Speaker 1: How is that culture? Yes? Goodness, let's call ding dong
Speaker 1: cultures calling man. I don't know how to say it
Speaker 1: other than to just sort of say it. Just come
Speaker 1: out and say what happened, which is three hours ago
Speaker 1: I was in a car accident I'm fine. My car
Speaker 1: is totaled. It was not my fault. I was driving
Speaker 1: down the road. I've approached the intersection and the person
Speaker 1: that was crossing the intersection in front of me had
Speaker 1: to completely run a stop sign. I had no time
Speaker 1: to stop. It was just like it's one of those
Speaker 1: nightmare intersections that are somehow existing and they're rampant. It's
Speaker 1: the beginning of Aaron Bracovitch. That asshole smashed in my
Speaker 1: fucking neck. I'm so sorry, like a bad out of
Speaker 1: hell in that, in that calm demeanor. This is why
Speaker 1: she won the oscar, Like a bad out of hell. Wait,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about Julia. We're talking about you. The
Speaker 1: Julia of today was certainly me because of the way
Speaker 1: what just happened happened. Luckily, I'm fine. All I have
Speaker 1: is my air bags both blasted off. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you saw the photo you sent me, the photo
Speaker 1: airbag culture. No one talks about, No one talks about
Speaker 1: the force. I feel like we've erased air bags from
Speaker 1: the conversation in the last I don't know, fifteen years.
Speaker 1: It's like I forgot the airbags existed until today. When
Speaker 1: you show me the pictures. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: those those those giant things are in the car. Oh
Speaker 1: and when they What they don't tell you is after
Speaker 1: the airbag explodes in your face and on your legs,
Speaker 1: because that's where I got my little contusion and was
Speaker 1: cut open the aag. What they don't tell you was
Speaker 1: then after it goes, the air bag is like smoke
Speaker 1: is coming from it, and it smells like something that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be smelling in a car. That smells like hospital.
Speaker 1: It smells like hospital. Unfortunately, the guy who caused the
Speaker 1: accident was hot. No we do. He looked like John Legend.
Speaker 1: He looked exactly like John Legend. He almost killed you.
Speaker 1: I don't care how he looks, but can you imagine
Speaker 1: if it had been John Legend? I would have been like,
Speaker 1: fuck you, John Legend. You hurt my friend. I'm sort
Speaker 1: of speaking to you now from the perspective of someone
Speaker 1: who's just been through that. I'm so glad you're okay.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad. I'm so sorry about your car. The
Speaker 1: car is unfortunately busted. I may post a picture about
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. I just I want to. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to freak my mother out. The most thing about it
Speaker 1: before I told her, which would be you are that.
Speaker 1: You are the Julia Roberts of February one, You are
Speaker 1: the Julia Roberts of today. I guess I'll do my
Speaker 1: best too from this point going forward to continue to
Speaker 1: honor that legacy and like save a bunch of people
Speaker 1: in a small town from hexavalent chromium. That has to
Speaker 1: be my next move, I think, is that's Matt Rodgers
Speaker 1: next move. But Matt, I'm so glad you're here. Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you good? Are you okay? Well? What do you
Speaker 1: need from me? What I need from you is just
Speaker 1: exactly what you're doing right now, because you are a
Speaker 1: real sister, and I want to say you are here
Speaker 1: for me, and you you were very concerned, and you
Speaker 1: texted and you were you were very concerned. My my
Speaker 1: whereabouts shout out to grant a title. Then my other
Speaker 1: real sister who came and picking it up was there
Speaker 1: in minutes. And I'll tell you what was keeping me
Speaker 1: going throughout the ordeal that this episode was happening today,
Speaker 1: and literally right before I died, I did see our
Speaker 1: guests before death. Yeah, and she was like teasing me.
Speaker 1: She was like an angel of death. That was like
Speaker 1: to say that if you don't really mean it. I
Speaker 1: first of all, it's not about meaning it. It's about
Speaker 1: what I experienced. Let him, let him say it only
Speaker 1: if it really happened. It happened, and it's my experience.
Speaker 1: And you you don't exist yet because we haven't introduced you. Okay.
Speaker 1: The only way you exist right now is in my
Speaker 1: dream that I say, just saying, I hope you're not improvising.
Speaker 1: I hope it really happen. To stop it now. I
Speaker 1: don't improv I don't do improvise, doesn't improv He doesn't improvise,
Speaker 1: doesn't improved. I only say my experience. I'm like Lena Dunham. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is my life. That's what Lena says. Whatever she
Speaker 1: does a project, she says, this is my life. It's
Speaker 1: rule of culture. Number twenty two says this is my
Speaker 1: life in all her projects and all her projects. Okay,
Speaker 1: my lips theresiped so as division. Yes, I'm saying I
Speaker 1: saw our guest sort of beckoning me or teasing me
Speaker 1: to come into heaven, and I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna let her trick me there. She's very tricky.
Speaker 1: The guest she if she can talk you into doing
Speaker 1: anything and really convince you that she's anyone, It's true.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the range today. I was like,
Speaker 1: she's played everyone from from Demilovado to to the to
Speaker 1: the met the girl down the street to the girl
Speaker 1: down down the street, and you know what, every time,
Speaker 1: I just find it very tricky and untrustworthy. It's like,
Speaker 1: if she can trust if she's Meg, why are we
Speaker 1: seeing all these other people and why does she know
Speaker 1: what it's like to be them so much and so good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. The questions remain, No questions remain. Okay, front runner,
Speaker 1: the questions. She she's truly sensational. We love her, You
Speaker 1: love her. Doesn't have a lot of credits, but she
Speaker 1: does wear a lot of lipsticks. What she lacks in credit,
Speaker 1: she makes up portant gloss and gloss. Well. She's She's
Speaker 1: on i G. She's the Queen of i G Live.
Speaker 1: She's the Queen of her podcast, Confronting Demons. We love
Speaker 1: her so much she is. She's the queen of her podcast.
Speaker 1: She's the queen of her podcast, queen of her own podcast.
Speaker 1: She's but still a queen. You can still rain on
Speaker 1: a hiatus and during a break. Yes, that's what balmorl
Speaker 1: is for. That's what Balmorle is for. She's the queen
Speaker 1: of the Bicons. Everyone welcome and the America Worker and
Speaker 1: dropped out, everyone welcome into your ears mag You guys,
Speaker 1: I don't normally I don't normally come in before I'm announced,
Speaker 1: but I was listening to just to tell episode and
Speaker 1: you know what she said, a bad example of stupid bitch,
Speaker 1: And you guys were like, yeah, we want to experiment.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, well I guess I'll come in.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're just pushing us forward. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry you got in a car crash today.
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't have wore this like crazy hairstyle if
Speaker 1: I knew. I just feel like I would have worn
Speaker 1: something different. What would you have worn? Like what would
Speaker 1: have been different? That kind of like, oh god, honey,
Speaker 1: what do you think that's could sort of be like
Speaker 1: a comforting like discinal image for me right now, like
Speaker 1: you would like a glorious sun at or hair is
Speaker 1: like back or something. I'm like ready to part and
Speaker 1: then well you know what, and I'm gonna I know
Speaker 1: I'm talking too much because I'm so excited, but it's
Speaker 1: reminded me of there's this guy that I'm kind of
Speaker 1: sexting and the other day he was like, Hey, um,
Speaker 1: I just got in a car crash. To tell me
Speaker 1: about the day, Babe was like like like, didn't really
Speaker 1: want to talk about it, but was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: got a car crash, L O L. How I can't
Speaker 1: wait to be seeing like not that we're seeing each
Speaker 1: other obviously quarantine, but it was really making me worry
Speaker 1: that they would present that information like that because honestly,
Speaker 1: it's like you don't know people you can't always get
Speaker 1: tone across with. So he could be like I was
Speaker 1: just in a car crash and be in a hospital.
Speaker 1: Just be like I was in a car crash and
Speaker 1: be at home sort of making dinner. Like you don't
Speaker 1: know what is physical whereabout? All you know is he
Speaker 1: said L O L. But like he couldn't possibly be
Speaker 1: laughing about it, even if it was small. Even if
Speaker 1: it was small, what is that called? Should we name
Speaker 1: this thing where we're let's just say, guys, anyone, anyone's
Speaker 1: like this horrible thing happened to me, tell me what's
Speaker 1: going on with you? It's like it's not it's like
Speaker 1: deflection meets like burying the lead, or it's not it's
Speaker 1: not those things. But if people do this all the time,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, we have to like name this for
Speaker 1: what it is and actually be like wait wait wait,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no, no, we have to talk about the
Speaker 1: thing that happened to you because they want to write
Speaker 1: like they don't want to us to really be like
Speaker 1: l O L that's crazy. I had like such a
Speaker 1: weird day, Like they don't really want us to ignore that, right, No,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's them feeling like they
Speaker 1: have to do their due diligence of letting you know
Speaker 1: what happened, but they don't want to explore and that
Speaker 1: is something that's sorry but seek treatment. Yeah, yeah, really
Speaker 1: is back? Should we start ignoring? Like if someone says that,
Speaker 1: should we ignore what they said at first? Like you
Speaker 1: know what, if you want to move on? Doesn't they're
Speaker 1: ask They're like it's like a test almost, you know
Speaker 1: of course, like my god, are you okay? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 1: He was okay, totally totally as they say, as they
Speaker 1: say all over, as they say it everywhere in the world,
Speaker 1: he was totally okay. What Christel, Can you talk about him?
Speaker 1: You know, it's somebody that I haven't met since quarantine.
Speaker 1: You know, we're all quarantined, of course because little pandemic. Yes,
Speaker 1: And you know, so if you're listening to this years
Speaker 1: from now, it is the pandemic. If this is sort
Speaker 1: of it needs to be a time capsule for you.
Speaker 1: We're totally within the clutches of the pandemics. Though. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard of the coronavirus, it's sort of
Speaker 1: the sort of like the flip why worse. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: he's just this. So I've always I always have like,
Speaker 1: oh I have to date somebody in the entertainment. I
Speaker 1: have to date someone a comedian. They're the only people
Speaker 1: that get me. So this is the first person I've
Speaker 1: talked to that's a firefighter and not in comedy. And
Speaker 1: I think it's so hot and he's really he's a firefighter.
Speaker 1: I think that might be the hottest. And weake face
Speaker 1: his face time, and he's like so hot it can
Speaker 1: barely speak. But then it's like, I know, I used
Speaker 1: to like that, I don't know, kind of weird and
Speaker 1: they're hot to me, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: used to like you're hot to me because you're lucky
Speaker 1: snake on freak. Yeah, but he's like actually hot, He's like,
Speaker 1: he's like someone, Samantha, what on sex and the yes, yes, exactly, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: She'd be like, come on, honey, come on me. He
Speaker 1: speaks like he's a hot firefighter he speaks. I was like, sure, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that would be me. But that would be so I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess takes the datum firefighter who talked Samantha. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go put out the fire and then put
Speaker 1: out myself all over town. The only replacement I know
Speaker 1: we talked about this, that there's no replacement for Samantha.
Speaker 1: I think it's the only option. Is mag is mad.
Speaker 1: You don't even explain Amantha exactly like yeah, opening line.
Speaker 1: I think that's the only thing that makes sense. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes sense everyone. I think to everyone,
Speaker 1: no one will question it. Because my cousin dead from whatever. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're there. You're there to pick up her dead body,
Speaker 1: and you just never that's the that's the reason why
Speaker 1: you're there, and you just don't leave to pick up
Speaker 1: dragging her body. Someone's gonna go pick her uf you
Speaker 1: the closest family member. They make them pick that. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you were the closest cousin by bluff And I
Speaker 1: explained that, and you explained that the series takes place
Speaker 1: over the course of two years, and the entire two
Speaker 1: years you are dragging the body around. Yeah, that's like that.
Speaker 1: That's like the diagetic of the show is like it
Speaker 1: starts where she starts dragging the body, and it's only
Speaker 1: when she has dragged the body all the way home
Speaker 1: and they in the show Samantha really find her resting place.
Speaker 1: That's that's how they involved love that. But I'm also
Speaker 1: always looking for sex to define the show. Where can
Speaker 1: I get late and lay this body? You know? And
Speaker 1: the guys are always like, what's with that? And You're like,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, shush up. I have a blonde wig,
Speaker 1: but it's on top of my head, no hair tucked
Speaker 1: in it. It's becoming clearer and clearer that this is
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes sense. You guys saying that
Speaker 1: makes me think maybe I have a chance. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know that they don't. I'm not Matt Rogers over
Speaker 1: here being not meaning it. I mean it. I mean
Speaker 1: it all the way, this is the campaign. This is
Speaker 1: what you don't understand. Buzz does start here like Buzz starts.
Speaker 1: We start all the time. Like when we were in
Speaker 1: the final round. We were in the final round, Disney
Speaker 1: was we're about to time of contract with Disney to
Speaker 1: be Flotsam and jets serious, we were about the time
Speaker 1: of contract and basically Disney at the last second decide
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do the characters at all. I
Speaker 1: believe for real. I know Bone's taken no, but I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds like it was real. I'm shaking my head
Speaker 1: because I'm remembering the chemistry we did. Yea his head
Speaker 1: like it couldn't have been better than the loved us.
Speaker 1: Hally was obsessed with us. Everyone was so obsessed. They
Speaker 1: were all running over even assistance being like, we are
Speaker 1: obsessed with you. Everyone was telling us we are so
Speaker 1: obsessed with you. Everyone is no one is talking about
Speaker 1: anything else because of the obsession. That is was it's
Speaker 1: a big problem. And we're like, okay, okay, give us
Speaker 1: the contract. And then in the costumes already Bowen knows this.
Speaker 1: Um Bowen basically called ahead and really graphic because the
Speaker 1: more graphics, so he designed the costumes, and what was
Speaker 1: your take on Flotsam and Jetsam. You had a very
Speaker 1: strong aesthetic take. My take on Flotsam and Jetson was
Speaker 1: like very like Iris van Herpin, like a lot of
Speaker 1: like flowy lines. But then but then, but then you
Speaker 1: can see clear anus. There's a clear ans on both
Speaker 1: of them. Because remember the movie, that's when they were
Speaker 1: like where's the so for this movie they were like,
Speaker 1: We're really we're not going to have anyone asking the
Speaker 1: question where's the butt hole. It's gonna be do your
Speaker 1: own costumes for it. These are That's how all movies are.
Speaker 1: I have really for a real thought about being like,
Speaker 1: should I just ask my manager if you can get
Speaker 1: me an audition for any part in Sex and the City,
Speaker 1: maybe get me in them. I want to be in
Speaker 1: the writer's room and just like, I don't know, you
Speaker 1: need to be the star. You're in it in a
Speaker 1: huge way. I really feel like I need audition for
Speaker 1: something a barista, a bartender. You're Samantha Jones, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what add the sex to. I want to
Speaker 1: be the new sex pop character. Oh god, she's bringing
Speaker 1: even more sex than ever before. Was bisexual on the
Speaker 1: show besides that one, right, it's but it's like it's
Speaker 1: it's like you, as the bisexual of the show. The
Speaker 1: audience at home will just be hooked because they don't
Speaker 1: know who's going to get next. You know, it could
Speaker 1: be anyone. I really do think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I know we're joking, but I'm like, I'm not joking.
Speaker 1: I didn't make this show. I think people could would
Speaker 1: watch it. Wait, Meg, we're not fucking joking, and Bone
Speaker 1: and I are upset. I mean, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna let me drag your dead body around. But I
Speaker 1: do think that to get edited, that get rewritten. Can
Speaker 1: I say something earlier? Matt was like illustrating the scenario
Speaker 1: where like, you know, the Disney exects ran out of
Speaker 1: their rooms and we're like, we're obsessed to be We're
Speaker 1: obsessed to you. That is like that is like my
Speaker 1: that's like everyone's dream right to be, like to walk
Speaker 1: into a meeting like that and have them run out
Speaker 1: to you and be like, we feel so obsessed with
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever going to happen in my life,
Speaker 1: but I feel like Meg. I feel like Meg. Once
Speaker 1: general start happening once meetings and general season begins again
Speaker 1: after when we can finally start, because it's the it's
Speaker 1: the thing we missed the most. But Meg is gonna
Speaker 1: be about MEXICOA walked into the Mexica walk into these meetings,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna run out before she even gets to
Speaker 1: the reception, and they say, we're obsessed with you. Can
Speaker 1: I tell you the truth? I got to be honest
Speaker 1: with you. Generals have happened, and let me tell you this.
Speaker 1: They'll be I'm gonna be honest with you because we
Speaker 1: should be confident, confident, confident. Honestly, they're extremely excited when
Speaker 1: it starts, and then then the meeting goes on and
Speaker 1: I go, yes, so I live in l A And
Speaker 1: I used to live in New York. Same thing every
Speaker 1: time in every meeting, and I think they're expecting a
Speaker 1: wacky girl. And I'm smiling and laughing, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going in there like, hello, God, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You're not in there just saying more answers. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: just being a human being. So I don't think they
Speaker 1: don't like me. But it's like they're so excited in
Speaker 1: the beginning, you know, what I mean, why wasn't she
Speaker 1: spouting more coherence and spouting all over the place. But
Speaker 1: it's terrible to me that, like they like that would
Speaker 1: be the normal thing to them for for any one
Speaker 1: of us to go in there and be like a goofball.
Speaker 1: And it's like, that's not that's not how we that's
Speaker 1: not how anyone talks to each other. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know what I love. You know what I love about
Speaker 1: those meetings. They they really, they really are just girl
Speaker 1: talk talk. Yeah, let's get down to it, a girl
Speaker 1: it's a girl talk. Okay, So if you could excel
Speaker 1: at girl talk, you're going to be scoring in generals.
Speaker 1: Watch I go Sex in the City. I'm still watching
Speaker 1: Sex in the City. I'm not kidding you. I like,
Speaker 1: I'm know, I know it doesn't hold up. I know
Speaker 1: it's bad, but it's so comforting. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: it's most of it is just like a great old
Speaker 1: show like that are like like products of the nineties.
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is, like that show,
Speaker 1: people still talk about the content, like people still talk
Speaker 1: about the characters. It is like lasting, and I'm not
Speaker 1: surprised people want to keep doing it. But I without Samantha,
Speaker 1: but without Samantha. Truly we were talking about this when
Speaker 1: we're talking about this last week, Matt, you and I, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about it for decades, And we
Speaker 1: talked about it last week, We're talking about it this week.
Speaker 1: Does this is going to be the cultural conversation going forward?
Speaker 1: Never started talking about the show either, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: But I mean we we are all I mean, we're
Speaker 1: all obsessed with the show. I mean like it was
Speaker 1: like the whole thing that like got me to do
Speaker 1: like shows. This sounds so obnoxious, but it was the
Speaker 1: thing that got me to do shows and like brookle
Speaker 1: In in in New York and like Little Field where it
Speaker 1: was like me and me and me and Sam Taggart,
Speaker 1: like doing a sex in the in the City show.
Speaker 1: I'm like, which sounds so stupid, but it's like it's
Speaker 1: so it's like everyone knows the language around sex in
Speaker 1: the City that it doesn't hold up anymore. I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's something special about it. Even even the second movie,
Speaker 1: which was off I've seen five thousand times and I
Speaker 1: love Yeah. When when when Kristin Davis goes, I think
Speaker 1: you're playing fire. I think you're playing fire think, can
Speaker 1: we just talk about what a wacko Charlotte is? Sure,
Speaker 1: and they're they're cruel, they hate her, they shipped on her,
Speaker 1: and she's like, these are my best friends. And she's
Speaker 1: like when she screams, no, no, I cry every time,
Speaker 1: I'm trying every time. I'm crying. Right now, she's crying.
Speaker 1: Mega's crying so hard. I've never seen anything like this.
Speaker 1: It's like she's watching the movie Big Fish. She's crying
Speaker 1: so hard. Um. But what's crazy about how the passion
Speaker 1: with which she screams that is the fact that the
Speaker 1: entire series long, they're so sh I know, there's so
Speaker 1: mean to her. I was literally just the other day
Speaker 1: talking about this. There's a scene where Carrie starts dating
Speaker 1: the old the old artists, right, the Russian guy, and
Speaker 1: they're in this perfume store and Charlotte's trying so hard
Speaker 1: to like do jokes and they literally could not care less.
Speaker 1: They're actually like she works there, and she's like, are
Speaker 1: you going to get a perfume And she's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. She's like, I don't want to date him,
Speaker 1: and then like I haven't. Did you not eat her?
Speaker 1: She doesn't want to say, and she's Charlotte even Miranda
Speaker 1: yet who was an evil person? Oh no, don't shoot
Speaker 1: on Miranda. But here and do I think you probably
Speaker 1: identify as the Miranda of course? Yeah? Absolutely. I think
Speaker 1: most most I was gonna say most normal people. I'm
Speaker 1: not normal. I feel like Miranda, out of the four
Speaker 1: of them, is the is Like I think she is
Speaker 1: like the surrogate for the audience, where it's like she's
Speaker 1: the only way. Yeah, you know, I think that that
Speaker 1: is very much carry because I think that Miranda represent
Speaker 1: but she's not. But she's actually not. Well. I think
Speaker 1: she has definitely like personality traits that set her further
Speaker 1: away from what our usual surrogate is. Like, she's definitely
Speaker 1: more self involved. She's definitely like makes choices that we
Speaker 1: don't answer, like what yes, Carrie, um. But I think
Speaker 1: Miranda is more heightened in the fact that, like she
Speaker 1: is so rational and fact driven and by the book
Speaker 1: and strict with herself and about rules that she is
Speaker 1: like I always think, like this isn't perfect, but carries
Speaker 1: it super Ego and ego are represented in those three characters,
Speaker 1: like they're different parts of her that she can choose
Speaker 1: to instinctually be they're different girls that she could be,
Speaker 1: and the show is about her navigating all those types
Speaker 1: of women that that that's what I think. So I
Speaker 1: think that Miranda does irrational things like how mean she
Speaker 1: is to Steve her like you know what I mean. Like, so,
Speaker 1: I don't think Miranda is a normal character for us
Speaker 1: to identify with unless you are deeply in Miranda. Isn't
Speaker 1: there a thing where it's like the four of them
Speaker 1: each represent like one like of the and this is
Speaker 1: a word that like the seasons. But she's like that
Speaker 1: they're like one of like the like the like the
Speaker 1: four crones and storytelling or something or or like not
Speaker 1: thrones or something. But it's like there's like a term
Speaker 1: for it, but that makes sense. Yeah, but each of
Speaker 1: them like but like yes, carries the center and then
Speaker 1: like Miranda's about career, Charlotte's about family, family, and then
Speaker 1: Santa Samantha's. This is all well trod, everyone knows this, um,
Speaker 1: but I guess we have to ask meg who who
Speaker 1: who do you identify? As we must A lot of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends will say like, oh, we're all Miranda's right,
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't know. I think there's I
Speaker 1: think I'm I used to when I was younger. I mean,
Speaker 1: I watched this show when I was like a kid,
Speaker 1: and I think I thought I was like Charlotte. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I want to be a mom and stuff, and obviously
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm so far from Charlotte. Even though I
Speaker 1: do want kids, I go into it, I start crying,
Speaker 1: But I do want kids. Yesterday we're going to get
Speaker 1: I know I will have kids. Good. You know, I
Speaker 1: do think I want Here's this is just a side note.
Speaker 1: I really want kids one day, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I want to be pregnant. That's really scary to me.
Speaker 1: That's fine, definitely want to adopt. Well. As you get older,
Speaker 1: I feel like the more and more common it becomes
Speaker 1: because women are being honest about how pregnancy is, like
Speaker 1: it's scary, Like, yeah, when I hear about how difficult
Speaker 1: some pregnancies are, I'm like, that must be like a
Speaker 1: harrowing thing to be a woman who is pregnant, has
Speaker 1: had babies or wants to have a baby. To know that,
Speaker 1: like you're going to have to like really sacrifice physically
Speaker 1: and a lot of your comfort for a long time
Speaker 1: and ultimately, like, you know, it's a lot. I understand
Speaker 1: why there's a depression after words, A lot of the
Speaker 1: time because it's so crazy. And I feel like when
Speaker 1: we were young, it was just like she's pregnant, like
Speaker 1: she might have to eat the pickler too, like, and
Speaker 1: now my babies are here and they're healthy too, like
Speaker 1: that's not Yes, I passed out when my sister gave birth,
Speaker 1: passed out real, got a concussion. I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 1: Literally couldn't stay awake the next day, and nobody believed
Speaker 1: me that. Like my mom was like, I caught your
Speaker 1: head before it fell. I was like, there's no way
Speaker 1: you did. I'm like, really passed out from because I
Speaker 1: was holding one of her legs up. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: She wanted me in the room, so I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's my first nephew. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: we ya, Yeah, I'm excited. I've never seen anyone give birth.
Speaker 1: This is gross. Like I was driving from Chicago to
Speaker 1: Ohio to watch her give birth. I didn't really eat
Speaker 1: that much that day, So there's that that's already shaky
Speaker 1: leg up, blood sugar low. I'm literally stuttering at the
Speaker 1: thought of this again. It was so traumatizing. But then,
Speaker 1: of course my favorite person is born. But yeah, I'm shaky.
Speaker 1: You haven't really eaten holding her leg up, the nurses
Speaker 1: holding her other leg, and I feel dizzy, and I
Speaker 1: look at my mom, who's all the way across the room,
Speaker 1: and I say, I think I'm about to pass out,
Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, my sister needs you. I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: you did. The second she said that, my body, it's incredible,
Speaker 1: bodies will work like that. Well, my body knew, oh,
Speaker 1: she's not gonna help me. Passed out onto the floor
Speaker 1: right when she said that, because you're honestly you need
Speaker 1: to rest now. Literally, Yeah, oh my god. That is crazy.
Speaker 1: And so were you physically out for when the moment
Speaker 1: of birth hues. It's so long when people give birth.
Speaker 1: Don't realize you don't realize. No, it's hours of holding
Speaker 1: her leg up and I was just sitting in a
Speaker 1: rocking chair the rest of the night. Started taking in
Speaker 1: the sights from from so if I had seen that,
Speaker 1: I feel like that would that would make me anxious?
Speaker 1: About the smells? Did I get to that? That's that's
Speaker 1: the gross part is the smell of the blood, like
Speaker 1: the blood. It's like, this is the most dangerous thing
Speaker 1: of someone could do. It is so wild. You are
Speaker 1: leaking fluid out of it, like goshing blood. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And I remember when my mom she she explained to
Speaker 1: me that sometimes women poop when they give birth, and
Speaker 1: like a little I don't feel like a little fact
Speaker 1: feel like you that's disgusting. Why are they that's sucking gross?
Speaker 1: They should not poop. They should not do it. Just
Speaker 1: doesn't this poop. And then you actually see it and
Speaker 1: it's like fucking the poop. At the least they aren't
Speaker 1: worries so truly, like what can't smell poop? It is blood.
Speaker 1: It is like a blood. You are metally blood smell,
Speaker 1: lily blood smell, and you're saying that it's it overpowers
Speaker 1: the poop smell. I don't even know if there was
Speaker 1: any poop involved. Forget she was and she was isolated
Speaker 1: to just one experience. Yeah, I think did that though,
Speaker 1: But I again, like I bet you wouldn't even know,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't, I mean, but anyway, Okay, so then you're
Speaker 1: watching this happen, and then the baby is born and
Speaker 1: the actual act of the baby coming out of the
Speaker 1: vagina is the craziest thing ever, because I have seen
Speaker 1: this happen, like in health class, that baby shoots out
Speaker 1: sometimes yeah, yeah, I can't really yep. And some videos
Speaker 1: you can look up videos of births, they go, how
Speaker 1: did they catch them? How did they there? The woman
Speaker 1: is there, she's in the pose, she's in the crouch
Speaker 1: pose at the very foot of the as a midwife,
Speaker 1: not always a woman. Wow, thank you and thank you
Speaker 1: literally literally sister life that you only accountable hashtag after after.
Speaker 1: So I we're talking about this. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have kids either. I mean I wasn't like in that
Speaker 1: space to begin with, but now I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think I would want I would want to put
Speaker 1: someone else through that either. I wouldn't want to hire someone.
Speaker 1: I don't think if I was Bow and Yang I
Speaker 1: would I would just want to notice my fabulous life. No, seriously,
Speaker 1: because I think that your life is going to be
Speaker 1: so fabulous that I think that you should just be
Speaker 1: living that fabulous life. And I don't think you should
Speaker 1: have a kid to have to give any attention to
Speaker 1: our care too, because I think you need to live
Speaker 1: your guiche for the rest of your day. It changes.
Speaker 1: I've actually like, I've never heard of kids before. It
Speaker 1: changes every changes everything, just yourself. You live for someone
Speaker 1: else at that point. How many women have had to
Speaker 1: men in the eyes and say, when you give birth,
Speaker 1: you start living for someone else. That's what that's the
Speaker 1: sacrifice do you make? Really know, some women on Long
Speaker 1: Island have said that to me. Stop living for yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is dark. I nanny for a long time,
Speaker 1: for years, full time nanny, and I got so close
Speaker 1: to them. But I'm like, I would like to have kids,
Speaker 1: like when I can afford a really nice nanny who
Speaker 1: can help, because it's so much. It really not to
Speaker 1: raise them fully, but like you need help in God,
Speaker 1: I just it's so much. If I'm gonna be married
Speaker 1: to a firefighter, he's going to be gone during the
Speaker 1: day at night some nights, oh nights, totally, totally. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he works nights too, a partners, they do both. He's
Speaker 1: working all the time. And or it's either that or
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna marry someone really like famous actor. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be on shoots when you're a shot, right believes
Speaker 1: I'm not. I love this so much. I love working
Speaker 1: so much. I'm not going to be a stay at
Speaker 1: home mom, which is what I thought I would when
Speaker 1: I was little. I don't know, I was like actress
Speaker 1: or stay at home mom, you know, right, Well that's
Speaker 1: the whole that's another whole part of it they don't
Speaker 1: tell you about. It's just how hard it is to
Speaker 1: be a mother or a parent at all. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I could cry. I see it's all my parents. I've
Speaker 1: talked to man about this. My parents have skipped all
Speaker 1: the way to the end where they're like, you should
Speaker 1: find a partner so you can raise a child. But
Speaker 1: they they've never asked me about anyone I've dated. And
Speaker 1: I like yelled at them one time and over the summer,
Speaker 1: I was like, it really fucking sucks, and it's hurtful
Speaker 1: that you like are like weirdly like ashamed of like
Speaker 1: butt secks for me. But you're like, but when are
Speaker 1: you going to have a kid. It's like it's still
Speaker 1: about like reproduction in a way, and it's like, well, sorry,
Speaker 1: like my what I do doesn't do that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: what I do doesn't do doesn't do that. My mom's
Speaker 1: kind of like she knows that I'm by and she'll say, now,
Speaker 1: like I know she knows that I'm gonna like eventually
Speaker 1: be with someone, but I just love being single and
Speaker 1: have been for so long that now she knows I
Speaker 1: love it so much that she's like, don't you want
Speaker 1: to just get a kid yourself? Like she's not, it
Speaker 1: doesn't even care about the partner, but she's like, why
Speaker 1: don't you like adopt right now? Wouldn't how wild of
Speaker 1: a move. My guests would be that it's so much
Speaker 1: more about grandchildren that we realized it's about, Like because
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you Bowen, like when when they say,
Speaker 1: like time for you to get a partner and like
Speaker 1: to have a kid settled down? Are they saying partner
Speaker 1: are like with the assumption that that this could be
Speaker 1: male or female? Or are they saying are they saying
Speaker 1: like a girlfriend? There's at this point they have they're
Speaker 1: they're like, he's going to be with a guy, which
Speaker 1: is a step forward. But then but then it is
Speaker 1: like it only is complete, it's and then it's that
Speaker 1: classic thing. This is like not unique to me, but
Speaker 1: it's like that classic thing, like it's not a it's
Speaker 1: not a real unit until there's a kid involved. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't. I'm like, I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think I want that. Um. But then my mom
Speaker 1: was like, well, you should maybe think about like hushed tones,
Speaker 1: being like you should maybe think about storing your sperm.
Speaker 1: Just so it's like I don't, like, mom, like, we
Speaker 1: don't have to get to that level yet. It's a
Speaker 1: real concern for that generation sometimes, like I haven't heard
Speaker 1: that from my parents yet, but I think in a
Speaker 1: in a world where I was ready for that, it
Speaker 1: would it would probably be like a good thing. Yeah, Meg,
Speaker 1: have you noticed that your mom has had this conversation
Speaker 1: with you since your nephew was born or has it
Speaker 1: been that way the whole time? I think it's chilled
Speaker 1: out a little bit. But she'll still be like, why
Speaker 1: didn't she just move? Sometimes she'll be like why don't
Speaker 1: she moving with me? And we'll have a kid, like
Speaker 1: obviously not as a couple, that's my mom, but being
Speaker 1: like I think for her, she really doesn't kid row.
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Like, yeah, I think with kids,
Speaker 1: someone else's kids. Like it's weird because I love kids
Speaker 1: and always thought I would have like four or five,
Speaker 1: But now that I'm older, I'm like I would be
Speaker 1: really happy as an older woman with like two kids,
Speaker 1: but also like if it doesn't happen, I still feel
Speaker 1: like I've I don't know, I have enough love. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like I feel like I'm still fine. I've
Speaker 1: went after I'm going after everything I want. You know, well,
Speaker 1: you know what that makes you? And Miranda, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, we didn't talk about it. I think I'm
Speaker 1: Miranda with a little bit of um, with like some
Speaker 1: Samantha too. Oh yeah, I was gonna pag you first, Samantha.
Speaker 1: I was gonna pack you first, Samantha. I think there's
Speaker 1: a well, you know what, to be honest, like Samantha
Speaker 1: does go after what she wants, right, and she doesn't
Speaker 1: let anyone be in the way. So maybe I'm Samantha
Speaker 1: with a little bit of Miranda. And of course a
Speaker 1: late night after a breakup, I'm a carry. Everyone has
Speaker 1: carry moments where they do something, you know. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm realizing right now, Like we said that Miranda
Speaker 1: was the career one, Samantha is also a career Yeah
Speaker 1: that's why I'm thinking she goes out. Yeah she sucks.
Speaker 1: So the thing the difference of if you're deciding if
Speaker 1: you're a Miranda. There's something about like a taking seriously
Speaker 1: of life. Like Samantha is just a more she's more
Speaker 1: like I don't know what it's about. A sign. It's
Speaker 1: about assigning value to one thing over the other. Miranda
Speaker 1: signs value to her work. She's not she's less like
Speaker 1: she's like her like like she's the one who gets
Speaker 1: her her butt eaten right, and she's like, I don't
Speaker 1: like that, So she's like, so she she sucks, but
Speaker 1: she's like I have a lot of like weird hang
Speaker 1: ups around fucking, where Samantha has no hang ups around
Speaker 1: fucking and doesn't really give a shit about her She
Speaker 1: doesn't not that she doesn't give a shit about her dub,
Speaker 1: but she's secure. She's not like living day to day
Speaker 1: motivated by her career. That's where my Miranda comes in
Speaker 1: around like constantly every day, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But there's part of me, not the annoyance. This isn't
Speaker 1: the annoying part of Charlotte. But like I am a romantic,
Speaker 1: like even with like cookouts or people, I really romanticize
Speaker 1: things I really like, even though I haven't. I've been
Speaker 1: single for so long. I am like a romantic at heart,
Speaker 1: not realistic when you know, I I just came out
Speaker 1: of like a long distance like sort of thing where
Speaker 1: we never met but during quarantine talk for months, and
Speaker 1: I was so about it. But like they were realistic
Speaker 1: and they were like, you know, even though I think
Speaker 1: they could have went about it differently, and I act
Speaker 1: like they're listening, but like they were realistic, being like
Speaker 1: we don't live by each other. It's a pandemic, like
Speaker 1: let's try to talk to people that live by this.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'm so into you, like I could
Speaker 1: do this whatever. But part of me is you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it's romantic of me to think
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, what what is what is getting in
Speaker 1: the way of you and firefighter meeting up? Like what's
Speaker 1: what's happening there? So well, this is really new with him.
Speaker 1: But he just seems a little bit different than the
Speaker 1: people I've talked to, which is nice. He's kind of like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to waste your time like into like
Speaker 1: sort of more. Um, I don't know, it just seems
Speaker 1: like he knows what he wants. I think the thing
Speaker 1: of meeting up is just being a pandemic and like
Speaker 1: what do you what is everyone doing or people getting
Speaker 1: tested or are they meeting once? Like I just I've
Speaker 1: only online dated during quarantine, like I really haven't, So
Speaker 1: it's kind of scary to me. He is in l
Speaker 1: A and he doesn't want to get tested in me um,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm a little nervous. I want to, But
Speaker 1: I'm also like really really like COVID safe of course,
Speaker 1: of course in a good way, A good freak, no
Speaker 1: good freak. I think that for me what I do
Speaker 1: when I'm going to see other people as I just
Speaker 1: make sure that I haven't like left that pod for
Speaker 1: two weeks and have literally nothing can happen at that point.
Speaker 1: So if I feel like if he was into it,
Speaker 1: you could just be like quarantine the timer on the
Speaker 1: fuck two weeks starting from now. We've talked about that.
Speaker 1: We've talked about being like I'll test like whatever you
Speaker 1: need me to do to be comfortable. The thing is,
Speaker 1: then you have to do it. You have to put
Speaker 1: it on the books, because then you know it's it's
Speaker 1: you're being nervous for other reasons that you actually don't
Speaker 1: want to do. Kind of talked about like in another
Speaker 1: week or so perfect, but only because I've like fully quarantine.
Speaker 1: And the other thing was I told him, like, what's
Speaker 1: weird about dating right now is that I've had to say, like,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not asking you to be exclusive, but
Speaker 1: if you're hooking up with people like I don't, I'm
Speaker 1: so safe about it that I don't. And he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not meeting anybody else, and like I would and
Speaker 1: I'm eating anybody. But this was recording. We weren't just
Speaker 1: hanging out. But that's how the truth, and he is saying,
Speaker 1: my body only belongs to one one. I just think
Speaker 1: if you are casual dating right now, you have to
Speaker 1: really plan it out, Like you can't just you absolutely
Speaker 1: one person. You can't be hooking up with different people.
Speaker 1: You can talk to whoever you want, but to meet
Speaker 1: up you can't right now. You can't. You can't, you can't. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're about to say something about Miranda that you're like
Speaker 1: Miranda in the in the ambition sense in terms of
Speaker 1: career stuff. I think that I think that's it. It's
Speaker 1: like I think I have the attitude of like do
Speaker 1: what you really want to know? Rule Samantha Grandon The
Speaker 1: work and then Charlotte Romance, the like a little bit
Speaker 1: of the romantic sort of do anything, you know, like
Speaker 1: it'll work out. It just will. It's the delusion which
Speaker 1: has gotten me this foreign comedy. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You have to you have to believe it. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna remark on how I think, and
Speaker 1: I think you agree with me. And it's not that
Speaker 1: I have the full of the land, especially anymore, but
Speaker 1: I'm just like I think Megan is like the hardest
Speaker 1: working person just period right now. I mean, well, the
Speaker 1: thing is, the thing is you are No you can
Speaker 1: say it, bitch, because you still doing it. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's one thing to have consistent output, and it's such
Speaker 1: completely other thing for it to be consistent output. That
Speaker 1: is always so funny, always, pets, always you really are
Speaker 1: just like you are. You are good for everyone's health
Speaker 1: to you last and Jesus said you need to Jesus
Speaker 1: said you need to laugh. That is one of the
Speaker 1: most famous religious songs. Jesus sad you need you know,
Speaker 1: someone commented on a video today, So I really need
Speaker 1: that because someone commented on a video and goes and
Speaker 1: this didn't hurt because it was so crazy. But the
Speaker 1: comment goes, this video is not as good as your
Speaker 1: old stuff. She goes, you need to go back and
Speaker 1: watch your old stuff and watch your timing. She she
Speaker 1: was suggesting that you go off and watch tapes of yourself. Yes,
Speaker 1: because she's like this, this requires some editing. It was
Speaker 1: basically one of the things where it was a video.
Speaker 1: You know, you have Okay, you have the videos where
Speaker 1: you cut it a bunch and there's all. Then you
Speaker 1: have the longer video where it's one take, which that's
Speaker 1: supposed to be like, it's a totally different feeling. That's
Speaker 1: the point to style the girl getting a toast of
Speaker 1: the birthday. Yes you can, then you can't. You can't
Speaker 1: cut around that. And I thought it was I gifoed
Speaker 1: multiple times throughout the fucking thing what she's talking about.
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal and she's obviously very ill. I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, though, what do you say to your critics? Oh?
Speaker 1: What what do you say to them? What I say is,
Speaker 1: you know what, it's okay, I'm not everyone's cup of tea,
Speaker 1: and I would rather be like, have people really myself
Speaker 1: means something to a smaller group than everyone. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so that's that's what you would tell them. But
Speaker 1: when what do you say to your critics? I say,
Speaker 1: to my credit, I had the thought today where it
Speaker 1: was like, because I'm getting it from these like I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say it like pro CCP, like people who
Speaker 1: are like like the equivalent of like teps in like
Speaker 1: black Twitter, but they're Asians and they're like they're they're
Speaker 1: just truly warmed in the rain and they say shipped
Speaker 1: to me like they're they're classic thing to me, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little real here. Is like like oh,
Speaker 1: Bowen's like long Duck dong one like he's like he's
Speaker 1: like he's like doing like all these characters. And I'm
Speaker 1: just like and I literally said out loud today because
Speaker 1: like I saw one of these and I was just like,
Speaker 1: you ugly motherfuckers never talk to me ever, Never talk
Speaker 1: about me, You never think about me, live your pathetic lives.
Speaker 1: That makes me so mad. It's it's just like I
Speaker 1: get a little angry and hateful. But at the end,
Speaker 1: and then I used to feel guilty about the anger.
Speaker 1: But then like lately, therapy has been all about like
Speaker 1: accessing it or whatever. We don't need to talk about
Speaker 1: the reason. The reason why I'm I completely understand is
Speaker 1: because they're gaslighting you because you're you don't yet that's
Speaker 1: not even close to the reality of the situation. They're
Speaker 1: just jealous literally comes from jealousy. While jealousy, I don't
Speaker 1: even think it's jealousy, but I think it's them like
Speaker 1: believing something about the way the world works. Yeah. Short
Speaker 1: answer is, um, yeah, I just it's terrible, Matt. Matt,
Speaker 1: what do you say to your critics? I always say
Speaker 1: the same thing to them, which is I just because
Speaker 1: I just I went. I always give kisses to my critics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always just building a kiss. And I actually did
Speaker 1: have a lot of haters this week because I unfortunately
Speaker 1: did stir the pot with a tweet. I tweeted, if
Speaker 1: you think wand Division is boring, but watched The Irishman
Speaker 1: to the end, I don't think so, honey. And I
Speaker 1: forgot I forgot Marvel and Scorsese had that whole thing
Speaker 1: that Scorsese says that all Hollywood is Marvel. Now, well, no,
Speaker 1: he says that Marvel movies are not art like He's
Speaker 1: like films, they're like they're like theme park entertainment. Like
Speaker 1: that's what he says that, and so he picked a
Speaker 1: fight with the Marvel community, and the Marvel community was like,
Speaker 1: fuck this guy. And it just was very that I
Speaker 1: didn't mean it in an anti scores as the way.
Speaker 1: What I meant was like people will watch any people
Speaker 1: will literally watch fifteen Oscar movies in a row about
Speaker 1: like we're lesbian cave diggers who fall in love and
Speaker 1: it's the eighteen hundreds and we're both a little sick.
Speaker 1: It's very cold to it's very cold, or like this
Speaker 1: is a movie about a whale researcher who finds out
Speaker 1: he's losing his mind and he needs to still research
Speaker 1: the whales, and these movies will be nineteen hours long
Speaker 1: and people will be like did you see the Manchurian
Speaker 1: Bitch or whatever, and like people will be like yes,
Speaker 1: and did you see mank on Netflix? Of course, and
Speaker 1: they'll absorb all these screw movies saying people will be
Speaker 1: like I turned one division off of a second episode.
Speaker 1: I thought it was boring. I was like, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Like this, like like what do you mean?
Speaker 1: And so I tweeted that just using the irishman as
Speaker 1: a substitute for an ostro film. Twitter people came after you,
Speaker 1: and so all the Cinophiles, of course, had a great
Speaker 1: sense of humor about this one, and we're like wow.
Speaker 1: They kept repeating this, which makes me feel like they
Speaker 1: were like, wow, Scorsese lives in Marvel's fans heads, rent free,
Speaker 1: Scorsese living in your head, rent free, well, Marty living
Speaker 1: up absolutely rent free, and this guy's head, this goof.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is with you guys? And I
Speaker 1: did start in with one of them, and it was
Speaker 1: just the most frustrated exchange and I ended up just
Speaker 1: deleting the tweet, even though it was getting anxious, it
Speaker 1: was becoming a thing of like it was becoming a
Speaker 1: little bit of a thing of like fuck this fag
Speaker 1: with no taste. And I was just like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because I know that's not how I meant it. I
Speaker 1: know that's not how I meant it. See this is
Speaker 1: really telling, like this is we are all three distinctly
Speaker 1: different people. Because Meg's answer is very graceful, like I'm
Speaker 1: not everyone's cup of tea. Matt's answer is I don't
Speaker 1: give a ship Christmas. Mine is fuck you. You are disgusting,
Speaker 1: vile people. But I by it. I did leave up
Speaker 1: a video recently. I got attacked for days, like the
Speaker 1: biggest mistake ever. You mess with the law of things there,
Speaker 1: So I will never again. I will never do another
Speaker 1: pariod of And people are like, just you know, cool,
Speaker 1: like keep doing keep doing the videos like, but I'm
Speaker 1: like no, because I'm it was too stressful. I love
Speaker 1: the video aside, because I was like, I didn't mean
Speaker 1: it meanly, and I obviously wasn't making fun of her
Speaker 1: mental health. I love I love her stuff. And people
Speaker 1: kept sending me the video. Fifty people sent it to me, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, but these children were so mean online their kids,
Speaker 1: and that's the thing is they are children. I left
Speaker 1: it up though, because I was like, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: make me delete a video that a lot of people
Speaker 1: ask for that like, I didn't mean it meanly, I'm
Speaker 1: not If I delete it now, they're just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: look at this bitch who deleted it. Like I couldn't
Speaker 1: win with them. Can you imagine if an actual kid
Speaker 1: came up to you and said some of the ship
Speaker 1: that they say the meanest stuff. I just blocked block,
Speaker 1: blocked block. I really hope you kill yourself. It's like
Speaker 1: an eight year old. It's an eight year old literally
Speaker 1: literally just the meanest stuff they can think of. I
Speaker 1: would if the kids said that to me in person,
Speaker 1: I would laugh and exactly, yeah, So you just have
Speaker 1: to imagine that that's them. Every single one of them
Speaker 1: had her picture their avatar. Oh, the avatars are insane.
Speaker 1: Avatars are like a little picture of a counterfillar, like
Speaker 1: with a big dick, and it's just like what, like
Speaker 1: it's it's it's. It adds to the scariness of it
Speaker 1: because it does feel a little bit like who are you?
Speaker 1: What are you? When there's so many too, You're like
Speaker 1: where did they all come from? Like how so scary?
Speaker 1: And the stand culture with her is just so like
Speaker 1: it's too much. I'll never again. I think we've talked
Speaker 1: about it at length. No, I mean we're we're just
Speaker 1: examining it for what it is, because I think I
Speaker 1: think a lot of a lot of people in our
Speaker 1: circle are figuring out like oh, if you talk about
Speaker 1: any musician at all, you can't do it, or if
Speaker 1: you stand one, they will be with you forever. Like
Speaker 1: do you know who calls me king? In my d
Speaker 1: M box? Every day? Brazilian Katie Perry fans are obsessed
Speaker 1: because Katie, I guess is still massive and like they're prints,
Speaker 1: they're they're just like, you have to come to Brazil.
Speaker 1: What is it? Do they do? They think the lawn
Speaker 1: of fans? Did they think that she was going to
Speaker 1: see that and be like, yeah, be mean to this
Speaker 1: bit tell her to herself like I love minded babies,
Speaker 1: Like she would not say that to them, like what
Speaker 1: they feel like they know her, They were defending her
Speaker 1: like she was their sister. Yeah. Well, it's this thing
Speaker 1: that like we've talked about where it's like people are
Speaker 1: so attached to musicians specifically over like filmmakers and like
Speaker 1: comedians obviously or sometimes. But it's like but because like
Speaker 1: it's this thing where like music is this thing that
Speaker 1: we all emotionally process stuff through it, and we're like,
Speaker 1: are so like the music we love is the music
Speaker 1: we love. So if you come for a musician, I like,
Speaker 1: you're coming for me, And I think I think that's
Speaker 1: how they rationalize it. Yeah, But honestly, music is so
Speaker 1: personal because it happens with your listening experiences within you.
Speaker 1: So some people develop an attachment attachment to that that
Speaker 1: feels personal and like. But and sometimes I do find
Speaker 1: that if I'm ever like hurt that someone like makes
Speaker 1: it comment about my taste, which happens all the time.
Speaker 1: But like if people say, like, I really don't like
Speaker 1: this music you like, it does hurt a little bit
Speaker 1: more than than like we both liked a different movie.
Speaker 1: Like it feels personal. Like sometimes like the way some
Speaker 1: people I know go about sharing their feelings about certain
Speaker 1: things like feels like they're trying to get you a
Speaker 1: little bit with the way that they're saying you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, And if they have her picture
Speaker 1: as their profile, it's part of their personality a little
Speaker 1: like it's like, no, we're the Launa girls. Did you
Speaker 1: get Did you get any guff from from Demi fans
Speaker 1: after your Demi video? None? It's probably a worst sign
Speaker 1: for Demi. It's not wrong people found it though, because
Speaker 1: I think early on the Lana del Rey found fans
Speaker 1: found the video and shared it to all they're like
Speaker 1: the people, and so Demi just they signed like they
Speaker 1: know where to be found. Isn't it funny that how
Speaker 1: like there are some people in the stand communities for
Speaker 1: a musician who are like who have the followings and
Speaker 1: are the authorities on Lana del Rey. Let's say like
Speaker 1: there's there's like two Lana del Rey accounts that have
Speaker 1: like tens of thousands of followers, and then the rest
Speaker 1: of them are like little fan accounts that have like
Speaker 1: twenty There's like there's like a few respected names in
Speaker 1: Lana del Yes, they're one of the sources. It's also
Speaker 1: reminds me of the a A da Armist Updates Twitter?
Speaker 1: Do you guys call on Armist updates? Wait, it's so funny.
Speaker 1: It's like Ana da Armas has has deactivated her Twitter.
Speaker 1: It all started because Anna da armis unfollowed the arms
Speaker 1: updates Twitter, and it was just like the Ana da
Speaker 1: armost updates Twitter, being like Anna da Armas has unfollowed
Speaker 1: on the armist updates and just like all these on
Speaker 1: a da Armist films that were like up in arms
Speaker 1: and so now that she's unfollowed, the kind of troller. Oh,
Speaker 1: like they were spotted walking arm in arm barely being
Speaker 1: able to hold their coffees while they got to their house.
Speaker 1: And it's just like it like updates on her and
Speaker 1: this while she's in quarantine and it's insane. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's probably my favorite account. Wait, do you know what
Speaker 1: that reminds me of? There is a comedian whose fans
Speaker 1: turned against me and I love her because we did
Speaker 1: a video together and they didn't know it was a joke.
Speaker 1: And this was another thing where it's like these are
Speaker 1: kids that love her. So do you guys remember Miranda sings?
Speaker 1: I love her? She's so sweet And we did a
Speaker 1: video where it's like it was it was like me
Speaker 1: her and Denny drama, like doing like Influencer Day, and
Speaker 1: I was really annoying to them. It was like a
Speaker 1: whole set and all her fans were like this girl,
Speaker 1: they Colleen, this crazy girl is being weird to her
Speaker 1: and making her uncomfortable. You can tell calling doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be in the video. The same thing, like she
Speaker 1: has these mega fans who were like much younger, and
Speaker 1: they are totally totally like a start, what is it
Speaker 1: a fandom? There's there's bigger people in it that like
Speaker 1: you know, everyone follows them, and then like now some
Speaker 1: of them do follow me because then they realized it
Speaker 1: was a joke. So like I have some of her
Speaker 1: fans and they're yeah, really it's really wild. It's dark
Speaker 1: and it is. It is an age. No one over
Speaker 1: the age of twelve. I want to say, like, what
Speaker 1: would have that impassioned response. I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just it fills me with drad and um. But
Speaker 1: it helps you think about it like that, that they're kids,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't calm myself down to know that their
Speaker 1: kids also. I can't stop laughing at the fact that,
Speaker 1: like when you made that mean video about Demilvada, when
Speaker 1: you made that anyone come for you? No, no, I
Speaker 1: made a video setting I wanted to set bb REX
Speaker 1: on fire and no one said anything like silent totally
Speaker 1: like where's your fans? Where are they? They're not looking
Speaker 1: at my stuff? I guess because it was just yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. The Demi people, maybe because den
Speaker 1: Demi was getting it from all sides that way, because
Speaker 1: it was maybe that's it is, like the Launago Ray
Speaker 1: fans were like, she made that video defending herself and
Speaker 1: she was like not doing well. But then I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's something still scary about the way they acted. I
Speaker 1: just didn't mean the video. Mainly, I would never make
Speaker 1: fun of someone in a mean way. You are Megan's
Speaker 1: truly like pure of heart in that way, in that
Speaker 1: way should we ask the question we need to we
Speaker 1: desperately need to ask the question. Um, it's really the
Speaker 1: touchstone of our podcast, you know, this question, which is
Speaker 1: what was the culture that made you say culture was
Speaker 1: for you? Meg's talter. Okay, So I have two things
Speaker 1: that kind of tied together. So the first thing that
Speaker 1: had that was absolutely was the movie Greece. Greece and
Speaker 1: I when we saw it at the movie theater, I
Speaker 1: thought it was a new movie, like it was just
Speaker 1: like a show of it and I was a little
Speaker 1: and so that was really big for me. We would
Speaker 1: like reenact it. And I just have always loved a
Speaker 1: show like I love like, oh you're going to a
Speaker 1: show like and so dinner theater in like Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Speaker 1: was huge for me because we'd go every summer really
Speaker 1: bad shows. Tennessee was before Ohio, no, no, like we
Speaker 1: lived in Ohio, but we would go on of course
Speaker 1: Dollarwood and like all the little country dinner theater shows,
Speaker 1: like there's something called the comedy barn obsessed. Just wanted
Speaker 1: to be on stage, was just watching being like, oh,
Speaker 1: like shitty shows are still good, you know, what I mean,
Speaker 1: like it's great even if it's bad. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: to have a storyline anything. Costumes. Yeah, every summer we
Speaker 1: would go to everything there, Dollarywood, um, the Dixie Stamp
Speaker 1: heat which I know is like has bad connotations, but
Speaker 1: you drank a slushy out of a boot and like
Speaker 1: just you know, airbrush shirts, like tons of theater around,
Speaker 1: just like really crappy, like twenty minutes shows. But I
Speaker 1: was obsessed Dolly kinds of stuff in there. That's that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dollywood is like legit amusement park. They have some great
Speaker 1: roller coasters too, amazing amusement park. I always wanted to
Speaker 1: watch the shows, like I loved roller coasters, but if
Speaker 1: there was a show, but it's about the performance. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love these shows that like six Flags. I actually
Speaker 1: auditioned for one when I was in high school. Um
Speaker 1: with me and my gay boyfriend, like made our friend's
Speaker 1: mom drive us, and I sang Taylor Swift really bad
Speaker 1: for those I think it was a slow one of
Speaker 1: her slowes songs. I couldn't even show any of my range.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like, you know, what's the
Speaker 1: tear drops? Maybe then I think I started with the
Speaker 1: opening of it, like I didn't even start like seconds true,
Speaker 1: like they're like, wow, I get I'm sorry, I feel
Speaker 1: like it ties in you know the no, I don't
Speaker 1: show this makes deep sense. I have to say. Greece
Speaker 1: is one of those things Bowen, did you grow up
Speaker 1: with with a cultural understanding of Greece? Like or did
Speaker 1: Grease come later? Because with Jaws? I don't know anymore? No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, right. My sister rented Greece in the library
Speaker 1: and one day and I know exactly what Meg's talking
Speaker 1: about because I saw it and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is so exciting and fresh. It felt like a movie
Speaker 1: that I just come out. Yeah, it's it's truly, it's
Speaker 1: It's one of those movies that you can put on
Speaker 1: and like for some reason, I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: I do know so much of the dialogue, like it
Speaker 1: just stays with you. It's what, So who are you
Speaker 1: in Greece? Who? Who did you want to be? Bad?
Speaker 1: I still just like can't at the moment, I still
Speaker 1: can't like accept the fact that I probably will never
Speaker 1: be in Greece in a life that's not true? Would
Speaker 1: you do Rizzo? I think you as an adult, I'm
Speaker 1: like I would die to play Rizzo, but as a kid,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be the main one, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Sandy, So anytime we pretend, played pretend
Speaker 1: and I was in love with John Travolta, so like
Speaker 1: I was Sandy. But now like Rizzo is the part
Speaker 1: is the only part, the only part. But then Sandy,
Speaker 1: But then U s Sandy is perfect too because it
Speaker 1: goes you can play the good girl gone bad by
Speaker 1: the end very well too. And I think I think
Speaker 1: there's I think there's like a potential to do like
Speaker 1: flipped casts on alternating nights, you know, where you play
Speaker 1: Sandy one and rise open Max. And I want to
Speaker 1: say this that it's not it's not to give you.
Speaker 1: I agree with everything that my sweet sister is saying,
Speaker 1: my sister soldier just saying. But I also want to say,
Speaker 1: and this is not to reduce you, but just to
Speaker 1: maximize the project. You would be an incredib a bold Marty.
Speaker 1: Which one's Marty. Yes, I thought sexy was literally I
Speaker 1: think that you would be an incredible Marty. It just
Speaker 1: needs more lines, like if that was a meteor role.
Speaker 1: That's why I would bigger Okay on the stage you
Speaker 1: can in the I did see one. Okay, so my
Speaker 1: friend's school, this is something that could get in trouble
Speaker 1: for talking about because he might get mad at me.
Speaker 1: But he at his school they did Greece and he
Speaker 1: wasn't in it. But like they have there's online on YouTube.
Speaker 1: We watched. We've watched this multiple times. At one point,
Speaker 1: um and all the graduates came back to do the
Speaker 1: musical Greece just on Risers and it's really sad and
Speaker 1: like and I you know, but it's so good. It's
Speaker 1: like they're amazing, but like, why are they doing in
Speaker 1: the cafeteria and you guys are older and they're clearly
Speaker 1: kind of show off. But here's the thing is I
Speaker 1: posted a video one of those on Instagram. You know
Speaker 1: those videos where that's a second of the day video. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so in one of the videos, yeah, I posted one
Speaker 1: and in the background we're watching it and someone commented,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I was in that, like and someone
Speaker 1: following me on Instagram was the performance. But video in
Speaker 1: the background about one of those second of the day videos.
Speaker 1: How how did they pay attention that close? I think
Speaker 1: it's because they they've watched it. They watched that video
Speaker 1: of them enough times to recognize the literal frame at
Speaker 1: a glance to be like that, Wait, whoa, that's me
Speaker 1: and she's she was watching me fully in the background,
Speaker 1: like you see how my screen is? If the TV
Speaker 1: was all the way bah? Could you someone you followed
Speaker 1: on Instagram was watching your Grease performance where you went
Speaker 1: back to your high school and performed Greece psych I
Speaker 1: look psycho. But to be fair of that person, if
Speaker 1: I if I was, I would you like I was
Speaker 1: in that video? Yes she didn't she was, but if
Speaker 1: she's listening now, I want to say, you guys did
Speaker 1: an amazing job. The vocals were totally. The reason we're
Speaker 1: watching is it's funny that's my friend's school, Yes, but
Speaker 1: the reasoning it's you guys literally saying perfect costumes, out
Speaker 1: of control. You all have headset. Mike, I loved it, stunning,
Speaker 1: pure of heart. She would never watch it out of no.
Speaker 1: And I also love Greece, so anyone performing and I
Speaker 1: would love to watch fully the whole performance. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: What's the story behind you being the fill in for
Speaker 1: a miracle worker? Oh so in high school? I just
Speaker 1: never my drama teachers didn't like me. Everyone else thought
Speaker 1: I was saynny, but I never got the parts. There
Speaker 1: was one time I was an understudy and someone literally
Speaker 1: went out of the performance and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I get the part, and they were like, no, we're
Speaker 1: still not gonna give it to you, even though you're
Speaker 1: the understudy. Yeah, literally gave it someone else and I
Speaker 1: had a small part it. That was blinthe Spirit we
Speaker 1: did Spirit? What the funk? They couldn't even trust me
Speaker 1: to be the ghosts in Blithe Spirit? Really crazy way
Speaker 1: where did So this is something that I have to
Speaker 1: wrap my head around sometimes. So like there was a
Speaker 1: high school really doing Blithe Spirit Spirit? What musicals would
Speaker 1: they do? Like what we what were some of the
Speaker 1: ones that we did? Oh god, we did um Little Abner.
Speaker 1: The one that's a little like we shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: doing this was Aida because there was that one so
Speaker 1: many learning white kids. That's humiliating. Like I was a
Speaker 1: kid at the time being one of the singers, but
Speaker 1: we did the sound of music. I was a nun.
Speaker 1: Anything goes, I was an old woman, just total horrible
Speaker 1: parts was getting a chance? Is? It's like I was
Speaker 1: just curious because sometimes like when when I was at
Speaker 1: n y U and I knew it a lot of
Speaker 1: musical theater kids like like this Southern kids like from
Speaker 1: where I guess, from schools that did things like with
Speaker 1: big budgets. Like I went to school with this girl
Speaker 1: who was from Texas outside of Dallas, and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: last year we did the Scarlet Pimpernel and she would
Speaker 1: show me like full Broadway scale costumes, like you've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it, Like I'm sure you know the
Speaker 1: Jimmy Awards, like when those kids come from those schools
Speaker 1: and they have the costumes and like, but ever the
Speaker 1: whole production is like that, like some of the southern schools.
Speaker 1: So when you said that your school did Blithe Spirit,
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe they were one of those schools
Speaker 1: who did these we did in a low budget, like
Speaker 1: we we traveled traveled with the Miracle Worker, and I
Speaker 1: was the mom like where did you God? It was
Speaker 1: one of those things where like everyone comes with their
Speaker 1: best performance if you get in, and like everyone else
Speaker 1: had performances like what you're talking about ful costumes like
Speaker 1: are set full apart. We were in a cafeteria doing
Speaker 1: it a serious play like it's just serious play. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that is that's crazy. And so wait, you
Speaker 1: said you were the mom in the middle for my
Speaker 1: best role, Helen's mom, so you were not Helen or
Speaker 1: still not a lead, but like I was, like, it
Speaker 1: still had lines. I mean, I got the worst parts.
Speaker 1: So that was like my big senior part. Do you
Speaker 1: feel this way because I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: it's it was a blessing that I never got parts
Speaker 1: in high school, because truly, I do think it's one
Speaker 1: of those it's the drama kid version of you. You
Speaker 1: peaked at that time interesting because it gave me. It
Speaker 1: gave me a fire to be like, I want to
Speaker 1: not do this. I don't want to be in this
Speaker 1: state for the rest of my life. Yes, and of you, like,
Speaker 1: think of some of the stuff we get to now
Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, high school Megan would
Speaker 1: be so happy, you know what I mean. I remember
Speaker 1: thinking when I was like seventeen that it was too
Speaker 1: late for me to ever become an actor because I
Speaker 1: didn't start when I was like in middle school with
Speaker 1: the rest of the serious kids at the theater. And
Speaker 1: I remember thinking like I be able to go to
Speaker 1: school for acting because I didn't do it in high school,
Speaker 1: and like I always felt like, yeah, it is kind
Speaker 1: of nice to know that, like you can reassure that
Speaker 1: version of yourself that that that it wasn't true really
Speaker 1: and it didn't. I would rather be like this where
Speaker 1: you decided as an adult, I don't think anyone should
Speaker 1: be famous for their thirty When did you decide you
Speaker 1: wanted to like you know what I mean? Yeah, when
Speaker 1: did you decide you wanted to hashtag do this? I've
Speaker 1: always always wanted to act always, but I just didn't.
Speaker 1: I felt like you had to have like I was,
Speaker 1: you know, in high school, being like I don't have
Speaker 1: money to move to l A or New York, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't know. And I also I think not getting
Speaker 1: parts made me a comedian because like I was being
Speaker 1: so funny backstage with my friends, you know what I
Speaker 1: mean a lot of time to like find find a
Speaker 1: way to make people laugh. Yeah, you just have so
Speaker 1: much time to be like, well, we might as well
Speaker 1: have fun because we're like stuck here in hell? Can
Speaker 1: we don't have any lines? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like I want to be I couldn't take it seriously,
Speaker 1: Like I remember laughing so hard during the Miracle Worker
Speaker 1: during practice, like crying, laughing, like I shouldn't have had
Speaker 1: a lead role probably, you know, like I probably would have.
Speaker 1: I don't know, this was more fun, but yeah, I've
Speaker 1: always I was in one play when I was in
Speaker 1: middle school. Was it was Peter Pan. I did it
Speaker 1: when I was in seventh grade, and I had like
Speaker 1: I was one of the pirates, and I had like
Speaker 1: a very small part, and I would constantly funk around
Speaker 1: with these other two girls who were castless pirates. And
Speaker 1: then during hell Week, one of them her and I'll
Speaker 1: never forget her name was Alicia Barbera. She turned to
Speaker 1: me while I was messing around, and she said, Matt,
Speaker 1: it really doesn't feel like you're taking this seriously and
Speaker 1: you seriously, and if you're not going to take it seriously,
Speaker 1: then you probably shouldn't hang out with us, because we
Speaker 1: are going to take it seriously going forward, because we
Speaker 1: actually want to act. And I was just like and
Speaker 1: she she had up until that point messed around just
Speaker 1: as much as me, and we would we we were
Speaker 1: goons together. And I looked at her and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: you really just flipped on a switch and it affected
Speaker 1: us for the entire rest of middle school and high school.
Speaker 1: You can't look at someone different the same way after that, No,
Speaker 1: after she turned on me emotionally in that way, and
Speaker 1: also she said this in front of like four or
Speaker 1: five other people, and it was really hurtful because I
Speaker 1: thought we were fun friends in like this stupid play.
Speaker 1: And then she turned around and maybe she was self
Speaker 1: conscious about the fact that she had been messing around too,
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden she dressed me down. And
Speaker 1: as a result, I remember her full name. She will
Speaker 1: never be that kind of person. Never, never will be
Speaker 1: a comedian, never will be nothing, never, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like to take it that seriously, like we're
Speaker 1: having fun. I don't know what she does now. At
Speaker 1: that age, though, I was like a kid who turned
Speaker 1: on a fucking dime and completely shifted emotions. And it
Speaker 1: was just like I decided that I'm I'm upset. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm upset, like I was. I was
Speaker 1: that girl. What was her name, Elsa Barbera, Elsa Ribera.
Speaker 1: We're naming names. Can you imagine she's listening, Like, well,
Speaker 1: if she is listening, it probably not. And so I
Speaker 1: want to remind her that she did that, like, I
Speaker 1: just think it's funny. How do you like that to someone?
Speaker 1: Even as a kid that I mean, honestly, who's the
Speaker 1: best version of themselves at thirteen? You know, never you've
Speaker 1: never said something like that to someone. I've never said
Speaker 1: anything like even as an adult, if you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: so if I'm talking to a new friend and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to talk like ship, but I'm not saying anything mean.
Speaker 1: But if they're like, I don't know, that person is
Speaker 1: really nice, then you can't be close to them. That's
Speaker 1: the same energy as that. It's the worst of me
Speaker 1: is be like, actually, no, I'm not going to go
Speaker 1: on the strow with you. Yeah. It's like oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but even as a as an adult, you're saying that, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think they're nice. It's like we're
Speaker 1: never talking. Now, just make up something to like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know they I'm not saying anything mean. I'm just
Speaker 1: like be on my embarrassing me. They don't know that
Speaker 1: in that moment, all they've done is established the fact
Speaker 1: that they can't be trusted. Yes, yeah, I didn't go
Speaker 1: home being like wow, oh god that person is nice.
Speaker 1: For not talking bad about that other person. Literally, So
Speaker 1: if you want, the cool way to do that is
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, that's funny you say that.
Speaker 1: I actually do really like her, but but I guess
Speaker 1: that though. Yeah, but at least get on their level
Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, girl, that's funny, but that is
Speaker 1: my friend, just so you know, I don't hate you though.
Speaker 1: That's literally that's so cool, but my stomach literally hurts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's fine. It's it's gonna be like that for
Speaker 1: a second. It's the only way because then I'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh God, this person I'm talking to is really cool
Speaker 1: and really nice. I'm gonna keep talking to them. But
Speaker 1: if you were like, yeah, I don't know, then it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't trust you. You're right, it's it's hot, it's cool.
Speaker 1: It would embarrass me, but I get, but I get
Speaker 1: you always talk about someone, what if that is your
Speaker 1: If it's someone talked about my best is your friend?
Speaker 1: You know, I would want the person to know, like,
Speaker 1: you can't really keep saying that to me because if
Speaker 1: you say something, actually me and I probably will tell
Speaker 1: them they're my clost friends. That is such a good way.
Speaker 1: I literally feel like it just happened even though it didn't,
Speaker 1: because you like, yeah, I go, yeah, you're totally right now.
Speaker 1: It's being in quarantine. Everything feels real when you imagine
Speaker 1: it now, you know what I mean? Yeah, Yes, I
Speaker 1: exactly you mean yeah, because you have to. You have
Speaker 1: to recreate those social situations that aren't around. So it's
Speaker 1: like sometimes I'll just be by myself in my apartment
Speaker 1: and I'll be like, I'm jealous of myself. Myself is
Speaker 1: making breakfast and I'm so stupid. Things conflict within me.
Speaker 1: How are you going to do? Imagine something you were
Speaker 1: embarrassed about in the past and you can't shake the
Speaker 1: feeling for hours. I just can't shake it, you know,
Speaker 1: God of so embarrassed? What is the time you couldn't
Speaker 1: shake it the most? Just a bad feeling? When when
Speaker 1: when did you have such a bad feeling that you
Speaker 1: couldn't shake? You know, I will be honest, I think
Speaker 1: that now I'm better than before quarantine of self comforting
Speaker 1: and shaking stuff off, if that makes sense. That's a
Speaker 1: really sufficient Yeah. Like like this Sunday, I felt like
Speaker 1: that Sunday sad feeling right, and I let myself feel that.
Speaker 1: But then I got up, like and this was hours
Speaker 1: of letting myself feel that I get really sad, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I, um, yeah, So it
Speaker 1: was like it was one of those sundays I don't
Speaker 1: I don't get sad all the time. I'm like normally
Speaker 1: pretty productive, happy, but they have, of course pandemic and
Speaker 1: then you get really sad in your if you're isolating,
Speaker 1: it feels so intense. But now I am better at
Speaker 1: shaking it off. Then in the first part of Quarantine,
Speaker 1: where I was like panicked, Oh my god, I can't
Speaker 1: shake this Sunday feeling off. I'm alone. I need to
Speaker 1: go to Ohio right now. But now I'm like, go
Speaker 1: cook something and like, you know, talk to a friend,
Speaker 1: and it's so much easier now. But yeah, because because
Speaker 1: you've practiced it, Yeah, I think so. Do you guys
Speaker 1: feel like that too? Or am I being psycho being
Speaker 1: too a little deep and dark? I think I think
Speaker 1: that For me anyway, it's just been It's like I did.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of time to look inward, and
Speaker 1: for me, I ended up being good because I learned
Speaker 1: things about myself. I'm not sure that I'm um better
Speaker 1: at shaking off bad feelings, but I am better at
Speaker 1: understanding some things about what I need and what I
Speaker 1: actually like. I think that's what it is. It's like
Speaker 1: not being letting, not like repressing the feeling, but knowing
Speaker 1: that you'll get out of it. Whereas in the beginning
Speaker 1: of Quarantine, I was like, I'm i slating alone if
Speaker 1: I feel really sad one day, which is always like
Speaker 1: the next day, I feel better, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's not it's literally just like a little thing. But
Speaker 1: everyone has that right now obviously, and um knowing like,
Speaker 1: oh I'll get through it, and like what to do
Speaker 1: to give yourself I know that better now, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: like I feel like beginning of Lockdown, we all were
Speaker 1: like this, I'm going to feel this sad for the
Speaker 1: rest of time. And it's not that over the long
Speaker 1: term that like we've had these huge peaks and valleys
Speaker 1: like like like the deviations are like that big. But
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, like this is even in the
Speaker 1: short term, like very temporary, like I'll have a moment
Speaker 1: tomorrow where I'll feel relatively happy or relatively sad, but
Speaker 1: then I'll level back out at like this baseline that
Speaker 1: I'm at now, which like sucks, but it's not going
Speaker 1: to be for yeah, like even friends that are like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna feel this way for a couple
Speaker 1: of days, but then I'll be good. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like people are better knowing themselves and how long as
Speaker 1: the last. That is really interesting. It's like an increased
Speaker 1: patience and tolerance for bad feelings in a weird way,
Speaker 1: which is like it doesn't sound good but actually is good.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, that yes, interesting. Sad I think everybody
Speaker 1: going through I mean, we all are going through the
Speaker 1: same thing at the same time, and I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just was so panicky early on and now I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm having a sad day. I'm just gonna let myself
Speaker 1: be sad until i'm not and then like get up
Speaker 1: and do something. Yeah. Yeah that's also And also, um,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like this is weird, but just getting
Speaker 1: better at not feeling like every single day has to
Speaker 1: be the day, you know what I mean, Like it
Speaker 1: just you give yourself more of a break. That's what
Speaker 1: I've liked about this. It's sort of happened when I
Speaker 1: moved from New York to Los Angeles. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you feel meg But it's like you feel like
Speaker 1: in New York you have to have a million things
Speaker 1: on your schedule every day in order to say it
Speaker 1: was a productive day. And then in l A that changes,
Speaker 1: and then with the pandemic, that's actually changed for everyone.
Speaker 1: People have to be okay with some days in your
Speaker 1: week just fully nothing is happening, and that is I
Speaker 1: think scary for a lot of people who haven't yet
Speaker 1: dealt with some things they need to look inward on.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people stay busy because they don't
Speaker 1: want to actually sit and look at their life. But
Speaker 1: I found that it was ultimately helpful because there was
Speaker 1: a lot of things I needed to look at. So
Speaker 1: not I never to be like silver lining about this,
Speaker 1: but I do think that ultimately these are things that
Speaker 1: we can take from it that makes us a little
Speaker 1: bit better people. No, totally, we need to see that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff because there's so many scary things. Like
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know about you guys, but
Speaker 1: I um, I have a lot of social anxiety now,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I'm always a little anxious whatever,
Speaker 1: But like out if I do interact with people, not
Speaker 1: like this because we're friends, but like if I have
Speaker 1: a Zoom meeting, I get so nervous. I can't stop
Speaker 1: thinking about it. And it's like that's fun, Like I'm
Speaker 1: seeing people now, but it's it's so it's like on
Speaker 1: another level now because we're so used to reading alone. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's for me, it's like on Zoom it's always fine.
Speaker 1: It's it's now seeing people in person, like every now
Speaker 1: and then you will see someone in like some a
Speaker 1: friend you haven't seen in a while, and I'm kind
Speaker 1: of like always like what am I gonna wear? Like
Speaker 1: even my friend that I see like once a week,
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, what am I gonna wear? I gonna
Speaker 1: put on like my wearing shoes when they come in.
Speaker 1: Even coffee, I'm like shaking. I like so nervous to
Speaker 1: like order a coffee and go back home, like and
Speaker 1: I know I'll shake that off, but like it's just
Speaker 1: being out of practice of seeing new people. I don't
Speaker 1: know what. It's so weird whenever whenever, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what after COVID me means.
Speaker 1: But it's like whenever like things start to like thaw
Speaker 1: back to like some normal social environment, it's like it'll
Speaker 1: take us. I think, like I'm gonna say like five
Speaker 1: months for us for us to all get used to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm wondering if, like when dating starts again,
Speaker 1: if I'll be like or I'll be like, hey, I'm Tyler,
Speaker 1: I mean Matt, Sorry, I forgot my own name. How
Speaker 1: do how do I sit here? Like? Is it just
Speaker 1: sitting like a chair? Like and the eat fairth restaurant,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like that that might be me, or
Speaker 1: I might be like, let me smoke a starette. Let's
Speaker 1: I don't know what one on one meal already makes
Speaker 1: me nervous. Like even with friends, sometimes I want another friend.
Speaker 1: They're like the time because literally this is another thing.
Speaker 1: When you're alone with other, with one other person and
Speaker 1: it's been a while since you've been around anyone, you're
Speaker 1: kind of like, should we fuck? Always You're like it's
Speaker 1: just before wait are you? Are you guys like online
Speaker 1: dating right now? Or like I'm I'm just chatting with people.
Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm not really seeing anybody. It's always
Speaker 1: have fun to flirt with someone via text, but you're
Speaker 1: also working and you're you're you're needing to not see
Speaker 1: people it's responsible for you. Not even during the time off.
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I'm having fun just flirting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's it, and like ending it there. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's the best part. I think. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I've never seen this guy. He's listening like you have
Speaker 1: to you have to be a firefighters. That's kind of
Speaker 1: the best part, you know, waiting forever. He's like listening, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's fun to wait forever. And she's like, no, to
Speaker 1: meet physically impatient to share space. We should wait forever.
Speaker 1: So we're very like, don't go seeing anyone else. We're exclusive.
Speaker 1: Mr Distance. Yeah, you don't even want him seeing friends.
Speaker 1: Stay quarantine. He's probably get vacinating soon because he I
Speaker 1: think he's like frontline basically, don't get into this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be so hot. Well, I keep laughing like
Speaker 1: I'm pretty far down the list, like conveniens, I'm not
Speaker 1: getting that thing until everyone else gets it. It's so true.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm praying every day too, but no one
Speaker 1: here has any any pre existing healthy girls. I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you're so healthy. But the list,
Speaker 1: my physicians, the physicians assistant, I say, called today and
Speaker 1: he was like, you know, your liver enzymes are high.
Speaker 1: He was like, have you been eating and drinking poorly?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've not been drinking any alcohol since the pandemic,
Speaker 1: Like I'll have like one drink a month, So it's
Speaker 1: got to be eating, I guess. And then he's like, Okay, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's fine. But I'm saying like I guess, I guess.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a this is a totally different question.
Speaker 1: But to Meg, does him getting vaccinated? Does that help
Speaker 1: with anything? Are you still going to kick the can
Speaker 1: down the route? No? It does. I'm I'm really nervous
Speaker 1: because of COVID vaccinated. I'd be like, can't I put
Speaker 1: it anywhere? Yeah? No, I am going to probably I
Speaker 1: will probably safely one day meet him, and um I
Speaker 1: um yeah. I'm just so there was one person. Now
Speaker 1: I'm just giving everything. There was one person I was
Speaker 1: hooking up with. But this is someone I knew for sure,
Speaker 1: already knew, so like I knew she was home alone,
Speaker 1: I knew she didn't see anyone, and I knew her.
Speaker 1: But him, I'm like gaining trust, you know, learning like
Speaker 1: of course, you know, learning about him and I do
Speaker 1: trust him, but it is scary to question about the
Speaker 1: person that you were hooking up at the beginning of pandemic.
Speaker 1: Were they someone you were hooking up with pre pandemic
Speaker 1: and it rolled into the pan or was it a
Speaker 1: friend that you decided to start hooking up with the pandemic.
Speaker 1: This is good. So this is somebody who I hooked
Speaker 1: up with years ago, and there's not to say we
Speaker 1: won't start hooking up again. But here somebody who was
Speaker 1: like a past This is a girl who was like
Speaker 1: the first girl that I know I like, but she
Speaker 1: was dating just about to start dating someone else, so
Speaker 1: she was kind of already into someone. I wrote her
Speaker 1: a song like the most roman doing thing I've ever done.
Speaker 1: It was at a live show. But she's come back
Speaker 1: and what what I literally keep forgetting this is going live?
Speaker 1: But no, it's all my stuff though I haven't seen anything.
Speaker 1: But she's somebody who came back into my life during pandemic.
Speaker 1: She lives in l A. Hooking up very safely. I
Speaker 1: mean I'm talking tests talking, has seen no one else.
Speaker 1: I'm talking. We're both were looking like Arrival when it happened.
Speaker 1: We were in those big orange suits. Mother holding up
Speaker 1: the white board, holding up the white board, writing in
Speaker 1: I touched your breast. But this is like three years
Speaker 1: ago when I was like, yeah, yeah. But isn't it
Speaker 1: interesting how those early hookups, like, even if they weren't
Speaker 1: great at the time and like it ended or whatever,
Speaker 1: it always in retrospect years later seems like the hottest
Speaker 1: thing in the world. There's a couple of guys that, like,
Speaker 1: I get so horny for now when I think of them,
Speaker 1: And like I that I hooked up with like four
Speaker 1: or five years ago, that probably if we hooked up again,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be great. But it's something about the romantization,
Speaker 1: romanticization of it all. You remember everything so more like
Speaker 1: much more romantic. I think, Oh, yeah, you just want
Speaker 1: you just want to extend the memory too, and maybe
Speaker 1: not extend it, but it's like you just want to
Speaker 1: like kind of like add a new volume in on
Speaker 1: on the shelf. You know, Oh my god, do you
Speaker 1: know that song by bon Jovi? You want make a memory?
Speaker 1: You know another song? Oh my god, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you want to make a memory. You want to
Speaker 1: steal a piece of down, Yeah, the me a couple
Speaker 1: of you want to make a memory. It's really good
Speaker 1: that I didn't know that was bon Jovi. It's such
Speaker 1: a good song. And the verses are like, um, it's
Speaker 1: it's being a wow and new it's you good times.
Speaker 1: It's really just like this person is from your past
Speaker 1: that you see again and you're like, let's make a
Speaker 1: memory again. But I said that to you in real life,
Speaker 1: let's make a memory. You might be turned off. I
Speaker 1: would be I think, do you guys have a weird thing?
Speaker 1: If someone says a weird phrase, I kind of start
Speaker 1: freaking out, and I'm like, well, I ever see them
Speaker 1: in the same way. And I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: like what someone would say it's happened before where someone
Speaker 1: sets And I'm not judging either by the way. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what. I don't know what
Speaker 1: someone would say. And what if someone that you were
Speaker 1: hooking up with just turned up you looked at you
Speaker 1: dead in the eyes and was like, I love you.
Speaker 1: What would you say? I would be like, what would
Speaker 1: you say? I love you too? No? I would stop
Speaker 1: and be like, what's going on? Are you okay? And
Speaker 1: they'd say I love you. I'd be like, do you
Speaker 1: why I'd be like, why are you saying that, and
Speaker 1: why are you saying that someone is someone who I'm
Speaker 1: hooking up with it for the first time saying that
Speaker 1: like second or third time? Check? Please I go check please,
Speaker 1: I go uh uber please use. I was actually thinking
Speaker 1: more like when people say things like awesome sauce, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I'm thinking like just goofy text, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're talking about so confused at the PROSCT thing. But
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, I'm not judging any sex talk,
Speaker 1: but you you're saying like a cool beans, yeah, like
Speaker 1: to eat your ass, And I'm like the cool beans,
Speaker 1: but okay, they're awesome awesome sauces disgusting. What's some gross ones?
Speaker 1: Beck we're talking about talking about? This is ego. She
Speaker 1: hates the word awesome in general. If you say awesome
Speaker 1: at all, she hates it. And now I'm self conscious
Speaker 1: now like I'll never say the word awesome again in
Speaker 1: front of anybody. I think I say awesome a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like awesome, It doesn't like what is the word
Speaker 1: like wait, wait, meg ego nor um hates us No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's I don't think either of you. I actually don't
Speaker 1: think either of you say awesome. Not much. You're not
Speaker 1: I've never heard you describe something like when people say, oh,
Speaker 1: I have this ick, like when people do this, Awesome
Speaker 1: is not one for me. I'm fine with awesome. I'm
Speaker 1: totally awesome. I caught myself a couple of people I
Speaker 1: know say the word rad, and I caught myself saying
Speaker 1: rad a couple of times, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I need to say rad. I've tried
Speaker 1: it on. I like you guys saying rad, though, but
Speaker 1: if someone was like, I think it'd be rad to
Speaker 1: have sex with you, then it's like, maybe, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's okay, it's really awesome sauce for me, that's really
Speaker 1: there's a couple of ries you can't think of, like, um,
Speaker 1: needo skitoe. That actually too so goofy that it's fun.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start saying needo sketo, and if anyone says anything,
Speaker 1: I'll just be like everyone says that Neto sko, like
Speaker 1: letto sketo. My mom broke someone because he said something
Speaker 1: and I can't remember it was. I think it might
Speaker 1: have been like he said something like, oh I look
Speaker 1: like a goober or something like full broke up with
Speaker 1: him over it when I was younger, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess that's a thing. Like if someone says something
Speaker 1: you don't like, sometimes it's hard to get past because
Speaker 1: you know that that's like part of who they are,
Speaker 1: part of part of who you are is how you're communicating,
Speaker 1: You press yourself. So I don't know if I could
Speaker 1: be with someone that said goober. You know, what's a
Speaker 1: pet name that I never liked, But then I heard
Speaker 1: people say it and they it worked for them, and
Speaker 1: so now I'm not opposed to it. Calling someone your boo,
Speaker 1: Oh I don't that might be an ick for me,
Speaker 1: like boo, come over here. I have I have the
Speaker 1: most out of all of us. Yeah, wait, I want
Speaker 1: to hear more. What about baby? Like do you like baby?
Speaker 1: Because I know friends that don't like it, and I
Speaker 1: kind of like baby baby. It's kind of flies out
Speaker 1: of my mouth. It really doesn't matter how I feel
Speaker 1: about it. It is how I when I have a partner,
Speaker 1: It is how I refer to them like it. I
Speaker 1: know some people think it's annoying, like but I think
Speaker 1: it's a cute nickname, one that I like, but I'll
Speaker 1: say it to friends and like in text A lot
Speaker 1: that I'm like could be someone else's ick is I
Speaker 1: like to say, like Bunny is that funny? Like flop?
Speaker 1: I've never said it to like someone I'm dating you,
Speaker 1: just sits and friends in texts. I've just been texting
Speaker 1: it a lot. Buy fine, it's cute. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I think it might person I don't think I really
Speaker 1: say it in person though. My fifth grade teacher was
Speaker 1: My fifth grade teacher was named Bunny and her last
Speaker 1: name was Cornfield Bunny Cornfield ms, MS Cornfield, Miss Bunny,
Speaker 1: Cornfield woman. She was, Yeah, she was like in her
Speaker 1: r um late forties, not older, but she was just
Speaker 1: like a relative to me, being like no. Nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the time she felt so old. To you, a
Speaker 1: Cornfield is what's really freaking me Outneld, Yeah, I guess,
Speaker 1: Like you know, here's the thing about Another thing that's
Speaker 1: hard about parenting is like naming a child. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: you have a certain last name, so it's up to
Speaker 1: you to pick a first name, not just that you like,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a dynamic name altogether. Like,
Speaker 1: so if your daughter's last name is Cornfield, she could
Speaker 1: be Abigail Cornfield or like you know, Melissa Cornfield, or
Speaker 1: like Kelsey Cornfield. No, give her something that's going to
Speaker 1: have some character. Bunny Cornfield. We can literally see it.
Speaker 1: It's a bunny running through a Cornfield. Positive image with
Speaker 1: that person like it it does something for them down
Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, you want to know that middle name.
Speaker 1: She has the joke which she was always joking like
Speaker 1: everyone's like, what's your middle name is Cornfield? And she'd
Speaker 1: be like in a and we'd all have a big laugh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe she doesn't have a middle name. Some people don't.
Speaker 1: Maybe she doesn't have one, doesn't have a middle name.
Speaker 1: What's your I don't classic, classic, classic. I feel like
Speaker 1: this have that middle name. I feel like it's it's
Speaker 1: and this is just like statistic. This is not me,
Speaker 1: Like I'm just saying I think it is the most
Speaker 1: common middle name for for for women. I think it's
Speaker 1: it's a classic for a reason. Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful,
Speaker 1: because it's one of the most beautiful names in the world. Marie.
Speaker 1: It's just so it it's a very gorgeous name. Thank you. Guys.
Speaker 1: You know, I used to not really like my last name,
Speaker 1: not like hate, but I didn't. I love it now.
Speaker 1: I mean I love my last name now and for
Speaker 1: years now have But when I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: feel like I didn't really like it. I never hated it,
Speaker 1: but just I know that I didn't love it. And
Speaker 1: now it's like I love it. But yeah, your your
Speaker 1: whole name is is perfect. It just rolls off the top.
Speaker 1: I think I just was like not popular in school
Speaker 1: and middle school, and like people would say it wrong
Speaker 1: like Statlers, you know, Salter, and it'd be like me
Speaker 1: being like it's Stalter, you know, like there was just
Speaker 1: it was more about me growing up than actually not
Speaker 1: like but I do like the name. Wow, really going
Speaker 1: off about my last name. But now I do like
Speaker 1: it though. This is what it is when you're young,
Speaker 1: when you're growing up and people say your full name,
Speaker 1: you kind of like attach all your insecurities on it
Speaker 1: and then as you and then maybe when you start performing,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, this is like how people know
Speaker 1: me definitely yeah, and being so proud they know your
Speaker 1: last name and you you love it now, But when
Speaker 1: you're not, when you're not secure and you don't like,
Speaker 1: you're not in love with yourself. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You're right it with all those insecurities as being in
Speaker 1: middle school and like, I don't know, just being like
Speaker 1: not popular. Imagining another kid say your lot, like your
Speaker 1: full name to someone else, and you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: why is there like for me, why is there shame
Speaker 1: attached to that? I don't know totally now love it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: For me, I think it was two things. It was
Speaker 1: like the fact that I didn't feel special. The name
Speaker 1: Matt Rodgers is something that thousands of people have, famous name.
Speaker 1: I like, I do like it now because I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like, um, it's a three syllable er
Speaker 1: like yeah, Meg Stalter, not Rogers like, but it's like
Speaker 1: it's easy, it's easy to do, it's easy to do,
Speaker 1: sounding like a fucking absolute fool. I just think, yeah,
Speaker 1: three and four syllable names are fun to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pleasing to your ears. Yes, yes, Yang doug less
Speaker 1: game sonny, Anna, Anna has four, no five, Anna has well. Well. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I think that that was that was really important that
Speaker 1: we sort of like you know, found our names and
Speaker 1: now we're gonna find some humor with I don't think, so, honey.
Speaker 1: A humorous segment just to sort of spin around the
Speaker 1: comedy block right now with I don't think so many
Speaker 1: are fame segment where we take sixty seconds two rant
Speaker 1: against something in culture that we hate. You have something
Speaker 1: I do, I do, Okay, so I'll put you on
Speaker 1: the clock. This is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so
Speaker 1: many times starts now. I don't think so, honey. Intersections,
Speaker 1: what has ever come from them that is good? It
Speaker 1: is a confusing moment when honey, two, three, sometimes four
Speaker 1: cars arrived at an intersection and it becomes what can
Speaker 1: only be called a standoff, and at that point, sometimes
Speaker 1: it is a he said, he says, she says, she said,
Speaker 1: or she said, she says, she said, she said, whatever
Speaker 1: combination situation where some person thinks they were the first
Speaker 1: person at the intersection and another person is the same thing.
Speaker 1: Is this easy to navigate? I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: This resulted in me getting into an accident today that
Speaker 1: remember this moment. I'm so upset my car was totaled
Speaker 1: because I was at an intersection where one turn was
Speaker 1: not a right hand turn, or was only I can't
Speaker 1: even tell you how this person messed up. But they're
Speaker 1: too confusing, they're too hard to navigate. Make all roads
Speaker 1: straight or you turns or circles. That's how I feel.
Speaker 1: I don't think so intersections. I'm so sorry that happened
Speaker 1: to you. Was bringing back all the memories of earlier listen,
Speaker 1: and I want to say clearly what happened, which was
Speaker 1: we I was driving down the street. Here came an intersection.
Speaker 1: The person in front of me blew their stop sign,
Speaker 1: which by the way, was a right turn only stop sign,
Speaker 1: and they went straight and I had no attempt to
Speaker 1: break in slam. I blame intersections. I blame how confusing
Speaker 1: the stop sign was, and the fact that people be
Speaker 1: acting a fool when they approach intersections. It's just they
Speaker 1: need to be outlawed. Coming. I'm looking at you. This
Speaker 1: is what you said on one chance. That's what I
Speaker 1: said when Biden Harris were inaugurated. I said, one chance,
Speaker 1: one chance, outlawed them, outlawed the intersections. So bow and yang.
Speaker 1: Usually traditionally, after I go, you go mm hmmm. You're
Speaker 1: feeling good about that? I think, so yeah, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: that's perfect Because I have in my hands phone and
Speaker 1: I'm about to hit it, and at this time bow
Speaker 1: and yang, you're I don't think so any time starts now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Honey, toe nails. How come when
Speaker 1: i'm how come? When I'm clipping you, you smell like
Speaker 1: you smell like you could be a pretty good cheese.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be hungry when I'm clipping my toenails. You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm getting vulnerable here my toe nails. I
Speaker 1: clip him and I go the odor on this. If
Speaker 1: you didn't tell me it was from a foot, I
Speaker 1: would be like, this smells like a gorgeous career. Isn't
Speaker 1: that disgusting? I'm stops, pick your jaws up off the floor, everyone,
Speaker 1: and listeners and readers. I have a superpower, and my
Speaker 1: superpower is my toe nails smell like cheese. It's not photodor.
Speaker 1: No stop it. You are you cannot make me feel
Speaker 1: I don't think so many to nails and then okay,
Speaker 1: but beyond that, when I collect you in my hand,
Speaker 1: it just feels so gross. I'm saying it's gross. I'm
Speaker 1: saying it's gross, and it makes me feel a shame.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I I should not want to
Speaker 1: eat this? And this. I'm looking you in the eyes
Speaker 1: right now. We all feel that way, we just don't
Speaker 1: say it. You don't say you feel this way. Do
Speaker 1: you feel to smell like the most amazing cheese? If
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you're Meg, Meg, you stay hot. If
Speaker 1: anyone is in denial about this listening, you are the closet,
Speaker 1: your feet smell like the most amazing cheese, and you
Speaker 1: can sort of smell that. Well, there's so much body
Speaker 1: horror in this episode, not being a little clean girl.
Speaker 1: But I have never thought about that. Maybe maybe it's different, girl.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've never thought about your little naughty
Speaker 1: but I certainly didn't think that. But I'm not judging you.
Speaker 1: I'm just a little surprised. What part of your body
Speaker 1: smells the best that you might think of eating? Um?
Speaker 1: What part of my body's saying part of my body's body.
Speaker 1: What's the part of your body where you don't mind
Speaker 1: the smell. Well, I guess I'll say this, it's sometimes
Speaker 1: it's cool to smell bad if it's yourself, Like I
Speaker 1: would say that if my arm pits smell, it's kind
Speaker 1: of like And I'm just trying to be kind of
Speaker 1: a little bit saying a gross thing because y'all did.
Speaker 1: But um, but like if my arm pits smell, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like if I'm not going anywhere, Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Why did that happen? It's not that I'm not even
Speaker 1: turned off, not to know, no end do, but it's
Speaker 1: almost like a science. It's kind of like a where's
Speaker 1: that coming from? Yeah, it's like, wow, that's my body
Speaker 1: can like when you have you ever had like your
Speaker 1: bio changed differently and you're like, what have I done different?
Speaker 1: It's it's more interesting then turned on. But um, what
Speaker 1: if I'm just making this up to like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we will smell our own bodies and sometimes want
Speaker 1: to eat ourselves. What about you? What part of your
Speaker 1: body You've got to make kind of regulation? Yes, well,
Speaker 1: part of your body. I just want to say I've
Speaker 1: never done it. I've never eaten my toe nails. Everyone stopped,
Speaker 1: put your pitchforks down. Oh I have put your matt Matt.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like a fucking slob though. When I was
Speaker 1: younger and I can't talk about this. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: we can't talk about this. I think it's time for
Speaker 1: mag Okay, I'm nervous I wrote it out. I tried
Speaker 1: to do a real one, because remember on your show,
Speaker 1: Your show Live, I did like a silly one. Blood
Speaker 1: was coming out of my mouth like sort of was
Speaker 1: one of the most iconic. You really stormed the barn
Speaker 1: wanting to have sex with my brother? Was that, like,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. My teeth bleeding every time
Speaker 1: I had something something like my doctor says, I my
Speaker 1: teeth cleat every time I have sex with my brother
Speaker 1: or something psyche. But it was like a prank that
Speaker 1: was blood. But I tried to do one that real
Speaker 1: this time where I'm really mad about this thing. You
Speaker 1: have the range. Okay, this is next, Dalters. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Her time starts now. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Phone calls giving me, giving me a mid day heart attack,
Speaker 1: just to see say see you next week, honey. I've
Speaker 1: never gotten a call that couldn't have worked as a text, sweetie.
Speaker 1: Literally while writing this out, I gotta call that lasted
Speaker 1: only ten seconds and almost made me throw up, Honey.
Speaker 1: And it's been easier, sweetie. I don't even have number sames,
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know who this is so
Speaker 1: I let it go to voicemail, but for some reason,
Speaker 1: you don't leave a voicemail, and the rest of the
Speaker 1: day I'm having a panic attack. And one time somebody
Speaker 1: texted me and I paid to find out who it
Speaker 1: wasn't it was gen really, and I dragging. I was
Speaker 1: just me saying I don't save anybody's number. Now I
Speaker 1: did save his number, and to have some of my
Speaker 1: family's never said, but stop calling because I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know what what the number is when you call.
Speaker 1: And also, please don't FaceTime unless you tell me before
Speaker 1: they you're going to face find me. And none of
Speaker 1: this applies to your family or friends. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: make me nervous to get a call or a FaceTime
Speaker 1: when I don't know what's coming. So just text me before.
Speaker 1: And that's the one. In a minute, thank you for
Speaker 1: speaking truly. Don't you get nervous when you get calls?
Speaker 1: It just throws away literally? And I want to I
Speaker 1: can I can I reveal something right now? Someone has
Speaker 1: been knocking on my door and ringing my doorbell for
Speaker 1: like the whole the last two minutes, and and this
Speaker 1: is very this situation, So can I just go see
Speaker 1: who it is, and I'm like, yes, old o, my god,
Speaker 1: be careful. I'm scared that's someone knocking. That has to
Speaker 1: be like a package deliver delivered or we gotta keep
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, he's only computer doing a zoom thing said,
Speaker 1: what could it be? What was that? What was that?
Speaker 1: I left my keys on the door and it was
Speaker 1: some good and that you hope that gives reason to
Speaker 1: pick up that phone to answer that door. That's the reason.
Speaker 1: That's what's scary about a call is that I think
Speaker 1: if it's not a text or an email, something must
Speaker 1: be important or or something. So I'm freaked out. If
Speaker 1: you don't leave a message, then I'm gonna wonder what
Speaker 1: it is. But I'm not going to answer if I
Speaker 1: don't know have your number saved? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I think you're for texting yourself. Yeah a question if
Speaker 1: you're If you're not saving some of these numbers, then
Speaker 1: when someone texts you from the number, you just have
Speaker 1: to do you prefer you just look back at the
Speaker 1: old text to be like, oh, it's that person getting
Speaker 1: a little better about saving numbers. Like, but I will
Speaker 1: have to a lot of times read what we just
Speaker 1: said to each other to like be like, yes, who.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll answer and I don't know who. I've had
Speaker 1: full conversations with people, um, but I don't know who
Speaker 1: it is and literally sometimes a way to figure out
Speaker 1: who we were talking to. But I want every everyone
Speaker 1: else there were texted with me to know it could
Speaker 1: be you. I've had people where I don't know where
Speaker 1: I know them from. They're fully talking to me and
Speaker 1: I slowly realize who it is who I know them from,
Speaker 1: and then I'm like retracing my steps. Did I react
Speaker 1: the way I should have? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And usually it's no, And it's like I created a
Speaker 1: weird vibe, right, And it's also it's also interesting to
Speaker 1: sort of interact with this person who you know you know,
Speaker 1: but but you don't because of the contact, because then
Speaker 1: you do start like analyzing the way they speak, like
Speaker 1: awesome sauce, like when someone says, hey mama, when someone
Speaker 1: says Chica, when someone says girly, girly, girly, girly, god,
Speaker 1: girly is so funny if you're doing it funny, And
Speaker 1: then I'm doing funny. Yeah it's and now I'm like,
Speaker 1: am I doing it as a joke or not, because
Speaker 1: now I said, well slowly over time. Yeah. The other
Speaker 1: thing is if you're talking to someone in person and
Speaker 1: you're figuring out who it is, there's a moment where
Speaker 1: you do realize who it is and you're trying not
Speaker 1: to show that excitement on your face, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like you're talking to someone you don't
Speaker 1: know where you know them from. But then then you
Speaker 1: finally clicks and you don't want to be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, because they've thought yes, yeah, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: you feel bummed that you didn't act that excited from
Speaker 1: the beginning. Yeah, you want to go back. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Oh well, I'll tell you something. After a
Speaker 1: traumatic experience today, I was gonna ask you, how do
Speaker 1: you feel? I feel? Okay. I think I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: lay down after this and like just chill. Because it's
Speaker 1: so funny what happens like when you're in something like that,
Speaker 1: Like at first you're kind of like I'm fine, I'm fine,
Speaker 1: I'm totally fine, and then like an hour and a
Speaker 1: half later, you're like, oh no, I just that just happened.
Speaker 1: So I probably just laid down. But I will say
Speaker 1: that this flipped my whole day around, and I think
Speaker 1: even at the end of it, I will call it
Speaker 1: a good day. Oh you're not just saying that kidding
Speaker 1: literally not. I've been such a shockingly good food after this,
Speaker 1: because you really are so funny and so funny and
Speaker 1: good guys are so funny. I'm feel so easy to
Speaker 1: talk to. I can. I can listen to you talk forever. Man,
Speaker 1: you guys, because I get so anxious sometimes for podcasts.
Speaker 1: I get nervous in this. You just made me laugh.

Speaker 1: in two consecutive weeks talking every We're to have another
Speaker 1: host kind of come in for a year. Um no,

Speaker 1: like the end of an era, but that moment in life,
Speaker 1: like for us, it was that like wow, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Now we started talking about this at the
Speaker 1: end of the episode when it's like but like like
