Speaker 4: it away as an M A word don't that is?
Speaker 4: If anybody else has that, please reach out.
Speaker 2: I feel really alone in this and that was something,
Speaker 2: but I can't think of what it is, but I yeah,
Speaker 2: I do that with certain things where well, I have
Speaker 2: the thing where if I'm in a country where you're
Speaker 2: always driving on the opposite side of the car or
Speaker 2: the or the road, I will get in my head
Speaker 2: because I'll first go to the car and I'll go
Speaker 2: to the driver's thing that I'm used to, and so
Speaker 2: in my head early on in a new country, I'll
Speaker 2: say opposite, Nikki, opposite, It's always opposite. So then the
Speaker 2: second and third week, I'm like, I'm nailing it. But
Speaker 2: then I cement the opposite in my head as the normal,
Speaker 2: and I go opposite Nikki, and then I'll start going
Speaker 2: to the other side back to the original, because I
Speaker 2: have cemented the opposite, not the what the side.
Speaker 1: Is, right? Is that what it's called.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Chris Confey is visiting me here he got in.
Speaker 1: Friday. Did you go there just for Ani? Just for me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just for the reason special?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, another reason.
Speaker 7: I wanted to see Oppenheimer in the seventy Like the
Speaker 7: huge Imax. There's only like I think there's only like
Speaker 7: twenty of them in the country. In LA has four
Speaker 7: of them.
Speaker 1: Wow, And it's.
Speaker 7: Impossible to find two seats in a good spot at
Speaker 7: an imax. I mean they've got they've got showings at uh,
Speaker 7: you know, eleven am and twelve forty five pm, and
Speaker 7: still you can't yeah both, Yeah, who.
Speaker 1: Would want to do that?
Speaker 4: It's a three hour movie? I saw it? Did you
Speaker 4: see it? Can we talk about it?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 6: You don't want I haven't seen it. I can't. I
Speaker 6: can't find this.
Speaker 2: At least I'm not that sad that I don't have
Speaker 2: to watch a three hour movie. I would go with
Speaker 2: my boyfriend to anything, but three hours is a lot lot.
Speaker 8: Let me tell you this, this is not a spoiler.
Speaker 4: I did have a near not a conflict, but a discussion,
Speaker 4: a strong discussion with my sister about this because we
Speaker 4: were all visiting my parents its last week and Maya
Speaker 4: really wanted to go to the Imax in San Francisco,
Speaker 4: an hour from my parents' house or forty minutes to
Speaker 4: see Oppenheimer. And I'm like, these guys are eighty two
Speaker 4: years old. Let's just go to the nice big screen
Speaker 4: in San Jose at whatever mountain view shoreline. They have
Speaker 4: a huge screen, many huge screens.
Speaker 1: Let's just do that.
Speaker 4: Nope, I want to see the Imax, just like really
Speaker 4: driving with them for an hour and then it's a
Speaker 4: three hour anyway, here's what I have to report. It
Speaker 4: is perfectly fine to see Oppenheimer on the big screen.
Speaker 4: It is a grand film with grand themes of music
Speaker 4: and visuals like it's it's plenty big enough to see
Speaker 4: it on a normal big screen.
Speaker 1: Just don't go to go to the Imax. You don't know,
Speaker 1: and not.
Speaker 4: To see it, like your your senses will be tingling
Speaker 4: after just seeing it on like unless you I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's that worth it.
Speaker 3: It isn't the I'm trying to justify a like if
Speaker 3: you have a bad boyfriend. You're like, you can, you can.
Speaker 3: He's fine even though he's racist or whatever. It's good enough.
Speaker 3: You know, he takes it, pays for dinner.
Speaker 7: But aren't there those things that you want to see
Speaker 7: at the like their most at their like peak, the
Speaker 7: peak way of doing it. Yes, you know, like there's
Speaker 7: this there's a few things that you're like, I want
Speaker 7: to see, you know, it would be like seeing Bruce
Speaker 7: Springsteen at the Stone Pony would be exciting.
Speaker 4: But there's only one scene that that you would want
Speaker 4: to see it on Imax. The rest is just like
Speaker 4: dialogue that like you think it's gonna be bomb bomb,
Speaker 4: bom bomb.
Speaker 2: It's My friend Lizzie Cooperman said that there's one line
Speaker 2: that really bothers her in it, and it was like
Speaker 2: something she was like, it's too modern of a line.
Speaker 7: At the end of somebody goes Oppenheimer, You're the bomb
Speaker 7: that that was the end of the movie.
Speaker 2: It was like it's going to kill a lot of people, no,
Speaker 2: cap no, it was it was something like like Matt
Speaker 2: I didn't even know Matt Damon was in it until
Speaker 2: she told me that he says something like they were like, well,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be something about zero casualties or something. He
Speaker 2: says like zero would be good. It was something like
Speaker 2: some kind of line like that, like where she goes.
Speaker 2: This sounds too modern? What's going on here?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: They were talking like that in the Wendy's I heard that.
Speaker 2: There's music throughout the whole thing, and it's so intense,
Speaker 2: even in dialogue scenes.
Speaker 1: It's just the music never stops.
Speaker 2: Lizzy did say I saw three movies this weekend and
Speaker 2: it was Oppenheimer And it's so.
Speaker 1: True, dude, that's what I said.
Speaker 4: I'm like, Act three did not need to be there.
Speaker 4: It's like Act one and two are plenty.
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to see this movie. Did you?
Speaker 1: Is it changing your life? Did it change your life? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you thinking about it a lot? Like Barbie? I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about it like it was. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know who made this movie?
Speaker 3: Men?
Speaker 1: People who goes? You know?
Speaker 4: Who really wants to hear me talk and watch what
Speaker 4: I did for three out? It might have been three
Speaker 4: plus A man would be like a movie.
Speaker 1: I love movies made by a man.
Speaker 5: They're great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're for you.
Speaker 3: We can't just be watching Barbie every weekend. Sometimes you
Speaker 3: got a boxer who has an abusive abusive boxer or
Speaker 3: a Mafia movie. You can't just be watching Greta Gerwig
Speaker 3: and Francis Hi every weekend.
Speaker 6: I'm not a film.
Speaker 7: I'm not a film like nerd or geek or anything
Speaker 7: or like or director nerd. But there's something about a
Speaker 7: Christopher Nolan movie that you're like, I really have to
Speaker 7: I really want to see this really Yeah, Christopher Nowell,
Speaker 7: I think he's.
Speaker 4: Hard on soundtrack. Then that bothered me as a like
Speaker 4: a music person. Also HSP twenty five person.
Speaker 1: She scored a twenty five that's pretty high.
Speaker 4: It's so much, it's like also it's quick cut quick cuts,
Speaker 4: so you feel like you're watching a movie trailer for
Speaker 4: three hours. It's like scene with Matt Damon for two seconds.
Speaker 1: Wait, I kind of like EMI and you'll love it.
Speaker 4: It's three hours of that where you're like, you feel like, wait,
Speaker 4: when are we gonna get to like one scene of dialogue?
Speaker 2: Does Emily Blunt have to be in everything? Honestly? Does
Speaker 2: she have to be in every movie that men make?
Speaker 2: Men fucking love her? Like?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the way she talks with.
Speaker 2: Her teeth, kind of her lips kind of covering her
Speaker 2: teeth and she just looks. And then there's the one
Speaker 2: movie where she doesn't talk at all that they probably
Speaker 2: like the most, the quiet place or whatever. Like she's
Speaker 2: in everything? Isn't she in everything? And everyone loves her?
Speaker 2: And I'm sure she's great and she seems like a
Speaker 2: wonderful person. And I'm captivated every time I see her
Speaker 2: on reels and I watch anything because her face is beautiful.
Speaker 2: But isn't she in a lot of things? And isn't
Speaker 2: she the only action woman that even works anymore?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Like what happened Tomila Jove? Can we put her in
Speaker 5: some of these?
Speaker 1: For it's digastic? Some of them too. She's also over forty.
Speaker 5: Used to do Who's the New One? And to armis?
Speaker 5: I guess?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And sheild aged too.
Speaker 4: There's the Bond films.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she has quams.
Speaker 1: Oh she does? Oh big? You got a googlery?
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday we did something. I went with Brian and
Speaker 2: Chris and Brian's wife Ali.
Speaker 1: We all met up to go to Auschwitz. That's right.
Speaker 1: I don't think he went to Auschwitz. Well, they brought
Speaker 1: Aschwitz to us.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that we went there in our minds
Speaker 2: and our hearts and our souls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been wanting to go to this Auschwitz Museum
Speaker 3: exhibit for quite some time, and it's you know, there
Speaker 3: is it. It's at the Ronald Reagan Librarian Museum, which
Speaker 3: is in Simi Valley, California. Very interesting grounds and also
Speaker 3: extremely crowded and popular, which I had no idea people
Speaker 3: cared about this point Christ.
Speaker 2: They packed us in there like something that's a reference.
Speaker 2: It gave the full experience that was it was hard
Speaker 2: to get close to a plaque to read it.
Speaker 1: There were so many people there. It was sold out.
Speaker 6: Supposed to be.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be the final day of Auschwitz,
Speaker 3: but then they expanded it to January, so we got
Speaker 3: tickets to the last day that it was supposed to be.
Speaker 5: That's why I think it was so incredibly crowded.
Speaker 2: I think so it was they should have sold less
Speaker 2: tickets because that made it for not a great experience.
Speaker 2: It just you were constantly like maneuvering around someone who
Speaker 2: was spending too much time there to prove to you
Speaker 2: that they're sadder than you are. I just saw a
Speaker 2: lot of people just I think it's a now vitual
Speaker 2: reaction obviously, but I think there is some kind of
Speaker 2: performative thing going on in there or who are like
Speaker 2: who's the most bummed by it? All?
Speaker 1: Wins? Yeah, like who takes the most time? Who?
Speaker 4: Who?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people. I was just because I would.
Speaker 2: I would kind of zip through it a section that
Speaker 2: you know, there's too many plaques, too much reading, and
Speaker 2: you also have headphones. That's and you type in a
Speaker 2: number and it tells you it like speaks to you,
Speaker 2: so you can't read and also listen at the same time.
Speaker 2: So I would stand off to the side and just watch,
Speaker 2: and everyone does this thing.
Speaker 1: Of looking and then going.
Speaker 2: Shaking there and just shaking their head and looking up
Speaker 2: like God, and it's it. I understand because I caught
Speaker 2: myself doing it a couple times too, and it is
Speaker 2: so horrific that you do that at times. But I
Speaker 2: think it was performative at some points because people knew
Speaker 2: how crowded it was and there's everyone around. I wonder
Speaker 2: if people would go through by themselves, if we would
Speaker 2: have as much head shake it.
Speaker 1: You know what I think it is. I think think
Speaker 1: it's body language.
Speaker 9: It's like you communicating with the people around you without
Speaker 9: having to say anything.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: And I'm not here for any other reason than to
Speaker 2: be horrified. And I'm not here for morbid curiosity, which
Speaker 2: most Peomale are. I'm here to honor it and and yeah,
Speaker 2: which you know is a part of it. But I
Speaker 2: think most of the reason you go to the Auschwitz
Speaker 2: Museum is out of morbid curiosity.
Speaker 4: I would think you'd go to learn, or at least,
Speaker 4: did you guys learn anything you didn't learning?
Speaker 2: But like would you learn about something boring? I mean,
Speaker 2: this is there's nothing boring about you know what I'm saying, Like, well.
Speaker 6: It's learning.
Speaker 7: But I also think it's like I think it's like
Speaker 7: a responsibility that we all have to go and pay
Speaker 7: our respects to these these people and like so many
Speaker 7: of them were forgotten. But like by being there, it
Speaker 7: feels like, Okay, we're doing we're doing something for.
Speaker 2: Those looking at a shoe, I really did feel like
Speaker 2: a looking at a woman's shoe who's nameless, who will
Speaker 2: never know, but looking at her shoe, looking at the
Speaker 2: stitching on it, looking at the way like her bunyan
Speaker 2: kind of made the side of the leather poke out,
Speaker 2: like seeing the form of her foot made me feel
Speaker 2: very connected to that person and like, wow, if this,
Speaker 2: if I had this happen to me, I would wish
Speaker 2: someone would stare at my shoe and take their afternoon
Speaker 2: to like read about it.
Speaker 1: And that's the least you can do. And so it
Speaker 1: did feel that way.
Speaker 3: Aside from the people, there's a societal responsibility to understand
Speaker 3: the profundity of it all and just remember that it
Speaker 3: has happened and it's possible to happen, and it could
Speaker 3: happen again. And if we forget that it happened, then
Speaker 3: it could, you know, we could go down that road
Speaker 3: and not recognize the steps towards the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: And not and then it could happen again.
Speaker 7: That's like being reminded of those being reminded of those steps,
Speaker 7: you know, like the little indignities that led to like
Speaker 7: monstrous atrocities.
Speaker 6: Was it's shocking.
Speaker 7: It was just like the step by step by step
Speaker 7: until it was an absolute disaster.
Speaker 3: A lot of people have the question that like, well,
Speaker 3: how could you let this happen? Or why didn't you flee?
Speaker 3: Why didn't the people revolt? Stuff like that, and it's
Speaker 3: like you have to remember that back in the forties,
Speaker 3: the Holocaust hadn't happened yet. The idea that somebody would
Speaker 3: be taking millions of people to gas chambers to mask
Speaker 3: murder all of them was not even the concept that
Speaker 3: people had in their brains yet. So nowadays we know
Speaker 3: that that's something that's possible, that that could happen. And
Speaker 3: so if it could, if it happens again, or someone
Speaker 3: talks about it again, not in China, where it's happening currently,
Speaker 3: then we'll stop it from happening, or we'll at least
Speaker 3: have more knowledge to prevent the atrocities happening in China.
Speaker 3: There's genocides happening all over the world and they're just
Speaker 3: going on and there's nothing anybody can do about it,
Speaker 3: and it's horrible.
Speaker 9: There's a group of the Muslims who are being oh right,
Speaker 9: I love it.
Speaker 1: It's just like going, oh, yes, yes, that's like all
Speaker 1: I look up now, look up, look up, yes you
Speaker 1: shake your.
Speaker 7: Sorry, but did you guys read that one? Like Polish
Speaker 7: guy who's like, all right, I'm going to prove to
Speaker 7: people that this is a thing. He got captured for something.
Speaker 7: He went in there, he went into Auschwitz, he figured
Speaker 7: out a bunch of stuff, then escaped, then like wrote
Speaker 7: a book about it, then told, you know, told his government,
Speaker 7: told governments in London, and everybody's like, all right, fine,
Speaker 7: you know cool.
Speaker 6: I guess people didn't really believe it.
Speaker 1: And then he got Yeah, he did get hung. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of observations I have about the Auschwitz
Speaker 3: exhibit that were interesting. One is, when you go to
Speaker 3: the Ronald Reagan Museum. The round Reagan Museum has like
Speaker 3: Air Force one and it's a bunch of other things.
Speaker 3: The Auschwitz thing is just an exhibit. So in order
Speaker 3: to mark you as someone going to Auschwitz, they give
Speaker 3: you a sticker that you have to wear on your shirt.
Speaker 1: Is it a yellow star, It's a purple circle.
Speaker 3: It's a purple presence. Bisexual, yes, yeah, purple. No, there's
Speaker 3: no iron, just like, oh, you're going.
Speaker 1: To house stripe jumps suit, you're going to Auschwitz.
Speaker 3: Put on this sticker and that'll mark you as someone
Speaker 3: who And then and then you walk up to uh,
Speaker 3: you walk up to the entrance to the museum and
Speaker 3: there's a guard there, and the guard looks at your
Speaker 3: sticker and says, you go to the left Auschwitz, and
Speaker 3: the people who don't have stickers go to the right,
Speaker 3: which is the Air Force one plane.
Speaker 5: It's insane.
Speaker 1: Oh my crazy.
Speaker 3: Second place is there's guards in the Auschwitz exhibit, just
Speaker 3: sitting there, full uniform guards, like there's security guards, museum
Speaker 3: guards like Paul Blart, Mall Coop or whatever. And we
Speaker 3: were there at the last timed entry points, so the
Speaker 3: museum was closing at six. When it got into the
Speaker 3: five o'clock hour, the guard would stand up every ten
Speaker 3: minutes and say, all right, move it along.
Speaker 1: People like I.
Speaker 3: Would be literally like a game in the train car exhibit,
Speaker 3: and she'd be like, all right, let's go, come on,
Speaker 3: you gotta keep moving. You're not gonna be able to
Speaker 3: get through Auschwitz in time. It's like, do you not
Speaker 3: see then?
Speaker 1: Yes, I felt that same way. I didn't connect it.
Speaker 2: The last thing that I did connect with, like it's
Speaker 2: so this is so exactly what we're going through. Is
Speaker 2: when you have to give up your headset at the
Speaker 2: end and you throw it. There's a guy sorting all
Speaker 2: of the headsets and you just got done looking at
Speaker 2: people had to go through all the Holocaust victim's personal
Speaker 2: belongings and all the silverware and all the things they
Speaker 2: brought with them, just whatever they could grab, and they
Speaker 2: tried to burn it all, and all these things are
Speaker 2: mangled together because they tried, the Nazis trying to burn
Speaker 2: it all to get rid of the evidence. So there's
Speaker 2: like these spoons and like it looks like these art projects,
Speaker 2: just all this mangled metal. And then at the end
Speaker 2: you have to your fucking headset and he goes just
Speaker 2: throw it on the pile, and there's this like sad
Speaker 2: man sorting through all this stuff and it's literally three
Speaker 2: steps away from the mangled like shoes and all the
Speaker 2: things that people have to sort through and the bodies
Speaker 2: that they're sorting through and pulling them out, and like
Speaker 2: just the the headset cords being tangled. It was very
Speaker 2: visually like just what you had just seen. Kind of
Speaker 2: was there another one that you had, Brian before we
Speaker 2: go to the break.
Speaker 3: The third observation I had was it didn't seem like
Speaker 3: there are very many Jews in the Auschwitz exhibit. Like
Speaker 3: I'm looking around, I mean I didn't I didn't see
Speaker 3: anybody that looked Jewish. I saw a lot of people
Speaker 3: that probably aren't Jewish. Interesting, Yeah, I just want to
Speaker 3: care I'm Jewish. I was looking around and I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't see any Jews here, huh. And you're thinking
Speaker 3: it'd be all Jews, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think there's something really positive about that at a
Speaker 7: Ronald Reagan museum, that there's a lot of people that
Speaker 7: are like paying their respects and honoring what took place.
Speaker 7: One thing I found, like, you know, kind of amazing
Speaker 7: is how much the the the people, because you know,
Speaker 7: you got to listen to interviews and you would read
Speaker 7: about people that were like people everybody needs to know
Speaker 7: history needs to know about what happened here, like that
Speaker 7: that like resist that woman who scattered teeth that were
Speaker 7: removed from people's mouths, like all over the yard so
Speaker 7: that they couldn't hide that. And then all these all
Speaker 7: these people that wanted, you know, their story to be told.
Speaker 2: I thought that was And then the whole thing empties
Speaker 2: out into the Ronald Reagan National Library gift shop, where
Speaker 2: the only people shopping in that thing voted for Trump.
Speaker 2: And so those people, I hope went to the exhibit
Speaker 2: because there who is buying anything.
Speaker 1: They have a purple sticker.
Speaker 2: They have no Trump stuff in that place, by the way,
Speaker 2: and you could tell people are kind of like, where's
Speaker 2: the Trump stuff, because there's If you love Ronald Reagan,
Speaker 2: you probably and so it was like, of all people
Speaker 2: that need to know about this, it was nice that
Speaker 2: that was what it was.
Speaker 1: There to get back. Okay, wait, wait, what you know
Speaker 1: a cliffhanger?
Speaker 3: You know what Ronald Reagan's campaign slogan was right in nineteen.
Speaker 2: Eight We'll find out when we get back right after this.
Speaker 2: All right, we're back, Okay, Brian, what what was Ronald
Speaker 2: Reagan's campaign slogan back.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty four?
Speaker 4: You can guess there's no such thing as aids. Didn't
Speaker 4: he a one time completely deny?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: What was his slogan?
Speaker 6: Was it making America great?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: It was make America great? Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: So do they know that? Did they know when they
Speaker 2: said make America great again? They were doing? That was
Speaker 2: just coincidence. I don't see them ever having any kind
Speaker 2: of foresight like that.
Speaker 1: Reagan.
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course they knew.
Speaker 1: They knew.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, yeah, I mean they've they were. Whoever
Speaker 7: did that was yeah new, whoever helped him do this
Speaker 7: understood the history of American politics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, it's just probably too close to uh,
Speaker 3: you know, make America grade, Make America grade again.
Speaker 1: There's a it's probably too close. I do want to
Speaker 1: say that.
Speaker 2: Uh, yesterday, before we went to the museum, I was
Speaker 2: looking through my closet to pick out something to wear
Speaker 2: because I'm kind of running low on stuff because laundry
Speaker 2: doesn't get done that often for me here, and I said,
Speaker 2: I was looking through my closet and I just kind
Speaker 2: of laughed to myself, and then I said, Chris, do
Speaker 2: you think I should wear this today to the museum?
Speaker 1: Are you ready? This is a YouTube exclusive? Are you ready, Chriss?
Speaker 1: Should I wear this to the Holocaust Mudium? No? Can
Speaker 1: you believe I even own this?
Speaker 2: And this is an option in my fucking wardrobe for
Speaker 2: everyone at home. It is a blue and white striped
Speaker 2: long ways vertically striped.
Speaker 1: Summer dress.
Speaker 2: But it looks it's like the top two it's I mean,
Speaker 2: is the exact if I would have been wearing this
Speaker 2: in there, and I I almost I would have worn.
Speaker 1: This had I know such a curb your enthusiasm moment.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't wear that ever again. Now
Speaker 1: after the girl in the stripe again, pajamas were you aware.
Speaker 3: Again, were you aware that that's what the prisoners wore
Speaker 3: in the Holocaust or were you just not thinking, like, oh,
Speaker 3: could I wear this?
Speaker 1: No, I was doing it as a joke to him
Speaker 1: because I knew that.
Speaker 2: The only reason I thought of it was because I
Speaker 2: was talking about going to the Auschwitz Museum with my
Speaker 2: two Jewish friends who I'm with a bunch here, and
Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, make sure you wear your striped pajamas,
Speaker 2: and they made some joke like that, and I go,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I have to show you guys what
Speaker 2: I have that would be fucking so obtusive me to wear.
Speaker 2: But I'm so clod they made that joke because I
Speaker 2: might have worn that, and we might have not thought like,
Speaker 2: would you have caught it?
Speaker 1: You think you would? Thank God, I didn't even know.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: Was like when I went to the wishing Well Wall
Speaker 2: and was wearing short shorts just like.
Speaker 1: The Whaling Wall Western.
Speaker 2: Western Wall, sorry, the Western Wall, and I was wearing
Speaker 2: like booty shorts and felt so horrible about how disrespectful
Speaker 2: I was being, and they gave me a skirt. It
Speaker 2: would have been that same thing, but so much worse.
Speaker 2: Strips aware, Yeah, they can you forget me about this.
Speaker 1: Happened for me too. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I wore a mini skirt and like some gypsy lady
Speaker 9: ran and tied a scarf around me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's stole your wallet.
Speaker 2: I was. There's a part of me that was like,
Speaker 2: fuck this. I'm a woman, I can wear what I want.
Speaker 2: But more than anything, I just felt like I don't
Speaker 2: want to shame. I don't want to be embarrassing. I
Speaker 2: want to respect what's going on here. And I felt
Speaker 2: like embarrassed more than I was like they shouldn't cover
Speaker 2: up my woman legs. I can drive and vote. And
Speaker 2: I just felt more like I'm sorry than I was
Speaker 2: being a woman here.
Speaker 4: So you guys go to the Berlin Terror of or
Speaker 4: what is it terror? Yeah, yeah, Museum of Terrors. How
Speaker 4: did the Auschwitz Museum compare so much?
Speaker 1: How do you say better?
Speaker 7: Well, it was the audio you got, like a great
Speaker 7: audio tour, which I'm sure you could have gotten at
Speaker 7: the Tower of Terror.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but we we had a sound check to.
Speaker 2: Get to.
Speaker 3: The exhibit was one of the best museum exhibits I've
Speaker 3: ever been to, and I've been to a few. I've
Speaker 3: been to dogs, I've been to the Titanic. I've been
Speaker 3: to Uh, I've been to a lot of museums, but
Speaker 3: I've been.
Speaker 6: To Bodies is good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, body is pretty good, But that's bodies is not
Speaker 3: really an exhibit. To me, Bodies is like a whole thing.
Speaker 3: It's like going to circ to Solet. But to me
Speaker 3: as an exhibit, Auschwitz was like up there with with
Speaker 3: some of the some of the greats and museum exhibit history, like, uh, elephants.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember elephants?
Speaker 2: I felt bad because I was cruising through it faster
Speaker 2: than anyone. I got to a place where I like
Speaker 2: ended this one part, like it was probably a fourth
Speaker 2: of the way through, and then you have to go downstairs.
Speaker 2: So I go, oh, i'll wait for everyone because I'm done.
Speaker 2: I'll just sit on this bench nearby and wait. And
Speaker 2: then I was waiting there for fifteen minutes and they
Speaker 2: still weren't and I go, I must have missed them.
Speaker 2: They must have gone downstairs, and I was looking at
Speaker 2: my phone or something, and then I went back and
Speaker 2: they were.
Speaker 1: Still like ten minutes away from me. Just being at
Speaker 1: the park. I was, so I was thirty minutes ahead
Speaker 1: of you, guys.
Speaker 7: I may go back today because I'm going to go
Speaker 7: see the Air Force one and yeah, with the Reagan Library,
Speaker 7: I may go back into.
Speaker 2: I want to just take a quiz about it and
Speaker 2: see what the fuck I missed that you guys didn't.
Speaker 1: Oh, I still score a perfect score.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you were one of those people in high
Speaker 4: school that just was able to skim through stuff and
Speaker 4: ace things. I have to like reread a chapter seventeen
Speaker 4: times before I can retain anything.
Speaker 2: I did kind of have a thing where I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I know this person is starting this plaque at the
Speaker 2: same time, let me see if I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, if they're a.
Speaker 2: Slower reader, or if they're just like And then I
Speaker 2: did beat everyone that I read placks and I wasn't
Speaker 2: trying to speed read. I was like, no, don't try
Speaker 2: to show off right now. It's your own little test
Speaker 2: that you're doing. And I do read faster. And then
Speaker 2: there's lots of German names that I skip and if
Speaker 2: they're like I was wondering if you read a thing, okay,
Speaker 2: Brian Chris, if you're reading a plaque.
Speaker 1: And there were many plaques.
Speaker 2: That said this this prisoner, and then they would say
Speaker 2: the prison number, write their number afterwards, Prisoner s two five, six,
Speaker 2: eight seven.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, would you.
Speaker 2: Read the whole number or do you skip it because
Speaker 2: you know it's a number and who cares no offense to?
Speaker 2: I mean, like, do you do you go five six,
Speaker 2: two eight nine or do you just go that's a number.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna move my eyes.
Speaker 3: I read the entire number and then I write it
Speaker 3: down and I.
Speaker 1: Put it on No. No, this is a real question.
Speaker 3: On a bench and think about it. I reflect for
Speaker 3: five minutes.
Speaker 2: I take the lottery and also I do this for
Speaker 2: German names or any names I just get me.
Speaker 1: I would read everything. I'm just, I am just. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: I have like a condition where I I need to
Speaker 3: know everything about every I need to know all of
Speaker 3: the information.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And it comes and it comes from childhood. I think,
Speaker 3: because I say this all the time, that when my
Speaker 3: parents were divorced, that information was kind of hidden from
Speaker 3: me because I was too young to really understand it.
Speaker 3: So Ever, since then, I have been a guy who
Speaker 3: needs all of the information. And if there's ever any
Speaker 3: information that's been kept for.
Speaker 2: You, never going to a divorce museum, You'll never get
Speaker 2: you out of there.
Speaker 1: I'll read every plan.
Speaker 3: So I'm reading all the things, and I have to
Speaker 3: say I was the last person in the I was
Speaker 3: the last person to leave.
Speaker 5: Yeahshkis thing, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, did you guys wait for Brian and Ali?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, you were like peace out?
Speaker 2: Well I told Chris I found him at the you know,
Speaker 2: I found him when I after I waited, I go, hey,
Speaker 2: what's going on? Like, are you guys? Are you reading
Speaker 2: every little thing? Are you reading every word on the
Speaker 2: maps and stuff like? And he was really nice about it.
Speaker 2: He was like yeah, I think oh, and he goes,
Speaker 2: because you know the audio thing, we know what number
Speaker 2: we're on, and he goes, we're on like twenty two.
Speaker 2: At that point, I think is in the thing and
Speaker 2: and I go, I want to be out of here
Speaker 2: in an hour and fifteen minutes. And he goes, what,
Speaker 2: how does how many numbers are there? I go fifty
Speaker 2: five and he goes, oh shit, okay. So then he
Speaker 2: starts zipping along and then he keeps up with me.
Speaker 2: Alan and Bryan are way and there's they're still at
Speaker 2: fifteen or something, twelve or fifteen and we are out
Speaker 2: of the music. When I sent you that text, did
Speaker 2: you get that we were leaving and not going to
Speaker 2: wait for you.
Speaker 1: Did you what what number were you at?
Speaker 6: Do you think?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think I was around I think I was around
Speaker 3: thirty eight or something. Okay, okay, expected that text. I
Speaker 3: was checking for that text like every ten minutes or so,
Speaker 3: being like when are they going to leave?
Speaker 5: Because there's just no way.
Speaker 3: It's like, uh, it's like if I go to a
Speaker 3: restaurant with you, you you eat faster than I do.
Speaker 3: I eat like, uh glacially slow, and so like if
Speaker 3: you finish your meal, you have to sit there with
Speaker 3: me the whole time.
Speaker 1: He's eating around the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Ryan eats cookie. I'm not joking you and kit cats,
Speaker 2: this is not a joke. Everyone gear If you have
Speaker 2: been tuning out of the podcast until now, now's the
Speaker 2: time to listen.
Speaker 1: Brian will listen.
Speaker 2: Brian will take a kit cat, a big cat and
Speaker 2: a big cat okay, and suck on it. He will
Speaker 2: lick it like a lollipop, like one of those giant jawbreakers.
Speaker 2: That's how long a giant job or a complete cookie,
Speaker 2: you know, the big ones from Lenny and David or whatever.
Speaker 2: Let Larry.
Speaker 1: He will nibble and suck on a cookie hour.
Speaker 6: You don't suck on a cookie.
Speaker 3: He does.
Speaker 1: He sucks on a kit cat and a cookie.
Speaker 6: He's stuck a cookie. You suck on a cookie kit cat.
Speaker 9: I get because you're probably trying to melt the chocolate
Speaker 9: around the wafers, like trying to.
Speaker 2: Take because he wants to enjoy it. It's like a
Speaker 2: weird eating disorder that's acceptable.
Speaker 4: For Ardashian only eats kitkats in this weird way.
Speaker 2: I've seen. It doesn't take her four hours to eat
Speaker 2: a kit cat. Brian will be twenty minute and then
Speaker 2: he does wafer Nikky does everything quickly.
Speaker 1: Though, But sucking on a kick cat is so funny.
Speaker 6: It is funny.
Speaker 5: It's just that I've been around.
Speaker 4: Put it in your mouth and you're like fucking like
Speaker 4: deep throwning is.
Speaker 1: I don't like.
Speaker 3: It takes me a long time. It takes me a
Speaker 3: long but I'm savoring it. I've found that if it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if you take a molecule of a food
Speaker 3: or you take a huge chunk of a food, you
Speaker 3: can still extract an equal amount of flavor from it.
Speaker 3: You get satisfaction from a molecule and flavor from a
Speaker 3: molecule the same amount as you do from a huge chunk.
Speaker 1: So I was.
Speaker 2: Thinking about you in that Holocaust exhibit because they were like,
Speaker 2: we would have to make a piece of bread last
Speaker 2: four days, and I go, the only person I know
Speaker 2: that could do that is eighteen plaques behind me.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, but no, it makes a big cat.
Speaker 1: I have a cake cat.
Speaker 3: I make an afternoon of it.
Speaker 2: It's amazing self control. But you yeah, you go, you're slow,
Speaker 2: you go at a slower pace, and you have a
Speaker 2: comp like you're a completionist, like you.
Speaker 1: Got, yeah something, you got to end it.
Speaker 3: It took me a really long time to do to
Speaker 3: learn that thing about books, like if you don't like
Speaker 3: a book, just put it down and don't read it.
Speaker 3: But for this the longest time, I was like, I've
Speaker 3: got to read this entire history of eighteen fifties France
Speaker 3: or else I'm going to miss out on the one thing.
Speaker 3: You know what book I read that I just hated
Speaker 3: the entire time. The sound and the fury just like an.
Speaker 7: Because everybody, everybody talks about how great it is.
Speaker 6: And it's so cool, so you know.
Speaker 3: This is rambling nonsense. I hate this whole thing. It's
Speaker 3: a bunch.
Speaker 1: It's a stream of consciousness, drug addled horseshit.
Speaker 4: He is oddly esoteric, and I don't understand what he's saying.
Speaker 1: People would read.
Speaker 2: Faukner for any other reason than you have to for
Speaker 2: a class. This is the same with James Joyce. Like
Speaker 2: people who are like pretend to like this stuff, I
Speaker 2: think they're much better people than me. I automatically go,
Speaker 2: this is a genius, because there is no way I
Speaker 2: could ever glean any enjoyment from this stuff that I'm
Speaker 2: talking about. Having to read a paragraph over and over
Speaker 2: and over. It's there's nothing. It's just I never understood it.
Speaker 2: As an English major. It just seemed like torture to
Speaker 2: read those things. If you do read that stuff for enjoyment,
Speaker 2: you're better than me.
Speaker 3: There's only one time that that I forced myself to
Speaker 3: finish a book. I had to reread paragraphs over and
Speaker 3: over again. It was excruciating to get through. And it
Speaker 3: was a Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, which
Speaker 3: I read that when I was in high school. It
Speaker 3: took me like an entire year to get through it,
Speaker 3: and I feel like that helped me have a better
Speaker 3: understanding of like the universe or whatever.
Speaker 5: It was worth getting through.
Speaker 1: It is the point.
Speaker 3: Okay, the only book though that that's ever happened with that.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is excruciating. I hate reading this.
Speaker 3: This is so boring, but it was worth it in
Speaker 3: the end.
Speaker 4: Some good songwriting advice too that I got was just
Speaker 4: finish a song, no matter how bad you think it is,
Speaker 4: even if it's short. Just give it a verse, give
Speaker 4: it a chorus, try to write a bridge and wrap
Speaker 4: it up. But don't leave song ideas just sitting around
Speaker 4: because you're never going to get back to them, which
Speaker 4: I've found to be true.
Speaker 1: I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I think it is healthy to abandon things that aren't
Speaker 2: working or you don't like, and I think that that
Speaker 2: both are true. It's like one of these kind of
Speaker 2: advice life advice things that I find so annoying because
Speaker 2: the both the opposite and the and it are true.
Speaker 2: Of like if someone is in your life, like there's
Speaker 2: always just these things that I find are just paradoxical
Speaker 2: and you're like, Okay, well.
Speaker 1: Which one am I going to do?
Speaker 2: And that one is finish the song, but also like,
Speaker 2: don't waste your time doing something be able to aband.
Speaker 2: I think it's healthy to be able to abandon things
Speaker 2: that aren't serving you and to stop this like little
Speaker 2: thing that you have in your ego of like I
Speaker 2: must do it all, or like superstition that I think
Speaker 2: people have. I think it can be ocd sometimes to
Speaker 2: be like I must finish and everything, and it's a
Speaker 2: huge time waste and it takes you from doing other
Speaker 2: things that are actually beneficial to you. But I will
Speaker 2: say that Brian is extremely smart, and it's probably from
Speaker 2: all of this stuff that you've gleaned.
Speaker 4: I agree with that abandoning books and things. But if
Speaker 4: you start, if you're creating.
Speaker 1: Even burning books.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've talked about it here, but I
Speaker 2: want you to know on your list.
Speaker 4: I want to keep that to myself. You have a
Speaker 4: lot of beliefs and ideologies you guys might disagree with.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: No, I think just with like it something you're working on,
Speaker 4: there's something healthy about.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm I could change my mind too. I think there's
Speaker 4: something healthy. I look at it like abandoning it. I
Speaker 4: can abandon this thing, just finish it. It doesn't have
Speaker 4: to be great it's more like just I don't know
Speaker 4: for my song group, like I'll turn in a shitty song,
Speaker 4: and that to me means it's done, rather than being
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna I'm going to a polish this turd
Speaker 4: and turn it in Sunday.
Speaker 8: I'm never gonna do that. Just turn it in.
Speaker 1: It sucks. Who gives a shit?
Speaker 5: That's how I feel about kids.
Speaker 3: Like, if you get halfway through a kid and they're
Speaker 3: boring you, you should just abandon them.
Speaker 5: I think six seven years.
Speaker 1: Old dog, Yeah, the kid thing.
Speaker 2: Well, many, many, many besties wrote me about why they
Speaker 2: want to have kids or why they think people want
Speaker 2: to have kids.
Speaker 1: I got many responses.
Speaker 2: I got a great one today that I really loved
Speaker 2: that I think is spots on, and I went.
Speaker 3: Can you rephrase the question so I remember exactly how
Speaker 3: you asked it.
Speaker 1: I just was saying, like, why do you think people?
Speaker 1: What is what?
Speaker 2: What's your reason for having kids? Because I'm working on
Speaker 2: a bit where I want to cover every single reason
Speaker 2: possibly that someone could have kids, and I want to
Speaker 2: address every little aspect of it, and I don't because
Speaker 2: I hate what I'm watching a joke and someone's like
Speaker 2: covering all the angles and they don't cover my angle
Speaker 2: that I'm like, well, actually I do that because I.
Speaker 1: Have a really good point that you didn't cover.
Speaker 2: And you're acting like you've proven this thing that I
Speaker 2: like wrong, but you didn't even consider my angle. And
Speaker 2: if I want to prove it wrong, which is not,
Speaker 2: I don't want to prove it wrong. I just want
Speaker 2: to address every angle. And this said said, ever since
Speaker 2: I was little, I've always wanted to be a mom.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just this maternal instinct. Now that
Speaker 2: I'm in my thirties and haven't had children, I think
Speaker 2: I felt that way to heal something within me. No,
Speaker 2: my parents should have never had kids. Lots of childhood
Speaker 2: trauma over here. Even though I recognize it could stem
Speaker 2: from some unhealed place, I still want kids. However, I
Speaker 2: want to adopt, which admittedly probably comes from trauma. I
Speaker 2: don't feel the need to pass on my jeans. But
Speaker 2: there are kids that didn't ask to be born, and
Speaker 2: I know they could give them the love they deserved.
Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting that because I'm trying to
Speaker 2: figure out what is the instinct, Because as animals, we
Speaker 2: don't have the instinct to want kids. Kids just show up.
Speaker 2: We just like, all of a sudden, we're pregnant because
Speaker 2: we had sex. We didn't connect sex with having kids,
Speaker 2: so there was no like we until we became intellectual
Speaker 2: enough to like actually go, oh, this thing that I
Speaker 2: do when I get commed in makes a kid. We
Speaker 2: just we just had sex and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: nine months later we were like, I had a kid,
Speaker 2: and you go, and they're so cute. That's why babies
Speaker 2: are cute. You have this thing that's suddenly a burden,
Speaker 2: but it's so cute. You raise it and you and
Speaker 2: you need, you know, help around the fucking village and stuff.
Speaker 2: So the the wanting a kid for any other reason
Speaker 2: than like labor and having your I don't know, just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: other than labor, cheap labor, free, labor continue.
Speaker 1: I don't understand genetic line but that's an it's an instinct.
Speaker 2: But people people don't say that I want to have
Speaker 2: kids because I just want to continue my lineage. People
Speaker 2: say it because I just want to be a mother,
Speaker 2: and you go, well, that's not it.
Speaker 4: What wasps do? Like rich wealthy white.
Speaker 1: People, they really meant the animal loss.
Speaker 4: I think a lot like people want to continue their name,
Speaker 4: their line, their jeanette. Maybe they don't talk about it
Speaker 4: as much, right, Okay, I want to have kids to
Speaker 4: take care of them.
Speaker 2: I hear that sometimes when they're older. Right, Well, that's
Speaker 2: that's the one I've that touched on. You don't want
Speaker 2: to die alone. You want someone to put up with
Speaker 2: your disgusting body and old age, like the way you
Speaker 2: are when you're old. No one really wants gives a
Speaker 2: fuck about old people because they're supposed to be dead
Speaker 2: and they live too long now, and so you need
Speaker 2: younger people to take care of you. Yeah, so you
Speaker 2: want that, right, That's the problems run hardware stores.
Speaker 1: They want someone to sign people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want, like, you know, their son to run
Speaker 4: the hardware store.
Speaker 2: Also, I got a message that said I'm watching episode
Speaker 2: three forty four of the podcast you Anya and Chris
Speaker 2: in London.
Speaker 1: I'm a heterosexual man.
Speaker 2: First of all, I just wanted to point out that
Speaker 2: I think Chris is looking directly into the When he
Speaker 2: looks directly into the camera, he resembles Vincent Vega with
Speaker 2: a good haircut. And that's John Travolton pulp fiction. I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't set.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Also, you do.
Speaker 4: This, I think he's like looking in the camera. Can
Speaker 4: you guys tell the difference between this where I'm just
Speaker 4: staring at Nikky and Chris and now I'm looking into
Speaker 4: the camera like hi guys, hi audience, there's no you can't.
Speaker 1: Tell it all.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at who's talking?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, isn't that a John Volt?
Speaker 2: But then they said at the end, like this party goes,
Speaker 2: Chris seems like a great guy. Because I didn't see
Speaker 2: I didn't once see a hint of an eye roll
Speaker 2: during the entire pot Okay, thank you. Yeah, that is
Speaker 2: telling me, sir, you were tired of my uh antics
Speaker 2: and you but that that is true. I don't get
Speaker 2: an eye rolls from my boy even last night. What
Speaker 2: was I doing last night that was just so annoyed?
Speaker 2: I interactionently interrupted you, and then I kept interrupting you
Speaker 2: to like make it even because I could tell it. It
Speaker 2: was like a little annoying the way I interrupted you,
Speaker 2: and so I go, oh, I'm going to get out
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: By keep doing it right a bit that you were Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it kind of did. It made it a little fun.
Speaker 2: We were like laughing a thing that we've been sharing
Speaker 2: this weekend that I'm obsessed with is the new show
Speaker 2: that I didn't even know happened.
Speaker 1: It just popped up on Netflix.
Speaker 2: There was no warning because Netflix doesn't really advertise things
Speaker 2: before they're out.
Speaker 1: And it's called Down for Love.
Speaker 2: Down for Love to be called Downs for Love, but
Speaker 2: that would be too hard because it's about people with
Speaker 2: Down syndrome looking for love. It is by the producers
Speaker 2: I would imagine. I don't have this confirmed, but it's
Speaker 2: shot in the same way and it's in New Zealand,
Speaker 2: and it's why the same people who made Love on
Speaker 2: the Spectrum, which is one of my favorite shows of
Speaker 2: all time, great show, and it's downs under people looking
Speaker 2: for love.
Speaker 6: Such a good shit, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: And this is just as good like it's.
Speaker 7: I prefer Love on the Spectrum, but there's something that
Speaker 7: is even more uplifting about this one because Love on
Speaker 7: the Spectrum there's a lot of misses. You know, there's
Speaker 7: a lot of people that don't connect and and you know,
Speaker 7: don't have like a big spark in on this It's
Speaker 7: like everybody is sparking. There's some sparks. It's all sparks,
Speaker 7: and it makes people. People fall in love within seven
Speaker 7: words with I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 2: They start saying I love you within ten minutes of
Speaker 2: meeting each other.
Speaker 6: It's amazing. So there's beautiful things about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I go, you know, maybe this is happening
Speaker 2: because they have an intellectual disability. I mean, what downs
Speaker 2: them is they are going to be less intelligent than
Speaker 2: most people. And sometimes I think, wow, we all, we
Speaker 2: all could just love each other the first person you
Speaker 2: going to date with. We all could love each other
Speaker 2: that much if we weren't, if our intellect didn't get
Speaker 2: in the way. It's almost like they are better off
Speaker 2: in that way of having They can just love so
Speaker 2: much easier, more easily.
Speaker 6: It feels like there's like a purity to the whole
Speaker 6: exper Yeah, and.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make me.
Speaker 2: There's a part of me that goes, well, they're just
Speaker 2: kind of stupider, so of course they're going to fall
Speaker 2: in love like, oh man, they don't even know what
Speaker 2: else is out there.
Speaker 1: They can find something better.
Speaker 2: But then I go, I can't imagine Carlos with someone
Speaker 2: better than Eleanor even though at.
Speaker 7: First I go, norlay, Yeah, I wanted him with Libby.
Speaker 2: I was like, Libby and Carlos would be the best
Speaker 2: match you because you meet people on the show spoilers,
Speaker 2: you're there's nothing spoiled because every person they go out
Speaker 2: with they fall in love with. There's no chance they
Speaker 2: won't end up together. Yeah, Lebby, Actually Libby's the one
Speaker 2: because there is a spec there's a spectrum of people
Speaker 2: in the with Down syndrome where it's like there are
Speaker 2: some that are more highly functioning than others, and Libby
Speaker 2: is a very highly functioning woman with Down syndrome, and
Speaker 2: she's a little bit more selective. So you see the more.
Speaker 2: And then sometimes they are so have it so much.
Speaker 2: I don't know how, it's like it's different or whatever,
Speaker 2: but sometimes they just they're not capable of really connecting.
Speaker 1: Like the one guy, her brother that she brought on
Speaker 1: the date with her.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah that girl's brother, and he like couldn't really
Speaker 2: even talk to his date. But you just want them
Speaker 2: to match up intellectually. You want them to be on
Speaker 2: the So you start to learn all these people with
Speaker 2: Down syndroom and go, oh, he'd be great with her.
Speaker 2: Oh they're this, they're they both like they both have
Speaker 2: the same you know.
Speaker 1: They're on the same level.
Speaker 7: It's great to just abandon cynicism for like a half
Speaker 7: hour and just.
Speaker 1: That's such a good points.
Speaker 7: In the beauty of people that are like excited about
Speaker 7: each other.
Speaker 2: I hate to say this, but when I watch something
Speaker 2: if I we were talking about it last week with Lucy,
Speaker 2: if I'm watching or listening to enough Louie, I start
Speaker 2: talking like Louie. I start thinking like Louie and I
Speaker 2: have been a little bit more like I love that,
Speaker 2: like a little bit happier, a little bit more like
Speaker 2: have the I have like the disposition or I want
Speaker 2: to have the disposition of people with down syndrome because
Speaker 2: they are so cuddly, they're so happy. This morning, Chris
Speaker 2: was cuddling me in bed, and I go, is someone
Speaker 2: getting a little downs? Because it was like it was
Speaker 2: so because they love cuddling, They love cuddling and kissing.
Speaker 2: It just shows one side of them. We can't say
Speaker 2: that all of them are you know, no, we don't
Speaker 2: want to.
Speaker 1: Do it, but it is. But I have.
Speaker 2: I looked it up on it and it was really
Speaker 2: it is a It is a thing they that most
Speaker 2: of them and not all of them, of course, not
Speaker 2: all of them.
Speaker 1: We all are struggling.
Speaker 2: They have struggles they but there is no question that
Speaker 2: they are happier than the most human beings.
Speaker 1: There's no fucking question.
Speaker 2: And maybe to me if you have experience and educate
Speaker 2: me about And I know they're aware that they get
Speaker 2: made fun of they're where, they have a disability. They
Speaker 2: are aware that life might not be as easy for
Speaker 2: them and they don't get certain things and they're bummed
Speaker 2: out about that. But I am obsessed with people with
Speaker 2: Down syndrome. I again, like the way I felt after
Speaker 2: I watched Love on the Spectrum.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to be around this more.
Speaker 2: I want to be around these people more because they
Speaker 2: are so pure and so joyful about the things that
Speaker 2: they do love and they're so cuddly. They're so like
Speaker 2: I know, being a parent to someone with Down syndrome
Speaker 2: must be just a fucking really hard road and all
Speaker 2: the things that go with it, but much life Love
Speaker 2: on the Spectrum the parents see are blessed that they
Speaker 2: have a Down syndrome child. Yeah, and maybe that's how
Speaker 2: they spun it in their head, But I don't feel
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 6: I love the parents on the show.
Speaker 7: They are so like I mean, you know, it's probably
Speaker 7: like they chose people with good families and stuff to
Speaker 7: be on there, but those the parents that are on
Speaker 7: these shows are amazing, with some of my favorite pace
Speaker 7: on any shows ever.
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, if you want a baby, if
Speaker 2: you want a child that never grows up and is
Speaker 2: always going to be cuddly and like you're you know
Speaker 2: how moms go. God, when he was six, I was
Speaker 2: all he wanted to do was cuddle. And now my
Speaker 2: baby doesn't even want to touch me, and he's throwing
Speaker 2: things and he's slamming doors and locking me out. They
Speaker 2: are so cut, Like you know, imagine a kid going
Speaker 2: on his first date when he's twenty or whatever, which
Speaker 2: is not that late or whatever, and this mom being like,
Speaker 2: you look so handsome. You go out there and imagine
Speaker 2: that son, a twenty year old son that doesn't have
Speaker 2: an extra chromosome.
Speaker 1: Do you think he'd.
Speaker 2: Go, Mommy, I love you, think mommy, and kiss mommy
Speaker 2: and give mommy all the love that she wants in
Speaker 2: that moment. Because her son's growing up, you're not gonna
Speaker 2: get any that you're gonna get. Mom, shut up, leave
Speaker 2: me alone. And these kids are like one of them
Speaker 2: just goes. She goes, I'm so proud of you. You look
Speaker 2: so handsome, and he goes ooop and she goes hell
Speaker 2: boop to you, and then he snuggles in her neck
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, oh my fucking god. It's so
Speaker 2: goddamn sweet. I can't I. I love this show so much.
Speaker 2: We're taking our time getting through it because Chris keeps
Speaker 2: he's he's sweepy at night, and I go, what's going
Speaker 2: on over there?
Speaker 1: And I talked to him like a baby when he.
Speaker 2: Gets sleepy because I don't have kids, so I make
Speaker 2: Chris my baby sometimes and I go, ohways, your little
Speaker 2: head of baby, and I hold it like a baby
Speaker 2: and I go to baby, and I just want.
Speaker 1: To keep watching.
Speaker 3: Down for Love has no producer in common with Love
Speaker 3: on the Spectrum, No way, totally different people.
Speaker 1: We gotta go righting my mind because it shot the
Speaker 1: exact same way. I would have a million dollars on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want a million dollars.
Speaker 2: I probably would have bet something extraordinary because there's just
Speaker 2: it's done the same way, and it's in New Zealand, Australia.
Speaker 1: They had one season in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: It's the producers are from Australia. The other ones are
Speaker 3: from the Love Down for Love people are from New Zealand.
Speaker 3: The Love on the Spectrum company is from Australia.
Speaker 1: Well, Brian's going to read the complete IMDb before we
Speaker 1: get back to.
Speaker 2: The break and have all the information for us when
Speaker 2: we get back after this.
Speaker 1: So we're back.
Speaker 2: What did you any other any highlights from your All's
Speaker 2: Lives weekends?
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to say thank you to the
Speaker 3: besties who have shared with me all of their mattress
Speaker 3: purchases over the last couple of days. I have hundreds
Speaker 3: of people telling me what kind of mattress they have.
Speaker 1: I have still not decided.
Speaker 3: It's almost making it more difficult because everyone is saying
Speaker 3: a different mattress is the best one.
Speaker 7: The whole mattress buying experience it's all a scam. The
Speaker 7: whole thing is just one big giant scam, and we
Speaker 7: got scammed hard this weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh what happened?
Speaker 2: What We're about to make a purchase on our mattress.
Speaker 2: That's so weird you brought that up. I kind of
Speaker 2: forgot I wanted to talk about it. I asked about
Speaker 2: your weekends, and it's back to mine.
Speaker 1: But wait, so Brian, let me just.
Speaker 2: You are going to return the temp Repedic you have
Speaker 2: and get the other temp Repedi because that what you've concluded.
Speaker 3: This is actually interesting my current plan, I believe it
Speaker 3: or not. This extension of the mattress saga, which is
Speaker 3: the most boring possible thing to talk about, is interesting.
Speaker 3: So I am going to return this mattress. That's my plan,
Speaker 3: and not exchange it. I'm just gonna return it and
Speaker 3: then I'm going to buy Restar temper Repedic. So I
Speaker 3: go to the Temper Pediic store a few days ago.
Speaker 3: I go in and I am, I am all business.
Speaker 1: I go to my.
Speaker 3: Guy, who I bought the mattress from, what's his name? Kingsley,
Speaker 3: and I don't even like let him respond. I just
Speaker 3: say I don't say hi either. I don't even say hi.
Speaker 3: I walk in the store, I open the door. Don
Speaker 3: I am returning my mattress. I don't like it. I
Speaker 3: feel like it's a terrible mattress. I get it that
Speaker 3: it's not broken in yet I don't need to break
Speaker 3: it in anymore. It's too firm. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: ever gonna get firm. I tried the mattress at another
Speaker 3: store and it was too firm. I don't want to try.
Speaker 3: Please just let me return this mattress. I'll pay the
Speaker 3: restocking fee. I'd like to get another temper pedic mattress.
Speaker 3: If I have to do it from another store, that's fine,
Speaker 3: but I just want to return this one and get
Speaker 3: a refund. I'll pay the risktocking fee. And then he
Speaker 3: responds by going, we've been attacked. We've been attacked and
Speaker 3: all the systems are down and I can't I can't
Speaker 3: do anything because there's an attack. And I go, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What we've been attacked? I was like,
Speaker 3: how long have you been attacked for it? He's like,
Speaker 3: we've been attacked for two weeks. The systems have been down.
Speaker 3: There's no way to do anything. There's nothing we can do.
Speaker 3: And I go, oh, okay, Well, is it going to
Speaker 3: be attacked for longer than my ninety day return period?
Speaker 3: And he's like, no, no, no, no, the attack will
Speaker 3: be over before then. So he said he was gonna
Speaker 3: call me and let me know when the attack was
Speaker 3: fixed and so I can return my mattress. He said
Speaker 3: by Monday. It is now Monday and I have not
Speaker 3: received a call yet.
Speaker 7: He's a liar. There's this whole mattric thing, mattress. There
Speaker 7: is an underbelly somebody needs, as John Oliver, somebody needs
Speaker 7: to attack.
Speaker 5: Is everything from I wrote an episode.
Speaker 3: There is an episode about of Adam Ruins, everything about
Speaker 3: mattress mattresses, and I wrote it. I wrote it, and
Speaker 3: I still didn't I still got sucked over it.
Speaker 1: Wait, what did you learn in that? What did we
Speaker 1: learn again from that?
Speaker 3: There is no the in satisfaction. There is no difference
Speaker 3: once you cross a threshold of price, which is around
Speaker 3: five hundred to eight hundred dollars. Once you get over that,
Speaker 3: there is no difference in satisfaction between a one thousand
Speaker 3: dollars mattress and a fifty thousand dollars mattress. You will
Speaker 3: be satisfied no matter what amount of money you spend.
Speaker 3: There is that every mattress is. Every mattress uses like
Speaker 3: the same three companies to produce their coils and their
Speaker 3: foam and their padding. So it's like the same materials
Speaker 3: are being used in all of them. Shit, And then
Speaker 3: they talk about how the stores scam you by changing
Speaker 3: the names and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Saying we're going to be attacked. I think the attack
Speaker 1: is bake. I yes, I googled it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I googled a temper pedic attack and it turns out
Speaker 3: they have been attacked.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's just some by themselves.
Speaker 6: Yeah, by themselves.
Speaker 2: So they had too many returns and they decided to
Speaker 2: do an attack.
Speaker 7: No, I think it's just something that they say to people.
Speaker 7: It's just the first line of defense. Somebody comes and
Speaker 7: tries to return a mattress and they say, hey, we
Speaker 7: can we can't do it right now, our systems are
Speaker 7: down or just whatever. The first line of defense is
Speaker 7: to get that gut to go away, because there is
Speaker 7: a ten percent chance that Brian will just give up
Speaker 7: and not do it and they won't have to deal
Speaker 7: with They don't they know, they know Americans, they know me.
Speaker 7: You don't know Brian, Brian did your mattress? Did your
Speaker 7: mattress takedown? Discuss like the CD underbelly of like mattress
Speaker 7: salesman's and tactics and that stuff, or was it just
Speaker 7: about prices?
Speaker 3: No, we talked about mattress salesman tactics and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't quite as in depth and expose as
Speaker 3: you would see in like sixty minutes or something like that.
Speaker 1: But John Oliver or John Oliver, but it was.
Speaker 3: Better than John Oliver. But I think that I should
Speaker 3: have known. You know, I bought the most expensive temper
Speaker 3: pedic there is, and that was the mistake right there.
Speaker 1: You knew that the enjoyment does not go up.
Speaker 2: It's also like the happiness scale of like if you
Speaker 2: make more than one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars, you're
Speaker 2: happening all the way up to billions. Your happiness does
Speaker 2: not change any at all. And people don't care. No,
Speaker 2: they don't care. And you didn't care, even knowing that.
Speaker 2: I didn't care because final thought, I am going to
Speaker 2: buy a mattress, I think today, But now I'm scared
Speaker 2: because I have it all wrung up.
Speaker 1: Did we get scammed this weekend?
Speaker 5: Do you believe we tell me?
Speaker 2: But what you just said, it's all a scam. Did
Speaker 2: you feel we were to like do you think there
Speaker 2: was any kind of scamming happening when we went?
Speaker 1: Not me? Okay, you bought a mattress this weekend.
Speaker 2: Well I'm gonna see is why you just said that
Speaker 2: it's all a scam and that now I didn't get scammed.
Speaker 1: Well the whole like have you have you tried to
Speaker 1: buy a mattress at like a mattress store. Oh well yeah,
Speaker 1: this was a horror mattress store.
Speaker 7: But just like like a they have like a bunch
Speaker 7: of different brands and oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah it
Speaker 7: is a no have you done that before?
Speaker 1: First of the mattresses.
Speaker 7: We've got our mattress and what I mean did they
Speaker 7: give you all types of weird stats and like oh
Speaker 7: this is today.
Speaker 6: Or oh and then you like want another one?
Speaker 9: That at my jeans As I was like walking out
Speaker 9: of the door, you know, they they just want to
Speaker 9: keep you there until they make that sale.
Speaker 7: They're even worse car sales because the mattresses they come in.
Speaker 7: I bet they're like one hundred bucks to make in
Speaker 7: some like poor country. And then basically it's a game
Speaker 7: for them to see how much they can make people pay.
Speaker 4: God, I took our mattress like bag off one day
Speaker 4: to watch to see if I could wash it. And
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this expensive temper pedic mattress I was
Speaker 4: sleeping on is just.
Speaker 8: A huge block of phone. All it is just to.
Speaker 1: Pluck a foam someone cut and a bag.
Speaker 7: They would be like, this is all NASA technology. I
Speaker 7: remember twenty years ago, this is NASA technology. I'm like,
Speaker 7: I gotta get one of those fat.
Speaker 2: You think us going to Avocado? We saved that kind
Speaker 2: of rigamarole. There's got to be a huge I bought.
Speaker 4: A quilt from Avocado and they were highly recommended by
Speaker 4: my friend that's really into eco friendly stuff.
Speaker 1: I have a duvet from there.
Speaker 4: Three of the bamboo buttons have come off in the
Speaker 4: WASHERT three.
Speaker 8: That is not normal.
Speaker 9: I have a different opinion on Avocado mattresses. My brother
Speaker 9: and sister will have two of them, and I've slept
Speaker 9: on both those mattresses and they're great.
Speaker 1: Yes, we went this weekend.
Speaker 7: I think with Avocado you are paying for some sort
Speaker 7: of understanding of where it came from and it's it's
Speaker 7: it operates now Avocado.
Speaker 3: Ye, so you went to the avocado store in Santa
Speaker 3: Monica or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were out there for eating and then we
Speaker 2: went to go to lunch and we go we're just
Speaker 2: gonna walk down the strip so we walked down the strip.
Speaker 2: We went to Nest first, which is cheap, and we
Speaker 2: laid on the owl mattress. There was very comfy and
Speaker 2: we liked it a lot, and we go, okay, this,
Speaker 2: you got to beat the owl. And so then we
Speaker 2: went over to Avocado and they beat the owl man.
Speaker 2: They I did the plushest one because there's something about
Speaker 2: too plush of a mattress makes you feel like this
Speaker 2: is too luxurious, like I can.
Speaker 1: Don't want to have this every day.
Speaker 6: But then Chris was like, pepsi challenge.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, pepsi challenge because the pepsi the pepsi challenge.
Speaker 1: Will you tell people what the pepsi challenge?
Speaker 6: The pepsi challenge.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it was eighties or early nineties
Speaker 7: or what, but basically you do the pepsi challenge and
Speaker 7: you would take a sip of pepsi and a sip
Speaker 7: of coke and it was just a sip. So most
Speaker 7: people said, well, I like the pepsi. You know, people
Speaker 7: that weren't kind of stores who don't know the exact
Speaker 7: difference say I like the taste of the pepsi better.
Speaker 7: And so everybody's like, oh, well, pepsi must be better
Speaker 7: because everybody the pepsi challenge works, like everybody likes pepsi better. However,
Speaker 7: they went back and did another study. If you're drinking
Speaker 7: a full can of soda, people preferred the coke over
Speaker 7: the pepsi, So in a one sip off, pepsi is better,
Speaker 7: but coke is better over a longer period of time.
Speaker 2: So we laid on the pepsi and we thought, this
Speaker 2: is great. It's the it's taking. They started us out
Speaker 2: on the hybrid of like it's like not too firm,
Speaker 2: not too soft, and that was awesome, and then.
Speaker 1: I go, I think I kind of like soft.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know why I want to try
Speaker 2: it like it's I've always said I don't like soft
Speaker 2: because it's too luxurious, it feels too good.
Speaker 5: What it'll hurt.
Speaker 1: Why would you not like something that feels too good.
Speaker 1: I don't have back issues.
Speaker 2: I think back issues are all in your head, so
Speaker 2: I don't subscribe to that, so I don't. I'm not
Speaker 2: worried about my back on these beds. I think I
Speaker 2: could just read a book and have it go away.
Speaker 2: And I know people are rolling their eyes right now.
Speaker 6: Thrones I go back downway first.
Speaker 1: Man, but.
Speaker 2: I laid on this plush one and Chris, I'm so sweet.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'll just do whatever you do. Like he
Speaker 2: was like, I like them both. You're like, you're not
Speaker 2: totally like I hate this, I'm gonna let you, but
Speaker 2: you were like I like it. Yeah, I was, And
Speaker 2: then we I was like, I think I like the
Speaker 2: most plush one. I think I like the luxurious one.
Speaker 2: I saw the how they cut it, you know, they
Speaker 2: showed like a cross section of it, and it's not
Speaker 2: just a foam block and has lots going on and
Speaker 2: there are many different layers.
Speaker 1: There is wool in it, and I go oh.
Speaker 2: And then they have a vegan mattress that's just a
Speaker 2: block of cheat like you know, cheese and cheese.
Speaker 8: This is like a block of toe foody and extra firm.
Speaker 2: I was like, and I already have that mattress and
Speaker 2: I had to do a foam topper for it, and
Speaker 2: so I was. But then they go Peta has actually
Speaker 2: approved of our mattresses that are sourced from alpaca and
Speaker 2: the wool. Because we only share the sheeps twice a year.
Speaker 2: We actually are always on back order because we don't
Speaker 2: share them more than they should be. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to check on this because I do
Speaker 2: not believe that Peta would ever first support any animal
Speaker 2: being even you can't look at an animal with a
Speaker 2: grimace without Peter being like, how dare you make that
Speaker 2: animal feel?
Speaker 1: PETERA is crazy man. They're like, let me just google
Speaker 1: this quick. They're like, we've been attacked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I got to look into that. I just
Speaker 2: don't there's no way that Peter is approving of this mattress.
Speaker 2: So I haven't bought it yet because I do want
Speaker 2: confirmation of that, because I don't like to be lied to.
Speaker 2: But we have and we're not only getting a mattress,
Speaker 2: a king size, amazing mattress. We're getting an adjustable bed
Speaker 2: that goes.
Speaker 1: Zero. Not separate No.
Speaker 5: Which Alvocado version?
Speaker 1: Did you get the plushiest one? Wait? Why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: do this? Separate?
Speaker 3: Can?
Speaker 1: Look is?
Speaker 4: What if Chris wants to sleep and you want to
Speaker 4: be on your phone sitting up?
Speaker 2: I think we can always agree pretty we're pretty yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think that we.
Speaker 9: Well, let me chime in on that, because Aviy and
Speaker 9: I got the zero gravity platform, and he prefers having
Speaker 9: our legs up, and I prefer having our torsos up.
Speaker 1: So Okaya up to something.
Speaker 2: Unury of organic snattress, king Plush, Eco adjustable base, organic
Speaker 2: cotton mattress, pad protector, and avocado green pillow. It all
Speaker 2: comes to a whopping eighty six hundred dollars and eighty
Speaker 2: dollars eighty six eight zero point five to one. And
Speaker 2: now I hear that, and I go, man, I could
Speaker 2: just get a two thousand dollars mattress and be just
Speaker 2: as happy.
Speaker 3: Sure, Sure, I mean, I'm going to go to the
Speaker 3: avocado store in the thin and try out these mattresses
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 4: We walked Amazon for my parents. It was less than
Speaker 4: three hundred dollars. I slept on it all week. It
Speaker 4: was amazing. I don't know, I forgot the brand. It
Speaker 4: was so firm though, and I love a firm bed,
Speaker 4: but man, it was great, great.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I just have to say.
Speaker 2: Then we went we were on our way back to
Speaker 2: the car and there was another mattress store called Hastens S.
Speaker 1: A S T E. N S.
Speaker 6: And they got good looking beds that I've been loving
Speaker 6: for a while.
Speaker 2: Like this buffalo plaid print on all the They just
Speaker 2: like look cool. It's blue and white like plaid for
Speaker 2: the mattresses all in the store.
Speaker 1: And I've seen this place for a while. Walk by there.
Speaker 2: We used to live near there when we were staying
Speaker 2: in Santa Monica. Do you know about Hastens Brian before
Speaker 2: you look them up?
Speaker 1: Don't look them up? Okay.
Speaker 2: We walk in Hastins and the whole thing is like
Speaker 2: it's horse hair. Horse hair is hollow so it wicks
Speaker 2: away moisture and it's really, uh, just absorbent, and it's
Speaker 2: all horse hair tails from the horses that are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you can take.
Speaker 1: My ponytail and what. Okay? We go in.
Speaker 2: We lay on this bed and this guy goes, welcome
Speaker 2: to the best mattress you'll ever lay on. It is
Speaker 2: the best mattress in the world. No better mattress than
Speaker 2: this one. And we go okay, was going to ask
Speaker 2: what's rushing? So he might have been Russian, he was
Speaker 2: something because they eat horse meat.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was liddlely.
Speaker 6: Haystens is a Swedish company.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah he was, but he was not Swedish. So
Speaker 2: we lay on this mattress and it feels pretty good.
Speaker 2: I start going, oh my god, we just kind of
Speaker 2: signed off on avocado. She made a whole print up
Speaker 2: of the thing. All I have to do is press
Speaker 2: pay and we're done. Like I was kind of a
Speaker 2: done deal, and I go, I'm liking this hastens. This
Speaker 2: feels really good. He's telling me it's the best mattress
Speaker 2: in the world's He goes, we haven't changed it in
Speaker 2: two hundred years. We have perfected it. There's nothing. You
Speaker 2: will have this mattress for life. There is no reason
Speaker 2: to ever get another mattress again. This will last you
Speaker 2: one hundred years.
Speaker 7: I said, We've never gotten a return. We don't have return.
Speaker 1: He don't like.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they allow returns. So then
Speaker 2: I go, okay, great, and I'm thinking, man, I think
Speaker 2: I like this mattress a lot. I go, how much
Speaker 2: is this king size one of this version? He goes
Speaker 2: seventeen thousand dollars seventeen thousand dollars and he goes, no,
Speaker 2: seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Why space what I said?
Speaker 1: Seven zero?
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I'm like, uh, get
Speaker 2: off this mattress if you like. I almost piss my
Speaker 2: pants because of the price, and I'm like, we're ruin
Speaker 2: this thing, and I go seventy and then he, I
Speaker 2: mean obviously knew there was not a sale happening. I
Speaker 2: was like, maybe in the future when I'm Sebastian man
Speaker 2: scowc money or something. But Jesus Christ, and I go,
Speaker 2: I go, well, let me lay on this one over here.
Speaker 2: I go, this is like, Beyonce sleeps on this thing.
Speaker 2: There's no question but Beyonce. And he goes, what did
Speaker 2: you just say? And I go, Beyonce jay Z they're
Speaker 2: sleeping a bed like this, and he goes, they are

Speaker 2: like pretty woman like where they're just kind of like
Speaker 2: But he was very nice. At no point did he
Speaker 2: get up on us, and I thought, you know what
Speaker 2: this guy thinks, I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 1: He knows that I'm going.
Speaker 4: This is so Emperor's new clothes. Like what bullshit could
Speaker 4: we stuff into a bag and sell to people for
Speaker 4: How about horse hair?
Speaker 2: Yeah, horse is the only hair of an animal that
Speaker 2: is hollow, so it absorbs moisture. And I don't know,
Speaker 2: like the hot like if you put it on your microscope,
Speaker 2: it'd be hollow.
Speaker 1: It's like a little tube.
Speaker 4: As the horses get any kickback for this, they're just
Speaker 4: taking all.
Speaker 2: These kickback because they're cutting someone's cutting their tail and
Speaker 2: they kick them.
Speaker 1: They're making money off horses backs.
