  Hello, welcome to the Friday edition of the Nick and Kristen
• 0:13
  in the Morning pod. I don't know, I guess we're
• 0:15
  sorry we're not in the morning anymore Nick and Kristen in the
• 0:17
  podcast podcast and yes, there will be Nick's song of the week
• 0:22
  today. I know people have been asking
• 0:23
  for it and so I got 1 and it's ready to go.
• 0:27
  But first I want to say that I am growing out my hair as
• 0:30
  unemployment hair I. Think yeah, you said that.
• 0:31
  I think that I'm going to do it because I can't grow an
• 0:34
  unemployment beard. Yeah.
• 0:35
  And so I think, what do you think?
• 0:37
  I'm going to grow unemployment here.
• 0:38
  Last time we did something weird it was like during COVID.
• 0:41
  Yeah, we've dyed in hair blonde. Yeah, I don't want to do that
• 0:44
  because they look terrible. Yeah, that was weird.
• 0:46
  But at some point I can then put it in a man bun and I think
• 0:49
  that'll look OK. Like I can start to slick it
• 0:51
  back maybe a little bit and get some new style.
• 0:54
  There's no way this is going to last.
• 0:56
  God, I hope not. I hope that I can shave my head
• 0:59
  soon, you know what I mean. I like, there's no way you're
• 1:02
  actually going to let this grow. Then you don't throw it out.
• 1:04
  No, you're going to get so irritated.
• 1:06
  You're very much the person where it's like, if it's just
• 1:08
  even a hair too long, you're like trying to flick it back and
• 1:11
  you're like, Oh my gosh, yeah. Like, I feel like an emo kid.
• 1:14
  And it's like just like tiny little bit.
• 1:16
  Longer. It's hit the point now where
• 1:17
  it's annoyingly long now like this is this is where it doesn't
• 1:21
  do what it's supposed to do because I don't put any product
• 1:22
  in my hair or anything. So I just comb it and then if
• 1:25
  you've ever seen my hair and you're like, damn, hey, guy's
• 1:27
  got good hair. He does.
• 1:28
  It just falls that way. I know it's just the natural,
• 1:31
  but then it gets to the point where it looks like this and I
• 1:33
  have no. I still think it looks good.
• 1:35
  It looks fine. But yes, in a week you're gonna
• 1:37
  be miserable. And if I when I shave it I look
• 1:39
  like I lost 20 lbs. But you don't get to go to your
• 1:41
  old Barber. You got to go to like Supercuts.
• 1:43
  Now I. Know, but Zoe does it so well.
• 1:46
  Zoe. Shout out to Zoe.
• 1:47
  I know. I miss you, Zoe.
• 1:48
  Hopefully we'll see you soon. I can't go to my hair personal
• 1:51
  either because it's like $80 a haircut and I'm like, and then
• 1:54
  you got a tip. So I'm just gonna be like, well,
• 1:56
  I'm just gonna cut. Yeah, well, maybe we can do a
• 1:58
  side. Jay, is there anything I can do?
• 2:00
  Like maybe I can sweep hair for. Her you could trade, maybe make
• 2:03
  a logo or something. Yeah, like exchange for a
• 2:06
  haircut. I'm gonna make you some videos.
• 2:07
  I mean, she's got rent to pay too.
• 2:09
  Yeah, And Speaking of my odd appearance, there has been
• 2:12
  something called dad jeans that I've been getting accused of
• 2:15
  wearing. We posted pictures of our, like,
• 2:18
  new headshots. Shout out to Kenzie, who took
• 2:21
  our pictures and for these new podcasts and all the stuff that
• 2:25
  we're moving forward with. And the comment I got was like,
• 2:28
  love the dad jeans. Yeah.
• 2:30
  And I was like, they're just, they're just genes.
• 2:33
  Well, you came to me because you're like, well, you're hip
• 2:35
  and cool. What are dad genes?
• 2:36
  And I was like, no idea. Yeah, someone else then said it
• 2:39
  after that like, hey, dad genes are looking great.
• 2:41
  And I was like, wait a second, what the hell are dad genes?
• 2:44
  And it sounds it's probably not like meant to be mean.
• 2:48
  But when you say it that way as a guy, I immediately take it as,
• 2:51
  oh, I'm like an old man now is what you're telling me.
• 2:53
  I have no style. I'm wearing dad jeans, like, oh,
• 2:56
  you need the dad jeans for your new balances.
• 2:58
  I'm like, hey, shut up you, I'm not that old.
• 3:00
  Yeah, I don't know what a dad jeans are like.
• 3:03
  We need a good definition of them.
• 3:05
  So yeah, so I OK, so let's look up the dad jeans.
• 3:07
  I thought I looked them up, but let's see what the definition
• 3:10
  definition of dead. Well.
• 3:15
  Dead jeans actually, but caps all right, so dad jeans are a
• 3:18
  style of denim characterized by a high rise waist, relaxed or
• 3:22
  loose fit through the hips and legs and typically light wash
• 3:25
  pre washed look. So just jeans is what you're.
• 3:27
  Talking about I don't think they're high rise waist but they
• 3:31
  are. Your jeans are loose fit through
• 3:34
  the. Through the leg and they're
• 3:35
  straight leg. Yeah, and they I guess are a
• 3:37
  lighter denim, but I mean, the baggy's very specific.
• 3:41
  Yeah, so just so the regular jeans, they're not skinny jeans
• 3:45
  and they're not like baggy jeans.
• 3:46
  Would you ever wear a boot cut? I feel like I've worn a boot cut
• 3:50
  and I don't like it. I have thick calves like.
• 3:54
  The last podcast episode we talked about your thick neck.
• 3:57
  Now we're talking about your thick.
• 3:58
  I'm just a thick person. Just a thick person.
• 4:00
  I'm just thick. And they're not like obnoxiously
• 4:03
  thick. Like you don't look at them and
• 4:04
  go holy crap. Yeah, it's got thick ass calves,
• 4:06
  like, but they're they're man legs.
• 4:08
  I got my my bottom half. Yeah, my bottom half is sturdy
• 4:14
  and so I have to wear loose fitting jeans.
• 4:16
  You don't have to. I don't have to.
• 4:17
  You can show off your curves. I've worn skinny jeans before
• 4:19
  and it's just they don't, I mean, they're fine, but the
• 4:23
  style's going away. So I'm still going to dad jeans.
• 4:26
  And I just wanted to to just say that just leave my jeans alone.
• 4:30
  Well, it's better that than because the 90s are starting to
• 4:32
  be cool again. That's true.
• 4:34
  And what's coming back is the low rise waist for women.
• 4:38
  And I was like, I was hoping we'd never see the day, like the
• 4:41
  day where they rest below like the hip bones.
• 4:44
  And it's just like, EW, I hated those then.
• 4:47
  I hate them now. And I hate that like the 90s
• 4:50
  stuff is coming back. I.
• 4:51
  Lived in that era and I appreciated the low rise.
• 4:54
  Sure. But I was also.
• 4:55
  Yeah. Then because you were young.
• 4:57
  Yeah. Now I would like.
• 4:58
  I don't want my daughter. Right.
• 4:59
  Like, I don't want to see that like everybody cover.
• 5:01
  Up unless they bring the thong back like.
• 5:03
  Yeah, well, that because, like, the thong would be peeking out
• 5:06
  over the edge. I was never that person.
• 5:07
  It would look weird if they had like the Gran, the granny
• 5:10
  panties and the low rise jeans or yeah that is a look.
• 5:13
  The thong has to has to be. Yeah, I don't know those are
• 5:16
  even in style anymore. I do see a lot of kids now that
• 5:18
  they walk down the street. I'm like, I feel like I know
• 5:22
  they're all starting to look like us, which is super.
• 5:24
  Weird. I want to bring back like the
• 5:25
  Delia's catalogs. What's that?
• 5:27
  Oh, for women it was like it was a catalog of like 90s fashion
• 5:31
  and I remember thinking it was the coolest thing.
• 5:34
  It was like wide leg jeans and like little T-shirts and stuff.
• 5:38
  Like nothing was ever really big.
• 5:40
  But if you think of the show My So-called Life with Claire Danes
• 5:44
  and Jared Leto, like back in the 90s, like everything out of
• 5:47
  there looked like it was from Delia's.
• 5:49
  And it was just like, I wanted everything, but everything was
• 5:54
  way too expensive for like my family to buy because it would
• 5:57
  be like $40.00 for AT shirt back in like the 90s.
• 6:00
  And so that just like never happened.
• 6:02
  It was the magazine equivalent of Tilly's.
• 6:05
  OK, Do you remember Tilly's? Tilly sounds familiar, so this.
• 6:09
  Yeah, so like the the what? The stripe The stripe sweater is
• 6:13
  classic Delia's, and it had Delia's had.
• 6:16
  Like a little the one stripe or whatever.
• 6:17
  Yeah, yes, it was like a flower logo.
• 6:19
  And I remember would I would see that put out on people and I'd
• 6:21
  be like, Oh my gosh, it's so cool.
• 6:23
  And they would also have these big chunky platform heels that I
• 6:26
  just thought were the not heels, but like platform shoes that I
• 6:29
  just thought were the coolest, OK.
• 6:30
  Well, I mean, you could still probably rock that now.
• 6:32
  I could, but like, I'm, you know, I'm gonna sprain my ankle
• 6:35
  now. Like, I'm not gonna do that.
• 6:37
  Yeah, that start, I feel like that start with like I saw one
• 6:40
  at Old Navy, Yeah, for like guys, I was like I wore that.
• 6:44
  I know it's all just. Reinventing the same styles,
• 6:47
  it's all back, which means we're old.
• 6:48
  By the way, I. Don't know.
• 6:49
  I know every 20 years the fashions come back, so I don't
• 6:53
  know what the 2000s fashions gonna be around the bend, but
• 6:58
  we'll have to wait and save, yeah?
• 6:59
  Okay, I wanted to play this video for you and see how you
• 7:02
  felt about. It okay.
• 7:03
  If you're traveling, there's one thing you can do that will
• 7:06
  instantly give away that you're an American.
• 7:10
  There are a few telltale signs that someone might be from the
• 7:13
  States, like we strike up conversations with strangers and
• 7:16
  we like carrying around water bottles.
• 7:19
  Which I can understand is a little cringe, but can someone
• 7:21
  explain to me the alternative in Europe where people just walk
• 7:24
  around thirsty all day? But I was surprised to learn
• 7:27
  it's considered uniquely American for people to lean on
• 7:31
  things. For some reason.
• 7:33
  We just casually put our weight on railings or furniture or
• 7:37
  whatever's nearby. People have started to refer to
• 7:40
  as the American lean, and apparently other cultures don't
• 7:43
  do this as much and prefer to just stand straight.
• 7:47
  Some say Americans do this because they're used to comfort
• 7:49
  or are copying Hollywood. Others say that it reflects an
• 7:52
  American mindset that we feel like we own the space that we're
• 7:56
  in. But have you noticed that
• 7:58
  Americans do this? And what would be the one thing
• 8:00
  that gives away a tourist? Have you heard of the American
• 8:03
  lean? I had heard something about that
• 8:04
  I. Saw this pop up on my TikTok and
• 8:06
  I was like I do lean on I do. But I.
• 8:09
  I didn't know that that was uniquely an American thing.
• 8:12
  Like, yeah, people just stand straight.
• 8:15
  You got to look. You're a psychopath if you're
• 8:17
  all just standing there waiting for stuff.
• 8:19
  And then like I saw another video because I did some
• 8:21
  research on it and instead of like either standing straight or
• 8:25
  leaning, they'll bend down and like squat.
• 8:29
  If they get tired, they'll squat.
• 8:30
  I don't know what. And I go, why the hell would you
• 8:32
  squat? That's way worse.
• 8:34
  So I, if you're going out of the country, which we're not going
• 8:37
  to be doing anytime, look for the leaners.
• 8:41
  If you're looking for advice for someone, it's.
• 8:43
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 8:44
  Why do we lean on things immediately?
• 8:46
  I thought like systemically, like the weight of being an
• 8:49
  American is weighing. On us?
• 8:53
  Well, no. But like, if you think about it
• 8:55
  like, we're a country that prioritizes, like, capitalism
• 8:59
  and industry and manufacturing, most Americans have more than
• 9:04
  one job. Yeah.
• 9:05
  Like, we're tired. We're exhausted.
• 9:07
  That might be it, yeah. Any chance that we get, we're
• 9:10
  kind of like taking a second to rest and then being like, all
• 9:13
  right, let's go. Whereas like other countries,
• 9:16
  it's like they have two hours off in the middle of the day to
• 9:18
  go home and take a nap or have a, a lovely cafe.
• 9:21
  Like, we are such a go, go, go country that I wonder if at the
• 9:26
  end of the day, we're just all exhausted and just the weight of
• 9:29
  everything that we carry. It's just like, man, I just need
• 9:32
  a second just to like, take a moment.
• 9:34
  Yeah. Like, and then be like, OK, I'm
• 9:35
  up and going. It's like.
• 9:36
  Mice, it's a micro rest, like we're in between stuff.
• 9:39
  We take that second right? Just be like.
• 9:42
  Like when we're talking to our boss outside of their office and
• 9:45
  it's a conversation that we don't need to be having, we kind
• 9:47
  of like lean because then we got to go and we got to do something
• 9:49
  else. When you're an American in
• 9:51
  Europe traveling, a lot of times Americans over schedule because
• 9:57
  we don't know when we're going to be back.
• 9:58
  It's a big trip for us. So it's like every day is super
• 10:01
  busy. We're going to Sistine Chapel,
• 10:03
  then we're going to Venice, then we're going to all in one day.
• 10:05
  And so like you take that second to just be like, OK.
• 10:09
  Let me take a moment While you're looking at the map or
• 10:11
  while you're checking your phone, you lean a little.
• 10:12
  Whereas like Italians or something, they can travel to
• 10:15
  France for the weekend and they don't have to do anything if
• 10:18
  they don't want to because it's just like a train right away.
• 10:20
  I don't know geography, but like for us, it's like we, we over
• 10:24
  schedule, we're super busy. We're always doing something.
• 10:27
  So we have to find those moments, yeah.
• 10:29
  That's what it is I. Don't know.
• 10:31
  That's what I immediately thought.
• 10:33
  That's why I lean on stuff. I'm perpetually exhausted.
• 10:35
  We're just doing stuff all the time.
• 10:37
  Yes, you Europeans and your relaxed life and talents with
• 10:40
  work and stuff like that. Yes, who has that kind of time
• 10:42
  for anything like that? I know.
• 10:45
  All right, let's get to Nick's Song of the Week.
• 10:48
  So this Song of the Week is inspired by the fact that I am
• 10:53
  extremely bored at the house. Yes.
• 10:56
  So if you don't remember from our show, Nick, Song of the Week
• 10:59
  was kind of born out of the fact that Nick was making a song for
• 11:02
  some radio bit and then accidentally subscribed to this
• 11:05
  AI song making software for an entire year.
• 11:07
  Yeah. And so I was like, well, are you
• 11:09
  going to cancel it? And he's like, no, I'm just
• 11:10
  going to bring a new song every Friday.
• 11:12
  So we're going to bring that spirit and energy and wasted
• 11:16
  subscription money into this podcast.
• 11:18
  I'm not sure when I subscribe to it.
• 11:20
  So the year is coming up again, and since we're unemployed, this
• 11:23
  may go away. This may be over.
• 11:25
  Maybe the end? Of the song week, it might be
• 11:27
  the Chad GBT poem of the week. That's true.
• 11:30
  Yeah. Or just.
• 11:31
  I'll just have to sing it right, which is lame.
• 11:33
  All right, so this is called I'm bored.
• 11:35
  Let's see if I can play it for you.
• 11:36
  Got. I mean you could DoorDash or
• 12:37
  something. So bored.
• 12:38
  So Uber or Door Dash? No, we don't have the you know
• 12:42
  what gas prices are right now. There's a whole revolt from
• 12:45
  people door dashing and Ubering 'cause I can't afford to even do
• 12:47
  this. Anymore.
• 12:48
  I filled up our tank 2 days ago. It was $75.00 which is the
• 12:52
  limit. I don't even know if I filled it
• 12:54
  up all the way. I think that's just the limit.
• 12:55
  You just said you're done. You have to expand that limit
• 12:58
  now because I don't know, that was a shock. 13 gallons 70. $5 I
• 13:01
  drove by a gas station yesterday.
• 13:03
  The gas was 530. Yeah, it was like it's 59, it's
• 13:07
  599 where I went and I got 50% or $0.50 off because of like
• 13:10
  Safeway. So we need to get a bus pass.
• 13:12
  Shout out to Safeway. But oh God.
• 13:14
  So yeah, I'm bored and I can't do anything and I can't drive
• 13:16
  anywhere so. Somebody hiring him next.
• 13:18
  Next. Talk of the week.
• 13:21
  I'm bored. No, we have a podcast and that's
• 13:23
  what's keeping me sane. That's true.
• 13:24
  So every time you listen, you extend my life.
• 13:29
  One more day. Lovely her listen.
• 13:31
  So make sure you're listening every day.
• 13:33
  We will be back on Monday. This is our Friday episode, but
• 13:35
  we're going to do we post every weekday at midnight so that you
• 13:40
  have it there when you wake up. You can watch it on Spotify or
• 13:42
  YouTube or listen casually as you go.
