I
Speaker 1: grabbed her back.
Speaker 2: Really, you saved her life?
Speaker 1: Well, I kind of she seemed irritated, and then the
Speaker 1: light turned directly after so it was like, oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't need to touch you. But also there's cars
Speaker 1: in front of us.
Speaker 2: Did you have did you explain why you grabbed her?
Speaker 1: No? No, she saw the car but still was irritated. Well,
Speaker 1: she just it was weird. It was like me going
Speaker 1: like that, right, and then it was good I did it.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, especially in New
Speaker 1: York City, people don't want you touching their shoulder.
Speaker 4: Right randomly, although I found it to be very friendly.
Speaker 4: If you're going to touch anyone's shoulder, I would do
Speaker 4: it there before I do it here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, New York City shoulder touch.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean when do we honk at the Mercedes going
Speaker 1: into sweat cycle and stopping all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm going to count down to four, three, two, one honk,
Speaker 2: Now you'll do it.
Speaker 1: I'll let the guy go.
Speaker 2: Well, they're not going to learn the lesson, okay, asshole. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just let them have that. Yeah, I'm sure they heard it.
Speaker 1: I should have rolled my window down because her window
Speaker 1: is down.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of if I if I've ever
Speaker 4: saved someone's life, I'm afraid it would come right. I
Speaker 4: don't think I have no you'll get a win again,
Speaker 4: Karen the constant unspoken contest.
Speaker 1: I mean, just just be aware you're in the contest,
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll win next time.
Speaker 2: I've saved my own life a few times.
Speaker 1: Sure, isn't that selfish? Sure?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't think I have knowingly, but there's
Speaker 4: no telling you know what what choices I've made and
Speaker 4: the butterfly effect that stems from that sliding doors, the
Speaker 4: doors that I just set up near the dominoes, or
Speaker 4: the other things that describe a series of events caused
Speaker 4: by other events where I've saved someone because I decided
Speaker 4: to buy blue shoes instead of red.
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be kind of cool if you
Speaker 1: could find out how many of your good decisions affected
Speaker 1: other people positive.
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't seen the film, so I don't
Speaker 2: I'm guessing, but that's what the Butterfly Effect is about.
Speaker 2: It starring I want to say, Keanu Reeves, but that's
Speaker 2: not his name. Yeah, yeah, that's him.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen The Butterfly Effect, I recommend it
Speaker 1: a thousands.
Speaker 2: I've only heard that it's laugh out loudly bad.
Speaker 1: But it is wildly bad, but in this way where
Speaker 1: it's really trying to do something, like you can't get
Speaker 1: that bad. Usually bad movies are just boring because you
Speaker 1: know what they're doing and you've seen it a million times.
Speaker 1: This is like a they're really trying to do something
Speaker 1: and it's wild. It's like stupid and crazy and funny
Speaker 1: and very dramatic, all at the same time totally worth it.
Speaker 4: I had an audition once I forgot about this, and
Speaker 4: it was at this building and they're waiting to see me.
Speaker 4: I had made a video and I went in and
Speaker 4: they had a butterfly effect poster in the bathroom and
Speaker 4: it was huge and I and I came out and
Speaker 4: I said, well, someone here is a big fan of
Speaker 4: the butterfly effect and they're like, yeah, that was one
Speaker 4: of the first movies we produced. And then I was like,
Speaker 4: oh God, why'd I say that? Why did I have
Speaker 4: to make a joke about that? But it was the
Speaker 4: person that saw me in the office, like the the
Speaker 4: uh I want to say, thank you, not matred d,
Speaker 4: thank you once again, you saved me. Anyway, I was
Speaker 4: waiting to be seen and there was Jim equipment everywhere
Speaker 4: and Ashton Kutcher came in. He's like, do you want
Speaker 4: to work out? I was like sure, and so I
Speaker 4: just because he asked me, I started and he picked
Speaker 4: up these tiny weights and he pretended they were really heavy, like, well,
Speaker 4: that's about enough for me. And they asked what I
Speaker 4: was in there for, and I was like this project
Speaker 4: and he's like, well, good luck. I was like, this
Speaker 4: is his company.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was like his production company. And he was
Speaker 2: nice and he did that that's very cool. I never
Speaker 2: told you about that, right, I don't think so, because
Speaker 2: there's no point to it. It's just me name dropping.
Speaker 4: But I do want everyone to know that if you
Speaker 4: were wondering if he's a nice person, he had no
Speaker 4: reason to play, Hey let's go to the jam.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my tiny waits joke.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah he didn't. He could have walked
Speaker 1: right through that room. He could have looked at you
Speaker 1: and given you a fro boy head nod exactly at
Speaker 1: the very most, that's what anyone expects, and to stop
Speaker 1: and do a bit also to say, hey, do you want.
Speaker 2: To work out?
Speaker 1: So funny he was.
Speaker 4: It was so silly, was his goofy didn't carry Waits
Speaker 4: thing or you know, or mar Steve Martiney he did
Speaker 4: in kind of but Jerry lewisy way, Oh it's funny.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will forever pay attention where there's news of
Speaker 4: him and Mila Kunitz in the news.
Speaker 1: I love that they got together. I think that's the
Speaker 1: sweetest thing of all time. It's so cute. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: both you know, truly beautiful people, right, not personally, not
Speaker 1: deep down, but absolutely on the surface.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: But so that's Butterfly Effect, in my defense, is famously
Speaker 4: a not good movie.
Speaker 2: So I just it was something to talk about. I
Speaker 2: had coffee that day.
Speaker 1: It's a funny thing to say, right that, Like, you're
Speaker 1: a big fan of this movie. Yeah, therefore the poster.
Speaker 4: Was kind of like, you know, and Arthur in that movie,
Speaker 4: Arthur when there's a texta dermid moose and he's like, here,
Speaker 4: must really hate at this moose.
Speaker 2: I love that obvious. Yes, a lot of people would
Speaker 2: call it a dad joke.
Speaker 4: Yo, yeah, but I'm Barren.
Speaker 2: I have no offspring, so it's a regular joke.
Speaker 1: It's just old old guy joke.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait a second.
Speaker 4: That was when there's a time where partying at the
Speaker 4: improv always with Henry Phillipson and Nicki Glazer when she
Speaker 4: was we were all younger, and that was our favorite
Speaker 4: game to play. You casually insult someone and they agree
Speaker 4: for a second and then go hey, so yeah, like
Speaker 4: I that was the example.
Speaker 2: I already gave you an example.
Speaker 1: I did the example with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like and I said, oh, Karen, you're wearing
Speaker 4: black again today. I like how it always brings out
Speaker 4: all the dogcare on your Yeah, hey.
Speaker 2: You kind of you simmer in the in the agreeing
Speaker 2: a little more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd lie like it too, because of the contract
Speaker 4: not to tell you how to play the game.
Speaker 1: But let's do it again.
Speaker 4: Let's okay, m oh, this is I like doing a
Speaker 4: left here, especially going too fast like this because I
Speaker 4: like to live on the edge of my I.
Speaker 1: Know too, it's really hey.
Speaker 2: No, you're a good driver. I think that one wasn't
Speaker 2: well the example. It was really pissed for.
Speaker 1: I was actually getting nervous because I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to hear a bunch of
Speaker 1: insults in a row.
Speaker 4: Right right, that's a That's an interesting part of the game,
Speaker 4: is it lets you.
Speaker 2: Really slam your grievances. Yeah, but you have to play
Speaker 2: the game, so you have to hear it.
Speaker 1: Wait, am I right on this time? Time wise? Oh? Good?
