WEBVTT - Heavyweight Check In 5

0:00:15.210 --> 0:00:25.290
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. Hello, Khalila, Hello, let me get Stevie hang on.

0:00:27.810 --> 0:00:32.890
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Hi, Hey, Hey, how are we Stevie.

0:00:33.930 --> 0:00:36.850
<v Speaker 3>I actually had a really great weekend.

0:00:37.450 --> 0:00:38.170
<v Speaker 1>What did you do?

0:00:38.810 --> 0:00:40.810
<v Speaker 3>I saw two friends this weekend.

0:00:41.050 --> 0:00:42.570
<v Speaker 1>As in real life.

0:00:43.129 --> 0:00:46.410
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, my friends Peter and Leo, and you know,

0:00:46.530 --> 0:00:50.209
<v Speaker 3>we stayed six feet apart and everything. But like, like,

0:00:50.330 --> 0:00:55.130
<v Speaker 3>I saw friends, and it's been so long since I've

0:00:55.569 --> 0:00:59.410
<v Speaker 3>seen in person a friend.

0:01:00.170 --> 0:01:00.810
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:00.890 --> 0:01:03.690
<v Speaker 3>I was waiting for them outside and I heard Peter go,

0:01:03.970 --> 0:01:09.369
<v Speaker 3>you know, Stevie, and it was like immediately I felt

0:01:09.370 --> 0:01:11.130
<v Speaker 3>like I was like lighter, you know, like it really

0:01:11.170 --> 0:01:13.569
<v Speaker 3>lifted something, and I left feeling really.

0:01:13.490 --> 0:01:14.090
<v Speaker 4>Light, like.

0:01:15.610 --> 0:01:19.530
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I don't really. Yeah, it was very

0:01:19.570 --> 0:01:21.450
<v Speaker 3>hard to resist the urge to just go over and

0:01:21.490 --> 0:01:22.289
<v Speaker 3>like give them a hug.

0:01:23.050 --> 0:01:23.530
<v Speaker 5>It was like.

0:01:25.690 --> 0:01:27.210
<v Speaker 3>Fighting with that, you know.

0:01:27.690 --> 0:01:32.970
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I also saw people for the first time, you know,

0:01:33.050 --> 0:01:39.170
<v Speaker 1>ten feet apart this weekend, my in laws. They came by.

0:01:40.210 --> 0:01:42.650
<v Speaker 1>I think it was nice for Aggie occasionally, of course,

0:01:42.690 --> 0:01:44.730
<v Speaker 1>like you would forget and kind of run towards them

0:01:44.770 --> 0:01:48.410
<v Speaker 1>and we'd have to pull them back ground Rampa, Aggie,

0:01:48.490 --> 0:01:52.170
<v Speaker 1>stay stay back. Can I just feel ground Rampa? And

0:01:52.250 --> 0:01:54.770
<v Speaker 1>I think those were the moments that felt the roughest

0:01:55.210 --> 0:01:58.010
<v Speaker 1>because you know, it's sort of like you're negating this natural,

0:01:58.250 --> 0:02:02.330
<v Speaker 1>wonderful tendency to run towards people that you love. Yeah,

0:02:02.810 --> 0:02:08.290
<v Speaker 1>so Aggie and his grandparents were exchanging knock knock jokes.

0:02:08.450 --> 0:02:21.570
<v Speaker 6>Aggie knock knock who.

0:02:18.330 --> 0:02:22.970
<v Speaker 1>All of Augie's knock knock jokes made no sense? Knock

0:02:24.290 --> 0:02:35.050
<v Speaker 1>and a doctor, doctor nas Lagula. Yeah, so that was

0:02:35.130 --> 0:02:38.530
<v Speaker 1>kind of it was a mixed bag, but it was

0:02:38.970 --> 0:02:43.330
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of nice. Yeah, Khalila, And what have

0:02:43.410 --> 0:02:45.050
<v Speaker 1>you been up to? How was your weekend?

0:02:46.850 --> 0:02:52.170
<v Speaker 2>Just something about like this past week especially, like I

0:02:52.210 --> 0:02:57.570
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I think it just hit the point of

0:02:57.610 --> 0:03:03.090
<v Speaker 2>really sort of feeling like gray. Like I feel like

0:03:03.130 --> 0:03:05.530
<v Speaker 2>I really was like hitting a point of like despair

0:03:05.730 --> 0:03:16.050
<v Speaker 2>kind of. Uh so this weekend, Sorry you guys, I

0:03:16.050 --> 0:03:17.730
<v Speaker 2>don't know why I'm getting so emotional.

0:03:22.290 --> 0:03:24.049
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, yeah.

0:03:24.210 --> 0:03:27.130
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So well so one thing we did.

0:03:26.970 --> 0:03:28.810
<v Speaker 1>This weekend, this is you and your boyfriend?

0:03:29.090 --> 0:03:31.850
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me and sam my boyfriend got a zip car

0:03:32.090 --> 0:03:38.490
<v Speaker 2>for yesterday to just like go somewhere else, which ended

0:03:38.570 --> 0:03:42.050
<v Speaker 2>up being nice, Like we had a nice day, but

0:03:42.570 --> 0:03:44.970
<v Speaker 2>the planning of it sort of just like it made

0:03:45.090 --> 0:03:47.410
<v Speaker 2>us both feel worse because we were like, oh, like

0:03:47.690 --> 0:03:50.810
<v Speaker 2>everything is closed, Like yeah. It just really made it

0:03:50.850 --> 0:03:53.970
<v Speaker 2>feel like, oh, there's like nowhere, there's like nothing to do.

0:03:56.970 --> 0:04:02.850
<v Speaker 2>And we ended up going to Fort Dolden and walking

0:04:02.850 --> 0:04:07.970
<v Speaker 2>along the beach and having lunch out there, which was nice. Yeah.

0:04:08.050 --> 0:04:10.610
<v Speaker 2>And then in the evening I watched a movie, which

0:04:10.650 --> 0:04:13.090
<v Speaker 2>is like all I've been doing is watching a ton

0:04:13.130 --> 0:04:17.730
<v Speaker 2>of movies. But I miss like going to like a

0:04:17.770 --> 0:04:22.969
<v Speaker 2>movie theater, like going to the movies. So I made

0:04:23.010 --> 0:04:30.769
<v Speaker 2>popcorn on the stove Twesdales sens oil, which I'd never

0:04:31.169 --> 0:04:33.049
<v Speaker 2>made it on the stove before, Like I'd had it

0:04:33.049 --> 0:04:35.330
<v Speaker 2>with my family that way, but I'd never just done

0:04:35.330 --> 0:04:36.009
<v Speaker 2>it myself.

0:04:36.330 --> 0:04:37.969
<v Speaker 1>And you've had popcorn in a movie theater.

0:04:38.770 --> 0:04:41.089
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I've had plenty of popcorn in a movie theater.

0:04:41.130 --> 0:04:43.250
<v Speaker 2>I once ate so much popcorn in a movie theater

0:04:43.289 --> 0:04:44.729
<v Speaker 2>that I threw up afterwards.

0:04:45.169 --> 0:04:48.010
<v Speaker 1>This was as a child, I'm assuming.

0:04:47.690 --> 0:04:51.089
<v Speaker 2>Nope, this was like two years ago. Really so sad.

0:04:51.570 --> 0:04:54.210
<v Speaker 1>No, that sounds like living the dream. How can you

0:04:54.250 --> 0:04:56.289
<v Speaker 1>be sure that it was from overeating popcorn?

0:04:56.810 --> 0:04:59.210
<v Speaker 2>This has happened to me? But before I think the

0:04:59.289 --> 0:05:01.690
<v Speaker 2>problem is if I don't eat dinner and then I

0:05:01.770 --> 0:05:04.409
<v Speaker 2>eat just popcorn with a lot of movie theater butter

0:05:04.529 --> 0:05:07.609
<v Speaker 2>on it. It like makes me a little noxious, but

0:05:07.650 --> 0:05:09.529
<v Speaker 2>I love it, so I always eat it anyway.

0:05:09.849 --> 0:05:12.410
<v Speaker 1>Wow, So you so you really love popcorn?

0:05:12.810 --> 0:05:14.570
<v Speaker 2>I love popcorn. Yeah.

0:05:14.609 --> 0:05:16.890
<v Speaker 1>And did you use the technique of like where you

0:05:16.929 --> 0:05:18.969
<v Speaker 1>wait for the first kernel to pop and then you

0:05:19.010 --> 0:05:20.969
<v Speaker 1>start shaking the pan vigorously?

0:05:21.409 --> 0:05:21.609
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:05:21.609 --> 0:05:23.609
<v Speaker 2>And actually when I heard the first one, I was like,

0:05:24.849 --> 0:05:25.969
<v Speaker 2>a pop.

0:05:27.450 --> 0:05:28.410
<v Speaker 7>That sounded like a.

0:05:28.369 --> 0:05:31.849
<v Speaker 1>Pop really makes you question yourself?

0:05:32.130 --> 0:05:35.810
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it does, but it turned out really well, and

0:05:35.849 --> 0:05:38.250
<v Speaker 2>I put I melted real butter to put on it.

0:05:38.289 --> 0:05:39.929
<v Speaker 3>Did it make you less naxious?

0:05:40.130 --> 0:05:42.930
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it actually did any success. You didn't throw up.

0:05:43.130 --> 0:05:44.049
<v Speaker 2>I didn't throw up.

0:05:44.690 --> 0:05:47.049
<v Speaker 1>What was there like something just about like having like

0:05:47.089 --> 0:05:48.289
<v Speaker 1>popcorn to watch a movie with?

0:05:48.609 --> 0:05:48.809
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:05:48.810 --> 0:05:51.689
<v Speaker 2>It was nice. Yeah, I mean it did make it

0:05:51.690 --> 0:05:53.849
<v Speaker 2>feel more of like an event instead of just like

0:05:53.929 --> 0:05:54.729
<v Speaker 2>filling the time.

0:05:54.810 --> 0:05:58.169
<v Speaker 1>I guess there's something like just about the sound of

0:05:58.210 --> 0:06:00.770
<v Speaker 1>popcorn popping that I think is like, universally like one

0:06:00.810 --> 0:06:02.330
<v Speaker 1>of the most wonderful sounds.

0:06:02.650 --> 0:06:08.130
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's great. I think we're in business here.

0:06:31.690 --> 0:06:33.409
<v Speaker 1>You know what else I've been up to, and this

0:06:33.529 --> 0:06:34.770
<v Speaker 1>is going to cheer you up. This is going to

0:06:34.849 --> 0:06:37.770
<v Speaker 1>cheer us all up. Okay, you ready for some good cheer?

0:06:38.130 --> 0:06:41.489
<v Speaker 1>I guess I decided that as a special surprise, I

0:06:41.529 --> 0:06:44.049
<v Speaker 1>was going to check in with some favorite people from

0:06:44.049 --> 0:06:47.770
<v Speaker 1>the show, people that we and America and parts of

0:06:47.770 --> 0:06:52.289
<v Speaker 1>Canada have grown to love, like you. My old friend.

0:06:52.130 --> 0:06:53.330
<v Speaker 2>Gregor a favorite.

0:06:53.330 --> 0:06:56.969
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, we talked for a while. He's homeschooling his kids,

0:06:57.010 --> 0:06:59.890
<v Speaker 1>he's taken on their education, and we got to talking

0:07:00.089 --> 0:07:06.210
<v Speaker 1>and do you remember a young man named Joey?

0:07:06.169 --> 0:07:06.369
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:07:06.450 --> 0:07:07.409
<v Speaker 2>How could I forget?

0:07:07.770 --> 0:07:07.969
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:07:08.130 --> 0:07:11.730
<v Speaker 1>Could we forget? Two seasons ago, Gregor and I went

0:07:11.770 --> 0:07:15.210
<v Speaker 1>to Los Angeles to help him. He had been banned

0:07:15.250 --> 0:07:19.610
<v Speaker 1>from his favorite pizzeria, and Joey's kind of a sloppy guy,

0:07:19.610 --> 0:07:22.090
<v Speaker 1>and he was having trouble with his roommates.

0:07:21.730 --> 0:07:25.170
<v Speaker 3>Of which there were many many, yes.

0:07:25.250 --> 0:07:29.810
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, many, many many roommates, And so Gregor and I

0:07:29.890 --> 0:07:33.290
<v Speaker 1>had kind of decided that we would give Joey a call,

0:07:33.410 --> 0:07:36.090
<v Speaker 1>check in with him and see how he's doing during

0:07:36.130 --> 0:07:41.770
<v Speaker 1>this quarantine. There was something that happened during the course

0:07:41.810 --> 0:07:45.890
<v Speaker 1>of our telephone call that kind of made Gregor and

0:07:45.890 --> 0:07:48.449
<v Speaker 1>I feel really good about having called him in the

0:07:48.450 --> 0:07:50.850
<v Speaker 1>first place. Because it seemed like he was still in

0:07:50.929 --> 0:07:54.490
<v Speaker 1>need of our help. Joey, is this so? I think

0:07:54.530 --> 0:07:56.490
<v Speaker 1>it is good to hear your voice. Guess who I

0:07:56.530 --> 0:07:57.450
<v Speaker 1>have on the line here.

0:07:58.250 --> 0:08:00.689
<v Speaker 7>It's a me, Joey, the one and only.

0:08:01.130 --> 0:08:02.929
<v Speaker 6>You sound exactly the same, only healthier.

0:08:03.570 --> 0:08:06.050
<v Speaker 7>I think I am healthier than the last time we

0:08:06.050 --> 0:08:06.809
<v Speaker 7>were together.

0:08:07.410 --> 0:08:08.530
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you radiate health.

0:08:08.850 --> 0:08:11.170
<v Speaker 7>My diet is a little more varied than it was

0:08:11.250 --> 0:08:11.730
<v Speaker 7>when we.

0:08:11.690 --> 0:08:13.569
<v Speaker 1>Last spoke, when it was just pizza.

0:08:13.970 --> 0:08:14.170
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:08:14.170 --> 0:08:17.170
<v Speaker 7>I've moved on from dale old cold pizza to some

0:08:17.170 --> 0:08:18.050
<v Speaker 7>some actual veggies.

0:08:18.090 --> 0:08:20.329
<v Speaker 6>Now, go on, What do you got in your crisper drawer, Joey?

0:08:20.650 --> 0:08:22.850
<v Speaker 7>The house? My house just went to the grocery store yesterday.

0:08:22.929 --> 0:08:29.130
<v Speaker 7>So okay, we got egg plant, lemons, and limes. Oh, leaks.

0:08:29.170 --> 0:08:31.130
<v Speaker 7>That's a fun one. Who whoever has a leak?

0:08:31.770 --> 0:08:34.010
<v Speaker 1>I think we can pause you there, Joey. Do you

0:08:34.050 --> 0:08:35.130
<v Speaker 1>still have that mustache?

0:08:35.410 --> 0:08:35.569
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:08:35.650 --> 0:08:37.610
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and I'm growing a quarantine beard as well.

0:08:37.970 --> 0:08:41.170
<v Speaker 1>Are you still keeping up with your ruler blading for.

0:08:41.170 --> 0:08:43.330
<v Speaker 7>The most part, I mean it's it's kind of slowed

0:08:43.370 --> 0:08:46.170
<v Speaker 7>down because it's not super fun to roly blade in

0:08:46.210 --> 0:08:46.610
<v Speaker 7>a mask.

0:08:47.010 --> 0:08:49.850
<v Speaker 6>I think last week left Joey he had a roommate situation.

0:08:50.130 --> 0:08:50.610
<v Speaker 7>That's right.

0:08:50.850 --> 0:08:53.570
<v Speaker 1>So now what's what's your deal? You're living on your own.

0:08:54.530 --> 0:08:58.650
<v Speaker 7>I I'm living in a much better situation now, living

0:08:58.690 --> 0:09:02.730
<v Speaker 7>in a duplex apartment with six other boys, so you know,

0:09:02.810 --> 0:09:04.330
<v Speaker 7>a little little tight quarters.

0:09:04.330 --> 0:09:07.450
<v Speaker 1>But how many roommates did you have back back when I.

0:09:07.450 --> 0:09:08.250
<v Speaker 7>Think it was five?

0:09:08.410 --> 0:09:09.930
<v Speaker 1>And now you've got sick by want.

0:09:09.970 --> 0:09:13.850
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but it's a bigger space, it's like a real house.

0:09:14.850 --> 0:09:17.610
<v Speaker 7>I'll admit. I still am in a curtained off kind

0:09:17.650 --> 0:09:20.610
<v Speaker 7>of a makeshift living room turned bedroom.

0:09:20.650 --> 0:09:23.170
<v Speaker 1>Deal. Wait, so you still have bed sheets for walls?

0:09:23.530 --> 0:09:26.170
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, only one wall this time, as opposed to all

0:09:26.210 --> 0:09:26.890
<v Speaker 7>of them.

0:09:27.290 --> 0:09:30.730
<v Speaker 6>I gotta say, no offense to Joey, But Johnny, I

0:09:30.770 --> 0:09:33.730
<v Speaker 6>think your craftsmanship in fixing Joey's life is questionable.

0:09:33.970 --> 0:09:35.370
<v Speaker 7>No, it's way better now.

0:09:35.490 --> 0:09:37.170
<v Speaker 6>Chick up another roommate and he's got a sheet for

0:09:37.210 --> 0:09:37.970
<v Speaker 6>a wall again.

0:09:37.850 --> 0:09:39.730
<v Speaker 1>Why only a sudd when Joey's not doing well, all

0:09:39.730 --> 0:09:41.290
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, he's my son, Joey.

0:09:41.530 --> 0:09:43.370
<v Speaker 6>Well, he was your charge. You said, I'm going to

0:09:43.410 --> 0:09:45.370
<v Speaker 6>get this guy out of his like, no, we were.

0:09:45.130 --> 0:09:47.410
<v Speaker 7>Both Well well that's the thing. See, I'm giving you

0:09:47.450 --> 0:09:50.330
<v Speaker 7>credit for elevating my life and lifting me out of

0:09:50.370 --> 0:09:52.210
<v Speaker 7>where I was. I'm doing a lot better now.

0:09:53.370 --> 0:09:55.610
<v Speaker 6>I just picture him on his rollerblades on a slight

0:09:55.690 --> 0:09:57.929
<v Speaker 6>grade where he's rolling back down and not realizing it,

0:09:58.010 --> 0:09:59.330
<v Speaker 6>he's going backwards down the hill.

0:10:00.130 --> 0:10:02.770
<v Speaker 7>Okay, but downhills are always the funnest part of rollerblading.

0:10:03.290 --> 0:10:05.530
<v Speaker 1>So you're you have now six roommates.

0:10:06.410 --> 0:10:09.090
<v Speaker 7>Yep, we've all been friends for years since college.

0:10:09.810 --> 0:10:12.650
<v Speaker 1>You're pitching in, I'd say so.

0:10:13.250 --> 0:10:17.010
<v Speaker 7>But lately, since quarantine started, it seems like the other

0:10:17.090 --> 0:10:19.250
<v Speaker 7>roommates in the house have kind of doubled down on

0:10:19.290 --> 0:10:21.370
<v Speaker 7>trying to keep things clean, which, you know, I get

0:10:21.410 --> 0:10:23.770
<v Speaker 7>we're spending more time at home, things get messy easier.

0:10:25.170 --> 0:10:29.490
<v Speaker 7>But to me, like I, I can't, you know, clean

0:10:29.570 --> 0:10:32.250
<v Speaker 7>every crumb every single time, Like that's just put going

0:10:32.290 --> 0:10:35.210
<v Speaker 7>a little too far. And so this started really getting

0:10:35.210 --> 0:10:37.610
<v Speaker 7>into one of my roommates. Every time I would leave

0:10:37.610 --> 0:10:39.850
<v Speaker 7>a single crumb, a single knife in the in the sink,

0:10:39.890 --> 0:10:43.530
<v Speaker 7>he would like confront me head on. And this really

0:10:43.570 --> 0:10:45.450
<v Speaker 7>just blew up the other The other morning, like when

0:10:45.610 --> 0:10:48.170
<v Speaker 7>I woke up and the first thing I hear is

0:10:48.170 --> 0:10:50.290
<v Speaker 7>is just him like beckoning me into the kitchen to

0:10:50.330 --> 0:10:51.490
<v Speaker 7>say is this your knife?

0:10:51.690 --> 0:10:53.290
<v Speaker 1>Is this yours?

0:10:53.330 --> 0:10:55.929
<v Speaker 7>And like he just wanted to just get into it

0:10:55.970 --> 0:10:57.450
<v Speaker 7>as my first thing I hear in the morning, and

0:10:57.490 --> 0:11:00.530
<v Speaker 7>I just really couldn't, Like I needed to avoid confrontations,

0:11:00.610 --> 0:11:03.010
<v Speaker 7>so I just basically ran away and like said, I

0:11:03.050 --> 0:11:04.290
<v Speaker 7>can't hear this right now.

0:11:04.810 --> 0:11:07.050
<v Speaker 1>Now, Joey, when you went back to your room, like

0:11:07.090 --> 0:11:09.610
<v Speaker 1>this would be a situation where one might slam their door,

0:11:09.650 --> 0:11:11.810
<v Speaker 1>what do you what do you do now?

0:11:11.890 --> 0:11:12.130
<v Speaker 2>I did?

0:11:12.170 --> 0:11:13.810
<v Speaker 7>I mean I tried to do the same. I retreated

0:11:13.810 --> 0:11:17.290
<v Speaker 7>to my room. But the difference is he was able

0:11:17.330 --> 0:11:19.290
<v Speaker 7>to just walk like right on the other side of

0:11:19.290 --> 0:11:21.690
<v Speaker 7>the curtain and like speak to me. So five minutes

0:11:21.730 --> 0:11:27.850
<v Speaker 7>later under the curtain, I'll push it aside.

0:11:27.890 --> 0:11:30.370
<v Speaker 6>Just painting an image in my mind, okay, because it's

0:11:30.450 --> 0:11:33.210
<v Speaker 6>less dignified when you frog crawl out under your curtain

0:11:33.250 --> 0:11:34.010
<v Speaker 6>to get yelled at.

0:11:34.850 --> 0:11:37.090
<v Speaker 7>It's better than that. But no, he did. He did

0:11:37.130 --> 0:11:39.410
<v Speaker 7>come around and try to try to talk to me

0:11:39.450 --> 0:11:41.690
<v Speaker 7>through the curtain and just said I'm here to talk

0:11:41.730 --> 0:11:42.330
<v Speaker 7>when you want to.

0:11:42.810 --> 0:11:45.090
<v Speaker 1>So did you ever end up having that conversation with him?

0:11:45.930 --> 0:11:50.770
<v Speaker 7>Nope? Nope. Instead he he ended up sending me a

0:11:50.810 --> 0:11:54.890
<v Speaker 7>text like I think a few hours later. That was

0:11:55.330 --> 0:11:59.130
<v Speaker 7>actually an apology. He wrote, my approach was not the

0:11:59.210 --> 0:12:01.610
<v Speaker 7>right one, and I apologize. I haven't felt great this week.

0:12:03.050 --> 0:12:05.770
<v Speaker 7>I've been overly sensitive. And then he goes, no need

0:12:05.850 --> 0:12:07.890
<v Speaker 7>to respond, just wanted to send this to you so

0:12:07.930 --> 0:12:08.730
<v Speaker 7>you knew where I was at.

0:12:09.650 --> 0:12:09.809
<v Speaker 1>HM.

0:12:09.930 --> 0:12:11.450
<v Speaker 7>I really care for you and don't want it to

0:12:11.530 --> 0:12:13.090
<v Speaker 7>hurt you or cause the vision between us.

0:12:13.130 --> 0:12:13.330
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:12:13.490 --> 0:12:14.170
<v Speaker 7>I only wow.

0:12:14.370 --> 0:12:17.050
<v Speaker 1>Okay, did you not read this text until now.

0:12:16.930 --> 0:12:19.170
<v Speaker 7>I read it? I read it just one dime. I

0:12:19.170 --> 0:12:22.090
<v Speaker 7>mean I was still definitely kind of heated when I

0:12:22.170 --> 0:12:22.570
<v Speaker 7>got it.

0:12:23.170 --> 0:12:25.370
<v Speaker 6>I think you just heard Joey digesting the second and

0:12:25.490 --> 0:12:27.770
<v Speaker 6>last emotional phrase of that text. That was definitely the

0:12:28.170 --> 0:12:28.650
<v Speaker 6>first time.

0:12:28.810 --> 0:12:29.050
<v Speaker 1>Wait.

0:12:29.090 --> 0:12:31.090
<v Speaker 7>I mean we don't usually talk like that, so it's

0:12:31.370 --> 0:12:32.650
<v Speaker 7>that's pretty surprising though.

0:12:32.850 --> 0:12:34.970
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and then what was your What was your next

0:12:35.130 --> 0:12:35.970
<v Speaker 1>text back to him?

0:12:36.010 --> 0:12:38.170
<v Speaker 7>So he said no need to respond, but I figured

0:12:38.170 --> 0:12:39.450
<v Speaker 7>I would just let him know I got it, and

0:12:39.450 --> 0:12:40.850
<v Speaker 7>so I just wrote thanks.

0:12:41.410 --> 0:12:43.170
<v Speaker 6>Did you send it as an emoji or you actually

0:12:43.170 --> 0:12:43.570
<v Speaker 6>wrote it?

0:12:44.130 --> 0:12:45.290
<v Speaker 1>And that's it? Just thanks?

0:12:46.210 --> 0:12:49.690
<v Speaker 7>I accepted as apology. I mean, how long ago did

0:12:49.690 --> 0:12:52.770
<v Speaker 7>you get this text from your roommate? I think it

0:12:52.810 --> 0:12:53.610
<v Speaker 7>was about a week ago.

0:12:53.650 --> 0:12:57.930
<v Speaker 1>Now, were you to call him over and say, hey,

0:12:58.570 --> 0:13:01.650
<v Speaker 1>I'm partly to blame for this whole knife knife situation,

0:13:01.810 --> 0:13:03.530
<v Speaker 1>also he would know what you're talking about.

0:13:04.410 --> 0:13:07.929
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, oh yeah. But wait, but first my question is,

0:13:07.970 --> 0:13:09.530
<v Speaker 7>I mean, do I owe him in a apology. I

0:13:09.570 --> 0:13:12.770
<v Speaker 7>think we need to address that first, Gregor.

0:13:12.970 --> 0:13:16.570
<v Speaker 6>This roommate seems like a prince. He's like, I'm sorry

0:13:16.610 --> 0:13:18.490
<v Speaker 6>I yelled at you for leaving your filthy knife and

0:13:18.530 --> 0:13:21.170
<v Speaker 6>crumbs on the floor. You're important to me, and I

0:13:21.250 --> 0:13:23.050
<v Speaker 6>cherish you and I cherish our time together.

0:13:23.090 --> 0:13:24.130
<v Speaker 1>Did he use the word cherish?

0:13:24.530 --> 0:13:24.690
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:13:25.090 --> 0:13:27.370
<v Speaker 7>I don't think. I don't think that's part of his vocabulary.

0:13:27.490 --> 0:13:30.130
<v Speaker 6>Point is Joey should pick up after himself. This is

0:13:30.170 --> 0:13:32.010
<v Speaker 6>not some complicated equation.

0:13:31.850 --> 0:13:34.290
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you think you're saying that Joey owes

0:13:34.370 --> 0:13:37.050
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit of an apology, a reciprocy.

0:13:37.130 --> 0:13:39.730
<v Speaker 6>If you live by yourself and you're a disgusting slob,

0:13:40.010 --> 0:13:42.890
<v Speaker 6>you're reprehensible, but at least you're your only victim. If

0:13:42.890 --> 0:13:46.450
<v Speaker 6>you live with six dudes, if everyone leaves a knife

0:13:46.490 --> 0:13:48.130
<v Speaker 6>in the sink, you've got a forest full of knives

0:13:48.130 --> 0:13:51.210
<v Speaker 6>in the sink. You're all on the house confinement. I

0:13:51.210 --> 0:13:54.410
<v Speaker 6>think it's time to be super persnickety. So he could

0:13:54.410 --> 0:13:56.210
<v Speaker 6>have been nicer about it. But I still think he's

0:13:56.370 --> 0:13:59.930
<v Speaker 6>apologizing for giving you some harsh treatment. I think you

0:13:59.970 --> 0:14:01.050
<v Speaker 6>need to step up your game.

0:14:02.370 --> 0:14:03.130
<v Speaker 7>I think you're right.

0:14:03.810 --> 0:14:06.290
<v Speaker 6>I'm totally fine with you, like sleeping with your dirty

0:14:06.290 --> 0:14:09.050
<v Speaker 6>socks next to your bed, that's in your sheeted off

0:14:09.330 --> 0:14:13.410
<v Speaker 6>quadrant of the living room. But you can't leave food arounds.

0:14:13.410 --> 0:14:14.450
<v Speaker 6>That's just not good.

0:14:15.090 --> 0:14:17.490
<v Speaker 1>So what is your roommate? What is his name?

0:14:18.290 --> 0:14:19.090
<v Speaker 7>His name is Pathan?

0:14:19.730 --> 0:14:22.650
<v Speaker 1>Is Paven within shouting distance right now?

0:14:23.930 --> 0:14:28.610
<v Speaker 7>I am tucked away in like the closet doing the recording.

0:14:28.890 --> 0:14:30.930
<v Speaker 6>I'm can you do it in a muffled yell from

0:14:30.970 --> 0:14:32.170
<v Speaker 6>inside your closet.

0:14:32.490 --> 0:14:35.090
<v Speaker 7>Now, maybe open up the closet door and okay, let

0:14:35.130 --> 0:14:36.810
<v Speaker 7>me let me get out of the closet here. And

0:14:36.810 --> 0:14:40.530
<v Speaker 7>it's gonna take me so work to weasel my way

0:14:40.570 --> 0:14:40.970
<v Speaker 7>out of here.

0:14:41.850 --> 0:14:45.170
<v Speaker 1>Now while Joey struggles to get out of his closet studio,

0:14:46.330 --> 0:14:48.650
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have an advertisement.

0:14:49.450 --> 0:14:51.650
<v Speaker 2>What a building of narrative suspense.

0:14:51.930 --> 0:14:53.650
<v Speaker 3>You know, I've been listening to this whole thing on

0:14:53.730 --> 0:14:56.130
<v Speaker 3>double speed, and now I'm gonna slow it down to

0:14:56.210 --> 0:14:56.890
<v Speaker 3>single speed.

0:14:57.010 --> 0:15:14.050
<v Speaker 1>Here come the Parade of Savings, and we're back. We're back.

0:15:14.570 --> 0:15:17.450
<v Speaker 1>Let's just join Joey as he struggles to get out

0:15:17.450 --> 0:15:21.970
<v Speaker 1>of the closet and on with his life. It's also a.

0:15:21.890 --> 0:15:23.770
<v Speaker 7>Thousand degrees in there, so it feels good to get

0:15:23.770 --> 0:15:29.210
<v Speaker 7>some fresh air. Hold on, I'm climbing over the desk

0:15:29.290 --> 0:15:34.770
<v Speaker 7>right now. Oh boy, okay, all right, so yeah, I'll

0:15:34.810 --> 0:15:37.690
<v Speaker 7>also mention that that Peven's room is the one right

0:15:37.730 --> 0:15:40.010
<v Speaker 7>next to mine, so he we almost share a room.

0:15:40.010 --> 0:15:43.210
<v Speaker 7>Really that's curtained off, but yeah, here he is now.

0:15:43.290 --> 0:15:50.730
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, listen, I kind of wanted to apologize actually

0:15:50.770 --> 0:15:53.690
<v Speaker 7>for for what happened like last week. I think you

0:15:53.850 --> 0:15:55.170
<v Speaker 7>probably know what I'm talking about.

0:15:55.610 --> 0:15:56.810
<v Speaker 5>I do know what you're talking about.

0:15:57.050 --> 0:16:00.930
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so I know that you sent me a very

0:16:01.050 --> 0:16:02.490
<v Speaker 7>like thoughtful message, and.

0:16:02.410 --> 0:16:03.770
<v Speaker 5>I thank you for it.

0:16:03.930 --> 0:16:04.850
<v Speaker 1>That was really nice.

0:16:05.010 --> 0:16:07.130
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, probably took a lot for you to do that,

0:16:07.290 --> 0:16:09.090
<v Speaker 7>and yeah.

0:16:08.650 --> 0:16:11.130
<v Speaker 5>I just you know, it's a really heightened time and

0:16:11.170 --> 0:16:13.610
<v Speaker 5>I didn't want to it could have been handled better

0:16:13.650 --> 0:16:14.330
<v Speaker 5>on both sides.

0:16:15.010 --> 0:16:16.850
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but thank you, thank you.

0:16:17.290 --> 0:16:18.730
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if I fully said it, but I

0:16:18.770 --> 0:16:22.050
<v Speaker 7>apologize for and I accept her for like leaving things around.

0:16:22.090 --> 0:16:24.530
<v Speaker 7>I know it's my responsibility with this is like a community.

0:16:24.890 --> 0:16:25.650
<v Speaker 5>Thank you so much.

0:16:25.730 --> 0:16:26.010
<v Speaker 8>Thank you.

0:16:26.330 --> 0:16:28.170
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's just nice to know that we're on

0:16:28.170 --> 0:16:30.130
<v Speaker 7>the same page because then there's no tension in the

0:16:30.170 --> 0:16:32.250
<v Speaker 7>house and things are going well.

0:16:32.330 --> 0:16:34.570
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, you're doing a great job, man, Thank you,

0:16:34.610 --> 0:16:34.890
<v Speaker 5>thank you.

0:16:35.210 --> 0:16:36.250
<v Speaker 7>Thanks for keeping things clean.

0:16:36.370 --> 0:16:37.130
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you got it.

0:16:39.530 --> 0:16:42.330
<v Speaker 1>Joey, Joey, Joey.

0:16:42.330 --> 0:16:43.170
<v Speaker 6>That was magnificent.

0:16:43.490 --> 0:16:46.010
<v Speaker 1>That was so good. Really from the last time that

0:16:46.090 --> 0:16:49.130
<v Speaker 1>we were with you. I mean, you've come so far.

0:16:49.610 --> 0:16:52.370
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was really straightforward. And I was getting ready

0:16:52.370 --> 0:16:54.370
<v Speaker 6>to start sweating when you said I want to talk

0:16:54.410 --> 0:16:56.850
<v Speaker 6>to you, and instead you were just clear, concise, really

0:16:56.850 --> 0:16:57.930
<v Speaker 6>spit it out. It was great.

0:16:58.330 --> 0:16:58.530
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:16:58.570 --> 0:17:01.050
<v Speaker 7>I think he definitely appreciated that, and I feel better too.

0:17:01.210 --> 0:17:01.690
<v Speaker 5>It was great.

0:17:01.970 --> 0:17:04.250
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this is the kind of skill set that

0:17:04.369 --> 0:17:06.290
<v Speaker 6>only a gold Stein can give you to deal with

0:17:06.290 --> 0:17:08.130
<v Speaker 6>your roommates.

0:17:07.530 --> 0:17:08.290
<v Speaker 1>And a Gregor.

0:17:09.570 --> 0:17:10.490
<v Speaker 6>It's all you, Johnny.

0:17:10.570 --> 0:17:12.730
<v Speaker 1>See before we were both trying to pun Joey off

0:17:12.730 --> 0:17:14.490
<v Speaker 1>on each other, and look at us now.

0:17:14.609 --> 0:17:16.689
<v Speaker 6>The whole time you were talking, all I could picture

0:17:16.810 --> 0:17:19.209
<v Speaker 6>was the fade and Johnny comes on in his dulcid

0:17:19.290 --> 0:17:21.729
<v Speaker 6>voice where he's like, so it is the moment and.

0:17:23.570 --> 0:17:26.769
<v Speaker 1>So it is that the roommates were reconciled and the

0:17:26.810 --> 0:17:40.290
<v Speaker 1>apartment found peace once again. So I spoke with another favorite,

0:17:41.250 --> 0:17:44.810
<v Speaker 1>Steve Marsh from the Marshes. From the Titular Marshes. Do

0:17:44.850 --> 0:17:47.649
<v Speaker 1>you remember? Do you remember? Steve likes his seagrims and

0:17:47.689 --> 0:17:52.729
<v Speaker 1>seven up ayahuasca plants. We did an episode with Steve

0:17:52.770 --> 0:17:55.489
<v Speaker 1>about how, as an adult, he'd found out that his

0:17:55.649 --> 0:17:58.489
<v Speaker 1>parents had had a kid before he was born, that

0:17:58.530 --> 0:18:01.250
<v Speaker 1>they had put up for adoption, and that they never

0:18:01.330 --> 0:18:05.290
<v Speaker 1>told him or anyone about and Steve and I said

0:18:05.290 --> 0:18:07.209
<v Speaker 1>about trying to find her. So I checked in with

0:18:07.250 --> 0:18:11.249
<v Speaker 1>Steve to see how he's weathering this pandemic, and he

0:18:11.330 --> 0:18:14.330
<v Speaker 1>still needs a little help from Jonathan Goldstein.

0:18:14.810 --> 0:18:15.330
<v Speaker 5>Can you hear me?

0:18:15.889 --> 0:18:17.009
<v Speaker 1>I can can you hear me?

0:18:17.770 --> 0:18:18.290
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:18:18.929 --> 0:18:22.249
<v Speaker 1>Has your headspace? Because I know you're you're a pretty

0:18:22.250 --> 0:18:23.009
<v Speaker 1>social person.

0:18:23.810 --> 0:18:28.450
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's that's been my biggest thing. So I love

0:18:28.530 --> 0:18:31.449
<v Speaker 5>meeting new people and it kind of wakes up my

0:18:31.530 --> 0:18:36.169
<v Speaker 5>brain and it's one of the great pleasures of my life.

0:18:36.889 --> 0:18:40.290
<v Speaker 5>So now bereft of the chance to meet new people,

0:18:40.850 --> 0:18:47.369
<v Speaker 5>your mind drifts to people like if you can't go outside,

0:18:47.369 --> 0:18:52.209
<v Speaker 5>you go inside, And so you have these memories in

0:18:52.290 --> 0:18:55.850
<v Speaker 5>nostalgia for people that you haven't talked to in a while.

0:18:56.330 --> 0:18:59.530
<v Speaker 1>Are you Are you thinking of someone specifically, because we've

0:18:59.570 --> 0:19:01.770
<v Speaker 1>been doing this thing lately where we're trying to connect

0:19:01.770 --> 0:19:06.330
<v Speaker 1>people with friends that they've drifted from.

0:19:06.449 --> 0:19:08.969
<v Speaker 5>There's this woman, Mika. She's in Paris. She got pissed

0:19:09.250 --> 0:19:12.930
<v Speaker 5>me and when I was stuck in Africa, her now

0:19:13.050 --> 0:19:16.129
<v Speaker 5>husband had to go to Paris or Lee so I

0:19:16.129 --> 0:19:17.169
<v Speaker 5>could get out of Gabone.

0:19:17.209 --> 0:19:20.810
<v Speaker 1>Wait, wait, hang on a second, back up. You were

0:19:20.850 --> 0:19:21.930
<v Speaker 1>stuck in France.

0:19:22.689 --> 0:19:24.050
<v Speaker 5>I was stuck in Africa.

0:19:25.649 --> 0:19:26.290
<v Speaker 1>What happened?

0:19:27.010 --> 0:19:32.530
<v Speaker 5>My friend was in a movie about people going to Gabone,

0:19:32.730 --> 0:19:37.490
<v Speaker 5>Africa to do Ibiga, which is this psychedelic route. And

0:19:37.689 --> 0:19:39.729
<v Speaker 5>I went down there and I met them and I

0:19:39.770 --> 0:19:41.929
<v Speaker 5>was like, I want to try Ibiga. And I did.

0:19:42.449 --> 0:19:44.809
<v Speaker 5>And I went into like a fugue state for like

0:19:44.850 --> 0:19:47.050
<v Speaker 5>forty eight hours, and I missed my flight.

0:19:46.810 --> 0:19:49.010
<v Speaker 1>Back Holy Kat And this was pleasant.

0:19:49.850 --> 0:19:54.010
<v Speaker 5>No, it's horrible, like a waking nightmare kind of thing,

0:19:54.530 --> 0:19:56.689
<v Speaker 5>and it was weird, like, so I did like thirty

0:19:56.730 --> 0:20:01.010
<v Speaker 5>spoonfuls of the They grind up this ibiga into a powder,

0:20:01.169 --> 0:20:03.490
<v Speaker 5>about thirty spoonfuls of it and then I also did

0:20:03.490 --> 0:20:08.209
<v Speaker 5>an additional how much of the sawdust through an enema

0:20:08.330 --> 0:20:08.930
<v Speaker 5>at the same.

0:20:08.770 --> 0:20:18.730
<v Speaker 1>Time, so the god, this does not sound appealing. It's

0:20:18.730 --> 0:20:21.850
<v Speaker 1>like you're eating like basically like a large breakfast bowl

0:20:22.090 --> 0:20:24.410
<v Speaker 1>of this of this, like.

0:20:24.369 --> 0:20:27.090
<v Speaker 5>A highly acidic sawdust, and then when.

0:20:26.970 --> 0:20:29.210
<v Speaker 1>You're done with that, they're like no, no, no, now

0:20:29.290 --> 0:20:30.090
<v Speaker 1>comes the enema.

0:20:30.409 --> 0:20:32.529
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, They're like, oh, you haven't had enough. You're not

0:20:32.570 --> 0:20:34.449
<v Speaker 5>getting You're like because I was like, I was like, oh,

0:20:34.530 --> 0:20:36.450
<v Speaker 5>I don't I can't do it. I can't do it anymore.

0:20:36.649 --> 0:20:38.969
<v Speaker 5>I was being a baby and and they're like, Okay,

0:20:39.010 --> 0:20:42.810
<v Speaker 5>well come into this hut and we'll give you an enema.

0:20:43.209 --> 0:20:46.090
<v Speaker 1>What what recollections do you have from those forty eight hours?

0:20:46.129 --> 0:20:46.969
<v Speaker 1>Anything stick with you?

0:20:48.409 --> 0:20:52.090
<v Speaker 5>Well? They uh, they ask you, like to describe what

0:20:52.129 --> 0:20:54.889
<v Speaker 5>you what you see, and I was like, I saw

0:20:54.929 --> 0:20:59.609
<v Speaker 5>some like flickering. I'm like the lantern, you know, So

0:20:59.649 --> 0:21:02.449
<v Speaker 5>then that becomes that's my I began name like, I'm

0:21:02.490 --> 0:21:06.050
<v Speaker 5>like whatever the African equivalent of flickering and the lantern is,

0:21:06.090 --> 0:21:09.049
<v Speaker 5>which is like, who doesn't see flickering in the lantern?

0:21:10.010 --> 0:21:14.490
<v Speaker 5>I was kind of quasi seeing this woman in Minnesota

0:21:14.530 --> 0:21:18.730
<v Speaker 5>at the time, and I felt like she was not

0:21:18.850 --> 0:21:22.650
<v Speaker 5>just seeing me, you know. I focused on those kind

0:21:22.730 --> 0:21:27.129
<v Speaker 5>of paranoid feelings until I went into this like yeah,

0:21:27.330 --> 0:21:31.010
<v Speaker 5>grade out fugue state for for eight hours and then

0:21:31.090 --> 0:21:35.330
<v Speaker 5>to come to and realize that Moroccan air isn't going

0:21:35.409 --> 0:21:40.169
<v Speaker 5>to refund my ticket and unless somebody can appear on

0:21:40.169 --> 0:21:43.570
<v Speaker 5>my behalf at the Paris or Lee airport.

0:21:43.689 --> 0:21:45.850
<v Speaker 1>Why would someone have to Why would that be the

0:21:45.929 --> 0:21:50.050
<v Speaker 1>terms of getting reimbursement on your on your ticket.

0:21:49.570 --> 0:21:51.049
<v Speaker 5>You need it. It's like, I don't know.

0:21:51.570 --> 0:21:55.530
<v Speaker 1>So she had to go to this airport in France.

0:21:55.449 --> 0:21:58.330
<v Speaker 5>Her husband did. And I think Mika has found the

0:21:58.369 --> 0:22:03.170
<v Speaker 5>whole escapade to be irresponsible and has really never never

0:22:03.209 --> 0:22:03.769
<v Speaker 5>forgiven me.

0:22:04.530 --> 0:22:09.770
<v Speaker 1>And that that that was the end of your friendship. Yeah,

0:22:09.810 --> 0:22:14.050
<v Speaker 1>how long was it since you last had actual contact?

0:22:14.330 --> 0:22:17.930
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Man? So this was in this is like right

0:22:17.970 --> 0:22:20.330
<v Speaker 5>before me and I started eating. It's like eight years ago.

0:22:21.090 --> 0:22:23.050
<v Speaker 5>So like then, I think it was like a couple

0:22:23.050 --> 0:22:24.810
<v Speaker 5>of years later or something. I was like, hey, you know,

0:22:25.609 --> 0:22:28.090
<v Speaker 5>I might be coming through town, and she's like, I

0:22:28.090 --> 0:22:28.810
<v Speaker 5>don't want to see you.

0:22:29.209 --> 0:22:29.449
<v Speaker 6>Hmm.

0:22:30.449 --> 0:22:33.529
<v Speaker 1>Oh. And was that the last contact you had with her?

0:22:34.010 --> 0:22:34.490
<v Speaker 5>That was it?

0:22:34.570 --> 0:22:34.850
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:22:35.730 --> 0:22:40.170
<v Speaker 5>And I love Meka like Mika's. She has a great laugh. Man.

0:22:40.330 --> 0:22:45.890
<v Speaker 5>I used to love making Mika laugh. I guess it's

0:22:45.889 --> 0:22:49.249
<v Speaker 5>one of the few, kind of the few people in

0:22:49.290 --> 0:22:52.330
<v Speaker 5>my life that I've really hurt them.

0:22:53.850 --> 0:22:58.090
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to reach out just to say, you know, like,

0:22:58.129 --> 0:23:00.010
<v Speaker 1>see how she's doing in the midst of all this.

0:23:01.649 --> 0:23:04.170
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, man, that might be nice. That would be nice.

0:23:04.169 --> 0:23:07.889
<v Speaker 5>Then maybe I could actually apologize to her, maybe.

0:23:07.689 --> 0:23:10.010
<v Speaker 1>Formally, because you never have.

0:23:10.209 --> 0:23:12.169
<v Speaker 5>Really, I don't think so.

0:23:12.649 --> 0:23:15.250
<v Speaker 1>Is she still in Paris? Yeah, because I think it's

0:23:15.530 --> 0:23:19.050
<v Speaker 1>right now. It's midnight in Paris. This calling her midnight

0:23:19.209 --> 0:23:24.529
<v Speaker 1>might make things worse. Yeah, so on behalf of Steve.

0:23:24.570 --> 0:23:31.330
<v Speaker 1>I ended up just sending Meka an email and she said, yeah, sure,

0:23:31.369 --> 0:23:34.729
<v Speaker 1>we can get on the telephone. So so that's what

0:23:34.770 --> 0:23:39.810
<v Speaker 1>we did. Oh you hear that European classy ring tone

0:23:40.770 --> 0:23:47.770
<v Speaker 1>that it's better than you, that ringtone better than me? Hello, Mika, hold.

0:23:47.570 --> 0:23:49.289
<v Speaker 4>On, let me put on my headphones on?

0:23:49.449 --> 0:23:53.090
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well I don't should I be talking?

0:23:54.010 --> 0:23:54.490
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:23:54.689 --> 0:23:55.530
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think of it.

0:23:55.810 --> 0:24:00.970
<v Speaker 6>Hello, Hey Steve here, Steve, Hey man, how are you?

0:24:01.409 --> 0:24:04.009

0:24:29.530 --> 0:24:32.570
<v Speaker 1>whole drug thing, but what what is the what is

<v Speaker 1>the thing about the photographer?

0:24:35.250 --> 0:24:39.770
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Well, like Mika had gone on a family vacation

0:24:40.330 --> 0:24:44.050
<v Speaker 5>and uh, she let me stay in her crib okay,

0:24:44.050 --> 0:24:49.049
<v Speaker 5>And then I was out with a Condon ask pho

0:24:49.369 --> 0:24:53.450
<v Speaker 5>photographer and he didn't have a place to stay that night,

0:24:53.609 --> 0:24:57.250
<v Speaker 5>and I volunteered Mika's place without asking her permission.

0:24:58.169 --> 0:25:00.810
<v Speaker 1>Wait, so so on top of the whole other thing,

0:25:00.929 --> 0:25:03.649

0:25:04.810 --> 0:25:10.649
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, Steve, I know, I mean Mika, that's the thing. Honestly, Like,

0:25:10.889 --> 0:25:14.169
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry for all of it, and Christophe as well,

0:25:14.209 --> 0:25:17.369
<v Speaker 5>And I feel like I estranged myself from you by

0:25:17.810 --> 0:25:20.010
<v Speaker 5>acting like such an ugly American.

0:25:20.570 --> 0:25:25.369
<v Speaker 8>I mean no, I was definitely wanting to help you

0:25:25.490 --> 0:25:28.929
<v Speaker 8>out when you're in Africa. Act when you call me

0:25:29.330 --> 0:25:31.490
<v Speaker 8>a you were like, I'm desperate. I need to get

0:25:31.490 --> 0:25:34.409
<v Speaker 8>out of here. So I was totally like, okay, I

0:25:34.530 --> 0:25:36.330
<v Speaker 8>we're going to get you out. And Christoph is a

0:25:36.330 --> 0:25:40.250
<v Speaker 8>really great guy, and I was just like just tell

0:25:40.330 --> 0:25:43.729
<v Speaker 8>him thank you, you know, please, Like I don't know

0:25:43.730 --> 0:25:45.170

0:25:45.209 --> 0:25:46.090
<v Speaker 4>Like you got to like.

0:25:47.649 --> 0:25:48.090
<v Speaker 1>Something.

0:25:48.490 --> 0:25:49.449
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that you.

0:25:49.530 --> 0:25:58.810
<v Speaker 8>Better because right, I think what was really problematic was that, yeah,

0:25:58.810 --> 0:26:00.490
<v Speaker 8>you invited your friend without telling me.

0:26:01.129 --> 0:26:02.930
<v Speaker 4>So when you asked.

0:26:02.609 --> 0:26:05.169
<v Speaker 8>Me like a couple of years after it to come

0:26:05.330 --> 0:26:08.850
<v Speaker 8>with your sweetie, I was like I had to make

0:26:08.850 --> 0:26:12.770
<v Speaker 8>a voice like do I want to have another adventure

0:26:13.129 --> 0:26:18.169
<v Speaker 8>and put up with like, well, it was kind of

0:26:18.250 --> 0:26:20.810
<v Speaker 8>tricky when you came, and it was a little bit,

0:26:21.850 --> 0:26:23.249
<v Speaker 8>for lack of a better word, high.

0:26:23.129 --> 0:26:28.409

<v Speaker 7>How is No Like?

0:27:03.209 --> 0:27:26.409
<v Speaker 4>So in about ten days.

0:27:17.570 --> 0:27:21.209
<v Speaker 1>And hey, guess what that's our show? Okay, yeah, well

0:27:21.250 --> 0:27:23.850
<v Speaker 1>but not quite yet. A couple more.

0:27:23.689 --> 0:27:26.490
<v Speaker 2>Things, Oh well, okay, So that was a lie.

0:27:27.330 --> 0:27:32.009
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to mention that oftentimes people ask what they

0:27:32.010 --> 0:27:34.330
<v Speaker 1>could do to help support the show, and you know what,

0:27:34.530 --> 0:27:37.650
<v Speaker 1>don't send us any money, don't send your jewelry. All

0:27:37.689 --> 0:27:40.929
<v Speaker 1>you have to do is try to listen on Spotify.

0:27:41.649 --> 0:27:45.290
<v Speaker 1>You can listen anywhere you want, and we're appreciative of that,

0:27:45.449 --> 0:27:50.050
<v Speaker 1>but if you want to do a solid listen on Spotify,

0:27:50.609 --> 0:27:54.570
<v Speaker 1>because it won't hurt, it'll help. And what we've done

0:27:54.570 --> 0:27:57.690
<v Speaker 1>to further entice is we've assembled a playlist of some

0:27:57.730 --> 0:28:02.450
<v Speaker 1>of our favorite episodes as well as some of listener favorites.

0:28:02.770 --> 0:28:05.449
<v Speaker 1>This is called the Heavyweight Starter Kit. If you search

0:28:05.490 --> 0:28:07.449
<v Speaker 1>for that on Spotify you'll find it and it's a

0:28:07.530 --> 0:28:07.850
<v Speaker 1>lot of.

0:28:07.770 --> 0:28:10.729
<v Speaker 2>Fun and there link in the show notes.

0:28:11.050 --> 0:28:15.050
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so if you're into the whole clicking thing, And

0:28:15.169 --> 0:28:18.730
<v Speaker 1>another way that you guys can continue to support us

0:28:18.889 --> 0:28:23.209
<v Speaker 1>is by sending in your emails with your stories and uh,

0:28:23.250 --> 0:28:26.090
<v Speaker 1>just how you're doing at this at this time, we

0:28:26.490 --> 0:28:29.969
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy reading them, and among the emails that we

0:28:30.010 --> 0:28:34.330
<v Speaker 1>received this week was a song by a singer songwriter

0:28:34.810 --> 0:28:37.770
<v Speaker 1>named Connie she Oh.

0:28:37.850 --> 0:28:40.570
<v Speaker 9>I am Connie she I am in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn,

0:28:40.690 --> 0:28:44.770
<v Speaker 9>and I am currently in my bedroom, on my floor,

0:28:45.050 --> 0:28:52.170
<v Speaker 9>looking out my window at other buildings. So I am

0:28:52.209 --> 0:28:55.690
<v Speaker 9>having trouble processing my feelings about all this, and so

0:28:55.810 --> 0:28:58.170
<v Speaker 9>I wrote a song about it, and I thought I

0:28:58.170 --> 0:29:05.090
<v Speaker 9>would share it with you. Every passing day, I feel

0:29:05.090 --> 0:29:11.730
<v Speaker 9>a little worse about zoos. I was good for ay oh,

0:29:11.770 --> 0:29:15.130
<v Speaker 9>fill my schedule with classes, got dressed and my makeup

0:29:15.290 --> 0:29:18.489
<v Speaker 9>even chrow my eyelashes. But a slump is so close

0:29:18.650 --> 0:29:21.810
<v Speaker 9>it might be here already. I watched ten episodes of

0:29:21.850 --> 0:29:26.370
<v Speaker 9>Community last night, and my screenwriting class is a great

0:29:26.410 --> 0:29:28.850
<v Speaker 9>group of people. But I don't think I'm a writer.

0:29:29.530 --> 0:29:32.410
<v Speaker 9>I'm more of a sleeper in my dreams. I can float.

0:29:32.610 --> 0:29:35.969
<v Speaker 9>I don't feel any pressure. I am light as the weather.

0:29:38.209 --> 0:29:41.930
<v Speaker 9>Is it morning? Alrighty? Where is the sun? I lost

0:29:41.970 --> 0:29:45.890
<v Speaker 9>my marble somewhere in the bathroom, and I can feel

0:29:45.890 --> 0:29:49.090
<v Speaker 9>all my atoms are shaking with what can't be done.

0:29:52.370 --> 0:29:56.490
<v Speaker 9>It's hard to feel lucky without feeling guilty. A soundtrack

0:29:56.530 --> 0:30:00.610
<v Speaker 9>of sirens, hants and connects me. The future feels heavy

0:30:01.850 --> 0:30:07.529
<v Speaker 9>and I miss my mom. I've got no room to pace,

0:30:07.730 --> 0:30:10.330
<v Speaker 9>so my mind is what's right, but it's more of

0:30:10.410 --> 0:30:13.610
<v Speaker 9>a stumble with no distance I'm covering. I know now

0:30:13.730 --> 0:30:20.090
<v Speaker 9>is the time to create that. I'm hungry again. Is

0:30:20.090 --> 0:30:21.530
<v Speaker 9>it morning? Already?

0:30:21.930 --> 0:30:22.289
<v Speaker 1>Aware?

0:30:22.450 --> 0:30:26.130
<v Speaker 9>Is the sign? I lost my marble somewhere in the bathroom,

0:30:26.650 --> 0:30:29.650
<v Speaker 9>and I can feel all my atoms or shaking with

0:30:29.690 --> 0:30:35.570
<v Speaker 9>what can't be done. I know that something has ended

0:30:35.810 --> 0:30:38.690
<v Speaker 9>and something's begun, and I just wish someone could give

0:30:38.850 --> 0:30:42.450
<v Speaker 9>me more answers, or tell me just close your eyes

0:30:42.610 --> 0:30:44.529
<v Speaker 9>and then open when I

0:30:44.610 --> 0:30:50.730
<v Speaker 7>Get to one
