WEBVTT - Fidget Chandelier 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:10.479 It's eight p m. At the Opera Populaire and you're 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:31.200 listening to Nightcall. Welcome to Nightcall, a podcast for your 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:35.040 strange days and lonely nights. My name is Emily Raschida. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.120 I'm in New York. On the other end of the line. 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.080 In Los Angeles, we have Molly Lambert and with me 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.279 is Lynch And again over in New York, we have 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:52.280 Leslie Moon a special guest, Leslie Moon. Hooray right, Um, 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.840 Leslie is a real person, even though it sounds like 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.800 she's a Fraser fan fiction character. We um who's like 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:07.720 Daphne's from from Manchester, who's like maybe a real minx. Uh. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:12.040 Leslie is a real person. She is my good friend 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.240 from Los Angeles. We've known each other since kind of 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.760 since our big chill days. Um and Leslie now is 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.560 in Berlin and she's visiting New York this week. And 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.680 she is a trainer and also just in general, like 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:32.040 a writer and thinker about fitness. Fitness is like maybe 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.640 like a bad word, but like yeah, just about physical 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.560 activity and and and one's practice. So I thought that 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.240 would be kind of fun to talk about because um, 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.840 I think we tend to be really big advocates of 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.600 like brain and a jarism. Uh are you advocates for 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.720 it or you just well, well, we all fall on 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.520 different lines of it. Tests says that she's a percent 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.559 brain in a jar, but I would argue otherwise. Tests 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.480 is like a big digger of holes. I hear, I 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.880 do I want? Literally she loves to dig a hole. Well, 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.120 I have a backyard and like occasionally when I feel 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:12.240 existential dread or um just frustration with something, there's like 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.560 a tree adoption event every so often in my neighborhood. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.600 And I have all these trees in pots, you know, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.560 I have them waiting for those times, and then I'll 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.480 go out in the yard and dig a gigantic hole. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.040 And it's satisfying, right, It's very satisfying. I have like 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.800 the world's worst shovel, so I really have to work 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.239 in it, and that's how I get it out. But 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.200 I don't consider it exercise even though it hurts. That 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.480 is exercise, that it's using your body to do something 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.880 that's satisfying, which is I feel like what I like 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.960 about Leslie's exercise practice whatever Leslie would like to call it, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.400 What do you think of it? It's like an art 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.640 practice that involves exercise, but it's about like practical things, 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.760 like um, getting out. You did one that was about 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.360 like lifting things in the way that is like the best, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:03:00.200 the most efficient way to get up efficient. I like 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.480 the way to do it properly so you don't like 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.280 sunk up your back and shoulders, which is yeah, yeah, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.520 for sure. I mean my relationship to exercise and movement 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.440 is like for sure evolved over the last uh well 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.519 long long time because I grew up in l A 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.440 in the middle of like fitness culture, which I totally resented, 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.760 and um, I think I lived a very brain in 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:30.120 the jar kind of existence except for like doing Emily. Yeah, 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.720 I was a swimmer. I did do some sports. I 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.280 did actually many sports, but not very many compared to 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.120 like my super athlete friends. When I like one of 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.640 my best friends when I was a little little kid, 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.880 became a professional football player, and but I did gymnastics 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.920 until I got too tall for that. And and then 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.960 once I was in high school and started to dabble 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.240 in photography, I think that the dark room kind of 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.520 swallowed me up and I did fully come out of 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600 that until I got a trainer for a bit in 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.720 l A. Through a job that I had, and um, 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.240 this trainer worked with me three times a week and 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.160 it was oddly something that my work was paying for. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.840 So I just took full advantage of that because they 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.720 weren't paying me very well. I think that they were 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.640 paying you for like, um, superficial reasons, like they wanted 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.320 to make sure that all of their people, and I 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.320 think it was just like, um, something that they weren't 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:36.000 fully aware of. It was just like insurance full It 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.440 was a glitch, a glitch in the matrix. There was 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.240 a glitch that I found in the matrix and I 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.880 really really liked it. Actually, it was so funny because 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.359 we were like so so poor at that time, but 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.080 it was like you were going to this fancy gym, 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.359 like and I still remember where it was because it 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.480 was so unusual to be in a place like that, 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.360 a penthouse gym, yeah, overlooked, and we were like out 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.520 on the patio like swinging kettlebells. Is like the first 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:09.479 time I ever did that. Night Call is brought to 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.000 you by robin Hood.

I went into an Equinox with somebody 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.600 and I was like, Oh, you could just live here. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.480 They stop people from just living here. I have this thing, 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.120 I wrote, like, because I wasn't equinox member. When I 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.880 was at the verge end Um, I had to quit. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.320 When I can report to be an Equinox member. But 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.680 I like wrote a thing that I never published anywhere 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.520 that was like my goodbye to all that, but about Equinox? 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.960 Can I publish that? Actually it might have been lost 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.160 in my computer when I I mean what that made 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.640 me think of those? Like how? How? I think there's 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.840 like impediments to people getting into adopting that into their 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.320 lifestyle because like one, they like feel like they could 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.040 never identify as somebody goes to a gym or something. Yeah, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.440 I think that's what we're talking about. It is like 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.640 as like an as like a nerd girl. You have 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.880 to be like, well, I'm not a gym and I 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.080 hate my body and I will never acknowledge that it's there, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.280 and I will do everything in my power to deny 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.760 my body. But I saw it as like functional. I 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.080 was like, my body is for like getting me from 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.080 one place to another, but not that like I don't 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.040 want it doesn't have to be ornamental. I can just 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.000 be exactly the truck that drives me around my body. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.680 I'm very respectful of other people's exercise routines. I find 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.920 it very I've done it before, and I did Power 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.880 of Ten. I think it was called for a while 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.880 where it's like just lifting as much as you can lift, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.160 and tests can really lift some stuff because she has kids, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.160 So I think your brain in a jar at all. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.160 No she's not, but I respect that your conviction that 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.240 you are. I think it's more that I went through 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.280 periods where I would like really just spend a lot 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.120 of time, Like in college, I spent a lot of 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.320 time in the gym because it was free at school, 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.360 and I think I was really interested in becoming like 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.200 super super strong. But then eventually it just made me 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.040 like just crazy hungry all the time, so much hungrier 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.240 than a real person should be, because I was expecting 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.840 so many calories when I was starving. It's like I 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 was preparing for someone to like want to fight or something. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.120 I now do. I try to be active, like if 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.440 it's easier, you know, if I can walk someplace, I will. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.720 I'm lifting kids and bags and I like to carry 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.040 stuff for people. If the opportunity arises of a work 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.679 where is media in l A. I'm very aware of 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.480 the kind of like the vanity of feeling as though 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.679 um it's not like a spiritual or like you're in 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.559 tune with your body thing, but it's it's more of 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.160 a you know, superficial thing. I just reject it and 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.400 it makes me like I'm very ornery about it. Yeah, 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.200 it's a different It's like it's totally good, I think. Yeah. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.599 I always resented the like kind of fitness practices that 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.719 were dominant in Los Angeles, and really it took me 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.400 until moving to Berlin to like to get so down 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.439 with and even then, like I was going for strength 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.559 and not for some kind of an esthetic goal. Right, 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.760 it's not like you know, toning your calves or whatever. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.920 People like like these really microup session things about certain 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.440 parts of your body, like trendy like you know, fitness 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.840 trends that come and go, or we talked about opinion, 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.760 but there's all kind of stuff like that. My friends 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.880 went to Across Fit. I'm like, I remember just crossed that, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.160 just being like nah, like that's not for me. Because 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.440 there was one called sweat Garage where it's like they 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.040 put you in a garage and they closed the garage 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.280 door and they're like now you're in the sweat garage. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.400 And I was like no, now you're trapped. God, wait, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.320 that sounds awful. CrossFit where like and this this relates 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.839 to like lifting things the correct way where there's a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.640 danger and I think we've talked about this on the across. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.600 It's bad. It's like you're not supposed to push yourself 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.520 to the limit all the time, and that's what's good. 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.480 Back to Leslie, Well, Leslie's Breakfast Studio is a lot 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:08.200 of it is about sort of functional things. And yes, yeah, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.800 I mean I think that what I'm on a path 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.360 too towards and what I'm trying to help facilitate other 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.559 people um to do is to just be able to, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.720 um do something that prompts a positive adaptation in their bodies, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:28.240 so like doing stuff that feels good, that makes them stronger, 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.560 that makes them more mobile, but is also just something 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:35.199 that like becomes a really practical and sustainable part of 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.880 their lives. So that's also really individual, Like people live 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.160 very differently and for some folks, like CrossFit will be 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.920 great actually because they're really tuned to it. It's something 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.599 that will serve them, um they have more energy or 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.880 whatever they're more fit for like Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.120 and all that kind of stuff that's in that package. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.280 But for other people, like CrossFit would just be like 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.319 system overload, total shut down. Like they're even more alienated 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.800 from fitness than UM they were when they started trying 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.760 cross fit or whatever because they or they hurt themselves 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.920 or something and then you really like give up for 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.559 a time. Yeah, And I think it's like it's just 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:17.560 really important to create a space where people aren't scared 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.000 of UM trying to get stronger. There's like there's a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:26.439 way for anybody if they're like reached properly to to 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:31.520 get stronger. It's just different for for everyone. UM. Yeah, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.960 I think UM. I wanted to talk about our experience 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.599 on UM on election night also Hi, everybody were on 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.840 the other side of the election. But that that night, UM, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.400 I was just trying to figure out what to do, 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.800 Like I had a screening that I could maybe you 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.520 could go to, or you know, I was just trying 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.360 to figure out what to do with myself that evening 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.640 to not just go crazy. And Leslie and I ended 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.480 up going to a martial arts class that, like I 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.679 did not realize was going to be two and a 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.600 half hours long. It was like a class and then 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.520 there was just kind of a practice session in the 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.760 middle of it too. There's a lot of teaching. There's 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.080 a lot, Yeah, there was. It wasn't like constantly doing stuff, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.920 but it was still like by the end of it, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.439 I was like shaking, or are you good at martial arts? 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.880 By the end? I mean martial arts by the end, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.800 know I got Indian burns. Yeah, but it was like 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.560 it was really really great and it was so different 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.480 from I've even been doing boxing lately, but it was 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640 even different from that. But it was like, it's like 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.560 the opposite of brain at the jar, because like if 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.559 your brain at the jar during a stressful time, like 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.480 I don't know, say, any given point of the last 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.280 several years, and that's what we all like about physical activity, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.640 yourselves out of the brain in a jar. And that's 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.920 why it's fun to dig the hole, is because you're like, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.880 I just gotta dig the hole and like it's fun, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.439 it's mindful. The thing that's also crazy when I was 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.160 talking about this, when we were talking about group fitness, 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:07.120 like a few weeks ago, was that I started going 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.040 back to the physique fifty seven and like the pop 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.960 physiques of the world and stuff, and I hadn't gone 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.280 for years and years to that, and I went back 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.760 and it was such a culture shock, like especially because 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.800 I think like I had been taking so many of 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.560 my cues from you, Leslie, and or like like trying 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.480 to rethink about like how I approached doing any kind 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.960 of these classes. Well, No, like in the classes, it's 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.240 just like so the opposite of everything. Like it's just 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:41.280 like these models and stuff and it depends what you want. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.800 It's like they're all styles, and like I also just 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.640 like as a people watcher, enjoy all the styles. Like 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.520 I also enjoy going to Runyon Canyon and seeing people 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.080 that are like super dressed up to work out, you know, perfect. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.319 You talk about the power of observation in terms of exercise, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.800 like if you put your self within these things, like 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.240 they're really different experientially. Yeah, for sure. I go to 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.880 the y m c A, which my friend Sarah got 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:15.240 me into in part because it's like the most unintimidating Jim. Yeah, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.240 Like the y m c A is all it's a 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.760 lot of old people well, which we go to different wise, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:27.040 but mine is also mostly people over sixty and people 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:31.360 and naked and body confident, which is my favor just 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.360 like good sense of community at the y, like you 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.160 get to know the people your your time frame tends 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.440 to line up, so eventually you have like pretty deep 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.240 discussions with your nine year old. I've also heard some 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.480 really like I eavesdrop, you know, obviously in the locker room. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.280 And I heard a really interesting like prop ten conversation 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.320 last right before the vote. Um it was a couple 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.560 of people talking about how they were voting. Yes, um 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.120 r I p prop toon. We're still going to figure 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.880 out in control in Los Angeles. But one of the 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.880 reasons that we're talking about fitness so much is because 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.960 we have to get soul for the apocalypse. Right, Yeah, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.200 I'm not I'm not getting swollen you guys, but I 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.840 am supporting you getting I think when in terms of 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.720 this whole sentiment of like getting swollen for the apocalypse 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.560 that to me as a professional, like it totally shuts 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.720 me down. I'm just like, nope, nope, nope, nope. Like 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.560 my role as a like fitness mentor is sort of 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:33.280 to help to get people to do training just out 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.920 of a sense of curiosity and not for any specific purpose, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.640 even though it could be functional. Like I think that 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.760 it's more about like what will happen if we try 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.920 to do this like in a safe obviously, in like 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.920 a safe and prepared environment, or like expand your notion 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.480 of what your body can do or something, because there's 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.760 like some inherent used to that even if you're not 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.960 good at whatever you're doing. Yeah, yeah, which is kind 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.880 of like this like notion of self and posed enrichment 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.640 that I'm like a big, big believer in and kind 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.720 of doing things for no reason. Like last year I 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.760 just started climbing up these mountains because I realized that, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.000 Like I was like, if I don't, if I don't 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.520 start summiting mountains, I'm never gonna be a summit or 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.160 so I got to get going. And I'm like not 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.720 a mountaineer. I'm not even a hiker at all. I 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.400 was raised like in the concrete jungle of l A. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.200 But I mean we used to go on hikes, and you, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.360 like I, I would like die. I would die on 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.600 hikes with Emily. I got so gung home in hiking, 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.640 like it became a really love beating me. Oh my god, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.160 I loved it so much. Leslie, did you get strong 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:47.360 to become stronger than Emily? That all comes down to that. Oh, 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.360 this is what we're talking about. This, this is going 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.840 to culminate in an arm wrestling championship. Yeah, well I 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.760 call arm wrestling. I'm already putting money only. I'm sorry, Molly. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.680 I feel like you've got secret strength you don't even 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.600 know about. You're probably, yeah, you're probably. Like you know, 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:05.600 they always talk about like moms can lift a car 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.600 if they see like a car coming towards the adrenaline, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.320 you could summon that adrenaline. Mom's moms can lift a lot. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.119 Like I sometimes que moms when we're like doing a 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.560 dead lift. I'll tell them that like their kids trapped 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.160 under a car, and then like all of a sudden, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.360 they can lift like twenty k that's like forty four 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.119 pounds more. Oh my god, your brain switched to Quilo's leslie. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.760 How long did that take? Totally European, guys, And just 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.600 like I'm in my American suit, you're like toning down 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.200 your l a voice right now, though I know I've 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.480 been trying real hard to have a New York voice, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.280 a New York voice. Yeah, well I'm trying to have 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.560 it right now. You guys can't tell Oh my God, 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.800 you're not loud enough. You have to like yell your 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.480 opinion like everybody yelling at the same time. Would be 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.359 a New York New York voice as a Los Angeles 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.640 person who likes to yell my inion at people. Let's 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.640 not make these generally where the loud people who yell 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:20.520 come from over. Today's episode of Night Call is brought 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.160 to you by Lola, a modern approach to feminine care. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.760 Lola is a female founded company offering a line of 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.480 organic cotton tampons, pads, and liners. They now offer sex 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.119 products too.

Another great thing about Lola is 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.240 they come in simple, customizable subscription, so you get exactly 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.600 what you need when you need it. We all had 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.240 the chance to try Lola's period products, and besides knowing 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.160 that they're all natural, they're also beautifully designed and packaged. 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.520 We're also fans of being able to choose the right 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.080 mix of products, absorbency, number of boxes, and frequency, which 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.040 makes things so much easier and better than buy a 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.560 bunch of boxes at the drug store. And their cleansing 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.159 wipes are the first to be all natural and biodegradable, 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:09.040 plus their gynecologist approved and hypoallergenic. It's also great to 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.520 see a sex line designed by women with women in mind, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.560 so there are no unnecessary irritating additives in their condoms 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.959 and lubricant. And one of the things we most love 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.919 about Lola is that for every purchase, the company donates 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.560 feminine care products to homeless shelters across the US.

Is it 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.000 one of those like little gummy ones? Oh my gosh, 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.760 I love those so much. I realized I've started biting 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.119 my nails again. Are you guys into fidgeting? Because I 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.280 had a fidget cube and I couldn't figure. I was like, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.320 none of these buttons push. It's like it's supposed to 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.639 frustrate you or something. So I was like, I need 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:06.800 to just get like a fidget thing that's not gonna 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:11.280 make me square. It's like a it's a fidget cube, 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.600 and it's like a little plastic cube and it has 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.800 like little kind of button protuberances on it and like 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.080 little switches. It's you're just both basically supposed to like 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.320 play with it. It's like a fidget spinner. But if 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.639 you have like, um, if you bite your nails or 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.040 if you like pick your cuticles, you just kind of 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.040 it's something to do with your hands. Like I took 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.760 up knitting to also try and um stop doing that. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.720 But I couldn't end like my things. I just have 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.200 like really long I've been compulsively baking, which is maybe 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.040 the opposite of doing martial arts and boxing. It's but 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.680 you can't actually because you're right, it's all I'm a 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.879 Leslie bigs Pies. You punch that bread also, and you 0:20:53.000 --> 0:21:00.640 need it. Sometimes we should take a night email. Perhaps 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.760 let's do it. So we're gonna take a night email. 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.119 And as always, if you want to send us an email, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:10.040 you can at night Call Podcast at gmail dot com. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.520 You can also give us a call at one two 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.000 four oh four six night. This email comes to us 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:22.280 from Daniel, and Daniel says, dear Night Operators, I just 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.920 finished watching Titanic for the first time. I'm thirty four 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.240 and have obstinately even proudly refused to watch it into 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.240 now because I thought I was too cool. I was wrong. 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.320 I'm a little drunk. I watched it alone, so maybe 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:39.080 I missed something. But what the fuck? The ending? The 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.440 last scene we're in all one, weird, dissolved. We go 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.920 from underwater and all the people that died are still 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.160 in the Titanic. So Rose dies and Jack is waiting 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.480 for her with all the ghosts Titanic limbo? What is 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:53.879 the moral? No one ever escapes the Titanic. It's the 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:58.840 shining underwater, another frozen Jack, trapped forever in some gilded age, 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.560 parallel universe, so intensely dark. Why did no one tell 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.400 me about this? I've been planning a night call since 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.720 I listened to the Annihilation episode because it got me 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.080 thinking about cosmic horror, like what is the definition? I 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.560 wanted to ask, what are some of your favorite cosmic 0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.000 horror movies? But now I have to ask, is Titanic 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.639 a cosmic horror movie? I know there are no aliens 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.160 or no body horror, but there is the crushing indifference 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.800 of the North Atlantic and the tentacle ropes whooping around, 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.040 and the sheer scale of the disaster driving sailors to suicide. 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.400 The ship is an elder god returning to the deep 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.960 to become a tiny hell for all the souls that's swallowed. 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.080 So yeah, other than the Titanic, what are your favorite 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:39.800 cosmic horror movies? Thanks? Dan? Wow, what a great night. 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.000 Excellent night. It hit all the points. Yeah, it's good, 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.040 It's real good. I really like the read of Titanic 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.359 as a cosmic horror movie. I don't think it's wrong, 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.560
