Speaker 1: that is so frigging dangerous.
1:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, not only for him, but for other people on

1:33
Speaker 2: you're so tired. It's like, what are you going to do?
1:35
Speaker 1: It's tough, Yeah, but you know, it was fine as
1:37
Speaker 1: the morning went on and I woke up a little
1:39
Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, but it's not easy. It's not easy.
1:43
Speaker 1: And it's nice to get out early. I mean, it's
1:44
Speaker 1: ten oh six right now, I'm pretty much done. I'll
1:47
Speaker 1: do the podcast and then I have a call at
1:49
Speaker 1: ten thirty and then I'm done for the day. But
1:52
Speaker 1: I'm tired. Yeah, and I don't nap. I'm not a napper,
1:55
Speaker 1: are you No?
1:56
Speaker 2: I only when I work Bruins games. I'll go home
1:58
Speaker 2: and I'll nap and then I'll go in for the
1:59
Speaker 2: game because I get out so late. But I try
2:02
Speaker 2: when I'm just like doing my normal stuff to not
2:04
Speaker 2: do it. There are days where I have fallen asleep
2:07
Speaker 2: on the couch and they've been like.
2:09
Speaker 1: Right by accident. Well I have trouble going to sleep
2:11
Speaker 1: at night. Are you? Are you a fall asleep easy person? Hard? Yeah?
2:16
Speaker 2: Hard? I always And this is actually crazy, but for
2:20
Speaker 2: the first I think year that I was working here,
2:23
Speaker 2: when cause you go to sleep so early, or you
2:26
Speaker 2: try to at least to try to get like eight
2:28
Speaker 2: hours before you wake up in the morning, I was
2:30
Speaker 2: taking an advil PM every night. Yeah, and I did
2:34
Speaker 2: not know that that would like kill my liver. Like
2:36
Speaker 2: I guess in my head, I was like, this is
2:38
Speaker 2: probably not the best thing to be doing. But like
2:40
Speaker 2: I got to a point where my mom was like, hey,
2:43
Speaker 2: you can like destroy your body from doing that.
2:46
Speaker 1: Please stop, And I was like, yeah, it's not it's
2:47
Speaker 1: not going to do every day for sure. Once in
2:49
Speaker 1: a while it was okay.
2:50
Speaker 2: No, this was like every night for a year and
2:52
Speaker 2: then yeah, So then I switched to melatonin, and then
2:56
Speaker 2: I switched to magnesia yes, is gonna say. Now, I
3:01
Speaker 2: just do nothing. I can fall like it doesn't take
3:03
Speaker 2: me that Like I don't fall asleep easily, but like
3:07
Speaker 2: I've weaned myself off of anything and I can just
3:09
Speaker 2: go to bed naturally, which is pretty good.
3:11
Speaker 1: Wait, you still take magnesium? No, you should just for
3:15
Speaker 1: health reasons, not just to fall asleep. You should take
3:18
Speaker 1: magnesium at night because most of us are deficient in it. Okay,
3:21
Speaker 1: can you take any other vitamins?
3:22
Speaker 2: No? I try, but I'm I'm so bad, like regimented
3:27
Speaker 2: stuff like that. I'm so bad. I like, I'm I'm
3:29
Speaker 2: not good at even I can have it sitting on
3:31
Speaker 2: my counter and I'll like look at it and just forget.
3:34
Speaker 1: So Gen's like that too, And she gets these from GENC,
3:39
Speaker 1: these women's vitamin packs and they're little packs that has
3:42
Speaker 1: all the vitamins in it, so you just open it
3:44
Speaker 1: up and put it in your mouth.
3:45
Speaker 2: Pause, that'd be good.
3:47
Speaker 1: But yeah, that it's helped her tremendously. So now she's
3:50
Speaker 1: taking it every single day.
3:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's still the taking putting it in.
3:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get you.
3:58
Speaker 2: I'm so bad, Like if it's not something that I
4:01
Speaker 2: once I get into a routine of doing stuff like
4:04
Speaker 2: I obviously can, like, like I know, to brush my
4:07
Speaker 2: teeth every night.
4:08
Speaker 1: Like it's like once you do it, if to build
4:10
Speaker 1: a habit.
4:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm bad at building habits.
4:12
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to do with my kids, you know,
4:13
Speaker 1: especially my son, gem is a little bit younger. Is
4:16
Speaker 1: the habit of brushing your teeth every morning and every night.
4:20
Speaker 1: Every morning they can brush their own, but at night
4:24
Speaker 1: I brush them. And you know, these are things that
4:26
Speaker 1: I wish that I was taught or did. I should say,
4:30
Speaker 1: like the rule of life that you never go to
4:32
Speaker 1: bed with food in your mouth, meaning or after eating.
4:36
Speaker 1: So the rule for me is once I brush my teeth,
4:38
Speaker 1: I do not eat after that. So I never go
4:41
Speaker 1: to because that's how cavities form because the food get
4:43
Speaker 1: stuck in your teeth. So I brush and floss and
4:45
Speaker 1: then I'm done the day, which actually helps with like
4:48
Speaker 1: dieting and stuff, because I can have my last mail
4:50
Speaker 1: and then once I brush, it's over. But when it
4:52
Speaker 1: comes to sleeping, I was the same way I was.
4:55
Speaker 1: I used to take a ton of sleeping pills, melatonin.
4:57
Speaker 1: I'm off everything. Now I just take magnesium and also
5:00
Speaker 1: it takes tart cherry.
5:02
Speaker 2: I have heard that that's good for sleep.
5:03
Speaker 1: Tart cherry, and I take cayenne pepper capsules. My friend
5:08
Speaker 1: told me, I don't know, I don't know if it
5:09
Speaker 1: does anything, but the magnesium definitely does. But I used
5:12
Speaker 1: to take a ton of sleeping pills and this. Some
5:15
Speaker 1: are like really strong ones that are a prescription, but
5:19
Speaker 1: like one in particular, this is a safe, safe space, right.
5:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just us. Everybody listening, thank you.
5:27
Speaker 1: It's called trasit doon. Have you ever heard of this? Yeah, okay,
5:29
Speaker 1: so trasit Done is like it's a psych med but
5:33
Speaker 1: it is also used for sleep. It's a very strong
5:37
Speaker 1: sleeping agent. No knock you out, and if you if
5:40
Speaker 1: you cannot fall asleep, it's great. But once you take it,
5:42
Speaker 1: you're gonna wake up feeling like absolute shit roggy, you know,
5:46
Speaker 1: but it works and it knocks you out.
5:48
Speaker 2: Is that why it's used for psych patients? It's like
5:50
Speaker 2: for people who are kind of having an episode.
5:52
Speaker 1: Maybe, okay, yeah, I was never prescribed it for psych.
5:55
Speaker 1: It was more for sleep.
5:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that seems weird that they would just just
5:58
Speaker 2: prescribe it like a normal person.
6:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it has side effects for some people, some men,
6:05
Speaker 1: and I was struck by one of the side effects.
6:08
Speaker 1: It okay, prepare yourself. So the side effect is when
6:14
Speaker 1: I take it, it worked great and I fall asleep.
6:17
Speaker 1: But how can I say this in a clean way? No,
6:21
Speaker 1: I have to say it clean way. Uh. It's a
6:23
Speaker 1: sexual side effect where nothing comes out. Oh, very weird,
6:33
Speaker 1: very very weird.
6:34
Speaker 2: How is that related?
6:36
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is okay deflated because every
6:40
Speaker 1: time I took it, that would happen. And actually, you
6:44
Speaker 1: want to hear a quick story. One time I had
6:47
Speaker 1: a girlfriend that I started dating and she was sleeping
6:50
Speaker 1: over and I took it because I couldn't sleep, So
6:52
Speaker 1: I took it and then you know, we got a
6:55
Speaker 1: little action going on. And when I was done, like
7:00
Speaker 1: I still would finish, nothing came out. Yeah yeah, And
7:05
Speaker 1: so I did, and she was like, what the fuck?
7:09
Speaker 1: Just are you faking it?
7:10
Speaker 2: Yeah?
7:11
Speaker 1: What happened? Like she was pissed, what are you doing?
7:13
Speaker 1: And I tried to explain to her that it was
7:14
Speaker 1: the trasin one I took, and she looked at me like,
7:17
Speaker 1: you'll be a fucking liar. I don't believe you. So
7:19
Speaker 1: it kind of affected me that way, but I'm happy
7:21
Speaker 1: to report that I don't have to take anything anymore,
7:24
Speaker 1: and I've gotten pretty good at falling asleep. Reading helps.
7:27
Speaker 1: I know you're a reader. Yeah. And also the phone thing,
7:30
Speaker 1: it's tough, but I try to limit like an hour
7:32
Speaker 1: before I go to bed.
7:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bad because I read on my phone. Yeah. Yeah,
7:36
Speaker 2: like I that will and I know I know it's
7:40
Speaker 2: killing my eyesight.
7:41
Speaker 1: You read on your phone or or a tablet?
7:44
Speaker 2: Both?
7:45
Speaker 1: You read on your phone?
7:46
Speaker 2: Yeah?
7:47
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah? Do you have a Kindle.
7:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have the Kindle app on my phone.
7:52
Speaker 1: You don't like the actual books.
7:55
Speaker 2: No, I do, but like you do it all, Yeah,
7:57
Speaker 2: I do it all. It's it's cheaper to like buy
8:00
Speaker 2: I sometimes like romance novels you can get for like
8:03
Speaker 2: two dollars on Kindle versus twelve dollars paperback. But I
8:06
Speaker 2: also subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, and it's like eleven dollars
8:11
Speaker 2: a month for you to read basically like unlimited books.
8:15
Speaker 2: Some of them aren't in like the Kindle Unlimited thing,
8:18
Speaker 2: but for people that are, like basically it's like if
8:22
Speaker 2: you buy a book a month and read it, you're
8:24
Speaker 2: if you're gonna do it on your phone anyways. It's
8:27
Speaker 2: a good subscription to have, but for a while when
8:30
Speaker 2: I sometimes I fall like there will been months where
8:32
Speaker 2: I'll read like five books a month and be really good,
8:34
Speaker 2: and then I'll fall off and like not read like
8:36
Speaker 2: any for like two months or whatever or like whatever.
8:38
Speaker 2: Just you know. But I did the Math one summer,
8:41
Speaker 2: and it was like, I read like two books a month,
8:47
Speaker 2: so it was only costing me like five bucks or
8:49
Speaker 2: something like that, even though it's like it sounds.
8:52
Speaker 1: Like it would be cheaper. Yeah, yeah, but that was me.
8:55
Speaker 1: I was reading a book a week, right, you know.
8:58
Speaker 1: But I actually like holding the book.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. There it is significantly nicer in
9:04
Speaker 2: some aspects to have a real book. But also you're
9:08
Speaker 2: not carting around a book. You're just carting around your
9:10
Speaker 2: phone what you're doing anyway, So it's like there is.
9:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like in between books now. It's where I'm
9:15
Speaker 1: on like a break because I finished the Ben Mesick book.
9:19
Speaker 1: Was it great? It was really really good. But I
9:22
Speaker 1: finished that and now I guess I'm waiting for the
9:25
Speaker 1: Dave port in my book because Lisa hasn't come out yet. Yeah,
9:28
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of in between.
9:29
Speaker 2: Books because she's going to read it and then give
9:31
Speaker 2: it to you. I think, so ahead of time.
9:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd like to read it before the book club,
9:34
Speaker 1: because you know, I'd like to hear him talk about it.
9:37
Speaker 1: That's what a book club's for. Yeah, And I think
9:40
Speaker 1: any book club that I ever went to, I never
9:42
Speaker 1: read the book.
9:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the idea of it, you know. Yeah,
9:47
Speaker 1: although I did go to. So there's a guy he
9:49
Speaker 1: actually is on iHeart Howie car He's like a right
9:52
Speaker 1: wing political guy, but he wrote a bunch of crime
9:55
Speaker 1: books about Whitey Bulger, so he was a boss. He's
9:58
Speaker 1: a Boston Herald journalist guy, political guy, but he also
10:03
Speaker 1: wrote these books about the Bulger family. Do you know
10:05
Speaker 1: who Whitey Bulger is?
10:06
Speaker 2: Was? I this is embarrassing, but I kind of learned
10:09
Speaker 2: about him, like last year.
10:10
Speaker 1: He was a Boston crime lord and Selt, the infamously
10:14
Speaker 1: was an informant, was on the run for like twelve
10:16
Speaker 1: or thirteen years. They couldn't find him and he ended
10:18
Speaker 1: up getting caught and he got killed in prison, vicious
10:21
Speaker 1: viciously killed. Okay, but back then, after he left Boston
10:25
Speaker 1: went on the run, No one knew where he was,
10:27
Speaker 1: and he wrote this book called The Brothers Bulger. And
10:31
Speaker 1: I read the book because I was really fascinated by it.
10:33
Speaker 1: And then my dad and I went to a book
10:36
Speaker 1: club with Howie, so I'd read the book and then
10:38
Speaker 1: I went to see him and it was pretty cool.
10:40
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that is cool.
10:42
Speaker 1: To add to that, Whitey Bulger's henchman, like his right
10:46
Speaker 1: hand man who helped kill people and like beat people
10:48
Speaker 1: up and all that stuff, was a guy named Kevin Weeks. Okay, now,
10:51
Speaker 1: Kevin Weeks. When all the indictments came down and Whitey
10:55
Speaker 1: ran and went on the run, Kevin Weeks got caught
10:58
Speaker 1: and he ended up flipping and like testifying. He went
11:01
Speaker 1: to prison for like five years or something like that. Okay,
11:04
Speaker 1: he got out and wrote a book. Oh and it
11:06
Speaker 1: was called Brutal and he talked about like murdering people
11:09
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And then he did a book
11:11
Speaker 1: club and my dad and I went, and let me
11:14
Speaker 1: tell you, I was sitting right in front of him
11:16
Speaker 1: and it was interesting to hear him talk about it.
11:19
Speaker 1: But I'm looking in his eyes and I'm like, this
11:21
Speaker 1: dude's a murderer. Yeah, yeah, like you can tell people. Yeah.
11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:25
Speaker 1: Have you ever gone to a book club or like
11:27
Speaker 1: a book like met an author?
11:28
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah, a couple.
11:31
Speaker 1: Like one of your romance ones.
11:33
Speaker 2: No unfortunately not No, like you and Age put on
11:36
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff like that where you could like
11:38
Speaker 2: go and they would bring people in and talk about
11:40
Speaker 2: books or whatever. But yeah, nobody that I've been like,
11:45
Speaker 2: oh my god. Well, actually when we met Jody Pico, I, oh,
11:51
Speaker 2: you read our books? Yeah. In high school I read
11:55
Speaker 2: My Sister's Keeper and then it was for a film
12:00
Speaker 2: class that I took, so you had to The final
12:03
Speaker 2: was like you read the book and then you watch
12:04
Speaker 2: the movie adaptation for whatever book you chose. And I
12:07
Speaker 2: chose My Sister's Keeper. The book really good. The movie
12:10
Speaker 2: sucks ass, right, So I when I met Jodi Pico,
12:13
Speaker 2: I was like, Hi, like, I really love My Sister's Keeper.
12:16
Speaker 2: I hated the movie just so you know. And she's
12:18
Speaker 2: like me too, yeah, oh really Like that was like
12:20
Speaker 2: how I like met her. I was like, Hi, I
12:21
Speaker 2: love your book, hate the movie, and she was like
12:23
Speaker 2: me too.
12:25
Speaker 1: It must be weird, right, You write a book and
12:27
Speaker 1: you have an idea of you know who these characters
12:30
Speaker 1: are and everything. You wrote the book and then you
12:31
Speaker 1: see it on the big screen. You're either gonna love
12:34
Speaker 1: it or hate it.
12:34
Speaker 2: Well, the cast was really good, but the script was awful,
12:37
Speaker 2: Like they changed a lot of the big stuff and
12:38
Speaker 2: it was like, why are we doing that?
12:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephen King has infamously like separated himself from some
12:43
Speaker 1: of his movies. Yeah, with The Shining, he didn't like.
12:46
Speaker 2: Oh really, I never read that book.
12:47
Speaker 1: Oh you have seen the movie?
12:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, The Shining, Yeah you have.
12:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, great movie.
12:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good movie.
12:53
Speaker 1: You know that. You know the scene at the end
12:55
Speaker 1: with the bear costume guy.
12:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember that scene vaguely, but yeah.
12:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird. That wasn't in the book. I
13:02
Speaker 1: added that in Interesting it's when she was was at
13:05
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. It's all coming to a
13:06
Speaker 1: head and like the ghosts are coming out, and she
13:08
Speaker 1: runs up the stairs like in a panic, and she
13:11
Speaker 1: looks down the hallway into a room and there's a
13:13
Speaker 1: fucking guy in a bear cost them random and he's
13:17
Speaker 1: on his knees on the front of the bed. And
13:18
Speaker 1: then she's like, what the hell? And then it pans
13:21
Speaker 1: in and some old guy sits up the bear was
13:23
Speaker 1: giving the guy.
13:24
Speaker 2: Yeah filatio, Yeah, yeah.
13:25
Speaker 1: It's one of I get chills thinking about. It's one
13:27
Speaker 1: of the creepiest scenes I've ever seen.
13:29
Speaker 2: Now that you've said that, I'm like, do I remember that?
13:31
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta go look it up.
13:33
Speaker 2: I've seen The Shining at least twice. Oh really, so
13:36
Speaker 2: I'm like, how do I not remember that?
13:38
Speaker 1: It's a great movie.
13:39
Speaker 2: It is interesting when authors. So my favorite author who
13:42
Speaker 2: I've talked about a couple of times, Emily Henry. She's
13:45
Speaker 2: had one of her books, her very first book, People
13:47
Speaker 2: We Meet on Vacation got turned into a Netflix movie,
13:50
Speaker 2: and her other book and this book is like her
13:52
Speaker 2: baby Beach read is being turned into a movie, and
13:55
Speaker 2: she's not happy with the casting. So it doesn't sound
13:58
Speaker 2: like she really had like a lot of involvement in it.
14:02
Speaker 2: But it's Arnold Schwarzenhager's son Patrick got cast as the
14:08
Speaker 2: main character. He's not The character's name is Gus Everett.
14:12
Speaker 2: That man is not Gus Everett. And the fans hate it.
14:16
Speaker 2: They want it canceled. Basically, I would love to see
14:18
Speaker 2: this movie adapted. It's my favorite book of hers, but
14:21
Speaker 2: the casting is just not it and people she's not happy,
14:24
Speaker 2: the fans aren't happy. Nobody's happy. Like, if it gets scrapped,
14:28
Speaker 2: I won't be surprised.
14:30
Speaker 1: But I wonder if you know, when they sell the
14:32
Speaker 1: rights to the book to the movie company, can't they
14:35
Speaker 1: negotiate that they're going to have some involvement in it.
14:37
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, she this is the second of
14:42
Speaker 2: hers to be adapted, so it sounded like she was
14:46
Speaker 2: very happy with People we Meet on Vacation the first
14:49
Speaker 2: one that got adapted, and she really liked the cast,
14:51
Speaker 2: and it sounds like she was happy with the way
14:53
Speaker 2: that Netflix did it. I don't know. I don't think
14:55
Speaker 2: it's Netflix that's adapting this one. I don't know who
14:58
Speaker 2: it is, so I don't know the the scenes. But
15:01
Speaker 2: I always think about Rick Ryerdon, who wrote Percy Jackson
15:05
Speaker 2: and that book got turned into a movie. Do you
15:09
Speaker 2: ever see those movies? No, they were not very good. Well,
15:12
Speaker 2: they're not good as an adaption. If you just watch them.
15:15
Speaker 2: To watch them, they're like, they're fun, they're like campy.
15:17
Speaker 2: But he when he read the script, they were like,
15:20
Speaker 2: we're turning your book into a movie. He's like yay,
15:23
Speaker 2: And he was like, this is horrible, do not put
15:25
Speaker 2: my name on it? And he had. He literally was like,
15:27
Speaker 2: I'm not even touching that. But they just recently Disney
15:30
Speaker 2: Plus adapted it to a show and he's like heavily
15:33
Speaker 2: involved in it. So it is interesting to be like, Okay,
15:36
Speaker 2: I hate that, I'm not attaching myself to that, but
15:39
Speaker 2: like years down the line be like, okay, let's try again.
15:41
Speaker 2: That's exactly what he did and he's very happy with it.
15:44
Speaker 1: Well, any book that's turned into a movie, I mean,
15:46
Speaker 1: just from the reader's perspective, you know, you're either gonna
15:49
Speaker 1: love it or hate it because you have your idea
15:51
Speaker 1: of what they should look like and sound like. Right,
15:53
Speaker 1: so you're either going to be like, yeah, I like
15:55
Speaker 1: it or this sucks.
15:57
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And some of them are like really bad.
15:59
Speaker 2: And then you stuff like The Hunger Games, which is
16:01
Speaker 2: probably the best movie adaptation ever.
16:03
Speaker 1: Oh I saw the trailer for the new one. Looks
16:06
Speaker 1: oh really, it looked pretty intense.
16:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, this book they're all like really they're all of
16:14
Speaker 2: the Hunger Games are like, whoa, this is like crazy
16:16
Speaker 2: obviously just by like the nature of it. But this
16:19
Speaker 2: one was a prequel about Hamich, who's there who's Catnus
16:24
Speaker 2: and Pete's like the guy that's in charge of them.
16:28
Speaker 2: What's that called, like a mentor? He's their mentor and
16:31
Speaker 2: it's his time in the games, and it's this book.
16:36
Speaker 2: That book was crazy, like there was literally no happiness.
16:40
Speaker 2: You were reading it like, Okay, it's got to get better.
16:42
Speaker 2: At some point. No, you literally closed it and you
16:44
Speaker 2: were like, okay, so his life sucks. Cool.
16:46
Speaker 1: I think I saw the first one.
16:48
Speaker 2: You should watch them all. The second one is probably
16:51
Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies ever.
16:52
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence and all of them.
16:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's the main character.
16:55
Speaker 1: Oh, even in the new one coming out, Huel Well.
16:58
Speaker 2: People are like alleging that there might be because the
17:01
Speaker 2: very Well spoilers for anybody who hasn't read the book.
17:04
Speaker 2: But it's been like a year. The very last chapter
17:07
Speaker 2: is like a flash forward to Hamig and Catnus and
17:11
Speaker 2: Peta like in the present time. So people are like, Okay,
17:14
Speaker 2: there might be that last chapter might be adapted in
17:17
Speaker 2: her and Josh Hutcherson might come back for it, just
17:21
Speaker 2: like as a little yay for the fans. But I've
17:25
Speaker 2: heard that's like a rumor.
