00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stradio Lab, an intellectual podcast about straight culture

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: and also a stupid podcast about nothing. Don't say that,

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: it's just true. I don't want to lie to our listeners.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: I'm George Severe and I'm Sam Taggart and this is

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Lab podcast starts now. Hello listeners, Sorry to interrupt, but hello, Hi.

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: UM just f y I UM. Seconds ago George said

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I need an espresso. Well here, I'll say this. Okay.

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: You know there has been a change this season, and

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: I think it is just in terms of how scheduling

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: has worked out, where we used to record a lot

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: on the weekends and now we are recording a lot

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: in the evenings after work. And you know, you want

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: to be you want to be the consummate professional. You

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: want to be able to turn it on out of

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: nowhere at any given time. You want to be able

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to get up at three am and host the Oscars

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: if you know NBC calls right. And it is difficult

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: for me to accept that I am not at that

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: level of professionalism yet mm hmm. It's honestly difficult for

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: everyone involved to accept that. Have you have you struggled

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: with my my, my lack of I feel like I'm

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: I really pushed myself and I'm able to really get there,

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: But you think that I have failed, actually repeatedly over

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: the last five episodes that we have recorded this season.

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Is that what I know? I think you're in it.

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: I think you're doing a great job. I think maybe

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you think I shouldn't address it. I think you shouldn't

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: give it power. I think because you always do a

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: great job, I think you should be like, yeah, I

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: am tired, but it doesn't really come through. And I

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: actually am the constant professional that I think I'm not. Well,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I guess you're you're saying I should fake it till

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I make it. Kind of well, I'm saying, it's all

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: a facade. I'm saying, like, you know this, this is

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: a scheduled conversation, like it's not we are having a coffee,

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, in downtown Manhattan, like sort of discussing our

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: intellectual pursuits. Like this is all it's all a facade,

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: And so I guess it's more than that. To me.

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: I just think you should lean into um, the art

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: of performance, okay, and and sort of understand like when

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I sign it on, I'm tired, but but it does

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: away it doesn't matter, and and the Katy Perry video

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: of her crime being left it up you know, okay,

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: all right, well you know, I'm sorry I couldn't step

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: up to the plate. It's okay. I still think that

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: you are a beautiful podcast host. I think you have

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: so many years of hosting podcasts ahead of you. It

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: will say that listen. I I of course understand. I

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: of course understand how it must be frustrating for me

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to even utter the words I am tired or I

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: needed an espresso or something, but then for you to

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: respond essentially with a full body I roll really does

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: not help my case. No, I it's okay. What makes

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: me laugh about it is the I need an espresso,

55
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: like specifically, um, and I know it's your European roots, um,

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: But coming out for me, it's always more of the

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: it's it reads sometimes like as like um uh like

58
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: New Yorker cartoon person, you know what I mean? I see,

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Like that's what's funny to me? Yeah, okay, like like,

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: of course I would say that signing on to a

61
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to a zoom at at six thirty seven o'clock PM,

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: like of course, that's the first thing I would say.

63
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: It really is. I mean, I really am saying, but

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: first coffee at the end of the day, Like after

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: all of the work we have done internally and externally

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: over the last three years, I am at this stage

67
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: in my life and career logging onto a zoom and saying,

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: only I had a cup of coffee. You are but

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: even the I mean, it's funny, it is you like

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: to be like I wish I had a shot of espresso.

71
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: It's very it's very New York City, it's very um

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Sex and the city. It's just it's fun. We don't

73
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't know when just normal things we say

74
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: are funny and I think, um, that's one of your things.

75
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. But once again, you know, I feel like

76
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: your reaction wasn't so much laughing as it was kind

77
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: of exasperated. No, no, no, let me think I have

78
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: a lot to say about this. Am I allowed to

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: talk at this point or not? You actually supposed to

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: introduce lent, But I mean, I guess, I mean, it's like, no,

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: we should you know what I actually I changed my

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: mind and I think that you know what would be

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: even better than a shot of espresso A shot of

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: my friend Julio Hi, So, without further ado, please welcome

85
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: to podcast. Julio Torres. Hi, Julio, So what were you

86
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna say? So? Okay, I just really witnessing you to

87
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: like not seeing each other in that moment. Was was

88
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: fascinating to me because yes, I clocked that Sam brought

89
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: up the espresso because Sam was like, hah, my friend

90
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: is so fancy. Isn't that funny? Ha ha? And then

91
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: and then of course judicial securities came up and was

92
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: just inflamed by that and didn't realize that Sam was

93
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: like delighted by a funny line, but was because I

94
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: guess maybe you're insecure about being tired or not being

95
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: a professional right then you thought you thought it was

96
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: a critique about that. It's sort of like, you know,

97
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: like if if Sam had said like, oh my god, sir,

98
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: because Sam loves red, and you're like, oh no, x

99
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: y C about my my skin or whatever. Okay, I'm

100
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: starting to catch on. You two need to put yourself

101
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: into and the and your hosts shoes a little more.

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: We are trying every day. Yeah, okay, Well, um, so George, um,

103
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: how do you think I feel? And then I'll say

104
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: how I think you feel? I think you feel well,

105
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: I think you feel I think it's complicated. I think

106
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit like I can feel some

107
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: concern even now of how will we get out of this?

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Interesting because I think it's sort of like, first you

109
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: were genuinely feeling tired, so let's that's like the base

110
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: level we're working with, and then there's even the self

111
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: consciousness about feeling tired, and and so now I'm sort

112
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: of feeling like there's a third level of like and

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: now you're self conscious that we that you let the

114
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: self consciousness get in the way of understanding something, and

115
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: so I can feel like a light a casual concerns interesting,

116
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: how are you? How do you think I'm feeling here?

117
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Here's here's my I feel like it's interesting that you

118
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: latched onto the espressive thing because what I my insecurity

119
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: with this is like the past couple of times we

120
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I think we get into these patterns where you ask

121
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: me how I am and then I respond with kind

122
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: of like the same thing every time. And I there

123
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: was one period where I would always talk about how

124
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: stressed I was because of work, and then I realized,

125
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: like this isn't I can't just keep saying that Sam

126
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: has nothing. Sam just by definition, will not be able

127
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: to say something that will make me feel better about

128
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: being stressed about work. He doesn't know the ins and

129
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: outs of my job, Like that's not going to help whatever.

130
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: And then I feel like recently my instinct or my

131
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: kind of like automatic response is just complaining about how

132
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: tired I am. And I kind of feel like I'm

133
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: hitting a wall with that where I realized even saying

134
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: it tonight, like literally, what are you going to do

135
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: about that? What are you going to do about the

136
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: fact that I'm tired? There's nothing you can do about it.

137
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: And I'm suddenly putting that on you. It is not

138
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: a conversation starter. It is not something that is like productive.

139
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: And so my fear, in fact, is not like about

140
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: us doing a bit or about us being able to

141
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: get out of it. It's that you. Is that I'm like, he,

142
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: you are so like bored of me talking about getting tired. No,

143
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: that's not it at all. I think it's normal to

144
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: be tired, you know, whatever time this is, that's beautiful. Yeah,

145
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: it is normal to be tired, thank you. Yeah, And

146
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I think it would be I think it would you know,

147
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: It's even weirder sometimes when people don't admit that they're tired, right, yeah,

148
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, well that's kind of what where I

149
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: was coming from the beginning when I was not doing

150
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Katy Perry popping out of the stage, and I was like,

151
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: you know what, just today, I'm gonna be tired? Is

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Katie Perry off tired? She in this very famous scene

153
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: that Sam is referencing, Russell Brand had just texted her

154
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: that he wants to get a divorce, right Sam, wait

155
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: a scene in what her documentary and the documentary okay

156
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: and back saying no, no, no, no. So there's actually

157
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: one key difference, which is, rather than being tired, she

158
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: was sad. Yeah, she was really sad. So you mean

159
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: to tell me that the documentary cameras received the incoming

160
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: text of I Want to divorce Julio. This is one

161
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: of the best documentaries the world has ever said. Okay,

162
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: this is like and you ask the audience do you

163
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: believe that or is it sort of like a Real

164
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: Housewives staying I'm like, yeah, it's like outlined, but I

165
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: enjoy it. As the audience. I believe it. You believe it.

166
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Believe it, you believe that that the cameras just happened

167
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: to capture someone receiving and I want to get a

168
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: divorce text, Julio. They were with her on all of tour,

169
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't think you under stand up, so like

170
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: they were with her on all of the tour. Of

171
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: course they're going to see when like she gets a

172
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: text that breaks her heart. Like these documentaries are like

173
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: produced by they're like Katie Perry, so they're commercials for that.

174
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: It was produced by actually Katherine Hudson Katie Perry. So

175
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: what's honestly what's weird about this one is it it

176
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: does feel like, wait, who's in charge of this one?

177
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Because it is really good. It does capture because it

178
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: captures the whole downfall of their relationship, and like it's like,

179
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: how did you this was really lucky? I mean it's

180
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: still an advert. You still fall in love with Katy

181
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: Perry through the documentary, so it is successful of being

182
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: an ad for her, but it is like the most

183
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: real you can get from a documentary like that. And

184
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: I just want to say, as if you were And

185
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I have actually never seen this documentary, but I have

186
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: heard Sam describe this scene at this point upwards of

187
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: a dozen times, and each time I do believe it

188
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: more because I see it even more and more through

189
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: Sam's eyes, to the point where I would like you

190
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: by the time we hit thirty thirty five accountings of

191
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: this scene, I would like to get to the point

192
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: where I literally have a photographic memory of exactly Sam's

193
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: experience of the scene. It's it was very powerful. Julio.

194
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: We didn't ask how are you doing? I'm fine. Are

195
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: you tired? No, No, I'm not. You're sure you're not pretending.

196
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm not pretending. I'm not tired. M just seem kind

197
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: of tired. You know what I will say. I am

198
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: on the upswing. I think this this the energy is

199
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: contagious in this room, and I am ready to rumble,

200
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: I have to say, just to be clear. Also, yeah,

201
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: I like to keep my guests honest. Um, Julio is

202
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: in a dark room. Lights are getting dimmer. Yeah, his

203
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: head is leaning on um a couch cushion, but very

204
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: very casually, as if about to take a napp. No,

205
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: I'm very await, it's very you know, a couple of

206
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: face timing before bed. This is what you if it

207
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: was making another kind of in bed with the headphones,

208
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: being like, tell me one more thing. I just I mean,

209
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: you know what I look like, I and and yeah,

210
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: why pretend that I don't want to leave? Sure, yeah

211
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: I have. I I take whole school meetings like horizontal,

212
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: sometimes like utterly horizontal, like like completely like professional like production.

213
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm just like, it's interesting how the fine line between

214
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: that being unprofessional and that being actually the opposite of

215
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: that being like it's such a power move that by

216
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: doing that, you actually are exerting your power over everyone

217
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: else in the zoom. I have to to you know,

218
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Julio says. You know, I know this because when we

219
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: were on Fire Island, Julio would literally be in the

220
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: living room on the floor like well like uh, what

221
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I assumed to be an important call for like two

222
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: hours at a time, with like you know, the gay

223
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: masses just sort of like trouncing behind him, making sandwiches

224
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: like they're various toasts and coffees. And it was like,

225
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I was like, do they not mind? Like this feels

226
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: in my mind this is illegal. Why would they mind?

227
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're getting all the answers they need.

228
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: Why would they mind? Do they hear us in the background. See,

229
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: this is the thing with like this is people that

230
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: really have taken advantage of um COVID working environments that

231
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm very jealous of the fact that you're like, Okay,

232
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: this is the world we live in now. Everything is remote,

233
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: everything is on zoom. So I'm gonna, you know, take

234
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: the call in the living room while a threesome is

235
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: happening next to me. I'm going to travel while you know,

236
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: editing my my show, whereas I Whereas when you don't

237
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: have the kind of confidence to do things like that,

238
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,239
Speaker 1: the actual work from home paradigm becomes even more oppressive

239
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: because rather than at least leaving the house, I just

240
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: want to note, you are currently eating a snack of something.

241
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: This is the way this is elevating. We're like saying,

242
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: like he's always doing these calls. As George was talking,

243
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: you would have gotten up and and gotten a snack

244
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: still food. Of course. I am now remembering, and it's

245
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: actually it's it's what the kids call core memory on loss.

246
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: I am remembering the first time you did this podcast

247
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: where you announced in the beginning quite simple your computer

248
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: was not plugged in and was not with the intention

249
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: of you know, hold on let me get a charger,

250
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: just kind of like letting you guys know, this is

251
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: the current situation. It will run out. I feel like

252
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: that was very professional in my part, letting you know

253
00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: my limitations. So it was certainly transparent and open. Yeah honest.

254
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if that translates to professional. I think

255
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm a very honest person. Yeah I agree with that. Yeah. No,

256
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: no one's saying you're not honest, except I did call

257
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: you dishonest when you said you weren't tired. I just

258
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: wasn't quite buying it. I am, I am really not tired.

259
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: I actually am not buying it. I really I think

260
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: it was not tired. I am, I am not tired.

261
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: I had my required eight hours of sleep. I had

262
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: to wake up earlier than I hoped I would because

263
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm working remotely with someone who's in Denmark, so I

264
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: have to wake up the crack of dawn and like

265
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, be like awake at like eight thirty um,

266
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: which is unfathomable to me. Then I worked and then

267
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: I took a nap. Oh my, I'm very I'm actually

268
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: very represhed. I had a green team. But see it's Sam.

269
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: You were reading the knap position as like, oh my god,

270
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: he is literally, but in fact it was just like

271
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: you're so comfortable that, like, why not be in that position?

272
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: You're right, I was putting too much stock in the

273
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: physicality and I shouldn't have never judged you by the

274
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: way you're laying your head on a couch. Yeah, so

275
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: let that be a lesson. Should we do our first segment?

276
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, we absolutely should. Okay. Would you

277
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: like to explain it, Julio. Our first segment is called

278
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: straight Shooters, and in it, um, we like to gauge

279
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: your familiarity and complicity in straight culture by asking you

280
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: a serious, rapid fire questions. Basically, this thing or this

281
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: other thing, got it? And the and the one rule,

282
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: of course is you can't ask any follow up questions

283
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: about how the game works. Understood? Okay, George, Will you

298
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'll say is trying to rank your

299
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: performance on a scale of zero to one thousand doves.

300
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: It almost felt like you were so confident and and

301
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: and so you so clearly had played the game before

302
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: you knew what to expect that I almost felt like

303
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: it was almost the thing of like you're doing. It

304
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: was too rehearsed. It was Lady Gaga doing Stars Born.

Speaker 1: What do you think Lady Gaga doing the Stars Breast

307
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: performance at the hospital of Shallow, So a little bit

308
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: of both the intersection of both of those. We have

309
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: protection of both of those things. Yeah, okay, And for

310
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: that reason, I would say it was a nine hundred

311
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: dubs a thousand okay. Yeah. See, how do you feel

312
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: about that um read of you? I would agree, Yeah,

313
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: I I don't like over rehearsed. I like um, I

314
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: like seeing the scots take a little bit, if you

315
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm exactly and I do. But I I

316
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: think that like the the options that you gave me

317
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: were so distinct that it was very each see for

318
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: me to pick which ones because there were a lot

319
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: of them were mystical and spooky versus mundane and I

320
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: always went for the mystical and the spooky. And you're

321
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: also pointing to something that I will cop to, which

322
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: is that we also maybe the two of us also

323
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: felt too rehearsed and didn't we didn't really laugh at

324
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: our own jokes. We weren't being uh Sam, No, you're

325
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: just a right. I hadn't even thought about my own

326
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: reaction and that, No, we there's almost something where I

327
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 1: was like, as I was doing it, I was At

328
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: some point at the end, I even like cut Julio

329
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: off as he was still talking. We were kind of

330
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: like trying to get through it or something. It was

331
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: like an eye exam. Yeah, oh my god, what's what's

332
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: happened to us? Yeah? Like what there's something where I

333
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: wonder what it is. We have become too professional? I

334
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: think so, I really do think. I'm like, I'm like,

335
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: where is what do I do? What? What do I

336
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: do to get back that kind of youthful energy I

337
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: had um in my early teens when we started this podcast.

338
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: Do you think it's Do you think it's the it's

339
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: the more professional setup that you have now that you

340
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: you're like part of a podcast something. What's the what's

341
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: the thing that Bill Farrell isn't? I don't think so.

342
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: I think better believe it's both. Okay, yeah, yeah, are

343
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: you getting comfortable with well? You know, I mean I

344
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: do think the fact that Will calls us personally after

345
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: every episode and blows smoke up her ass is not helping,

346
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: not at all. Yeah. Yeah, no, I mean the daily flowers,

347
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: the daily flowers from Will, the calls. You know, it's

348
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where I'm like, I can't talk

349
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Like I actually have other jobs, I

350
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: have other things. I have a family I can't sort

351
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: of unpack. And yeah, we're we're grateful for everything, But um,

352
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: this can't be your whole life is straight a lab.

353
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like he is organized his entire

354
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: life around the recordings of this podcast. Was the great question,

355
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: Um we get him on, get him on to answer that.

356
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there was no there never was. That's surprising.

357
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Do you know maybe if he wasn't spending all his

358
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: time producing this podcast, he would have time to make

359
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: a sequel to ELP. Yeah, but no, I do think

360
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: we're pointing to something. What do you think, Sam? Like,

361
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, there needs to be some kind of unexpected

362
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: you know, someone needs to walk into one of our

363
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: rooms a room, oh you know, we yummy and like

364
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: a roommate walking in or like yes, oh yeah, because

365
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: then then I know, I'm like talking through friends if

366
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: like suddenly like Sam has to send up and like

367
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,600

00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: just can't wait. I can't wait and then come out. Sorry, guys,

369
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: we really need to I mean it's maybe other people,

370
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: other professionals out there struggle with this. How do you

371
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: channel your twenty two year old self while working at

372
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: the bank, while working as a middle school teacher. Yeah,

373
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: you show up my answers with glee. You show up

374
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: late or announced that you have to be early. Okay, yeah,

375
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: you know. Also okay, and this is like actually reality,

376
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: I'd say, because we used to record these on Saturdays

377
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: around noon. We were chance, we were hungover, which which

378
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: you famously loved. Which Yeah, it was both the kind

379
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: of anything goes looseness of being hungover combined with the

380
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: old of caffeine from you know, the coffee you have

381
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night, And so the energy was really

382
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: like we're at brunch. You know what it is. It's

383
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: the difference between brunch and after work drinks. After work

384
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: drinks are obviously fun, like you're excited to be after

385
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: you know, you're excited that work is over. You're excited

386
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: you're having a little drink, but you're still wearing your blazer.

387
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Can you guide me through this? Afterwork drinks a concept

388
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: you speak of like are you are you? Are you

389
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: getting drinks with your coworkers, are you getting drinks with

390
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: other friends? Drinks a your coworkers, right. Oh see, I

391
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: was thinking, like you are you are a lawyer. Your

392
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: friend is also you know, a business person, and the

393
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: two of you leave the offices and then get drinks,

394
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: but you're both still wearing the skirt suits and you're

395
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: like at the house sport closely your office or whatever exactly. Yeah,

396
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: or you're like at some random bar and like a

397
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: like a bad part of you know, like a lame

398
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: part of Chelsea. There's this bar called good Night's Sunny

399
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: and I once went there many years ago at a

400
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: day job. Went went there and it was all people,

401
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: all like guys wearing khakis and blazers and women wearing

402
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: a skirt suit. And it's like it's kind of a

403
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: midway point between a work event and a playtime event.

404
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: There's this place that I have been to in that

405
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: context called Bill Frescos mm hmm, sull crushing. I can

406
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: picture it. Yeah, absolutely, sul crushing. I know at that

407
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: point you're like, well I might as well, just you know,

408
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: I'm craving at least the certainty of a conference room

409
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: where I know what the expectations are. Yeah, it's it's

410
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: just sort of it's like a little Stockholm syndrome. Right,

411
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, like, let's keep this going. No,

412
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: I afterward drinks is like the entire fantasy for me.

413
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: That's like such like I can see it all the time.

414
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: Have you ever had have you ever? I don't think

415
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: that in the time that I've known you, you've had

416
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: like a job that was so structure that it warned

417
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: afterword drinks. No, I've never had like a full like

418
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: office job. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that the afterword

419
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: drinks is a it's it's PTSD from the tyranny of

420
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: a hyper structured life. Yeah. Well, it can be one

421
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: of two things. It can either be if it's the

422
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: right kind of afterwork drinks, it can be a really

423
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: nice reentry into the non work world. You're like excited

424
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: to see a college friend, You're excited to finally let

425
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: loose after day of work, and so you're like, oh great,

426
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm jump starting the non work part of my day.

427
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: Or if it's with a colleague or with someone else

428
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: in a professional context, it can be actually an extension

429
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: of the work day, and then that is bad. How

430
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: long have you had a structured you seem like you

431
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: have you see it seems like your job is actual

432
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: pretty structured, right, Well, I'm currently I mean my current

433
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: job is pretty structured because I work as an editor.

434
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: So it's like very like and like same with any

435
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: writer rooms I've been in, and same with any day

436
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: jobs I've had. Really like a writer's rooms are crossing

437
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: the snacks absolutely absolutely brutal. When you walk into like

438
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: a poorly lit conference room and they have like sat

439
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: little snacks. It's like, this is not how you make art,

440
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this is, yeah, I

441
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: need to starve your pointing to something, this party point

442
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: something kind of bleak, which is like I feel like

443
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: when you're on the outside of that, you think that's

444
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the goal and you really think like that's what happiness

445
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: will be. And then to get to a writer's room

446
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: and realize it's an office job in like a little

447
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: most classic sense, a little inanyard. I think that I

448
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: subconsciously did to just sort of preserve my spirit when

449
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: I when I like worked at a writer's room, was

450
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: always losing my id and just like and in having

451
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: me and too a thirty rock be a whole to

452
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: do every time, and you were looking for a exitement

453
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, I locked it again. Sorry,

454
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: Like you know who I am? Though, Can I just

455
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: go in? No text, I'm going to be late. Text.

456
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't come to the meeting. Text they won't

457
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: let me in because it's like yeah, oh my god,

458
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to clip it on my belt.

459
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't have a belt. No, well you have some belts.

460
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: I've seen you wear belts. Yeah, you certainly own belts. Yeah,

461
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: but they're like fun belts. I mean, don't you think

462
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: that's not I mean, that's not just writer's room. It's

463
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: like any any job as a kid, any job that

464
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: you as a kid dream of having, is immediately less

465
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: glamorous once you get it. And so then this is

466
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: like the missing link and all the like debate about

467
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: whether we should return to the office or whatever. It's like,

468
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: the issue is not the location. The issue is just

469
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: like the fact of having a job. Yeah, this is um,

470
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: what's the hold you about this? The like concept of evolution?

471
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: Uh where like where the one where like so many

472
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: species when they complete, like they evolve into crab, it's

473
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: called like parallel evolution or something where like like a

474
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: lot like a certain percentage of species will always evolve

475
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: into crab and that's it's like a huge number and

476
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of surprising, and it's sort of like every

477
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: job evolves into advertising, like that is a pinnacle. Yeah,

478
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: like you think you're going a different direction and the

479
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: endpoint is always still just walking advertising. Yeah, you're just

480
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: like taking a really long route. I remember. I do

481
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: think one of the main reasons to literally be a

482
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: doctor is that you don't accidentally end up in advertising.

483
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: And it's like it's one of the only things you

484
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: can do that you can at least confirm that you

485
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: will not end up working in advertising. No, no one

486
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: else to say even that. I'm like, you have to

487
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: be a specific kind of doctor, like you have to

488
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: be like because then because then you might you might

489
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: start courting, like courting pharmaceutical companies or going to like conferences. Yeah,

490
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: well that's scary. Yeah. I do want to address Hulio

491
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: that at this point the sun has gone down and

492
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: you truly look like you're in the Blair Witch project. Well,

493
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: it's and I'm not saying that with any judgment i

494
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: I but I am just saying it is it looks

495
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: like a horror movie a bit. And it also it's

496
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: difficult to see your facial expressions, which then makes it

497
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: difficult to react. Well, yeah, this is an audio medium,

498
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: that's right, and and and maybe by putting ourselves in

499
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: the shoes of our listeners not being able to see

500
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: your face, we will reach new heights of of the

501
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: podcasting arts. Confirmed. Um, Julio, would you like to tell

502
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: us what your topic is actually? Yes, reservations and sort

503
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: of what led you to reservations today? Well, I don't

504
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: know how I fel like I I hate reservations. I

505
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: hate having to make reservations. I immediately resent hearing there's

506
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: a reservation. I hate being asked, do you have a reservation?

507
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: And I it's it's so, it's just so um. It

508
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: just comes from a point of like craving structure, and

509
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: I feel listening about r s V ping, like hey

510
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: you having our SUP It's like, okay, well I may come,

511
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: it may not come. I don't know, like I'm gonna

512
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 1: like you need to stop breathing down my neck. And

513
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: it's like if if you if you really need an answer,

514
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: because there's like preparation that will go into me showing up.

515
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: We're not showing up. It best sort of makes the

516
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: question like, why are you doing that? Why are you

517
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: doing that? No one asked you to do this. I

518
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: I didn't say, hey, they're better be food when I

519
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: show up, you know what I mean? I didn't. I

520
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: wasn't like, so, what are you going to do? Prepare

521
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: for me? Like, don't prepare for me, and I may

522
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: show up and it may not show up. I would

523
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: like to walk us through the alternative how you would

524
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: like what your ideal planning for an event would look like, Hey,

525
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be here at this place, Come if you want, right,

526
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: end of story, and you figure it out. You you

527
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: figure out your life. I really like I I couldn't

528
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: care less, right, Um, this is reminding me of actually,

529
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: like your free love approach to even a meal is

530
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: shocking to me. How so we actually planned a dinner

531
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: one night on fire and so I actually got to

532
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: sort of get a peek behind the curtains sort of

533
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: a Katy Perry documentary of Julio at a grocery store.

534
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I was paralyzed in the store saying,

535
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, well, how many people sort of what are

536
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: we going to try to make? Julia said, oh, grab

537
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: some cheese. Oh, I don't know, grab a piece of

538
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: bread like Julio was like going through the store just

539
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: sort of grabbing whatever and then sort of writing a

540
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: narrative around the pieces that were grabbed after they were Well,

541
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: it's it's I mean, don't you think that's healthier to

542
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: like not walk into a situation with expectations and a

543
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: list of things you need, but rather see, rather allowing

544
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: yourself to be surprised by the experience. Hold on, I

545
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: just want to ask one follow up question, which is,

546
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: what how did the meal turn out? Oh? My god,

547
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: the meal. We invented a new food. Okay, So let's backtrack.

548
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: And the reason why we did this is because our

549
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: friend and I'm assuming front to the podcast, Max Twitard,

550
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: well enemy of the he's not allowed okay. Uh, Max

551
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: basically dared us too. For Sam and I took a

552
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: meal for our friends. It is so toxic. Sam and

553
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: I just don't never cook. We we just never cooked.

554
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Sam has, Sam has Misha, and I have restaurants, so

555
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: like we don't, we don't cook. So okay, Sam explained

556
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: what we made. We met a food, so we emended

557
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: new food. It's called sleeves and it's sweeping the nation.

558
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually, I just want you both to know I'm

559
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: already stressed and almost angry actually about the story, so

560
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: please contain. I enjoyed. I enjoyed everything that had to

561
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: do with making meal, except for like being in the kitchen,

562
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: like making it. I hated, Like you guys, literally you

563
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: both need to become like cooks in the military for

564
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: six months. I hate No, I have one, nothing to

565
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: do with the military. But they're just like, yeah, I

566
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: don't know, just like I just hate chores. I don't

567
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: find them fun. I don't find them relaxing, and it

568
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: brings me no pleasure for someone to say, this is

569
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: really good, thank you, It brings me no pleasure. I resented.

570
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: In fact, yeah, do you have any desire to please

571
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: other people? Well, sexually, of course, yes, have they been

572
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: like you must have douced. Everyone in the house would

573
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: have been you would have loved that. I would have

574
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: loved that. That's great if every every night it was

575
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: another person's turn, Okay, tonight, it's totally has turned us

576
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: to do everyone in the house. Yeah, exactly, then I

577
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: would have you know, I would have I would have

578
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: really enjoy it, but like, yeah, oh, god it. But anyway,

579
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: we need sleeves, which uh so our in our restaurant

580
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: was we actually did a pop up a sleeve pop up, okay,

581
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and it was called Brooklyn Sleeve co it was called

582
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: the brook Yes, I mean honestly, so far it's pretty

583
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: kind of marketable. Not to bring it back to advertising,

584
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: but I do want to know what a sleeve is.

585
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: So a sleeve is so you can you can pick

586
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: between three different kinds of sleep. So step one steps right,

587
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: because because yeah, you know, like so how the menu

588
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: works is there are three steps how we do things

589
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: a little bit different? Well actually because you know, like

590
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Americans love their cages, right, and it's like you you

591
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta structurate for them. If they don't feel

592
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: like they're at an airport there there, they they're scared,

593
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: so we have to structure it for them. But then

594
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: they also need to have a slight level of choice

595
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: so that they can still feel Yeah. So okay, so

596
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: step one is you pick your sleep. And your sleep

597
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: can either be corn no, it can be corn yeah

598
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: large or diet. Wait, so this is the wrap that

599
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: your sleep goes in, and so that's the sleep. So

600
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: it's either it's not the it's not it's the sleep. Oh,

601
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: it's a tortilla. Got it. So so it's either a

602
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: quaran tortilla, flower tortilla, or a large flower tortilla. No,

603
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: it's either no, no corn sleeve, a large sleep, or

604
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: a diet. I'm starting to realize that you you guys invented.

605
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and guess kind of mediocre tacos. No. No,

606
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: because these they're international. They're they're pulling from all different cultures.

607
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: And you can culture because that's the next that's the

608
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: next step, right, It's like, okay, I'm sorry, I will

609
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: stop interrupting. So, so the first step is you choose

610
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: your sleeve and its corn medium or large. No you're not,

611
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: it's corn, diet or large. I got it. Okay, okay,

612
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: So then you pick your fillings. So then you pick

613
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: which nation you want your sleeve to be from, not

614
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: nation region, okay, and what are the region because sleeves

615
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: have no borders. The regions are normal. Well, now this

616
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: is getting to be a little problematic. See that's actually

617
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: that's a red herring. But keep going normal, um Italian,

618
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: Italian or American? All American? Okay? And would you like

619
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: to maybe explain what each of those entails or is

620
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: it kind of self explaining? Well, normal, normal is, you know,

621
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: a normal sleep is obviously like uh beans, cilantrow, uh peppers.

622
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: We were kind of we were inspired by the flavors

623
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: of a taco for that one. So normal is one

624
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: could say, kind of leaning Latin American. Sure one could

625
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: say it, and I don't. I'm sorry. I keep trying

626
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: to put a label on things. I don't know if

627
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: you can say that. Because these said, these were mading

628
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: Long Island. I should I should actually just be really

629
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: comfortable with the with the label that you guys should

630
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: normal normal And then Italian we had I believe meat

631
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: because that's one of the things that spoke to me

632
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: at the at the I assumed pre made no offense,

633
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: pre made Yeah, what do you mean? The door made them,

634
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: you know normally. If not to brag, but when I

635
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: make meat bolls in fact make them myself. They're not

636
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: like a frozen me like you like you kill you know,

637
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: like I buy meat and then I mix it with

638
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: you know, onions, you know, spices and whatever, and I

639
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: rolled it in all I don't I don't know me

640
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: so like right, okay? Uh? And and then all Americans

641
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: was I think sausage. I think American cheese made hot dog.

642
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: Actually there was a hot dog too. No, no, that's

643
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: that's part of the All American sleeve. But then if

644
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: if you're vegan, you can replace any of the needs

645
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: with Oh I'm forgetting about the best part. Okay, So

646
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: for for just two more dollars, you can add guawk

647
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: or awakened guak. Yeah, and awakened gualk is guawk with ginger.

648
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: Is this right? Ginger? And you can add the the

649
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: awaking block or the glock to any redson you want. Hey,

650
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: waken gwak is just an awesome way to get like

651
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: a certain boost of energy and clarity. Yeah, it's good

652
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: for the mon right, So it's more it's kind of

653
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: a supplement. Yeah, I mean it's we have health in

654
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: mind first and foremost. But if but if you if you,

655
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: if you don't want meat, you can replace any of

656
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: the meat with cashew. Oh cool. So just to recap,

657
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: you choose to leave and it can be corn diet

658
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: or large. And then you choose a filling which can

659
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: be Norman Italian a region excuse me, which is can

660
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: be normal Italian or all American. Then on top of that,

661
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: you can choose an additional topping, which is quawk, and

662
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: if you're a vegan, you can replace any of the

663
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: meats with cashews. Well that is the second step. I

664
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: believe the third step was tagus us on all socials.

665
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: And now we're back to advertising. We're back to advertise.

666
00:40:54,680 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: I know, Oh my god, Sam's right. It actually was

667
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: a hit. Everyone everyone loved this, saying how good the

668
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: sleeves were, and uh, we had them eating their damn

669
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: words along with the sleeves because they thought we were

670
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: all going to fail and they were going to starve.

671
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: So I saw a couple of people make trips to

672
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: the kitchen and do something through the sleeves and come back.

673
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not right. Yeah, that's not sure they were

674
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were just them taking better photos for

675
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: the social y. Yeah the lighting was better in the kitchen. Yeah,

676
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: um we and we actually should have made dessert sleeves.

677
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: Oh that's fun. And now what would those look like?

678
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Do you think in terms of steps and categories, I

679
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: think it's like maybe it's like chocolate or all natural,

680
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: which would be maybe like Parisian, Parisian, Parisian. What's what's

681
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: in the Parisian what's the Parisian A crepe with like,

682
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: um oh, okay, that's good. I don't know something. Yeah, okay.

683
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Desert sleeves are you pick your sleeve which is either

684
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: crepe or regular sleep, in which case you're just having

685
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: a meal. Again, for it's a savory if you choose regular.

686
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: If you choose regular, then you're right back to square

687
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: one and you have to choose. So regular has those

688
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: three options, and then the other option is French, Parisian Parisian. Yeah,

689
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: specifically Parisian, not the rest of France. Okay, it's a

690
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: really specific region. And so then when you choose Parisian,

691
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: then the sub options there are chocolate, all natural and

692
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: double Parisian grape. Yeah exactly. Yeah, that's beautiful. I think

693
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: what I learned most from this business venture was we

694
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: actually found at the end of the meal and sort

695
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: of an m night Shamalon style twist. So we thought

696
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: our diet wraps were our diet sleeves were um let

697
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: us wraps. Turns out the whole time they were cabbage.

698
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: And I learned the cabbage and lettuce are two distinct

699
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: different vegetables. I'm going to kill you both. It was delicious.

700
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: It was delicious. So there's something about cooking not being

701
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: And I hate that I feel this way because it's

702
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: so prescriptive. It's like, what do I care that that

703
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: both of you don't cook? But but in my mind,

704
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, you are missing like a big part of

705
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: the experience of of life. Now all my other experience

706
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: are heightened because of it. You think, so, yeah, you're

707
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: actually having you're actually having the best you know, you

708
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: have the best life, the best sex, the best kind

709
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: of like career everything because you don't cook. Because I don't,

710
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm not spending like so much time being this like

711
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: like oh god, okay, now I have to go to

712
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: the supermarket and I have to get all the little

713
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces for me to arrange my sad little puzzle

714
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: at home, and then like feed myself. It's yeah, no,

715
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: who is time for that? I mean, that is the

716
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: big question is who has time for that? And that's

717
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: why that and that's how we get to this problem

718
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: of reservations. Because you are eating out at Michelin Star

719
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: raided restaurants every night of the week, three times a day,

720
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: three times a day, and we are talking, we are

721
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: talking reservations that need to be booked ahead of time

722
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: by a team of assistance. Yeah. You have a breakfast team,

723
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: a lunch team, and a dinner team, and their jobs

724
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: are just booking reservations. And so Miriam at Julio's Dinner

725
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: dot com. Yeah yeah, And and let me tell you something,

726
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: she's a real bit really, she takes it seriously. She

727
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: has made she's she has made people of the restaurant

728
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: industry because they're like I can't deal with like, I

729
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: got into this because I want to have like because

730
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: I believe food brings people together. I think she got

731
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: into it because she likes to see me eat. Well

732
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: she did, but I'm saying that people the people that

733
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: have quit but because of yea, So okay, if you don't,

734
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: I want to know a little bit, like what's straight

735
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: about reservations to you? Just the obsession with planning things out,

736
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: the like needing to know where you're going to be

737
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday night or something, lack of spontaneity. Uh, just

738
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: just like something else to put on your on your calendar. Yeah,

739
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: it's like you know, you know those kids in schools

740
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: who like love buying, like planners and like writing things

741
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: on the It's just like, what what are you planning for?

742
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: So would you say like you kind of wake up

743
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: and then the correct things come to you at the

744
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: correct times, and you just kind of go through a natural,

745
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: intuitive series of actions. Yeah, it's very Yeah, it's very

746
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: free flowing. Yeah, yeah, I would this is true for you.

747
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm realizing the Julio. The Julio texts are can you

748
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: hang out right now? Yeah? Some board right now. It's

749
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: always kind of shocking to me. I'm like, don't you

750
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: don't want to plan even a little bit plan plan right,

751
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: but but it's you know, it's it just it's just

752
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: so tedious you kind of I think what I'm getting is,

753
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: like you kind of planning is inherent. You want to

754
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: maximize the positivity and you know, you want to maximize

755
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: the number of things you're doing that make you feel happy,

756
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: and planning is never going to make you feel good.

757
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like busy work and logistical work

758
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: that you have to do. So if you just like

759
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: don't do that and keep at every moment doing the

760
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: thing that you want to be doing. Also, that's better. Yes,

761
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: but also I think I enjoy um discovery and possibilities

762
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: and if you and serendipitous, yeah, I feel ah, then

763
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: it's like this. Yeah. No, so I will say in

764
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: the restaurant world, I think there's a toxic other side

765
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: to someone's busting my door. Who could it be? Think

766
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: that is? I have no idea answer? Yeah, answer while

767
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: you're on the pod bringing the computer. Okay, I'm bringing

768
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: the computer. This is the edge we need. Oh my god,

769
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: this is we said from the beginning. We want someone

770
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: to enter the partmo to see who it is. He's

771
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: walking around in complete darkness. It's literally complete darkness. Hello, Okay,

772
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is, but I'm okay, this

773
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: is so perfect. Ask them their name and um, their sexuality. Well,

774
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: I think I think that. Um, you know, I hate

775
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: to break it to you. It's probably going to be

776
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: a big bumber, but I think it's just someone delivering

777
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: something to a neighbor. I kind of not even to

778
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 1: me because I didn't. I didn't. I have not asked

779
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: for anything. No, Well, you would never order something ahead

780
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: of time. Well that's the other thing about cooking, is okay.

781
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the other thing. That's the other thing

782
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: about cooking is why would I plan for food when

783
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm not hungry? I just just one quick introjection is

784
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: just for the lizards at home. You stood up and

785
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: so at any given point you could have turned the land.

786
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: You actually stood up and went to the door. It

787
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: is now it is completely pitch dark, and you decided

788
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: to then just go right back to the couch. Night

789
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: is dark and and and and day is right. It's like,

790
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: why just don't fight it? Yeah? Yeah, who takes a

791
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: bold empty light stance on stradio lap this week? Just

792
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: when you thought the takes couldn't couldn't get hot again?

793
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: Here he is. So I want to know. So reservations

794
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: are straight? I want to know because to me, the

795
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: alternatives reservations then often is you go somewhere and you

796
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: are told the weight is two and a half hours.

797
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: But what if you want to eat there? Yeah? What

798
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: do you want to eat there? But I think what

799
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm running up against is like you don't want to

800
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: plan ahead, but then you do want to like go

801
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: to like three different restaurants and be told like, no,

802
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: not here, we have an hour wait, we have a

803
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: forty five minute wait. We have a two hour Wait,

804
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: what if you just planned ahead and then I didn't

805
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: have to do that whole that that whole process. But

806
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: you just walk into a deli and see what they

807
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: have there. I think, okay, isn't like restaurants period. I

808
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: now I'm understanding. What's happening is that you don't care

809
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: about food quality. No. I just I just want to

810
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: get it over with. I just I just want them. Yeah, okay,

811
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: that's I think that's that's to get over. But I

812
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: also don't like. I don't like my tickets ahead of time.

813
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't like, you know, for things that I do enjoy, right,

814
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: I do enjoy go to the movies. I do enjoy parties,

815
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: I do enjoy going to be but I don't like

816
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: the I don't take us ahead of time because like, wait,

817
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: someone stuck with me, hello again? Has seven thirty let's

818
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: say seven seven, okay, because it's seven or seven now? Okay? Sorry, wow, wow,

819
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: someone's planning ahead. I know, I know, No, I agree

820
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: with that. I hate when tickets go on sale for

821
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: something I want to go to because it's like two

822
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: months away and it's like I have no idea what

823
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be doing, Like, how would I know? Why

824
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: would I commit to something that I don't know what

825
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: I'll be doing that week? But it's something to look

826
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: forward to. I mean, don't you like being like looking

827
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: at your calendar and being like, oh my god, in

828
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: two weeks I get to see I get to see

829
00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: j Lo Lie. Sometimes I like it, but sometimes that

830
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: stresses me out too. If it's something I feel like

831
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm like in love with and I'm like, I know

832
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to freak out, then I'll look forward to it.

833
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: But even then looking forward to it kind of hurts too,

834
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: because it's like I wish it were today. Well, I

835
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: have never I I cannot recall the last time I

836
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: like saw a calendar and was excited for something that

837
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: was coming, you know what I mean. It's like it's

838
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: like because I never plan ahead that much because you

839
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: don't plan things you want to do, so the only

840
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: things on your calendar are like things you have to

841
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: do that have been added that are like meetings and stuff. Yeah,

842
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: well you have to reclaim the calendar, I guess. I see.

843
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: What's happening for you is that for you are the

844
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: calendar is a space of like you know, responsibilities and

845
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: obligations and and negative things, and you're like and so

846
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: you're like, anything good can only happen serendipitously or in

847
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: the moment. Yeah, I would say so, And why would

848
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: you want to pollute You're fun with the same structures

849
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: that make you unhappy. You know what I'm meaning? You

850
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: know why I think? I think. I like anticipation, I

851
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: like being I like being like it is today's Tuesday.

852
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm so excited that on Friday it's I'm going to

853
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: go to this party or I'm going to go to

854
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: this restaurant, and it gives me something to look forward

855
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: to during the week. That's nice. You don't relate to that, see,

856
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: but see I don't. I don't dislike my week. Okay,

857
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: sol he doesn't necessarily just like because we either don't

858
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: dislike my week. I'm just saying, Julio, be nice to

859
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: be tired. I'm saying, it's like, uh, a party happening

860
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the week doesn't excite me because

861
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: because you're literally constantly in a state of joy, because

862
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: everything you do is the best thing ever, and because

863
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: you are self actualized at all times. Is that what

864
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm hearing no, because I'm busy thinking about what I'm

865
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: doing right now. I see, so you have never thought

866
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: about the future, not in, not in. He can't wait

867
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: for that? Okay, Okay, all right, Sam, Okay, what about

868
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 1: like things like, say like your television show coming out,

869
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: Like were you looking forward to that date or were

870
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: you like? It's made and I'm happy with it. I

871
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: don't care anymore. Really, yeah, you don't. You don't care

872
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: about reaction or whatever. I was. I was very happy

873
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: and very excited to do it. That was like peak

874
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: joy for me associated with the show. It was doing it.

875
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: Now it's like, oh you want to see it? Okay,

876
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like and I'm a

877
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are liking it. I'm glad. I'm very

878
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: liking it. But but I think my joy comes from

879
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: doing things not so much like perception or reception. Interesting

880
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: say that now, wastually have a big flop on your hands?

881
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: I yeah, you know, I hope I never find out

882
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: when I have a big lop of my hands, you

883
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I mean, that is a way

884
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: a way to self preserve is you know, a method

885
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: of self preservation is like if you don't care about

886
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: positive reviews. Then you're also not going to care about

887
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: negative like if you never put any weight on that

888
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: to begin with, and you're not going to be disappointed

889
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 1: if in the future you make something that people hate. Yea, yeah,

890
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: here's hoping, here is hoping. So so what are takeaways

891
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: from this episode? I mean, it's just interesting because I'm

892
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm thinking about the reservations thing, and I'm like,

893
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: I think it's that you don't like restaurants. No, No,

894
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: it's not that I don't like planning. You don't like planning. Yeah, okay,

895
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: all right, okay, but you do buy tickets to go

896
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: to parties. I know this is per fact. Well okay,

897
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: and you also know that I that I I buy two, three, four,

898
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,959
Speaker 1: or five six tickets to a party and then often

899
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: forget about the party. Yeah, I do know that to

900
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: be true. Do you wanna kind of complicate this a

901
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: little bit? Because in my experience, for instance, I wasn't

902
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: there this year, but in the past when I've gone

903
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: to Fire Island with you, I do know that you

904
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: organize that way ahead of time. And in fact, both

905
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: this year and in the past, you have been the

906
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of point person who in fact planned ahead booked

907
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: a house and then like filled it out with people.

908
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of a pretty big responsibility. Well okay, so

909
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: here here is how that happens. Is that is my

910
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: way of avoiding an email change with a bunch of

911
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: people being like when do we go when it works

912
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: for you? What about this? What about that? So I

913
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: just I just walk into the little office, I say

914
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: I want this, I don't mind what dates. Just tell

915
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: me how much and then I leave. And then I

916
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: tell people when when the thing is and if you

917
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 1: want to come, great, If you don't want to come,

918
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: that's fine, you know what I mean. So it's like

919
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,919
Speaker 1: a way of like, so you're kind of you're doing

920
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: the minimum minimal amount of planning so that you can

921
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: avoid even more planning exact actually exactly yeah, wow wow

922
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: wow wow. But I do not I do not. I

923
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: do not like being the point person. I do not

924
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: like being point person. That that part I really don't like. Well,

925
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: and there, you know, you do somewhat give some responsibility

926
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: to others as far as like say you've you've hired

927
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe James in the past to sort of like figure

928
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: out who's going what weeks correct yes, well he's your

929

Speaker 1: other main employee. First you have the whole team of

930
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: people making reservations for you breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And

931
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: then there's James, who's in charge of the real estate

932
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: brand of your LLC. Right right, right, right, Yeah, we

Speaker 1: beach club. There's the beach Club. I love the beach Club. Yeah,

937
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to book, it's

938
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: only if you do it, if you do it after

939
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: two pm, it's only so many dollars. It's actually really

940
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: worth it. With one bottle from the company that brought

941
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: you sleeps comes mystery. Yeah, and it comes in, and

942

Speaker 1: it comes in three flavors bubbly, bubbly red, and ordinary

943
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: or refreshing refreshing. It's it's bubbly red or refreshing. And

944
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: you can get any of them in a non alcoholic yeah,

945
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: or with the awakened booster. Yes, that's right. It is

946
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: so funny. Throughout this entire podcast, I've kept being like, okay,

947
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: well it's dark out now. This is dark because it's

948
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna get and yeah, you have shown me that it

949
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: keeps getting darker and you keep getting more and more invisible,

950
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: and even it does sort of create an evil energy

951
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: on your end. I mean it is. I'm going to think,

952
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, I'm going to take a screenshot

953
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: I've actually I've taken to so far. I took one

954
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: like a half hour ago, and one now, which I

955
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: think will be huge. But yeah, the way the computer

956
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: is highlighting your face, it's it's kind of Joker's joke

957
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: video joker, or it's also video. It's like, this is

958
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: a video. Someone puts it in a VHS tape and

959
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: it's you and you're telling them what's going to happen.

960
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, someone some kids put a mystery video in

961
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: the VHS and it's that's radio app And if you're

962
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: explaining the concept of sleeves, it's if you watch this video,

963
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: you'll die in seven days. And then the video starts

964
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, so it's regular Italian, all American.

965
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: They're not countries. There are regions. Because sleeves have no border. Yeah,

966
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: that's it. On napkins, sleeves have no borders. Only buttons

967
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: wing Wow should final segment? You just remember what I

968
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: went to advertising school for two years. I completely forgot

969
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: about that. That's where it comes from. Yeah, this eye

970
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: towards branding and aesthetics, this obsession with whether it's something

971
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,959
Speaker 1: that's sellable or not. I couldn't just make a meal

972
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: for my friends. I have to launch a business exactly.

973
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't just be like, oh, maybe my friends will

974
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,919
Speaker 1: like eating this. I'm like, no, how is this going

975
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: to tack on socials? Yeah? Max was like, you know,

976
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: you guys have to cook, and Sam was like, maybe

977
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: we could do like a pasta and You're like, no,

978
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: we're launching a brand. Yeah, I mean literally that's what offen. Yeah,

979
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: well for a while, I want to do Thanksgiving? Right?

980
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that that? There was also talk

981
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: of doing Christmas in July. I think it was August. Me,

982
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: what are some Christmas? Well we would have had it's

983
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: essentially the same as Thanksgiving, but maybe do a big ham.

984
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: A big ham. I think meat is so funny. It's

985
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Julio really wanted to cook meat. Yeah, I

986
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: want to touch some meat, just to see. There was

987
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: also supposed to be a dress code for our dinner,

988
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: but we couldn't decide on which code to stick with

989
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: God to serve no offense, of course to the chefs,

990
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: but to serve what you have described and then make

991
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: people also dress in a dress code. It's truly adding.

992
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Was going to be, oh, yeah, we've got about the

993
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: dress codes, because well, there are three kinds of dress codes.

994
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: There's regular, there's pants. It was well, Julio pitched white party,

995
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: which I think is tasteful of show your pride. I

996
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: want to show your pride and you come as the

997
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: most you you can come as you know exactly. It's

998
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: so unimaginative. It's interesting the narrative of pride. Why wouldn't

999
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you want to become better? No, you need to love

1000
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: yourself and where whatever you love to. Two sleeves Brooklyn

01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: They're one block apart, block apart. We just love the

1005
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: punk rock spired of Williamsburg and want to embody that

01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:05,400

1011
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: final segment. Before we do. I want to just say

1012
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: this is definitely one of our more confusing episodes in

1013
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: a way that I really support. I think, Julio, you

1014
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,439
Speaker 1: helped us find our edge again. Julio, I cannot see

1015
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: you and haven't been able to for approximately forty minutes,

1016
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: but I want to thank you, and I want to

1017
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: and I would extend my gratitude towards you. You're welcome.

1019
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: let's see it. Let's see that grin. Oh my god.

1020
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Um okay, Julio. Our final segment is called shout Outs,

1021
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: and in it we give a shout out, sort of

1022
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: in an homlage to the classic street tradition, shout out

1023
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: to anything that we are enjoying. Oh that's nice. It's

1024
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: kind of a positive spin. Um. And imagine you're in

1025
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: TRL at Times square and two thousand one, shouting out

1026
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: to your squad back home, but about anything that you enjoy. Wait,

1027
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: can you guys go first? We're gonna go first. You

1028
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: would never do that, do you worry? George? Do you

1029
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: have one? Yeah? I have one? What's up hot slats

1030
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,919
Speaker 1: of the world and especially the Tri State area where

1031
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: we all hail from. I want to give a quick

1032
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: shout out to nonfiction. I recently rediscovered the joy of

1033
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: reading nonfiction. I'll say this much, and um, this is

1034
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,959
Speaker 1: coming from my heart and not just my brain. Every day,

1035
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: for my entire day, I am reading things around the

1036
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Internet because that is my job. And then I have

1037
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: to kind of think of new ways to put those

1038
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: things back in the Internet so that the content wars

1039
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: can continue it And so because of that, when I

1040
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: want to take a break, I usually turned to fiction

1041
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I can't read about the real world.

1042
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: You know, it makes me sad, it makes me annoyed,

1043
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: it makes you want to you guessed it kowing myself.

1044
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: And then recently I realized that nonfiction doesn't have to

1045
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: be unimaginative. It can also be artful. It can also

1046
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: have beautiful sentences. It can even remind you of fiction.

1047
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: So I am in my rediscovering nonfiction era. I am

1048
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: loving it. And Honey, if your book doesn't have real

1049
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: people that exist in the world and it has fake

1050
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: fictional characters, I don't even want to take a look

1051
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: at it for the next approximately three weeks. Um, okay,

1052
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: I'll go next. What's up New York City, l A

1053
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: And everywhere in between. I want to give a huge

1054
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: shout out to the vintage store down the street from me.

1055
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I think it's called Brooklyn Vintage. I just love their stuff,

1056
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: and I have a little hunch that everyone that works

1057
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,959
Speaker 1: there is in a cult. I have been going there,

1058
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,160

1059
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: it just seems that everyone's a little too committed. You know.

1060
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: I've worked places before, and I never liked my job

1061
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: that much, and I never took so much pride in

1062
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,439
Speaker 1: my store. And these people. Something's up. They all look

1063

Speaker 1: the same, they kind of dressed the same. Honey. I

1064
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,160

1065
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. There's a cult. There's

1066

Speaker 1: some spirits and I love their furniture, and um, I

1067
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: hope you guys get a dresser soon because I am

1068
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: in the market for one. Dressers are always ugly, and

1095
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: started out feeling like we were too professional, too button down.

1096
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Right now, I would say, I am in kind of

1097
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: uh ripped cargo pants in the middle of the desert,

1098
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,680
