Speaker 1: Hello, Jennifer Canfield here, Laughs Unlimited. We are here today
0:19
Speaker 1: with Ryan Irwin. Hey, Ryan, how you doing?
0:22
Speaker 2: Hi, doing great.
0:25
Speaker 1: I get so jealous because I see everybody else's backgrounds
0:28
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you have cool stuff in your background.
0:31
Speaker 2: This is my dad's office.
0:34
Speaker 1: Oh, that's fine. It's okay. We can pretend. Mine is
0:38
Speaker 1: a hodgepodge of whatever is behind me right now. Ryan,
0:44
Speaker 1: where are you from?
0:46
Speaker 2: I'm from Utah. It's where I am right now. But
0:49
Speaker 2: I am originally from a small town in Utah called
0:51
Speaker 2: Brigham City. And my parents retired and got a new home.
0:55
Speaker 2: And so I'm helping them out while I'm in between
0:58
Speaker 2: spaces right now.
0:59
Speaker 1: Nice. I have no problem with living with parents. That
1:03
Speaker 1: is the way of the future with housing prices being
1:06
Speaker 1: what they are. Oh, yeah. No.
1:08
Speaker 2: And my parents want me here because I was like, oh, like,
1:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to look for an apartment. And they're like,
1:13
Speaker 2: you can stay for like another six months if you want.
1:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's so awesome. That's awesome. Okay, Ryan, how did
1:21
Speaker 1: we meet? Did I meet you at a festival? Is
1:24
Speaker 1: that what it was?
1:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Big Pine 2021.
1:29
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, yes.
1:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we did that when it was at the
1:36
Speaker 2: House of Comedy location.
1:39
Speaker 1: In Flagstaff?
1:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was in Phoenix.
1:42
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:42
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, yes, in Phoenix. Yes, yes, okay. And
1:47
Speaker 2: then I.
1:54
Speaker 2: Did comedy catch in Chattanooga and you're friends with Danielle.
1:57
Speaker 2: And then you reached out to me and we're like, Hey,
1:59
Speaker 2: do you want to come to my club?
2:05
Speaker 1: Yes. Danielle is great. She, she definitely messages me and
2:09
Speaker 1: she's like, if you have a book with this person,
2:11
Speaker 1: you for sure should. She's great.
2:17
Speaker 2: Over the TV show, big brother.
2:18
Speaker 1: Oh, and now the secret is out.
2:23
Speaker 2: It was during Big Brother season. I was like, hi,
2:25
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be disrespectful. There's a lot going
2:27
Speaker 2: on in this house. And she goes, oh, are you
2:28
Speaker 2: talking about Big Brother? And I was like, oh my gosh.
2:31
Speaker 2: The whole weekend we just chatted about who we thought
2:34
Speaker 2: could win. It was great.
2:36
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. See? And we talk about that at the
2:39
Speaker 1: festivals that you can always bond over something other than comedy.
2:43
Speaker 1: In fact, industry members prefer that. I went to a.
2:49
Speaker 2: Different comedy festival and I talked about how much I
2:53
Speaker 2: love the TV show Survivor. And then two of the
2:55
Speaker 2: industry members are like, we're going to have lunch because
2:57
Speaker 2: we have to talk about this season. And I was like, great.
3:00
Speaker 1: Right, for sure. It's a great way to get to
3:05
Speaker 1: know and to get into a club is, you know,
3:08
Speaker 1: because we get tired of talking about comedy. Even though
3:11
Speaker 1: it's what we do, it's not always who we are.
3:13
Speaker 1: I mean, some of us live, breathe, and work it.
3:16
Speaker 1: But I have other interests, I'm pretty sure.
3:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:21
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing comedy.
3:24
Speaker 2: Um eight years this summer so I'm excited about that yeah.
3:29
Speaker 1: Okay new this is my thing yes that's awesome that's
3:33
Speaker 1: awesome and you get do you have you been out
3:35
Speaker 1: of the country yet with it or just just national.
3:39
Speaker 2: Yeah I did a couple cruise gigs and then last
3:42
Speaker 2: fall I went to Canada with the board teachers comedy
3:46
Speaker 2: tour so we did a little Canada run it was fun.
3:50
Speaker 1: That's right. I forget that you are a teacher. Yes.
3:53
Speaker 2: Or I was a teacher.
3:55
Speaker 1: Yes.
3:56
Speaker 2: And I'm doing comedy full time.
3:58
Speaker 1: Yes. Are we very happy about that? Yeah. Yeah.
4:02
Speaker 2: So it's been, it's been good. It's been a fun adjustment.
4:04
Speaker 2: It was a little rough at first, but I think
4:08
Speaker 2: we found a good spot where we landed.
4:11
Speaker 1: Yes. Do you miss the classroom?
4:14
Speaker 2: There are, when I first left, I was like, Whoa.
4:17
Speaker 2: And then I got through a year. I was like
4:18
Speaker 2: hankering to go back. So I actually did go back
4:21
Speaker 2: to a school for a little bit and I was like, no.
4:24
Speaker 2: And I left before the end of first quarter and
4:26
Speaker 2: I was like, no. And I slept a little bit
4:29
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago and I was like, no,
4:31
Speaker 2: but now it's starting to creep back in being like,
4:33
Speaker 2: I do kind of miss it. Just the camaraderie, the
4:36
Speaker 2: day-to-day routine. I taught theater. So there was always something
4:40
Speaker 2: different and fun to work on. But yeah, I think
4:44
Speaker 2: I'm going to be fine because this summer I'm directing
4:47
Speaker 2: a teen production at a local theater company.
4:51
Speaker 1: Oh, fun.
4:51
Speaker 2: We need to do their summer show, which is great
4:54
Speaker 2: because then I can like do it for a couple
4:56
Speaker 2: hours a day, but it's not like my full-time job.
4:59
Speaker 2: So it's a nice little round.
5:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's the production of?
5:03
Speaker 2: They haven't told me yet. So you don't get to pick?
5:08
Speaker 2: We've got two really fun options. One, we can't tell
5:11
Speaker 2: you about. We really hope we get it. It's hard
5:12
Speaker 2: rights to get. But if we don't, we have a
5:14
Speaker 2: great backup plan. And I'm just like, just tell me
5:16
Speaker 2: the two options. I want to start planning. You're right.
5:20
Speaker 1: I want something in my head at least.
5:21
Speaker 2: Yes.
5:22
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Um, uh, theater would be theater would
5:26
Speaker 1: be fun to teach. I think if you, if you
5:28
Speaker 1: teach something niche like that, like my daughter's very much
5:31
Speaker 1: into music and she loves, loves, loves her band teacher
5:36
Speaker 1: and her, you know, like her band friends and stuff
5:38
Speaker 1: like that. And I think it's the same with theater.
5:40
Speaker 1: Like that's something that kids really have passion for versus,
5:44
Speaker 1: you know, math or social studies.
5:49
Speaker 2: Definitely form a community in these like performing arts classes
5:52
Speaker 2: because They have to rely on each other and work
5:55
Speaker 2: together to accomplish things. So they definitely make stronger friendships there.
5:59
Speaker 1: Right, yeah. And I've been super grateful that my daughter
6:02
Speaker 1: has had that through high school because high school is
6:06
Speaker 1: tough without that community.
6:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I taught middle school for 10 years. So if
6:13
Speaker 2: you got someone, you can get through. If you don't
6:15
Speaker 2: have anyone, it's a long haul.
6:17
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. um anything exciting coming up for comedy
6:23
Speaker 1: other than obviously coming to laughs unlimited.
6:26
Speaker 2: Yes um yeah i've got a few like projects i'm
6:30
Speaker 2: like okay like i need to work on either producing
6:33
Speaker 2: a half hour or an hour special i just have
6:35
Speaker 2: a lot of material that i haven't recorded in a
6:37
Speaker 2: bit like i have two dry bar specials and i
6:40
Speaker 2: have a special that's out on amazon prime but i'm
6:43
Speaker 2: like i kind of like want to work on my
6:45
Speaker 2: next project. So the next few months are kind of
6:47
Speaker 2: figuring out what that project is, which is exciting. Cause
6:50
Speaker 2: I'm like, it could be anything. And like a lot
6:54
Speaker 2: of the stuff that I'll be performing in Sacramento is I,
6:57
Speaker 2: I just was in Raleigh. I was at good nights
6:59
Speaker 2: comedy club last week. And a lot of my newer stuff,
7:03
Speaker 2: like my sister who lives there was like, I love
7:05
Speaker 2: all your new stuff. Like I love this story.
7:08
Speaker 1: Okay.
7:08
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I have a lot of fun, exciting things.
7:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, how do they all fit together? What direction
7:13
Speaker 2: do I go? So, My exciting project is like, I
7:15
Speaker 2: don't know what it is yet, which is like the
7:17
Speaker 2: fun stage. It's like the musical, I don't know what
7:19
Speaker 2: I'm directing. But I'm like, it's like once I figure
7:23
Speaker 2: it out, then I can like start writing more bits
7:25
Speaker 2: into that like frame of reference. Because my last special
7:28
Speaker 2: is called Full-Time Quitter. And it's about, basically it's my
7:32
Speaker 2: employment history, like all the jobs I've quit.
7:35
Speaker 1: Yes, okay.
7:37
Speaker 2: There's a big teacher chunk, but there's also like all
7:39
Speaker 2: my high school jobs, my college jobs, the jobs I've
7:41
Speaker 2: had as a comedian, like I've had different day jobs.
7:44
Speaker 2: And so it was just like an employment history. And
7:47
Speaker 2: I realized after I'm like, I have like a good
7:49
Speaker 2: 35 minutes about my resume. Let's, let's focus on making
7:54
Speaker 2: that a thing. So it's kind of like, that's great.
7:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's a great idea. That's awesome. I love that.
8:02
Speaker 1: What was it called again? Professional quitter.
8:04
Speaker 2: Full-time quitter.
8:05
Speaker 1: Full-time quitter. Yeah, no. I think everybody has to go
8:10
Speaker 1: through that in life, though, so that's very, very relevant.
8:13
Speaker 1: That's very... We've all had to figure out what we
8:16
Speaker 1: wanted to be.
8:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, it's like, as, like, no, I'm a clown.
8:23
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm a storyteller, but, yeah, as it, like,
8:26
Speaker 2: took shape, it was really fun to be, like, I
8:28
Speaker 2: need to link these two together. How do I, Oh,
8:30
Speaker 2: I can write a call back here. And like, that's
8:32
Speaker 2: fun for me. Like I like writing jokes. I like
8:35
Speaker 2: writing a show.
8:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense.
8:40
Speaker 2: So excited.
8:42
Speaker 1: That's very cool. Well, we talked a little bit. You
8:46
Speaker 1: have a relation to trivia. Can you talk to him? Yeah.
8:50
Speaker 2: I was recruited for a trivia game show that never
8:54
Speaker 2: ended up seeing the light of day. So I, was
8:57
Speaker 2: tested once a week on my trivia. Like the casting
9:00
Speaker 2: producer would call me and I would do so bad.
9:03
Speaker 2: I don't think I ever got above 50%.
9:06
Speaker 1: I wonder why they kept calling though. They were like,
9:08
Speaker 1: we really like you, but.
9:10
Speaker 2: I think it's my shimmering painting personality.
9:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:14
Speaker 2: You gotta be.
9:14
Speaker 1: Better at knowing something though. Yeah.
9:18
Speaker 2: But like part of the game was like, you bet
9:20
Speaker 2: on how much you would know.
9:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:23
Speaker 2: So like if you bet that you wouldn't know a
9:25
Speaker 2: lot in this category and you were right, you got
9:27
Speaker 2: X number of points. I never actually, the game never
9:30
Speaker 2: actually got on its legs, but how they were explaining
9:33
Speaker 2: it to me was that it's like, you don't have
9:35
Speaker 2: to be good at trivia. You have to be good
9:36
Speaker 2: at knowing yourself. And I was like, well, I know
9:38
Speaker 2: myself very well.
9:41
Speaker 1: I would bet against, I think that would be hard though,
9:43
Speaker 1: because what if you bet against yourself? You're like, but
9:46
Speaker 1: I bet, I don't know. And then you really didn't know.
9:48
Speaker 1: Would you just take it and be like, well, I,
9:50
Speaker 1: I don't know.
9:52
Speaker 2: No, because then I would be proud about myself. I
9:55
Speaker 2: actually got 10 of these right. I'm so proud of myself,
9:58
Speaker 2: even though it means I lost the game.
9:59
Speaker 1: Right. you have negative 500 points though you're like yeah
10:03
Speaker 1: i know but i knew something it's fun yeah well
10:08
Speaker 1: uh you know not to bring back any ptsd moments
10:12
Speaker 1: but do you want to try some.
10:12
Speaker 2: Trivia Let's go! The goal is 50%. I don't know
10:17
Speaker 2: how many questions there are, but that's my goal.
10:19
Speaker 1: There are 10 questions, and they are of a variety
10:23
Speaker 1: of topics, so 5 out of 10 won't be bad.
10:27
Speaker 1: And there is at the end, the last question, you
10:31
Speaker 1: can wager however many points you have if you want.
10:34
Speaker 1: So there is still that little final gem for this situation.
10:39
Speaker 2: Will there be a category? The final question is about
10:47
Speaker 2: I don't want to break the rules for me.
10:49
Speaker 1: I can give you a category. I don't really think
10:54
Speaker 1: there are rules. I think we make it up as
10:55
Speaker 1: we go.
10:57
Speaker 2: Yes.
11:00
Speaker 1: All right. Ready.
11:01
Speaker 2: Question one.
11:03
Speaker 1: What does the SWV stand for in the 90s R
11:08
Speaker 1: & B girl group?
11:15
Speaker 2: My first thought is sex, want, and attraction.
11:18
Speaker 1: Well, that's S-W-A, but.
11:22
Speaker 2: Well, what did you say?
11:24
Speaker 1: S-W-V. V, nevermind, vehicle.
11:28
Speaker 2: That's what I meant.
11:31
Speaker 1: Sex with vehicles. No, that's not it either. Okay. All right,
11:38
Speaker 1: it's sisters with voices.
11:42
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, not even close.
11:45
Speaker 1: All I wanted to do was start singing it, but
11:47
Speaker 1: I'm not singing one of their songs, but I am
11:49
Speaker 1: not going to embarrass myself on this podcast today.
11:53
Speaker 2: Do it. Do it.
11:54
Speaker 1: No. I don't know what it is that you've done
12:00
Speaker 1: to me. Yes. Shush it, Carlos. He's such a bad influence.
12:07
Speaker 2: All right.
12:10
Speaker 1: All right, Whitney Houston went to the top of the
12:13
Speaker 1: music charts in 1992 with which Dolly Parton song? Oh, no.
12:21
Speaker 1: And I will not sing this one.
12:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is right. I Will Always
12:28
Speaker 2: Love You. You said Whitney Houston. That's the first thing
12:30
Speaker 2: that came to my mind. Am I right? That's the one, yes.
12:32
Speaker 1: I just think it's good. And I.
12:38
Speaker 2: That's what I remember.
12:41
Speaker 1: If I'm not going to sing it, he'll sing it.
12:42
Speaker 1: I love this. I hope they're all song questions now. Oh, look.
12:47
Speaker 1: Another one. Okay. Before embarking on a solo career, Beyonce
12:54
Speaker 1: was a part of what R & B group?
12:57
Speaker 2: Destiny's Child.
12:59
Speaker 1: Yes.
13:01
Speaker 2: All right.
13:02
Speaker 1: See?
13:02
Speaker 2: I would have to return my gay card if I
13:04
Speaker 2: didn't know that. They would kick me out.
13:08
Speaker 1: You're already two to one. You're winning. Okay, I think
13:13
Speaker 1: we're out of the music category now. What is California's
13:18
Speaker 1: state animal?
13:20
Speaker 2: Oh, is it a golden bear?
13:24
Speaker 1: I'll take that, sure. It's a grizzly bear, but it's
13:27
Speaker 1: a bear, all right.
13:27
Speaker 2: I was thinking of Cal University. They're the golden bears.
13:31
Speaker 2: I didn't know if that was like homage.
13:32
Speaker 1: Right, right, right, right. Well, I mean, I think it's
13:35
Speaker 1: golden on the flag is... what it is. So yeah,
13:39
Speaker 1: it makes sense. So I'm going to.
13:40
Speaker 2: Give it to you.
13:41
Speaker 1: See, three to one, you're already winning. 75%.
13:43
Speaker 2: Yes.
13:45
Speaker 1: All right. How often are the Summer Olympics held?
13:51
Speaker 2: Oh, every four years.
13:53
Speaker 1: Yes. You're almost to your goal. We could just quit
13:58
Speaker 1: while we're ahead.
13:59
Speaker 2: Okay.
14:01
Speaker 1: The Hollywood sign originally spelled out what word?
14:08
Speaker 2: Oh, it was Hollywood Land.
14:13
Speaker 1: Ryan, where is that producer now? That's what we need
14:17
Speaker 1: to know. Ryan knows his stuff. Okay. This actor notably
14:25
Speaker 1: starred in the TV sitcoms How I Met Your Mother
14:28
Speaker 1: and Doogie Howser, M.D.
14:32
Speaker 2: Neil Patrick Harris.
14:33
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you might lose your gay
14:35
Speaker 1: card on that one, too.
14:36
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was like... David Burka's husband is....
14:43
Speaker 1: I'm not in charge of handing out or taking away
14:45
Speaker 1: gay cards, but that just seemed like one.
14:48
Speaker 2: You'll write a stern letter to the committee.
14:50
Speaker 1: Yes, right, right, right. It'll be like, he did not know.
14:55
Speaker 1: All right. After Jim Carrey first made a name for
14:58
Speaker 1: himself on what Kenan Ivory Wayans sketch comedy show? Oh, God.
15:08
Speaker 2: In Living Color?
15:09
Speaker 1: We can do what we wanna do. In Living Color.
15:14
Speaker 2: I was like, I couldn't decide if it had In
15:17
Speaker 2: Living Color or if it was just called Living Color.
15:18
Speaker 2: Is it In Living Color?
15:19
Speaker 1: It's In Living Color. Yeah, you got it right.
15:22
Speaker 2: I wanna get it right.
15:24
Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Look, now you just have extra points to
15:27
Speaker 1: wager at the end. That's what this is. Yes. Yes. Okay,
15:33
Speaker 1: what do you call a group of porcupines?
15:43
Speaker 2: Let's go with a barrel.
15:49
Speaker 1: It is called a prickle.
15:52
Speaker 2: Oh, that's smart. That's really smart. I don't even know
15:57
Speaker 2: if it's real. I was trying to think of something.
16:00
Speaker 1: It seems too cute to be real. Like, is that
16:03
Speaker 1: really it? We would have to.
16:05
Speaker 2: It's like a flamboyance of flamingos is great.
16:08
Speaker 1: And a crash of rhinos. Mm-hmm.
16:13
Speaker 2: Which also is great. But yeah, Prickle of Portugal.
16:16
Speaker 1: But what's the plural of moose? Have we ever figured
16:19
Speaker 1: this out?
16:22
Speaker 2: Moosen. The iconic Brian Regan bit.
16:27
Speaker 1: Isn't that the... What's the plural of moose? Is it
16:30
Speaker 1: mooses or meese? Meese? Never mind.
16:34
Speaker 2: It's just such a strange word, meese.
16:37
Speaker 1: Right. Well, because... the plural of goose is geese. So
16:45
Speaker 1: the plural of moose should be meese.
16:49
Speaker 2: But you know, the English language doesn't make any sense.
16:52
Speaker 1: That is correct. That's why we didn't teach English. That's
16:54
Speaker 1: why we shot theater. Yes. Okay.
16:56
Speaker 2: Yes. English is actually the subject I taught for a
17:00
Speaker 2: few weeks before I quit. Oh, you're creative background. You
17:04
Speaker 2: like have a lot of fun, like making, and I
17:06
Speaker 2: was like, great. And then I show up in there.
17:08
Speaker 2: Here's the district prescribed curriculum. And here's the day by
17:10
Speaker 2: day lesson plan. I was like, Oh, where's the creativity
17:13
Speaker 2: I was promised? So, yeah.
17:17
Speaker 1: Well, it's called English. You're creative every day, but creative
17:20
Speaker 1: in the way of whoever made it creative in the
17:22
Speaker 1: first place, which isn't creative at all. It's just a
17:24
Speaker 1: little scary. Yeah. Okay, question number 10. It is a
17:32
Speaker 1: sports question.
17:34
Speaker 2: Great.
17:35
Speaker 1: How many points would you like to wager?
17:40
Speaker 2: If it's about Three different sports I'll fail miserably, but
17:46
Speaker 2: if it's about the rest, I should be fine. Let's
17:49
Speaker 2: risk it for the biscuit. Let's go six.
17:52
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. All right. What number does every major league
17:59
Speaker 1: baseball player wear on April 15th? My goodness.
18:12
Speaker 2: Is it.
18:16
Speaker 2: I mean, this seems so obvious. Is it 15?
18:22
Speaker 1: No.
18:23
Speaker 2: It's going to be 23, isn't it?
18:25
Speaker 1: No, it's 42. Jackie Robinson's number.
18:29
Speaker 2: Okay, 45 was going to be my third guess. Oh,
18:31
Speaker 2: is it Jackie Robinson's number? And that's Jackie Robinson's name.
18:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:37
Speaker 2: Shoot.
18:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay. I had no idea. And how confusing
18:43
Speaker 1: does that get on... for scorekeepers on that day.
18:47
Speaker 2: I'm just curious. Yeah, no, dang it. My three guesses
18:51
Speaker 2: were gonna be, I was like 15, 23, and 45.
18:53
Speaker 2: I don't know where 45 came from, but I was like,
18:56
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe it's Babe Ruth, maybe it's something else.
18:58
Speaker 2: And then when you said 42, I'm like, that's Jackie
19:00
Speaker 2: Robinson's number. Dang it.
19:02
Speaker 1: So what's 23?
19:04
Speaker 2: Wasn't that Babe Ruth's number?
19:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's Michael Jordan's number, but.
19:08
Speaker 2: I knew it was Michael Jordan.
19:10
Speaker 1: Is it Babe Ruth's number, Carlos? Is that significant?
19:16
Speaker 2: Checking on it now, right now.
19:18
Speaker 1: I figured, I guess I see you both Googling.
19:21
Speaker 2: Just three. Nope, then 23 was Michael Jordan.
19:25
Speaker 1: It's just three. Well, I was like, he did play
19:30
Speaker 1: baseball for a minute, so.
19:32
Speaker 2: I watched the last dance. You know a bit about sports,
19:37
Speaker 2: but that, dang it.
19:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. I watched The Last Dance, the Michael Jordan documentary
19:45
Speaker 1: about the last season with the Bulls, and it was
19:47
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. but it wasn't significant to baseball. So I
19:52
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know that all of MLB would
19:55
Speaker 1: change a number for a day for him.
19:59
Speaker 2: Is that where the and I took that personally meme
20:02
Speaker 2: comes from? And I took that personally. He's sitting in
20:06
Speaker 2: the interview chair.
20:07
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, probably.
20:09
Speaker 2: From a documentary? Yeah, probably. I've seen clips of the documentary,
20:13
Speaker 2: but I haven't watched the full thing.
20:15
Speaker 1: It's actually really interesting because it was like, you know,
20:18
Speaker 1: they fired Phil Jackson and Michael was like, I'm not
20:21
Speaker 1: playing for anybody else other than Phil Jackson. And then
20:24
Speaker 1: they'd won all these championships. And now I'm not even
20:28
Speaker 1: a sports person, but for whatever reason, I love sports documentaries. Yeah.
20:35
Speaker 2: You love learning. You're a lifelong student, Jenny. Well, that's true.
20:39
Speaker 1: As long as I don't have to do it in
20:40
Speaker 1: a group setting. That's really why I stopped going to college.
20:44
Speaker 1: I mean, I just ended at AA. I was like, yeah,
20:47
Speaker 1: three AA is enough. I don't need any more. Because
20:50
Speaker 1: I'm really tired of being in a class with other people.
20:56
Speaker 2: What degree could you get just a one-on-one class all
20:58
Speaker 2: the way through?
20:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's... we won't date myself, but it was
21:03
Speaker 1: back in the day. I was like, Oh, I'll just
21:04
Speaker 1: do school online. Cause then I can just at my
21:08
Speaker 1: own pace. And as soon as I looked it up,
21:10
Speaker 1: they were like, Oh, and you have to do group sessions.
21:13
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, that's exactly what I'm trying
21:16
Speaker 1: to get away from.
21:18
Speaker 2: On canvas.
21:23
Speaker 1: Right. Right. Right. I don't want to, I don't want
21:26
Speaker 1: to read their papers for the teacher to let the
21:28
Speaker 1: teacher read these things, papers themselves. What was that, Carlos?
21:31
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I love the fact that
21:34
Speaker 2: we had a bear question and his shirt is amazing. Ryan,
21:38
Speaker 2: I love it.
21:42
Speaker 1: He is just a big California bear right now, right?
21:48
Speaker 2: I have so many fun shirts and I'm buying a
21:51
Speaker 2: few more. So hopefully they come in time before Sacramento.
21:54
Speaker 1: Now, where do you get them from? Just all over
21:57
Speaker 1: or is there a specific place?
21:59
Speaker 2: There's a site that I have many shirts from. A
22:03
Speaker 2: lot of it is like, my friends will be like,
22:05
Speaker 2: I found this on, you know, Timu or like whatever.

22:34
Speaker 2: three others or whatever. My duck shirt is one of

22:44
Speaker 2: your work computer. Just look it up on your phone.
22:49
Speaker 2: That's literally the tag. Let me, I don't know if
22:53
Speaker 2: it'll flop out.
22:54
Speaker 1: I was going to say, now he's going to.
22:56
Speaker 2: Strip on the camera. I don't even know if we
22:57
Speaker 2: can see it from here. Yes. Oh, yeah.

23:50
Speaker 1: Yes only for a few days in California lots of
23:53
Speaker 1: rain is one day of rain and that's like oh
23:56
Speaker 1: it's so much.
24:02
Speaker 2: I was in, when I was in Raleigh, apparently it
24:05
Speaker 2: snowed here in Utah while I was gone.
24:09
Speaker 1: Oh.
24:10
Speaker 2: Like the mountains, like I was like, oh, and I
24:12
Speaker 2: left the mountains and have snow and they did when
24:13
Speaker 2: I came back. That's crazy.
24:15
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought of Utah as being a lot
24:17
Speaker 1: of snow, but yeah, it does. There's a major snow
24:21
Speaker 1: place in Utah that I can't think of right now
24:24
Speaker 1: that I've visited. Where they had the Olympics.
24:26
Speaker 2: Was it Park City, Snowbird, Solitude, Alta, yeah.
24:31
Speaker 1: You're like, we have all the places. Yeah, yeah.
24:35

Speaker 2: host them again in 2034. Oh, how exciting.
24:38
Speaker 1: Okay, something to look forward to.
24:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're worried about the water and snowpack because
24:45
Speaker 2: this was the driest summer we've ever had with the
24:48
Speaker 2: least amount of snow.
24:49
Speaker 1: Oh, really? Welcome to California. That's what we do.
24:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:54
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we don't have to worry about any of
24:57
Speaker 1: those problems. That's why we have comedy because we just
24:59
Speaker 1: make jokes and not worry about the future. Yeah.
25:03
Speaker 2: And I'm excited. I actually know one of my openers, Ritu. Oh, yeah.
25:08
Speaker 2: She is friends with Amber Autry. And I've known Amber
25:11
Speaker 2: for years. And when Amber was here in Utah, I
25:14
Speaker 2: picked her and Ritu up from the airport and we
25:16
Speaker 2: went out to lunch together. when then I dropped them
25:18
Speaker 2: off at their hotel before their show. So I was like,
25:21
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we know each other.
25:22
Speaker 1: That's how I met her was she was the opener
25:26
Speaker 1: for Amber here. Yeah. And so I was like, Oh,
