happens when we least expect it.

won't cry. Why would you cry?

5
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.359

6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.160

I guess I'm pretty good. Yeah. I don't have COVID. Yeah,

13
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:03.200
we're both dodging COVID again at this
it's crazy. Yeah, So I hear

14
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.959
you know I this is a special
episode today because you are the producers of

15
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.480
the Ship that Happens to Me poodcast, and you know, we're still I

16
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:15.879
feel like we're still kind of getting
to know each other. It's been about

17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:23.400
seven months now that I've been with
straw Hut and so um, I'm having

18
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:32.319
a lot of fun adapting to the
laid back LA kind of vibe. And

19
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.480
you know you're yeah so um.
So we're all just kind of like,

20
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.920
have enough fun conversation. We I
don't know who you want me to say.

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.159
We can always cut this out that
we're supposed to be recording with Maggie

22
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.640
today, Ryan's new wife, but
unfortunately Maggie has COVID. Sorry Maggie,

23
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.920
Hopefully we'll catch you next week.
Yeah, she'll be, she'll be,

24
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.439
she'll return. Yeah, and I
understand she's I've dodged it so far,

25
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.079
so far, Yes, and I
understand Maggie is the funny one of the

26
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.159
two of you. So we'll see
how this is definitely smarter, She's definitely

27
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.520
smarter. She's definitely funnier. Uh. Yeah, we will see how it

28
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.120
goes. I have no idea.
I think it'll be good. Um.

29
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.400
Yeah, And the four of us
have all managed to dodge COVID despite numerous

30
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.360
you know, like what do they
call it, um exposures to people.

31
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
don't know how we've done it, but

32
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.360
I guess I'm outside a lot mostly, so yeah, I guess he being

33
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.800
in the backyard going for walks,
doing things like that helps. I think

34
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.240
it really helps. Californy. I'm
addicted to my zinc spray, and I

35
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.960
do, I do claim that that
is a reason why I haven't gotten it.

36
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.039
And I love my zink spray.
So let's let's just like tout some

37
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:02.319
non medical fake um, you know, like ways to avoid COVID for a

38
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:13.080
minute. So and yeah, right, Ryan and his zinks break, Tyler,

39
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.120
how have you managed to avoid it? Um? My wife forces me

40
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.639
to go to the beach a lot
um that sun? I heard maybe just

41
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.120
the California sun. I jumped in
the ocean yesterday night. You know,

42
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.439
it was so hot here and the
water warmed up a little bit. Um,

43
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.599
So I don't know things like that. Do you guys hear that?

44
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.560
Pot you guys hear it was a
podcast or an article or something where it

45
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.639
was like they did this study and
all these homeless shelters and none of the

46
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:45.919
homeless people had symptoms, and they
found out that it was they believed that

47
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.879
it was attributed to like all the
vitamin D, but they found out that

48
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.599
people actually did have COVID, it
just didn't have the symptoms. I thought

49
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.000
that was really fascinating. So,
yeah, maybe I already had COVID because

50
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.199
I'm outside all the time. Yeah, I mean we could have we could

51
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.879
have all been asymptomatic at some point, I guess, you know, hopefully

52
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.599
not spreading it. But yeah,
well I'm gonna tell you what I've done

53
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:13.159
to avoid the sides. Just wear
a mask whenever I can, which I

54
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.199
hate doing. Brian's always on his
neck as you can see. Yeah,

55
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.480
d edition the other thing I've done, which I highly recommend, but I

56
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.839
also want to say, like,
this is not this is not scientifically studied,

57
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.120
so no one should really come to
us for how to avoid COVID.

58
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.240
But I've done this thing. When
I passed someone, or someone passes me

59
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.399
and maybe they don't have a mask
on, or I've taken mine off to

60
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:42.680
get some water or something, is
I hold my breath and I'm thinking,

61
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.240
like, I don't know how long
are supposed to hold your breath before during

62
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.399
after? I don't know, but
I think I tend to do I tended

63
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.720
to do that previous to COVID,
just maybe more selective based on the way

64
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.240
of the person coming towards me look
especially like and walking around. For sure,

65
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.199
I still do it, I still
for sure do it. Yeah,

66
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.560
and like hold your breath like silently
or like this do go no, no,

67
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.600
no, I don't, I don't
plug the nose and then a good

68
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.040
breath of air as you walk past
them too. Just get it out,

69
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:23.360
get it away from me. Whatever
people are, especially people are coughing around

70
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.040
me, just likeload away. Yeah, airports have been tricky, but yeah,

71
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.879
still safe. So yeah, amazing. Yeah. So I so you

72
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.319
both have some stories and I just
want like a few moments to kind of

73
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.879
get the lay of the land here. How long have the two of you

74
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.519
known each other? And how old
is like straw Hut, Like, how

75
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.480
did you come about doing this?
Yeah, straw Hut. No, there

76
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.839
was going to be a quiz,
right, I think straw Hut, we're

77
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.360
reaching five years, Ryan, I
think we started it in twenty seventeen,

78
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.319
November of twenty seventeen. Yeah,
we started the company. Yeah, but

79
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.720
we met previous to that because we
worked at a book publishing company together within

80
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:12.240
the marketing department, video department,
UM and I got I started there in

81
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.959
twenty fifteen, So okay, and
I was there already, so I think

82
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.040
I've been there like a year before
you showed up. Yeah. So so

83
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.079
we've known each other for seven years. Yeah, and you met there,

84
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.839
you met at this book publishing company. Yeah, we just had all these

85
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.439
weird things in common where we knew
people, and we had filmed the same

86
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.879
band's play and like our moms worked
together. We found its really weird.

87
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.720
But the name of the publishing company
was called hay House, and which is

88
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.920
why, which is where straw Hutt
came from, because we just we weren't

89
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:51.000
creative. We had to come up
with a business instead of RT. I

90
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.639
guess we went with, well,
you already had RT because you're Ryan Telethon.

91
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.639
So yeah, yeah, yeah I
had it. Ryan and Tyler wouldn't

92
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.279
work anyway. Yeah, so straw
Hut hay House, you know, pretty

93
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.680
simple, huh. Yeah. And
then you kind of looked at each other

94
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.360
one day and said, let's let's
start a podcast company. I mean pretty

95
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.759
much every day we hung out at
work, like lunch, or we like

96
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.040
text each other like want to go
grab a coffee. We did a lot

97
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.959
of walks together. So we just
started talking about just different ideas and things

98
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:26.600
and it was like it you know, it evolved over time, and then

99
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.680
I was going to be quitting and
moving to Los Angeles with my now wife.

100
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.720
And originally I thought that hay House
would be okay with me doing that,

101
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.800
and now I think they would,
but they're remote now. They're all

102
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.399
remote now, yeah, exactly.
But at the time they were very against

103
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.079
it. I thought Ryan was a
crazy extremist to want to work remotely.

104
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.040
Yeah, and so I said,
all right, peace, I'm gone.

105
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.360
And that's when, really I think
I moved. And then maybe a few

106
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.879
months later we like started the business
and then Tyler was still at hay House

107
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.839
and I was like just running things
kind of on my own. And then

108
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.839
he would like call off sick for
a few times depending on what we had

109
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.480
to do. And then like also
had also had Fridays off. Yeah,

110
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.759
we worked for ten hour days,
so um, we started trying to squeeze

111
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.040
if we had to be on set
or like do things like that. We

112
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.040
were trying to do like Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, um, you know,

113
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.040
for at the beginning, and then
we got to the point, I

114
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.959
mean, really a great shit that
happened to us. Story is the reason

115
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.360
why I left the company. It
was because we had an opportunity to help

116
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.960
produce a movie. But yeah,
it went to complete shit. It was

117
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.399
such a disaster. I hear about
that. Yeah, let's not say any

118
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:52.080
names or okay, yeah, I
don't know how Okay, how would you

119
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.919
well, we'll refer to the director
as P. How would you like to,

120
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.440
um, describe how you met Pe
and how we got involve this.

121
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:07.159
Okay. So I was working for
a client in Los Angeles, is one

122
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:15.639
of many we had, and she
had this opportunity for another job from P

123
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.039
to do like a commercial and she
was going to be in it, and

124
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.919
and I was, you know,
we were hired to shoot this commercial.

125
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.519
Um, we did it. It
turned out really great. Pe loved it

126
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.200
and then approached me later and said, like, I'd like to make a

127
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.039
movie. Would you be able to
like put together a team and help me,

128
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.799
you know, you know, like
DP this thing and run the camera

129
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.480
crew and all this stuff. And
I was like, yeah, that sounds

130
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.440
like a blast. That's been my
dream. I would love to, you

131
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.240
know, make a movie with you. Anyway, It just yeah, we

132
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.039
did it. We brought together a
whole team, we ran the whole crew,

133
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.679
we handled payroll, We handled everything. We bought a lot of equipment,

134
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.360
We bought a van, we bought
by all kinds of stuff in preparation

135
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.559
to make this. We went all
in. I quit my job, Tyler

136
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.759
quit his job. Basically moved to
LA for a couple of months, stay

137
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.000
couches and staying yeah my couch or
no, we we had it. We

138
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.919
had a guest room at time,
and you had friends here too, and

139
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.919
then UM and P actually wanted me
to move in with him. Yeah.

140
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:28.159
I found very uncomfortable and I looked
at Yeah riding and the eyes and I

141
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:33.360
said, please don't let this happen
to me. Yeah. I don't know

142
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.559
where to take the story from here, but like I mean, basically,

143
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.720
it's just a whirlwind of bad things
happened from wildfires we had. We had

144
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:48.200
three different locations scheduled and kind of
paid for to film at, and two

145
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.240
of them got completely shut down.
I was during the LA fire, so

146
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.360
like Mount Mount when Malibu was up
in flames. I think that was at

147
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.879
the same time. And you know, the advice we had given P was

148
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.039
like, I think we need to
postpone the shoot, and and really like

149
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:09.000
I think that's what we need to
do because we're our cruise doesn't feel safe,

150
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.200
our crew doesn't feel safe to go
out, and and you know,

151
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:18.799
and he said no, and he
wanted to h He pretended that he had

152
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.480
scouted a couple locations before we got
there to shoot, and we had never

153
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.200
seen it, so we didn't know
what part of these locations we were filming

154
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.240
it. So, you know,
these long days are turning into double long

155
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.840
days. And because all of our
shot lists for our pre production, for

156
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.559
the locations that we had planned for, were just turned to shit, and

157
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.600
so it's like it's like, wow, do we I don't know, how

158
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.039
do we run a crew of like
fifteen people and nobody knows what the fuck's

159
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.279
going on? And then we slowly
learned that the script itself, this guy

160
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.840
wanted to kind of improvise a movie
while we were shooting and wasn't going along

161
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.639
with the story structure that Ryan had
spent months helping him kind of rite and

162
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.559
develop. And he was adapting as
script based on like us not being able

163
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.840
to shoot certain places. He's like, well, what if the main character

164
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.679
is doing this at the time,
We're like, okay, well, and

165
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.360
then he tried to Yeah, he
tried to bring in the element of the

166
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.200
fire and like, let's use this
for our story, you know. And

167
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:20.919
I'm also acting in the movie.
Oh yeah, he's the star. Yeah.

168
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.600
And you know, if you know, off off recording, we can

169
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.360
send you some information on this director. And he had made you know,

170
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.639
there's movies online that you can stream
with big actors and uh recommended, Like

171
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.720
I think one of them even is
a recommended movie somehow, like got decent

172
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.679
reviews. Um. So Ryan and
I were excited about it, like,

173
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.960
Okay, maybe this is just how
this guy works. He improviser shit and

174
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.000
and uh and and it'll all work
out. And then slowly, you know,

175
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.320
crew members are like, hey,
this isn't gonna work. I've been

176
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.639
on sets like this like and we're
like, yeah, we're starting to get

177
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.960
that, you know, sound guys, they're staying Uh, catering isn't happening.

178
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.720
It's like all just a nightmare.
The things that he was supposed to

179
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.720
take care of he didn't and it
looked bad on us, and yeah,

180
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.000
it looked really bad on us.
And we so we ended up shooting for

181
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.639
a total of uh I think five
for six days and then we closed it

182
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:24.960
down and um, yeah, and
then he had had really nice equipment.

183
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:31.080
Yeah. I mean there was one
scene where he got a piano shipped in

184
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.519
for this really successful uhum concert stunt. What was the end of the piano

185
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:43.799
that whatever? That bige whatever,
very famous, but he had used it

186
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.759
in a scene that we filmed with
like Jones and three different cameras, and

187
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.919
we had got all this footage of
it, and he tried to like,

188
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.279
Okay, well what if we pitch
this to the piano company and make it

189
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.200
a commercial for the piano company.
And I think I spent like three weeks

190
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.279
trying to edit a commercial out of
this like piano and o scene and just

191
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.799
really stretching it along and and and
I don't think we ever got paid for

192
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.679
that. Yeah, no you didn't. But it was some of the most

193
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.440
beautiful stuff we've ever shot, you
know, it really was like it was

194
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.799
nice footage. So I think we
were kind of excited about about, you

195
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.279
know, trying to repurpose it.
But just in the end, you know,

196
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.879
if your director doesn't know what they're
doing, it's it's not going to

197
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:24.679
work out. So the movie never
really went anywhere. No, we can

198
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.159
send you the little featurette that he
put together about I would love to see

199
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.399
that the movie. It's very strange. But oh so that really was the

200
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.440
ship that happened to you guys in
the beginning. But then I was forced

201
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.480
I didn't have a job anymore,
and I was forced to Ryan and I

202
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.480
were out on our own. I
think we had a couple of clients,

203
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.759
and we were paying the bills and
or whatever we needed to to exist m

204
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.679
rent wise and things like that,
and we're like, all right, now

205
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.759
we have no choice, let's let's
do this. Go in yeah. Yeah,

206
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.399
Well, and that was good timing, you know, with the kind

207
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.039
of boom of podcast. I mean
I was like, what, I was

208
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.639
like twenty seven years old or something
at that time, so I was like,

209
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.600
it doesn't feel that risky to me. I mean, I'm in my

210
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.519
twenties. Let's just go for it. I don't know, twenty six whatever,

211
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.600
And how many podcasts do you produce
on straw hut? Well, I

212
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.919
actually was making a list today to
figure out a bunch of separate things,

213
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.000
and like currently like weekly, right
now, we have twenty one shows weekly,

214
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.120
but like we have I think in
total it's like thirty six or something

215
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.519
that we've kind of done or maybe
forty maybe forty because there's a lot that

216
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.159
just um, you know, we
do one season, it's one and done,

217
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.759
you know, yeah, but they
still exist. Awesome that they still

218
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.559
exist, of course. Okay,
great anyway, I mean that was a

219
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.480
good story I forgot you know me
too. Yeah, That's what really like

220
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.519
started us off and got us to
you know, no more. We were

221
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.080
trying to get our crew out into
the fires. You know, there was

222
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.480
one point where we could see you
know, we could see where the fires

223
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.639
were over this hill and we're like, this isn't good. Oh, and

224
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.159
that have the masks. And then
we had this big crew truck and he

225
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.600
tried he made us go up this
one path and it ripped off the top

226
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.879
of the truck that we had rented. I mean, just like everything everything

227
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.279
that could go wrong. Yeah.
Yeah. It was like these really narrow,

228
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:25.639
windy roads up into like Malibu Canyon
and like, um and yeah,

229
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.960
like I don't know if you're familiar
or been to Malibu, but there's obviously

230
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.159
the beach, then there's hills right
on the other side, and that's all

231
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.799
part of this huge, gorgeous canyon
in Malibu, and and that's where we

232
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.440
were shooting up in these hills and
yeah, and it you can't take a

233
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.480
you can't take like a big I
don't know what kind of truck is that.

234
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.159
I mean, it was like the
size of a semi tall wise just

235
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.480
not as long, not as long. Yeah, and uh and the driver

236
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.240
should have known his limitations, but
yeah, it was really I was falling

237
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.639
behind him. It was after like
a fifteen hour day on set, and

238
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.599
um, I was following him back
and all of a sudden, this tree

239
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.880
that's sticking over the road. Just
I see him hit it so hard.

240
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.440
I heard this loud sound. I
slammed on the brakes and you see this

241
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.400
big gouge out of the whole side
of the truck. And I was like,

242
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:23.920
that tree ripped it through And was
this did you buy this truck or

243
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.960
this was like our rented It was
part of the rental for the crew,

244
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.799
for the you know, like all
the hardware that you need to shoot.

245
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.720
We did rent a van. I'm
sorry, we did purchase a van that

246
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:41.759
I just sold last year. Um, but but we rented this with this

247
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.839
vehicle. Yeah, and you know, including the driver, so the driver.

248
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.680
It really was on the driver.
But I felt really bad yeah.

249
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.759
I mean, yeah, it's not
up to us to tell you if you

250
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:56.400
should drive up certain things. He
should be able to gauge you know,

251
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.960
his truck. But we did feel
very bad. He was pretty upset.

252
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.319
I remember like one of one of
the scenes we were shooting that wasn't going

253
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.440
well, and I started to argue
with Pe for a second of like why

254
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.640
this wasn't working? And then Arturo
was just like, dude, this is

255
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.039
the funnest part when productions aren't working. You just go our friend Arturo who

256
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.400
was who was helping he was he
was shooting it, right, you see

257
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.599
amatographer on that was no Mike was
was the camera operator. Yeah, yeah,

258
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.039
um, and he goes, he
goes. At this point, all

259
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.359
you do is go, oh,
that's a great idea, and you nod

260
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.559
your head. And then we were
we roll and he's like, it's the

261
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.519
funnest part when you just know it's
going to go to shit and you cannot

262
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.000
find And then from there we just
started we started having We were just laughing.

263
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.359
Yeah, you know, we're just
you know, uh, we knew

264
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.720
it wasn't going to work out,
so what do you do? You know,

265
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.680
we were all giggling and the crew
started having so much fun because it

266
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.079
just got more and more ridiculous,
Like every new idea that P had what

267
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.680
was more and more ridiculous. So
yeah, yeah, the crew really enjoyed

268
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.920
that after a certain point until their
until their safety problem. Yeah. And

269
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:08.960
this is a director that you're saying, like if you had and I know

270
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.640
you're not going to say the name, I don't want to know the name,

271
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.640
but if we if you said the
name, we would like know we

272
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:19.720
would probably not but you wouldn't know
his name, but you would. He's

273
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.599
worked, He's made some successful movies
with people whose name you do know?

274
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.160
Yeah, a huge name with huge
actors. Yeah, okay, yeah anyway,

275
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.680
yeah, yeah, good stories.
Yeah. So now, um,

276
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:40.440
there are other stories that you have
that have happened to both of you along

277
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.319
this journey. Yeah, so that
just kind of set the stay. I'm

278
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.279
working together for a long time,
so um, you know and really scrambling.

279
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:51.599
One one of the stories I was
going to bring up was UM,

280
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:57.400
while Ryan UM recently started traveling to
Mexico a lot, both for planing your

281
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:03.559
wedding and UM just in general just
an attraction to Mexico City and how amazing

282
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.720
it is there. Um. I
live in San Diego actually where Ryan's from,

283
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.640
but he's in La and Um,
he was planning on one of the

284
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.480
easier ways to travel to different parts
of Mexico if you want to fly is

285
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.039
by crossing the border through San Diego. You walk over. They have a

286
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.160
really cool system, um CBX,
and you cross over and then it takes

287
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.920
you straight to the Tijuana airport where
you can fly out way cheaper than if

288
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.039
you're flying out of San Diego,
and it just makes it really simple.

289
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.039
Um, you don't even steps in
Tijuana when you do it. It's just

290
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.039
a tunnel in. Yeah. Yeah, it's an incredible experience. And from

291
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.359
Tijuana to Mexico City round trip was
like sixty bucks and it's like, that's

292
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.000
wild, you know, it was
like three hundred or four hundred bucks from

293
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.240
La. Yeah, it's like.
But that being said, there is a

294
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:59.039
huge difference between going to CBX and
going to Tijuana. And so Ryan and

295
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:04.680
Mag's Maggie his now wife, needed
a ride to CBX to do the flight,

296
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.400
and I picked him up from Ryan's
dad's house in San Marcos where it's

297
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:14.559
in San Diego, and um,
you know, I think we initially put

298
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.599
in the right address. We put
in CBX, but we stopped for a

299
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.000
coffee and my maps got turned around, and then when we got back in

300
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.599
the car, you just go through
the history and it's just like recommends where

301
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.839
you want to go, and I
just hit I think we hit Tijuana Airport

302
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:33.599
for some reason. Yeah, instead
of CBX that I had already had in

303
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.519
UM. So I just didn't even
pay any attention to it. It's like,

304
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.920
yeah, we're going to and then
when you you know, we're talking

305
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.279
for the whole time, just conversing, going down and when you get to

306
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:48.279
a certain point in this highway that
I took, there are walls to the

307
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.319
right and left of view, and
it just takes you straight into the border

308
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:57.599
crossing and you there's nothing you can
do. Apparently I really thought I could,

309
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.119
um. But so once you realize
that, it goes, you know,

310
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.200
because Mexico border only these signs that
we're starting to realize what I'm doing

311
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.599
here, like oh shit, shit, we're going into Mexico right in Mexico.

312
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:15.720
So but there's a little embassy um
kind of situation and bathroom and I

313
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.480
did have to pee anyway, So
before you actually go through the little gate

314
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.920
things of being in Mexico. There's
one bull off area and there is a

315
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:30.279
gate that they block off that looks
movable you can turn around, So I

316
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.480
pull over, I go pee,
and I talked to the two the It

317
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.200
was a lady and a guy,
and I think they both had their rifles

318
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.920
out right there, like they always
do down there. They're m sixteens.

319
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.160
It's very and I'm standing there and
I'm like, I'm like, oh,

320
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.000
hey, I need to turn around
because I didn't mean to go to Mexico.

321
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.920
And the guy's like, you're in
Mexico and I was like, oh

322
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.279
no, I'm not, though,
because that's the gate right there, and

323
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.160
because the gate is different because well
you think it is, because there's like

324
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.160
the stop lying and there's a person
that there standing and letting you come through,

325
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.960
and so you assume that's you assume
that's Mexico. But it turns out

326
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.000
he was told. He told me
for four times, and like the girl's

327
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.000
laughing. It's a very shaw.
He's like, you're in Mexico, and

328
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.279
I was like, I know,
but there's a little thing right here where

329
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.880
it says you can turn around,
but it's blocked off. Can you just

330
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.359
open it for me. He's like, bro, you're what do you understanding

331
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:27.079
You're in Mexico. I'm like,
I don't want to be though. I

332
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:32.960
don't mean to insult you, but
my wife is eight months pregnant at the

333
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.640
time. There's perfect timing. I
don't know if you just heard my daughter

334
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:41.240
in the background. Um, so
she's do any minute at this point,

335
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.160
any day. I mean, she's
we're full along, We're there. Um

336
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.480
And like Tyler, you were I
don't even know if you bought a wallet,

337
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.799
but you were like in like gym
shorts and just a T shirt.

338
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.480
I think I had gotten done with
yeah, fighting jiu jitsu that morning,

339
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.759
so um, which I get up
for four thirty in the morning and then

340
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.480
and I had already done that.
I had, I had my wallet,

341
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.519
I didn't have a passport, and
I'm in Mexico. Yeah. Actually they

342
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.440
searched. They did a really interesting
thing too. I think they saw my

343
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.359
hesitation of going across the border,
so they actually made us pull over to

344
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:21.200
go into Mexico, which is rare. Yeah, that search coming back for

345
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:26.720
contraband and things. But they actually
searched my truck going into Mexico. I

346
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.160
think I think they saw that I
didn't want to go, you know,

347
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.440
so they were like, this guy
has a little sketchy. I would say

348
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:37.240
probably sketchy, Yeah for sure.
Um, but I didn't have any contract.

349
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.640
I wasn't bringing anything into Mexico other
than Ryan and Mago. So um.

350
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.279
But that process, you know,
to get them to the airport,

351
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.440
it was right down right down the
street, and yeah, then you went

352
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.279
to Mexico. Then I went to
Mexico and I dropped them off and uh,

353
00:24:52.319 --> 00:25:00.000
they had a beautiful flight. Um. And then I spent the next

354
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.960
hour or so being told not to
go through you know, I put on

355
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.960
my maps and they tell you which
which entrance is quicker back into the US,

356
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.720
and it goes not the one you're
at to the go to the other

357
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.119
one. It's gonna be It's gonna
save you at least two hours. I'm

358
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.359
like, okay, cool, then
I'm gonna go to that one. I

359
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.279
get in line there, and I've
been through this border before, and Ryan,

360
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.440
you're kind of familiar. I'm not
even close to the bridge. Oh,

361
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.000
the O Tai one is the one
you ended up going to. Yeah,

362
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.079
you know the big bridge that you
get stuck on. Me. I'm

363
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.559
not even I'm probably two miles behind
there and there's a line. Geez.

364
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.480
So I get in there and I'm
like, and I look it up and

365
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.599
I'm in line, and there's no
turning around once you're in that line either.

366
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.160
I had to get gas too,
but that was relatively easy and it

367
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:48.599
took me. I got in line
at ten am after I dropped them off

368
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.799
of the airport, directly at the
airport. It was really convenient from Yeah,

369
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.960
it was really nice. They walked
straight in the air for it,

370
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.039
and their flight was on time.
They finished. They got to Mexico City

371
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:06.960
before I got home to San Diego. I got home at three thirty pm.

372
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.960
Oh no, and got in line
at ten am to across the border.

373
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:18.839
That day. Did pe and the
help the whole time? Oh yeah.

374
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.799
I had a coffee and some water. I peeed at the gas station

375
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.720
before I got gas, but I
did have to pee the entire time.

376
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.480
Um and luckily I had a full
tank of gas. So yeah, yeah,

377
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:34.079
yeah, it was a long It
was a long, long day of

378
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.799
nothing much. I mean, I
didn't have my laptop. We had clients

379
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.039
emailing us and stuff, so I'm
just answering emails. But I'm not able

380
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.000
to do anything, yeah, production
wise or physically edit anything, you know.

381
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.160
Um, but I got to the
front, I'm all nervous because I

382
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.960
don't on my passport either, you
know. And then the guy's like I

383
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.440
rolled down the window and it's like, why don't you have a passport?

384
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.720
And I was like, oh,
I do. I just I didn't bring

385
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.240
it because I wasn't supposed to go
to Mexico today. And he's like,

386
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.680
I'm not really sure what that means. I'm like, yeah, it's He's

387
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.640
just like, it seems like you've
had a rough day. I'm like I

388
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.359
have. He's just like, all
right, take it easy, you have

389
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.000
a good one. He's just let
me through. I mean, do you

390
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.119
that must happen. It can't be
here the only person that that happens too.

391
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.880
Oh no, I mean I hear
about people going with just their driver's

392
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.599
license all the time and it not
being an a yeah. And now since

393
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.200
I just got married there, um, I learned a whole bunch of new

394
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.480
information about it. And like,
you know, the time it takes to

395
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.319
get into the US is the US
Customs and Border Control, and they are

396
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.359
obligated to actually if you're a US
citizen to let you in like that is

397
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.839
like they're there. They have to
let you in. So they could put

398
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.480
you into secondary and they can question
you all they want and that takes another

399
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:52.599
hour or so, but ultimately they
have to let you in. Yeah,

400
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.079
but if you don't have your passport, how can you prove that you're a

401
00:27:55.160 --> 00:28:00.359
US citizen? I mean hopefully you
have your driver's license. Yeah, right,

402
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.519
yeah, and then I'm sure they
would put you into some other you

403
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.759
know, a million people. Yeah. Yeah, I did have a picture

404
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.279
of my passport, that's if it
came down to it, so they would

405
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.039
be able to look up my number
and compare it to my idea and things

406
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.640
like that, which it didn't come
down to. But yeah, that's good.

407
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.519
That's good. Yeah, And you
didn't like pull out like a ten

408
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.799
or twenty and no, because these
are American have made it worse, right

409
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.559
right at this point, they're Americans, the guys, and the guys before

410
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.119
I should have been maybe they would
have turned around, maybe they would have

411
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:33.440
opened up that gate. I didn't
have any cash on me. Can I

412
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:38.279
venmo you one hundred bucks that help
me not go to Mexico. Turns out

413
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:41.559
Mexico does not do VENMO. That
would have been really helpful for the wedding.

414
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.240
Oh yeah, that's right. Anyways, that's my that's me Ryan and

415
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.599
I had and then he Ryan got
me a cool shirt when they got to

416
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.599
Mexico City that's just like has a
logo on it of someone's head in a

417
00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.720
cloud and it just says, I
don't know, just he's just that reminded

418
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.559
him of me, because you know, I was flustered at that point.

419
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.759
Yeah, or I went to Mexico
didn't mean too Yeah, yeah, yeah,

420
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.359
that's exactly what it was. Yeah, most of the times I've been

421
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.759
to Mexico, I've really really meant
to do it, um with full intentions

422
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.039
of going to Mexico. This time, you know, getting lost in TJ

423
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.000
and on the phone with my pregnant
wife and trying to find the right border

424
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.759
entrance to go to it was a
little scary, but once I was in

425
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.799
actually it was like really calming once
I was in the line, because I

426
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:32.960
knew I was going the right way. But yeah, just not the unknowing

427
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.119
of how long something's going to take
is very frustrating for a somewhat impatient person

428
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:38.880
like myself. Yeah, of just
like I don't know how long this is

429
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.240
going to take. I have no
idea. I don't know how close I

430
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.880
am. I don't want to turro. I don't want to buy your dog.

431
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:49.200
You know. You mean it's happening
while you're laying, while you're standing

432
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.839
in line, and this when you
when you're driving a line, people come

433
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.160
up to your window and they're trying
to sell you stuff. They try to

434
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.200
wash your windshield, they try to
you know, um, they try to

435
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:02.559
sell you a puppy. They they
do all that. But I didn't purchase

436
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.039
any Turos or anything. No.
I usually do, and they're delicious,

437
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:11.400
they are very good. I just
wasn't in So I just have to tell

438
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.400
you it's I mean, that totally
didn't happen to me. But I'll tell

439
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.359
you what did happen to me at
a border kind of thing. Um,

440
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:25.200
I went with my friend to Spain. She invited me. She used to

441
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:30.920
work for um Abbott Labs and they
used to like give give away these huge

442
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.440
trips to their employees who had you
know, like big years you know,

443
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.680
and um it was like amazing.
I don't think they can do it anymore,

444
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.839
said years. No, big big
years years. Yeah. Yeah,

445
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.720
so um she her husband couldn't go
this year this time, and she was

446
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.839
like, let's um, why don't

was great. It was a beautiful like

448
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.960
it was an amazing trip, like
it wasn't just your average trip to Spain,

449
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:00.680
like they really did everything, like
we went to a castle and all

450
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.519
kinds of things. Anyway, so
we get there and you know, you're

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.640
oh, this is a cool thing. And I take my phone and go

453
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.960
and take a picture of basically like
what is you know, I can't think

454
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:21.559
of words anymore, like when they're
checking you in, like it's not the

455
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.000
border customs. Customs, Yeah,
like customs. I take my phone,

456
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:30.440
I'm like click and I literally no, I literally took a picture of the

457
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:36.079
sign that said like no pictures loud. So it was like it's not that

458
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.960
loud, you know, but all
have a sudden I all these custom agents

459
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.839
like we're on me, and they're
like come over here, man, well

460
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:47.279

you know, and they like and now

461
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.160

00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:56.640
customs and they're like going on,
and I'm detained over here, and you

463
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.559
have to know, like I'm like
a person who just tries to do everything

464
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.519
right most of the time, you
know, Like I don't I didn't get

465
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.880
into the principal's office. All of
my like Lincolnwood friends will like know this,

466
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.160
Like I was just like a really
good girl, you know, and

467
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:15.640
now I'm detained by like costumes in
Spain and they're like, he's like,

468
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.119
you know, one minute, he's
got to go talk to some very official

469
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.480
people about this awful thing that I
did. And he finally comes back and

470
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:24.799
I'm like, can I just delete
the picture? Like is that okay?

471
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:30.319
I just delete the picture and was
delete. So I delete the picture and

472
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.839
then they let me go. Luckily, but who knows. I could have

473
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.839
been like I don't know why that
is a thing. I've seen that before

474
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.039
and I've gotten yelled at, but
I've never gotten pulled away. But like

475
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.279
it must be they think that you're
like photographing their process of or something,

476
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.640
or like getting information about them or
the I don't know what the deal is

477
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:54.359
about the photos in the customs line. I don't know righte, spy look

478
00:32:54.440 --> 00:33:00.200
to you so well, I did
have brown hair then, but no,

479
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.960
I'm like the suburban you know,
like mom, like I probably am the

480
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.680
least likely person. That's why,
you know, that's it. Maybe that's

481
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.440
a trigger now, you know.
H Yeah, yeah, sure, you

482
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.200
are right. Right. They don't
do anything to me anymore they used to.

483
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:23.640
Yeah right, I got through two
borders. Yeah right, doesn't even

484
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:30.359
mean the passport, yeah right right. So yeah, anyway, all Ryan,

485
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:31.839
let's hear your story. I mean, I guess we we're bringing you

486
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:37.440
three talk about Yeah, okay,
I'll tell you this one. It happened

487
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.200
I don't know, a while ago. It's with a it's a it's regarding

488
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:47.000
a podcast that we actually never ended
up producing because of it was just a

489
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.160
whole shit show. Um. And
so I'm not going to say the person's

490
00:33:52.240 --> 00:34:00.319
name against that's fine, but it's
a very it's a famous actor. And

491
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.319
I thought it would be a great
show and it would do very well,

492
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:10.440
but quickly realized how how tough it
was going to be. Um. But

493
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:15.679
this one time, in particular,
it was ten am and I had just

494
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.360
recorded with another show, and I
went and actually had breakfast with Catherine keener.

495
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.760
And then and it was close to
where I was going to be heading,

496
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.760
I'm gonna call this person. The
other one was Pete. I'm gonna

497
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:37.400
call this one L like I don't
know, okay, and and then it's

498
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:45.400
almost alphabetical. Yeah. Yeah.
I was texting L being like I'm gonna

499
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.119
be a few minutes later, but
i'll be there at I think I was

500
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:51.880
saying like instead of ten of ten, I'll be there like ten thirty.

501
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.840
No response, nothing, and I
have got all my gear ready to record.

502
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.880
Um, I can't remember who our
guest was, but someone also famous.

503
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:06.239
That's just how it works. And
so no response, no response,

504
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.039
no response. I ended up pushing
a little later because I still hadn't heard

505
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:13.800
a response. I get there.
I get to Elle's house at ten forty

506
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:21.000
five and everything was closed and lockdown
in the like the windows usually open,

507
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.679
the doors usually open. There's a
screen a gorgeous house in Malibu right on

508
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:30.800

in the window and I see this figure

like I'm knocking, and I'm like ell

510
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:49.039

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.199
He twists off the bottle. It's
up. There are two bottles of

536
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:45.840

it in my car as we're I'm driving.

537
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:51.800
I'm just like and he's just like
guzzling, guzzling shardon And I'm like,

538
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.880

He's like, it's up here.

539
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.599
You know it's up. It's up

540
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.599
the right. I'm like, okay, I find the hotel. I pull

541
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:06.639
in. I pull into the parking
spot and he's like, would you mind

542
00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.079
just going in and just you know, getting me a room? And I'm

543
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:15.440
like, hmm, I will not
get you a room, but I will

544
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.159
see if they have availability. So
I walked out. I left him in

545
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.559
the car. I go in.
Turns out, this very fancy place right

546
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:31.599
on the one overlooking the ocean thankfully
did not have availability. So I look

547
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:34.800
at my I get back in the
car and tell him it. He gets

548
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.960
all hitsy about it, and then
I look at my phone. I'm just

549
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:43.000
like, okay, what I just
need a cheap hotel right now. I

550
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.039
just need to put this person in
a cheap room somewhere. So the closest

551
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:50.280
thing I could find was in Santa
Monica. There was like rooms for like

552
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.760
two fifty a night. I found
it. It was like a thirty five

553
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:01.840
forty minute drive from where we were
in Malibu, so yeah, oh yeah.

554
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.760
He finished one of the Chardonnay bottles
by the time we got there.

555
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:13.440
Um. I get to this other
hotel, I asked if they have availability.

556
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:15.840
They do. I asked if we
could get early check in, because

557
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:19.800
you know, usually you can't get
in your room until like three or whatever.

558
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.360
And it was like, I don't
know, eleven eleven thirty maybe at

559
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:29.760
this point. And got the room, you know, paid for it on

560
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:36.039
the company card, and and and
then go back to the I was in

561
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:39.119
a loading zone right on the street, and I told the valet guy,

562
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:43.000
Can I just leave my car here? Well, I'm gonna walk el up

563
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:47.760
to the room. And l was
a complete mess. He had a bottle

564
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.679
Chardonnay in his other hand and his
like dangling on my shoulder. And I

565
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:59.199
was like walking him through the hallways
in this Santa Monica hotel and his room

566
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.320
was like on the eighth or or
something, and so he's I'm just like

567
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:09.360
dragging this this dude into this elevator
and I get him in there, I

568
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:15.800
give him the keys. I say, I'm gonna get going, and he's

569
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.880
like looking out the window. I
don't know, it's like a very silhouetty

570
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:22.000
iconic pose, just like looking out
on the window, like his side,

571
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.639
you know, hips to the side, his hand on his hip and just

572
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:29.519
like looking out. And I was
like, ell, I've got to get

573
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.239
out of here. And then he
came up towards me and he just gave

574
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:37.360
me this hug and he started crying
on my shoulder. Oh, he just

575
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.679
started crying. And I don't know
exactly what he said, but he's like

576
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:46.679
slobbering on my shoulder. Ryan's also
texting me. I'm like, I don't

577
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:52.599
know, man, I probably would
have hit him, all right, Yeah,

578
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:57.000
it was very frustrated. It was
he was crying. I said,

579
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:01.480
I hope everything works out out,
you know, uh, let me know,

580
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:07.360
referring to I don't you know,
I don't know what his issue with.

581
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:13.480
It was some kind of issue with
his wife and a thing, and

582
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:17.519
I don't know exactly what happened.
He's also he's also a recovering. He's

583
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.880
recovering. He knew this at the
time that he's and he's drinking, right,

584
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:27.000
I didn't know about the recovery part
of it. I mean, he

585
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:31.880
didn mention a sponsor at one point, okay whose name rhymes with schmell Schmidt,

586
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.320
which is probably not the best.
Yeah, he did, but I

587
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:38.760
thought that was on the drive,
as when he was mentioning that to me

588
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:45.840
that forty five minute drive, it's
when I was when I called yeah yeah

589
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:53.119
and uh and uh yeah yeah.
So cry I I leave. I feel

590
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:58.199
really bad, I mean, but
granted I also did pay for his room,

591
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:02.880
so feel a little less bad,
and um I I left the next

592
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.000
morning. Though, however, is
really really what was What was interesting is

593
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:15.920
that I got a call from the
police m because because L wouldn't leave the

594
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:21.480
room, at his checkout time,
and so I had to have a long

595
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.679
conversation with the police. I'm like, do you have his wife's number?

596
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.000
Here's his wife's number. Do you
have this. I'm like, I've paid

597
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.679
for his room already and it's not
something I'm willing to do again. And

598
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:35.159
so I think they anyway, Yeah, I think they took him in.

599
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:40.840
He has a manager, who I
find to be one of the most irritating

600
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.679
types of people, who, you
know, Ryan's like, hey, I'm

601
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:49.400
busy dealing with the cops. Can
you get ahead of get ahead of his

602
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:52.559
get ahold of his manager to tell
him the situation, you know. So

603
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.199
like we're texting him like, hey, there's police involved. I just want

604
00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:59.159
you to know, like a head's
up, this is your friend, blah

605
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:01.400
blah blah, Like you know,
Ryan's dealing with it. He shouldn't have.

606
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:05.840
He's a podcast producer, you know, Like and then he goes,

607
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:08.199
who do you think I am?
Jesus, what do you want me to

608
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.800
do? I'm in Canada or something
like that, And I said, I

609
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:17.719
said something like I'm just informing you
that your friend and your client, and

610
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.239
you know, like he's in trouble, and he needs your help. I

611
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.000
don't. I don't expect you to
do anything. I actually don't expect to

612
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:30.039
talk to you ever. Again,
I would prefer and we've already had other

613
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.159
issues with this guy too, and
I just I have no patience for rude

614
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:37.039
people like that, you know.
Um, just like how like putting it

615
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.320
on me? Like what does it
seem like a crazy thing for me to

616
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:44.840
be contacting you about your client who's
in trouble? You know, like is

617
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:46.920
it that big of a deal?
Like yeah, He's like, what do

618
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:50.239
you want me to do? And
I'm like, I don't know. I

619
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.000
don't know what to do in this
situation this person. Yeah, exactly,

620
00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:02.599
you know, I don't know.
But yeah, anyway, God, it

621
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:06.519
had so much potential to be a
great show. You know, we were

622
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:10.199
both really excited about it, and
we were able to release a few episodes,

623
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:14.440
but um no, well yeah,
we ended up not releasing it.

624
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.480
Oh yeah, it's not out.
Actually I think we did one as we

625
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:22.639
did one at first, and then
we had to take it off because it

626
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:28.000
just what's the point of releasing one
episode or something? Yeah. Um,

627
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:34.599
but anyway, I hope he's okay
now, Yeah, we does he remember

628
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.280
like do you think he remembered this? He did apologize later. Um,

629
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:42.719
he actually has been texting me as
of this week. So well, he

630
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.440
did ask you for a ride to
the grocery store once. Yeah, yeah,

631
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.719
it got it, went down to
best Let, Slippery Slope. He

632
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:51.880
asked if he could crash on my
couch she's at you know, asked,

633
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.119
um, yeah, it was all
kinds of weird things. Does he want

634
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:59.480
to do the podcast? Now?
Hey, let's get him on the ship

635
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:04.440
that happened to me. Yeah,
maybe he might be. He might be

636
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.559
done with podcasting. I think he
just wants to be my friend. Maybe

637
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:09.960
I don't know you. And that's
sweet. It's a good it's a good.

638
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:14.360
Uh, that's a good having dinner
at dinner party conversation like how did

639
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:20.400
you guys meet? Yeah, I
get I have all kinds of weird situations

640
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.519
like that with the Yeah, we
have found that a lot of these.

641
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.079
You know, Ryan's the one who's
out there in LA and he has he

642
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:32.719
you know, he deals with a
lot of our I guess celebrity type clients

643
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:37.079
that we've dealt with in the past, and they, yeah, they they

644
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:45.440
they cling on to the friendship or
the maybe because like we're not necessarily in

645
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.079
like the Hollywood, Hollywood industry,
so maybe they like like a puranis to

646
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:54.639
it and Ryan's a nice guy,
and they i mean even even p in

647
00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:59.800
the previous story, you know,
like wanting me to live in his house.

648
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:06.960
You know, I have a life, man, I can't um anyway.

649
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.920
Yeah, that's it. That's those
are our stories to it. I

650
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:15.880
mean, I think it's so like
for someone who's like not involved in that

651
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.639
world at all, and it's just
to want to be like it. It

652
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.639
can be you know, disappointing to
learn like these real things about you know,

653
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.400
like we just like have this like
image of all of these celebrities as

654
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:30.960
you know, like Steve Carrell is
just like a really nice guy. And

655
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.599
maybe he is just a really nice
guy, you know, but he probably

656
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:38.119
like you know, gets drunk or
fights with his wife or there are some

657
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:44.679
really real yeah yeah, yeah,
like Tom Hanks. We I don't ever

658
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:47.079
want to know anything bad about Tom
Hanks. Yeah, I know. Maybe

659
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.000
like we just started a show with
Harvey Gean for he's the guierma and what

660
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:58.000
we do in the Shadows and Harvey
is the sweetest man ever. Love him,

661
00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:00.360
so have a couple of his guests, you know, like Fred Armison

662
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:06.880
was such a sweetheart to be to
come on the show with him and yeah,

663
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.239
and he was just like actually thankful
to be on the podcast. Yeah,

664
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:13.679
yeah, thanks for including me.
You know. That's it's always nice

665
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:16.840
to hearing there's definitely like super sweet
people out there. There's just also so

666
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:24.199
I'm not sweet. Yeah. Yeah, Well I just saw. I was

667
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:30.480
in um Long Island last week and
we went shopping one day in the Hamptons,

668
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.039
the Hamptons and um, I was
in sag Harbor and I saw in

669
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:39.440
a store, um Melaura Harden,
who played Jan on The Office. Yeah,

670
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:45.639
and yeah, yeah, she just
like walked right by me and smiled,

671
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.599
you know, and like I smiled, and I was like, oh

672
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:52.440
my god, that's Jan from the
Office. So she's beautiful. And so

673
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:58.199
I left the store. Yeah,
I told Steve and you know, my

674
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:02.559
you know cousins that I was with, and and my you know cousin Scott

675
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:07.400
was like, are you sure it
was her? You know, maybe maybe

676
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:08.800
it was someone who looked like her, And I'm like, no, it

677
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:15.199
was her. And so now now
I had to go back in and with

678
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:19.639
him because he'd like didn't believe me, and so, but he's a big

679
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.599
chicken. So and when I go
back in, I'm like, well,

680
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.599
now I'm going to talk to her, right, And so we go back

681
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.920
in and I'm like, he said, he really like appreciated, like my

682
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.960
my process of pretending to buy a
pair of ear rings when really I was

683
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.719
just trying to get close to her. And so I'm like looking at some

684
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:38.960
ear rings and then i just kind
of sidle up next to her and I'm

685
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.000
like, oh, I want to
be honest and say I had to look

686
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.599
her name up after that day,
but you know, I went up to

687
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.880
and I'm like, oh, you're
m Laura Harden right um, and she

688
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.360
was like yeah, And I was
like, oh, you played Jan on

689
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:53.840
the I want to let you know
how much I enjoyed your performance. Is

690
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.639
Jan. She's like, well,
thank you so much. I'm glad you

691
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.119
enjoyed it. Super nice. So
now we leave and Scott was ready to

692
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:06.159
like run away. He was so
freaked out that I was talking to her

693
00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:10.400
just like that. Yeah. But
the best part was it if we were

694
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:15.320
walking around and she just kept showing
up, you know, with her friend.

695
00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:20.559
So at one point she passed us
and she practically was like hi,

696
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:23.360
you know, like she was so
friendly. So at that point I'm like,

697
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:29.000
hey, can we get a picture
because my kids think this didn't really

698
00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:30.880
happen if I don't have a picture, which was a lie. They were

699
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:35.599
like, oh cool mom, you
know, but well, kudos for knowing

700
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:40.119
her real name too. No,
I looked it up. Old been too

701
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.519
embarrassed to be oh you and then
she would have been like, well I

702
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:45.679
have a real name, you know. Yeah right, yeah, no,

703
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.119
I had to look it up.
That was one of the reasons I left

704
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:52.599
and went back and so and it
was kind of a weird moment because she

705
00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:55.199
was like, okay, we'll take
a selfie and she like took my phone.

706
00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.320
She was like reaching from my phone. I'm like, here, take

707
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:05.880
my phone, do whatever you want. Nice and she too, yeah right,

708
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.960
I think that's what it was.
Yeah. Yeah, so that was

709
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:15.559
now she I tagged her. She
still hasn't liked it, but that's okay.

710
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:21.559
Yeah she was really she was really
nice. So good. Yeah,

711
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:28.840
anyway, I think that's really special. Yeah, yeah, it made it

712
00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:32.280
was a highlight, one of the
highlights. So good. All right,

713
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:37.800
guys, Well thanks so much for
coming on and telling me those stories.
