Futures actually become many now, I'm gonna take because

if Matt goarly soda knows this vote of man knows that son was on the tour, we did. This was the two cookie tour which was really fun and out there in two thousand and ten, and It was a real happening and we need to somebody. for me on this tour: the went all around the united states of america and we, of course, we found mister reggie. Its reggie was a great oak, for the show and you didn't amazing job. I am one of the things you did so brilliantly is peace we're coming to the show we put it together. So quick that nobody knew what it was, and I were them to know right away. This is the show you thought you were going to get. In fact, this is, unlike any show you ve ever seen. You can't just have a standard. I just can have a intimate and go hey everybody how's it going!

You know, and I wonder what the swat died and gave you the sweater, because they were dead and buried beneath the slatternly right. That's terrible he's not he's dead, so he doesn't mean swept up, but the sweaters. What in Kehl anyway, my runs outcome for this is a great betty is good in context, including the content, and you should really see at a sweater. He would go after every day and it was the same sweater land. It was a plan, a where we couldn't get that guy. I wanted that guy so bad that his name's hack be hacked inside. We couldn't get him no, but But, as someone had heard of you have you seen reggie watts and you were not unknown quantity at the time, but we saw you when you were absolutely bags what I wanted and You would. I mean I came describe what you would do, but it was so original and so fun and so interesting and so different that people would come in.

See the warm up and they would thank you they are so no, oh, my god. What is happening Is this going to be? and it was great you're, pervasive yeah, but what you did one thing that completely blew me away and then I'm going to let you speak at some point, but I'm just going to monologue for awhile, because it's reggie wants- and I'm very excited you would we were touring in the summer. It was very hot. This gentleman would very, very heavy sweater. Yes, all the time, lots of corduroy an suspenders and layers, layers yeah and we would be in texas. Would be in you tell me georgia. It would be a hundred and thirty degree yeah and you would be walking around you never sweat and then I would be sitting in my dressing room alone, doing guitar scales and trying to warm up my vocals for the show, an just try, get ready and

Then I would wander down the hallway and I would pay ass wretches dressing room and you the testify that this is true sooner. I would pass wretches dressing room and you always a happening. Guess I'm. I would in the room, and there is always about thirty five people, they're beautiful women, with like an ipad, a beautiful, with an eye on how china falcon on her shoulder claudia exact. Tanya mean it real. Andrea was the coolest people I've ever seen and it was it was. They were always different. Every time it was different people. Oh, there is a a german man with a mine nurse helmet and he's go with him, but he's also drinking absinthe, and it was just this insane collection of human beings and they would always look at me like verses, long time, content and you'd be like oh, hey, Conan it'd, be like oh, hey and you'd all be like a hooker.

doves in the room, the prince was there, you have it. It was always a happening you, the cool guy huh, do that hydrogen and weed nowhere know where we'd be we're here and tell in tallahassee, and there are those people they did. You fly the men. the iron. Now, however, I you know, I really had to do. The tour I mean who wouldn't want to come and hang out backstage at your door every friday, warlike that what is it happening like they were like as much as you're saying like what is happening with this guy, like my friends, were like what what's going on with conan it's like I'm opening for it's impossible, it's impossible with a gloomy com. You know like yeah, it was easy now everyone was so excited. It was so weird because we also never knew who was going to be backstage and whatever, whatever state or city, we were in the most famous people. That state or city would show up right, and so it would be in seattle and say: oh you know, any better is gonna programmes gonna come

do something on the shown. If you like wise- and I say this isn't funny- this is hurtful this a prank and then any better which go ahead. where my favorite- and this is Aaron blared speaking. Yes, I am I discovered is indirectly by going. I remember, and just so you know, you'll never be allowed to speak now. I know that I am a contract that service that sir, so not every specific memory of being in san francisco and I wished backstage were Try to get from one side of the stage the other in theirs is very narrow. Halfway him got out walking very fast on them, away and you're talking to somebody and I just go to kind of peace, is this person away and as I'm about to touch or I realize you're talking to Neil young- and I was like oh yeah- maybe I'll, don't you fucking yeah, I just waited, but you are such a good. I dunno was one of those that so many things went miraculously right on that tour and I would say the fur thing was o- are open,

it was a total hell, Mary we'd, it was reggie watts and you just set the tone right away and whatever happened on that crazy tour you're, like aha, of course, is happening and then of course, I got to know you better throughout the tour, which was a real delight, I've seen your career blossom so beautifully. Subsequently, and now you have this book out, I realise that you have this improbable background. That kind made the you coming into that tour feel like yeah. What else you got you don't I dont think I don't think I've weird situation could be created for you that you couldn't handle. you know honestly it that's. Amazing observation, because that's how it feels, because you know, like all the other stuff, that I did, that it shows elective led to do and that was available to me. You are growing up in their stuff was pretty weird and Gonna take people radio at quickly, just yes at the table, and then obviously I want you to tell this story by them.

You are born your your your your with no citizen ship. Ok, where were you born as one in stood, got stood guard germinal, got close to soften housing and look at what that goes. It out. cause right. You ever thought of lay the home. Of course, later thousands and your dad was airforce servicemen riots and so you're born your your military brat and you move a lot yeah few times. I will say like a lot. For the amount of time that we did move. Other friends of mine were like, as in oklahoma for home of her to you than I want a partial, schooling and partial junior for me that we moved around not removed to three different for different countries then ended up in united states, so right until about through by three and a half or for an this experience of your living in

in europe, your pen since our by racial couple, and that is very good. Did and then you move to Montana, where there may be a dick. Vibe. I'm guessing yeah, not just gaslights, it's in your boy. It's so tell us about that. I was very interesting, I mean, is it was a mix of being where of that and also night we are related costs on here is not at all actually encourage, ok, well and also and I- and I also just Didn'T- give a fudge about it. Harsh Zaragoza budget

It is not one of our favorite glitter. Can we take that outcome army that out? We have a delay by love a hot fox sunday. I despise five sunday, it's so close. Absolutely anytime! You, you haven't, had a heart progress on that level below were lowered. Let me right down there, but also is interesting because don't you think it. I've always had this theory that growing up kind of it with e o what many people would describe as the rat co instability of the mixed race, para europe moving constantly and radically different countries, not really sure what the hell's going on prepares. You in a weird way to say I'm going with whatever. Oh I'm, a hundred I mean everywhere that I go. I had to learn how to adapt. because I was always ill equipped enough, I ever I wasn't speaking English very fluently. When I first started when a preschool for me, I you know

try, my best buy, had learn English pretty quickly, and then I had to learn how to make friends and and- and you know, friends were like. Oh, this guy's weird, you know, and so I had to figure out ways to quickly get in to people's like renter of like who they are and that that that work well, I think we eventually like you just get it. It's all about europe, even looking in the entertainment industry, is like eight o, your reputation. That did says a lot about. How can I get hired? It's it's can it goes back into in school. It's like if you work on, You now being someone who's, helpful and funny in joking all the time and slightly warner, but, like you know where the good good intentions european and a house goes a long way with friends. Yeah I've always mean and comedies not a hobby, it's a defence mechanism, its learned, very its survival mechanism that you learn very early, totally, learn it very early on in euphoric, her whole life, a rapid man and someone later on in the process people go. I will give you a

for that you go ahead. I haven't using that to stay alive case arrive and you sure this is what kept me from being beaten by those who, again my god, so many fights averted you, you move too great falls Montana and I love this cause. The cover of your book- and I want people to get this book fits the cookies. For that africa, the cuba is, what cover I've ever seen. It's your your head, floating majestically, disembark above de I looked like the fall in rate falls Montana. Yes, the anaconda, hydro, electric, damn yeah yeah, you know I'm mad at you, because I need to write my autobiography. You do, but it's a lot of pressure on me to write it, and my idea was my head floating above hydroelectric dam somewhere down somewhere in the mid west yeah western midwest, yeah, western midwest and source. I'm screwed thank w w

find this does a couple more ideas can did you encounter racism when you were a kid when showing up in this environment for sure, some of it I kind of chose to not acknowledge now I just keep doing my thing, but definitely there were like full on in. I got chased by some guys, pickup truck with a b gun like animals, I trying to hide from stuff for a while that was fun. in our really while it was happening as this is what it's like to I know this is a valuable experience, yeah, okay, cool. So this is what you look to a camera that wasn't there I said: are we still rolling? I just yelled up to this guy terrifying to running from these races is invaluable experience. I'd probably learned from it well back to back to running again, and I don't even like running now I mean there were there. Were I think there were. I remember my Jim teacher at enough. It was in the book or not

it might Jim teacher. He and I had. Weird, like I just didn't like him, he didn't like me and I remember walking to the gym. and he was in the hallway before going into the gymnasium, and it was just he and I and he and he can pull me aside. He was like, I want you to know that you're not fit to eat with pigs and then and then- and then I just like them as I thank you so much and they walked off and it was like people thanks stuff. Like that to me, I was like what are you doing. For me, it wasn't so much like I feel, hurt by its more must say I was just gonna go doing what interests mean forceful, that's horrible, but at the in time. What makes sense about it is that you are refusing to even honour it you're refusing to grant you some, I get total could talk, you got it out and then you you keep moving and you're totally denying that person there s their rage. Whatever is gonna, give their feet purchase on the ground, which, in a way, is genius identified, identify

The aspect identify with is the non confrontational aspect right. I was is very light on my feet and if people didn't like mere thought I was weirder- was coming after me for one in four one of a thousand reasons. I stand my ground ago, oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it? I would say thirty, five things that kind of confused. Does behave in a strange way over and then sort of drift through, and I am not I don't know. I am not advocating that approach in life. Cousin there's part of me that wishes sure that in the movie what you do. Is you kiss your best and punch them across the room?

we ve seen all the video call fails by now the mute button. Mishaps, a cat cameos people not realizing the cameras on when their parents are off, but none of this makes fred feel any better about giving an entire sales pitch mistakenly using a filter that turns him into an it submits a baby duck your router love it's too late for it. It's too, when you realize it's better to do business in person it matters for you, stay welcome to the sultan garden and fed the meeting. Room is right down the hall hilton for this day. My highest compliment I can pay to you is that you are impossible to categorize, because europe, is like he's a musician. Yeah was a barrier, but is also his committee, it is also an artist but he's also a performed, but is also a prank sir. It's like which I think is his great you're its you. You refuse to be categorized, but music must have come

two very early everythink music. I think music, guess: the secret weapon. Think of it. For me, growing up by I loved musing, my parents, love music. They listen to my dad was a huge jazz head on and my mom and he like shared their love of jazz, but also specifically like more funk like like james bond, and things things of that nature My mom load folk music We ve been anonymous korean those those types of eddied p, often those types of singers, coolio glacis, and so I was around so much ray charles with someone I gravitated too. As a kid I love watching them. He moved when he played piano and then and we're for some weird reason. Elvis presley was like a huge. My first record was an Elvis presley record. I I just I was impressed with the press, but he was you can? that's trademarked, You will have to meet them. No one's ever said that about Elvis presley, no one ever and

Everything has been said about it and no one's ever said. I'm impressed with the proper. I feel fine. Play for the les laying press land where at least for the late fondly for the label. I told you what I mean. But discovering music, like my parents saw me like on my light with. I would be like bedside and pretending to be rachel's charles. I was a mimic, the our back, as I can remember and they saw me doing that and they got me this toy piano and I was playing on a toy piano, a lot and then, as soon as we move to montana, am I to get age like five and a half, or something like that? I went in to classical piano training and took to it pretty well I loved, but as a social. So for me it was like I get to be with all these kids and like I'll I'll learn music. But what about all these kids either the music? fascinating, but really, I think, that's what creates that adaptable

Because for me the one thing I was tell all my artist friends: were they like I'm doing this one thing, but I'm not sure I'm thinking about may be doing painting, unlike those just extensions of yourself. It's like, if you imagine yourself as lake, person sitting on it on a floor and your surrounded by all these different medium tools. You can taped to any position and pick one. It's like this. The core is always the same year. The creator pick different tools, but you ve got the most important part which is like I have an idea of something I want to do, and so for me I think music. In that case, I would be on the playground. It would save me if you know people would be like I'd, be hostile, words me and I would start singing like living newton, John or some, let's give physical, maybe like all right out, and I was again savagely worry or yeah readily. yeah I know how to stop these hooligan through a thing o brien about this with physical hale Brian

gonna beat the shit out of you now. I dont think those before I'm about to saying soon: violence, What the fuck oh you'll, see, let's get a physical, When I awoke and me I see you, there is not one broken bones his body that bali was a movie. I knew him jane. Just imagine, would only doing at the table lay ground dismantling the boys going like that, all of us to say no, I actually. No, I think this for this binkie, like I've gotta get out of your master here. These are built, that really took their job seriously and if they find out later on that it was an unbroken pinky there were lighted. You know you got a risk,

you cry warranted! Did the teachers does watch this happen do or they join all day, would sell seats, ryan, uppercut ryan wanted out? beating about Brian everyone to the north. A parking lot was spending all lessons for the day. The s he has been cancelled, may I say that he has been cancelled going to college good year. Blair has already godlike messaging about me, the conan beating you don't ask a beating a good year, tire software, focus hard on the tire. are also you're, so influence you so influenced by pop culture. At this time too, because you're a sponge an end. You are watching television,

you're watching movies and you're picking up on comedy what stuffy you watching. What are you loving man? I would well we're cuss weaken earlier about the pink panther he Fatima, those eater sellers. Yes, my my dad and I would watch those now remember- probably the most intense don't ever had with my father. That I can remember, is peter sellers, doing that bit. Where he's on the parallel, but I'm sorry, I've. I've thought about the same thing. All my guy swear to god decision I this is in my if I'm only left with eight images, brain before I die? Ok, I'll reserve! some for my two children and my wife- ok I'll give them three set eyes, but then there It's just going to be, and one of them is going to be Peter sellers on the parallel bars up upstairs upstairs in the mac and two next to a flight of stairs going down, yes, dismounts and with a graceful, dismount and all around the stairs look this up on youtube or wherever you want to delete it he's because he said

poppy his guys parallel bars. I I did you sit there lyceum, you know and it gets on them and is doing and any dismount and aunt Julia and crashes into the room where these staff has been assembled for his questioning, and my favorite thing is that he entered the room with all of his dignity and authority, stripped of because he just fell down and flight of stairs, but immediately stands up yes and where, we'll just won't you about see what that was ever because you're just watching in going. Ok sure I swam back and forth ass greatly, I called as that sidonia salisbury steak, when that happens and, like my dad and I lost it, oil, we laugh infer from quite quite a while at so funny, as are those I would go to the theatre when those movies would come out and I would go, but my family would go my there we go and that's where I would you always pay, attention to what I can relate to, as I would watch my dad like. If my dad was,

laughing really hard. That was because when you're a kid and sometimes if you do not sure how you're going to connect with your dad, I think times have changed a little bit but yeah thats three. If it all, you feel that I don't quite know how to connect with this guy. He can seem remote. Sometimes I'm grumpy enemies, scared, he's at work a lot and then you see him laughing really hard at that At a moment, in a pink panther would be like that. That was that there's no com incidents that later on, you find out huh, I'm in comedy yeah. This is my way of connecting to people hundred percent. My dad, my and my dad was a very strange guy. He knows a very quiet because he's a war vet He was always a more animated when I was younger gum, but he knew it was just like few and arbitrarily those where our moments to connect was really humor him laughing. It Like doing something done

or whatever or like hiding piece. You know like in my pocket when they weren't looking in that like him, discovering it then dislike laughing about it. Like those directly not to be in your book yeah. He had ptsd there are a lot of trauma from from serving I e had been in. Vietnam has only been in vietnam. He hadn't, seen like a ton of action, did see some action towards the end of a second vietnam, and so I think you know all that stuff up to, even if you're not like on the front line, Even if you're on the base- and I mean like he was- I think he was on a base and had gotten notice that they were surrounded and that the that the vietnamese museum closing in on this base. and so everybody was arming up in getting ready and then there was a then, and there was a notice, the said the war was over, so it didn't happen. I mean I can imagine the stress of just like this impending thing you, like I don't know what's

isn't right now the olive that definitely got to him in and so that I will say that some of my friends who had difficult times with their fathers? I think he did the best good yeah with what he had. Not really you know, who knows he was ill prepared for that they also dynamic help. There's like nobody going like well, you ve got shall shock, that's let's adele I talk about it, write it that was more esoteric or it was more for people that were a little bit more forward thinking. My mom was always like go in the basement, yell, you know, and he would he just wouldn't do any of that stuff. He just kind of be silent, out in the dark to em so, but you could connected through comedy and through music. Yes, yes, yet at they eat wasn't like the guy. That was like I'm really proud of you son. He didn't do that, but you kind of knew when, when I I knew when he dug something or he would We like man, this guy's, crazy or you know he would shake his head and his on his face, I knew that that was him. Guy like This guy is, but I, like him

what's it interesting to me, is that you were in a legit ban when you, start to discover. I can kind of do comedy using these same too, also mean repertoire. Is you can play off different instruments, but also by messing around with petals getting different sounds going you're able to start to make some thing and- and repeating phrases and it's it's It's really cool to watch, you put it all together, but when do you start to figure that out and the members of the legitimate ban get irritated you're doing that massively irritated? Yes, people would be annoyed with means doing comedic bets because you know I did comedy in high school that we had competitive drama. So we got to do humorous solo the first year- and it was very strange that just get on tour bus, here's! Forty two

as for the weekend and two nights at a hotel and good luck, competing its other stood from round the state and a weird high school on a weekend and so, but it was great meet all these other drawn kids. We're all a bunch of weirdos, so they're, just like doing these crazy monologues and you're like okay go ahead, and what am I going to do? I dunno my teacher, like you can do with everyone. That's okay! If you wanna improvise and then I would improvise, so I think all that and then actually stand. I tried out for a stand of competition in high school and one it and like three hundred bucks for something that immediately, but like a shit on a week for my friends, my friends will agree. We want you wanna buy some weed that get medially, it's not about like you are great up there and they once got. We got money now you might get some. You did good at a weed wedding competition. You didn't stand up being whatever he had totally, but the weed procuring thing went well. I did. I did good booth weed, but like yeah, so I mean I think that started creeping back in because you know at I haven't.

hyperactive imagination and when I'm on stage- and I hear a sound or like someone says something that immediately leap links to some other silly thing, and I can't help. After a while, you know there were ten I understood it. I mean you know, you're, u dont heard the trouble back there, you don't have a mic and you're like what the fuck is. This guy doing Now I get it. I was I I wasn't like you guys. Should vendors understand me, but There were several moments when I felt them going to link. Could you just look at me? where the next song? I guess that's a good idea. Let's play the next. When did you decide all right. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go out on my own and I am going to use this. that I have and my improvisational skills and my wits and I am going to make this musical mash up of comedy wonders at up. I mean that happen. I think,

and I was about thirty one. Thirty two I who I was in my band mach two, which was a really amazing ban to be a part of a great man but we had been. I think we ve been together for five years and we ve gone through a bunch of hype cycles with labels and endless meanings. it's coming out jimmy? I have been coming out to watch us and like doing showcases in l, a and stuff like that viper room and- and it would we'd almost or almost something would happen and then we'd go back to like they passed or whenever and we would work on another record or something like that and and I just wasn't seeing it evolving beyond below the third time that we don t and so on and I was doing comedy and then I saw what are they called? Michael Schumacher, mc lean back of the state, nettles. That will stay our stella yeah. I was post state. I learn about state later, but I saw stella. I was like what is this? Those davy this'll shorts, challan DB, yeah like this is me

humor. These guys know how meaningless things are. Like and and that's so beautiful and I am identified with that and then they ended up I think wet hot american summer came out yeah, and I saw that and I was like totally like ugh. That's yes, I want to do that and I was so driven and inspired by those things and then they haven't come to town star stella did come to town I met eugene merman and I was ended asked by a friend and- and he was like, we have a comedy night in new york. You know and then I ended up, writing with a band, and they needed me in new york for the writing session. For a month, so, while I was there, I did a couple spots and invite them up and instant friends with everybody ask her. I was like being in highschool again I mean when I saw my younger friends or or younger artists or like how did you how you make it and you know, had you basically, that's like the the question, but how do you make it you, don't have to worry about making it like waved. Make is the thing that you loved Yes and do that, and I always tell people like if you wake up in the morning and you can't not think it be thinking about a bit.

And if you're always doing bits like that's that's kind of what you are yeah you're, not going to change that, so you might as well make a career out of it. Now I I I We maintain that I've. My career, is me doing what I'd be doing anyway and then I was fortunate to find simply people who had money who end in an owned the machinery who are like wow. You can do it for us, but is it it's the dirty little secret. Is it if they said well we're done and where he way all the equipment, I'd say: okay, well back my bits, yeah, my old bits used to open up a closet whatever and just do it in an in an empty field. I think, and- and you know whatever a passing dove would say that seems sad

He's not a dream is poor. You, MR gordon Liddy. You could build everyone for everyone's because only about other gal, each other control, but my bids, but my bed we'll find it, europe's with european coded, but a bit about ronald Reagan, you know him well well! Well! Well, that's not it! So how did you learn toadstool? How could the toadstool not like my reagan? Bear no you're right in the block that, because U, I noticed there just to ensure that the

Women are quite taken with a MR reg watson. Then you, you write in the book that your your ah your dream girl is pippi. Longstocking, yeah, really huge, crush on inger nilsson. The original okay yeah. Well. Also the concept, but yes, he was great. He was great, just great and ban of it. Yeah oh and anger called at stop. Writing her later was no, but because of this show they interviewed me for the documentary talked about it on here and they sent me a signed of vinyl with anger, tommy one sense, yeah wait who are the other two tommy and annika okay Can you fill in just for people that are listening and had some sort of a childhood when people want to know who the other two are at tommy article or like her normal kid sidekick to know, yeah, they're, friends, they're part of the crew yeah? but she's amazing, she's, she's, amazing super stronger, her. She had a basement for treasure,

yeah. She had unlimited funds could travel anywhere. She can lift a whore ascetic. She lived a horse should get it is you now she house whose magical she had like? You know: red hair, I'm half read the head and I you know I had seen she had said. Pigtails over magical and lazy cool style and having such a sense memory. Right now I mean my grandfather, small house in in miss cuomo, cut, rhode, island and there's a puppy love stocking movie that comes out of this might have been with anger, I'm and it was an back then there's only three channels. This tv and miss comic connecticut near the state? Beach doesn't get many of much reception of anything so you see the same thing over and over again and they were running a a commercial for the people. long stocking movie, yeah just one line that rang in my head, which is a weird over dubbed, someone I think over dollar like yeah, because swedish its weight, I heard accent, would change from film the film

she would have just like a transatlantic and ended. Some film she just be like I'm broke, lay in a pretty long stalking. How well then, Ok. So when I remember you tell me of this at all rings a balance sheet What single horse she's running super fast, like one hundred miles an hour and they've, just sped up her legs, she's doing all these crazy things, and then they just cut to a very european weird kid and it looked like poor quality film stock who goes pypy. Are you crazy, yeah, that's probably yeah. Okay, I remember seeing that I going to what kind of movie is this something my grandfather, a retired policeman would say, try nine pp. Are you crazy so dies in clips from this podcast in that documentary, because we talked about it. Well, we're gonna talk about it more now and where's. My By the way. I want a piece of that monies behaviour longest. I wanted that logs running. So what is it about? Pepe long stocking you first and then you meant what is it? I think

I I don't know, I guess I like that she was a fully independent She ran her own operation. And see she ran her own operation. She just went on adventures. She was just like going on adventures. All the time cause. That's what she. What was her grandfather, the pirate or something or father, was a pirate. Anna, but no longer in the picture, and then you know I had like this gang of. kids and I dunno. I just had a huge crush on her. I thought she was hot. That's cool yeah! I think superman was always the ideal when you're a kid, but pepe was kind of a little bit more realistic. Her parent left her dad last year alone. That's where it is to live in this house called villa villa coup line. He goes and sales the seas and I had a huge crush on her to her maybe like blondie and pity were my first to cross blondie was pretty amazing, their little different, but that or you know, em actually they'll bosnia. wait. No, no for a no roma missing verse. Yes, that's right! Yeah your hands, woman she's, like she looked like blondie kind, arrest,

it kind of was she kind of looked like a cross between blondie and that people are going to kill me for, like crosby and and and who's the dude from it's sister. Oh decent, like a tiny bit like a hair like like, I have a huge crush on there. You go. That's my idea. Go yeah! Oh that's! Interesting! No blondie hit really hit big. My freshman year of highschool and I remembered her being the ideal like uh, that's the sexiest, and she still is. She said. For god's sake, she s most she's the sexy who was one alive, maybe get blondie amphibian. This pike haven't fight

but by a pip you probably when there is no beating blondie and I got periphery. Are you crazy, exciting matter were stored, improper we're, ok, here's another, a huge influence on you, and you mentioned the book, the fairest bueller ferris bueller's day off you you, yes, that was a huge influence on you because he broke the fourth. While there was the that was mine. Blowing I mean it was so I mean what, in one of the smartest moves of a movie screams ever, I think, a sure at the first movie, but definitely of those coming of age, films which I was all about. I disliked all the Is that he accomplished in a day I mean it was insane and like? Is he going to make it in all that rascally principle? You know and the sisters kind of bad ass you know like there are so many adventures. Things and turn it took place in a day and then at the end, like him or just once in awhile throughout the movie tube.

Looking at the cameras like that is so cool. I love that like we're in on it might he's like you, experiencing that reality for us and also its very hard to do as it can be done badly. Yes, and of course John hughes and Matthew project that their zeal, just they did it perfectly perfectly. There was just like problem- is practical. It's kind of a perfect movie. It's it's totally think maybe I I've watched it. You know some. Some of the some of those movies are like this, but just moments of it are kind of you know breakfast classes totally aside and random, but I was down in view yes in here in california, with David hopping, like a weakened, alphago and we wander into a store, and I'm chatting with the guy who runs the store he says to a woman there whose so working there. This very attractive. Woman was probably in early twenties, more

twenties, and he said to her. I can remember her name, but he says, like you know, Syria, Syria tell cod story telling story and she comes over kind of precisely because she's being forced to- and she says my parents are the parents on ferris pillar What would you mean and she said that the two actors the mother and father unfair, ferris bueller. They met in that movie, why they're my parents and then the guy at the store, is like? Isn't that crazy? And at this point I feel like I have to buy something yeah and they met on that movie and then she is their child and she is drop dead. Gorgeous well yeah very nice and very cool. But I just thought waiting. Are you just? Are you insane, but you think prick, because when you think of people who are playing a couple in a movie You write ever thing now and she said no. They met on that movie.

and then had me she's the real life healer. She is the real life bueller yeah sure. Cold storage is real broiler. does she ever just randomly stop in the middle of the street just turned to a camera that is not there. While I was get a load of me, yeah yeah she did. While I was toddling away yeah. She turned to a camera that wasn't there and said I need us a lot of celebrities at this store here. You know in in near venice beach, counting kind of I woke up, you know what you gotta pretend to be excited, and then she turned back and still there. I was still there com and I said rude and then she turned back to a different cameron said and who now you're gonna hear me once again yet belt. It can't be broken off. He broke the fifth law he broke, so many walls. The roof collapsed due to Dario Gas is living in a hybrid out anyway,

I dont know her name by the shot out to her and no kidding are an end. Very lovely cool purses overload set out there that fucking mind blowing yeah yeah, I loved yet live. yours great, but also I love weird science. Weird science was huge liquids. Aids is so insane solely because I'm sorry but the premise is correct- that the is crazy, its cause? Never seeing that this is how old I am. I saw that in the theater as an adult shoes to purchase or nice purchasing ticket sentiment with greg Daniels, because we were both writers and we had no girlfriends big surprise, we're living out here in l a and this movie comes out weird science and we think well, let's go to westwood and watch it to learn how to make a girlfriend yeah exactly. We both need to make a girlfriend clearly, because we know when we meet wants to talk to us. So we go to the theater and these two guys just basically, I think, cut out a bunch of pigs. Is from magazine us and feed?

into our what a supercomputer, a supernova writer then they'll, Brazil, china, brazil area, then we'd be the out for an and there's a barbie dull, and then I think, because they run a cable to the roof and lightning headset that makes care a broad true now they declined or more, but I think the leads people were making with If you take a personal computer anders alight not stored up and you have a bra and some dolls around you openly abroad. Ellie look wrong. Users are still like. A fancy is not that you couldn't pin down for a while. Couldn't do that and you know I was just in question and we all know that will happen. I guess second happened with a computer and a lightning still, I think I'll, have it vote I very hard. So you know those guys got lucky that movie. I remember that happening in being alike.

Surge is growing. Every minero areas have a background. I mean that

There was every also had mad max vibes at it. At last I mean it had ever. It was amazing, always guy from madman get the guy from was in it. It was insane, but but the crazy thing was that my first girlfriend was was english and she was she was.

You know my first girlfriend is this- that it was very, very right and then I was very insecure about it cause I was like there's no way the whole time. There's no way has no anus like which is not the right at it and when you're saying that out loud and you're, with her there's no way in the way that you show that all is no way no way while you're having sex there's just no way

As a band and like that shit blew up, and I was a huge, sound garden fan and. Seeing all of that explode and see the industry move and that towns fast with all satellite office is looking for the next new thing and inform you couldn't have moved there. There were two venues to play at that. Was it like too many is nighttime heartland?

I was driving around the streets. I was so dead. It was such a small town, vibe, anyways and the and then, within a period of about three years it completely this is insane and the coffee was like. Espresso culture was born, though my lord maya, my wife, is from seattle and I got married there and it's my it's. My you know from home, because we we go there. Just when I was first dating my wife, I Oh, you know, let's go get some coffee interests.
