  - Well, Olivia, I haven't seen you in person
• 0:10
  in like two months and that's unacceptable.
• 0:12
  - I know.
• 0:13
  - So I need some updates about like what you're reading,
• 0:16
  what you're watching, what you're, what you're doing.
• 0:20
  I mean, I know you're, I follow you on good reads.
• 0:23
  I know you're on book number like 75 or some stupid shit.
• 0:27
  (laughing)
• 0:28
  - Actually, that's a really good point.
• 0:29
  What book am I on now?
• 0:31
  I think I, so last year I had set a goal of 36
• 0:35
  and I did not hit it, so I lowered it to 30,
• 0:39
  but I am gonna surpass that in like a week
• 0:44
  from now on. - That's insane.
• 0:45
  - Honestly, I am, let's see what book number am I on.
• 0:50
  Again, I live alone, I just moved to New City,
• 0:55
  so I also don't have a partner out here.
• 0:58
  So I very much just like have time to listen and read books.
• 1:03
  - I love it.
• 1:04
  - In fact, last night.
• 1:06
  I like picked up this like stupid little book
• 1:09
  from Target, I was like, oh, that's gonna be like an easy one.
• 1:12
  It's like a hockey romance or whatever.
• 1:15
  I was like, oh, look at this before I go to bed
• 1:18
  and I laid down last night at 8 p.m.
• 1:21
  to go to sleep and I did-
• 1:22
  - I'm almost done with it.
• 1:25
  I did not go to bed until 12, 30 last night
• 1:29
  because I couldn't put it down.
• 1:31
  So again, I am very much like a hyper-fixation person,
• 1:34
  but I am on book 25.
• 1:37
  - Jesus Christ, dude.
• 1:40
  - Okay, let's read 25 books into the first week of April.
• 1:44
  So we are,
• 1:45
  the book that I was reading though was really good,
• 1:49
  was a spiral.
• 1:51
  I also have been on a really big Abbey Yemenis kick.
• 1:56
  A book that just came out,
• 1:59
  it was her next book kind of,
• 2:02
  she doesn't do series,
• 2:03
  but she does all in the same universe.
• 2:06
  And so I read just for the summer
• 2:09
  and then say you'll remember me,
• 2:12
  just came out like a week ago.
• 2:14
  - So some romantic.
• 2:16
  - Yes, I've been on a contemporary romance kick.
• 2:19
  I actually, after on X Storm and finishing that,
• 2:23
  I read Quicksilver right after that.
• 2:26
  And then I was like, okay, it's getting to predictable.
• 2:31
  I need to like go into- - Yeah.
• 2:33
  Break it up a little bit.
• 2:34
  - Yeah, and I love romance, you know,
• 2:36
  we've got to believe in love still.
• 2:38
  - Yeah, of course.
• 2:39
  (laughing)
• 2:40
  - As a single person.
• 2:41
  So I was like, okay, I'm gonna go into contemporary romance.
• 2:44
  And I've been on a giant Emily Henry kick,
• 2:47
  Ashley Poston, Abby and Liz.
• 2:50
  - You and Jessica were talking about the other day.
• 2:52
  - Emily and Jerry.
• 2:53
  - Okay, I thought that was it.
• 2:55
  - Yes, and Emily Henry is a great vacation read person.
• 3:00
  - Yeah.
• 3:02
  - She has quite a few books and great pick up,
• 3:05
  like great one book reads.
• 3:08
  She just sold her first book to,
• 3:11
  or one of her first books to Netflix.
• 3:14
  - Oh, she, oh.
• 3:14
  - And I think it comes out in a few months.
• 3:16
  It's called Beatread.
• 3:17
  It's really, really good.
• 3:18
  - Beatread. - Beatread.
• 3:20
  - Yeah, Beatread.
• 3:21
  It has that guy who plays Coriolena Snow
• 3:24
  in song Birds and Snakes,
• 3:26
  which I still haven't read or seen.
• 3:29
  - Oh my god, I didn't read that immediately
• 3:31
  after "Sunday's on the Reaping."
• 3:33
  So, I'm so close.
• 3:35
  - I'm so close to being Dima sunrise on the Reaping.
• 3:38
  So, what we're gonna talk about that in a future episode.
• 3:41
  - Yes, I just counted.
• 3:42
  I have read, let me see here this year so far.
• 3:46
  I finished one, two, three, four, five, six books.
• 3:50
  So, look at you go.
• 3:51
  - Look at that.
• 3:52
  - And I'm gonna be on seven soon.
• 3:54
  So, not bad, not bad, Trinidad.
• 3:56
  Besides that, I'm just watching all the usual stuff.
• 4:01
  Andrew and I watch next level chef, solo leveling.
• 4:06
  I just watched a movie called Akira from 1988,
• 4:13
  which is one of the most famous anime movies of all time.
• 4:16
  And I can't believe I've never seen it.
• 4:17
  It's like, I know I've seen the artwork
• 4:20
  and definitely like gifts of it more.
• 4:23
  And it's like this cyberpunk action film.
• 4:27
  It reminds me a lot of stranger things,
• 4:31
  like kids with telekinetic powers and stuff.
• 4:34
  So, I definitely think that might be where they got
• 4:37
  some like stranger things and flowance from.
• 4:39
  So, gonna pop that.
• 4:41
  It was, it had that like violent quality
• 4:44
  that only like 80s and 90s cartoons can have.
• 4:47
  Do you know what I mean?
• 4:48
  - Yeah.
• 4:49
  - Where it's just the hits hit harder
• 4:50
  and you just, there was like body horror at one point
• 4:54
  and we were very engaged.
• 4:56
  - So, like that.
• 4:58
  - I've been reading a lot, but sometimes, you know,
• 5:00
  a girl has to go back to her roots and masturbate.
• 5:03
  - And listen, yes, totally, totally.
• 5:06
  Not to this though.
• 5:09
  So, Netflix dropped a true crime documentary
• 5:14
  called Gone Girls, The Long Island Serial Killer,
• 5:18
  which it's a three episode series.
• 5:22
  I don't know how familiar you are
• 5:24
  with The Long Island Serial Killer, just in general.
• 5:28
  He was, you know, uncought for like 15 years.
• 5:33
  I think that it's so interesting
• 5:37
  because there are, you know, active serial killers
• 5:40
  existing right now, right?
• 5:42
  But the way that, yeah, right.
• 5:45
  But we don't really talk about them,
• 5:47
  like in the same way that you would think about, you know,
• 5:50
  like a Ted Bundy and how much it was covered back then.
• 5:53
  And a lot of the time it is kind of,
• 5:55
  police don't want to stir up like a fear of like comedy
• 6:00
  and things like that.
• 6:01
  And so they try to like downplay it
• 6:03
  and not connect these things.
• 6:04
  But The Long Island Serial Killer, for like,
• 6:06
  as long as I can remember, was one of those, like,
• 6:09
  infamous serial killers in our time
• 6:12
  where nobody knew what it was.
• 6:14
  So he, I think it started in the early 2000s
• 6:20
  and he was just caught like two years ago.
• 6:23
  Oh shit.
• 6:23
  I'm gonna have to watch this.
• 6:25
  - And true.
• 6:25
  - It's really good.
• 6:27
  He, it was ignored for so long
• 6:30
  because he was going after sex workers.
• 6:33
  - I hate it.
• 6:34
  - Within like, me and video.
• 6:35
  - Yeah.
• 6:36
  - Which to decide, yeah.
• 6:37
  - Yeah, and they were discovered kind of
• 6:39
  in a fluent area.
• 6:40
  And then it wasn't until, you know,
• 6:42
  a non-sex worker was murdered that they did it.
• 6:46
  - Pretty like blonde hair.
• 6:46
  - But they started to take, yeah, right, exactly.
• 6:49
  And so it's really, really good.
• 6:51
  It goes over, it goes over kind of how,
• 6:54
  'cause some of these women got away.
• 6:56
  Some of these sex workers got away as well.
• 6:58
  And so that was like the start of the authorities about it.
• 7:02
  Yeah, oh that's fascinating.
• 7:03
  - Yeah, they do these interviews.
• 7:04
  So that was really, really good.
• 7:06
  I would definitely pump that if you are a true crime fan.
• 7:11
  - It's kind of mad.
• 7:12
  - Yeah, I might get it all over.
• 7:14
  - I've also been, I've also been on a big,
• 7:16
  if you have HBO Max, people investigate,
• 7:21
  has like individual episodes on like one case.
• 7:26
  And you know, not a big people magazine reader,
• 7:29
  but their true crime stuff is actually pretty good.
• 7:32
  - Interesting.
• 7:33
  And I do have HBO Max.
• 7:34
  I just haven't perused it in a minute.
• 7:37
  I need to get back on showtime
• 7:38
  so I can finally watch yellow jackets.
• 7:41
  And the decks are pretty cool.
• 7:43
  We need to start at the same time
• 7:46
  so we can talk about it.
• 7:47
  - Yeah, you also need to watch white load ass.
• 7:50
  - I know, I've gotten every spoiler for white load ass
• 7:53
  because there's so many memes and I just look it up
• 7:56
  'cause I wanted to know, do those two brothers ever do it?
• 8:00
  Like I just would Google it.
• 8:01
  Like, I know.
• 8:03
  I was like, I don't want to spoil it,
• 8:04
  but spoilers for white load ass in three, two, one.
• 8:07
  Handy.
• 8:08
  - Yes, my hand. - Handy.
• 8:10
  - Handy. - Hands in a brother handy,
• 8:11
  always great for cinema.
• 8:14
  - I mean, for cinema, yeah, I guess that's true.
• 8:17
  - Yeah, yeah, real HBO special.
• 8:20
  - Incessed.
• 8:21
  - Oh God, no.
• 8:23
  - So, yeah, well, good to catch up.
• 8:25
  I hope I see you soon.
• 8:27
  - Yes, miss you.
• 8:28
  - Thank you, love you.

  - Now you do me.
