is in front of me on the second line, still had her stuff in her cart.
The bell was completely empty and there's no reason for this.
Now, and I'm sighing a lot because I'm trying to remain calm because it'd be really easy for me to get pissed.
But I'm sure that'll come as I recount the rest of the story.
She has a few things in just the seat part of the cart and pulls them out as just veggies.
She was getting just vegetables, five bags of different kinds of vegetables.
That's fine.
They all have different price points.
They need to be weighed separately.
Totally understandable.
You know what though?
She wanted them all rung up separately as separate transactions.
And this is where my patience is getting a little thin because I'm thinking, why would she possibly need five ears of corn rung up separately from two red peppers, which are exactly what she had.
No exaggeration.
So I think, okay, what is going on with this?
How did I go from one line behind a person who's a pain in the ass to another person who's a pain in the ass?
What are the odds?
Thankfully, I didn't have to be anywhere, but I can't help but think, I guess these two women didn't have to be anywhere either because they were not exactly prepared.
I mean, this woman didn't even have the crap in her belt.
Seriously?
So, I think, oh, well, maybe she's got to pick them up for work or something and that's why she needs things rung up separately.
No, here's one of many kickers of the whole situation.
She pays with the same debit card for each thing and it's five ears of corn, $2.
That's one transaction.
That's one transaction.
That's one transaction.
That's one transaction.
That's one transaction.
That's one transaction.
which obviously she's not particularly adept at.
So it's like pecking the keys.
Red peppers, 34 cents.
I'm not joking.
34 cents for red peppers had to be rung up separately.
It's food.
There's no tax.
You know exactly how much everything costs.
Why do you need to have stuff rung up separately?
I just couldn't understand.
Five separate transactions.
And then it was finally, it was my turn for my three items.
And at that point I was annoyed, but I didn't care if the woman was going to be an earshot.
I said to the cashier, since I walked up, which is funny because the woman at that point suddenly was in a hurry and took off as soon as she was finished checking out.
And I said, hi, these are mine.
You can ring them all together though.
That's okay.
And she just kind of let out a sigh of kind of exhaustion.
And I said, I cashiered for many years.
It's totally okay.
I don't understand why these people need help and why they need everything rung separately.
And by the way, needless to say, the whole time these two registers are backing up because these women, whatever they're doing is so important that it doesn't matter.
There's a bunch of people behind me.
And everybody gets frustrated when you see lines backing up at the registers.
The people who work in the store get annoyed by it.
Obviously customers get annoyed by it, but we're all consumers.
Why not show up at the register prepared?
Know how you're going to pay, have your coupons ready.
That's something, sorry, ladies, but it's always on you.
You have to organize your purse while you're at the register.
It's flipping through everything.
You haven't even figured out how you're going to pay yet.
Which, let me see.
And flipping through a bunch of stuff that otherwise you probably never go through in your wallet.
If I use coupons, which I do, I have them ready.
I bring them with me to the store.
You know why?
I'm probably going to buy the things the coupons are for.
I don't need to flip through a Rolodex and think, let's see, be for brawny.
There it is.
Seriously, be prepared when you go to the registers because you're just holding everybody up because of your unique needs.
And, you know, like I said, I regard them as special needs customers, not because they have anything to do with it.
I regard them as special needs customers, anything wrong with them except narcissism.
But seriously, be better about the people who are behind you.
It's only funny because of how many complaints I've taken over the years when it comes to how people want employees to bend over backwards to make sure everything's done quickly, which is great because time suddenly becomes precious after people spend an hour and 48 minutes in a store shopping around looking at crap that they're most likely not going to buy.
And as soon as they get to the register, they're in a hurry.
It's one of the funniest things and most people do it.
And I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as special needs customers.
Seriously, be prepared.
I regard them as and they just, they never come prepared.
They're never ready to check out.
They don't have their payment ready.
They don't have their stuff on the frigging belt.
And I just think, if you're going to go to the store, you're not prepared.
You just want to hold everybody up.
Just run up on the roof and jump off.
On second thought, don't do that because then they're just going to take employees outside to clean up the mess and everything else.
Stay home and kill yourself.
Anyway, on a lighter note, let's move on to, I was doing some apartment cleaning because at that point I didn't want to go anywhere.
So I was home cleaning up and I came across something I completely forgot about, about six months ago.
I had to do kind of a rush CPR training class where I didn't actually retain anything.
You just kind of go through a theoretical procedure of how to save someone's life.
And I was rewarded with a little earthquake preparedness kit.
And I completely forgot I had this thing.
And if you can check out the video again on the YouTube channel, so you can see what I mean.
This is the blue can, pure water, 50 year shelf life.
So here's what I want.
I plan on being here.
I plan on being here in 50 years.
But if I'm not, or if I am, I'm making the declaration right now on this the 27th of April in the year 2015.
In 2064, I'm going to open this can of water and drink it.
Because look, I'm not, I got it for free.
It's not as if I'm going to go challenge the fine people at Blue Can or whoever the hell manufactures this just to make sure that the water's actually fresh.
Unless of course this drought, business keeps up and I might need to drink this thing by this time next year because there might not be any water left.
But otherwise, yes, when I'm 83, I'm totally going to drink this water and see how it is.
If not, whoever inherits my crap, whoever I leave it to, I expect you to keep this can handy because you need to crack it open and drink the water because I had to spend about six and a half minutes going through a mock CPR class to earn it.
And God damn it, someone's going to drink it.
All right.
Onto some even happier news.
Today, we are bringing you what is likely the final installment in what turns out to be the, or what is likely to be the, what I didn't expect when we were expecting trilogy.
Because my good friend, Andrew Rizzatello, is going to be, I mean, technically he's a father now, but you know, he's not really a father until the baby's born.
We know that.
So his child's going to be hatched in about two weeks.
So chances are he's not going to have much.
I mean, he might, he could have a whole phone book's filled of stuff where that he's learned, but probably not.
He's paralyzed with fear, I'm sure at this point.
But anyway, we have the final lesson from him.
So we're going to give you a quick listen to that.
The show featuring Adam and Sean are here and they're going to perform.
So we're going to take a quick break.
Andrew's going to drop some knowledge on you and we'll be back here with the studio live, in the studio live with the show.
In just a few minutes.
Enjoy.
Hello everyone.
This is Andrew.
And this is what I didn't expect when we were expecting.
One of the things that was brought to my attention while the pregnancy was going on was that my wife obviously was going to gain weight. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .!
seven months.
So, gentlemen, you and your woman planning on or are about to conceive, try and stay away from the good stuff.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the show.
My mama always told me, son, go.
Outside, you got to do something with your stupid life.
She told me I could do anything if I just follow my dreams.
A pilot, a painter, a candlestick maker, a stripper, a lawyer, or the undertaker.
None of these things ever appeal to me.
If I had my choice, it's probably jerking off.
It's something that I do.
Jerking off alone in my room.
I'm a master of my trade.
Don't get in my way.
Cause I'll be jerking off every single day.
My daddy always told me, son, be a man.
Get yourself together and make a plan.
Have a wife.
Start a family.
Have some babies for your mom and me.
A son or a daughter.
A family vacations.
A house and a mortgage.
And no more Playstations.
None of these things ever appeal to me.
Cause I'm so damn lazy.
Jerking off is something that I do.
Jerking off alone in my room.
I'm a master of my trade.
Don't get in my way.
Cause I'll be jerking off.
Don't get in my way.
Don't get in my way.
Don't get in my way.
Don't get in my way.
I'll be jerking off every single day.
Come on!
My wife is always yapping about something she read or something that happened to her stupid friends.
And I'm not saying I'm not listening.
Blah, blah, blah.
I'm not listening.
And she could say this and she could say that.
Help with the laundry and take out the trash.
None of these things ever appeal to me.
My favorite thing we're loving.
always be.
Jerking off is something that I do.
Jerking off alone in my room.
I'm a master of my trade.
Don't get in my way.
Cause I'll be jerking off every single day.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
There was a, oh, is the soundboard not working?
I tried to give you guys what was known as sexy cheer.
Oh, cool.
It felt good when there was nothing.
It was good.
It was really good.
No, no good.
It's not working.
Sorry.
It's all good.
Do we just not play a song?
Yeah.
I'm going to try to make up for it now.
I'm going to sound like a horde of screaming girls.
That's funny.
I really had it queued up ready to go, but for some reason it's now playing.
No, it's not playing though.
Huh?
Interesting.
The volume's all the way up.
Did it work?
I have no idea.
Did we, did we, did we play for anybody?
No, it's, you know what it is?
It, it plays, but it's not like counting down.
Like the clip isn't playing for some reason.
Are we live right now?
We are totally live right now.
This is amazing.
This is the best live joint ever.
Of live.
We don't know if we actually performed live, but we got told we got performed.
I'm pretty sure I played a song just now.
But thank you for having us.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, you guys are very welcome.
This is really cool.
You have a nice bass, by the way.
When we were listening to your story earlier, I was like, listen to that sexy man's bass.
Thank you.
You drop in there.
That's part of the reason that I do a show.
Just go home and listen to yourself.
And jerk off.
We just discussed this.
Yeah, you know what?
I'm kind of, I don't have a choice, but to do a show.
I'm stuck with this radio voice.
Yeah, it's just the way it is.
What can I do?
I got a few Swisher sweets on the way over or something and bring my register down some.
Is that gay code?
Swish.
Anyway.
All right.
So I first saw you guys perform at Loft Cabaret.
Yes, thank you.
Back in March.
And you guys can follow all the events at the Loft at loftensemble.org.
Yes, you can.
And you can follow the show.
First of all, on Twitter, the show underscore the band.
And you look for the show with Adam and Sean.
And you can follow the show on Facebook and YouTube.
Give them the thumbs up and check out some more of their songs.
And it's a good time.
Yeah, songs and stuff.
And if you're in the Southern California area, May 3rd, they will be headlining Flappers Comedy Club in Claremont.
And May 20th, they'll be playing at the Elixir Variety Show at the Federal Bar in North Hollywood.
That starts at 8 p.m.
It's a really great show.
That one's a lot of fun.
That's in my neighborhood.
I'm probably going to have to check that out.
It's a really kick-ass experience.
It's great.
There's cabaret.
There's ladies.
There's singing.
There's music.
And then, of course, we're in it.
Well, you said ladies.
And you guys.
And it's packed.
The place is always packed.
Is it really?
Yeah, there's always like 200 people there.
North Hollywood's like booming these last few years.
It's nuts.
I lived in Burbank in 2007, 2008.
Yeah.
Not as much going on.
No.
Moved back here in 2012, and all of a sudden, it's cool to be in North Hollywood.
Yeah, they put in...
Whereas before, I wouldn't even drive through it.
They put in that theater, and they put in a bunch of cool bars.
And we play there now.
We play there.
That steps up the class.
Really?
Automatically.
You guys are dressed better than I've ever dressed in my entire life, by the way.
Thank you.
This is part of the deal.
We even texted each other last night, and I was like, should we just roll in how we normally dress?
And then we were like, no, this is what we normally dress like when we perform, is we wear suits and ridiculous outfits like this all the time.
And we figured it's important for us to be comedians that have a real presence in an audio show, what we look like.
Yeah.
It's very important.
Of course.
Our costume when people are just listening is really, really important.
I'm in a lime green, baby green plaid jacket.
Well, some people can't...
You can see us.
What's your name, by the way, again?
That is Cheyenne.
Cheyenne, thank you.
She's the unsung hero of Cape.
She's so lovely.
She is.
I just like her a lot.
If she'd get the goddamn soundboard to work.
Anyway.
I'm in the green, and he's in the blue, and that's Sean, and I'm Adam.
And we are the show.
We are the greatest band.
You've never heard of.
But we're coming to you.
Yeah.
That's our plan.
Courtesy of me.
Yeah, no.
This is our first time we got to do something like this, so this is cool.
Yeah.
I'm excited.
No, I was happy to have you guys here because, like I said, I caught your set.
And actually, that time you're wearing matching adult onesies.
We were.
Which was...
One was Batman, one was Superman.
Yes.
It was basically like an adult-sized sleeper.
Yes.
The kind of thing I'd live in if I could find one.
Exactly.
When we do the Loft, because we've been playing that Loft cabaret show for almost two years now.
And it's the greatest...
It's the greatest venue to just try stuff.
And if you're ever wanting something to do and just see cool, different live acts, it's great.
But we always just try new stuff.
Try new costumes there.
We try new songs there.
And so it's always kind of a place to kind of see if things are working.
And then we can take them to other places.
I've been toying with the idea of going and playing in the cabaret one of these days.
Really?
As legitimate musical performance.
What do you do?
It's not that you guys aren't.
Well, my first show business four-way...
Four-way.
That sounds like show business.
That's a flip.
Yeah, it is.
That is show business.
It's show business.
It's just in four ways.
Four ways.
That's where I'm at right now.
The funniest part is I never use the term foray.
So it's even funnier.
Yeah.
It's funny that didn't work out this time.
It's my brain.
Tell me, don't say that.
I had to force him in the foray.
You guys better write that.
Foray with the casting couch.
Yeah.
So what is it that you...
Anyway, yeah, I started out as a musician.
I moved out here to go to a musician's institute in Hollywood, actually.
So I'm a certified guitar player.
How is that school?
I don't know.
I just asked for someone that went there because I drive by it all the time.
I think it's great.
I'm still in touch with a lot of the teachers.
The experience was invaluable just because I wanted to get to the closest thing to like an immersion program, almost bootcamp-like.
I mean, it's not super strict where it's like they're drilling you constantly.
Right, right, right.
But it's a full-on 15 credit per quarter program.
Every day?
Pretty much.
I mean, most of the time it was Monday to Thursday.
Some classes are Fridays, but all your core classes were Monday to Thursday.
I had a great experience.
I mean, if somebody wants to be...
My best...
Because frankly, I get asked a lot about it, especially since I brought it up on the show.
If somebody's interested, I definitely recommend the summer shot where they do, I think it's a week or possibly two weeks, which is kind of an insulated course.
Isolated, rather.
Wow.
The words are not working tonight.
It's okay.
This is why I'm glad I brought a guest.
You'd just be up here.
It'd be a disaster.
You know what's funny?
Random words.
Random words.
Random words.
I know.
Oh, it's shoes.
So, Nectar birthday back.
It was a great...
I had a great time going there.
I would definitely recommend, if anybody's considering being a lifer, as far as a lifetime musician, definitely go for it.
I don't regret having spent a dollar on my education there because the experience was of value and ultimately led me back out here to do this show and voice acting and all the other things I do now.
So, I love that.
So, you can shred, though.
You can shred on the guitar.
More or less.
You can be honest.
I can.
I don't do it.
Not much.
Is that applauding how great our song was?
Is that just catching up?
There it is.
Oh, you guys are so awesome now.
Did we lose it?
We're losing the crowd, everybody.
Can I say that we've spiked in viewers, so go figure.
Oh, good.
The sounds aren't working, but there actually is a human audience out there.
Yeah, the digital effects aren't working, but the people are enjoying it.
But, anyway, so, back to you guys.
Thanks.
Always back to you.
That's the idea.
When in doubt.
Apparently, I'm not speaking very well.
So, where did you guys get started?
Separately or together?
Well, we met.
We both just happened to move to L.A.
at the same time to go to the same school.
I'm from Omaha, Nebraska.
Adam grew up in San Diego, and then we met at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts to start our acting careers.
Never heard of it.
The little school teaches people to get on stage.
Up and coming program, I guess.
And then just kind of organized.
Yeah.
And then, organically, we started playing music together outside of that.
Adam has always been a singer, and I had always played guitar since I was a teenager.
And basically, instead of video games, we would get together and play music and write these ridiculous songs that we'd play at parties for friends.
And we had like a couple.
We just had like a couple songs, like two, three songs.
And with no intention, just like you said, just instead of sitting around playing video games, we would.
We'd get together and we'd jam.
And then a couple years ago, we were like, what the hell are we doing?
Like, why don't we?
We're both actors.
We're both doing this all the time.
We're performing all the time in some capacity.
Why are we not just doing this and trying to do this?
Totally.
Because we're best friends, and we would have so much more fun if we kicked ass and ruled the world doing this instead of doing anything else.
And we get to do and choose what we want to do.
I mean, you have your own show.
You just, when you're, you know, when you feel like that feeling of like, I get to choose what I do.
Yeah.
It's really satisfying.
So then we just really kind of bucked down.
We were like, let's write some more songs.
And so in the last two years, we've, we're probably at like 35 songs, probably got like about an hour and 40 minutes worth of comedy music.
We'll be finding out over the next hour and a half.
Strapping.
Yeah, no.
So we just, the idea was just like, keep cranking them out, keep doing new ones, keep doing new ones and finding venues that we could play at.
And so this year in particular, especially since like February this year, we made a goal.
We were like, let's just play and whore ourselves out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we're like, we're out to any, anybody that'll have us.
Any unknown podcasters who are out there.
Anybody that'll have us.
I mean, we're just happy and grateful to play places and just get out to, because it's one thing, you know, and again, using the same format that you understand too, when you put it out to your friends, it's one thing.
But then when you put it out to random people, that's when you're like, okay, this is working.
Yeah.
That's fueling the engine.
That's what's fueling it right now.
Especially as random people are being like, oh, this is funny.
You guys got something.
So we're stoked about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's good too, because it's all, it's all part of the performing thing anyway.
Exactly.
Like even though you're doing something separate from, from acting, it's still, and especially now it's actually something, it's been a recurring theme through here as various people who've come through the doors of the studio have spoken about where we've mentioned how the ease when it comes to technology and the independence you have to create your own stuff, there's really no excuse to not do it.
Totally.
Or to do something on your own.
There's no sitting around waiting for callbacks anymore.
Totally.
Right.
And it's not like you're doing something, maybe like a local, a small theater group or something.
Yeah.
Go do something because there are enough outlets for it.
And that's why like when you brought up Loft, I mean, I am personally the artistic director there and we started it eight years ago.
Was that, was it the sole reason?
It was like, let's just do something and let's be in charge of something and let's pick and choose what we want to do when we want to do it.
And we're motivated and you don't want to wait around for a callback all the time.
Yeah.
I want to, you know, cause again, and you're also, what are you waiting around for a callback for?
Like a callback for like sometimes like what?
Like one line?
where you're like, oh, I brought in pizza to this like co-star part for a TV show.
And you're like, here's your pizza.
And you're like so stoked to have this part.
At the end of the day, like what the hell is that?
Yeah, you don't feel, you can curse, it's interesting.
What is it?
You know, what is, how exciting is that?
Like, you know, but then you're stoked because it pays well or you get on TV and your parents will be proud.
But at the end of the day, like you can create your own stuff with technology.
And you're not at the mercy of somebody else, which is the whole, I think that's what makes people nuts out here is when they're just completely reliant on callbacks or doing other, where it's like, you need something.
And that's one of the reasons like I do this show on a weekly basis.
I like having that perpetual project where I need to, yes, I need to engage that part of my brain where I constantly need to think creatively.
And it's fueled other projects outside of this.
But since I've been doing this, especially live, it's the first time I actually have to do something and put it out there.
And then I can't go back and fix anything.
If the sound effects don't work, I can't do anything.
If I say four way, if I say four way by mistake, oh well, everybody knows.
It's on my mind.
Yeah.
It'd be more embarrassing if there were four of us here.
But anyway, you guys are absolutely right though.
And that's one of the reasons why it's, I'm always surprised how many people say, you guys probably encounter people like that who are just actors and don't do anything else.
That's it.
Yeah, that's it.
And they're only- Nothing wrong with it.
No, no, no.
I'm just surprised people are that complacent.
And they're only actors by like their auditions.
And they're so, as opposed to trying to do something.
Doing anything else.
Amazing how many actors like refuse to do like theater or get up and live and do it in front of people.
Yeah.
Because even the concept of like, I get it if you don't like want to be in a play all the time or something like that, or you're like not into it.
You don't want to do it for like two months.
But the concept of getting up in front of people and like getting to like be comfortable with that, like just if you do become a famous actor, like you're going to have to do that.
You're going to have to get on radio shows and talk shows and stuff and talk to people and be social and be interesting.
Yeah.
Without having that experience, if the only thing you've ever done is wait around for like a Budweiser callback, like- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It just becomes difficult.
Yeah.
It's all reps.
Yeah.
It's just reps, man.
You need to get in front of people.
You need to do something.
You need to engage yourself.
It's easy to sit in your apartment and be like, it's so isolating and alone in LA.
Like it's, and it fucks people up.
Totally.
Totally.
People get really like, and it's very easy to get isolated here, especially with now everybody's offering a home delivery, every grocery store, not to get back to that, but everyone's offering home delivery for like five bucks.
Yeah.
So it's a great time to be a hermit, but you'll drive yourself crazy if you do it.
And just wait for the phone to ring.
Yeah.
Like get out there and do, and there's enough people, frankly, and that was one of the cool things about going to, to the loft was seeing how many talented people there are.
Not that it's surprising talented people in LA, but it's like, here's a whole pocket of people.
You don't even.
I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
And I only ended up there by chance because my pines fell apart that night.
And I just happened to talk to our mutual friend.
And you were like, well, let's try it, figure it out and go.
Yeah.
I said, oh, let me check it out.
And I wasn't going there scouting for people to be on the show or anything, but you know, I'd chatted with Jordan Castee.
He came on the show a couple of weeks ago.
You guys are here now.
So it's.
He's great.
He is.
Yeah.
He came in, he did a couple of songs and he's got a fascinating story too.
The way he flew around.
Really good songwriter.
Yeah.
You guys, if you want to check out Jordan, you can check out Cape 41, I believe was his episode, Sunset Hustling with Jordan Castee.
That's not a double entendre.
I was talking about hustling and wealth.
Oh really?
That's funny.
Cause it just kind of feels something like he's a song he'd write or something.
He might now.
And then there will be some litigation.
All right.
I, I did cause I posted obviously about the live show.
Yeah.
As always.
And a friend of mine who looked up your videos was very impressed and has requested you guys play.
I'm not sure what the technical title is, but it's the blowjob song.
Okay.
Because.
For sure.
Who wouldn't want to hear that?
Sure.
Okay.
Let's find them and then put them on an island, blow the island up.
Yeah.
Because.
For ladies.
Yeah.
It's a very penile heavy month actually.
Between last week and then.
Yeah.
You guys are on your second song.
Second song.
Yeah.
But it's, it's a very phallic April here on Cape.
This is.
That's okay.
A love song.
Yeah.
It's a love song.
It's a love song.
Hello beautiful.
It's time to unwind.
It's been a day.
Could you some wine?
And I won't bore you with the drama in my life.
But I could really use a BJ tonight.
And when was the last time you sucked my dick?
It's been a month or two or three or six.
And I'm not complaining.
No, I'm just saying.
I could.
Really.
Really use a BJ tonight.
And if I had my choice, yes, I'd make it really gross.
And those are the kind that I love the most.
You talk a little shit and then you maybe show a tit.
And you see I'm rude.
I see I'm a dude.
But I'm not a dude.
I'm a dude.
With a dick.
And I'm not trying not to offend you.
But I could really use a BJ from you.
And it's not crazy.
No, it's a human nature.
And girl, if you won't fucking, I'll return the favor.
No, it's a human nature.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
Who's coming next?
That would be me.
Followed by you.
Followed by X-Files.
David Duchovny.
There it is.
They're really, really quiet.
There they are.
That's a live studio audience.
It's a lot of people.
Yeah, it is.
They're kind of there in the background.
But anyway, it's great.
It's a computer.
Damn.
If any song, women should be cheering.
It's that one.
More so than jerking off.
They can't quite relate in the same way.
That's the one we made a music video for, though.
And we made it all on our own.
And we made it for like zero dollars.
And we shot it at the loft.
And we had a set at the time that was like, we were doing this play about, it was when Lauren was in, actually.
And it was a set that was like taking place in like a eating disorder clinic.
And so it was like this big open room.
And so we were like, what if we just turned this into like an old person place?
And we hired all these old people.
And we shot it like we were working there.
Like we were the entertainment for the old people's facility.
Nice.
And we did that.
And we wore these suits.
I was going to say, those suits are probably, they think, oh, what nice guys.
Yeah, we wore these suits.
It was good.
That one's always an interesting song to do because it's like, like right when we get to it, it's like, it's like, we never call it that.
We never say like, it's the blowjob song.
You just say it's a love song.
This one goes out to the ladies.
And then it gets to that first line.
And everyone goes, did you just say that?
Did you just say that?
I thought this was a nice band.
Well, that's why it's funny having Cheyenne, I can see her through the glass, laughing at the song.
I'm thinking, let's see how this goes.
Let's see how this goes down.
That's right.
I said it.
Yeah.
It's good.
We like puns.
It is.
Totally.
I'm a fan too.
So, where else have you guys been playing recently?
Oh, you did the Comedy Central stage.
We did.
That was the third time we've done that stage in the last like year.
It's a great venue.
It's, you know, you got to pack it.
So it's like, it's all free though.
So it's a little easy to tell people, just be, hey, just come.
That's all you do.
Just show up.
And there's nobody, there's no one else before you or anything like that.
It's just you.
But the cool thing is they shoot it.
They shoot it from a couple of different angles.
And so it sounds good.
You get to kind of see what you look like.
If you're an idiot or not.
And we learned that the first time we did it, we kind of went back.
We sort of like how athletes like watch tape.
They go home and they like watch it.
And we like went home and watched.
We were like, okay, we'll do this better.
Yeah.
And so then we, we like quickly booked another one with them and then just felt like it got a lot better.
And then we'd waited like a year because it's hard when we're playing so many shows, it's hard to just be like, everyone come to this one.
Everyone come to this one.
And everyone come to this one.
Yeah.
And especially here where there's a lot going on.
There's just so much happening.
It's tough.
Yeah.
That's one of the reasons I moved back to New Jersey after I graduated MI.
It's just like out here and pay to play was rampant more so than seven years ago.
So it's like, it's tough to get people to come out when there's so much going on.
So much going on.
And then you, well, when you're doing the comedy thing, especially because we can play bars and so it's cool when we get to do those, but it's also, we can play comedy venues and stuff.
A lot of times you get like five minutes, seven minutes, 10 minutes, you know, so you get to do like two songs.
One, we've done a lot of shows.
We've done one song.
We do one song.
One song.
And so like, you know, a lot of our friends have seen that one song.
It's hard to be like, Hey, come on out to this one place.
Show's at midnight.
It's going to be a great four minutes.
It'll be at midnight.
We won't go until, we went on like 1.30 in the morning and we had to do two songs.
And so like, you know, it's hard to get people to come out and think that they're, especially when they've seen you do like an hour before.
Don't get me wrong.
It's going to be a tight seven minutes.
This is a peak opportunity to see us on stage.
And it's funny too, about like the, the visual side of where we get to watch, watch yourself back.
Cause you don't realize it.
I did that back when I was playing in bands, you know, at MI where they filmed all the performances.
It was great to watch that back.
But even here, like when I started doing this show, cause I'd never done a proper live show before, a live podcast.
It was the first couple I wanted to get used to it.
So I didn't even post the video.
I have the videos of them because I would watch it to do essentially a, just a check so I can be at ease with it.
Just with a live format.
Yeah.
And I'm super, I, I, I'm very handsy for lack of a better term because I'm from, it's just that heritage thing.
I'm from New Jersey.
I'm totally Italian on my father's side.
So it's like, there's a lot of this.
And I thought, God damn it.
Am I fidgety?
I look really nervous.
So it took a good six weeks before I'm like, all right, we can post videos.
Make a conscious effort to change what you're doing.
Yeah.
Or just own it.
So at this point I'm like, I'm just, I'm used to seeing it now.
I flail.
I just flail about it.
Flailing.
That's the exact word for it.
Are you guys into, this might be a silly question.
If it is, forgive me.
But are you guys into other comedy, musical acts?
For sure.
Yeah.
I listen to a lot of different comedy music and music in general.
And specifically, a lot of two person bands.
Really?
Yeah.
Because I like to see how they get that big sound.
For instance, like the White Stripes.
Those are just the two of them.
And they're, everyone that got to see them live would always comment of like, I can't believe how much sound was coming from two people.
Yeah.
And, and going from there into like the Smothers Brothers.
I grew up on them.
My dad introduced me to the Smothers, Smothers Brothers.
And then going through the comedy route, you've got Tenacious D and Fly to the Concords.
And Garfunkel and O's.
Those are all duos.
And, we're the next in line.
It really is.
I mean, and we do, you know, because again, we probably, obviously now it's Tenacious D and Fly to the Concords are probably the ones we get compared to the most.
But because a lot of people don't necessarily remember the Smothers Brothers.
But then once people see them, they're like, holy shit, you guys are like them because we dress like them and stuff like that.
But, you know, again, we're trying to do something different because a lot of the music, like that we do do, we incorporate like rap a lot and stuff like that too.
And so there's, you know, again, our vibe, what he said, trying to make a sound that sounds full with just a guitar.
Right.
And every once in a while, he'll throw on the harmonica and it's pretty sweet.
He throws that on every once in a while and we get a little bigger.
But yeah, I mean, when we have the rapping and then when we sing together and stuff, and so it is about, but those bands, I mean, I remember the first time I saw Fly to the Concords, I was like, this is unbelievable.
This, this is so funny.
It looks like they're having so much fun.
And then that sort of inspired a lot of it too.
Yeah.
And that, and that became their trademark.
That was their thing.
And they've since written songs for a bunch of, like, I think for music.
One of them won an Oscar for the Muppets.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, that was, how did I not know that?
And they like, I mean, they had their own show besides just the specials.
They had their own series for I think two seasons.
Right.
That's great.
Yeah.
Or even Garfunkel and Oates who now have a show as well.
Exactly.
They've been actressing for a long time.
Exactly.
And, you know, they did this on the side and became kind of a local.
And that was the same story pretty much since Tenacious D.
Yeah.
Before anybody knew who Jack Black was.
He and Kyle were just going around playing shows and they were almost more known for that until Jack started popping up in movies.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But it's, it's another outlet.
Like we were saying, it's an, it's another use of talent.
And even with, I mean, same with me, like even though music isn't the main, anything I'm doing right now, I still play all the time, but it still informs everything else you do.
Totally.
And it's still, like you guys said, getting up in front of crowds, getting up performing and getting that reaction too.
It also just informs your performance in general when it comes to what you're doing, when you get into an audition or when you're up at a party or something like all that informs everything you end up doing.
Yeah.
The banter, getting the banter on stage between the stuff because when you have like, when you're signing, like when we go and we play it like a comedy act and they give you five minutes, it's like a standup comedian in five minutes could have like 25, 30 jokes.
Oh yeah.
We have one, you know what I mean?
We get like our song and it's like, if this works, then great.
But if it doesn't, then those are jokes.
You gotta sit in that joke for a little while and just hope that it goes okay.
Thank you.
Good night.
You guys have two minutes left.
Yeah.
Great, great, great.
So like learning our banter a little bit and just feeling more comfortable has been great too.
You know, just getting that element of things.
And no small task out of their headlining at places like Flappers.
I mean, that's, they've been great to us.
We got, gotta give a shout out to Flappers.
They, ever since we went to their open mic, they've just been throwing us on stage.
Nice.
So it's been fun.
A bunch of really cool people over there.
Yeah.
And they give a lot of people chances and if you can bring people, they're all about it.
You know, if you can get people to come see you there and that's, that's, that's part of the deal.
You know, you want people to see you.
So invite people.
Yeah.
Invite people.
Even if you're doing, like I said, even if you are doing something small, if you haven't done it before, like that's like, remember the first time we did Flappers, we got to do like one song and I think we had like 50 people there.
Like for this one song and even the headliner went on after us and was like, this is unfair because you guys have all the people here.
I'm doing 2530 and now what?
Now you guys should be up here for 2530 because you guys have all the people.
That seems like a really cool community too whereas it's, I mean, granted I'm not a comedian.
I'm just a smart ass who decided to host a show but it seems like things are a lot more competitive in the Hollywood clubs, let's say, whereas in Flappers it seems to be more like a community almost.
There is definitely a community.
We've noticed just in our own experience too that, uh, I don't, I don't know what it is but a lot of the comedians when we start playing, they'll come up and they'll talk to us and be like super cool and we'll exchange information but it's almost like they get intimidated and always leave when we get on stage.
It's bizarre.
It's amazing.
It's bizarre.
Every time we play like those, any sort of stand-up shows and I don't know if it's just because they think like we're just like a act and it's like a gimmick or something like that and it's just not that.
Like, I've always just been like it's funny, funny's funny.
Like, yeah, if you get up and you do something funny, who gives a shit like how you did it?
Are we at a funny club and were we supposed to make people laugh?
Yeah, people laughing.
You told a joke about how much of a loser you are and everyone laughed so we're gonna tell a joke about us and we're gonna sing a song about it.
Make it for a blowjob.
Make it for a blowjob.
I mean, like it's all like relevant but it's amazing how often we kind of just get sort of like the bad eye from a lot of stand-up comedians that just are not into like what we're doing because of the fact that it is like a song thing or something.
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
It's kind of funny though.
We did a show relatively recently where we were the headliners and there was a whole table, a booth of comedians of seven or eight of them throughout the whole show and we watched everybody and they were all supporting and then we got up on stage and the booth was empty and we're like, God, that's so bizarre.
The crowd had a good time.
Just sitting in the lobby.
Just sitting in the lobby waiting while we're just doing what we're doing.
There's a weird get a little curmudgeonly.
Yeah, there's a competition element there that I kind of don't understand because everybody like there's comedy so broad and it's so specific as far as what people are interested in because it doesn't have like it's probably the most subjective performance.
That's why the Oscars are littered with dramas because everybody has the same points of heartbreak and death and things like that.
That's easy.
But what's funny to people is so subjective that like everybody has their thing.
There are 300,000 podcasts on iTunes that stop me from doing one.
Right, sure.
There's still room for it.
That's why I think I'd be a lousy comedian just because I'm like, I'm not competitive.
I'm not here to prove anything to somebody else.
Right, right.
Even, I get it though, really.
I get your...
I think coming from the theater though background for both of us because we are huge theater dorks at the end of the day.
We really are big, big advocates of it.
And it's a community too.
Theater's very much a sense of community.
So community, support each other and so like whenever we go, we always like watch the whole thing and we sit there and we sit in front and we clap and we're just super pumped to like see people be funny and do something entertaining and then it's just always interesting because then we get up and it's like everyone leaves.
But everybody's on the same side.
It's funny how people get very like, oh, I can't believe, like it's, it's not to say everybody can't laugh.
People, and when I've been to Flappers, it seems like people who go there, not to perk up Flappers specifically, but I like the place because it genuinely seems like people there to have a good time.
Totally.
They're not sitting back like make me laugh.
No, no, no.
Because it isn't that.
People are there to either try their stuff or just have a good time that night.
Definitely.
Get drunk and eat food and whatever and watch someone be funny.
Yeah.
It's a good thing.
It's a good night.
I like going there.
Since I live in Burbank, I'm right near the one that's in Burbank.
So I like it.
I really, really like it.
So it's cool.
Good.
I get that vibe from them anyway having been there a couple of times, but it's great to hear that they're cool to you.
Totally.
Because I definitely get that.
Shout out to Richie.
It seems very, very much like a, it's not like a community.
It seems like they'd be very welcoming to people and very encouraging of talent.
That seems to be the ethic probably because the place is run by comedians.
That's really helpful.
Yeah.
They're probably not like trying to make it super difficult and isolating.
They got a school and everything too.
Yeah.
I've taken a couple of classes actually, just day classes.
And it's been good just because anything to put a couple more hours in the quiver, you know, it all helps.
All right.
We're winding down a little bit.
You guys want to do one more?
Sure.
Artist choice.
Guest choice.
Okay.
Just to change it up a little bit.
Wait, it's not about penises?
No.
No.
This one's different.
It's also a love song.
I'm out.
This one, this is about Jurassic Park.
Finally.
The movie, the movie that changed my life.
And I just, I think I watched it like 60,000 times when I was a kid.
And Sean too.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
And it's just, it's just one of those movies that just sticks in so many people's brains.
And so we wrote this song basically about like what would happen if it really did happen and sort of our perspective of it.
So it's called Jurassic Park.
What would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
If I were you, a T-Rex was barreling down on you.
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
Were true?
Started with a man with a big white beard.
No, not Santa Claus.
This dude was a little weird.
Talk about trying to read the signs, my friend.
Did he really not think how this was gonna end?
Dinosaur, dinosaur, let me repeat that.
It's a dinosaur, not a fucking house cat.
You can't just lock it up cause then they get sick and then like Laura Dern, you put your hand in some shit.
So what would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
If a brontosaurus tried to step on you, what would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?
Their feet are freaking huge.
Freaking huge.
A pack of Velociraptors, might be the worst way you could die.
You'd be screaming, yelling, helping, you'd probably cry.
You'd be like, please don't, please don't, please don't, no, no, please don't eat me.
Uh, they're Velociraptors, they are so not listening.
You know what I could use in this special time of need?
Is Jeff Goldblum being condescending.
We run and we run just as fast as we want.
We're stuck on an island and we can't get off, so what would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
If a Dilophosaurus fucking spit on you?
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?
With your face covered in goo?
In goo.
In goo.
In goo.
In goo.
In goo.
If this happened to me, well, this is what I'd do.
I'd grab a bunch of guns and I'd barricade a room.
I certainly wouldn't be, uh, outside in the rain.
Like that guy from Seinfeld.
He was totally insane.
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Did Sam Neill act again or did he disappear?
And see what you want, that movie was the shit.
And I'm not gonna say that I'm not a fan of the movie.
I'm just gonna say that I'm a fan of the movie.
The way they killed the lawyer was totally legit, so...
What would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
If a T-rex was barreling down on you?
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?
I'd probably poo.
You too.
What would you do if Jurassic Park were true?
If a T-rex Your ex was barreling down on you What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?
Jurassic Park, we're true We're true Hey, there they are.
There they are.
They're back.
They woke up.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Too many ladies.
Get out of here.
Wait by the bus.
I bored the shit out of them with my monologue.
That's why they weren't even here before.
They were like, that was horrible.
Hey, don't make fun of us in our purses.
Asshole.
