3. Ghost Stories: The Voice and The Little Girl

Andy’s Childhood Experience

  • He reflexively responded that she was at the store, only to realize his grandfather had passed away. Feeling terrified, he ran to the neighbors.
  • Quote [14:30]: “I heard him say twice, ‘Mommy.’ And I went, ‘She’s at the store.’ And then realized he’s dead. And got up out of that house and ran to the neighbors...” – Andy Richter

The Family House Ghost—The Playful Girl

• Years later, Andy’s family sold their old house. The next owners, and then another friend, reported seeing the ghost of a playful little girl—described as a friendly presence.

  • Through family history, Andy surmises this may be the spirit of his grandfather’s daughter, Nancy, who died young due to a suspected milk allergy and lack of medical intervention.

4. The Chateau Marmont & Absence of Hauntings

• Andy tells a brief story about unknowingly staying in the bungalow where John Belushi died at the Chateau Marmont. No supernatural events, only the “glamour and glitz” of LA.
  • Quote [29:22]: “Nothing but glamour and glitz, you know.” – Andy Richter

5. Dreams, Premonitions & Synchronicity

• Discussion shifts to more subtle woo woo: Andy shares about having a dream where he felt he was outside a beach house unable to get in, which matched an actual infidelity occurring at that location by his then-girlfriend.
  • Quote [33:23]: “I had a dream that I was standing outside on the beach looking at this house ... and then later found out that she cheated on me that night in that beach house.” – Andy Richter
• They all discuss dreams, gut feelings, and “thinking of someone and they call you”—unexplained connections that everyone seems to experience.

[Rachel Dratch]

Hello everyone and welcome to Woowoo. If you're new here, if you happen to see There was just a big article about me. Okay, I'm gonna be honest. There was an article about me in the New York Times on Sunday. Talked a lot about the podcast Woowoo. So I just figured if you happen to be new here, I just wanted to welcome you to the show and let you know you don't have to listen in any particular order. You can bounce around, you can find a celeb you like and listen to them. You can find a topic you like, something that catches your fancy. If you wanna really start from the very be for our origin story, if you will, you could go to our first episode with Kevin Cahoon. That's where we kind of explain our whole take on Woo Woo. But like I said, feel free to hop around and enjoy this episode with my old pal Andy Richter. He's in this new movie out called Obsession. That's a horror movie that my son just saw. My teenage son said it's one of the best horror movies he's ever seen. He's. He was raving about it and he didn't even know Andy was a guest. So that's just a little coincidental. Plug for Andy's movie. Anyway, welcome to Woo Woo. Enjoy the show. Welcome to Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch, the podcast that explores the unexplained with humor and curiosity. Hello and welcome to Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch here with Irene Bremis. Hi, Irene.

[Irene Bremis]

Hello, Rachie.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, Rachi. Okay. Well, Irene, today we're joined by actor, comedian, writer, I'm gonna assume. Yeah, writer. And someone that I started out with in the Chicago comedy scene way back when. I happened to hear him say he had a ghost story on someone else's pod and roped him in to come on. So please welcome Andy Richter.

[Andy Richter]

Hi. Hello.

[Irene Bremis]

Hi.

[Andy Richter]

Hello.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yay, Andy.

[Andy Richter]

How are you guys doing?

[Rachel Dratch]

Good. Thank you for doing this.

[Andy Richter]

Happy to.

[Rachel Dratch]

Andy, you and I, you're one of the. I mean, I moved to Chicago when I was 23 and I remember you. I don't. I mean, I just met everyone in a blur back then at Improb Olympic. Yeah. So we were in the same circles from the time we were in our very early 20s, right?

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, yeah. A million years ago.

[Rachel Dratch]

A million years ago. And we hung out with all the same fun people, and that was such a fun time. I don't know if you would say the same.

[Andy Richter]

I honestly can't imagine, like, somebody having more fun at that age. It was crazy. It was crazy.

[Rachel Dratch]

It was the best.

[Andy Richter]

It was really. And I mean, I try to express to people, like, what it was like to live up to that point and just realized that I had never fit in anywhere. And then all of a sudden I was like. With all these people that were like, oh, my God, I've been, you know, I've been absolutely starved for, like, companionship. That's kind of similar to who I am, you know?

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah. And we would. I mean, we would do shows. You did stuff at Annoyance too, right? Did you or were you mainly. Yeah, and we would do shows together and improv shows and go watch each other's shows and all that. But then we would also hang out all the time. It was just like. It was our social life and our creative thing all rolled into one.

[Andy Richter]

And it was always like. Honestly, I feel like there was more funny. I mean, it was constant comedy, constant bits. Like, it was always, always bits and just. Yeah. Partying all the time and having fun and laughing, laughing, laughing all the time.

[Rachel Dratch]

So same. That's my memory of it, too. It was so fun. So it wasn't just in our heads. It really was that fun.

[Andy Richter]

It was pretty good.

[Rachel Dratch]

And I remember. And you play. I know you played so many things back then and did all the improv, but I remember you were in the original real life Brady Bunch.

[Andy Richter]

Well, I wasn't in the original one. Yeah. No, because, you know, at the Annoyance Theater, I mean, for people that don't know, it was basically recreations of Brady Bunch episodes on stage with adult comedic actors playing the parts and trying to do it as close to the original as possible. Not doing like a spoof or a send up. Just really trying as hard as we could to Match the smallest gestures and everything. And it was really talented people. So it was really, really funny. And instantly a big success. It was also sort of timely. Cause there was like this stun 70s nostalgia that was happening in the, you know, late 80s, early 90s. So it was a really big hit in Chicago. And everybody. It kind of rotated through. There were some, like. Jane lynch was always Carol Brady, I think. I mean, from later, you know, different people filled in for different things.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah. And who were you ever.

[Andy Richter]

I was just Mike Brady. I started out when I was in Chicago and then. And then when they went to New York, I went as Mike Brady.

[Rachel Dratch]

Now just jumping forward and then. I know you did sitcoms and everything, but then what about getting the Conan sidekick gig?

[Andy Richter]

That happened.

[Rachel Dratch]

How did that happen?

[Andy Richter]

Well, that happened. I had done the Brady Bunch in New York. Then it went to la, and I did it in la. And I actually got an agent through the Brady Bunch, which is crazy. Cause I mean, I was like, honey, I'm home. You know, that was my big part of the hilarious show. But I got an agent and I actually was in a couple of movies. I had moved back to la. After the Brady Bunch was finished in la, I went back to Chicago. It was kind of like the holidays anyway. And I was on my mom's couch wondering what I was gonna do with myself. And I got cast in the movie Cabin Boy, the Chris Elliott movie Cabin Boy, which I had already auditioned for. So I went back to LA and was in Cabin Boy and was going to make a go of it in la, but still was struggling. I mean, Cabin Boy came and went, and I was like, oh, I better get a job. And then Robert Smigel, whom I had met through when Betty Cahill, Beth Cahill, was on Saturday Night Live for a season, she introduced me to Robert Smigel, and we became friendly. And then he just out of the blue called me and said, hey, this guy Conan o', Brien, that's taken over for Letterman, which I had obvious I'd heard about the way everyone else had heard about it. He said, I'm going to be the head writer on the show, and we're looking for writers. You want to submit? And I said, sure. And I had never submitted written stuff before. So I kind of sat down and like, okay, yeah, clickety clack. Let's put some stuff together. And then I met Conan in la. You know, I had. I hadn't turned in stuff, but I met him and we had lunch and we really hit it off pretty instantly. And apparently, and I heard this. Robert told me this later that Conan got on the phone with him and said, hire that guy. And Robert was like, let's see what his packet is like first. And I guess the packet was good enough for Robert that they hired me. So I packed up my stuff and my ex wife, then fiance was living up in, in San Francisco, and I drove my Toyota pickup up, up there and left it with her and flew to New York and that was it. And then the sidekick thing just kind of evolved while we were putting the show together. He and I just had a rapport and. Yeah, and. And there was always. Everybody on the show was a performer of some kind. You know, almost every writer was a performer. So there was always. There was no question that we weren't gonna have the writers also be performers on the show. So it was just kind of a natural thing.

[Rachel Dratch]

And your podcast. Yes, three questions. Yes, three questions. You've been doing that for a while, right?

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, about. Well, gosh, I guess it's gone about seven years now. Cause I think I started in 2019.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. I forgot to say that you have a podcast.

[Andy Richter]

Oh, that's all right.

[Rachel Dratch]

I get that in there. Listen, Three questions with Andy Ricky.

[Andy Richter]

Listen. It just keeps chugging along, you know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

You know, and I. I was just ahead of the curve of everyone having to have a podcast. I just, you know, because everyone has to be.

[Irene Bremis]

They have to know. Yes, yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Well, I talk about Ruffles on here from time to time. That's my dog, Ruffles the rescue designer dog. She's a mutt, but she looks like a designer dog. Anyway, a couple weeks ago we had an animal communicator on here, and she told me all about Ruffles inner thoughts. Well, it's only fitting that we have a quick message from today's sponsor, the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. If you've ever found yourself awake at 2 in the morning, phone in hand, Googling things like, is this normal for my dog? Because you don't have animal communication skills and you can't read your dog's mind, well, you're not alone. Those moments of panic come with pet ownership. And they're exactly why ASPCA pet health insurance exists. It helps take the financial question out of the equation so when something feels off, you can focus on getting your pet the care they need instead of stressing over the cost. And when you enroll in an ASPCA pet health insurance plan, you could get a $25Amazon gift card. It's a little treat for you while you're doing something great for your pet. The program offers customizable accident and illness plans, making it easier to get your pet the care they may need. And it's been around for almost 20 years and has covered nearly 1 million pets in that time. To explore coverage, visit aspcapetinsurance.com woo. That's aspcapetinsurance.come woo.

[Rachel Dratch]

All right, well, Andy.

[Andy Richter]

Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Let's get to the meat of the matter here. All right, now, I don't know how woo woo you are as a person.

[Andy Richter]

I'm not very honestly.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, but you did see a ghost or something? No. So tell us, tell us your ghost story, Andy.

[Andy Richter]

I didn't see a ghost and I have because I also do on as part of my same Sirius XM contract I also do on Wednesdays I do a radio show, a live radio show. It's just, it's called the Andy Richter call in show. And it's on 1 o' clock Pacific, 4 o' clock Eastern. And it's on the Conan channel. And we just, it's just silly. Like we have topics like next week best selling is coming on and we're doing sports. So it's just people call in. I wanted it to be like, like at a cocktail party when people are talking about their injuries or about like hospital stories, you know, like I just would throw, throw out a topic and then it's like, you know, like, you know, because these sort of like the real ultimate is like pooping your pants. Like that's like everybody's got a pooping their pants story and you know, and just, and we've only done pooping your pants once. And it is because it is, it's a, it's, it's an acquired taste. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yes. Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

So we've done ghost stories and they are really fun because like I have gotten legitimate chills from some of Them that people tell. And I have never really. The only time I've. I've never seen anything. And the only time I ever experienced it was this one time. And it was within a few months after my grandfather died. And I was 9 or 10. He died in 1975. And I. Yeah, so I was 9 when he died. And I don't know, but it was within months because my grandma was still in their house. And we ended up taking over that house. And my grandma moved into a duplex down the street because she didn't need this big old house anymore. And, you know, we had four kids. And so we moved into the. The family house, which was actually built by my great grandfather. Oh. And that's reminding me there is an additional ghost story I heard.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yes, I heard the identity.

[Andy Richter]

I'll tell you that one. So the one that I experienced was. I was at my grandma's house, and it was kind of that thing of like, go stay with your grandma to keep her company. Because I guess she was real sad that her husband died. You know, that weird thing. Crazy.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

So she had gone to the grocery store. It was in the daytime. I was watching TV in the living room. And my grandpa. Cause he was old, you know, and he was like 17, 18 years older than my grandmother. He had moved from, you know, upstairs to downstairs. So his bedroom was the guest bedroom. Cause he couldn't do the stairs anymore. And I heard from the direction of his bedroom, and this is what he used to call. It was his voice, and it's what he would call my grandmother. I heard mommy, Mommy, because he called her mommy, which people are weirded out by. But at the time, it seemed normal. I heard him say twice, mommy. And I went, she's at the store. And then realized he's dead. And got up out of that house and ran to the neighbors and just, you know, like, can I come in, please? And just sat there and waited for my grandmother to come home. And I told her about it. And.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

You know, and I don't. I don't remember. I think she was kind of like, oh, honey, that's sweet that he was here. You know, But I don't know if she believed me really or not, you know?

[Rachel Dratch]

Right, right.

[Andy Richter]

Because I'm sure I had the TV blaring, and it could have. You know, it could easily have been in my mind. I don't know. But I definitely. I. At the time, I really did. I mean, I heard it clear enough that I just sort of, without thinking, said, she's at the store.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

And you ran out in terror also.

[Andy Richter]

I did.

[Irene Bremis]

You really believed it was him?

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, but I mean, which is crazy in a way, because it's my grandpa. You know, I would like to think that, like, if I had been a little bit older, I would have gone and seen it, you know, or gone and talked to him or something, you know, I don't know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Would you believe there's a version of you that sleeps through the night, thinks clearly, and actually feels like yourself again? You haven't lost her.

[Andy Richter]

But then the other one was that that house, like I said, it was built by my great grandfather, by my grandpa's dad. And my grandpa lived in that house his entire life. And when my parents got divorced, my mom and my stepdad got divorced, it kind of everybody sort of left my little hometown. You know, everybody kind of life was, had moved to different towns. And so we ended up selling the house and we sold it to this family that had it for about like about 30, 40 years. You know, they, they owned it for a long time and then just recently, within the last couple of years, it went on the market. And my brother's still in Chicago. And my older brother, and he keeps in touch with people from high school very closely. He's very much in touch with a lot of people there, and. Cause they're all local. Anyway, so a guy that he went to high school with bought the house from the people that had bought it from us. And he talked to my brother one day and he said, hey, did you know that that house was haunted? And my brother said, no. And he said, yeah. He said, they told us. Of course, after we bought the house, they said, yeah, there's a little girl that lives in the house and that we see her. We've seen her a few times over the years, and that she's. It's a very playful, friendly presence. Like, it's not scary. It just seems like all of a sudden there's a happy little girl in the room. And this guy said to my brother, and since I've been in the house, which was. Had been like four or five months, he said, I've seen her twice. And my brother and I, talking about it, thought, well, who. Because there was no little girl in that house that we could think of, aside from my sister. And my sister's not a ghost. So, you know, and then we figured out, because my grandfather, like I told you, he was about 17, 18 years older than my grandmother. She was his second wife. His first wife ended up being institutionalized. She was mentally ill. And she was a devout Christian scientist, which at the time meant they eschewed medical care. So they had three infants that died. And the family sort of like. My mother told me that they think it might have been like a milk allergy or something. But two of them were boys and they died in infancy. But one was a little girl who lived till about 4, 3. 4 years old. And her name was Nancy. And then she got sick and died. And, you know, because the mother wouldn't let there be any medical care. So we think that could be Nancy, you know, which, you know, then the next question is, why? Well, why didn't Nancy show herself to us? And it's kind of like, well, maybe she didn't trust me. Family. She had a. She had a bad experience with family. And so she's like, ah, I'm going to wait till some strangers get in here. So. But yeah, that's.

[Rachel Dratch]

But wait, Nancy was the daughter of your grandfather's first wife?

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, my grandpa Glenn and his first wife.

[Rachel Dratch]

Gotcha. And that was her daughter?

[Andy Richter]

Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. Oh, my gosh.

[Andy Richter]

And then. And then they got to. She ended up in an. I don't. You know, probably after the death of three children, but she ended up in an institution, and he got a divorce from her. And then he met my grandmother a few years later.

[Rachel Dratch]

And did the guy who lived there. Did he give any sort of description of her, what she looked like or anything?

[Andy Richter]

Not that. No, not that I. Not that I asked. He said it was a little girl. A presence of a little girl who wanted to play.

[Irene Bremis]

Wow. Oh, yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Sweet.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow. Haunted. Haunted little girl storm.

[Andy Richter]

And see. I would. You know, I honestly would really love to experience something like that. I really would. I would like to. You know, I would like to believe that there's. Because it is. It just. Basically, for me, it would be like there's something there. Like magic exists.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

You know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Exactly. And that's kind of why we do this.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. And I. But I have never felt it. I've never experienced it. You know, there's that thing. Well, yeah, maybe you're closed off to it, which really seems like blaming the victim. But. But, yeah, I mean, I would. I would love to. Like, I. We had. We had friends in New York that had a. Like, this big, beautiful house upstate. And the husband's daughter said he used to frequently feel someone come in and sit on her bed. Like, she'd be in her bed, laying in bed, and then, you know, the feeling of someone coming and sitting on the edge of your bed. And she said it would, you know, happen frequently. And she'd look, and there'd be no one there, and it wasn't like there was an indentation, but she definitely felt like someone was just, you know, like a comforting presence coming and just coming in for a visit, you know, I mean.

[Irene Bremis]

But you did have an experience, Andy, technically, by hearing the voice of a ghost. Right. So that matters, because they come in hallucinations, auditory, visual. So that matters. I haven't had. I have never seen a specter of any kind, so I feel your pain. Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

But I do. Like, that's. The story that I heard you tell is the ghostly girl.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

We haven't had a ghost story in a while, so we're happy to hear we haven't had one.

[Irene Bremis]

And you have corroborations with this young little girl? I just. There's more of a dis. You know, like, corroborations matter.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, because. Because you're your brother's friend. Yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

It sounds like he didn't mind Nancy because she was friendly and just wanted to play.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. I guess. You know, Although the previous owners felt nervous enough to not disclose it.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, right.

[Andy Richter]

You know, you'd think that that would be the sort of thing that there'd be, like, a law that you have to disclose.

[Rachel Dratch]

I know. We talked about that actually, in.

[Andy Richter]

So is there.

[Rachel Dratch]

There was. There was for a while in New York State. I think it might have gone away, though.

[Andy Richter]

Well, there was. I know there's one. I know. Murders. Yeah. Like, if somebody got Murders.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

Or maybe even deaths. I think maybe you might have to disclose deaths. Like, if somebody dies in the house, they got to tell you. Oh, yeah. And by the way, you know, somebody died.

[Rachel Dratch]

Definitely. Definitely murders, which.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

I don't know. This borders a little bit of both, let's be honest, because.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah. So. Right.

[Andy Richter]

I don't know. I don't know if a murder, depending on the house. I don't know if that would stop me from buying a house.

[Rachel Dratch]

Really. It would stop me.

[Andy Richter]

Would it?

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah, I would.

[Irene Bremis]

Negativity.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

I would be too freaked by the energy. Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. But, you know, you get over it. Well, I just think, like. Yeah, but we're on stolen land. You know what I mean? Like, the house is built on stolen land.

[Irene Bremis]

Good point.

[Andy Richter]

So it's like, where.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

At what point are you going to set the borders of, like, oh, something bad happened here. Like. Yeah, the American West.

[Irene Bremis]

Very good point.

[Andy Richter]

Something bad happened here, you know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Right, right. But if you did know, like, it happened right in this bedroom.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

I would be freaked.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

Oh, there was at the sh. You know, the Chateau Marmont. Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's supposed to be haunted, right.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. Well, the first time. This was because the Conan show would get nominated for writing for Emmys almost every year, so we would. Like, going to the Emmys was a normal sort of thing. And I started to stay. All right. It was actually the first time we stayed at the Chateau Marmont, because I had just heard about it, and it seemed like a cool place. And when we showed up, and it is a really. I loved staying there. It's one of the things I don't like about living in Los Angeles is that I can't stay there anymore.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

But when. The first time we got there, the guy behind the desk said, I got a special room for you. I'm gonna put you up in Bungalow 3. And I was like, oh, okay. And he kind of was like, all significant, like, mm. Gonna say, put you in Bungalow 3. And then. I don't even think the Internet was a thing. At that point, because I was like, I have a feeling. He gave me the Belushi death bungalow. And then later I researched, he gave us the Belushi death bungalow. So my first time staying in the Chateau Marmont, it was sleeping in the same room where John Belushi had died.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow.

[Irene Bremis]

Did you experience anything at all?

[Andy Richter]

Nothing.

[Irene Bremis]

Not all.

[Andy Richter]

Nothing but glamour and glitz, you know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Was he trying to do it like. Cause he knew you were a comedian?

[Andy Richter]

I think so. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

Wow.

Yep.

I have had things like I have had things like a girlfriend who was out of town that years and years and years ago had a girlfriend that was out of town and staying with a group of people on the beach. And I had a dream that I was standing outside on the beach looking at this house and I didn't even know where this house was but I, you know, and I was standing on the house and feeling like I want to go in there but I can't go in there but something wrong is going on There, and then later found out that she cheated on me that night in that beach house. And, you know, and there was no reason for me to have that dream. And I've had similar things like that, you know, where, you know, dreaming about something and then something just happened recently, and I can't. I can't think of what it was, but it's like kind of, you know, like, oh, I dreamed about. I don't know, you know. You know, I dreamed about Mongolian barbecue. And then, like, the next day, somebody's like, hey, let's have Mongolian barbecue. It was something. Something kind of mundane, but it just happened recently where I was like, my gosh, I just thought, you know, I just thought about that. So, yeah, I've had. I've had dreams that seem to kind of be connected into, you know, in the same way. But, I mean, it's the same way when, you know, people used to listen to the radio. It seemed to always be a common thing where somebody would say, I'm thinking about. I was thinking about this song. And then I turn on the radio and it was playing, you know, that sort of thing.

[Irene Bremis]

Or you think of somebody and they call you.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

I would wonder if the house you dreamed of looked like the real house. But. Well, I guess we'll never know.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, no, we'll never know. That's. That water is.

[Rachel Dratch]

Or if you. Or if you traveled through time.

[Andy Richter]

That water is far under the bridge.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yes, of course. We don't even care to know anymore.

[Andy Richter]

No. No.

[Rachel Dratch]

All right. Well, Irene, do you have any other questions? Irene, I know we have a pendulum reading.

[Irene Bremis]

We do have a pendulum reading. I will say this, though. I just want to share that I also had a dream that an ex boyfriend was cheating on me. And he was.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

So I see.

[Andy Richter]

In the dream, I wasn't. I didn't think, like, oh, she's in there cheating on me. I felt like I, you know, like, I want to go in there and I can't get in there, and, like, something's going on that concerns me, you know, that, like, worries me. And how did you find out?

[Irene Bremis]

Like, what happened? Like, how did this unfold? Like, after the dream?

[Andy Richter]

Like, I read her diary.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, now we're getting somewhere now. I love your honesty. I love your. Love your honesty.

[Andy Richter]

I read her diary.

[Rachel Dratch]

You heard it here?

[Andy Richter]

Yep. Yep. And then it became. I was like, hey, you cheated on me. And she's like, well, you read my diary. And I'm like, yeah, but you cheated on me. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Right.

[Irene Bremis]

Right.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, man.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. In Some ways it became more about me than her, which was one of the major problems.

[Rachel Dratch]

Right, Right. Well, Andy, should we ask what Andy's sign is? Or do you want to guess it? Irene.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, geez, I don't know.

[Rachel Dratch]

I'm trying to remember if I know when your birthday is. I feel like I should. Oh, I. I have a guess of when your birthday is, but I might be wrong from. From days gone by. Yeah, I might be really wrong.

[Andy Richter]

Uh huh.

[Rachel Dratch]

Do you want to guess the sign? Iri?

[Irene Bremis]

If I had to guess, I would say possibly Virgo. Okay, that looks like a.

[Rachel Dratch]

No, I'm gonna guess. Taurus.

[Irene Bremis]

Scorpio.

[Rachel Dratch]

I'm wrong. I never even get it. Scorpio. Oh wait, this is weird. This is weird. I was gonna say now this isn't about psychic. This is about me trying to remember when your birthday is from way, way back. And I was gonna say I think it's May or October. But is it October?

[Andy Richter]

It's October. Okay, October 28th.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah, but that's not psychic. That's me because I sometimes remember birthdays.

[Andy Richter]

But yeah, no, I'm the same way.

[Rachel Dratch]

Anyway. Okay, well that was a bust of our guessing. Sometimes Irene is good at guessing the

[Irene Bremis]

and sometimes, as you've seen, sometimes I fail, sometimes not.

A yes or no question.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah, I did. I did.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. We say don't ask anything that's gonna make you sad if you don't like the answer. So are you thinking, oh, well, then what's the point? I mean. Well, you can. You can if you like. If you can shun the answer if it doesn't turn out how you like. We don't like to dash dreams, so.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah. Okay.

[Irene Bremis]

Okay. Let us know when you think.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. Yeah, let us know when you're thinking of it.

[Andy Richter]

Well, I have two, but I guess

[Rachel Dratch]

I could do a twofer. Think of the first.

[Irene Bremis]

I'll ask one, but don't ask out loud.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's the thing. Oh, yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

Think.

[Rachel Dratch]

Think it and then you're gonna.

[Andy Richter]

All right, I'll think of the first one.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, here we go. Ready?

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, it already went a resounding.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, I got a yes sounding yes. I got a yes, too. Okay, what was that question?

[Andy Richter]

It was, am I going to live in California for the rest of my life?

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, do you. Do you want that?

[Andy Richter]

No, but I mean. I mean, I'd be fine with it, but I just, I wonder sometimes what circumstance will, you know, bring me as I, you know, as I get older.

[Rachel Dratch]

Right. Right.

[Andy Richter]

And that. Because, you know, my. My wife, she's from Southern California, but she lived in. She lived in London for 10 years and ended up getting dual citizenship because she's open. She started a business there, owns property there. And both she and my daughter have dual citizenship. And we have thought sometimes, you know, as it seemed like shit was hitting the fan.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Andy Richter]

You know, like, maybe we'll just go ahead and move to the UK because it would be easy to do.

[Rachel Dratch]

Amazing.

[Andy Richter]

And I, you know, we're married, so I would just be her, you know, her green card spouse. And. Well, so that's, you know, that. That's always been like, something in my mind, like, are we going to end up living somewhere else or even Hawaii? You know, think about, like, oh, yeah, let's go to Hawaii. You know, as I get older, sometimes.

[Rachel Dratch]

This isn't right. Irene doesn't like me to say that, but.

[Irene Bremis]

Well, it's true.

[Rachel Dratch]

You might still end up in the uk. You could end up in the uk, But. But you can ask your other question, too.

[Andy Richter]

Hold on, let me. Let me get it in my head.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, okay. I'm not getting it again. I gotta know.

[Irene Bremis]

You're not.

[Rachel Dratch]

Sorry. We don't like it when we get a different. Wait, hold on. I got a No.

[Irene Bremis]

I got a yes on this one, too. What was your question?

[Rachel Dratch]

We're giving you no information.

[Andy Richter]

Is the Los Angeles entertainment industry going to rebound soon?

[Rachel Dratch]

Let's go with Irene.

[Irene Bremis]

I said yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Let's go with Irene's answer.

[Irene Bremis]

Irene, just right on that.

[Rachel Dratch]

Irene has more expertise. She's picked an entire football season with this thing. So mine is stuck in another dimension. Okay, Andy, let me.

[Andy Richter]

You're on the East Coast.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's it. That's it. The drains circle differently. Wait, I know what I had a question about. Oh, you have a movie. Upcoming movie, and it has this kind of a woo, woo. Like, spooky thing to it. Or is it called Obsession?

[Andy Richter]

No, it's. It's a movie called Obsession. And it's this director, the writer director, his name is Curry Barger. And he's very young. I mean, he's got to be, I think early 20s. And I just got. I got an offer. They said, hey, there's this horror movie. It's this indie horror movie. And they want to see if you'll do this part. It's a. It's a small part. I'm not, you know, I don't. I'm not a big. Because it's. It's all young people, and I'm Like, I may be the only old person in the movie, but my agent said, like, yeah, he's very, you know, he's up and comer. And he did this movie that he did to YouTube for like, $12. That's getting a lot of interest, which I went and looked at it. It's called. And it's on YouTube. It's called Milk and Cereal, but the cereal is spelled S E R I A L. Okay. And it's a horror film that he shot with Friends. You know, it's like a featurette. It's about an hour long, and it's fantastic. And then I got the script, and I read the script, and it is bananas. It is one of the craziest, wildest, like, terrifying, violent, gory scripts I've ever seen. And I was like, yes, absolutely. So I went and shot the movie, and it was a small production, and it was his first, you know, big feature, this. This guy Curry. But everybody was really great. Like, all the characters work out of a music store, and I'm the owner of the music store, so I'm just like the kid's boss, basically. But the story, and, I mean, you can kind of piece it together from. From the trailer is this young man wishes that this girl that is his sort of platonic friend and co worker that he has a big crush on that he can't verbalize. He. And he makes a kind of a magical gesture towards wishing that she loved him. And she does. And as most sort of wish stories, it turns terrible. You know, it's like. It's way more than he thought.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, that's funny.

[Irene Bremis]

You better watch what you wish, kind of. I just saw the trailer, but it reminded me of, like, Fatal Attraction meets Evil Dead meets Big.

[Andy Richter]

Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

That sounds.

[Andy Richter]

Well, it's like any of those, you know, any of those wish. You know, those old wish fables. It's, you know, the genie gives you three wishes, and it's usually like. Like, why do those wishes always have to teach you a lesson?

[Rachel Dratch]

Right.

[Andy Richter]

Can I just be rich? You know?

[Rachel Dratch]

Right, right.

[Andy Richter]

Can't you just give me a bunch of money and leave me alone, you know?

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, my God. And it's called Obsession, right?

[Andy Richter]

It's called Obsession. And it comes out, I think, May 28, something like that, coming right up

[Rachel Dratch]

later this month in theaters on streaming.

[Andy Richter]

It's in theaters, yeah. But it went to. I think it was at Sundance, and it was one of those things that started a bidding war. So it's. Yeah, so it's just exciting to be a part of that. And I've done a few other indie movies and it's just nice to have, you know, I've done indie movies and it's kind of like, well, let's see if anyone ever hears of this one, you know, so it's just nice to have it be getting some attention even as, you know, like I say, I have a very small part in it, but it's definitely worth seeing.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. All right, well, check out Andy now. Andy, where can people find you? You have your podcast three Questions with Andy Richter. Yes. And what's this chit chat session that we're doing where we talk about pooping our pants?

[Andy Richter]

Andy Richter, college Show on Sirius XM.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Andy Richter]

It's on Wednesdays, 1 o' clock Pacific, 4 o' clock Eastern.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Andy Richter]

It's almost always live, but you can also find it in. We have the replays of it in my podcast feed. So wherever you look up the three questions, you can also see the call in show. And let's see what else is going on. You can hear me on Subway commercials. I also have, and this is a ways out, but I co wrote a book about the making of Elf for Day street, which is an imprint of HarperCollins. They came to me with these. They said, hey, do you wanna write a book about the making of the movie Elf? And I said, sure. So I spent about a year and so interviewing all the major players, you know, Will Ferrell, Jon Favreau, a lot of the producers. And we're putting that together now. And that should be out in November.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, good. Everyone Loves Alice.

[Andy Richter]

And hopefully Christmas classic.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yes.

[Andy Richter]

And then I also, I recently appeared in three episodes of a well regarded television comedy that I don't think I can talk about. I have no idea why it seems silly to not be able to talk about it, but I don't think I.

[Rachel Dratch]

Right.

[Andy Richter]

So.

[Irene Bremis]

And, and let's not forget Andy, we'd be remiss not to mention that amazing. You know, when you were on Dancing with the Stars, sweetie, I was right there with you. You did amazing.

[Andy Richter]

Thank you.

[Irene Bremis]

Yes.

[Andy Richter]

Yeah. And I just, I just finished the tour. I did the. About six or seven weeks of tour with them and, and I just got done with that. So that was really fun. That was like a little sort of adventure, you know, I, I don't think I'll ever do it, you know, like, because it was very vaudeville. It was like doing patter in between dance acts, you know, like so hard.

[Irene Bremis]

I don't know how you did it, like getting like the choreography, how did you? I mean, I'm. I'm mesmerized. Hats off.

[Andy Richter]

You just do it. You just do it. I was. I am. I mean, I'm not. I'm not. Not graceful, but I'm certainly not graceful. And I'm not a dancer.
