Keeping Records - The Irish Goodbye (with Producer Anya and Producer Casey)

Episode Date: October 28, 2022

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance... I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin', Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin', Don't let some Hell bent heart leave you bitter, When you come close to sellin' out reconsider, Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.) I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. Dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. I hope you dance... I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years And wonder where those years have gone.)"

This is a HeadGum Original. In 1977, NASA sent two solid gold records into space so that aliens might find them and understand life on Earth. I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. And friendly wishes to all who may encounter this voyager. Now, we're making new records with our friends. Hello everyone! Hello!

Hello and greetings to everyone! Peace be upon you! We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship. We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of this immense universe that surrounds us. Hello from the children of planet Earth. Well, well, well. Well. Look what we found ourselves doing

wait a minute how did we get here look at us recording the last keeping records episode ever that's right the last one? You guys didn't know? That was, I guess, by design. Who would have thought? That's kind of what we're doing. Just get it, rip a band-aid. Mentally prepare. I'm sure you saw when you clicked this episode that our guests today are the iconic people that work on this podcast. Anya and Casey.

This podcast've done to you. I do feel like we did this podcast. We sort of took you. This podcast was done unto you. I don't think any of you were a part of it. But, yeah.

But, yeah. It's been a beautiful time, a touching time. So true. I've laughed. I have too. Well, I was going to. I've laughed. I have too. Well, I was going to say I cried and then it was like, well, that's a little real.

But, yeah. I mean, it's been so fun. I've been honored to join in its golden years. Yeah, we're putting this podcast down like an old dog. Well, shit happens. Yeah. Shit happens.

This podcast was shit. And that means it happened. It happened. The ending is the shit happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's shit.

But for real, thank you guys for listening and being such fun little listeners, little freakazoids. Yeah. It would be nothing without the freaks. So true. This podcast would be so lame

if you guys weren't so fucking freaky. And thanks to Shelby for being the rat or die of this podcast. Thank you, AJ, for joining me in this last couple of months. I've had a blast. Anyway. Anyway. Put your stuff together for your guest of the day. Put your weird stuff together. Put your freaky little stuff together for your guests of the day. Put your weird stuff together. Put your

freaky little stuff together for your guests. I actually didn't think about how insane it is for you to announce this is the last episode. Don't bring us out. The little things now mortalize. They're going to hate watch.

You love to hate them and hate to love them. Which they do unto each other as well. It's the parents of the podcast. Casey and Anya. Yeah. Wow. Wow.

Look who we have here. It's Anya and Casey. What? Those guys? I got to ask you guys a question. Yeah. The one episode we have you on is guests. Freezing cold.

Couldn't be colder. It's really cold in here right now. I think it's cold outside and then I put on the AC because I'm afraid of you. I was sweating all over. No, yeah. I was sweating. EJ was sweating on the walk here. Yeah.

Took my sweatshirt off. Folks, it is cold right now in LA, yeah. I was sweating. EJ was sweating on the walk here. Yeah. Took my sweatshirt off. Folks, it is cold right now in LA, though. It's 77. It's high 70s. It's very cold. It's 77 degrees out here. Welcome to Los Angeles, sunny Los Angeles, where it's 77 degrees and bright, not a cloud in the sky. Couldn't be warmer, really.

Perfect day to go to the beach or have fun with your friends in the park. But if you're indoors in this studio, bring a puffer jacket. Here's the thing. I need my hat. I'm so honored that you asked me to be the guest today. Yeah. Why are we starting on this note? Well, I just think it's interesting.

It's just, oh, that's interesting. I'm like, oh. That's my reaction. First time we have you on this note. Well, I just think it's interesting. It's just, oh, that's interesting. I'm like, oh, that's my reaction. First time we have you on the show. It's been so hot. Hot. No, we do not. Well, off the record. We'll tell you later why.

It seemed like you guys hated how hot it was, so we figured if we made it as cold as possible. Right. There's no pleasing you. And for your first and last episode, we made it. Ice cold. Burr. I think we just kind of skip over this part. Oh.

Maybe you got this. Just chatting part of the show. I think the part where they have a problem with us, we just kind of bleep out. So this episode's going to end up super choppy.

A lot of places. I'm just like, I think you forget who edits the podcast. Not even me. It's Casey. I'm editing right now. I'm currently editing

as we go. Anya, you're constantly talking about editing the audio. I literally don't know who does what. I think that's not an accident. But we kind of keep it vague. So I can blame Casey.

Casey can blame me. If you guys think I run this show, I hope this shows you that I do not. Every time you haven't liked something, it's not my fault. Every time you've liked something, it is not my fault. Yeah. Yeah. It's mine. Yeah. When something's good, it's EJ my fault. Every time you've liked something, it is not my fault. Yeah. Yeah. It's mine. Yeah.

When something's good, it's EJ's fault. When something's bad, it's pulling It's Anya's fault. pop its strings. It's Anya's fault. It's Anya's fault.

I listen to how you guys talk about me when I'm not in the room. Yeah, because I am recording it and she does listen. It's not your fault. Okay.

I, I, you don't, no one needs to see how the sausage is made. I don't know. Do we talk about how the sausage is made? Okay, so technically I'm an audio producer and I could edit the show, but since this is a video and audio show, Casey edits as the video editor. Okay.

I can cut anything I want. I edit the audio because it's easier to work with the video. There you go, folks. You've always wondered, and now you have your answer. Yeah. No one's wondering. You've always wondered. Hey, how does this show get made?

People are constantly DMing me. Hey, who's editing the audio? And who's editing the video? Shelby, how do you do? Who's Casey? Who's Shelby? Who's EJ? Yeah, yeah.

That's crazy when they ask that. Seven times a week. Who is Shelby? Who is EJ? Which one's which? Yeah, which one's which? That's a huge question. That's crazy that they ask that. Seven times a week. Who is Shelby? Who is AJ? Who's on use case? Yeah, which one's which? That's a big one. Yeah, you guys don't even introduce yourselves ever.

I'm Shelby Joelle Wolstein. Oh, legal name? Whoa. Bleep that. Bleep the middle name. Okay. Yeah, bleep the middle name. I don't need editing notes that are just bleeping stuff because you feel like it should be bleeped.

Yeah, bleep it. Every time something has to be bleeped, it's just more work for me to do. For the audio editor. Casey. Okay. Oh, Casey hates his job. Oh, God. And that's why.

No. Cut that No Keep it Keep it We're getting fired After this one Too late for us Oh my god

We're not really prepped. We weren't really media trained for how to deal with this. Yeah. Lunch and chow. No, for real, guys. It's so nice to have you on the podcast. Yeah. In front of the camera.

For once. For once. I don't have a camera. You're in front of the camera. Number two. No, I just don't have my own. I gave it up. You don't need to.

Yeah, hey, give it up for one last time to your ghost. No, listen, Anya, we'll start with you. What's the first thing you would put on your record? We're going right in. Why not? I feel like you said you had seven things, so I'm trying to. Yeah, you were like, get through it fast. Seven things I hate the most

that you do. You make me love you. What is this? Do you know? I have no idea what that is. I would never be guest on the show. What is that? The seven things I hate about you. Your fate, your fate, I'm insecure.

You love me, you hate me. By whom? I do love her. You made me laugh, made me cry. By who? Miley Cyrus. I do love her. You made me laugh. Made me cry. I don't know which side to buy. I do like this rock version of Miley Cyrus that she's turned into over the past few years.

She's got a great rock voice. She's a perfect cover artist. She's got a good voice. Backyard Sessions, anybody? Oh, my God. Thank you for bringing that up. Cover of Fade Into You is good. Her cover of Fade Into You is good.

I don't know if I know it. I don't think I've heard that one. It's good. And then the Heart of Glass cover. Oh, yeah, the Heart of Glass cover. The Heart of Glass cover is great. What you don't know is that even though that song sounds like a rock song, it was recorded in one of her early aughts.

Sort of as a rock track on an otherwise pop album, I would say. She's always had it in her. Miley, we knew you could. Crazy stuff with her dad right now. Oh, yeah. He's marrying some child, right? Yeah. Not a child. She's like 30. Oh, yeah. He's marrying some child, right? Yeah. Not a child.

She's like 30. No, I think she's like 24. She's like 24. That's baby mode. I really like that couple. I was just 24. I know. I like her mom.

I thought that they were cute. Yeah. Well, how many kids do they have? Like nine? Yeah. Have you ever seen the other ones? Oh. Oh.

It's just crazy. Yeah. It's just crazy that there's Milo. Well, Trace is in 303 or Metro Station? Oh, really? Yeah. Trace Cyrus is in Metro Station, I think. I'll prove it.

Is that the boy? That's no worries. Yeah. I don't know. I've never heard the name Trace Cyrus before. You should look all of them up. It's quite a study in genetics. Wait.

Why? Do they all look the same or they all look weird? Trace Cyrus is in Metro Station. I think that, why? Do they all look the same or do they all look weird? Trey Cyrus is in Metro Station. I think that would be weird if they all look the same. They do all look like siblings, but it's just like one of them is like a star and the rest are just like people. No, Trey Cyrus looks exactly like Miley. Noah does look a lot like Miley. Okay, but it is kind of weird, not even just for like famous people, but have you ever had the experience of you have a friend, you know them super

well, you meet their siblings and the siblings do just look like off brand versions of the friend? Yeah, like you know those like little weird versions of your friend? Remember when there was like a Snapchat filter that makes you look like a different gender that was like a thing for a second?

My friend and her brother, like they just did it and they looked like the other one. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, yeah, you guys are exactly the same. My brother and I did a face swap once. No. Looked the same. Looked literally the same.

It was awesome. I have a bobblehead of my dad. You guys can't laugh because he's dead. Yeah. And. Cruel. I heard laughter in the room. Cruel.

Cruel. I'm crying. I'm crying because it's so touching. Yeah. Oh, I in the room I'm crying I'm crying because it's so touching but I do have a bobble head of him and I once did a face swap with it

and and I'll say it we look alike yeah oh yeah my dad and I look alike

me and the bobble head people are always like you look like your mom and then they see my dad and they go, mm-mm. Yeah, yeah. You look like your papa. Papa. Papa.

Hey. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Okay. Am I first? Yeah.

Yeah, I think, yeah. Okay. Oh. No worries. First on my record. Okay, so I tried, mine are really earnest. That's good. That's fine. I on my record. Okay, so I tried. Mine are really earnest. That's good. That's fine.

I love earnestness. First on my record is the library. Yes. Thank you, EJ. Oh, I'm already. Thank you. You don't even have to expand. There's nothing.

That's it. Every time I go into a library, I'm like, I can't believe this is here. Yeah. I can't believe we're still, they're allowing this. You can go in there. You can take a book out. You can leave. You're paying no money.

Free. Free. Mm-hmm. And they haven't shut it down yet. No. You can use the internet. You can talk to people. It's like communities.

It's incredible. I feel like the aliens should know that we have like one good thing left. Yes. Yeah. We did one thing right and we didn't really change it. Yeah. Shelby's upset. Well, I'm not a good reader. Yes. Yeah. We did one thing right and we didn't really change it. Shelby's upset. I'm not a good reader. That's okay.

You can go surf the web. You can rent DVDs. No, I tried to surf the web at the Silver Lake Library recently and I gotta tell ya, I needed to have a library card. I don't own a library card so then I couldn't use it.

You were at the library. You could've gotten one there. The people who work at this library are actively unkind to me. I can't explain it. I walk into a library. You could have gotten one there. People who walk at this library are actively unkind to me. I can't explain it. I walk into a library. Unbelievable. When I walk into a library, librarians think I'm there to cause a ruckus.

Are you? I'm very rarely there to cause a ruckus. I went there once or twice. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was a kid at one time in my life. When I go to the library now, it is usually to write somewhere that is not my house, but that isn't as loud as a coffee shop. Like I'm literally there to be a little quiet working girl. And it's incredible that it's free.

It's a free public space. Totally. So is Starbucks, by the way. Interesting. Why do you say the only one? Because actually. There's one on every corner. But I brought a water and the librarian would not stop screaming at me about drinking my water.

And I was like, what in the heck could I be doing so wrong by hydrating in this library? She wouldn't let you open a water bottle? Because you were taking your mask off or what? To take the sip, put it back on. No, I know, but was that the reason why she was citing? she just said,

we don't really do beverages in here. I was like, I literally feel like it's okay. I looked around. Every single other person had a beverage. I was just the only one getting yelled at.

Did you tell that to the library? No, I kept my, I said, okay. You gotta go to the Los Feliz library. Way better vibes. They don't care,

wait, I mean, you can do whatever you want. I do crazy stuff. I mean, they do deal with a lot of crazy stuff, I'm sure. They do. As a public space. Where's that one?

Los Feliz Library? Yeah. That's right in Los Feliz. Wait, there's one in. It's on Hillhurst. There's a really good one in Cypress Park. Oh. That's the one I go to.

Folks, there's libraries all over this fucking town. Yeah, everywhere. That's what I'm saying. And is there? It's crazy. Yeah. It is. It's crazy. Los Feliz. That's a one I go to. Folks, there's libraries all over this fucking town. Yeah, everywhere. That's what I'm saying. It's crazy. Yeah. It is. It's crazy.

It's a really special place. I think all libraries should be pretty. Here's my problem. The Silver Lake Library, ugly as all hell, get out. I know. It looks nice from the outside, but it's not that nice inside. Yeah, the outside, gorgeous. Yeah.

Gorgeous. I mean, it's publicly funded. That's kind of its whole thing. Yeah, it's publicly funded. That's kind of its old thing. Yeah, it's publicly funded. In college, I used to study, like do my homework or, you know, work on projects, whatever, at the Boston Public Library. Oh, yeah. And it is such a gorgeous library. That's how libraries should be.

It's like a reading room and like the little green lamps and it's incredible. No, I think libraries are good. I just, I never feel at peace there. I know that'm i'm you bring some kind of energy that they kind of seek out they they literally deal with like the like a cross-section of humanity but you're the thing that they yeah yeah yeah when i get into a library it's war oh do you think it were you wearing your shirt that says i love to fuck shit up in the public library? Was that you? Were you wearing that shirt?

Sometimes people just wear shirts. They don't have to mean anything. It has like a skull and crossbones on it. They don't have to mean anything. That is so – I'd like to go in with you and I want to like – I want to see what happens and why. People just don't like me in these places. I can't explain it. You bring like a capitalist energy. They're like, this is not what we're talking about.

I mean, I feel that energy from you right now. When I was little, I just remember this. Just remember this. When I was little in the summer, I would volunteer to put away books in the library. Like I had a job. And I'd put away books in the children's room. Oh, that is cute. And then I'd go to the pool.

That was like my ideal day. I was like working in the morning, a little pool time in the afternoon. Anja's always been a workaholic. You're an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, I have. And that's sad. I love work. It's such a sucker thing.

Yeah, anyways. You love to work. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I can't tell you. That song we know, Casey, right? I do know that song, yeah. I thought you were about to say, I don't. And I was like, Casey, Casey.

Oh, my God. No, he knows. Rihanna. Casey, Casey, Casey. The my God. No, he knows. Rihanna. Casey, Casey, Casey. The last thing I'll say about libraries is that I do think my college library takes the cake for the ugliest library in the world. I mean, it's Ohio. Well.

Okay. Okay. Oh, God. That was really, really harmful on you. I'm sorry. That's so rude. No, it's okay. Oh, it for that. No, it's okay. A witch?

I was like, Boston is beautiful. Worst city in the world. Boston is, yeah, thank you. Boston is the worst city in the world. It is. Oh, my God. We're getting inflammatory on the podcast. Yeah, wait.

Actually, that's what's going to get people really mad is saying Boston's the worst city in the world. No, I think as someone from, we know. I mean, yeah. We know. I really mad at saying Boston's the worst city. No, I think as someone from – we know. I mean, yeah. We know. I don't know if it's the worst. I've been to worse places than Boston. Oh, what?

Ohio? I've never been to Ohio. You should try it out because it's really nice. I've been to Scottsdale, Arizona, though. Yeah, that's true. Okay, that's fair. For the corporate retreat. Boston's really like masquerading.

They all funneled on into the company Miata, drove on down to Scottsdale, Arizona, and hit the top gulf. Now that happened. Actually, that happened, which is crazy. I know. I've never lied on this podcast. Me neither. You were saying something about your ugly library. I'm sorry.

Oh, just for the listeners, Google Oberlin College Library, Mud Library. Mud? It's called Mud or you call it Mud? It's called Mud. Yeah. Why? Well, actually, no, they changed its name after I graduated, but I forget what it's called now. Because they were like, people are really mean about this.

Dirt Library. Yeah, it's called Dirty Dirt Library. But no, it's brutalist architecture, which I find to be heinous. Just give it a Google. Seriously. I love brutalist architecture. I find find to be heinous. Just give it a Google. Seriously. I love brutalist architecture. I find it to be brutal. Some people think it's cool.

I'm into it. Rue loves to be like, it's actually a really cool looking library. I'm into like goth, post-punk sort of shit. So, you know. Casey, you'll love it. See in a brutalist building, I'm like. Casey's like, I'm going to Ohio. You'll love it.

And then Google next company retreat. I'll look up the furniture inside it. That'll probably get you going crazy. I would love to Ohio. You'll love it. And then Google next company retreat. Look up the furniture inside it. That'll probably get you going crazy. I would love to see Casey. He's going to go crazy over there. Never seen it in my life. We had a dining hall under a dorm at my college. It was like dorm, dorm, and then underground between the two was the dining hall.

Why? And they called it the Grundle. Oh, God. That's exactly... Bummer. When you said mud library, I was like, are y'all calling it that or is it called that? Because for the first two years of my college career, I thought

it was legally called Grundle. It is not. I forget what it was called, but it wasn't Grundle. Obviously, the university didn't want to call it the Grundle. I mean, they wouldn't know what that was even. I like the outside of the building. The inside looks insane.

The inside is insane. Like fluorescent lighting, horrifying weird chairs. They have to have fluorescent lighting. It's kind of standard. Isn't that sick? The chairs are crazy. It's pretty gay. I don't understand how you sit in them.

You don't. Kidding. It's straight up. Do you like roll around on these nasty chairs that have been there for like 50 years? God. And everyone's like, yeah, I'm just doing some. Okay. Anyway, I don't know.

I don't need to go down this street. I tell you guys, EJ got a haircut and got mean. Yeah, my vibes are totally different. I'm fucked up. He hates libraries. Yeah, he hates libraries. He fucked up. He hates libraries. He hates libraries. He's cold.

He's pissed. It is chilly. Do you want me to turn off the AC? No. I'll do it. I'll do it right now. No. Look, we've done the hot episode.

This is the cold episode. Yeah, I'm like holding in shivers. People are going to be like, why is she so shaky? Well, I'm freezing. Yeah, I can feel your teeth chattering. I feel it on the couch. Are you really? No. No. I mean feel your teeth trembling. I feel it on the couch. Are you really? No.

No. I mean, well, not no. A little bit. When Casey tells us to throw it a break, I'll turn it off. Wow. We still got some time. Okay, what else?

Should we ask Casey now what one of his is? Well, I was going to say, do you just want aliens to know that it's just like a free place they can go? Do you want them to spend time? Do you want them to take a book?

Yeah. Kind of any of the above. I just want them to be like, there's one thing that humans did right. And then somehow it like flew under the radar and nobody ruined it. And knock wood. I'm literally always like, when are they going to take this away from us?

And so I want them to be like, this is the best of humanity. It's like a place where you can go and take something for free that is nice. And people are usually nice to you there. And like will help. You can have like a knitting club there or you can

go there and like ask for help. You can go to the library. They have like resume writing workshops. They've got like they take your picture for job interviews or something. They like help you with job interviews. No. It's an awesome place.

It's ever – yeah. It's also huge in a city like Los Angeles where there's a huge homeless population. It's one of the only places you can go and spend extended periods of time, charge your phone. Go to the restroom. Go to the restroom. But there's also like any small town you go to, like they're going to have one. Yeah. They're going to have a post office and a library.

Two things. It's all you need. Did you guys know the thing about um accounting for the weight of the books it's like an architecture thing no there's a library that was built i don't remember where sorry anya would usually search this for me she never saw there's a library that was built and it started sinking like every year. Into the ground. And they were like, why? And it's because when they built it, they didn't account for the weight of the books. Whoa.

So like the building was fully like going. I'm looking at the website. The second result on Google is sinking library fact or fiction. It better say fucking fact. Oh, God. Because then you just lied on the pod. Okay, it's a blog post. It starts off with, I'm a big fan of the television comedy show, How I Met Your Mother.

You talked about that. Yeah, I've seen the show. I've seen the program. Okay, so in one episode, the architect on the show relayed his friends a famous... Ted Mosby. Yeah. Yeah. A famous architecture story that I'd heard for the first time years ago. So that's where you heard it. So that's where you heard it. I don't know if that's where I heard it. Well, I'm sure

that's where you heard it. I don't know if that's where I heard it. I could have heard it in any number of places. Maybe the internet. Maybe a book. Maybe at the library. You already said you don't read. Yeah. I literally don't read. Yeah. I literally don't like the vibes in this room today. Is it because we're talking too much?

No, it's because I think I'm the heel. And we're the toes. It's true. Sorry, I'm reading. I'm trying to read as quickly as possible. Oh, sorry. I'm just reading something. I don't know. That's like when there's words on a page. I'm not doing this, by the way.

Shelby, I'm on your side. I'm not shaming you. Listen, here's another crazy library fact that I know for reals is true. The biggest public library fire in history was the Los Angeles Public Library downtown. Burnt to the ground in the 80s. And there was a lot. A good year for fires. A good year for fires.

Were people hurt? I want to know after Shelby said that. No one was hurt. But there was an incredible book. It was a good year for fires. There was an incredible book. Everyone should read the library book by Susan Orlean. Seriously.

Oh, I love her. Oh, my God. Yeah, she's fine. And you love libraries? You've got to read this book. Okay. She's fine. Remember when she got drunk on Twitter?

Yes. Yeah. I love her so much. She's so crazy. I love her. Talking about Susan Orlean. That's just crazy. She's amazing.

Totally. No, she's amazing. Totally. Freaking genius. Casey, are you hearing this? I can't believe it. It's kind of like TBD on if it happened or not. It's like unclear. It did. It did.

Okay. Casey, what would you put on your record? Okay. Wait, Casey, what would you put on your record? Okay, so I wrote down like a string of things. And I realized that a lot of them are movie related. Because the one thing I care about more than anything in the world is movies. Casey, if I can interrupt you really quickly. I was going to put some movie things on mine. And I said, I'm going to let Casey have this.

You figured mine would be movie heavy? I also want to say at the top, I guess not at the top, that it's weird that producing the show for a year, I didn't once think about this before we decided to do it. Anya doesn't really like the show. How have I never thought about that? I'm just so dialed

into doing my job, kind of staying in my lane. Workaholic, famously. Anyways, Casey, keep going. Yeah, so I'll ask you guys, do you want to hear a movie thing or do you want to hear one of the few things that aren't movie related? Let's start with a movie thing. Shelby's yawning. She'd rather be anywhere else.

Yeah, that's cool. I hate to be called out on that. All right. A movie thing. The vibes are perfect in here, by the way. Let's send the aliens a full, working, in its prime, Planet Hollywood restaurant. Wow. That's so many things in one.

That's such a cheat. I had a cheat, too, but that's fine. How is it so many things in one? You're just sending them so many cool things. It's a planet. It's so many things in one. That's such a cheat. I had a cheat too, but that's fine. How is it so many things in one? You're just sending them so many cool things. It's a planet. It's Hollywood. It's a restaurant. It's fully functioning at its prime.

You're sending like a billion movie references. It's great. That's smart. You're so mad. I want them to be able to go in and order, you know, like a lights camera action burger or whatever. Or whatever. It's not that I know the menu by heart. Whatever. I don a lights, camera, action burger or whatever. Or whatever. It's not that I know the menu by heart. Whatever.

I don't know. Lights, camera, action burger. Lights, camera, action burger. Sound speeds, fries. Casey, just rattle me off the menu. Chili. Wow, that's actually genius. Have you guys ever eaten at a Planet Hollywood?

No, I haven't, actually. I think I have in Florida as a kid. So Shelby's very young. Did you say I'm very young? Very young. I think there's only one Planet Hollywood restaurant that's still operating, and it's in Las Vegas. You'd think it'd be in Hollywood. You'd think it would be down the street.

You would think. Actually, no, Vegas makes perfect sense. Yeah, right? Yeah. I changed my mind. It should be in Vegas. The Museum of Other Cities. Yeah.

Beautiful. But, you know, who... Oh, my God, the Museum of Other Cities is haunting. It's true. The Museum of Other Cities. Who wouldn't want to eat lunch looking at their favorite props from their favorite movies? I mean, I know you would love that. Yes, and I did do it before.

And I wish. I would love to do it again. I could do it again. With the aliens. With the aliens. Do you want them to know what the references are? Well, in the restaurant, they usually have like a screen grab or like an explanation of the movie so they can look it up. Why do I think that they roller skate there?

Yes. They don't roller skate there? Huh? Do they roller skate there? Yeah, the servers. Like at Sonic? No. They should.

What's the other one? What does that have to do with Hollywood? More fun. Oh, more fun. More fun. Is Hard Rock like the music version of that? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. But there's a lot of those. Why is there still a lot of those? Let's talk about that. Oh, so people like music more than movies. I think because they made it a, like a, that was like a, like they made it into a collector's item. Planet Hollywood didn't do that for themselves.

They didn't know how to market that for themselves. Planet Hollywood was owned by Sylvester Stall They didn't really make the pivot. Planet Hollywood was owned by Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few other big time 90s Hollywood icons and Hard Rock

is owned by the Seminole tribe in Florida. You know this offhand? Yes. Well, I'm from Florida, so I know all about the hard rock. Are all hard rocks on native land? All hard rocks are owned by native people.

I didn't know that. I believe it's all of them. That's crazy. At least in the United States. Wait, we should all be supporting hard rock. That's okay. Like yesterday. I was like, it's kind of corny in there in the United States. Wait, we should all be supporting Hard Rock. That's what I'm saying. Like yesterday. I was like,

it's kind of corny in there. We shouldn't go. No. It's like a solidarity. We're all going on Hard Rock. In hindsight, actually, let's get down to the Hard Rock. Yeah.

Buy all their t-shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Such a good excuse to buy t-shirts. It's interesting that they did not mismanage their brand the way Sylvester Stallone did. Yeah.

They turned it – they made resorts and stuff. Well, I think they understood that – The assignment. The amount of people who want to look at Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd costume while they eat a Lights, Camera, Action burger was very small. It was in this room. Yeah. It was the one man in this room. Yeah. Yeah. Was the one man in this room. Yeah. Cool.

I'm glad that the aliens will get a chance to experience that. Do they call those cocktails crafty? That's pretty good. You're so good at that. I know. I think all of these things are too inside. I think it's probably more like the Forrest Gump gumbo or something. Oh, right, because of the shrimp.

Wait, there's a restaurant. Yeah, there is the bubblegum shrimp. That's weird, right? But I think they're named after movies and not like the boom. It would be cool if people would feel more in the industry. Yeah, people want more stuff that's for LA by LA. Yeah. An important part of the culture is the city.

And people want to be a part of it. Yeah, wherever they are. What are movie sets like? It's a 27 club sandwich. Oh, Jesus. That's for the music one? That's for hard rock. I don't care.

Pitch that to hard rock. It's Hollywood. It's Hollywood. Some of them are actors. Some of them are singers. All I know is they're all famous. And they're hyphenates. It's Hollywood. It's Hollywood. It's Hollywood. Some of them are actors. Some of them are singers. All I know is they're all famous. And they're good. Rest in peace.

I passed 27, so I get to have joy. Uh-oh. Are you 27? No. I know. I'm 25. Baby. Oh, everyone's pissed.

No, we knew. Yeah, you guys knew Shelby you knew oh god oh god this is yeah I am 25

this is why this episode is going to be so interesting is that we're all from different walks of life yeah we're all so this is where I ask my grandparents

Anya and Casey where was it when people went to Planet Hollywood for fun I go if you were you were alive when they sent

the first ones up to space why would you send them out now that it's different yeah I was like in 77 we did this

our generation but now because you were what 24 in 1977 I look really good true

for age however old that makes you yeah can't do the math don't ask us to 60 Good

Around Just around 60 Approximately That makes sense Wait no I said you were 24 then 65 What else would you send up To the aliens Anya?

Wait before Moving the show along In a way that's Before Anya answers that We should Take a break I'd like to throw it a break so we'll be right back okay everyone's agreeing to throw a break

wait guys stop it hold on hold on it's time for a break everyone be quiet for like 15 seconds just time for a break I would like to be the one that says that we have to go to break now this is going really well I was gonna wait to are we recording yeah yeah I was gonna ask

kind of on the record, how it's going. Yeah. It's fun. I was getting kind of bullied. Oh. About what? Just like some stuff like the hi my mother thing.

No, that was just a callback to an earlier episode. That was a compliment. Yeah, that was a compliment from me because it's like we all wish that we could understand that show and also there was also the stuff about like libraries and if I had known that you had such

a horrible experience with them I would never have brought that up no you had to add them it was true to your record I'm just saying for me personally when I go in there I feel like I'm under arrest. Yeah. So when Anya said that, it was triggering. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but. Yeah.

I mean, it was a little. No, that's fair. P-T-S-D-E. What's the E stand for? It's a Y. P-T-S-D-E. It's a dash Y. It quotes.

Yeah. Dash Y, yeah. It quotes, yeah. Yeah, I can't explain it to you, but librarians see me and think about their worst memory. Maybe it's because you look so youthful. Yeah, I was just going to say, have you considered they might be jealous? Oh, yeah, that also. They're jealous of you. There's a freedom to not being able to read. They have to do so much reading. Oh, my God, constantly. And it's the constant, like, I have to seem well-read, and you can kind to do so much of reading. Oh, my God, constantly.

And it's the constant, like, I have to seem well-read, and you can kind of just shed all of that. Yeah, I walk in and I go, what are these things on the shelf? Yeah, you're, like, knocking stuff on the floor. I mean, I've seen you in a library. I'm like, that's a whole lot of paper for what? Right. Get a Kindle.

I always walk in and I say, get a Kindle. Yeah, get a Kindle. You don't want everyone there. That's true. Well, you can rent books for your Kindle for free from the library. Just going to say that. Download the Libby app. So then what is their problem?

I don't know. Another cool thing that the library does is if you have a library card, you could sign up for this streaming service called Canopy. And they show. I love Canopy. They got a bunch of great movies that you can watch from home. All you need is a library card. Welcome back to Get in the Library.

I just weeded Casey and EJ. If we don't all use it we will lose it. Shelby, I've never been famous library hater. Yeah, this is Jerry Springer. Bring out the librarian. You guys fight. It fight the sweetest looking person

you've ever seen who's holding a knife to my neck I mean it is like that's the worst part about being hated at the library is everyone there

is allegedly kind right really really nice patient you feel singled out which is that's that's crazy it's like and valid what is up with you guys?

I'm here to vibe. If you're a librarian, like, comment below. You know, like, do you like Shelby? Yeah, kind of let us know what you think. Let us know what vibes Shelby gives you. I guess leave a review on this podcast for some reason. No comment from Casey and Anya. I guess leave a review or whatever if you want.

Or whatever. It's good of you to bring that up now. Yeah. Are we not bringing it up in the intro? We haven't recorded the intro. No, no, no. That's what I meant. I meant like in this episode.

It's good that we're starting to ask for. You mean telling people to leave reviews? I mean, listen. We've been asking. We've racked them up. You guys really have them in there. Yeah. But, you know, for real. Seriously.

We just had Casey. So, Anya, what's next on your record? Wait, Frank. What are you deleting from the record? Frank. Thank you for asking. No worries. She likes it. I didn't have to explain the segments because Anja works on the podcast.

No, we didn't do the usual run through. No, I got it. How dare you answer? Right. No, I don't have to do that with you. War poverty has already been stricken, so I can do something stupid. I thought this would be really easy for me because i am such a bitch like i'm such a hater yeah um and i've but then this was actually

really hard for me to come up with so i'd like to go with something that hopefully you all will relate to okay which is when you're talking to someone new that you don't know very well and you have to say, I'm just kidding. Yeah. The moment those words leave my mouth, I hate the person. There's no hope for us ever having any kind of friendship, professional relationship. Like there's nothing there left for us. If I'm kind of like joking around about something.

They're like, what? Like not even, I'm not like a bit guy, but you know, you're like, especially with someone new, you're like trying to make them laugh, whatever. And they are taking you seriously. And then you have to be like, oh, no, no, no. I was, no, I was just kidding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it.

Anya did that for me once. We were interviewing someone for a job. I don't remember this at all. And I made a joke about how like, oh, we're trying to be like Joe Rogan here. We're trying to like. Oh, God. Can you imagine? You're in an interview.

You're like, I don't know. I hooked up to a podcast studio. It looks really nice. And the first thing they're like, so we are basing a lot of our company culture off of the Rogan experience. Yeah, just kind of the experience part of the Rogan experience. Well, here's why that's terrifying. I said this, but I refused to – or I refused. I just didn't say, like, I'm just kidding.

I was like, I'm joking. And I think it's obvious. But then Anya chimed in and was like, he's just kidding. Well, the scariest thing about that is that the normalist looking people will be like, oh, yeah, well, I was listening to the Rogan. Yeah, you never know. I had such a normal Uber driver the other day. You forget that you're a white man. Yeah.

People like you. People like you. I don't know why it was so obvious I was joking around. Yeah, so I would not be the kind of guy. I'm like, I don't know. I know. Like you. Casey's like, I don't know why it was so obvious I was joking around. Yeah, so I would not be the kind of guy. I'm like, I don't know. I'm looking at you. I don't know. You might.

Casey, you don't. But someone who stared at me. However, I don't remember this interview at all or who it was. No memory. We might have hired this person. That's fine. And you're doing good at your job, King. Oh, my God.

You're doing so good. And consider this your bonus but if you're getting I mean it's a comedy podcast studio you should be able

to take a joke we're going to be joking all the time do we do comedy podcasts here a couple not this one but other ones

oh that's so interesting that's cool for me this is investigative journalism but I mean oh my god this is reporting this is funded journalism. Yeah. I mean. Oh my god. This is reporting. This is funded by NASA so it has to be serious. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you NASA for funding this episode. Thanks NASA. Sponsoring this episode. Yeah, NASA. No, I don't like to have to say I'm kidding but sometimes I catch myself saying I'm kidding and I don't like that either. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like even when I don't need to. Like it's someone I know and I'll be like kidding and it's like why did I say that? I'm just kidding. You know me. Sure. Like, even when I don't need to. Like, it's someone I know, and I'll be like, kidding. Just kidding. And it's like, why did I say that?

I'm just kidding. You know me. Sure. It's a way of apologizing. But this is only... For taking my face. Oh, wow. Let's get back to the PTSD of it all.

Yeah. No, I think that's... I mean, that's fine. It's really just with new people, and then I'm like, I've written you off, unfortunately, forever, and there's no going back. Well, because the moment that you've made the joke and you can watch their eyes sort of search oh yeah yeah for they're like wait what and then yeah and then you have to be oh I'm it's a joke at that point you bombed like right your joke's not landing yeah

like you don't share a sense of humor evidently. Or like a world view. You know what I mean? It's deep. It's deep. Yeah. Yeah. I've done it – I'm kidding.

I've done it – my problem though to kind of self-reflect is that I often will bring up things when I'm feeling like I cannot shut up in if there's an awkward pause in a conversation I like my body like I overcompensate I'm constantly talking nervous energy it's like a horrible I'm like everyone everyone be okay I'll be the clown here and I've often brought up things that are not funny because I'm like running out 9-11 is a big one I will always make a 9-11 joke and people will be like that's – and then I have to be like, no, fully just kidding. No. Yeah. Because you don't realize.

So many lives were lost. Exactly. Do you guys remember 9-11? Because that's the thing. I mean I was so young, but I do remember. You were dead? What? Famously pre-birth means dead.

Yeah, pre-birth means dead I was alive no you were alive you were a baby I was in preschool did they tell you? no I don't remember I remember vivid what grade were you in?

like third and you were in Ohio I was also in Oregon so it's like we were like oh like people were like that's really far away i mean i hate to be like one of those people that's like a story of 9-11 you know what's like 9-11 makes me think of it like they didn't actually have someone in there but they're like sort of co-opting the holiday yeah holiday holiday it's a holiday it's a holiday it's a national

day of remembrance yeah Labor Day what is a holiday it's not that sure it's a holy day it's holy

it's not a nominational but my mom did call me out of school because my dad was on a flight and we didn't know if he was on that flight

oh scary was it even possible we just didn't really know where he was like on a trip where he was like had a bunch of connecting flights. But also like who knew? And he was on the East Coast and like we were just like maybe. So my mom pulled us out.

We were just watching the news. But it was like he didn't have like if he had a cell phone, it was like it wasn't going to work for a while. Yeah, yeah, sure. It was in the air. So we didn't hear from him for quite a while. And I remember my mom was was like and we'll just wait we were just like watching the news being like you're like oh god but um yeah so yeah i mean

so you were really traumatized i do remember that day vividly but only because that was the day i thought my dad died it turned out to happen actually pretty recently. Shelby! So my 9-11 story is that I actually for years and years, my dad told me that the story in my family was that my uncle was

working in the World Trade Center at that time, but he didn't show up for work that day because he had an earache. And so he didn't go into work. He was late. this was like my whole childhood. I knew this story. I would tell people this story a couple years ago. My Uncle Gary calls my dad up, and my dad mentioned

it somehow, and he was like, that's not true. Wait, there was an actor who did that. Ronasazi, I think. Steve Ronasazi that there uh he's uh ronisazi i think his last name steve ronisazi yeah he's in uh the fantasy the league for years he was going on talk shows being like i was in the twitter it wasn't true it wasn't true at all what's wrong with people he got like did he actually think that was true or no he was just just lying. He was just lying. He was just lying. He apologized for it by being like, oh, like I said it once. Like I think it was like maybe like.

Yeah, it just slipped out. It got out of my control. I think the first time it was like someone made an assumption and he went along with it and then like pushed it further. And then it got him all this attention and he was like, yeah, I guess I was in the towers. And he just like kept going. Oh, God. Until like eventually someone was like, he never worked at the company he says he worked for in the building. What was the mix up with your uncle?

It was literally like my uncle had at some point worked in the World Trade Center. And he also at a different point had an earache. Literally, it was like two conflating stories. And maybe the day of 9-11 he had an earache. I don't know. But my dad just combined them in his head and was like this was a really scary day for our family yeah well you have to like make it mean something that's the whole thing about 9-11 is that it becomes this

thing yeah seth mcfarland is is who i often bring up when i'm trying to fill time and that's why because he was supposed to be on the 9-11 plane. Oh, my God. Really? Yeah. He, like, overslept. Whoa. Okay. Are we trying to fill time? Is that what's happening? We're having a good time and everything's going according to plan. No, this is what Anya's deleting is 9-11. No, I was going to add it to the record.

I decided not to. She wished it never happened. We forgot to say the thing about, like, it doesn't have to be the big things. I would delete it. I would delete it except for like so many things have come from it that is I'm just like I'm just like

there's actually a silver lining to it. That's weird that you guys won't think about that. No, it's really it changed the course of history. Oh, 100%. For the worst. For the worst. Every single thing that happened after that was really, really, really, really bad. no it's really it changed the course of history oh 100% for the worst for the worst every single thing

that happened after that was really really really really bad except for like some stuff I'm glad you guys are glad this is happening flying is a pleasure now

yeah we love it I think our privacy is intact I even used to go to the gate and now I'm taking my shoes off and running around

like a madman you won't believe this you won't believe this I You won't believe this. I could smoke a cigarette on the aircraft. In the 70s when we first flew. Yeah. Casey and I. And people used to dress up for the first flight, didn't you?

Used to dress up for the Wright Brothers. Yeah, we were on the Wright Brothers flight. No, that was Casey and I. Casey, what would you delete out of Cure? Thank God. Yes. Anya's keeping 9-11. Anya's doing it. We asked to delete it of Cure? Thank God. Yes. Anya's keeping 9-11. Anya's deleting it.

We asked to delete it. She said keeping. No. No. The thing that I would delete is movie related. Okay. Of course. It is something that I think about every single time I'm in a movie theater.

Okay. And I want to delete people looking at their phones in the movie theater. Oh, this is so Casey. Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off. Don't look at it. Off?

Yes. You guys are sick. I mean, no, you don't have to turn it off. No, turn it on. You don't have to turn it off. Okay. Turn it on. You can leave it at home.

Yeah. You have to sit with your thoughts in the car on the way there and back. Keep it in a lock box. The number of times I'm watching a movie and someone is like looking at their text. It's not even like they come up, open it up, and they're like, I'll look at the time or something. How much is left in the movie? They're going to like scroll on Instagram. I'm going to be like, how much is left in this movie?

Kind of go. Sure. I get that. But if you open up Instagram in the movie theater, you're just kind of like DMing people. And your fucking brightness is up. It's like, get out of here. Yeah, I agree. Watch a movie at home. For real.

Watch a movie at home. And then you can watch your phone at the same time, just like we all do. Like all people do. But when you go to the movie, it's special. You should be yelling and laughing. Especially if it's a stressful movie. I'm checking that time every 15 minutes. I'm like, how much longer can I possibly endure? Because you're scared. I'm stressed, I'm stressed, I'm stressed. Or I'm checking that time every 15 minutes I'm like how much longer could I possibly endure because you're scary

I'm stressed I'm stressed I'm stressed or I'm tired but I'm so many times I have to go and how much longer

could this possibly go right are they going to drag it out some movies are really long yeah well I don't see those ones Casey can I add something to your deletion

this is kind of an addendum weird but okay we're a team and we collaborate. People saying what they think about the movie

while you're kind of all like waiting to get out of the little door of the movie and all walking together. Wait, I love that. I don't want to hear anyone else's opinion. I kind of want to sit with it. I kind of like hearing other people's opinions, but I do think they have to stop at a certain point because they just saw the movie. They're leaving.

But there's people coming into the movie theater, like not the theater where the movie is showing, but in the lobby at the concession stand, who are about to go see the movie. And, like, people are, like, talking about what happened in the movie. It's like – I'm always afraid it's going to offend the people that work at the movie theater if I didn't like it. And I'm like, why is that? That's so funny. They don't care if you live or die. It's rude.

It's like, for what reason? Everyone that works at the movie theater is in production on the movies that are being shown. Yeah, they kind of fly out a team. Movies are entirely employee-owned. Yeah, that's the thing about the movies. And that's why that industry makes so much money. And that's why it's an equitable industry.

That's right. The guy serving you the popcorn. Everyone that works in movies and film is getting paid really good. Every single person. Yeah, and then there's no issues and they don't even need a union, so forget it. I'll say my first job ever in high school was working at a movie theater. Of course. Awesome.

And I was in the concession stand for a little bit, but I got the big promotion to projectionist. And I put the films together. And when they would come in. Literally a star is born. Yeah. I would put them in the projector and play them. And I always thought of it as like I am the last line, the last person in the film business that touches the film before everyone sees it. And yet never in my entire career.

No, I'm kidding. It's crazy. It was a big deal to me. That is really cute, Casey. He's like, I don't get enough recognition. I'm not even in the credits. It's fucked up. Yeah, they don't put me in the credits, but, you know.

And Casey as himself. As for recognized. Because I write it in myself. did you know that I worked at a video rental store in high school no I want I wanted the video Hollywood video no no it was like a small model it only closed a few years ago. RIP Chet's video. Best job I ever had. No offense to this one. Chet.

Yeah, free popcorn. Wishing you the best, Kate. Free popcorn. Free rental every 10 rentals and a free rental on your birthday. I miss. There's a drop-off. And they're out of business. Can you believe this?

There's a video store I go to in LA. Here? That's great. Yeah, in South Pasadena called Video Tech. That's free crap. Free crap. Free crap for the girls. Free crap. Free? That's great. Yeah, in South Pasadena called Video Tech. That's free kraut. Free kraut for the girls. Free kraut. Everyone's like,

keep them off, Mike. Ideally. Ideally these people would never speak. Yeah, I go there. And I love it. I go there all the time. Oh, that's really awesome. Yeah, I love that feeling. Redbox you can find almost anywhere. Yeah, but it's like a machine it's so bad i literally hate red box the the video store i go to is they like separate it all by like

genre and then like director so it's not just like you're going alphabetically through whatever it's like absolute dorks like casey yeah for sure i mean it's like it's great you know a video store in 2022 is the same as like a record store in 2022 it's just for the dorks like only the dorks like Casey. Yeah, for sure. I mean, it's like, it's great. You know, a video store in 2022 is the same as like a record store in 2022. It's just for the dorks. Like only the dorks. For the dorks, by the

dorks. I don't know, records are making a comeback. Oh, look. Well, people are getting dorkier. Vinyl sounds better. That's true.

Vinyl sounds better. You're looking at me, I'm like, I will not. I won't. Don't bait me like this. Vinyl sounds better. Vinyl, like when you put like a needle on a

vinyl. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The hair's still. Yeah. Cha-cha. That's it. That is a sound. That was pretty good.

That would be like if this podcast was recorded on vinyl. Pretty good. It would be like that. Yeah. Okay. Agreed. Agreed. It sounds better.

Wait. So sounds better. Wait. So that was. I deleted looking at your phone. That was Casey's deletion. I'm completely lost. Anya is deleting 9-11. Casey is deleting looking at your phone. That'd be so cool if that is what I deleted.

That'd be cool. It'd be big. That is really good. Anya's the first guest to be like, you know what I wish never happened? And I don't want the aliens to know. They don't need to know. Especially is really good. Anya's the first guest to be like, you know what I wish never happened? And I don't want the aliens to know. They don't need to know. Especially with their

spacecraft. Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Yeah. Loose change. Look it up. Anya's a 9-11 conspiracist.

I didn't tell you guys that before. Yeah. That's why I'm saying it's always awkward. That's why I always have to be like, I'm just kidding.

Yeah. She says crazy's why I'm saying it's always awkward. That's going to be in your intro. That's why I always have to be like, I'm just kidding. Yeah. She says crazy stuff. Crazy. You never know. What's up, babe? What's the next thing you want to put on your pictures? Oh, yeah.

We have to move this along. I know, I know. Somebody's got to steer this shit. Okay. I'm going to go quick. And I'll do it. Oh, okay. Uh-oh.

I'm scared. Napster. Okay. Uh-oh. I'm scared. Napster. Okay. The original Facebook. Napster was in the- I was going to bring that up too. Okay. I'm not wrong in terms of the people.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. How you're explaining that. Oh, just like the people involved. Sure. Yeah. Well, that's one of the things the people involved. Sure. Yeah, well, that's one of the things I was going to say. Imagine if,

we're not going to say his name, evil man, just stayed with Napster, we wouldn't have to, so many, we'd be great. Be great. Wait, I don't,

I don't know which guy you're talking about. We're talking about Big Zuck. Zuck had nothing to do with Napster. I know, but imagine if he like, if he like took that, whatever that Sean. Yeah, this Sean. Imagine if he was like, that actually sounds like a great idea. I'm nothing to do with Napster. I know, but imagine if he like took that – whatever that Sean – Yeah, this Sean.

Imagine if he was like, that actually sounds like a great idea. I'm going to do that instead of rating hot girls in my college that I'll never get. The Napster – yeah, the Napster guy was the one who told him to drop the the. That's right. Just Facebook. Right, right, right. It's cleaner. We all saw the social network.

We sort of remember it. We did. That was who? JT? Yeah. That was JT. Good for him. No, but I don't think

seriously you guys sorry too young to know the feeling but to go from I think go ahead

what are you gonna say Shelby is really really young to go as a young person being like I'll maybe hear a song I like on the radio

I'll have to beg for money for my parents to go buy the one album that has or like buy singles that I can listen to all the songs I like. Oh my God, 99 cents. That's right. To being like any song you want, you can have it. Yeah.

Right now. Do you think of any song you've ever heard? I mean it was like incredible. But you don't know the quality. The thing about Napster is the quality of the song was always just like a crapshoot. I was 12.

I was like, I don't care. I'm going to listen to every song I've ever liked. And sometimes you get Napster and LimeWire. That's what I was

going to ask. I was on LimeWire. Napster was first, but it was pretty much the same thing. Cool. I was a Lime bitch. Yeah.

Me too. And then like, you never know what like, you're going to get a song downloaded, you're going to think it's by this one artist for your whole life, and then you never know. You're going to get a song downloaded. You're going to think it's by this one artist for your whole life. And then you realize the song was mislabeled by whoever uploaded it. Yep, yep.

That's great. I love that. Nothing more humiliating than that. And then also it was the downfall of the music industry ultimately, which is a bummer. Yeah. But it isn't even around. It's like they really should have stuck with it because Spotify really came in. And was a nail in the coffin of the music industry, yeah.

Right, but if Napster had done it, I mean, good for them for coming up with it first. Well, it was illegal when Napster was doing it. But if they had made it until it was legal. To stream, you mean, instead of – yeah, yeah. If they had come up with a – If they had just made it until it was legal. But it was free for a while and that was great. If they kept the platform running until it was legal.

Until it was legal to steal things from musicians, yeah. Yeah. It's like why not? I'm just kidding. This is an interesting debate is the piracy of it all. Yeah. Yeah. I mean ultimately musicians aren't paid enough.

Definitely not. I see why TV writers get paid. I see why musicians get paid. I got to tell you. It doesn't make any sense. They got to pay the musicians aren't paid enough. Definitely not. I see why musicians get paid. It doesn't make any sense. They got to pay the musicians a little bit more. Yeah, you know, Napster might have destroyed the music industry, but the music industry was already doing that. The way that they treat the artists, the contracts that they make them sign. Scooter Braun, anybody. Crazy.

Yeah. Just kidding. We love Scooter Braun. He actually Crazy. Woo, woo. Yeah. Just kidding. We love Scooter Braun. That's just it. He actually has a podcast on there. Yeah, Scooter Braun is coming. Thank you guys for listening to this episode. If you keep listening, a little clip from our new podcast with Scooter Braun is coming up.

Imagine. We're just going to hear a little snippet. It's called. It's him being like, I am going through a divorce. I am being sued. Casey, do you remember the first songs you downloaded? I must have downloaded – what was that? Nothing.

I really – I don't know what they said. I said they're hosting now. Yeah. Thanks for having us, by the way. It's been a pleasure. I probably downloaded, honestly, Korn. Korn was probably the first thing I downloaded. It's Korn!

What if he thought that's it? I was like, wow, really? That was the first one. Wow, I can't believe you recorded it like that. It's a cover, actually. This kid was doing a throwback. This kid's a musical genius. He was doing a cover. What was the first song you recorded it back then. It's a cover, actually. This kid was doing a throwback. This kid's a musical genius who was doing a cover. What was the first song you downloaded?

Three songs. I remember my brother coming into my room being like, here's an appster, downloaded it onto my computer, and then why did I have a computer in my room? So weird. Cool. Cool. So cool.

Cool. Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hotel California, and November Rain by Guns N' Roses. Okay, she's obsessed with California. I guess so. I was just like, these songs all rock, and I didn't have to pay for them.

It was like the thrill of a lifetime. Yeah, that's huge. Wow. I feel like I was pretty, even though I am the young crisp, ripe age of 25, I feel like I had a pretty outdated experience with music stuff because my parents are old and

we didn't have any money. So I was listening to CDs for like way longer than a lot of other people. I didn't get on the iTunes, LimeWire, you know, didn't have internet. LimeWire's free. Didn't have internet.

Did it have, well, no, we had internet, but it was one third. But it was like couldn't download LimeWire because your family would get mad. Yes. Sure, you're looking at me, you're looking at me like I, the privilege with which.

I have LimeWire. I have LimeWire. I eventually did get LimeWire, but it was like, had to fight tooth and nail. I'm not trying to flex on anybody, but I did have LimeWire. Okay, so what were your first, do you remember? No, but I do know that I was doing it for a while, but my siblings had to really work it for me because I would always pick a song that was just like. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you kind of have to like figure out like judging by the way that the song has been titled whether or not you're getting a good download or not. Yeah, I feel like I was always freaking up my little computer. Yeah, downloading bad stuff. Yeah. You can get bad stuff on there. The one that I did for a while, the YouTube to MP3. Yes, I've done that. I feel like I do that still.

I still do that. Still. Sometimes you need to get it and it's only on YouTube. There's that TikTok song that is not made, but it's on YouTube. But it's just two hours to get there, babe. I can't beg for an hour or so. Oh, and people do it to like little montages. Yeah, but it is a really good song, but it is not available anywhere.

You have to rip it from YouTube. I would love to do it on a platform I pay for, but he won't allow it, the writer. It's called Jersey Giants, the song. Look it up. It's pretty good. He wants you to have it for free. He wants you to pirate it.

I mean, that feels insane. I would pay him for it. Shelby's waving trash around, trying to pay you for it. She's burning a hole in her pocket. Extra, extra. I got 50 him for it. Shelby's waving trash around trying to pay you for it. She's burning a hole in her pocket. Extra, extra. I got 50 bucks for anyone who can get me a hard copy of Jersey Giant. Yeah.

Yeah. Casey? Casey? What would you put on? Okay. I'm going to put on a non-movie thing. Okay. Crazy.

It is something that I do all the time. I love to do it. I think it's important to do this. Okay. And it's the Irish goodbye. Oh. I am a big advocate of the Irish goodbye. I'll say if I'm like at a function or something, a party, wherever, and I'm like talking to a couple people, I'll say bye to them.

Yeah. But then I'm out the door. I'm not going to like couple people, I'll say bye to them. Yeah. But then I'm out the door. I'm not going to like – This is the correct way to think to do it. Go find people to say bye or anything. As soon as I feel like, okay, it's time for me to go home, I'm going to be like, okay, hey, it was great talking to you guys, but I'm getting out of here. I love an Irish goodbye.

I cannot fault you. I think it is a perfect way to leave. The worst possible thing in the world is when you're trying to Irish goodbye and then someone loudly while you're on your way, you're putting your shoes on at the door. You are getting out there. And someone's like, are you leaving? And you're like, oh. And they're like, oh.

Yeah, I was just about to do my rounds. Like, what the fuck is that? Why would you want to ruin the night? If you see me getting to the door, do not let me leave. It is the worst feeling in the world to be like, okay, I did it. Like I say goodbye to who I need to. I feel good about that. And then someone's like, oh.

And then you're like, oh, great. Now my whole thing is ruined. Like read the room. Have some social cues. Read the room. But it's also – it's the polite – it's respectful to the people who still want to keep the party going. You're not going to ruin the vibe by leaving. That's a really good point.

That's why being like, I need to be somewhere else or whatever. You don't want to start putting it out there that like I'm leaving, so maybe other people are going to start thinking like, well, I don't kind of want to leave too. It changes the energy. Yeah. That's a really good point. I think it's got to be up to each individual guest at the function to leave when they want to leave. You thank the people you need to. You thank the people you need to thank.

And then you get the heck on out of there. Or you text them later. Yeah. That's what I was going to say. I love the people you need to. You thank the people you need to thank. And then you get the heck on out of there. Or you text them later. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I love the, you know, you say goodbye to the critical people and then you plan in your head, okay, tomorrow morning maybe I'll text them. Sorry I didn't say bye last night. So good to see you, though. So good to see you.

Let's hang out soon. So good to see you. Let's hang out soon for sure. I'm obsessed with you. That's an L.A. I literally love you. I've been thinking about you since I left last night. I couldn't find you to say goodbye in the one-bedroom apartment we were in.

It was weird because I was looking everywhere and I was like, they must be hiding. No, for real. I did go out the back window. It was an honor to see you in a really big way. Yeah. Huge. I love you so much. I think it's a perfect addition.

I think, I wonder how they would use it. Like, are they going to come here and then just be like, we are leaving. Do not tell them. We don't want to ruin the vibe. They're like,

we're going to head on out. Yeah, they're like, yeah. Scooping up. We're like, wait, we can see you leaving.

They don't really fully understand the concept of it. They're like, the UFO's like, so loud. Don't move and they can't see you. We're like, wait, we can see you leaving. They don't really fully understand the concept of an Irishman. They're like, the UFO's like, don't move. Don't move and they can't see you. We're like, are you putting your shoes on? Yeah.

They're alien shoes. I think the aliens are leaving and everyone's like, no! They just got here. They start to send me back down. They're like, no, we wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. Are you kidding me? They get pulled into a conversation for 45 minutes. Like, oh, is Ari out the door?

They're like, what are you joking? You don't think we can say goodbye to Earth? This place is amazing. We love you guys. We just have a little bit of everything here. So we loved being here. Thank you for having us. We just had to, of course we were going you for having us we just had to

of course we were going to say but we just have to get back because dinner yeah they text us the next morning

they're like let's definitely get comfy sometime no that was so fun Saturn is really gorgeous this time of year girl so they're like visiting

so good good good one Casey good one so Casey we'll talk about this after but that was good

thank you so much I'm glad I got a good one in there. Shelby, the amount of times I've touched this microphone, I owe you. Oh, I've noticed. I have noticed. Such an apology. I have noticed. His hands are all over it.

I'd like to take this moment to thank the Academy. I'd like to take this moment to thank my mother. I would like to take this moment to thank the people who make this mic. Couldn't name them. Ultima, who makes the stand. Head gum, who puts the thing on here that I like to take this moment to thank the people who make this mic. Couldn't name them. Ultima, who makes the stand. Headgum, who puts the thing on here that I like to play with. I feel vindicated. Vindicated, yeah.

I was right. She's right. People were wrong. I'm a huge bitch. No. No. Anya. No.

You just have no idea how hard it is to be in this room. You're just not in the mask. What are you doing with your hands the whole time? I'm fiddling around. I don't like it over here in the lights. I belong back there in the darkness. That's no worries. I'm sure it's ending soon.

No, we have stuff to do, all of us. You want me to get to my last one? Sure. Yeah. I mean, I had a lot, but I'm going to narrow it down. So smart. I wish Casey and I talked. You said you didn't want to.

I know. You were happy that we didn't discuss this. I want you guys to know that working on this podcast has been like being with my divorced parents. They had to co-parent for sure and they did their best. It was not smooth sailing. How could it be do we blame them we don't casey and i don't we know what it's like um okay my thing my last thing i guess since i can only have one more uh the day on twitter when trump had covid

does anyone have that before I don't think so. That was my favorite day of his presidency. That was a really good day. The first tweet I saw was, I hope he dies. You think it's going to be a good day? There was a point in his presidency where if anyone said he

with any sort of derogatory thing, you were like, I know who they're talking about. It's just Trump. Now it can be so many people. He's really opened that up for us. There was a period of thing. You were like, I know who they're talking about. It's just Trump. Yes. Now it can be so many people, but... Yeah, he's really opened that up for us. There was a period of time where it was like, hope he chokes,

and it was like, me too. Same, same, same, same. Yeah, it's crazy for lots of reasons. How bad Trump is. I actually have a crazy opinion. I'm going to put it out there.

No, what I like... Okay, I like on Twitter that one day I actually have a crazy opinion. I'm going to put it out there. No. Okay. I like on Twitter that one day when everyone has the same joke and it's not bad yet, it's all the good jokes about the one thing. So beautiful. Like when the teen died. Yes. Exactly. You start to find community.

It's like LA earthquake Twitter. I'm sorry for those who don't know. It's true. But LA earthquake Twitter, my mom texted me, I guess there was an earthquake in San Jose. I didn't feel it. I didn't either. During this. Just now? Today? No, during the first half. I got a text from my mom during the break.

But I didn't feel it. So that's kind of that. So mom, if I forget to text you back and you're listening to this, we are all good. It'd be funny if people on YouTube were like, no, we all, like, they saw things shifting. Everything went crazy. Everything's different, but we don't know.

We're too busy fighting. LA Earthquake Twitter is, like, a big piece of that. It's, like, when everyone is just like, holy shit, and you're like, we're here. Yes. I just love the feeling of, like, yeah, like, this is, like, a universal shared experience that we're all having. Spontaneous. Yes. I just love the feeling of like, yeah, like this is like a universal shared experience that we're all having. Spontaneous. Important. Because that – I often – my thing is that like I – it like brings me to tears when I see people doing something spontaneously together.

Do you know what I mean? Cute. It's like very much for me. Yeah, I was going to say. Not like – because that's planned. Flash. That's so true. That's planned.

That's like some person planned that and then people joined in. But like – It's so true. That's planned. That's like some person planned that and then people joined in. But like – It's not cute. People kind of coming together and being like, no, we're all going to like give this person a standing ovation or we're going to – Oh, I love a standing ovation. People are like, we're all doing this. We've all decided. So I'm kind of right now.

And that's what Trump had COVID day. Especially when we're all like, this man has ruined our lives. He literally has blood on his hands vis Yeah. Vis-a-vis COVID. And then we teach the aliens about irony. Isn't it crazy that he didn't die from it? It's such the craziest thing. Oh, God, I know. Yeah, we don't have to get into it.

We don't have to get real. It would have been so cool. The jokes were good. It would have been cool. God damn it. Moment of silence. For a gentleman not dying. God damn it. Moment of silence. For Jim not dying. Yeah, sucks.

Damn. We had him so close. No, I think any moment where we have. The transfusions. I, like, even January 6th had a little bit of that day when it was like, everyone was just like, what is going on? And you're like, oh my God. Yeah. And then it's just like chaos for a minute.

And you're like, okay, let's all get in here together. Yeah. And then it's just like chaos for a minute. And you're like, okay, let's all get in here together. Yeah. When January 6th happened, I was working a remote job and we went into a meeting like as it was happening, no one mentioned it. That's crazy. My boss didn't mention it. No one mentioned it. I felt insane.

Isn't that crazy? Yes. Yes. I was like, hold on. They're storming the cab. Get off. I think they're inside. They cab get off while it's unfolding you're like

is this bad like this is bad right and there was a moment quickly unmute I felt fucking crazy like literally

the senators were like hiding under their desks I was like um your boss is like and so I think probably that is

where we're gonna head on that project does anyone have any questions about the Q2 goals? And you're like, no questions on the goals. I have a question kind of in general, though. Are we good? It's an overarching question. Yeah, like about the democracy kind of aspect.

The country is falling. So I just wanted to check in about that. I was with my mother that day, and it was funny to see her. She had your boss's kind of reaction. She was like, cool, cool, cool. I don't know. I was with my mother that day and it was funny to see her. She had your boss's kind of reaction. She was like, cool, cool, cool. I don't know. I was in USSR. Like, you can't face me with this.

You're like, no, this is a big deal, I think. She was like, I've kind of lived through stuff like this. It's fine. She was right. We were fine. But those people are probably scarred. Probably. Not the insurrectionists.

The people in the Capitol. Oh, for sure. Yeah, I would imagine. Sure, my pants. PTSD. Yeah. I hope he's okay. I hope father is okay.

Casey, what is the last item on your record? Little. Make it good. Yeah. This is the last item being added to the record. They kind of just hit me about that. So now I'm like, fuck. You got this.

No, I don't. No, you got this. No, I don't. No, you got it. No, you seriously got this. You guys wouldn't like the thing that I would put on it. Okay. Love it. Do you want me to put it or do you want me to do something like the entire podcast? I want you to put it.

I haven't done it. I'll do a last one. Okay, great, great. And then we can mic drop. Okay, I have to put a movie on for the aliens to watch. And it is. And the movie I want them to watch is John Carpenter's The Thing. And I am not sure if anyone in this room other than me has seen it.

I haven't seen it. I'm too scared. I haven't seen it either. But I think Kurt Russell's hot. A lot of people have seen it. I know that. Kurt Russell's me has seen it. I haven't seen it. Too scared. I haven't seen it either. But I think Kurt Russell's hot. A lot of people have seen it. I know that. Kurt Russell's very hot in it. He's got a great big cowboy hat. Oh. That's what he said. He's got a great huge

birdie cowboy hat. That was crazy. That was a crazy phrasing. I think The Thing is a perfect movie. I just rewatched it last night. Are you going to be condescending while I talk about it? No, that was me agreeing. I think The Thing is a perfect movie. I just rewatched it last night. Okay, are you going to be condescending while I talk about it? No, that was me agreeing. I think John Carpenter is also really cool, all of his interviews.

Go ahead. Yeah, John Carpenter is a hero of mine and also a great filmmaker, and this is, I think, his best movie. It's a perfect movie. It's so compelling. You can't take your eyes off it. It's one of those movies where it's like something is happening and only the thing that's happening

is important. There's no like backstory. There's no like, you know, how did these people get here? I mean, no one cares about each other in the movie. They're all trying to figure out which one of them is an alien that can kind of pretend

to be anything, kind of imitate anyone. So they're not sure who is the alien, which one of them could be the alien. They're not exactly sure. So I want the aliens to watch this movie. And be like, are we the aliens? About aliens. Yeah. And, yeah, kind of like self-reflective.

Do you fear that they have the ability and they will be like, this is a good idea? Oh. Oh. Okay. I weirdly don't think the aliens that would come here would have the ability of the alien in the thing. Old assumption. In the thing, the alien is like a parasite more than anything. And they talk about how like it probably has gone to like countless other planets and has assimilated the populations there.

So I would think the aliens that would come down and like check out the records and be interested in like what was the human condition like or like what was the culture like? They would be like, this isn't us, but it is kind of creepy. Okay. They'd be like, we are with you. Whoever that is, we should join forces. It is weird. I don't think anyone's added, correct me if I'm wrong, a movie where we've tried to depict the aliens to the aliens. Yes, we have.

Well, we did the aliens from the Muppets oh yeah I think someone did Star Wars oh fair but none of the like what's the one like

arrival I keep saying Attack of the Martians Attack of the Martians yeah Mars Attacks you do keep saying that Mars Attacks

Attack of the Martians it is weird it is funny to think what they will when we do chat with them when they're like you guys got us all wrong. Like you're all so stupid.

We're so misunderstood. Yeah. They're very angsty and that's what people don't talk about. The aliens. Aliens. Yeah they're full of angst.

Yeah. I think they would like the thing. I think there's some very fun visual effects in it and they'd be like this is a crazy looking movie. Yeah. We're into it.

We just rode through space to get here, but this is very cool visually. No, I think they should know about John Carpenter for sure. One of our best. We've already, I know John Gabrus put a John Carpenter movie on there, so they will have at least two of his movies to watch. Good, good, good. They're watching him. They're his favorite filmmaker.

He's their favorite filmmaker. They're his favorite filmmaker. He's their favorite filmmaker. They're his favorite filmmaker, too. Symbiotic relationship. That's kind of cool. One cannot exist without the other. They take it, but yeah,

it's like it's really gorgeous actually to watch them work together. It's kind of in the throne. Yeah. Anya, you had a final addendum. To the record. Yeah. Yeah.

This whole show. Send it up I was gonna say that that's why we're such that's why we got married and then divorced that's the marriage part okay

so you're the first going to space that means me and Shelby are going too yeah cause here's the thing we're sending all these records but like

they should see they need to see the conversation that we have in between the YouTube channel is that the first time you've mentioned the YouTube channel? No, I talk about seeing me all the time. Oh, sure.

She's always looking right into the camera. I look right into the camera. People watch the YouTube videos. I think they need the context. Otherwise, they're just getting a bunch of stuff. They need to get to know us. Yeah, I think so. Okay.

I'll go to space. No worries. Yeah. I'm out there. Me too Listen, little freakazoids It's been a freaking blast hanging out with you The blast of a lifetime
