Hi, it's Julia Louis Dreyfus here, and I can't wait for you to hear our new episode of Wiser Than Me with Cindy Lopper on Amazon Music. Cindy may be a girl who just wants to have fun, but for 40 years she has brought playfulness and a dash of punk to some serious activism. We talk about her lifelong LGBTQ plus advocacy, her astonishing music career, and pick up a whole lot of wisdom along the way. Listen now only on Amazon Music. included with Prime. Hey friends, it's Lauren here. I wanted to let you know that Mary Holland and I will be hitting the road, doing improv,

in a city near you, possibly in your city, very soon. And we are going to be hitting up Austin, Texas first. In April, on April 18th, we will be part of the Moon Tower Comedy Festival. And we will be performing at the state theater. So please get your tickets. April 18th, Austin, Texas, be there, or be square. Love ya. Freedom!

Should we release a karaoke track of the Freedom theme? Yeah, probably. For people to sing it in karaoke? So isn't it already that, like, you just sing over the words anyway? Yeah, but you want to be the only voice. You don't want us. You want you and your two other friends to be doing it. Okay, let's release it as a shirt.

That's a great idea. Say it's a karaoke track and we do it for those karaoke. machines, you know, where there has to be a video, you know, of people walking on the beach or something while you see the words light up in purple. Japanese people taking off masks and tuxedos. But we famously won't film ourselves, so what would be up there? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What do you think we should record for that, you know, what kind of? Well, like a pirandello type clown. Yes. You know. Pyrandello type clown. Staring at the sun. I'm going to Google what that means. Eyes start to bleed.

Yeah, probably. Something like that. Yeah, we cut to a dog running on a treadmill. Now, this is a 16-second track. Yeah. Is this, wait, what's up here in Delaware? What? Oh, okay.

Oh, Lauren. No, that's not right. Attches to ashes. It's not like this. Funk to funky. We know Major Tom's a junkie. Yeah. Oh, that's initially what I pictured.

Look up. The sort of black dots and lines going through the eyes. Look up David Bowie. Clown. Yeah, look up David Bowie clown and see if anyone is, like, insulting him online. Like, what a clown, first of all. That would be really cool. This clown.

This clown. Wow, this is a really cool picture. Did you remember where David Bowie talk about watching, he's a kid who's watching David Bowie on SNL? And his dad. Great performance with Clowney. This was a story about how quickly his dad could ruin things. that his dad just walking through the room, glances at the TV, he goes,

what's this, the goddamn asshole show? Like on his way from one room to another. Thanks so much. Just being one second of tape. For making my feelings feel so small. What's this the goddamn asshole show? How do we stay away from doing that to our children? I guess don't do it.

Don't do that shit? Yeah. You know what not to do. Remain curious. Yes, exactly. You remain curious. I feel like I am. You're going to be one of those dads in the parking lot at some fucking concert you don't want to go to?

I'm going to be performing the concert. And my daughter's going to be watching me going, yeah, dad, we love it. Yeah, dad, you're just like Taylor Swift. You're so cool as her. You're equal in my eyes. Are you filming me? Don't do a selfie. Don't film me.

I'm filming you. I'm filming you. For our Instagram. Did you see Mono and Betsy do that? Mm-mm. What? They would pretend to be like two. Just like.

assholes and they would be holding their phones each other like, don't film me, I'm filming you. Don't film me. I'm filming you. That's funny. Wait, what? Oh, we were talking about David Bowie. David Bowie and parenting and how not to do it and how to be curious. And I was talking about how I'm going to be performing on stage.

I have a K-pop Demon Hunter's Update. Oh, oh. This is insane because what do you know that we don't know? How long ago did we start this show? Probably nine years. Well, it's a very personal update. Nine years or so ago, eight years a show ago, we've been asking you for K-pop Demon Hunter

since the beginning of the show. And I didn't have anything. Any updates on it. Then when we saw the movie was going to be released, we're like, he finally has to have an update now. And you were like, well, I got scooped. Well. Because you were on the K-pop Demon Hunter's beat for so long.

And we were like, this guy can't possibly be scooped. And then they just release the movie. But my update is this. I have seen K-pop Demon Hunters finally. Wow. Yes. This is huge news. And guess what?

It's very enjoyable. Isn't it wonderful? I listen to the music every day, not by choice, but I do enjoy it. And I'm always singing along. But did you hear about these mammies in Northern Ireland who there was this K-pop concert that was advertised that sort of mentioned K-pop demon hunters? But they thought this was a K-pop demon hunter show. Oh, no. But it was just a K-pop concert.

Right. That was like in the style of K-pop demon Yeah, I think they did the songs from K-B-B-B-en-Zam. But they also did all these other songs. But they thought the cartoons were going to show up and do it? I don't know what they thought. I think they thought this was going to be like a kid's show. And it was just a concert.

And so there were a lot of, they were getting on TikTok and like, well, they swindled us. We fell for the Willy Wonka thing. And now they swindled us again. Oh, that Willy Wonka thing was really crushing. It's wonderful that that happened. Yeah. was amazing. Sometimes, sometimes you have to let a disaster like that happen for the greater good.

Have I told you about the Friends Museum? No. This was a funny. It was like a thing, well, anyway, in New York there was like, you know, they do like pop-ups. It's similar to the Willie Wonka thing, I guess, where it's like an experience. Yeah. I, my friend was invited to it. We were going to go and then we couldn't and whatever. And then we like looked at it online later. and it was so funny because I thought it was going to be some like sort of cool thing. Like they recreate the sets or something and you could go take a picture. Like I don't know. How cool did you think?

Well, not that cool, but I thought it was going to be like sort of meaningful in some way. Well, didn't they do one with full house or something? Or I forget. They were saved by the bell pop up. That was really awesome. And those guys make like cool restaurants that are like themed. Whatever. That's super cool.

This was like we thought maybe there was some, the emails seemed like kind of legitimate. Was it they just had an autumn in there? It was like, it was like adjacent. Like everything was adjacent. Like it was like, we looked online later. We never actually went. But it was like a wig on a mannequin stand. That was like the Rachel haircut.

But she didn't wear a wig. So it's not like she had a, it's her wig. And just get a person give her the haircut and make her sand. I mean, it's just not what are we looking at? You know, it should just be pictures of the cast or something. But then like there was like a chair, but it's not the chair. You know, it's just kind of things that were. Like the chair?

Yeah, like looked like things like the chair. I mean, just things that looked like things from the show. But we were cracking up because we almost went out of our way to go to it. And then we were like, this would have been so lame. You would have fun, though, because you guys have fun and where you go. That is true. That is true. That's really true.

And it's sweet and nice. That's very true. Meanwhile, I would be stewing. I don't know. Maybe they've made it better. I have to apologize for how bad my Northern Ireland accent was. Oh, I didn't care. I wasn't prepared.

Well, I know some people do. And you know what? I care. I care or something like that. You know what? we should pause the podcast anytime you think, you know what, I should be doing an accent with this joke I'm making. We'll shut down for a couple of days.

You work on the accent. I don't need a couple of days. Okay, I want to say they seem to have added like full sets. They've added some full sets that I don't believe we're there when we were in flight. But this is still, yeah. They're like, I dream of Jeannie. By the way, I was mentioning on our last episode about these, the Instagram algorithm I have now, which is people complaining about things or people in the middle of

controversies. And the one about the baby shower, I did investigate a little bit of that one. Okay. And this company, they sent them, uh, pictures that they wanted blown up into posters. And they described the types of decorations that they wanted. And when they walked in, all there was was like a couple of red drapes, no pictures. And then they were, uh, painting furniture while all the guests were there. Painting furniture. Like into like, you know, red, you know, reds and, you know, reds and Valentine colors and stuff. And they're like, hey, can you help out with this?

And guests are saying, no, you shouldn't be doing this while if we're having a party. They tried to talk. I like how stressful that sounds. Boy, I'm having a lot of fun, painting this chair. Anyone could do it. Nah, you probably couldn't. Well, thank you for that update.

Yeah, no problem. I always enjoy giving an update the same way that you gave your K-pop Demon Hunter's update. Finally. Yeah. Oh, finally. My God. Yeah. Are you so happy? I am so happy. And now I can join the conversation. Nominated for awards and whatnot. I know, good for them. Oscars. Yeah, they've already probably won the Oscar. There's something about when you see a really, when you see a really good animated movie that's, I don't know why it's so, I mean, it's magical because of what people can do with artistic expression. But it's also like, you get a different feeling than when you see. see just a good live action movie.

Yeah. Like there's something weirdly satisfying about it. Well, like, it's amazing. And so many people have to come together to make each section of what, every moment. When we did Shark Tale, I think we had a staff of like seven people that put that movie together. And it was like so many people. Now, tell us about what your role was on Shark Tank. Yes.

You don't care. No, I do because I feel like it's like you did like additional dialogue or something. but what does that mean? I worked for the company for... Well, because it sounds more involved when you're talking about it now. Yes, I work for the company for a number of years. Okay. What company?

DreamWorks Animation. Oh, okay. So you were like doing that movie for that long? Now this is a division of DreamWorks SKG. Yeah, I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. Where I believe Spielberg's first movie he made for them was Amistad.

Oh, really? Yeah. Give us three. But I work for the company for three or four years doing multiple projects. The first one I was hired to do was Shark Tale 2. And SharkTale 1 was a year away from coming out. And they were like, oh, they already were banking on it. They were already banking on it being, having a sequel. So, uh, myself and one of the directors of Sharktail and another person, we all. To interrupt you for a moment. You kind of do have to think that because animation takes so many

years. Yes. It takes three years. Better to have it, not need it. Then need it not. Yes. So they were starting the process one year into, uh, before SharkTale came out so that two years afterwards, the sequel would be ready. Meanwhile, the first one was so disjointed and needed so much work that they finally were like, can you pause number two and just come into one? What a bad feeling. And work on it. So then I worked on that for a year, prepping for it to come out and then delivered SharkTale 2.

And by the time we delivered the script, they knew they were not going to. to make the sequel and then worked on Puss and Boots for a while, amongst a few other things. So I was there for a good number of years. Isn't that Puss in Boots? I think it's Puss and or boots. I think it's Puss and boots. I think the boots are the remarkable thing. Puss in boots.

No, it's Puss and Puss in, like, hey, puss is enough. And then and boots? Puss in boots. You're not stressing boots. It's Puss in boots. I also think it's a verb, Pussing. Well, like, so the common thing is. Puss in boots.

Oh, man, I was pussing. I was pussing boots last night. Oh, what am I up to, same old same, oh, I'm pussing boots and bootfuss. Honestly, kind of amazing that that character, you know, it's an old character. Yeah. And then they're just like, yeah, it's still puss and boots. Yeah, but it's puss in boots. Well, I get that it's interesting.

that he's wearing boots. You're saying you're not you're not quibbling over the words. No, but everyone. No, here's what it is. Paul. Everyone's in boots. So pusses and boots. Look, I wear boots.

You wear boots. We all wear boots. Puss in boots. He's in boots. Look. You get some boots. Everyone. Yes.

Yes. I grant you that everyone wears boots. But it's Puss in boots. It's his version. Yeah. Pusses in boots. But he, but he, you guys,

does he say, does he say his name is pus? his name is Puss? I think he's a name. Puss in Boots. This is the kind of thing that I knew back then, but I could not tell you now. But in the movie, he just is Puss and Boots. I see. I never ended up seeing the completed.

I recall auditioning for the Puss and Boots cartoon. Cartoon. I did not see the first one, but I saw the stupier one alive. Yeah. The only part I know how to play. The one human character. Puss is like, Puss is like,

Dumbest Woman Alive and Boots is coming here. You seem very stupid. Tell me, how stupid are you? Her boots are on the wrong feet. On a scale of boots to puss. How stupid are you? Half of a puss? We saw the second one, though, where he grapples with his fear of death.

It was really good. Speaking of fear of... Hey, bro some boots is funny. Fear of death, I've never seen cars two or three until the other day because Emmy really likes Guido and cars. Oh, I've never seen two or three either. Guido? I don't know about this. Is it a Ferrari?

They are Italian race car He and the other Yes they are Which you know When we went to Disneyland Recently there's a whole Ride where they're like

Hey welcome to the thing And I was like a little like I don't know Do we have another 10 years on this Carsland is a great area It's a great area But so we watch A gray area?

A gray area Carland is a gray area For me it's like I'm willing to go into it It's like one of my favorite neighborhoods I don't want to be photographed Ha My favorite neighborhoods in L.A.

It's Carsland. Probably Frontierland. Frontierland. Yeah, we just moved from... Silver Lake. Brentwood to Carsland. My neighbor Lightning the Queen.

A real culture shock. Yeah. There's just... It's because the cars can talk. Okay. And where I'm from, they can't. They won't let you get in them. By the way, my theory on cars universe...

You've been teasing this for a long time. He's finally going to say it and you're interrupting. I think this is something that. we've, this is something that is, you know, everyone talks about like, what is this world?

It's a crazy universe where cars are sentient and there are no humans driving them. I actually was watching this time going, oh, I understand the cars are avatars for humans. And they're experiencing human things. And these are the cars that the humans who are experiencing all these things are driving. And they're just, we're seeing them as cars.

but humans are undergoing all of these things. I thought that it would be great if Disney wanted to do a Lion King style live action version of cars, but with humans and call it humans. Wow. What? And there's no cars in it. There's no cars in it, but they're running around the track as fast as they can. One car's dragging another car. Yep.

Because he needs help. One human gets in another human in order to transport themselves. That could be interesting. It could be interesting. It could be. I could argue most things could be interesting. Yeah. That's a good point.

But they're not. But Carsts too is crazy. I just want to. Cars too is crazy. Why is it so crazy? It's it does away with Owen Wilson's character pretty much like he stays at home. Because he did away with wanting to be involved? No, I think he wanted to be involved.

It just, they were like, let's center this on Mator, the Larry the Cable guy character. He goes off and has a James Bond adventure where cars are shooting at other cars and killing them. With guns? Yes. How does that work? I don't know. The bullets are just coming out of the cars? Anytime that they would say, like, we just got a letter from, you know, whoever, I would say, yeah, it wrote it with its tires.

You know, it's like, none of it makes any sense. Of course. But I just thought it was a curious thing from a, like, whole. No, they can write with their tongue, like a person tying a chair. You put like a pen and paper inside the hood of a car. They do have teeth. It's like full, full amount. Dear sir.

Or madam. Or car. Dear sir, madam or car. Probably car. Considering where we are. If past is prologue, I bet you're a couple. So how many cars? How many cars do you have?

Oh, by the way, there are. Just cut this shit. How many cars? There are child cards. They established that because Paul Newman passed away in between one and two. Rip. They have, he is dead.

So respectful. Rip! I don't like when people write RIP online. Because I think it sounds like Rip. I think it feels a little too casual. You go rip. You can't write rest in peace.

Yeah, just like guys. It's like what you put on an old headstone in a cartoon. Yeah, we're not trying to save time when we're grieving. This is a spirit Halloween. Let's write rest in peace. Yeah. Let's. You got the.

Characters. Yeah. What were we talking about? Cars? How many cars do you? Oh, so Paul Newman is dead in between one and two. And so the character, no, the character is dead. Yes.

And so they established the cars die. Right. Well, if that happens in real life. Does he die in the movie? He dies off screen in between one. They would have had him back. They're going to show him pass away. Yeah.

Who knows, though? They get shown him break down by the side of the road and go, ugh. They told me crushing with you. But so cars can die, but then they, and then they show baby cars. Do, do, do, do. Sorry. So are the cars?

So it's not like a smart car? But then they're having their wheels taken off all the time and put back on. Put me in the writer's room. Lawrence said like a smart car. And then I looked over to this biggest smile on her face looking at me like, uh. Thoughts. That's about the size of a baby car. But they are writing.

Compared to a grand teeton? Yeah. Yeah. The famous car. They're using their... Yeah, I drive a grant teetan. Using their tires as hands. Tires is hands.

All the time. Tires his hands. They're like picking things up and stuff? They're sort of... Yeah, they're picking up phones and stuff. There are phones. Phones. Yeah.

They don't have onboard? No, they're talking about how they own phones. And then they also they can have like a FaceTime conversation with someone. I hate this. Anyway, but so they're using their tires to do a bunch of. stuff, but then they get their tires changed constantly. So they're not part of their actual body. Right.

So they're prosthetics. Right. So they're prosthetics. But then are they being constructed? Because they talk about being out of the factory. It leads me to believe that these baby cars are constructed not by sex, but by, by autonomous machines. It leads you to believe that the cars didn't have sex.

Yes. The cars are not having sex, that they are adopting these children who are being made. And there are these cars, do they grow? So they're sexless? We don't see a car. You're telling me these cars don't have sex. Not in the movies I've seen in the fan fiction I've been writing, yes. Well, it's not hard to make them have sex.

Mm-hmm. You just drive one on top of the other. Like funny cars. I don't know what that is. You don't know about nitro burning funny cars? No, I don't. Oh, they're very exciting. We have to go to a nitro burning funny car show.

We sim together. Okay. And record an episode. Why don't we do it this Sunday? Sunday, Sunday. So the cars, the baby cars grow? No, we never see them in real time grow because that would take a number of years. And the movies are only two hours.

Do we see the same cars as a child later as an adult car? Not in the sequels or anything like that. And mostly... They never show a flashback of Lightning McQueen when he was a baby. I would love that. It's kind of like we get that in a lot of movies. Yeah, I would love that. Yeah, why wouldn't they have it in cars?

If we see flashbacks of Lightning McQueen as a baby and 12 years of slave. Finding Dory. Why wouldn't we see it in the cars? Finding Dory, we get to see her when she was a baby. Yeah. And Lightning McQueen underwater as a baby. And Fast and Furious, we get to see Vin Diesel's son play himself in a flashback.

So yeah, why wouldn't there be a tiny Lightning Queen? If this, then that. They had a character that was Vin Diesel's son? No, Vin Diesel's son plays Vin Diesel's character. There's be Finn Diesel. Finn Diesel. That's in the Finding Door. universe. Yes, that's right. Finn Diesel, the movie star. Anyway, this is all stuff I was thinking

but the most curious of it all was, why is this second Cars movie about Michael Kane playing a car spy and taking Mater under his wing and cars are shooting at each other and killing each other. It's very weird. That's very different. That's very different. Michael Kind. And then there were also, were there planes movies? Yes, there is a planes movie, yeah. Just the one. Oh, I haven't seen that either. I think my kids might not be drawn immediately to the what I think my kids

if I think my kids might not be drawn to the cars planes as humans although maybe they would because there's a show on Netflix called Trash Truck that they love that's the thing I feel like kids it's just called Trash Truck and Gigi says Trash Truck and Gigi says

trash truck and it's like catch cap what is the trash truck you're in the trash truck from what I've gathered the trash truck is just a friend in the community you watch it so much I don't I don't watch it that much you have to understand I turn off what I don't consume that's right because I can't be watching it all and consuming Netflix you put on your headphones I go to my other world yes you put on a sleep mask and I just let the cards fall gone take me away. But it's the trash truck is a friend of the community and he's, you know, I should say so.

There's a raccoon who's his buddy and there's some other characters and he'll get into he was, I piped into the room, peaked in. Yep. He was riding a whale underwater at one point. I mean, it's a the truck can, he can do anything. That's the thing. We all could be riding whales under water. It's a pretty gentle, quiet kind of show.

It's kind of nice. So he left a bunch of trash in the ocean? Presumably some of his detritus. Like it trails out, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can only. I mean, all of us are leaving behind flakes of skin and hair everywhere we go. You love to bring that up.

I won't do it. Nope. Scott swabs for DNA, Eric, can we leave? I've trained. He's trying to frame this for many murders. All right, we have to take a break. Picture this. It's late. You're in the midst of an online shopping spree, and you find the perfect product you've been searching for.

Anyway, I'm trying to keep fewer things in my closet, but better things. You know, pieces that are well made, easy to wear all the time, and that's why I keep coming back to Quince. That's why.

We actually got clothes for our daughter and she loves the dress that she's worn it now two days out of the last three.

We washed it in between. Trust me. We're constantly doing laundry. But she loves this particular dress at Quince. And I was like, wow, where'd she get this dress? I looked in the back and I should have known. There's that tag. Should have.

Yeah. So after years of overpaying, dealing with bogus fees and these quote unquote free perks that actually cost more, I finally just, I gave up. Not on life. I gave up and I switched to Mint Mobile. I'm so glad because I was watching you do all those things and it was tearing my heart out. Yeah.

We're really glad that you're here because we have been doing the show waiting for people to show up. It's been awkward, kind of just saying all this stuff to each other. It got so awkward that I said the word, awkward and then I was like random and Kyle what did you say?

Huh? I was in my own little world. Don't be there. We need you here. On Earth one? Yeah. They might need him there. Yeah, that's true.

Let's talk about your own little world. Okay. What's it like? Is it like our earth? Come along with me to my little corner of the world. Is that friendly minutes? Dream a little dream.

It's Yola Tango. In my little corner of the world. Yes. Is that what it means? Yoletango means is miserable. Yes, Yoletango in Spanish is what Le Miz is in French. Does Les Miserables truly mean the miserable? The Miserables, maybe?

Is that? Like a bunch of miserable people? I don't know. The Miserables. I mean, they seem, look, honestly, most of them seem sad all the time. Cosette is like... No, they're very sad. That's what makes me think.

That's the name. Yeah. The literal translation. Is there ever any... happiness with anyone? Because it seems like everyone dies and then... Oh, the master of the house people. They're like...

Oh, they love it. They love walking around singing that fucking song. I'm a wacky guy. I'm a wacky guy. This is what I do. Then I go away. You remember me. I only get one number.

So I got to make it count. Being super wacky. Being super wacky. Are you a lay miss person, Lauren? Yeah, I'm having a flashback to when we did a production of laymise when I was in fifth grade and a... You did it in the fifth grade. Did anyone understand? A Northwestern student was guiding us through it at my elementary school as like a project for his school, probably.

How old was this person? Probably 20. Yeah. And I never knew what was going on. I think it was fourth and fifth graders and I was in fourth grade. And I never knew what was going on. I didn't, of course, understand anything. And I think I was like a townsperson.

And I often was like, am I supposed to be out there? I'm supposed to be out there? They're singing, do you hear the people sing? I think you're one of the people. I don't know how long we did, how long they were production we did? Because that show is asking me quite long. If I get me sing? Yeah, I don't think that fourth and fifth graders would necessarily understand.

I'm sure we did like a 20 minute version. I remember Master of the House being performed. And they brought the House down. Yeah. Brought the Master of the House down. I think it would be really cute to see little kids doing lay miss. It could be pretty funny. Pretending to starve.

I got tricked by an AI video of... Oh, Paul, not you. You're an AI video? At 2 PFT. I got tricked by one. Into being one? No. Oh, I mean, when AI videos trick you,

they trick you into swapping places. Oh, this wasn't one of those. Oh, okay. No, no, that has happened to me, of course. Oh, okay. Yes. And that's why my hand is all fucked up. it was two kids doing like a school play version of the Pine Barron's episode of The Sopranos.

That's funny. It was really funny. I was like, what the fuck is this? Were they cursing to? Oh, it's AI. They were not cursing, but they, it's just this brief clip. And it was, I mean, it looks. To be honest, I forgot that you were saying it was an AI video at the start of this.

And so when you went into the kids doing the thing, I was like, that's adorable. And I loved it. And I was like, that's adorcable. And I want to make it a show. Yes. You both went through what I went through because I also thought that too. It was adorable. And you want to make a show.

You don't want to make a show. Yeah. I'd be great to make a show about like a bunch of guys living apart when there's a new girl. And she's adorable. Yeah. That's where I was going because that's where I got the idea. I wanted one of the guys to leave after half an hour. Yeah.

Leave after half an hour. And then decide he wanted to come. He wants to come back. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is that okay? Yeah.

Is that okay with you? Do you know, I've never seen a full episode of New Girl. I think I saw the Prince one. I've seen some, I think. There's Prince in it? Prince's in it. What? Yes.

That's wild. That's vaguely familiar to me. And no one could believe that he wanted to be on the show. He was like a fan, right? I think he was a fan and reached out and he did scenes with... Of all the TV shows that exist. And I've existed during Prince's life. I know. I love things like that.

That's what's funny. Like a weird eccentric guy who you don't know anything about. So, Paul, what's funny about it is that because it's not the most popular show necessarily or like, you know, there's so many different types of shows, Paul. So it's funny because it's like a really specific kind of signal. You tell me Prince never wanted to be on fucking home improvement. Paul, he might have wanted that, but he didn't have the opportunity. Why didn't he? Because he wasn't famous enough yet.

Are you? Lauren. In 1990, you think Prince was not famous enough yet? Guys, don't mansplain. Let me explain it in a manly way. Look at these muscles. No. Let me explain, little lady.

This is one year after bad days. Let me tell you something. You think he's not famous enough? He wasn't famous not to be on home improvement because I mean, that man was more famous than Prince. Yeah. They didn't even know what the concept of a prince was. No, I knew what he was.

Yeah. No, people would see him perform and go, who is that? Can we turn the channel? Fingerprints? What are you talking about? Yeah. His name's Prince. Yeah.

Yeah. That's not a bad name for a musician. Fingerprints. Fingerprints? Mm-hmm. And he's always doing the Sufi? A musician or a detective. Jesus Christ.

I'm Detective fingerprints. Fingerprints. Esquire. Yes, my first name's Finger. We did on The Neighborhood Listen, Brett. you remember because it was on one of your episodes maybe where Brett's character had written this procedural called evidently. Yes, very funny. Who worked in the evidence department.

And then we improvised a script reading. Evidently. Listen to that show. Listen to that show. It's really funny. Neighborhoodless is really funny. It's free. You're just some guy talking about it.

You don't even know anyone on it. That's right. That's right. Because they're weird people on there, but it's fun to listen to. K-Fabe. My name is Kay Fabe as far as you know. I'm a wrestler named K Fabe. I'm a wrestler named K Fabe.

Can I finish? Slamming this guy with a chair. Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? What did I text you guys? About you? Text us about the traders and we haven't seen the episode. Oh, yeah. I have to watch it tonight. But it contains someone saying, can I finish?

Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Oh, I can't watch it tonight because I'm going to the theater. What are you going to see? I'm seeing my friend in a play called Dad's Leg. I believe it's two women in a play, just two. I'm pretty sure. And I'm going to see it with my other friend.

But it doesn't pass the Bechdel test. Industry. Interesting. But it's just past the bestro. You know, this podcast has never passed the Bechal test. You don't talk about. Isn't that sad? But there's not another woman.

Yeah. It's true. Not one with a name. You're a pussy. I mean, there is another woman here, but she doesn't have a name. Could come back. loser. You think I've never heard that?

You think I've never heard that? That was your initial reaction because I had it confused. Let's cut out the last 20 minutes. No, we need it. Keep it in and extend it. That's what she said. God damn it.

God damn it. Welcome back. Welcome back. Keep it in and extended. But we're teasing a lot because he's going. Got us on the spot. No, we have him on the spot.

He came crawling back. Crawling back. That's what it should be called. On his hands and fucking knees. Not so mighty now. Talking shit. Yeah. It's funny when somebody says, I'm going to get out of this town.

And then they end up going back to the town. It's so funny. I know. There was a period of time where everyone was pitching that show of going back to their high school town after failing. Uh-huh. Great. It feels like it's still happening to this day. Yeah.

It does feel like it's still happening to this very day. To this day. Hey, it's a story that is relatable and people do it. Mm-hmm. People do it. People do it. They fail. They go back home.

They're mocked and ridiculed. And then they live out a life of quiet desperation. No, I think there's nobility in going back to your hometown and living with your parents. I agree. There's nobility in it. And what we want is both. Nobility. Nobility.

I like the way you move back. Nobility. I was just backing my hometown and I had a nice Luminalotti's deep dish. A nice Illuminati deep dish. Lumil nadis. Wow. Okay, the red strings are connecting. The red strings are connecting.

Red strings are connecting. Mm-hmm. You like my red strings? They're connecting. Hey, do you like my red strings? He's showing me the side of his thong. my whale tail It's so gross

That's disgusting Let me just put on my red strings I'll be right there Oh I meant to bring up Hold on my thong I'll be right there I meant to bring up something interesting about Someone's at the door

Hold on just put my thong on And that's what you're gonna answer Just answer in the thong yeah Can I help you I meant to bring up something interesting About parenting the other day Which I was trying to feel Which I stumbled across

Wow So we've been trying to figure out... You've been, like, doing parenting lately. I've been off and on. Yeah. Mainly off. I've been trying, you know, trying to figure out like, how do you teach the concept? First of all, how do you teach the concept of time?

We... Fuck. We bought a calendar and... Started there. Started there, but also was like... A year breaks down into months. A month breaks down into weeks. A week breaks down to days.

A days break down into hours. Hours break up with two minutes. Minutes. Minutes break down to three seconds. Seconds, nanoseconds. Nano seconds? You're on your own. I can't go that much smaller. Thank you.

You're in for a big surprise. Do you know what that is, Lauren? No. I don't know. You don't know? No. And I'm not even. Are you Lauren?

Yes. What if I said, get your ais to malls? It's Arnold Rortsmaker. That's the lady who his face opens up. Oh, I love that lady. Oh, that's one of my favorite effects. You're in for a big surprise. And then there's a big explosion, I think.

Like this. Wow. Terrifying. So we bought a calendar and we were trying to figure out like things that we wanted her to do that she's resistant to do. Like remember your birthdays. Yes, exactly. If you remember what my fucking birthday. No, so like she's, we're, you know, transitioning her.

She's been, you know, potty. She's potty trained for the most part. We don't need to share her business. Okay. But it's private. It is private. But we like trying to get her. Get over that last hurdle.

Trying to get her to feel good about it has been like a thing. So it's like, good luck. You get a stick. I don't feel good about it. I feel great whenever I use the toilet. Yeah. It's got, turning it into an. It's when I don't that I feel bad.

Yeah. Yeah. But you get a sticker if you brush your teeth and go potty. That's good. In the morning. What? And you know what? I need to get it.

I had a sticker. Yes. I had a sticker coin, but I do think a calendar with stickers is good. A calendar is good because now she's like sort of going like, what day is this? And then figuring out like, do I go to school on this day? And then she sees the days add up and she realizes time passes so quickly. Exactly. And then she starts going like, how many more of these do you have daddy?

and I'm like, to be honest, 10. Yeah, the mad most. Yeah. But, um, so, so that's one thing. But then, then we were trying to figure out like, how do we explain money to her, you know, or why we even have jobs and stuff like that? And so one day, how do we explain the gold standard? Yes. Yeah.

So one day we were out of orange juice and she's like, we need, we need more orange juice. And she was in this period where she didn't want to let me go. Like, I'd be like, I have to, I have to go, honey. You know, I have to go to work. and she'd be like, no, stay with me all day, you know. So I finally was like put it together. I was like, oh, no, I have to go down and work so we can buy more orange juice. Now, she's like, goodbye, asshole.

And so then when I came up at the end of the day, I was like, I think I met my quota. I think we can get orange juice tonight. Yeah, I try to explain it with like if she like breaks something of mine. Then I'm like, well, that, you know, this thing costs money. and I work my job so I can get money to buy stuff. Like all this stuff we have in our house is like, you know, it didn't just get here. Like we had to go out and get it.

And so I talked to Janie. So why don't you curb your shopaholic? If she drops a glass or like, things cost money. And I go to work to make that money. That's right. Yeah. But yeah, I think she sort of understands it, although in terms of like knowing what job this is,

she's just like, did you have fun with your friends? friends? Well, that's pretty much it, isn't it? Yeah. So when she heard you guys were coming over, she was like, I want to see Lauren and Paul. We said absolutely not. You will do nothing of the sort. Fine.

Why do you keep her for money? I don't want you to see her because I'm worried that you're a Medusa. Now, Scott, wouldn't you have been turned to Staun by now? Yeah, but I have anti-Medusa spray that I spray on myself every time we do a show. And you do just look at me through that shield. The reflection. a la Harry Hamlin. A la Harry Hamlin.

Mr. Lisa Rina. What's he doing with the shield? Mr. Lee. He played Perseus. Perseus? I think so. In Clash of the Titans. Clash of the Tatans.

Starring Lawrence Olivier. And a robot owl named Bibo. Three nude scenes that my teacher had to fast forward through. Well, they could have junior scenes. That's pretty crazy to let that even happen. I have told you my story of that movie, which is we went to see it once. The projectionist had not shown up. Shame one.

Shame one. Fool on me. Want to see it twice. Can't want to do it. Can't get fooled again. But yeah! You can't get fooled again. So the projections never shut up.

We were given a voucher for another showing. They should give you a voucher for two. Well, they ended up having to do that because it happened again. Then the third time. Twice. It might have been two guys that didn't show up. And then finally they got a guy who showed up. And I was sitting there with my mommy.

and my little brother, and as the lights were going down, there was some kids behind us, a couple rows behind us that were talking loudly. And I said absolutely to myself, I'm a child, absolutely to myself, are these guys going to talk to the whole fucking movie? My mother said, what did you say? I haven't heard that.

And then the lights were down on the movie started. Like, I could not enjoy that film because. Because you knew, was there anything on the other side? of like a talking to or? Yeah, there was just like a talking to. Like, never say that again. It's funny though. Yeah.

About because it was rude to the kids. I didn't say to the kids. But you know what I mean? If they had happened to over here, it would have not. Yeah, she was concerned more about those kids' feelings than mine. Never do that again. Don't hurt them. They're wonderful children.

There's someone's child. There's someone's child. They can talk through that the whole fucking movie. My mother said, as a mother of sons, I'm telling you, never say that again. I have a son. I haven't seen that movie since then. I haven't either, but I remember.

It can't be good. I saw it like, you know what? I bet I saw it in my 20s. And I know we did a Class of the Titans episode of Comedy. It was a big deal at the time because they were doing stop motion animation, which they hadn't done on big screen. Yeah, Ray Harryhausen was like the pioneer of that type of animation. And they hadn't done it forever because other special effects had,

You know, it's like Star Wars had come along, you know. And so this was like a big deal to do like a practical special effect like this. With miniature's, you know, monsters going, yeah. The way they used to do it in Jason of the Argonauts. Are you interested in any of this? Not presently. Do you think you will become interested? No, I mean, I am interested for you.

Have you ever seen any of that stuff? No. I'll find a clip for you. Okay. Clips. We love them, don't we? When we go into the salon. We get them.

You get them. I only go to sports clips. What is sports clips? Like, why do you got to... What is sports clips? What do you got to bring sports into a haircut? Because it's manly. Would they have sports like playing?

Yeah. That's called sports clips. Fucking rules. Yeah, fucking rules. And I feel like not gay when I get my haircut there. Do they... Are sports during the day ever? Sports is all day long, bro.

Whoa, even at like three of the morning? There's especially like at three in the morning. Cool. There was a comic, I can't remember his name, but in the early days of cable sports, had a joke. It was like, you ever turn on ESPN at three in the morning? It's just two guys playing catch. I was watching Norm McDonald, a clip of him talking to Michael Keaton,

I guess on his talk show. show. And he was remembering a joke that Michael Keaton had told on Letterman, like, back in the 80s. And then Norm MacDonald did an impression of Michael Keaton telling the joke. And it was very funny. He started doing the, like, sniffing. And he was like, so we were in a plane and the pilot comes on and says, okay, we're going to land in Minneapolis. Current weather there is, it's two degrees. I'm just like, why have any? it had tickled Norm and Donald, I guess, for decades, and he had remembered it.

It really is a very funny joke. The only joke I remember Michael Keaton telling when he was still, like he was still technically a stand-up, but acting in movies. I was on Letterman, and he was, you know, doing panel, he was like, you ever notice there's no old guys named Kevin?

Man, those are, I mean, I remember when Michael Keaton would be on that show all the time. It was so great. I think he made. He was always really funny, yeah. He made movies for the film festival thing that they did, too. I think Letterman had a, what he called the film festival where, like, he gave Michael J. Fox. He gave a bunch of stars money to go make five-minute shorts. I don't remember this at all.

Yeah, and I remember Michael J. Fox made a movie, and I think Michael Keaton made a movie. movie. Yeah, look it up because I remember thinking it was just really cool back then. Yep. Yep. Guys, we have to take a break right now. I had to do it on such a somber note

when we're just talking about something that brings us joy. But we have to take a break and we'll be right back. Okay. Only 18 states require sex ed to be medically accurate. And relationship classes? Let's fix that. I'm Shan, an A-Sex-Sect-certified sex.

We should get a game night. We should get a group together. That would be fun. We should get a group together. We should get a group together. But not the pressure of traders. Dutch Blitz night. Which is a lot of press.

How many people can play it at one time? I think a lot. I don't know, but I, yeah, I imagine a bunch. Cool one to June's house and they'll have big groups and I think it gets fast and furious. Yeah, well, I had like an extender pack or extension pack.

You weren't invited to this girl's night. They've never invited me to their girls night. I mean, how long have they been doing it? I know. And how long have I known them? They've never invited me to girls night. I don't know why. Paul. Yes, Lauren? It's because you're loud. Yes. Because I'm loud. I can't go to girls night. And annoying. Just because I'm loud and annoying. And a man. Oh. Yes. But primarily the first two things. I wish you'd led with the man. But it was mostly loud. You just weren't getting it. So I had to give you a third one. You could have just...

I couldn't. I wish you'd said the first one. I couldn't. Because now I can't unhear the other ones. I couldn't. Sorry. I know I'm annoying. Yeah.

We're so backed up with data. We'll release it all. We'll release it all. Some of it will be rejected. You might think that because we, you know, talked about it a lot and then it started failing that we might not talk about it as much. That's not true. We're still going to talk about it a lot. Yes.

So if you get one of our freedom data plans, we will release data about ourselves to you. Yes. Secret data that we don't want anyone to know. You only get so much every day. Basically what happened was when three of us started doing the show before we started. We asked each other, what's one thing you've never told anyone else? And then we each wrote it down about the other person and put it into our data bank. And we'll release all of that.

Okay, this show runs on mutually assured destruction. So we all have compromise on each other. And we will give you that information. Look, I'm just going to tell you, mine's pissing on a bed. Why are you doing this? Obama slept there. Why did you do this? You know, why you did it?

Why are you telling people now for free? You know, I just want it out there. I'm tired of holding it in. I gave Bill Clinton a blowjob. Yes. Oh, love a. Were you an intern? No.

You won't hear me talk about anything I did. Come on, Lauren. Unless you pay for the data plan. Thank you. One thing. You have this taste. If you want to hear Lauren's data. I swallow fries whole.

Whole. To be honest, out of any food. She doesn't like a sword swallower. Yeah. Out of any food, I understand that. People are quite impressed. It's shaped like a throat. It's shaped just like a throat.

Like a throat. You know. Lauren. A three-dimensional rectangle. You'll see her at a diner or something. She's like, putting it all the way back, holding the fry up aloft.

Like she's in Jim Rose's side show circus. Oh my God, with Enigma the Puzzle Face Man. All right. Let's hear this. What does this person have to say? Yeah. Go to hag claims8.com.

They'll direct you to a computer. You can check your weapons there. Log on to hack claims8.com. All you do is you go to the airport say, I have a weapon. They will take care of the rest. Yes. There's a library in every airport that has free Wi-Fi and free computer access. Yeah.

Did you know that? Did everyone know that? Yeah. Yeah. Do it. It's crazy. Yeah. And it's when you say, oh, library in the airport,

you think like, oh, it's tiny. No, this is like... It's vast. It's like the whole collection of human knowledge is concerned. They got those sliding ladders. They got books of spells. Yeah. That's how extensive the library is.

Yeah, exactly. I think those are just Harry Potter books, actually. There are spells in there. Spells in there. Yeah. Illumio Cajurio! Anyway, so people leave us these voicemails and we try to answer questions as quickly as we can.

Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Let's hear it. Dem three dumb boys. Hey, yo, this is Real from Lincoln, Nebraska. Hi, Rio. I got a question for you.

When you were a kid, what song did you absolutely hate that your parents listen to? Oh, wow. And then as a follow-up, do you actually like that song now? Mm-hmm. For example, for my daughter Serenity, it is the Threedom theme. Oh, hey. Whenever it comes on, she rolls her eyes. You have to tell us that.

Whenever it comes on. So, you know, shout out to her. And she's wrong. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Talk to you all later. See you.

Maybe Serenity doesn't like the fact that her father is avoiding her by listening to podcasts. How does she feel about this song? And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon. I think listening to Threatom is a great way to bond with your children. I do too. I do too. we have the senses of humor of little, little babies. Dumb idiots.

I'm trying to think of music that would have bothered me. One thing I will say, I don't know how often I got to control the music. And now I'm always just putting on Holly's list when we drive. It's like, put on my list. The second I put on it, the second she notices I'm listening to a song that is not something she's familiar with, she wants it off. The worst thing that ever happened to us is when Emmy asked for a song and we said, oh, sure. This is the worst thing that happened to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had a pretty tough life. And we said, oh, yeah, we can do that. And then showed her in real time that we could play a request. It was terrible. We weren't thinking. Well, no, that's what I'm in now. We weren't thinking.

Every time I watch a movie, she's like, add this to my list. If there's like a good song, add this to my list. Add this to my list. Do it right now. Did you do it? Did you add it to my list? So now Emmy asks for stuff and Kulep says, no, Daddy. does so much for us, we need to let

him listen to his music. Oh, that's nice. He needs to enjoy himself too. That's nice. That's not going to work for us. Because Mike, I'm in not with a child's in charge. But no, she but whenever she actually comes up with a new song, I'm very excited because it means that

we get a variety. I'm like, okay, we got Tarzan songs. I'm like, okay, we got Tarzan songs. I'm like, Phil Collins is good, so we got some Phil Collins in here now. That I get excited about. And today I was told. Trash in the Not to sing along, but sometimes I am allowed to sing. I know when Emmy says like, hey, don't sing.

We have to explain like, no, we treat our other family members with respect in this house. And that's not a respectful thing to do. And what does she say to that? Respectfully, don't sing. Anytime we give her a talking to like that, she tries to turn it into a joke. And then also turns away and like won't even acknowledge that you're saying it. And to the point where we're like, you have to, you have to acknowledge. that you have to say that you understand.

Well, like, last night, I felt like... If you did that in the exit row of a plane and just kind of turned away, and like, you'd get thrown off the plane. Here's the thing about the exit row on the plane. When they ask you, are you willing and able to do this? Just lie. Just lie.

Yes. You can get out of the way. Yeah, I can't wait. Just jump out. Oh, I'm dying to do this. I might sabotage the plane so I can. I'm going to do it the best out of anybody's you ever seen it. Yeah.

And then just push over everyone to get off that plane. Screaming. I hate you all. Last night I had a little glimpse of like, I know that I joke around a lot, but I was like, oh, maybe I joke around too much because I was, I was like trying to tell her like, she was, I just trying to discipline her about something. And then she was like, be joking. Just be joking. Be joking. And I was like, I'm not joking.

I'm serious. Stop doing that. And she's like, just be joking. Be joking. You're joking. You're kidding me, right? You're kidding me. That's them trying to, because it's an uncomfortable moment trying to, like, deflect, which is something Emmy does all the time, too, where she's like, I didn't like when you, and she'll say yell, we are not yelling at her, but she's like, I didn't like when you yelled at me.

We're like, well, no, we have to use serious tones of voice sometimes to let you know that it's important. P.S. When I yell at you, you'll know. Yeah, exactly. Because I'll be filming it. And putting it online. and going parent owns heckler. Parent destroys child. But as far as song... What did your parents listen to him?

So I can think of one which was the song Feeling Groovy. I hated. I thought that the term groovy was antiquated and so... I always hated the word groovy. And that song... Because I grew up in like, you light up my life as another one. I grew up in the 70s where it's like gloopy bullshit. was what my parents sort of listened to.

Now, they had some cool records like Beatles and Beach Boys and stuff that they let me listen to, which is great. But when the B movie soundtrack. But when they would be listening to stuff, it would be like elevator music and stuff. And I just hated it. And I hated the word groovy so much when Phil Collins, as you mentioned, came out with the cover of groovy kind of love. It made me, at the time I was thinking Phil Collins was corny.

I was like, this sucks. And now I love that. But I still do not love feeling groovy. Yeah. My parents listened to a lot of easy listening. I mean, they also listen to like big band stuff because that was the music of their youth, you know. So I didn't really dislike that.

Like I liked a lot of those songs and grew up like singing them, learning those songs. But the easy listen, like Anne Murray or something like that would be like, I didn't like it. No, no, I think because of that, I have a weird affection for it. There is a little bit, I, I, as I've, as you know, Paul, because we've listened to some of these in the car together. It's so true.

I've made, I went about acquiring every top 40 song. I've gone back to 1958. You put it out a bounty. Yes. Yeah. The FBI's most wanted this. Million dollars for, if anyone can bring me this song, then I found it on iTunes. But, but, but so I, I, I.

I have like every top 40s song from the 70s, and I will listen to it sometimes, and there will be that gloopy shit on it. And it'll be nostalgic a little bit. So there is something to it. Oh, little snowbird, little snowbird. Oh, God. Yeah. My mom liked the birds and the beetles and... What other animals?

And the fine young cannibals definitely played a role. What? I love that. I recall hearing that a bunch of kids. Wow. John her. You're sorry. And my dad, I think, like, squeeze.

We worry. And like, your parents rule. Roxy music. Rocksy music. This is great. Yeah, so I didn't really complain. I didn't get to control it, but I learned a lot of cool music. Yeah.

That's amazing. Yeah. Those are the ones that pop in my head as random memories. Do you think my dad was listening to Rush Limbaugh on the car once? And that was shitty. But now you like it. Now I'm sort of nostalgic for that guy. Like, well, too bad he's in hell.

I remember watching Rush Limbaugh when he came out, like watching it ironically, like, get a load of this guy. Wally George was like that for everyone in Orange County because it was on KDOC. And you could go to tapings. And I had his record. And I got it. I went to a signing. What was his record? It's him singing Louis, Louis, but Wally Wally Wally.

Do you know Wally George? No. Very similar, like one of those early Jerry Springer, like trash TV types, but he would, he was conservative, but sort of, he started his show and I think it wasn't a joke. And then it became a joke with people like maniacally going, Wally, Wally. And then him railing against the liberal Loonies. Didn't it used to be a show like he didn't have an audience, right? He would just talk.

Probably. And then he got an audience and it became a thing. Yeah. I remember seeing it in 1984 when I came out here to visit my sister. who lived here at the time. And, you know, we'll come on like kind of late at night and just like,

who is this fucking guy? And there was another guy, jean somebody who wore a cowboy hat. He had like a little beard and a cowboy hat and glasses. Oh, I don't know. Was he wearing jeans? Is that why you think of Jean?

Yeah. Okay. So whenever you see what someone's wearing, you think that's their name. Why was his name? Cowboy hat. That's right. Yeah.

I think I saw the jeans first. Oh, you're looking down at his garage fall. Well, that the show was. start. It would pan up... His cowboy hats up here. It would pan up from his ankles. He's probably wearing boots.

So you would have called him boots. I would have called the boots. Not posse and boots. Yeah. And it lingered on the jeans for so long. I was like, he's got to be named Cheed. Yeah.

They're trying to tell us his name. Yeah. They don't have the money to get the text. Paul, or sorry, Lauren. You're Lauren. Yeah. Anything for any song that you can remember? Oh, no, but I guess you went through all the cool stuff.

Yeah. I was just remembering. just generally not like in general. I don't like brown-eyed girl. Dr. Jean Scott. I don't like Bye-bye Miss American Pie. I don't like Miss American Pie. I don't like, you know, you know, there's a lot of things I'm not crazy about that are like.

California dreaming. I actually like the mamas and the poppuss. I've come around to a lot of girls songs. I like the carpenters. I like that era. I had a real anti-hippie thing, I think. growing up in like 80s SLC. Yeah. Well, yeah, I could see that being lame.

Yeah, you know, but now I've, now I'm into it. Yeah. Like for me, I guess that would be what would be like right before for you being like, like I'd be like Britney Spears, but I don't like Snoopheed's on the block or something. Yeah. Yeah. You got to write for Mad Magazine by the way. I got it. These are so good. Magazine. Spittany Breers. Absolutely goals.
