Speaker 2: Our Aspberry show is July seventeenth for those people getting

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: it in the next couple of weeks. Uh yeah, just

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: drying out for the summer, getting healthy, running stairs, doing

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: yoga with Adrian, drinking lots of liquid death.

21
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: That's great. Did you have you been doing yoga with

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: Adrian every day.

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: I thought you'd do it every other day. I've been

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: running stairs. Man, I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I just

25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: had one of those realizations that I was like, I

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: walk every day as a writer. It's very good to

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: walk in the afternoon. Clears the mind. It helps you

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: solve notts and scripts and things that you can't figure

29
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: it out. And then I was like, I got to

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: these stairs and my body was like, do not do these?

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: And then I got mad and I was like, you're

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: now you have to do it. And so it's been

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: like two months of me first walking them for like

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: two weeks, then running as many as I could, got

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: about halfway, then ran, and now running these stairs.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Dude, I feel good. That's great. Nice.

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: No, like it's crazy, It'll never get easier, so I'm

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: doing it today.

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: No, it really doesn't. It really doesn't. If anything gets harder,

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: it gets harder.

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: But there's something about the stairs that really it's like

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: the what is it sisyphus. It's like it's like going

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: up the hill and it just feels like that weight's

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: coming down, the rock's coming back at you. It's like

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: you see the top of that thing and you're like

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: I can get there and then slowly you're like, uh oh,

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: this could be hard, but now it's gotten easier. It

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: just takes like it takes like six weeks.

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: I remember when I was like trying to you know,

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: like I've for a very long time, I've had a

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 4: complicated relationship with working out where Like for a long

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: time in my life, I would just try to run

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: two places, Like if I needed to run an errand

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: I would just run to it and you would yell.

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: Kurt would run by my apartment and my windows will

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: always be open because it's Brooklyn and they were radiator heat,

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: and Kurt would be like, are you home. I'm like yeah,

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: And then about twenty five minutes later I would just hear.

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: It was.

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: I would look out and Kurt was running by, usually

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: in a snow coat, which was incredible.

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: But now, like I remember, the funniest place place I

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 4: ever got exercise was my kids. For some reason, sometimes

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: my son doesn't eat a lot, and so we always

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: have to be creative and how we eat. But one

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: thing he will always eat for some reason is a

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: Wetzels Pretzels hot dog loves him. They're the most disgusting

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: thing and he loves them, so I we literally I

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: it was like, I don't know around the pandemic.

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: And I went to the mall to.

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: Order Wetzels Pretzels hot dog and of course you're like,

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna be It's gonna take twenty minutes for smake,

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: these Wetzels Pretzels hot dogs.

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: And I was like, you assholes. I hate everything about us.

75
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: That is surprising.

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so but then I just went to the

77
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: parking structure at the American Brand and walked up and

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: down eight stories four times and then came back and

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: got my pretzels and I and always got a great workout.

80
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: Look at that, dude. That's a heck of a workout. Also,

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: the Americana for urban animals around the world. There are

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: two places in La and Glendale, which is a little

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: city next to La called The Grove and the Americana,

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: And they're outdoor shopping malls. If you've ever seen Extra,

85
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: the TV show with Mario Lopez and I don't know

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: who the other host is these days, they shoot it

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: outside there. Anyways, they're kind of these traps. They're sort

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: of like every story you want and a bunch of

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: restaurants and cafes, and they're built to be like idyllic,

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: like Stepford Wife type of situation.

91
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: There's always a fountain at the Americana is around this

92
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: huge fountain.

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, no, would you please describe it.

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: It's just the thing where both of them have these

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: giant fountains that can shoot up kind of like at

96
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: along with music, and it's like Sinatras come fly with.

97
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: Some always fucking Sinatra.

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And every time the twenty five year old cynical

99
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: version of me is like this stupid look at these cattle,

100
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: Look at these morons just looking at this fountain.

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: I watch it every single.

102
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: Time, every single every time I stop and I go,

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: this is great. How do they do this? This is

104
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: so cool. Then the song ends and all the water

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: splats down to the surface, and I'm like these cattle

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: these every time.

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: I fall for it.

108
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: It's like fireworks. You think you're over fireworks, still they

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: start going off and then you always look.

110
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 4: I had a bit for a while, because I mean,

111
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: like you're enjoying it just as a single man.

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, I.

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 4: Go there now, right, I go there now with the kids,

114
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: and it is just ideal because I can get a

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: Martini at the Cheesecake Factory, and then and then the

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: kids get a bubble gun and then they just sit

117
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: on a lawn in front of this amazing fountain that's

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: like shooting up Frank Sinatrum and I drink my martini

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: and they play with bubbles running around, and then we

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: go get Mexican food, and then it's like a perfect

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: four hours. And I was just like, like, I hate

122
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: so I grew up a jersey, grew up on malls. Malls,

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: of course, from malls from five years old until I

124
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 4: was eighteen. I loved them because also back then we

125
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 4: would smoke in malls, like we were smoking malls from

126
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: fourteen to eighteen shooting videos of malls.

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: We spent all of our time malls because there's nowhere

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 3: else to go. And then from.

129
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: Eighteen until the age of forty, I hated a mall.

130
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: And now come full circle. Life is a circle, folks.

131
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: It is beautiful. The beginning is in the end, and

132
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: I am back to love.

133
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: I love the it's fun there.

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: I love the cultivated experience of a southern California mall

135
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 4: is beautiful.

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: They have a double decker trolley at the Grove that

137
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: goes back. It just goes straight line one way, straight

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: line the other way. And I believe our brother in

139
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: exactly right. Bridger Wineger, for one of his birthdays, I believe,

140
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: invited everybody to ride that trolley back and forth in

141
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: the middle of the day. And I think people showed

142
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: up and did it.

143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: So good on.

144
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: Bridger for taking advantage of the joy that is the

145
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: grove in the middle of Los Angeles. Okay, I have

146
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: was some confessions.

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into them.

148
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: So the topic I put out was oops, I did

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: it again, and dating app blunders, and we got all

150
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: dating app blunders, lots and lots. There was one that's

151
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: sort of crossover, but we'll just start. This is an

152
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: interesting one.

153
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: Okay, great, I'm looking forward.

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: I feel like it'll spark wonderful conversations.

155
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: Sweet sweet, sweet, And.

156
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: These are anonymous. Your confessions are always anonymous. We will not tell.

157
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: I once asked a girl out on a dating app.

158
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: We had talked a bunch and then we agreed to

159
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: meet up, and I thought a pool hall would be

160
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: a good neutral location.

161
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: A billiard hall.

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I could tell right away she wasn't super excited

163
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: about playing pool, but she did agree. The day comes

164
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: and I'm at the spot way for her, only knowing

165
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: what her face looks like, and bam she shows up

166
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: and she only has one arm. I could have died.

167
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: I felt so so bad. She was such a sweet girl.

168
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: Never saw her again after that, But not sure that

169
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: that was the reason. Well it might have been the reason.

170
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: Oh wait a second, why wouldn't you, as a person

171
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: just say, how about we don't meet at the pool hall?

172
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: Well you don't even have to say why, just be like,

173
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't enjoy pool? Right?

174
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: Also, yes, also, that does feel like a moment where

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: maybe the conversation could have arisen. And I don't blame

176
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: this person for suggesting it. I mean it's I don't

177
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: know where they live. Maybe the pool hall is the

178
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: coolest place in the town that they live exactly, But

179
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: that would be a shocking moment that is very surprising

180
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: to you.

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: So but does it say if they played pool? Because

182
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: you doesn't because she could play.

183
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: She smoked them, That's what I think. I bet she

184
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: whooped his ass. That's probably why they never hung out.

185
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: Use that little thing, that little uh, that little holder,

186
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: the bridge, the bridge used the bridge boom bang them out.

187
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: I think it's not. I think it was a good

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: effort on everybody's part, and I can understand, you know,

189
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: I think other things were going wrong. That's what I think.

190
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

191
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's one I opened with a corny joke on

192
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Tinder about trains. Once it goes how to locomotives here?

193
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: You probably know this one, Curt. How do locomotives here

194
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: through their engineers?

195
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: I was literally I figure it out.

196
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: I watched in real time as the girl read the

197
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: message and instantly unmatched me. Wait, that was that was

198
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: in the texting courtship over the app. That joke was

199
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: a little cute fun.

200
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: It was, But I can understand one hundred percent because

201
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: it like that is a joke that either requires someone

202
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 4: to have a deep sense of our irony that that

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: would be a dumb, funny thing to send.

204
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: It is legitimately a.

205
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 4: Guy who thinks dad jokes are funny yep, yeah, and

206
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: so like.

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: Which sometimes they really are. Fifty fifty to fifty wan

208
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: to hear my favorite one of those I love.

209
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: Please, Uh, what do what do pantyhose and Brooklyn have

210
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 4: in common?

211
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: What do pantyhose in Brooklyn have in common. I don't

212
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: know Flatbush. Yeah, I get that good joke. It's not

213
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: a bad joke.

214
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: I never heard that before. Yeah.

215
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: Aya was at a bar pre quarantine and uh. I

216
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: looked over on a guy's phone and he was swiping

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: through a dating app. I don't know which one it was,

218
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: and an ex girlfriend of mine popped up on screen

219
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: and he swiped, Uh.

220
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: No, oh interesting because he knew it was your.

221
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: No, it's some stranger over his phone, a stranger's phone.

222
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh oh, is the first time that happened?

223
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: Oh my god? Is it was it?

224
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Uh?

225
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make the yes. Yeah, yeah, is that interesting?

226
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: And it was?

227
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: Uh. Everybody was like, was it weird? I feel weird?

228
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: I was like, it didn't feel weird at all. I

229
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: actually felt very relieved.

230
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: I might always happy, no matter if I get dumped

231
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: or I break up with somebody or what it is.

232
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: I want the people who I've dated to go on

233
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: and date other people and have a great life. Like

234
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, so many people get so possessed. They're like,

235
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: was it weird? I was like, well, I felt bad

236
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: that the guy said no yea, But other than that,

237
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, sorry, she's out there kick it.

238
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: But was it right after you guys broke up?

239
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: It was probably six months after maybe, So it wasn't

240
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: And it wasn't unexpected or anything either. It was more

241
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: it was strange to see someone's face that you know

242
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: on a stranger's phone.

243
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 4: That's that's it's it's just the disconnect and someone who

244
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: whose face is so intimately connected to your life.

245
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: Imagine you were on you're at a ski mountain, you

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: you take the family ski, you're on a lift, You're

247
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: sitting next to a total stranger, and my face popped

248
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: up on their phone. Wouldn't it be so weird?

249
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: It would be so weird.

250
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: I would if it was your face, I would lean

251
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: over and be like, you gotta swipe right on this one.

252
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: He's a keeper.

253
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the creakiest thing.

254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: It looks like a keeper.

255
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: But it was so that was the only weird part

256
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: was seeing And it's just gonna happen more and more

257
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: as technology becomes greater and greater. But like to see

258
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: it's one thing to see your friends on TV or.

259
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 3: Whatever on your own moment.

260
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, their TikTok, their Instagram, But then to be like

261
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: it was like a peak it was like a peek

262
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: into somebod el's life.

263
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: Again.

264
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't weird. It was sort of relief in a

265
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: weird way. But it was the first time that had

266
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: happened to me, and yeah, go go get it. I

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: saw the opposite too. I actually saw a friend of

268
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: ours whose name I won't name. I was at mess

269
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: All having drinks. I looked over and there was a

270
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: girl and he popped up and she swiped yes and

271
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: she showed her friend and then I was like, yeah,

272
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: he's cute, and it was like wow, Like it's so

273
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: it's like sitting in on.

274
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: A first date. Also rappy, crappy first day, I know.

275
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: And also that it's just like here's this one picture

276
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: or whatever, here's four pictures.

277
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: This ye, maybe we'll get married.

278
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: Joos wisely exactly. Confession. I used a dating app in

279
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty after moving back to my hometown, and

280
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: I'm actually the guy, a guy that I had completely

281
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: forgotten about. It had been over ten years. I told

282
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: him that I had forgot that we had hooked up

283
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: in the past, like truly, I have no memory of it.

284
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: He told me that I had taken his virginity, so

285
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: That's why the encounter was memorable to him and less

286
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: memorable to me. I didn't respond for a while. He

287
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: messaged back a few hours later and wanted to prove

288
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: to me that he is a man and suggested that

289
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: we hook up again, Like he's a man. I laughed

290
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: at him with many lols mean, very mean, and then

291
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: blocked him on everything. I don't feel bad and still

292
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: find it hilarious. So this, yeah, this person moved hometown

293
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: match with somebody she'd hooked up with ten years earlier.

294
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: He remembered it, she did not. He said, let me

295
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: prove to you that I am you know, a true

296
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: don Juan, and she said no, thanks and then blocked

297
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: him across all platforms.

298
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: Oh, we absolve you, websolve you, We absolve you.

299
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: Laughing at his face feels a little cool, but it happens.

300
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: I wonder what town, I wonder what that would be

301
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: fascinating to go on because it is such a it's

302
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: such an intimate revelation of a of a space that

303
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: you think you know right to go back to your

304
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: hometown and then get on ah, Like if you haven't

305
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: been there, if your only memories are from like high

306
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 4: school or whatever, and then all of a sudden to

307
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: be like this, These are the human beings whose lives

308
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: are on display for you.

309
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: Now. It is what a what a very interesting moment

310
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: it is.

311
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: And time keeps from Yeah, time keeps moving. I went

312
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: home ten years ago or so, and I don't go

313
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: back to Maryland all the time. And I went home

314
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: and I sat down. My dad picked me up from

315

Speaker 2: fun one. Well, this one's I like this one, okay, went.

347
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: This is a dating Blunder went to college in Michigan's

348
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: Upper Peninsula and match with a guy who wanted to

349
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: go hiking on our second date. Fellow murderinos. I know,

350
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: huge red flag, but I'm super outdoorsy. And the hike,

351
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: he suggested, I had done dozens of times, so I

352
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: got a little high beforehand. When we were there, he

353
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: suggested we took take an alternate path, not an official path,

354
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,359
Speaker 2: around the front of the mountain in a long lake superior.

355
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: So far, very lovely date, taking that side path, little sketchy.

356
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: As we're around this trail and reached the lake, my

357
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: high really kicks in hard. We were basically hopping boulder

358
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: to boulder a long lake Superior, and I was taking

359
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: the slowest intentional steps, trying not to fall. I realized

360
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: I was dragging behind, so I sped on up. In

361
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: my haste, I slipped on a rock and dropped into

362
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: the freezing October water of the deepest great lake.

363
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: I dragged. Period.

364
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 4: Is so so cold, even in the middle of summer.

365
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 3: It's so cold.

366
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: October, I know, and you're high and you're on a day.

367
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: This is I mean, the ad adrenaline pop that must

368
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: have hit right falling in the water. I dragged myself.

369
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: It's a sipping wet, but I think sopping wet out

370
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: of the water and.

371
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: Was determined to preserve and finish the hold on.

372
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: There's a typo here, okay, it says finish the hole

373
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: down below it says hike.

374
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

375
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: I was preserve and finished the hike, which I did.

376
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: This guy definitely thought I was an uncoordinated klutz. Great

377
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: word klutz is such a great word. But later I

378
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: was able to explain that I was just an experience

379
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: higher who was high as a kite. I don't know

380
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: how much he believed me, but he was not the one. Anyways.

381
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: Good for you. You are absolved. That's just embarrassing.

382
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

383
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: No, you're totally absolved, My god, but that sounds so

384
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: much fun to do. I remember the first time I

385
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: got high was in Isle Royale, fourteen years old.

386
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: By Royale, it's the I think it's.

387
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 4: The most northern point of the of the United States. Wow,

388
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 4: it's in Lake Superior, Oh, Okay. And I went there

389
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: with my dad. My dad's from you know, lives in Michigan.

390
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 4: And I was there with my brother in law and

391
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 4: we got high and the most magical experience ever saw

392
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 4: the Northern lights.

393
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: Wow. Wal, I mean the first time.

394
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: I probably the reason I was so such an AVIAD

395
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: drug user.

396
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

397
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first time I got start, I saw the

398
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: fucking Northern lights and there was like all these people

399
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: laying out on a dock looking at them.

400
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: It must have been so nice.

401
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 4: But during the day we would go swimming, and this

402
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: was August. Hot hot, hot, hot hot. We would go swimming,

403
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: would jump into this water and it was like the

404
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: crystal blueness of it.

405
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: It was comparable to the Bahamas.

406
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: Like that's yeah, the Caribbean one hundred two hundred foot visibility,

407
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: beautiful rocks going into this cold water and you, oh,

408
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: it is Aisle Real. I mean this was in the nineties,

409
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 4: but I hope it's still great. You would jump in

410
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 4: and within moments you would be broken. We would have

411
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: to come inside and like sit wrapped in a in

412
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 4: a towel for like thirty minutes before we get like

413
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 4: our core body temperature back up so cold.

414
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine like headaches in your feet. You get

415
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: like ice cream headaches all over your body.

416
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 4: And you're talking to a person who would surf in

417
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: New York City in twenty degree weather in the snow,

418
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 4: and I very much enjoyed that.

419
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: I want to go to Isle Royale. It sounds very very.

420
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: Cool, dude, It is really really cool. Regal.

421
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: It sounds regal.

422
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: You could take a boat there, or you can take

423
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 4: like a boat plane whatever you call those seaplane seaplane plane,

424
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 4: I guess you call it a lake plain lovercraft.

425
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: You could take a lot of things there. Yeah, that

426
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: is one part of the country that we have not explored.

427
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: Me personally, I've never explored like northern Wisconsin, northern Michigan,

428
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: northern Minnesota. One summer, maybe we'll get Albertina and Jojo

429
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll go up there. We will do a

430
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: dumb tour of like little bars up there where we
