King Eddie's session with Randall, Sabrina, Kazoo

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Truth. Truth. Truth. at 1.30 what is it? 1.40 in the morning it's a lot of angles people that are living on the street and frequent the bars that my producer takes me to King Eddie Saloon you meet people that want you to share their most their brink, their breaking point they are sharing with you their moment of you are there for a spritzer you spritzer are there you are there you are there are there are there They're there for a fucking fight. And no, the man is taking me down. And so you have to politely grin and say, thank you for buying me a $2.50 drink. I know you're at the edge of your universe, but I'm just here for a thrill. And there's a cross between Baptist South and Catholicism and a bunch of wasps and a bunch of hipsters. Religion plays a big part in it. By the way, I'm not on radio. Am I here? Is this on? You're on. Is this live? I'm live on Skid Row Studios. Yeah. Wow. No, that's exciting. Just the way you say that. Yeah. I have a sexy radio voice. It's Skid Row Studios. It's kind of a, yeah. Did they ask you for a down payment on their house? I was just one of those guys, you know, asking for a free drink from you and the bar, and they just kind of, you know, just kind of brought me along. And I, well, really, I just followed them here. I saw that. You know. Free drinks? Free drinks. At a downtown LA bar bought to you by Skid Row Bumps. There you go. Well, they're, you know, I was just one of the, anyway, guys just hanging out there. These guys were kind enough to invite me in. And, you know, I actually thought it was going to be my last time, at King Eddie's, because I was worried about them changing it. It's my first time. Yeah. Well, welcome. I was worried it was going to be my last, but I wasn't there that long. Is this still on? Okay. Was either my ears popped or the microphone went out? Okay. I think I, okay. Maybe my ears popped. It's like we're at a high altitude. We're getting so high that the high altitude just popped my ears. It's like, you know, just bam. Out. And my brain is just splattered on the, anyway. The, I, you know, I'm really, I'm grateful that, you know, I just got to come along for the ride, but you're absolutely right. That's what I've experienced at the King Eddie's. The religion thing is interesting. That plays a big role down here. Why did they have like Abercrombie and Fitch bartenders? At King Eddie's. Straight out of WeHo. Yeah. Yeah. Well. But downtown. And serving the Skid Row guys. Well. I like this one's on us. Yeah. I don't know. I guess it's to give a, I don't know. These are guys who, maybe they're failed, they're failed models or something and they. Have you ever looked down at the floor? On King Eddie's? Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh no, I haven't. Which one? The bathroom floor or the regular? Oh, oh, I hear they're being shut down because. Of the bathroom. Yeah. I think the trough plays a big role. It scares the hipsters. The trough. It's like multi trough in the men's room. I can't imagine what it's like in the ladies. In the women's room. I know that's a good. I know. Do the women do, do the women deal with that too? I don't know. I mean, it would be entertaining, but not for them. But the, I always wondered, yeah, when I went in there, that, that bathroom. Well, can I say what happened in that bathroom or is that. Please. Really? Okay. They said they go till three, four in the morning. Yeah. Crazy. And who was listening to this anyway, except someone who would want to hear this kind of thing. The, the, I'm sure you would, but, uh, I went into that bathroom. There's the, you know, the, the first time I went into that bathroom was also the first time I ever got to smoke crack. Nice. Just a little bit. It was just a little bit and it was light and it was kind of cut with something I think, but it was, it was crack nonetheless. And, and, you know, the guy offered it to me. He was very kind. He was very. Uh, you know, forthright and kind of, uh, in inviting and, and he said, he said, Hey, you know, Hey, you know, you want some? And I was, you know, how could I resist? It was, it was just, I was pretty drunk, you know, I'll give you that, but, but you know, it was, where else can you get that opportunity? But the truth is that, that I, I really think that the truth is I really do think that it's, it's, it's a great place and actually the people are very, really kind and seriously, they're, they're all. They're, they're awesome. And I hope it never, I wish it would never change. I know that it's inevitable, but I, but I hope in some weird way that they, they decide, you know, like the, uh, the bar back there said he, he actually had the best advice to them that they're making money as it is. They're making money with their usual crowd, right? And, and, and, and they should keep it the way it is because they are making money the way it is. So the, this is to the, this is to the owners, the new owners. A better Yelp review. Yeah. The owners should hear this. And like hipsters come down and drop. They're like, I'll pay $7, $6 for a beer. But who needs them when. Beers are like a $1.50. Shut up. Yeah. You're like, I'll have a, a Jack and Coke. They want to pay. $2.50. They're already offering the $7. $2.50 at King Eddie Saloon, 131 East Main Street. Fifth Street. Fifth Street. East. Between. And what's great is you're on the west side, the north side of that area. You're like, oh, I am cool. You get closer. You see Fifth Street. Oh yeah. You're like, oh shit. No, that's Skid Row. And, and, and, and it's so funny when these hipsters go there and you know, they sit across from these, these old guys and they don't talk to them. You see the tents 20, 30 feet away. The tents. You see 30 feet. 30, 40 people milling about. And they have no place to sleep. One out of nine homes in America are foreclosed. And we have 20, 30,000 homeless downtown. We, we, yeah. And there's, there's over 50,000 in Los Angeles. And they come over and they buy you drinks at the King Eddie Saloon. Yes, they do. They do. They do. They do. They're that, no, they really do. They have the best heart out of anyone I've ever met in the fucking world. I mean, I don't know what the language is. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, The drinks are so cheap. No, but they do. They do. And they will talk to you, buy you drinks, hang out. There's a smoking room. If you drink and you smoke cigarettes, which kill you. It's the penalty box. That's news to people. You can go into the penalty box and sit there and look at the whole color of the bar with your drink in your hand. And smoke a cigarette made in Virginia. I'm not kidding. I've gone to these other bars, these newer bars that have popped up, and they're just obnoxious jerk-offs. I'm sorry, but this is the way. I don't know. Anyway. What did you feel as the only woman? Oh, may I introduce myself? Yes, please. Hi. Hi. Please. Who are you? I am Sabrina Haven. Meow, meow, meow. Sabrina Haven. On the mic. Live. I didn't introduce myself, by the way.

Tell me why you went to King Eddie's and why did you go without me? Because that doesn't make sense at all. Because I was looking for you. Yeah? So, yeah, I'm looking at skidroaststudios.com on the app. There's an iPhone app. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, Nerd, the Nerd podcast. Angry Nerd. Angry dorks. Angry dorks. Yeah. Like six to seven on Mondays. So I came down and hung out with you in the control room. But I get this feeling that you were on some kind of spiritual quest. And that's why you were driving around Skid Row on your motorcycle. And you had this urge to stop at King Eddie's. Yep. Why? I mentioned it before. And I felt drawn tonight to come out. It was about four. Well, that's what I'm trying to get to. What was about tonight that made you take that step? Something's going on. Tell me. Keith is a warlock. Really? Yes. You hear me? Yes, yes, yes. Okay. I have had a relationship. 15 years. Okay. It's over. Really? Yeah. A few weeks. I am moving out. Hollywood is tough alone. But it's nice to have someone have your back. And I went looking for you. My producer. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Wow, man. So I went down. Thank you. I stiffened up with one or two at King Eddie's. Right. And I came up and said hi. And there you were. Running Skid Row studio. So you started off kind of dealing with some kind of emotional roller coaster that you're going through right now. Yeah. If you pay me. Because you could have texted, you could have sent me a message or something and it would have been like, hey, Keith. Man. Yeah. I'm at the studio. Come on over. But you just showed up. So I'm like that. That's very intuitive. Because I'm a stalker. It's intuitive because I've been, you know, like once in a while I stay home. I let Nick run the show. But you showed up and here I was, you know, so that's pretty cool. It was good to see. Yeah. Yeah. Of all places, you ended up at King Eddie's. And you took me to King Eddie's. And I was there earlier. And I felt. I felt at home already. And it was. It's. You're going to get an experience at King Eddie's. Yeah. One way or another. You're going to get an experience. You're not going to get that experience at a fancy bar or someplace that's very proper or whatever. You're going to go to King Eddie's and you're going to see some shit. And that's okay. You know, like people there are very relatable. Down to earth. We got our friend here. We don't fucking know this guy. But, you know, he came to the studio and we're like, hey, we're just having a good time. You know, I have to admit, I'm not I'm not quite a regular, but I'm I'm I am a guy who loves the place. And you understand it. You and I and I and I showed up there because I love it so much. And I, you know, the reason I'm here is, you know, how else would we have met? We met because of the place. And exactly. And I might as well be one. No, but I. You could. Next time you should. You should keep delving deeper. And, you know, I'm just I'm just just like the tip of the iceberg. You should you should get even deeper. Get some of the regulars here. Get some of the get some of the guys who've been there forever. And then you have a real real show. Qumran report. They occasionally. Downtown L.A. Yeah. We also. King Eddie's seems like a metaphysical kind of like island. It could be ye olde king's head. Or Bob's frolic or or what have you. Facts is downtown a block from raising from from hundreds of homeless people. Yes. Thousands. And, you know, when you go there, if you choose to go to King Eddie's, be prepared. You you could be from the West Side and you're like, oh, I'm I'm arguing about my dart score. Yeah. From McGinty. Yeah. Go to King Eddie's. And it's it's it's right in your face. It really is. This role. You smell. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I smell that. There's a lot of you know, I mean, there's a lot of places I really think personally. I mean, again, I'm just this guy they picked up from the bar. But but I think that L.A. Has a lot of these places that are hidden and a lot of these little little little places under the surface. A lot of stuff under the surface. A lot of really interesting places. And it's people. It's important to understand those places. If you're going to say that you understand L.A., you need to know these places. Oh, yeah. Because without those places, L.A. is a total misconception. Well, they're all the bullshit. I mean, all the all the kind of the the you know, the the the front that the city has kind of put put itself up as you know, with Kim Kardashian and all that. That's really that's that's that's not L.A. But that is how the rest of America sees it. And that's pathetic. Yeah, that's pathetic. You go two miles east. And there you go. And they're stabbed. And it's a real. Well, it's the real. That's the real L.A. And and it's not it's not even about I mean, you know, I know it's gotten it's gotten safer. But but it's still interesting. And we saw and we want to keep it that way. The cops were in the store when Jeremy was buying food. Where were you buying? And outside we were being extorted. I think. Yeah, we were. We were. But, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Los Angeles is that you can go to any of the missions in Skid Row at any point in time and get food and drink and a place to stay. Right. So when you see the homeless guys and they're asked, hey, man, I just need 40 cents to get on the bus. That happens constantly. But you know, you know, those guys are just hustling. They are overflowing, though. They have more than, I mean, I've seen it where they're trying to get literally on the bus and there's too many to get on the bus to go to the shelter. They also have to register with like whatever warrants, whatever pass they have. And every time I see a homeless, I always think they just didn't fucking listen to their wife, like the guy. And there's a support system. There's a family somewhere in the back. They were like, don't smoke so much crack. Don't do this. Take care of your family. Take care of your baby. And it's a choice. To be anonymous. It's a choice to be lost. I don't think it's always that, though. Do you really think it's always that? Well, no. Once they hit it. It's not a logical choice. Once they hit the skid row, then they're like, all right, how do I find myself from here without that? I don't want to talk about that. No, no. But they hit it. They hit it. No, but they hit it after a certain amount of. Yeah. Other things. Being a former child star, there's enough alcohol to cover the pain. I can imagine whatever they're. You could have ended up there easily, right? A house. A house fire. They're gone. They're dead. He's living with that. And he's on skid row. Yeah. And he can't tell you that in the moment. He says, can I have a cigarette? Can I have a, you know, do you have 50 cents? And oftentimes it's, you know, it's tough in LA. Look at most families in the suburbs. They don't have the money. It's all on credit. Right. I'm in 7-Eleven. Pineapple. Fucking sausage biscuit for breakfast. $1.29. The guy hits me up. I'm like, I'm sorry. Can't help you. I don't have any money. It's all on card and plastic. Right. None of it's real. There's no. And they're moving into the cashless society with plastic and debit. And I oftentimes don't have it. I have $1, $3, $4, $5 for whatever I want to buy there. But I run the cart. I walk outside and I'm like. I can't help you. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's interesting. There's a. There's a. One guy downtown. Eight in Maine said, I have $27,000 stashed under a bridge somewhere. I got money. That's. I got money. I saved money. But he's not ready to enter the world. He's not ready to enter and register and rent. But that should. That's probably the exception to. The rule. The guy with $20,000 under the bridge. He might be full of shit. And. And. Right. Maybe that $20,000 exists only in his fantasies. But. Yeah. Right. There's. I mean. And. And that's the other thing, though. The mental illness. I mean. We really. I mean, if we're going to talk about homelessness, we should talk about mental. Absolutely. Which causes which? Are you screwed to go put yourself in that situation? Or does putting yourself in that situation make you screwed? Do you. You know. The. Good question. Don't touch myself. Yeah. And. And the. The. The situation can make you. Scaredness. Yeah. And being alone. Well. You know. Anyone who judge. That's why when it comes to judging it. You know. It as a. Oh, they like it that way. They're lazy. Blah, blah, blah. Well, come. Come down here. Come down there and look. Look around. Tell me. Tell me how much you think they. They. They're. They're choosing. Oh, I just want to, you know, live the life of Riley. Yeah. They're having a great time. Now, come down. I'm being sarcastic. Come down there and you see it. And you see. You see it. It's. It's an out. I was saying this before. And I didn't mean this in a way. I didn't mean this in a. In a. Degrading way. You're right. Yeah. I meant it actually in an honest way. It's like an outdoor mental institution. It's an outdoor mental asylum. And that's. It shouldn't be something you say is. You know, you shouldn't judge it. You shouldn't say, oh, that's. Well, that's. You know, screw them. No, that should be a call to. Oh, my God. This is. This is. Would you walk. Something else. This is disturbing. Down six. Right now. Would you walk east. Down six. Right now. At. I would. I would have absolutely. Well, I might. But. But. But I would know. For me, it's absolutely intimidating. Well, you'd know. I couldn't do it. Yeah. And this. And so. A female. Young woman. I've never been fucked with. But you were King Eddie. She's surrounded by five guys. She's. Not to be racist. I'm a little five foot five Irish guy. But five. Six foot black guys. All talking to you. And you held your own. Yeah. How did you do that? Were you scared? Did you just assert yourself? What did you do? I was in a contained environment. I knew my limits. I worked it. With what I had. And you did great. But to be on the streets. And to be walking through Skid Row. That is absolutely intimidating. I could not do it. I knew I'd lose my mind. If I didn't get those. It's not. And it's. It's not. And. And. And. Even if it is intimidating. I mean. I don't think it's. It's. It's. It's the most dangerous place in the world. Mainly because there's actually some great. What is intimidating about it? People. The possibility of what could happen. Who aren't. Who aren't looking to screw people. The blackness. It's not Latino. It's not white guys that like. No. Miss out in their executive little positions. And they're smoking crack now. It's. A bunch. Of black people. In their 40s. To 60s. Forgotten by society. Fought in wars. Sitting on the fucking streets. Of Los Angeles. Come straight out of South Central. Asking for a buck or two here. The. The. Ambitious ones. Sit outside of. 7-Eleven. Or. The hotels. And open the door. It's the green apple down in Skid Row. How are you doing? What do they got to fucking. Fetch it? The. White people in the west. West side. Can go to. Hollywood. Highland. They can go. In front of man's Chinese. And. Afford a costume. A Superman outfit. A Spider-Man outfit. And get five bucks a picture. These guys are sitting down going. Help me. But here's the thing is. That if you are in that area. To begin with. They look at you. And they're like. Why is this. Fucking white dudes down here. He must be fucked up. And the way that I look at it. Is like. If I'm walking through there. They're looking at me. Like. Holy shit man. This guy must be really fucked up. If he's down here. You know. And they don't fuck with me. I never have been messed with. Beyond like. Hey. Can I have 40 cents? Never. And I've walked through the. The most fucked up parts of Skid Row. In. At 4 a.m. You know. Like. It. It doesn't matter what time it is. They look at me. And they're just like. If this white fucking dude is down here. He. He. Cause there are others. He's got problems. There's always at least. There's always. It's a minority in that area. But there are others. I've seen white guys in. In. In dirty business. In dirty. Suits. Literally. Guys who looked like they came out of a. You know. Out of a. You know. Out of the stock exchange. In New York. And then came here. And then were thrown onto Skid Row. And spewed out. But if a black guy in Skid Row approaches me. I need help for a burrito. A thing. Or some gas. Or whatever. Fine. I. I. I got what's going on. But if a white guy approaches me. On like 3rd. Or Beverly. Or like Melrose. Like help. My car. My thing. I'm like. You're up to something. You're conning. Me. It seems like there's. There's a. A. A. A. A. A. Honestness. To being. Broke. On fucking Skid Row. Right. And then. There's these. Well the white guys who are on Skid Row are morons. White guys. Do you have white guilt? Jeremy. Do you suffer from. Oh. I'm. Not supposed to be here. Or do you feel different. When you're on Skid Row. And you look around. At the faces. It. Is. It's tough. Uh. The reality is that. The economy. Is dumped on. Everybody. Absolutely. Everybody. Man. Woman. There used to be good child labor downtown. In like. The uh. Sewing. And like. There's a lot of people who want that back. Oh. They want. They're. They're. They're fighting for that. They're like. Oh. The. Taiwanese. Taking all our work. Oh. God. Um. Good. On everyone that makes American jobs. Great. Fucking cheaper sewing. I also. Good on you. You. You beat us. Great. We'll pay you. Right. We love cheap stuff. Eight dollar t-shirts. Ten dollar t-shirts. Ask Mitt Romney. Right. I mean. Right. It's cheap labor. I mean. What was I not supposed to. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. All of that. Hidden. And. And the uh. The advantage. Of privilege. And being born. White. Female. Male. Upper. Thigh. Well that's a perfect uh. I mean. He's. He's like. The most. The most extreme. Example of that. That we've had. What's that sound? Is. Is that. Is that siren. Does that symbolize him? Or is that. Someone's walking into the studio. Watch out. Why does this keep going in and out? This is all on the air. Right? All of this. Oh yeah. Okay. I'm just making sure. Cause I'm. I'm still not used to this thing. This is still improv. You know. Live. Yeah. Grab a mic. This is fantastic. Right. See I. I. I knew I should have done. Radio long time ago. Oh absolutely. Cause I like. Hearing myself talk. And no one else does. But that. That's worth. Putting out there. Right? Just like most radio. I hate hearing myself talk. But I've been radio. For five years. Wow. I still won't listen. Oh no. I didn't say I'd like to hear. Played back. I'd probably vomit. On myself. If I heard it played back. I. I definitely would vomit on myself. Cause I hate the sound of my own voice. But I like hearing myself talk. When it's in my head. Right. Cause you have a lot to say. Right. Just like the schizophrenic homeless on Skid Row actually. Not so different. They have a lot to say too. But. No one has. Time to listen. I do. You do? Yeah. That's why. That's why you came to King Eddie's. That's why we're here. Yeah. That's what led us to this point. They just let us take over. Yeah. The producers. They're. They're amazing. Let's talk about Brooklyn for a minute. We're in New York City. Let's talk about Brooklyn. Well. Let's bring it home. Sure. I'm from. I'm from there. And. It's a great place. At least it was. I don't know. It can be a great place. When did you move. When did you move to Los Angeles? Moved there about four years ago. Four years ago. What part of Brooklyn? It was originally Sheepshead Bay. That's where I was born. And my family's a lot from Bensonhurst. And I lived in Park Slope. Till. From. Ninety. About eighty nine. Three. I was recently. In Park Slope. Yeah. Nice houses. Oh yeah. It's a very. Nice neighborhood. It always was a nice neighborhood. But it used to not be such a. Such a yuppie. Right. Area. It didn't used to be that way. The spillover from Williamsburg is happening. You know. That's. Oh. Well. No. No. Actually it started in Park Slope. To be. To be fair. Oh yeah. Park Slope became. Very upscale before Williamsburg. To be fair. Despite Williamsburg's. I know reputation. Right. Which is. Which is due. You know. I mean. Brooklyn's still. Cool. In a lot of ways. It's just. You know. It's almost too cool. It's too cool now. Everyone thinks it's cool. It's very cool. It's. It's hip. It's really trendy. Super trendy. There's no doubt that downtown has it's. Has that aspect too. But it's not quite. Still not quite as bad. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. As. You can't make $2,200 a month fucking paying your fucking 400 square foot apartment. Because I couldn't afford New York. I was paying $2,395 a month in the Lower East Side, 20 feet from Katz's Deli's front door for a place as big as that room that you're in right now. That's a bargain. Yeah. Well, that's Manhattan. And it's not all of New York City, to be fair, but it's spreading like a cancer. But L.A., you have room and space and time and sun. It lulls you into this. Hey, I live in the cut with the rats. I like the dirty alleys. That's where I hang out. That's cool. Well, there's a lot of cool dirty alleys. Oh, yeah. But that's what people don't give it credit for. But it's got them. But it's also got space. It depends on whether you want to live on top of one another. New York's the place to be. It's a fast city. The city sprawls for miles and miles. That's L.A. L.A. sprawls. There's back alleys and ways to cut through and shortcuts. What dark spaces other than the Hollywood Hills? The Hollywood Hills hold the ancient moors and sacrificial spots. Oh, jeez. Well, that's all. Candlelight, fucking moonlight, fucking killings of cats and shit. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I got to go there. I heard there's like... We were just talking about skin. Right. Right. Right. Right. I mean, I don't know how... No. No. No. It's like the teacher. L.A. is designed around the Masonic. Oh, yeah. In the north, you have Franklin. In the south, you have Washington. Running east to west is Sunset, Temple, Bamford, Melrose, Rosicrucians. Oh, yeah. It's... You can watch the sunset on Sunset on the Solstice. And around Beverly Hills. This is weird. This is a pyramid. Right over the Beverly Hills Police Department, there's a pyramid. Rodeo Drive. I've seen that. Yeah. And all the money, all the high-class businesses are in this pyramid. My parents had pyramids, little three, two-foot pyramids. We'd put it over fruit. It would stay forever. The fruit wouldn't spoil. They weren't an alumni. I had one freak friend who... Whatever. Whatever. I had one freak friend of my mom's who meditated. In a pyramid. And they believed that it would have these properties, this metaphysical kind of like real thing. The fairies and the elementals. They were harvesting. They tapped on... They rejected their parents' Christianity and Catholicism, organized religion. They embraced... For what? Metaphysicals. Yeah, metaphysics. Jump into... Enlightenment. Catholicism and Christianity. Everything. Everything. Everything else. Everything that was not theirs. They also embraced communism and Taoism and... What was it in Venice? Bullshit by any other name. No, in Venice, California, you used to go. Christian science or no, Hare Krishna. That's it. They give you a meal on Saturdays. It's called parasol. Venice. And they go, here, rice and beans and this. And something else. I used to live at a Krishna temple in Philadelphia. No. Who? Yeah, me. Really? Yeah. Because the only reason I stayed there is because during that time in the hardcore scene in Philadelphia, Krishna core was very big. We have a call. Oh, drop call. Oh, really? Oh, that was exciting. Oh, we have a call? Three, one, oh. Yeah. Go ahead, caller. Hi, this is me. I don't know. Jeremy told me to call. Kazoo. Kazoo Nagahama from Tim and Eric's Awesome Show. Great job. Kazoo, how you doing? Good, good. You're up late. Oh, yeah. I was working on a couple of things with these web designers over the internet. You're on the air with Keith Coogan. Do you know Keith? Yeah, famous actor from my favorite movie. Yeah. Goonies. Thank you. Thank you. Do the truffle shuffle. Well, I was born in Japan, so I don't know much about the other movies from that back time, but yeah, I know his famous movies. So I went to dinner with Kazoo last night. We went to Tate's, Tate's, Tate's. Tate's, French restaurant. Tate's. It's called Tate's. I thought it was Tate's. It was really good. Actual. Tax. That sounds French. The X isn't like pronounced. It's Tate's. The thing that I love. It's in the center of Hipsterville. Right. We had a great time. We saw some stand-up comedy. Wait, what is it right across the street from? I have no idea. I was riding. The Silver Spoon? Oh, okay. No. Well, Echo Park was. It's right across the street from the Bright Spot. That's it. That's where it is. The Bright Spot. The Bright Spot. The Bright Spot. The Bright Spot. Echo Park. Right. The Bright Spot. I was riding around in Pat Morita's Jaguar. That was very cool. Yeah, well, that was only left over from him. Very cool. I felt really cool about that, Kaz. Yeah, well, I used to go to tax with my uncle once in a while because we loved the lamb chop with the mint jam. So I wanted to go, but I don't want to go to the restaurant by myself. So I asked Jeremy if he wanted to go. Then he came. Yeah. You know, I hate to, I wanted to bring this up. I'm just, again, I'm the guest. My name's Randall, by the way. Is your Kazu? Nice to meet you. Yes, yes. Okay. I wanted to bring it up. I don't want to be, you know, I don't want to pigeonhole you or say, oh, because you're Japanese, you must know this, but I'll say it anyway. Because you're Japanese, you probably do know this. The, you know, Pan Kun. Pan Kun, the, um, the, uh, the, the chimpanzee. Yes. Oh, you do know. You know what I'm talking about? Pan Kun and James. Yes. Oh, they're just great. I just was watching them last night. Okay. Well, he, he, he came out really late in Hollywood because he suffered a lot because he, he was doing a lot of Chinese characters a long time. Really? Finally, he, he landed on Karate Kid as Japanese karate master. Before that, he was a comic in San Francisco. Ah. But he was doing a lot of Chinese. Ah. Chinese characters. Oh. Yeah. So he's, he's been around. Yeah. He's been around the block. He's been doing impressions and, uh, yeah. Yeah. He started late, but he was originally from Sacramento and he, he's interesting. His family owned a Chinese restaurant and, uh, maybe that's why people believe that he is Chinese. He was Chinese. Maybe. We're talking about a chimpanzee, just to be clear that this is a, this is an animal, a chimpanzee. Yeah. A primate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They eat the face of the human being sometimes. Right. Well, it's a, it's a delicacy in, in chimpanzee culture. No. No. Primate is human. He's, I, no. But there is a chimpanzee called Pink and he's, he's, he's, he's, he's very clever chimpanzee. Anyway, I thought I'd bring that up. I like that you brought that up. Oh, interesting. I, I don't anymore. Where were you born? I was born in Japan by my mom. My mom is half Korean and my dad is Japanese, pure Japanese. But I was born in Sapporo, famous for beer. Where did you go to school? I went to school in Japan, Tokyo for Jesuit school, but also I went to Philippine, China, Korea for international relations, whatever, study. When did you come to the States? Well, I came to the States about 15 years ago. And how many states have you visited? I don't remember a couple of states, but I only live in Southern California because of the weather. SoCal. San Diego. Officially. San Diego. San Diego. Officially, San Diego has the best weather in the whole United States. Yeah, it's a little far away from Hollywood. Kaz, other than Tim and Eric, what are some of the other things that you've been in? I'm on How I Met Your Mother as a guest star. And I did a couple of Nippon Talk. I think it's canceled already.

My first experience, as I said earlier, the radio show, I was kind of raped by two girls when I was 12 years old. And so I kind of enjoyed it. But they were Yakuza, right? Yakuza? No, it wasn't Yakuza, but the kind of bad girls at the school, you know, they have like kind of, you know, each school has a little bad boys and girls. And then two girls, beautiful and pretty, but they're a little older than I was. And then they came to me like, hey, we're going to meet up at the gymnastic gym after school. I said, well, and I went there and followed them. And they just... Are you sure they raped you? It sounds like the other way around. No, it's like in the way the guy was passive, but I enjoyed it. So they were acting out on you because they had also been assaulted or molested. So how did they court you? How did they kind of... Well, they kind of threatened me in the way they told me in the courts, like, you know, and they repeated like every week. I guess they enjoyed, I enjoyed somehow, but... So everybody won, it was mutual. I guess, yeah. I think I didn't feel really victimized, but I kind of enjoyed every week. And how old were you? I was 12. So now is this the only way you can get sexually aroused? No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. That was my first experience. But I like the kind of way, what do you call, situation, what do you call those kind of play? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I like it. You know, make a storyline and you become a character and do some stuff in a kind of kinky way. Right. But I like that sometimes. Who doesn't? Oh, yeah. Doctor and a nurse play or something like that, I guess. It's a famous. Yeah. Well, if King Eddie was any bigger, I'm sure it would have a spot for that. Yeah. Right? Yeah. A fetish spot. I wish it, you know, that would be, that would be, that's what someone should open downtown. I think that... Performing is art. Yeah. Yeah. Performing is art. There you go. That would fit on there well. There's, there's... Go ahead. You guys are doing the radio show so late. What time did you start? It's early. It's almost the witching hour. Oh, boy.

So, that's how he knew this? Yeah. Yeah. So, he must have been fascinated by our discussion then, right? All right. Here, I'm going to give you some Ghetto Boys music. Here we go. Oh. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, I can barely hear it. What about now? What? Come on, man. Come on, man. Okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, thanks, man. Yeah. Here it is, man. I just want to make sure people can hear you. All right, man. That was Wisdom Hump from fucking Seattle. Yeah. I'm a DJ. Yes, yes, you are. All right, go ahead. Are we good? How are we feeling? We've been going for an hour and 17 minutes. Where is Wisdom? He's gone. Oh, he left? He dropped Rhyme and then he dropped out? Exactly. He was done with his business. Come back, Wisdom. Come back. Wait, where's Keith? Is he sleeping? Oh, he left the building. I don't know. He's just not here right now. He'll be back. I think. Let's talk more about your animation. No, no, no. It's intriguing. Don't do that. No, no. Well. No. We can talk about animation in general, actually. Okay. If you wanted to. Anyone ever seen Allegro Non Tropo? This really relates to the last song we heard, I think, and The Last Caller very much. Yeah, let's hear it. Take off. It's an Italian film, animated film, that's kind of like Fantasia, but it's kind of like a fucking... It's a screwed up version of Fantasia. Is there like a censor here? There's no censor. There's no censor. You can say anything you want at any point in time. Great. Yeah. That's... Thank you. Good. So that's, yeah. It's a fucked up version of Fantasia, but an Italian, I guess that helps. But it's just a bunch of weird, you know, animation, but one of the best bits ever, and maybe one of the greatest animated bits, I've ever seen in my life is the Bolero number, which is to the classical theme, you know, the Bolero theme. And it's dinosaurs evolving. It's essentially the evolution of life, but it's so sick. And just look it up. Look it up. And I'll say it has a lot to do with the little monkey that fucks everything up. What are we looking at? Bolero from Allegro Non... Allegro Non... Non-Tropo. Allegro Non-Tropo. And it's the Bolero section of that. So if you look up Bolero Allegro Non-Tropo, it's B-O-L-E-R-O Allegro. A-L-L-E-B-R-O, I think. Non-Tropo. Two Ps, I think. And that's... A... It looks like... You got a call. Ooh, I love it. Did you? No, now it's gone. Apparently they weren't too interested in this. Anyway, no, I recommend it highly. That's what animation should be. That's what animation... Where animation should go. In the 70s, they seemed to... You know, they had some cool stuff like that. And now, you know, this and that. Some good things. But that was like just the pinnacle to me of some great, beautiful animation. And just, I mean, and really, it's like, you know, it's adult, but it's... It's entertaining enough that kids would love it, but it's very dark. And very... And funny, too. But in the end, just pretty dark. Better, Doug? What's that? I heard a voice. Go ahead, caller. Caller? Caller drop. No, this... No? Yeah? They're here. They're gone. I keep seeing... They're gone. Okay. They're gone. Yeah. Well, uh... You know, it seems like you guys talk about anything and everything, which is really cool. I mean, this is a free-for-all right now, right? Like, this isn't a regularly scheduled program, but we're just having fun and... Yeah, which is awesome. I mean, it's... I'm glad you came here. You got some interesting things to say. I think you talk very well on the mic. What do you think, Sabrina? We're in the studio drinking Coors right now. Say Coors again? Coors. Say Coors again? Coors? How do you say it? Coors? How do you say it? It's Coors. Coors. Say it again. Coors. Coors. It's a... Key. Well, it's a very elegant drink. You can't just say Coors. You gotta say Coors. Coors. Coors. I'm from Wyoming. Sorry. No, it's an elegant, you know, thing. But... If you could make Coors any more elegant. When you usually have the show... I'm just curious. When you usually have the show, what is there like... So then you stick to like... So then you stick to the issues. When you usually have the show, you talk about... Keith has someone very, very, very famous. And he does an interview. Really? Keith had Rodney... Rodney... Rowdy Rodney Piper? Rodney Eastman from Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4. Oh. The other week. Oh, my God. Billy motherfucking Zapka. Billy Zapka. Cobra Kai. Like, sweep the fucking leg. Skip it. That was very cool, man. Who was the other guy? I... I... I put on the girl from The Walden. We talked about the trauma station. That was fun. Yeah, that was... That was one of those heavier shows. That's a great topic. Very good. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's a nice light topic to start the night off with. This show. From... From Christmas Story. Hey. Happy New Year. Child molestation. Yeah. Love it. A Christmas Story. You guys touched on... Scotty Schwartz. Scotty Schwartz. From A Christmas Story. And what I remember him from is The Toy with Richard Pryor. Oh, The Toy. That was a fucked up movie. That... Amazing. Like, that... You could not make that movie today with the racism that is in that movie. Oh, God. Yeah. That's... He owns the black guy, right? Yeah. The kid... The white kid owns the black guy. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, watch it. I was like, this is crazy. He's like... God, he's like... No. Watch it again. I did. It's very well done. That's from like, what year is that? The Toy is genius. Richard Donner. Right? Dick Donner? That I don't know. Do you know what... Around what time? Is it late 80s? Oh, yeah. Like, 82, 83. I thought it was later than that. Or maybe... I don't know. The other movie that Scotty... 80s was a fucked up time. I loved... Kidco. Yeah. Do you remember Kidco? What? Kidco. That was the first movie I ever saw Scotty Schwartz in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he was like fucking, I don't know, 11 years old when he was in that or something. Kidco was about a kid who created a corporation based on the manure that they were giving to farmers in the area. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. But it was funny. That was the first time I saw Scotty Schwartz. I was telling you about Sonny Boy before, right? Or no, I was telling you about Sonny Boy. Keith, I was telling you about Sonny Boy, and I didn't get to tell you, Jerm, but the movie, because we were talking about Tarantino and how, anyway, the long story short, Tarantino had this thing at one of the theaters over here for, it was a tribute to David Carradine not long after he died. And David Carradine was in this film called Sonny Boy. Now- At the New Beverly, I'm sure. No, this was actually at the Silent Movie Theater, which the Cine Family. Oh, okay. Right. But it should have been- Wait, where's it located? It was the one- It's on Fairfax. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a great place, but the, that's another, yeah. The, Tarantino had this thing about Carradine, it was, and I think it was long, it was close to when he died, and the whole thing was, anyway, Sonny Boy is this film that I had seen on one late night. It was back when I was in New York, and I saw, one late night, it was three in the morning. All of a sudden, I see David Carradine in a dress on TV. Really? Yeah. Yeah. David Carradine talking to his husband. This big, burly, disgusting oaf of a guy, and they're locking this kid up in a, in a, in a, in a, in like a, I don't know, box. It was some sort of, some sort of torture, torturous thing that, putting this kid through. And it's him and, yeah, David Carradine in a dress is a woman. He's got breasts, he's, but he's, but he's got stubble. He's still a man, essentially. But he's playing a woman. He's a deep voice, everything. He's a Sunday morning tranny. But he never, they never make any reference to a tranny at all. Okay. Nothing. It's just, it's, it's just one of the characters in the film. Plays it straight, but he's a tranny. Pearl. Anyway, the movie is Sonny Boy, and I highly recommend it. I'll have to look that up. It's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. The whole thing is so twisted and wonderful. But at the end of the whole thing, the end of the, you know, after we watched it, we saw it on the, I saw, I got to see it a second time on the big screen in this show. And Quentin Tarantino interviews the star of Sonny Boy. Quentin Tarantino. That's funny. Interviews him, and he's fascinated by every word this guy says. And the star of him, by the way, is not David Carradine. David Carradine's dead. And the husband was some other character actor. And there were some other character actors in, who showed up in One Floor Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And besides them, there's this kid who was Sonny Boy. Who nobody knows. Tarantino interviews him and is on the edge of his seat talking to this kid. And the guy was having the time of his life, you know, so. That's funny. It was great. This is great.
