I recently had a run-in with a very famous musician and my response surprised me let’s talk about them good mythical morning it’s another day and you’re here and we’re here this is a good thing this is like a triangle of awesomeness in terms of the way that the feeling that’s happening right now in fact if I could somehow grab holder the feeling that is happening between you and us right now I would take it and I would whip link with it and suddenly there would be well you know analogies fall apart all the time but they usually don’t fall apart so violently so is this something that you want to talk to me haha but it was like it was gonna make something good happen to you was it bad it wasn’t by a triangle then there’s gonna be a rainbow that came out of your head okay and then what that’s it yeah all right so something’s wrong with him I hope you’re doing well today I’m doing pretty good I’m coming I’m coming off on an interesting experience with a famous musician as I tease at the top of this episode um I was apart from my wife and my daughter they were doing other things so I was with the boys what time boy time oh that boy time in Miami I don’t call it that because it sounds stupid I was with Lincoln I was with Lando I said all right boys we’re having boy time yeah see ah where do you guys want to go to eat anywhere this is Los Angeles you get everything a choice of any choice of anything and they’re like Taco Bell and I’m like no anywhere but Taco Bell I’m not fond of talk about hmm then I habit burger there’s a place here if you’re not familiar with it called habit burger I mean it’s pretty straightforward it’s the burger place so I’m okay that’s fine they’ve got a light that comes down over the table Lincoln likes to use it to perfect his shadow puppetry that’s that’s the reason why we went to like to eat they’re 2i he likes the grilled cheese and they have a little gummy gummy bear burger but all that’s inconsequential we order we sit down we’re eating kind of in the back of the restaurant and I’m facing towards the front and I see a guy way up there ordering mr. Dave Grohl hmm famous drummer of Nirvana that’s a rock band I remember them and then he’s the famous lead singer of the Foo Fighters I’ve heard of them I mean I turned to Lincoln and I said Lincoln the man up there ordering is one of the most famous drummers living today he was the drummer of Nirvana he ever heard of them how did how did he respond to that he said I know never heard of him I was like well I failed you as a father but when he who said it was one of the most famous drummers of our time he didn’t even look he’s like huh well I’ve got a duck down here yeah he wasn’t he’s eating my gummy cheese I mean he might have kind of glanced um but you know I had just recently seen Dave Grohl’s documentary Sound City and I’m faced with the decision at this point what am I going to say to him because I know I’m going to say something I mean we’ve established this before you know when when we see famous people from a distance we have opposite reactions my reaction is what am I going to say to them and your reaction is I’m not gonna talk to him what am I not gonna say to him I’m just yeah I’m not going to say anything to them I don’t believe in approaching celebrities in public so I wasn’t as a general rule so I’m sitting there and I just start racking my brain what am I going to say to him I’ve got to take my kids wouldn’t because my wife is not here to watch him while I go you know talk to this famous well that’ll help that’ll help so I was like yeah maybe and so then my next thing was Lincoln do you want would you pose in a picture with Dave Grohl it’s like I’m totally gonna use this guy my son doesn’t care or you know about you but I don’t get a picture with you but I’m just trying to come up with something that’s of more of you know more of a rate entry point and entries within all that Joe entry have the conversation and then the more I thought the more questions came into mind of well well at what threshold is it appropriate to interrupt a celebrity public experience you know that he’s getting his burgers he didn’t come here to form an autograph line type of situation so what gives you the right to go up and talk to him I found myself thinking to these things and I think I’ve been influenced by you I mean ever since you talked me out of introducing myself to Darryl hall of Halle notes in the airport right as he was going into the restroom and you pulled me back I’ve second-guessed the whole thing I didn’t pull you back I just said I’m not gonna go talk to him I don’t do that and I was like but he’s right in that restroom he’s captive the one of the grease out of urinal one of the greatest voices of the 80s is ya at a urinal you gotta go side by side with Darryl hall so easy to talk to him that freaks a man out when you start talking don’t talk to me when I’m at a urinal I could sing to him you make my dreams come true oh that would leave nowhere yes ok this is this is what I think so I said well so i sat there just let me tell you the rest of Torrey right quick i sat there and a few seconds later Lincoln says to me I guess I was quiet for a while and maybe staring he’s like dad ok dad you know he said dad it’s rude to stare at people go get him Lincoln and I’m like I was like I wasn’t looking to him I was I was just you know I was just looking over your shoulder looking at the menu I was already eating and then um I realized that the whole side wall was a mirror and then I had him so for the rest of the whole time I was able to look over here and watch Dave girl in the mirror and how was that for you think it was great think about all the things I could say to her so then I started thinking well if I could just well I just saw his documentary maybe that’s justification come to talk to him he’ll know that I’m not just like a guy who oh I think you’re cool I want to take your picture help you with Instagram you know it’d have more of a justification yeah I think there is a point where you have to talk to a celebrity even you right okay well I’ll tell you two things the first thing is is I say you have to ask yourself the question what if everyone in this establishment thought like you did so that would mean that everybody in the whole place would get up and go line up talk to this guy you’re not on dance does but you’re not really that much of a fan no you know I’m saying so so I thought on any of it so so my general rule is that what would this if everyone behaved like this how would it be for this guy he wouldn’t he wouldn’t go he wouldn’t go out but in Los Angeles because there’s a lot of famous people in Los Angeles there’s a little bit of an unwritten rule that it’s like okay you see somebody famous on the level of Dave Grohl you don’t talk to him because he couldn’t have a life in this city if everyone did that right so there’s that sort of an unwritten rule I and I subscribe to that rule but having said that I will say that there are three celebrities that if I saw them in person I would muster up uh you know the gumption to go and talk to them Merle Haggard Lionel Richie and I would also go talk to the Avett Brothers if I saw them oh you would yeah and because I have no Wed and talk to them I have an entry point for each each I mean I feel like it’d be weird because they’re similar in age I would talk to the avett brothers and I would go up and I would say Ashleigh Lane is my sister-in-law that’s what I would say you keep bringing up no I would bring that because I have an entry point with Merle Haggard and Lana Richie I would come up and be like you are my hero like you and it would be embarrassing and I would be sweating and so that other entry point is kind of lame but yeah if you really if you are like oh I’m just I’m the biggest fan I’m your biggest fan if you find yourself thinking that then you have to go up and talk to him right but just to have an interaction with a famous person that you got to draw the line somewhere it sounds like you you so I’d you’ve ensured yeah I did not go up there and so I walked out the back door well actually when I got up I looked and he had left when I looked away so I went out the back defeated now if you find yourself in a closed compartment like an elevator with somebody I mean I feel like if you’re this close but he’s doing something he doesn’t want to be bothered this is you know that’s where the rule applies but I mean you get trapped on an elevator with somebody sure you can say hey man enjoy the documentary instead of big fan you know you write another entry point some you know a little more obscure probably not at a urinal yeah don’t talk to people at urinals as a general rule you know what time it is my name is Aaron this is my cat her name is Daisy from Connecticut’s it’s
