Speaker 3: sunnay aka? Just in my mind? If not, so it's
Speaker 3: we're doing it because I thought of it, and I
Speaker 3: don't know if I did, and maybe I'm just misre memory.
Speaker 3: But here's one I've been thinking of in this shower.
Speaker 1: There once was a drink at McDonald's. They say it's
Speaker 1: grim mist come.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
Speaker 4: And God, I know I'm one shout out to my brain.
Speaker 3: Did I do that one?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Okay, it's perfect for me not
Speaker 1: to have remembered it.
Speaker 3: I had to come back around on the Grimace shake.
Speaker 4: Sorry, that was the last one.
Speaker 3: I swear to God you last time we heard me
Speaker 3: say grimas come, I don't know, maybe until a few days,
Speaker 3: but anyway, that's me, Miles.
Speaker 1: They do say it's Grimace. Come well, Miles, we are
Speaker 1: through to be joined in our third seat by a
Speaker 1: writer director, podcast host of the very funny show Crimes
Speaker 1: of the Heart.
Speaker 5: It's Rory, all right, I don't have a song.
Speaker 3: That's all right, Okay, fine, here we'll walk you through
Speaker 3: a karaoke and bob okay, cold, there it is.
Speaker 5: I was kidding. I really thought that that would be so.
Speaker 1: Hard to work.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and hold you gone.
Speaker 1: I just turned on the Scooby Doo there.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Should be.
Speaker 5: Oh man, it's Thursday. You guys. We are still surviving
Speaker 5: all the strikes on strikes, on strikes.
Speaker 4: Stright strikes, on strikes, so many strikes?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 1: We do have a development in the the Tree Shade
Speaker 1: Stable because yeah, like part of me was like, maybe
Speaker 1: it's a coincidence.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: They they do cut the ship out of trees in
Speaker 1: l A sometimes, like there will be a tree, there
Speaker 1: will be a street with beautiful trees, and then suddenly
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll look like it's going off a military
Speaker 1: But it is no accident. They did that ship on purpose, illegally, illegally,
Speaker 1: without a permit. The execs were up there like cut
Speaker 1: on ladders, just cutting it down. Yeah really just dark
Speaker 1: nights really shit? Yeah, nice try assholes.
Speaker 6: If we ever doubted whether or all that Deadline article
Speaker 6: where whoever was quoted saying like we just need to
Speaker 6: break them but we're going to like bleed them dry
Speaker 6: blah blah blah blah blah Christmas, Now I'm like, oh,
Speaker 6: well that definitely seems a lot more accurate.
Speaker 3: Now oh yeah, yeah, yeah they tried. That was a
Speaker 3: shot across the bow. But you know, the resolve of
Speaker 3: the workers will not be broken, so yeah, deal with
Speaker 3: that hold that.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for them to be, like, all right,
Speaker 1: so that didn't come off great, So let's change our tech.
Speaker 1: Let's like come up with a new strategy, a new approach,
Speaker 1: a new personality. But it turns out they only have
Speaker 1: one personality pole cutting down trees and telling people that
Speaker 1: they're going to starve them out and cancel Christmas. That's
Speaker 1: that's just who they are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's what we do.
Speaker 1: You know, out there's a reason that movie writers and
Speaker 1: directors have been able to create so many good villains
Speaker 1: over the years, because they work for a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of them.
Speaker 1: So true, where are you coming to us from Sally?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Should I not have gotten that specific?
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you don't want to, you can just say
Speaker 3: the east side.
Speaker 5: I'm on the east side where silver Lake is. No,
Speaker 5: it's fine, I mean Silverly. Yeah, we already did it.
Speaker 5: It's done.
Speaker 3: Have you have you been down to like, have you
Speaker 3: been to Universal since the trees are cut? Or no?
Speaker 5: No? No, no, I think they were cut like two
Speaker 5: days ago.
Speaker 6: I need to get down there because I'm in both unions,
Speaker 6: so I need to sign for each hand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I feel Yeah, my heart goes out to
Speaker 3: the Duley's out there for them. Both have been down
Speaker 3: since me and now now I know.
Speaker 6: It's crazy, it's really crazy, but look should have to change.
Speaker 1: So yeah, my friends and the writers grilled. Say my
Speaker 1: friends and the writers grilled. Yeah, an turn a grill.
Speaker 5: That just made me think that we're like all in
Speaker 5: a comic book.
Speaker 6: I don't know why, but it was like grill and
Speaker 6: guild and I just felt like, now we're all superheroes.
Speaker 5: I'm into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mouth today spitting apples and fucking upwards. But
Speaker 1: they're saying that the protests have gotten much more theatrical
Speaker 1: and entertaining and musical. There's yeah, like music has entered the.
Speaker 4: That's what you get with the actor when the performers come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the performers are here turning. It's it's like, uh,
Speaker 1: that Toby maguire movie where everything goes from black and
Speaker 1: white to color?
Speaker 3: Oh what is it?
Speaker 2: Not pleasant? Feel?
Speaker 4: Where there are no people of color at all?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 3: Just remember I was remember I remember seeing that in
Speaker 3: the theaters and my friends were like yo.
Speaker 2: And then I was like Yo, what the fuck is?
Speaker 3: And no good.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like in the late nineties, so no one
Speaker 3: had that kind of media consciousness except for me, Like
Speaker 3: the one like Kid of Color and I was like, Yo,
Speaker 3: this is fucking bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah that oh man, that is it's shameful to Well,
Speaker 6: I don't know that I even that movie.
Speaker 5: Really made a dent on my radar.
Speaker 6: I mean I remember it coming out, but I don't
Speaker 6: I mean I think I was kind of like oof,
Speaker 6: not great, Like I don't know that I loved it,
Speaker 6: So I don't know that I would have really clocked that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, well, I think the way it really the
Speaker 3: only time it like really re emerged was recently on
Speaker 3: the Other two when they had that like thematic episode
Speaker 3: that was all pleasant phil esque when he's trying to
Speaker 3: like bring life back to all the actors of that
Speaker 3: procedural show he was on.
Speaker 6: Yeah wild anyway, we have woof Yeah, not great, not.
Speaker 4: Great as that sandwich Jack, What are you eating an apple? Miles?
Speaker 1: I'm still still working away at a cosmic crisp apple,
Speaker 1: which pretty good, pretty great.
Speaker 6: I have an apple tree and it is like crazy
Speaker 6: right now. And but mine are so small, They're like
Speaker 6: little apples And have.
Speaker 2: You checked the stickers on them to say what kind
Speaker 2: they are?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I'm oh God, I'm sad that I laughed at that
Speaker 5: because I feel like like a dad joke and I
Speaker 5: encouraging that.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't, but I don't encourage him.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's on an espolar vine. Do you know
Speaker 5: what those are?
Speaker 6: No, So my apple tree looks like a vine that
Speaker 6: goes up a wall, but it's a tree. And when
Speaker 6: it was first I'm gonna say born, but I mean
Speaker 6: planted it. I got it and it was a little
Speaker 6: tree ling and it had three branches and each branch
Speaker 6: was a different.
Speaker 5: Type of apple. Anyway, I'm a nerd and I thought
Speaker 5: that was so cool.
Speaker 4: Some Willy Wonka shit. There's like three kinds of apples.
Speaker 5: I know, I know.
Speaker 6: I didn't really ask questions just because I was so excited.
Speaker 6: And now I have like all these different apples and
Speaker 6: I just pick one and then I'm like, oh, but
Speaker 6: I guess it's a Granny Smith or oh, I guess
Speaker 6: this is a whatever.
Speaker 3: But they're tiny.
Speaker 5: They're tiny. So the only problem is is that sometimes
Speaker 5: I take a bite and I hit the core.
Speaker 4: Right bite halfway through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the doctor says, my arsenic levels are off the
Speaker 3: charts and it's a eating all the apple seeds though.
Speaker 1: All right, Rory, we're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of
Speaker 1: things we're talking about. We're going to talk about more
Speaker 1: Supreme Court fuckery. We're going to talk about the real
Speaker 1: reason Disney World is empty. The story is going wild
Speaker 1: on the right and they're like, Aha, we're winning the
Speaker 1: war against woke Disney. We're going to debate whether you're
Speaker 1: allowed to wear shorts.
Speaker 2: On a plane.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever had a thought about this,
Speaker 1: but I don't think I generally do because it gets
Speaker 1: cold up there. But we'll talk about it all of
Speaker 1: that plenty more. But first, Rory Uppold, we like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that is revealing who you are?
Speaker 6: My search history is chaotic, and just like so, I
Speaker 6: looked at it and was like, oh, this screams helped me.
Speaker 6: I was looking up asexuality, the difference between attraction and desire,
Speaker 6: but I was also looking at st I rights in
Speaker 6: America and non toxic condoms.
Speaker 4: Okay, so asexuality, SDI rates non Wait, so wait, what
Speaker 4: are toxic condoms?
Speaker 6: Most condoms are owned by the most condom companies are
Speaker 6: owned by the same five companies, and if you get
Speaker 6: a box, you'll notice that it doesn't have ingredients listed
Speaker 6: on them. But they do have ingredients that're just not
Speaker 6: required to which is really crazy, and a lot of
Speaker 6: the ingredients are harmful, irritating, or in some cases toxic.
Speaker 6: I didn't know that, Like I do all this research
Speaker 6: for the show that I have, and I just interviewed
Speaker 6: these ladies who have a non toxic condom company, and
Speaker 6: I had the same reaction. I said, I'm sorry, right
Speaker 6: right right, I've, like, you know, been with a toxic
Speaker 6: dude or two, but I didn't realize I.
Speaker 1: Was then well, yeah.
Speaker 5: That seems like something I can control. So yeah, things
Speaker 5: like parabins or preservatives, like why would a condom have
Speaker 5: preservatives for the flavor?
Speaker 2: Keep it fresh?
Speaker 6: You're not wrong, Yeah, you're not wrong. But if it's
Speaker 6: just if you just have like just latex and just silicone,
Speaker 6: right right, don't need those other things.
Speaker 3: Right, So what is it preserving? Exactly?
Speaker 2: The patriarchy?
Speaker 6: I didn't no, no, no, bad ass, Like that's really
Speaker 6: what it is.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like, I don't know, it doesn't suck
Speaker 4: the guy up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, basically, it's just like all those memes about like
Speaker 6: is he worth risking your pH over this?
Speaker 5: It's like, no, that's really accurate, right truly, I know.
Speaker 5: So anyway, that's how I spend my time.
Speaker 1: There you go, what is what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 5: Summer?
Speaker 1: Go on?
Speaker 5: Summer? Man?
Speaker 6: So as an adult, like, what does summer even mean?
Speaker 6: It's not like we get to take a break.
Speaker 2: Right right?
Speaker 6: That part hot as fuck, which is just like not
Speaker 6: my vibe.
Speaker 5: People listening don't know, but I am goth white.
Speaker 4: And are you from Canada as well?
Speaker 6: I'm yeah, I'm an American and Canadian. Yeah, but I just
Speaker 6: like truly just you know, yeah yeah Book with the Sun.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and strike against you as if Canadian people can.
Speaker 3: I remember off handedly reading that you were.
Speaker 5: Okay, You're like what's wrong with her?
Speaker 6: Which I have, Like I used to be like a
Speaker 6: sun baby, like I used to be so so so
Speaker 6: so so tan, and then I moved to Michigan for
Speaker 6: high school and then I became like really really pale.
Speaker 5: And it's been that way ever since.
Speaker 6: But I also think I don't have kids, but for
Speaker 6: the people that are working that have kids now, they're
Speaker 6: just not in school. I'm like, summer actually kind of sucks. Also,
Speaker 6: there's this like pressure to be hot in the summer,
Speaker 6: and I'm like that doesn't really align with who I
Speaker 6: am on the inside. So I think this, Yeah, I
Speaker 6: feel like Halloween is more my vibe. Winter is more
Speaker 6: my vibe.
Speaker 3: Winter is definitely my Like I I say this, I
Speaker 3: don't have clothes for the summer. I only have clothes
Speaker 3: for the winter because I like, I like how I
Speaker 3: like winter clothes more than like wearing shorts and ship
Speaker 3: because I can just wear the same three pairs of
Speaker 3: shorts the whole summer.
Speaker 4: That's how I kind of look at summer.
Speaker 3: And then like when I go out to shit, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't have like cool people clothes for the summer
Speaker 3: at all unless I pull up in like a basketball
Speaker 3: jersey and like soccer shorts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which those are cool basketball jersey soccer shorts.
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, we're just at it as
Speaker 6: a friend.
Speaker 5: Where are we going in that outfit?
Speaker 2: I just want to help you.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't like, mister child, is that chill?
Speaker 4: They let me in like this on.
Speaker 5: The side, I might have some suggestions.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, cool, cool, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I don't know, dude, how do Jack,
Speaker 5: how do you.
Speaker 1: Feel about about summer? Summer is just more Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: you're right, it's the same, except way hotter, way more uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: way fewer clothing options. And then as somebody who does
Speaker 1: have kids who are school age, it just school gets
Speaker 1: replaced by either them hanging around or having to drop
Speaker 1: them at camp, which is just school but with shorter
Speaker 1: hours and like a drop off routine that nobody has
Speaker 1: figured out. And then like the by the time you
Speaker 1: get it figured out, it's the camp is over so right,
Speaker 1: it's it's not great. It's not got to get them
Speaker 1: in an arts camp man. Yeah, yeah, you know, like
Speaker 1: you're learning piano, that's right.
Speaker 6: Go I wish I was forced to keep up with
Speaker 6: the piano.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean you're a musician though, do you like noodle
Speaker 4: a little bit?
Speaker 3: Like with your keyboard?
Speaker 5: And no?
Speaker 6: You This is so sad, but I'm going to share
Speaker 6: it anyway. I used to be really good at the
Speaker 6: piano because my grandmother taught me how to play the
Speaker 6: piano and so I could play by ear. And then
Speaker 6: when my grandmother died, I like just never touched a
Speaker 6: piano again.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I know.
Speaker 5: It's like such a dummer story, but it's the truth.
Speaker 4: That's like me, I haven't played word with words with friends.
Speaker 1: And he can play that by year.
Speaker 5: Sorry, are you serious?
Speaker 3: I was just talking about that. Yes, she used to
Speaker 3: put like not that Like here's another tragedy. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you ever watched the Real World road Rules Challenge. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but when when DM passed away from cancer watching the show, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then it only came back three years ago. But
Speaker 3: like I know, when we have these moments are like
Speaker 3: there's something elass can like kind of punctuate our totally.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So right, so yeah, a perfect pitch and everything, and wow,
Speaker 3: I mean that's a that's a good skill to you know,
Speaker 3: to refine.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean now it's so much harder. It's like
Speaker 6: trying to learn a language later in life.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I get it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you have some songwriting in your background.
Speaker 3: Right I do?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I do. I started.
Speaker 6: I dropped out of college because I got a record
Speaker 6: deal and h m hmm. I guess it's a crazy
Speaker 6: story because I went to one of those like open
Speaker 6: calls and I won, So I guess that part is
Speaker 6: kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, American without the TV cameras.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, without the idol. It was just I guess me.
Speaker 6: It's an American rtory and it was rough. Like I
Speaker 6: love music. I think it's the most pure art form
Speaker 6: because it's the only art form where you get to
Speaker 6: attach meaning like you can. Music is the soundtrack to
Speaker 6: some of the most like profound moments in our life.
Speaker 6: But if you're watching like a movie or you're reading
Speaker 6: a book, you're seeing the images that other people have
Speaker 6: created and you can attach meaning to it.
Speaker 5: But it's not with you.
Speaker 6: Like there are songs that I can't listen to because
Speaker 6: they will just literally make me cry because.
Speaker 5: They just take me back right to that moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I can't think of any other artistic medium that does that.
Speaker 4: No, not artistically.
Speaker 3: I think only thing that like could potentially make me
Speaker 3: like emotional is like a smell, you know, like that
Speaker 3: kind of like a sense memory that was attached to
Speaker 3: like a like a smell or something from like a
Speaker 3: place for sure or something. But yeah, music is definitely
Speaker 3: like that, where like you hear a song and like
Speaker 3: your mind just starts going through yep.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it got really toxic for me. The business
Speaker 6: side got so ugly and.
Speaker 1: I had to know industry.
Speaker 4: I know, it's I just watched the Idol and for
Speaker 4: the guys.
Speaker 6: Okay, well that the Idol feels like that was like
Speaker 6: a weird fever coke dream.
Speaker 7: Right right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely wasn't in that. But I did just
Speaker 6: tell the story on I did a podcast and I
Speaker 6: did talk about how I was on tour with this
Speaker 6: guy and I was about to do the biggest performance
Speaker 6: that I'd done because it was like.
Speaker 5: Five thousand people at a six flags during the summer.
Speaker 5: Fuck summer, fuck summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he.
Speaker 6: In the Sprinter on the way there, in front of
Speaker 6: I was the only woman in the car, said hey,
Speaker 6: I think that we should fuck so that we have
Speaker 6: like real chemistry on stage. Oh no, wow, And my
Speaker 6: mind thought I can think of four five hundred and
Speaker 6: sixty two other things I would rather do, but instead
Speaker 6: I said I'm going to keep my job.
Speaker 5: And I said I don't think you can handle me,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 6: Like a was like a kind of semi flirty way
Speaker 6: of saying, let's not pretend that we did. And then
Speaker 6: right before we went on stage, he turned to me
Speaker 6: and he just said, don't fuck up. I can go
Speaker 6: on stage and fuck up because they're here to see me,
Speaker 6: but if you go on stage.
Speaker 4: You'll ruin the show Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6: And I was so scared, you guys, so scared. And
Speaker 6: I was in like six inch heels with like thirty
Speaker 6: pounds of fake hair.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just yeah, yeah, that definitely would
Speaker 3: be a moment where you begin to be like, this
Speaker 3: is not what I wanted to do at all.
Speaker 5: And that like wasn't even bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah, No, that wasn't even bad.
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: But you're in that moment too, where like you're sort
Speaker 3: of someone is trying to put all the forces at
Speaker 3: work like right in front of you about being like
Speaker 3: yeah and here's here are the stakes for you.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, So I just chose like a way safer,
Speaker 6: easier path and got into film and TV.
Speaker 1: There you go, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Underrated?
Speaker 6: Well, okay, this is so nerdy, but it's in theme
Speaker 6: with like me not loving summer. I have this mesh
Speaker 6: magnetic sun shield that I put up in the window
Speaker 6: of my car. Okay, so it blocks the sunlight because
Speaker 6: a lot of people have skin damage or sun damage
Speaker 6: on the left side of their face, but I don't
Speaker 6: because I have this like really thin mesh black like
Speaker 6: you put that the magnets go on the metal sides
Speaker 6: of your window and so it cuts fifty percent of
Speaker 6: the sunlight.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, now I remember the first time like I saw
Speaker 3: that was like I think it was like early Internet
Speaker 3: where they're like look at these faces of truck drivers
Speaker 3: and the left side of their face and you're like
Speaker 3: whole like and that's like the most extreme example where
Speaker 3: it's like these dudes who have never heard of sun
Speaker 3: before after picture, but just yeah, like two face shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it's like down the like almost like hemispherically.
Speaker 3: You saw like here's the sun side and here's that
Speaker 3: side that didn't get cooked in.
Speaker 5: Summer versus winter. Yeah yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 3: These are all around though, year round though, you know,
Speaker 3: just just a psa.
Speaker 6: They are, they are, And I'm obsessed with sunscreen. I
Speaker 6: get all my sunscreen from like Korea or Japan or Australia,
Speaker 6: even though Australia is illegal. I wear driving gloves.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, you just you are just like my Japanese mother.
Speaker 5: Honestly, she sounds like a queen.
Speaker 2: She had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was wearing like big sun hats with like
Speaker 3: the the Vstiviano face shield. Yeah, I like back in
Speaker 3: like nineteen ninety and and back then they didn't have
Speaker 3: driving gloves like in the US, like how they were
Speaker 3: selling in Japan, so she would wear golf gloves as
Speaker 3: like her. So she had these like white leather golf gloves,
Speaker 3: and my my friends thought she was like a drug addict.
Speaker 4: She like picked us up like if the fuck is
Speaker 4: up with her?
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, you don't understand, man, She's that's why
Speaker 3: she's gonna look like twenty years young exactly.
Speaker 5: And now everybody's probably like, is your mom in her forties?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like people like.
Speaker 3: Are blown away when I tell people my mom's like
Speaker 3: a nerd. I won't say your age, mom, but they're
Speaker 3: blown away.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, she already sounds stunning.
Speaker 3: She takes care of her skin, you know, the same
Speaker 3: thing that fair skin. You know what I mean, you
Speaker 3: gotta take care.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I just I like, that's one of my passions outside
Speaker 6: of you know, sex and relationships, Like I'm obsessss in skincare. Well,
Speaker 6: it's the largest organ in our body, thank you. So
Speaker 6: I mean I don't I don't know. Like when we
Speaker 6: talk about like self love and self care, I feel
Speaker 6: like that's a really good, great place to start. And
Speaker 6: now it's habitual for me. But I do think like
Speaker 6: if you can build in a routine, even if it's small,
Speaker 6: it's that time that you're basically saying like I love
Speaker 6: you and I'm taking care of you.
Speaker 5: And is this really hokey?
Speaker 3: This is really I only recently started using like moisturizer
Speaker 3: with a little bit of SPF in it. For the
Speaker 3: longest time, I'm like I'm good, I'm black and Asian.
Speaker 3: Look at this skin, baby, it ain't going.
Speaker 5: Nowhere honestly, probably not.
Speaker 3: But then but then other people were like, behold up.
Speaker 3: They're like, if you really want to start time traveling though,
Speaker 3: like if you start taking care of your shit like this,
Speaker 3: then like whatever. And for the longest time I had
Speaker 3: this really weird idea, like in my mind that like,
Speaker 3: you know, it's really toxic shit, Like you know, I'm
Speaker 3: a man, like I don't have to fucking do this
Speaker 3: kind of shit. And I was like, this is stupid
Speaker 3: because I have a fucking skin like everybody. And once
Speaker 3: I just got this little you know, get out the
Speaker 3: shower or whatever, start my day, put my little face
Speaker 3: moisturizer on, you know, I feel I feel good.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But okay, so now you've been doing it, right, does
Speaker 6: it make you feel like a little more accomplished or
Speaker 6: like that you are taking an extra step to just
Speaker 6: like love yourself or respect yourself in any way you
Speaker 6: can honestly say no.
Speaker 3: If it's no, I mean it's not that like I
Speaker 3: think of it explicitly as like self love or anything
Speaker 3: like that, but it feels like I'm being responsible to
Speaker 3: the vessel that my spirit is embodying, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Like I'm taking care of taking care of
Speaker 3: my spaceship there.
Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of space ships, my wife has like one
Speaker 1: of the face shields that looks like Darth Vader's mask.
Speaker 1: And I never feel more like I'm in the future
Speaker 1: than when she is rolling around with one of those.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yess where does she wear it?
Speaker 1: Uh, basically when she's driving around, when she's out out
Speaker 1: of doors during the summer. Yeah, on a walk and
Speaker 1: again skin looking good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a couple of those. They look like, Uh,
Speaker 5: I'm like kind of in like daft punk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Daft punk, Yeah, yeah, like that, but like the
Speaker 3: County Fair cover band version.
Speaker 5: Yeah a hundred a hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I went on a hike in Tahoe wearing one, and
Speaker 6: I swear to god, people thought it was famous just
Speaker 6: because it was like right.
Speaker 5: They're like, who is this psycho with a shield on?
Speaker 1: I think I think they should lean into those and
Speaker 1: those should come with like a little voice mod or
Speaker 1: something like that so it sounds like you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: speaking through like auto tune or something.
Speaker 2: Just to like.
Speaker 1: Have like a little like red like light display at
Speaker 1: the bottom. That like makes it seem like you're kit
Speaker 1: from a night.
Speaker 5: Rider, you know, yes, yes, love it all.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, we're gonna take a quick break to uh
Speaker 1: beat out the finer points of of that idea and
Speaker 1: get it into market, and then we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk about some.
Speaker 2: News and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and these these Supreme Court justices, it's equal
Speaker 1: opportunity fuckery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, this is the thing.
Speaker 3: So it's not it's not left or right, you know,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day in DC, because in DC,
Speaker 3: everybody's doing the most. Everybody's trying to get there, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. And there's a story about Justice
Speaker 3: Sonya Soda my Or that cropped up last week but
Speaker 3: was drowned out due to the you know, cacophony that
Speaker 3: is DC news. And while people were obviously rightfully focused
Speaker 3: on like Justice Thomas and Harlan Crowe and Alito and
Speaker 3: Paul Singer, Justice Soda my Ra was also in a
Speaker 3: bit of controversy. Although it is legal, I'll preface it
Speaker 3: with that. So the AP reported that for years her
Speaker 3: her staffers have been doing like a full court press
Speaker 3: on public institutions to buy hundreds, if not thousands, of
Speaker 3: copies of her books. Like you're like, you need to
Speaker 3: buy these right now. You want to go speak at
Speaker 3: that college, You want to go speak at the college,
Speaker 3: you better buy ten thousand copies of this fucking book.
Speaker 1: The library better be made of these books. The walls
Speaker 1: should be just these books. They say, it was anyone's
Speaker 1: reading them.
Speaker 3: It was described as often the implicit price of a
Speaker 3: speaking appearance by sodamayor at a law school or a library,
Speaker 3: and as a result, she's earned a three point seven
Speaker 3: million dollar advance from her memoir, and during her fourteen
Speaker 3: years on the Supreme Court, she's made just about as
Speaker 3: much money money from her books as her government salary,
Speaker 3: which is around two eighty five k year. Michigan State
Speaker 3: University spent one hundred thousand dollars to buy the memoir,
Speaker 3: with copies sent to the Supreme Court for autographing before
Speaker 3: Sodamayer spoke on campus in twenty eighteen, and then when
Speaker 3: she was going to speak at like an event in Portland, Oregon,
Speaker 3: like for like a book, a kid's book, she was
Speaker 3: promoting this quote, an anxious Supreme Court aid wrote to
Speaker 3: a local life library quote is there a reminder going
Speaker 3: out that people need to purchase a book at the
Speaker 3: event or bring a book to get into the signing line.
Speaker 3: Most of the registrants did not purchase books, so you
Speaker 3: know this is legal. But like, wow, like everybody is
Speaker 3: hustling up there, huh, Like I think it's It's definitely
Speaker 3: not the job of a Supreme Court staffer to shake
Speaker 3: down bookstores and universities for fucking change.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's literally the job of a publicist, isn't.
Speaker 1: It, right, Right, They're just like interns, like media interns.
Speaker 1: This person who graduated at the top of their like
Speaker 1: you know, one of the top law schools in the land,
Speaker 1: graduated at the top of their class, and three months
Speaker 1: later they're like, a, I'm gonna need you to buy
Speaker 1: more of those books, because right, this is that look
Speaker 1: for me, because like.
Speaker 6: When I graduated at the top of Georgetown, I didn't
Speaker 6: think I was going to be harassing librarians across the
Speaker 6: United States.
Speaker 3: Hey what, and it better be the second edition. If
Speaker 3: people put up with the first edition, they're not getting it. Okay, first,
Speaker 3: it is what it is. There's a typo on page
Speaker 3: forty two. Now again, this is, like I said, it's legal.
Speaker 3: And the other thing that's like wild is right, Supreme
Speaker 3: Court justices make two hundred and eighty five four hundred
Speaker 3: dollars per year and they retire at full pay. So
Speaker 3: you're like, isn't this in Like you know what I
Speaker 3: would have done. I would have done one fucking year
Speaker 3: in the Supreme Court and I would have retired with that.
Speaker 4: Right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: All right? Not for me?
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever done the not for me? Like the
Speaker 1: Pope did that one time, Like yeah.
Speaker 3: The German Pope did. Yeah, the German controversy too. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So again you're like you're kind of thinking, like isn't
Speaker 3: this enough. People point out that justice suitor who she
Speaker 3: like replaced, like is like doesn't do shit, Like he's
Speaker 3: taking his retirement. He lives in New Hampshire and that's it,
Speaker 3: Like that's just that's it. He's not doing anything else.
Speaker 3: And again, this is pretty much the norm at the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court since like earning book money isn't explicitly prohibited,
Speaker 3: so that's why a lot of them do it. Clarence
Speaker 3: Thomas is like raked in a million dollars from book
Speaker 3: pursuits Neil Gorsich has brought in nine hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: since he joined the court in twenty seventeen. But Amy
Speaker 3: Cony Barrett, she signed a two million dollar book deal
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 5: So kills because cults are super popular.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, except like, can you please blow
Speaker 3: the door open, the lid off the cult you're in.
Speaker 4: She's like, no, I'll talk.
Speaker 3: Around it in the room with us right now. And
Speaker 3: this pale is in comparison obviously to the shit going
Speaker 3: on with Clarence Thomas and Alito, but it helps to
Speaker 3: like serve as a reminder of what is motivating people
Speaker 3: up there. It's been clear for some time that DC
Speaker 3: is no longer a place where people go to legislate,
Speaker 3: like on behalf of constituents. It's a place where you
Speaker 3: go to get rich. You think about how many of
Speaker 3: these fucking people, especially in Congress, were making money off
Speaker 3: of stocks.
Speaker 4: After getting a COVID.
Speaker 3: Briefing, they were like, oh yeah, okay, we got to
Speaker 3: do all this because like we got some information before
Speaker 3: the market does. And it's now a point where even
Speaker 3: like people that you know, we traditionally we were perceiving
Speaker 3: as like these ideological purists are also people that are
Speaker 3: just watching everyone around them get rich on Capitol Hill
Speaker 3: and they start just thinking, Okay, yeah, I'm having that right,
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's shouldn't be so surprising now, Like it's
Speaker 3: it's just not enough to be powerful, Like wealth is
Speaker 3: also like you know, what makes the world go around.
Speaker 6: That's why we're in the labor strike. Yeah, and I
Speaker 6: don't just mean Hollywood, I mean just everywhere. Like that's
Speaker 6: because I think people regardless of party are like, you
Speaker 6: know what, I don't think I want to be busting
Speaker 6: my ass, while people at the top are just kind
Speaker 6: of like swapping millions back.
Speaker 1: And forth forcing me to buy their book. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't even.
Speaker 3: Read for books.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean it's it's such a bummer. It's
Speaker 5: it's I don't know, it's dark.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and again I think, but it helps,
Speaker 3: you know, to kind of begin to jettison like this
Speaker 3: idea that that these people are in it for anything
Speaker 3: other than themselves or you know, I get that some
Speaker 3: people are trying to do right, but but what the
Speaker 3: mainstream up there is people realize when you work on
Speaker 3: the Hill, you work in DC in any capacity, that
Speaker 3: means that gives you can you can turn that into
Speaker 3: a very lucrative career, and a lot of people do
Speaker 3: it while they are in office, while most you know,
Speaker 3: once they leave office or whatever, then they can turn
Speaker 3: that into a sweet consulting dealer or some shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I used to be really involved in politics. I
Speaker 5: stepped off of two boards in the last couple of years.
Speaker 6: I don't want to say too much, but I guess
Speaker 6: what I will say is I did it for my
Speaker 6: mental health because things started to just what you're talking about,
Speaker 6: and also feeling like every day it was life or death,
Speaker 6: and I was like, you know what, I can't take
Speaker 6: this on anymore. I have to start like creating some
Speaker 6: boundaries in my life because it truly was ruining my
Speaker 6: mental health.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I worked in I was a lobbyist
Speaker 4: for a number of years.
Speaker 3: And I thought, so you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 3: I was just like, now I'm done. I'll do comedy
Speaker 3: the same thing. I was like, I'd rather be I
Speaker 3: think comedy is better.
Speaker 5: At least these psychos come with jokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean we saw this with a private
Speaker 1: equity story, like when we kind of dove deep into
Speaker 1: the private equity industry. Like, how many of those kind
Speaker 1: of invisible companies that are massive and basically control how
Speaker 1: business is done in this country form like names you
Speaker 1: recognize because of their jobs, either in the Trump administration
Speaker 1: or in the Obama administration. Doesn't there they're all employing
Speaker 1: the same like business managers and you know investors, they're not.
Speaker 1: There's not like one for liberal people with good, you know,
Speaker 1: good intentions. I think they're all kind of have the
Speaker 1: same strategist working to like build their personal wealth.
Speaker 2: Probably.
Speaker 6: It's just like it kind of goes back to I
Speaker 6: don't know how you guys feel about this, but if
Speaker 6: I walk into a party and there are people I
Speaker 6: don't fuck with at that part, I still don't fuck
Speaker 6: with them.
Speaker 5: I don't care that we're at the same party.
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that you have to be rude
Speaker 6: or whatever, but I truly do have like a line
Speaker 6: that I follow, and it's just kind of how I
Speaker 6: lead my life. So when I see people who have
Speaker 6: said awful things to each other or they hold diametrical
Speaker 6: like opposing views and then they're chopping it up, laughing whatever,
Speaker 6: I'm like, are you this is all this is a joke.
Speaker 5: This is just like a ruse.
Speaker 6: Because if I said something highly offensive about one of
Speaker 6: you and then we ran into each other at coffee,
Speaker 6: I would expect you to be like, I don't see you, right,
Speaker 6: You're invisible to me.
Speaker 4: But now we're making money. Baby, you know what that means.
Speaker 4: Good to see.
Speaker 3: You know that was great.
Speaker 4: You know those shots you fired, that was cool. You
Speaker 4: know I'm coming back to got a book coming out.
Speaker 4: Good to see.
Speaker 3: And then they'll have the same agent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take another quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: be right back to talk Disney World and other bullshit.
Speaker 1: And we're back and all right. So there have been
Speaker 1: countless breathless reports about how attendance at Disney parks has
Speaker 1: plummeted in recent weeks. Apparently nobody is at disney World,
Speaker 1: which is so empty this summer. So just some headlines
Speaker 1: from CNN, nobody was there? What's behind the summer slump
Speaker 1: at disney World in the Universal Studios, Why Disney World
Speaker 1: is so empty this summer? Disney World hasn't felt this
Speaker 1: empty in years?
Speaker 2: From the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1: And so of course Rondes Santa's right wing outlets are
Speaker 1: attributing this to Disney's woke agenda, and Breitbart argued the
Speaker 1: fact that Disney has openly embraced grooming is a factor,
Speaker 1: which that's.
Speaker 3: Just like not even oh whatever, yeah, I get it, yes, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, we don't we actually don't
Speaker 3: know how many people.
Speaker 1: This is all based on, like you can look at
Speaker 1: the lines in Disney World and be like.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, wait times, yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait times, and so it's all anecdotal, the anecdotal and
Speaker 1: based on wait times. So I mean, one thing that's
Speaker 1: even in the people who are giving like actual thought
Speaker 1: to this, they're not mentioning the fact that it's we're
Speaker 1: going through an unprecedented heat wave right now. But yeah, recession,
Speaker 1: heat wave, you know, none of those things.
Speaker 3: Okay, Joe Byron said, it's not. Yeah, And those unemployment
Speaker 3: numbers look great unless you have a job and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: why do I need three of them?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean even the Wall Street Journal is
Speaker 1: acknowledging that the real reason, and this should be surprising
Speaker 1: to no one who's actually taken two seconds to think
Speaker 1: about this is capitalism. So Disney like has been jacking
Speaker 1: up their prices, they limited eliminated free amenities, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people are pissed or have simply been like
Speaker 1: priced out of going, Like they raised the cost of
Speaker 1: their theme park tickets twice in twenty twenty two alone.
Speaker 1: There they were like, yeah, we're gonna We're gonna do
Speaker 1: that again. It wasn't enough, you guys, weren't pain enough.
Speaker 1: And there's actually a really good chart that our writer
Speaker 1: Jam put in the story of just what the pricing
Speaker 1: looks like over the past fifty years, and like compared
Speaker 1: to wages, Yeah, compared to national average wage index. And
Speaker 1: up until the early eighties it was like kind of
Speaker 1: at the same level, and then you know, mid eighties
Speaker 1: it starts taking off, and then over the last five
Speaker 1: ten years it is it has just it's no longer
Speaker 1: like a curve. It's just a line that goes straight up, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks like upwards.
Speaker 4: It looks like a drawing of like the state of Idaho.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, you know, it's like the tip of
Speaker 1: West Virginia, right exactly?
Speaker 4: Is that what happened there? It's called greed.
Speaker 3: It's wild though, too, because man, I remember when I
Speaker 3: was a kid, Disneyland was some shit you could like
Speaker 3: go to, you know what I mean, Like, especially if
Speaker 3: you're like a south southern California resident. I remember, like
Speaker 3: the commercials were like thirty nine dollars, which was not
Speaker 3: cheap like in the nineties, but still nowhere near now
Speaker 3: where it's like you got like one ninety on you.
Speaker 6: Thirty nine that's not even You can't even go to
Speaker 6: the movies for that now right in.
Speaker 3: A park at the movies for dollars, right, real, real, yeah,
Speaker 3: for real.
Speaker 1: But the really fucked up thing is that this is
Speaker 1: actually part of Disney's plan. Like they're raising their prices
Speaker 1: to price people out because they want attendance to drop,
Speaker 1: because they make more money that way. Because with like
Speaker 1: it's not like nobody's going, it's just slightly fewer people come.
Speaker 1: Like the thing that we're looking at, it's like the
Speaker 1: lines are usually an hour and a half at this time,
Speaker 1: but they're actually slower, you know, they're they're in the
Speaker 1: reasonable range that allows more people to do more things
Speaker 1: when they're there. It's only very rich people who can go,
Speaker 1: who can like pay the price of admission. It allows
Speaker 1: those really rich people to just have more physical space
Speaker 1: to operate and the thing that they do when they're
Speaker 1: in those parks is spend just shitloads of money.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they got their whole island per capitist spending,
Speaker 3: like yeah, that's the model.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all they talk about in their earnings calls
Speaker 1: is per capita spending. And that's like they actually discovered
Speaker 1: this accidentally during the pandemic that like the parks were
Speaker 1: much more sparsely attended yea, and when they were, like
Speaker 1: per capita spending just like shot up, and so they
Speaker 1: were like, oh holy shit, it's like they buy eight
Speaker 1: more turos when there's less so many turos.
Speaker 5: Honestly, if nobody's watching, I would eat more turos too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love I love true.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Okay, question though, does Disney still have the death grip
Speaker 6: on kids that it did when we were growing up?
Speaker 2: It does?
Speaker 1: It does because they have Star Wars that like, you
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of options. I mean you have
Speaker 1: like Universe, like you have the the Minions, but that's
Speaker 1: also the fucked up thing, like I don't have to
Speaker 1: be rooting for the fucking Minions and Universal.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, no minions options.
Speaker 3: Look what it's done to us. I mean, but you
Speaker 3: think about too, right, people fucking go into debt to
Speaker 3: go into Disneyland. Yeah, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 3: like it for the longest time has been dangled in
Speaker 3: front of American families as sort of like the pinnacle
Speaker 3: of family vacations is like going to Disney World.
Speaker 4: We're going to Disneyland.
Speaker 3: And when you add a flights, hotel, food multiple days there,
Speaker 3: like that's that shit is not cheap. And that's what
Speaker 3: it's like so odd that their strategy is like not
Speaker 3: even to like keep keep the park to be like
Speaker 3: this place where you know, like many people want to
Speaker 3: go and are able to.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, now, man, we got to keep these
Speaker 4: broke motherfuckers out because they're not spending enough.
Speaker 5: So the hottest the hottest club in LA is now Disneyland.
Speaker 4: Seriously. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: They're gonna add velvet ropes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like I tried to get a Dole whip by
Speaker 3: the Jungle Cruise ride, but they said my ratios were
Speaker 3: all fucked up.
Speaker 5: When I was in line, I wasn't on the list.
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're like, na, man, some more females bro.
Speaker 2: My mom.
Speaker 5: That would really that would really set the right off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yeah, but yeah, I.
Speaker 2: I travel with a lot of girls.
Speaker 1: That turns out, uh no it and speaking of dolps,
Speaker 1: it doesn't receive as much attention. But like everything within
Speaker 1: the parks has gotten way more expensive. They've just been
Speaker 1: quietly helping the prices of their merchandise sometimes like what
Speaker 1: one item has like reportedly doubled in recent years, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I guess a bunch of items have doubled, and
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just fucked up. It's the whole it's
Speaker 1: the whole point of what they're doing. They're doing it
Speaker 1: on purpose. This is not surprising to them when they
Speaker 1: see the shorter lines. It's just kind of if the.
Speaker 3: If the whole fucking if conservatives weren't so fucking obsessed
Speaker 3: with like gay bashing and ship right now, they'd have
Speaker 3: like an argument that would have a more populist appeal
Speaker 3: by saying, do you understand what Disney is doing to
Speaker 3: people right now? Yeah, they are trying to fuck you over,
Speaker 3: and they are trying to wring you out for every
Speaker 3: single fucking dollar you have because that benefits them as
Speaker 3: a business. But because they're also like of that mindset,
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, it's because it's because they're woke, and
Speaker 3: I can't There's no way I could articulate that what
Speaker 3: they're doing is price gouging, because that's what that's kind
Speaker 3: of the norm right now, and we're not the party of.
Speaker 4: Calling that out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And it's also like they would have to admit that
Speaker 5: they vote against their own interest.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I if you are a Republican and you are really
Speaker 6: really wealthy, I get it.
Speaker 5: I truly get it.
Speaker 6: You know, like, do I think it's cool that you're
Speaker 6: prioritizing your bank account over the rights of other human beings. No,
Speaker 6: that's just not my vibe because I'm not evil. But
Speaker 6: when people, when the majority of the party that doesn't
Speaker 6: actually qualify for those tax breaks or any of that,
Speaker 6: try to claim that this is the party that sees them,
Speaker 6: I'm like, wow, yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, they see their grievances with you know, like racial
Speaker 3: equity or other societal you know, movements towards equity that
Speaker 3: are happening around them, they're like, yeah, man, we think.
Speaker 4: That's fucked up too. And they're like, okay, okay, I
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 6: Well, then let's talk about the fact that California and
Speaker 6: New York basically subsidize most of the middle of the country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I think this is all part of the the chaos
Speaker 3: of like living in this country especially and like and
Speaker 3: having to toil nonstoff. Yeah, just you'll people don't get
Speaker 3: a break to fucking like wait for the dust to
Speaker 3: settle and like look around them. And when they did
Speaker 3: in the beginning, like at the at the start of
Speaker 3: the pandemic, people are.
Speaker 4: Like, oh shit, they're figuring it out. Theyke them go
Speaker 4: back to work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so's yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: It's hard. It's hard. It's hard out here.
Speaker 1: It is hard out here for all of us. All right,
Speaker 1: And finally, let's talk about what's on everyone's mind. Are
Speaker 1: you allowed to wear shorts on a plane?
Speaker 2: Doesn't know?
Speaker 3: Okay, so okay, interesting, I'm not I'm not here to
Speaker 3: say one way or the other, but apparently this is
Speaker 3: most people seem to be of the.
Speaker 4: Belief that you can only wear pants on a plane.
Speaker 3: And this debate has only sparked up recently because of
Speaker 3: all the heat that like people are experiencing. People are
Speaker 3: like anecdotally talking about how they're stuck on a tarmac
Speaker 3: in a plane with like no air conditioning and how
Speaker 3: hot it is, and they're like, fuck, I'm wearing jeans
Speaker 3: in here, Like what the fuck am I doing? Other
Speaker 3: people are like, I will wear shorts because when I
Speaker 3: get off the plane, I'm going somewhere hot and I
Speaker 3: don't want to be wearing pants.
Speaker 4: I want to acclimate quickly.
Speaker 3: Well, the people who say you cannot wear shorts, the
Speaker 3: main argument just seems to be about hygiene. They're like, yo,
Speaker 3: planes are fucking gross. Yeah, so don't get your legs
Speaker 3: on nothing in there. I'm I get why, Like when
Speaker 3: I've been hot on a plane before and I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 3: why am I wearing? Like if I wore shorts does
Speaker 3: have been better? But I also get to jack to
Speaker 3: your point, cold up there?
Speaker 1: It gets cold up there.
Speaker 3: I guess it's one of those things. Personally, I've always
Speaker 3: worn pants, but I've never I've never batted an eye
Speaker 3: at someone that wore shorts.
Speaker 4: On a plane.
Speaker 6: No, neither have I. But I just wanted to be controversial.
Speaker 6: So and I think optically pants just look better.
Speaker 3: That's like what Larry David said in kurb Oh. You know,
Speaker 3: there's like there's a scene in kurb where Larry's talking
Speaker 3: about wearing like not wearing shorts on a plane, and
Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, bare legs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not the most not the most appealing thing to
Speaker 4: look at.
Speaker 5: No, they're not the most appealing thing to look at.
Speaker 6: Also, like I'm just like super neurotic and this idea
Speaker 6: that like if the plane goes down and I survive,
Speaker 6: which magical thinking, but I want to have pants on
Speaker 6: just so that my legs don't get screat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, becaukaye, the bottom of your pants
Speaker 1: turned into a flotation device. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: Totally have you.
Speaker 3: I saw a thing on I think it was like
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, like in the nineties about fires, fire hazards on.
Speaker 5: I'm obsessed with your memory.
Speaker 6: I don't know if people point that out, but like,
Speaker 6: you've got an incredible I recall I.
Speaker 4: Talk about this all the time.
Speaker 3: It's just chock full of dumb shit that I don't
Speaker 3: know if you know, yeah, you know it is what
Speaker 3: it is. I don't even remember my own son's name.
Speaker 4: I called it. I called it torn this morning. That's
Speaker 4: not even the fuck was that.
Speaker 3: But like name on it, it's a great name, but
Speaker 3: on on this thing they were talking about how like
Speaker 3: people who wear hosiery like the like, because this was
Speaker 3: how like in the nineties it was. They're like, hosiery
Speaker 3: will melt to your skin in the event of like
Speaker 3: an electrical anything and forgive you terrible fucking burns. That's
Speaker 3: why cotton pants are the safest thing to wear on
Speaker 3: an airplane in the event of some kind of like fire,
Speaker 3: heat whatever. And I was like, ever since that, I've
Speaker 3: been like, oh my god, because I remember seeing this
Speaker 3: thing where they like melted like like you know, synthetic
Speaker 3: hosiary to like a mannequin's leg, and they're.
Speaker 4: Like, that's what the fuck will happen.
Speaker 6: I was like, it was really wild in the nineties.
Speaker 6: But by the way, just as like a tip to
Speaker 6: anybody listening that does have kids or is an adult
Speaker 6: that might be accident prone, if you ever do get burned,
Speaker 6: the thing you're supposed to do is immediately strip down,
Speaker 6: take all of the clothing off, and run that spot
Speaker 6: under twenty minutes of continuous cool water.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, just so yeah.
Speaker 5: And also also call nine with one butter that's.
Speaker 2: Better than what I had.
Speaker 3: I butter it up, butter it up, like I butter
Speaker 3: lay a couple of bacon strips on there and let
Speaker 3: God do his thing.
Speaker 5: No, you need to stop the burn.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, see they didn't talk about this in the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty episode. Well maybe, but since then, I also
Speaker 3: have the same thing of like when I put pants on,
Speaker 3: like IM getting burned up on.
Speaker 5: That exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: So I guess we all bring our own neurosis onto
Speaker 3: our clothing choices. Yeah, yeah, Jack, what about you?
Speaker 4: It's just purely for the cold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I think it's purely for the cold.
Speaker 2: I haven't thought that much.
Speaker 1: I am very aware of how dirty planes are. But
Speaker 1: I also don't wear my driving gloves on the plane,
Speaker 1: you know, So that's I don't like it for people
Speaker 1: who are concerned about their legs touching dirty things, how
Speaker 1: are they oprading with their hands?
Speaker 5: Who?
Speaker 6: I mean, I date men like this whole conversation is
Speaker 6: really like a moot point for me, because I'm yeah,
Speaker 6: I put terrible things in my mouth all the time.
Speaker 5: I mean, if we're being really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I.
Speaker 3: Mean you did. I mean, I guess you would say
Speaker 3: that it's a secondary or tertiary concern considering that you
Speaker 3: searched like s c I rates and toxicity is two
Speaker 3: and three.
Speaker 4: So right, I get that. It's like you bugging me
Speaker 4: that much.
Speaker 6: But yeah, dar well okay those are related to the show.
Speaker 6: But yes, but I I.
Speaker 5: I'm also interested in those topics.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but I get it too, Like you can't.
Speaker 3: I know the idea too where it's like, sure it's
Speaker 3: dirty up there, but like if you really want to
Speaker 3: apply that, like then you got to be consistent with
Speaker 3: your threat assessment.
Speaker 4: Because yeah, where's filthy and I am not.
Speaker 5: And it's like so weird when we're like very into
Speaker 5: things that are dirty versus things that are not.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like it's just wild. I mean I mean
Speaker 4: food off the fucking ground. Yeah, like regularly, you know, like.
Speaker 2: Like almost as a rule, it's weird.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well I'm like, oh someone who drops I'm like,
Speaker 3: sirre you dropped that pepperoni size?
Speaker 4: Can I have it?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 3: Ah, that's why people stay broke, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because people dropping money.
Speaker 4: All over the place.
Speaker 6: Okay, but maybe that's also how you're not getting sick
Speaker 6: that often because your immune system is on X mode.
Speaker 7: Yeah, goblin modelin mode. Yeah, my hack for this is
Speaker 7: just when you're on the plane. If you're wearing shorts,
Speaker 7: do not use your calves and shins to eat the
Speaker 7: food only when you're on the plane.
Speaker 2: Just use your.
Speaker 1: Hands instead and wash those you have like a nice
Speaker 1: hand sanitizer.
Speaker 4: Or if your shorts are short, your hamstrings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, once you get back to the airport, you can
Speaker 1: start using your calves and shins again to consume food
Speaker 1: as we all do. Oh my god, well, Rory, it's
Speaker 1: been such a pleasure having you.
