Speaker 1: The Niki Gleiser Podcast. Glaser, Hello here, I am welcome
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 2: It's Nikki Geiser Podcast, New week of shows.
Speaker 1: It's a special bonus episode.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you guys know that it's
Speaker 2: a bonus episode, but it's next episode. You get that
Speaker 2: we're supposed to do, but we're doing it. Brian Frani's here.
Speaker 1: What's up, Brian?
Speaker 3: Oh, nothing much. I'm just I do want to share
Speaker 3: this thing top line, top it off off line. So
Speaker 3: I said in the last episode or something that my
Speaker 3: micro nutrient test came back and was a low and
Speaker 3: selenium uh huh, and we were all like, who gives
Speaker 3: a shit? I get a message on Instagram from a
Speaker 3: bestie named Britt who said I have a condition that
Speaker 3: gives me low selenium and the solution is I eat
Speaker 3: three brazil nuts a day.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Tom Brady's diet.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's all it takes.
Speaker 1: All it takes great.
Speaker 3: I know. Isn't that crazy though?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, did you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Britt? But three brazil nuts. I've been eating
Speaker 3: three brazil thats a day and I'm going to test
Speaker 3: my slim again and we'll see if.
Speaker 1: It what are the side effects of low selenium like cares.
Speaker 3: I think selenium h regulates her hemoglobin.
Speaker 1: Okay, God damn it.
Speaker 2: I almost made a call to day to get some
Speaker 2: blood work done, but I didn't get to that part
Speaker 2: of my to do list, So it's not going to
Speaker 2: happen at all.
Speaker 1: Maybe ever, yeah, probably not.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's good not to get to stuff like
Speaker 3: that because it just makes you go crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't think it would make me go crazy. I
Speaker 1: think this is the thing.
Speaker 2: I get blood work done, and then I get put
Speaker 2: on a bunch of supplements, and then I start taking them,
Speaker 2: and then they run out, and then I don't get
Speaker 2: them again.
Speaker 1: And then that's it. Wow, that's the month.
Speaker 2: I gave it a go, and then I've gotten I've
Speaker 2: spent thousands of dollars at this homeopathic place. And yes,
Speaker 2: she did get my period back at one point, and
Speaker 2: yes she did seem to balance them, but I don't.
Speaker 1: There's always like some new thing she's given me.
Speaker 2: At one point, it was a vegus nerve stimulator that
Speaker 2: I spent seven hundred dollars on that you're like rub
Speaker 2: on your neck and it pulls your whole face down
Speaker 2: because it sends of vibrations.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Like you put it on your neck and then it
Speaker 2: goes burn and it pulls your whole face down because
Speaker 2: it hits this nerve that makes it all pulled down,
Speaker 2: so it looks to give a stroke. And that was
Speaker 2: supposed to like make you less depressed. But what was
Speaker 2: depressing me was I had to rub this gel all
Speaker 2: over my neck to make it work, you know, to
Speaker 2: conduct it, yes, and I would forget to wipe the
Speaker 2: gel off, and so I would have this like just
Speaker 2: just flaky blue stuff coming off my neck and people
Speaker 2: would notice it all the time and say, you have
Speaker 2: something on your neck, And it was just turning into
Speaker 2: a thing.
Speaker 1: So I just stopped doing it.
Speaker 2: And then I can't even sell the thing or give
Speaker 2: it to goodwill because it's just gonna end up in
Speaker 2: the trash because you have to get a card to
Speaker 2: like re up it. You have to like pay for
Speaker 2: a subscription to it. What I just I blow so
Speaker 2: much money on just quick fix things that just don't
Speaker 2: seem to ever work. And I just like when I
Speaker 2: stick to something, like I like my face serum. I
Speaker 2: just like the stuff I use. I just want to use.
Speaker 2: I get new products sent to me all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be using this retinall, just be using
Speaker 2: a vitamin C. I just want to have a way
Speaker 2: to do it, and then I want to do it
Speaker 2: the rest of my life that way, and I just don't.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: That's why I gotta get off Instagram. I literally my
Speaker 2: brain is being poisoned. It's affecting my mental health. It
Speaker 2: is at an impasse. I think that's what they say
Speaker 2: where it's like it's do or die. I gotta get
Speaker 2: off it.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: It's it's trying to kill me. Doesn't Instagram want me alive?
Speaker 2: So I keep buying shit?
Speaker 1: Don't they need me to live?
Speaker 2: Because it's really breaking my soul because I'm tired of
Speaker 2: seeing women's torsos getting longer and longer, and just women
Speaker 2: are getting They just know what I want to look like,
Speaker 2: I think, and they just keep stretching women out and
Speaker 2: showing me the most stretchy women. I saw a picture
Speaker 2: I wasn't a video of a girl to Tanya yesterday
Speaker 2: looked like slender Man.
Speaker 1: She was so long.
Speaker 2: She must have had marfans or something. But in like
Speaker 2: all the right places you know, and it was just
Speaker 2: like and then I read and then the comments deppressed
Speaker 2: me because there's always even the ones that are body
Speaker 2: positive that the Instagram posted her body positive, you go
Speaker 2: in the comments and there's mean people in them saying
Speaker 2: exactly the opposite, and so it just takes away anything
Speaker 2: it just gave you.
Speaker 1: And I just don't know how people continue the comments.
Speaker 3: They are like I like a woman with short stubby
Speaker 3: arms when it's a long.
Speaker 1: Yeah and a long Torso, isn't that a song?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And then yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: But there was like one yesterday there was like a
Speaker 2: girl that was like beauty can come in both sizes,
Speaker 2: and it's like a fat girl with her thin friend
Speaker 2: and they're both wearing kind of the same outfit and
Speaker 2: they're doing the same dance and it's like both can
Speaker 2: be beautiful. And then all the comments were like I'll
Speaker 2: take the left please, and it was obviously the thin girl,
Speaker 2: and it was just like all just reiterating exactly what
Speaker 2: I already think people want, and like it was just
Speaker 2: a bummer.
Speaker 1: And it's like that because I thought the comments.
Speaker 2: Might say, wow, the girl on the right is super sexy,
Speaker 2: and like maybe it would like re validate the things
Speaker 2: that I want to be true, and it just was
Speaker 2: just and then it's just people being mean to those
Speaker 2: people and being like and then the people that are
Speaker 2: mean to the guys that are commenting. I don't even
Speaker 2: like like, I don't like any of it.
Speaker 1: It just makes it's all negative.
Speaker 3: I mean, regardless of how beautiful the girl on the
Speaker 3: right is right, she must have right, but she must know.
Speaker 3: She must have known that this was going to be
Speaker 3: the result. Like, it's the Internet. How could you expect
Speaker 3: the Internet to do anything else?
Speaker 2: Because I think there's a lot of positivity out there
Speaker 2: when it comes to this body image stuff, Like there
Speaker 2: are good comments and some maybe there's some people out
Speaker 2: there that really can focus on the good and not
Speaker 2: see the bad. And then you know, I got There
Speaker 2: was another video that I sent to Anya of a
Speaker 2: girl that was bald and had a cleft palate and
Speaker 2: she was doing this like video about where she's like
Speaker 2: naked on a stool. People have probably seen girls have
Speaker 2: probably seen these where a girl gets like naked and
Speaker 2: she's on a stool and she's just talking about how
Speaker 2: beautiful her body is.
Speaker 1: And it's either like a beautiful girl or a girl.
Speaker 2: That's like not conventionally beautiful and talking about the struggles
Speaker 2: of it. And this person said, like, have you ever
Speaker 2: thought about what it would be like if you didn't
Speaker 2: look like this or something like this? And the girl
Speaker 2: was like, I think I'd be really I sometimes imagine
Speaker 2: if I didn't have a cleft lip and if I
Speaker 2: had hair, and I think i'd be really boring. And
Speaker 2: I thought that was really cute, and she also, oh
Speaker 2: my god, it's going to make me cry thinking about it.
Speaker 2: She was also saying, I don't I I'm glad that
Speaker 2: this is me that has this, because I don't think
Speaker 2: anyone else could handle having this and deal with what
Speaker 2: I deal with. And I thought that was really sad
Speaker 2: and sweet.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's nice that she's falling on the sword.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: Is it possible to get the cleft palette repaired at
Speaker 3: her age or is it only something you can do
Speaker 3: as a kid?
Speaker 1: Was repaired as much as it could be?
Speaker 3: Is what it has already been slightly repaired?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it's just it wasn't It didn't
Speaker 2: look the way other but like, of I don't want
Speaker 2: to say normal because that's not the word you're supposed
Speaker 2: to use. I don't know, it's it's getting tricky me
Speaker 2: talking about the stuff.
Speaker 3: I know you're walking in minefield right now.
Speaker 1: I know, but I just wonder about it.
Speaker 3: I want to push back on this personality comment. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I think that you shouldn't be defined by your lack
Speaker 3: of hair and your cleft palate. You should have, you know,
Speaker 3: your personality, make you not bord.
Speaker 1: Think that's what did well. I think that's why she
Speaker 1: has a personality.
Speaker 3: Because she's bald and has a cleft palate. Yeah, developed one. Yes,
Speaker 3: a boring dumb blonde be walking around talking about gels.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. She wouldn't have to work, okay about at
Speaker 2: work on a lot of things. She would just be
Speaker 2: talking about with green and smoothie she's eating that day,
Speaker 2: and how to do the right split squat or whatever.
Speaker 3: I'm just so terray squirrels. I love a split squad.
Speaker 1: I can't stand. And then there's just oh man, it
Speaker 1: is anyone else's feet.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to bessies out there, just constantly, girls teaching
Speaker 2: you how to put your hair in a ponytail, that'll
Speaker 2: make it fuller. I mean, they are just targeting me
Speaker 2: so much. And it's all girls are no one's my age.
Speaker 2: Either it's an older woman that's like elder, not elderly,
Speaker 2: but like let's talk about like in sixties seventies, who's
Speaker 2: telling me that old is beautiful? Or it's a girl
Speaker 2: in her twenties that's talking about skincare or and then
Speaker 2: I always just see hot girls, you know, with their
Speaker 2: boobs bouncing around doing things, and then like my male
Speaker 2: friends liking their videos, and I just go, that's all
Speaker 2: I just see. I don't want to say who, but
Speaker 2: it's always one guy that I'm like, uugh, all right,
Speaker 2: I guess what's up.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a guy and you like a
Speaker 3: video of the boobs, you you think that that girl
Speaker 3: is going to see that you're liking the video, and
Speaker 3: something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you have a blue check mark, which
Speaker 2: this person does.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, and that can really help.
Speaker 2: And sometimes I mean, I will say this person does
Speaker 2: get girls like that.
Speaker 3: So all right, so good art tell you this. I
Speaker 3: don't get a lot of videos targeting me of like
Speaker 3: how to make your ponytail fuller, But every time I
Speaker 3: do see a girl talking to camera, she is always
Speaker 3: doing her ponytail.
Speaker 1: She's like messing with it in some way.
Speaker 3: No one's ever doing there. They're always like, so I
Speaker 3: went to the coffee shop the other and she's always
Speaker 3: making a ponytail. Or I guess sometimes they're doing like
Speaker 3: the skincare routine while talking, which has kind of become
Speaker 3: a trope.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, gives them something to do.
Speaker 3: You've talked about how girls constantly are adjusting their like
Speaker 3: bikini straps, like they don't have anything. Now I'm seeing
Speaker 3: it with just like ponytail. Yeah, ponytail. Mostly they're looking
Speaker 3: at it's like they're looking in the mirror and they're
Speaker 3: talking to like, oh, I just had a quick minute
Speaker 3: where I could tell you this thing when it's like,
Speaker 3: we know that you did seventeen takes of this video
Speaker 3: and you have to undo your ponytail and put it
Speaker 3: together seventeen times.
Speaker 2: Just not. I'm just tired of these, like you know,
Speaker 2: dumps that girls will do where it's like them looking
Speaker 2: hot and then it's like a half eaten bag at
Speaker 2: and then it's like a picture of a bed, and
Speaker 2: then it's like a picture of their toe on on
Speaker 2: a cool looking brick like road or something like just
Speaker 2: show us the tits and show us your outfit and
Speaker 2: show us like what we want, Like stop giving us
Speaker 2: scenery and like this kind of abstract photography that you're
Speaker 2: trying to seem like you're like artistic and like they
Speaker 2: just seem to be sitting.
Speaker 1: Around in silence all the time, looking to.
Speaker 2: The side and with like and and trying on different sunglasses.
Speaker 2: I don't know what these girls talk about or do.
Speaker 2: I'm like really confounded it what their lives are like and.
Speaker 3: If it's a mystery they spend they spend quite a
Speaker 3: lot of time eating ornate meals and farmhouses. I think, yes,
Speaker 3: that's where there's a launch of something happening. There's always
Speaker 3: a launch.
Speaker 2: I'm launching so too many tequila launches every day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's there's more tequilas being launched than satellites.
Speaker 1: Well that's true in Miami in the Florida area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot going on with NASA, but
Speaker 2: they're not as much as different tequila brands.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's crazy. I can't wait for gen Z to
Speaker 3: emerge with the counterculture. Like everything this happens, there's always
Speaker 3: phases go the other way, and there's going to be
Speaker 3: a time when everything that's happening now is considered pass,
Speaker 3: a cliche, uncool. I cannot wait. I hate this era
Speaker 3: of the inn. I would rather go back to two
Speaker 3: thousand and six era of the Internet where we were
Speaker 3: doing like YouTube, web series or whatever. This this era,
Speaker 3: to me, is like one of the worst eras where
Speaker 3: it's just like everything you know what it is? You
Speaker 3: know what? This era is the error of pure capitalism,
Speaker 3: where every post is an ad or a promotion or
Speaker 3: a a spawn con.
Speaker 2: Well what's spawn con sponsor concert? It's And I find
Speaker 2: myself having to do it. I mean, my social media
Speaker 2: girl just wrote me today being like, hey, you're off
Speaker 2: the road this weekend if you want to like do
Speaker 2: a carousel post, which is like the when you have
Speaker 2: ten pictures that's called a carousel post. I'm learning these
Speaker 2: things of like what your life was like this weekend,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I have to promote what my
Speaker 2: life was like in Saint Louis this weekend, just to
Speaker 2: keep it going, just to keep engaged. Because I'm a
Speaker 2: brand that needs to give content. I need I need
Speaker 2: to keep doing it. Yeah, and I just I don't
Speaker 2: I need to start taking but this is the good
Speaker 2: thing about just being able to photograph anything. When you
Speaker 2: do a carousel, you really can just like have a
Speaker 2: picture of an Amazon box and people are like ooh art,
Speaker 2: Like you don't have to like you can put the
Speaker 2: edge of your couch, yeah, with like some trash in
Speaker 2: the background, or some of a grouping of cords or like.
Speaker 3: I love a grouping of chords.
Speaker 2: Interesting, like oh yeah, what is it called a murder
Speaker 2: of chords? It really can just be anything. So that's
Speaker 2: I'm trying to like remind myself to take more pictures
Speaker 2: of bullshit so that it can put it in these.
Speaker 3: Photo highlights from October and then it's just chords.
Speaker 2: Can you have to come up with like a cool
Speaker 2: caption that it's there's there's too much to do and
Speaker 2: that's okay prediction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's where it's going. Okay, this phase phase. The
Speaker 3: next phase is going to be AI where all the
Speaker 3: posts are AI generated by AI for AI. And then
Speaker 3: the next phase after that is going to be the
Speaker 3: best phase, which is the response to the bullshit that's
Speaker 3: flooded the Internet, and it's going to be authenticity where
Speaker 3: people talk to each other in person, they get off
Speaker 3: their phones entirely, because it's going to get to the
Speaker 3: point with AI that you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't trust anything.
Speaker 3: It's already happened with Google. It's like I can't even
Speaker 3: use Google anymore. Between the ads and the AI responses,
Speaker 3: I can't use it. I'm gonna have to call people
Speaker 3: on the phone and ask them how to change the
Speaker 3: oil in my car or whatever. Right, I had to
Speaker 3: call my dad and be like, Dad, do you know
Speaker 3: how to change a muffler? Because YouTube has giving me
Speaker 3: a bunch of spawn con AI horseshit.
Speaker 2: This weekend, I my dog was kind of having a
Speaker 2: choking incident, not really, she was just like trying to
Speaker 2: hack something up, and I was like, man, I just
Speaker 2: realized I don't know how to give the heimlick to
Speaker 2: a small dog. Like I think I've watched videos in
Speaker 2: the past, maybe years ago, but let me like look
Speaker 2: that up. And I'm looking it up and there's a
Speaker 2: woman that's like un tills eleven minute video, and there's
Speaker 2: another one that's.
Speaker 1: A four minute video. If my dog's choke. No one's
Speaker 1: looking up how to.
Speaker 2: Do the heimlick on a dog when their dog is
Speaker 2: not choking, where they just are trying to learn it.
Speaker 1: They need the information right away.
Speaker 2: So let's just make a video fifteen seconds long that
Speaker 2: just starts with the person doing it, pick your dog up.
Speaker 3: Break this Woman's like, well, gonna.
Speaker 2: Put your dog on the side, assuming that your dog
Speaker 2: is not unconscious yet. If your dog is unconscious, you
Speaker 2: should call. It's just like bitch talk faster.
Speaker 1: You don't. I don't want to.
Speaker 2: Toggle and have to do the two times the speed
Speaker 2: when my dog is fucking dying. And then I accidentally
Speaker 2: click on the ad and then it comes to another
Speaker 2: video and then it's like I.
Speaker 3: Cant of the imagine jackets.
Speaker 1: Luckily she is not. She was not.
Speaker 2: She coughed it up and it was great. But I
Speaker 2: do now know how to give the heimlick to a
Speaker 2: small dog.
Speaker 1: I think I would probably break the dog.
Speaker 2: The dog would probably die of something else in the
Speaker 2: autopsy room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what do you got to do?
Speaker 2: I should be her name, You find the part of
Speaker 2: their you know, it's kind of like the human heimlick,
Speaker 2: and but then you eventually just like grab their lower
Speaker 2: legs and start like lifting them up and like shaking.
Speaker 1: Everyone should watch it. Don't take my advice.
Speaker 2: I think I know what to do, but I think
Speaker 2: I wasn't really paying the close of attention like I
Speaker 2: do have every video I watched. I was probably watching
Speaker 2: thirteen things at the same time. Are you watching the Olympics?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, of course I am.
Speaker 1: Who is? Of course I am. I just I don't
Speaker 1: get this.
Speaker 3: Well, I like America's Got Talent, Nicky, you don't think
Speaker 3: I want to watch the Olympics.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm watching America's Got Talent too, and it's a
Speaker 3: it's the season is pretty rough. I have to say. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I said this already on the show. They're leaning too
Speaker 3: much into the stories and not enough into the talent portion.
Speaker 3: And we're getting a lot of kids as a result,
Speaker 3: a lot of little kids, which I don't think they're
Speaker 3: thinking this through. We're gonna get to the next round
Speaker 3: of America's Got Talent, and it's gonna be like eight
Speaker 3: year old versus eight year old. It's gonna be eight
Speaker 3: year old with cancer versus a one armed eight year old,
Speaker 3: and they're gonna have to say no to one of
Speaker 3: those kids.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, oh that's tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what, we cry a lot when
Speaker 2: the kids get said no to too, and that's okay,
Speaker 2: and no one gets mad at the show.
Speaker 3: It's just the way it is, just the way it is. Oh,
Speaker 3: but the Olympics are Yeah, they started and so did
Speaker 3: you know this? This might be a Taylor Swift fact
Speaker 3: that you weren't aware of.
Speaker 1: Try me?
Speaker 3: So uh they did. This was a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: ago they did the qualifiers for the women's gymnastics team
Speaker 3: to get the five players who are going to be
Speaker 3: on the team, and Simone Biles, who was probably most
Speaker 3: well known for her floor routines, did ready for it? Okay,
Speaker 3: you already knew, huh the youth Taylor Swift song.
Speaker 2: I watched it yesterday with Chris. Yeah, it was like
Speaker 2: the first part of it, but then there's no singing
Speaker 2: in floor routines, and so I was like, next, No,
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. She's amazing tailor.
Speaker 3: I don't tweet it out, tweeted to Yeah, yeah, I liked.
Speaker 1: It the best best recognized as best.
Speaker 2: I watched Simone Biles documentary, so I'm slightly invested in
Speaker 2: her story.
Speaker 3: So what is it about? Is about the twisties.
Speaker 2: It's about like what happened in Tokyo. It's about what's happened.
Speaker 2: Since it's about that, is.
Speaker 3: It about like the doctor the doctor, Yeah, which is
Speaker 3: probably why she got the.
Speaker 2: It's about her friendships, it's about her family. It's about
Speaker 2: just how hard gymnastics is on the body, on the mind,
Speaker 2: on the spirit. It's really well done. It's a Netflix thing.
Speaker 2: And because I want to be invested in Olympics and
Speaker 2: I'm not. I just I even said to Chris, we're
Speaker 2: watching Simone Bile's documentary and oh, she want her six
Speaker 2: nationals in a row, And I go, what's the what's
Speaker 2: the world nationals? Use like it's you know, it's the
Speaker 2: world competition where everyone competes to see who's the best
Speaker 2: in the world. And I go, what are we doing
Speaker 2: the Olympics for? Then, truly I need an answer. If
Speaker 2: we have a competition every year, but then that then
Speaker 2: then they don't watch it, then then work on marketing
Speaker 2: that better. I just don't get why the Olympics exists
Speaker 2: if there is already a world competition in every single sport.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, that's a really good point.
Speaker 1: I really don't get it. I'm not trying to for me.
Speaker 2: I think it's just so that the USA can say
Speaker 2: we're the best because we seem to. I saw a
Speaker 2: metal count and we seem to just win everything. So
Speaker 2: I would not even be really that interested if I
Speaker 2: was other countries.
Speaker 1: I just don't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't get what it is if there's already a
Speaker 2: best in every sport.
Speaker 3: What you're saying is true, and I don't think there's
Speaker 3: any way to argue against it. However, there's two reasons.
Speaker 3: I think. One is so that the International Olympic Committee
Speaker 3: makes all that money.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think it's a cash crab.
Speaker 3: But also, you know, the Olympics has this prestige to
Speaker 3: it that you know, the other things don't have. We're
Speaker 3: getting a gold medal in the Olympics. It's just more.
Speaker 3: It's just more exposure. It's like, but.
Speaker 1: Isn't it the same as the other thing.
Speaker 3: It's not why people don't watch the other things, and
Speaker 3: that's for better or.
Speaker 1: You just so then let's get rid of the other thing.
Speaker 3: Well, that's true, I'll get rid of the other thing.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 1: Why do we need both? We don't. Why is there
Speaker 1: not is there baseball at the Olympics.
Speaker 3: That's controversial? Not this year.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, is there's no f one racing at the Olympics.
Speaker 1: No, I just don't think. I just don't believe that.
Speaker 2: And I just don't understand why people are already suddenly
Speaker 2: like fans of women's badminton pairs doubles or whatever. Like
Speaker 2: it's just it seems insincere that all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: we're so into this thing that no one gave a
Speaker 2: fuck about for four years.
Speaker 1: It seems insincere. I can argue, it seems fake.
Speaker 2: And I just don't like I just suddenly every four
Speaker 2: years we get super patriotic and we act like we
Speaker 2: care about all these sports we didn't care about a
Speaker 2: month ago. I just I'm calling bullshit on it.
Speaker 3: I can't describe it, but it's just how I feel.
Speaker 3: I do like I'm really right now. I'm super into
Speaker 3: the women's US rugby team because they're dominating and they
Speaker 3: they're I mean, I didn't even know that women's US
Speaker 3: rugby was a thing until maybe.
Speaker 2: You'll try to sell it on me when we get
Speaker 2: back from break, because I want to. I want to
Speaker 2: enjoy this thing that everyone seems to enjoy except me.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling left out. And we'll get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, we're back the Olympics Women's rugby. Why that?
Speaker 1: Why did you choose that? Did you just pick whatever
Speaker 1: was on or did you actually seek that out?
Speaker 3: Well, I started to see highlights of the team and
Speaker 3: they're just like dominant. They're they're just dominating, and.
Speaker 1: They're like do you understand?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: And also Jason Kelcey. I saw a clip of Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 3: He's now a huge women's US rugby team fans, super fan.
Speaker 3: And it's because it's a lot like football, and these
Speaker 3: these women are are like just running people over from
Speaker 3: other countries. It's crazy and it's a lot. It's there's
Speaker 3: similarities to football, and I love football, and I just
Speaker 3: love seeing I don't know, like when I see some
Speaker 3: own biles dominate, I go, I'm so glad she's from
Speaker 3: America because I'm so proud that that the American athlete is.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know that she really has nothing to do,
Speaker 3: but I like America.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna get I know I'm the only one
Speaker 2: who feels this way, but I just I think, how
Speaker 2: do I say this? I think, pride in your country
Speaker 2: and your city is dumb and like when it comes
Speaker 2: to sports, because a lot of sports are just like
Speaker 2: who pushed these people the hardest? Or or and it's
Speaker 2: just luck. It's like someone was just born here when
Speaker 2: its amazing. But if she was from China, would we
Speaker 2: be into her as much? Her?
Speaker 3: Like crazy, I'd say, boo, you suck, Simon, And I
Speaker 3: think terribly.
Speaker 1: I like her no matter where she's from. How about I.
Speaker 3: Don't like her if she's from any other country except
Speaker 3: the USA. If she got the twisties and she was
Speaker 3: from China, I'd be like.
Speaker 2: Good, No, I think there is I just I think
Speaker 2: national pride is kind of lame.
Speaker 3: Well, that's how we get wars, you know. Well, we
Speaker 3: wouldn't get wars without.
Speaker 2: That unless you felt like you were better than other places.
Speaker 2: That's true, So I guess it is really helpful.
Speaker 3: We need the wars. I just I think it's all
Speaker 3: so nice. It's just it's just I think he's it's
Speaker 3: partially like America's got pnic.
Speaker 2: I'm being a jerk, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: this way. I want to I want to just be
Speaker 2: able to enjoy it and be invested in Yesterday, Anya
Speaker 2: sent us on the girl's chat of a video of
Speaker 2: a she goes this made me cry. I'm like in
Speaker 2: full volunteers right now, and I was just waiting and
Speaker 2: waiting for when, like I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 2: what would have made me cry about this. This woman
Speaker 2: just pull vaulted and I guess she broke a thirty
Speaker 2: seven year record.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is exactly America's got talent. This is
Speaker 3: why I cry for that. So Erica's got The Olympics
Speaker 3: is the pinnacle of human achievement. And when it's and
Speaker 3: so that that is just you're in awe of what
Speaker 3: the human body body is capable of. Yes, you're in
Speaker 3: all of the work they put in to achieve these things,
Speaker 3: no matter what country they're from. If you see someone
Speaker 3: break a world record or if you see someone overcome
Speaker 3: some adversity to achieve something great, that is inspiring. And
Speaker 3: that's one reason why, which is why.
Speaker 1: But no one's not, no one's doing anything with this.
Speaker 1: They were watching it.
Speaker 2: That's inspiring, and then they're not going out and doing it.
Speaker 2: You're like, it's entertainment, though you're not gonna go run
Speaker 2: faster because you watch someone run like maybe maybe no,
Speaker 2: I will run.
Speaker 3: Faster, that's for sure, but I'll feel something more five
Speaker 3: for seconds.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's and that's good and I and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: let me just try to be like enthusiastic about this. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm not being I'm not so stupid and obtuse that
Speaker 2: I can't understand why it's emotional for someone to break
Speaker 2: a thirty seven year old record. But I don't understand
Speaker 2: why my friend Anya was crying about it, Like I
Speaker 2: don't understand why I'm I don't do track and field.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what that record means. I don't. To me,
Speaker 2: it just looked like every other pole vault I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I was crying because I'll never have the body that
Speaker 2: this girl had. I thought that maybe made me tear.
Speaker 3: I mean it means something.
Speaker 1: That I can't get emotional about this.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what it means.
Speaker 1: But I feel really left out.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be like everyone should know what
Speaker 2: I am, because this is not fun to be. But
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. I just don't get it.
Speaker 2: I am searching for it. I understand. I'm getting into
Speaker 2: football now. I'm watching the Quarterback Show. I'm understanding, you know,
Speaker 2: if they just talked me through how hard these people
Speaker 2: work and what it means and how insane it is
Speaker 2: to do that pole vault, and like you know, even
Speaker 2: on the Simone Biles documentary they're talking about all these
Speaker 2: First of all, they said they renamed a move that
Speaker 2: she created, but they called it now.
Speaker 1: They go, if she does the.
Speaker 2: Ings and Bosen double twist with the triple deuce, they're
Speaker 2: renaming it Biles too, And I go, didn't you just
Speaker 2: have a name for it.
Speaker 1: Didn't you just say what it was?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Who is ings and Bosen? And are you just throwing
Speaker 1: her under the bus.
Speaker 3: Like they were, And she's from but Germany or something
Speaker 3: and we don't need that.
Speaker 2: I was very confused at how they're rename. I understand
Speaker 2: making up new moves, but this move seem to already
Speaker 2: have a name.
Speaker 1: But also I want to I want to see it slowed.
Speaker 2: Down and I want to see how incredible because obviously
Speaker 2: it all looks incredible. Yeah, it's so fast you can't
Speaker 2: understand it. You know. There's that tweet that gets recirculated
Speaker 2: every time where it's like one girl says said she
Speaker 2: wants one normal person to be competing in the Olympics,
Speaker 2: so we can just see how fast.
Speaker 1: These people actually really good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're also amazing. But I really just don't understand.
Speaker 2: I want to see I want to see what the
Speaker 2: twist is and how they like, how they go. I
Speaker 2: want to see how someone learns how to do that over.
Speaker 3: We have to watch the full coverage and not just highlights,
Speaker 3: because then you will get the whole backstory. You will
Speaker 3: get analysis, and you'll get slow motion replays and everything,
Speaker 3: all right, most the one of the tropes with the
Speaker 3: Olympics is that they show you some sappy backstory and
Speaker 3: then you see them compete, and they try to leve
Speaker 3: ridge your emotional connection to the athlete in order to
Speaker 3: make you cry. And that's exactly what Because these people.
Speaker 2: Won't have anything to do in four years, like for
Speaker 2: another four years. I'm crying because they won't have a
Speaker 2: career in ten years.
Speaker 1: I'm crying because.
Speaker 2: Of yeah, like all like the fact that I don't
Speaker 2: think they're being paid to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sure, you have to kind of crying.
Speaker 2: Because of the man I see they have to sleep
Speaker 2: on in the Olympic village. I just I'm just like
Speaker 2: I kind of just call bullshit on everyone getting excited
Speaker 2: about this thing that we don't talk about at all
Speaker 2: in between and it's the only time anyone gives a
Speaker 2: fuck about sports besides football, And it just is kind
Speaker 2: of like, where were you guys the other the other times?
Speaker 1: Oh, now you care?
Speaker 2: If I was like these these athletes, I'd be like,
Speaker 2: do you really care? I would just kind of feel
Speaker 2: like it was just all put on in order to
Speaker 2: care about it instead of appreciating it. But I guess
Speaker 2: I should just appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I think that kid just you gotta let you gotta
Speaker 3: let go of the cynicism, and you gotta just allow
Speaker 3: yourself to enjoy this every four years. It's historic. I
Speaker 3: mean it's been around since BC and then it was
Speaker 3: brought back in eighteen ninety seven or something. It is
Speaker 3: a It is also a representation of all countries besides
Speaker 3: Russia is not allowed in the Olympics this year, putting
Speaker 3: aside their differences because of the war. Yeah, well so
Speaker 3: they've been banned from the Olympics many times, and like
Speaker 3: in the last Olympics, what's your dog doing?
Speaker 4: Sorry, my talk it's on the table, taking like just
Speaker 4: this table has just been depleted of things that are
Speaker 4: on it, the little knickknacks, and she just found the
Speaker 4: hedgehog that we bought at one point.
Speaker 1: That was some hedgehog and she found it.
Speaker 2: And now she is on the table showing the other
Speaker 2: dogs what she's found and just taunting them with it
Speaker 2: and just just getting into mischief. Has no idea that
Speaker 2: there is a podcast, no respect for the podcast. She's
Speaker 2: treating this podcast like we treat sports. Four years bad esars.
Speaker 2: I'll try to get into. There's too many things to
Speaker 2: be into. I just don't know how people have all
Speaker 2: this time to watch all this stuff.
Speaker 3: Well you know that that is time is an issue,
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's only two weeks every four years
Speaker 3: that you got to and you don't have to watch
Speaker 3: all of it. But no, with the Russia thing, Russia
Speaker 3: has been banned from the Olympics many times. The last
Speaker 3: time they were a banned, uh was because of the
Speaker 3: doping scandals, like they can't seem to follow the rules
Speaker 3: with given their athletes drugs okay and they weren't able
Speaker 3: to regulate it. And the IOC said, well this time,
Speaker 3: h this was the last Olympics you're not going to
Speaker 3: be allowed to wear your country's colors, and you're not
Speaker 3: going to be able to play your Russian national anthem
Speaker 3: if your players win, and you're gonna have to call
Speaker 3: yourself like I forgot what it was called, like the
Speaker 3: r O C or something like some alternate name, but
Speaker 3: everybody knew that it was still Russia.
Speaker 1: That's so weird that.
Speaker 2: They were like, they just take away all the things
Speaker 2: that would celebrate you, but you can still.
Speaker 3: Compete, that you can still compete, so but but it
Speaker 3: was still Russia. And so when you had the medal count,
Speaker 3: the medal count is generally a race between the three
Speaker 3: like major superpowers in the world.
Speaker 1: Russian athletes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's Russia, China and the US are always
Speaker 3: the top three, and usually it's it's like who's gonna
Speaker 3: win Russia or US or China or the US. Never
Speaker 3: really Russia or China unless it's in Russia or in China.
Speaker 3: Then it's usually home field advantage. But this year at
Speaker 3: the Olympics, because of the Ukraine War, Russia is not
Speaker 3: even allowed to compete as a team. If you are
Speaker 3: a Russian athlete, and certain events, and only certain events,
Speaker 3: you're allowed to compete as an individual just for yourself,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't count towards Russia's medal count. So if
Speaker 3: you look at the medal count, Russia is not going
Speaker 3: to be on it this year.
Speaker 2: So gymnast, if you're Russian gymnasts, you can still compete,
Speaker 2: but you didn't get a medal, but.
Speaker 1: Russia won't get it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know which sports it applies to,
Speaker 3: but in certain sports you can, and in certain sports
Speaker 3: you're just not even allowed to.
Speaker 1: Play, okay, And then will you tell me this why?
Speaker 2: My driver in Vegas last weekend told me like, oh,
Speaker 2: did you see the women's basketball game last night? The
Speaker 2: Olympic team played the All Star team and the All
Speaker 2: Star team won?
Speaker 1: And I go, why don't we switch teams then?
Speaker 3: And send that one?
Speaker 1: I'm serious? What's going on here?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean?
Speaker 1: And why is Kaitlyn Clark not on the Olympic team?
Speaker 3: That's controversy because when they made the team, Kaitlyn Clark
Speaker 3: wasn't performing as well as she is now she re.
Speaker 3: I think probably her not making the Olympic team inspired
Speaker 3: her to become great in the WABA. It was that
Speaker 3: adversity because the coach of the Olympic team came out
Speaker 3: and said, if we were to make the team today,
Speaker 3: Kaitlin Clark would be on it. But when we did
Speaker 3: make the team, she wasn't the best. She was mid
Speaker 3: mid Kitlyn Clark.
Speaker 2: All right, I still don't get I still don't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't get an I don't get any of it.
Speaker 2: Like I don't get why certain you know what, okay
Speaker 2: basketball team? How how do they decide who makes it,
Speaker 2: who makes the basket, who decides who picks?
Speaker 3: It's like the coaches and it's kind of just like
Speaker 3: a does a committee who just selects the players.
Speaker 2: And then why would they ever have the women's Olympic
Speaker 2: team play another team? Just like why would they ever
Speaker 2: show us that they're sending a lesser group of a
Speaker 2: lesser but like whatever.
Speaker 1: That night they were lesser. And then someone told me, oh, no,
Speaker 1: they let them win because.
Speaker 3: They did it because I wanted to.
Speaker 2: They weren't playing that hard because they were saving it
Speaker 2: up for the Olympics or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does that make sense?
Speaker 3: It does because the team that's not going to the
Speaker 3: Olympics has nothing else to play for except to beat
Speaker 3: the Olympic team to prove that they should have gone
Speaker 3: to the Olympics, whereas the other team they.
Speaker 1: Have that game to sell tickets. I guess is it
Speaker 1: just money.
Speaker 3: It's all about capitalism, Nikki. All of these things wouldn't
Speaker 3: exist right now anyway if it wasn't for capitalism. There
Speaker 3: is a group of There is a of international men
Speaker 3: called the IOC, who is solely responsible for torturing these
Speaker 3: teenagers so that they can make billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: Would you let your kid do gymnastics?
Speaker 3: M yeah, I don't let my kid. I would force
Speaker 3: my kid to do.
Speaker 1: I think that's the only one I could do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would put her into the gulag at age four
Speaker 3: and say, if you don't come out with a gold medal,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pretend you don't have a fought.
Speaker 1: It would be really hard to be because every athlete
Speaker 1: wants to be the best to ever do it.
Speaker 3: I would think, right, you gotta be tortured a little bit.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it suck to just be on the two like
Speaker 2: in gymnastics right now with Simone Biles because she is
Speaker 2: just so above and beyond everyone else.
Speaker 1: It just would be like, what am I even doing
Speaker 1: it does suck. I want to feel that way often
Speaker 1: in my life, in every aspect.
Speaker 3: Well, I really relate to Jordan Childs, who is the
Speaker 3: third best member of the Olympic team, and she only
Speaker 3: qualified for one individual event, and the one individual event
Speaker 3: you qualified for is the one that Simone Biles is
Speaker 3: best at. So she knows she has no chance of
Speaker 3: getting a gold medal unless Simone Biles like explodes, she
Speaker 3: has no chance. And in fact, Sonny Lee got a
Speaker 3: gold medal last year or four years ago for her
Speaker 3: individual event only because Simone Biles got the twisties. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being the third best at something? The
Speaker 3: third best at something, it's like differs a good Will hunting? Yeah,
Speaker 3: So you know, like the scars Guard professor yeah, who
Speaker 3: tries to groom Will Hunting and then not sexually, not
Speaker 3: sexually sorry groom.
Speaker 1: He tries to make him as yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and scars Guard is like, there's only a handful
Speaker 3: of people in the entire world who can even tell
Speaker 3: the difference between you and me, and yet Will Hunting
Speaker 3: is like when he solves a proof for scars Guard
Speaker 3: and then sets it on fire, scars Guard like runs
Speaker 3: to the ground and starts and he's panicked, and because
Speaker 3: he needs to see that proof, because he knows that
Speaker 3: he can never imagine and the things that will hunting
Speaker 3: can imagine. Except he already won the most prestigious medal
Speaker 3: in his field, and he's like probably the second smartest person,
Speaker 3: but this other guy is so much better than him.
Speaker 3: How can you imagine how maddening that must be to
Speaker 3: be Jordan Chiles right now and be like, you're the
Speaker 3: third best.
Speaker 2: You care now, it's worse to be just someone who
Speaker 2: has no talent at all.
Speaker 3: Imagine you were beaten and molested and you suck. Is that?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: It would?
Speaker 2: There is a part of me that keeps watching the
Speaker 2: documentary and they just keep saying, Simone Biles is the
Speaker 2: greatest to ever do it. There were once in a
Speaker 2: lifetime athlete. No one will ever touch her for the
Speaker 2: rest of our lifetimes. Like it's just it's insane what
Speaker 2: she's capable of, and it just is like why even
Speaker 2: try then? Because sworts is about being the best.
Speaker 1: I guess we need a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of other people doing it to even know what
Speaker 2: the best is. But it seems pretty and that would
Speaker 2: that would She's so humble though. I really like how
Speaker 2: she handles it all. She doesn't seem to be like
Speaker 2: someone who carries herself as the best. She seems so normal.
Speaker 2: I really watching the documentary and and yeah, and they
Speaker 2: don't really. I just I want to understand what twisties is.
Speaker 2: They just it's a mental block that has nothing to
Speaker 2: do with gymnastics usually, but yeah, it's like the yips,
Speaker 2: and it's like they your body doesn't do what your
Speaker 2: mind wants it to do.
Speaker 1: And I go, yeah, we all got.
Speaker 2: Like like a normal person, like my buddy doesn't do
Speaker 2: what it wanted to do when I'm doing a simple
Speaker 2: of pilates glass.
Speaker 1: So I think that I understand it in that respect.
Speaker 3: But well, it would be like if you started to
Speaker 3: get stage fright, which is what happened to Steve Martin
Speaker 3: if you remember in his book, Oh yeah, he got
Speaker 3: stage fright and it was like I can't even go
Speaker 3: on stage anymore to do stand up. But it would
Speaker 3: be like if you got stage fright and the end
Speaker 3: result of stage fright was that you'd fall off the
Speaker 3: stage and break your neck. Okay, that means you're like, well,
Speaker 3: I probably shouldn't try because I might break my neck
Speaker 3: if I do this.
Speaker 1: Well, I know.
Speaker 2: Nate Bargatzi said he got late stage.
Speaker 1: Claustrophobia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I'm kind of wanting to get something. I
Speaker 2: want something that will make it so things have to
Speaker 2: change in my life and I got to change things up.
Speaker 3: You want to sabotage yourself a little bit.
Speaker 1: I want some kind of like, am I.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the self sabotage You're tall poppy right now?
Speaker 1: Well no, because then I have an excuse.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing someonone Biles was talking about was
Speaker 2: like when an athlete breaks their leg, everyone's like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't compete, But once you break your mind, it's
Speaker 2: invisible and no one can tell. And I feel like
Speaker 2: sometimes I want something that I can like point to
Speaker 2: is like why I can't do the things I can
Speaker 2: do and then everyone goes, oh, poor.
Speaker 1: Girl, instead of like you just suck. If I just
Speaker 1: got to stage.
Speaker 2: Fright suddenly, then it would it be something, even though
Speaker 2: that's not really tangible.
Speaker 1: No, I do not wish for that.
Speaker 2: But the other day I was in an elevator and
Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, this is kind of boxed in,
Speaker 2: and I was like kind of letting in claustrophobia, and
Speaker 2: I was like, let me try to get it right now,
Speaker 2: and I couldn't get it.
Speaker 3: It's something interesting on it in order to get it.
Speaker 1: Instead.
Speaker 2: My quirk is that I'm not interested in the Olympics
Speaker 2: and it's not really working for it.
Speaker 1: It's not that interesting.
Speaker 3: No, it's definitely not gonna, you know, gain you sympathy
Speaker 3: if you mess up. Yeah, and if you have a
Speaker 3: terrible set, it's like, oh, don't feel don't worry about that.
Speaker 3: She hates the Olympics. Don't blame her. She doesn't like sports.
Speaker 1: She's joyless.
Speaker 2: But it is there is something deficient in me that
Speaker 2: I can't enjoy the simple Olympics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know that's sad. That's sad. I mean,
Speaker 3: I feel bad for you. I wish you could.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like freaking out about Beyonce being USA and she's
Speaker 2: in a swimsuit with the USA, and then the teammates
Speaker 2: are going Beyonce and I'm just like, I'm waiting for
Speaker 2: to feel something and I don't feel med.
Speaker 3: What the fuckhy.
Speaker 2: No, it's not because I'm and I'm not even smoking weed.
Speaker 2: There's nothing that's like suppressing. How like, if anything, my
Speaker 2: feelings should be raging out of me. I just I
Speaker 2: saw like three million likes on this Beyonce and I'm like, yes,
Speaker 2: let me feel it. And then it just like, honestly numb.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel I didn't feel it. And so I
Speaker 2: don't know what's what's going on.
Speaker 3: What was the last thing you watched or saw that
Speaker 3: did make you feel something?
Speaker 1: I cried.
Speaker 2: Yesterday or maybe yeah, last night. Oh god, it was
Speaker 2: so sweet. It was like you know that Dodo account
Speaker 2: that has like stories about animals, and it was.
Speaker 1: It was, oh my god.
Speaker 2: It was like a woman that was talking about how
Speaker 2: she was like, my husband didn't want me to get one,
Speaker 2: but I got another duck because obviously this one just
Speaker 2: rescues ducks and chickens. And she was like, and so
Speaker 2: we someone found an abandoned duck, so we took it in.
Speaker 2: It was this baby duck and it was it was
Speaker 2: getting along with the baby chicken we had, and these
Speaker 2: they became best friends and they're just like and they're
Speaker 2: running around the house together and they're so cute.
Speaker 1: This little chick she had and this little duck.
Speaker 2: And then the duck grew up and he started learning
Speaker 2: to fly, but he would always come back and hang
Speaker 2: out with the chicken because they were so bonded. But
Speaker 2: then one day the duck flew off and it never
Speaker 2: came back. God only knows what happened to it, and
Speaker 2: and the chicken was so sad that it was sitting
Speaker 2: next to They had a dog too, and the dog
Speaker 2: has a soccer ball that was like deflated and kind
Speaker 2: of looked like the duck when it was deflated, and
Speaker 2: it just was sitting next to this deflated soccer ball,
Speaker 2: and I started crying because it just wanted to be
Speaker 2: friends with this thing that's like not giving it anything back,
Speaker 2: you know, Like it's just so sad when animal I'm
Speaker 2: gonna cry out thinking about it, Like animals like want
Speaker 2: to be friends with something and it's like dead next
Speaker 2: to it. It was just so sad and so then
Speaker 2: then it but then it was a happy ending because
Speaker 2: then the dog kiss stepped in and was friends with
Speaker 2: the chicken and it was friends. So I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: if there was like an animal animal Friends Olympics, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would be so touched by it. This weekend, I
Speaker 2: was actually like so overwhelmed with emotion and distracted because
Speaker 2: I'm taking care of my parents' dogs. And I realized
Speaker 2: the number one thing in my life that like makes
Speaker 2: me more upset than anything is when a dog has
Speaker 2: an itch like that it can't get I just can't
Speaker 2: fucking handle it. Yeah, Like, if I ever see my
Speaker 2: dog scratching at anything, I instantly start getting the scratch
Speaker 2: for them so they can just relax. Like there's nothing
Speaker 2: worse than a dog like you know when you like
Speaker 2: have to do it to doing a backbend just so
Speaker 2: you can scratch your ankle. Can you imagine like the
Speaker 2: pain in your spine because this thing is like gnawing
Speaker 2: at you. So Mary and my parents' dog has allergies
Speaker 2: and she like black by her tail is just plugged.
Speaker 2: You can just see her get like jolts of like
Speaker 2: ah it itches and she starts going after it. And
Speaker 2: so I was getting it this weekend and your finger,
Speaker 2: I'm just my fingers have so much Marry an asshole
Speaker 2: DNA in them right now, my finger underneath my fingernails
Speaker 2: because I was just scratching her tail all weekend and
Speaker 2: it was the only way she was happy. And then
Speaker 2: she would just be like she would fall asleep. Because
Speaker 2: she was so exhausted from itching that she can't sleep,
Speaker 2: and so whenever she would get some relief, she would
Speaker 2: pass out right away. And so I'm itching, and then
Speaker 2: this second I would just be like, okay, let's be
Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a half hour. I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna let it go. She would just freak out again,
Speaker 2: and then she'd start getting under my hand and being
Speaker 2: like please. And it was like, I couldn't sleep. I
Speaker 2: was getting up to like put this lotion on her.
Speaker 2: I was trying all of these things. I'm giving her
Speaker 2: allergy meds. Nothing was working. And I was like, I
Speaker 2: can't function if a dog, if an animal is uncomfortable
Speaker 2: or in pain, I cannot I can't function.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2: And and so I was really struggling this weekend with that,
Speaker 2: and I just I didn't like, you have a dog
Speaker 2: that sometimes feels uncomfortable, Like, isn't it the worst? No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the worst. I can't sleep. There's nothing you
Speaker 3: can do. You just gonna sit there.
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you.
Speaker 2: Can't really know what's wrong to you, like they're feeling No, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's horrible. So I just I'm getting her more. We
Speaker 2: ran out of allergy meds. That's why it was so
Speaker 2: bad last night. But I was up late last night
Speaker 2: just like she was in our bed and you would
Speaker 2: just feel it. You would just feel the bed shaking
Speaker 2: and Chris is sleeping through it like it's a fucking
Speaker 2: earthquake going on in our bed because she's just And
Speaker 2: so I would get up and I would go to
Speaker 2: the couch and I would just talk her down, and
Speaker 2: then she would finally calm down and seize up again.
Speaker 2: It was just it was exhausting, and I was texting
Speaker 2: my parents feverishly like this is not okay. You handed
Speaker 2: me like, you're not taking care of this dog. Why
Speaker 2: is this dog scratching all the time? What's going on?
Speaker 2: Do you just let her do this? Is she just?
Speaker 2: I was just like, and I'm lashing out to them,
Speaker 2: and they woke up to this barrage of pecks from
Speaker 2: me being like I texted them both together and then
Speaker 2: I individually was like, you are torturing this dog.
Speaker 1: This dog, I'm taking.
Speaker 2: Her back, and like the truth of the matter is
Speaker 2: she's fine, It's not that big of a deal. I
Speaker 2: just took it on as like because I just don't
Speaker 2: want to deal with my own stuff. Probably, I think
Speaker 2: we have to go to break. We'll be right back
Speaker 2: after this. I'm gonna go scratch my dog's assole. What
Speaker 2: have you been watching besides the Olympics, Brian? Anything good?
Speaker 3: When I started watching, I've been going to the movies.
Speaker 1: Oh really, did you see Deadpoole?
Speaker 3: I just thought it?
Speaker 1: Everyone?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw Deadpool this weekend?
Speaker 1: How was it?
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed in the entire direction of the Marvel Cinematic
Speaker 3: universe and Deadpool was supposed to be MCU Jesus and
Speaker 3: I thought that that was going to mean something, and
Speaker 3: I don't think it does. I think it was some
Speaker 3: tongue in cheek self awareness and I don't think it's
Speaker 3: going to amount to much.
Speaker 2: But are you kidding me? Didn't it make a bill?
Speaker 2: Isn't it the number six grossing film of all time?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think individually the film is fine, but I
Speaker 3: am upset for the entire Marvel Cinematic universe and the
Speaker 3: Disney level cash grab that has oversaturated the market and
Speaker 3: created this deluge of shitty movies one after the other.
Speaker 3: And I honestly I blame it all on one thing,
Speaker 3: and that is the multiverse, which I fucking hate. I
Speaker 3: hate the concept of the multiverse. I hate what it's
Speaker 3: done to the Marvel Universe. I hate every because the
Speaker 3: multiverse says that basic nothing matters, that if someone dies
Speaker 3: or if something happens here, that you can always replace
Speaker 3: that person or that character, or you can go back
Speaker 3: in time or go to a different universe and something
Speaker 3: completely different is happening, and that, to me is anethema
Speaker 3: to storytelling. The whole point of a story is to
Speaker 3: have an arc where things change. And if nothing matters
Speaker 3: and there's no stakes, and to me, there's no story,
Speaker 3: there's no point to having the movie in the first place.
Speaker 2: And so when did the multiverse come in? When did
Speaker 2: they come up with this?
Speaker 3: Uh like an MCU or just in general.
Speaker 1: I don't know, And when did it? When did it
Speaker 1: show up? And when did you go this is bullshit?
Speaker 3: Well, so the theory, it's a theory in physics that's
Speaker 3: been around for decades based on like some experiments where uh,
Speaker 3: like you there was like something could be a wave
Speaker 3: and a particle at the same time. I don't thinket into.
Speaker 2: That, but like also meaning like there could be a
Speaker 2: million infinite an infinite amount of different things happening at once.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like.
Speaker 3: The idea is that everything that can happen is concurrently
Speaker 3: happening all at once. Their time is a construct, and
Speaker 3: there's every every time you make a decision or anything changes,
Speaker 3: then that is a new universe is breaking off, and
Speaker 3: all these things are happening. So every little minute change,
Speaker 3: like it could just be like in one university of
Speaker 3: green eyes. In one university you have blue eyes. In
Speaker 3: one universe you have eyes that are one millimeters order.
Speaker 1: But then what other reverse.
Speaker 2: I scratch my dog's left ear and one universe I
Speaker 2: scratched his right ear, and then that's they tear off
Speaker 2: into different.
Speaker 3: And then it goes on and spirals out into in
Speaker 3: one universe you're an octopus, and or in one universe
Speaker 3: you're just shapes. Okay, So and I just think that
Speaker 3: that's just a theory. Everyone's treating that like that's a
Speaker 3: scientific fact, and it's not. It's a theory based on
Speaker 3: experiments that the interpretation of that theory does not mean
Speaker 3: that just because something can be a particle in a
Speaker 3: wave at the same time does not mean that everything
Speaker 3: is happening simultaneously and in one universe you're an octopus.
Speaker 3: God damn it.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what does this have to do with Deadpool?
Speaker 2: And how what could the Deadpool have done differently? Like
Speaker 2: why did do you live?
Speaker 3: I thought this was just so in Deadpool. So mini
Speaker 3: spoiler alert here, it's not hasn't anything to do with
Speaker 3: the story, but mini spoiler alert if you're going to
Speaker 3: watch Deadpool versus Wolverine in the movie, Deadpool flat out
Speaker 3: says that the movies that MCU has been putting out
Speaker 3: since Endgame have not been very good. And the bullet Yes,
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of the Deadpool jokes are making
Speaker 3: fun of the franchise are meta. Yeah, just meta. It's
Speaker 3: a whole meta franchise. And he said that one of
Speaker 3: the reasons why they're so bad is because the multiverse
Speaker 3: is a bad idea and it's ruined everything. And I
Speaker 3: thought what that meant was they're going to fix this
Speaker 3: and they're gonna start making movies that that they're going
Speaker 3: to collapse the metaverse or the multiverse, and they're going
Speaker 3: to have one thing that matters and I don't. And
Speaker 3: I think that was just lip servers. But the most
Speaker 3: frustrating thing about watching Deadpool Versus Wolverine was not the
Speaker 3: movie itself, It was the audience.
Speaker 1: Just loud.
Speaker 3: Well, there's two types of audience members that I think
Speaker 3: really enjoy Deadpoole Versus Wolverine. Well, there's three. There's normal
Speaker 3: people like I hope me that are just watching it
Speaker 3: and enjoying it or whatever. And then there are super
Speaker 3: nerds who are there to enjoy like all of the references,
Speaker 3: and then there are industry nerds who are there to
Speaker 3: enjoy all the meta Hollywood jokes. And both of these
Speaker 3: groups of people are so annoying to sit next to
Speaker 3: you because they do this thing.
Speaker 2: Oh exactly, yep, I know exactly formatively enjoying. They have
Speaker 2: to They have to laugh louder at parts that they
Speaker 2: get that speak to their little niche knowledge so that
Speaker 2: they can make you feel like, wow, that guy behind me.
Speaker 1: Is really smart.
Speaker 2: Oh he must be an agent because he got that
Speaker 2: Hollywood joke.
Speaker 1: He must make a lot of money.
Speaker 3: So there were there was one person in particular who
Speaker 3: was doing this, and this person got up and they
Speaker 3: were going to the bathroom. So they walked on the
Speaker 3: aisle going past everything, and they walked particularly slowly so
Speaker 3: that everyone could like see yeah, yeah and this. While
Speaker 3: they were walking past, they were looking at the screen,
Speaker 3: nodding and smiling, and it's like, dude, just go to
Speaker 3: the fucking bathroom. He came back, and then he did
Speaker 3: it a second time. I'm like, dude, you go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom twice.
Speaker 2: I'm dying to know who this person is and like
Speaker 2: what their job is in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: Well, I got at this is a big ending.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: So the second time this guy walks by, he turns
Speaker 3: to the screen and he this is insane. He's in
Speaker 3: the aisle, he already should feel like he's a distraction.
Speaker 3: He looks at the screen middle of the aisle and
Speaker 3: laughs out loud. So everyone's already distracted by this guy.
Speaker 3: And then he does the fucking I'm smarter than everybody laugh.
Speaker 1: It's so gross.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I look at this guy. I'm looking
Speaker 3: at his face and I'm like, I recognize this guy. Oh,
Speaker 3: I know who that guy is.
Speaker 1: He's an actor.
Speaker 3: He's a comedian. Oh god, And I can tell you
Speaker 3: who he is, but I don't think I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you who he is off or in Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: Diamond players clubber, but I'm like, I know who this
Speaker 3: guy is. He is a well known comedian or not
Speaker 3: well known enough to be like a.
Speaker 2: B Listen, we all need things in life that make
Speaker 2: us feel a little special because we're not all someo
Speaker 2: moan Biles right, Like we need these things that make
Speaker 2: us feel different than the group, smarter than better than
Speaker 2: and it's okay and that's why they're there, and little
Speaker 2: nods that make us feel like, oh, I got that,
Speaker 2: and not everyone else gets it. Like sometimes I'll throw
Speaker 2: out things in my set that even I know, like
Speaker 2: I'll say kah, and I know that most people aren't
Speaker 2: besties in the crowd and don't know what kah is.
Speaker 2: But it's not enough to like alienate people. And I
Speaker 2: would hate if besties were like, oh, like really left
Speaker 2: loud at that to make other people feel bad that
Speaker 2: they didn't get it. I just do it so that
Speaker 2: there's a little nod for them, and of course you
Speaker 2: can laugh or whatever. It happens at Taylor Swift shows
Speaker 2: two where like I never I know, probably I'm probably
Speaker 2: you know, top one percent of Swifties in a crowd
Speaker 2: in terms of like what I know, maybe top two
Speaker 2: percent of like my knowledge and stuff, but I don't
Speaker 2: care if someone doesn't know, And in fact, I want
Speaker 2: when Taylor says, like a joke or there's some kind
Speaker 2: of reference to something, I instantly tell the people I'm
Speaker 2: around so that they are then filled in on it,
Speaker 2: which is not exactly what you should do in this
Speaker 2: movie or whatever, but it is so cold when people
Speaker 2: are desperate to like seem smarter than or I mean,
Speaker 2: I've done it sometimes if I'm at a comedy show
Speaker 2: where like there's like a joke that only comics get
Speaker 2: and I'll laugh extra loud, but I'm kind of doing
Speaker 2: it to let that comic feel like they gotta laugh.
Speaker 1: I'm not so much doing it for myself.
Speaker 2: But we can't all be perfect, and we all are
Speaker 2: definitely seeking some validation and feeling special and that gives
Speaker 2: it to us sometimes.
Speaker 1: But just tone it down a.
Speaker 3: Little bit, yeah, and like we know that you're smart.
Speaker 3: It's also one thing if you're genuinely responding in that
Speaker 3: way and you're just laughing and you can't help it,
Speaker 3: like that is okay, but yeah, sometimes you can just
Speaker 3: tell that this isn't genuine laughter. This is the laughter
Speaker 3: of a narcissist who wants you to know like this.
Speaker 3: One of the guys who was doing it was like
Speaker 3: he also cheered a couple of times, and he was
Speaker 3: literally the only one who cheered, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I think I'm okay with the cheering. Like he cheered
Speaker 3: when like Wolverine popped up or whatever. Yeah, And I
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, there's a couple of moments like that.
Speaker 3: They were a little like comic nerd inside baseball and cheered.
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's okay. I don't mind that because that
Speaker 3: doesn't feel as narcissistic. For some reason, I here thing
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Like a thing to get people together, and sometimes it
Speaker 2: could be annoying, and I'm like a guy will cheer,
Speaker 2: or someone will do something obnoxious in a crowd, and
Speaker 2: I go, if he does it again, then I'm pissed.
Speaker 2: But the one time was kind of fun for us
Speaker 2: all to like laugh at that guy who just shouted
Speaker 2: out something.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: Final thought.
Speaker 2: I was talking to Chris about this actually yesterday, about
Speaker 2: how people act or they act like they're just phony
Speaker 2: in some way to get people to like them. And
Speaker 2: we've all done it, we're all capable of it, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I think I'm rather vigilant that I don't.
Speaker 2: I really don't ever want to be someone who does that,
Speaker 2: but it happens to me too sometimes, Like if I'm
Speaker 2: at a Taylor Shop show, sometimes I will want someone
Speaker 2: to film me so that I have some footage of
Speaker 2: myself there at the show. And when the camera's on me,
Speaker 2: when I know someone's filming me, maybe I'll play it
Speaker 2: up a little bit more how I'm singing or dancing,
Speaker 2: but not really like I'm still kind of I still
Speaker 2: in my head, go Nikki, just try to do what
Speaker 2: you would do normally, like and I always try to
Speaker 2: keep it not so performative because it's really.
Speaker 3: Hard professional at that. And like I think anybody who's
Speaker 3: put on camera starts acting strange.
Speaker 1: Yes they do.
Speaker 3: It's extreme. That's like one the most difficult thing to do,
Speaker 3: to act natural when someone's filming you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true, but I just it is a
Speaker 2: tough thing to do and to not be like on
Speaker 2: when there's a camera on you and it's it's yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right. It is like a skill to let go
Speaker 2: of that. But it's sometimes I wish I could be
Speaker 2: a little bit more on when it cameras on me.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm a little bit too comfortable, a little too
Speaker 2: slouched over, a little too just like meandering like I
Speaker 2: am right now. But I yeah, I was just talking
Speaker 2: about that of just how like people can be phony.
Speaker 2: But I do want to start going to see movies
Speaker 2: in crowds more because it just feels like a social
Speaker 2: thing to do. And I get lost in my phone
Speaker 2: when I'm when I'm at home, and I want to
Speaker 2: go see Inside Out too. I this weekend, we watched
Speaker 2: what did we watch?
Speaker 1: We watched?
Speaker 2: I finished presumed innocent, and I can't have opinions about
Speaker 2: I'm It's like the Tina Fey thing that she said
Speaker 2: to Bow and Yang, like you're too famous to have
Speaker 2: opinions about art anymore. Did you see that clip where
Speaker 2: she was like, you can't do this. You're gonna run
Speaker 2: into these people, right, you don't get to you reach
Speaker 2: a certain level of fame, you don't have to get
Speaker 2: to have real opinions about things you consume. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna work with these people potentially, So
Speaker 2: I can't share my opinion of it.
Speaker 1: I actually really did enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I did predict the ending it was Chris and I
Speaker 2: do this really fun thing where we just constantly pause
Speaker 2: the thing and go, what do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 2: And we always try to predict what's gonna happen, and
Speaker 2: it just gives it some steaks. It's very much enjoyable
Speaker 2: that the ending was insane. I wish I could share
Speaker 2: my thoughts about it. I have really nothing negative to
Speaker 2: say except that, like, I don't know why everyone was
Speaker 2: in love with this girl so much. If you watch
Speaker 2: presume innocent, like they're just not showing me how the twist,
Speaker 2: Like again with the Simone Biles, like, I want to
Speaker 2: understand how cool that you tell me this move is cool,
Speaker 2: and of course any she does a back handspring, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's cool. Show me why this one is particularly cool.
Speaker 3: If you saw someone just do a back handspring and
Speaker 3: like walking around, you'd be like, oh my god, that
Speaker 3: was the most amazing.
Speaker 1: Thing and blow your mind.
Speaker 2: And then so when she does this, I'm like, yes,
Speaker 2: it's cool, but I don't understand why that's so much
Speaker 2: cooler than what the other gymnasts can do.
Speaker 3: Because what you need is every olympian to have a
Speaker 3: little backstory with an animal that you get to watch
Speaker 3: before they do their event.
Speaker 2: That would be sweet, A little yes, a little backstory
Speaker 2: where well or just like I want to hear about friendships,
Speaker 2: which I really liked Alie Reisman I think her name
Speaker 2: is and Simone Biles. Their friendship is adorable. I want
Speaker 2: to see relationships. I love the Quarterback Show because it
Speaker 2: shows like they're how they meet everyone. These guys, all
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks are the same. They are so similar. They
Speaker 2: all meet their girlfriends in college, early college or late
Speaker 2: high school, and they're with them throughout the whole thing,
Speaker 2: and they are all. I love quarterbacks. I'm obsessed with them.
Speaker 2: I think it's my favorite position. I don't really know
Speaker 2: the other positions yet, but I gotta watch that receivers thing.
Speaker 2: But I'm obsessed with quarterbacks. And the other night, Chris
Speaker 2: gave me the best compliment ever. He like paused that
Speaker 2: we were watching the Quarterback Show, and he paused the
Speaker 2: show and he goes, I'm not just this, I I
Speaker 2: think you'd be.
Speaker 1: A really good quarterback. Wow, Like, oh.
Speaker 2: My god, I think it's the best compliment I've ever
Speaker 2: gotten in my life.
Speaker 3: I think, so water in your veins. When when the
Speaker 3: when the whistle blows. You perform, and that's the most
Speaker 3: You're not going to get rattled. You're not gonna if
Speaker 3: you throw one interception, You're not going to throw five interceptions.
Speaker 2: You're going to move on and and and you are
Speaker 2: able to consume a lot of information at once yep,
Speaker 2: and make sense of it and choose and pick and
Speaker 2: choose really quickly what you want to do, the route
Speaker 2: you want to take.
Speaker 3: The decision making is the most important.
Speaker 1: It's so cool.
Speaker 2: It was the nicest compliment, and I didn't disagree with them.
Speaker 2: I do think that they the one The show I'm
Speaker 2: watching Cover it shows uh Mariota.
Speaker 3: What's his name, Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota, Patrick Mahomes, and Kirk Cousins, Okay, and they're
Speaker 2: all just like simple, They're not really show body at all.
Speaker 2: I think the receivers are more like the coming up
Speaker 2: with the dances and wanting to kind of be kind
Speaker 2: of in the spotlight. More quarterbacks seem to be pretty
Speaker 2: understated and kind of dorky. Is that a correct assumption.
Speaker 3: Depends on the guy. Like one of the most popular
Speaker 3: quarterbacks the last twenty years, Brett Farv I guess you
Speaker 3: could say in.
Speaker 2: A way he was a little understated, but not dorky,
Speaker 2: really not dorky.
Speaker 3: I feel like that was like a cowboy.
Speaker 2: Well it's only know about him, whereas it was like
Speaker 2: a yellow his penis was literally like yellow colored.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess if you're going to judge them
Speaker 3: based on the colors of their dicks, and they're all dorky.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just seems like really dorky to
Speaker 2: send him dick pick. I just think that's kind of
Speaker 2: just some one who doesn't want it. Like, not only
Speaker 2: is that like assault brother, but it's also like it's
Speaker 2: just a dork thing to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they're not really reading the room. You're right,
Speaker 3: there's all there is. Just also, you know what though,
Speaker 3: there's just also a lot of gen Z. Gen Z
Speaker 3: is like kind of dorky like, and popular people are dorky, like, Okay,
Speaker 3: they've they've gone beyond nerd culture and they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I love anime or there's so some of the coolest
Speaker 3: people in the NFL are like anime fans and they're
Speaker 3: just like, we're so cool.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed.
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with Patrick mahomessessed with Kirk Cousins, the Mariota guy.
Speaker 2: They're not spending as much time on, but they're so cute.
Speaker 2: They're so dedicated, they work so hard, their bodies go
Speaker 2: through so fucking much.
Speaker 1: I just can't.
Speaker 2: Believe there is a sport where these guys get essentially
Speaker 2: like in a car accident every single day and it's legal.
Speaker 1: I just can't believe it. And they work like it's
Speaker 1: just so.
Speaker 2: This show Quarterback is so fascinating to see the training
Speaker 2: they go through and their diets and just the the
Speaker 2: how they have to memorize all the plays. I don't
Speaker 2: understand plays at all. I don't understand how they can
Speaker 2: sail these things really quickly and everyone understands it, because
Speaker 2: there's got to be what you got to assume there's
Speaker 2: one guy out on the field who didn't do his
Speaker 2: homework and doesn't know what that play is and is
Speaker 2: just like whoops and is too scared to ask.
Speaker 3: Right, that's gotta gets confused. Yeah, yeah, I mean that
Speaker 3: happened a couple of times to our boy Rodney Thomas
Speaker 3: last season, and that's why he lost his starting position
Speaker 3: because he just got confused with the coverage.
Speaker 1: Oh is that what? It's called when yeah, the coverage.
Speaker 3: Well, for him, the play, he's a defensive player, so
Speaker 3: he the defensive play is usually called the coverage, and
Speaker 3: he's a safety and he mixed he mixed up his
Speaker 3: coverage with the who is a Pro Bowl veteran guy,
Speaker 3: and so it's clearly his fault. Did it twice, and
Speaker 3: it was in really important moments in the games.
Speaker 2: And that's why I can't imagine it wouldn't happen all
Speaker 2: the time that these guys are not Like, these guys
Speaker 2: are famous, they're making millions there suddenly like have a
Speaker 2: lot more responsibility, things to do. They have family, and
Speaker 2: then they have to study this playbook. And I know,
Speaker 2: and Chris keeps going nicky, it's their job. It's all
Speaker 2: they've done their whole lives.
Speaker 1: Is their job.
Speaker 2: That's how they do it. And I'm like, but it
Speaker 2: still seems rather complicated. Even there's one scene where Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes had to ask the ref is it cool if
Speaker 2: can quarterbacks be in motion during the what's it called?
Speaker 2: And they're throwing when they're throwing the ball back between
Speaker 2: the legs the hike, Yeah, like you know how right
Speaker 2: before the hike they start like running around like there's
Speaker 2: the defense will start going the like run and then
Speaker 2: run back. They can be in motion. Well, he didn't
Speaker 2: know if quarterbacks could be in motion. He literally had
Speaker 2: to ask the ref who did Patrick Mahomes really yes, Chris,
Speaker 2: why didn't he know that? He was like, because it's
Speaker 2: like the rules are sometimes unclear.
Speaker 3: Well, because, yeah, that is because normally quarterbacks never go
Speaker 3: in motion. Chris from they can go from under to shotgun,
Speaker 3: which is just like a few steps behind the center.
Speaker 3: And then it was probably some wacky Andy Reid play
Speaker 3: because he always does whacky plays that like no one's
Speaker 3: ever done before. And he like wasn't sure if that's
Speaker 3: even legal. So, yeah, I guess that makes sense in
Speaker 3: that situation.
Speaker 2: It made me feel seen because I didn't know either. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's new things coming up that I don't understand all
Speaker 2: the time in football.
Speaker 1: It's really fascinating.
Speaker 2: I'm slowly chugging along trying to understand it, but I'm
Speaker 2: getting way better at it, way better, but it's still
Speaker 2: so confusing. All Right, we have to go. Thank you
Speaker 2: for joining us for this bonus episode. These dogs lasted
Speaker 2: the whole time. I'm so proud of them. She got
Speaker 2: the hedgehog off the table. We talked about the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I still bestie. Send me clips, try to give me
Speaker 2: the cry about the Olympics. I want to be on board.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be left out. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to get you on my side. I want to be
Speaker 2: a part of this national emotional moment that I seem
Speaker 2: to be, you know, unaffected by, and I want in.
Speaker 1: So get me.
Speaker 2: Let's see if you can do it. We have more
Speaker 2: show coming up this week. We'll see you then, don't Beka.
Speaker 1: Bye.
