Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 3: Either way you want to be.
Speaker 2: There, doesn't matter how much baggage you claim and give
Speaker 2: us time and a terminol and gay. We want to
Speaker 2: send you off in style.
Speaker 3: We want to welcome you back home.
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3: We scared her? Was it fine?
Speaker 4: Malborn?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: To ride? Do you need with Karen and Chris welcome
Speaker 1: to Do you need a ride?
Speaker 3: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgara.
Speaker 1: Hello, my friend Karen.
Speaker 3: Hello Chris, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 5: Do you give me anything to share? Concerns? Anecdotes?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm no anecdotes. I am fascinated by your hair. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's now, it's like it goes. It went out for
Speaker 3: a while, now it's coming back in.
Speaker 1: I got a little hair cut.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I would explain.
Speaker 5: It, but it was funny. The guy went to has
Speaker 5: a very fancy establishment. I went because he has very ornate,
Speaker 5: large silver mirrors. That's why I knows him. And he's
Speaker 5: a block away. But he kind of refused to cut
Speaker 5: my hair. He's like, no, it's so curly and big.
Speaker 5: Let's just and at the end there was just a
Speaker 5: few hair shavings on the floor.
Speaker 1: He didn't do much, so he.
Speaker 3: Just kind of shaped it, gave it a little got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 5: He made it symmetrical because my my hair does grow
Speaker 5: large in the fourth quadrant here on the laure Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so.
Speaker 5: That's And he gave me bangs. I kind of have
Speaker 5: bangs fun. Yeah, yeah, you can't.
Speaker 3: There's a summertime. I guess they're little summertime bangs. I uh,
Speaker 3: And then I'm not.
Speaker 5: I might as well just tell you everything about a
Speaker 5: straightening iron.
Speaker 1: A flattening iron. Uh okay, because.
Speaker 5: I thought maybe I could flatten him and have for
Speaker 5: comedic perk purposes, or maybe some character just straight bank.
Speaker 5: I want to do a face frame. I was looking
Speaker 5: at these pictures and no offense.
Speaker 3: Me in the eye. Right now, I'm telling you, Karen,
Speaker 3: person to person.
Speaker 5: I promise I won't straighten my bangs and not straighten
Speaker 5: the rest of my hair.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, the whole option is off the table.
Speaker 3: Comedic hair concept, hair for comedy purposes is off the table.
Speaker 3: It's meat it it's a crutch. Please don't do it.
Speaker 5: I wanted it all comedy aside, and to I believe
Speaker 5: a detriment to my commercial acting career. I just wanted
Speaker 5: hair like Noel Fielding from Mighty Boosh. I cut out
Speaker 5: some pictures no I put them in a little collage
Speaker 5: on my iPad. I presented them to this hairstylist and
Speaker 5: he basically said, I don't have the right hair for
Speaker 5: that hair.
Speaker 3: Screen then, and then you got my call. Then everything's
Speaker 3: going exactly as I planned.
Speaker 5: It explains he was gone for fifteen minutes right at
Speaker 5: the beginning of the haircut, screaming at the up his lungs.
Speaker 1: And now I know why you.
Speaker 3: Were fighting, And I said, God, damn you don't you dare?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just think that what you're doing already is enough
Speaker 3: because it's your real hair and you're doing what you
Speaker 3: want with it. But once you start getting into manipulating
Speaker 3: your real hair, I think the effort. When I'm watching
Speaker 3: a person on stage that's putting a lot of effort
Speaker 3: into their into what they look like, it's distracting to
Speaker 3: their words and their personality. And then after a while
Speaker 3: I don't care because I think this person cares too
Speaker 3: much and is trying to control what I think, so
Speaker 3: they automatically go into the hate car So I should
Speaker 3: only hate.
Speaker 1: I should not even bring up the series of headbands
Speaker 1: that I have heard.
Speaker 3: Well, if we do talk headbands, we need to introduce
Speaker 3: our guests so that she can weigh in, because I know.
Speaker 5: You, by the way, has a nice transition from uh,
Speaker 5: that's what I wanted, some kind of bangs here, and
Speaker 5: then it tapers off into the side long hair that
Speaker 5: looks nice.
Speaker 3: This always happens when we see other people with good haircuts.
Speaker 3: We say, well, then that's what I want, without considering
Speaker 3: who we are, and that is erasure of self, and
Speaker 3: we have to get into this time.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Emily right now.
Speaker 5: I know we're not supposed to say a guest's name
Speaker 5: before we introduce her, but that's a nice bang to
Speaker 5: sign their taper.
Speaker 3: I literally have already taken a picture of Emily's hair
Speaker 3: to bring to my hairdresser so that I can say, please,
Speaker 3: can we somehow aim towards well?
Speaker 5: Be sure to bring a picture of her covering her
Speaker 5: face because she's trying so hard to not make a
Speaker 5: noise because she's a professional, and that's not all. She's
Speaker 5: an amazing I want. I'm excited to see Emily do
Speaker 5: stand up again. There's a lot of people I want
Speaker 5: to see stand up again. But on top of that,
Speaker 5: she's a very I think, amazing actor. I'm specifying it.
Speaker 5: Everyone thinks she's an amaz an actor.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're not alone. You're not alone.
Speaker 5: She was in that Freeway to Hell thing with me
Speaker 5: that's on YouTube, and she's very good in it, and
Speaker 5: we're great together. Everyone put your hands together for Emily
Speaker 5: Maya Mills.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 4: Your bangs are hot for someone that really got me.
Speaker 4: They are just.
Speaker 3: They were every bang for summer.
Speaker 5: Now they're just look that's fine. Now they were too long.
Speaker 5: See they're hardly bangs.
Speaker 4: Now they're more, they're very they're very flirty. Fine, And Karen,
Speaker 4: you were describing something that I feel about just good
Speaker 4: looking people in general. No, thank you. You know, can't
Speaker 4: trust doing stand up just in general. No, just can't
Speaker 4: trust them. They had to do easy. As Karen a character,
Speaker 4: I just doubt it very much. When you meet up
Speaker 4: a very good looking person who also is you know,
Speaker 4: solid of character. I'm like, wow that, Yeah, now I'm
Speaker 4: blown away.
Speaker 3: You know what I think?
Speaker 4: Every time?
Speaker 3: Single mother and or because I'm thinking of good looking
Speaker 3: meant when you meet a good looking man that doesn't
Speaker 3: immediately oppress you spiritually, then you go how did this happen?
Speaker 3: And then you find out single mother almost every time, right,
Speaker 3: or or older sisters sometimes multiple or multiple sisters.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm guilty of those, some kind of abuse.
Speaker 3: Maybe a child of a missionary, grew up in a
Speaker 3: country with people who didn't didn't have all of the
Speaker 3: first world amenities, but actually understood what love really was
Speaker 3: at an early age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, at the very least.
Speaker 5: Latch key key yeah, which what does that mean, by
Speaker 5: the way, Because for me, when I was young and
Speaker 5: I was coming home and I actually literally had a
Speaker 5: house key on a necklace so I wouldn't lose it.
Speaker 4: We didn't even have one. I had to crawl in
Speaker 4: through the window.
Speaker 3: So someone latch key one upmanship is what that was.
Speaker 1: Someone was home, but you still had to open a
Speaker 1: lot door let me in.
Speaker 3: No, you get in on your own, and you learned
Speaker 3: to be sufficient to beautiful people.
Speaker 1: We're trying to make you interesting during auditions. You door
Speaker 1: that made.
Speaker 4: Drive the bus too. I was sent down the like
Speaker 4: muni to school when I was nine.
Speaker 6: Oh ship in the city and from in the city. Wow, yeah, yep,
Speaker 6: so yeah, you know, you just got to figure. At
Speaker 6: the time, I was like, oh, this is what age
Speaker 6: you get on the bus by yourself. And then in
Speaker 6: retrospect you're like, that was and that was a little early.
Speaker 3: Yeah what nine year old?
Speaker 1: Yeah what age? No, I'm sorry, oh wow, yeah, like
Speaker 1: the the.
Speaker 4: Muni, the old muni. And because it was like I
Speaker 4: remember the first day I did it, my the bus
Speaker 4: stopped at a little liquor store and stopped outside there
Speaker 4: for a really long time, and I didn't know what
Speaker 4: to do, so I kept getting up and sitting down
Speaker 4: and getting up and sitting down. Could have gotten off,
Speaker 4: didn't know where to go, no phones, and then turned out.
Speaker 4: Later I told my dad, he said, I said, the
Speaker 4: bus stop for a really time. He goes, yeah, driver
Speaker 4: got off and went and got breakfast. I was behind you,
Speaker 4: but didn't intervene, which is weird because it was never
Speaker 4: going to repeat it. The issue would never repeat. But
Speaker 4: he didn't intervene. He just kind of watched the wild
Speaker 4: take its course.
Speaker 5: I want to know why your dad assumed breakfast was
Speaker 5: being had at the liquor store.
Speaker 3: He was living in Old Milwaukee for breast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 3: It was like the kind that comes the club cocktail
Speaker 3: that comes all together.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So you were being observed without he You didn't know
Speaker 3: that your dad was following the bus. No, he was
Speaker 3: just making sure. But basically they were saying, you got
Speaker 3: to learn how to do this.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there was a lot of that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think I was at a job in fourth grade,
Speaker 4: you know, like I three busses to get there and
Speaker 4: got paid on payroll.
Speaker 3: Yes, what did you do?
Speaker 4: Well, it was I don't know how real a job
Speaker 4: it was, but I worked for a for a design firm,
Speaker 4: just kind of organizing their shelves and answering the phones,
Speaker 4: organizing the slatches. It was kind of to keep me
Speaker 4: out of trouble. It was like my mom didn't know
Speaker 4: what to do with me. She was working. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: think it was that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: What did she do?
Speaker 4: She was a very ballsy corporate architect for Pacific Assam Electric.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was one of three percent of
Speaker 4: her graduating classes female, and you know at that time,
Speaker 4: so yeah, she was off in Stanley at work. Sue
Speaker 4: in a motherfucker here, you know, here and there. For
Speaker 4: I have some bits about that which I do thoroughly enjoyed,
Speaker 4: because when you're a kid, you're like, I just want
Speaker 4: to skirt to cry into and she's like, pantas, don't
Speaker 4: we get off?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: You you give me home for dinner. No, I'm going to
Speaker 4: be working. You're give me home after that, and I'm
Speaker 4: gonna be so in otherfuckers because I gotta you know,
Speaker 4: we gotta, we gotta pave this way. And it's true
Speaker 4: at the time I was so bummed out, but in
Speaker 4: retrospect that my she we needed her to do that,
Speaker 4: it was actually one hundred percent necessary.
Speaker 3: That's same. My mom was the same. I would think
Speaker 3: we all are latch key kids, and my mom was
Speaker 3: the same way where sometimes I would take a nap.
Speaker 3: So my dad was a firement, so he would be
Speaker 3: home three or four days a week and then, but
Speaker 3: my mom worked every day every weekday. So there were
Speaker 3: times where sometimes like maybe if I was sick or whatever,
Speaker 3: I would take a nap with my dad. And then
Speaker 3: sleep and then my I would wake up and my
Speaker 3: mom would be home and she would like have all
Speaker 3: her work clothes on, and you know, come in with
Speaker 3: her drink and be like, oh you like. That's one
Speaker 3: of my earliest memories is my mom coming in like
Speaker 3: at night time to say hi, and everybody else's mom
Speaker 3: because we lived, you know, like this small farm town
Speaker 3: where everybody else's mom was like lined up in their
Speaker 3: station wagon and that just kind of and I was
Speaker 3: bitter about it for a while because I was like,
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be married in Cunningham. And then once
Speaker 3: I got into high school, I was like, oh no,
Speaker 3: this is the best case scenario. I was given some
Speaker 3: tools that I don't think other people had.
Speaker 5: I still I still am only hearing I took a
Speaker 5: nap with my dad.
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty damn.
Speaker 4: Kid, see Darling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we would my sister like it was when
Speaker 3: I was, I guess in kindergarten. This memory is from
Speaker 3: kindergarten because I would get home from school before my
Speaker 3: sister and so my dad would go pick me up
Speaker 3: and then we would watch Sesame Street until I fell asleep,
Speaker 3: and he like Sesme Street as much as I did. Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I came home one time when I was like in
Speaker 3: seventh grade and my dad was watching Sesame Street and
Speaker 3: the Cookie Monster was doing alistair Cookie Monster Piece theater
Speaker 3: and my dad was laughing his ass off, and I
Speaker 3: walked in. I was like, seriously, is this what you do?
Speaker 3: Well we're at school. He was like, I'm sorry. This
Speaker 3: was a good show. This is a good show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They always little East Riggs for adults on that show.
Speaker 1: They still do.
Speaker 5: That's I didn't notice when I was a kid, but
Speaker 5: you watch it now. That's why they are the best.
Speaker 1: It really is.
Speaker 4: Oh. I was just gonna say, my dad kind of
Speaker 4: got into Beverly Hills now and in that way. It
Speaker 4: was a strange time.
Speaker 3: He was like, like an actual fan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so strange. She's like, you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: Sharon Doherty's face is asymmetrical. But if you look closely
Speaker 4: at this story, you know, a weird, weird critical observer
Speaker 4: of it. He got into it. You got into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I just assumed, of course, if you're a little kid,
Speaker 5: you take naps with your dad.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I just thought it was a cute I'm a teenager
Speaker 5: and I'm sleeping next to my dad. For some reason
Speaker 5: that makes me it's heartwarming. A lot of people think
Speaker 5: that idea is scary. I think it's terrific.
Speaker 1: So I would love to have a nap with my
Speaker 1: dad right now. Miss my dad.
Speaker 3: Most of the time, he's the one that wanted to
Speaker 3: take the nap, and it was just kind of like, no, no,
Speaker 3: you have to because you're you're a little kid. You
Speaker 3: have to take a nap, and then we just lay
Speaker 3: lay down on their bed and.
Speaker 5: Yeah, otherwise you're running around the house where there's knives
Speaker 5: and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember how irritating it was to have to take
Speaker 3: naps when you were a little I would get so mad,
Speaker 3: like I'm not tired and everybody else is still up.
Speaker 1: I think about it all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I refuse sleep hygiene. I refuse it for the
Speaker 4: same just on principle, same things, just so you can't
Speaker 4: I like my autonomy. It's the same reason I used
Speaker 4: to smoke.
Speaker 3: It's just like I say, yes, I choose to do
Speaker 3: this to myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't tell me when they're god.
Speaker 3: I actually my sister has never smoked in her life,
Speaker 3: and we were driving driving by someone who smoked, and
Speaker 3: she goes, what do people smoke? Like, what is it
Speaker 3: about smoking? And I go, you do it to seem cool.
Speaker 3: And you the first year you have to force yourself
Speaker 3: to do it because it feels terrible. Yeah, And but
Speaker 3: then once you start getting that nicotine hit, then then
Speaker 3: it's the addiction. But in the beginning, there's no reason
Speaker 3: to smoke because it's so unpleasant, and so you.
Speaker 4: Got to build up your ability to feel the depletion.
Speaker 4: Right then it's satisfying. That's all it is.
Speaker 3: It was creating the need.
Speaker 5: And if you in the book, Oh, did you the
Speaker 5: one in the book An Easy Way to Quit spoken?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was totally onto it from the beginning
Speaker 4: where I was like, this is just repetition, This is
Speaker 4: just repetition, but it is and it worked, yes, Like
Speaker 4: oh okay, I mean it's like the same thing as
Speaker 4: a co leader, you know, it's just repeating the message.
Speaker 1: Built it in. Yeah.
Speaker 5: When I lived in Austin, i lived I was near
Speaker 5: a hospital and I couldn't believe how many people like
Speaker 5: nurses and people that worked in the medical industry.
Speaker 1: Would be out on smoke breaks. That always blew me away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's because it's a high stress job and
Speaker 5: it's a little treat you give yourself m.
Speaker 4: M like economy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to leave even social situations. I'm gob
Speaker 3: by myself.
Speaker 1: It used to be a nice way to get out
Speaker 1: of bad conversations. I do miss that.
Speaker 5: Oh I forgot. I'm addicted to cigarettes. Although what you're
Speaker 5: saying is so interesting. Right now, I'm happy right back.
Speaker 1: What do we do now?
Speaker 4: How do we get We just have to stay in them.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been a year, so I don't right.
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's been Uh, it's been interesting to
Speaker 5: see people. I did an outdoor show, uh in a
Speaker 5: golf course recently, and the audience it seemed like it
Speaker 5: was going to be great. It was safe. People are
Speaker 5: on blankets, and they wouldn't stop. They didn't know how
Speaker 5: to act. They were just talking to each other. They
Speaker 5: were overwhelmed with the fact that they were sitting near
Speaker 5: each other. Yea, And it made for a terrible audience
Speaker 5: and they got drunk.
Speaker 4: Because I did a outdoor show recently, and similarly, I
Speaker 4: was like my first show out. I didn't know what
Speaker 4: I was going to say, and I said, I went, like,
Speaker 4: so any marrieds here, you know, thinking about that's my marriage.
Speaker 4: You know, I got some married married person stuff and
Speaker 4: connect with the people who had to, you know, gain
Speaker 4: a decade of marriage in a year from staying inside
Speaker 4: one person. And uh, nobody, nobody hooped. There was not
Speaker 4: a single married. It was all single. Everybody's single. They
Speaker 4: were just all there to match, you know, dig some
Speaker 4: butts and pussies and vagina. I know they just wanted
Speaker 4: we could have just made it an organized situation in
Speaker 4: which they could fit their junk.
Speaker 1: And really they were all trying to get get.
Speaker 4: There because I even said that, and they were like, like,
Speaker 4: I mean genuinely.
Speaker 3: It makes perfect sense because it's that's what every concert
Speaker 3: every night at the our, and it's just an excuse
Speaker 3: for people to go and try to get back into
Speaker 3: the mix.
Speaker 1: Yes, really was what was that beach people?
Speaker 4: No, this was front town people.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, huh, I was blaming it on the ocean.
Speaker 3: The ocean.
Speaker 4: No. No, Christian, my husband, Christian, you guys know, it's
Speaker 4: the best lovely, smart, funny person. He also handsome with
Speaker 4: a good personality, good looking and why wow, all of
Speaker 4: the things we mentioned I think not the single mom,
Speaker 4: but like you know, I think there was there was
Speaker 4: a severe trauma right around the time of his birth,
Speaker 4: you know, mom was there was stuff going on. Nice sister.
Speaker 5: Yeah there's older sister. Nice old not older. Oh interesting,
Speaker 5: that must mean there was also some neglect.
Speaker 1: I don't know like that. It's a perfect balance of things.
Speaker 4: You just have to.
Speaker 1: Make for a great person.
Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, other people. Other people's deep hurts make us
Speaker 3: feel so much better, exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: But he's that's the funniest line that I repeat. He's
Speaker 4: forgotten saying it that I repeat all the time about
Speaker 4: he's like one day he looks at me, he goes God.
Speaker 4: I remember being in my twenties and every day I
Speaker 4: would get ready and go outside, like maybe today my
Speaker 4: life will begin. Every every tidy's not ready and left
Speaker 4: the house to go do anything. It was like, okay,
Speaker 4: maybe now it all starts today. Yeah, they'll find.
Speaker 3: Out what it is.
Speaker 1: I still do that now.
Speaker 3: Every every single person does it. No, everyone's like anything
Speaker 3: anything besides Netflix, anything sides pizza delivered to my door.
Speaker 1: Totally.
Speaker 4: I do it.
Speaker 1: Every day.
Speaker 5: I put on a three piece suit, I get in
Speaker 5: the car, I have no destination. I'm like, let it
Speaker 5: starts today and I just do this. I just kind
Speaker 5: of drive around downtown and look for parking.
Speaker 3: I came up. I'm up in the Petaluma and as
Speaker 3: you can tell my.
Speaker 1: Sister or as I like to call it sometimes Temecula.
Speaker 1: Sorry make fun of myself there.
Speaker 3: But I was going to say, we had so I
Speaker 3: came up for my niece's confirmation, and so then my
Speaker 3: dad had like the party afterwards. So it was Adrian's
Speaker 3: family are my sister's best friend all her life, and
Speaker 3: my cousin Stevie's family, and so there was thirteen people
Speaker 3: there total, and it was I was like breathless the
Speaker 3: entire time, because I've truly been by myself in my
Speaker 3: house almost the entire quarantine except for a couple of times,
Speaker 3: and like one or two people have come come over,
Speaker 3: but for the most part, like I haven't been in
Speaker 3: a group scenario. But everybody had two shots, and it
Speaker 3: was and these are the people I've known my entire life,
Speaker 3: you know. It was at one point during dinner, somebody
Speaker 3: started eying, like I'm so touched, and then everybody on
Speaker 3: our side at the table started crying. All at the
Speaker 3: same time, and everyone's like, oh my god, what what's
Speaker 3: going on? What's going on? And it was just like
Speaker 3: and everyone got kind of drunk, and there was lots
Speaker 3: of like loud joke telling and really really loud laughing,
Speaker 3: and I was just like, oh my god, it's like
Speaker 3: we're all trying to get it out. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like our big chance to like be human beings.
Speaker 1: And god, I love it. I love it. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting year. I'm excited.
Speaker 5: I love to hear that anyone. Everyone's sort of on
Speaker 5: the verge of tears. That's the best case scenario.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, everyone, and everything's elevated, like you're feeling everything.
Speaker 4: My mom just did that with all of her college friends,
Speaker 4: Like she went they were all Backstep and they went
Speaker 4: to Virginia. They do it yearly. She was so upset
Speaker 4: that they didn't get to do it last year. And
Speaker 4: she's like, I mean, you know how moms are sometimes
Speaker 4: where Like I surprised her on her birthday a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and she was like so overwhelmed. All
Speaker 4: she could keep saying was like I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: You know, Like she could register and she just could.
Speaker 4: Only say the words like her brain her brain couldn't
Speaker 4: register it. So it's that thing where you're like, and
Speaker 4: she goes, how long do I have you for? Like,
Speaker 4: I'm here now, so let's do obsorb that part first
Speaker 4: before we talk about when I'm gonna rob you of me,
Speaker 4: which'll be devastating, I'm sure, but that's what parents do.
Speaker 4: So she had done that about the Virginia trip, where
Speaker 4: it was like and I didn't get to go last year,
Speaker 4: and it's like nobody went anywhere, but anyway, she goes,
Speaker 4: and I think they just had the most It was
Speaker 4: like the most intense fun. It was like going to prom,
Speaker 4: but for like a week where they just were all
Speaker 4: every minute of it, every morsel, like you know, every joke,
Speaker 4: every slice of cheese, every glass of wine. She was like,
Speaker 4: it was so fun, and I'm like, I can't wait.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was saying, I want to start having parties
Speaker 3: at my house again, but I'm going to start having
Speaker 3: them with like in small groups, so it'll be small
Speaker 3: groups of well chosen people, so that if somebody gets
Speaker 3: super drunk and like bars in front of everybody, it's
Speaker 3: all the other people there will be like that's fine,
Speaker 3: we don't care. And then you just kind of build
Speaker 3: it slowly so that everyone gets good at it, crying, screaming,
Speaker 3: weird fighting, you know, you build it until it's like
Speaker 3: large party.
Speaker 5: And thank you for not saying that I would be
Speaker 5: the one vomination. I think it goes without saying, yeah,
Speaker 5: it really I don't know why I mentioned it.
Speaker 4: Or not.
Speaker 1: No, no, I've been doing fine. Well not I bought
Speaker 1: a bottle last night. The point is, what a fun theme?
Speaker 5: What a fun theme for the party that is actually
Speaker 5: pretty utilitarian to go, like, hey, let's have a vaccination
Speaker 5: celebration party, Karen, and then everyone, as a practice for
Speaker 5: having this vaccination passport or whatever, they have to bring
Speaker 5: their little card and then you have to ones at ease,
Speaker 5: like if that's the theme of it, even though maybe
Speaker 5: a lot of people are.
Speaker 3: Doing it or it sounds having the card, is that
Speaker 3: is that what we're going to do?
Speaker 4: I think, like I wondering about that.
Speaker 3: I mean, wear it right on your shirt. I think
Speaker 3: we should wear it like lamin. It's like backstage passes. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but then yeah, you know that everyone around you know,
Speaker 3: one's messing around.
Speaker 5: Maybe even put little heart shaped punches in mind, just
Speaker 5: to suggest that maybe I've had some boosters already.
Speaker 1: Free sandwich, free sandwich.
Speaker 5: In some way specifically, Yeah, yeah, you got it, because
Speaker 5: I'm lateis in Wait, no more big giant pants for me.
Speaker 4: Did you guys have different shapes during the pandemic. I
Speaker 4: definitely was a few different shapes. I was not one
Speaker 4: size this whole time.
Speaker 5: Was now I started. It's weird because I started in
Speaker 5: a panic. I'm like, well, I'm going to turn my
Speaker 5: living room into a gym and do chin ups and
Speaker 5: watch videos and do pilates in my apartment and eat
Speaker 5: not eat meat. I was doing pretty well, and everyone
Speaker 5: else is like, screw it, I have nothing to do.
Speaker 5: I'm going to have a bottle of wine. Things that
Speaker 5: make sense. And then the minute I see that society
Speaker 5: kind of getting back to normal and thriving again, that's
Speaker 5: when I'm like, Okay, I'm going to decide now to
Speaker 5: slow it down and start drinking again. I have to
Speaker 5: create my own obstacles. I'm not going to let this
Speaker 5: virus do it. So, you know, Yeah, so I've gained
Speaker 5: a little. I've yeah, I've gotten back to normal. But
Speaker 5: for a while, boy and Karen will attest to this.
Speaker 1: I was ripped.
Speaker 3: It was like, is that Dave Bautista my podcasting with
Speaker 3: I would say to him, Yeah, it's weird because I
Speaker 3: was doing the opposite where right when it was like
Speaker 3: we are going into quarantine as a nation, I was like,
Speaker 3: this is so scary and odd and never it's like unprecedented.
Speaker 3: So I was like, whatever I want to do is
Speaker 3: fine because I can't like I can't live in that
Speaker 3: hell of Oh but this, no, but that. So for
Speaker 3: the first six months, you know, as I was wiping
Speaker 3: down cereal boxes and doing all that crazy shit, I
Speaker 3: would just be like pizza and this and that. You know,
Speaker 3: it was like whatever it takes to get me through
Speaker 3: this thing. And then you know, basically at the end
Speaker 3: of last year, I was like, you got to tighten
Speaker 3: this up because you're going to get You're gonna be
Speaker 3: really unhappy. And then you're you know, like my thing
Speaker 3: is I never I'm so old and I don't like
Speaker 3: I'm I so resist like modern life where like everything
Speaker 3: is Instagram, everything is get your picture taken. Everyone wants
Speaker 3: to constantly take a picture, and I'm so not used
Speaker 3: to it, so I'm always like showing up at places
Speaker 3: like I can't tell you how many podcasts I've shown
Speaker 3: up to without makeup and like just out of the
Speaker 3: shower and then they're like, oh, this is video simulcast
Speaker 3: or some shit where you're just like, how about you
Speaker 3: put that in the fucking email. I worn a gal beforehand,
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, so here's that kind of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's lots of lots and lots of photos where I
Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, I should have I should have
Speaker 3: thought that through. So then I was like, well, then,
Speaker 3: now let's just rain this in a little bit so
Speaker 3: that by the time we reopen, it's not you haven't
Speaker 3: gone even further out than you already have. So but
Speaker 3: it doesn't. The problem is when you're just sitting at home,
Speaker 3: like I can be good during the day, but then
Speaker 3: by nighttime, I'm like, oh, doesn't fucking matter, and.
Speaker 5: I just yeah, returned ten year olds during summer, I've
Speaker 5: just been a fifteen year old during summer vacation this
Speaker 5: whole time, trying to marry my own rules, no.
Speaker 4: Rituals, no good habits. I know, I know it's been bad,
Speaker 4: and I'm also like guilty of that in general in
Speaker 4: the world. Similarly, where I'm like, I just don't think
Speaker 4: in terms of the taking the picture. I can barely
Speaker 4: remember that people can see me most of the time,
Speaker 4: like I do. I really just like this time I
Speaker 4: work cognitively, I'm just not not looking at it from
Speaker 4: the outside. And now they really can't see you, so
Speaker 4: like you can't there are no people to see you.
Speaker 4: So boy. I actually listened to you guys in preparation
Speaker 4: for today a previous podcast, and Karen was talking about
Speaker 4: getting having just showered, and I was like, you were
Speaker 4: talking about how you get the creepy feeling later in
Speaker 4: the day, and I was like, man, that really sounds
Speaker 4: like she showers every day. Now I'm in the play
Speaker 4: of judgment about myself and I'm not even outside, so
Speaker 4: it sounds like you've been Nelly's getting in there on
Speaker 4: the regular.
Speaker 3: In the beginning, I was not, ye, it was pretty yeah,
Speaker 3: that real hippie. It was the kind of thing where
Speaker 3: I would go, I would start feeling bad and then
Speaker 3: I would be like, oh, I know, I can take
Speaker 3: a shower, and it would be like that was the
Speaker 3: realization finally that it was just like, maybe do this
Speaker 3: more more often and you won't have to go through anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for that brief feeling of invigoration. But then
Speaker 1: you wash your hair too much, you get dry scalp.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just me.
Speaker 3: No, I think we all we all have gone through. Also,
Speaker 3: I had people working on my house, so I was like,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't kill you to have some clean hair and
Speaker 3: mask are on when people show up at your house.
Speaker 3: That wouldn't be bad. But that's good.
Speaker 4: Say you started trickling in the outside world before as
Speaker 4: a little practice, right, a little drip.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, we get all called up and then they
Speaker 5: just come in, where's the plumbing problem?
Speaker 1: And don't even look at you? But what about my Hey,
Speaker 1: I did that some rouge.
Speaker 3: I'm from the forties, mask, face of makeup covered by
Speaker 3: a mask, but I'm still good practice, good practice? Do you.
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 1: You do?
Speaker 5: You and Christian go do your separate things, so you
Speaker 5: make sure that you don't you aren't in each other's
Speaker 5: face too much.
Speaker 4: Well we we by the nature of the fact that
Speaker 4: I was doing an MFA like a Psycho that I
Speaker 4: just finished this week, So I.
Speaker 1: Was like, you went back to school. I did.
Speaker 4: I went, whoa, remember you were in the damn thing
Speaker 4: we shot? And then yeah, I just had to cut
Speaker 4: like a real directing reel and an acting real today
Speaker 4: separately that for something else, and you're on both of them.
Speaker 1: I gotta see it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so cute.
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was almost like dramatic acting. I
Speaker 1: felt like it was well it was.
Speaker 4: It was a genre exercise and it was French New Waves. Wait,
Speaker 4: I was so silly. It was like really dumb. Its wonderful.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 3: Your MFA was for directing. Yes, amazing, it was great, No,
Speaker 3: it was great.
Speaker 4: It was great. And so it was like crazy. The
Speaker 4: pandemic was actually pretty crazy because it was non stop.
Speaker 4: I never I felt like I never like got up
Speaker 4: from my chair or you know, just twelve somehow meant
Speaker 4: to have twelve hour days all the time anyway, and
Speaker 4: it was I guess the fact that I didn't have
Speaker 4: to drive downtown to USC was good. That was from
Speaker 4: Burbank was like sort of killing me before that, and
Speaker 4: so that felt like it was gonna give me my
Speaker 4: time back. But then there were other like you know,
Speaker 4: jobby things and just kind of keeping so I didn't
Speaker 4: I was I felt changed to my desk. And then
Speaker 4: he started this podcast that he's been it's like this
Speaker 4: magnum opus. It's like this, it's narrative and it's a musical,
Speaker 4: and it's like it's incredibly engineering and he's the only
Speaker 4: one making it. Should be twelve people. So as my
Speaker 4: therapist said that, she was like, hey, can't beat him.
Speaker 4: Join them right, meaning he finally figured out some way
Speaker 4: to be busier than I am. We're just like out
Speaker 4: busying each other. But I just finished, So I'm like
Speaker 4: ready to go dive into a pool and an ocean
Speaker 4: and swim up a river.
Speaker 5: And ready to make an ice break, go to a
Speaker 5: pool party at your house after Yeah, over.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we get I was so excited.
Speaker 4: This is like where they I had a little bit
Speaker 4: of anxiety because we get on uncovided. We get fully
Speaker 4: rest in two days, the fourteen days over on Sunday
Speaker 4: of this week. But so my final film that I
Speaker 4: made screens on Zoom tomorrow, so tomorrow the screen. So
Speaker 4: I was like, maybe we can get away with a
Speaker 4: little having the crew over something. And I got so
Speaker 4: overwhelmed by the idea that I just didn't I'm not
Speaker 4: doing anything. We're like going to put pants on. We'll
Speaker 4: get there one step at a time.
Speaker 3: That's right, we can't. You don't You don't want to
Speaker 3: get the bends, the quarantine bend. Putting on pants all
Speaker 3: the time?
Speaker 1: Easy, easy, easy, yeah, easy on the way of the surface.
Speaker 3: Keep those large sun dresses coming.
Speaker 4: Just a little bit of a couch calf can.
Speaker 1: Yes, but but you know, seriously have a pool party,
Speaker 1: yeah please.
Speaker 4: But I mean this is this is the question. Do
Speaker 4: you are you like? Where's your laminate?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: How do you is it?
Speaker 4: Do you are you going to have? Are you going
Speaker 4: to check on those? I mean I want to not
Speaker 4: be worried at all.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're worried for your ye right?
Speaker 1: And I think doing that as a theme.
Speaker 5: Who cares how it makes anyone feel it Once they're
Speaker 5: at a party and they know everyone has flashed their card,
Speaker 5: it will be people trying to put their faces in
Speaker 5: other people's faces.
Speaker 3: Don't you When I got my second shot? So sorry,
Speaker 3: you said you got yours only, But you're just waiting
Speaker 3: for the quarantine time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fourteen days comes Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, me too, Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're sorry because it's like I'll be get into
Speaker 3: your pool too.
Speaker 5: It's weird around three o'clock, right when the sun is
Speaker 5: at it's pinnacle.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 5: Also, it's so weird that right when I'm cleared, I'm
Speaker 5: I'm going to buy new shorts, shorts so weird.
Speaker 4: BB shorts and worn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, short et, I'm getting that.
Speaker 3: Big short start the most popular short story. Everyone goes
Speaker 3: the short barn.
Speaker 1: The short bar.
Speaker 3: That's a good idea for your very I to say.
Speaker 3: When I got my second shot, I said to the
Speaker 3: guy who gave it to me. First of all, he
Speaker 3: gave it to me, and then I turned to him
Speaker 3: and I went, it's over. And I don't really know
Speaker 3: what I meant. I just wanted. I wanted it to
Speaker 3: be a trauma I wanted and he kind of just
Speaker 3: stared at me. But then I said, so, I shouldn't
Speaker 3: get this laminated right because there's spaces for boosters and
Speaker 3: who knows in the future. And then he went, no,
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna need to get He goes there's plastic
Speaker 3: sleeves and I go, yeah, but where do I get
Speaker 3: one of those? And he goes, hold on, and he
Speaker 3: went and got me one. So but personally, I can't
Speaker 3: wait to show people that I have that thing, like
Speaker 3: I uh, I just realized I didn't bring up with
Speaker 3: me on this trip though, but but like I was
Speaker 3: just thinking, Oh, if I had a party, what I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do is buy a box of those little sleeves
Speaker 3: and be like here, put this on and literally pin
Speaker 3: it to your shirt. Like how how comforting would that
Speaker 3: be to just be walking around a place where everybody.
Speaker 1: Had there Burger?
Speaker 3: Can I try your mappar any solid fingers.
Speaker 4: Waiting to share?
Speaker 5: I have a whole collection of him, So I can't
Speaker 5: wait to put my vaccine card. And then also be
Speaker 5: reminded of south By Southwest two thousand and five or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's called, yes Land years because we I had a
Speaker 3: birthday party for my friend. Remember the day last summer
Speaker 3: that was so hot. It was like one hundred and
Speaker 3: thirteen in La. It was like that crazy short heat wave.
Speaker 3: And my friend was going to have my friend was
Speaker 3: throwing my friend his birthday party and they were going
Speaker 3: it was going to be social distanced in a park.
Speaker 3: And my friend called whose birthday was called me. He
Speaker 3: goes he didn't even really want to have the party.
Speaker 3: He was just like he's he was ultra quarantine. But
Speaker 3: he was like, can we move it to your house?
Speaker 3: And so we can be in that pool because it's
Speaker 3: going to be one hundred and thirteen. And it was
Speaker 3: like absolutely so it truly was only like six people
Speaker 3: or six or eight people. Think we were also freaked out,
Speaker 3: like because it was July, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember I just come back, or yeah.
Speaker 3: We were so freaked out, like everyone was trying to
Speaker 3: be cash and everyone's like we all got negative tests,
Speaker 3: but in our minds were like that kind of doesn't
Speaker 3: matter if you did three things after that test, yeah,
Speaker 3: like or you know, who knows what that actually means.
Speaker 3: So people were distanced. Some people had their masks on
Speaker 3: but then they ended up taking them off, but they
Speaker 3: still were like everyone was just it was the worst.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was great to be around human beings again,
Speaker 3: but it was we were also uncomfortable. So the idea
Speaker 3: of being able to do that and be like having
Speaker 3: that comfort back, do it for.
Speaker 1: Real for real?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, no questions, No, like I wonder if Mike,
Speaker 4: yeah test Mike to pass Bill his thumb Bill, Like
Speaker 4: did he really is? I just want to be here
Speaker 4: whatever that's that seems like that's the things that you do.
Speaker 4: Actually I asked that because of the show I was
Speaker 4: doing a couple of weeks ago, Like it was a
Speaker 4: show that on an a venue downtown on a roof,
Speaker 4: and like something happened where the bar got kicked out
Speaker 4: of the building and so they didn't have a venue,
Speaker 4: and so they came to they asked to come to Spoke,
Speaker 4: which is where we do a show and we'll be
Speaker 4: coming back, and so it was sort of like this
Speaker 4: show transfer thing and then they and then I was
Speaker 4: asked to be on the show so promote our show.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: It was just like a nice unexpected early earlier than
Speaker 4: I thought, doing a show outside and was managed by
Speaker 4: other people. So I had questions. I was like, well,
Speaker 4: what do you think? You know, like, are all the
Speaker 4: do you think all these people here are vaccinated? If
Speaker 4: you were to do a call in response, which I did,
Speaker 4: it sounded like one hundred percent of the people were.
Speaker 4: But it was kind of packed and like people were
Speaker 4: just out and over it, right, Yeah, So I asked
Speaker 4: somebody who's one of the hosts of the show.
Speaker 1: I was like, is this.
Speaker 4: What do you think is going to happen when it
Speaker 4: comes to like parties and stuff, like are we going
Speaker 4: to need to like show our car you know, how
Speaker 4: will we know that everyone's vaccinated? And it sounds like
Speaker 4: it's exactly what you were saying, and I that's what
Speaker 4: I would asking at a moment, like are we going
Speaker 4: to have to have like some the door?
Speaker 5: It only makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna bring it
Speaker 5: with me. I've shown it to be unsolicited. I've shoved
Speaker 5: it in people's faces a couple of times. Down I
Speaker 5: brought it. I did a show in San Diego and
Speaker 5: it was kind of like that, except the audience was
Speaker 5: they really took care of the audience and took their
Speaker 5: temperature and they were all in tables far away from
Speaker 5: each other. But I was on stage and there was
Speaker 5: like a jazz band. It was like a jazz and
Speaker 5: music and comedy thing. And I right away I went
Speaker 5: up to the mic. I'm like, this is the same
Speaker 5: mic as the other guy. Oh right, I'm vaccinated. I
Speaker 5: don't have to worry so is he. We just had
Speaker 5: a conversation about there's a trombone there.
Speaker 1: I'm right near the spit valve like I was so
Speaker 1: paranoid about everything.
Speaker 4: But it was we're still wiping down the mic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I maybe I should have brought my own
Speaker 5: mic wipes, but it was so just as a side note,
Speaker 5: doing stand up with a band, I got into reggae
Speaker 5: and they played perfect reggae music and then they did
Speaker 5: some und I felt like a cruise ship entertainer was
Speaker 5: the best feeling.
Speaker 1: I felt like a kid again.
Speaker 5: I just and the audience was so excited and there
Speaker 5: was people looking for it was downtown people looking out windows,
Speaker 5: people in the street watching that something was happening, and
Speaker 5: you could just tell everyone was so excited. And I realized,
Speaker 5: while being scared of the microphone that like, oh, we're
Speaker 5: about to enter a very fun time for stand up.
Speaker 5: I'm like so excited about it. Yeah, it was the
Speaker 5: best time I've ever had. I felt like I had
Speaker 5: just started comedy again. I felt like I was twenty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think audiences are going hopefully, like you know
Speaker 3: that thing in LA audiences where people are like, I'm
Speaker 3: an expert and I am I know comedy best and
Speaker 3: I'm here to I'm only here for the best jokes
Speaker 3: or whatever. Yeah, I just feel like those days are
Speaker 3: over because people are just like I'm here.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, be a person.
Speaker 1: That's I mean.
Speaker 4: I always used to say like people would should on flappers,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I love flappers, but I love flappers.
Speaker 4: There's people it's like you just drive over the hill
Speaker 4: and you get Americans go to a job and go out.
Speaker 1: To the state Indiana or something. Yeah, I agree, I
Speaker 1: like it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love people who are up for it. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I would say, like, I like that thing that we've
Speaker 4: missed about, not only human contact, but performing, that whatever
Speaker 4: energy between audience and performer that is only created live
Speaker 4: in stand up right, because can't be done on zoom obviously,
Speaker 4: you know, and studying you know, film or whatever and
Speaker 4: making all these movies. It's like, man, why didn't I
Speaker 4: start doing that earlier? Well, I was addicted to live performance.
Speaker 4: There was nothing that beat it. I mean, I probably
Speaker 4: should have started trying to figure out how to make
Speaker 4: things for posterity sooner, but that was not what I
Speaker 4: cared about at the you know, I was absolutely addicted
Speaker 4: to the thing that can only be created between an
Speaker 4: audience and a performer in the moment. It's like, there's
Speaker 4: nothing like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing better. And I think, you know,
Speaker 3: for myself, as a person who I honestly thought that
Speaker 3: that kind of performing like I would do stand up
Speaker 3: here and there around Dela in different ways. But I
Speaker 3: thought that like I wouldn't that, I just kind of
Speaker 3: wouldn't be doing that again. And because of live podcasts,
Speaker 3: the kinds of shows me and Georgia have been able
Speaker 3: to do, like it's like it's like Christmas every night, Yes,
Speaker 3: in that way where you have an audience that absolutely
Speaker 3: wants to like there's no winning anybody over it. They're
Speaker 3: already there with you. Every time I walk on stage
Speaker 3: at those shows, it's truly like I won the lottery
Speaker 3: over and over again. And it's so I realized, like
Speaker 3: I've done lots of other things that have been exciting
Speaker 3: and cool or whatever, but this is a ship I started.
Speaker 3: This is what I'm in it for. And this feeling
Speaker 3: of being able to be on stage and make a
Speaker 3: very large group of people laugh at one time that
Speaker 3: there's nothing like that, there's just it's the best.
Speaker 1: High of all of all the high.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I told myself it didn't matter to me at the beginning.
Speaker 5: I think I did a good job of forgetting it
Speaker 5: about it and then you had to. I think that
Speaker 5: if if if we were to get another India like
Speaker 5: wave of some whatever.
Speaker 1: Some it's not going to happen.
Speaker 5: But if that were to, I would really be bummed
Speaker 5: out because I just had a taste of it at
Speaker 5: that show in San Diego.
Speaker 1: That Yeah Riff City show. It was so fun.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my god, I haven't felt this happy
Speaker 5: from anything from Ship's Creek or making dollhouses, or golfing
Speaker 5: or skateboarding, everything that's gotten Watching Creak, yeah, oh.
Speaker 4: I do it all.
Speaker 1: I got it?
Speaker 3: Are you the Starship's crazy?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watch I hit golf balls at the screen.
Speaker 5: My TV looks terrible, or just everything I've gotten into that.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this makes me happy. This is what
Speaker 5: normal people do.
Speaker 3: I've done.
Speaker 5: Okay, I've felt but now I'm I'm fucked because I
Speaker 5: really the other night I'm still high from it. Afterwards,
Speaker 5: I like couldn't sleep. I stayed up in bed. I
Speaker 5: felt like a kid again. It felt like Christmas. I
Speaker 5: just yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait. We're we're
Speaker 5: coming up on good times.
Speaker 1: I think, well, you.
Speaker 4: Both have to come to the Frogtown show. It's river side.
Speaker 4: I always think of it like I always think of
Speaker 4: it as a bit of a ferrier or a love
Speaker 4: boat cruising along the river because it's right there. So
Speaker 4: that's that's the vine that it has. We're on the
Speaker 4: deck of some kind of steamer.
Speaker 3: Or something.
Speaker 1: On sorry it is the river.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I we worked in a building that was basically
Speaker 3: across the street from there. Yes, And when we worked
Speaker 3: on Portlandia that season, it was just like right there
Speaker 3: and we went over one day just to be like
Speaker 3: what is this and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: they do that comedy. I didn't realize it was your show,
Speaker 3: but I knew they did a comedy show there, and
Speaker 3: it's I love that neighborhood.
Speaker 4: It's really cool, magical, it's so magical. I mean that
Speaker 4: experience too, that was always really fantastic. We were there
Speaker 4: and like in that area at another spot, just in
Speaker 4: the backyard of like a little store and that too,
Speaker 4: but we were kind of under the freeway. It was
Speaker 4: not nearly as sexy, but it was still so something
Speaker 4: very magical about Like we started that show in the
Speaker 4: Inner Sanctum at the UCB Sunset, and like, I think
Speaker 4: it wasn't that that wasn't good. There was just something
Speaker 4: about it where we really wanted to get to a neighborhood,
Speaker 4: like to the people, and that's immediately what happened was
Speaker 4: that show is always like kind of a banger because
Speaker 4: it was people were realized they like could walk out
Speaker 4: of there. People sure, yeah, it's so good like that neighborhood. Actually,
Speaker 4: now I think people kind of ship in for that show,
Speaker 4: But the way that it built up was really just
Speaker 4: people like I can I can go walk out of
Speaker 4: my house and having to have dinner and then go
Speaker 4: over here and have an experience. It was so cute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was thinking of this is not
Speaker 3: related to live performance, but I did have this very
Speaker 3: strong fantasy because right before the quarantine started, Bridger Wineger
Speaker 3: and I went to there's a pizza place in Atwater
Speaker 3: that was kind of newer. I think it's a thing.
Speaker 3: It's called like Diane's or something, and it like inside
Speaker 3: it looks very seventies. Inside it's very San Francisco in
Speaker 3: the seventies or was like it just reminded me of
Speaker 3: just a certain vibe. And we went there on a
Speaker 3: night where it was packed, and I remember and we
Speaker 3: were like just got this table and kind of got
Speaker 3: in and there was tons of people, and that would
Speaker 3: be my like mid quarantine fantasy where I'd be like,
Speaker 3: what if I was that that pizza place just like that?
Speaker 2: And it was not.
Speaker 3: I mean, the food is great, everything's great, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't that. It was being in a lot a restaurant
Speaker 3: where people were it was so packed, it was loud,
Speaker 3: and it was casual because it was like pizza. Like
Speaker 3: the whole experience where I was fantasizing about shit that
Speaker 3: I took so for granted beforehand. And I think there's
Speaker 3: that piece too. People are coming not just enjoying themselves,
Speaker 3: but I think having that kind of like, oh this
Speaker 3: isn't We could lose all of this at any point,
Speaker 3: And people, even the most superficial, even the most beautiful people,
Speaker 3: are probably having even slight realizations about that, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like, yeah, yeah, we didn't know it
Speaker 3: could be taken away.
Speaker 5: That's unprecedented. Even beautiful people are so lonely they're talking
Speaker 5: to it. Inanimate objects gets an even.
Speaker 3: Playing field rualizer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to, we have to. I guess we
Speaker 1: all have something against beautiful people.
Speaker 3: But they are like, oh my god, I can't fuck
Speaker 3: the curve for the rest of the Yeah, and I can't.
Speaker 5: I will never again yell. Can everyone be quiet in here?
Speaker 5: I'm trying to eat pizza.
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited for like the sound of.
Speaker 3: People socializing, you know, the sound of like you know,
Speaker 3: and of course there's a comic in me who needs
Speaker 3: the attention. Is like, I want to be up above
Speaker 3: those people making them listen to me. Yeah, but I
Speaker 3: also I also do really like being in those people
Speaker 3: want is good too. I want to go to concerts.
Speaker 5: For I took it for granted ever since Austin, where
Speaker 5: they shove live music down your throat. It's like such
Speaker 5: a big and I loved it, and I but here,
Speaker 5: I never did go to live shows or I did
Speaker 5: occasionally here in Echo Park since I moved here.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to go to I'm going to go
Speaker 1: to live music every week. I really am. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to be excited.
Speaker 5: When I'm in a restaurant and I'm trying to take
Speaker 5: a bite and someone bumps my elbow, I'm.
Speaker 3: Guess all the thank you.
Speaker 1: I can't wait elbow ow you stepped on my foot.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be happy to never be good at dismounting
Speaker 4: from a conversation as I was before, I'll still be
Speaker 4: bad at it, but I'll love it.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, everyone will be bad, you know, which is
Speaker 3: I think has always been true. I love the idea
Speaker 3: of social anxiety, which we all have and whatever various
Speaker 3: insecurities that we all have. But now, truly I feel like,
Speaker 3: like during quarantine, I would regret think about all the
Speaker 3: parties I would blow off, and the reasons I would
Speaker 3: blow them off is like I don't have a good shirt,
Speaker 3: don't feel this, feel bad.
Speaker 1: About that your camera?
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, I don't have enough eyeliner on. But now
Speaker 3: I have that thing where it's just like everyone gained
Speaker 3: weight in quarantine. Everyone's desperate, everyone wants to socialize, like
Speaker 3: there is a there's a great evening of all of
Speaker 3: this and yes, you know whatever that evening of the
Speaker 3: playing field. Yes not nighttime. Yeah I'm saying yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: I mean where it's like we all have social anxiety. Now,
Speaker 3: even if you're the most confident, tall, beautiful person in
Speaker 3: the world, you're fucked up. You don't know how to
Speaker 3: make small talk anymore.
Speaker 5: God, I love that we all realize, yeah, we can
Speaker 5: feel uh you know, sorry for these beautiful people finally I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to walk up beautiful people.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk up and say I pity you, pity you, sir.
Speaker 3: Here's my phone number. Call me everything. It's a way
Speaker 3: to right. You get super condescending of like, I know
Speaker 3: this is harder for you. Call me anytime.
Speaker 4: Yes, we're used to being a crystal. You were always
Speaker 4: a butterflies, so yeah, but that hurt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, give me a call because I'm in my pupa
Speaker 5: stage and they'd be like, it's been too long.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: I was in the beginning like I same thing where
Speaker 4: like one of the first films I made in school
Speaker 4: was like from a stand up joke I had about
Speaker 4: my social anxiety. So it's a film about a woman
Speaker 4: who hates parties. I used to be like, this's my
Speaker 4: little load of people who hate parties. Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: I never really like put it out anywhere, and then
Speaker 4: it was quarantine. I was like, God, remember when I
Speaker 4: made that movie about people who hate parties? That will
Speaker 4: never be relevant again. I guess I want to sit
Speaker 4: on that. And my friend Ali, who was in it,
Speaker 4: was like, but just put it out as historic fiction. Yes,
Speaker 4: remember when you could hate parties.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's anachronistic. Now it says, oh yes the time before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to even have a party. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: have my two year late housewarming.
Speaker 3: Yes, do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all pack in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Do you think we can get it my place?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean yeah, I'm thinking five people for
Speaker 1: room per room. I got like basically.
Speaker 5: Five rooms might be weird for people to just hang
Speaker 5: out in my bedroom. But yeah, fifteen twenty How about
Speaker 5: that bathroom? I can do fifteen twenty one person and
Speaker 5: they one has four one has to be against the.
Speaker 1: Sink, the other one has to be literally sitting on
Speaker 1: the toilet.
Speaker 5: Oh, there's the shower. Okay, yes, I could have twenty
Speaker 5: three people over here.
Speaker 3: Yes, and then like every fifteen minutes, you there's a
Speaker 3: buzzer and you yell, rotate, and then kind of like
Speaker 3: a volleyball game, but in your house, everyone.
Speaker 5: Moves room and everyone leaves freshly showered. Because we all
Speaker 5: forgot how to do that. Everyone takes a shower. I
Speaker 5: have towels for everyone. You start in the kitchen, I'll
Speaker 5: have food there. Everyone asks to watch their favorite program.
Speaker 5: Everyone asked to go in the bathroom and watch.
Speaker 1: Their stank ass.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be great.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll think of a title for my party. Karen,
Speaker 5: you have the you have the vaccination party, the vaccination
Speaker 5: card party. And I'm sorry, but I've designated Emily to
Speaker 5: have the swim party where.
Speaker 1: We get it play. Uh yeah, there's a net and everything.
Speaker 1: It's so fun. I mean, that's the last time.
Speaker 5: Yes, and I get to push people into the pool
Speaker 5: when they don't know it's going to happen. That's so
Speaker 5: fun because they're in shorts and they want.
Speaker 1: To be mad.
Speaker 4: You can just do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't. They're in shorts because.
Speaker 4: We got to get in there. I got to get
Speaker 4: in there. I spent like because of the way that
Speaker 4: the last year went down. I swear to you, I've
Speaker 4: been staring at that pool the same way anybody who
Speaker 4: doesn't live here. Really. Yeah, I mean I've been in
Speaker 4: there like in the hot tub once or twice, but
Speaker 4: like I had just been so so slammed that like
Speaker 4: this week, I genuinely I've been dreaming about like how
Speaker 4: how do I how do I do it? Right? Do
Speaker 4: I put on roller skates in a kimono and like
Speaker 4: swan dive into the like I just really want to enter.
Speaker 3: Do you have?
Speaker 1: Yes, you're saying all this aside, you should start roller skating.
Speaker 4: Yes, I haven't done that either. I got them amid
Speaker 4: pandemic and couldn't even get out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so did my friends sooner she got like brand
Speaker 5: new roller skates, and she said she hasn't even used him.
Speaker 1: It's like, you gotta skate.
Speaker 3: Rollers Instagram Instagram and act like you did.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say this if you got roller blades. I'm
Speaker 5: a bit of a wheel snob.
Speaker 4: Well, I used to roller blade, and I used to
Speaker 4: go to wait, are do you what? What do you prefer?
Speaker 4: What's your snumber?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some trucks, little skateboard trucks on there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four wheels, four wheels down.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Christian has told me many times. He's like, it's surprisingly
Speaker 4: easy make roller skates. I did it when I was
Speaker 4: a kid.
Speaker 1: What, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just saw a little tutory. I mean, as
Speaker 5: far as you have to buy the actual hardware, but
Speaker 5: you can put them on any you want. Cowboy boot
Speaker 5: roller skates that are legitimate and aren't gonna feel janky.
Speaker 1: You can do that.
Speaker 5: You can have any footwear and turn it into a
Speaker 5: roller skate. That's an exciting thing to look forward to
Speaker 5: in the future.
Speaker 3: You like sketter shape, but that's a firm note.
Speaker 1: All of this is carrot.
Speaker 5: I was scared when I start skating again. I got
Speaker 5: padded shorts for my hip and I have a big
Speaker 5: square padded ass.
Speaker 1: But it made me comfortable. You just get or put
Speaker 1: Sharman back there, like I.
Speaker 3: Mean, I like, I like a roller rink roller skating
Speaker 3: situation for sure, but I don't skit street roller skating
Speaker 3: to me seems like a bad idea. You're going to
Speaker 3: get hip by a car or something like you're going
Speaker 3: to hit a patch where there's weird gravel on the street.
Speaker 3: It all seems like a recipe for falling down, which
Speaker 3: I think I'm just a tad too old to be risking.
Speaker 3: But at the roller rink it's a different thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 4: Back in the I do, I feel like it was
Speaker 4: like the most eighties memory I have as my parents
Speaker 4: and all their friends, like right when they were about
Speaker 4: to hit forties, so they were all like late thirties,
Speaker 4: early forties something like that. They had all gone to
Speaker 4: Golden Gate Park and rented roller skates and gone roller skating,
Speaker 4: and they were probably drinking. I don't know, but I
Speaker 4: just remember they all came back with broken bones.
Speaker 1: Yees yeah, wrists, broken wrists.
Speaker 4: There's like a split chin, broken wrist, because that's.
Speaker 1: The whole thing in the park there.
Speaker 5: They kind of like in Venice Beach, where you'll just
Speaker 5: there's disco and these unlikely characters that are really like
Speaker 5: figure skatingly good at roller skating.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And I remember when I was a kid going in
Speaker 5: Golden Gate Park and seeing that. It was like a
Speaker 5: scene and still it sang.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I love that that exists.
Speaker 5: And I don't know where else do they have a
Speaker 5: scene like that in Paris or whatever, But they had
Speaker 5: one in Venice Beach and I and I think it's
Speaker 5: mimicking the one in San Francisco that stood out so
Speaker 5: much to me when I was a kid seeing everyone
Speaker 5: roller skate. I'm like, there's grown ups spinning and twirling
Speaker 5: and doing pirouettes and stuff.
Speaker 1: It was so dammy. Yeah, yeah, it's like dance skating
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Sundays when I was a kid, because we weren't. My
Speaker 4: parents were super happy. He's like we weren't. We didn't
Speaker 4: have any candy or anything, chocolate nothing.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, all carib Yeah, I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I'm with you there.
Speaker 4: My first soda was like I was like in fourth
Speaker 4: grade on the Green River, I got a diet caffeine
Speaker 4: free coke. I was like, what I mean in retrospect, like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck is that for?
Speaker 1: Who is that for?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Who even?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 3: A really really amped up lady that's on a diet
Speaker 3: it She's like, I can't take it.
Speaker 1: Weeks ago to.
Speaker 4: So, there was one fast food restaurant in the city
Speaker 4: of San Francisco growing up. It was McDonald's on Hate
Speaker 4: Street and Stanion. Yes, yes, lots of that, And the
Speaker 4: only time we ever got to have it is if
Speaker 4: we did from my house, which was in like the
Speaker 4: outer Richmond kind of up by the Cliff House almost.
Speaker 4: We would ride bikes. When they shut down Golden Gate Park,
Speaker 4: we ride bikes Children's playground and get McDonald's. So that
Speaker 4: those Sundays, even though we rode like I want to say,
Speaker 4: six miles round trip and the rest of getting home
Speaker 4: was all up like ninety degree Hills Best Memories of
Speaker 4: my life McDonald's roller Skaters, Like it was like these
Speaker 4: insane slides of children's playground that were just straight up
Speaker 4: and this cardboard dborne to go down concrete and it
Speaker 4: was a dream. I mean, yes, it lost teeth.
Speaker 3: It was great. I want seventies.
Speaker 5: I want to skate in San Francisco. Now, you just
Speaker 5: made me so excited the seventies in.
Speaker 3: San Francisco too. I think I was watching the Harvey
Speaker 3: Milk documentary and there was you know, they show like
Speaker 3: when they were trying to go out and be like,
Speaker 3: what are you doing. We cannot let these lunatics pass
Speaker 3: these laws about like you know, there can't be gay
Speaker 3: teachers and all that crazy shit they were trying to do.
Speaker 3: And of course it's a very moving it's a beautiful documentary.
Speaker 3: It's a very important documentary. But as I watched it,
Speaker 3: I was just like it was blowing my mind. I'm like,
Speaker 3: these are all my childhood memories because it's like everything
Speaker 3: was orange and brown and yellow, and in San Francisco
Speaker 3: there was just like these these looks that of like,
Speaker 3: you know, it's just so specific, like Nineteenth Avenue and
Speaker 3: that gap, you know, like all those like me.
Speaker 4: It was that that war plane that was that was
Speaker 4: a part. Yes, I actually lost a tooth on that
Speaker 4: and my brother broke a bone.
Speaker 3: I think, yes, everyone did. It was super sharp and
Speaker 3: like open like a there was rusty like exposed metal,
Speaker 3: unfinished metal, and you had to get in that plane
Speaker 3: like it was. It was a jungle.
Speaker 4: It was just it was just like a bomber with
Speaker 4: like concrete port inside of it. And they're like there
Speaker 4: you go. And there was maybe yeah, not even always
Speaker 4: sand underath like I think the sand came later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just be just a cement.
Speaker 4: It was just just grass or whatever. And then they're like,
Speaker 4: I guess we should make this like more absorbent because
Speaker 4: they are all falling off of this constantly.
Speaker 3: It was a war plane for children to play on
Speaker 3: like that. Literally, it wasn't a concept thing someone made
Speaker 3: for children plan It was a retired warping.
Speaker 1: Inside of it. Many many servicemen had died on Yes.
Speaker 4: So crazy, so insane. My dad used to make woodburn
Speaker 4: signs back in those early days, like when he was
Speaker 4: between jobs before career kind of. He used to make
Speaker 4: those signs, and I remember my my nursery school. He
Speaker 4: used my hands for Lone Mountain Nursery school, Like it's
Speaker 4: so such a specific, like San Francisco. Also like Sunset Cycles.
Speaker 4: I think he did, just like these little stores with
Speaker 4: those little word burned stars signs and you said.
Speaker 1: Heat up your hands and make you touch the wood.
Speaker 4: Yes, nobody used my outline, and then became a shirt.
Speaker 4: And the shirt was also very similar like Sunset with
Speaker 4: mount colds and orange and.
Speaker 1: Those are my hands, yes exactly, you know what they said?
Speaker 4: What do you think the kids said, Uh, it's.
Speaker 3: No, they aren't exactly if you're lying there.
Speaker 1: They met, and then you realize you group it was
Speaker 1: five years later.
Speaker 4: Yeah, shit, you're describing an experience berbadim or. And then
Speaker 4: when it was printed on the shirt, they're like, they
Speaker 4: don't those are smaller than your hands, you know, like
Speaker 4: they couldn't conceive Yeah, because my hand size was not
Speaker 4: the same size as the shirt prim.
Speaker 3: And then you were like, let me stop you for
Speaker 3: a second. Why would this be a brag? What? Why
Speaker 3: would this what kind of lie? Who would make up
Speaker 3: a line this specific?
Speaker 1: Go with me, it's plain.
Speaker 5: Last night I did a show for my hometown. There
Speaker 5: was like it was a Missoula Gibbs thing. It was
Speaker 5: a fundraiser show and it was a zoom show, but
Speaker 5: it was really fun. And then I noticed because I said,
Speaker 5: there have to be there has to be people laughing
Speaker 5: in the room. And I recognized all the laughs as
Speaker 5: childhood friends of mine, so it was a nice surprise.
Speaker 5: I'm like, that's Andy Chemis, that's Aaron Huffman. I knew
Speaker 5: her laugh and whatever. But afterwards they all called me
Speaker 5: and we were talking about that same thing, like our
Speaker 5: our When I went home and everyone's like, get out
Speaker 5: of here because I had California plates, I was yelling,
Speaker 5: I'm a Paxson panther.
Speaker 1: I went to Paxton element just to get.
Speaker 5: People from killing me because I thought I was bringing
Speaker 5: COVID there and she was like, remember how you designed
Speaker 5: the T shirt for uh.
Speaker 1: There was a little contest and I forgot about it.
Speaker 5: But the logo at the school was something I drew
Speaker 5: when I was a little grain or something.
Speaker 1: It was a pick.
Speaker 5: We had to come up with the mascot, and I
Speaker 5: think I won. It was the Packson Elementary School and
Speaker 5: we didn't have a mascot. I'm like, what about panthers.
Speaker 5: Here's a cat and then it was like on a
Speaker 5: T shirt. So it was the same thing. If I
Speaker 5: I forgot that I did that. But if I saw
Speaker 5: someone like I drew that panther shut up, a kid
Speaker 5: drew it, I was the kid. I'm just not a
Speaker 5: kid anymore.
Speaker 3: Let the kids have their glory, yeah, as adults later
Speaker 3: in life. Let me when they need it. I took
Speaker 3: it for granted when I was before before. I don't
Speaker 3: want to end this podcast without you guys talking about
Speaker 3: your movie that you made, because I don't know if
Speaker 3: I told you, if I told you this personally, but
Speaker 3: when I watched this, will you say it? What was
Speaker 3: it called? Again?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: There Emily was in uh green Boy the drag Net one,
Speaker 5: which you were so good as the old timey working girl.
Speaker 5: Ay oh, isn't it interesting when you come along when
Speaker 5: you need something or whatever you did that you do
Speaker 5: it better?
Speaker 1: Sorry, but the big one. Yeah, we did that. Freeway
Speaker 1: to free way to help.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so freeway to Hell's what I was talking about.
Speaker 3: And when I saw it, I didn't recognize you. Your
Speaker 3: acting was so good. Yeah, for real, I was blown
Speaker 3: away because I was like, who's this girl? I knew
Speaker 3: everyone else in it, and who's this girl? And I
Speaker 3: didn't because you were doing that fifties, you were doing
Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff. And finally I went, that's fucking Emily.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It blew my mind. Yeah, you're getting really good in that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 5: I remember watching it just assuming, well, it's kind of
Speaker 5: my thing. I had small shine, and you were fucking
Speaker 5: so good that. Oh my god, I felt dumb in
Speaker 5: the scenes. I'm like, well, I'm just being myself. Emily
Speaker 5: is actually an actor.
Speaker 4: You know what's funny about that is that I I
Speaker 4: studied the movie and the era because I didn't know
Speaker 4: what we were doing. So let me try to I
Speaker 4: think that that's what we're doing. Let me capture the
Speaker 4: essence of that.
Speaker 1: Sure, No, you were right to do that. That's also
Speaker 1: a reason you're a real actor. Yeah, I had no reason.
Speaker 3: You nailed it. You really nailed it.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: It's just I love when you. I feel like these days,
Speaker 3: well or oft times, are people that we know, or
Speaker 3: when you know people who are actors, it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's people being themselves, or it's like I'm so confident
Speaker 3: and natural that I'm just going to be myself and
Speaker 3: in this situation. So when and when people don't do
Speaker 3: that and they're like, I'm going to be a character
Speaker 3: and have this outfit in this hairstyle, then you're like,
Speaker 3: oh no, because it's like like ham cornball over the top.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're putting yourself out there.
Speaker 3: Ma.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But in that, yeah, in that, you had the hair,
Speaker 3: you had the thing, and then there was this character
Speaker 3: where it was just like who they cast, Like they
Speaker 3: got this girl. It took me forever to recognize you.
Speaker 1: It was just cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels really good.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: That's just what I feel like everyone else to watch
Speaker 5: Freeway to Hell and watch Emily and.
Speaker 4: Is so so funny.
Speaker 1: It's so funny.
Speaker 4: I'm actually really think that I did watch it and
Speaker 4: think like, you absolutely shine because you, guys, you this
Speaker 4: medium for you is so such a perfect framing a
Speaker 4: box pedestal or what you know, framing device for a
Speaker 4: mantle for you and what you do, it's just incredible.
Speaker 5: It would be fun to do it episodically and maybe
Speaker 5: one day we will, who knows, but yeah, it's it
Speaker 5: is really fun to I don't.
Speaker 4: Know why we didn't run right back to it. And
Speaker 4: green screen last year would have been a.
Speaker 3: Safe Yeah, that was.
Speaker 5: It was like, now's a perfect time to pitch this
Speaker 5: as a show because it's literally people.
Speaker 1: In front of a green sheet in the room.
Speaker 5: So well done, but if you watch the process it's
Speaker 5: I mean, what we did was in that studio and stuff,
Speaker 5: but the other ones were just in in my cup
Speaker 5: Church's living room, and I was like, really, this will
Speaker 5: he's They're just a thing covered with green felt and
Speaker 5: a curtain behind me. But he's so good with the
Speaker 5: after effects as tell it. Yeah, it requires one person
Speaker 5: in a room.
Speaker 4: My mom talked about that a lot. I don't know
Speaker 4: if I told you that, she just wouldn't. I mean,
Speaker 4: she saw that and it blew her mind and then
Speaker 4: it was cool.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: She was just like And then when COVID came around,
Speaker 4: and I was trying to figure out what to do
Speaker 4: about my thesis because I had developed this thesis that
Speaker 4: I was going to shoot as a muscle car road
Speaker 4: comedy and COVID came, I couldn't get there was no
Speaker 4: I had a guy in New Mexico ready to trail
Speaker 4: out like three cars and do stunts and drive and everything,
Speaker 4: and so that was how far we were. We were
Speaker 4: like going to shoot late May last year.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 4: Then in order to get out of school to figure
Speaker 4: out what I was going to do instead, because you
Speaker 4: need like a final project, and kind of got lucky
Speaker 4: in some ways with this thing that I pitched and
Speaker 4: want a budget at the school and then did this
Speaker 4: virtual thing that we did differently. But there was a
Speaker 4: moment of like trying to figure out what I was
Speaker 4: going to do with that, and my mom was like,
Speaker 4: what about your friend friend does all the greens like
Speaker 4: she's just like, oh my gosh, she is.
Speaker 1: A great.
Speaker 5: I love getting the approval of other people's parents when
Speaker 5: I did when I was young.
Speaker 1: I'll take it now. That's great for real.
Speaker 3: There is something about winning, winning over a different generation,
Speaker 3: like people who aren't immediately like hip or whatever, and
Speaker 3: they and they like it and it's big and that's
Speaker 3: that's the ultimate compliment.
Speaker 1: Oh I want I want elderly people to like me.
Speaker 1: I will always want that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can connect.
