So well, you grew up in Irvine, Yes, Irvine, California, Irvine, California, which is southern California. Yes, and there are a lot of But I like that you said it just alone, as if the world would know. Where do you think most people might not know? Yeah? Yeah, I know that some people like rage against some Machines. Zach Larroco were from there. It was that and it seems like around the same year as you was that. Did you know those guys when you were in high school? So so here's a crazy another crazy s and L. Sorry oh sorry, Jonah, no please. My first year on the show, so ninety five ninety six season and Tim and Zach who I went to high school, Tim Comerford, who was in my class. Zach was a year below us. Okay, Tim had been playing in bands on the set and the other and then next thing I know, they're part of this band that everyone's talking about called Rage Against the Machine and we're on the same show together. Wow, And it was like our It was in that first half of the season, so within the first nine shows, and we were laughing, going like, how crazy is this. We're on SNL these three guys from Irvine. That's unbelievable, very cool. Did you ever see Zack's band before that? Inside I'm a music journalistic, like he had this band inside out? Did you ever saw? Okay, no, but I think Tim was part. I did watch Tim form with a band called Crystal Pistol. Okay, I haven't heard of that, but I'll have to check that out. Yeah, which I believe is a reference to a penis. I don't know. I feel like that's maybe something that you cooked. I'm just kidding. That's Vanessa's out of the conversation. Yeah, he was just playing in and I didn't even know Zach was into music. Really. I just remember Zach as like a skateboarder guy and we'd probably pick up basketball. Yeah, and then next I know he's this amazing lead singer. And then full circle, Tom Morillo has become a friend through our kids' school. Wow. So, oh my gosh, that's crazy. Okay, that's incredible crazy wow. Wow. Well we are again, like, so, how are you guys feeling about the new setup here? Again, this is only our second podcast. I'm used to doing this in a room in my house. Yeah. Yeah, so this is a little more involved, but it feels good for our listeners. They've set up two luxurious couches. Yes, yes, I'm on more of a love seat. Yeah. You guys are on a full couch of the same with some throw pillows, some throws. Yeah, we're just hanging. So we're just hanging. Yeah, yeah, super chi kind of a chill, kind of kind of like friends in a friends in an office office and abandon couches in it, Yeah, in it and some equipment and some audio equipment. Just just pretend it's not you know, I don't even see it. Or well, look here's how it's gonna go. Another commercial. Everybody, keep it going, keep it going. So we've asked you to bring in a topic today. You gave us several. Yeah, and the one that we picked, right is Scooby Doo. Yes, okay, to kind of talk about, to kind of riff on. Yeah, okay, so what does Scooby do I'm about to rhyme here mean to you? You know? Yeah, I didn't. I don't see that coming. It's thrown me. I huge Saturday Morning cartoon junkie kid, right, and Scooby I just between the solving of the mysteries, which were super scary in my brain at that time, and the suspension of disbelief every week, yes that maybe they weren't going to solve it. Yeah they still did, Yeah, but somehow, like I kept coming back for more and just the camaraderie. Yeah. Fred's ascot right, right, you were an ascot scarf. Yeah, and you liked that I loved his style. Yeah, I think I had a crush on Vela Velma yes. And then just you know, Shaggy. I don't know so much about Shaggy was weird to me. Yeah, like why he was allowed to hang around. Yeah, I don't know he needed to. I don't know where his skill set was. His best friend was a dog. Yeah, but still but you know, okay, yeah, that's cool of them. Yeah, do all the hard work. Yeah, but yeah, I just love it was just my favorite cartoon. Yeah. Yeah. And what was that? And the Mystery Machine, which was their van? They traveled around it right right, right, right right, which I drove a van in high school that was similar to the Mystery Machine. My dad had a Chevy van that I would sometimes use as my car to drive to high school, which had you guys won't know what this. It was a manual transmission. But it's called three on a tree. It's just three gears. It's up here. Okay, you got the clutch, but you're shifting. He just hauled his music equipment around. And it was a windowless van. This doesn't sound good, no, But the Mystery Machine I don't think had windows either. Was it really cool? That when you would drive that van tour. Because I remember being in high school and kids who had cars like that. It was like we were all like, we got to get in that car. It was cool because it was kind of beat up, yeah, and a little bit a little bit vengacie. I hung out with a group of friends who liked doing weird stuff, so we celebrated the nonconformist kind of thing. While all these young Irvine suburban kids had brand new cars. I had this beat up yeah equipment van that became cool banana yellow. Yes. Yeah. There was a kid in your grade, Jonah, who had like a big yellow truck, YEP truck, and it was like the coolest thing. Like I grew up kind of your Molly in near Shaker, and we both did, and and there were a lot of kids who had these really nice cars, but I feel like that yellow yeah truck was like I had a lot of bumper stickers on my car, like just covered with band We actually would sneak bumper stickers on each other's cars to mess, Okay, Like I would come out and there just be a US Marines bumper stickers on the back of the other Cardro, which was a beat up VW bug Okay, yeah, they got me. So we'd have bumpers really funny. Yeah. Jonah drove a Jetta and it was like we would drive in to school and he would be like blasting no effects and stuff and felt but I felt so cool. Believe it or not. I wasn't very punk in high school. That's hard to believe, Jonah. And so I'd come in like so studious and all my books, but we'd be blasting, like you know you got a little street credit, yeah, and I'd feel like, I guess I'm getting out of my brother's car. I was probably sometimes annoyed because we were late, but like I was, I was like so like I felt like it was such a cool way to show up to school, you know, like whatever, I guess I'm just listening to this punk music and that but scooted back to Scooby Doo music. They always have a music montage. Oh yeah, yeah, I was thought that was so cool. Yeah, do you remember like being a kid on Saturday mornings and watching it or like do you have a memory of what that? I just knew I was like early Riser. Yeah, I would get it, and there was just kind of a lineup between like Scooby Doo, Sigment and the Sea Monster okay, and Johnny Quest. Yeah. It was a big Saturday morning part. Yeah. Here's where I was also a weird. My younger brother, though, still wouldn't wake up before I would, okay. And I loved playing Monopoly okay by myself because the whole house was still sleeping. Yeah. And so I would set up the board and i'd play, and then when it wasn't my turn, I'd sneak into my mom's room and I would move her piece. I'd set up for two players, okay, I would be you know, the dog or the guitar or the shoe or whatever. I'd move around the board and then what was the other person's certain I roll for them they'd land on and so I'd go into my mom's or like, Mom, yes or no? On park place. She'd been like what, just say yes or no. She'd be like no, ok, which means she didn't want to buy it. Yeah, I whole rounds of playing until everyone finally woke up. What a patient kid. The patience? Yeah, did you find like having that money? We played kind of a lot of Monopoly in our house and I remember just like the feeling of having a lot of that money just truly made me feel rich and like, I just it was hard for me to like give up that money. I have a money story too, I have two money stories, right, so yes, I can totally identify with it. And I always felt like we were running out of five five hundred dollar bills. Yeah there was in plenty of hundreds, but the five hundreds would go through quickly. Okay, okay, maybe there were less. Yeah. There was a neighborhood across the street from the apartment complex I grew up in was Damber Drugs, and I was walking through the toy section one day. You could buy refills of Monopoly money. I've never heard of that. Wow, let's just say the only time I've ever shoplifted. I took a stack of five hundreds. I stole fake money, and I put in my pocket and I walked out really stiffly. I'm sure if there was a camera, I'd be like the worst kid actor. Very I'm just I'm walking out of the drug store. No, no need to look over here. And then I ran home and I stole Monopoly money to add to our games. We had plenty of five hundreds. Oh my god, and you still remember it? You still, of course I still remember. What a big yeah. And then I brought I didn't realize we're gonna be talking about money, But is this the other story? I brought my favorite Christmas present that I got this year from my wife. It's a little at a shakecase. Guess what, It's filled with tiny stacks of money. Everyone here in the room. That's like ten grand at least she got this worry. That's such a great Yeah, and you keep it on your person. I just thought, maybe we'll talk about this today. Maybe there's will be a good reason for me to show you guys, Yeah, you knew you're meeting with the bears, money might come out. And then and then that relates to snla because when I met Lauren, because I had read a story about how Adam Sandler did something where he just pretended to hump a chair or something and was signed on the spot. Okay, And I remember reading that going, you know what, he didn't worry about pleasantries or he just was like funny right away and they signed him and that's the way to do it. Yeah, And so I thought if and I knew I had to meet Lauren for my second audition. It was a meeting before you, and I thought, I'm going to walk in with a briefcase. I'm going to fill it full of fake counterfeit money, and as he's talking to me, I'm just going to go, like, Lauren, we can all talk till the cows come home, but we all know there's only one thing that really talks, and it's hard gold cash. And I was going to open it up and set it on his desk, and then I was gonna like, so I'm gonna walk out of this room, and no one needs to know. You can take that money or you don't have to whatever, and you can decide whether I should be on this show or not. So I walked into the room and Steve Higgins had just been hired as a producer with a brief comedian walks into a room with a briefcase, a leather briefcase. It wasn't even a cool looking one. And I walk in. I can tell the vibe is not for joking around, and it was super serious and I was like, oh my god, I got so freaked out and I never got to my bit. So I'm just holding a briefcase. Did he ask you what it was? What a funny thing? Ever? A weird, shy quiet It's supposed to be funny, Like I'm supposed to be humping a chair. My inspiration was gonna go, hump a chair is something active? And I'm just like, uh huh, well I was thinking about doing this character. I wouldn't do that. Oh okay. Finally, after twenty minutes, Higgins goes, nice briefcase. I'm like, yeah, thanks, it's like anything else you want to ask me, I'm like no, I walked out and I never knew. I told him later and he thought it was so funny that I couldn't pull the trigger on the bit. So anyway,
