Bravo. to start a podcast than by threatening me that you're going to listen to it on two times speed.

So we're so happy you're here. It's so nice to, thank you so much for having me on. This is great. And I've been listening to the show for such a long time, so. To be a small part of this
Starting point is 00:05:34 beautiful machine. No, you're not giving yourself enough credit because you are the show now. Yeah. You are the successor. Red View, Red View. Red View, Red View. Red View. A communist now yeah you are the success red view red view red view red view a communist we should also say before
Starting point is 00:05:57 we move on that's theme song came in from Kevin aka Banksy probably no there's no way but yeah there's no way Banksy's also singing. So laissez faire about it. There's no way Banksy listens to this show. I think there's a chance, but it's not, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:06:14 In the dead of night, while he's putting up art, he's just got this on the head. That's how he signs all of his checks at restaurants and stuff. Banksy probably. Oh, sorry. I didn't think you would see that. Fuck, that's so embarrassing god kevin thank you that was such a treat um it accosted my ears and such a brilliant day um but for those of you who and i honestly i don't know if you're not if okay if you're listening to the show and are not familiar
Starting point is 00:06:40 with ed jones's work literally turn this off and go look up Ed Jones' fucking videos because I cry laugh. Or, you know what? You can listen to the show and watch it simultaneously. I think it's going to be a little confusing, but you can if you want. It'd be nice to have two voices of Ed.
Starting point is 00:06:56 That's when they're at one best. On top of each other. Not talking about the same thing. Two freight trains at full power. But yeah, Ed, do you want to plug your stuff up top so people can go check you out and follow you? Yeah, so if, I mean, I'd imagine there's very few people out there who have seen the stuff, but if you have, thanks for watching.
Starting point is 00:07:19 But my handles are Ed Jones UK, which years down the line feels like a terrible, terrible mistake. You should have picked a better one early doors. But I do like, I do, there's skits and there's quips and character impressions and things like that. It's very silly. It's very stupid, but it's a nice way to spend 80 seconds, right? And then you can just go on to whatever you want after that. You can just forget about it.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Just describing free will. Take it in and then don't remember my name. You can watch it and then you can decide what to do after that. You can do whatever you want after you watch it. Yeah, you go on a log rabbit hole of what you can do. Are you coming to us from London or from somewhere else? I'm in London. I'm in southeast London.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I'm above a chip shop. What a dream. Which is like, it couldn't be more English right but yeah this it's it's good and bad
Starting point is 00:08:09 because the smell is is horrific it's oil it's 24-7 oil and I can't say we've we've had the nicest
Starting point is 00:08:17 track record me and the the lovely men who own the shop downstairs but you know bygones will be bygones come Christmas time we'll put it all behind us. But it's a terrible place to live.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Yeah, big oil stains on your shirt, right? They don't throw hot oil at you, do they? Morning. Open the door. Oh, it's postman. Morning, guys. Cheers. I was talking to my friend's boyfriend is a Britman.
Starting point is 00:08:44 What kind of Britman? he was from just north of London and he was lamenting that LA doesn't have any fish and chip shops like anything is it just completely non-existent out there? well it's a desert
Starting point is 00:09:00 it's a desert climate and it's a fish and chip desert it's a fish and chip desert there's one and we had an episode a while ago about British themed pubs not in the UK. And there's one in LA, it's in Santa Monica, called the King's Head. And that's kind of the only real, and not even real, it's the closest thing to, and even then it's not, uh, not the real thing. It's not up to scratch. They have, it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:28 they try and do it all in one. So it's like they have the pub, but then they also have a little shop adjacent to it that, oh yeah, it sells like a bunch of British. Oh, the store. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah. It's pretty kitschy. Do they put on that kind of, do they go with a, with a, like a fake accent as well? British owned, old couple, as well? British owned. Old couple.
Starting point is 00:09:46 British owned. British owned. Through and through. Fun fact about that space, and then I'll shut the fuck up. That space? It used to be a restaurant called... Watch this space. Watch this space.
Starting point is 00:09:56 No, that restaurant space used to be owned by somebody named Gloria. It was a restaurant, I think, called Gloria's. And the Doors song, Gloria, is about that. Or no, yeah, that song. Really? That's cool. What about the Van Morrison song? Gloria? Yeah. I think that's about God. Herself.
Starting point is 00:10:15 But we're not here to talk about British things. We're here to talk about God. Alright, that's why we're here. He on most high. Yahweh. Yes, way. Father, son. And in a way, we are talking about something that is close to God.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And we asked Ed, you know, if he had any topics that he wanted to bring to the Red Table Talk today. And you were very excited about one of them. Can you tell us what it is and tell us why? Well, a few years ago, you know, sort of every year January rolls around and you were very excited about one of them. Can you tell us what it is and tell us why? Well, a few years ago, you know, sort of every year January rolls around and you think I'm going to completely transform everything about my personality. So we, do you have a website called Groupon
Starting point is 00:10:56 out in the States? Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. So the like where you can just, it's just tap, just kind of random tap, but heavily reduced. So you think, perfect, I'll have it. So there was like a block batch of salsa lessons going for like 96% off, which is always a strange amount.
Starting point is 00:11:15 You'd be like, that's a bad idea. They're holding on to something. That 4% has got to pay for some kitten heels. Wow. So me and some friends we uh so we thought this is great this is great we'll sign up it was a yeah a block of 10 and we turned up to the first one and never went back so we had like 90 minutes of of salsa dancing and i was this is this is hell this is hell on really yeah what what was hard was it a hard dance to do or you
Starting point is 00:11:44 just didn't think it was so this was all like pre-covid time as well so it. Really? Yeah. Was it a hard dance to do or you just didn't think it was? So this was all like pre-COVID time as well. So it was an incredibly dank basement. Very humid. Very wet walls. Of course. And you turn up and you're sort of, you're with your kind of, you're with your gang and you think, this is great.
Starting point is 00:11:59 We're all going to just be dancing together. This will be fun. And then you just start kind of doing these weird rotations around the room. That's what I been reading it's a lot of round robin strangers right and it's just like why have i paid money to come and really like get in an overly close embrace with someone who i've never met before yeah and it was and you're not like i mean i don't want to put words in your mouth ed but like did it come naturally to you? I wasn't putting words in his mouth you just asked a question It felt right? Yeah that's not I changed in the middle of the sentence
Starting point is 00:12:29 Were you good at salsa dancing? Did you find that you had a knack for it? I'm one of those people who's like I always have a slightly inflated self of being like this is gonna this is a piece of piss Sorry did you say a piece of piss? A piece of piss
Starting point is 00:12:44 One piece of piss this and you say a piece of piss a piece of piss one piece of piss please um but it was it was uh it was terrible didn't have the rhythm it was so loud and i was just kind of just felt like an old man just kept on so is it why is it so loud oh man have you done any other kinds of dance or was this kind of your first foray into being like, I'm a mover now? I think it should have started a beautiful love story with the moving word. Do you know what I mean? But it died a death. I've always wanted to do like jazz and tap.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Do you dance? Do you guys dance? I am what we call in the industry,'m a mover i thought you were a shaker well i i can shake upon request um but no it's like i know very very basic tap very basic jazz because i went to theater school done a lot of musical theater so it's like but i was always cast in the role that didn't need to do the dancing i would just kind of sing and other people would dance uh because no one needs to be put through that so um i'm gonna say no but i can do like a triple time step and people think that i actually can tap but that's like the one cool thing i can
Starting point is 00:14:02 do and that's where it's like the biggest part thing I can do. That's all you really need though, right? And that's where it stops. Yeah, that's like the biggest part, I thought. So Jeff, what about you? Dancing? You love a dance. Yeah. Well, I'm sort of genre-less, Ed, when it comes to dancing. So am I good at salsa? No, because I can't be boxed in that way.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I shan't be boxed. So you can't be good at it because you don't want to be boxed into it? Listen, my hips can move in such a way but it can't be defined by salsa my hips have lied they will lie they will lie again i can't control what my hips say that's insane no i love dancing but and i i would say i'm a good dancer but not yeah like i can't do i truly can't do like types of dance. I can do a box step, but I like, everything else is just like movements
Starting point is 00:14:49 that I've never seen anyone demonstrate. What about a grapevine? Sorry, what about a grapevine? Yeah. But an eye choice. I shall be boxed. And I would never say it was ballroom. I will box.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I can't box. No, I'll just move my body in ways that annoy others around me. That checks out. Yeah. Is the ass prohibitive to dancing or does it help? Glad you asked In that way, I'm more of a shaker Yeah, yeah No, I will do a full body roll to sort of peacock, really, my mounds
Starting point is 00:15:23 And try to find a lover ever refer to your ass as plural mounds that is scoops i thought it was gonna be worse i thought we're gonna be like peacock my mound and i'm like that's par for the course but to refer to the ass as two mounds it's tough you know it's uh and, thank you for asking. Because Riley never asks about my ass. Of course not. Because I don't have to because you bring it up so frequently.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Wow. You're always like, oh, I got that dump truck. Oh, I have the junk. In front of a guest. You're really going to put me on blast. This is how you're going to bring it up. Listen, Ed,
Starting point is 00:16:02 well, this is, you unleashed this um you did um so we so but i've never taken a salsa class riley have you taken a salsa i have never taken a salsa class but it's like a lot of the reviews i've been reading about them like they're from what i've seen it's like they're split up into um like here's a beginner class but then at a certain time it just kind of it turns into like a social dance so it's like anyone who does salsa i mean there's a lot of them like this but it's like anyone who does it frequently can just come and dance and which is awesome yeah that's amazing i wish one that i was good enough at it to like that kind of thing to go and just show up somewhere
Starting point is 00:16:42 people i don't know just because i'm let's all, we all love to dance. I did go to this one club one time where there was that same kind of thing, but swing dancing. It was this great live swing band. And I was, there was some friends and then it was like, you know, the magic hour hit and people just took to the floor.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And what was so wild about it? One, they were incredible swing dancers. Like really, I could have watched them for hours and I did, but, um, they,
Starting point is 00:17:09 they, uh, they were so serious. They were like straight faced, like fully, like, I'm like, are they even having fun?
Starting point is 00:17:20 That's the best bit, right? It was crazy. It was just, I'm like doing flips through the legs, all this stuff, but just stone-faced. And I'm like, it looks like a possession. It was really, yeah. I'm like, you've put your life into this.
Starting point is 00:17:34 This is so clearly a passion, but you feel no joy, no visible joy. I actually hate this. Yeah. So I wonder, but I feel like it's just so different. So I'm excited to get into these. Well, let's get into some reviews. Ed, do you want to start us off? I can kick us off at one.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brilliant. Let me find it for you. Here we go. So this is from a place called Salsa Tropical in London, which already is setting us off on the right foot. It's two stars. And it's from a guy called Aaron M.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Riley, do you have a last name for Aaron M? Marin. Aaron Marin. Aaron Marin. Aaron Marin said, we went to the beginners slash improvers workshop. The instructors were great.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And I so want to give five stars to this, but the execution of the class was such a disappointment. For starters, they combined the improvers and beginners in the same studio. There were probably about 35 beginners and 15 improvers. Initially, two classes were running simultaneously in the studio with two sets of two instructors talking at the same time, making it quite difficult to concentrate in a big group. Then the beginners were moved outside of the studio and the improvers stayed inside so the beginners didn't have any music for the whole three hours, save for the time when the studio
Starting point is 00:18:55 door was open and we listened to what the improvers were listening to. The beginner's instructor did ask the improvers if they could come back in, but the improvers' instructors refused. What? How the hell do you become an improver if you can't even dance as a beginner? Oh, my God. Aaron Marron's so desperate to get his improvers badge. Please.
Starting point is 00:19:30 You're just like, hi, Mr. Brown and Mr. Carmichael. Thank you for seeing me in between classes. Wow, I didn't know dance teacher offices were so clean. So, sorry, I'll just cut to the chase. I've been taking the beginner class for, as you know, about three months. I have just been, I am so honored to be learning the craft, you know, which is like after the divorce, things were pretty tricky. And so to find something that I could really throw myself and my body into and meet new people has been great. And I feel like I'm ready to move up a class. When I tried doing it online, it said to talk to you guys directly.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It wouldn't actually let me click on that. So that's, here we are. He stands up, walk over to a drinks cabinet, slowly pours himself whiskey without saying anything. Oh. So you want to improve, huh? I do, I do. I really, wow, that's strong. Just, sorry. It's, no do I really um wow that's strong um just sorry it's uh no I really do um
Starting point is 00:20:29 I feel like this has been so great for me and just my mental health physical health and I'm I'm excited to get better you know it's the only the only way you just get to try and fail try and fail and so I'm ready to move up from beginners class do you think where can I do sorry do you think you really have what it takes to be an improver I'm just saying we get a lot of beginners stroll through this office asking the same questions with the same complaints with the same worries the same fears why should I listen to you ahead of any of them same fears um I uh wow um sorry I didn't have anything prepared I didn't know this was going to be kind of an interview portion. He puts his feet up on the desk, like the biggest Cuban heels you've ever seen, like six inches. Wow. Um, I guess I feel like I'm ready to be an improver because I,
Starting point is 00:21:21 uh, well actually one of, one of your teachers, um, uh, Leanne, she, she did say to me, she said, Oh, you're, you're really getting a hang of this. You should move up. And so I, I think that's probably, um, that's what made me think. Leanne said that to you? Yes. Leanne said that to me. All right. I'll talk to her. Sorry? Listen, I, I'm the, uh, I mean, manager of the the studio I'm in every class
Starting point is 00:21:45 I bow down to you sir we don't joke here oh okay carry on thank you thank you I've seen you improve to be sure thank you let me finish okay what I haven't seen
Starting point is 00:22:02 is your love for the dance you can learn every step you can learn Um, what I haven't seen is your love for the dance. You can learn every step. You can learn every move. But the improvers class is full of people with passion. I thought that was. Everyone.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Let me finish. Sorry. Everyone in the improvers class is there because they want it more than anything else. I don't know if you've ever seen them dance, but they don't even smile. For this to be a post-divorce hobby for you? I'm sorry, but I'm like, I'm gonna, Mr. Carmichael, excuse my language, I'm pissed. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I did not mean to upset anyone. If anything, I would think that you would be thrilled that a new student would want to continue with classes. Beginners are a dime a dozen. Okay. Right. Let me finish. The improvers class,
Starting point is 00:22:56 like my colleague just said, is for people who have shown the aptitude. Excuse me. Who have shown the aptitude. Who have shown the commitment to the spirit of the dance, okay? Are you willing to answer me to this, True? Are you willing to dance
Starting point is 00:23:12 outside for the six hours necessary to qualify to be an improver? Can you speak more to dance, like dance outside of class requirements? No, no, no, no, no. A true salsa dancer.
Starting point is 00:23:27 A true salsa dancer doesn't need music. A true salsa dancer doesn't need a studio. They don't need shoes. They don't need steps. They need heart. They need soul. And they need steps. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So I don't need shoes. So I don't need to dance. And I don't need shoes i don't so i don't need to dance and i don't need music but i need the heart uh listen i i if i'm hearing you correctly um i really love this i mean i know it's not just a hot a post-divorce hobby i feel like that's really um watering it down i i came to this to meet new people and find a new passion. And I, and I am so passionate about, are you eating? Sorry. Oh, cigar. Um, for me, for all of us. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Uh, I'm just going to set it down on the table. I'm good for right now, but, um, I, uh, I, I do think that I have the passion.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I do have a question, though. I mean, this is no disrespect. No disrespect. I respect you both immensely. But there are plenty levels that are way higher than the improvers. I feel like if anything within the name, the improver class is just to get better. There are the levels of like professional one professional two um that i feel like are really filled with people who are like they take this i can't see you but i i think i'm reading your face in that agreement no i don't see
Starting point is 00:24:58 the sign with your name on it i see a sign that says las salsa tropical yes this the sign of the studio does not have my name on it, nor did I imply that it did. I work in finance. Can I show you something? Okay. Lead you over to the window. Twizzle a little Venetian blind so slowly between his fingers.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's sort of on the second level overlooking the dance studio. Yeah. Do you see them out there? Yes. They were beginners, just like you. Six weeks ago, they came along thinking this would just be a fun little pick-me-up. A nice activity to try between work and other hobbies. They've been there for six weeks. Dancing outside, non-stop.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Why? Because they want to improve. Orange shirt. He got a divorce. Okay, I'm so sorry. Lost his job working in Formula One. Oh my god. Teal heels.
Starting point is 00:26:04 That's Donna. Donna gave up her children to dance. Two girls and a boy. Some of the sweetest kids I've ever seen. Where are they now? They're on the street and they're not dancing. What are you talking about? The kids are living on the street?
Starting point is 00:26:20 We show you this to see if you maybe want to reconsider even wanting to be in the improvers class. Because it can be hobby it can be this silly little thing are they in the improver is that the improvers class because i've seen the improvers class coming in out of the studio having a great time i've listened to their music they wish they were in the improvers class these beginners so what class is that they're still beginners and they're dancing outside for this they're trying to get into the improvers. Did we not make that clear? That's professional two? It goes beginners, improvers, professional two,
Starting point is 00:26:50 professional three, expert, beast mode, expert two. Now where in that chain do you want to be? Don't give me some candy cane answer here. Tell me straight. I wasn't going to give you a candy cane answer here tell me straight i wasn't gonna give you a candy cane answer i don't even know what that would possibly even entail um you know what this has uh i have a lot to think about i have a lot to think about just kind of staring blankly at the people dancing on the street once once try to catch your attention um they're like they're mouthing like yeah one of them writes on a big sign we haven't eaten in three days twizzles the blinds back down sorry you're saying that's
Starting point is 00:27:39 yeah no i you know what maybe maybe i you're right about me maybe this isn't what I'm this isn't my passion and so you know what I'm going you know I think we've been too hard on you no no you haven't you have been so right this was just a little post divorce hobby that I'm not really cut out for you have it you have the
Starting point is 00:27:59 passion I see the fire now I can hear it in your eyes I'm actively telling you that I don't have the passion I came in here saying that I have the passion and you said that I didn't I'm telling you you that I don't have the passion. I came in here saying that I have the passion, and you said that I didn't. I'm telling you now that I don't, and now you're saying that I do. They both take out gold keys from neck chains from their shirts at the same time, go to the same place in the wall,
Starting point is 00:28:14 turn them at the same time, a big safe opens. Oh, my God. This is for you. What? It's an improver's badge. It's a dance outfit with an improver's badge. It's a dance outfit. With an improver's badge. I should have mentioned the dance outfit first.
Starting point is 00:28:29 One comes with the other. I really, I couldn't possibly. It feels, if you feel wrong for me to accept this. It's time. I don't want to be here anymore. Put this skort on. It's a salsa skort. It's a salsa skort.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I have a family. Not anymore. And this is something to be happy about. This is what I was afraid of. I have to go pick up my kids from school. Oh, that's already been handled. Oh my God, where are my kids? Where are Jason and Ruby?

Starting point is 00:29:44 you said you had a passion for this kind of work. I wanted to give you a glimpse behind the scenes man. I don't have a passion for delivery driving man. You said you did. Look it's just I don't I'll come out here if you need a friend but just be honest about it. I don't need friends man I'm trying to help you. I thought
Starting point is 00:30:00 we were friends but yeah wow another blow. Did they even order this? No man that's the thing. Did you even go through an app? No. So you got a to-go order and you brought it to a salsa dancing studio? Yes. Yes. What's really
Starting point is 00:30:15 going on with you, by the way? Because this can't be it. This can't be desperate. He finds out that his dad was denied an Improvis badge 20 years ago. He's just been on one long... One day. One day.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Put back inside. Your children are at my house, which is very large. Don't worry. All of our houses are very large here. Congratulations. Please. I have the score on. Can I please see my kids

Presses on a buzzer. Yeah, you can bring them in now. No, this isn't a drill.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I'm in it this time. Thank you. She walks in. He has a shadow behind his eyes. Color just drained from his face. Hi. Hi. I hear you're looking to improve your salsa dancing. Um, I guess.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Sure. Do you have the passion? I told them I didn't, but then they made me put on the skort. Good. You did the right thing. What are you talking about? Where's your family? Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Five, six, seven, and let's go. Keep it tight. He's not even that good at it. He's doing disco moves. He's doing beat-like bad DJs moves. So I think these are the improvers and not the professional twos. He just bumped up to professional two, but this is actually the professional two level.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Okay. Giving it your all and being fine at salsa dancing. Giving up your life and being just shy of a professional two. I have slaved to reach a six in this game. And I almost was a backup dancer for Shakira. I didn't make it. Yeah, I didn't make it this time.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I had an audition. Shakira the hardest? Who? No, I wish. Could you imagine? All right, let's take a quick break. Thanks to some sponsors, and we'll be right back with some more salsa dancing reviews.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Just a tiny break. Just a little one. And we're back. This is a four-star review of La Clave at Och Salsa. We do not have the same review. We do not? No, but it's like, oh, yeah. It's a salsa dancing place in Studio City, California.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Four stars from Adelina M. Ed, do you have a last name for Adelina M? Make them laugh. Oh, wait. This is the same studio? Hold on, hold on, hold on. No, it's not. Wait.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Okay. No, it's not the same person. Adelina, make them laugh. Four stars. Where has this hidden gem been all my life? For all my salsa bachata lovers out there, this place is legit. Such a fun and diverse group of dancers just there to
Starting point is 00:33:26 have a good time they offer lessons every thursday for salsa at 8 p.m and bachata at 8 50 but you can skip both and just show up for the social dancing piece why not five stars i called ahead twice to ask about coat check since it was a chilly winter day and i didn't want to worry about my belongings and was told that there was no coat check well upon leaving I saw a sign for coat check by the door pool table yes there is one is on an uneven floor so I blame the floor for losing was expecting live music since many of the photos posted showed a live DJ band DJ was though. She went to a Soho house. She didn't go to a dance studio. Where has this gem been?
Starting point is 00:34:11 She just went to Soho house, Los Angeles. There's some Tiesto playing. The pool table. There's such a nice vibe in here. There's a great energy. Like a Latin. It's like a Latin energy. Does that feel right? Not really really uh careful by the way um no it's just like a it's a members only club you
Starting point is 00:34:31 know there's like a you know bar and i love it i love it it's such a great energy here uh just one one tiny little thing i um i suffer from vast swings in temperature i can be incredibly hot and incredibly cold. I just want to make sure when I'm having a great time that that's not going to be affected. I don't want to put that on you, but... Okay. Is there something that can be done about this?
Starting point is 00:34:54 You're my roommate's new boyfriend. I wanted to get to know you a little bit, so... And thank you. Thank you so much. It really means a lot. I know you guys have been friends for so long, and for me to join this just really spirit can i kind of say spiritual it feels spiritual like the connection you guys have with each other oh my gosh so not really you're giving it all you're giving
Starting point is 00:35:15 everything too much weight sorry i feel like let's nothing just i only kind of want to be here i just want to say that she thought it'd be a good idea if we hung out. So let's just kind of make it through the night. You have vast, you were saying you have vast swings in temperature. Is that why you're wearing convertible pants? I don't even want to make like a whole thing about it. But if I get cold, I get angry and violent.
Starting point is 00:35:36 And if I get hot, I get sad and kind of chatty. Does that make sense? Chatty's not the opposite of violent by the way um excuse me sir uh hello hi yes uh i from the front desk you know a couple minutes ago you came and asked about our thermostat and i want to let you know that yes um we cannot change it based off of one customer we do like to keep it at a 72, which we find is right smack dab in the middle. I'm kind of glad you said warm. I'm sorry, I don't want to kick up a bad energy
Starting point is 00:36:14 because it's so great in here, but that feels like you're kind of ignoring, I don't know can i say my wants i am so sorry you feel that way sir we value all of our patrons here it is is you know it's one of those things that it's like if you ask for the temperature change then it's like everyone feels like they can come up and ask for it so we do like to just keep it at one temperature but we have plenty of outdoor spaces um there's a nice little breeze coming in let's just i know the bartender over there if you'd like to there's a nice little breeze coming in. Let's just, I know the bartender over there. If you'd like to, I'm so sorry about that. No,
Starting point is 00:36:47 it's totally fine. I have a table for two right out by the bar, actually, if you'd like to follow me if that's something that you'd be interested in. Amazing, amazing,
Starting point is 00:36:53 and thank you, thank you, sorry, what was, I'm so sorry, what was your name again? Kelly. Kelly,
Starting point is 00:36:58 ugh, there's such a nice vibe in here. Are you feeling that? Thank you. Thank you. Well, you know what? It's the people who make the place. It's the people who make the place.
Starting point is 00:37:06 It's the people who make the place. And so, you know, you love what you do. You'll never work a day in your life. Paul's being really close, seriously. Seriously, okay? If I'm not allowed to take my coat off, I am going to get chattier than you will ever, ever know.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yes, you can take your coat off. You can take your coat off. Please let me go. Kind of eyeing the security. You can, yes, yeah. Let's just go to the table. I'll lead you outside. And here you go. Here is a full bar top table.
Starting point is 00:37:37 There you go. And if you need something, please call anyone other than me. Thank you so much. Thank you, yeah. I have taken off all of my coats. Just wearing like a tiny, tiny vest. You're pretty intense, man.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I don't know if Lisa told me that part of you. I mean, she is a spirit and a half, my man. And when two kindred can I say flames? We feel like kind of raw flames.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Nice. When they rub up against each other oh my gosh it's kind of a similar vibe to this space. Do you know what I mean? Have you ever taken something lightly? Because I feel like you just kind of treat everything
Starting point is 00:38:21 I noticed not only tonight but you treat everything with such gravity. I think for me, everything has lightness and darkness about it. Does that make sense? Like there is grief with every smile. There is joy with every heartache. And I mean, that's, but again, that's just me.
Starting point is 00:38:43 That's just me. And you were saying that you own a children's birthday party rental company yeah so it's party princesses bounce castles um we do not we do not do catering and I'm sick to the back teeth of people thinking that these companies are gonna it's not a it's not a it's not an all-encompassing umbrella. People have got ideas above their station nowadays. Are you hot? Are you hot in here? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I mean, we're kind of in an indoor-outdoor patio. I'm feeling a breeze. I am ice hot out here. It is insufferable. So when you get hot, you get chatty, or when you get hot, you get violent? I forgot. I get a bit...
Starting point is 00:39:21 Like I say, man, there's so many tones to every tune. Do you know what I mean? When you play the guitar, when you play the salsa guitar, you've got to get the right melody out of it. Do you know what I mean? Was that you basically prompting me
Starting point is 00:39:37 to ask you if you play salsa guitar? Excuse me. He tries to rip one off the wall. I'm so sorry. That's permanent art arts sorry to interrupt um i i i'm sitting couple tables over with my family come join oh no that's not what i was gonna ask that's so kind um i i just it's my daughter's birthday coming up and i overheard that you are the person who runs party princesses i'm I'm off the clock.

Starting point is 00:40:18 I've seen him give me his card. Partyprincess.com. Well, yes, we've been looking. And I just, I just, we've been trying to book a reservation for months, but there was no info about the catering aspect um and so i just i couldn't help but one if i could just if i could i overheard you talking about it just go to the website and just go to the website and so do you happen to cater do you guys cater they don't they don't cater and i think go
Starting point is 00:40:38 back to your table for sure because i'm like stirring stirring the, just staring into it for so long. We do not cater. Oh. I'm so sorry. At this point, I would leave the bar. Yes. Sorry about that. Have a good day. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:40:58 The people here are so beautiful. When you see people dancing. That's what you're going to say right after that? That was crazy. There's such a great spirit here. People just come in, and I think because they do the social dancing later on. Oh, my gosh. Sign me up.

Okay, I, sorry, again, I have this thing where I just like my food to be very kind of curt. Do you know what I mean? Very dry, very like kind of, can I say dusty?
Starting point is 00:41:45 Do you think that could be served dusty? Again, don't make a whole fuss about me. It is so cold out. We can do it well done, which will dry it out a little bit. Yes, so if you do well done, so just kind of like, imagine doing it well done, then well done again, well done again, well done again. Just kind of put it through the system a couple of times,

My niece had a birthday party a couple months ago, and he was running the bounce house, and I know it sounds crazy, but we just hit it off that's crazy yeah he just ordered a veal as dry as can be described it as wanting it to taste dusty and he's threatened two people at this place oh that's

I don't want to go in there because I get so hot. This has been one of the worst nights of my life. I'm going to leave.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Here is cash for the wedge. And I really hope this relationship does not work out. I don't understand your story. You seem to be a very trauma-ridden person, but you haven't revealed anything to me. Has anything ever happened in your life that kind of traumatized you because you have these weird reactions to temperature,

Don't take it out on me that you're stressed. I'm sorry. I'm trying to be better. I have all those things. You're right.

And you, Sarah, you are glass half empty as shit. And I know you've never said that verbatim, but that, that's always what it made me feel. So it makes me scared to try new things. Okay. It makes me scared because i think oh it's never
Starting point is 00:46:46 gonna be good enough it's never gonna be good enough for damon not for damon never good enough for damon it's what your parents always said oh you're not good enough for damon even your friends the other night one of your friends did you know did you know isaac pulled me aside and he said he whispered he got so close to my ear he he goes, you'll never be good enough for Damon.

I just kind of really need to get in there. I just don't want anyone to see me cry. So if you don't really need to go in there I just don't want anyone to see me cry so if you if you don't really need to go could I go in

Clearly, they had taken many more classes than me, but they were patient and willing to teach me and lead me. Amazing energy and good people all around.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Can't wait to go back. And a one, two, three, one, two, three, five, six, seven, five, six, seven, eight. Sorry, can we stop? Because you kind of just tore me apart personally, not even about the dancing. And it's hard for me to come back from that and go straight into the dancing, Daniela. Okay, all right. I'm so sorry, class.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Sometimes with our newbies, they don't know how things work around here. Oh my God, man. How many times? Are you new here? Yes, it's my first class. All right, Martin, what would you like to go over? I gave you some quite honestly,
Starting point is 00:56:49 some amazing constructive criticism as I have to everyone else in this class. And now you are making everyone lose out on precious time on their toes. For what? I just would appreciate dancing notes because I came here for a dancing class, but you said that I don't have style. That is a dancing note.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That is. Okay, go on. She said you didn't have fashion sense. There's a difference, asshole. How am I an asshole? That's rude. Also, fashion sense, like, I think I dress fine. I wear plain things. You do not. You do not. Plain tees
Starting point is 00:57:24 and jeans. What's wrong with that matthew my god what year is it 2011 you're basic honey if you really want to be a dancer what is this you need to have flair you need to have style and i can tell in your dancing if i could even call it that if i can even stoop so low i thought i was doing pretty good at the dancing you have the steps but you don't have the style. Now, are we done? Can we move on? We have other things to do.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Fine, fine, fine. Thank God. Okay, and five, six, seven, eight. Spin, spin, under and to the right. Matthew, for the love of God. What? There's no way. I did the same thing.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I did the same thing as Skylar. Matthew, listen. You don't love your mother enough. You don't love your mother enough You don't call her enough You don't think about her enough When was the last time you sent your mother a text even It was like two weeks ago But yeah that's fine I feel like it's
Starting point is 00:58:17 Oh my god Leon How about you give it a try You are one of our best dancers in the class i know you can give it to him on a silver platter darling go ahead miss right you are short and i'm 5 10 that's like not that short come on you can do better than that don't embarrass me yeah um you are um loud you are loud and um our teacher does a wonderful job does a wonderful job week in week out stop it and you you don't appreciate her i have been i have time on my toes etched out every single week. And it is people like you, short, loud people like you,
Starting point is 00:59:07 who don't appreciate the... This is not constructive feedback, by the way. He's just accosting me now. Leon, this isn't like you. This isn't the fire, the vitriol I know you have inside you. I see it in your dancing. What's happening? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I'm sorry. Why don't you go outside? Why don't you go with... Why don't we go with the beginners and just take a second? Oh, no. Please, please, miss don't you go outside? Why don't you go with, why don't we go with the beginners and just take a second, okay? Oh no, please, please, miss, don't make me, please don't make me. Just, you know what?
Starting point is 00:59:31 I know you'll learn your lesson in no time. Just go, go out there three or four weeks, take your time with the beginners so you can come back when you're done. Such a loud, echoey, Cuban heel foot break going through everything. Clack, clack. That was super harsh.
Starting point is 00:59:45 This is also my first class and I guess this is the second level. Yes. You got past through the door. Oh, sorry. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm here for the kind of casual class.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Am I in the right place? I'm sorry. I need to get the PR people on the phone because people are not advertising this class correctly. This is a beginner class, but my God, this is the most serious dancing you'll ever do in your life. Now, are you ready to commit to that? I don't think you're ready, man. She's kind of
Starting point is 01:00:18 pulled me apart physically. Talked about my familial relations. You kind of want to get out of here. I want my money. That's pretty cool, man. No way. Can you do me? Can you break me down? Well, let me see some of your steps first.
Starting point is 01:00:35 And five, six, seven. He takes one step forward to just even get to the dance floor. All right, I know everything I need to know. I know everything I need to know. I know everything I need to know. When you approach a romantic relationship, you expect it to be, one would hope it was 50-50, but no. You only give 20%. And that's why your partners never show up for you
Starting point is 01:00:58 because they always think, I'm pulling too much weight. I'm pulling too much weight. You need to give more. And I see that in your dance. I see that you are not a generous lover. I see that you're not a generous partner. I see all of that in just in the way you are on the tips of your toes to the bottom of your heel.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Now, was that too hard for you looking at Matthew? Oh, was that too hard? Was that too rough? Or can you take it like a real dancer? In one thing, just rips off all of his clothes to reveal a perfect
Starting point is 01:01:30 like spangly jumpsuit underneath. I'm ready. Yes. What is this? That's the kind of gumption we need. That's not gumption.
Starting point is 01:01:40 That's just he wore two outfits. Mr. Carmichael is polishing glasses at the bar just nods slightly bar cart in the studio he looks up I'm doing pretty well huh Gabriel straight from hell all right should we do our last segment? Oh, let's do it.
Starting point is 01:02:10 This should be all we want. Ed, what's been shaking you? What's on your mind? What have you been consuming, thinking about? Well, I was going to talk about Drive to Survive, but I know you guys uh you guys are crazy on this right jeff is i don't know what you're talking about i love drive to survive have you been talking have you been talking about this recently
Starting point is 01:02:36 i think i talked about it vaguely on the show like last week yeah yeah yeah oh my god but well there's there's that but there's also uh Abba Gold I've been getting back into Abba in a big way and Abba Gold is back
Starting point is 01:02:51 because you think all the like um like compilation albums have a bit of a bad rap you think oh you're not a real fan but if you put on Abba Gold
Starting point is 01:02:59 anytime mooning mooning nooning night mooning nooning night baby you're gonna have a great there's not one duffer on it they're all great songs to mooning, mooning, nooning night. Mooning, nooning night, baby. You're going to have a great, there's not one duffer on it.
Starting point is 01:03:09 They're all great songs. No. Yeah. That is, I mean, immediately your mood is, you are a different person. It's like some weird, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:17 some weird like hallucinogen. It just sets you on a whole different plane. Absolutely. Oh, I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled. Oh my God. My roommate's throwing a
Starting point is 01:03:27 Mamma Mia themed party for Memorial Day. So I need to get a big flowy shirt. If you guys have any flowy. Holy shit. Apropos of nothing.
Starting point is 01:03:39 No, Abba. No, I know. Just you had a bar. Jeffrey, by the way. So quietly. No, I know. Just you at a bar. I'm Jeffrey, by the way. Talking so quietly. Music is so loud. So nice. Where'd you get this shirt, by the way?
Starting point is 01:03:53 It's not really flowy. Get off me, man. Abercrombie and Fitch. Get off of me, man. Hell yeah. Is that on vinyl? No, just Spotify. Don't yell.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Just listen to it. For sure, yeah. But just like every... Vu Le Vu, that's the big one. Oh, Vu Le Vu is sexy. Yeah, going. Vu Le Vu is... Because also I'm thinking of like Vu Le Vu from the movie
Starting point is 01:04:17 and it's like Vu Le Vu, everyone's... You've got to think about it from the movie. Vu Le Vu and then everyone's fucking to that song in the movie. You know they're all getting down to Vulevu. To the rhythm. Everyone's swinging to Vulevu and not in the dance sense. That too. That's really good.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Especially because most of them are related in that movie. Well, at least three of them are. Love that. Riley, what about you? What's been shaking you? So I am not necessarily a marvel person there are like some things some films some pieces of media and marvel that i do enjoy daniel always gets frustrated with me because he's just like you do like certain marvel things so don't cut it out
Starting point is 01:04:57 right um but so elizabeth and our friend jay Jay are really caught up today. There's a new one coming out tonight on Moon Knight, the new series with Oscar Isaac. And because they're coming over tonight to watch the second to last episode, they're like, oh, Daniel, you should you should get caught up so you can watch with us. And Daniel the other day last night, he's like, do you want to watch with me? I'm like, not particularly. I have no idea what it's about. I'm like, not particularly. But then I'm like, oh, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:05:25 I don't want to watch TV in our room on my laptop while you're watching that. That's fucking dumb. And so I watch with him. This is after we started Abbott Elementary. I know we're a little bit late. I fucking love it. It's amazing. But we started Moon Knight.
Starting point is 01:05:39 We watched two episodes, and I went long-winded way. Jeff knows what's coming. Long-winded, I'm saying new celeb crush alert. Oh, my God. New celeb crush alert. On the moon. Crush of the week is the moon. Crush of the week is Oscar Isaac.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Crush of the week. He's got to be. They're always like obviously attractive people too. It's like everybody likes these people. Can I just say that Oscar Isaac is fine. Is anybody else getting a Timothee thing? Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Everyone. So yeah. So Oscar Isaac if you're listening He's a He's a very very sexy boy. He is He is also just so fucking talented I mean my god that's kind of what shook me it depends
Starting point is 01:06:33 on what my hair looks like by October I don't want to cut it unless I have to but I kind of want to be Oscar Isaac eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos that's good oh the only other quick thing is it's Daniel's birthday tomorrow and for his birthday this weekend
Starting point is 01:06:49 we're going to the aquarium. And I can't wait. I'm so excited to see a fish. To see a fish. I haven't been to the Long Beach Aquarium since I was like nine. A wee lass I believe. A wee lass.
Starting point is 01:07:05 A twee lass. I was really into Zooey Deschanel. Yeah, so can't wait for the aquarium. And happy birthday, Daniel. This is ours. It'll be a week later, but yeah. Love that. You at the getting your ticket, about to go to the,
Starting point is 01:07:19 I'm really looking forward to seeing a fish. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, it's just through there. They're like, here's our giant tank in the lobby. I'm like, oh! No way! Looks exactly like Oscar Isaac. I must have it.
Starting point is 01:07:37 How much for the fish? Sorry. Oh, they're not for sale. This isn't a pet shop. There's a New Girl episode where Schmidt tries to buy a fish and it's so funny. Gimme it! Gimme it. No. Jeffrey, shaking you a fish and it's so funny. Give me it. Give me it. Jeffrey, shaking you?
Starting point is 01:07:47 What is it? What's been shaking me has been shaking knees. And I've had such earth shattering self-pleasure sessions. God damn it. No, I'll just do a real one, honestly. Don't encourage him. Let's tell the story. There's a story to be told. I'll just do a real one honestly let's don't encourage him let's tell the story there's a story to be told
Starting point is 01:08:08 there's always a story to be told no I guess this is kind of weird but last week was called X week for me and a lot of people that I know I had like two or three friends have ex partners reach out to them to like get coffee or get closure
Starting point is 01:08:24 or give them their things back one of my friends two ex-partners reach out to them to get coffee or get closure or give them their things back. One of my friends, two of her exes reached out specifically. And then I had my ex reach out to me and just got coffee with her this morning. Went great. She's doing well. But literally it was like total, I think at least eight exes reached out to me or people that i knew uh also my ex girlfriend sent or my roommate got my ex-girlfriend to send in a call-in thing for the head gum podcast 100th episode call-in thing wow no so it's actually my high school sweetheart oh my god for
Starting point is 01:08:57 two and a half minutes so i was like this is weird also i had my ex texted me to get coffee today and then i ran into her at a bar on Friday. And we hadn't seen each other in two years. Like, you know, you'd think we would have run into each other. So it was just like ex week continued. And I think hopefully it's over now. Do you think it's something about this time of year, the changing of the seasons to people?
Starting point is 01:09:19 Is it a Randy time? It's getting warmer out. People are showing more skin on the streets you know how it goes yeah my the warmer it gets the more my roundies kind of tend to show yeah yeah yeah it's all your exes getting on stage doing a bit and facing their fears which is me you
Starting point is 01:09:42 giving them the X. Ryan Seacrest. No, all my... They're all lovely people. But it was just bizarre. That's wild. It was like eight people. Like, what? That would give me so much anxiety.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Woo! Yeah. That's got something to do with the moons or Jupiter rising or something, right? It's something to do with Moon Knight, for sure. It was like Fleet Week, but for exes. It's something to do with Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight, I think, at the end of the day. He's one of your exes in the aquarium.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I'm pretty sure that one is, what's that called? I think that's called Oscar Isaac, I think. Yeah, I mean, it has to be. It has to be. Thank you so much. thank you so much. Thank you so much. This was such a treat. Anything else you'd like to plug?
