• 0:09
  Hello and welcome to the Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
• 0:12
  I'm Nick, that's Kristen. For reference, we're married and
• 0:14
  we have a 7 year old daughter that's all out of the way, but
• 0:17
  I'd like to take a second and observe the national anthem of
• 0:22
  our country in the most amazing way possible, through whistle.
• 0:27
  Four time Whistling Champion and member of the Whistling Hall of
• 0:31
  Fame, Chris Ullman, who will now honor our nation with his
• 0:35
  rendition of our Star Spangled Banner.
• 0:37
  He loves whistling. Move over Whitney Houston and
• 1:56
  Chris Stapleton, we have a brand new perfect national anthem.
• 2:00
  I, I mean, it's impressive, right?
• 2:02
  It's, it's like on some level you're like, damn, that's kind
• 2:06
  of cool that you know how to whistle like that 'cause he was
• 2:08
  hitting the notes. It wasn't just a like.
• 2:12
  Yeah, I mean, OK, so if you, if you're new to the Kristen side
• 2:16
  of this podcast, you know that there's nothing I hate more than
• 2:18
  a Whistler. I hate people who whistle down
• 2:21
  the street in locker rooms at grocery stores.
• 2:25
  It's a hey, look at me trait that I cannot stand.
• 2:28
  You think you can whistle good, fine.
• 2:30
  It's the most useless skill that there's ever was.
• 2:34
  I can whistle fine. I don't need to show anybody
• 2:37
  that I can whistle. It's it's like snapping.
• 2:40
  Great. It's like, OK, it's.
• 2:42
  Also impressive, yeah. Cool.
• 2:45
  Great. Yeah, OK, sure.
• 2:48
  But it's yes. And I'm sure it's great.
• 2:50
  But the fact that there's a whistling Hall of Fame, we
• 2:53
  interviewed Thomas Rhett a while back and he has a like a whistle
• 2:58
  in one of his songs. And we and we asked him, we're
• 3:00
  like, how did you? Is there like somebody like a
• 3:03
  professional Whistler that you had to call?
• 3:04
  And he was like, oh, yeah. Like in Nashville, there's like
• 3:07
  the Whistler and you get and you get him on your, your, your
• 3:11
  songs or whatever. And I'm just like, what is that
• 3:14
  life like? Like, are they steaming their
• 3:16
  throats like you see people on Broadway do?
• 3:18
  Is he warming up like I? Would imagine you got to warm up
• 3:23
  like you. Got to do the scales right?
• 3:25
  Like OK but like also whistling is a musical thing so like can
• 3:29
  you sing? Maybe, maybe not.
• 3:31
  Make it as a singer. What are we doing here?
• 3:34
  I imagine they have to wet their lips lips a lot like.
• 3:38
  Excuse me, hold on, I need to put some more chapstick on for
• 3:41
  my whistling lips. Didn't.
• 3:42
  We hear he was like insufferable, like the Whistler.
• 3:44
  What do? We hear that, Thomas Red said.
• 3:46
  He was, like, difficult to work with.
• 3:47
  Yeah, we were like. The hire another Whistler.
• 3:49
  You're a Whistler. Yeah, and then while we
• 3:52
  interviewed Max Mcnown too, who's an up and coming country
• 3:55
  artist and he's a Whistler, but he's like, I think he just likes
• 3:59
  to whistle. I don't think he's, I don't
• 4:00
  think he holds himself to like a whistling like.
• 4:03
  Sure. Yeah, And label file that under
• 4:06
  special skills, you know what I mean?
• 4:07
  Like that's not the top of the resume.
• 4:10
  It is for this guy. He's the Whistler.
• 4:11
  So and so professional Whistler Hall of Fame Whistler like is
• 4:14
  there Musk? Is there much competition?
• 4:16
  There must. Be there's.
• 4:17
  Probably a whistle fame for whistlers.
• 4:19
  Yeah, I just thought I'd I'd play it.
• 4:20
  'Cause I know how much, you know, you, you know how to get
• 4:22
  under my skin. The fact that he was jazzing it
• 4:24
  up, it's like, all right, yeah. So yeah, when I heard that, I
• 4:27
  was like, oh. Traditional national land
• 4:29
  What's. It are they called runs?
• 4:30
  What's it? Called like trills or runs or
• 4:32
  something. Okay.
• 4:33
  Impressed. I can't whistle or sing.
• 4:34
  So I'm impressed by all the talent you are into, like
• 4:38
  memoirs and a lot of celebrity memoirs.
• 4:40
  And we're in the era of our era of memoirs, like all the people
• 4:43
  that we grew up with, 90s, early 2000s are putting out memoirs
• 4:47
  'cause we're all old now. And I don't know how much you I
• 4:50
  don't think you got into girls at all.
• 4:52
  No, but I've heard of the whole Lena Dunham.
• 4:54
  Yeah. So I wanted to talk about the
• 4:55
  Lena Dunham thing because it's everyone's kind of talking about
• 4:58
  it now and she mentions one of your favorite people, Adam
• 5:02
  Driver, and not in good, like not in good light.
• 5:06
  So I don't know if you've heard any of this, but he, she, the
• 5:09
  brief snippet I got was this line.
• 5:12
  So she says when he walks into the Girls audition room he looks
• 5:16
  like a reanimated corpse in a silent film.
• 5:18
  He shies away from small talk and during his first sex scene
• 5:21
  with Dunham, he ignores the plan blocking and then takes offence
• 5:24
  when she tries to surprise him with a birthday cake.
• 5:27
  But he hurls the chair during filming and other things too.
• 5:30
  And at one point she alludes to an almost hook up while his
• 5:32
  girlfriend is out of town. Does that sound bad to you as an
• 5:36
  Adam? Driver.
• 5:36
  Yeah. So like, I like Adam Driver, but
• 5:39
  I am under no impression that he's a nice guy.
• 5:43
  Like I don't look at him and go, Oh my God, I would love to be
• 5:46
  with Adam Driver. Like he's not like an Chris
• 5:49
  Evans. We were like, I bet he's so much
• 5:50
  fun to be around. Yeah.
• 5:51
  Like he seems like a Captain America guy.
• 5:53
  Yeah, he's always laughing and being jovial.
• 5:56
  Like Adam Driver is a great actor and that's all I want him
• 6:00
  for. Well.
• 6:01
  Well, you think he's attractive? He's.
• 6:02
  I think he's attractive because there's like a like an intensity
• 6:05
  about him and what she's what she's describing is that
• 6:07
  intensity. I think Kristen Stewart came out
• 6:11
  a while back and talked about the entitled male actor, how
• 6:16
  like these guys are method actors and how like women don't
• 6:20
  aren't afforded opportunity to be a holes on set on set.
• 6:24
  Like in regards to their character, Like you're there to
• 6:27
  do a job. Don't improvise unless it's
• 6:30
  required out of the script. Like, I know that people like
• 6:34
  Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, they improvise their scripts, but
• 6:39
  that's what you got when you hired them.
• 6:41
  This was his very first job. And I think with Robin Williams
• 6:44
  is very much like, give me the take I want.
• 6:46
  Just let do Robin do what he wants to.
• 6:48
  Do do whatever you want. Right, like that's very much the
• 6:51
  attitude when you were hiring these people.
• 6:53
  Adam Driver girls was his first job.
• 6:55
  This is not the opportunity to throw chairs and scare your Co
• 6:59
  workers, especially that are all women.
• 7:01
  Like we're all very sensitive to the aggressive male, but under
• 7:05
  no circumstance does any of this surprise me.
• 7:08
  I could see, yeah, he does seem intense and that's what makes
• 7:10
  him. But he does seem like he has a
• 7:11
  sense of humor too. Like he seems intense but like
• 7:14
  his SNL bits are like the best bits because.
• 7:18
  Absolute best because he commits and I saw something someday the
• 7:21
  other day. Everyone was talking about why
• 7:22
  SNL is so bad nowadays. And they were like, it started
• 7:26
  to get bad around the the Jimmy Fallon era because it was so
• 7:30
  funny to the audience that Jimmy Fallon would break.
• 7:33
  And now that's like the bit everything is all about.
• 7:37
  Oh, let's see if we can make each other break.
• 7:39
  Oh, can't we acknowledge how ridiculous it is?
• 7:42
  That's why when Adam Driver is on SNL, it's so refreshing and
• 7:46
  so funny because he's so committed.
• 7:49
  He'll never break even the most he.
• 7:51
  Breaks everybody else. Though, but it's so intense and
• 7:55
  but, but that's funny because Amy Poehler even said like the
• 7:58
  reason SNL characters work is because they don't know that
• 8:00
  they're funny. Like they don't realize they're
• 8:03
  they're, they're the weirdo. Whereas SNL right now is very
• 8:06
  much like, hey, look at this weirdo.
• 8:08
  Look at how funny this character is.
• 8:10
  And it's like, no, that's where Adam Driver signed.
• 8:12
  He plays everything serious. Yeah.
• 8:15
  And yeah, that's like, again, I'm also not surprised that he's
• 8:18
  probably kind of a. Dick, I know.
• 8:20
  It's unfortunate, but he didn't say, you know, he didn't say
• 8:23
  anything other than him being a Dick, so that's cool.
• 8:25
  Like, it's not like he's being accused of something that's.
• 8:29
  Right. Like he's not like he's just,
• 8:31
  he's just unstable on the set and he he kind of buys into his
• 8:35
  own talent is what it's first. Hearing and this was the first
• 8:38
  thing he'd ever done. Like I know from now he could be
• 8:40
  a whole different person. And like she said, they're still
• 8:42
  friends, so. Yeah, I mean, good for them,
• 8:44
  like. And she also wrote that the
• 8:45
  character was not supposed to be likable and.
• 8:48
  Yet all. These girls were, like, lusting
• 8:50
  after the Adam Driver character. And she's like, whoa.
• 8:52
  Like, he was not supposed to be a good guy.
• 8:54
  Yeah. So like, that's weird, you know?
• 8:56
  Yeah, I didn't watch Girls I. Think I didn't either.
• 8:58
  So. But I hear it's good.
• 8:59
  I heard it's amazing and it's like the the voice of a
• 9:01
  generation is Lena Dunham, but I just never got into it.
• 9:04
  So there's a dad that's been turning his daughter's, his
• 9:07
  three-year old daughter's stories into songs.
• 9:10
  And I bring this up because Lily recently wrote a song and I
• 9:14
  turned it into the song of the week.
• 9:16
  So we're going to have Nick's song of the week, but it's the
• 9:18
  first ever Lily's song of the week.
• 9:20
  I have not gotten her approval to give this to you, to play it
• 9:23
  and make it public. So just keep this between.
• 9:25
  Us it's, I mean. She wrote all the lyrics.
• 9:29
  She wrote. All the lyrics.
• 9:30
  So she's seven years old and she wrote all the lyrics.
• 9:32
  Nick made it into song. That's all you need to know. 1st
• 9:34
  I want to play you this kid though.
• 9:36
  So like this dad turns, it's like the cutest thing that's
• 9:39
  happening. So he takes the song.
• 9:40
  He actually has talent. He sings the song.
• 9:43
  He plays. No, no, no.
• 9:45
  The dad, as far as me, yeah. Like he sings the song, he plays
• 9:48
  the song. Like he's got all the stuff.
• 9:49
  So there's a video you can check out.
• 10:31
  Her know that's. It OK, that's amazing, yeah.
• 10:33
  So like, again, he has the actual talent he has plays the
• 10:36
  guitar, plays, yeah, singing, stuff like that, that.
• 10:38
  Was not the voice I was expecting to come out by the.
• 10:40
  Way I just put her lyrics into the program that I used, but we
• 10:45
  did refine them so we went through.
• 10:47
  This was her choice of the sound.
• 10:49
  She wanted to sound like K pop D bonders and she wrote all the
• 10:52
  lyrics we went through with a fine tube comb that we'd play a
• 10:55
  lyric back and she's like, no, no, no, I don't like that.
• 10:57
  Take that out. It was a full on production
• 10:59
  session and this is what ended up being the end of it.
• 11:03
  It's called what did she call it?
• 11:05
  I need someone, someone who understands me.
• 11:08
  Here you go. I.
• 12:05
  are here to help. I I don't know she she sings a
• 12:10
  lot in the bath and things like just constantly always singing,
• 12:14
  repeating lyrics over and over again.
• 12:15
  She gets a on a on a topic and sometimes changes in mid song
• 12:19
  and she comes back to it. She was very happy with this and
• 12:23
  I I think it's adorable. She was so proud of herself for
• 12:26
  these lyrics. Look, they get kind of muddled.
• 12:28
  Like, are we not understanding? Is is we need somebody to
• 12:31
  understand who's not understanding?
• 12:33
  I don't understand this song. I don't.
• 12:34
  I need someone who. Understands I need the.
• 12:36
  Yeah. She has a musical going on in
• 12:38
  her head of these characters called the Pocket Pals.
• 12:41
  It's from a book that she reads. And so she's been writing songs
• 12:44
  for this Pocket Pals musical. And so this is one of the songs.
• 12:49
  And like it was like it was fun doing the section where they're
• 12:52
  like sitting. Down.
• 12:53
  So happy. Going through the lyrics and
• 12:55
  stuff like that. And she was like, yeah, picking
• 12:56
  up what she's like, I'm like, what do you want it to sound
• 12:58
  like? Do you want more?
• 12:59
  And she's like, oh, I like it to build.
• 13:01
  And I want like it was very. It's like I could see this being
• 13:04
  the stepping stone into something in the.
• 13:06
  Future. I think so too.
• 13:07
  Yeah. I can't wait to play this.
• 13:08
  Like when she's on what? Whoever is hosting any late
• 13:12
  night show. Some robot, some AI character.
• 13:15
