  Speaker 2: Show or friends shows that kind of thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm friends, but like just like up and coming.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I remember when I had a weekly show and it
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was like the headliner. I was paying them twenty five
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: bucks and day of they'd cancel and I'd be like,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: how could you do this to us? You're the big
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: picture on the fly or we made that in Canva.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It took me three hours. How could you do this
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to me?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Of course?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And now I see you're doing that happening well right,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: So I imagine there's some people that are bothered.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: But are you usually pretty dependable? Do you feel like
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I think? I mean, you got here right on time,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: which was so nice.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I was chastised for being late at like a summer
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: camp once in a way that was so intense it
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: rewired right like it was a musical theater camp. He
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: had been on Broadway once since it was like this
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: an older guy and I don't know. He was offering
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: to give me a little private lesson before the class
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: in the morning, and I just shaving took longer and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I was a little late, and he dreamed me. He
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: yelled at this sex seven thirty in the morning, and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: then he made me do the lesson as the class
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: was shuffling in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, how humiliating.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And it was like a tenor song that was too
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: high for me. And I hadn't warmed up properly, so
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just cracking just could be who knows as the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: class is shuffling in and and he was like very mad.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I think I appropriately showed how much shame I felt,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and at the end of the class he gave me
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: like a I appreciate how bad you feel. I know
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that you didn't mean what you did right and all
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: was forgiven.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: He felt some earnest repentance. Yes, wow, I mean that's Broadway.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: That's Broadway baby.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Wait. So did you do musical theater growing up? Or
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: was this just like a one off?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Then I did a lot of musical theater summer camps.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I went to college for musical theater. No way, it
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: was what I wanted, right, And then I just singing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I just hit a wall. I kind of got. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: had one teacher who I would like. The school didn't
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: want me to see this teacher because it was back home.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It was like my high school teacher, and they were like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: we have better teachers here. I secretly saw her on
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the side. How was salacious yet felt it was really.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's insane looking back, but I would go
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: into the voice booths and I would spend hours there
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: every day. I was obsessive, and I was so scared
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of being caught in this gigantic campus University of Miami.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I would bring my blanket and I would stuff it
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: into the corners of the little private wind yeah, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it would end by these And I was sweating in
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: these booths in Miami, secretly having an hour lesson for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: no one. No one was catching me, and everyone.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Knew what I was doing, right, Clearly something was going on.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jamark is missing three hours every day? What is
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: he doing? What's that? Why is that window covered of
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: course with a blue fuzzy blanket.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, well, they hope he's doing he's singing
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: back there, yeah, yeah, and uh.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure it was like a gross play. It's like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: oh that, why is that blanket of comestans on?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Like it from home?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yes? And so I just saw her, and I I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: believe that she was like it. It was a little bit
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: of a cult, like she has all the answers, right,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And then you had seen your year and you're like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not Pavatti and I'm in voice lessons again. Now
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: it's it's a decade later of like quitting and now
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I'm like flirting with it and singing a little more.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And my girlfriend, she's she doesn't care about music. She
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was raised. She says, let's tell people it's habad, which
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: is like a subsect of no one is. And she
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: tells me she just stop saying habbad. No one knows
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: what it is, and I go, let me educate them.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: And no music really growing up? Whoa so my singing?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I think about the women who I'm not saying be everything,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: but they might be wooed. They might hear me some
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: enchanted evening and go, oh how nice, how sexy this bird? Nothing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense to her, like her brain basically.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like there's no you know, so much of
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: music I think is connected to like nostalgia and our
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: certain age going through puberty. I don't and that's missing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: So she likes Joseph and the Amazing Technical or dream Code.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: That was the one you doesn't Bible friendly musical for
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the religious community.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Oh they were allowed to listen to that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: It wasn't even a it was just had they owned
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the VHS. Okay, But like she told me a story
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: in high school where it was like the kids they
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: found out she was listening to Britney Spears and like
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: as an insult, they were like, why don't you just
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: go listen to Britney Spears and the shame she all
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: threw it away. So it's like Britney Spears justin in
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the amazing technical dream code nothing and then Klezmer music.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, what sort of music are you singing? Old
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: show tunes?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish I could sing more pop stuff, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I'm singing Rogers and Hammerstein, I'm singing Sondheim, singing William
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: finn is my favorite Falsetto's and so it's still a
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: little more classical. And I'm trying to learn how to
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: do pop now. All right, it's all very tenory. All
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: that pops uf is so tenery. It's tough.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: This is what I complain about male pop singers all
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the time. For whatever reason. I will listen to female
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: pop singers NonStop. Yeah, the best women pop singers. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: when a man is singing pop music, it's like one
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: out of fifty isn't irritating?
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Is it too? Is it just too high? It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: just like I.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Think it's just uh no, it's just too corny. Most
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of the time. I think there's like a weird earnestness
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to it that doesn't work. And yeah, I don't know
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I'm so you don't feel like with the women, do
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: you feel like you have more of an allowance for
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the woman to be corny, because like corniness is but
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: my girlfriend we see musicals and she goes, it's so corny, right,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, you were raised religiously, Like come.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: On, who are do you say anything?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: But like, I think the answer is like we all
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: have acceptance for corny in different arenas, right, And I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: understand if you if if, but like, why is it easier?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I think one theory that was given to me by
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Lewis Vertell former guests, He said that women sell yearning
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: better than men. You can actually you feel like the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: pain is actually there. And then when men are singing,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it's it's too smooth or something. You don't feel like
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: real any texture. But I like, I'll listen to like
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: male rock singers. I see it's a different thing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, so who do you like men? Like like
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Justin Timberlake in his prime? Was he good?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't mind Justin Timberlake before we knew too much,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: before we know when he had the like those first
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: couple of albums were good, Yeah, pop music. But after that,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: who are we talking about?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Not as many?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there just simply aren't many good ones.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Bruno Mars is cool, you know John Legend.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: John Legend's not really pop more R and B. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I mean that's where you get into the category of
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: like Usher or these. I don't that sure, it's just
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: when it's strictly popped, there's just a And I love
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: corniness and musicals. I actually prefer a corny music really.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I love when a musical is not trying to be cool.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: What's your musicals? What are your what are your favorites?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I don't have. My boyfriend is like a Broadway vet,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: and I know so little about musicals. It's humiliating. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I saw, for example, I saw Hello Dolly when Bette
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Midler was in it. Okay, sure, unbelievable. What an experience. Yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: just embracing the core and you can.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Tap into that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Sure, when it's like more like trying to be edgy
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: or cool, I have to back away, just like because
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it's it's simply not Yes.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: What are some of your favorites. Falsetto's is my favorite
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: musical hands down. It's just a special one for me.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And then all of the song times. But I think Company,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I like the musical nine you know that if I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: looking like back to the Hello Dolly, because I did
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Cornelius and yeah, that's great. It was a lot of fun.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Those corny ones. It just takes like a second to
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: really get into them. But I like, I mean, I mean,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: you know, Oklahoma is a beautiful one. Hello Dolly is
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: a beautiful one. What what else is? Jerry Herman Mame
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: is good? South Pacific is put But I got to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: be in the right mood, right, I really got to
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: enter it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: And like music Man, Oh of course.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I did that in eighth grade. If I've done it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: it automatically enters the favorite territory. But music Man's fantastic.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think, Hugh Jackman, you you cannot be that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: good looking and play some of these roles. Right he
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: goes into seduce the librarian. I think she'd go short.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I don't care who what your thoughts are got, You
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: gotta earn it. So I do think I do think
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: some of those movie stars, I'm like, I'm like, Okay,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: not this one. You don't get to do this one.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: You got everything.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Else, I know. I mean, we've entered that era of
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: every movie star doing all everything.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you just be a movie star? Jake
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Jonhall did Seymour in a little Shop of for It?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Oh what that makes no sense to me? Rick moranis
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: exactly what are we talking about? Not that Rick moranis
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: isn't a great looking guy, but he's kind of a geek.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Nobody's got to earn it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: He's a geek.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: He's a geek.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: He's a cute geek. Yeah, but Jillen Hall is like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: just like an objectively.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Beautiful human being. What are you doing?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I will say? In Zodiac he plays a good like
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: kind of nerd kind of like.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you could be a good actor. But it's like,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: but what about giving it to the person who can't
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: play They can't play Wolverine, Yah, can't play that guy.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Representation and just kind of weird. We don't really talk.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: About representation when it comes to like looks because it's
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: too hard a conversation because it the mid people would
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: need to acknowledge.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: That they're mid. Right, Yes, and when you're an actor
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: you really have to just act like you're the best
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of the best. Yeah, even in Look.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But I'll acknowledge it. I should be music man over check.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It came down to you and Jack for some reason.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see him in that?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: No? I didn't see him in that. I've never met him. Okay,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: we'd have a good I think we'd have a good
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I'd be able to connect with them on musical theater
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: for sure, right, and I would do that. You people
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: people say, they'll say I look like Hugh Jackman, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: with an adjective that makes it hurtful, So it's just.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Leave it at huge Jacks. That's a great one because
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I've been I have been recently reminding people don't tell
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: people who they look like unless it's somebody who's really
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: good looking.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Hugh Jackman.
• 13:26

• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Don't want to be the one that they go, wow,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: he got it to the end of the song. He
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: got to the end.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: He remembered all the words.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Remembered all the words. And I think my voice teacher
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: is like, I tell him, you know, I do a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: thing called theater adult and I have like someone on
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and like, you know, uh, Laura Bananty's doing it soon
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: and these are big right names. And I feel like
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: my voice teacher he really is like he if I
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: get a musical, and I do think it will happen,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll do a little stint and something.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I think you're on your way to you know, they're
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: gonna be They're gonna want to be like John Marco.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Of course, this is the perfect person to slot into
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: this role.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I can tell my voice teacher doesn't respect me as
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: a singer, and I think that's yet, but also with
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: an air of like never walking off the stage. Yes,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and I think that's good. I think I'm drawn to
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: people who don't respect me because I go, you will
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: keep me grounded of course in a world where no
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: one else will ground me. Right, But I do think
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: i'll do something or i'll do I want to just
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: try to keep it, like, hey, come see me, I'll
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: do a reading of Falsetto's. Tickets are cheap, or we're
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: raising money for a thing, you're doing it. I saw
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Eliza Minelli in concert in high school and it felt
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: like we were doing a favor for her being there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: And she's a legend. But this was like, this was top.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Right, this is probably you know, arrested development, Liza.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: We're doing it because I love you. I want to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: be here and see you. And as long as that's
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the premise of the event, I go far. If i'm selling,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: like come see me, reinvent this classic role and we
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: lowered the key and you paid one hundred and fifty bars,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: and then I feel like then something has gone wrong.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It's robbery, yeah, and I just want to avoid that. Right.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I feel like you've went to college for it. You're
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: actually you're so far ahead of other people who tried.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work like that. It's like, well, I have
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a degree in it, so it is good. But you
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: always have a.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Bedrock to build from whereas some others stand up who
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like sings in the car and that's all their experience.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but then you see a singer like Mattel Lane's
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: a stand up where it's like he could. I mean,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: it's a voice from God, and you go, well, what
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: are you gonna do?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: But put him on Broadway and you're gonna get those
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Broadway message boards are gonna light up, You're gonna have
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: opinions no matter what.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Broadway community is it's a new particular. It's particular.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You've really got to earn it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's so hard. I'm getting to
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: a place where I can't shit talk the way that
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I used to.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Isn't that a nightmare? It is a shame.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It is because I prized I like to chit talk
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and that's part of my the best feeling in the world. Dang,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: but I've gotten It's now like it's I'm starting to
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: feel not even bad. But like I did a venue
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: recently and a manager can room and said, hey, so
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: we work with this other venue and I know you
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: had a problem with them, and I was like, what
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: do you mean. He said, Well, there was a podcast.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I guess you can plain, and I didn't even remember
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it because she was like, what can we do to
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: make it better? And I was like, I swear to god,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I was just like exaggerating a small complaint for comedic effect.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: We are fine, but there's going to be some positive change.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They're going to look into whatever that complaint was.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I mean I could abuse it for sure, of course. Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're right at the level, Like next
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: level you get to, you'll be able to ship talk
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: whoever you want, whenever you want, and it will only
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be for well, at least for your good.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: My girlfriend very wisely, and she's an entertainment and very smart.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: She said, you can decide publicly, are you going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: be criticizing comedians for their politics or for being bad comedians?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And she said basically, if you choose to do both,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: you can't be surprised if you don't have a lot
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: of friends. And because because I would do the thing
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: where I'd shit talk and then I'd come to her
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: and be like, well, someone gave me a weird look
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: at a thing, and She's like, yeah, of course you
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: said they sucked, And so I took it to heart
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: and I've got really hard in the political realm of
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: shit talk, and so I'm you know, trying to keep
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: more to the group chats the people I don't respect.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It's a safer route to go. I mean it probably
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: ultimately in long term in life, you're going to want
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to continue shit talking to political ones. You're never going
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to get into the same You're never going to care
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that they looked at you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Man. Yeah, I think it's just that thing where it's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: like you'd see an artist you admire promote something and
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: then you saw and you said that was terrible. Why
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: did my artist that I loved lie to me? And
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: it's like, well, because that's their friend.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: That's the Internet.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: It's because the person might not be gone on stage,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: but they're great at dinner. And that's just how oh.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: My god, I mean, going to see movies, watching TV
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: shows at this point you'll be You'll start up. You're like, oh,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I saw nothing but praise for this. I think, like
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: this is one of the worst pieces of art I
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: have ever consumed. What's going on? And you're like, oh right,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: people are friends with each other, yeah, and we have
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: to say nice things about friends. But then yeah, in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: group chat that you're lighting it up. I mean, there
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: are particular people that are just almost legends within group chats.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I think the worst, the worst, the most toxic thing
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: is when they someone you don't respect does something publicly
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: and then you look at the comments just to be like, good,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: good someone someone say speaking, someone's saying it. I don't
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: have like a burner account. I'm not that petty, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I'll look at the comments.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course thee I have one friend who's outside
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of the business, who still consumes a lot of things,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and he seems so free o. His Instagram story is
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: just saying exactly how he feels about everything. I'm like,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I remember the time when I could just complain on
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the internet. It's just not really an option anymore, less
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and less, less and less. But now the career goal
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: is just get to a place where I can I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: can just absolutely know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: But then there's always you know them, you meet them,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: you meet them. That's like I did. I hosted a
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: rally for Zorron this week. Oh wow, good for you,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: thank you everybody. That's yeah, everyone everyone's thinking good for me,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: of course. But it's one of those things where I'm like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: you meet these people and you feel a human thing
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: and the idea of then being able to go on
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: a show and being like, you know, if they say
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: do something that you disagree with, to be like fuck
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: that person. But they were so nice to me. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: then I can see the trajectory from that to Bill
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Maher being like Trump gave me a really nice dinner,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: and you go, what the fuck what happened? You go,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you shouldn't have gone to that dinner. We can't help it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Of course someone's nice to you, that's the problem. You
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: shouldn't meet these people. So it's just like it was
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: just I'm a little it's a little close, and I
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: go careful, careful, careful, But I feel like you're still
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: throwing bombs. I yeah, but I said him, I said, listen,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: if you win, I can't. I have to critique you.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I have to. And he was like give me one
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: term and I'm like okay. I didn't. But I was
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: like okay. And it's like ah ah, you can't be charmed.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's over for you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: It's over. And that's corruption, and that's getting older.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: You get older and you become corrupted.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, and then the older people say the younger people
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you don't understand. And the younger people go, no, you're
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: full of shit, and it's true, of course, and you're like,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: but I'm old and I just want to be a
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: little comfortable.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I won't be around much longer. Let me just die.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: That's the part I think about it is like when
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you look at the youth and you go because the
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: older people go like, the youth are crazy, and you
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: go like, can you not at least step outside yourself
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: and go When I was the youth, I looked at
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: this like this, and but as you get older, you're like,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I get it, and you're slowly just being chipped away, and.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I mean speaking of inappropriate things and just complaining and
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: criticizing something I'd like to criticize you for.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I was excited to have you here on the podcast today.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I thought, John Marc will come by, we'll have a
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: nice time, and then we'll move on. The podcast is
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: called I said no gifts, So I was a little
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: surprised when your uber screeched into the parking lot and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: you stepped out holding what was obviously a gift.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, I I can't out myself, no self control, no
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: self control, and you know, there's just an abundance. So
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I actually to make it worse, it's it's it's kind
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: of a two parter. Okay, First I hear this is
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: the best bakery in all of Los Angeles, and it
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: just so happened to be right by my sister's place, where.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, what is this?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: But this is a I washed my hands. This is
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: a croissant with with a nice match of power.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's beautiful. Where did this?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: It came from from Malu Malao Malao Coffee and kitchen.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: They got good coffee, good food, and good vibes. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: that's all I tried. I tried to bring the vibes
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: from there. And then I travel around a lot and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: my rider. It's not that complicated. It's flass. I asked
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: for floss, ask for floss, and they don't give me
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: just one flossy. They give me bags. And so, you know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: don't feel guilty about this because I have so much
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: fifty of these bags at my home, so two different
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: kinds of flaws. They are opened, that's fine, But it's
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: not like they don't go bad.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Right If I found there's in a gutter open, that's
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: a different.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Source for sure. And sometimes they do open and they
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: all pour out in a way that you're like, was
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the bag designed for these to pour out? And I
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: don't want to use a dirty one, so I have
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: to buy a new one. In this sauce scam, these
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: did not. And one's a Crayola.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I've never seen a Crayola flosser. Yes, fun philossph for kids.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: So these these are good.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Let me look at this Creola ones. This is very
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: interesting to me. Does it do anything like a crayon
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: or is it just to appeal to children.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I just think, you know, it's tough to get kids
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: to floss.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Oh they're great flavored, are they? Yeah?
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: That's great?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Interesting And none of them is purple, so there was
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: a mistake on the Craola company's part, pink, green, and blue,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: and then they went, let's do this great.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I love these. I when people complain about floss, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: have to stop myself from I've floss with these three
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: four times a day, a day.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: After each meal. See what's happening.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a couple of crevices that are like
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: they really they every something gets stuck every.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Time, just a biological flaw on your teeth.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got it. The dentist and one week, one
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: time we filled it up and it still became a problem.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Does the dentist get after you for flossing even though
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you floss.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: No, the floss they seem to be good with. They
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: say more frustrating that I brush too hard. You're not
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: in you're electric toothbrush. I do, but I still put
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: shit too much. Oh boy, And that's one of those
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: frustrating You're like, come on, I'm brushing, brushing too hard. Well,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I know I have one receiving gum, and I asked them.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I said, like they say, it doesn't grow back, And
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: you go, what a flaw on art designs part. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: much of us grows back so much lizards their tail,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: it grows back.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I can get a whole new one.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: And this one piece of gum. And then it's it's
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: funny where you try to like tell your your doctors,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: like to be like just so you know I'm on camera,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: You're trying to like instill on them like this is
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: really important.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: What the brushing heart is important, That my face.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: That my gum, that my smile, like this has to
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: be top notch.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: You're known for your gum.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: It's my job to smile right. So they told me
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: about the grafting process. It does not horrify the Oh
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: it's and they said, just you know that this is
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: where I brought it up. They said, well, we'd have
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: to take it from here in the color would be different.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, that can't not be. No,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: that has the same because I'm on TV.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: And so on.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Does the does the gum come from your own mouth
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: or a dead mouth?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Well, they said you're this is where they said, your
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: own mouth, and that's why the color would be different
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: because it's a different part of the mouth. And then
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I said, well then we will have to go with
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: uh dead, or I will pay if we need to
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: get someone new. I don't know if when you do
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: organ donation it's like donating to an actor. Yes, a
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: gum for like they have to be above this level
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: an IMDb meter. They can have my gums right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: My fingernails to a manicure as the sort of thing. Well,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: that's what part of your mouth is so gummy that
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: they're able to just harvest it for the rest of
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: your mouth. I don't understand. What's I feel like there's
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: none there. It's so tight.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: It's but that's why I think they take it. I mean,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I don't I'm not a medical professional. If that's not clear.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: They seem to say, like from the side or from
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: the top of the mouth that I'm like, is that
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: is that gum gum? Really just where it's located.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But it's just mouth, right, why not just take it
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: from the back of my arm at that point?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Oh that sounds horrifying.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's they said, it's it's painful. You can't.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds brutal for like this very small.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Right, And I feel like I'm headed in this direction
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: as well, receding gum lines. But I feel like everyone is.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: And I feel like dentists sometimes are a little too careful.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: They're a little too cautious, and so they go overboard.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: So I've got to really have a problem before they're
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: going to do surgery on my mouth.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you'll feel it. I mean, they're just like
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: that upper part of the teeth feeling of just like, ah.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Oh you feel the sensitivity there. Yeah, sometimes now and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: then oh no, oh that sounds how.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Can I not grow back? Truly, it's one of those
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: knowing to be mad at wish I was more religious,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: so I could go to a church and I guess,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: look at Jesus on the cross and go, why why.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in pain me too, great gums on him.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: But to me, this was like one of the things
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: that they need to start growing on the back of mice.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You know, they'll put an have an ear growing out
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: of a mouse or whatever they've had too good for
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: too long. Yeah, we've got to have gum, gum, skin
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: or flesh on the back of mice. That's a good im.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like they must be able to take gum
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: out of a pig.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting, interesting, Yeah, it feels like they're not thinking
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: hard enough.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: If they can, if they can give you the heart
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: of a pig, certainly, I mean, come on, come on,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: what are the pigs doing with their gums?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: When did you start like get getting serious about flossing?
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Honestly, like these these were a game changer for me.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I like the foss it's a it's I have like
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: a little adhd. I I was definitely like as a kid,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I I went through sucking faces. I was. I was
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: a necklace.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Oh I did.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: The necklace would sometimes have like little like kind of
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: slight rashes here the worst, the grossest. For a while,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I was a shirt and just.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Like didn't do the shirt. I would do the hoodie string.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Hoodie string, for sure, Yeah, for sure.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: But the shirt, that's a tough one.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: It's gross.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: How old were you when that was happening?
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: My middle school? Then in high school? And then the
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: stains were at a different place. And I did pens
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: pens constantly. Yeah, a couple back, the little the little
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: round thing would pop off and I swallowed maybe two
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: in my life. That's what.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't chewed on a pen in a long time.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: That's a good chewing tool. Yeah me neither gen Z
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't know what it is to chew on a pen.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I am brutal and like people will lend me a
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: pen and within seconds it's in my mouth and I've
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: completely forgotten this is someone else's pen pencils I did
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: for a little. I remember the time when it would
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: be like like maybe I got a splinter in my
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: mouth just like I was chewing it. Oh my god,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: getting probably lead, no, like just the middle.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Like, oh it's crazy, that's very beaver.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Never a thumbsucker. My sister was a thumbsucker. They
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: had to get the nail.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Polish, like the bitter nail polish. Yeah, she sucked with
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: them for a while until when.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I mean feeling like seven eight. It was it was, it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Was apparent just a parent. You're like, I don't know
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: what to do here. I guess we're going to have
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to punish her with poison.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much I would do. I would try a pacifier.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I'm a chure like I do gum. I go through
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: phase where I save myself like Jamarco, you need to
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: take a break from gum because my jaw starts clicking
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: and you're like this, this isn't gud.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Are you chewing multiple pieces?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I mean the high school went through phase
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: where I would do like I do the whole fruit,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: by the what is it for fruit? By the no
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: bubble tape, bubble tape, Like I have six feet of
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: gum in my mouth, and I will definitely if again
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: in orbits like I'm going I'll add that third pretty quick.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I for a long time it was only
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: a half apiece. Half You take me, my God, to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: get through one pa integrate that in seconds. I was
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: split again a half. I thought, this is plenty of
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: gum for me now, I'm you know, the little chick
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: lit size pop one of those in I can't imagine
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: having two pieces of gum in my mouth.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I don't do it often, but sometimes, if the steaks
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: are really low for a gig and I'm filling cocky,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I'll go up there chewing gum and it feels cool.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: It feels it feels like badass.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: That may feel cool for you as an audience member.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: You're losing me.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: For you, for sure. I can tell you got some standards.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: I can tell you got some standards.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: There are some people who will go on late night
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: shows chewing gum or interviews and all just pointed out
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Michael Keaton, if you ever watched an interview with this
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: man constantly chewing gum?
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Such an irritating.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Look some people bothers. I get it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: It's like it calms me. If definitely I was nervous
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: for like a talk show thing, gum chewing would absolutely
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: like make me looser.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: It's a bit of a fidget spinner, yes, hidden fidget spinner.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I like even when I'm when I try
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to act, I go back to trying to at Oh,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: give yourself but like my tension, like it's like, what
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: is my tongue I'm doing right now? Why am I?
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Why am I thinking about the interior of sing Yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: you feel your whole skull basically, and gum lets it,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: you know, just chewing. Yeah, just barbostize. Any audition for
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Funny Girl famously, she she was chewing gum and they
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: the cast directors were like you, oh my god, what
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: is this? What is this vile creature? And then at
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: the end of the audition took it out put under
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the chair. They went over. There was no gum under
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the chair. She was acting the whole Wow.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: She's that good. She's that she can trick. Someone picks
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: my nose and you're like, god, this kind of goes
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: no Bookers, He's only disgusting in my imagination. Basically, I
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: was swallowing each piece of gum I chewed four years
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and I've recently stopped that.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: But I feel like.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: If it's half a piece, that's that's a little yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: maybe less.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: There is the thing where I'm like, I don't and
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: sometimes I don't have the rapper and I put it
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: down on something and then it's like a disasters then
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I can swallow this, right, you can?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: You can?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I think you absolutely? Why is that there's a myth
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the whole seven year thing that's blow blooney?
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: But like, is it bad for any reason at all? No?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, who I improve that? I mean
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of problems, But I don't think
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: it has anything to do with chewing gum or swallowing gum.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I think it just passes through like any other thing.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: You could swallow a nail, Yeah, that might be slightly
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: more difficult. The thing you can't swallow is two magnets.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Those will go through your intestine and then stick to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: each other and forget it. I don't know how you
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: do you forget it?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: You die?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They're clamped together and you're intestine.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: How did he die?
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Can you swallow two fridge megnots?
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I have to look this up.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that chewing, chewing, and swallowing gum, I
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: think we would solve a lot of problems. You know,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: there'd be less under the table.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: One old one like thing where people go if you
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: are cold, That doesn't lead to more cold, It doesn't
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: lead to you getting a colt, right, and that one,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: no one seems to believe.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: My boyfriend. Yeah, it's a constant finds like you're simply
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: not going to get more of a cold or get
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a cold because of your body temperature.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I think, like, I think what happens is if someone's
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: cold and then you're warm, your body like creates mucus
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: and so you feel what you would associate with cults.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: And because you just had a visceral ruppeture change, But
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: that does not lead to you getting a cold later.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Right, because it's a virus, does it make your body
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: more vulnerable and then it can't fight the virus. That's
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: the only logic I could get to.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just an old life's tale.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but people, it's it's that I honestly think, like
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: some of those things. When I think about like medicine
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: and misinformation, I go, it's connected to small things. I
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: believe that, like if we cannot establish that drinking a
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: lot of vitamin C doesn't cure you, or that being
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: cold because it's the same word as cold, doesn't mean
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: there's the same If we can't do that, good luck
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: with vaccines. Good luck.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like trying to convince people. Yeah, yeah, what a
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: good point.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I do think. I mean all I think people got
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: bitter of like, you know, a red wine is good
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: for you. I still have that. And it was one
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: study and it was debunked.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Once a year, we're getting that study. Same with dark chocolate.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Mmmm.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And it's like, let's just make up our minds on this.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Or maybe it's just not important enough to keep putting
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: in the news yause it's confusing.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Eggs good. Yeah, that's part of the is the news.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: They have to summon up and they go, eggs good
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: for you, eggs bad for you?
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Right, And it's like there's no gray area.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I go to my doctor and they go, hey,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: we don't really know, but it's probably not bad. The
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: way these doctors talk sometimes I'm like you go like,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: oh you go, oh yeah, it is a man made system, right, it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Is okay, you're a part and you might be bad
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: at your job.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's just like it's not a consensus. It's
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: kind of the thought.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I think we should try this croissant here. Do you
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: want to try some of it?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, you take some first. Actually you're the guest here,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: it's beautiful.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: It is beautiful. I mean, god, croissants, Oh the crunch God,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: it just sounds amazing.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: This is a beautiful. Oh it's green inside as well.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: This is a real Macha croissant. I've never had a
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Macha croissant.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know if I have either. Man, it
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: looks good.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh my lord, look at that.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Hm that's good.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Oh that's phenomenal.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: That's really good.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so good. That's like an immediately flavorful but
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: not overpowering wow. And a good chew, really good chew.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: You have a favorite bakery in New.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: York, No, I need to get one. I I was
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: like overly like healthy in a weird way where eat
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: a lot, but I would eat and I also would
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: eat like so many raw almonds. And my girlfriend was like,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: do you understand these have a lot of calories? And
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I was like what? And that looks up. I was like,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I could have been having Chris Hans this whole time. Yeah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: So then I do interim into fasting now. And what
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I like about it is it's for me. It's opened
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: up eating things that I didn't for a long time.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: So like I have desserts, oh, I was like I
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: was not having desserts like period.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just it was just a neurotic thing.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: And now with the interimin fasting, I'm like, it just
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: opened up permission in my own self right. And I
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: live the crazy travel life, so it keeps me right.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: You don't have a consistent like you don't know where
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: you're going to be eating, what you'll be eating. Yeah,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: maybe room service, this kind of thing. So how often
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: are you fasting?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: And how I do it? Pretty consistent? I do? I
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: do sixteen off eight on sixteen eight oh every day. Yeah,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: and then I'm trying to be more a little bit
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: more like could I break it once a week and
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: feel okay.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: It's slippery slope.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: So when do you start eating in the day? It
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: depends usually eight hours As long as it's eight hours.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I I lean towards all fast longer
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: then if if I'm you know, when I travel with
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: time difference. Yeah, And I know this was some people
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: just they hear it and they go, oh, you have
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: You're describing your eating disorder. For us, it's like, yeah, sure,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: all eatings, it's it's all.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I kind of like we're all disordered and disorder.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I'm in la where I guess probably here it's like, yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: that's a rate you eat for an eight hour window.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Mine.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: So it's usually based on the show, right, I like
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: to have my last meal like before the show.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I think that's smart.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: And so so if my show's tonight is at seven thirty,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: so I would start at eleven thirty and that's and
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: then you know, sometimes if I'm going to have a
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: big I started it because I was in Australia, Okay.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: I had a promoter bringing me to these meals, right,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: like the best meals you could have in Australia, and
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, I want to pick out, but I
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: don't want to come back from Australia feeling like I
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: need to catch up. I hate that feeling, right, And
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: so I just I started doing it, and everything it
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: was so much better. God, I really, I really worked
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: What were you eating in Australia that was so wonderful?
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: It was everywhere has a wonderful food. It's just whether
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: someone's paying for it.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Right, And when someone's paying for food, I mean it's.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: People say New York's the best food city. I'm like really,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: and it's like, yeah, because I when I'm here, I'm
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: here Monday through Thursday. I'm not going out to a
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: fancy dinner, right, And then you do and you're like,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, people think New York is one of the best.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just not going right.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can almost any major city. You could
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: probably make an argument that it's one of the best
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: at this point, if you're willing to pay for it.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I like Los Angeles because I think they have more
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: middle healthy places. Oh absolutely, more than anywhere else in
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the country. I think if you go to like Paris,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: oh my god, there's more healthy options. But in New
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: York it's like it's sweet green and then there's nothing
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: in the middle. There zero. Absolutely LA will have like
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: oh wow, this is like, you know, it's not the
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: cheapest launch, but not the crazy right. I like Goop.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Oh people.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I finally tried the Group Kitchen recently.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I like Goo.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I have to say it was pretty good.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I was way better than a Sweet Green salad.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, are you kidding me? The kale at
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Sweet Green, I complained about this all the time, is
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the driest food on earth that will choke you.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: It used to be good though, because I I've been
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: with Sweet Greens since the beginning, because it started in DC.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: It was a yogurt chop. Originally what salads. I'm ninety
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: nine percent sure salads is like a side thing. And
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: then that took over.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: They called a yogurt shop Sweet Green.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: I think so maybe it was Machi Yoga, who the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: fuck knows. But then I was in Philly and like
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: it opened, like the first one in Philly, and this
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: is when it was like they had seasonal crispy kale
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: and it was like the bulls are huge and the
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: greens were fresh and I and then I remember the
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: first one in New York and now it's all over
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: near and I've I've watched the decline.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Of course, I've watched it last time.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Really, I think about all the places I've watched the
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: decline of in my life. And I remember when the
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: bowl suddenly there's these indents in the bowl and I
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: was like, there's less bowl.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: That's a really sneaky movie on their part, the dimples.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: And they I think I I think I wrote them
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: on Instagram and they said the bull is the same.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: I said, I remember when they would have a water
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: station with ice, beautiful little ice cubes, and they get
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: rid of that, and then it's just one. It's one
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: of those, just one little thing.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Oh is it the one with the little blue thing
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: that you push back?
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I hate those ones.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: They're awful. The temperature is awful, it's no ice. What
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: do you do? You got to mind? I mean, this
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: is just capitalism, and you just watch everything gets so
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: so bad. The door dash is so bad. I think
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: of the door dash. If you request utensils and they
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: don't deliver utensils, it's free. I because what do you
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: want me to do? What do you listen? If I'm
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: at home, of course I'll use my own suffer. If
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: i'm sometimes I get it and I go, what do
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: you want me to do?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Do you want to eat it like a dance dude?
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: And then I got to go somewhere else and go
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: can I have Can I take a plastic fork? I'm
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: not giving you any money. You don't know me. Everyone
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: has needs. Can I take something from you?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: It would have to be a super a curry for
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: me to seek out. If if it was a salad,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I would just do hands, just say forget it. I'm
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: eating with my hands tonight, and I wouldn't complain. You
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: eat this out with your hands, Absolutely nothing stopping me
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: from eating a salad.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Do you put dressing on it?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that's a good, good question. I would have
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: to dip. I'd have to turn it into dipping a
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: salad piece pie piece. It hasn't come to that yet.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not a heavy heavy dressing person anyway, me neither.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: So I can see myself creating kind of a little
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: bouquet of lettuce and then dipping eating. You know, sure
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: times are tough. They don't give you the fork, But
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: how am I supposed to do? Find like a big
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: ladle in the kitchen? Maybe use a soup ladle to
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: eat it?
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I love eating with my hands. I love eating with
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: my hands more. Oh it's it feels you're closer to
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: your taste better, tastes better. I mean, you see me
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: with the rotisserie chicken, Mike girlfriend and I we have
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: a similar You seem mannered.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: You know my my favorite musical, Hello Dolly. But but
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: some people would wouldn't dare eat a thing with their hands,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: And that's give me a break. Grow up or like babysitter,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: growing up was was Filipino, and she would we eat
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of rice, okay, And my sister was very
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: picky eater, and I just remember she'd pick up this
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: rice with her hands and just stuff it into my
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: sister's mouth. And I just think that that's how I
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: view food. I'm just like, yeah, hands, of course, of course,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: of course, especially.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: If it's sticky rice. Sticky rice, I think that you
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: almost want to eat that with your hands. So yeah,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I can see myself eating a lot of rice with
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: my hand.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: What I do is I like to slurp a bowl.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my dream. I watch a lot of manga an
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: anime growing up, and my dream is you take the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: chops that you go and I'm going to Japan for
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: the first time. It's for a slurper. Oh, I'm going
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: to go to town. But like people don't slurp. And
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: then you're taking these spoons and you're going, all right,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: take away the soup. We wasted soup.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: No, I will within the United States, I will silently slurp.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: You go to Japan, you're supposed to, so they want
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: to hear the slurp.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited. Just prepare yourself.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with the noodles you can just yeah. Oh, it's fantastic. Yeah,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: it's how it's meant to be eaten.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: When I get too many noodles in my mouth from
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: a ramen or a soup and I'm here in the
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: United States, it's a nightmare situation for me. I'm like,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: who's looking at me? When do I start chewing this?
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: So it falls back into the bowl. I don't know
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: what to do. Yes, but go over to Japan, go crazy.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: You probably wouldn't even eat chopsticks, just slurp away.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Oh that sounds like when are you going? I believe
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: at the end of this at the end of this year,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna do a tour
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: amazing of Asia, first time in Asia. Okay, so I'm
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: going to do some shows in Tokyo and Singapore, Hong Kong, fantastic.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Singapore have to submit a transcript amazing. See, the country
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: is very strict. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. I've i
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: it's the whole thing I'm there for, like the adventure
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: of it. And uh, I'm not being paid by the
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Singaporean government, so it is It's not the same as
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: doing Saudi Arabia right in my opinion.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Well, in Singapore doesn't have a lot of human rights abuse.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Y's definitely definitely different. But I'm sure it's just one
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: of those things. It's just like any country you go to,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: you go like it's new.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: What's the problem at this country?
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I went to I went to Istanbul, and it's
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: just wild because Istanbul, as far as they were telling me,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: is like this like more liberal area in Turkey, for example.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: They told me, they said, you can say anything on stage.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: And then they said, just you know, there's going to
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: be a Muslim called a prayer at the second show.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: And they said, but you say whatever you want in
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: the middle of the show, by the way, and not
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: like a quick like hey muzzle prayer, thanks guys, like
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: like five minutes, okay, sure, sure, And they said, and
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: you can, you know, joke about it, and I was like, oh,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I was like I can. I can joke about it
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: in any way, and he's like, in any way you want.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: And I did what I did.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Of course, there's a part in the middle of my
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: stand up comedy set and I went hard and then
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: it was it was fun and everyone in the room
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: it was it was clear, you know, I'm reading the room.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: Then I send them. I'm like, hey, I'm going to
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: post this video if you want to collab on it
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: or whatever. And he was like, do not post that
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: video too far. He's like you you, He's like, you
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: can do it in Istanbul, but if that video goes
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: outside and other parts of tricky you you could get in,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: you know, to get trouble different and not come back.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Varying levels of religion and.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just like everything has its own everyone's
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: got the system. And you know, there's a part of
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: me that wants Singapore to go do it. You can't
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: do this set. There's a part of me that wants
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: to do a joke there. And my girlfriend goes, please don't.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: And I also go like, if I get in trouble
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: in another government, Trump is not helping me right right
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: when we got.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: To when we got a you would be a it
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: would be a tough one to convince him. Oh, you'd
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: have to wait to a new administration.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: And I have to be willing to go on TV
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, put on the how we need to
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: make America laugh again?
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: And what a career turn that would be?
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: It would it? Would be tough traveling with the speed
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: which I do. Sometimes you go like more thought should
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: be going into this. But I remember in Amsterdam, I
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: was like talking to my girlfriend about how beautiful Amsidom was,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I was like, maybe maybe we
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: maybe we could just move, we give upon our whole life.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Move here. I'm talking to her about a beautiful and
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: three people as I'm just talking regularly to my girlfriend,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: they're like, sh you're talking too loud, and I I
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: I filled with rage, filled with a New Yorker rage,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: like fuck you. And it happened. It happened there, it
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: happened in Germany, and then it gets to Greece. Doesn't
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: happen there, And I go, yeah, it's it's I'm not
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: you found some people for Amsterdam is the way it
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: is because I'm not there right right.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Amsterdam doesn't strike me as a quiet country. Yeah I don't.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's Quaine and it's beautiful and serene,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: and so you know, I'm good. I just allowed talker.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: My dream country.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Oh you gotta go, you know, no, Oh, it's it's stunning.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: It might be for me, but my girlfriend I we
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: were loud Jews and we and she sometimes she was
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: at a nail salon and like someone came over, like
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: you're talking too loud, and it it hurt her feelings
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: all because it's it's uh, it hurts for someone to
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: be like the way you are is.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Right, right, your personality is bad?
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I nothing could make me upset more than
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: when I see someone say that, like, hey, could you
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: talk a little.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Softer unless you're in a library.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Unless you're in a library, sure.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Or another country. I feel like in another country, it's like, well,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: this is the predominant culture.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, get with it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen to nail salon. What are you talking about?
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Listen, I'm not a model of being like you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just loud. I'm not going to be a dick
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: about it. No, you're a perfectly nice person down the
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: street and I'm a little loud. Wait three seconds, I'll
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: be gone if I'm in motion, No need to make
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: me feel bad. The thing has already happened.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need to chase me down to give
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: me a note. Yeah, if you're standing behind someone trying
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: to read a book, that's a different story.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: And listen this why but this why I'm in New York.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: You're with her around a lot of people getting shipped
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: done in a time crunch. Yes, yes, and so there's
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: more room for that. Like I was, like I was.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I was in a coffee shop. What thirty minutes, I
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: was editing a comedy special news do here, and the
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: WiFi was bad and and so you know, in the
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: midst of that, when someone behind me at the coffee
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: shop goes, can you talk a little softer? I go,
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: get me the fuck out of this weird fucking country.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: I need to go back to New York. I got
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: shited to do. And that's why I guess not a
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: lot of great comedy specials coming out of the Netherlands.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: And again that's the train off. Very good, that's the
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: train off. What about on a plane?
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: A plane, I'm pretty I'm not loud, okay, you know, like,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: but listen, I have my lines too. People are playing
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: videos with no headphones.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: It's a tough pill to swallow.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: It was great. There was There was one time on
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: a plane where this older guy he just didn't know
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: his headphones weren't connected. So he had his headphones, but
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: he's playing this music full volume and I and I said,
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: as her because you know it's not working, and it was.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: He was sweet about him.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Oh that's nice.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I think I'm decent on planes, but I'm taking my
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: shoes off.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I take my shoes off.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like as long as you are a clean
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: person who has showered within the last forty eight hours, yeah,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: it's okay to take your shoes off. You're on an
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable thing. You've got to do everything you possibly can
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: to find some level.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Of You've got to turn your eye to the planes.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, they turn us against each other.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: This is how the whole country is at this point.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: That got us fighting with each other than with the plane.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: My thing with planes, I think we should lie out
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: and that's that's all. I mean. You pay a god
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: forsaken amount of money for first class. Just I don't
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: need it. Don't need warm nuts and a little bowl.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: That's not what it's for. It's simply so I can
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: be horizontal. If they stacked us, well, they could get
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: more people in the plane. They stack us. You know,
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: it's a pain to get in to get out, but
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: like stack me. You could put a TV over me
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: or nothing. I'll just sleepy, just lie me.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Down my ultimate dream, and it feels like, why not,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: let's at least give one plane a tribe where we're
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: just absolutely stacked in there.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: If bathroom's an issue, put put it there. Put it,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I open it.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I guess the bathroom is the one.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Put a hole. Put a hole, put my dick in.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Provide a catheter, please.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of flights I'd much rather put in
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: a catheter. Right.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: They give you the little bag to throw up in, yeah,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: replace that with.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: I remember when. I don't see them that much anymore,
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: but I remember when, like as a kid, they were there.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah every time.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Because I guess there was just more turbulence, it happened
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: more often.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I feel like turbulence has gotten out of control. Really,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Every time I'm on a plane, I'm like, well,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: this is the fin I better listen to a song.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I like, because I'm done.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: That's that's your fine, that's how you use.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I'll just kind of be like, Okay, well the plane's
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: going down, let's enjoy this.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: I think in my mind, I go, it's a shame
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: I can't jerk off like for the final I think,
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: honestly knowing me Let's say I was on a plane alone,
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: and it was like appropriate because we're as I'm about
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: to die and my death, we're thinking about, you know,
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to inconvenience any God to death.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: God forbid that plane right itself, and I go, oh God,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: I masturbated in front of the whole plane. But knowing me,
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: if I was on a plane alone, I was going down,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I would be so crippled by the like would I
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: be able to get it done in time? That I
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: would die mid thinking about should I masturbates? That's how
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: I would die.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: For at least you're distracted, you know with.
• 54:05

  Speaker 3: his hand is on his deck, mortifying in the ashes,
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: mortifying because you want to know did he finish?
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Did he make it there?
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Did he finish? And I think that's what archaeologist should
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: be looking into. Yes, because I God, you hope, so.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: We've got the DNA tests, we can figure that out.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: But you also think, like it's got to be, it's
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: gotta be tough to like get one off, and it's
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: like as you see lava lava. Just if you hear
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: the screaming, you feel the heat, yeah, smoke, maybe the heat.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe the heat's nice. Oh interesting, Maybe it's one of
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: those things like actually, the best way is what the
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: laugh is coming towards you. Hopefully, Hopefully for that guy,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: one could only hope.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I hope that was his last bit of enjoyment as

  Speaker 2: he was absolutely can turned.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: To ask what better way?
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: What else to Well, I'm want to try flossing. It's
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: not appropriate to do. I've been I've been holding because
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I've been like, I can't fluster by mind, we're going
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: to floss on camera here. I know some people have
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: a problem with people flossing in public. I don't see
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: the big deal as long as things aren't flying.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well this helps fly. The other thing you.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Do is this great?
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Do you have these at home or do you use
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: a I use a string. I prefer because these break
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: pretty easily. Okay, when you do the string, do you
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: move the string for each two? Okay? Like meat?
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Either I just use whatever? What are you come on?
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Some people, it's like a little factory line. Okay, Ah,
• 55:46

  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I got the whole mouth.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: When you get a piece, do you go? Do you
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: eat it? No?
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: This is not a what are you talking about? I'm
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: not looking for something to eat here. If I accidentally swallow, sure,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: go for it.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: So did the inter manfesting. And then when I'm not
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: in the eating window, I floss and I go does
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: that count? Oh?
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: There we go?
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: That count? I think that was over the five calorie.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And you don't have an eating disorder? Okay. Now I'm
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: gonna drink a little water. I feel so clean. Yeah, wow,

• 56:46
  Speaker 2: whatever you want and I'll be right back.

  Speaker 2: going to name three things and then you're going to
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: tell me if there are a gift or a curse
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: and why. I'll tell if you're right or wrong, because
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: there are correct answers right right. This first one is
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: from a listener named Lauren. Gift or a Curse website
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: pop ups that ask if you want fifteen percent off,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: and the only other option is no thanks, I'll pay
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: full price.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Curse why. I hate that smarmy, that feeling of you're

• 57:46
  Speaker 3: want an option, I want no thanks, I'll pay a
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: full price, and then fuck you. I'd not even I
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: didn't even read what it was. And tell whoever designed
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: this they wasted their life. That's what I need. I
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: hate that. I hate that language thing. I hate it.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: No thanks, I don't want to save money that Oh
• 58:05

• 58:15
  Speaker 2: No thank you. I'm scum. Yeah, yeah, correct, curse. I mean,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: for so many reasons. The passive aggression here is so
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: don't yeah, don't make me the bad guy here. Also,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: we don't need everything to have copywriting involved, simple yes
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: or no.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Who is persuaded by that? Who goes to like, well,
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want to pay full price, okay, final filter
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: fucking form.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not the guy who pays full price.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: And you know who it is. You know who it is.
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: It's old people. There are certain abuses where I go this.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: It's not working on us. It's working on people who
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: are old and frail and are being abused and we
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: should be angrier about it.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, because they're not Internet natives.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: I got a spam phone call once, and you're the
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: guy he's he said, Grandma, is that you It's me Mark,
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: I need some money. And I was like, you are
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: I'm not falling for this. The person who's falling for
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: this is has dementia.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, has something, I mean what a vial?
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: And I went, I went mok, Muke said you I
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: was gonna fuck with him and here that I can die.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: You're faking And he hung up the phone and I
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: was like, I went to college for musical.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Theater and honestly, good for him, good for him for
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: you know calling.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: It good for him, good for him?
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: All right, you've gotten one right so far. The second
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: one is from a listener named Melinda Gift a curse
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Coca Cola freestyle machines. Are you familiar with these?
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: I am? I am? I mean listen. I grew up
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: definitely where they went pretty crazy with the die Coke
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: lime cans and the die Coke lemon. I remember when
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: those were like common. And I've been overseas in Europe.
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: Die Coke Lime was there and it was good. I
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: love die Coke. I just think these machines, the few
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: times I participate in them, it just feels syrup. It
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: feels syrup. It doesn't feel like it's great. I love
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: that people get their options, but I would way rather
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: have a fountain machine that gives me a solid diet coke,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: like just to killer diet coke then than all the
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: options and they all suck. So I'm gonna go curse.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: The way that you and I are on the same
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: page about this is historically it's a curse. Oh my god,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: these things. I mean, first of all, what a failure
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: in engineering, this massive refrigerator size machine that serves one
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: person at a time. The soda is not as good,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: all of these flavors that you try every one of them,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, actually I just want the regular flavor.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just give me.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: And in an age when these regular soda fountains are
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: becoming extinct, yes, we should be putting all of our
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: energy and resources and getting those back into restaurants. Yes,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: just pulling up and getting a diet coke that is
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: accurately mixed.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: And by the way, you know, you know they're data collecting,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: oh my god, aci recognition. No, but but also they're
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: going which ooh, everyone's ordering raspberry diet coke more and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: more people. Now we're going to put that in a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: can you are literally the rats in the lab testing
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: all the shitty mixes, and then they're going to take
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: that data and get something else and.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: They use you.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: And it's like as opposed to, Hey, why don't you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: figure out what's good? And when you charge me money,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: you give me a good thing. That's why I paid
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: you to figure it out. If you said, hey, free,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: free machine over here, we're taking some samples. We'd like
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: to learn some stuff. Have as much as you want. Great,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: do not charge me and use me for data.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're kind of unwittingly participating in a survey.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: You know there's no way they're not.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's why it's a computer. Wow where you
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: found I mean you've deep, You've really uncovered something deep here. Okay,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: so you've gotten two right so far. Finally, this is
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: from a listener named web gif. You a curse turning
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: off auto capitalization on your phone?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Turning off help me understand turning it?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: So?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I believe? So then everything you text or write is lowercase.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: Oh oof. This is a tough one. Ultimately, I don't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: I would not do that. I would not do that
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: because while there's certain contexts I think like Twitter grammar
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: is so fascinating. I've never been great at grammar per se,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: but I think it's so interesting that they're like Twitter
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: introduced like a different vibe and like I'll see like
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: you don't YABOOKI young white?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Like when I was starting Twitter, he had already mastered
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: it and moved on and I'd see him right. I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: was like, you know, things I can't even compar have
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: the way that you artistically engage with this. I don't
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: get it, but you got We're still we gotta caps,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: we gotta caps. I'm gonna say I'm glad that you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: have the option. I guess so. I don't know if
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: that makes it a blessing, but no, I don't. I
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: don't want that. I wouldn't. I would never choose to
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: have that thing. I need it. I'm starting sentences. I
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: can tell me your tone.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: You disagree, you're saying curse.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: That it exists, or that it's a curse.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: Wow, you've really almost you overthought it too much.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: And I was watching you walk up to the cliffs.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you have I overthought it.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: I said, I have to speak my truth. Yes, any
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: day I couldn't lie.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: What a lesson for everyone to learn today. Yes, just
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: be honest with yourself and everyone else. No, I think
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: that to me, this is like some attempt at looking
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: like you're very laid back and relaxed, but it's false
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: because you had to get into all of the settings
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: to turn that off. So every time I see that,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: I think about you getting clicking on settings, going into general,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: finding keyboard, turning this off. That's not laid back. That's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: not a relaxed vibe. That's someone who's overthinking how they're seen.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: And also this whole Twitter thing, you know, I feel
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: like I get your point there, Like I think we
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: kind of did away with punctuation on Twitter. I think
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: that's as far as we need to go.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm texting using my computer, sure, lowercase
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: it's more like texting or like g chat, the golden
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: days of g Chat. But if I'm on my phone,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: you're going to see a capitalized letter. Yeah.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I see tweets as like poetry. Sure, but we
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: need that, We need a baseline to communicate with information
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: that's important.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, And on the opposite end of that is the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: and I think this trend is finally dying. Is musicians
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: doing all caps song titles. I think we're done with that.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: That trend has run its course. Yeah you see that
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: now and you're like, oh, you've You're not Beyonce. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: you know. Let's let's just get back to normal normal capitalization.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: I so much thinking about capitalizing. Just do it the
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: regular way. Whatever. Well, you won the game. That's an amazing,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: very short list of people. Okay, now we need to
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: answer a listener question people are writing into I said,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: no gifts at gmail dot com or sending voice notes.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: If you send a voice note, it needs to be
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: in a quiet place and sixty seconds long. Follow rules. Okay,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: let's answer a question.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: Hi, Bridger and friends. I have a question for how
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: you would react in a certain situation. So yesterday I
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: was at the grocery store, a very large grocery store.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: I live in the same city that I grew up in,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: and I happened to see not one, but two people
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: that I knew from growing up. The first person was
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: someone from middle school. Her kids were yelling at her,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: and I acted like I didn't see her, which felt
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: like the right thing to do in that second because
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: she seemed really stressed out. But then the second person
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: I saw, I knew him in high school. He was
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: over by the yogurts and I was trying to get
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: a lot of faya with honey and I didn't really
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: want him to comment on how many faye's with honey
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: I was getting. I pretended like I didn't see him.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: Then I saw him by the half and half. Then
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: I saw him by the eggs, and we were sort
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: of on the same route around the store, and I
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: kept ignoring him. I kept pretending like I didn't see him.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: This was my best friend's next door neighbor. I borrowed
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: a tenacious d VHS from him that he had taped
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: off of HBO and never returned it. I knew this
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: person well, and I pretended like I didn't see him,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: and honestly, he didn't say hi either, And I.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Feel really weird about it.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: How do you handle bumping into someone from your deep
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: past that you don't want to talk to? And now
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh do we do? I just not know
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: him now when I see him out in the world,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: we just ignore each other.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: It feels weird, Okay, I love you, Bye.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: I mean this feels like a fi A with honey
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: add like a secret this is the yogurt.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's a brand f A g E.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: It's like a white lid, I think, so I never
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: had I think I see it and I'm not a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: honey person, so I wouldn't eat that. Sure, So that's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: my The alarm bells are going off. Is this part
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: of them FI a marketing team?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but we have to put that aside. This
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: is a This is a situation when you go to
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: your hometown and you go to the grocery store. It
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: is kind of like going to a haunted house because
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: you do not know who's going to be around the corner.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about the situation.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: I think that the promise like you you, Silence is
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: always weird. Silence is weird. You you You're brain's pinging.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: You know their brain's pinging. You got to do something.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: And the bottom line is like, if you're never gonna
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: you're not gonna be there for another year or whatever,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: then fine, have an awkward moment you leave. If you're
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: gonna be there and see them multiple times, you got
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: and I think you gotta lean towards you got to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: give a nod. You're risking the conversation. You're risking the conversation,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: and you could have an escape plan. Oh, the yogurt's
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: gonna go back quick, I gotta check out. But gradually,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: if you are, if you slightly rude enough, you can
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: you can get it to a nod. I feel this
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: with Ubers. I feel like it feels it feels very classes.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: It's hard to talk about because you sound like an
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: ass role, but like sometimes you're in a forty minute
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: drive and you go work. You got shit, you gotta
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: get done. I'm editing that comedy special still and the
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: gradual tapering off of answers to yes, And that's that's
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: the road you gotta take. And ultimately, I don't think
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: you're ever gonna get to a point where you never
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: say anything, but you just establish it's a nod, right
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: not and leave right not and leave well.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: And I feel like she's making a big assumption here
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: that he wasn't ignoring her. Yeah, maybe she's the ignored.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Also, how big is this dairy section? If yogurt half
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: and half and some other dairy products.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: A lot of things to be next to I can't
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: believe you stayed next to them that whole time. Even
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: if it was a stranger, I'd be like, what.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Do Yeah, of course you'll have to say something wow, yeah,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: because it has an outank.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: God for cows something something three times?
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Is she afraid that she's gonna want the VHS back?
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: How important is the VHS?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: I I did want someone who let me a UCB
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: Season one box set the uc before and like twelve
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: years later I happened to see them as a thing.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: And then after that they texted me and listen, this
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: is on me. I didn't give it back and he
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: chose their like, hey you still got that?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Whoa?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: And I I was like, brother, I will buy it
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: off right now. I will. But it was like it
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: was yeah, so some people still but are recording over
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: a thing.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you can find that at a good will.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: But it's in your head. Say oh you see them
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: go oh my god, I just remembered. Oh I'm not
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: sure where it is. Do you want to buy it
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry the person after twelve years. If you lend
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: somebody something and don't ask for it after two years,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: it now belongs to them yes, give me a break.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: My only thought is that maybe he does want it,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: because if I'm at a grocery store and it's a woman,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: I don't want to speak to her. I don't know
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: if I happen by accident to follow her two different places.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: I'm usually I'm going I'm gonna go get my crackers
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: now because I'm scary. I'm feeling scary. I'm feeling scary
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: in the cold of the milk the milk aisle. So
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: maybe he's thinking, maybe he's just like you gonna say
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: something if you hear him humming and it's like a tenacious.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: Oh now there's a big hat way to song. You
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: got to take the bait on that situation. It's like, Okay,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going home now, I will get the VHS. It's
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: an mom's attic.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: But you want to establish nods. I have a lot
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: of people where like you've just established you nod if
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: you're if you in the neighborhood with someone and you
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: really don't want to be the friend, but you know there,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: you know them.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: You have to acknowledge another human beings exists. Come on
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: common decency. Yeah, and this woman has not. You know
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: she hasn't practiced any of that. In the grocery store,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: she's ignored two dear friends.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what what do you We can't talk to someone
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: at the grocery store. You're busy.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: What's going on? She's so focused on the yogurt.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: I'm listening. I'm more like a podcast. I'm listening to things.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: And so it's just like, oh, Ice, and I wish
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: I had bigger headphones. That's people don't respect to your pod, right,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: they don't.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: They don't care what's going on.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: Then I will try to This is how I like,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: click it and go hi. And I'm like, I need suck.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: I need a helmet. I need a helmet.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: I do a before taking it out, I do even
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: if I heard what they said, I'm sorry, what did
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: you say? Then I take it out. Then it's it's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: crystal clear that there is audio going into my ears.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: There's something plugging my ear, and now you've ruined my day.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: Uh huh uh huh.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: So maybe if she's so worried, get some giant headphones.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, put on a pair of sunglasses so theyhones.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we answered the question perfectly. I mean, if you
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: can't complain.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: You can't complain. You'll get there, you got to, You'll
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: get the nod. You risk a small conversation, but it
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: sounds like you got the skills to be rude enough
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: to curb that conversation.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I've got this beautiful croissant to finish, and I'll
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: be able to floss it all out of my teeth,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: which is amazing. Of course, I'm want to put this
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: at least one bag of these in my car. What
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: a great thing to happen.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: Now, I got them in every drawer of my house.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: This is what I am with gum. Now you'll gum
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: in the bag, gum in the car. You never know
