1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Michelle.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, Jordan, Hey, everybody, welcome to adulting.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: What are you yawning for? What are you yawning for?

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: People keep asking me why I'm yawning, And to be honest,

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: I have shortness of breath, Like really, yeah, I have

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: shortness of breath. It's what happens when you have anxiety.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: You have short breaths, and therefore you take in SIPs

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: of oxygen and so you yawn, and so people look

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: at you, and people look at me and think I'm

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: bored or I'm tired, And no, not tired, not bored,

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: just I have really big tits. I have a lot

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: of things to carry on my chest and sometimes it's

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: just hard to breathe.

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: I have four and a half year old twins, two dogs,

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: a mortgage, a loving relationship, a car that just had

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: a flat tire that we had to fix, like I

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: got a bunion that just won't stop. I'm also allowed

19
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: to yawn.

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: How are you not yawning more?

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: That's the question you should have started with.

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 3: Jordan's Okay, how am I?

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? How are you? I feel? Actually? I feel good today.

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I have had less pain getting up and getting down,

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: but I still sigh an ache, you know what I'm saying,

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, like when you get down on a couch

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: and shit like that. Yeah, I'm not even in pain.

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: I know. Why do that?

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Because it's been a long life. It's been a long life,

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 2: you know. It's about doing all the things, the mental

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: gymnastics of what it's like to be an adult. Yes,

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: and to give a fuck, because you know, that's why

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: the selfish aunties and stuff lived to the like one

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: hundred and two with like nice nails.

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: We love her, you know, I was trying to give you.

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: A handshake with a five dollar bill, not for you.

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: That five dollars isn't for you. It's for you to

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: go get her cigarettes.

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, oh my god.

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: This sounds crazy because we obviously have to breathe to

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: be alive. But I don't think we breathe enough, Like

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: we don't pay attention to our breath enough. So like

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: if we just just take a minute to like, did you.

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Do a little meditation video? I feel like you did

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: a meditation video?

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: No, When would I have time to ask me if

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: I was brushing my teeth while I was taking a

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: shower and ordering Uber eats for people, ask me that shit?

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: A meditation video. No, bitch, no what am I Gwyneth Paltrow.

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: I don't have a team of people to do shit

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: for me, and therefore I can go meditate.

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: No.

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: The meditating is like I hope I get to my

54
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: destination on time. And the meditating is I hope my

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: kids don't get COVID. Not because they would be in danger.

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: They wouldn't. I just don't need them home from school,

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

58
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need them out there because you've made plans

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: and if they come home, oh my god, it's ruined.

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: I've even made plans to rest, because resting can be producted.

61
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying.

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: Is we are making noises when we get up and

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: down because we have done it so many times and

64
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: we don't give ourselves enough like attention and grace just

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: to be still and breathe.

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: That's all. So you're saying, it's not the years, it's

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the miles. I got you. I feel you. It's the

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: miles yo.

69
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: I love it when you always bring it back to Texas,

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: you bet, and bring it back to what I do.

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: That just sounds like something somebody in Texas would say,

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: and they could apply to anything it can apply to sex,

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: it could be applied to anything. That's the only thing I.

74
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: Can think of.

75
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm like anything.

76
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah and anighte years it's the Miles baby, that's straight

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: from Texas. It's true. I do have a lot of parlances.

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry I whipped one out at a parent

00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: conference like parent teacher whatever PTO meeting. Yes, yeah, and

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I did that. It was like we

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: were talking to some bureaucrat and he was like saying, like,

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the new curriculum is working with the schools, and I

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: was like, sir, you're trying to ride two horses of

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: one ass, and that's one dog that's not gonna hunt,

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: you know. And people were like huh. You know. But

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: I'd had an edible before, so I was like, I'm

00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna just be me oh so yeah, which is not

88
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: what you want.

89
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you can have an edible and go

90
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: to a parent teacher conference. Absolutely, I don't. Absolutely, I

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: don't wonder that. I to me, that sounds crazy. That

92
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: sounds like that sounds as like painful, as like sobering

93
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: up on a plane ride. It sounds like it's like

94
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: its own special kind of hell, like.

95
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: What, No, I need it. You have anxieties. You have anxieties.

96
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: I have anxieties, so I need it from my anxieties.

97
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: I know, but that would make me more anxious. I'm

98
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: glad that it works for you.

99
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, it makes me like I'm the black member

100
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: of the band Steely Dan. I feel like I'm so

101
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: mellowed out, like my backbone. It just becomes like it's

102
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: it's so good for me. I have to do it

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: at the right time, of course, like I have to

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: time it out. Oh my god, that he needs his pills.

105
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,840

Speaker 2: tired dad, and I love it because it was just

107
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: sounds and noises and just feeling like a song.

108
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, Baron Vaughn, let me know. Stop. We

109
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: were separated at birth. You know, we were separated at birth.

110
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

111
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: If you guys don't know who Baron Vaughn is, please

112
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: look him up. He's a hilarious comedian and actor and musician.

113
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: He sings and he wraps, and he's done Broadway and

114
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,600

00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: I get.

116
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's Baron Von. That's when you know he's

117
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: coming down the street.

118
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: I have to tell you, I am very self conscious

119
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: around other parents, Like I don't like it, like the

120
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: school vibe. Why I don't like it because everyone has

121
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: such it's there's no middle ground, okay, Like everyone has

122
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: very strong opinions of like how it should go, or

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: people are just waiting in the back waiting for it

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: to be over so they can go home.

125
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I feel you.

126
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: It feels like there's no like middle ground conversation, Like

127
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: each kid has its own personality needs and stuff. Yes,

128
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: my inner child is triggered because it takes me back

129
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: to like a Thanksgiving dinner where it's like you're the

130
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: loud person, yes, or the quiet person just waiting for

131
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving to be over, and you hope no one picks

132
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: on you. And so I never I don't have my group,

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: I don't have my bag. When I sort of go

134
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: into the dog park with my dogs, you know, I

135
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: was new to having a dog and dog behavior, and

136
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: so I kind of had to like find out who

137
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: I was too, because I'm like, I'm going to keep

138
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: her on the leash and over here, So like what

139
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: kind of parent are you in that situation.

140
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to just right there. I have to say, like,

141
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: like people at my school, my school is so wonderfully quaint.

142
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah that I'm thought of as the cool I'm the

143
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: cool dad.

144
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 4: Oh and let.

145
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: That wash over you like a fine mist. And then but.

146
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: You you are who was missy in here?

147
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: Okay, So what you need to band together? And we

148
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: really banded together this year. What you need is common enemy.

149
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: The common enemy then takes all the demos together and

150
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: it just brings them together so much. We have a

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: common enemy now, and we didn't know who we were

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: as a people until it was almost like taken away

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: from us. Now we're like all the demos got you.

154
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: You're over here, you're doing different stuff. My kids don't

155
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: like your kids. We chill.

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the long line of the DMV. Yes, everybody

157
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,560

Speaker 2: it was so simple back then. And uh, I have

314
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: been doing comedy on a wayfair rug in the theater

315
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: for a very long time. And what was so sweet

316
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: is that, I mean, the love has been overwhelming in

317
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: a way that I've I don't mean to cry, but

318
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: you know how bitch is Like, it's so nice when

319
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: people are a fan but also are like minded people

320
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: who just feel inspired. But what was really sweet is

321
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: that someone yelled at me. They're like, how's Jordan?

322
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: We miss him? What?

323
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like someone heckled me about how you are.

324
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: What did you tell them?

325
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: I was like, he's probably at home reading the New

Speaker 1: to be in there.

331
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: First of all, you don't tell someone you're going to

332
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: be in the New Yorker that's insane.

333

Speaker 2: work speak for itself.

342
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: And she won't say it, but I'm going to say

343
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: right now. So it was written by Hilton All, who's

344
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: like the major bread we equidic for The New Yorker,

345
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: and he had nothing but kind words to say about you,

346
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: about what you're trying to do with your comedy. It

347
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: was fantastic. It was kind of like, it's what you

348
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: want to hear, and you could tell that not only

349
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: were they a fan, but they were giving a critical

350
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: analysis of your artistic expression. So Airhorn for that, I'm

351
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: just like, I was so proud of you, and I

352
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: am so proud of you.

353
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: Oh thank you. Your wife send me the cutest video

354
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: of your daughter. Yeah, just excited because she saw Hazel

355
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: and Otis's name. By the way, your daughter's so cool.

356
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: She's reading the New Yorker.

357
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: What, yes, yes, already she comes up with cartoons. My

358
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: daughter's ten years old, but she comes up with editorial

359
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: cartoons that could definitely like go like.

360
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: She should do it, because I tell you what. When

361
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: I was ten, yeah, or eleven, I used to make

362
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: my own magazines at a construction paper, and I lived

363
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: in a cul de sac, and so I was like

364
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: we were really close with like the seven houses like

365
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: in that circle, and so I would make this magazine

366
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: about all the happenings that like went down, like somebody's

367
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: dog poop, right, I learned whatever, like somebody covered their pool,

368
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: like you know, I just did all that stuff, and

369
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: I called it head over heels and then I put

370
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: like a sage drew a severed head and like put

371
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: it in a shoe, not an actual shoe, but like

372
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: a it was a sticker shoe. It was frightening. But

373
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: I I was just like very literal, and I put

374
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: it in everyone's mailbox listen for like I guess a

375
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: few times. And then like some people were like, hey,

376
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: can you tell your daughter stop putting shit my mailbox?

377
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously they didn't have any vision like

378
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: I hope they have a Netflix password, bitch. Yeah, but

379
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: like that's how it starts, right, Like you have these seats,

380
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: these germs, and it's like up to us to help them,

381
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: you know, plant it and grow it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: She was really excited about it. Me and Jeanne went

00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: to college together.

387
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: How old her daughter?

Speaker 1: I just want you to know that. And she's a

390
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: faithful listener of this show, and she was really excited.

391
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: She loved your show in San Francisco. Where did you

392
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: perform in San Francisco?

397
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,639

441
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: We should all drink more water. Do you like the

442
00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,960

443
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: I love water very badly, and I am one hundred

00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: There's what are you talking about? You just chugged water

447
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: in front of us. How is that not healthy? And

448

Speaker 1: look at your skin you're glowing.

449
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: Yes, but I'm not drinking it to be healthy. I'm

450
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 4: drinking it because I'm thirsty. When you're thirsty all the time?

451

00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 4: thing and make it something bad.

455
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: Not to be weird.

456
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: But do you have to pee all the time of

457
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: the day and night?

458
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

459
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,439

Speaker 2: aisle seat on an airplane. Yeah, because I gotta get up. Yeah,

466
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm tired of putting my ass in someone's face to

00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: try and cross over him.

468
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: Right, they don't deserve it, They don't.

469
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 4: They don't.

470
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: It's true, It's true. Yeah, Now that just that also

471
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: means you have good circulation. Though, if the water's going

472
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: in and out, it does mean you have good circulation.

473
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: Really, is that right?

474
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

475
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,080

480
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: treadmill all the time. It makes me seem small.

481
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I get a jazzer size vibe from you, like you

482
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,480

486
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: is it. This is the maximum. I'm always here typing

487
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: at this computer right here.

488
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: I was about to say, being a writer, right, and

489
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: in those writers rooms, like how you'll back like you

490
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 2: got to touch your toes? Do you stand up and write?

491
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: Like nobody really can fully understand. And because people usually

492
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: have desk jobs, no shade, you do what you do

493
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: when you sort of like check out, right, and you

494
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: do what you gotta do. But like being a writer

495
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: in a writer's room with people trying to come up

496
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: with ideas and use your brain, you got to listen

497
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: to people's old ass stories about like get to the point,

498
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: why did you take me on the seventeen minute journey

499
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200

00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: I'm not naming names, but you know who you want.

504
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, how is your body, your mind, your

505
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,480

00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, your spurt, talk about it.

507
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: My spurt spirar. I like to use work as a

508
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: reason to go goof around. I love work, I love

509
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,040

00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 4: it is Montsory school. Fucking you could fully go lay

511
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: down under your desk and people would be like, that's funny,

512
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,080

Speaker 4: to eat steaks.

522
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: People think you get really hungry when you work out.

523
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: You get really hungry when you think a lot. It's

524
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: a mental workout.

525
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 4: It's true. I know that sounds silly, but I'm hungry

526
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 4: a lot because I'm sitting here going and then he

527
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: said this, and then that happened, and then and then

528
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: and then.

529
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's your process then? Like do you wake

530
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: up super early and then just start writing all day?

531
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: Are you a by night person? Like? Who are you?

532
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: Or is the process that you don't have no process.

533
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: That could be a process too.

534
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: You know when I say a lot that can't possibly

535
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 4: be well received, but I have no proof is that

536
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,560

546
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: h huh, those are writing hours and I fill them

547
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,560

Speaker 2: to people what you just did.

554
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,520

596
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: People are so tired of probably hearing that. But I'm like,

597
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,199

598
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,600

609
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: turned into love, which I think is so rare in

610
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: our line of work, because people be peopling, they get jealous,

611
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: they get insecure, they get resentful, whatever it is. It's

612
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: so rare to like see people still have light behind

613
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: their eyes and be full of joy and want to

614
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 2: celebrate and lift each other up. That's the vibe I

615
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,080

00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 4: And it was you know, Reagan, and we were like, oh,

628
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 4: isn't that bad? And then now it's us being like,

629
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: this is the end of the world. But is it.

630
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: I had to let to my kids all the time

631
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and I just say it's the end of humanity and

632
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the world, and they're like, oh

633
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: much better, but yes, and both of you changed the

634
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: molecules around in a room. Have to say this. By

635
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: the way, Amber, now that I have you on the line,

636
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: my mother is convinced that you are our cousin. She

637
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: saw you do your thing at the Aveny one hundred.

638
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: She hosted and killed it, crushed it almost like about

639
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: a year ago this time. Oh yeah, it was the

640
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: blackest night of our lives.

641
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: So fun.

642
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the blackest out of our lives. It should just

643
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: be called the blackest out of our lives.

644
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: Super fun.

645
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so just set it up. Amber was the

646
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: host of the Ebony Power one hundred, which was like

647
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: celebrating one hundred African Americans who were dipping it and

648
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: doing it. And you made several costume changes. It's great

649
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: and we're riffing and crushing. I mean, Quinta Brunson was there,

650
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Garca was there? So many, so many Spike Lee was there?

651
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: Is there a question?

652
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I just I wanted to say, like where

653
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: your people come from? Oh, should because my mom is

654
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: convinced that we're related.

655
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: My that Bee is from Portsmouth, Virginia and mom is

656
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 4: from Savannah, Georgia.

657
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: That's enough for me. We related.

658
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: These are very pretty places, they're cute people, They're very

659
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: pretty places with small airports.

660
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, bad airports, great places.

661
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. I realized in my late thirties, I'm really just

662
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: gonna have friends that are around big airports. That's one

663
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: thing I kind of realized, you know what I mean,

664
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: because I don't really believe in flyover states. I feel

665
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of worthy people. But I do

666
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: love me like I love a good person from a

667
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: small town. That's fun.

668
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. And you know what's funny.

669
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: My dad got a job when I was first born

670
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: in Nebraska, but my mom had a job in Philly,

671
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 2: and so he was like, Okay, I'll stay, and so

672
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: that's why we live in Philly, New York and Central Jersey.

673
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: But like, there was a moment where I was it

674
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: it bit a baby, and I was about to go

675
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 2: to Omaha, which is probably why you wanted steaks in

676
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: the middle of the day.

677
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: Probably I can.

678
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 4: Get a steak eight for sure, and I could have a

679
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 4: lot I believe it, and I'm good at chug of

680
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 4: water and chewing steak.

681
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: By the way, read your book, the book you wrote

682
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: with her sister, and so much we need to talk

683
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: about Omaha, like we need to talk about Kevin. What's

684
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: up down with? Oh my? Like it's real, it's so real.

685
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: It's so racialist's part of it. It's so unremitting. I

686
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh my, you need to take a smoke

687
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: break or something like. Second title of the book, I'm

688
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: guessing the working title was like, Omaha, don't go there.

689
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Was it like because it's terrified?

690
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: All right? The first title was your hair is old

691
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: and terrible because that's a quote from something a lady

692
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 4: said Lacy.

693
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, let's set this up a

694
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: little bit more. Go ahead.

695
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 4: There's a book my sister and I wrote which went

696
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: on to become a New York Times bestseller, damn called

697
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 4: You'll never Believe what happened to Lacey Crazy Stories about racism.

698
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: And it's just all the funny stories Lacey has about

699
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: being discriminated against. And it's jaw dropping. It's jaw dropping.

700
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: You just you would never believe it, except you you

701
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: super do.

702
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

703
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what's it like being the only black female

704
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 2: a lot of times in these situations in Hollywood?

705
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 4: I mean, go on, it's weirder to not be at

706
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: this point. Yeah, I mean like I had my show

707
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: and we were black.

708
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

709
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 4: But other than that, I couldn't tell you. Yeah, isn't

710
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: that sad?

711
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: Were you like the only black in class when you

712
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: were growing up and that might have gotten you prepared

713
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: for this or were was it more like an integrated

714
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: setting that you grew up in.

715
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 4: I feel like we grew up maybe it was closer

716
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: to fifty to fifty black and white. Okay, but then

717
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: the second I got out of school, man, it just it.

718
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: It became very white. Yeah, the world was white. I

719
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: quickly found out that the world is white.

720
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

721
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: You know, it's so funny, Like I always feel like

722
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: love is love. I have definitely dated and dipped in

723
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: a lot of I celebrated my body with a lot

724
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: of different people.

725
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: Go on, Oh, way to say it.

726
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: That's what Jordan always calls it, a celebration of bodies.

727
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: That's why I was just like Jordan, because he'll never

728
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: be like, fuck it.

729
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: I will I will say, I will say fue.

730
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: I can't Oh, God, someone's husband bad of it, But

731
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 4: we both landed on men from a country the size

732
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 4: of New Jersey.

733
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: I like to call it Germany light hashtag, Nolan's hashtag,

734
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: Holland hashtag. Nobody cares whatether We call it the Netherlands

735
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: or Holland. And it's so funny because I went from

736
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: like the whitest school to be like to go to

737
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Miami just to see some black, brown, fat and queer,

738
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 2: and then I ended up being married to like the

739
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: whitest family, And I'm like, how do it? Like, like, literally,

740
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: they don't know one black person. They know a brown person.

741
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: They're cleaning lady named Fatima in the eighties. Well, you

742
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: talk about her a lot. You can call her up

743
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: to see how she's doing. But you could do it.

744
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: If you want.

745
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: Who had it?

746
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: I don't know. I love seeing you in Amsterdam this summer, though,

747
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. My taint is like a speed

748
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: bump the biking. Oh yeah, is that too much? The biking?

749
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 4: It hurts so bad for like two full weeks. Yeah,

750
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 4: and then it never hurts again because.

751
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: It's sort of dead.

752
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 4: Is that, Cris. I don't know what happens because you

753
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 4: killed but yeah, guys, yeah, my butt is dead.

754
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: A nerve has to die. Is that what she's saying?

755
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: I guess so, yeah, because it.

756
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: Feels so bad. It feels so much worse than you thing.

757
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 4: But you can't be like walking around complaining about it

758
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: because it's like, yeah, you're snizz but.

759
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like getting the little calluses off of your

760
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: feet and all of a sudden you're wearing shoes and

761
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: it's like alice hurts because it's soft.

762
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's like.

763
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's such a lovely place, though, like are we

764
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: moving here together? A wet bitch, because I'm just like,

765
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: I can't go there and not know no brown titties.

766
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 4: Holland was a great that's.

767
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: Why why are you staring off of the distance like that,

768
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: where's anymore?

769
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: You know what?

770
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: Hummanduns like for me? What it feels like a false

771
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: sense of security. Shit, ain't this nice? She is not

772
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: this nice all over the place. So if I were

773
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 2: to grow up there doing drugs and having fun and

774
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: being like, of course you could drop your wallet in

775
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: the woods and somebody would find it and bring it

776
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: back to you with all the cash. No, they wouldn't.

777
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

778
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: Of course you can go to naked co ed spas

779
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: and just like sit with your crotch out and be completely.

780
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: Falls and it's fine, that's real and it really happens.

781
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 4: People are okay, grown men and grown women sit together,

782
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,279

861
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,359

862
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 4: Okay?

863
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: Am I really missing out as a busy ass forty

864
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,200

Speaker 2: old single bitch?

869
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 4: That's not great question with the easiest answer. Oh, of

870
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 4: course not. If you were missing out, you'd go get it.

871
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 4: You're a woman. Sorry, it's very easy to get late.

872
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 4: You do it in one second. If you wanted it,

873
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 4: you would have done it by now. It's not weird

874
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 4: that it's not a priority for you. It's not weird

875
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: that your priorities don't necessarily match up with everybody else's. Ooh,

876
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: that's not weird, but I want things for sure. If

877
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 4: you wanted it, buddy, you'd have made it. You're a

878

00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: Please, you'd have made that happen. I totally agree, but

880
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: I will say it is weird that you want to

881
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: have sex. I make love.

882
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,560

897
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 2: because when you've been doing something for twenty plus years,

898
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 2: it's okay to take a motherfucking break. You're tired, especially

899
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: when it means something different to you, and you know,

900
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: relaxing as a forty six year old, big titty bitch

901
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: right now is different like relaxing to me truly is

902
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: just sitting and breathing and thinking people want to do,

903
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 2: like a group on adventure. I don't need all that.

904
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say hi, and I'm gonna you know, come late,

905
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 2: leave early, just be in bed, you know, like what

906
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: makes me happy? A clean is just as good as

907
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: an orgasm, because you know, it's easier at this point

908
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: to have it orgasm in the clean kitchen. Is that

909
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: too much? Do I just find the name of our episode?

910
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: I think you definitely unearthed the name of our episode.

911
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, but you're absolutely right. What did

912
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: you say about priorities? I already forgot it? What did

913
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 2: you say about priorities? Zamber I said?

914
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 4: Priorities are like buttholes, They're always behind you. I don't

915
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 4: know what. I'm sorry, you know, I don't know. I

916
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 4: don't know it. I thought I could maybe find it

917
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 4: if I started talking. What I was wrong? Where did

918
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: he go?

919
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: Jordan asked the next question.

920
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: Please, I'm gonna do it, but I can't look at

921
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: right now?

922
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 4: Why can't you look at me? Jordan?

923
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Both of you are staring through my soul and busting

924
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: me up. Today I don't know what it is. It

925
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 1: is a goofball day, all right. So I'm an adult

926
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: who doesn't know how to swim, but I am embarrassed

927
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: to take swimming lessons. Have you ever seen adults take lessons?

928
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: How do I get over my and just go for it?

929
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's cute, that's a good question.

930
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

931
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean I've always been big or bigger, thicker, whatever

932
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: it is. And so when I really had to gather

933
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 2: myself and get to a gym, I was definitely self

934
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: conscious because I'm just like, what's everybody doing? Are they

935
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 2: going to be looking at me? And this was in

936
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: la and like la is whatever you think la is?

937
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: And I had to suck it up and you know,

938
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 2: realize it's sort of like when people tell you if

939
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: you're nervous, picture everybody like naked or taking a shit

940
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm just like, Okay, a lot of people

941
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: just have these feelings too, Like you just don't wake

942
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: up and decide that you're j low, Like you just

943
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: have to like go through the steps. And so one

944
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: thing that helped me was bringing a friend because that

945
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: also helped me accountable to actually go through with it,

946
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 2: and then also just over sharing because then like you know,

947
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 2: you're not like you're not spinning out inside, like oh

948
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 2: my god, am I the only one?

949
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: I can't do it?

950
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: Just like, oh, I don't know how to do this?

951
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 2: How do I do this with my legs? Because that

952
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: my legs don't do whatever? It is like you're gonna

953
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: feel self conscious about in the swimming pool and also

954
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 2: getting a new bathing suit so you feel like fun, flirty,

955
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: you know, like whatever that is. For me, I bought

956
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 2: new gym clothes to feel a bit more confident going

957
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: into a new space and doing something different with my

958
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 2: body in front of people. So I don't know those

959
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 2: tips helped me. I hope they help you. What say you, guys?

960
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: Amber here to sure I can't swim?

961
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: So Amber actually wrote the question, and thank you Amber

962
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: for having the courage to ask it in this medium

963
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: and forum. Well, I mean, you're from a landlocked place.

964
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: You're from Nebraska. Where why would you need to swim

965
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: in Nebraska?

966
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: No swim classes growing up?

967
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 4: Oh this is what happened. When I was four or five,

968
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 4: I had signed up for swim lessons. My parents made

969
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 4: everybody take some lessons. Five, we get to the swim place,

970
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 4: I go and I splash and I'm talking to my

971
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 4: little friends. I can remember this very little bit, splashing around.

972
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 4: I'm laughing, playing, having a great time. The teacher goes, okay,

973
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 4: now it's time to put our heads underwater, and I

974
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: go yeah, and screech, screech until Dad comes down off

975
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: of the bleachers and he picks me up and he

976
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 4: takes me home. I'm freaking out so bad you can't

977
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 4: even talk me back down. You gotta take me up.

978
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 4: So he comes down and takes me over. I go.

979
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 4: The next Saturday comes and he goes, okay, are you

980
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 4: going to act right? I go, I'm definitely going to

981
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,399
Speaker 4: It is so much fun. I gotta be there dad.

982
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 4: Oh my little friends like all right, go back there,

983
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 4: splash round, have great time to go. It's start to

984
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 4: put your underwater. That comes out, takes up. So on

985
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: the third week that goes. Now, if you cry this time,

986
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 4: you're going to get a spanking.

987
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: So either you put your head under that water, you're

988
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: gonna get it right, right, I said, Dad.

989
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm about half

990
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 4: the time. If we get there, splash off and the

991
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 4: guy goes, the guy goes, Okay, now it's time to

992
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 4: put our heads underwater, and I go, I want to spaking.

993
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: I want to spaking, go down.

994
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 4: Oh no, but of course I don't get a spanking.

995
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: Dad's never gonna give you spaking. He knew that was bullshit.

996
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: That's beautiful.

997
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know how to swim. Oh my goodness,

998
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 2: I'm the fifth child.

999
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: Daddy gave up.

1000
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: Okay, Michelle has already activated. I can tell that we're

1001
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: both gonna end up in a pool with you, like

1002
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: helping you with water wings. I have a mooch in

1003
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: my backyard. Let's go.

1004
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: I know, it's so fun. You know, my parents are

1005
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: from the Caribbean, and my dad is like very Haitian

1006
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: in like it'll work out, don't worry. It's bleeding, it'll

1007
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: stop bleeding. You don't need a band aid. He'll save

1008
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: him for something fancy or something. Yeah, you have a

1009
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: hole in your shirt. You can still wear it whatever

1010
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 2: it is. Meanwhile, he's got new shirts.

1011
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 4: Okay.

1012
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: But he used to throw me in the water in

1013
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: the beach and like be like swim to me. And

1014
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: so for me it was fight or flight and I

1015
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: would go and then he kept like going back, and

1016
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, you gotta stop, you stop so I can

1017
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: get to you. And he's like, this is how you learn.

1018
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 2: I learn because I thought I was gonna die. Now,

1019
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: you know it's Swimming is like one of those things

1020
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: like riding a bike, Like it hurts when you fall

1021
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: off of a bike when you're little.

1022
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hurts when you're an adult. Do you want

1023
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: to learn to swim or do you care?

1024
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 4: It's been a long time.

1025
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1026
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: Also now like we're beyond wanting to be in public

1027
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 4: in a swimsuit. Yeah, because there's a time you couldn't

1028
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: get no clothes on me. Man, I was out. My

1029
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 4: ship was out from my ribs to my hip bones.

1030
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 4: Fear fucking do you have receipts? She's looking, she's looking.

1031
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 4: She was looking to see she got my seat?

1032
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 1: Just drop him in the chat.

1033
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 4: I don't have any, but I'm going to find something. Yeah,

1034
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 4: why the fuck aren't they hanging up when I was

1035
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 4: cutest little guy.

1036
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel you there's that age where you're like, you

1037
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: know what, there was the window I would have learned

1038
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: it by now. I can live a full life without this,

1039
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: And I get that we only have time for one

1040
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: more question.

1041
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: I have three younger sisters that are constantly in a

1042
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: feud about something every other month. Sometimes it's petty things

1043
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 2: that get resolved quickly and laughed about later, but oftentimes

1044
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: it can be real toxic, backstabbing drama. As the oldest

1045
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 2: sister and sometimes the mediator, how do I suggest family

1046
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: therapy sessions? Because my head and heart are tired of

1047
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: the back and forth. Now I'm the only child, so

1048
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: I don't like I feel for this because I can

1049
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 2: cut my cousins off no problem and give a fuck.

1050
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: But I have twins now, and I want to teach

1051
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: them how to forgive because they're going to fight. But

1052
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: how do we get over it? So, like you guys

1053
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: have siblings? I don't know, amber, what say you?

1054
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 4: That person who wrote in is very smart because yeah,

1055
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 4: they can see that this is an underlying issue.

1056
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they're.

1057
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 4: Fighting because one of them is the other's favorite and

1058
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 4: the other one is mom and Dad's favorite, and then

1059
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 4: the other one does better at school, and then the

1060
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 4: other one does better at but like it's a whole thing,

1061
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 4: like mom and dad prays so and so about this,

1062
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 4: and they pray so and so about that, and then

1063
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 4: they want to be praised about what the other one is.

1064
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 4: You know, it's all a mess. So they're right, you

1065
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 4: gotta go to therapy. You know it may work, but

1066
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry to say it very well may not.

1067
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 4: Fucking sibling shit is horrid. Sibling shit is rancid. Also, like,

1092
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: Myself. No, you're doing great, You're great and have it all.

1093
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 2: You know, the skin age is well, but the brain

1094
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: don't you know? Uh No, I forgot. I was saying, oh,

1095
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: well no, no, no, can we go back?

1096
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: What is it?

1097
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 4: The siblings?

1098
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: I forget? You're the baby. Oh.

1099
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: This is why I like to work with people that

1100
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of siblings. They're really good at managing

1101
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: different personalities.

1102
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: That's right.

1103
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: Like you guys can go into any room and just

1104
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 2: not even like challenge somebody, just be like it's sort

1105
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 2: of giving, like bless your heart, but not like in

1106
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 2: that tone like you know how to like get around

1107
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: it and be like we're okay. And I am learning

1108
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 2: that because I'm just like, well, let's fix it before

1109
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 2: we move on. And then I'm just like, why am

1110
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 2: I stuck in this fucking quicksand of drama?

1111
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: How did I get myself in? Like you know what

1112
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean?

1113
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, like you guys are good at it, and

1114
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 2: so that's sort of like a superpower.

1115
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: Well, thank you.

1116
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 4: I always call it giving the baby his bottle, So

1117
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 4: that's my favorite thing to do. Oh, you have a

1118
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 4: little attitude. I'm gonna get in there and fix it.

1119
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 4: You know what, I really like that you said x

1120
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 4: y Z. I don't think a lot of people think

1121
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 4: about that. Where are you going to lunch? Oh? Man,

1122
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 4: that sounds great. Looks like you have a really good

1123
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 4: day ahead of you. Fucking the baby is fed? Yes,

1124
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 4: who is fine? His attitude is gone. Boom, let's go

1125
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 4: the riving.

1126
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: Can I ask this though? I feel like this question.

1127
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: What it brings up for me is why does the

1128
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: eldest feel as though it's their job to create, you know,

1129
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: a harmony in between all the siblings when in fact,

1130
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: like what I've noticed is sometimes if I stfu, stuff

1131
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: will work itself out. It doesn't need me inserting myself

1132
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: into the situation, like adults can figure things out for themselves.

1133
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just saying one hundred.

1134
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 2: I mean, but like, if you've been doing it your

1135
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: whole life, then you're just sort of stuck in this pattern. Yeah,

1136
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: because they did say sometimes it does get resolved quickly

1137
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: and laughed about. But other times it becomes real toxic

1138
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 2: and backstabbing. Yeah, and it hurts their head in their heart.

1139
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 2: So it's like how do we break the cycle? And

1140
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 2: that's why I'm like hyper aware of like what cycle

1141
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: my kids are creating right now? Yeah, because Otis is

1142
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: definitely the brain and Hazels the muscles, and.

1143
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: So I love that for them though. I mean, like,

1144
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: he's such a sweetie. I have to say, he's got

1145
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: a big heart, and I'm guessing he's definitely like he

1146
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: likes to cuddle. He's a cuddler.

1147
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: He's a cuddler, and he likes to tell the truth.

1148
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, woah. I mean, my only advice to this

1149
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: lady is that or whoever wrote this, I don't know

1150
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: why I'm saying this, lady, but whoever wrote this, I

1151
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: feel like family therapy would be good for you to

1152
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 1: figure out what you've been carrying around for so long,

1153
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: trying to like write the boat for so long, and like,

1154
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, what can you do for you? You're doing

1155
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot for your other siblings. What can you do

1156
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: for you and be the best sister to yourself or

1157
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: brother to yourself?

1158
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, find a therapist. Talk to your therapist about everybody's

1159
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: personality and see if at some point you can bring

1160
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 2: your sisters into the therapy session with your therapist, because

1161
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 2: then they have an arsenal of what the fuck?

1162
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 4: And then you can be like, Hi, everyone, I need

1163
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 4: you to be at my therapist for me, and then.

1164
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 2: We are amazing. We are angels. I mean not all

1165
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 2: heroes wear capes. They sometimes do shows in between moving blankets. Anyways,

1166
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 2: we ask all our guests, Amber, we ask all our guests,

1167
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: what is the most adult thing that you want to

1168
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 2: do for yourself that you haven't done for yourself yet?

1169
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: And it could be anything small, medium, plus size, grande venti,

1170
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: no matter what it is.

1171
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 4: You know what, I'd really like to get my wardrobe

1172
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 4: together because I'm a slop monster, I mean fucking every

1173
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 4: time my sister comes to visit, she brings she just

1174
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 4: packs clothes that she thinks I would like and then

1175
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 4: brings them and leaves them because she's like Amber, you

1176
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: dress like utter trash. It has got to stop.

1177

00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: of a production company and or a promoter in Atlanta,

1244
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 2: Blackest Fuck Productions.

1245
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: It's been another black and see protection.

1246
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: You know what's really fun too, it's like there are

1247
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: so many young, not so young, budding comedians and writers

1248
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: who are just like, what am I gonna do? Is

1249
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:23,959
Speaker 2: this really gonna happen? How am I gonna make it happen?

1250
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 2: And it's like it doesn't have to be just the

1251
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 2: one thing. It doesn't have to be straight up, stand up,

1252
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,479
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be just hosting. You know, when

1253
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 2: you really give yourself this space, opportunity and license to

1254
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 2: write and just fuck around and find out, you don't

1255
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 2: know what could happen. Even if it doesn't go anywhere,

1256
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 2: you've already like laid down the groundwork for you to

1257
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 2: do something else. And you know this, When you write something,

1258
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: there's different drafts of it and it only gets better

1259
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 2: and better and better. But the hardest thing to do

1260
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 2: is just lay it down for the first time.

1261
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: Words bars total agreement. I'm with you, move over most

1262
00:58:58,640 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: death No.

1263
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 2: Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding.

1264
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: I clear, I clear, and leave space.

1265
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: I know my Umi said to say that.

1266
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: My Umi says, shine a light on the world. Let

1267
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: me let me just say this. Yeah, I feel that.

1268
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: Like one as you were saying all that, I was like,

1269
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: is she going to play Dorothy on the Whiz? Is

1270
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: that something you would be interested in? Michelle? Me? No?

1271
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: Is no? Come on? Come on? No, come on? No,

1272
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: why no? Why no?

1273
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,439
Speaker 2: You know, let's take that no and turn it into

1274
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 2: it yes and turn into so, sot's what's up? No,

1275
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: that's not my bag. That is not my bag. Although

1276
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: I do love I do love sort of beating something

1277
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 2: into the ground and just doing it seven thousand times

1278
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: because I do find the joy in it. But like,

1279
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 2: that's not my bag.

1280
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: It's not your bag.

1281
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 2: Singing and dancing on stages in my bag. Impressions on

1282
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 2: SNL not my bag. I think that's also very important

1283
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: for people to, whether you were in the arts, whether

1284
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: you're creative or not, like, figure out what your bad

1285
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: It could be more than one thing, you know. When

1286
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 2: I first started, I was like, I'm supposed to go

1287
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: to festivals and I'm supposed to be on SNL and

1288
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 2: I should wear a black shirt with jeans at every

1289
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 2: show because that's what comedians wear. And for the first

1290
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 2: year I look like a fucking hairdresser. It was this

1291
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: black shirts and jeans. And then I was like, oh,

1292
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't actually have my own personality on stage, you

1293
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So I feel like that's not

1294
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 2: my bag, that's somebody else's bag.

1295
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: You know.

1296
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm not a musical theater nerd like that, but I

1297
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 2: do appreciate those people because a lot.

1298
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: Of them are my friends. But nah, figure out your bag.

1299
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Is it a Seline? Is it a Claire v a Gooch?

1300
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Is it a Findy? Is it what?

1301
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 4: Like?

1302
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: And yes, he knows his bags. He knows his bags

1303
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: because he's bought him. Oh oh boy.

1304
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I don't know if everyone else is

1305
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 2: like full up of dad jokes.

1306
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:50,880

1309
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:57,720
