2:00

Do you need

2:02

a ride, do

2:04

you need a ride?

2:19

With Karen and Chris. Welcome

2:24

to Do You Need a Ride. This is

2:26

Chris Fairbanks. Yes, and this is Karen Tilgaris.

2:30

I appreciate you pausing before your name,

2:32

just to make it sound like I

2:34

didn't do a weird pause before. Matchy,

2:37

matchy, this is how we do it.

2:39

Matchy, matchy. We are both wearing the

2:41

same shirt and same little Donald Duck

2:45

C-hat. That

2:49

is true. We could lie and say

2:51

anything to these people about what we're

2:53

wearing, what we're looking

2:55

at. They have to trust

2:57

us. No, we've been lying is what

3:00

Karen meant to say. We dress the

3:02

same every episode and just don't talk

3:04

about how I am pantsless

3:06

with a sailor suit. I

3:08

have a Donald Duck hat with a baby

3:10

blue sash. And

3:12

Karen wears the same. I feel compelled

3:15

to show support because

3:18

Chris gets a lot of hate. Yeah,

3:20

I'm really going out

3:22

on a limb, especially with the no

3:24

pants choice. But if Donald

3:26

Duck can do it, I've always said. You've

3:29

always said. If a fictional

3:31

duck from the 30s can do it, why can't

3:33

I? Donald, you're

3:35

a veteran of the

3:37

Navy. Put on some pants. I've changed

3:39

my mind. I just realized how ridiculous

3:42

it is. What kind of a message

3:44

is that? What level do you think

3:46

he got to in the Navy? Do you think he was

3:48

like a, you know, like I was going to say Colonel, but

3:50

I don't think that's a boat senior

3:52

staff member. Right.

3:54

I just think he. Captain?

3:57

Kind of a yes, man. A grunt. That

4:00

was wanting to express himself. He

4:02

was like the read our Oh

4:04

Riley. Just. Having to kind

4:06

of more serve then lead. Yeah,

4:08

it's funny because. I'm trying really

4:10

hard to figure out. I don't think

4:13

I know anything about Donald Duck's personality.

4:15

Oh, he gets tested it very easily.

4:18

I. I do related all

4:20

that you can't understand assassin. Already some

4:22

right Amber his rant about a speech impediment.

4:24

He's very saturated that a speech impediment

4:26

and then list who makes his life?

4:29

hell does. It's very hard right now,

4:31

that's and Disney thing. But then there's.

4:33

The Warner Brothers gangs much easier

4:35

to talk about, right? Porky

4:38

Pig or Bugs Bunny? I know

4:40

them better. It's very strange that

4:43

I don't know anything about Donald

4:45

Duck. I'm really trying hard. You.

4:47

Mean, like just digging up any of

4:50

his, ah, the canon information about Donald

4:52

is. Yeah, his friends and family at

4:54

that. No single story line, but I

4:56

have this outfit. Yeah, you

4:58

have sooner than risk because every morning

5:00

I weigh it out like a sad

5:03

person and I bet his decisions. daisy.

5:05

Oh. Yes, Daisy. Dukes.

5:08

Sorry. Zoc. Done

5:10

says yeah this is due to

5:12

set the type of denim shorts.

5:14

That what you to sit there

5:16

is he do sorry. Daisy.

5:19

Dad is the only time you've ever

5:21

sounded like a skateboarder to me and

5:23

not. Was. So skateboarder he of

5:25

the of the ways aid and

5:27

dupe sorry sorry Daisy.duct but A's

5:29

a skateboarder from of eighties movie

5:32

see where they skateboarders I only

5:34

stopped skating to spread rat on

5:36

a wall or talk of the

5:39

hook Disney carts senses esa yaps

5:41

cause they're always some level of

5:43

hi. Yes, do. You

5:45

think Donald, Mike, Baird lane

5:47

against the ramp? It's. One

5:50

of a mass drags. They both have a

5:53

you know they do know research, know. Little.

5:56

Hat. And by day I mean

5:58

wardrobe. They they can't even. The

6:00

is a step further so they can't hang around

6:02

long enough to look anything up. It's.

6:04

Funny because I brought myself to

6:07

watch blaming the Cube, The only

6:09

mainstream. Blockbuster. Because

6:12

it had Christian Slater and at that

6:14

was about skateboarding, had skateboarders and as

6:16

Tony Hawk was a net. Ah,

6:20

And it holds up. It's a

6:22

good action movie. I done is

6:24

caught up in the stories he

6:26

he was he hadn't adopted brother

6:28

they charge and it would said.

6:30

That black. Or asian mafia situation

6:32

and they went be than the

6:34

that it was. I say they

6:37

it's all I forgot about that

6:39

as as waiting for that sweet

6:41

sweet skate footage. Sky ask how

6:43

does a skateboarder to i assume

6:45

is a high schooler who who

6:47

get. Caught. Up in the he's

6:49

in mafia. Or not. See

6:52

Fancied a girl at school

6:54

and started dating like a

6:56

crappy. It's like this the

6:58

British it is disinvestment. This

7:00

is depicted since the since

7:02

since t fancy the last

7:04

is yes yes And to

7:06

impress her he quit skating

7:08

and had his hair. And

7:11

then. You know was that

7:13

he hired a don't remember just. For.

7:16

Real think he was going to church.

7:18

Hello. Yes, Very, very strict family any

7:20

words, but. He liked her

7:22

but he also was trying to figure

7:25

out why his says step brother was

7:27

murdered. Oh they were dating

7:29

so she kind of was started taking

7:31

me. I'm just now realizing it's coming

7:33

to me he started dating is is

7:36

that the deceased brother's girlfriend to get

7:38

closer figure out. Why? He got

7:40

murdered and boy does he find out. Does.

7:43

He yes he gets all the when

7:45

they're and and what was. It drugs

7:47

and drugs were involved Ball saw a

7:49

video was involved I only know because

7:51

every time I draw but as a

7:54

drive by the ball south exit. Exam.

7:58

Bolsa. videos or I think I'm pronouncing

8:00

it like it was in the movie. Can

8:02

you spell it? B-O-L-S-A. Oh,

8:07

Bolsa? Okay, okay. I've

8:10

never heard of it. It's just, it's one

8:12

of those many, like when I drive by

8:14

Delaun Prey Street, I think of Delaun Prey

8:16

Danon from Mr. Ocho. There's just

8:18

certain words that you see

8:21

were grabbed from a sign as a

8:23

screenwriter was driving. Absolutely, all around this

8:25

town, for sure. And

8:28

anyway, it ends, of

8:30

course, with a man, kidnapping the girl,

8:32

he has a gun, and of course,

8:34

Kristen Slater goes under a

8:36

semi. Doesn't Ollie? Oh, he

8:38

does, he Ollie, he grabs front side,

8:41

and then they have another shot where

8:43

he's suddenly grabbing backside. Uh-oh. Into the

8:45

air and knocks the gun

8:47

out of the man's hand. It

8:49

was laughable back then, but still,

8:52

it's enjoyable. Could you switch from front side

8:54

to back side like that in the air? I

8:56

mean, it's not likely, maybe

8:58

on a snowboard. You can't let go of

9:01

the board, and then with the other

9:03

hand, I suppose people do

9:05

it. People do it with bikes. They

9:07

do, you're right. I've watched so

9:10

much trick bike footage, because that

9:12

was one of the main things

9:14

that Pete shot for your

9:16

TV channel. Oh, more BMX and

9:18

skateboarding, yeah. Oh my God.

9:22

Just exhausting footage, yes.

9:25

Just like these children get

9:27

paid to travel the world and ride

9:29

their fucking bike. I know, and they

9:32

do. So jealous. But there is,

9:34

keep it rest easy knowing

9:36

there's no retirement plan. Oh, well, you have to

9:38

start your own 401k and get real

9:41

smart about that. Yep. Some guys do it,

9:43

other guys don't. Other guys don't, and

9:46

the, oh, look at the

9:48

beignet truck. Oh, look

9:51

at that. Hey, how's

9:53

your new sweet tooth feel? Oh.

9:55

Do you care about beignets? I think it's locked,

9:57

but we could try and open it. There's me.

10:00

on the other side. Oh, it's a food

10:02

truck. I thought it was a delivery vehicle.

10:05

I mean, it seems

10:07

like a powdered, what

10:10

is a beignet? It is exactly what

10:12

you're thinking. It's almost like

10:14

a croissant with less bowls, and

10:17

it's like a square, and they put

10:19

so much powdered sugar on it. Is

10:21

it like phyllo dough? It is more,

10:23

it's more

10:26

doughnutty. Oh, I think I've

10:28

had one. Is there nuts in it?

10:31

There's definitely powdered sugar as per the

10:33

photo. Yeah, I think you're thinking of

10:35

the Mediterranean dessert.

10:37

Yes. The baklava. I love

10:40

baklava. This is more of

10:42

like basically a French doughnut. So there's, I

10:45

guess the reason I said croissant is because it's real

10:48

hairy and fluffy. Right. But

10:50

it's like a light, it's croissant doughnut. Maybe

10:52

on the way back. I will be starving. I

10:55

mean, we could also just

10:57

get coffee and go to a place where we can get

10:59

all those things and more. Oh yeah, this is our

11:01

solo episode. Yeah, we can fill it up with

11:03

all kinds of stuff in there. That's why I

11:05

got excited about the beignet drop. In the

11:07

back of my head, I was a little

11:09

worried about my brain because I couldn't remember

11:12

who stood today's guest floor. It's

11:14

me. Well, thank you

11:16

for having, thank you for coming and

11:19

for having me. Yes, that's how it

11:21

works. I drove back from Big Bear

11:24

today and

11:27

there was a person tailgating

11:29

me down that windy road. Now people that

11:31

live up in the mountains, they

11:33

are tired of going up and down

11:35

that windy road. And they don't have

11:37

time for someone unfamiliar with the turns

11:40

to go cautiously. Honking,

11:43

there was a truck in front of me too.

11:45

There was nowhere for me to go. Laying on

11:47

the horn. And

11:49

I looked back and it was a

11:52

little old lady with gray hair flipping

11:54

me off while laying on

11:57

the horn. What did she want

11:59

you to do? I

12:02

know I knew what she didn't want me to

12:04

do and that is basically slam on the brakes

12:07

Which you did it. I'm afraid I did. I'm

12:09

not proud of it I came to

12:11

almost a complete stop and then I'd go

12:13

a little further. She'd land the horn more I

12:15

would come to a stop again. I If

12:19

she did hit my car, she would be in the

12:21

wrong. I also wanted to make

12:23

her know I'm not proud of this behavior I'm

12:25

just saying it. I think that

12:27

our fans support my Unhinged

12:30

dad and She you

12:32

think then I started flipping her off. This

12:34

is a little old lady with gray hair,

12:36

by the way But then

12:39

I thought what if she's in a rush she?

12:43

It has to go to the hospital. She feels

12:45

palpitation. She I pulled over finally

12:47

She flipped me off again as did the

12:49

little lady in the master seat and then

12:51

they proceeded to honk at the person And

12:53

that was in front of me. They were

12:55

just Unhinged I

12:59

mean you're on her side. No,

13:01

no, I can tell you're on her side Well,

13:03

I like to devil's advocate because you start

13:05

stories like that in the middle and then

13:07

I'm like, what was the inciting?

13:10

It's good storytelling. It's like Christopher Nolan I

13:21

start going faster and then I'm like, this is

13:23

getting dangerous. I can't go as fast This

13:25

person wants me to go. That's when

13:28

I saw so little lady flipping me

13:30

truly out of the blue Well, and

13:33

I'm like, maybe she doesn't see that I'm

13:35

tailgating a truck in front of me windy

13:37

Road There is rocks. There's patches of ice.

13:39

We're up in the mountains it

13:42

was There are two

13:44

types of people that moves to these

13:46

mountain communities those who? Enjoy

13:49

nature I suppose or want to

13:51

be skiers and those who

13:53

are unhinged and can't deal with society

13:55

Yeah, and are or

13:57

have murdered and they're like I gotta get it

14:00

They're doing a hideout. I keep killing people in

14:02

the city. Yeah. I don't

14:04

know which, but this didn't seem like

14:06

an outdoorsy lady. Double

14:09

grandma murders. It could have absolutely

14:12

been a serial killing team

14:14

of a cop. They were the golden

14:16

girls of Golden State Killers. They were,

14:18

I don't know. I

14:21

have so many questions, but I let them go. I

14:24

decided not to follow them more during my

14:26

voting. I keep trying to teach them a

14:28

lesson by getting them to re-rent you. Now,

14:30

I know you and I both have started

14:32

following people that have upset us on the

14:34

road, and then we're like, what are

14:36

we doing? What are we gonna do when we catch

14:39

up to this person? I've never done that. I know.

14:41

You've told me how you've waited

14:44

outside the homes. And

14:46

I'm like, is your secret safe with me?

14:48

I've said. And then I've shared

14:50

with you how I've done the same. Just

14:54

like our Donald Doug outfits. Same

14:56

thing. Yes, yes. I

14:59

thought that maybe I had something on the roof of my

15:01

car. I thought maybe she

15:03

was warning me. Yeah, that's

15:05

what I was thinking. Like, there's gotta be

15:07

a reason. She was just really angry.

15:09

She was serious. Could she have

15:12

been also snowboarding that day and maybe

15:14

you cut her off at the old ski

15:16

lift or something? I thought of it. I

15:18

thought maybe. I thought I

15:21

couldn't figure it out. And the

15:23

cars behind her also were

15:25

mad at me. And they were going

15:27

so fast. I

15:29

was driving like

15:32

a normal person, certainly above the speed limit,

15:34

but downhill a mountain road I'm not gonna

15:37

push the pedal for the metal. So you can't if there's

15:39

a trick in front of you. You can only go. Thank

15:42

you. Thank you. I'm on your

15:44

side. And everything I've described is

15:47

I'm not bending any detail. Okay.

15:49

Yes. It was a

15:51

bizarre behavior. And

15:53

I have a fear of getting, you know,

15:55

tailgated and especially by

15:58

a senior. What

16:00

an embarrassing story. No one's gonna be on your side

16:04

Someone's grandma shot me in the face

16:07

Because I would not accelerate what

16:09

well, I love my grandma. They're

16:11

gonna immediately take the grandma side the

16:13

girl Everybody's on a grandma

16:15

side. Yeah, that's why I was trying to

16:17

question you because I was like, did

16:20

you do something to the grandma first? But

16:23

it doesn't sound like it. No, no,

16:25

I thank you. It was bizarre

16:28

behavior crazy

16:32

Because. I follow him on twitter. On.

19:15

But. I always check in and mike how's

19:17

this person during our know why I'm I'm

19:19

not going to ever say. Why?

19:22

Did you not? You. Know. We.

19:25

Had to be interrogated by the insurance

19:27

and all these things cause. All.

19:30

He did is not answer the phone and then they're

19:32

like well we're going to go after you then. No.

19:34

One hears that story though they do both

19:37

sides. I found out

19:39

yesterday he died. And Twenty twenty.

19:45

And. sorry is this a bad story

19:47

the rules are you in i don't

19:49

you know other is i'm bringing about

19:51

it i wanna know why i wanna

19:53

know how i went to his appreciation

19:56

page i'm like oh there's no clues

19:58

in the comments and like What is

20:00

it? Was it COVID? Was he

20:02

in a car wreck? What? Yeah,

20:05

what if he was in another car wreck?

20:07

The only clue I saw was someone put,

20:09

be careful who your friends are. No

20:11

one's talking about it. Be careful who your

20:13

friends are, plus no one mentioning anything had

20:15

to be a drug overdose. Yeah, I was

20:17

just gonna say the same thing. See, that's

20:20

why I brought it up. Now it's a

20:22

fun conversation. Well, fun is generous. That is

20:24

generous. But I feel bad. What if

20:26

it all started the drugs and everything? Because the

20:28

insurance came after him and he had to pay

20:30

that money. And then, you

20:32

know, all the fitness career and everything

20:35

he's into went by the wayside. Yeah,

20:37

that's- Barbiturates took over. That's

20:39

why the saying is don't do drugs. That's

20:42

the whole thing about it, is there is actually, the

20:44

reason I say it is not just to be a

20:47

bummer, but it's because it sucks

20:49

your life up. I just

20:51

wanted to bring it up, because we were talking

20:54

before about how people that have wronged me have

20:56

perished in the past. And do I have a

20:58

special, and it happened once again. That's all I'm

21:00

bringing up. Those are

21:02

the kind of things that were floating in the

21:04

air you felt like and needed to get a

21:06

drug. I feel bad, you know. I feel guilty,

21:08

what have I had something to do with this?

21:11

Anyway, it's a fun, lighthearted- Borderline

21:15

suicide and or overdose. Right,

21:17

right. Yeah, it's a mystery. I

21:20

like solving things. Yeah, let

21:22

us know. Definitely. That

21:24

would be a cliffhanger. periodic updates with

21:26

little theme music. Yeah, any kind of

21:28

a death you might want to talk about.

21:30

Bring it up. Sure, make light

21:32

of it. Bring it up. And

21:34

the nervousness will cause the jokes

21:37

to double when talking about the

21:39

sensitive stuff. That's right. I'm over

21:41

here just waiting with bated breath. What kind

21:43

of news are you gonna break? The best

21:45

or the worst? By bated breath, do

21:47

you mean, like when people

21:49

go fishing with a sardine? You

21:52

like that breath? No, I

21:54

just thought sardine has no

21:56

opportunity. Bated breath. Are

21:58

we drunk? Yeah. Where is

22:00

it? This

22:02

has a real day drinking. Oh my

22:05

God. It says, yeah, this is date,

22:07

a year and one day. Oh my

22:09

God. Yeah. Of

22:12

no drinking in my life. Congratulations, Chris Fairbanks.

22:14

Thank you. That's a huge accomplishment. That's why

22:16

I brought it up and to distract us

22:19

from the previous topic, which

22:21

was questionable. Then I won't

22:24

say the thing I was about to say, which

22:26

was in praise of day drinking. Let's

22:30

fall off the wagon. I

22:32

just, as an alcoholic

22:34

myself, and the

22:37

things that I love about drinking, they're

22:39

all kind of like

22:41

false memories essentially. Yeah. Cause

22:44

when you tell yourself, I wish I

22:46

was doing this again or I should be doing this

22:48

again, it's

22:50

actually just a kind

22:52

of like reflection of a time where

22:55

you were younger, hotter, more

22:57

popular. Right. Whatever

22:59

the case might be. And

23:01

you're basically going, oh, it was still

23:04

like that. Yeah. And so,

23:06

but I find myself always putting that

23:08

on like, God, day drinking is so

23:10

fun. Except it's four

23:13

drinks in your fuck. And you like

23:15

to sleep. Yep. And it ruins

23:17

that day. It ruins the next day. If you

23:19

think you're going to be able to do your set

23:21

that night, you're wrong. Like you're going to do it,

23:23

but it won't be good. Right. Exactly.

23:27

It never helps. And

23:29

I always, even to this day, I'm

23:31

like, Oh, I don't go to parties anymore. It was

23:33

so fun at parties. Cause I, my memory is me,

23:36

you know, dancing with a lampshade on my head

23:38

and everyone laughing. Like, why is Chris so fun?

23:41

Really? In reality that

23:43

night, I probably said the wrong thing.

23:45

Sure. Or got upset or ranted

23:47

about someone that is wrong to me or

23:50

the elderly, things that

23:52

I don't do anymore. Except

23:54

for, except for on this podcast.

23:56

Well, yes, but you know,

23:58

in, in. When

24:01

I'm not podcast as a life

24:03

practice as it that's Sometimes

24:05

I say the wrong thing because that's part of

24:08

my podcast character. Oh, that's right. But often we're

24:10

not recording, you know, I'm Very

24:13

it's almost boring. Oh my

24:15

god how accurate you always are. Yeah,

24:17

politically correct. Yes So

24:25

my story was but I think because I gave

24:27

it that Free

24:29

limb what I just said I can still

24:31

tell it without being without

24:40

Turn down the street just to get off

24:42

of Ventura right and thinking it would loop

24:44

us back I'd be able to go over

24:46

and maybe I still can Camarillo,

24:49

hell. Yeah, right.

24:51

This is a dead end. No, this is kind

24:53

of an exciting Like

24:56

road that goes along the LA

24:58

River, I believe well it comes to a complete

25:00

stop here I guess well, we'll see it'll loop

25:02

us back. Yes. Yeah, at least it's not

25:06

So I was and you

25:08

remember our good friend Zach Noah towers

25:11

Yeah, who's a guest on the show

25:13

he and I like a

25:15

weekend or two weekends ago We're

25:18

all doing stuff during the day

25:20

and then we're like, hey should we eat lunch? We were

25:22

both realized we were hungry. So

25:25

we went to this Mexican restaurant. Yes, and it

25:27

was like one o'clock And

25:30

there it was not clouded but

25:33

there was like three people sitting at the bar and

25:36

it was like the way

25:38

the light was coming in through the window and

25:41

the music and this and that I was

25:43

like I Personally inside I

25:45

was like I would fucking

25:47

kill to be sitting at that bar

25:50

day drinking today with a margarita Yeah,

25:52

I don't know why I

25:54

want margaritas. Yeah. Yeah because they mean

25:56

party they mean like fun times the

25:58

taste like someone handing

26:01

it to you like here we go.

26:03

Yeah. The margaritas have a reputation for

26:05

like it's okay, it's a margarita. Yes.

26:08

It's like oh what are you at a

26:10

bachelorette party? Are you, is it your birthday?

26:12

It must be a celebration because it's a

26:14

margarita. Yeah. So we're sitting there and then

26:17

I say it where I'm like god I've

26:19

really, really over-romanced

26:22

day drinking. And then Zach

26:25

was like oh I love day drinking.

26:27

The waiter walks up and puts two shots in

26:29

front of each of us and

26:32

goes these are for you guys. Oh

26:34

wow. And then Zach looks up and

26:36

goes do they have alcohol in them? And he

26:38

was like and then the waiter just takes them

26:40

back and walks away. It was so funny. That's

26:42

great. Zach also doesn't drink. He does not drink.

26:44

And used to. He's been sober for a long

26:47

time. Yes. Oh wow okay. Yes and it was,

26:49

it was as if that waiter

26:52

could feel the vibe that we

26:54

were definitely giving off but that

26:56

we didn't want to be. It was a subtle

26:58

double vibe. Yes. I'm

27:01

gonna go out, I'm gonna go out on

27:03

a limb here with this and I see

27:05

that that was the wrong limb. Goodbye thank

27:07

you. Goodbye. That's perfect. Never takes his fingers

27:09

off the shot glass. It was, and it

27:11

was a bright pink shot. So

27:14

like I was like what's in there? This is wonderful.

27:17

Delicious. Oh wow. What could it

27:19

be? We will never know. Yeah

27:22

that, that I

27:24

wouldn't have taken it but

27:26

it's one of those situations like what if

27:28

the timing happened

27:32

you know things happened that

27:34

day I had a certain week and then

27:36

all of a sudden someone puts

27:38

those in front of me maybe then I would.

27:40

Well but it doesn't sound like, it sounds

27:42

like you're on a track that makes

27:44

internal sense. Yes. As opposed to I

27:47

have to do this from

27:49

the external reason. Right. My reason

27:52

for stopping has built up over time.

27:54

Initially it wasn't, I'm like I need

27:56

to recover. Yes. It's just like

27:58

wait a minute this. feels good and

28:01

it's starting to feel better. What

28:03

an interesting experiment this is. And

28:06

now I'm like, well, I'd be very disappointed

28:08

in myself. Right. But

28:11

I do enjoy

28:14

buying drinks for other people

28:16

and watching them get a little sloppy,

28:18

just so I can test my ability

28:21

to act, because

28:23

I'm a lesbian deep at heart. That's

28:26

true. Act drunk also. Well,

28:28

I always notice, because

28:30

in the beginning I could not go to bars with

28:33

my friends, because I was just like, I

28:35

just want a drink and this

28:37

is torture. Right, I'm still having

28:39

trouble with it. I mean, because

28:41

bars, that's just so, it's dedicated

28:43

and specific. But then when I felt

28:46

more suitable and I would go,

28:48

I would be sitting in a booth with my

28:50

friends and three of us would be getting drunk

28:52

and two of us would not. But

28:55

I swear to God, as we would talk

28:57

and laugh and riff, I

28:59

was like, now I feel that. I thought I

29:01

was getting, my brain

29:03

was basically going, yeah, you

29:06

are kind of drunk. Right.

29:08

I mean, that's the kind of

29:10

LA driving you just can't do. Right.

29:14

The guy that needs to, you need to

29:16

go around the bus. Right. I know you

29:18

need. That's why I fucking stopped. I'm not

29:20

going to stay here forever. Go,

29:22

fool. I gave you the opening. Were you

29:25

behind me wearing a wig today at Big

29:27

Bear? I have a bird. Me

29:30

and my sister. They

29:34

do look like siblings. I

29:36

think at that age, you're only hanging out with your

29:38

sibling. Yes. Yeah. I

29:41

think. Or a mountain

29:44

housemate. As they call

29:46

them, he ends up in Big Bear. I'd

29:53

love to meet your mountain housemate if

29:56

you felt comfortable introducing me. Yes.

29:58

Yes. dressed

30:00

in the same outfit. Donald

30:03

Duck. Yeah,

30:10

I really did bring that up because I was

30:12

disappointed in my own. I should

30:14

have just pulled over like,

30:16

look, go be crazy somewhere else

30:19

and not think about it for

30:21

another second. But that's a harder

30:23

thing. It makes sense to

30:25

me that like, you're gonna do

30:27

it piece by piece. First the drinking

30:29

is gonna get sidelined, right? Then you're

30:31

gonna get real used to

30:34

more than one year and one

30:36

day. Yes. Real used to unadjusted

30:40

feelings. And

30:43

then like in fucking 11 years,

30:45

hey, we passed that Rolls

30:47

Royce on the other on the way going. Really?

30:50

Yeah. Literally almost in

30:52

the same spot. Well, I'm great. There's been a

30:54

few things like that. And I don't know that

30:56

you notice when we were going down that street

30:58

and we're like, where are we right now? A

31:01

girl with a dog was walking. And then we

31:03

went around the block and I swear it was

31:05

the same girl with a different dog walking

31:09

in the same direction from a different

31:11

time. It was a like that cat.

31:14

I'm going to tell you this in that movie

31:16

with Keanu Reeves in Los Angeles. Oh,

31:19

I don't like the phrase glitch in the matrix.

31:22

Yeah, it's but it can't be

31:24

replaced. I it just comes out of all

31:26

our fair mouths. Right. Everyone knows

31:28

what it means. Yes. And I've never said

31:30

but I will say this here

31:32

in Los Angeles, all the actresses kind of do

31:35

look alike. I

31:37

we just saw someone

31:40

and their stunt double and

31:42

a dog and a dog and they got

31:44

into an argument and they walked away with two

31:46

different dogs. Yeah, exactly. But

31:49

I was just going to tell you this thing

31:51

of getting mad at people or like

31:53

road rage, right? I have

31:55

really bad road rage and

31:57

like really like really bad.

32:00

like not letting people

32:02

in to punish them because they did

32:04

it wrong and etc. That's why this

32:06

is a good podcast. It's

32:09

the lifeblood of this project.

32:11

Yeah, but now it first.

32:14

You know when you're drunk that you're drunk, right? So

32:16

then you're like, oh, I fucked all this up. And you

32:18

can just take that element out of your life

32:21

with difficulty sometimes, but it can be

32:23

gone. You can't ever get

32:25

rid of your feelings. Yeah,

32:27

that's one thing. My reaction

32:31

with sudden anger that

32:34

I used to think was my brain

32:37

had something wrong with it. Maybe I was born with

32:39

it. That was one of the

32:41

things I realized after not

32:43

drinking for a while that because it

32:45

kind of just sits there. Yeah, because it

32:47

wasn't happening just when I was. Did

32:50

you know alcohol is something

32:52

known as a depressant? Yes,

32:54

sometimes depression acts out

32:56

as anger. Yeah, I think

32:59

I do know that. I figured it

33:01

out. It

33:03

took you a year. Mm-hmm. Is

33:09

it very famous

33:12

place to get margaritas? Oh,

33:14

Casa Vega. Yep. You

33:16

know it from what movies? Well,

33:21

something in

33:23

Hollywood. Yeah, I

33:26

feel like I know it from in the

33:29

days where they were still making the

33:31

show friends. I always

33:33

heard the friends would go there to party after work.

33:36

So there would be people like I

33:38

took my sister there one time when she

33:40

came to visit me just in case we

33:42

got to see like for Aniston in the

33:44

wild. So funny and you

33:47

might laugh in my face, but

33:49

it wasn't until right now that

33:52

I realized New

33:54

York City and Central Perk and everything was

33:56

not in New York. I thought they were

33:59

New York actors. Really? There's you

34:01

could be a cop show or a soap

34:03

opera or friends. That's

34:08

why I thought the New York acting jobs were.

34:11

But of course I know Central Perk was on a...

34:14

I even went... I saw it on a studio

34:16

lot once. I'm like, oh, there's a friend's coffee. But

34:19

in your mind, the reality of

34:21

it... Yes. I

34:23

thought they were New York actors. Well, and did

34:26

you know that Seinfeld was also in...

34:29

Like they filmed that right down here at

34:31

Radford. It's kind of. And I'm admitting

34:33

that's now also a little bit of a surprise,

34:35

even though I knew. I

34:39

knew. But yes, of course. Yeah.

34:41

Yeah. Now? Well,

34:44

I like the idea that they all hung out together.

34:47

I know. I think that's very sweet. Yes.

34:51

But I never watched that show. No,

34:54

it didn't. It didn't age well,

34:56

I feel. Yeah. For

34:59

a number of reasons. I think I just thought it was punk

35:01

rock. And I was like, I'd rather watch

35:03

a black and white scene. Yeah.

35:05

For me, I was into it. We

35:08

would have like a friend's night in Bend,

35:10

Oregon. I lived in this house with just

35:12

snowboarder dudes. And we were way

35:15

into it because it was just on

35:17

the verge of the Ross and

35:19

Rachel characters getting together. Yeah. And

35:22

something about that was like exciting

35:24

for us. Everybody loves romance. I

35:27

had a picture, and I think I've told

35:29

you this, of Jennifer Aniston on my wall,

35:32

along with a period wheeler, the Sundays. Aw.

35:35

Yeah, too little. I

35:37

was listening to the Sundays just today.

35:41

And I still think you

35:44

confront a Sundays-like band. Oh,

35:46

I would love that. And

35:49

I think you have a similar voice. And

35:52

I think you'd be the only person in the audience if

35:54

we went ahead and flired that. Oh, no. Shoe-gazy

35:58

Dream Pop is... is still,

36:01

there's a huge following. Are you sure? And

36:04

you could, you know, you could have a

36:06

modern twist. Just,

36:08

you mean like update,

36:10

send their songs, maybe put like

36:12

a DJ track behind them? If

36:14

you went like today, if the

36:17

Cocktail Twins, I put them in

36:19

the same category, had like

36:22

a concert, it would be more

36:24

packed than a Smash

36:27

Mouth show. Those

36:30

audiences stick around. You're

36:32

right. And they are ready for you

36:34

to do original new Sunday's songs. And

36:39

I know you can... And I

36:41

think about that. And Deb

36:43

and my not, was something like that? Yes,

36:45

but that everyone, that is

36:47

just Karen's podcast singing voice

36:49

to make me feel better. I'm

36:53

doing a character of a voice. That's

36:56

my character, Maureen Wheeler, Harriet

36:58

Wheeler's younger sister. Yeah, Maureen,

37:00

yeah, she's an arts and

37:02

crafts teacher. If

37:04

yeah, but would you get you in the studio

37:06

with some cans? Sorry. Pardon me,

37:09

oh boy. Sorry sir. I was not happy.

37:11

I'm sure they'll let him go. I

37:13

don't know, think about it. Think about starting a band. The

37:16

other way. I

37:20

mean, that would, it would be super fun. I

37:22

feel like... And not

37:25

comedy, just separate. Yeah,

37:27

not a comedy thing. I would not be

37:29

trying to be funny. It would be hard

37:31

to do comedy shoegaze. Yes,

37:33

it would be irritating, I think, to do

37:36

that. Yes. Well, but you know Brian Cook

37:38

does that show, where there's, he

37:41

does the cover band show. Yes, and who did

37:44

you do? I have done

37:46

on the cover band show, The Go-Go's. I

37:48

have done PJ Harvey. Which

37:51

PJ Harvey song? Oh,

37:53

we did. No, we did. No, we

37:55

did. We did it. You

38:00

went with Nick Cave, me and Rick,

38:03

Brandy's boyfriend, Rick. The real Nick Cave?

38:06

PJ Harvey did it with the real Nick Cave.

38:08

I did it with Rick, Brandy's wife. Thank

38:11

you, okay, gotcha, gotcha. And

38:14

then we did, the

38:17

song I picked that I was really

38:19

excited about was Kamikaze, which was so

38:21

fucking hard to do because

38:23

it was in six, it was

38:25

in six, eight times, I think they

38:27

said, which is like, like

38:29

my preferred jazz musician. Like

38:32

very difficult to count in, like

38:35

it goes down, down, down, down, down, starts

38:37

over in this very strange way. I can

38:39

only assume there's a setting on a record

38:42

player just for this. I

38:44

don't know what you're talking about.

38:47

I just sing karaoke in a

38:49

band. You know when they say four,

38:51

four time and that is like one, two,

38:53

three, four, one, I don't know, actually, Annelise

38:55

could probably explain this way better if she

38:57

knows anything. So four,

39:00

four, it's six, eight is actually closer to like

39:03

a waltz, it kind of feels, but it's.

39:14

Yeah, okay, and that's what it was like. It

39:16

was so hard because it's a fast, okay, anyway,

39:18

go ahead. Oh no, that

39:21

was it. Sorry, I'm having an

39:23

error. I'm having an error,

39:25

no, no, no. I was like, that's

39:27

it, that's really it, yeah. Wow. Well,

39:32

if I think, if

39:34

there's another chance, I'm

39:36

trying to get sidetracked by what I

39:38

would sing. What would you sing? I

39:40

always make it about me. I mean, I want you to

39:42

do Sundays next time. I just knew it today, it's

39:45

still so good. It's still so good. One

39:47

of the first bands we've bonded on. And

39:50

I remember it just being a, you

39:52

know, my mom would

39:55

mail in the Columbia Record

39:57

Club stamp, literally putting a

39:59

stamp. on a piece of paper. It's

40:01

such a vague memory. But

40:04

what about taping a penny? Right.

40:07

Remember that where they're like, for just a penny,

40:09

you can have all these things. And then it's

40:11

like, so you tape a penny to a postcard

40:13

and send it in. And then you're supposed to

40:15

get 20

40:18

cassette tapes or however they

40:20

promise. But of course, it

40:22

wasn't just the penny, then you had to

40:24

start paying them a subscription cassette tape. Yes,

40:27

it was something my mom fell for.

40:29

And I

40:31

kind of reap the benefits. But

40:33

I remember ordering the, it's one

40:35

of my first CDs, like, along

40:39

with like Sonic Youth and some,

40:41

you know, Chili Peppers or something I don't

40:44

listen to at all anymore. Sundays,

40:46

I randomly, I didn't

40:48

know much about it. It was in the

40:50

alternative section. And I was

40:52

immediately mesmerized. And it kind of set

40:56

the tone for all the music

40:58

I would secretly like without telling

41:00

all my skater dude friends totally

41:03

talk like this. I love the

41:05

new Sepultura. I

41:08

like it. The first time I tried to

41:11

talk to Brian Pussain about

41:13

that band, I was

41:15

like, have you ever seen Sepultura? And

41:17

he was like, Sepultura, he got so

41:19

mad. Yeah, yeah. Hilarious. I'm like, I've

41:22

only ever read it. I've never

41:24

talked to an actual fan.

41:26

Right? Yeah, it. Sepultura sounds

41:28

like somebody mispronouncing it. It

41:30

does. Sepultura. Maybe

41:33

and I was just basing that on Sepultura.

41:35

Yes, it's a very Los Angeles reaction

41:38

to Sepultura.

41:41

When I moved here, of course, because

41:43

of that band, I called it Sepultura.

41:46

Yeah. The street and then Henry, Henry

41:49

Phillips laughed in my face. And

41:51

then you did it on

41:53

stage. And then we became such good friends that I

41:55

used to sleep over at his house and

41:58

had my own futon mattress under his bed. We

42:01

would watch YouTube videos into the night.

42:05

Alcohol was a big part of it. And

42:07

it all started with

42:09

him correcting my pronunciation

42:12

of Sepulveda. Yeah,

42:14

I only knew Sepulterra because I had a

42:16

friend who, a skater

42:18

friend who listened. He had two cassette tapes and

42:20

that was one of them and I listened to

42:22

it so often that I kind of got into

42:25

it. And the other one was Chade.

42:27

Smooth Operator. No,

42:31

it was another metal band, which

42:34

I can't remember. Minor Threat. That's

42:38

hardcore. Oh. The

42:40

name of Anthrax

42:42

is Yes. Anthrax is

42:44

Yes. It's

42:48

great that you brought that up because that's a

42:50

perfect combination. I would call that hardcore new metal,

42:52

or not new metal. That's like

42:54

rapping. That's like

42:56

Biscuit. New Metal went away. Yeah,

42:58

New Metal was N.U. Metal, right?

43:01

It's Yes. Worst

43:04

case scenario. Oh, man. What

43:07

band would you want to cover for

43:10

a show like that? It's

43:13

funny because there are

43:16

some Fishbone songs that I can

43:18

very much nail. Yeah.

43:21

I think that's something that I'm interested in in a way that people

43:23

maybe don't expect until it hits a certain note, but will change

43:26

the song a little. Sure. And

43:30

there was a night where Angela Moore

43:32

was part of that show. Oh,

43:34

right. Yeah. And I was

43:36

on it, but couldn't do

43:38

it because of a road gig.

43:42

Oh. And I to

43:44

this day, well, for days to

43:46

come. I

43:48

almost wanted to tell Angela Moore when I saw

43:50

him in the Costco parking lot.

43:54

And, you know, he was

43:56

just going into a Chase Bank and I skated by

43:58

him and I'm like, I'm a big fan of

44:01

who you are. And

44:04

he just smiled and... And said,

44:06

get out of here. And has the exact same

44:08

face as he did many,

44:10

many years ago. It just looks

44:12

the same. But

44:14

I also have all these

44:17

songs that I've been singing with

44:19

that band, whether or not we do that again.

44:21

I got pretty good at some of those songs.

44:24

So I could do Dinosaur Jr.

44:26

or Descendants, but that doesn't really

44:28

say who I am. I would

44:30

rather do a Sunday song in your voice. That's

44:33

what I wanna sing. It's so funny when you're

44:36

a kid and first

44:38

listening to music, like when I'd listen to like,

44:41

orchestral maneuvers in the dark

44:43

or dirty rotten imbeciles,

44:45

whatever it was, I would imagine myself.

44:47

OMD and DRI. Yeah, OMD,

44:49

DRI, TMI. But

44:52

I kept it, you know, my friends were

44:54

listening to Poison and Bon Jovi. So I

44:57

had my fringe music a secret. Turns out

44:59

this whole time I was right. You were.

45:01

They were wrong. I kind of

45:03

feel that when like

45:05

so much of the 80s music

45:08

that I loved is still

45:10

being played, like truly the cure. The

45:13

idea that like Boys Don't Cry gets played

45:15

on, like if you're

45:17

in CVS, those are the songs

45:19

that come up where I'm like, this is strange

45:21

to me. Yeah. This was alternative music in

45:23

the 80s. You had to like hunt

45:25

around to the special FM

45:28

radio station that had it. Yeah. And

45:30

like now it's like here, this is what everyone

45:32

likes. Yeah. I

45:36

can't explain it sometimes. Like

45:38

Morrissey's popularity with Latino crowds, like there's,

45:40

it's just awesome. And I don't know

45:42

why. Cause when I listened to the

45:45

cure, people made fun of it. Cause

45:47

he had, his voice was different and

45:49

they weren't ready for it or it

45:51

was too emotional. And it's crazy lipstick.

45:54

Yeah. Yes. And,

45:57

but I would pretend to be him when I'd sing those

45:59

songs. Well, I'm

46:02

going to ask to do that show. You

46:05

shouldn't. Because it's fun to do.

46:08

It's kind of cool because drummers kind

46:10

of have no choice but to be loud.

46:13

Like, I remember somebody playing us playing like

46:15

a quiet song at something, at some time.

46:18

And my friend is a really good drummer, like,

46:20

I'm trying to be as quiet as that. Right. Our

46:23

drummer, his arms are the size of my

46:25

legs. He does not work

46:28

out as far as I know. And

46:30

sincecology has gotten more and more muscular,

46:32

so he has no choice. He

46:35

can't not be strong. He has

46:37

to shred. He has to rip

46:39

it up. Yes. Because

46:41

that's what his arms are doing on their

46:43

own. Shredding and ripping. It's pretty

46:46

cool. Yeah. To have

46:48

big, muscly arms? Yeah. I know.

46:51

And have gotten them from rhythm. Yes.

46:54

Yes. And no story. I

46:56

love muscles with no backstory. I

46:58

mean, just like, oh, it's because I work at

47:00

the junkyard? Yes. These old

47:02

abs? Welcome

47:05

back to these old abs. These

47:07

old abs. Today we're going

47:09

to talk about a garbage man. A

47:13

garbage boy, really, appears to

47:15

be 18 or 19 in my area. In

47:21

Echo Park, I've seen him multiple

47:23

times because very

47:28

handsome, very in

47:30

shape, has like

47:32

horn-rimmed glasses and a nice neat haircut.

47:34

Oh. A perfectly white

47:36

shirt with no spots on it. Okay.

47:40

Top-gen. And just car hearts. It looks like it

47:43

does not work for the city.

47:47

But it's

47:50

just a very unlikely garbage

47:52

man. Mainly because he's super

47:54

clean. Cut. And

47:57

then I've, yeah, I'm just, every time

47:59

I'm like, why is that? Young does

48:01

not seem old enough to even

48:03

have a job and I'm not

48:05

exaggerating. I'm painting the exact

48:07

picture, this kid. So

48:10

explain that. Explain those

48:13

muscles, also muscular. So wait,

48:15

he's been...you've seen him in the act of doing

48:17

the job? Yeah, he's a

48:19

garbage truck guy. He's taking

48:21

the Kansies. Well,

48:23

I'll tell you exactly what's going on there. It's

48:25

a good job with benefits. And he

48:27

has OCD. So

48:30

he cannot stop tide-pending that

48:32

shirt. Because he's handling

48:34

garbage left, right, and center. You know what

48:36

I was thinking, maybe, is

48:38

the smell, which would bother most of us,

48:42

is the reason I don't do the job, the

48:44

only reason. That's the only reason. Yes, fluids, everything

48:46

that's in there. We don't even want to talk

48:49

about it. Dipers, I could go on and on.

48:51

Yeah, you don't need to name items of garbage.

48:53

A vomit. A

48:56

bag of snot. A

48:58

sanitary napkin. Youth, and old, and

49:00

new. Where

49:02

does a bag of snot come from? Just tell me

49:04

really quick. Who did

49:06

that, and how? You

49:08

hang it up to keep bugs away during a

49:10

picnic. So this kid...

49:13

Who filled it? How do you fill it? How

49:15

long did it take to fill? Old

49:18

man, old man, old man, old man.

49:20

The neighbor keeps the bugs away. But

49:24

I was thinking maybe this kid had

49:26

COVID and still hasn't got a sense

49:28

of smell back. And he's like,

49:30

might as well take advantage of it, because he

49:32

does not even wince. I've

49:34

seen him deal with unspeakable things. I

49:37

know it seems like I'm spying on this kid.

49:39

You absolutely are obsessed. I always drive down the

49:41

road and he's working. The garbage cans

49:44

are in the streets. They're not in the alleys. I'm

49:46

not lurking in my alley. I

49:48

know that's what you're thinking. Well... He's

49:50

out in the open. He gets out of the

49:52

truck a lot because he cares about his job.

49:55

He's making sure everything's secure. He's doing

49:57

a lot. You know how you see a lot

49:59

of garbage? folks

50:03

that really rely on the

50:05

mechanical arms and they just

50:07

shake it. There's like a

50:09

Kleenex or something and it won't

50:11

come loose and they're just jiggling it and

50:13

the can is cracking. Why not go back

50:15

to the bag of snot? You

50:19

know. Have that jiggle around.

50:23

I knew it and I let it pass

50:25

by. I knew it was a perfect snot

50:27

bag call back situation. When

50:30

you have the opportunity to do a

50:32

snot bag call back and you're not going to do

50:34

it. If it's so obvious,

50:36

you know I'm going to go single Kleenex.

50:41

But yeah, a lot of these guys

50:43

are just shaking. Like you'll see trash

50:46

bins sometimes just shattered to pieces because

50:49

someone doesn't want to get out of the

50:51

truck and to make an adjustment. Right. And

50:54

I'm not pointing fingers here.

50:56

Although I find that in

50:59

memory of seeing garbage men in New

51:01

York City, they're always out of the truck. LA,

51:04

it's so LA of LA garbage men to be

51:06

like we can handle this from inside the truck

51:08

which I believe they can. Right. I've

51:10

never seen my garbage man

51:13

out of the truck. Yeah, no one walks

51:15

in LA. Yeah. Yeah, just

51:17

stay in the car. Not this

51:19

kid. No. He's out

51:21

about, here's the other thing. He might not

51:23

be a garbage man. He might love garbage

51:26

and he's just hanging out. And they let

51:28

him drive the truck? Oh, you've seen

51:30

him driving? Oh God, he's

51:32

getting out. He's focused. He's like... He's

51:36

the only... He looks like Connor McNutt. Do

51:38

you know... What's that? He's a comic

51:41

that is also surprisingly

51:43

muscly and he's a skater comic

51:46

that moves to New York and

51:48

just came back. He's

51:50

a funny howl of mine. This

51:52

guy looks like him. Connor, if you're listening,

51:55

you got a trash man doppelganger. And

51:58

it's one of those things... where it's

52:00

like when you see a young, who

52:02

was that famous kid that was a

52:04

bodybuilder, Mr. Universe? Oh,

52:06

yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger. And

52:09

then he was

52:11

a tiny boy in the 90s that

52:13

was like the strongest boy. Aw,

52:16

Scott Baio? It was after

52:18

Baio. The

52:20

strongest boy. Little Mr. Universe

52:22

or something. He

52:25

was like, and his dad was like, he

52:28

was like, go to the gym every

52:30

day. And then later he became a

52:32

normal boy and quit working out. Pinocchio.

52:34

He, his dad molded him to

52:36

be muscular. Right.

52:41

And then he stopped lying and got soft. So

52:45

he was kind of like, I

52:48

see what you mean. Like it was on

52:50

a bunch of human interest, like real

52:52

people type stories of like, this next child

52:55

is loves weightlifting. And then it turned out

52:57

he was being forced every day. And you

52:59

could tell he was, but that wasn't

53:01

the story. No, of course not. It

53:03

was like, look how muscular he is

53:05

for a kid. That's this garbage boy

53:08

from my neighborhood. He's grown up to

53:10

be a garbage man. It doesn't fit

53:12

his age or face that he's this

53:15

strong. Since you're already stalking him,

53:17

why not take a picture next time?

53:19

He's out in the streets and okay,

53:21

I'll show you the already existing photos

53:23

on my phone. I just want

53:25

you to know I'm not in an alley. This

53:29

is from your roof. Mm-hmm. Laying.

53:31

Yes. Flat down. On

53:34

a blanket like a sniper. With a

53:36

telephoto lens. Yes. Great. I've

53:39

got Michael Fassbender. In

53:42

that movie. Where

53:44

he's a sniper. He's sniped. Yeah, he's a

53:46

sniper. A killer. I think it's

53:49

called killer. Oh, I tried

53:51

to watch that. Except I'm just trying to

53:53

take killer photos of

53:55

the garbage boy. I

53:58

got my tripod, my blanket. Oh,

54:00

so you like him young. I didn't know.

54:03

I'm I did this is

54:05

I just am surprised I

54:09

am there I've no ill will

54:11

or ulterior modems. Mm-hmm. It's

54:14

just the most interesting garbage ran of

54:16

everything Could

54:19

it be just purely his youth Making

54:21

his shirt look so clean and really you're

54:23

just kind of like oh the beauty of

54:25

youth every time I've seen him I'm

54:28

like well, how is that shirt so

54:30

white? Why is

54:32

it? Everything

54:35

about him is clean and proper and he's like

54:37

and he does it on purpose because he's like

54:41

This is a dirty job, but I'm gonna do

54:43

it in a you know

54:45

in a clean way in a clean mr.

54:47

Clean way Yeah, he's basically dressed like mr.

54:49

Clean Except

54:52

I've yet to see him in white pants,

54:54

but I yeah, and is he muscular like

54:56

mr. Clean? Yes Okay,

54:58

but he's young he's seen now

55:00

you're starting to see the pictures.

55:02

57:35

that stricken from the record

57:38

it just doesn't it's a

57:41

very unlikely yeah yeah I

57:43

think I've told you about my my garbage man

57:45

who I like

57:47

to get up in the morning and walk my dog looking

57:50

about as disheveled as

57:52

I possibly can like truly

57:54

insane hair often unwashed never

57:58

put anything on my face crazy

58:00

glasses, whatever. Dirty clothes.

58:04

Full of nine yards. And there's

58:07

a big garbage

58:09

man that I've seen on my street will

58:12

give me a like hidey-ho tip

58:14

of the hat. And it's

58:16

so thrilling where it's like truly at

58:18

this, this like crusty-eyed

58:21

moment in my life, you're going to be like, hey

58:24

girl, I see you. It's like that's like your

58:26

time in Italy. It really

58:28

is. It really is. Yeah.

58:30

It makes me want to kind of go out and be in the

58:33

streets when the garbage comes. Yeah, it's funny because every

58:37

time I've said garbage man, I feel

58:39

like I'm saying out of date. I'm

58:43

like I've said it with hesitation. Like garbage tech

58:45

is what we're supposed to say. Yeah, I know

58:47

that we're being inappropriate. But

58:50

I feel like... But garbage boy. That's

58:53

not... That's nothing yet. No, that

58:55

hasn't started. No. But

58:57

it's already illegal. Yes. Garbage

58:59

boy exposed in certain

59:02

places. There are laws

59:04

against it. What is that woman doing?

59:06

Ma'am! Just

59:09

being cautious. Did you see that? Just

59:11

being cautious by staying in the intersection?

59:13

Yep. Yep. Good.

59:15

Low or low? Oh, it's the design

59:17

of that part. It's always because of

59:20

this parking lot. So

59:22

definitely come to a full stop and

59:24

just hang out. I'm sorry, but that parking

59:26

lot has so much blood on its hands.

59:28

I mean that parking lot is insane. It's

59:30

a terrible design. Yeah, it's not good.

59:32

There's a few of them like that. I've

59:35

seen a couple. We

59:40

just turned to two dads

59:43

in their front yard. Jack Lemmon and

59:45

Walter Mothau wrapping up this podcast. Yeah.

59:48

59:50

59:52

true. Yeah. You know what? It's

59:55

springtime. It is springtime. It is.

59:57

It's getting warmer and nicer by

59:59

the day. It's funny because

1:00:01

I yeah, I went to Big Bear and

1:00:03

I brought my snowboarding

1:00:06

clothes which are warm and

1:00:09

It I don't know how it works, but there

1:00:12

is snow up there. I think if they make

1:00:14

it spray it on the Some

1:00:17

of the natural snow, but it is fully winter

1:00:19

up there, but also 55

1:00:21

degrees like I was sweating It

1:00:24

it oh, yeah, they do it global

1:00:26

1:00:29

teaser Chris

Fairbanks has designed a new shirt and it

is based on suggestions that you all made

1:01:57

to us on social media But he sent

1:01:59

a up a little pole. And

1:02:01

so he made the shirt that you suggested a

1:02:04

reality. And when I tell you

1:02:06

this is going to be a great shirt, like

1:02:08

you just won't believe it. Oh, thanks. I'm

1:02:11

excited about it too. I worked hard on

1:02:13

it because I'm out of practice. And the

1:02:15

first versions I was like, what am I

1:02:17

doing? I don't know how you

1:02:20

just have to practice drawing all the

1:02:22

time for it to come easy. And so I was like,

1:02:25

starting and erasing it anyway. I like

1:02:27

how it ended up and were you

1:02:29

able to do time lapse?

1:02:34
