  • Started creating Vines in a dark, anxious headspace.
  • Sudden fame led to new opportunities (big brand deals, agents) but also isolation, criticism, and the constant pressure to appear perfect.

    “LA is so fake… people have pretended to be my friend to use me or get out of me… it’s heartbreaking.” – [93:20]

• Their favorite songs:
  • Brittany: “Fake Plastic Trees”
  • Josh: “Planet Telex,” but also high praise for “Fake Plastic Trees,” “Street Spirit,” and more.
• Final thoughts on Radiohead and The Bends:
  • The album’s brilliance lies in its ability to make you feel – confusion, sadness, hope.
  • Radiohead, like relationships, doesn’t need to make sense; it just has to make you feel something.

    "They don’t have to make sense, they just have to make you feel something." – Josh [140:26]

Closing – Uplifting, Candid, and Funny

The episode ends on a note both cathartic and hilarious, with closing stories about Tommy Lee, plastic surgery rumors, perfect anatomy, and mutual admiration.

Final sentiment:
The Bends is more than an album to Josh and Brittany—it’s a mirror for their darkest and most transformative years. In their unfiltered, tangential way, they show why Radiohead’s music, and deep friendships, endure: “They make you feel everything – whether you like it or not.” [140:29]

Dude, we're doing the relaunch at the final hundred. We want everybody to join in. I know 500 was scary. These are the hundred greatest albums in the history of mankind ever recorded off of the Rolling Stone magazine list of 500 greatest albums. I don't know if we agree with everyone, but I agree with the album that we have today. But that's besides the point. Have you been watching the podcast, everybody? Because it's on YouTube. YouTube.com backslash the 500 podcast. And if you subscribe to the Patreon, you can support Code Red. Emily Kagan, who books all the incredible guests. JT in some country that I don't even know. I think it's Ibiza or maybe Hawaii. Now fucking Alex, who does my scripts and does a production when we are in the zoom world. And me, I'm on the road. Not this weekend, but next weekend. I will be with Big J Okerson because I'm helping him write on the Kevin Hart roast. So we're going to be up in Providence, Rhode Island. It's Big J headlining, but I'm going to hang out. Then I'm doing Netflix as a joke. Not this show. May 4th, me, Big J Okerson, Bill Burr, Nikki Glazer, Adam Ray, Brad Williams, Josh Wolf, and Jelly Roll. Goddamn Comedy Jam at the Roxy. And we have some special guests coming. Can I say it? Should I say it? Should I say it like a Nick from the Strokes. Got some people from Queens of the Stone Age coming. Somebody from Rage Against a Machine coming. And possibly one of my favorite artists of all time. You've heard me talk about him. I just got back from Coachella. That's why I don't have the voice. Everybody, Moontower Comedy Festival as well. I'm exhausted. But May 4th at the Roxy. I think tickets drop today, so go to joshadamyers.com or go to Punchup Live. Josh Adamyers. Follow me, Josh.

Ladies and gentlemen, you know how much I love Radiohead. It's one of those bands that changed my life. And this is where it started. I still remember taking ketamine for the first time at umbc where my sister was going to school. And this Russian kid, he said it was like weed. So I did it. But it's true, he did. And then I was in a K hole and he put this record on and I was like, yeah, I went out and bought it. And from that point on, I've been obsessed with this band. If this record doesn't make you feel something or hasn't made you feel something you've never listened to before, which is shocking, I get it. You know, the world's a hard place sometimes. You don't want to listen to something this dark. But I think it's apt for what we're all dealing with right now. And my guest today. Oh, you don't say anything because I'm not introducing you. She's right there. But don't act like she's not everybody. My guest today is comedian, actress, and probably one of the most recognizable. Can I say the word recognizable. Breakout stars of the vine era continues just to. Just to blow my mind of just how cool this girl is. Fearless offbeat humor. Internet's one of the earliest Internet viral voices. And my ex girlfriend, Brittany Furlan, she. She has her. The podcast you're not doing any more. But worst first. But I know it's backlogged. You can go listen to that. Movies, television. She's done everything. And if you really want to laugh, just go on her old YouTube and you can see some of the old clips. And I mean, really, really one of the funniest people that I know. And I mean that not to say anything because she might be sitting right there. Raid review. And most importantly, subscribe to the 500 listen free on all platforms or anywhere you get your podcast.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, we've been through some.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We have been.

[Brittany Furlan]

We went when I started dating Josh.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Good.

[Brittany Furlan]

My face looked like a jalapeno.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're what?

[Brittany Furlan]

My face used to look like a jalapeno. That's why I used to go, yoink.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'll never forget. I'll never forget because. And I'll say how we met. Well, this was funny.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, God.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So there was on this strip right here on somewhere in Sunset Boulevard, one of the most famous streets for rock and roll. We're right. Whiskey's right there. Roxy. May 4th goddamn comedy jam if you're in town. But we. I. They used to do the Sunset Music Festival, where they would shut down Sunset Boulevard and everybody would have bands. And then the Comedy Store tried to do something, and there was a show called LOL Palooza, and it was a bunch of musical comics. And because of the unknown theater, which was a huge thing in my career, where I met lmnop. Where I met Burr Porter. I met. No, I didn't meet you there. I did not meet you there. I'm telling you where I met you. Oh, I'm. Dude, this is. I'm telling you.

[Brittany Furlan]

Tell the story.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yes. I'm the orator in the. In the relationship. You know, you're just like, I got a flappy because my husband's dick is annoying.

[Brittany Furlan]

Excuse me. That was a joke.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I know. It killed. It's a joke.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's a great joke. And it's not true, but they. They released beautiful pussy. Thank you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're welcome. Top 01%.

[Brittany Furlan]

Nice. Okay, you guys. You. Daily Mail.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You didn't change your pussy. No, she changed her face. You said it. What are you talking about? I'm just going with you.

[Brittany Furlan]

I did. I did.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So. So we did LOL Palooza. And I am a year and a month or two into standup, so I'm garbage. And because of the unknown theater and Chris Porter and Angelo and some other guy, Brandon Christie, who works like Robbie Williams and blah, blah, blah. But he. He got us on the show, and you were there with another comic. And I'm going up towards the end, and you thought I was probably more successful than I was. I think you said that to me later in our relationship.

[Brittany Furlan]

I just liked your style because you just, like, you looked, like, dirty.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Like, I like people that look, you called me bummy.

[Brittany Furlan]

I like people that look, like, unkempt and, like, dirty. Like, remember I went on a date with a homeless guy by accident. I swear to God, when I used to work at Jet Rag. I swear to God, I worked at Jet Rag on fucking.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Wait, do you remember when you.

[Brittany Furlan]

We're gonna get so sidetracked. This is gonna be tangent focus, ok? I met you and I was like, that guy looks disgustingly dirty. I love it. He looks like. He looks like he hasn't washed his nuts in four weeks. Let me meet him. Like, I. And what about me? Like, when I like a guy, I go up to them, didn't I?

[Josh Adam Myers]

You didn't. No, no, no. What you did was. Because then I was. I was. I wasn't DJ at the strip club yet. I was doing security on that Saturday because the show was on Friday and on MySpace, because that's how long ago it was. You sent me a message and you had that Jane Fonda picture with that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And. And so then we decided to meet. And I'll never forget an rip, Fuquan Johnson. But we were. You came to meet me, and I'm about to come out to give you the hugest compliment, too. So. Let me. Let me. Let me finish. This is you. You. You came to meet me. I was in, like, Echo park doing a show.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

The show was already over, but you were on your way. And I'll never forget was two comments about coming is that you were walking up and Fu Kuan goes, yo, you lucky, because you were gorgeous. I mean, you were so hot. You still are, but, like, you were just so attractive. And then I think. I don't know what we did, but eventually we go back to my place and we. You. And this is the thing.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Which you should, because you're very talented. Now, that being said. Okay, I remember you were like, if you leave, we're done. And I was like. I was like, all right, well, I'm going. And I saw it in my apartment still. So I was like. And you're like, well, yeah. And you scream that you close the door. And then you started. You started calling or texting me like, I'm. I'm out right now with Emile Hirsch. And he says, you're too old to make it. I'm like, I'm 30. Speed Racer. Speed Racer. Alpha Dog says I'm too old.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, my God, I remember that. What's up, Emil? I'm fucking dead. I was.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You are.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was with him, and I think it was me and Emil Hirsch and, like, Shiloh Fernandez. Oh, my God.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Back in the day, Shiloh Fernandez or. No, he said that. Like, I knew the fuck that was. I know Emil. He's Speed Racer, the other guy.

[Brittany Furlan]

But how shitty are girls? I was so young and immature. I was like, I'll make him jealous. No, but he'll see what my other options are. Well, I'm gonna go out with this guy. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's so shitty how women do that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We were so.

[Brittany Furlan]

I would never do that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We were so tight. We loved each other so much.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

That when you were like, you. You. And Angela's like, dude, like, you know, she's great, but, dude, you can't. You gotta do Stand up. And I go, you're right. And in that moment, I was like, I gotta make a choice. Do I move in with this girl or do I keep the apartment? Because I had a good. I was only paying 500amonth.

[Brittany Furlan]

And you had a hookup.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I did. And so. And so what had happened was I turned my phone off, and then the next day I go to work, and I had like, 40 messages from you. And it was like, don't worry. No, no, no, no, no. But it was so funny. The first I fuck you, fuck you, you. Then it was like, I love you. Please come home.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I go, so bipolar.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I go. I go, I think I got it. And then I go, all right, now I can come in with my stipulation. I remember sitting on the couch and I said, listen. I was like, I get it. I love you. I know you want time, but I have to just stand up. I know, I know. I know. I just. I just want to be with you. And I'm like, I want to be with you, too. But here's the deal. I'm going to move in with you. But we got one rule now. You're like, what's that? And I'm like, angela and I get to have sleepover.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, yes. And I loved it. And then you and Angela would have sleepovers, and then you would pass out on opiates at 10pm and then me and Angela would hang out all night, and we'd go on YouTube and we'd sit there and we just roast everybody. It was so.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I. And I. And I think. And I mean, if maybe I'm right or wrong, because I loved that me

[Brittany Furlan]

and Angelo got super clothes, and I wanted him to stay over all the time. And he slept on the green couch with Maggie Pooz and Wiki.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He loved. He loved Meggie and Maggie, and Wiki

[Brittany Furlan]

was such a. Meggy hated everybody was the. She loved an.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember we broke up and I was like, all right, you can leave, but can I have Wicked for, like, five days? And you're like, yes. No.

[Brittany Furlan]

But we have to tell everybody why we broke.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We'll get to that. I got all questions about this. We Got to talk about Radiohead.

[Brittany Furlan]

My husband's gonna watch this and be

[Josh Adam Myers]

like, he's great, dude. I love you, Tommy.

[Brittany Furlan]

He loves you. He's great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I love him to death.

[Brittany Furlan]

He knows. He know. That's what's cool, is that we're all friends. Like, I love Heather Locklear. Like, they're very close still. And Maite, remember my Tay? He went out with Prince, and her and Tommy were engaged for years. Yeah. My take, Garcia, gorgeous. They're all still. I'm, like, cool with all of them. They're all very cool.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, I'll say this. Yeah. And I. Dude. And you know how much I root for you, and I love that.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I root for you, too.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, dude. And. And the same with Tessa. Like, I root for everybody. I've. I've ever. Only two girls.

[Brittany Furlan]

This is the other girl Josh went out with who has literally knockers bigger the size of my head.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She says as one's about to vomit

[Brittany Furlan]

out of her, like, listen, I'm trying

[Josh Adam Myers]

to get your views.

[Brittany Furlan]

Big boob.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I don't like fat ass. I like Bruce Lee titties.

[Brittany Furlan]

She literally. Her boobs are the biggest boobs I think I've ever seen. What's her full name?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Tessa Fowler.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, look her up.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, Tessa Fowler. XXX knockers.

[Brittany Furlan]

Like, winning boobs. Bro. When you told me you were dating her, and I was like, I just want to. I'm curious. Let me just check her. I was like. Like, oh, my God. Like, the one breast is probably, like, as big as my skull.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It was. She was so much fun. Oh, yeah. 100. She never takes her bra. She keeps. She's like, I'm not letting him sag. Like, I. I sleep in a brush.

[Brittany Furlan]

Sports bras.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She had this thing she would put her next when she slept that would, like, divide her boobs. But really, dude, she was. She was lotioning them. I mean, dude, she was making. At one point. Because I just. When we broke up, we always kept in touch. And she was making. When she started only fans. I remember she put up this post like, hey, you know, I know every other girl's doing it after the banner, but I might start. You know, she started and just killed. I mean, she's probably low key, a millionaire at least. And she quit.

[Brittany Furlan]

Well, that's. Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But.

[Brittany Furlan]

But anyway, she kept it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

Subscribed mine too, guys. Thanks.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Super hot. Look at it.

[Brittany Furlan]

But.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But what I loved about. And we'll get to it too. More in detail. But it was like, another compliment is. And I think Me being around Ange accelerated me getting funny. And I think you fed off of that too. It's because we, the three of us, would just stay. Because Brittany stays up until 5, 6 in the morning shaving the dogs.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm on the creep. The witching hour.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And then you sleep until 4 or

[Brittany Furlan]

5pm I get up at 11 now.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You wear those raggedy clothes.

[Brittany Furlan]

I do. I wear. I sleep in, like, the most ripped up, disgusting bed shirt. When I first started dating Tommy, he was like. Like, because he. He wanted me to sleep naked every night, right? And I would show up to bed in this, like, ragged Cure T shirt from, like 1992, and it had, like, holes in it. Huh.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I just bought a vintage one.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. He'd be like, what the is that? That's not hot at all. You know what I mean? Like, it was horrible.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I would stay hot at the beginning. And then it's like, get ready.

[Brittany Furlan]

Hey, kid, does your wiener work or not? Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You start clearing your throat for a blow job. All right, you ready to do this?

[Brittany Furlan]

I don't think I looked good without makeup.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You always look beautiful.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dead. I'm gonna kill myself. Anyway, Radio had the bends where I used to slip my wrist in my room to this.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Okay, well, you've always like music. Like, I'll give no radio to me. I don't find them depressing. Like we. We've done on the podcast.

[Brittany Furlan]

We've done Karma Police, Pablo.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Honey, no, that's not the album. The album's called okay, Computer.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, Computer. Oh, that's what I mean. I meant, yeah, okay, we did okay,

[Josh Adam Myers]

Computer a few months, maybe less than a year ago. We've done. I think we did Amnesiac. We've done. We haven't done Kid A yet. That's their number highest ranked record.

[Brittany Furlan]

Is it?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. We've done In Rainbows.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And. And so now we're at the record, like, jumping around. Well, it's not. I didn't make a list. I mean, I would have put, okay, Computer, higher. But I get Kid A. It's like, that's the changing record. Because, like, King of Limbs. I remember when that came out, I was on Opiates 3, genetic strip club. And I remember I sat in the bathtub just for like, days listening to it. We'll get to that later.

[Brittany Furlan]

But this is why we broke up.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember because I've talked about this band, you know, and when the guests I've had on, whether it was Swartzen or Alec Berg, the writer for Family Guy. It's. This is an important band for me. This was a life changing band. And I remember when this record came out because. All right, well, you're younger than me, so. Do you remember when Creep came out? Do you remember?

[Brittany Furlan]

Of course I fucking do. I was probably like 12 or 13.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, because I was probably 13, 14.

[Brittany Furlan]

So then I was like nine.

[Josh Adam Myers]

How old?

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm about. I'm gonna. I'm 39.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're 39? What are we doing for the 40th? You know, something big.

[Brittany Furlan]

Kill myself. Jump off the roof of this building.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It rules.

[Brittany Furlan]

Getting my wrist to the bend.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You look so great, so know that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Thank you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Peptides.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, peptides.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm 46.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm. I don't take Peptides. But I. And I. But I fast.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Nad.

[Brittany Furlan]

Plus, I don't take that. It makes me sick. I've tried. You know how I am. I'm so sensitive. The only thing I take is glutathione. And I take. It's like. L. Creatine. Not creatine, but it's like. Anyway, it's like a thing that helps digest carbs. But I say fast. I only eat one meal a day, so I don't eat anything.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You did that for a long time.

[Brittany Furlan]

For a long time.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember the shitty turkey salsa.

[Brittany Furlan]

I've been doing fasting since you've known me. I mean, look how skinny when I. When you met.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I don't think you did it on purpose. No, you know, you weren't. We didn't have money. Can I talk about one thing?

[Brittany Furlan]

You're so broke. Stealing?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yes.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, it was a club, so.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But no, but, dude, I had to because we were surviving. And you. Because you. What happened was we found a Tiffany locket.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

At the place over by Umami Burger.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yep.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And you were like, well, I'm gonna sell this. How they can sell this for 20 bucks? Yeah, you bought it? Sold on ebay. And then.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I made like 340.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, a lot, a lot of money.

[Brittany Furlan]

40 on it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And then, you know, because we were broke.

[Brittany Furlan]

We were so broke. And Josh worked at a strip club as a DJ day chef. And I would. And I would do random acting jobs that I would get, but like, you know, it wasn't consistent. But I was here and there. And then I would go with him, do stand up at night sometimes. And then we were broke, and so I was like, I'm gonna go. I would became a reseller before it was, like, popular. And I would, like, go to Goodwill.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're always Selling your clothes. You're always selling furniture.

[Brittany Furlan]

Furniture.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You distress it. You find something on the street. Dude, I'm telling you, I was a hustler. You. You are. You're a survivalist grade A hustler.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I would never ask my parents for my dad's. Ron hooked me up. Ron hooked us up a few times.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But.

[Brittany Furlan]

But then, but then it was so funny because I remember I'd come to you for like rent or something. You'd be like, I'm short this month. And then I'd find you in the bathtub with like an empty pill bottle. And I was like, no, I didn't know.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You never know. I did it very well.

[Brittany Furlan]

The pill bottles.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You found everything?

[Brittany Furlan]

I found fucking everything. Everything. I was like. And you know what's crazy?

[Josh Adam Myers]

People say, like Sherlock Holmes.

[Brittany Furlan]

I am sure I will figure out everything.

[Josh Adam Myers]

That's one thing about involved in that. Where that dick would go or what goes in that dick or where that dick is at.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, I find it. I find everything. And you were. I mean, first of all, you worked at a strip club with like hot ass strippers. Some of them.

[Josh Adam Myers]

What are you talking about?

[Brittany Furlan]

Some of them were hot.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I had isis.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh my God, isis.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember.

[Brittany Furlan]

Anyway, so we lasted two and a half years and I Actually, here's the first. Here's the crazy thing, Josh. Every boyfriend that I had before you, I never looked through.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Right?

[Brittany Furlan]

Who?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Warren? The guy.

[Brittany Furlan]

Brooke Schwartz?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, there's another guy with a W. Will. Oh, yeah, we'll talk about.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, Will. I had Will, the guy dated in high school who's in cdc, the hardcore band. Cool.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Cdc. I thought CDC is like a Christian.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, no, no, no, no. He's in that cool dude's chilling band. I dated him in high school. I dated this guy Ian. Anyway, never looked through a phone, never was like, let me investigate anybody. And then the only reason was because one night you came home and you were acting weird. And I don't remember what it was, but I found those messages from that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But I almost did. I almost did. Dude, we, you know. Well, it's. That was the first. No, that was the first long term relationship.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And you know, because of the pain killers. Looked at anything because of the painkillers. And then also the fight. Fighting because, you know, we would have some of these blowout arguments.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Because that's what you get for your mom.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And your dad is like the level head. So I was like dealing with like an angel versus like.

[Brittany Furlan]

Come on, you're down with A sickness.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Where is my motherfucking effect, sir?

[Brittany Furlan]

Shout out to a faxer Shout out to a factor I still take it

[Josh Adam Myers]

good, good, good for you Keeps me mellow God forbid you didn't moral the story is I didn't. But I met when I was at a club. This one dancer came in and she was flirting with me and. But she was know we were talking and I was like, well, I'm a comic. She's oh, I like comedy. She said, I'll come to a show. And so I was like, well, here's my number. And then she's like, we should hang out. And I was. We were maybe just having like a rough period. Yeah, they didn't in a while.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, because you were taking pills that made your dick not work well.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And then it. Once I lost my erection once you start thinking about it and then you're like worried and it was like, dude, if I had the money to get Viagra, which I take all the time now because I'm just. Because sex about being present. It's about being present.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dead. What you take Viagra so I don't.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Dude, I've. Once you lose your erection once it

[Brittany Furlan]

sticks with you forever. Think about that's happened to you since us.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh my God.

[Brittany Furlan]

One time. But it was because you were on drugs.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But it's still. It's in your head.

[Brittany Furlan]

But you were. It was because of the opiates. It would not happen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think it was a cornucopia of a battery of things. But the ma. The moral story was I remember me and her kind of like the girl we had set something up. And then I go, you know what I said day of like, I can't do this. I was like, I. If somebody's cheating on me. So we cheated on you for I would hate that. And of course, like, fuck you. I didn't know you had a girlfriend. I go, all right, well, I deserve that. And then I. Then I kept the photo.

[Brittany Furlan]

I don't remember the messages. Yeah, no, no, no, this is all true.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I deleted all that. But she sent me. She was hot. She sent me a photo of her ass and like her back puss. And I was like. And so I showed Byron. And Byron goes, yo, man, if I was you, I would delete that shit, dude. And I go, no, I put it smart. I'm going to put it deep into an E. My Hotmail. I was already on Gmail. And I will never forget. It was a Saturday night. We were watching. You made me dinner. We Were watching Girl Interrupted to give you a.

[Brittany Furlan]

My life's crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Again.

[Brittany Furlan]

My autobiography, Girl Interrupted Off.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Dude, that movie. And I woke up and you're holding

[Brittany Furlan]

the phone like, did I punch you?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, God, yeah, you could be. Even if you could be when you laugh, bitch.

[Brittany Furlan]

I do. I hit you, didn't I? Did I hit you?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I wasn't abused.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, okay, it wasn't abused. I've never abused anyone. But I was like, maybe I smacked you. I don't really remember.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And. And then. But we'll get to all the other anyway, because I got stuff. We gotta talk.

[Brittany Furlan]

This is so crazy. This is. I'm crying, I'm like laughing so much. It's so funny because it's like so long ago, but it like feels like yesterday too. Like now I'm remembering everything and I'm sitting here and I'm going, my God. I just remember like. Like, you know, I mean, but it was fun too. It was a fun time. Like we were struggling. But I will tell you something. Like, I was never unhappy. We were having fun. Like we were going to these open mics at night, which was so fun to like watch all you guys. And then I started. That's what made me get into stand up.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We would have had a little bit of bread to be able to like.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah,

[Josh Adam Myers]

we would have gone to concerts together. We couldn't live.

[Brittany Furlan]

We would have done anything.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And we were talking about earlier. She got so. We got so desperate that Brittany, because she's such a beautiful girl and she's so, so disarming would take that. You got like the thing you would. She would go to. I mean, you stole a, like a seven thousand dollar jacket from Saks. And then we sold it. You sold it online. And it was just like, it was incredible. Like so. And then you'd like order lunch meat from Ralph's and be like, thank you so much. Put it right in the purse. Let me like nibble on some. I know.

[Brittany Furlan]

And that's the horrible thing is like I never stole for like we were.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's like it wasn't like I was stealing because I was like, this is great. But we did have to survive. But then when you did need a new wardrobe, you'd be like, no, no,

[Josh Adam Myers]

no, wait, let me tell the joke. I was doing this on stage. I go, man. And I was like, this always worries me, honey. I don't want you get in trouble. So if you feel the heat, let it go, drop the stuff. But always remember, I'm a 30 30, okay? Always 30. 30 smedium. I'm a smedium.

[Brittany Furlan]

You did. You were. You would hit me up whenever you had. Like, you're like, I'm getting headshots. Done. I really could use a new. And I would go get you. Listen, I hate to admit it, but I stole probably thousands. I mean, Hundreds. At least 100, at least $800,000 worth of merchandise. Not good for me. I feel horrible. I only stole from big places and, you know, I do feel shade, by the way.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And dude, there's. It's. It's survival.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was like we were. We had nothing. And I was like living in Hancock Park. Well, Koreatown, whatever you want to call it. That apartment was like on the brim of Koreatown.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But it was like, it was like a block away from squiggly line.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was nice and it was like we, we. But it was cheap too. So it was like we figured it out. But it was like, like, man, at the time, probably what, I don't know, 1200, 1200amonth. And we could barely do it and eat every month. And we were trying to pay your health insurance. My health insurance? Your remember your car insurance? What happened was the last.

[Josh Adam Myers]

This is horrible anyway, because we're going to talk about the accident.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, it was really bad, you guys. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. We were, you know, it was just really, really bad. And I never. And I'm not the kind of person that ever likes to ask anybody for help. Like, my dad would help us here and there, but like, I didn't want would.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I would ask mom.

[Brittany Furlan]

Like, mom, I know that Jeep, the Jurassic Park Jeep that looked like it been picked up and thrown by a dinosaur. Insert a photo. Anyway, it literally did. All it needed was their Jurassic park logo on it. I'm dead, dude, that thing was so loud. Remember? The neighbors would get so pissed he

[Josh Adam Myers]

put sugar in the gas tank. Oh yeah, they hated you, dude that lived upstairs.

[Brittany Furlan]

He was like. Like this guy in his loud ass car.

[Josh Adam Myers]

That was. That car would have, you know if it wasn't for the accident. Because when the accident happened in the weirdest way for the car, it's like the car was. It was done after that guy put the sugar in the gas tank because my muffler was broken. And your dad was like, I'll buy you a new muffler. I don't need it. We need food.

[Brittany Furlan]

We need food. So. So you want to say what happened? So basically we get to the end of our relationship. You were on drugs. I was depressed.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think I was sober at the time when we were breaking up when you. But after that. After that, that cheating thing, we were, like, together, but I think you were

[Brittany Furlan]

already kind of like, I gotta get out of here. And then I got cast in a music video.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, I didn't know that that's what it was. I just remember you started watching this guy's clips, and then he started coming.

[Brittany Furlan]

Met him.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Interesting.

[Brittany Furlan]

I got cast in a music video for. I don't know what. It was some band.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Lope Duke, you know, four to five. There's always some shitty things.

[Brittany Furlan]

Some.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I thought he was Stanley Kubrick.

[Brittany Furlan]

Emo band, hipster band. And he was like. He hit me up on Instagram. It was. No, it wasn't Instagram yet. It was probably MySpace.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, you might know, Instagram was just

[Brittany Furlan]

at the beginning, maybe just beginning Instagram. And he hit me up and he's like, hey, I want you to be in this music video. I want you to be a star of it. Whatever. So I go do this music video and I just like. Like, we, like, hit it off.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I thought you guys were. I thought he was gay. And so you go. I was like, go hang out with. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to. Yes, go hang out with my buddy.

[Brittany Furlan]

Actually, you did not mind me hanging out with him because you're like, oh, he's gay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Hugged him. I hugged him. At one point, he was in the Comedy Store because I was like, I thought he was gay.

[Brittany Furlan]

He was just a hipster.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, dude, he's gay. He's gay. I don't give a. And then you left. And then you left. And then. And I took Wiki for a few days. And. And look, I moved in with him.

[Brittany Furlan]

We lived. We moved into the Hollywood Tower, which is across from the old 101 Cafe. Did they bring 101 back? 101 Cafe.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's. It's a different name, but it's.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's still a cafe. Anyway, so I moved. I literally just moved out of our apartment, right? Yes, Didn't I? Fast. And then I moved in with him in Hollywood Tower. And I remember you call. This broke my heart. It was like the first night I was with Randall and you called and you left me a voicemail, and I wish I would have saved it, but I had, like, a BlackBerry at the time. I didn't even have an iPhone, but it was like, brittany, I love you so much. Come back.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I need somebody to do my laundry.

[Brittany Furlan]

Probably because. What did you say about me? I'm so motherly. Well, like, I can turn. I turn into, like, people's mom.

[Josh Adam Myers]

What's funny is

[Brittany Furlan]

crazy sad.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Sure.

[Brittany Furlan]

Of course.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, dude, it was like we had a home together.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I remember Randall. I played it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh. Off.

[Brittany Furlan]

And he was next to me and he was like.

[Josh Adam Myers]

That's like, hold on. Let me go put on this weird shawl. No, he's not. He's a dildo.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's a dildo. He's a dildo. He's a dildo. Because he did.

[Brittany Furlan]

To know that I'm friends with everybody

[Josh Adam Myers]

and come around me knowing that and whatever we might have told him, and that's not a big deal, but it's like, I would never in a million years do that. So you're dildo. I'm glad your career went nowhere, and I'm glad I'm fucking killing it 10 times more than you. I love this girl, and I'm glad to be homies now. Fuck him. It's fine. My podcast. My podcast. He ain't on it. Radiohead.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, so the Bends, The Ben. So this is.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna put a period on all this.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay. Put a period.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We were done.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It could have been handled differently.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yes.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I think. I think you love me still. So you want. It was hard to pull the Bandit off.

[Brittany Furlan]

Always be your friend.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But, yeah, it. And it took time. And we. We didn't see each other a long time, and then we ran into each other at the. I'll never forget when I got new faces. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We ran each other. So I. I got new faces, which was such a big deal. And I was like, yeah, that'll show with me.

[Brittany Furlan]

Both of us got new faces.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You didn't even get my joke. I was like, I got new faces. That'll show. Emile. H. Told you I'd make it. And we got to get to radio. I'm so sorry, everybody.

[Brittany Furlan]

This is going to be a three hour long.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, we'll do an hour and a half. As soon as we're done with this, we go into the album. I got all the facts. I got everything. I'm having a blast, guys. This one's for me. You would listen. I. I got to do all these podcasts with people that I like this. I. When I get to have somebody that knows me in and out, and I know her in and out, it makes me so comfortable. I was. When. The second you said yes, I was glowingly excited because I was like, I Get to hang out with my friend.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I don't ever get to see you, you know, and it's great. So. So, like I said, we. We don't. I got new faces. And I remember, yeah, that'll show Brittany commandment talking. And then I go, what's this new app? Vine. And it's like 10 million. I've got like 10 million followers like you.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm like, in variety every day. They're like, she's gonna be the next big thing. And then nothing happened.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, no, everything happened. Don't worry. You killed it, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

I did. Then.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And you still continue to. And then we. I didn't see you for a while. And then when the jam was taking off, I remember we were getting ready to go on tour and really do a bunch of stuff, and I went to go to the post office right next to Erewhan, and your big head ass with no cavs walks out, gets in your Mercedes, and I'm like, oh, I hope you didn't see me. And then you. Literally. Everybody's supposed to go that way. And you go. And we're like, head to head. And you're like. And then we stop and we talk for, like an hour. And you're already on the outs with Randall. Like, he was barely around.

[Brittany Furlan]

And.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And. And then we would. Nothing. There was no. Nothing sexual. It was just like. We were just. We would get lunch and then we would. You helped me, like, make pants shorts. And then we just stayed friends.

[Brittany Furlan]

And then.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And that's great. And that's.

[Brittany Furlan]

I think that's healthy. It's like, if you've loved someone or you've been in a relationship with someone and you have a friendship, too, I think, why not stay friends? I'm literally friends with all my exes. Excep one.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Will. You're not friends with Will?

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, no, I'm not friends with Will. But I'm also. Yeah, okay, so two. But I'm friends with all the other ones. Like, it's the other guy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, do the other. The other guy can. No, yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm not friends with him, but I'm friends with all the other ones. Everyone that I can be friends with, I'm friends with because I'm like. I believe in, like, peace and happiness and, like, you know, like, it's cool. Like, chill, huh?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Peace and love. Peace and love.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, but, you know, like, I try to just be like, you know, it's. You think about the time that you've had with this person. It's like, it doesn't like, think about the good stuff.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's like an album. It's like record. Or it's like, okay. Or like. Or appetite restructuring. You sit with it for so long and you might be like, oh, God, I can't listen to Sweet Child of Mine ever again. But you still love it, you know?

[Brittany Furlan]

And that's the thing. And I just feel like I'm grateful for the people that I've been able to maintain friendships with, because I feel like you guys know sides of me that, like, not everybody knows. You know what I mean?

[Josh Adam Myers]

That you sleep until.

[Brittany Furlan]

Till 11. Now, 11am used to be 2pm or 4pm I know 4pm or 5br. Tommy's gonna die when he sees this.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's how I connected over him. She ended up doing. She ended up doing the jam.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. And Tommy and you immediately.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And you. And you said the exact same thing that I was. I was hoping. I was like, dude, I really hope she wants to bring Tommy. She was. I thought I bring Tommy. I'm like, oh, thank God. And that was awesome. I mean, he's so talented, but Tommy was such a cool guy. But I don't. And I remember me and Tommy were like, talking for a second, and I would never be like, whatever, but I remember I just went to him, I go. I go, does she still sleep till 5pm? He goes, oh, my God, man.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. And Tommy's doing great. I mean, I'm not. Obviously, we're not going to talk about everything, but, you know, he's healthy, good. And he's. He looks great, and he's taking care of himself. And, like, you know, I do think it's really funny when I was thinking about all the guys that I've dated, and I was thinking about you, and I'm like, every single guy that I've dated has been an addict. Every single one. I haven't dated one guy who hasn't been an addict.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Really? They.

[Brittany Furlan]

I mean, that's crazy. Not even one guy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

One guy was addicted to eating mattress pads. No.

[Brittany Furlan]

I mean, listen, did you laugh? You. You.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I thought that was funny.

[Brittany Furlan]

You were opiates. Another one was addicted to hookers. Another one was addicted to Kratom. Another one was addicted to alcohol. Like, everybody has been an addict. And I was sitting there thinking that on the way here when I was driving, and I was like, what's wrong with me? Me that I feel like, is. Or is just everybody an addict?

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think everybody's addicted to something. I do.

[Brittany Furlan]

Really?

[Josh Adam Myers]

I do.

[Brittany Furlan]

I think that's interesting. You think we all have addictions in a way. I mean, Tommy's like, you're addicted to your phone.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Sure.

[Brittany Furlan]

He's like, you're an addict.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, you are. I mean, yeah, we're addicted to something.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm trying to think what you used to. What I would have said you were addicted to. Even you.

[Brittany Furlan]

I've never been an addict, though. Like, I could do drugs and then just be like, all right, cool. And then never do them again.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're addicted to me for a moment.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, God, I'm dead as well.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Face it, yo.

[Brittany Furlan]

Addicted to love. I am addicted to love. Maybe that's what I am.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You are. You are. And that's why when you got with Tommy.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I. I said, man, I think that's the coolest ever.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Because I love crew is such a big part of my life.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And also, it's cool to be asking my brothers with Tommy Lee, you know, but, you know, in this day and age, I. Some older women, too. Who knows? Some of those roadie, you know. Kidding.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's a joke.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's funny. They wrote a book called the Dirt, for Christ's sake. I mean, you know.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, Tommy has a great sense of humor.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's an awesome guy. And I was so happy when you got together. I even said, please invite me to the wedding. You're like, work, it's going to be small. I go, I can dj.

[Brittany Furlan]

We didn't invite anyone.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I know you didn't.

[Brittany Furlan]

We kept it really low key. I mean. And listen, like, I know a lot of people judge me, and I've been through a lot in the last, you know, year and a half. But I will say this. It's like, unless you live in someone's situation, like, you don't know. Know what? You don't know what's going on. And I just. I'll just say that, you know, life

[Josh Adam Myers]

is hard for everybody, and it's sometimes. Sometimes gets out there and sometimes doesn't.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm just happy. My husband is healthy and happy. And I will say, like, it's been so. I'm so happy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Good.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's been so good.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You know, I'm rooting for you. I just want. Because you. That's true. You are addicted to love. You want to be loved, and you deserve it. You're a great person. You were always there for me when you were there for. My dad died. And I'll never forget that. I'll never. How strong you were. It made me strong to get to. On that flight fight.

[Brittany Furlan]

I know. Because you Couldn't even, like, get on the.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh. I mean, I was like. I mean, I was devastated, but because it was so out of nowhere. My mom at the strip club, DJing, and it's like I ran outside and then I called Jody on the way home, and Jody was like. She was like, josh, this is bad.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Like, you might. You might bring a suit. And I was. That's what I just. I broke down and you had the bag packed, and you were. This. And then. And then. Yeah, just so. Because of that. That. It's like, in all the other stuff, we could say this, this, and this. But it was like, you were so great. You know what's funny thing is I never even think about my dad anymore. That's the crazy.

[Brittany Furlan]

He was hard on you. Well, he loved you, but he was hard on you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Sure.

[Brittany Furlan]

I remember meeting him and I was like, oh, he's like, tough on you. Like, your mom loved the. Out of you, but she has really bad anxiety, and she put that on you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She imprinted that. I mean, same with your mom, but also, like, you know, I am able.

[Brittany Furlan]

But your dad was tough.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, but. And if that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Nothing was good enough. But I do think that if he saw how much you've done now. Oh, dude, he would be blown.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I always say this because he. I. I would rub my success in his face, but there wouldn't be no bigger fan of the. Because he. That's the reason I'm into music is because of my dad. The reason I'm in the movies, because of my dad. Comedy, all that. But, you know, move on, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's. I love that I did. I don't have my dad. I got a friend who's been so mothered and fathered by his fucking parents that buy him everything and do this. I know he has no drive.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm so jealous of those people, though. Like, what's it like to have, like, a normal, loving family?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, but fudge that, dude. You. When I have such a chip on my shoulder that. That's why I'm the herpes of comedy, because they don't want me. So you keep creating and you keep doing shit, and then they just, like, this guy won't go away.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's like herpes of comedy, and I'm

[Josh Adam Myers]

flaring up right now. I am.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone in the scene knows you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I've. I. I create. I make things.

[Brittany Furlan]

We all know Josh, Adam Myers.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And when I get roadblocks, I pivot and work on something else.

[Brittany Furlan]

You're the most driven person I Mean, like, you're the only person I've known that's like performed at the Comedy Store probably a hundred thousand times and you're not on the wall yet. Like, that's crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Interesting.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's interesting because it's like. I mean, I don't give a.

[Josh Adam Myers]

At this point.

[Brittany Furlan]

I know you don't. It's like, what? Motley's not in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. That's not why crazy is that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I vote on the Rock hall of Fame too.

[Brittany Furlan]

You do? You and Dave Grohl.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I vote. I've been voting for the last five years.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wow. Good for you. We'll give Motley a vote. Because I'm like, dude, how are you guys not in there? And who just got inducted? Mariah Carey.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They'll get in. And if they don't get it, if they don't get voted in, what they'll do is it'll definitely be an honorary award. I mean, Lauren Zevon hadn't. You know, because always the ones that are like, like, you know, into. Because it's run by that guy I'm gonna. His name. Jan Werner or whatever his name they got from Rolling Stone. Dude, the monkeys never got in. And they were like, they were so influential, you know, and that's the thing. And I. My buddy Morty, who helps me write the show sometimes he would. He would push from Warren Zevon and. And it's just Kiss. What? Dude, they didn't want to get Kiss in. Dude, it's. It's the Cure. There's so many bands that have fought now. You're always going to get those ones, you know, Like, Radiohead's gonna be first back palette.

[Brittany Furlan]

And Motley won't fight for it. But like, they, they, they're Motley, they're glam. Like, they started glam metal. Like, come on. Like.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, no. Glam metal. Glam metal, yeah. Yes. Glam rock is obviously like. We go back and back, but. Yeah, and I think that's, you know,

[Brittany Furlan]

but they were like the pioneers of it. I don't know. Whatever. They set up so many other bands and, you know, who knows? Maybe it'll happen. Maybe it will. But isn't it kind of crazy? It's just kind of like, wow. It's kind of shocking.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It'll happen.

[Brittany Furlan]

They're going on tour. Oh, by the way, this comes out out tomorrow. Okay. So Tommy is re releasing Tommyland the Ride and he's putting a new song on it. Remember Tommy Land the Ride, his album? He's putting a New. He has a new song coming out and that's going to be on there. So that's out today. So, guys, if you love it, can we play it?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Can we play at the end of the podcast?

[Brittany Furlan]

Absolutely.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We always try to play a band that's like Radiohead, but, yeah, Tommy Land,

[Brittany Furlan]

the Ride is back out. It's re. Released. They re. They did it in Dolby Atmos. We have a Dolby Atmos studio at our house. So he remastered the whole thing. He worked so hard on it. And yeah, it's out today.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Go and get it, listen to it, stream it, whatever you do.

[Brittany Furlan]

And. Okay, so let's talk about the Bends, because when did you. When did you get into radio? Such a big dude. I was so depressed in high school. I mean, you know, this about me. I used to be, like a cutter. I got, like, hospitalized. It was horrible. So I'd be like, wanted to kill myself kind of.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Girls, I like.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, he liked the real up ones. I was, like, so depressed because I'd to, like, like, no relationship with my mom. I was just raised with my dad and my brother, and I was so sad all the time. And I would just, like, listen to, you know, Radiohead. I would listen to, like, you know, I don't know, Depeche Mode. And, like, you know, I just was like. I would just, like, be sad. And like, I remember listening to the, like, Baby's Got the Bends. And then, like, it's like, what else just is on that album? You do it to yourself. You do. That's what really hurts, you know? I just remember, like. Like, I loved all Radiohead and I was obsessed with Tom York, and I just would sit there and I would literally listen to this music in my room in the dark to, like, you know, there was no. We had no Internet. We had no, you know.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Are you Millennial? You're Millennial.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, Millennial. We had nothing. So it was like, maybe dial up aol. Like, but that's it. Like, chat room, you know. But you didn't have anything to really entertain yourself. There was no Instagram, no TikTok, no nothing. So I would just sit there, there, light candles and listen to radio and cut myself and be so depressed. But, like, it was weird because I

[Josh Adam Myers]

used to have any. Your calves. You shaved them off.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, I. But that's where all I would cut. No, but that's where I would cut so they wouldn't see it. I have all the scars on them now, but. Yeah, but it's like. It's like. And that Was like my way of like releasing endorphins because it would like every time you bleed you, like, release endorphin. Anyway, I was so depressed, it was a nightmare there. And my dad ended up catching me and then I got sent to foundations. Behavioral Health was in the city and

[Josh Adam Myers]

I feel like, okay, so this is where you're gonna be staying.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, it was so. No, it was. No, bro. It was like center city Philly.

[Josh Adam Myers]

The accent was even thicker. Yeah, okay.

[Brittany Furlan]

My roommate was like, I've been raped seven times. I was like, she's like, my parents are coming to pick me up today. And she would sit by the window and no one ever came. There was a guy who was like, dude, it was so horrible in there. And like, I remember I was like crying like the first night I was there. And this nurse comes in, she like grabs me by my hair. And they were all tough and mean because they were used to dealing with like really mentally ill people. I mean, the people there were like eating their faces. And like, they were like, listen, I'm crazy, but I'm like, you know, I'm a normal girl crazy. I'm not. Dude, the people in there, it was like, like, oh, that's crazy. Like, it was scary, you know what I mean? Like, people didn't even know who they were, you know what I mean? Like, they didn't even think they were real. Banging their heads against walls. And I'm not even kidding. Like, it was scary. This nurse drags me down the hallway cuz I was crying. And she opens the door to this room and it says the quiet room. And it's a metal door with a little slit. And she opens it up and it's mattresses all against the walls and mattress on the floor. And there's a girl in there and it smells like pit this. And she's like, if you don't shut up, this is where you're going. Oh no, dude, it was so horrible. Like, mental health system was so bad at their address.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I feel like staying there for a little bit. I think I need to work some out.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was really bad, dude. And then you just. Anyway, but so, so, so anyway, so I used to. That's how I got into Radiohead was because I just like, I heard them on the radio. I do. I'm very emotional.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I used to listen. You should like always be listening to music. And it would either be like hard rock, but even like the rock that you would listen to, it was always like, you know, like, I don't say like the Kills or.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, the Kills or the Strokes or like cattle.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Cattle. But I'll never forget, like, one of the coolest things I always say was one of the cutest things you ever did is we were listening to I can't not hear the song and not see you sing it, which is a Nine Inch Nail song off of with teeth.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And it was like, you know, back in Gala, as it's cold and because we used to drive in that little VW that I scratched.

[Brittany Furlan]

Bite the hand that feeds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And so, you know, I mean, I've

[Brittany Furlan]

loved Nine Inch Nails, so that's why I would, like, listen to Nine Inch Nails. And I liked Marilyn Manson for years, too. Like, I used to listen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I know I'm Marilyn Manson and the

[Brittany Furlan]

spooky Kids, only because my. Remember, Greg used to be cool back in the day. My brother, he used to play electric guitar. Yeah. My brother was the one that got me into all that. My dad would take us to Oz Fest, you know, because my brother was. Yeah, my brother was, like, into that music and stuff. Anyway, so I was, you know, I was into that stuff, but I was depressed. Depressed. I was so depressed. But when one friend shout out to Nadine, who I'm still friends with, Remember Nadine?

[Josh Adam Myers]

I thought your brother was gonna her that one Christmas.

[Brittany Furlan]

He loved her. Loved her.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He was an astrologist.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay. Gregory Furlontero. It's still up.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Okay. So the moon is gonna be in the. In the fourth. The fourth phase, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

My brother changed so much, it's crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's a dad now. He.

[Brittany Furlan]

He's a dad now. He's doing.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's doing great.

[Brittany Furlan]

Proud of him. Radio, he's got you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, no, no, it won't. We're gonna go out to eat. I gotta show at 11:15 anyway. Also at the Laugh Factory. Also, he's got. I got an early flight tomorrow. He's got to edit this.

[Brittany Furlan]

And, yeah, Mark's like, I'm gonna kill myself. No, he's like, talking about you killing yourself. I'm gonna kill myself while I watch this podcast.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, this is way more comfortable than Roddy Bottom was. And big ups to Roddy because I made that fucking gay joke about the comedy thing. It was. But, I mean, I was, like, giddy as a schoolgirl. I.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, so, yeah, so I loved Radiohead. I've been obsessed with them for a while still.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Are you still a fan of theirs? You still have all the records.

[Brittany Furlan]

Still a fan. And I still have all the. I still. My dad actually Just mailed me all my old CDs, and I had every CD. Yeah, it's crazy. And then I ran into Tom York one time, Chateau Marmont. And I was, Listen, I don't usually get starstruck. You know me. Like, I'm pretty. Like, I'll look you right in the eye. I don't care. Like, I've met most people, right. But Thom York was someone that. Because it had been so many emotional moments for me, and listening to Radiohead had been so emotional for me that he was at the. Checking in at Chateau Marmont, and I remember he just turned around and, you know, he's got like the, like, lazy eyes. And I remember he just looked at me and I just froze. Like, I just was like a deer in headlights. And he just was staring back at me and then he just turned back around and probably like, this girl's gonna, like, a huge fan. You know what I mean? But I couldn't even even say anything. That's how. And I'm not like that. Like, I'm normally be like, hey, what's up? Or like, I'm a big fan or whatever. Like, just keep it moving. Right?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

I was like, holy. Like, I froze there and I regret. Like, I was that. God, that was probably like, right after we dated. It was a long time ago.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I just went to the Chateau Marmont for the first time, like, a month ago.

[Brittany Furlan]

You're kidding. Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm not a big dude. I don't do anything. I go to concerts. I don't. Once I moved away, I was like. I never went there, there.

[Brittany Furlan]

So I used to go there a lot back in the day. Not really anymore because we don't really go out that much. But I mean, it was just so. He was probably one of the only people that I've met. I've met everybody at this point, but he was one of the only people. Because of that connection to the music.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

That I just was like, holy. I can't even say anything. I have so much respect for him.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Of course. I mean, the band in general, like, is held up to a pedestal. And I think it. And I'm telling you, it starts. Starts here.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Because you know, this. Let's talk about why this is essential. This is the real debut. This isn't Pablo Honey. And nothing against Pablo Honey, but the Papa Honey is not on the list.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But other records, all of them, I think on the new 2020 list, they. I think most of them are. Maybe this. Maybe Papa Honey's not. I actually wanted to Sketch about, like, Johnny Greenwood being. They're writing Creep, and Johnny's like, how about to do, like, a kachanka? And like, they're like, I don't know. It's gonna work. He's like, please, I'm telling you, let me have fun.

[Brittany Furlan]

I love it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And where, like I said, this is where they become Radiohead. You have to understand, at the time, it's 1995. Brit Pop is exploding. Oasis, Blur dominating. They are the end. They are the gold standard of 90s Brit pop rock is evolving into something more introspective. You know, don't forget, in America, you've got Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Who. And. And some of the original Soundgarden. You know, it's. It's.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's the reaction to hair metal.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Which was too big.

[Brittany Furlan]

It kind of pushed it all out.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, well.

[Brittany Furlan]

Like, it killed it all.

[Josh Adam Myers]

All music has waves. I've said this a million times on the podcast, but it's just. They all have waves. Like, the reaction to Limp Biscuit and Corn was the Strokes.

[Brittany Furlan]

The best. Yeah. And by the way, I remember. So when did Room on fire come out? 2003 or 2004?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, there was 2002. Because I think. No, no, no, no.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'll do that math.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You want to check on that for

[Brittany Furlan]

me, Mark 12, first stroke album. Yeah. The. With 1251, Reptilia, it was Room on Fire. I remember. I think it was 2003. Right?

[Josh Adam Myers]

So it's 22,001 and then 2003. You're right. You got it.

[Brittany Furlan]

2003. Okay. So I'm at. I'm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, it's 2003, and I walk into a random coffee shop, right? And I'm with Ron.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Good old Ron.

[Brittany Furlan]

Ron's with me.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Big ups, Ron.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I run into.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's her dad, by the way.

[Brittany Furlan]

Julian Casablanca. Jules. And he's standing there at the counter in Doylestown ordering coffee. I had. I was listening. Just listening to them in the car. Dude, I freaked out, but I was chill. But I was like, in my head, I was like, oh, my God, how am I gonna hit on this guy with Ron here? You know what I mean? Like, how am I gonna work Ron into the equation? You know what I mean? Because I'm like, he was looking. He was so handsome. He was so skinny and tall. Like, looked so good. And he's tall as. I think he might be even taller than Tommy. But I remember I just had such a crush on him, and I was so nervous, and I Go to. Go up to him. And my dad follows me off. Ron, oh, my God.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Why you blocking Ron?

[Brittany Furlan]

Lay back.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It could have been Britney Casablancas.

[Brittany Furlan]

I was like, fall back, soldier.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You gotta Brendan Boyd from Brandon. I know that.

[Brittany Furlan]

I have stories about that too, radio head. Anyway, ready? So Ron follows me, and I'm walking up and I'm like, I'm. Excuse. And I'm so shy. I'm like, excuse me, Jules. I'm like, dude, I love you guys. And he's like, oh, really? And he was so sweet. And we had like a thing. We had like a moment. He wasn't with a girl or anything. We're talking and Ron's like, oh, you like the coffee cake here? Like, I'm like, oh, my God.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Like, that's like an 8 year old. And he's like, I'm DM D. He's like, farting.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I'm like, oh, God, you're laughing

[Josh Adam Myers]

because you're depressed as you had to turn into goddamn Peewee Herman. Ah, Brittany, do I got my. Let's go to get lunch. You haven't eaten.

[Brittany Furlan]

Entertain me. Anyway, my dad killed the vibe. And Jules. And then I was like, all right, it's clearly not gonna happen. Can I just get your autograph? And I have it still, and it's a little tiny piece of paper from this coffee shop. And it's like, love jewels. And I still have it. I love him. And he was so nice to me, and I was such a loser fan girl. And like. Like, I'm not even. Like, people are like, oh, you're a groupie. I never dated any musicians besides my husband. Like, I mean, I'm kind of. I was going to say, unless you consider yourself a musician. But I didn't date any musicians beside my husband. I. I like a lot of music and I've hung out with people, but I've never tried to date anybody. I usually just keep it low key, but I'm like, dude, it's just so crazy. Like, and now, like, the Strokes revival at Coachella, like, it's such a full circle. Yeah, they killed it. It.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It was really. We had a really funny moment. I'll tell this story to you. And then when I get to get to this record, because we. We. I. We could talk for five, six hours.

[Brittany Furlan]

My God, you guys are.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You'll come back on. You'll come back on. I think everybody. I love it. I don't give a. About them. Mark.

[Brittany Furlan]

Mark in Toronto Love episodes for us.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Sometimes you got to do it.

[Brittany Furlan]

We're the only ones listening to it. We're like, this is great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, dude, my boy in San Francisco, the writer, the L. San Francisco. He listens to everything. That's my money, boy.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, so wait, we're talking about the album.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Dude, Rich is listening to this. Rich. I know. I got my Die Hards, man, that

[Brittany Furlan]

shout out to Rich.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Dude, I love. But what I was saying was I went to go see Nine Inch Noise right before. Before the Strokes.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, they're awesome.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I went with. I went with Nick, the guitarist. Yeah, he goes, dude, go. I gotta play guitar.

[Brittany Furlan]

I gotta practice.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, dude, nine inch noise, they ended at 8:40. They ended at 9:45 and the stroke showing at 10. And because I. I'm an artist or with the artist, I have the artist podcast fast. I run because I was in the. On the audio booth so I could hear the show and really get. See it. And I run to the carts and there's a line and. But I have the artist thing. So they're just like, yeah, get him in. He's got to get to the Strokes. They get it. And I couldn't get. I was trying to find his son and his friends so we could hang together because we've been hanging all day.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I. Dude, I don't know where they are. And there's no reception at Coachella.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, there's no reception.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I'm like, I try to the stage and then I'm getting. I get on and then I get kicked off. Then I'm getting yelled at for this. And I mean, I thought I had all the passes and. And I had pretty much everything, but. Except the all access. All access on the thing. And then I get yelled at this guy and I go, now I can hear them playing. And I'm like, they're two songs in. And then this is so funny. And then I go to his manager, Andre, and I go, dude, I'm trying to find the. These kids. And I got kicked off this. And he goes. He goes, come with me. And he goes up to the stage, he goes, you can sit here and beside stage. And I. And I'm like, no, I want to go with them. And then the guy who yelled at me, like, apologizes. He's. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize it. I'm like, yeah, I understand.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, I get it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I was. I've been on Twitter before. I know what this is. Like.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And. And so then he takes me to the artist, like, watching area in the front of the stage. But I have to walk because, you know, you have all the things in

[Brittany Furlan]

front of everybody in the barricade. In front of the barricade.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I know they're playing, they're four songs in and. And it's like. And Nick looks right at me and goes. And I'm just like, I'm sorry. Like, he looks at his watch like, I'm like, I'm not like. I mean, I told him. I was like, dude, the security thing. And he goes, no, I got it. God bless you.

[Brittany Furlan]

I love you, man.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Your home, homie.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's such a crazy thing. And you know, man, we've just lived such a crazy life.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I have the best life in the world. I am. Yeah, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

Despite all of it, you know, all the things that have happened in my life, like, I don't take back anything. I think everything happened for a reason. I really do. The bad things have all led to better things.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Even Angelo passing away is so much good. It just made me a better person. Yeah, it's made me. It's made me appreciate life. When I finally dealt with everything and I listened to what he had taught me. He was the one that said, combine comedy with music. I don't know how you do it.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Anytime I fucking done that, I made a lot of money.

[Brittany Furlan]

People love it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I. Because I'm having fun. And the podcast, this is what we used to talk about. And I mean, dude. And if. And I. I live. He lives vicarious through me because we always talked about when we had money of going to concerts. That's all we wanted to do. Like, let's. We'll go to a movie.

[Brittany Furlan]

Love music. And he loved movies. He could name every act.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, that's. Dude, he would be the perfect guest for every. He would be. I have Wayne Federman when I can't find a guest this, that this album didn't feel like it was a Fetterman record. This was. I needed somebody that. Because I knew he wasn't a radio fan, like I am. And I wanted to find somebody that was. And I'm so happy.

[Brittany Furlan]

I went to their Instagram.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, I went to their Instagram page and you were the first. You followed him. And I was like, oh, Brittany. I was like, oh, my God, we need somebody immediately. Please hope she's available or I hope she's not sleeping.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm taking Tommy. We're going to go see him. I'm so excited.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I went to London, I saw all four nights at the OT to. Oh, dude, I, I, I. That's why I don't want kids, man. I like being selfish.

[Brittany Furlan]

I mean, I'm. I'm almost 40. I. I don't know if I want kid. I don't think it's going to happen. How is it going to happen? It's probably not going to.

[Josh Adam Myers]

If it does, it does. And you'd be a great mom.

[Brittany Furlan]

Thanks.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But you know, because you. We both have examples of what not to do. That being said, the bends, the Ben

[Brittany Furlan]

B's got the Ben.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Let me say this. This is why. This is why. Which we just covered at. At. At Moon Tower. We open. We open one of the shows with. I would do two songs in the beginning. We opened with Fake Baxter Trees one night and I. Oh, and then we went from that into Freedom 90 by George Michael. Because I love. I think George Michael's. Oh, God, I love him so much. And then another night, on the first night, we did Mamas and the Papas, California Dreaming. Because we did that record last week.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And it's such a good song. And then we did. Okay, Computer Paranoid and Android six seven Minute song. That. That was for me.

[Brittany Furlan]

Tommy calls me Paranoid Android.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, you are an Android. I am Brittany. Time to make a Vine video.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wait, so what's most. What's your favorite song on the Benz?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, that's what we do at the end.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, okay. Just kidding.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Let me.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dead.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Bury the lead. I have a whole thing.

[Brittany Furlan]

All right. I'm not gonna. I'm gonna let you go. Then you rock it. It's. You know what's. What else was I gonna tell you? It's just so funny, isn't it? Because it was like, like, I mean, like this. All this stuff happened and we were both struggling so hard. And I just want to say this for anyone that's, like, out here that's, like, struggling and you're like, I'm never going to make it. It's never going to happen. I mean, what did it take? Took me like 10 years.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, it didn't. It did not.

[Brittany Furlan]

You.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You were. Dude, you were going to be. You were going to be successful by hooker. By crook. It. And you know, I got a lot of early success after we broke up. Up. And then. Yeah, you did, but I wouldn't. I had to keep creating. And dude, I'm eating 18 years in August of doing this.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, you've been doing it a long time.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I'm telling you, I look of peptides. I look amazing.

[Brittany Furlan]

What peptides are you taking? Ghk, Whatever.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm on, like, I'm I got. I'm on enough to kill a terrapin.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm scared of them, dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I go to the doctor. I am so on top of it.

[Brittany Furlan]

But people take, like, GLP ones, too. Do you take that, like.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I do read. I'm gonna start taking. I heard about weight, though.

[Brittany Furlan]

You are very sin.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I do like it, though. I look. I like being thinner than. I like both, but I'm still muscular. It's just.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. Lean and fit.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, you know, the women aren't complaining. Lack of. So she doesn't watch me. Can you imagine what that's like?

[Brittany Furlan]

No. Terrifying. Yeah, I've been there, actually. Terrifying. Thanks for the flashbacks. Thanks for the PTSD flashbacks.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, my God, it's so funny.

[Brittany Furlan]

I have ptsd. What did some girl say the other day? It was so funny. She's like, I have ptsd. Pretty tight syndrome. Pretty tight. I. Wait,

[Josh Adam Myers]

forget it out. Come on. Come on. There you go.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wait, she said I have ptsd. Tight syndrome disorder.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Good for her, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

Things like a gorilla grip. All right. You can cut that out anyway. All right. No, it's so funny because I. I just was going to say if you're. If you're struggling, like. Well, some people shouldn't keep going, but, you know, keep going. If you think a lot of people

[Josh Adam Myers]

shouldn't keep going, whether it's comedy or acting, but you can't. They always say,

[Brittany Furlan]

yeah, yeah, you quit your.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You have your chances go to zero.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, exactly. And if you try, at least, you

[Josh Adam Myers]

know, even at my lowest.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I mean that. Even when I was a junkie. Not. Not. I was never a. I was a. I was a pill addict with you. I wasn't a dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

I remember the boils on your chest.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Chest cystical. You know what's funny? I haven't so bad.

[Brittany Furlan]

When you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, you were picking. You'd pick on me. Women love.

[Brittany Furlan]

Because you had boils. Dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Hold on.

[Brittany Furlan]

So this is what cut out the boil.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I don't give a. Dude, what is so funny is you were a job. I haven't had a pimple in years because I did Accutane when I was like, 41. Because I was done.

[Brittany Furlan]

Great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, I had to. I was like, I'm done. I'm done. It's just my mom gave me all these skin disorders orders, and, dude, my skin has been perfect.

[Brittany Furlan]

Sharon. Sharon's got flaky skin.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I got it all the eggs. I got rosacea and cystic acne and. But my. But I started taking. So I've been on forever. And of course, the weekend I go to Coachella, I gotta do that here. It wasn't terrible.

[Brittany Furlan]

A deep one?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, it wasn't bad. It wasn't subcutaneous. Popped it. But I left it alone. And then eventually it popped on its own, but I was like, of course I'm gonna see Brittany, and she's gonna be like.

[Brittany Furlan]

I used to go crazy women always, dude. They would explode, too. They were. Hit me in the eye.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'd be, remember when I went to Jackass Forever?

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Do you remember when. Remember you were like, hey, you can get your SAG card. You get on Jackass, Jackass two or Jackass three. And it was like, but what do you gotta do? Is they. Because it's in 3D, they want to pop a pimple. You always got big pimples. Need to get you your SAG guard. That was the most embarrassing day of my life to have Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine, like, look at my.

[Brittany Furlan]

Did I take you?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, no, I. I drove over there.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was in Burbank, but I hooked it up, right?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I didn't. No, they didn't pick any. Anybody. Oh, so now I'm just this guy that's like, yeah, I'm here for looking at my up face. I don't even have bad pimples. The bends. Accutate if you're breaking out Accutane, bro.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dying right now. This is so. This is so many. I'm just having so many flashbacks of, like, you just sitting in the tub

[Josh Adam Myers]

listening to Kid King of Limbs.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's just crazy. Like, we just. I mean, good for you. I'm so happy. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm, like, laughing.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Do you remember how. How shitty are that. That bath, like, it, like, peed out.

[Brittany Furlan]

It was awful. And it was like, from, like, Shower was falling down. It was like. Yellow was, like, the color of this globe. It was horrible. Anyway, life is so much better now for both of us, which I'm so glad we both have come so far.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I'm really proud of you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Thank you. I'm proud of you, too. I've been proud of you for a long time. We do.

[Brittany Furlan]

We do our best. That's all we can do. Everybody does their best, and that's it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

One thing we're not doing our best at is staying on track about radio.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, I'm literally feeling like I need to take an Adderall to have this conversation. No, we're, like, all over the place of us are, like, all over the place I.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Listen, I'm going to steer the ship now, okay? We're going to give you. We're going to give you at least a half hour of Radiohead stuff and then the show's over. We're going to go get food and we're going to laugh and have fun.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's the part they probably want to see. Well, they want to hear about radio.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Listen, I could go over the history of Radiohead, but we've already done a bunch of episodes, dude. I'll tell you the truth. When we did the first episode with Alec, we could. We were just gushing about how much we loved about him. And I think it was in Rainbow Shows and we just. Or maybe it was Amnesiac, but it was just you. This is like. Like what? This is like. I kept. Keep going back to being that this is the record. And I remember because I knew the guy, my buddy. I used to play like street hockey with these older guys and this guy, he loved Creep Micah Bait. And then. And then I bought this record and. And I would. You know, I was sort of raspy voice always, but I've been singing like, you know, fake Plastic trees and high and dry. And I remember all the videos, but it was really Planet Telex, the first song that they still play and still will open. They open one of their shows in London. The crowd goes bananas. You know, this is actually not so. So their normal producer was one of the extra producers on it, Nigel Godrich. This is actually produced by a guy, John Leckie, worked with the Stone Roses.

[Brittany Furlan]

She's all, hello.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Just like, I'll stop, won't stop ating you.

[Brittany Furlan]

She heard Lucky.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I didn't even think about that. But in the world, like you mentioned.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Early Internet era is beginning AOL with CDs everywhere.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, it was crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Gen X. Anxiety at all time.

[Brittany Furlan]

Highs so bad. Anxiety, depression. They cat they. It was so funny. I saw a meme the other day was like, instead of just moving out of Radiohead, could have avoided making all those depressing albums if they just moved out of England, like, instead of staying there for eight years. But it's true. But I love it if England. I love the depressing music.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I love it has. Because it rains so much in the winter. That's why I haven't gone in a while. It's really raining. Yeah, it's brought some of the greatest music ever.

[Brittany Furlan]

I love when you're depressed and you just sink into the depression and you just are like, you know what? I'M depressed.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm never listen to Radiohead as I'm depressed. That's the last thing I really. I don't. I don't get depressed listening to them. I don't phone.

[Brittany Furlan]

I could literally turn on In Rainbows and be like. And I would just.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They're there's off of

[Brittany Furlan]

it's what they're

[Josh Adam Myers]

there is off of Hail to the Thief.

[Brittany Furlan]

Hail to the Thief. Never mind. Okay. All of it up.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, you're not. No, you're not much like you were saying, you know, like about Tom, you know, because all their career paths are so different. Where Tom is this art school kid, very introspective, he hates fame immediately. And they get. Get, you know, all of this fame from Creep Y. Creep blows up and the band resents it.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, they hate it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They hate that song.

[Brittany Furlan]

Still hates it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Which they had to pay. They had to pay the Hollies because they basically stole some of the.

[Brittany Furlan]

What song?

[Josh Adam Myers]

The Air that I Breathe. If you want to pull it up, can you pull.

[Brittany Furlan]

I want to hear the comparison as

[Josh Adam Myers]

he pulls that up. The Air that I Breathe by the Hollies. It's. It's damn near identical.

[Brittany Furlan]

Really?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

I didn't know that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So you guys have probably heard me talk about how I've been in bands my whole life. I love writing songs and performing in front of crowds just like with comedy, as a musician, it can be kind of hard to cut through the noise and really stand out. As an artist. I feel like half the music projects I've been and have ended just because we couldn't figure out the answer to that eternal question of how do we get people to hear us. But then again, that was before there was Distrokid. Distrokid is a digital music distribution service that brings your sound to the masses. It's a one stop shop for getting your songs on itunes, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal and many more. What's Deezer? I never even heard of Deezer. How many of them are there? I know all that. That's like the holy grail of streaming services though. And getting paid. They want to. We want to get you paid for your music. That's huge because a lot of bands go broke before they get big. But Distrokid collects earnings and payments and sends 100% of these earnings to artists minus banking fees and applicable taxes. And that's just one of the tons of benefits of using Distrokid. You can send big files to anyone with their instant share fee feature. You can use the Hyper Follow feature to promote your release and get pre saves on your song. You can even create personal landing pages for yourself, your band, your brand and whatever you like.

Listeners of this show can get 30% off their first year by going to distrokid.com VIP the 500 that's distrokid.com VIP the500 for 30% off your first year. Dig it. But the pressure becomes because they they probably is like seen as like mid tier grunge clone and the pressure to prove that they're not a fluke is this record right? Because they could have just fallen into everything else and I mean I think it is a pivotal like them having to plan again the sequencing of the record. They I, I think when it I think that they I would love to know because I think they had to probably sit down and say man, we're going to start this record. This is our second follow up. I don't want to Be lumped in with Blur. I don't want to be lumped in with Oasis, you know, and you do have other bands like the Verve coming up, which are some of my favorite. Dude, that's why I went to England to see Oasis three times, because I wanted to see Richard. Because I love the verb.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, the verb's great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But I think they chose Planet Telex because it is so, so different than every single thing that was going on in Brit pop. And they recorded it. No. While Trump was drunk. Tom Trump. Tom was drunk, lying on the floor singing. The. The vibe of the song is almost floating. It's detached. It's like emotional dissociation. My question to you is, have you ever created something great while completely not okay? Was the vine from that whole life was the vine. Was the vine like, bro, you were

[Brittany Furlan]

like, I. I think I blew up on vine because let me tell you what happened. I got with Randall, and then I was like, hey, Randall.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Homo Randall.

[Brittany Furlan]

Stop. Randall. I'm sorry. Okay, so. Okay, so I got with Randall, and we do.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Enjoying your dad's money.

[Brittany Furlan]

Stop. His dad died.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So did mine before his dad. Dad club. Give me your thought. Three more questions and we get the out of here.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, so. So when I got with him, I was like. I had been. They put me on that antidepressant effector when I was in.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's my favorite metal band. There's not like a Scandinavian we all need factor.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, so they put me on. Effects are when I was in the. I don't say mental hospital, but it was when I was 16 and I was on 150 milligrams, and I was like this. I don't want to be on anything anymore because I don't, like. Like being stuck on anything. So I weaned myself down off that. And if you Google, like, effects or withdrawal, they say it's, like, worse than heroin. Like, it's one of the only antidepressants.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember when you didn't have any horrible.

[Brittany Furlan]

And you shake and you sweat, and it's like. It's like.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's like electric shocks.

[Brittany Furlan]

You get electric shocks and people, they don't die, but they have to get hospitalized anyway. So I weaned myself all the way off this. And I've been on it for so many years at that point that I couldn't walk straight. Like, I said, started up like, I couldn't walk straight. I couldn't go to work. I couldn't have a job. I couldn't go to auditions, nothing. And so I Was so depressed.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Whitney, you. You worked at that pizza place in. Not Hancock, but. What is that, Larchmont Village? Remember, you walked in.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yes.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You worked for an hour and you went. Peace. All right, back to the story. I'm sorry. I'm not done.

[Brittany Furlan]

Anyway, this was a dark period where I couldn't leave the house because it was the paranoia of. I was off the medicine and I, Like, I was dizzy. It had up, like, my equilibrium. I went to, like, the Balance Institute on La Ciene. Like, I thought something was wrong with me because I was like, I can't see straight. I was dizzy and shit. But it was from the effects or had literally altered my brain chemistry, so I stayed off of it. And so Randall. And actually, this is what's crazy about Randall is that I had a BlackBerry. And Randall bought me my first iPhone. He's like, you need an iPhone? So he buys me the iPhone. And I'm just in the house all day, every day. Like, I don't even know how.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You were always like that. Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

And people are like, oh, she likes going out and doing shit. Like, no, I like being well.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, but when you go out, you're. You're a people person and you can put on the. Even if you're feeling shitty. Yeah, you can. You know how to put. That's. I like the way you put that. Yeah, but go back, go back. Keep going, keep going. I like this.

[Brittany Furlan]

So I get this iPhone and I'm so depressed, and I'm. I can't walk straight. I'm dizzy. I'm, like, not doing good off of the effects or. And then I just see this app, Kelly Oxford. Remember her? She was a. She was popular writer, and I followed her on Instagram. She advertised for vine and she was like, this new app, vine is going to be so funny. So I get on there and I was like, you know, I loved comedy, but I couldn't leave the house because I was too anxious at the time, being off the medicine. So I was like, I'll just make funny videos on my phone. And that's how it started, was I was so depressed, and I was in this dark place like this, where I was like, I can't leave my house. I'm anxious. I would shake to leave the house. I couldn't help it. It was just my brain chemistry all up. So I start making these videos and I start making all these characters and the most ridiculous characters and just having so much fun and just being a idiot. And it blows up. It blows up so fast, too, within, like, Months, right? So I remember the first brand deal. I had no money at the time, right? And I was like, Benefit Cosmetics was the first company that reached out to me.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I cut. Can you say what would they cut you?

[Brittany Furlan]

So they hit me up and they go, hey, we think you're so funny. Can we pay you $10,000 to do one vine video? And I was like, six seconds. I would have did that for a lip gloss, you know what I mean? Like, I would have did that for like a blush, you know what I mean? But I was like, let me talk to my manager. And I didn't have a manager at the time. I had nothing. And then I got contacted by icm, CAA, and WME all in the same week.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I love it.

[Brittany Furlan]

And then I got. I went and had a meeting. My first meeting was with icm and I didn't really have a. I had a. Like a kind of fake manager at the time. This lady Dolores, who was in a couple commercials.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Hey, everybody.

[Brittany Furlan]

Literally, I got you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're going to be an extra on Entourage. Be careful of Heaven.

[Brittany Furlan]

She was so nice. Okay, that's. That's a story. Okay, so. But I love him. But anyway, so she. She brings me to the ICM meeting and I'm, like, sweating because, like, I am off the effector and I cannot be out in public. Like, I can do all these videos and be so funny in the comfort of my own home, but I couldn't perform. Like, I was like, I can't do this. I'm having a panic attack. Like, I'm not. I have such bad social anxiety, right? So I get into the meeting and I. I charm them, whatever. My heart's beating a million miles a minute. And then I leave the meeting. And we. We want to sign you right now. Like, we don't even want you to go meet with CAA or WME or whatever. And, like, I've never had this happen. So I was like, yeah, I just signed with them. I was like, okay, great. But then I was like, I gotta be able to function. So then I went back on the effects or literally within days, back to myself. Yeah, it's so up how bad my anxiety is. But I'm really proud of myself because I never went back to, like, the high dose. I'm literally on a dose that they give, like 2 year olds.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So I wean.

[Brittany Furlan]

I weaned myself down, down, all the way down to, like, the starting dose of it. And that's all I take. I don't take anything else. I don't do drugs. I don't smoke weed, I don't drink, I don't anything. Like, I'm just me.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But that's that, you know, it's even this. This stuff I'm doing right now, I don't know if you've seen any of it, but it's like when I went to Europe and had the best summer of my life. I mean, the best summer I live. And I came back to New York and I got really depressed because also it got super cold. And then also you're dealing with, like, I keep said that joke about herpes of comedy. It's like where I used to get all these spots of the Cellar. Now I'm barely getting any and the stand is barely giving anything. And I'm like, it's all I want to do is work, perform. And so you make your own work. So I said, well, you know what? I built this studio already in my living room, and it was like, I'm just going to make these funny songs over viral clips. And now they're blowing up and now my agents are excited and it's like, but you do that shit because, like, this will be fun.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You don't expect.

[Brittany Furlan]

You ever think anything's going to happen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

The jam, the podcast. I knew, I didn't know this podcast was going to be a thing because I. I remember when I. With the idea, I said, my. My buddy Jeremiah, who's the producer, I go, we were working on another podcast because we've done 10 episodes. The other thing, we haven't released them. I go, dude, this is a million dollar idea. Yeah, it's a million dollar idea. We'll sell this to Spotify. And then we did Dark Lord Spotify and then they dropped us because Joe Rogan took all the money. All right, all right, moving on.

[Brittany Furlan]

Anyway, so, yeah, dark period of my life, but paid off. And it was the darkest moment of my life when I made the most ridiculous content ever and I got canceled for it later, you know, because everyone was like, you're doing characters that are not your race.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Which I'm gonna ask you. Let me ask you the second question that I think that' be. I think that's a good thing to talk about from High and Dry. Tom hates this. Yeah, Tom hates High and Dry. He thinks it's too soft. And ironically, because he hated it, it becomes a hit. And I still, once again think it's the sequencing because they open with Planet Tel. The Bends is another great song. And then they have two back to back quasi ballads. But Fake Blaster Trees isn't a ballad if you actually know what it's about, which we'll get to. But High and Dry is just. Is like a. Is a typical Brit pop song of the time, but he hates it. So. Speaking of that. To pick that up, the question I was going to ask was, have what. What's something you've done that people loved but you secretly hate? And a lot of people did love it.

[Brittany Furlan]

People loved it until woke culture came around in, like, 2016. Like, that's what killed it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, everybody was doing shit like that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone was saying, you know, the R word and the F word and, you

[Josh Adam Myers]

know, doing goofy shit three times on this podcast. Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

And just being fun and no one cares. And, like, you didn't take it personally because, you know, calling someone that isn't meaning, like, to offend the people that are that, you know, I mean, just grew up in a different time, and we just made fun of each other, and we still do, endearingly, but it's like, people don't get it, and they're so woke, and they just want to cancel you for everything. So anyway, I had all these characters, and people were like, you know, you're racist. You're this, you're that. I don't have a racist bone in my fucking body. I love everybody. Like, it's crazy. And then I got asked to host the Daytime Emmys, and I was so nervous. And I remember I told them when they asked me to host it, I was like, listen, I don't know shit about daytime tv. I don't really even watch tv. You know, I was just so busy working at the time. And they were like, don't worry. We're going to have a representative there with you who's going to tell you about everybody before they come up to you, you know?

[Josh Adam Myers]

And this is Susan Lucci.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, it was so, so bad, Josh. And so then this, like, hot actor named Ryan Peavey comes up, and, like, I'm just trying to keep it light. And, like, Joan Rivers was, like, my inspiration at the time, and, like, I would go over her house and she would, like, mentor me. She was amazing. She was. Yeah, she was great. Her and Melissa, like, I went over there and did her in bed with Joan.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember that.

[Brittany Furlan]

She's the best. Anyway, comes up. Her and Melissa were always like, what? Anybody thinks they're the best. Anyway, so Ryan Peavey comes up, and I'm like, we're talking to him. And then I get the. The. The. You know, the producer's Going like, wrap it up. And so I'm like, okay, okay, Ryan, this has been great. We better get a. We get you away from us before we rape you. I said that online. Our words on live tv.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And what was. What was the fallout?

[Brittany Furlan]

And then that was it. Everyone attacked me. And they were like, can you imagine if I do remember, that man said that to a woman and you made him feel unsafe, like, all this. And then Ryan actually, we talked later that day because we actually, like, connected kind of. And he was like. Then he tweeted out, and he was like, I never felt uncomfortable or whatever. I don't think she meant it the way that I. Because he knew I was just kidding. Like, get away from. But I thought it was like, I. And it wasn't the right word. And I do apologize.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Michael Richards really is good. Racist is going to scream the N word. He was trying to be funny. He thought it was going to get shock and funny, and it was a bad choice, I don't think. I don't think yours is on that level. But we're always.

[Brittany Furlan]

But I made bad choices, and I just was not. I wasn't. What is it called? Media trained. I wasn't media trained. I was kind of just thrown into this thing. And it's like, all these things that people loved about me. Like, they did love my vines. And a lot of people still come up to me and they go, like, I love your vines.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I knew a guy that.

[Brittany Furlan]

But I cringe when I look at him now. I'm like, oh, God, what an idiot. But it was such a different time.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Some of them were so funny, dude. I remember the one that I loved was like, this is what you do with vitamins. And he threw them in the tr.

[Brittany Furlan]

I was like, these are great. I just got my green juice, and I pour it down the drain.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I had all these characters, and, like, I became friends with all these people through the vines. It was so crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You had a lot. You've been. You've had a dude. You've.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, that's how I met Tommy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, hold on. Let's get. Let's. I'm a question about that, because I think I want to go off what you're going.

[Brittany Furlan]

I remember, like, Riff Raff put me in a music video. Like, I became friends with, like, Simon Rex. Like, I got invited. Invited to, like, parties with people that I wouldn't even. Like Jimmy iv. And, like, all these people, like, inviting me to parties, and I'm like, this is you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You and King and all the guys online were like, it people.

[Brittany Furlan]

And then they all, like, managed their lives properly, and I didn't because they all have, like, 22 million followers, and I still just have like, well, why do you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Why do you not make content anymore?

[Brittany Furlan]

Because I just got to a point where I was like, okay, you know what?

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think I got the. The question.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay, okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Fake plastic trees.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I think this could fit in there. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right.

[Brittany Furlan]

But I want.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We. I want to talk.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's why I don't make content.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I bet you. I'm sorry. People think your boobs are fake. They're real.

[Brittany Furlan]

They're real.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She got a great ass.

[Brittany Furlan]

You heard it here first.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, great ass.

[Brittany Furlan]

Tommy's gonna beat the out of you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Why?

[Brittany Furlan]

He better watch.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm not touching it. Just like my sister now, you know what I mean?

[Brittany Furlan]

Like, I can say my sister has a great ass.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Jody's got a fat ass. Dude. Jody sent those three kids, and now she's working out, getting tone, dude. Her and Mark, her husband Mark.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, my God. They're both doctors.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's a lawyer. He's a judge. He's a judge.

[Brittany Furlan]

She's.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She's a lawyer. She's a doctor, a pediatrician. But they're both getting in shape. Mark's getting jacked, walking around a wife beater. I'm like, you get swole, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dead. Anyway.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Theater, though, which is gay. Fake plastic trees. This is probably the song. I mean, this is like one of their most beautiful songs. I mean, that is. Isn't. That doesn't feel like how to disappear completely, which is like, you know, I mean, it's so heavy like this. Even though this. This. It's. This is like reggae, where I talk about all the time that reggae music. People think every song is about sitting on the beach, have a naka rona, but it's really like my family died of me. So the oma. It's so. It's so real and fake. Blaster trees is. It's like the mamas and the Papas, what we just did, everybody, which is your, like the behind the scenes and the emotions and all those songs. But it sounds tones. It sounds more positive than it is. And. And so. So this song is. Is. Is. I mean, it's about breaking down. Tom broke down crying after hearing Jeff Buckley before recording vocals, which have you from doing.

[Brittany Furlan]

Watch that documentary.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I love Jeff, dude. Grace is one of my favorite records. And we did it with Brandon Boyd, too. He's the man, he gets it. He gets comedy, so. Well, you know who doesn't? Gavin Rossdale. Great guest, but, man, when I made a joke, I was like, what's it like being the sexiest man alive in the 90s? And he was like, we're talking about David Bowie, right? And I'm like, okay. Just the business.

[Brittany Furlan]

He's like, what do you mean I'm not still the sexiest man alive?

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I said that to. To. To. To Brandon. And he goes, it was nice.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, Brandon still looks great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's amazing. I'm glad we're homies. Please follow me on social media.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, he doesn't follow you, but the

[Josh Adam Myers]

theme of this song is artificial life, fake house, happiness, you know? And you hear that in the lyrics. I mean. I mean, one. I mean, this song must mean so much to you about, like. Because this is such a. It's such a beautiful song.

[Brittany Furlan]

Such a beautiful song.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Especially that. Like, those. When it really like that. Dude, Nick, we killed. We killed it. We killed. I'll post all these clips on the 500 stuff because we did. We did closer by nine inch nails. The version did dude. And mur. Because we do. We got a new keyboardist. I love you, Avery, but Marcus, Wait, am I.

[Brittany Furlan]

Hold on. I want to see something really quick. Yeah, no, that. I'm just thinking of the specific lyrics in fake plastic trees.

[Josh Adam Myers]

The fake plastic watering can. Everything's fake. Fake trees

[Brittany Furlan]

and fake pl.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So when you have your.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wears me out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know why I was saying. And it wears me out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could. Oh, this part's really sad. This is the part that gets me at the end. And if I could be.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, yeah. Who you? Oh, I. Dude, I killed it. The f my voice was back, I wasn't. Oh, I, I, I hit my. Dude, my false. After I had that second vocal cord surgery. It saved my voice. Dude, thank God. Love you, Dr. Kaplan. I love you. He just did a nasal procedure to open up my too.

[Brittany Furlan]

You're so Jewish wish. All right, thank you, Dr. Captain for fixing my nose. Of my nasal surgery.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I got him, my vet and my botox guy all on speed.

[Brittany Furlan]

Now you get broox.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm glad you told me because remember how deep my lines were? Yeah, you were the one that I was 20 deep lines because of the jeep.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'll take every guy. Be like, you need to get this. I try to fix every man that I'm with. Do I not?

[Josh Adam Myers]

You really do. All right, but okay, but listen, let me ask you this question.

[Brittany Furlan]

Lives with a broken mind to sing it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Listen, we've been doing this for three hours.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm like, let me see.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Let me ask the question. I love you have. When did you. Or was there. When was a moment in your career where you looked around and. And in your life and thought, this all feels kind of fake?

[Brittany Furlan]

Did you literally. Yesterday. I was literally sitting there yesterday and going, like, LA is so fake. I know a lot of people, but I don't have very many, like, close friends and people that have pretended to be my friend to use me or get out of me or whatever. Like. And it's hurt me so badly. And, like, I.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Maybe you help you. You tried to help you.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You learned. Because we learned very early from, like, Tripoli and all the young of the comics that kind of were in our. In the circle with me and Ange that were bigger than us. It's like, you got to pull people up.

[Brittany Furlan]

I pulled people up without going into

[Josh Adam Myers]

details, but, you know, you did.

[Brittany Furlan]

Pulled so many people up, and I would just love so hard, and then I would just get shit on. I mean, some of them were really great, and some of them. We just grew apart, and that's fine. But I just was thinking about. And even recently, like, people that I just got. I just felt like, you know, had hurt me and had just kind of used me in a way, and I just was like, it's heartbreaking. It, like, breaks your heart, you know, because you. I try to go in. I'm. I don't want to say I'm, like, autistic, but I feel like I'm very genuine. And I go into everything with so much love, and then I almost go into it with too much love. And I give so much of myself, and I'm so raw, and I'm so honest. And then people. People just break me. And I've been broken so much by. By people. And I'm not saying I'm perfect. I definitely, you know, maybe I'm not an easy friend. I think I'm more of an easy friend, but I definitely have gone through things that maybe was a lot for certain people, whatever. But I love my friends so much. And I. And I. And I. I never want to let go of friends. I always want to, like, have friends. But it's like when someone really hurts me or when I get really hurt by something, I just can't. I can't go back.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

You know, and I sit there and I'm, like, recently, like, looking at stuff that's happened in my life and I'm like, God, I got like this person pretended to be my friend just to do this or this person just, you know, wanted this and I'm like, God. And it's like, you know, or they would. The worst part is like people that would like talk about somebody to me and like for months just rail on somebody and then, then, then change their tune and then be friends with that person and I just see it all and I'm just like, this is just sad. Like, this is just heartbreaking, man. Like, at least like keep it real, you know what I mean? Like, I know there's people that don't like me and I'll walk and I'll walk into a room and I just won't say anything to them and that's fine. But I'm not like a mean person. I'm not going to go out of my way to hurt people. You know what I mean? Like, I just, I don't know, it kind of just breaks my heart and then I'm just like, yeah, I get guess like people can only be genuine to the capacity that they can be genuine. And you know, and I'm actually, I'm working on repairing some friendships right now too, which has been, you know, good. And I always think like there is an opportunity forgive for forgiveness. And I think both people can always come together and try to work on stuff. But that's like the hardest thing for me about LA is that like I feel like I go into everything was so much love and just show people who I am. I'm like a raw nerve. And then some people just are like, or like, you know, you, you know, whatever. And I'm just.

[Josh Adam Myers]

All you got to do is keep your side of the street clean. And then you have to like, I'm

[Brittany Furlan]

saying, I'm not sitting here going like I'm so perfect but like, damn. Like, I'd like to think for the most part like I love my friends really hard or I try to really be there for people and then people just.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're in a town that has everybody's the big thing from their town or they're rich and they think they, they can make it that. Dude, I' been happier than when I moved to New York. And I mean this.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's not perfect, different. It's not perfect though.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's not perfect. It's. It's. The standup is still stand up.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And like I'm telling you, that's why I'm so excited about this music because I write these songs so easily and People are responding to them, and I. And the comics are coming up to me being like, I. My. I like, my. My agents call me and be like, you're doing whatever you're doing, keep doing it. And that's the thing that my agents don't call me. Put a clip in front of. I think you posted anything in, like, nine months.

[Brittany Furlan]

I did. I posted the other day. I'm trying to get to it. So, like, basically, I stopped everything for a while because I was just so hurt by so many things that were going on in my life. I was literally so destroyed by so much that was going on in my life, brokenhearted by so much that I'd been through. And then you just pick yourself up. Like, I've always picked myself up. No matter what I've been through, I always just go, you know what? Get back up on the horse. And so I actually just started going. I told the clubs I'm available to do standup again, and they literally all called me immediately and were like, come back. Come perform form. Like. So I'm like, it's crazy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember when you reached out and you said, hey, I got a bunch of stuff I want to talk about. And you're like, who should I hit up? I was like, hit up, Tammy Joe. Like, and then.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, and then now, because I did, like, the improv and the Laugh Factory so many times, and I, you know, I do well. And they just were like, they. If they were hitting me up this whole time when I took this break, and I was just like, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. And then finally I was like, no, I can do it. Let's go.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You can do anything you want.

[Brittany Furlan]

You can do anything.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're so funny. You're so talented, you know?

[Brittany Furlan]

Anyway, no hate to anyone. I. I love. I love people. And we're. None of us are perfect, and we all do our best, and that's what it is. And that's life. You know, we. Sometimes we hurt each other and we don't mean to, and. I don't know, just life.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And you're literally, you know, you. And you got started in a thing where social media created and still creates fake plastic lives. I mean, it is.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, it is, dude. That's why I'm so glad.

[Brittany Furlan]

I made me hate myself so much. I, like, redid my whole face.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So funny.

[Brittany Furlan]

People being like, you're ugly, or you this or you that, or she's this or she's that, and I was like,

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm trying to be funny. If my tits are out, I'm doing this. You're not gonna laugh.

[Brittany Furlan]

I wasn't trying to be hot on Vine. I was being ridiculous. Like, I was like, that's not the goal. The goal was to be funny, dude. But then everybody comments about your looks because you're putting yourself out there. So you. Just.

[Josh Adam Myers]

For a woman, it's. I mean, for guys, they don't give a how we look. I mean, that's the thing.

[Brittany Furlan]

So then you start to analyze yourself

[Josh Adam Myers]

and you're like, yeah, but you're. But yes, but you're in a. Like I said social once you. You know, because I had a big moment where I was like, social. I would go on social media and I would just be like, oh, everybody's doing better and blah, blah, blah. And. And then I was like, what am I talking about? This is. This is the fakest thing in the world. And then I said, nobody. And then do you have to realize everybody. And I mean everybody except for Lekka. More. Everybody in this room. Everybody. The Hollies, Everybody we've talked about is. We're all in the. Like everybody else. We're all scared. We're all trying to figure this out. We're all trying to figure out a way to be happy. And. And you figured out a way. And I figured out a way. Like, I figured out a way. And we have to. You have to live that. And. And if people attack you, they're attacking. They're just projecting.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, I think that's.

[Josh Adam Myers]

If you. If you're gonna. Dude, I still. Dude, I can't tell you how many times I was like. Wanted to write something on like, like some like, lame, cringy influencer post or whatever. And then I'm like, I write it and I go, what am I doing?

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. Why would you even. Why would I post that?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Do people hate.

[Brittany Furlan]

They're already hurting them hate on me

[Josh Adam Myers]

for what I do. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're coat hanging on big J. O. And I go, I'm coat hanging on Burr if I'm not. Trust me, if I'm. You think I'm sticking with Jay doing the doctor grins. He's killing it. And he's going to. He's got. Coming up that this. I'm. I love that dude. Were.

[Brittany Furlan]

But people are just miserable online and people feel so brave behind their keyboards. And then, like, if you met up with half those people in person, they'd be shaking in their Boots, like, they don't. They're so tough online. And then like, you, you see them face to face and you're like, oh, never.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, I can't tell you how many times do people, not real people, have on me. And then, and then I either see them, I go to Skank Fest where a lot of the Legionist Gang fans are like, he sucks. He's not funny. And it's, it's like. And then, then they. And then I get so much love from. From Bonfire fans, from Legion of Skank fans. And so that's what I hold on to. It didn't used to hurt me. I used to go on Reddit and like, read the wor. It's the worst. And.

[Brittany Furlan]

But Reddit's like where people go to just like, they're just. They hate their lives and they just want to make everybody else hate their lives. So, like, I stopped kind of. I leave my mean comments up. I don't like, delete comment. I'm like, you know what? If that makes you feel better, dude, dude, like, cool. Like, it's all good.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So when I started posting the, the first song which hit like, it just did really well. It's almost. It's around 2 million now.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And it's quasi racist. It's this white woman doing her nails and, and they're crazy nails. And I'm like, that's more of a black person thing to do. It's great.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So I'm very talented at the music stuff. Comedy, not so much. But the moral story is I got people that were like, any of the bad comedy comments, and my social guy, the guy that does my clips and does all that, like, he would remove them, but I would pin the people like, I can't believe I follow you. Unfollow. And I'd pin that because I think it's funny.

[Brittany Furlan]

And then the power out of it because it's like, okay, dude, like, who are you? What are you doing? And then you go to their case, when you go to their page, it's always like, like a Christian, like, mother of five, love my children. Like, it's so funny. Like the women that will say stuff about my looks or like the guys that say about my looks, and you go to their page and.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And it's like they got like, Oakley's on.

[Brittany Furlan]

He's got like, the guy's got like summer teeth. Like, summer here, some are there. You know what I mean? Like, it's crazy. Like, it's like, I've never heard that Like Bill from Wisconsin or some just. I'm a corn miner. Like, I don't know.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's just a real joke.

[Brittany Furlan]

They're just like, the most, like. And they just leave the most hideous comments. And you're just like, you hate your life. Like, you hate your life. Like, you're not a happy person. Here's the. The thing. No one who is doing better than you will ever try to bring you down 100.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I agree with that. No one, even if not one person

[Brittany Furlan]

who is ever doing better than you will ever try to bring you down. Because they don't need to. They're, like, too high up to even give a. About what you're doing.

[Josh Adam Myers]

If you give a. That's the only. The only thing that Gerard I remember he said when I was like, I was mad about something in my career, and he goes, dude, stop. Stop looking at other people's papers. Take your own test.

[Brittany Furlan]

Amen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You got it. And I was like, great. I mean, but it took a while. It's really. I think. And I'll say this to you, and I think you're getting it already. In your late 30s is once you get into your 40s, you realize that it's. It's. Dude, it's like. I mean, I just so dope. My. Like, my life is so dope.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. I just want peace.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So dope.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And even if it's not, I'm not a millionaire, you know? And. And I. I mean, it's like, I can't. I can't buy everything that I want.

[Brittany Furlan]

Right.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But I get to. I get things that I want to do with cool people that like me that I like, and I don't give a. If I don't care. It's not like I don't try to like people and make them like me. It's like, I just want to like them.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And then hopefully they'll like me, but it's like, if I like them, dude. Because even with Bill, it was like, it took me forever because I was like, oh, man, I really hope he likes me. And then, like, maybe five years into our friendship, I finally called him gay. And he was like. And I was like. And he's like, yeah, that was a little gay. I was like, oh, thank God.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's how you know he's really your friend.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's the best. Anyway, all right, moving on. Let's do a couple more songs, and then we'll do final questions and get you out of here. So we did Fake Plastic, High and Dry. You look Beautiful.

[Brittany Furlan]

Thanks. I was gonna send Tommy a picture because he's like, are you still going?

[Josh Adam Myers]

What's something you know about you but you still do? Now let's. I don't. All right. Let me mention these songs because I. I just want to get through. I want to ask questions. But it goes into Bones, which is one of their more aggressive.

[Brittany Furlan]

I don't know if I know that one.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's about body horror image, you know. So it's. I was going to. To say what's the weirdest physical insecurity but.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh my God, I've already covered that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You covered it. Nice. Dream. Dream versus reality theme Comfort. That isn't real. Just. We talked about that music video. If you've never seen it go on YouTube. It's great, guys. Lying on the sidewalk refusing to explain why the song is about self destruction and knowing better but doing it anyway.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wow.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Talk rapid fire. Question and say this quickly. What's something you know is bad for you but you still like to do it?

[Brittany Furlan]

Bless you, mom.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Bless you.

[Brittany Furlan]

What's something.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Something you know is bad for you but you still like to do it? Cigarettes.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh boy. I'm. I smoke occasionally.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm not always. We're kind of in and out, but. Tommy huffs.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. He's like me, that's why I quit smoker. But I see it was me like again, I'm not like really addicted to anything but love and as well. But no but like literally smoking's not good. But I. I've never been addicted to smoking. Like I can smoke a cigarette, a couple cigarettes a day and then not smoke for. For days and smoke. Like I've never had anything where I'm like, I have to have. You know. Thank God. Knock on wood.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I always say it's bad. I mean the smoking dude. You know what it is? Eggs man. Remember you called me. You start making fun of me because my cholesterol. No, I don't fart, dude. I mean I do, but especially I love eggs.

[Brittany Furlan]

I eat hard boiled eggs every day.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I do. I love. I think the greatest meal protein is

[Brittany Furlan]

I think I work out.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You look great. Yeah, you're. You're great. Great. That's. You guys. Guns.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude, I'll beat your ass.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, you won't.

[Brittany Furlan]

I won't.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No. No.

[Brittany Furlan]

Leo, would you doing CrossFit for a while.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I still do it. Yeah.

[Brittany Furlan]

Pro.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I love. I like, I'm very vain. But I also like, I can't. I can't do oxygotten anymore. So I do. I do kettle Bell swings. I want to feel something.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's a. That's a quote.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, I said I joke anymore. I was like. I was like. I was like, I do CrossFit. It's like, no, it's like, so do CrossFit because I can't do OxyContin anymore, and I just need to feel something. Or whatever the joke was, it was on my first Comedy Central set. All right. Bulletproof. We already do that one. Oh, yeah. So. Oh, no. My Iron Lung.

[Brittany Furlan]

You have to sing these for me because it's like, is. Sing it. Don't do that.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Iron. My Iron Lung. You love that song. We talked about that. This is a direct response.

[Brittany Furlan]

This whole album's just so good. I mean, they're. They're one of those bands that, like, I feel like so many of their albums are so good, but this one might have the most. I don't want to say hits, but, like, so many songs.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Pop record.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. Like, I feel like so many songs that you're like, oh, I know that song. Oh, I know that song. Oh, I know that song. You know what I mean?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Like, a lot of this stuff is like, I said, this is. This is, you know, My Iron Lung, which was in. It was in Clueless. It's so. It was like. You mean, you put it in a movie. That's pretty. You know, they didn't really have a lot of hits. I mean, would say big hits. Like, Creep is obviously their biggest hit.

[Brittany Furlan]

They had so many big hits.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, they didn't. They really didn't.

[Brittany Furlan]

Radiohead.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, their album sell. Their album sell. Dude, they are an album band, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

They have so many hits.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, they do. Check mark. Or I could.

[Brittany Furlan]

I could list them now.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Well, like, the hits. I don't know how many top 10 or the top 100. They hit that. Billboard 200. Do that. Billboard 200 radio. Billboard 200 hundred hits.

[Brittany Furlan]

I like the dog.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Myron Lung is a response to Creep. You know, I think you already answered the thing that made you famous, but you're over it. We've already talked about that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Bulletproof, one of Tom's most vulnerable vocal performances. What do we got there? Yeah, see, it's all the albums, dude.

[Brittany Furlan]

They're just the singles.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah,

[Brittany Furlan]

dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But. But I would say, like, Bulletproof is. Is such a beautiful vocal performance. The theme is about wanting emotional investment. Invent invincibility.

[Brittany Furlan]

That would be nice.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And we. You already basically answered the question about what I was going to ask about. You know, do you think you're more guarded or open Black Star is about. About a failing relationship.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

See, dude, they never. They didn't have hits. Let down. But let down is like bigger. It got big now, dude, radio is having a research did radio. It does Coachella. If radio is doing Coachella that because Nine Inch Nails. I don't know if you remember two years ago Deftones played Coachella.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everybody loves the Deftones.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We all do for years. But Gen Z didn't know about them.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, now they're all over TikTok with it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They went from being a 3,000 seat theater and now they're playing arenas. I know Radiohead doesn't need it. They're an arena band. If they play Coachella, they're already starting to get it. Because dude, Rodeohead is a band. They're like my Pink Floyd, my Beatles, my Led Zeppelin. Like, because it hits you at that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Gen X is the best generation. We are the best.

[Brittany Furlan]

Gen X. We're millennials.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I'm Gen X. You're Gen X79.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, I think millennials are the best.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, you guys are fine.

[Brittany Furlan]

I think we're great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're still good, but you're not Gen X. Gen X rules. Jack White dude here's a good Gen X too.

[Brittany Furlan]

We're millennials. Excuse me. Millennials are so cool. We don't take too seriously. We all look younger than our age. Like, we are the best millennials. Like all these Gen Z idiots that try to tell us about. And Gen X is a little bit too boomery off.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're a little Suck my balls. That's terrible.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's a boomery comment. Suck my. Suck my. Gen Z Gen X balls or Gen Z balls.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, that's.

[Brittany Furlan]

You guys are. We said that we created it. That's the ball bomb.

[Josh Adam Myers]

All the best comedy. All the best is from people from Gen X. And I'm telling you this is all right. We're at two hours. We'll talk about this. We're going to bite the.

[Brittany Furlan]

Let's fight.

[Josh Adam Myers]

All right.

[Brittany Furlan]

So now I want to fight. We've been hanging out too long. It's time to fight now.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You're starting to get vicious now. Turning now. Now old Britney's coming out. Old. Black Star. It's about a failing relationship. Such a beautiful song. No, no. This is gonna do. This is great. I love this episode Black Star about a failing relationship. We already talked about that. When you know something is ending, do you fight or let it die?

[Brittany Furlan]

And you know, it depends.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You what do you. Your fighter? I think to a Point, I think.

[Brittany Furlan]

I mean, my relationship now, I've been in for 10 years. Yeah. I'm gonna fight for it. That's a long.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember that.

[Brittany Furlan]

I remember it'll be 10 years, 20 years next year. So you know what I think when it's that long, like, you fight for it because it's like, come on, man. Like, that's basically like a relative at that point. Like, you spend so much time together.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So inspired by real life, mass shooting in the uk. One of their most underrated tracks, I think.

[Brittany Furlan]

So. I've done a lot of that in my life.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean, then Street Spirit, which is. Is. I mean, it's just Tom York says. Says this song is about pure darkness. The arpeggiated guitar, the hypnotic despair. I want to talk. I want to ask you this question about Street Spirit. And what was the other one I wrote? Street Spirit and where is it? God damn it. And High and Dry.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, boy.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Be honest.

[Brittany Furlan]

I've left. Been left High and dry.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Was dating me. Oh, more hired dry or street spirit?

[Brittany Furlan]

That's a hard question, because I feel like at the end it was high and dry because it was sad. And it was kind of like I felt like I left you high and dry because you were in your addiction, even though you say you're not.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I wasn't because I got sober before that. And then when you left, I relapsed.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. So I felt like. What it. I felt like when you got into the accident and you. I was your emergency contact.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's the only number I remembered. 2156-152159-15475. That's close enough.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's my old number, so you can call it Fairy. Not my number anymore.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's a fairy number.

[Brittany Furlan]

But I remember. Remember, I got that call, and from the hospital, they were like, josh, you came.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You came.

[Brittany Furlan]

Of course I did.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Because we needed. I wanted. What I really wanted was. Was you to get in touch with me.

[Brittany Furlan]

I have the pictures. You want me to give them? Do you put in here?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Maybe not now. Not now. Maybe. Maybe some other time when I'm ready, guys.

[Brittany Furlan]

His skull was, like, cracked open.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Fractured my skull in two places.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I remember I walked in and they had just brought both of them in, and I saw them. Gurney. Angela.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I didn't see Angela.

[Brittany Furlan]

I saw gurney him off. And then they took him to the room, and I went into the room with you. And then, because you guys were both kind of like in the. They were both working on both of you, and then you went into this room, and I went in with you, and the back of your head was open, and there was just a big puddle of blood underneath your head. Like this big. I have pictures of it. And you looked dead. And I remember thinking I was on

[Josh Adam Myers]

fentanyl, So I was like, yeah, I

[Brittany Furlan]

remember thinking you looked dead. And you were like, you came. That's what you said to me. You said, you came. And I was like, oh, my God, this is so horrible. And then the nurse goes, can I talk to you? Like, five minutes after me being there? And I go out into the hallway, and she goes, do you have the contact for Angelo.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Angelo's family? Do they know? Because. No, I was told by a girl,

[Brittany Furlan]

and then they go, he's. And I said, what's going on? They're like, he's gone.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, that.

[Brittany Furlan]

At that time, yes, they told me, and I knew, and they wouldn't let me tell you. They said, don't tell him because he's too. You were too fragile.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I thought it was.

[Brittany Furlan]

I know. I knew he was dead before all you guys. I knew before. So here's the other thing they made me do. The police came, right? Because when someone dies, the police come, and they said, he's dead, but you're gonna have to tell his mom. It's Mom Virginia, right?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah. So she love you, Virginia.

[Brittany Furlan]

So you have to call her, but don't tell her that he's dead. The police told me. They said, we have to do it, so just tell her to come. And I remember. Remember I called Virginia, and I knew he was dead. And she kept going, is he okay? Is he okay? And I kept saying, I don't know. I don't know. And she was up in Bakersfield, or

[Josh Adam Myers]

it was in Modesto.

[Brittany Furlan]

Modesto. I'm sorry. Modesto. And she had to drive, what, six hours or however long. Five, six hours. And she's calling me while she's driving, and she's going, what's going on? What's going on? And I knew he was gone already, and I couldn't say anything. Dude, it was hard. Oh, my God. It was probably one of the worst days of my life. It was horrible. Like, I was so heartbroken. And you kept asking about. About him, and I.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And everybody was.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I was like, this is literally the horrible. Okay. So high and dry. Yeah, that. And I felt like I left you high and dry because I was like, I have to let. And the cops were, like, telling me to lie, and they're like, you can't tell them, because if they get too distressed. Like you're. You could die because your skull was open. And they couldn't fix your skull right away because it was something like the brain is swollen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They thought they were trying to check to see if they had. Because your brain. You have your skull and then you have like a sack.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yes.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And they were hoping I would have. Need brain surgery, but the sack didn't break.

[Brittany Furlan]

It didn't rip. They were. But they were scared it was going to. And your brain was swollen. So they were like, we can't have him stressed. We have to keep him not stressed. Just lie to him. And I remember at one point you were laughing and thinking everything was going to be okay before you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, I thought. I thought me and him were going to be in the hospital together. I was like, I was. So. I'm not excited, but I thought because. And I. And I probably have said this to you.

[Brittany Furlan]

It hit on his side. Right.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But what happened was. Was.

[Brittany Furlan]

Do you remember?

[Josh Adam Myers]

I remember all of it. I can tell you the last thing I said to Angelo before we got hit. So we. We were on our way to. So we left. So I've talked about before. Angelo had beaten cancer. He had gotten back, and. And we had broken up. But I go, well, at least I got ang. I was. I got ang. And I was like, oh, I'll be happy. And so I. I went to our old place, picked up my trash bags of clothes, which I could do now. I have way too many clothes. I mean, more than a trash bag. And then I went to the new apartment, which I was like, oh, God, this place sucks. Sucks. And I went to go meet Angela to open mic, and he went on stage. And then I went on stage and, like, vented about the breakup or whatever. And I was using. So I was on. I was on painkillers. But painkillers, like, had nothing to do with this whole situation. I mean, I've done so much on painkillers. It was like my normal baseline. And. And so then I went on stage, and I was very lucky. I got to tell him how much I loved him. You know, I said, I thought Britney was in love. My life. I was like, angela, you're the love of my life. I'm so happy to see you. And then we went outside and we laughed. And then we were like, let's go get food. And we usually would go to canners, but we thought, let's get. Let's get Maddie Goldberg. Because he loved.

[Brittany Furlan]

And.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And so we. We drove. We drove to House of Pies and we're driving up Vine. So the last thing, the last thing I had with Angela was a laugh. And this is funny. You're gonna, you're gonna hate it, but this is the last thing we said. We're driving up vine and you know the Capitol Records building here, and yuck is here.

[Brittany Furlan]

You're making fun of Randall.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, yeah, that's where Randall lives. And Angelo goes, that dude's a. And then we're laughing and then we get hit. And that's it.

[Brittany Furlan]

I look, she wearing a red light, right?

[Josh Adam Myers]

She knows a guy or a guy. He, he, he was going 80 miles an hour. He, he was running from another accident. And I've forgiven the guy. Like, I said it in court. I was like, I was like, dude, I got it. You were scared. You know what I mean? I get it. It's like, I get it.

[Brittany Furlan]

But he hit the passenger side.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He hit right out front. He didn't hit on Angelo. He hit right in the front of the car. But how did Angelo. I only had one. Se was working. That's why I was thrown from the car, because I went out.

[Brittany Furlan]

Was Angel's seat belt working? And he always put his seat belt on.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He didn't know his. Mine was working. My clicker was working. So he went across to plug his in. The reason Angelo died was he had still, he had. Had that tumor removed. And so his insides were a little sensitive. And so when you get hit in a car accident, you, your body shifts because you're going, you're still going that speed. I went out the door. My door had that weird latch, remember? And I went out the door and I fucking hit my head on the ground and breaking the skull. Ang hits the seat belt. It tightens. Your body goes like that, but your organs still move. And so he ripped whatever the inside

[Brittany Furlan]

was where he had the surgery.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And so here, this is like. I don't know. I don't want to say this because I, I'm, I'm like, I've accepted it. I. Bad stuff happens to good people all the time. And, and Ang is like, you know, every, there's so much good. Like, Ang is still so much.

[Brittany Furlan]

I still think of him all, all

[Josh Adam Myers]

the time, every day.

[Brittany Furlan]

He would have been so wonderful.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He would have been the big one. We would have made millions of dollars together. He was the, he was everything I wanted and, and I was everything he wanted. We were just so connected. Like, I, I, it's, it's, it's like you have, like, regardless of the love we had, there's like the connection that him and I had, it was like, we just finished.

[Brittany Furlan]

You guys were the best. Best.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He was the best. And. And I still. Dude, at the gym jam in Austin, you know, I said something. I forget which. I was like, I don't know what song it was, but I sang it and then. Or something. And I was like, this is an Angelo joke. And then I said it and the crowd laughed. And I said. And I said, I still. I'll do it all the time. He's like, watch his clips. There's not much, but you can see the genius he was.

[Brittany Furlan]

So.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I always tell people one of his jokes. I say say never say. Because people, I'll say, this is the funniest guy. And they go, all right. And I go, he would have been the next day of tell. They're like, all right. I go, I'll tell you one of his jokes. They say, never say somebody's joke. But then I say one of my favorites. He goes, my dad used to say, there's no I and you need to play football. And it always gets a laugh every time.

[Brittany Furlan]

The way he read off of the piece of paper. And it was just the driest, funniest delivery. It was.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So he stayed on our couch because he. He. He didn't want to work. He wanted to wander the earth. He did. He was like a radio. He was. He was okay. Computer. He was like. He was like, this life is meaningless.

[Brittany Furlan]

And he wore a backpack. And he walked over.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He carried him huge, which made you jealous. And he hit the giant as.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, my God. I do remember he did. Yeah. Gretchen.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Byron once. Because when he was living in my place or when I was staying in my place one time, he would be. Ma. He was masturbating on his, like a. Pictures of. Of Gretchen.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And like Byron, like, about to walk in the house and had that little window that looked in the room. He just saw Angelo's huge out. And Angela's jerk, jerk, jerk. Picks up the phone. Jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk. It's I, dude. God bless his soul. But like I said, it's like, I. You know, this is. This is that bad stuff. The more you talk to people. Mine just happened to be out in public and to see the community in. In stand up, like, shut down. Like, it. It was devastating because he was so loved and no one knew what to do. And him dying, much like when Brody Stevens died.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, Brody too.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And that's why I'm so happy, you know, to bring up jelly roll. It's like, dude, I Remember one night on the tour, he was just. He changed my life financially in so many different ways. Not just that, you know, but he paid me way more than I deserved. And the moral of the story is, is, like, I remember how heavy he was. And I was like. And one night, he was. We doing a toast and all these people, and I started crying because I'm like. I was like, he's gonna die. He's like £600. Because the universe always takes the good ones. They come here, they do good, and then they always put. They never. It's like that. My buddy. I was it Kirill. Which is Live Forever. It's the truth that, you know, they always live forever. But what. What is good about it is. Is like. Is like the Jam. And, dude, I made my production logo. You know, Road Dog Entertainment. That's my llc, the podcast. It was. It was. You know, because it took six years of like, dude, when the Jam was taking off, I was a fucking junkie. A junkie. I sold my show on oxycontin. I mean, but. And I'm very lucky that I didn't

[Brittany Furlan]

blow your money on drugs and proud of you.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I blew the benefit money on drugs. All the benefit money that they gave me. But, dude, what am I supposed to do? There's no instructions of how to handle something that you go through. And, you know, I. My mom gave me money for a car, and I got insurance money, and people thought I spent all the money on that Cadillac. And I was like, dude, no. I was like. But also, like, everybody thought because of the drugs, I was okay. They were like, because, dude, Everybody. I had 500 visitors. I remember the staff at Cedar Sign. I thought I was this huge celebrity. And because, dude, every day, it was just. It was really beautiful. But then when I got out because of the drugs, I felt great. And I was doing spots, and then. And then everybody just slowly stopped calling. And then I was alone. And then, you know, I sobered up. You know, big ups to Julia Ler, because I told her, and she was so sweet and. And helped me out, and I got through it. And then, you know, then I was. Got to a place. I started the jam.

[Brittany Furlan]

And.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Because I knew. Never worked on it. I never worked on the pain that I was still caring. The survivor's guilt, because it's. That's a real thing. I. When. When the jam started taking off, I mean, immediately, because all the industry in Hollywood just was there. And I felt like I didn't deserve it. I felt it was like. It's like I'm an addict, so it's like I have a raging ego, but I feel like a piece of. And. And so I just like. I mean, every jam from December 2014 until May of 2016, I mean, I was loaded, I felt great. And. And then I cleaned up.

[Brittany Furlan]

When did you clean up?

[Josh Adam Myers]

May 16, 2016.

[Brittany Furlan]

And you don't use any of that stuff anymore?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, I haven't even had anything. Not. I mean, dude, it was. Funny story. When I was in Munich, I broke my wrist. I fell off a scooter. We were riding around scooters because Jelly has this strong weed. And I was like, oh, I'll take a hit. And riding around. My whole point. Point was to like find landmarks. He wanted to see everything. So I go, all right. So I was like, oh, the beer hall pooshed. And I show him, hey, dude, it's the beer hall poosh. It's like where the Nazi party started. He goes, why are we here? And I'm like, it's a famous landmark.

[Brittany Furlan]

Because.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, but it's the Nazis. It doesn't matter. I'm not talking about Nazis. It's a famous thing. And I go, it's kind of like going to like where the Beatles did their final performance on the rooftop. He goes, are you comparing the Beatles to Hitler? I'm like, not them, but the thing. It's a, It's a long landmark.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And then I. And then we're like. They laugh about it. And I go, trust me, I think it's apt. I think I like this. And then I go, all right, let's take off. And then right in front, I. I see a guy jump the curb on a bike, but I thought it was a ramp. I'm so high. So I go at it like 20 kilometers an hour. And I flip over and I. And I pull my wrist back and I thought I sprained it. And then the next morning, I wake up at 6am in the worst pain of my life. And I call the downstairs. They call me a cab and because I have to. We were leaving at noon, so I have to be at lobby call and be on a flight at like, like one o'.

[Brittany Furlan]

Clock.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And so I go to the hospital, which is. I remember it was so funny. They were like, there. I was like, dude, it's going to be busy, so turn into Daniel Day Lewis. And I walk in like, and it's empty. And I'm like, ah, hey, I think I hurt my wrist. Can I get in there? And the woman goes, the woman goes, this is the Best part, the woman goes. She goes, have you taken a painkiller yet? And I'm like, no, but now I'm in pain. So I'm like, all right, what am I about to get?

[Brittany Furlan]

No.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She goes, here's. Have ibuprofen. And I go. And I go, ibuprofen.

[Brittany Furlan]

Someone must have told them that you were.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, no, no. That's what they give. They don't give opiates.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's not true. In.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Just in Germany. So she gives me ibuprofen, and I'm like, this ain't going to work. It worked. It worked.

[Brittany Furlan]

I feel like someone on that team

[Josh Adam Myers]

was probably like, no, there was nobody in the team there. It was me by myself.

[Brittany Furlan]

Really.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They didn't have any of my charts. They couldn't accept my insurance.

[Brittany Furlan]

Well, I'm really proud of you for staying clean.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And so she gives me an ibuprofen. I go, it works. And I go, I wish I would have known this worked. I wouldn't have had 16 years of crippling opiate addiction. So big up. Sad. I wasn't. There's people way worse. But my buddy did once say, the guy sold me drugs. He goes, I never. The only person that took opiates more than you was was Corey Haim.

[Brittany Furlan]

And I remember you driving downtown.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, he used to go, well, it was downtown comedy club. My first dealer was at the.

[Brittany Furlan]

The Cecil and then the Cecil Hotel.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And he was in the documentary that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Guys.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He was in the documentary, dude, you only see one of your friends in a commercial and you're like, oh, my God, it's Frank.

[Brittany Furlan]

There's my drug dealer.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, my God, it's gay Alvin with the back, bad kidneys. And then.

[Brittany Furlan]

Anyway, glad you're not on opiates.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Anyway, no, I. And I'll never go back. I know what I can't do. I can't drink. I can't do coke. I can't. I was drinking during. I was drinking during Europe, having lager and wine. And I was being very responsible, Frank. Very responsive dude. I mean it. Responsible. Like, I didn't get drunk. I was like, oh, my God. Maybe I grew out of this. And then I came back to America and I got depressed, and then I started drinking, and then I did. Then I was like, how do I get rid of this? I was like, give myself a hangover. And I did coke. That being said, if you're out there, and I know I talked about them a lot, Watch the little clips. And if there's a person that you love in Your life. Tell them you love them because you might never be able to do it.

[Brittany Furlan]

I feel short guys. Go after what you want and love who you want and don't be scared to tell people you love them. And, you know, be. And be cool with people. Like, if you can always end on a good note with people, it's better than having animosity.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Keep your side of the street clean. Just be a good person. Be an Angela. Be care.

[Brittany Furlan]

You don't.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You know, we all have egos. We all have. But just like your ego's not your amigo, and. And just. Just love people and put love first and just have fun with what you do. Let's wrap this up.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

This is so great. All right.

[Brittany Furlan]

Gen X is the best generation. Your ego is not your amiga.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's good.

[Brittany Furlan]

That's some Gen X right there.

[Josh Adam Myers]

So what I think we got to do. I'm gonna do these five little facts, and we'll do final questions.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

This is some interesting things about this record.

[Brittany Furlan]

My husband's like, are you dead? No, no, he is. Wait, hang on. Oh, he's out. I sent Tommy a picture of you and I, and he said, whose dad is that?

[Josh Adam Myers]

All right, all right. Boomer. He's a boomer.

[Brittany Furlan]

He said, whose dad is that?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, my God.

[Brittany Furlan]

Tommy Lynn. The ride is out right now, you guys.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Tom York was on Apple Music. We'll play it. We'll play it. Tom York was deeply uncomfortable with fame during this era. The band nearly broke up from all that pressure. Thank God they didn't. This album is often seen as the bridge between grunge and art rock. I agree with that fans debate.

[Brittany Furlan]

My pussy's the bridge between grunge and art rock.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's grunge. My dick is art rock. I don't think the fan debate you can even make anything. Some people. I would be curious to all the listeners. If you've stuck around this long, you stuck around past the first hour and a half of us talk about relationship.

[Brittany Furlan]

What's his name? Rick in Illinois or whatever.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We have more than. We have more than one.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm dead. I'm crying.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We have more than one. Okay, but they say, is it better? I'm curious. I'm curious if you like this record more than okay, Computer. I. Okay, Computer means more to me. I do think it's a better record. I think it's better songwriting. I love any band that keeps reaching. And I think. Kid A, I'm so excited to break that record down. Don't worry, it won't Be with Britney.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, that sound like an breakdown. Just break down my self on this podcast.

[Josh Adam Myers]

What a great.

[Brittany Furlan]

Have a mental breakdown. No, it was great. This is so great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I, I, Dude, I don't get this.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's great. We've known each other so long. It's great. Of course it's great. You know, I just feel like it's so personal. I hope people get it because it's like we're talking about personal stuff. Like, you know, I think they're to like, to us, it's like, yeah, it's us, it's our life, you know, but,

[Josh Adam Myers]

and, and you know, and, and also this has been voted like in the nme. That Street Spirit was considered and voted as one of the most depressing songs ever recorded. I think it's beautiful.

[Brittany Furlan]

Hell yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think I'm a street spirit. I mean, you know, can we didn't talk about. I wanted to ask you about you getting together with Tommy. I'm just so happy that you found him, man. I, I love you and I'm, I mean it. Like, I, when I saw you put up that first post, I was like, because, you know, it's the same thing. When I found out I hadn't talked to Tess in a while. And then I was like, where have you been? Because I sent her all these messages, but she had changed her number. And I remember she said, well, you

[Brittany Furlan]

know, I know you really loved her.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I just, she, she's so sweet. She's the dude she was. Regardless if, if she was doing what she was doing. She was one of the sweetest human beings I've ever met. And she was so selfless. And she would, when we were taking off, she paid for all the band's flights, never wanted money back. She would be the first person to pick up a check. And I remember the night that I got it, we were just like cooking up and like some girls guy was, was about to throw up at, or threw up at Canners and she ran out of the table and just went up to help her. She didn't know this person like she is. And so when I finally got in

[Brittany Furlan]

touch with her, really sweet.

[Josh Adam Myers]

When I got in touch with her, she, I was like, you know what, you know, where are you? She's like, I'm about to move to Michigan, you know, with my boyfriend. And I was like, good. Oh, I love that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Maybe you guys will rekindle at some point.

[Josh Adam Myers]

If they do. Great.

[Brittany Furlan]

She's in Michigan with a boyfriend right now.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I think so.

[Brittany Furlan]

And she's, she stash she's not online or anything. She's offline.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She barely was online anymore. She's doing. She. She didn't deactivate her only fans, but she's not posting. But there are Indian guys that love titties that are still paying the $12.99 a month.

[Brittany Furlan]

See it, dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I still get messages like, what is Tessa? Swear to God. Oh, yeah, because they knew we dated. That being said. That being said, it's. It's like, dude, you. I root for the people I love. I'm so happy you're. You're doing great. I'm so happy that you guys found each other. And please come back. We'll have you back on again for Mark's sake. We'll end it after we do final questions. Promote away. What do you have coming up?

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, God. I mean, I'm just doing stand up again. I'm so happy to be back on the scene. I'm, you know, I'm just performing locally and, you know, like, people are always like, oh, you're going to tour, whatever. I mean, I go on tour with Motley and I just. It's such a fucking insane thing to be on tour with them. And it's so fast and we're just in and out of everywhere that I don't really have time to, like, you know, do shows. And then, like, I'd have to do shows on the nights that we have shows, and I just. Too much. I need to be there with Tommy. So I just, you know, guys, I just do it for fun for me. And if you're in la, like, I perform in L. A, like, every week. So I just, you know, I'm happy to be back at that and get out of the house a little bit. And, you know, I sell my jewelry, I make jewelry. I have my only fans for fun because I love being a little fucking

[Josh Adam Myers]

exhibition to get your fucking money.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah, the animal shelters. I'm, like, really obsessed with dogs. And everyone that knows me, there's a big donation thing on my only fans page where you can see all the good that we've done with it. And we've done a lot of good. I saved a bat, a little baby.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I used to. I used to remember people when he started really taking off, and people were like, that's all her boobs and she's fake.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone says that still. I'm like, dude, everyone says my body's fake. I'm like, my face. I've definitely done stuff too, but not my body.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Not below my neck.

[Brittany Furlan]

But, yeah, people are Haters. Anyway.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Look at that word.

[Brittany Furlan]

It's all good.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Lea isn't the best.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, she looks great. Anyway, no one cares. I don't need to be seen anywhere anyone. No one needs to follow me. I don't really give a. So, dude, I've been on the Internet for too long. I should probably log off.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I mean it. You're. You're one of the most talented people I know.

[Brittany Furlan]

Thanks.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I think you do anything you apply yourself to and. And you know, I'm excited to see with the next when.

[Brittany Furlan]

I mean, hopefully I want. My goal in life is to just be in like a Ryan Murphy show at one point, even if it's just the smallest role. I'm just such a big fan of his work. You know, Ryan Murphy is creator of American Horror Story and all the amazing other things he's done. Like, you know, he just did the show the Beauty on fx and he's just so talent. He's just so. He's such a visionary and he's someone that like, that would be like a goal. Like, I'm like, that's my one goal. That's my last goal.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You loved American Horror Story and we were watching that together and then we broke up. I was like, that show America, I've never watched another episode. It was our thing. We watched that.

[Brittany Furlan]

I loved America.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Definitely towels too.

[Brittany Furlan]

I don't like Harry Potter.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We did go. We remember that. We went. That was when we were trying to save the relationship. We went to see Harry Potter together. We're like.

[Brittany Furlan]

We never saw anyone even really liked it.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We loved it. We loved it. We loved it. Do you remember the hardest laugh when we went to go see the other guys?

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, yeah, that was.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I don't think I've ever laughed harder with you. That was so great.

[Brittany Furlan]

That was fun. You have such a good memory.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We have so. Dude, I have so many great memories and. And I'm so glad that we continue to be on this.

[Brittany Furlan]

Of course.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Let's do the final questions. We'll get you out of here. We ask everybody that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

These questions that we're about to ask. 1. What is your favorite song on this album?

[Brittany Furlan]

My favorite song on this album. God, that's so hard.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Gotta pick one.

[Brittany Furlan]

Maybe I'd say Fake plastic trees.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's beautiful.

[Brittany Furlan]

Cuz it's just like such a melodic, like sad song and I relate to it so much and it just like. That's the one I used to really.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Cut. Cut to. All right, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Definitely Planet Telex. It's the one I keep going back to. But I love Fake Blacks and Trees. I love Street Spirit. I think this is a perfect record. I think I just love. I just. I love this record. It takes me right back to when I first heard it. Is this a no Skip? Or is there a song that you're just not a true track to do. And it could be something that's popular.

[Brittany Furlan]

I do skip.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I skip high and dry. Because you do. I've heard it so much.

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, yeah. It's kind of worn out sometimes.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It doesn't mean it's the worst song of the record.

[Brittany Furlan]

Actually, you know what? No, because I can just put Radiohead, I think even with like, pretty much any of their albums, I can just put it on and just play it and I don't need to skip. I, like, love it. The vibe. I feel like it takes you on a journey. Yeah, don't skip. I don't skip. I mean, like, there's so many other bands, right? I'm like, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip. But for them, I'm like, no, this is I with the vibe. I, I with the journey they take you on. You know what I mean? Like, it's such a journey. It's a. It's a melodic journey from start to finish.

[Josh Adam Myers]

100.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Can you. To this record?

[Brittany Furlan]

Oh, my God. I'll try. I'll tell Tommy. Dude, we don't play music.

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, we literally go Jeffrey Dahmer style.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, he just.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I want to hear you breathing.

[Brittany Furlan]

No, we just. It's usually like we're in bed in the middle of the night and he'll just roll over like, babe, I got a bone. I'm like, all right, let's go. I never, I've never told. Turn him down. Never will. He's the best. He's got a beautiful dick. He does.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I've seen it.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone's seen it. I'm not breaking the Internet by saying this, but, like, he has like. I mean, guys, like, for like, guys usually have sometimes crazy looking dicks, but he's got like a, like a model dick. Like.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah, like Tess's version.

[Brittany Furlan]

Everyone knows they've already seen it. Yeah, yeah. Like, Tess has got, like, crazy knockers. Tommy has like, that's just crazy big titties.

[Josh Adam Myers]

But then they take the bra off and they.

[Brittany Furlan]

And they fall. Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

They turn into those fish bags you used to got at the fair. Hair. She has perfect tits.

[Brittany Furlan]

Huge.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I'll say this about Tommy. Tommy has a perfect dick that could

[Brittany Furlan]

wear Like a tuxedo. Like, it's so, like, nice, you know, what a great.

[Josh Adam Myers]

You know, have the world know that.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. And he loves it, too.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Oh, I know. I remember he tried to promote the tour and he stuck his dick out of his pants. I can't believe you don't. The music, really.

[Brittany Furlan]

Because it's like we'll be both. It's like usually like in the middle of the night, like, we're both like asleep or sleeping. And he'll like, like, be like, both roll over and like, kind of like, you know, been together for 10 years. It's not like we like, put on music and light candles.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's also. He's also. How old is he?

[Brittany Furlan]

63. Yeah, but he's still killing it. He's like, no, I know. His vibe is so young and like, in person, if you see him, like, people don't ever believe I was. I never.

[Josh Adam Myers]

He's never. It's because I always say, like, man, I'm so worried. Like, even my clothes, I'm like, am I. Am I Too old? Is 46 too old to wear? And. And. And it's not. Age is nothing but a number.

[Brittany Furlan]

And he's mad fit. Oh, he looks like Tommy is fudgeing. Cut and lean and like his lean muscle and he's just like a thin fit guy. Like, he doesn't have any kind of belly or fudgeing. Gross. Anything. He's fudgeing skinny.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Always look good.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm not going to say the joke I was going to do there. I'll tell you off stage.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

It's not about him, but I had a funny. Okay, never mind. I'll tell you on stage. It's really. It's funny. I think it's funny. I'll tell you the preface of what I hear in my head. What would say you be your elevator pitch? Like, final thoughts of this record to get someone that's never listened to the radio. The radio. Radio had the bends. How would you get somebody that's never listened to it to be able to

[Brittany Furlan]

listen to it, that they've never listened to it?

[Josh Adam Myers]

Yeah. I'm saying, what's your elevator pitch? Doesn't have to be long winded.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay. I would say, hey, do you have depression? Do you like to sit there in your depression and wallow in your depression and have music that comforts you when you. You're depressed? You should play Radiohead the best and sit there in a dark place and it'll be really enjoyable. I don't know. I mean, like, Literally, it's like when you want, but you say it doesn't make you depressed. For me, it like when I really want to, like, be sad and be in my sadness. I listen to Radiohead because I just feel like. It's like. It's almost like a happy sadness. It's like a comfortable sadness.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Sad. Listening to radio.

[Brittany Furlan]

I'm like emotional. So like the cry a lot.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I cry. Dude. There's that girl, Ray. I like, love her music. Amy Winehouse makes me cry. Cry.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Nat King Cole, Stardust. We talked about all this. Vincent by Don McLean, Claire Deon, the. By Claude de Bus. One of my favorite songs. All the songs you. One thing I like, I love. And Now, Ray, I can't listen to a record without crying. And you should check it. I think you dig it. Okay, My final thoughts for everybody is the. This is the Bens. It's an album about anxiety, identity, and realizing that success doesn't mean fix anything.

[Brittany Furlan]

Wow. That could be my. My autobiography title.

[Josh Adam Myers]

I'm not done yet. It gets better. It's. It just gives your problems better lighting. It's Radiohead figuring out who they are. They're one of the most respected bands in the industry. If you want to want to know why and how it started. Pablo Ani is not the way to start. This is where you start because it's beautiful, but also in a very British way. But honestly, and I wrote this too, having you hear it feels almost appropriate because like this album, our relationship had emotional highs, confusing lows, moments of brilliance, and at least one part where nobody knew what the hell was going on. Me on drugs. But that's what makes art great. And I think that's what makes relationships great.

[Brittany Furlan]

On the head, dude.

[Josh Adam Myers]

She loves me in bed.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yeah. That's crazy. What a two and a half hour.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Can I finish my fucking. This is what I. This is what the fans wait for.

[Brittany Furlan]

Three hours. Hours?

[Josh Adam Myers]

No, it's not three hours.

[Brittany Furlan]

Yes, it is. We started at eight.

[Josh Adam Myers]

We started. No, we didn't start eight. What time where we at? Two and a half.

[Brittany Furlan]

Okay.

[Josh Adam Myers]

Okay, that's. I'm. Trust me. I just. I listen and Mark, I'll. I'll throw you extra cash. George Lucas, I know you stay up to edit this, so I'm going to do the intro very quickly. But dude, this is. I don't get to see you that often.

[Brittany Furlan]

I know.

[Josh Adam Myers]

And I don't give a. If anybody's still listening, which I know they are. This is great.

[Brittany Furlan]
