I've been so excited and it's so far lived up to the hype. I've been excited but I'm the one that always has to it warn and it's be like careful and be like the one that's like we can't do it now because of this
Starting point is 00:02:42 and that but that has nothing to do with the level of wanting to be in the car. I'm happy to hear you say that because I wasn't sure if you wanted. I wanted and have since COVID began since the first cough of COVID splattered all over California. I was like get us back in that car. That's where our personal brand of comedy magic happens and we're back. I'm so much less liable to repeat myself because when I see it coming, when I start thinking about my cat, that's right when a biker will cut in front of us. I'll slap my hand against your chest.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Out of safety. Safety is not my hand against your chest out of safety Safety is not repeating yourself. It's so weird. You don't realize you miss things until they're they're gone and you Treating me like a book bad the book bag that might spill everywhere is such a heartwarming Since the first time you did it. I, I mean, how long have we been doing this walk out? Do you have a night? I'm just gonna start saying a decade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:53 No, eight years. Eight or nine? It might be a decade. It might be, because it's been a while. And this is the very road we first started on. Is it Ventura? We were coming the other way. I was traumatized because of a story that I'm not going to tell again, a bit of a car happening.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And we were in the same model, yeah, of the memories. They're all coming back. The Honda Fit days. Yes, and here we are in a much safer vehicle. And it's quiet. It's studio quiet in here. I said when I was car shopping on the auto mall. Studio on wheels.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I said, I need a soundproof vehicle. Can I have the same car that, and I can't think of anything that records and a car besides us and yes and that's and john daily in and john tall john spot yes there are many now yes are there uh... it seems like of what there's a famous sign called one but he's in like hold it's you know steam powered engine cars and everything you know from
Starting point is 00:05:03 the sixties there's no way. That's gotta be like, that's one thing we have on that possibly more famous recording is quality of sound. Yes, and thanks to Onalice for providing that quality of sound. Onalice in the back seat. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for being had. Listen, that sounded very facetious. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for being had.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Listen, that sounded very facetious. I'm sorry. This truly is a dream come true, but that also sounds facetious. It's going to stop talking. It's hard not to sound facetious when we talk these days. Yeah, anytime I say something genuine, it will be easily confused for sarcasm, but I'm very happy we're doing this. Me too. And also, you know, I was on vacation for basically a month, last month. And so I haven't been in Los Angeles. And I think you understand that feeling of when you leave LA, you don't appreciate LA when you're here, LA, when you're here.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Not you personally, everybody kind of hates it all the time. Yeah. You go away and you go to other places and then you come back and you're like, no, I like it here. Yeah, yeah, I, I mean, you were in Italy. I was in Italy. Which is much more... It's a lot better than LA. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Hands down. Yeah, I was in New York, but the same thing, I do appreciate here. I do like being able to just get in a car and not on a metro train. I appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, there's just, there's positives. Here's the thing I'll tell you about Italy, that was one of the funniest slash death-defying, scariest things. When we were in cars, Italian drivers treat the road like it's a one-way street going their way until a car comes, and then they just move over
Starting point is 00:06:58 about three-quarters of an inch. And it is truly one of the scariest, most insane things I've ever seen. They never crash, they tailgate each other like on the highway right up against each other's bumpers. And that's just how it's their very aggressive drivers. And they're also very, they get, they know how much space is on the outside of their car. And they don't, the roads aren't wide enough to move over any further. Right, they're all narrow, right? That's a European thing. I mean, that was my experience in Spain and in England.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yes, because it's all kind of old and, you know, they're basically based on what the Roman soldiers built when they were coming through, unlike L.A. where it was all built about two months ago. Yeah, yeah, this road is about two months old. It's a very young road. It's young and it's wide. And I appreciate the space we have here in California. Anyway, it was just kind of funny. There was a couple of times we'll be truly thought we were going to die.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But our drivers were so, they handled shit so well. There was one guy that he was driving through the mountains, like truly very steep mountainous roads, and he was, it was a stick shift van, and he was texting. So he was shifting with his left hand. He'd reach over and shift while he was texting with his right hand. You know, I appreciate multitasking.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I mean, he could really do it. He hand. You know I appreciate multitasking. I mean he could really do it. He was a real argument for men multitasking. I'm just not. I don't think I'll ever be. I have to limit my expectations of myself because I'm a full grown adult. I don't know that all I forget better at juggling different things while driving. Yeah, I think you should. I think you should.
Starting point is 00:08:44 No, don't do any of that. Don't just focus. Yeah, I think you should. I do need juggling. No, don't do any of that. Don't just focus. Yeah, I do. Just focus. Yeah, well, there must be a reason that all those race car drivers are from Italy. Yeah. They're all adept. They're truly that.
Starting point is 00:08:57 That's a blanket statement. I'm sorry, but I'm a bad driver in from Italy. It's like, what about me? You've left me out. Oh yeah but you know what those people aren't stepping forward because they've never admitted. No. Because they're a prideful people. It's one of the many things I loved about them. It's such a wonderful country.
Starting point is 00:09:16 What about the food? Did you enjoy the food? You know I didn't love the food. No just kidding it was unbelievable. Well I heard that when you go into like an Italian sausage, it's very related to a hot dog. Is that true? Well, no, I don't think so. Like they've been Americanized and what we know. Okay. No. You were talking to someone who went to a baseball game stoned, I think. Right. Yeah. And they thought they were they had misconstrued the situation. You're still a doctor game with, I think. Right. And they thought they had misconstituted the situation.
Starting point is 00:09:45 You're supposed to talk to your game with their Italian friend. Yes. They didn't go to Italy. They just hung out with a guy from Brooklyn, probably. Well, in Italy, what was the thing that stands out the most? Well, it was a thing that I was very surprised happened because I'm just not this person never have been.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I got completely hit on in the street, in a way that I couldn't stop laughing because I was like, I don't know the lines for this part. I'm never this person. And there it was like this guy came out of nowhere and basically told me he wanted to get to know me. And it was one and it was beautiful and Italian. You look like a soccer player. And it was so fun. You should have allowed him to get to know you. I know, but I first of all didn't speak Italian.
Starting point is 00:10:34 He didn't really speak English. He knew these phrases like I just want to know you and how long are you here. And I couldn't stop laughing because I was just like, I just didn't, I couldn't believe it was happening. Yeah, that's cartoonishly what you see in movies or TikTok videos. Exactly. You will be swept off your feet by someone on the street. Yes. And I was kind of like, I just wasn't prepared. If I could do it again, I would do it very differently. And it was also just funny because it was
Starting point is 00:11:06 he was very like, you can tell it's something he does a lot. It's like he's probably working that part of the street. That's kind of what it seems. It really is. Someone's eventually going to say yes. Right. Which I respect in a way, but yeah, I was kind of thinking I would be seeing it happen to, because there's a million Americans there. There's lots of like groups of young women with their friends having the time of their life. And so I was like, yeah, sure, that's great.
Starting point is 00:11:37 This is, I would love to witness it. And then I got some up close. And it was a real, you know, I got my groove back. It was a real huge compliment. And you kind of can't pay for an experience like that. Or you can, but I wouldn't. It's that just something that very rarely happens here because when I was in New York,
Starting point is 00:11:58 that's my only comparison. My European trip to New York. I found that I was having a lot of open friendly interactions in a place where, you know, historically you're supposed to like, hey fuck you, fuck nuts, stuff like that. And I'll, I made friends everywhere I went. Yeah. I'm like, is it me? Am I acting different? I'm more approachable here. I feel like And not that I we just said we love it where we live But I do feel like you're this is the place where you're at least liable to get approached Yes in the street
Starting point is 00:12:33 I think this yes, there's no love in the streets here. I think this is a tough town to be open in or have like a big smile on your face, right? to be open in or have like a big smile on your face in. Right, right. Make eye contact. Yeah, but you know what's funny? I've always found New York to be like that where people, I think because people are smashed together, they get along better.
Starting point is 00:12:57 And it's like, here people think they're supposed to act stuck up, so they do. Whereas New York, it's like, people will start asking, they'll be like, hey, should I buy this for my girlfriend? Yeah. In like the aisle at CVS and then you get into a conversation. I love it. I love it too. And I think here, especially in recent years, I've gotten so used to not interacting that I, it would just felt great. I love that. Let's, I'm gonna change the city. Let's start talking to people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:28 That's my new Gears Resolution starting now. It's Hockerow summer for you and I. Yeah. We're gonna, we're gonna bring that open energy to one of the more closed areas of the nation. Closed. A closed. Yes, I'm not doing this at the beach.
Starting point is 00:13:44 That's the hardest time to really be open and vulnerable. Yeah, but I'll start by doing it indoors, but eventually I'm going to take this openness to the streets. You should. And that's what I'll think about taking some clothes off. Yeah, because you don't paste that out. Yeah, don't do it all like once. You can't just start talking to people and get naked in the same day. They can't process all of it. You need to go in levels and steps. Yeah, yeah. But also, hey, fiat, get the fuck over and go. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing, why are you so small? Now I get mad. Did Fiat have to be that small? Sir, oh, there's a car in front of him. I thought you meant a car coming toward him.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Oh, you didn't see it. It was totally locked. Totally locked. Yeah, they are of the same shape. But now that they're next to each other, isn't it funny? Because the other car is much larger. That's so much larger.
Starting point is 00:14:41 That's perspective for you. Guys, this is a perspective that podcast listeners cannot have or appreciate i do think they appreciate it our listeners okay yeah i used to worry about it and then i've been told that specifically people like when we're talking about things happening in the street that they can't see it's like a radio show and we're doing uh... you know fully work i choose on my hands and crunching on gravel hey mug
Starting point is 00:15:10 and then i put some meat i've always you know like i have shoes on my head i just my point is when are we gonna go the new are route with this uh... new are yeah film new are am I pronouncing that wrong? A little bit at the first time. New art. But you came around the second time and then I understood
Starting point is 00:15:32 what you meant. Now the fashion brand. Do you do it? Do you do it? No. Do it. Do it. It's doya oh who are you wearing tonight a doya no doya ha ha ha see i've made the classic l.a.a. error as if i haven't lived here for thirty nine fucking years getting in the left lane when you're going down franklin under the overpass by the extra space uh... rent storage facility you do not want to be in this left lane. You get stuck here
Starting point is 00:16:06 because there's left turn people, I mean, you're coming to school bus. You're also podcasting. If if I was driving right now and I'm not trying to put this in a position where you will always be the driver, I promise I will give it a go. I will always be the driver. I'm not saying you, God, I don't want to drive. Please. I would be on the curb I would be disrupting that man's About there's a man's a boat. There isn't a boat. We don't know if it's a man or a woman Yeah, I you know what it's put together so happy hazardly. I think it reminds me of my dad and I build a deck in under eight hours Don't rush a deck.
Starting point is 00:16:46 No, you can't. People stand on that. A first for so long. Yeah. After. Yeah, if it's a good barbecue, they'll stay. Here's what I was gonna say about our hot girl summer that we're both agreeing to participate in this summer.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Tanneing. I'm gonna be tanneing. Oh, but we're gonna be, we're gonna get super tan. We're gonna get lip injections. We're gonna wear tube tops. We're going to get super tan. We're going to get lip injections. We're going to wear tube tops. We're going to go to every party we get invited to. I am definitely doing that. Well, I'm going to do it too, so don't leave me out.
Starting point is 00:17:14 But here's a vibe that I picked up on in Italy that when people are, and it was the men, but when they are being appreciative of women in the street the underlying energy of it was very loving and respectful it wasn't creepy ever now maybe that's because a lot of them are wildly beautiful to a degree that doesn't make sense that's kind of the deciding factor but you have definitely met and interacted with hot people with terrible vibes that you're like this person is dangerous. Yeah. So it's possible, but over there it felt like they were like everything was kind of like, oh look at you ladies. It was that kind of thing where you don't normally hear
Starting point is 00:17:58 if someone was like saying something about my appearance, I'd be like, how about you don't talk about my parents. And instead you respect my mind or some shit like, I've never said that in my life. But do you think that was the trick of the accent? Yes. I think if told in the right tone in Italian, I would appreciate anything anyone says. Because it has a little bit of a seamless song.
Starting point is 00:18:25 They literally do have put an A at the end of every word because that's kind of more like their language. So it's like, would you like a menu? Really? Uh-huh. Not that bad, but... No, but that good. A general vibe of... Driving now past what used to be the 101 Diner, some of our early tuna melts.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Yes. The earlier tuna melts that we shared. And now, have you been to the Clark Street Diner? It's awesome. I have it. The food is really fucking good. It was amazing. Well, the early meanings you had with Georgia was there. That's right. I mean so much history.
Starting point is 00:19:09 A true. They used to have a comedy show there before it was even redone, back when it was still kind of shitty and there was weird curtains and stuff in there, that we all would do. I don't know if you lived in that. No, I didn't. I only remember visiting and doing laundromats with you, a series of laundromats. A tradition that I'm glad has disappeared. That was, the laundry match show was so hard and so funny. Like, no one did well.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Everyone just would get up and eat it while other people tried to ignore them while they did their laundry. I had decided to move here and was just visiting and I felt like I was making a huge mistake. But. Because of those shows. Yeah, I was also doing that show with you in CJ Arabia and I was nervous. I was nervous for 10 years here every time I got on stage. And now I'm nervous again because I've stopped
Starting point is 00:20:05 drinking before every show. How's that going? It's been going great. I've been wanting to talk to you about it because I didn't go through any sort of program. I just kind of stopped. And my brain works better, I think, except that I find that during this recording so far I have had to search for words. So I'm in a little bit of a lull. I feel bored lately. It used to be a reason to do things. And but I can tell that my productivity will be up and I feel better about myself. I'm not getting angry.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I'm not getting depressed. All those emotions that are depressing, surging through your blood. Yeah. And when you're on stage, do you lose words or no? No. I don't. I feel like I remember all my jokes, but I guess I am nervous.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I have that new feeling or that old feeling of being nervous every time I get on stage, but it's a good, it's a good, yeah. That's energy, right? Yeah, it's energy. That's like actually being in your own body. And there was a number of times we recorded this podcast and I would, because I was nervous, I would have a drink or two, I'm gonna admit that. And we're just talking white claws or something, I wouldn't get hammered like the NASA episode. But that, I was at a party and I, I suppose I knew we were podcasting that day, but it didn't stop me from having this. Did you say the NASA episode? We drove and people will remember in the mountains and just ended up at a NASA.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yes, I picked you up from Al Magdregel's party, that's right. Yes. And then we both auditioned to be astronauts. Auditioned. We sang and danced about the moon. Do you want us here? We'd be really good on your moon. I'll do anything that doesn't involve math. Hi, honey. Oh, look, wait, this roundabout is new. Oh, we're discovering new things about the town. What? You know what this means? 80% or accidents, but zero fatalities.
Starting point is 00:22:14 That's the story of the roundabout. Is that true? That's in a roundabout way. Sorry. I was a sad old time. I'm sorry. That was a beautiful set up. Thank you. Well, you're welcome from me. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I actually thought it would get quite the quality. I feel like I've made a large error on my first in car episode. Oh. I do not think we're in the right place. Oh, I think we are. Are we? Yeah. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:22:43 You perhaps are correct. You know what I'm doing? Mm hmm. I'm going to Laura Milligan's old house. Do you know Laura Milligan? She might be a pre you moving here. Person should we just break the news to Margaret and pick up Laura Milligan? She doesn't live here anymore.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Oh no. She moves back to San Francisco. She would break the news to each of them and just pick up whoever lives there. Hello. Oh, oh, God. So I'll just jump on the freeway. Missed this chaos. We went the wrong way and it feels great. But on at least we're still recording, right? Oh yeah. Cold in. That's all we care about. I stopped for nothing. Nice. OK.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I stopped for nothing. And then we ran over someone. So we. Bringing us back to this pre-mentioned route, I mean. And it's true. There's no fatalities here. But of course, people panic. And they just run into each other. Yeah, but
Starting point is 00:23:49 80% more accidents From the roundabouts of my hometown of Missoula there was a corner where many people were hit on bicycles If they had started to be called malfunction junction. And I got him quick. And the bikes were just kind of locked to a pole to remind you, they're painted white and it was very sad. And then they, that's where they put Missoula's first roundabout. And there has since, there has been no fatalities anymore, but people kept crashing,
Starting point is 00:24:27 because they weren't used to roundabouts, I think they are now. Yeah. You know what? I don't think it's a bad thing that our first episode in the car, and the inaugural episode of a fourth season, am I right?
Starting point is 00:24:39 Or am I speaking out at school, out at turn? This is season four wheel drive. I mean, that's great too. Right. It's one of my favorite. Not only in advertising, but with comedy. It just turns a phrase. And it's a fun surprise.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Wait, sorry. What are these two people doing? Are they being filmed? There's two people just sitting at a table on the sidewalk. Yeah, they're looking around like, look at me, look at me. Yeah, that's a reality show. They're on an autistic date. So we're all on an autistic date.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I love that show. I do too. It makes me nervous, but it makes me cry. It's so good. It can be most things. But I was going to say that it's a good thing that this will no doubt be a two-hour episode. I think that that's fine.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yes. Well, here's the thing. As a podcast fan, myself, when I have a podcast that I've dug into and say I do the dishes in the morning, then I have to stop and go do a meeting. And I get to go back to the same podcast, to go to do, oh, is that there's but hill, sorry. My book bags sell everywhere. Where was your arm on that one?
Starting point is 00:25:55 I could have used a nice chest for ass. Oh, we aren't doing that one, you serpentine. We're going up this blue snake. Here we go. Nice. Oh, this is like. Here we go. Nice. Oh, this is like truly some sweet ass background shit. We also made the decision of doing this during rush hour. But that's because there's more fodder for conversation.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Yeah, I think rush hour LA is the pinnacle of Los Angeles living. Was it the same? Yes, it's left. Really? Wow, we're doing this. Oh, I'm telling you. When I said blue snake, I met, look out. Out of my way.
Starting point is 00:26:35 There's a blue snake in my lap. Okay, so I flew home from Italy to Petaluma. I mean, to San Francisco, but ultimately got to Petaluma. Mill Valley. And I was driving with my sister. And there was a guy jogging on the side of the road, holding a stick with a big dead snake on it. That's something I saw as she was dropping me off
Starting point is 00:26:58 to come home, Delay. How hilarious is that? Like, he found the snake or somebody ran over it, and he was gonna keep it. Maybe he was designing a flag for a society made all of snakes. Oh, keep going. We are doing this. I swear right now we're in someone's driveway. Yeah, a rich person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Hello, ding dong. We're here. I thought you were calling him ding dong. We're here. I thought you were calling him ding dong. Hello ding dong, you have my car. I don't think I've ever called anyone a ding dong. No, but this person that's on the wrong side of the road is doing whatever they want. Simon progress. Whatever sir.
Starting point is 00:27:43 That's your word. You're right. To the right. This is exciting. Yeah, it is. Whatever sir. As you were. You're right. To the right. This is exciting. Yeah it is. I've never been up here. This I'm, I really have to say again how excited I am. Down.
Starting point is 00:27:54 For us to be back in the car. This is, at first I felt like I was nervous almost. Like I was doing a new thing. This seems so, it's just great to be back. Yeah, it really is. And then there's... I see like... Helping her child. He's not in the stroller.
Starting point is 00:28:10 He refuses to get in the stroller. He wanted to look at a rock. That thing babies love to do. Yeah, or a snake. They look, pick him up. Hold on a monistic. What if that was a baby that was jogging with the snake on a stick? Look at that cool house. Hong Kong, I can see you. Yeah, doing karate in there. You're silhouette.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Hey Mr. Miyagi. Yeah, it's very Miyagi-like. That looks like very... Oh, there's a dojo up there. Well, there's a lot of nice houses up here. Yeah, that's one thing about driving in the city. I want to scream what the hell do you do for a living to everyone. Yeah. When you first move here, you think, oh, all these houses, it's rich people because they're
Starting point is 00:28:49 movie stars. No. A lot of those movie stars just rent an apartment. Yep. They can't afford it. These people work on augmenting chins or they get murderers off or, you know, jobs like that. If the globe doesn't fit or you know jobs like that. If the globe doesn't fit you must have quit.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I would turn right. Yes, I should be doing this. Yes you should. And I will now forever be your navigator. Look at this. We're coming up on a park. At what you will turn right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah. Perfect. We're going to dump out of, oh, I see where we are. I see where we are too. I see more. Oh, look at this. Great. Oh, wow, we really did circumvent.
Starting point is 00:29:39 This is the park, Griffith Park. Griffith Park. Yes, it is. It's a large park. There's about three Griffith parks in this city, and it took me while I realized that we're all one park. You can just approach it from so many different areas. There's a mountain in the middle, as far as I know.
Starting point is 00:29:59 And it's a great place to pick that, or just hang out in the bush and try and meet new people. Get bring that open energy to this any kind of a bush or shrubbery. I'm doing it 2023. That's this is the year. Yep. To leap out and surprise people with my my presence in their life. How's your hike? You yell, real loud all at once.
Starting point is 00:30:20 That's the thing. I just bit my tongue, I'll try to ignore it. That's the thing in New York that I didn't expect. I was so sore every single day because all you do is ride city bikes and walk and run to trains. And my watch was freaking out. Like, who is this new, who are you? Jim Fitz? It said, in case you need a reference, did no one? Jim Fitz. He wrote about being healthy and then died Jim fix Jim fix two X's really he was the jogger guy that died of a heart attack while jogging yes Yes, yes, there was a Bill Hicks joke about him dying around the same time as you old Brenner in the contrast and their life style
Starting point is 00:31:00 So basically you should just live your life because they both died. Yeah, so true. But lost my train of thought. Beautiful park is what I think. Same if we're going to equate my New York City Italy trip. Yes. Same where Adrian had her fit bit and we were walking 20,000 steps a day. Yes. Because we were just hauling ass all over every city we were in.
Starting point is 00:31:29 That's what I heard from my friend who lied about the hot dogs. Is that they were, and everywhere, people who were actively eating hot dogs left and right. No, that didn't happen. So many, just ballpark trunks and everyone was like fit. Yes. Because there's so much walking and I realized not to keep bringing up New York but I haven't been to Italy and I like to steamroll your possible stories. I think they they really kind of jigsaw puzzle piece very nicely together. Yeah yeah because they're both on a grid system. Also in Italy, I'm going to be the person that talks about Italy for five months after I come back.
Starting point is 00:32:15 But they, and now so I'm like, hey, was that person Italian? Then I just saw Stan and I said, yeah, you want them to be here. I'm like oh, jock them oh, chow chow The food there is also beautifully farm fresh and whole whole food That you're walking a ton and then you're not eating Preservatives and gruffles and shit. That is a huge thing and you can't eat There's not a lot of processed food available like there was one store that was almost like a novelty shop of Snacks it had some snack name and that's where all the chips were. And other than that, the only really like food, you had to go to like a, you know, a stand or a restaurant or whatever. Wow. There wasn't like, there was like American themed. Welcome to this heavy breathing American.
Starting point is 00:33:04 like there was like American themed welcome to this heavy breathing american uh... american that i'd like that uh... my attempt at the accent of the stricken from the record i'm sorry it has to go on the permanent record that's just a rules i wonder if all fr conversions does is make a giant black metal billboard for a bumper. Let's see. Is that what that is? It's quite the conversion. Do you, are they trying to keep mud off of their license plate?
Starting point is 00:33:35 The back of this Toyota family wagon has basically a snow plow, and that's the conversion. But, oh, the license plate's up there, I see. I was about to say, you can't cover your license plate like that, but it's directly in front of my face. Yeah, yeah, it's bright and clearly inside. If our conversion is so distracting, that I couldn't spot the license plate. That's why they do it, so they can evade the coppers.
Starting point is 00:34:04 That's the conversion. Yep. That's like they do it so they can evade the coppers. That's the conversion. Yep. That's like it's like James Bond style where it's like right we thought was your mind. Now you can't report us. Do you remember in Cannonball 1 or 2 or perhaps it was 3 whichever one had Dom Delewese? They would they had a car they were they were driving half-hassardly and they were getting pulled over and they had a car they were they were driving half-hassard land they were getting pulled over and they had a lamb regaining or something that was yellow and then they pulled over and washed the paint off and then all of a sudden it was white and then the cops didn't know what to do and I thought I was like yellow lamb regaining I want to do that in real life except like with a hyper color, temperature, triggered,
Starting point is 00:34:45 just so, you know, my life of crime that's coming up. Oh, yeah, the ones that are planning. Is that also for Hot Girl Summer? Because I don't know if we can do all those things at once. Yes, no more rules, and that includes those of the law. Okay, the ultimate rules. Not just societal, but I am gonna be more open, gonna take my clothes off more,
Starting point is 00:35:03 and I'm gonna start new in home invasions. Hahaha. Thanks to FR conversions. Yeah, thank you FR conversions. We do so many free commercials. I hope the people that pay for real ones don't get upset. But if this basically what looks, listener,
Starting point is 00:35:20 like a black piece of plastic someone shoved up under their back bumper that says that's our conversions at the bottom if that's the advertisement what are they advertising? I think now that I'm looking at it and it's grippy nature that comes out at an angle comes down and becomes an access ramp. Oh, yeah. Oh. And we both learn something. And I appreciate what everything if our conversion does.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Now I understand if our conversion is in their cards. If you need a ramp on your cart that also kind of looks like you could maybe kill people with it or as they had the law, which I bet you, I bet you people with disabilities or other abilities, they're sick of just something looking like kind of technical. Yeah. They want something a little sexier, probably. And that, even though it's out of our lives forever now, somehow got in some POB lane, where the hell that family go. But you know
Starting point is 00:36:29 what? They effort converted right the fuck over to the right. And now they're gone. And we don't remember their license plate. I think there was a two in it. Yeah. We could have read that out loud. I just know what lawsuit we should up. We're in, as I mentioned before, that rush hour traffic. I don't think it's a bad thing. I just, it is something that's happening. It is. People work. I forget about nine to five jobs, traditional humans. We haven't had to deal with this level of traffic on the show. Right. in three and a half years. And we used to be really good at it. Need I remind you of the times we used to go to the airport
Starting point is 00:37:11 and drop people out. I cannot believe we ever did that. It was so kind of us. It really was. That's why I say I can't believe it because we've become so unkind. We've, the pandemic shrunk our hearts, like two grinches. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:37:30 And that's the other thing we're fighting against this summer is basically the smallness of the pandemic. Yeah. And I think that we're going to get it solved in this traffic. Yeah. We're certainly by the end of the episode. We're going to have this episode. Yeah, because episode's going to be 4 and a half hours long if this traffic gets Yeah, we're certainly by the end of the episode. We're gonna have this episode. Yeah, because it's gonna be four and a half hours long if this traffic gets
Starting point is 00:37:47 anymore. Again, anything and I'm speaking for myself when I mention something, there's a wall or I make zero sense, we can just trim that out right? Yeah, in the least. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll be fine. It's fun. It's fine. For some, it's a passion to find the walls. Take them out. For some, it's a passion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Yeah. So when you were in New York, did you do shows? I did, and I loved every minute of it. I did. Did you kill? I did. I felt great. And you know, I'm not one to be bragged
Starting point is 00:38:26 docious. I asked. So you had to answer. I really felt like I was doing well and I felt comfortable. And I was like, well, this joke will work. I'll do this one. And I realized it was just all my favorite jokes were working. And all the ones I've done to be relatable on the road or to get a cheap laugh or involve my passion of janitalia. None of those needed or they weren't appreciated. People would celebrate the ones that I liked and it made me think, man, should I have moved here. Not that I'm living in the past or ever regrets, but sometimes I feel like I could have been in New York.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Well, it's a very human to entertain that idea when you're killing, right? It's like, well, but the minute I have four roommates and we're all in bunk beds. And you're hanging your bike from the ceiling? Yeah. That was something I saw in a Brooklyn apartment one time
Starting point is 00:39:20 and I was just like, guys, I don't know if this is worth it. You're hanging a bunch of shit from the ceiling. Yeah, yeah. It's like you live on a submarine. Yeah, and I saw a friend that I was golfing with here, and he had moved back to New York, and I said, no, do you golf here? He's like, oh no, I'm done doing that. Like, you can't.
Starting point is 00:39:41 There are certain things that I would have to sacrifice, and I don't think I can do that. Yeah, you need to be outside. I do. I'm an outdoorsy guy. Yeah. The lion needs to get walked. That's right. Or if not, it gets frustrated, it needs to remind folks that he's king of the jungle. I hate to interrupt you, but is that Jim Eroquie? That's a virtual insanity for you to have said that. That is the, I want that hat. I love that, that person's wearing that hat. Oh, wait, there's another kicky hat. Look at her.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Did you see the woman? Are we in that hat neighborhood? Oh, wow. Yeah, that's more of a, oh, we must be, we must have just crossed the line into Silver Lake. Here we are. Yeah, guys yeah silver Lake is the land of hats Oh, so when just 75 year old women with very hip hats if it were 1992 Awesome, I I love that dramatic way
Starting point is 00:40:38 Am I saying that white and I say that white Dramaric way anyway the point, not drinking makes you a sharp communicator. Dermiracway, am I saying that white? Yes, you are. Yes, sir. You are indeed saying it in the widest way possible. In the widest way you can't. I love Dermiracway.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I love how he dances on that conveyor belt. What if that was you actually channeling the woman who was wearing that hat? I love how he dances on that conveyor belt. What if that was you actually channeling the woman who was wearing that hat and that's what she says all the time? I love Jimi Raquay and people are like, ma'am, just ring up your stuff at the self-check out and go. She only goes because of the conveyor belt. But the time she tried to dance on it was not well received.
Starting point is 00:41:25 We're going to have to call our guest and be like, hey, so do you actually want to do this two hours after we set the time for? Yeah, I'm a little nervous because I feel like today's guest is going to be Margaret Cho. I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Might as well. She has done so much that it's hard to believe she isn't someone that probably has something else to do today. She absolutely probably does. But you know, like we were gonna drive her to the market I believe. Yes. But if we don't have enough time,
Starting point is 00:41:57 we can just drive around with her and be like, hey, we can get a solid 30 minutes out of you. Chris and I just put it in our cell so whatever whatever she can give us will take right and if and if we even if it's not recording and I'm gonna make this promise to her you've even without her even being in the car we will still take her to the market yeah about that sure absolutely you've done it already I mean I've in a non-podcast environment said okay i will still there's been times where the recording didn't work out but we still did
Starting point is 00:42:30 a airport drop off i think that has happened and i personally i picked people up and they thought it was going to be the podcast and you're like no this is your. I thought you just wanted to ride. Why did everyone want something? Why do you want me to record you all the time? Yeah, all the time.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Well, you're sleeping to figure out your sleep cycle. OK, raising the record someone's sleeping. Oh, right. You just to see if they have sleep apnea or if they've blurred out good ideas and they dream But you can steal that was gonna be my invention is because I always think of Funny good ideas when I'm dreaming and the minute I wake up. I'm back to my dull day brain Yeah, so I wanted an apparatus with a minute. I woke up
Starting point is 00:43:21 Police system would yank me out of bed I woke up, a pulley system when yanking out of bed, something else like a Rube Goldberg machine, shoot a pen in my hand, immediate piece of paper, and I would write down jokes. This was an invention. Give me an example of one of these great ideas. Well, there are so many times that I've woken up, and I'm like, that's such a funny idea, or that's a great idea, or I just dreamt a movie, and then one minute later, I've forgotten all of it. I do not remember my dreams. I just don't. And so I thought maybe in that little window of time if I immediately
Starting point is 00:43:51 was able to write, cell phones have changed it. I got things in my notes. They never make sense. Right. But I do immediately write them. I mean, because that was what I was going to say. I remember having very specifically having a dream, because I do remember my dreams, and it's all kind of nonsense. But I do remember one time when I very first started stand-up, I think, maybe it was younger. And I dreamed I was in the Mervans in our town,
Starting point is 00:44:19 but I was up on stage in the center of Mervans, and I was like doing comedy. So this was a nightmare. It was. I didn't know yet that that kind of show would be horrible and it was in the round, even worse. And I said this thing about penguins and everybody like lost their minds.
Starting point is 00:44:37 And when I woke up I was like, should I write that down? I'm like, no, it's fucking blather. Like, that's how dreams work. Where you're in a different reality where people would think that was funny. Yeah, there's only been a handful of times where it actually was a good idea. Yeah, usually it's just your brain convincing you. It's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah. And it's blather. But that's okay. Because then that enables you to go to New York and make it there and make it anywhere. You know what? People love penguins, Karen. They're funny, as hell. They are. They are dressed up for formal events. They walk hilariously. They have their own books.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Was that a sarcastic? I went from what the fuck are you talking about to see in that perfect little logo. And I thought of the shirts and I like do they make those shirts too. Pangwins are super fucking relatable. Yeah. They are. It are so rich area. They love once and they can't walk backwards and They only love once and never again. They're loyal and
Starting point is 00:45:59 they're not afraid to stand up for their friends. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, if you push a little penguin over and you will want to, because it's funny to see him fall, their friends will all gong up. I've seen it. And in videos, I haven't experienced it. They will dive in for a friend that falls in the ice. They're very loyal. And you got all of this from your friend, Mr. Popper?
Starting point is 00:46:26 Yes. Dr. Pimple Popper, he is side-interestist, penguins. Yeah, I get most of my stories from the doctor. From that guy. Good doctor. When we pick up Margaret in the morning, do we should offer breakfast? We're just rolling along at this, as Merrill Strape said, a glacial pace here. Just, I mean, we're at the height of LA traffic, 4.48 pm. Everybody's out looking around. Everybody knows it's hot girl summer. You can tell, the energy from these cars.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah. Everybody's got their eyes peeled. They are just so horny. Chao Bella, they all say. Is that Italian? It's Italian. And it means, what does it mean? Put it together.
Starting point is 00:47:22 You know what Chao means. Goodbye. And? and Bella I'm guessing your name is Bella I don't know no I don't know what bell chow is a little bit of a low-hoff for Italy it's hello and goodbye okay although I learned that they don't say it as much as American say it to them. Oh, of course. But, uh, Charles Bella means hello beautiful.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Oh, okay. Well, that, I should, you're right. I should know that because of my niece, her name is Bella. Oh, really? Isabella, which means is a beautiful. Oh, God, you know, I've enjoyed myself from that loving self-signored Rears It's Ugly, Giant Hostels, I'm sorry, but thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:13 So we're gonna want to get in these right lands. You are right now, that. I do. I feel like people obey this car. Kind of. It's a little bit like you have to fight your way in. Well, you're doing a great job. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Oh my gosh, your little map has other little cars. Yeah. It's like Frogger. Yeah. No frogs. It's like, don't go over there. Oh, they're going to hit. Oh.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Oh, we're trying right? Or are we getting on the freeway? We're getting on the entrance of the freeway. Yeah, the I-5, which is up ahead a little bit. Oh, yeah. So we don't have to go over there. We have to go five south. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Oh. That's five north out there. Motherfucker. So roll down your window and put your arm out. OK, I will do that. I will do that. Say it can be. I've never done that.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Can we get over? Can we get in there? Hi, they have tinted windows. I don't know if they were open or receptive. Hi. Oh, no, no, they are not open or receptive. Hi, thank you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Thank you, good job. I find that if I just say hi over and over, smiling like ridiculous. That car didn't know what we wanted or needed at all. Well, there was, it was not within the confines of the law that shade of tent was way too dark. They couldn't see out. Yeah, and God knows what they were doing in there. And so I'm going to take a left after this light.
Starting point is 00:49:40 We're going to cross under high period. Okay. And take an immediate left. Perfect. So I'll put it up on the... So pick up our... Yes. It's literally going to be dark when we get to work.
Starting point is 00:49:51 It's okay. It's... It's... We've had some time off. We've had some time off. And we... We didn't... It's okay.
Starting point is 00:50:01 We won't get better. Hopefully our friend, Margaret, who we've known for a very long time. You've known her very well. I'm Do a new friend? Yes, I hope I think so. It's I'm She is such an icon in comedy that I she's someone I am nervous around much like I am when I meet A pro skateboarder. I look up to her her but most comics it isn't that way anymore you know but with Margaret it is that way and of course it's a compliment. She is the kind of person that'll be like you know if she can't it doesn't work for her she'll let us know and she mostly probably doesn't care right I. I would imagine. Yeah. Especially because she knows me and I'm the kind of person that's like, hey, I want to
Starting point is 00:50:48 your old house and she's like, uh-huh, because that's the kind of thing I do. And now we're just getting right onto the 5 South to complete gridlocked traffic. Oh, man. Oh, the big old jacked up trucks letting me in. That's interesting. Yeah, that big ol' jacked up trucks letting me in. That's interesting. Yeah, that's not Northern California bro behavior. Normally those guys try to shoot at you. Yeah, it's a shame that I think that of trucks now,
Starting point is 00:51:15 but I do. Like that is a jacked up truck. There's a firearm and the guy socks are going to be pulled up to his knees. Yeah. Although socks to the knees, that's also skateboard behavior, isn't it? I know, it's a fine line.
Starting point is 00:51:29 You know, it depends on the footlight. That's when I have to investigate the footwear. And then what is the footwear tell you? Cowboy boots with tall socks? Yes. Then you know you're in danger. No, that's someone that shouldn't be operating a motor vehicle. If you have in danger. No, that's someone that shouldn't be operating a motor vehicle.
Starting point is 00:51:45 If you have a bus with socks, well, maybe that's just a cowboy on summer. On summer. Hot cowboy on summer. I have been thinking about getting boots. I was in Austin and I did look at some. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on them, but uh... As a person with wide feet, I can't consider that they're just not for me. Yeah, it's one of those shoes like a crock where someone says,
Starting point is 00:52:13 oh, they're so comfortable. I'm like, in spite of them not being comfortable. They're surprisingly comfortable. They somehow are defying the laws of physics. That's not comfortable. Comfortable if the heels made of a block of wood. Also, it's like I get, they're comfortable if you are a cowboy that does a certain job. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Ma'am, what are you doing? She's just preparing for the inevitable merge. When? Go now. Go now. There she is. That is a 17-year-old K's bug or a native-year-old. It helps when you're looking for your car in a parking lot. I used to write my name on my underwear. So you could find them in a parking lot? Yeah, yeah. Sometimes that's where I wake up. It's chances are 11 points. Where my underpants are. Where am I?
Starting point is 00:53:12 And then you check your underpants band and you're like Chris Fairbanks doing fine. Yeah, it's like momentum. Everything I need to know about myself is in my underpants. We've always said that since I was a child. In Italy, do they drive on the opposite side of the road? No. It's not a dumb question.
Starting point is 00:53:36 It was a smart question. Yeah, because I assume. We all had the same question. And then we were very grateful that it was the correct set of the road because we didn't think we could take the fear element of the style of driving combined with being on the other side of the road. Right. Yeah, it's I mean I've talked about it in my Million times, but the time I had to drive in a commercial on the wrong side of road and the added to that
Starting point is 00:54:00 We're old men on bicycles and sheep and very narrow roads like you said. And yes, it's a one lane road everywhere in England. And then Italy, there's lots of bicyclists. So like say, we went to Lake Como and it's real windy, windy, windy. Seems like it's a one way street. Then there's like a pot of bicyclists on the side. So the driver gets over and then a car's just coming straight out of.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Also they do a lot of passing on windy mountain roads. Just blind like curve passing. Oh, that scares me. It's scary. It's real scary. But then you've got this kind of Italian state-of-the-esque driver. Like the one I told you about that can text and drive and stick-shift at the same time.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Did he look like Jason Stetham? He had the vibe of Jason Stetham. Oh, I want to be over there. And I don't want to be killed. You're doing- Oh, God, it's Karaj got some get-up-and-pepp. Oh, look at these guys. Wow, they don't care.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Totally not allowed. No, they're just in the grand-play. This way, right? Nor- Yeah Wow, they don't care. Totally not allowed. No, they're just in the grand. This way, right? Nor, yes. Yeah. Okay. I know, help. So sorry.
Starting point is 00:55:10 No, it's all right. Uh, no. You're doing the more confirming after the fact. Yes, yes. I'm just, yes, sanding. Ha, ha, ha. I, it's funny that Lake Cuomo, I did not, I do not think of Italy.
Starting point is 00:55:23 I think of Perry Cuomo. Ha, ha, ha. So I just, doesn't, I, when you said Lake Cuomo, I do not think of Italy. I think of Perry Cuomo. So, I just, doesn't, when you said Lake Cuomo, I just think of upstate New York or something. And is there another Lake Cuomo? Very. Am I saying that? Yes. White.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Yes. It's Perry Cuomo. It's Andrew and his brother, whatever, Cuomo. Yes, yes. You're right about the state of New York and Cuomo, but in Italy, it's Cuomo, or like the Lake is Cuomo. Oh. COMO. You had me with I'm right about the one in New York, because I know I like to pull that state out of my ass hat. Good job.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Okay, tell me the exit now. It, we stay on the Glendale Freeway for 4.4 miles. Okay. I'm hauling us up here. Yeah. Boy, the car's got some peppin' it's cap. Yeah. Now there's your old car.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yeah, there it is. It can have chase your memories. Look at this lunatic, like speeding and breaking. I mean, sir, what are you doing? Yeah, that's like double foot. You can't be double foot. Don't double foot, nothing front of me. Oh, you're good at driving.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Smooth transition into lanes. Right? You drive with purpose and I feel safe. Okay, good. And I'm not being feel safe. Okay, good. And I'm not being sarcastic. Okay, good. Yes. This is a real adventure.
Starting point is 00:56:49 This is a true kickoff episode one season for Wheel Drive. This is what I needed. There's rarely times where I feel anxious or like I'm going to screw up when we're doing it over zoom, which just makes for better storytelling. And that's what we're here to do. We're here to tell a story. We're the succession of podcasts. Yeah, we really are.
Starting point is 00:57:15 And this is not our grand finale. Quite the opposite. The premiere of season four wheel drive. Four wheel drive. Four wheel drive. Oh, I'm enjoyable. Did you stay in the same place the whole time you were in Italy? No, we went to, we were in four different places. So we went to Tuscany, we went to Florence,
Starting point is 00:57:39 we went to Chincatera on the coast, and then we went to Lake Como at the end. Oh, man, I bet it's beautiful. I would like a slideshow on the coast and then we went to Lake Como at the end. Oh man, I bet it's beautiful. I would like a slideshow on the projector. Okay. I know you own. Not because of Mack and me, that was the old one. But it's been replaced with a newer model. I was sent one. But I don't have any white walls to screen my own Mack and me.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Oh, that's right. That would be really funny. If I invited people over to show them my vacation pictures. I think you should. I don't style. It's something that people use to be a joke. Like, oh no, we have to see the slides. Like that would be something as a child.
Starting point is 00:58:16 There would be fondue. And my parents would actually show slides. I don't know where all these photos have gone because I don't even know what I look like as a child anymore. I think't know where all these photos have gone because I don't even know what I look like as a child anymore. I think they probably donated them all to like very sought after. Like child photos, especially the ones with later housing. God, I was a kid. There were there's a guy on TikTok that goes and finds people's old vacation slides and then puts the slides together on TikTok,
Starting point is 00:58:45 which I think is awesome. And because someone offered to find my crosswalking, I already searched, so I know they're very difficult to find, but someone did offer to research and find through micro-fee shopping, I guess, newspaper stuff, old photos. Oh, that's good. Is this starting to rain a little? Ooh, we're getting some weather. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:59:12 That's a lot. It's been driving so long the weather changed. Yeah, I did want this podcast. The one thing I was missing was possibly Slippy Streets. And by the enemy, Slippery. Yeah. Oh, we got a case of Slippy streets. Uh-oh. Be careful. He's gonna say it at their time. Slippy streets. My favorite certain words just have a nice
Starting point is 00:59:41 cadence. Slippy streets is one. Jamira Que is another. Yes. Oh, God, that was a beautiful hab. What was that, Kangel? It looked like a furry kangal. What herfuck? You could get away with that. A lavender furry kangal. That woman was doing it. Yeah, you know that she loves that hat. And I wish we had been on foot so we could go. Great hat.
Starting point is 01:00:04 Could she be like a woman in Arthur? Oh, I know, I heard. Is that a line in Arthur? Yeah, he's drunk, and he's about to say he and Susan will not be getting married. He was just beat up by Susan's father. And he didn't know what to say. He fell awkward, everyone's staring at Arthur Arthur and he's limping and bloodied. And there's a lady with a floppy hat
Starting point is 01:00:28 that she was already complimented by the great Liza Monnelli. Yep. And so just back to back compliments on this floppy hat. And she was just elated. So my point is always compliment. Oh, he has that's right. The lady's hat because they're going to go on out on a lamb.
Starting point is 01:00:48 It's like I'm going to wear my fun hat. Yep. I hope someone reminds me I'm fun. Do it. Also, I think these days, you know, trends come big, bold, and you might find yourself wearing a, like a ballerro in the middle of the day. It does feel pretty risky.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Like you think it's a good idea because it's what everyone else in social media is doing. Then you're just out and about with like a big old wide brim hat on. Yeah, and a lot of times, and I've done this myself, like some of them a loud complicated shirt. And I'm like, great shirt when I really don't think so at all.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I just know they went out on a lamb there. I'm gonna wear my shirt with purple and mustard. Yeah. You're saying great idea to risk it. Yes. I'm supporting your, your, your, your bad taste. Bad taste. But boy, you have bad taste.
Starting point is 01:01:42 I leave that part out. I'm supporting your freedoms. You're have bad taste I leave that part out I'm supporting your freedoms you're very freedom we have a three eight seven one forty two oh god we gotta turn on the standard that would add to the chaos I'm gonna drive by this guy real fast oh this guy's he's evading I believe we're no he's just pulling over in an orderly fashion. But at first it looked like an evasion. Oh, well they don't have to pull over. That's just a college campus cop. No, community, yep.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Glendale Community College cop. You don't even need to pull over. What does that girl do? Oh, you know, this is the Glendale Community College. It is. She was doing Glendale Community College. It is. She was doing Glendale Community College stuff, probably looking at her notes on her phone. She's studying for a test while driving. He's like, I know you.
Starting point is 01:02:34 You have some libraries books that are overdue. Yeah, yeah. Put your hands on the hood. A lot of people forget that's a jailable offense. Do you know that when I was little, I checked out like eight in cyclopedia brown books, and then I didn't return them, and I knew they were overdue,
Starting point is 01:02:51 and then they just put them in the back of my closet and never told anybody, and they stayed there for months. And my mom's like, what was the plan here? Like why wouldn't you just tell me and we would go to the library? Were you at an age where you didn't realize you were costing her money? Yes, young enough to not understand the fines,
Starting point is 01:03:11 but also I think it's a good reflection of how my sister and I were often left to our own devices to fix things that were actually adult level problems. Right, right. So then it was like, oh shit, I don't, I can't get to the library and I don't have the money to pay for this. So I'm just going to hide the books. Yeah, yeah, that's, I had a roommate that if a potter pan got burnt or was uncleanable, he just put it in our clothes washer.
Starting point is 01:03:39 And then you'd find it later with last of us, Malt, on it. But when you said insect lipidia brown books, I thought brown and cyclopedias, but insect lipidia brown was a child's sleuth? Yes, a real smart boy that just kind of knew trivia stuff, and that would help him solve mysteries around town. Oh really? Yeah, really? Oh really? Well I was thinking trivia is not like what's the where is Lake Pomo and then he's like the murder weapon is here. He's like it it's late, quomo. I should, I, I, all these childhood books. I never even read back then.
Starting point is 01:04:33 You didn't? No. Too cool? Yeah, for school. And there was a lot of reading at school. Yeah. I wanted to stay cool. Yep.

No, that sounds like some Montessori bullshit. Yeah, it does Yeah, yeah, it really does we created our own lesson plans lesson does. Yeah, yeah. It really does. We created our own lesson plans, lesson plans. Yeah. I hope that cop isn't going to pull me over. Well, we were driving like community college kids. Okay. Now we just go all the way straight down the street. Now I know where.
