• 0:52
  Speaker 2: eight years now.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Wow. Was it still in Flagstaff at that point?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we took it over the third year. It
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was in Flagstaff. It was a different beast back then.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember it. A little bit.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It was crazy. It was wild. I used to walk
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like 15 miles a day.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I got to volunteer at it a couple times. Always
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: super fun. Before the sun had set, I was like, man,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I really wish we were in Flagstaff right now.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I miss Flagstaff so much. That would be nice.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: This is great.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: This is great.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Beautiful, magnificent. Now that the sun's down, much happier.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the sun going down is great. I do, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a bad day today. I mean, it was
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like 105 like two days, two weeks ago. I know.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: That's truly the worst part is we were trying to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: record out in the garden and it was only, only...
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Only 92 degrees.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Only 92.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And all the equipment was like, man, it's too hot.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: They had to put their stuff in the freezer to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: try to cool it down.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I feel that. I was filming a yo-yo video the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: other day and my iPad overheated when I was outside
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: trying to film a yo-yo video. And I just hit
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the trick and I did not record it. And I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was so upset. I was like, I got to move.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I can't do this anymore.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we truly live in hell.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And knowing that this is not even near the hottest.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: No, it's going to be so hot.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I always feel bad like... when I know we had
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the big pine festival a few years ago, it was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in September. Yep.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Last weekend of September, maybe two years ago.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And all the comics visiting from out of town, out
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in the garden and just like trying to look cute,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: look nice, you know, have a great set. They flew
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: out here, drove out here, whatever. And just like melted.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I felt so bad. Uh, that was, yeah, like three
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: years ago we had it in the garden in, uh, September. And, uh,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Had to cancel the first show in the garden because
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: nobody came. Because it was 109 degrees, I think.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's really hard to be a positive ambassador for the scene.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And like, yeah, please come back. Please. This is a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: great place to do comedy. The club is awesome. When
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's like, we're all just like.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Cooking. Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Just schvitz and our tuchus is off.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It was kind of funny because Michael Cox, the booker
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of The Tonight Show, was there that year. And then
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: he was there the following year. And it was... so
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so hot the following year too and he was telling
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: everybody he was just like oh it was way hotter
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: last year and i'm like he's lying to your faces
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but i love you for what you're doing right now

  Speaker 2: That's really worrying me, if I'm going to be honest.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Do you think it means something more?

  Speaker 2: Just a little touch.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like everyone in comedy, we all risen with

  Speaker 1: So I met you many years ago. You were still
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: doing standup.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I was. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: What, uh, you just decided you're done with that life. Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: How long were you doing standup before you moved to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: like the production and education and festival side of things?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So I was doing standup for like three years before
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I started doing production. Uh, but then I was still
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: doing standup while I was doing production.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Um, I ended up stopping quitting stand-up in 2020. Pandemic happened.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Smart.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's what we were supposed to do. That's what
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we were supposed to do. Looking at both cameras. Looking
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: at the cameras. That's what you were supposed to do.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Zoom mics are hell. I don't know why you would
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: do that. Yeah. But, yeah, there were a lot of things.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I absolutely refused to do Zoom mics.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That is rough.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I have somebody that loves me. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: there's that too.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: So it was getting harder and harder to leave, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: like the woman I love and like the little fur
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: family that we started to go hang out at dive
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: bars to tell jokes. I feel that. And people ask
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: me all the time if I miss it. I do
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: not miss performing. I miss being in the club scene
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as much as I used to be.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: But, you know, I'm still very much in comedy. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: for sure. So, you know, one of the things that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Hillary Hudson, the owner of this festival and this club.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Shout out.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Shout out. She's right behind us, actually.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She made an appearance in the last episode as a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: phone-a-friend for our pal, Kalia.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Needed an assist on one of the trivia questions.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Good one. She always says that you don't have to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: be a comedian to be in comedy. And I don't
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: think a lot of comedians want to hear that, even
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: if they're better at doing things that aren't comedy.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: She should spread that word.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: She's trying.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, because there's so many different facets to this
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that we need. I'm looking at some of the cool merch.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We need people that are good producers. We need people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that are good at producing things, managing things, managing people,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: coming up with ideas.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It's a whole business.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's nice for people. That's nice to hear that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: she's also like, Yeah, you don't have to be doing
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this if you don't love it. Or there's something adjacent
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to it that you could be doing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There's also more money not in performing. I hate
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to break that to everybody, but I have a salary.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Wow. What's that like, Brian Kierley?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's pretty great. It's pretty great. And yeah, not a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: lot of comedians are getting comedy salaries. No. Obviously, there's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: money to be made. I'm not saying that there isn't.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Do you have a 401k?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No, not right now. Okay. No, that's the fiance's job. Yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: she's the real breadwinner, if we're being honest.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm also married.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: How long?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Five years.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Is his name Saro?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: That was stupid. I don't know why I said that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: His name is Eric, so our couple name is Saric.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Saric. I like that. Right? Nice.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. Can you tell us, what does
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Broken Drift Productions do? Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Broken Drift Productions does a lot. Yes. We are big
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in the comedy education game.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Which I love to hear.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Very much.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: That's, yeah, that's kind of like, I mean, it's not
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a new thing, but we have a lot of more
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: events in the comedy education scene than we used to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: in years prior.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: We have one at every one of the mic drop clubs,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of which there are four.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Four? Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: There's here, there's San Diego, there's Plano, and Detroit just
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: opened up.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And then we also do one at Laughs Unlimited in Sacramento.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, there's five.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not a mic drop club. Shout out
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Laughs Unlimited. Shout out Jenny. Laughs Unlimited is.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Jenny got a lot of love in the last.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Episode, too. When I hated comedy, I went to Laughs
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Unlimited for the first time and fell back in love
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's beautiful to hear.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's probably my favorite club.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Wow. I have not been.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really incredible. It's just like it feels old.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: There's probably ghosts on the walls.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I've heard great things about it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think there is at least one comic that I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: met that's here for the festival that performs there and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was talking about how great that club is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And Jenny loves the club and she's very no-nonsense. You
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like you do not fuck around.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Can I swear? Yeah, you can do whatever. Yeah, you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: do not fuck around at Jenny's club. So I love it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I love being there. Yeah, so we do education there
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: through Broken Drift. We also run a festival through there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It's like biannual. That's every other year, right?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Sacktown Comedy Get Down.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: We do Big Pine, obviously.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of it for the Broken Drift side
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of things. Broken Drift technically owns all of the mic
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: drop clubs, but we're not going to get into that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds into the weeds.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That's like deep baseball, yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So we were talking about previously some of the winter
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and summer comedy camps. All of the education, that's also
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Broken Drift?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, yep. They're technically Big Pine Presents comedy camp, like
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: summer camp, spring camp. It's a Big Pine offshoot.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So we were talking about how fantastic those are. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: somebody who is a comic, but who loves a panel,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: loves a workshop, loves taking notes. I very much appreciate
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that you guys really focus on that. Because it's nice
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: for comics... for, for everybody, whether you're like, you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: we get, I think I was at the one in,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I guess it was the winter camp that toward the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: end of last year, there were some newer comics there,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's like great place to meet other people.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And you get fantastic panelists and people very, very giving
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of their time and their, their energy. So it's so great.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Great for people to like polish, kind of hone in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on skills.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Learn the business aspect of it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And so many different aspects of it. Because I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: know like I personally, the social media part of it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't enjoy doing it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody enjoys it. You got to do it though.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I think some people do. I think some people.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: They're sick.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's just not. I struggle with that part of it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I went to one. That was where I met.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Carlos Rodriguez, he was hosting a writing workshop, and it
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: was very fun just hanging out with everybody. We did
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a table writing workshop, just kind of like popcorn style,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: people writing together. It was really cool. Nice.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. First of all, thank you for that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: But also, I thanked you before, but I want to
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: thank you because you are one of the people that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: will come to our events regularly like that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love you for that and for other reasons.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: You're an amazing human being. Um, but I think that I, not,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I think I wish more comics were like you really,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I think that you see the value in what we
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: do and I appreciate that. But like, I think there
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people that could really benefit from
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the things that we do that just kind of overlook it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you guys often offer it, uh, for free
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: or for scholarship or for like a very, whatever the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: price is, uh, very worth it. Uh, I know I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: got like a, a PDF of some information, uh, I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: don't know which which packet I bought, but it's like that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: That's I feel like that stuff is like invaluable. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I wish that people I mean, obviously the getting up
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on stage, huge part of it. But like the sitting
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and taking in information, being willing to learn from people
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and seeing the value in that. We have some dog.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I saw Brian's face like, oh, no. We have a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: cute dog walking by. So lucky.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I'm so basic. I couldn't even help it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: No, we had one walk by before and I was like, oh, OK,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: we're good. Everybody.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Something else I remember from first starting out in comedy
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: is that you had something called the Kearley's Yearly.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Just for fun. Can you can you share a little
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: bit about that?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I love an award show like a lot.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that I felt we were
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: missing in the comedy scene was an award show. So
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I made an award show for the local comedy scene
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and I called it the Kearley's Yearlies. The first time
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: we ever did it was in Nathan Evangelista's backyard.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: During Drink and Joke. I don't know if you remember that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Shout out to that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And it was just a really goofy, semi-serious celebration of
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Phoenix comedy.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And House of Comedy hosted us in the last two
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: years that I did it. Yes. And it was a
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: semi-formal affair. I got people to dress up like it
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: was fucking prom. I love that. And we did it
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: kind of like a holiday potluck, too. Yes. So people
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: brought food in. Jessie Ever kept trying to make me
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: eat quiche.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not eating a baked egg
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: dish before I go on stage.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That's probably a smart move.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, I liked it. You know, we had
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: different categories. Everybody's always talking about, you know, best new comic.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And I think my favorite one that I ever did
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: was best old comic. Where, you know, I just nominated
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the old people that do comedy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: We do have some older folks.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some elderly people. Some elderly, yeah. I mean,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: they're legitimately elderly. I'm not, like, trying to talk shit.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: No, truly some octogenarian, I don't know what generation.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That would be. Yeah, and I thought we should honor them,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you know? So I had best old comedian.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I love that. Do you remember who some of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: winners were?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I only did it one year, and I can't
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: remember his last name, but he passed away. It was Johnny.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Do you remember Johnny, the old guy that died? No,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: but rest in peace, Johnny. Yeah, I mean, when he
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: was in the scene, he was just everywhere.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I remember this person.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Sandra Rissa was nominated. Yeah. I don't remember who else was.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: She was the comic, I believe, that was on... One
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of the shows?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: She was on AGT. AGT, thank you. I was like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: that is her, right? I had my finger on the pulse,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You truly are a tastemaker.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Another one I really love is Phyllis Boren.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Phyllis Boren was on it. She was nominated, too.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how old she is. None of my business.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: But she's an older lady.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: She is.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And she's very funny.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: She is very funny. My favorite bit that I ever
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: did for Keely's Yearlies, though, was, you know, I had, like,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: best comic. Yeah. uh, overall. And when I had on
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: war Newton won it that year and I had, you know,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a gift for the person that won best comment and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: it was wrapped up in a big box on the stage.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And I, you know, I presented it to on war
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and he was like really excited to open it up.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And it was a broken ceiling fan that I found
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in my alley. And he, he, you should have seen
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: his cause he was like, he was like, Oh, you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: he was like excited.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: About this gift.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And I was sitting there and like, As I saw
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: him get excited, I got excited because I knew what
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: he was about to open up. And he opened it
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: up and he was like, is that a broken ceiling fan?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, it's a broken ceiling fan.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And it was like so obviously broken too. It was trash.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I gave him trash.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I love Anwar and I still think that
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that's one of the funniest things I've ever did, even
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: if it was only me and him that saw it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: That is really funny.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I once was nominated for a Curley's Yearly.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I love that for you. Thank you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I was very excited. But it was the most underrated comic. Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And I didn't win, which makes me think that I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: still underrated maybe. Because if you win the most underrated,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Well, if you win the most underrated, then I guess
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you become like rated.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You become rated.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess you're still underrated.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: You're a great comic.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I always enjoy you on stage.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I think you're not as underrated anymore.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Not as underrated? I don't know. I kind of keep
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: kind of a low pro.
• 16:35

  Speaker 2: It was really good.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Where I was like, oh, I kind of remember these,

• 22:15
  Speaker 1: legend movies when we were talking about it. My husband
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was like, I want to watch these. And I was like,
• 22:19

• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the pop rocks? He's like, I don't remember that from these.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And I was like, it's not a final destination. He's like, no,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it is not.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: No final destinations when they get cut in half by
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: tree trucks and shit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. He does bring that up anytime we're

• 22:55
  Speaker 1: It is. I worked at Starbucks for six years in California. Um,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I don't do Starbucks anymore. Maybe it's like if we're

• 23:06
  Speaker 1: only choice.
• 23:07
