Speaker 1: The Nikki Glaser n Hello, welcome to the show. How's
Speaker 1: it going out there, everyone? Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to talk to you today. UM. Getting
Speaker 1: so many messages from people who listen to the show
Speaker 1: saying that they look forward to it every day and
Speaker 1: it just means so much to me. So I hope
Speaker 1: you're in a good mood that the show is just begne.
Speaker 1: We got a good one for you today. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a Reddit dump later. I got some
Speaker 1: good stuff to show you. We're gonna go over that
Speaker 1: video that is UM that we talked about yesterday that
Speaker 1: I discovered over the weekend that I think should be
Speaker 1: you know, mandatory viewing for the world. To make the
Speaker 1: world a better place, sometimes you need to be reminded that, um,
Speaker 1: that you need to go the extra mile to or
Speaker 1: just like step out of your comfort zone to help others,
Speaker 1: and that helping others feel so damn good. That was
Speaker 1: like the biggest realization to me. And getting into kind
Speaker 1: of recovery uh language and like learning stuff and in
Speaker 1: those kind of from those people that have been you know,
Speaker 1: twelve step eat type stuff, is that when you do
Speaker 1: good for others and step outside yourself. It makes you
Speaker 1: feel better and less depressed and less anxious. And I
Speaker 1: just that always just seemed like something to me. That's
Speaker 1: like people just say that so it encourages people to
Speaker 1: do more good, but it really does because it's not
Speaker 1: so much about the act of doing good and being like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm such a good person, I feel better. It's more
Speaker 1: just it makes you forget that you're this your It
Speaker 1: makes you forget about your worries. So it's it's hard
Speaker 1: to remember though, man, when you're having a bad day
Speaker 1: or really in your own stuff of like my life
Speaker 1: is just falling apart. It's hard to pick up the
Speaker 1: phone or pick up some trash, or pick up dogshit
Speaker 1: that your dog didn't make, or just do something that
Speaker 1: is completely selfless. Um. But there's nothing worse. I really
Speaker 1: hate picking up cold dogshit worse than warm dogshit, because
Speaker 1: sometimes I do do that? Do do I do do that?
Speaker 1: Where uh you know, Luigi will poop. I'll forget a bag,
Speaker 1: there's no leaves around, there's no um, you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: I just throw a mulch on it and then cover
Speaker 1: it in mulch and then pick it up with the
Speaker 1: like a big scoop of mults, so I don't touch it.
Speaker 1: But there's nothing like that. So the other day I
Speaker 1: didn't like he was a stick and I only got
Speaker 1: half of it, and I was like, I had to
Speaker 1: leave half his ship there, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so tomorrow I'm gonna pick up someone else's ship. And boy,
Speaker 1: that's just not as much as warm gooey ship is gross.
Speaker 1: I've always said it. It's a little handwarmer, and I
Speaker 1: don't mind it. I just don't mind it. And I
Speaker 1: really don't like picking up like hardened old dog poop
Speaker 1: like I even though that's like should be preferable and aren't.
Speaker 1: Rocks are a lot of like rocks dinosaur poop or
Speaker 1: something like that. I always remember being like you, it's
Speaker 1: it's dino poop. UM. Always remember Laura Dern and Jurassic Park,
Speaker 1: like digging in that big pile of ship, being like
Speaker 1: she's sick or whatever. I don't know, Um, No, have
Speaker 1: you seen Jurassic Park. I have seen Jurassic Park a
Speaker 1: while ago. Did you like it? I mean, as a kid,
Speaker 1: I liked it. I don't know if I could suspend
Speaker 1: this belief as an adult m M. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you could, because that's the whole point of it is
Speaker 1: that they like walk you through the science of like
Speaker 1: how it could be. You know, it's not just like
Speaker 1: it's it's I feel like it. It presents a scenario
Speaker 1: where you're like, I guess that could happen. Um what
Speaker 1: I was just I guess it came on nineties three.
Speaker 1: I want to say I'm pretty good about dates of
Speaker 1: the nineties, and I bet you're right about it. I
Speaker 1: was just like blown away by the meg like how
Speaker 1: visually impressive it was. I remember the scene where Laura
Speaker 1: Dern and they're seeing the dinosaurs for the first time
Speaker 1: and they're in that like you know, door lest jeep
Speaker 1: or whatever. Why I'm I don't know how you do this.
Speaker 1: It is exactly should do more nineties early two thousands
Speaker 1: trivia songs, any pop culture and I'll like, I'll get
Speaker 1: you real close. Uh. I think that when I know
Speaker 1: of just because it was like, were such a huge
Speaker 1: deal cinematically or like, and I was a big I
Speaker 1: like loved movies back in the day. I was voted
Speaker 1: most likely to be Sisko and Ebert by my eighth
Speaker 1: grade superlative and I was like, which one you know? Um,
Speaker 1: but I guess just both. But I just remember being like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Movies used to like stay with me, dude,
Speaker 1: Like they used to just for days. I would just
Speaker 1: go to bed and I would daydream about like how
Speaker 1: magnificent it was, and I couldn't wait for it to
Speaker 1: come out on VHS and I would. I was moved
Speaker 1: by Jurassic Park line can oh. But the scene and
Speaker 1: in Dressed Park that stays with me more than any
Speaker 1: um is the Braunosaurus is feeding and when they see
Speaker 1: them first and they like go and they lift up
Speaker 1: on their hind legs to like get the top of
Speaker 1: the tree. I think I liked that scene because I
Speaker 1: knew nothing bad was gonna happen because the music is
Speaker 1: like no, it was just like safe music where you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm music. And whenever you're like worried in a movie,
Speaker 1: it's because the music it's not about anything else. Generally,
Speaker 1: like music really gets you. I didn't even know. I
Speaker 1: don't notice it so much of the time because they
Speaker 1: it's so deliberately but like you know, subconsciously tells you
Speaker 1: how to feel so much of the time. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like I was just blown away. And you know,
Speaker 1: she gets out of the car and she like takes
Speaker 1: off her sunglasses like slowly, and it's just like that's
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite scenes when she takes off
Speaker 1: her sunglasses in amazement. That's how I felt watching that
Speaker 1: scene and I was obsessed. I was just like I
Speaker 1: can't believe, like it looks so real. It still holds
Speaker 1: up too. Like that's the thing about dress of Marker.
Speaker 1: That's cool. The c G I like, actually would I
Speaker 1: think would be pretty impressive even now. Um and then
Speaker 1: the Lion King, I just like all again, the magnitude
Speaker 1: of the animals, Like I remember the like the um
Speaker 1: what was the big there was some big stomping animal
Speaker 1: and Simba's like dodging it as he's singing, and I
Speaker 1: just was like, oh my god, they're so big, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's something about big things that really
Speaker 1: blew my mind. I was obsessed with blue Whales and
Speaker 1: nine eleven, like the magnitude of nine eleven, like the
Speaker 1: bigness of nine eleven. Like I was listening to Sam
Speaker 1: Harris podcast about it, like Andrew doesn't know anything about
Speaker 1: like not that he doesn't know anything about nine eleven,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't, Like, I just don't understand people that
Speaker 1: aren't like obsessed with nine eleven, Like it is the
Speaker 1: most insane thing that has ever happened. We didn't even
Speaker 1: we've never seen a seven forty seven crash before, like
Speaker 1: into something. There's no like footage of that ever. That's
Speaker 1: why everyone thought it was like a cessna. No one
Speaker 1: had seen a passenger jet flying into something. And and
Speaker 1: the importance really of the second jet was like, that's
Speaker 1: when we knew. The second plane was when everything really
Speaker 1: fucking went off the rails, because that's when it was
Speaker 1: a deliberate thing. Most everyone else thought it was like
Speaker 1: an accident at first. That's why no one. Everyone goes,
Speaker 1: why didn't they evacuate the you know, um whatever tower
Speaker 1: was hit second? I don't know, like I know so
Speaker 1: many things about nine eleven, except, um, the tower directions
Speaker 1: because I'm bad with directions. But the second tower, that
Speaker 1: the second tower to be hit, none of those people evacuated,
Speaker 1: Like so many didn't evacuate because they just thought it
Speaker 1: was an accident. And Andrew last night was like, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you evacuate? It's like because Why would you think
Speaker 1: you're gonna, like just because your twin gets hit by
Speaker 1: a car, Why would you think that you're going to
Speaker 1: get hit by a car accidentally? You know, that's that's
Speaker 1: the same kind of logic. And I think in in hindsights,
Speaker 1: so much of us can be like I would have
Speaker 1: done this. It's like you don't know what you would do.
Speaker 1: You don't know what you would do. Grief is fascinating
Speaker 1: and I've been really lucky to not have like a
Speaker 1: lot of loss in my life, but you know, we
Speaker 1: all will. And it's interesting. There was a psychologist or
Speaker 1: psychiatrist or something that was talking about how when a
Speaker 1: family loses someone and they all um they all have
Speaker 1: to help each other. There's a mountain of grief and
Speaker 1: they all are at the top and it's like there's
Speaker 1: a blizzard and they are out of food and they
Speaker 1: all have to like get down the mountain in their
Speaker 1: own way. They can't really help each other like they
Speaker 1: have to. If you help someone else, you're not going
Speaker 1: to help yourself, Like you you might help someone oh
Speaker 1: across this travase or crevass, whatever word is that's up
Speaker 1: on the mountain, But then you're still on the other
Speaker 1: side of it, and maybe you've helped them, but you're not.
Speaker 1: Everyone's on their own kind of and that's why you
Speaker 1: got to get outside help that people aren't grieving, but
Speaker 1: then someone's so This woman that did the article presented
Speaker 1: that kind of analogy to another person that works a
Speaker 1: lot in grief, and she said, what do you think
Speaker 1: about this mountain analogy that everyone has to get down
Speaker 1: on their own? And she said where everyone gets down
Speaker 1: on their own time, you know, and the woman goes,
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, that's not true because the truth
Speaker 1: of the matter is many people don't make it down
Speaker 1: the mountain, like some people just die of grief, like
Speaker 1: it stays with them forever. And it made me so sad,
Speaker 1: and it made me think about that um video I
Speaker 1: watched the other day of the dog crying because it's
Speaker 1: dead dog friend was there and it would like I
Speaker 1: didn't like animals grieving, and then reading about how if
Speaker 1: you if you put down an animal, you should bring
Speaker 1: it back home for your other animals to see so
Speaker 1: that they understand that it's gone and that it's not
Speaker 1: just like hiding, because there was this Reddit threat of
Speaker 1: this dog crying about a dead dog, and I thought
Speaker 1: I talked about in the podcast, but I just realized
Speaker 1: I was talking about with friends and on in the comments,
Speaker 1: they were like, you know, animals need to see what
Speaker 1: the animals going through in this video is like necessary
Speaker 1: because otherwise they just don't know what happened to the
Speaker 1: animal and they don't understand it died. They need to
Speaker 1: like see the body and as you know, as uh
Speaker 1: impossible as that might be sometimes to like bring a
Speaker 1: dead animal home, Like there's something like there were stories
Speaker 1: that people were sharing of like my dog I couldn't
Speaker 1: even walk, you know, at the end of its life,
Speaker 1: but it was still like crawling around looking for the dog.
Speaker 1: It's dog front that you know that we had to
Speaker 1: put down five years before. It like never gave up looking.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh my god. Um yeah, So I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I've had a couple of losses in
Speaker 1: my life that were like, uh that I just didn't
Speaker 1: want to feel because I was just like, it's just
Speaker 1: I don't deserve to feel it. It's I didn't know
Speaker 1: that person well enough. Um, that would be ridiculous to
Speaker 1: cry that art over someone. But you know, when the
Speaker 1: feelings come up now I just put on a good
Speaker 1: sad song and work through them. Like we talked about yesterday,
Speaker 1: getting high off your own supply. No, you really. You
Speaker 1: reached out to me later. You liked that. Um, you
Speaker 1: said to me, I couldn't relate to it. You couldn't
Speaker 1: relate to it. Tell me about that. So I'm not
Speaker 1: a feeling. I'm not a person who doesn't feel my feelings.
Speaker 1: I just don't talk about them, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's like to not feel them. And I was
Speaker 1: I was very curious about that, and I was curious
Speaker 1: to learn more about how. You know, I guess how
Speaker 1: you go through it. Now, Yeah, I don't even know
Speaker 1: because it's almost like I don't know what they feel like.
Speaker 1: Because that's trying to like a blind person trying to
Speaker 1: explain color, like I don't know what I'm not doing,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what I'm not feeling, Like I
Speaker 1: know what sadness is, and I know what um like
Speaker 1: heartbreak or guilt or um. I know the feeling of
Speaker 1: wanting something I can't have or being sorry for myself,
Speaker 1: but those are always overcome by You're by the feeling
Speaker 1: of shame of like you shouldn't be feeling this way,
Speaker 1: so like you know when people tell me that they cry, So,
Speaker 1: how do you, like, how do you feel your feelings
Speaker 1: if you don't, um talk about them? How do you
Speaker 1: feel them? Like? What does it look like for you?
Speaker 1: Let's say if you're sad or like feeling Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: say sad. If I'm sad, I just uh, I mean,
Speaker 1: I just kind of go through it. If if I
Speaker 1: need to cry, I'll cry. Now you cry alone? Or
Speaker 1: do you need to like talk to someone about it?
Speaker 1: Like what, well, it'll just come out. Yeah. I um,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get better at talking about it because
Speaker 1: I know that it could help, But I usually just
Speaker 1: try to go through it alone. Do you go with
Speaker 1: like a room alone? Do you go in the bathroom?
Speaker 1: Do you go in the shower? Like? What does it
Speaker 1: look like when you go cry alone? In your car?
Speaker 1: Car is a good place. Bathroom is a good place.
Speaker 1: As a kid, I used to cry in the bathroom
Speaker 1: a lot just because it wasn't just have private See
Speaker 1: do you cry like in silence? Do you need a
Speaker 1: song to get you there? Like? I really do feel
Speaker 1: like I need you just like think about it. You
Speaker 1: just think about the thing that's making you sad and
Speaker 1: like go into it. Yeah. I think like the most
Speaker 1: recent example was I, you know, just like mourning the
Speaker 1: loss of my of my dog. So I'll just okay,
Speaker 1: you know, like, um, I used to just say, all right,
Speaker 1: well it's time to move on. Just don't don't allow
Speaker 1: yourself to cry. Just stop looking at the pictures, like
Speaker 1: avoid looking at the pictures. But I won't avoid it now.
Speaker 1: I'll just look at them. And if I get that
Speaker 1: gulp and it's like okay, I'm about to cry, I
Speaker 1: just do it. Yeah yeah, no, I Um, I can
Speaker 1: do that. Sometimes I don't know. I think I have
Speaker 1: to like talk about it, and I can't talk to alone,
Speaker 1: so um, it always has to be with someone to
Speaker 1: talk about it. That will get me to cry. But
Speaker 1: then as soon as I start getting verklemped, uh, I
Speaker 1: feel bad that the person has to like witness this
Speaker 1: and like suddenly come to my rescue or like get
Speaker 1: they like they they're like, oh my god, she's crying.
Speaker 1: Oh what do I do? Like there's like some kind
Speaker 1: of panic in them of either I don't want to
Speaker 1: be here. I mean I've talked about this before. Either
Speaker 1: they don't want to be there or they like have
Speaker 1: to now stay longer and comfort me, and I just
Speaker 1: don't want anyone to do. It's like, you know, like
Speaker 1: looking at someone on stage, they have to laugh, and
Speaker 1: I just don't want to earn people's sympathy by you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a trick to get love and
Speaker 1: like or to get attention. Like I feel like even
Speaker 1: though it's not a trick, it's like that's a sign
Speaker 1: that you need extra care from your friends and loved ones.
Speaker 1: Like what's wrong with that? I don't know, because I
Speaker 1: don't want to be a burden, even if it's a
Speaker 1: close friend. And in that conversation, they're very welcoming of you,
Speaker 1: just saying or doing whatever you need to do to
Speaker 1: feel better, you know, like do you remember what I
Speaker 1: mean to me and you cried for a reason that
Speaker 1: we won't say, Did that help you feel better going
Speaker 1: through that sadness? And just yes, yes, I think that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like it always feels better afterwards. It feels like
Speaker 1: you know, after you calm, like it's just like for
Speaker 1: me at least after I just feel like, oh I
Speaker 1: can go to sleep now, and like, yeah, you you
Speaker 1: get over it. But like, you know, that was God.
Speaker 1: That was That was when I was in Cayman, right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. And I and before I reached
Speaker 1: out to you, I tried to talk to Andrew. Andrew
Speaker 1: really wasn't having it. He just couldn't. I think he
Speaker 1: started biting his nails like as I was getting anxious,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't. He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be here for this. And then I tried to call
Speaker 1: Robin and because she was more privy to the situation
Speaker 1: that was um happening around that and she was busy,
Speaker 1: and then I was just like, Noah's always there for me.
Speaker 1: She is like such a calming force. I know that
Speaker 1: she'll I haven't felt too much of a burden to
Speaker 1: her lately. So I called you, and uh, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was really helpful and I didn't feel bad, you know.
Speaker 1: But like in Tuloom when I was having when we
Speaker 1: were all about to go to dinner on our last
Speaker 1: night and I was just having a bad moment and
Speaker 1: I needed to cry. Everyone like came to my room,
Speaker 1: but everyone was like hungry, want to go to dinner.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like dressed up and cute, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: like it just felt like, God, shut up, everyone wants
Speaker 1: to go, but I just kind of didn't care because
Speaker 1: it was so painful that I was so selfish, you know,
Speaker 1: like sometimes my pain makes me selfish that I don't care. UM. So,
Speaker 1: so I'm wondering in this new um getting high off
Speaker 1: your own supply, are you going to try to go
Speaker 1: through those feelings without calling someone and testing to see
Speaker 1: if you could do it on your own? Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like yesterday I was driving to my sister's house to
Speaker 1: go get my dogs and the air conditioning on from
Speaker 1: my mom's car was like sometimes wind makes my eyes water,
Speaker 1: and it was like it was like, um, it was
Speaker 1: like lube, you know, like a synthetic um, a synthetic
Speaker 1: thing you bring into the bedroom too, you know, to
Speaker 1: uh what's it called emulate um too, to be to
Speaker 1: be like what your wetness should be. So you feel
Speaker 1: like that can't make me wet, But sometimes lube does
Speaker 1: make you wet because it's like, oh, it shows me
Speaker 1: what that feels like in my eyes or in my
Speaker 1: vagina to be wet, and then it reminds me of vagina,
Speaker 1: like oh, make more of this. So it's not even porn.
Speaker 1: It's like it's actually bringing something synthetic and to cause
Speaker 1: the tears, And honestly, that gets me there because I'll
Speaker 1: be like, I'm already crying, and then I put on
Speaker 1: a sad song and then I just like cried and
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what I was crying about. I
Speaker 1: was just like there were just feelings coming up, and
Speaker 1: I just like, I just I faked it. I tried
Speaker 1: to fake crying until it would happen and a little
Speaker 1: bit came out. But then I was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: if I show up there and like my eyes are teary,
Speaker 1: my mom's gonna be like, what's what? What are you
Speaker 1: crying about? And I'll go, oh, I'm just sad because
Speaker 1: I'm going through like like someone in my life disappointed me,
Speaker 1: and I had a hope about this person and now
Speaker 1: I feel like the hope is gone and I'm just
Speaker 1: sad about a boy. And she'll be like, oh God,
Speaker 1: this is just I don't like. She won't be like
Speaker 1: you're ridiculous for feeling sad. She'll just be like ah,
Speaker 1: and then they won't ask me about it, and I'll
Speaker 1: just feel like mad that they didn't ask me about it.
Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing, So I just wanted
Speaker 1: to clear up my face. I didn't want my face
Speaker 1: to be puffy and red for to be in front
Speaker 1: of my parents, not because they would have shamed me
Speaker 1: about it, but because they wouldn't have done what I wanted,
Speaker 1: which is like asked me about it and like talk
Speaker 1: about it um, because it just makes them too uncomfortable
Speaker 1: for me to have feelings. And I think that's probably
Speaker 1: why I get nervous when people get anxious when I cried,
Speaker 1: because my parents probably didn't know what to do with
Speaker 1: me when I cried, because it just seems like what
Speaker 1: the fund do you do? And then it was so
Speaker 1: cute because Poppy was crying. My my niece. We went
Speaker 1: over there and she was doing this thing where she
Speaker 1: was holding onto the side of the couch and just
Speaker 1: jumping up and down like it was a trampoline. But
Speaker 1: she jumped too far and she went over and her
Speaker 1: head like fell on the bed the table next to
Speaker 1: the couch, and then she toppled over and knocked over lamp.
Speaker 1: She was totally safe, but it's it's our reaction scared her.
Speaker 1: And then you know, my mom's just like, don't that's
Speaker 1: why you don't jump on the couch Toppy, you don't jump,
Speaker 1: And I was just like, and then she came over
Speaker 1: to me because I was just like everyone was just
Speaker 1: she was getting upset because she was embarrassed, but she
Speaker 1: didn't know how to really. She was having so much
Speaker 1: fun and then she was embarrassed because it just got
Speaker 1: out of hand, you know, like she tripped almost and
Speaker 1: that feeling of like being sad because you're soul embarrassed.
Speaker 1: And then she came over to me because I was
Speaker 1: just kind of like not saying anything and just going
Speaker 1: like and she came over to me, and I go,
Speaker 1: I bump my head so many times on things. It's
Speaker 1: just you're trying to have fun and then you bump
Speaker 1: your head and she just like fell in my arms
Speaker 1: and like just like wanted to lay there because I
Speaker 1: wasn't pitying her. I was just like relating and I
Speaker 1: was like, it sucks, oh no, and it was just
Speaker 1: it's nice to give that back, the thing that I
Speaker 1: want so badly, and and maybe Poppy will be there
Speaker 1: for me someday when I need to cry, because she's
Speaker 1: learned from me and from my sister, who's said beautiful
Speaker 1: examples of never making their kids feel bad about anything.
Speaker 1: They cry about, um, which I don't know where they
Speaker 1: got that from. Um, let's bring in uh someone. I'm
Speaker 1: not comfortable crying in front of Andrew. Hey, Andrew, good morning. Hey.
Speaker 1: Um Uh, we got a package from a fan. I
Speaker 1: don't know how they got our address we got Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it might be well. I opened it up
Speaker 1: because I thought it was UM. It wasn't labeled like
Speaker 1: sometimes when I get a package that has no or
Speaker 1: an obscure return address that just seems like a shipping center.
Speaker 1: I think it's a sex toy because everything is shipped
Speaker 1: discreetly from these companies. Yeah, and I have a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff coming from Nikki's going to get the package.
Speaker 1: She's coming back. She's sitting back down. I just got
Speaker 1: a bunch of so. I made an order on Blessa,
Speaker 1: which is this company that has given me a lot
Speaker 1: of free stuff in the past. Um and Blessa is uh.
Speaker 1: They call themselves the Netflix of porn, but it's all
Speaker 1: like female produced porn, and I love it. I do
Speaker 1: um a scription subscription to their site. But they also
Speaker 1: have a sex store or like sex toy shop, and
Speaker 1: they've they've reached out to me. I've done their podcast
Speaker 1: called Balls Deep, which is so funny. These two girls
Speaker 1: hilarious comics host it. Um. But anyway, they've given me
Speaker 1: so much free stuff over the years, and I've done
Speaker 1: a poor job of promoting them. So the other day
Speaker 1: I placed an order and I knew that they would
Speaker 1: give me it for free, but I just was like,
Speaker 1: they deserve my money. So I spent like four dollars
Speaker 1: on new stuff, and this bitch that runs the company
Speaker 1: and I say that with love wrote me and goes, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: your money is not good here. Like she saw the
Speaker 1: order come through and was like no, so she sent
Speaker 1: me it all for free. Was so nice. So UM
Speaker 1: shout out to Blessa And there I'm the packaging. It
Speaker 1: looks like I thought it was. I was like, looking

Speaker 1: like that, I really love. Yeah, you're Andrew Todd Colin.
Speaker 1: I hate the name. I was almost named Todd, and
Speaker 1: Todd's of definitely chat name. Yeah, it's not good. I
Speaker 1: met one guy from the mid West Toddler. Maybe it
Speaker 1: would fit you. Then there's such a Todd will call
Speaker 1: me by my full name if you're gonna say, uh,
Speaker 1: Andrew Toddler Colin. Is so funny that you were you
Speaker 1: were named after Toddler. Fourth there. I met a guy
Speaker 1: from the Midwest one time. He goes, because your middle
Speaker 1: names Tad, I'm Tad. I'm like, no, it's Todd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm Tad. So they say Tad. Yeah, we we say
Speaker 1: Highway Farty, Far Highway Farty. That's like the St. Louis thing.
Speaker 1: There's two St. Louis things. Okay, what is it? Where'd
Speaker 1: you go to high school? Let's go through these high
Speaker 1: schools and what does it mean? Like top three high
Speaker 1: schools in St. Louis And what does it mean about you?
Speaker 1: And which one did you go to? Kirkwood That means, man, um,
Speaker 1: you you your parents are probably liberal and you're not
Speaker 1: religious and probably don't have you're not extremely wealthy, but
Speaker 1: you could be. You could like the upper middle class
Speaker 1: if you're a white person that went to Kirkland. I
Speaker 1: like rich people that send their kids to they're going
Speaker 1: to learn the real world. Yeah right, I mean I
Speaker 1: loved Thank god I didn't go to a private school. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm who knows I would have had a good experience anymore.
Speaker 1: It's the number one school you could say you're from
Speaker 1: that you went to in St. Louis where everyone's like,
Speaker 1: um for girls like Villa viz M I c d S.
Speaker 1: That's like you, uh, your parents have a lot of
Speaker 1: money because it costs a lot of money to go there.
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I guess it's I guess it's
Speaker 1: a thing a conversation because people stay and say it's
Speaker 1: like a big city that I don't understand why everyone
Speaker 1: doesn't do that, because for me, I always thought it
Speaker 1: was about do you know people I know? Like, who
Speaker 1: do we both know in common? Because obviously you know
Speaker 1: people you went to high school with, and we it's
Speaker 1: very segregated by high school, like you don't hang out
Speaker 1: with people at other high schools like I live. I lived.
Speaker 1: There's people in meeting now who lived locks away from me,
Speaker 1: but I would have never known them because they went
Speaker 1: to private school and I went to public school. We
Speaker 1: didn't co mingle. Maybe a lot of people moved back
Speaker 1: to St. Louis or just don't leave St. Louis. It's
Speaker 1: like if I stayed in my small town of Virea
Speaker 1: would be like, did you go to the public school
Speaker 1: or to private school? But no, don't do that million
Speaker 1: if you stay there. If I've been too small, I've
Speaker 1: been to towns and people don't whenever I go like, oh,
Speaker 1: if I meet two people and they're both from Charlotte.
Speaker 1: Let's say we're in New York and I go, they go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, cool, and they don't ask what high school?
Speaker 1: Like why don't you ask what high school? You both
Speaker 1: that if we were in our land at this guy
Speaker 1: went to first Academy and we played against him in
Speaker 1: football and you're yellow and blue and he's like, I
Speaker 1: am yellow and blue, and that guy's gonna love me forever.
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I asked, though, because I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone from other high schools. But the joke
Speaker 1: is that's what St. Louis is. At St. Louis, AND's
Speaker 1: asked is where you go to high school. But what
Speaker 1: it really is about is how much money did your
Speaker 1: parents make? Like what that's that's really what you're asking
Speaker 1: with that question, which is disgusting. But St. Louis is
Speaker 1: very elitist, very like what kind of car do you
Speaker 1: just say them yeah, like but more subtle, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: kind of car did your parents buy you when you
Speaker 1: turn sixteen? And like mine was a Mercedes NI Mercedes
Speaker 1: was awesome, so funny if you lead with Mercedes, everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what a spoiled bitch, and then you keep going. It's
Speaker 1: like and it would go like it was every time,
Speaker 1: and we called it the old Bastard. Kristen named it that.
Speaker 1: She was like, it's the old best. If your dad
Speaker 1: doing getting diesel, if he's Mr. Recycle, I mean it
Speaker 1: was just an old car that week. I don't know
Speaker 1: how my dad got a deal on it or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know, a diesel on it, and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's and then the other St. Louis thing, as
Speaker 1: I was saying, is that we say like farty far
Speaker 1: and like, uh yeah, park your car on farty far,
Speaker 1: Like it's like tad tad. Yeah right, I gotta explorer
Speaker 1: for my first car, brand new Sport. But my stepmother
Speaker 1: drove it. They bought it like two months before I
Speaker 1: could drive. So every day I was on the bus
Speaker 1: and literally almost every morning I saw I was like
Speaker 1: this and I'm so spoiled. Did yeah brand new, but
Speaker 1: she got I mean she got it first, and uh
Speaker 1: every day I know, I was just you know, there
Speaker 1: were kids driving BMW. I mean that you were Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was not that impressive. I mean we were my
Speaker 1: dad was a doctor, but we were in my school
Speaker 1: literally is like millions and billionaires, like billionaires, like they
Speaker 1: drive being like so, I was just like, did you
Speaker 1: wear uniforms? We had to wear a tie and button down.
Speaker 1: Were you it was a co ed? Did you have
Speaker 1: girls too? Yes? I like I like the idea of
Speaker 1: a uniform. Noah, did you ever feel I know that
Speaker 1: you were kind of like, uh like not into high
Speaker 1: school and wanted to just get through it, and but
Speaker 1: like I felt overwhelmed by wearing the coolest thing looking
Speaker 1: like the girl is that parents had money, like having
Speaker 1: Abercrombie and like, you know, I remember a shirt for
Speaker 1: thirty six dollars was like so much fucking money to
Speaker 1: spend on a dumb Ambercrombie shirt. But like, I always
Speaker 1: wanted uniforms so that we all just not have to
Speaker 1: deal with that. And it was based on your hair,
Speaker 1: which I was also failing out. It looked like the
Speaker 1: Quaker oats guy. Know what what what you're feeling on uniforms? Uh? No?
Speaker 1: I mean like I um, I think in high school
Speaker 1: is when I started to like dress a little bit
Speaker 1: better because I told you that, Um, all of my
Speaker 1: clothes until high school we're basically like hand me downs
Speaker 1: from my cousins who were very well endowed in the
Speaker 1: chest area and I was not. So in high school
Speaker 1: I got to like dress up like a little bit freaky,
Speaker 1: like what like what it was your like favorite outfit?
Speaker 1: I had these um rocket dog flip flops that had
Speaker 1: like a black no, it was like black like fuzzy,
Speaker 1: um like shiny. Uh I don't know what it's called strap.
Speaker 1: And I used to uh. I used to go to
Speaker 1: the village and get like chains and like the spike
Speaker 1: bracelets and stuff. Yeah, okay, so you were a little
Speaker 1: bit like alternative Gothy. Yeah I wasn't Gothy. I was
Speaker 1: just I don't know, like freak, a freak or trying.
Speaker 1: I never wanted to get any attention for any I
Speaker 1: didn't want anyone to be like, what is she like?
Speaker 1: I hated getting attention for my outfit. I wanted to
Speaker 1: blend too, but my mom would buy my clothes and
Speaker 1: like I had a tide. I was like had heart,
Speaker 1: like a heart on I don't know she like she
Speaker 1: dressed me how she I never picked out like I was.
Speaker 1: I'd wear whatever, Like I really didn't you would think
Speaker 1: wearing a tie every day. I just wanted to match,
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, but I never even thought about what
Speaker 1: I was wearing. I wish I could go back to
Speaker 1: high school. I would just wear because in fifth grade,
Speaker 1: before I cared what people thought, I wore like shirts
Speaker 1: that said save the rainforest and like had animals on them.
Speaker 1: I loved animals. I had one shirt that had different
Speaker 1: kinds of bird poop all over it because I thought
Speaker 1: it was funny. And like, I just liked like things
Speaker 1: that said saved the world, and like had I just
Speaker 1: liked animals, so I put animals on my shirt and
Speaker 1: it's like I I then you start. Then Leslie Lambers
Speaker 1: tells you one day you were that shirt like every
Speaker 1: day and I didn't. I just wore rainforest stick out.
Speaker 1: If you wore a bird ship poop, so even if
Speaker 1: you wore once every two weeks. Yeah, she was just like,
Speaker 1: you seriously wear that shirt every day, and I was
Speaker 1: like I kind of did. Like I remembered how that
Speaker 1: you know the tree frog that every that symbolized save
Speaker 1: the rainforest. It has those like big eyes and it's
Speaker 1: kind of like on a leaf and m yeah. And now,
Speaker 1: like all I want to wear is things that I like,
Speaker 1: so it attracts other people who So if I wear
Speaker 1: a Taylor Swift shirt, I get to talk to the
Speaker 1: the lady at Schnooks who was a little autistic, who
Speaker 1: was like, I like Taylor Swift, and then I get
Speaker 1: to talk. I get to have interactions with other people
Speaker 1: that like the things I like. Well, I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: bring back the rainforest stuff. I remember in like third grade,
Speaker 1: before I went to private school, I was in public school,
Speaker 1: and I they'll remember this photo I had a sleeveless
Speaker 1: shirt with a cool shark and an orange like very
Speaker 1: loud fun clothes. I was smiling year to year. And
Speaker 1: then I went to private school. My parents got divorced,
Speaker 1: and I just didn't I just started wearing dark clothes.
Speaker 1: You just lose so much of what you care about.
Speaker 1: That's why I loved when we were talking about pleasures yesterday,
Speaker 1: like those things are so embarrassing to have that are
Speaker 1: different than the other people in your age group, like
Speaker 1: me liking Taylors with now is different than most thirty
Speaker 1: seven year old women. There's a lot of meat out there,
Speaker 1: but they're not I don't come across them often. But
Speaker 1: if I if I cared about something that was that
Speaker 1: not acceptable at that age, I would have kept it inside.
Speaker 1: And so now it's so nice to just be like yeah, iking,
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to get back there. I bought these
Speaker 1: Haynes sweaters on Amazon. D're nine dollars. I bought them
Speaker 1: in seven different colors. And this is A'm gonna wear
Speaker 1: on the pot. I'm gonna I have one for each week. Great,
Speaker 1: and then I'm done. How many times have I heard?
Speaker 1: And then I'm done? And then you you're not done.
Speaker 1: Just stop this I'm done thing. I'll get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's holding up, I'll get it. Is that the sign
Speaker 1: of just stop saying what you're saying. I was reading
Speaker 1: yesterday on reading about A D D and it reminded
Speaker 1: me of you, D H D A D. And it
Speaker 1: was saying that, um, you know, one of the things
Speaker 1: is just going through hobbies very quickly, going through obsessions,
Speaker 1: like getting really into something and being like getting all
Speaker 1: the equipment for it and then abandoning it within a
Speaker 1: week and then moving on to something else. And it
Speaker 1: reminded me of you. And You're like, I've heard so
Speaker 1: many times like I just got three these three pants,
Speaker 1: I got these three sweatshecks, got these two new shoes.
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done. And I'm like, and it's almost
Speaker 1: like the grocery store thing where you go, I'm going
Speaker 1: to the grocery store, you on anything, and you're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm full, And I'm like, it's not about now, it's
Speaker 1: about late, like you will need other clothes later. You're
Speaker 1: not done, might be done forever. I mean for a while.
Speaker 1: I've stuck with golf for four months now. Golf is
Speaker 1: a real thing. Yeah for you. Um No, I'm sure
Speaker 1: at one point I'll go, well, I'm gonna start dressing
Speaker 1: more mature. But I don't think I think I passed that.
Speaker 1: I look at what my dad wears. My dad wears
Speaker 1: like yeehaw junction like button down there, like the toll
Speaker 1: booth shirts, like he dresses like he wears crocs. He
Speaker 1: just doesn't a man. I mean, you get just comfort.
Speaker 1: But there's something about saying just wearing comfort where you
Speaker 1: go you're accepting your like that you're old in a way.
Speaker 1: So I think there's like a balance of like that's
Speaker 1: the fear, right, what's your favorite thing a woman wears?
Speaker 1: Like your girlfriend, like, what does she look bust in
Speaker 1: when you're like, oh my god, I love a romper.
Speaker 1: Guys love rompers. They fucking love why. I don't know. Chappelle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chapelle was wearing another denim romper the other night, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I literally want that romper. It was
Speaker 1: so it was like a feminine romper. I love a romper.
Speaker 1: I do feel bad that you have to take it
Speaker 1: off all the way to ship. Oh I didn't. The
Speaker 1: other yesterday I was wearing one, the one the Leopard
Speaker 1: one or the snakes one. I over, I don't even
Speaker 1: notice I was. I guess that is a romper. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I went over to my sister's and I didn't
Speaker 1: feel like taking it unbuttoning it down to take it
Speaker 1: off to P So I pulled it to the side
Speaker 1: like a swimsuit and soaked it in urine. Because when
Speaker 1: you pull your to the side, like it just trickles
Speaker 1: like a cave wall. It doesn't come out like a stream.
Speaker 1: It just to the like a cave woman. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: so wait, so you pull it to the side, when
Speaker 1: did it get on you? When you know when I
Speaker 1: P Because the P doesn't come out in like a
Speaker 1: direct It's not like I have a penis that makes
Speaker 1: it just come out of a street whole. It like
Speaker 1: it just it hits other things and it's like it's spread.
Speaker 1: It's almost like, um, I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: like when Jesus cries like those like when you hold
Speaker 1: a hose. At the end of a hose, you know, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: there's too much blocking it and so they don't go
Speaker 1: on the sides and you have to like really get
Speaker 1: your you know, it was just a little b um
Speaker 1: well you're like I had already been sweating and stuff
Speaker 1: and I was over there, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's fine, like you know, I'll just change when I
Speaker 1: get home. And that's what I did. So it was fine,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was It was like that that was
Speaker 1: your last you were wearing that because you had no
Speaker 1: laundry like yet, I know, and it looked like I
Speaker 1: was so oh yeah, but I did. I did laundrying,
Speaker 1: still all in the dryer though, Um we uh, we're
Speaker 1: going to a concert tonight. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: any of him, but you're a fan and became a
Speaker 1: fan of him. He's a big Texas uh song singer songwriter.
Speaker 1: I was introduced to him in college freshman year by
Speaker 1: this guy, Brian Vogel, and he, I don't know, he
Speaker 1: liked him and that one song party goes on forever whatever.
Speaker 1: And I think if I listened to his songs three
Speaker 1: times today, yeah, I'll know the lyrics better than you will.
Speaker 1: And you've heard it a million times, Like you are
Speaker 1: not a lyric guy, no, never been. I know the
Speaker 1: last word of everyone? What do you do at a concert?
Speaker 1: Like what's your body gonna do tonight? Like are you
Speaker 1: going to sway to the music. What do you do
Speaker 1: when you're listening to music and you have to stand
Speaker 1: by Luis you just jumped down? Um, I know we're
Speaker 1: not drinking. Yeah, what do you what's going to happen?
Speaker 1: Like That's kind of what I'm nervous about, is like
Speaker 1: what do I do with my body? Because if I
Speaker 1: know the words, I'm like singing along, I'm dancing, and
Speaker 1: I like, no, when the beat's gonna drop out, I
Speaker 1: can like, you know, but there's nothing worse than when
Speaker 1: you don't know it and everyone else like stops at
Speaker 1: this one point, but you're still going because you don't
Speaker 1: know that it drops out. Yeah, you're like this song
Speaker 1: was only two minutes thirty seconds. I but I like
Speaker 1: to find a nook sometimes, like and with just my
Speaker 1: friends and we people watch and I kind of just
Speaker 1: can really take in the musician instead of like, I
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in the front. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be even I don't want to be stuck
Speaker 1: at all. I just never want to be in the front. Oh,
Speaker 1: I love the front. Now are you a front? You're
Speaker 1: like a mosh pitter? I Uh, but I don't like
Speaker 1: being in the front row because I'm terrified that someone
Speaker 1: will put the microphone in my in my face and
Speaker 1: then I'll just be like like Usher did to me
Speaker 1: at the I Heart Awards. Oh my god, that was
Speaker 1: so embarrassing, and um yeah, that's a that's a that
Speaker 1: is terrifying and you might go, uh if I start
Speaker 1: around myself with thing like honestly, Michelle Williams and the
Speaker 1: Survivor sounds like someone put a mike in our in
Speaker 1: her face at a concert. That is how bad it is.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I don't. I don't want to. I love
Speaker 1: with Jeff Tweety making eye contact with me. I love
Speaker 1: touching Nellie for Tato. I love running my hands through
Speaker 1: Adam Durrett's dreadlocks. I love John Mayer possibly looking like
Speaker 1: I love being front and like I know that they
Speaker 1: well I don't know this, but I would imagine they
Speaker 1: get off on people being such fans that they are
Speaker 1: singing their songs and their mouthing the lyrics, and like
Speaker 1: I if I'm if I'm that fan, I want to
Speaker 1: show like how excited I am and I want to
Speaker 1: be upfront. Um, but about the attention you're getting from them?
Speaker 1: Are you given it? To them. No, it's like, but no,
Speaker 1: it's it's just being as close as I can and
Speaker 1: too brilliance into this thing that has brought me so
Speaker 1: much joy, and also like showing them like I appreciate you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. I'm like, I hope you see
Speaker 1: how much I fucking love you, and I want to
Speaker 1: say that. Uh tonight, though, I have a goal of
Speaker 1: just observing this guy's been around forever right live performing,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's in the sixties, been around. I want
Speaker 1: to just as someone who's looking into getting into singing,
Speaker 1: songwriting and performing, I wanna see what things I like about.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna observe the performance and the stage presence and
Speaker 1: the stage banter and things like that. I'm sure I'll
Speaker 1: have really good banter. He's supposedly pretty funny, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna probably show you that less is more. It's
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Harry Styles is coming tomorrow. I kind
Speaker 1: of want to find Jenny Lewis is opening for him.
Speaker 1: I know, dude, I I kind of want to go.
Speaker 1: Do you want to try to get tickets? Okay? If
Speaker 1: anyone in St. Louis can get us tickets to Harry
Speaker 1: Styles tomorrow, and St. Louis please hit us up. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to the news. Yes, right, yes, I do.
Speaker 1: Keep watching him dance on stage, and you just got
Speaker 1: a girl crush when he sings that song. It's funny
Speaker 1: because it's like, would I go gay from him? It's like, no,
Speaker 1: he's way more feminine than women. I've probably already fucked.
Speaker 1: I mean I met him once and I did not
Speaker 1: think anything of him before I met him, and then
Speaker 1: in person, I was just like, oh my god, he
Speaker 1: is just just beautiful. He made me realize I'm probably
Speaker 1: a lesbian. How tall is he tall? Right? You know
Speaker 1: I'm hype blind. I don't know. Yeah, you are hype blind.
Speaker 1: I'm very high. And he was like probably still growing
Speaker 1: at the point I met him. I think they were
Speaker 1: still young. Oh yeah, he's a man. Now he's gone through.
Speaker 1: It's like JT fades with that cross tattoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. That when JT became
Speaker 1: a man. Yeah, when he got the cross tattoo on
Speaker 1: his shoulder and every girl was like, oh, I'll funk
Speaker 1: him now. Yeah yeah, yeah. Alright, the news, baby, it's Tuesday, Phots.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having all the swells, having a great
Speaker 1: time out there. At least I think it's Tuesday. But hey,
Speaker 1: it's Friday somewhere. No it's not. Some schizophrenics maybe you
Speaker 1: think it's Friday. What if it's only Friday in some
Speaker 1: person's mind, that's great, What a good life. Bruce, a
Speaker 1: disabled Kiwi parrot lacking his upper bill, invented a way
Speaker 1: to preen himself by using pebble pebbles grasp between his
Speaker 1: tongue and lower bill. His unique preening behavior appears to
Speaker 1: be deliberate, an innovation for self care as a direct
Speaker 1: consequence of his disability. Wow, that is impressive. This reminds
Speaker 1: me of the octopus teacher. If you guys haven't seen it, um,
Speaker 1: just that little know what that octopus was capable of? Oh,
Speaker 1: what a sweetie, a little bird with he looks like
Speaker 1: he has an underbite with a bird and he uses
Speaker 1: I get what he's doing. He's using the rock. He
Speaker 1: uses his tongue almost as the top bill, and then
Speaker 1: he probably scoops the rocks so that it tugs at
Speaker 1: his feathers. And what a sweet He uses a bunch
Speaker 1: of different objects, and like when you start using when
Speaker 1: animals start to use tools, it almost makes you go,
Speaker 1: why do we eat chickens? You know, it almost makes
Speaker 1: you think that maybe chickens deserve better lives than the
Speaker 1: ones we give them. But but you know, you like
Speaker 1: your eggs too much to that. But I like, dude,
Speaker 1: chickens are in hell because they make eggs, so that
Speaker 1: he does it. And also baby chicks are murdered by
Speaker 1: the millions every year because they are not egg laying heads.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it actually the egg industry leads to a
Speaker 1: ton of But I didn't know that, That's all I thought.
Speaker 1: I didn't know there were two different kind of eggs, right, right, Well,
Speaker 1: all you would have to do is maybe just go
Speaker 1: what's bad about eating eggs? And then you would learnt
Speaker 1: that's a good point to Yeah, this, that's so sweet.
Speaker 1: I love when birds when animals are used tools. There
Speaker 1: was this other um and preening is cleaning itself. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what that was. Yeah, yeah, well you don't
Speaker 1: even know what cleaning yourself is too. You need to
Speaker 1: look up that part. I'll get it. Um. No, the
Speaker 1: the octopus teacher. Uh that that was really interesting to
Speaker 1: me because this octopus, like the guy that was studying him,
Speaker 1: was learning things about him that he would go home
Speaker 1: and research and go No one has any documentation of
Speaker 1: an animal doing this kind of thing, and so animals
Speaker 1: are capable of things that we don't even know yet.
Speaker 1: And it's just so I felt emotions. I don't. I
Speaker 1: haven't felt I honestly, I think that's why. That's a
Speaker 1: feeling that I have right here in my solar plexus
Speaker 1: that I can't let up, Like that octopus cause something
Speaker 1: in me to um, it's a bruin, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to release it because it will be it will
Speaker 1: make everyone's life around me hell to like to excuse
Speaker 1: why do I keep thinking? But yes, I think like
Speaker 1: the way you can't watch that and argue that any
Speaker 1: animal doesn't have the capability to want comfort and is sweet,
Speaker 1: like if an octopus can be so um, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can put so many feelings and emotions into
Speaker 1: the way that it's undeniable. It's not even like you're
Speaker 1: doing the thing where it's what is it called when
Speaker 1: you put you you anthropomorphie, you you who humanize an animal.
Speaker 1: I forget what it's called. It's not that, but it's um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think anthropomor uh anthropomorphized. I don't know. It's something
Speaker 1: about when it's just your projecting, like, oh, you're having
Speaker 1: no empathy because you're like that animal is just like
Speaker 1: a human because it looks scared, so it must be scared.
Speaker 1: But it's like animals display different things, so you can't
Speaker 1: just assume. But you got to watch this because you
Speaker 1: just you realize it's every This guy had an epiphany
Speaker 1: one day. He used to never have like this guy
Speaker 1: that the octopus teacher guy. He even said in it,
Speaker 1: he goes, I did not used to have a lot
Speaker 1: of empathy for animals. I just like I didn't care, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew that they were like cute and like he
Speaker 1: pretty much felt the way most people feel like dogs
Speaker 1: and cats and bunnies and kittens and everything. We're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. But he didn't extend it. And then
Speaker 1: something happened he like marks the day where he was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, like this just broke my brain. Like
Speaker 1: every animal it is capable of of this, of the
Speaker 1: of wanting to live, of like wanting to you know,
Speaker 1: not every animal. I think there's some like you know,
Speaker 1: single cell organisms that don't really have feelings but I
Speaker 1: remember the day. I remember that day for me too,
Speaker 1: of like whole what just happened, Like my brain broke,
Speaker 1: of like I can't. I can't eat animals anymore. It's
Speaker 1: not like I don't want to, I can't like that
Speaker 1: is and it's I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else,
Speaker 1: but there's a moment that you can have an awakening
Speaker 1: of sorts where you just realize it's not you can't
Speaker 1: do it anymore, because every animal, like even bugs, are
Speaker 1: like little. The video that we were talking about yesterday
Speaker 1: with Michael the flight attendant helping Veniceo, the poor old
Speaker 1: man who had Alzheimer's who went in his pants at
Speaker 1: the airport and just helping keep deaf. Okay, so let's
Speaker 1: talk about that video. It's about six minutes long. It
Speaker 1: was on our story yesterday. We put it up. We
Speaker 1: told you then to show to go watch. It is
Speaker 1: from a any reality show called Airline I believe that
Speaker 1: would just um follow the you know, the drama of
Speaker 1: working in the airline industry. And there is a story
Speaker 1: one day of a guy at l a X, an
Speaker 1: old man and his like probably late eighties, whose wheelchair
Speaker 1: bound and his wife, the sweet woman who is you know,
Speaker 1: his caretaker, and they're stalled at the gate of Southwest flight.
Speaker 1: They've been kicked off the flight because he defecated in
Speaker 1: his pants, and they go, we gotta call Mike, and
Speaker 1: Mike is just like walking like at first, I go,
Speaker 1: I don't like this guy's walking had a weird energy.
Speaker 1: At first, Yeah, I go, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna like this guy. And then this guy
Speaker 1: just handled this situation in a way that you just
Speaker 1: most people wouldn't And I think most people would think
Speaker 1: they would handle it that way, but they wouldn't. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like he not only you know, makes this woman
Speaker 1: feel so she's humiliated that her husband's pooped and she
Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do about it. And he's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they just want to go home to Albuquerque, and
Speaker 1: he's like, we're gonna get you home. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: you on another flight. Don't you worry about that. And
Speaker 1: he he goes, we got to get their luggage off
Speaker 1: the plane. And then he goes and eat change is
Speaker 1: the man himself, and I'll help you. You don't have
Speaker 1: to say sorry. You have to say sorry. He goes
Speaker 1: and then he related to her, which I think helps
Speaker 1: so much when someone's going through something like being like
Speaker 1: my mom is sick. This is like oh that was
Speaker 1: his quote, this is life, which I you are not alone,
Speaker 1: you know you're not alone, and he goes, this is life,
Speaker 1: and that that just makes it like, that's what life is.
Speaker 1: Life is ugly, it's messy. Sometimes you got book gloves
Speaker 1: on and white. But guys asked for five dollars and
Speaker 1: fifty cents an hour, and uh yeah, you just gotta
Speaker 1: know that, Like that person doesn't want to be shipping
Speaker 1: their pants are like you just all you have to
Speaker 1: do is go would do you think this person wanted this?
Speaker 1: Like do you think they wanted to be in this scenario?
Speaker 1: Like even yesterday I was over at my parents house
Speaker 1: and or at my sister's house, and my mom was
Speaker 1: talking about the um you know, the three comedians who
Speaker 1: died or the three comic There's one comic and then
Speaker 1: two other people and then Kate Quickly, a comedian. Four
Speaker 1: people were like three of them died from fence at
Speaker 1: all in cocaine. They were all just like partying and
Speaker 1: Kate Quickly, we don't even know what's gonna happen with her?
Speaker 1: Thankfully she survived. She is someone that I know and like,
Speaker 1: I am definitely pulling for. And you know, first of all,
Speaker 1: it's got to be embarrassing that everyone now knows you've
Speaker 1: done coke and like you you did fent at all,
Speaker 1: and uh, you got a bad supply, and it's like
Speaker 1: and my mom's goes. You know, my parents are like
Speaker 1: they need to, you know, prosecute the dealer, Like they
Speaker 1: need to find who the dealer was and who did this.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, do you think the dealer wants to
Speaker 1: be dealing cocaine? Like I don't know, Like I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't, I can't. I'm with your parents on this one. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone deals. Yes, I understand what people
Speaker 1: deal drugs when they have other options, but I think
Speaker 1: so our system is so broken that in order for
Speaker 1: some people to survive, they that's the only way they're
Speaker 1: going to be able. You can't afford a one bedroom
Speaker 1: apartment on minimum wage. And if you're a single mom
Speaker 1: or a single dad that has four kids and you're
Speaker 1: trying to clothe them and feed them, and you can
Speaker 1: either go get a job at Walgreen's years old. He's
Speaker 1: a maserati. Well, I bet he has shitty parents and
Speaker 1: do you think he and that and he didn't get
Speaker 1: enough love or support and he probably goes to a
Speaker 1: shitty school because he was born into a shitty neighborhood.
Speaker 1: It's like, no worry. No one wants to be these things.
Speaker 1: No one wants to be a bad person. I mean,
Speaker 1: and I know this is like where does it end?
Speaker 1: It doesn't end. You can extend. I can extend empathy
Speaker 1: for Trump even because he didn't choose his fucking awful
Speaker 1: brain and he's a bad person, but like he can't
Speaker 1: help it. He's just a terrible person and he was
Speaker 1: born with that brain. I just think if you knew
Speaker 1: fat in always in it, like if you're dealing coke,
Speaker 1: pure coke. People are having a good time, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but once you know that you're putting fat and all
Speaker 1: in it because it's cheaper, even though that some people
Speaker 1: might die. Go well, I don't think that. Well where
Speaker 1: I said, I I get what you're saying. They're like
Speaker 1: the person that put it in and knows the consequences
Speaker 1: as we should find them and punish them. So that
Speaker 1: there's an example set to other people who might do that.
Speaker 1: But I do think that just because the deal we shouldn't.
Speaker 1: My parents just assumed the dealer put it in I go,
Speaker 1: But the dealer got it from someone, so maybe was
Speaker 1: that person. So it doesn't end. I always want my
Speaker 1: parents to know, like, if I die, don't avenge my death,
Speaker 1: because I guarantee if someone murders me, they had a
Speaker 1: fucking terrible childhood that they were probably physically abuse, you know,
Speaker 1: like murder their parents, murder their grandparents. Like whoever does
Speaker 1: the thing? Like? And you know, I f and eye
Speaker 1: doesn't work, like it just it's it um to I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I. My mom was like, we
Speaker 1: gottas no one can do drugs, no one can do
Speaker 1: cokeer heroine. My sister goes, oh yeah, we know. She goes, no,
Speaker 1: she goes, we can't do coke er heroine. You guys,
Speaker 1: this is scary, this fent and al. She's were googling it.
Speaker 1: She's like, my god, and I go, it's so funny
Speaker 1: to me because we're just My sister and I are
Speaker 1: both like a ring, would we do coker here? When
Speaker 1: she goes, I don't mean us. I mean just like
Speaker 1: anyone and I'm like, yeah, we we everyone kind of
Speaker 1: knows that. But but she is right, like the fence
Speaker 1: and al thing is out of them. That's how mac
Speaker 1: Miller died. And uh, I was listening to Michael Kay
Speaker 1: Williams who just actually passed away. Who knows what was
Speaker 1: in his I think it was heroindow, but it might
Speaker 1: have been laced with that and all, who knows. Uh.
Speaker 1: He was talking about the wire and that's really what
Speaker 1: they wanted to show with the wires, that like no
Speaker 1: one wanted to what you're saying, Like, no one wants
Speaker 1: to be a drug dealer, and it's their environment that
Speaker 1: pushes them there. They don't wake up and go, hey,
Speaker 1: I want to fucking no one wants to be in
Speaker 1: a gang. A lot of times there they have no choice.
Speaker 1: They'll get they'll get beat up and murdered if they
Speaker 1: don't join the gang. And then you hate people for
Speaker 1: being in a gang. But it's like if you were
Speaker 1: born you white privilege motherfucker who thinks these people chose
Speaker 1: to be in a gang, and like they're bad inherently
Speaker 1: and that you would have done the same thing if
Speaker 1: you were born in their situations. So stop this whole
Speaker 1: thing of like I wouldn't do that if I were them,
Speaker 1: Yes you would. It's called empathy. Realize you have a
Speaker 1: different brain, you have different parents, you have a different
Speaker 1: socio economic status that you were born into, and yes,
Speaker 1: you have things in your life that that the gang
Speaker 1: member should empathize with the fact that you can't fucking
Speaker 1: understand why they would be gang members. They should empathize
Speaker 1: with the fact that your brain is so fucked up
Speaker 1: that you can't have empathy. Like we all need to
Speaker 1: extend it all the biker gang just admit that the
Speaker 1: outfits are cute. I just love biker gangs. Out they are,
Speaker 1: but they're all wearing leather together. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: it's so cute. It's always funny for people who act
Speaker 1: like they don't give a ship or they're so like,
Speaker 1: you know, against the grain, like like even Chappelle wearing
Speaker 1: a jumper. That's always my example of like this guy
Speaker 1: who apparently doesn't give a ship. He chose a onesie
Speaker 1: that he buttons up. That's a guy who cares. He
Speaker 1: made patches with his name on him that everyone in
Speaker 1: his entourage wears. That's a guy who cares what you
Speaker 1: think about him. Yes, and I think he would even
Speaker 1: admit that himself. Even the Edge comic would say that, Okay,
Speaker 1: oh Edge, he's staying away, though for now he might come.
Speaker 1: Studies of regret show that people are more inclined to
Speaker 1: regret the things they don't do rather than the things
Speaker 1: they do, which is interesting because usually when you talk
Speaker 1: about regret, like I fucking regret doing coke that night,
Speaker 1: and then I regret this, But then it's not like
Speaker 1: but then yeah, so like the things you didn't do,
Speaker 1: whether it's like what maybe you didn't study in college,
Speaker 1: what you actually really wanted to do. It's almost like
Speaker 1: the death bet thing people say they don't regret. They're
Speaker 1: what people say on their death butt is not what
Speaker 1: they did did, it's what they didn't do, like being
Speaker 1: with family more, be more present, like all these things that,
Speaker 1: like you died tomorrow, what would be a regret of yours?
Speaker 1: Living in St. Louis No, Um, I'm turning never answering
Speaker 1: a question, sincerely, Yeah, no help there, it's the first
Speaker 1: time I know, what do you do? You feel like?
Speaker 1: I think of regrets in my life and I'm like
Speaker 1: it's when I've I've hurt people that I love three
Speaker 1: seconds ago. Yeah, um, let me think, Uh, what would
Speaker 1: I regret not doing or just um or believe you know,
Speaker 1: I regret not reading a book that someone recommended to
Speaker 1: me that would have changed my perspective on something I regret.
Speaker 1: I probably regret not getting closer with my grandparents while
Speaker 1: they were around. I feel like my brother didn't a
Speaker 1: much better job with that. What are you missing out
Speaker 1: on now because of that? You think stories understanding where
Speaker 1: I come from, Like why maybe I behave a certain way,
Speaker 1: why I like a certain thing, what they had to
Speaker 1: go through struggles which might make me appreciate more what
Speaker 1: I have. Don't you have a grandma that still alive?
Speaker 1: Can't you actually know what? I want to call her? Oh,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't call her? Just trying not to be sincere
Speaker 1: she's a hundred and she has dementia and she doesn't
Speaker 1: really know where she is. She worries though you know
Speaker 1: they're just three minutes. Yeah, yeah, yes, like yeah so
Speaker 1: I could. Yeah, No, I could do that with my
Speaker 1: mom too, and I still I don't. I'm not like
Speaker 1: I don't do it. Yeah, regretting what you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess my regret is what I've done, it's not what
Speaker 1: I haven't done. So I'm trying to think of what
Speaker 1: I haven't done that I regret, and it's um probably
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, it wouldn't be like that. It
Speaker 1: would be like I regret um, I regret, not um.
Speaker 1: Apologizing for things like the other day, I apologize to
Speaker 1: someone that I felt like I had wronged before, and
Speaker 1: I was able to reach out and like, because I thought, like,
Speaker 1: what if I die, you want to I want to
Speaker 1: do that? And how long ago we were like talking
Speaker 1: about this person and I knew that I had like
Speaker 1: past beef with them, and I was just like, I
Speaker 1: this person I actually really respect and I and I
Speaker 1: like and they and I was able to see through
Speaker 1: their work that they've been through a lot of struggle
Speaker 1: and that their life isn't I was able to empathize
Speaker 1: with the person and be like, whatever whatever I assumed
Speaker 1: about this person, they actually are extremely they have their
Speaker 1: own story, what brought them to however I judged them
Speaker 1: and how did they react? They they accepted it and
Speaker 1: we're like thank you, and then we it was just
Speaker 1: like good to go. So the next time I see
Speaker 1: this person, it's not gonna be weird. And it's just
Speaker 1: I don't expect to be best friends or like, you know,
Speaker 1: like chummy every time we see each other. But now
Speaker 1: I just took accountability for being a twat, you know,
Speaker 1: and they feel like you're an actual twatter? Was it
Speaker 1: more in your head? Like you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You know sometimes when you're like, I gotta owe that
Speaker 1: person apology and they must be thinking about this or
Speaker 1: it must be they thought I was a lot for sure,
Speaker 1: they did, and they should have like I, you know,
Speaker 1: it was that was that was one that was you know,
Speaker 1: I I went ahead and did only because I was like,
Speaker 1: I would regret this if I died and that never
Speaker 1: got tied up um or they died. And and also
Speaker 1: because I was exposed to some of their work that
Speaker 1: let me in a little bit more and showed me
Speaker 1: the struggle that that person came from. And I just
Speaker 1: was like filled with a lot of love for that
Speaker 1: person and like, wow, thank you. They shared something really vulnerable.
Speaker 1: That person isn't as isn't what I thought. And I
Speaker 1: shouldn't make assumptions about people ever, and it's so hard
Speaker 1: not to do and no, what about you. The thing
Speaker 1: that comes to mind is, um, I guess I I
Speaker 1: wish that I wasn't such like a hermit in my twenties.
Speaker 1: I was so um, I don't know, like anti social
Speaker 1: and I had a lot of like fun opportunities that
Speaker 1: I could have made more of. And I and that's
Speaker 1: my regret. I got invited to go to the Grateful
Speaker 1: Dead concert last night, um and John Mayer's like Dead
Speaker 1: and Company done Mayor is there and um, and I
Speaker 1: turned it down because I just didn't feel like standing
Speaker 1: all night. I'm going to the concert tonight And I
Speaker 1: turned it down. And I wrote the person later being like,
Speaker 1: I really regret I didn't go. I really regret it,
Speaker 1: being as it would have been fun. I haven't been
Speaker 1: to that venue in a while. It's now named something.
Speaker 1: It's named like the American Casino Stages, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was going to be some casino like venue indoors,
Speaker 1: but it's Riverport. It's the place I went to go
Speaker 1: see Dave Matthews as a teen, Like it was it
Speaker 1: would have been nostalgic. But then I reasoned that there
Speaker 1: was a reason I didn't go, And the reason is
Speaker 1: that I could have been in a car crash there
Speaker 1: or like on the way there all the way back,
Speaker 1: like who knows when I avoided I needed to watch
Speaker 1: nine eleven documentary with you and and learn how we
Speaker 1: got to a place where the Taliban hated us. And
Speaker 1: then we put on scenes from marriage and I was like,
Speaker 1: scenes scenes from marriage, Oh my god, that I kind
Speaker 1: of liked it. I can't wait for the next episode. Actually,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a short break and come back
Speaker 1: with why do I Care? Why do I care? All right?
Speaker 1: Why do I care? Andrew? This is big news. Are
Speaker 1: you sitting? Yeah? I mean you're looking at me. I
Speaker 1: don't thought you could be floating. Are you sure? Kanye
Speaker 1: West follows Kim Kardashian back on Instagram. I haven't heard
Speaker 1: this usually I know what's going on with why do
Speaker 1: I Care? Oh my god? Yeah. So the big thing
Speaker 1: I guess with celebrities now is when you know it's
Speaker 1: really over the follow Um, all right, well, you know
Speaker 1: that is the mother of his children. Someone pointed out
Speaker 1: the other day on de moi subreddit that there's an
Speaker 1: interest they go, what's like an interesting fact you've realized
Speaker 1: about celebrities that no one's noticed and someone said that
Speaker 1: all of the Kardashians only have babies with one man
Speaker 1: even when they're not like actually on good terms. Like
Speaker 1: there's something about that family that goes, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: do We're not going to accept the mother. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: Robert Creditian died so she couldn't do so she went
Speaker 1: over to before he died. Yes, I believe, Oh yes, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not like trying to quiz you.
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I think they were, but you know, um,
Speaker 1: Chloe had a baby with Tristan. Tristan, yeah, to two
Speaker 1: different I think. And then Kylie is now having another
Speaker 1: baby with her baby daddy. But their speculation that they
Speaker 1: aren't really on good term Scott Disick that guy, Like
Speaker 1: that's an interesting thing that I would have never put together.
Speaker 1: So I think that Kim will maybe continue to have
Speaker 1: babies with Kanye, even if they don't have a three
Speaker 1: or four st Chicago Norris maybe three and then another
Speaker 1: one maybe that they did Sergasy. I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: but what I do know is, um, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that doesn't She was like promoting Donda and like kind
Speaker 1: of celebrating him a lot. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: they're over, but um yeah, I mean I guess I
Speaker 1: don't care. I really don't care. You know what I
Speaker 1: did like was um machine gun Kelly. Did you see
Speaker 1: his lyrics that he posted to that he formed at
Speaker 1: the A Daddy? No, he's talking about like he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm a genius. I could have I could have made Donna,
Speaker 1: but I bade this from my dead father. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: he to say that to make a claim that he
Speaker 1: could have done. I haven't listened to Donap. I listened
Speaker 1: to some of it. I it's a little Jesus e
Speaker 1: for me. I do love his last album, which we've
Speaker 1: listened to a tony you know. And then Redren was
Speaker 1: a great song, the one he did with Kid Cuddy
Speaker 1: the kids he ghosts. But I don't know. It's getting
Speaker 1: a little preachy. It's like they're starting and Bieber does
Speaker 1: it too. There's like a line between like when is
Speaker 1: Christian rock? When has it become too much Christian rock.
Speaker 1: I don't even think Kanye think. I think he thinks
Speaker 1: he's Jesus. It's it's there's no way that Kanye will
Speaker 1: I think that someone's better than him, even Jesus I feel,
Speaker 1: so it's weird to me that he would even uphold. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know there's I feel like Kanye thinks he's
Speaker 1: he's Jesus and and that's a common thing for people
Speaker 1: with his mental illness condition to think, well, I think
Speaker 1: there is, but I don't. I haven't heard Donda, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about it. Become like very like
Speaker 1: strictly religious after they've maybe had a lot of past
Speaker 1: like bullshit that they've done or past like mistakes, and
Speaker 1: so they recreate, they re they go the other way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they find God and will God forgive, Jesus forgives and
Speaker 1: so all of the things that you've done. Like it
Speaker 1: just it's such a nice thing when you do. You know,
Speaker 1: I found God to not Jesus but God, and like
Speaker 1: it does. Uh. Like I was talking to my friend
Speaker 1: last night and I was lamenting about you know, boy stuff,
Speaker 1: and she was just like, well, God as a it's
Speaker 1: all gonna God's gonna take care of it. It's all
Speaker 1: gonna go. And it was just like, oh good, I
Speaker 1: don't have to fucking worry like I It's just it
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it just makes you not there's so much,
Speaker 1: so much of what we do, so much of the
Speaker 1: bad that comes in the world, I think is from
Speaker 1: shame and feeling like you're responsible for the way you
Speaker 1: act and what you do. And my my sense of
Speaker 1: God is no free will, like whatever I was born into,
Speaker 1: like it's just gonna happen. There's it's already gonna happen.
Speaker 1: There's already it's already in place. I can't change. I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't get to pick how I think you're God.
Speaker 1: There should be like a different word for it, because
Speaker 1: like when I think God, I think religion, and what
Speaker 1: you're talking about seems like a higher like a higher
Speaker 1: higher power. That's that's what I mean by God. It's
Speaker 1: not like an entity. I just believe like there's something
Speaker 1: that's it's not in my control. And when I lose control,
Speaker 1: I can calm the funk down. Like when I used
Speaker 1: to be sleepless for weeks because of nuclear war and
Speaker 1: I saw a movie the day after tomorrow in eighth
Speaker 1: grade and it ruined my life because I was like
Speaker 1: any second I could just turn into a flashing skeleton.
Speaker 1: And like every we are like gonna live in a
Speaker 1: world where there's no electricity and famine and we all
Speaker 1: have sores on our faces. It was like I just
Speaker 1: couldn't handle it. And then one day went down to
Speaker 1: my parents room eighth grade, going to sleep on the floor,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Mom and Dad, I like cracked
Speaker 1: open the door because I was always scared of that
Speaker 1: they were gonna have sex or I'd be walking into
Speaker 1: them having sex. And I was just like, and they
Speaker 1: just my dad just goes what And I was just like,
Speaker 1: I just can't sleep. I can't stand the fact that
Speaker 1: there could be a nuclear war, like someone could press
Speaker 1: a button and then we could all evaporate. And he's like,
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing, And I
Speaker 1: just shut the door and went to bed for the
Speaker 1: rest of my like, I never thought about it again
Speaker 1: because he took away my sense of control, which I
Speaker 1: never had. It's an illusion anyway, that you have control
Speaker 1: over anything. Do you think, Like Trump's dad was like,
Speaker 1: you're going to handle the codes one day, you know what,
Speaker 1: your death. But that's what God does. God, the idea
Speaker 1: of God, takes away the sense of control you think
Speaker 1: you have. Because when you think you have control, it
Speaker 1: might make you feel like you feel better, but it
Speaker 1: actually makes you feel worse because when things go wrong,
Speaker 1: you you are to blame. You're fundamentally wrong something. You
Speaker 1: you're a bad person. I feel that so much d
Speaker 1: especially on stage, like I feel like such a relief
Speaker 1: for some reason of like not caring what the audience like,
Speaker 1: Like what I think they'll think? It's funny, right, And
Speaker 1: it's just like and it's the same thing in life.
Speaker 1: It's like, don't do things because you think that person
Speaker 1: is going to react a certain way to you do
Speaker 1: it because that's what you want to do. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: I bomb now and I remember God, I just remember
Speaker 1: like this was meant to happen, Like I I never
Speaker 1: had a choice to not bomb. Well, you could have
Speaker 1: prepared more, No, I couldn't have. That was part of
Speaker 1: the plan too. Well, why does John mulaney get to
Speaker 1: be always so funny and successful and never not prepare
Speaker 1: Because that's his that's his plan, it's not yours. Like
Speaker 1: that's what God had in store for him, not what
Speaker 1: he had in store for you. He also has a
Speaker 1: lot of bullshit in store for John mullaney that you
Speaker 1: can project a lot of perfection onto him. But you know,
Speaker 1: so that's what I was I don't. I try to
Speaker 1: remember it's not my fault. Everything is not my fault,
Speaker 1: literally anything that happens, and um, yeah, so that's how
Speaker 1: I feel about it. Let's get to the reddit dump.
Speaker 1: But it's hard to remember. God damn it is it
Speaker 1: hard to remember that things aren't my fault. This is
Speaker 1: your reddit, all right? So this is where I go
Speaker 1: on Reddit at night. You guys get it, and I
Speaker 1: save things that I want to share with you. Okay. Um.
Speaker 1: This was from ask creddit, my favorite UM subreddit, that
Speaker 1: said what makes you the happiest? What gives you genuine happiness?
Speaker 1: And I just want to read some of the answers
Speaker 1: that people had because these are always the ones that
Speaker 1: UM make me happy. Uh. Someone said seeing people enjoy
Speaker 1: food that I cooked, especially seeing my fiance smile when
Speaker 1: she eats my from scratch chocolate chip cookies. I would
Speaker 1: never get enjoyment from that, like cooking and then feeding someone.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm so glad that's an I'm so glad
Speaker 1: that people have enjoyment from things that would bring me zip.
Speaker 1: How are the cookie or what about when they go?
Speaker 1: Was I did did you am I good golfer? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The same thing. Is the cookies good? This person said,
Speaker 1: I think it may be the only time I'm ever
Speaker 1: genuinely happy when I am in this that state of
Speaker 1: going to sleep where I think where I think, but
Speaker 1: at the same time I am neither asleep nor awake.
Speaker 1: It feels like I'm entirely detached from the physical world,
Speaker 1: free of fear and pain. And someone someone wrote, and
Speaker 1: this is the most up voted comment on the whole thread.
Speaker 1: Someone replied to that, don't try heroin, and everyone goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you love that feeling of if you resonate with that,
Speaker 1: don't touch heroine because you'll never stop. Um. Someone said,
Speaker 1: watching my cat get stuck somewhere stupid than yelling for help.
Speaker 1: The best place so far was in a cabinet over
Speaker 1: the stove. Um. Being outside with no people around. Live
Speaker 1: in a city and I get up super early and
Speaker 1: just walk around before everyone else is out best part
Speaker 1: of my day. So those were nice. Um. Someone said
Speaker 1: this is from white people Twitter. Um, this was a
Speaker 1: tweet that I enjoyed. It said. It's is from limited
Speaker 1: limitless Jest on Twitter limitless Jest. It's you have a
Speaker 1: Nintendo sixty four with gold and I you just ordered
Speaker 1: pizza with extra cheese. Your friends are coming over, and
Speaker 1: you have four rumble packs. You don't know it right now,
Speaker 1: but this is as good as life we'll ever get.
Speaker 1: And I just like, I mean, I don't relate to that,
Speaker 1: but I relate to the cheese pizza, friends coming over.
Speaker 1: It's there. I remember being like I, but I knew
Speaker 1: I was like this. I would witness adults and go,
Speaker 1: that sucks. This is it. You just get some star
Speaker 1: crunches with your friends, you eat with abandoned. There's no
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna feel fat tomorrow. There's no. And I'm
Speaker 1: not assuming that kids don't feel that way. I didn't,
Speaker 1: not yet at least. Um. But I saw this video
Speaker 1: yesterday on Instagram, on the real thing, the tiktoki thing
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and there was this little girl crying in
Speaker 1: her like she's probably four, and she's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be an adult, and she's crossed. She's
Speaker 1: sobbing because something she has to be an adult, and
Speaker 1: her mom goes, I don't want to be an adult either,
Speaker 1: to go you havetill you. I don't even want to
Speaker 1: be a teenager. It doesn't feels like a jail. It
Speaker 1: looks like a prison and it was so how is
Speaker 1: that kids so aware? That's like that's what I used
Speaker 1: to say. I used to wake up in the middle
Speaker 1: of night and go in to my parents room and go,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to write a check. When am
Speaker 1: I going to learn that? How am I going to
Speaker 1: learn that? Like I used to freak out. This was
Speaker 1: probably fourth grade and my parents go, you'll learn it,
Speaker 1: and I go, is there a class about how to
Speaker 1: write checks? Because I have no idea how I'm going
Speaker 1: to do that. And guess what, I still don't know
Speaker 1: how to write I don't know how to balance a
Speaker 1: check book or anything. Okay, this one's good. This is
Speaker 1: on ask men, what is the most shallowest deal breaker
Speaker 1: that you hold secretly? This princes I'll go first and say,
Speaker 1: and I say, with no disrespect, piercings. Just can't think
Speaker 1: of anyone who I found attractive when they had piercings. Piercing,
Speaker 1: I think they mean anything beyond like uh someone corpse
Speaker 1: manufacturer says, really nasal voices. I'm fine with almost everything,
Speaker 1: from Morgan Freeman to those really squeaky and child just tones.
Speaker 1: But the moment you start talking like a basic betch
Speaker 1: from two thousand's bad TV movie Teen Movies. I'm out.
Speaker 1: I feel really ashamed. Most people can't out bet, but
Speaker 1: I'm unable to take people seriously with it. Um. Someone
Speaker 1: said how loud they check chew food? Um? Someone said
Speaker 1: gum to two threetio if there's too much gum. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't either, actually really, and that's something that gets
Speaker 1: to me for some reason. A gummy smile, like little
Speaker 1: teeth and too much gums. Yeah, okay, I only have gums,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what. Yeah, that's a little bit
Speaker 1: of hypocritical. Yeah, look, I'm just Someone said I took
Speaker 1: this one personally fake tan obsession. Yes it's shallow, but
Speaker 1: it's a look I personally do not find attractive in
Speaker 1: any way. Well, I guarantee you that person wouldn't like
Speaker 1: me more when I'm tan than pale, but only for
Speaker 1: four days of that. Yeah. Someone said weird knees. You
Speaker 1: can be a straight dime, but if your knees are weird,
Speaker 1: then I'm out. Has knees, I know mine looks like
Speaker 1: they have African elephants on them. Yeah, or babes. Some
Speaker 1: people have babies and knees. It's like souls of dad people. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Someone said, um, yeah, that's so true. Uh, there's so
Speaker 1: um dragon talent nails. Someone said if they scrape their
Speaker 1: cutlery against the plates when they eat, or they bite
Speaker 1: the cutlery when they when eating. Um. Someone said, uh,
Speaker 1: auty belly buttons. Uh. Someone goes, y'all don't understand the
Speaker 1: word shallow. Shallow is not people who smell awful or
Speaker 1: have horrible personality. Shallow is not dating women with big
Speaker 1: noses or eggs ama or tattoos or something. Um. Someone says,
Speaker 1: if you leave toast crumbs in the butter, I'm sucking
Speaker 1: out the door. Whoa toast crumbs in the butter? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to date that. Um, what do you
Speaker 1: have any you said gums? Um, well, like physical things
Speaker 1: or or more. I mean shallow stuff that they probably
Speaker 1: can't control. Um. I mean it's shallow, but I'm getting
Speaker 1: over it. But when a woman has like a happy trail,
Speaker 1: a little like three hair is I just like I
Speaker 1: zone in on them and I don't know why. What
Speaker 1: does it mean to you? I'm about to blow a
Speaker 1: guy's masculine to you. Now, I don't I guess. I
Speaker 1: guess so. Maybe it's just for some reason, but I'm
Speaker 1: kind of getting I'm I'm very close to over all
Speaker 1: those like shallow things at least or getting closer. It's
Speaker 1: not getting worse with age, it's me understanding more later on.
Speaker 1: What about no chin? You know, let's get into final thought.
Speaker 1: The thing about no chin is I thought that was
Speaker 1: one of my deal breakers. But the thing is, I've
Speaker 1: fallen in love with someone who just didn't really have
Speaker 1: the like the like at a Yeah, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: like I just realized now I can be in love
Speaker 1: with anything like. I just don't have any physical deal breakers.
Speaker 1: Certainly when I'm just bumbling or something. I'm just like
Speaker 1: me look like anything like that, but you know, real life, yes,
Speaker 1: someone that like, um, I don't know what my deal
Speaker 1: breakers are, honestly, someone with like that's too fit, like
Speaker 1: that's too that spends too much time at the gym,
Speaker 1: that's too that grilled chicken and asparagus and like just
Speaker 1: you know, breaks it up and during the week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to I don't need I just
Speaker 1: I just beat my eights sort of. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have to beat yours too. Um, I just uh
Speaker 1: some guy that um you know, uh what about Bald.
Speaker 1: You don't mind people that people that you know, anyone
Speaker 1: that that's not shallow, but like voting for Trump or
Speaker 1: being friends with people that like tolerant not Bald doesn't know,
Speaker 1: that's not that doesn't doesn't bother me. I guess like
Speaker 1: when people oh, um, not being open to being vegan
Speaker 1: and that's not shallow. Actually that's just like I I
Speaker 1: don't if someone just just like I'll never do it.
Speaker 1: It's just like or they like don't see that it's wrong,
Speaker 1: like just acknowledge that, like I'm right, you know in
Speaker 1: that scenario, Like there's just no doubt about it. That's
Speaker 1: what I always say about being vegan. That's the best
Speaker 1: part about it is where there's no way we're not right.
Speaker 1: That's the best part. You don't have to agree with us,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's there's just no way we're not
Speaker 1: right that we just like want animals to live. It
Speaker 1: can't it cannot be argued against. But I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of deal Burgers. Do you have any No, I
Speaker 1: just lost half of our listeners, by the way, by
Speaker 1: saying that I'll get them back. There's nothing better in
Speaker 1: nice Cheeseburgerka, I'm gonna put on my kid tank top.
Speaker 1: I try to be tolerant, and I don't. I can't
Speaker 1: really think of anything shallow that would be a deal
Speaker 1: breaker today. But I used to be obsessed with guys
Speaker 1: with long hair, and then I dated one and his
Speaker 1: hair routine was way too long and which specific, and
Speaker 1: that turned me off so much. Yeah, after that, I
Speaker 1: just couldn't date guys with long hair anymore. And I
Speaker 1: mean long long hair, not shoulder oh oh, like like
Speaker 1: bass player for heavy metal band like down to and
Speaker 1: they like so did they condition it? Would you have
Speaker 1: to blow dry it? They don't even blow dry their hair.
Speaker 1: Put it back to eu out like the idea of
Speaker 1: a guy that's a happy trail. Oh yeah, Like if
Speaker 1: you put his hair to ponytail, would you start getting wet?
Speaker 1: Because you know that's what guys like. There's a Pavlov's
Speaker 1: dog response that guys get boners when girls put up
Speaker 1: their ponytails, because it's generally that's so funny. I never
Speaker 1: put up my hair to blow someone, Really, what do
Speaker 1: you do with it? I just like you have a
Speaker 1: lot of hair. No, I just go like this and
Speaker 1: I like kind of go like twist it or something,
Speaker 1: or I just like blow them with my Oh, I
Speaker 1: guess if they're laying down, get in your mouth and everything.
Speaker 1: I just like, oh, if you're yeah, yeah, if I'm
Speaker 1: on big back, your hair will get in your own mouth.
Speaker 1: And yeah. I mean I I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: really think about it. I never like put it back,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I'm trying to think of deal breakers.
Speaker 1: I have Jesus Christ. That's a hard one because you
Speaker 1: don't even know it till you see it. But I
Speaker 1: think that, oh, not liking Veep, like being like it's
Speaker 1: watching Veep or thirty Rock and being like, no, it's
Speaker 1: just like yet to ease their own, but your own,
Speaker 1: you're you have a bad own. I mean. On the
Speaker 1: same thing, if you love like Law and Order or
Speaker 1: c S. I I probably Oh my god, this one.
Speaker 1: Oh really that's every girl, dude, What the fun? Oh
Speaker 1: my god. I'm just saying like, if you probably love
Speaker 1: those shows, you probably don't love Veep. No, that's not true.
Speaker 1: People love those diagram people that love like people love
Speaker 1: the smartest people love Law and Order. Oh yeah, like
Speaker 1: most maybe I haven't given it. John Malaney has been
Speaker 1: about law and order. Try law and order. You would
Speaker 1: be obsessed with it, dude. I mean I don't like
Speaker 1: it because I just don't. I don't really care. I
Speaker 1: just have never gotten into it. But people are. I
Speaker 1: love it. This one was a great one on Reddit.
Speaker 1: It's from cringe Topia. The subreddit cringe Topia is just
Speaker 1: cringe e things and this is a TikTok. The girl says,
Speaker 1: this dude at the bar trying to pick up my
Speaker 1: friend with his Wells Fargo account, so he pulled up
Speaker 1: his app to show his bank account. I'll look at this. Really,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you just lost your life eighty six. He
Speaker 1: repeats it to where he goes She's just like no,
Speaker 1: and he goes, well, you just lost in life, like
Speaker 1: not even like fuck you money, Like I love that.
Speaker 1: That's like and you know that someone in his life
Speaker 1: just died and he got that and took it to
Speaker 1: like this wasn't just earned throughout hard work. This guy
Speaker 1: just because he's just so excited to have that. That
Speaker 1: is so I just I love it so much. There
Speaker 1: was something about having to go to a t M
Speaker 1: all the time, like only like ten years ago, you'd
Speaker 1: always see what's in your banking every day you're reminded
Speaker 1: of whether you're rich or poor, you know, like every
Speaker 1: day you look down on that piece of paper and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, and then I saw like my Oh.
Speaker 1: I would always say, no, I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1: I never because of recycling or just because because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to see it. I mean, even now, if
Speaker 1: I have money, I don't. I used the only time
Speaker 1: I was able to look at my bank account ever,
Speaker 1: when I was super broke, and even now but I
Speaker 1: don't drink anymore, was when I was drunk. I would
Speaker 1: sometimes go in and go, Okay, you can see it.
Speaker 1: I was so scared of that number. Yeah, did you
Speaker 1: haven't looked at it? There's something about the tangible nous
Speaker 1: of it is be like, oh, yeah, that's money, like
Speaker 1: because money, you know, when you feel actual cash, which
Speaker 1: we never do anymore. Yeah, but that number. Yeah, Sometimes
Speaker 1: I see the number and I go, you know, because
Speaker 1: I so rarely look at it. Sometimes it really disappoints
Speaker 1: me because it's I thought it was higher or and
Speaker 1: sometimes I just don't know that there's other accounts that
Speaker 1: have stuff in it, like there, I will say, there
Speaker 1: are people that know what my money is, and those
Speaker 1: people are making sure that it's not stolen from me.
Speaker 1: But man, if those people were in my life, wouldn't
Speaker 1: wouldn't notice what I would never notice. It's really, um
Speaker 1: it's a problem. It's like, you know that's something that
Speaker 1: rich people get money stolen from them. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: And then there are other people that are like very
Speaker 1: they know every I but like your brother, even though
Speaker 1: he has a lot of money, but he knows where
Speaker 1: all of it is and how much it is, Like
Speaker 1: I bet he's fastidious about it, whereas I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to know if I have it or don't. Like.
Speaker 1: I just it stresses me out if I do it
Speaker 1: stressed to me out. If I don't, it's I really
Speaker 1: got to work on it. It's not good. It's a
Speaker 1: weird thing that we put so much emotion on a
Speaker 1: number you know or like. And I'm so much I
Speaker 1: love spending. I like, I like spending on money on
Speaker 1: people better than myself. Like I'll buy myself cheap stuff
Speaker 1: and my like birthday gifts presents. It's always like the
Speaker 1: most expensive brand. Because I want people in my life
Speaker 1: to have the best of the thing. But I always
Speaker 1: get like, you don't want that. What makes you think
Speaker 1: they want that? Because because people do want the best thing,
Speaker 1: I just want ten more. No, you like you would
Speaker 1: would you rather me get you a Haynes sweatshirt or
Speaker 1: a you know, Buck Mason. To be honest, where I'm
Speaker 1: at right now, mentally give me four Haynes over to No. No, no,
Speaker 1: it's either it's not the same amount of money. I'm
Speaker 1: either spending a lot of money or not. I think
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the I'm not even kidding, I think
Speaker 1: at this point alright. Well, message received forty second birthday
Speaker 1: Tesla key Chain. Okay, guys, thank you so much for
