Hey, Portlandia fans.

00:00:46 - 00:00:48 | Speaker 1:

Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.

00:00:48 - 00:00:51 | Speaker 3:

The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.

00:00:51 - 00:01:03 | Speaker 1:

We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back the curtain on how it all got made.

00:01:03 - 00:01:15 | Speaker 3:

And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.

00:01:15 - 00:01:20 | Speaker 1:

Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song.

00:01:20 - 00:01:21 | Speaker 3:

Well, I thought you were all going to write a song.

00:01:22 - 00:01:31 | Speaker 1:

I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, The AAO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:01:55 - 00:02:04 | Speaker 4:

Must be 21+. All right, Mojo on the Morning Show.

00:02:04 - 00:02:06 | Speaker 6:

So, Shannon, you got invited to a wedding.

00:02:06 - 00:02:07 | Speaker 2:

Oh, my gosh.

00:02:07 - 00:02:25 | Speaker 6:

And this is actually the topic that we're going to get into right now. What's the strangest invite that you've ever gotten? Like something out of the blue. Like somebody invited you to a wedding or to a baby shower or whatever it might be. And you were like, me? You're like, why are they inviting me?

00:02:25 - 00:03:30 | Speaker 2:

And I have to tell you, I have to preface this story with, I'm very, very flattered, but also very, very confused. So Wes called me the other day and he said, we just got invited to a wedding. And I said, whose wedding did we get invited to? And when he told me who it was, I was just perplexed because it was my longtime Uber driver, who Wes now uses as well. And I won't say his name, just out of respect for him, because I don't know if he wants me sharing this story or if people know that he's getting married. But he called Wes to to ask him because he just wanted to be respectful and not call me and share the news with Wes or whatever part of his culture, which is fine. But Wes was like, oh, my gosh, you know, we're we're so flattered that you thought of us. We didn't even know that you were in a relationship, let alone getting married. And so Wes said, okay, you know, when is the wedding? Because we can put it on our calendar and see if we can make it. Well, the wedding is this week, this weekend. Here's the kicker. It's in Pakistan.

00:03:31 - 00:03:31 | Speaker 6:

Really?

00:03:32 - 00:03:33 | Speaker 2:

It's in Pakistan, where he's from.

00:03:33 - 00:03:36 | Speaker 6:

And the guy, how are you supposed to make travel arrangements to go to Pakistan?

00:03:36 - 00:04:19 | Speaker 2:

He said, he goes, I've got your tickets covered. So I don't know if that meant that he was going to buy his tickets, got lost them to Pakistan, which I'm not going to Pakistan. Or if he was going to send us a link I don't know how that was going to work But he wanted us to attend his wedding in Pakistan Now mind you, this is the guy And I've talked about him before I met him He drove me home after our Halloween party At the Royal Oak Music Theater What? A couple years ago Four years ago, you know, whatever Five years ago And I loved him so much That anytime I've needed a ride to the airport Or wherever since then, I just call him So I've known him for a while But I see him maybe twice a year

00:04:19 - 00:04:21 | Speaker 6:

You should do it just for the trip to Pakistan

00:04:21 - 00:04:22 | Speaker 2:

I can't go to Pakistan

00:04:22 - 00:04:32 | Speaker 6:

The only problem though is It's not like it would be a wedding in say I don't know Florida or Nashville because I don't know if you can go to Pakistan for a weekend

00:04:32 - 00:04:36 | Speaker 4:

Pakistan seems like a place you can go You need a good two weeks

00:04:36 - 00:04:44 | Speaker 2:

But I'm like I just didn't I was again flattered to get the invite But kind of random

00:04:44 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 6:

I think that it would be great just for show purposes to be able to say, Shannon's going to the Uber driver's wedding in Pakistan. I mean, that's just right there. That right there sums up, you know, the relationship that we'll have with random people.

00:04:59 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 2:

And I love that Wes was like, oh.

00:05:00 - 00:05:05 | Speaker 1:

You know, when is it? Thinking it was going to be in the fall or whatever. So we can put it on our calendar and make sure we can be there. It's next week.

00:05:05 - 00:05:10 | Speaker 3:

What kind of money is an Uber driver making that he can afford to actually fly guests to his wedding in Pakistan?

00:05:10 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 1:

I mean, he is a wonderful Uber driver.

00:05:12 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 3:

Maybe he's got his own business. Maybe this is a driving business. The Uber thing is just something that he does for a hobby. Maybe it's not that fun. I got invited to a wedding of one of the people that works here at the radio station. And we got a lot of people. Like, we have departments. So we have us on the air, so that's called the programming department. Then you have the sales people that we talk about all the time, the people that sell the ads and stuff. Then we have the traffic department, okay? So there's traffic department here. Then we have our engineering department and then promotions department, okay? So those are the departments that are here. This is a person way back when that worked in the engineering department, that he was getting married, and I'm not kidding you when I say this to you. The only engineers I deal with on a regular basis or have over the years, Randy and Mark, those are the two guys. At least the last 10 years. This was one of the guys that was like not one of the main player guys that I would see all the time. And I got an invite for her, and I saw the name. And Chelsea goes, who is that? I go, I have no idea. So I went to Facebook and go on Facebook to go look up the name because I didn't even know what the guy's last name was. And I look up the name and go, oh, that's so-and-so. I'm our engineer.

00:06:28 - 00:06:35 | Speaker 2:

You know why he got the invite. They know you're very generous with the gifts. Is that what it was? They don't want you to come. They just want you to send a gift in your absence.

00:06:35 - 00:06:43 | Speaker 3:

We actually did send them a gift, so we just sent them a check and said, thank you so much. But we declined and couldn't make it.

00:06:43 - 00:06:46 | Speaker 2:

For the low cost of one invitation, they got a really nice gift.

00:06:46 - 00:06:47 | Speaker 3:

It's interesting.

00:06:47 - 00:07:02 | Speaker 4:

I saw somebody online who was sending wedding invitations to millionaires and billionaires' houses, hoping that they would pass on going to the wedding but still signing a check not knowing who it was but thinking they were important for having the address so genius yeah i bet it happens a lot they

00:07:02 - 00:07:12 | Speaker 2:

have a personal assistant or a secretary or somebody that just replies to everything and they run the names by him and go nope nope pass pass pass and then they just send gifts out

00:07:12 - 00:07:18 | Speaker 3:

morgan who annie was paying for you who who were you surprised to get an invite from morgan

00:07:19 - 00:07:26 | Speaker 5:

I got a baby shower invitation from someone I haven't talked to since elementary school.

00:07:26 - 00:07:27 | Speaker 3:

Oh, my gosh.

00:07:27 - 00:07:28 | Speaker 5:

Yeah.

00:07:28 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 3:

What do you think that's about? Is it just that they don't have a lot of friends?

00:07:35 - 00:07:42 | Speaker 5:

I'm not sure. All I know is on the invitation, it was asking everyone to bring in a package of diapers.

00:07:43 - 00:08:00 | Speaker 3:

Oh, my gosh. Wow, that's interesting. Texter here says that I work at a Coney Island, and I got a person that comes in regularly, sits at the counter, says hi to me, getting married, invited me to their wedding. I bet you that happens to a lot of customers.

00:08:00 - 00:08:01 | Speaker 2:

Yeah.

00:08:01 - 00:08:10 | Speaker 3:

We've had a couple times where listeners have invited us, but I've also said, you know, hey, you're getting married when I invite us to your wedding. You know what I mean? Yes. To be fair.

00:08:10 - 00:08:20 | Speaker 2:

I say the opposite. I'm like, please don't invite me to your wedding. I hate weddings. Unless it's on a beach. You don't want to go to Pakistan? If it's destination and I don't have to wear a suit and tie, then you can invite me.

00:08:21 - 00:08:26 | Speaker 3:

We're talking about invites. What's the strangest invite you had? What was the invite that you had, Tina?

00:08:27 - 00:08:29 | Speaker 7:

Good morning. Love you guys.

00:08:29 - 00:08:29 | Speaker 3:

Love you.

00:08:31 - 00:08:52 | Speaker 7:

So I am in car sales, and my customer asked me to go to lunch. Nice man. Bought a lot of Lincolns. He's like, I just want to do you a favor. So he takes me to the Big Fish And we're eating lunch And just out of the blue, he says By the way, would you like to have a threesome with me and my wife? Oh!

00:08:52 - 00:08:53 | Speaker 3:

Be too dumb

00:08:53 - 00:08:56 | Speaker 7:

Time to go

00:08:56 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 3:

Good question for you

00:08:58 - 00:08:59 | Speaker 7:

How do you respond to that?

00:08:59 - 00:09:04 | Speaker 3:

Did his wife ever come in and check out the Lincolns with you? Like, do you know what she looks like?

00:09:05 - 00:09:07 | Speaker 7:

No, nope, I know nothing

00:09:07 - 00:09:07 | Speaker 3:

Oh, wow

00:09:07 - 00:09:08 | Speaker 7:

Never met her once

00:09:08 - 00:09:13 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, how did you respond to that? to make sure that he doesn't go and get his Lincolns from another dealership?

00:09:14 - 00:09:21 | Speaker 7:

Well, I valet parked my car, and I looked at my watch, and I'm like, oh, got to go. And I literally bolted.

00:09:21 - 00:09:22 | Speaker 3:

You never responded with a no?

00:09:23 - 00:09:25 | Speaker 7:

No, I just said no. I said no, and I had to go.

00:09:25 - 00:09:29 | Speaker 3:

Oh, okay, wow. What's going on, Amy? How you doing?

00:09:30 - 00:09:39 | Speaker 6:

Hi, yes. I know that you can send a baby shower invitation to, like, Pampers and Gerber and other baby companies, and they sometimes send you gifts.

00:09:39 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 3:

Really? That's a great idea.

00:09:42 - 00:09:44 | Speaker 1:

Mike, take note.

00:09:46 - 00:09:51 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's an incredible idea. That's great marketing on their part if they're doing that, you know?

00:09:51 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 4:

Absolutely. Isn't it the same thing like if you send a wedding invite to the White House, they'll send you letterhead back congratulating you on your wedding? Yeah. That's pretty cool.

00:10:00 - 00:10:08 | Speaker 1:

We did that. We have a letter from Bill Clinton saying, congratulations on your, while we couldn't attend, we wish we could have. That's pretty cool.

00:10:09 - 00:10:12 | Speaker 4:

What did you do with that then? Did you guys, do you have that or not?

00:10:12 - 00:10:13 | Speaker 1:

I don't know where it is.

00:10:14 - 00:10:17 | Speaker 4:

That would be kind of cool. A letter from the president. What's going on, Jenna?

00:10:19 - 00:10:34 | Speaker 6:

Hi. Yeah, I, um, when I was in college, I went to Taco Bell so much that I befriended the lady in the drive-thru and she ended up inviting me to her baby shower. and it was a pretty ratchet town that we were in, so I declined, but it was a nice offer.

00:10:34 - 00:10:36 | Speaker 4:

Wait, did you send a gift at least?

00:10:37 - 00:10:45 | Speaker 6:

No, I didn't actually get a formal invitation. I had no idea where to send it. She just told me about it in the drive-thru because I saw her at least twice a week.

00:10:47 - 00:10:57 | Speaker 4:

You know what? In that case, I would almost rather go to that or at least send a gift to that than go to a cousin or somebody that you don't even talk to anymore.

00:10:57 - 00:10:59 | Speaker 1:

I went to my Starbucks barista's wedding.

00:10:59 - 00:11:02 | Speaker 4:

Did you? I remember you talked about that.

00:11:02 - 00:11:07 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, we became really close friends because I saw her every morning for the better part of seven, eight years.

00:11:08 - 00:11:15 | Speaker 4:

Somebody said that you actually can go to Pakistan and get to Pakistan in and out on a four-day weekend.

00:11:16 - 00:11:16 | Speaker 3:

Can you really?

00:11:16 - 00:11:27 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. Shannon, by the way. I will send a Vera Ice Cube. Shannon, you should do it. Honestly, you should do it, and you should see if you can bring the broadcast equipment that we use to broadcast from home when we have COVID.

00:11:27 - 00:11:31 | Speaker 5:

We can barely broadcast from home. Do you think I'm going to be able to broadcast from Pakistan?

00:11:31 - 00:11:35 | Speaker 4:

No. Pakistan has good Wi-Fi, I'm sure. It's all you need. What's up, Chelsea?

00:11:36 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 5:

Hi. I actually sent baby shower invites for my first – my daughter, her baby shower was in 2015. And I sent baby shower invitations to my regular doctor's nurses Because I had been going there for, you know, years And me and the nurses were actually really close Like, we talked about, like, a lot of stuff Like, they talked to me, too And I sent them invitations to my baby shower And they both came, like, I talked to them

00:12:06 - 00:12:08 | Speaker 4:

Wow I wonder if they liked that

00:12:08 - 00:12:11 | Speaker 5:

Oh, they asked to come They were happy Did they?

00:12:12 - 00:12:12 | Speaker 4:

Oh, that's cool

00:12:12 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 1:

Because they have so many

00:12:13 - 00:12:21 | Speaker 5:

And I had problems conceiving so when and they knew all about it so when it the time came for them it was special too that's cool

00:12:21 - 00:12:39 | Speaker 2:

00:12:57 - 00:13:12 | Speaker 3:

So the invite that just absolutely floored me is, you know, I mean, I work on my TikTok and I think I'm doing something with it. But when the Detroit Lions invited me to the home opener, gave me a jersey with my name on it, I got to hang out with Barry Sanders. What?

00:13:13 - 00:13:22 | Speaker 4:

I saw that. They invited a bunch of TikTok influencers, people who have a lot of – How many people do you have that follow you?

00:13:23 - 00:13:26 | Speaker 3:

182,000, something like that. Wow, that's amazing.

00:13:38 - 00:13:48 | Speaker 3:

00:13:51 - 00:13:58 | Speaker 3:

Megan commented, yeah, when I did that thing about the, I forget what it was about, some of my husbands and wives.

00:13:58 - 00:14:04 | Speaker 6:

Yeah, I was going to say, as soon as you said your handle, I'm like, I'm pretty sure you pop up on my For You page all the time.

Larry, hold on. We're having you talk to Reese, okay? Well, we got to show some love to each other. All right. Hold on one second. Taylor, speaking of the Lions, what did you do, Taylor? You sent an invite to the Lions?

00:14:15 - 00:14:28 | Speaker 7:

Yeah. So my brother graduated a few years ago. And his high school graduation, he sent an invite to Darius Slay on Twitter. And Darius Slay came walking in our backyard. Oh, my God.

00:14:28 - 00:14:29 | Speaker 2:

No way.

00:14:30 - 00:14:41 | Speaker 7:

That's awesome. You do a Google search. It's all over the Internet. He was interviewed by, like, ESPN. The news came out. It was a huge deal That is so cool

00:14:41 - 00:14:46 | Speaker 1:

And we saw Taylor Swift kept doing that Taylor Swift always did it whenever she had a new album coming out

00:14:46 - 00:14:48 | Speaker 5:

She would send graduation cards and money

00:14:48 - 00:14:55 | Speaker 4:

Darius Slay was actually one of the coolest players ever And actually still plays for the Eagles, right? Still with the Philadelphia Eagles?

00:14:56 - 00:14:57 | Speaker 7:

Yeah, I don't know

00:14:57 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 4:

That's awesome

00:15:00 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 1:

It was amazing.

00:15:00 - 00:15:09 | Speaker 6:

Could you imagine you're in your backyard for your high school graduation and the star of the Lions comes walking in? That's the best.

00:15:10 - 00:15:15 | Speaker 1:

Thanks for the call. And we still talk. We still keep in contact. Oh, my God. He's great. Wow. He's a great person. Yeah.
