Welcome to another brand new episode
0:42
of All Fantasy Everything, the podcast
0:44
that fantasy drafts anything and
0:46
also everything from the world of pop
0:49
culture. On today's episode, we will be
0:51
drafting magazines, a topic that
0:53
surprisingly has eluded
0:55
us for 435 episodes. So
0:57
lucky number 436. Here we
0:59
go. Joining us today are
1:01
fabulous stand -up comedians, just all -around
1:03
talents and amazing friends, Katrina
1:05
Davis and Adam Cate and
1:07
Holland. I'm Sean Jordan. Joining
1:09
us as always, Mr. David
1:11
Borey, Ian Carmel, firmly
1:14
planted in Bolivia, writing
1:16
his memoir. You think that's what he's doing? Yeah,
1:18
yeah, yeah. What's in that memoir? The
1:21
other one. What's the other? Anyway. You can
1:23
double memoir. Anyway,
1:27
everybody can talk. We're in. I
1:29
don't know why we still do this. We used
1:31
to do that soft intro and then switch and do
1:33
a different intro. And now we just do that and
1:36
then say. We're in and everybody
1:38
can start talking. It's nice. It's
1:40
just unlock the gates. Everybody
1:42
come. Everybody get in here. We're
1:44
clamoring. We're clamoring to get
1:46
some audio time. Open season. You
1:48
all did make me think that Ian
1:50
does dress like a memoir a lot
1:53
now. Like he just constantly.
1:55
He's into jazz, which is memoirish.
1:57
He just got real into
1:59
jazz. Did he? Is it memoirish? I
2:01
think so. I feel like his hats
2:03
are memoirish these days. The
2:05
only. The only jazz memoir I
2:07
ever read was kind of terrifying. Yeah,
2:10
I bet. I read Miles
2:12
Davis' memoir. I was like, was
2:14
it horrible and as in
2:16
lots of heroin? I mean, he
2:18
was going for it. What
2:20
I learned from that memoir is
2:22
some motherfuckers just can't play. Is
2:26
that the name of the memoir?
2:28
Yeah, basically. Some motherfucker is just him
2:30
talking shit about everybody he's playing
2:32
with. Yeah. A lot of him being
2:34
very cavalier about very historic times.
2:36
I don't know. I used to just
2:38
go down there. I was high.
2:40
I was playing. And you're like, cool.
2:43
Just Miles not fully grasping the
2:45
magnitude. That's how it felt. That's how
2:48
a lot of it felt. Yeah. I
2:51
love that. You don't want Miles Davis being
2:53
like, and then I showed up and I
2:55
was fucking mastermind again. I like, he's like, I
2:57
don't know. I was just doing my thing.
2:59
That's true. You also don't, I find with like
3:02
a lot of that stuff, you don't want
3:04
him. I love a cavalier genius. You don't
3:06
want him nervous. You don't want him to be
3:08
like, I was so scared. Yeah. Yeah. You
3:10
want him to be like, I just had
3:12
sex, finished a cigarette and then record it. And
3:14
that's pretty fun. I like my jazz musicians
3:16
with a dirty dick. That's how I like it.
3:18
Yeah, yeah. And black lungs. Sounded like he
3:20
was smoking during the sex. What?
3:22
It sounded like he was smoking during the
3:24
sex the way you said it. Just had
3:27
sex, finish my cigarette. Did they used to
3:29
do that? I, okay. Can I be,
3:31
can I be crass for a second? Oh boy.
3:33
I've always wanted, and I don't even smoke weed.
3:35
I've always wanted to take a hit off a
3:37
blunt while I'm having sex. While you're doing it.
3:39
Yeah. I feel like you
3:41
can do it. I feel like you can do it.
3:43
I feel like that's an achievable goal. It is. I
3:45
know. People have sexual fetishes that they're never going to
3:48
reach. I feel like you might be. in the house,
3:50
so we got to do it in the yard, and
3:52
that'll be the tough sell. That'll
3:56
be the tough sell. All right. You're
3:59
a dad. Get yourself a tent, my
4:01
man. That's what I think. Sean has
4:03
some romantic camp set up all of
4:05
a sudden. She thinks it's
4:07
because of their anniversary. It's because he wants
4:09
to smoke a blunt while he's in
4:11
it. Smoke a blunt while he pumps. Why
4:14
is there a bottle of Jameson here? Because
4:16
I want to do it all. If I'm
4:19
doing it once, I don't win. I'm going
4:21
to get this chance again. Well, that was
4:23
all I thought was... Smoking a blunt is
4:25
such a sleepy activity to do while you're
4:27
like, you know, getting your heart going. Yeah.
4:29
Hey, good and evil. Flame Boy and Wet
4:31
Willie. Is
4:33
that what you say during sex? The
4:36
front end of the blunt. You got
4:38
initiative at that point. You're
4:40
setting out to have fun. Back end lazy.
4:42
Boy, yeah, I'm not going to do the end
4:44
of it. Are you lighting it and then
4:46
starting or are you starting and then lighting? In
4:48
my mind, we're already going. Can
4:51
you just grab it? It's
4:54
lit. It's
4:57
off screen. It's lit. Getting
4:59
the spark going. This is
5:01
where it gets complicated because now the tent's on
5:03
fire. You might need a buddy to hand it
5:05
to you outside the tent. You reach your hand
5:07
out. Not getting the lighter working
5:09
would be tough on that. I'm
5:11
not sold on this tent idea. I think more
5:14
of a blank in the yard. I
5:16
ran with the tent idea. $300, $400
5:18
Zippo, I think, is what I'm going to
5:20
invest in. Is that how much that
5:22
costs? A good one, probably. Aren't
5:24
Zippos kind of pricey? I
5:27
don't know. I remember seeing dudes with
5:29
Zippos when I was like 20 and
5:31
they were the dude. That's a cool
5:33
guy. I was going to say my
5:35
friend got her boyfriend one in high
5:37
school and it was like a very
5:39
cool thing for him to have. Yeah.
5:42
They would just light them. Just be lighting
5:44
them. You know, they'd like flick it, light
5:46
it, flick the thing and you're like wasting
5:48
so much. Fluid. Like a butterfly
5:50
knife that's on fire, you know?
5:52
I knew I'll share one pack of
5:54
cigarettes a week. Yes. Dude, I
5:56
knew a kid, now I realize, was
5:58
in junior high school who had
6:00
a Zippo that was his dad's in
6:02
NOM, and it had tick marks
6:04
for every day that he had been
6:06
in NOM. I got
6:08
news for you. Those are bodies, dude.
6:10
That's not. That's
6:13
a body count on the side of that. His
6:17
dad was an assassin.
6:19
It definitely was. That
6:21
makes sense why his dad was so quiet at that
6:23
point, because I met the guy. He didn't have a lot
6:25
to say. Oh, my goodness.
6:27
Yeah. Nom dads are real. Yeah.
6:30
He did ask if I was VC, which
6:32
I think was weird at the time. Yeah, yeah,
6:34
yeah, yeah. Venture capitalist,
6:36
though. He was looking for a startup.
6:38
Yeah, he had a Zippo company. He
6:43
was reselling exotic Zippos. So,
6:46
yeah, let's just go. Let's go
6:49
around the table. Katrina. Katrina Davis joining
6:51
us at Katrina Savad on Instagram.
6:53
Am I correct? Yeah. Across all platforms,
6:55
I assume? Yep. All the same.
6:57
It's just Davis backwards. Yeah.
6:59
Yeah. Trickster. God damn it. Where
7:02
can you point the people? What's
7:04
going on? Um, I have a Father's
7:06
Day show coming up at Union
7:08
Hall. If you live in New York,
7:10
it's going to be like comedy
7:13
and illustrations. You can come with your
7:15
dad. You can come if you
7:17
hate your dad. You can come like
7:19
if you're trying to forgive your
7:21
dad. It's like all different kinds of
7:23
because it's kind of about like
7:26
me being just like who used to
7:28
be my least favorite parent and
7:30
then us kind of becoming low key
7:32
best friends. Because we've been the
7:34
same person the whole time. So, yeah,
7:36
I'm really excited to do it.
7:39
And that's like, and then I'll be
7:41
in Colorado and Boulder also at
7:43
the end of June. Is
7:46
your dad's name Spoon? No.
7:49
Why did I think that? Because
7:52
I, because
7:54
there's a viral clip where he,
7:56
I used to carry around a
7:58
spoon when I was little. And
8:01
he used to yell about it because he
8:03
did not like it because it was very weird.
8:05
And he used to just say, I ain't
8:07
gonna have my child carrying around no spoon. And
8:09
his friend calls me Spoonie because I used
8:11
to carry around the spoon. And then
8:13
the... clip is just everyone calling
8:15
me autistic underneath. It's pretty cool. That's
8:18
the only reason you probably saw
8:20
it. Internet is fun. A bunch of
8:22
those fathers that you're trying to...
8:24
a weird anecdote that I brought that
8:26
was incorrect. I was like, oh
8:28
yeah, Katrina's dad, Spoon. No, I'm Spoon
8:30
-y. That's very funny. I mean, I
8:32
knew a dude named Spoon and
8:34
he was... He was sketchy, so it's
8:36
all right. No, I don't think
8:39
they just hand that name out. Yeah,
8:41
no. Yeah, I don't think I
8:43
would know my dad as well as I do if
8:45
he was Spoonie. Spoonie
8:48
didn't stick around. I would have
8:50
heard tell that he was at
8:52
one point named Spoonie as I
8:54
try to imagine his face in
8:56
my head. Right, right. Spoonie
8:59
is a name people say and then take a drag
9:01
of their cigarette. Spoon?
9:04
You Spoonie's kid? I don't want
9:06
anyone to know I'm Spoonie's kid because
9:08
they're looking for money and I
9:10
don't have it. Yes. Spoon came
9:12
through here once. Spoonie
9:16
is a rolling stone. For
9:18
sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just
9:21
getting cigarettes and you just got a note
9:23
like Spoon couldn't make it. I'm picking him up
9:25
for him. Hey, if he stuck around,
9:27
they would have called him Fork. Let's
9:30
go. Yeah,
9:32
go check that out. Union Hall. How
9:34
is Union Hall? Man, that place is dope,
9:36
right? It's awesome. It's just like a
9:38
nice little basement and they have like people
9:40
upstairs playing bocce ball. Is that the
9:42
fan game? People get
9:44
intense. I
9:46
had a little phase. It's a
9:48
good game. Yeah? Yeah, it's a
9:50
good game. It's fun. I mean,
9:52
it's, you know. That and horseshoes
9:55
are two of my favorite outside
9:57
games. They're fairly even. You
9:59
can be all right at horseshoes
10:01
or bocce without having played a ton
10:03
of horseshoes and bocce. Okay. You
10:05
get lucky. You know what I mean?
10:08
Yeah. I mean, Sean, you're pretty
10:10
athletic. I think you downplay it, but I
10:12
think you're probably better than me. You're pretty athletic.
10:15
Well, David, thank you so much. was a nice...
10:17
I don't even know what to say. I'm shook.
10:19
I appreciate it. You want me to go back?
10:21
Fuck you. Speaking
10:24
of fuck you, also joining
10:26
us, Adam, Kate and Holland.
10:28
What is it on Instagram,
10:30
dude? Adam fucking you Holland.
10:32
No, Kate and Holland
10:34
on Instagram, right? Yeah. Kate and Holland.
10:36
No hyphen. C -A -Y -T -O -N -H -O -L -L
10:38
-A -N -G. Can I ask, was that
10:40
a U -Haul joke? I don't know
10:42
what it was, man. I tried being, I
10:44
tried being aggressive for a minute. It didn't take
10:46
them. I didn't even hear it. I was
10:49
focusing on the spelling of my name. I didn't
10:51
even listen. I couldn't, I tuned it out.
10:53
You know, our daughter is, she's starting to learn
10:55
like words and not quite how to spell,
10:57
but kind of how to spell. And I realized
10:59
I couldn't spell my middle name until I
11:01
was like nine. It's Patrick. I, is that late?
11:04
Yes. Yes. Not early for your old
11:06
name. I think it's. Because
11:09
I think you heard your own name
11:11
before you actually could spell. My four -year -old
11:13
can spell his middle name. Yeah,
11:16
but his middle name is C. Yeah, but his
11:18
middle name is an X. We just have to make
11:21
his mark. Are
11:23
all those documents he has to sign?
11:25
Oh, dog, I'm taking out loans on number
11:27
two. That's smart. That's
11:29
smart. Your homie is in debt.
11:33
But he's got four LCs. You
11:36
like this car? It's yours. Get in the back. Happy
11:39
18th birthday, homie. You're going to find out
11:41
a lot of secrets. I got you a
11:43
flat tummy tea company. Yeah. I'm going to
11:45
go have lunch with Spoon while you read
11:47
this document. Let
11:50
me know what you think. If
11:52
you're feeling froggy, let me know. Anyway, CH, where can
11:54
the people find you? What do you got? Point them
11:56
towards stuff. Guys, I got a new spesh. It's on
11:58
my YouTube. It's called 20 years
12:00
in comedy. And all I got
12:02
was this lousy special. And I filmed
12:04
it at the dive bar called
12:06
the lion's lair where I started. And
12:08
so it was very fun. It's
12:10
a cool, interesting looking special. I love
12:12
it. It's up on YouTube right
12:15
now. So check it out. And then
12:17
I also wanted to plug, listen,
12:19
AFV's got clout everywhere, but I know
12:21
you've got heavy Portland, Oregon clout.
12:23
So I'd like to start sounding the
12:25
fucking drum for May 22nd. I'm
12:27
headlining helium. I want Portland out
12:29
there. I got Derek Sheen opening for me.
12:31
Adam Posse's on the show. Maybe Sean
12:33
Jordan drops in, does a set. Who knows?
12:35
Portland 522 Helium. Love to see you
12:37
there. Let's do it. Let's get it. Also,
12:39
I was there. Not a lousy special.
12:41
I saw it. And I watched it. Can
12:43
concur. Also not lousy at all. I
12:45
very much enjoyed it. Yeah. Bory opened for
12:47
me and gave me the sweetest intro
12:49
ever. And it made me all in my
12:51
fields right before I had to get
12:53
on stage and tape. It was so nice
12:55
though. And we have that clipped up
12:57
and I'm going to release it someday to
12:59
destroy you on the internet. That's okay.
13:02
I meant it, man. That was a big
13:04
deal for me. Anyways, it was really
13:06
sweet. It gave me a lovely heartfelt introduction
13:08
and it was a nice moment. So
13:10
yeah, the specials on YouTube now, check it
13:12
out y 'all. That's rad. Isn't that rad
13:14
when you get like a legit, no
13:16
shade on like your run of the mill
13:18
intro, but like when somebody really, when
13:20
it's from the heart, it makes you feel
13:22
so good right before you go up.
13:24
And it kind of, for me anyways, makes
13:26
me realize this is all fun. This
13:28
is supposed to be fun why we do
13:30
this and we shouldn't get like terrified
13:32
or like super consumed with. you know
13:34
what I mean? Like how many people see it. It's
13:36
just the fact that we get to do it. It's
13:38
so dope. And so that, I don't know. Sorry for
13:40
getting all emotional. No, you're right. You're right. You forget
13:43
about like what it all means. And this was like
13:45
a nostalgia special, 20 years in comedy, blah, blah, blah.
13:47
But in your head, you're just like, whatever, Bory's funny.
13:49
I'd love to have him open. He'll rip it open.
13:51
It'd be great. And then he like hits you with
13:53
like, Oh wait, here's what my relationship to you means.
13:55
And I was like, God damn. And it was, it
13:57
was a lovely, sweet moment. It was a great night.
13:59
Yeah, man. It was fun. I like a bad intro.
14:02
Yeah. When they fuck
14:04
it up, they're like, this guy. I
14:06
think he was on Last Comic
14:08
Standing. David Gorby. David
14:11
Gorby. We were
14:13
joking about that before you got on, dude. People
14:15
say I'm on Netflix all the time. Never, never
14:17
even sniffed it. They're like, but this guy's from
14:19
Netflix. And I'm like, if you want to advertise
14:21
that, that's your ass. Like, I don't, I don't
14:23
know what you're talking about. Sometimes they do know
14:25
they're lying and they just don't care. Because I've
14:27
been like, I'm not on. And they're like, I
14:30
don't. I don't give a shit. like,
14:32
oh, okay. They're like, they're doing
14:34
you a favor? Yes, absolutely. This
14:36
guy was at the White House Correspondents Dinner,
14:38
and you're like, bro, from
14:40
Keenan and Kel, Adam Keaton
14:42
calling. Like, what?
14:45
I had a guy. say the wrong name
14:47
after my set the other night, but
14:49
I know which Black woman he thought I
14:51
was. Oh, no. So, like, he said
14:54
the right name going up, but then afterwards,
14:56
he was like, give it up for
14:58
not me, everybody. And so I told that
15:00
girl, I messaged her, was like, yo,
15:02
you had a good set last night, just
15:04
so you know. And she went, oh,
15:06
my gosh, I've gotten drinks because they think
15:08
that I'm another Black female comic in
15:10
New York, and so now I just want
15:12
one of them to be called Katrina.
15:15
That's my goal now. Shout out to your
15:17
black alt comedy doppelganger. Yes. We
15:19
all got them. Yup. Yeah.
15:23
I don't have that problem. There's
15:26
only one of me. When
15:28
Sean does black rooms, they think he's Gary Owens. So
15:30
that happens too. Yeah. Just the other day, they were
15:32
like, give it up for Janelle Monae. And I was
15:34
like, I don't even need to do the standup. Not
15:37
again. So like someone
15:39
asked for credit and then you'll give them one and then they'll
15:41
forget it. And then they'll kind of get mad at you. because
15:43
they forgot I'll be like I don't know
15:46
you've seen him I don't know who gives
15:48
a shit you'd like one of those and
15:50
you're like yeah yeah and it's like this
15:52
is you I would say whatever you want
15:54
man what do you want for an intro
15:56
whatever you want whatever just say he's a
15:58
funny guy man yeah exactly the guy the
16:00
people because now it's like the people who
16:02
came for me know who it is and
16:04
the people who don't are going to figure
16:06
it out I don't That
16:08
credit thing. I don't think I've
16:10
never seen audience be like,
16:12
I've never seen two girls both
16:14
on their phones in the
16:16
front row be like, oh, wait,
16:18
Comedy Central. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah.
16:22
I'm going to talk through the first
16:24
five minutes of myself. need to leave him
16:26
anymore or whatever they're talking about. I
16:28
don't know. Now, that man that wants to
16:30
be called a funny guy, David Borey,
16:32
cool guy jokes, 87 on Instagram. What's
16:35
what's happening? Playboy? You were just
16:37
in LA. How'd it go? It was
16:39
fun. I saw some friends. Got
16:41
up at the store I saw. Got
16:43
up at the store. In tribute
16:45
to Dark Sean, I went. I
16:48
saw Alec Flynn, saw some people, had
16:50
a good time. Oh, Alec, huh? Aggressive
16:52
little dickhead. Isaac, cut this out. You
16:58
can find me at patreon.com
17:00
backslash David Bore. Purchase my
17:02
special April 25th and 26th.
17:04
I am going to be
17:06
in Dallas at the Dallas
17:09
Comedy Club. Come to that
17:11
June 15th. I'm going to
17:13
be at Littlefield in Brooklyn,
17:15
New York. It would be
17:17
fun if you came to
17:19
that. And then, you know,
17:21
just. Yeah,
17:27
yeah. Exactly. Yay,
17:29
Littlefield. going to come see you.
17:31
It's going to be fun. Yeah, dude. How long are you going
17:33
to be in New York? Just
17:35
like a day or two, I think. I
17:37
don't know. More than two, three days.
17:39
Really, that place stresses me out. Me and
17:41
you last time were there, brother. The
17:44
rhythm of the city. I
17:46
need you to move through
17:49
with me. It's too much
17:51
for me just to have any time
17:53
in that city. I just want
17:55
to do it all. So it's like
17:57
you're there for like two, three
17:59
days and you don't think about distances
18:01
because you live in Colorado. So
18:03
you're like, yeah, I can go to
18:05
Brooklyn at two, Manhattan at three
18:07
and be back in Brooklyn at five.
18:09
Take a little nap real quick.
18:12
I can see everyone that I love
18:14
in this giant city. Then you
18:16
try to like make it work with
18:18
a lift and you're like $400
18:20
to cross a bridge. Dog. So
18:23
I guess I just didn't make any money this trip.
18:25
Okay. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool. No, no, no. Let's
18:27
go to a diner. Going across
18:29
Manhattan. I would see people every light, every
18:31
single light. I'd see the same people walking that
18:33
we just went past and I'm sitting in
18:35
it just watching it tick up. And you're like,
18:37
I could just get out and walk fast.
18:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Dope,
18:42
man. Also, I'm Sean Jordan. Sean
18:45
Krugmel and Jordan on Instagram. And
18:47
come see us in New Orleans. So
18:49
an announcement. The New Orleans. You
18:51
have to get a full weekend pass to get
18:54
into the AFEs in New Orleans. The day passes
18:56
don't get you in to the AFEs. And
18:58
I think they fixed the verbiage on the
19:00
website, which I assume anyone who's coming in
19:02
from out of town is buying a weekend
19:04
pass anyways. So just be clear on what
19:06
you're buying. If you have any questions, absolutely
19:08
feel free to DM me. I'll answer every
19:10
single one of them, I promise. But
19:12
yeah, come see us in New Orleans. We
19:15
got the merch kicking. It's going to be dope.
19:17
there's talks of like a band. I mean, come on.
19:19
I don't, I don't even, I don't even want
19:21
to get bucket hats. We do got bucket hats. Spoon
19:25
Davis is dropping in. Spoon's
19:28
driving up from Jacksonville. Spoon will
19:30
be skimming off the top of
19:32
those bucket hats. Please be sure.
19:34
If he tells you 25 they
19:36
are 20, do not listen to
19:38
him. Do not buy merch directly
19:40
from Spoon. Just like every other
19:42
live show. He rolls up in
19:45
one of our bucket hats. Hey, Sean, here's that
19:47
blunt you wanted. Just
19:49
winks. I
19:51
heard you got a plan. -shirts say AFD.
19:55
Spoon, this has
19:57
got one sleeve, motherfucker. One sleeve. Spoon,
20:00
when you get hot. Yeah,
20:04
I think I started doing this show called
20:06
It's Nice to Be Nice. If you want to
20:08
listen to more stuff from me, it's on
20:10
Patreon. It's free. It's just a podcast I've been
20:13
doing with my buds about nice things that
20:15
have happened to them. There's a lot of negative
20:17
stuff. And this is just a nice one.
20:19
Dave was on it with our friend Helen. That'll
20:21
be coming out a couple of weeks. So
20:23
if you want to go on Patreon, it's free
20:25
to subscribe to. Otherwise, you
20:27
can get them on wherever, anywhere the podcasts
20:29
are. But, you know, keep listening to
20:31
this. I'm just saying if you want some
20:33
positivity, that's what I've figured out that
20:35
I'm good at. So I started talking to
20:37
people about it. And other than that,
20:39
I think buy Ian's book. Watch his special
20:41
Comfort Beyond God's Foresight. Get it up
20:44
to 100 ,000 views. If it's not yet,
20:46
get it up there. Yeah,
20:48
that's the shit. You guys ready to
20:50
get into it? You ready to draft magazines?
20:53
Let's play the game. This is why
20:55
I woke up today. That
20:58
in your family, right? You just say that
21:00
to your kids? They know. They know. I got
21:02
them out the door. I got them to
21:04
school. There was love, but that was not the
21:06
focus of today. Oh, that's right.
21:08
Kids are in school. That feeling of getting...
21:10
Max ain't in school yet, but she's in
21:12
preschool and daycare, but that feeling of getting
21:14
her secure in the area. You're like, all
21:16
right, the gate's locked. She's in there. I'm
21:18
out for a few hours. It's a freedom
21:20
that I never knew existed before kids. I
21:22
never because you just kind of have it.
21:24
You know, most of the time you just
21:26
have that loose adult freedom unless you're at
21:28
work or something. And when you get that
21:30
kid, well, you get them locked away. I
21:32
got to tell you one quick thing because
21:34
it's insane. My youngest and the oldest, they
21:36
go to the same school. Oldest is in
21:38
kindergarten. He's the top of the school. That's
21:40
as far as it goes. No problem. Off
21:42
to class. Youngest still has some trepidation at
21:44
the gate. A lot of kids do whatever.
21:47
It's hard to get them there. It's never
21:49
a guarantee. So all the kids get dropped
21:51
off at the gate. He has imposed his
21:53
will to the point that I now have
21:55
to take him into the playground to the
21:57
top of a little hill that they play
21:59
on and walk him to the top of
22:01
the hill where he gives me a hug
22:03
goodbye. And then he will say
22:05
farewell without any fight. All the other kids
22:07
wait at the gate and he's like, go
22:09
to the fucking top of the hill where
22:11
everyone can see me. We hug it out.
22:13
And then I'll say goodbye to you. Yeah,
22:15
but then you walk away and he turns
22:17
around and he goes, can you dig it?
22:19
He's just talking to the whole playground. He's
22:22
flexing hard on dad and the school.
22:24
That's what I was going to say. He
22:26
makes you pride rock every day. Yeah,
22:28
that's what I was thinking. And
22:31
I just shrug at the principal and she's like,
22:33
do your fucking thing. Everybody else is at the
22:35
gate. Behold
22:44
the love of my father.
22:46
He's just like bragging. That's
22:48
a good way to start your day though. Yeah.
22:51
Yeah. Pretty good idea. not
22:54
what I do to Maxine. I push
22:56
her out. The swisher's in my hand almost
22:58
lit. I'm just fucking... Behold my seed.
23:00
There's probably a little piss in his undies
23:02
right now. It's all good. It'll
23:04
dry by the time he gets in there. All
23:09
right, magazines. What do I do now? I forget. Do
23:11
we take a break or do we do rock, paper, scissors?
23:14
Rock, paper, scissors. All right, so determine the order
23:16
of the draft. The order of
23:18
the draft, rather, will be determined by a
23:20
rollicking game of rock, paper, scissors played
23:22
between the three of you. Now, ready? Yes.
23:25
We're going to go on shoot. Ready? Rock,
23:27
paper, scissors, shoot. Oh,
23:30
no way. Three. Wow, cool.
23:33
Let's go again. Rock, paper,
23:35
scissors, shoot. Oh,
23:37
no way. This is what happened on
23:39
tour. This happened on tour every week. Rock,
23:41
paper, scissors, shoot. Katrina
23:44
got it. Katrina wins a natural victory.
23:46
The paper slicing or the scissors slicing
23:48
both pieces of paper. Now,
23:50
Katrina, it is incumbent upon you to
23:53
determine the order of the draft. Before you
23:55
do that, I will remind you. I'm
23:57
doing all right. It is a serpentine draft.
23:59
And what is that? It is like
24:01
the motion of the tide day in and
24:03
day out on this lovely planet of
24:05
ours. Oh, that's beautiful. Hey, I thought when
24:08
I was like, man, it took me
24:10
a while to think of this one. But
24:12
thank you. Now, with that being said,
24:14
we arrive on this planet. Have you seen
24:16
Mufasa? They try to do it again.
24:18
They try to do... I saw Mufasa. I
24:20
thought it was a Moo Mesa. Meow.
24:26
Yeah. I've only
24:28
seen the most ridiculous part over
24:30
and over again. And I don't
24:32
know if I could take it
24:34
seriously because of that. It's tough.
24:37
The like brother part when he's like, don't
24:39
talk about my brother. Like that's all
24:41
that plays in my head. And I'm like,
24:43
I don't think I could take this version
24:45
seriously. I try not to
24:47
be a Disney childhood snob, but
24:49
I do feel like the songs
24:51
were better in ours. They were.
24:53
They were. They're classics in ours.
24:55
The only recent one that has
24:57
classics, correct me if I'm out
24:59
of line here, is Moana. Yeah,
25:02
and then they dropped the ball
25:04
with Moana, too. They said, we
25:06
don't need Lin -Manuel. And he's
25:08
like, you don't fucking need me?
25:10
And everyone hates Moana. That's all
25:12
they needed. That shit was a
25:14
bummer. The second one? Yeah, it's
25:16
tough. It's tough. Because the first
25:19
one was crazy. The music is...
25:21
Best song since The Lion King,
25:23
right? They made The Rock good
25:25
on the one. It rivals the
25:27
Bodyguard soundtrack for what it does
25:29
to me. a crazy two movies
25:31
to compare. I'm
25:33
talking the soundtracks. For
25:35
any reason. Walk
25:37
up to a stranger like, tell... do you think?
25:40
I think the bodyguard Moana have in common. Be
25:43
honest. Better soundtrack. Moana or the bodyguard.
25:45
They're like eyes go crossed. They can't even.
25:47
Why would you do this to me? I mean,
25:50
the bodyguard is the best soundtrack ever, but
25:52
Moana is real close. Anyway, basically what
25:54
it means if you pick fourth in the first
25:56
round, you pick first in the second round. Now,
25:58
with that in mind, Katrina, what will the order?
26:00
Oh, I'm going to take notes. What will the
26:02
order of today's draft be? I
26:05
think I can I go first?
26:07
I think I'm going to go first.
26:09
Go first. And then David and
26:11
then Adam. Okay. And then Sean,
26:13
hot corner. Before we
26:15
do get into it, Katrina, are
26:17
you wearing that Seinfeld anime shirt?
26:19
I am. It was marketed to
26:21
me on Instagram as well. Okay. Nice
26:24
to see you in a
26:26
while. I say no to 99
26:29
% of what they shoved down
26:31
my throat on that website. This
26:34
shirt got me. And it's a pretty solid
26:36
print. So I regret nothing. They get me
26:38
every now and again. Probably like once a
26:40
month they get me. I got a Doc
26:43
Holliday shirt. Doc Holliday shirt the other day.
26:45
I was like, yep. It's, you
26:47
know, there's a reason they're targeted. I don't care
26:49
if I don't like them. I skip through them.
26:51
I really don't care. Shop now. Don't mind if
26:53
I do. Don't mind if I do. There's one
26:55
right now that keeps coming at me. It's Milhouse,
26:57
but it's like. Bauhaus, like Millhouse. And I'm like,
26:59
I really, I almost want to click on it
27:01
every time. But that's like, I know every dude
27:04
that looks like me is going to have it
27:06
and I can't do it. But Millhouse doesn't get
27:08
a lot of play. Graphic T wise. Or
27:11
just physically. Yeah,
27:13
true. Yeah, I don't think he was lighting
27:15
any blunts, if you know what I mean. He
27:19
was holding Bart's blunt outside the
27:21
tent waiting for the right moment. Definitely.
27:24
Melhouse meets a girl at the library,
27:26
comes home, and Bart's like, well, Melhouse,
27:28
why don't you wait outside? I'm going
27:30
to handle it. Help me achieve this
27:32
sexual dream I've always had. Sean watched
27:35
that happen. Yeah, that was so specific.
27:37
It happened to me a couple times.
27:39
Yeah. Yo,
27:42
okay, I'm sorry, buddy. I was that kid
27:44
when I was younger. I was the one that,
27:46
like, didn't, yeah. I love this insane frame
27:48
of reference we've gotten to. Hey, dog, you don't
27:50
want to be the millhouse holding Bart's blunt
27:52
while he's fucking in the tent. Don't be that
27:54
millhouse. What the
27:56
fuck are you talking about? kind
28:00
of dorky Joe Rogan podcast is
28:02
this? Don't be so be in the
28:04
millhouse, dude. Wait, what? I don't
28:06
know what this means. Bart's an alpha.
28:11
Glasses lower your testosterone, dude. Everybody knows that.
28:13
I've heard that. I've heard that. All
28:16
right. With that being said, the order settled.
28:18
Katrina, you'll be going first in the
28:20
magazine's draft before we get to that first
28:22
pick. A short break. This

episode of All Fantasy Everything, the podcast you
30:07
are listening to, is brought to you by Babbel.
30:10
You say you're getting a new language, learn
30:12
a new language every single year. All of
30:14
us do. I say it all the time. I
30:16
always get grumpy because everyone in the world
30:18
knows a different language and I don't. Well, if
30:20
this is your year, Babbel makes it easy
30:22
for you to learn one in less time than
30:24
you think. Much less time than you think. Another
30:27
thing, if you want to go on
30:29
vacation, a language barrier is, I don't want
30:32
to say a deterrent for me, but
30:34
it's like, you know, scary. I want to
30:36
go somewhere where I can communicate so
30:38
people don't think that I'm, you know, just
30:40
some leech just trying to have a
30:42
coffee in a different country. I want to
30:44
communicate. I want to hang out. I
30:46
want to ask where cool things are. I
30:48
want people to think I'm in the
30:50
know. I want to think I'm cool. And
30:53
learning a new language is just such
30:55
an easy pathway to discovering. new
30:57
cultures. You get the hidden gems when
30:59
you go somewhere. When you travel, you
31:01
get to actually talk to people, and
31:03
Babbel can help you out. They have
31:05
quick 10 -minute sessions handcrafted by over 200
31:07
language experts, and they're going to get
31:09
you speaking a new language in three
31:11
weeks or at whatever pace you choose.
31:13
Honestly, you can do it fast. You
31:15
can do it slow. For your boy,
31:17
a 10 -minute lesson is perfect. I
31:19
don't have a ton of... attention span,
31:21
if you will. So it's nice having
31:24
a quick lesson. And Babbel makes it
31:26
so easy. They walk you right through
31:28
it. They have on the app, they
31:30
have where you can listen so you
31:32
can try to understand the language. You
31:34
can speak in and they'll tell you
31:36
what you're doing wrong, tell you the
31:38
proper way to say things. It's just,
31:40
it's very... It's very helpful, like actually
31:42
helpful. It's not just going through the
31:44
motions. It's actually getting you communicating. And
31:46
if you need proof that Babbel gets
31:48
you talking, studies from Yale, Michigan State,
31:50
other leading universities continue to prove Babbel
31:52
works. One study found that using Babbel
31:54
for 15 hours is equivalent to a
31:56
full semester at college. I wish somebody
31:59
would have told me that in college.
32:01
Holy cow, that would have saved me
32:03
a lot of money. So give it
32:05
a try. Let's get more of you

Everything already in progress. uh
32:27
spark that blunt Katrina what do you
32:29
got what's that what's that first magazine you
32:31
gotta figure out what that means to
32:33
you I don't know every time we do
32:35
one every time we record an episode
32:37
I'm like what a therapy therapy or you
32:39
like you'll give me a look every
32:41
time we record an episode you feel that
32:43
way sometimes I mean there's just you
32:45
should listen to that voice Sean yeah a
32:47
of stuff knocking around in there it's
32:49
worth it I don't got time um I'm
32:51
trying to pick. I have been
32:54
very strategic about this list. I'll explain
32:56
myself more later. Okay.
32:58
For number one, I'm going to
33:00
go with zoo books. Because
33:04
I loved zoo books when I
33:06
was little. I loved anything to
33:08
do with animals and facts. And
33:10
one time I was at the
33:12
beach with this lady that used
33:14
to watch me. Shout out. Miss
33:17
Debra, I love her so much.
33:19
And her daughter was like messing
33:21
with this thing on the beach
33:23
and she thought it was a
33:25
balloon. And I was like, don't
33:27
touch it. It's a man of
33:29
war. And no one knew
33:31
what I was talking about because I was
33:33
like nine. Like I shouldn't have known. And
33:35
she did it. You know, an adult like
33:38
doesn't fully believe you, but is like does
33:40
what you say just in case. Like I
33:42
could tell that she was like, you're talking
33:44
nonsense. But she also told her to stop
33:46
playing with it. And then the next day
33:48
I brought in my zoo book and it
33:50
was like Portuguese man of war. And it's
33:52
this like giant like. jellyfish
33:54
basically, but the balloon on the top looks
33:57
like the sail that they used to
33:59
use on like Portuguese warships. And
34:01
I was, I've always been very
34:03
proud of my animal knowledge, saving
34:05
that little girl, at least some
34:07
kind of gnarly sting. But yeah,
34:09
I freaking loved Zoo Books, man.
34:12
The commercial was sick. I think
34:14
that I thought Manowar was a
34:16
band until just now. I
34:19
don't know what, I don't know what Manowar is.
34:21
It probably is a band too, I bet. It is,
34:23
it is. They're in an old skate video, but
34:25
is it man, is it one word? Portugal
34:28
the man? A war. I'm
34:30
talking about a band called, there's a band
34:32
called Man of War, I'm pretty sure. Oh,
34:34
okay, okay, that I did not know. I
34:37
don't know what a man of war. I
34:39
know what it is. What is it? It's
34:41
just a it's a type of jellyfish, but
34:43
their venom is like way more intense. And
34:45
they have the they like float through the
34:47
current with the balloon on top and their
34:49
tentacles are extra long. So they just catch
34:51
stuff and then like bring it back up
34:53
to the balloon and eat it. I'm glad
34:55
I don't know what that is. It is
34:57
a band. Holy cow. It's a band for
34:59
sure. But those things are gnarly. Are they
35:01
around? She found
35:03
one. That's the only one I ever saw
35:06
in Florida, and I have no idea how
35:08
far that thing must have floated. But
35:10
I don't know where
35:12
their natural habitat is. That's
35:15
a real zoo books win for
35:17
you. That's like an ad for
35:19
zoo books. You saved the girl's
35:21
life. I had zoo books. I
35:23
had straight -up index cards. I
35:25
had multiple. Different things
35:27
that just like had just animals and
35:29
facts. And I would just like fan
35:32
through everything. That's what was that.
35:34
That was like currency when you were a kid, though.
35:36
I love that shit. Just like that. And then
35:38
they have like the rainbow title on Zoo Books, too.
35:40
I was going to say it was so vibrant.
35:42
Like they were all like different rainbow colors. And I
35:44
think they all focused on one specific animal. And
35:46
there was like 12 of them or something. They were
35:48
sick, though. Yeah. They're still around.
35:50
My kids got them. Yeah. Really? There's
35:52
tons of them. Yeah, every animal's got
35:54
a zoo book. Oh, my gosh. That
35:56
makes me so happy. Here's the thing.
35:58
I listen to podcasts about animals that
36:00
are technically made for children. I might
36:02
re -up on zoo books. Oh,
36:06
man. I just Googled it. That
36:08
orangutans app was a classic. Yeah,
36:10
dude. Zoo book orangutans. That brought
36:12
back a lot of memories. I
36:15
was getting a little upset the
36:17
other day that it's not orangutan.
36:19
You're right. That is a very
36:21
memorable photo. Yeah. Heck
36:23
yeah. So yeah, that's my first pick.
36:25
Love it. Hell yeah. Zoo books off the
36:27
board and I have the notes. Trust
36:29
me, I know who's next, but I don't
36:31
need to look at them. I'm going
36:34
to David. David, what's your
36:36
first pick for the magazine draft?
36:38
I got to take a magazine
36:40
that's been through with me throughout
36:42
my life. Only magazine I actually
36:44
have right now in print. I
36:46
still order it to my house. directly.
36:49
I read facts from it at night
36:51
while my girlfriend is falling asleep. I
36:54
can't show its work. I'm taking
36:56
National Geographic, man. I knew that
36:58
was going to go. I wrote
37:00
it down before you said it.
37:02
It's like, you know what?
37:04
I feel like it's one of
37:06
those ones that you don't have to
37:09
read. Like the reading only enhances
37:11
it. Right. So as a kid, I
37:13
would really just look at all
37:15
the pictures. Yeah, I was a man.
37:17
I look at all the pictures
37:19
and read some of the articles and
37:21
it's just as entertaining. It's always
37:23
great. It's it's just it's it's so
37:26
good. The pictures are beautiful. Yeah,
37:28
they have interesting. It's just it's an
37:30
awesome fucking. There's no beat
37:32
in the pictures. I am genuinely curious, boy,
37:34
because I haven't read one ever. Probably is
37:36
the writing good. Like the writing is as
37:38
good as photography. Yeah, because I
37:40
mean, they have the National Geographic
37:42
Society. It's like. It's very in depth.
37:45
And then, you know, every episode
37:47
like this one, I wrote a joke
37:49
about AI because of this. Yeah. You
37:52
know what I mean? It's it's yeah, it's
37:54
real. It's like the writing's better, I think,
37:56
than you ever thought because the pictures are
37:58
so good. But I mean, come on. Yeah,
38:00
it's unreal. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's
38:03
awesome. It is. And you don't
38:05
feel like a like a loser if
38:07
you crack that somewhere. And it's
38:09
like, it's iconic, that yellow cover. You
38:12
know it from across the room. It's
38:14
a more, well, I know it's more than
38:17
just animals, but it's like adult zoo books. Like
38:19
I was thinking of zoo books, but I
38:21
should probably just get on National Geographic. You
38:23
could have two magazines. You
38:25
know what I love about it?
38:27
There's no through line. Everybody's
38:30
cracked and not geo. You
38:33
know what I'm saying? Everybody can
38:35
get these hands in that
38:37
Gio. Every single person. Everybody's
38:39
gotten into one. And I love that. Like,
38:41
magazines so often are, like, selling, like, a
38:43
culture or something. Yeah, yeah. And that Gio's
38:45
like, you just want to see some mountains
38:47
and then a weird pig? Yeah,
38:50
we got you. I love it. I
38:52
love it so much. And then, like,
38:54
a woman on an island living a
38:56
life you could only dream of. Yeah,
38:59
that was for the tweens. Here, Peruvian
39:01
people painted blue. They've never seen a
39:03
fucking cell phone. Exactly. They thought my
39:05
camera flash was the devil for weeks.
39:07
Right, right. Two guys died.
39:09
Two guys died for this photo. Some
39:11
kind of ancient Oaxacan street festival. We
39:13
got it all. Yeah, man. We got
39:15
it. It's so fun. We had those
39:17
in our, like. extended studies class where
39:20
they let the smart kids go to
39:22
a different science and it felt very
39:24
mature because they let us see titties.
39:26
It was like, you're allowed to look
39:28
at the National Geographic. Don't get weird.
39:30
You guys can handle this. You
39:33
had to prove that you were mature enough
39:35
to handle the reading corner with the National
39:37
Geographic in there. When
39:40
do you think
39:42
the first issue?
39:46
That was my good kid, Mad City. What? When do you
39:48
think the first issue was released? Let's do a little
39:50
Wits and Wages. 1895.
39:53
I mean, I'm going to trust Bory on that
39:55
one. I was going to say, you said
39:57
that so definitively. I was going to say like
39:59
1902 or something. I'll go $1. I'll go
40:01
$1. Bro,
40:04
I would have said
40:06
deep in the 1900s. It
40:08
was September 22nd, 1888.
40:10
Whoa! I didn't know we
40:12
even had... don't know, people could read in 1888.
40:14
Lewis and Clark are on the cover of the
40:16
first one. That's so
40:19
old. A lot couldn't. A lot
40:21
of people couldn't read. That's crazy.
40:23
Yeah, it's a society. I just
40:25
started to preserve, I don't know,
40:27
nature. just had no frame of
40:29
what's going on. I had no
40:31
frame of time, I guess. But
40:33
yeah, anyway. Also, fun fact
40:35
that doesn't have anything to do with
40:37
anything. The current editor, his name is Nathan
40:39
Lump. Oh. What
40:42
if they just let Nathan Lund
40:44
have a year at the helm of
40:46
Nat Geo? Brother, I would be
40:48
all in. A
40:50
lot of features on wrestling. A lot of features
40:52
on wrestling. Yeah,
40:55
people don't know they need that, but they
40:57
do. Chevelle on the cover, that'd be great. Just
40:59
a double spread on luchadores. Like, okay, I
41:01
guess. January's
41:04
wrestlers again. They're going back.
41:06
They're going back. Okay. All right.
41:09
Yeah, Nat Geo, fantastic. ACH, what do you
41:12
got? First pick. Look, I get everybody's
41:14
going to say I'm pretentious. People are going
41:16
to say, duh, this is the cliche
41:18
pick. But I got to go with the
41:20
magazine. I still get The New Yorker.
41:22
I have The Physical New Yorker in my
41:24
house. And it's also been with me
41:27
my whole life. I remember my parents getting
41:29
it. I remember opening it up, reading
41:31
the cartoons, going through and reading the
41:33
cartoons and being like, these are funny. That's
41:35
too sophisticated. I don't understand. But
41:37
like now I fucking I devour that
41:40
magazine every week. I rip from
41:42
start to finish. I've been I've
41:44
been rejected by that magazine a baker's
41:46
dozen times and I'm still going
41:48
for it. I'm a crack it someday.
41:50
Yeah. But I got to. Yeah,
41:52
man. I am religious with that magazine.
41:55
No, it's a classy man. I
41:57
like. Do people not like
41:59
the union? You'd have to be, you'd have
42:01
to be wild to be like, nah,
42:03
I'm not a New Yorker guy. I remember
42:05
a Simpsons gag. So it's just perfect
42:07
though. It's like Homer opening up the mail
42:09
and he's like, Oh, another rejection letter
42:12
from the New Yorker subscription department. Like they're
42:14
not good enough to get it. That's
42:16
pretty funny, man. It is a sophisticated. That's
42:19
what I was going to say. I feel
42:21
like people only try to talk shit about the
42:23
New Yorker in a way that they're trying
42:25
to show that they're elevated, that they're like, they're
42:27
so good that I can tell the nuance
42:29
that the New Yorker is not that cool. Right,
42:31
right, right, right. I also like I think
42:33
every kid who doesn't live in New York, I'm
42:35
watching it with my boys. They're like New
42:38
York, New York City. That's just like a place
42:40
that you it looms large in your imagination.
42:42
And so this magazine for me has always been
42:44
like, well, what's going on in New York?
42:46
Even now. When I go to New York a
42:48
fair amount, I like to read like what's
42:50
going on in town. I like to see events
42:52
and shit going on around New York. It's
42:54
just it's a real window into that as well.
42:56
So I dig it. No, that's an awesome
42:59
pick. That's a great pick. I don't even think
43:01
we had a copy of that in South
43:03
Dakota when I was a kid. Oh, it's banned.
43:05
I mean, yeah, I don't. They
43:08
cut that out real quick. Maybe if they accidentally
43:10
put a gun on the cover, one would have
43:12
snuck into a Barnes and Noble or something. But
43:15
I don't ever remember seeing it
43:17
when I was a kid. It's so
43:19
interesting to think about. Like, never,
43:21
ever, ever did I see that. Can
43:23
I be a snob? There's a
43:25
section called Shouts and Murmurs. That's their
43:27
humor section. And I've been rejected
43:29
from it many, many times. I heard
43:31
a Baker's dozen. It is dog
43:33
shit. They're Shouts and Murmurs. They're one
43:35
humor page. is so not fucking
43:37
funny. It's maybe every once in a
43:39
while, every 10th one will be
43:41
funny. But every week they put one
43:43
out and it's like awful. McSweeney's
43:45
is funnier. size and Snickers. Yeah,
43:47
it's bad. Shouts and murmurs
43:50
sucks. Everything else is fucking great.
43:53
We gotta get you in there. We
43:55
gotta get you in there. It's just
43:57
like dumbass humor writing. It's like, okay, it's
43:59
like whatever's going on that week. you
44:01
know, like here are the stocks that
44:04
I sold before Trump tank stock market.
44:06
And it'll just be like funny, fake
44:08
stocks. It just sucks. It's, it's not,
44:10
it's bad. It's always bad. They're all
44:12
fake stocks to me. I don't know.
44:14
Well, if anybody's listening, we got a
44:16
guy who can overhaul it. Yeah. I
44:19
think you could do it. He can,
44:21
he could over Holland it. I'm public.
44:23
I'm publishing McSweeney's. That's a funnier humor
44:25
outlet. Let me at that. Let me
44:27
have shouts and murmurs. I got a
44:30
book. Yeah, you can't be the only
44:32
New Yorker reader that wants more from
44:34
shouts and murmurs. And I'm telling you,
44:36
every 10th one, you're like, there you
44:38
go. Simon Rich or fucking Megan and
44:40
Ram or something like that. Yeah, these
44:42
are funny. But you should start a
44:45
grassroots campaign. Sam T would agree
44:47
with me. We've talked about this. Shouts and
44:49
murmurs fucking sucks. Hey, Sam wants to light
44:51
the world on fire. You should start a
44:53
grassroots campaign. This is your Donald
44:55
for Spider -Man. Yes.
44:59
All right. Yeah. Any New Yorker
45:01
listeners out there, hit them up. Get me on. Get
45:03
me in that shit. All right. Did I
45:06
write that down? I sure did. All right. So
45:08
here I am at the hot corner. My first
45:10
pick, I'm going to take it back to when
45:12
I was a child as well. This
45:14
was first magazine I remember ever
45:16
getting. I'm going to go with
45:18
Highlights Magazine. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
45:20
Big Highlights. That's up there with
45:22
Zoo Books, I feel like. For
45:24
iconic covers. And they
45:26
still, I should have looked it up,
45:28
but I'm pretty sure they're still around. They
45:31
are. I just remember, yeah, I
45:33
just, I want to get them for our
45:35
daughter. I should look into that. But
45:37
they were just so fun. Like, just the
45:39
first thing, I would just go to
45:41
the, like, find the hidden whatever page. Yeah,
45:43
that's what I was thinking, too. Got
45:45
me through all the early dentist office visits.
45:47
Bro, I've been rejected from highlights of
45:49
Baker's Dungeon Times. Don't get
45:51
me started on their shit. Don't get me started
45:53
on their dumb shit. Speaking
45:56
of highlights and their humor,
45:58
I love highlights as an adult
46:01
because if you ever go
46:03
to the doctor's office with my
46:05
mom and read those jokes
46:07
out loud, she will still ball
46:09
laughing. Like highlights crushes with
46:12
her for some reason. And she
46:14
also doesn't know why. Like
46:16
she. Like, you'll be like, oh,
46:18
what's a balloon's least favorite
46:20
kind of music? Pop. And she
46:23
has to leave the, like,
46:25
she will, like, be so
46:27
overwhelmed she can barely catch her breath. And I'm
46:29
like, why do you think this is so
46:31
funny? She's like, I don't know. Like, I know
46:33
it's stupid. But, like, Highlights
46:35
fucks my mom up. I love that. If
46:37
you go to the doctors with my
46:40
mom, she'll take that magazine home. Do
46:43
you remember taking pages out of phone books? Did you ever do that
46:45
at a phone booth? Where you're like, I'm just going to take this
46:47
page. You never did that. That's a total movie
46:50
move. They're like, all right, grab this out of the
46:52
phone book and tuck it in your back. Were you a
46:54
hitman? You
46:56
never were a hitman. You are
46:58
until you're not. There you go.
47:00
Okay. But then when you're
47:02
not, you were. That's fine. They hit at
47:04
the doctor's office because the older I get, the
47:06
more tension I have when I go there. Like
47:08
if they're going to give me a prostate
47:10
exam. You got to get
47:12
some Boofus and Gallon and you
47:14
take the edge off. goddamn funny when
47:17
you're all nervous. It's the funniest
47:19
thing I've ever heard. Yeah, Highlights,
47:21
man. Just because I
47:23
looked it up. First
47:25
issue printed June 1946.
47:28
So right after WWT, the big one,
47:30
we decided to get into Highlights magazine.
47:32
Highlights and Zoo Books are both great
47:34
because they capture that school book sale
47:36
energy, which is kind of like classes
47:38
out. You're the first time maybe you
47:40
got a little bit of money your
47:42
parents gave you and they're like, it's
47:44
all educational. Go buy shit, young man.
47:46
Here's your first opportunity. And there's like
47:48
a freedom to that. That's very exciting.
47:50
Man, I wasted on a bunch of
47:52
erasers. Yeah, totally. Once
47:54
I get I'm going to get one
47:57
pen for my dad and a pad
47:59
for my mom. after that. I'm
48:01
ripping this shit up. Sideways
48:04
stories from Wayside School. Here I
48:06
come. There you go. Garfield,
48:09
those Garfield books. I remember the long lengthy
48:11
ones. Oh, those were good. You know what
48:13
I liked when I was a kid was
48:15
those Calvin and Hobbes books, which now you're
48:17
like, those are Calvin and Hobbes at the
48:20
book fair, though, was always too rich for
48:22
my blood because they had those big, thick,
48:24
sexy ones that were like $20. I was
48:26
like, OK, what are we doing here? It's
48:28
a proper tome. I'm going
48:30
to buy all those now. I'm
48:32
glad we did this. Yeah, you
48:34
can. They still do the book fair,
48:36
which, yeah. Good. All
48:40
right. For my second pick, I'm
48:42
going to go. Gosh,
48:45
I don't want to sound like a
48:47
loser here. I'll
48:50
go Rolling Stone. Oh,
48:52
that's a cool one. That's a good one. We
48:54
still got it. They still got it casual. It
48:57
always, I mean, the covers, I'm not splitting the
48:59
item, but like the covers jump out all the
49:01
time. I may or may not
49:03
be thinking of a very specific one. Jessica
49:05
Alba. Which one? Janet
49:07
Jackson. Oh, yeah. I
49:09
was going to say, there's a
49:11
lot of hot lady ones. Jessica Alba,
49:14
is that what she said, David?
49:16
Yeah. But the Janet Jackson one is
49:18
seminal. It was very influential. That
49:20
was huge. the Janet Jackson one with
49:22
everyone else's hands? 100%. No,
49:24
it's two hands. Oh, it's just
49:26
one. It's one man. It's one
49:28
man. It's the photographer. It was
49:30
crazy to be like, no, they
49:33
can't do that. They're showing it. It's happening.
49:35
Anyway, but yeah, just Saturday. It just like
49:37
it jumps out, you know, when like your
49:39
little like thumbing through magazines, it made me
49:41
feel cool for the first time. It was
49:43
just one of those. And people fairly candid
49:45
in the interviews because it's Rolling Stone. I
49:47
like that. You know what's funny about Rolling
49:49
Stone? One of the few magazines that I
49:51
will still buy for a plane trip. Like
49:53
if I'm in the airport and somebody's on
49:55
the cover. I'll be like, fuck it, I'll
49:58
buy a Rolling Stone because now it's like
50:00
on an airplane, it's like you're done by
50:02
the time you land. But I'm like, yeah,
50:04
I'll still I'll still buy it every now
50:06
and again. Mm hmm. OK. Come out knowing
50:08
everything about Billie Eilish. Boy just gets off
50:10
the plane. It's like, let's I want to
50:12
talk about Billie Eilish. Yeah. So
50:14
nobody. Nobody cares. Just
50:16
sitting at the bar. Are you guys talking about Billie Eilish? That's
50:21
cocaine, right, guys? When
50:23
I maybe 12, 13, 14 at
50:25
supermarket, my mom would be shopping and
50:27
I would just post up in
50:30
the magazines and rip through a Rolling
50:32
Stone. Just like all that shit.
50:34
And it felt like access to cool
50:36
culture. It was like ripping to
50:38
show you. Tell your friends later. Like
50:40
I knew about it. It's like
50:42
pre -internet, too. Like I'm downloading this
50:45
stuff. Yes, exactly. You
50:47
know, it's fun. It's like not the Jennifer
50:49
Aniston from Friends, you know? You're like, she says,
50:51
fuck in the interview. Holy cow. That
50:53
was a cover that I remember getting as
50:55
well, my man. Jennifer Aniston is like a very
50:57
much a butt shot. I remember going to
51:00
like a 7 -Eleven. It was like the height
51:02
of Friends. And I was like, I'm getting this
51:04
one. I'm purchasing
51:06
this day of. I
51:08
love that you all have a formative. boner
51:11
Rolling Stone cover. I don't have
51:13
one. You gotta get one, Katrina. Oh,
51:16
you mean Nirvana didn't do it for you?
51:18
That's only one magazine that there's a formative,
51:20
but there's tons of formative boners. list is
51:22
about to crack open here. Yeah, somebody's gonna
51:24
bust this thing wide open. That's a great
51:26
point though, Sean. A lot of the guys
51:28
that I did like during that age were
51:30
in fact dirty and sad. So it wouldn't
51:32
have been quite as hot. It was more
51:35
like, oh, the guy from Silver Chair is
51:37
sad. I can fix him. You're
51:41
going to wait till that boy. Wait
51:44
till tomorrow. I used
51:46
to listen to that song so heavy before middle
51:48
school. Yes. I love it. I still it's still
51:50
probably once a month creeps its way in silver
51:52
chair. If you guys haven't messed with silver chair
51:54
in a minute, listen to open fire and get
51:56
real sad after this. I can't wait. Oh, yeah.
51:59
Happy Monday. All
52:01
righty. Adam,
52:03
Kate and Holland, fresh off you. The New
52:05
Yorker pick you. Yeah. Well, I took
52:08
it. I took it academic and now I'm
52:10
ready to get. Down in the dirt. Not
52:13
that much the dirt. Sports Illustrated.
52:15
I'm surprised it's still out there. Oh,
52:17
yeah. Sports Illustrated is a real
52:19
winner. Required reading. Required
52:21
reading. And it's kind of a,
52:23
you know, it shoots on two
52:25
barrels. There's like the great sports
52:28
writing. There's everything you want about
52:30
sports. But then once a year,
52:32
there's the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition
52:34
to horny young bucks pre -internet. A
52:36
real moment. Every year, a real
52:38
moment that we all stopped and
52:40
took stock of what was going
52:43
on with our burgeoning manhood. You
52:45
know what was awesome about Sports
52:47
Illustrated besides the bikinis as well?
52:49
Wasn't it like weekly? It was
52:51
weekly. So it would be like
52:53
a magazine. I remember during
52:55
study hall in high school that you could
52:58
get what you could you could always read
53:00
a new Sports Illustrated if you went to
53:02
the library. never old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because
53:04
it was every week. They also
53:06
fucked around and had Sports Illustrated for kids, which
53:08
I think is kind of the gateway drug. You
53:10
know, not as great a swimsuit
53:13
issue, but, like, I appreciated it. I
53:15
don't like it. Listen,
53:20
I was their age as well.
53:22
It's not creepy. It's a lateral
53:24
move. All
53:27
right, Isaac, isolate this part so we
53:29
can frame Adam whenever we want to.
53:32
It's not fucking creepy, guys. It's a lateral
53:34
move. Just yelling lateral move over and
53:36
over again. I'm not. The pervert is
53:38
the one who was the old guy,
53:40
but I was the same age. It's just
53:42
some other 13 -year -old making it, too.
53:45
That's what I was going to that's the only
53:47
thing that a kind of makes it okay.
53:49
And I still feel like a creep even thinking
53:51
about that. It's all the whole project is
53:53
kids. Not, not,
53:55
not, not about the swimsuit issue, but
53:57
wasn't there. Didn't they have kids
53:59
report stuff in SI for kids? Am
54:01
I remembering that wrong? That
54:04
was so cool. You were like,
54:06
yeah. Oh, because there's that great
54:08
podcast about a guy whose dad
54:10
would pretend that he was an
54:12
SI for kids reporter. to get
54:14
him courtside in like if they're
54:16
from New York, like MSG and
54:19
stuff like that. Yeah, it's really.
54:21
And then he grows up to
54:23
find out his dad is a
54:25
con man. That is actually really
54:27
interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My
54:29
life is alive, but those games were
54:31
sick. Yeah. Yeah,
54:34
Sports Illustrated. Also, it's like if
54:36
your team won the championship, that
54:38
commemorative issue that they would put
54:40
out for every team, it's like
54:42
the one your dad's got on
54:44
his shelf somewhere. Yeah, the Broncos
54:46
one. Yeah, it's iconic magazine. mean,
54:48
football phones, that whole run where
54:50
my dad, I think he had
54:52
the football phone, right? Was it
54:54
the football phone? Yeah, it was
54:57
100%. I feel like that's where
54:59
everyone was ordering their fatheads originally.
55:01
Yeah. Oh, brother. My fucking
55:03
dad's, okay, my dad had a roommate
55:05
in Phoenix. I mean, way, way, way
55:07
beyond. That's always a tough, tough, tough
55:09
way to start a sentence. Yes, already
55:11
on board. But a great way to
55:13
start a book. Yeah. His
55:17
name was Spoon. His
55:20
roommate's name looked like it was Spoon
55:23
Sports Illustrated. Like he was Sports Illustrated's son
55:25
or something. I mean, you walked in,
55:27
there was a cutout of Kathy Ireland in
55:29
the living room. Like that, where you're
55:31
like. I didn't even know those made it
55:33
out of bars. And anyway, he had
55:35
all the sports at like the football phone,
55:37
the basketball, like all everything in his
55:39
house. It was like if you were 13
55:41
and you're like, what do I want
55:44
my apartment to look like when I'm 40?
55:46
What's what am I shooting for? Yeah,
55:48
that's that's what it was. I think a
55:50
lot of guys energy that now goes
55:52
exclusively into betting used to go into Sports
55:54
Illustrated. Yeah. So like that guy would
55:56
that guy's a DraftKings pro. Yeah. No, he's
55:58
a parlay man. He's a parlayer man. Absolutely.
56:01
It's got a room that's dedicated to the
56:03
beginnings where it's just Sports Illustrated. You walk
56:05
in and it's like just like somebody on
56:07
a loudspeaker giving you the history of Sports
56:10
Illustrated. It's a tour. They
56:12
also had those weird videotapes.
56:14
You could get Sports Illustrated. That wasn't
56:17
Sports Illustrated. No,
56:19
I know you mean. My dad would
56:21
make me watch this Larry Bird documentary. Every time
56:23
he got drunk, he'd make me watch it
56:25
like I'd never seen it before. And it was
56:27
a Sports Illustrated Larry Bird documentary. Yeah, sounds
56:30
right. Yeah. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah.
56:32
Yeah. I was just going to say those
56:34
are the formative sides of my coin. New Yorker
56:36
and Sports Illustrated. That's what I'm bringing to
56:38
the table, y 'all. Yeah,
56:40
dude. Well -rounded. David, round two. What are
56:42
we looking at? Okay.
56:44
This is a magazine
56:46
I probably got from
56:49
probably 11 to 19. And
56:51
it was a magazine I got because
56:54
my mom had no idea what it was.
56:57
I'm taking the Source magazine. I
57:01
used to and it like it really held
57:03
me down because like when I was younger
57:05
and I first got it, I would get
57:07
it to like show my friends and stuff
57:09
like that. But then when I got older,
57:11
like especially in high school. Not a lot
57:13
of my friends listen to the same kind
57:15
of more obscure music that I listen to.
57:17
So it was just like my lifeline to
57:19
hip hop because I was not on the
57:21
Internet for other reasons than, you know, the
57:24
same ones we all were in 03.
57:26
But a lot of a lot of
57:28
the source magazine, man. I
57:30
really, I really, really would
57:32
make it back. Was
57:35
your mom like just not going
57:37
to be down for you? putting
57:40
all of that hip -hop knowledge in your head
57:42
at that age no she just didn't i
57:44
don't think she even i was like that's his
57:46
magazine yeah she would just be like your
57:48
magazine came i don't think she even looked you
57:50
know what i mean my mom didn't even
57:52
know what she had no idea what it was
57:54
she i mean she saw that it wasn't
57:56
a you know like a dirty magazine so she
57:58
because i had subscription too and i'd always
58:00
read it in suspension like i was suspended and
58:02
i'd sit and read the source and i'd
58:04
like hold the cover at the teacher i mean
58:06
now you want people to see it I
58:09
found out about Carl. Can I like
58:11
that? That like everything I thought was
58:14
like dope. I found from the source
58:16
and old albums, I guess. But it
58:18
was. Oh, yeah. The ads were huge.
58:20
The ads were huge for what clothes
58:22
were cool. It was just really on
58:24
the pulse. Yep. I was
58:26
the only one that ever had it, too. And
58:28
I believe that in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Absolutely.
58:31
I was the only one who ever had it in Elizabeth,
58:33
Colorado. I'll tell you how much. It
58:35
was so it made that made me
58:37
feel awesome. having the source I really
58:39
felt like connected for real different than
58:41
something else like I really was like
58:43
I actually do know shit that people
58:45
don't know no it's weird that we
58:47
connect on the same reasons for the
58:49
source magazine yes it is it's not
58:51
what you think going into this conversation
58:53
no no no but I'm glad I'm
58:55
glad we I'm glad it was that
58:57
for both of us just a split
58:59
screen of Sean and David both reading
59:01
the source and simultaneous being like I
59:03
just wish someone around here understood me
59:05
yeah totally totally totally I just look
59:07
up, yeah, Chino XL, fuck you two.
59:09
I wonder if somebody is under the
59:11
same moon looking up as me at
59:13
the same time. Reading the
59:15
same source as me. Anyway,
59:17
I got to try this for
59:19
loco stuff. Yeah. I
59:22
mean, I was young. We're talking when I'm
59:24
in the source, it's like 94, 95, 96,
59:26
like 93, 94, 95, 96. Those are my
59:28
big source years. So that if you have
59:30
those, they would probably be worth some money
59:33
just based on who would be on the
59:35
covers. Oh, yeah. I mean, they
59:37
have the really famous one with Biggie
59:39
and the Twin Towers. Yeah.
59:42
Yeah, that was like a really famous cover. If I
59:44
would have had any sort of foresight, I was scribbling
59:46
on. I mean, because I was in like suspension. Yeah,
59:49
you were all in there. Just
59:51
like Eminem the bus. had the Biggie one,
59:53
but right next to the Twin Towers, it just
59:55
has Juggalo for life and bubble letters. Hey,
59:58
is this worth any money if I put an eye
1:00:00
patch on him? Or does that diminish? a problem? My
1:00:04
fun fact, my dad, John Holland,
1:00:06
was in the source. You got it.
1:00:08
What? What? Oh, yeah. Johnny Holland
1:00:11
was in the source, baby. He's a
1:00:13
civil rights attorney. And he had
1:00:15
like a case, really bad racial discrimination
1:00:17
case that made national headlines. And
1:00:19
they profiled in the source. And my
1:00:21
dad knew enough to know how
1:00:23
cool the fucking source was. So he
1:00:26
like dropped it on me. He's
1:00:28
like, beat this. He
1:00:30
tells you to beat it and you're still
1:00:32
chasing that dragon. still chasing. I'm getting rejected by
1:00:34
the New Yorker over here trying to chase
1:00:37
my dad in the source. What you did talk
1:00:39
about is how many times he got rejected
1:00:41
by the source. Oh, buddy. And those were just
1:00:43
mixtapes I sent in. Yeah, he was just
1:00:45
trying to get outside. Your
1:00:49
dad's in the column called One of
1:00:51
the Good Ones. Totally,
1:00:54
totally. This one's
1:00:56
all right. Fuck with this one. I
1:00:59
never would have thought, like, I
1:01:01
never would have thought you were, like,
1:01:04
two degrees separation from Benzino, but here we
1:01:06
are. Wild. Yeah. That is
1:01:08
really, you would not be the guy I picked,
1:01:10
but that's, you know, life is crazy. Yep.
1:01:12
He and my dad had lunch together on an
1:01:14
island. They
1:01:16
had to. It was Coney Island, but
1:01:19
it counts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's
1:01:21
a hot dog. They shared a hot dog.
1:01:24
Oh, dog. That's so sick. Oh,
1:01:26
man. The source. Excellent,
1:01:28
excellent pick. Katrina, second,
1:01:31
third picks back to back. Oh,
1:01:33
yay. Okay, cool. So for
1:01:35
number two, I'm going to
1:01:37
do another one from sitting
1:01:39
around waiting for your parents.
1:01:42
Jet Magazine. Ooh, come
1:01:44
on, let's go. My
1:01:46
favorite. Oh my gosh, it
1:01:48
was my favorite. Tiny Magazine. probably
1:01:50
the most bi thing about me was
1:01:52
me looking only at the beauties of
1:01:54
the week and just flanning, like going
1:01:57
through them specifically just to see beauties
1:01:59
of the week. But there's also other
1:02:01
cool stuff in there. But it also
1:02:03
was nice because it was the one
1:02:05
place where they would be like, look
1:02:07
at this hot black lady. And she
1:02:09
wasn't mixed. No offense. I love mixed
1:02:11
women. But like, when I was little,
1:02:13
anytime it was that representation, it was...
1:02:15
Always someone biracial. So that was, no
1:02:17
joke, one of the first times I
1:02:19
remember seeing, like, a woman as brown
1:02:21
as me in a bikini. And it
1:02:23
was just nice to be exploited on
1:02:25
the same level as other women. I
1:02:27
really appreciated that equality. But there's so
1:02:29
many fun little, like, because
1:02:31
it's weekly, like, I love the repetition of, like,
1:02:33
different articles in there. So you could just
1:02:35
find one thing and look at that, you know,
1:02:37
article or interview for every week. It was
1:02:39
great. You know what loved about? you know what
1:02:41
i loved about jet too was that it
1:02:43
felt local or it felt like a smaller community
1:02:45
in the way that like you remember they
1:02:47
had like wedding announcements yes like it felt very
1:02:49
like you're saying just the community of it
1:02:52
and it was i guess just because it was
1:02:54
small and weekly that you could be like
1:02:56
i'm in jet magazine but it was like everybody
1:02:58
yeah it would just be like it would
1:03:00
be like so and so and so and so
1:03:02
of baltimore got married and have a picture
1:03:04
of him, you know, and you'd be like, oh,
1:03:06
that's cool. Like it felt. Yeah. Jet magazine.
1:03:08
That's a good one. That's a good. It does
1:03:10
feel like it. You guys can speak this
1:03:12
more than I can. But like, you know, it
1:03:14
just feels like it was very much for
1:03:16
the black community. Like I didn't see magazines much
1:03:18
at all in my white travels. Like, I
1:03:20
don't even know where to encounter a jet magazine.
1:03:22
You go buy them. It was like East
1:03:24
Bay for black people. It just showed up at
1:03:26
your house. You had to. That's what I
1:03:28
thought you had to own a hair salon. And
1:03:30
then you got. That's the
1:03:32
only addresses they would send you. I've
1:03:35
never... I don't remember seeing the
1:03:37
Jet magazine on the rack at the
1:03:39
supermarket or anything like that. And
1:03:41
they're little. I loved how little they
1:03:43
were. They're like little babies. They
1:03:45
call it Digest. So it says Jet
1:03:48
was printed November 1st, 1951 in
1:03:50
Digest -sized format. I've never really heard
1:03:52
it called Digest -sized. Because it's Ebony's
1:03:54
baby. Yeah, Ebony had a
1:03:56
baby. It
1:04:00
is. Named it Jet. I'm going to name
1:04:02
it Jet. John
1:04:04
H. Johnson in November
1:04:06
1951 founded Jet in
1:04:08
Chicago. Yeah, and
1:04:11
they covered gnarly stuff too. Right
1:04:14
here, the Montgomery bus boycott.
1:04:17
MLK, Emmett Till, all that stuff. So that again
1:04:19
speaks to, like you're saying, the community, Adam,
1:04:21
of like, I'm sure real time they were like,
1:04:23
oh, you want to see the pictures? We're
1:04:25
going to print that shit. Like that kind of
1:04:27
thing. Yeah, yeah. That's
1:04:30
a good one. Okay, so that was my
1:04:32
one that I was honestly so afraid David was
1:04:34
going to steal from me. And
1:04:36
my second one... Wait, I got to
1:04:38
tell my dad he didn't make Jet. You
1:04:40
didn't make fucking Jet, Dad. Yeah, you blew
1:04:42
it. You might be down. He's sitting right
1:04:44
there. He
1:04:47
doesn't know that John Holland was also a beauty
1:04:49
of the week. It's just his dad. My
1:04:52
dad's 71s in Jet. been
1:04:54
wild. Just him looking nuts
1:04:56
in the 70s. And
1:04:59
then my next pick, to speak to
1:05:01
your East Bay, David, I don't know if
1:05:03
this will count, but I want to
1:05:05
pick Delia's. It's technically a
1:05:07
catalog. Okay. I love
1:05:09
Delia's. Like, it was so formative,
1:05:11
even though it's just closed. Like,
1:05:13
that to me was, I think,
1:05:15
a window for me, Adam, to
1:05:17
like, for me, it was girls
1:05:20
a little bit older than me,
1:05:22
but it was kind of like, Clothes
1:05:25
that you couldn't, I... necessarily get at
1:05:27
like JCPenney on clearance, but I could
1:05:29
get like one cool pair of pants
1:05:31
for my birthday. Like they just had
1:05:33
all of like, like I remember I
1:05:35
wanted a Strokes t -shirt so bad,
1:05:37
but I already got called white enough
1:05:39
that I was like, I don't need
1:05:41
that kind of heat. But like, I
1:05:44
think about that Strokes t -shirt all the
1:05:46
time. Like it was a place other
1:05:48
than Hot Topic because I wasn't allowed
1:05:50
to go in there because my parents
1:05:52
are Christian. Then I was just like,
1:05:54
this was like everything I want is
1:05:56
in this magazine. Like the girl. Girls
1:05:58
look like how I want to look.
1:06:00
They're like, it was, man, I freaking
1:06:02
love that. The Warped Tour came to
1:06:04
your mailbox. Here it is. Basically, it
1:06:07
was basically like a Lilith Fair wrapped
1:06:09
in Gwen Stefani showed up to my
1:06:11
house and I got to just dream
1:06:13
about all the outfits that I could
1:06:15
wear. You want an Ani DeFranco canvas
1:06:17
tote bag? We got you. my gosh,
1:06:19
yes. Was it like, because
1:06:21
this is how I remember East Bay for
1:06:23
me. It was like, even though those magazines
1:06:25
were just closed, you would look at it
1:06:27
over and over again like it was a
1:06:29
regular magazine. Oh, yes. Absolutely. Building
1:06:32
the look for myself. Every day was a
1:06:34
different look. I'm like, oh, the Bengals are
1:06:36
my favorite now because of this new jersey.
1:06:38
You're just sitting there dreaming of like the
1:06:41
like. teen you want to be like that's
1:06:43
what I want to be visually let's lock
1:06:45
that down one day well and there wasn't
1:06:47
like you can be any teen you want
1:06:49
to be with a click on the internet
1:06:51
like it was just like only only a
1:06:53
certain number of magazines are going to get
1:06:55
to you and you got to decide like
1:06:57
what it is out of this catalog you
1:06:59
want to be yeah call to I remember
1:07:01
my dad he'd sit every you know once
1:07:03
a year he'd buy me so he'd sit
1:07:05
and he'd get drunk and like call in
1:07:07
and I'd hear him do it I'm like
1:07:09
oh It's happening. The call. Yeah. He's ordering.
1:07:11
Call for the order. He's spending $300 right
1:07:13
now because he's hammered. Hell yeah. He's getting
1:07:15
a COD. That is.
1:07:17
I mean, you imagine how sketchy that would be
1:07:19
if you're the delivery driver? Like, are
1:07:21
they going to pay me for this? Yes. I
1:07:23
can't. Or am I going to get shot? Or
1:07:26
am I to get shot? They're just going to take it
1:07:28
or are they going to give me cash? I would just
1:07:30
take it. Yeah.
1:07:32
It's insane. Cash on delivery.
1:07:34
If you guys don't know anybody listening,
1:07:36
it's. A wild move that we made.
1:07:39
But yeah, Delia's. Hell yeah, Delia's.
1:07:42
And was that number three? Yeah, all
1:07:44
right. David, we got number three. This
1:07:47
is a weird pick. I thought Katrina was
1:07:49
going to get this one. This
1:07:51
was a magazine I thought that if I
1:07:53
could read, it was going to be like Rosetta
1:07:55
Stone. Like it was going
1:07:57
to crack the code for me. know
1:07:59
where you're going. 17 Magazine. Yeah, brother.
1:08:02
The Secrets. And then I remember you
1:08:04
would try to like. You would like
1:08:06
grab it from a girl and then
1:08:08
pretend like you were like, what is
1:08:10
this? This is so crazy. Yeah.
1:08:16
And meanwhile, you're pouring over every page,
1:08:18
trying to get some kind of
1:08:20
insight. Yes. Memorize every syllable
1:08:22
of what girls told other girls. Just
1:08:24
trying to figure out what the fuck
1:08:26
is going on on the other side
1:08:28
of the fence. Meanwhile, it's just like,
1:08:30
I hate myself in like four different
1:08:32
ways. No, it did not help. It
1:08:35
did not help all. You suck. that
1:08:37
everyone notices. Yeah. That
1:08:40
you can't hide. Eight reasons that
1:08:42
are impossible to hide. I say 17,
1:08:44
but it's just a placeholder for
1:08:46
all those girls magazines. Yes. Where you
1:08:48
thought you could get some kind
1:08:50
of insight and like crack a code.
1:08:52
Dude, that was my next pick.
1:08:54
YM was the same exact same thing.
1:08:56
That was my favorite one. I
1:08:58
feel like YM was like the most
1:09:00
down to earth. It was like
1:09:02
YM, then 17. then like
1:09:04
allure and glamour kind of
1:09:06
fluff and more clothes. And then
1:09:08
Cosmo was like grown women.
1:09:10
Right. were like, we read Cosmo,
1:09:12
but we were really scared of most of
1:09:14
the stuff that was in there. It was
1:09:16
a lot. Cosmo was a lot of sex
1:09:18
tips that I didn't understand. Yes. And we
1:09:20
would read them aloud to each other and
1:09:22
be like, that doesn't even. even make sense.
1:09:24
Like how, like I remember like being on
1:09:26
the beach with a bunch of my friends
1:09:28
and be like, okay, so if I was
1:09:30
a guy this way, you can't even sit
1:09:32
on someone like that and spin being like,
1:09:34
these don't even make sense. Just a bunch
1:09:37
of early O's fellatio tips. And you're like,
1:09:39
yeah, I feel like Cosmo was always just
1:09:41
like, keep chunks of mango in your mouth.
1:09:43
I was going to say it was all
1:09:45
just different stuff to put in your mouth
1:09:47
while you're giving head as if there's so
1:09:49
much room in there. Like, why am I
1:09:51
like, where? did all these ice cubes come
1:09:53
from? Am I sucking
1:09:55
dick in the back bar? Why
1:09:57
is everything so accessible? Like, there
1:09:59
were always accessories. I've never
1:10:01
talked to my buddy like, go ahead, go ahead.
1:10:03
No, just like, yeah, it was dope, but there
1:10:05
was no mango in there, so I mean, it
1:10:07
could have been. I honestly thought people were going
1:10:09
to be so disappointed by the lack of accoutrement
1:10:12
in my drawings. when
1:10:14
I went down on them. See if
1:10:16
you can fit a couple of whoppers in
1:10:18
there. Yeah, make
1:10:21
it savory. Price up your
1:10:23
blowjob with buffalo wings. Me
1:10:27
and Trina hooked up. It was pretty
1:10:29
cool, but she only had eight mankala
1:10:31
beads in her mouth, and it was
1:10:33
fine. Six
1:10:35
out of ten is like a score. Oh,
1:10:38
man. So many quizzes. So many
1:10:40
quizzes. Oh, I did love a good
1:10:42
quiz. Please tell me who I
1:10:44
am via quiz form. I think that
1:10:46
that was like BuzzFeed, I guess,
1:10:48
was the last one to really get
1:10:50
us going. But YM also had
1:10:52
Say Anything. which was like girls
1:10:54
would write in horror stories. That's what I
1:10:56
love. I didn't have to sneak it
1:10:58
because my sisters got it. So I would
1:11:00
just like take it. Perfect, perfect. But
1:11:02
like the say anythings were like girls being
1:11:04
like, oh my God, you'll never believe
1:11:06
what happened. And inevitably it was like the
1:11:08
biggest period of all time during class
1:11:11
was like every story. But it was just
1:11:13
horror stories. And I felt like the
1:11:15
Rosetta Stone too. I was like, okay, the
1:11:17
girls are like, this is their. of
1:11:19
what they're afraid of. They have concerns too.
1:11:21
They're neurotic as well. Now I'll
1:11:23
use that for them to have sex with me.
1:11:25
You're trying to empathize in class. In
1:11:27
15 years. But if Adam ever
1:11:29
saw a girl acting cagey and then
1:11:31
offered his hoodie for her to
1:11:33
tie around her waist, he would have
1:11:35
gotten fucked by anybody who heard
1:11:37
that story. That's the nicest thing you
1:11:39
could have done is be aware
1:11:41
of period I didn't pay enough attention.
1:11:45
We didn't know the right words. They were
1:11:47
all just like things either coming out
1:11:49
of or getting stuck in your snatch. It
1:11:51
was most of the horror stories were
1:11:53
just like, oh, no, it won't stop coming
1:11:55
out or I can't get it out.
1:11:57
That was most of what. It's stuck. Yeah,
1:12:00
a lot of them were just like,
1:12:02
oh, no. Wait,
1:12:07
boy, I got one more, dude. Like 17
1:12:09
Magazine, my senior year of high school. came
1:12:11
to my high school. They would do profiles
1:12:14
of high school fashions. See, this fucking guy
1:12:16
went to a cool school, man. I was
1:12:18
going to say, Adam, have so many cool
1:12:20
magazines. to East High School. But,
1:12:22
dude, and everybody knew. They're like, the
1:12:24
people from 17 are here. They're doing
1:12:26
a profile on East. This is going
1:12:29
to rip. And they would just pick
1:12:31
kids. Across several days. So,
1:12:33
dude, every day I rocked like
1:12:35
a different thing, trying so hard to
1:12:37
get picked. One day a soccer
1:12:39
jersey, one day like a vest with
1:12:41
stripes or whatever, just 90s shit's
1:12:43
going on. And they were like, nope,
1:12:45
nope, nope. I couldn't get in
1:12:48
there. Were
1:12:50
you pissed when you saw who
1:12:52
they picked? Oh, absolutely. Fucking
1:12:54
Rick? You
1:12:56
picked the wrong job to get into because
1:12:58
none of that changes. Totally.
1:13:01
What do you mean they got that? We
1:13:03
just had Surge come in our high school.
1:13:05
Oh, man. I do remember that as well.
1:13:07
I remember Surge came to ours as well.
1:13:09
Hell yeah. Like Mr.
1:13:11
Surge? No, but Adam
1:13:14
Surge was the photographer for 17.
1:13:16
Ours was the green shit that
1:13:18
you're not supposed to put in
1:13:20
your body. Yeah, make
1:13:22
sure boob shrink. Don't drink it. I
1:13:24
also remember Mountain Dew coming to my
1:13:26
Boys and Girls Club. and giving us
1:13:28
they give us a a bunch of
1:13:30
free mountain dew and then they set
1:13:32
up a tower of cans and they
1:13:34
pulled up in a hummer set up
1:13:36
a tower of cans, kick flipped
1:13:38
over the tower, gave all these
1:13:40
black kids free Mountain Dews and
1:13:42
drove off immediately. Jesus Christ. And
1:13:45
then hindsight, you're like, that's fucked.
1:13:47
You hear stuff like that and
1:13:49
you're like, well, maybe RFK should
1:13:51
retool a few things. Yeah, yeah,
1:13:53
yeah. You're like, that was fucked.
1:13:55
That was fucked. And
1:13:57
just ollied out of your high
1:13:59
fructose lives never to be seen
1:14:02
again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,
1:14:04
man. That's such a good pick. Such
1:14:06
a good 17. But yeah, 17. That
1:14:08
was people don't realize it was for
1:14:11
boys, too. It really was. It is
1:14:13
adorable to know that you wanted information
1:14:15
that badly about us. It's also just
1:14:17
is like totally the kind of guy
1:14:19
I was where I was like, yeah,
1:14:21
I won't talk to them. I'll just
1:14:23
learn their secrets from this magazine and
1:14:25
apply it that way. Yeah. You know
1:14:28
what I'm saying? Like I could have
1:14:30
just talked. Yeah. Yeah. But you were
1:14:32
like, I can't trust them to trust
1:14:34
to like interpret the words that I
1:14:36
say correctly. going to sneak up
1:14:38
on them. I'm going to do it the sneakiest
1:14:40
way possible. I also just
1:14:42
remembered how good those magazines smelled.
1:14:45
So many makeup samples or perfume
1:14:47
samples. I can smell that right
1:14:49
now. forgot about the makeup samples,
1:14:51
though, because I didn't have makeup.
1:14:53
So I would, like, save the,
1:14:55
like, be like, okay, I have
1:14:57
two more fingers worth of eyeshadow
1:14:59
inside this flap. It
1:15:01
was like the best looking week I
1:15:03
had for like the whole summer. I
1:15:05
forgot they would put eyeshadow and shit
1:15:07
in there. Man, that was awesome. And
1:15:09
cologne, right? I remember opening like in
1:15:11
the store. I'd open the thing and
1:15:13
like rub the cologne on your neck. That
1:15:16
never seemed to transfer in a
1:15:18
real way, though. Let's be honest.
1:15:20
Sean just smelling like Curve. We're
1:15:22
ready to Just smelling like magazine
1:15:24
adhesive glue kind of. Yeah. But
1:15:27
you think it's Tommy girl. Smells
1:15:29
like a sexy envelope in here.
1:15:31
What's going on? Oh,
1:15:33
that's just me. Don't worry about it. Here's my hoodie.
1:15:35
Who smells like the post office? Here's my hoodie.
1:15:37
Man, I want to fuck these documents. Oh,
1:15:40
man. But yeah, 17.
1:15:43
That's my pick. ACH. Oh,
1:15:46
man. That was my next pick, Bory.
1:15:48
For real. That was it. I wrote YM
1:15:50
slash 17. All right. You
1:15:52
know, after I became a bit
1:15:55
more fucking pathetic in my 20s, I
1:15:57
went to Spin Magazine. I was
1:15:59
like, fuck Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone's basic.
1:16:01
I'm on the Spin shit now.
1:16:03
And I was very into Spin Magazine
1:16:05
for a time. Spin was cool,
1:16:07
though. Spin was cool. Spin was cool.
1:16:10
Is Spin more alt? It felt
1:16:12
like it was like college rock or
1:16:14
something like that. It was just
1:16:16
like the... this sort of, like, more
1:16:18
record store snobby magazine. Because that's
1:16:20
more what I remember of a Nirvana
1:16:22
cover is, like, a fisheye lens
1:16:25
of them, like, from, like, if you
1:16:27
got shot from, like, a surveillance
1:16:29
camera almost. Yeah. And just, like, a
1:16:31
lot of gritty, when people were
1:16:33
doing that, like, it's, like,
1:16:35
a high flash blue, like, that kind
1:16:37
of thing. Bunch of Soundgarden videos. I
1:16:39
mean, that's where you get, like, this
1:16:42
is a Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone interview
1:16:44
magazine. You know, we're not saying. They
1:16:46
still had really famous people on the
1:16:48
cover. I feel like they just seemed
1:16:50
cooler. Like Rolling Stone
1:16:52
felt like it was a sellout
1:16:54
magazine. Yeah, that's always going to
1:16:56
go that way where there's even Rolling Stone
1:16:58
started alt or whatever, and then it got
1:17:01
mainstream. So someone else is like, all right,
1:17:03
we're going to capitalize and come in and
1:17:05
get like Blind Melon on the cover.
1:17:07
Well, and spin definitely like was. my niche
1:17:09
of early two thousands indie rock. So it
1:17:11
was like the, the bands, the strokes, the
1:17:13
hives, the fucking, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the
1:17:15
white stripes. That would also have like MIA. Yeah.
1:17:18
Totally. Totally. When paper planes came out, I
1:17:20
really, I did that douchey thing where I'm
1:17:22
like, Oh, nobody knows about this. I'm going
1:17:24
to act like I've known about it for
1:17:26
years when I heard it yesterday for the
1:17:28
first time. Yo, do you know she's a
1:17:30
trumper? Yeah, she went
1:17:32
wild a while ago. that crazy? I
1:17:34
couldn't believe that one. I know.
1:17:37
It's a real bummer. But I loved
1:17:39
M .I .A. I worked in the
1:17:41
mall and sun showers. Like, I think
1:17:43
maybe the song before Paper Planes.
1:17:45
And it's still like, you know, kind
1:17:47
of like bongo -y, like the beat.
1:17:50
No one in that store liked that song
1:17:52
but me. Everybody in American Eagle would get
1:17:54
on the overhead and be like, can we
1:17:56
get this song? And it was like... you,
1:17:58
Trish. This song rips. Like, I was the
1:18:00
only one. I was going to ask where
1:18:02
you work. I always wanted to work in
1:18:04
a mall. I never got to. So you
1:18:06
worked at American Eagle? Yes, I worked. That's
1:18:08
all I did was work in mall. That's
1:18:10
hot shit. That is. Well, I used to
1:18:12
work in. Yeah, with attitude. I used to
1:18:14
work in the sketchy girl store where they
1:18:16
were the only people that still hired you
1:18:18
at 15. And then I graduated to American
1:18:20
Eagle. Damn. Yeah.
1:18:22
Were you getting a lot of free American Eagle? No,
1:18:25
we did have one good day. Nothing was
1:18:27
ever free, but we had jeans day for like
1:18:29
back to school where you had to try
1:18:31
on all the different pairs of jeans so that
1:18:33
you could describe how they fit to other
1:18:35
people. But it was really fun because it was
1:18:38
everyone. Like when you like want to hope
1:18:40
that you get a shift with your friend and
1:18:42
you never do, you knew everyone was going
1:18:44
to be at work that day. So you got
1:18:46
to like hang out and try on pants
1:18:48
with all the people you like the most at
1:18:50
work. And I love clothes. So I was
1:18:52
like, yeah, that was my favorite day. But no,
1:18:54
we never got anything free ever. You didn't
1:18:56
steal. And I was bad at selling credit cards.
1:18:58
That's what they really like. No,
1:19:01
I didn't steal. I was
1:19:03
also of the age where a
1:19:05
lot of mine was being
1:19:07
sensitive to men who wanted skinny
1:19:09
jeans. could not find them
1:19:11
on their side of the store yet. So
1:19:13
I spent a lot of time just telling
1:19:15
boys what size they were in girls' jeans
1:19:17
because they wanted skinny jeans. There would always
1:19:20
be just guys like loitering on my side.
1:19:22
be like, do you need help? No, no,
1:19:24
no. I'm just looking around and be like,
1:19:26
you're not with a girl. Dude, you're a
1:19:28
12. Get out of my section. I can't
1:19:30
think of a better person to hold someone's
1:19:32
hand in that situation than you. You're
1:19:35
the best. God put you
1:19:37
on the planet for that. You
1:19:39
could help. these motherfuckers. You're perfectly dispositioned to
1:19:41
do this. It felt good. I did
1:19:43
have my guy friend used to borrow my
1:19:45
one good pair of American Eagle jeans.
1:19:47
be like, I have a date on Friday.
1:19:49
And I'd be like, I need my
1:19:51
good jeans. You can't wear my good jeans
1:19:53
on your date. Like, I know you're
1:19:56
getting laid more than me, but I don't
1:19:58
care. I'm wearing my jeans. In my
1:20:00
head when he said that, he also like
1:20:02
swooped his hair out. Oh, he absolutely
1:20:04
did. Trina! Because he couldn't see me. I
1:20:09
have to text him, see how he's doing. Yeah, see how
1:20:11
he's doing. I worked in a
1:20:13
mall my first job, and I stole everything.
1:20:15
I stole everything. So much. Oh, yeah. I
1:20:17
didn't even know things cost money at the
1:20:19
mall until I was like 20. The
1:20:22
Cherry Creek Mall. I worked at a shoe
1:20:24
store called Track and Trail. Doesn't even exist
1:20:26
anymore because I bankrupted it. Their
1:20:29
numbers were out of control. They were
1:20:31
in the red so bad after they hired
1:20:33
Adam. You caught me for the summer
1:20:35
before I went to college. I was leaving
1:20:37
state. You're fucked. I'm taking this all. You're
1:20:40
just iced out every day and you're like,
1:20:42
I don't know why we keep losing money.
1:20:44
Like showing up in the shit. I didn't
1:20:46
even care. I would steal fucking shoe parts.
1:20:48
cause and then like chuck it off the
1:20:50
fucking top of the parking deck just to
1:20:52
be an asshole I was I was relentless
1:20:54
good times I was the only other brown
1:20:56
person American Eagle was Filipino so I didn't
1:20:58
really want to get out there stealing like
1:21:01
crazy we may have been in different situations
1:21:03
no one was Adam and I were just
1:21:05
like what do you mean who gives a
1:21:07
shit yeah I was already
1:21:09
a sketchy hire to begin with. I've definitely
1:21:11
gotten jobs and had people tell me after
1:21:13
the fact, she thought you were going to
1:21:15
fail your drug test. It's
1:21:18
a crazy thing to not keep to
1:21:20
yourself. That's
1:21:22
because you think that's what happens when your racism is
1:21:24
so good. You think you're actually going to be right
1:21:26
and you're not going to have to be around that
1:21:28
person or smile at them every day for two years.
1:21:32
But no, American Eagle was a great
1:21:34
place to work. It was a very
1:21:36
a lot of upstanding. It was like
1:21:38
a more upstanding, mature people that had
1:21:40
like other jobs and kids. And like
1:21:42
my manager was an actor that was
1:21:44
on Cops once for like a reenactment.
1:21:46
Where was the mom? Where was this?
1:21:48
He started. That was his reel was
1:21:50
just him getting. arrested on yes no
1:21:52
and now that i'm older i realized
1:21:54
that he was in jacksonville florida managing
1:21:56
this american eagle talking to me because
1:21:58
he realized that we like kind of
1:22:00
were on the same wavelength because i
1:22:03
was the only one that didn't get
1:22:05
mad when he played avenue q for
1:22:07
the floor set and so he would
1:22:09
tell me about all of his extra
1:22:11
work oh that's dope man were you
1:22:13
like homies did you have homies with
1:22:15
like other people in the mall like
1:22:17
could you go get a free julius
1:22:19
or something Like did the mall workers
1:22:21
bind together? Food friends are cool. Food
1:22:23
friends give stuff away in droves. Closed
1:22:25
friends, not as much. You can like
1:22:27
kind of trade discount. Like if you
1:22:29
buy me this top, I'll buy you
1:22:31
these jeans. But everything's, it's like the
1:22:33
most you get is like 20 % off.
1:22:35
So it's like, who cares? But food
1:22:37
friends are awesome. Cause they'll be like,
1:22:39
are you closing? Cause I'm bringing a
1:22:41
cookie cake. I
1:22:44
used to work at a grocery store and people
1:22:46
would come through and I would scan like a pack
1:22:48
of gum. And they would have like their batteries.
1:22:50
Like my friends had come through. They'd have their batteries,
1:22:52
cartons of cigs. And it's going to pack a
1:22:54
gum. Yeah. And just, I mean, hundreds. This one girl
1:22:56
one time. So one of those popular girls in
1:22:58
school, she came through with a whole cart full of
1:23:00
stuff. It was like $300 worth of stuff. Grocery
1:23:03
shopping for her parents. And she's like, oh, I don't
1:23:05
have my debit card. And I was like, it's
1:23:07
cool. Don't worry about it. And she's like, what? She
1:23:09
goes, what? And I'm like, shut the fuck up.
1:23:11
I was like, just take it. It was the coolest
1:23:13
I ever looked. Did she talk to you afterwards?
1:23:15
People heard about it. Word
1:23:19
got around. People
1:23:22
heard that Sean gave someone
1:23:24
a week's worth of groceries
1:23:26
out the door. No tax.
1:23:30
Let's just say I wasn't late to class anymore. Oh,
1:23:33
OK, that's good. I don't even know what it meant.
1:23:35
And my voice cracked when I said it. That's how much
1:23:37
of a liar I am. Anyway, time for my time
1:23:39
for my. What number are we
1:23:41
on? I got to strategize. What number is this? So
1:23:43
this will be my third and fourth. So
1:23:45
coming up is going to be everyone's fourth
1:23:47
round. So everyone has two picks left. I
1:23:49
have three. So it is time for my
1:23:52
third pick. Before we get to that pick,
1:23:54
another quick break. This
1:23:56
show is sponsored by
1:23:59
BetterHelp. Now, therapy
1:24:01
seems like a big investment,
1:24:03
you know? Sometimes it just
1:24:05
seems like a big investment. It seems like it might be
1:24:07
too expensive. Dare I say not worth
1:24:09
it. You know, a lot of people
1:24:11
think that. And that's just not true. You
1:24:13
know, your state of mind, your mental
1:24:15
health is just as important as your physical
1:24:17
health. And we could not be more
1:24:19
serious when we say that. If you're talking
1:24:21
numbers, in -person therapy, you're looking anywhere from
1:24:24
like 100, 250 a session. And it
1:24:26
adds up fast. We better help online therapy.
1:24:28
You save on average at least half
1:24:30
per session because it's all online. You know,
1:24:32
you don't have to do anything. They
1:24:34
cut down on that brick and mortar. They
1:24:36
don't have to have that vending machine
1:24:38
in there to entertain you. What am I
1:24:40
getting? Some honey mustard pretzels, some M &Ms.
1:24:42
None of that stuff. None of those
1:24:44
unnecessary frills. All about your brain, dog. With
1:24:48
BetterHelp, you're just going to pay
1:24:50
a flat fee for weekly sessions, saving
1:24:52
you a tremendous amount with time
1:24:54
and cost. Therapy should feel accessible.
1:24:56
That's a big thing about it. If you
1:24:58
want to do it. You should feel
1:25:00
like you're able to do it. That's the
1:25:02
first step. And BetterHelp wants to make
1:25:04
it feel that way for you. They want
1:25:06
you to know that it is possible
1:25:08
for everybody. Everybody deserves someone else to talk
1:25:10
to, which a lot of times that's
1:25:12
just what therapy is. Another set of ears,
1:25:14
someone to listen to so your partner
1:25:16
doesn't have to get out of the shower
1:25:18
after a long day. And then you're
1:25:20
like, hey, I got to spill my problems
1:25:22
on you. I know you just took
1:25:25
a shower, but I'm going to get you
1:25:27
dirty with my words again. Don't do
1:25:29
that. Get another set of ears on the
1:25:31
problem and learn how to set boundaries
1:25:33
for yourself. coping skills, all that stuff. Learn
1:25:35
how to stop being such a people

1:25:59
Uh -oh, we're back. Time for my third
1:26:01
and fourth picks. I'm
1:26:03
going to go double skateboard to no
1:26:05
one's surprise. So my third pick,
1:26:07
I'm going to go on the nose,
1:26:09
Thrasher. Just a
1:26:11
timeless skateboard magazine. Did anybody
1:26:13
else here ever mess
1:26:15
around with Thrasher? Yeah,
1:26:17
I would thumb through in the library.
1:26:19
Only to look at boys. But yes,
1:26:22
I did. Yeah, we were those
1:26:24
dirty boys. Thankfully that
1:26:26
there's that. Maybe it's gone.
1:26:28
I don't know. But when I was in, there
1:26:30
was a few years where I was in
1:26:32
the pocket where I'm like, oh man, girls really
1:26:34
seem to like this dirty kid that just
1:26:36
doesn't give a shit. That was like really appealing.
1:26:38
For sure. That's awesome that that worked out.
1:26:40
SZA has it in a song. She likes dudes
1:26:42
with dirty shoes. It's hard. I
1:26:45
saw that guy skateboarding around San
1:26:47
Francisco a couple of times. Who, Jake
1:26:49
Phelps? Yeah, yeah. I
1:26:51
never knew. One time I was standing with
1:26:53
Claire O 'Kane and she was like, that's the
1:26:56
guy who runs Thrasher. And I was like, that's
1:26:59
the weed dog. Yeah, he
1:27:01
was... The thing about some
1:27:03
of those old skate dudes is
1:27:05
they still say the words,
1:27:07
some of them. I believe that.
1:27:10
You can't say that, but
1:27:12
there's no real way to say
1:27:14
it. It's like the F
1:27:16
word, those things. I swear
1:27:18
they don't mean it maliciously, but of course
1:27:20
it always is. It's just that
1:27:22
old mentality of like, why can't I say this?
1:27:24
And you're like, well, there's a bunch of reasons, but
1:27:26
they just never stopped. Jake Phelps was one of
1:27:29
those dudes where you're like, he would say, he would
1:27:31
say every one of those words. And you're like,
1:27:33
I don't know, man. He's an interesting dude. He was.
1:27:35
So are you saying we need more trans women
1:27:37
at the skate park, Sean? He
1:27:40
might take Transworld next. Yeah, we need
1:27:42
more visibility. Because that's what I was thinking.
1:27:44
It's just because there's no one at
1:27:46
the park that would ever... It's like, it's
1:27:48
just us, dude. It's like, I've gone
1:27:51
roller skating and been like, oh, there's no
1:27:53
one but dudes. Like, all dudes of
1:27:55
different ages and sizes that are all the
1:27:57
same person. All at the park. So
1:27:59
it's like, yeah. I can see
1:28:01
why they're like, what's the big deal? I've
1:28:03
never literally been around anyone else that it
1:28:05
mattered because I'm only ever around people at
1:28:07
this park. We're just barbecuing on our radiators. Yeah,
1:28:12
so Thrasher, nothing crazy to say
1:28:14
about it. Iconic covers just the best
1:28:16
skate magazine there was. Great font. Sick
1:28:19
hoodies. And
1:28:21
I'm not a purist. I don't
1:28:23
feel like, because people get mad
1:28:25
that the Thrasher logo is everywhere
1:28:27
now. The way I see it,
1:28:29
It helps skateboarding in general. Like if that
1:28:31
means that some people get more money for
1:28:33
being professional skaters, then I'm fine with it.
1:28:35
If that means that Thrasher gets more money
1:28:38
and could stay around longer in an in
1:28:40
-print magazine, which is going away, then I'm
1:28:42
fine with it. So I don't know. I
1:28:44
don't care about that stuff. Everybody go buy
1:28:46
a Thrasher shirt, support skateboarding. And the other
1:28:48
one, my fourth pick is a defunct magazine,
1:28:50
but it was absolutely the best is Big
1:28:52
Brother magazine. oh i saw the
1:28:54
documentary on it precursor to uh like
1:28:57
jackass right yeah that's where all the
1:28:59
jackass people met so big brother larry
1:29:01
flint uh of hustler fame but so
1:29:03
big brother started uh as a magazine
1:29:05
and then larry flint bought it and
1:29:07
then uh i think that started kind
1:29:09
of going downhill but it's where like
1:29:11
all the jackass people met they had
1:29:13
those videos like Uh, shit, shit, boob
1:29:16
and poop were their three videos they
1:29:18
made. And, uh, they were just like
1:29:20
jackass before jackass, like Johnny knock Phil
1:29:22
in the, in the shit video, like
1:29:24
shot himself point blank with a 45.
1:29:26
He did the, he got tased all
1:29:28
these things. And big brother was like,
1:29:30
we definitely shouldn't have been reading it.
1:29:33
There was no reason a kid should
1:29:35
have had big brother ever. Yes. Nudity.
1:29:37
There were so many, I mean, they
1:29:39
had the bong Olympics. They had all
1:29:41
they had horror stories too. They like,
1:29:43
People would write in and just tell
1:29:45
a horror story. I remember one specific.
1:29:47
I can't even say it. They were
1:29:49
they were just gross. They were super,
1:29:52
super gross. Stuff stuck in stuff. It
1:29:54
was fetish stuff. Fetish stuff when I
1:29:56
was way too young. And now I look
1:29:58
back and I'm like, I don't think
1:30:00
I think this person just wrote it in
1:30:02
for shock value. But I believed it
1:30:04
when I was, you know, 15. And it
1:30:07
was crazy. Like piss stuff that
1:30:09
Ben Roy's into? I'm trying to start this
1:30:11
rumor that Ben Roy is super into piss
1:30:13
stuff. I've been doing it on my podcast
1:30:15
a lot. But yeah, my buddy Ben Roy,
1:30:17
the comedian, is like big into piss stuff.
1:30:19
I had no idea. Yeah, it's weird. And
1:30:21
he's single, so like if you were into
1:30:23
him, that's his kink. I remember High Plains
1:30:25
last year. shame. He had me pee in
1:30:27
a Gatorade and he just poured it on
1:30:29
himself. It's what he's into. Yeah, Ben Roy,
1:30:31
the tattooed comic from Denver, super pissed stuff
1:30:33
guy. But go ahead, Sean. I wonder if
1:30:35
the judo crew knows that. I'm sure they
1:30:37
do. They shower together and shit. I'm sure
1:30:39
they all know that. Yeah, they all pee
1:30:41
all over. Anyway. Oh, Ben doesn't
1:30:43
come for me, by the way. It's all good,
1:30:45
buddy. he does, you're going to have to get my back. There's a quick way
1:30:47
to disarm him. Oh,
1:30:51
I peed my pants, Ben. Just hit him with the old
1:30:53
number one. Anyway,
1:30:56
yeah, Thrasher and Big Brother, just my
1:30:58
skateboard magazines, loved them. And yeah, we've
1:31:01
talked about skateboarding enough. Adam, time for
1:31:03
your fourth pick. Okay, my fourth pick
1:31:05
is not, doesn't mean much to me
1:31:07
at all, but every time that I
1:31:09
encounter it, I'm pretty happy to spend
1:31:11
some time with it. And it's usually
1:31:13
in a waiting room at an office
1:31:16
or whatever. Architectural Digest. Oh,
1:31:18
that's fun. I do not mind that
1:31:20
one fucking bit because it's always a waiting
1:31:22
room experience for me. And I'm like,
1:31:24
let's get into it. Let's see what people,
1:31:26
let's see how the rich are fucking
1:31:28
living. I want to check it. I want
1:31:30
to see some nice houses. I want
1:31:32
to see some living rooms. I just enjoy
1:31:34
flipping through that thing. It's so good.
1:31:36
Also great pictures and it's extra big. So
1:31:38
you can really like imagine you're in
1:31:41
the space. I love architectural digest. And it's,
1:31:43
there's some fantasy. You're like, yeah, if
1:31:45
I had, yes, I would do something like
1:31:47
this. Otherwise I'd be mad.
1:31:49
It's like, I'm just putting my, put
1:31:51
myself in these beautiful places. I'm not
1:31:53
thinking about how this Louisiana mansion costs
1:31:55
$14 million. Right. Or what blood money
1:31:57
earned it. Like, I don't give a
1:31:59
fuck. I just want to see this
1:32:01
house. Exactly. I like the, uh, the
1:32:04
AD like. tour of people's houses, just
1:32:06
like the new famous people cribs where
1:32:08
you're like, oh, this is your house.
1:32:10
It's fun. Like, yeah, I do want
1:32:12
to see where Jesse Tyler Ferguson, what
1:32:14
his loft looks like, you know? Dude,
1:32:17
I remember the last one I was
1:32:19
looking through, it was like right when Kendrick
1:32:21
Lamar and Drake were really starting to
1:32:23
beef. It was like it was right when
1:32:25
that was happening. I was in some
1:32:27
waiting room and there's an architectural digest. And
1:32:29
like I'm old. I got kids. I
1:32:31
don't listen to shit anymore. I know Kendrick's
1:32:34
fucking way better, but I didn't care.
1:32:36
I'm not invested in this. I'm just like
1:32:38
all these two people in pop culture
1:32:40
are beefing. I don't give a shit. But
1:32:42
then they had Drake's Toronto mansion and
1:32:44
I was looking at it and it was
1:32:46
so fucking awful. That I was just
1:32:48
like, okay, Kendrick, I'm team Kendrick. Off the
1:32:50
strength of your gaudy, cheesy ass, you
1:32:53
don't know what to do with your money,
1:32:55
you got no picked Kendrick based off
1:32:57
aesthetics alone. suck. Like, because of your stupid
1:32:59
ass Toronto mansion and that dumb ass
1:33:01
chandelier and your dumb marble stairway, I'm fucking
1:33:03
Kendrick Lamar, dog. I don't even need
1:33:05
to hear anything. Whatever gets you
1:33:07
there, Adam. And I landed
1:33:09
on the right side. I landed on the right
1:33:11
side. Oh, I wonder
1:33:13
what I would do. Like if I was
1:33:16
20 and I had that amount of money, I
1:33:18
would have had some crazy, some crazy shit.
1:33:20
it probably, yeah, wouldn't have been very cute. I
1:33:22
would have lost my life. I would have
1:33:24
too. After I decorated my house, I think all
1:33:26
the drugs probably would have ended me, but.
1:33:28
Yeah, like a lot of Scarface stuff, a lot
1:33:30
of Tupac stuff. It would have been it
1:33:33
would have been a diamond encrusted Scarface. Don't
1:33:36
you guys excuse Drake's horrible fucking choices
1:33:38
just because he was young and had
1:33:40
money. He's been around money long enough
1:33:42
to develop some fucking taste. Apparently Drake
1:33:45
is 38, which is a way too
1:33:47
old to be making golden toilet level
1:33:49
gaudy, ugly decisions. Exactly. I'm just trying
1:33:51
to think of like all the gaudy
1:33:53
stuff. money since Degrassi, homie. Right. Only
1:33:55
because it's not like a lotto. person
1:33:57
winning money. You don't have that level
1:34:00
of excuse for taste. You had time
1:34:02
to get some taste. I'm
1:34:04
picturing my death row dining room where every
1:34:06
chair is an electric chair. It's
1:34:08
all red. That
1:34:10
fucking holds up, buddy. That's still
1:34:12
cool. That's pretty cool. I've
1:34:16
never heard about this room. It was
1:34:18
a very ridiculous visual. I'm thinking about the
1:34:20
death row logo with the electric chair.
1:34:22
I'm like, I could have a whole dining
1:34:24
room like that. Every chair could be an
1:34:26
electric chair. When you turn on
1:34:28
the light, murder was the case starts playing every
1:34:30
day. I can't. I don't
1:34:32
have this anywhere. Pete Montequello, if you're
1:34:34
listening, send it to me. So one
1:34:36
time I wrapped murder was the case
1:34:39
and recorded and sent to this girl,
1:34:41
Tammy Jacobson. I wrapped. You sent murder
1:34:43
was the case. And
1:34:45
I remember I remember
1:34:47
listening to me like,
1:34:49
yeah, that sounds hard
1:34:51
as hell. I would
1:34:53
love to love. And
1:34:56
you were trying to woo this girl. This
1:34:58
was an overture of I like you. I
1:35:00
was in sixth grade and I did the
1:35:02
remix. So not the one on Doggy Style,
1:35:05
the one that he did for the movie,
1:35:07
like the remix or whatever. Of course. Yeah,
1:35:10
had you done Doggy Style, she'd
1:35:12
have been like, no thanks. Yeah,
1:35:14
what? No thanks. But I love
1:35:16
the idea that... You couldn't translate
1:35:18
enough to like a romantic feeling
1:35:20
that you were like, this shit
1:35:22
is hard. And that is what
1:35:24
a woman needs to feel to
1:35:26
kiss me. Is for her to
1:35:28
be like, yo, yo,
1:35:30
like that's what you want. Like,
1:35:33
what did you, I wonder, what did you think?
1:35:35
What did you think she was going to do
1:35:37
when she heard it? Like she was going to
1:35:39
be bopping her head. I don't know. I was,
1:35:41
I thought she was going to be so excited
1:35:43
that I memorized it. Honestly. Yeah.
1:35:46
Like this guy has access to
1:35:48
murder was the case. And I
1:35:50
remember specifically that the way he
1:35:52
goes, has a look up at
1:35:54
the sky. And I thought that
1:35:56
I was really, I really made
1:35:58
a meal out of it. Cause
1:36:00
I go, I was like, as
1:36:03
I look up at the sky,
1:36:05
the things that this talk boy
1:36:07
had to take in for you
1:36:09
to make this. Oh my God.
1:36:12
I'm innocent. And
1:36:15
then he's like, love you, Kaylee. Come by
1:36:17
my house if you like this. And it's
1:36:19
like stops. Acapella.
1:36:21
You know, I never really thought
1:36:23
about that. No track. No. Just
1:36:26
because also that means it took a while for
1:36:28
her to, if she knew the song, be like,
1:36:31
is this murder the case? Like she had
1:36:33
to listen to it enough. If she
1:36:35
didn't know the song, she thinks going to
1:36:37
fucking kill her. Out
1:36:39
of nowhere with no music in the
1:36:41
background. Spoken word. She
1:36:45
didn't. She just thought I wrote it that day.
1:36:49
Oh, my God. Sean Jordan wrote me a
1:36:51
really mean poem. I don't think I
1:36:53
want to sit next to him anymore. She
1:36:55
heard that song, and a year later,
1:36:57
she was on the cover of a Sports
1:36:59
Illustrated kids swimsuit edition. I just sent
1:37:01
her down the fucking road. Oh, my God.
1:37:04
Oh, my God.
1:37:06
And on that note, David, time for your fourth.
1:37:08
And wait. Oh, yeah. No, my fourth. My
1:37:11
fourth pick, I'm going to take
1:37:13
another sports magazine that I think started
1:37:15
when I was in high school. It
1:37:18
was it was like it quickly.
1:37:20
So it was like I like
1:37:22
Sports Illustrated. But when this came
1:37:24
out, it was like the younger,
1:37:26
sexier magazine. I'm taking ESPN. Yeah.
1:37:28
Oh, yeah. It was just kind
1:37:30
of cooler. It was like it
1:37:32
was like I feel like they
1:37:34
had just different athletes. It just
1:37:36
felt a lot less buttoned up.
1:37:38
you know what i mean than
1:37:40
sports illustrated yeah they position themselves
1:37:42
as like anti like the alternative
1:37:44
sports illustrated for sure they were
1:37:46
yeah they were coming out were
1:37:48
they sports spin it kind of
1:37:50
kind of because they didn't do
1:37:52
because you remember what they did
1:37:54
they didn't do the swimsuit issue
1:37:56
they had the body issue Totally.
1:37:58
And it would be like all
1:38:00
kinds of different athletes nude. Oh,
1:38:02
I remember those. They would have
1:38:04
like bigger people. And it was
1:38:06
like, it was really cool. Like
1:38:08
a shot. Yeah. Yeah. I
1:38:10
want to see Bo Jackson's delts.
1:38:13
Yeah. Show me those thighs
1:38:15
on a beach. I
1:38:17
remember Prince Fielder was on
1:38:20
the cover swinging a bat. You
1:38:22
remember? And he was. Yeah. But
1:38:24
yeah, ESPN magazine. It was just, it
1:38:26
was like, but it was monthly. So you
1:38:28
would read, you would read the SIs
1:38:30
in the middle to supplement. And then once
1:38:32
a month you would. And that one's
1:38:34
big too. Isn't it like wider? It is
1:38:36
big. Yeah, it was bigger. It was
1:38:38
a really big magazine just physically. Yeah.
1:38:41
Shout out to that. Yeah. ESPN magazine.
1:38:43
Man, print media. I miss, I miss
1:38:45
print media guys. It was very nice.
1:38:47
Like different sizes. You'd get excited. Like
1:38:49
look at this little, little. double digest
1:38:51
from Archie comics. Okay, what a cute
1:38:53
size. I missed the pacing of it
1:38:55
so we didn't have to watch the
1:38:57
news every fucking day. Yeah, dude. Yeah,
1:39:00
it was great. It was really, really
1:39:03
great. Is it coming back a little
1:39:05
bit? Just stuff? I mean, physical, tangible,
1:39:07
like physical media a little bit? I
1:39:09
don't think so, man. Like baby zines?
1:39:11
I know people that do zines, but
1:39:13
it's like on a very small scale
1:39:15
of like community, like music and you
1:39:17
know what I mean? Yeah. one
1:39:20
community of creatives but and like
1:39:22
you request and get it mailed to
1:39:24
you and stuff and it's fun but
1:39:26
not big DVDs and VHS it feels
1:39:28
like that stuff's kind of coming back
1:39:30
like cassettes a little bit where are
1:39:32
you that you feel like this he's
1:39:35
in the bottom of a fucking thrift
1:39:37
store dude yeah I'm in my own
1:39:39
happy little world a man tried to
1:39:41
represent himself with an AI lawyer the
1:39:43
other day and you think cassettes are
1:39:45
coming back what's happening Damn.
1:39:51
All right. That's amazing. to stay in my
1:39:53
bubble. I like it there. I
1:39:55
like it. it's good over there. Yeah,
1:39:58
man, ESPN. And Katrina, time
1:40:01
to close. You got your fourth and
1:40:03
your final picks. Okay. So, oh, yeah, since
1:40:05
they're back to back, I'll do this
1:40:07
one first and then the one that I'm
1:40:09
slightly more excited about. But this one,
1:40:11
another one I'm doing. because
1:40:14
so many of my other ones we've
1:40:16
taken, because they're all good, but Life
1:40:18
magazine, because that was another one. But
1:40:20
I feel like they showed gnarlier pictures.
1:40:23
That's like specifically what I took away from
1:40:25
life because I have I like the
1:40:27
big chronological books that life will do. Oh,
1:40:29
yeah. Those are great. Those are great.
1:40:31
And I feel like National Geographic shows you
1:40:33
the beauty and life shows you the
1:40:35
real shit. Like they'll do like a freeze
1:40:37
frame of somebody getting shot in the
1:40:40
face or something like. Yeah. So that was
1:40:42
another one that I. Yeah, like Kennedy
1:40:44
getting assassinated is on the cover of Life.
1:40:46
Yes! And so I used to look
1:40:48
at those when I was little and be
1:40:50
like, you believe it happened, I don't
1:40:52
believe it. But if you believe it happened.
1:40:54
They have the doctor damage on the
1:40:56
front of one. Yeah. But
1:40:59
yeah, that's another. Those gnarly, like
1:41:01
the ones where you're like, damn, photographers
1:41:03
are in there too. Yes. They
1:41:05
were also in the war. And that's
1:41:07
kind of what the big books
1:41:09
will talk about is sometimes like the
1:41:11
people that took the picture or
1:41:13
where they were, how close they were,
1:41:15
that kind of stuff. So yeah,
1:41:17
that was my other National Geographic pick.
1:41:19
And then my last pick, I
1:41:21
feel like I've accidentally been harping on
1:41:23
just because I've been bringing up
1:41:25
sizes and fonts, but Communication Arts Magazine
1:41:27
is very that is. There's
1:41:29
no reason for you to. I literally
1:41:31
only know about it because of
1:41:33
work, but it's like for graphic designers
1:41:35
and topographers and people that do
1:41:37
things with like lettering and spacing and
1:41:39
like digital graphics. And
1:41:42
I love it. And it's also
1:41:44
wide set. Like it's a really
1:41:46
big, like large wide set publication
1:41:48
and they have great visuals, but
1:41:50
I like it for the nuance
1:41:52
of it because it's a place
1:41:54
I can read about things that
1:41:56
I feel stupid about in real
1:41:58
life because they don't actually matter.
1:42:00
Like the other day, there was
1:42:02
something I saw on Instagram about
1:42:04
people are trying to stop using
1:42:06
capital letters now. What? Like
1:42:08
younger people are coming into like
1:42:11
jobs in social media and saying
1:42:13
that like posts do better when
1:42:15
there's no capital letters. Some people
1:42:17
feel like it's too aggressive. Some
1:42:19
people see it as like their
1:42:21
rebellion against authority that like you
1:42:23
have to write this certain way.
1:42:26
a yee coming shit. Yeah, right. And
1:42:28
that's what a lot of people were
1:42:30
like, Black feminists have been doing this
1:42:32
since the 60s, whatever. But there were
1:42:34
people that are also younger people coming
1:42:37
into the workforce that have to write
1:42:39
are saying that like... basically feeling like
1:42:41
I feel like it's intense to like
1:42:43
use capital letters and I feel like
1:42:45
you're shouting at me at the beginning
1:42:47
of every sentence right and so I
1:42:49
had such staunch feelings about the way
1:42:51
your brain works and needs to break
1:42:53
up things to read them properly as
1:42:55
sentences and things that I was like
1:42:57
I can't I can't comment on this
1:43:00
on Instagram but I feel like communication
1:43:02
arts will do a piece on it
1:43:04
that makes me feel seen at some
1:43:06
point in the next month interesting okay I
1:43:09
almost exclusively use capital letters. I
1:43:11
write in all caps. I
1:43:14
sign my name in all caps? Yeah,
1:43:16
like if I leave a note, you look
1:43:18
like you're in danger, but also you
1:43:20
paid attention. You can read it, dude. Good
1:43:22
luck with an R and an N.
1:43:24
They're the same thing if they're lowercase to
1:43:26
me. I've been cutting letters out of
1:43:28
different magazines and pasting them on paper. With
1:43:33
little riddles on it. You guys don't do
1:43:35
that? That's how I communicate. Man,
1:43:38
that would be tight. Adam's going through
1:43:40
wheat paste by the gallon over there. If
1:43:43
you guys know a source, I
1:43:45
am hemorrhaging cash on that wheat paste.
1:43:48
No, I got a plug, actually. Oh,
1:43:51
that's tight. Oh, my God. Wait, Katrina,
1:43:53
can I tell you one grammar thing?
1:43:55
Because I think you'll appreciate it. I
1:43:57
was a writer for a newspaper for
1:43:59
five years. And when I was coming
1:44:01
up writing as a kid, at the
1:44:03
end of every sentence, you'd hit period
1:44:06
and you'd space twice. I've
1:44:08
heard about this. That was the way
1:44:10
you did it. I've
1:44:12
heard about your generation healing from
1:44:14
this. Please keep going. I
1:44:16
went to a proper newspaper. I'm
1:44:18
a writer now. I'm turning in copy
1:44:20
every fucking day. And after about
1:44:22
a month, this woman, Jane Lee, the
1:44:24
copy editor, this sweet lady. Came
1:44:27
into my cubicle and she's like, dog,
1:44:29
we got to fucking talk. Like
1:44:31
I've been going through and undeleting one
1:44:33
space after every one of your
1:44:35
fucking words. Yeah. This doesn't happen in
1:44:37
real life. I don't know why
1:44:39
your generation got this fucking weird. I
1:44:42
don't know who hurt you, but you
1:44:44
don't need this many spaces. That's so funny.
1:44:46
Got it. And I never was taught
1:44:48
that, but I've seen memes of other typographers
1:44:50
that are like, you don't have to
1:44:52
do two spaces anymore. Like it's okay. The
1:44:54
healing can begin. And I was like,
1:44:57
what are they talking about? I
1:44:59
don't know why it ever started, but it was
1:45:01
just like learned it right now. I thought I've been
1:45:03
doing that my whole life. I just learned right
1:45:05
now that you're not supposed to do that. I wonder
1:45:07
if it was a typewriter thing. Cause I used
1:45:09
to play on a typewriter a lot when I was
1:45:11
little too. Are the spaces smaller on a typewriter
1:45:13
or something? Like why? But I, I was never taught
1:45:15
that, but I do know that it's a thing.
1:45:17
Yeah. That's crazy. I'm to ask my wife after this.
1:45:19
I thought I for real to tell Sean, you
1:45:21
and I are about the same age, dude. Yeah. Our
1:45:23
generation all did this and had to like, no,
1:45:26
I didn't do that. They never taught
1:45:28
us that in like computer class. We
1:45:30
never got taught to do two spaces.
1:45:32
I do remember in, it would have
1:45:34
been sixth grade typing class. This was
1:45:36
so weird. Sixth grade typing class, even
1:45:38
though we had computers, we had to
1:45:40
do it on typewriters. There were typewriters
1:45:43
in the back. They were like, these
1:45:45
newfangled machines won't last. They got to
1:45:47
know how to work on the real
1:45:49
stuff. I don't know, because even at
1:45:51
the time, it was a very dated
1:45:53
technology. We had to take out. There
1:45:55
was a bunch of typewriters in the
1:45:57
back. They gave you like your typewriter
1:45:59
with. your number so you were always
1:46:01
27 or whatever and they would when
1:46:03
you would do the test they would
1:46:06
tape a piece of paper on top
1:46:08
of it and you would put your
1:46:10
fingers under that too with the you
1:46:12
doing home keys or whatever yeah so
1:46:14
weird man our kids are gonna think
1:46:16
we're old as fuck the things we're
1:46:18
gonna have the neural link they're not
1:46:20
gonna what the typing what are you
1:46:22
talking about you're right what the fuck
1:46:24
is qwerty Is
1:46:28
that the name of your chip
1:46:31
for sixth grade? I don't understand. Yeah,
1:46:33
I don't understand. Home key. Yeah,
1:46:36
fucking who knows? But that's it.
1:46:38
I like that. All right.
1:46:40
Number five, playboy. It's me or
1:46:42
Dave, David. I got it.
1:46:44
I got to do it. I got
1:46:46
it. You know, I just it was important.
1:46:48
Somebody had to put out in a
1:46:50
butt magazine. I take King magazine. Oh,
1:46:53
that's a good one, though. It
1:46:55
never made it out of the store. Maya
1:46:58
is one that comes
1:47:00
to my mind is a
1:47:02
game changer. Martin Luther
1:47:04
King magazine? Yeah. He
1:47:07
probably liked it. Oh, MLK
1:47:10
of the world. King
1:47:12
magazine. Seems like
1:47:14
it would have been up his alley. He
1:47:16
wouldn't have been against it. This is a
1:47:18
fine publication. just Googled it because I don't.
1:47:23
I've never done a Martin Luther King
1:47:25
impression before. I'm so sorry. That's
1:47:28
where you started was him reading King
1:47:30
magazine. This is a new character
1:47:32
for you, Katrina. King
1:47:34
on King.
1:47:37
Welcome back to King on King. If
1:47:40
you go to the Wikipedia page
1:47:42
and look up King magazine, the
1:47:44
first cover is Rosa Acosta on
1:47:46
the cover of the winter 2010
1:47:48
issue. Holy cow. They
1:47:51
were all holy cow. one of the only
1:47:53
pictures you can even see on Wikipedia. I
1:47:56
don't think King even had
1:47:58
articles with words. Seven year run,
1:48:00
King magazine. Oh, man. They
1:48:02
went for it. That's all we
1:48:04
needed. Yeah, there was
1:48:07
a Foxy Brown that was a pretty
1:48:09
big one. Oh, that's hilarious. I'm
1:48:11
pretty sure it's King. My friend had
1:48:13
for the save screen on her
1:48:15
phone. for upwards of five
1:48:17
years was Stacey Dash, I think, on the
1:48:19
front of King magazine. That was a
1:48:21
big one. That was a big one. King
1:48:23
brought people back that you didn't know. Got
1:48:26
stacked like that. Yeah, where you
1:48:28
were like, wait, what the fuck? Wait,
1:48:30
like that's Stacey Dash? Yeah, they
1:48:32
had like a remember her issue. No,
1:48:34
that's why the Maya one really
1:48:36
sticks out. Yeah,
1:48:38
King magazine, we all had butt mags. I
1:48:40
don't know. I don't think there were any words
1:48:43
in it. There didn't need to be. Because
1:48:45
it was King XXL. Yeah. Is that
1:48:47
it? What's another? XXL wasn't a butt
1:48:49
magazine. If XXL was a rat magazine,
1:48:51
they just also had a lot of
1:48:53
butt. Is it music? Yeah,
1:48:55
it's music. Oh, I thought
1:48:57
XXL was like butt. Okay. I
1:48:59
mean the name. Yeah. There's
1:49:01
also Black Tail, but that's maybe
1:49:03
a deeper. That's specific. That
1:49:05
almost sounds like a shampoo. It's
1:49:08
not. It is not.
1:49:10
It is not. If
1:49:15
you look it up, it says King Mag.
1:49:18
They don't even go with a zine. I don't
1:49:20
think it was a zine. It's
1:49:22
a mag, dude. It's
1:49:24
a straight up mag. Oh,
1:49:26
man. Oh, Adam. I
1:49:29
mean, if David's taking it there,
1:49:31
I'll keep it going down Horndog Lane.
1:49:33
When you got that Victoria's Secrets
1:49:35
catalog in the mail. It was an
1:49:38
event. Brother, I was just telling
1:49:40
somebody the other day, I think from
1:49:42
97 to 03, my mom never
1:49:44
got one that made it to her
1:49:46
hands. 100%. She never
1:49:48
got to order those negligees. She doesn't
1:49:50
know what's in there. You knew when
1:49:52
it was. was like the mail in
1:49:54
Goodfellas. Victoria's Secret season was coming.
1:49:56
You knew. You were like, okay, I feel like
1:49:58
it's spring. There's a new one. It wasn't every month.
1:50:00
It was probably like every three months. Yeah, I
1:50:02
think it was quarterly. I would throw some grass up
1:50:04
in the air and watch the wind blow. Victoria's
1:50:07
Secret's coming. He kneels
1:50:09
down and tastes the dirt. Kids.
1:50:13
Hey, gang. It's coming tomorrow.
1:50:15
So get the man before your
1:50:18
parents get home. It's coming tomorrow. It
1:50:20
sure is shit. I'm
1:50:22
sick. I'm going to be by the mailbox
1:50:24
all day. I think I've got the flu. I
1:50:26
got us through some tough times. I only
1:50:28
feel good out there. Slipping through your mom's hands
1:50:31
like a satin robe. Dude, I
1:50:33
can remember opening it. It was like stapled.
1:50:35
I remember sliding my fingers, trying like not
1:50:37
to rip it. I remember all of it.
1:50:39
Like Tyra Banks had a great run. Tyra
1:50:42
Banks, she was the queen
1:50:44
of Victoria's Secret. Yeah. And
1:50:46
Sports Illustrated, too. Wasn't she
1:50:48
for a second? She was on
1:50:50
the cover for sure, but
1:50:52
yeah. Really enjoyed their work. Really
1:50:55
enjoyed everything about the mag. Hated
1:50:57
going in there. Hated going in there
1:50:59
with my mom at the mall. Oh, because
1:51:01
then what is the problem then? Why
1:51:04
is that not fun to see the thongs
1:51:06
in real life? Because I'm in there
1:51:08
with my mom. Oh, okay,
1:51:10
okay, okay. Yeah, going
1:51:12
in the store was never the...
1:51:15
The experience you wanted. Even
1:51:18
if we were at that part of JCPenney's
1:51:20
where you're like, can I just go look
1:51:22
at that? Can I go play the Tony
1:51:25
Hawk demo? I can't be in here. I
1:51:28
can't be around all these bloomers. I'm
1:51:31
going to hide inside of this circular clothing
1:51:33
rack for an hour. Oh man, those were
1:51:35
fun to get in though. Yeah, just climb
1:51:37
in there. It was like
1:51:39
a little city in there. You could
1:51:41
just hang out and watch ankles. Yeah. Scare
1:51:44
the shit out of people. Oh, my
1:51:46
gosh. There's this one's taken. My bad. My
1:51:48
bad. Oh, shit. Yeah. Victoria's
1:51:54
Secrets catalog. Thank you for your
1:51:56
service. Me and many people of my
1:51:58
generation really, really appreciate your work.
1:52:00
And there's a lot of looks in
1:52:02
a Victoria's Secret catalog. Yeah. Like
1:52:04
as well as even to shop it.
1:52:06
There's a lot of stuff in
1:52:08
there. No, they got they understand. It's
1:52:10
a cornucopia. Well,
1:52:13
I mean, I suppose if we're going down
1:52:15
that route, I'll keep it horny too. And I'm
1:52:17
going to pick Nintendo power for my last
1:52:19
pick. Yes. I looked at,
1:52:21
I almost picked Sega. Yeah.
1:52:24
There was a Sega magazine. There was a Sega
1:52:26
magazine. Like I was just looking at old magazines and
1:52:28
I was like, I can't do this one, but
1:52:30
Sonic was on the front. And I was like, if
1:52:32
I would have known this existed, I definitely would
1:52:34
have been with this. Dude. I mean,
1:52:36
Nintendo power. I just, it was so mind boggling.
1:52:38
Cause way before. the internet or anything. They
1:52:40
would have the whole stage mapped out in a
1:52:42
line on like a double page spread. They'd
1:52:44
be like, here's this entire world. Here's where all
1:52:46
the secrets are. Here's how you beat it.
1:52:48
I mean, it was just crazy. They'd have all
1:52:50
of the, they'd show you all the levels.
1:52:53
So even the levels I couldn't get to in
1:52:55
like Contra or whatever, they would show you
1:52:57
what they look like or Altered Beast. It would
1:52:59
just get you so excited to get to
1:53:01
that level. I don't know. It was just the
1:53:03
first like real motivation I had in life
1:53:05
was Nintendo Power being like, this is how you
1:53:07
do it. Uh, I, I loved
1:53:09
it. I loved it so much. I, that
1:53:11
was, I had a subscription to that. They
1:53:13
had like a yearly secrets guide you could
1:53:15
get. It was just, yeah, it was, it
1:53:17
was icy. I imagine it's
1:53:19
not around anymore, but very fun
1:53:21
for your boy. And that,
1:53:23
uh, that does it. That's all the
1:53:26
picks. Isaac, before we, uh, before we recap,
1:53:28
do you have any, Oh, Isaac's pension.
1:53:30
There he goes. I'm here. All
1:53:32
right. What do you got? What's, what's,
1:53:34
uh, Magazine, you're too young. I did
1:53:36
not grow up reading a lot of
1:53:38
magazines. It's a little bit before my
1:53:40
time, but Slam Magazine, I do remember.
1:53:43
Oh, sure. Yeah. Gigantic
1:53:46
basketball fan. It
1:53:48
could have been a horny
1:53:50
one. I
1:53:53
can trace your logic there, how
1:53:55
you got to that being a horny
1:53:57
one. It's the Janet Jackson cover,
1:54:00
but just basketballs. She's
1:54:02
just Shaq back with shake -em -up
1:54:04
fries. Just Shaq's hands holding two basketballs.
1:54:08
Shaq's hands completely covering Janet Jackson.
1:54:10
Her whole face. Shaq's
1:54:12
hands and her whole body. Oh,
1:54:16
I'm too big. Put one on top, one on
1:54:18
bottom. Why
1:54:21
am I imitating so many black men today?
1:54:23
We got Shaq and MLK out of you today.
1:54:26
This is great. Yeah,
1:54:29
Slam Magazine. That was dope. Before we
1:54:31
recap, anything on the board? I mean,
1:54:33
we left off People, Time.
1:54:36
Oh, I didn't think about Time.
1:54:38
That's a good, like, important as a human
1:54:40
one. Essence and Ebony. If
1:54:43
you got Jed, I was going
1:54:45
to pick Ebony. No one
1:54:47
took the main horny one. Playboy.
1:54:51
I never really looked at it. It also was
1:54:53
like a magazine you didn't like get like
1:54:55
that. Or for me, you know what I mean?
1:54:57
It was like you'd see whatever. The horny
1:54:59
one that I had was Maxim. That's what I
1:55:01
thought. I was waiting for someone to make
1:55:04
me feel. And I didn't I just didn't want
1:55:06
to have even though going to go into
1:55:08
now. It just I did read the articles. They
1:55:10
were cool. They were interesting because they would.
1:55:12
I don't know. I can't even remember anything specifically.
1:55:14
How to make a kegerator, whatever. We're like,
1:55:16
okay, all right, I'll read that. Maxim
1:55:18
did visually intimidate me as a young woman
1:55:20
because it was just like, I'm never going
1:55:22
to be that wet. They were always just
1:55:24
so... They're sopping wet. It was insane. Just
1:55:26
damp and angry, but like no one seems
1:55:29
upset. It was just like, I'm never going
1:55:31
to be this woman. standing in the shower
1:55:33
like, how are they wetter in the shower?
1:55:35
If Maxim never happened, Joe Rogan never
1:55:38
happens. I don't know. I can trace
1:55:40
that. Oh, I think somehow. There
1:55:42
was like an empowering of dumb bros
1:55:44
and Max. There was the man show
1:55:46
Avenue, which I think Max was probably
1:55:48
like every Maxim girl. Like if you
1:55:50
didn't make Maxim, you just directly pipeline
1:55:52
to being a girl on a trampoline.
1:55:55
Yeah. Yeah. It also like Maxim. It
1:55:57
was like a had a it only
1:55:59
really had one kind of lady. Oh,
1:56:01
yeah. Fair enough. I could see that. Like
1:56:03
just from the covers. Like, I always felt with
1:56:06
Maxim 2, was like, I don't even think
1:56:08
this is for me. Yeah,
1:56:10
yeah. Not enough king energy?
1:56:13
Just, it's just like, not, it was
1:56:15
just for frat dudes, is what
1:56:17
it felt like. Oh, that does, yeah,
1:56:19
it does seem like that. It
1:56:21
was like a very specific one type
1:56:23
of dude even. They had like
1:56:25
fraternity and sorority issues, I think, that
1:56:27
were more so farther down that
1:56:30
street. I didn't go to college, so
1:56:32
I was already like, I'm over
1:56:34
here. I'm on my lunch
1:56:36
break at work. I just got to thumb
1:56:38
through this King and get back. Yeah, King
1:56:40
had a GED edition that was out of
1:56:42
control. King had
1:56:44
like best places to take
1:56:46
your smoke break. Just fucking
1:56:48
tretch. yeah
1:56:52
anyway also Hemispheres or Sky Mall I
1:56:54
just those those were always fun they're
1:56:56
not around anymore but those are like
1:56:58
the Plane Magazine catalogs or whatever you
1:57:00
know I love Sky Mall is another
1:57:02
place that I did enjoy imaginary shopping
1:57:05
when it was stuck back there yeah
1:57:07
Sharper Image oh GQ Finger Hut Esquire
1:57:09
Esquire yeah all that kind of stuff
1:57:11
damn well Let me recap before we
1:57:13
get out of here. The Atlantic's great.
1:57:15
There's lots of good stuff. I was
1:57:17
thinking about George, but I wasn't smart
1:57:19
enough to ever read it. I just
1:57:22
remember it being a big deal when
1:57:24
it came out. I don't
1:57:26
even know what that is. George Quarterly.
1:57:28
It was like a political magazine that one
1:57:30
of the Kennedys started, but it didn't
1:57:32
last that long. But I remember when it
1:57:34
came out, it was one died in
1:57:36
the plane crash. Oh, really? Okay. It was
1:57:38
his magazine. Okay. My stepdad
1:57:40
would read The Economist sometimes. Yeah. Or
1:57:42
The Week. The Week's a pretty good
1:57:45
one. What's that? Just like everything that's
1:57:47
going on in the world that week.
1:57:49
It's still, it's legit. It's a good
1:57:51
one. I'd look into that. It's Economist
1:57:53
adjacent. Is it like The Daily as
1:57:55
a magazine? Yes. I'd look into that.
1:57:57
