Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, we are back with another episode to hold up.
Speaker 1: I'm your host Josh Johnson, right for The Daily Show
Speaker 1: and joining me as my co host, dul Say Sloan,
Speaker 1: correspondent for The Daily Show. And we're getting right into it.
Speaker 1: You know, I know that there's a lot going on
Speaker 1: the world. I know there's big things, there's wars, there's
Speaker 1: there's market crashes. We're not gonna be talking about any
Speaker 1: of that. We're talking about stuff that probably doesn't even
Speaker 1: matter at all to anybody but us. And we're talking
Speaker 1: about today stay cation versus vacation. Where do you stand?
Speaker 1: Where do you land? What do you want to go on? More?
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna put this on you. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that it seems to me like you are a
Speaker 1: vacation kind of gal. I'm I'm a I'm a stay
Speaker 1: cation dude. I'm a home body. Because for me, this,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw this out there, and this is
Speaker 1: not pointed, but just just you're you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: catch some bass in my voice, all right, You're gonna
Speaker 1: you're gonna catch some tone. Okay. I cannot stand the
Speaker 1: fact that a vacation includes a trip to the airport,
Speaker 1: a trip to a bus station, a trip like I
Speaker 1: like to already be places I don't like to travel.
Speaker 1: People say they like traveling. You like to already be there.
Speaker 1: The airport is a nightmare. Okay, so you want to
Speaker 1: be able to teleport. That's what that sounds like. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm sick of attacks, like the actual social attacks at
Speaker 1: an airport that I have to go through to have
Speaker 1: a vacation. It doesn't make any sense. Do you have
Speaker 1: clear and pre check? I have clear, I have pre checked.
Speaker 1: But you know what, sometimes those clothes I didn't even
Speaker 1: know that was possible. Sometimes nobody close them. Not only
Speaker 1: will they be closed, they won't be open early enough.
Speaker 1: Then customs also closes as if planes don't land daily.
Speaker 1: So it's like you should at least see like when's
Speaker 1: the earliest flight coming in from an international flight? Be open?
Speaker 1: When's the latest flight leaving? Be fucking open? Who invented
Speaker 1: this nonsense? We know who did it, but we won't
Speaker 1: have to talk about them. Um, we know who did this,
Speaker 1: We know who did it. Have you considered taking a
Speaker 1: vacation in a car like try, Well, you don't drive? No, No,
Speaker 1: I can't drive so no, I have not considered taking
Speaker 1: a vacation in a car. That would be a car
Speaker 1: accident almost immediately. Okay, what I think you should try? Oh,
Speaker 1: you can do like the best of both worlds. Like
Speaker 1: you remember whenever it was like I had left the
Speaker 1: city and was like just took over the mountains of me,
Speaker 1: like Upstate New York and all these other places like
Speaker 1: the Poconos, which full disclosure, for most of my life
Speaker 1: I thought was islands. I'm just finding out they're not
Speaker 1: islands right now. See don't they sound like islands? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're fucking mountains. It also sounds like islands. We don't
Speaker 1: fully understand, right, So it's like, oh, we're going to
Speaker 1: the Poconos. So if you say that word to me,
Speaker 1: you're telling me it's a vacation. I'm hearing the word
Speaker 1: Poconos expecting mountains in New York because sounds crazy, Um,
Speaker 1: just landlocked just higher altitudes sounds nuts. Have you considered,
Speaker 1: cause then you can get like the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1: You drive up to a cabin and then you're staying
Speaker 1: in a cabin, so you're getting your staycation, but you're
Speaker 1: just not at your house. No, because at my home.
Speaker 1: I know where everything is. This cabin, this, this cabin.
Speaker 1: You know, how do we know there's not murders? How
Speaker 1: do we know there's not somebody waiting? The cabin is
Speaker 1: where the stuff happens from the movie. You're right, That's
Speaker 1: why I don't like going up there. I'll say, for me,
Speaker 1: it depends. But I think because we have been in
Speaker 1: a panorama, a Panasonic, a Pondule's day, a Popeye's for
Speaker 1: the past two years. My desire because like I'm a
Speaker 1: beach person, right because like my family is from Miami.
Speaker 1: I was born there at least lived there. So like,
Speaker 1: for me, vacation means beach period. Don't look at me
Speaker 1: and go like, oh, we're going to like somewhere. There's
Speaker 1: not to be any geographical place. Is not a beach
Speaker 1: for vacation. I'm gonna look at you like your next
Speaker 1: you don't want to go to Montana? You don't want to?
Speaker 1: I mean, because here's the thing. Look like. The other
Speaker 1: thing about vacations that I can't stand is that there's
Speaker 1: a pressure to like have fun and do activities and
Speaker 1: and and like really be out there whereas a staycation.
Speaker 1: Now it's all up to you, do you want Netflix?
Speaker 1: Do you want to just relax? You want sleep? That's
Speaker 1: all happening. It's happening at home. I have been on
Speaker 1: vacation with people and it's been chilly ship and we're
Speaker 1: doing whatever, we're doing whatever we do it, and then
Speaker 1: there's other people that want to give you like a
Speaker 1: full itinerary and itemize and I'm like, this is not
Speaker 1: relaxing because I don't this in my life. So it's
Speaker 1: like also, like you'll go on vacation with people and
Speaker 1: they don't want to spend money on food. Wait what
Speaker 1: It's like I've thrown on vacations with people and it's like,
Speaker 1: well I don't want to spend a bunch of money
Speaker 1: on food, and you're like, bitch, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna make it. It's like, well, we can
Speaker 1: just get mad that I am not eating anywhere where
Speaker 1: I can eat where I live. Do you want to
Speaker 1: know what that is? Though? That's a staycation person going
Speaker 1: on a vacation. So there's a broke person going on vacation.
Speaker 1: Because a broke person going on vacation, you should have
Speaker 1: stay at home. Should stay at home. It's like I
Speaker 1: like I now like when I go on vacation, I
Speaker 1: want of like a hotel room that haves like even
Speaker 1: as a kitchen net or something, right, because like you
Speaker 1: want to be able to have like little snack ease,
Speaker 1: and so you have a place that has like a
Speaker 1: little kitchen area so you can keep cold cut cold. Okay,
Speaker 1: keeps cold cut cold. Nobody's eating hot cold cuts. That's
Speaker 1: a get sick. Um. You get some nice fruits, you
Speaker 1: bring you some watermelon, nice little treats, get you some
Speaker 1: cold drinks, and then you have a nice thing on
Speaker 1: the beach. You are not about this, no, because you
Speaker 1: know what you're describing. It is home. No, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's that's home to me. I already got the cold cuts,
Speaker 1: already got them cold not warm, already got the fruits
Speaker 1: in the veggies. I'm doing all of my my my
Speaker 1: things at home. And this is the other thing about
Speaker 1: vacations is that people always end up doing my stuff
Speaker 1: out there. So then be to watch Netflix, to watch
Speaker 1: Columbia Netflix. I got my American Netflix listen once. It's
Speaker 1: like because like when I went to Turks and Cakeos,
Speaker 1: like a lot of those resort places people have been
Speaker 1: at the beach all day long, they're probably gonna be exhausted.
Speaker 1: So like some places don't like so it didn't have
Speaker 1: like a lot of like a lot of nightlife because
Speaker 1: like a family place, like I to meet people that
Speaker 1: lived there. Remember I told you one on the date
Speaker 1: that was just ended up being a family outing. Um
Speaker 1: yeah right, just wow tho for the listeners. Um, I
Speaker 1: went on a boat tour, was hanging out with like
Speaker 1: twine middle aged white people from New Jersey because they
Speaker 1: were also on the boat. We had a great time. Uh.
Speaker 1: But one of the guys that was working on the boat,
Speaker 1: I think it was like this. He wasn't the captain.
Speaker 1: Captain was married, because I would have gone from the captains,
Speaker 1: but because you know, you gotta go for the nick
Speaker 1: in charge, why would I go for the assistant. That
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, So but he was a nice man. We
Speaker 1: hung out. He's like, okay, I want to take you
Speaker 1: out and I was like sure. He's like, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: this bar we all go to. I said, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to do some stuff where which
Speaker 1: is just like being on the resort all day. So
Speaker 1: he comes and picks me up, and when I see him.
Speaker 1: He's there's a older woman in the front seat drinking
Speaker 1: a corona and I was like, oh my, gonna get
Speaker 1: a kidnap. This is annoying. But I had met some
Speaker 1: girls from Atlanta. Um, you know, we don't play that game.
Speaker 1: So they took pictures of him when he wasn't looking,
Speaker 1: and then they took pictures of the car and the
Speaker 1: girl one of the girls was like, she's like, you're
Speaker 1: coming back, and I was like, thank you so much. Um, look,
Speaker 1: once again, these are vacation things. I don't have to
Speaker 1: take pictures of anything anybody. But I used to do
Speaker 1: this in college, like when like the younger girls would
Speaker 1: have a guy like come and pick them up. Like
Speaker 1: where'd you meet him? Oh, we were met in something
Speaker 1: like this is like early two thousands. They might have
Speaker 1: met like something like black player at the college clubs
Speaker 1: and stupid like that. So if none of our friends
Speaker 1: knew who he was, we took a picture of him,
Speaker 1: took a picture of the license plate. He's like, wow,
Speaker 1: why would yall do this. I'm like, because she's coming back.
Speaker 1: That's why I had no casualties in here. And some
Speaker 1: of them would get so spooked. One dude just left
Speaker 1: the girl. He was like, I don't want to deal
Speaker 1: with this, and I was like, see you would ended
Speaker 1: up on the news. You're welcome, but I mean I
Speaker 1: mean maybe yeah, yeah, that made the seams. Why are
Speaker 1: you so upset? Why are you so bothered by this? Right?
Speaker 1: So I go, I go hang so like it's it's
Speaker 1: it's his auntie in the car and then his cousins
Speaker 1: in the back seat. And then come to find out
Speaker 1: later the reason all of the untie and the cousin
Speaker 1: we're in the car because it was the aunties car, right,
Speaker 1: So these but I still had a fun time. I
Speaker 1: had an experience. He tried to calm me and starting
Speaker 1: a jet skiing business. I was like, absolutely not. I
Speaker 1: don't know your last name. But it was a nice man, goad.
Speaker 1: I didn't give him the cookies because he was poor.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is you go on vacations. I
Speaker 1: have adventurous right. But the other girls I was hanging
Speaker 1: out with, they stayed at the resort the entire time
Speaker 1: because it's an all inclusive resort. And when the girls
Speaker 1: was like, She's like, I get my money's worth. I'm
Speaker 1: drinking everything, I'm eating all of the food. I am
Speaker 1: not leaving this resort because I paid the money. Me.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I was just like, I've been
Speaker 1: on this resort for three I had because I got
Speaker 1: I was there from a Wednesday to a Thunday. Yeah. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: maybe I just haven't been to as many places as you,
Speaker 1: so then maybe that's part of what's happening. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you right now, there are adventurers at home. They're
Speaker 1: adventures that you can have that you would have never
Speaker 1: One time I lost my remote and I genuinely I
Speaker 1: couldn't find it. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I
Speaker 1: looked up and down, I was tossing cushions, I was
Speaker 1: everything right, And eventually I just started walking up to
Speaker 1: the TV every time that had changed the channel right.
Speaker 1: And then one day in my staycation, three day staycation,
Speaker 1: then on the third day, I opened one of the
Speaker 1: drawers in my kitchen boom remote right there all right Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it got there. Now I got
Speaker 1: an adventure and a mystery. I even have to leave home.
Speaker 1: That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Also, you must
Speaker 1: have had able because you can't change the stream of
Speaker 1: service without it control. I don't know why my thing
Speaker 1: is sad and your thing is normal? All right, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know why that happened at all. Listen.
Speaker 1: I went on an adventure with strangers, Okay. I found
Speaker 1: out that about the little dogs that have on the island.
Speaker 1: I saw all the all the islands. I was parasailing. Okay.
Speaker 1: I found out that I could not ride a horse
Speaker 1: on the beach because as a weight limit on these horses.
Speaker 1: And now I have a joke about it because I
Speaker 1: was like, where did you get these weak ass horses from? You?
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, Like horses used to be able
Speaker 1: to put armor on people, and then armor on horses,
Speaker 1: and then we go to war. So I'm like, where
Speaker 1: did you get these horses from? Look, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: right now. I also have had some riveting staycations. One
Speaker 1: time I had a dream about a turtle and it
Speaker 1: was whild woke up sweating everything. How do I hang up?
Speaker 1: How do I hang up? How do I what? Why
Speaker 1: would you help? Why would you? Why would you hang up?
Speaker 1: I'm making good points. I would to hang up. You
Speaker 1: cannot tell me about a dream about a turtle and
Speaker 1: compare that to me and another girl swag surfing in
Speaker 1: the sky. It doesn't work that way. Now it worked
Speaker 1: that way from me, I had power absolutely not listen.
Speaker 1: This money you can't take it with you. Okay, first
Speaker 1: and foremost, I can't take this money with you. You
Speaker 1: work hard, you might as well spend it. This is
Speaker 1: the thing about vacation though. It's like sometimes it's like
Speaker 1: like vacations come to an end, so stay even like
Speaker 1: cations come to in end because you have to take
Speaker 1: ass back to work. Right. So that's the hardest part
Speaker 1: of either being on a vacation or a staycation. You
Speaker 1: know you have to now go back. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: you're a stay cation and you just wake up. I
Speaker 1: guess boom, thank you. That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1: What I was going to say, Wow, exactly what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say. Could you just go to work? Like
Speaker 1: that's it? You just go every weekend stressing, stressing and
Speaker 1: flights you know, Oh, how do I get back? I
Speaker 1: get back on the train, sir, excuse me? Why blow
Speaker 1: my dolls? I did not expect this to happen. While
Speaker 1: we were recorded, I think about all the places that
Speaker 1: I wanted to go as like a kid, like recently,
Speaker 1: I wait, didn't you go to Hawaii with your mom?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm for them? That wasn't for me. That that's
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give my mom and my aunt a
Speaker 1: better life, so that that's just something that I thought
Speaker 1: that they would enjoy. I on the other hand, I
Speaker 1: could have stayed home. I could have watched all the
Speaker 1: ne I was binging at the time, so that I
Speaker 1: had to quit binging and then and then get on
Speaker 1: a plane and watch it on a plane on a
Speaker 1: tiny screen. Then I had to get to Hawaii, which
Speaker 1: is beautiful. Don't get me wrong. It's beautiful. There's beaches,
Speaker 1: there's like, you know, scantily clad people, and there's their
Speaker 1: son and all the stuff. And some body who doesn't
Speaker 1: like the beach, Like you make me think you're someone
Speaker 1: who doesn't like the beach. It's just itchy dirt. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just when you have you heard Ja Jordan's
Speaker 1: joke h where he says, uh, sand is just gay dirt,
Speaker 1: heard im saying he said it out. He's so funny.
Speaker 1: I have to look him up. But it's like, I
Speaker 1: went to Hawaii back in March, because like we had
Speaker 1: some um. We had some off time from the show,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to go, but I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know anybody in Hawaii. I don't I want to go.
Speaker 1: I want to go just because it's like I grew
Speaker 1: up in the nineties. They sent everybody on every TV
Speaker 1: show to Hawaii, so it's been like propped up to
Speaker 1: us for generations. And I was like, I want to go,
Speaker 1: but I want to go by myself about because I
Speaker 1: definitely want the turs and Cake goes by myself. But
Speaker 1: I was like, there's black people here, I'll be fine,
Speaker 1: but Hawaii, I don't know the cats. And his way
Speaker 1: on the other side of the planet is literally right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the specific Pacific Ocean. You have
Speaker 1: no backup. So it's like I don't know body know
Speaker 1: nobody out here. And then my big brother Tom Bell
Speaker 1: an amazing comic uh and stays on the TV show.
Speaker 1: He was doing shows out there, so I was like,
Speaker 1: brother going, I'm gonna go with him. I go out there,
Speaker 1: we have fun, I meet a young man. I come back,
Speaker 1: you know, uh in April um and then I hung
Speaker 1: out with him. But then I got to go like
Speaker 1: to more of the beaches and see you know, he
Speaker 1: took me all around and see the island because we
Speaker 1: were on uh it was Oahu when you went where
Speaker 1: you were? You who are Maui? I was in Maui.
Speaker 1: And I'll say this even you know you mentioned you know,
Speaker 1: the the what what's the best way to put it?
Speaker 1: The brief and exciting romance on a vacation. You know,
Speaker 1: there's something about meaning a person on vacation, and you
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's like new and it's fresh. And
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, I'm gonna have to leave soon,
Speaker 1: So how far it's gonna go. I'm I'm into the
Speaker 1: whole romance novel aspects of romance vacations. But you know
Speaker 1: what a stay cation? Hey, you come back any time,
Speaker 1: all right, You can come back whenever you want, I
Speaker 1: hear you. But for that to work, you already have
Speaker 1: to have somebody on the hook before your staycation starts.
Speaker 1: And also I thought this was gonna be a brief moment.
Speaker 1: And then this man was trying to marry me, um,
Speaker 1: which I did not see coming um. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be like a fun, casual thing,
Speaker 1: trying to make it a stay cation. He was trying
Speaker 1: to make it a steakcake because then if you would
Speaker 1: if he had married you and you had moved. My
Speaker 1: man is doing the same things that I'm talking about doing.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like you meet someone on vacation and
Speaker 1: you make it a stay cation because you fall for him.
Speaker 1: I was not going to move to Oh. I have
Speaker 1: so much work to do. Like you said, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get my mom a better life. I can't do
Speaker 1: that in Hawaiian I can't. I don't know the job
Speaker 1: I supposed to have. I was gonna keep marrying hill
Speaker 1: from working, but it did not exist on that particular island.
Speaker 1: But like, because like I was just in Okay, here's
Speaker 1: the best example of the staycation. I was just in
Speaker 1: London for the past months shooting a TV show m HM.
Speaker 1: So it was a work trip, but I wasn't working
Speaker 1: all the time. And then for me sometimes that I'm
Speaker 1: in a new place, because like I waited to do
Speaker 1: all the touristy tourist the stuff. So my mom came
Speaker 1: the first week, we were like, wait, you were there.
Speaker 1: I was there. I was waiting for you to remember
Speaker 1: that I was also there. But I was waiting for
Speaker 1: you to mention that you were also there. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to interrupt you know, I know that we argue
Speaker 1: all this show, but I won't be rude. Okay, I
Speaker 1: hear it. I get you. Um, But like we were
Speaker 1: there for like I was there for a month, you
Speaker 1: were there for a week, and so they were a
Speaker 1: day as we weren't working. But there were days we
Speaker 1: weren't working. But like I didn't feel like running around London,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there were some days where you didn't
Speaker 1: want running around London. So I didn't feel like running
Speaker 1: around London because I my chest popped off. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: what happened with that? Could you have to get their
Speaker 1: Russian ivy profit? This is this is why staycations are better.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. So I'm in London and
Speaker 1: I'm just doing a regular bench press. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not doing I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to save any lives. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: lift a car off a baby or anything. I'm doing
Speaker 1: a regular bench press that I normally do, and I
Speaker 1: just hear a pop and I feel I feel a tear,
Speaker 1: and I re rack the bar and my arm is
Speaker 1: not co operating, and I'm sitting there swelling like you
Speaker 1: like you saw me. I can't believe I went to
Speaker 1: the museum. You saw me like two hours after it happened.
Speaker 1: And so I don't know what to do because I
Speaker 1: just got this like boulder on the left side of
Speaker 1: my chest. And if I had been home doing a
Speaker 1: stay cation, doing a bench press, I would have known
Speaker 1: what doctor to go to. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: they'll see me because I'm not from here. And apparently
Speaker 1: the health care is free, but is it free for everybody?
Speaker 1: Do they just have like healthcare spilling out the back
Speaker 1: of trucks or do I need to go fill out
Speaker 1: a form? So you know, stay cation is even better
Speaker 1: for getting to hurt. Yeah, I mean one, that's your
Speaker 1: fault for working out while he was on vacation. That's
Speaker 1: on you. I mean, wow, Okay, you wasn't going to
Speaker 1: get out of shape in a week. Yeah, but like
Speaker 1: the shape wasn't gonna change, like you wasn't gonna stop
Speaker 1: being a trappings away when I was going to be
Speaker 1: like a huge I want to be one of those
Speaker 1: big you know what, I'll go on vacation when I'm
Speaker 1: torn and ripped. Like Michael B. Jordan's I want this
Speaker 1: for you. You've been talking about it for years, and
Speaker 1: well you don't have to remind me how long I've
Speaker 1: been trying. I mean, listen, we know that I've been
Speaker 1: trying to do various things with my body and they
Speaker 1: have not been coming to fruition. But it's just like
Speaker 1: I hear you on this because I was really trying
Speaker 1: to figure out because it was like because for my birthday,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm gonna go to l A
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, but then literally this morning,
Speaker 1: I was just like, what if I didn't mm hmm,
Speaker 1: Well if you had a staycation with all the people
Speaker 1: you already know in New York to come through because
Speaker 1: but but I did that. The last two years for
Speaker 1: my birthday was everybody in New York, and I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to see my l A friends. So for me,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, getting re acquainted with people. And
Speaker 1: also like I've been in l A a a few times,
Speaker 1: it was like it's always been for work, so then
Speaker 1: you can't be around anybody because you gotta make sure
Speaker 1: you don't catch ronny. So I've done a staycation before
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, I'm gonna do this, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do that, I'm gonna do smart crafting, and then
Speaker 1: I just really give myself permission to just lay down,
Speaker 1: which is the best. I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: why people are trying to have ambitious stay cations. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was made for you to lay where you lay,
Speaker 1: for you to eat where you eat. It. It's absolutely perfect,
Speaker 1: all right. The people that are out here trying to
Speaker 1: go to other countries and like see other cultures and stuff,
Speaker 1: it's like what you're trying to prove? All right, So
Speaker 1: you don't want to travel worldly? So wait, so you
Speaker 1: don't want to travel at all, you don't want to
Speaker 1: go to another place. All I'll say is this, I
Speaker 1: go places. I do things like I went to London,
Speaker 1: go to Canada, I go play this for shows. I'm
Speaker 1: i'm I'm I'm a person that goes out. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I would rather stay at home, all right, with
Speaker 1: a good book, because that's the other thing I do
Speaker 1: on vacation vacations. I end up buying books that then
Speaker 1: I just wish I was home reading because then you
Speaker 1: buy a book on vacation and then everybody's like, no,
Speaker 1: I come to the beach with us, everything like that,
Speaker 1: And then then after a read books on the beach
Speaker 1: all the time. I don't want saying in my pages.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want the binding of my book
Speaker 1: to be dirtied with the soiled sweat of the earth. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you can sit by the pool, because most hotels
Speaker 1: have pools. You can sit by the pool and read
Speaker 1: a book and get splashed with chlorine on my pristine
Speaker 1: new books. I don't. I can't want this for you.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to figure out. I guess I understand,
Speaker 1: Like there's times that I really want to be home, right,
Speaker 1: and then there's times I'm just like I think. The
Speaker 1: other thing for me is like I'm single, so being
Speaker 1: in my house by myself for an extended period of
Speaker 1: time just makes me sad, Like if there was another
Speaker 1: human being in my house, or maybe even a cat,
Speaker 1: there was another being creature in my house, well, another mammal.
Speaker 1: They're another mammal in my house, another more and more
Speaker 1: specific every time uh something I can hug it here
Speaker 1: that I might be more inclined to be home more.
Speaker 1: But like I remember I was like out like a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago, and one of my friends were like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's like one in the morning. Are you going home?
Speaker 1: And I was like, why, there's nobody at my house
Speaker 1: and he just started laughing. I was like, what he's thinking,
Speaker 1: it's very I've no want to go home too, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get in the house. When I left, it was
Speaker 1: just me. When I got home, it was just me,
Speaker 1: these dishes only getting washed when I feel like doing
Speaker 1: on him, and I never felt like doing. So I
Speaker 1: think for me, like going on trips and stuff, it's
Speaker 1: like it's really just me trying to get to the beach.
Speaker 1: But I think it's that's like the beaches like or
Speaker 1: a acting place for me. Okay, so how about this.
Speaker 1: I'll pitt you this. I'll ask you this. If you
Speaker 1: live somewhere with a beach, would you go on vacations
Speaker 1: if the beach was already there, It's already outside the window.
Speaker 1: You can see it. You can just peek out your
Speaker 1: blinds and see the beach. You know, you can just
Speaker 1: stare at it out your window like a pervert. Right,
Speaker 1: You're still going on vacations now? I don't know, because
Speaker 1: That's my thing is that if you've got the right environment,
Speaker 1: a staycation is better than a vacation because you already
Speaker 1: know you want to be at the place that you are. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess like that's why I started buying better speak
Speaker 1: seats on planes because the hardest part was just like
Speaker 1: just being hemmed up, just trapped in this tube in
Speaker 1: the sky mm hmm um, trying not to pee because
Speaker 1: I'm in a window seat. M hmm. I'm with the
Speaker 1: two other adults. What I'm just trying to do. It's just,
Speaker 1: you know, look for the latrine. So just that, so
Speaker 1: like just traveling in a different way. And like I
Speaker 1: remember there was one time I was in l a
Speaker 1: X And I don't know if some flights that got
Speaker 1: canceled or what happened, but there were people fucking everywhere.
Speaker 1: I was like, is this a bus station? What the
Speaker 1: hell happening here? Because I was like I was give
Speaker 1: you know, because like Costa was telling me, He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you should get a membership in the adulta lounge in
Speaker 1: the American Lines. I'm like, wow, I don't think I
Speaker 1: need that. And there was a thousand humans, truly thousands
Speaker 1: of people, and it was stressing me out. So I
Speaker 1: was like, let me go in the Delta sky Club.
Speaker 1: And I walked in there and I was like, is
Speaker 1: the air different in here? Like it was just a
Speaker 1: different vibe because it wasn't a million people stressed out
Speaker 1: about getting on a plane. Very interesting, very interesting. So
Speaker 1: you went to an airport and you were getting overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by the amount of people around you and and their
Speaker 1: frantic nous, their chaos was was it was coming at
Speaker 1: you funny. So you wanted to get away from that,
Speaker 1: so you went to a sky lounge, which is only
Speaker 1: replicating a staycation. A sky lounge is not representing a staycation.
Speaker 1: And you know, good and damn well it's not it's
Speaker 1: a whole bar in here, because you're still try it's
Speaker 1: a lounge, Josh, it's not. I'm currently in the green
Speaker 1: room of the show. I don't think I'm in a
Speaker 1: living room. I know I'm in a room that is
Speaker 1: designated for people to wait in. It's not a lounge
Speaker 1: that moves. It's a lounge that stays right where it is.
Speaker 1: You know, the whole airport doesn't move. I still have
Speaker 1: to leave this lounge to go to my flight. No,
Speaker 1: this maint this is a point for me. I am
Speaker 1: not making a point for you, because how about this.
Speaker 1: They could make the whole airport. That's the thing that
Speaker 1: to make it eclusive. Like you get a first class
Speaker 1: teach you automatically get it right. When you are paying
Speaker 1: to have a different type of experience, then there is
Speaker 1: going to be food and drinks because I paid you
Speaker 1: more to not be in the franticness of the people
Speaker 1: who are getting on a Spirit Airline flight or whatever,
Speaker 1: or group nine. Like. That's why it's gonna sound very least.
Speaker 1: Some people are gonna be upset, but that's not my problem.
Speaker 1: And I do not know what you re group nine.
Speaker 1: That's listen, you think I wasn't in group nine. You
Speaker 1: think when I started trapping, we've all been a group nine.
Speaker 1: When you start going on the road, you are a
Speaker 1: group eight, Group nine, group six. And then when you
Speaker 1: start whacking up these frequent flyer miles because you work,
Speaker 1: the more freaquent flyer miles you get, the earlier you
Speaker 1: can get on a plane. So I'm always gonna be
Speaker 1: Sky priority no matter where I sit on this plane
Speaker 1: because have four hundred thousand miles with Delta. I think
Speaker 1: that you know, we should also point out that Group
Speaker 1: nine if if you're not aware, if you're a listener
Speaker 1: and you're not actually someone who's had the misfortunate being
Speaker 1: in Group nine, you're basically outside the plane. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: holding on the sea on the wing. Yeah, you're that
Speaker 1: monster on that episode of Twilight Zone who is terrorizing
Speaker 1: a very young William Channa, Like you're holding onto the
Speaker 1: plane for dear life. Also, by the time they get
Speaker 1: to Group nine, if you don't have a backpack that
Speaker 1: rolling you're rolling bags, not getting on the plane. Group now,
Speaker 1: it's just not they didn't tell you ahead of time.
Speaker 1: They tell you don't even try. Don't even try. You
Speaker 1: are a Group nine. Go ahead and gate check this.
Speaker 1: Stop playing with people, so you start traveling. It's you,
Speaker 1: so you work your way up. So can't throw this
Speaker 1: out there to you. Um, you know what type of
Speaker 1: place does not have this sort of hierarchy where you
Speaker 1: have to work your way up through money and time
Speaker 1: and expenses. Is a home? You know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's my basement. I want to send in my basement
Speaker 1: for you know, thirty extra minutes because I'm in Group nine.
Speaker 1: First of all, you don't have a basement. You don't
Speaker 1: know my life like that. I do know your life
Speaker 1: like that. I know you don't have to business out there,
Speaker 1: but I don't have a base you never heard of.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a basement, look base, I you have a basement.
Speaker 1: The building you're in might have a basement. But where
Speaker 1: you say, ain't got no basement. So let's I play
Speaker 1: this game. We're only dealing with true facts and experiences,
Speaker 1: and in your experience, your black ass ain't got no basement.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to play this game. Okay. And
Speaker 1: the thing is, because of time and experience spent, don't
Speaker 1: you live in a better apartment now than you did
Speaker 1: when you first moved to New York? M M see,
Speaker 1: I want to give it to you. But those are leases. No, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no no, it's not about the least. You're talking
Speaker 1: about a stay cation, So where you stay is going
Speaker 1: to determine how your cation goes. Right, So when you
Speaker 1: were there, your very first department in New York, with
Speaker 1: whoever you were staying with, would you want because you're
Speaker 1: act So when you're doing a staycation, you're like a
Speaker 1: solid week at home doing nothing. So your first apartment
Speaker 1: when you first move to New York, would you have
Speaker 1: wanted to do a staycation in that apartment? I don't
Speaker 1: even know if I want to talk about it, you know, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean my first department in New York was a hallway.
Speaker 1: So that's that's uh to your point. I see what
Speaker 1: you mean that is that you work your way up eventually.
Speaker 1: I guess I just feel like since I've lived in
Speaker 1: the same apartment for years now, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I but you had to work, and that's time to
Speaker 1: get to the plant where you could afford to live
Speaker 1: in an apartment that you would stay in for a
Speaker 1: week because your other apartment was a tornado drill. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: see that's not a place you wanted to stay cation. No,
Speaker 1: where you stay now with someplace you want to stay cation.
Speaker 1: So if you're living in a situation like that, you
Speaker 1: would not want to stay there. You would put your
Speaker 1: coins together, feel them apart. If you got to you
Speaker 1: would collect your coins together and get on that jet
Speaker 1: food flight because you can get an eighty dollar tickets
Speaker 1: to the Caribbean on Jet Blue and being a nice
Speaker 1: seat and take luggage with you. I didn't know those things.
Speaker 1: They listen, it's not that expensive to get to the Bahamas.
Speaker 1: It's really not. That's why people always go. But I
Speaker 1: was not expensive. That's I was like, listen, if I
Speaker 1: can't there with a man who can at least give
Speaker 1: me to the I'm a why would like you see
Speaker 1: my tipes? It's stupid. Look peak staycation versus peak vacation.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay cation every time. I want to
Speaker 1: get enough money to have a nice enough house to
Speaker 1: where I never want to leave, and that's the ultimate
Speaker 1: staycation experience. But do you not want to leave because
Speaker 1: your house is expensive? Yeah, I probably can't afward to
Speaker 1: leave now, Like, well that was a crazy thing, Like
Speaker 1: this is what kind of happened, like because of the
Speaker 1: Roney where it was like that's why we ran into
Speaker 1: furniture because everybody was in their apartments being like, oh
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I got to be in here all
Speaker 1: day every day for months, Oh we need to change this.
Speaker 1: Shut up and losing my mind in here. Because that
Speaker 1: was the thing I think I got like a lot
Speaker 1: of That's why so many people like left New York
Speaker 1: because it's like you leave for work at like eight
Speaker 1: in the morning, you might not come and just over
Speaker 1: you go. You might not come back until eight to
Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night or even later, and then you
Speaker 1: just go to sleep. So you weren't even in your
Speaker 1: apartment that long. So you're like, I can handle this.
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, the door, the bathroom door hits the
Speaker 1: toilet when I opened the door, but I'm not here.
Speaker 1: That offen anywhere don't matter. And then now you're in
Speaker 1: there because RONI and it's like, oh, ship, this is
Speaker 1: gonna get the hell a bad. Here. You're like feeling
Speaker 1: that you get when you're on vacation, like you don't
Speaker 1: have and in response, like you don't like you don't
Speaker 1: like that feeling. Um, I have that feeling at home?
Speaker 1: Uh And and here's there's no oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no way I get that feeling hard at home.
Speaker 1: How you're home? Yeah, I don't. I don't care about anything.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you know, you know what's about to
Speaker 1: get read this book, you know what's about to get watched,
Speaker 1: this show. Oh I'm in it. I seemless to my
Speaker 1: apartment because I know what's near me. Oh I I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even think. I don't even think you'd be
Speaker 1: ready for the level of staycation experience that I experienced.
Speaker 1: I think I think your mind would be blown. It's
Speaker 1: others just reading a book in order and food you
Speaker 1: eat all the time. What can I say, I got
Speaker 1: a good life. I can't stand you. I will say, though, um,
Speaker 1: the thing that you mentioned about vacations and how, especially
Speaker 1: in the pandemic, people want to get out there and
Speaker 1: have new experiences. I understand that, Like I I get
Speaker 1: that's not new experiences. It's just like leaving. You aren't
Speaker 1: in your house shaking and fear for a year and
Speaker 1: a half. It's like, I'm finally not mortified to step
Speaker 1: outside my house. What if we got on the point.
Speaker 1: M h. I think that's the campaign. It's like that
Speaker 1: makes sense, And I do understand if you I'm just
Speaker 1: like being in your house and not having to do anything.
Speaker 1: But I think a staycation is just a weekend. Oh
Speaker 1: that that's That's where I have to slow you down.
Speaker 1: That's where I have to back you up. That's where
Speaker 1: I have to stop you who have never talked to
Speaker 1: me like this before. A staycation is as long as
Speaker 1: the imagination lets it go. A staycation is for as
Speaker 1: long as you are on vacation and the next that
Speaker 1: you wake up and got to work. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: you can be on staycation until the minute you leave
Speaker 1: that apartment at that house, that condo, that trailer, that car.
Speaker 1: It's about the mind. You know, You're you're the one
Speaker 1: that that's like hooked on the parameters of an itinerary.
Speaker 1: You have to be on that flight by a certain
Speaker 1: time or else you're not coming back planes five daily,
Speaker 1: could always get a plane back. You're always baby fair
Speaker 1: fair enough that that makes sense. I see what you
Speaker 1: mean now of how vacations can be great and why
Speaker 1: people want to go on them. I'm I'm with you,
Speaker 1: see and I and I also can understand because like
Speaker 1: everything like this thing started to open back up. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I don't it feels too open, Like
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. Some people are nasty. Some
Speaker 1: people you You're like, oh, you should still be in lockdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you still be in lockdown. You should be in handcuffs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like I understand. But what I do also,
Speaker 1: like this is what I like when I'm on vacation.
Speaker 1: I don't like running around and doing a bunch of
Speaker 1: ships because like I guess why. I like getting like
Speaker 1: a hotel like a balcony or like an airb like
Speaker 1: a balcony, like I'm gonna be able to just sit
Speaker 1: outside and enjoy the air of another place. I don't
Speaker 1: like running around having a full ituner ry. So it's like,
Speaker 1: I guess sometimes I'll do a staycation while I'm on
Speaker 1: a vacation. That makes yeah, yeah, no, I'm I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I uh. I want to get not only just your thoughts,
Speaker 1: but the thoughts of the listeners. Let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. You know, are you a vacation person and
Speaker 1: staycation person? Do you think one of us is absolutely crazy?
Speaker 1: It's probably me. I understand that I have very unpopular
Speaker 1: opinions about things. People probably agree with you. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay in the house, you know, because
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like a rich person agrees with me.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like anybody with money is
Speaker 1: probably gonna agree with me. I'm just glad that we
Speaker 1: could find some common ground, you know. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you dul Safe for being a co host with me.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you the listener for listening to
Speaker 1: the episode. And we're gonna be back next week with
Speaker 1: an all new hold Up. Listen to hold Up on
