Stavvy's World #141 - Alyssa Limperis and JP McDade | Full Episode

Folks, we have an incredible episode coming up right now
with two of my favorites, J.P. McDade, of course,
and Alyssa Limparis.
But first, I want to let you know I'm on the road again.
London, our first show sold out on September 6th.
We have added a show September 7th.
Tickets for that are going fast.
Go get your tickets.
Dublin, those are almost sold out as well.
That's September 12th.
So London on September 7th, Dublin September 12th.
Get your tickets almost a month, a little over a month away.
And then the rest of the tour is unfortunately sold out in the UK.
But I am coming to America.
And we are starting that tour off November 6th in Memphis, Tennessee.
We have a whole bunch of other dates coming up throughout the South.
Check out Stavi.biz for those.
And of course, I want to highlight Austin, Texas on November 22nd
and Boston on December 13th.
So we'll see you there.
Stavi.biz for all the tour dates.
And without further ado, let's start the show.
Opa!
Welcome, everybody, to Stavi's World.
904-800-STOV.
Call in.
We'll solve all your problems.
We've got a power couch today.
We're double Greek'd up.
I can't even...
Alyssa Limparis.
The Opa, the background, the music.
I think it's Sunday.
It feels so good.
Don't you feel powerful right now?
I do feel like we should...
Yeah, it's a little bit like...
I have outnumbered myself, Cass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This was a mistake, I think.
We have two Greeks.
We have our Albanian servant in the corner.
Shepping everything up.
And then we have an out-of-place Irish man.
So we're trying to restore order to this chaotic environment.
Yeah, that's probably good.
Yeah, that's probably good.
That'll probably do it.
No, we don't need your fucking Catholic vibes fucking everything up.
Even this, like, is this a joke?
Like, to me, I'm like, that's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
No, no, I know because I do think...
This is over the top.
But I'm also like, I would love to have a painting of the ocean.
Of course.
And, like, those corny, like, those corny, like, there's a window and drapes
blowing in
the painting.
Yes, yes, yes.
Of course.
I see that, I'm like, yeah, that's fucking art.
My art, right.
I don't, yeah, I don't...
I want to look at that and pretend I'm on the fucking beach.
That's right.
Yeah.
How about this?
Growing up, I had a window in my basement that was beautiful curtains and not a
window.
Not a window.
A fake out.
It was a fake window.
A fake window.
Really?
Yeah, just for the aesthetic.
What did it...
It was just on the wall?
It was like concrete.
Yeah, concrete.
It was in the basement.
So it was...
Yeah, full concrete.
Yeah, yeah.
That's awesome.
Was that your...
Were those your chambers or was that, like, a hangout room?
The hangout room.
Okay.
A finished basement.
A finished basement.
Ping pong table.
We had a ping pong table that you could take off and become a pool table.
Oh, I mean, that's...
It was the double.
That's incredible.
Yeah.
That's like...
The convertible.
The convertible.
Yeah.
That's fucking gold star suburban basement.
I was thinking, because I live in L.A. now, and I'm like, I miss...
Do you guys have basements here?
Like, do you guys ever find yourself in a finished basement?
No.
No, not here, no.
I miss it.
The basement is a complete...
Like, I will say the two things...
This came up recently because it's summertime.
It was 4th of July.
The things the suburbs crushed New York on, without question, is 4th of July.
Absolutely.
It's the most suburbs holiday there possibly is.
Big backyard, shitty grill you bought from Home Depot.
You can't walk around...
Bubba's Burgers.
You know what I mean?
Shitty Burgers.
Lake House is a number one.
Well, guys, I got to tell you something crazy.
Auntie Linda, if you're watching...
Yeah, Linda...
I was in Lake Winnipesaukee for 4th of July with Bubba's Burgers.
Yeah!
You need Bubba's.
You need...
You need...
You need burgers that come from, you know, a gross...
A huge...
Hawaiian rolls.
That's not a gross...
A stop and shop that's huge or...
I think you're going Sam's.
I mean, I'm never getting Bubba's in a six pack.
I'm getting...
Bubba's for me only exists.
But Bubba's is the only thing that comes in bulk at a supermarket.
That's right.
You know, like that...
It's like they've...
It's crossed over.
They've made some kind of special arrangement.
Yes.
You get the styrofoam explicitly non-biodegradable cooler from the top of the
aisle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, no.
Load that up.
It's shit...
So it crushes.
Like, 4th of July, they just shouldn't even do it in New York.
No, no, no, no.
It's kind of...
It's like, don't even do fireworks.
No.
Show like a...
In fact, double down...
It feels like Fallujah when the fireworks are going off in the city.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's scary.
You're like, fuck.
It's not right.
It provides cover for a terrorist attack in New York.
A hundred percent.
Like, it provides cover.
Like, if all fireworks, you'd be like, oh, nothing.
And then you find out, oh, that was actually the Empire State Building.
It was actually...
Somebody fucking blew it up.
Yes.
And so, and then you're a hundred percent right.
We're like, the finished basement.
It's just...
It's the extra...
Sliding door to chill on.
Sliding door to the finished basement.
Now, hold on.
Yeah.
Sliding door.
Oh, I know what you mean.
Because the yard slopes.
No, no, no.
There's an entrance.
That's the side room.
That's the den.
The sliding door is for the den.
There's that as well.
The basement has to have its own entrance.
For me, the basement, in order to get out...
Again, we had the concrete window.
You had to go up the bulkhead.
So you're not getting out.
Yeah, I like that, too.
I like that, too.
Yeah.
Those weird fucked up doors.
Exactly.
Where you're like, what is going on?
Am I battening down the hatches for a tornado?
Oh, you're emerging like the twister is gone and now...
Exactly.
Or you come in through the garage.
Sure.
That's a big one.
It makes a screeching noise.
And there's cobwebs, always cobwebs.
It's made out of cobwebs.
But there has to be...
The magic of the finished basement is that weird stairway where it's like you're
coming
into Narnia.
Exactly.
Where it's like they finished everything but the stairway.
For some reason, the stairway is still unfinished two-by-fours.
It's unsanded.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Nothing but splinters.
And then you go down and then the second your feet hit carpet...
You're...
Paradise.
And of course, what a memory of just you hear footsteps and you know bagel
bites are coming.
You hear footsteps and you know I'm getting the appetizer platter.
The Pavlovian footsteps.
The Pavlovian footsteps.
Oh, the mouth.
Exactly.
And those footsteps change.
That's when you know you're becoming an adult.
Exactly.
Is when those footsteps start becoming a warning.
That's right.
Where it's like, okay, fuck, put away the...
You know, oh, get the...
We have to throw away the boof.
We're smoking weed down here.
Throw away the beer.
You know, if you were cooler, stop fingering.
We didn't do a lot of fingering in our basements, me and Eldest.
But if you were cooler, you know...
I wasn't fingering, but I will say that I didn't heed the warning once.
And it led to a...
It led to...
I just remember driving to school the next day with my dad.
Stone cold silence the entire ride.
And then as we're maybe a minute away from Catholic school, you know, sometimes
men don't
have the best intentions.
And I think that's all I remember.
And then we never talked about it again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How old were you?
What were we talking about?
High school.
Got to be soft more.
Was this a sneak-in situation?
No, it was aware he was there.
So, yeah.
But...
But you held on to the grenade for too long.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then dad came down.
Yeah, you got greedy.
I got greedy.
You heard the creaking and you didn't...
For me, it was like, oh, pause the Dreamcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
No bases were being hit of any kind.
No, but we were...
I mean, you had a...
You were the closest guy to a basement because...
I'm sorry.
Beep that out.
The mysterious and elusive Big P had a basement.
But his was...
The entity known as Big P.
But we're in shitty, like, Greektown townhouses.
So that was more...
You're in beautiful, Greektown.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The envy of all the cities.
It wasn't the same as the suburban finished basement, but it was still...
The way his was set up was the closest we had to it.
But you had a very...
You had the unfinished.
You had the, like...
Oh, wow.
You guys were playing dice in the basement.
That really was...
The unfinished basement really was, like, you just...
You, like, chug quickly down there.
Yeah.
It's not a place for hanging out.
No.
I stored my couch in your...
Remember?
Yeah.
I just stored a couch in your parents' basement for, like, three years.
That would have been a great basement for, like, a piece of shit kid, like, who...
Like, I was too much of a loser.
Yeah, you were reading fucking...
Madame Bovary in your fucking bedroom.
We had, like, shitty couches down there.
It was, like, rife for getting, like, you know, completely trashed.
Right.
No one would have cared or noticed, but...
Totally.
I smoked weed down there once.
Yeah.
I drank down there, like, once or twice.
It was pretty whack, but...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was, like...
You completely wasted the basement.
Yeah.
You're a piece of shit for that.
Well, you know, what can you say?
But Straight George, another Greek member of the podcast...
He's a loose affiliate of the podcast.
He came on tour with us.
He's just my friend.
He has no...
Health czar.
He was our health czar, because he was fat as shit in college when we met, and
now he's
not.
So I was like, those are the qualifications for working for me.
He's like, can you just make sure I don't eat too many burgers?
Can you just be somebody to guilt me?
Yes.
If me and Eldis are left to our own devices, it's going to be tough.
Sure.
JP is an igno...
He's Switzerland.
Yeah, I'm not going to say no to these guys.
He's like a UN peacekeeper.
He's just there to, like, write down the atrocities.
Someone else will deal with them.
He's not stopping them, right?
I'm not intervening.
No, no, he's not intervening.
I'm an observant reporter guy.
Yeah, you're observing for Nuremberg later.
But you won't stop what's happening.
You know how Target will let you shoplift until you reach a misdemeanor amount?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm doing with life here.
Yeah, like if we started ordering party catering trays for ourselves, JP would
be like, all right
fellas, how about just a 24 each pack of wings instead of the jumbo pack?
I got to step in uncut gems and be like, I stopped the bet.
Yeah.
I stopped the delivery of the party sub to the back of the bus for just
stopping Elvis.
But, yes, but George had, he had a side room with the sliding door.
We called it the WFR, the winter fuck room.
Because it had, like, it felt very winter.
It was like dark wood.
It was like, you know.
Were you guys fucking in high school?
No, no, I was not.
Okay, okay.
But I think he literally had one friend who, like, used it to fuck when his dad
was away.
And so it became the winter, and it wasn't winter, I think.
Right, right.
And there it is.
It just became the winter.
That's all my high school friends.
They said, my, I have a girl on my phone, Lily Banana.
Yeah.
I don't remember.
It's like she probably one day had a banana for lunch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now, 20 years later, it's Lily Banana.
I don't even know her last name.
She's one of my closest friends.
Lily Banana.
Yeah.
But he had that, and he had a basement.
God damn.
He had the double?
He had the double, which was living in absolute luxury.
Right, it's almost too much.
Life is going to be a sharp drop off.
Well, and then it got taken away.
You know, I don't want to go too much into his family dynamic.
I don't want to speak out of time.
But it's like, you know, it just, there were some changes happening, and we
lost bot
