Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you want your way back home? Either way, we
Speaker 2: want to be there.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter how much baggage you claim and give us
Speaker 3: time and a terminol and gay.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off inside.
Speaker 3: We wanna welcome you back home.
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it.
Speaker 1: We scared or was it fine?
Speaker 3: Melbourne?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 4: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 4: Ride? Do you need with Karen and Chris welcome to
Speaker 4: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgarriff.
Speaker 4: We are driving.
Speaker 5: Through Karen's neighborhood, just on the heels of the fourth
Speaker 5: of July, the most traumatic time.
Speaker 3: OOP pets tough, tough in Los Angeles, cats, NonStop, dogs,
Speaker 3: all explosions.
Speaker 4: They all, it's negative reviews.
Speaker 5: They I you said your dogs don't seem to mind.
Speaker 1: Frank was a stray dog for the majority of his life.
Speaker 3: Sadly so, he has a real lazy fair attitude about
Speaker 3: almost everything. He's seen a lot, He's been through a lot.
Speaker 3: Fireworks are no big deal to him. And then Blossom
Speaker 3: is a big.
Speaker 1: Coffeecatter, so she just does what he does.
Speaker 3: So luckily I don't have to drug either of them,
Speaker 3: like I used to have to drug George, who was
Speaker 3: a hound and so nervous and would be truly having
Speaker 3: a nervous breakdown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that I'm the hound dog of people
Speaker 5: because or I act like I am being reminded of
Speaker 5: the Big War, right, And I I never really liked
Speaker 5: forth even as a kid. I didn't want to light
Speaker 5: off fireworks. I just don't know what's missing in me.
Speaker 5: Explosions don't do it for me.
Speaker 1: Well, you might be sound sensitive. I think we've talked
Speaker 1: about this before.
Speaker 3: My niece my nieces sound sensitive, so like when there's
Speaker 3: a big, crazy noise, it freaks her out really bad,
Speaker 3: and then she gets really embarrassed, where it's like, no,
Speaker 3: that's just because I think she's got real sensitive yours.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's the same category these explosions as hearing
Speaker 5: someone smack, hearing someone's kiss, hearing someone scratch a chalkboard.
Speaker 3: Or like I was watching TikTok and a guy I
Speaker 3: was saying something very deep and almost like a therapeutic
Speaker 3: type of advice, and then he bit into something I
Speaker 3: wasn't looking straight at the phone, and I was so
Speaker 3: livid Immediately, I was just like, never again.
Speaker 5: So we will once again apologize for the episode where
Speaker 5: we ate a dozen donuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a dozen donuts.
Speaker 3: And also there was one time where I just freely
Speaker 3: ate a Rice Krispy treat, one of the louder things
Speaker 3: you could possibly eat.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, you never know what edible gifts are. Gifts
Speaker 5: are going to bring us. True, we don't want to
Speaker 5: be rude to one person, so we're rude to all
Speaker 5: of you.
Speaker 1: We don't, yeah, exactly, we want to make the people
Speaker 1: who are actually.
Speaker 4: Showing up for us suffer in stereo.
Speaker 1: And I actually wasn't even a gift.
Speaker 3: It was me gifting myself something from Starbucks, which is
Speaker 3: like even more on us.
Speaker 2: That's the same thing you wrapped it. I remember there
Speaker 2: was a ribbon. I pretended to be surprised.
Speaker 4: I just I'm it's so funny. Though.
Speaker 5: This weekend I was around two dogs, one obviously from.
Speaker 4: The streets and was used to some noises, and the.
Speaker 5: Other dog was a huge, muscular, some sort of a
Speaker 5: bold massive type dog yeah, and was trembling in a
Speaker 5: way where I'm like, this is trauming. I'm watching trauma happen. Yep,
Speaker 5: just would not stop shaking and was not mimicking the
Speaker 5: other dog.
Speaker 4: And it was the strongest looking dog. Yep. That also
Speaker 4: was a rescue. But just it's you know, yeah, it
Speaker 4: was a little sound sensitive.
Speaker 1: It was sound sensitive.
Speaker 3: Maybe it had already had bad loud sound experiences. Like
Speaker 3: that's the thing I do when I look at my
Speaker 3: dogs and you start to think what life have you led?
Speaker 1: And I can make myself cry in about ten seconds.
Speaker 4: When I do that, and you can only get so.
Speaker 5: I therapeutically ate a rice crispy trees right in front
Speaker 5: of this dog's face.
Speaker 4: Get used to it, I yelled.
Speaker 3: You think that sounds bad, I said, listen to me
Speaker 3: smack arnd on a rice crispy tree against your will.
Speaker 4: He's like, I could get used to this.
Speaker 1: It's not so bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I went to Venice Beach, where I'm reminded it's utter chaos.
Speaker 4: People.
Speaker 5: The fireworks that are supposed to explode loudly in the
Speaker 5: sky were just being laid down casually in the sand. Jordes,
Speaker 5: people just shelling in blankets, and no one.
Speaker 4: Was chasing after the culprit.
Speaker 5: It was just like, Hey, I love this country, and
Speaker 5: I'm glad that I lost a finger.
Speaker 4: It was so it was chaos. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's funny is two days before fourth
Speaker 3: of July, I was driving down York Boulevard in Eagle Rock,
Speaker 3: very hip and cool area of this Los Angeles, and
Speaker 3: someone threw an MDI in the street and so there
Speaker 3: was kind of a flash and then there was a
Speaker 3: gigantic boom and.
Speaker 1: I thought my car was exploding or something. And then
Speaker 1: it just kind of that should is that coming from?
Speaker 5: They shouldn't be that siren? Yeah, I have to announce
Speaker 5: what sounds we're hearing? Your car's chang studio.
Speaker 1: Oh that's true.
Speaker 5: We heard a siren through this this insulated Karen had
Speaker 5: the car modified.
Speaker 1: I just lightly modified.
Speaker 3: I had the fin put on the back and then
Speaker 3: I said, throw up some acoustic tiles in here. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did have this giant spoiler put on.
Speaker 1: Oh look they're driving down the wrong side of the road.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite.
Speaker 4: Those firemens. They must be from England.
Speaker 1: Those are the firemen that don't give a shit.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've seen a lot of that lately. They're
Speaker 5: being really punk rock.
Speaker 1: They have to it's a fire.
Speaker 4: Well, I hope it ends safe for whoever they're going
Speaker 4: to visit.
Speaker 1: But don't let the fire.
Speaker 3: Don't let the fire department ruin my great mat story,
Speaker 3: which is also about danger.
Speaker 5: I mean it's a quarter stick of dynamite, if I
Speaker 5: recall correctly.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 4: Yes? And so actual media is three three six. I'm
Speaker 4: not very good at math.
Speaker 5: A quarter is what do you mean that can't be
Speaker 5: right because a stick of dynamite, I'm wrong, It has
Speaker 5: to be wrong.
Speaker 4: I think that's one sixteenth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's got to be a one sixteenth stick
Speaker 5: of dynamite.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That sounds just lengthwise alone, too stubby.
Speaker 1: Have you lit off and made yourself?
Speaker 4: I have? I mean I went through a normal childhood.
Speaker 4: I just wasn't enjoying it.
Speaker 5: When you get a little g I Joe doll to
Speaker 5: strap it to his back and have a long wick. Yeah,
Speaker 5: involve gasoline, stepping on glass, stung by three bees at
Speaker 5: Aaron Deeson's house.
Speaker 1: That all happened at one time.
Speaker 5: A Yeah, I was not allowed to stay there again.
Speaker 5: I stepped on a nail, I got stung by bees.
Speaker 5: The bees weren't the fault of the decent family. They
Speaker 5: were a decent family, and they were Mormons, but they
Speaker 5: did have a lot of bees and literal bats in
Speaker 5: their bilfree and and I I was not allowed to
Speaker 5: stay there.
Speaker 4: I came. I had too many stories. And one of
Speaker 4: them was lighting gasoline which then was supposed to light
Speaker 4: the wick.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we were blowing up little army men.
Speaker 3: That's from the movie Toy Story where you're the evil
Speaker 3: neighbor child.
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly, And none of these little toys are going
Speaker 5: to come with me to college.
Speaker 3: Very sad, but the stick of dynamite quarter to one sixteenth.
Speaker 4: Will Toy story is a rip off of.
Speaker 5: Movie An electric blank wh was the electric blanket movie.
Speaker 6: The Brave Little Toaster, it was called it was called
Speaker 6: The Brave Little Toaster, okay, but it was much sadder
Speaker 6: because it was a cabin that hadn't been inhabited for
Speaker 6: a year and they're waiting for the family to come
Speaker 6: for their summer vacation.
Speaker 5: And the guy, the kid had grown and gone off
Speaker 5: to college, and the family they were in a train
Speaker 5: wreck or something, and all this electric blanket, this toaster lamp.
Speaker 5: They're like, when are they coming? We have so much
Speaker 5: fun when we're they're here. And it was way sadder
Speaker 5: than twice Jesus. And yeah, it was not a lot
Speaker 5: of famous people except for John Lovett's one of the greats.
Speaker 5: One of the greats when it comes to give me.
Speaker 5: It was his early work. If you check IMDb, Brave
Speaker 5: Little Toaster. He was a kid, he was little John Lovett.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, look at this traffic.
Speaker 5: But that the animator of that approached Howard Kramer and
Speaker 5: I about doing something where comedians sit in a bathroom,
Speaker 5: in a toilet stall, and then the graffiti on the
Speaker 5: walls would come to life. And it was a way
Speaker 5: to interview people. Oh so they could tell stories. And
Speaker 5: then a little I thought it was a good idea.
Speaker 2: It is a good so I spent some time with
Speaker 2: a Brave Little Toaster guy. Wait a second, congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 4: It didn't go anywhere with credit many failed projects.
Speaker 3: Is as you interview people, like the graffiti changes behind
Speaker 3: you or so it's almost to life.
Speaker 5: Okay, And we got the idea of from this animate
Speaker 5: It looks like a flip book animation, but it was.
Speaker 5: He could do it on any surface, so a lone
Speaker 5: guy could run for a good time, called his phone
Speaker 5: numbers swing on one of those numbers land on the
Speaker 5: toilet paper roll and at the end, you know time
Speaker 5: you'd have to be flushed. Of course, sure, because it's
Speaker 5: into toilet spot.
Speaker 1: But who are you interviewing in that SNAr.
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be uh comedian.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I must interrupt you to say, we're getting into
Speaker 1: the carpool.
Speaker 3: It feels so good me Chris on the leaves making
Speaker 3: it happen in California.
Speaker 5: Anytime you're in the carpool lane, you realize how lonely
Speaker 5: you've been.
Speaker 4: Because I rarely am able to use it.
Speaker 3: I yeah, although I wonder if I can use it
Speaker 3: because the type of car this is, it's electric.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want you to abuse the system.
Speaker 1: What do you care.
Speaker 4: You'll know for your own wellbeing. It'll make you feel bad.
Speaker 4: You know how you are with the system, what you
Speaker 4: love the systems? It works as a well oiled machine.
Speaker 4: And I know your pro government.
Speaker 2: I just think we need bigger government with more oppressive loss.
Speaker 4: On a civic level city wide.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think we need to keep on doing everything
Speaker 3: that early thirties Berlin was doing and pretend it's not happening.
Speaker 4: The mayor should be armed.
Speaker 5: We have a lot of good ideas on this podcast,
Speaker 5: and that's why you tune in, and it's why we
Speaker 5: are on a billboard in Times Square that's still so excited.
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Did you see some pictures of
Speaker 1: the billboard?
Speaker 4: Oh? I did.
Speaker 5: I even saw the quick video and Michelle Balloon stop.
Speaker 5: I took another photo.
Speaker 3: Michelle Balloon texted me and was like, Hi, I've told
Speaker 3: you well, but I'm so excited and sent that picture.
Speaker 5: And that in that picture I realized not only was
Speaker 5: it the art I did a long long time ago, yep,
Speaker 5: and all the imagery and the color I like, but
Speaker 5: our names.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and our faces drawn by you.
Speaker 5: So if you haven't seen it, go to take a
Speaker 5: flight to New York City.
Speaker 1: They're so inexpensive.
Speaker 5: Right in the American Eagle outfit or building.
Speaker 3: And it's so easy to fly these days. It's just
Speaker 3: do it because it's for us. And then you're just
Speaker 3: looking at a thing that you could also see on
Speaker 3: social media.
Speaker 5: As far as I recall, there's a helicopter pad right
Speaker 5: on top of thirty Rock and land there.
Speaker 4: I don't know where it is in New York.
Speaker 1: I spend the money times Square.
Speaker 4: Times Square is thirty rock there.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know either.
Speaker 1: It's on my TV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been so long since I was a page.
Speaker 1: Here's what I liked about.
Speaker 4: That billboard billboard, Yes, is.
Speaker 3: Looking at it and remembering like you and I putting
Speaker 3: this podcast together alone, right, and like I just think
Speaker 3: it's a little bit miraculous that we've done it and
Speaker 3: we continue to do it. Where you and I didn't
Speaker 3: know each other super well, right, We were like we'd
Speaker 3: been at some parties and done comedy shows together, but
Speaker 3: it wasn't like we knew each other, right, and we
Speaker 3: just basically were like, let's cobble together this thing to
Speaker 3: do and then try it. And I just think it's
Speaker 3: a real testament to our friendship where we didn't ruin
Speaker 3: it for each other and we didn't stop being friends.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, which could have happened, I know, and it
Speaker 5: didn't really sink in until I mean, of course, there
Speaker 5: are little hints like people coming to my shows and
Speaker 5: nice messages and all those things. I've appreciated it so far,
Speaker 5: But that billboard, yeah, very tangible, even though I did
Speaker 5: wasn't actually touching it. Tata palpable, even though I wasn't licking,
Speaker 5: and like she it's very well paper, very I could
Speaker 5: smell it, I could see it. Let's just say I
Speaker 5: could see it.
Speaker 3: It's a photo for good say it is a photo,
Speaker 3: but it also is it's a symbol of when you
Speaker 3: have a good idea and you have talented friends. It
Speaker 3: doesn't you don't have to know where you're going to land.
Speaker 3: Did we think we were going to land in Times Square?
Speaker 4: No? No, I thought it was going to land flat
Speaker 4: on my ass like I do every time. Kidding. That's fire,
Speaker 4: that's farcical.
Speaker 1: It's underdog comedy. It's what we like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I'm just proud of us.
Speaker 4: I am too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm adding you on the back and me simultaneously.
Speaker 4: Which is hard.
Speaker 1: It is tough.
Speaker 4: It's like rubbing your belly and tapping your head.
Speaker 1: You're double jointed. So you're doing it great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm doing it like Jim Carrey and that old
Speaker 5: stand up hit.
Speaker 3: But also you kept on. We started doing it in
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, I believe. Oh yeah, I believe someone recently
Speaker 3: told I think it was in some of the thing
Speaker 3: for our new season where it's like we've been doing
Speaker 3: it since twenty fourteen. We actually said it maybe in
Speaker 3: the promo, So that alone was like, oh, that's a
Speaker 3: really long time ago, so that's kind of hilarious. And
Speaker 3: then I remember there was certain points where I would
Speaker 3: be like the in the early days where I was
Speaker 3: so like I was working, everything was super stressful, I
Speaker 3: was so broke, and then I would just be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, I didn't ask anybody to do it like
Speaker 3: I when I when you and I would talk on
Speaker 3: the phone, I would be like borderline quitting and you'd
Speaker 3: be like, I'm gonna call Henry Phillips and then you
Speaker 3: would just take care of it. And you did that
Speaker 3: a lot for me in the early days, and I
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Oh well, thanks. I knew it would work. I knew
Speaker 5: we had something. Yeah, I knew it. I was just
Speaker 5: like Andrew Ridgefield and Wham first started. Sorry, I just
Speaker 5: watched the documentary. I knew I have myself at George
Speaker 5: Michael and I would take second banana seat eventually and
Speaker 5: look at me now, passenger seat. I hardly write any
Speaker 5: of our hits them suddenly along for the ride.
Speaker 3: But you are Wham, and that's the thing. There is
Speaker 3: no Wham without Andrew Ridgely.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna go off and do some
Speaker 5: solo stuff.
Speaker 4: Oh there are you.
Speaker 5: There was the the one time I went to the
Speaker 5: airport by myself and talked to myself out of necessity,
Speaker 5: I guess right, And it was horrifying, so horrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can only do it with.
Speaker 2: You, okay, God, thank you well, or you're dad Andrew Ridgefield.
Speaker 5: By the way, I think I'm saying I don't know
Speaker 5: why I had a field anyway. Chris fairbanks Field, he
Speaker 5: was really talented, and he was like this documentary basically
Speaker 5: it's it's not the best.
Speaker 4: I'm not promoting it. It's a bit of a snooze fast.
Speaker 4: Oh but it was. I like Wham a lot.
Speaker 5: And I think if you tell yourself you don't like Wham,
Speaker 5: you're lying to yourself.
Speaker 4: Just like with Abbah, you do like it.
Speaker 1: You're there.
Speaker 3: It's music that the people who made it are geniuses
Speaker 3: at music. So if you don't like it, that's on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And the documentary was kind of showing George Michael developing
Speaker 5: this confidence and then kind of going off on his
Speaker 5: own as all of a sudden, becoming good looking and
Speaker 5: being confident and all, well, but he wouldn't have done
Speaker 5: it without Andrew.
Speaker 3: I don't want to argue with you immediately after saying
Speaker 3: thank you to you, but I'm going to because I
Speaker 3: was twelve.
Speaker 1: Was I twelve? No, I was fourteen when that video hits.
Speaker 4: At the argument you were.
Speaker 3: Twelve, you have to argue on twelve. I was fourteen
Speaker 3: when that came in. I was a freshman in high school.
Speaker 3: And I'll never forget. I went to my friends I
Speaker 3: think she was just having a slumber party, and we
Speaker 3: were down in her in the rumpus room and she
Speaker 3: turns on MTV and here comes Wham. None of us
Speaker 3: had seen it before. It was like the video premiere
Speaker 3: and I don't know if you remember the wake Me
Speaker 3: Up before you Go Go video, but they're wearing shirts
Speaker 3: that say like choo choose life and other stuff. It
Speaker 3: was not about abortion rights, they would never do that,
Speaker 3: but it was like it was a It was kind
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 5: Being positive, and I think it was at a time
Speaker 5: where they were doing a lot of promoting a lot
Speaker 5: of both those Christmas songs were for AIDS, yes, research
Speaker 5: and everything. I think it was AIDS related.
Speaker 1: Chane life, Yes, I think so.
Speaker 3: Too, And I also think it was like, because that
Speaker 3: whole video is like wildly, you can't not be in
Speaker 3: a good mood when you watch that video because everything's
Speaker 3: like white black or neon yellow.
Speaker 1: Green and orange ye.
Speaker 3: And George Michael, I remember thinking, I can't figure out
Speaker 3: if I want that haircut or I'm in love with
Speaker 3: him right because he was wearing two hoop earrings, just
Speaker 3: like a girl, and his face looked like a girl,
Speaker 3: and I think he had pink lipstick on very subtly,
Speaker 3: but it was but that in nineteen eighty four was
Speaker 3: groundbreaking and very rare, so it was just like who
Speaker 3: is this? And then it was like one of the
Speaker 3: best pop songs ever written.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was kind of what the documentary was about.
Speaker 5: They did not expect teenage girls everywhere to suddenly be
Speaker 5: loving them.
Speaker 1: Well, well, let me just say this about Andrew Ridgeley Ridgefield.
Speaker 1: That guy's hot.
Speaker 3: He was like the model where I was always like,
Speaker 3: does he really play that guitars?
Speaker 1: He did? They just get him in this band like
Speaker 1: an adult boy band.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's what George Michael was saying. It's like
Speaker 5: he was supposed to be the heart sexual heart throb figure.
Speaker 4: And everything backfired. And then I got this face and
Speaker 4: he points to his face.
Speaker 1: Wait did he get plastic surgery?
Speaker 4: No, no, he just really all the angles came in,
Speaker 4: you know, they were like nineteen or twenty oh when
Speaker 4: they were.
Speaker 5: Excuse me, once I start talking about him developing, I
Speaker 5: get it.
Speaker 4: I start choking. It's like I'm salivating. But yeah, he
Speaker 4: just became an angled faced, handsome person. Yeah. Before they
Speaker 4: show childhood pictures.
Speaker 5: Of him, and he looks older and has a strange
Speaker 5: beard without a mustache.
Speaker 2: Oh, he looked like maybe he churns butter. Wait, sorry,
Speaker 2: he had a beard as a child.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, Or if they were showing pictures of his
Speaker 5: father and it was bad editing.
Speaker 1: Oh, or could it have been that he dressed up
Speaker 1: as a hobo for Halloween.
Speaker 4: And I think that beard was made of coffee? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's honey, it's funny. Bear attack in the middle. It
Speaker 4: was dead. Yeah, it was very.
Speaker 5: It was very I didn't mean to talk so much
Speaker 5: about WHIM, but I did.
Speaker 4: I did just watch it. I had to relate it
Speaker 4: to us.
Speaker 3: I could talk. I could talk about WHIM. It was
Speaker 3: a real uh what's the word? Is like a foundational
Speaker 3: background music of high.
Speaker 5: School for me, right and uh and my older sister.
Speaker 5: It's one of the many things she's like, here, listen
Speaker 5: to this. If you want to be cool, don't listen
Speaker 5: to Poison and Deaf Leopard like your friends, even though
Speaker 5: that is what you were supposed to listen to to
Speaker 5: be cool. But much like us, they were really good friends.
Speaker 5: They knew each other children and Andrew the whole time
Speaker 5: Andrew Richfield was crowded, Richly was very just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: if he wants to be a solo guy, he's really
Speaker 5: good at writing songs.
Speaker 4: I'm proud of him.
Speaker 5: There was no animosity, and everyone always jokes about, oh
Speaker 5: that poor guy. Either they say it was along for
Speaker 5: the ride or he got cast aside.
Speaker 1: No, he was like, did he become a race car driver?
Speaker 4: Probably?
Speaker 5: They also showed footage of him skating, and he was
Speaker 5: really good at skateboarding. He was like in a pool grinding.
Speaker 5: So all of a sudden, now I'm like, fine, which
Speaker 5: wham guy do I.
Speaker 4: Like the most?
Speaker 5: Right, this guy's doing front side scratchers on a kryptonic sport.
Speaker 1: Did you see it? Wait, just to change the subject
Speaker 1: off wham for one second?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll go back to it. We'll be right back
Speaker 4: WITHAM talk and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Did you see that little girl that did a set?
Speaker 1: I believe it's a seven twenty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, unbelievable, and especially the way it's she lands it
Speaker 5: and her entire body compacts like she lands it on
Speaker 5: her feet on the board, but her knees are like
Speaker 5: one of the knees is on the board.
Speaker 1: Yes, and she almost falls and then doesn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But when I told you the way those boys ran
Speaker 3: to congratulate her, it's like, I can't. I've seen it
Speaker 3: so many times on TikTok, I sob every time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's so sweet and inclusive and like they get it.
Speaker 4: Yep. And it was always kind of that way.
Speaker 5: And I always was trying to tell when skateboarding was
Speaker 5: frowned upon, because it simply was.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: No, one believed that that's what I was getting from
Speaker 5: these older friends right that I was skating with. Sure
Speaker 5: they were smoking and watching pornographic.
Speaker 3: VHS tapes, Well, but they're still teenage boys exactly.
Speaker 1: Smoking cigarettes are weed.
Speaker 5: Oh I'm sure there was weed too, but that's the
Speaker 5: kind of thing they would make sure I wasn't privy too.
Speaker 1: Oh, because you were younger, Like, how old were you?
Speaker 5: Just a couple of years younger? Oh, but if you're
Speaker 5: out of high school and I'm still.
Speaker 4: You know, sixteen, that was the case. Most of my
Speaker 4: friends were a couple of years older, got it. They
Speaker 4: looked out for me. My mom picked up on that
Speaker 4: right away.
Speaker 5: And that's why I related so much to Jonah Hill's
Speaker 5: movie Oh Yeah, Mid nineties is because that that was
Speaker 5: basically she was scared that she was hang oh oh wow,
Speaker 5: that's a beep that only means safety. That they were
Speaker 5: you know, he got hurt and they were all sleeping
Speaker 5: in the waiting room at the hotel, and I teared
Speaker 5: up because there's so many moments like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very good.
Speaker 1: Sorry to interrupt, guys. Kara would like us to pick
Speaker 1: her up at her house instead, but it's just a
Speaker 1: few blocks away.
Speaker 4: Great, okay from where we were going to go.
Speaker 5: So change of plans, new destination got its cars convenient, perfect.
Speaker 4: I will never not I think.
Speaker 5: Jared Goldstein Stoke where he says any car is a tesla.
Speaker 4: If your drive while looking at and it is the best,
Speaker 4: that's good. That's a really good We got to have
Speaker 4: him on the pod doing a show with him Tuesday,
Speaker 4: ask him to do it.
Speaker 5: I will, and then I'll say that's not official because
Speaker 5: I'm no longer a booker, and I it will be recorded,
Speaker 5: but I'm no longer the recorder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god, you're not the sound man.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: And you know I did that for years and the
Speaker 4: whole time it was not a skill I possessed.
Speaker 1: It's a hard one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And there was times where he's doing a wild driving.
Speaker 3: Yes you were, Oh, but that I think that was
Speaker 3: the last time you did it while driving. I said
Speaker 3: to myself, don't.
Speaker 1: Ever let him do this right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was dangerous and I probably it was.
Speaker 5: One of those episode people have admitted that there are
Speaker 5: episodes where we're both losing our minds at lax.
Speaker 4: Yes, yelling.
Speaker 1: Horrible.
Speaker 3: Well, and also there were times where you would you
Speaker 3: would be driving and you would know something was wrong
Speaker 3: with the sound. I would be trying to talk to
Speaker 3: the guests and you'd be like, uh, yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 3: and it was like you could you are trying to
Speaker 3: pretend that you could just kind of be in it
Speaker 3: and out of it, but like, yeah, you're carrying this.
Speaker 5: Terrible secret failing where you're halfway through and you realize, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm not recording.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that happened. I mean, I think it's safe to
Speaker 4: say those were some of our best episodes.
Speaker 3: Well, I would not say you lost them. I would
Speaker 3: say they were lost to time. Yes, it wasn't meant
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: Everything happens for a reason. Everyone says that for a
Speaker 5: reason to make themselves feel.
Speaker 3: Better, for a reason. I just washed my car the
Speaker 3: other day, and I'm so glad I did. I was
Speaker 3: this is the thing I love to do. I went
Speaker 3: to a hair appointment, showed up at ten am for
Speaker 3: that hair appointment. The hair appointment, oh hi am I
Speaker 3: we both gone here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 3: And we both show up for the hair appointment and
Speaker 3: it was an hour later. So I showed up at
Speaker 3: ten and it was at eleven and they were like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry whatever, and I'm like, no problem.
Speaker 1: Going to go get about five things done.
Speaker 3: And then instead of doing that, I just went and
Speaker 3: washed my own car at like one of those drive
Speaker 3: up yourself, do it yourself, vacuum it out yourself.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've never planned to wash my car.
Speaker 5: It's always when all of a sudden I see a
Speaker 5: gap in time and I happen to be passing by
Speaker 5: a handy j hand washed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you're just kidding.
Speaker 3: But those self wash car wash places, there's not that
Speaker 3: many anymore, right, Like I know the two. There's one
Speaker 3: in Silver Lake, there's one in Bourbank. And most of
Speaker 3: the time you have to go get out of your car,
Speaker 3: and then other people do it for you.
Speaker 4: And I kind of prefer it because they do a
Speaker 4: really good job.
Speaker 1: Yes they do, yeah, for sure, But then you have
Speaker 1: to sit somewhere.
Speaker 4: I had a waiting table out.
Speaker 1: And kind of feel weird and hope it goes fast.
Speaker 5: I always make small talk on the waiting bench. No,
Speaker 5: that's not true, Well yours that I'll say something, is
Speaker 5: that all? We'll drive things like that?
Speaker 1: Oh dude stuff.
Speaker 4: I get it. Yeah, And I'll usually do it with ladies.
Speaker 5: I find the best disarming thing you could do is
Speaker 5: it's to casual dude talk with ladies.
Speaker 2: That's they're like, since I'm a person and I think
Speaker 2: about cars, yeah, is that sad? But that that's really
Speaker 2: the bar where it's like, this is great. He's treating
Speaker 2: me like a person. I know.
Speaker 5: I hope I'm not doing it on purpose, treating them
Speaker 5: on a person on purpose like a blatant Hey, hey dude, talk, Yeah,
Speaker 5: who's your favorite baseball catcher?
Speaker 1: And they're just staring at you. Not the girls can't
Speaker 1: love baseball.
Speaker 5: I actually I know it's since I've moved to Echo
Speaker 5: Park a lot of lady friends that like baseball.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of pressure to get into baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah you gotta know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in my neighborhood. If you don't, you could be
Speaker 4: in danger.
Speaker 1: Well, you have to support the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's the first thing I did. I have to
Speaker 4: get a Dodger hat. Yes, it's getting people are looking
Speaker 4: at me suspiciously.
Speaker 3: They have an intense relationship. But also it's because right
Speaker 3: over the hill there's Dodger Stadium, right.
Speaker 4: It's nice. I like that I can want there.
Speaker 3: God, that reminds me of my great, great story from COVID.
Speaker 3: There aren't a ton, but this is a great one
Speaker 3: that I went to go get my first COVID test
Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: So that's how early in quarantine we were in.
Speaker 3: Here's my great victory story that you already know, which
Speaker 3: is that I took the GPS directions to get to
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium, which had me going from the valley down
Speaker 3: this fascinating stuff for basically down the five taking the
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium exit, coming around the back, and then I
Speaker 3: just started following the person in front of me because
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's no way this person isn't going where
Speaker 3: I'm going, so I'll.
Speaker 1: Just go where they go.
Speaker 2: So I do.
Speaker 3: I get all the way up to a police barricade
Speaker 3: with police at it and the car in front of me.
Speaker 1: They move the police.
Speaker 3: Barricade for the car in front of me, and then
Speaker 3: I go to and then the cop kind of leans
Speaker 3: forward and goes, which area are you working in? And
Speaker 3: I go no, no, I'm here to get a test.
Speaker 3: And he goes, oh, you just cut in like the
Speaker 3: employee line. And I was like, oh, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 3: This is that's what GPS told me to do. And
Speaker 3: he goes, all right, well, you better drive right up there.
Speaker 3: I cut like a two hour weight line with all
Speaker 3: the people in their cars that were waiting all the
Speaker 3: way up. I just basically cut in front of everybody,
Speaker 3: and I it was one of the greatest things that's.
Speaker 4: Ever happened to me.
Speaker 5: And at the end the gave you your badge. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there is a lot of police around there. It's like
Speaker 5: a training area they have right at the base of
Speaker 5: the Oh. Yeah, they're you know, crawling on the ground
Speaker 5: and practicing Miranda racial profiling.
Speaker 4: Yes, they're doing a lot of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're getting good, he said, with a lot of
Speaker 1: fear in his voice.
Speaker 5: As soon as It's funny when I don't have confidence
Speaker 5: when what I'm saying, not only do I increase the volume, I.
Speaker 4: Get a little higher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just send it up and lower.
Speaker 4: You know that I'm confident in what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You're confident in just tapping on that sounds.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very excited for our guests today.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, me too.
Speaker 3: What you know, sometimes and not very often, Actually, I
Speaker 3: should be honest. Sometimes this when you when you look
Speaker 3: and go, oh, I have four things to do today,
Speaker 3: and my last thing is go record a mobile podcast.
Speaker 1: Ye, like I wish I could lay on the couch.
Speaker 1: Not not today, not with this guest.
Speaker 4: Oh exactly.
Speaker 1: Like I'm delighted.
Speaker 4: Even some of the guests that I know are going
Speaker 4: to be great. I either get nervous or not. With Cara,
Speaker 4: she's uh, someone that brings me calm.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she's a well, she's I've always said this
Speaker 3: to her. Is she It feels to me like she
Speaker 3: is my cousin in that way that she is like
Speaker 3: me and the people I grew up with so much
Speaker 3: that there's a very bizarre familiarity to her.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: When I very first met her and I was just like,
Speaker 3: where the fuck did you come from? And then I
Speaker 3: saw her do stand up and I'm like, you, why
Speaker 3: doesn't everyone know who you are from your stand up?
Speaker 3: But that you know, that happens a lot to female comics.
Speaker 3: If you're really good, somehow you're the one that's hosting
Speaker 3: the show instead of headlining.
Speaker 4: Right, It happens a lot, Yeah, because people are comfortable
Speaker 4: with you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But then, luckily enough, she and Lisa Trigger put together
Speaker 3: a little podcast called That's Messed Up Lawn Order Resvie
Speaker 3: Podcast and it's one of our most popular podcasts on
Speaker 3: exactly right.
Speaker 4: They also advertised in not Times Square.
Speaker 1: Yes, they were up there too.
Speaker 4: Yeah Lisa or is it Lisa or Lisa?
Speaker 1: It's Lisa?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Lisa.
Speaker 5: I did a show with her the other night at
Speaker 5: the Improv and she was she kills so hard and
Speaker 5: it's it's like me, it's it's stand up. That's pretty
Speaker 5: much personality based out, you know. They everyone loves her.
Speaker 5: Every time I see her perform, she has the audience
Speaker 5: and it's done with like a not a care in
Speaker 5: the world.
Speaker 4: I don't care if you like me or not. Right now.
Speaker 1: She's authentic. Yeah, it's she's hilarious.
Speaker 5: And I told her, I told her right to her face.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, you're just being yourself. You're just a
Speaker 5: funny person and you're doing it but without even trying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she is.
Speaker 3: That ease about her makes it like I wish there
Speaker 3: were so many things when I was doing sets like
Speaker 3: that that I wish I knew where. It's like, if
Speaker 3: you feel nervous, figure out something to do about it,
Speaker 3: because when you act angry, everyone knows you're nervous.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: That was always my drip. I'm like, well, I'll just
Speaker 3: be a big bitch. It's like, yeah, that's a huge
Speaker 3: tell that you're you're out of your depth, lady.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're of all people.
Speaker 5: Barry Kats was being interviewed on some on my phone
Speaker 5: by someone and that was his main point. If they
Speaker 5: if an audience can smell that you're not comfortable, and
Speaker 5: a lot of the tells.
Speaker 4: Are this and this and this, Yeah, you you are
Speaker 4: in trouble.
Speaker 5: And I was like, wow, I kind of made a
Speaker 5: career of being uncomfortable on stage, flubbing where it's something
Speaker 5: I learned to make it work eventually, But I didn't
Speaker 5: realize being confident was a big part of my job.
Speaker 4: No one ever told me that they're good dogs.
Speaker 5: They are good dogs, and they're done with the trauma
Speaker 5: America's birth.
Speaker 4: They're over here.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. I bet they're so thrilled.
Speaker 5: I really this year, for some reason, it hit me.
Speaker 5: It's it's I really, I don't care for fireworks. I
Speaker 5: don't want to be a broken record, but it just
Speaker 5: really hit me.
Speaker 4: And it's because of those stops.
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's something you can do, like you
Speaker 3: could go to pump Springs on fourth of July to Yeah,
Speaker 3: that seems like, oh, get out.
Speaker 4: Of town, right. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think I might, But I'm afraid that that'll be
Speaker 5: fireworks city because it's just there's no grass to catch
Speaker 5: on fire.
Speaker 4: I bet there's fireworks everywhere, but you can be off
Speaker 4: in some there must be.
Speaker 3: There must be a place somewhere that's like, we don't
Speaker 3: allow these because submarine, there's people, there's people, there's veterans
Speaker 3: who can't be around it.
Speaker 1: It's complete PTSD like it's not it's a serious thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's fucked up.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 4: And my neighborhood loves fireworks. Yeah, they're just it won't stop.
Speaker 1: Imagine if they came up with a Dodgers firework, you'd
Speaker 1: be ruined.
Speaker 4: Yoh, okay, I at least want to see a photo
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 2: Is it the logo?
Speaker 4: Yes, I do. You said it before and I did
Speaker 4: want it. You read my mind.
Speaker 1: Well, that was a really beautiful color. It was like
Speaker 1: a rose gold.
Speaker 4: Couch.
Speaker 5: Once you flip it around and see those cushions, you'll
Speaker 5: probably change your mind.
Speaker 1: Rose gold with an accent color of catches.
Speaker 4: Those cushions have been used for the pushions of cats.
Speaker 4: Oh he's pushing. We're gonna have to get rid of
Speaker 4: that cat.
Speaker 5: I had the best, Like, I think it's a chaise
Speaker 5: lounge where it's like on one side there's a a
Speaker 5: backrest for fainting. Oh yeah, and the other side just
Speaker 5: drops off legs symmetrical and it was like crushed velvet,
Speaker 5: very nice, very antique, and my cat loved to pee
Speaker 5: on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had to let it go. I had
Speaker 4: to let it go.
Speaker 1: You fired your cat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had to let the cat go.
Speaker 1: It's unfair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not. Everything is late. I pay you too much.
Speaker 4: You're going to Montana to retire at my father's. Here's
Speaker 4: a skate spot and what do you mean.
Speaker 5: Right right beyond this, there's a little embankment and I
Speaker 5: skate here sometimes.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm very familiar. I've parked here before.

Speaker 2: and say hi to your friends. I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: thanks for flip flop and with the playground, no problem.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, when it moved back, I was
Speaker 2: like guys, I can't just sit at the playground like
Speaker 2: a loon. No, you know, a lady alone without a
Speaker 2: kid at some part. Some playgrounds have signs that say
Speaker 2: you're not.

Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm on the back on the back side
Speaker 2: of a high school. Yes, yeah, so it's actually kind
Speaker 2: of the best because the kids are all really cool.
Speaker 4: I'm not near the front side.
Speaker 2: I'm not where any of them get dropped off, so
Speaker 2: I don't get any of the hubbub of the high school,
Speaker 2: but I get all the cool high school vibes and
Speaker 2: kids ordering food to my house.

Speaker 1: But it's a good venting.
Speaker 3: Don't think when you're because it's you by yourself, usually

Speaker 3: never goes anywhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully.

Speaker 4: Does anyone get to feel better about themselves? Okay?
Speaker 3: I was just telling Chris a couple days before the
Speaker 3: fourth of July, I was driving right here, or maybe
Speaker 3: a little further down on this street. Okay, someone threw
Speaker 3: an M eighty into the street. Oh my god, and
Speaker 3: it was like boom and there was like a flash.
Speaker 1: It was crazy, and it was like Fourth of July kickoff.
Speaker 2: This is right this neighborhood is so wild out of
Speaker 2: the fourth like they it's like NonStop from the middle
Speaker 2: of the day where I don't understand the point.
Speaker 4: Of flighting off fireworks. I can't see it.
Speaker 2: Ye two four in the morning and my neighbor lights
Speaker 2: them off, and we watched him do a couple this year.
Speaker 1: And when I went to take my.
Speaker 2: Kids to school the next morning, my car was covered
Speaker 2: in orange firework dust because one of his fireworks had
Speaker 2: just shot at my.
Speaker 4: Car because it tipped over. Yeah, you know, not that
Speaker 4: many people have a license to do this. Guy.
Speaker 5: You know, I was in Montana, it was legal. There's
Speaker 5: just fireworks stands everywhere, just outside of town. There's like
Speaker 5: a rule that you have to be near a river
Speaker 5: or something and all. Even as a kid, I didn't
Speaker 5: want loud boom fireworks. I just wanted that little cardboard
Speaker 5: tank that is usually broken or it's missing a wheel.
Speaker 4: But it would like you'd light.
Speaker 5: It off and it would shoot some sparklers and then
Speaker 5: a snake would coil out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'd clap and go inside. Yeah. So I
Speaker 4: don't understand the explosions.
Speaker 2: No, It's like, do you know how comedy is one
Speaker 2: of the only like quote unquote professions where you can
Speaker 2: just do it one time and say that you're it.
Speaker 1: Like people will just do comedy ones and be like,
Speaker 1: I'm a comedian.
Speaker 2: Like that's fireworks, man. Everyone's just like, I'm a firework person.
Speaker 2: I know how to light them off.
Speaker 4: I know what I'm doing. Anybody does, it's.
Speaker 3: Usually yeah, it's actually not only do they not know
Speaker 3: what they're doing, it's usually people that have a weird
Speaker 3: obsession with fire. Yeah, something mentally questionable that they want
Speaker 3: to be involved in that so directly.
Speaker 4: Do your dogs hate it so much? That's what I
Speaker 4: was curious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about this.
Speaker 3: Luckily, my dog Frank was found in Eagle Rock on
Speaker 3: the streets, so he is immune.
Speaker 4: He's like, this is my culture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like yeah. And then Blossom, the new dog,
Speaker 1: just does what he does.
Speaker 3: So there was a couple of those big booms that
Speaker 3: she would kind of sit up on the ground, but
Speaker 3: Frank was asleep, so she's like, oh, I guess nothing
Speaker 3: bad is happening. So luckily, because my my old dog
Speaker 3: that died two years ago was a hound and.
Speaker 4: She was like that was the worst day of the
Speaker 4: year for her.
Speaker 1: I basically had I learned.
Speaker 3: Eventually I had to give her Benadryl and make her
Speaker 3: sleepy so that she could at least like be lightly
Speaker 3: drugged because it was so bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the house eye is at in Venice. We all
Speaker 5: decided demanded the dog be drugged. You had the sleepy
Speaker 5: calm down drugs DOUN belief. They're called sleepy calm down,
Speaker 5: sleepy calm down no for dog, doggies acually dog specific.
Speaker 2: And I took it for my Hey, I don't have dogs,
Speaker 2: but they have kids. Melatonin and I give that to
Speaker 2: my kids on the plane. Oh yeah, yeah, got to
Speaker 2: get on get nice and drowsy. What what's the craziest
Speaker 2: or a story from your children on a plane. Do
Speaker 2: you have any nightmares?
Speaker 4: Yeah? The first time.
Speaker 2: Well, like the best advice anyone ever gave me, if
Speaker 2: anyone is listening that like is gonna have a kid
Speaker 2: or has a tiny kid and having trouble, is like,
Speaker 2: bring extra clothes and not just for your kids, for you,
Speaker 2: you got to bring extra clothes for everyone in your family.

Speaker 2: don't know what is she's she's mischievsus. She's like, what

Speaker 1: was amazing.
Speaker 2: No stroller.
Speaker 5: They're facing people, They're going, what's up?
Speaker 2: People know you have too many bags, and then they
Speaker 2: look down and they see that it's a child, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, out of my way.
Speaker 1: You know it's the best.
Speaker 2: Yes, So yeah, you're just constantly trying to like hack
Speaker 2: the whole travel process. But I would say, just yeah,
Speaker 2: him barfing on me, Rosie, that's like Rosie now is cool.
Speaker 2: She'll just watch TV the whole time, which is great. Oscar,
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm gonna do with him. He's
Speaker 2: such a little wiggle worm and he wants to go
Speaker 2: get his hands and everything like he is.
Speaker 4: I'm not a dog owner.
Speaker 2: I haven't ever had a dog, but he is like
Speaker 2: that puppy that will find any tiny hole in the fence, yeah.
Speaker 4: And get and try to escape.
Speaker 2: It's like he doesn't like his life with us, because
Speaker 2: anytime there's a small crack in a gate or a
Speaker 2: fence or a door, it's like he's gone. Like we
Speaker 2: were just at I take my kids to Draggon every year,
Speaker 2: and they were in this kid's area, and then Brent
Speaker 2: Sullivan was I was with Brent Sullivan and Elliott Glazer
Speaker 2: and Brent turns to Elliot and goes, Cara's.
Speaker 4: Child is running away.
Speaker 2: And Oscar had just run out to like the area
Speaker 2: these double doors where there was it was where all
Speaker 2: the food trucks were. So luckily that was enclosed, but
Speaker 2: could have just been traffic. I mean he I tried
Speaker 2: me and a librarian chased him and got him moments
Speaker 2: before he ran into aunt full three lane traffic on
Speaker 2: Figueroa here in Los Angeles. It was and he was
Speaker 2: laughing gleefully the entire way, pumping his arms like take
Speaker 2: me back to Heaven Lord, and he's like I'm chasing him, screaming,
Speaker 2: and it's only making him laugh harder. Somebody who's a
Speaker 2: child psychologist, tell me what that What does all that
Speaker 2: symbolism mean?
Speaker 3: That's second born. That's the freedom of being second born.
Speaker 3: I swear to God because that's what I was like
Speaker 3: to when I was little aware. I would get these
Speaker 3: ideas where it's like, what would be fun? What could
Speaker 3: I do right now that would be really fun? And
Speaker 3: it was always something like drag a pencil along a
Speaker 3: white wall, Yeah, that's fun. Grape juice poured out of
Speaker 3: this glass at the guests at the at someone else's
Speaker 3: house that I don't know, like always, and my mom
Speaker 3: was like, I can't take you anywhere, like it was crazy. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: my sister was the most low key, the most like quiet, shy,
Speaker 3: like crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but are both cycle. I don't even get it.
Speaker 2: I don't even get a chill one.
Speaker 4: Rosie. Rosie doesn't have a death wish like Oscar does.
Speaker 2: But she she is mischievous. She's so mischievous. But Oscar
Speaker 2: threw my phone at the flat screen the other day,
Speaker 2: had to get a new flatscreen. Oh yeah, he fully damaged.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you couldn't watch TV on it anymore.
Speaker 2: It's just never ending. What you guys do when something
Speaker 2: like that happens?
Speaker 1: Do you yell? Are you like the parents that never
Speaker 1: say no?
Speaker 4: No? Oh my god? We say no all the time?
Speaker 2: Okay, because permissive parenting is going to be the downfall
Speaker 2: of the society because I see it in practice every
Speaker 2: day and it's not working. No, but I I we
Speaker 2: we yell at him to say we go oscar No,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. So now it's like what I've been
Speaker 2: told is like, say no very sternly, and then this
Speaker 2: sounds wild, but ignore him for like fifteen to thirty
Speaker 2: seconds so that he knows, like this doesn't get you
Speaker 2: the attention that you want. Yeah, you know, because that's
Speaker 2: I don't know everything. I follow all the new ag
Speaker 2: parent instagrams and they're all like, you know, you're taller,
Speaker 2: doesn't know how to express himself, and that's why he's
Speaker 2: throwing a cell phone at the flat screen, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, but I can't afford his lack
Speaker 1: of knowledge of his emotions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, we gotta like he used to,
Speaker 2: he just stopped just throwing his plate on the floor
Speaker 2: whenever he was done with a meal, food on it,
Speaker 2: food not on it, just throw the whole thing on
Speaker 2: the floor, like done. And it would set me off
Speaker 2: and I would go stump itch and he would go
Speaker 2: like he doesn't.
Speaker 1: A loud yell does not register to him.
Speaker 2: So I've just stopped wasting my time at We're at
Speaker 2: the South Past Farmers Market. Oh yeah, Oh, my friend
Speaker 2: just invited me to this today and I said, you
Speaker 2: know I can't. I'm doing a podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's our surprise.
Speaker 1: You're taking me there too.
Speaker 4: We're gonna do cherry samping vegetable based street party.
Speaker 2: The farmer's market is so funny, just like I don't know.
Speaker 2: I bring my kids, but they just my utter just
Speaker 2: want some the ice cream there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Other kids are like sampling fresh vegetables, not mine. This's
Speaker 2: a vegetarian who doesn't need any vegetables.
Speaker 5: I get because there's all these different farm stands and
Speaker 5: I feel bad if you get everything.
Speaker 4: At once, So I'll get let that's here, chop around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 2: You can't just go with one plate I support everybody.
Speaker 2: You know what, I want to go to a farmer's
Speaker 2: work it for soon. I want to get my knives sharpened.
Speaker 2: Is that psychotic? I just want to pack all my
Speaker 2: knives in a bag and bring them to somebody. There's
Speaker 2: always a knife sharpener at those things. It's like there's
Speaker 2: always some guy with a little truck I got.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was such a thing for my dad to do.
Speaker 4: When I was a kid. We would go to the
Speaker 4: Army Navy surplus. Story. Knew the guy's name. He had
Speaker 4: a little monkey with him with a fish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a live monkey.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Maybe it was a dog, but he had a companion
Speaker 5: wasn't human, and he would my dad would bring a
Speaker 5: Swiss Army knife. Some of them are better kitchen knives
Speaker 5: than this guy would make them dangerous sharpen everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's because I don't trust myself to my own knives.
Speaker 2: No, I don't really know how to do it. But honestly,
Speaker 2: cooking with dull knives is dangerous. That is, and my
Speaker 2: dad used to sharpen knives before he cooked all the time.
Speaker 2: You would stand around, yeah, talk and do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I think it's just basically you have to go
Speaker 1: one direction on the on the sharpener thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have any thing. It looks like a sword.
Speaker 4: Yes, but I don't know how you use it. Yeah
Speaker 4: I should.
Speaker 2: I'll ask my dad and then I'll tell you guys,
Speaker 2: well there is a new Could you ask your dad
Speaker 2: to actually explain it in a voice memo and then
Speaker 2: send me that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like that.
Speaker 2: I would that podcast, Karen, Dad tells you how to
Speaker 2: do stuff and you should know how to do yes,
Speaker 2: and he'll tell you that part too.
Speaker 4: I think that's a good idea.
Speaker 5: We got to record dad's giving advice and how to
Speaker 5: uh directions.
Speaker 3: I don't want to make you feel bad, but there
Speaker 3: is an entire like hashtag world on TikTok that literally is.
Speaker 4: That Well, is it a podcast yet? No?
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say no. There's like eight hundred thousands exactly.
Speaker 4: Probably. Wait, the TikTok is people giving dads giving it.
Speaker 3: It's dad's literally going so if you if your lawnmower
Speaker 3: isn't starting, here's what you got to check. You just think.
Speaker 3: So it's basically stuff that if you had a dad there,
Speaker 3: they would take care of it. So they're just explaining
Speaker 3: to you how to handle shit. If you have a
Speaker 3: house or you're doing house like stuff, that's.
Speaker 2: So funny because at my house I do all that stuff,
Speaker 2: like I put together every piece of furniture. I do
Speaker 2: all of the handiwork, and if I can't handle it,
Speaker 2: I call a man who I know in my phone.
Speaker 2: I just called him today.
Speaker 5: There was a guy on YouTube that I follow, and
Speaker 5: I don't follow a lot of people, but he goes
Speaker 5: into character where he's actually acting like your dad, and
Speaker 5: I know that sounds strange, basically all right, sweetie, I'll
Speaker 5: see you next time. Like he's a genuine person, and
Speaker 5: he's catering to.
Speaker 4: The fact that they realized a lot of the people
Speaker 4: that watch his.
Speaker 5: Videos don't have parents, right they'd mentioned that or they
Speaker 5: didn't ever teach them those things, and he's really leaning
Speaker 5: into that.
Speaker 4: And it's like called the how how how.
Speaker 3: Do you do it?
Speaker 4: Dad? Or something that's probably not much better, And it's great.
Speaker 5: I watch it and I and my dad did show
Speaker 5: me stuff, but he's not always in my living room.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: There's also a guy on that my sisters showed me
Speaker 1: on TikTok.
Speaker 3: That's your nice career, your supportive Korean dad and it's
Speaker 3: this guy that's like, I'm really proud of you. Cly
Speaker 3: makes me choke up when I think about it, because
Speaker 3: it's like people need that and they and the stuff
Speaker 3: that he says.
Speaker 1: He just he kind of goes by like either what's
Speaker 1: happening in the news or whatever.
Speaker 3: And in this way that is so believable. It's not
Speaker 3: like he's not, you know, trying to be an influencer.
Speaker 3: He's like he's like, I'm trying to help people that
Speaker 3: need this kind of support and have never gotten it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so love Yeah, so nice. God, maybe the
Speaker 4: Internet is not a full cesspool.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think it is in some ways.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, are you guys on threads? No threads
Speaker 4: came out?
Speaker 1: Did people already hate it? They like started it, and
Speaker 1: it's like a nightmare. Like I logged into it and
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, I'll.
Speaker 2: Just like log in and see what it is or whatever,
Speaker 2: because it's so easy to just download and it connects
Speaker 2: to your Instagram right away and it follows all the
Speaker 2: same people and it's like it's very easy. And then
Speaker 2: I realized I had to confirm every single person that
Speaker 2: friend requested me. And because everybody's doing it automatically. It
Speaker 2: was hundreds of people that I had to auto confirm
Speaker 2: halfway through the day that went away. So obviously they're
Speaker 2: making fixes. But someone also told me that if you
Speaker 2: quit it, your Instagram account gets deleted too, which people
Speaker 2: are furious about.
Speaker 4: Wait what threads, I don't know it. Oh, it's literally
Speaker 4: Instagram's Twitter.
Speaker 2: Like Instagram is starting a new thing to try to
Speaker 2: like get people instead of Instagram just be like, how
Speaker 2: it's all pictures. This is going to be just like Twitter,
Speaker 2: but through your Instagram.
Speaker 5: I thought threads would be first spelled with a Z,
Speaker 5: and so you just have to show pictures of your
Speaker 5: new outfits.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, And it's like if you're verified on Instagram,
Speaker 2: you're verified on Threads.
Speaker 4: It's all connected.
Speaker 2: But I'm just I think I'm just hanging on for
Speaker 2: and I'm looking for any place that I can once
Speaker 2: in a while put a thought that's not Twitter anymore,
Speaker 2: because I just I mean, Karen, you're one of my
Speaker 2: favorite follows on Twitter.
Speaker 4: Do you not find it so horrible in there now?
Speaker 1: Or what you It is the worst?
Speaker 2: It is like verified people are at the top, and
Speaker 2: they're the people that are paying and they're the and
Speaker 2: they're the mostly Nazis. Yeah, and people that are like yeah,
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of suggestions of people that alt come,
Speaker 2: of people, Wait, am I going in the wrong way
Speaker 2: to the drive through?
Speaker 4: And this is it? This is right?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jared got to a car accident coming out
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 4: No, oh yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 2: We just handled it.
Speaker 1: After two years, it's been finally behind us.
Speaker 5: The exit was on the right side. And that fireman
Speaker 5: would have love this, yeah, or someone from England. It's
Speaker 5: all backwards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's all get Starbucks. Yes, this will be recorded,
Speaker 4: so order wisely.
Speaker 3: Can I get an ice sorry, a grande iced latte
Speaker 3: and then also a couple others.
Speaker 4: I'd like a grande iced coffee with a little almond milk.
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be it.
Speaker 4: That concludes the order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like one of those freaks that doesn't drink coffee.
Speaker 2: I know why, because you don't like giving yourself anxiety. No,
Speaker 2: I just honestly, I don't like the taste.
Speaker 4: And I never start.
Speaker 1: I just never start.
Speaker 2: I had one tiny little cup of it in Italy
Speaker 2: one time, and I was like, what are we doing
Speaker 2: to guys? We made a plan, but I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't, like I really need coffee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know they have things like lemonade and stuff.
Speaker 4: Oh sure, oh sure, but I got a water bottle.
Speaker 2: I got an exactly right water bottles and with my
Speaker 2: water staying cool in this all day, I don't need
Speaker 2: any other beverages.
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm very happy that you're actually using that, because
Speaker 3: sometimes those are.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody has their own specific like eyes or shape.
Speaker 2: And I've really worried about it because I love this
Speaker 2: one because it's so big, because I hate refilling over
Speaker 2: and over again. It doesn't fit in the cup holders.
Speaker 2: But I just put it on the seat.
Speaker 4: Next to me, right, so yeah, put thee around it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I treat it like a little baby.
Speaker 4: I put it between my legs because it's so wide.
Speaker 4: It helps with my displac I find that because it's
Speaker 4: so large, I will never leave it anywhere.
Speaker 1: Wait, do you have hip dysplasia?
Speaker 5: No, but I do have a false hit a fake hip.
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, and I'm supposed to get the other
Speaker 5: one done.
Speaker 1: Because hip displasia.
Speaker 4: It is a baby thing.
Speaker 2: Like i'ven't known a couple people who have had babies
Speaker 2: with hip displasia and they put them in these harnesses
Speaker 2: where their legs are just constantly spread eagles, right, and
Speaker 2: it's so hilarious, just tiny babies with their little legs
Speaker 2: like wide open. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's just a word I like to say, like corrugated.
Speaker 5: I say displacious, and I usually miss it. Sounds like
Speaker 5: I was using it correctly. I gotta I like, widen
Speaker 5: my hips.
Speaker 4: You got it? Yeah, wide wide burden hits and then
Speaker 4: I'll never get to use trust me, it's overrated.
Speaker 1: Speaking of some mother.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared got a vasectomy a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: six weeks ago, Yeah, and he just complained for so
Speaker 2: many days, and I was like, this is just not that.
Speaker 4: Big of a deal. I had two nine pound babies. Oh,
Speaker 4: they were over nine pounds.
Speaker 1: They were both nine to three.
Speaker 2: Sos it And I was just like me too, I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I just was like, you know, because when
Speaker 2: they it had like I'm sure it's not comfortable, but
Speaker 2: it's not painful. It's just annoying, you know, right, Like
Speaker 2: I think it's like, oh I wish this wasn't happening,
Speaker 2: kind of like, you.
Speaker 4: Know, no, that's why I I think it's been proven
Speaker 4: women have a higher pain toll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to side out.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. When I had number one, I wanted
Speaker 2: to quit halfway through, I told my doctor, I go,
Speaker 2: we gotta stop.
Speaker 4: She goes, you can't really do that.
Speaker 2: I could see the head and I was like, oh no.
Speaker 2: And then the second one, I mean they really, they
Speaker 2: really do just pop out after that first one.
Speaker 4: So that wasn't that hard. I should have offered to
Speaker 4: give you cash, just a straw for me, thank you.
Speaker 4: Oh did you get an extra water?
Speaker 1: Oh that might not be our water.
Speaker 4: Oh maybe it's not our water.
Speaker 1: This might not be ours.
Speaker 4: Nobody ordered the water. It does look refreshing.
Speaker 1: We don't want him to be offended.
Speaker 4: It was probably something we said, Oh wait, this is weird.
Speaker 1: This is not how it should go.
Speaker 4: I thought you meant that hat with those cargo sharks.
Speaker 2: No, just the in and out are switched exactly. Oh
Speaker 2: that's weird. But that's not how Jared got into the
Speaker 2: car accident.
Speaker 1: Okay, good.
Speaker 2: He was pulling out here and it was like stop traffic,
Speaker 2: and he tried to take a left and he went
Speaker 2: into and the people coming on the other side went
Speaker 2: it was his fault.
Speaker 4: Has he ever been in a car accident before?
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean he's been in like two since then,
Speaker 2: but they weren't his fault. That one was his fault.
Speaker 5: My car has many dents on it, and so people
Speaker 5: maybe think that it's me, But I've never been in
Speaker 5: the car when they happened.
Speaker 2: Oh really, your car just gets walloped a lot while
Speaker 2: it's on the street.
Speaker 4: It's been.
Speaker 5: It's received so many walloppings. Even in my garage. That's
Speaker 5: when it rained a lot. Part of the ceiling fell
Speaker 5: on the back of mic. Your car can't catch a break.
Speaker 5: It can just catch some dry water. It's dented, and
Speaker 5: it's not my fault. I've never been in a wreck
Speaker 5: while operating a motor vehicle.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: I just wind a brag.
Speaker 1: That's a good brag.
Speaker 3: It's ironic though, that you're not driving I am, because
Speaker 3: I have been in I think three or four car accidents,
Speaker 3: all my fault, and the first two or maybe all three,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: It was college age and I just.
Speaker 3: Love to drive fast, and I would like speed and
Speaker 3: it would be raining and then I would go to
Speaker 3: slam on the brakes and just slide into the back
Speaker 3: of cars.
Speaker 1: I did that a couple of times.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm actually getting I don't want to get on
Speaker 3: the one ten, so get.
Speaker 4: Well, you just maybe got that. I've always driven.
Speaker 5: My friends made fun of me because I had the
Speaker 5: seat all the way up and I rest my chin
Speaker 5: on the staring wheel. Basically, I'm like a strange I
Speaker 5: drive in fear, and so of course I've never been in.
Speaker 2: A rent well, but see, Jared drives really like a
Speaker 2: very cautiously and I'm very aggressive, and he's gotten into
Speaker 2: more accidents than I.
Speaker 3: Have because he's doing things like trying to take a
Speaker 3: left out of that story where it's like, no, don't
Speaker 3: do that, just don't take a left four legs and
Speaker 3: then right, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be so harsh to Jered.
Speaker 2: I think that we should just call this episode to Jared,
Speaker 2: stop complaining about traffic, to stop complaining about your vasectomy,
Speaker 2: and stop.
Speaker 4: Getting in car accidents.
Speaker 1: Sick of hearing about yours already keep bringing him up.
Speaker 2: Jesus, I gotta get out of the house, for that's
Speaker 2: all I have are my husband and kids. You need
Speaker 2: to get over to that skatepark and you find to
Speaker 2: meet some bat pals and learn how to allie.
Speaker 5: The next time I'm there, I'm gonna say hello, Yeah,
Speaker 5: come knock on my door.
Speaker 1: My kids love to like watch those guys skateboard and stuff.
Speaker 4: I love.
Speaker 2: They're always nice and.
Speaker 5: Every little kid seems to be somewhat interested in a skateboard.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: It feels like a tiny little car that they can drive.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, yeah, it's just like any kid's gonna
Speaker 5: be like, wow, there's a grown man that still plays.
Speaker 4: With a toy. Interesting. It seems to be pirate of
Speaker 4: his lifestyle.
Speaker 3: It must be very heartening. It's like, oh, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's not all shit after age seventeen or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's that's what your children are thinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're thinking about mortality and when they're going to
Speaker 2: lose their ability to do the things they love.
Speaker 5: The first thing my first words were, when do I
Speaker 5: have to start paying taxes?
Speaker 1: When's that start? Have you been doing sets lately? Great question, Karen.
Speaker 2: I find, much like on this podcast, that my material
Speaker 2: is only about my children, and Jim Daffigan.
Speaker 4: Is allowed to do that. But I'm not you know.
Speaker 4: Oh no, so I think you're allowed to No, Yes,
Speaker 4: I know. I have a good time.
Speaker 2: I do some sets here and there where I get booked,
Speaker 2: but I'm not out there hustling trying to put together
Speaker 2: a new half, you know what I mean. Like I'm
Speaker 2: kind of I write down joke ideas. I rarely sit
Speaker 2: and try to like put things together. But I have
Speaker 2: my show on Wednesdays. Chris comes to do it. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's at Barbiandini Oracle Park.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which that is the best. Oh you should come.
Speaker 2: It's so great. It's just like a natural wine bar.
Speaker 2: But they also have beer and non alcoholic stuff. But
Speaker 2: they I say that just because to say it's not
Speaker 2: a full bar. And the guy that owns it is
Speaker 2: Josh Weinstein, who used to run the Josh and Josh
Speaker 2: Show forever and so it's so perfect.
Speaker 1: He never tries to dick us over.
Speaker 2: He's never like, oh, you're canceled because this corporate Christmas
Speaker 2: party is coming in this week or whatever.
Speaker 1: He gets just like he's he gets it.
Speaker 4: He like we're like we need heaters. He got us
Speaker 4: like the chakest heaters.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds insane because he got us these
Speaker 2: heaters that are like attached to the wall and like
Speaker 2: warm the whole area. We did the show year round
Speaker 2: outside and yeah, we we had it last night.
Speaker 4: It was great packed.
Speaker 1: Everybody wanted to keep the Fourth of July vibes going
Speaker 1: and we.
Speaker 4: Did it last night. Who did it last night?
Speaker 2: Well, Kate ber Lant was feature, was on the line up,
Speaker 2: but then to cancel truly an hour before the show
Speaker 2: because she was sick and so a lot of people
Speaker 2: shut up for her, I think. But also Hannah Einbinder
Speaker 2: was there, Jenny Zigrino, who's very very funny, Nate Fernald
Speaker 2: I believe he is a friend of yours, and a
Speaker 2: couple of newer guys that are so funny, Spencer to
Speaker 2: Rubiarde who was so funny, and Cody Wilkins. We had
Speaker 2: a great lineup last night. Kate will be back on
Speaker 2: the twenty six. I was like, you know, it's like
Speaker 2: one of those things where you know, all these people
Speaker 2: came to see one person or no. I think they
Speaker 2: came to see Hannah too. Hannah is a huge star.
Speaker 2: They came to see a lot of people, but a
Speaker 2: lot of people I think came because Kate isn't in
Speaker 2: LA that much as much anymore, and you know, to
Speaker 2: see her for free to stand up obviously fun. But
Speaker 2: you're like, when do I announce that? Do I say
Speaker 2: it up top where people will leave? Do I say
Speaker 2: it after I take donations? Because it's the donations. But
Speaker 2: we actually had Andrew Dismukes come on. He's on SNL
Speaker 2: right now, and he absolutely burned the place down so good.
Speaker 4: It was a great It was a great, you know, replacement.
Speaker 4: He was like the funniest person in Austin winner I
Speaker 4: got it No.
Speaker 2: Three.
Speaker 4: I'm not here to brag. Oh.
Speaker 5: I think that he was sort of scouted from winning
Speaker 5: that contest now really yeah, I think he won out
Speaker 5: of Austin or and then and then ended up on Snell.
Speaker 4: I don't know him, but he he did.
Speaker 2: He's so funny, like he did really really bring Yeah,
Speaker 2: everyone in Austin speaks very highly of it.
Speaker 3: I feel like that here, I want this question to
Speaker 3: be answered in this car, which is when do you
Speaker 3: make that announcement? And I would say if I was
Speaker 3: Kara Klink in that situation, I would wait.
Speaker 1: Until the second to last person.
Speaker 3: That's exactly when I did it. Gary girl, that's exactly
Speaker 3: when I did it. Because you knew Nate Fernald was
Speaker 3: going to kill. Yeah, you knew Hannah Einbider was going
Speaker 3: to kill. You knew there was a celebrity element you
Speaker 3: were going to be giving them things. If you tell
Speaker 3: them up front you're not going to get the one
Speaker 3: thing you think you want, then they're gonna have a
Speaker 3: set idea but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or they're gonna sit there kind of disappointed the
Speaker 2: whole time, like you tricked me and brought me here
Speaker 2: and like so right before and I told Andrew I
Speaker 2: was doing it, but I go, hey, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: them that Kate isn't coming like right before you, but
Speaker 2: you can just make fun of it and be like
Speaker 2: and he was like, no problem at all, and he
Speaker 2: did that and he was so funny. But I was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: so I know you all like are expecting Kate, but
Speaker 2: she is and like nobody there wasn't like a ah,
Speaker 2: like you know.
Speaker 1: They're just like okay, you know she's sick.
Speaker 2: It's like post COVID too, people aren't like forcing themselves
Speaker 2: to go out when they have a sore throat. You know,
Speaker 2: they're like I just don't feel like it's responsible, so
Speaker 2: you know, hand yeah, And they were all good, and
Speaker 2: I said, and because she had also rescheduled, I go,
Speaker 2: she'll be back in two weeks, come see us blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, or maybe it's three weeks, but you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my instincts are always off because I would think
Speaker 5: you'd want to announce before the show. Just yeah, that's
Speaker 5: what my husband said, was like all these shows like
Speaker 5: that don't tell show or there was some secret headliner
Speaker 5: show that they used to do at the Helium clubs. Yeah,
Speaker 5: people are attracted to the fact that they don't know
Speaker 5: who's gonna be. The element of surprise is what attract Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: And it's the time I did the show at Helium.
Speaker 5: Though I could hear an audible like, oh I don't
Speaker 5: know who I'm like, Oh, this is set up to
Speaker 5: hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2: It's so funny how far people will go to to
Speaker 2: convince themselves that you are somebody more famous than you are.
Speaker 2: Like when I went and performed for the Troops overseas,
Speaker 2: I was like two years into comedy and these guys
Speaker 2: were like, oh, I've seen you on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2: And I go, yep, I was like, you tell your
Speaker 2: friends at home if that helps you get through a
Speaker 2: better day here in Kuwait, then you tell your friends
Speaker 2: you saw someone from esn OL and you can't remember
Speaker 2: her name, you know, perfect but like this, but yeah,
Speaker 2: the the show is really fun on Wednesdays, it's just
Speaker 2: very the clientele is very young. So, you know, Jared
Speaker 2: and I get up there and we banter for like
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes about you know whatever, the news, our lives

Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 4: Like correct, you know, and.
Speaker 2: It's like nobody has, you know, they like they don't
Speaker 2: even have a niece or a nephew.

Speaker 5: Yeah it's a little dog wearing a hamburger a bottom
Speaker 5: bonn as with suspenders. The lettuce and tomatoes are on
Speaker 5: the dog's back, So I actually, right now.
Speaker 4: I'm realizing it's like ready for a human to eat
Speaker 4: a little Yeah, it's a yeah, but you know it
Speaker 4: was cute enough that you can get away with it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a little dog wearing a Burger outfit.
Speaker 1: That's precious. I also love that bar.
Speaker 3: There was some kind of after party type of thing
Speaker 3: and this was so long pre COVID, but I went
Speaker 3: to that bar and I was just I was very
Speaker 3: excited because Josh is such a nice person and him
Speaker 3: and Josh who did the bar Luva show show Josh
Speaker 3: and Josh. Okay, that's right show, but they were so
Speaker 3: like cool and nice and made such a good show
Speaker 3: that people got to do for so long that when
Speaker 3: I learned that was his bar, I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is like I just felt proud of the dumbest
Speaker 3: way of like, I this is a person that does
Speaker 3: so much for other people, and he gets he's still
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 4: No, he They're the best.
Speaker 2: When they quit, Josh and after ten years they gave
Speaker 2: us the show and we started our show called it
Speaker 2: Better Half Comedy, Me and Jared and Lubitch. Oh and
Speaker 2: then Lubich started fucking with us, like what I'm talking about,
Speaker 2: Like new managers came in, they didn't care about comedy.
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, you know you didn't bring in
Speaker 2: them many people this week, but it's like last week
Speaker 2: we were back to the gills, Like what are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like Josh never cares about that kind of stuff, Like
Speaker 2: even though we always like, you know, we have people
Speaker 2: like but you know, they were just like, oh, we've
Speaker 2: got a party next week, so you can't have the show.
Speaker 2: And like we just were like, you know what I think,
Speaker 2: let's get out of here. And we were already moving
Speaker 2: to the East Side. So going to Josh's place at Bandin,
Speaker 2: he was perfect. I had my baby shower at Barbandini.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my baby shower for Rosie was at Barbandini
Speaker 2: because Josh gave me like this great deal and had
Speaker 2: let me do it there. And at that he was like,
Speaker 2: I'd love to get this back Patio set up to
Speaker 2: do a show and everything, and he finally.
Speaker 4: Did it and you were like and I was like
Speaker 4: waiting for it, get me in there. Yeah great, Well
Speaker 4: it worked out.
Speaker 5: So long ago made me realize I need to have
Speaker 5: a seersucker suit. That's very sharp dress guy. Even the
Speaker 5: pants I have right now are kind of seersuckery.
Speaker 1: They're very summary.
Speaker 2: Yes, let me see lift up a little.
Speaker 4: I mean it's got little. Yeah, I feel like I
Speaker 4: could be in a barber shop court.
Speaker 2: Josh and I are have like parallel lives. We are
Speaker 2: from neighboring towns. We went to the same college. Our mother,
Speaker 2: my mother and his father know each other through work
Speaker 2: what We both went to the same study abroad program.
Speaker 2: I lived in Rome. He's married to a Roman woman.
Speaker 2: They now basically live in Rome. He just comes back
Speaker 2: here like all the time.
Speaker 4: That's cool. We just figured out that we have parallel
Speaker 4: lives and you didn't know that, and we didn't.
Speaker 2: We found we would find out that out like almost
Speaker 2: every week, every time I would do Barlow Bitch, we
Speaker 2: would find out another thing about ourselves that was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, no way. And then it's parents came
Speaker 2: to the show and they were like the dad's like
Speaker 2: I know your mother, Like you know, it's like so insane.
Speaker 4: I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yes, there's a guy in la that I don't know,
Speaker 5: but he makes movies. He's written some none of them
Speaker 5: I can think of right now. But he's doing well,
Speaker 5: and he lived near me in my dorms in Montana.
Speaker 5: So we just kind of figured it out Missoula. And then,
Speaker 5: you know, it's interesting, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: Is it is?
Speaker 3: It really is?
Speaker 4: You know what they say it is small, and they're wrong.
Speaker 4: We're all wrong. It's huge.
Speaker 3: It's quite big, and it's covered in water, right, and
Speaker 3: that water has not been investigated in any meaningful way.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Didn't you guys feel like there was just like a
Speaker 2: collective lack of stuff to talk about after the submersible.
Speaker 4: Conversation was over? Right, I made it.
Speaker 2: I was just like, I guess we're done. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I can't even I can't talk anymore.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this during this podcast, I mean the off color
Speaker 5: submarine comment.
Speaker 4: Immediately you heard my voice get high. Yeah, I just
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 1: Didn't say anything. I just let him dangle.
Speaker 2: I had a tweet advertised to me two days ago
Speaker 2: that was like wondering where to go this summer the
Speaker 2: Titanic Museum, and was like, give it a beat, we
Speaker 2: need to just take the gas off.
Speaker 1: The Titanic obsession for two minutes.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I mean the going to the museum would be cool,
Speaker 3: but like the idea that people wanted to go down
Speaker 3: where it ended up is.
Speaker 1: So like, what's the plus there?
Speaker 2: I would never you know what I would do stand
Speaker 2: on dry land and watch a drone go down there
Speaker 2: and watch it on an iPad.
Speaker 4: Right, I love that.
Speaker 2: Take me down a little like a little drone that's
Speaker 2: not going to implode or kill anybody. Show me what
Speaker 2: the wreckage looks like. I guess, I guess I'm not
Speaker 2: even that interested in that.
Speaker 4: To be honest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want to see footage of the fish
Speaker 5: that are down. I want to see some glow in
Speaker 5: the dark fish with a horn on their.
Speaker 4: Head, you know.
Speaker 3: And I heard that the people that were on that
Speaker 3: thing were not looking out windows. They were looking at
Speaker 3: a laptop to see that wreckage. You're kidding, I swear
Speaker 3: to God. Really, because have windows, yes exactly, they didn't
Speaker 3: know how to make windows.
Speaker 2: Well, they are for the fear of what actually happened,
Speaker 2: for the fear of yeah, because no, I think no
Speaker 2: glass could probably withstand that pressure.
Speaker 1: Lord, scary, so scary, it's so scary.
Speaker 2: But it's so funny, don't you think it mirrors how
Speaker 2: obsessed people are with the Titanic. How obsessed we were
Speaker 2: with the submersible like people are. There have been a
Speaker 2: million plane crashes, there have been so many mass casualty
Speaker 2: events in this country.
Speaker 4: The way we are, we are obsessed with that Titanic, right.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we have to look at
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 2: We have to pin that on him.
Speaker 3: You have a real piece of this, Sir Kate Winslet. Yes,
Speaker 3: but I think Leo really it's on him.
Speaker 2: It's like, are people down there trying to find the
Speaker 2: heart from the old lady?
Speaker 4: Is that part real?
Speaker 2: They're like, if I can just find that sapphire to.
Speaker 4: Pay my rent a beautiful locket.
Speaker 1: But also, didn't James Cameron do a thing where he
Speaker 1: they sent cameras.
Speaker 2: And thes gone down there, right, I think he's done
Speaker 2: like a submersible trip, not with the same guy, but
Speaker 2: I think he has done that with a.
Speaker 1: Way better submercial.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The yeah, I think it was so much tension because
Speaker 3: everybody people are like, oh, I hate that, or I
Speaker 3: have claustrophobia. It's like, no, one wouldn't have claustrophobia in
Speaker 3: that situation, Like we're talking about absolute human peril, and
Speaker 3: so the idea that then after the fact people were like,
Speaker 3: it's so wrong that people are making jokes.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, that's what people do when ship
Speaker 1: like this goes down because you're all you can do
Speaker 1: is so what if it was me? Yeah, yeah, freak out.
Speaker 4: Yeah. That was the most when one time when I
Speaker 4: was in Bend, I went.
Speaker 5: Sperlunking in these clan like way down you crawl way down,
Speaker 5: and at one point the crawl.
Speaker 4: Space, I was stuck like my hips.
Speaker 5: I had to like position my body because of your
Speaker 5: displaying the person, yeah, and so I had to open
Speaker 5: up my hip much like mel Gibson had to and
Speaker 5: pop it out of sokker so I could slither through.
Speaker 4: No, I just I was stuck for a minute.
Speaker 5: And that was my first thought is I'm going to
Speaker 5: be so embarrassed if this is the way I go,
Speaker 5: and like people are, no one's gonna feel bad heart
Speaker 5: in a blunking stuck situation. But then moments later it
Speaker 5: opened up into this room and I could stand and
Speaker 5: you could look out of these like way up and
Speaker 5: see these openings in the ceiling of this cave, and
Speaker 5: it was so worth worth I mean, okay, the payoff,
Speaker 5: I felt so good, But yes, it's not something I
Speaker 5: would do.
Speaker 1: Now, when you went back through, was there a problem?
Speaker 5: No, you went through, you went out a different way
Speaker 5: that you didn't turn around and go back out.
Speaker 4: It's like a yeah, no it was.
Speaker 5: And yes, I was drunk middle of the day. There
Speaker 5: was no way I could have done that sober, and
Speaker 5: I knew it.
Speaker 4: You did drunk splunky, Yes, yes, it's the way that
Speaker 4: a lot of the guys do it drunk. Yes, just
Speaker 4: for drunkling is the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Did you ever see that movie that is it The
Speaker 3: Cave of the Climb where it's the three women doing it,
Speaker 3: but then there's things killing them as they're down.
Speaker 1: I know what movie you're talking about, but I didn't
Speaker 1: watch it. The Ascent, The Decent, Decent, The Decent.
Speaker 4: The Ascent is on the way out, that was at
Speaker 4: the end of the movie.
Speaker 2: But that's my I.
Speaker 3: Would not be able to stop obsessing over there's a
Speaker 3: thing that lives down here that no one knows exists
Speaker 3: that is absolutely going to kill us and no one
Speaker 3: will know or care. Like that idea that there's just
Speaker 3: a whizzle like a it looked like it looked like
Speaker 3: a hairless cat.
Speaker 4: Sure, okay, sure, whatever you want to do, go ahead, sir. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's he's got to be somewhere.
Speaker 3: Guys, get up to that red light. Absolutely, but that
Speaker 3: idea seems possible to me. And therefore, how could you
Speaker 3: open yourself up to that level of cave monster.
Speaker 1: No one's on my.
Speaker 4: Side with this.
Speaker 2: No, I I completely, I never I just it wouldn't
Speaker 2: even cross my mind, Like I don't even go that much.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, you're you're saying that's the worst part,
Speaker 2: Like the worst part is that no one would know
Speaker 2: or just that the worst part would be seeing an animal,
Speaker 2: right thing.
Speaker 1: That lives in there that no one knows is there
Speaker 1: because no one goes in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I don't need to be the first to
Speaker 4: do anything. I was scared mostly of just sudden water
Speaker 4: rushing in that was.
Speaker 1: That became the Little Boys on the Team. Y, yes, that's.
Speaker 4: A good documentary. When Karen first mentioned the movie with
Speaker 4: the Descent, I thought, yeah.
Speaker 5: They all go down there to save that soccer team.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, I'm confusing two things.
Speaker 2: That was Elon Musk that saved the soccer team.
Speaker 4: No it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I mean we should have known it that that over
Speaker 1: promise under delivery.
Speaker 3: And then he accused the actual hero of like being
Speaker 3: a groomer or something disgusting or just like, sir, step out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm right now realizing my fear was so
Speaker 5: real because at the end of it, they were saying, now, look.
Speaker 4: At your clothes.
Speaker 5: There isn't any dirt on them because the water washes
Speaker 5: it all away when it goes rushes through. There.
Speaker 4: I was actually sperlunking.
Speaker 1: Through a waterway and you didn't realize.
Speaker 4: There was zero, not a s I was crawling on
Speaker 4: the ground and there was no dirt on my clothes.
Speaker 4: I've found that fascinating.
Speaker 1: But sorry, you didn't know there was water?
Speaker 4: Apology accepted. No, I didn't until the end.
Speaker 5: And then I was like, well, wait, how do we
Speaker 5: know it wasn't gonna come through because it's not June
Speaker 5: or something like it seasonally rushes through that I need.
Speaker 4: I need more hard evidence that I wasn't about.
Speaker 1: To But why didn't you know?
Speaker 4: No one told me until it was over.
Speaker 1: But water is a very specific sensation.
Speaker 4: It's different. Oh No, I was not. There was no
Speaker 4: water when I did it. There was little trickles and
Speaker 4: puddles here.
Speaker 1: And there, but your clothes were clean.
Speaker 4: Yes, how I know, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It was the biggest mystery ever. I'm still it's still mystery.
Speaker 5: I know it's it's it sounds like I'm making it up.
Speaker 3: So were they saying to you, like, there's enough water
Speaker 3: happening that you don't notice it, but it's washing your clothes?
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry. At one point water rushed through and
Speaker 5: got rid of all that dirt. We forgot that we
Speaker 5: didn't get the spin cycle.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that you did. Yeah, I went through. Well,
Speaker 4: everything was being lined dried, gotcha. Yes, there was no water.
Speaker 5: But my fear was when they said, hey, look at
Speaker 5: your clothes, aren't they clean? That's because of all the water.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, what what now? Yeah? Like that's when
Speaker 4: I got scared. But it was after the fact.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, all right, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: It was confusing and I shouldn't have even.
Speaker 1: Brought it up. Look, no, you just confirmed fuck off
Speaker 1: caving lunking of any kind. I don't need it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to.
Speaker 4: I don't want any of that.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I like roller coasters. That's about as dare devil as
Speaker 2: I get And did you guys hear about how my
Speaker 2: cell phone fell out of my pocket on a roller coaster?
Speaker 1: Recently?
Speaker 2: A pretty new cell phone fell out of my pocket
Speaker 2: on the X two at Magic Mountain, which is a
Speaker 2: banger of a roller coast yesterday, Like it is really
Speaker 2: good and it turns you all around, and I was
Speaker 2: in my pocket and I think I just forgot to
Speaker 2: zip the pocket and it sucked out.
Speaker 4: I didn't even notice it. We were off the ride.
Speaker 2: We were we were several steps away from the ride
Speaker 2: before I went, oh, oh my phone, where's my phone?
Speaker 2: And I was like yeah, So I immediately go file
Speaker 2: a report. I'm like bummed out, but my brother and
Speaker 2: I try to enjoy the rest of the day doing coasters.
Speaker 2: Were coaster heads and he's visiting from out of town,
Speaker 2: so we do that. I mean, it literally turned into
Speaker 2: the worst day. It started raining, We got kicked off
Speaker 2: of like the coaster. At one point we were stuck
Speaker 2: on a coaster for fifteen minutes where I just let
Speaker 2: us dangle there like it was like no, no, but
Speaker 2: still like it was just like are we gonna get
Speaker 2: at it? Like we just couldn't believe how much bad luck.
Speaker 2: We were having then pouring rain lightning, so they obviously
Speaker 2: shot all the rides. So we go home.
Speaker 4: I track it.
Speaker 2: I do close up satellite. It's right under the roller coaster.
Speaker 2: So I go, guys, here's a picture of it, zoomed
Speaker 2: in as far as it can go. It's right under
Speaker 2: the roller coaster. Go out there and get it. I
Speaker 2: call for weeks, I'm calling. I finally tweeked. Somebody gets
Speaker 2: in touch with me and goes, please write to our
Speaker 2: VIP email address. So finally I find my IF iPhone
Speaker 2: pings six weeks later and it's in Hong Kong.
Speaker 1: My phone is in Hong Kong because wait a minute.
Speaker 2: Clearly the like teens that worked at Magic Mountain like
Speaker 2: found it and were like, oh, the screen didn't crack.
Speaker 2: This is probably a pretty decent phone, but it's bricked
Speaker 2: because I've put it into lost mode and everything. So
Speaker 2: they're like, we'll resell it to wherever. And I went
Speaker 2: on Reddit. The first thing I found on Reddit was
Speaker 2: their phone was at the exact place my phone was at,
Speaker 2: and the phone had been stolen in London. This is
Speaker 2: clearly a place. Yeah, pipeline, a Magic Mountain, a six
Speaker 2: Flags to Hong Kong pipeline, which and what they what
Speaker 2: they said on Reddit was that these phones are probably
Speaker 2: getting stripped and reprogrammed to be sold as burners in
Speaker 2: the Philippines or something. I have no idea if any
Speaker 2: of that's true.
Speaker 4: This is just read it. I'm quoting as my source here.
Speaker 4: And so I tweet and go, hey, six.
Speaker 2: Flags, why didn't you just tell me that you were
Speaker 2: gonna sell my phone to Hong Kong or whatever. I
Speaker 2: tweet some bitchy things, and they I start getting phone
Speaker 2: calls now for six Files, and I'm still playing phone
Speaker 2: tag with six Flags to this day, and I'm hoping
Speaker 2: to get Bianca on the line very soon because I
Speaker 2: would love to get some reimbursement for the brand new
Speaker 2: phone I had to buy.
Speaker 1: How long ago did this happened?
Speaker 2: At the very the March thirty first, and then it
Speaker 2: pinged back on the very beginning of May, and I
Speaker 2: was like, what the hell? And then I ended up
Speaker 2: breaking down and just buying a new phone because I've
Speaker 2: been using my friend's old ass phone and it wasn't
Speaker 2: holding a charge, and I just I was starting to
Speaker 2: feel like my journey wasn't gonna happen. Then once it
Speaker 2: pinged in Hong Kong, I go, okay, it's really dead.
Speaker 2: I'm going to buy a new phone.
Speaker 1: And that little yeah thing that pinged it it's probably
Speaker 1: sitting in.
Speaker 4: A pile, but I just couldn't believe it there.
Speaker 1: Also, they're so expensive. It's so much money.
Speaker 2: And I didn't have the insurance for the I have
Speaker 2: the insurance for breaking it because I'm a dumb ass,
Speaker 2: but I didn't have the insurance for losing it because
Speaker 2: I'd never really lost it before.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you know, sad story.
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping once I get Bianca on the line,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk it out. Yea if you're a
Speaker 1: diner sore. Yeah, we made a joke about that one time.
Speaker 4: But yeah, and it's stuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Well I just said, any I go,
Speaker 2: any idea how my phone got from an employee's only
Speaker 2: access area to Hong Kong. Yeah, Like, it's not like
Speaker 2: other riders were down there under the coaster chilling and found.
Speaker 4: My phone, right.
Speaker 5: You know, So I was going to call you and
Speaker 5: say I hate to break it to you, but many
Speaker 5: times there's a criminal element with our carnival workers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's so funny.
Speaker 2: Everybody that works there is like seventeen and bored out
Speaker 2: of their minds, like it's really let's know, that's.
Speaker 3: Like people doing that and then they're not. The park
Speaker 3: is like it's unsafe to go down there or whatever. Right, yeah,
Speaker 3: and then that's that.
Speaker 1: Then it's just like, well you' it's.
Speaker 3: On you, and I'm sure the average person can get
Speaker 3: shamed into it's your fault. Yeah, not our girl, not me,
Speaker 3: not me that X two steps it.
Speaker 4: Out of my pocket. We are even if you aren't.
Speaker 4: The guests. We need to have an update on this phone.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, very investigable, lady.
Speaker 2: A voice note, but I'm only trading it for the
Speaker 2: one from Karen's dad, so I will hold my voice
Speaker 2: noe hostage until I get that one. We just passed
Speaker 2: the playground where I was going to have you guys
Speaker 2: pick me up before the snake park as we call it,
Speaker 2: because there is a slide shape like a snake.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, because there's like a tons of snakes. That
Speaker 4: would be weird.
Speaker 1: Thank god, You're like, come on, let's just go back
Speaker 1: and give snake Park.
Speaker 4: The kids love it.
Speaker 2: This is where my daughter's going to be going to
Speaker 2: school in the fall. Hey, this is her little elementary.
Speaker 4: It's not just tiny shoes. I think tiny picnic tables.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a regular picnic table.
Speaker 1: They need adjustments, they're little.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: In skateboard videos growing up, I thought that everyone was
Speaker 5: way better than they are because they were doing like
Speaker 5: kickflips over picnic tables. And then you move here and
Speaker 5: you realize these are tiny. These are baby picnic tables.
Speaker 4: Everyone's been lying to me.
Speaker 1: They're for babies.
Speaker 4: Oh, babies at a picnic. So is there anything you'd
Speaker 4: like to promote.
Speaker 2: A natural segue? Yes, my podcast that's messed up, an
Speaker 2: SVU podcast right here on the exactly right network. Please
Speaker 2: listen if you like sv or even if you don't
Speaker 2: a lot of people listen to our show that don't
Speaker 2: watch us for you, which I find wild, but go
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 4: I've never watched for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a lot of people we explain everything that
Speaker 2: happens in the episode, so people kind of like are like,
Speaker 2: I don't really need to watch it.
Speaker 4: You're telling me what's happening. It's the best. So that's
Speaker 4: how we do.
Speaker 3: And you guys get amazing bookings of people who played
Speaker 3: different parts on the episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like one of the funnest parts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have an episode coming up where we interviewed
Speaker 2: Matthew Lillard, which was so cool.
Speaker 1: That's a great guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were so excited to get him because he's
Speaker 2: in this wild episode with Carol Burnette, and like, we
Speaker 2: were just not going to get Carol Burnette. You know,
Speaker 2: she's like ninety in a legend. I just didn't think
Speaker 2: we were going to get her. So I was like,
Speaker 2: thank god, we got Matthew Lillard and we are actually touring.
Speaker 2: Our podcast is going on tour. We're going to be
Speaker 2: doing like twenty cities in the fall from September to December.
Speaker 2: So that's messed uplive dot com is where you can
Speaker 2: find out everything about our podcast.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 2: Thank you for allowing me to promote myself of course.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, if you live in Los Angeles, come
Speaker 2: down to Bar Bandini on Wednesdays. I gave that a
Speaker 2: nice little twenty minute plug. Yeah that was but I
Speaker 2: also just want you to come.
Speaker 1: Karen, I want to come.
Speaker 3: And that's actually a great kind of bridge from me
Speaker 3: always being in my house to going back out or
Speaker 3: like going to a comedy show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you can come on the side and sit
Speaker 2: with the comics and stuff and talk to us, and
Speaker 2: you we should have you on when somebody is on
Speaker 2: that you like, or a person that you are friendly with,
Speaker 2: or it's.
Speaker 4: A place you could do stand up again. That's an idea.
Speaker 2: I don't want it to be thought that I haven't
Speaker 2: offered if I could get Karen Kilgarriff, I'm just watering
Speaker 2: the seed.
Speaker 1: Plan it, Karen kill Garriff. I'm just doing jokes about
Speaker 1: my kids and my husband all the time. That's my brother.
Speaker 3: The last time I did is said Kara was it
Speaker 3: was like a it was a hot tub show or something.
Speaker 3: I fucking had to follow James Fritch, which which God
Speaker 3: bless anyone who has to ever follow James Fritz. He
Speaker 3: is so fucking good at stand up comedy. But also
Speaker 3: I haven't written a new joke in ever, so everything
Speaker 3: I was just like a of didn't believe my own thing,
Speaker 3: you know. I was just kind of like, and then
Speaker 3: I was like, don't do it. If this is the
Speaker 3: way you're going to do it, right, I get that.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of how I feel right now.
Speaker 2: I think I'll probably eventually start writing more and coming
Speaker 2: up with more stuff. But like just coming out of
Speaker 2: pandemic and the two kids being the age they are,
Speaker 2: I'm just like, my brain is like stretched a capacity.
Speaker 2: I just can't sit and write jokes right now.
Speaker 4: It's also being a mother is a job, and you've
Speaker 4: been doing that.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, it's not that you're afraid your material won't
Speaker 5: be about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can only imagine since it's been years since
Speaker 4: I was in the daycare business.
Speaker 1: Wait where my house? I could have sworn I knew
Speaker 1: how to get there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you just go keep going up a couple more.
Speaker 4: Are you driving by my favorite picnic table? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I just wanted we wanted you to get another visual
Speaker 2: of yourself kick flipping.
Speaker 4: I thinked over that when I was young.
Speaker 1: Straight ahead.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you're bay Area.
Speaker 4: That's also a family name. I'm sure we're related. Coles, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.
Speaker 2: I follow this like Highland Park Instagram, where it's like
Speaker 2: it's written by somebody. It's clearly run by somebody who's
Speaker 2: lived here for their whole life and like hates the
Speaker 2: gentrifiers and stuff, and they were complaining about these things
Speaker 2: being like these like four pillars of plastic that made
Speaker 2: people slow down a little bit in the center of
Speaker 2: the street. And they're like these didn't used to be
Speaker 2: around in the old days, not when I was growing up.
Speaker 2: And then other people are like, yeah, but people drive
Speaker 2: like assholes, like we got to stop them. And it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, neighborhood's changing a lot, Like everyone's just
Speaker 2: so mad about something they're not.
Speaker 1: It's like, but you're so you're saying you're pro is
Speaker 1: it your husband?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Right here?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like saying that they want to go back
Speaker 3: to the time where pedestrians were just getting mowed down time.
Speaker 2: I just liked it when like auto fatalities were higher.
Speaker 4: You know, it's better drunk driving.
Speaker 1: Nobody wore their seatbelt. You didn't have to back then,
Speaker 1: you know, you just died or you lived.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: We saw in the next door app the email came
Speaker 5: in and I opened it and said, did anyone hear
Speaker 5: the cops say come out with your hands up?
Speaker 4: That? Yes, I saw, and then I saw it was Kurt,
Speaker 4: and I was like, is this a bad time to ask.
Speaker 1: Him next door.
Speaker 2: It's on next door, absolutely spiraling about this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I didn't make the joke because I thought he actually
Speaker 5: might be totally freaking out.
Speaker 1: So he is like in the neighborhood and he heard
Speaker 1: cops say, yeah he was.
Speaker 4: He was outside.
Speaker 2: I think they were watching fireworks and they heard cops,
Speaker 2: I think from a helicopter say put down your weapons
Speaker 2: and come out of the house or something. And so
Speaker 2: he's screwing his kids into the house and then just
Speaker 2: asked on Twitter and then apparently on next door, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I did anybody hear that?
Speaker 4: Does anyone know what's going on? Well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was funny to see because usually it's just
Speaker 5: about a stolen bike, and it's like, wait, I know
Speaker 5: that guy.
Speaker 4: I did not make the hot time joke.
Speaker 1: That's really funny, though it is now a bad time.
