Welcome to Do you need a ride?

This is Chris.

Speaker 3

Fairbanks and this is Karen till Gareth.

Speaker 4

We are just it's like a standoff with the entrance to the Hollywood Burbank Airport.

Speaker 1

Yes, it's so easy to get in out in and I kind of want you to just drop me off.

Speaker 3

Do you want me?

Do you want to just take a Southwest flight.

Speaker 1

Somewhere for old time sake?

You know why?

Speaker 3

Because nothing beats a jet to holiday.

Speaker 4

I'm going on two jets tomorrow to go where, not on holiday, but this I'm made nervous by this.

Speaker 1

How faster you dumb?

You know?

Actually it's the fault doing good.

Speaker 4

Oh and then they honked because we pointed, Yeah, everyone wants coming.

Speaker 3

I want it.

Speaker 1

I would love it.

At Day and Age.

Speaker 4

I'm flying to Portland practicing six songs I can sing, and six songs I have to use the Justin Bieber filter on on my new voicebox machine.

Speaker 1

And then we have shows.

Yes, skate camp.

Speaker 4

All these skate camps are converging now going to be like three hundred people, and so I'm getting nervous.

Speaker 3

And excited, both very similar feelings.

Yes, I'm getting interchangeable feelings.

Speaker 4

But I learned for some of the songs where it's more mumbly and not a great recording, I am going to sing those into my more sensitive podcast microphone.

And then the ones where I'm screaming I have so I'm going to switch out the mics like a Van Halen Roadie Wow, and have two mics.

Speaker 1

It solved so many of my worries.

Can I make a pitch?

Please?

Please pitch?

Okay?

Speaker 3

This is a Jeff Martyr based pitch.

Remember him as a stand up comic.

He used to do both sides of your brain and he would go over here to the left mic, and he would say this idea that was left brain, and then he would go over here and say a right brained idea, and he just walked back and forth between those two mics.

I would recommend, as a person who has seen a little bit of the world, that you do not switch out the chord and two mics.

That you get two chords and you have two standing micros.

Speaker 4

I am bringing five chords.

Oh, I am going back.

Speaker 3

And scared that you were doing this.

You went like that, and I thought you were going.

Speaker 4

To be I without looking at a YouTube video, everyone in here on aalis you'd be proud.

I'm using the Zoom six recorder as a soundboard.

Speaker 1

Incredible.

Speaker 4

All the all the my little singing filter goes into that.

It all comes out of the Zoom six.

And I got chords for that.

So I'm using that, okay, because of the knobs.

Speaker 1

Are very useful.

Yes, so I have so much control.

Great, I have all the little subtle filters.

Speaker 3

I just think you're not only bringing one chord and switching to the actual mic.

You're gonna plug two mics in right.

Speaker 4

Actually, yes, that will take some That will take some finessing because there is only one mic cord that goes into the.

Speaker 1

Machine, but there's four.

Speaker 4

A win I use this filter machine.

So maybe I will have a regular mic cooked up traditionally I'll yell sing into that the other one.

Yeah, I'm using my gimmicky filters, my reverb and my share like auto tunes will go through the voice box, and that that will be.

They'll already be set up.

Two mics.

Speaker 3

Great, thank god, that's all I need to hear, and.

Speaker 1

I'll be a lot like this murder you speak.

Speaker 3

Of Jeff Marterr, one of the great comics of our time.

Speaker 4

Jeffrey Martin lit himself of fire like Joan of Arc the Martyr.

We all, yes, yes, I really have to ruin that one.

To get there, I will have one side left brain songs, one side right, bring songs.

Speaker 3

I want to say another joke that I think is jeff Martyr, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 1

Can I do that?

Yes?

Speaker 3

He said, I like to go shopping, and when I bring all my groceries and put them on the conveyor belt, I have my groceries first, and then I like to put a package of toilet paper, and after she after the woman wrings up my groceries.

I like to go is three points to the toilet paper?

Is this enough for this isn't that the best fucking joke about I saw it when I was like ten, and I got this weird feeling where I'm like, that's it's simplicity, it's relatability, but it's also I can't believe you just said that.

Speaker 1

So you don't know, Jeff Marder.

You just saw them on the A List or something, yes.

Speaker 3

Exactly, okay, or evening at the Improv nineteen eighty one version.

Speaker 1

I didn't know these jokes are from then there.

It's old.

That's amazing.

Speaker 3

I'm pretty sure I saw.

But here's the thing, I could absolutely be attributing an amazing joke that to Jeff Marder when it wasn't his joke, but he had that same you know, that kind of slick blonde dude from the early eighties that did stand up and everyone it's like a who would be the best?

Well it's kind of like cousin Joey when but not that goofy.

You know, a good looking blonde guy would get up with like a blazer and jeans and he'd be like, here's what you think is funny?

Now?

Speaker 1

Right?

Right?

Speaker 3

Right?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 4

And I want to look for it because I was a kid and yeah, it was a nice blazer.

Speaker 3

Great, great, kind of a lot of wool, a lot of elbow patches.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there's a lot of bad art.

Speaker 4

I'm like, let's hear this guy out just because of some shoulder pads.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it was very effective, a nice part right down the center and feathered on the side.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there is, you can see.

Speaker 4

I did the Comedy and Magic Club and a lot of those comics are still around, Yes, and you do shows with them and it's like, who's this sweet older fellow and then they're on stage and I recognized their joke yet in television from my childhood.

Speaker 3

Yep, that's like a Jake Joe Hansson vibe of like Jake Johnson should be.

If it was a meritocracy and it was talent based, Jake Johnson would be the most famous person on the planet.

Speaker 4

Right when I first started doing stand up, and I had Montana Pell's drive all the way down to Texas when I lived there, and they Jake Johnson was performing at the Mad Dog Theater.

None of my friends, as far as I knew, I had any interest in stand up, but we all watched MTV and the half hour Comedy Hour with Mario Joyner.

They all knew his material.

Yeah, they all of my friends were like, oh, this guy's the best I have.

Speaker 1

Where's he been?

And that was twenty five years ago.

Yeah, you know, like he Yeah, we should have him back on.

Speaker 3

We should absolutely analist please.

Jake Johnson a few.

Speaker 4

He when Memory got in the car we picked him up, that these were the airport days.

Speaker 1

Oh shit, we forgot to drop me off at the airport.

Speaker 3

That's okay, And he had that whole well, I don't get to go to the airport.

Speaker 1

I'm just saying, it's so easy.

You're in, you're out.

It's fine.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Speaker 3

For different, it's different now.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it actually it is.

It's gotten a crowded.

Speaker 4

I think word is out that it's easy to get to, so now it isn't easy.

Speaker 3

Everyone's like, I gotta go.

Speaker 4

Jake had some bit about I I'll go home so my wife can chase me around the house with that rolling pin.

Speaker 1

He just went for some weird andy cap.

Speaker 4

Like I knew what he was talking about, and it made me laugh so hard because it was the most random thing ever.

Speaker 1

Yes, everything he was talking about, Remember how much we laughed.

Speaker 3

We laughed and giggled.

And also it was like it felt like our best friend from high school that we hadn't seen in thirty years.

So I was like, why are you always not on this show?

Speaker 1

Like why are you?

Speaker 3

Why aren't you in my life?

Why aren't you my neighbor?

Yeah, Also it makes me think of a joke.

The first time I saw him was on Letterman and he did that bit about guns don't kill people, it's those damn bullets and then he goes, can you imagine if you just took bullets to a convenience store and tried to hold it up and you're like, I will push this into your head.

Right, But he had that whole bit about people trying to parse words about gun control, which.

Speaker 4

Was just revamped and made famous by Chris Rock special about the what if we made bullets expensive?

He just said provided and yeah, that's the famous one.

No one Jake Johnson should get credit.

He will right now for Chris Rock's whole career.

Speaker 1

What what?

Speaker 4

So sometimes I confidently say things that don't make sense.

Speaker 1

And that can get you sued.

I will get sued.

I didn't know we had that mad listeners.

This is great news.

Speaker 3

We don't have that many listeners, but Chris Rock is the main listener, right right, got.

Speaker 1

Shit, you're a lot of pressure.

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I told you about the time he was on the Ellen Degeneral Show when I was the writer and we wanted him to do a cold open, and so we just wrote this kind of dumb little sketch for him and Ellen to do, and then they were supposed to be doing it and I was in the control room and people are like, Ellen need you, and so I grab my shit up and run down to her dressing room and she had opened the door and been like, Karen, is Karen here?

Speaker 1

And so then I told you this, right, No, I don't know.

This is all new to me.

Speaker 3

She so she was like, we need't careen or whatever.

And then he I walk in and he's Chris Rock is going Karen, Karen, Karen.

We can't do anything without Karen, Karen this and Karen that.

But it was he was like he was doing a bit with about me right, And it was one of the most like I couldn't get the smile off my face.

Speaker 1

But also it was so overwhelming.

Speaker 3

Mars like usually I come in here and like whisper three, He's going to hear and run away and this.

It was like he was like, oh, come and take your place care.

Speaker 4

Yeah, but he's also giving you credit.

He's defending you with that sarcasm.

Speaker 3

He was basically like putting a little It was nuts and so charming.

I was like the most charming experience.

So I'm just like, well, I permanently love this man.

I already thought he was the funniest.

Speaker 4

But yeah, I oh man, I'm that is that's great to hear he used his powers for good, just like justin Timberlake, when we tried to pitch him dancing in a in a big gingerbread man costume, and Ellen was really afraid to ask.

Speaker 3

It's such a big ask, like being this thing, it's feeling like you're all sweaty and you probably won't enjoy yourself.

And so she kind of didn't want to ask because she was like his number one fan.

And so we brought in this sketch to be like, well, here's how we're going to do it, and we'll do this reveal and you come out and do this thing, and basically we're revealing that all along the gingerbread Man, who had in real life been a pay week that we did these gift giveaways we're going to really reveal at the end.

Oh, the gingerbread man is actually justin Timberlake the whole time.

And he but as she was trying to pitch to him, she kind of like lost she lost faith that she should be doing it.

Yeah, and then so she's like, but we don't have to do that, we could do something else.

And then and I was sitting there like, no, we can't, we don't have anything else, like this is the whole plan.

And then he goes no, no, no, hold on and got all into it and like fought for it.

Speaker 1

It was crazy.

Speaker 3

I was like, this is the most generous thing you could fucking be doing right.

Speaker 1

Now, right, It's won a nice surprise.

Speaker 4

And these people all, you know, there's other stories that you're not supposed to like them.

Speaker 1

It's so hard to.

Speaker 4

Keep track, but you know, we're all supposed to collectively not enjoy Fred Durst from Limp Biscuit.

So I was doing a red carpet thing and Fred Durst from Limp Biscuit, Yes, was.

Speaker 1

One of the carp at people.

Speaker 4

And I was like, ah, and his hat was crooked and he was you know, it was like early two thousands or mid to mid odds, okay, and he I had this.

Speaker 1

Thing that my boss made me do.

Speaker 4

We're like, oh, I want to get in there for the Tony Hawk's stand up for skate Parks thing.

I have jokes about skateboarding.

Will you tell some Like I didn't even write these jokes.

I just said sure, And it was proving to be kind of humiliating.

Speaker 1

Vince Vaughn was really mean to me.

Everyone was mean to me.

Speaker 4

Jamie Lee Curtis was the sweetest human in the worlds and ran in bought a hat because I was getting sunburnt, and she put it on my head.

I'll never forget it.

And then the next year she signed it.

It's like, you might not remember, but this hat.

She's like, of course I remember, and she signed it SPF thirty five or greater always and wrote it on the hat.

Speaker 1

And of course I lost the hat.

But I had these.

Speaker 4

Jokes and I was like, hey, these will you do this thing where you tell these jokes?

Speaker 1

He's like, like pretending to be a comedian.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, do you mind if I take the jokes for a minute and go memorize them so I'm not looking at a piece of paper and then he stepped off the carpet all these ignoring all the press, yes, reading these jokes, and I saw him like practicing them, and like like everyone thought he was going crazy because he's gone.

Then he came and he at them all memorized and he's hey, folks, and he did these like cheesy play on word jokes about skateboarding and nailed it.

And I will forever love yes Fred Durst from Biscuit, you know, because it.

Speaker 3

Means that he is a caring, empathetic human who understands what it feels like to be in the business really doing your best on camera and like not.

I'm sure he's had terrible experiences in that exact same pace.

Speaker 4

He's had days where he wakes up and he's like, all I want to do is break stuff.

Speaker 3

All I want to do is chocolate starfish and the hot dog.

Speaker 4

The hot dog flavored water, the chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water.

Speaker 1

Oh innuendo cho the chocolate starfish.

Speaker 3

When that happened and that album came out, and that's what people were talking about.

First of all, I was on a great deal of speed slash diet pills, so everything was a little more extra than it needed to right right, But I was like, we're done, Like this is the dumbest ship and the people that do it are dumb.

That was also the advent of kid rock.

All of a sudden, you just had all these weird pseudo rock White Wrap Nightmare, fucking Yeah, Nu Metal.

Speaker 1

And you Metal and metal ad time.

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Was there was there an umlat over the ut Metal.

Speaker 4

I think that the reason that bothered me so much is because I know what spawned it, and that specifically is the Judgment Night soundtrack where they had Slayer with iced Tea, sound Garden and.

Speaker 1

I forget who else, but they're Aerosmith and run.

Speaker 4

Yes, and also like del the funky Homo Sapien with Sonic Youth, Like it was my confused kid brain where it's like I like this hip hop, but I also like this alternative rock.

Speaker 1

Where will they ever converge?

Speaker 4

Cut to a weird movie with Dennis Leary and Jeremy Piven about something I don't remember what was it called.

Speaker 1

It was called Judgment and the soundtrack was.

Speaker 4

Made for me because I was like, I love this hip hop and I love all these bands.

Speaker 1

I wonder if that was a music director.

Speaker 3

I don't know what that job would be, sound engineer or a music director for that movie that was so good, that's like it was an early I've done this with where I'm like, I love David Fincher movies.

I also love the George Michael video Freedom or whatever, and then it's like and then you find out that was directed by Daviditch.

Speaker 4

I would put money on the fact that this was a music director that made that on At.

Speaker 3

Least do you want to first of all, let me get a financial number.

Sure, you will put money on it.

It's going to be thirty dollars.

Oh, I'm sorry, which video again?

Speaker 1

Twenty I'll do twenty, okay, twenty dollars.

Speaker 4

Yeah, but yeah, wait, do you want it to be a muse?

Speaker 1

We both want the same thing.

Yes, we will each give each other twenty dollars swim or right.

Speaker 3

This is a bet where we agree with each other.

Yeah, but the energy is very hostile.

Speaker 1

Right, Okay, I person, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 5

I got caught up in the spelling of new Metal when I was googling it and I missed what you were saying.

Speaker 1

Oh no, no, it is sorry.

Speaker 3

No.

Speaker 1

The director of Judgment Night their background.

Speaker 3

Music director the because we want to know who put the soundtrack together?

Oh, soundtrack?

No, no, no, or what's the difference between a soundtrack and a musical score?

Soundtrack is what we're looking for about other people's songs.

Speaker 1

But I thought we were deciding on top of that the actual film was directed by a music video director.

Speaker 3

No, I was saying that.

Sorry, I was comparing it to that.

But what I was saying is I bet you this.

If it's a music is it the job that you would have being the music director or whatever on a movie.

You're picking this soundtrack songs?

Speaker 4

Oh sure, supervisor, Yes, yes, there it is supervisor.

Speaker 3

We're learning that's what a music supervisor.

Speaker 4

I was music HR on Judgment Night.

Supervisor just sounds.

Speaker 3

Very I was music Craft Services.

Speaker 4

Yes, I was music foreman and a lot of people gotten a big forkliph as Judgment.

Speaker 5

Nights soundtrack once Acond I have to get this, fucking let it be Mark Ronson It was okay.

The executive producer, Happy Walter is the twenty two year old manager of Cypress Hill in a House of pain.

Speaker 1

We knew it.

Fuck yeah, we owe each other twenty dollars.

Speaker 3

Can you I want mine?

Now in cash, do you can you tell us what Happy Johnson did after that job?

Did he go on to do other things that we also are fantasy?

Speaker 4

He went on to be a non traditional professional golfer that happy Gilmark, thank you.

Speaker 1

It's the only other happy.

So I had to make it.

It was good.

Speaker 3

I'm fast.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it doesn't have to be good if it's fast, and that's right by the.

Speaker 4

Director of the film.

I'm guessing who knows.

The point is what a terrible time for music.

Speaker 3

And but then like somebody inventing in new approach to that kind of music that really was good and it was like mainstreaming rap and mainbow.

In the beginning, rap was like, oh who does this?

And everybody it's all so dangerous and it was that weird kind of like racist thing about rap.

Or it was like this guy's like no, no, no, your favorite white band Aerosmith is super into run DMC too, right right, it all fits everywhere.

Speaker 4

That was really cool.

That was maybe a ground zero for all this.

Speaker 5

Okay, this may need to be an MFM crossover because I found an LA Times article dated August thirtieth, nineteen ninety five that says police investigate forty eight hour disappearance of rap figure and it's Happy Happy Walters, who was reported missing last week and found in Long Beach after a forty eight hour search.

Walters, who manages the rap band Cypress Hill and owns Immortal Records, was found Saturday at the Long Beach Courtyard Marriotte Hotel after police officer recognized his photograph on a television news.

Speaker 1

Broad Wait a second, he's found dead.

Speaker 3

He was just trying to have an affair.

He was found alive, right, he.

Speaker 1

Was found alive at a motel for a hotel.

Speaker 3

Okay, happy, Look, this is a successful person who started a new genre of music.

He's going to want to have an affair.

Yeah, yeah, don't be crazy.

Speaker 4

No, you gotta look.

Just a name change isn't going to actually make you happy.

You have to have an affair.

Speaker 3

Yes, that's where it's scaling someone's wife or husband.

Speaker 1

Yes, what's going to do?

That's what you get out of it.

Speaker 3

Do we know what he just he went crazy in Long Beach for two days.

Speaker 1

I unfortunately it's beyond a paywalls.

Speaker 3

Yes, yes, but take my twenty dollars I one off.

Is this the guy that like remember in the NWA like made for TV movie there was like I think it was like Paul Giamadi in a sweatsuit, getting all that, like the Compton rap scene, getting it all on, getting it all together, but then kind of ripping them off.

Speaker 4

At the same time, I did a poster for a film that my friend Garrett Laura Kitling or his husband Garrett.

Yeah, he was working on this documentary about Bob Dylan and the fact that he was a fan of rap and he would use his let rappers use his recording studio.

Speaker 1

And there's a.

Speaker 4

List of hip hop artists that recorded in Bob Dylan's studio in la I'm not sure what city.

Speaker 1

I didn't see it.

I just drew the poster, and the.

Speaker 4

Poster was like all these classic hip hop icons and just Bob Dylan in there, or as my aunt would say, Bob Dylan, there's happy right there.

Speaker 1

Yeah, he's got a bite.

Speaker 4

Mark from some working girl right under his eye.

Speaker 1

I wanted him to look like that.

Yeah, gold rings, I'm going to make you a star.

Kid.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, don't forget.

I have an edge to me.

My name is Happy because the contrasts.

Speaker 3

Happy is literally younger than us.

Speaker 4

Yes, an old picture from the Ild Judgment night right days.

Speaker 1

I can't remember even what that movie was about.

I just know I saw it.

Speaker 4

In a movie theater and it was before Jeremy Piven was bald, like young Jeremy Piven.

Oh yeah yeah, and Stephendorf and all these people, and Dennis Leary was the bad guy and it was like a warehouse area.

Let's shoot this because there's no Cars at Night, no budget, but the soundtrack.

I listened to it NonStop for two years.

And then this new metal shit kid, I'm like, wait a minute, I know where this came from, and I feel responsible, but it's so bad and to you know, my parents or someone, it sounds like the same stuff, but.

Speaker 1

It was wildly not the same.

Yeahs as Buyah Tribe with.

Speaker 4

You know, Fulda, Funkyomos or you know.

I can't remember a lot.

Speaker 1

Of the bands.

Speaker 4

It's a Slayer with iced Tea, Biohazard.

Speaker 3

And then the story was kind of that they're also friends.

Yeah, sure, Aerosmith hung out with froun DMC.

Speaker 1

Sure at least for that day.

Yeah, they seem to respect each other.

Speaker 4

I wonder if that song they're like, what have you crashed through the wall like that one day when I kicked a hole?

We were both recording and I got really mad Coke remember that.

Speaker 1

Let's have that be the music video.

It's my apology.

Speaker 1

Yes, all day, I dream about six all day, all day.

I dreams.

Speaker 3

I really love your bursts of anger, because I also have bursts of anger, but I never walk away or do something else or do some chin ups on a bar.

I'm just like, blah blah that you have yours and then you I always watch you kind of sideline yourself to go have your punch a wall moment.

Right, Yeah, you don't get mad mad.

It's just interesting to me because I think, did.

Speaker 1

I do it?

What is this in reference to?

Speaker 3

You're talking about punching through the wall?

Speaker 2

Oh no, that.

Speaker 1

I was in.

Yes, I've punched through walls.

Shind you.

I had dents in my locker.

Speaker 4

I it was the hands off parenting, the helicopter parenting.

Speaker 3

Different kinds of parent the walls of schools of parenting.

Speaker 1

I was tugging.

Speaker 4

Yes, I went to no parenting school.

But the most the point is neither did my parents.

Speaker 1

Oh god, it got it.

Speaker 4

There's just a doctor Spock book and you had to borrow it from a neighbor.

I was referencing in the Aerosmith.

Speaker 1

Yeah video they punched through the wall.

Speaker 3

I thought you were saying that you also once punched through a wall because on a record.

Speaker 4

Oh no, no, I was just because I didn't alter my voice because you know I'm not that great a character work.

Speaker 3

Yes, I just on the heels of happy Walters.

You're out of your mind.

Speaker 1

Yet, well you're right happy.

Speaker 3

I guess you can't perform like that and then tell people yeah.

Speaker 4

Exactly, and then all of a sudden, I'm like, excuse me for say goodbye to me for a minute.

From now on, I'm Stephen Tyler in nineteen eighty nine.

Do it, Hi, I'm sorry, I punched a hole in the wall.

Speaker 1

Rue it now.

Speaker 3

It's all connected.

Speaker 4

My big mouth is the reason I've spit upon your a details.

Speaker 3

Okay, I get it all now.

I didn't get that at all, but I was.

I did think you were just kind of referencing being a hot head, and then it was just making me laugh because we both are, but in different ways.

Speaker 4

It's so funny to me those crossovers, and even his daughter that.

Speaker 6

He used to sexually eyes sexual eyes in his.

Speaker 3

Videos, the girl from Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 1

Yes, Live Tyler, Live Tyler.

Speaker 4

My girlfriend went to high school Weather and she used to wear timberlands and hang out with all the hip hop kids.

And she almost got in a fight with her because she accidentally stepped on live Tyler's Timberland's and she said, you stuffed up my Timberlands.

Speaker 1

And got in her face.

Speaker 4

Holy, just like I'm am, I going to get in a fight with Stavid Tyler's daughter.

Speaker 3

That's just Also, don't you have money for more Timberlands?

Speaker 1

I know?

Or did she not?

Speaker 4

It's just stories like that youth, Like if you hang out with people that grew up in New York City in the seventies and eighties and remember that, like we grew up near horses, even though I'm from Montana or from Petaloma, where I had that hole hanging out on a stoop and watching h you know, scenes from like movies like do the Right Thing or something happening in that's your childhood.

I feel like I wish I had some city life.

Speaker 3

Hot lunch gems in the cafeteria right right.

Speaker 4

I also appreciate that I just hung out in the field and played with a piece of wood and made jumps for my bike or whatever.

Speaker 1

But man, I do love.

Speaker 4

Those city stories and I could have been friends with Steven Tyler's daughters.

Speaker 1

Don't look back.

Speaker 4

But she was into hip hop as her dad's rocker.

So she's like, you know what, I'm going the other direction.

Speaker 3

What I love is that when you said that I misunderstood you.

It was like I was having an implanted memory from what you were saying of like, oh, yeah, that that was a funny day when you did that.

But it was just you were just doing chin ups.

I was switching the ending.

Speaker 1

It happened again.

I gotta change my voice.

Speaker 4

I gott I'll alter my voice otherwise they're gonna seem.

Speaker 1

Like I'm talking about myself.

Speaker 3

But your girlfriend who went to high school with many famous people we are learning now, was that the Performing Arts High School in New York City.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that's fucking major.

Yeah, it is a major.

Speaker 4

It's and some of her friends were dancers, some were actors.

There was me I wish And it was a hard to get into, but a public school.

Speaker 1

It wasn't a private.

Hey, you have to pay tuition.

Speaker 4

You just had to audition to get into this school that I should know the name of right now, you should.

Speaker 3

You also had to want fame, but fame costs, and right there was where you were going to start paying.

Speaker 1

In sweat, I believe it is the school from fame.

Speaker 3

Yes, it's the School of Performing Arts.

The fucking whatever whatever, school of performing art.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I know it doesn't matter words are they that important?

Speaker 3

But also that was like, so Fame was the first rated art movie I saw in a movie theater.

No, sorry, Little Darlings.

Was my cousin.

Speaker 1

Charles knuck Us in Their Memories.

That's a great movie that I confused for my own.

Matt Dillon on a BMX bike.

Speaker 3

Remember when he romance to you at camp that's summer.

Speaker 1

Yes, and there was a hole in the wall.

Wait that was porky.

Speaker 3

No, that's a yeah, that's a different one from nineteen seventy nine.

Uh, But Fame in the movie theater.

My friend Amy Levin and her dad and her dad's girlfriend took us to see Fame at the Plaza Theater in Pedaluma, which was an art house theater that would do the double features of like, you know this already movie from the seventies and that.

So we went to see Fame and literally the entire place was fucking packed, and people were like, the first card comes up and it just says Fame and then it goes to like the five six seven night and people whatever, and like the Fame card came up.

The entire crowd was like, yeah, like went crazy like it was a concert film, and then all this smoke went up in the air because people were fully just lighting joints and getting insane.

Speaker 1

Really to watch this movie?

Yes, wow?

Speaker 3

Then yes, it was a wild like hippie experience.

Speaker 1

It was so cool.

That's so funny.

Speaker 4

See that's something that maybe you had growing up that I think marijuana back then was considered the most illicit.

Maybe I'm being naive and there was older kids smoking it.

But if anyone was smoking weed when I was a kid, I thought.

Speaker 1

They were going to get shot in the head.

Speaker 4

By right, they're going to prison.

I'm going to get locked up just for being near them.

Yes, I was so paranoid about weed.

Speaker 3

That was Nancy Reagan's America.

She wanted you to suffer like that.

Speaker 4

Yeah, and then take the swear words out of music that was Yeah.

Speaker 1

Turns out she was right.

Speaker 4

Turns out she was the drummer in a garage like a Go Go's sounding band.

Someone had a tape, Now played it for me, and they were good.

She was a drummer in a band and they were good.

Well, the name Tipper Gore is so rock and roll.

The idea that she wasted it the way she did.

It's like that would that would be the coolest drummer's name of all time.

Speaker 1

Right, they were a good band and that's why.

So which is Gazzi?

Speaker 4

I like, No, it's like called the Runaways or the Oh no, not the Wildcat Okay, thank you.

See it seems like I'm talking out of my ass, but that's just a character I do.

Speaker 1

That sounds like my voice.

Yeah, the Wildcats.

Speaker 4

She was a drummer in a band called the So Then her husband's like, Oh, aren't worried, I'll clean up America.

Speaker 1

There I did.

I tried.

Speaker 3

I think she did a thing.

There's a chance I'm making this up.

This is for entertainment purposes only, but I think Tipper Gore went way the fuck out.

This happened to many girls that I grew up with.

Right, they go through a difficult period, maybe do a little drug experimentation, maybe they're doing rock and roll band stuff, and they go way the far out here, and then they come all the way back and overcorrect into being a borderliner Republican.

Speaker 1

I've seen it so many times, right.

Speaker 3

When they go like suddenly the punk rock groll is now born against seen it so many times, and you're like, I can't you still have five holes in your face where you used have rings.

Speaker 4

Yeah, you need you put soap in your mouth and blow bubbles through those holes in your bottom.

Speaker 1

Let I only my friend Zach used to have piercings here.

Speaker 4

On each side under his lap, and later he was a cowboy, actually worked on a ranch, so he went from being punk rock guy at a cowboy guy.

But he still had these holes and so he'd be chewing and the chew spit would be coming out of these holes, and I'm like, you're the only cowboy with that specific problem.

Speaker 1

It's the popped polo collar of ex punk rock.

Yeah, that's very funny.

Yeah, it's so funny.

Speaker 4

And then meanwhile, I don't change in a way that I am almost like, what have I learned nothing?

Speaker 1

I have t.

Speaker 4

Shirts that I still wear from college, Like I've changed very little.

Speaker 3

You've been skateboarding this whole time.

Speaker 1

Yes, yeah, I'm doing the same tricks for God's sake.

Well, but you're getting emotionally more stable.

Speaker 3

Thank you, that for sure.

Because it's not true.

You did not punch a hole.

Speaker 1

No, No, I didn't.

I wasn't that punchy.

You didn't.

Speaker 3

No, no, you just HD some chin ups in a rage, right, equally funny, I think.

Speaker 4

And I respect it.

I love anyone, even self deprecating.

I like people that rage on themselves.

I know that it's not healthy.

I don't endorse it.

It's something you need to fix in yourself if you're selfish.

Speaker 3

But you're saying as opposed to turning it.

Speaker 1

Outward, right.

Speaker 4

I'm a big fan of creating your own own obstacles, ruining things for yourself though.

That's just the type of person I relate to.

I hear you, I don't.

I don't endorse that.

Yeah, believe in yourself, follow your dreams.

But also, but also don't be cocky and ensure yourself.

Speaker 1

Right.

Speaker 4

There's a fine line between between cockiness and confidence.

Speaker 3

And you better fucking walk it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and it's so fine.

I don't like either.

If you're confident, girl, don't come and peekcock in front of me.

Who do you think you are?

Speaker 3

Yeah, you're probably wrong.

Yeah, But also if you're insecure, hey, buddy, don't believe in yourself.

Speaker 4

Right, That's what I want out of people.

Yeah, I want to hear you talk shit about yourself.

Other people get turned off.

They're like, boy, that person's negative.

I'm like, I'm are you kidding?

That was the funnest time I've had.

Right, is that we both made fun of ourselves.

Speaker 3

What happened in negativity.

I think there's a real there's a there's an argument to be made to bring it back in a real way.

Because I was thinking about this this morning in my TikTok addiction.

Speaker 1

Lots of people like to.

Speaker 3

Get on and make a video where they go, hey, if no one's told you this today, I believe in you and I love you, you're beautiful, whatever, And I'm just like, I mean, it's a nice idea if that dopamine wise does something for people, but it's not true.

They don't.

If you were like, hey, can you please lend me fifty dollars, they'd be like block.

I mean, it's just like a it's weird lip service.

I'm like, why do we need that?

And when it does, it is not real?

Speaker 4

Right, You're right when even if it's useful, even if it's a useful mantra, let's let's wake up and say this day is going to be the easiest version of a day or whatever, and I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I will use that.

Yeah, but I still think, yeah, but what baggage are you hiding?

How are you?

Speaker 3

Who are you to tell me to be positive?

Oh?

Speaker 1

Really?

You're all healthy?

Are you in the head?

I bet you got some demons?

You're the worst.

Speaker 3

You're the I think people who are I'm gonna go way out on a limb here.

Speaker 4

Do it.

Speaker 1

I won't jiggle no tree.

That was like the seven to eleven guy you wore off on me.

I'm gonna do a yoga trade.

Speaker 3

If we wait into seven eleven in Merseill, California.

Speaker 1

Where are you at?

What was I gonna say?

Speaker 4

If you're going to go out on a limb about the self help gurus and their past, their checkered past.

Speaker 3

I think that people who choose lifestyle traits now, people are gonna feel very attact by this.

But I'll give an example, sure of like a yoga tea or somebody that studied yoga, or somebody that's, like I am a hardcore vegan.

I think there is something to at least be noted when people are demonstrably quote unquote moral, because I think it's covering something up right, right, Because why do you why are you It's like if you're eating something or not eating something, who gives a shit?

But you hear about it a lot or you have to be in it, and it's like, well, then you're getting the benefit of a doubt right that you might not actually deserve morally, but you just are like, but I care about deer or whatever the fuck the argument is.

And it's like, okay, but are you actually a decent human being?

Speaker 1

Or did you used to stab deers?

Yeah?

Speaker 3

Are you actually secretly killing deer?

Speaker 4

And it's a cover up when someone starts talking to you about our Lord and the word of the Lord, and it's like, yeah, I learned I found him in prison.

Speaker 1

And it's like, well, I so then you had a void that needed to be filled.

I don't.

I don't have that void.

I don't have that Yeah, I didn't.

What about never going to prison?

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Speaker 4

And also that's why I never found the lord.

He's always getting lost in prison.

Speaker 1

Where am I?

I'm gazes?

Speaker 2

Is that the cell block?

Speaker 1

This is the right cell block?

Speaker 3

This is cell block five?

Speaker 1

Oh so many offended people?

Why did I give him a goofy?

Speaker 3

I mean we we just we actually just offended, literally, like ten different groups of people at one time, trying to just be conversational.

Speaker 1

I started it.

Yeah, all you yogi's, we know why you really got into it.

Speaker 3

Fucking phony.

Speaker 1

Yeah you get suck your own dick.

How you learned to yoga?

Speaker 3

Have those ribs removed you perf?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 4

Yeah, oh, I go take my shoes off in your house.

I know why you started stretching.

That's the same reason you have a hammock in your living room.

Speaker 3

I love the people that you have to take your shoes off in their house where it's like, that's disgusting wearing outside shoes.

It's like, and yet everyone does it all day every day and they're fine.

So is I mean, sure, preferences are preferences, but.

Speaker 4

You better have white shag carpet because in my house you I don't want to see your gross feet.

Speaker 1

No, thank you.

I have boots that you're supposed to put on.

I provide them me boots.

Speaker 4

Hey, before you come in, will you cover up your take those flip flops off and put on these combat land because I don't need to see your gross hass yellow nails.

Speaker 3

No one needs to look at those feet.

Put some.

Speaker 1

Corn rim over on those onions.

Speaker 3

We love you, we believe in you.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but you I love your lifestyle to it.

Yeah, and you give great advice.

Speaker 3

We support anything that you want and nothing that you don't want.

Speaker 1

However, onions smell and look like onions.

No, it's from Digital Underground.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, you're just doing another quote.

Speaker 4

I think it's I think it's Yeah, it's the guy from Digital Underground.

I might be a part of the funky dance.

Speaker 1

Smell it London smell look like onions.

Speaker 4

Tupacs in the background dancing like boy one day, I'm gonna have better lyrics than that.

Speaker 1

And then Chris Cornell's over there noodling a guitar.

Speaker 4

It's like when did he kick a hole in the wall and come in here?

Wait a second, so many mashups.

Speaker 3

Wait should we drive down there and see what that fire truck and copp are doing?

Oh yeah, hey, oh, I think they're just backing into the fire department unless there was a car accident in front of the fire department.

Speaker 1

Yeah, why would there be a cop?

Also, we better see if they need back up?

Also, is that our street?

Hey, do you guys need help?

Her dad was a fireman.

My brother in law nephew.

Speaker 3

Yeah, we know a lot of stuff they talk about in the firehouse.

Speaker 1

Yeah, would that help at all?

I could just shine the bumper.

I know you guys like to do that.

Speaker 3

My dad really enjoyed The Jaws of Life.

Speaker 1

Are you guys all going?

You probably cooked a big thing of pasta today, right?

Speaker 3

Are you What movie are you watching tonight?

Speaker 4

Yeah, it's the only way to really feed a group of people.

I know some of the stuff going in some of my family.

Oh oh oh, oh see, we're making light.

There really was a car There was a car accident.

She looks, okay, that carls on the phone, but she is sad.

Maybe I guess we're gonna do it.

Let's do it, let's try it.

Speaker 1

Sorry, we got it.

We gotta go down there.

Speaker 3

We worked down here.

Speaker 1

That was just it's.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I can't do anything about it.

Speaker 1

That fender was more than bent.

Speaker 3

You know, when there's a car parked in the opposite direction on the other side of the road that there has been a car accident.

Speaker 1

They just had to get it out of there.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah, And the time to go back to England where it's normal for you to drive on that side.

Speaker 3

Yeah, time I should have rolled my window down and said time to go back to England.

Speaker 1

I'll get him next to no one never hears that one.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I think it's okay to say go back to England, but just say it to any white guy.

Speaker 3

The only reason they got a full fire department is because they crashed in front of the fire department.

Oh right, the fire department never comes to a car accident.

Speaker 1

I think they do They not, though I guess not.

Speaker 3

They're more every I had a guy rearund me so hard that it was insane, and oh.

Speaker 1

Did you see that?

Yes?

I did not like that.

Oh what what are we looking at?

Speaker 3

Oh?

That guy was walking and he did a flinch thing.

Oh that looked like a glitch.

Oh, but it was kind of a full body twitch.

Speaker 1

Did you see it on a leaf?

Oh?

Speaker 3

Am?

Speaker 1

I going, is he like the cat in the matrix?

Speaker 3

It was a little surreally Well maybe it.

Speaker 4

Was one of those optical illusions like a pop and lock dance background stin.

Speaker 1

He was just trying to have some fun.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what we'll think.

So, yeah, I didn't see it, but I did see your reaction.

Speaker 3

It was a little bit like you know when you're about to fall asleep and then you for some reason real quick dream that you tripped in your falling and that you do a fast, hard twitch.

Right.

It was that, but walking across the street, I didn't like it.

Speaker 4

I still do the one where I don't even know that I as I fall asleep, I think of falling or something.

Speaker 1

Sometimes it happens without me even using my brain, and I jolt and I my entire body.

I kick, yeah, and it wakes me up.

Speaker 4

Yes, that happens more often now I hear that that is from don't say Parkinson's is a you.

Speaker 3

Have full on parkinson Oh nuts?

Yeah, full blown?

Sorry, full blown a full blown.

Oh it's horrible.

Uh, it's something about your brain is switching from conscious aware, you know, right in the FADA state, into beta or whatever.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Yeah, from active screen time to screensaver.

Speaker 3

Yep, to toasters flying with little wings.

Remember that one.

Speaker 1

I do reminds me of the old.

Speaker 4

One of the top sellers in my T shirt days, my flock of bagels design.

Speaker 1

Oh just a v formation of bagels with wings.

Nothing to see here, twelve dollars please?

Speaker 3

Did people buy that up?

Oh?

Speaker 1

Sure they liked it.

Speaker 4

Guitar God had Jesus shredding on the guitar.

Oh yeah, I was gonna get famous.

Speaker 3

Wait so these were some nice drawings that you had kind of at the ready.

Speaker 4

No, there's my venture into trying to make T shirt companies when I was younger.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I can do this on my own with comedy shirts.

Yep.

Speaker 4

And then I stopped one day and I'm like, wait, would I wear any of these?

I wouldn't even wear.

Speaker 3

These, speaking which, this is a really nice collection of rear window stickers on this van.

But then I'm like, is that true or is that is there anything problematic?

Speaker 5

Oh?

Speaker 3

Oh right, don't they seem kind of cool?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 4

Yeah, but then you see you start to see some of the symbols.

There's an arrow, there's an ass, there's.

Speaker 1

A lightning bowlt what's up with those two lightning bolt esses?

Speaker 3

We need to be careful of s's used with like e being bolt spelling.

Speaker 4

People use them all the time because they look cool, because a kid like Snow Summit used to have two blatantly.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but they didn't know they're just graphic design.

Speaker 3

They didn't know Nazi symbolism.

Speaker 1

Fuck that they do now because they're more popular again.

Speaker 3

Because they got a subscription to the History Channel.

Speaker 4

Yeah, and they left their basements and they're look they're out on the street right now.

Speaker 3

Look look they're masked up and they're.

Speaker 1

Ready to roll.

We're ready to say something poorly.

Yeah, it's yeah.

I think it was just that was a series of stickers.

Speaker 4

That was an outdoorsy I'm gonna guess Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 1

Van Okay, a lot of it.

They had a sticker that said y'all.

One of the stickers was the shape of Oregon.

Speaker 6

That's why I fuck yeah, I'm a bit of a geography hound.

Speaker 1

Give me a shape.

Speaker 6

I'll guess the state around towns of visuals, RUMs mill, keep them coming, a triangle a town.

Speaker 1

It's a percussion city.

Oh, I had no idea there's a driveway here.

I thought you were just saying fuck it and slamming into the curb.

Speaker 3

I was like, you know what, fuck all these people.

Speaker 1

My heart dropped.

Speaker 3

Isn't this great?

It's my bill so I could park here because even though it's not like technically a parking spot, it's it's only up to us to have people to I think that's.

Speaker 1

The thing with a with a curb cut like this, that's what they call and skateboarding.

Speaker 4

It looks like a driveway, but there's no door that what used to be a garage door back when this was a transmission shop or whatever.

Speaker 3

And we'll get back there someday, I hope.

Speaker 1

I've been wanting to gut my hardy on that front carpet all month.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 4

I think it is up to the resident, So don't worry unless you call the tow truck on yourself during one of your big polar episodes.

Speaker 1

Oh, another group of offended people.

Speaker 3

Listen, Let's do a real quick before we wrap up.

We'll do just a real quick list of apologies.

I directly apologize to a vegan, to any vegans, vegetarians, or people with just kind of gastric restrictions, I'm sorry to have judged you.

I was wrong.

Speaker 4

I'd liked an issue issue of official apology to any martyrs out there, as well as Yogi's.

Speaker 1

And self induced blow people.

Speaker 3

I'd like to apologize to Jake Johnson.

We should keep your name out our mouth, because who are we to talk about you in any way.

Speaker 1

Shape.

Speaker 3

A guy with a beard and long hair and sample.
