Speaker 1: The Nicki Gliser Podcast. Glaser.
Speaker 2: Here's Nikki.
Speaker 3: Hello here, I am welcome to the show. It's Nicky
Speaker 3: Glazer podcast. Joining me today are Brian and Noah. Anya
Speaker 3: is not here because she is in Canada and they
Speaker 3: don't have Wi Fi in Canada, so it's not working.
Speaker 3: Wherever she is Nova Scotia. Where is she's Nova Scotia. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: she's like at a cabin on a lake. So what oh?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used the word no at the beginning of Nova.
Speaker 1: It is a pun for no.
Speaker 3: Before we got started on the show today, just seconds ago,
Speaker 3: Noah and Brian were remembering local TV ads in the
Speaker 3: New York area, and Noah had one that Brian didn't recognize,
Speaker 3: and then Brian said, Selena and Barnes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Selena and Barnes is a injury attorneys in New
Speaker 1: York area, and they had a catchy phrase.
Speaker 4: You know Selena and Barnes.
Speaker 2: You do?
Speaker 4: Maybe I know it from living in New York.
Speaker 1: Sure, No, they were there when you were there, But.
Speaker 3: I don't think I watched TV in New York. How
Speaker 3: would I have seen this. I'm very confused, But maybe
Speaker 3: I did. Maybe I remember they didn't have It was
Speaker 3: TV and listening to the local radio either, but I
Speaker 3: do know maybe they yes, subway ads or something. Okay, anyway,
Speaker 3: so what about Selena and Barnes? Did you want to
Speaker 3: tell us and you said I save it for the show.
Speaker 3: This better be good. I'm just kidding measures on.
Speaker 1: First of all, nothing I say is worthy of that
Speaker 1: type of god.
Speaker 5: No, can you do you remember this Selena on Barnes?
Speaker 2: Yes, Seleno and Barnes injury attorney attorney call eight eight
Speaker 2: eight eight eight eight eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. Well, well, Barnes is dead, Barnes is dyed.
Speaker 1: He died. No, it was a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: but he died in a helicopter crash.
Speaker 4: Holy fuck, Yeah, I do remember this.
Speaker 5: Yes, what Yeah, he died in a helicopter crash or
Speaker 5: maybe it was like a small plane, but he was
Speaker 5: flying it and he died. So it's like, yeah, it's tragic,
Speaker 5: but also like he was flying the plane, so people
Speaker 5: are like, okay, well, you know, he took the risk
Speaker 5: and he didn't pan out. But it's funny about it
Speaker 5: or not funny. But what's interesting about it is that
Speaker 5: the billboards around the city that used to say Selena
Speaker 5: on Barnes within like ten days, it was just Seleno
Speaker 5: injury attorney.
Speaker 3: Oh, he was so excited to finally get Barnes out
Speaker 3: of the way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I bet you. He was ready to break up
Speaker 5: with Barnes. He was sick of having Selena on Barnes.
Speaker 5: He just he wanted it to be just solito eight
Speaker 5: eight eight eight.
Speaker 1: And now he's got it.
Speaker 5: So I haven't heard any song yet, but it makes
Speaker 5: me wonder if there's a conspiracy theory that perhaps Seleno
Speaker 5: sabotaged the helicopter. Really, I mean, it's my conspiracy theory.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: I just would love to see him get the call
Speaker 3: that it happened. That's what that's footage I want to
Speaker 3: see of. Like no, and he's writing things down right away,
Speaker 3: like and he's waving it for his secretary. Get on
Speaker 3: the billboards. He's out, he's done. Oh he does like
Speaker 3: a mime of a plane going into his desk. She's
Speaker 3: like no, she's crying. He's like, get over it, Move
Speaker 3: on these billboards. Get kits Burns's name out of there.
Speaker 3: There is something so man, when I hear of a
Speaker 3: plane crash, I'm on it. I want to know everything
Speaker 3: about that's why I know about this, like just a
Speaker 3: tragedy like that. God, I got really into who's the
Speaker 3: woman Patsy Klein died in a plane crash. Read about
Speaker 3: her a lot the other day. Had no idea that
Speaker 3: she died that way, and it's so tragic. And she
Speaker 3: used to like have premonitions that she was going to die.
Speaker 3: She used to like tell people she was in a
Speaker 3: really bad car crash where she almost got scalped to death,
Speaker 3: like a couple of years before her plane crash, and
Speaker 3: she survived that, and then the plane not so much.
Speaker 3: And God, there was one I read about over the
Speaker 3: weekend that was, oh.
Speaker 2: God, oh there's a couple bad crashes over the weekend.
Speaker 4: Girl was there?
Speaker 2: I think, maybe you're about to talk about the one
Speaker 2: at the air show or something.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I did read about that last night. There's, you know,
Speaker 3: in my Reddit search of last images, where it's the
Speaker 3: last image of a person. There was a guy taking
Speaker 3: a selfie and behind him was like this pilot that
Speaker 3: was standing on the wing of her plane being like
Speaker 3: I'm getting ready to go up and fly, and it
Speaker 3: was like she died and then there was like a
Speaker 3: crash at an air show, and then the air show
Speaker 3: kept going, and then there was another crash or something
Speaker 3: like that. God at the same air show. They were like,
Speaker 3: we just got to keep going, and then there was
Speaker 3: another one. That's just what I read in a Reddit comment,
Speaker 3: so who knows if it's true. But this was also
Speaker 3: in Last Images where I read all my morbid stuff.
Speaker 3: It was a girl in a helicopter with her It
Speaker 3: was it was a screenshot from like the video, and
Speaker 3: she's in a helicopter with her brother, and she's in
Speaker 3: a wedding gown. She had the idea to surprise her
Speaker 3: groom by helicoptering into instead of being walked down the aisle,
Speaker 3: a helicopter in and he has no idea, so he's waiting.
Speaker 3: Everyone's waiting at the ceremony. Here comes the bride and
Speaker 3: they all start getting alerts on their phone. This is
Speaker 3: what I'm guessing, because it kind of said something like this,
Speaker 3: that there was a helicopter crash a mile away and
Speaker 3: no one at the wedding knew that she was coming
Speaker 3: in by a helicopter because it was a surprise except
Speaker 3: one person, So that one person was probably like, there
Speaker 3: was what wait, sorry, I share that with me. There
Speaker 3: was a a mile a mile away. Okay, oh god,
Speaker 3: oh god.
Speaker 4: And had to like tell people and she it was
Speaker 4: really foggy.
Speaker 3: Guys, if it's fogging up, yeah, not don't go in
Speaker 3: a helicopter. Just don't go in a helicopter. Don't go
Speaker 3: in a helicopter. I did it in Hawaiian. It was
Speaker 3: one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life, going
Speaker 3: over this like cliff that had a waterfall and then
Speaker 3: you just right over it. You're like, it's all grasp
Speaker 3: beneath you. And then you go over it and it's
Speaker 3: like Jurassic Park and it's like this huge. It was
Speaker 3: one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in
Speaker 3: my life. Still not worth it now that I think
Speaker 3: back on it, because I could have died. And I
Speaker 3: just get so nervous about those propellers. I have dreams
Speaker 3: where all I'm doing is ducking as I'm walking into
Speaker 3: near a helicopter. You ever hear about people that are
Speaker 3: like plane propellers that they're just walking out of the
Speaker 3: plane and yes, oh my god, and they just walk
Speaker 3: right into it because you can't see it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't seek this stuff out so't.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen this specific story about it, but I
Speaker 5: do know that I'm very mad at places like seemingly
Speaker 5: innocent publications like People magazine because they just love and
Speaker 5: on my news app when they pop up, it's always
Speaker 5: something like bride.
Speaker 1: And groom die on the way to their wedding or
Speaker 1: I gotta subscribe then, man, who.
Speaker 4: It's it's fear porn.
Speaker 3: People get addicted to it kind of is, and I like,
Speaker 3: I love being scared of things and having my fears
Speaker 3: validated because I'm not doing this stuff anyway, so it
Speaker 3: makes me feel like, good job, Nikki. You're not going skydiving,
Speaker 3: You're not going to a rodeo, You're not going to
Speaker 3: a monster truck rally. This is the right thing to do. Which,
Speaker 3: by the way, what is the point of a monster
Speaker 3: truck rally?
Speaker 4: Is? Is it? Really?
Speaker 3: I mean, people could say the same thing about a
Speaker 3: tailor stift concert. I really want to understand. Is it
Speaker 3: very exciting to see cars go way up in the
Speaker 3: air and like fall in some mud, like.
Speaker 5: They smash other cars though they smash other cars too.
Speaker 4: Why is that entertaining?
Speaker 3: I realized another fear of mine over the weekend because
Speaker 3: I went to go see Barbie and there was a
Speaker 3: ad for I usually love, you know, trailers, but they're
Speaker 3: there's just too much action going on. I close my
Speaker 3: eyes during any car chase scene. It is not the
Speaker 3: fear of the crash. I don't like when a beautiful
Speaker 3: new car. Even there was a Barbie chase scene, I
Speaker 3: close my eyes during it. If anyone in listening saw Barbie.
Speaker 3: There's a scene where she is in like definitely a
Speaker 3: Chevy truck that they bought an ad for because it's
Speaker 3: all Chevys chasing each other and this Chevy like you
Speaker 3: press a button and it like it goes faster. There's
Speaker 3: not that button in the Chevy that you buy. I
Speaker 3: don't understand why they even like are selling. People are
Speaker 3: gonna be like, where's that button that makes you go
Speaker 3: hundreds of miles an hour faster than the cops. Anyway,
Speaker 3: she's in a Chevy and it's like a new I
Speaker 3: don't like watching new cars go up on curbs and
Speaker 3: like have their axles like disrupted. It really really bothers
Speaker 3: me because there's going to be so like I hate
Speaker 3: hitting a bump or like, and in car chases, they're
Speaker 3: always going over curbs and they're they're breaking really fast
Speaker 3: and there's smoke and I'm like, oh, the tires are
Speaker 3: being damaged. I don't like watching Damn Midge interesting well either,
Speaker 3: I don't like watching people get yeah.
Speaker 1: Like people getting damaged.
Speaker 3: Why don't you like for I like hearing about like
Speaker 3: complete destruction, Like I didn't mind the cars that are
Speaker 3: like being slammed into each other and like they're totaled.
Speaker 4: But if you still have to drive that Chevy.
Speaker 3: Around after it's been in this chase, I feel like
Speaker 3: its alignment is gonna be off. It's a brand new car,
Speaker 3: You're just ruining it. I think I also have like
Speaker 3: my mom's voice in my head like you just got
Speaker 3: this car, Nick you oh the and my dad being
Speaker 3: like you know what, my dad talks about car alignment
Speaker 3: more than his love of his grandchildren. Like there's every
Speaker 3: car the alignments off. I go to get the tires rotated,
Speaker 3: every single car the alignments off. Any curb, you hit,
Speaker 3: any little bump, the alignments off. So I have that
Speaker 3: kind of paranoia. But I don't like car chasing scenes.
Speaker 3: Although there was an ad for this new movie called
Speaker 3: Grand Turismo which is gonna bomb, probably but it's about
Speaker 3: like people who play the Grand Triesmo video game and
Speaker 3: then they are recruited to like play and there's a
Speaker 3: guy in it that I find myself wildly attracted to,
Speaker 3: and I don't I don't know what happened. I've seen
Speaker 3: this guy before. I was never into him, and then
Speaker 3: he showed up on the trailer and I was like,
Speaker 3: that guy's hot and he it made me feel the
Speaker 3: same way I felt as like a young girl when
Speaker 3: I've I talk about it on stage sometime when I
Speaker 3: first was attracted to JFK. Junior when I was in
Speaker 3: eighth grade, I was like, I'm a woman now because
Speaker 3: I'm like attract to do a man and this guy,
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm growing up because there's just when
Speaker 3: you get start getting attracted to fifty sixty year old men,
Speaker 3: like you're like, oh, I'm just getting older, Like my
Speaker 3: body's just regulating to what I deserve now because I'm
Speaker 3: my skin is older.
Speaker 4: So who's the guy?
Speaker 1: And it's David Hard. He's yeah, a guy from the
Speaker 1: Sheriff Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: And I haven't seen stranger things, but my god, there's
Speaker 3: something about him in this He just seems kind and giant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a very big man.
Speaker 1: That's the characters he plays, kind and giant.
Speaker 3: He seems a little stern in this one too, like
Speaker 3: he's not putting up with these little gamers.
Speaker 4: Bullshit, that's exactly what.
Speaker 1: He's a sheriff.
Speaker 4: Oh he is, Okay.
Speaker 3: I think I saw the first episode of Stranger Things.
Speaker 3: I do remember him, and I've seen this guy before.
Speaker 3: He's married to Lily Allen. Don't even think I didn't
Speaker 3: research it. She's my age. Not that I want a
Speaker 3: chance with this guy. I'm very happy in my relationship,
Speaker 3: but I was like, uh, oh, new attraction unlocked. I've
Speaker 3: never been attracted to anyone who looks like him, even remotely.
Speaker 3: This is like a he's just a burly man, like
Speaker 3: a bear man. Yeah, never have been into a bear.
Speaker 3: I like Ki Kis, I don't like Buba's.
Speaker 1: He's definitely got a Uh.
Speaker 5: He's definitely typecast as a tough, lovable guy like he
Speaker 5: was in as Yeah, he was in the Black Widow
Speaker 5: movie as he played a Russian at first villain who
Speaker 5: was really tough, but then it turns out that he
Speaker 5: was a sweet man.
Speaker 3: And then he was in He's got a kindness. He
Speaker 3: looks like he could be Bigfoot.
Speaker 5: Or he could be Santa Claus, which he was in
Speaker 5: Violent Night, where he played Santa Claus defending a house
Speaker 5: from intruders and killing people violently.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I did see that picture of him on that and
Speaker 3: I thought he was like in a horror movie about
Speaker 3: Santa But no, he's a good guy in that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think it's more like in the genre of like
Speaker 5: Cocaine Bear, where it's just like so over the top
Speaker 5: ridiculous state.
Speaker 1: It's funny but also entertaining.
Speaker 4: That was a new thing for me.
Speaker 3: I did see Barbie this weekend, and it was it
Speaker 3: was everything I wanted it to be, you know, I
Speaker 3: like lowered my I tempered my expectations because it was
Speaker 3: so built up and I was thinking, this is going
Speaker 3: to be the next mean Girls like this seminal comedy
Speaker 3: classic that I would revisit the rest of my life.
Speaker 4: Was it that?
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't that. Will I don't need to ever
Speaker 3: see Barbie. I might need to see it if I was.
Speaker 3: I would watch it with Chris again and just I
Speaker 3: would like to get his take on it. I would
Speaker 3: like to watch it with the Girl's Trip get your guys'
Speaker 3: take on it. That's the only reason I really want
Speaker 3: to see it again. But not because it wasn't good.
Speaker 3: Do you ever see a movie where you're like, you
Speaker 3: leave and you go, oh, that was okay, but then
Speaker 3: you can't stop thinking about it and you go, wait
Speaker 3: a second.
Speaker 4: I think it was probably.
Speaker 3: Really good because you should be able to get a
Speaker 3: bad movie. It should leave your head right away. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, maybe I'm not. I'm thinking a lot
Speaker 3: about what just happened. So it was like that for me.
Speaker 3: It was my favorite part of the whole movie. I
Speaker 3: told Brian this last night, but.
Speaker 2: Oh, we need on a spoiler horn.
Speaker 4: This isn't a spoiler.
Speaker 3: I just sound like I'm having an asthma, like a
Speaker 3: fucking pose having a seizure.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know she does it, but.
Speaker 3: There's just one line that really First of all, here
Speaker 3: let me just give you some headlines and these aren't spoilers.
Speaker 3: And this everyone has heard. If you've read anything about Barbie,
Speaker 3: you know this stuff. Ryan Gosling is a comedy treasure.
Speaker 3: I want to go back and watch everything he's ever done,
Speaker 3: just in search of sponging out any even more self comedy,
Speaker 3: although I will say he was really funny in that
Speaker 3: Wild Crazy Love or What Crazy fucked Up Love. There's
Speaker 3: some movie where he is training Steve Carell's character to
Speaker 3: be crazy stupid love. He's great in that, and he
Speaker 3: was kind of funny and charming. I mean, he's always charming.
Speaker 3: But my god, him is Ken. I mean, you've seen
Speaker 3: the trailers for it. I'm guessing where he's just like,
Speaker 3: there's this one trailer that doesn't give anything way. It's
Speaker 3: in the trailer Everyone Came Down where she's like, he's
Speaker 3: injured and he's at the doctor and they're like, you're healed.
Speaker 3: In the second and the sentence that I'm talking to you,
Speaker 3: you've healed completely because it's Barbie Land and everything is fine.
Speaker 3: And then he's like, Barbie, you know, my job isn't
Speaker 3: even lifeguard.
Speaker 4: It's not even lifeguard. My job is beach.
Speaker 3: And she goes, I know Ken, and he's like, cool, Barbie,
Speaker 3: and then he goes like, Barbie, can I come? So
Speaker 3: Barbie Ken's all existence is based on whether Barbie looks
Speaker 3: at him.
Speaker 4: That's what that's like.
Speaker 3: The first line of the movie is like, and there's
Speaker 3: a narrator that's like, and Ken's only purpose is if
Speaker 3: Bobby talks to him that day, and so.
Speaker 4: She's like hi, Ken, and he's like eh.
Speaker 3: And then she says hi to another Ken and he's
Speaker 3: like sad again, and he's.
Speaker 4: Just so he's so fucking good.
Speaker 3: You gotta see the movie just for him, and also
Speaker 3: to stare at Margot Robbie's stunning face the whole time.
Speaker 3: It's just fun to watch her face. She is incredible.
Speaker 3: So there is one part that I love, and this
Speaker 3: is my favorite line in the whole thing, and I'm
Speaker 3: not ruining any of the plot by saying this, but
Speaker 3: there is a moment where Barbie is bedraggled looking and
Speaker 3: her beauty has been kind of stripped away, and it's
Speaker 3: this pivotal moment where she's realizing that, like all of
Speaker 3: the her worth was in her beauty almost and now
Speaker 3: she's ugly and she doesn't feel like she's worthwhile anymore.
Speaker 3: And she's telling America Ferrara's character like, and I'm ugly now,
Speaker 3: and she's supposed to look ugly.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: She has no makeup, her hair is flat, she's like
Speaker 3: laying on the ground. Her face has been in the
Speaker 3: AstroTurf and she rolls over and she's like, and.
Speaker 4: I'm ugly and no one will love me.
Speaker 3: She says something like that, and then the movie pauses,
Speaker 3: and oh my god, I had the quote saved. Let
Speaker 3: me just pull up the quote really quick. I know
Speaker 3: this is annoying because I screenshotted it because I wanted
Speaker 3: to get it right.
Speaker 4: It says.
Speaker 3: During the heartbreaking speech, Barbie admits that she never feels
Speaker 3: good enough and not pretty enough, despite essentially being the
Speaker 3: perfect woman. It's then that the narrator, who has been
Speaker 3: silent for most of the film, chimes in with note
Speaker 3: to filmmakers, Margo Robbie is not the right person to
Speaker 3: cast to make this point. It was so refreshing because
Speaker 3: what movie in the middle of the movie says the
Speaker 3: actor's name, which is insane. But you could tell that
Speaker 3: they'd made this adjustment because they were I would love
Speaker 3: to interview if I ever talked to Greto Gerwig, I
Speaker 3: would ask her, when did you put that line in?
Speaker 3: Because was it after you were probably watching it, You're
Speaker 3: probably doing screenings and it just wasn't resonating and you
Speaker 3: needed to address the obvious, which was this woman's too beautiful,
Speaker 3: and to prove a point about women feeling ugly, you're
Speaker 3: using the wrong person. And they probably just went into
Speaker 3: ADR the next day and were like, let's just quickly
Speaker 3: get this line from Helen Mirren. Helen min was probably
Speaker 3: in a hotel room in Prague, like with a blanket
Speaker 3: over her head, just being like note to filmmakers, and
Speaker 3: she was like, I'm doing aran was.
Speaker 5: The narrator, Yeah, Michael, Helen Mirren is doing everything she
Speaker 5: is doing at least I mean she is, well she yeah,
Speaker 5: she's narrating all sorts of things.
Speaker 1: She's saying yes to things that she shouldn't say yes to.
Speaker 5: Like like what she was the host of the Harry
Speaker 5: Potter quiz show that was on Hulu, and she clearly
Speaker 5: like didn't get like what the point of the show
Speaker 5: was and maybe didn't really see Harry Potter or something,
Speaker 5: because every time she would ask a question, if she
Speaker 5: would read it like a a grandmother referencing something that
Speaker 5: her grandchild.
Speaker 3: Likes, like like the quote unquote Jiggy with it.
Speaker 5: Exactly in the movie, and then she'd have to make
Speaker 5: she was every time there is a game show or
Speaker 5: there is something like that that needs to be hosted,
Speaker 5: you need to cast a comedian. It is so awkward
Speaker 5: when an actor like hal Helen Mirren is forced to
Speaker 5: make a funny retort or witty banter or something in
Speaker 5: a situation like that. It's it's crazy so that in
Speaker 5: that game show, she's like, yeah, so she says things
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 1: In the first Harry Potter film, Hermione Granger did magic
Speaker 1: for which house and then they have to guess and
Speaker 1: they're like, uh, huffle puff, and then she has to
Speaker 1: say and then she has to make like a joke
Speaker 1: because they got it wrong and that's like an easy question.
Speaker 1: Then she'll say something like, oh no, it appears the
Speaker 1: quidditch snitch got out of your hand, and it's.
Speaker 5: Like, clearly someone wrote that for Who's not funny? And
Speaker 5: then she delivered it as if because she didn't really
Speaker 5: know what the words.
Speaker 1: Meant, but she said them. That's what it felt like
Speaker 1: the whole show.
Speaker 3: People don't people just think that anyone can do this
Speaker 3: stuff because they're famous and that's enough, and it you know,
Speaker 3: oftentimes it is enough that they're famous and that's good enough.
Speaker 3: But you're so right, there's so many awkward hosts of
Speaker 3: things and just because they're famous and it's excruciating to
Speaker 3: watch and thank god for that. Because comedians being stand
Speaker 3: to comedians, it's like we get bored of stand up.
Speaker 4: We like to do other things.
Speaker 3: We're not always the best actor, Like people don't trust
Speaker 3: us to put us in that stuff, but thank god
Speaker 3: we can do that shit. But we have to take
Speaker 3: a break. We'll be right back with Helen Mirren. She
Speaker 3: said yes to coming on our set.
Speaker 4: She just does outdeping. All right, we're back. So I
Speaker 4: saw the Barbie movie and I was and delighted. I
Speaker 4: went alone. I went alone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was coming back from a lunch with my
Speaker 3: friend Lizzie, and then I was just like, man, I've
Speaker 3: got a whole afternoon of nothing to do, which I'm
Speaker 3: very uncomfortable with. And even though I complain about being
Speaker 3: overscheduled all the time, and I was like, I do
Speaker 3: want to see Barbie. It's like one thing that I've
Speaker 3: I haven't wanted to do anything like this and so long,
Speaker 3: but it was like, I really want to go see that.
Speaker 3: I want to be a part of the zeit, guys.
Speaker 3: I want to be able to talk about it with people,
Speaker 3: even though no one in my life has seen No.
Speaker 3: I tried desperately last night. I'm working on this project
Speaker 3: and there was one girl who's seen it, and I
Speaker 3: was trying to flag her down to be like, can
Speaker 3: we talk about it? But none of my girlfriends have
Speaker 3: seen it, none of my family has seen it.
Speaker 4: No one in my life has seen it.
Speaker 3: I could have waited, but anyway, I want to talk
Speaker 3: about it desperately with people.
Speaker 4: And but so I wanted to.
Speaker 1: Take a Barbenheimer phenomenon.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't.
Speaker 3: My friend Lizzie saw Oppenheimer and she has a new
Speaker 3: joke that she was like, I saw three movies this weekend.
Speaker 3: It was Oppenheimer, which I like because it was too long.
Speaker 3: Barbie's an hour and fifty four minutes.
Speaker 4: I checked.
Speaker 3: I any movie I put in my phone, Google just
Speaker 3: fills in because it knows that I need to know
Speaker 3: running time. Yeah, I need to know how long this
Speaker 3: motherfucker is going to take. And you beite your ass.
Speaker 3: I knew exactly the I looked at my phone the
Speaker 3: minute the trailer was trailers were over, so I could
Speaker 3: go one hour and fifty four minutes from this time,
Speaker 3: I will be out of here.
Speaker 4: I'm just always looking for things to be over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oppenheimer, she said there was too much music in it,
Speaker 3: Like there's a beach scene and it's like.
Speaker 4: There's like he's going to bed.
Speaker 3: They're like like it's like the music is constantly swelling
Speaker 3: to this crescendo of of of anxiety, and yeah, I
Speaker 3: just hear it's super anxious. But I do want to
Speaker 3: see it just so I know references, and I would
Speaker 3: like to see it with Chris, and I would like
Speaker 3: to see it when we can pause it, because that
Speaker 3: was something I wanted to do during the Barbie movie.
Speaker 3: I missed a good chunk because I had to go
Speaker 3: to the bathroom at one point and I wanted to
Speaker 3: pose it, but I couldn't do that.
Speaker 1: But you know about the Barbenheimer phenomenon this meme.
Speaker 4: Well, I know about people going to see a double.
Speaker 3: Yes, many people did, because Oppenheimer only has made three
Speaker 3: hundred million and Barbie has made seven hundred million.
Speaker 5: So yeah, well they definitely drafted off of each other,
Speaker 5: and certainly Oppenheimer I think drafted off of Barbie because
Speaker 5: I don't think it would have been as popular if not.
Speaker 1: I had no idea even.
Speaker 4: What that movie was until it was all a Barbie.
Speaker 5: Like a different well it's like The Dark Knight and
Speaker 5: then okay, exception and stuff.
Speaker 3: So when boy read it, they were talking about Oppenheimer
Speaker 3: a lot, like Chris already knew about it as soon
Speaker 3: as I was like, what is this Oppenheimer thing? Because
Speaker 3: I just only knew it as attached to Barbie. But
Speaker 3: what a great marketing scheme.
Speaker 1: Well, I think this. I think that they didn't plan this.
Speaker 5: I think this is the Internet being sarcastic and ironic
Speaker 5: and saying that they're gonna go see both movies, and
Speaker 5: then the studios just fucking hit the jackpot. It was
Speaker 5: an organic meme that people only liked it because it
Speaker 5: was so stupid. It happens on the Internet all the
Speaker 5: time where something is so stupid that people then sarcastically
Speaker 5: and ironically pretend that they love it. So people did
Speaker 5: go see both movies. And what I'm not looking forward
Speaker 5: to is the next movie that those execs have. They
Speaker 5: they're gonna think that they have a huge hit on
Speaker 5: their hand based on their genius way Annington.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like you're gonna go see Paddington Too and
Speaker 3: Grand Treason, and people are gonna be like, no, sorry,
Speaker 3: nice try, and.
Speaker 1: It's like, you're not a genius, nobody.
Speaker 5: You didn't do anything to make all that money on
Speaker 5: Oppenheimer and Barbie. It was because people found something randomly
Speaker 5: so stupid that they went and did it, and you're
Speaker 5: not gonna be able to recreate that. And I can
Speaker 5: just picture the exec being like, yeah, I did, I
Speaker 5: did Oppenheimer. I think I know what I'm doing around here,
Speaker 5: and then they're gonna fucking have a flop their next movie.
Speaker 5: Whoever the execs or producers of the people who made Oppenheimer,
Speaker 5: their next movie will be a flop.
Speaker 1: You heard it here. It's going to bomb. It's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be like an eight.
Speaker 5: It's probably gonna be like a one billion dollar budget,
Speaker 5: and it's gonna and it's gonna make like three hundred
Speaker 5: million or something.
Speaker 3: I guarantee you guys know what Barbie is about, because
Speaker 3: one of the reason I wanted to see Barbie more
Speaker 3: than anything was like, what the fuck? How are they
Speaker 3: going to make this a feminist statement? Like what are
Speaker 3: they doing with it? What could the plot possibly be?
Speaker 3: Chris and I were also talking about this, like how
Speaker 3: could Barbie, how could this be a funny script, like
Speaker 3: how could they make a like Barbie is a big
Speaker 3: deal but it's not. I'm sorry, I think it's taking
Speaker 3: on this cultural important that it really didn't have. Like
Speaker 3: they're making a story about how Barbie is in all
Speaker 3: of our lives and has been with us all along.
Speaker 3: When I got to say, we all stop playing with Barbie,
Speaker 3: and they Steven stayed in the movie around five years old.
Speaker 3: And it's not like it's if you or maybe have
Speaker 3: some kind of Down syndrome or something, Barbie has stayed
Speaker 3: in your life until your adulthood. But and that is
Speaker 3: no shade on people with Down syndrome, but they tend
Speaker 3: to like childlike things well into their adulthood. You Barbie
Speaker 3: is an afterthought. And it wasn't that I didn't like
Speaker 3: I didn't feel empowered by Barbie. It didn't make me
Speaker 3: feel like I could go and get a job and
Speaker 3: be an astronaut. Maybe it did, like maybe the Barbie
Speaker 3: the Vet made me go, oh, I could be a vet.
Speaker 3: And it's it's it's as easy as like, you know,
Speaker 3: there's just a picture of a dog skeleton on the wall,
Speaker 3: and that's all I have to do all day is
Speaker 3: just to have a stethoscope with a pawprint on it,
Speaker 3: and there's a dog skeleton on my wall, and I
Speaker 3: get the pet little dogs all day, and I get
Speaker 3: to wear a cute little outfits. But Barbie did not
Speaker 3: impact me this much. I think that was part of
Speaker 3: their marketing scheme, was to sell us on the idea
Speaker 3: that Barbie was a huge part of our lives when
Speaker 3: it wasn't.
Speaker 4: Do you know what the plot was? Can you guys
Speaker 4: guess what it's about?
Speaker 5: Well from the what I've heard some things about it,
Speaker 5: but I'm going to guess that Barbie is in Barbieland
Speaker 5: and then she gets zapped into the human world.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the guess, and she shows them that women
Speaker 2: can do anything right. So the Pretty Women's promise is
Speaker 2: is that Barbieland and real life are separate, which, okay,
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 3: That makes it so it can be a thing. And
Speaker 3: Mattel is aware of Barbieland and likes to keep Barbie
Speaker 3: Land as Barbie Land and Barbieland has the disillusionment that
Speaker 3: they've solved everything for women. In Barbieland, all the women
Speaker 3: are like in charge of everything. Every woman is a
Speaker 3: Supreme Court justice, every woman wins a new Nobel Prize.
Speaker 4: Every woman in men are just.
Speaker 3: Like less less than women are in the real world,
Speaker 3: Like they're just they're an afterthought. No one even knows
Speaker 3: where they live. They're just there. And like every night
Speaker 3: is girls night. Ken always goes home alone. No one
Speaker 3: even knows where he goes. He's just there. It's it's
Speaker 3: Barbie and Ken.
Speaker 2: This world is created by a large corporation called Mattel.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh okay, yes, but they it's it's like it's
Speaker 3: it's self. It's exit. Mattel's not controlling it. It's not
Speaker 3: like Truman Show. It's just it's the world. And they
Speaker 3: walk around on their tiptoes and then things start to
Speaker 3: go haywire, where Barbie starts to like have thoughts of
Speaker 3: death and like have flat feet. And this is in
Speaker 3: the beginning of the movie, and they realize that there's
Speaker 3: some kind of you.
Speaker 4: It's just you can make up anything.
Speaker 3: They're like, there is a portal that's open and somehow
Speaker 3: the real world thoughts of like what the real world
Speaker 3: is like for women is entering into Barbieland and it's
Speaker 3: and all the Barbiees are freaking out that she has
Speaker 3: flat feet and they're.
Speaker 4: Like, oh my god, you have to go see Weird Barbie.
Speaker 3: And Weird Barbie is this Barbie that represents like the girl,
Speaker 3: the Barbie that has like cut hair and like marker
Speaker 3: on her face and like girls like is always in
Speaker 3: the Splits, And that's played by Kate McKinnon, who's genius. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I thought it was very interesting how they did it,
Speaker 3: and I'm always curious, like when you have the concept of, like,
Speaker 3: what's a Barbie movie. I don't know how they're gonna
Speaker 3: do Polly Pocket the movie, but I guess it's being made,
Speaker 3: like they're gonna try to recreate this for every time.
Speaker 5: It's an epidemic in Hollywood. I mean every fucking show
Speaker 5: and movie free. It doesn't matter, as Hollywood execs are
Speaker 5: afraid to make new things these days. All they do
Speaker 5: is make things with pre existing ip unless it's like
Speaker 5: then even Oppenheimer is a historical thing. But if you
Speaker 5: can attach a a someone who already had a successful thing,
Speaker 5: then they can make what they want. But if it's
Speaker 5: a if it's a new person, it can either be
Speaker 5: superheroes or it can be pre existing ep There must
Speaker 5: be something attached they're running out.
Speaker 3: People are talking about how Barbie isn't like is a
Speaker 3: new concept. No, it's pre existing IP. Yes, so it's
Speaker 3: it really wasn't anything original.
Speaker 6: Grants pre existing IP, yes, every every I mean, yeah,
Speaker 6: there was there's a new Marvel DC character coming out,
Speaker 6: Beetlebug or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a there's the Blue Beetle, which is DC's
Speaker 1: So DC is like, there's a radioactive bug who bites
Speaker 1: somebody and then they get superpowers and they're gonna just
Speaker 1: pretend like we didn't already see seven thousand Spider Man movies.
Speaker 3: I mean insane. That movie looks truly atrocious. It's just
Speaker 3: like Granny has a gun. Like the pivotal moment in
Speaker 3: the movie is in the trailer where it's all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, a granny like someone's Abulita like has a
Speaker 3: huge machine gun and they're like Granny, no, and she's like,
Speaker 3: I got it, kids, and it's like, that's the why
Speaker 3: did you show us that?
Speaker 4: Like that is the.
Speaker 3: Funniest thing that in the movie, because it's all they have.
Speaker 3: Trailers suck now, they just give away everything. I didn't
Speaker 3: even watch the Barbie trailers. If they would have left
Speaker 3: the foot moment for the Barbie trailer, like that would
Speaker 3: have been a crucial moment in the there's funny stuff
Speaker 3: that happens, but they they gave away all the funny
Speaker 3: moments in Barbie, and I just gave away another one
Speaker 3: that actually would have been saved.
Speaker 4: But then, but yeah, the Barbie movie did make me.
Speaker 3: Later on, I was on I did like nine sets
Speaker 3: this weekend, not like nine, I did nine sets this weekend,
Speaker 3: and I was getting into some like feminist stuff that
Speaker 3: was maybe sometimes a little bit over the top, and I, oh,
Speaker 3: at one point, I go listen, I know it's.
Speaker 4: Hard for men too. I saw Barbie, and the crowd fucking.
Speaker 3: Exploded because it was exactly what that movie was about.
Speaker 3: Was like, men don't want to see it because it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's anti men. I guess, like some right wing people
Speaker 3: are like up in arms, but don't go see Barbie
Speaker 3: because it's a feminist movie. Like that would be such
Speaker 3: a horrible thing, I guess, But it's it's Yeah, you
Speaker 3: were talking head on. I was almost gonna say Tucker Carlson,
Speaker 3: but that's not on anymore. Yeah, I don't know any
Speaker 3: Fox and Friends, Gottfield. Yeah, so yeah, it it what
Speaker 3: it did. If anything, it made me feel like bad
Speaker 3: for men and make me go like, oh, men need
Speaker 3: to be supported more and need more emotional support. They're
Speaker 3: kind of lost, which I guess is also not a
Speaker 3: good Like you know, Fox and Friends, people would think
Speaker 3: that's like that's men aren't lost, they don't need to cry.
Speaker 5: But it was about for men these days, you know,
Speaker 5: we had a grapple with the with the fact that
Speaker 5: people are questioning our power.
Speaker 4: Well, yes, it's that.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I love playing that card of like,
Speaker 3: oh poor men, you've had it good for so long.
Speaker 4: Now it's our.
Speaker 3: Turn when when oh you can't cry, you're you're sad
Speaker 3: and isolated. But the truth is they are men are.
Speaker 3: Men don't have as many like men don't have girls chats,
Speaker 3: Men don't have emotional support. They don't need it as
Speaker 3: much because women are just fucking banana when it comes
Speaker 3: to emotions. But it is, there is a problem there,
Speaker 3: and men don't need to be mocked for being like
Speaker 3: having a stiff upper lip and like being a little
Speaker 3: bit and being angry because they do they have like
Speaker 3: a lot of rage hormones that we don't have. That
Speaker 3: thank God, we don't have it that they don't know
Speaker 3: what to do with.
Speaker 2: There is a great book that is on my reading list.
Speaker 2: They actually started reading it a while ago and then
Speaker 2: I stopped, and it talks about how men handle depression
Speaker 2: and their communication is so different than the way women
Speaker 2: do it. It's actually a book that's written for men,
Speaker 2: not really, you know, but it still gives like a
Speaker 2: good view of it for other people who might want
Speaker 2: to read it. It's Terrence Reel who I'm reading his
Speaker 2: other book. It's called I Don't Want to Talk About It.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I what a great what a great title.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that that's how men, the most of
Speaker 3: the men that I know, handle any.
Speaker 2: They they handle depression by actually like doing stuff. So
Speaker 2: it's like they will go and they'll start hitting nails
Speaker 2: into like a wooden plank and fix up the porch
Speaker 2: or something. That's how they handle depression. And we turned
Speaker 2: to our girlfriends to actually talk and have like emotional
Speaker 2: process it.
Speaker 3: Aud ability, Yeah, well, dude, does building a porch help
Speaker 3: them process it?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it is that helpful? Or is it like they're
Speaker 3: just building a porch around their problems? No, it's that
Speaker 3: that is how they cope, and so it does.
Speaker 4: Work for them.
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean I keep saying they and am like
Speaker 5: what Like, I mean, I'm a man. I'm not building
Speaker 5: the porch when I get upset.
Speaker 3: Well, you might do, Brian, You're different. You're different. You
Speaker 3: have like a more feminine energy in that way. Like
Speaker 3: Brian has friends that he talks to about his feelings.
Speaker 3: How did for men listening who don't have that, Like
Speaker 3: is that something you've always had? Is it something you
Speaker 3: realized you were lacking? Like you do seem to process
Speaker 3: your feelings in a way that I relate to at
Speaker 3: least were not including you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get out.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I think there's just men
Speaker 5: who are like me. And there are men who, you know,
Speaker 5: bury everything and hammer nails into wood in order to
Speaker 5: get rid of their feelings. But I mean, I did
Speaker 5: go to therapy for a little long time, but I
Speaker 5: think I'm done. I don't think I have to do.
Speaker 3: I think you were a pussy for going, Like was
Speaker 3: it hard to get you to go the first time?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: How did you get in there?
Speaker 1: No? Not at all.
Speaker 5: I thought I thought it was great. I never thought
Speaker 5: I was a pussy and I do know. I think
Speaker 5: it's there is cultural. You know, people who when they
Speaker 5: grow up and around, maybe your older brother calls you
Speaker 5: a pussy for going to therapy or something like that,
Speaker 5: and they get beaten out of you that.
Speaker 1: Way, or if you're on the football team.
Speaker 5: And that's why there's a lot of football teams like
Speaker 5: the Indianapolis Colts, who they're like they're charity. You know,
Speaker 5: every football team's got like a here's our you know
Speaker 5: how like PEPSI is like we're going to do houses
Speaker 5: for dogs or whatever. Indianapolis Colts charity is kick the
Speaker 5: stigma of talking about your mental health. So it is
Speaker 5: like a thing in sports too. But I never had
Speaker 5: a problem with it, and I always I think I'm
Speaker 5: open with complaining about all sorts of things. So I
Speaker 5: think that's where it comes from. Is all this, I mean,
Speaker 5: how does go on and on? I talk a lot.
Speaker 5: I just talked to you just now.
Speaker 3: No, uh no, like what I mean, we welcome to
Speaker 3: the show. I mean that's uh yeah, you do talk
Speaker 3: a lot. You talk things out, and you have a
Speaker 3: more analytical approach to talking. You're not as feelings based
Speaker 3: as facts based. I've noticed when you talk yeah, which
Speaker 3: I think is probably more masculine, but you do have
Speaker 3: a lot of logic and like your mattress saga has
Speaker 3: been a fascinating one to to live through. Brian bought
Speaker 3: a temper pedic mattress and I'm not joking you. Let
Speaker 3: me just tell Noah, how many hours do you think
Speaker 3: Brian spent at the mattress store the day that he
Speaker 3: purchased his mattress. Before making that purchase, how many hours
Speaker 3: do you think he spent just that one mattress store.
Speaker 4: Was it one mattress store?
Speaker 3: Brian?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that one mattress store temper Pedic.
Speaker 4: Okay, our uh yeah? How many hours?
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine spending more than like an hour,
Speaker 2: and with the buying process, maybe like an hour.
Speaker 3: That this question is probably a significant amount of time.
Speaker 3: And it's Brian, like, what would you guess if you
Speaker 3: were a betting woman that it's it's you know what,
Speaker 3: I know, what you and I would do is probably
Speaker 3: like more than an hour and a half is like excruciating.
Speaker 4: But what do you think, Brian?
Speaker 2: So if you didn't frame the question in a way
Speaker 2: where I would be able to tell that he spent
Speaker 2: probably like five hours at the store. I think I
Speaker 2: would say that Brian went to the store multiple times
Speaker 2: to just be sure.
Speaker 4: It's one time, one time.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm thinking about how long I spent and
Speaker 2: I just knew it like immediately, so I would say,
Speaker 2: like an hour and a half.
Speaker 3: Okay, Brian, how many hours did you spend the store before?
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, this was the second time I
Speaker 1: went to the store.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, I didn't know it.
Speaker 5: Relative than this, But the day I bought the bed,
Speaker 5: I spent six hours at the mattress store sick. And
Speaker 5: I kept saying, am I the most annoying mattress purchaser
Speaker 5: you guys have ever had? And they're like, no, no,
Speaker 5: And then they did that thing where they're they go
Speaker 5: up into a falsetto and they.
Speaker 3: They also turn over to different shifts of people.
Speaker 1: Well that's what happened.
Speaker 5: It got to be so long that I said to
Speaker 5: a guy one of the there's two guys, and one
Speaker 5: of the guys like, well, I'm gonna take my lunch break,
Speaker 5: and so he left, and then I turned to the
Speaker 5: other guy and I was like, do you need a
Speaker 5: lunch break? I mean, we've been here for like three
Speaker 5: and three and a half hours, and he's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I don't need a lunch break. Actually, you know, I
Speaker 5: actually get a little bonus for pushing my lunch break.
Speaker 5: So it's actually good that you're here for so long
Speaker 5: because I can get a little bit of money. Because
Speaker 5: you're here for so long on my lunch break, what
Speaker 5: are you doing?
Speaker 3: No sense to me how you could spend this long
Speaker 3: of a time and you have someone assisting you the
Speaker 3: entire six hours.
Speaker 4: You no point where you like go.
Speaker 1: Take an at.
Speaker 5: I said to the I was like, don't you need
Speaker 5: a lunch break? And he said no. I get a
Speaker 5: little bump, and then another.
Speaker 4: It was just hanging out with you for six hours?
Speaker 4: Have you seen him since?
Speaker 1: I lay down? And then I say, can you please?
Speaker 1: Can you? Yeah? So I go there every few days
Speaker 1: and lay down and we maybe you.
Speaker 5: Lay down on each mattress for fifteen You have to
Speaker 5: lay down for fifteen minutes to get a feel for it.
Speaker 5: So I told the guy, I said, you don't have
Speaker 5: to lay here next to me or to stand around
Speaker 5: and watch me lay Just go do whatever you want
Speaker 5: and I'll let you know when I need you, and
Speaker 5: he said fine, And then an hour and a half
Speaker 5: passed and he comes up to me and he goes, listen,
Speaker 5: I really gotta get lunch. I'm really hungry. And I
Speaker 5: was like, so go get luck. Like he was the
Speaker 5: guy who was like, don't worry about it, I don't
Speaker 5: need lunch, and he's like, yeah, listen, enough time. I
Speaker 5: didn't think you're gonna be here for five hours. I
Speaker 5: need to get lunch. So I was like, I'll tell
Speaker 5: you what. I'll go get lunch also, and then you
Speaker 5: get lunch and then we'll reconvene after a lunch break.
Speaker 1: So he did that. I left for twenty minutes.
Speaker 5: I got a smoothie, and then I came back and
Speaker 5: we both took a lunch break and then finished the
Speaker 5: six hours. And then I looked. I tried all of
Speaker 5: these mattresses I laid in.
Speaker 4: There was sleep at any of them.
Speaker 3: It was like fifteen minutes you would just lay there
Speaker 3: and like toss and turn or like what would you
Speaker 3: do for fifteen minutes? Would you be on your phone
Speaker 3: or would you just stare at the wall, like what?
Speaker 5: Sometimes I'd be on my phone and sometimes there'd be
Speaker 5: another customer. There was this other guy who was also
Speaker 5: looking for a mattress, and then and we laid in
Speaker 5: bed together and we talked about the bed for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: That guy wound up buying a different bed than me.
Speaker 5: There is another guy who came in who had the
Speaker 5: same story as me, where he's like and he was
Speaker 5: definitely rich. I mean, he did not give a fuck
Speaker 5: about buying the mattress. He was like, I will drop
Speaker 5: fifty He kept saying. This guy came in and he
Speaker 5: kept saying to the guy, He's like, I have a mattress.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 5: I spent a ridiculous amount of money on this mattress
Speaker 5: and I can't It was the worst money ever spent.
Speaker 5: It was this outrageous amount of money and I was
Speaker 5: not comfortable in it. My wife hates stince. We just
Speaker 5: want to get a new mattress. And I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: I did the same thing. I bought a really expensive mattress.
Speaker 5: I had it for three years and I hate it.
Speaker 5: And then I was like, yeah, it was like I
Speaker 5: spent like five thousand dollars on a mattress. I threw
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars at him and I could just see
Speaker 5: it in his eyes. He's like, I'm not telling you
Speaker 5: how much I spent on my mattress because it was
Speaker 5: probably something like twenty to thirty thousand dollars, which you
Speaker 5: can buy a custom made, like fancy mattress for that.
Speaker 3: Because he looked, I think him say, I'll buy your
Speaker 3: mattress from you and try it out, because that guy's
Speaker 3: just going to put it out on the street.
Speaker 4: Rich people don't care about reselling things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I wanted a temperped it and so did he.
Speaker 1: Oh right.
Speaker 5: He just looked like a Beverly Hills rich guy, and
Speaker 5: I was like, uh, five thousand dollars mattress is the
Speaker 5: equivalent of getting a wayfair clear and sale mattress to him.
Speaker 5: But then you wind up buying the most expensive mattress
Speaker 5: in the store, So did you?
Speaker 1: So did?
Speaker 5: I a different firmness level, but I got the same one,
Speaker 5: and I fucking hate it. I spent six hours in
Speaker 5: that store laying in all the mattress.
Speaker 4: This didn't work for you? Six hours?
Speaker 1: No, it would have been.
Speaker 4: Because I asked Brian.
Speaker 3: The reason I know about six hours is he's talking
Speaker 3: about this mattress that you know he has and he
Speaker 3: hates and I and I hate to be like my
Speaker 3: mom because my mom would go to go then why did.
Speaker 4: You buy it?
Speaker 1: Nick?
Speaker 3: And it's like, well, I didn't know I was gonna
Speaker 3: hate it. The answer to that is like, because I
Speaker 3: didn't know. But I eventually asked, Brian, why did you
Speaker 3: buy this mattress if you knew what you wanted and
Speaker 3: it goes against what you want because Brian wanted to
Speaker 3: temperpede it because he wanted that like sinking feeling where
Speaker 3: it like encapsulates you. Yeah, but then he ended up
Speaker 3: buying like a hybrid that's like a half spring half that.
Speaker 3: So it's like it was called the Luxe.
Speaker 5: The lux Breeze Medium Hybrid, and it's not Breeze Medium Hybrid.
Speaker 5: It's not that I it's not that hybrid's bad. It's
Speaker 5: that these breezes are so fucking stiff. I really do
Speaker 5: think they're going to discontinue them, because there's just no
Speaker 5: way they intend the bed to feel like this.
Speaker 1: There's just no way.
Speaker 4: But I go, I say, Brian, why did you get
Speaker 4: this mattress?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 4: Like, how are you?
Speaker 3: There's six and he goes because I was tired and
Speaker 3: I was disoriented. I was hungry, and I didn't know
Speaker 3: where he was anymore, Like he had been in this
Speaker 3: fucking story for so long. But in the end it
Speaker 3: backfired because he was like he hadn't seen sunlight in
Speaker 3: over six hours.
Speaker 4: He was like starting to lose his mind.
Speaker 2: I never give myself that much time to make a
Speaker 2: decision about nothing. The other day, I went and I
Speaker 2: got my nail hand on, and I wanted a pink
Speaker 2: for Barbie, even though I didn't see the movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your pink is so good. Noah, I've been looking
Speaker 3: at with the green sweatshirt that you're wearing. It's perfect.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I picked a pink.
Speaker 2: She put it on and it was sheer, and I
Speaker 2: was like, uh, I don't want sheer. I wanted to cover.
Speaker 2: So she went and she brought me like three other colors.
Speaker 2: She put the first one on and then she was
Speaker 2: going to do the other one, and I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, don't even give me the choices. I
Speaker 2: like this, like the one you put on my pinky.
Speaker 2: Let's keep it that way.
Speaker 3: Same same I Canno went and got my nails button
Speaker 3: yesterday and the guy's like, is this good? He like,
Speaker 3: you know, did a rounded one and I was like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, fire, it's fine.
Speaker 3: When they asked me rounded or or flat or coffin shaped,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm thinking about coffins right now because I
Speaker 3: feel so bad that I don't care.
Speaker 4: I just don't care.
Speaker 3: I've never I don't even know what woman would ever
Speaker 3: be like, I need it to be this shape of roundness,
Speaker 3: and they're all fucked up. The problem with going to
Speaker 3: Nailsalon's is they glop it on too much and then
Speaker 3: it will never dry. My toes were still not dry,
Speaker 3: and I was pressing into them just to show how
Speaker 3: they weren't dry six hours later. I could have bought
Speaker 3: a mattress in that time, and I was pressing into
Speaker 3: that and they still weren't dry.
Speaker 4: That is absurd. I want to go back there today.
Speaker 3: I have an hour and a half and it's thirty
Speaker 3: minutes away, but I want to drive back there just
Speaker 3: to say, look at this, this damage happened six hours
Speaker 3: after you guys painted it, and then not do anything
Speaker 3: because they'll just do it again, Like I just want
Speaker 3: them to see. And I forgot my sunglasses there. Do
Speaker 3: you ever forget something and you just go how much
Speaker 3: were those sunglasses? They were eighty five dollars. Okay, I
Speaker 3: wore them for two two months. That was pretty That
Speaker 3: was probably like twenty dollars worth of wearing for like
Speaker 3: when I really expected to lose these things. This place
Speaker 3: is thirty minutes away, hmm. I don't even know if
Speaker 3: they have it, and I don't want to call ahead
Speaker 3: because they don't really speak English and they don't seem
Speaker 3: to like want to answer their phones based on when
Speaker 3: I was there. So maybe I'd just say goodbye to
Speaker 3: those glasses forever.
Speaker 5: What you just described is my thought process for every
Speaker 5: single decision I make about anything.
Speaker 3: Really, that's all seemed like you don't seem to value
Speaker 3: your time. If I was to be guessing about how
Speaker 3: you manage your li.
Speaker 5: I am valuing my time because I knew that if
Speaker 5: I picked the wrong mattress, I would suffer, and that
Speaker 5: would cost me way more time.
Speaker 3: It'd suffer. I know it is wasted so much of
Speaker 3: your time. Yesterday he went on another mattress.
Speaker 4: What I went.
Speaker 1: I went to Macy's and I went to another Well.
Speaker 4: I want you just to get rid of this mattress.
Speaker 5: He hates it, this mattress So the thing about temper
Speaker 5: Pedix is that there's a breaking period and like they
Speaker 5: say that you have to lay in it for thirty
Speaker 5: days and then it'll it'll feel more like.
Speaker 4: This, it's more than thirty days.
Speaker 3: Well whatever, that's the ninety days is the time he
Speaker 3: has to return it. But if he returns it, he's
Speaker 3: got to pay a restocking fee. But he also has
Speaker 3: the chance to return it, and then they just give
Speaker 3: you another mattress and it's a fine and there's no
Speaker 3: restocking fee. So that discourages people from, you know, returning
Speaker 3: it and then buying a new one. But if he
Speaker 3: gets a new mattress without the restocking fee, if they
Speaker 3: just exchange it and it's a clear exchange, he's stuck
Speaker 3: with it. There's no ninety day, So he is him
Speaker 3: a dilemma of what does he do, because I would say,
Speaker 3: just go with the one. You know, now you've been
Speaker 3: back to the store, you've tested your mattress that you
Speaker 3: thought you wanted. It sucks that even there now you
Speaker 3: realize when you got it you were not in the
Speaker 3: right state of mind. Get a mattress now that feels
Speaker 3: like the one that you originally wanted. The temper pedic
Speaker 3: that fits to your body, not this hybrid bullshit. Not
Speaker 3: the breeze bullshit. The breeze and but he But then
Speaker 3: I think about that and I go, Nope, I think
Speaker 3: I think it's too much of a risk. Brian is
Speaker 3: too sensitive of a boy. He's not gonna like this mattress.
Speaker 3: It's just too much of a I just I'm stressed
Speaker 3: out for you, man.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you're going to do this.
Speaker 5: I went to the mattress store yesterday and I laid
Speaker 5: in the I laid in the Breeze Hybrid, the one
Speaker 5: that I bought, because I was like, did I just
Speaker 5: totally fuck this up? Because I must have laid it
Speaker 5: in the store and thought it was comfortable, That's why
Speaker 5: I bought it. This just must not be broken in yet.
Speaker 5: So I went to the store because I was like,
Speaker 5: I want to lay in the mattress that I bought
Speaker 5: and see how it's supposed to feel smart.
Speaker 1: So I did that. I laid in it, and I
Speaker 1: was like, this is the worst mattress I've ever laid it.
Speaker 1: Oh what a day.
Speaker 5: It's like, my mattress isn't broken in the one of
Speaker 5: the store is broken in and it's like two percent softer.
Speaker 3: I just don't understand. I gotta feel this mattress. I
Speaker 3: want to come over and lay it before all. Mean,
Speaker 3: imagine mattress being so fucking bad that you have horrible
Speaker 3: night's sleep. Your back is like cracking in half from
Speaker 3: the sleep. Like I've just never heard of a mattress
Speaker 3: being that bad, unless it had like spikes on it,
Speaker 3: like I don't, or unless it was like a there
Speaker 3: are spikes sofa mattress that you has a bar going
Speaker 3: through it.
Speaker 5: There are spikes on the end and then cut you
Speaker 5: and then there's like a river of acid that flows
Speaker 5: through the middle.
Speaker 3: That's what keeps saying out like it every time I
Speaker 3: see you. You're just like the worst night to sleep
Speaker 3: of my life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it really sucks with me. Fucking My wife
Speaker 5: played in it. And you know she has her own
Speaker 5: bed much softer my wife, so she doesn't have to
Speaker 5: do anything with this.
Speaker 1: My wife waits on you.
Speaker 4: To sleep in the same bed, her bed.
Speaker 1: She laid in the bed and she said size bed.
Speaker 5: She's got a king sized bed all to herself, and
Speaker 5: she sprawls out like a starfish right.
Speaker 1: In the middle.
Speaker 3: Now for now can you sleep in her bed so
Speaker 3: you don't have to like torture yourself anymore.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm getting rid of this one.
Speaker 5: Well, I am torturing myself because just in case it
Speaker 5: breaks in and I'm like, you know what, I actually
Speaker 5: love this bed like like Noah was to taste someone.
Speaker 3: To lay in it while you're at work or something
Speaker 3: like to break it in faster? What's and are I
Speaker 3: guess gets broken in at the store because people are
Speaker 3: laying in.
Speaker 5: That is what I don't understand is how temper Pedic
Speaker 5: could sell people a mattress that feels like shit for
Speaker 5: ninety days and that's not just me for many people.
Speaker 4: Why How could you're reading consumer reviews.
Speaker 1: And read it?
Speaker 2: How could I make that company repedic mattress? And I
Speaker 2: love it? So two opposing views here it's the best
Speaker 2: and your dress ever? Do we know what model you have?
Speaker 2: You know, I was just trying to search through my
Speaker 2: email for it to see, but it might be it
Speaker 2: is it has like that cooling technology in it, so
Speaker 2: I think it maybe you'll.
Speaker 5: Have cooling technology, but this is the latest cooling technology.
Speaker 3: And anyone's saying doesn't want to be cool when they sleep,
Speaker 3: and why is this a new technology? This is like
Speaker 3: wheels on luggage, hasn't Everyone always wanted to be cool
Speaker 3: with the memory foam.
Speaker 5: Mattresses sleep really hot. They sleep really how. You sink
Speaker 5: into them and it heats up. And that was the
Speaker 5: initial complaint about memory foam is that they sleep too hot.
Speaker 1: I sweat all night.
Speaker 5: So they started injecting this cooling technology into their mattress
Speaker 5: and now I think.
Speaker 1: They've gone too far.
Speaker 5: But my wife laid in this mattress and she said,
Speaker 5: I would rather sleep on the floor than sleep on
Speaker 5: this mattress.
Speaker 1: That's how stiff and hard it is. Anyway, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're going to do.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I'm gonna return and then get a
Speaker 5: temper pedic Hybrid medium non breeze pro adapt. Okay, but
Speaker 5: you know when you were talking about you lose stuff
Speaker 5: like you like your sunglasses, or you leave it somewhere.
Speaker 1: I lost my wallet this weekend.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I lost my wallet and Allie said, so this is
Speaker 5: like this is where like my I don't know if
Speaker 5: I don't have feelings or something, but I lost the
Speaker 5: wallet and I realized it was lost and I've just
Speaker 5: always been this way. I just instantaneously moved on from
Speaker 5: the fact that I lost it, and within thirty minutes
Speaker 5: I had replaced everything in the wallet. And Ali said
Speaker 5: that I have never seen someone move from like realization
Speaker 5: to losing something like that to like having it all
Speaker 5: taken care of so quickly.
Speaker 4: I'm very similar.
Speaker 3: I realized that when I left, I left my purse
Speaker 3: in a cab one time, and I remember someone was.
Speaker 4: Over my house.
Speaker 3: When I realized it might have been Andrew, I was
Speaker 3: at my apartment in New York. I realized I just
Speaker 3: got out of a cab and gotten up to my apartment,
Speaker 3: four floor walk up and I get up there. We're
Speaker 3: up there for like a half hour, and I go,
Speaker 3: oh my god, and I know exactly what happened. There's
Speaker 3: no even question where it could be. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: just was like, all right, well that it's just immediate
Speaker 3: acceptance because any of this, like, oh God, no, I
Speaker 3: think it's a rebellion of my parents, because again my
Speaker 3: parents would be like.
Speaker 4: Why did you leave it there? Yeah, because I wanted to.
Speaker 3: I really like losing things and replacing all my credit cards.
Speaker 3: Like my mom's questions constantly is like why wouldn't you
Speaker 3: look before you got out? Just like just this constant
Speaker 3: shame of like how dumb are you to have done
Speaker 3: this thing?
Speaker 4: Like it's your fault.
Speaker 3: And so now I think I just in rebellion to that,
Speaker 3: which is a great thing. I just go immediately to acceptance.
Speaker 3: It's gone, let's figure this out. Like what I realized
Speaker 3: yesterday I lost my glasses. It was just like, okay,
Speaker 3: do I care? I got some good times with them,
Speaker 3: that was fun, Like they they're cute. I think they're
Speaker 3: still in stock. I could still get them, and you
Speaker 3: know we had that was I expected to lose them eventually,
Speaker 3: and it just happened sooner than later. There was a
Speaker 3: moment of like, man, they were in my lap. I
Speaker 3: knew I should have put them in my bag. Yeah, bad, bad, Nikki.
Speaker 3: And it was probably for a point four seconds that
Speaker 3: I felt that way. I pictured them in my lap,
Speaker 3: and I picture putting them in my purse, and I go,
Speaker 3: why didn't you do that? And maybe I'll do it
Speaker 3: next time. But there's no point in beating yourself up,
Speaker 3: because that doesn't bring them back. I used to get
Speaker 3: I used to get like scolded and like, well, you're
Speaker 3: not getting another one. You're not getting another one. And
Speaker 3: I always lose my accessories, like there's all I hope
Speaker 3: I don't ever lose my engagement ring. This one I
Speaker 3: really look at, but I know that everything else that's
Speaker 3: jewelry is gonna be lost one day unless I keep
Speaker 3: it in a safe and never touch it. And I
Speaker 3: always let myself off the hook for it because when
Speaker 3: I was younger, I was told, well, you're never gonna
Speaker 3: get another one again.
Speaker 4: We're not buying you one.
Speaker 2: And now I'm just like, well, I work and I
Speaker 2: can buy myself another one if I lose it, no
Speaker 2: big deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: I was always just told this is why you can't
Speaker 3: have anything nice.
Speaker 4: You lose everything.
Speaker 3: You treat everything poorly, you don't care about nice things.
Speaker 4: You just don't deserve nice things.
Speaker 3: And I've been like thinking about it recently and I've
Speaker 3: been talking about it on stage, But I never got
Speaker 3: an American girl doll and my sister dead, and I
Speaker 3: really think it was because and she to this day
Speaker 3: is like a much more organized person, has three kids
Speaker 3: of her own, keeps track of everything, just is like
Speaker 3: such a good efficient mom. And my parents just kind
Speaker 3: of knew this was not I was not to be
Speaker 3: in charge of an American girl doll. They had too
Speaker 3: much going on. My sister always got like Littlest Pet Shop.
Speaker 3: Those had so many little accessories. I was not going
Speaker 3: to keep track of all that bullshit, and like Molly's
Speaker 3: chalkboard and ADDIE's basket. I it was just everything was
Speaker 3: gonna get lost. And I'm still to this day and
Speaker 3: it is nice. I think that is a reason why
Speaker 3: I have like being well off in that way, because
Speaker 3: now I kind of just I don't know when when
Speaker 3: I do lose something, or I'm like, oh, we can
Speaker 3: just get another, like I do like the casualness with
Speaker 3: which with I get to respond to these things, because
Speaker 3: my mom still does have that in her where it's like, Nick,
Speaker 3: you really you gotta stain on that? Ah, where'd you
Speaker 3: get this?
Speaker 4: You just gotta go.
Speaker 3: I'll just get another. It was forty five bucks, it's
Speaker 3: not a big deal. She's like, oh, I can get
Speaker 3: that out, and I go, nope, I have muddy like
Speaker 3: I just liked it. It's like this little fuck you
Speaker 3: to the chronic shame. I felt afliding everything. We'll be
Speaker 3: right back after this and talk about more stuff. I
Speaker 3: want to get into a book.
Speaker 4: That Noah is reading.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're back. Wait, one more thing Brian needs to
Speaker 3: say about this wallet.
Speaker 5: So I lost the walle I knew exactly where I
Speaker 5: lost it. It fell out of my fucking fanny pack,
Speaker 5: which I have a habit of not zipping it up
Speaker 5: and just walking around with it flopping around. And I
Speaker 5: remember I was out a farmer's market once and I
Speaker 5: had it unzipped and the farmer's market guy was like,
Speaker 5: you gotta zip your fanny pack. And I was like, nah,
Speaker 5: I'm fine. And that's when the writing was on the
Speaker 5: wall that one day I would lose my wallet. And
Speaker 5: so six months later, my wallet falls out of my
Speaker 5: fanny pack at a gas station.
Speaker 1: I lost at the gas station.
Speaker 5: I was like talking on the phone filling my gas
Speaker 5: with my fanny pack just open, just like you you don't.
Speaker 1: Check on the phone.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, this is a lesson, like you could actually
Speaker 5: something could fall out of it.
Speaker 3: You love talking on the phone so much, And we
Speaker 3: were talking about this and it's like, stop talking on
Speaker 3: the phone.
Speaker 4: Just text people.
Speaker 1: No, it's goods good.
Speaker 4: You love a phone call.
Speaker 5: I'll talk for hours on the phone, I'll talk. The
Speaker 5: only thing I'll do for longer than that is as
Speaker 5: trut mattresses mattress. I was talking on the phone, so
Speaker 5: I was distracted. I was filling up gas. I bought
Speaker 5: a lottery ticket and then I dropped the wallet. The
Speaker 5: lottery ticket was not in the wallet. But the reason
Speaker 5: I the way I learned that my wallet was stolen
Speaker 5: because I texted you. I was like, hey, if is
Speaker 5: your is the wallet in your hotel room? I uh
Speaker 5: called the gas station. I said, did anybody return the wallet?
Speaker 5: And they said no, And then I saw on my
Speaker 5: Chase account that there had been some purchases made. And
Speaker 5: then they and I looked up online what are the
Speaker 5: chances that somebody finds your wallet and returns it? And
Speaker 5: they said that statistically it's a fifty to fifty chance
Speaker 5: that fifty percent of the time when someone finds a wallet,
Speaker 5: they returned it. And then I was so this, So
Speaker 5: I was looking at this guy he made he took
Speaker 5: my wallet and he bought two hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 5: worth of vans. He went to Vans and then he
Speaker 5: spent eighty dollars at his seven eleven And I'm just
Speaker 5: like what, I don't think it's a kid.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a kid.
Speaker 5: I just think it's what what kind of piece of
Speaker 5: shit person sees a wallet on the ground and their
Speaker 5: first thought is to immediately immediately drive to the mall
Speaker 5: he drew mall?
Speaker 4: Kid? A kid?
Speaker 1: You think it was a kid?
Speaker 4: I don't want want honestly vans. Yes, I think it was.
Speaker 1: No, it's not just kids who want vans.
Speaker 4: I wonder what size they were. We could we could
Speaker 4: find out.
Speaker 1: There there were baby shoes, and it's probably first Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a team, like maybe it was a teen.
Speaker 3: I've had that moment where I remember in college there
Speaker 3: was a girl walking in front of me who dropped
Speaker 3: some cash and I just pocketed it. And I'll never
Speaker 3: forget how wrong that felt, and like what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Like I get it. If you find cash and no
Speaker 3: one's around, like I I'm not going to do a
Speaker 3: lot to be like did anyone drop some cash?
Speaker 4: So it's like the worst.
Speaker 5: Thing you can do is say is take the cash
Speaker 5: and try to give it to someone at the hotel
Speaker 5: desk or this crazy can you turn this cash? If
Speaker 5: someone comes by looking for the cash.
Speaker 4: I'd never in a million years do that.
Speaker 3: But I saw this crash fall out of the girl's
Speaker 3: pocket and I pocketed it. And it's one of the
Speaker 3: worst things I've ever done in my life. I really,
Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed to even admit that I did it. And
Speaker 3: it was like three dollars. I'm not it was like
Speaker 3: no money. But I was going through a hard time.
Speaker 3: I mean I was a klepto back then anyway. And
Speaker 3: but yeah, the the the sociopathy that has to be
Speaker 3: going on in your head to steal and think it's
Speaker 3: a sociopathic.
Speaker 5: My idea was at least given the ID to the like,
Speaker 5: but instead he took the whole thing.
Speaker 3: You put an ID in the mail, it'll send it
Speaker 3: to that address. Yeah, so it's like put it in
Speaker 3: a mailbox.
Speaker 1: That's a really good tip.
Speaker 5: But yeah, like like they it's and like my parks
Speaker 5: pass was in there, and it's just like you can't
Speaker 5: that parks past, and so I yeah, I just I
Speaker 5: feel like I just lost.
Speaker 4: What I always think is, yeah, of.
Speaker 5: Course, it's just like I see a fucking wallet on
Speaker 5: the ground. You know where I live, you know where
Speaker 5: I lost.
Speaker 3: That's why I put my phone number. Chris got me
Speaker 3: a label maker. I put my phone number and my name,
Speaker 3: Nikki G on all my AirPods and on my laptop
Speaker 3: because most people are good. Yeah, And this is what
Speaker 3: I've said before about the airport thing, like leave your luggage,
Speaker 3: Like most people are not gonna buy a ticket to
Speaker 3: go on a plane, get inside and then just start
Speaker 3: stealing things and steal a guitar that they then have
Speaker 3: to bring on their flight.
Speaker 4: Like this isn't.
Speaker 3: This isn't pre nine eleven when you can just walk
Speaker 3: into an airport and even then I would have probably
Speaker 3: trusted things. Most people are not gonna steal things, but
Speaker 3: I would say, I say it was more than fifty
Speaker 3: percent chance, depending on where you are, of course, but
Speaker 3: that you're gonna get it back because most people aren't
Speaker 3: insane like this. I mean, I go to a Starbucks
Speaker 3: all the time and I have my laptop out and
Speaker 3: my wallet and stuff, and I will go to the
Speaker 3: bathroom and just leave it. And I don't ask a
Speaker 3: person near me can you watch this? Because I'm like,
Speaker 3: I assume everyone's kind of looking out for each other
Speaker 3: and that's probably naive. And knock on wood, I knock
Speaker 3: on wood, knock on wood. I haven't had anyone steal
Speaker 3: anything from me, but just in case your phone, you're
Speaker 3: sting even a number on things, huh, and your phone.
Speaker 4: Stolen from your hand, remember, Yeah, but that's like from
Speaker 4: my hand.
Speaker 3: This wasn't because I like left it sitting out like
Speaker 3: you can't really prevent that, and now I do. I
Speaker 3: will never on that corner it's right across from my apartment.
Speaker 3: I will never walk stupidly with my phone in my
Speaker 3: hand and buy my apartment on that same block anymore.
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's not the I just never watch it, dude.
Speaker 3: It was like a relay race. Like I was holding
Speaker 3: out a baton. He already he got a running start.
Speaker 3: He came at me running and just grabbed it from
Speaker 3: my hand so fast I didn't even notice. And then
Speaker 3: he was running down the street. A bunch of people saw.
Speaker 3: They were all around me. It was like a crowded
Speaker 3: moment in my neighborhood. And these two girls witnessed me
Speaker 3: have my phone sold.
Speaker 4: And he was a kid.
Speaker 3: I think he was probably like twelve thirteen years old,
Speaker 3: and he was running away, and everyone wants to know,
Speaker 3: like what race? It was a five k No he
Speaker 3: I don't know what race he was. He had a
Speaker 3: hoodie on, but he was running away and and I
Speaker 3: just come.
Speaker 4: On, oh, come on.
Speaker 3: And I just love the idea that he'd be like
Speaker 3: all right, I will come on, like this is crazy.
Speaker 4: What am I doing with my life?
Speaker 3: But I really just wanted the phone case because it
Speaker 3: was this Taylor Swift phone case that I had spent
Speaker 3: a lot of money on on Etsy and I really loved.
Speaker 3: And but yeah, I just I immediately accepted it in
Speaker 3: a way. It reminds me exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: These girls that witnessed it were like.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh my god. And I just picked
Speaker 4: up my Trader joke.
Speaker 3: I just was like, eh, well, I guess he needs
Speaker 3: it more than I do.
Speaker 4: I literally was over it within seconds.
Speaker 3: I said come on, okay, and I just was like,
Speaker 3: guess I'll be on my laptop texting tonight. I have
Speaker 3: to go to the Verizon store tomorrow. Like I just
Speaker 3: already accepted it because what good. And they were like,
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? And I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna call the police, Like then I have to deal
Speaker 3: with them coming a report.
Speaker 4: They're not gonna do anything.
Speaker 2: I would be more torn over, like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna see my photos.
Speaker 4: Was a phone on lock? Were you using it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was. I was using it. I was texting someone
Speaker 4: at the time.
Speaker 3: I wasn't worried about that because I would benefit from
Speaker 3: any photos leaking anything. Please please break into my eye
Speaker 3: cloud and use all the naked photos that I haven't there,
Speaker 3: no begging you. I'll be more famous because of it. Anyway,
Speaker 3: I will be really hurt.
Speaker 5: For me.
Speaker 3: There's so much, but like you could just get that
Speaker 3: from me anyway, you know, like if they're gonna fish
Speaker 3: and find your stuff, like I don't want that to happen,
Speaker 3: Please God no. But when it comes to videos and
Speaker 3: naked photos and stuff, you know, what are.
Speaker 4: You going to do?
Speaker 1: I would be a core upset if I lost my
Speaker 1: phone than my wile while it is like you you
Speaker 1: can cancel the credit cards and then those numbers are
Speaker 1: just useless now and I can get my The one
Speaker 1: thing that's funny that they have now is my WGA card,
Speaker 1: So like they can go swipe in at the picket
Speaker 1: lines if they wanted to, or go get into the
Speaker 1: WJA library. Wait, they could be maybe they'll start submitting packets.
Speaker 3: They need to wear out those new vans in the
Speaker 3: in the line picketing the phone though it's I think
Speaker 3: I would rather because you know what, if I lose
Speaker 3: my ID, I have to go to the DMV.
Speaker 4: There's no way around it.
Speaker 3: You have to go, wait in line, take a ticket number,
Speaker 3: sit in that terrible space, wait for your number to
Speaker 3: be called. Realize you don't have all the right documentation.
Speaker 3: They send you back. It's like a lot of red
Speaker 3: tape with a phone. You just have to like wait
Speaker 3: for the Apple logo to like upload and it takes
Speaker 3: like twenty minutes at the store and then everything comes
Speaker 3: back pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well the idea you have to go.
Speaker 1: In California, you don't have to go.
Speaker 5: I just went on the website and I said, I
Speaker 5: someone stole my ID and they send you a new
Speaker 5: one for thirty dollars. Oh yeah, all right, that's not
Speaker 5: bad nothing. But that's why it wasn't so bad. I
Speaker 5: gave myself like fifteen seconds to be upset to do
Speaker 5: the thing that those girls were doing.
Speaker 1: I went, ah, I was just like, why do I
Speaker 1: have to do this?
Speaker 5: And I went down on my knees and I landed
Speaker 5: on the couch and then I got up and I
Speaker 5: and I did everything, and I was it was all
Speaker 5: you were.
Speaker 4: Going to say, the floor or the mattress would have
Speaker 4: been the same feeling.
Speaker 1: I landed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I landed on the mattress and it was very painful.
Speaker 5: And then I got up and I did it. I
Speaker 5: fixed everything in the ID. The only thing I haven't
Speaker 5: gotten back it was my WGA card, which they need
Speaker 5: to call me back.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess some would say that you must mourn
Speaker 3: these things, and maybe the approach that we have is
Speaker 3: not healthy because it will just push down feelings of
Speaker 3: like loss. Like I think even with death, sometimes I
Speaker 3: can be this way. When I find out someone dies,
Speaker 3: I'm just like, all right, well, there's nothing I can
Speaker 3: do about it. Let's figure out what's next. Like I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna like me crying about it. It's not going
Speaker 3: to bring this person back, isn't going to change anything,
Speaker 3: like practical, Let's think about moving forward. Huey Herman died.
Speaker 3: I just saw that on my phone. I was like sad,
Speaker 3: But then I was like, well, of course, did I
Speaker 3: think he was gonna live forever? Like what everyone has
Speaker 3: to die? It was just kind of like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh god, that sucks. Okay, yeah, but there's nothing I
Speaker 3: can do about it. It's just I think it's maybe
Speaker 3: an unhealthy way to look at things sometimes, to move
Speaker 3: on from them so fast, because I know, you know,
Speaker 3: my friend cursed in this weekend, dropped a plate of
Speaker 3: cookies and was crying about it, and like what she
Speaker 3: scraped her knee too, And she spent all this time
Speaker 3: working on these cookies and they fell and they like
Speaker 3: were all over a garage floor and they were ruined
Speaker 3: and they were wet, so like I because I was like,
Speaker 3: if they're dry, just like wipe them off with a
Speaker 3: paper towels.
Speaker 4: Or like blowing them hard.
Speaker 3: It was fudge, but it was like fudge wet fudge
Speaker 3: on like you know, dirty floor.
Speaker 4: So they were ruined.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And she sent a picture and she was like
Speaker 3: her face was like cry looking, and she mourned them
Speaker 3: like she still like.
Speaker 4: Processes her emotions in a really good way.
Speaker 3: I would have just been like it was always gonna happen, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but what if.
Speaker 1: You don't feel anything you drop them.
Speaker 5: You're a little pissed at yourself, and then you don't
Speaker 5: feel the sadness is that bad?
Speaker 3: But maybe you don't feel the sadness because you're not
Speaker 3: letting it in. That's always what I wonder, Like the
Speaker 3: reason I'm not feeling it is because I'm not.
Speaker 4: In tune with it.
Speaker 1: Is that why I'm in so much fine?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna want to cut myself later because of this,
Speaker 3: like in weeks or like I'm gonna want to do
Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna be depressed later because I'm not feeling
Speaker 3: this feeling.
Speaker 1: Oh it's like delayed, Yeah, repressed.
Speaker 5: So if I dropped a plate of cookies, I need
Speaker 5: to like mourn them for thirty minutes before moving on
Speaker 5: or else I'll get depressed later, feel maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: Is that real?
Speaker 5: Why can't it just be like I'm not a guy
Speaker 5: who who gets emotional like that, Like I don't feel
Speaker 5: the emotion at all. That's what I'm saying about the
Speaker 5: wallet is like I was frustrated for like a few,
Speaker 5: like thirty seconds, but then I didn't feel anything, Like
Speaker 5: I rarely feel anything.
Speaker 3: Well, I but you do because you are generally disgruntled
Speaker 3: about a lot of things.
Speaker 4: You feel things so much.
Speaker 1: That's like the only thing I feel is disgruntled.
Speaker 3: Like, well, the mattress thing is it makes sense to
Speaker 3: feel disgruntled about there's something you can do about it.
Speaker 3: The wallet, it's out of your hands. Literally, you know,
Speaker 3: there's nothing you can do. And I think that is
Speaker 3: just a freeing feeling when something's truly out of my hands.
Speaker 4: I'm just like, well, okay, what's next?
Speaker 1: Like acceptance is the I think.
Speaker 5: I think what Kirsten did is just taking the long
Speaker 5: road to the goal of acceptance. And like, for whatever reason,
Speaker 5: when you lost your phone and I lost my wallet,
Speaker 5: we didn't have to go through sadness Town in order
Speaker 5: to get to Acceptanceville.
Speaker 4: Yeah we went, we went around.
Speaker 1: Yeah we took the freeway, or you take a helicopter
Speaker 1: in the fog.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yeah, never do that. Why would you
Speaker 3: ever go Just let's do it anyway. I mean, I
Speaker 3: understand why that's been happened in the past. I know
Speaker 3: I understand why Kobe was like, let's just go through
Speaker 3: it and get to it, because he's a guy that
Speaker 3: has achieved the impossible.
Speaker 4: There's no obstacle.
Speaker 3: He couldn't just find a way through it, like fits
Speaker 3: with his character to be like this is the best pilot.
Speaker 4: I only have the best.
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of fog. I've been through fog
Speaker 3: and helicopters before. Let's just do it. But if you're
Speaker 3: not Kobe Bryant and you haven't achieved the apossible, don't
Speaker 3: fucking go.
Speaker 4: Don't just trust fog. How could you? Would you ever
Speaker 4: drive through fogg? I would pull over on the side
Speaker 4: of the road.
Speaker 1: Final thought, I've driven through fog.
Speaker 5: I mean when I was There was one time I
Speaker 5: was in a snowstorm. I was driving in South Dakota
Speaker 5: on the way to Badlands National Park, and I really
Speaker 5: felt like, this is the closest I ever come to
Speaker 5: dine eyeing in a car because besides an accident, because
Speaker 5: I was losing control of the car on the icy
Speaker 5: road like every two minutes, and we would be driving
Speaker 5: past other cars that had gone over the edge into
Speaker 5: the snow drift on the side of the highway. And
Speaker 5: then there was a point where there was also construction.
Speaker 5: And it was the craziest type of construction you can have.
Speaker 5: Imagine you're on a highway A sixty five in South Dakota.
Speaker 5: It was eighty mile an hour highway.
Speaker 1: You know how highways have a median.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this construction closed one side of the highway and
Speaker 5: directed traffic over the median onto the other side of
Speaker 5: the highway.
Speaker 4: So now two lane highway.
Speaker 5: You're on a two lane highway, but it's an eighty
Speaker 5: mile it's an eighty mile an hour, four lane highway
Speaker 5: going in both directions, and that right then would freak
Speaker 5: me the fuck out. But also it was icy blizzard conditions,
Speaker 5: and so I was like, this is fucking insane. Every
Speaker 5: every few minutes I look the steeler. The steering wheel
Speaker 5: of the car would not work.
Speaker 4: I don't like the outdoors.
Speaker 5: It would be on an ice drift, and I would
Speaker 5: just be like, do you when you're on an ice
Speaker 5: drift in the car? You just have to let go
Speaker 5: of the wheels sort of and just glide along with it.
Speaker 5: It's called it's like similar to hydro planning.
Speaker 1: You just have to kind of glide and let it
Speaker 1: go because if you fight against it, you'll just skid out.
Speaker 1: And that's what those other people did.
Speaker 3: I'd be so mad at my boyfriend for wanting to
Speaker 3: go to the fucking bad Lands if we ended up
Speaker 3: on a highway that was ice over going eighty miles
Speaker 3: an hour at each other.
Speaker 4: I would file for divorce before we were married.
Speaker 3: It was I would say I would never ever, honestly,
Speaker 3: I would be happy because it would prove everything I'm
Speaker 3: scared of, Like this is why we don't do this stuff,
Speaker 3: like this is why I don't go Why do What
Speaker 3: are the bad lands?
Speaker 4: So why would they?
Speaker 1: It's a national park?
Speaker 4: How are you even doing this?
Speaker 5: It's one of them where me and Ali want to
Speaker 5: go to all sixty three national parks before we die,
Speaker 5: and this is one of the national parks, and well, you.
Speaker 3: Better get to its because it sounds like you're putting
Speaker 3: yourself in situations where you're gonna die all the time
Speaker 3: to do this.
Speaker 1: Well, so we did the and also we were on
Speaker 1: that road for over two hours, the head to head
Speaker 1: eighty mile an hour highway in the blizzard.
Speaker 5: It was insane. And there you're in South Dakota. There
Speaker 5: was like, well, we can't just pull over over. We
Speaker 5: can't just pull over and then just be in the cold.
Speaker 5: We need to find a town and there just isn't
Speaker 5: any There's just nowhere to go. So we just had
Speaker 5: to keep going because we're going to the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 5: We're going to the bad lands. We were staying in
Speaker 5: Airbnb in Wasta, a little town that's got like fifteen
Speaker 5: people in it. We had to make it to Wata,
Speaker 5: so we made it. It did wind up paying off
Speaker 5: because we get to the bad Lands and the roads
Speaker 5: are closed because we got off the road just in time.
Speaker 5: They closed all the roads because of the blizzard, so
Speaker 5: nobody can get to where we are at all in
Speaker 5: any way. So we go to the bad Lands and
Speaker 5: we asked the park ranger how many cars are in
Speaker 5: the park, and he said, you are one of three
Speaker 5: cars in the entire park. And so we went into
Speaker 5: this park. It was like a winter wonderland and we
Speaker 5: were the only ones there and that was amazing. And
Speaker 5: we only did.
Speaker 4: It worth almost dying for, not worth.
Speaker 1: Almost dying for at all, but there was a payoff.
Speaker 4: If you had kids, would you have continued that journey?
Speaker 1: I would have in the car. I would have gone
Speaker 1: twice as fast.
Speaker 2: Oh, Brian, Brian, doesn't the snow though, make it look
Speaker 2: just like any other snow covered park.
Speaker 5: No, this looked amazing. I can't show your pictures. It
Speaker 5: looked pretty amazing. I mean it was, it was amazing
Speaker 5: just being there. It was freezing. It was like one degree.
Speaker 3: Now that first of all, I just think you get
Speaker 3: there and there's no stores open, there's nothing, there's no
Speaker 3: That sounds like hell, what do.
Speaker 4: You do for food?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 5: We had we had food in the car because this
Speaker 5: was like a we were doing a cross country road
Speaker 5: trip and we had food in the car, but it
Speaker 5: was like we were so at that point we were
Speaker 5: so starved for a hot meal. It was like we
Speaker 5: were eating canned soup or like, uh, peanut butter and
Speaker 5: jelly sandwiches for days, and we were like, man, it
Speaker 5: would be nice to just.
Speaker 4: What actually is the payoff here?
Speaker 3: Just seeing beautiful trees with snow on them? Like, what's
Speaker 3: the payoff for going? I'm not playing dumb. I know
Speaker 3: this comes up all the time on the show, like
Speaker 3: what Nikki, why can't you just understand the beauty of
Speaker 3: a hike or whatever? What's the point of all of this?
Speaker 1: The point of it is that there is no point
Speaker 1: to anything.
Speaker 2: They're bonding. It's the bonding experience.
Speaker 1: All that matters is.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's well, we did bond, but that's
Speaker 5: not what we didn't do it so we can bond?
Speaker 3: Is the point to look at pretty things there is.
Speaker 4: That's the point. That's a that's a point.
Speaker 5: There is no point to doing anything in life. Life
Speaker 5: is inherently meaningless and pointless, and so all you have
Speaker 5: to do is decide that something has a pointint and
Speaker 5: then it does.
Speaker 4: But so what is that point that you decided.
Speaker 1: It was an adventure?
Speaker 4: It was you can scratch off on your bucket.
Speaker 5: For me, I love the idea of checking off that
Speaker 5: I'm on on my my list. But also it was
Speaker 5: an adventure, and that that trip we could have stayed
Speaker 5: it was like a seven week trip. We could have
Speaker 5: stayed at home and experienced nothing for seven weeks.
Speaker 1: But now we went and we go to brunch.
Speaker 3: You could go on walks, you could go shopping, you
Speaker 3: could go you could watch a bunch of TV shows.
Speaker 4: You could like we could do that, go on hikes
Speaker 4: around here.
Speaker 5: But that's not that that wouldn't have been as special.
Speaker 5: This was really special. We had an amazing time and
Speaker 5: that and that's why people go. I think there's a
Speaker 5: certain level where you shouldn't go in a helicopter in
Speaker 5: the middle of the fog, because like your chances of
Speaker 5: dying are so high, Like I wouldn't skydive. But like
Speaker 5: this to me, and we didn't anticipate being trapped in
Speaker 5: this snowstorm. This is just something that happened.
Speaker 3: Right, But there is you did go in the winter
Speaker 3: to a place that could have snowy that.
Speaker 4: Not a lot of restops.
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, it wasn't. It wasn't the winter.
Speaker 5: It was an unseasonable arctic blast.
Speaker 3: Well you went during climate change and that shit happens,
Speaker 3: so it's on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I okay.
Speaker 3: I will say that there is something in me that
Speaker 3: does understand why hikes would be nice because there is
Speaker 3: a I'm staying on this ranch and there is a
Speaker 3: tiny patch it's point probably zero for miles, so it's
Speaker 3: a it's a little little patch, less than a twentieth
Speaker 3: of a mile, and it's beautiful and it's like you
Speaker 3: walk through it and you're like in the woods and
Speaker 3: there's a waterfall and it's so nice. And I will
Speaker 3: walk that back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,
Speaker 3: just listening to a good song. That's my kind of hiking.
Speaker 3: It's right off from where I live. It is within
Speaker 3: I don't have to drive anywhere to get to it.
Speaker 3: I don't have to there's no climbing. There's an end
Speaker 3: anytime I want it to be. I am point zero
Speaker 3: four miles from an end. It is right there. It's
Speaker 3: just a pathway, and I can just go back and
Speaker 3: forth and get that sense of nature. And I found
Speaker 3: myself just going back and forth so often I go,
Speaker 3: oh my God, I think I like hiking, But the
Speaker 3: truth is I still don't like hiking because all the
Speaker 3: things about hiking that I don't like are not involved
Speaker 3: in this.
Speaker 4: This is what I like.
Speaker 3: I like finding a wooded path that I can walk
Speaker 3: back and forth on, like it's in the courtyard of
Speaker 3: my retirement home. And they just built it so, you know,
Speaker 3: they could I could pretend I'm out in the woods.
Speaker 4: That's what I like.
Speaker 3: So I do understand like being in nature feels good,
Speaker 3: but I want it to be close by. And man,
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I'm angry about this, this two lane
Speaker 3: highway experience.
Speaker 4: I'm so mad at you. I want Ali to file
Speaker 4: like was she was she mad about her?
Speaker 3: Was she just like, oh no, she likes this stuff,
Speaker 3: so she was probably like she is, like we did it.
Speaker 5: She's way less risk averse than me. I was like
Speaker 5: white knuckles, like I was freaked out. I was like,
Speaker 5: this is really bad and she could have died. She
Speaker 5: was freaked out normal, which is like for her, that
Speaker 5: is like screaming your head off.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is insane. That was I would
Speaker 1: never choose to do that.
Speaker 5: I don't even like driving on a regular two way
Speaker 5: like road, like a country road. I think it's so
Speaker 5: stupid that you can drive over fifty miles an hour
Speaker 5: in opposite directions on the road and just trust that
Speaker 5: the other person's not going to go over the yellow line.
Speaker 5: The yellow line doesn't stop anything. It's just a line
Speaker 5: in the middle of the road.
Speaker 4: It's just a line.
Speaker 3: And people be texting, man, people be grabbing an ice
Speaker 3: cream cone that day dropped in the passenger side seat.
Speaker 4: That's how Dawson's dad died.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: You ever like reach for something that dropped and like
Speaker 3: you can't help, but the steering wheel moves with you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like there's I can't believe people aren't.
Speaker 5: There's some really so much more often when you're eating
Speaker 5: in the car. One time I was eating in the
Speaker 5: car and like I forgot it was like something like
Speaker 5: a little bean, like a little tiny piece of the
Speaker 5: thing that I was eating fell and I was, and
Speaker 5: for some reason, I was like, I cannot allow that
Speaker 5: little bean to be on the floor of my car
Speaker 5: for another second while I'm driving. So I was reaching
Speaker 5: for the bean, and I was I felt myself like
Speaker 5: I'm out of control right now. Yes, I was like
Speaker 5: what the f and I had to stop myself. I
Speaker 5: was like, what the fuck am I doing? Is it
Speaker 5: really worth dying to pick up this bean for I'm
Speaker 5: gonna I could, I could eat, I'm gonna be done
Speaker 5: driving in thirty minutes, and I could spend all day
Speaker 5: looking for the bean.
Speaker 1: Why do I have to do it now?
Speaker 3: I relate to it so much. It's so reckless, it's
Speaker 3: so stupid.
Speaker 4: We have to go.
Speaker 3: But I wanted to just say what I want to
Speaker 3: get to tomorrow on the show. This weekend, I met
Speaker 3: one of the richest people in the planet and I
Speaker 3: can't wait to talk about that, and truly one of
Speaker 3: the most wealthy persons people on the planet Earth. And
Speaker 3: I got to like interview them about being so wealthy,
Speaker 3: which is so exciting. And then I want to talk
Speaker 3: about the book you're reading Noah Okay, and I want
Speaker 3: to talk about the festival you went to this weekend.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, and yeah, and I want to and then
Speaker 3: I think Anya will be with us tomorrow, but we'll see,
Speaker 3: we'll see if her internet is up and working. But
Speaker 3: that's everything that you will get from the podcast tomorrow.
