Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from howstuffworks.com.
Josh
Hey and welcome to the podcast. I’m Josh Clark, with me with Charles W. Chuck, Chucker’s I love you Bryant.
Chuck
You’re saying that or that’s my middle name?
Josh
Who cares?
Chuck
I love everybody.
Josh
Sure.
Chuck
Okay.
Josh
I’m in high spirits today Chuck. Things are moving, stuff is taking place, things are coming to fruition.
Chuck
This is out of nowhere because you were not feeling this way like literally seconds before we recorded.
Josh
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Chuck
Wow, I’m impressed dude. You can turn it on.
Josh
You know why Chuck?
Chuck
Well I can tell because you’re drinking your little energy drink.
Josh
Yes, I would call it an energy soda.
Chuck
You little dream sailor.
Josh
Yeah, you really liked that podcast, didn’t you?
Chuck
I thought it was good. My favorite part was when we mentioned the doctor in Berkeley when you said, vavoom or roar or something like that.
Josh
Yeah.
Chuck
That was funny.
Josh
Yeah, thanks. I thought I liked all the nose breathing I did in that podcast for some reason.
Chuck
Maybe we should just sit around talk about our whole podcast.
Josh
Hey Chuck.
Chuck
Hey Josh.
Josh
You did some time out in L.A., right?
Chuck
Yeah.
Josh
So I know that you met Matthew McConaughey.
Chuck
You loved that story.
Josh
And Keifer Sutherland’s driver?
Chuck
Yeah and him, I saw him in the grocery store too.
Josh
With his driver?
Chuck
No, with -
Josh
How did you know it was him then?
Chuck
A buxom blonde babe actually.
Josh
Gotcha.
Chuck
It was Keifer Sutherland you know I mean it’s unmistakable.
Josh
Gotcha.
Chuck
He’s mouth breathing behind me in line.
Josh
We’re gonna get in trouble one day for that.
Chuck
I know. He’s a hot head too. He just got sued, he like hit a photographer or somebody.
Josh
Did he really?
Chuck
Yeah, so watch your back.
Josh
Plus he knows his way around a gun.
Chuck
Yes he does.
Josh
And he’s ruthless as I understand it from what I’ve seen on TV.
Chuck
I know what you’re about to ask me about Los Angeles.
Josh
I know you do because we’re doing How Earthquakes Work, so Chuck let’s just cut to the chase, shall we?
Chuck
I have never felt and earthquake out there.
Josh
Nor have I.
Chuck
I was out there for four years dude, and I was there when earthquakes happened and I never realized it and felt anything. Friends of mine would be like, dude did you feel that this morning?
