  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is I'm going to get in a lot
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: of trouble.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I locked it in a box, Like I literally locked
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: it in a box.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: And I locked it in a box.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm so jealous. I can't do that. I'm not allowed
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to do that. I'm so jealous. I do have my
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: phone on me.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you. You got it in,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: you got it in, got.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It and then let me Yeah, let's be honest. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: think we've all had a sneak our phone in the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: place we weren't supposed to have them.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I did have to.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Sneak my phone in and I let's just say, don't touch.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: It now that we're being honest, I did bring the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: key to the lock that has my phone in it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: I couldn't.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: I couldn't not, I couldn't note.
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: Now what we're being honest, I'll also say I have
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: a hearing aid in and it's not so I can
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: hear you guys, So I can hear my boss.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: So you have been like an in ear for it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: not an aid.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And if you're being honest, I actually have a
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: second phone in my shoe that I can get out
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: at any point. I just have to cut my shoe open.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: But it's ready. If it buzzes, it's ready, so.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Whenever, honest, I do have Google contact lenses. So yeah,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I am checking emails.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But it's so good to not be worrying about work.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: So awesome, so crazy, so crazy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Man, here's a crazy pitch.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: What if we took eight second phone break, just ten seconds.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Right now, just right now, to.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Get it out of the way so we never have
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: to look at it again.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: See that's so funny because that tells me a lot
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: about who you're the assistant to because if I took
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: ten seconds, there's no way it's going to be ten seconds.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: If I make myself available, I'm making my night available
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: right right, right right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I think we're good. I think we're good right now.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: We won't do it, then, we won't do it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Ten seconds to me is a drive to the delia,
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: and I don't have it in me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys blocked it out right, like you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: blocked out this time. We're allowed to, We're allowed to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: take time to ourselves.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I read this book about something called self care but lately,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and it's like really awesome because you can you actually
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: are allowed to care about yourself.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So I think it's important that we do that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. And I try to block it
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: out on the calendar, but I don't think they even look.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: At the calendar, because I'm I'm putting it on his calendar,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: but he doesn't look at the calendar. It's my job
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to look at the calendaring it out for myself exactly.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: My boss does look at the calendar because they do
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: figure out what I do wrong on it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So they're definitely looking. They're definitely looking.

• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So you live in New York City. Yeah, that's really cool. Man.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I've been in New York a bunch of times. Really fine.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, it's been meaning to go out there.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Darlene splits her time between New York City and uh h,
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: New York City and Fort Lauderdale.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because that's where Andrew Lloyd Webbers lives half
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the year, right tax Savan and Fort Lauderdae, not London.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: No, well Andrew does. Darlene has a mind of her own,
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: meaning a condo of her own where she does stuff
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: that I really can't.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I can't.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: I'm so nervous because I have so many secrets.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I think all of us nobody's breaking their NDA today.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Is that we are inherently all about to break our NDA.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like a very deep way. And so
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I am a little anxious about that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: And I just want to say I shouldn't have said
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: that Jennifer and Milo had a breakup. That was actually
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: wrong of me. That's under India. And I know they did.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Promise not to release this for six months, so that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: gives us time to uh set.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Our affairs in order and run if we need to.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and six months from now is when Diana said,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: technically I was potentially going to become a producer of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the company. So at that point that's a different that's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a different type of NDA. So so that's that that
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't cover it. So this to come out. Then we
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: can attractively make sure it works and we can figure
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm all good, yeah, good.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Every every four months, my contract, the assistance contract for
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: DeBie is on a R or P basis, so basically
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: a rehire or promote, rehire a promote, So like she
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: has to she has to press a button and then
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: figure out like what where you go next? But it's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: like a hard deadline like first of the month. On
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: that fourth month, like she is making the decision if
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you're staying or if you're going up, and so that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: coming up for.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Man, that's only there's only two options there.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: There's only two options. So sometimes you can So here's
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the thing. You can get rehired again, but you can't
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: do it in consecutive cycles. So you can audition again
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: to be her assistant.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Do you have to audition?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a contemporary and a Shakespeare.

• 10:05
  Speaker 3: person and the way what kind of agent they'll be
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: based on what they.

  Speaker 3: I've never known who said it or what.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: These words have just been in my bones for years,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: so I I didn't.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Even have to memorize or anything.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: You know, it's just in me so refreshing to like
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: have a reevaluation. Darlene just looks at me and goes, you're.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Never getting ready naked, that's fine.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: And when she says that, it's just like it's so
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: hard to like toure a future or life, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: because you're just.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Being Tyler just been her assistant.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Uh so it's been six months now, wow wow? Yeah?
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: And yeah, I just she caught me when I was
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: on my skateboard. I ran into her down skateboarding down Manhattan.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Believe it or not, think what an n YU student
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: thing to do, especially when trying to.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Find Brooklyn because I'm just like sometimes I'm like insane.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: I'm just like, I'm Tyler and uh I I she
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: had an umbrella sticking out and my skateboard went over
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: her umbrella and somehow caused her to trip, and ever
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: since then, she's never getting rid of me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: But it sounds nice that you could like reevaluate.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: So was she kind of angry when she hired you
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: off the skateboard? Like does it seem like a revenge
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: sort of thing or was this like you have potential?
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: It was kind of like you know in uh, Beauty
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: and the Beast that movie when the old lady gives
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: him a rose and he becomes a beast. It seems
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: like ever since I ran into Darlene, I've gotten caught
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: in a web of my own. And my friends just
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: keep going to Tyler, you're being Kyler, and I go,
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Know when this is gonna end.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna cry?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Man? You're right?
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Nope, So you're you're so You're okay, right, No, I'm
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: really fine.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Forgive me.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Sometimes when I talk about my job, I get a
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: little little emotional. Man.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Assistant is an emotional job. We put ourselves out there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We work really, really hard, and sometimes you feel invisible.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you feel like nobody is looking for you. Sometimes
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you feel like you're stuck in a specific place. I'm actively,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: very radically open with Diana Bacon.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Me and her. We share a really tight relationship everything.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: She's radical in the way that she wants me to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: tell her every single thing that's going on. Every single thing.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So I have to text here all the feelings that
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I have every time I have them. Oh wow, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: have to kind of compile them to one text today.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So I keep a feelings journal and then they send
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: them at the end of the day of how I feel,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: so she knows where I'm at. She really cares about
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: everything I'm up to all the time. She wants to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: make sure that what I'm doing reflects on her and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that it all works out in order to make sure
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the Superstar Pictures is exactly what it needs to be.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: We have a really close relationship. I would consider her
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: my best friend. I would consider her my mother, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: would consider her my confidant. I would consider her my ride.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Or die right now, that's insane. I love hearing that.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: That reminds me of my relationship with Motorbike.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Motorbike in person or an animal.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: It's an animal. It's Miley Cyrus's Golden Retriever, and he
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: is wild. He's a blast, very demanding as a dog.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: But I just feel like I can really really I don't.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Know what he's demanding.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Oh so, basically what happens is he'll be running running
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: around the house because Mile just every morning, we'll just
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: let all the dogs out and all the animals out,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: and it's just a fun game we do. I have
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to kind of like collect them all in the morning.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Oh god, I imagine her assistant, her personal assistance there
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: doing things.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, you have to find all those dogs.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Well I heard about this through a little bit of
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: assistant gossips.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Facebook group.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I love Awesome assistms.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I was so sad on an Awesome Assistance with legitimately
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: shut down because they shared the Joker script.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So sad about awesome so sad.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I can't believe somebody shared the Joker script a year
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: before the Joker came out.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: On Awesome Assistance rooted for all of us.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Okay, but there still is the housing one.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's very useful.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: It's really help It's super useful.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: It's really helpful. What I want to tell you, man.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: You gotta be fearful. In the Housing group, they release
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: scripts too.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's why you always have to check.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Well, they don't release it, they use it as kind
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: of like two bedroom fifteen hundred. Also you'll get the
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: script of pride and prejudice.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, bro. When I heard
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Joker Too coming on, I said, let's brace. Let's brace
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Awesome Asistance Housing because I can't lose another.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I see you posting all the time saying no Joker
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I script here. No, it's pinnedrimned that group.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Well, Diana does it with me. Dana wants to be
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: involved sitting down.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: She likes to go on my social media with me
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to see what I'm seeing, to make sure that I'm
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: seeing aligns with her vision. What I wanted to say
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: about what I saw on the Awesome Assistance Group, huh
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is I saw that Miley cyrus Uh trained all of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: her dogs with dog buttons. But they're only assistant.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Orders, right, So if you know Bunny the dog on TikTok,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: it's very similar to that. So they all have they
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: all the animals have different sets of buttons with demands
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: and wants and needs, and there's no pleases or thank you,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: so it's just mostly one word things like treat, treat, treat, treat, treat, food, food,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: food food food, walk, walk, p p p p P bark, bark, bark, attack, attack, attack,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: attack smooth is a button for bark. Yeah, that's the
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: one thing they have got.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a motorbike.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: It never barks. Whatt If Michael never bark, he'll just
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: hit the button a lot, He'll hit the bark button.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: What his ear of bark? But no, there's a bark
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: button because sometimes the dog ones meet a bark, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: that's what I can imagine. They're trying to bark, bark, bark, bark, bark,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Like motorbike will always be pressing this bark bark button.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: But then uh, Skuyler, one of her favorite bunnies, will
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: hit the bark button for me to bark for me.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense because for me, if I were
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to be making dog buttons, I'd be getting dog bark
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: buttons because I'm asking what are the dogs thinking? And
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think that the dogs are thinking bark, you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I imagine they're saying something with
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: their bark.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: So you wouldn't believe how many times dogs are thinking bark.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: I've never.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: You know, I've never really thought that when a dog
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: is barking, he might be trying to communicate to me bark.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's sounds a huge blind spot we have.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I think you're so wrapped up in the industry that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: we don't think about sometimes people say what they mean. Yes,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: when we when were someone say let's get lunch, we
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: know that that means like, hey, how are you?
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: We're never going to get lunch.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: But like you know what, sometimes bark means barresh.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It's so refreshing, man, Just say what you mean, what
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you say, you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Say, that's what That's what animals are there like straight
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: to the punch. And it's crazy that we've been hearing
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: them bark and we think it's something.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Else, such a human thing. It's such a human thing
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: to think that your dogs are speaking to you when
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: actually they just mean bark.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Diana's going to be thrilled when I tell her about this.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: She's going to be fantastic.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: We're working on a movie about dogs right now that
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I can't talk about it at all. But let's just
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: say a dog is involved, and this movie features dogs,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and this is something that involves dogs.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: She's gonna be happy to hear it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: That's awesome, amazing, I will say, Debbie and I have
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: sort of a say, a similar system to the buttons thing,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: where I'll just pick up the phone when she calls
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: and she'll say email, and I'll have.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: To figure out what that means.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Oh no, And so we have to go through a
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: series of like it's almost like an algorithm where I
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: have to ask, okay, from who, and then she'll say client,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: and then I just have to rattle off names. Yeah,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and it the timer of how fast I have to
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: respond keeps going down and down and down and down
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and down until I have to figure out what's going on.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Do you figure it out?
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: You have a lot of the time.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Good, it's a lot of putting together context clues.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is actually really based on that. You know
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that I was thinking about the times Maybe you didn't
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: figure that out. This is a difficult thing to talk about.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: How do your bosses punish you for doing things wrong?
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Oh? Man, that's a really good question.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And I say punished, which is a harsh word, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: it is exactly what I mean because bosses two assistants
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: typically punish them. Yeah, ones, we do things wrong, this
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is their life that we're toying with.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: The if you're not an assistant messing up once a week,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: I mean you're an amazing assistant if you're only messing
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: up once a week, because this job is tax Yeah.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: But it's also like our bosses aren't gonna do like
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: course correct, They're gonna punish, you know, because it's their
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: lives at stake.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: What's missus Lloyd Webber do?
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Boy?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: She loves to throw Shirley temples at my head, your
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: hand full glass of Shirley temple.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: It so does she order the Shirley temple when she's
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: about So that's when I know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: It, you know, you know when your boss like will
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: clock a couple things wrong, but she's waiting for like
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: one other thing. Like it's something like with with Darlene.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: It takes a couple of times in the day for
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: me to mess up. It's never on the first mess up,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: which I'm thankful for, but it freaks me out because
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: then I know here it comes, you know, and she'll
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: just stop what she's doing and she'll say, waiter, can
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: I get a Shirley Temple extra ice? And I know
• 19:54

• 20:02
  Speaker 7: my long board to like somehow at the waiter out
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: at the Shirley Temple, to like stop it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: You know, you try and hit it in mid air.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: She's throwing an s t au and you're throwing a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: longboard at her.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Not exactly, I'm throwing the long board at the Shirley Temple.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Does it hit her?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Sometimes?
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: This is where we get into n DA stuff.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: You know, if you if you hit her, let's go
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: with your longboard.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: I made her sign.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I think you can talk about it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'll do I'll.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Break the d your boss, Tyler, that's insane.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Had you do that, Tyler?

  Speaker 7: longboard hit her face and it ruined, ruined her botox.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: She scared the ship out of me. She grabbed me
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: and and then I said I'll tell you. I'll tell
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: people you grabbed me because I will say sorry, it's
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: getting dark.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: I will say.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: Assistant lifestyles changed when Twitter came, Like it was like
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: when that longboard hit her face was kind of like
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: the glass ceiling breaking, and it was kind of like
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: me being like, I can hold you accountable too, right,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: right right, And that's when I said, you need to
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: sign this n DA that says I never threw longboard
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: at you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: So that's less of an NDA and more of like

  Speaker 2: But respect man.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: That's awesome though.

• 24:37
  Speaker 2: question too.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Oh I'm sorry.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So Diana Bacon, she likes to punish me by taking
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: me to Nobu and having a really nice meal. So
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: if I screw up, she pampers me and she shows
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: me the life that I will give up if I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: ever screw up again.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my, it's really beautiful. It's a beautiful moment. She's
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: really nice to me. She's the nicest she's ever been
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: to me. And when she's nice to me, I know
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: that I've fucked up.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And it's a great way for her to let me
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: know because otherwise she's clear, she's open, she's direct. And
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: then when she starts being nice to say, oh my god,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: she's doing something. She's treating me like a stranger.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: That's really sinister.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: So she's like almost like it. When she's distant. The
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: worst thing that happens to you is she gets a little.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Distant exactly exactly because I crave her and I need her.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I need her in my life. She's important for me.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: And she has you crave her?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I crave her in a in a in an establishment way.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I crave her, you know, like like you crave a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: subway system, you know what I mean. I crave her
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for her structure.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I crave for her for the.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Other day when I crave a transportation system.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, that the other day I was craving a train.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because you need to get from one place
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to the other place, and so that, Oh I could
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: really use this, and you're craving a train.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I crave her like a I crave an airplane. It's
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: she's she's vital to give me where I need to go.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: She's important. And if I lose that, I'm lost and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I'm stuck. So I never want that.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And if she starts, or she says my name wrong,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: or she'll do some other stuff like that, Oh my god,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: she's acting like I don't exist, you know, and it
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: spirals me. It spirals me, and so I have to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I have to do a hot yoga class, and I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: have to film myself doing it, and then I have
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to send it to her to show that I'm punished.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: It's really not that bad that It's like good sushi
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: and hot yoga.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, but it feels bad right, and I think, yeah,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: exactly exactly.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: It's just important.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Punishment is important, she's told me, and I agree. I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: think I'm bad sometimes I'm naughty. I'm naughty and I'm
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: naughty and I'm bad and I actually don't. I don't
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: do the right things a lot of the time, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I'm actually a loser and I'm a freak. So it's
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: really helpful for her to kind.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Of come in and help me out with that, wow,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: with the sushi like that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, that's insane. You know, I'll say every friend
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: and animal is different in terms of punishment. You know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: most of the animals are bite, growl, bark type of thing.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Constrict and do What do they mean when they growl?
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Do you think they just mean growl or is there
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: something else to it?
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. The interesting thing is when they growl,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I assume they're trying to tell me, oh, back off,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: or you've done something wrong. But when I press the
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: button growl, I don't know what the fuck they mean?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Is that playful growl? There's no real inflection in the
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: growl there.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: It could be like a sarcastic sort of flirty like growl.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: I imagine it changes for animals too, like when a
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: bunny growls.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, one of the worst buttons is the cat's me yow.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: That sucks because they could just say it, Yeah, they could.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Just say I believe that from a cat though, So
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that a friends punishment.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: A lot of them get distant, but a lot of
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: them really really rail into me. Like Axel will send
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: me mean photos. He'll threaten big, big moves. You know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: he's crazy. He's a wild child, that guy. So yeah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: it just depends on the moment and the and the
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: person I'm assisting at that at that moment, you know,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: so it's crazy.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to know a time from you
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: guys where you I mean, we're talking about punishment, but
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: what's the time when you messed up, when you like
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: like assistant disasters? Because I can tell you one time
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: because my routine with Debbie is, you know, I wake
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: up and then she calls me and she goes remind me,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: and I go, okay, And at this point I read
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: off a list of who her friends and family are
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: and I'll say She'll say Michael, and I'll say brother.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: She'll say got it. Sarah sister, got it?
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: So you're reminding her of Yeah, I'm reminding her of
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: her family. I'm reminding her of her clients. And then
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: she goes breakfast and I say granola, and she says.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: It feels like less about reminding her she has family,
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: but more just like labeling what each is, like, just
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: like associating the cat like.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: It's sort of like audio flashcards that we have to
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: review it every day because she doesn't know where she
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: is at any given moment, and so it's tough.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: She also doesn't know how to I'm sorry.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Oh good, I'm good. I'm listening. Are you sure? I'm good? Yeah,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: just I'm dealing with something.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: What are you dealing with?
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Your phone looks like waves?
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Your phone is moving so fast.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I'm just what are you dealing with?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good, I'm listening. Just go ahead.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Did you fuck up?
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: No?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm fine.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: What did you do?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just good, I'm good. I'm all good. Go ahead,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And so your mom and your your dad.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: That is the longest calendar description I've ever seen.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: I just missed.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I just I just I just missed something really quick,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm okay, and I got it. I just gotta
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I got a Google invite to go ivy. Yeah, so
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: that's bad news. But I'm good.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm good.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: I'm good. I'm good.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: I'm good. I'm good.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: That's great. That's great, that's great.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Let's keep we're good.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, one of one of them, I guess, one of
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: the one of the worst.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, what's going on?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Are you?
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Oh? He just run out.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: He had to run out, He had to run out.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Do I know what that's like.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've been there.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: One time a pair keet got out and that was me.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: That was me. I had to sprint around all of
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Los Felis and just trying to find this parakeet.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: Did you find him?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I did?
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Oh in a bad way.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: No, it's a positive, okay, cool, I found it was.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: It was not the we're talking about mess up when
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: you messed up.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: So one of the worst times I've messed up is
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: actually I drove my car and hit one of her friends.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: It was Discovers.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: It's a big mess up.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I was a disaster on the day. Well, basically what
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: happens is I live at Miley Cyrus's in Miley Cyrus's backhouse. Basically,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: I live in Maiay Cyrus's backhouse. She's got this beautiful mansion.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I live in the back of it, and I pay rent.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: So one time I was just reversing my car. Turns
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: out Miley Cyrus was having a rager all night and
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of her friends were hanging out right outside
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: of the garage. So I ended up hitting like two
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: or three of her friends who I'm.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Assisting to, oh, like a few, like a zambo wasn't like.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, when you start reversing and it's early
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: in the morning and you just don't know what you're doing,
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: see accidental like dn'k ding ding right right?
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: That's tough. That's like pretty colossal.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: In terms of how you say the text messages, I
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: got awful, awful, awful off. Oh yeah.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Also, did I interrupt yours because you were saying you
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: don't Oh.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: No, I was just gonna say, oh yeah, it was
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: it was a mess up with the flash cards.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: She said.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Sun and I said nighttime, and she got that whole
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: confused the whole rest of the day.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: So she called her son nighttime.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Did she call him nighttime.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she called her son nighttime, and she thought that
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: that was the word. She thought that that was his name.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Why were you saying, well, because.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I thought we were talking about I thought she was
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: asking me when the sun was out, and I said nighttime.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Because I screwed up.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: I don't really like a screw up on your part.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: It feels like you're going from categorizing the people in
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: her life and who they are and then just like
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: basic kindergarten, right, well, she.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Needed that, like normally we need to go through like
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: this is the time of day, and this is what
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: it looks like. This is because she doesn't you know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: she's not on Apple Calendar, she's not on Google Calendar.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I run all of that, and so everything needs to
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: be sorted for her, and so she really didn't know
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: what was going on, and so I have to go
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: back to basics.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: But I was also.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Answerer answering another email. At the same time, her astrologist
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: and her her therapist were in at odds. They were
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: double booked.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Oh I hate that when they're at odds.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: They were double booked and fighting.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: No, So I was a little distracted, and I just
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: throughout nighttime and then she said that I really embarrassed
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: her because she referred to her son as nighttime when
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: she was talking about.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: What happened.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Isn't it fucking crazy?
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: There's two four seasons in Los Angeles, Like there's a
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: four seasons.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, technically the Beverly seasons.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four season and there's restaurants in both of them
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and they're both a in the same thing.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Isn't that fucking Yeah?
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: That's just it? With the W two there's so many
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: do ws.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Speaking of you guys signed W twos or ten ninety nine?
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I bet you are. What does that mean?
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Oh my god?
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: I think I think this is a no offense. I
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: just don't see the path.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Well this I'm actually trying to become a writer actor,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: and I think there's okay, a clear path here with
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Miley's friends, Yeah are you? Are?
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: You guys all trying to be like, where is what's
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: the next? What's the goal? What's the end goal?
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So basically my goal is to use maybe some
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: of the animals connections.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: To what meat mice.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: That's a funny idea, very funny pitch, almost almost like
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: a script.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I just I've got so many ideas bouncing up.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: No, but yeah, a lot of the animals have great
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Hollywood connections. So I'm just trying to like be in
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: the right place at the right time and maybe jump
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: to a different place, maybe jump to a different animal,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: maybe jump to a different room and use that, you know,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: pitch some of my scripts, get notes, and just get
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: get a little closer, you know. But it's a clear path,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't get to answer the question about the
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: biggest mistake.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, go ahead, what did you do?
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: And I'm trying to like just advocate for myself more.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: My therapist told me that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: So I'm so happy you're in therapy.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's incredible.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Thank you, great, thank you.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: Darlene originally wanted me to see her vibes therapist, and
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: I was like, I don't think that's real.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: Whoa did you are?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: To be honest, man, you are as confrontational as I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: am to Diana Bacon and she asks for it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: You are really you say a lot of crazy.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: You're standing up for yourself.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: I have to, I mean it's crazy. Yeah. I didn't
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: mean to interrupt you.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, don't please. I was done. I
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: was done.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: The biggest mistake I ever made was Darlene.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: One day at three pm, woke up and went outside
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: and I went, wait, so down and because we had
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: a couple of appointments that day, and I was like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: sonoun down and then she was like she got in
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: the cab and she looked do you mean?
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: She said catch me and the caboy.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Catch me if you can day and I had to
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: find her that day.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Do you guys ever have those?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Diana calls them waldo days.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: That's so tough, yeah, day And it feels like, what
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: is this productive? What is it about?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Like? Why are we what's a mental game? I think
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: that what they're doing to us is just trying to
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: break us down and put us to the edge so
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: we get stronger.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: You know, it's hard because de wu'l ask where am I?
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: And then I have to figure that out.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I genuinely don't know. If it's between calls,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know where she is, and so I'm like, well,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: what does it look like? And she'll say, well, oranges, apples, bananas, cold,
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: very cold, and I'll have to be like grocery store right,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: and then she goes, why am I here? How do
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I get home, and then I have to do a
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: lot of detective.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Work to figure that out. Let me tell you the
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: one of the worst phone Kyles I can get is
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: just a random number calls me and I just hear
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: a button where where where? Where? Where? Where where? And
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: it's you know, one of the dogs I have gotten.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Now you know they have a button for your phone number.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: They have a So I think, what's happening? I think
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: what's happening because usually what it feels like is either
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: they've they've managed to grab somebody's phone with their mouth,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: or a kind stranger has dialed the number on their caller,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: which is a direct number to my number, not to Miley's,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: and then they'll hit their button. Each of them carry
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: around a little button vest, so yeah, that's what they'll do.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: That's rough.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I h Diana definitely loves to do cash
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: with for your candidates.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: We call them all the day.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: She likes to She likes to be found and she
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: always treats it like a challenge. And if I screw up,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: she takes me back to a nice dinner and it
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: feels awful. So she goes to really busy places. She
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: goes to red carpet events. She goes to the Running
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of the Bulls. I had to fly to Pamplona in
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: four hours. I define the fastest jet I could. I
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: had to pay for it myself in order to find
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: her in the mass of people for running the Bulls.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: And it was really, really hard. But I always feel
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: like I learned something and I'm so grateful for thosepportunities.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: She is a genius and she has gotten me to
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: do things I never thought I would do, And so
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I would follow her to the ends of the earth
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: and I have, I have, you know, and it's incredible
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and it's impressive, and you know, I wish.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I hope all of you guys get a boss like
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Diana Bacon, because she is. She sounds great, she sounds
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: she's great, and she cares about me. She cares about
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: me in a crazy way.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think she cares about anyone else, Like all
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: her ex husbands like call me all the time, telling
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: me like you really don't understand what you're dealing with,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and like you don't know what she said about you,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know she said about me.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: She said it to my face, like she feel like
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: you're a little hypnotized sometimes.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not hypnotized.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: You sound exactly exactly like my mom because she says
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff all the time.
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: No, yeah, I get it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, but I'm like mom, like, you worked
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: at a freaking red Rocket, Red Robin.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Oh she worked on the movie Red Rocket.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, she worked in a Red Rock.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: See it's like, I can see why you're so messed
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: up in the head because it's so easy for me
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: to know that my job sucks because like flying beverages
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: hit my face. But you're going to like beautiful restaurants
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: and great parties as your punishment.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: So I could imagine that she, somehow, in some.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: Sick way, made you believe that you're a piece of shit,
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: but keeps you coming back for more.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: She doesn't treat me like shit. She's she's good to me.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: She's given me more things than I've ever gotten in
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: And that's why I think you won't check in with
• 38:31
