00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.480
Hey, everyone, Noam god Wiser
is on the show today. Noam is

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.839
a friend of Maggie's, my producer, and she is a film, television

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:15.039
and podcast creator. She has also
written screenplays and is currently working on a

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.000
novel something to do with Pickles.
I can't remember the exact name, she

5
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.399
told me, but we all are
going to pay close attention because she's going

6
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.679
to be great. Originally from Israel, she has lived in Paris and most

7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.719
currently La Noam told me some very
funny stories about the research she does for

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.560
her writing, going to places seeing
some really crazy and funny things. And

9
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:46.000
she also told me some very funny
stories about one of her favorite places,

10
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:52.159
Jumbos. So stay tuned, it's
on right now. Shit happens, bad

11
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.000
shit, good shit, crazy shit, and it usually happens when we least

12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.159
expect it. So tune into the
Shit that Happens to Me podcast and here

13
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.400
me and everyone I meet tell their
shitty stories. You'll laugh, you'll cry.

14
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.959
You probably won't cry. Why would
you cry? These are mostly funny

15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.480
stories. You'll learn a few lessons, probably not. It's definitely not that

16
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.439
kind of podcast, but you will
have a great time. Honestly, you

17
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.040
can't make this shit up. Hi, everybody, Welcome to another episode of

18
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.840
the Shit That Happens to Me Podcast. I am so excited to be here

19
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.799
today with my guest. No,
I'm god Wiser. Hi. No,

20
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.040
I'm Hi Staisy. Thank you for
pronouncing my name properly. I really appreciate

21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.719
it. I was hoping that I
did pronounce it properly, but I got

22
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.239
a little hint also from Maggie before
we started. So welcome to the Ship

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:52.200
that Happens to Me Podcast. Usually
I start off the episode with do you

24
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.719
know how I know you? But
since I've just met you, it might

25
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.239
be unclear because since we don't really
know each other. But you are friends

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:06.319
with Maggie. Yes, I am
so Maggie's are my producer? Can you

27
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.800
tell me, like how how you
came to be friends with Maggie? Oh

28
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.000
yeah, it's a it's a fun
story. We talk about it in the

29
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.280
podcast that we hosted together, Maggie
and I Conversations with Friends and Strangers.

30
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:28.120
I love to say that I met
Maggie and bumble because I dated her now

31
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:34.639
husband's best friend briefly back in twenty
eighteen, and Maggie and I fell in

32
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.159
love and couldn't let go, and
now here we are almost five years later.

33
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.000
Hm. So you did a podcast
on I'm with Straw Hut that Conversations

34
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.159
with Friends and Strangers, that was
based on a Hulu special, a Hulu

35
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.879
show. Yeah, it was a
companion podcast that wasn't really a companion podcast,

36
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:05.319
but it was definitely the after Sally
Rooney's novel Conversation with Surent for Conversations

37
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:09.240
with Friends. Huh okay, awesome. Yeah, and then and then the

38
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.560
show that wasn't that, but your
success was. It was still a lot

39
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.680
of fun. We learn a lot
of things about ourselves, about relationships,

40
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.000
about each other. That's fun.
What's wrong with that? Oh? Nothing

41
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.599
wrong with that. It was great. Honestly, it was lovely. And

42
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.280
is that something? Have you done
other podcasts? Not yet. We are

43
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:35.639
working on another fiction podcast that is
based on one of my pilots that is

44
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.560
set in Paris but is in English
about stolen art. So that's in development

45
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.680
but early stages. Fun that I
would definitely not be hosting. I'm only

46
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.000
writing it. Oh okay, ah, so they need a host for that.

47
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.759
I think it's going to be an
ensemble. It's going to be like

48
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:58.560
a fictional podcast actors and things.
Yeah, no, that's really fun.

49
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:04.439
I've listened to a few fictions podcast
so they're like audiobooks, So oh yeah,

50
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:10.680
I love it. UM. So
you your main job though, is

51
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:18.399
you are a writer and you also
I'm looking on I am BD and it

52
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:25.800
says that you are like a production
assistant and a translator for some Yeah,

53
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.959
I have I have some things there. I definitely need to update that.

54
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.279
Thank you for reminding me. I'll
put it on my list because there's some

55
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.439
projects there that I haven't I haven't
done any yet. Some of the projects,

56
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.439
the earlier projects I was on that
our mostly co productions um are French

57
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.720
American or Israeli French American or just
French Israeli. And that I that I

58
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.199
helped with the development company that I
wasn't a writer on, but I was

59
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.800
more of a creative producer on or
an assistant. One of them started that

60
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:03.160
I was the personal assistant to the
director and ended up being really way too

61
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:09.319
much. That is actually the movie
that moved me to the US. It's

62
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.199
a whole other story. So it's
kind of like a happy accident that wasn't

63
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.639
an accident with getting more and more
involved in the project. But I'll tell

64
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.920
you, none of these movies are
good any none of them. They're not

65
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:27.920
very good, but they're entertaining,
really okay, Yeah, but they're you

66
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.040
got to work on them. So
that's exciting. Oh, very exciting.

67
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.639
And I'm a lot and it's great. But that's why I'm like, I

68
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.800
should put more of more recent things
on there too, Yeah, and then

69
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.759
more involved in which are great,
and more new and exciting things. But

70
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:48.519
I mainly write scripts at this moment
in time, mainly television. A lot

71
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:55.879
of it, as television works,
is just scripts that are not going to

72
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.519
be produced or maybe mainly at this
moment in time, are not produced.

73
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.959
But it's again I'm learning. I'm
I'm I'm a baby writer, you know,

74
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.920
I'm just starting out when it comes
to scrutating, and then I have

75
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:14.000
my own projects. Fun. So
m I I that sounds like a lot

76
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.959
of fun to me. Like,
even if you make movies that aren't very

77
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.839
good, like, that's exciting because
I'm a kind of fame wanna be person,

78
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.800
So I really enjoy talking to people
who are kind of in the business,

79
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.079
whether it's writing or doing the sound
or you know, doing the producing

80
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.959
or the directing. I just am
fascinated with all of that. So,

81
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.879
yeah, it sounds great to me. So because there's none of that going

82
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:47.480
on here in Milwaukee, I wouldn't
know. I've never been to Milwaukee,

83
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.279
Um, but I definitely want to
go. I hear it gets cold there,

84
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.759
That is that true? Oh yeah
it was like nine degrees today.

85
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.360
Yeah, So I mean I I
have a wonderful life here in Milwaukee,

86
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.040
but I'm not sure that there's any
reason for you to come to Milwaukee really.

87
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.040
Look, oh we have lovely summers. Well, I love places that

88
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.839
don't make any sense to go visit. It's one of my passions. And

89
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.680
that's what I'm going to talk about
today too, is I find a lot

90
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.000
of inspiration in those places. It's
just like a life that is, you

91
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:29.199
know, not very adventures or maybe
adventures in ways that I don't know.

92
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.959
So it's a different kind of culture. And then seeing it as an outsider

93
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.560
and just like really small corners and
just how people go about their day I

94
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:43.360
find fascinating, Like I you find
production fascinating, and you know, fame,

95
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.480
and I think supermarkets in foreign countries
are the most interesting things ever.

96
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.839
But I understand that's a strange thing. That's not everybody. No, I

97
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.199
mean, should you come to Milwaukee. I hope you'll call me because I'll

98
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.639
show you around everywhere, try to
do in the summertime when it's really nice

99
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.600
here. But so tell you have
some you have some funny stories today about

100
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.519
um. I guess like some of
this shit that's happened to you while you've

101
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:20.439
done research for your scripts. So
let's let's hear about it. Yeah,

102
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.480
So, like, for example,
when I'll go to Milwaukee, it's going

103
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.120
to be probably I don't know if
it's the same thing. But when I

104
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.199
first moved out here, out here
to California. So I moved to Los

105
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.840
Angeles in twenty seventeen very fast.
It's kind of like a job offer.

106
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:41.080
I moved from Paris, which is
very different than Santa Monica. I'll tell

107
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.120
you that. It was kind of
like a really strange culture shock emerginally from

108
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.960
Israel's Israel to Paris. It's it's
very different. But I was, I

109
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.120
was ready, and then I thought
I knew LA because I have family here

110
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.039
and I visited growing up, and
I came after ten or eleven years of

111
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.480
not being in the US at all. I was like, what is going

112
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:05.279
on? And I stayed Christmas here. I didn't get Jewish because I'm Israeli,

113
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.720
so I didn't go on vacation.
Everyone went out of town. I

114
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.720
was here for a few months and
one of my uncles said, Okay,

115
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.240
let's was ever left in town.
Let's all go to Catalina Island, and

116
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.759
um I went, and I was
like, what is this strange place?

117
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.360
It doesn't make any sense. I
don't if you've ever been to Catalina Island

118
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.320
off the coast of Los Angeles,
a little bit front of Long Beach,

119
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.720
kind of it's a it's about an
hour boat ride, and it's beautiful and

120
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.320
it's very sweet, and it's very
strange, kind of like old Golden Age

121
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:41.159
stars used to go there. Natalie
Natalie Wood died off the coast of catalan

122
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.240
Anda Avalon, so that happened there. And I found all these things out

123
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.480
when I'm there, and I'm like, how come there's no there's no murder

124
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.720
mystery based out here over this?
Like this is such a strange. The

125
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.200
atmosphere there is so weird, and
it's creepy and foggy, but also very

126
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.039
beautiful and has a cent your characters, and I fell in love with the

127
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.000
place. I'm like, I have
to kill some people here, like not

128
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.480
physically, but um, character wise, because I write murder mysteries mostly.

129
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.480
I should have said that, sorry, um. And I decide to come

130
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.039
back to start writing a project.
And I went there to my whole weekend.

131
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.960
Um, it's great. I make
friends, I go on boats,

132
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.159
I explore the island. It's there's
to have a pet cemetery. It's a

133
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.039
very strange place. And I write
a pilot and I work on it for

134
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.000
like six six or eight months.
I sit and I ran and develop all

135
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.960
the characters in my world. And
I was like, well, I need

136
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.120
to go and count steps from the
bar to the beach and then from the

137
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.919
beach to a to the casino there
they have the casino and I have to

138
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.679
like do really just a few things
to finalize. I think it was my

139
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.960
second rewrite at that point, and
I decide to go. It's a Sunday

140
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.080
and I have work. I was
working, had like my day job was

141
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.519
something, and there's a marketing job
at a real estate company. Its varies

142
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.080
before COVID. This is a while
ago, and I go Sunday morning and

143
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.360
it's like, I just need to
not stay in the night, nonnything.

144
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.360
I drive, I get the boat, I go and on the way there

145
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.279
and it's kind of like a huge
catamaran and I'm sitting outside on the deck

146
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.559
and it's beautiful and the way sometimes
you see whales when when you take the

147
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.440
boats if it's the right season,
and they're big waves that day, and

148
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.919
the boat starts rocking up and down
and up and down slowly and just and

149
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.159
I have like headphones on and I'm
listening to music, and then I like,

150
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.759
I start seeing movement, and I
was like, a person next to

151
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.000
me starts throwing up, and then
a person brushes over, gives them a

152
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.559
bag. They go to take them
to the place where the people that throw

153
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.279
up throw up. And I'm like, okay, great. I'm looking at

154
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.200
the water, taking slower videos of
the water, you know, I was

155
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.960
trying to writing material, going over
my notes, and then I see another

156
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.639
person start throwing up in the boats
going up and down and up, and

157
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.799
I'm like, slowly, it's just
the smell of spectacular. It's just everyone

158
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.200
on the boat, one by one
just starts vomiting, including the people giving

159
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.679
out the back it's like everyone is
just throwing up. It's a symphony of

160
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.159
of vomits and people on different you
know, just like turning from green to

161
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.960
yellow. It was it was hilarious. I was fine, honestly, Like

162
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.600
by the end of it, you
see kind of like the juices rolling on

163
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.960
the ground with the boat. You're
like, okay, this is a little

164
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.080
not yeah, but I was fine. I was just like disgusted, but

165
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.440
not nauseous in any way. Yea. And it was just like I was

166
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.519
just looking at them, but there
was literally I don't and maybe one little

167
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.279
boy that didn't throw up except me
that was there. Wow, And I

168
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.559
think that is it. I'm like, okay, I'm definitely putting this in

169
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.000
the pilot, which I did.
But I get so, I get to

170
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.679
the island, I do all the
things. I go to the bar,

171
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.919
the restaurant, I kind of all
the steps, and then there there's an

172
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:54.639
announcement is that all the boats are
canceled because of high winds because it was

173
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.279
too rocky, the water is just
too rough to be able to sail back.

174
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.360
Because when I'm stuck on this island, it's Sunday night. The first

175
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.240
boats go up at six in the
morning, even with the boat and traffic,

176
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.159
there's no way I'm going to make
it to work on time Monday.

177
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.879
So I have a weird text my
boss, so like I'm stuck on an

178
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.799
island. I'm sorry, I won't
be able to make it to a type

179
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:20.519
but I'll take But I see it
as a good opportunity. The only motel

180
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.080
that had a room was a very
sticky motel that I really enjoy. I

181
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.840
really like the weirdest motels. I
do have a lot of character. I

182
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.879
definitely, you know, I used
a towel as a pellowcase. But and

183
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.039
I had to buy pajamas. I
had to, Like I had nothing.

184
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.559
It's like what I need. I
needed underwear, I need socks. I

185
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.519
got. The only underwear I found
on the island were like Taco dinosaur underwear

186
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.360
that I still have just because they
were hilarious. Yeah, and I see

187
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.759
it as opportunity to explore. And
I go to the spar that I went

188
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:56.799
to when I first went there to
research, and uh, there's a girl

189
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.519
on the bar. There's a that
is getting hit on by these two aging

190
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.600
cowboys that I don't know what they're
doing there, and she's like looking at

191
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.600
me, like rolling her eyes and
like, okay, I'm going to come

192
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.320
to her aid and we chat.
We take pictures with those guys cowboy hats.

193
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.039
The guys leave and she starts talking
to me and turns out that her

194
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:20.120
brother used to be the bartender of
that bar and I remember him, and

195
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.799
he had just passed and I'm like, oh, but I remember him and

196
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.879
his girlfriend was there and they were
fund. She was like yeah, and

197
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.600
they broke up and then he did
it this girl and then they had a

198
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.840
kid, and then he died from
this illness. And we start drinking and

199
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.080
she's like, okay. I told
her that I'm writing that I'm writing about

200
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.919
aval and she's like, okay,
I have to take you. There's a

201
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.240
nightclub. Do you know about the
nightclub? Like, what do you mean?

202
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.000
There are only three people in this
town? What nightclubs? There's a

203
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.639
secret nightclub. And she takes me
to that secret nightclub, which is on

204
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.759
top of a supermarket and it is
a nightclub, but there we're only about

205
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.840
three people there. She's like,
well, it gets busier later, and

206
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.039
it's like one in the morning at
this point, I'm like, I don't

207
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.600
know what is later? Yeah,
wait, how much later. Yeah,

208
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.000
so I said, our friends show
up. I'm like, okay, I'm

209
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.440
gonna go. I find myself my
way back to my room and there's a

210
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.440
symphony and this is again different symphony, a little disgusting. But you just

211
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.399
hear everyone around you having sex,
because the only reason people go to this

212
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.360
island is like on you know,
a couple couple trips. And I don't

213
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.080
think it's honeymoons, but I honestly
I don't know. It's not a very

214
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.720
romantic motel. But the walls are
moaning, so I am really drunk at

215
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.559
this point. I did not think
I was going to stay in this island.

216
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.080
Like laying in bed just looking at
the ceiling. Everything is now I'm

217
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.879
nauseous, everything is floating. All
I hear is everyone just moaning and having

218
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.840
sex around me. But it just
like sounds like there's a whole pack of

219
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.200
people, but coming from all the
directions. So you know, it's like

220
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.679
different rooms, different hotels. It's
it's very yeah, it's very close together.

221
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.120
That was great, Yeah, and
then the next day was really rough.

222
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.600
Yeah. I definitely like I woke
up, threw up, not on

223
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.759
the boat. Before going on the
boat. It is like I can't.

224
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.240
I'm too hungover, only had like
three hours of sleep. No, on

225
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.799
the woe back, the wope back. The water is definitely not storey.

226
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.440
Everything was fine, but I was
not doing too well. That was a

227
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.360
really that was a great trip.
A lot of it, A lot of

228
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.480
it. Did it did make it
into the rewrite, which was good.

229
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.879
Did you murder people on the island? No? Apparently they'd die on their

230
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.759
own. That's not funny. I'm
sorry, Um, I did not mean

231
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.440
No, I'm not going to say
who the murderer is, okay, because

232
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:26.720
I maybe done. No. No, it's a it's a it's it's a

233
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.960
pilot, so there are a lot
of there are a lot of options.

234
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.200
Yeah, I did get a lot
of material. It's it's a fun one.

235
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:40.480
I really do recommend visiting Catalina Island. Catalina. Yeah, Avalon on

236
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.279
Catalina Island. Um, that bar
is also great. I think it's there

237
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.519
are two bars on the island.
That's the one that has a pool table.

238
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:52.679
Okay, did you play pool?
I did? Yes, I did

239
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.039
play pool. Okay, I don't. I'm not particularly good at it,

240
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.960
but I do enjoy it very much
as an activity. I have to say.

241
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.359
Maggie does too, and it's something
that we also do together. She

242
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.920
accompanied Bet in some strange adventures.
I'm like, I want to go to

243
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.960
this place. Do you want to
join me? She's like sure, Yeah.

244
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:17.880
So you said the second thing that
is also the thing I'm super interested

245
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.960
in after like while I write and
movies and all that stuff. Was you

246
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.839
said murder mystery? So I love
murder mysteries. I listen to murder mysteries.

247
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.200
I watch murder mysteries. If someone
says to me, have you seen

248
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.279
this show? And I say,
well, if someone murdered in it,

249
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.440
And if they say no, I'm
like, well then I probably have not

250
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.759
seen it. Yeah. I probably
won't be seeing it unless you know someone

251
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:48.599
is violently you know, murdered and
chopped up and you know things like that.

252
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.920
So, which which crime shows your
favorite show at the moment? Well,

253
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.720
I don't know which is my favorite? But I just finished Snow Girl.

254
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.880
I don't know if you saw that
um which takes place in Spain.

255
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.119
Um. So that was like a
new Net Netflix thing And is it about

256
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.799
cocaine? No? No, no, And there's really not even even any

257
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.480
snow But I don't know, So
I don't know. Actually I never figured

258
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.400
out why it was called snow Girl. But this girl is kidnapped, so

259
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.480
it's it's about that. And um, I like you know, murder and

260
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.839
horror like American Horror Story and um, things like that. I just saw

261
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.599
that there's um follow the House of
Ushers coming. Mike Flanagan is going to

262
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:41.359
do that, and I love all
of his shows, like um, Murder,

263
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.240
Hunting of Hillhouse, like my all
time favorite show. I couldn't make

264
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.720
it through that one. So I
actually so I don't really watch television as

265
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.119
a TV writer, which is a
lot of people think it's strange, but

266
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:59.799
I find like it's it kind of
obscures my creativity at some Like at times

267
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.759
I do read a lot of scripts
and I was stuck in a project and

268
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:10.039
I needed to come up with different
act breaks. And at this point that

269
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.880
this was this wasn't the South of
France, so I was in a really

270
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.480
beautiful place. It's like, and
I had a really rough night trying to

271
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:22.319
think of like the strangest act breaks
to like up the stakes on this novel.

272
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.039
That's like, I'm working with the
show Renner. It's her project that

273
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.599
I write on and she came back. It was like, we have these

274
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.920
notes, we need help. You
have until tomorrow to do this. I'm

275
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.160
like, challenge, accept it.
And it couldn't like I had. It

276
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.920
didn't matter how many like ideas I've
had, it wasn't good Enough's like,

277
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.720
okay, I need to change ideas. And my partners like, you should

278
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.440
watch Hunting of Hill House because it's
very good, and I say, okay,

279
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.799
I'll don't think I can watch it
because it sounds too scary. I'll

280
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.720
listen to it. So I'm like, I listen to it means I download

281
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.240
the PDF and I put it on
a pdf reader and I'm doing other things

282
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.799
at the same time. To again, move from on our IBNB, do

283
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.720
the I'm doing the dishes, I'm
packing In this point, I'm I'm getting

284
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.960
into the shower at this is the
end of the teaser, so the first

285
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.559
mention of the Bentneck Lady, right
yeah, And at this point I reached

286
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.759
my phone, I turn it off
and for two months I couldn't sleep without

287
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.680
delights on. After that. No, I know, I'm thirty two and

288
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.160
a half and I can't. I
just couldn't. I just couldn't do it.

289
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:30.599
I want to say that you know, the bentneck Lady was one of

290
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:38.240
the most beautiful and heartbreaking stories within
the show. We had my co host

291
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:45.599
Lindsay Jones and I of Psychoanalyzing the
Patient, had the really wonderful opportunity to

292
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:53.119
interview the production designer for The Hunting
of Hillhouse and I was just fan girling,

293
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.160
like, oh my god that I
loved that show so much, and

294
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:02.400
he sent us like their deck for
um, I don't know it was.

295
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.400
It was amazing. So I love
the whole bentneck Lady thing. And even

296
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.319
though I'd probably read that story a
million years ago, I didn't remember it

297
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.279
and was in awe. But yeah, I think they did a really good

298
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.400
job with the adaptation of it.
And I think that that is something also

299
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.480
that its project projects that I work
on, is that to make sure that

300
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:30.039
all of the horrors that come from
within when it comes to psychology are realistic.

301
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.200
And because in a lot a lot
of Netflix shows you have, you

302
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.079
know, everyone is a psychopath and
no one really knows what that means,

303
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.920
and then also they're not really psychopaths. And my best friend back in Israel

304
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:47.559
is a psychotherapist. So every time
I write a character, after I write

305
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.240
my characters. I'm like, so
this is what I gave them. So

306
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.839
I have a murderer, this is
why what do you think of their childhood?

307
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.440
What do you think of their motives? What do you think of this?

308
00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:00.759
Like? And she helps me just
make sure that I'm not because people

309
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.640
see this and they start think now
sure, and also they compare it to

310
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.599
their own life. And I think
it's important because that's that's our way to

311
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.359
grow and learn from these things.
And I know that that is fascinating.

312
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.960
And yeah, you learn a lot
about psychology when you do when you do

313
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.240
it, and a lot of a
lot of network notes now come back also,

314
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.440
isn't like, Yeah, this needs
to be more realistic. It needs

315
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.319
to be more even if it's young
adults. It needs to make sense.

316
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.119
It's not just drama for drama,
which I really appreciate. So I'm hoping

317
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.440
that more projects like Hunting a Fieldhouse
will find their way into screens. Yeah

318
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.720
for sure. So, um,
yeah, I'm a psychologist, so that's

319
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:44.480
why, Um, that whole thing
really fascinates me. And thus the name

320
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.759
of our show psychoanalyzing the patient.
But so we hope to do more psychoanalyzing

321
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:55.200
other shows. Um, so I
think you have another story here, um,

322
00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:00.240
something about a strip club. I
have a bunch yeah, yeah,

323
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.119
yeah, that one is here.
See today I'm not drinking, but these

324
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.400
are just these are stories about drunken
nights. But I have to say I

325
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.480
only I don't. I only have
like a handful of those a year,

326
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.440
you know, unless and less with
time. But I had as you get

327
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:19.960
older, as I get older,
yeah, um, maybe it's like get

328
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.240
whole older, I have more unexpected
drunken nights. You're like, oh,

329
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:27.480
a couple of drinks then then whoop
uh yeah. Um. So there's a

330
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.599
pilot that I'm still working on.
Then I'm also gonna shoot as as a

331
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:41.480
short film and actually it's trilogy but
I'm excited about and it takes place in

332
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.559
strip club, but it's also strip
club that's burlesque, but in the future,

333
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:51.720
so it's future vintage. So basically
the vintage of of like it's like

334
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.240
hidden under a diner, and then
the diner is like vintage, so circa

335
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.799
two thousand and three. So that
was that was fun but research wise,

336
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.359
and what inspired me to do it
is, um, I live maybe before

337
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:10.200
I did close to Jumbo's Clown Room
on Hollywood, which is m a burlesque

338
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.000
club that's basically a strip club,
but they're not completely naked, right,

339
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.720
and they're very talented dancers, So
it's it's it's a small spot, it's

340
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.000
a famous spot. A Corney Love
used to dance there, and you see

341
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.400
you see a lot of I mean, I really suck at recognizing celebrities.

342
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.039
It was a problem in my work
at some point because I had no idea

343
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.839
what I was talking to or maybe
a solution. Sometimes as well, especially

344
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.160
in Hollywood. I get scolded for
it though then and not watching television so

345
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:44.160
I would. I think a friend
of mine visiting it took me to jumbos

346
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.599
for the first time, and I
fell in love with it because it's one

347
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:52.160
of the places in Los Angeles that
I've found have true character and personality and

348
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.039
charm. And I know it's a
strip joint and it's strange, but like

349
00:24:55.119 --> 00:25:00.720
it's the light is like everything's red, and the people that is small and

350
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.279
crowded. It feels like Europe.
And there's a jukebox and that's how like

351
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.519
the girls go choose their song and
it's only classic rock, and then they

352
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.640
do their their set and it's usually
themed, you know, a couple of

353
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.119
hours, a few girls, and
then they change it up and it closes

354
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.799
it too. It's a minute,
two drinks, and then when you come

355
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.160
and it's it's like it became a
place that I really enjoyed and really inspired

356
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.880
me for pickles. Is what is
that the pirate is called right now?

357
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:32.960
Which is oh a working title for
sure. And I started taking every person

358
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.000
that came to visit me. I
just I didn't tell them we're guys,

359
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.799
like, oh, we're going to
go to a bar, and I just

360
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.359
took them to Jumbos, which is
just and gave them cash and you would

361
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.359
just so I did that with my
sister, who freaked out and then enjoyed

362
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:45.640
it way too much, and my
cousin, who's like, I don't like

363
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.839
strip joints, and then I was
like, yo, but this one I

364
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:56.160
kind of do. That was just
baggy, and I went there a few

365
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.480
times. She doesn't like it.
But every time it's my anniversary in La

366
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.759
or something and a maker or we're
drunk enough, we go to Jumbo's.

367
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.240
Um my first date with my partner
was there accidentally as well. And then

368
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.960
I also, did you know anniversaries
in New years now bur Mitzvah's weddings,

369
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.680
and so I had a French friend
visit. Well, he was coming for

370
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:25.920
burning Man and this friend is also
um is my ex but we were friends

371
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.920
at this point and like so years
after we dated and he's in a relationship

372
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.720
for ages now you know it's been
a relationship, but he cheated on me

373
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.720
with this woman who's now his wife's
ages ago I was like ten years ago

374
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:42.599
was less than ten years. This
was this was pre pandemic. And he

375
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.400
comes and he really needs help,
all the help he can get. He

376
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.000
can't rent the trailer, he can't
do this, and I'm running, Ah,

377
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:49.960
I'm going to the Long Beach and
I'm helping in. I'm like,

378
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.359
dude, like what the fuck,
like please, just like can't. And

379
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.880
he's like the CEO of this company
that he built and then he sold it.

380
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.720
He's like now this big shot and
more than he was when we were

381
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.559
like twenty three, but he still
can't do anything on his own. And

382
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.920
he has one night where he's like, Okay, let me take you out

383
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.440
for a drink because I owe you
so much for this, thank you so

384
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.880
much for doing this, and like
okay, and I take him to Jumbos,

385
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.720
because that is where I go when
I break people out of town and

386
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.799
we drink way too much. We
drink way too much, and we sit

387
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.000
at this table, and then there's
another there's a two other people's a couple

388
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.160
that sits with us and start scantting
us drinks, and then Jumbos was closing,

389
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.160
and then we found found us off
in a different strip club. And

390
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.960
this one is not like a kittie
strip club kind of like Jumbos that it's

391
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:37.440
all cute and charming. It's a
strip club, strip club. Like there's

392
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.359
no the light is just fluorescent,
you know, white light. It's big.

393
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.960
They're walking naked back and forth on
like a runway situation, jiggling things.

394
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.480
I didn't know it can be jiggled, but for like different, and

395
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:49.240
I like, do I want to
do? I want to look? This

396
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.680
is too much. And then they're
like not supposed to sell alcohol because it's

397
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.039
already three in the morning, but
they're still selling alcohol but's in the back

398
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:56.440
room and I don't know where I
am. I mean, everything's fine,

399
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.640
we were safe, but it's also
like I still don't know where this place

400
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.079
was. I think, like I
thought it was one strip club. Because

401
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.839
what happened is is like I obviously
could not drive after this, so I

402
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.000
take an uber home. Um,
I mean we take an uber home because

403
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.559
we definitely slept together after that night
because of course we were so drunk and

404
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.799
he didn't sleep before going to Burning
Man and then like that that was um

405
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:27.119
mistakes. I don't do anymore.
But definitely Rember evening and I lost my

406
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.519
car keys. I came. I
came like, oh my gain, same

407
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.759
job. I have to get up
in the morning, go to work.

408
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.079
No parkies. I had a spare
but like this is these are car keys

409
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.759
with my house keys and all of
my favorite um you know, but gives

410
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.640
that I had the chase. I
had one from Hong Kong. I had

411
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.400
one from Japan like my sister.
I had all these things on us like

412
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.359
it was beautiful, it was curated, you know, and it's very Also,

413
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.039
those keys are fucking expensive. It's
like four hundred dollars to uh yeah.

414
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.920
I went to Jumbos. They couldn't
find it, and they're like,

415
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.440
cool, this is the other strip
club that's in the like the other side

416
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.039
of the street. I'm like,
it must be that club, and I

417
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.119
go there and it's I don't recognize
it. I'm like, this is not

418
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.359
the place I went? Where it
was? I how did it begin here?

419
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.240
Because the guy, the people that
were with us at stand was like,

420
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.039
oh, I owned this other club, let's go there, and they

421
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.279
drove us. I went into a
stranger's car. What were they thinking?

422
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.079
Yeah, we were in a car
with those like there were a couple I

423
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.880
was. I was very drunk.
That was very drunk the next day,

424
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.799
Yeah, I was one. I
never found those keys. I could never

425
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.960
retrieve it. Nope, nope,
no and no keys. I'm sorry to

426
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.559
hear that, but I did get
a but I think I did get a

427
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.920
very good experience. It's definitely in
pickles. And thus this is why you

428
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.839
this is why you listen to Image
and Churches episode because it was called burlesque.

429
00:29:52.599 --> 00:30:00.319
M yep, exactly right. Yeah, so yeah that's yeah. So

430
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.880
I you know, because I asked
you some questions before you started, and

431
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.000
one of them you know, have
you listened to any episodes? And so

432
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.519
you mentioned that and I don't know
if you know that she did two episodes?

433
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.079
Um, because Image and wrote a
book, wrote a novel, so

434
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:22.200
she is a narrator really am a
narrator. I love her voice. I

435
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.039
don't know if you heard me say
I have a voice crush on her and

436
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:32.119
um, and then she wrote she
wrote her own novel set in a burlesque

437
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:37.200
um place. So I can't remember
what the name of the novel is at

438
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.759
the moment, but I think it's
the name of her other episode. So

439
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.920
I highly recommend the novel. And
she, of course a narrated her own

440
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.319
novel, so I think, yeah, yeah, that she was working on

441
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:55.599
it. Yeah, that's what she
was working I wonder if o we went

442
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.519
to the same places. I wonder
because that she did, do you burlesque

443
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:04.200
in La? So you know she's
from England, but I know she's MS

444
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:14.960
maybe maybe well so it's to me, like the lesson here is to what

445
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.559
like hold on of your keys,
keep pajamas with you at all times,

446
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:30.359
toothbrush, toothbrush? Sure, any
any other lessons from your these stories here?

447
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:36.440
The US is bad. It's always
always, always just bring a talent.

448
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.880
This didn't only happen in the years. It's like I think you have

449
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:41.160
a track record when I'm like,
oh, I'll just do this small thing

450
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.079
and then something just you know,
just kind of like goes into something a

451
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.680
little, a little bigger. Um. None of these were bad experiences.

452
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.640
They were all worth it and definitely
memorable. Okay, So you lose something,

453
00:31:53.680 --> 00:32:00.480
you gain something, Okay. Yeah, and maybe hydrate or sunscreen hydrate.

454
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.319
Yeah, none of none of the
lessons are drink less. I want

455
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.039
to be really clear about that.
None of we haven't said that is one

456
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:13.160
of the less More water, just
yeah, more drink more, drink more

457
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:15.680
water. If you're going to drink
a lot, hold onto your keys.

458
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.319
I got to, I got,
I got a lot of material from it.

459
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.359
It was definitely worth it. So
there's a lot there, maybe a

460
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:30.400
little too much. Maybe I overresearch. I mean it's better than under researching

461
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.400
and not knowing. And it's better
murdering people for murder mysteries, you know,

462
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:39.400
for sure? For sure? Yeah, for sure. So you said

463
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:44.319
the working title is for pickles,
so we can like kind of keep the

464
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.279
eyes open for this. Pickles in
the realm, Yeah, pickles in the

465
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:53.279
realms of the unknown. It's along, it's it's all working title, and

466
00:32:53.319 --> 00:33:00.440
it's pickles a person or literally what
you eat pickles. It's pickles we eat.

467
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:04.759
Yeah, that's actual. Okay,
it's actual pickles. That one's going

468
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.559
to take a little while. This
was going to take a Yeah, um

469
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:14.960
Avalon is the working title for Avalon. It takes place there, and I

470
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.039
think we have to Yeah, there's
more than one, there are a bunch

471
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.079
of them. Yeah, these are
two different projects that I um that I

472
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.759
research. There is burlesque also an
avalon a little bit, but it's it's

473
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.440
very it's decorative. It's not the
base of the plot the same way that

474
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.640
pickles is. Yeah, two different
worlds, different time. You definitely have

475
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:38.920
to come to Milwaukee now because every
summer my husband puts up pickles. We

476
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:46.480
make we make dill pickles and I'm
obsessed with that's That's definitely gonna be like

477
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:53.079
necessary research for your book. Um, because we make pickles here and my

478
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:57.880
husband. There's of course, there's
a podcast episode called Steve n I The

479
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.920
Pickle Guy, um all about the
process. I saw that. I saw

480
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.039
that and I was like, I
can't I'm going to get too excited.

481
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:12.719
I can't listen to this podcasts about
pickles right now. But an open invitation

482
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.119
but myself, but thank you.
I will definitely come and check out the

483
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:23.440
Brian I like to pickle Brian too. I love klick. Yeah, I'm

484
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:30.719
telling you you need to come and
have some Steve Nai pickles. Oh,

485
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:35.880
Stacy, say no more. I'm
on my way Milwaukee. Bo Okay.

486
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.280
All right? Great? Well,
thank you so much. It was such

487
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.360
a pleasure to talk to you.
I really enjoyed hearing about your stories,

488
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:49.360
and I look forward to these projects. I wish you all the best so

489
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.000
that I can thank you so much, read your books and watch the show.

490
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.719
Thank you so much, Stacy,
thank you for everything. It's great

491
00:34:54.760 --> 00:35:02.480
being here. It's been fun.
So that was Noah god Wiser in a

492
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:07.840
symphony of Vomit is definitely what I'm
going to be calling this episode, telling

493
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:15.239
us her stories about while she did
research for her scripts, you know,

494
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.239
books, podcasts, TV shows,
some of the shit that happened to her

495
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.320
during that time. Although I'm not
sure the second story was could be considered

496
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.840
research for her for her scripts.
But what do you think, Maggie,

497
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:35.239
You know, I think like we
come up with all kinds of excuses of

498
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.440
why we need to get into trouble, right, But you know what,

499
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:45.760
the vomit, the Vomit Symphony was
making me think of what does it stand

500
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.719
by me? The movie where they're
all sitting the boys were all sitting around

501
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.960
and he tells the story of the
vomitorium. I don't think I would survive

502
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:58.320
in that situation. I think that
I would probably jump off the boat and

503
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:04.360
swim to shore where I mean.
I just started thinking about the fact that

504
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:09.239
I'm taking a cruise in July and
a little worried about my tendency to get

505
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:15.880
you know, any kind of sick, motion sick, seasick, air sicks.

506
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.639
Yeah, if there's a kind of
sick, I'll get it. So

507
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:24.840
if I'm moving, I will get
it. So yeah, but so I

508
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.119
immediately went there. But I think
I'll be okay. I've got all kinds.

509
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.920
I've got all my drugs that I'm
gonna do. And also, cruise

510
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:36.599
ships are pretty big, so I
feel like it's the small boats that really

511
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:39.679
toss you around, right, Yeah, yeah for sure. So have we

512
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:45.840
learned any lessons here that, um, you know, each story was like,

513
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.920
well I drank a little too much, but that was that was a

514
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.559
keeper. So I'm cool. That
was not the lesson. No, just

515
00:36:53.639 --> 00:37:00.599
drink more water. Yeah, so
don't get dehydrated. Yeah you weren't.

516
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.320
You weren't there in any of those
stories that you weren't part of those stories.

517
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.519
No, I was not there for
any of the stories told, though

518
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.400
I have been to Jumbo's clown room
with her before, and I think,

519
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:16.800
as she said, not my favorite
place. No, No, I feel

520
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.440
like and I would have to because
I don't know anything. Let me preface

521
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:24.960
what I'm going to say as if
I know something. I really don't know

522
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:32.440
anything. But I kind of think
maybe maybe Imagen talked about this that burlesque

523
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.840
I think is kind of different than
stripping in general, because I think we

524
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:45.199
kind of associate stripping with something women
feel forced to do or aren't in good

525
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:50.199
situations, or it's you know,
I don't know, it's very sexist,

526
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:54.880
all of that stuff exploitative, right, But I don't think that. I

527
00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:00.599
don't think that Imagen felt that burlesque
was exploitative at all. I think she

528
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.760
really enjoyed it. It was like
art. She you know, had came

529
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.960
out in this costume and told a
story, and so for her it was

530
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:12.280
she was just performing. But I
don't know if that's true for aubur lesque

531
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.599
or not. But yeah, I
mean I think that's prob I think that's

532
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:19.480
definitely true at Jumbos. Jumbos is
definitely it's not one of those places that

533
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:23.840
it's not It's not a sad place
like other strip clubs are. Like there's

534
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:30.559
there's a there's a place not far
from Dumbos called Cheetahs that a friend of

535
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.840
mine threw a party at years ago
that I went to, and I was

536
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.960
like, m I don't want to
be here. This is sad. I

537
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.920
don't like this at all. Very
different vibe, still not my vibe,

538
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.079
but a very a very different vibe, but it is. It is definitely

539
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:46.840
more cabaret than strip club. But
you are still kind of throwing one dollar

540
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.960
bills. There is still a pole
and a lot of pole dancing, and

541
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.519
there is still you know, the
the underwear. It's more like bikinies,

542
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.000
i'd say, than like, you
know, there's a certain sumption with burlesque

543
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:04.760
that there's something old fashioned about it. Maybe, yeah, that's my own

544
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:08.440
mind about it. I think you're
right, yeah, and cabaret sounds more

545
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:13.199
old fashioned. I don't know why
it's called Jumbo's. I'm not crazy about

546
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.679
that name. I don't know what
that what we're supposed to get from that

547
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:22.199
name. Jumbo's Clown Room is what
it's called. Yeah, yeah, there's

548
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.960
a picture of a clown on the
front of it. It's you know,

549
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.599
that's maybe another thing. I don't
like clowns really, so maybe that's just

550
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:34.840
I don't mind clowns. But but
I will tell you that I've been to

551
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.360
a mail strip clubs. We'll just
take a moment I have so, um,

552
00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:45.400
you're like, really, I wasn't
supposed to be there. I never

553
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.440
did anything wrong growing up, like
hardly ever. I'd never lied. I

554
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.280
didn't. I mean, I didn't
do anything wrong, at least not until

555
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.920
I got to college. But um, just some people had like a you

556
00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.360
know, longer head start than I
did. But I was My grandparents had

557
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:07.599
this condo in Miami Beach and I
went there often in the winter. And

558
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.320
at that point, I think it
was just my grandmother and a friend came

559
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:15.559
with me. My friend Liz,
and then some other friends were also in

560
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.000
the area, and we were all
going to go out one night and we

561
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:24.719
went to a male strip club.
And of course I didn't tell my grandmother

562
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:28.639
this. Although I was an adult, but you know, I didn't really

563
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:35.400
feel like an adult, and it
was it was quite Um, I don't

564
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.440
know. It was a lot of
fun. It was really a lot of

565
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:43.360
fun. I did put money in
like some very hot guy who I think

566
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:49.440
was called like is ralely Ike or
something like that, into his jock strap.

567
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.679
I mean it wasn't quite as really
ike, but it was pretty close

568
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:57.599
to that, you know, into
his like jock strap, which was closer

569
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:02.039
than I had ever gotten before.
So um, and then you know it

570
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.719
was like the secret I couldn't tell
my grandmother like where we were that night.

571
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.719
So that was made it, you
know, pretty exciting for me.

572
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:15.119
But so whose idea was it to
go to the strip club? It might

573
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.880
have been my idea. It might
have been my idea, I don't remember.

574
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:23.119
It was me and Liz and Karen
who was now my sister in law's

575
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:28.199
my sister's sister in law, and
my friend Lisa. We all went to

576
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.079
this strip club. Yeah, it
was fun one time. You never went

577
00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:37.960
back? No, No, that, No, that would have been beyond

578
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:45.760
yeah. Yeah yeah, so have
you done that? Never been to a

579
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:49.960
mail strip club? No? I
mean I started watching the Chippendale's series with

580
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.400
Kamal Nanjohnny and that was on who
or something, But I don't think I

581
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:57.519
actually finished it. But that's yeah, I've never never been It's never come

582
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:01.639
up. You know, I've never
had a Stacy in the group to recommend

583
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.280
it, right right, the Stacy
who's this good little girl who suddenly has

584
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.960
these ideas like let's go to a
male strip joint. Yeah. Yeah,

585
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.639
so well, shout out to Liz
and Karen and Lisa in case you're listening.

586
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.119
Let's go back, you know,
see Israeli Ike, who's probably an

587
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.760
old man. Now I think it's
time. I think it's time to get

588
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.119
check on him. Yeah all right, Maggie, Well thanks so much.

589
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:34.920
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I enjoyed meeting your friend. No,

590
00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.480
m thanks Stacy. Yeah, I
