This is a HeadGum Original.
Get the Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good?
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
At participating restaurants for a limited time.
I totally stick with her.
Do you ever have a lizard as a pet.
Did you ever
interact with a lizard?
Did you ever interact with a lizard?
I'm a
lizard man
with a lizard plan.
I'm hoping
that you're a lizard too.
Come on up, you're cold.
If I make you
fall,
under the lamb or soul.
Soak it in the
heat.
Just get in heat.
Lizard likes
the treat.
Review, review.
The only podcast for lizards.
Sure.
Lamar, what an F for you to come in on. I don't know.
What the hell was that?
That was from Fancy Octopus.
I was going to say that drumming.
I felt like that was it.
The subject of the email is related theme song.
And Fancy says this one is definitely related to the show.
In case you missed that episode, Alf misspoke the other day.
And that's what that theme song was pulled from.
So thank you for sending that. I forgot about
that moment, and I'm really happy that we have
a very haunting rendition
of it.
But we did. I mean, the episode hasn't come out yet
where we asked for more original
theme songs that weren't going to get us copyright
infringement.
So you filled the prompt even
before we asked, so that's kind of perfect.
So thank you.
We get our minds.
I'm just going to cut to the chase.
That shit was scary as hell.
Do you?
Yeah.
I'm just going to cut to the chase.
Do you hear that joy?
Do you hear that laughter?
Do you hear that beam of light coming out of your car slash phone slash computer slash
headphone slash wherever the hell you're
listening to this it's lamar woods he's back he didn't scare him off he said i'll come back on
the pod hey i'm happy to be back i didn't i didn't i didn't realize you were introing me right there
i'll fucking wishes
I would talk about him that way.
Beam of joy?
Absolutely not.
Lamar, how the hell are you?
I think you're a beam of joy.
I'm great.
I'm doing okay.
Yeah, I'm feeling good.
How y'all doing?
It's a beautiful Sunday.
It's beautiful outside too right now.
I'm loving it.

you're in chicago yeah and it was 40 degrees today and i was like shorts and a t-shirt i
was loving it there was like sun for like 15 minutes and i was like this is the best day
that's that we've had in two weeks.
It was like 78 today.
Blue skies.
It was far.
It was gorgeous.
I was walking.
I was running a lot of errands today and I was on the phone with Alf
as I want to be.
And I passed by.
There was a place having a dog adoption event,
and it took everything in me to not just grab one of the little tykes.
Just grab one.
Just grab one and run off with it.
Paperwork.
It's a beautiful day.
I have to steal a puppy.
I have to grab a dog.
Alf, what did you do today?
I went for a walk.
I went to Harris and I stole a puppy.
Yeah. And that's a Sunday
What did I do today?
That's such a fascinating question
To put me on blast like that
I think I woke up
About
10 something a.m.
I went for a walk
Like I said, it was 40 degrees
So it was basically summer
Went to the grocery store Jewel Osco Went for a walk. Like I said, it was 40 degrees, so it was basically summer.
Went to the grocery store.
Jewel Osco.
And come on, Chicago.
Jewel Osco heads.
Shout out to Jewel Osco.
I went.
Yeah, I was about to say, I took a fucking nap.
And now we're here, you know?
I, you know, I have to work tomorrow. You know, it's an easy, restful Sunday.
Let me ask you a question.
I feel like I nap way more as an adult than I did as a child.
Yes, absolutely.
I nap a lot.
Like, I didn't expect that.
What do you think?
How frequently do you nap?
Every day, pretty much.
I feel like at least every day, at least I get at least a 20 minute nap.
And it usually just happen.
20 minute is exactly right. 20 minutes is the way to buy can't
nap for less than an hour and a half.
That's also good. You either want to do 20 or 90. Yeah, it's
like, yeah, because anything your body's gonna be like, what
the fuck? My grandmother
was a chain smoker,
but... In the band?
Oh my God. Yes, my grandmother was in the chain smokers.
And she
took a nap every single day
for like her entire life. And she lived into her
80s. So I think the napping
kind of canceled out the chain smoking.
So like...
I don't know about that.
So that's why I'm going to start napping
and start smoking.
Yeah, yeah.
You want to take it to the A's.
Net zero.
Yeah, yeah.
Just evens it out.
That's the combination you have to get.
Your doctor's like,
I think you have lung cancer.
You're like, well,
I can't be right.
I just woke up from a nap.
You've been napping?
Oh, wait, this is all wrong. I think we
have to get to retest.
Oh, shit. This is a different that's a different patient. I'm
so sorry. I'm not here to talk about napping. We're not we're
here to talk about music. But most importantly, Lamar, you are
a comedian. You were a writer. You are a funny guy. And you're
also a music guy. What you have music coming out soon. Talk, tell us about
that. Oh yeah. I've been working on this album all last year. So all 2024, I wanted to do an album
about mental health. I wouldn't say it's all about mental health, but it chronicalizes my
mental health journey. It's called highly sensitive person, but I've always been doing
music since I was a kid i
was a rapper and i had a band i was like it was kind of like a gym class heroes type band nice
and then um and i actually moved to la to pursue music but people kept laughing at my banter on
stage all right i'll just put this guitar down and just talk to you guys but then uh so i just
got into comedy but now that you know work now that I've been working for a while, I've been wanting to explore it again.
And I got back into it and I put an album out a couple of years ago called Wine Bars.
So this is my second album.
And I think it's really good.
I'm really it's on it.
It's got like intros and outros.
It's like a full album.
It's like a real, like,
like old school album like that. No one's listening to it anymore.
I'm so I'm so I love listening to a full album. Because I mean, I'm a musical theater girly. So
it's like if I'm listening to a show or an album, yeah, I'm gonna listen to it the way it was made
the way it was intended in the track, the track track order that it was intended to be so.
I'm listening cover to cover.
And so I'm so excited.
Alf, do you listen through or do you skip around?
Are you?
I listen through, I think.
I don't, you know, I'll do the shuffle.
I'll do the shuffle if it's like a huge playlist that's like a bunch of shit.
But don't be, don't shuffle my shit. I would never. But when's it coming out playlist that's like a bunch of shit. But don't be don't shuffle my shit.
I don't know. I would never.
But when's it coming out? What's the date?
What's the date?
It's coming up on Valentine's Day.
So I don't know. Is that I don't know when this is coming out.
When this at the time of release, that is.
Let me check that calendar. I'm going to.
That's tomorrow. no yeah we dropped it tomorrow oh my god stream highly sensitive person that's so exciting hell yes dude I cannot wait to listen
yes yes and then it's gonna be on all platforms like Spotify, Apple title everywhere you could get it. But I also have
a website called Lamar. It's called www.lamar-woods.com. And if you want to buy the album from me directly,
you could go there and support me because I funded this album by myself. So when streaming
is okay, but I don't really see any money from that. It's actually, if you buy it from me, I'll actually get to see the actual impact.
And so when I said, when I said stream hindsight as a person, that was a joke because what I meant to say was purchase from Lamar directly.
But I mean, listen, speaking of music, speaking about listening to something
you can't skip, you can't shuffle. Speaking of concerts, speaking of Alphas looking at
me, we're talking about the Hollywood Bowl today. I'm sorry.
Oh, we're here to talk about Hollywood. Lamar, you picked Hollywood Bowl. Talk to me about
the bowl.
Okay, the bowl.
It's like I have a hot and cold relationship with the bowl,
like physically hot and cold.
That sounds right.
But also when I moved to L.A., it was like the most famous.
It felt like it was a famous venue in the world. And it's just like you had to go.
And now living here for 10 years what is it like 13
years now I find it to be my least favorite venue in LA but I've had I've gone there to see some of
my favorite groups like Wu-Tang and Nas did a show there recently that was like one of the best
shows I've ever seen even though it was at the bowl but I also saw Haim there I saw Chance the
Rapper there I have a good I've seen a lot of
cool shit because everyone goes there. But I, you know, I like it in theory, but it made me wonder
if I, you know, I was thinking about, oh, I wonder if like I'm just tired of it because it's in L.A.
Like I wonder what the Bowl Hollywood Bowl is for like Chicago or like New York or like and I was
thinking, oh, maybe I should just go to another city and go to their Hollywood Bowl
and see what that's like but
that's what I remember
The Chicago Hollywood Bowl
Yeah I'm assuming everyone has
they all have a Hollywood Bowl
It's like athletic clubs
It's the Hard Rock Cafe
Yeah
That's what I thought right
What is it about like
what is your favorite venue
in LA of that size
well you know it's the irony is my favorite
venue is the Greek theater
which is across the street
it's like really close
I was wondering if it was like
a getting to it traffic thing
but if they're across the street
so yeah for those of you if you don't know what the Hollywood Bowl is, it is a very, very famous outdoor concert venue in, like, the base of, like, the Hollywood Hills in L.A.
It is, it's so beautiful once you're there.
It's, like, this big, it's a bowl.
It's, like, this big kind of half-open dome and, like, all the seats are sitting on this like rotted rickety wood but it's beautiful and they have like at the like at the front they have essentially
like picnic like tables and you could do a whole dinner thing the food's overpriced but you can
bring your own you can bring your own food and drinks and it's really fun i've seen how big is
like how many how many people can you fit in there uh it's big as hell. It's like one of the biggest bowls,
like out of all the bowls,
but no,
I don't know.
I look,
I,
so my favorite thing to do there is 17,000,
five.
Fuck.
Wow.
And just tables is kind of,
that's so many people.
17,000.
Yeah.
17,
17,500 people.
It's the shows I've seen there, I agree with you, Lamar.
It's like, I'm from LA and the concept of going to the bowl,
once I'm there watching the show, it's awesome.
It's so beautiful.
You're under the stars.
Outside, there's beautiful trees around.
It's really great.
I saw Queen there.
I saw, who else did I see?
I saw Lake Street Dive there.
I saw a couple of
people i'm forgetting but um i it's the getting there is brutal parking atrocious you'd think
that after all this time they would have a better system i i never you have to take a lift or an
uber 100 years ago la had a population of like 50 000 i understand but even in the past like 10 15 years there's no and that's the thing when i was looking at reviews
it's that the main every negative review is about the parking because it does take an hour to find
a parking spot you either have to prepay because it's like yeah you have to like plan it is the
hollywood bowl so it's like so fucking, you do have to plan it into your night.
It's so congested.
It's like if you're going to the Hollywood Bowl, that's a full day affair because you have to get there like six hours before.
In Chicago, any like stadium, like arena venue like that, you can get to it on the train.
You know what I mean?
Like if they're.
Yeah.
I would never.
Well, you have good public transportation
i would never ever drive to the united center or to like soldier field or something and like
the idea of having to like that yeah that's awful have you ever been to the hollywood bowl
have i ever been to the hollywood bowl no yes or no it's a no that's really no i've never been yeah if you
have if you had to go like if you have to ask yourself that you've never been now what i got
the hollywood bowl it's not the hollywood bowl but i think it's very similar is when i was
15 i did see a production of uh matilda at the omisson was that is that simple that is literally
not at all the same thing okay i thought it might it might be similar. Yeah. What's the Amundsen?
I don't even know.
It's a performing arts center.
It's like a big,
like,
like theater,
like play or musical or dance or something.
Theater downtown.
So pretty similar.
Versus a big concert.
They're pretty similar.
In kind of West LA.
Yeah.
So similar.
I remember.
Do you like the seats there?
Do you like the seats?
I don't like to see.
That's actually my least. No, no, they are.
The seats do hurt your butt. Is it benches?
Is it like cubes? Yes, wooden benches.
Yeah. And they're old.
Gotta check for splinters in your ass
afterwards, I'll tell you what. Oh man.
So check this out. I was at
the Wu-Tang concert and
we were in these seats and then
this guy was so drunk he like
he he I basically turned around and he just like fell on top of me like he just passed out
and I had and it was he was it was like like dead weight like on my body it was crazy like I like
saved this guy's life that's crazy when it fell down and then so we we everyone then everyone
helped me and like we moved him to my seat and I I went I ran to the I was like, you got to help this guy.
He passed out.
Go, come on, come follow me.
It was crazy.
And then and they go check on it.
He wait, he comes to or whatever.
And he's like, you know, we're like, you got to get out of you got to go home, man.
This is like the night's over for you.
And then he he didn't want to leave because he wanted to see the show.
So he just so he just like sat down in my seat and I had to like stand up the whole time.
So I saved my life.
And the thanks that I get is that I lose my seat.
And I just have it.
And he was just like, really focused.
And I'm like, are you OK?
He was just like, I am now'm like are you okay he's he was just
like i am now i'm like all right whatever never again will i save anyone at this last experience
there's also something like very specific about it's like being kind of like yaks hey listen we've
all been there if you drink you've been there where you accidentally get a little too drunk
at the function and then it's like but then it's like you're trying to be cool it's like no i'm actually
completely sober now and i'm all good it's like no man yeah you gotta go no i'm like really hyper
focusing but like no i'm fine i'm fine you're in my it sounds like it's like getting to the
hollywood bowl and from the hollywood bowl is like a fucking you know it's like getting to the Hollywood Bowl and from the Hollywood Bowl is like a fucking
you know expedition. It's like three hours
to do either of those. So it's like if you've just passed out
you're probably not like yeah I can't wait to
go stand in line and get back
And it's like a ton of hills
you have to walk down a huge hill to get out of there
You not only have to park
and then you walk up a giant ass hill
and then
up all these stairs to get to your seat.
I don't know how I feel about sitting for music anyway.
You know what I mean?
I think it depends.
Also at the Hollywood Bowl,
they do like also like shows.
Like I saw a chorus line did a show at the Hollywood Bowl and they also do
like they bring the Philharmonic and they do like Harry Potter with a full
orchestra playing
or every Halloween season they do like Night Before Christmas with a full orchestra yeah so
they do stuff like that there too which is cool I went to a stand-up show one time where it was
genuinely only standing like there were no seats anywhere it was like 150 people all standing watching stand-up for
three hours no and it was it was genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life um because
it's not like at least when you're standing for three hours at a concert you're moving
like you're like dancing a little bit you're going around you know it's kind of there's a flow
but like the number of people that you just like looked over and they're like locked knees like flop sweat like they're not
enjoying it i was like who like if you had any control over that as the performer you would not
choose that so i'm like why did the venue decide to fuck you like that by making everybody stand
the entire time.
I don't know. Yeah, that's awful.
But I think as a musician,
because I went to see Fleet Foxes and everybody sat down the whole
time, but it was like a very
you're just watching
it happen. But like, I
tend to, as a rapper
on a stage, I'm like, I can't, I think
I would find it incredibly painful to
perform to a group of people
sitting down.
staring up
concert to have everyone just said, Oh, no, that would be
terrible.
I did a show last night. And it was like, but it's like,
sometimes audience are like, it's like they're studying you
is weird. But like, they're like, they weren't sitting
down. But it was just, but I was singing to them
and they were just watching it.
I was like, are you guys enjoying this?
I go, are you having a good time?
But I'm asking you, are you having a good time?
I need a response to know how the night will be.
I feel you on that.
But watching stand- up standing up is
seems insane that does seem crazy it's awful i've seen improv shows standing too and that's just
because there's not enough seats or something that's awful but that's different than like all
right we're all gathering we're gonna stand that's like too many people like more people
showed up than you expected not like This was a ticketed event.
You knew exactly how many people
were coming four weeks ago
and yet you still were like,
no chairs, right guys?
It's going to be standing room
only for everybody.
Should we get to our first
review?
I think so. Do you want to do it or should I?
What's going on? it's up to you
alfreeney teeny why don't i start with one huh go crazy why don't i just oh my god do it why
don't i you're insane for that do it this is from john f i get a last name for John F.
Frankenstein.
John Frankenstein.
OK, perfect.
John Frankenstein says, and this is for the Hollywood Bowl, five stars.
It was awesome.
Got in the weed with no issue and was able to smoke joints through the whole dead and company show.
If you haven't been to a show here before, I would go as soon as possible.
We drove from Arizona and I would say it was worth the trip.
It's a beautiful venue.
The people were super chill and we all got high.
Yep.
That's another thing about the bowl.
Is that because it's open there?
I don't think I've been other than the chorus line.
I don't think I've been to a single show at the bowl where I,
it just,
everyone's smoking. I don't know maybe it's like i find this something you know because i didn't
grow up in a state where weed was legal you know what i mean so it's like but the idea of like just
being like openly being like yeah this venue's great they don't even care if you bring weed in
and i'm like there's a part of my little narc brain that's still like what you're allowed to do that no one's gonna get mad
but this is on this is on the internet someone might see
they're just like yeah that's great there's security they don't i guess they don't really
care it's fine also in chicago there's you would never have an open air bank no of course not
there's so much wind out there there's something about like
because i am that narc friend as well i'm because i'm just so anxious
that it's like you grew up in california are you I know but I'm because I have anxiety
it's like even if it's why are you so
anxious oh it's best because the anxiety
oh it's the anxiety
there's something about like
being part of
the group and everyone's just nervous
about this one person like
blowing it for them or even
like even if it's legal it's like you're not
gonna ruin anything but it's just you're gonna gonna ruin anything. But it's just you're
gonna be weird about it. Oh, yeah.
I get weird when people pat like I feel like at a concert,
there's like a cool camaraderie with other people. But and this
person passed me a joint and I smoked it and then I like
immediately regretted it because I was like, I don't I don't know
what I just smoked. Right person is I don't I don't know what I just smoked I don't know who this person is
and I ended up getting
the whole night
because I was like oh we're connected we like the same music
but it's like no I don't want to do that anymore
I have a
I have a really clear memory of
it was like I was going to see the movie
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
which is like that is a real
time stamp I don't even remember
what year that was but
me and my friend were going and
there was a guy in the parking lot
who didn't have a lighter
for his joint and so he was like
do you guys have a lighter
do you guys have a lighter and we like found one
in the bottom of the car and his
payment he like let us hit
the joint and I at this point was like no i'm
fine sir that looks um like i don't know who you are but my friend was just like sure what the fuck
and you know he really enjoyed mike and dave need wedding dates a lot more than i did
but for like half an hour beforehand he was just sitting in the lobby, like fully catatonic, like, I feel like a robot.
And I was like, okay, so that one hit of a joint shouldn't have done that to you.
I don't know what the fuck you did.
Like that guy was handing out.
That shit is dangerous.
We shouldn't be doing that at all.
But then we culture is like, we're supposed to share exactly it's just like communal
like get home after getting back after a concert guys that was honestly i'm so glad that it's like
you know mom and dad are always like we should all hang out we should all hang out and i feel
like for us as siblings to all go to a show together, that was one of the best nights of my life.
So thank you, guys.
Yeah.
I, um...
Yeah.
You know, I thought you were, like...
Sometimes, you know, you're the big sister.
I feel like you're not cool or whatever,
but I guess you were pretty cool.
What? Get out of here with that.
You were pretty cool tonight.
You were pretty cool tonight, so...
Hey, Mike, you were pretty cool, too.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm so glad you guys didn't get weird when I did a little heroin at the concert, but, you know... What too. Thanks. Yeah, I'm so glad you guys didn't get weird
when I did a little heroin at the concert.
What's that?
You know, you guys didn't see that?
Oh, that's...
No, no, no, I'm cool.
No, I'm like, I, you know, I know I've been kind of high strung in the past.
Yeah, you've been cool.
You guys are the cool one.
I'm the cool older sister now.
So, John, the fact that you snuck off
and that I'm now learning that
you did heroin during the
concert, during
the Florence and the
Machine bash,
I'm very cool. And
I'm not going to tell our parents
because that's not who I am anymore.
You guys can tell me anything and I promise I'll be
cool about it.
Thank you so much. If you want to know, during the show, remember when I promise I'll be cool about it all right thank you so much if
you want to know like during the show remember when I said I was like going to go um get like
nachos for everybody yeah I was actually um freebasing in the bathroom is that cool uh
yeah yeah I remember that I don't like freebasing too much I like to just stick it right in there
but that's where it's uh yeah it was it's made the music better because Florence in the machine
could give you a cool though, right? You're cool. You're being cool, right? Yeah. And
you guys are you guys are okay. Like I just like, Oh, yeah, it's cool. But like, it's
not a problem. It's casual. It's recreation. Yeah, we I only do it during concerts. Like
no, I don't have a problem and not even every concert you know what
you mean like florence and machine obviously i'll be doing yeah i know obviously you know
would i have done it like and so just for because i'm cool and like i know i am with all of it but
like just for someone who wouldn't who like if if i'm gonna talk to my friends about this kind of
stuff obviously not her parents and they're like oh what's freebasing? Like someone might them might think that that's kind of like parkour, like freebasing.
Like parkour, did you say?
Yeah, because I guess some people.
Like free running?
Yes, I think some people, definitely not me, hear that and they think free running.
But obviously that's not what I think.
You hear the phrase freebasing and you think it's parkour.
I'm saying that's not me.
Except the context and you think it's parkour i'm saying that's the context gave me you think well i'm
saying if i were to tell the story to somebody else why would you tell the story i wouldn't
because i'm cool like that yeah i wouldn't i would hope you wouldn't tell me about your two
brothers doing drugs at the floor is that exactly the whole point is that we're all cool we're all
like we're all just the same and and i'm we're all just the same. And and I'm definitely I'm getting lunch
with dad tomorrow. And I'm not gonna bring it up. Because why
would I do that?
Please don't tell dad, you know, he's not cool at all. And we're
almost like, you know, we got about another four hours before
we get back to Arizona. So I don't know if y'all want to stop
and just, you know, take another break.
I'm kind of itchy. I'm feeling like
I need a fix right now.
But I, you know,
I've been driving this whole time.
Yeah. Yeah.
What if we kept driving?
What if we, like,
what if we just, like, powered through?
What if we just, like, got home and, like,
took a bath?
Not together, just like we all take baths.
And I don't know why I said bath.
There's only one bath in the house.
I meant we can stagger the time.
What am I supposed to do while you take a bath?
I meant we could stagger the time.
You could watch TikTok.
You could read a book.
You could-
I guess I could do heroin.
I guess.
I guess.
While you were in the bath.
I guess.
But it's like you can always do heroin. That's so boring. That's true. And I do. could do heroin. I guess. I guess. While you were in the bath. I guess. But it's like you can always do heroin.
That's like so like boring.
That's true.
And I do.
You could always do that.
Yeah.
What I'm saying is.
Why don't you relax a little bit?
You could try some of this stuff with us.
Do you want some?
We got so much.
I feel like you're all wound up.
Like this is normal stuff.
This is.
You guys are so sweet.
You guys are so sweet. No, honestly, it's like the way you guys are so sweet you guys are so sweet no honestly
it's like the way you guys are being so generous about it like i thank you so much i'm actually
okay right now um oh shit the cops are going over oh shit okay guys guys um everyone everyone
shut the fuck up guys shut the fuck up uh please roll down your window, please.
Yep.
Hello.
Hi.
Do you know why?
You know why I pulled you all over?
I would imagine we're going just a little, little, little too fast.
Speed racer slow down.
That's it.
Well, actually, I know exactly why I just wanted to ask that question one more time because they're going to outlaw it in the state very soon.
And you just want to get it in.
I wanted to get it out real quick.
But I pulled you over because you were driving too slow, actually.
It was very slow.
Oh, my God.
That's our sister.
Yeah, I'm just so chilled out.
Honestly, that's just how I drive. Obviously, you don't know
me very well, but I used to be like a narc. And you seem pretty cool. You seem like like you would
tell me something if something was wrong. You seem like you would have a good relationship.
Yeah, no, I'm like, I'm really cooperative with the law. And like, that's what a lot of people
know about me and like, really respect about me. And that's like, why we're on like, that's what a lot of people know about me and like really respect about me. And that's like why we're on like, officer, I promise I'll go faster.
I'll go faster.
And that's all.
That's all there is to it.
All right.
Well, there's nothing you need to tell me.
I'm going to let you go with a warning.
But if there's any legal substance in the car, you should tell me now.
If there was heroin in the car, you would literally be the first person I told.
I swear to God. I swear to God would literally be the first person I told. I swear to God.
I swear to God to be the first person I told.
If two of my brothers had heroin in their pockets.
You have a great night.
You have a great night.
If two of my brothers had heroin in their pockets.
You have a great night.
You have a great night.
Okay.
All right.
Well, hey, if you tell me you had a great night one more time, I'm going to stay here.
All right.
Okay.
I'm leaving.
I'm leaving. You guys have a safe trip
have a safe trip all right thank you man that was fucking close guys we almost got the fuck was that
what the fuck was that why would you start talking about heroin saying what the fuck what are you
talking about i literally definitely didn't think there was heroin in the car until you started
saying there's no heroin in the car i'm but okay but do you hear how like if I didn't say that, then he might think like,
oh, maybe I knew you were in the car.
I knew you were.
You can't trust the police.
You don't ever trust you guys.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Of course you can trust these.
Of course, you know.
No, you can't believe we're related. How can. No, no, you really can't.
I can't believe we're related.
How can we be related to this person?
What are you talking about, guys?
I can't believe we share the same DNA.
All right, well.
Whatever.
Did I do something?
I feel like I got the vibes all wrong back there.
Yeah, I would say so.
I would say so.
I mean, we were having a good night.
You know, we were literally
just talking about how cool we thought you were
and that you for once in your life had some
chill and now
you just talked
about how much you love cops
and that was weird.
When we get home, I'm going to ask
our parents to get a divorce so that
I want you to live with one of them. parents to get a divorce so that you can.
I want you to live with one of them.
We don't have to live with you anymore. If you wouldn't mind saying you want to live with dad and then we'll just say we want to live with mom and it won't seem like it's a thing.
But like it's like a reverse parent trap.
You know, this is crazy.
You guys want to split our parents up so that we all don't have to live in the same house.
I know, you know, we're pretty close in age. That's fucking crazy.
We're all teenagers, so there's not much time before we're out of the house.
I really can't see myself doing two more years in the house with you, so I am going to
have to ask you. Listen, if it's the cop thing, I don't know
why I was saying that. I do not trust cops. I just got nervous.
Yeah, I don't know mean and if it's the heroin stuff then like i thought it was a joke yeah you thought the heroin was a joke i thought
me saying it was a joke now i felt like you were what we call in uh rap music we call it dry
snitching where you're snitching without snitching.
Kind of subtle snitching, you know, and we don't like that.
So I think we're going to have to kill you.
There's no choice.
I'm sorry.
The divorce won't cut it.
I'm sorry.
We can't even do the divorce anymore.
No, you guys.
No.
Come on.
The least we could do is have our parents be divorced.
You know, the least we could do is have our parents be divorced. You know the least we could do is make our parents break up. We might have done that
if you've been more on board
with the plan, but you seem negative
about it, so we kind of have to go with
plan B, which is, of course, murder.
There is a plan C.
Okay, I'm open to anything at this point.
I don't think you're going to like it, but...
What is it? We need you to
rebase right here
in front of us. Pro prove to us you're cool by
doing drugs with us
that is how they do it
in the mafia
I'm cool I'm cool
I'll freebase right now
I open the car door I climb
on top of the gas station I start
free running
parkouring down a strip mall
she's really fast.
Oh, shit.
Man, that girl is parkouring.
How the fuck did she win to do that?
I'm freebasing so good right now.
Hey, I'm closing this gas station down.
I'm about to do what that woman's doing.
Wait, but we're going out of business.
I don't care.
I'm founded by true calling.
Should we take a break? Let's do it.

Welcome to Review Review,
the show where I talk about how fucking awesome cops are.
Where Riley shows her true colors
three years in.
We're like, guys,
after all this time,
I'm switching it up.
I have a review.
Okay.
In case anyone doesn't, in case anyone's missing the joke, I do not like cops.
Okay.
I don't know, man.
I just want to make that very clear.
I know you're an actor and everything, but that scene seems pretty.
I don't want people taking clips of this and being like, Riley loves.
Okay, here we go wait two stars
from Erica
A
can we get a last name for Erica A
Erica Clapton
A
Erica
A Clapton
Erica
A Clapton A Clapton. Erica A Clapton.
Erica A Clapton.
Erica A Clapton.
It's me, Erica A Clapton.
She kept the original name when they
immigrated to the States.
Erica Clapton.
Jesus.
Two stars from Erica Clapton.
That's so stupid.
All caps.
Turn up the volume.
Went to see Guns and Roses
and it felt like I was listening to my neighbor's house
have a house party.
I've never left a rock show with better hearing.
Guns and Roses played a really medium level volume show
wow is there a date on that okay that was three months ago
okay because they did they get a little weird for a while after covid like
there was a lot of rules and shit with the neighborhood like the noise level yeah that's
wild like they had to end the concerts
earlier i'm like it's been there for a hundred years if you choose to live next to the hollywood
bowl like it's not like then you appeared overnight imagine telling a classic rock very famous rock
band that they're out of there's something about that that's so embarrassing like that leaving a rock show being like oh my god
that really like my ears were not
doing well but that was such a mellow night
that it cleared it the fuck out
I'm feeling great
it's like you know those like
guys who've been performing
for like 40 years
like Brian and I have talked about it before
the Elton John performing
now his voice is like three octaves deeper
and it's like
completely different guys singing
but he's still like
you get old and it's like
yeah I sound exactly the same
just quiet
just like 25%
of the volume that you're used to
it takes a lot of energy to speak loudly like it's like to project.
I remember. It's hard.
Broncos. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's like like a front man,
like Mick Jagger being like, no, you guys, I'm sorry.
This is like you're yelling at me, yelling at me.
This is hard.
You get up here and do it
you get up here and do it
oh man i remember i did see uh rolling stones this was like
i've seen them twice i saw them once like 15 years ago and then i saw them again like seven
years ago and i will say nothing
changed there is something about mick jagger that is absolutely fucking timeless that man
was screaming he was rutting have you guys ever seen them a lot like it is it is an experience
he is so i hear that though i hear that a lot about that group specifically oh my god the one that still rocks on they still rock the out and they it's just like and he's so sinewy
and he is old and it but he is like rocking like it's it's really amazing
i would love to see something like that at the bowl like i think i haven't seen a
concert that's like a big arena type band i think that would maybe change my opinion on the bowl like i think i haven't seen a concert that's like a big arena type band i think that
would maybe change my opinion on the bowl that's all clean at the bowl was pretty dope seeing queen
there yeah yeah and they were loud too right real loud really loud intermission fans coming backstage
guys guys amazing amazing job out there i just want to say no no no no you guys are absolutely crushing it
I just want to say as your stage manager
we are just getting some feedback
that maybe for the second act
we bumped the levels a little bit I think like during
the first mix
did y'all
tell him my note y'all told him my note
I had I'm from this my name's
Greg I'm just one of the people
in the audience I got a couple notes for y'all
You're just an audience member
You don't work here
He won our Visa Mastercard
kind of giveaway and so he got to do
the come backstage thing
So this is Greg our winner
I mean look, y'all not
first of all y'all not loud enough
My eardrums should be fucked up right now
and honestly they feel like I'm getting a massage at the four seasons boom i mean that that sounds like a
positive experience to me really doesn't it it's getting a massage the four seasons sounds like
something you want to happen maybe i can't i came here to get my hair rocked i want my hair to fall
out of my head today yeah i mean right now it's mean, you know, we've been doing it quite a while, man.
You know, we know a thing or two.
No, of course, I actually...
We have a couple other Visa MasterCard winners
who a lot of the same responses,
and I'll let them...
Bring it up. I'm not afraid of a little criticism.
...is that they wanted their ears to get fucked up tonight
has been the main thing.
I can get their ears fucked up.
Yeah.
Hey, my name is Cheryl.
I'm from Cheryl from D.C.
I came all the way out here.
I'm 83 years old.
I've been chain smoking.
I've been taking naps.
But I came here to wake up and I feel like I took another fucking nap over here.
Oh, all right.
You're putting an old woman to sleep.
So that's a no.
Right, right.
I mean, I don't want to
criticize too much,
but I do have to wonder
how much
you guys,
you know, you're 83.
Maybe you just can't hear
very well anymore.
Mr. Jagger, if I may,
Greg is,
let me just check my phone.
Greg, you are 32.
Yeah, yeah.
But if he makes a habit of going to concerts and getting his ears
fucked up, then maybe
that's why he can't hear it.
Mr. Jagger, please.
Why are you all hostile, Jagger?
What's your problem, Jagger?
What's your name again?
If you even want to come to the concert,
you just wanted the free trip from the MasterCard.
Yeah, you know, what do you expect me to just not do or use it?
I want to use this thing.
But, you know, I heard of y'all, Rolling Stones, right?
You've heard of us.
Yes.
So I figured I'd come here.
You know, it's going to be a big rock concert.
Maybe I'll meet a couple ladies or something.
And let me tell you something.
I met a couple and I had great conversations with them. Too because they could hear me very clearly it was yeah we understood each other
i could hear that conversation it sounded like it was going well um greg i really hope that
something works out with one of them but it was i mean you could mr jagger you could ultimately
hear a pin drop and i feel like during can Satisfaction, one of your most famous songs ever, a crowd pleaser.
It's a simple ask.
Just raise the levels.
This is where we're doing complaints for the band.
For the Visa Mastercard.
I have a newborn here.
I brought my newborn to the concert.
Oh, congratulations.
I wouldn't recommend that.
My baby has not cried once
during this whole concert and i'm very so sorry i would go to a doctor i would go to a pediatrician
for that i'm so sorry we will do our best to make sure that the volumes are cranked up
mr dragger can i please have a sec can we can we talk uh out in the hallway for a second yeah
actually i'd like that i have so some stuff I wanted to bring in.
I'm going to eat these chicken wings while you talk.
Yes, absolutely.
For the band.
Mr. Jagger, I'm such a huge fan.
I don't know if I actually have it.
My name is Jess.
I'm the stage manager.
I know.
It's like, you know, who am I compared to you, right?
Right.
Good point.
Well made.
Well, you don't need to be I'm just saying
you bringing a line of people to complain that my concert's too quiet but I'm no no no no no no
this isn't it's not a complaint line that the woman thought it was a complaint line because
a lot of people have been complaining but this is just the Visa MasterCard winners about what
Mr. Jagger they came here to and I quote get their ears fucked up and so if they're
gonna come see a rolling stone show i think the least that we can do is bump the levels i feel
like that's not too much to ask how long is this intermission by the way another two minutes okay
is anyone oh shit this old lady's choking on the chicken wings. She about to die back there. Hey, somebody help.
Somebody help.
Somebody with moves.
Somebody.
I've got the Heimlich moves like maneuvers like Jagger.
Come on.
Out of the way.
Out of the way.
Heimlich maneuvers like Jagger.
Heimlich maneuvers.
Oh, Scott, I almost fucking died.
Oh, my God.
These chicken wings are huge.
That's a big problem for me.
I should not have eaten that.
I don't think you normally stress eating with the bone in, love.
Bone in, one bite like a cartoon cat eating a whole fish.
Well, that's how we do it in D.C.
You know, it's a big bone country out there.
I will say, even I know that that is how you do it in dc you know it's well it's a it's a big bone country out there i will say even i know
that that is how you do it in dc i mean we played there over the years but it's been a while maybe
things have changed a bit since last time intermission is ending please everybody return
to your seats okay uh thank you visa mastercard winners mr jacker please i beg of you once this
second act starts please just like either say something or make something happen because you're going to have
a lot more complaints after the show.
That's fine. Thank you, sir,
for your complaints. Madam, I hope
the chicken wing has not
damaged your esophagus
too much. Okay.
We're going back outside. Thank you.
Cut to the
beginning of act two.
Alright.
How are we doing tonight,llywood we're okay okay we're doing all right we're mild we're doing mildly fine
we're all speaking in unison all right okay not bad are you excited to get some more music
i guess oh yeah i guess so, yeah.
We'll see how it goes.
We're open to it.
All right.
Let me hear some noise.
Woo-woo!
Woo-woo!
All right.
Well, this is one you heard in the first half,
but you're going to hear it again with a few changes,
and I think you're really going to like it.
I can't.
I can't get.
No.
Louder.
We can't hear you.
We can't hear you.
I can't.
Oh, shit.
That lady just threw her baby on the stage.
Oh, sorry.
And it still hasn't woken up.
It's still asleep. It's sleeping
so soundly. I'm going to pick it up. Don't
worry. You're right, man.
Yeah.
It's me.
You know, it's me, Keith Richards. I don't
pick that baby up.
In my past, you pick up a baby,
it's yours.
Keith, what? I mean, I'm right.
I mean, I'm going to...
Do you want this back?
Lady in the audience, do you want your baby back?
No, you're such a great babysitter.
She's sleeping so peacefully.
If you could just have her for a couple hours,
my husband and I are going to go out to dinner.
Satisfaction.
Good luck getting out of the parking lot in two hours, love.
Can't get no...
Do you want to hold the baby, Keith?
I told you, mate.
I don't like holding babies,
because next thing you know, I'll have the whole bus
load of kids I'm taking around town, and I just
don't want that to happen again, mate.
Well, fair enough.
Ba-da-da-da-dum.
Ba-da-da-da-dum.
People just filing out.
Everyone's just like,
everyone's saying goodnight to each other
and getting sleepy.
Why are you going?
This is such a comforting evening.
Yeah, it was really nice.
It's really great meeting you.
I'm so glad we got to talk.
Are they still playing?
I think you were talking about,
yeah, I don't know,
but I'd love to have that conversation
over coffee after this.
I would love that.
Like, I feel like this is just such a sweet, like, it was a sweet night.
Yeah, because I know what you're dealing with.
You're dealing with the loss of two of your brothers to prison, right?
Because you turned them in to the police, I heard.
Yes, no.
Your baby.
I did what's kind of known as dry snitching, which is kind of like I snitched without snitching, if makes sense which is really frowned upon which i can't realize it's a lot of a lot of nuance to it you know so i can
empathize what's that mr jagger am i a ghost oh man look uh mick i feel like nobody can hear me
i think you got it i think you're not rocking hard enough mate i'm just
i think if we play one song really hard the crowd might come back mates I think you're not rocking hard enough, mate. I'm just shouting it. You're not rocking hard.
I think if we play one song really hard, the crowd might come back, mate.
Everyone's gone.
Heath, I think they're gone, mate.
They're in the parking lot.
I can see them in the distance, fading.
That's right, mate.
All right, man.
You pick a song, then.
What will we rock you to?
Well, I was going to suggest I can't get no
no can't be that one we've already sung it twice
we've gotta sing something new for them
no
you know I'm getting old
I'm all fucked up I gotta remember
that goddamn song I'm gonna save my life
mate
maybe there's one
about like
hey guys guys
um what was your name again jess jess what's one of our songs what's one of your songs we can't
remember any songs except satisfaction i mean you've got sympathy for the devil you've got
brown sugar you've got i don't remember okay i don't us um guys everyone's gone uh management is asking that we
shut it down but we still got the second act i understand that that was before uh you guys
decided to i don't know what happened i mean you guys are the rolling stones like yeah i don't know
if it's just you know age like hey no shame in getting older what a gift you know what everyone should we should be so lucky but i think people you just didn't deliver the show that people were expecting
i don't know about you keith but i'm starting to feel like the rolled stones
yeah i don't feel like we're rolling too much i feel like very still like's okay We had rolled in the past
No I understand
I understand that
Jess do you want a baby?
You can't ask me that
That's unbelievably
Just because Al Pacino's out here
Knocking people up
Does not mean
He has a baby Jess
He has a baby to give to ya
Oh that's the baby from the green room earlier.
Yeah, I want it.
She left, the mum left.
Well, I don't want it.
I'm a rock star.
Well, come on, Mr. Jagger.
I think you're a little bit more than that.
No, my husband.
No, I see some fraternal instincts in you yet.
I've got those moves like dad. Let's go cut to a house and a couple of family that lives in a house that's right by the
Hollywood Bowl.
Oh, man, this game of the monopoly is going great.
I'm so glad we live here.
It's very quiet.
It's so like, honestly, that's like a lot of people were like, don't move to that area.
Don't move to that area. It's so loud. It's so, like, honestly, that's what, like, a lot of people were like, don't move to that area. Don't move to that area.
It's so loud.
It's so busy.
But, like, it's like there's nothing going on.
Yeah.
I'm really enjoying this.
Toby next door said he's thinking of opening a library.
Oh, my God.
That would be so beautiful.
I think he should open that.
I think he should.
It's the perfect location.
Yeah.
Yes. And then,
cause I always go have to go all the way in a town to get to the
library and we could just go right next door.
That would be amazing.
Right next door.
Guys.
Should we go freebasing?
Like,
should we just like nightcap?
What's like some freebasing right now?
Yeah.
Let's just do it.
Let's make Jack.
Cheeky freebase or something.
Yes. he always
says that. He always says that.
Oh shit, I missed the Rolling Stones concert.
Was that tonight?
I saw on Twitter it was no good. You're fine.
I saw it was an earthquake
though. Everyone's on Twitter talking about that.
I've got those
moves like
Dadger.
I've got those moves like Manger. I've got those Heimlich maneuvers.
Oh, that's right.
The Heimlich maneuvers like Jagger.
I haven't thought about that song in calendar years.
The only Rolling Stone song I can reference is Moves Like Jagger,
which isn't a Rolling Stone song.
It's not a Rolling Stone song.
I know.
When we were talking about that,
I was like, I was going to say that.
I was like, wait, that's not a Rolling Stones song.
The only Rolling Stones song I know
is a Maroon 5 song.
Why don't I know any of their songs?
They've been going on for so long.
It's like I could probably name
like 50 Beatles songs
and I'm not even like a huge Beatles ad, but it's like Rolling Stones probably name like 50 beatles songs and i'm not even like a huge
beatles ad but it's like rolling stones satisfaction for sure that is so fucking funny oh my favorite
rolling stone song has got honestly it's got to be moves like jagger i love that rolling stones
it fucking rocks it fucking rocks adam levine i can't believe they got Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera on their
side. It's what a what a random star power. Yeah, we got time for one more. Yeah, why not? Why don't
you do it? I need to since you got so many reviews you're so fucking proud of up. Just like shut up.
Just saying we've got one star from Tyrone T. One star thing. We need a last name for Tyrone T.
One star thing.
We need a last name for Tyrone T.
Topsy Turvy.
Tyrone Topsy Turvy.
Tyrone Topsy Turvy, one star of the Hollywood Bowl.
An absolute cluster F of a place.
Total mismanagement is to understate this place.
Had tickets to Andrea Bocelli, showed up early, but this time truly sucked. Sure,
the concert was sold out, but traffic was so congested it took over an hour to get from the
freeway off ramp to the bowl. Traffic control was a joke. Then, all, every single one of the parking lots
were full, and no contingencies for getting people in. The 8pm show. Closest parking would
have been on Hollywood Boulevard. And by the time we got there, it was already past 9. Why bother?
Just went home. Sucks. And getting to eat $800 tickets because of their mismanagement is obscene. $800.
The bowl can shove it up their keisters.
Never, ever, ever again.
Wow.
To be so mad and yet refuse to use a swear.
I love it so much.
It was a cluster F.
What the heck even was that? It was so effed up that I had to eat $800.
I've never.
And we could shove it up their keisters. $800 in a single ticket to see an opera singer? the heck even was that yeah it was so effed up that i had to eat eight hundred dollars i've never
eight hundred dollars in a single ticket to see an opera singer yeah that's tough that's what i i know a lot of tyrones in my life and i've never heard him use the word keister
you can shove it up there i'm starting to wonder if that guy's name is tyrone
i'm so po.O.ed right now, you guys.
The Andrea Bocelli concert really wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
I'm like, what the fuck is Andrea Bocelli doing charging $800 per fucking ticket?
Like, how are you getting away with that?
That's so much money.
Oh, my God.
It's so much money to then not even get to go is crazy like the taylor swift
and beyonce tickets were cheaper than that no they weren't also you know people are they're suing uh
there's like a new trend right now where people are suing the artists if they have a bad time at
the concert like what there's somebody suing um madonna because she was late i think she
was like an hour late to the concert and they're trying to sue her for it so we'll see what's
gonna happen i don't think they have a case good luck with that it feels like that's like a new
new trend i guess that's happening because artists are late all the time but you feel like you know
you know they're gonna be late you know you're gonna be late right yeah a show says like a concert's like 8 p.m i know
it's they're not going on till 10 30 i know they're not going on that which considering how
everybody seems in the fucking review seems to be budgeting 15 minutes to get from wherever they
live to the hollywood bowl like probably a good thing that they start late like yeah and it also
is hollywood bowl is just a
microcosm of an la issue like it's like yes it's just an issue in this city so if you live here
you should know you should know by now that that's like a problem right so traffic in our city now
i've heard everything yes what the heck someone writing a strongly worded letter to the Hollywood Bowl management.
Dear to whom it may concern.
No, not even dear.
Scratch, scratch, delete, delete, delete, delete.
To whom it may concern.
I am a loyal customer and subscriber to the Hollywood Bowl summer events under the stars.
And I could not be more PO'd right now.
I went, I took my five-year-old boy to see Harry Potter live in concert.
And live in concert, it was not.
Hey, Tyrone, what you doing in there?
Tyrone!
Hey, what you doing over there?
Are you in there writing letters again?
No, come on, man.
No, I'm just like, no, I'm just a little PO'd right now.
I need some space.
Man, Tyrone, you need to stop bullshitting out here and come back outside, man.
We hanging out, drinking lemonade, having a good-ass time.
You over there, bullshit.
I'll be there in a second.
Just, like, give me five minutes.
All right, Tyrone, you know, I don't want no trouble.
Y'all know how hardcore you are.
I don't want you to write a letter about my ass.
You better be careful.
No, I'm not.
As long as you stay on my good side, then you have nothing to fear. Now let me finish my letter and I'll be out there to hang with the boys
momentarily.
All right, all right, all right. I meant no disrespect, Tyrone.
Thank you.
Not bad.
As I was saying, live in concert it was not. For my boy and I were stuck in the car for three hours trying to get in the parking lot.
What the actual F is wrong with you, you people?
I'm sorry to use such foul language, but I have never been more effing disappointed in my life.
What the heck?
Please, please, I implore you, please figure out a better system.
Because it was not nice for us.
You can all shove my $800 Harry Potter live-in concert tickets
up your actual keisters.
Again, pardon my French,
but please get it together next time.
Yours, Tyrone.
We cut to the city traffic office or wherever Tyrone sent that letter.
Oh, excuse me, Mr. City Controller.
It's me, your assistant.
I found this letter and it looks like it was sent by one of our constituents.
It's very scathing review.
I don't know if you want to check it out
maybe we can do something about it
yeah yeah yeah it's Tyrone
yeah give it here give it here
here you go sir okay
yep him and his boy were sitting
in the car for
three hours he was taking him to see
the Harry Potter
yep yeah
this is pretty standard for Tyrone i wouldn't uh you
could just file it away um so we're not gonna do anything about this i mean this is we can make a
difference in this city i think well you've you've everyone complains about the traffic
right you can do something about sorry you have you lived here for a while uh no i just moved
here a couple days ago and then you hired me immediately.
Yeah, right.
That's what I thought.
I couldn't remember from the interview where you said you were from or whatever.
But, you know, traffic here.
I'm from the Midwest.
I'm from the Dakotas.
I'm from both Dakotas.
Oh, you split your time.
Yeah, I split time between each state and there's no traffic there i don't understand why we can't
do that here right you know like how in how in the dakotas you get like um snow swords blizzards
right uh yes yes okay so yeah okay i just you made me nervous there for a second you really
didn't i said blizzard and i was like did he actually
grow up in the dakotas or no no i i had i just i had to think about it because you know
uh i was in my mind i was thinking about a blizzard versus snowstorm trying to see if
those are two different things i don't think they are really but yeah but we have we have
those yes there might be a technical definition for bl that doesn't apply. But I don't really. Yeah. Anyway, yeah.
Traffic, it's kind of like that for us here.
It's like for snowstorms, blizzards, whatever for you in the Dakotas.
That's kind of what traffic is here.
It's just like force of nature.
Like you can try and solve it, but you're never going to get anywhere.
So I don't mean to overstep.
And I know it's only my second day, but you know,
but snowstorms are a natural disaster.
Traffic is something that we can do something about.
Sorry, I got to stop you there. I don't think it's a disaster.
Just the snowstorm is not a, it's not a like category nine earthquake.
Hey, look, I'm the one out of it through it. I'm from the Dakotas.
Where are you from? You're from LA. When's the last time you seen a snowstorm?
You don't know shit about Dakota snowstorms. Well, no, but I do know that, like, in the Midwest, every time there's a snowstorm, it's not a natural disaster.
Oh, shit, a car just pulled up.
Wait.
Who's that?
The license plate says Tyrone, I think.
Knock, knock, knock.
Yeah, come into the city controller's office where two people work.
You're supposed to say, who's there?
Sorry, who's there, Tyrone?
Which is what this city controller must be.
You must be a joke, sir,
because you've done nothing to help me,
my boy, or the city of Los Angeles.
How do you like them apples?
Hi, my name is Christian.
I just moved from the Dakotas.
I'm a big fan of your work,
and I want to just say, I'm here to help you in any way I can.
So you've read my letters?
I have no power here. I work for this man.
But I want you to know that I'm fighting for you.
Well, Christian, thank you so much.
I really appreciate you standing up for the cause.
And now, Mr. City Controller, if that is your real name.
It's not.
Then may I ask who I've been sending my letters to? Mr. City Controller, if that is your real name. It's not. Then what?
Then may I ask who I've been sending my letters to?
You've been sending letters to the office, but my name isn't Mr. Controller.
It's Willie.
Oh.
Oh, Willie.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, Willie? Your name's Willie, sir?
Yeah.
I thought I always called you William, but I didn't know you were the person you called.
Well, yeah, you've known me for two days. It's not surprising you've been calling me William. Well, i didn't know yeah you've known me for two
days it's not surprising you've been well i didn't know we were comfortable like that
willie well hey tyrone man hurry up in there we're trying to go down to internet
you over here gotta take a stops and shit seems like you're needed elsewhere i don't know no no
they'll they can wait a couple more minutes while I get my business sorted out.
Now.
Look, what if we did this? Willie. Willie, is it? What's your name again? Willie?
Willie.
All right. What if we put cones up and move some of the traffic towards Hollywood and Highland and then open up a lane that's specifically off the highway. So maybe people can get off.
Finally, a good effing idea around here.
But then the congestion's just going to end up over there.
Oh, wow.
What a shocker.
Willie's coming out with the negativity.
It's not negativity. Willie's bringing up, like, Willie's a glass half empty kind of guy.
And Christian, I like you.
You've got a good mind and good heart.
I can already tell just by looking at you.
Okay, I don't like the implication there.
I appreciate the compliment.
Yeah, you know, look, I don't want to lose my job.
I'm just trying to help out Willie.
So don't be upset at me.
All I'm saying is-
You can't fire me.
Final warning.
Don't fire Christian.
Christian's the best man you've got on the job.
It's only been 48 hours. He's definitely still in the union probationary period. I can't fire Christian. Christian's the best man you've got. It's only been 48 hours.
He's definitely still in the union probationary period.
I can definitely fire him.
So all I'm saying is as a very concerned citizen,
I can't go back there.
Don't send him back.
Do you know that the snow there is like a natural disaster?
Have you seen what the snow is like in the Dakotas, Willie?
Not in person, but yeah. Thank you, Tyron.
Thank you. Of course. Okay.
I quit. No.
No. You can't quit because you have
to fix the traffic. This was my last warning
and if you don't do anything about it after this...
My final act as city
comptroller, controller
is I am going to...
Comptroller?
Whatever. Okay? Is that gonna... Let him leave, Tyron. is I am going to controller whatever
okay
let him leave Tyrone
I Christian
McCaffrey will
take over
this controller
and I will fix your problem
alright we're going to do it together
thank you
we'll pull out some maps and take a look at the city of LA.
I greatly appreciate that.
I'm going to In-N-Out.
You're not.
With Tyrone's friends.
No, you're not.
Hey, Tyrone.
Hey, Tyrone.
Hey, Willie.
Hey, Tyrone, this Willie dude is going to take us to In-N-Out.
We'll be back.
No, no, Willie, you can go to In-N-Out, but you're not.
Well, you can both be there at the same time, but you're not going with us.
I'm going to take this. We are all going to In-N-Out, but you're not... Well, you can both be there at the same time, but you're not going with us. We are all going to In-N-Out, but not together.
I'm taking the city controller bus.
There's room for like 12 of us in there, so it's fine.
Guys, guys, you cannot seriously be getting on the bus with him right now.
You're either with him or you're with me.
No, we with Willie, man.
Willie.
What? Change.
I prefer calling Willie.
I'll call him William, though.
I'm not calling you Willie. I'm just telling you right now. You can call me Willie. I prefer calling Willie. I'll call him William, though. I'm not calling you Willie.
I'm just telling you right now.
You can call me Willie.
Everyone does.
Nah, homies.
All right.
Hey, I can't make you call me that, but that's fine.
So that's it.
Let's get on the bus.
We're going in and out.
Fair enough.
What happened?
Tyrone had so much power
And then everyone just fucking bailed on him
He abused his power
He abused
He wasn't loyal to his people
And just bailed on him
He lost all their respect
Out of nowhere
He said wait two minutes and that was too much
he's telling us to wait in the car fuck this guy
wait in the car fuck that fuck that that is not me
if i had someone maybe wait in a car while they went to complain about traffic, I would definitely not be friends with that person anymore.
I would leave them behind in a heartbeat.
Fuck that.
If someone was just like, hey, I should just stop in CVS and grab some real quick.
That's such a fine errand that I'm cool to be like, okay, I'll just wait on my phone.
If someone's like, I need to go file a complaint about traffic to the city.
I'm like, use your own car.
I don't know.
Why, man?
Come back home.
The character Christian McCarver.
Clearly the 49ers game is on my mind right now.
It's happening right now.
The AFC championship.
The AFC championship is happening right at this moment.
Oh, my God.
Oh, should we do our last segment?
Let's do it.
This food shook me all week trying not to get
copyrighted lamar put the song in there speaking of guns and roses we used to have that thing
we don't want to get who sees that song is that a roller rolling stone i think it's guns and roses it's acd
fuck me oh yeah you stayed in the show for three years never knew what it was
lamar for better for worse what has been shaking your whole ass what can't you stop thinking about
what's on your mind uh let's let's see i's shaking me is
I should have thought about this more
if you don't have one I have one
okay go ahead
so a couple weeks ago
on this show I think what shook me
was
at the end of the day Lamar
it was vanilla almond milk
and I hate that that's the most exciting part of my week.
Vanilla almond milk from where?
From Erewhon.
It's the one thing I buy from Erewhon because it's too expensive.
And I don't want to buy anything else.
$10 for a fucking vial of oat milk.
And listen, nope, almond milk.
And listen.
Or whatever.
No, it is a simple joy that I treat myself to in life.
I went back today because I run out of
their vanilla almond milk so fucking fast.
I went back today thinking, ah, yes,
I'm here for one thing and one thing only.
And wouldn't
you know they didn't have it?
Wouldn't you know they were out of vanilla almond milk?
What I bought
was chocolate almond
milk. And that shit tastes like a milkshake.
But you were going to put your whole thing.
And I did put it in my coffee.
You put it in your coffee.
And I did put it in my coffee.
You're putting chocolate milk in your coffee.
Chocolate almond milk.
It tastes like a mocha.
It tastes like a mocha.
It's so fucking good.
But here's the thing.
I went in there.
I said, okay, fine.
I'll take the chocolate almond milk because that looks delicious.
It was either that or like a strawberry rose almond milk.
I'm like, this is doing too much. I'll take my chocolate almond to go.
It's, it's just as good, maybe better than the vanilla.
It's my coffee is a treat for me.
It's so good.
I'm happy for you. No, you're not fucked. No, we're done. What has been shaking you guys?
I got one now if you want. I I've been shaken by mushrooms.
I I I've been trying to I've been learning how to cook
lately. And I never liked trying to, I've been learning how to cook lately and I never
like mushrooms, but I liked the way they look. And I mean, I liked the visual of them on
plates and stuff. But so I was like, I want to start figuring out dishes with mushrooms
and last week I made this, I cooked these mushrooms with garlic and rosemary and put
them on this steak and man that shook me to my core and i
just like that sounds just now now i'm like i'm trying to figure out what kind of mushrooms i can
what kind of dishes i could do with mushrooms that sounds amazing what kind are you doing the baby
bella are you doing the shiitake are you doing what what's i'm a little scared of shiitake they
look like they're like long i like
the the ones that look like you know the cartoon looking i think that uh no i know exactly yeah
where it looks like what you when i picture mushroom that's what it's like some of the
other shit looks like they don't look like yeah but i do like the white one the white blanchie
ones the cremini ones and uh yeah and the
baby bella baby bella joints yeah i'm still learning i'm still learning that look like
cartoons totally you cut it open and down the middle it's like that's when you imagine a
mushroom that's what it looks like yes yeah shiitakes look a little wild like they're like
they are wild but it's like hey what's what's up? I love it, dude.
I, I ride for mushrooms so hard.
They're so good.
The umami of it all.
Oh, it's so good.
Yeah.
I also, I do think that like mushrooms get like, or like a lot of the things that you're
like your first introduction to mushrooms.
A lot of time it's like when you're a kid is like, here's a pizza with mushrooms on
it. And you're like, well, pizza's fucking like here's a pizza with mushrooms on it and you're
like well pizza's fucking good and you just put mushrooms on it so that's kind of shit or like
a salad something i never understood to this day is a salad that has cut up raw mushroom yes it's
like what right actual fuck are we doing with this raw mushrooms are tough they're tough it's so gross
yeah it's just it's just bizarre
and like yeah so i get it but yeah once you get like a little garlic little butter on there
fuck i love it so fucking good fuck i love them
what's been shaking me i went to the movies last night and I've had to switch
which movie theater I go to because the movie theater
I used to go to closed down
permanently which is very sad
yeah it had been open for like a hundred fucking years
and they just never really
recovered from the pandemic but there's another movie theater
in Chicago the Davis
in Lincoln Square it's really great
but the difference between the two
is that the davis
has assigned seats you know what i mean which i'm not still not used to because i've been so used to
going to this other theater for so many years and i keep forgetting that you have to fucking
buy the seats in advance not just so that you have a ticket but so you actually have like a
decent fucking seat and uh we ended up in like the fourth row back.
And I guess what's fucking shaking me is I don't understand why we're still putting chairs there.
Like if I.
That's a great point.
If I have to sit in the first four rows of a movie, just tell me the fucking movie sold out.
Like I'm not going for those.
Why are you?
I have never like for it was enough. Like the movie was just like,'m not going for those why are you it sucked i have never like for it was
enough like the movie was just like what'd you see it was american fiction it was great it was
a great fucking movie and it's very i love that movie it was very like you know just like people
in rooms talking it was very dialogue heavy and like i i felt like i still really enjoyed it from
that kind of fucking staring up at it. Like it's a spaceship landing angle,
but there have been other movies I've seen where I've been in the front row.
Like,
especially when I was like in high school and we were incapable of fucking
like showing up on time and we were like trying to sneak into shit or
whatever.
And it's like,
you're sitting in the front row and you're just like,
my neck is going to hurt.
Yeah.
48 hours. I'm not seeing anything. And this cost me $17. and you're just like my neck is gonna hurt yeah 48 hours i'm not seeing
anything and this cost me 17 dollars and i'm just like right i'm over it i'm like take the seats out
if like just take the seats out but they won't they want they they i mean and i just said my
favorite movie theater closed down because they couldn't afford to stay open after covid and my pitch is have less seats
make less money it just it blows my fucking mind but like just move everything back a little bit
i don't know like yeah like why haven't they why don't they care about that those people those
people who have to sit there like they should think no one's gonna sit there no one's going
it's wild and with the assigned seat things it's like genuinely if there's a 7 p.m and a 9 30 and i'm like well
i want to go to the seven and then i see that the only seats that are left available for the seven
are in the front two i'm just going to the fucking 9 30 like right right you're ultimately people
aren't ever taking those seats unless it's sold out, which is so fucking rare that a movie sells
out in person. Yeah, maybe they should
save them for like, okay, we're
going to not sell these seats. And then if it's sold out
and you really want to go, you can buy them.
Or you get them at half price or something.
You really want to see it at that time
to get a first row seat.
Yeah.
Fucking nuts.
Really quick, I want to add a quick
what shook me because I fully forgot this
was last night. Daniel and I finished
the series finale of
Sex Education, which is one of my favorite TV
shows of all time. And it ended with the
fourth season. And it was
so good. If you guys haven't seen
you guys or anyone listening hasn't seen Sex Education
on Netflix, it is one of my
favorite shows of all time.
They ended it so beautifully.
I haven't cried that hard in a really long time.
It's one of those shows where I'm like, these are my friends.
These are my friends.
And now my friends are leaving.
And what am I going to do without my friends?
So it's really, really good.
It was a great send-off.
Watch it.
I'm going to check that out.
Yeah.
I've heard a lot of good things about that.
Okay. Lamar, anything? Oh, no. What were you going to say? No, come on. No, come on. a great send-off watch i'm gonna check that out yeah i've heard a lot heard a lot of good things about that okay lamar anything oh no what are you gonna do no i don't need to just talk about i was just gonna say that was one of those ones that like i think i kind of fell off because of
the nature of the way that streaming shows come out these days where it's like the whole season
would drop at once i would watch it in like three days. And then I like, by the time the next season
comes out,
it's like three years later,
I've completely fucking
And also,
you didn't like that show
because you're very like,
you're kind of like Puritan.
Yes, you're sex negative.
And so there was like,
you could not watch that show.
I think sex is bad.
I think we should do it.
You could not watch that show.
Two things I don't like,
premarital sex,
postmarital sex.
No sex.
