Brian foreseen. I adore you and I'm sorry. This podcast is going up a few months later than it should have, but here is episode ten. Sixteen of the eighty tension I guess we bribe Jose, swear initiating and evil. And our neither man to man if you got one of these glasses before the movie came out verbal
if your mom took you to see the movie be pretty man at Burger King, Thirdly, the whole thing is this minor it's alive, and I think we discover that Lando Bitch, Yes,. He's no underhand being accomplished. Colonized slightly picture, opportunistic scoundrel, Lando betray his hand to Darth Vader, but later regrets, is action and assist in the escape of the millennium falcon screw spoilers, it's so because of a whopper because of a you, because you had a whopper like goddamn answer, no easy to fuckin Mama you get those stupid, glasses, you liked in each you think too much that you back from that is gonna buttoned up. I mean I guess. Maybe they just assume that at that point everyone has seen the movie bono, why they had to I mean: did they put on the back?
because if you get that glass a burger king you're, like I don't know, this man? Is it let's see what this one say oh! This is how this was obviously reproduction, because it refers to the safe diver, Darth, Vader, glass, and it says the dark. Lord, safe once a jet I night now draw is incredible: evil powers from the dark side of the force, as chief enforcer of the Galactic M Emperor Vader commands the it's hard to read. The wreck of the image on the back of a glass doesn't say like Luke's. Dad remains executor, Vader, debate commands the executor most fearsome of the Imperial STAR destroyers Vader hires Bobo fed her his bounty hunter who try Some millennium validates crew to cloud city on the gases planet. Investment can turn that Luke Skywalker grows ever stronger with a forest, Vader seem seeks to lure him to the side of evils It is interesting because this obviously
after serious from empire, but is it weird I refer to the Sith in something that's cause right. I mean Obviously I know it's also that's a reproach yeah, that's a reproach that, when I think is yours, I think is actually an original and you can tell by the shape of the glass but the butt, it's weird about it is because that is they did reckon it's obviously red, kindly sit there? I reckon, but still feels weird on on an empire strikes bath, that back glass to refer to the safe rare. Well, how with this. If you do do, do you like that, all storyline which how they well just like just basically evil general? I don't that I hate it cause. I think I was always about it as a kid writer, completely got why
in her head turned on his body in the Abbey Edith knew that he did yeah. I mean it's really put more story behind it. The girl, I guess then yeah the wreck coming in. Fire was pretty bad first star. Wars, though, is like you said: vitriol later betrayed murder, my father: well, I mean he was. You know when he became very they killed the good. What I told you it's from a certain point of view leg I dont know if that were not that really any water while distilled water. It's glass, of that story holds water right we're! angry about that when you saw it as a kid, or did you just go up makes sense. No, I didn't get angry about that. I was more like I a jet. I just because of the obvious reasons, but an empire, is totally an empire loved all the way through that still, my favorite. I think it's still the best one, but
Yet I was a teenager when- and most of my friends had already turned- I hope as their driving cars and getting laid driving cars to get laid and I was still taken. Ass the movies, and so I I was fired up about Jedi, but my friends, one and then I saw jet I and I had some problems. Does anyone take the bus to get the hissing, didn't taken together, lay how'd. You get her. Don't worry about that paths and you're gonna get to know Europe aspect. Yeah, I was just a few years younger than you, so I Then the right age revised Finally, let me she always like this is look at these little guys. You know, but of course, as they get older Jane, I had everybody telling me to
let it go like my mom, I my family, like this, I loved the toys figures came out like the first man became out when I was eleven so, but by the time the first wave of action figures came out. I think I was twelve and most my friends were playing with action but I was like this is the best thing ever and I write waiting for these and then add a couple of years with them, but I remember being in an ice Golan. My grandparents relate and no one kitty toys that reared I'll, show you how, by them before the rest of my adult life, you know, and then my friends were obviously like now or Nazi and had I will go ahead. I'm late now I still of this thing, racial resident here those people I am, I went back to being friends with them, but when I walked away from some of them in high school but sure now lot of them stated my little my little tiny town and I'm sure now they're like
You know I metal, buddies railways, coy to meddle friends that are still like my two best friends in life, but we stay close the whole time. I I can't I wanna dissection. A bit and explore the cross over between metal culture. A nerd culture because when I went, was growing up. Things were very things were very this or that and now Everyone is a bit of everything right. We're all express our and everything is easy to thy. I think. Even in those days is that you know like really deep metal. Music was hard to acquire really like nerd toys were difficult to acquire written you, no money. Python episodes were difficult to quietly gray in those days in the eighties and late seventies and eighties, and so everyone was sort of the by product of how much work they were. Going to put into something which was driven by how passionate they were at it. Now every is so easy to get that it does not matter. But when growing up the metal we're like hashes, and I did not know that day
that there was a nerd cry. I didn't know that there was a nerd component to that then meeting you and obviously being friends with Rob zombie all these years. Like all wait, there's like there's like a huge component right seems for me and my close friends, we were the metal heads that the other matter heads didn't like and then there were the stone it cause. I didn't small part, nice, cooler or nor to twenty one. I think I started smoking part and I hated this donors at my school because they were just AC, Deasey, dumb, asses and dim, like the other stuff I didn't know who envy mom steam and it was me and my new bodies. They were kind of Guy was computer guy and is still might like, and this is in an eighty three when he had to be rich to have it Peter and re- had a home computer and was that kind of kid and
the other kid was learning to play the bass, and we were like three smart dorks that, like this really heavy aggressive music, but we were like you know before we could drive, we were taking buses to Santa Rosa to get music and look for this obscure stuff, I hated the guys, just listening, CDC, induce priest, we're like Venza Gray, but there's so much more. You know right right, cassettes. I guess that sort of that sort of the starter kit right, ray idea. You guys we had moved beyond were like I've got this Metallica demo in the southern thing, and you know- and I just heard about this guy from Sweden and we'll wait- luck. This maybe get a fund talk about like, let's talk about subculture, starter kits, and these are the starter kids it. If you just have these he's probably annoy the real hard core fans colleague way, you just arrived. So what's it in the met. What's in the metal head starter kid, is it like that in black as OECD, see yeah yeah back, then I mean what
I hate it was. I was a big deaf, leopard fan, tilled the third record, and then the third record came out and Michael school loved it. We have as yet that's pyromaniac yet, and I was like fuck, you guys been turned on me and now the jobs we will go back to Springsteen Madonna stay away from death leopard because they went like mainstream totally languages. They weren't just metal hedge Madeleine's at my school. High and dry like I did, but then the next record pyromaniac just given the high school- and I remember at the beginning of the year as so door. I was still driving a ride in the school bus. I don't think my London, I wouldn't I money, but so I got my first car was given to me by my grandfather, not probably till I was a senior, I think some a junior out till still taken a school bus and
like bring a blue box on the bus, this issue, and I would play I played by Romania when it first came out and peace like turn that after that, often by the end of the year, everybody was wearing those union Jack teachers from pyromaniac. Just that's what really made the f. You already said, fuck you so is it about. What is it about fear? What is it about hard core phantom, because thing happened. Certainly, I think it's like anything where it's yours rang when you put in all the world and then people like it. But for the same reasons as you did it. You don't wanna, hear anything in common with NATO's people as part of a two year, but it's us like, like we like the simpsons at the inner when the Simpsons, whereas on what's what we say, what does and tracing omnibus hang out with these skateboard arise, and we love that and then like to
later everybody else's in the Simpsons and Saint Calabaca dude and we're like idiots lake. That's not You know what I mean like it's like a lot of things that that's could you have that had explained by you you know where you get in at that that bottom floor anybody else gets in later and then turn it doesn't get. Why they're into it, you know that's where the hit anchor comes from, because then I wondered at an early age of are we are in two. Are we to those things or are we just into like early adopter culture and then the second? It's not like an early adopt the thing anymore, then, is it that we don't like it. The thing that were chasing it's like like finding that sort of Anna Jones of POP culture thing right where you're you're going into the trenches in Europe. You know, Europe, your digging it up in your unearthing, this stuff than other people illegally
make any ever for that. I put all this work right, but then also because they like The obvious thing like I like his hair. You know like our citizens and our citizens fannys yellow, but they say you don't I mean the arrow or whatever it is. We are deaf leopard. It's like I like the lame song I like photograph or I, like you, know that the popular song and yeah river. Going to a one of the maybe too these I went to in high school and it was when I just. Doubt to allay and every time of two new city has removed a few times. I got to be what I would later refer to his car we'll city Milhouse or as a package that will make I gotta grace where people didn't know what a dork I was in, so I got that grace period where I could new and I stay quiet in the beginning. So then some of the cool kids ability come to this party, and then you know within
an hour, or so I was doings comedy beds are located near Bobcat gold waits album. You know right just doing people's bedroom, usin, evil, Phillips, jokes and they didn't want hearing right. They wanted to. You, know, get drunk and do drugs and of sexual each. So, but I remember looking at one of these parties when I first got to allay and deaf leopard came on and when I lived in Memphis Deaf Leopard was like hard core, like the people, They would write in pan like death, let on their non they're, not the fingers like the little knuckle, droughts and and his party the Herald. Football players and cheerleaders and they were drug sick and pour some sugar. I'm became almost go deaf leopard really and they were all singing pour some sugar on me at the top of their fuckin lungs and it confused the shit out of me, because I didn't know that that transit
had occurred right that day. The deaf elaborated now spilled over into especially by record. Yet that's the one after by Romania, that's hysteria and that one like it was all over by then I was in that way have your staff that I didn't even by their record, but by Romania was one that I bought and then went and then went me. I get went, turned rotten, think they're directed at Vienna, yeah it spoiled yeah whenever it, when other people got into it. I mean I guess it would almost like. I guess it would almost be like in you know it. A vicious had lived in the lady I have kept them started playing the sex been re like what the fuck is, that but they re an aid already had music turn on me. Like I talk about it in my book of like having a star wars, betrayed me. Lay or will actually no because the holiday special. I talk about in the book where the heart
special should have been. Our sign is like the older first level, nerds of star wars that got into it. You know at as eleven year olds than two years later. This piece is, she had come it's so misguided. So like the humorous terrible other Christmas measure of the hottest buds you stood still and urge to deny any auditor and introduce issued above a fat in the animated thing, but which is still so kick ass, but I remember being one of the first things like hey. This thing I like might not be perfect, but that's it, but now that you know that you're gonna, better sense of how things work yeah and easy to understand this space opera that no one thought was gonna, be anything all the sudden is one of the most war biggest worldwide phenomenon. The world ABC like we want that sectors like the right have you they didn't have the protocols in place because they didn't have nerds that
for them right there were like this is how you know to hire. Burial land should focus away from the outset this script, so they are, they really bring it tight teeth together like this, this is popular. So whatever these kids are dumb therefore, can give a shit some Yoda. Isn't it gets again. Raising Arizona, aware they go away. What what? What do you have on its pajama arrow? They were jammies in euros in shit autumn legs, yes, just like Yoda in Shit, which I think is kind of how first, how that stuff is pro I was was programmed- and I wonder if when they were making it, they were like, I don't know guys. I don't think this is great, adds fine, I'm shirk the Kasparov drunken phone it in hamlet, works wasted. Carry you nose out of her, I remind probably when she shot that I mean that barely and that experience must have so can you
imagine just because we all now are, as we all do a million things, and when little thing- and it's usually like the things that you don't you're, not really you know like. I just did the small little thing that blows up as opposed to the thing that you This is so important. You no answer Can you imagine like what that would feel like if all the sudden, just like little thing you did that you thought no one was ever going to see. Not only becomes one of them, these things in the world, but also defines you and other stuff. Can you man I ever thought about like? Would you want that kind of weird success? I dont know yeah both a break I think like Harrison, for it is the guy who still like, which I never did that thing. There do. You feel you interviewed him right. I've had a bit like a sense of lake. I was you're, not very sincere. I wasn't serious, I will say this sincerely- and I dont mean this as a joke, but there was a
I noticed in my experiences with him personally. There seem too dramatic difference. The line of demarcation was leaning his airplane on the golf course when he was in that plane crash that he walked away from the for that. He was a little like one of them come on? You know like we're here that that person ask him a question at the panel we're doing COMECON the year before two years before they go. What would you know what what sallow say. If you met Indiana Jones and he was like how you know here I could tell, but then, after that happens, when I do the Pennifer force awakens, he was general, we checked in, unlike moved and seems appreciate it, and so I wonder if there is just that sort of like he just kind of had that
oh wait! A minute. Slife is precious Eddie, I'm abies lucky that we get to do all these crazy things, yeah for sure you would think it would have come earlier than that. You don't. I takes crash landing email but can, but but honestly, our culture so different now, particularly with how phantom is dizzy out with an particularly how performers and We will respond to phantom because here was famous at a time when famous people were could be invisible, or untouchable, didn't really never tabloids, but not like now, right right, and so you know like that people who are super famous in the in the eighties any time before the nineties really work
well to live these sort of isolated alive right. So I don't know. I just wonder, like that's gonna fuck with your head right and I think he's just not a nerd, probably about anything I get the feeling was handled. Definitely a thousand percent Hamel like is so much more appreciative I think, of the nerd fame because he loves other things. Like I think he gets the obsession and I think maybe Harrison doesn't have that thing that is obsessed I like says and could never collected anything wherever you know when you in patent and Jerry dug in and blame to patch and all of us used to play dandy. The demand would show up sometimes like in and like a leather jacket and just knock on the door.
Kick your ass vulcan nerves, and then he would just leave or any threatened to do that all the time to like if he knew about the game, yeah come in by whose son and heir to that he was playing. Imagine if that guy got super famous because of a d and e thing right I reiterate: the guy's equity falconer, keep it down the girlfriends overrides. You know she d top off and you guys have broken ruin it. You know the gray that guy all the sudden, that's exactly there would have to be like dollar Dave hear. This Harrison Ford, have no real love in a relationship with the thing it's like. The thing did make you famous and gay, money and notoriety in a lot of things. You know, but at the same time it was a thing you didn't necessarily respect and then that's tat, dear identity and like his three biggest movies, are franchise. Valleys, red hair Harrison Ford's like his three biggest characters.
Like their characters they and their mainstays inert culture, all three of us yet and that must drive him crazy to if you already hate nerds and that I needed did another nerd. Thank God I give this guy had a, It has then nerdy a lady lay in his love em, where I get it he's just trying each time re. So then he just dovetails into the Tom Clancy Novels, no nerves are coming into these waters. We gotta be conservative. Nerds needs I mean I I guess I don't open, he hates nerds. I just wonder I just I don't know I might be building that up to but like there seems a little bit of these net. He and he never did like what Lucas dead or were you know, Shatner down there Miss Ashton, Ale, Sketch of lake, get a life you fuck Losers rang right right right, because Lucas definitely did that to us, but
You're you still carrying around no yeah he's gonna, be Is that as you're getting older still mad at that How do you explain? Okay, so here's what I want to know how this role is now nine roads is nine and he I assume he loves the same shit. You love yes, and it's been really hard with the prickles, because I am in the beginning he's little and I was like those I would love her grandmother. He loves now because I've I've totally pulled back on it yeah, and it took me talking Melanie. Two of you know who you know very well. Yes, my wife of her just going we'll talk, That is why we need to know that I felt
because there is like eight, you know my my stand up in my life. Is there the same? I you know, and I did a stand a bit about how the dose out those movies work and even be allowed in my house. But then you know you can't really stick to that and so then, once they were in and I sat down and now I've like moved back a couple of steps on like well The last two don't circus, much man, but you know what I mean is that I'm stall. Ninety that movie is a mess and it was really made for AIDS and then there's a lot of fires in it, and you know, George are being just one of them and I think that pod, race and so cartoon, just the tone, was so not what I wanted to see from the star wars, the instil isn't, but I think there are serious political and yes like eyes and becomes messy, and but there are some fun
There are some fun rabbit holds to go down, which I think would be great ways to bond with and you your kid or anyone's kid, but you know their fan theories, the charger banks, as that We have similar and re rain and then at e was actually a because there is like little he. I love those little things tat. Those are kind of fun, but before I signed. So I only saw others movie that four of the pre cause. I only saw phantom twice in a which is compared to me saying, empire two hundred times Rwanda, who knows right. Who knows this point? How many times have seen that movie, but I went. It came out. We speak in a pan we had taken.
See that movie in a week's in advance and it was coming out on a Friday and then a screening came up at once the little theatre here and silver, like the other, via the visit of the Vista, so was gonna, be it a vista on Thursday night so the night before patent as hey, let's go to the midnight screening and clarity of tickets for the next day and we go and we found king hated and we walk out we're stand in front of the Vista and, unlike cod, dominate tickets to see this noon tomorrow, and I went for a second time and the second time I'm just even though there is no joy in my body like this. When I waited in the first night at times like this is gonna be great, I know its not then. Now the second town like yeah, that's that Haiti last night, when that, first, when it came out
they'll do in a show at the Gypsy CAFE westward oh yeah, right across the street from those two theatres, the fox in the brewing in IRAN are performing for like a cop a week's people were I end up and camped out in front of the theatre death which I dont doesn't couldn't happen. More economical, don't disappointment, but that was like. We ass, So yes, that's the only two times saw that movie till my son got into them in. I never went back to them because I was so I hated them so much and then the other two I just saw once did you show him the films in the order in which they were in religious orders? No, originally I just showed him the originals I dont How we, I think it is getting o getting them. I'm Blu Ray had it. There was a box set a target once and it came with all sit,
and so then, once we had this other three in the house, that's how he got exposed eliminated it might have been an ear. I come home, you're fired I told you not to give up. This was in the lock box with the God. Don't let the baby seated precludes the guy. That's mine! Just keep away room episodes, wonder and shoot the prickles do you have to do you think we're in is there. It is a glut of star wars now or are you of the mindset of like no more the more star wars, the better you like, maybe too much in the morning, are the better as long as it's well done that I am not one of the guys I hated so I actually dug it and I was anti before it I've come way. I mean I've matured. A lot about minority as a part of it is when you see the hateful nerds on you know,
online, you just go, I don't wanna, be that dude. Maybe I was that dude. You know I remember being mad at like in not for racist reason, but like daredevil casting in a lake when kingpin was asked and now looking back on that, it's like I want to be that piece of shit who says no, that vigorous action, where the king pin ruin. I mean like any other. People letter you know, getting on line about that kind of stuff. It's like you can love that stuff, but the negativity is just made me go the other way: it's. Like you know, it's like in my act, two of pc culture of like people going Antium, pc culture on legal, I'm gonna go. The other way in Ireland have been so politically correct.
But you fuckers are really hate me, so so you're you're such a contrary and your guy yet always have. I wonder a phantom. Is you know I've been asking some of some friends with you think phantoms broken right now or do you think it's just now? I don't know anything. Because you go you go, I want Fannin to be inclusive. I even do a rant in my book of like of that, I'm going to hey look, you know this. Is these people, the people who really get obsessed over these things generally, it's because well for me that was my wife, my solace. That was my thing that was waiting for. At home. When I was going through like what I thought the worst days of my life in our junior, I in high school right and these people. They didn't understand this thing, but this thing was waiting for me and in embraced me whatever was common. Ex heavy metal, horror movies. All minority loves, whereas
sitting in my tiny room in my mom she apartment and evil. When my mom is fighting me, those things were waiting for me in that room and those are the things and understood me and welcomed me, and I think that's a nerd culture is so inclusive of like welcoming to like hey you. Can he be a fuck here I can barely form a sentence. So you know you know c d or ever whatever you whatever drew you do. This thing you're welcome. You can have one you can be seven feet tall and be fourteen as a whole right right, which is the way I in a right and you can be The ban whatever come in we'll take you so then for us to now go hey you shit heads.
Then a day like this thing anymore. All the groups that are both parties, like I feel like I've, earned that because I'd like this thing, I've been a nerd for forty years right. So I think I can go. Ok, you're welcome, but dude it is. It is interesting that thing down that a group that that forty thousand racist Yeah. I remember it just where to me that that a group that for a long time with so much hi is culturally, would then turn around and then start marginal that, like basically building fence, and telling everyone else to fuck off for me and my biggest, but I guess that you know like if there's trauma, and maybe it's just a defence mechanism, but still that's why I was you know when people say they go to piss you off. The comecon is about like so many, other things now than comics, and I'm like. I know because it welcomes some
People and people will have to be ashamed, and now we have big budget, Ossian movies and then go to Emerald City. If you just want to go to a car, if you want there's other cause, there's lie like two: if you just want to go to a comic book convention, there are them rice, you gotta seek them out in it and then you can COMECON has its own thing. I have friends, stop going and I've I've gone every year since immodest southern California, I've not missed one yeah yeah and in its change like you're, right, you're right and in maybe it's not and sometimes, but I don't know you make your fun yeah, I just like the community of it. I, like I like that. It's you know it's welcoming it's something that happens in real life, with a real experience and real people and its accepting and people can no and not have to feel weird like they can ruin and sort of be right in their comfort zone. Reich I'm into this that persons into that we can.
Find common ground as opposed to feeling like it's a one place where you don't have to feel like an outcast. If you're back in one hour town you live in. If there's only like for a view, heredity stuff in twenty five years ago, mostly guys they were like a wisdom, or women, their other higher than any in its you're, really complaining about things. Turning, Everyone can do everybody being this thing you're into yeah. What's goes back to me like I was mad about the leopard and everybody getting into so I guess I'm sort of a hypocrite but yeah Albert Debt, but it, but what I mean it. I've kind is really really Dickens actually Agora conventions that doesn't make any sense, I would repeat, but death leopard convention could sustain it out. We said, did you think so? Do you still isn't you still do listen to new metal, or do you still listen to just the old metal? I wasn't above and then with the carriage
being in the car. We try to really break it. Up like we were just listen, entrap request on the way up here so not all metal. All the time. I think I put that forward quickly. I think people think that that's all I listened to, but you know we like. We ve Smith's cross over yet, and I and like I love those bands and tat kind of stuff. I listened the metal heads that follow me if they ever with me in my car, like what I that Northern Ireland I have a secret stash of staff the day you know, but just to state just stay on brand. You know, but it's but I, like Deronda, ran a little more than most deeds and be comfortable with dude, the course Johnny any Taylor. You know that that was that there was a brick pop where they fuckin, where they basically like almost played base like illegally
that goes Beijing Shines and MR endurance onto fucking great in the queue girls at my school into that stuff. The girls that I saw at metal shows in San Francisco in the early eighties were fucking terrifying, like you, wanting to talk to some others. A girl at Slayer Show so fucking kill. Yeah like they look like richer Ramirez wearing a wig in this most of them back then now another thing like metal is totally Barnett to women to button. In the beginning, like the hard core metal, there were hardly any women it shows in. I have to know those I'm so curious, As you know, a lot of phantom comes from motives, You know what we're going through, what we're attaching or identity to, and the experience for you with Oh, I'm sure was a lot of like real, like legitimate axed and rage and feeling that and for road,
It's really just more entered an entertainment offer aid they go. This is this is a type of entertainment that you might enjoy because he's not like. What's your kid, gonna rebelled against Right now he's not, and now it's like he likes pant Eric as they say bad words, yet any likes metallic as their dark, yeah and he's like did. He just say death and That is a guy diet. I die and again he did or the first was Manny when ITALY, disguised did he. You say, look to the sky. It's the last time you well just before her lip to the sky just before he died last time. He will allow me, I guess that's what he said, because that's really dark gather pretty dark duties, doing better data milk. Shady words like any, gets that that's when a daddy's favorite I was never the
well dad of like forcing and on the kid- and I was never the guy that was gonna- have the Youtube video of the baby in the you're playing like them like supple tor, like some of them were really heavy stuff and having the baby head, bang ye. I never did and I dont want to be that dad. But I was played my music, but I just can't always wanted to Give him a foundation, so in the early days we were playing Sabbath in Asia. You see in the car and then With the Ramones in the clash in so he heard all of that, like it two years old, in the back seat and along the remains, and after you know, after singing iron man, that's fantastic, so that with Melanie too? She would never. Let me just be metal all the time you get something out of it, sovereign up with for the kid lemons, I know so much about softening up it's more about just being open other things, and just in that's what's hard, why make it up? I think that's what
for needs to do is to be open to other things, because so many get you know, like nerves, are very sensitive hypersensitive and can be hurt easily ray and opening up to other things means you know, risking that you might get hurt, and so it can, you know, did you grow up with other nerd friends, though a couple I was in when I grew up in member. I was in a lot of my nerves. Him really revolves around one teacher that I had, who was the math teams to high school, my teacher, but my school and in Memphis was cable, twelve and it was not. A lot of people was only right. I'm right if there were a thousand people there. I'd be surprised for this entire caper too. And this guy was the math teacher and he also had a bank of apple to e computers and any also ran the chess club so in the entire school of cape, your twelve,
there may be got it feels, like maybe eight kids, ten max, but that's ten spread across caper. Twelve right, so it's not like the high schoolers, really gonna hang out with me. So I was really just the people in the chest chess who were in my general age vicinity, which was like maybe three p Oh you know, and and so- and that was it that was it and everyone else in the school was very binary was like well you're, either a popular cater yuri sports person or your job Like one unrest, handful of you know, people who are just into these these things right here. My thing was so, solitary and till I met the two metal had friends the where we had that in common and then we also had other things like our humor kind of overlapped, We were in the latter men and we were they, the kids who were watching data, let its money, how to consistent like the I've people. Like one thing, there is then diagram sort,
Again, I would like this. You probably has only once you have money to meet again later when we also watch John Carpenter, the right yeah, but before that those guys before my two pals that I mentioned the book crop in Baden would just as there their last names if we still go by on post saying in their crop in Baden, but those were the guys that I was. I owe you like that. Why like that, but before that my nerd them was totally solitary, so I never pick marvel or DC in and when I was a kid I like STAR Trek as much as I like star wars that ran in own like yours, I gotta pick one, but nobody ever told me that nobody- and I didn't have a nerd friend that when oh you like both that's weird in like I liked my two favoured heroes, were Batman. Spider man for the since nine years old and it will now there- and there are many things in every direction that it's easy to its easy to set up tribalism right, but in those is most nerds, where, like I'm a marvel guy make my marvel
rail, and you would never read DC book. Why, over seventy before, like home video Red STAR where's was a movie thing STAR Trek was your tv, they re was innovation that UK wasn't yeah. It was just like any of this kind of stuff is all great cause. You know we didn't. We still have a lot of stuff. Yet the tribalism thing I don't know it. I really Its importance as it can be so difficult to really conversations online about stuff with people cause you're, just not really having conversations a lot of it right. So I really do think and that's why I loved that's why I think the India so great as it does force you to come to it forces you to be in a real world experience and interacting in forming a little community and having to you know, hang out with people right use to play Yes, I do the package. Yes, yes, yes, are you you're not on the same campaign for
how many this, why need has that you'd have to ass gentle offers are dm guys been r d him for a while. You know I didn't know that so God, where this one's thirty four hours in on this campaign or yeah last. One went about the same, so we I was, however, is a fantastic years. Good and but really loved Sark of when he was arguing when he started plan yeah- and you know my first podcast had him and then we replace he had had a kid and then so funny, when the deity like our dandy first broke up would like Pat and I got married, we stop playing India will? Actually, if you remember the first time our game got disrupted is because Sarka exert
a girlfriend lay and there we got mad at you, you got mad at him. I don't get dragged me into that shit. You got mad at him and we read engines aware and you were like what's up wrote like you got real you colleagues eyes, but also you're not going around to say you know me I get up. Do I will note the brain has turned bright red PS, already the aggressive thing, but the gas, however part makes me forget, like certain people now deal. No there was that there was, then you are lower there, that game, delete a game in around two thousand and three or two thousand and four, where we all set everything up. You guys came to my office like Patton unfolded all of his stuff. You took out figurines that everything alarm and send stuff from these can set everything up. We're about to play. He was like a guy, just so you know, I'm probably not going to be able to play much anymore because I got lagoons, works, double whatever and then proceeded to like pack up
Shouldn't leave and was like what the voters happens. The oh Heather there was a couple. Those I mean it's like an arrow instigating, absurd, gig and then like endued unpacked is based plugs it in sets up the pedals. Does this sound check and Ngos yeah this is? What an outward patenting acts every they gotta have him on him and make his race read about something. That is a thing to do. You can't abuse commit to you need to show up wreckers with one person. Doesn't shop a kind of wax it up for everybody, especially the dig him again, as I said, I'm glad tell for his regime grade is great. It's nerd poker in that's like what I mean. I was content that before it was a pod cast, like I said, a millennium gonna plainer oh tonight, and that's to me what it always was is, and we are
Is he then? Where are you know, but that was us making time to kind of cost me. It was less about the game and more about hanging with six friends and make you laugh and yet in doing this, the thing that not everybody gets yeah, but now India is bigger than its ever been damaged really cool. Did you see my Kyle Newman was part of a group that made this book called Dunstan, Dragons ART nor Canna, a visual history. Yeah it's thronging go rate. I know Joe Mandela. Yes, he did to the forward forward for peace, the most handsome. Heard two Everley met that oh, I know Joe the edge. I think I think, what's gonna happen, Sundays that he's going to slip in fallen is heads going to crack open is going those little tiny aliens like four men in black operating this tightened suit. Maurice the two normal size, Nerds Bermuda. Six,
five handsome man soon and then we added a heavier nervousness. Torso is all too or so less than earth. That's in there. He has no feet world tiny little fleet the book is really studying at it and it's sort of in you even even kind of getting that sort of the. Evolution from when it was when it just looked like it was when I haven't, I have actually seen it in my hands, but that book Oh yeah, I can't wait to get one day I was here in the house. Is traffic able by the book. It really is gorgeous that mean that when when they really did- but even when the sort of the charming like line are from the beginning was great because it just sort of it made. You feel like
I can draw like this. This rails like this was made for me and then it got bigger and then the archive like Insane, India and vibrant in and that's that's great, do and I love her de indeed draws a bunch of different types of people to a too there's the people that her into it for different reasons? Yeah, you know that our drawn war to the the math bitter You know the chances of it or or like you its that the role playing part die in others, all these different elements and and the like the seventies and eighties, it was this thing where either nerds played it or dirt bags played. Anyone in Europe as a kind of forgotten, but that's how I gotta, because I was working with the Durban kids record store. I know it's true. What do you think attracted the dirt bags? the madness of it in the thing that you know the rebelled,
in thing of like of people saying you know, comparing into the band kiss like kiss was, like knights and Satan service in the seventies write stuff on tv going. This is evil going. Oh shit, we're gonna play their yeah yeah because it is the nerd started it. Was all like new. You see Berkeley type guys in playing it originally, and then it was enow frowned upon by churches and I think, that's literally withdrew inter bags to it have a hook I'm not supposed to like that thing. That sounds fucking around upon. My idea is what churches not like would, but especially you think about even music. At that time I mean
Second, Leds Applin singing about talking. You know what I mean like oh yeah. That was really an early, let that was seventies though, but by the eightys. There was that that eighties, when so conservative, and especially on tv, if like right, you know there is Every news programme was telling my mom to tell me not to let me do the stuff. I was doing wrong. I mean, like all the programmes were to violent. Even in the early eighties. You know that went through. It seems like we have that, like every ten years of lake of things, you know because we got it again in the nice, would Manson Marilyn, Manson and stuff like that, but in the early eighties it was all this music that wasn't really brutal, like twisted sister, their goofy. You know these guys, like kiss band and they were like taken a cord of lake
you see the real right? If you really rather lyrics, you wouldn't be scared of them there. Also by phone. I that I was refineries is kind of thought of them is sort of like a bit of a satirical. The robots like it must be like charging. People, do you see be went right, you know for crimes again like what is there not the fucking around- one. They have a son called you're gonna burn in Hell. But but have you listen it's blue fee will that's what's a funny. Now I give its harder and harder because, when the rest of the sort of it with the rest of the entertainment sectors are like we really need to drill down in and make family friendly stuff. Video games are like hey, fuck just come over here, Meta Leggy, I feel like those days of there's just too many energy I think there are too many entertainment options. I feel overwhelmed most of the time, because this is impossible to keep up with anything right
I don't know- I don't think, there's too many cuz there's so many people there that I don't know, there's just so much stuff for all these people, and you know that you're not all into you know. I love that there's all these marvel and DC shows now, and I don't watch all of them, but I love that they all exist, I'm so late to the table and almost everything like I just finally watch season. Wanna Legion, oh yeah yeah, but I love that thing, and I love that it's out there in that it exists, but to be two and a half years to watch it, yet there is there so much of it woven in women. Choosing the chilling adventures of Sabrina, which is funny. I can't believe that can be good. I heard it's good. It's fun! It's fun at my only complaint as I just wish there was more magic in it, but there's that it, but it's all say tanning the thing is, I mean, result had one of the characters. The other major still needed to have. Turkey tell me not to watch it yeah, and then they refer to Christianity. Is that, as the group, the represents the false god and it's just pay
golly. Her kind of trying to establish yourself is half which half mortal church of Satan basically, and so there is some someone said the other day. So everything is like opposite. You know so, in some of the other day said on holy shit, which I thought was goofy and funny. So I did just a lot of you know it's right. It's never once river oh, but I heard it causes a spin off of that right it technically a spin off road from that world, it's from that were I Jeanette Universe, but it's on its on Netflix. Video not reveals unsuitable. Ok, so I buy Engine shows would have to touch at some point, cause Lydia, Watches, Riverdale and said this season is like all the sudden, just gotten supernatural, before was like a murder mystery and the season like there's like floating babies like within the first, because I got all this
it's just supernatural. They didn't really want to read the comics, but I know like jug at his gun that way or Archie. I think they ve done that with with those main characters like modern versions of those what they didn't like. They did that zombie run on in the arched calm again aware of it, but I never picked it up or at it. But my only the only weird thing: what we're thing to me about Riverdale. Is that its efforts, one, is stunning to look at every one of you, television it is, but even so like they made Miss Grundy was at her name, MRS Grunt the teacher, thinks and then in the conduct she's like a hundred years old and right she, but then she's like young and had an affair with one of the care turn in so that's like everything, that's all. We talk about my act now of the weirdest thing about last couple years. People complain about trumpet everything, but the weird thing for me is that I now finds demands aunt, attractive. Honey
of all things in life. That's one of the most confusing to me, like I hated it may is a teenager like she had ruined every issue. Is she came here like stay on Manhattan Menacings by Peter Van and no now she's, this woman, who I found a track since the nineties rather like you know, and the same with my hand. Ran like Diane laying his mind, can't my will, and now I want to fuck my can't park, can't dies. We can never do myself. I don't think automatically there's a lot of management. Sorry, Superman, fucking, your mom, yet again, you're married she's, not real, like a lot of things that I make this forego brine. Besides, you really
You know, Superman's Cimarron has a dark streak in him. Do you really want that's true? She really wow. Now that our does he has, but I just you know I don't I don't know if that's a road UNESCO They really want to go down. What are you excited? haven't a millennium leaving her first from I can't I can't let you They were just gonna role arising in February. I, like most things, ideas. It is because our aid we're your wife's great. I really love she'd have to be sure What is what is Melanie? Exposing roads to. Sweetness No, I mean she's, just sir she so good and caring and she's just been a great mom and but also musically,
she sings allowed and that he's he's become musical, mostly because her cause, I can't really do anything's. He placed the piano. Now that's been a big thing of hers of like giving him skill that he may one at nine years old red? But you know we know like Brennan Small, you know it is, and some of my other metal friends that learn to play the piano and learned. Music, that young age, so what's gonna happen if roads he gets this music bug any becomes like is like a singer, songwriter type, and then it's a lot of your computer farm. Near like are you? Are you can always Ryan, just like you'd visibly raised were hidden part of that one? Third of the variations of him rebelling jobs on yeah really enjoy area concert. Well, that's why I play paint era, so maybe he'll he'll do that, but then
you're beautiful either that or just push back yeah, that's the way is gonna Ribeiro is going conservative and a sublime and then another shitty food he'll. Be concert and somehow have adopted a soft british accidents. This next songs from my father, who really doesn't under and what I do, but I know he tries in his own way. Why does he have produced an excellent, the sovereign them up like a deserted made him into certain made him more? Do you know? Just I don't know just more of them singer songwriter guy, like that he would have to. He would have to just develop that. I write for these for these types of sound and in that situation, are you stand. After the side, like cheering them on, or do you do the like? I always germanic my mom for other people
there with her like as soon as I got into comedy, she was like all. Thank God. He's not going to murder anybody. She knows you weren't. She was like he found this thing like she went watch me see Eridu. It may be the third time onstage it was rough and she'll still remind me that it was rough. That's her piano, but but she also at the same time, was like this is great that you love this. It's more about and then make later on. She would be Canada, the stuff that I was more typical of hearing from her like what I don't get it right, but that's great that you but I wasn't even obsessed with the pet fact achieve like it. I was just more happy that she was like go ahead right and I'm a less worried there is this thing of lake. Because I was one of those kids. I didn't know what he was going to do and barely made it out. I score and
and then it was gonna Junior college and still don't know what I was doing. I wasn't living with her anymore because I fucked up so much there. Living with my grandfather in Sacramento, Workin, ETA, Mcdonald's and, like future, did not look bright up at aged, and then I was like. I love this thing. I'm gonna do this and then dropped at a junior college that I was barely enow shown up for anyone. Is only able to be on tv and movies that I'm a real programme, let by lady and we're gonna, have a child and then he's in then I'm gonna get paid to play dating back and make the fries stupid nerd, Amazingly the guys I worked with one of their bodies. I worked with at Mcdonald's, he was the guy was. I know you should do that like because I was the guy was and everybody laughed on, the fry line? I'm in the drive through an air Eric our view, thousands it now
not really no. I ain't gonna work to two and I worked at him. I took every like fast food job to get. Where the easiest and I in our new, just walk in and in a few to talk in complete sentences, are they would hire you immediately and made you know it? Barely let it like where you had worked before or call those places What is there a good Mcdonald secret revealed the people should know about. No, I in it and you would think that would have thrown me off ever poverty. In their food, but I still I still like no cause it is you when you weren't there, you get the feeling that it's all one thing gotcha in its it cause. It just comes to the store frozen in a box everything I think that's an old, I think there's an old city Martin bit about that were he's like there's just a vat of this stuff on it. Just spits out like she's my report prize.
Yes, yes, your change as yet, but actually it was that bit. Is your book out yet jars coming last Tuesday, congratulation MEG, you did you like writing it idea, but also stressed with so much work. You wrote one of you. I just wrote one Barodia had and I have a clear as the year of your life, for it took it actually with it to happen really fast. I wrote the first draft and three months and then I rode is fast and then I wrote because we had a deadline when they bought at their right. Ok, maybe we can turn it around for next year, so was like year from the time I sold it to when they released it, which meant I wrote it in three months and then I got the at its back and then I had to basically right it again, and that was in like a man so it was loudly I was under. I was under allotted. There was under the gun, My whole writing process took a year of lake. Think at the first draft was seven.
On seven or eight months and then rewriting the rest of the year butter. Yes, the most work, I've ever done on anything you know him and I still like looking at the reading caught. One reading copy that came out was like I've done to edit since then, but the one that's out now, the first it first edition there still like type in it. The dry me fuckin crazy, like I'm signing on the other day going, I'm sorry, it's not perfect, but it will in sixty thousand worry. I would ever eighty five. Eighty five thousand words have so few of them might be perfect right: twenty three, twenty four Who is the nurse if you can find more than twenty three typos? If you end up in the Marvel no prize, and so this book is essentially a memoir yeah. It's a lot of stuff. We talked about today, just growing up and like my old bit talked about you know you don't you
you're not born a nerd. You you nerd innocently, like you, become a nerd in its it's really that its tells that story is its call for ever nerdy in its just about it's my life, but it's also tightened earliness through the whole thing yet and these things are they found at ten and eleven years old, like you were saying earlier of lake, now I get paid for those you know. Almost everything that I like as a kid like horror, movies, ending up in devils rejection because of you, but you know things writing for dead pool and- and you know the way anything that I like to ten years old and I might even be in star wars, when weighing fully shared so and as if in the end, is a? U cant, confirm or deny that this might be a thing I can hear you hear your whispering, but but that's the one we're out and then, like mad magazine,
this really crazy of like- and it was never like- as a ten year old. I wasn't like I'm gonna. Do all these things. It was just like. I love these things and I can't I don't know what I'm gonna. Yeah. I feel the same way as european service to that kid and real all that stuff. Do you ever feel give you ever have those moments where you get frustrated with some. They are like via got a fucking await. This is mad magazine or this is this thing this is this. Is the thing I sometimes I believe I am lucky that I get too sometimes onsets, albeit the actors that that's mad, because he's been in his trailer for five hours right and has enacted yeah yeah. You know sometimes some days like that, because I've got so much outta my play to the I feel like I'm wasting my time, but but then the other parties like the fuckin trailer just walking
the same dumb shit is the dream of dream: yeah yeah those only times every once in a while, yet just important too a step back and always remember right. You know and that's a wives, or two is like enough remain. Knew that you be idea. I'm Lydia Lydia, that's right, but we're so, but you know as and though even though I feel like, I did raise some points that might have seemed negative, like about phantom being broken owner in general, you think it's an amazing time to be alive. Is we have you know a girl go me of amazed. Things, and you know it's just sometimes. We have to just take a step back and appreciate that. We are lucky, you know like people are living longer than ever before. We have a ton of incredible things that
Do we have an amazing technology? We can connect to pee role like we can. We don't have to feel isolated anymore. You know, like I, don't know it just it is a pretty, credible time to re alive, despite no there's a lot of shit that's going on, but if you can that out of the way for a second just sort of focus on these next twenty forty or these last twenty four year limit, if you gotta be allowed on such a bang whatsoever, you're gonna, be like legislative vacuum in the streets and yeah, just like just it'll it'll. Look like the liquor easier, be like all the zoo animal that hurried everyday use every day the pearl would be. And they were purge. The attributes of aids is what we want to hear
very kind, and that not only the most popular movie is basically just just like a regular. It's a movie about a couple who has a regular sit down dinner and no one than they can. Then they just appreciate each other, as opposed to you know, just like a mad max kind of a thing or two guys fuck you like fucking, a zebra while firing you know flame, throwers out about half or just not even his cool khazar other cars will been destroyed. I I guess is: this can be a dude DE warenne underwear with a dirty jirga, water. Just stabbing people like that's the last headstall has, alas, levels stay away from my water. That's where it ends up now. Are you nothing good YO, Pella helpful. Into the apartments. Would you survive first stages?
right away area, I probably at three more years Chris. I won't be here for that twenty four, the runner dammit you can't fucking guy in other years, as in people get over this package, we, like called it's called it. We have to at least for more years, but Bramble same your book is available everywhere, sir available. I would imagine the I've plugged wake the main places like Amazon and barns and noble, but builder you're, independent bookstore. I will just wander into pals in Portland, sometimes just for the smell of all those bookseller pose a rare book room. It's rather lonely. A certain number of people in at a time I have, I have been there buccaneer rates yet really cool yapping, there's just left up original,
sedition things and there was a guy that was working one day and he saw me- and you know it was a MR show guy and he is like hey you're, gonna love. This brought me and then there was crazy how cold up that stories, there. Are they doing more anymore? Mr show stuff the with Bob and Lydia without names we were I can about it, but I haven't heard lately. You know those guys are busy in its it's gonna be they're not when when they found window, that they can write together, and they were talking about now that crosses a kid of Bob going to New York, which he can now kiss his kids are out of the house I find is that because there has kidnapped to do MR show babies,
that is quite a week trying to make the baby jumped and ass it up to its neck. No, but we re talking about just so. He can be home of going to write air, for I, which we ve never done in an even they were talking about even producing a season over there. Just which would be great. I would leave and seen to do that for a month or two, and then you come back the ins and the impending Encina apocalypse. Now he s feeling there's an inn. You know apocalypse movie for you somewhere the odd we thought of like a red dawn in seed. It's a bunch of fair, goes defending like a cul de sac open.
In seeking that's right is like a metaphysical following declarations: there's Adela zero neighbourhood eager yeah. I think that would be great Branco saying. Thank you so much for that was brain foreseen. This episode, ten, sixteen of the eighty twenty podcast it's now time for word, salad, rap I'm guessing that if you listen to this project and that if you identify with it anyway, you might be in thinker, so I must sounds like a fox worthy bit If you leave a party and obsess about something you said to someone over the a cargo dip in you sit with it for two straight weeks: worrying that use
it's on the wrong and you run into that person again and they have no idea what you're talking about Kaji invented the whole thing in your head, you mad me and over thinker, who is everything It means well right. We want to cover every power, mobility- and I remember I was when I was good up. I was heavily. To just club very much into just club at a time when that was not a sexy thing to do. Thankfully, I think times have changed in the nineteen hundred navies was sent out. Very Was that a very good thing to do? I just loved it? I fucking loved chess. I loved the I loved the game of it. I loved the competition of it. I love them bored, I loved the pieces, and so I played every day before school during lunch to school and playing chess tournaments and dumb, but on the one hand,
get taught me to be very analytical, but, on the other hand, his supper distress myself out by over thinking the hundreds of possibilities, because at least the way I played I didn't I never played you know like I'm, going to use this opening in that move, and then gambit, I just played every game individually, and so what that meant was that, as I was thinking of moves I was trying to thank you? No ten. Twenty moves ahead for a variety of pieces and possibility so trying to basically gave me higher board in my head with each move, which course sir of roaming and very stressful, which is wise, very difficult for me to play now leisurely, because I just I have I feel like I have to think of possibility in every eventuality and be prepared for everything, and now it's good to be prepared. Obviously you know that
we want to think I had a little bit. We want to make sure that we're not you know just jump into a fire without really think about what we're doing. We want to give things consideration, but at what point are you basically rendering yourself? was ourselves inoperable piping for a position with too much overwhelming possibilities, many of which will never come to fruition, and so the thing about over thinking is that the good, the Good NEWS about it is that it means you're, an inventor, because you invent things, but you might be inventing a lot of case scenarios which will not only stress you out but again will likely never come to pass and even if you could, even if they did, even if you thought about it, Would you be prepared for it if it happened anyway? You know what I mean. Look. What was the reserve, which episode a doctor who was it, was something about? you know, aren't you worried about dying or something will ya
Why would I want to die twice? In other words, why would you want to go through the streets? now and then the thing later so, but the idea being an inventor means that you're a creative. This is the upside of being a creative if you're at over thinker. If you come up with scenarios or if you're in social situations, where you know you said something or you made some joker, you said something off handedly then, and then you sit with it. You invent, oh, my god, this person on the name it but they never back because they hate me. They hate me because I suck I'm just to be scrapped and everyone hates me- and I was just a bit stuff- oh my god, and the new Utopia post,
they're, like going, I resign yours on vacation. I really have access to your own Jesus. So don't let that become part of your ritual. Don't invent things. You know when you're kind of stirring in your head, when you're over thinking that I really do ask yourself out loud. Is this real? How realistic are these possibilities and made bending these two? I have enough empirical evidence that supports this narrative and, if I dont, maybe I'll just try to let it go into sort of release it into the either release it into the universe. And again, as I was saying
it because you are a creative type. The good news is that you can invent thing. So maybe you you know when you're kind of in those moments where your inventing horrible scenarios in your head, that your torturing yourself with you flip it and then you just go create something you invent something because you're inventing you're you're in inventing rods are firing at that point, several maybe use them for good use them for something constructive, just a little exercise, because if you can even start shaving down you're over thinking stress by a few percentage points at a time, then it will, I think, lead to more and less stressful internal interactions with yourself overtime anywhere, where you can just just cut off a little bit stress here, and there is worth it in my opinion, I am h o in my humble opinion,
and enjoy so good luck with that and don't be yourself up for being an over thinker, try to make sure there's not just part of a behavioral ritual that you have ends really really really work on turning, that's that those kind of inventive moments in two things that are constructive and don't build the hurdles in your add that are not supported with real evidence in reality, maybe sometimes you would be right, but most of the time you wouldn't be right with whatever your inventing in your head. So at these just give yourself the peace until you actually to deal with it. So there you go. That's it! I appreciate you. Thank you. So much for listener. Word: salad, wrap up. You have a wonderful day week whenever and again I'll be forming in Washington, Dc Chicago and then in New York.
