SPEAKER_02: Were you homeschooled?
0:01
SPEAKER_02: I was.
0:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, how can you tell me?
0:08
SPEAKER_02: Cool.
0:12
SPEAKER_00: Julie, I gotta be honest with you.
0:15
SPEAKER_00: The truth about starting this podcast, it's not about the fame and fortune as most people think it is.
0:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay, it's not about the fame.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: The minor local fame that there is, getting recognized in a grocery store line.
0:29
SPEAKER_00: It's not about that.
0:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's some of it's about that.
0:32
SPEAKER_00: But the biggest reason for having a podcast for me is so I can invite awesome people around town, like entertainers, decision makers, etc., and then become best friends with them.
0:44
SPEAKER_01: This is obviously the only way you make friends.
0:46
SPEAKER_01: Clearly.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: It's my sneaky way of getting in there.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: And today is no exception because today we have somebody that I'm very excited to have on from child star to punk rock icon, Lisa Fois.
0:58
SPEAKER_00: Hold on, hold on.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: I fucked up your last name there for a second.
1:01
SPEAKER_02: What'd you say?
1:02
SPEAKER_00: Foyles, but like I stuck I stuttered.
1:04
SPEAKER_02: It was almost like Australian, like far foils.
1:06
SPEAKER_02: Far honestly, even if it slipped an R in there.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: Crikey.
1:09
SPEAKER_02: Foils.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Can you say crikey for me?
1:12
SPEAKER_02: Crikey!
1:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that was good.
1:13
SPEAKER_02: Pretty good.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: All right, well, Lisa Foyles.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the show.
1:16
SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
1:17
SPEAKER_02: Um, first of all, I invited myself onto this show very selfishly.
1:21
SPEAKER_02: I think I was very demanding when I slipped into those DMs, and I'm like, hey, you're cool.
1:26
SPEAKER_02: I want to come on your show.
1:27
SPEAKER_02: When can we do it?
1:27
SPEAKER_02: It was like, whoa.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: It was the nicest bullying I've ever been a part of.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: In fact, so let me let me give you a quick rundown of what happened in the span of five minutes.
1:35
SPEAKER_00: That uh when you started following the Instagram account, I texted Julie.
1:39
SPEAKER_00: You followed us and you didn't DM us immediately just yet.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: I texted Julie, I said, holy shit, I recognize this girl that just followed us.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: She was on a show I used to watch on Nickelodeon.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: And then lo and behold, you DM me and you said something along the lines, and I'm paraphrasing, hey, awesome show.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: You should make me on, or you should put me on.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: I was like, Yes, that sounds great.
1:58
SPEAKER_00: And then you said, do it now.
1:59
SPEAKER_00: Do it now.
2:00
SPEAKER_00: Right now.
2:00
SPEAKER_02: Right now.
2:00
SPEAKER_02: What are we waiting for?
2:01
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: You basically bullied me on, and it was.
2:03
SPEAKER_02: What's your address?
2:03
SPEAKER_02: I'll be right there.
2:04
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
2:05
SPEAKER_00: You basically showed up at the door, and it was weird, but you know, here we are.
2:08
SPEAKER_02: You know, you gotta you gotta be assertive.
2:10
SPEAKER_02: Um no, I am a I am a fan of the show, and uh I really like doing podcasts with people in person.
2:17
SPEAKER_02: Yes, even though you're like you're far.
2:19
SPEAKER_02: Am I too far for you?
2:20
SPEAKER_02: You're too far.
2:21
SPEAKER_00: Is this too far?
2:21
SPEAKER_02: It's a little few.
2:22
SPEAKER_02: I feel like we should be tossing like a ball back and forth as we talk.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we can we can do that.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: We have moved the couch closer before, and then it gets like almost too intimate.
2:31
SPEAKER_01: Then it's then it's icy.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: I think what it is is our guests get so excited during the interview that they shake.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: They push the couch back because of the momentum.
2:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm a big shaker.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: You're a big shaker.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: By the end of this episode, you're gonna be against the wall.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
2:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:43
SPEAKER_02: And you know, I mean, you know from the DM I'm a little aggressive.
2:46
SPEAKER_02: So you're like, let's just keep a nice, healthy space.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: It's probably good because if when I drink and I talk at the same time, I like to do this.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: Like with violent movements.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: So I don't want to get anything.
2:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I feel that.
2:56
SPEAKER_02: Uh, your studio is so rad.
2:57
SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
2:58
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm actually I'm super impressed.
3:00
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's as much as I'd love to take credit for it.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: It's these guys, and Brian also, who is our our engineer, um, he helped set all of this up.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: And uh I'd love to take credit for it, but I just like to point my finger and say, I want that done over there.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: I want this over here.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: Shout out, Brian.
3:17
SPEAKER_01: He's on the wall.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: There he is, he's on the wall, yes.
3:19
SPEAKER_01: Oh, hi Brian!
3:20
SPEAKER_00: And by the way, you'll see my face that's also signed.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: Like I am a I'm a rapper with uh tatted uh tattoos there.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: If you could just sign my face before you leave.
3:28
SPEAKER_02: Is he a narcissist?
3:29
SPEAKER_02: Just putting pictures of his face.
3:30
SPEAKER_01: Why do you think the show is called Pay Big Hand?
3:32
SPEAKER_00: Have you seen the giant photo that's right behind your head of Oh my god.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's yeah.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: And you notice Julie's face is nowhere.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: We actually do have what's up with that?
3:42
SPEAKER_00: We do have Julie and Brandon cutouts.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: We need to get GG's.
3:44
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna draw you a self-portrait.
3:46
SPEAKER_02: Not a self-portrait, that would be of myself.
3:48
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna draw a portrait of you and a self-portrait of me together, riding unicorns on the beach as best friends, and we're gonna hang it in this studio.
3:56
SPEAKER_02: We should.
3:56
SPEAKER_02: I can't draw, but I have confidence, and that's what matters.
4:00
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, I think it makes it better that you can't draw.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: Can I be honest?
4:04
SPEAKER_00: I want to ask an honest question of you.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: Where do you get recognized more from?
4:07
SPEAKER_00: Is it from being on the show all that on Nickelodeon or it's horse's hoe?
4:14
SPEAKER_02: It's horse's hoe.
4:16
SPEAKER_02: Um, definitely all that.
4:18
SPEAKER_02: I don't think I've been it, I don't think I've been recognized for Horse's Ho yet.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: Not yet.
4:22
SPEAKER_02: Give it to give it time.
4:23
SPEAKER_00: Give it time.
4:24
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm slowly becoming a Vegas legend because of that video.
4:27
SPEAKER_02: The horseshoe followed me on Instagram.
4:30
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I'm giving you business.
4:32
SPEAKER_02: I've I've absolutely had comments of people like, I saw this video, so I'm gonna book a room at Horse's Ho.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: Like it's because of you.
4:38
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, can I get like a promo code here?
4:40
SPEAKER_02: Can I get a little kickback?
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just type in the horse, the promo code.
4:45
SPEAKER_02: Things I do for Vegas.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: It is such an iconic video, though.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: Uh I know you from all that as well.
4:49
SPEAKER_01: But when I was doing my research for the episode, I texted him and I was like, Did you know Lisa is the it's Horse's hoe girl?
4:56
SPEAKER_01: It's Horses' Ho Girl.
4:57
SPEAKER_01: I've got the hoe from the horseshoe.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: You're the hoe.
4:59
SPEAKER_00: You're the hoe we've been looking for.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: And I say it every time I walk past the horseshoe house.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: You've ruined the horseshoe.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: For a lot of people.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: Oh, for sure.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: I think you made it better.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: I think you opened their demographic to the younger market.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: Did you actually start that that trend, it's horseshoe?
5:13
SPEAKER_02: So I don't remember where I heard it the first time, but it was years and years ago.
5:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
5:17
SPEAKER_02: And then the story of that viral video was my best friend Cassie came to town to visit me.
5:24
SPEAKER_02: And I pointed it out, and I was like, look, it's horseshoe.
5:27
SPEAKER_02: And she laughed.
5:29
SPEAKER_02: Um, and then I did it again, and she laughed a little less, and then I proceeded to do it about 20 more times before she left.
5:34
SPEAKER_02: And she's like, I'm gonna strangle you.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm going to hurt you.
5:38
SPEAKER_02: Do not do it anymore.
5:39
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
5:40
SPEAKER_02: So that night I was uh I had a gig with Radical West at Bottle Blonde.
5:44
SPEAKER_02: And as I was leaving, I I saw the giant horse's hoe, horseshoe sign above me.
5:50
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Sean, I need to send a video to Cassie.
5:52
SPEAKER_02: Can you just quickly and I just handed it to him.
5:54
SPEAKER_02: And I was, I know I look a little intoxicated in that video.
5:57
SPEAKER_02: I was stone cold sober.
5:58
SPEAKER_02: Because I just got off stage, I just got done performing.
6:00
SPEAKER_00: You're high on life.
6:00
SPEAKER_02: And so I was like, just film it.
6:02
SPEAKER_02: And I go, and I'm like, thank you, let me send that to her real quick.
6:05
SPEAKER_02: So I text her and she's like, I hate you.
6:08
SPEAKER_02: And then a couple days later, I'm like, I'm just gonna post this video for funsies.
6:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
6:12
SPEAKER_02: And then like four million views.
6:14
SPEAKER_02: And we're so glad you do.
6:15
SPEAKER_02: I'm the horse's ho.
6:16
SPEAKER_02: You are the horse's hoe.
6:17
SPEAKER_00: From now until eternity, you are the horse's hoe.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: Love, love a legacy like that.
6:22
SPEAKER_02: Um, but no, to so to answer your original question.
6:25
SPEAKER_02: Um, I do get recognized from all that uh fairly often.
6:29
SPEAKER_02: And it's funny because I was so Jack DeSena was on the show with me, and he and I were were super tight.
6:35
SPEAKER_02: And uh I saw him recently in Vegas, and he does not look like he did on the show at all.
6:40
SPEAKER_02: Like he's just he's become he's an adult, he looks like totally different.
6:44
SPEAKER_02: Um and I'm like, Do you ever get recognized?
6:45
SPEAKER_02: He's like, never from all that.
6:46
SPEAKER_02: He's like, I don't look like myself.
6:48
SPEAKER_02: He's like, you still look the same, but you still look like the redhead from all that.
6:52
SPEAKER_02: That's probably why.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
6:54
SPEAKER_02: That's probably why I love that.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: I'll take it.
6:56
SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
6:57
unknown: Thanks.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: When you I I remember watching all that.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: Um, I I I would I would get home from school, go in through the door, throw my backpack on the floor, run to the kitchen, grab some snacks, get my Capri Sun, run to the TV.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: What flavor?
7:10
SPEAKER_00: Capri Sun?
7:11
SPEAKER_00: Uh Punch or like the high punch.
7:14
SPEAKER_01: Isn't there like a surf?
7:15
SPEAKER_01: Pisy punch is very different than Capri Sun.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay, it looks very different.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: This was just a week ago.
7:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember it that vividly.
7:22
SPEAKER_00: But either way, yes, all that was my favorite show.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: And so seeing you in person, I'm a little I'm a little nervous.
7:29
SPEAKER_02: That's why you're so far away.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: That's exactly why I'm so far away.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: Usually I'm on the couch with the guest.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: This one I actually got a desk just so I could be further away.
7:37
SPEAKER_02: Right here.
7:38
SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, same.
7:39
SPEAKER_02: So, first of all, same seas.
7:41
SPEAKER_02: I lived in Spokane, Washington, and uh my friend Heather and I went to school together, and it was our favorite show.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: And I loved having sleepovers at Heather's house, and we would we would watch the show, and then we'd go up to a room and we had a little like cassette recorder, sure, and we'd pretend to do all the characters.
7:58
SPEAKER_02: We'd be like, repair man, man, man, and this is the library! And you know, we'd just do all the characters, and um somewhere that tape exists, right?
8:06
SPEAKER_02: Like I'd love to get that tape back.
8:07
SPEAKER_02: I don't know where it is, like my mom's house somewhere.
8:10
SPEAKER_02: Um, but uh yeah, before I ever became an actor, it was my all-time favorite show.
8:15
SPEAKER_02: Obsessed with it.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: I love that.
8:16
SPEAKER_00: That's uh Julie's incredible at getting like things that guests don't expect.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: So she's she actually has a copy of that tape.
8:23
SPEAKER_00: Oh, of course.
8:24
SPEAKER_02: It's a mirror.
8:24
SPEAKER_02: It's a real player right now, and it's like so much worse than I remember it in my head.
8:28
SPEAKER_02: It's like we're really bad at the impressions.
8:30
SPEAKER_02: No, I just was like, it's better in my memory.
8:33
SPEAKER_00: Julie, we have to make that uh priority number one to get that tape for her.
8:36
SPEAKER_02: Perfect.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, please.
8:37
SPEAKER_00: What was the first moment on the show where you were like, this is actually my real life?
8:41
SPEAKER_00: After you've already been cast on the show.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: Um, how old were you at the time?
8:46
SPEAKER_02: Uh 13.
8:47
SPEAKER_02: I think I was cast when I was 13.
8:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: What was your first moment that you remember where you're like, holy shit, this is my life?
8:54
SPEAKER_02: You know, I I think it was the first live audience, right?
8:59
SPEAKER_02: Because all that was the perfect marriage of theater and TV.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
9:05
SPEAKER_02: Where it was a TV show, so we were able to do a line over again if we messed up, you know, try a character a different way, like experiment.
9:14
SPEAKER_02: Um, but yet they'd bring in the live audience.
9:16
SPEAKER_02: And then when they were there, whatever sketch was picked to be in front of them, we'd try to do it beginning to end without stopping, like theater.
9:24
SPEAKER_02: They were like, just whatever happens, just keep going.
9:26
SPEAKER_02: Um, so we got the best of both worlds.
9:29
SPEAKER_02: That's Disney, I can't sing that.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: Um can't say that.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: But I think it was that first, that first time that they brought in the live audience and they introduced us and we ran out and we look, we were all fans of all that.
9:42
SPEAKER_02: We knew we had big shoes to fill, right?
9:44
SPEAKER_02: Keenan and Kell, massively famous, Amanda Vines, like everybody.
9:47
SPEAKER_02: Um, to us too.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: We were like, you know, we were just as big a fans as everybody else in the world.
9:52
SPEAKER_02: So we're like, are people gonna accept us?
9:53
SPEAKER_02: Like it's this, you know, we have to try to live up to these icons of comedy.
9:59
SPEAKER_02: Um, but uh when you have um an audience full of children that they probably gave a lot of sugar to beforehand, um they're just in the palm of your hand.
10:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
10:11
SPEAKER_02: Like you can be on set and you can just go like and they just start laughing, right?
10:15
SPEAKER_02: Anything you do, anything you say, this sea of children is just laughing hysterically.
10:20
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, oh, oh, I think I'm I think I think I might be famous.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: I think this may actually be a thing.
10:27
SPEAKER_02: I think this might I think this might be a thing.
10:29
SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, so that I think that was the moment where it felt it felt really real.
10:32
SPEAKER_02: Cause it wasn't just that first that first live audience, it wasn't just all the like 200 kids or whatever.
10:38
SPEAKER_02: It was all the studio heads, it was all the executives, like everybody from Nickelodeon came down to see like, is this gonna work?
10:43
SPEAKER_02: This brand new cast of kids, like can they do it?
10:46
SPEAKER_02: Um and we nailed it, which is always a good feeling.
10:49
SPEAKER_02: I love that.
10:49
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, that was that was definitely the moment.
10:51
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I got chills thinking about that night though.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's what we want.
10:55
SPEAKER_00: We want our guests to get chills like that, bringing up stories.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: In terms of, I know you said they wanted it to run like theater, like if something happens, just keep going.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: Um was there anyone on the cast with you that like regularly would make you break?
11:08
SPEAKER_02: The only person to ever make me break was Tom Green.
11:11
SPEAKER_02: Well, that made it happen.
11:13
SPEAKER_02: And I'm very excited that that is a true story.
11:16
SPEAKER_02: It was slumber party.
11:18
SPEAKER_02: Um okay, to be fair, like we would make each other break during rehearsals, during run throughs.
11:24
SPEAKER_02: Um, but when it came time to actually film, I was always so locked in as a perfectionist from like, I'm not gonna break, I'm not gonna mess up a line, like I'm one take Lisa, like we're gonna do it.
11:34
SPEAKER_02: So I I don't remember a lot of times where we were making ourselves break character, but I played this goth girl named Claudia.
11:42
SPEAKER_02: And they wrote this character for me because it was crazy against type.
11:45
SPEAKER_02: I was the happy, like so happy, go lucky, like sweet, innocent little Lisa.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: And they're like, what if we turned a goth and made her like eat spiders and stuff?
11:53
SPEAKER_02: That sounds fun.
11:54
SPEAKER_02: Um, so I had this character, Claudia, and I a sense of pride was that I never broke.
12:01
SPEAKER_02: I was always just stone cold.
12:04
SPEAKER_02: But lo and behold, Tom Green is a guest on the show.
12:07
SPEAKER_02: Legendary Tom Green.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it was a slumber party episode that took place in Claudia's room, so it was a total like goth dungeon, basically.
12:15
SPEAKER_02: And uh he was this guy, he was like a reanimated mummy in this like full mummy outfit.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: And he just started ad-libbing and dancing with like a pair of underwear and singing a song about underwear, and I just remember just like shaking trying not to laugh.
12:32
SPEAKER_02: And I did, I finally laughed.
12:34
SPEAKER_02: I was like, No, my only time breaking is Claudio is Tom Green.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: Damn that.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: Listen, if you're gonna break it and it's gonna be by Tom Green, right?
12:41
SPEAKER_00: That's not that's not too bad.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: Listen, it could be worse.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: It could be, it could be worse.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: It could be worse.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: We actually that actually leads us to the next question.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: We um we we put out, you know, we want members and followers to ask questions for this episode, uh, which leads into the perfect first question.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: Littlehaw 16J asked, what's your favorite Claudia moment besides the Tom Green moment?
13:00
SPEAKER_02: Um Claudia moments.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: So um I have two very gross stories.

SPEAKER_02: You're fine with gross stories.
13:07

13:14
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm gonna go.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: I mean, quickly, I'm gonna tell these a couple.
13:17
SPEAKER_02: So I think the most memorable was when I did it, the did the sketch with Britney Spears because she was larger than life, top of her fame.
13:27
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't get I didn't get starstruck very often on the show because I didn't really know a lot of like I didn't really listen to a lot of popular music.
13:34
SPEAKER_02: So they'd have all these musical guests that I didn't really know.
13:37
SPEAKER_02: Looking back now, I'd be like, oh my god, I got to do what with who?
13:39
SPEAKER_02: Like but at the time, I'm like, I don't know who Usher is.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
13:43
SPEAKER_02: It's like embarrassing.
13:45
SPEAKER_02: Um but they had Britney Spears on as a guest star for our first season, so I'm like 13, 14.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: Um, and uh Claudia was supposed to drag her into the room by her wrist and be like, I found her, I got her, I got Britney.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: And she had such a massive entourage on set that I was so intimidated.
14:05
SPEAKER_02: And I I I'm waiting in this tiny little box with Britney, just me and her, waiting to hear action for us to go on the set.
14:15
SPEAKER_02: And I had her uh security guard come up to me and be like, You're gonna barely grab her hand.
14:21
SPEAKER_02: You're like barely gonna touch her, you're not gonna touch her till you hear action, you're only gonna grab her wrist, you're not gonna grab it tightly.
14:25
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I'm 13, like, okay, I'm gonna tell her.
14:28
SPEAKER_03: I'm so sorry.
14:29
SPEAKER_02: Um, but she was so sweet.
14:31
SPEAKER_02: That was I that felt very much like her handler telling me that.
14:34
SPEAKER_02: And I think she was like, I don't care.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
14:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I get that.
14:37
SPEAKER_02: Um, and she was funny and she was sweet, and she made me feel really comfortable.
14:41
SPEAKER_00: She really is a good actress.
14:42
SPEAKER_00: She's great.
14:43
SPEAKER_00: In uh How I Met Your Mother, I don't know if you saw that.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: She she was a guest star there.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: She was in like two episodes.
14:47
SPEAKER_00: She was great.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: She's great.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: She's she's very funny.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:52
SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah, so getting to do that with Brittany as Claudia was really fun.
14:55
SPEAKER_02: Um, and the other time I remember is uh Claudia would often work with creepy crawlies, bugs.
15:02
SPEAKER_02: And the first time I uh they gave me a tarantula to crawl up my arm, I had the spider wrangler come and talk to me.
15:09
SPEAKER_02: They're like, okay, you know, like this dude does this for a living, right?
15:12
SPEAKER_02: He's a spider wrangler.
15:13
SPEAKER_02: He's living in Hollywood.
15:15
SPEAKER_02: Like anytime a show needs a spider, he's like, I'm on it.
15:17
SPEAKER_00: He's the guy.
15:17
SPEAKER_02: Choosing which spider freeze gonna be oh, you.
15:20
SPEAKER_02: You know, it's just a crazy that's a crazy job in my mind.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Your accent is you're you're nailing the accent, by the way.
15:26
SPEAKER_02: I want a show that's about the days, day in the life of an animal handler in Hollywood.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: You know, I actually have a comment.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: It sounds like the spider wrangler and Britney's handler might be the same person.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: Because I think you did the same thing.
15:42
SPEAKER_02: They all sound the same to me.
15:44
SPEAKER_02: Um, but I mean, with Britney, there had to have been a snake wrangler for her famous same guy, maybe maybe.
15:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, dude, we had like a chicken wrangler.
15:53
SPEAKER_02: You got all the cockroach wrangler.
15:55
SPEAKER_02: We had all sorts of wranglers over the course of these four years.
15:59
SPEAKER_00: Do we need a wrangler for this podcast?
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, an Andrew Wrangler.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: An Andrew Wrangler.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: When I go off on tangents, we need somebody to come in.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
16:07
SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
16:09
SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, so at one point uh I had to have uh talk about the safety of this spider.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
16:15
SPEAKER_02: And he said something about um don't drop the spider because it will explode.
16:21
SPEAKER_02: That is what that is what he said.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: Explode.
16:24
SPEAKER_02: And I'm and he's like, I think he was trying to talk to me in like kid terms, like spider will explode.
16:28
SPEAKER_02: I think if I was an adult, he would not have said that.
16:30
SPEAKER_02: But he's like, the abdomen will pop off of the spider if it falls from more than two feet.
16:35
SPEAKER_02: So do not drop the spider.
16:37
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Oh my god.
16:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh, now I'm not afraid of the spider being on me.
16:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm a I'm scared of making the spider explode.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: Exploding the spider.
16:47
SPEAKER_02: And then that's on me, right?
16:49
SPEAKER_02: I don't want a spider handler mad at me, right?
16:53
SPEAKER_02: These are the spider wrangler.
16:56
SPEAKER_02: I don't want it mad at me.
16:57
SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, Claudia had the spider, the tarantula crawled my arms.
17:01
SPEAKER_02: Um, and then it in one sketch, I had to put a live cockroach in my mouth.
17:05
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
17:06
SPEAKER_02: Um, and at that point, that was season four, where like nothing phased us.
17:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:10
SPEAKER_02: You're on a Nickelodeon show, you're getting slimed, you're having messes thrown on you at all times.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: It's just just get it, let's just get it done.
17:17
SPEAKER_02: You know, cockroach, okay, done.
17:18
SPEAKER_02: All right, cool.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: Were you were you homeschooled?
17:21
SPEAKER_02: I was, yeah.
17:21
SPEAKER_02: How can you tell?
17:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm not socially awkward enough.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: It's not because of socially awkwardness.
17:33
SPEAKER_02: I try to hide it well, but you're like, mm-hmm.
17:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that makes sense.
17:37
SPEAKER_02: Cool.
17:40
SPEAKER_02: No leading.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: I just meant as a child having that sort of fame, uh, going to school and you know, bet uh understanding getting the education still while doing all this has got to be tough.
17:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was uh so I were I forgive you first.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, thank you.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Um I was I was homeschooled uh pretty much my entire life because I was a competitive dancer.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: Okay, and my schedule for dancing was so intense and singing and theater, like I was doing all the things from a very young age.
18:09
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
18:10
SPEAKER_02: And it just it was just overwhelming me to go to school all day and then go to dance for two hours and then go to a theater rehearsal.
18:18
SPEAKER_02: It was just too much.
18:19
SPEAKER_02: And um, I loved being homeschooled.
18:21
SPEAKER_02: I really, really liked it.
18:22
SPEAKER_02: It was just me and my cats hanging out every day.
18:25
SPEAKER_00: What's not to like about that?
18:26
SPEAKER_02: And now I have a podcast of me and my cats.
18:28
SPEAKER_02: I can now connect these dots and stuff like that.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: It's all it's all making sense.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: It's all making sense right now.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: Here on the Hey Big Click show.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: We have one more question to talk about, and then we'll we'll get to a little bit something a little bit more current.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah um Snow Nut 18.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: By the way, I'm loving these user, the user names that are submitting these questions.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: Uh they wanted to know about the slime, and I wanted to know that since I was a kid, what does the slime actually feel like?
18:50
SPEAKER_00: Because on a Nickelodeon, you get this green slime.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: Just that that that was their thing.
18:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:54
SPEAKER_01: And there was more than one kind, too, wasn't it?
18:56
SPEAKER_02: More than one kind, yes.
18:58
SPEAKER_02: I recently uh posted a video of me and Katrina Johnson from all that talking about the slime, and uh yeah, the couple different consistencies of slime, okay, right?
19:07
SPEAKER_02: There was the one that was mostly vanilla pudding and tapioca pudding, kind of a mixture that was very like sticky and slimy and then there was one of applesauce, which was a little more chunky but easier to like get off your skin.
19:21
SPEAKER_02: My favorite slime story was for some ungodly reason, I wanted to be blonde for my fourth season of all that.
19:30
SPEAKER_02: I don't know why.
19:31
SPEAKER_02: Like I was the redhead, I should have just embraced that.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I want to be blonde.
19:35
SPEAKER_02: Um, never looked good on me, but here we are.
19:38
SPEAKER_02: Um, so I was platinum blonde, and I did a promo for Nickelodeon, and they slimed me.
19:45
SPEAKER_02: And because I had to have the slime sit on my hair for so long while we were filming and doing whatever, um, it stained my hair green.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and nice.
19:55
SPEAKER_02: Not like a cute alt girl green, like a dirty dishwater gross burger green.
20:01
SPEAKER_02: Goblin burger green.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: Nasty.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so the lot of a lot of green dye in the slime.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Do you ever look back on your tenure as uh a cast member on the show?
20:11
SPEAKER_00: Uh or do you ever just watch old episodes of you?
20:14
SPEAKER_02: I do.
20:15
SPEAKER_02: So uh so I wake up every morning and I make myself a cup of tea, and I just put on uh old episodes of me and I just watch myself for three seconds.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Is your alarm clock Claudia saying something and talking to yourself?
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Like, wake up.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: I wish.
20:28
SPEAKER_02: No, it's the all that theme song.
20:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course, obviously.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: And the one of me singing it, right?
20:32
SPEAKER_02: Not the original.
20:32
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
20:33
SPEAKER_02: Talk about a narcissist.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: No, it's you're fitting right in on this show, by the way.
20:37
SPEAKER_00: This is great.
20:38
SPEAKER_02: I do feel at home.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: Good.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
20:40
SPEAKER_02: Um, no, it's it's actually kind of sad because I don't know what happened.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: I believe it's some kind of contract issue that my seasons have never been released on DVD or a streaming service.
20:52
SPEAKER_02: Some of the some of the earlier all that episodes are available to stream and the most recent reboot in 2019.
20:58
SPEAKER_02: Right.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: Um, you can see those very easily.
21:02
SPEAKER_02: Right.
21:02
SPEAKER_02: But for some reason, like my seasons are only available on YouTube by some wonderful person uploading all the episodes.
21:09
SPEAKER_02: So that is the only time I can kind of go see them.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: But um it's yeah, it's always fun when I find like a kind of a decent quality version on YouTube and I get to kind of relive it and be like, oh my gosh, I remember that skitch.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: Listen, I think this is an important uh important time to reveal this.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: I am the person uploading all of those.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
21:27
SPEAKER_02: You're welcome.

21:39
SPEAKER_02: Yes, pirating Slime Master video.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: Um so when all that ended, which was you know, I don't even remember what what what year that was, what did the next year or so of your life look like?
21:56
SPEAKER_02: So I did did I do Malcolm before after that?
21:58
SPEAKER_02: No, I think I did.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: Malcolm season three.
22:01
SPEAKER_02: So I want to say my last season with Nickelodeon was like 2005.
22:06
unknown: I don't know.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: Let's go with that.
22:08
SPEAKER_02: Let's say that.
22:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
22:08
SPEAKER_02: 2005.
22:10
SPEAKER_02: Um, did a couple more guest appearances, uh, a couple little movie parts, commercials, just kind of stayed active, and Nickelodeon was still having me do promos and you know, hosting stuff for them.
22:21
SPEAKER_02: But uh, I did move away to get like a real college experience and you know, have a little taste of normal life after the show, which I'm really, really thankful for because Hollywood is not real.
22:34
SPEAKER_02: It's a fictional, magical, fairy tale place um and an interesting environment to grow up in when during your formative years, right?
22:44
SPEAKER_02: Like I'm 16 and I have acne and I I don't know, you know, if does that boy like me?
22:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to be pretty and I'm trying to be cool, and yet I have, you know, people on the internet like judging me and red carpet photos that I don't like, and then I'm feeling self-conscious.
22:58
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
22:59
SPEAKER_02: It was just a lot of that um that I had to go through publicly, right?
23:04
SPEAKER_02: It's so much worse for child actors now because of the internet and social media.
23:08
SPEAKER_02: Like, I can't imagine.
23:09
SPEAKER_02: Um, but I did get I tasted a little bit of it, and also just not go getting to go anywhere without being mobbed by kids.
23:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta remember, like now, there's there's so many things to watch on a Saturday night.
23:22
SPEAKER_02: There's all the streaming services, there's all the channels, there's the internet, there's TikTok.

24:01
SPEAKER_02: The Disney kids, the right Disney kids were a little soft.
24:05
SPEAKER_02: Nick kids a little cut back.
24:06
SPEAKER_02: A little scrappier Montana earlier.
24:09
SPEAKER_02: Bass Belluth.

24:18
SPEAKER_02: So you try to go to the mall, yeah, I I'm just getting mobbed.
24:22

24:29
SPEAKER_02: Around celebrities.
24:30
SPEAKER_02: Like they think they know you because you're in their house every Saturday night.
24:33
SPEAKER_02: Um, not literally.
24:34
SPEAKER_02: Um, but they see you like shopping at Limited 2, and they're just like, what is that?
24:38
SPEAKER_02: And they just tack they would just tackle me.
24:40
SPEAKER_02: And then I'm just and then those kids would see that and then suddenly there's like a whole group of kids, and I'm just like, uh, you know, it's a lot to handle.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: You almost always have to be on stage, even when you're out in public, which has got to be tough.
24:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, kind of gotta be on.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you have to be on.
24:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you have to like try to look good and wear a little makeup.
24:58
SPEAKER_02: And um, yeah, I don't remember what we were originally talking about.
25:01
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, yeah, there's now you have a thousand things to watch, but back then it was like, yeah, you watch Nicolating.
25:07
SPEAKER_00: You actually you did go back as an adult too to all that for Yes, I did.
25:11
SPEAKER_02: Me and Mark Saul got to um guest star in the same episode.
25:15
SPEAKER_02: So I saw that they were uh revamping all that in 2019 and Keenan and Kell were producing it.
25:22
SPEAKER_02: And you know, you always of course I had that feeling of like I want to be involved.
25:28
SPEAKER_02: Like, this is my family, this is my home.
25:29
SPEAKER_02: Like, I wonder if they'll call me.
25:32
SPEAKER_02: Um, and uh they did the first season, and then sure enough, I got a call from my agent that was like, Hey, um, all that wants to know if you want to guess from like yes, like I didn't even finish like yes, all that.
25:44
SPEAKER_02: Um, and the crazy thing is that it it didn't film in the same sound stage because I was on Nick on Sunset Um and they're in a wherever they are in Burbank.
25:53
SPEAKER_02: Um, but a lot of the same crew is still there that worked on my season.
25:58
SPEAKER_02: So the same guy, Michael Johnson, who was doing my makeup at 14, is now doing my makeup as an adult.
26:04
SPEAKER_02: And just a lot of friendly faces.
26:07
SPEAKER_02: I remember standing on that sound stage when they played the all that theme song over the speakers, and I'm just like, I'm home.
26:12
SPEAKER_00: Like this is like pure nostalgia.
26:14
SPEAKER_02: It was pure nostalgia.
26:15
SPEAKER_02: And to be able to do that with um Mark Saul as well, because I was a big fan of his and he's the sweetest.
26:20
SPEAKER_02: And you know, you never you wonder, right?
26:22
SPEAKER_02: Because I didn't know how meeting the cast was gonna go because I'm like, these kids are so young.
26:26
SPEAKER_02: Like, did they even watch my seasons?
26:29
SPEAKER_02: Like, do they even know me?
26:30
SPEAKER_02: Are they gonna like think I'm old and lame?
26:33
SPEAKER_02: But they were so sweet, and they they knew my characters and they had all these questions, and I felt very welcomed and embraced on the beautiful on the new all that yeah.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: On a somewhat serious note, uh obviously we had that documentary a few years back about you know the dark side of it.
26:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: Did you get a chance to watch that?
26:51
SPEAKER_02: I did, I did watch it.
26:52
SPEAKER_00: Um what are your thoughts on that?
26:54
SPEAKER_00: Being that you weren't necessarily in the the era that they focused on mainly, but you were definitely a part of Nickelodeon, you know, in the Tay Day for sure.
27:04
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think I was actually part of the season that was definitely my 90s through like 2010-ish.
27:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was actually it was actually a lot of my time that they that they covered.
27:14
SPEAKER_02: Um I'm not gonna go into too much of it because it's also it's obviously very controversial.
27:18
SPEAKER_02: Right.
27:18
SPEAKER_02: And everybody has their own experiences, and I'm not here to tell anybody that their experience was right or wrong or whatever.
27:25
SPEAKER_02: All I have to say is that my experience from beginning to end was wonderful.
27:29
SPEAKER_02: I had the greatest childhood.
27:31
SPEAKER_02: I always felt safe.
27:32
SPEAKER_02: I loved the people around me.
27:34
SPEAKER_02: It was just I was the girl that sh showed up too early and then left an hour late because I was so I was having so much fun talking with like the makeup and hair department and going up to wardrobe and bugging them and then going to editing and like going to the props department.
27:49
SPEAKER_02: I just loved being there all the time.
27:52

28:36
SPEAKER_02: I'm so glad you snort as much as I do.
28:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm really trying to hold it back.
28:39
SPEAKER_02: I'm nor I'm normally gonna snorter.
28:40
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
28:41
SPEAKER_00: We want it all.
28:42
SPEAKER_00: We want it all.
28:43
SPEAKER_02: So he was working on the Big Bang Theory.
28:46
SPEAKER_02: He was running, he was doing post-production for Big Bang.
28:49
SPEAKER_02: And I and it was the time in Hollywood where all of my auditions were suddenly online.
28:53
SPEAKER_02: So it was so expensive to live there that even though he was working on the number one show on television and I was still working pretty consistently, it was it's still very hard to pay our rent.
29:02
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
29:03
SPEAKER_02: Like it's like crazy, like$2,000 for a studio apartment.
29:06
SPEAKER_02: So he had had connections in Vegas, he had lived here before, and he was like, We should move to Vegas.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Oh, the place of slob machines and strippers, like that people don't live there.
29:16
SPEAKER_02: And he's like, People actually don't live there, you ignorant, you know.
29:20
SPEAKER_02: So he brought me out here to visit.
29:22
SPEAKER_02: And um, yeah, I loved it.
29:24
SPEAKER_02: And we rolled the dice and we moved out here, and it's kind of that perfect place where I can still drive back and forth to Hollywood when I need to.
29:30
SPEAKER_02: Um, I was just in LA for an event.
29:32
SPEAKER_02: Um, it's a pretty easy drive back and forth, but yet um I love the little industry out here.
29:37
SPEAKER_02: Like, I've really if it took me a couple years to find my tribe and find my home here, but now like I don't want to leave.
29:43
SPEAKER_00: The entertainment side of Las Vegas, it really is a close-knit community, which I love.
29:47
SPEAKER_00: There are so many with so many extremely talented performers and entertainers here in the city.
29:52
SPEAKER_00: I am so fortunate that we're we're here because we get to beat people like you and you know, Radical West, and you know, all these musicians and performers.
29:59
SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's incredible how many are here, and it doesn't seem like a toxic environment.
30:06
SPEAKER_00: Like people they are very talented and and they they could be cocky, they could be very materialistic and you know narcissistic, but they're not.
30:13
SPEAKER_00: They're they're very supportive of one another, they show up to each other's events, they reshare content on social media.
30:20
SPEAKER_00: It really is a great community.
30:22
SPEAKER_00: Have you seen that on on your side as well?
30:24
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
30:25
SPEAKER_02: I think Hollywood is super cutthroat, and I had a lot of bad experiences with people who just befriend you because they want something out of you, and just um yeah, not the greatest place to make friends and work, but um yeah, here I've found the same thing.
30:40
SPEAKER_02: Very small community, and it actually doesn't serve anyone to have an ego.
30:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
30:44
SPEAKER_02: Uh, because I always say it's a very incestuous little industry because it's small and everybody knows each other.
30:49
SPEAKER_02: We all have to borrow each other's musicians all the time.
30:52
SPEAKER_02: Like this constantly happens.
30:53
SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, my bass player can't do this gig.
30:55
SPEAKER_02: Can I borrow yours?
30:56
SPEAKER_02: Sure, but my singer can't do it.

SPEAKER_02: So yeah, my show took off, um, and some other video game outlets uh picked me up and I did shows for them and wrote a lot of comedic articles.
41:55
SPEAKER_02: Um, but I just totally loved it.
41:57
SPEAKER_02: I kind of found a way to mesh acting and hosting and playing games and everything I loved.
42:02
SPEAKER_00: And it's funny how it all just kind of comes together like that.
42:05
SPEAKER_02: It all comes together.
42:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:06
SPEAKER_00: I love that.
42:07
SPEAKER_00: What's a video game opinion that you refuse to back down on?
42:11
SPEAKER_00: Like this is this is my opinion on this video game.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: It may not be the most popular, but this is how I feel about it, and you can't convince me otherwise.
42:17
SPEAKER_02: I think the Super Nintendo version of Aladdin is superior to the Psycho Genesis version.
42:22
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
42:23
SPEAKER_00: Wow, why would you say that, first of all?
42:25

SPEAKER_00: It had one of the hardest levels.
42:34
SPEAKER_00: I forgot what with Lovo it was, but yeah.
42:36
SPEAKER_00: Aladdin was like.
42:37
SPEAKER_02: I'm probably in the 2% of people who think that.
42:38
SPEAKER_00: Really?
42:39
SPEAKER_00: Just so you know.
42:40
SPEAKER_02: You're gonna get this whole video is gonna get downvoted now.
42:42
SPEAKER_02: Like you said.
42:43
SPEAKER_00: Our entire audience is totally split now because it's not segment.
42:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:47
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
42:48
SPEAKER_00: What um what's your favorite game you've played?
42:51
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm a big fan of uh the Monkey Island series because um I love that it's a comedic video game, which is very hard to achieve for many years to have a video game that was funny and also difficult and just a well-rounded game all around, like a good game.
43:08
SPEAKER_02: And Ron Gilbert was always my hero.
43:11
SPEAKER_02: He made um him and Tim Schaefer made the Monkey Island games and they're point and click, so they're mystery, like adventures.
43:17
SPEAKER_02: Um, but just the way the dialogue is written, not even having voiceovers at that time, it's just words you read on a screen, just like laughing hysterically at this game.
43:26
SPEAKER_02: And it made me want to write dialogue for video games.
43:29
SPEAKER_02: It made me want to do voiceovers for video games, it made me want to write sc screenplays.
43:33
SPEAKER_02: Like this just something about playing that game, growing up with my dad and loving it so much that yeah, great memories.
43:40
SPEAKER_01: Not to talk about myself.
43:41
SPEAKER_01: Please do.
43:42
SPEAKER_00: Please, we've talked about ourselves the entire episode.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: Have you ever played Cold to the Lamb?
43:46
SPEAKER_01: I have not.
43:47
SPEAKER_01: You have to play it, it's very fun.
43:48

43:58
SPEAKER_01: I will show you them after the show.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: But one's a cute little like demonic lamb and the other one's a demonic goat.
44:04
SPEAKER_01: Speak really expensive.
44:05
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna show up to the punk rock museum if that's okay.
44:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dude.
44:09
SPEAKER_02: I love a deep cut Halloween costume too.
44:11
SPEAKER_02: It's like most people don't know who you are, but that one person's like and it's worth it.
44:16
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it's totally worth it.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: Uh who's Kevin?
44:19
SPEAKER_02: Um two of them.
44:21
SPEAKER_02: See?
44:22
SPEAKER_00: Kevin, the co-host.
44:23
SPEAKER_00: Um really hoping not to talk about him today.
44:26
SPEAKER_02: Stealing my spotlight, but here we are.
44:28
SPEAKER_02: Let's talk about Kevin.
44:30
SPEAKER_02: You'd bring him, and then you didn't.
44:31
SPEAKER_02: You should have brought him.
44:32
SPEAKER_02: I know.
44:32
SPEAKER_02: Just coat this place in cat hair.
44:34
SPEAKER_02: Just vomiting in the corner.
44:35
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, that's Kevin.
44:37
SPEAKER_02: That's him.
44:38
SPEAKER_00: That's cat life right there.
44:39
SPEAKER_02: That's cat life.
44:40
SPEAKER_02: That's cat living.
44:41
SPEAKER_02: But why two of them?
44:42
SPEAKER_02: Well, so me and my husband wanted to get a cat, right?
44:46
SPEAKER_02: Because that's what you do before you have kids.
44:48
SPEAKER_02: You see if you can raise an animal together.
44:50
SPEAKER_02: And I'd had cats all my life, and I'm like, we need a cat.
44:53
SPEAKER_02: So we went to go get this cat, and the um foster mom was like, So the orange cat that you were looking at, we can't find him.
45:02
SPEAKER_02: Will you please hold his sister in the meantime?
45:04
SPEAKER_02: Amazing tactic, right?
45:06
SPEAKER_03: So that's sales 101.
45:08
SPEAKER_02: I liked it.
45:08
SPEAKER_02: I liked it at the time.
45:09
SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, sure.
45:11
SPEAKER_02: But now I'm like, oh, that's so smart.
45:12
SPEAKER_02: Because then you fall in love with the sister, and then now you gotta get both.
45:16
SPEAKER_02: The problem is that, oh, and they eventually found the orange one sleeping in a drawer.
45:20
SPEAKER_02: Funny.
45:20
SPEAKER_02: So then we had two.
45:22
SPEAKER_02: The problem is we had already picked out the name Kevin.
45:24
SPEAKER_02: So we didn't have time or energy to come up with another name.
45:28
SPEAKER_02: So then I'm like, okay, well, now I guess we have girl Kevin and boy Kevin.
45:30
SPEAKER_02: They're brother and sister, and that's just the way, the way it is.
45:34
SPEAKER_02: And it's not weird.
45:35
SPEAKER_02: Totally normal.
45:37
SPEAKER_00: When you yell at Kevin, does the other one respond, or does they both just kind of scatter away?
45:41
SPEAKER_02: I kind of go like girl Kevin, and I go like boy Kevin, and they kind of know the tone of voice.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: Are you the cat wrangler?
45:48
SPEAKER_00: Is that what you are?
45:48
SPEAKER_02: I am working on it, trying to make it a professional.
45:50
SPEAKER_02: We'll make it a thing.
45:51
SPEAKER_02: I just don't wrangle them very well, right?
45:53
SPEAKER_02: If you watch the podcast, they're just here and there and fighting.
45:55
SPEAKER_02: And it's like, I don't think that's gonna be good for my professional wrangler career to have that footage out there of me not having control.
46:01
SPEAKER_02: Big thing in Wranglering.
46:03
SPEAKER_00: What does what does Kevin bring to the show as a co-host, that a human co-host?
46:10
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, that's not the answer I was expecting.
46:15
SPEAKER_00: Not at all.
46:16
SPEAKER_00: Was that the answer?
46:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I thought you were gonna go with like a bad energy.
46:19
SPEAKER_02: No, yeah, that too.
46:20
unknown: No.
46:22
SPEAKER_02: Um I don't know what happened.
46:24
SPEAKER_02: I just uh I think he's just been so used to me setting up cameras and filming since he was a kitten that he's like, I need to make this about me.
46:33
SPEAKER_02: And so now every time, like without fail, he'll hear me set up the camera for the podcast, start turning stuff on, turn on the big light, and sure enough, son of a bee, he's bro, bro, bro, bro, gets on the set and just sitting there, just like just chilling.
46:46
SPEAKER_00: Love that.
46:47
SPEAKER_02: I'm ready.
46:48
SPEAKER_00: Do you do you enjoy having the total control over like your own show as opposed to being on a show where you're just kind of doing what other people tell you to do?
46:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my whole uh the whole point of my podcast, Temperamental with Lisa Foyles, was it was actually an exercise for me in letting go and being imperfect.
47:07
SPEAKER_02: Because um a funny thing about being on all that, people think it was a lot of improv.
47:12
SPEAKER_02: It absolutely was not.
47:13
SPEAKER_02: In fact, um, we pretty much had to say every line of dialogue word for word, the way it was written by the writers.
47:19
SPEAKER_02: And I think that's probably because it's children's television, right?
47:22
SPEAKER_02: And like if it if this is the writing approved by the network, this is the writing you need to say.
47:26
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
47:26
SPEAKER_02: I vividly remember times where I would like change a couple words in a line and they'd cut and be like, that's actually not the line.
47:32
SPEAKER_02: Like, can you change it to this?
47:33
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Oh, yeah.
47:34
SPEAKER_02: So I was very for four years I went to the school of Nickelodeon of like say it perfectly.
47:39
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, we had a lot of freedom with the characters themselves and the actions and the movements, but when it came to the actual lines of dialogue, they really wanted it the way it was written.
47:48
SPEAKER_02: And that um that kind of perfectionism stuck with me for years after the show.
47:54
SPEAKER_02: I would um, even when I was making my own YouTube videos, I would like script them out first and I would like memorize my own words and then say it to the camera, and then if I didn't like it, I'd do it again.
48:03
SPEAKER_02: And I just did that for so many years that I'm like, I need to just be myself and just let whatever's gonna come out, come out, and not worry about perfection, and not worry about if I can't remember the word polarizing, and just just do it, right?
48:16
SPEAKER_02: So I forced myself to do it, and I've never had so much fun.
48:19
SPEAKER_02: Like it's it's it's a blast.
48:21
SPEAKER_02: Having the cats there, it is you know what?
48:23
SPEAKER_02: I give them a lot of crap, but they're they're great cats.
48:25
SPEAKER_02: They really are.
48:26
SPEAKER_00: What more do you need in life?
48:27
SPEAKER_00: When you have cats, you got your show, you got you got all sorts of things.
48:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm living the dream.
48:30
SPEAKER_02: You really live in the dream.
48:32
unknown: Yeah.
48:32
SPEAKER_00: I heard a rumor.
48:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh god.
48:34
SPEAKER_02: Not true.
48:35
SPEAKER_02: Whatever it is, not true.
48:36
SPEAKER_00: You moved to Vegas to also get closer to uh Area 51 and like aliens.
48:42
SPEAKER_00: Is is that true?
48:43
SPEAKER_00: And do you believe in aliens?
48:44
SPEAKER_02: Tom was right.
48:46
SPEAKER_02: Tom was right.
48:48
SPEAKER_02: That's all I have to say on the matter.
48:50
SPEAKER_00: Wait what did Tom say?
48:52
SPEAKER_00: What the hell did Tom say?
48:53
SPEAKER_02: You know what Tom is right?
48:54
unknown: No.
48:55
SPEAKER_02: Who do you think I'm referring to when I say Tom is right?
48:56
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm assuming because you pointed at your shirt, Blink182.
48:59
SPEAKER_01: I think you're talking about Tom Riddle.
49:00
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Tom Riddle.
49:01
unknown: Yes.
49:02
SPEAKER_00: From Harry's Tom Riddle.
49:03

49:04
SPEAKER_01: No! Where's Tom Riddle?
49:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, it's not Harry Potter, but it's from Harry Potter.
49:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, explain to me what's going on here.
49:09
SPEAKER_00: Because I am so lost.
49:10
SPEAKER_00: I'm on my own show.
49:12
SPEAKER_02: Blink 182 because he was so into his alien conspiracy theory.
49:17
SPEAKER_02: You know.
49:17
SPEAKER_02: Is that why they broke up?
49:18
SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's I think there's a lot of reasons.
49:20
SPEAKER_02: But no, he is like fully invested in the alien theory, and I'm like, bro, I'm in.
49:25
SPEAKER_02: I've never had any kind of experience with aliens.
49:28
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
49:28
SPEAKER_02: It's uh I don't know.
49:30
SPEAKER_02: I don't have strong opinions one way or the other, but I like Tom DeLong, so Tom was right.
49:34
SPEAKER_01: Well, you one time said that if aliens offered you a job, you would go with alien theme park roller coaster designer.
49:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't remember saying that, but that absolutely sounds like something I could say.
49:48
SPEAKER_01: Is that what you would still go with if aliens said, Lisa, you have to come work for us?
49:53
SPEAKER_02: First of all, I'll it it's work, right?

53:51
SPEAKER_02: They were right on.
53:52
SPEAKER_02: They were totally spot on.
53:54
SPEAKER_02: That's a pro that's a problem.
53:56
SPEAKER_02: They couldn't have photoshopped that smaller.
53:57
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, Jesus.
53:59
SPEAKER_00: Is that all you think about now?
54:00
SPEAKER_00: Your your there's your your big mouth.
54:02
SPEAKER_00: Like, are you self-conscious about your big mouth?
54:04
SPEAKER_02: Well, see, I thought it was out of my life forever.
54:06
SPEAKER_02: I wasn't self-conscious until that happened, right?
54:09
SPEAKER_02: I had no idea I had a big giant mouth until they told me over and over, and then I saw it on a giant billboard, but then the billboard went away, right?
54:15
SPEAKER_02: Because, you know, in Vegas we turn we turn over a new billboard every couple weeks.
54:20
SPEAKER_02: I thought it was out of my life forever.
54:22
SPEAKER_02: I'm like that whole photo shoot, that whole experience, it's gone.
54:25
SPEAKER_02: Until I was driving home from California and I looked to the right and I'm like, that's me from that shoot on a roller coaster shitting my pants.
54:32
SPEAKER_02: Why?
54:32
SPEAKER_02: This was years ago.

SPEAKER_00: You don't have a big mouth.
54:42
SPEAKER_02: I'm not paid for it.
54:43
SPEAKER_02: It's fine.

55:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Matt has four eyes.
55:22
SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
55:25
SPEAKER_00: Now I'm self-conscious because before the episode I said, should I wear glasses or should I wear contacts?
55:31
SPEAKER_00: Everybody goes glasses, wear glasses.
55:33
SPEAKER_00: And now Lisa's here.
55:35
SPEAKER_01: I'm just latching out.
55:36
SPEAKER_01: I like the glasses.
55:37

SPEAKER_00: Because he chooses gum up.
55:54
SPEAKER_02: I work too hard and I'm too good looking and I'm a gum smacker.
55:57
SPEAKER_02: That's what we're calling it.
55:59
SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
56:00
SPEAKER_02: I feel like a celebrity fight with me.
56:02
SPEAKER_02: With what, three other people?
56:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, could you fight?
56:05
SPEAKER_02: I feel like it would only work if it was like super nostalgic.
56:08
SPEAKER_02: It would have to be like three of my old cast members, right?
56:10
SPEAKER_02: So who?
56:10
SPEAKER_02: Maybe in like the big sumo suits.
56:12
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
56:12
SPEAKER_02: I'd fight Jack and I'd fight Giovanni and I'd fight Chelsea.
56:16
SPEAKER_02: Why?
56:17
SPEAKER_02: Three girls again.
56:18
SPEAKER_02: Sounds like you kind of just take them down.
56:20
SPEAKER_02: Those big sumo are awesome by them.
56:22
SPEAKER_02: I love them so much.
56:23
SPEAKER_02: But it would be fun to get in some sumo suits.
56:25
SPEAKER_02: Do the fight with those big Q-tip looking things in the world.
56:28
SPEAKER_00: What do we need to do to get you guys in sumo suits and have a fight here in the studio?
56:32
SPEAKER_02: We could probably get it done in a week.
56:34
SPEAKER_00: I'm all for it.
56:34
SPEAKER_02: We're all looking for work.
56:37
SPEAKER_00: We're all looking for work.
56:38
SPEAKER_00: If aliens come down, I love your answer.
56:39
SPEAKER_00: If aliens come down, it's work.
56:42
SPEAKER_00: You're doing it.
56:43
SPEAKER_02: Look, take what we can get.
56:45
SPEAKER_00: Is there so let's let's kind of take a look back.
56:51
SPEAKER_00: Is there anything that like teenage Lisa, if she knew what you're doing now, would be like blown away with the fact that you're you know headlining the punk rock museum, you got a band, you got this, you got the show, you have cats, you're married.
57:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, what do you think teenage Lisa would never believe that is real life for you right now?
57:09
SPEAKER_02: I believe that my kid self would think I'm the coolest motherfucker around.
57:13
SPEAKER_02: I really do believe that.
57:14
SPEAKER_02: Like I love my life and I choose projects uh based on just do I want to do it?
57:19
SPEAKER_02: And do I think this is cool and will I have fun?
57:21
SPEAKER_02: Like, I kind of just don't care what other people think anymore.
57:24
SPEAKER_02: Just kind of I started a punk band late in life, right?
57:27
SPEAKER_02: Like it takes balls to do that.
57:29
SPEAKER_02: Um I think a cool thing was that uh remember I said I was Claudia on the shows, goth girl that was not my personality at the time, but uh I feel like being embodying this character for the four years on all that, it actually made me like more curious about alt lifestyle and like goth culture and different kind of music.
57:49
SPEAKER_02: And suddenly I'm listening to the misfits, I'm listening to like you know, emo music.
57:53
SPEAKER_02: And um, that did kind of start to like shape me.
57:57
SPEAKER_02: I started to kind of have like a goth phase after all that, after a couple years.
58:02
SPEAKER_02: And um, at the end of each season, we got to keep a lot of the wardrobe and accessories because it wasn't gonna fit us the next year, usually, or or they just wanted new ones, you know, refresh it.
58:11
SPEAKER_02: So they actually gave me a ton of like goth cuffs and chokers and like fake nose rings and stuff.
58:16
SPEAKER_02: They just gave it to me.
58:17
SPEAKER_02: And a lot there's pieces of that jewelry that I still wear on stage today.
58:22
SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
58:22
SPEAKER_02: My first band I was in um in Vegas was called Vaughn Bolt, and there's a metal band.
58:27
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
58:27
SPEAKER_02: And it was first band I've ever been in, um, terrified to be on stage in this like like heavy metal horror Halloween band, right?
58:37
SPEAKER_02: But like the dark makeup and you know, the the cuffs, and like it almost felt like I was um cosplaying, yeah, right, as opposed to like being becoming that.
58:50
SPEAKER_02: And the videos of the first couple shows and be on stage are like so embarrassing.
58:53
SPEAKER_02: I'm just kind of like step-touching to the side of the back of the stage.
58:57
SPEAKER_02: Were you lead singer of this band?
58:58
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, no, backup, backup singer, like backup vocals.
59:01
SPEAKER_02: Um, so I was a trained opera singer, and opera can sound very beautiful in metal music.
59:06
SPEAKER_02: Just the the contrast of the pretty high with the, you know, it's just um it worked really well in this band.
59:13
SPEAKER_02: And it just uh it took me a lot of shows of just gaining confidence to move from being in the back of the stage doing the little step touch to being like jumping around and jumping off the riser and like going into the crowd and just kind of becoming this like metal singer.
59:29
SPEAKER_02: And I I loved it.
59:30
SPEAKER_02: And it was actually who like it was it, I wasn't cosplaying anymore.
59:34
SPEAKER_02: I really genuinely loved the music.
59:36
SPEAKER_02: I loved doing this, and then that turned into um doing more punk and then performing in more bands around town.
59:42
SPEAKER_02: And now I'm like the most confident lead singer you are gonna see in this town, almost to a fault.
59:46
SPEAKER_02: Whereas for some venues, they're like, You're too much, you move around too much, you're too over the top.
59:51
SPEAKER_02: Like, you do it's it's can you just stand there a little more?
59:53
SPEAKER_02: Can you just stand there and say I'm like, absolutely not?
59:55
SPEAKER_02: This is who I am as a performer.
59:57
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna be insane, I'm gonna put on the best show these people have ever seen and just be entertaining.
1:00:02
SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah, it it's Claudia in a weird way, like Claudia grown up.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_02: I kind of turned into a version of the stuff.
1:00:10
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_02: Oh, isn't that cool?
1:00:13
SPEAKER_00: And by the way, you were not over the top on this episode.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_00: You are the appropriate amount of chaotic and moving around.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_00: Never over spontaneity.
1:00:20
SPEAKER_00: How did you get hooked up with Radical West?
1:00:22
SPEAKER_00: So I I knew Radical West before uh Frenzy Fest, but I think that was their first introduction to your favorite member of Radical West.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_00: Uh Name Five Songs.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, name five songs.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm not wearing a Radical West shirt.
1:00:32
SPEAKER_00: I'm not wearing a Radio.
1:00:34
SPEAKER_02: And they're like, yeah, we do that one.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_02: Uh their catalog is like 200 cover songs.
1:00:39
SPEAKER_02: You'll probably guess right.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_00: We actually, so what even before you guys were hired, we I almost had Radical West on the show, but they were like, uh I was texting them.
1:00:47
SPEAKER_00: This is two years ago, maybe, and they were like, we have a big band.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_00: I was like, I know, because they have a handful of members in there.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, five, five of them.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:00:53
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I didn't know if our studio, the last studio, could fit all the people in there, so we didn't end up.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_02: Plus their egos, they wouldn't fit the egos there.
1:01:02
SPEAKER_00: No, but they're incredible, they're incredible performers.
1:01:05
SPEAKER_00: They were, I mean, every every band at Frenzy Fest did an incredible job, but Radical West had uh a huge turnout because everybody knew that's sound.
1:01:13
SPEAKER_00: But now you you perform with them as well.
1:01:16
SPEAKER_00: You're you're you're part of Radical West, right?
1:01:17
SPEAKER_02: I do.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_02: I like to think I'm a part-time member of Radical West.
1:01:20
SPEAKER_02: But I watched the episode with Woody talking about um the whole Frenzy Fest.
1:01:23
SPEAKER_02: Like that is so cool how much he's supporting the local music scene.
1:01:26
SPEAKER_02: And yes, you know, I love these guys to death.
1:01:28
SPEAKER_02: So um basically I I was friends with the band.
1:01:32
SPEAKER_02: I'd I'd known the bass player and Radical Lonnie for many years, and um I was kind of fresh out of the metal band and wanting to gig a little bit more.
1:01:41
SPEAKER_02: And uh they every once in a while needed a sub for Cameron because they gig constantly.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_02: And they have, like I said, they have such a big roster of songs that like it's really hard to just kind of pull any fresh singer off the street to get up there with them because they all have chemistry and they have cues, and and um I was just such a fan of their band that I'm like I'm willing to learn all of these songs like by heart and memorize them and work with you and like be the sub, like this, your your official sub, Cameron.
1:02:12
SPEAKER_02: Like anytime you're not here, like call me.
1:02:14
SPEAKER_02: Um and uh so I did.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_02: It's funny, I I I took a trip to Scotland.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_02: I was in Scotland for three weeks, and every time I was on an airplane or a bus or a train or a ferry, any mode of transportation, I was just sitting with my radical west playlist, like going over the songs, learning them, memorizing the lyrics so that when I got back into town, I could just step on stage with them and be up to their caliber, right?
1:02:37
SPEAKER_02: Because they're incredible, they're so tight, and they're all like just you know, professionally trained musicians.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_02: They're just it's I I wanted to fit in and not stand out like you know, the weird girl doesn't know her cues.
1:02:52
SPEAKER_02: Um and Zach is the best member of the band.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_02: Just wanted to put that out there.
1:02:57
SPEAKER_02: Shout out, Zach.
1:02:57
SPEAKER_02: Like by far, like there's no contest, like Zach.
1:03:00
SPEAKER_00: It's actually embarrassing how how ahead of he is of everybody else.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_02: Crazy embarrassing.
1:03:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's the drummer.
1:03:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, it should be Zach featuring Radical West.
1:03:07
SPEAKER_02: It should be.
1:03:08
SPEAKER_02: So I'm a part-time member of Zach featuring Radical West.
1:03:11
SPEAKER_02: Love that.
1:03:12
SPEAKER_04: Love that for you.
1:03:14
SPEAKER_02: But no, that's been uh it's been really fun to uh perform with those guys.
1:03:18
SPEAKER_02: They do a lot of yacht rock, which is another genre I never would have found myself in.
1:03:22
SPEAKER_02: Because again, it's actually a very male-dominated genre.
1:03:25
SPEAKER_02: There's not a lot of like women in yacht rock.
1:03:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess I never really thought about that.
1:03:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like to say that yacht rock is a jaw a genre of music by the ugliest men you've ever seen singing about women who won't fuck them.
1:03:35
SPEAKER_01: That's how I define yacht rock.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_01: And all they wear is like Tommy Bahama.
1:03:39
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_02: Although Kenny Loggins, he's had some hot years.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna That Kenny Loggins, let me tell you.
1:03:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:03:45
SPEAKER_01: I mean, sorry.
1:03:46
SPEAKER_01: Not to go all the way back to all that, but I do have to point out one thing that has been showing up in my dreams lately.
1:03:51
SPEAKER_01: Do it again, while I was researching you.
1:03:55
SPEAKER_01: Lisa Foles said Abraham Lincoln is hot on all like the you know, the guy.
1:04:03
SPEAKER_02: We can all agree if we line up the presidents.
1:04:06
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's up there, right?
1:04:07
SPEAKER_02: Tall.
1:04:08
SPEAKER_02: Is that all he's got going for him?
1:04:10
SPEAKER_02: He's tall.
1:04:10
SPEAKER_02: He's tall.
1:04:11
SPEAKER_02: That's the one feature.
1:04:12
SPEAKER_00: Are you into beards?
1:04:13
SPEAKER_00: Do you like beards?
1:04:15
SPEAKER_02: Um I like a sh I like a short trimmed beard.
1:04:17
SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
1:04:18
SPEAKER_02: Not big that the um no, so that was from a sketch called Know Your Stars.
1:04:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:04:21
SPEAKER_02: Where they would write the most insane, they would have a voice over it.
1:04:24
SPEAKER_02: It's like Lisa Foles thinks Abraham Lincoln is hot.
1:04:28
SPEAKER_02: And I'd be like, um, no, actually, no, no, I don't.
1:04:31
SPEAKER_02: Who's saying that?
1:04:32
SPEAKER_02: Um, hey, I don't, and then that was very probably one of my favorite sketches.
1:04:37
SPEAKER_00: I love that you're having dreams about all that.
1:04:39
SPEAKER_01: I know I really, and I'm not I'm not bullshitting you.
1:04:41
SPEAKER_01: I did have a dream about this voice and Lisa Foles thinking Abraham Lincoln was hot.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_00: That's very funny.
1:04:47
SPEAKER_02: I'm honored.
1:04:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:04:49
SPEAKER_00: I would actually love to see you.
1:04:50
SPEAKER_00: So you don't perform with Cameron, you only perform when he's not available.
1:04:53
SPEAKER_02: No, sometimes we'll do a six-piece.
1:04:55
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
1:04:55
SPEAKER_02: And then Cameron and I'll do some duets and some back and forth stuff.
1:04:57
SPEAKER_00: But I would love to see you guys perform.
1:04:59
SPEAKER_02: Oh, we have so much fun when we do the six-piece.
1:05:01
SPEAKER_02: Like it's it's a lot of good.
1:05:02
SPEAKER_02: Um I love the energy of a uh male singer and a female singer.
1:05:05
SPEAKER_02: We go back and forth and you know, joke and it's it's a lot of fun.
1:05:09
SPEAKER_02: Um, yes, so every once in a while we'll do a six-piece, but usually you'll either get Cameron or me.
1:05:14
SPEAKER_00: Love that.
1:05:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I love that.
1:05:15
SPEAKER_00: Dance My Problems Away.

SPEAKER_01: Yes, their original stuff.
1:05:18
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
1:05:18
SPEAKER_01: That was a good thing.
1:05:20
SPEAKER_01: Who called that AI?
1:05:21
SPEAKER_00: They were telling they were saying at Frenzy Fest that somebody, I think it was, or somebody like somebody like T Pain, if not T Pain.
1:05:28
SPEAKER_00: He was doing a live, and he was like getting requests of like, you know, try listen to my band, listen to my music.
1:05:34

1:05:35
SPEAKER_00: And he chose that one to to listen to on live.
1:05:39
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, this is AI or something.
1:05:41
SPEAKER_01: And I felt like very differently about that when we heard it.
1:05:44
SPEAKER_00: It's a banger.
1:05:45
SPEAKER_00: It's a banger.
1:05:46
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.

1:06:34
SPEAKER_02: That's what I've been told.
1:06:35
SPEAKER_00: Why who?
1:06:35
SPEAKER_02: Just because you know, the people who say there's only 24 hours in a day, like the Mayans or whatever, it's probably their fault.
