Mal porn?

Do you need to ride?

Do you need to ride?

Do you need to ride?

Do you need to ride?

Do you need to ride?

Do you need to ride?

Ride with Karen and Chris?

Welcome to Do you need to ride?

This is Chris.

Fairbanks and this is Karen Tilgarriff.

I had some trouble with the saying of our parts.

I had to retell it, which why even re record if I'm gonna tell on myself.

I mean, I think this is the behind the scenes stuff that people really This is what gets people about us.

People love when you say a thing and then immediately dissect it.

Yes.

Yeah, especially on a podcast where people are just trying to escape the bullshit of their own life.

We're like, no, no, no, we have tons of bullshit on this podcast.

Yeah.

I actually, I do think dealing with other people's bullshit is a relief from your bullshit, even if it's very similar bullshit, because especially if.

It's similar to bullshit, do you mind if I mispronounced the words similar bullshit?

I have a tendency I rub off on people.

I'm catching it from you, uh, I think other people's bullshit.

The more similar it is, the better you feel.

Because you don't, you can be in total denial about how similar it is, and then'll be like, oh, let me help you right with this terrible problem you seem to have alone.

And it's like, well, yeah, it's everybody's problem.

No, exactly, That's what I try and do with so many conversations.

But then you read about what you're not supposed to do in a conversation, and that is listen to someone's problem and then try and relate it to one of your problems.

You're just supposed to listen to someone's problem.

I've been trying to work on that.

It's hard because also you still are in I was just talking to somebody about this because I was saying I read that, and I read it that they said it's a sign of being on the spectrum.

Maybe that people on the spectrum want you to understand that they understand what you're saying by saying, here's how it happened to me, right, And then people who are on a different sort of type of brain style, they're like, how dare you change the subject.

Off of me?

Exactly?

And it's usually when you're talking to someone that isn't a comedian.

I think a lot of the comics we know are in the spectrum hell yeah, because that's how you, you know, go from one joke and segue and think on your feet.

It's because you can't sit in a moment yes like a normal person.

You truly don't want to.

And then especially if that moment's not about you, what the hell are we even doing here?

Is my thinking exactly, because when you're doing stand up you learn right away it has to be about you, yes, which I always had trouble with, who am I?

I'm not gonna tell stories about me.

I will steal interesting stories from my friends and say it's me, yes, but I'm still pretending it's me.

One of my favorite bits in my first like ten minutes of comedy, was a thing I saw my friend Alicia do one time, and it was so funny when she did it that I was like, oh, that's mine.

Now didn't discuss it with her.

I was just like, oh, yeah, that's so funny.

I'll do it like I'm representing funny ideas from this part of the state.

Right was kind of my interview as a representative of just everyone that's been in my life.

I'm going to adopt this.

And I've done it so many times on this podcast.

So many stories I've left out that it was a friend of a friend.

I just say it's me because you know what, it will make a story boring credit.

Yeah, giving a bibliography as you tell it, but just the big bibliography is one listing and it would be easy to say, yeah, but it's not, doesn't ad You got to get to the story that's true.

You can't cite your sources.

You can also do a thing where you act like it's your story, let everybody experience it's that, and then afterwards, ago, that actually happened to my friend Dan.

Right.

Then that's like a fun way to end a story.

Maybe I'll start doing that.

That's kind of a funny way of going here's me lying again.

Yeah, I told I talked to my sister on the phone last night and she reminded me of how many stories because she is a listener of our podcast.

I'm told that they are not me.

It was a cousin or my friend ross or And I don't I do it so effortlessly because I gotta trim the fat.

Yes, for sure, you have to trim that credit fat.

Yep.

That makes me so grateful.

My sister is not interested in anything I do or say and doesn't listen to any of these podcasts because she would be She would truly call up and be like, that was an outright lie.

Because I do stuff like that.

We're like, and I don't think I do it that often, but when I do it, it's very bewildering where I'm like, I just kind of jug the end of that in a way that's factually untrue.

Yeah, it's what we learned to do.

Yeah, if every story had all the elements of entertainment, our jobs would be everyone would be a comedian.

We wouldn't need comedians.

You need someone to edit a story to make it good.

That's called a joke.

Yes, I'm simplifying everything.

It's about efficiency at the end of the day, right, That's all we care about.

It's not about us people loving us.

It's not that right.

We just want people to use their time correctly.

Thank you, You're welcome.

We had Oftentimes people call me that our friends and family in other cities, and they're like, oh, you had a big earthquake, Like the news will blow things out of proportion.

And I've gotten eerily used to just my house shaking.

But the one the other day it felt like the initial bank.

It was a loud bang.

I thought a car somehow drove up to my little place on a hill and ran into the wall.

It felt like a car hitting the wall.

And I immediately got up and looked at my eighty five pound redwood burrel clock that my dad made, and it was leaning forward and I just grabbed it.

It would have totally injured me, but so I kind of reacted in a way.

And then I went outside and I could hear I'd never been outside for during what I knew was an earthquake, and usually you don't feel them outside, but I could hear slabs of cement grinding together.

Really, yeah, it was a big one, and I or maybe it wasn't a big one richter scale wise.

But it went right through downtown Los Angeles.

Well, I do believe it was a long one that this is what somebody else told me.

I think it was Georgia.

When we were talking about it on the other podcast, My Favorite Murder.

Have you ever listen that?

I of course I've heard of it.

We were talking about this because she said, did you feel the earthquake?

And I said no, I was at the dentist.

And then we couldn't stop laughing because that it made perfect sense to me as I said it to her, but she was like, what the fuck are you talking about?

I was like, yep, you're right on this one.

But I just didn't feel anything.

And I don't know if it was just because the spot I was in, you know, doesn't have those there, or what, right, but I felt truly nothing it.

Yeah, I think I was near that fault line, which apparently is more dangerous than the San Andreas one.

The Los Angeles fault line.

It is called something, and I do not remember what it is called.

It's it's got a serious let's call it the Los Angeles fault line.

Okay, Yeah, that was my idea.

Right, Okay, but let's agree that your idea is the best one and we're going to adopt it.

Okay.

And then when we do adopt my ideas.

I think it's really important that you say that was the best idea, real loud, that.

Was a really good idea.

We should call the news and tell them to change the name of whatever it is right now perfect.

I do have the name if you'd like it.

It's just the Los Angeles one.

I mean, we can't anymore.

Go ahead, twenty Hill's fault I kind of.

Like Life's Lost Angele's fault line, or twenty Hills.

Would ruin the magic.

Yeah, Twente Hills sounds pretentious.

It also reminds me of Dorothea Puente, who is the old lady in Sacramento who killed all of the people in her boarding house and buried them in the backyard.

I mean, but was it her fault No, get that was an old joke.

Oh, her fault line?

Yeah, got it.

We can edit, we and we do.

Yeah, we will.

Yeah, we'll take that one out.

I like it.

Stricken from the record.

We have a bailiff in the backseat that takes jokes and strikes them from the guy, so you only get the good stuff.

And he's he's his name is Rusty.

He's tired.

He's been doing it a long time.

Wasn't that the guy on the People's Court Rusty Uh?

In the Doug Luellen days, Doug Luellen was the interviewer.

Yep, how do you feel about losing?

Not good?

Yeah, that was half the show.

I loved it as a kid.

Rusty.

Yeah.

It was Wapner's bailiff or.

Some name maybe some name that was a little bit nickname me country vibes, Bull?

Are you thinking of Bull?

And Night Court?

Let's talk about all the TV bailiffs.

Let's see who's judge duties.

That guy he's a firecracker.

Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, he tells it like it is.

He's one of my favorite bailiffs.

His name's Rusty.

He's rusty.

Also, you have no choice when your name's Rusty.

You're either a bailiff or a truck driver.

Yep, yeah, or the tin man.

Yes.

Have I watched the documentary about how the set of The Wizard of Oz was cursed?

Why?

Yes?

I am.

Oh did you see the thing?

It looks like someone swinging from a tree in the background, and the rumor was that someone killed themselves, but the truth of it was it was just a bird walking through.

Well it was something hanging, and they let you think maybe it was, but it was not a munchkin actor.

The munchkins were what they were called in the TV show.

I don't believe that's a slight.

It's from a TV show.

They put a bird in there to cover the shadow.

They superposed a beautiful bird to cover that shadow.

Oh and one of the people in the documentary is Neil Hamburger.

What's his real names, Greg, Greg Turkinton.

I believe, okay, he is like a video buff and he has a VHS of the very rare copy where they don't have the bird covering up.

Oh what very much looks like a human form hanging, and so they kind of leave it open.

But someone saying, ah, it's a sandbag that fell off a girder, but man, it looks like a person to me.

Yeah, And so it's it's very much.

It hasn't been debunked like the you know, the cardboard cutout we grew up fearing in Three Men and a Baby, But so many things happened, and it did debunk the the model painted gold that I've always thought died because in the closing finger, apparently that didn't happen.

But the guy who played the tin man.

Rusty as you like to call him, he actually was very ill and it was because they were putting silver spray.

Paint on him.

Yeah, he skin.

He was sickly his whole life.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of that in movie another Russian movie be where people were like laying they were doing a lot of shoots in this toxic water like Chernobyl water.

Oh and and they all these actors had died that were acted in this film that is apparently Tarkowski or some filmmaker classic.

It was really interesting.

So watch that if you're looking for more TV to watch.

To then talk about, because there there's another one where it was the there's a John Wayne movie that they filmed in the desert after they did the A bomb tests or then those nuclear tests.

Oh you know, there's like that footage.

Where the people's like lips are blown back and they have the goggles on right right, and they just they like went out there to intentionally watch the tests.

Like New Mexico maybe.

Yeah.

So they soon after went and filmed a western out there, and you know, John Wayne died of cancer.

The the theory is that that a bunch of cast members from that movie got cancer.

And the theory is because of that, because it was basically still radioactive and they didn't know.

I mean there was so much back then.

The little lifts that he put in his boots to make him six', Five he had little, Wedges oh, yeah those could have been made of.

Lead so many.

Things you know they used to give heroin to as cough syrup to.

Children, yes baby's, teething how do you assue?

It coain and mental, cigarettes and that's that's like the era that you, know our parents grew up.

In so, Yeah i'm happy we have our.

Dads it's my.

Point it's pretty.

Nice, yes it's Pretty it's things have definitely gotten, Better.

YES i think, so except now we're all just walking around with like a confetti bushel of microplastics in our, skin and it's.

Making us mispronounce easy to.

Pronounce, yes, yes.

Certainly uh uh DID i say patty?

Animals BUT i fear it's out of.

It it's out of caring for.

Them, sure we live in a doggie dog literal.

World dogs are eating, Dogs it's What i'm.

Saying clear in the, streets now.

What?

Streets wild shows THAT i watched that are after a war, happens dogs take.

Over But i'm sure it happens occasionally out in the streets.

And the dog just eats another.

Dog.

Yeah, see it's it's, actually it's pretty.

Enjoyable it's not the worst.

Thing, no there's definitely worse.

Because it's not based in.

Reality Because you've got to picture a really small, dog like a chihuahua eating like a golden Lab that's.

Hilarious was it just.

A joke THAT i Believe Paton oswald told or maybe a video that clearly has been, Doctored but someone, witnessed And i'm sure it's.

Happened a giant bird carrying a barking, dog like a tiny dog that was In Paris hilton's.

Purse, no the dog was like we burnt and the birds rested it down on a little cedar chip.

Bed oh, yeah that's how it.

Ends, okay, great See i'm getting.

Better you really.

Improvements, well you know what.

HAPPENS i, mean this show is based in a place called, reality and birds are out, there giant, eagles they're picking up rabbits and.

Stuff and then they're in the.

City there's coyotes out here.

Prey but my Baby, blossom who's scared of.

Everything it's like my constant.

Fear, yeah BECAUSE i have to leave the house and leave the door open so they can pee in.

Stuff and then it's like, HOPE i hope nothing kills awesome.

Today, yeah it's it's worth thinking.

About i've been very seriously thinking about a cat That I'VE i just have my eye on this cat that's being fostered AND i BUT i keep worrying about things that could go, wrong or IF i can provide the best cat place Because Los angeles is riddled with, coyotes and unlike, dogs they don't care if you're, confident no coyotes will mad dog you in the as a human holding a golf.

Club they will come up and, go oh, yeah what are you going to do about?

People that's.

It so.

Cool, yeah And i'm such a.

Fan you're From?

Minnesota is that?

CORRECT i, am actually and people Think montana is the Mid, yeah they Very but what people don't, know and maybe that's why they're thinking, this there was an in state tuition deal people from could play in state tuition In.

Minnesota and you know WHERE i went wrong is YOUR IMDb says you're from the, big the Big sky.

State is that what it?

Is?

Yeah AND i said that Is.

Minnesota, YEAH i think that's the effect right where you're just Everything's minnesota these.

Days, yeah, yeah because everything Is.

MINNESOTA i also recently found Out minnesota is a part of The, midwest AND i said that to somebody and that got very upset with.

Me and it was a good faith, question If i'm being.

Honest well it, is isn't it That minnesota is where you think of?

First or?

YES i grew up people Thinking montana is The, midwest And i'm, like, hey there's a couple Of dakotas that are substantial in size in the.

Middle.

YEAH i Think i'm somebody THAT i really prided.

MYSELF i think it was the only THING i, had was like being able to memorize state.

Capitals and THEN I i'm not in front of a map and some he's, like tell me Where North dakota is AND i.

COULDN'T i couldn't describe.

IT i couldn't tell you what states are around.

It it's just sort of an.

Island, yea, yeah WELL i think that knowing all the, capitals it's just a thing that you, memorized AND i question someone's integrity when they've done.

That this is a party, trick.

Huh in very.

Confrontational, yeah, No i'm being called out AND i love.

That, ACTUALLY i will.

Flip a table if someone SAYS i can draw the shape of all the.

States that's WHERE i cut it.

Off so there we actually do have common.

Grounds, yes WHEN i got fake angry about, THAT i forgot you had just, said.

No it's.

Okay and to be, Honest i'm not very good at.

It i'm good at, it but there's absolutely in any given room there's one person that's better at it than.

Me, Yeah i'm a solid number two across the, border.

Right, right there's someone that uh knows the past, Capitals, yes up until seventy, eight, which of course they'll talk about some you, know movement that changed.

THINGS i learned the capitals because my sister memorized the capitals by making a tape recording of herself on the brand new stereo my parents had just bought, that and it came with this microphone you plugged, in and she stood there and made a tape and then listened to the tape over and.

Over oh my.

Gosh so When i'm trying to think of a state, CAPITAL i can hear my.

Sister she's, like you, Know.

Alaska she was trying to do like an announcer voice as she did.

It did she get into, podcasting because that sounds like maybe she also should have gotten into.

Podcasting she probably should, Have BUT i think MAYBE i was, like give me that, mic and SO i really had the drive to get into podcasting because it was withheld from.

Me, absolutely you didn't have an opportunity with the.

Mic so you, said the MIC's going to become my, personality, RIGHT i was, LIKE i love.

That, Yeah i'm tired of being this outsider watching my sister get all the.

Glory.

Right, actually that was the start of my, career is recording my, sister recording me say things and playing it.

Back and that was the funnest game.

Ever is that?

True?

Yes like WHAT i.

Just making me act things out or sing little, songs and then we'd listen to the recording and it was so.

Exciting it was like a fun game to play with a much older.

Sister were you.

The funny one in the.

FAMILY i THINK i read somewhere actually that you used to reenact movie scenes in front of your, family AND i related that to that very, much because, yes my family would have me perform.

Oftentimes it was.

Puppets, OH i love.

THAT i thought the show would be promoted throughout the.

House i'd hide behind the dining room, table AND i don't remember many of the, productions but they were mostly puppet based and yours were full.

Movie so we got really into The, lion The witch and the.

Wardrobe the one or till The swinton was The White, witch AND i was in love With Tilda swinton at the, time and SO i was, Like, okay, Great i'm The White.

Witch The White witch is the star of the.

Show she was popping up in scenes where she wasn't, ordinarily giving looks sort.

Of, great improvising a little bit of.

Dialogue she was getting in interacting with characters maybe she wouldn't be interacting with.

Ordinarily and THEN i was also so it was me and my siblings and my, cousins and they were getting recast on the fly as.

WELL i just had a real vision for what the show was supposed to look.

Like who was in the.

Audience sometimes my, aunt sometimes.

Nobody sometimes we were just performing for the love of, performing WHICH i actually think maybe is the thing THAT i think performing for almost no people sets you up to understand what you find funny the, Best yeah.

Right and it gets you used to being on set Because i've noticed from starting in stand up, COMEDY i panic when no one's, laughing and that's because they're holding a camera or doing their job or doing.

Sound.

Yeah, sure and THEN i don't want to ruin the take and blah blah.

Blah SO i, do honestly have trouble knowing If i've done a good job BECAUSE i base it on.

Laughter and that's that's the downfall of being a.

COMIC i think.

My sister used to.

Make my sister used to come into my room and go she would say the name she she'ld be Like Pat, benatar hit me with your best shot two, minutes and then she would go back and her Friend adriam would be in her in her, room and THEN i had two minutes to make up a routine and basically like it always involved a chair and dancing around a, chair and THEN i would have to go in do my hit me with your best shot performance for, them do a full like dance and usually lip, sync and then it would be over and then she go get.

Out there was no, applause there was no any.

Appreciation it would just be like get, out AND i knew they'd come back and assign me a new.

One SO i was just sitting in the other, room wait for the next.

Thing is your Sister Laura.

MICHAELS i know SHE'S i think she really set in this kind of like a hardcore training early of like you'll get no applause and you'll keep coming back and.

Performing, yeah because this is the only stage in.

Town.

Baby.

Yeah, yeah you have you auditioned For Saturday Night?

LIVE i have.

NOT I u one of my friends was on one year AND i submitted a packet and she then was not ON snl the next.

Year and that's as far as MY snl.

Knowledge BECAUSE i am such an appreciator of the.

SHOW i feel LIKE i was one of those kids where LIKE i watched all of the ones from like the late seventies and into the early.

Eighties if we had those BOX dvd sets when they were coming out sort of in the mid, ats is that what we're calling?

IT i, Think so there's nothing.

Else, SURE i.

Feel self conscious about, that But i'm gonna do it during that time.

Period BUT i you, KNOW i knew pretty early on THAT i didn't think that like that was a route for, me even THOUGH i was an appreciator of like the, comedy and it definitely shaped a lot of like especially like The Christian wig, era shaped a lot of like my comedic, sensibilities like sketch has.

Never per se been like my uh my, big my big thing right.

RIGHT i started in an improv group AND i got kind of traumatized by that format of, really here's for.

People we're all gonna wear a white dress shirt and we need a suggestion LIKE i did it enough to wear, IT i would.

Panic and then WHEN i started doing stand, up it gave me more control AND i was less.

Scared oh how.

INTERESTING i do find that happens a lot with, improv where it's people that are sort of like this would be so much funnier IF i just wrote everything.

Down, well that's WHY i like all the shows you've been a part of with the dropout DOT.

Tv, Right, yeah.

It's it's a really fun and interesting way to do improv BECAUSE I i first and foreman.

LIKE i spent a lot of time by myself as a, kid and SO i spent a lot of time WATCHING, tv AND i especially really like comedy, stuff And i've seen like every recorded improv special and thing that's out.

There, obviously you, Know Mister show was a huge influence on.

Me i'm a huge fan THAT.

I pointed to.

You but we were in a car so that was sort of a felt what it was BECAUSE i tickled your ear a little.

Bit seems like across this, carrier right of.

Course, YEAH i.

See you guys have like that screen back here that's playing ass in my.

Face no, spitting no.

Swearing five.

Stars you're a giant to.

Dog you have to be kept in the backseat at all.

Times.

Yeah, yeah and you guys have a fur guard here for, me which is probably.

Fair but how WAS i saying the?

Different, like but you liked about me On Mister.

Show so, talented it's so.

Funny oh but SO i, think, like especially going into something like this and knowing that it was going to be, IMPROVISED i think a lot about like why you're putting a format in a certain, medium AND i think a lot of times WITH i am a big fan of, theater musical.

Theater this is coming back around to make a.

POINT i.

Promise there was this thing called Like Broadway.

Direct there was like A broadway streaming, service and it makes a huge difference when you see people pro shot stuff and they just sort of put cameras in three places and then put it out.

There people that Like broadway are gonna, watch but it really is like why are we watching it in this?

Format it's meant to be watched, live and especially with, improv where it's a lot about like your relationship to the, audience, right and like that's a part of the magic is like you know that it's created on the spot because you're you got, it you gave a suggestion or you.

Told a story or, whatever and then you're watching it happen in real.

TIME i think especially with like my, show which is like an IMPROVISED, vfx like characters.

Get INTO thefcs makeup and THEN i interviewed.

Them part of what was interesting and cool about that for that format was going, like, oh we had the.

Ability to edit it really, heavily SO i like take huge.

Swings and then our director Tomorow, vine who's like absolutely.

Incredible she is not an improv person or a comedy, person but she is like a brilliant experimental film, director and so because of, that she sort of has this idea of like she can take out all of the comedy from it and go, Like, okay what is going to make most sense for?

Story what's gonna make the most sense in?

It?

Edit what's like the cool things that we can do afterwards to make this all like fit?

Together like how DO i take something from the end and reorder it to make it like look cohesive and things like.

That so that to me was an interesting way to showcase and improv.

Show, yeah that like, Sense, yeah like documentary, editing like finding the story from the footage you?

Have yeah To, OH i never thought about it that.

WAY i really like.

That, yeah, YEAH i think that that definitely feels true to.

Me, yeah that first.

ONE i, KNOW i keep bringing, it BUT i excitement of Being so the guests is put in makeup or a.

Costume they don't they have a minute to like riff on what they might, do, Right but the guest is improvising who they are as you're getting to figure out who they are in an interview and you have to pretend you're doing an interview with someone who you already know about.

It there's it seems so complicated WHEN i watched it that it made me.

Nervous but then.

That's a goal is we just really wanted to make people feel really nervous watching it, did especially in a time like now where people need more nervous kind of.

Experience, people it's too, Cozy that's what we kept, saying blanket.

Anxiety, yeah it's so fun to.

Watch, oh thank, you, truly that means so.

MUCH i really appreciate you taking the time to watch.

It, yeah it's something that like.

Too we made.

It it was based off speaking Of Josh.

Ruben He impact castles were the ones that it was originally college humor, series and they were these like five to seven minute.

Videos and THEN i got an email from THE Ceo.

Samurai she was, like, hey we want to reboot.

This we don't totally know what it's going to look, like so that are it's sort of like a sam keeps calling it a spiritual sequel to the, original which feels very.

True it's a sort of like and now it's a it's a lot.

Longer we sort of created our own.

Lord to what's.

Happening but it's, like it's very it's it's the most artistically satisfying.

Thing i've gotten to.

DO i feel so grateful BECAUSE i THINK i didn't think that there was ever an option to make any money doing improv and to have it be like a big part of.

What i'm doing has just been such a.

GIFT i feel so.

Grateful, yeah And i've become a fan of everyone that THAT i saw on that that is also on the game show format where what is that show?

Called, oh Game?

Changers are you like a game show fan in?

General do you like?

GAMES i.

Am i've been addicted to the One Pat oswald that's.

Doing that's like it's called one percent and it has nothing to do with high tax bracket.

Conservatives it's like the last question they have only one percent of the people pulled who and who knows where they?

Are how large of the group it?

Is got it?

Right so it is a very hard, question but it starts with the easy, ones and they're all LIKE iq test type.

Question can you give.

Us an example of a, question see if we can get?

It?

Oh?

Right that would be UNLESS i have been, memorized But i'm going to Pretend i'm on one of your.

Shows they're one of the, questions Was.

Angel falls?

Right that's the tallest waterfall in the.

World is that?

True it's On jeopardy all the?

Time is angel?

Falls is that THE favoriteam?

Show, Yes jeopardy for.

Sure jeopardy makes me feel dumb and maybe it's a.

Mir one doesn't make you feel about, Well.

No because the type the questions are.

Visual that's why it's hard for me to think of an, example because like one of the first ones will be here's here's a, maze which route and you only have enough time to find, out you, know they only show it to.

You it's, timed so you have to figure out a maze very.

Quickly which those kind of things or word, jumbles how many different words can fit into this jumble of?

Words things like That i'm good.

At but if you ask me a trivia question and it is about someone in my own, FAMILY i will freeze just because of PAST i don't.

Know test, Anxiety oh, sure we're.

All of a.

Sudden it's like there is a definitive, writer wrong, answer and the person that it's going to mean something too is looking you dead in the.

Eye ye, Yes and that can be just knowing a friend's name at a.

Party, YEA i AM i will.

That's the anxiety.

Life, yes, YEAH.

I did find a web site with some one percent.

Questions, yes let's do some come on just a few.

Weeks this is an immigration patent paid, us all, right so this is skipping all the way to the one?

Percent oh?

Shit what is the first number In english, that when spelled, out has its letters in alphabetical?

Order what the?

First could you repeat the?

QUESTION i know they don't do, it but it's usually shown on a.

Chiron so what is the first?

Number so like the spelling of that number In english, that when spelled, out has its letters in alphabetical?

Four, no because you comes AFTER.

R are you?

Sure?

No is that?

Right you're you're?

Close you're actually five in a, way you're?

Close is?

It?

No five is definitely down.

There six you're on the.

Right six you were closer with, four but not.

Numerically let me just say that twenty.

Four, wow warmery four double?

Ditches well digits eighty?

Nine is this?

One is this a crazy one where it's like the eight is a?

Doctor you know WHAT i?

Mean it did seventy eight nine in this?

One, oh that's actually a really great.

QUESTION i all of the, QUESTIONS i will, say as we continue to think about the, ANSWER i do require you to be able to look at the sample like it it's so hard to, imagine so.

Like they write out a thousand numbers and then you get to What.

I'm, oh You're i'm brushing the visualizing.

It did you do spelling bees ever anything like?

That, no because isn't that a thing with spelling bees that they do where they like rate them with their feet or they like or they like do something with their hands and then they like wipe it away because once.

You start, talking you can't go.

Back AND i know that because cutty Spelling, bee which you were in that good.

SHOW i was, Not but they did it the year THAT i, graduate like the YEAR i, graduated AND i did consider coming, back.

AND i was politely told that it was for people that were still.

Are, yeah like a spelling, BEE i WOULD i have always had trouble visualizing saying it out, loud but if you could have a pen and paper during a spelling, BEE i would do very.

Well that that's kind of explaining my issue in a.

NUTSHELL i really like that visual Learner.

Yes, yes and that one percent.

Show my point is it's very visual learner based.

Knowledge what is can we just have the?

Answer it's forty fucking forty.

You, yeah that would take.

Forever why why like?

Ending and?

Why if you were looking at the word, though you would just GO, ABC.

Abc you would do that with each right.

Word well until you get to, forty.

Right OR i, yes that's a GOOD.

Tv you're RIGHT.

Tv, YEAH i was imagining a multiple choice verse forty was presented to.

You, so, yeah that wouldn't work.

EITHER i SWEAR i was good at.

IT i, TRY i trust.

You can we do another?

Question just because that was so fucking hard and hilarious THAT i just want one?

More can we do on?

That Maybe i'm gonna be better At?

Yeah CAN i look better in this?

One let's do a thirty?

Three, yeah let's so it goes down from like one hundred to, like, yes, okay.

Questions are very.

Visual that's one.

Hundred that Was that was like.

The easiest one to describe without showing it to.

Anybody so let's, see let's Do, okay this is a ten percent.

Question the first letter of the alphabet that doesn't rhyme with another letter of the alphabet IS.

F but what is the next?

One?

G?

H, YEAH i would SAY.

L you know what's crazy is you each said one of The i'm such an.

Asshole it's multiple.

Ch, okay so, sorry, no you named one of.

Them but mine is wrong BECAUSE i immediately came up.

With the rhyme it was it wasn't you're so good at, this your.

GENIUS i, THINK i, mean thank, you BUT i think it's just guessing mostly.

Right, well the good news is there for this one in, particular there are only twenty five.

Possibilities, true, Right, Yeah, NO i have to think about that, Too, like hold, ON i don't know If I'VE i have to have the.

Alphabet in front of, me SO i actually count to.

Know are we going with The english, Alphabet.

Let's do The?

Arabic, yeah, LETTERS i would prefer it to The arabic, letters if that's.

Okay there's A i WAS i was about to, say there's a famous story in my.

Family all.

LIES i don't know Why i'm setting it up this.

Way one TIME i was at home by myself And jeopardy was on at like four, o'clock AND i watched, it and then at seven o'clock when everybody else got home in my.

Family because because my family has Watched jeopardy every night at seven for like thirty fucking.

Years OH i love.

That and so at, seven when everyone was, there it was on AND i just started answering all the.

QUESTIONS i was probably in seventh grade or.

Something that's.

Great my mother.

Was she was over the.

Moon she was so.

Thrilled she was, caring you have to try it.

Whatever and FINALLY i had to tell on myself because she was getting too no she was like too happy about it Or i'm LIKE i already watched did you Know?

Relationship well she was, like, Oh i'm back to being disappointed and with.

You there was a little window it was she was it was, hilarious AND i was just, like, well this is truly stolen.

VALOR i CAN'T i can't really let this continue any.

Further is there even like a small part of you that was LIKE i could Watch Jeopardy early for the rest of my life and then come back and then just be a genius.

And then finally get the goddamn credit in this family THAT i, deserve just the respect you really.

Deserve, yeah it really does get you the respect of your.

Elders jeopardy nothing like.

It, Yeah, yeah there's nothing else you can do to make your grandma love.

You, also there is a part of Watching jeopardy because, it's you, know going to visit my dad, Now like it's really like whatever happens in the, day we're meeting back, here and this is what we're going to be.

Doing AND i do guess almost like, instinctually where it is pretty amazing when you're, like oh my, GOD i was actually right about, That like where did that come?

From there's like some reservoir in my brain that's Like i'm ready for you to Watch jeopardy and get something.

RIGHT, Whoa, yeah that is always kind of crazy to think.

About it's like how much do you know that you just can't?

Remember that's like rattling around in there.

Somewhere, yeah BECAUSE i feel like there is stuff like that where like moments where like that are high stress, moments all of a, sudden something THAT i was trying to remember really, hard like weeks before will shake.

LOOSE i feel like that happens to me a.

Lot mm.

Hmm is that a?

Sickness is that it being ill because you said you're in, Theater SO i bet you that has to do with like you can't blank on your.

Lines you have to know all of.

Them you have to know other people's, lines like there's there's that right where you're just like you get into a new, show here's your new.

Job get it for the old jobs and the old stuff.

Come back to the new.

Stuff, yeah that rings true to.

ME i like, that, THOUGH i will SAY i don't Think i've ever done a production of anything WHERE i haven't forgotten at least a chunk of.

Something what's your favorite play you've ever been in or, Sean that's a great.

Question i'm doing a show right now AT ucb that's just been like the most fun thing in the entire world Called Mama.

Mia bit different and it is literally all it is Is.

Uh the philosophy is That Mamma mia is like THE mcu where it has it can be, anything and you can collect any like Eight abba songs and they can be their own show that's completely unrelated To Mama mia.

Proper so just every month we have new writers write These Mama mia shows and they've all been really different and really.

Crazy it's so.

Fun, yeah we did one that was like a bluegrassy one Called Avalacha Mama, mia But Everyone's babies is the one we're doing this, month and we Did Mama mia The piper the first month you know That aba song The, Piper, no neither DID, i.

And now when we did a whole musical around.

It but IF i heard, IT i know.

It well you might not.

Have it's a it's a deeper.

Cut oh, okay, OKAY i do only know The aba.

Hits, YEAH i would sing, It BUT i as much AS i enjoy, SINGING i was always somebody that was a really loud, singer AND i think for it gets you pretty far until you hit like regional, theater and then all of a, sudden people are, Like, okay now tone's gonna matter a little.

Bit THIS anni production is over and you are now in the real.

World, yes, yeah well that really.

Is it is like because as soon as you hit, regional it's like if you're a, dancer that will get you through to the next round of, things because they're always desperate for.

Dancers but then, again singing like you need a little little under.

There a little bit of, training a little bit of brad, SUPPORT i do it makes me simultaneously incredibly sad and then also absolutely like just in love the way people are such good, singers like the people On TikTok that get famous because they are in their room and they just record and they're, amazing and then suddenly everyone knows that they.

Are LIKE i love.

THAT i love how good people, are BUT i used to get to live in this totally ignorant bliss THAT i was really good and then you're like even like and, Truly i'm not saying it to like, nothing Truly i'm.

Not but it's like people so many people have auditioned For American.

Idol, yeah they're All American idol level except for the jokey people like, good and they just aren't as good as Like Kelly clarkson or.

Whatever it's like the ceiling is so high for.

That it's kind of, great but it also it's.

Sad, yeah it's so.

TOUGH i think singing is that thing for me Where i'm, like IF i could wake up tomorrow and be so good at something that you have to be really skilled to do and takes a lot of time to learn how to, DO i think i'd pick.

Singing do you guys have something.

Like that where it's like, tomorrow like you would have all of the like baked in skill, Sets LIKE i think it would be singing or maybe.

Cooking, yeah it's.

Funny even as a, child my, fantasy And i'm SURE i mentioned, this BUT i always, thought as a, kid WHEN i come back FOR i guess a high school reunion or maybe just during school a pep, assembly my fantasy would be doing this amazing concert piano, recital, yeah for all the other kids when they didn't KNOW i could even play, piano, yeah and just blow it out of the.

WATER i or sometimes it was sex.

Phone it was a different, time but that was WHAT i wanted to be good at.

PIANO i WOULD.

I have dreams WHERE i can play the piano and it is so exciting in the dream Where i'm like it's, NUTS i just sit down and start doing, it Or i'm like this is, amazing and THEN i wake.

Up i'm, like oh damn.

It.

Yeah isn't that type of thing where it's like that idea of, like you know how when somebody's like choking and they're like is there a?

Doctor is?

It like somebody takes a break from the piano at the piano bar and there's like does anybody play?

Piano he's fainted?

Again, yeah IT'S I that is a deep old fantasy of.

Mine BUT i was raised in a house where a piano was in the other room THAT i never.

Touched, YEAH i THINK i hit it and chipped some keys with a hammer as a.

Toddler that's the MOST i played it with.

A hammer as a.

Toddler, okay that was another.

Example that was some kids that were friends of my.

Mom's BUT i wanted to just bypass the bibliography of the.

Story but that Was matthew And David beebe.

Give you a, hammer and we're, like go, nuts.

KID i don't know Why i've tried tried to take credit for bad.

Kid these monsters came over and grabbed a.

Hammer but we're talking about them right, Now so who won you know WHAT i, mean like you name drop them on your podcast.

TODAY i could probably put a little bleep in.

There it turns out, though that that was a Young Joe, rogan so his podcast is.

Big his podcast is pretty.

Huge it's just.

No you were.

No, oh he has a, tuxedo he's got somewhere to be a piano.

Player just.

Fainted, yeah it's it's hilarious that THAT i started.

TALKING i can't remember WHAT i.

Say, well that happens to me literally all the.

Time that's what traffical.

Do that's a traffical.

Duty, yeah though, honestly LIKE i kind of like sitting in.

Traffic it's very like forced soothing as a, passenger, right.

As a, passenger say as a driver.

TOO i used to live In Culver, city a little bit of la geography everybody always loves hearing.

About, Yeah and SO i used to like have to take three highways to get out, here and USUALLY i was coming like during rush hour in the, morning and you, know you'd sit there for.

Like an hour and a half or.

Whatever And i've never listened to so many books in my.

Life LIKE i was going through like a bunch of like language, podcasts LIKE i was learning how to Speak.

Spanish i'm, LIKE i feel LIKE i was being very enriched as a.

Person oh that's, again you were using your.

Time, YEAH i just don't listen to.

MUSIC i think that.

HELPS i think if you like, music that's it's hard to switch off from, music, Right, YEAH i THINK i would save WHEN i lived In, marvista which is Basically Culver.

CITY i lived In marvist to, two but that felt too, niche SO i said, STONER.

I was off Of, okay this is very.

Embarrassing the street Called, sawtel BUT i had never heard it said out loud until after we.

Moved i'd lived there for like a year and a, half AND i thought it was, satellite AND i kept telling PEOPLE i lived on, satellite and people.

Were, like what are you talking?

About and nobody ever.

Said anything to me UNTIL i turned on my serie voice one day and it was like turning on To sawtel AND i.

Was, like what is going?

On there's like ha ha ha, ha and they're, like, no that is how it is.

Pronounced, yeah the double tea that you just maybe put in, There.

Thank you For thank you for trying to help me.

THERE i really appreciate.

That i'm just SAYING i put double t's.

Everywhere i've done it in a million.

Times, NO i WOULD i would prepare for work in the.

CAR i would like not prepare, things BUT i knew that the drive would be an hour, Long so in lieu of, MUSIC i would write that was THAT i was supposed to, do just by like you, said recording it and listening to.

It, oh that's.

Really Head and now with the technology of the like speak to text or, WHATEVER i, mean that's that's billble hours at the.

Exactly, yeah you punched in at.

Nine, yeah BUT i started driving at.

Eight how hard is it not to constantly docks yourselves on this podcast BECAUSE.

I feel Like i'm hearing about this AND i was, like, oh, well what area do you?

Live And i'm not gonna ask that.

Writing, YEAH i it's hopefully we back in the early days WHEN i was recording in my lap and we were driving to the.

Airport chris is the sound, guy but he had never used any of the.

Equipment no very.

Fraud, yeah it all sounded like the first season was just basically.

Underwater there was just a lot of.

The underwater, season the famous underwater.

Season a lot of gurgling and, bubbling but never edited.

Anything who knows was back?

There, YEAH i tweet at, us let us know what's.

Bad, yeah tell me about my.

Mistake cancel me for Things i've, said.

Because that's so.

CRAZY i feel like that's something THAT i never thought.

About and then all of a sudden in the last year here it's LIKE i took a photo and somebody's, like, oh this is the street That vick was, on and this was the, intersection AND i Think vic shops, here AND i was, like that is so.

Scary AND i don't think it's people meaning to be, scary but it feels very, scary you.

Know IT'S i think it's people forgetting that you're actually real and you and like have a.

Life AND i think people are, like, oh, no you're the subject of my, interest therefore we're just going to discuss you like a.

Topic oh that's really.

Interesting, yeah that makes sense where it's like there's not any usually BECAUSE i think people who love especially people who love, comedy it truly is like a it's a.

Love it's different than like if you were a famous you, know starlet or, something where it's like there's a real connection and there's a reason that they like your.

Specifically and, yeah AND i would imagine with you, guys especially with, podcasting that must be like a really tricky line where like you talk so much like just by, nature like you, know you're you're chatting about things and like things that are happening in your lives that people must feel especially like extra connected to what's.

Happening, yeah are you on the day to?

Day, yeah it's.

True even in listening to podcasts, myself it is so much it's the closest thing to being in a conversation with someone that you know, them, well they don't know, you but you know, them and so it seems like a normal thing to message them and.

Say, HEY i took this picture of the top of your.

House do you want to use?

It it looks.

So beautiful from the passenger seat.

Here, yeah so it doesn't seem like it's out of, bounds but it.

Isn't don't hover over houses all you drone operating podcast.

Fans, oh somebody sent me a.

PICTURE i think it Was bridger because, uh he looked up my address or something and he, goes did you know this horrifying picture of the front of your?

House he was On Google maps and it was a picture of my front.

Door and THEN i think they the like car drove by on my birthday because there was a very beautiful bouquet of flowers laying on my.

Doorstep but it looked like someone took that and posted.

It so it was like it looked and there were like kind of lilies and like it was fancy enough as a bouquet that it looked, scary like it was just kind of like who left that is?

That from So bridger was all freaked.

Out i'm, like that was my.

BIRTHDAY i think those those were from All but why Was bridger google image searching your?

Home and this is WHY i brought it up BECAUSE i don't want to question.

HIM i want him to be, questioned right, Right we want.

Answers YEAH i, Didn't So bridger tweet at, us let us know.

For sure what you were up.

To he wanted to know if his flowers.

Arrived oh yeah, yeah and he said The google car to check on.

Them that'd be.

Incredible if like you forgot to say thank you to someone who's saying then it's, like did you know this weird picture is?

Somewhere it's like it's in my.

PHONE i took.

It i'm mad at.

You, well this is like telling on myself a little.

Bit but do you ever have that where like somebody messages you and then you like saw it but forgot to respond to, it and so then enough time goes by that then they message you back about it and you're, like, oh sorry that last message LIKE.

I just didn't see or like didn't come through or.

Whatever just a little white.

Lie oh, yes oh.

YEAH i do it all the, time all the.

TIME i do that too, much ESPECIALLY i travel back and forth From, canada and SO i have some plausible deniability to.

Be, like OH i just didn't come THROUGH i was out of the.

Country BUT i do THINK i feel like everyone tells that lie and participates in that, lie so nobody can truly like confront you without being a.

Hypocrite oh that's.

INTERESTING i feel that way about talking behind people's backs, too Where i'm just, LIKE i literally don't want to know anything about anything that anyone is saying about.

Me, YEAH i unless it's something THAT i have to.

Address if people are just blowing off.

Steam everybody has to do it every once in a, While like if you need to talk some shit about me that it's one thousand percent.

Fine, YES i just do not want to be party to it in any, way shape or.

FORM i don't want to.

KNOW i don't want to hear about.

IT i don't want another friend telling me about.

It i'm just, LIKE i want no part in.

It how about reading comments on videos?

Online do you do you ever dive into that.

Same thought people's thoughts on me or none of my?

Business, Yea LIKE i do, think especially doing having any kind of art.

Online it's, like if people are coming to my page with something That i've reposted to say, something you're gonna get blocked.

Immediately i'm, Fine like that's, like.

You, know there's but like if people are going to drop out page or like online forums or, whatever that people should be able to discuss art.

ONLINE i think you know WHAT i.

Mean and, like, again unless it's something that LIKE i have to address in one in any, way some, way shape or.

FORM i think that people should and shouldn't be having conversations about.

Art AND i feel very privileged to be in a position, that like people enough people are watching this stuff That i'm doing that like there are conversations around.

IT i think it's really.

Cool it, Is it's very, cool and you're so.

Right it's like that IDEA i think some people want some that's an attempt at, engagement is like WELL i didn't like, this or you, know they're coming with some sort of, criticism And i'm always like, god, bless like, yeah everybody gets to have their own thing about what's, happening for.

Sure it's, yeah you're not looking for.

CONSENSUS i am so it's so, unhealthy BUT i care so much about the opinions and strangers and if there is a how.

Do you engage with?

Them?

Though are you like chatting with people back and, forth people like saying?

Stuff when are you sort of, like, oh?

Noted or are you just lurking it?

Is I'm i'm thinking more of like When i'm doing stand.

Up if there's a sleeveless shirt dad up front that has his arms crossed and isn't enjoying, me that's WHO i focus, on and that's always been the.

Case everyone else's, Laughing, great why is this person?

NOT i.

CAN'T i can't deal with?

It CAN i?

Be?

Honestly this short?

Dad what are you doing sitting in the front?

Row you got brought here by your daughter because it was your weekend and she wanted to, sit, like sit in the, back sit respectfully somewhere in the middle behind the, lights you know WHAT i.

Mean we were yelling at each other at home and THEN i REALIZED i won these free comedy tickets tickets from the radio this.

Morning well, ALSO i feel like those some audience members don't realize that where it's, like you know how you can see, ME i can also see yes looking at me and keeping the look on your face of how you actually feel about me is absolutely very rude and, aggressive even though you're just in the audience having your, experience but like the lights are on you.

Friend, yeah, yeah you would think.

THAT a number of times the person THAT i thought was hating me that comes up and said that was so.

Fun, yeah that is so.

Interesting your face is not in line with what you just.

Said But i'm, like to be judged just on your resting face is so.

Hard somebody WHEN i was in college SAID i had a really stern resting.

Face And i've thought about that every single day, since and So i've literally practiced in the mirror of my resting face being sort of like a pleasantly, amused you know WHAT i, mean sort of LIKE i smelled something kind of, nice.

Like that's kind of like my resting.

Face, yeah that's what people are talking about behind your.

Back yeah you want to.

Know oh that's, right you just said you didn't want to.

Know, Sorry oh, Man, yeah it's, LIKE i don't know what's so interesting.

THAT i, mean coming back to, theater seeing as we were talking about the twenty minutes, ago.

That was like the hardest part of.

IT i think about like growing up doing.

THEATER i highly recommended anybody that's like got, teenagers like get them in the theater department in some.

CAPACITY i think it's really good and really healthy for dealing with conflict resolution and, like you, know just like preparing something and performing.

IT i think has a lot of.

Things but, LIKE i have never met a group of kids that are, like will tear each other down.

Only to build each other back up again.

Faster you, know, right do you guys do theater at?

All?

YEAH i did, it and well we.

DIDN'T i went to a tiny high.

School we only got drama my senior, year and THEN i was a theater major in.

College THEN i dropped out of college BECAUSE i became a beer, major and THEN i became a.

COMEDIAN i love.

That it was a pretty nice arc your time in.

College what plays did you do or did you get to the phase where you were doing?

Plays?

Yes We the first one Was carnival is the Musical?

Carnival, yes kind of, boring but some a couple of good, songs AND i was just a lady in the.

Background then the next DID i do other?

PLAYS i can't.

REMEMBER i think it was just in those kind of bigger musicals because then the smaller ones were like the really talent, sophomores and the juniors and seniors would be in like the non, musicals, Right SO i never kind of made it to.

That then the next musical Was on The, town which was the next year's, musical super.

Fun on The.

Town it's an old, one it's an.

Oldie so then AFTER i dropped, OUT i started going to the community college In sacramento and they had this really cool kind of it was The Sacramentous City Actors.

Theater oh, cool AND i got immediately got cast As antigony no.

Way SO i went from like can't get a, part nobody will pick me for, anything, like, OH i Guess i'm maybe not that good at, it to antigony And antigony to the lead in a fucking play WHERE i was just, like, oh oh, NO i don't know IF i can do.

That Really, yeah it was, crazy AND i GO i, think really.

WELL i had a teacher that was like a history, teacher AND i always skip skipped that class or, whatever BUT i went to that class and he started the class by saying like pointing at me and being, like that's the best Play i've seen at this school in like thirty years and he was just, LIKE, a you, KNOW i don't it's like just a history.

Teacher it.

Wasn't he was, like, OH i need to make her feel.

Good it was like he needed to let me.

Know and THEN i was like, again it was that kind of thing of, like that's ALL i need to.

HEAR i don't care what anybody else.

Thinks that's the ultimate fucking compliment And i'm just gonna take it as a.

Win, yeah that really is it a and, like oh, man and also to, LIKE i think how incredible that you also have like the ability to go Like i'm gonna receive this and just go thank, you BECAUSE i feel like that's a hard thing to do sometimes.

Too AND i think Something i'm working on personally is just going like there's a compliment flying in my, Direction i'm gonna take it because life is hard and like it's a hard, industry and like why you could always question, it but also you could just.

Take, It, yeah because the taking it is respecting someone else's opinion and not kind of not putting your insecurity in the foreground to go arguing or.

Whatever it's, like, no let other people's opinions sway you when it's, good like you're, saying it's the least you can do for yourself in.

This and the other person my.

Mom growing, up people would always compliment my mom and she'd, go, well, no not.

Really she would, like just try and talk them out of.

It you look nice, Today oh this whole.

Thing oh, yeah, Yeah And i'm, Like, okay don't do.

That but of COURSE i do.

It of COURSE i do that all the.

Time it's.

Hard it's hard not.

To, okay, theater what shows were we?

In, oh that's.

FUNNY i guess the PLAYS i did in high.

SCHOOL i didn't realize that it WOULD i just thought it was.

A fun thing to do in high.

School AND i didn't know that after that at college they didn't, really it wasn't presented to.

ME i.

DON'T i.

Didn't.

YEAH i did Go, chasers a loosely based On, GHOSTBUSTERS i.

Suppose but it was so fun and again it was just like you.

Said my My spanish teacher was said that was, great AND i that was a class THAT i had been kicked out.

Of we had some.

Issues but he had to give it to you for your Ghost.

Yeah, yeah, Yeah and it felt, great but in college it just seemed, like, well there's the dance.

Department i'm in the visual arts.

Arts, yeah painting and.

Drawing that's WHY i went to school for SO i so focused on that and and currently doing you, know painting signs and DOING t shirt.

Designs LIKE i thought that was going to be my job UNTIL i was drunk at a, party got kicked, out and then in the back of the newspaper the woman who's whose house it, was, Said, hey do you want to do start an improv?

GROUP i didn't even know what that.

Meant and then she, Said i'm, sorry, yes whose line is?

It?

Anyway?

Party yes for trying.

ON i was, DRUNK i was with a bunch of.

FRIENDS i THINK i broke a.

Lamp but and then the woman whose house it was was, like you got to get, out but also do you want to come back.

Days my mother was looking in the back of the newspaper and the personals ADS a had leopard print, hair so she knew it was about, me and she, said someone wants to do improv with, you AND i was, LIKE i don't know what that?

Is no, way, Yeah and then SO i called the number and, yes that's that's HOW i got.

Started it was a weird way to get.

Started kind of.

Alone that's.

Incredible i've never met somebody that found themselves in a.

PERSONAL i, Know i've never heard that story.

Because oh, wow, OKAY i would have thought that's Something i've told a million times on.

Here yeah It, OTHERWISE i know THAT i would have just continued doing like graphic design and illustration, work AND i still do that here and.

Thereby it was being in that.

Group and then we went To austin and there was like an improv festival there AND i took a stand up, class SO i moved there to do, both and THEN i just ended up going with stand.

Up SO i didn't really act in plays so.

Much but, hilariously like the piano outside my, bedroom there's something Called Missoula Children's theater that WHEN i was doing press jun kids act Like Chris pine, SAID i did The Missoula Children's.

Theater there's all these kids, that as young actors moved To.

Missoula so it was right outside my.

Door AND i never, knew.

Like specifically to get like a jump start in the.

Industry, YES i apparently it's a highly regarded children's uh you, know school and.

Production they do.

Plays wait what are your?

Plays?

Me, okay, Yeah.

SO I i had this weird thing WHERE i did stuff with toy T Toronto Youth.

THEATER i, LIKE i didn't do any any.

Thing.

REALLY i did a little bit of children's theater WHEN i lived In, illinois AND i had just always been, like IF i have a chance to reinvent, Myself i'm just going to start telling people THAT i do, acting WHICH i did when we moved up To.

Toronto and THEN i had the worst audition for my school play.

Ever but because everybody had thought THAT i did theater at my old, school they thought it was just a bad audition AND i ended up getting a lead in the.

Show it was a bad, show but it was a great learning.

Experience since, then it's a bunch of the kids that were like the really intense theater kids were, like we're going to go audition For Toronto Youth.

Theater SO i did that, too And Toronto theater was like the type of theater that we did Hair it and we did rent and the whole thing was like we were the first like youth theater troupe that were granted the rights to the full production Of rent with like what's that song?

Called is it Called?

HEAT i can't.

Remember it's like the sex scene song, basically but it's cut from the high school version for you, know you don't want to see sixteen.

Year olds doing.

That it's.

Problematic and Then, hair which has like the big nude scene in the middle of, it which we cut and put in a stomp number.

In really based on the very popular at the Time, stop.

Based on the super popular at the.

Time stop was all the rage in twenty.

Eleven was that because there was trash cans already on.

SET i guess it was like it was so, strange but it, WAS i, mean it was life.

Changing it was so.

FUN i had the absolute time of my.

Life oh it's so.

Fun it's so.

Fun and it was like the first time THAT i LIKE i was like going to, Parties Like i'd never been to parties or anything like that before.

Then it was just, LIKE i, mean it really changed my life.

Completely it's so LIKE i just remember being BECAUSE i came from like kind of a small farm town and so doing plays and being in that kind of very regimented system and.

Whatever it was like it felt like so glamorous to me beyond Where i'm, like we're gonna work on this for, secret for months and, months and then we're, gonna you, know go in front of the whole town and everyone's gonna see all the work we did and they're not going to believe.

It it was like that idea was so satisfying to actually get to.

Do what a beautiful way to put that is that you're preparing for it in.

Secret i've never thought of it that, way but what a beautiful framing that.

Really, is just like so deeply.

Specific you don't have to cross the.

Street i'm actually walking down this, way so even if you want to drop me on this, side that is.

Perfect, Okay i'm going to turn down this so we can just have a goodbye.

Moment YET i love that we have a.

Routine we need you to learn to handshake the.
