Family Trips: ANDY SAMBERG Had a Closet for a Room

Hello, Lonely Island podcast listeners. This is Seth and I have another podcast. I do it with my brother. It's called family trips with the Myers brothers, and we've been lucky enough to have your ma on and We've also been lucky enough to have Andy on, and we wanted you to give that episode a listen. It's a lot of fun.

an asshole.

Hi, poshie, I, Sufi, we've talked a little bit about Costa Rica. the boys still talking about Yosef Santiago. shout out to those guys who get our kids on the boards. nice now, posh. Alexi loves to surf.

bet, I'm gonna say you didn't even try. Oh, okay. So I did better than.

No, that's true. I think there's another thing. I'm that's happening to me, posh. What's that? You're getting a hold?

Now, do you think? You know your kids Aren't at a place yet where they could, like You know, throw a baseball back and forth with any regularity? they could not for a billion dollars, But that time will come. Do you think, when that time comes, you're gonna be like, yeah, let's have a catcher. You're gonna be like I'm gonna sit in a chair over there.

What does the thing you just described have? that surfing doesn't water, skiing doesn't you stand in the same place? No, a ball. I like a ball. I've always liked things where a ball is involved and you can keep score, and That is why I would love to play a catch.

Yeah, all the best games I feel like. I feel like the games that dad got really into when we were little. he would be Stationary. Yeah, he would even say standing in one place, games are his favorite. Yeah, and he would be all-time quarterback.

Yeah, and he would just throw socks as we can. Maybe just see a lot of shagging flies. He would. we would go out to the literally field and he would just hit balls. He would stand home play and hit balls, but that was a lot of fun.

Would you say? Oh, that's really good with no, but you could. you were serviceable on Catch, on playing catch. Thank you.

So nice.

You won most serviceable. I did. I did the little league team, didn't you yeah?

Unless it was tennis. because then they said we don't want to call you serviceable because that might lead people to think you know how to serve. Yeah, so anyway It was. it was good watching them surf. I liked it a lot.

There will come a time and you're in your kids life where they're gonna have to switch to fart. Yeah, it's already starting. You can't be in high school and be like, oh who poopoo gassed in here?

Yeah, no, you can't do that, especially if you don't know how to throw a fucking ball. Oh, But the other thing is, I was sitting next to Axel and the pilot comes on and goes if you're wondering what that smell is Volcano and I said Axel, good news. It wasn't anybody, it was, We're smelling the volcano. and Axel said also, I poopoo gassed, So actually even given the chance for having blame it on the volcano. Yeah, he's a good dude.

Yeah, I'd never, I'd never thought about that. But yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, there you go.

That's a little bit, you and we, a little bit of a geology lesson here today. Uh-huh, Um, not one I think you could take with you and apply to anything, but we're worth having in your back pocket, sure. Yeah, so, my friend, our friend Andy Sandberg. We went on a vacation with Andy Sandberg. once didn't even talk to him about it during the interview.

Wonderful trip. Yeah, summer, summer. Oh nine. I was actually just last night that with the day we got to Copenhagen, We went to a bar and there were these like cute Danish girls, and we were like, hey, what should we drink? Like, what's a good?

No way. Yeah, you had a glass of fish, mons. Were you out of everything else? No.

I started watching a Norwegian show and I wanted to drink something. That was not a clay. That was yeah, and I said started. I wanted to watch this movie, Magritte, Queen of the North. Yeah, about this Danish Queen in the 1400s, and The only thing Amazon has is a dubbed English version.

Who who wants to watch is a dubbed movie? Yeah. Yeah, More like dud dud.

He was also. he was also weirdly sick. He had like yeah, he had like flu of the brain.

Yeah, he had brain flu. Um, but anyway, one of our favorite people, Andy Samberg, is joining us today to talk about his family trips. But first let's listen to mr. Jeff Tweedy.

Chips with my.

Oh.

Hey, pal, hello.

Hello, how are you? Not like? not a day has passed, Josh.

Here we are with Andy Samberg now, Andy Yeah, you and I have a different podcast from this one. It premiered yesterday. It's called the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast, And one of the things you say in almost every episode is how little you respect the art form of podcasts.

That's right. You don't care for them at all.

No, you low-key hate that. you're doing one at all times and you're super bummed to be a guest on this one.

Correct across the board, but I'm glad to be lining your pockets, Meyers brothers.

Texted me an hour ago. So wait, do I have to talk about a trip? Yeah, and no response, by the way. Well, we were doing. we were recording another one.

Dame, Julie Andrews. Look, I looked up the titles of all the other ones and saw that, like, you know, Mulaney had a mishap or something. I don't know what you guys call these. Thanks for looking at the title. Yeah, like, you know, Ike Barinholtz clogged a toilet.

Look, here's how we're gonna start with this. Okay, One of the things I like about you and I genuinely think it's made you kind of what a solid dude. You are two older sisters. true, how much older? true, three and six years older.

Yes, I mean my eldest sister, the six years older, was going through Teen years and college years and stuff when I was still kind of a dinky doodle. I think that's the medical term a dinky doodle. Yeah. So we connected a lot when we were little kids and then she was sort of off doing her own thing. And then we have connected more now as adults with kids, and then my, the middle child, my sister Darrow.

You are, I feel. obviously I'm on this podcast with my younger brother. I feel like you sort of have a consummate. younger brother, vibe to you.

Yeah, and I think that's probably what has made our friendship.

Flourish, right? Yeah, I think it's good. I think you would never really outgrew dinky-doodle hood.

But that's that, that's that youngest sibling you like. yeah, irritating, but you're noticing me. I exist. Yeah, Josh.

You know what? I'm talking about. Yeah, that's pretty much. Those are my mood.

You're so much more like stoic than me, though, as a younger sib, Is it cuz? there's just two of you guys you had like more of a firm place in the universe. I think that's true.

I don't know. perhaps I mean I was very much a Like. I was, I was a crier. Mmm. I was a.

I think you can say that this days, Yeah.

This is gonna sound like a bit, but there was a split second when you said you were a crier and I was imagining like a town crier.

Well, that's like what where did you guys grow up? this is, but this is a true story, Josh. also, I'm not also doing a bit. My dad's nickname for Josh was the town crier cuz. Josh used to also run into a room and announce that thing.

Josh was. I was also called radio because I would, I think, also just report on things that were going and the movie radio is.

Based on you.

Yes, Keep it getting junior. I mean he does a great. It was a very unkind.

I think when you look at Josh now, you see how he played radio. I think it was unkind.

Wait, so I just a backtrack. you would see a mouse like you guys have, mice.

We. yeah, what nice. but they sort of announcements. Yeah, there would be a lot of like. he would run in and say like I tip something over.

You knock something over. Yeah, right.

Radio silence. I'm gonna go. it was called radio silence when he knocked something off. So he'd be like 1025 a.m. And Seth knocked something over.

If anyone's wondering if my old brother Seth got into some trouble this morning.

Made blast limp biscuit. Yeah, now. All right, so you're. you grow up in the Bay Area. Oh, My god, Andy's taking the longest sip of coffee.

So the mug is a special gift for my dear friend Akiva. Oh, it's lovely. Mm-hmm Skywalker. what's good sound, sound you sound. he got to go up there to mix Rescue Rangers.

Did you take? were you a family trips family?

We would do some trips, not a ton.

We weren't exactly flush. Your dad was a photographer, your mom a teacher. That's right. Sounds like you would have been rolling in it.

A shout out. mom and dad. Love you guys. Love you guys. Thank you for all that you did.

And you'd go for a whole summer. Would you get like a little, a little cabin, a little spot on the beach, a little cabin there?

it was literally called Uncle Bob's cabin. great, and You know. you get your boogie board on. You go to the Parkside Cafe, get a little burger, get a little hot dog. You know, you go to the local library, read every Garfield book.

Would you check it out or would you just read in the library?

Well, it started off as in the library, and I realize now my mom was smart. She'd be like There's a little piece of trash. I'm just gonna sit him down in the library. He's gonna read Garfield for the next three hours straight on the floor like an orphan.

I do remember being right. We rented a house once and there were old comics like old Uncles, like Scrooge McDuck comics, which are really great. And because there are a lot of like, They're like Tintin comics. There's a lot of like world traveling and felt like Indiana Jones II and I just would sit in a hot room in a beach house and just read comics all day.

I would those Tintin books. I also got into on these exact same trips, Garf's and Tintin's and Looking back on it, Tintin is like is it for kids? I don't know if it's for kids.

I will say I loved it very much and I think maybe 20% probably don't have a super problematic drawing.

Exactly, you gotta want. you definitely want to count of three, count of three favorite character one, two, three, Captain Haddock.

Of course it said you definitely want to read the Tintin books where he stays in Europe, if you can guess what I mean.

Yeah, I wasn't a comic guy. Seth would. Seth would be reading his comics, I'd be Digging around in the, in the dirt for worms, or yeah. Yeah?

Looking for, though, is Tintin's more of a graphic, long, long book. Yeah, it's so tall, more so than Garfield, for sure.

But I will say those I remember there are some special Garfield. I went to get a Scrooge McDuck book for the kids and I picked it up and it was way more Tintin to Garfield. those books as well, There are a lot of like. the voice bubbles are super dense. Got it.

You're talking about the novelization of the movie Scrooge. Yeah.

Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors.

Go.

Hey, do you remember the story about when you played Scrooge McDuck at update?

What's the story of it?

You did Scrooge McDuck and it dress. you had a joke about diving into a pile of money. That worked and an air. It's the biggest gap between how a joke went. It was radio silence.

You're dressed like a fucking duck. you're like, ah, here comes the, here comes the clincher.

I think you're like a pile of money and I was like, huh, I Think I did. Australia do Scrooge McDuck Duke. Can you, cold, give me a cold read of you?

When I'm with my nephews.

That's my guess. so, All right, so you're in a library, you're reading, and are you excited when you guys go on these trips? Are you the kind of kiddies like yes vacation? Oh, yeah, super psyched to go to the beach knowing.

It's gonna be like a free-for-all. I'm gonna get my garf on, I'm gonna watch Captain Haddock. Just cuss his ass off.

How did, how did Mel travel? were you guys? I feel like you were a station wagon fam. We had a Volvo station wagon.

I mean I would barf every time windy road there and we had the Volvo station wagon Way back seat that faces backwards. Yep. Mm-hmm and I Notoriously would get nauseous. Still, by the way, yeah, and I think at a certain point they were like and he's gonna throw up no matter what. So let's put him in the barf seat.

I want to say 45 to an hour. Yeah, now was it so Ominous your knowledge about the upcoming barfing that you dreaded that part of it or did yes. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah, but not so much that I didn't want to go, because I knew, once we were there, I would be happy. Yeah.

Yeah, and you also said like you'd go for the summer. Would you sort of drive that 45 minutes and you wouldn't go back to? Oakland or Berkeley for the rest of the summer? Maybe you would skip those trips for the obvious reason. to me.

Uh-huh, but for me, you know when you're young it that seems like ten years.

Was there any fear in the water that those seals would be?

Bumping into you. Well, it's funny. You should ask they don't bump in you, but I've had, like multiple instances, some of the greatest moments of my life of Like floating on a boogie board as the Sun was setting and then, like a little seal pup pops its head up and stares right at you from like four feet away and you're like.

Hi, Wow,

What a beautiful and magical universe. and then it like pops back down, and it's honestly.

Feels like a bluey episode or something. Yeah, I think of any. I mean best possible Animal to make eye contact with seal.

Seal? probably. Yeah, and I've been told by multiple people. They think that's possibly my spirit animal is the seal.

I would, I would seal you. I would, I would go seal. you've talked to multiple people who said

Yeah, seal is your. yeah, where are you coming across these people? They're mostly seal experts. I.

was gonna say my. my Stereotype of Berkeley is that's mostly what people are talking about. Yeah, like who your spirit is.

Yeah, my god, Seth, you would get so banked on at my high school. You have no idea.

I do think of Berkeley is hippie-dippie, but it is you guys went to like a hardcore school.

Yeah, I would say in moments, hardcore. Yeah, in moments, certainly. compared to experiences of some of my friends that I've talked to, I didn't realize that at the time, But yeah, there was some. there's a lot of fighting and stuff.

I Was waiting for you guys to finish talking because I didn't want to interrupt you, but I had something to say, and then we kind Of moved on away from the big hill. So I'm just gonna go back and be impressed, like I came up with it at the time. So on those drives to the beach, would you say your mantra is got a barf to get to the garf?

Can we cut that in? we can take that piece and cut it. we're gonna run it the way it, the way it showed up.

Hey, How much of the comedy you've written over your life? Would you say what percentage of it is barfing and diarrhea?

I would say like.

Five percent four and a half. Oh, I would have thought higher.

I mean in my defense at the show, a few of my barf things were not written by me.

Yeah, I could see wanting to write something that's barf based and being like who are we gonna put in this true and then like well?

Yeah, I had sort of like made it clear. I was down to clown in that regard. your spirit bodily fluid is barf.

Hmm,

Barfing, or actual barf at all, like it bums me out. No, there's something in my brain where I can separate it. Sorry, I know you were being sarcastic, Josh, but yeah, just I just want to make it clear, though, because since I do, You know, deploy it for comedy, as Seth hates. Yeah, There's something about seeing it like in, like, you know Monty Python or something that doesn't give me the squicks the same way, right, real barf stuff does, yeah.

The cartoony version of it I find funny, but no other version. every time ash my oldest has seen someone barf, he's barfed.

Barf domino. When's the last time you threw up Seth? I feel like you never throw up.

No, I haven't thrown up in forever.

Like you drink well, used to. now we don't have time, But you would drink a lot. You would sleep for three hours, then wake up and work out and then I would see you like 20 hours later.

I've thrown up from being sick, but I've never thrown up from drinking, right, Josh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, younger.

Yeah, yeah, we're sensitive. It's also like I was yeah, you're gonna. It's a good. it's a good move. you tell you get better.

I ever got drunk. I threw up. Yeah, same same boons, Strawberry Hill.

That'll do it. That'll do it tomorrow.

If you drink that. it was pretty good, though, when you go in your summer trips, where does you have two older sisters? Where do you stay? Do you get your own room? Cuz, you're the soul boy?

No, there was a bunk bed. There is a story that is famous within the five members of my family, Which is, I was on the top bunk of the bunk bed. I think this is pretty common, but at the time we thought it was insane, where I was sleeping on the top bunk of the bunk bed and Apparently in the night rolled out and fell hard from high up off the bunk bed with my blanket and Was still asleep, never woke up and my mom came in in the morning and saw me just on the floor. She's like.

Yeah, Was your sister in the lower bunk as that was happening? Yeah. Yeah, it's. I mean, it's the same thing as being in a.

Station wagon facing backwards. That is not. Okay, the fact that there were bunk beds without.

rails, oh.

Yeah is nuts.

Also, and when you're the youngest and the smallest, just proven over and over, you kind of get just like, shoved into whatever corner is available. Yeah, Like, at a certain point I moved out of, we were all three in one room together, and that a certain point they were like Hey, we don't want him in our room anymore. He's a boy. and And I was like what? And they gave me my own room I'm making air quotes, which I was so hyped about and then I realized years later, was a closet.

But when you're small.

There's something to be said for a closet. I was stoked. I was in there with my hamster and my tin tins.

You traveled with your dog when you would take him out to the beach.

Yeah, are you gonna ask if he would get like a bright pink boner in the backseat?

It's amazing for somebody who doesn't like podcasts at all. you're doing a great job of hosting and being a guest at the same time.

I'm steamer, only I'm telling you. It's this jibbity job, man.

He got some of it.

Was he good? Was he a good guest? What kind of dog? Did you guys have no clue? Really?

Okay, was that his whole name or did he have like a longer name? Was he Melvin? Oh?

No, just Mel. Yeah, I thought you meant like Mel Torme or something.

Did you have it could have it. that also would be a longer name, one, but one word.

Did you have more dogs, or was the Mel the only dog you guys ever had? Mel was the only one got it.

But I I have a lot of issues around Mel, because I loved Mel, but I was again the youngest. So I sort of was born into a life of taking care of a dog that I had no choice in getting. Yeah, Mm-hmm, and then, at a certain point, my sisters were gone and me and Mel remained.

Was Mel already part of the family when you were born? I think I think they got Mel when I was a baby.

Okay, gotcha. So we kind of came around the same time.

But you didn't. you never felt like he was your dog exactly. it's. that's the same thing with my kid cuz. we had And I'm loath to bring her up, but we had frisbee first, our dog frisbee.

Yeah, they think frisbee is like rotten.

They just kind of think she doesn't bring much to the table and.

They think that she looks like sort of like the middle of that fast motion raccoon carcass Video from the Nine Inch Nails video like like sort towards the tail end of the decomposition.

Yeah, they most involved. my kids almost describe everything in regards to that. Nine Inch Nails video.

Is it a raccoon or is it a fox or a fox?

Is that the impression Fred Armisen does, an impression of a fox decomposing?

Really?

That's how Fred gets gets impressions that aren't well trod. how great to have a friend who'll be like hey, um.

This is a fox decomposing like you're just hanging out. It's not for anything, but you.

So, did you? did you guys ever take any? did you fly anywhere ever? do you have any trips that we flew to Florida?

We flew to Florida. Is that great to see grandparents, no, no Disney. my family never Disney'd All right. I didn't Disneyland in LA until I was in high school and I went with friends.

So grandparents in Florida. whereabouts in Florida.

Sarasota, I want to say and were those trips fun? They were pretty fun. I mean, that's when I first learned about Publix with an ex, The supermarket grocery chain, yeah.

That was pretty much the main takeaway. I think I will say I do also remember that about going like when you went to Somewhere other than your home and went to a grocery store. It was weirdly exciting because you felt like you're like, why isn't it Safeway? But also you've got to build the food from ground up. You got to be there with your parents and just say I know we're only here for a few days.

Yeah, was there a sweet cereal you guys were allowed to have. we had I never.

I don't like cereal to this day.

Yeah, Rice Krispies, not really sweet cereal. No, that's a joke. Yeah, I like those. I feel like we'd go to camp and we'd get those little boxes. Yeah, there's like.

You know. and then rashers. I liked a few rashers in general. just an English, a full English breakfast.

Yeah, you're like. I want the big messy grilled tomato. Yep.

My mom God lover, figured out how to make blood pudding.

At the campsite.

Were you a camping family?

We camped a few times. I remember it being good. I Don't have a lot of really distinct memories of it, though.

Did you have like a big tent that you would all be in or do multiple tents?

I feel like we had to have had one big tent, and did they install a small tent closet for you?

They just put me in the cooler.

Shit, I think most, I think most children have that memory.

Yeah, and then now, you know, when I try and put a tent together, I realize what he was going through and I have a lot of sympathy.

It sucks. It sucks a lot you and I bet it's. I bet it's easier for us than it was for them, based on tech.

Improving. Yeah, no YouTube videos. back then. Exactly.

Yeah, I also, when I get to a campground now I will set up a chair first, Mm-hmm, and I will sit in the chair and I will like look at the instructions for the tent. and I feel like Most mistakes are made because people just launch right into it. Yes, and it's just a great way to make it.

But I've been there with Josh and what he's leaving out is when he sets up the chair. He's like, ah, fuck, The chair is a tough setup. The chair is a really tough setup. The chair's got a bunch of moving parts.

You know, you asked if we ever would fly. we did fly to New York. My both my parents and their families are from New York. So we went to New York as well, a few times To the city, to the city. Yeah, that's exciting.

Northwestern UConn Basketball tournament game. I think that's a basketball tournament game. I went to the NCAA tournament in Brooklyn, Northwestern, my alma mater played UConn and they were cutting around people in the stands that I was like, here he goes. They're gonna cut to me, Mr. Fit, mr.

My god, we've been through that. then we meet Kevin You are went to a Dodger game kind of recently and they were like we're gonna cut, you guys are like awesome. And then we realized like not only were we early in the order of who they were cutting to, but like there was like three other times out of commercial that they cut to bigger and bigger By the time it got to Will Ferrell and the whole stadium went fucking apeshit. we were like, oh man, We were pretty early in the rundown.

Top of the second.

Um.

Did you ever go to like summer camp? Oh,

Yeah, okay, cuz that you have like a regular one that you went every year. Yes,

Well, first I started off. before that. I went to a sleepaway one-week soccer camp. one of the most embarrassing moments of my childhood was. we arrived there with a friend of mine and We liked there's like a little like rules and regulations, manual for the campers, And they were like for the first big, you know, assembly in the gym, everyone wear your camp uniform, And it was like this dumpy t-shirt and the shortest short shorts you can imagine.

Do you have that picture? is there sort of a welcome to camp picture that you're just yeah.

I'm sure it's. I'm sure it exists somewhere. Yeah, but if I ever had it, I'm sure I burned it.

Yeah, if anyone listening has a copy of it that you were at camp with Andy Sandberg, please Send it our way.

Maybe you don't. even you like I. you didn't even know his Andy cuz. he was just a kid then. but now you're thinking wait, I got a picture where it's everybody and there's two dinky doodles.

Yeah, yeah, everyone who went to a soccer camp for one week in the Bay Area and they have dinky doodle aged photos.

That's tough to get off to a a bad start at a week-long camp and it was co-ed, too.

So we were definitely crushing on girls and stuff and it was like, oh, yeah, you guys are the fucking loser.

Well, at least you made a name for yourselves, yeah, we were like rules and regulations everyone.

In Yosemite, near Bass Lake. Oh, man, and I started off as a camper there. I was a camper for five years, Starting it. I want to say age 12, and then I became junior staff and then I was a full counselor there as well.

So I have a question for you. you loved camp, that loved it. do you still have friends from camp? I do. I Feel like that's true of everybody.

Yeah, I, if my kids really wanted to, I wouldn't want to deprive them of that, because it was so formative for me, like I really feel like I was able to Figure out who I was outside of, like the intensity of public school, Yeah, And that dynamic, what going to summer camp is being like. oh, and when I'm here, just kind of on my own and with people I find, people I get along with, and this is who I want to be and right, a lot of that was, by the way, Performing, you know, I ended up being Obnoxiously.

Etc. I. was that like a four-week camp, or was it all? it was at eight. Was it four?

Cool, cool is shit. counselor. I think a lot of the stuff that was going on is not happening now. like, I think, just like insurance wise and that sort of thing, like we were still on the tail end of the sort of 70s and 80s version of summer camp. It was right before the the major legal shift happened.

And how wonderful. I actually think I don't haven't been properly taught canoe.

Is that where you had your strawberry boons? was it a camp? No, no, that was junior high. that was just around my neighborhood. What were the counselors drinking at camp?

I want to say schnapps, Great. Mm-hmm. There was like peppermint schnapps in hot chocolate thermos, stuff happening. That's good. That's good camp camp.

Still yummy. Yeah. Yeah, but then also, like you're sitting around a fire with some probably campers, and you're like I'm just sipping on this and you can't crack a beer. Yes. Yes.

Yes, I do want to say I think most of the drinking and stuff happened when counselors were not On duty, like even if it was like, oh, the kids are all asleep in the cabin. now I'm gonna go do it or I have my one day off a week. So we're gonna go rage by the lake.

funny how I feel like. the downside of where we grew up as far as rules and Regulations was that we were driving around without seatbelts and rolling off the top of bunk beds, But the upside is that we got to rock and roll.

At things like camp. Mm-hmm. There was definitely SoCo also. Oh, yes. Okay.

That's a bad. That's a that. that's not something I'd order today. No, a lot of acoustic guitar.

SoCo.

remember one of the first. one of the first times a couple of my buddies drank an Older sister of theirs, bought them stuff and, like, made a list of all these like drinks They can make with these ingredients, and one of them was a slow, Uncomfortable screw, and it had Southern Comfort, slow gin, Like orange juice. probably you. yeah, I don't know, but it was like both of those dudes couldn't stop throwing up.

It was a terrible, terrible. It was called a slow, uncomfortable screw.

Yeah, the drink was called a slow, uncomfortable screw, and what a nightmare. and Matt Coburn and Chuck Lansbury had a rough go.

Now, Andy, did you, because I feel like you have a. I've always had very good Radar for things that suck. Thank you. And my question is did you add, even a young age? Know that it sucked when someone took out a guitar at a campfire.

Would say It was song dependent. Okay, you know what I mean? Like. there was a lot of like, Steve Miller.

Right, like you, love her or whatever this day.

Had obviously had a year at high school where I loved Steve Miller band.

I mean best is Steve Miller. I would argue I probably had a two-year run where I listen to it almost all the time or like leave it a lot of.

Leave it on a jet plane. Yeah, Cat Stevens, father and son, Like a lot of that stuff. I would say I was kind of in it. I was kind of in it. I just sort of gave my snobbiness over to the vibe of summer camp stuff.

I will say the there's no. again, if I could give any advice to people that age, I would say just turn your snob off the light. turn your snob. turn your snob off, save it. save it for later time.

Just we close that snob faucet.

No girl at the campfire wants to hear you explain why this thing she likes actually stinks. It's true.

Although now, because of Barbie, Playing guitar at a campfire correctly is kind of lame, and I just saw some commercial ripped it off. Yeah, which again so annoying. when commercials do that? They just straight-up take a thing from a thing and go look at this thing. We came up with Like.

Well, you have another podcast where you go at commercials pretty hard, right? The one that I just do alone. Yeah.

Yeah, no guests, no guests, just me ranting on commercies.

But you don't have the rights to any of the commercials. So you have to describe them. You can never play them. Exactly.

Yes, it's a hard like where's the beef? and I'm like da fuck. Anyway, thanks for tuning in or whatever this is.

The real bummer is, it's almost impossible to get ads for your podcast because everybody's like. I feel like he's just gonna crap all over.

And then every time I try and read one, I end up sort of deconstructing it while I'm reading the thing.

Have you taken your?

Parents on any trips. as an adult. I haven't taken them specifically. I did that PBS show finding your roots. Yeah, you know, you know this well, shout out to Henry Louis Gates.

I.

Mean. you just did you take them on a trip? I feel like the occasion is like now that you're a grown-up and you have job.

I should. you're right. I should have said did you go on a trip with you? So this is, I want to say, and it's a really. my episode is super boring.

Yes, I mean when we went to the town, especially.

Cuz, did you encounter any family? Do? were you trying to sort of find connections? Not any like relatives, but people who knew?

Members of our. I was gonna say her, but I'm her son. So our family. Yeah and like, showed us where.

Her family had lived, you know, how young was she when she was adopted, baby? Yeah, so sure. That's crazy. What a thing in New York. and so and this is the thing I mean, I think it's very cool.

Know, I don't like to talk about too much. I mean, I'm doing this podcast. So I'm cooked, but

Incredible and a huge relief. and then I found out our great uncle Joe was the Zodiac killer.

No, you did not.

He, I still think Josh still thinks yeah, but I'm like it would have come up. He was weird. He was a weird guy and you always wrote notes in like weird codes.

We've been incredible. if they're finding your roots finally crap. when you got a card, when you got a card from uncle Joe, You were really like. I don't want to open it. Yeah, I felt like if anyone was gonna figure out who it was.

It'd be Gyllenhaal.

Yeah,

Yeah,

You know, I mean that would have been a real if Gyllenhaal did it and found out his he was related to the Zodiac killer.

That would have been real. talk about a twist ending. Yeah, I just felt drawn to this part. I just really I Needed to know my father.

How many times did you see the first Roadhouse? I'm gonna say at least ten. I think that's right.

I would say it was on cable a lot when I was younger. Yeah, I had a college roommate and we think Roadhouse Made him go crazy Because he watched it so many times in a row and it was right before finals and he then he like, just disappeared and he withdrew from school and Had to, like, retake his senior year and we think Roadhouse broke his brain. We could like. he really was watching it like on a loop.

And do you think he just loved the movie or was he just like sitting there waiting for the bone scene a?

Bit of the little from colony little. I think I know he told. I know he told the Dean. he just kind of couldn't stop Watching it, but we think.

Yeah, So we should call the Dean is what you're saying.

I think let's check in, and now it's time for a new segment. checking in with the Dean.

Look, Everyone takes for granted now that we know about all the different ways to do crazy sex. But when we were younger, Roadhouse introduced the concept to a lot of people of.

Having sex up against a wall. Yeah, sure. I think at our age. We only thought of walls as sort of ways to divide rooms.

Mm-hmm, and then all of a sudden we're like, whoa. Hello, not, yeah, not something to like. smash on while your knees get all shaky.

Unless you're as strong as Swayze, Swayze has no, no trouble.

He didn't have shaking knees, but trust me, if they had panned down on Swayze, those knees were knocking.

But it wasn't Swayze right. Swayze wasn't a wall pound.

No, Swayze was wall pound. Yeah, there's, we're talking face-to-face on. Alright, I'm thinking of a different scene. You're talking about from behind, in the closet, with all the kegs and stuff.

Hey, I was thinking about that at double douche, I didn't know. I didn't know that. uh, closets, That was the first time I saw closets that way.

Also, then he gets fired. he fires him for having sex on the job. Yeah, he does. you can't do it in a way.

Real. but again at least we're spoiling the old one and not the new one. Yeah, I'm sure it has all those scenes. It's not like a reboot. It's super fun.

So don't feel like you're getting grilled or anything. Okay, this is like the questionnaire of your thing. Yeah.

Yeah, you can only pick one of these. What's your ideal vacation relaxing, adventurous or educational?

relaxing.

What is your favorite means of transportation? train, plane, automobile, boat, bike, walking? I love a train.

But generally that's not a viable option to go where you want to go. if a trains available, I'll go train. If not, I think plane great.
