red armageddon. He's
I was just talking about. You hide your desert coincidence
you can, but I'll do a couple I'd station,
at ease or whatever, and then you can like yeah. We used to have a couple of transition bits I think you'd be great. I got a list of the characters. I want you to do. Yeah you don't need to run up time. Do you can just kind of drop into them as I list them? I know I do need a lot of run off time. Actually, it's the worst part of it a bit of an impasse I got when I've got. I need to doing good to see you
it's so good to see you, it's really fun to have you here, it's shocking that it took. I know I know I think we talked about it years ago, yeah. I think, the very first time we were doing it. She lives
on brooklyn and I assume you are new york. I bet alot of people do that to be less and we want to see how many are put on my great nearby yea or foot away, and one of the last time I saw you is it wasn't the halloween
was it. You know. I imagine with bumped into each other, but certainly the time
hung out last was how will we yeah I'm up on Natasha apis yeah?
exactly when Natasha was here. She said when I backed out of the driveway, but did something just thought it was hot cause. It was like a dad is here to take care of us. That's what it was. She thought. Oh, this guy's, a dad. He like backs into traffic in the station
and without an you pulled out, you do you remember this, because I wouldn't have remembered that you also thought it was funny. You're like I can actually make this work as our lot of cars and the driveway
and I was just a room and then you're like as a challenge to do it and you did it yeah boy, how embarrassing for me, if I hadn't done it,
because there's nothing more embarrassing than a car accident like them
risk is so high for what so you'll think I'm one of expert. I know there's no reward and there is a huge risk. Accidents are embarrassing, as is still vague. It's your real.
stopped in every
one see, they're gonna get fell down and you can convince yourself. No one saw its ever hear screeching. They hear the impact you have to get out. If I guess, if you follow, you can like jump up and I'm just walk fast away, and even if it's not your fault, it's actually embarrassing that your cars,
dented up yeah, so someone else did it. You're still like it was my fault, but you still got this massive dent. You still are responsible to get it somewhere to get it fixed too. So it's like you immediately get a ton of homework. You're publicly embarrassed.
So much the whole day is done, but the other problem is you talk about. You repeat the same story,
over and over you haven't even realize you're doing it like. I had offended better today at a phenomenon today,
and this guy comes out of the ones getting the next person you see at the phantom menace.
It's like you man, I gotta, do you think I'm bears in my version would be like. I had a frontrunner only I what happened
It was impossible to get through this group of cars in the driveway, but I really wanted fred to think I was like burt reynolds from smoking. The bandit I dunno. Why and then I just plowed in a pinball between three of them. Now I gotta, oh, I gotta fix three cars. Two of them are mine. I wouldn't have minded that story yeah
I was visiting you in the hospital yeah you're in there was, has terminal air and I showed
I am so sorry, I'm what you should talk about. Yeah I was going to be the one who announced there was a better time with the people.
Joint, any other residents are victims of this. He dislikes cotton
then they maybe even get preoccupied like. I hope he makes it through the whole interview. I don't think I've ever heard anyone die and I kept saying that I might not make it all the kind of help I'm not making fun of anyone who has done that on here that died on here we did have someone on who was not in the best condition, but was fine, but he took breaks. I love that one though you heard that
now those rights that for me, I'm in a north like for him to be a public Y, know
when confronted in the dock, yeah and he's kind of different. He gets a pass of all that stuff anyway, because it just works for him, but I gotta say I think if I had forecast what that experience would
like. I might think, asking me really hard to keep him on track and will be.
listen or where they like it and I want to represent him really works. I admire him, but in the moment it was his beautiful adversary.
To care for somebody that I liked yeah. You love people in public. You don't ever get a chance to like kind of nurture them, and there were these moments where it's like yeah, let's take a break during some peanuts, yeah
I kept that in you kept the ones saying like do want to take a break. Do you want some eminem's and then I was very open about the fact that the highlight for me was like holy
his hand, leaving here of that party also wiped his by I please
is gained his penis
he had a little bit of the breast and these forest can. But I got that, will you really did help into the bathroom idea?
benjamin. I also did hold his hand for quite a while why we walked on the problems of pictures and they were not to his car. How old is he maybe not? Even
haven't. You know she's like in his seventy drank some disagreement between
yeah yeah. Let's just say we ve got a lotta, guess a much older than him, but is definitely the parkinson's of it all, but
and it was all those fears I had are things I would have thought would have not been good about that turned out to be like in the last five and a half years. Top three experiences was caring for phil, stutz and also
he was so vulnerable enough to say, like hey, I need to take a break once you ve done
yeah it's almost like saying. I have. I have to go p them. Ok,
just one more people again, yeah, that's really hard for me to do. Is it hard for you to do? Oh yeah I'll suffer through anything.
oh, my god, I'm so envious of people who do it so well. How do they do it? Listen. We had a moment in here and our brain
He wasn't a bunch of a month. So flattered you, listen I'll. Guy Morgana early morning I was fantastic, but when we had recruitment
so there's a moment in there that I think you're a blow your mind equally, as well as my sore about twelve minutes in and he just goes. We
turn the air conditioner donors too cold in here and I said,
blown away that I would never do that. I admire it. They white with you ass, an easier said, will look if you told me you
it very cold. I would have dressed appropriately and brought some clothes, but I Didn'T- and you didn't tell me that so I just yeah it's uncomfortable for me and I was like I could never.
We visibly on fire saint. I was once a month
As someone who was this,
in front of everybody on the set
and talking people I wish I could
I was like I don't eat. I don't know, I'm not going to inconvenience you for that. It's just not a problem. What you,
now. The basis is the foundation for some very seems very obvious about this year. It's so much of a go to to use the expression, people pleasing yeah, but
it's in there for sure and no matter how much I try to fight it and get better at it. Still it's mom.
it's like saying: can you turn the air conditioner down, and I can't or I gotta go pee so uncomfortable right now? Can we please stop all this to go? Pete just live with it. I dunno what it's from I try to get better at it or sometimes pretend to kind of be a little looser about it, but at my core I try to get through the month
not make any waves. Here's another one. What happens if you order something and its now, you
this I'm going to back myself up on okay, because this I don't see as a flaw if they bring me something that I didn't order, I'll just eat,
but not like all, but nine out of I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. It's it when I'm hungry. I do want to play
game, I know this is what I wanted to make. Is this food most likely it's gonna be?
in the realm. If I'm at that restaurant they're not gonna, bring you kimchi at the taco stand exactly the exact example. I was going to use how
but we think I always have that's our whole thing. Only thing is how
Like we are, I know it's weird cause. The only thing we have in common is that we have everything in common and then we don't learn anything. It's boring and it's so boring and we just look at each other and go that's what I wanted. The few future
we've hung out every sentence that started
is mutually started at the same time as the same. That's the problem. It's like we're not finish each others,
as we begin the same sat and then we must give up as we rise out of he was going to say, and I am saying that must be produced arrive during the way. I have a question in bringing us out of this bit brayley. It's gonna be a lot of doing that if the food comes and its cooked improperly, so you can't even I mean you could but you'd pallaby
sick! Oh, if there's a problem with yeah would use different, because that's health really right. So I just want to get sick. What have it's over?
I think that more, the more ok if its overcoat, so you really is gonna like taste goes, but you could eat any blasted and now it seems, like I'm gonna, be saying this for this piece of argument. I, like things a little bird,
tastes like cooked thoroughly. I like a little crisp,
so our guy well done. I always went away like a little so that wouldn't be a problem with each
will they do a lot of various occasion? French burns? That's the french word casual,
if you have been burned in the past, that is okay now you're going to eat it yeah and then the whole thing
something being wrong and mike were good. My thing is it by org:
something I
this is my best for an errand to. If we make a decision in the dim turn out,
now you gotta live with. It would be too embarrassing to acknowledge that you may be sure,
the decision to begin withers against it wastes more time. Yes, like christian roots
an items and I'm so impressed from my eldest, where the thing I don't like cause, I ordered it now and then and then we're done. Then we get to go home
I don't want the night to turn into like than there was this and no disrespect to kristin, I'm more talking for her about like internet yeah, but even the
and if I order some from the internet- and it's not what it looks like I just go- that's on me. I shouldn't have brazil after miss
think about this product and for the convenience of it. Of course, there's going to be like. Oh, this is so not what I pictured. I wonder if there is a new phase of garbage that people are like. This is not what I wanted it's too much to return it
start away, they must be more young or what's happened,
here and first I'm embarrassed admit this. Clearly, I'm wasting a lot of money, that's obvious in the statement, but I think it's your luck,
if your goodwill in you live within a couple miles,
my house, because their guinea,
so much stuff, you don't throw it away, but it goes into the goodwill pile and it's just like brand new stuff going there. All that. I can't believe I said dude, but there's one on san fernando that I go to because they have a really good drop off and
these suit jacket somewhere
real serves ass man, yea shoes, all kinds of stuff, also, sometimes I feel like some weird
and I mean by someone you know, but some company.
I like yours, the new star wars, fashion book or something bass. But do you not have this fear so that happens to me as well. People send me nice stuff, but I just don't want him and then I send it to goodwill yeah better than throwing it away, and then I have this insane fear. How could this happen? I think
gonna find out. I gave it to now I've read about this because I had the same conundrum and I've read that it's actually okay
you did your job like they did their job by giving you a gift of their done, the other clean, and then you accepted it and what happens from there is ok with the universe that helps, but I get so scared there.
to see the item at the goodwill store. That is not going to have it's not gonna. It's so not gonna happen. If, by the way, let's say I gave you something, you know
found something in some other country, and I gave it to you and then somewhere I find out that you got rid of it. I would never be hurt. I'd be like oh, I don't know
I get you again, that's a thing from Sweden how we have it. What if you had found
Is this going to change his life? What have you had really high expectations? I wouldn't have that expectation. What about from a romantic partner cause? That's higher stakes, that's different, and
You just keep right. You just have to yeah and that's okay. I think there's space for that then also close friends, they're just meaningful things I'll find something from mick Jagger. Have you thrown anything away from mick jagger nope? It's a lot of the stuff he's given
me is not tangible. Anyway, it's been like trips, mostly can emotion. I guess there's no exit throw that away. You that's what I say: memories of more
I don't know why, through that name, what's interesting about agony those, its tricky cause because
You were on sale for eleven years. You probably have met mick Jagger. I know he hosted once and has been in a bunch of events yeah, but the jump to like he gave me gifts a little. But that said, all of those experiences I'm still blown away. That's an exaggerated lifestyle to have met
all those people, you don't even know what to compare it to like me, really editor of vanity fairly. What are their occupation? Would you have real human just caught his job as the same? I can't think of one, but we have our people say here and only in they draw any power trolls year lion printing and you will I get that a lot of
me mean yeah, I'm sure I've done and somehow podcasts start going. We stop there on our ally. When I heard I very I remain covers a pike. I thank you
they went over added it out. I wore a shirt just for you and then ask become too hot so long.
get off and you didn't really noticed so from now. Moving on shelter or that's beautiful doesn't ring a bell. That's a club
while there is shelter in detroit at St Andrews but shelter was a hari krishna punk band that I thought for sure you would have been too hot for a long sleeve shirt. This was just for your benefit, but it didn't happen. It looks great, oh for those of you not watching there'll, be some photos filmed out, but you know what happened as I was reading about you today, and you gave me this crazy gift today, which is it wasn't even about your band? You are
talking about your band and at the same time there is another band tortoise who had no lyrics and twenty minutes songs and that they had just blown by trench mouth, and I went oh my
torrent is I fucking loved toward is, and I went
back in the whole time I was research in you. I was released in the two millions now alive and now die. How did I forget for the last fifteen years that I loved toward yeah? Isn't that nice, when that happens, when ass, theirs, music there? This was a big part of my,
wife enormous, like to the point where I was like. Is there something wrong with my memory that have spent hours and hours and hours with that? They still tour? Oh wow, they still put out records and they're friends of mine since that time, and I like that, we're all getting older, I can sit with them and that isn't a thing anymore. It's not hovering above me, like you, guys
got to tour europe, like everyone turned out to be safe. It all worked out, so I like that feeling there's degrees of it. It's not like you have to actively dislike them or be jealous of.
But just they are a reminder of where you'd like to be in your not just that simple reality compounds things a little bit the
it stays alive is now I think past tense, and I thought I would have
nice to have been an tortoise. Aha, although I love my experience of my band and there still my friends I wish there was where could have been in both that would have changed. Everything obviously want that's. What's up
so far about getting older. As you look back and you know, it will have had gotten what I wanted or please
Actually I would have not pursued comedy you're. Acting, that's exactly right right. If you're tour with tortoise in Europe, that's a damn good life you're, not really longing for a whole bunch
at that point now and I would keep taking the next gig wetter
It was in the ham, one of the drums for tortoise, so yeah, that's one of the six drops when I go through this thing in ITALY and I'm gonna I'll just continue on which again is a great life for everyone in tortoise, but you've now met
jagger, presidents and president's presidents, gm does so yeah obama must have come right before he was elected on. How have you met
didn't we interviewed obama and we interviewed Hillary. She wasn't a president, but she should have and should have been, that's it as far as we go. How does this all work- and this is kind of a people- pleasing thing where, like today,
you had to sit here with me in a good way like this is part of europe get to do you get too, but the fact that you had to go through
we talk about towards is that she is that a laborious.
Part of your day we're like who's this guy, not at all sincerely that not even after were like five years into it. Maybe seven hundred eight hundred interviews in actually when I sit down today, I'm like oh, this is so fond. Here's a person I've now now I think I've met you, you and remember, but in two thousand and five I did a movie with will our net we learn. It took
it s a now that really I mine blowing, I mean I remember you being arrested regularly, had dreamt of being
and ass in all cats members? Why went to the ground so to be there and then I met you and you are very, very nice, completely unforgettable. How kind you are?
an inclusive because I'm also there thinking like why did make it here. Everyone else did, but I'm here,
it's so anyways. I kind of love it when a friend is on, because our younger way of learning a bunch about a friend that I wouldn't have thought, maybe otherwise ass. He does all towards thing like we ve now before I had no idea. How does it come up? Even I forgot. They were my favour band. I beheld three out of there are good, but we,
so don't have anyone on who we don't want to talk to, because we do so
I'd? But I knew we do. What is its own funny thing?
because more often than not the person I dont want interview, I end up loving met interviewed the most and that's. Why compare this room to like a? I never will
When I go to a meeting, but I've never driven home from a meaning, a map unhappy. I went there some magic there. I can actually learn. Oh I interrupted him,
It separate the track by the way you delay the show, because that is what we do. Who does the editing by the way we have a clean up at it or come in at first, and she does do a lot of that and then I come in for content stellar job. Whoever does the clean up its specific there's stuff, I mean I could tell that someone is paying attention, know it's tedious,
that's good, that's so clean! I like it. I had at one of our other shows in what I like is its instantly gratifying. You take the sentence that took thirty one seconds and you make it twenty four seconds involves, and it's perfect here you at it. You ever foreground protocols of me,
the gleaming with music a little bit, but never video have been on some interviews and all clear. My throat, like they'll, take it out
they don t mind like do. I have to say something before reviewed your publicists turn in a list of at its after you left every place. I bet you. There are people who,
when I obviously aren't equipped to do that, but people who do it yeah we could shit our pants on the microphone and just be like well. I deserve leave that leave it in anyway. That's really good to know when I was going to say about having people on it. Just happened to you. You had to book someone
I remember on esa, we would have hosts or athletes, and I don't know anything about athletes and they turned out to be the best. I love them so much because they just want
in the world? It's the same kind of feeling, and then you leave like an enormous fan of them right. Absolutely! Okay, now back to you so the things I learned today about you that I find very interesting and I'm going to make you talk about publicly is first of all, maybe the most.
Citing twenty three may result of any one of interview, yeah right, very interesting, your parents. I did the so called finding your roots, and they really do.
research I asked them how they did it neat little church records LAO. They really get into your family, my
mommy's venezuelan, I'm first generation american. Can I ask really quickly what age did she move? I think her first year in college, she moved from Venezuela to mississippi. There was a program there for foreign students and she was like attracted to the show business of america. My dad is german, but his mom is german. His dad was slash,
is japanese. What I found out on the show is he's not he's korea. What cuba
this everywhere, I laugh uneasy. I haven't grandfather and I even walked around going like activism, japanese wade's, my ask that my into you very clean self availing problem here and then not the case, and the reason is back then koreans it's in the kiss the Japan get educated, but there was so much
racism against koreans in Japan that he was like change his name and welcome japanese, how about it
dancer. He's a choreographer han Kehl state fullerton. He ever what fifteen years rationalizing humming seventy five, my genes, dance YAP, is avant garde, dancer,
wow. What an interesting person to have been born in korea, educated in japan, live in germany, come to the states as a professional dancer teach dance. Did you have a relationship with him a little bit? He visited a couple of times his very interesting, but he had kids all around the world. We did
well yeah yeah. So when your answers are so sexual
While we would get mail from different places, a hammer I'm here
or I'm your brother because of clooney, oh, my
we bear japanese, yes, that's the name. He picked yeah family members all over the place.
any of their. Yes, you have a danish courts.
An uncle visited recently brianna first time little skeptical sometimes cause now you're famous, and are you ever wondering are people just reaching out because of that
seemed instantly real just from I would see a picture and also as we got talking, you know you could just
how you, like others, is a real conversation right. That's all
There were other mining for your show me now, like denmark or wherever there at a distance from the than unimpressed by as right. Nor should
Maybe now they showed that the wrong it started. Nineteen, seventy five and was one of the first ride with you, the longest running owing to launch the careers of over sixty five around you ask armenians,
he alive when you figure this out. Oh no, no he's pretty old, but he died somewhere in the nineties. He's very mysterious. You just wasn't around my grandmother, Gabriela german woman, fascinating character. This is nazi germany. She hooked up with
someone who is clearly not german, not aryan, and she dated a bunch of guys at the time of it's going to be too confusing I'll. Do it, though, when she had my dad, she was actually dating someone else, who's dating a persian gentleman. He named my dad. My dad's name is very dumb
and he went by fred as well. Yes, when I got the name ferry done, we both changed it when we were here and were like, let's keep it simple, but anyway she's really interesting. She was a smoker
yeah, so that kind of german yeah yeah. We have the oh god after the war thing she did. How did dad get to the states? Did your grandma moved to the states know on his own? He went to the same college as my mom in mississippi. Yes, that's where they met okay. Now this is interesting because his mother, as his wonderful explorer
appetite yes and in the dad is a professional dancer. Yes, sire and children all over the place and he works at ibm b. How
I guess, that's the kind of rebellion, exactly you go in the opposite direction of your parents, younger,
Bela worker ibm forever classic business
replace suit cup of coffee
suburban complaining about the commute as regular
as you can imagine, trying to guess the car. Let me try to remember first, won't help if I guess and you're not sure what it was, I'm remembering my little kid one and then I'm thinking of two cars. Okay, it's going to be hard, then it sounds like, but I'm guessing in the late
seventies may seventies. Ok right we're gonna go early. So when you go early seventys on picturing something while early seven, these I'm gonna go with appalling at catalina, now a volkswagen.
Beadle wow, I couldn't have been more off base. Why was that a nod to his mother's german? It's not common for people to drive veto bugs in the seventies like, let's keep it small
simple design error, I got you and then what did he
switch to was the other car, a white camera, a departure from the bug was it a mid life crisis? Was
having an affair, maybe
He still lives by. Let's just say that my parents split up, ok and then he got the camaro camaro was before the harbinger. It didn't feel like that. It didn't feel like tough guy stuff. Ok, I will say it felt a little bit more like this. Is,
people by. If you want to do it, or that was the it was, it was a reasonable option to get a picture. My grandpa,
yeah that, because I do have some questions for you like having a venezuelan mother and half korean and half german father when you were growing up, did you feel, like you looked other yes, but
The town I grew up in in long island was very italian american, don't we think you could maybe pass for that? I do think so. People knew me enough that they knew that. I wasn't italian okay, and also I didn't have that.
farmers long island access long island had that on friday, arms more than brooklyn just to shape it? For me,
Oh my. Why of course
that's how dancer alot of people, the latter, pregnant and art, see enough
forty years that is our valiant artsy of ease back to the utmost. Did you feel other cause? I have some kind armchair overarching fury what you're brilliance as a communing is. I have a whole opinion about. I feel like some of it might start here I felt other. When I looked in the mirror. I see everyone else's family and they don't look like me.
Right now im that big sunday dinner offered based. I don't have that experience,
if I gather around the four and a half hours to eat, but when I started thinking about, was it difficult for me? I gotta say on long island I experienced,
no racism. No one gave me a hard time. I had friends, they knew my parents. There was zero issue, so that was sort of in my own head. I felt other, but no one was like that's weird or what's that language, you speaking, that is what's very curious about
women's is I'm often talking to somebody who is, or minority and I'll hear how much they're connecting with that otherness, and then it feels like maybe some kind of white privilege or denial that I'll try to mention that a lot of people feel other like. I think it's a human condition. It's obviously much more compounded when you are
literally other birds on weird it does is how we are. I think everyone feels insecure and may be different from the your friends because of this or that
the sense of otherness because of something you have absolutely zero control over and never can
and right in his visuals for sure hand cause stronger, but I do think it's human nature to go like everyone's in on something know for most of the time. Even if you look like everybody else, there's like yeah, but there
having was those right right right on the barbie movie when Margo Robbie is heavy siena. I haven't seen its great. I will. I will use the in moves in a decade ago
and if you can't anymore, I'm gonna budget out, she has this monologue and she's, basically saying that I don't feel pretty and they had to build in a voice over. That comes in
it says for the recognize. When making this point Margot robbie wasn't fasting, it's clearly a fix to the clearly tried to pull that off in the may, we're watching it and going like no one's going to ever look at her and feel any sympathy said Margot Robbie herself, I'm sure as at times there in life or she doesn't like the way she looks and doesn't like something. It's just like objectively there's a difference,
the problem is those like when you look at what the impact is. That's relevant, so I won't say his name, but there's an actor recent.
Wait? Who is the prettiest man to ever live? Who has completely changed his face dramatically and when I can tell from that as a god, despite what we all think he does
not see it, which is creative, amazing. So if I give someone takes it that far, I am inclined to believe bay. I really feel like an equation. I mean I mean with. I think they do. It just feels is different from the outside. When
there's some one else is looking to her. Unlike oh no gale,
like pulls her eyepatch and then falls over yeah, no offense. We should make that clear, beautiful and we should have started with that. You and I both have several ipad yeah. I had to at the same time for awhile for two different reasons: two different but similar reasons, those people who you think have that aesthetic as you get to know them, you're like oh, they absolutely are other their experience and how they got there. I will say I now can look back and go like what was I thinking, I'm the most prototypical like I'm, six, two and white blonde hair and blue
he's. Yet if you look at all my actions, I did not feel invited to join the football team, and still, I would think that you or on world you know has. I think we are removing that of young S or even with your confidence. That is where it's like. I do have a huge luxury, yes
admit it like? When I go into a studio studios, I'd like to direct this movie, they think I can go
it's a true there is, I know, intellectually, that's through it doesn't mean like emotionally, has I'll find out that way growing and they would never admitted they ain't all now they know now genuinely dont know it.
to arm chair, diffused air
ok, so the reason. I wondered that as someone asked me, why do you think
Fred is so brilliant. I know you a hearing the stuff, but I'm just gonna tell you you're not act. All time favorite comedians our vital, authentic lee, unique and wonderful, and I love your car
many and I always have. If I had to explain what I thought was need about it or specific about it. Is that you have this incredible uncanny? I do observe self indulgence.
And then expose it? I think that's like a through line of all your characters from tommy,
I have to tell you have jewish,
hundred per cent neurotic? The indulgence of a one man show fucking acting like a child as bullshit as artists. Do there's something that to me screams, I'm other and I can see what's happening, I think when you're inside and you feel very a part of you kind of lose objectivity of what makes every one of these little niches. So bizarre yeah. The only word I can think of is the
duration, the want to be part of something so that, when I think of people,
one man shows I'm thinking of a type marietta. It is, of course, a million great, once a million grey was swimming to Cambodia, vagina monologues and then there's a lot of folks Tommy prometheus yeah, which is kind of sweet
its endear is enduring but they're like I'm in a two. I'm doing we play that on a fact check. Before we played the having rules our old times, we yeah- I guess that's, why would say you're one of my favorite means I think more of your bids are active in my life all the time. Another one is christian. I regularly embed try to do that. I mean that's the thing. Have you ever known?
here's the thing that I always say? You never finished his son. You just keep shocking yourself with this new realization and poverty.
Can I hate hearing about like no?
Please! Don't it's hard to respond to those in a well to say thank you, but is that easy for you again we're so identical so identical? We told you that we're like even I was Hell rat s right. I would actually like to alike human.
alike really one of these guys should we do a double met? Commercial
will you direct it? Oh my god look. I thought, how could I not fucking talk so little stupid people who are like I'm in it too seems like a good area and it could even come from,
the fact that when I was a musician- and I felt like I was struggling, I even had that element of like I'm in a band I'm in this sub. I identify with all gimme a break. Yes, another affinity I have. For years I had a good friend
Why not brent champ and Ella? He happened to be the best musician. We knew, but he also happened to be the funniest person. We knew in our circle and he could do tons of impersonations and he was
so artistic he use perform.
any was kind, and he all these wonderful things and what is, on the surface very bizarre that
were musician for so long and then god into this in such a bizarre way to me
a lot of sense, because I do feel like all the dunes I hung up within the punk rock, had a real affinity for cod,
comedy, and I don't know why. I know exactly what
because a lot of my friends were that way. I believe we could have in any of us could have gotten on us and I definitely
really really funny people who also got me into comedy? Who would show me videos or bans that were sort of comedic in their actual military use? It surfer whole surf. Yes, definitely emanates in the fuckin title of the band yeah. I
everyone knows the whole story, though so Louisiana retired, about it. So your first a musician, you get out a high school. You go to the school of visual arts yeah in Manhattan. That's not for you not for me, but I went actually to find musicians. I was acquitted bans. Do they mean each other
art school and I did a matt damon locks through became the singer of transmission. He had moved
you chicago for schools. I just went with him. Why do you have to go back to chicago chance
schools all you got to the art institute. He still my friend, you follow them. There were to stay in the band, and so this is what age early twenties, maybe twenty?
One thing is my third year in college, the math raid on the year. That would be all right in assuming you graduated eighteen. I graduated at thirteen your of undercut- oh yeah. Oh my goodness unexplained,
without testing. They just looked at me, though I do, but anyway, so I went to sleep. I was in a band and even though I ve talked about that, it was hard and we didn't make it toward incidents roared and when we re region, I would you
at St Andrews or the ST andrews- and there was one other place university of Detroit- had shows a place called the grounds for for willis wait. What was that one? Four o four willis? I think that went this
I put on shows there there were all ages and was it in the case
shitty, fuckin, burnt up parted and try. Something is telling me:
it was more like rural. I just think I must have seen you to be honest: there's no one winter. Whatever show was plain every weekend. What seen Andrews it would have been jaw box or it might have been brainy act and drawbacks saw both bans. Yeah, we play a michigan. All the time
even though we weren't as big as tortoise, I gotta say we had really good times a drummed, a lot from talking into microphones. I think I got something from it and I still love drumming and then my friendship with the band. So then that band broke up, and then I was kind of
like when am I gonna do I went to south by southwest and my wife at the time had a video camera. I was like I'm going to do these interviews with bands as different characters at south by southwest yeah. This is ninety. Nine
The reason I had the frustration is because at supper southwest there are these talks about how to make it
your ban on the radio- and I was so frustrated- is no signs to the eye. I was at a low point, so there's a little bit of like yeah aigner. I try to keep it jovial. I didn't make fun of anyone directly, but I just did interviews different.
Actors, interview, bands and stuff
in german as german journalists, because they are very rude? They think? They're being honest that they say terrible things to you like, why was something that's happened to me in my music days, where they would be like. Oh, your group is not so good
You pleasure,
and there's only a few people here, but last week fugazi played and it was sold out. So I did a bunch of those and another friend of mine just sort of edited together and then I had this tape and the fact that I made this tape got in the local music paper. Also, I'm going to add that culture which part of what I like so much about his stuff, just spreads so fast. Yes, it's like there was a zine and then everyone had the zine, and then there was this funny. Video and everyone had that, yes, pre internet
I'm happening on the internet via the internet
we of our sponsors, so yeah so internet. I just want to say thank you for all the weather's like traffic and just researched. Thank you so much twenty four hours a day, always on always so it's sort of started making the rounds. This tape, and I would
copies of it I'll just put a little label on it, and then I started showing it at clubs in chicago new york, l, a and all of a sudden. That's what I was
doing I didn't have a ban, but also in this video so would be like a ship,
Basically we are having to watch the then Elisha and I'd say a few things in the beginning, and then I started getting gigs off of it. Do you remember what it felt like?
to receive attention for that versus music. It was surprise in the speed if my band put out a record the amount of campaigning pleased right about the record. This was just a team that wasn't even out and the fact that the chicago reader had this big article about this tape. Oh wow, so it was the speed that I was like. Oh, this is what it feels like to gently go at something also making people laugh. I remember the first time it had
winning at the groundlings. When I start doing, shows yes- and I just remember thinking whoa ma'am, mrs, is as good as a human can feel. It is and also shocking in it's way, because you don't expect it such a strange feeling. These are just bits we didn't van right so from there. I just kept getting gigs from it like h, b, o wanted me to
You people on reverb, some music show, and I just kept going kept going. While the minutes are doing life stuff, I moved to allay so to do
not long ago and just along the way I just kept growing and growing right up until esa. Now, how did you get esa now from the outside? Your expect
everyone there is either bennet second city groundlings, you c b. I had done a bunch of stand up at largo and then bob owning Kirk put me on his pilot, so called next from that pilot, it was me doing characters.
The tape from a manager at the time to send as now and they watched it and then they brought you did you have the floor
miss audition in front alone. I had audition at the u c b as like a little club thing and then went back and I did it at the studio. Did you have any
insecurities in your first few years there that all these people had come from the sky.
Writing background. No, that was ok, ok, good, they made me feel welcome and I was already there so it didn't feel like what are you doing here so that parliament so bad indeed
think in some weird way that being in a band was great practice for being a cat,
member there. I think I'll give. You came in ass, a stand up, that's a rough transition. I just want to tell them look for people have been in bans,
because you were to share and support, and especially, if you're, a drummer, you're sort of in the back
you're playing along new making noise and fascist and there's something about it. That makes
centres. Senses a band member, including the bad, shows
have a show that no one shows up it don't work here. Then you gonna turn than the next ones great. So it is really great. Training yeah
and you practice that shared
failure which has sought all this time? The
ass, I think we will have not performed a lot would find it impossible to believe that there is probably more
on the other side of a huge sting,
there is a huge fear with people in my my yes, yes, if you press the interpreters brutal, but you know no, you that's. It is also a good talking point when you reminiscing yeah, I'm fucking assess the first thing you talk about as I do. Member that's gonna be
skype it in such a funny way. Several talk about how a sketch dies and you go rather audience
clearly there not really here and then they live
but something else they there there
watching that wasn't the problem. Not the night was yours gets. Did you have those eggs?
this is where you just had things that felt like a fuckin grey
slamming. Then you got onstage erasing of not everyone. Here knows how unique funny,
maybe that, because the less than half of all the time that happen and this times where you did something at dress rehearsal and then an air is when it dies, but it balances out than we had something worked. It is a huge surprised that you had no idea right
of your barely confident about, but I love it, I'm glad there's an ego check because for a while, you do fall into emma,
yeah what did some other? Where does this is gold mine? You haven't even mean too, I was a musician. I just ended up here. What even worse, I guess my brain just works this week after week it was probably the healthiest thing. Not every thought is brilliant,
last night. You could sit down for a minute that whole time. I love every second over every difficult,
part of it was it hard to, because I would imagine just to your point of tortoise and then that is minus
as recently visited working, I'm happy to just here did is forever
I remember, Amy polar telling me you'll know when it's kind of time to wrap it up. It's a feeling and it's not a bad feeling. Did you feel like? I think I said it. I think I said what I wanted to
say and this nothing owing to had undertaken? We repeating at best repeating at
have already done and I might need to be in a different context to evolve. Yeah. It's definitely sad, but then Amy also
me that Lauren will always be in my life and that's an hour always been my life. I go back over time
you're like an end. This sounds ridiculous, but it's true you're like a navy seal and that maybe seals stop being an active duty, but they'll die as a navy. See
right. You are that forever,
so. Cool is called just getting to see all those people in the middle.
Parliament, is weird because ice and not identify
the military it I just didn't understand, but now- and I see old, guys with metals- I'm I understood
like if I had it s, an l metal for sure
I'm eighty and like I served, and I was due to end december- I did the digital store now the first digital short to any name. I get it well and not to belittle what
service, men and women do, but the stakes are fuck and high
That is actually bonding in a way that nothing else combined yeah together live tv, yeah insane. But it's rare that people experience that kind of elevated snacks. I've never lost on me and I still watch it all the time. I still get the feeling
even the nervousness when I see a new case members in their finding their footing. I love it the thing I would we
most because it is one of the sadness as I have with so much gratitude about gotten to do what I'm gonna do. It was the thing I was trying to do and I never got to do it s now and I just
think about it. Just short those reunions like every fifteen year whenever they have something I everyone shows up to feel the do that I could almost cried thinking about what that would feel like a man for the fortieth. First,
I know you know this. You ve done grey,
I I know that I know that you know and also for what it's worth you're in the mix of whatever that is. You also had it with the groundlings just cause: it's not snl on this level that is ubiquitous in your own microcosm. There are people who are like
never had that or I wish I had that weird thing. I weird thing I was saying about: will seals are like yeah? Go like in the groundlings that to me feels gratis weigh up there, but I wasn't,
I know. I know. That's not what your point I wasn't ever trying to be a movie star. I wasn't trying to be an actor. I was trying
we get answered, I mean we could get you on. I did have one nice moment I'll, be self indulgent for a moment laura and produce baby mama. Then there was one moment it wasn't during the principal photography, but we came back to do reshoots and hanging on set and Steve Martin's there. So now he's there all day, cause of course, they're friends
Lauren just looks at me one time he goes, I'm just sharing the you never have to serve your time on serenely, Lauren hay and I was like I'm gonna. Take that that's about as good as it's going
yeah for me and I really loved or did it in your brain, oh god yeah I can see he was standing right in front of a ball pit inside of this kid's zone. We were shooting in, but I noticed you didn't.
Say that you want to be unnecessary. I never wanted to ban ass now, what's wrong with us, and what did you think you ought to do it? You c b? I wanted to be an friends that was my
My vote me on an ensemble sitcom from day one, and I knew that was gonna, be the ral, because one
measures that I guess I gotta do improv to get any comedy job out here. That's. Why did that and then that had its own life through, you are aiming at a sick. Come a hundred percent positive funny work
you're in many areas the civic and ensemble set com. If you like a lot of equality and everyone had their own thing going, I always wondered how people end up on something like the announcing that there is a type of person wants it. That's what I'm going to exact, I always thought of them, as they were all comedians and aunt em how they got cast, and it just happened. I think that's ray we're all proof of this. The thing you are
I mean for you, don't normally get you get something completely different. It could be way better. It could be that you're trying to be in tortoise and then your own fucking, so there's no predicting it and you want to be on friends.
and I got on year on year, while industry secret they
someone's money contractor I'll wait
Mr, they may. I was told up to a million dollars in episode now I've high. Let's go
hypermarkets are inadequately agreement as a cast like you're right here would have been gmos.
And a hologram prevent a helicopter dropped from the helicopter into no idea, yeah yeah, because this is back in the days of networks. How might we I did hear this word since in the zone of others indicates an occasion. I think that's how its per now, I was told
it was syndication run might need to look at edit, that that is where all the money comes in. Oh okay, I was listening to the episode with the guy from air bnb,
so he breaks down in a way that my brain doesn't work. That way, though streaming were again a powerful. I just don't have that vocabulary. I can't reach for those words that quickly the technical staff and the ability to really
besides it into one uniform little its imbros. I think that's what most people took from that up. I heard so many people say he just nailed exactly what's going
with the industry in a way that no one in the industry is able to know when it's true yeah. I could solve it though,
we love, for you decided addendum that I think
can be removed and a hundred and seventy
the strike and then I'm six kicks ones. We can remove addendum five. That's the main point that they not only as the only wise, because
two dozen nine before streamers at its base, that does what apple tv was that's. The problem is with an eye.
Actions or we knew the trojan horse. It was there, though you like music anyway. The fortieth anniversary that I had
Those warm feelings where people in the hallway voices was so familiar to me. I heard Dana Harvey or mike myers Jane curtain. It just filled by ears, its heartbreaking phil
man couldn't I've been there. Wouldn t be one of the has you just love never met him. This is such a dumb thing to say, but I can't we hope gigantic. That tragedy is I now, why think of like completely senseless and pointless? Absolutely
so bizarre. Yet everything about can do in like tragedy. Befalls comedians also some kind of disconnect real it will all now. I would like to go on with his wife. What do you mean she's dead or he wasn't like a controversial comedian, knowing where we would have leading ironing and people got really none of that a sketch comedy guy one of the people that I think I must compare again. This is all from the outside. You could have a totally different experience, but what I feel like I've observed, I
compare most to martin short for you, because marilla art to me has always been an enigma specially the air I grew up watching sorry live
was the funny as and then he was in a lot of my comedies, I loved in the eightys as a kid, and then he just
seemed to have this very loose relationship with show business and
after ble haughtily I've gotten to, as I'm sure you have
be with him in real life yeah and he is so content and even tempered in harmony with everything and yes having fun. He doesn't when he wants to, but he doesn't care and then, when he does events, he really works at it. It's such a perfect balance of professionalism and looseness digital
jesse tv yeah, so I'm about when he was on that show another one world whose that guy, yes, he also physically seems so different or big time.
Medically. What is that here? What is he the head to toe funny, you're funny, but also not goofy, looking like, of course
I a comedian, do some. I wasn't hamming it up. You know hamming it up. It's almost like if there is a presidential prize or like a nobel prize or something that's like hey, let's give it to that guy. Who really always makes everybody laugh by the way
the thing about hanging out with him in person. Forget it to me when one of the funniest people I've ever met in their entire life. I've been around a lot of very funny people and I feel just fine in those situations and when I've been talking to him, I thought let's just leave the comedy to him right now. Yes,
emma gaining those kinds? Fine, he is just the best he's was like the bob dylan of comedy your son.
in the way that everyone now is still like. Bob dylan Bob Dylan comes up so much in conversation and he's made really no effort to perpetuate that. No he's not on tiktok sure enough. If he comes around on tour, it's a real event. All the real people wanna go see him. Am I wrong about that when I look at you, because it's very flattering when I knew that comedy was going to be where I was going for me- was more like rick moran us, where I was
the person on that show who did all those characters are, even if I thought bigger, I would say like MIKE myers.
the way he wasn't us and now, and he really committed to characters and lived in those carriage something in there any spent
a tremendous amount of time, building them out when he would do a movie. I that's what I was going for. I just watch on there then I thought it seems. Freds get her.
really healthy relationship with this whole thing, which is like you love to go play with people, and you obviously like to have your own life aside from
well, yeah and you do seem to have this crazy balance is an intentional. I think it all does go back
when I was in a band round like. I cannot believe I got this far and then whenever have an experience I feel like. I can't believe I'm here cause. It looks like a cliche of the thing that I imagined so
sometimes I think of when I was on as an hour and I've been a sketch of bill playing liberace and he's vincent price. I'm like this. What s now
It's like. Yes, you just feel like you're out of body watching yeah sketch you saw when you were young yeah and then Paul mccartney or the white stripes come by and I'm like. Well, it's a hallway,
like in the movies yeah
and living in a way I'm not from here, but am I oh say
let us have a car and driving on sunset boulevard young for were air control of its size, and I like it, I like that care. Can you me to even when they have a couple of action,
yeah,
So it's wild. I wonder if part of it is. I don't know that I'll ever believe it, which is like a fun zone to live and yeah. I like that too, because that's more towards death, when you can be like, did that really happen,
right likely not available
european awake. Yes,
a no go! Grandpa, where, where are those big stars, flew first class and they recognize to be remind yeah grandpa that metal on one
Lastly, I want to ask you about his. You spent considerable time
growing up in long island living in manhattan for obviously I'm living in l, a living import. One tell me how the cities are different and if you live there did they not feel different cause? I gotta say they feel so different to meet some us hard to imagine what c portland is a big part of my life in that carries the
is there who I was on profoundly with. I still have a place in their eternal tunnel solomon
yet right, there's no other way to think you said you have like the most intimacy possible in a relationship in no physical. Anything here is that been nerve racking for you, though,
just admit my own shitting us. I've had a hard time
loving someone and respecting them with out this like well them romance has to be next. The problem is: where does that first move come in, you know like I'm, going to roll in to make out your nine that's too vulnerable. It makes sense. Is that I'm saying it's a good enough exchange that this other thing that I have is fantastic. It's so intimate that there's no stress right, but is it threatening for your romantic partners? No! Never! It's never been an issue. Oh no! How about hers same same? Oh, that's! Wonderful! Yeah! Where did you guys me, and you heard drummer
Kenny's drummer in the nineties, so we had a lot of mutual friends and then we met like two thousand and three or so in new york and she's. You she's the musician who, because my favorite band- oh really always leader, kenny without a doubt, rally favorite of all time: oh yeah, yeah, wow and then you become comedic partners. Yeah again, that's not possible
grandpa way. Guy, that's what I'm saying exactly ran out. My record collection, reclaim comedic partners. We were close it
I
but it was the portland. Were you going there to go work with her yeah we
that and we knew we should do something together. It's the weirdest thing: celestial, let's steal, lasted this long as we're like. Whenever this is: let's do it sure enough till they worked port worked portlandia right when I watched it, I like
it's that thing I love about fred, which is this exposing the self indulgence in the self importance, and all these things, and it's just it was so tasty. Why does she have the same comedic point of view as your one, at least that works, so I dunno about the. Why of it, but it's the same viewpoint that is kind of not making fun of it. It's that we are it a little bit as well.
Course was you probably ketch yourself doing summoning all now we got a right that that's mostly with it. So this is not a guy.
example, as is almost like cliche now, but if we were making fun of recycling other
We just have been, and then we did a sketch about it, but in our houses sure enough. There's no, these different bands that we separate everything and and it's kind of thing, and even when I buy things it's always whatever it looks,
sort of home grown now. I know a lot if I see sustain our sucker, you like, if it's a paper bag, wrote this
I'll be in a coffee. It's that kind of thing we are aligned in that viewpoint and so funny because she's, not a comedian, I mean she is, it can mean, but she was
in stand up or any of that stuff right in a weird way. She wasn't tarnished by having pursued comedy, which is it's own weird experience, yeah and she's, just great at it anyway. So you're asking about portland los angeles is like the ultimate
thing on the hill. I love the city so much. Oh, my god, this wonderful! What do you love about it, just the sort of dreaminess of it? I like
that one I'm driving around there's. So many young people
they ve all arrived there all so excited to try this. Yes, armies homework, bluely depressed by it, of course, but there is a palpable energy to be around
people with hope in dreams make stuff, but the starbucks here I mean they're, so specific you can't get what you get an ally starbucks at any other stars.
since the country as it is only people with their laptops working on scripts exclusively. Let's
this role. You will never be receiving a service from somebody who isn't also an actor.
representing your account and here as in summary, eight or production, it's so true and so many levels, but would the dreaminess
well? This is another thing I don't want to give away where you are or anything like that, but, like I drove in and there's christian in the distance by a pool and go ahead,
If she's talking to you too, he might not have seen. I didn't see she's with Darcy. What a wonderful hollywood thing it's like her ex costars are in there shooting the shit, something about the distance to LA or somewhere like a player wearing an altman movie or something from here I'll, go home, I'll drive down, you'll, look at the observatory, your genius and when it gets kind of chilly at night, there's like palm trees. You see the silhouette I should recommit to buying into it ebbs and flows for me yeah. For me, it's always if I connect to something old like when I was at the farmer's market. The other day I was walking to my car, and I saw the hollywood sign which I drive by all the you know. Obviously it's just like white noise at this,
wait you there was a specific way. The car as part I could remember when I first moved my roommate and I were like hunting down
The hollywood sign not aligned in was like thirty minute, walk of us trying to get a tiny glimpse of it, and I was like I live. I can see
hollywood yeah. It's like this bizarre
or you have a moment yeah and it's beautiful, but you have to click in. Yes, it has to sort of come to you. I remember my dad would take me here
for a vacation cause. I wanted to go to universal studios or something you know, there's looking for a motel and stuff like that, so that part of it to have like a I actually there's a place I can go to. Yes, I've only lived in detroit in here
the culture so insanely different. Despite it all being
same country, and I will say the first four years, I can't stand it and then in an infected meat.
It wasn't till I would go home or I go. Oh I dunno. If I love this part of home and slowly I was like. Oh, it happened like he got me
we totally in l, a person yep, it's vastly different, something about the food and
enough to new you're eating, avocados and stuff all year round and tacos and stuff and michigan is pretty great though, and you don't need me to tell you this, but what is the deal with the music that comes out of Michigan? It's asymmetrical for the population yeah the amount of great music. That's come out of there. I assume you're, referring to ted nugent only okay, that's what I thought.
Ass impossible. If I'm gonna make four hundred, I feel better. I loved it strangled is on my favorite songs or grey held our player in no shape to hand out of easy job to make is obviously you're taking my mode town, and when I am, I am pontiac insane. Thank you pop and all those people what happened michigan. It's almost like
london or something amount of suffers, come out here out of Michigan we're sitting in Michigan.
stay to arm chair, diffused air
now portland a meal
don't want so my mom lives in oregon and has for twelve years no thirteen years, and I got there all the time and I still can't really lock into what it is, I'm not sure
Oh wow, what I used to say about it when my ex girlfriend brian, I would drive up to washington, nonstop we drive through there. I was like oh I liked this place. It's liberal lumber
acts like the men have beards and their driving trucks and they might be in
logging and yet the crazy progressively as an interesting version.
of a male that surely they haven't michigan, so I kindly does that
but then there's some of the other issues that got skewered in portlandia, quite brilliantly that I'm, like I dunno. If I could lock into that it's more of a physical thing. You know there's so much wood around like there's a lot of trees and little hills. It's kind of cloudy there's something kind of cozy about it that I really like great place to drink a coffee and it's not like the center of the world for awhile. So if you go to Chicago, you feel like Chicago,
hey number, is actually a city that is not happening here. Don't you know what's happening, it's got like little brother envy of new york. We have great yater. You know that I will talk about broadway, but this is actually were. Isn't it funny when you go into a city when you shooting something every city, you got to be loved, talking about how that is really the
place when shop there. I there have been, I understand pride, but any city random. This is actually where
where wider and wider it. I wasn't bad, that's! Ok! I don't think
do it? Sorry other cities, but they don't do that here because they don't have to do it or how to their luck.
Do we need to explain what we are yeah and same with new york like no one's trying to sell you on it, because it is what it is. Wouldn't it be funny, that's a good character. The new yorker wants to point out
yeah I mean streets. Walking sounds familiar. I'm walking here new york a shot in new york. Okay, maybe the last thing I want is because we're in that vein of kind of pinching yourself and watching your self in situations from maybe above yourself, I do like the idea, if it's even true or if it maybe it's apocryphal, but that really devo for you was the first kind of click of like oh, I think I want to be doing what they do. Diva the band absolutely a real moment of. What can I do? How can I be part of this
are they doing? He sounds like a direct message right. Those moments are really salient like. I remember for me watching raising arizona and going what is happening here. Why is this so right for me in power they making it that it's feels so different. First time I ever thought about cameras. Why does this look so different when you shoot
The windshield of the pickup truck and then run through the house and the dog jason, I'm like how is this happening? Why does it look like it's like a wake up mom? So that's what it was for you cause you're in there. I could see your aesthetic it's sunburnt,
but there's an intelligence to
unlike other viewers, other people watching raising arizona like laughing and yet no, no, no, it's not just great yak hide. What a movie is. A guy stole I've member, the motorcycles, terrifying guy, the yes, the warthog from how who was played by he's a real life, boxer and Y know his name. He was particularly cruel to the little or things, and he shoots that rabbit off rock.
We'll tax cobb, like I just don't imagine an actor on screen owes like that is
the monster. Yes, yes, that guy randal takes cop what he was famous form boxing incident when fights, but you could not come out in there
stories about him where he had fought in vegas in he had slept on the lawn in front of the venue the night before Y yeah. I think he be worth of full documentary by was receive over medieval, so you get to play with them in two thousand and eighteen
yeah, and I guess I'm just wondering how surreal that moment is here's. My real question: do you start
considering you might be living in a simulation when you're in that moment that one was so far into a simulation that I was even like. What is this? This thinks we jump. The shark may be here that we're too,
about it. Now I go through my own brain like how on earth is that possible to watch an anti
and will it into your exists and then yeah. When I was learning drums, I would listen to devo to think. How is he doing those drum parts like that was the guy to step into that? I really still can't believe it, and it was great. Was it filmed on everybody's phone? Okay,
someone edited it together. Sir I've watched it in you connect with I'm sitting there. That's me what's easy. Is that it's doing something that I know how to do with just drum so luckily it
not about what is my charm as a comedian, thank god that there's drum parts that this is
how they are so it's mechanical. I had a real task like going shop.
Yeah. So much a good thing that I had something concrete to hold onto this is how the beats go. This is where it ends. So that part, I'm really thankful for that. I wasn't like luckily
My voice worked yeah. Well, that's stressful, so it was like god. This is where the Tom fill goes, and this is the tempo of the song,
So I'm really glad about that and that I became friendly with them is crazy. It came from a text with mark mother's bar. I had bought tickets that show the show that I play with them at I already had tickets for your kid. It was in oakland and he said: do you want to take the d?
the challenge- and I thought it was a contest to play one song and I was like yeah and then, as the texts is going, I see he wants me to do the whole show
wow. The Devo challenge is to play the entire show. Yeah. You already immediately felt confident that you knew all those beats and everything I felt confident that he knew the beats, but it was more that, like I'm not going to drop this ball and I'm gonna
Ellie practice? Ok, good, so you did a lot of practice. Yet did he give you a settlers before him? Yeah? Did you to rehearse with eminent of a lot to lie?
what what was more fun rehearsing with them are doing the show doing a show because of the fans I forgot to these people dress.
up his them all over the audience and they're. So how
and they're not like music critics were like. I want to see what this they were like. We love these songs, just play them when an honor. I can't believe it just getting in
I'd those songs and then finding out what they were really going for, I perceived them as robotic and that's not what they were going for a came out that way, but they were influenced by like stevie. Wonder oh so I thought like a robot stuff and then through like we got. This beat from living in the city. I took my daughter, my eight old too
hollywood bowl a month ago to see the quincy Jones ninetieth birthday tribute as played by the hollywood bowl orchestra. Ok
also know that there helping someone out on the stage, I see someone's been helped out onstage and I'm like, oh my god, delta.
Two, it stevie wonder, were about to see Steve inter completely unexpected and having no expectation stevie one,
zalm plays to songs em, and I tried anyone's EL the eight year old you just can't imagine want to get this is. I think we would ever see stevie wonder, perform alright biggest she's, like I'm a she knows, the song yea of it still now. What a lucky shall? Oh, my god, it was incredible. You take pictures or anything or video. Yes, I videos of him with the eight year old. Yes, ok, just so that
future like future, like guess who the yes, I wonder what it's like to be him and have people who interview him. He must go through a lot of.
I thank you and then you pay the drums on his. Yes, thank you, but it's hard like what you're just saying about diva, you can say like you, I have no idea how meaningful this says. They really dont know, and they can never know
and so you can say it a million times. I you're all my god. This is huge when you're on the other end of it. You can't hear it in this
same way or feel it? I'd almost argue if you could it'd be very dangerous. Well, it'd, be overwhelming for sure. If you knew you had that kind of impact, if you feel the impact
you kind of become a monster so yeah the experience we had. This year was letterman, came and sat there. It was just
two weeks of my life preparing for to make sure I didn't act crazy and know any hades compliments. I had to tell him what he means to me. He's got to suffer through that. You know and there's no way you can feel it, even though you might intellectually recognize you know who's good at it. As a very named ropey paul mccartney, oh really, as people compliment him, he gives them a moment of. Thank you has grace with. It keeps things moving
I guess he's been famous for so long. He knows how to handle a
What do you know
people falling apart, have never talk to him. One time we got into an elevator, we are holding lincoln. She was like eight months old christmas. Do an oppressed junket at the four seasons in beverly hills.
And we get an elevator and Paul mccartney's,
the elevator and he's holding a flower
some reason, and he gives it to lincoln and lincoln sars playing with this flower and then it gets off. Any leave happens like shit
it's a fucking clue that a beetle just gave her a flower. What did you do we're just trying to play it cool best thing? Can it again, please we didn't have our cameras up. Naturally, nice, that's really nice. This is exactly what you want. It's just like. He saw us he connected. He gave our little girl
if something and then you get out of the elevator and walked away his publicist, you know because they have flowers for elevators,
oh that's his signature move yeah, that's so sweet that you know what it's so that the elevator rides go quicker. So, yes, procs is a distraction. Oh yeah yeah. It takes the focus on the flower. That's like saying that as a bed I feel horrible that will friend I adore you. I am a little angry. We never went back to the halloween hayride guess what we commit right now to anger. It was pandemic. We can only feel so
set its upon us it'll, be here before me now I for we know at less. Please do it, I loved it. I know we're ending, but I had a pitch for the hunted here. Right. Ok by me should go talk to them about it,
these actors in there? They should have one actor per group of
it who get in the hay right as well, who gets taken,
really really good idea. So there's a feeling of woe. Yes, can I?
I ll build on me, I would love for one of the hay riders to be a plant and when
it come with that chainsaw, because you know you tell yourself like while there's no chain on the chains really close and they smash it. I think if one guy was wearing a huge bloodbath, oh my god are fucking gushing. Blood was like
I'm with you will be so I'll adds. Ok, just as a little something to the end and other actors comes out just on a walkie like or we have an accurate and little this isn't it
it requires, as argued around a little extra ashley heavy actor. The world is going to be a lot of the blood bag. I switch people, s which people are a walkie person is the next blood. You probably have the same powers over the walking on every right yeah, but that would be great if you have a mantra when that chainsaws covenant you'd, that's like there's no chain on there's nothing. I don't you be scared than how, by there is a chain here here. Oh somebody's deaf,
We have a heart attack militia gone you guys. I knew I was worth it. I guess prevent yours,
It's so bad for people right. If they go to things like that's true yeah, I'm like buddy yeah, you will suffer. You had that timer yeah don't go there. I am scared. I don't disagree. Okay, so frederick
meditate. We're gonna do a little come up before than some hopefully will get surprised and now have some three or four gallon blood bag, yeah
none our idea. Yes, if, because we think alike, will wrap this up by like because we always say the same thing, always
I love you things recover. Humming did I say enough Adam.

there have your brother or your lover on your such as air lovers. Their lovers. Thank you! Is it vintage? It is. I think I got it at that
osborne flea market. It's an interesting phenomenon. Art interest in our draw two vintage wincing area is cause. It's rare that what it is definitely or nostalgic as well sure, I'm sure that's a piece of it, but the reason vintage can get really expensive. That's because it's rare there's one it's old
eight sell, only one person can have it, but what I like about vintages it gives me an immediate emotional reaction, the nostalgia style it needs lightened. Stranger things, it being
possible for me to evaluate how good that show was without acknowledging how much
the style jew was giving me like very emotional feelings, the whole time totally yeah, because sometimes I like seeking out vintage like sweatshirts or something that our meaning fall from my past. Like I looked for specifically and ninety six,
alembic, sweat, sure cause that was an important ally back to me regularly.
six olympics in atlanta georgia. One of the most curious episodes in fashion was that coca cola was a brand of sweatshirt you or your probably too young for that. But there was a long couple. Your pic
we were those coca cola. Sweatshirts were like the thing you know I do
legally now you're gonna look into get mad vintage coca cola. Let me because I can't think of another three and well
I guess people do that with car. Stop the war ferrari, sure yes, but a soda, that's pretty

really big trigger and it's a sale ends and thirty, two, our own, ok, okay, know this is from at sea,
Ok, so I am buying it right now

heart. That's not all auto fills a move or even memorize. The right guy do quaint little your six years old. I d
hold on you, don't know your credit card and buy her the amount you shop. This is a phenomenon we should talk about. We need to talk about every time. I learn my credit card number. You lose your credit card or it gets compromised. So I've made it a point to not memorize yeah. Ok, plus it helps my shopping
That makes sense too. Does anyone want to hear three? Seven people have the keys to put it in a ai. Oh, my god, I probably am
can I admit to a crime- and I use a comment on how ok back when I was a child in high school, you still used to pay phone alot. There is no cell phones. Shadowy eddie is a paper on a lot in. So what you do is get these were quarters from radio shack and they had a perfect
microphone that fit over the ear piece of a phone. Ok in you would record the sound the phone made when you put quarters in, and once you had that on their all you have to do is hold that up to the speaker per hour, mouth part and hit
over and over again any would give you those credit now ass. This was like the hack and every kid in the punk rock world had one of these recourse in their backpack in we would just make,
calls for free on the wow. That's an advance! You consider that a crime.
I feel even more michigan belarus cobb order numbers three zero. Three one, eight zero one to seven three, but
Excessive order number that make me think they're selling three hundred thousand items more than a million at sea. I didn't even count what that was. What is it

More three million one hundred and eighty wait. No three billion homer one, two three one, two three three
billion! Ok, that's exactly one million eight hundred and one thousand two hundred and seventy three

super longer heavier, so judgmental of the order number. I am somewhat like some of the job and regulations as exciting habitat. We would we

I feel so lucky you're going to be so mad. When you hear this story, you're not going to be mad but you're going to be like yeah. I knew I knew she was a brat, even though
Now you this is now. This is the second thing you think I you think I
I have made your lazy and now well you give me sometimes you give me evidence for me to believe this. Okay. Now I didn't ask for this: let's be clear or now everyone knows everyone in the whole world knows about my horrible.
situation. My walk home from car that went awry. Part of that story was my prayer.
As the was dad and
was annoyingly dead because two days before I had it jumped and was driving at around, and so there is not a reason for it to have been dead, but it was in. The press also has so much junk
and I put everything from my its restored garage I've made into his georgina, but everything for my garage in there I told
So when tell me when I need to move it cause it's dead and he said oh okay and he was asked me questions about it being dead and I was like I don't know I jumped at the musical will do think it's the battery and I likely just replacing it was like. Let me I'm gonna figure it out for
greenhouse iq cat. He is like these boozy he's so busy here,
also. He is high level he's very prominent know why he got there cause. He did shit like this. He's the knight, like you, love him, he's your dad. He is
Acting as my dad. I feel that ensuring that out and people
what did they wanna dance? Yet I feel, but much more
my merely because you're so little and how all this is where like its and it might be one of the upside of being little interesting,
Instinct is like now. Let me help this little creature. I feel bad though, because it would make sense if I had a bad day,
right that I was like rocking out dad's everywhere by other figures exactly, but I have an amazing dal incident,
there's no reason, but I will take it. You are just presenting themselves. I just arrived and I was like. Let me help with these. These things yeah and bill literally appeared out of nowhere. I mean- and he he's just he's so great, but he not to brag but like I found out through the grapevine he never brags. So it's not like he told me this, but he's done a couple of people's homes of guests. We've had an ok,
very high level stuff, but bill is like I'm gonna, take the battery out and see, and only like. Oh my god, you don't have time for this. It's not a big deal. I can throw this in the garbage. I think it's time to retire this
our anyway. No, no, no, no you battery, but I did recently get replaced.
you think so I dont know and then ok so of it. The other thing that what it would be
would be the alternator which is like a sixty dollar part of its super cheap. You can take it a pet poison. They could throw deanna when you take it places they charge you like two thousand. They can't do that at peppers.
Why? I always recommend to people to go to in any really national chain that it's not up to their discretion? They go into the computer, they say no, two thousand eight toyota prius alternator, they click the box. They go
It's gonna be six hundred eighty dollars now out they don't get the gis speculate on we gotta
small geyser, like this pride, take I missed this many hours. There
Alban's already saddle wiggle removed a painting ourselves, know you'd,
if you drive it up to you, jump it you get it there they tested to see. If the alternator is bad of it's bad, they a they, have the alternator in their parts department and then they put it in and it's a set price for instance. Yes, I always recommended people to do that. Okay, I hate to say that and put mom and pop them sure there's a lot of honest mama pup, but I've heard if you're a particular.
We hear this happening women I'm here on all that lie areas. One like I'll have a female friend. Technically I just want to get my tyres change and they said this is ever happened to me. Yet,
happen to like twelve other women. I know in it always pisses me off and so minimal ass. It women like go to compel boys. They can't early fuck, you yeah,
so bell said yes, I want to until he has fixed it. A brutal works, I think so.
firm gap anyway? Here's the thing
after this welcome to my world with too many cars right,
I don't drive them a lot. The batteries just go dead, that's what they did. Even in my hellcat, that's a new car with a new battery, but it'll go dead. I now so, if you're not going to
if you have a man about patrie tender
what's that very cheap fucking go to amazon right now order a battery tender, and you just put these two little easy to
leads on the battery and a little plug comes out. The back, ok
and then you plug it into a long stick it in there and then it keeps your battery on a trickle charge, always at maximum
I've had a really go wild with these, because I was replacing so many batteries
in these are cheap and as long you stay on top of em you're, better, so less damn near forever. Okay, but you have to be near a plug
This will be more when your house's don ok, you would have it plugged in when it wasn't being driven cry, while anyway, it just really nice like how nice is that he's just taking this project on. He doesn't our time he so busy, but he's labels is just or his to soak aim
All this bill. I dont like when you're talking about em, you talk about em like he. Seventy five and I got a very bad feeling he's my age he's a thief,
He's not five for sure. I think he's older than you, okay, I did what you think well cause you talk about bill. Like he's your, I think he's a grandpa, no, no, no, no, no! No and every now, and then I'm walking normally I'm walking through the neighborhood. When I'm walking here I will just get like
a lot of gratitude for bill months mars. So nice sling. I am so lucky that I have these angel people of my life thrilling. I you deserve them. Well, I don't! I don't think I deserve it.
but I got luck at my. You know that sim price he paid through the nose he paid a lot for bill either use an add on shot out. Belton yeah. We love you bill Baldwin. If you need architect
bob billy baldwin factor and a lot of projects, but now I'm yeah here that it is a very successful building contracting her very if you are
in los angeles, and you need a contractor and an architect and a dad and a mechanic call to build bald fillable, Billy, Baldwin, okay, speaking of people in their seventies, okay, phil stutz, we were debating how old he was he's. Seventy five a week is: ok. We just had a guest in here an hour ago, who's sixty one yeah looks so attractive. Yeah.

At present. Fred made a hilarious joke that cage and cause. We were talking about how he likes things, burke a little burnt and you were saying cajun or whatever you were saying, odd things and he was like cajun is french for to have been bored.
Earlier, namely that by its assent, because yesterday I
darted to a lingo french. What prompted this, I sobriety,
I guess
I got. This deserting
I ran into someone up at mess hall yesterday a couple days ago
someone I adore, who's been sober for almost a year, a call, and they were about to direct something- and I said joking
a lot hours in the day her and that person said: oh, my god there is some
It's our style of the day, yeah like at first. He was like. Oh my god. What do I do with all this down?
one time I was supposed to be doing this other thing, but then you, you start filling it and then you build out the other part of your life yeah. It was before bed. I had watched a movie, I decided to not work yesterday. Okay, I was I'm so tired.
tired on these hormones? There really getting me high, it triggers meal or because I read it is sad,
I got a little worried, but then I'm like a little side just at the outset. That is the reason. Why not asked here I'm a little sad, but I'm also just exhaust really tired. Yesterday, we didn't record so like I was like I can sleep in, but I have to do a shot in the morning also, so I set the alarm for eight. I was
take pride in your self hood, not get myself out of bed at eight. I got out like a zombie gave myself a shot, went back into bed and was like okay I'll sleep for another like hour, and then
It was a lad. Then I had a hunch eleven
three hours, and I was I
I will now- and I urge your growing your anger bodies, giving all its energy making those eggs robots their charge that ok, I've thirteen eggs at are responding. Oh my!
god. What was the first round three now eight eight were responding, they got six out and I too or mature, so it doesn't mean it.
I mean we don't know- we don't know its. Thirteen is much better than a it's, almost double huge improvement, and it makes sense that I feel worse or just more exhausted, cause more stops happening. Plus I've been on max dose of all of this stuff for days
you I'm just really really safe, for you woke up love. I woke up eleven and I
it rolled around a
from rolling and then it won't open your sheets
yeah- and am I going to do that- I I came here at like one, thirty
some arts and some arts and crafts, and then a friend of ours had someone pass away in their life. Oh you and she wanted to hang so we did a little hang quick, hang,
I was really tired. You and then I was like raw
falling into bad at like five thirty,
I was so tired, but I knew I couldn't go to bed that early cause. I wouldn't be good plus had to do my shots at seven thirty, so you know there's all these things, I'm juggling hurdles, so I turn on a movie watched,
the movie, which one limit less very ran up on my screen, and I was like I've never seen. Man wanted to see something
an scene. I go movement under some cool filming techniques in it
weird like flying down the street yeah there is. It was good,
and then it was
oh really early, and so I thought I could read my book or I can learn french right.
So how's that yeah yeah, oh, you know why I'm not
earlier, I miller,
I am- I am- allowed crowded no until right now, but I do know why he's
speaks a lot of languages in that movie, prime
being one, but also a lot like that's part of what the pill gave him as the ability to speak on these languages polygon we just learned, we
just learn. I got that sounds right. Polyglot
the following law, but only on some very essence
really good saying all those language arms vice loud. So I dab sardine do a window and I was doing great o, but I didnt pay. Oh, so it stopped me at a certain
when you are really its influence, jazz that what did you learn? I
The trial period I learned oem is man. Oh wow, home garcon. Garson is boy

fancy, hey that's what the linguists said that mansion just means house
Oh that's fancy yeah, so I thought that, but really it's just boy hm, so not very lofty. I forget some of the other stuff I learned but yeah. I learned a lot anyway, so it was funny cause the cajun,
but burnt in french is a brutal ay which remain chrome. I love a bird crown. Yeah yeah, like burnt cream sound,
disgusting, but cram brew, lay sounds delicious rising. The us is what they do you wonder of in france, there are large, or this burn dessert,
I'm a literal, exactly to liberate all hear it
away. We know they, don't they don't think their own languages charming and lofty answer? Maybe they do. They seemed to enjoy saying well, they're, pretty stuck up well hope, as is necessary as a whole people, everything a one way. Shall we just real quick since I shopped, let's by
now, let's just other shopping break, ok ready! This is part of my training exercise for the day. Stop that means cat. I and all that, and so I have to
like that, and I got it right on his shop. Snow, shaw, shaw, castle, child boy, a mattawa that and nope he a a
man see its horror like
I saw
anyway, I know I'm in the language now eh.
polyglot, I'm gonna be a polyglot. I realise not. My brain is
really bad at language. So I'm never going to be that good at it. But when I'm there I'm hoping I can
get some words and re. I think I'll be able to read a lot more
My mom menus instant,
although we have just learned that that's not the best way to learn the language, the best way to learn languages, to speak it and that alone
people not a reader, but they can will never learn how to speak. I now have to jump into the deep and they don't think I'll ever be able to near yeah too
honest with you, when I consider the likelihood that I would become president of the united states verses become fluent in french,
I think it's more likely. I would make a run for the programme.
which is no likelihood of me doing that, but truly an order of things that I feel like would be achievable. I can
that way to react became achievable the reality star winning presidency yeah I mean it
I could do it well to keep me from doing mean. Neither of us can speak French I'll. Tell you for united in that stat part of the brain
I know this thing we learned is that no anyone can do at recently about me at easter egg, and I too, when I objected to it when it was happening. I know my when at sea to unlike limitless exactly
did they put contacts and his eyes for their dear member.
Of that. There is little algeria is up and running at all long term. Just part of my amazon prime knows you.
apparently, okay, so rob. I need you to do a real time fact check. Yes,
I am saying for women bradley coopers eyes, really that blue, oh, that wasn't what I was gonna have you do a fact check, but are they know
Didn't we rise or study now
real I've seen him
Real, I didn't remember it. Looking like a dozen limitless, they said. There's a couple shots we can see. The blue is on the outside. Ok
It means I make sense, could seize on this pill that they would do that. Sure no one's eyes look like that, but my brothers
my brother had a most insane eyes while their awkward marine looks like there being lit from behind you have painted like when they light up.
rule from underneath. That's what David's eyes look like. I have to say
out loud? So yesterday you were doing those crass. I was. I spent the whole they up here, writing and I'm, as you know, and you disagree with this technique, but I've been ploughing had anyways since I have written in handwriting. I am now voice
taking to get it into print united to disagree. I just was china. Has no you have you had a lovely suggestion but have stayed the course com.
may because I'm let someone read it I get out at any rate, all of yesterday's work was about my.
sweet broad. Ah you love
I was almost crying as I was like voice dictating as as, as happens to me. Sometimes I write something I don't really have much emotion, writing it and then later when I read it on my old boy, but what a sweetie pie he really he you know he was might
how to use only five years or the mean he really tried as hardest be added as your bow,
was my bell yeah. I got it
ear on and of fun journey here, like seeing your family in a new way, maybe which is nice.
Also like having to tell his story is just give me a lot of compassion for, of course, the aroused transcribing yesterday was this guide try to kill my brother when we lose
in the welfare apartments, a boy or an almost like a man child. He, as I said, I don't know what he label he'd have today, but he had a ton of stuff going on. He was maybe seventeen sixteen man by
What kind of a child is hearing aids a lot of stuff going on disabilities thought my brothers,
The double had it in his mind that my brother was actually the devil's. I try to breaking your apartment then tried to get a mother
are there any thing and we were on big wheels, and this is
funny thing only story of ours right like will tool, will regale about when we are living up for park apartments and em.
In writing it and reading it. I'm like, oh, my god, he's eight years old me there who is three and he's trying to protect and there's a for real maniac who thinks he's the means nuts, like. I think that that event alone, for somebody should send them on a pretty crazy trajectory.
and this is like one of the many things that psycho funds story. We talk christmas, ashraf
yeah. I mean major,
These stories are to happen, a story to the jail today or goddess and institutions.
exactly. I say that in their like, we were never really told the police were involved rather involved once before. That's what's interesting as like. I hope him tell him with a lotta compassion, because no one really knows what
Of course everyone knows he's kind of disabled and away uneasily
when is grandma, and so the cops are kinda telling us like. You know he doesn't really know what he's doing, but it's getting more and more dangerous. No one really knew. Of course, no one wants to send this kid to anywhere whore spad forever, it's bad for everyone in the in the police or in a tricky situation, but
also useless, like they were. Really it shouldn't got to the point where he drove the car into the louse. So that's a big issue
I have to show for everyone
walls.
The roma.
Life is just very unfortunate and sad. Some time it is not like bad guys. Issues like hurt in damaged people, moral trying to do the best. I can
anyways ways, ok lot going on for my brother, but he had those eyes
he was rewarded with his eyes. God was. I don't give a these crazy eyes to make up for the others that I have never been
for me a thing every obviously on some people there they are undeniable. It's like you can.
Not notice them, but for the most part out yeah, don't I dont noticed some very much right. I guess
My dad member, we ask my dad about, would call I
they can. I can I use like basely Mandela's, I I
notice, eyes hurts. Does everyone advertising relying on about being a sad eyes, is ever cared eyes?
he knew about that, but he he wasn't familiar. Where a lot of luck. Ok, now rob woman! You please look up how many inner views of arm chair expert, just just armchair expert, an expert.
monday and thursday we have done. Is there a way to do it? I can do it, it's not a quick. I don't want you to like go through and count. I mean I have a calendar, but I would have to like copy it
and remove stuff. That's not. How can we don't need to do that? I can was easy enough to figure out just not
on the floor. Ok, google, maybe we'll do it for you, that's a tbd! I have the same curiosity
curious. How many we've done gone yet because Amy recent seven or eight hundred and I'm curious what the real number
yeah, not eight hundred. I think we're like approaching seven hundred as my gas, because what the five hundred was, how long ago, where fred is six hundred and forty eight, but that
includes armchair, anonymous, ok and how long is unsure anonymous from going? We kind of here ball begun, licks, sixty, ok, so far,
nine the ogre solar
I don't blame or to be more specific
We have a law is fine. I was really funny. Does the notion
we too would have ever done a hundred is and that we get the five hundred which felt like
the quick so now I'm like. Oh then we must be one thousand, because it felt really fast that we got to five hundred. But now we have like the seasonal stuff,
exactly we heard in dangerous, I think, is included in the council to know. I were not coney norm churn on amazon, I'm just I was just curious interviews. I mean with of amount of shows we ve done in total, as a network are for sure, a hundred india.
You said the most interesting. Twenty three m me results of any one you ever met was fred, but I am he rode yeah, because
grandpa was presenting his japanese but was created and then professional
answer. Yeah and fred learned that through
korean yeah, which is which is crazy, but I would say the carry washington reveal is
I didn't know it yet. I didn't know you.
As he was before. Oh that's, right! Everyone! Okay! That's all right! So if you, if you miss the Kerry washington episode, you should go back
that's funny, as I would maybe be interested in doing that. But only whose profits yeah,
because this is on t v and then just generates a new site. I don't really need that. I need to find out. Like am, I already know my uncle's like murdered, I don't think I want to know any of that stuff, I'm curious but like if I
My dad wasn't my dad. I don't wanna know that mere he's clearly
bad, though having met both with you, I don't know, there's ever been a father daughter that are more
similar lincoln, I give you run for your money, but yeah. He said
My daddy, my mom's. Definitely my mom by members. The low versions was the boy and girl she's cute bertram she's real unreasonable
all right now. To be honest, I guess nobody. Nobody has that, though right nobody has my mom's out my mom, because
cat. Well now does what all mermaid, maybe one of these serial killers? Ok, his
grandma was presenting at his as his mall. I think Tennant Andy and his sister was present at our his mom was presenting us as snow Charles manson. I know TED Bundy is one of the yeah. It's one of the big guys, Bob Dahmer or Bundy manson, though, because then David teach us that at one of the
Not shared charity lie with solid city, though with TED Bundy I'll shoot you mind of all. I don't know, but I can't I know one of the big guy see no logical.
Soft law under and about in the hall of fame the zero killer. However, yeah scary
oh I'm not told you this before, but I had stumbled upon a book when I was about nineteen twenty and it was this
that it was a encyclopedia of the people killed the mouse amount of people. I found it so interesting is that we are, I mean I'm not one
while people love tat wise to cry me, that's why it's the biggest genre it was Bundy
grew up, leaving his mother was a cistern as grandparents, whereas biological scary, ok, we'll them.
It's rare, though much more common for your dad, not to be your nat yeah, but I will be really sad if I found that out. So I just don't want to know that you'd be so. I think you'd be like oh hookers,
he's so my dad, I would be- I wouldn't be mad at anyone. I would be, I think, owed.
Sad because you have pride and mean his daughter, that's nice! Yeah, I still would be his daughter is identical. I would
really makes and argue for nurture yeah arguing, henriette dad
You guys I learned at all, and I don't like me and you're, not mercury, similar I'm. That is your knows what he is
you in that sometimes, although maybe this is less you now, but
for so long I'm just what I don't know why,
believe me. I know like you liking,
aging in this way. So much that I don't know what you ask me
that's my brother?
but in a weird way you do know what they believe in which is like
I believe in is pressure testing everything all the time. That's
I believe sure it's a little bit mine, which is like ok. My instincts says this. Now, let's, let's really try to,
that that's amusing to me or fun or interesting, that's in very amusing for him, and it is for me too. If, if what I'm talking about you, don't care a ton about exactly. But if I do, I find it
europe setting whatever the spectrum. Is, I'm not wear my brother's yeah, you know here I mean I do. I might add, does have strong beliefs,
I know I'm also just welcoming you into my head, because when I think of something like what then
happens. Is this very long debate in my head? Yes,
so when it happens a real life, I guess that's. My motto. Memory is well near by Dan is doing it like he's doing it for the sake of the
the bay. But I need him to stop in the middle and say ok, but this is actually what I believe now
keep going, but he wall one's home that similarly, my brethren, our drawing back from the sand dunes and
all of a sudden he's kind of like he was telling me all this pro trump stuff or you just like letting it rip about trump. I did say it one by one,
pause, pause, pause. I need you didn't tell me, I love you, don't think he's a good
god. I just need to know that you don't actually think he's someone you should aspire to be right is I,
not a great guy, but the guy is a winner and then he launched back into. But I was like: okay just needed a touchdown on the fact. You wouldn't want your son to grow up like you exactly exactly like. Sometimes you just need to touch down on
in reality, and anyway, ok, phil, phil, hartman trash
the you guys brought up. Do you know that story? I didn't know it until. I assume a lot of people didn't know it, but we kind of moved on sort of quick, and I didn't want to go back

My memory is that his wife shot him in that they then tested her blood and she was drunk and had cocaine in our system,
he was an outer. She was an act.
She killed a man asleep in sweden and then killed herself and killers,
I remember the of pain and structure now,
although silver lining, if I'm gonna get murdered, please do
that asleep david on experience. Any other pasture annoyed me offers an.
Shooting, like I don't want to get like, stabbed or strangled for like a year, ten minutes or drowned a drone or fought put on fire or something or what movie
I don't want to say eggs are going to be so mad, but I I just like I when I heard gay couples fucked it. That would be not a bad way to go. I think yeah that'd be that'd. Be that
at the top of my list. Yeah well. Would it be like a heart attack or like your insides, the orgasm or your teresa explode yeah. I like that. How did they die fucked it up? I wonder if it's ever happened, I mean. Definitely that's mcconaughey story is his dad's heart.
