Transcript
- 0:11Hello and welcome to Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
- 0:14Another episode to get you going on your morning routine.
- 0:20Anyway, so we're going to talk about some weird stuff today.
- 0:22Basically I am going back to my past where it all began hosting
- 0:27karaoke. Your favorite?
- 0:30Thing I know our boss went to Egypt and somebody just died in
- 0:34Egypt, so I want to. Talk about that.
- 0:36I'm assuming a lot of people die in Egypt.
- 0:37Yes, so this was a tourist. And so I was like, oh, for a
- 0:40second, yeah. And then Shannon Elizabeth is on
- 0:42Only Fans and I want to talk about it.
- 0:44So, but first, let's talk about karaoke nights.
- 0:49I occasionally fill in for DJ Pauly, who is the DJ at a place
- 0:54called the Ponderosa here in Portland.
- 0:56And he hosts like Friday, Saturday, Wednesday, actually
- 0:59Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, they do all this stuff and they
- 1:01just started karaoke night on Wednesday and I've never filled
- 1:05in for him on Wednesdays. And I'm going to next week.
- 1:08And I started my whole like, basic radio career hosting
- 1:16karaoke. Yeah, like entertainment career
- 1:17because it wasn't on the radio, but you just started, like,
- 1:20hosting things and being in front of a microphone at this
- 1:24karaoke night. It was an interesting and
- 1:27interesting experience. So not only was it a karaoke
- 1:29night, it was a karaoke night at a biker bar in the like worst
- 1:35part of Las Vegas. It was called Bucks Tavern.
- 1:40I'm not even sure if it still exists or.
- 1:41Not yeah. There's no way it made it past
- 1:43the pandemic and the recession. I I have no karaoke experience.
- 1:46I don't like singing in front of people.
- 1:48I don't know why I got this. Job.
- 1:50Well, because the karaoke job it like it's required that you
- 1:53participate in the karaoke. Yes, yeah, it it helps to the
- 1:57singers feel more comfortable if you can fill the gaps.
- 2:00You kick it off right, but you said the vibe.
- 2:03But what happens a lot of that time is that the karaoke host
- 2:06tends to be the person that wants the karaoke the most.
- 2:10And that's always sat wrong with me.
- 2:12So you go to these karaoke bars and if nobody's singing, they're
- 2:15singing. And it's not because they want
- 2:17to inspire you to sing, It's because this is their moment.
- 2:19But that's their job. They want people that are
- 2:21outgoing, that are going to take the mic when it's dead and
- 2:24that's it is going to inspire other people either to be like,
- 2:27I cannot sit by that guy, do another song.
- 2:30Or it's like, Oh yeah, that's a good song.
- 2:32I could do something like this or.
- 2:33Definitely breaks up the monotony of like, because you
- 2:35get two or three people and they rotate.
- 2:36But I, I was not that guy and they hired me anyway.
- 2:40So I don't know what but I would do.
- 2:42I would rap because those are the only songs I knew how to
- 2:44sing. Were these rap songs like fun
- 2:47rap songs like Baby Got Back and like Rapper's Delight and stuff
- 2:50like that. And so I would rap those things
- 2:52in between. I don't even know Jessie's girl
- 2:55karaoke. Like.
- 2:57You were, You've never. Seen I've never seen you
- 2:59karaoke. Oh yeah, OK.
- 3:01Never, because I've never karaoked.
- 3:03Yeah. Well, all we do when when we
- 3:05have together been at a karaoke thing, we play our favorite game
- 3:09which is stereotype karaoke. Stereotype karaoke.
- 3:12And I'll get to that in a second, but I've never seen you
- 3:15go on stage and like, sing a song.
- 3:17I think it might blow my mind because you're so like, mild
- 3:20mannered and like, shucks. And like, nobody wants to.
- 3:24I don't want to. Nobody look at me, please.
- 3:26Yeah. And like, then to get up there
- 3:28and sing Rapper's Delight, like, I've never seen that side of you
- 3:32in my entire 20 years I've known you.
- 3:34It's nothing to write home about.
- 3:35Like it's not like I become. Oh no, I didn't think it was
- 3:37good. It's not like I can become this
- 3:39other person on stage where I'm like, I was like.
- 3:41It is Neil Diamond. That's what he said there.
- 3:43Let's go, everybody. Now it's me reading the words
- 3:46even though I know him off the screen.
- 3:48But how are you not beat red cause like?
- 3:50You're even. Getting just like Red, just
- 3:52talking about it just now, the thought of being on stage I just
- 3:55can't imagine. So I might show up with Lily hid
- 3:58in the backpack or something so I can see this.
- 4:00I'm not singing because it's open mic night and carry
- 4:02goodnight. It should hopefully have people
- 4:04filled. If not, I'm just gonna play
- 4:06songs with words and help gonna have to.
- 4:08Jump. In I will only do tone Loke.
- 4:11OK, it's the. Only one I do so stereotype
- 4:13karaoke, by the way, it's best played on a cruise ship when
- 4:17there's a variety of different individuals come together.
- 4:20You bring a a bunch of singles and you put your dollar down
- 4:24based on what the person looks like, you guess what they're
- 4:28going to sing. Stereotype karaoke.
- 4:29You stereotype the person who's on their way to the stage.
- 4:33Once they get to the stage, you're like, all right.
- 4:35This person is definitely giving me Britney Spears vibes.
- 4:39Right. And it's always like the big
- 4:40biker dude that with the two like tight shirt, like he's,
- 4:44yeah, he's always going up there to sing something ironically,
- 4:47right? But it's always something he
- 4:48knows all the words to. Yeah, it's either something
- 4:52funny or like, or he's going to blow us away like it's either
- 4:55Chris Stapleton or Barbie. Girl Chris Stapleton but like
- 4:58based on what they look like and then whoever's closer gets the
- 5:01pot and so that's what you do after a couple drinks.
- 5:03It's hilarious you do with. Shots too.
- 5:05If you want, yeah, it can get kind of spicy here and there
- 5:08because you're like, oh, I know what that person's gonna sing.
- 5:12And then you're like, oh, that was way off.
- 5:14And I just want to tell stories from my karaoke experience too,
- 5:16because like, there are so many just absurd moments from when I
- 5:20host to karaoke, like back again, Bucks Tavern in Vegas.
- 5:24And there were people that were just hammered.
- 5:26Oh sure, singing. And they would just sing the
- 5:29they thought they could sing. What's the song?
- 5:31A little Diddy. Yeah, yeah, I've.
- 5:34Heard that song from this one guy so many times.
- 5:36Like it it it. I'm left scarred by a lot of
- 5:39these songs. Just that one.
- 5:40And any Neil Diamond song, there was a guy that would come in and
- 5:44be Neil. Diamond well, you told me that
- 5:45he had his specific track, his listing on the.
- 5:48Karaoke more than. Worst and like he had like his
- 5:51own microphone that he wanted because it had a reverb on it.
- 5:54But stereotype karaoke. I'm going to throw this out at
- 5:56you because I know the answer. I know you're going to know the
- 5:58answer. OK?
- 5:59An elderly woman. Yes, an elderly.
- 6:01I'm going to say late 50s early 60s.
- 6:04So not super elderly, but withered.
- 6:07She's she's seen. A couple she's she's on her
- 6:09second marriage, you know that's fine she's got some older kids,
- 6:12maybe 1 doesn't talk to her anymore she's.
- 6:14Wearing clothes that is inappropriate for her age.
- 6:17Yes, she absolutely is. She gets up there, she puts her
- 6:20cigarette out and she starts to walk up.
- 6:23What is she singing? She is singing just like a white
- 6:27wing dumb sings a Fleetwood. I'd sing a Fleetwood or or hit
- 6:34me with your best shot. See, I was going to do a black
- 6:36velvet woman. No, that's so that's the.
- 6:39Red Velvet. Woman, right?
- 6:41Black velvet. Black velvet, Black velvet in
- 6:43that little. Butt Yeah, that's the girl
- 6:45that's wearing the cowboy hat, ironically, and too tight of
- 6:49jeans and boots that are clean. OK, well, that's.
- 6:52Black Velvet, that's how you play the game.
- 6:56Have fun. That's your next karaoke.
- 6:57In fact, come down if you're in town.
- 6:58If you're in Portland, come. Down.
- 7:00Oh no. Not but but Ponderosa.
- 7:03So our boss likes to go to Egypt.
- 7:04I don't know why. It's like the last place.
- 7:07I think second to last place on this planet.
- 7:09I want to. Go Yeah, the history is amazing.
- 7:12One of the oldest friend that I have, We have been friends since
- 7:16I was 13. So we have been friends for 31
- 7:19years. He is from Egypt, he is Egyptian
- 7:24and he says it's hell on earth and every time he had to go back
- 7:28to Egypt to visit his family, he hated it.
- 7:31Yes, and I hear like we had a I have a friend that isn't radio
- 7:36that just went to Egypt by himself, had a ball and he's
- 7:39like a white guy and like you're if you look like a tourist, like
- 7:43you're in trouble. But he said he had a great time.
- 7:46And then Scott, our boss, our old boss looks like a tourist
- 7:49too. And he always goes back.
- 7:52It's like one of his favorite places.
- 7:53So I don't know. I don't like heat.
- 7:55I don't care about pyramids and like I.
- 7:58The Egypt I care about the pyramids.
- 8:00The Egyptian history is great. Like it's fascinating.
- 8:03You can't not be somewhat interested, right, Because like
- 8:06they were the first US, they were the first civilization.
- 8:08They had like all these things and they built so many and they
- 8:11had they built a, but I want to go in one like that sounds like
- 8:14a terrible. Really be into it.
- 8:16I used to love Egypt. I used to want to go.
- 8:18I used to want to like immerse myself in it.
- 8:21But like, it's become, it's not this mystical experience that
- 8:26you think it's going to be like they, I've heard stories of
- 8:29people leaving you in the pyramids and then blackmailing
- 8:32you for more money to let you out.
- 8:34And like, people will will pull up the ladder and be like, all
- 8:37right, that's going to be an extra $20.
- 8:39And that's terrifying. I don't even want to be anywhere
- 8:42near. That I'm not saying anything
- 8:43about the culture or anything like that.
- 8:44I'm sure it's lovely, but like, you can't, you just can't trust
- 8:47people and I'm not going to go into an enclosed space where it
- 8:51could be scary for me like that. And I've seen some of the
- 8:54pictures that he posted you can go to like King Tutankhamun's
- 8:58gravesite or where they have them, but it's like all things
- 9:01enclosed in glass. It looks like it's just a
- 9:03museum. Well, what do you think?
- 9:04You're going to be able to crawl into the tomb and like I.
- 9:06Want it to still be dusty, you know, like at least be not look
- 9:08like you put in. You want it to be in.
- 9:10You want to feel like you're in the Mummy all of a sudden, like
- 9:12you pick up a tablet and you go when all the dust goes
- 9:15everywhere and you've unleashed the the ancient curse.
- 9:18Exactly. At least fake it for each each
- 9:20tourist that goes down there you have someone come in and put
- 9:22the. Dirt.
- 9:22No, because you can go to Taco Bell and look at the Sphinx
- 9:25while you're eating. I know that's how close the
- 9:28Pizza Hut is in Egypt. Like it's.
- 9:30Very like. Weird now.
- 9:32I just don't want it to be. I want it to be untouched.
- 9:34But they're in there and they've touched it.
- 9:36And so everybody, everybody's like, it's like, it's not what
- 9:39it was when you found it. And I only care if it looks like
- 9:42the way you found it you. Want to be there when it's?
- 9:44Because I could just see it in a museum.
- 9:46Like why am I going to go down 500 feet?
- 9:49Into a pyramid, but somebody died there is that what you you
- 9:52said that somebody who died in Egypt that was oh.
- 9:54Yeah, yeah. So that's where this all
- 9:55started. So yeah, there was a snake show
- 9:58and they were doing the the snake thing and he let the snake
- 10:02crawl on this guy and the guy had bit him and so he died.
- 10:05He. Died, he died.
- 10:06It was a 57 or a 57 year old guy.
- 10:09It's called some performance. But like basically they let him
- 10:13on there and the snake, the snake charmer that they had was
- 10:17a cobra. It was a cobra.
- 10:19Cobra. Yeah, that's the only cool
- 10:21looking one when you snake charmer they're.
- 10:22Like the neck of love. And yeah, so I bit him and they
- 10:25tried to get him to the hospital, but he died so.
- 10:28See it like that kind of stuff, man.
- 10:30Like the Gator shows down in like Florida where they're like
- 10:33compared to Gator like, oh, we got this little baby tigers.
- 10:38You want to see it And it's just like, no, man, I don't want to
- 10:41see that. Like I don't I've seen a snake.
- 10:43I know what it looks like. Well, you've never seen one
- 10:45dance to a flu. I don't want.
- 10:47To I know some people, this guy did, that's what.
- 10:51YouTube is for you. Go neat and then I don't have to
- 10:53spend my money there anymore. Yeah, I don't know.
- 10:56It's one of those things you're in the culture.
- 10:58If I was walking by and there was this thing, I was like that
- 11:01guys make it a snake dance. Like I don't know if I would be
- 11:03going strictly. Wouldn't be front row?
- 11:06No, it's like, I wouldn't be like, oh, I gotta go see that.
- 11:08I'd be my distance and it's definitely not crawling on me.
- 11:11You, you. Nope.
- 11:13No thank you. That's a lawsuit.
- 11:14Who? You.
- 11:15Gonna sue? Yeah, A.
- 11:16Snake. Yeah, what are you?
- 11:18Oh, he did what snakes do, Yeah. Speaking of snakes, Shannon
- 11:24Elizabeth is on Onlyfans. Oh yeah, and it's making a lot
- 11:28of older males snakes happy. So Shannon Elizabeth, obviously
- 11:33the very attractive woman who was in the American Pie, that's
- 11:36where she really got famous. She was the was she like the
- 11:39Russian exchange student? I forget which nationality.
- 11:42She was Russian. She was she Russian, It was
- 11:44Nadia or whatever. And like she takes off her top
- 11:47of that and like people lose their mind and like she was
- 11:49super, super hot. So now she's on all lengths.
- 11:51She recently divorced. I wanted to get your opinion on
- 11:54this first. I want to go.
- 11:57Yeah. When's Jennifer Lapua getting on
- 11:58there? I'm in.
- 11:59I'm in second. Yeah, OK.
- 12:02From a like to have a discussion about it.
- 12:05Sure. She is in her 50s.
- 12:08Sure. And recently got divorced,
- 12:11signed the papers next day started only fans.
- 12:14OK. What do you think?
- 12:16What what are your thoughts on that as a woman and as a
- 12:20marriage and family therapist? What do you think?
- 12:21What do you think? What are you?
- 12:23Her mindset is. Well, I don't.
- 12:24I couldn't possibly tell you what her mind.
- 12:26But that's why. But I say get that bag, honey.
- 12:28Oh no. For.
- 12:29Sure. Like, I mean, you're gonna, if
- 12:31you're gonna make money, like are you from your questioning,
- 12:35it's like, it's almost this implication of like somehow this
- 12:37will lead to the divorce or like, no, she's.
- 12:39Been wanting to. Do this and now this is like her
- 12:41free. Yeah.
- 12:42Like I'm divorced and I'm free, that kind of thing.
- 12:44That's what I feel like. It is like she was like I'm out
- 12:46of this relationship that kept me enclosed and now I'm free.
- 12:50Maybe. I mean, it's common.
- 12:53No, I mean, but I haven't I'm a marriage and family fairs.
- 12:57But so when I see people, it's they're trying to work it out.
- 12:59Yes. So like I don't see them at the
- 13:01end where like I see them post divorce, like I'm there when
- 13:05they go, I think this isn't going to work out and I go, OK,
- 13:08so we're not booking a session next week and they go no, I
- 13:11never see the aftermath. Well, that's.
- 13:12A shit I. Have no idea.
- 13:14Like a lot of these couples, like it's like I don't even know
- 13:16if they're together anymore. I have no idea.
- 13:18So I mean it. I've heard of like divorce
- 13:22parties and like people throwing themselves like epic style, like
- 13:26Bachelorette type of things and like kind of Girls Gone Wild
- 13:30esque type of adventures in Vegas.
- 13:32And it's just like if that's what you need, you know, that's
- 13:35fine. If it feels like a freedom, if
- 13:37it feels like it, that's fine with me.
- 13:39Like it's fine for the guy if he wants to do it too.
- 13:41Yeah, she made $1,000,000 in the first week.
- 13:43A. $1,000,000. Which I was.
- 13:47I was curious, like it's all people my age.
- 13:49It's got to be, it's got to be. There's no 22 year old that's
- 13:52like Shannon, this is very hard. Unless he's recently watched
- 13:56American Pie, right? It's like, oh.
- 13:57Well, she's old. He's like, I can't wait to see
- 13:59that at 50. Like, no, I mean, yeah, like
- 14:02it's all you guys. Yeah, it's us cuz that's but and
- 14:05then we've seen it. So that's why I feel like if
- 14:08Jennifer Love Hewitt did it, we may she'd.
- 14:10Be well, but only fans is also like it's you can private
- 14:15message and you could pay for things separately and so you can
- 14:18make meal wheels and deals right.
- 14:20And so you can ask for specific things so she can hold up
- 14:23today's paper. I know and and say your name at
- 14:25the same time. And it's like, yeah, pretty
- 14:28much. So like, that's pretty much of
- 14:29it. But she's saying that that's
- 14:30basically what she's she's not saying she's not doing that.
- 14:33Well, that's exactly what she's. Doing she's like, it's only
- 14:35fans, you know? That's how you make your money.
- 14:37I know like, but she could just be scantily clad, you know what
- 14:41I mean? Like a lot of people do that you
- 14:43can see. That.
- 14:43Through the Internet. I know, but that's what people
- 14:46are paying for and. Would you join Only Fans if we
- 14:48got divorced? No, if it would.
- 14:51Do you feel like I'm holding you back?
- 14:54In no, I mean would. You start doing something like
- 14:56what would your? Divorce.
- 14:57Oh, yeah, I'm going to go right to the strip club.
- 14:59Like, look at me. I'm wearing a sweater right now
- 15:02that says homebody on it. Like, do you think I'm going to
- 15:04leave my house for anything other than like, I work for a
- 15:08living? That's what I do.
- 15:10I know, but you're not going to celebrate.
- 15:11Now, like I told you this the other day, like I don't, I need
- 15:14you. I know that, yeah.
- 15:15That's why you're. Not holding me back from
- 15:17anything like and that and that this is my message for guys.
- 15:20And this is the the thesis of what I was telling Nick the
- 15:22other night. Like y'all better be start to be
- 15:25real fun to be around because US women are have taken over.
- 15:30We are the number one owner of houses like we're the number one
- 15:33selling of like single family houses.
- 15:35We we buy them as single women, like we are the most educated.
- 15:40We are graduating from college at like, stellar rates.
- 15:43Amount of, Yeah, the amount of women becoming doctors and
- 15:46having advanced degrees far suppresses men.
- 15:48We're becoming more and more prevalent in the CEO workforce.
- 15:51We still have some work to do. Like, you guys better start
- 15:54smiling more like you're not holding us back from anything
- 15:59anymore. Whatever we want to do, we're
- 16:00doing it because we're sick of asking for permission.
- 16:03We're just taking at this. Point I When I set out to find
- 16:06the one whom I would marry, I wanted someone who didn't need
- 16:09me. And I found you.
- 16:11You don't need me. And so that's that works.
- 16:13And we're going to raise a daughter that doesn't need.
- 16:16Anybody. Yeah.
- 16:16I like having you around. Yeah, but the minute I don't,
- 16:20you better Start learning a new skill like juggling.
- 16:23Or like, you better find a way to entertain me, Ponyboy.
- 16:25You better get a job. Yeah, the clock is.
