Almost every one of them was an email 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.480 I snoozed last week, and so I'm just on the edge, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.600 absolutely freaking out. Let's get into the podcast.

But last week I think I snoozed 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.600 every email every day, and I woke up to probably 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:43.280 twenty extra emails.

So you've acclimated to 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.680 what's happening the time. Did you drive from Portland or 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.519 Seattle to here? 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:50.120 Yeah? 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.399 No, no, I flew You're flying all over the place.

You are 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.120 the first time I ever got on a plane twenty two. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.720 No way, yeah, wow? And what was that experience? 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:08.160 Like it was honestly like really emotional and like amazing. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.520 Was it scary a little bit but like not really 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.080 like I I And it was to fly here to 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.480 LA It's a long true, so it's like, you know, yeah, 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.280 like a five and a half hour flight and that's 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.200 my first time ever. Wow, Because I don't know, like 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.440 I grew up in Jersey and like moved to New 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.720 York really young, and I'd like been there for like 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.320 thirteen years now, and so I just like stayed put 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.320 in one place and no reason to go elsewhere, I guess, yeah, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.320 And like we just like never got on planes growing 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.760 up or anything. I was just like everyone else does that, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.560 Like I won't know or something. I just kept like 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.760 putting it off for you, it's not for me, like 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:48.560 everyone else can whatever. And so then finally like I 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.040 got on the plane and I was a little bit scared, 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.080 but then once the it like took off, like I 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.560 was so emotional and I was like crying. I had 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.400 a window seat. This really hot eye was hit next 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:01.960 to me.

Oh sure, 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.000 I board it, And so then it really it hit me. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.839 I slept for like forty minutes, and then I woke 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.719 up and I was like, are we almost there? We 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.640 had like four hours left. Horrible feeling, and then I 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.560 was like, wait, this is really boring. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.680 It's like I was like, no, like what am I 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.320 gonna do? How do I get through this? And I 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:45.400 just had to figure it out. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.880 Right, that happens to me on almost every flight. We're 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.520 all fall asleep for probably fifteen minutes and think that 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.039 I've been asleep from the entire time, and then I 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.400 have to occupy myself. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.000 For all of that.

Yeah, I don't know. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.480 I used to check bags, but then when you're sending 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.920 it a luggage carousel at the end of a flight, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.680 you just want to die. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.800 Yeah. I don't want to go through that. No, you 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.920 shouldn't have to go through that. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.960 I'm like scared too, So I'm like I'm like I'll 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.920 do anything.

So, like last minute, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.760 I like upgraded my seat and it was like one A. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.160 So I was like, wow, I was like one A. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.560 I like didn't look at like the map of like 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.160 the seats or like whatever, and I thought it would 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.800 be like, oh, there's first class, like the nice seats 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.960 and you know, like the essentially beds or whatever, and 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.680 then you get the rest of it. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:37.960 And I thought I was going to be there. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.080 So then when I get to the plane, I see 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.960 that that wasn't there, and I like showed it to 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.280 one of the like flight attendants. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.760 They're like, yep, you're sitting right there. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.760 That's you for first you know whatever, And I was 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.200 just like my first class. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.160 So wasn't a playing without first class just entirely, or 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.959 you accidentally bought a first class ticket? 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.280 Were you in one of the bed things? 0:08:59.520 --> 0:08:59.600 No? 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:00.000 I wasn't. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.520 And it was one of these plays, one of those 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.960 place has like everyone's the same, Yeah, pretty much. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.240 I think that's how they're like, and they still label 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.240 it first class. Oh interesting, yeah. So but then I 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.240 had such imposter syndrome about it. I'm like, I'm not 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.640 first class. There's no way. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.080 I'm new to this. Were you treated differently a little bit? 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.720 A little bit? What does that mean? 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.200 Well, the same thing happened on my way from Portland 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.040 to LA I was also sitting in one A. I'm 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.160 sensing like a pattern here, but I was I was 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:38.600 hitting in one A and yeah, I feel like someone. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.200 This flight attendant came up to me and was called 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.640 me by my last name, mister Perez. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:45.600 Can I take your coat? 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.120 Because I had a trench coat and I was like wow, 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.280 I was like, I don't deserve this. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.560 Is that really?

Why. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.720 Then they were also just like, do you want anything 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.640 to drink? I was like, ginger ale. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.720 They brought a little glass with ice cubes and a 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:04.280 ginger Ale. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.840 Are you a ginger ale drinker outside of a plane? Yeah? 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.080 Okay, because I feel like ginger ale is like a 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.560 flight drink. Oh it is, Yeah, but you just happened 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.920 to just drink ginger ale all the time. Yeah, ginger 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:16.640 and Dia Cooke. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.880 Especially if I'm at a bar or something, I don't drink, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.600 so I'll usually order those two. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.440 I do love a ginger Ale. On a plane. But yeah, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.240 I feel like I've been recently getting the fruit flavored mineral. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.239 What is what do we call it? Like a Lacroix 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.800 X it's but it's called like aha, which is the 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.920 worst thing to have to order to say I want 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:37.720 an ahah. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.240 It feels insane. Is it just seltzer? 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.640 It's just seltzer. It's like and it's the worst flavor. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.840 It's like watermelon, lime or something. 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.800 Do you have to like like You're like, can I 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.600 have an ah watermelon? 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.840 Because I've tried, because I don't want to say that.

And then they make me specify what it is. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.440 And aha is a hard thing to say loud on 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.880 a plane because there's no real hard consonant there. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.640 Yeah ah Yeah. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.240 It just kind of feels like you're opening your mouth 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.480 to them. It's they need to get a different type 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.200 of Seltzer on planes. Yeah, there are so many other ones. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.880 Lacroi is easy to say, yeah, Waterloo, Well those are 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.400 the two I can think of. A friend recently stayed 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.680 here at my house and left some Trader Joe's sparkling water. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.800 That's blueberry lemon Oka the worst liquid I've ever tasted, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.000 real blueberry lemon. Yeah, that sounds like I'll drink anything, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.480 and I just need to warn people. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.559 I think blueberry lemon you can't fake that so much 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:40.720 like blueberry especially Righteah, you can't fake blueberry like I think. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.160 Like I literally had over the weekend a blueberry lemon 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.160 cheese Danish what And it was fabulous. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.840 Where in Portland? 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.240 Oh okay, okay, And I just like popped in and 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.600 I was like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go for it. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.480 And it was really really good.

Let oh, so I guess it was probably 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:02.800 like lemon curd or something. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.080 I think actually maybe there wasn't lemon in it.

And I listened to it 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.800 on the ride back to New York. I'm sure Sufien 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.200 would be so happy to hear this. Yeah, that was 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.280 kind of the beginning of his he was going to 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.200 do fifty states and then I think he did one, two, 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.720 two albums after states, right, that was why would you 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.600 announce that? I mean he truly was telling people, I'm 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.000 going to do fifty albums, one after each state of 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.200 the United States. Really, yes, this was a real thing. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.960 And then of course you can't do that, Yeah, that 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.200 would take three lifetimes. Yeah, so I think that was 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.120 the last. That was kind of the last one that 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:36.400 he did, and that's when he was announcing it, right. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.120 God bless, but so curious what New Jersey would have been, Like, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.680 I know, I wanted to know what Utah would have been. Yeah, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.720 literally what would those But he. 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.600 Probably wanted to know what any of those would have been, 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.960 Like he doesn't know the states that well, yeah, he 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.680 probably would have just ended up being like him reading 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.280 a Wikipedia article or sex strumming the guitar. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.360 I kind of, yeah, I haven't listened to it. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.440 He feels like a very of a time and place, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.480 and so I haven't really tried to revisit, but maybe 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:03.920 I should. 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:05.240 I don't know. 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.359 I mean, well, I don't know his work, like super Wow, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.399 but I think he like just came out with a people. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.119 I feel like I don't know there's I don't know, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:15.600 he think too much whispering for me. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.400 Really, I like have grown to like love that shit. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.600 I love when a singer is like whispering or has 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.439 like I love that.
