Speaker 4: appointment today to talk to my doctor because there's a

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 4: whole list of things that I feel like I should

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: be checking on. It was conveniently right across the street

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: in what I thought was an abandoned building for years.

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: But there's a doctor in there.

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Oh, he's kind of in the corner.

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

32
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 4: No, one receptionist person and then the doctor who right

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: when I walked in. She was yelling at someone and

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: was looked very mean and the dieta she she was.

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: I didn't get her.

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: The receptionist. Uh.

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: The receptionist felt like it was a hostage situation. She's

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: sweet and I'm still worried about her. There was a

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: woman in there just bleeding that was uh. I think

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: just got in like but implants and they were they

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: flipped around. I'm not a doctor, but this is going

42
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: to get clinical, but why not? I think she was

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: in pain and I was concerned and I asked her

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: if she maybe thought it was infected because no one

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: was helping her. And then I was going before I'm like, no,

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: let her go first. That looks serious. They're like, no,

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: that's your appointments now. And they wanted cash. I'm or

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 4: check to forms of payment from the nineties and I

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: don't carry cash.

50
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: Maybe I should, I probably should. I got to stop you.

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: You you must please do this is boring so far?

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: No, okay, it's because I have a legit question and

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: then what based on your answer, I may have a small.

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: Anecdote, okay, thank you.

55
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: Was the woman with the butt implants, maybe that you

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: were thinking maybe that was the problem. Had her butt

57
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: implants flipped around, because that is a thing that happens

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: to people that get butt like cheap butt implants. The

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: implant itself flips and then there's like a flat It

60
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: basically looks like a big square in their pants.

61
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: Oh square pants. She was not square pants. She I

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: think did everything at once, and that the blood that

63
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: I saw was on.

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: The sides of her new boobs.

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: And that from what I could tell from And I'm

66
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: not you know, I'm not a creepy guy, but it

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: looks like they did an okay job. I was just

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: worried that she was groaning in pain. And I'm not

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: even trying to make light of it. I was very

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: worried that she'd gone septic.

71
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: Now, is there a chance that you went to a

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: ghost kaiser?

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: I went.

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: Then I was like, well, I just have an irash

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: and some other things.

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: And the doctor came in.

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: She's like, only one ailment per appointment. I could not

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: mention a second thing. She didn't want to even hear it.

79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 4: I started with Irash. I was going to get to

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: I should have a camera in my BH, and she didn't.

81
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: She's like Irash I said, and I left.

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: I should say, you know, you could say, is hey,

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: you know what you don't. I don't have to talk

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: about it now. You can listen to my podcast and

85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: I'll just listen out on there.

86

Speaker 3: guest today was pre med.

88
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480

00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: earlier studies.

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: Oh you're trying to open the door to maybe get diagnosed.

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: I'm assume opening.

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: I'm doing one of my classic sagging into the intro

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 4: of today's guest, who I'm very excited about out She's

94

98
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Kay, Hi, thank you for having me.

99
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: Hi.

100
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: The lead up was good, but I think I sorry

101
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: for the clunky introduction. Usually Karen takes the reins on those,

102
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: but I thought I'd give it a stab.

103
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: No, it was great. I really liked it.

104
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 4: What should I have done with this? This poor woman

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: in the waiting room.

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: As a pre med expert.

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: Yes, as a.

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Pre med expert. First of all, I think you did

109
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the right thing, which was immediately offering medical advice, which

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: was immediately taking the role of a medical professional. Because

111
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: that's the thing about I think being a doctor is

112
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: the doctor in the room, is the person willing to

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: stand up.

114
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: Right and he's situation, even when it's unsolicited, right, that's.

115
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: When it's especially when it's unsolicit.

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: I've been meeting a lot of these types of doctors lately.

117
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Oh. I Also, here's my solution for your for the

118
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: like one ailment per appointment you should have, you should

119
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: have a doctor on the podcast.

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: I think you're right.

121
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: Do we know any comedy doctors? Ken Jong?

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: I guess Mattisman, host of American Ninja Warrior. He was

123
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: a doctor and then quit to do comedy, And I thought,

124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 4: what are your nuts?

125
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: Remember Pete, my ex used to be the cameraman for

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: the home renovation show that he was a host of.

127
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: He's a very nice person.

128
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very nice.

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: He has rheumatoid arthritis and we did arthritis shows together.

130
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: That's another ailment on Chris's list of ailments. Yeah, he's

131
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: going to fit him in the whole show.

132
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: I want you both to know. Though she was like,

133
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: I need to go to a hospital. I'm like, uh,

134
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: And I almost offered. I acted like I was going to,

135
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: and then I realized I didn't want it was the implant,

136
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: the butt. I didn't want her sitting on my car,

137
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: and my car wasn't right there. She would have had

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: to walk three blocks to my house on her hurt butt.

139
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: But it's okay because she got angry and stormed out

140
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: and then out of our lives.

141
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: Also, when you were okay, when you were describing the

142
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: implant slipping around or like turning around in some capacity,

143
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I did immediately imagine that it like I imagine the

144
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: most unnatural version of that, which was the implant going

145
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: around to.

146
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: The thigh so that it kind of looks like you

147
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: have two lumps in your lap when you're.

148
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a sort of a front butt were looking at.

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: So disturbing.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: That's that's really upsetting. No, I don't recommend that thinking

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: about it.

152
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: No, my friends when I lived in Austin, these screen printers,

153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: they were in a band called Front.

154
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: But I just have to let you know, Wow, that's

155
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: a thing I guess it is.

156
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: These things have been flipping for decades now.

157
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: I mean there's pictures you can go look up on

158
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: the internet. Obviously that's how I did it. I didn't

159
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: see that in person. You can anybody can see it,

160
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: because like all those plastic surgery gone wrong TV shows. Yeah,

161
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: I mean, if one of those comes on, like in

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: a hotel or something, I have to watch the entire thing.

163
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: And I normally like to pretend I'm above something like that,

164
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: or like I'd rather read a Jane Austen novel. But

165
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: the truth is, if you show a person that tried

166
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: to better themselves in this one way, there, they've decided

167
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: they need improvement, which is often not what I see.

168
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: Like it's that kind of thing where you're like, I

169
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: don't why are you so obsessed with this? It doesn't

170
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: make sense. And then to have that vantage he likes

171
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: like slap them in the face. And then they have

172
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: cubes on their ass. Yeah yeah, it's horrible.

173
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: And now they have front button and now they will

174
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: float her, but they can go anywhere in their fronts anywhere.

175
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: I guess I sort of think of the body as

176
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: as like a skin bag. I guess that's yeah, I

177
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: guess that's a lot of the problem here.

178
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: That was the problem in medical school.

179
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, oh, I can't do this. I

180
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: was like, just push it down, push it down.

181
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Just flip it over the side.

182
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: I do recall in her final pleads with the doctor.

183
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: Uh, this person was like, what is happening? What is happening? Doctor?

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: And I kind of feel like she's saying, hey, what's

185
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 4: happening doctor, Like she knows her already, But I think

186
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: she was asking what was happening. She asked like three times,

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: and the doctor would not look at her, and then

188
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 4: she walked out. And that's when I I'm like, oh,

189
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: this is like a scary doctor, a doctor death doctor.

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: To me, that suggests that that doctor is the one

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: who did the procedure that then went wrong.

192
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 4: That it's and then who my insurance sent me to.

193
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 4: I didn't choose her. It was like, that's the best

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: of my group.

195
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: I gotta get new insurance. But you can go back

196
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: to you know, the student.

197
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: The student, the patient knew the doctor from previous Yeah,

198
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: are you sure. I'm not sure that you went to

199
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: I am not at all. There was holes in the

200
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 4: wall that only could have been punched. There was a

201
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: door to the hallway to go to the examination rooms

202
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: that had been bent the wrong way out of anger.

203
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: And then I read this doctor's reviews and a lot

204
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,119
Speaker 4: of them are scathing. If there's a doctor death situation.

205
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 4: It was very it's all kind of hitting me now.

206
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: It was a scary day. Yeah, I'm glad it is scary.

207
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm glad I turned round and left him. I'm just

208
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: worried about that, poor lady. But Broth, you were you.

209
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 4: I it was funny that we were told that you

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: you switched from pre med to writing and so many

211
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: lives were saved, which.

212
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: I laughed hard.

213
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: No, truly, it's like a blessing for everyone.

214
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: And that was all. It is a Wellesley Wellesley College.

215
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know anything about that school, but

216
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: because it's named that, I feel like it's a very

217
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: good school.

218
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: It is a very good school, and and you know

219
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: it's a it's a place everyone is really serious and academic.

220
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: And I used to be very serious in academic. And

221
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: then when I got to the Wellesley campus, so my

222
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: I was like wanting to do you know, pre med,

223
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do public health, and I was

224
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: like the dream is to work at like the World

225
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: Health Organization. And so I got to campus and I

226
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: looked around for like one minute, and I was like, no,

227
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: they're going to do that. I'm fine, that's yeah, they'll

228
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: take care of it. I get you do not say

229
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: no more. I get exactly who I am here.

230
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: You just needed that, you need perspective. I needed the

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: problem where you basically kind of showed up thinking you

232
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: would do pre MED and then immediately decided you're going

233
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: to go in a different direction.

234
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I did pre Med for about a year

235
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: and a half, and then I told my parents that,

236
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, I I think I want to be a writer, specifically,

237
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I want to be a comedy writer. And my parents

238
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: were like, you're not the right generation, like where the

239
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: immigrants you do something like be a doctor and then

240
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: your children can be.

241
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: Clowns and generation.

242
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

243
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: My parents like, that's not this isn't supposed to be

244
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: our problem. This is supposed to be your problem.

245
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: You're going out of order.

246
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: That's so specific and great. I love that.

247
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: Where were your parents from.

248
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: They're both from India and I grew up in Kentucky.

249
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: I grew up right outside Cincinnati.

250
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: And why did they choose to move there? Is it

251
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: for work or was there anything specific that they.

252
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, my dad is a physician, and so he

253
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: was like after he did his residency in Boston, he

254
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: was wanting to like practice in sort of a low

255
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: income area, and so then we moved to the middle

256
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. And then my parents really quickly were like

257
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: they realized. They were like, oh, America is really racist.

258
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: We forgot about that.

259
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, we somehow.

260
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: Forgot about that coming from Boston.

261
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: That highway must have been very long, but it was

262
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: bustin in Kentucky to forget about racism.

263
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: It was real long.

264
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: It was real.

265
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: It was that they were both hit very hard in

266
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the head by a racist.

267
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: But did they stay did they make it work? Uh?

268
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: We stayed in like truly like Farmland, Kentucky for a

269
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: few years and then moved up to like the greater

270
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati area.

271
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: Cool.

272
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's where they still are.

273
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: The idea that they wouldn't think they'd get a comedy

274
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: writer out of a situation like that, like that's basically

275
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: was one of your only options.

276
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: It was my only option.

277
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was absurd and report please. Yeah, although I

278
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: bet there's a lot of pressure to be a doctor

279
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: when you that's common if there's doctors in your family, right, yeah.

280
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they and like I remember they were so upset

281
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: that I wanted to be a writer. And one time

282
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: my mom said she like I called her and she

283
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: her version of hello was just like a deep sigh,

284
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: and then she said, you were the grandchild that your

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: grandfather wanted to become a doctor. And I was like, oh, sure,

286
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: they never talked about that. Why would my grandpa say that.

287
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: He was like he was like asking more interesting questions

288
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: or he was like he was like, what's up, America's weird?

289
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: Like he wasn't.

290
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: He wasn't like that is a grandchild that will become

291
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: a doctor.

292
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: He was kind of like, I've seen it. I've seen

293
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: it in a vision. I had a dream last night,

294
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: and this is what must happen.

295
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: Did you call her on it? Where you're like, no,

296
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: he didn't, you're making that up.

297
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: I tried to. I tried to. But I'm also terrified

298
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: of my mom. She's very smart and funny, which means

299
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: that she is very mean, and in a way that's true.

300
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: If she's funny, then she had to understand then that

301
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: you wanted to be a comedy writer.

302
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,359
Speaker 3: Part of it's.

303
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: Also her fault. Yeah, point, don't be funny to me.

304
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: If I'm not, I just throw back a whole bottle

305
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: of ad bill. Yeah. She is very funny, and she well,

306
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: she was always kind of like like, while she was

307
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: trying to talk me out of this, she was like,

308
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: why can't you just be funny, just like being funny friends.

309
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love when doctors have jokes. I'm not defending her,

310
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: but it's a great time for comedy.

311
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: It's a great time for comedy.

312
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: Airline pilots, when stakes are high, bring the comedy.

313
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: But that is a very relevant question because I lately

314
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: have had that idea where I was like, in my

315
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: mind there was never a question of what I wanted

316
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: to do, and it was very much like this weird

317
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: kind of like, oh the I that was my calling legitimately,

318
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: but only very recently. I was just like, but why

319
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: did I have to do it to this degree? Why

320
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: couldn't I. It's it's a very salient point to be like,

321
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: but in the smaller pond of being like, you know,

322
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: even like just an amazing accountant. That's also the most

323
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: fun at parties that's a victory in and of itself, Like, yeah,

324
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: does it have to be official?

325
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: Yeah? She was just like, why do you have to

326
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: make it a whole thing? Stop making everything a whole thing.

327
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: It's exhausting. And I was like, you don't understand my art,

328
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: and she was like, what art You've never written?

329
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 3: You put on a black beret and storm off. Yeah.

330
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I teach her a little something about society.

331
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly spoken word.

332
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 4: Were you able to stay at the same school they had,

333
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 4: so it's like a pre med and they have a

334
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: liberal arts.

335
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a liberal arts school, so I could

336
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: like very easily switch over.

337
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

338
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: So I ended up majoring in English, and it was

339
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: for fun. It was also I do think that there

340
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: was some merit to being funny in a place where

341
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: everyone is really smart, because a lot of the times

342
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: then the professors felt like they could kind of relax

343
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: around me because they were like, you're not trying to like,

344
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: you're not going to outsmart us, you're not even gonna

345
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: meet us. So this is like nice. We just this

346
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: dynamic is exactly what it's supposed to be. You're a

347
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: weird child and I'm grown up.

348
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 4: That's what I wanted to hear you say because that

349
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 4: my dad always told me my plan B could be

350
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 4: if comedy ended up not working out, which he was

351
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 4: supportive of, but he said the other option is to

352
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 4: get a normal job, like he worked in government and

353
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 4: he was funny all the time. That's how he showed

354
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 4: power over people, so that he was sarcastic and funny,

355
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 4: and it would like intimidate. He did it in a

356
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: certain way. It's a style of comedy. But he always

357
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: told me like, or you could get a regular job

358
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 4: and be funny there. But primarily he wanted me to

359
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: keep doing comedy, which is I'm lucky to have that

360
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 4: kind of support.

361
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's really nice.

362
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: You've finished school, like not that long ago, right was

363
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: it in twenty sixteen? Yeah, and you're because you what

364
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: you've done already. I just is a list of things

365
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 4: that intimidate me, like McSweeney's and just the name of

366
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 4: that college I didn't know, and what anything about it?

367
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: I knew that college that that name intimidates me.

368
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: And uh so you can go there if you want to.

369
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's all girls as women's girls.

370
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: It is a women's college.

371
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: Are we not supposed to sail girls.

372
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: I don't know.

373
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: All female. All female.

374
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't know either. We were all getting in trouble.

375
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Girly girl, tiny girls, the little time.

376
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: He wants go to school because they're so smart.

377
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're talking about this in these terms.

378
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a college. It's a college for the daintiest,

379
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: tiniest girl.

380
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: You have to walk around campus with books on your head,

381
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: balancing books on your head the entire time. Yeah, people

382
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: love fucking college. On the East Coast, they loved they

383
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: love it like it's a big deal. Yeah, in California

384
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: it's a little less. It's a little more locy goosy

385
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: out here. I think people are just like, maybe if

386
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: you went to Stanford.

387
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: And in Montana, it's like, I guess I'll go to college.

388
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 4: I lost my really good job at the paper mill.

389
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: It's like, but you kept showing up to the paper mill.

390
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: I like the smell.

391
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 4: I secretly was just nonchalantly sniffing glue.

392
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: You pick up raw paper, and like, if only there

393
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: are a bunch of words on this, it would teach

394
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: me something.

395
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: Yes, amazing, what if I found these?

396
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get on the ground floor of bookmaking.

397
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 3: Not the writing.

398
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: I like the construction of books, the binding, you know,

399
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 4: not binding.

400
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: And fully and sincerely. I just watched a video the

401
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: other day of someone doing bookbinding and that one last

402
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,880

00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: to cut like all the pages at once. Ooh that

404
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: feels good. Yeah, just like cutting that whole.

405
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: And it's so smooth, it's so sis.

406
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

407
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: And sometimes it's curved. How do they do that? Was

00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: that in the video where it's curved?

409
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh, like old old books.

410
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: I'll just keep doing this with my hand because that

411
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 4: makes for good podcast.

412
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: Curved verticular, like if the implant stayed in the right direction, curved,

413
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: curved direct.

414
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're describing. You're describing a beautiful woman. You're not

415
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: describing a paper cutter.

416
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're right. I was doing the figure rate

417

Speaker 3: He left it, yeah in the envelope today saying the

420
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: wrong thing.

421
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: So what happened after you graduated from college? Let's let's

422
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: get the whole storyline, your full origin story.

423
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's happened so quickly, it seems.

424
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I after I graduated college, I like two

425
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: weeks later, moved out to LA and I applied to

426
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: a million assistant jobs and they all said no, thank you,

427
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: and they were correct. I it would not be good

428
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: at that.

429
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: But it's hard.

430
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's really hard. It's like a you have

431
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: to be like organized and you have to be smart

432
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: to do that.

433
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: Oh big time.

434
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

435
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: And so then I I became a nanny and I

436
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: love kids, so it was super super fun. I nanny

437
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: Day's seven year old boy who was like so sweet.

438
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: And then there was like one day where I was like,

439
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: should I maybe I like put a some effort and

440
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: I asked him. I was like, do you want like

441
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: a playdate with your friend? And he looked at me

442
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: and said, I want to just sit and chat.

443
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, sit in chat And.

444
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: My favorite thing is that. Like then when we did,

445
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: you know, sit down to have a chat, he was like,

446
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: what do you want to talk about?

447
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: Classy?

448
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: I yeah.

449
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: I remember I was greeted at the door of a

450
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: house a party I went to and it was a

451
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 4: ten year old kid and he said, can I get

452
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: you anything to drink? He just water, But it was

453
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 4: it seemed like the most I love kids when they

454
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 4: say grown up things.

455
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: It's it's it's so funny because I mean when now

456
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: if you talk to like a five or six year old,

457
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: like those are pandemic kids, like they learned all of

458
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: their social in action at home with adults. And so

459
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: like my friend her daughter like went to preschool in

460
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: person for the first time, and it was reported back

461
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: to her after the first day that apparently she like

462
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: went around saying, may I play with you? And my

463
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: friend was like, that's so scary. Yeah, the children were like,

464
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, not looking. Some of them just like took

465
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: off their shirt because that's what children do.

466
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: This is so interesting because one of my biggest concerns,

467
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 4: other than elderly people in care not being visited because

468
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: of COVID, was little kids not being able to play

469
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: and go outside and yeah and get in trouble and

470
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 4: ride bikes and blow stuff up with fireworks. But what

471
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: if statistically it means that it is the highest performance

472
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: that two year in the developmental stage the people at

473
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: are homeschooled. We just find out that it makes these geniuses.

474
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called the polite generation.

475
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, just really good conversationalist, just very generous and very

476
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 2: emotionally intelligent.

477
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: Well, my neighbor. My neighbor's kid is five, and he

478
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: is the same exact way where I saw him like

479
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: right outside the garage and he was like he said

480
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: to me, he was like, you have to come over,

481
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: and I was and I was like, what what do

482
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: you mean And he was like, We've got a lot

483
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: of toys. You got to see him.

484
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: Get your ass over here.

485
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: It was like, there is a couch with your name

486
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: on it.

487
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: Girls, sit down and spill it. Well, it makes sense

488
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: to me because I think little kids, especially that age

489
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: like five and six, adult attention is like kind of

490
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 2: hard to come by sometimes. So when there's like when

491
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: you can give a kid focused attention and literally like

492
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: have a conversation or make them tell you a story

493
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: or whatever, that is like they love that the most,

494
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: right Yeah. I mean like there's some kids are like

495
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: get it away from me, minecraft or whatever, but there's

496
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: definitely those kids that are like, yeah, I would love

497
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: like an adult who basically give me the floor and

498
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 2: I get listened to the way I have to listen

499
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: to you assholes all day long. That's how I always

500
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: felt as a kid, where I'm just like, yeah, yep, yeap,

501
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: I've got some good shit to tell you about what

502
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: happened at school today, Like let's wrap it up, it's

503
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: my turn, ye.

504
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: And it's so funny that age, they're also like putting

505
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: on kind of adult behaviors and they're sort of trying

506
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: things out. So like I have another friend who because

507
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: in LA you have to like interview or like temp

508
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: at preschool before you get in. But she like took

509
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: her daughter to like a kindergarten interview, and her daughter

510
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: right out the gate told the interviewer, girl, I love

511
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: your shoes.

512
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: In Yeah, I mean, what more do you want from

513
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: a child?

514
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: I know? And then everyone started laughing and then immediate tears.

515
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Everyone's laughing at me, everyone's laughing at you.

516
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's great.

517
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Like when kids are all excited it's their

518
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 4: birthday and the cake comes and they're about to blow

519
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: out the candle and everyone sings and they just burst

520
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: into tears. There's entire that's like series of YouTube videos

521
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: that I've.

522
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: Watched, like I don't true though, I don't like this

523
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: attention from this.

524
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you think you want the attention because it's

525
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: like when the birthday cake is coming at you. You're

526
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: in a dark room. Suddenly someone turned out all the lights.

527
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: No one's looking at you, everyone's looking at the cake.

528
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: And then the cake slowly gets brought to you until

529
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: it's right under your face. And then everyone's staring at

530
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: you now, and what you're going to do with this

531
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: cakeated by flame? Yes it's hot, suddenly it's hot, and

532
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: all their children crowding on either side of you. It's sinister.

533
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: And then adults sing the most poorly written song music.

534
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: No one wants to hear it, No one wants to

535
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 3: sing it.

536
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 4: Only Tgi Fridays was smart enough to write a new one.

537
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 4: And yet we all sing the worst song in history,

538
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 4: next to a couple songs by Third Eye Blind.

539
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: Sorry take that Third Eye Blind.

540
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: I feel the same way. But about our national anthem,

541
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: I think it's the worst. Like do not expect a

542
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: group of people to hit and the rockets red glare,

543
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: We just as a country are revealed to be awful

544
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: singers because suddenly we're all having sing this very complicated song.

545
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: It's a hard it's hard to sing. I've seen amazing

546
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 4: singers mass that up.

547
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's all over the map. It's like Wade,

548
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: it starts down't here, then it's nuts.

549
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: So it's nuts. And also like my favorite moment is

550
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: when like the panic starts to set in of we

551
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: started too high.

552
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh man, I experienced that ye lately at

553
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: my nearby karaoke.

554
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Stop you do the national anthem and it sounds good.

555
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: Followed by it and the people love that Happy Birthdays

556
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: right behind it.

557
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, one two punch and I don't even attempt it.

558
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: When I see how high it's going, I'm like, ah,

559
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: fuck it, I tried it.

560
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: I just stop, you know, switch into your head voice

561
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: and go no, I go immediately into interpretive dance, which

562
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: no one expects. I honestly, you guys have to look

563
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: up or if you haven't seen it, you may have

564
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: seen it already. You know who can sing a perfect

565
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: national anthem as Jack Black? And he there's a video

566
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: of him on YouTube doing it, and I think it's

567
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: the early two thousands, probably it was a while ago,

568
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: and he's doing it at the beginning of a basketball

569
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: game for a basketball team I've never seen before, so

570
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: perhaps not a California team.

571
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: Was it the MTV Rock and Jock b Bald Jam.

572
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: Yes, just as a real game. Sorry, but you have

573
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: to see it because he well he has that range,

574
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: but he sings it because he, you know, was a

575
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: really good singer and he was in a lot of

576
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: musicals in high school and stuff. He fucking nails it, like,

577
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: and the crowd is so relieved, like there's some deep

578
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: discomfort where no one's had enough beer yet to not

579
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: feel when somebody's suffering under like that really is. People

580
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: feel that pain when even when it's even slightly off

581
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: a little bit, it's hard.

582
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: And then they take it to the court and it

583
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: affects team play. Yes, that community started by witnessing pain.

584
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: Why fundamentals go right out the goddamn window.

585
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: I want to band singing all together. I just turned

586
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: to the dad from Piddlers. It's bad for sports.

587
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: It gets everybody all riled up, I guess everyone.

588
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: And then and then they're just bummed out. So they're

589
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: just like now dribbling and walking across the what's the

590
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: fucking point, my legs.

591
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: Are so heavy? Yeah, suddenly I'm exhausted.

592
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: Nothing sadder than a crying man dribbling.

593
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's just you just gotta run the clock out. Yeah,

594
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: And you're like, we all we all started off like

595
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: that singer is still here, and it's really it's really

596
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: drained the energy out.

597
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: What if you fucking like just eight ship trying to

598
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: sing the national anthem at a national sport game and

599
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: then you had to go sit in your seat like

600
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: in the row soup, just sit there like you love

601
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: it for an hour, knowing that you basically started off wrong,

602
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: and everyone it like blames you for the bad energy.

603
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,479
Speaker 2: And then you're just like here I am in my

604
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: the ribbons in my hair, like yeah, big smile, Now

605
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.

606
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: Have some fun.

607
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: The camera keeps zooming in on you and showing you

608
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: on the screen so everyone could shake their heads, remembering

609
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 4: how you're saying terribly.

610
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the headline the next day just like

611
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: weird energy on court, like weird energy settling. Yeah, everyone

612
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: a little off.

613
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: I failed to tempt at pais.

614
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: Another thing that I only know smart people to be

615
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 4: involved with is mc sweeney's.

616
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: How did that happen? Was that I just.

617
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Started like submitting stuff to them when I was in college,

618
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: and then eventually and then eventually one stuck. That's I

619
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: wore them out.

620
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: How many did you submit? Over one hundred less than five.

621
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Over fifteen, less than five, and.

622
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: She's a Wellesley girl.

623
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm a.

624
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: Dainty little Wellesley.

625
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm the tiniest girl you've ever seen.

626
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: But don't worry.

627
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: She has good posture, she can still tye, and good

628
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 4: pomp and circumstance.

629
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: I have three mixed Sweeney's anthologies on my head that

630
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I balance.

631
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: Someday, and it's like, through osmosis, you get there.

00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 4: Think about it, man, so trippy, just like go to

733
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 4: met me, but good job graduating in twenty sixteen. Like

734
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 4: what if I, especially in the last two years, if

735
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: I think of what I've done in the time.

736
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: That you've done all.

737
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: This, it's let's just not talk about it. I'm just saying,

738
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 4: good job. I think that happened so fast for you.

739
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I am incredibly lucky like that. It happened

740
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: because I just had a lot of people in my corner,

741
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: and my first few years in LA I almost exclusively

742
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: made friends with people over forty And I don't really

743
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: know why or how that you know what, Actually it

744
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: happened because the mom of the kid I nannyied. She

745
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: and I got really close and she's also TV writer,

746
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: and so then she like introduced me to all her

747
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: friends and as a result, like I would say, the

748
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: median age of my engagement party was like sixty five.

749
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: Oh, that's terrific.

750
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 4: It's perfect. I have my same with me, but for

751
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: different reasons. It's because I started golfing. I have a

752
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 4: lot of older friends.

753
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how often do golf?

754
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: Oh I'm not as much as I used to, but

755
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: three or four times a week, like I got addicted

756
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 4: to it. And then my skateboarder friends are like eighteen

757
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 4: to twenty four. It's just I think it's important to

758
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 4: have that many friends.

759
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: But full range.

760
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good range.

761
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 4: I think it's luck even though you met those people.

762
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: It sounds like the fact that you kept submitting. I

763
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 4: think most comic or what I'm afraid of personally is

764
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: being told you're not good enough or hearing I create

765
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 4: my own obstacles because I'm so scared to get shot

766
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 4: down that I that's what's kept me from doing that.

767
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 3: It sounds like you weren't scared to do that.

768
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: I will say that, like I've never really obviously like

769
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: rejection is a bummer because it's rejection. But I really

770
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: wasn't like afraid of rejection. And I think it was

771
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: because early on, like my parents were so mad at

772
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: me that it was like, what you're gonna reject me?

773
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: My mom just did, You're not gonna You're not gonna

774
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: like meet her level. You're not going to get up

775
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: there in terms of rejection.

776
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: That's funny.

777
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 4: That lines up perfectly because I had both my parents'

778
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: full support and approval when I went into comedy, so

779
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 4: they believed in me, So why should I you know?

780
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: I yeah, I do think that the kind of the

781
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: special sauce was that my parents were like mean to

782
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: me some of the time.

783
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 2: Also, I mean, there there's really something to be said

784
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 2: for that idea that you went in thinking you were

785
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: going to have one plan right and then seeing it,

786
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: feeling it, knowing it isn't right, calling it early enough,

787
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: taking the heat early enough, because that's a huge fucking deal.

788
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: When you have like legacy doctor shit in your family,

789
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot of pressure. And there's also that kind

790
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: of thing. Nobody in my family expected me to do anything,

791
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 2: like they were just like hopefully, you know, hopefully she'll

792
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: get through college and I didn't. But but it's that

793
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: idea of like you have to you have to know

794
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: what's like when I went to college and I was

795
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: just kind of like a theater major, I was just like,

796
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: I fucking hate this and I hate school. None of

797
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: this feels like it's what I should be doing. And

798
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: then I got kicked out for having a bad really

799
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 2: low GPA, and that's and I was like, I'm going

800
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 2: to turn this around by doing stand up comedy, which

801
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: is like the worst solution, Like this is a non solution.

802
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: And now that's your advice.

803
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: Yes exactly, It's like, but what my advice is, like,

804
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: know your gut well enough to not force yourself to

805
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 2: do something that you know for a fact isn't going

806
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: to give you that like life energy thing. For me,

807
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: listening to you talk about that, it's just like you

808
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: just did the thing of like you took all that

809
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: doctor pre med energy and laser focused it toward comedy writing,

810
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: you know what.

811
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: That's I think that's exactly what I did, because I

812
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: also like, I didn't start writing comedy. I was like,

813
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: you know, I was always a fan of comedy and

814
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: I really liked, you know, to be funny, and which

815
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: as a teenager exhausting. That sucks. When a teen wants

816
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: to be funny.

817
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: That sucks.

818
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 2: It's very national anthem going bad vibes.

819
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: It's very national anthem going poorly. But it won't stop.

820
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: It just won't stop, and the singer thinks it's going amazing, Yes,

821
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I you know, I think a couple of things.

822
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: I realized that the thing that I was studying, you know,

823
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: doing pre med, going to med school, I would then

824
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: have to become a doctor. And I was like, I

825
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: don't think I want to do that, which you know, again,

826
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: if if you're not like passionate about being a physician,

827
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: people could die, right, And I've only killed two people

828
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: doing comedy, right, I wouldn't.

829
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: Bring that up. Yeah, well under the bridge, we're all

830
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: over it. We're over it. It was fine.

831
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Karen, you're exactly right that that

832
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: I used a lot of that energy. I used all

833
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 1: of that energy towards like teaching myself how to write comedy,

834
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: because I started writing comedy like my first jokes and

835
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: my first like comedy pieces nine years ago. And I

836
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: was every single night I was after I was done

837
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: with all of my like pre med homework, I would

838
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: go sit in the library until one am, and every

839
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: single night I would write for at least three hours.

840
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: And so I have pages of garbage. Yeah, it sucks

841
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: so hard. Those now double as my suicide.

842
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: Not no, but you have to have that shit at

843
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 2: the beginning, right, It's almost you have to get that,

844
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: you have to clear that out you have to practice it.

845
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: I mean that's also amazing because I think you just

846
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: to kind of applied that, like how like the seriousness

847
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: and how to succeed in school to a thing that

848
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people. I know, for myself,

849
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: writing is difficult in that way where it is so

850
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 2: much about discipline and it is so much about getting

851
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 2: out of the way and just being like here, tell me, o,

852
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: muse what is going to come next? And getting out

853
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 2: of the way. But we all tell ourselves there's creativity

854
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: or this, or you have all your processes and you

855
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: get all ego about it. But it's like that journeyman approach,

856
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: like you know, you've kind of proven that to be

857
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: where it's just like, yeah, put in the Malcolm Gladwell

858
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: style hours, because that's what it takes.

859
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: That's what I was. I guess at the time, I

860
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: was like, what if I did the ten thousand hours today?

861
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 3: Wow?

862
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: And so on one day? Yeah.

863
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it made several mathematicians kill themselves.

864
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 4: Is there anything you want to plug or oh, how

865
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 4: about the short film that Billy meets Lisa Simpson short?

866
00:46:58,600 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 3: Did you write that?

867
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was part of a group of people who

868
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: wrote that. Yeah, I just.

869
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 4: Looked for it and I couldn't find it, so I

870
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 4: wondered if it had come out or how do you

871
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 4: watch it?

872
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on Disney Plus. I'd love to take this

873
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: time to plug Disney Plus. You can get the bunder.

878
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: friend Dylan Galula, who is super, super funny. She and

879
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 1: I co host a podcast called Lecture Hall, where it's

880
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: on it's impossible to find. It's only on Patreon, and

881
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: we spend a lot of so the the objective of

882
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: the show was always that we like we each learn

883
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: something new and then teach it to the other person it.

884
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 3: That's great, that's a great idea.

885
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. I do a poor job of it. I

886
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: do a really bad job. I'm on the Wikipedia page

887
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: during recording. So if you want to learn stuff, I

888
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: don't really recommend it. But if you want to have,

889
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: if you want to hear, if you want more of

890
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: this energy, I guess head over to Patreon. Did I

891
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: do the job? Plug it?

892
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: Excuse Me, voted one of the fifteen best educational podcasts

893
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 4: to Expand your Mind by Oprah Oprah herself.

894
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm a huge fan of the podcast.

895
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 3: That's another.

896
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: She loves.

897
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it did get it got bad enough because Dylan

898
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: is the one who, like she really prepares and then

899
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: during the podcast, I'll sometimes just be like, well, what

900
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: do you want to know about this thing? And then

901
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: just kind of look it up as we're as we're talking.

902
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: So what kind of things have you taught each other

903
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: so far?

904
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: So we have taught each other about like our most

905
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:23,000

Speaker 3: I don't have a podcast.

909
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a podcast. The Patreon link is actually

913
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: for this cause it's Disney Plus.

914
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 3: They've struggled for what did.

915
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: We Yeah, And I just want to show my appreciation,

916
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,680

00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 4: my sister.

919
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: I know it's a good trick.

920
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: Question my sister is always like mentioning things that we

921
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 4: just talked about, and I have no memory for real.

922
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 2: Anytime that happens, someone goes, oh, you're your conversation, you

923
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 2: guys whatever. The most recent one was my friend Jason

924
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: is like my stage mother and listens to every episode.

925
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: He was like, that conversation was great. I literally sat

926
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: there like staring into space, like I couldn't think of one.

927
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 2: How was it great?

928
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 4: As soon as we log off, I take a nap

929
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 4: or just crawling.

930
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: He's telling you about your latest episode, and you're just

931
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 1: kind of like foaming at the mouse.

932
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like what silent?

933
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: What did I say?

934
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: All right?

935
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: Great plug that?

936
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Broth, you're the you're the best.

937
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, you guys are thank you so much for

938
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: having me on. So I just figured out what the

939
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: latest thing we taught each other was. Okay, she taught

940
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: me okay, she taught me about monogamy and animals, and

941
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: I taught her about hands across America.

942
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was like ten years old when

943
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 2: that happened.

944
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: It was witness the craziest thing. What a wild concept.

945
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: Yes, insane, pointless. Also hard to track back then because

946
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 2: that was back when there was only three channels. So

947
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: I remember asking my parents of like, hey, when's this

948
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 2: going to be on? And they're like, we don't know

949
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Because there would be commercials for

950
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: it during like cartoon time when we would come home

951
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: from school and like watch cartoons for a while, and

952
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: they'd be like and there was a whole song, and

953
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: they would like they promoted it, like you could go

954
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 2: participate in it, but then there was no word about

955
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: like what's the local chapter, like where do we meet

956
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: at the library? Like it was. It was presented as

957
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 2: like guys, we've got a plan as a nation, and

958
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 2: we're all going to go hold hands, but then that

959
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: was there was no follow up in my life.

960
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems risky. That's risky behavior. I remember the song.

961
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 4: I remember the logo. I still don't know what it is.

962
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 4: You actually go outside and hand hold hands with the

963
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 4: whole town across you.

964
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you had to pay ten dollars for your

965
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: place in the line. And they was getting rich, so

966
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 1: they it was supposed to be like a yeah, everyone

967
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: paid for their own Disney Plus subscription, but they said

968
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: they were like we're gonna make like fifty million dollars

969
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: for like, uh, to combat like poverty and homelessness in

970
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: the US. They did not make that much money. They

971
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: made like ten million dollars like if even And I

972
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: think the like the birth of the idea was that

973
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: a guy who was involved with We Are the World

974
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: just like said he just said, outline, what if everybody

975
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: held hands across the country. And then someone was like,

976
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: that sounds so impossible, that it's possible, and then they

977
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: which is like, so two insane people set insane sentences

978
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: at each other and they made it everyone else's problem.

979
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 2: And if you wrote those down and you put them

980
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 2: into a stoner movie, there would be two perfect stoner

981
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: lines for people who just got really high and to

982
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 2: say to each other and then and take it seriously,

983
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 2: like how could drugs not have been involved in that plan?

984
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

985
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 2: Where it's like how just I used to think about

986
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: it so much because I lived in the North Bay

987
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: and the in near San Francisco, the Bay area. But

988
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 2: I was like, how are we going to Like my

989
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: cousins live in Millbray and we live up in Petaluma,

990
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 2: But there's no way this chain is going, Like it's

991
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 2: not going north, south, east, and west, like they're gonna

992
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 2: it can only be one line. So look, where wouldever

993
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna meet.

994
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's all these rivers and lakes and stuff. How

995
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 3: do you deal with that? Boats?

996
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: They also didn't account for like the desert.

997
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 2: Right, I mean it would have to go up. It

998
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: would basically have to start in like southern Oregon to

999
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: go across through Wyoming, because if you go anywhere above

1000
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 2: that are below it, you're either boiling hot or freezing cold. Yes, right,

1001
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: you'd have to go straight through the middle. I actually

1002
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,959
Speaker 2: want to map this out now. And now I'm gonna

1003
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: have to go. I'm gonna have to give you five

1004
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 2: dollars for Patreon and listen to this goddamn episode.

1005
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're gonna have to do that, and

1006
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry and advance.

1007
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,560
