Hello.

Georgia Hardstark (0:16)

Hello.

Karen Kilgariff (0:18)

And welcome.

Georgia Hardstark (0:19)

To Rewind with Karen and Georgia.

Karen Kilgariff (0:21)

This is the show where we step into the past through our old episodes, and we emerge from the other side with brand new feelings, case updates, and more.

Georgia Hardstark (0:29)

Today, we're rewinding to episode 103, which we named Live At The Balboa Theatre in San Diego.

Karen Kilgariff (0:36)

God, this was a good show.

Georgia Hardstark (0:37)

It was.

Karen Kilgariff (0:38)

It was so good. This episode originally came out January 11th, 2018

Georgia Hardstark (0:44)

All right, let's listen to the intro of episode 103

Karen Kilgariff (1:13)

Yeah, yes.

SPEAKER_3 (1:22)

What's up, San Diego?

Georgia Hardstark (1:30)

Oh, good.

Karen Kilgariff (1:30)

There's an exit there. There's two back there. And of course, there's one right over there.

House right, stage left.

Georgia Hardstark (1:38)

There you go.

Karen Kilgariff (1:38)

And of course, we brought the rug that my great-grandmother wove on a loom. Yes, this is the Kilgariff family rug. It was handed down from Gullway, Ireland, all the way down to...

It's beautiful. It's beautiful.

Georgia Hardstark (2:00)

God bless.

Karen Kilgariff (2:00)

It's just gorgeous. And it's...

Georgia Hardstark (2:03)

And then I just spilled my nail polish that I just painted, literally just painted my nails with backstage.

Karen Kilgariff (2:08)

George and I say a pre-show prayer. This is the insider information for locals only.

Georgia Hardstark (2:14)

And this was not a joke because they were like, you guys are atheist. No, we really say a prayer.

Karen Kilgariff (2:20)

Tonight, we said a prayer to the oceans and the local manicurists.

Georgia Hardstark (2:26)

Just kind of start talking and then at some point someone goes, Amen. And so I just painted my nails and she went to grab my hands.

Karen Kilgariff (2:36)

I know we actually started the prayer.

Georgia Hardstark (2:37)

All right.

Karen Kilgariff (2:38)

And then I went to say something.

We were like trying to be fake spiritual, it's what we do. And at one point I went to say something and George just goes, watch the fingers.

Georgia Hardstark (2:50)

That's much for me because I don't give a shit.

Karen Kilgariff (2:52)

No, it's for the show. You're right. It's for the people.

Georgia Hardstark (2:54)

No, I don't want it to get all over your hands.

Karen Kilgariff (2:56)

Oh, these old things? My hands are covered in pen and worry.

Georgia Hardstark (3:04)

It's fine. Some sun damage here.

Karen Kilgariff (3:07)

Some gapped jeans die because I'm never not going like this.

Steven (3:12)

Oh, no murder.

Georgia Hardstark (3:16)

Well, it's great to be here in San Diego. That's my segue.

Karen Kilgariff (3:24)

Is this new? Did you just write this?

Georgia Hardstark (3:25)

I just wrote this.

Karen Kilgariff (3:26)

Is this going to be your new thing?

Georgia Hardstark (3:27)

This is my new thing. Eileen.

Karen Kilgariff (3:29)

Oh, my God.

This is local Georgia. You're from nearby.

Georgia Hardstark (3:35)

I'm from nearby. I like you guys better than my hometown.

Don't tell them.

Karen Kilgariff (3:42)

Not me.

Steven (3:44)

NorCal, all the way.

Karen Kilgariff (3:47)

Oh, thank you.

Georgia Hardstark (3:48)

No, I like NorCal better than my hometown, too. Oh, everyone's happy.

Karen Kilgariff (3:53)

Let's rate the entire United States right now.

Georgia Hardstark (3:57)

The last time I was in San Diego, actually, was for Comic-Con.

You've been. And I got in a huge screaming fight with my friend in either the Gaslight or the Gaslamp District. Either the Gaslight or the, I can't hear anything.

Karen Kilgariff (4:13)

I bet you it's the Gaslamp District because the Gaslight District is where people take you to convince you that your thoughts are wrong.

Georgia Hardstark (4:20)

Right. Which is what we got in the fight about.

Karen Kilgariff (4:24)

Don't go there.

Georgia Hardstark (4:26)

She was doing that. She was gaslamping me in the Gaslight.

Karen Kilgariff (4:30)

She gaslamped the shit out of you.

Georgia Hardstark (4:32)

Yeah, we're friends now. It's fine. But if anyone witnessed it, congratulations.

Karen Kilgariff (4:38)

Remember that private memory of Georgia's that none of us were there for?

Steven (4:42)

Well, that's just the last memory I have of San Diego.

Georgia Hardstark (4:44)

So I'm really happy that this is the last one now. Yes.

Karen Kilgariff (4:48)

You're making new memories all the time.

Georgia Hardstark (4:50)

Right. San Diego? I went to Balboa Theatre instead of I got in a screaming fight. You know what I mean?

Karen Kilgariff (4:56)

Yeah. The last time I was here, I just had a really mediocre set of comedy. So I also apologize for my last experience here in San Diego. I didn't deliver any of the goods.
