• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm giving it away, but I can't give it away.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's a futon.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: It looks a little collegiate, I gotta be honest.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Is it the one that you've had forever?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yes.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Since college, it's actually like antique now.

  SPEAKER_01: I was in college in the 80s.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: Give me a break.
• 3:23
  unknown: Oh my gosh.

  SPEAKER_01: What year were you born?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: 84, girl.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: I can't even um so segueing into our next topic.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, what is the next topic?
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because uh, I can read the topics that Louis sent me, and they're like amazing because they have there's no way to segue any of these topics.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm like looking at the topics, and I'm like, okay, Lou, can't wait how we're going from the couch to this next part, which is we haven't done a fashion episode yet.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: We haven't done a fashion episode yet.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: So, how do we go from the casting couch, the casting futon to the we haven't done a fashion episode yet?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I don't know.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I really I've I don't know if this is like my uh strength, but you are right.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: We have never done a fashion episode, which is funny because you used to I was a model and you were a fashion photographer.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that's and that's the funny thing about that is that I I don't know what to go after now because fashion fashion has changed everything so much.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: And um the way fashion scrolls across on on um Instagram and various other social media, is that there's no staying powered any of the images in a lot of ways.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: And so a lot of stuff that I get sent to me by Sarah Laird.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Sarah Laird is a production house that does that focuses on fashion.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: And when their emails come out from Laird and Good Company, it's it's it's insanely stunning.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like they're their stable is in exceptional talent.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I just wonder how they are able to produce the type of work that they do to the level that it can get consumed and sort of be spit out by social media so quickly.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: And so maybe that's the angle.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, how maybe we talk to an artist about how they keep up with the social media and still keep it really good and fresh, you know?
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I have a lot of ideas around this and a always always a lot to say about it.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I feel like we could for sure do a fashion episode.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: So everyone who is into fashion and would love to hear two people who don't work in fashion or are um that's veterans talk about fashion.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: We're we're gonna do it.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: No, we're I think we can call ourselves fashion hasbins at this point, really.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure has been.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: We're totally fashion hasbins.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: Love that.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: Love that for us.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: I love that for us.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: I used to be somebody, damn it.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so we're gonna do a fashion episode coming up.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like I actually could do an entire episode on like how upset I am that like Y2K fashion has come back.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're kidding me?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Has it?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh Jesus.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: You are are you not in the streets?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Are you?
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Do you just stay in in your home?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like you are like at my age, I I just live in my ivy tower.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm very happy here.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: I really enjoy it here.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: I live in Berlin where there's like tons of cute fashionable kids, and half of them are running around in like stuff where I'm like, oh my god, I'm old.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like this, you know, when when this is the moment where I was like, holy shit, I'm old because you know, when I was like in my early 20s, we were wearing like weird 80s stuff and 70s stuff.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: And and I remember like my friends who were like a little bit older were just like, absolutely not.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like we already did this and we did it was not great the first time around.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: And we were like, now it's so cool, you don't know you're old.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: And now I'm like, oh my god, I'm those people.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, guys, like this, you're gonna regret all of this soon.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I promise you, in a couple years, you're gonna be like, I should not have worn the weird bedazzled, like low rise pants.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, no one loved that the first time around.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: But, anyways, I love that this is turning into the fashion episode.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: Uh this is the legitimate fashion episode now.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I like this.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'd like to have every topic we're just gonna go a little bit into.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Just a little deep, not a lot deep.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: The shallow end.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but also I'm really interested in this next topic.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Also, I just wish you could all see this because Lou sent me like a Google Doc, and the topics are like so large in in font size.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like they're they're like half the page is just a topic.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm being yelled at by the topics.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: But the next topic is which I don't know anything about because I just read about it in the topics, is we have a website.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: We have a website now.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, it's a little sad right now, but it's coming together rapidly.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: But um, yeah, I'm gonna try to.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: I thought we already had a website, but we have a new website.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, no, it's it's sort of a website where I'm gonna write like every other week type of thing.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh CJ's gonna write some stuff there too.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: I will not be writing anything.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, you're not gonna write anything.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: You never write anything.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: Unless you want me to treat it like how I treated my Facebook circa 2010 and just like put emotional updates on my life.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Facebook, I only keep Facebook because it does this awful thing, which is every day it reminds you of your memories from the past that you've had on Facebook, and it just goes like up to like 18 years back and just shows you what you wrote.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: And every day I'm reminded of like how much of a loser I am.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because some of the stuff is so emo.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like I used to really just put everything on the internet and it survived, you know, but like very dramatic poetry.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's fun.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, I could I could do that.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: I could do like dramatic poetry on the internet.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, dude, dramatic poetry, that'd be fun.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's it's really sort of an all-comer type of thing, but you know, we're we're gonna figure out some stuff.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: We're we're we're trying to figure it all out.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: You're all doing like very serious uh long form, and then there's just like god no all caps.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just I'm just I'm just gonna um write there to avoid writing what I'm supposed to be writing.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: So there we go.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be my distraction.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, my good thing.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: So um but we also underneath this topic is another thing that you wrote, which is I love this.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: I love that you just decide topics and then I just grill you on them.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: No, completely.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: This is exactly what's happening.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, are we gonna do YouTube?
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: I don't What does that mean?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: What does that mean, Lou?
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: What do you I don't know?
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: I I tell me more.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: Tell me what you're thinking.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: The most hardcore podcast that I listen to, which is amazing, which is audio only, has now gone to YouTube.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: They they're doing occasional episodes up on YouTube.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: Where it's it's interesting to watch because there'll be three people in a room and the cutting is jarring.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's like almost nausea inducing.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't know.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: As long as I don't have to edit it, and then I'll actually have to.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: No, that's what Alexander's gonna do.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'll just actually have to do it.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: She's scowling at me right now.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, we're gonna have people do that.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Other people do that.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, no, we're we're just this that's because we're legit now.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, well then I guess there's gonna be I can't just sometimes jump to the podcast in my pajamas, being like, hey, just I don't know.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if we're gonna do this or not, but I think I feel like there's legitimacy to doing that, and since this is legitimate.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: I do feel like every podcast now is also like a video show, which is weird.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: How interesting can it be to to watch people talking into a microphone that look like a big giant.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: Also, I've I only ever watch clips of people on on like Instagram for the case.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: I never watched like the I never watched like a full I would never watch a full podcast on the podcast is what you listen to when you walk from one place to the other or you have to like or those just to drive because we live in California, thank you.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean for yeah, for the people who still drive, um, who still have to drive.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: But it's crazy because I'm like, I was thinking about I'm like, I don't ever just like lay on my bed and listen to podcasts.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: I always use it as like a thing when I'm like, okay, I I want to have something else going on while I do this very menial task that I don't want to do.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: But I would never just be like, let me watch my favorite show that is a podcast.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: But I will doom scroll like really funny clips of a podcast and then be like, maybe I'll watch that podcast because this is pretty funny.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: Your your life's more complicated than mine right there.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:23
  unknown: Yeah.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, because I have an Instagram and you don't.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: We have an Instagram, Chaos Creativity.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you don't.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: Alexander's doing our Instagram first.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Hallo, you are not doom scrolling Instagram ever.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: No, I don't even have Instagram on Facebook.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like, no.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Just based on that, my life is more complicated than yours.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: No, absolutely right.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely right.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, wait, so we also we so in the we did the bumpers for our Skywalker Sound episode, but this is one in a series of potentially three, it definitely two.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: And we need to figure out how to do a series.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of think that we should do Wednesday, Thursday, Friday if we have three, the third person confirms and I get to interview them, or a Thursday, Friday thing if they do two.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, uh when I used to listen to like anything that had like more than one part, unless the story was broken into, like if they were like it was the same person, but they're like this is part two, then it makes sense.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: But I feel like if you're doing a limit series, you can still just be like, these all exist together and they can be still like a week apart.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: They can have a three line but still be a week apart.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: So maybe we just maybe we just do our our Thursday releases then.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: But we're like, but this is we can just tell people this is specifically about this.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: And they will forget it immediately.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: Perfect.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, nothing like grappling with a moral dilemma.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's now done.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: So um, all right.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: So we're getting that to the highway.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: You don't have this holiday in Drewland, do you?
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: The July 4th thing.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: No, because uh we did not have to like start a new nation and take it away from somebody else.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, true fact.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um this is the 250th anniversary of our nation.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I oh oh, I'm aware.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm aware.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I can't believe it's in the hands of the fucking assholes.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't you guys didn't you guys have like a WWC wrestling thing?
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, on the on the I mean it was just like it was just so next level crap.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's unreal.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: So something that's really funny in Berlin is whenever whenever I go anywhere and there's like Germans and Europeans and then there's Americans, like the Americans with no matter what, within like 10 to 15 minutes, whatever the conversation is, talk about segue, no matter what, we will get into how fucked America is.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: And like, but like it's not the other, it's like no everyone else is kind of like, yeah, well, you guys have been like off the rocker for a while, but we're like, no, but this is the worst, you know, like I think they've just I think they've just been like watching for a while and they're like, yeah, you're you're a pretty young country and just consistently drunk.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but but like the Americans are just like, oh my god.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then we just like all recite this trauma dump everything that we've been reading on the news um for like the last, you know, however.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_00: But it is really funny because that it is no matter what.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: No matter I mean, my boyfriend is German, he's like, it is crazy that Americans are so traumatized by this that this is all they can talk to each other about at this point when they're in another.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: It is it's traumatic though.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's traumatic.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's it's a basic tenants of how this country was built being completely destroyed by bloated assholes.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's it is like it is an insane, it is insane, especially like that when you're removed from it, like when you're not in it, it's like a completely different uh sort of insanity to watch.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like also just like sometimes I'm like, this would be so funny if it was a movie.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like this would be like such a funny movie, like if people weren't actually living through it.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like the reflecting, like the things that happened.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: The reflecting pool is my own.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh I'm reading a book called The Last Kings of Hollywood.
• 17:06
  unknown: Ooh.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: About um Copeless Spielberg and um Lucas, and it is fascinating to I did not know this, but in the late 60s and early 70s, Hollywood was collapsing on itself because how the old studio system was failing.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: And these guys produced these movies that became massive, massive hit and revitalized the entirety of Hollywood.
• 17:28

• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um in terms in Hollywood also.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so it's like nice because I think that sometimes people, I mean, in general, we when we think about everything in the world, I think we're always like, it's never been this freaking awful.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, well, it's been pretty awful.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's been pretty awful.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, remember when uh we literally when we literally like destroyed entire nations and I don't know, it's been pretty awful in the past, and on top of that, like right now we at least there is conversations happening that weren't even I don't know, thought about it happening.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: But I think sometimes I really have to like I think it's okay to be like yes, things are shitty now, we can hold that, but we can also say like it's not it's not the worst of times.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's definitely not the worst of times, you know?

• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like a slow and you get really caught up into it, and it's about how there's this group of people, there's 10,000 people, they're underground because outside is screwed up, and and um it it is so good.
• 19:19
