Speaker 1: kind of a person am I? I'm just admitting that
Speaker 1: it's so hot.
Speaker 2: Well, you know you can go at six am I'm
Speaker 2: my friend.
Speaker 1: So now you've sold me on it. I love anything
Speaker 1: you mean, like fishing. The reason I've never fished in
Speaker 1: the town referenced RoverShot.
Speaker 2: Get up with the bread trucks and go fight against
Speaker 2: AI in this city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, it is. I love anything that's a
Speaker 1: fight against the robots.
Speaker 2: Now, listen, I haven't gone either, But that is because
Speaker 2: I have a nine to seven job every day, and
Speaker 2: because I did the last one thinglessly when there was
Speaker 2: when no one was covering it on social media and
Speaker 2: nobody gave a shit and it was really awful, right.
Speaker 1: And I don't have excuses, So now you've made me
Speaker 1: feel worse. Oh no, no, it's okay.
Speaker 2: I have a job too, Is it this podcast?
Speaker 1: No? I think you know. I'm working towards an amateur
Speaker 1: golf career. I can't think of anything right now. I
Speaker 1: was just you did get that. I was in Montana,
Speaker 1: in a part of Montana where all the wealthy people move,
Speaker 1: justin Timberlake and everyone, oh yeah. And I always wondered,
Speaker 1: why isn't that Missoula? Why is Missoula still the kind
Speaker 1: of stayed the same. And I was in this golf
Speaker 1: tournament in the mountains and it was the most beautiful.
Speaker 1: It is a part of Montana I've never even experienced,
Speaker 1: because when are you ever brought up to the top
Speaker 1: of the mountains that looks like an Ansel Adams photo
Speaker 1: except in color and moving so like an Ansel Adams video,
Speaker 1: his lesser known work. But it is. It was such
Speaker 1: an experience on a course that was where you would
Speaker 1: hit the ball three hundred yards onto a little patch
Speaker 1: of grass that was a football field down and then
Speaker 1: from there hit it again down like you're playing down
Speaker 1: a mountain. It was like hiking, and it was the
Speaker 1: most beautiful terrain and an interesting way to experience it
Speaker 1: because you're watching the flight of a ball. I was,
Speaker 1: I'm still riding on a cloud er. So, for lack
Speaker 1: of a better term, it was the funnest, coolest, most beautiful.
Speaker 2: Well, let me just ask you, so, how did you
Speaker 2: get to the top of the mountain to be hitting
Speaker 2: it down?
Speaker 1: I drove that we're already at Big Sky the resort,
Speaker 1: and then the Big brothers and Big sisters. It was
Speaker 1: not a tournament this time. It was just comedians golfing together. Oh,
Speaker 1: but everyone was a little better than me, and it
Speaker 1: is a course where they've had professional tournaments, so it's
Speaker 1: exceedingly hard even for professionals. So I lost probably ten
Speaker 1: balls in the grass, which means you have to drop
Speaker 1: a ball and that's a stroke. And I played terribly.
Speaker 1: But for me, I played okay. But it was the
Speaker 1: most beautiful. It's kind of like you got to go
Speaker 1: to Italy and this I'm I'm having that post vacation.
Speaker 1: I keep thinking, I wish I took more photos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the most euphorically beautiful.
Speaker 2: Wow, so Big Sky Montana.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. The course was called Moonlight Basin and
Speaker 1: people pay a quarter of a million dollars to be
Speaker 1: a member. It is like Jesus, Yeah, it was people.
Speaker 1: It is golf in the way that turned everyone away
Speaker 1: from it kind of a you know, it's for rich people, richies, Yeah,
Speaker 1: among other things. There's other describing words, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to get all political. It's what has turned me
Speaker 1: off from golf until I discovered La Municipal.
Speaker 2: Golf, Oh, which is the people's golf.
Speaker 1: Get's the people's golf. And sure there's dirty areas in
Speaker 1: the green, but it's all a waste of water and
Speaker 1: it's men playing in a park. But I Uh, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I'm still confronted by how much.
Speaker 2: Fun I have now what other comedians got invited.
Speaker 1: There is a comedian named Mark Small's who is part
Speaker 1: of something called country Club Adjacent, which they've gotten popular.
Speaker 1: They heckle professional golfers as they swing and it's pretty funny,
Speaker 1: oh to watch that, and they've kind of blown up
Speaker 1: on YouTube. So he's sort of a golf celebrity. Wait,
Speaker 1: but he's a comic that opened for He's a Bay
Speaker 1: Area skateboarder.
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question? Is he the guy
Speaker 2: that posts TikTok videos where he walks around golf tournaments
Speaker 2: and heckles people that are standing around. Yes, so he's like,
Speaker 2: looks like a violist day for you guys that kind
Speaker 2: of like really good jokes. Yes, that guy's.
Speaker 1: Genius and he was very good at stand up. Like
Speaker 1: when I watched him he was opening for me in
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and I'm like, Oh, that guy's great, but
Speaker 1: he has gotten You can tell he has the juice,
Speaker 1: as they say in the hip hop industry, and you
Speaker 1: can see it on stage. He's so comfortable. James Davis
Speaker 1: is a golfer comedian who writes on a lot of shows.
Speaker 1: He was very good. Nate Craig has gotten ten times better,
Speaker 1: and I've maintained at the level I've always been. So
Speaker 1: it was a great fun show, nice motivating because everyone
Speaker 1: was really good and it was fair charity and these
Speaker 1: people were like donation wealthy folks and they were opened
Speaker 1: all of our liberal slants and they were sweet and
Speaker 1: it was very, very fun.
Speaker 2: I loved it, all of our liberal slants. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: do you golf first or did you stand up first?
Speaker 1: Yes, it was a long day. We're at like seven
Speaker 1: thousand feet it's.
Speaker 2: One or the other.
Speaker 1: Yes, I will answer. First. We golfed first, and then
Speaker 1: I didn't. I took a cold shower, and then we
Speaker 1: had a comedy show.
Speaker 2: Great, got it.
Speaker 1: So it was a rough day and I didn't use
Speaker 1: the bathroom to its full potential for about four days.
Speaker 1: But I'm okay now, and I'm not here to tell
Speaker 1: those kinds.
Speaker 2: Of great yea perfect.
Speaker 1: I was constipated, but I because of altitude.
Speaker 2: No one cares.
Speaker 1: I know, and I already said I wouldn't twice.
Speaker 2: I know you've almost promised you borderline wanted to.
Speaker 1: Be a doctor. Okay, these things interest me, especially things
Speaker 1: of the coland of your own Yes, my own coland
Speaker 1: I do a lot. I take my homework with me. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're driving, How are you What have you been doing well?
Speaker 2: My family came into town right after your family was
Speaker 2: in town.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it.
Speaker 2: Was just kind of a little getaway and it just
Speaker 2: so happened. That is that guy walking around with like
Speaker 2: a dialysis machine.
Speaker 1: I think because he's dressed in scrubs, it's the delivery
Speaker 1: of a machine.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, for a second, I was like, please
Speaker 2: don't tell me. He's just on the street with that machine.
Speaker 1: Ok, that's regular luggage. She's just going on a flight
Speaker 1: and wearing his scrubs to give respect.
Speaker 2: For the way you sometimes do because you wanted to
Speaker 2: be a doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why about my military uniform.
Speaker 2: That's illegal, Yes it is. So they my family came down,
Speaker 2: and it was my sister did the thing of like,
Speaker 2: don't worry about us, We'll just about be in the
Speaker 2: pool whatever, where I'm like great, because I will be
Speaker 2: in that room on zooms all day long. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then I would come out at like six o'clock and
Speaker 2: just dive directly into the pool. And the second night
Speaker 2: that they were here, and Adrian came to and then
Speaker 2: the second night that they were here, my cousin Stevie,
Speaker 2: who's kind of like my older brother, and his wife
Speaker 2: and his daughter all came because he was at a
Speaker 2: conference in San Diego, so they all came down to
Speaker 2: meet because that's where her family's from. Whatever. Everyone met
Speaker 2: at my house and it just turned into this. During
Speaker 2: the day, Laura, Adriana and Nora, and then Kim and Sophie,
Speaker 2: they all went to the Getty Center. They came back.
Speaker 2: It was boiling hot. They came back my sister goes,
Speaker 2: I don't like art, and then they got in they
Speaker 2: doesn't like art, and then we all get into the pool.
Speaker 2: I was done at a reasonable hour that day. And
Speaker 2: then people started drinking champagne. And then my cousin showed
Speaker 2: up from San Diego and he was basically just feeding
Speaker 2: us as we all swam in the pool, and they
Speaker 2: drank and that's dangerous, it is. And by the time
Speaker 2: my sister got out of the pool, and I think
Speaker 2: she'd be okay with me telling the story, but who
Speaker 2: really knows. We had been in there for five hours,
Speaker 2: swimming and talking and drinking. I wasn't drinking, but they were,
Speaker 2: and she was drunk and she had to walk and
Speaker 2: just go straight to bed because she was so like
Speaker 2: she was. I don't know what happened. And I go,
Speaker 2: I do you swam for fun? You literally swam around
Speaker 2: the pool for five hours?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What is it about water adding to the the
Speaker 1: dehydration or they Yeah, it's because.
Speaker 2: You're that's like cardio, that's twice as strong as normal.
Speaker 1: Cardios surprise cardio.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, and then you're just you know, kind
Speaker 2: of doing a liver rintse as you do it. Sure,
Speaker 2: so you know that's going to affect you a little bit.
Speaker 2: But it was very fun and there was one point
Speaker 2: where everyone was talking at the same time. Literally everyone
Speaker 2: was talking at the same time because we were all talking
Speaker 2: about like some childhood story and it was just like
Speaker 2: in the pool and it just felt really summertime fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's so you have achieved one of our
Speaker 1: checklists of hot hot girl summer or whatever we're calling
Speaker 1: that summer. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a true hot girl summer moment where
Speaker 2: there was like seven hot girls in the pool being
Speaker 2: served by a man. Barbie and her movie would be
Speaker 2: so proud.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's a movie I have not yet seen,
Speaker 1: but I am open to it.
Speaker 2: I haven't either. I'm not surprised that you're open to it.
Speaker 2: That's good to hear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the trailer is not what I expected. It looks great.
Speaker 2: I know. I've seen some clips on TikTok that have
Speaker 2: made me cry where I'm like, yeah, I gotta go
Speaker 2: see this pretty much immediately. But yeah, it's great and
Speaker 2: makes that with all the striking this world is, we're
Speaker 2: going through hard times, but there's so many reasons to
Speaker 2: be optimistic and that change can happen.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and it will happen. I feel optimistic. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is taking a long time.
Speaker 2: I mean hundreds of years.
Speaker 1: I've heard of, no negotiations. I will see anything. I
Speaker 1: really have become a Marco Robbie Marco Robbie Margo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of her, not a big enough
Speaker 1: fan to pronounce the name correctly. And of course I
Speaker 1: like Jill and All Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, yeah, I always
Speaker 1: call him Jill and Hall. But I just wanted to
Speaker 1: bring him up as a person who adjacently. I am
Speaker 1: also somewhat attracted to What if I just dove out
Speaker 1: of the car right now out of embarrassment.
Speaker 2: I like, I think any actor that's in his late thirties,
Speaker 2: you should call him Jill and Hall. Just whoever comes
Speaker 2: to mind.
Speaker 1: It just came out of my mouth. Why it's two
Speaker 1: guys that I'd like to just hang out with at
Speaker 1: a pool park.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, watch them wear a sweater.
Speaker 1: Like a two headed sweater that they wear together. Oh,
Speaker 1: would be great. That's what I did shows in Austin
Speaker 1: with my friend Doug Millard, and at the end, as
Speaker 1: we were ringing in the New Year, which I messed up.
Speaker 1: Of course I wasn't looking at the right clock or
Speaker 1: any clock really. He and I put on a two
Speaker 1: headed sweater and we just it was very bizarre. It
Speaker 1: made for a good photo.
Speaker 2: Oh good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm a big fan of the two headed
Speaker 1: sweater prank. Absolutely any sweater prank. Really, sweater pranks totally unsung. Yeah,
Speaker 1: should be more out there. My second favorite, No, I
Speaker 1: swear it's not wool. You don't need to wear a
Speaker 1: T shirt under it, and then you make someoney itchy.
Speaker 1: Oh there's so many sweater pranks.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. That one's amazing. Just to just kind
Speaker 2: of a slow burner that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, over the course of an evening, your friend is like,
Speaker 2: why would I listen to you about anything much less
Speaker 2: my own comfort level?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is. It is my favorite kind of prank,
Speaker 1: the one that takes twenty four hours and ends in
Speaker 1: a rash, just.
Speaker 2: A horrible I have a landlin allergy. They start screaming
Speaker 2: at you something like that. Oh but my sister, this
Speaker 2: was the story I was telling you in the driveway.
Speaker 2: My sister and Adrian pressured me into getting an bigger
Speaker 2: TV because the TV I had didn't fill up the
Speaker 2: space that the built ins. There's just a TV space
Speaker 2: that the guy made it big so that I could
Speaker 2: end up having the biggest TV.
Speaker 1: Oh, like a recessed rectangle in the wall.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, so the TV I had was just the
Speaker 2: TV I already had mounted in that space, so there
Speaker 2: was almost like a big white frame of wall behind it.
Speaker 2: And apparently that's been bothering both my sister and Adrian
Speaker 2: for a long time, and so finally they both just
Speaker 2: started yelling at me of like, just get a bigger
Speaker 2: fill it in and get it. And then I was
Speaker 2: just like, well, I guess I was waiting for this
Speaker 2: TV to break or something to happen, and they were like, don't.
Speaker 2: So I did what they said, and now I have
Speaker 2: a TV that looks like it should be on the
Speaker 2: wall above the bar at Buffalo Wild Wings. It's gigantic.
Speaker 2: It's gigantic.
Speaker 1: Visiting family will either make you rearrange your furniture or
Speaker 1: just pressure you. That's so funny. That's like an older
Speaker 1: sister pressure thing. Yes, yeah, of course it is.
Speaker 2: We're also because I'm not paying at it's like TV's TV.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at your phone, well, not really your
Speaker 2: phone but it's not that big of a deal. Whichever
Speaker 2: size you watch it all right to me anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But now that this gigantic ones here, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is a huge difference.
Speaker 1: Is it more enjoyable, is it picture better? Is it
Speaker 1: of a higher quality?
Speaker 2: I'm saving to turn it on until my friend is
Speaker 2: coming overnight to watch what we're calling a big TV movie.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, that makes sense. You don't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, turn it on for the first time and
Speaker 1: it be some infomercial, Yes, exactly, Yeah, for the full experience, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a premiere. You're having a TV television premiere tonight.
Speaker 2: We're premiering my TV right yeah. Because during the strike
Speaker 2: you can't promote or go to premiers, so we have
Speaker 2: to make do with our day to day life, right right, yep.
Speaker 2: So I think we're gonna watch Terminator two.
Speaker 1: It's a great Terminator. I think the better of them.
Speaker 1: Edward Furlong, I know he had his troubles later in life,
Speaker 1: but he was a great child actor and very good
Speaker 1: in that.
Speaker 2: An amazing child actor. Yeah, truly.
Speaker 1: He brought out the heart and the tears from a
Speaker 1: robot man.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it's very true. Although I have to say
Speaker 2: a lot of people make that audacious claim about T
Speaker 2: two versus T one, But I think The Terminator not
Speaker 2: only is one of the best like maybe sci fi
Speaker 2: or action movies, it's one of the best romance movies. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that whole thing where he finally explains to her what's
Speaker 2: going on is so romantic and beautiful.
Speaker 1: In T one.
Speaker 2: In T one, yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: He talked about that uh oh love scene as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe we have I'm confusing it for the salacious
Speaker 1: if that's the right word scene between Clooney and j Lo,
Speaker 1: and we did talk about that multiple times in that length,
Speaker 1: but the perfect Maybe it's just one of the only
Speaker 1: VHS's I had at a kid where it's like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, they could people in my own house.
Speaker 2: Out of sight you mean no?
Speaker 1: In T one, Oh yeah, there's nudity there is. You
Speaker 1: could see Linda from Beauty and the Beasts. I can't
Speaker 1: remember her last name. Yeah, Hamilton's body. That's a young kid.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We're clamoring when you don't have time to walk around
Speaker 1: in the woods and find a magazine clipping or you know,
Speaker 1: go into the eye off and would go in the
Speaker 1: Spiegel catalog. You know, the housewares and clothing would be
Speaker 1: one side. Then you flip it over and there's bras
Speaker 1: and you just do some.
Speaker 2: Catalog fake catalog shopping.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, in the closet. My mother just thought I
Speaker 1: was getting things online or but now I was clipping
Speaker 1: things out. And then I would put these pictures in
Speaker 1: my underwear drawer, and when my parents would leave, I
Speaker 1: would pull them out and look at them. And now,
Speaker 1: with the advent of technology, young children are learning that
Speaker 1: women too have nipples. But I didn't know that until
Speaker 1: I was at least in my teen years.
Speaker 2: You thought that the bras were covering the secret of
Speaker 2: not having nipples.
Speaker 1: Right, much like Barbie, I did not know about the
Speaker 1: intricacies because I'd only seen bra photos.
Speaker 2: Were and now were these I'm imagining the bras because
Speaker 2: that we would get into the bra section when we
Speaker 2: were looking through the toys in the Sears catalog.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: I have vivid memories, and so I always knew It's
Speaker 2: like basically, when toys were ending, that's when curtain started,
Speaker 2: which would get me super depressed. And then if you
Speaker 2: even went further where you're like well, I still feel
Speaker 2: like looking at something. Then you would start flipping into
Speaker 2: the bra section where the bras were like bullet bras
Speaker 2: from the fifties, like those weird pointy ones. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that I got upset where it's just like I don't
Speaker 2: want to have to wear a bra like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Alfred Hitchcock bra. Correct, the cups look
Speaker 1: like the Tingman's or the dancing ladies from the Nancy
Speaker 1: Sinatra song in Austin Powers yeah, or perhaps in Madonna.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of examples.
Speaker 2: I mean, sorry, everyone's doing whatever the fuck they want
Speaker 2: on venture today and I'm not into it. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was crazy what that guy just is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny how I just casually notice and then
Speaker 1: when I go home and drive with my dad if
Speaker 1: there's something any city behavior, like a honk, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: In a town of sixty five thousand, if someone honks,
Speaker 1: it is like fighting time, yes, whereas here it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm here, it's just a part of our you know.
Speaker 2: Here it is. This morning, I was at a light
Speaker 2: where the guy did the thing where the second the
Speaker 2: light turned green, he honked.
Speaker 1: That bothers me.
Speaker 2: It bothers me so much. It's almost like are you joking?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure it was the guy behind me,
Speaker 2: and I gave him a long look in the rear
Speaker 2: view mirror, but it's just like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: I feel like I do this a lot, and I
Speaker 1: feel like you could. You probably do it also, where
Speaker 1: if someone's mad, you just laugh and smile. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that always really gets in someone's craw.
Speaker 2: That puts you know whose craw really gets into mine?
Speaker 2: Because that is my family in a nutshell. Like any
Speaker 2: time you were angry, people would laugh at you, and
Speaker 2: it is so frustrating and so condescending, yeah, and so irritating,
Speaker 2: and so yeah, that's the first thing I do because
Speaker 2: it's like the best way to say fuck you.
Speaker 1: Essentially. It's worked forever. I remember when I was a
Speaker 1: kid and I'd try and throw a tantrum the few
Speaker 1: times apparently I was a great, perfect kid. Oh, but
Speaker 1: there is occasionally a time where I'd get upset and
Speaker 1: my dad would just kind of laugh at me, and
Speaker 1: then I'm like, Okay, I guess that doesn't work. Lesson
Speaker 1: learned forever, right, So yeah, if people are angry at you,
Speaker 1: bombard them with fake happiness.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty irritating. But also I can think
Speaker 2: of a couple times where I tried to like someone
Speaker 2: tried to talk to me about something important and then
Speaker 2: I was like, well, actually, I'm glad you brought that
Speaker 2: up because and then I say the thing I wanted
Speaker 2: to say, which was like they wanted to say here,
Speaker 2: I'd like to lodge a complaint with you. And it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm listening. And also, now that you're done with that,
Speaker 2: here's my complain about you. And that was the response,
Speaker 2: like laughing in my face like I was being insane.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Yes it was with a man. And it's like that
Speaker 2: kind of thing where it's like, what that's so lame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's passive aggress I don't recommend it for
Speaker 1: in person dealings. No, a stranger that's aggressive on the
Speaker 1: road where you'll never see them again.
Speaker 2: Perfect, Yes, yeah, also strangers who are being aggressive IRL
Speaker 2: to IRL is that the Ireland? In Ireland, if you're
Speaker 2: in Dublin and somebody's aggressive, just give them a beer.
Speaker 2: If you're in real life, I find that where there's
Speaker 2: definitely an uptick of like the kind of loud complainer,
Speaker 2: older person that is taken to the streets to because
Speaker 2: their brain's been poisoned by Fox News, so they're like,
Speaker 2: I don't have to do that. And suddenly it's a
Speaker 2: person that's yelling in a place that where no one
Speaker 2: is yelling or needs to yell.
Speaker 1: Right, my favorite video on Instagram or TikTok, Yeah.
Speaker 2: People just losing it. The best thing and that is
Speaker 2: to start laughing, because I think those people want you
Speaker 2: to get as upset as they're upset, and instead, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like the guy that was at that city council
Speaker 2: meeting and the people try to do that crazy thing.
Speaker 2: Oh and that guy in the green shirt was just
Speaker 2: laughing his ass up with the mustache and.
Speaker 1: He was celebrated. Never like I love this guy.
Speaker 2: He was crying laughing because the people, I think it
Speaker 2: was the people who were like trying to say that
Speaker 2: the election wasn't real where it's like I think it
Speaker 2: was one of those things, yeah right, where they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're all here to meet the city council to kind
Speaker 2: of get some stuff figured out, and this person was
Speaker 2: just going off in the craziest way and he just laughed.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Instead of just everybody getting angry or and angrier.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't doing it to get a rise out
Speaker 1: of them. He actually found it hilarious. He couldn't control.
Speaker 2: He was cracking up in the old school like I'm
Speaker 2: in church right now since where he's not supposed to
Speaker 2: be laughing and he can't help it. Yeah, it's perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to remind myself to do that next
Speaker 1: time someone's aggressive, because I'm afraid I have a history
Speaker 1: of matching the aggression and it never works. It's not
Speaker 1: a good.
Speaker 2: Idea, I know, but that's sometimes I do the same
Speaker 2: thing sometimes where it's like, oh, you think you're mad
Speaker 2: at me, I'm twice as mad at you. And that's
Speaker 2: just kind of a that's learned that's a learned behavior
Speaker 2: that we get from, you know, early life patterning, like
Speaker 2: little ducks, where it's like, well, this is what I
Speaker 2: always watch the adults in my life do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's had a different outcome for me though,
Speaker 1: where I've actually been punched in the face because people
Speaker 1: call my bluff and they're like, oh, you're not matching
Speaker 1: my aggressiveness, and I'll prove it, and then they surprised
Speaker 1: me with a broken nose. That's happened a couple of times.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you were, you were at a different level
Speaker 1: than me, right, Yes, was I drunk all those times too? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How's that going? By the way?
Speaker 1: Great for real? Yes, that's great. Everything I feared like
Speaker 1: I was missing out on fun or it would be
Speaker 1: inconvenient for me to be around others that are drinking,
Speaker 1: it's not hasn't been an issue. There are things I
Speaker 1: don't go to a if I know the main goal
Speaker 1: is to have drinks, and I don't want anyone to
Speaker 1: change their behavior around me because I remember my mom
Speaker 1: with AA. I think in a lot of programs, I
Speaker 1: don't want to call them out, but it's like you
Speaker 1: have to cut anyone that still does this out of
Speaker 1: your life. And I don't know that I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Maybe at some level if it's I don't know, I think.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's like early days, if you feel a little shaky,
Speaker 2: they encourage you to focus on yourself and not be
Speaker 2: because that's kind of a codependence thing when you're laying
Speaker 2: the groundwork just to start drinking. If you're like I'm
Speaker 2: putting in all this effort, but I'm also going to
Speaker 2: meet everybody at the Rustic in every night. Right, it's
Speaker 2: like give yourself a chance, right, But that's really good. Also,
Speaker 2: you know what I really love and I think there's
Speaker 2: so many people, so many smart people making products these days.
Speaker 2: Liquid death Seltzer water? Is it selter water? That you
Speaker 2: can buy it bars that looks like a tall boy,
Speaker 2: So you basically can stand there and it looks like
Speaker 2: you're drinking, Yes, and you don't have to drink some
Speaker 2: weird non alcoholic beer that doesn't taste good to you.
Speaker 2: You can just drink carbonated water with like a big
Speaker 2: skull and crossbones on it. It is so smart. When
Speaker 2: I bought it for me.
Speaker 1: I didn't get it at first. I'm like, why this
Speaker 1: is just a strange marketing thing. It's water for God's sake,
Speaker 1: but I didn't realize that's what it was for what
Speaker 1: beer drinkers drink when they're not drinking beer. And I
Speaker 1: know that's an odule's slogan.
Speaker 2: But there's so many more things, so many more choices.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been drinking. Athletic makes a non alcoholic brew
Speaker 1: that I find refreshing and low en calories. Who does
Speaker 1: Athletic is the name of this and it doesn't claim
Speaker 1: to be cause you to be muscular, but it is.
Speaker 1: It is what I get, and it fills that void
Speaker 1: and it occupies my hand because I think my beverage
Speaker 1: holding hand right, which.
Speaker 2: Is the right?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I never That's why this
Speaker 1: one is so so much smaller.
Speaker 2: It's all weak.
Speaker 1: Look at this vain, big arm, Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: then this little tiny arm. You never had a drink
Speaker 1: in his life, stupid. Yeah, it is pretty dumb everything.
Speaker 2: But I was going your arm, dumb, not your idea, right.
Speaker 1: I was jumping on. I was being a third person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's been very helpful.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just it's camouflage. Then it's like, because
Speaker 2: so much of drinking and all that kind of coping
Speaker 2: is about anxiety. Yeah, and covering anxiety, ma'am, do it
Speaker 2: and hurry the fuck up? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Oh, she's just a little of a certain age.
Speaker 2: I just didn't want her to get t bone. I
Speaker 2: was if I'm stopping.
Speaker 1: All the traffic, yes, yeah, yeah, we could rest knowing
Speaker 1: that she is in a very.
Speaker 2: Safe vehicle, you know, and she's in a safe place
Speaker 2: the DMV. That's where she was trying.
Speaker 1: To say, Oh, man, it might be her last turn
Speaker 1: into that lot.
Speaker 2: She's going to turn her driver's license.
Speaker 1: Oh what if it is? She just got that numerous sades. Oh,
Speaker 1: and she had those thick glasses. She has no hope.
Speaker 1: My great grandma drove until she was ninety five. Also,
Speaker 1: she lived to be one hundred and one. Have I
Speaker 1: bragged about that?
Speaker 2: I don't think. So that's great, It's yeah.
Speaker 1: That's I have that. You know, also many cases of dementia.
Speaker 1: But my grandma saw three decador sorry world wars. She
Speaker 1: fought in them all. Purple heart, yellow heart.
Speaker 2: No, she was reallydly in.
Speaker 1: World War te centuries. She's born in the late eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: the hundreds, ah, the hundreds with the sundries. I and
Speaker 1: then lived until I like two thousand and one. Onesies
Speaker 1: she were onesies. Why why do I make language a
Speaker 1: difficult obstacle.
Speaker 2: I think it's a delightful obstacle.
Speaker 1: Thanks you and a handful of others. The hundredes she
Speaker 1: was in eighteen hundreds and all through the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: She collected up her sundries and went across the.
Speaker 1: Plains and then with a thundry exit. She's a Kiss
Speaker 1: of the two thousand Suries.
Speaker 2: Oh no, the Kiss of the Spider Woman.
Speaker 1: I bring up we talked about Ireland, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to bomb anyone out, but I do want to
Speaker 1: address how much I have listened to Mantica today. I
Speaker 1: really like Shernad O'Connor, and I is very sad.
Speaker 2: I'm very sad about the death of Shnad O'Connor, one
Speaker 2: of our greatest singer songwriters, truly one of the bravest
Speaker 2: activists there ever has been where she stood up against
Speaker 2: the world to say the Catholic Church needs to base,
Speaker 2: there needs to be a reckoning for all of these
Speaker 2: child molesting priests, right and she did it alone, and
Speaker 2: she got absolutely torn apart for it. And then after
Speaker 2: the fact, thirty years later, everyone's like she was a
Speaker 2: visionary and we all must remember this that that's actually
Speaker 2: how it goes that that it's only the George Clooney
Speaker 2: type of heroes that get their medal right after they
Speaker 2: do something exactly and someone likes Snead O'Connor, who all
Speaker 2: she did was tear up a picture of the Pope,
Speaker 2: which isn't actually threatening in any way. She's just basically
Speaker 2: saying it's bullshit that this institution covers for child molesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know, not to be devil's advocate, but I would
Speaker 1: like to invite you my Satan based inner tonight. No,
Speaker 1: not to be a devil's but I do wish that
Speaker 1: it like if only much like with al Gore, And
Speaker 1: I consider said the al Gore of music, if it
Speaker 1: was just a clear like because he called it global
Speaker 1: warming and then it was like, it is not warm.
Speaker 1: I had a cold day the other day and all
Speaker 1: these people are bringing snowballs into Congress. If it was
Speaker 1: just called climate change right away. I wish that when
Speaker 1: she ripped it, she's like, this is for just to
Speaker 1: spell it all to all the dumb people, because she
Speaker 1: is so ahead of her time. It was a decade
Speaker 1: before people were talking about child abuse in the Catholic church.
Speaker 1: If it was just that's what she said, yeah, Because
Speaker 1: a lot of people just saw her rip up and
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, I like the Pope, my parents are Catholic.
Speaker 1: What she rip it? They did not read between the
Speaker 1: lines and just know that that's why she was doing
Speaker 1: And I admit I didn't know at the time, right,
Speaker 1: I just thought it was punk rock and cool.
Speaker 2: That makes sense. I get the Yeah, and she said
Speaker 2: fight the real enemy, but I think it was oh.
Speaker 1: That is what she said. I believe, so I just
Speaker 1: watched and but I think Michael's probably banner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, none of the producers knew she was gonna do it.
Speaker 2: But I think you're totally right in terms of like
Speaker 2: the wording of that is actually crucial for the message,
Speaker 2: because then the message isn't actually carried. And I wonder
Speaker 2: if something had just happened where it was like something
Speaker 2: had just been uncovered.
Speaker 1: Or something like that.
Speaker 2: I wonder we're too contextual for her, and instead it
Speaker 2: got like, because God forbid you ever say anything about religion.
Speaker 2: It's so such a reactive thing. But did you ever
Speaker 2: see the clip where she went to do a live
Speaker 2: show for a benefit at this huge I think it
Speaker 2: was Madison Square Gardens or something, and she walked on
Speaker 2: stage and they immediately started booing her and.
Speaker 1: Chriss Christopher stood by her and yeah, we've talked about
Speaker 1: him being cool before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of the cooler things.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That and he he got into a fight with not
Speaker 2: a physical altercation, but like an argument with Toby Keith
Speaker 2: at some country music. Oh, it was Willie Nelson's seventieth birthday,
Speaker 2: and he said to Willie Nelson, you're great except for
Speaker 2: all that lefty stuff. And Christofferson got so pissed off.
Speaker 2: I think Willie Nelson first said like, yeah, go to
Speaker 2: hell or whatever. But then Chris Christofferson said something and
Speaker 2: he said to Chris Christopherson something fucked up, like oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: we knew that would come from you because you're like
Speaker 2: an old hippie or something like that. I learned all
Speaker 2: of this in a TikTok. And Chris Christofferson was an
Speaker 2: army ranger. He fought in a war. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was a Korean War or Vietnam, but like
Speaker 2: he turned around apparently and started reading Toby Keith the
Speaker 2: Right Act of like, you've never worn a uniform for
Speaker 2: this country, you've never cast a check. This government paid
Speaker 2: you to kill another man. You should shut your mouth.
Speaker 2: You're a complete fraud. And like apparently it was this
Speaker 2: like whole showdown at Willie Nelson's seventieth birthday that I
Speaker 2: was like, this is fucking Chris Christofferson is the.
Speaker 1: Cool The government paid you to kill another man what.
Speaker 2: Is that he was in the army, Like how that
Speaker 2: feels to be in the army and to feel that
Speaker 2: and that it's not it's not all heroic and you
Speaker 2: get all these congratulations he's you know that you're still
Speaker 2: a person.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Chris Stofferson was in the army. Yeah, Toby Keith.
Speaker 1: The only fight he's been he fell off a stool
Speaker 1: during a bar fight once and it was a video shoot.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, exactly, the whole thing was faked. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do kind of like that video there there. I
Speaker 1: love this bar. I don't like Toby, but there is
Speaker 1: a video where he's singing the song and behind him
Speaker 1: is in nineteen eighties, like Terry Bradshaw and Burt Reynold's
Speaker 1: bar fight and people are flying it through the air
Speaker 1: while he's singing, And I'm like, okay, if I have to,
Speaker 1: you know, spend reality and turn off the volume. Also,
Speaker 1: I did enjoy that music video, That's all I'm to say.
Speaker 1: And I do also prefer red so low cups.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Country music is great, and oftentimes
Speaker 2: the people singing it aren't the people that write those songs.
Speaker 1: Is it great?
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, it can be. It can be because
Speaker 2: there's now a bunch of people that are coming out
Speaker 2: to like argue this Jason Aldian thing, and there it's
Speaker 2: all the you know, super there's a couple of people
Speaker 2: I've never seen before because I clearly don't keep up
Speaker 2: with current country music. But like Jason isbel came up
Speaker 2: and was like, this guy's from Macon, Georgia. That's a
Speaker 2: big town. He doesn't know what he's talking about about
Speaker 2: small towns and that's not how small towns are.
Speaker 1: Oh. He was the guy that had a song about
Speaker 1: not in my small town, which it's.
Speaker 2: Try that in a small town.
Speaker 1: Oh, which means just about anything. It's that is in cities,
Speaker 1: which it's and the.
Speaker 2: Video is super racist and it's just kind of fucked up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to hate watch it. What's his name?
Speaker 2: We don't have to just look up try that in
Speaker 2: a small town. But here's what I love about America
Speaker 2: and the upside of social media. They started this thing
Speaker 2: of try that in a small town. And then it
Speaker 2: just has a picture of a person, so it's I
Speaker 2: think it. His name is Ahmed Aubrey, the guy that
Speaker 2: went jogging, and then the guy's killed him, so it's
Speaker 2: tried jogging. It's his picture, it says the town and
Speaker 2: what happened to him. So it's like, oh, no, if
Speaker 2: you want to do this, let's actually do it. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about what this means when a person of color
Speaker 2: does something and people you know, or cops or whoever
Speaker 2: kill them. It's really a smart thing where it's like,
Speaker 2: let's not keep the euphemisms around this, let's actually say
Speaker 2: what you mean, which is you're saying threatened to kill people.
Speaker 1: And he hasn't back down, of course, or if I
Speaker 1: was not any of that or even noticed it, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: probably no.
Speaker 2: I think he doubled down. I'm sure he'd I mean,
Speaker 2: that's all. If you take a stance like that, you're
Speaker 2: not gonna immediately back down. It's not a mistake.
Speaker 1: You just go in the backyard and shoot up a
Speaker 1: case of bud light or something. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that part of everything is so dumb. But
Speaker 2: I think it's bringing out of people who were like
Speaker 2: never would make a statement before or stake a claim.
Speaker 2: I think all like us gen X people are learning
Speaker 2: from younger people where you do get to say fuck
Speaker 2: you to those people because we're not outnumbered anymore. And
Speaker 2: we're not like, you know, like I love all this
Speaker 2: feminist shit that's happening these days, because when I was
Speaker 2: fucking twenty two, if you said you were a feminist,
Speaker 2: which I did all the time, people would fucking women
Speaker 2: would get as angry at you as nasty men. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't so long ago that all this shit was. Like,
Speaker 2: if you were caring about any of this stuff, you
Speaker 2: there were plenty of people to shut you down and
Speaker 2: you were just like, well, forget it, I just won't
Speaker 2: make a stand or I won't I'm not going to
Speaker 2: put myself out there like that.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't that long ago. And that's which brings
Speaker 1: me back to my point. Shreneade O'Connor was doing it
Speaker 1: when it was not popular, and yeah, she is just
Speaker 1: the best, the best, and Mandika is just a great song.
Speaker 2: And Ninka's great. I'm Stretched on Your Grave as a
Speaker 2: hit that maybe is a b sad, maybe a lot
Speaker 2: of people don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm one of those lots of people.
Speaker 2: It's go listen to it because it's.
Speaker 1: Basically I'm stretched over your grave, I'm.
Speaker 2: Stretched on your grave. It's like a traditional Irish warning song.
Speaker 1: I thought it was maybe a death metal.
Speaker 2: Number, but they have like there's a there's like a
Speaker 2: drum beat behind it, so it sounds modern. It's cool.
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of cool songs on the line. And
Speaker 2: the cobra that everybody needs to dry out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also she had a perfect face, Sneade O'Connor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did have, and to notice that today when
Speaker 1: I went on a deep dive of every live performance
Speaker 1: is very symmetrical, very beautiful, and no one else can
Speaker 1: pull off a shaved head like Sinead O'Connor.
Speaker 2: No, not at all. That's why they really did want her.
Speaker 2: They thought she was going to be gigantic.
Speaker 1: Sorry, you mean tall.
Speaker 2: They thought she was going to grow to over seven
Speaker 2: feet tall.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My Orthodonis told me that it never happened.
Speaker 2: He said, Chris, by the look of these molars, you're
Speaker 2: going to be a big boy.
Speaker 1: No. They ex rayed my hand to find out. I
Speaker 1: guess you can predict things through the carpels or the
Speaker 1: tart tart or the metacarpals. H about what and he said, oh,
Speaker 1: you're going to be six something. I'm like, like both
Speaker 1: my grandpa's and every cousin and everyone but my dad
Speaker 1: but no, no, no, but the braces still worked.
Speaker 2: You know, would be sad if the braces are the
Speaker 2: reason that you didn't that somehow the metal seeped into yours.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't get me worried about that.
Speaker 2: You don't have them anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, I do have a cobalt hip in the I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen documentaries that it does stunt your vision, just
Speaker 1: on the heels of me needing glasses.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I tell you stop watching hip documentary.
Speaker 1: I know it's my favorite genre, though you guys the.
Speaker 2: Other ones besides just things to be afraid of after
Speaker 2: you get a hip surgery.
Speaker 1: Oh, femur biopics. I love a hip doc but I
Speaker 1: do love a scripted femur pick. Oh, what's a good one?
Speaker 1: My left foot?
Speaker 2: Oh, oh jesus.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful Daniel day. We're coming up on the
Speaker 1: right the ha haa cafe there. It is the first
Speaker 1: place I ever did stand up. Just days before I
Speaker 1: met you in a laundromat, which I talk about a lot,
Speaker 1: but it was Patrick Keane was working the door and
Speaker 1: he's like, new in town, huh. And then he looked
Speaker 1: at my license. He's like, you're from Montana. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like I went to schooling Helena. I'm like, you're
Speaker 1: kidding me. He all of a sudden made the town
Speaker 1: seem small. He's like, well, let's hang out sometime. He
Speaker 1: was one of the first comics that was nice to
Speaker 1: me that I met here.
Speaker 2: What is old Patrick Keen up to these days?
Speaker 1: He's a teacher where in southern California.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's where we live.
Speaker 1: H I meant to say, like Orange County. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. I just what's more Southern California than the
Speaker 1: County of Orange. I don't know if he's also doing
Speaker 1: stand up he goes, he's he's just juggling. He's doing
Speaker 1: a career that he got into during quarantine, like a
Speaker 1: lot of people did. And I think he's I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's full time teaching still that's great though. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's good at that, I imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I hope he never quits comedy though, because
Speaker 2: he's so funny. Yeah, so good at comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime. And that's why I saw him more recently,
Speaker 1: during when things were just starting to open up. I
Speaker 1: did the Irvine improv and I asked to beat open
Speaker 1: and it had been a while, and his what he
Speaker 1: does on stage is perfect for setting up my little
Speaker 1: brand of self deprecating because he's so good at it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't lean into it as much because it's
Speaker 1: very hard to do that and he's so good at it.
Speaker 1: It's just the best. Like all of his throwaways kind
Speaker 1: of like blame capachas are like, the show's going to
Speaker 1: start in a minute, we're gonna have it. Like he
Speaker 1: he just keeps reprimanding himself here, yeah, and reminding them
Speaker 1: that's what he's doing until they're on board. And then
Speaker 1: he's yeah, I've seen in it so many times, so funny,
Speaker 1: and start like not people not on board, because nowadays
Speaker 1: you just have to feign confidence. I belong on this stage.
Speaker 1: And he does the opposite in a way that I
Speaker 1: always found difficult. But he he everyone loves him. It
Speaker 1: always works. I've always seen him do well. Even if
Speaker 1: he's not doing well at the seven minute mark or
Speaker 1: eight minute mark, he has them all at the twelve
Speaker 1: minute mark. Yeah, and he always says nice things when
Speaker 1: he intros me.
Speaker 2: That's all you need, really, yeah, Jesus Christ, these cars,
Speaker 2: these blue cars coming straight at us, that's really the
Speaker 2: theme of the drive today.
Speaker 1: They're always blue.
Speaker 2: Always blue, and always kind of rolling over that line
Speaker 2: toward us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has happened in number three couple. That was
Speaker 1: a third I know. Oh we got I get a
Speaker 1: camera in here.
Speaker 2: Should we go to Starbucks?
Speaker 1: You know I've had two coffees today. Oh, and you
Speaker 1: know I'm a three coffee guy. The answer is yes.
Speaker 2: I mean, you could get lemonade with just a little
Speaker 2: coffee dripped into it.
Speaker 1: I was a simpler person back then. I can't even
Speaker 1: believe I said, Onalise, I'd like to apologize for making
Speaker 1: you drink that beverage. It was terrible. I knew it
Speaker 1: was terrible.
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to try things, and we have
Speaker 2: to experiment, and if you have a theory and you
Speaker 2: think something might be good, try it out. But then
Speaker 2: when it's bad.
Speaker 1: Admit it own it. And I didn't at the time,
Speaker 1: and it was cowardly well, which is why I'm going
Speaker 1: to order another one step on the gas.
Speaker 2: I just genuinely wanted to know if I was wrong, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you recall correctly, the word refreshing did
Speaker 1: come out of Onaliza's mouth. Am I correct in.
Speaker 2: That anything for science. It was a scientific experiment. I'm here,
Speaker 2: We're driving through beautiful burbank.
Speaker 1: So many places to buy used guns.
Speaker 2: Yes, use guns. There's also if hey, does your vacuum
Speaker 2: cleaner need repair, well, come down here because there's several
Speaker 2: like independent businesses like vacuum repair. Oh, I used to
Speaker 2: get her done. Termite and past control is actually great
Speaker 2: if you're in the area that. I love those guys
Speaker 2: because I had so many bugs at that old house,
Speaker 2: so many bugs, and those guys came several.
Speaker 1: Times, all dressed like Larry the Cable Guy. Yep, I
Speaker 1: was that before. It has to be after, judging by
Speaker 1: the final in this sunny part of town.
Speaker 2: Before or after what.
Speaker 1: It became the catchphrase in one of America's favorite comedians
Speaker 1: and potato chip makers, get her done.
Speaker 2: Oh Oh, I think they. I think they took it
Speaker 2: from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay. I would think I knew from the vinyl.
Speaker 1: I know how vinyl ages, and I can tell when
Speaker 1: it was first applied and burnished.
Speaker 2: Although that's impressive.
Speaker 1: Grad Yeah, I used to work in this sign business.
Speaker 2: But my hesitation is right now because he's in show business.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't Larry the cable Guy when you said, oh my god,
Speaker 2: when you said they all look like Larry the Cable Guy. See,
Speaker 2: this isn't how it works.
Speaker 1: I knew it didn't get the reaction I wanted because
Speaker 1: you weren't. You just were sat on your point, which
Speaker 1: was they are very good exterminators.
Speaker 2: True. Yeah, so I was half listening. But when you
Speaker 2: said Larry the cable Guy, I just thought of Jim
Speaker 2: Carrey The Cable Guy. I just thought of the movie
Speaker 2: where I'm like, oh, that's sure, I'll go along with
Speaker 2: that one too. But I didn't understand it, and now
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he first came on the scene and I
Speaker 1: opened for him in Austin that I'm like, you mean
Speaker 1: like the Jim Carrey movie, I don't know. And then
Speaker 1: I expected at least one or two jokes referencing Quaxiel
Speaker 1: or any he never addresses. I don't know that he
Speaker 1: is a cable guy, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's just yeah, that started somewhere, and then
Speaker 2: after a while he's like, who cares, I don't have
Speaker 2: to justify this anymore. I'm destroying rooms. And here's the
Speaker 2: thing I would like to say about Larry the cabe Guy.
Speaker 2: I've only ever heard that he is a lovely human being.
Speaker 1: He was very lovely to me, and he had weird jokes,
Speaker 1: and he would like, oh, my audience won't like this
Speaker 1: because it's a little weird, but would you please do
Speaker 1: this joke idea?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh that's right, you told me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was really sweet to me.
Speaker 2: I just love that because male comics, it's really telling
Speaker 2: that people go out of their way to talk about
Speaker 2: if a male comic is a decent person. Right, I
Speaker 2: think I'll just leave it at that. Then it makes
Speaker 2: me happy to be able to repeat that. For people
Speaker 2: who follow comedy and love comedy, it's like, oh, that
Speaker 2: guy's great.
Speaker 1: Well it is coming from me, another male comic.
Speaker 2: True.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't speak for someone else's experience with him,
Speaker 1: but it was nice to me, and I do a
Speaker 1: lot of people know this in the comedy world, but
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know he was a comedian
Speaker 1: that did that as a character in the middle of
Speaker 1: his act. That was just Hey, I'm a guy in
Speaker 1: a turquoise shirt telling jokes, and then he would do
Speaker 1: this character and then the club start going, just come
Speaker 1: as that character, your closer, just do that wow, And
Speaker 1: then he was like, Okay, I guess I'll be full
Speaker 1: time cable guy. He probably didn't even think about the name, right,
Speaker 1: It was just like written on a napkin one night
Speaker 1: in Duluth.
Speaker 2: And also, I bet you that was like eighties nineties
Speaker 2: when that happened to him.
Speaker 1: I wonder. I wonder too, Yeah, I certainly there's like
Speaker 1: you can watch sets of his from the nineties as
Speaker 1: Dan Whitney, and it's bizarre because he has like feathered hair,
Speaker 1: but it's the cable guy. It wasn't year. It wasn't
Speaker 1: until the two thousands that he did this. And again,
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk politics with the guy or anything.
Speaker 2: I just well, yeah, but I think that being from
Speaker 2: the South, there's almost like this expectation of what you
Speaker 2: have to be, Like that's the inverse of like being
Speaker 2: a comic from California.
Speaker 1: Look at this guy. Look at this that guy, Oh,
Speaker 1: look at that that was we just witnessed a truck hastily.
Speaker 1: He did not want to wait, or he realized he
Speaker 1: needed to go to the pharmacy. He's like, wait, this
Speaker 1: isn't a drive through aspirin store. I mean what he
Speaker 1: just peeled out. It's such truck behavior. That was.
Speaker 2: But he peeled out over the curb to get out
Speaker 2: of the drive through.
Speaker 1: Lane, just like Larry the Cable Guy's character would have
Speaker 1: done in the movie Cars. And someone brought up a
Speaker 1: good point. He was a tow truck in that I
Speaker 1: was not a cable car. Someone said that in a
Speaker 1: video and it made me laugh.
Speaker 2: Marry the cable car because cable cars can't go wherever
Speaker 2: they want.
Speaker 1: I know the real reason, animation wise, and you know
Speaker 1: I'm a manimal drawer anthrop pomorphized objects and animals. There's
Speaker 1: no headlights on a cable car, so he would be
Speaker 1: a character without blinking eyes.
Speaker 2: Cable cars aren't cars. No, I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 1: Okay a lot. I've been in this argument before. We
Speaker 1: train people.
Speaker 2: Can I just sidebar this?
Speaker 1: No, we have to stick with this.
Speaker 2: I love cars. Are you looking at these frozen lemonade
Speaker 2: Starbucks refreshers beverages? Yeah that I hate to do a
Speaker 2: commercial for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what I'm gonna get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna get something totally different than normal.
Speaker 1: Well being that I've had all of them, I highly
Speaker 1: recommend the dragon fruit.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I come to the Bucks a lot. What Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's delicious, and the strawberry Asai lemonade is also good.
Speaker 1: I haven't had the pineapple passion fruit lemonade, but that's
Speaker 1: because it's a bit of a tongue twister.
Speaker 2: And you just don't want to embarrass myself. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't want to be shamed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean I don't know though, that
Speaker 1: there's caffeine in it. And isn't that why we're here?
Speaker 1: No for that drug?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Well, then you need to drive over this median and
Speaker 1: get us to that CBS because I want drugs.
Speaker 2: Hi, my name's Karen. Can I get your the frozen
Speaker 2: strawberry lemonade?
Speaker 1: I would like a grande iced coffee, and can I
Speaker 1: put a little lemonade in it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Thanks? I it just came out of my mouth. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't want it. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: I just you can have the SIPs of mine if
Speaker 2: you don't want to drink it.
Speaker 1: I'm a guy that commits to a bit.
Speaker 2: Well that's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, we should drive around until you've finished the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we should workshop this on wheels.
Speaker 2: I can't wait I normally like if I was by
Speaker 2: myself and we weren't recording and someone said, Hi, my
Speaker 2: name's Becky or whatever, she said, what's your name? I
Speaker 2: don't even know. I don't know if I would have
Speaker 2: like I hate that.
Speaker 1: I like it, you know what I well. To me,
Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of because people are so rude and
Speaker 1: that you know, yes, yeah, And I always I when
Speaker 1: I say, hey, how are you today? That's what I
Speaker 1: always say, and they're always like, oh wow, thanks for asking,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's nothing, I'm doing nothing, but they always
Speaker 1: seem to appreciate it. Yes, And so I make sure
Speaker 1: heard throwing it right back at you. Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 2: I know it Just I have that feeling where I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is the thing I've my nineties reactive brain says,
Speaker 2: do not participate in this.
Speaker 1: Well. It is very close to that waiter the crouches
Speaker 1: down that's like, hey, guys, no, what are we doing today?
Speaker 1: That's nice? I like that and they feel your fabric.
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, oh, well, now I'm in love
Speaker 2: with you and I knew you didn't mean it. I'm
Speaker 2: going to try to meet you out by the break station.
Speaker 1: To give you more of a tip. If you know
Speaker 1: what I wink, if you know what I wink.
Speaker 2: If you know what I wink, that's what.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that and I know them
Speaker 1: adults that can't wink. Oh really, they go to wink
Speaker 1: and they have to contort their whole face. And I
Speaker 1: guess they've just never had a secret. But who really winks.
Speaker 2: My friend Don Fraser winks, really is the Eleprechaun. It's
Speaker 2: a girl.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well Don, I jumped to the d.
Speaker 2: O N right, And this is what the Barbie movie
Speaker 2: is about. How you refused? Ye jumped to the dawn.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's true. I need to be todd a lesson,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be colorful.
Speaker 2: I think that no guy who's ever had an older
Speaker 2: sister or older sister's plural should be expected to go
Speaker 2: to the Barbie movie unless they want to. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you've already gotten all these lessons times now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I played with my It's weird because my sister
Speaker 1: had toys, but I had. They were sanded, but just
Speaker 1: shapes of wood. My dad cut from a two by
Speaker 1: four for toys. But she did have Barbie's and she
Speaker 1: had like the bionic one, which I thought was the coolest.
Speaker 1: There was a woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just an action figure for the TV show.
Speaker 1: Oh it was. Yes, it wasn't a fairy faucet. Barbie,
Speaker 1: of course not. I say it out loud now and
Speaker 1: I want to apologize to Mattel.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: But shebies too.
Speaker 2: You know why because Barbie didn't have like her arm
Speaker 2: that opened with the circuitry.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I always thought, Thank god I never got it,
Speaker 1: but I thought a tattoo of of like ooh circuitry,
Speaker 1: Like I thought it'd be cool to have that.
Speaker 2: That would be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it though. You know, I'm glad I
Speaker 1: didn't get any of those colorful joke tattoos because you know,
Speaker 1: I just want little tiny doorbell motor prison tattoos. I
Speaker 1: think those like the best, like.
Speaker 2: The Russian Russian prison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like them.
Speaker 2: She got killy. Can I have my first?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well I can get this one all right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: here you go, thank you. The pin number The card
Speaker 1: number is four, okay.
Speaker 2: Christo for so you say it. Jack Black tells a
Speaker 2: very funny story. Do you know Jack Black? Both of
Speaker 2: his parents worked at JPI and his mother had gave
Speaker 2: birth to him while she was giving notes on one
Speaker 2: of the like NASA space things that happening.
Speaker 1: I don't know what JPL is.
Speaker 2: Oh, Jet Propulsion Laboratories.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I knewest.
Speaker 2: We drove by their, remember myself. That's when we got
Speaker 2: lost in Pasadena.
Speaker 1: Oh, much like the time. And I think I called
Speaker 1: it the Philadelphia Project, the Manhattan Project. It's the Oppenheimer
Speaker 1: movie is about. Yes, I when we mentioned that, I
Speaker 1: did mention that I was in the desert and in uh
Speaker 1: in New Mexico, and it seemed like I was making
Speaker 1: it up. I just now realized it was that. But
Speaker 1: it was a situation like when we were podcasting and
Speaker 1: stumbled upon NASA.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Oh I thought you were just
Speaker 2: free free associationd.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was. It was very similar anyway,
Speaker 1: Sorry to interrupt.
Speaker 2: No, no, no problem, okay, I will.
Speaker 1: I'm going to remind you of what we were talking.
Speaker 2: Can you remember those that's that's.
Speaker 1: Parents working not for LBJ.
Speaker 2: Wow. Uh Jack Black's parents are LGBT.
Speaker 1: Oh right right, yes, Cleia, this has got a little
Speaker 1: lemonade in it, right, lemonade yep.
Speaker 2: And sweetener.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. I have a feeling this will become
Speaker 1: the citrus brew that.
Speaker 2: I that you've always dreamed of.
Speaker 1: Yep, is that it? No, it's bad, it's bad.
Speaker 2: I oh I applaud your honesty.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's worse than before. Oh no, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that a sweetener made it even more funky.
Speaker 2: Oh it feels like you should also make out a
Speaker 2: lea drink. No compared to it's gonna be yours.
Speaker 1: I just want my medicine. So Jack Black's parents work
Speaker 1: for JBL speaker manufacturers.
Speaker 2: They're very They just love a great sound. Oh, LA's
Speaker 2: a union town. Someone has that on their mini on
Speaker 2: their minivan. That's cool.
Speaker 1: With the drawing of tacos in a delivery Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's like a union for food delivery people. Oh that's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, because you know, there's some people who worked at
Speaker 2: McDonald's and walked out because they didn't have air conditioning
Speaker 2: in an La. McDonald's and the workers and of course
Speaker 2: they have still they've always been fighting for a better
Speaker 2: minimum wage, right, and so they all walked out.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't try not to go to McDonald's until that
Speaker 2: gets resolved.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I won't and I haven't been for many
Speaker 1: years because it causes a stomach ache.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, there's so many good.
Speaker 1: Reasons jet propulsion laboratories. Let's talk about this. Jack Black
Speaker 1: and his parents.
Speaker 2: Both of his parents were I don't know, astrophysicists, rocket scientists,
Speaker 2: whatever this is, yes, thank you sir. So that's just
Speaker 2: a little background color to say that. Jack Black tells
Speaker 2: a story about going to school one day after I
Speaker 2: think he watched The Bionic Man and he was so
Speaker 2: obsessed with it that he put wires under his sweater
Speaker 2: sleeve and then he kind of let them sit there
Speaker 2: so that people would notice them, and then he would
Speaker 2: pretend to shove them back in like you weren't supposed
Speaker 2: to see the wires, and like he's this is a
Speaker 2: secret he has to keep. It was like, it's a
Speaker 2: very funny story obviously the way he tells it, but
Speaker 2: the idea getting those ideas as kids where you're going
Speaker 2: to trick everybody or you're going to convince everybody of something,
Speaker 2: and for it to.
Speaker 1: Be something like that, that's just like I want them
Speaker 1: to think I'm a weirdout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want them to think I'm bionic.
Speaker 1: That's great. And the wires he grabbed it from where
Speaker 1: something very important at mommy and daddy's work and that
Speaker 1: day a missile launch went awry.
Speaker 2: He had the capability to grab wires all around the house.
Speaker 1: Why is the toaster not working? Jack also starred in
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey The Cable Guy.
Speaker 2: Was he in The Cable Guy?
Speaker 1: He was?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Was he in The Cable Guy? He was in that
Speaker 1: and also Airborne, a movie about rollerblading that I wished
Speaker 1: was about skateboarding because it was actually a pretty good movie.
Speaker 1: And he was just like a dramatic kid actor. But
Speaker 1: I always saw that he was funny.
Speaker 2: What was he in The Cable Guy?
Speaker 1: He was one of Matthew Broderick's friends that they're playing
Speaker 1: basketball with. Who like Philip Seymour Hoffman, who's also in
Speaker 1: the movie. It's a great film. You need to revisit it.
Speaker 1: Larry The Cable Guy, Jim Carrey, The Cable Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Cable Yes, anyway, the Cable Gentleman. Is It launched a
Speaker 1: career of so many great people and it's it's very good.
Speaker 1: But he he suspects that Jim Carrey is like a
Speaker 1: stalker person he was right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was on to him. That makes me think
Speaker 2: I saw an amazing clip on what app Tac toe
Speaker 2: tic Tac toe h And it's Jim Carrey giving he's
Speaker 2: supposed to be presenting and it's I can't tell if
Speaker 2: it's the Golden Globes.
Speaker 1: Yes, I did you see it? Yeah? Oh hi, I'm
Speaker 1: two time Global Golden Globe. Yeah. He's a better speaker
Speaker 1: and I that's why it makes the big box.
Speaker 2: But this speech, like the way he does it and
Speaker 2: the it's so funny, and I think it's a little
Speaker 2: after the fact of everything. Yeah, So you're getting the
Speaker 2: feeling that like it's so smart of him because he's
Speaker 2: just like immediately saying hi, I'm he's introducing himself. It's
Speaker 2: saying he's two times Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey.
Speaker 1: And one day and at night I go to sleep
Speaker 1: not like a normal person, as two time Golden Globe
Speaker 1: winner Jim Carrey, to dream about my third Golden Goolden
Speaker 1: Globe because I have trouble saying that. Don't I found
Speaker 1: out something.
Speaker 2: It's Palmer of Award shows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, rear real drive Real, rear real window window. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he says I one day I dream to be third
Speaker 1: time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey, because then my life
Speaker 1: will be complete. And it's to watch people like Denzel
Speaker 1: Washington sitting up front so excited and invested in this life.
Speaker 2: And it's so like it's almost like mathematically laid out
Speaker 2: to be the most hilarious bit and speech. It's the thing.
Speaker 2: Everyone's trying to do it award shows, and no one,
Speaker 2: even the funniest people that you love the most, they
Speaker 2: can't because those that it's such a losing game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and he nails it perfectly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't, and he doesn't have to have any
Speaker 1: Jervais like anger when he does it. He's just like
Speaker 1: silly about it, Yes, holding a mirror up.
Speaker 2: But then he's actually saying some of the kids, he
Speaker 2: goes because and then I will be enough, because once
Speaker 2: I win that third Golden Globe, then I will be enough.
Speaker 2: The search will be over. And that's when the laugh
Speaker 2: gets like huge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's great, and I appreciate you purposefully messing
Speaker 1: up Golden Globe to makes me feel better. Yeah, he is,
Speaker 1: and it's right before he kind of you know, he's retired.
Speaker 1: He's no longer He's like, I'm a painter, and I
Speaker 1: being Jim Carrey was a character for me. Obviously. It
Speaker 1: wasn't happy. No, you would think, we look at that
Speaker 1: air stream, that's nice.
Speaker 2: What are you doing over there?
Speaker 1: Acting like baked potatoes? The family of them quintin there
Speaker 1: knows where their ears are.
Speaker 2: What if a baked potato had wheels.
Speaker 1: There, you'd have it. Oh they're so neat, Yeah, really
Speaker 1: cool they do. They don't take well the dents though.
Speaker 2: No, can't get rid of that, you know, airstream trailers.
Speaker 2: I just read this thing because I had to do
Speaker 2: not how to do. My story on my Favorite murder
Speaker 2: was about Knight of the Grizzlies at Glacier National Park.
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with this?
Speaker 1: I am actually not, and those are my stomping grounds
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: It was a story about how one night in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty seven, bears just started attacking people at the park
Speaker 2: and they never had before, but they had been bears
Speaker 2: had been baited for years. They leave food out for
Speaker 2: them so that they would come over and people could
Speaker 2: watch them. Oh and like whatever. And then also there's
Speaker 2: a lot of litter around because picking up after yourself
Speaker 2: was just not a thing anyone did right. And then
Speaker 2: basically there were these horrible bear attacks one night, and
Speaker 2: then after that everyone wised up because people just thought
Speaker 2: bears were cute and sweet and we should go see
Speaker 2: bears and they would try to take pictures with them
Speaker 2: and all that shit, and and then it was like
Speaker 2: this one night of horrible deaths that essentially changed all
Speaker 2: the rules and all the attitudes about how we interact
Speaker 2: with wild animals.
Speaker 1: Let's yell, let's yell and call them scabs. It's a production.
Speaker 2: They could have gotten a sagwaiver if they're an independent
Speaker 2: production that's agreed with the terms.
Speaker 1: That's too much to yell as we drive by. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that's it. I didn't ever hear about that. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's because the sixties, but you would have thought I
Speaker 1: was always scared of bears.
Speaker 2: Good yeah, great, that's goodness. Yeah, but wait, I was
Speaker 2: telling you that for reason.
Speaker 1: The reason was.
Speaker 2: It was Jim's carry adjacent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all rose up and retired from being bears.
Speaker 2: Oh, here it is. It's the airstream connection.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: In that story, I learned that after World War Two,
Speaker 2: basically there was this huge obviously there's the infrastructure Bill
Speaker 2: that got a bunch of people working again, and they
Speaker 2: were working on fixing bridges, building roads, and that's how
Speaker 2: the highway system got built in this country. And so
Speaker 2: like stuff like that, Like all of a sudden, your
Speaker 2: average American could go get in a station wagon and
Speaker 2: drive to Glacier National Park in a way they never
Speaker 2: could before, so they could have an affordable vacation that
Speaker 2: was like unbelievably gorgeous. So the national park system that
Speaker 2: this putting in the highway and this is not totally factual.
Speaker 2: This is an approximation information to me, but I'd never
Speaker 2: realized that before, like aside from the basics, you know.
Speaker 2: And they called it something like plan sixty six based
Speaker 2: on Route sixty six. Oh really, where if you give
Speaker 2: people a thing to drive up and down to be tourists,
Speaker 2: they'll do it because it's a Back then, it was
Speaker 2: affordable because gas wasn't five dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1: And that's when airstreams were first made and they never
Speaker 1: changed the design.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna say yes because it
Speaker 2: feels right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know that I'm leaning. I'm giving you
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to.
Speaker 2: Say yes, yeah, but I think it's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they do. They every time I see one,
Speaker 1: I get excited and nostalgic from my childhood in the sixties.
Speaker 2: You were born in the sixties. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry to tell you right now, I am
Speaker 1: fifty eight. Did you know that a lot of people
Speaker 1: when they when they only know us from me from
Speaker 1: my voice, that they assumed I was in my sixties. No, yes,
Speaker 1: I hear it very often. No, my voice sounds like
Speaker 1: an older Oh, I've heard it so many times. No,
Speaker 1: it's okay, behind us.
Speaker 2: Well, that's insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear it very often. And then there's the
Speaker 1: added burn of and I thought you'd be taller. You know,
Speaker 1: people just blurt what they they blurt.
Speaker 2: I am, I blurt.
Speaker 1: Disappointing height and skin smoothness. But what they're looking for
Speaker 1: smooth Yeah, they were a tall, wrinkling bag of bones.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't deliver.
Speaker 2: That's so insane. Although as a person who compulsively listens
Speaker 2: to podcasts, you do just build a little picture in
Speaker 2: your mind. The difference for me is I would never
Speaker 2: then take the results of that back to the real
Speaker 2: human being and be like, here's how I'm disappointed by
Speaker 2: the fantasy version of you versus the reality version.
Speaker 1: Right right? Yeah, I think I know what you just said.
Speaker 1: And if I didn't, it's my.
Speaker 2: I can restate.
Speaker 1: Please, Could you restate that? And I pull out a
Speaker 1: uh stenographer keyboard a kindle? What happened to the kindle?
Speaker 2: My dad still got one. He's a big believer, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh Jake Jillenhall stars in the New Barbie as a kindle.
Speaker 1: I don't like myself. Sorry, nuts, Yeah, it's just on
Speaker 1: the plane playing with my kendle. Is that Are you
Speaker 1: reading a book? No? Just dressed him up, just dressed
Speaker 1: him up, putting his arms on backwards.
Speaker 2: Little pink shirt on his kindle.
Speaker 1: No, what were you saying about it?
Speaker 2: About who I was done?
Speaker 1: You mentioned? Yeah, I just didn't. But you're saying I'm
Speaker 1: a visionary.
Speaker 2: I'm saying I understand and empathize with people who build
Speaker 2: a little fantasy pictures in their mind.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, don't just don't report it to people.
Speaker 1: I now I know exactly. Perhaps that's what I'm glad
Speaker 1: I'm made your ve stated. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: Being too vague because I don't want to be rude,
Speaker 2: because it is kind of fun, Like, first of all,
Speaker 2: because I'm guilty of it too, that we've been working
Speaker 2: at the exactly right network. We've been working with each other,
Speaker 2: many of us for three years, and some people have
Speaker 2: never met in real life or seen each other in
Speaker 2: real life. Maybe i'd like a Christmas party or something.
Speaker 2: But the first time I met Alejandra, who produces my
Speaker 2: favorite murder, she it was at our It was at
Speaker 2: our Halloween party in real life. I worked with her
Speaker 2: for a long time before I met her. And when
Speaker 2: someone goes that's a Lejandra, I went, oh my god,
Speaker 2: you're so tall. I yelled it into her face like
Speaker 2: a child. Yeah, And I was so embarrassed and it
Speaker 2: was I of course only meant it as a compliment,
Speaker 2: like right.
Speaker 1: But but if you've been tall your whole life, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: really right? The thing I've heard since sixth grade?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just like what am I like this? One
Speaker 2: of the many things I lost in Quarantine was that
Speaker 2: whatever the door was that would shut on ideas like
Speaker 2: that right is now just waving open. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Remember when we all first started meeting and people were
Speaker 1: just blurting, It's like, I'm sorry. It was an understanding.
Speaker 1: Everyone knew when you said I'm sorry, it's like I
Speaker 1: don't know how to act yet. Yeah, but I'm slowly
Speaker 1: getting it back. Everyone was in the same boat.
Speaker 2: I would do things where I would be mid ten
Speaker 2: minute monologue, but my eyes would be panicky and I'd
Speaker 2: be like, sorry, I can't stop talking because I was
Speaker 2: kind of spent a lot of time alone. Right, So
Speaker 2: it was like the first like I remember eating with
Speaker 2: my friend Albertina and just being like I was just like,
Speaker 2: I swear to God, this story will end soon, but
Speaker 2: I it just feels great to just be holding forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just our timing was off. Yeah. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's coming back.
Speaker 2: It's coming back. Yeah, it's getting easier.
Speaker 1: We're back in the car. Everything's great.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice. That is nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like the reason I'm excited personally about Barbie,
Speaker 2: and maybe many people are, is because it feels like
Speaker 2: everyone's going to one thing at one time, and so
Speaker 2: everyone's having like a singular experience that they can all
Speaker 2: talk about them right on social media, which that I
Speaker 2: feel like we haven't had a positive version of that
Speaker 2: in a long time. There's been lots and lots of
Speaker 2: negative ones.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and my tendency always is if everyone likes
Speaker 1: a thing, I'm revolting and I'm not going to see
Speaker 1: it yet. I'm I'm a changed person since talking to
Speaker 1: my plants for three years. And I also want to
Speaker 1: see Barbie. If everyone's excited, I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of thing where I think that was
Speaker 2: a luxury of the nineties that we had so much
Speaker 2: good There was so much good feeling and goodwill that
Speaker 2: we didn't realize we should not be turning away from
Speaker 2: it until it dried up. And you know, this country
Speaker 2: became divided.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we did become divided.
Speaker 2: Maybe we always were, Maybe we always were.
Speaker 1: My tone now is conclusionary because we're taking a turn
Speaker 1: on your street. That's right, That's where I get real.
Speaker 1: Npr m H, what are your.
Speaker 2: Final thoughts about this drive today?
Speaker 1: I would like everyone to take more care when during
Speaker 1: a random left turn from the middle of the road. Wheez,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to you. Blue cars, blue cars for sure.
Speaker 1: I would like to admit that I will never ever
Speaker 1: again order a coffee and lemonade. But I am look
Speaker 1: at me, halfway done with this.
Speaker 2: Oh what I'm going through?
Speaker 1: It drugs and and I also just want to say
Speaker 1: our guests today was great, although quiet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's one of my favorite kind of guests.

Speaker 2: I know I heard that and that you're not tall enough, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're not You're too young and you're not tall enough.
Speaker 1: If anyone actually did say those things to me, I'm
Speaker 1: these are just lighthearted jabs, and I'm sure in the
Speaker 1: moment I was like, yeah, I know I do sound
Speaker 1: like an old guy, or yeah, I know I am short.
