Speaker 1: Are you leaving? I you wanna way back home? Either way,
Speaker 1: we want to be there. Doesn't matter how much baggage
Speaker 1: you claim and give us time and a terminol and gay.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off in style.
Speaker 1: We wanna welcome you back home. Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3: We scared her? Was it fine?
Speaker 1: Malborn? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Do your need to ride?
Speaker 4: To ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need.
Speaker 5: With Karen and Chris welcome to Do you need a ride?
Speaker 5: This is Chris Fairbanks and.
Speaker 3: This is Karen Kilgaroth.
Speaker 2: Karen, I saw that you did Largo recently.
Speaker 3: Yes, thanks for asking.
Speaker 5: I and all the listeners would like to know how
Speaker 5: your first time back on stage and quite a.
Speaker 3: While went well.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: It was a live podcast, so I was not getting.
Speaker 1: Stand up comedy.
Speaker 5: I thought, that's okay. I'm not disappointed except for your voice. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's too late. I did the ex sale. I wanted
Speaker 5: you to have done a whole twenty minutes a new
Speaker 5: one liners.
Speaker 4: It's okay.
Speaker 1: God, I wish with the and we can blame Elon.
Speaker 1: Musk's absolutely just destroying Twitter. I don't have material anymore
Speaker 1: because I don't write jokes as a fun.
Speaker 5: Practice anymore either me either. It's I do talk into
Speaker 5: my phone, into my notes. That's my new Twitter. But
Speaker 5: you don't get the feedback.
Speaker 2: So how do I know?
Speaker 3: You know what we could do?
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of serious about this because also our
Speaker 1: friend Zach Mary Towers is a person who I'm going
Speaker 1: to go to a show that he's going to do
Speaker 1: later this week, and he was like, and if you're
Speaker 1: interested in stage time, I can get you on this show.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what I haves minus ten minutes?
Speaker 1: I not only don't have ten minutes, I haven't been
Speaker 1: on stage in so.
Speaker 2: Long, but what about doing old bits.
Speaker 1: The last time I did a set like it's was
Speaker 1: four years ago. It was truly terrible. I didn't care
Speaker 1: about anything that's saying because it was just like a
Speaker 1: string of tweets. Yeah, there was just kind of no
Speaker 1: personal anything behind it.
Speaker 3: Shit, did you see that pop hoole?
Speaker 2: No, it's amazing what the rain does to the roads here.
Speaker 1: It looks like a pop pond, the pop pool. It
Speaker 1: was gigantic, but anyway, it was ghosted by Roz Hernandez's
Speaker 1: live podcast. I did it with Chris Fleming, who is
Speaker 1: the funniest.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was thinking from the photo he should be on
Speaker 5: the podcast. He makes me laugh all the time I
Speaker 5: thought he was on the podcast, other than the time
Speaker 5: he was on.
Speaker 3: But you know what it was, It was a zoom version.
Speaker 4: He should be with us.
Speaker 1: Yes, he is such an in person vibe process like
Speaker 1: so fun Yeah, and he's so funny and it was
Speaker 1: such a delight. But I will say this, I had
Speaker 1: two funny experiences as I was sitting there. At one
Speaker 1: point I realized I was just watching like I was
Speaker 1: watching TV. I had felt no compulsion to be funny
Speaker 1: at all or participate. And then I was like reminding myself, like,
Speaker 1: you're in this show. You're not watching this show right.
Speaker 1: A and B was I was having that experience where
Speaker 1: I would say something funny and it sounded like the
Speaker 1: audience didn't like not only was it like silent, they.
Speaker 3: Didn't like what I was saying.
Speaker 2: Oh and really, yes, that that surprises me.
Speaker 1: Well, but I don't think that's actually what was happening.
Speaker 1: I think that's that thing that comedians due to themselves
Speaker 1: on stage, where they are starting to interpret the sights
Speaker 1: and sounds around them incorrectly to feed the narrative. Right,
Speaker 1: I can't do this anymore. Oh they don't like like
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Where whoever? The first person who
Speaker 1: I talked to you after, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you killed that was amazing, and I was like, what
Speaker 1: I thought?
Speaker 3: That was like an abject failure.
Speaker 5: I compare everything if it's a hey, here's a homework
Speaker 5: show or a live game show or any of those
Speaker 5: non just stand up gigs. I'm so used to and
Speaker 5: depend on laughs per minute with my stand up Yep,
Speaker 5: I take it personally. When it's just an audience listening
Speaker 5: to a conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard. It's harder.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, if we were doing that's on stage right now,
Speaker 5: they're so far and I'm not knocking us at all,
Speaker 5: there would have been zero left so far.
Speaker 2: We're just building up.
Speaker 4: This is true.
Speaker 2: We haven't I haven't. We haven't.
Speaker 5: I am you haven't said anything. I haven't said anything.
Speaker 5: Funny is what I meant to say.
Speaker 1: But here's here's the fun cute part. Yes one, I
Speaker 1: went with Bridger and because it's hard to go to
Speaker 1: shows by.
Speaker 3: Yourself and be like, oh I'm here.
Speaker 1: So I made Bridger go with me, and when we
Speaker 1: went out to my car, somebody had stuck a gift
Speaker 1: certificate unfortunately for Starbucks, which we're trying not to go
Speaker 1: to anymore, right.
Speaker 3: But they went and stuck it on my car. It's like, Chris,
Speaker 3: here's for Chris and Carrot.
Speaker 2: How they know your car?
Speaker 1: Well, because we fucking talk about it on this podcast.
Speaker 1: But it didn't. I swear to god. It didn't scare
Speaker 1: me or make me go. Oh no, it made me go,
Speaker 1: you guy, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's the vibe to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, for sure.
Speaker 5: It's amazing. They probably had no idea. They're like, well,
Speaker 5: it was it in the alley.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh, I'm sure they've gone to Largo before and
Speaker 1: they know that's gotcha.
Speaker 5: Okay, that makes sense, it seems to me, because hey,
Speaker 5: it's a tesla, it's probably ours.
Speaker 2: Here's twenty five dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, there's so many teslas in this town that they
Speaker 1: were rolling the dice for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But they probably saw my terrible park job and they're like,
Speaker 1: there she is.
Speaker 2: No, no, you're behind the wheel. You are quite adept.
Speaker 3: Thanks grit, Yeah, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm great?
Speaker 5: I Uh, someone did call me a mouth breather today,
Speaker 5: but I think it was just a.
Speaker 1: General Why were you being incredibly sexist and racist or
Speaker 1: something exactly?
Speaker 2: That's what I think too.
Speaker 5: You hear the phrase mouth breather and you think someone
Speaker 5: that's like aggressive or a big.
Speaker 2: Dumb guy with like a bowl cut that you know,
Speaker 2: it's a dumb ass, But it I think it was
Speaker 2: because I was.
Speaker 5: Standing there with my mouth open and I realized I do,
Speaker 5: indeed technically breathe.
Speaker 2: Through my mouth, and I snore.
Speaker 5: Who was this person just to passer by someone to
Speaker 5: try their window was down. I was standing on a
Speaker 5: corner waiting to cross to go get some coffee, and
Speaker 5: they thought that there's a guy with his mouth open.
Speaker 5: I've been waiting to fire off this bit. They don't
Speaker 5: ever have stage time. This person in the car They
Speaker 5: called me a mouth breathing and I'm like, what is
Speaker 5: the connection? Why did we say, Hey, someone's a big, tough,
Speaker 5: mean looking person. Why are they breathing through their mouth?
Speaker 5: And I looked it up and it is mouth breathing
Speaker 5: has like seven symptoms, you know, dry mouth, bad to ingrovitis,
Speaker 5: all these things. And then at the bottom it said
Speaker 5: reduce cognitive ability. Really, yeah, snoring according to this Google
Speaker 5: and the sleeps or website, which seems reputable.
Speaker 3: He's got sources.
Speaker 5: People, if you're a snorer, you you developed incorrectly. That's
Speaker 5: what this sleep study is saying. Now, I'm not saying
Speaker 5: you don't know stuff. You don't have street smarts, street
Speaker 5: smarts or mars. You don't leave mark I'm out there
Speaker 5: doing graffiti, leaving street marks.
Speaker 2: That takes brain power.
Speaker 5: God, damn my own brain mouth andase, yeah, I uh yeah,
Speaker 5: I just didn't know there is that connection.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just thought it was an insult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. It's it's quite technical. It was started
Speaker 2: by a doctor.
Speaker 3: So do you think a doctor did a drive by
Speaker 3: insult on you?
Speaker 2: I think it was doctor Drew. Oh that he said
Speaker 2: I need to lift more weights too.
Speaker 1: Damn it.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 1: He said, this relationship is not healthy. Stop dating your
Speaker 1: junior high history teacher.
Speaker 2: That's the doctor Drew we all liked.
Speaker 5: Now he's just like, do you want to know how
Speaker 5: to get rid of corners? All?
Speaker 2: It isn't from salads? And he's lifting weights while saying it.
Speaker 2: I got this video today.
Speaker 5: He's lifting weights telling people how if you're above forty,
Speaker 5: you need to stop being without muscles, and you don't
Speaker 5: know anything. Dieting and salads are not the answer. And
Speaker 5: then it's some link to make money. Yeah, although you know,
Speaker 5: if he's listening.
Speaker 2: You look great.
Speaker 3: Don't kiss his assay.
Speaker 2: No, he's just as surprising as JK. Simmons without a
Speaker 2: shirt on.
Speaker 5: And yes, I googled it. It's just you know, a
Speaker 5: lot of a lot of time in the gym.
Speaker 3: Well, he made a lot of.
Speaker 1: Sweet, sweet money.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has a gym right outside his bedroom door,
Speaker 1: of course. And he's got the free time. He's got
Speaker 1: the privilege and the luxury of being a war guy
Speaker 1: and bossing other people around.
Speaker 3: He's got the ego of a doctor. I know everything.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how to do stuff. Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I am listening.
Speaker 1: And I am listening. But here's the thing. Ryan Seacrest
Speaker 1: never tells me what to do, except for go to
Speaker 1: Marongo casino.
Speaker 2: Oh does he do ads?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow on podcasts?
Speaker 2: Really? Oh that's one of its sponsors that keeps him
Speaker 2: from drinking. No, uh, wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 5: It's a beautiful rainy day. I thought a nice segment
Speaker 5: would be, let's swap Karen. Okay, our most memorable rain
Speaker 5: based stories.
Speaker 2: Okay, is this a bad segment? No?
Speaker 3: I think it's really good rain based Well, I'm.
Speaker 2: Talking about the rain. That's what they can't. We can.
Speaker 3: And also the words were wrong.
Speaker 2: Well it's talking about.
Speaker 3: Oh I get it.
Speaker 1: You change them.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, so we can keep it in because it's
Speaker 3: a spoof.
Speaker 2: Right, it sat tired and I changed the genre.
Speaker 3: Jim cleared it from pop to folk.
Speaker 2: As long as you change the genre.
Speaker 3: It was folk. When you're just saying it, yeah, the rain,
Speaker 3: don't do it again?
Speaker 2: Oh damn it?
Speaker 4: Twice now?
Speaker 2: Two lawsuits, one episode?
Speaker 1: Can we get around this? Sir? Just let me buy
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. That's how we work together, Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: They did it. Thank you. I appreciate it. What's that car?
Speaker 1: A Kia right up ahead, the.
Speaker 3: One that let me over?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Kias are friendly.
Speaker 1: Drivers, Sea soul, really down to earth people. Here's my
Speaker 1: rain story. I got into three different car accidents when
Speaker 1: I was living in sacrament know, going quote unquote going
Speaker 1: to college, but actually flunking out of college.
Speaker 2: Are you boozing.
Speaker 1: No, every single time it was because I was driving
Speaker 1: too fast in the rain.
Speaker 5: You've become such a good driver, though, that's the second time.
Speaker 5: Now it seems like I'm kissing your ass doctor Drew style.
Speaker 1: It seems like you're drowing me, and I will not
Speaker 1: click your look.
Speaker 2: You're a good driver. I've said it before.
Speaker 1: But I am always like, because you know, when it
Speaker 1: does the first time it rains, especially in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: people immediately like, be careful, this is where all the
Speaker 1: oils come up, and the roads are more slick and whatever.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that all three accidents, it was
Speaker 1: me zipping along in some shitty old car that my
Speaker 1: dad let us take to college, and suddenly I'm like, uh, oh,
Speaker 1: hit the brakes and just slide into the back of
Speaker 1: the car in front of me. Oh every time, So
Speaker 1: that's I guess. How's that for a rain story?
Speaker 2: It's great, okay?
Speaker 1: And I is it segment worthy?
Speaker 2: It is okay. I don't know if the song was,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 5: Heard that when I moved to Texas, be careful when
Speaker 5: it rains here. There's oil on the road, I guess
Speaker 5: because it gets so hot that it seeps up from
Speaker 5: the melting, because the road would melt there, it would
Speaker 5: bubble wow, and you'd walk across on flip flops and
Speaker 5: they'd stick ooh, and then you'd burn your feet it is.
Speaker 3: And then a scorpion goes in your boot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a whole series of events, and it happens
Speaker 2: every time, and it's true.
Speaker 5: When I moved, I bought a rear wheel drive like
Speaker 5: Mustang because I thought that was a Texasy car.
Speaker 2: And it was a lot of Mustangs did it.
Speaker 5: And I moved from Montana and then I just every
Speaker 5: time it rained, it was like driving on ice shit and.
Speaker 2: Cars would fly off the road.
Speaker 5: So I saw so many terrible rags and I didn't
Speaker 5: I never understood it because actually, when it rains here,
Speaker 5: it's not as slippery because the road melts a little less.
Speaker 1: I think it's less melty and more well. And also
Speaker 1: I think the especially lately, Oh look at that. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a real truck. Yeah.
Speaker 5: That bus thought I could throw its weight around. But
Speaker 5: no one cares about the bus. No, sorry, sorry, bus
Speaker 5: people are gonna have to wait to see the stars homes.
Speaker 5: I also thought the oil when I first moved there,
Speaker 5: just because I've only watched movies about Texas, which are
Speaker 5: just oil men with oil raining down on them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought about.
Speaker 5: Actual oil coming down, being drilled and drizzling down, and
Speaker 5: that's why I was on the roads.
Speaker 2: Oh I could there there could be some truth to that.
Speaker 1: Were you just as straight up Montana Rube.
Speaker 5: There's a lot I didn't know, coming from the isolated
Speaker 5: fourth largest state in the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have all.
Speaker 5: Of our civics teachers are teach wrestling. I didn't a
Speaker 5: lot about the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think everyone can kind of
Speaker 1: say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a lot of gym teachers teach history and government.
Speaker 5: They do and wear the same bike shorts bike brand,
Speaker 5: not bicycle. Those those polyester gym teacher shorts with the
Speaker 5: strap up top and they say bike.
Speaker 1: Oh, and they're kind of like to stand and watch
Speaker 1: boys practice football.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yeah, and watch them shower at least in
Speaker 5: my school.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, you had to shower. If you didn't,
Speaker 2: you got a check mark every day.
Speaker 5: You had to have a towel. You had to write
Speaker 5: your name on a shirt. I asked recently, it's still
Speaker 5: a rule. No, you have to have your name on
Speaker 5: your shirt. And you have to shower otherwise you fail.
Speaker 1: And then they and they let a teacher stand there
Speaker 1: and watch boys shower.
Speaker 5: They enforce it and sometimes it's like a teacher's assistant.
Speaker 5: So it's someone your age that and they're uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: We need to make some phone calls out for this podcast.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 5: It's very strange, very strange. It seems like a distant memory.
Speaker 5: It is, but I remember it vividly because I'm like,
Speaker 5: I've never been naked in front of anyone. Now it
Speaker 5: has to be. All of my peers were all growing
Speaker 5: at different rates. Yeah, and I was not ahead of
Speaker 5: the gang.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 5: I was a little boy, a little boy with a
Speaker 5: little boy penis, showing it off to guys who are
Speaker 5: already shave and and with all supervised under an adult.
Speaker 1: Creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't like any of it.
Speaker 5: I don't know either. My rain story, Oh, I think
Speaker 5: I have one. Oh I one time I used to
Speaker 5: because mine is sort of a drinking story, and I'll
Speaker 5: finish it quickly because we're.
Speaker 2: Coming up on Dragon manner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you better.
Speaker 5: I used to at this house, me and my friends
Speaker 5: would go party at There was a lot of drinking
Speaker 5: young young like malt liquor drinking, the first drinking I
Speaker 5: ever did, and I was always worried when the police
Speaker 5: came to shut things down. I would run and hide
Speaker 5: in a bush, the same bush every time, so often
Speaker 5: that my friends knew, at like two in the morning
Speaker 5: to go check the bush. And sometimes I'd go back
Speaker 5: to the bush and my wallet would be there from
Speaker 5: the previous weekend, or a key, Oh there's my house key.
Speaker 5: And one time my friends did not check the bush,
Speaker 5: and it was raining and very hard, and I flagged
Speaker 5: down a police officer. Oh, and because it's a small
Speaker 5: town police officer, he just said, sure, I'll give you
Speaker 5: a ride home. Oh, And he frisked me first and
Speaker 5: then give me a ride.
Speaker 1: Home, talking about the rain.
Speaker 5: That's the end of the segment. We're trying out new
Speaker 5: things talking about the rain. One day, you'll teach me
Speaker 5: to harmonize way lesson over.
Speaker 2: I think you do, or maybe I do.
Speaker 1: I think I learned. Wait, you know, as we're waiting
Speaker 1: for Howard, yes, our guest of the day, m hm,
Speaker 1: you can, he'll pull this out and tell you who
Speaker 1: gave us that beautiful gift.
Speaker 2: And as you look it up, I will give you
Speaker 2: the sleep dot org.
Speaker 1: It says to Karen and Chris, if you're reading this,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the crazy fangirling you just saw. Enjoy
Speaker 1: a double tall one popemoca and an Arnold Palmer with
Speaker 1: coffee instead of tea on me.
Speaker 3: Love the podcast, Love you guys in the podcast. Kelly
Speaker 3: Jones from San Diego.

Speaker 1: she says she's a dinosaur and a murderingo for life.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Kelly Jones. Yay, Kelly, thank you.
Speaker 5: And yeah, Howard's not quite here yet. So here's the
Speaker 5: Sleepfoundation dot org. Here are the negative effects thought to
Speaker 5: be associated with mouth breathing. Oh okay, sleep disorder, dry
Speaker 5: mouth cavities, gum disease, bad breath, decreased cognitive ability.
Speaker 1: Dang, isn't that What are they saying? It affects your
Speaker 1: brain to breathe through your mouth, like it's better to
Speaker 1: breathe through your nose for your cognitive ability.
Speaker 5: I think it's a byproduct of something that happened at birth,
Speaker 5: my convulsions. I don't know snoring, and my inability sometimes
Speaker 5: to perform like well doing taxes.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that cab almost hit me.
Speaker 1: I watched that cab drive straight toward me and then
Speaker 1: basically right at the last second, realized I was in
Speaker 1: the road.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it seems like they're being a you. If I
Speaker 5: were to judge the driving of every New York City
Speaker 5: cab driver who does it all day in its second
Speaker 5: nature for them.
Speaker 2: They get so close to other cars, Yeah, they.
Speaker 5: Are in control. I would I would not go two
Speaker 5: inches from another.
Speaker 1: No, I certainly would not either.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5: Yes, who knows today's guests from clubs, clubs and colleges?
Speaker 2: I know, Hey, Gran, Hey, what's up? Flash?
Speaker 1: Do you have you ever met on a lease?
Speaker 5: It's very very rare that a guest says hello to
Speaker 5: our Really, yeah.
Speaker 4: You got a bunch of rude rudys.
Speaker 3: Howard, how are you? I miss you?
Speaker 4: I miss you too. It's been so long, it has
Speaker 4: been so long. I've got to confess something right off
Speaker 4: the bat. Okay, So it's great to see you both.
Speaker 4: First of all, I know both of you longer than
Speaker 4: you known each other. How about that?
Speaker 5: Ye, the first time you took me into a laundromat
Speaker 5: to do stand up and I was terrified.
Speaker 2: That's the night I met Karen.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, when.
Speaker 1: You were doing the British accent going the loundrow and
Speaker 1: it made me laugh.
Speaker 4: I could see it. That sounds fun. So here's what happened.
Speaker 4: I uh, I read your book. I don't know how
Speaker 4: many books do you have, Karen? Okay, so you got
Speaker 4: robbed the year that came out of like the Twain
Speaker 4: Prize or something like that. I mean, I'm nervous to
Speaker 4: talk to you actually, because there's the chapter specifically on
Speaker 4: the latch key kids. I mean I was like, when
Speaker 4: have I laughed at hard reading something out loud? And
Speaker 4: I was like, maybe Mark Twain, maybe Mark Twain. And
Speaker 4: then it also made me so much because I'm like,
Speaker 4: you know, that was just I don't know, I loved it.
Speaker 1: That's so great that literally is making me cry. Yes,
Speaker 1: that means the world to me.
Speaker 4: Would you Like I go into the into the bathroom
Speaker 4: to get the hair brush and I hold it up
Speaker 4: over my head. It's real now, and then you go
Speaker 4: and to beat the hell out of her with it.
Speaker 4: But then and there's so many times it just says
Speaker 4: hate her, and I just like felt that every time.
Speaker 1: Oh that's you know what's funny when I so we
Speaker 1: you know, we got this book deal, and then we
Speaker 1: were both like what the fuck are we doing? Like
Speaker 1: what how are we going to write a book? Like
Speaker 1: it was so scary.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that you got the deal before that
Speaker 5: you were even writing a book.
Speaker 3: It's like that thing that they do.
Speaker 1: We're like, if you have a thing that gets popular enough,
Speaker 1: you suddenly it sets off the thing of like now
Speaker 1: you're gonna have.
Speaker 2: This you this what I write, either a book or
Speaker 2: yoga clothes.
Speaker 1: We tried so in writing that we just kind of
Speaker 1: figured like, well, just it'll be a bunch of essays
Speaker 1: and then that'll be the way, you know, we'll just
Speaker 1: do it that way because we're not gonna like sit
Speaker 1: down together write a you know some sort of.
Speaker 4: And then it also surprised me that it was so
Speaker 4: like confessional, but not about really what you guys talk
Speaker 4: about on your podcast, right, it was self help, self
Speaker 4: help be in a good way, and then also just
Speaker 4: sharing life stories. Yeah, for anyone listening who thinks you
Speaker 4: got to be into murder to read that book, you
Speaker 4: don't Howard.
Speaker 1: I can't to get a four star or a five
Speaker 1: star review from you is just the greatest.
Speaker 4: I practice what I was going to say, and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, there she wrote that.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you just for the moment of it,
Speaker 1: because I know both of you will appreciate this because
Speaker 1: you probably both definitely had this feeling before.
Speaker 3: When I got the idea for that latch Key Kid chapter.
Speaker 1: It was like that thing where it goes glean in
Speaker 1: your brain and you're like, oh shit, this is good.
Speaker 1: And I wrote it super fast and literally just it
Speaker 1: was a true memo.
Speaker 3: But also I was like, oh this is I was
Speaker 3: just so excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that that came out quick makes
Speaker 4: sense to me because it's just like it's so it
Speaker 4: was one of those things where I don't want it
Speaker 4: to end, and it just kept going. And then like
Speaker 4: the way you took you know, you took such small
Speaker 4: increments of time. You know you cover seven to seven thirty.
Speaker 4: So good, Oh that's.
Speaker 2: Great, I got.
Speaker 5: I'm being quiet right now because I feel bad that
Speaker 5: I not only haven't read the book just in general.
Speaker 5: It's a little secret of mine that I don't read
Speaker 5: and I'm feel embarrassed about it because I have I've
Speaker 5: always had an issue and I would get over it
Speaker 5: where I'm like, been through three pages and I realized
Speaker 5: the whole time, I'm just thinking.
Speaker 2: About yeah yeah, okay, yeah, I start.
Speaker 4: Back over yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: All the time. So it takes me forever to get
Speaker 2: through a book, but I need to. And also it's.
Speaker 4: Also like practice too. If you've been doing it a lot,
Speaker 4: it gets easier than just starting, like, I haven't read
Speaker 4: in months, how do you do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I truly have probably twenty five copies of the
Speaker 1: book laying around my house because I'm supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing things with it.
Speaker 4: But I'll say more, Hey, I have one my twin sisters,
Speaker 4: a murderino. Yeah oh hell yeah, and we're in a
Speaker 4: semi kind of a Cold war feud.
Speaker 2: Like, let's solve it.
Speaker 4: You could have no I want to arms. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: you and your sister. I'd rather you inscribe it with
Speaker 4: something like Howard's right.
Speaker 1: Howard's right, and you've been wrong all along?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that book.
Speaker 5: That giving her that book will be like David Hasselhoff
Speaker 5: singing at the Berlin Wall, It's going to end the
Speaker 5: Cold War.
Speaker 1: Or it's going to blow it up so much worse
Speaker 1: as I her favorite podcaster come down on her brother's side.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's what I want.
Speaker 1: Howard, If you could write a book, or if you
Speaker 1: had to write a book, what do you think you
Speaker 1: would write about?
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. I never feel like I have.
Speaker 4: You know, it doesn't seem like you have much to
Speaker 4: share until you have a gun through your head, like
Speaker 4: you have to write it. Yeah, but uh, how to
Speaker 4: have a summer We tried that one time, like how
Speaker 4: to teach people to have more of intense summer experience?
Speaker 2: Yeah I would buy that.
Speaker 1: I would too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then not read it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, not read it? Leave it? Why you're ound? That's
Speaker 4: my problem? You put it at a local neighborhood library.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can just already see the cover of it.
Speaker 2: You on a ski do with an oranga tan?
Speaker 4: Yes you do learn that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What about when you long before I met you?
Speaker 5: But the stories about you and Chip in Austin, it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: those are the guys that made it in Austin Stories?
Speaker 2: How did that come about? How did you get that show?
Speaker 2: I don't think I ever knew?
Speaker 4: Oh really? Yeah? Okay, yeah, Austin Stories MTV.
Speaker 1: We did a definitive nineties fake reality television.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, fake reality, scripted reality ahead of its time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: played ourselves pre.
Speaker 2: Best in Ship, pre waiting for Guffman, go On, go In, and.
Speaker 4: So living in Austin doing stand up. They sent a
Speaker 4: couple people around MTV did to look for talent, and
Speaker 4: they went to a bunch of cities. They went to
Speaker 4: San Francisco and found like Paton and Blaine for whatever
Speaker 4: they were trying to do, and then they came to
Speaker 4: some other towns and stuff, and then they just thought
Speaker 4: Austin's cool. We heard that's a cool place now, so
Speaker 4: they went to Austin and then they just watched a
Speaker 4: bunch of stand ups and they saw us and they
Speaker 4: kind of just picked the four of us, met Chip Pope,
Speaker 4: Warehouse and the late Johnny Hardwick from King of the Hill.
Speaker 3: So sad. I was so sad when I saw that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, rip, he's super funny, super good guy.
Speaker 1: Wait what sorry, I don't remember him from Austin Stories.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he wasn't in it because he chose to
Speaker 4: do King of the Help. Oh and that was that
Speaker 4: was one of the like I remember just this phone
Speaker 4: call I had with him. Where I'm going, Dude, we're
Speaker 4: gonna be on camera. We that thing's a cartoon. No
Speaker 4: one's gonna see you. This is how Karen should do this.
Speaker 4: He wound up like buying his mom three houses. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: So anyway, they saw us and they gave us one
Speaker 4: thousand dollars each for the first year contract. Oh and MTV, MTV,
Speaker 4: And then we made our own little videos on this
Speaker 4: home video camera.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's why I thought. I thought the video. I
Speaker 2: didn't know.
Speaker 5: They came at you with, hey, will you do a
Speaker 5: show about Austin?
Speaker 4: That's all they said, right, yeah, they just they were
Speaker 4: just like, do a show about yourselves. Austin wasn't even
Speaker 4: super like a character in the show yet that was
Speaker 4: their idea. But basically, we made all these videos and
Speaker 4: then they just passed on it. They passed on it,
Speaker 4: and then another year went by and then they looked
Speaker 4: at it again and then they called us like, hey,
Speaker 4: we want to do something. So now it's two and
Speaker 4: a half years since they initiate that.
Speaker 2: I remember, like, out of nowhere, you just got the call.
Speaker 4: Yeah, legend has it that Johnny was at MTV or
Speaker 4: something and said, well you should remember them. It was
Speaker 4: like some kind of thing. So yeah, that was it.
Speaker 4: Then then that kind of got rolling slowly and then
Speaker 4: we shot a pilot. They waited three months to get
Speaker 4: green lit, so it took three and a half years
Speaker 4: from the em initially finding us to get our show
Speaker 4: and then we did one season. Yeah yeah, but we
Speaker 4: got to come out here and you know, meet everybody.
Speaker 1: Do stand up at a laundrymount?
Speaker 4: Do stand up at a laundry mount. I remember the
Speaker 4: first time I saw you was at the improv. You
Speaker 4: and mary Land. Oh really yeah, And I was like,
Speaker 4: oh god. I was like, I'm like, these are seniors.
Speaker 4: I'm freshmen.
Speaker 2: That's where they're doing girls Guitar Club.
Speaker 4: No, it was something maybe Sarah was in it too,
Speaker 4: us about a ghost Remember that there's something you know.
Speaker 1: At the improv in the in the.
Speaker 4: Main room you were doing it was like, because this
Speaker 4: is when I was like, oh wow, like alts sneaking
Speaker 4: into the main club and these fuckers are good at it,
Speaker 4: and yeah, you were doing it was some wacky conceptual
Speaker 4: thing in the main room.
Speaker 1: Wow, ghost based Remember, it wasn't sure, it wasn't the
Speaker 1: sketch show that me and Margaret Chow did.
Speaker 4: It wasn't I remember being you and Maryland? Where's that tour?

Speaker 4: of you know what I'm saying, you, Sarah Maryland, that's
Speaker 4: a tour people would want, don't you think?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll make a poster for it.
Speaker 1: Get him on the horn.
Speaker 2: I did a poster for Comedians of Comedy.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was nice to hear from Dave Wrath that
Speaker 5: year as my manager.
Speaker 2: Well, you design. I love the guy. I enjoy his company.
Speaker 2: I was at the bottom of the grapes of wrath.
Speaker 1: Of wrath, you were that bottom grape, Yeah, the one
Speaker 1: that's a little small and kind of brown, but so sweet.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how people want to be managers when
Speaker 1: essentially you set yourself up to make it so that
Speaker 1: no one's ever happy and you're never giving anybody enough, right.
Speaker 4: Like that is just I think it's the same, you know,
Speaker 4: it's the pimp mentality. Just I'll service my top clients
Speaker 4: and just kind of keep everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, and then ultimately, bitch better have my money.
Speaker 4: Yes, you are am I supposed to tell you what's
Speaker 4: what's the No, No, you just want to stare at
Speaker 4: the backs of our head.
Speaker 2: Do you have Errand I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's like I couldn't think of one. I could get
Speaker 4: a lighter.
Speaker 2: Maybe are you still doing those arsons?
Speaker 4: Yeah? For my arsons?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, don't do it in the rain, it'll take
Speaker 1: fu Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is stupid today.
Speaker 1: Howard, are you still doing the legendary COVID beating comedy
Speaker 1: show on the sidewalk?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: A great question. Squat melt squat melt comedy crawl stopped
Speaker 4: it about I don't know, like eight months ago. We
Speaker 4: came back strong out of pandemic. Ye, but never really
Speaker 4: built the audience back. And I'm not a great promoter
Speaker 4: or anything like that. The idea I wanted it to
Speaker 4: be was people new to come and show up. So
Speaker 4: it never really got to where people would just come
Speaker 4: no matter what and know that they could get up.
Speaker 4: So yeah, anyway, it's gone for now, but maybe it'll
Speaker 4: be back sometimes as calls and acts like they want
Speaker 4: to do it at Moon Tower down at Austin.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just around I mean that would be.
Speaker 4: It's good for festivals.
Speaker 3: It's a great idea for a festival.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the best version I felt was in Echo Park
Speaker 5: on the lake there, wandering around and then but there
Speaker 5: was that one time where these kids on bikes were
Speaker 5: being tough and smoking cigarettes, drinking their mad Dog and
Speaker 5: they were hackling, and then I let something come out
Speaker 5: of my mouth that maybe would make a kid want
Speaker 5: to fight.
Speaker 4: Did you say, relileigh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's all that's two thousand and five, Chris.
Speaker 5: I brought them really to Minnesota and had ever. They're like,
Speaker 5: what are you just saying?
Speaker 2: Really? Really? I'm like it came from Yeah, that's how.
Speaker 1: You start a fight like like that. You're basically saying
Speaker 1: do you want to go?
Speaker 4: It's him processing what happened and he can't believe it
Speaker 4: because he's so made. You cut me off with no
Speaker 4: one else on the road.
Speaker 5: Really, yeah, yeah, someone bumps into me in line?
Speaker 2: Really really really.
Speaker 5: I think it had a popularity the really as a
Speaker 5: confrontational world word, but it kind of went away.
Speaker 2: Let's bring it back, Yeah, bringing it back it helps.
Speaker 4: To build up the tension in your own mind too,
Speaker 4: like just keep.
Speaker 5: Really yeah it really just paste around my apartment saying really, really,
Speaker 5: this is life?
Speaker 4: Really are we in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1: I think so is that a bad idea?
Speaker 4: No? But it's crazy though. I've been doing some stand
Speaker 4: up at this club that's like in a bad, seedy
Speaker 4: part of Santa Monica. Gold Diggers, Uh No, it's.
Speaker 5: It is it called the Los Angeles Comedy clubber No, Okay, are.
Speaker 3: You gonna tell us what it's called.
Speaker 4: I could tell you it's called third Wheel.
Speaker 2: M But have you been posting videos of you performing
Speaker 2: that was?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that place, okay, and you can get up
Speaker 4: a lot. But it's like it's not uh, I mean
Speaker 4: it's not as friendly of an environment as we're used to.
Speaker 4: I would say that's what we need. Yeah, there's just
Speaker 4: a lot of like people just come at you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like with heckling.
Speaker 4: Not as much checkling. It's just the other comics. It's
Speaker 4: just like this new generation of comics has had it
Speaker 4: pretty tough. You know, like a lot of them even
Speaker 4: live in their car. Like it's so it's like you
Speaker 4: don't get a lot of just come at you for
Speaker 4: all kinds of ship.
Speaker 3: You know, wow during your set or just.
Speaker 4: Like you're hanging outside outside and stuff. But yeah, there
Speaker 4: can be hecklers and then there's like some fights have happened.
Speaker 4: It's just like town, there's there's there's there's hookers out
Speaker 4: there every night. Let's say I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, hey,
Speaker 4: what I'm sorry, I'm behind on that. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: If you go way back, you're yeah, that's like yeah,
Speaker 2: like that's like.
Speaker 1: Between I think it went hookers, Uh, prostitutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing is on forensic files.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then basically it's just that culturally people use that phrase.
Speaker 1: And then it's like, so therefore, if I say, if
Speaker 1: I call a person that, I don't have to care
Speaker 1: what happens to me because they're blank.
Speaker 3: And so the new version is sex workers to be like, hey, there.
Speaker 5: Are people I like to go with the classic that
Speaker 5: I think should make a come comeback Women of the Evening.
Speaker 4: Oh that's very nice, classy. What I'm hearing in some
Speaker 4: of the rap songs is cracking cars. I'm out here
Speaker 4: cracking cars.
Speaker 2: Really, what is that? Could you delve into that?
Speaker 4: Meaning I'm like, I'm making my money getting it out
Speaker 4: of these cars that go by.
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, wait, guys, I think we're on. We're here,
Speaker 3: we're unseen from a big something or other over here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we like to investigate crime.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Can we get a comment? I get it.
Speaker 2: Do you have anything to say? Pucks Tony Phil?
Speaker 1: Did you see that postni Phil attacked the guy that
Speaker 1: was holding him up this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 3: Love that that guy looks so pissed.
Speaker 4: The animals are wisen up.
Speaker 1: Yeah they are.
Speaker 4: Stop users for your weird rituals.
Speaker 1: Stop putting clothes on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I bit your hand because I thought my shadow.
Speaker 4: Was on it.
Speaker 1: Sorry. I mean it makes sense that they do that
Speaker 1: to that groundhog and hold him up like that and
Speaker 1: do all that ship where it's like, it's amazing, it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened sooner, and it's a.
Speaker 2: Made up like tooth fairy thing. There is no what
Speaker 2: what started that tradition? Does anyone know?
Speaker 1: Let Howard take this?
Speaker 2: Howard do you know about this?
Speaker 4: They're like, we're too dumb to know what the weather's
Speaker 4: gonna who's smarter than us, this groundhog?
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, there's all these big words in the Farmer's Almanac.
Speaker 2: Let me get this rat to talk.
Speaker 3: My dog brought in blossom.
Speaker 1: She brought in a mole into the house one time,
Speaker 1: and it was black like my sweater.
Speaker 2: Via inviter in her mouth.
Speaker 1: In her mouth, it was making a clicking noise that
Speaker 1: sounded like mechanical.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 1: And I look over and she's like whipping it around
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna love it. And then I looked at
Speaker 1: it and its front teeth were like bigger than its face.
Speaker 1: I can't explain it, but they're so scary and wild looking,
Speaker 1: and those front teeth are like look like it's like.
Speaker 4: It's an underground, subterranean creature.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's got to like bite his way through
Speaker 3: earth and rock. You don't want to be there near
Speaker 3: those teeth.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is my point?
Speaker 4: No, especially like when you're hanging out in your house,
Speaker 4: you're smoking pot and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 4: just a woids critter.
Speaker 3: It's a clicking metal mole under attack.
Speaker 5: And then the wallpaper wallpaper starts bubbling up and it's
Speaker 5: a tooth first worm with legs.
Speaker 4: Lord, hey, we're going We're gonna go past this place
Speaker 4: if we keep going down.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, let's do it. We'll do a drive by.
Speaker 1: I'll see if we can sign up for their showcase.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, we can stop and play quarters in front too,
Speaker 4: if you want, we play quarters out there where you
Speaker 4: gotta like you gotta throw your quarter closest to the wall.
Speaker 4: Oh and it's it's it's surprisingly compelling.
Speaker 3: Are you not allowed to touch like bounce it off?
Speaker 4: Now you can bounce it, but you just gotta be
Speaker 4: you know, it's got to land closest. And those guys
Speaker 4: play poker upstairs over there, and uh, I hate it.
Speaker 4: I think it's boring. And they all get into like poke.
Speaker 4: Poker's like coke. It'll just like take a right person
Speaker 4: and just drain all the fun out of there and
Speaker 4: making weird and suddenly so true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, I'd love this new scene that you're diving into.
Speaker 5: And I've seen comics get off stage and then get
Speaker 5: into their car with their pillows and stuff.
Speaker 2: That makes me sad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's sad for something. But like a lot
Speaker 4: of them are just up front about it. And then
Speaker 4: some of them I moved out of it. Now they've
Speaker 4: got a place and stuff, but then new ones come.
Speaker 3: Have they scoped out safe places to park?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's some kind of there's lots and there's like
Speaker 4: stores where they could go and they don't get bothered man.
Speaker 4: Then one of them's like, hey, I got a part
Speaker 4: in this movie and I want to know if you
Speaker 4: want to play my neighbor. And I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's so's cool and he goes yeah, he goes, I'm
Speaker 4: living in my car and then you're the guy in
Speaker 4: the next car. You're my neighbor. Oh. So it's like,
Speaker 4: all right, that's how you see me. Okay, that's good,
Speaker 4: sounds good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's like, and I'm filming it on my phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Actually I think he just pulls out his throne.
Speaker 2: You're hired. This is non union.
Speaker 1: So wait, you've basically kind of stumbled upon a new
Speaker 1: comedy scene.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's been pretty crazy because when I first walked
Speaker 4: in there, I was like, oh, look at all these people.
Speaker 4: I was like, I got to prove to these people
Speaker 4: I'm funny. Jesus Christ, you know, because nobody you don't
Speaker 4: know anybody. And then after a few months went by
Speaker 4: it was kind of going a lot. I was like, wow, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's got all these new It really reminded me of
Speaker 4: Austin to Christ just what I keep thinking of. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and there's and there's characters, you know, every scene has
Speaker 4: the you know, the wildly autistic guy and the inn Bathwell. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and there's there's there's a couple of Bathwells over there.
Speaker 4: They're you know, slightly different. It's interesting how they're different.
Speaker 4: And then there's you know, there's just every archetype that
Speaker 4: you see in the scenes that these are just like
Speaker 4: a newer group of kids. Some of them have been
Speaker 4: doing it a while.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 5: There was a guy that used to show up at
Speaker 5: vel veto open mic that just would bring a bucket
Speaker 5: on stage, not say anything, turn his back to the audience.
Speaker 2: And try and pee into the bucket.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: A lot of times he'd have stage fright and it
Speaker 5: wouldn't come out, and he said, sorry, I'll try again
Speaker 5: next week. And we remember the week that he successfully
Speaker 5: started peeing in the bucket and you could hear it,
Speaker 5: and everyone started cheering because we'd all seen this weirdo.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's setish.
Speaker 3: I bet that was a setish. You guys were used.
Speaker 2: He did ask everyone to please take their shoes off first.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have let that fly. That had to be
Speaker 4: after I moved.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, no, there was there was definitely a
Speaker 5: gate keeping at the velveto room where I remember telling
Speaker 5: a series of puns and then someone just shut out,
Speaker 5: like uh like beacher, someone just shut off the mic
Speaker 5: on me, and I got so Montana angry, and then
Speaker 5: I learned to love those guys like it was there to.
Speaker 3: Say really about ten times yeah yeah really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was made jerk and then really, yep, that's me.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what goes on here too. It's like
Speaker 4: a lot of that, Like it's like a big pack
Speaker 4: of dogs and that everybody's kind of like regulating each other.
Speaker 3: Are there any girl comics?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are. That. Like one thing that's great about
Speaker 4: it's it's like, you know, black, White, Latin, Asian, LGBT,
Speaker 4: there's females, there's everything. But it is I mean there
Speaker 4: are times when you're hearing stuff that you just really
Speaker 4: haven't heard a comedy club in a while, because I
Speaker 4: mean there's there's like you know, there's Eastern European guys
Speaker 4: going up and they say what they want and they
Speaker 4: say it a lot of times in front of the
Speaker 4: people they're talking about. Yeah, and there's only been tension once.
Speaker 4: But it is a little more wild West than than
Speaker 4: I think. You know, sometimes you're like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: was that cool? I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have the same every other Monday. I go
Speaker 5: all the way down to Manhattan Beach to Poncho's Mexican
Speaker 5: restaurant and they have a show that they've done for
Speaker 5: like ten years.
Speaker 2: So people show up and it is you.
Speaker 4: Know, local guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like surf fiscally conservative surf dads, right, and but
Speaker 5: it it It is good for me to make sure
Speaker 5: I can make those people laugh.
Speaker 2: And when I was running my set for like Conan,
Speaker 2: which is a long time ago.
Speaker 5: I would go there to make sure that it had like, uh,
Speaker 5: you know it appealed to like regular people, not just
Speaker 5: LA comedy scene people.
Speaker 4: Super valuable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's for TV, yes, Yeah, you need to realize
Speaker 5: the majority of people watching TV or maybe people you
Speaker 5: wouldn't have over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they won't get your jokes about Dave Ra exactly.
Speaker 4: Besides also like just so see in general, you go
Speaker 4: down there and you're like, oh, they don't get anything
Speaker 4: that you talk about in LA like did just you're
Speaker 4: not preaching to the converted at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that's like the I actually love the Irvine
Speaker 1: improv but I did a set there once after having
Speaker 1: not done stand up for five years. Greg Barrett was like,
Speaker 1: come and open for me.
Speaker 4: You have to get back up and start doing it
Speaker 4: at a place to get your feet way to get great.
Speaker 1: And my material was all that kind of like there
Speaker 1: was really nothing to it because I was just like
Speaker 1: trying to trying to put material together, and so it
Speaker 1: was just like the timing was off. There was nothing
Speaker 1: actually funny happening. There was certainly nothing relatable happening because
Speaker 1: I was just talking about myself and at the end
Speaker 1: of my but I only had to do fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: so I got through it. But at the end, a
Speaker 1: woman came up to me and she goes, well, I
Speaker 1: liked it, yeah the best, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite, bet or not I could do that's
Speaker 2: my favorite.
Speaker 4: I'll make her feel better letting her know that one
Speaker 4: person was doing it.
Speaker 3: It felt like no people liked what you just did,
Speaker 3: but one did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this place is coming up. I got to interrupt.
Speaker 2: Oh the lighter or the comedy.
Speaker 4: The club. You'll never even know there's a club there
Speaker 4: at all. It's up here on the right. Please let
Speaker 4: it be a launder mat. It's this great place right here.
Speaker 4: Really yeah, inside there, like wow, inside there.
Speaker 2: Wow, really that's so weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they're like, just for instance, some comic
Speaker 4: came out of there, had a bad set with the
Speaker 4: gate open.
Speaker 2: Broke the gate.
Speaker 4: He's banned two months, you're out two months. Oh no,
Speaker 4: it's just wild West for he had just gotten in.
Speaker 4: He just got two weeks from getting into a fistfight
Speaker 4: in the showroom. And yeah, when they saw him break
Speaker 4: the gate, that's two more.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing that made me think of Austin.
Speaker 2: There was fights.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's fights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris, it.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're really really energy needs to show up
Speaker 3: at this.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just getting this.
Speaker 4: You'll get within three months.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go back to really.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Really these two guys, uh, just talking through my set
Speaker 2: in Austin, and I had a drink on stage and
Speaker 2: I just threw it on their table. Whoa yeah and
Speaker 2: knocked over there.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, I mean years ago, Yeah, back back when
Speaker 5: I was your backup dnswer Oh yeah, like a long
Speaker 5: time ago.
Speaker 2: The second time I broke my arm without noticing.
Speaker 5: You gotta be careful. What what kind of a stool
Speaker 5: you do? The diving worm off of Hey, man.

Speaker 5: What used to be several feet of snow according to
Speaker 5: their Instagram was just patches of dirt the rain, just
Speaker 5: just because it was five degrees too warm. And it

Speaker 5: second hand store.
Speaker 2: And then they're just in the rain and it was
Speaker 2: blowing so hard.

Speaker 2: Did you ever do stand up at that ramon Ann Howard?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the story I remember the phost Is. It's a
Speaker 4: hotel and in the basement they have stand up, So
Speaker 4: I'm doing stand up there once. It was on Sunday
Speaker 4: nights and there was a woman there in a really
Speaker 4: shiny dress. I guess she was just someone who was
Speaker 4: staying at the hotel. So I just started making fun
Speaker 4: of the dress and making fun of the dress, making
Speaker 4: fun of the dress, and I see the dress get
Speaker 4: up and then run down the hallway and you could
Speaker 4: see out into the hallway past the stage, and then
Speaker 4: I saw, oh, that wasn't a woman, that was a
Speaker 4: little girl, and that someone had brought like a family
Speaker 4: had come down with their little girl. And I was
Speaker 4: just going off.
Speaker 2: Oh no, she ran off because she was sad.
Speaker 4: He looked like she's like seventh Oh no from the stage.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. There was nothing I could do. I didn't
Speaker 4: know what was going on until she ran past me,
Speaker 4: crying to the elevator. The worst, best, worst best, Thanks

Speaker 1: an old art house theater. So it's like I can't
Speaker 1: remember if that's the one that has like it's an
Speaker 1: Egyptian theme.

Speaker 4: to know to live in this neighborhood. Name from back
Speaker 4: in the day, one of the greats. Yeah.

Speaker 5: it would he'd compliment it right after I got off stage,
Speaker 5: and I'd always want to say, what about my comedy,
Speaker 5: But he's a fan of my art While I was
Speaker 5: doing stand up, which I appreciate to this day.
Speaker 4: Invite him over to watch you draw and then I'll go,
Speaker 4: you're really funny.
Speaker 5: He's another person like doctor Drew or JK. Simmons, where
Speaker 5: he just had surprisingly big arm muscles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had like four arms, like he had strung
Speaker 4: four arms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he admitted to putting a lot of work

Speaker 3: Were you ever accepted?
Speaker 2: Yes? To this day. I still perform there this day.

Speaker 4: Yeah? Well we did at Barnstall on the one year anniversary.
Speaker 4: The cops came in SUVs and chased us out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I just worked for that one.
Speaker 4: And that's when I was like, Okay, this thing needs
Speaker 4: to be on the move because we were doing it
Speaker 4: in one spot at that point, and I was like,
Speaker 4: maybe if we're on the move, then they won't care
Speaker 4: as much. We did it on the move for.
Speaker 2: Were you doing it there?
Speaker 5: In the tradition of comedy venues that had closed the
Speaker 5: first being meltdown and then that know what it was.
Speaker 4: Is after the initial location at squad Well, they kicked
Speaker 4: us out of there, so we moved to Steve Allen,
Speaker 4: which was a comedy theater. It's also in berry Berry.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, the acting school in Barry. And then they
Speaker 4: kicked us out of there right before the first anniversary.
Speaker 4: So it was like, all right, we'll do it across
Speaker 4: the street at Barnesdale, and then the cops didn't like that,
Speaker 4: and then we put on the road.
Speaker 2: Did you ever go upstairs?
Speaker 5: Like sometimes backstage I noticed older old men, uh in
Speaker 5: polyester upstairs and they'd have like Roy Orbison medallions.
Speaker 2: It was an atheist group run.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was magicians. Say, is this the
Speaker 5: Magicians Union? No, it was an atheist group, and they
Speaker 5: were all sweet old men. They were like, we don't
Speaker 5: believe in God because apparently that was Steve Allen's thing outspoken,
Speaker 5: oh wowing.
Speaker 2: But they were the sweetest old guys. They're just not
Speaker 2: They weren't wearing all black.
Speaker 4: Because that place was called like the Center for Inquiry. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's he must have intended it to be a meeting
Speaker 4: for non denominational.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it just it made it seem so wholesome
Speaker 5: that it was like, Oh, I missed the grandpa I
Speaker 5: never had.
Speaker 4: You never had grandpa's.
Speaker 2: I did have a couple of grandpa's, but not the
Speaker 2: kind that you.
Speaker 4: Miss I never met. Most of mine, they like died
Speaker 4: before I was born.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with mine, they just weren't.
Speaker 5: I was born in California, my Yeah, mom and dad
Speaker 5: wanted to move us back to Missoula where they grew
Speaker 5: up when I was like two years old because they thought, oh,
Speaker 5: the grandparents might want to be part of these kids.
Speaker 4: So they wanted to help raising your cures.
Speaker 2: Oh that's whatever. Yeah, but I never I never yeah,
Speaker 2: never was set.
Speaker 4: They were never sided, were part of California, were born in.
Speaker 5: It was Monterey pretty close to Karen Is Yeah, in
Speaker 5: the grand scheme of the world.
Speaker 3: Yes, very close.
Speaker 2: Easy days drive.
Speaker 1: And a beautiful one.
Speaker 4: Ageous it is.

Speaker 5: because now I would be making glass sculptures of dolphins.
Speaker 1: Horrifying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not my scene. I love It's great
Speaker 2: to visit.
Speaker 4: But if George Lopez has a how do you know
Speaker 4: Meianship wrote for TV lands George Lopez Show two seasons.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, yeah, like fifteen, twenty fifteen, and sixteen, and.
Speaker 3: He invited you to his scation home.

Speaker 5: skating and filming them like in support, like, let's see.
Speaker 2: You land this.
Speaker 5: Oh, I think it's great you guys out here in
Speaker 5: the streets. And then I found another one after that,
Speaker 5: he serially goes out with his phone and tries to
Speaker 5: motivate skateboarders by filming them, and they're like, that's George Lopez.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, it's youtubable.
Speaker 4: I got a theory he's trying to steal that market
Speaker 4: from Paul Rodriguez because Paulgez's son is a Skateboarder's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's like it's like he's trying to get in
Speaker 3: on the territory.
Speaker 2: Look at it.
Speaker 3: We've already got some flooding here.
Speaker 5: Yes, whoa whoa that Yeah, Paulgez Junior and Senior. We're
Speaker 5: on The Daily Habit, a show I worked on because
Speaker 5: of you, Kramer. Oh yeah, you introduced me to everyone
Speaker 5: there and it became seven years of my life. And
Speaker 5: they he on the show like kind of apologized and
Speaker 5: got emotional for not being in Paul Rodriguez Junior's p
Speaker 5: Rod's life.
Speaker 4: In the do you guys know what was his name?
Speaker 4: Chris the he dj' for Paul McCartney. Chris, Chris Holmes
Speaker 4: used to hang around comedy a lot. Oh you guys
Speaker 4: know him anyway, he lived right there in that purple house.
Speaker 4: But he was he was like a comedy producer and stuff.
Speaker 2: And then uh, DJ for Paul McCart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul mccorney had a tour and said, I want
Speaker 4: you to mix up like Beetles songs and stuff before
Speaker 4: the tour. So he's like toured with McCartney. He told
Speaker 4: a story about a party at his house right there
Speaker 4: where there was like four o'clock in the morning. Everybody
Speaker 4: had left except one dude who wouldn't shut up, and
Speaker 4: it was Lars from Metallica. Maybe I forgot. We were
Speaker 4: teething in front of his house.
Speaker 2: Is he still there? Not at ours? But Chris, Oh,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's flying deuces? I wonder.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it was probably called World War two movie
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, it'll be an old yeah Cheech and
Speaker 5: Chong two and then tomorrow it'll be something else. We're
Speaker 5: here at the Vista Theater.
Speaker 4: Are they really just doing one day two day movies? Oh?
Speaker 1: Look at Pam's coffee's clothes. No really no, unless I
Speaker 1: mean it looks like it because there's a clothes sign.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, did Pam Greer enjoy coffee?
Speaker 3: Or is it just like coffee? Brown was her character's name.
Speaker 2: Oh see coffee in those movies?
Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 4: saw I'm like, look at these credits.
Speaker 3: My god, who were they're taking?
Speaker 1: Forever?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I wonder who's in charge of that? Like do you
Speaker 3: get to set the pace of your own credits?
Speaker 4: Probably because it was like, you know indie movies, Yeah,
Speaker 4: like you know exploitation movies.
Speaker 5: I bet it was like, this is barely considered a
Speaker 5: feature because the run time is one twenty.
Speaker 2: How do we add more credits credits?
Speaker 3: Seven minute credits?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what blooper reels are for.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go, but I wonder if I can.
Speaker 2: Well, let's it is a confusing intersection.
Speaker 4: It's random, we're being scoff loss.
Speaker 1: Also, one's the last time you've seen like this is
Speaker 1: I believe on sunset now nobody was coming from the
Speaker 1: other direction.
Speaker 4: Yeah that was crazy. Yeah that's a five way stop too.
Speaker 5: She just navigated the hilarious thing about the city that
Speaker 5: I'm still not used to.
Speaker 2: People are crippled with fear when it comes to rain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they stay home for sure, for sure and making
Speaker 4: right on red. They just can't do it unless you
Speaker 4: remind them it's illegal, and then you have to honk.
Speaker 3: Then you're the asshole.
Speaker 2: It is a thing. Here's a crosser with great posture.
Speaker 2: Good job, man.
Speaker 1: I want those boots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're good boots.

Speaker 5: cheese homesteak? Are you tired of breakfast burritos and long
Speaker 5: for the smaller breakfast taco home state? It's a good

Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 3: With fun and also it's improv and stand up right.
Speaker 4: Yeah. They have a lot of weird specialty shows, like
Speaker 4: you know, like there's one called Jenga where it's like
Speaker 4: you gotta pull something out of the Djenga and then
Speaker 4: on it they have the topic. Oh I like that?
Speaker 2: No, I know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of those shows. It's like, I'd rather
Speaker 4: just be stand up. I don't, but they have to
Speaker 4: have four shows a night. Yeah, shoot, every night.
Speaker 5: I don't want to do freeze tag or like give
Speaker 5: us a suggestion, and the two of us are gonna
Speaker 5: be in a kitchen. Yeah, no, I do like, okay,
Speaker 5: you have like my favorite show was that set list
Speaker 5: show where they would just project.
Speaker 3: That shows amazing, the Great Moon War of you know, just.
Speaker 2: Going that's great.
Speaker 4: Having a topic projected is good because it'll make you
Speaker 4: stay on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very true.
Speaker 5: I think it's very important for the audience to see
Speaker 5: that topic come up when you do, and then they're
Speaker 5: in on.
Speaker 4: It with you think we're talking about this and it
Speaker 4: wasn't my idea. We have to talk about it. Go
Speaker 4: with it.

Speaker 5: somehow be an accredited you know. There was magazines in
Speaker 5: there and stuff that would people. And I was like, wait,
Speaker 5: could I just do this on my own? If I
Speaker 5: was able to get in here and they hand you
Speaker 5: the tapes, that's content.

Speaker 2: h and.
Speaker 4: To look like they were coming to him.
Speaker 1: Well, Howard, you just mentioned who Charted. You've had many podcasts.
Speaker 1: You've had podcasts for a long time. Are you still

Speaker 1: No, you can't change the way chronological time works. I
Speaker 1: just can't.
Speaker 2: Not in podcasting without a delure in.
Speaker 1: But but you have Who Charted, But then you also
Speaker 1: have another podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have Hood Charter. We count down the top
