over time it's not a sudden

2:08

improvement since 91

2:10

I'm yeah much better oh my

2:13

god we've I've

2:17

indulged in retail therapy it's

2:21

a lot since the 90s since

2:23

the year I am reminded of how angry

2:25

I was it wasn't LAX it was that

2:27

I didn't I wasn't yet buying

2:29

pants I wasn't sure about right yeah

2:31

it does help for

2:34

the overall frustration of life yes if you

2:36

can just get your hands on a new

2:38

item that's really all and it doesn't need to be high-end

2:41

it doesn't need to be expensive just

2:44

needs feet yeah it's

2:46

true and that's what I've

2:48

been doing for myself self-care making

2:50

this podcast better than it used

2:52

to be gradually over time it's

2:55

not gonna be an all-at-one thing no quit

2:57

demanding that from us listener we don't

2:59

want the improvement to be jarring no

3:02

god no like is this even the

3:04

same show please think about your lower

3:06

lumbar region exactly

3:09

for the jarring that reminds

3:11

me years ago someone

3:13

said they were a pelvic floor

3:15

specialist one of the listeners out

3:17

there they were flirting with you

3:20

no it was it was it

3:22

was purely clinical okay and and

3:24

I do want my pelvic floor

3:26

to be massaged adjusted

3:28

sorry real quick this is private I

3:30

don't think you should be knowing about

3:32

this you you brought up the

3:35

torso or I can't remember

3:38

but I'm yeah I need

3:40

it apparently that's another way

3:43

to improve yourself someone else's

3:45

elbow grinding into

3:48

your groin again this was not

3:51

sexual it was a

3:53

clinical you say so you claim if

3:55

you're out there pelvic floor specialist that

3:57

lives in Los Angeles I'm still interested

4:00

years later I think this was

4:02

pre-hip surgery but

4:04

I need some knots I need

4:06

some things done and how have you

4:08

figured out it's your pelvic floor that needs the

4:11

help well uh I

4:14

haven't but it's worth

4:17

a shot got you you're

4:19

just kind of grabbing at

4:21

whatever might be the reason you

4:23

got me got you right I

4:25

think that that's what I need so hit

4:27

me up wherever it

4:29

was because that's the one thing you get these

4:32

these nice messages you can't search

4:34

keywords I typed pelvic floor

4:37

into all of my social medias

4:39

and nothing's come up but the

4:41

government has been watching it has

4:43

changed my algorithm I've

4:47

noticed all the videos that I do

4:49

watch of massages and adjustments which

4:52

is nice that some people are into pimple popping

4:54

I am NOT very much not no very same

4:56

but I am into people

4:59

have being adjusted and I noticed a

5:02

lot of the cracking noises they're being

5:04

added in post I'm sure because I've

5:06

done some of the moves you put your leg

5:08

against the wall you turn your arms over to

5:10

the door frame all and I don't hear the

5:13

yeah yeah I'm afraid that

5:15

that's fake yeah very

5:17

much false advertising I feel

5:19

like this person is

5:22

classic Nevada driving they were

5:24

just there

5:27

wasn't even a driveway there no that was

5:29

a person listener who was basically trying to

5:32

make a left-hand turn in the middle of

5:34

Laurel Canyon with traffic everywhere

5:36

just because they changed their mind they

5:38

don't want to they don't want to go that

5:40

down the street anymore so they just took a

5:42

left you addressed our you addressed our audience as

5:45

listener you said that was a person comma

5:47

listener and I thought you were accusing that

5:50

person of being a person listener that was

5:52

actually one of them listener one of our

5:54

great listeners taking a left that we now

5:56

have to ostracize from the group do

5:59

not take our traffic advice. Just

6:01

because we record while in it doesn't

6:03

mean we know it. No. And also,

6:05

who cares about LA traffic? I always

6:07

feel so terrible to the person in Canton,

6:10

Ohio that's listening right now and it's just

6:12

like, we'd love for you to bitch more

6:14

about LA traffic. That'd be

6:16

great. I'm telling you, because

6:19

of the nature and

6:21

the theme of our podcast, people have

6:24

said they like when

6:27

we're talking about roads. Really? And

6:29

cars and stuff. Whoa. People

6:33

are interested in that. Yeah, you

6:35

almost pulled a person

6:37

listener into it. Into

6:39

a head-on collision. We

6:42

are going on the

6:44

historic, what

6:46

do you call this? I'm bad with history.

6:48

A Laurel Canyon. Laurel Canyon. Laurel, the

6:51

popular comedy duo, Laurel

6:54

and Hardy. Laurel Canyon is

6:58

really the only way to get through a mountain

7:01

range. Yep. And Crosby,

7:03

Stills and Nash and Young and Joni

7:05

Mitchell and they all used to live

7:07

there in the 70s. I think the

7:10

Eagles, some of the Eagles, they

7:12

all lived there and wrote songs together and

7:15

so that's kind of a fun thing. Really?

7:18

Yeah. I think I can point out the house that

7:21

many of them stayed in because it was in

7:23

a documentary. It's kind

7:25

of by the store. Oh yes. I

7:28

do now vaguely know and it's not the house

7:30

that all the comedians used to live in. No,

7:33

that's, you mean Dave Rassle house? Is

7:35

that, are you kidding me? He lived in

7:37

a house off of Laurel

7:40

Canyon with Todd Glass, him, Alan

7:43

Murray, and maybe somebody

7:45

else that can't remember. Wow. Yeah. That

7:47

would be a funny house. Dave Rassle is the

7:50

funniest manager.

7:52

He's so funny. You

7:54

know, he was my manager for a little while when I moved

7:56

here. I Mean, he was

7:59

kind of a great story. Or man of

8:01

her. How. He is like taken all

8:03

of his starters that you know. That.

8:05

Stuff and then built it into his

8:07

own beautiful management company. Catholic or

8:10

would my career. Than.

8:13

Still kind of in a starter stage, but

8:15

you know me, I'm a big fan of

8:18

slowly improving. Your. Like you said,

8:20

you'd. Up once you got your pelvic

8:22

floor together. Class seducing whole thing as

8:24

gonna take off on a one. My

8:26

success to. Fuck. Up other

8:28

people's backs, You

8:31

do understand the pelvic floor. It. Isn't

8:33

necessarily back relate? Know,

8:36

but it is. There's all sorts of

8:38

times a thing even. I even know

8:40

you know the health of the organs

8:42

that reside within the stairs. There's a

8:45

lot to be. okay. Very. Excited

8:47

for this this stress

8:49

or stavridis out. That

8:52

way. I

8:54

just. I don't know about. Getting

8:56

doctors over the internet or through public

8:59

I'm just. I'm putting that was how

9:01

else I mean I threw my insurance.

9:03

I go to a list of doctors

9:05

and I read the Yelp reviews as

9:07

I better get a it's way better

9:09

I suppose at. Least

9:12

they're in your area or in your

9:14

town. Right orders? Yeah,

9:17

On the last at that touchy

9:19

touchy soft copies after somebody daycare

9:21

your pelvic floor right? They.

9:24

Seem to have it all at

9:26

a super sweet coffee and tabs

9:28

a sous. Yeah,

9:31

someone someone local players. I can

9:33

fly anywhere for my pelvis know?

9:36

So. Much. Time. I'm

9:38

very I'm very excited! About

9:41

this year I think we're really both

9:44

gonna turn things around. Yeah, twenty twenty

9:46

four? Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah. Me too.

9:48

Every say. Every year I say it's

9:51

gonna be the year there's says here

9:53

I actually on Netflix. Feel it. I

9:55

mean there's a lotta years that Trump

9:57

Ruins I think really stood in. way

10:00

of everybody's growth. Sure.

10:02

And personal security. Yes.

10:06

So just keep out of mind. Right. Now

10:08

it's up to us. There's no one else to blame.

10:10

No. No. Is that the

10:13

house that Crosby stills Nash and sometimes

10:15

Young resided in? I don't know

10:19

anymore. I had so much confidence

10:21

when we were on the other side of the hills.

10:23

You were thinking of Mulholland Drive, weren't you? The

10:26

movie? Yes. I think I was

10:28

thinking of it's down here and it's

10:30

past. We didn't pass the story

10:32

yet, did we? Oh,

10:35

that little, that little cove with a restaurant

10:37

that I like so much. Yes. Pajé. Until

10:39

I'm there. There's a lot of things that

10:41

look cozy when you drive by and then

10:43

once you're there, it's like, well, I'm just

10:46

in a building. Right. Doesn't matter that it's

10:48

surrounded by trees. There's not enough windows to

10:50

appreciate that. Pajé's different. Is

10:53

it? Oh, I thought that's what you were saying.

10:55

I was trying to underline your

10:58

point. Right. Exactly. You're giving it

11:00

back to me. No,

11:03

I just, I understand how you

11:05

were trying to reinforce. Gotcha. Yes.

11:08

And now I thank you. You're welcome. There's

11:11

layers and there's levels to this podcast that

11:13

I feel like other podcasters only

11:15

try to reach. Right. That

11:17

we achieve.

11:20

Yeah. Are you

11:22

tired of them just scratching

11:24

the surface? Yeah. Less not.

11:28

Less not. Less not. Okay.

11:31

I think it's back there. You're right. Here it

11:33

is. You know what I mean? No, it is.

11:35

It's very cozy looking. I still like it. I

11:37

want to go to that country store. Yeah. Country

11:40

store, but the Pajé place is like, I

11:43

think that, because it's been there for a long time. I think

11:45

they've done nice things. But I think

11:47

the house I'm talking about that was

11:49

in that documentary is like on that street

11:52

behind it. It is a cool

11:54

street. Although it's good that I

12:01

like that I live somewhere that passerby's

12:03

don't admire it from a

12:05

walkable distance. You

12:07

mean so that things don't get all clogged up?

12:10

Or intruders. Visitors.

12:16

Unwelcome to visitors? Yeah, where I live now,

12:18

no one can find it. It's

12:21

on a tip top of a mountain and no one will know.

12:25

And I have a this house protected

12:27

by Smith & Wesson with Calvin and

12:29

Hobbs peeing on its sticker. Oh nice!

12:32

Peeing on your own home? Yeah, yeah. Well,

12:35

yeah, it's a little I don't know why they're peeing

12:37

on the logo that's supposed to be protecting me. But

12:40

people get the confused message. Also

12:43

Hobbs doesn't pee, it's just Calvin,

12:45

right? Yeah, Hobbs. Did you

12:47

know Hobbs doesn't exist? He's just a... Yeah.

12:50

Did you know Calvin isn't a coma? Calvin

12:54

isn't a what? He's in a coma. I

12:58

just made that up. The whole comic strips

13:00

life. Calvin is a man,

13:02

a grown man, late in his years

13:04

that's in a coma dreaming about a

13:06

tiger friend. Yeah, he's just

13:09

like, this wasn't even my childhood, but

13:12

it would have been nice if it was. And

13:15

then he's just like having a nice coma dream. I

13:18

like to think that that's what it really was. I

13:22

could have gotten that from some online theory

13:24

or something, but I'm not sure. I

13:26

thought you just got it off the top of your head

13:28

right now, seriously? No, everything from my

13:31

head is also from the internet these

13:33

days. Yep, yep. Sorry about

13:35

that, whoever made it up for it. Yeah,

13:37

I'll apologize ahead of time. I don't even

13:39

know that there's such thing as a pelvic

13:41

floor specialist. That

13:44

whole thing could be made up. Yeah, it's just

13:47

a series of words that I like the

13:49

sound of coming out of my mouth. But

13:51

that's not therapeutic at all.

13:54

I actually got into, I

13:56

liken the pelvic floor concerns.

14:00

with the foam roller journey I

14:02

tried to take because

14:04

suddenly I had been convinced that I had

14:06

to get foam roller so my fascia would

14:08

be broken up and taken care of. In

14:13

the ads, did they put fake back cracks? No,

14:17

it was more of like, that

14:19

we finally figured out how you can solve

14:21

your problems and I will fall for that

14:23

one every time. Right. It's a

14:25

new way, it's like your fascia, it's

14:27

not your muscles, blah, blah, blah. And

14:30

so I bought the whole

14:32

foam roller set and the good news

14:34

is that one of the

14:37

things was this weird small rubber

14:40

ball. Right. And

14:42

Watson uses it nonstop, she's

14:44

bitten a large hole into the

14:47

ball and it's still ball shaped.

14:49

It's a very hard ball. Yeah.

14:51

Yeah, I lay on one, I still do

14:53

it, where you put it on the ground,

14:55

and I just leave it in that fascia

14:59

plasher. I don't know

15:01

what it's called. That little area in the

15:03

front of your hip, there's like a tendon

15:05

that goes through there and you gotta roll the

15:07

ball under it. I really wanna

15:10

say something gross and dirty, but I'm not gonna

15:12

do it. I love it when you do that,

15:15

you don't usually. Say it dirty, say something

15:17

dirty. Are you referring to

15:19

the cum cutter? Yeah.

15:22

See, it doesn't feel right when I

15:25

do it. I stand against it.

15:28

It's easy, it's dumb.

15:30

No, I love it. It's gross also.

15:32

The worst name of anything I think

15:34

is that term. Say it again,

15:36

cause you were- No! Well, you were

15:39

laughing, I don't think a lot of people

15:41

got it. I don't have the guts to

15:43

work blue as a comedian. I think you

15:45

said cum gutters. I did.

15:47

Okay, okay. But God,

15:50

what if my dad suddenly starts listening to

15:52

my podcast? After all these years, I

15:54

think you're safe. Oh.

15:59

But yeah. It's maybe

16:01

this whole time I've just been rolling across

16:03

my own ball. See

16:05

how easily it comes from me? I

16:08

knew you would jump on this

16:10

and then suddenly it's balls this and come

16:12

gutters that. Stop inspiring me to

16:14

be who I am. Hey,

16:17

I have to say, I haven't been on this

16:19

part of Sunset in a really long time. We're

16:22

now on the famous Sunset Strip

16:24

right before the Comedy Store and suddenly

16:27

there's a large building and these LED

16:29

billboards. This looks

16:31

like mini Times Square here all of a

16:33

sudden. Yeah, it's cool and I don't

16:35

even notice them when I go. We're

16:37

right across from the Comedy Store where

16:40

I sometimes go and I never

16:42

really look up. That's how I'm

16:44

just... I don't fall victim to

16:46

advertising. But as

16:49

a passenger, I'm also always driving. But

16:52

we all are here. Focused on something else. Yeah,

16:54

and now I can really look around and look

16:56

through your glass ceiling. Yeah,

17:00

enjoy. And see that Illumination has

17:02

come out with a new migration

17:04

movie. I'm

17:08

sorry, can you look at that, Kobe Bryant? Oh,

17:11

no. That's not

17:13

a... No, it doesn't.

17:15

It looks like Nick Cannon. I'm

17:20

sorry, whoever painted that again. If you're

17:22

just sitting there listening with Karen's dad,

17:25

sorry. This is going to be a

17:27

very, very upsetting episode for that group.

17:29

But you know what I think

17:31

sometimes happens a lot is these

17:33

mural painters, they'll project the line

17:36

art or the preliminary photo

17:38

or whatever for perspective onto the

17:40

wall. And sometimes if they aren't

17:42

aiming right at the wall, if

17:44

it's a little down low, it'll

17:47

add that squishy factor. Yeah, I think

17:49

that's what happened to that guy. He's

17:52

a bad projection causing squishy face. Causing

17:56

Kobe Bryant to be painted to look like

17:58

a Damon Williams character. from a 90s movie. Yes.

18:01

Yeah. It very, very much

18:04

looked like someone just painted

18:06

a skin disguise. Oh,

18:10

look at that beauty. Is that

18:12

just a sign? Yeah. It's a

18:15

beautiful sculpture. It's huge. What's

18:17

happening? It's like we're visiting this

18:20

town and we're Quakers. I know. This

18:23

is, this, we're so close to where

18:25

I live and I am looking around

18:27

like I just got to town. That

18:31

is a building I've been in

18:33

multiple times. It's where College Humor

18:35

was located and I've

18:37

never noticed a grid of garden crawling up the

18:39

side. I bet that's new though, don't you think?

18:41

No, I hope it is. I think I would

18:43

have noticed that. It's beautiful. How

18:46

about the old Tower of Records is now a Supreme store?

18:49

Oh, see, for some reason that bumps

18:51

me out. Same. But

18:54

they had to do something with it. It

18:56

is beautiful. I did want to go in

18:58

there, see if I can buy something for

19:00

myself, feel guilty and then buy something smaller

19:02

for a loved one. But for a loved

19:04

one that doesn't actually want it. It's the

19:06

holidays. You know

19:08

how we do. Yeah, it is rare

19:10

that we are driving in Hollywood. This is

19:12

exciting. It's

19:14

great. This is where show

19:17

business comes to die. Yeah.

19:20

Also, I'm positive we just walked by

19:22

like a bass player and a guitar

19:24

player for whoever's playing like... Yeah, we're

19:26

at the Rainbow Room. Yeah. Everyone within

19:28

a quarter

19:30

square mile is a bass player.

19:33

Yeah. Just walking around killing time

19:35

before their big show tonight. Yeah. The

19:38

funniest thing ever was

19:40

when I saw Van Halen

19:43

Free Tickets. Oh. Yeah.

19:46

And David Lee Roth started

19:48

telling stories about... And they were like

19:51

graphic sexual stories

19:53

about things he would do

19:55

in the tiny corridor alley

19:57

walkway between the Rainbow Room.

20:00

and I think the key club and

20:02

everyone in the crowd was like kind of laughing at

20:04

first and then you could see them all Wanting

20:07

him to stop x-nay. Yeah, one of those

20:10

is fine, but we were back there smoking

20:12

cigarettes I'll tell you that we were smoking

20:14

something zap a new bop And

20:18

he wouldn't stop. Oh And

20:21

then he took off his shirt to

20:23

reveal he had two tattooed racing stripes

20:25

down his torso Filled

20:27

in with koi fish. No. Yes

20:31

He looked pretty good This

20:33

was what year? I would

20:35

say this was seven or eight years ago. Oh

20:38

very recently Yeah, could he still do some gymnastics?

20:40

Like he did you yes, that's all I want

20:42

I knew his voice would be shot, but can

20:44

he do the high kicks and he can't yes

20:47

Oh, but was his voice still pretty

20:49

cool though. I mean you can tell

20:52

it's his voice But

20:54

I kind of wanted to Have

20:56

him gargle from licorice Any

21:00

one of the great voices

21:02

of rock ever? Yeah. Yeah,

21:04

he really was That's

21:07

why I have a Van

21:10

Halen jacket with an embroidered dave on

21:12

front that I don't ever wear I

21:14

just have it Because

21:16

I don't want to tell her I don't want

21:18

to get in a conversation about Van Halen. Okay,

21:21

cuz I don't know anything And

21:24

so you bought the jacket for

21:26

what I had it was a

21:28

it was a sweat coat a

21:30

sweat jacket Hey,

21:32

what do you got a track sport

21:34

coat a track coat? No, that's a

21:36

a blade a running blazer Track

21:40

jacket that I stole from

21:42

my at the time mom's

21:44

boyfriend and then had

21:47

Because it was digitized and being embroidered

21:49

for something else had it done at my

21:52

workplace in Austin. I Didn't

21:55

track that story of why you had that jacket

21:57

it was just hey, do you have anything? Now

22:00

that we're embroidering Van Halen

22:02

logos on things, do

22:04

you have anything? And I'm like, I have

22:06

this old Trex blazer. Yeah, it's a sport.

22:09

Sporting coat. Sport coat blazer.

22:12

And I'd also

22:14

like that logo on my business pants. So

22:18

you put Van Halen on your, Yeah.

22:21

what I think people call

22:23

sometimes sweatshirts. Yeah, but it's

22:26

a jacket with a zipper. And

22:28

when you say jacket, does it have

22:30

lapels? Good

22:33

question. I do believe it does.

22:36

Yes, it does. Little collars. If it

22:39

was made of a different material, would people

22:41

say that is a blazer? No,

22:43

no, it is like a track. You

22:47

know when a track suit, like an Adidas

22:49

track suit? Yeah. This is just the

22:51

top and it's not made by Adidas. But

22:55

the shape of the actual jacket.

22:57

Yes. Is the sporting

23:00

nature. God

23:02

damn you. So I look

23:05

like if I were to wear it, someone that wasn't

23:07

in Van Halen, but maybe pulls cable or

23:10

makes sure that puddles are strapped

23:12

up during a concert. Got you. I look

23:14

like I'm a puddle boy. Great.

23:18

Lot like a ball boy. And you're afraid that

23:20

if you have that on, just

23:22

people are gonna come up to you willy nilly. Hey,

23:24

are you David Lee Roth? Hey, do you know

23:26

David Lee Roth? Like that was what you were

23:28

trying to avoid? I'm not that they think I'm

23:30

him, but that they'll go, hey ma'am, what's your

23:33

favorite album? And then it's like, ah, here we

23:35

go. So I can't

23:37

casually wear it. Okay, cause you don't have

23:39

a favorite album? I couldn't

23:41

even come up with one. So you want 50? I

23:44

would just say 5150 or Van Halen Van

23:46

Halen. Yeah, you're done.

23:48

Yeah. There's no challenge here.

23:50

Yeah. Get the jacket back on.

23:52

What if there's follow up questions? You

23:55

can say, excuse me, what the fuck are you

23:57

asking me all these questions for? They'll laugh. They'll

24:00

say, I'm sorry, I'm drunk, I just came out of

24:02

that bar. And then here you

24:04

go, new friend. Yeah, you've kind of

24:06

painted the picture of a healthy, fun interaction.

24:08

Couldn't I get a new friend out of

24:11

it? I mean, you don't know. You have

24:13

to earn it. Yeah, I guess so. But

24:15

I have to turn and ask them about

24:17

their jacket. Literally I'm, I'm

24:19

pretending to lecture you like you need to

24:21

be more open when if anybody would say

24:23

one thing to me, I'd literally turn around.

24:25

I would be like, no, no matter what

24:28

the question was, and then turn around. I know,

24:30

I knew it was a pretend lecture.

24:32

But do head directly at us first.

24:35

That's great. Head on collision whenever

24:37

it's convenient for you. That was a weird

24:39

zigzag. No wonder they keep this area clear.

24:41

It's for the hilarious hijinks. I

24:44

guess this is stupid people laying over

24:46

here. Yeah, and crossing dumb shit

24:48

boulevard. I think that if

24:50

we put ourselves in the shoes

24:53

of this, obviously it's confusing because

24:55

we've seen everyone's exact. Right.

24:58

It's scary. It's scary. But

25:00

like, watch now she's going to come toward us as

25:02

she tries to make this left. Well, as I said,

25:04

I'm just going over as she does that. Put yourself

25:06

in her shoes for a minute. It's

25:09

kind of a scary, a precarious situation. There's

25:12

all these rows of traffic. She's

25:15

actually just not going to do anything. Yeah, she's

25:17

frozen in fear. Oh

25:19

my God. What if she's

25:22

passed? I've been watching Six

25:25

Feet Under and I hope every

25:27

cold open is a mysterious death.

25:30

And it actually has me

25:32

a little paranoid. Your

25:35

upcoming death? Yes. Yeah.

25:37

It's like, you know, I

25:40

don't want to even have to think about that. No,

25:42

you shouldn't have to. No, and I

25:44

won't. I mean, quick

25:46

reminder. It's fiction.

25:49

It is fiction. Although, dying

25:52

is very real. Right. That's

25:54

no fiction. Yeah. So,

25:56

I'm back to being worried about it. Okay, but

25:58

I think... feel like and

26:02

I came to this conclusion at a young age that

26:04

I'm gonna dive old age yeah thank you

26:06

this is my thing in sixth grade Chris

26:08

Fairbanks wherever he might be whoever that is

26:11

he's gonna make it all

26:13

the way to the end did you get a year

26:15

2042 oh

26:18

god I guess this year isn't

26:20

gonna be my year oh that

26:23

seems like kind of far in the future but I

26:25

guess it really isn't so I'm gonna see success right

26:28

before that yeah okay that's

26:30

good you're going that's

26:33

just it is you're going have like the

26:35

set of a lifetime and one of

26:37

the many clubs we just passed on sunset trip and

26:39

when you're done you're gonna be like let's go meet

26:41

me at the rainbow room everybody and then you run

26:43

out into traffic what

26:46

a closer I

26:49

found my dad has told me this

26:51

story several times but when he's in

26:53

the radio business there was a guy

26:55

he was waiting for his time slot

26:57

and the guy was like profusely sweating

26:59

and sitting there they later found

27:01

out he had had a heart attack and he said

27:03

oh my god just leave me here Jim I want

27:05

to die on the air no yeah

27:08

and your dad was like sounds

27:10

good bye-bye no I think he

27:12

called the ambulance he

27:15

didn't mock him first but

27:19

for just being a drama queen yeah but

27:21

I mean talk about loving your job or

27:25

being lazy yeah exactly I

27:28

could see myself absolutely being like I don't

27:30

want to get out yeah ambulances

27:33

are expensive I'll just lay here I

27:35

used to do that when I first started

27:38

having seizures I would turn to people if I got

27:40

scared that I was gonna have a seizure I would

27:42

turn to my friends be like do not call an

27:44

ambulance it's so expensive oh that's funny

27:46

it would scare me the shit out of

27:48

everybody yeah not yeah that's

27:50

still my go-to belief

27:53

is that it's expensive and I can

27:55

probably just handle it you'll

27:57

walk it off yeah Well,

28:00

maybe let's promise to not talk

28:03

about death or right or any really any

28:05

32:07

picture for you here. Since

32:18

That was a nice. Though cause then

32:21

you can get a ride out exactly. Is

32:23

no adults cause we thought it

32:25

would be difficult him to find

32:27

guess. But also you what picking up his

32:29

own art at L a X because you

32:31

32:33

so perfectly jail yell at you the minute

32:36

32:40

has to just. Be that you, yeah, they're

32:42

running towards you and you open the door.

32:44

I. I'd say so bad. As soon

32:46

as you have your bag, I'll quit hiding

32:48

behind this in and out the men all

32:51

grab. Yeah, you can't just go in there

three quarters of a sudden scat.

dynamic. So now. We. My dear

neighborhood and I will say season with was

33:24

done over. Still think it's a luxury to

33:26

get to pick up because you don't have

33:29

to be rough. Final walk to the latter

33:31

area. Yeah as to cross country flight, that's.

33:33

That's. The breaking point I feel

33:35

sometimes is missing that track to

33:37

the final. The assesses there's like

33:39

one. Just any kind of

33:41

hiccup exact on the way home. it could

33:43

34:48

they're really financial security along with onset. Of

34:50

right, yeah, they have a plan B.

34:52

It also taught us if you see

34:54

someone say something just yes, which they

34:56

import. Absolutely. Look at the theater

34:58

Full sunset. I mean come on, this

35:01

drive after five. Because.

35:10

It's dark and scary. Right now

35:12

we're getting a beautiful sunset and.

35:14

And also sort of a daunting thing to

35:16

say of for system sized pizza affected right

35:18

now because you're right on the verge of

35:20

and a specific amount of a never would

35:22

have been sued Zero Five Zero is the

35:24

kind of there's like a zombie element that

35:26

comes out and you'll see. Your day but

yoga I did. I am. Alfred up

35:56

here. I believe I love Alfred. It could

35:58

also know who said. Alfred. I

36:01

also sort of, I would say, an LA,

36:03

it feels like, I

36:06

think just in LA, good coffee, a nice

36:08

breakfast sandwich, a little hip maybe, so sometimes

36:10

a little bit, you have to wait a

36:12

little bit, there's some people taking pictures of

36:14

their coffees, that kind of thing. Do you

36:17

work on your screenplay at Alfred? I'm not a,

36:19

I think maybe in New York,

36:21

I was like on the go,

36:23

but in LA I'm a real, work on

36:25

my screenplay at home and at night. I'm

36:27

a big night worker. Oh. And

36:30

do you think it's better just for

36:32

ideas instead? I

36:34

don't know what it is, but there's, I think this feels

36:36

really like safe to me about the evening,

36:38

like no one can interrupt me or no one needs

36:40

me or there's nothing like that can pop up. Right.

36:43

So there's something kind of nice about this is just my

36:46

time and so then I'm creating this world, I can just

36:48

cuddle into this world, where I think

36:50

it becomes a little hard during the

36:52

day or there's things happening that take

36:55

me out of the world. I do

36:57

all my important work off business

36:59

hours. Yeah. Because you never

37:01

know, nine to five, something's going to come up, you

37:04

have to pay a bill. There's always a bill. Also,

37:07

my brain, because of stand up, is

37:09

trained to only work at night. That

37:11

might be it too. Oh yeah. I

37:13

think that's a part of it too. That makes

37:15

sense. Yeah. Creatively. Creatively,

37:17

my brain is more activated at night as well. But from

37:19

the hours of eight to 12, if I

37:21

would wake up for it, I might be good at

37:23

math. Yeah. Yeah. I

37:26

mean, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, I

37:28

mean. And the

37:30

lights. And the light. Taking these lights.

37:33

I mean, it actually is kind of awesome. It

37:35

really is. Do you think people buy stuff at

37:37

these stores? Like how much is being bought and

37:39

how much of this is just sort of a

37:42

museum type thing? Right. I

37:44

think yes. I mean, like

37:46

Cartier, there's not a line, but there's no one

37:48

in. There's a line that, is it

37:50

a creative line? Because that store is hella funky.

37:54

And just incredibly barren.

37:56

What would you call that? like

38:00

a movie theater like oh

38:02

yeah like a VIP room ma'am stay away kind

38:04

of ambling

38:10

nearby yeah it's because they're

38:12

afraid that people are gonna do the

38:14

smash and grab thing that's all I'm

38:17

thinking about right but also I'll

38:19

tell you what if I was gonna do the smash and grab

38:21

that little velvet rope ain't gonna stop it's

38:24

just a fun thing to hurdle on

38:26

your way out. It almost gives me

38:28

momentum. Yeah, it's just I

38:30

like to show a little style when I

38:32

exit. Why not do it? It's a hurdle.

38:35

Yeah this is odd that's what I think of

38:38

and what I used to think of in this

38:40

area is just you know

38:42

you'd always hear about Lindsay Lohan or something

38:44

doing a U-turn and crashing. I

38:47

think of like early

38:50

2000s famous people just

38:54

putting pedal to the metal in their out

38:56

boots. You're a fool sir. You are a

38:58

fool going against traffic. And

39:00

you know that was probably like the

39:02

head of CIA or something. Yeah, yeah.

39:05

He did have a successful look. He

39:07

really did. He was like, I'm gonna

39:09

ride my bike wherever I want. I

39:12

don't care. I don't care. Try

39:14

to kill me. I rep. Someone

39:18

famous. Someone famous. Someone

39:21

famous. Don't say Lindsay

39:23

Lohan again. If you get to know

39:25

me you find that's the only celebrity

39:27

name I know. It's the only one

39:30

Chris cares about. Yeah, there's

39:32

so many Christmas movies that she's currently in.

39:35

Is she back? She's back.

39:37

Oh, she's back. She's better than ever. I

39:39

can take her off my worry list. Listen,

39:44

when did you move here from New York? I think

39:46

I moved here around five years ago at this point. What

39:48

do you think? I love

39:50

it. I grew up in

39:52

the suburbs and I think there was something

39:54

about by the time I got here I felt like a

39:57

very hominess to the LA where

39:59

I was going. I can still have, I like having

40:01

a car, I like going to a grocery store with big

40:03

aisles, like

40:05

little things that I

40:07

felt, I don't know.

40:09

So I think at this stage of my life, I really

40:12

am glad I spent the time in New York that I

40:14

did, but I'm very happy to be

40:16

here now. I feel very grounded here. Nice. Yeah.

40:20

I've, whenever I visit New York, I feel

40:22

like, oh, I should have spent some time

40:24

here. Oh, okay. You know, I don't know

40:26

why, but I assumed you did. You were always

40:29

LA? I was. And then I

40:31

go there and I'm like, oh, this audience

40:33

is really listening to what

40:35

I'm saying. There's no other distractions. Totally.

40:38

And, uh, but it's too late. I live

40:40

here and I love it. I can't go back

40:42

now. Yeah. And also you can

40:44

too. You know, like it's always there if

40:46

you ever want it. Like New York. That

40:49

was the best way to be argumentative.

40:51

Yeah. And also, yes, no.

40:53

Yeah. Because I agreed right away. You're

40:55

wrong. You're wrong. Yeah. You're

40:58

slightly wrong. I am wrong, but

41:00

I could be right one day. Wait a minute.

41:02

Wait a second. Yeah. I've

41:04

been tricked again. Well, it's almost, I agree though,

41:07

because it's kind of like it's, it is, is

41:09

never too late, especially if you already know how

41:11

to do comedy. It's not like you're, it would

41:13

be too late if you were starting comedy, I

41:15

think. Yeah. Right?

41:18

Yeah. I'm sorry. Do

41:20

you disagree with me too? I guess I feel,

41:22

I guess I feel I'm a

41:25

big believer in like you can kind of

41:27

start at any end. It

41:30

just means probably the older

41:32

you get, the more comforts you have

41:34

to give up. So I think it

41:36

just because maybe more difficult because yeah,

41:39

I wouldn't want to be living the life

41:41

I lived in New York and going to open mics the way

41:43

I did in New York at this stage of my life. But

41:45

I think if you had the hunger and really wanted to do

41:47

it, I don't think it's too late. Yeah. I

41:50

think I'm getting a weird version where I visit

41:52

and I do all the fun shows and then

41:54

I assume, oh, it'd be like this every night.

41:56

Right. Right. Yeah.

42:00

It's a fun place to stand up for sure.

42:02

There's a lot more bopping around. There's a real

42:04

community. I feel happy to have spent

42:07

that time there. But yeah, I

42:09

love making bread and soup.

42:11

I'm a real sort of like, I'm just kind

42:13

of boring. And so I think I really like

42:16

LA because it helps me just... We

42:19

have big, bigger kitchens. We

42:21

have bigger kitchens! And a

42:23

bigger demand for soup and bread. That's exactly...

42:25

Yes. This is a

42:27

soup city. I was a real life eating pop

42:29

chips in New York. I

42:31

never really had groceries. Right. Because

42:35

you were kind of trying to make ends meet?

42:38

No, you know, I think it was more of a

42:40

just like lifestyle thing. I would just work during

42:42

the day and go to shows.

42:44

Exactly. And then maybe there was

42:46

just so much access to good food

42:49

quickly, like easy... That I never had

42:51

the incentive to cook for myself. It

42:53

was almost equally affordable to eat on

42:55

the run. Yeah. That's

42:58

something I would anticipate. I had the best food

43:00

there and I was eating all the time because

43:03

everywhere you walk, it's like, this looks great. Totally.

43:06

I don't think I would ever cook at home. And you're walking

43:08

all the time. You're like, I need energy because I'm... Yeah.

43:12

On the go? On the go. Yeah,

43:14

it was. I did realize

43:16

the luck because I stayed there about 10 days

43:18

and I was sore. Yes. Because

43:21

of how much I was running around that city. Totally.

43:24

And that's a good thing. Chris, do you want to run into Le Pen Quot? Yes.

43:27

I swear that I'm almost having trouble

43:29

processing thoughts. Here we go. Yeah, come

43:32

right here. And this is kind of a New York

43:34

place that's sort of sitting. Le Pen Quot is a year about because I

43:36

won't be able to park. Permission to go down

43:38

that alley? Do it. It's Le Pen

43:40

Quot today. I'm going to go into Le Pen

43:42

Quot. Do it. Thank you. My

43:44

apologies. We'll be around the block and

43:46

we'll come back and pick you up. This is all a

43:48

hilarious bit that's going to have a fun reveal. Press

43:51

that button and go because the light is green.

43:53

Bye. Bye. This

43:55

is crazy. Are you

43:57

going to do it? No. No.

44:00

Okay, I tried. I tried

44:02

to be nice and you made me pay. You

44:04

know, it's really funny I have

44:06

a shirt that I need to return

44:08

around here at the Club Monaco I

44:11

just got it this morning over here.

44:13

No way I had to pick up a Stupid

44:16

I had to pick up a prescription over here

44:19

And then I was like, oh, I'm gonna try to

44:21

get something for the Christmas party And

44:23

I thought I wouldn't try it on in the store.

44:25

I do that these days, you know I just want

44:27

I don't want to get involved. I mean either. I

44:30

mean either Yeah, but then I wonder

44:33

since I'm here because our Christmas party is

44:35

tomorrow if I could just run

44:37

in be like you have this in large definitely, I

44:39

mean Do you have a place

44:42

to be no, let's I got nothing. Okay. We'll

44:44

make sure Chris gets picked back up So

44:46

he's not left alone. Okay. I thought that

44:49

that over there was a

44:51

miniature Mannequin, but

44:53

it's a picture That's like see

44:55

what a bridge it does See

44:58

look this store couldn't be on here She's

45:04

like just plain Candy Crush

45:06

on her phone like I hate it here. I Mean

45:10

are you ready for the holidays? It hasn't

45:12

absorbed into me No, now I'm looking

45:14

at all these Christmas lights where it's just

45:17

like oh shit We're

45:19

in December. I know well, Ellie's weird That is

45:21

the weird part of LA is because you don't

45:23

really feel the weather change. It just sneaks up

45:25

on you Yes, and today it

45:27

became 80 degrees. I know all of a sudden.

45:29

I know insane I hosted Thanksgiving so I

45:31

feel like I had so much energy That

45:34

I put towards that that I'm kind of where

45:36

they fare about Christmas now. I'm okay. I ask

45:38

you Wow,

45:40

how many people did you have? Let's

45:42

see I four

45:47

Eight We have mine. Yeah,

45:49

that's big. Yeah, it was fun. I'm Greek.

45:51

You know so I I I'm

45:53

sort of I like cooking I like hosting

45:55

and grew up with a lot of people

45:58

in the house and that's fun Yeah.

46:00

Did anybody else, like did people bring stuff?

46:02

Did you have it? Did you split it

46:04

up? Yeah, my boyfriend's brother brought a couple

46:07

of great veggie dishes and then my boyfriend's

46:09

dad came by to help with the turkey

46:11

because we had never we had never met

46:14

a turkey before. Turkey is very tricky. It

46:16

is. Yeah, and I'm a vegetarian,

46:18

so I have never

46:20

even cooked meat and it feels like turkey

46:23

is kind of the king of meats because

46:25

it's so big and it has

46:27

to be, yeah, butter

46:29

and stuff and so much stuff.

46:31

And also my dad, my dad's a

46:34

good cook and he's the one that always does

46:36

it, but he was like, you have to take

46:38

it out before it's done because it keeps on

46:40

cooking. And so that's why

46:42

people always have dry turkey and do

46:44

that part of it. And you kind of

46:46

have to be brave to do that because of course

46:48

you're like, well, I'm going to serve undercooked turkey. So

46:50

it's a big swing to take it out early. Yeah,

46:52

it's like you're, it's a real high wire act and

46:54

I never really understood it till this year because my

46:56

dad took it out and I was like, could

46:59

you, I was positive it was going to be gross and

47:01

I was like, if we have

47:03

pink, yes, we can have pink. Pink

47:05

turkey? No, no, no, no. So how'd

47:07

you guys do with your turkey? It

47:10

came out great, but I would say

47:12

when I say he helped, it was

47:14

more like he's a great cook too and

47:16

he, I would say he sort of made it

47:18

and we kind of watched on. Okay. So that

47:20

felt, that's why it felt easy because I didn't

47:22

have to do the turkey. So then it was

47:24

just kind of making sides and all the other

47:26

stuff. Now, do you feel like next year you

47:28

could make the turkey based on what you learned?

47:30

I think, no,

47:34

one way I

47:37

think made me and my boyfriend absorbed more.

47:39

I was kind of worried about the other

47:41

dishes. And so he was more on duty

47:43

and I really am kind of grossed out

47:45

by meat. So I, I

47:49

turned away. Yeah. I wasn't that

47:51

actively looking, especially when like the skin was

47:54

being taken off. Yeah. But it smelled

47:56

delicious and everyone loved it. So yeah.

48:00

I'll quote, if

48:02

people didn't have that feeling of you were kind

48:04

of juggling and it was a little bit stressful

48:06

or was it like because because that's how your

48:08

family operates it was like yay it's this is

48:10

mother's milk and I love it all. For me

48:13

it's like definitely yay I've actually like last year

48:15

for Greek Easter I think I had like 25

48:18

people or something I kind

48:20

of get a high off of it I

48:22

really love and I used to wait for

48:24

so there's a real feeling I like of

48:26

time pressure and moving around and making sure

48:28

everyone's fed and everything's like ready on time

48:30

I really like it. Yeah it's very

48:32

fun. Yes and this is like

48:34

kind of emo but there's something

48:36

very like I feel

48:40

very there's something

48:42

very cool about like when I'm peeling potatoes or

48:44

when I'm like buttering the spanakopita and I like

48:47

know that my grandparents did the same thing

48:49

and like I can see them doing it

48:51

and so there's something like very especially live

48:53

out here I don't have any family out

48:55

here there's something that grounds me a lot

48:58

in life I'm doing something that I my

49:00

like ancestors did. Yeah that's great. Yeah yeah

49:02

I had the kind of parents

49:04

who oh my dad had eight brothers and

49:06

sisters so we are big family and I

49:08

love it but I would do like when

49:10

I first like moved out

49:12

and had like dinner parties and

49:14

so I would have dinner parties but

49:16

I can only cook like two things

49:18

and they involve Campbell's soup yeah it's

49:20

not great and you know I realized

49:22

like oh people are actually looking

49:25

for a nice dinner if you had a

49:27

dinner party you'd need to be serving kind of

49:29

good food totally and I'd be like oh I just wanted

49:31

to get drunk on white wine friends over especially it's

49:35

a different thing yeah and there is like a

49:38

turn where that happens because I didn't it's

49:40

funny but didn't really happen if I were

49:43

invited to someone's place I was never expecting

49:45

good food yeah but then third is yes

49:47

like yeah well I'm going for dinner yeah

49:49

there's gonna yeah yeah feed me good dinner

49:52

good food right better yeah so

49:54

did your dad teach you how to cook no

49:57

my dad was the kind of cook if you like

49:59

you know it's easy You just eyeball it.

50:01

He was always that kind of like this

50:03

should be natural or something. Yes Just

50:06

recently I think it was for Thanksgiving. There were

50:08

some Recipe where I was like dad.

50:11

I would love Oh is a salad dressing

50:13

that was really really good I was like,

50:15

can you just write that down for me? He's like,

50:17

you know, it's easy It's like and it's that kind

50:19

of thing where you're just like, I

50:22

don't know I did in fact that yeah

50:24

I'm not an eyeballer at all. I need

50:26

real clear instructions and directions. I think it's

50:28

a different It's like an art. It

50:30

really is. Yeah, and if you have I

50:33

think in a natural knack for it of

50:35

like the rhythm of Cook yes, then that

50:37

is a normal thing to say to somebody

50:39

Yeah, it's easy But it's like

50:41

I'm the person that I had my friend Bradford

50:43

tried to teach me to cook a specific dish

50:45

and he had to say Oh, no.

50:47

No, you can't walk away While

50:50

you're sauteing these onions, you can't just leave and I

50:52

was like wait what I was like cuz I just

50:54

kind of got Totally went into

50:56

the other room and he's like no, no, this

50:59

is a you're doing this now for the duration.

51:01

I was like, oh Okay,

51:04

totally. Yes. Yeah, but

51:06

that is also the cool thing about cooking is like Once

51:09

you know a dish then you can start eyeballing

51:11

it, but I can't go backwards I can't start

51:13

by eyeballing and that's how I learned I do

51:15

it right exactly. Yeah, someone needs to be patient

51:17

with you. Exactly a little bit. I think I'm

51:19

just gonna pull yeah This is good Cuz

51:22

it's right there. Yeah This

51:26

is kind of like the LAX

51:28

process. It's time. I yell

51:30

it out. Yeah, he might sort

51:32

of nervous energy Yeah,

51:35

not an ideal plan. And also

51:37

why would he still be inside? Wait, also did he

51:39

have to use the restroom? He should come at mine

51:43

Well, you know, it's so funny. That's when you said we

51:45

pulled up and he goes is it weird for me to

51:47

ask? Oh gosh, I was like,

51:49

yes, we don't know her. Oh my gosh.

51:51

No That's on me

51:53

now it's on me it's so there is oh We

51:59

do that say sorry Were you waiting here

52:01

a long time? No, we just put

52:03

up. Oh, good. Good. OK. And also,

52:05

Elizabeth, he should have gone

52:07

in my house. Oh, yeah.

52:10

I was like, wait, did he have to use the red one? I'm

52:12

like, oh. I just didn't want to open with that.

52:14

No, sure. I get it. I get it. I was

52:17

throwing in a lot of subtle hints. It's

52:19

OK, though. I did a little smash

52:22

and grab, and I got a small

52:24

tennis break. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Beverly

52:28

Hills. And almost

52:30

got into a couple other Teslas.

52:32

I scared some people. Oh, right.

52:35

On this street, this is probably, yeah. And

52:37

one was not even, it was more of a

52:39

Porsche. The color seemed right.

52:43

Oh, thank you. Everything I've said is

52:45

off the record, and I'm back.

52:47

Now we're back. I did an interesting thing

52:49

where I just cut to the choice of

52:53

cutting to the truth, which

52:55

I just said, hi, I'm not purchasing

52:57

anything. I just want to use the

52:59

restroom. And she really appreciated it.

53:01

Oh, really? Yeah. No. I just went right

53:04

up front. I did a real. I like

53:06

that. She was fine with it? I'm

53:08

not going to buy any baked goods. I

53:11

said, may I use the

53:13

restroom? She really liked it. That's

53:15

great. Wow. What did you all talk about?

53:18

Well, Thanksgiving, Alyssa

53:20

hosting eight people, cooking, the

53:23

difficulties, the joys. We

53:26

really got into it. We're very close

53:28

friends now. Look at that Massachusetts license

53:30

plate where I'm from. Oh,

53:33

look at that. Hello. And

53:35

Sudbury Herb Chambers. My car is from

53:37

Herb Chambers as well. Right? And yeah,

53:39

Herb Chambers. Yeah. It's such a

53:41

great. My boyfriend always loves it because it's

53:43

such a crazy name. Herb Chambers. Do you

53:45

want to go and not conceive you know? I

53:49

mean, if

53:51

it is a person from Missoula,

53:53

Montana, where I'm from, I will

53:56

say hi. I am from Missoula also just because

53:59

it's such a small. I'll say that with

54:01

Rhode Island. I think my piece is too big because

54:03

they could be from a totally different part. Herb Chambers

54:05

does feel like odds are high. Herb

54:08

Chambers! That's

54:11

where your mom would visit

54:13

in your impression of your mom. Exactly!

54:15

It's a your mom video. Oh my

54:17

goodness. So hilarious. Thank you so much.

54:19

So good. That's so nice. Thank you. Yeah,

54:21

that's where it's from. She was born in

54:24

Rhode Island, so she has a Cranston accent,

54:26

and then I lived in T-Conc Mass my

54:28

whole life. Has your

54:30

mom visited you here in Long Channel? She did. She came for

54:32

Thanksgiving. Oh, she was at that party? She

54:34

was at the... Yep, she was there. I

54:37

think that she loves Elisha. Oh, it's so

54:40

nice in the weather. My God, this is

54:42

really nice. Oh, yeah. I can't believe we're

54:44

allowed to... We walk down here and she's

54:46

like, I don't even know if we're allowed to

54:48

walk on the street. We're not rich enough to

54:50

even walk on the street. Yeah, she loves it

54:52

here. She loves it. But

54:55

I think she

54:57

just has so much family and friends

54:59

and math. I don't know if she'd move here, but she

55:01

loves visiting. Yeah, parents love

55:03

the weather here. They love the weather. If

55:06

you want to see your parents more, which

55:08

a lot of young adults do, they

55:11

miss them and they love them. You want

55:13

a quick drop in, make sure it's 75,

55:16

all year round. Yep. Yep. Yeah.

55:18

That's what we do. And

55:20

are your parents or

55:23

is your mom the kind of parent who

55:25

might move to LA since you live out

55:27

here? It's interesting.

55:29

I feel like, yes.

55:33

Okay, so basically a lot of those videos started

55:35

because my dad passed away, they were very close,

55:38

and then I was in New York and my

55:40

mom did move to New York to

55:42

be with me right after my dad died because it

55:44

was just like she just wanted to be closer to

55:46

me. Of course. So,

55:50

yes, I do think she's the type that would

55:52

move out here because I'm out here. But I

55:54

think that she loves the stimulation of the city,

55:56

and I do think the parts that I love

55:58

about LA, I'm like, calmness and the suburban

56:01

nature and in her mind she was

56:03

like well I'm just gonna be lonely out. Like

56:06

she is yeah it's almost like well then

56:08

I might as well just still

56:10

be in my close to my home if I'm

56:12

gonna be in the suburbs. Right. There's

56:14

New York I think it offered a sort of energy

56:17

that yes was helpful. Yeah

56:20

or at least distracting. That's

56:22

right. That's right. I think New York

56:24

is the greatest healer for any you

56:26

know if you need a little goal to

56:29

see your life is turned

56:32

upside down I do think New York is a real

56:34

friend. I love New York for that. I agree. But

56:36

then where you don't need it quite as much I

56:38

think yeah. Then it's like a friend

56:40

who did some cocaine while you were gone and

56:42

then you're like wait we're not on the

56:44

same level. Exactly exactly. It's Wednesday.

56:46

It's Wednesday at two. Yeah exactly.

56:48

What are we doing party wise

56:50

here? What's happening? Unless

56:53

it's closed wait. It's 5.20. You gotta

56:55

go. You're right here. You gotta do

56:58

it. I'm gonna close really quickly return

57:00

the shirt into this. And then you know

57:02

it's time to press them I can add

57:04

some solo time. It's like a new way

57:07

to do this. Yeah we should have been

57:09

doing this. This

57:11

whole time. It's overwhelming. It's

57:14

true. When we're approached by

57:16

a traffic cop what

57:19

do I do? Do I just put my hand

57:21

on the steering wheel and act like I'm in

57:23

control? Our driver is she had just ran in.

57:25

She's right there. She had a Club Monaco emergency.

57:29

They won't know. I'll just say this is

57:31

a self-driving car and it's making a mistake.

57:35

And you just need to give us one

57:37

moment to change the mistake. Yeah. I'll

57:39

be right back. Finally

57:43

we can actually talk. How have you been?

57:45

Oh my goodness. Thank

57:47

god. Oh wow.

57:52

What oh yeah that was a sudden

57:54

we were outdoors for a minute. Yeah.

57:58

I'm a big fan of those. videos.

58:00

I remember seeing them before

58:02

I knew anything of you. Oh, yeah.

58:05

And they're so fun. Yeah, they're so fun. They were

58:07

really fun to make a really joyful way to spend

58:09

time with my mom. And yeah, and

58:12

it's nice because, you know, I, my

58:14

mom ended up moving out of that. So

58:17

her, my dad like built a house together. Then I

58:19

lived there my whole life. They lived there their whole

58:21

life. And my dad died in that house. So that

58:23

house is like, you know, very meaningful

58:25

to me. And it's no longer there. My mom moved out.

58:28

So now those videos are kind of nice for me

58:30

even because I get to watch them and feel like,

58:32

I don't know, like I'm watching some home

58:34

videos. Yeah. There's something a little nostalgic about it

58:37

for me now, which is nice. And

58:39

having good times during what was obviously

58:41

a sad time. Exactly. Yeah,

58:43

totally. Are your parents both? No,

58:47

actually, Karen and I both, our

58:49

moms had Alzheimer's and have passed

58:51

and originally that was going to

58:53

be the theme of the podcast.

58:55

It sounds like tons of laughs.

58:57

Yeah. And then one day Karen

58:59

had the idea of like, what

59:01

if we take comedians to the

59:03

airport? And I'm like, Oh, that

59:05

sounds much more tier less.

59:08

Here I am. But that was

59:10

one of the ways she

59:13

and I bonded. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry to hear

59:15

that. That feels like a very tough route.

59:19

Yeah. People always talk about the

59:21

witch because I've had friends that suddenly

59:23

lost a parent and I saw them affected

59:26

in a permanent way by

59:29

that in a way where I'm like, well,

59:32

I'm glad mine took 10 years. It was

59:34

gradual. Right. Totally. This is kind of dark

59:36

talk. We like to keep things light and

59:38

I'm glad we're having this time to get,

59:41

we're getting gothy in here. Okay. Good.

59:43

I'm gothy. So am I. I

59:45

have a zipper patch that I ordered from

59:47

Hot Topic on my jacket. Oh yeah. Yeah.

59:50

Oh, it's just a zipper. Oh, it looks like a

59:52

zipper, but it's a patch. Yeah.

59:55

Yeah. I've been ordering a lot of,

59:58

you know, Jack the Skeleton. like,

1:00:00

or just, I messed

1:00:02

that up before. Yeah, Jack Skellington. I

1:00:05

wouldn't even know the difference. I'm like,

1:00:07

sure Jack Skellington, he's a good man.

1:00:09

He's my skeleton. Yeah,

1:00:13

no, I don't think there's a, it's almost like

1:00:15

there's no good way, it's just there are different

1:00:17

types of bad ideas. Yeah, different things

1:00:19

you have to... How

1:00:22

therapeutic was doing your

1:00:24

Peacock special about it? It

1:00:26

really was, I would say that show in general

1:00:28

was therapeutic. So yeah, I did a solo show

1:00:31

called No Bad Days. It's on Peacock and when

1:00:33

I, it was very therapeutic,

1:00:35

I started that like right after my dad died.

1:00:38

And that was very therapeutic. And then I think

1:00:40

I stopped at a certain point because it maybe stopped

1:00:43

being therapeutic and it started just feeling like painful.

1:00:45

Yes. And then coming back for Peacock

1:00:47

was so interesting because it was

1:00:50

like a whole different type of therapeutic. It

1:00:52

was maybe the letting go. That

1:00:55

first chunk was like processing and dealing and

1:00:57

talking and sharing and like help, I need

1:00:59

to talk about this. And then

1:01:01

to come back as like an adult,

1:01:03

whatever, eight years later, however long it

1:01:05

was, I didn't, I

1:01:07

thought like, oh, I'm sort of done processing

1:01:10

this and I was in a way, but

1:01:12

I wasn't, I hadn't let go yet. And

1:01:14

that really, that's what the Peacock

1:01:16

special I think helped me do is do. Okay, let

1:01:18

me say goodbye. Did you during the

1:01:20

recording of it in a surprise

1:01:23

way suddenly get emotional? What

1:01:26

a question because I,

1:01:30

I, the rehearsal for that day

1:01:32

we did a rehearsal and I could

1:01:35

not stop crying. Yeah, we did the

1:01:38

whole thing and I was we had

1:01:40

to do like a Q to Q

1:01:42

and I was weeping, weeping, weeping. And

1:01:44

it was so wild because I wasn't,

1:01:46

I hadn't wept about it in so

1:01:48

long and I really feel like

1:01:51

it was like, cause

1:01:53

I didn't really cry at my dad's funeral cause my

1:01:56

mom was so upset. I felt I sort of was

1:01:58

just kind of. Anyway, so

1:02:00

it was like, I felt, oh, this is

1:02:02

the funeral for my dad. This is like

1:02:04

eight years later today. I'm recognizing, like I'm

1:02:06

saying goodbye and it, yeah. And

1:02:09

then, yeah, I

1:02:11

felt, I guess better on the other end of it. That's,

1:02:14

I asked that kind

1:02:16

of specific question because that's what happens.

1:02:18

And during my special that

1:02:20

I recorded, I just, all

1:02:22

I was doing was thanking my mom. Oh. And at

1:02:25

the end there was like a, you

1:02:27

know, an Alzheimer's website

1:02:29

and, uh, just

1:02:31

talking about it or even having conversations

1:02:34

with people, I would be

1:02:36

fine. So I thought I was over

1:02:38

it, but once, and it has something

1:02:40

to do with all the emotions you go through while

1:02:42

performing that you're probably at two. Yes.

1:02:45

And it happened to me too. At the end,

1:02:47

I just started crying and they kept

1:02:49

it in, but it was, I did

1:02:52

not expect that to happen and we did

1:02:54

two shows and it happened each time. Yep.

1:02:56

Like, well, surely this isn't going to happen

1:02:58

a second time, but it was, that

1:03:00

was the kind of therapeutic moment where it's

1:03:02

like, Oh, clearly I haven't. Quite.

1:03:05

Yeah. There was plenty of grieving

1:03:07

left. That's how I felt too. And how

1:03:09

long, how long was the gap between the

1:03:11

special and. Yeah. It

1:03:14

was two more than

1:03:16

two years. Okay. So that's

1:03:18

a pretty, yeah, that's a pretty short

1:03:20

amount of time too. So of course you're, yeah, that

1:03:22

makes sense. That's interesting. I'm glad

1:03:24

to hear you say that. Cause I thought

1:03:26

that I was like, well, I guess I

1:03:28

have no control over my emotions. I

1:03:31

was so emotional. I called my, I

1:03:34

called my track coach weeping

1:03:36

in between rehearsal, just being

1:03:38

like, thank you for like everything

1:03:41

you taught me. I was like an open book

1:03:43

of just like, Oh my God, there's so much

1:03:45

that I just haven't let out. And

1:03:47

why do your track coach? Hi, I'm guessing

1:03:50

he was like a paternal figure in my life and running

1:03:52

was such a big part of my life and kind of

1:03:54

a big part of the special. So I think that it,

1:03:57

something about it just made me be

1:03:59

like, Oh, I'm so appreciative of this

1:04:01

person in my life. Yeah, that's great. Yeah.

1:04:04

Are you still running? I

1:04:06

am not really, no. I have

1:04:08

bad hips, so. Uh-oh. Yeah.

1:04:11

Hey, don't get me started. Talk to me, we got bad hips

1:04:13

in the group? I

1:04:15

have a replaced hip. Hey!

1:04:18

That I got somewhere in that window

1:04:20

of time that we're talking about. No way!

1:04:22

And it works great in case you were

1:04:24

thinking about it. Yeah, I have a labral

1:04:26

tear. Oh, OK. I don't know

1:04:28

much about the tears. What about you?

1:04:31

You have a? I just had my

1:04:33

bones were rubbing together. And they said, you

1:04:35

were born with bad hips. You have the

1:04:37

hips of an old man. And I thought

1:04:39

it would be something cool like, oh, you

1:04:42

snowboarded too hard. That's right. But

1:04:44

no, it was just apparently,

1:04:46

and my friends let me know, I've

1:04:48

been complaining about it since I was

1:04:50

a teenager. So. Wow.

1:04:52

And now you feel pretty much better? Oh,

1:04:54

yeah. It really works. It

1:05:00

feels like a great chance for me to

1:05:02

jump back in. Welcome back to the car.

1:05:04

I am back in the car. Welcome back.

1:05:06

Sorry, I didn't have a

1:05:08

key to the city waiting. Well, you

1:05:11

have a key to your replaced hips.

1:05:13

Yes. That old. Had

1:05:15

the shirt, was it guys successful? I

1:05:17

bought a shirt that is so popular

1:05:20

because I needed one size larger. And

1:05:22

they were like, they don't have it

1:05:24

not only anywhere in the city, anywhere

1:05:26

in the nation. Oh my

1:05:28

goodness. They checked the New York stores.

1:05:30

And they were like, we can't even order it

1:05:33

for you from our New York stores.

1:05:35

And I was like, well, then you have good

1:05:38

taste. Exactly. Wow. So what did you, I

1:05:40

saw you came back with a bag. Did you just keep it?

1:05:42

I just kept it and said, I'm going to do this at

1:05:44

different times because I'm parked illegally and this party

1:05:46

is tomorrow. So all of this was bad

1:05:48

planning in every way. But I'm glad you

1:05:51

checked. Now you know. And you know what? Thank

1:05:53

you for being the kind of guest

1:05:55

that wasn't like what? And like

1:05:57

basically allowed me to do an

1:05:59

actual. Oh, of course during

1:06:01

the podcast. I sort of thought that

1:06:04

was the Bug and I was

1:06:06

a little stressed today that I didn't have a tour So

1:06:08

in a way you almost gave me a gift of great

1:06:10

now we have something now we have yes I should I'm

1:06:12

trying to give you this shirt. Yeah, like

1:06:14

the full circle moment. Yes. Yes. Wait.

1:06:17

Did you find the shirt? No, no,

1:06:19

I don't okay. I thought I have my

1:06:22

It's too small for me So now

1:06:25

it's such a popular shirt Did you like see

1:06:27

it somewhere or how did you find it? It

1:06:30

was just you picked it on the when you

1:06:32

walk in I yeah I was picking up a

1:06:34

prescription like down the block and then I said

1:06:36

I looked at Club Monaco Which is has some

1:06:38

classic to do they do and

1:06:40

I said I'm gonna just give it a

1:06:42

try because I might just find one Simple

1:06:44

but classy blouse that I can wear tomorrow

1:06:46

and take care of like all my concerns and

1:06:49

then I found it But I did a thing because

1:06:51

I've lost some weight recently So I was like I

1:06:53

think I'm this size and I'm not

1:06:55

I just and I didn't try

1:06:57

to hunt in that store It's

1:07:00

like sizes are so crazy to see never

1:07:02

really if you don't know a brand you're

1:07:04

like, you know that run smaller big Yes,

1:07:06

so I did it Thoroughly

1:07:09

incorrectly like I'm doing this right now or I'm

1:07:11

stopping in the middle of the intersection to let

1:07:14

somebody Because I'm

1:07:16

gonna block traffic. I Just

1:07:18

kind of wanted it to be over I

1:07:20

don't like trying on clothes in in stores

1:07:23

anyway I don't want to

1:07:25

learn the sales ladies name or get

1:07:27

involved I want it to be fast

1:07:29

and easy and it is do you want her

1:07:31

to knock and say how's it going? I'm going in

1:07:33

there. Let me know if you need anything else. No, I just

1:07:36

don't answer if that happens I want them to think

1:07:38

that I fell and hit my head I

1:07:44

always go into a changing room with a bag of fake

1:07:46

blood There's

1:07:48

a little under there a little down

1:07:51

your head. Yeah Make

1:07:56

their day. Yeah. Well, I

1:07:58

got so into online shopping and turning

1:08:00

during the pandemic that now when I go into

1:08:02

a store, it almost

1:08:04

feels so radical to leave

1:08:06

with the item. There's something so

1:08:09

like, yeah, I don't have

1:08:11

to wait. I get to have it now.

1:08:14

I had a thing too where, because

1:08:16

working from home, it's just

1:08:18

something I've just been doing for so long, that

1:08:21

it's like, if it's a weekday, I don't

1:08:23

get to shop. I

1:08:25

have it all blacked out in my head of when

1:08:28

and where I can get things. So I have this crazy

1:08:30

feeling of like, I want to get

1:08:32

this thing in a break during the day where I

1:08:34

was just like, oh my god, I have to

1:08:36

get whatever I can while I can. This crazy person.

1:08:38

And then just like, this will fit me. This will

1:08:41

be fine. And just like all of this is insane.

1:08:44

So what's the holiday party? It's for the

1:08:46

podcast network. OK, so now do you have

1:08:48

a shirt? I

1:08:52

will probably wear something

1:08:54

I already have. It's

1:08:57

nice to get a holiday shirt. Sure.

1:09:00

Yeah, I already have a bit of

1:09:02

a clothing buying problem. It's

1:09:05

gotten better since I

1:09:07

quit drinking. Oh, yeah, you quit

1:09:09

drinking? Yeah, I did. And I

1:09:11

used to, I think late at

1:09:13

night, buy purchase things. That was

1:09:15

my party. Totally. Online? Yeah.

1:09:18

Like just me, four, five,

1:09:20

or maybe all six white

1:09:22

clothes. And

1:09:24

then just commence to

1:09:26

shopping. Now I'm more

1:09:29

sober decision shopping. Now you have

1:09:31

to get to wear in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:09:33

So it is a bowling

1:09:36

party. So I will bring my new

1:09:38

ball and my new bowling shoes. And

1:09:40

I'm very excited. Oh, it's a

1:09:42

bowling holiday party. Yes. That's fun. OK, so it kind

1:09:45

of takes the pressure off the outfit a little bit.

1:09:47

Yeah. Because it's an active thing. Yes. OK.

1:09:50

And also, I think the reason I wanted

1:09:52

to get a shirt was because my original

1:09:54

outfit choice was a velvet dress. Right.

1:09:56

And I was like, what am I doing? It's

1:09:58

weird. Right. And also I

1:10:00

don't really wear stuff like that, so I'm not sure. I was...

1:10:03

The holidays... I like to look

1:10:05

at a catalog and be like, here's how I'm gonna

1:10:07

be different now. And it

1:10:10

doesn't work that way. I know. I

1:10:12

know. I think that's why I like when I'm on

1:10:14

a movie or something, getting caught, because

1:10:16

I'm like, I'll never really make big choices. So when someone

1:10:18

else makes big choices, I'm like, I think that's why

1:10:21

I have the access to... There's nothing

1:10:23

stopping us from you wearing that velvet

1:10:25

dress, but we are just... We

1:10:27

have a way we look, and I don't usually stray

1:10:30

from it. Right. I don't make big swings. Have

1:10:32

you ever asked to keep something you wear?

1:10:34

I feel like I always ask to buy something

1:10:36

off of it. Keep a little piece of the

1:10:38

character with you. Yeah, because it's just gonna end

1:10:40

up in a collection of some costume

1:10:43

person. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I like to

1:10:45

keep a little something here or

1:10:47

there. What's the most fun character,

1:10:49

like, costume that you've worn that

1:10:52

you felt like was a big change? I

1:10:55

just finished this movie called

1:10:58

Coming Together, and I played

1:11:00

like a really quirky, upbeat,

1:11:03

colorful wearing doll, which

1:11:05

is very different for me. And everyone

1:11:07

on set would be like, oh my gosh, like,

1:11:10

do you want to just keep all these? And in

1:11:12

my head, I was like, I feel so... I

1:11:14

was so, like, aware of myself. Yeah. I

1:11:16

was like, I'm so aware of myself. And

1:11:18

I guess there's... Yeah, something about that made

1:11:21

me so uncomfortable. But also, it

1:11:24

did change me a little. I like now buy

1:11:26

some bright things because I'm like, I should be

1:11:29

okay with wearing a lot of things. But yeah,

1:11:31

maybe that's the New York too. There

1:11:33

was a real feeling of, I want to

1:11:36

blend in. Yes. I like blending. I

1:11:38

don't love... Maybe because I feel like I'm

1:11:40

a little loud, so... My

1:11:42

voice is loud. I'm

1:11:45

loud as a person that I also don't need my

1:11:47

clothes to be... I

1:11:49

hurt people. It might be too much.

1:11:52

I need to let them have a break on my

1:11:54

clothing, yeah. Also, I always felt in New York, like,

1:11:56

I wanted to be able to do that kind of

1:11:58

chic day to night thing, where it's like... If

1:12:00

you have a specifically too casual daytime

1:12:03

outfit, then you might not be able

1:12:05

to transfer to, well,

1:12:08

let's go straight to the restaurant then, where it's like, I

1:12:10

don't know. Because that really wasn't yours. You were always

1:12:13

out for the whole day. It was like, when you

1:12:15

come back to your apartment, you're back for like sleeping.

1:12:17

Yes, and I made a deadly decision one time where

1:12:19

I went out early in the

1:12:21

day, because as you were saying,

1:12:23

at such an astute point, I basically

1:12:26

was gonna get a divorce and just

1:12:28

like left and moved to New York

1:12:30

to like get away. I

1:12:32

said, I wouldn't have to talk to people about it. And

1:12:34

it was the best because it was like, no

1:12:36

one knows you're anonymous, completely anonymous, walking

1:12:38

through huge masses of people, just

1:12:40

churning through like subway up, down,

1:12:43

the whole thing, it's so soothing.

1:12:46

But one day I made the mistake

1:12:48

of going out wearing like

1:12:50

a kind of oversized

1:12:53

t-shirt to like walk around in, almost

1:12:55

work out in. And

1:12:59

maybe a layer that was in my bag.

1:13:02

I cut to 12.30

1:13:04

that night. I'm at a Dave

1:13:06

Hill concert in that same shirt going, how am

1:13:08

I wearing this outfit like at a club in

1:13:11

New York? How am I? I looked

1:13:13

like I just, like

1:13:15

I came outside to empty the garbage,

1:13:17

got locked outside in the adventure began.

1:13:19

Like that's odd, like it was hilarious

1:13:22

and embarrassing. But of course, also no

1:13:24

one gives a shit. No one gives a shit. I'm

1:13:26

like, yeah, you're like, yeah,

1:13:28

I'll go to a concert that I wasn't planning on

1:13:31

going to. Like in LA, are you kidding?

1:13:33

I have plans like weeks in advance in

1:13:35

New York. I'm like, yeah, I'll do something

1:13:37

crazy tonight. I get swept away by the,

1:13:39

yes. Have you

1:13:41

had any good celebrity sightings while you've been here?

1:13:45

Okay, well, I was at

1:13:47

a movie premiere last night. Were you in it?

1:13:50

No, I wasn't in it. It was my

1:13:52

manager's client directed and wrote it. And, you

1:13:56

know, was there the, this isn't even the,

1:13:58

I don't even know her name. I just. But

1:14:00

you know the like dance mom who is really

1:14:03

intense? Abby the

1:14:05

main lady? Yeah, she was there. Holy

1:14:08

shit. And when I tell you the way the

1:14:10

crowd like whenever she she came through it was really like

1:14:13

presidential like everyone was sort

1:14:15

of like yeah tightening

1:14:18

up turning to her making sure she had

1:14:20

everything she needed. It was very like hello

1:14:22

your honor kind of vibe. They were all

1:14:24

so scared of her. Exactly. Yeah.

1:14:27

Who's the dance mom? Should I know? I've

1:14:30

never seen a clip of dance moms like

1:14:32

you've seen her she's sort of the

1:14:34

very intense dance teacher

1:14:37

I think. Yeah. She's the

1:14:39

main lady and she's super mean to like

1:14:41

nine year old girls in very tight buns.

1:14:45

There's an intensity to it where like I

1:14:47

watched a couple episodes and I'm like I

1:14:50

either love this or something is very

1:14:52

wrong. Right. Like it's because

1:14:54

it's not healthy. Yeah. It's

1:14:56

kind of like you know come on girls show

1:14:58

biz but it's like they're in Georgia or something.

1:15:01

Right and they're so young. It's like oh gosh.

1:15:03

Yeah. It's not right. What

1:15:05

have I seen? I saw some Golden

1:15:07

Bachelors. Oh. That's where Bachelorette

1:15:09

ladies the other night. Really? At

1:15:12

Dinglemalls? You just have watched enough to where you recognize.

1:15:15

Oh come on. No they're like the stars

1:15:17

of this season. The Golden Bacheloretes. It's like that because

1:15:19

this is the first season where they're they're ladies

1:15:22

that are a bit older. Yeah.

1:15:24

And yeah they were great.

1:15:26

They were so funny. I loved the lady that

1:15:28

on the first episode was like I shouldn't be

1:15:31

here. That was like classic.

1:15:33

Really? Susan? I can't

1:15:35

remember. She was there. I met her.

1:15:37

Really? That

1:15:40

woman? What did she mean by that? She made a sex

1:15:42

joke. Oh that's great. And this is such a good joke.

1:15:45

She she's like yeah and then on the finale

1:15:47

she's like my son was very mad. I made the six inches

1:15:50

joke and if I had known he'd be mad I would have

1:15:52

never said that. I would have said eight inches. Oh I had

1:15:54

a great joke. I was like hey man that's a great joke.

1:15:56

That's a great joke. That's a structurally part. And

1:16:00

you actually talked to these ladies? Oh

1:16:02

yeah, we were, yeah, like pre-Jingle Ball talking

1:16:04

to them and my boyfriend and I were

1:16:06

like, we don't even need to see the

1:16:08

show. That was the show. That was such

1:16:10

a good show. That's great. That's really good.

1:16:12

Yeah, awesome. You know, I used to work

1:16:14

at the Butcher's Daughter in New York, so

1:16:16

I actually saw a lot, I would say

1:16:18

I saw more celebrities there than I

1:16:20

did. Sure. Yeah, but anyone

1:16:22

could like... I saw Leonardo DiCaprio there,

1:16:25

I waited on Taylor Swift there, Carter

1:16:27

Toss, and Taylor Swift, yeah. Yeah,

1:16:29

Taylor Swift is about as, I mean... Big as

1:16:31

it gets. I assume that she's

1:16:33

never even in public. Exactly, that's

1:16:35

why I think, yeah, it was so... Did she sneak

1:16:37

in a back door? She didn't. It was close to

1:16:39

closing time and I remember I was working at Double,

1:16:41

so it was kind of helpful because I was so

1:16:44

tired, I was just like, what are you on? I

1:16:46

was like... Yeah,

1:16:49

and it was pretty empty by the

1:16:51

time she got there and then by

1:16:54

the time she left, people were starting to realize and then

1:16:56

she just kind of snuck out a little early. That's great. Yeah.

1:17:00

Do you think they planned it that way? That

1:17:02

they came late, you mean? Yeah, or

1:17:04

like, yeah, they could tell no one was in

1:17:06

there or anything. You know, maybe. Maybe.

1:17:08

Carter Toss used to come in all the time, so

1:17:10

I wonder if she kind of knew the patterns of

1:17:13

the place and told her whatnot, but yeah. I'll

1:17:15

never forget being in a coffee

1:17:19

shop in Venice Beach near where I used

1:17:21

to live and... You

1:17:24

were a West Sideboy. I was for years. You're

1:17:26

a East Sideboy and I love it. Yeah, you

1:17:28

got the zipper patch coming. Of course you're a

1:17:30

West Sideboy. I've been hardened by the kitty. Yeah,

1:17:33

by the kitty. Yeah. No,

1:17:35

that soft C-boy that I used to

1:17:37

be no longer. But

1:17:39

a girl's voice, I

1:17:42

thought it was someone doing a

1:17:44

Paris Hilton impersonation that was like,

1:17:46

that shirt is hot. She said

1:17:48

that to me and I'm like, oh, come on, don't. But

1:17:52

it was actually her. No way. And she

1:17:54

just was complimenting my thrasher

1:17:56

shirt. Just randomly? Yeah, and she was

1:17:58

just in a coffee shop. with

1:18:01

some other large men like bodyguards,

1:18:03

but I didn't know

1:18:05

it was really her, just because

1:18:08

it's just a normal person. It's

1:18:10

a wild way to live. I guess it's just got to be have

1:18:13

bodyguards around you at all times. And

1:18:15

this was years ago when

1:18:18

probably people were hard for her to

1:18:20

walk around. But she said my shirt

1:18:22

was hot. I thought that was pretty

1:18:24

nice. It makes me like her. Yeah.

1:18:28

What if I was a weirdo, you want to get

1:18:30

your phone number? I might be that

1:18:32

person. She was putting herself in. It sounds like you might

1:18:34

be that person. I did ask. Yeah, I did. I

1:18:37

used that voice. I said, did I get you to vote in them? And now

1:18:39

she has eight bodyguards. Yeah. Yeah.

1:18:41

And you're on like a weird little

1:18:43

playing card. Yeah. It's on

1:18:45

her security guard thing. Yeah. They

1:18:48

have a whole deck of cards like for Desert

1:18:50

Storm of Stalkers. I

1:18:55

don't know if I turned down the right

1:18:57

street, but it felt right. I'll tell you

1:18:59

what, you're close, but no, it's up on

1:19:01

more. Yeah.

1:19:06

A few more if I'm correct. I think you

1:19:08

slipped across the main road. I

1:19:10

might even suggest that you drive

1:19:14

you all the way home. Yeah. I

1:19:17

would say back up here. There's a

1:19:19

car coming. I

1:19:22

think I can flip it around. Once

1:19:24

we know what the star is doing. I think

1:19:26

you can flip around. I'm so excited to

1:19:28

use your bathroom. Yeah. Come on

1:19:30

in. Can

1:19:34

you talk about the movie that you were in? Oh

1:19:36

yeah. Coming together. It

1:19:39

was about the, it takes place in a

1:19:41

pandemic and it is

1:19:43

about a girl who's super liberal

1:19:45

and start talking up with a guy and then

1:19:47

finds out that he voted for Trump. Oh, yeah. And

1:19:50

he's played by Sean Fire. He's great. Made

1:19:53

a lot of fun. And

1:19:56

yeah, Eric Bork directed it and wrote it. And

1:19:59

I think comes out. Later this year.

1:20:01

And then you stay straight here. And

1:20:03

who is the MAGA guy? His

1:20:06

name's Sean Klier. Oh, okay.

1:20:08

Yeah, Sean Klier. And he's like, couldn't

1:20:10

be sweeter and couldn't be more liberal.

1:20:12

So it was very cool to watch

1:20:14

him transform. Because I

1:20:16

was like, yeah, I buy it. But

1:20:18

I know that you are, yeah, the

1:20:21

opposite of this. Yeah. But

1:20:23

it was trippy being back in like

1:20:25

COVID, Trump. 2020 times. Yeah.

1:20:29

Do they go all the way this? Are

1:20:31

there actors wearing masks and everything? Sort of.

1:20:33

But it was like a super, it was a

1:20:35

sad waiver project. So it was kind of great

1:20:37

because it was just like four. It was really

1:20:39

a small cat. So

1:20:42

me and my roommate in it, Don

1:20:44

Burgess, we don't wear masks because we're roommates.

1:20:47

And then Sean's character wears a mask

1:20:49

like the first time we meet each other, but then no more. Yeah,

1:20:51

yeah. That would be the hard thing.

1:20:54

It's like track. Because there are shows that

1:20:57

do it, even the morning shows, like still,

1:21:00

or maybe I'm watching it late, but I don't think

1:21:02

so. No, yeah. There's, they

1:21:04

just kind of imagine everyone was wearing masks.

1:21:06

Totally. Yeah. Because no one wants to see

1:21:08

it. That's one of those, no one even

1:21:10

wants to hear about it. All the jokes

1:21:12

that I wrote for

1:21:14

my act, I absolutely burned

1:21:17

through them quickly. I know. And

1:21:19

I understand why, but yeah, no worries.

1:21:21

I can't even believe I'm talking about

1:21:23

it now. I know. People are shutting

1:21:25

off the podcast. No, no, no. It

1:21:29

didn't happen. We are not traumatized.

1:21:33

Do you want to plug anything else? No.

1:21:36

No, I got. Watch my

1:21:38
