In fact, my wife and I were 159 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: just commenting on how much we missed team sports. Oh yeah, 160 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: and because she played college soccer and this, that and 161 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: the other. But so I played a lot of sports. 162 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: I loved it, my dad and I I liked being 163 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: funny with my friends.

We literally would go and just start 348 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: messing with people and we'd just start taking like here's 349 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: a for instance that made us laugh. We'd go into 350 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: the freezer of whoever kid's house who's throwing the party, 351 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: and just start taking all the frozen food out and 352 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: just piling it up and started microwaving stuff. And then 353 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: drunk kids were like, what are you doing, We're like, 354 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: and then we just make up stories of like, oh, 355 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: so and so told me to just start microwaving frozen food. 356 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Biz are stuff. 357 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: You were improvisers that make ourselves laugh. 358 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and now the trend continued. 359 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: Did you actually do improv by the way, because Groundings 360 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: is largely sketch, right. 361 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: It's large, Yeah, and that was more the focus of 362 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: specially especially when I was when you're part of the 363 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: Sunday show at the Groundings, which is that you know 364 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: the B team before you make it to the main stage. 365 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: You're writing three to four sketches a week and you're 366 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: it's just like a which was such a good training 367 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: ground for us. Now, oh yeah, to not have to 368 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: rely on, as you know, writers to cast you yeah, 369 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: at least, well, at least I can figure just figure 370 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: something out for myself. 371 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 372 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: It's almost the reverse of UCB, where UCB used improv 373 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: to generate characters and sketch and maybe you'd you'd bolster 374 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: it with writing later. This was the opposite. So I 375 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: I didn't really improvise until after I got on the 376 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: main stage. Yeah, and to this day, that's still a 377 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: scary proposition. 378 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: Oh, improv for you. Yeah, I feel like you'd be 379 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: great at it. 380 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: I love doing it, like on camera.

Yeah, 720 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: and a buddy of mine, my friend Bart are Our 721 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: other friend Steve, was the student body president, and he 722 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: was trying to sell There was a campaign to sell 723 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: senior class T shirts to raise money for whatever the 724 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: gift the senior class was going to give to the 725 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: school always leave behind, you know, a brand new marquee 726 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: or something. But the T shirts weren't selling. So he 727 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: was like, can you you know there's always like one 728 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: day a week morning announcements, like in between first and 729 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: second period. Do you guys think he could think of 730 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: like a like almost like a radio campaign to sell these. 731 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: So Bart and I started writing these sketches. They were 732 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: radio sketches. We were doing like character voices we were 733 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: doing we were making fun of students and teachers, and 734 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: it became this big hit. But I remember sitting there 735 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: crafting what was like a paragraph, and I thought, what 736 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: I what felt like twenty minutes to me. I looked 737 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: and it was midnight and I'd started at like eight 738 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: o'clock that night. Oh wow, And I thought, oh, that 739 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: didn't feel like work. Yeah, And I should remember that 740 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: writing this little piece of comedy and rewriting and so 741 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 1: not a goal per se, but remember that that you 742 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: know that. I was like, I should hang on to that, 743 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: still too afraid to admit that I think I want 744 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: to do comedy. But I still was like I held 745 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: on to that little exercise. 746 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 2: How long did it take you to tell your So 747 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 2: telling your parents was one thing, but telling like friends, 748 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 2: I want to do comedy. And did that feel scary 749 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 2: at all? 750 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: No, because I just was like, you know, kind of like, 751 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, a little bit in my own world. And 752 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: then you know, as you check in with people, like 753 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: what are you what are you up to? I'm taking 754 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 1: classes at this thing? It was too hard to explain. 755 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: So and then as I as I started performing more 756 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: and I could invite people to shows, then it became 757 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: a thing where like, oh, this is what you've been 758 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: kind of working on the last couple of years. Yeah. 759 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 1: But I had a lot of friends who are like, oh, yeah, 760 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. 761 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, suits you makes sense.

And then my youngest boy is still 997 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,359 Speaker 1: in high school. 998 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 2: South Coast Repertory. 999 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: Bound bound. You never know, hard to say, hard to say. 1000 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 2: But you go with the flow, so it kind of 1001 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:53,439 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. 1002 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because you'll have there. But I'm just 1003 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm happy if they're happy whatever. 1004 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 2: Parents say that, But did you do you feel you 1005 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 2: understood that expression until you had your kids or like 1006 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 2: you've kind of always. 1007 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: Probably not, Yeah, I kind of don't. I run across 1008 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 1: some parents who are like, they want to study philosophy, 1009 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 1: but how do you make money doing that? I'm like, 1010 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: let them do philosophy if they if it, if it's 1011 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: I think there's so much mental angst out there right now. 1012 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 1: If young people can just find like, they'll figure out 1013 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 1: how to you know, uh make a living somehow. But 1014 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 1: if they're if they're passionate about something, it doesn't matter. 1015 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I think so. I've seen friends go to 1016 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,239 Speaker 2: like medical school and be absolutely miserable, but it's like 1017 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 2: the thing their parents wanted them to. 1018 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: Do, and they just they thought, I'll just it'll get. 1019 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 2: Better, yeah at some point and they'll have the stability. 1020 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I definitely think chasing the joy is 1021 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 2: the way, is truly the way. I'm gonna This is 1022 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 2: a perfect segue to a segment I like to call 1023 00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 2: that's nice, but what about me? Okay, And I just 1024 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 2: check in with my guests to be like, and how 1025 00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 2: does that hit you? Aggressively or yeah, well no, well 1026 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 2: just to the point of chasing the joy. Honestly, I 1027 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 2: was earlier saying to somebody I met with Hannah, who 1028 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 2: we may work with soon, that's weet, okay. I just 1029 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 2: had coffee with Hannah and I was saying, we were 1030 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 2: trying to decide in the pastry case if I should 1031 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 2: get anything or I should just stick to the macha. 1032 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm trying to be I'm trying to 1033 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 2: be healthy and be conscientious about how much carbs I consume. 1034 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 2: I just decided this like two and a half weeks ago. 1035 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 2: It's not for me. I like eating, oh Bill, and 1036 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,400 Speaker 2: I'm like, chase the joy, right, that's okay. When it 1037 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 2: comes to free well, thank you. But there's like being 1038 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 2: mindful about there's things that my body legitimately can't digest, 1039 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 2: well struggles to digest. But I'm like, but I feel 1040 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 2: such a joy when I'm eating. 1041 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, from a almond croissant. 1042 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:05,919 Speaker 2: An almond croissanto, raz very croissant, Sure, a buttermilk stone, Yeah, 1043 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 2: I don't.
