Speaker 1: Forever. Hello, Oh hi, Hi, we're here. I love it.
Speaker 1: Sydney has a new coat on. You know what? My
Speaker 1: coat has to match your fly? You know, girl? Please?
Speaker 1: My coat looked like the homeless version of your coat. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no. Anything you put on? Friend, million bucks? Wow? Everything?
Speaker 1: Put my sunglasses on? Everything you have? I'm like, who
Speaker 1: styled you? What stylist? You have? No stylists.
Speaker 2: I was like, is that from Barney's where? Yeah, Barney's
Speaker 2: aka a SOS. Barney's is shutting down, so you know
Speaker 2: the kids are not chopping there no more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I heard that the sales or trash like
Speaker 3: things are still in the hundreds.
Speaker 1: You're not getting something that was like, yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Can't do a five percent off sale and thing people
Speaker 2: are going to show up and buy things. But I
Speaker 2: guess I'll say, like, designer things don't really go on sale.
Speaker 2: I guess you gotta go to Loman's or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just like, do we need designer looks anymore?
Speaker 3: Everything is uh designer or adjacent anyway, and it looks
Speaker 3: better than the stuff that actually costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So it's just like, why are we doing this? Yes,
Speaker 1: it's fast fashion.
Speaker 2: The world is ending by the stuff that you can
Speaker 2: only wear a couple of times and then the falls apart,
Speaker 2: and then you throw it away, and then they burn
Speaker 2: it and then the ozone layer has a big hole
Speaker 2: in it. I don't know whatever, as long as I
Speaker 2: look cute and I'm getting likes.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm gonna still put this out there
Speaker 1: free stuff. If people want to send me things to wear,
Speaker 1: I'll wear it. Well, I probably won't.
Speaker 3: But I want things to be sent to me, So
Speaker 3: please send to the stude.
Speaker 2: What was the episode that we did and you were like,
Speaker 2: people should be giving me free stock. I went to
Speaker 2: the store and I was like, yeah, this is this
Speaker 2: should be free.
Speaker 1: And everybody was looking at you like, I'm.
Speaker 2: You try to try.
Speaker 1: To stick the place up. You robbed a store? Was
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Exchange?
Speaker 2: You you was at a consignment shop asking for free stuff.
Speaker 2: They were like, bitch, what they were like, since we
Speaker 2: basically get this a way? Yeah, they're like that dress
Speaker 2: has skid marks, and like if you can't afford this
Speaker 2: twelve dollars shirt, you need to go down.
Speaker 1: But that's not necessarily true Buffalo Change.
Speaker 2: We having expensive things in there too, and right, it'd
Speaker 2: be a lot of top Shop things.
Speaker 1: But then it'll be like this is Alexander Wang, this
Speaker 1: is Alexander and.
Speaker 3: Then it'll be like fifty dollars is like, I'm not
Speaker 3: paying fifty dollars anywhere here, No way, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3: It's just it's wasteful. And considering that this is a secondhand,
Speaker 3: it almost is like it feels like the good Will.
Speaker 3: It's a step above the good will. Sure prices should
Speaker 3: be thirty dollars in under right.
Speaker 2: When I tell my mother I'm thrift things, she thinks
Speaker 2: I'm at a Salvation Army. Yeah, I'd be at a
Speaker 2: Buffalo Changer like a Crossroads, and she'll be like, yuck,
Speaker 2: you're wearing used por pie. Somebody died in that blouse.
Speaker 2: Like that's the energy that my mom has. When I
Speaker 2: told it, I'm through, yo, dead ass. Whoever it is,
Speaker 2: shit is perfect for me.
Speaker 1: Okay. And if Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads is listening, you
Speaker 1: know you can send us things. Are you're an expert
Speaker 1: in this week? What's good? Okay? So you know I
Speaker 1: got these air pods?
Speaker 2: Right, She's doing well, She's not tethered to her phone
Speaker 2: no more, and so I lost them.
Speaker 1: The other day.
Speaker 2: One of them fell on the train tracks at Union
Speaker 2: Square and it was very dramatic.
Speaker 1: It was a very dramatic moment.
Speaker 2: But I replaced it that day because I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm not If I had lost the whole case, then cool.
Speaker 2: But I lost one AirPod, so I was like, I
Speaker 2: have to replace it. It was like sixty five dollars
Speaker 2: plus tax. Oh, it was like seventy two dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so bitch.
Speaker 3: I would be listening to music like a Bluetooth. Just
Speaker 3: one air Yeah, that's it. Yeah, let me call you back,
Speaker 3: just like holding it anyway. So that was a week
Speaker 3: and a half ago that I lost it and replaced it.
Speaker 1: Last night we were out.
Speaker 2: I had my tiny purse with me because you know,
Speaker 2: tiny bags are in that what's on trend, and I
Speaker 2: went to pull something out of my purse and the
Speaker 2: air pod case popped out. The whole thing hit the ground,
Speaker 2: popped open. One of them comes out and they both
Speaker 2: slide under the sink of this of this club.
Speaker 1: The universe is trying to tell you, Marie, get rid
Speaker 1: of the pods.
Speaker 2: Cis even the bathroom on all fours trying to get
Speaker 2: my arm under this dirty ass New York City sink yu.
Speaker 1: I was like, but you got it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I got all types of
Speaker 2: like diseases on my arm since I got HPV, I
Speaker 2: got all the disease. I got crabs, I got chlamydia
Speaker 2: on my elbows. It's just everything. I got bed bugs. Now,
Speaker 2: it was so nasty, and you know I'm a germophobe,
Speaker 2: So I was like, you had to like soish my
Speaker 2: face down.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I got it.
Speaker 2: It was disgusting, but I got it back. And then
Speaker 2: I went home and I wiped everything down with an
Speaker 2: alcohol wipe.
Speaker 3: It's good to see how you would go out of
Speaker 3: the way for these air pods. I'm hoping that if
Speaker 3: I ever got like stuck somewhere in a small in a.
Speaker 1: Way, if you ever got stuck in a well, you
Speaker 1: would come through for me as well.
Speaker 3: You would get on all fours and put your hand down,
Speaker 3: and I would you would, I.
Speaker 2: Would call a firefighter. I'd be like my friend. Also,
Speaker 2: I think some AirPods is back there. And if you
Speaker 2: find money back there, that's also my I dropped a
Speaker 2: couple dollars back there. Anyway, I got it and well, yeah, Sidney, like,
Speaker 2: if something bad happened to you and I saw it happen,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'd be like one of those moms
Speaker 2: that like gets like super strength and like lifts a
Speaker 2: car off her baby.
Speaker 1: Probably not. You know, I haven't been to the gym
Speaker 1: since September, and the veins in your neck will be

Speaker 2: in this week?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I was an expert in just like I

Speaker 3: you could have it? And I was like, ah, this
Speaker 3: must be no. Everybody must have said no to this.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: And then I got there and I was like, ah,
Speaker 1: I see why they said no.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I went there and I should have done
Speaker 3: my makeup and my hair and I let someone else
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: You let the white people touch their hair and mess

Speaker 1: I was like, she kept asking, like, you know, is
Speaker 1: there anything else? I was like, everything else? This is what?
Speaker 1: Literally everything else. The background was white, which is awful.
Speaker 3: It's like you should never have a just all white
Speaker 3: background because you could catch every imperfection, any flyaway, any
Speaker 3: like dust.
Speaker 1: It just you could see everything. The background was white.
Speaker 1: The background was didn't even hit us with like a
Speaker 1: like a cream an egg shell, no egg shell, no

Speaker 3: They were looking at me on set and they were like, well,
Speaker 3: I guess this is what she looks like that, and
Speaker 3: they kept saying, you look great. I was like, I don't,
Speaker 3: but it's fine. I leaned in so I just couldn't.
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm the expert in just letting it happen.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not gonna fight. Yes, it's the
Speaker 1: end of the year. I don't have time.
Speaker 2: You know, the industry is shutting down. We don't care anyways.
Speaker 2: Speaking of shutting down, our guest is not shutting down.
Speaker 2: Our guests is turned up. Our guest is uh, you
Speaker 2: know is a comedian here in New York, has done
Speaker 2: HBO too, dope queens okay, and now is here with
Speaker 2: two other doupe queens.
Speaker 3: Yes, and as a freshmany on hands look way better
Speaker 3: than mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah you see, let me see how soft they are? Oh,
Speaker 1: you need no work. I put lotion on two. It
Speaker 1: is still rough.
Speaker 2: I feel like real pis fine.
Speaker 4: But in a hot way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know if that's hot. Somebody told
Speaker 1: me I had rough hands once. It was a man.
Speaker 1: It's fine.
Speaker 3: But our guest is, you know your hands are so soft.
Speaker 3: It comes from maybe from you know, all the money
Speaker 3: that you have, and theybody that you love wasting okay,
Speaker 3: So he is our wasting money, our splurging experts.
Speaker 1: Yes, give it up for Josh shop.
Speaker 4: We love. How are you both well?
Speaker 2: Do you have any First of all, we're doing great.
Speaker 2: Thank you for asking people. Of course, people don't normally
Speaker 2: ask us how we're doing well.
Speaker 4: You know, the I think the audience at home they
Speaker 4: want to be on the journey. We have already greet
Speaker 4: each other before now, but they don't know that the
Speaker 4: illusion is sort of we just showed up, so lest
Speaker 4: they think me impolite, you know, how are.
Speaker 1: We were missed? Where are you from?
Speaker 4: North Carolina?
Speaker 1: I love it?
Speaker 4: Where where are you from? I'm from New York, Okay?
Speaker 4: And where are you from?
Speaker 1: Heaven? Heaven must be missing a janitor.
Speaker 3: No, Heaven is missing a waitress.
Speaker 1: Must be missing waitress.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Josh, did you have any you know, insight
Speaker 3: on anything that we said over here?
Speaker 4: Yes? I agree with you on the buffalo, but I
Speaker 4: like the idea that I'm wearing someone a dead person's globes,
Speaker 4: Like I now own a lot of items that I'm like,
Speaker 4: Thank god, some like sort of off kilter. Grandma died
Speaker 4: so that I could make this sort of like sequin
Speaker 4: jumper into a one into a crop top.
Speaker 1: So you got a lot of brooches at your house?
Speaker 4: Oh yes. I decided this summer to make clip on
Speaker 4: earrings my fashion story. And not just for the lack
Speaker 4: of commitment that I don't have to pierce my ears,
Speaker 4: also because clipons have a distinct look like they don't
Speaker 4: make real earrings that look like like they kind of
Speaker 4: look like your grandma have to take them off to
Speaker 4: answer the phone. You know, it's very gold girls. And
Speaker 4: so then sometimes it would be fun like you know,
Speaker 4: if you're going to the club trying to look hip
Speaker 4: and then also sort of have these like garish monstrosities
Speaker 4: on your ears, and then they become social because people
Speaker 4: are like I like those and you take them off
Speaker 4: like trime on, well.
Speaker 2: Because my ears aren't persware clip ons, But like, where
Speaker 2: are you getting your clipons from?
Speaker 4: Drift? Mostly like and not even just the buffalo like
Speaker 4: some like like if you've been the Mother of Junk
Speaker 4: and Bedford, that's truly just like a warehouse jump it's
Speaker 4: filled with garbage. You wouldn't go there for clothes, really,
Speaker 4: but you'd go there for like Choschke's and train gets
Speaker 4: and like gross art. But they have a bunch of clipons.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm putting Mother of Junk in my phone.
Speaker 4: I have a lot of spooky art that I've gotten there.
Speaker 4: That's oh so much garbage art. But it truly is like,
Speaker 4: you know, take your anxiety pills, because it's just like
Speaker 4: a warehouse filled with trash. Like you're like swimming in trash,
Speaker 4: like like low rent Scrooge McDuck and just like trying
Speaker 4: to like find treasures.
Speaker 1: Like diving into garbage. Yeah, I heard you.
Speaker 4: Some places like that, but the buffaloes and stuff also
Speaker 4: have them. But I also in that time was buying
Speaker 4: a lot of like sort of like eighties Grandma sequin tops,
Speaker 4: you know, bit yeah, big shoulder kind of things.
Speaker 1: This T shirt has shoulder pads that I'm wearing right now.
Speaker 1: Are you spending a lot of money on these items
Speaker 1: or that?
Speaker 4: Well? So here's what I think, because we we we
Speaker 4: we spoke off air to like really hammered down what
Speaker 4: the expertise topic should be.
Speaker 2: Yes, because I'm very professional, we wait until right before
Speaker 2: the guest sits down and be like, well, what are
Speaker 2: you here?
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. I do think that, like clothes is not
Speaker 4: a thing out truly, what I think we're using the
Speaker 4: term wasting money is most of the ship I spend
Speaker 4: a lot of money on is stuff that I don't keep.
Speaker 4: It's like going to shows or buy or fancy ass food.
Speaker 4: Like I don't spend that much on clothes, like most
Speaker 4: of the things I actually own are not that expensive.
Speaker 4: But I will blow money on ship that I have
Speaker 4: nothing to show for it. Okay, drop hundreds on a
Speaker 4: meal that you ultimately ship out of your asshole the
Speaker 4: same way you do anything. I mean, but it definitely is.
Speaker 1: But are you going on dates?
Speaker 2: Are you going are you taking yourself out on these
Speaker 2: extravagant dinners?
Speaker 1: Like are you a fool?
Speaker 5: My dear?
Speaker 4: You know that where we started with this was I
Speaker 4: was recognizing that I've been to a lot of concerts,
Speaker 4: and then we were talking about that and we realize, like, oh,
Speaker 4: I also wear most of the ship I waste my
Speaker 4: money on. Is that? And so I feel like I
Speaker 4: do have certain I mean, I'll take myself to whatever.
Speaker 4: You know, you don't need to have a person. But
Speaker 4: but my sister, my work wife, my dear friend, Aaron
Speaker 4: Jackson shares that sort of lush tendency. So he's the
Speaker 4: one I can.
Speaker 1: Count on to go to these dinners with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and my brother goes to a lot Gary Richardson
Speaker 4: and I have gone, what are you kind.
Speaker 1: Of work do you do that? You got all this
Speaker 1: money that you just throwing you just making it rain?
Speaker 1: Where you worked for the opposition?
Speaker 4: You're I had that Comedy Central gig for like a bit,
Speaker 4: and then Aaron and I have sold some scripts and
Speaker 4: then also some scripts, you know. But I also think like,
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, the ledger line is
Speaker 4: not that high. She's not raking in that much money.
Speaker 4: It's where is she appropriating it? You know? It's like
Speaker 4: I really that's where a lot of the expendable income goes.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Josh, I gotta interrupt you, Sydney. Can we
Speaker 2: start saying we sold some scripts?
Speaker 1: Yes? Fuck are we doing? I'm on well future now
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I just want to start saying that
Speaker 1: we've done it. That's it.
Speaker 4: That's the first step. All right, just say it, Just
Speaker 4: say it.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: And I have sold the scripts, some scripts. I got
Speaker 1: it for you since twenty twenty, starting off January the second. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we sold some sold some scripts. Got that first of all,
Speaker 1: love that for you.
Speaker 4: But I don't I don't think it's that. I don't
Speaker 4: think I'm making that much cash. I'm like, I'm I
Speaker 4: can pay the rent and everything's going okay. But it's
Speaker 4: mostly like it's to me, not the amount of money
Speaker 4: I'm wasting, it's the places I'm wasting it on.
Speaker 1: Where are you going?
Speaker 4: I mean where?
Speaker 1: It's like, how do you decide where?
Speaker 4: Like I spent one hundred and forty dollars on Jill
Speaker 4: Scott tickets yesterday, and that's that's more money than I
Speaker 4: need to pay to see Jill Jill.
Speaker 1: Scott God bless shod.
Speaker 4: But I love where she performed Grato City Music Hall.
Speaker 4: But it's the twentieth anniversary of Who Is Jill Scott.
Speaker 4: She's playing the whole album front to back. I was like, well, okay,
Speaker 4: your price.
Speaker 2: Actually she should be charging more for that's not even
Speaker 2: for the good seats.
Speaker 1: I was just like, sure, bathroom.
Speaker 4: I think like, you know, like mezzanine too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know you got quite the balcony. I'm in like
Speaker 4: sub balcony like upper mess. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like your accent is so twenty is gonna
Speaker 1: make me twenty two? Yeah, bring it twang.
Speaker 4: It's the same. It's malleable for me too. Where it's
Speaker 4: like I think, I think I have a certain adopted
Speaker 4: a certain sort of just like fag accent ultimately.
Speaker 1: Faccent, yeah accident.
Speaker 4: But when I'm down South talking to my like hog
Speaker 4: farmer cousins, I will feel that I will like inherently
Speaker 4: sort of like mimic like end up being like like
Speaker 4: feeling like I'm in full gone with the whims.
Speaker 1: Yes, give us. It a little a little preview, you know.
Speaker 4: But it does. It's that thing where it's not in
Speaker 4: your control.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, if you're talking to your mom, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you speak to your mother still, but.
Speaker 4: She's a dead person. So my dad.
Speaker 1: When you speak to your dad, we speak to Paul.
Speaker 4: When I speak to Paul, we actually do call him Pops.
Speaker 4: We sort of decided on his grandpa name, even though
Speaker 4: I ain't nobody given him grandkids.
Speaker 1: But I love it.
Speaker 4: Me my gay ass and my like touring musician brother.
Speaker 4: It's like nobody's given him.
Speaker 2: Your touring musician brother might have some hose lined up
Speaker 2: all over the place.
Speaker 1: Got ganis about it exactly.
Speaker 4: You might be right.
Speaker 1: His name is Jacob, Jacob Jacob.
Speaker 3: He got hoes, and he got babies in a different area.
Speaker 4: Babies only hope. That's why you live that life on
Speaker 4: the road. Obviously, Wait, how much do y'all go on
Speaker 4: the road? By the way, well, we.
Speaker 1: Are here, cities won't be in Austin this.
Speaker 4: Week, and then because it's a grind and they we're.
Speaker 2: In San Francisco in like a couple of weeks, and
Speaker 2: then I don't know, maybe they could trip do something
Speaker 2: not comedy, But that's another thing.
Speaker 4: I love to travel. I'll drop money on that too,
Speaker 4: like hours prioritize that. But again, it's like you don't
Speaker 4: have anything to show for it. It's just you've like pictures,
Speaker 4: you take pictures. Yeah, sure you could take pictures.
Speaker 1: Said, yeah, sure you could take pitches.
Speaker 4: But I mean, like the whole point is not that
Speaker 4: you're ultimately keeping.
Speaker 1: Anything, but what's your favorite place to visit? Like when
Speaker 1: you're traveling.
Speaker 4: I love Berlin.
Speaker 1: Oh see, I've never been to Berlin never. I haven't
Speaker 1: always even thought about that.
Speaker 4: And I've grown to Lovechievik, Iceland as well. What weirdly,
Speaker 4: there's a comedy scene there.
Speaker 1: Is it cold?
Speaker 4: It is cold? Yeah, if you go in the summer,
Speaker 4: it's less cold. If you went now, it's cold, so I.
Speaker 1: Would only need a jacket in the summer time. Uh.
Speaker 4: Weirdly though, yeah yeah, but weirdly though, it gets cold there,
Speaker 4: but the range is not as bad, so like like
Speaker 4: it is sometimes colder here in the winter than but
Speaker 4: there it's just sort of always sort of cold, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like where we are here, they're
Speaker 4: like here, you know, it's it sort of stays in
Speaker 4: the same range, you know, within I don't know thirty
Speaker 4: degrees you, I don't know.
Speaker 3: If I'm spending a lot of money, it's gotta be warm.
Speaker 3: I want to have my shoulders out. I don't want
Speaker 3: to have to be thinking about a jacket and go
Speaker 3: check and hats and scarves and shit.
Speaker 1: I want to wear and black eyes. Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to have you know, see, And it's expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you spend a lot of money to sort of
Speaker 4: feel like you've gone to the Moon because nowhere looks
Speaker 4: like it. It's the most geologically like active place on Earth.
Speaker 1: Because like geysers and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of like active guysers and volcanos there,
Speaker 4: So it's like more the land there is changing at
Speaker 4: a at a more recent and rapid rate than anywhere
Speaker 4: else on there. Youutruly around places where you're like, this
Speaker 4: feels like the damn Moon. Nothing looks like this.
Speaker 1: I'm not interested, No, thank you. So that's that's fine.
Speaker 2: But our friends said she wants to take a trip
Speaker 2: to like a cabin or something in the woods.
Speaker 1: I was like, that sounds like how people get murdered.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, or drop acid which and then get murdered.
Speaker 1: Maybe why is the murdered in there?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess you're right. Where's the cabin?
Speaker 1: I don't know. We don't know, We doesn't know.
Speaker 3: But whenever you do like trips like that where's still cold,
Speaker 3: you're still spending the money that you could spend to
Speaker 3: go somewhere warm. I will always have to go to
Speaker 3: somewhere where the sun is out. We could go to
Speaker 3: the beach, and I don't want to bring that many clothes.
Speaker 1: Also, when you pack, you.
Speaker 2: Got to bring like more like right, like sick sweaters,
Speaker 2: thick colds.
Speaker 4: No, it's true. I'm about to go to Spain for
Speaker 4: Christmas and then Amsterdam for New Years, and it's going
Speaker 4: to be cute. I've never been to Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: I was there over the summer. I really liked it.
Speaker 1: How was it that people are nice?
Speaker 2: The food sucks, but the people are nice, high the
Speaker 2: entire time.
Speaker 1: It's a good time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I bet that'll be my life.
Speaker 1: What's the weather going to be like over there? Probably cold,
Speaker 1: It's probably be cold.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be cold, but that's okay. But again, I
Speaker 4: got to think about that packing plan because Spain will
Speaker 4: be less.
Speaker 1: Cold, Okay, so Spain. Are you going to Spain?
Speaker 4: So my family and I sort of share this lush tendency,
Speaker 4: and we've started traveling on Christmas now rather than just
Speaker 4: like going home and doing the normal like fravacy grandma.
Speaker 4: So now we pick a place and we all travel.
Speaker 1: How many family members.
Speaker 4: It's my dad and my two brothers. It actually started honestly,
Speaker 4: like maybe eight years ago, like soon after my mom died,
Speaker 4: that we really realized we all like we were sort
Speaker 4: of like wanting time together and we like to travel.
Speaker 4: And then all our lives are crazy because I do
Speaker 4: this and my brother's on the road, and my other
Speaker 4: brother was in school at the time, and so we
Speaker 4: were like Christmas was like the only time that we're like,
Speaker 4: we're all free Christmas. So then we were like, what
Speaker 4: if instead of just like going home and doing that
Speaker 4: whole thing, we went to you know, Barcelona, And then
Speaker 4: we just did it and now it's become this tradition.
Speaker 4: It's actually really.
Speaker 1: Sweet because my dad here for eight years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now my dad every year sort of thinks it's
Speaker 4: going to be the last one because he's like a sweet,
Speaker 4: genteel Southern man. He's I was like, listen, I get it.
Speaker 4: You guys got partners, you might have to go do
Speaker 4: Christmas with them, you know, And we're always like, oh yeah, wait,
Speaker 4: so some of us are like you know were you know.
Speaker 4: To me, I'm like, this is this is my family thing.
Speaker 2: I love that where you could be like this is separate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you're allowed to say that you're in a relationship with.
Speaker 1: Somebody you don't see you all the time, right. I
Speaker 1: lived together and we don't.
Speaker 4: Either, because I think that's also part of the same
Speaker 4: sort of thing where yeah, I want so, yeah, we
Speaker 4: do Thanksgiving together though, and that's fun.
Speaker 1: No, that that's the one that I'm like, oh, but
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 4: Travel for Thanksgiving? I used to, because now I stay
Speaker 4: here and I love it because it's the worst time.
Speaker 4: I think it's the worst time to travel.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm from here, so I don't have to go
Speaker 1: that far.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. Now I stay and we just do
Speaker 4: a big gay thanks Aaron's husband, Michael, cooks like a
Speaker 4: lavish dinner and we just like, you know, drink a
Speaker 4: bunch of fancy.
Speaker 1: Okay what that means? So no turkeys on the table.
Speaker 4: No turkey's on But he went to culinary institute and
Speaker 4: like can't actually cook.
Speaker 1: And so like the turkey be not as ashy, a
Speaker 1: little moist.
Speaker 4: Not a single ash on the turkey.
Speaker 3: So he's using like like purase, and he got like
Speaker 3: a bizomic.
Speaker 4: Un skin under the skins. Okay, stuff I can't even
Speaker 4: describe to you because it were requires a type of
Speaker 4: training that I will never understand.
Speaker 1: And where do they do the Thanksgiving at their house?
Speaker 4: They do it at their house.
Speaker 1: So what do you bring into a friends given that's
Speaker 1: cooked by Here's.
Speaker 4: The thing at this one, No dishes allowed because Michael
Speaker 4: is so good.
Speaker 1: He's sort of like he likes soggy potatoes at your house.
Speaker 4: It would make it harder for him and the meal
Speaker 4: would depreciate if you were to bring It's sort of
Speaker 4: he's rather like and he wants to like plan the
Speaker 4: meal exactly how he wants. He doesn't want to be
Speaker 4: fielding like three different So you.
Speaker 1: Bring the grocess a casse role to you.
Speaker 4: Would imbalance his perfectly planned.
Speaker 1: Trying to bring your soggy greens to the table.
Speaker 4: And no thank you, No wait, but will y'all drop
Speaker 4: dollar on fancy dinners?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I want people to feed me and pay for it.
Speaker 2: But that's oh okay, wait back in.
Speaker 4: The day, do you do you have agents and stuff.
Speaker 4: I always make them take me out of fancy dinner.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll pay for it for myself too, But
Speaker 4: I mean that's the point of having an agent is
Speaker 4: it's like, here's this Michelin star restaurant manager is not.
Speaker 1: Bringing me to no michelan nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why you have to sell some scrill couples in.
Speaker 3: They will be right there to bring you to a
Speaker 3: nice dinner.
Speaker 4: I guess you know right, maybe that's devis.
Speaker 1: Yes, it did.
Speaker 4: You didn't want to work for work, you wanted it
Speaker 4: for a couple of tangentle fancy dinners.
Speaker 3: Yes, when you make them a lot of money, then
Speaker 3: they feel like, oh, let me get you these tickets
Speaker 3: to this play or this concert or this dinner.
Speaker 4: So I honestly don't even know if we've made them
Speaker 4: that much money. I also think they just know we
Speaker 4: are Lush's Aaron and I and so they're sort of
Speaker 4: like and they love it and it's not you know,
Speaker 4: it's on company cards. So you're sort of like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we should go in over a big boozy lunch.
Speaker 2: Does somebody's managers be gripping these these company cards.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, is this coming out with your account? Tykey?
Speaker 1: Oh you have to expense this all? You got to
Speaker 1: wait for them to send you the money. Yeah, got it.
Speaker 4: So you've never done like those like true, like Bougie Michelin,
Speaker 4: like you're getting twelve courses. You're spending three hundred dollars
Speaker 4: on a meal you shouldn't spend.
Speaker 1: Well, talk to us about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, First of all, how do you decide which Micheline place.
Speaker 1: You want to go to? You've gone to Parsee, I
Speaker 1: haven't gone to per Se.
Speaker 2: Well, let's tell people who are listening what all of
Speaker 2: this means, right, because not everybody knows what.
Speaker 1: A per se is.
Speaker 4: Or here's what I've actually recently come to understand what
Speaker 4: the history of it is because Micheline as in the tires, honey,
Speaker 4: So what happened was and.
Speaker 1: It's become it's really the tires.
Speaker 4: Yes, No, here's where it was born out of because
Speaker 4: they are, I believe, a French company, and you know
Speaker 4: French invented cooking, but back in like the seventies, they
Speaker 4: basically used it as a promotional means to get people
Speaker 4: to travel. So like the three stars are like, you know,
Speaker 4: like worth a visit, worth a trip, and go out
Speaker 4: of your way to eat here, basically is what they mean.
Speaker 4: They're basically like going it like drive to another place
Speaker 4: and eat this fancy meal.
Speaker 1: Youose their tires to go get food.
Speaker 4: But then it became sort of the gold standard for
Speaker 4: what like fine dining was. It became this coveted thing,
Speaker 4: and now all these like chefs and restaurants like make
Speaker 4: these fancy ass places to try and get them. And
Speaker 4: if you like lose a star, it's like drama.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw Ratituy.
Speaker 2: The guy just the shift died exactly after he lost
Speaker 2: another star.
Speaker 4: One star places can be like casual, but like the
Speaker 4: two and three ones. I've never done a three actually,
Speaker 4: but the two are like you're gonna get multiple courses,
Speaker 4: you're gonna have like a crazy type of service, you're
Speaker 4: gonna drive.
Speaker 1: So how many stars, it's out of three thought it
Speaker 1: was out of five.
Speaker 4: Getting one is a battle, so it's not like one
Speaker 4: means bad. It's like we don't even visit you unless
Speaker 4: you matter sort of their thing. And then like you
Speaker 4: get one, it means you're.
Speaker 2: Hot, because most restaurants don't have any stars, So for
Speaker 2: you to have us star is like that you might
Speaker 2: have some rats in the back.
Speaker 1: But you know, so the food is good.
Speaker 4: But then what's fun is that it forces you to eat.
Speaker 4: I mean one there's no defense of it. Actually, this
Speaker 4: is what a waste of money? Again, it's like this
Speaker 4: is such boogie one percent nonsense. But it does like
Speaker 4: sort of encourage us to different type of dining because
Speaker 4: everything is contextual, right, Like you're it's that thing where
Speaker 4: when someone comes over and they're like some smaller is
Speaker 4: like pitching you on a wine and they're spending five
Speaker 4: minutes describing it.
Speaker 2: You're like you're okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: You like notice things you didn't or you have tricked
Speaker 4: yourself into believing that.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a trick.
Speaker 4: Then you've bought in what I mean, what is what
Speaker 4: is reality if not like this whatever you've tricked yourself
Speaker 4: into believing.
Speaker 2: If I'm at a restaurant and there's a somalia there,
Speaker 2: best believe I'm not paying. I'm on a date with somebody,
Speaker 2: or I'm with somebody who has their corporate card.
Speaker 4: But then it's usually you get lots of courses and
Speaker 4: it means you're having like a four hour dinner and
Speaker 4: then you're like you're with your friend and you have
Speaker 4: to like you're talking, you're getting drunk. You're like, you know,
Speaker 4: but that.
Speaker 1: Many courses do I don't. I'm not that hungry.
Speaker 4: And the other thing is once you paste it out
Speaker 4: over the course of like you know, so many hours,
Speaker 4: you just like you just you keep and you've spent
Speaker 4: so much money, You're.
Speaker 1: Like, how much per person? How much we talked?
Speaker 4: The last one we did, we went to Blue Hill,
Speaker 4: which is that one Upstate and Hills for dinner per person? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: But this was like a like save up and making.
Speaker 1: It Blue Hills sounds like a like a fried chicken place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sound it's actually called Stone Barns at Blue
Speaker 4: Hill something something. It's got like a longer name.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a neighborhood restaurant. Yes, it sounds like
Speaker 1: somebody grandma worked.
Speaker 4: I did with the last one before that. Oh, Over
Speaker 4: the summer, Aaron and I flew to Mexico City to
Speaker 4: see Bjorkan concert. Again.
Speaker 1: What I think.
Speaker 4: I've ever done?
Speaker 1: Sydney? What are we do? Like? What?
Speaker 4: But here's why this.
Speaker 1: Is what we should be using our Patreon for.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is what I mean, honestly says once a
Speaker 2: month we should be doing something like flying to a
Speaker 2: place to eat something.
Speaker 4: My thing is like make spaghetti at home, and then
Speaker 4: just blow all your cash on this. And this was
Speaker 4: such a gay waste of money because how gorgeous.
Speaker 1: How much is the bar?
Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you that York was probably like
Speaker 4: two hundred bucks, but but then plus a flight to
Speaker 4: Mexico City, which is like four hundred and something, and
Speaker 4: then an airbnb which is like a couple hundreds And
Speaker 4: this is for a concert she did in New York.
Speaker 4: Like I could have seen her, I could have gone
Speaker 4: ten blocks and instead, my gay assterid.
Speaker 1: You were like, this airbnb is cute.
Speaker 4: And then it's sort of what the economically they call
Speaker 4: the sunken cost fallacy, which is once you spent a
Speaker 4: certain amount of money, you are thus more likely to
Speaker 4: spend more money that you wouldn't have in the first
Speaker 4: place to play from meals instead, like if someone was like,
Speaker 4: do you want to spend to it? Because then we
Speaker 4: would to this Michelin Star place pooh Hoole, which I've
Speaker 4: gone to before. It was my second time. It's this
Speaker 4: like two hundred dollars meal. You have this molay that
Speaker 4: is like six years old, that's been simmering on a
Speaker 4: stove for six years. Molay is like that, No, it's
Speaker 4: like that. You often have it whenever you have Mexican food.
Speaker 4: It can be sourced from a lot of different things.
Speaker 4: It comes from. It's like a sauce basically.
Speaker 1: Six years age six.
Speaker 4: And here's the thing. My dude every day just shows
Speaker 4: up and throws new stuff in it, whatever he wants
Speaker 4: to sort of add to it. So when you ask
Speaker 4: them how many ingredients are in it, they're like, we
Speaker 4: don't know at this point, but we believe it's like
Speaker 4: three hundred and some because every day he's just like
Speaker 4: today we're going to put some corn in it. And
Speaker 4: it's just been it's.
Speaker 1: It's just been sitting.
Speaker 4: So what it's been cooking for six years? Okay, simmer
Speaker 4: in the whole time.
Speaker 3: But it tastes different every single time because they're adding
Speaker 3: new stuff.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh, that is fun.
Speaker 4: Same we should be doing is a traditional Mexican sauce
Speaker 4: that he's made into this like elevated, Like no one's
Speaker 4: done that, no one's been like, what how do you
Speaker 4: fancy up.
Speaker 1: How many stars did that place have?
Speaker 4: I think just one and it was good and it
Speaker 4: was so good.
Speaker 1: How many courses did you have?
Speaker 4: That one was only like seven?
Speaker 2: Okay, so do you remember like what typically what is
Speaker 2: It's like a little salady type thing and then they
Speaker 2: all deconstructed.
Speaker 4: It depends on Yes, you're warmer on that one, right,
Speaker 4: but they're all like depends on what them of the
Speaker 4: place is. So like when I went to Poohole, it
Speaker 4: was basically like, I know it's p u j o L,
Speaker 4: but the j is like.
Speaker 1: American poo joel.
Speaker 4: The menu and we that went there was all sort
Speaker 4: of like sea influenced, fish influence, so you're getting a
Speaker 4: lot of different types of like fish or things where
Speaker 4: you didn't know where the fish was. Blue Hills thing
Speaker 4: is that they're on this barn and they do a
Speaker 4: bunch of sort of like this farm upstate and they
Speaker 4: do a bunch of sort of crazy agriculture, like they
Speaker 4: just like basically have a bunch of like agriculture scientists
Speaker 4: up there trying to like make the perfect tomato like
Speaker 4: that kind of nonsense. So they'll do ship where they're
Speaker 4: it's hyper seasonal. It's just like whatever is good literally
Speaker 4: this week, and they'll serve you shit. Like like, they
Speaker 4: gave us this one course for dessert that was just
Speaker 4: they called it milk in four stages, and you just
Speaker 4: had a bunch of different like milk desserts. So you
Speaker 4: had this ice cream that was incredible, but it was
Speaker 4: not flavored with anything other than milk, but it was
Speaker 4: so rich and creamy and gorgeous. We were like, what
Speaker 4: is the story on this? And they're like, my mouth
Speaker 4: is I'm here's.
Speaker 1: What it's like. Your palate is different. You've got a
Speaker 1: different palate, but you.
Speaker 4: Would taste this and be like what the fuck?
Speaker 1: You love ice cream?
Speaker 4: Plain ice cream? And this is what it was up.
Speaker 4: I forget the name of it, but they were like, oh,
Speaker 4: that's made of blank and they're like, it's the milk
Speaker 4: that the cow makes within twelve hours after giving birth.
Speaker 4: It's the richest, most dense milk they ever.
Speaker 1: Made, Mama milk.
Speaker 4: They took it and made ice cream, and then after
Speaker 4: that the milk goes back to be a normal milk.
Speaker 4: But they're like, it's basically carry delicacy and we like
Speaker 4: shaved some off from the calf and made ice cream
Speaker 4: out of it.
Speaker 1: They killing cows up there, made of cows. Yes, okay, whoa.
Speaker 4: So it's like you'll never have that anywhere.
Speaker 2: I mean again, Josh, I'm sitting here and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what am I doing with my life? Okay, we're going
Speaker 2: to do that, sis, Like I just want to experience
Speaker 2: something radical like that once.
Speaker 4: A lot of it's nonsense.
Speaker 3: What are the reservations? Like do you got to do
Speaker 3: like months in advance?
Speaker 4: You got to be on top of it for most
Speaker 4: of them, Like how long I think we got that one?
Speaker 4: A couple of months in advance, and it's the kind
Speaker 4: of thing where it's like three months out like to
Speaker 4: the day it goes on, and they all get snatched
Speaker 4: up in like a couple of minutes. So you gotta again,
Speaker 4: you got to treat it like it's like it's concert ticket.
Speaker 4: You got to treat it like tickets. You're like to
Speaker 4: like get you know. Okay, they're all different, but that
Speaker 4: a lot of them do like that last been any
Speaker 4: of those crazy three like per se kind of things
Speaker 4: that are like even more expensive and harder to get table.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like a thousand dollars and it'd be
Speaker 3: like twelve course.
Speaker 4: One day I'll make my age and do that when
Speaker 4: we like really really hit it, when any of them
Speaker 4: get made, which none of them might be.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't matter. You got paid for writing it. No,
Speaker 2: not even that you wrote it. You had an idea
Speaker 2: of something, you wrote it, you finished it, you sold it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm still on I have an idea and then write it.
Speaker 4: But that's all it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is your writing process, Aaron?
Speaker 4: And I is different than I have had with any
Speaker 4: other writing partner that we're basically always in the room,
Speaker 4: like working on it together. Okay, you know, like you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes you'll like I'll do a draft now email it
Speaker 4: to you and you'll do a passy back and forth.
Speaker 4: I feel like we have to be in the same room.
Speaker 4: But a lot of times the stuff we're writing, there's
Speaker 4: lots of times when someone writes something, they're like, read
Speaker 4: that is it a joke? Because it's so stupid that
Speaker 4: you need constant affirmation. But then it's sort of fun
Speaker 4: because then on like the micro and macro level, you
Speaker 4: can be sharing duties, like you could be talking it out. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and so I got it, and they try and they
Speaker 4: might do a whole page, or they might just do too.
Speaker 1: Like you right from home? Do you have a wee work,
Speaker 1: let's talk, we'll.
Speaker 4: Go to one of our homes or sometimes if we're
Speaker 4: feeling real lazy, or if it's not like a full day,
Speaker 4: if you have to do like if you have to
Speaker 4: like do deal with some notes on something, be like
Speaker 4: we can do it in three hours, then we'll like
Speaker 4: skype or whatever. Because he's in Harlem and I'm in Williamsburg,
Speaker 4: so that's a commute. But I got a new place
Speaker 4: in February and I have my own place and I
Speaker 4: have an office. Yeah, so she'll come over to the office.
Speaker 1: You know, where's the new It's also in Williams.
Speaker 4: Back on Williamsburg. Got lucky actually when the l was
Speaker 4: like sort of shutting down but not shutting down, and
Speaker 4: got a real big place for cheap.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, but wait, how long have you been writing?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 3: Because as soon as you like get into the writing mode,
Speaker 3: it's easier to write.
Speaker 1: Ye, get into like a groove.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you mean, like like in our like
Speaker 4: how long does stuff take? Or like how long?
Speaker 1: No, how long have you been writing?
Speaker 4: Yeah? A couple of years? I get like Aaron and
Speaker 4: I uh like met through improv. He's well, I was
Speaker 4: writing with people before that, but he's been my closest
Speaker 4: work wife for like four years. Probably. We were like
Speaker 4: doing improv and then we wrote this musical and then
Speaker 4: that was like the first thing we sold as a script.
Speaker 4: So then we worked on that and we were like, oh, well,
Speaker 4: I want to do this. But then we did that
Speaker 4: Comedy Central gig for a little bit, and we'd like
Speaker 4: write our own stuff, but we're we were like on air,
Speaker 4: but you would because it was like a daily show
Speaker 4: type of thing. Writing a lot of your own.
Speaker 1: Stuff, right, this is amazing.
Speaker 4: Wait do you write stuff you much? I mean you
Speaker 4: write stand up clearly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But it's just the writing process for me is
Speaker 3: like okay, I'll write it out and then I'm so
Speaker 3: long winded that I need help just getting straight.
Speaker 1: To the point.
Speaker 4: I get that that's my issue to someone.
Speaker 1: Just making it like the joke.
Speaker 4: But I feel like stand up. I never write down
Speaker 4: or I'll like jot notes, but I like to just
Speaker 4: like go on a long walk and sort of like
Speaker 4: be muttering in myself and then I'll be like, you got.
Speaker 1: It, muttering.
Speaker 2: I'll just be trying my new jokes out all right,
Speaker 2: and the random conversations right, and then I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: they didn't laugh, they must.
Speaker 4: So then that process feels very different from me than
Speaker 4: like if we're like writing a movie or something, and then.
Speaker 3: It's like I'll writ in a movie, there's fucking so
Speaker 3: much structure and there's so many.
Speaker 4: You want to hear some tea. Yeah, because this was
Speaker 4: like a lesson we learned backwards where it was basically
Speaker 4: like we had done this musical. I feel like we
Speaker 4: sort of back asked into selling it as a movie
Speaker 4: to Fox like four years ago for this crazy fag
Speaker 4: musical called fucking Identical Twins. They paid us to write
Speaker 4: it God Blessed. They did not make it of course,
Speaker 4: literally ends with a song called God is a Faggot.
Speaker 4: We're like, you're never gonna buy that, but like, thank
Speaker 4: you for the check. Remixed it right exactly. Checks come in.
Speaker 4: So then at the time we were like getting this
Speaker 4: gig to write a movie and we're like, okay, we've
Speaker 4: never done it before, but we're like okay. And then
Speaker 4: the production company had this and it was a musical.
Speaker 4: They're like, we're actually producing this other musical. Would you
Speaker 4: light it because we had told them. We're like, they're like,
Speaker 4: would you do an outline for us first, and we're like,
Speaker 4: for sure, because we'd already done one for ourselves. It
Speaker 4: was like four pages of just like this happens, then
Speaker 4: this happens, and they're like, let us share you this
Speaker 4: outline for this other musical we're making with Josh Gad
Speaker 4: or something, and they shared us forty five pages, like
Speaker 4: every single.
Speaker 1: The outline was forty five.
Speaker 4: It was like every single thing that happens, every single moment.
Speaker 4: It's basically the whole movie without dialogue, but like in
Speaker 4: real detail, and that's when we're like, oh, that's how
Speaker 4: this goes. So then we did it and it was
Speaker 4: so helpful where it is like if you spin all
Speaker 4: the hard work up top, just like cracking every single
Speaker 4: moment like what's happening and fucking why and making sure
Speaker 4: it all connects, then you write it and you're just like, oh,
Speaker 4: now I just get to add jokes, and then it's
Speaker 4: so much better.
Speaker 1: It's gorgeous. I'm gonna listen to this well, I write
Speaker 1: this is great.
Speaker 4: Key, but now I feel like I do it with
Speaker 4: anything narrative like that that it's just like force yourself
Speaker 4: to do a shitty outline, even if you're like, this sucks,
Speaker 4: it's so bad, just like getting.
Speaker 1: So hard for me to sit in my house.
Speaker 4: But that's what me too. That's why I have to
Speaker 4: have a partner because then it like, one, you're sort
Speaker 4: of obligated because it's like, okay, we said we meet,
Speaker 4: we gotta work on this, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like it's we gotta do it. And then two, if
Speaker 4: you're having moments where you're like I don't know what's
Speaker 4: going on, you can either talk it out or the
Speaker 4: other person's like, let me try something, and then maybe
Speaker 4: you at least get something down and you talk about it.
Speaker 1: Josh, you are doing the Lord's work today. You are
Speaker 1: on fire right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if the listeners are getting
Speaker 2: anything out of this, but we are sitting routten.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, oh my god, outline.
Speaker 4: But I know that's I think that's like actually sort
Speaker 4: of basic bitch advice. But because we're all just like
Speaker 4: comedy trolls, like you know, slinging jokes and basements sometimes
Speaker 4: until you don't really know how that shit works until
Speaker 4: you like are forced to do it. And then you're like, oh, wait, well.
Speaker 3: But this is this could be useful just in general,
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, just making sure that one if you
Speaker 3: meet up with someone and stick to the okay, this
Speaker 3: is the reason why we met up, and then it
Speaker 3: takes you to another level where oh, we do have
Speaker 3: the follow through, we will finish this.
Speaker 4: And then after that most of the rest of it
Speaker 4: was like stuff we wrote on spec like wrote for
Speaker 4: free because we were like, this is funny, this will
Speaker 4: be good, and then you spend like months doing it
Speaker 4: for free, but then like selling it on the back end,
Speaker 4: you know, so you get paid later. I mean, I
Speaker 4: hope at one point my career changes and people will
Speaker 4: say pay me up front.
Speaker 1: But at least like you doing really well for it.
Speaker 4: But also I had to tutor something like I used
Speaker 4: to tutor rich kids. You know what s a prep?
Speaker 1: You're going to say English, so you a smarty pain on.
Speaker 4: So I sort of feel like I backastont of that too,
Speaker 4: because when I first moved to New York, I taught
Speaker 4: special ed for a little while. So I have a
Speaker 4: master's in that, okay, a master in the city to teach.
Speaker 1: Well, and because I was pitching sessions the.
Speaker 4: New York City, Sydney trying to get a tutor. Oh,
Speaker 4: it's gross. It depends. It really would swing depending on
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't do it because I worked through
Speaker 4: this agent. I'll tell you offline. I'm embarrassed to say
Speaker 4: it on air because it was too much. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: I don't wanna.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't think I got it?
Speaker 4: No, no, not even I'm honestly the way I got it, honey,
Speaker 4: the way our biz works. I'm sort of like, there's
Speaker 4: a good chance I'll have to tutor again one day,
Speaker 4: you know, like you, it's you who knows. Since I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk to these people, I might
Speaker 4: need work for them.
Speaker 1: I love that. Meanwhile, back of the ranch, name and names, do.
Speaker 4: You still have side hustles to make money or you're
Speaker 4: making it mostly from comedy. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: have it. I mean you're doing it Comedy Central now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean side hustle.
Speaker 3: I feel like, I mean, everything we stand up is
Speaker 3: a side Like any little gig that you do. You're like,
Speaker 3: I'm making money, but not really, this is not what
Speaker 3: I really want to do. No, I feel and this
Speaker 3: is they're gonna put this on the internet. You're like,
Speaker 3: this is not good, but I need that money.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know what on your opening things something
Speaker 4: I thought I wonder if you sort of like you're
Speaker 4: like I don't give a fuck attitude will have benefited
Speaker 4: you that you went so far. It'll swing around the
Speaker 4: other way and they'll be like, actually, we can't air this,
Speaker 4: do you know what I mean? Sometimes when you like
Speaker 4: are when you're like, this gig sucks, so like who
Speaker 4: gives a fuck? Then actual they walk it back, walk
Speaker 4: chip back and they're like, actually, this is bad and
Speaker 4: they don't put it out. That can happen as long as.
Speaker 1: They send me my money. I'm fine, Honestly, I doubt it.
Speaker 1: I mean we've done things.
Speaker 3: Oh I did I send you the clip of that
Speaker 3: thing that we did that our makeup was bad and
Speaker 3: they had like the pink background. No, oh, I haven't.
Speaker 3: We are so funny. We look not good, but I'll
Speaker 3: send it to you. But like we never saw it,
Speaker 3: and they did airic but we never knew that it
Speaker 3: was aired.
Speaker 4: But you are right that you sometimes have to just
Speaker 4: like let go on like god and be like he.
Speaker 1: Like I got bills to pay. You know what?
Speaker 2: I mean, I needed to buy a new couch. It's like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just do it because a lot of these
Speaker 2: things are stupid. But the pay is also ridiculous, Like
Speaker 2: you're like, you're paying me how much to do this?
Speaker 1: All right, I guess I'll take this money, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be complaining the whole time. I'm on sound time problematic.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, wait, how much are they paying me?
Speaker 2: Because it's like corporate stuff or it's just like a
Speaker 2: lot of like branded like Instagram social media things like
Speaker 2: those things pay pretty well, but it's also like the
Speaker 2: work is stupid, Like it doesn't.
Speaker 4: I don't have that ustle really, but it does feel
Speaker 4: like you can make I.
Speaker 3: Feel like I'm like selling my soul because I like,
Speaker 3: I literally am not connected to this at all.
Speaker 1: I feel nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do this, but like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: take I'll take that money. But then I'm there and
Speaker 3: I'm like, when this comes out, do I even want
Speaker 3: to repost this?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What depends on what your contract says.
Speaker 2: One is contractually, if the contract says you out posts
Speaker 2: and then get paid, then you're gonna put that post.
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't say that. I'm not almost saying
Speaker 1: I'm send my invoice and be like, hey, following up
Speaker 1: on this, you to.
Speaker 4: Do it, you ain't got to do yours mees.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, wait, so let's go back to splurging. Now.
Speaker 2: You said you said that you've been to like three
Speaker 2: hundred concerts.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was so this the impetus was when
Speaker 4: we were thinking about it, I was like, maybe we'll
Speaker 4: talk about that because I realized when I was in
Speaker 4: high school and just like in a little podunk town,
Speaker 4: you know, closet, when I started to like get into music,
Speaker 4: I would love to go see concerts. And you know
Speaker 4: how when you're like thirteen or fourteen and that, like
Speaker 4: you're like trying on identities. Basically, I felt like for
Speaker 4: a little while, I was like, oh maybe this is
Speaker 4: like what makes me cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, so who have you seen? Life?
Speaker 4: I should have got the list. So then at the
Speaker 4: point I started making a list and then for some reason,
Speaker 4: I've just kept it since then.
Speaker 1: Okay, but you didn't there's so much stuff.
Speaker 4: No, well, I have it on my phone. Should I
Speaker 4: get it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I love when people are prepared for the pod prepared
Speaker 3: for anything.
Speaker 1: Prepared for the pod.
Speaker 3: It's gorgeous. And you know, concerts are so much money.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not really a big concert person because I don't
Speaker 2: like big crowds of people.
Speaker 1: I don't want to stand.
Speaker 4: I'm going to go back and cause I bet I've
Speaker 4: forgotten a bunch of them. I'm going to go. And
Speaker 4: I'm also sure there's stuff I haven't.
Speaker 1: I feel like you've seen like Avril Levine live.
Speaker 4: You know I didn't see, but I'm going back to
Speaker 4: the ogs.
Speaker 1: Did you give?
Speaker 4: Matthew's band is definitely there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: I so do you know? In high school and college
Speaker 4: I was obsessed with the jam band Fish. I've seen
Speaker 4: them like twenty something single Fish. Oh it's white person
Speaker 4: nonsense and yeah you get stoned and have a good time,
Speaker 4: but listed off. Oh any r D I saw that.
Speaker 4: I don't even remember this, but I mean, like this
Speaker 4: is on the list.
Speaker 1: She was on drugs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe what's a good concert drug while you're going
Speaker 2: to your.
Speaker 4: Really everything's contextual really because it's like depends on the music. Okay,
Speaker 4: like if you're listening to dance music, if you're the club,
Speaker 4: yeah exactly. But if a lot of times you're getting
Speaker 4: a little high as sort of my thing poppers oh
Speaker 4: or that, but that's not I feel like a fast Yeah.
Speaker 4: Although I went with some of the girls to Robin
Speaker 4: and we did a lot of.
Speaker 1: Poppers, oh Robin when she was in Medison Square Garden.
Speaker 4: When she was at Barclays, like the next time around,
Speaker 4: someone had brought them and decided sort of set a
Speaker 4: rule that was just like only if it's like really
Speaker 4: feels like it's a popper's anthem. But then the sort
Speaker 4: of community had decided that every song was every time
Speaker 4: you know it meets them hurd all and then you.
Speaker 1: Know, and how do you feel when you're on the poppers?
Speaker 4: You've done them? Right? No, Oh, it's just like a
Speaker 4: head rush. It's better for sex than it is for
Speaker 4: anything else. But it's just like a don't we know it.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like a head rush, but you're right,
Speaker 4: it goes away in like a minute, right.
Speaker 2: It's like couples, you're like, okay, I mean I'd rather
Speaker 2: be high or on molly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's so much like like I have a thing
Speaker 4: from I guess this was college where I saw Chick Korea.
Speaker 4: The concert Jazz pianists, and then The Roots on back
Speaker 4: to back nights. Oh what was that?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Chick Korea with Gary Burton playing vibes. Chick Korea is
Speaker 4: one of them. Then the Roots, well it's well known
Speaker 4: jazz pianists of the seventies. And the next night I
Speaker 4: saw the Roots.
Speaker 2: Honey, you're versus ten and you're seeing Jill Scott. How
Speaker 2: many times have you seen Beyonce?
Speaker 4: Or has seen Beyonce? Four times?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, can you give us like wait.
Speaker 4: So you guys have never seen any concerts? Like who
Speaker 4: you have to have seen someone?
Speaker 1: Like not really like nobody, like nob Oakville River.
Speaker 4: Like who the hell is that? I don't even remember
Speaker 4: this band? But this is from like twelve years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really going I'll be out at an event,
Speaker 2: like maybe if I'm like at the park or something,
Speaker 2: and they do like those free like park concerts, But
Speaker 2: I'm not really I'm afraid that I'm somethings gonna happen
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna get trampled.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think it's I've seen the Lion King.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Fossa Yeah, I'm not stampede. No, I
Speaker 4: think I actually sort of like music more than comedy,
Speaker 4: do you know what I mean? I think if I
Speaker 4: cared less about music, I would want to do that.
Speaker 4: I think I think it's so cool that I have
Speaker 4: never even tried to really legitimately do it. Comedy feels
Speaker 4: like I care a little less and so you can
Speaker 4: be like, yeah, I can do this, Yeah, but then
Speaker 4: I live like That's why I like to see shows.
Speaker 4: I think it's fun.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Ariana?
Speaker 4: I have seen Ariana does she does?
Speaker 1: She give a good show.
Speaker 4: She gives a pretty good show. I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: her attitude is sort of like she only cares so much.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm I'm not.
Speaker 2: Wearing pants thy high boots in this long sweater.
Speaker 4: And she can take the notes. Well, yeah, she can
Speaker 4: hit the notes. And that's what it's known for. Oh
Speaker 4: I saw John Legend. See like I forgot I saw
Speaker 4: John Legend. Some of these were from so long ago,
Speaker 4: we just stood. Oh this was a good month. I
Speaker 4: saw Erica and John Legend and Sharon Jones, I got
Speaker 4: and Raphael Sadik all in the same month. That's a
Speaker 4: lot of people. Well you also fish twice in the middle.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you just gotta gotta bookt it bookend. It
Speaker 2: was miss got okay.
Speaker 3: But what I did, I went to I saw Lauren
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: How late was she?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she was last.
Speaker 3: An hour and twenty minutes. This is when she first
Speaker 3: came back. She was an hour and twenty minutes. And
Speaker 3: then she went off on the crowd and she was.
Speaker 1: Like, I gave up. I gave up my youth for y'all.
Speaker 3: I had things that were going on today and that's
Speaker 3: why I couldn't be here like you could wait.
Speaker 1: Like that's what she was.
Speaker 2: That's me as an artistan. Yeah, I gave y'all my
Speaker 2: good years and they're like, wow, old are you?
Speaker 1: Who are you again? Sir? Everything gave me.
Speaker 4: I think it got lost in the mail. I never
Speaker 4: got those good years.
Speaker 1: She gave away with her. Other option was she was
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing sister sequels. I don't know, but she was.
Speaker 3: It was aggressive, and then she didn't do the songs
Speaker 3: like that how they're played it.
Speaker 4: Oh, they're all like double times version, the opposite sort of.
Speaker 4: It's it's like there's too many musicians on stage.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: The maggot hard sitting there listening to a song. You're like,
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, and she's just like
Speaker 4: everything is everything, Like, oh, that's a song seeks in hilario, like, oh,
Speaker 4: I guess it was that, but it doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: I saw her at Jones Beach and it was her
Speaker 4: openers were m I A who is great?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
Speaker 4: And Bust rhymes and Bust had at the time gave
Speaker 4: this full monologue about how he had nearly died.
Speaker 1: Okay, well he got diabetes. I don't know was the
Speaker 1: moth story.
Speaker 4: That's what I wondered. And you're a there's like twelve
Speaker 4: thousand people in front of the ocean and he's here like.
Speaker 2: And he's like, well, you know, I had to give
Speaker 2: all the glory to God because uh, you know, I
Speaker 2: almost didn't make it to the beach today because I
Speaker 2: could have missed my train.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So of all the people, of all the
Speaker 2: contract that you've been to that you remember, do you
Speaker 2: can you remember who was like who made you wait
Speaker 2: the longest?
Speaker 4: Who made you wait along?
Speaker 1: Right? Because it's like Lauren Hill an hour in twenties
Speaker 1: feels like stand up for her. I feel like nobody
Speaker 1: else's Kanye.
Speaker 4: It was real late when I saw him.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how long you had to wait?
Speaker 4: But it wasn't that one because it was also like
Speaker 4: a festival show, so it's like you can't be but
Speaker 4: so late. But it was like it was like one
Speaker 4: of those things where it was like an hour late,
Speaker 4: but a thing where it's like no this people start
Speaker 4: on time, you know, it's like there's a band after
Speaker 4: you, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: I went to Governor's Ball and that'sa on nas and
Speaker 1: that was cool. Okay, that was fun.
Speaker 4: But like, weirdly, a lot of these concerts sort of
Speaker 4: generally start on time. Like I've waited longer for drag
Speaker 4: queens than I have for fucking fleets.
Speaker 1: They got things to strap them onto their bodies.
Speaker 4: Like I've done a lot of drag queens where it's
Speaker 4: like eleven pm means two am, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh, thanks to do It's like, no, I got no
Speaker 1: time for that.
Speaker 4: You're coming at twelve fifteen.
Speaker 2: Apparently Beyonce starts her shows on time, so if be
Speaker 2: have to get the old time you as a direct
Speaker 2: queen trying to be Beyonce, it could also be a
Speaker 2: time right, but also maybe.
Speaker 1: Not be on time because it is hard to be Beyonce.
Speaker 4: Have we seen Beyonce though live? No?
Speaker 2: No, but I want to because I feel like she's,
Speaker 2: you know, the entertainer of our lifetime.
Speaker 1: She is. Yeah, now that Michael Jackson's going.
Speaker 3: But once you put out, you know, the Coachella thing
Speaker 3: on Netflix and we get to see.
Speaker 4: But it's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seeing it live, I feel like it's a completely
Speaker 1: different It's the thing.
Speaker 4: I mean, I did a bit. I think it's too yeah,
Speaker 4: but about like it is that thing where she has
Speaker 4: that quality that I think only he had, where it's
Speaker 4: like as soon as you just are there, like as
Speaker 4: soon as you show up, it's like nine minutes of
Speaker 4: screen and you and her only option is sort of
Speaker 4: to wait it out.
Speaker 2: Well, Michael Jackson, you can't. Michael Jackson will get on stage.
Speaker 2: There's a video of like a concert of his on YouTube.
Speaker 2: The first fifteen minutes can't even start.
Speaker 4: I talk about that that ya, truly, this is not
Speaker 4: a lot. He's in Buda, Peste and fucking Romania, just
Speaker 4: standing there, Yes, just standing there and a woman faints.
Speaker 4: You like see him before he said he hasn't done anything.
Speaker 4: The first thing he doesn't like bump with his head,
Speaker 4: like from there to there, and people are like, and
Speaker 4: then a woman faints and they put her in a
Speaker 4: wheelbarrow and take her away.
Speaker 1: That's how I want to do.
Speaker 2: That's how I don't want to be that famous. I
Speaker 2: don't want like I want to be able to like
Speaker 2: like not Beyonce famous.
Speaker 1: Solange. She could jump on the train if she wanted to.
Speaker 4: Solange can in the right way.
Speaker 3: Yeah wait, you said Solange could take the train if
Speaker 3: she definitely.
Speaker 2: A million percent fiance can't walk down the street without
Speaker 2: people not screaming, and like, Solange.
Speaker 4: Can choose if she wants to get recognized. You know
Speaker 4: what I mean. I feel like I Solange is like,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look like Solange. Then she goes out of
Speaker 4: the house and people are gonna know her. But if
Speaker 4: she could put on a certain knit cap, you probably
Speaker 4: wouldn't She just when she lived in New York, she
Speaker 4: was any knit cap because.
Speaker 2: She always has that bodyguard with her, and everyone knows
Speaker 2: Beyonce's bodyguard.
Speaker 1: That's how famous she is.
Speaker 4: Lunch goes like to the clubs and to the parties, and.
Speaker 1: She rides bikes in the street.
Speaker 2: She'd be at like the second line in New Orleans,
Speaker 2: just like hanging out and eating wings and people be like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Beyonce stationary bikes and penthouse was only Beyonce Peloton.
Speaker 1: She's not on the street with us.
Speaker 2: People would be like on the people would be hacking
Speaker 2: city bikes to follow Beyonce.
Speaker 1: Remember did she take the train? She was on the train.
Speaker 1: Jay Z has been on the train.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was like something. They probably shut down
Speaker 4: the r and let her.
Speaker 2: You know, they took the train to Barclay Center or something,
Speaker 2: but that cameras.
Speaker 4: I probably bought a new train and put it on
Speaker 4: our tracks.
Speaker 2: They made a b train for Beyonce, right, Like that's yeah,
Speaker 2: so lunch famousous.
Speaker 4: You're You're right? What you want to be? Full icon famous?
Speaker 4: You want to be Beyonce can't leave the house famous?
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't want to know. I already can't
Speaker 1: leave the house and people don't know who I am.
Speaker 4: I sort of don't want to be very famous at all.
Speaker 4: Like the idea, yes, the idea, but I feel like
Speaker 4: selling scripts is sort of being CIA or It's like
Speaker 4: I just sit behind here and write my ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I want to be able to do things and and
Speaker 3: then when you get to that level, it's just like
Speaker 3: you can't be yourself that Like people were like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Look up to you the bitch.
Speaker 4: Yeah a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3: I should just like you stop it, like I might
Speaker 3: just have I might have less, you know, Buffalo wild
Speaker 3: wings up and through me.
Speaker 1: Shut.
Speaker 4: Now you know why Cia has done it right. Actually,
Speaker 4: in addition to like wearing a big wig and you
Speaker 4: don't know what she looks like, she also has mostly
Speaker 4: made her career as a songwriter, you know that. So
Speaker 4: she's got coin coming in. She doesn't even have to
Speaker 4: perform unless she sort of wants to. And when she does,
Speaker 4: she's like, and you don't get to see me.
Speaker 1: She's like Shendy Leah. She got that. Cia didn't want
Speaker 1: to be famous, but she made that little girl that
Speaker 1: was in all her videos famous. Yes, she's passing the torch. Hun, Well,
Speaker 1: it's not the girls not writing music, she just dancing.
Speaker 4: Sea has a Christmas some people don't know about. That's
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 1: Oh somebody was telling me about it the other day.
Speaker 1: Is it really good?
Speaker 4: If no, people don't don't, I mean it's sort of
Speaker 4: maybe camp good.
Speaker 1: She wants for Christmas is she.
Speaker 4: Has a song called puppies are forever on it. I
Speaker 4: don't even know what the connection to Christmas is, but
Speaker 4: it's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's listening to it somewhere and see.
Speaker 2: It was just in like Walmart or Walgreens or something,
Speaker 2: paying for people's groceries or something. Yeah, she just showed
Speaker 2: up with like a top knot and just started buying
Speaker 2: people's stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, how much does she drop? I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was like Walmart. I don't think the person knew
Speaker 1: that that was either.
Speaker 2: It was just like rich britches going on. She was
Speaker 2: paying for more than one person's.
Speaker 4: Step, Yes she was, but yeah, you know that's if
Speaker 4: you're gonna do that, you got to pick again.
Speaker 3: Well, I want to be that rich. I want to
Speaker 3: I want to help out, I want to give away.
Speaker 3: I want to do a stunt, you know. I want
Speaker 3: to come there act like I'm going to go buy
Speaker 3: my album and then be like, oh you want that big.
Speaker 1: Buying backpacks for everybody.
Speaker 4: That would be fun. Be rich enough that you can
Speaker 4: be in the bar and buy around for everyone something.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Shaye does that all the time. Does that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: He does it a lot for the whole bar, not
Speaker 4: even just for all of his friends there.
Speaker 1: Well you have to bar be his friends, right, bring
Speaker 1: his whole crew.
Speaker 3: But remember when Lady Gaga in her documentary, she was
Speaker 3: just at Target or Kmart buying her album.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 1: It was just like so staged and sad.
Speaker 3: She was in like boy shorts and like a hat.
Speaker 2: Because Goga is also somebody that if she doesn't want
Speaker 2: to be recognized, she could throw a hat on like
Speaker 2: she's had.
Speaker 1: So like, what does her hair actually look like?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Put a hat on some regular clothes and people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: you kind of resemble Gaga, But she's always in a look,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So even if we.
Speaker 2: Can't see her face or her hair, you see, oh
Speaker 2: she got on meat booty shorts.
Speaker 1: That's lady.
Speaker 4: So case in point. I went to a concert this
Speaker 4: summer and in attendance was Byork. And this is right
Speaker 4: before we went to Mexico. What does Byork look like?
Speaker 4: So Bork looks like Bork. She went to a concert
Speaker 4: and she had a full she had this velvet dress
Speaker 4: and this full floral mesh mask over her face. Okay,
Speaker 4: to watch a concert in the dark, do you know
Speaker 4: what I mean where I was like, oh, you never
Speaker 4: don't look like York. Okay, something you definitely could go unnoticed.
Speaker 4: But you were like, I.
Speaker 1: Think I'm gonna do mesh masks in the New Year.
Speaker 4: It like went out on either side with these wings,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So it was like, Okay, I had like endangered butterfly
Speaker 2: wings on it.
Speaker 4: But you've seen some of York's looks, right, you know
Speaker 4: she's a look queen.
Speaker 3: Okay, most expensive concert you've been to that you paid.
Speaker 4: For it probably Beyonce. I spent like two hundred and
Speaker 4: something on Beyonce, but you.
Speaker 1: Spent one or forty on Jill Scott. Bad seats, but
Speaker 1: you spent I know. But they also kind of doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense.
Speaker 4: I actually think next time I go to Beyonce, I
Speaker 4: should like actually drop dollar and get the good ones
Speaker 4: because those are like five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: But I know it's you want her to sweat on
Speaker 1: you a little bit exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you're eating deer meat for five hundred dollars
Speaker 3: to see the queen.
Speaker 4: No, I think you're right, You've you've sort of pointed
Speaker 4: out honestly, sometimes it's the company you keep it's like
Speaker 4: who you're going with and how much do they want
Speaker 4: to spend? And maybe next time I need to go
Speaker 4: reverse engineer it. Say here's the deal. I am spending
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: This is what we're doing.
Speaker 4: This is the entry point. Are you in or aren't you?
Speaker 1: Well, if you really want to go off bottom tickets
Speaker 1: for us, okay, that's a real waste.
Speaker 4: So money, that's real rich when you're picking up everybody's Beyonce.
Speaker 2: To be We'll see, we'll see Kelly rolling with you.
Speaker 4: Wait, wasn't Michelle just on the mask sing?
Speaker 1: I don't even know? Yeah she was what was she was? Butterfly?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: But her little speech after was like they take they
Speaker 4: take the mask off, and she's just like, this experience
Speaker 4: has been incredible. It gave me my confidence back. Well,
Speaker 4: she's been like really dealing with depression.
Speaker 1: She was in and out of having Yeah, her engagement
Speaker 1: just got called off. No I mean white pastor Yeah,
Speaker 1: Michelle r I P. What's she's still alive? I mean,
Speaker 1: but still coming the sentiment what words are you saying? Okay, Josh,
Speaker 1: most expensive meal.
Speaker 4: You've ever had, I think probably that Blue Hill one
Speaker 4: that was like three hundred something because honestly, we also
Speaker 4: got the wine pairing, so it was like four hundred
Speaker 4: and something. Hey, the wine pairing. That was probably the most.
Speaker 4: That was probably the most, but it was like sixteen courses.
Speaker 4: At one point they like took us back in the
Speaker 4: kitchen and fed us tomatoes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it was see that's dumb. Yeah, they were just
Speaker 1: they were like give them everything.
Speaker 4: And it really might have been more. I can't remember.
Speaker 4: It was so many.
Speaker 2: So how long does a sixteen course men, you take
Speaker 2: to eat?
Speaker 4: It was like four hours?
Speaker 1: I think, No, what are y'all smoking? Y'all y'all work
Speaker 1: in a shift?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just drunk.
Speaker 2: We're just four hours. I want I want that. That's
Speaker 2: what I want to try that at least one time.
Speaker 4: Let's but you could do something like it that's like
Speaker 4: a little again, it won't be affordable, but at least
Speaker 4: like is like one hundred and something dollars and seven
Speaker 4: courses and two and a half hours and get.
Speaker 1: Them what's your favorite place?
Speaker 5: One?
Speaker 4: I went with Gary, what's my favorite? I gotta look
Speaker 4: at There's also places that are not that that you
Speaker 4: can just treat it like that. I love to go
Speaker 4: to Servos in the Lower East Side. They don't have
Speaker 4: any Michelin Stars, but you just like loiter and for
Speaker 4: two hours and just order a bunch of shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah heard that.
Speaker 4: That one's cool, but like I want to, you know,
Speaker 4: there's one actually I went with Gary Richardson recently that
Speaker 4: was pretty good. That's in or No. I went with Aaron.
Speaker 4: Gary was supposed to go. That's you know, Roberta's the
Speaker 4: pizza place and Bush. Yeah, they have a Michelin Star
Speaker 4: restaurant in the backyard that they don't tell you. You
Speaker 4: just have to like know. They have like a you

Speaker 4: like what looks to be a garage and then it's
Speaker 4: this like gorgeous open kitchen and you sit around it.
Speaker 4: There's like fourteen stools, they only have like one seating.
Speaker 4: You stay for like three hours and they serve you
Speaker 4: a bunch of shit all night. Oh that it's called bianca,
Speaker 4: I think orblanco. I forget. I'd have to look it
Speaker 4: up put it down. But it's pretty good. But again,
Speaker 4: you spend for Christmas. You've spent one hundred some dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but you know what I think it's You're right, it's
Speaker 4: like it's fake nonsense. But once you've sort of convinced
Speaker 4: yourself something special, it actually becomes special.
Speaker 1: But it is.
Speaker 2: It is kind of special if it's something that you
Speaker 2: don't do often because a lot of people don't know
Speaker 2: about I got to walk through a pizza place, and
Speaker 2: then I got to cross the yard, and then I'm
Speaker 2: in a ship and now we eat and it's only
Speaker 2: fourteen people here.
Speaker 4: Pageantry. It's the experience. It's like a meal you actually
Speaker 4: don't forget.
Speaker 2: Right, Like well, it's like you know, New York has
Speaker 2: like all those like kind of speakeasy bars that are
Speaker 2: like secret, but people know about them.
Speaker 1: Like you got you gotta go through.
Speaker 2: The phone booth at the hot dog place, and then
Speaker 2: you're at a bar that has six you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: Like, sorry, if I played three hundred dollars for dinner,
Speaker 3: I'm going live the whole time.
Speaker 1: All my followers gone become your tag, telling everybody I'm
Speaker 1: going because it's just like people have to people need
Speaker 1: to know.
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of trips that I went to.
Speaker 3: Then I spent a lot of money on I don't
Speaker 3: have enough pictures.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I had a BlackBerry at the time,
Speaker 1: and it's pixelated. Now I can't see that. So I
Speaker 1: feel like.
Speaker 4: If I can't make a technology to like refer to
Speaker 4: pixelate photo. Yeah, they're finding old fucking black and white
Speaker 4: from the twenties and making it look like something. They
Speaker 4: can't take a BlackBerry photo.
Speaker 1: And I've never seen a pixelated photo.
Speaker 2: But Audrey Hepburn somebody the technology is it exists?
Speaker 3: Like, uh, you know the apartment that I used to have,
Speaker 3: you know, I was paying nineteen hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1: For it all none, you know, just flex. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't really have pictures of it.
Speaker 3: I have pictures of it when I was like trying
Speaker 3: to get a roommate and it was like set up
Speaker 3: a certain way, but I don't have pictures.
Speaker 1: Is that. Do we record in your apartment one time?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 1: Have I never been to your house in Harlem?
Speaker 2: Yeah? When we when Zanad was in town. Did we
Speaker 2: record at your old place?
Speaker 1: Oh? We recorded at the ballance there. Yeah, okay, so no,
Speaker 1: I've never even seen Sydney's house. Old house, old house.
Speaker 4: But you're not in this place anymore.
Speaker 1: No, it's gone, they've they sold it in everything.
Speaker 4: But is is the place here now as nice? Or no? Oh?
Speaker 4: She said, said.
Speaker 1: Sir, triggered, You triggered me, triggered. We were all triggered.
Speaker 1: We were all like that felt racist and homophobes. What
Speaker 1: you just said? There? Well, how's your place now? Ah?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 4: We know.
Speaker 1: No he didn't say how is it? He said is
Speaker 1: it as nice? Said? That's trauma right there.
Speaker 4: I accept everything I've done. All I can do is apologize.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you have any tips for people who be
Speaker 3: spurging off food and concerts and trips?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: How do you do it and not feel bad?
Speaker 4: I guess I do think like I'm pretty good. I mean, again,
Speaker 4: this is a waste of money, there's no defense of it.
Speaker 4: But I'm pretty good at budgeting around that stuff that
Speaker 4: like the stuff you actually want to spend money on,
Speaker 4: spend money on, and then find ways to save on everything,
Speaker 4: like I don't take cabs that much, Like you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, like this, but talk about it. I
Speaker 4: mean it's right or wrong. Like everybody has their sort
Speaker 4: of priority, So you got to figure out what, yeah,
Speaker 4: what do you do to live within your means? So
Speaker 4: that then you could be like okay, and every couple
Speaker 4: of months, I want to drop a couple hundred bucks
Speaker 4: on this, or I don't really buy clothes that much.
Speaker 2: No, I but just like truly, everything that you're saying
Speaker 2: is like, my head is.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I think sometimes you spend like a medium
Speaker 4: amount too much on everything, and rather than being like, okay,
Speaker 4: actually keep a few things tight in budget so that
Speaker 4: the things you really love, you're like, I'm dropping dollar
Speaker 4: on that and doing it up.
Speaker 1: Okay, well let us that's sort of where I live.
Speaker 4: Is in that space, rather than just being like sort
Speaker 4: of overspending on everything and then you're like where all
Speaker 4: my money go and I have nothing to show?
Speaker 1: Are you good with saving? Do you have a savings account? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's right. I just wanted to have to have a
Speaker 1: savings You have a savings and a checkings.
Speaker 4: If you're just savings and a checking.
Speaker 1: If you love it, not everybody can say the same.
Speaker 1: If you're just going to New Mexico, that's shod Do.
Speaker 4: You have a savings yes, I've got to check it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But I find when I talk about this with people
Speaker 4: that a lot of that is like how your parents
Speaker 4: raised you I was going to say when my dad
Speaker 4: was so crazy about that, I never remember not having that.
Speaker 2: Like for my birthday, for my birthday, for our birthdays,
Speaker 2: every year, our.
Speaker 1: Parents would give us a fifty dollars bill.
Speaker 2: It's like a big deal, like look out rich I am,
Speaker 2: and they would make me put forty of those dollars
Speaker 2: in the bank.
Speaker 4: Same my grandma would always give you like one hundred
Speaker 4: dollars on your birthday, but it would be two fifties
Speaker 4: and you'd have to go put one in the bank
Speaker 4: and the other you get, you know or whatever.
Speaker 2: But like have had a savings account since, like dime
Speaker 2: saving bank was the thing.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Like that's why sometimes I feel like people who are
Speaker 4: bad with money, I'm like, I don't even know if
Speaker 4: it's your fault. It's just like it's like it's it's
Speaker 4: sometimes it's like were you.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, so whether you were raised this is also true.
Speaker 4: Did you describe yourself as bad with money?
Speaker 1: She don't have. Absolutely. I didn't say it, but I
Speaker 1: started to.
Speaker 4: But sometimes I don't know that this is like one
Speaker 4: hundred percent right, Like I think the idea of budgeting
Speaker 4: is right, you know what? I mean, but it's all. Oh,
Speaker 4: my grandma said something so funny the other day where
Speaker 4: she I mean, she's like eighty eight or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, so she young, so young, Okay.
Speaker 4: I was at dinner with her and my aunt, her daughter,
Speaker 4: and she was and she said, because my aunt is
Speaker 4: a doctor, and she was basically saying, how my grandma
Speaker 4: calls her sometime and asks, you're a doctor, Kelly, do
Speaker 4: you know when will I die? And Kelly was like,
Speaker 4: I don't know that, Elaine, And she was like, well,
Speaker 4: I was just doing my budget the other day and
Speaker 4: I realized it'd be so much easier if I knew
Speaker 4: when I would die. I was like, what an incredible point.
Speaker 4: It is true if you knew when you die, like
Speaker 4: I know exactly how to I'm not.
Speaker 2: Going to save any money for the grandkids, going to
Speaker 2: spend it before I die.
Speaker 4: So my point is I could be wrong because say
Speaker 4: we died tomorrow and then you got a bunch of
Speaker 4: money you didn't spend on shit.
Speaker 1: You know that's true.
Speaker 4: But I do think like thinking about how to allocate
Speaker 4: your money is smart so that you can use what
Speaker 4: you have on what you want. But like, sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 4: who knows.
Speaker 1: That's why I want a will and I want acids.
Speaker 4: So I wrote that. So yeah, so maybe you're not
Speaker 4: wrong to be blowing through cash. If you're blowing through cash, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm trying to celebrate your.
Speaker 1: Courses thanks in your new place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to run out soon, So wait, hold on,
Speaker 3: I had a question trips.
Speaker 1: It's most expensive trip you've been on.

Speaker 4: I was like, when we had the TV gig and
Speaker 4: I had a check coming in, I did, like we
Speaker 4: had a two week break and I did take myself
Speaker 4: alone to like Copenhagen and Berlin and Iceland for two
Speaker 4: weeks and just like doing it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those are expensive places, those are not? Are
Speaker 1: you air being being in those places?
Speaker 4: You don't, That's what I mean. Like, I don't mind
Speaker 4: because I'm going to be like I'm spending a lot
Speaker 4: of money on flights and I want to eat well being,
Speaker 4: Like I don't need to spend four dollars in some hotel.
Speaker 4: I'd yeah, I'd rather have an apartment there so you
