0:15

It's good. It feels good to be in

0:17

first nice. Mhmm.

0:19

You know what else? It feels good. Watching

0:22

this episode. Maybe my favorite

0:24

episode thus far during

0:26

the rewatch.

0:27

Truly. Truly. Up there for me

0:29

too.

0:29

It's it's up there probably one of

0:31

my top ten episodes

0:33

of all time. Yeah. It's like I say that a lot,

0:35

but Yeah.

0:37

I you wanna do us an intro, Maggie?

0:39

Yeah. Like So Sure. We're

0:42

getting right into the epic so that none of

0:44

you are coming in hot? No.

0:46

No. No. Let's get the fans what they want. They wanna

0:48

hear us talk about the episode. This is a good one to

0:50

talk about. We're in the process of working

0:52

on the show, so it feels like it's very present

0:54

in our minds how things happen and

0:57

and how they happened. To

0:59

get into

0:59

it. Well, I mean, unless we

1:00

wanna give some people some context is where we

1:02

are. We are one day out.

1:05

From production on season sixteen.

1:07

We start filming tomorrow, babies.

1:09

In the Philadelphia, we start filming

1:11

tomorrow. Mhmm. And

1:15

we're finishing things up. We're

1:17

a good show behind on a few things,

1:20

but not than other seasons. We usually

1:22

have one script or two that we're like, okay. We're

1:24

gonna be working on those in our trailers. That's right.

1:26

That's right. We got it there.

1:28

That's where we're

1:29

at. It's fun watching episode like this though

1:31

because gets me excited

1:33

to act

1:35

to transition to anything on the show.

1:37

It's a good, like, they

1:39

can feel like this. We're doing something right. Mhmm.

1:42

Great. Very inspiring. Very

1:45

inspiring. Very

1:45

inspiring. Very inspiring.

1:46

Let's tell the audience what the episode is about.

1:48

So season five episode

1:51

two is what we're discussing today, the gang

1:53

hits the road. It aired on September

1:55

twenty fourth two thousand nine was written by

1:57

Charlie and Glen and directed by Fred

1:59

Savage. The gang tries to expand

2:01

the horizons by going on a road trip to the Grand

2:03

Canyon, but they hit a few speed

2:05

bumps along the way.

2:08

Oh, yeah. More than a few. Right.

2:11

Charlie, I remember writing

2:13

this episode with you. It was the

2:16

first year. We were in these offices

2:18

On the fox lot, however, we were one floor

2:20

down from here. We're on the fourth floor. We were on the third

2:22

floor when we wrote that. We were in the exact

2:25

office below the office that we've been writing

2:27

this entire season from.

2:29

And as all the the creeps can tell, it's

2:31

it's so inspiring.

2:33

The car is very It sounds

2:35

like and by the way, Meg put these up.

2:37

Mhmm. Here they can see there might be

2:39

thing to break up walls. Otherwise, it's just a white

2:41

wall. Just a white room.

2:43

Yeah. With windows, which are not which are

2:45

nice But sterile. --

2:46

sterile. Very sterile. But I like to start

2:48

from a sterile place, you know, before I get things dirty.

2:51

Okay. You know,

2:53

like,

2:54

the purity of this Yeah. Like,

2:56

it forces you to go somewhere else

2:58

in your mind, and that is your imagination.

3:01

And that's where

3:02

stories come. Yes.

3:04

It is. He's right. He's right. Tell

3:07

me about what happened. We

3:21

had a lot of fun. We were having a lot of

3:23

fun. I don't remember

3:25

exactly how specific and

3:27

extensive the brake was, but I do

3:29

remember that it

3:31

came to us very, very quickly. And

3:34

we had a draft, an entire draft

3:36

of the episode done by the end of the

3:38

first day of writing with it, which is outrageous.

3:42

It just happened very, very quickly. And how

3:44

do you think we changed that much?

3:46

We we always you know, we went back through it and we

3:48

because it had only taken us a day. We were like, let's

3:50

just take another day and and go through

3:52

it, make sure that everything's as good as it can be, but

3:55

it just flowed. Really? You

3:57

can tell, like, watching it and my

4:00

favorite thing is when we're writing and you

4:03

hit you hit that thing where the writing

4:05

is actually doing

4:07

the breaking for you. So, like, you've done some

4:10

breaking, but you're coming

4:12

up with things in how you execute a scene that you're

4:14

like, oh, we'll we'll actually pay this

4:16

off later So think that I imagine

4:18

weren't in there as

4:21

as we were, like, writing it. I I

4:23

remember these kind things coming up, like, probably

4:25

like the pee in the window

4:26

joke. And stuff like that. But yeah.

4:29

This one. Do you remember

4:30

do you guys remember where the all the fruit

4:32

stuff came from? Or that Stop harder. Yeah.

4:34

Yeah. So A writer, Scott Marter -- Yeah.

4:37

-- discovering that he -- Yeah. -- had never had a blueberry.

4:39

I believe Never eaten a blueberry. And we

4:41

just couldn't believe that a person had never

4:43

tasted a blueberryberryberryberryberryberryberryberryberryberryberry. And and

4:46

that was just the beginning. Then we really got into

4:48

listing all the things that he had never eaten

4:50

in in

4:50

apricot, a pear. And it wasn't

4:53

just fruit specific.

4:54

Other vegetables.

4:55

It was other, like, certain kind of, like, a

4:57

chicken -- Very cold. -- sandwich. She was very,

4:59

very common foods. Like, extremely

5:01

common foods, not rare foods, not exotic

5:03

foods, very common foods. Yeah. And he

5:05

had not had a number of them. It

5:08

wasn't you know, it's very it's It's one thing when

5:10

somebody's like, I don't

5:12

yeah. I know it's weird, but I don't like blueberries.

5:14

Okay? I get that. A little weird. Blueberries

5:16

are

5:16

delicious. Never tried it. Never

5:19

even tried one. Never tried them. Not

5:21

even but every once in a while, he'd bring

5:23

in, like, smelling salts. And he'd be like, let's do these

5:25

today. Yeah. Sure. And he'd smell those. How do

5:27

they

5:27

get that far in life without trying a blueberry?

5:30

Well, you know, that'll be

5:31

a question for when we do the murder.

5:33

We just save that for when

5:35

he's not here

5:35

here today. Right? He's not here today, but they

5:37

have a great that they will.

5:39

Alright. Well, I bring them back. Oh, thanks.

5:42

Oh, you are

5:42

going to dain us with your

5:44

presence. Oh, will you? Alright. Well, we've

5:46

worked up to a point for fifteen years.

5:48

That's for sure. You guys are missing

5:50

fun conversations. The writers room with them,

5:52

like, Rosalyn, I talked for an extensive

5:54

period of time about nitrous the other

5:56

day, which was fun.

5:57

Sure. Because I

5:58

was gonna go get some for, like, little

6:00

outpatient procedure, and he was like,

6:02

oh, yeah. What are you? Did did you

6:03

have the nitrous?

6:04

Yeah. I did. I have that. It wasn't as

6:06

good as I thought was gonna be. I thought it was gonna

6:08

be strong and it was

6:09

fine.

6:10

Yeah. They were like it feels like a warm

6:12

blanket kinda like com like kind

6:14

of sitting. And it was

6:15

good, but I don't think it had the strength

6:17

of the kind that Roselle was talking about, which is when

6:20

you just hoff off of

6:21

-- Yeah. -- like a -- I have a balloon. -- I don't know.

6:23

-- parking lot at the

6:24

beach. Gotcha. And then you you pay basically

6:26

go brain down to thirty go brain down to thirty go brain.

6:27

And then everything

6:29

just goes Angel. Will,

6:30

you know, when you fall down and Right.

6:32

He's, like, That's what that's

6:33

what I remember. I remember there always being this bold

6:36

bold bold bold bold bold bold.

6:37

Is

6:37

the sound of your brain dying

6:39

really a little bit. Is

6:40

the sound of the blood trying to

6:42

But, yeah, it wasn't as good. But, you know, it's

6:44

because it was administered to me by a doctor and

6:46

not a

6:46

whipped cream can. And

6:48

not a for another fourteen year old who who

6:50

had the cracker. You remember that as a thing that actually

6:53

got into the nitrous was the crack was the cracking

6:55

tool. No. I don't know. Oh, yeah. Oh, you guys I

6:57

mean, then you didn't do whippets.

6:59

No. I did witness I did witness witness

7:01

with the Oh oh, the big you did the big

7:03

night. I did yeah. Yeah. We had we had

7:05

Well, you know, you could buy the individual. Yes.

7:08

Oh, it was it was almost like the keg tap.

7:10

Whoever had the cracker is the person who

7:12

had the the the tap. That was the that

7:14

was the the tool. That would allow you to

7:16

crack the thing open and then fill up a

7:17

balloon. And it was just another

7:19

fifteen year old.

7:20

Who was in charge of the cracker? I just

7:21

now that I've got kids, I just I

7:25

don't want to think

7:27

about that for my kids. I I'm happy

7:29

to say I probably only did.

7:31

I could probably count on two hands the number of times

7:33

I actually did it, maybe three

7:36

hands. Sure.

7:39

But you hit certain point where you're you realize,

7:41

okay, I'm gonna stop doing that because

7:43

I I truly believe I don't even

7:45

love the sensation that It's

7:47

not that great. I'm

7:47

just gonna experiment with it, and then I realized I'm actually

7:50

killing myself. And then there were the kids who were like, I'm

7:52

gonna do this

7:53

every brand.

7:54

And then you realize, well, they're gonna

7:56

do lots of things every And -- Okay. --

7:58

let me see if things that make

8:00

you pass out from the episode. I did

8:03

notice on this rewatch a very

8:05

funny choice by Charlie for when you guys

8:07

like the wicker chairs on fire, and it, like,

8:09

gasses you in the in the trailer and

8:11

think that you open up the thing. And Charlie is

8:13

just face this

8:14

down. Yeah. We were talking about that. Like

8:17

Yeah. I thought funny.

8:18

He made the choice to to just, like,

8:20

face face directly, face down.

8:22

Arms at his sides, arms at backwards.

8:24

As if you just like Yeah. We we've

8:27

always enjoyed that kind of fall

8:29

where some you get knocked out instantly

8:31

and your arms are not you don't even stop

8:33

yourself. Your arms just at yourself. I

8:35

remember wanting to do it in a way that

8:37

was, like, it seemed really believable that

8:39

he made no effort to stop himself.

8:41

Yeah. Yeah. But

8:42

also, I remember being like, you know, you gotta

8:45

wait for a a good chunk of dialogue

8:47

before they open the thing and just be

8:48

like, this is uncomfortable. This is straight

8:51

away.

8:51

Oh, yeah. But yeah. Straight down on Knowing

8:53

it would be

8:53

funny, Billy, but it'll be a good bet. Worth it.

8:55

The biggest laugh for me in that whole episode

8:58

is the Jabachi Grill

9:00

legs kicking up and sliding

9:02

out. Like, I'm proud of the the joke, like

9:04

the writing of the joke, but I'm really

9:06

proud of the special effects team.

9:08

That's a pretty sweet duct tape rig. You got going

9:11

on the doorman? Yeah. You like that?

9:12

Take the chairs down too. So

9:13

I'm fly I know. But you stopped at the grill,

9:15

and

9:15

that's got be confused. Ran on tape actually.

9:17

Yeah.

9:18

It's not gonna slide through the crack.

9:19

It won't because I measure the crack, and the crack is smaller

9:21

than the height of the grill. We're all hooked up

9:23

here, dude. The shotgun of beer?

9:25

Out common nerves. Sure. Well.

9:32

Do you remember how hard it

9:34

was for that to happen? No.

9:36

Oh, oh my

9:37

god. Yeah. To we had to get filament to pull

9:40

the the legs sideways and

9:41

then have someone pull it straight out. Now but

9:44

at the time, we were very very frustrated.

9:46

And we had a we had a great special effects

9:48

team. But for some reason, this was the one that stumped

9:50

them because you had to get the timing exactly

9:53

right. So I remember exactly how this happened because

9:55

you guys were in the

9:56

Oh, in the event. Sorry. Also, yes.

9:58

You know what I do remember? Also, the time and this

10:00

maybe was what you're talking about when you say timing because

10:02

it wasn't like when to do

10:03

it. It was starting

10:06

it slow and then speeding it up. Yeah. It's like, no. It's

10:08

more like it's like, do we

10:09

yank it

10:09

out? And it's like, no. Yes. Can we do it

10:11

all slow? No. You start slow

10:13

and you it's like a

10:14

Again,

10:15

hits a bump. So it's gonna go boom. Uh-huh.

10:17

And then the legs have and then the legs have come

10:19

out. And the and the legs have to it collapse at

10:21

the same time. It can't go one one. It doesn't

10:23

look as funny. It's gotta go, bump, bump,

10:25

and then out. And then And so So

10:28

we're we're we're thinking, well, we're in Hollywood,

10:30

but we know that at this point, our show is a piece

10:32

of shit, and and we don't have any money. So

10:34

we gotta figure out now again, we've seen dinosaurs

10:36

on in nineteen ninety three, and yet we

10:39

can't just get this goddamn Jabachi girl to

10:41

just do what we needed to do. They wound up having

10:43

two two special effects guys

10:45

one on one side of the trailer, one on the

10:47

other. They cut a hole through

10:49

the through the van -- Okay. -- and they pulled the string

10:52

this way. And then a third special

10:54

effects guy that pulled the thing

10:56

out. That's right. And you know why? Because

10:58

the van, there and the tightness

11:01

of the van is such that we couldn't

11:03

put two guys in there to to pull on the strings

11:05

to have the legs come

11:06

back. So we

11:06

had to, like, drill through the

11:07

Yeah. Side

11:08

that you hold. And originally, what

11:10

they did was they fed the wire this

11:12

way. Right? And then threw a little,

11:15

like, snake hole out. So

11:17

the the way that they had to sit without drilling

11:19

a hole. So all three guys were on the other

11:21

side of the truck and pulling

11:23

But how do you get the timing right where

11:25

the the tension isn't this way? The tension

11:28

is this way. But then eventually, it's got

11:30

a pull, like, through a pulley system. But it's also

11:32

funny. So complex. There's so many different ways.

11:34

Until they got it. Until they, like, thank God.

11:36

We spent the time with it because it's -- Yeah. -- it's like it's

11:38

definitely worth it.

11:39

Yeah. You yeah. You wouldn't think that it would be that difficult.

11:41

But it's also like because we have a very

11:44

specific, sort of, like,

11:46

timing in mind of what we want to happen.

11:48

It's like as you said, it's got a fault both

11:50

legs have to collapse

11:51

first. And then there's gonna be, like, the tiniest

11:53

microbebe, and then it just

11:55

Yeah.

11:56

You know what I mean? Then you guys have such a funny

11:58

reaction. It's just, like, staring

12:00

at it. Yeah. It's nice. I'm gonna hang out and react. More

12:04

up. Yeah. Just sort of there's the era of,

12:06

like, yeah, that was we could have seen that

12:09

coming.

12:09

Okay, man. Like I love it. Not the I

12:11

love the the attitudes throughout the

12:14

entire episode. It's always fun when characters

12:16

are on the same page or excited and happy

12:18

and having fun. So Dennis and Frank,

12:20

when they first get back there, how

12:22

excited they are and how on board they are. And

12:24

there's very little fighting. There's very little argument.

12:26

It's more they might have a little disagreement, but

12:28

Dennis is up for

12:29

anything. Frank's up for anything. That's fun. Same thing

12:31

when Charlie got back there as well. Everybody

12:33

decided playing those colors

12:36

as Dennis. I miss like,

12:39

playing the, you know, the the, like,

12:41

you know, still calm and still every

12:44

and still kind of narcissistic and full of

12:46

himself, but, like, I don't know, not

12:48

always angry. Just

12:50

What's that what I mean, like, what should everybody happen?

12:52

It's a simple story. There's no big

12:55

theme we're trying to jam in there. There's

12:57

no like, well, it's they've gone a road

12:59

trip, but it's really about, you

13:01

know, we're really saying it's about XYZ.

13:04

No. They're trying to go on road trip and

13:06

they're unable to pull it off. And that's

13:08

it. So it allows for those

13:10

grounded moments because people can relate to

13:13

it. Right? We we don't have to we don't have to

13:15

sort of invent a a motive for

13:17

why people would wanna go on a road trip. Like,

13:19

people go on road trip. So yeah.

13:21

So then then we have

13:23

nothing but free reigns and then be

13:25

like, okay. Well, what are the funny things that happen

13:27

that keep them from going on this road trip?

13:29

Yeah.

13:30

So, yeah, it doesn't it wouldn't make sense to have

13:32

any, like, heightened art One person

13:34

that we've talked about on the podcast in

13:36

the past and now people can put a

13:38

face to his name is Chachi. So

13:41

Chachi who we've mentioned in the podcast was Danny's

13:43

friend who may or

13:45

may not have been in a certain organization

13:48

that may or may not have existed somewhere

13:50

in the northeast part of this

13:52

country. We can't say for sure,

13:54

but we were it

13:57

could be that he possibly was a member

13:59

of one of those or types of

14:00

Like the American Legion. Like, what do you remember?

14:02

Yeah. I Yeah. Whatever. Were the the

14:04

carpenters union,

14:05

something like that. Shit. And I

14:08

have fruit. Now the thing is that Kochachai

14:10

has has since passed. So we're we're

14:12

we're clear to talk about in in many

14:14

different

14:14

ways. But none of the ways that will get us beaten

14:16

up or murdered ideally. Chachi was the

14:18

best.

14:19

He was he was so

14:20

Was it

14:21

a boxing promoter

14:22

for Tony

14:23

Danza? And that's how Danny met

14:25

him? Yes. Yeah. Chachi and I

14:27

had a night where he took me

14:29

to a

14:31

a fight at Madison Square Garden

14:33

where we took. Yeah. What was this?

14:36

Around that time, I guess. was in New York

14:38

City on it

14:40

was I don't know. It was something like we were shooting

14:42

in Philly And then there was a big fight

14:44

coming up at Madison Square Garden, and I was

14:46

talking a chaw about it. I think it may have even

14:49

been when we were doing that episode. And

14:51

he was like, I yeah. He was like, I could

14:53

I could get a sense that I fight, you know?

14:55

And I was like, let's let's do it. You know what I mean?

14:57

So I went to New York and stayed in New York and I

15:00

went to his he had a He had AAAA

15:02

coffee, like a cafe, Bay Mallory

15:04

Street. Called Mallory Street. Yeah. Little

15:06

Italy.

15:07

Yeah.

15:08

It's like a July But it was July. Yeah. It had

15:10

pizza. It had lots of things.

15:11

Yeah. Lots of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It had had coffee.

15:14

It had calzones. Whatever

15:15

you wanted, you could get there.

15:16

And everybody knew Chocha.

15:19

Everybody knew Chocha. Everybody knew

15:21

Chocha. And so, you know, he I

15:23

I went there and I met him there. You know, he

15:25

He fed me, gave me some espresso, then

15:27

we went to the fight together and

15:30

had a blast, and, you know, everybody at the

15:32

stadium knew him. Like, everybody, you know,

15:35

and which which had a really, really fun

15:37

night. And I think very fondly on Chachi

15:39

because he really he really, like, hosted

15:41

that

15:41

night. It was and it was It was really cool. He's

15:43

he's a very guy. No scenes down in the Italian

15:46

market are, like, they feel very alive.

15:48

There's a lot of pedestrians. And,

15:50

you know, we didn't, like, pay for, like, two hundred extras

15:52

that day. We were just filming down in the

15:54

the market. And, you

15:55

know, I'm sure we had, like, fifteen

15:57

or twenty people. Maybe we you know, had

15:59

them cross through.

16:00

That wasn't the Italian market, to be clear

16:02

-- Yeah. -- to infill yeah. But, like, we that

16:04

was still at a time where think we could shoot

16:07

and we wouldn't draw a huge

16:08

crowd. Right? Yeah. Two thousand yeah. Season

16:11

five, not yet. Right? Yeah.

16:11

We could still get away with it.

16:13

Although I do remember people yelling to Danny

16:15

when we were driving

16:16

around the car. Yes. When we hit the

16:18

guy with the with the by the way, the stunt

16:20

guy nailed it going over the body. Yeah.

16:22

Sure

16:22

did. And we'll start we'll start that from

16:24

the beginning because that was a really fun moment in the

16:26

shooting of the show that we reference a lot

16:28

because it was very specific. We were going

16:31

around a big loop. So when we were shooting, we

16:33

would just because I had to throw it up that guy's head

16:35

and I think I missed, like, three times. But we had to do

16:37

this giant loop around this one neighborhood

16:40

in Philly where we would just go up and down the

16:41

street. And

16:42

the car's being towed. Right? So the car's being towed.

16:45

Really driving. It's a yeah. Right. And so we have a camera

16:47

car shooting us. And then and so

16:49

we're just going around. We're passing the same houses

16:51

in the same people. And no one knew our

16:53

show, including people in Philadelphia,

16:55

but everybody knows Danny. So

16:58

their neighbors were out on their stoops.

17:00

And every time we would pass by,

17:02

they would yell out out. Hey, Danny. Hey, Danny.

17:06

Come on over, Danny. I'll make you

17:08

some zevie. And then we'd be passing and

17:10

then we turn

17:11

around, we come back around, and then

17:13

just more and

17:13

more people. Danny. Yeah. And

17:15

we had a joke running joke in the car about it getting

17:17

more extreme, like, Danny, come over.

17:19

Let me tie you up in the basement

17:21

with Danny. Let me wear your face

17:23

then.

17:24

I gotta slowly take off the what?

17:26

Come here, Danny. Danny, just a

17:28

little piece of your body. I

17:30

put a basic foot trophy room.

17:35

Danny, I'll bake you enthusiasm. Danny,

17:38

can we eat you forever. Yeah.

17:44

Yeah. Yeah. Everybody wanted a piece. Everybody

17:46

wanted a piece. Everybody wanted a piece of Danny. They

17:48

wanted a piece, you know. Who who can blame

17:50

him? Who can blame him? And then and then

17:52

also if you remember from that shoot, one

17:55

of the trucks got hit by lightning. One

17:57

of our camera trucks got hit by lightning. Oh, I don't

17:59

remember We were shooting down there. There was a

18:01

thunderstorm, a lightning storm.

18:03

don't know where. I remember was a huge

18:05

thunderstorm. Yeah.

18:06

And you don't really know where to go because

18:08

we don't have a set, so the neighbors were like,

18:10

you can

18:10

come into our house really? Yeah.

18:12

We'll take our chances with the lights. Yeah.

18:14

We'll take

18:14

our chances. We'd go up in these

18:16

these giant metal trucks, which, of course, are grounded

18:19

from the tires, but still, it's terrifying

18:21

and, like, the trailers, like, shaking and whatnot.

18:23

And then one of our trucks got hit by hit by

18:25

lightning. Jesus. Oh, fuck. What happened?

18:27

Did it, like, blow up or, like, no.

18:31

Maybe that's why this episode is so good because

18:33

it's, like,

18:33

infused with the power of zoom. By lightning.

18:36

That's true.

18:36

It's infused for the power of zoom. Right.

18:39

Power of Zeus came through us. Wow.

18:41

There's a lot of Philly stuff. Yeah.

18:43

You did you shoot this into other than the the

18:46

scenes in the bar, and in front of the bar, did

18:48

you shoot all of it in

18:48

Philly? The gas station scenes and stuff? No.

18:51

No. That was that was in LA.

18:53

Not far I believe, not far

18:55

from the Patty's set. Mhmm.

18:57

I

18:57

mean, it's in downtown --

19:00

Yeah. -- that, like, could

19:02

really pass for Philly because it was just very

19:04

urban and --

19:05

Yeah. -- not a lot. Like, what do you remember? Job

19:07

and chases you guys. Like

19:08

That was downtown. That was downtown.

19:10

Yeah. And I wonder because haven't been

19:12

shot down there in a while. Like, the more and more we

19:14

go down in the neighborhood, it's nicer and nicer. It's

19:16

nicer. We can't even shoot outside

19:19

of that Patty set very much anymore because it's

19:21

I went from judgment night to, like,

19:23

you

19:23

know, hipster hipster neck. Do you remember,

19:25

like, in the early years where whatever

19:27

that we might have talked about this in the podcast. The guys

19:30

across the street -- Oh, yeah. -- would just lay

19:32

on there, like, car horn when we were filming.

19:34

And our lime producer had to go over and just

19:36

give them cash It was just a It

19:38

was just a

19:39

story. It was just a shakedown. I kinda

19:41

see both sides of that. You know, I'm not sure. III

19:43

mean, they were shooting on my street.

19:45

Like, two weeks ago, and I pulled

19:48

up and they're like, you can't go up there. And I was like, no,

19:50

I live up there and they're like, sorry, you can't go through.

19:52

And I was like, I'm sorry. You're telling me

19:54

I can't go to my house and they're like, yeah, they're filming.

19:57

And was like, I'm gonna drive. And if you

19:59

get in front of my car, I'm gonna run you over.

20:01

Like, what the fuck? And of of course, it's like some

20:03

poor p a's. I've done

20:04

that. Some, like, gives the first day in the

20:06

job. Like, I was told not to let anyone out

20:08

the street. I don't really wanna work until me and

20:10

the Totally. But, like, local had

20:12

it. The guys the guys across

20:14

the street from us, they had a

20:16

business. And we would just shut the street down, or

20:18

we would do, like, intermittent. Yeah. It doesn't say, Josh,

20:20

I had a business. Cars

20:23

come in, cars go out of whose guys they

20:25

have. I don't know. The horns

20:28

fucking work. So give me cash. But that one

20:30

time in particular, I remember and they were

20:32

started they started to blare music out of there. Cars.

20:34

Yeah. Yeah. And it was because the they

20:36

were told that they couldn't bring they had some

20:38

importing, exporting business. That's right. I'm assuming there Somebody

20:41

told

20:41

them they couldn't bring truckset. Yeah.

20:42

And they were like, this is our business. You just you can't

20:44

shut down the street unless you pass. Mhmm. And so we

20:46

paid them.

20:48

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a middle

20:49

think what you're saying is there's a middle ground.

20:52

In that case, there is a middle ground. There

20:54

is middle ground.

20:59

Alright. Who are your hates cooking?

21:01

Oh, god. It's cooking. Thank you. Overrated.

21:03

It's just it's it's so much time and energy,

21:05

hours of shopping, prep, and cooking,

21:08

and cleaning.

21:08

Also, it's just not

21:09

economical. Well, check it out, Charlie. We're sponsored

22:26

Yes. Yeah. You play the I really got

22:28

slapped in the face with apple juice or something like

22:30

that. Yes. So you were feeling the actual

22:32

frustration.

22:33

Now that kid's gotta be sixty

22:36

two, sixty three years old. Kevin

22:38

McCain. Oh, look at that case. What's his name?

22:40

Shannon McCain.

22:41

Shannon McCain. What's he up to? Is

22:43

he has he been

22:44

working at all? Shannon McCain? He's thirty eight years

22:46

old. Wow. Wow. Does

22:48

it hear his story? Did he get into the floor? Right. Particularly

22:51

working.

22:51

Good. Yeah. They didn't have to get into the porn, like

22:53

like, dude.

22:53

I don't know what that tiny little body is.

22:57

No. That's what tiny little body is. So

22:59

that means he was twenty four when he did it.

23:01

Did the episode.

23:02

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I didn't run away train

23:04

with your pitch. I feel like maybe I remember, like, working

23:06

on that and, like, might have had

23:08

some different song or something, and

23:10

I think I wasn't in the break.

23:13

Maybe it was. Maybe it was Maybe it's right that you had in the room

23:15

because I feel like you liked that song.

23:17

I like well, I like that. I remember

23:20

that song being on the summer

23:22

of probably nineteen ninety

23:25

I'm gonna say, four. Sure.

23:27

A summer of nineteen ninety four.

23:29

That sounds right. That song was on constantly.

23:32

And the video, they would play the video, and it

23:34

was all about, like, runaways. And then it

23:36

became a whole marketing campaign

23:39

where they were talking about how many lives the song

23:41

saved because people were runaways

23:44

were inspired to, like, call home or come

23:46

home. This is, like, all engineered by MTV,

23:48

and I thought, man, it just seemed like such a scam

23:50

to sell to sell

23:51

records. Right. As if they were, like, on the street

23:53

that would hear that song and be like, oh, you know what?

23:55

I'm the runaway train. I'm the runaway train.

23:58

I'm the runaway train. Back in touch with my

24:00

my family who's who's definitely looking for

24:02

me. That's why I ran away in the first room.

24:04

They're really

24:05

Right. They're really

24:06

up. That's the nuclear family that I need to. Yeah.

24:08

I love that she's like, you need to hear the

24:10

songs. It's got a message for you, and then she cannot

24:13

remember the

24:13

worst. Yeah. Delivers all the emotion,

24:16

but -- Yeah.

24:16

-- few of the also like that she she

24:19

immediately is, like, invading the

24:21

space.

24:21

Like, she's she's gotten drunk, like,

24:23

so fast.

24:24

And she also mimes like,

24:27

you get she starts moving

24:28

Yeah. -- as, like, before she reveals

24:30

the piss jar. Yeah. She does a couple of movements,

24:33

which, like, on second

24:34

viewing, you're like, oh, that was her zipping not. Yep.

24:36

Yep. Yep. That was Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

24:39

I guess, I'm meaning to hear about.

24:43

One second. Just

24:46

easier than dealing with the

24:48

big. Why won't

24:51

they change

25:23

And it's an open mouth jar.

25:25

Yes. It's like so how did she

25:28

That's a bunch of dudes. Right?

25:30

Well, I'm a good guy. I don't know. How does it

25:31

wanna have been, like, dude, Kayla? Just

25:33

figure it out. I

25:34

don't know. It's just a good good name.

25:38

Wonder how many of her cars we wrecked. So

25:40

we wrecked the the first, the blue one,

25:42

and Mac and Charlie died, and then this one gets

25:45

stolen. And then we we wrecked

25:47

the one at the McPoyle wedding

25:48

massacre. I

25:49

dragged it

25:50

into the pole.

25:50

think it's

25:51

a purple pizza cruiser.

25:52

Yep. Yep. Is

25:54

that it?

25:54

There's a few. And that's maybe it.

25:57

I

25:57

told him. Three's a lot. Three's a lot.

25:59

Three's lot of cars. Correct? Yeah. Yeah. Just try.

26:02

Do you remember anything else about the writing of this episode?

26:06

Charles? Nope. Me either.

26:09

You guys you know, or did you have

26:11

all that what I like about it is that there's just

26:13

the simplicity and just mixing up the pairings.

26:16

Like, somebody goes back into the

26:18

back and then somebody moves to the front seat

26:20

and, like, that kind of energy of the story

26:22

is just really funny.

26:23

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But was that planned?

26:25

Or did you guys just be, like, generally, they're

26:27

gonna be on a road trip.

26:29

I mean, I think it's so long ago.

26:31

It's really hard to remember. Yeah.

26:32

It's hard to remember. Like, I mean, I don't think we would have gone

26:34

into writing it without there being I don't think

26:36

we broke them in the detail

26:39

that we break the stories now. Like, sometimes

26:41

we did and sometimes we did it. Sometimes we were like,

26:43

they go on the road trip. This happens. They

26:45

go to the farmer's market. We do

26:48

the blueberry

26:48

run. The cargot stolen. You

26:50

know, like,

26:51

Well, like, in a row You're not gonna pat down.

26:54

I

26:54

think you improv

26:55

improvise out of the day.

26:57

Possibly. I mean, I remember Roselle pitching

26:59

the sheriff of patties. Okay.

27:00

So that was probably in the show. Because it got back

27:02

in the last scene. Yeah. So But I think

27:05

In the ocular

27:05

pat down thing, joke, I'm pretty sure

27:07

you came up with, though. Yeah.

27:09

I didn't ocular pat down, and I cleared him. Mhmm.

27:12

I'm sorry? I'm saying that I did an ocular assessment

27:15

in the

27:15

situation, Garner, that he was not security risk, and

27:17

I cleared him for passage.

27:18

Ocular. That what in that

27:20

hell are you talking about?

27:21

I'm talking about breaking down the security

27:24

situation, clearing an individual, and making

27:26

it safe for passage. Oh,

27:29

how exactly do you view yourself within

27:32

the context of our group? This

27:36

sheriff of patties. Can't

27:38

I can't have this conversation

27:39

right now.

27:40

I wanna unfold this thing. I'm gonna pass out. But

27:42

my favorite part of that whole thing was is

27:44

setting that up. And then in the end, finding out

27:47

that Charlie. He's also very much aware of the

27:49

process. And and he he's a clear clear.

27:51

On my side, we're we're we're we're we're we're we're

27:53

we're we're we're we're we're we're

27:55

He said the kid was clear. So I

27:57

figured -- Which is very clear, and we're good. -- coming

27:59

off the heels of us having no idea

28:01

how you view the captain.

28:02

Since it the funny reveal that we've had these

28:04

conversations many times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

28:07

Also

28:07

liked the little run about the glaze on the

28:09

chairs. You guys

28:10

being

28:10

It was a It a glaze.

28:12

Yeah. It was a glaze. Yeah. We pass that in.

28:14

So that's our inspiration.

28:16

Well, I don't remember how we did I guess we just had

28:18

a smoke machine in there. I don't remember how we

28:20

did that. Yeah. I think it was just that thing just that. I don't

28:22

think it was anything more complicated than that. Thank

28:24

god, we didn't have to actually set anything on fire.

28:26

Because they they send the whole fire department when

28:28

you do

28:28

that. Fucking light candle these days on

28:30

set and the whole fire department's got

28:32

a shot. I I tried to cook my husband dinner

28:34

on Friday and fire department calls.

28:37

Yeah. Why do

28:38

I set off an alarm? I did. I set off our

28:40

own fire alarms, and apparently, we

28:42

have we have it's somehow connected

28:44

to, like, the security alarm,

28:46

and then they they called us and the fire

28:48

department called. And so to very

28:50

embarrassing conversations. My husband just had to be

28:52

like, no. My wife's just cooking. Yeah.

28:55

It doesn't happen very often. That's probably

28:57

why we haven't

28:58

been. So they actually came by. Now, No.

29:00

No. They just Oh, they did? Okay. Alright.

29:02

Well, so I had an experience, I don't know,

29:04

it was maybe about year ago, and we were we had,

29:06

like, a busted pipe in our landscaping.

29:09

And we had, like, expanded our landscaping.

29:12

So I knew where the landscaping

29:15

the the controls were for turning

29:17

off all the water that goes to landscaping. Except

29:19

there's this like a new section of landscaping that

29:22

had been done and it wasn't on the same pipe. So I was

29:24

like, I don't know how to stop this and there's this fucking water

29:26

guys ring. So we had to call

29:28

we had to call I don't

29:30

know if we called I guess, we've called the fire department

29:32

or somebody. Actually, I don't know. Yeah. I guess we did.

29:35

But they they show you know, we're just, like, just

29:37

like, why do you always have to show up in a fire

29:39

truck? Like, you know, it's like it's like midnight,

29:41

you know. Like, the whole waking

29:43

the whole neighbor neighborhood up to iron

29:46

got, like, blaring honking the

29:47

horn, like, lights blowing up, you know, or

29:50

it's like, oh, man. It's vitamin.

29:52

Fummin.

29:52

Red.

29:52

Oh, we have to stay by the way. Hornsby.

29:55

And and I I these guys

29:57

got out. I

29:59

There's nothing more emasculating. It's

30:01

so massive.

30:01

Hey, bud. You want us to turn your water off for you? Yeah.

30:03

Yeah. Yeah. Basically, he wants to come in there to take care

30:06

of your wife too. Yeah.

30:06

You could turn her watery. Every single

30:09

guy was was, like, six foot three

30:11

on average. You know what mean? Like, no one was below

30:13

six foot three. Mhmm. It was like six foot three

30:15

and above. Every single guy, I'm not kidding

30:17

you looked like he could be a male

30:18

model. We

30:20

got the calendar shoot right after this. So

30:22

that looks like it. Yeah. I will say I noticed

30:24

I noticed the a major difference when I first

30:26

moved to Los Angeles with the police force.

30:28

I noticed the the LAPD and

30:30

the California State highway patrol.

30:33

Those are some big people. And and in

30:35

shape people. Even the even if the women aren't

30:37

large, they seem like they're in very good shape. And all

30:39

the cops I knew in New York and Philly --

30:41

Yeah.

30:41

That is how -- yeah.

30:42

Not really because they were skinny, but, like,

30:44

never, like, not in, like, the kind of

30:46

California shape where

30:47

Yeah. Right. These are California firemen and

30:50

-- Yeah. -- the policeman. Right? Yeah.

30:52

Yeah. Just coming correct.

30:54

Right? Just coming straight from the gym, like, at

30:56

the gym at four AM every single morning.

30:58

You know what I mean? Cooking, cooking,

31:00

you know, sticking to a

31:02

paleo diet down there at the

31:04

at the firehouse. Right? Cooking everybody

31:07

chicken and vegetables. Let's lay off the

31:09

rice guys. We're getting a few l b's when

31:11

we show up to these people's house, we've really got to make

31:13

the men feel small. That's our

31:15

primary goal here. Right? Putting out fires

31:17

absolutely every time if we

31:19

can. More important than that though,

31:21

and pressing the woman in emasculating it.

31:23

And that's why they became firemen in the first

31:25

place. Right?

31:26

Yep. That's right. I think you're absolutely right.

31:28

Know it's

31:29

all the time. Was that I'm brought on the

31:31

day?

31:31

Or was that a death? can't remember. Definitely. The

31:34

whole thing? Yeah. It was pretty

31:36

gross. Just standing in the in the core.

31:39

He

31:39

told me not to eat the stem, dude. Did you eat the

31:41

stickers that are all over it? Yeah. It was gross.

31:43

Of course, it's gross. It's a

31:44

sticker. Price stickers all the time.

31:47

Dude, God.

31:47

This whole thing is a disaster. I'm

31:49

going back to the car.

31:50

We fought about that in the

31:52

in the meeting room. Yes. We did. Because you were

31:54

we we both were on the same page where you're

31:56

like, I thought it was

31:58

funny. Yeah. Because you are proud to I eat stickers

32:01

all the time and you were like, that is the dumbest thing I've ever

32:03

heard. We're now establishing those at

32:04

me. Charlie eats stickers all the time and we're

32:06

like, yes. Okay. Good. You guys remember that too.

32:08

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Look, I'll I'll fully admit that

32:10

that there's there's just and everybody's got

32:12

a

32:13

line. Right? Everybody's got a line. sounds like these

32:15

are earlier seasons. Right? So maybe

32:17

the characters aren't have gone as

32:19

crazy yet. So you're you're still

32:21

having a conversation, you know, do

32:23

or do they not eat stickers, you know,

32:25

by season six and seven. We know that

32:28

Charlie and Frank, and possibly sometimes

32:30

maybe Mac, eat

32:31

stickers, change,

32:32

Charlie. Like, sure. We need contracts and

32:34

also, like

32:35

Yeah. I feel like

32:36

Yeah. I mean, there's real hair in your feces.

32:38

Small hair. Zero three. So

32:40

yeah. So I down for that. Yeah. Credit pieces

32:42

of a credit card, Wolf hair, like,

32:44

all inclusive

32:45

form. The line is always changing and -- Yeah.

32:47

-- and always but we just had a conversation this morning.

32:49

I know where Glenn was pointing something

32:51

out that was, like, I don't think this makes any kind of rational

32:54

sense. And Charlie and I are both, like, I can't

32:56

see

32:57

it. Like, there's part of me that just want like, in those

32:59

moments, I wanna back down just because IIII

33:02

could just sense you guys

33:03

being, like, on us. Yeah. But we didn't fight

33:05

back with us. No, you did. We didn't fight back. We were

33:07

like, okay.

33:09

Okay. Let's let's see.

33:11

Let's pin it. Let's see if we can figure it out.

33:13

Yeah. But, you know, there is a there

33:15

is a tendency to wanna just be like,

33:18

Well, come on, man. Like, we we do crazy

33:20

shit all the time. Why is it this thing? But

33:23

we each have one of those moments

33:25

throughout the week where you're

33:27

like, no, this is my line. And

33:29

we can either, like, tell the person they're being

33:31

stupid or we can kind of figure out By the way, I

33:33

I usually like to be like, do

33:36

you guys stand behind? Do you fully

33:38

stand behind this? And if you do and you

33:40

guys are like, this is amazing, I fully stand

33:42

behind it. I stole my fight back a little

33:44

bit, but I'll but I'll eventually just be

33:46

like, alright, I'm just gonna back off. Yeah.

33:48

You know what I mean? Because

33:50

I don't think you'd do it that often. Let's just

33:52

do it down

33:53

then. No. No. No. I mean, it's Look at

33:55

the joke is really

33:57

funny.

33:58

You know, you'd probably get a little scared of the

34:01

broken nose. No. You know

34:03

what it is? It's actually the opposite. It's when

34:05

I'm like, this If it's really

34:08

really funny, I care less

34:10

about how ground ground

34:12

it is. You know what I mean? If it's making but

34:15

that's my but that's my me thinking something's funny

34:17

or not funny. You know, as far as you guys might find

34:19

something funny that I'm like, I don't even think that so

34:21

not only is that not funny, but it

34:23

but it also there's there's not grounded in any sort

34:25

of reality that I can

34:26

believe. Yeah.

34:26

That's a it's just a reality thing. Right? Yeah. That's

34:29

a stigger thing for you or the gun thing with Frank

34:31

and the and episode are you shooting

34:33

in that

34:33

thing? We're like It's just not that funny to

34:35

me. So I'm like, why are we bending reality

34:38

for some but it's funny to you guys, and it's funny to

34:40

a lot people in the

34:40

audience. So it's like,

34:42

Okay. Is what it is. What about now?

34:44

Is this a stick or thing funny to do now?

34:46

No. Not funny. But I can appreciate

34:48

why III understand why other people think

34:50

it's funny. I just

34:53

don't think it's that funny. I mean,

34:55

I think you don't

34:56

buy

34:56

that the guy would eat stickers all the time? No.

34:59

I buy that you would have eaten the sticker on the

35:01

pear and that that it tasted

35:03

awful and that you ate the stem and the seeds and all

35:05

that kind of shit because you don't know how to a

35:07

pair. Like, I I somehow that's okay with

35:09

me. But

35:09

Mhmm. -- this is the one step pass This

35:11

is the one step pass when

35:12

you say, like, I eat stickers all the time. That means

35:14

that means you're a man who looks at a tracker and

35:16

goes, I'm gonna eat that. Yeah.

35:17

Probably just like a scratch, a snip snip

35:20

snip

35:20

snip snip snip snip. So

35:23

that additional line would have bought a bathroom.

35:25

If he was like, what are you talking about, like, you scratch

35:27

your snip, your

35:28

taste. You scratch your snip. It's like it's just scratching

35:30

snip. Yeah. Since what? It's

35:33

scratching the face. Scratched

35:34

if it tastes. The ones with the bananas, do

35:36

taste like bananas.

35:38

Have you guys ever been to the Grand Canyon?

35:40

I have. I have yet seen it. That one's

35:43

Really? You've never

35:44

Merrillers than I did a road

35:46

trip once with our dog many

35:48

years ago, our first

35:49

dog, Arthur. And It

35:51

was two degrees when we got to the grand canyon,

35:54

and Arthur had to take a

35:55

crap. And I remember, like,

35:57

the steam coming up. You

36:00

just, like, squeeze one

36:01

out.

36:02

Dude, dump up the grand canyon. We stayed like

36:04

a red roof in, you know.

36:06

Yeah. It's been old days. Old

36:08

days. Right? I looked at it. It was like, this is

36:10

really sad, but looked at it. It was like, yeah, sure.

36:13

Oh, really? Yeah. I think because I'd

36:15

seen things in books and on television

36:17

so many times. Yes. What what is it impressive,

36:20

of course. But there's something about

36:22

this world that we live in now that you have access

36:25

to things so much, you Like,

36:27

I imagine seeing that for the first time when you're riding

36:29

your horse across the country and you're like, oh, shit.

36:32

Whole. Big hole. Yeah.

36:35

We got a home. Big

36:36

hole. Big hole. Yeah.

36:39

It could be the end of the world.

36:41

Not sure. Yes. This is where the world

36:43

It is strange because I've flown over it so

36:45

many times because that is the direct route

36:47

back to the East Coast. And so you

36:49

look at it from the sky. And of course,

36:51

it's impressive. It's a massive gorge. But

36:53

because of the scale, because of the

36:55

height, Yeah. You're like, you can't really

36:57

get a sense of it because so I'm kinda like,

36:59

I get it. Yeah. I had the exact opposite

37:02

reaction. I did not I actually

37:04

expected my maybe because my expectations

37:06

were

37:06

low. I fully expected to not be impressed

37:08

by it because it's seen so many pictures of it.

37:10

Right? I'm like, wow. I mean, I just it's it's

37:12

a fucking hole in the ground. Like, it gives a shit. But,

37:15

you know, whatever it was, we were on a road trip. My

37:17

girlfriend and I at the time, it was the early two thousands,

37:19

and we just we were, like, let's

37:21

stop by the Grand Canyon. Great. Went to the grand

37:23

we went to, like, this one area where you

37:26

could

37:26

really, like, stand, like, really close to the edge

37:28

and which is maybe

37:30

a lot of it.

37:32

But I was absolutely floored.

37:35

To me, it gave me the feeling of being like, oh,

37:37

I'm so small and insignificant in

37:39

way that actually

37:40

is, like, kind of great. And -- Yeah. -- it

37:42

sounded really I felt the same. There's

37:44

a space to that for me. Where do you see, like, how

37:46

many galaxies there are? And like, Wait.

37:48

Wait. We're one dot in one of these

37:50

things. Like, I find that comforting.

37:53

But the grand

37:53

canyon, I was like, oh,

37:55

it's nice.

38:03

Yeah? Which one? No. I don't.

40:53

I think for me.

40:54

In in New Jersey, hit

40:56

check-in? In New Jersey, like, you know, on those You picked

40:58

one up or you were hit check-in. Many

41:00

times. You hit check? I have. But

41:02

not like a not like a whole boat across

41:04

the country. You know, like

41:06

Jersey shore towns, like in shore

41:08

towns where people are just going back

41:10

and forth to different, like, vacation

41:13

spots to people would be a hitchhike all the

41:15

time. Okay. I finished, like,

41:17

many many times. I mean, through, like, entire

41:19

summers back and forth.

41:20

And how many people did you did you rob?

41:22

How many people did you just Zero? Had

41:25

I had I had zero negative.

41:27

I got into car accident one time with somebody

41:29

who was who I was I had

41:32

hitched a ride with somebody who had been

41:34

drinking. Mhmm. And I should've thought said,

41:36

maybe I'll get out of this one. I didn't. And I

41:38

we got an

41:39

accident. Any of these people

41:41

stay try to tuck in to put in your

41:43

mouth on them.

41:44

I I would have done it.

41:46

Sure. At the time. At the

41:47

time, I would have done it. Okay. Now is that because you

41:49

were just were so appreciative of them giving you a ride

41:51

and you were like, well, the least I can do is is get

41:53

my mouth on

41:54

you. I'm just I'm just trying to get my mouth on anything

41:56

I could. I was -- Anything. -- well, not

41:58

a dick, but that just wasn't my

42:00

thing. But, like, yeah, I guess, I'm

42:02

sorry.

42:02

You said you would have done it. I'm thinking you're not

42:04

anymore if it was intended.

42:06

No. I was picturing a man. So interestingly

42:08

enough, I didn't even go there. I went right

42:11

to a woman, a young woman asking me to

42:13

put my mouth on her for a ride.

42:15

And that's never happened in history of human

42:17

history that type. Right? think it's gonna

42:19

be a man that's gonna be

42:20

neutral. Yeah. I just if I ran in

42:22

size more maybe, but other than that, I'm

42:24

sorry, the more it's gonna want you to split it together.

42:27

Okay. There's so many moments in this episode

42:29

that that had me chuckling. I'm

42:32

trying to

42:32

remember I'm trying to find the theme of the states.

42:35

I thought was very funny Mhmm. -- saying

42:37

East Virginia and West Virginia and North

42:39

Virginia and all the some

42:41

of the things from my well, that

42:44

that the East Virginia, West Virginia, North

42:46

Virginia came from a thing that I

42:48

swear to god, I was, like, twenty five or

42:51

twenty eight no. Twenty three, and

42:53

I was in New York. And I was looking

42:55

at a map in the United

42:56

States. And I was looking at West Virginia.

42:59

And it was, like, as if someone had told me there was,

43:01

like, a West California, I was, like, I just

43:04

cut I'd forgotten about Western Media.

43:06

I just just because, like, I'm like, what sports

43:08

teams are like, you don't you don't hear about it.

43:10

There's a chunk of my life from, like,

43:12

fifth grade when you learn the States to

43:15

my adult hood where I'd I'd forgotten

43:17

about yesterday. So I

43:19

think that, like, that straight thing was going in

43:21

there, like, being front of that. Also,

43:22

like, the her opting out for the cheaper

43:25

radio situation -- Uh-huh. -- was something

43:27

that my parents had done in my child

43:28

now. Oh, yeah. I think I've said on this, were they Yes.

43:31

-- I had a Honda -- Yeah. -- Accord nineteen eighty well,

43:33

they had a Honda Accord nineteen eighty five

43:35

with no

43:36

radio. Yeah. Just a little plastic plate

43:38

that said Honda because it was cheaper

43:41

to get the option with no

43:42

No. So not even not a CD player,

43:44

not a tape deck. No radio.

43:46

No radio, man. So I would ride around with

43:48

a boombox. Hey, yeah. Well, I think music is

43:50

distracting when you're driving and therefore dangerous.

43:52

Yeah. Also, like, they didn't, like, listen

43:55

to, like, pop music. Like,

43:57

occasionally, like, they're on a classical

43:59

station. Yeah. Right. Like,

44:01

some NPR, the news. It was usually

44:03

the news was on, or someone would sit at a

44:05

piano and be, like, trying to fit, like, knuckle

44:08

out of It's

44:08

fine. Show a pan piece, who show that your

44:10

parents and they look like the physical

44:13

embodiment of NPR. You

44:17

know, like, that's like if they don't get

44:19

size like, NPR in human form. Yeah.

44:21

Just they were they were music

44:25

theory people, but not like not

44:27

like rock and roll. People.

44:30

So yeah. So, like,

44:32

you know, my mom is teaching music class from

44:34

kindergarten to eighth grade. My dad is

44:36

teaching at the local college. And

44:38

yeah, music everywhere but right now in the

44:40

car. Yeah. But I got music in the car.

44:42

So in high school, my buddy,

44:45

Sean Coulter, had a male jeep. And

44:47

he had he had put a a

44:49

radio in there that he'd sort of

44:51

put in himself. And and the radio had a brand

44:53

name. It was called the Sparkromatic. Now

44:56

I bought the sparkle matik off a colter

44:58

and put it in my car where I had didn't quite

45:00

fit. So you had to put, like, little pieces of wood in there

45:02

just to kinda, like, get the stance. Wait.

45:04

And it worked. Went to had it for,

45:07

like, two weeks, went to one motel

45:09

six party. Somebody

45:11

stole the

45:12

party. Jack

45:12

did. The Sparkameddude. Oh,

45:14

the Sparkameddek.

45:15

I spoke of all things.

45:17

Oh, man. What about think

45:18

that the absence of that,

45:20

the hole that it left behind, led to

45:22

your hatred of holes and why

45:24

you weren't impressed by the

45:25

great stuff. It's a good callback because you were

45:27

trying to It's trying to

45:29

Dumpster is trying to tie it all together. It's

45:31

what make the So matter. Yeah.

45:34

One thing I I did pick up

45:36

on that I remembered in the

45:38

conceiving of or the writing of the episode.

45:41

I don't remember where it came if was in the break

45:43

or if it just came when we were writing it was

45:46

the French press getting the French

45:48

press at the Italian market because that

45:50

came from a very specific I

45:53

did a road trip from Alabama to

45:55

Los Angeles. I my

45:57

high school car kinda died on me,

46:00

and so I went back to

46:02

Alabama and I bought my my mom's

46:04

car, like an old Lexus. Yes.

46:07

I was like, you know, driving across the country,

46:09

you gotta have you gotta have coffee.

46:11

Right? But the coffee at, like, gas is just before

46:13

there was a Starbucks at different exits. Right?

46:15

So the coffee, you could really only a coffee at like gas

46:17

stations and stuff like that. So

46:19

I was like, I'm gonna buy I'm

46:21

gonna bring my own coffee grounds

46:24

and bring, like, just a little personal French

46:26

press and I'll stop at

46:28

the gas station, I'll fill up, I'll go

46:30

inside, and I'll ask where the hot

46:32

water is, you know, for tea and stuff. I

46:34

would just go in the gas station and I would put

46:36

my own coffee in the French press and I would

46:38

fill it with

46:39

water. It's gonna

46:39

be a second. What's your hot water for tea?

46:42

You know, I thought what? Glenius Glenn,

46:45

shit I've ever heard. And yet, it

46:47

makes absolute sense. It does. Well, it's definitely the

46:49

thing that I would make and at the time did make

46:51

fun of you for and would still make fun of you for,

46:53

but also would love I would love to enjoy

46:55

a couple of that. Well, exactly. So it makes absolutely

46:58

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just so

46:59

particular, but it also is

47:01

fantastic.

47:01

Yes. No. It is very it is very

47:03

very glanier. Absolutely right. Adding

47:06

as many steps to my life as

47:08

possible. You know

47:09

what I mean? Like,

47:10

Rob would have just sucked somebody off for a better

47:12

cup of

47:12

content. Right. You would have just seemed like he was getting a lift

47:14

across the country. He would have let the guy

47:16

drinking espresso and then sucks. And

47:18

got the caffeine that way. That's when

47:21

the shows that as best. Like, everyone's

47:23

bringing stuff from their own lives and, you know,

47:25

you get Martin's Blueberry story

47:27

and, like, just every little things going

47:29

in there? And then do we do that anymore?

47:32

Is there anything

47:33

any piece of our That is the fear.

47:34

Right? The longer you're in the business that you're like,

47:37

Do I live enough of a life too? Well,

47:39

yes. I've thought about this a lot. Right to it. And

47:41

I'm like, I need to just, like, take a year

47:43

off and just, like, live, like,

47:45

refill you know, have stories to tell. I don't

47:47

have you know, you if you're working all the

47:49

time, you run out of stories to tell. In the writers

47:51

room, we very typically go. What

47:53

do people do? Like, that that

47:55

question

47:56

comes. Now that people What do

47:58

people do? What's the thing that people

48:00

do? Especially if you've been working

48:03

together for so long, you already know what everybody's

48:05

parents did to fuck them up. And that's what every

48:07

writer's room is. Anyway, it's like people trying

48:09

to, like, mine their history.

48:12

And try to figure out who they are

48:14

and why they are like that and then put it, like,

48:16

and view it into the characters. We've we

48:18

already know of. I hear all the secrets. Yeah. Yeah.

48:20

I know all the

48:21

secrets. Yeah. Oh, boy. They've

48:23

already gone to the show. Oh, boy.

48:25

Do you guys have any travel destinations

48:27

still on your bucket list you'd like to see before

48:29

you die?

48:30

Anything you wanna -- Before I jump

48:32

out. -- maybe the

48:34

Grand Canyon, Rob. No. No. No.

48:36

Just send the Grand Canyon. pretty awesome too much.

48:38

I'm gonna I wanna go to wanna go to Africa.

48:41

I've never been to

48:41

Africa. Mhmm. Yeah. I'd love to go to Egypt.

48:44

Yeah. I would like to go to Egypt. So definitely,

48:46

I wanna see the pyramids before I die for

48:48

sure.

48:49

A million, but I I wanna go everywhere.

48:52

Just not

48:55

right now.

48:57

Yeah. But at some point, some

48:59

point. Mhmm. Well,

49:01

the next trip we're taking is just right across

49:04

the way to the stages. You

49:06

guys are gonna

49:07

live

49:07

for the next We walked into

49:09

the bar today. And

49:12

every season since,

49:14

like, five or six. I get

49:16

a crazy sensation walking into that

49:18

bar -- Mhmm. -- where it feels

49:20

like you're home and it feels like

49:22

this place that you've lived

49:25

and that in a weird

49:27

way you also are the character

49:29

even though you're

49:30

you. I know that sounds psychotic, but, like, you've

49:33

worked there for a long time. Yeah.

49:34

If you you click into something immediately

49:36

stepping on that stage, maybe that's part of what you're talking

49:39

about. Like, you step onto the stage

49:41

and you start to feel like

49:43

you're becoming the character again or

49:45

A little bit and you feel the history of

49:47

how many years we've been working on that

49:50

stay in that set and in that

49:51

bar. There's also still the excitement especially

49:54

in the very beginning where everything's still being

49:56

put together and all the electricians are

49:58

there and they can people are there, and props

50:00

are there, and wardrobe is there, and the ADs

50:02

are there. And there's an energy to it. Yeah. It's

50:04

all coming to

50:05

me. That. But it's to me, it's like the floor

50:07

and the bar and the space and certain

50:09

little triggers like Yeah. It takes me all the way

50:11

back to the heroin examiner where we kinda

50:13

found the location and started, you know,

50:16

working on first time to all the years that

50:18

we've been there. Yeah. It's this

50:20

weird, like, other life that I've lived where

50:22

it's like I've been I've had

50:24

a life, but I've also been this person

50:26

for a long

50:26

time. Yeah.

50:27

Yeah. Weird. Sweet. I love it. You know, it's like

50:30

Well, you could really see the dust in the air, though. Couldn't

50:32

you? You guys see that? guys pick up on that?

50:34

III that's, of course, where my my

50:37

my brain goes. Interesting. I walked on the stage,

50:39

and I was just like, oh, what am I breathing? One

50:41

of my breathing. That was my first thought. Your

50:43

first thought was like, yeah, you know, there's so much history

50:46

here. So it's such a more so it's a much more healthy

50:48

thought. Well, you know, I feel that way

50:50

about movie sets, the way you feel about the

50:52

grandkids. The

50:54

magic is there for you on a movie set. The magic is there

50:56

for me and a false reality. Lady. So is

50:59

it better? I don't

50:59

know. I'm not sure. I looked at the grandkirtie.

51:01

I saw a lot of dust.
