Speaker 1: of my appointments lately. Good bye, doctor dentist. Got a
Speaker 1: filling yesterday, getting my invisilne dio. You know, wait, they
Speaker 1: haven't even getting gotten back to me about my tests.
Speaker 1: It probably means I have it all right, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: just don't how to tell you. Yeah, they're they're just
Speaker 1: having in company meetings about like, Okay, how do we
Speaker 1: break this to her? She's very emotionally fragile right now?
Speaker 1: Should we wait till her special comes out? You know?
Speaker 1: Max is tracking it? Oh Max, see I forgot about Max.
Speaker 1: Oh he'll he'll enjoy that. He'll enjoy it a lot.
Speaker 1: That's my special does come out? Yeah what because you
Speaker 1: guys dropped that as like a fashion egg the other
Speaker 1: day and I was like Max, but now, yeah, I
Speaker 1: forgot about it too. That's a good pool and good mom.
Speaker 1: What happened ner eye. No, it's from me trying to
Speaker 1: rip out of contact out of my eye last night.
Speaker 1: It was like not coming out. So I just like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you just gotta like grab your eye
Speaker 1: kind of wears out there, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: But it just I couldn't find where it was, and
Speaker 1: I just all I needed to do was put solution
Speaker 1: in my eyes and then rub the top like you
Speaker 1: kind of pinch the top of your eyelid and you
Speaker 1: move it down. But instead I just went in with
Speaker 1: like dry eye, just trying to grab it because I
Speaker 1: was just in a bad mood yesterday, and um, I've
Speaker 1: been in a bad mood my whole life recently. I
Speaker 1: think like it's just permeates my being recently. And I
Speaker 1: just was ripping it out and um, and then I
Speaker 1: just looked in the look it looked in the mirror,
Speaker 1: and it find me of Amy Sheen where used to
Speaker 1: have a joke about when she she tried to be
Speaker 1: believe once and she like blew a blood vessel in
Speaker 1: her eye because that happens when you throw up too
Speaker 1: much your eyes pop, And she said, I just looked
Speaker 1: like an oracle. So I looked at the beer today,
Speaker 1: I was like, predict the future. Thin. Remember that woman
Speaker 1: in that movie Stephen King movie Thin? Nah? And she
Speaker 1: like brushes her like old Cragley witch hand over his face.
Speaker 1: She was nah. And then this fat guy just starts
Speaker 1: losing weight. And then it's funny when like when when
Speaker 1: we're afraid of like an old scary or a young scary,
Speaker 1: it's like I could beat the ship out of an
Speaker 1: old lady or a young kid an oracle with like
Speaker 1: superpower if she didn't get to made him start losing
Speaker 1: weight until he wouldn't live anymore. So first it was great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, is that what happened in the movie for
Speaker 1: a little while almost he's getting a blowjob from his
Speaker 1: wife and he's on the way home and he's a
Speaker 1: fat guy that can't lose weight. Yeah, and he um.
Speaker 1: And that's the scene where Kerson and I as kids
Speaker 1: used to like rewind it over and over because as
Speaker 1: he's getting head in the car, there's the sound that
Speaker 1: we thought was like a stretchy sound, like a rubber
Speaker 1: band going like like and we thought penises like had
Speaker 1: a stretchy sound then, so we would rewind it over
Speaker 1: and over on VHS blackbuster, Um and go back because
Speaker 1: we were like we swore we here to go. Maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean I think I waited sound. It was just
Speaker 1: a sound effect that was maybe like a zipper or
Speaker 1: like a part of his pants or something. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: So then she's getting it's his wife, I think, giving
Speaker 1: a blow jup. And then he, uh, maybe her mouth
Speaker 1: is stretching, and then he that's an old woman that's
Speaker 1: crossing the road or almost hits her. And then he
Speaker 1: gets out of the car and he goes up to
Speaker 1: her and then she like gets up and goes nah,
Speaker 1: and she like curses him. And then he starts losing
Speaker 1: weight no matter what he can eat and everything, and
Speaker 1: he's just losing weight, and he's like loving life. And
Speaker 1: I think he's like to be like I don't remember
Speaker 1: what happens in the film, but he's like loving life.
Speaker 1: And then it just won't stop. And then he gets
Speaker 1: he gets starts getting scary and he realized he was cursed.
Speaker 1: He has to find the witch and stuff. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like my my laugher for higher movie. Remember I
Speaker 1: told you about the movie I wrote, But the guy
Speaker 1: kept getting fatter. It was the opposite. Wait, what happens?
Speaker 1: Is there an oracle? Is there? Super? You would think
Speaker 1: there'd be some kind of crazy like what's really happening?
Speaker 1: But no, his buddy's just feeding them at nighttime, so
Speaker 1: in his sleep. Yeah, and he just keeps getting fatter,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't know why because he's asleep. How did
Speaker 1: you come up with that? And is that a b blott?
Speaker 1: Is that a b plot to the left? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's throughout the whole thing. Did you when you wrote
Speaker 1: this movie? Were you like no, were you know about
Speaker 1: a plots? Be plots? Yes? Because I saw I Sid Fields,
Speaker 1: I got his DVD, so you like tried to learn
Speaker 1: how to write one? Really? Yeah? And I wrote it
Speaker 1: in like three weeks. Was there a course to like
Speaker 1: teach you how to write one in three weeks or
Speaker 1: was it just something you Oh no, it wasn't like
Speaker 1: six minute apps. It was just it was just sid
Speaker 1: Fields DVD and it just you block everything, you know,
Speaker 1: like in three acts and this is how many scenes
Speaker 1: are in each act, dude, the second act. If you
Speaker 1: ever try to write a movie, I know you've wrinned show.
Speaker 1: Have you wrote a movie? It's fucking impossible to fill
Speaker 1: those pages like it's really you just start putting things
Speaker 1: in there. Well, I've been watching a lot of um,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm. I've been watching a lot of Albert Brooks
Speaker 1: movies recently the best. I've never really seen his movies.
Speaker 1: So I got asked to participate in this thing about
Speaker 1: Albert Brooks. I don't want to give too much away,
Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes you get asked to comment on
Speaker 1: like I asked god as be interviewed for about George
Speaker 1: Carlin for The New York Times, and then I got
Speaker 1: asked about Albert Brooks. And when you get these asks,
Speaker 1: I go, well, I'm not a huge George Carlin fan.
Speaker 1: Obviously I know about him, but it's my knowledge is
Speaker 1: not extensive. And then a lot of times people with
Speaker 1: other comedians would be like the same. With Albert Brooks.
Speaker 1: I've known him from Curb. I know him as like
Speaker 1: a voice and uh that Fish movie. I know him
Speaker 1: as UM, I know him from other things, but I
Speaker 1: don't know, I've never seen a single one of those movies.
Speaker 1: I think I saw um, the Defending Your Life when
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, in first grade or something.
Speaker 1: So yes, so I've watched so anyway, I got asked
Speaker 1: to do this thing, and I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times comedians that if you don't know the subject matter,
Speaker 1: you should not do an interview about the person. But
Speaker 1: I take it as an opportunity to go, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: so I'm not an Albert Brooks fan because I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's just because I don't. Maybe I would be,
Speaker 1: and maybe I actually am really good at speaking about
Speaker 1: things I love, So why don't I just immerse myself
Speaker 1: in it, take a crash course, watch everything, and I
Speaker 1: might have a better appreciation and more to say about
Speaker 1: Albert Brooks than someone who might have been like, oh,
Speaker 1: I grew up on his movies, Like I might have
Speaker 1: a different perspective. And I think that some people would go,
Speaker 1: you're just like pretending to be a fan, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm being honest. I don't know his work at all.
Speaker 1: And so I asked, like, Okay, you need me to
Speaker 1: speak on Albert Brooks. What's my time limit here? Like
Speaker 1: how much time do I have? Do I have to
Speaker 1: do this over a weekend. I'm probably not going to
Speaker 1: be able to talk educatedly about him or emotionally about
Speaker 1: him over a weekend, but I have like until mid July,
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, oh, I can easily consume everything,
Speaker 1: and I am I am, I will say after seeing
Speaker 1: Modern Romance, Defending Your Life, um, the the The Muse,
Speaker 1: and then last night I watched half of Lost in America.
Speaker 1: I am pretty fucking well versed. And I've watched a
Speaker 1: lot of Johnny Carson clips and a lot I mean too,
Speaker 1: but it feels like a lot sometimes because it's just
Speaker 1: like comedy was different back then. Movies were different, watching
Speaker 1: an hour but less happening, just things taking their time,
Speaker 1: him in a bathroom like in Modern Romance if you
Speaker 1: watch that movie, and honestly, with all of his movies,
Speaker 1: there is aside from The Muse, I think that had
Speaker 1: more like you know, I don't, I don't know how
Speaker 1: to describe it, but there's just there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of like they're going to move voyeurism, that's lost in
Speaker 1: That's Lost in America, where they're they're driving across the country.
Speaker 1: I watched all those movies again, Yeah, yeah, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of albums. It's the first first album you
Speaker 1: ever heard, you're you become a huge fan. You don't
Speaker 1: need to know fucking every single Beatles album. This is
Speaker 1: a better way to become a fan. Like I became
Speaker 1: a huge fan of George Carlin because I got asked
Speaker 1: to do that thing, and I was like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna talk to the New York Times about George
Speaker 1: Carlin until I know what I'm talking about. But I
Speaker 1: think there is some merit in a person talking about
Speaker 1: an artist that just got into them, as opposed to like,
Speaker 1: you can't be in a documentary about Sandling if you yeah,
Speaker 1: unless you've you've been. I've I've been watching himself. I
Speaker 1: was Sanders Show fan. You know, I was in ninth grade.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well I'm one now. And actually I
Speaker 1: probably have a better memory of it than you do,
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna binge the whole series, whereas because
Speaker 1: you go off of your memory from ninth grade, whereas
Speaker 1: I have a fresh perspective. So you were an original fan.
Speaker 1: You didn't like King Joleon the first two albums, You
Speaker 1: just like after Sex on Fire, Fuck Imposer, and then
Speaker 1: they get mad at the actual band for putting I
Speaker 1: think I hope more people ask me to be in
Speaker 1: their documentaries or journalists. So I so I am forced
Speaker 1: to do these things that listen. When I have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to go watch a movie, I don't want to
Speaker 1: watch a movie from the eighties as much as I
Speaker 1: want to watch the new movie that everyone's talking about.
Speaker 1: Like I, my time is best spent. My time is
Speaker 1: best spent as an entertainer, I think, and someone who
Speaker 1: does does a podcast every day and who needs to
Speaker 1: have like topical things to talk about. Watching something topical,
Speaker 1: even if it's shittier, if it's Rotten tomatoes, but everyone's
Speaker 1: talking about it. It's better for me to watch that
Speaker 1: Marvel movie than Modern Romance, which, yes, everyone's seen, but
Speaker 1: that's not really But now I realize it is better
Speaker 1: for me to watch those films, not for you know,
Speaker 1: for the long run, because I'm really inspired by his way,
Speaker 1: his approach to filmmaking, and how simple it is, and
Speaker 1: how he is the same character in every one of
Speaker 1: his movies. He's like this neurotic guy who uh, you know,
Speaker 1: picks apart like the nuances of life, kind of in
Speaker 1: a Larry David sort of way. Kind feel he seems.
Speaker 1: It's just I just can't believe how much of nothing
Speaker 1: can happen in Modern Romance. Nothing happened. I cannot believe people.
Speaker 1: And he was supposed to I learned this Albert Books
Speaker 1: was supposed to be Billy Crystal's role. And when Harry
Speaker 1: met Sally and he I that is my favorite movie,
Speaker 1: when Harry met Sally. I'm not kidding you. I think
Speaker 1: it might have been better with him. He is so fantastic.
Speaker 1: He is so that character already he is. I just
Speaker 1: love him so much. It does strike me as terrifying
Speaker 1: how old people looked in the eighties for what age
Speaker 1: they were. He looks in his fifties and he's thirty two.
Speaker 1: You know, like this is it's wild. What smoking and
Speaker 1: just the food they ate. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know why we all look so much better. We're gonna
Speaker 1: look sixty or do you think, yes, yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be weird if still looking. They already do look
Speaker 1: so much. And I just think you just saw Elvis.
Speaker 1: You were in an Elvis fan, you saw I loved Elvis.
Speaker 1: My I told my dad Mom last night, I wrote
Speaker 1: them and I go, hey, Elvis, I go see Elvis
Speaker 1: at the I go see it on Imax if you can.
Speaker 1: But I think it's already out of those theaters because
Speaker 1: it's just like I searched it. It's like Top Gun
Speaker 1: is still at the Imax. I'm like, Elvis came out sooner,
Speaker 1: please please, but it must not be making money as
Speaker 1: much as Top Gun still. But I think top going
Speaker 1: like pass a billion dollars or something like that. It's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: so elvish. I went to go see it for a
Speaker 1: sneak preview that Chris got me tickets to because through
Speaker 1: his radio gig, and I fucking loved it. It was
Speaker 1: the top five favorite films. It was boss like. It
Speaker 1: reminded me. I haven't seen Gatsby, um Mulan Rouge or
Speaker 1: or any of the other bos Lerman films, but Romeo
Speaker 1: Juliette is my favorite. And it freaked me out at
Speaker 1: first when I watched it in eighth grade, I was
Speaker 1: just like, what the hell? But it is. He's so
Speaker 1: freaking good. I am on board with all of his
Speaker 1: decisions as a director. To end, this movie is really long.
Speaker 1: It was two hours and forty minutes. I tried to
Speaker 1: get out and not get out of it, but I
Speaker 1: tried to, Like I wrote Chris, being like, this is long,
Speaker 1: like two hours and forty minutes running time. I have
Speaker 1: a we have to be up at five am the
Speaker 1: next day, like this movie is at seven, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna end til ten, Like just too long for move.
Speaker 1: That's why I love Albert Brooks films, every single one
Speaker 1: of them, one hour, thirty one minutes, every single one
Speaker 1: of them brilliant, like we don't need more than that.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you Elvis did not look at my
Speaker 1: phone until the two hour and five minute mark to
Speaker 1: be like, oh where are we at? And that is
Speaker 1: astonishing for me. I watch a two minute YouTube clip
Speaker 1: and I am constantly checking how much more I have
Speaker 1: to go on it. I need to see the little tally.
Speaker 1: I can't stand Instagram reels because they don't give you
Speaker 1: a toggle to like go to the end. There's something
Speaker 1: so just I can't stand on TikTok when you can't
Speaker 1: search and like scooted ahead. I know you can if
Speaker 1: you don't know if it's longer than a minute, but
Speaker 1: even a minute I need to be then you also
Speaker 1: miss it sometimes and then you go too far or
Speaker 1: you started definitely very tiny. Um iPhone I message, get
Speaker 1: your fucking ship together. When you record a voice memo
Speaker 1: on iPhone, I message talk about no toggling. I'm listening
Speaker 1: to a three minute message from a friend. If you
Speaker 1: if another text comes up or god forbid, you cant
Speaker 1: alert on another screen and you gotta start from the beginning.
Speaker 1: That's he And also they don't have fast forward. They
Speaker 1: don't let it. You do to one point five times
Speaker 1: of speed. Not you can't do two times of speed.
Speaker 1: You have to just wait and listen to your friend
Speaker 1: talk again, which I love to do. But What's App
Speaker 1: is so superior. It's almost like their truck. I think
Speaker 1: they have money and What's App because why would your
Speaker 1: thing be so bad that you would that would be
Speaker 1: the only thing to do if they don't get it together, Please,
Speaker 1: someone explain to me why you think Apple wouldn't do
Speaker 1: this literally simplest thing. It cannot they can afford to
Speaker 1: have this kind of Can you go to the source
Speaker 1: and say, hey, shorter message next time? No, I mean
Speaker 1: that's what I do with all my friends on my message.
Speaker 1: We all do we send them in one minute chunks.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to do that. Oh, I do five
Speaker 1: minute ones with my friends like we are doing podcasts
Speaker 1: all day. I don't know a thing. It's yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't talgle it. I'm not sitting through. I know it's terrible.
Speaker 1: That's how much I love my friends, but um yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing all day long. Is it'd be
Speaker 1: funny if I was your friend and I leave you
Speaker 1: a for a minute, no tug, and then in the
Speaker 1: middle of it be like I sucked my own dick.
Speaker 1: I sucked my own dick. I go through the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I hate when I've left twenty seconds without so what
Speaker 1: happened in the middle there? You know I would listen.
Speaker 1: This is the problem. I message that I will listen
Speaker 1: to the whole thing, because I just feel like if
Speaker 1: someone gives you the effort of writing a voice of memo,
Speaker 1: I have to get through it. But I message, get
Speaker 1: your ship together. But Elvis, anyway, it was so moving,
Speaker 1: so good. My dad I wrote to them last night
Speaker 1: ago it's on me. I'm gonna take If you guys
Speaker 1: want to go see Elvis, let's go anytime you want.
Speaker 1: And my dad wrote, buck, let me just see what
Speaker 1: you wrote doing the show in Memphis. We gotta go
Speaker 1: to Graceland. I've been to Graceland, but I would go again. Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: So here this is what I said. So how did
Speaker 1: Elphs not poop for a month and a half because
Speaker 1: because opio thinks about this opioid, So he just didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it just it just packs in your system. I
Speaker 1: mean food. When you take the moisture out of food, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you think like, oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: ate all of that. How could that possibly be in
Speaker 1: my stomach that can pact? So No, when you when
Speaker 1: poop becomes, it's broken down by acid in your stomach,
Speaker 1: so it becomes, it gets dissolved a little bit, and
Speaker 1: it dehydrates. So when you eat a huge like months
Speaker 1: and months of food, it's not like this spread that
Speaker 1: you put down in your stomach. It's it's got done.
Speaker 1: And that's why people, if you do hear about opioid schits,
Speaker 1: they're like botchy balls coming out of it, like just hard.
Speaker 1: Like really I'm trying to think about like a heavy ball,
Speaker 1: but like just yeah, like but a tiny eer bowling
Speaker 1: ball coming out of your ass. Yeah. Croquet croquette, I
Speaker 1: think it's croque. Okay, So I wrote to my dad
Speaker 1: and mom I would go to see Elvis with you
Speaker 1: guys if you wanted. My dad says, too bad. We're
Speaker 1: at the river. Had to move the boat for the brands.
Speaker 1: Whatever that means. He said. I read in the New
Speaker 1: York Times that it totally sucked. They said it was
Speaker 1: more like a vampire movie. And I said, it's one
Speaker 1: of my top five favorite films, no joke. And my
Speaker 1: mom wrote, oh wow, then we'll have to see it. Um.
Speaker 1: And then she goes, uh oh. And then she asked
Speaker 1: me if I wanted to go to the baseball game tonight? Um?
Speaker 1: And I was like what? And my mom is, my
Speaker 1: mom is organized all of my family to the baseball
Speaker 1: game tonight because because of why. Um, here's what I said.
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, tomorrow might work. Can you just get
Speaker 1: me a ticket and Chris one too? If I if
Speaker 1: we can't go, I'll pay for them. And she goes, okay,
Speaker 1: Matt is buying ours. I'll ask him five dollar ticket night, baby.
Speaker 1: So it's because there's a bargain. I knew there was
Speaker 1: something behind it. Why would my mom want us all
Speaker 1: to go to the ball game. It's because I got
Speaker 1: five dollar tickets. We're saving it. Then we gotta go.
Speaker 1: Even though she doesn't realize, like I could get us
Speaker 1: free tickets with the simplest email. Yeah, but you know what,
Speaker 1: it makes you feel good to sit up in the nosebleeds.
Speaker 1: She's not even buying it. I mean you find on
Speaker 1: that and he's, well, then NAT bought them and textas that.
Speaker 1: My mom goes, I'm paying you back, and he's like,
Speaker 1: don't make me get into a fight about this, Like
Speaker 1: stop this. My mom is going considering going to Mexico
Speaker 1: to save two thousand dollars on getting her tooth removed,
Speaker 1: because in St. Louis it would be five thousand. In
Speaker 1: New Mexico it's three thousand. So she's going to the
Speaker 1: beach And I said to her, playing a vacation around. No,
Speaker 1: she's not. It's not a vacation. They're going to someone
Speaker 1: that's not even fun. And my mom doesn't want to go,
Speaker 1: but my dad is like, Julie, she can do it.
Speaker 1: It's fine Mexican. Their friend went to someone. It's a
Speaker 1: common thing to go to Mexico for surgery. You know, No,
Speaker 1: I know you go to Turkey for hair transplants. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear about Mexico for teeth. Why do you know
Speaker 1: about Turkey? Are you thinking about going I just like turkey.
Speaker 1: No you don't, yeah, but you sleep. It does sometimes.
Speaker 1: I got to go to bed. Let's go to break
Speaker 1: and talk more about this when we get back. Violent. No, No,
Speaker 1: this is could be well if you paying attention, put
Speaker 1: it together. Guys, what's it gonna be? We know what
Speaker 1: you're doing. I'm not advocate. No, no, I mean give
Speaker 1: it to me for a couple of days, for three weeks,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be very about Listen, I've heard that
Speaker 1: in Mexico you can't get good stuff done, and it's
Speaker 1: stated the line which is what phrase that my sister
Speaker 1: came up with in sixth grade, she was doing a
Speaker 1: fake commercial for her like a book report, and it
Speaker 1: was about like they had to do like a TV
Speaker 1: show or something, you know when kids have an assignment
Speaker 1: like read this book and make it make commercials about what.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but she was selling dog sleds and
Speaker 1: it was it was where she read White Fang in
Speaker 1: sixth grade and her and her friend were like making
Speaker 1: this video presentation that they were going to show on Monday.
Speaker 1: And my sister is selling dog sleds and she goes
Speaker 1: stayed in the land dogs leads only Nona, and we
Speaker 1: were like, what the state of the line and we
Speaker 1: really just coldbine state of the art and top of
Speaker 1: the line dogs les it could. Yeah, it's great. So
Speaker 1: state of the line dentistry is to be had, and like,
Speaker 1: it's not you're just going to Mexico and you're going
Speaker 1: in a yurt and they're just sawing off your fucking
Speaker 1: rusty blade. It's it's a real it's a good thing
Speaker 1: to do. My point is, Mom, let me give you
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars because I'm not trying to brag. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's really nice of you, but a donkey and
Speaker 1: a rope a burrow um. But I told her, I
Speaker 1: was like, can you just can I just pay for
Speaker 1: this to not so you don't have to go to
Speaker 1: Mexico for surgery. I just I know that it would
Speaker 1: be if they built a trip around it. Fine, but
Speaker 1: my mom doesn't want to go. She's like, your dad
Speaker 1: thinks I should do it. I don't know. Do you
Speaker 1: think she would have to wait until January to go
Speaker 1: because they don't have to I'm in their schedule. Otherwise
Speaker 1: she could just go and St. Louis and have her
Speaker 1: rotting tea taken up tomorrow for extra But but my
Speaker 1: Dad's like, she can wait, and I'm just like and
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I don't care if she can
Speaker 1: have better, even if the procedure is the exact same
Speaker 1: as it would be in St. Louis the stress that
Speaker 1: it puts on my mom to travel abroad, to go
Speaker 1: to Mexico, to then be in a different foreign country
Speaker 1: when her tooth has been you know, there's healing that
Speaker 1: needs to happen, that people around you need to take
Speaker 1: care of you. You You need to be in a place
Speaker 1: where it's like you feel safe. And I know my
Speaker 1: mom is gonna go on price line and get a
Speaker 1: fucking shitty hotel where you know will we won't even
Speaker 1: be able to find her. It won't have running water,
Speaker 1: like I just know. My So I'm saying to my mom,
Speaker 1: let me pay two dozen dollars because on the back,
Speaker 1: this will save me money because the trauma and the
Speaker 1: stress of that Mexico trip and also putting off this
Speaker 1: tooth thing that might cause infection is going to cost
Speaker 1: me down the road more because you will die, you
Speaker 1: will be injured. I'm going to cover the medical bills
Speaker 1: when they get above two thousand dollars probably, so can
Speaker 1: I avoid some of those by not having you stress
Speaker 1: out and go to Mexico for fucking dental work just
Speaker 1: so you can. It just makes me mad. And I
Speaker 1: said to her, this is why you should let me
Speaker 1: pay two thousand dollars, because first of all, I will
Speaker 1: never I won't remember it. I know that's a lot
Speaker 1: of money to me right now, it is not a
Speaker 1: lot of money. I just to be honest, it isn't.
Speaker 1: And I'm not bragging. It just isn't. And I said
Speaker 1: to her, this is what daughters are for. This is
Speaker 1: what having a rich daughter is for like this, this
Speaker 1: is why I want to make money, is to do
Speaker 1: stuff like this. You have to let me. And she
Speaker 1: was like, and I go, I hope that if you
Speaker 1: had as much money as I had, and I have
Speaker 1: as much money as you had, and I had was
Speaker 1: going to go to Mexico to save two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: on a surgery, that you would do the same thing. No, No,
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay me back. Just give me
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. And the truth is, I don't think
Speaker 1: she would. It would be funny if she goes Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would. I would, but I love point would she take, Like,
Speaker 1: what if you offered to pay for the whole thing?
Speaker 1: I would, But she knows that she I want her
Speaker 1: to be able to pay for what she can afford.
Speaker 1: That she doesn't feel like I'm just it's a hand
Speaker 1: out because it's not. It's just it sucks. Well, why
Speaker 1: doesn't cover? Does not have dental insurance? She does, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't cover the full thing. I mean, you want
Speaker 1: to get into the healthcare of this. I mean I
Speaker 1: had a by filling yesterday Bucks. I was like so excited,
Speaker 1: thirty eight bucks. It's like, whoa, it worked. Candy, You're
Speaker 1: trying more. I love the idea of you as a kid.
Speaker 1: You were talking about it yesterday, eating candy to get
Speaker 1: to the drug. That's the only way I'm going to
Speaker 1: get like seven thou pounds when you're like, I never
Speaker 1: been happy. No teeth just rotting. Just suck it on
Speaker 1: that nitris man, I mean, nitros is what they suck
Speaker 1: out of balloons, right when people do whippets. Done it? No,
Speaker 1: but that's what it is. No, because I always heard
Speaker 1: that you could die the first time you do it something.
Speaker 1: That's why I've ever done it right. I'm afraid of dying, honey,
Speaker 1: And look how smart I am. Huh, you're afraid of
Speaker 1: I'm Did you ever hear that you could die the
Speaker 1: first time? I mean that's why I don't if I
Speaker 1: that used to be a rumor about pot the first
Speaker 1: time you do that coke like, and now that's true
Speaker 1: because the fence and all being but um, but that
Speaker 1: really cut me off drugs. The first time there was
Speaker 1: a basketball player, um fuck starts with the nail funk.
Speaker 1: I can't remember ry now he's still alive, but I
Speaker 1: think he's probably done some coke with some bud. So
Speaker 1: this guy did coke one one, that's the thing they
Speaker 1: always say the first time, and he died, Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 1: he was going to be like the best player ever,
Speaker 1: And so people talk about his story die from like
Speaker 1: overdosing on coke. He probably already had a preaky I
Speaker 1: had a bite. Died from heroin and they claimed it
Speaker 1: was the first time. I was like, you don't really
Speaker 1: do heroin the first, like, you don't shoot up heroin.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he ingested it, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was listening to I was just kind of remembering
Speaker 1: Harris Whittles, who is my friend who passed from heroin
Speaker 1: and like hearing about just reading about because he did. Ah,
Speaker 1: you made it weird with Pete Holmes episode right when
Speaker 1: he got out of rehab, like the third time, I think,
Speaker 1: and he said on that like if I do it again,
Speaker 1: I will die, Like I will definitely die. And and
Speaker 1: so I was wanting to find the transcript of it
Speaker 1: because I just wanted to like hear his story again
Speaker 1: and kind of remember it. And the thing that people
Speaker 1: just don't understand about heroin is that these people get
Speaker 1: prescribed these pills for pain, and then the pills, they
Speaker 1: become addicted to the pills and they're not like it's
Speaker 1: not because they wanted to be. They just get sucked
Speaker 1: into it. And then it becomes even for Harris Whittles,
Speaker 1: who as a producer on Parks and Rack and ep
Speaker 1: on Parks and Wreck, a writer on Parks and Wreck
Speaker 1: um very successful writing movie is so successful rich, it
Speaker 1: was draining him of money to keep up this pill habit.
Speaker 1: So then eventually, yeah, like opioids, and it was so
Speaker 1: expensive that and it starts to be you need more
Speaker 1: and more and more to get that feeling. And it's
Speaker 1: the same drug as heroin, Like it's an opioid, and
Speaker 1: so shooting up becomes just a no brainer. It's so
Speaker 1: much cheaper, so much cheaper easier to get probably in
Speaker 1: some circumstances if you're living. He used to go to
Speaker 1: skid Row to get it in l A. He drive
Speaker 1: over from his like million dollar home to skid Row
Speaker 1: and he died shooting up. But I think people just
Speaker 1: think of people that shoot up as like the dregs
Speaker 1: of society. But no one wants to put a needle
Speaker 1: in their arm and heats. It's because it becomes cost
Speaker 1: a ficial effective to do that, and it gives you
Speaker 1: a high faster. It's like, I just, Um, it was
Speaker 1: just really interesting to read again in that book Coming Alive,
Speaker 1: that we're all kind of sort of reading UM. The
Speaker 1: offense to every Night there said something very interesting. He said, Um,
Speaker 1: addiction is when you feel. Um is when a person
Speaker 1: chases this feeling that they got once and they're just
Speaker 1: constantly chasing it but never achieving it again. Yes, I
Speaker 1: read that actually yesterday. And something else that addiction is feel.
Speaker 1: It was it was chasing feeling good, but feeling worse chasing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that addiction is defined that that you use a
Speaker 1: thing too because you want to feel good, but it
Speaker 1: just makes you feel worse. And and the thing is
Speaker 1: you would go, well, then why would you keep doing
Speaker 1: that if it makes you feel worse? And it's like
Speaker 1: because constantly chasing that good because there is a chance
Speaker 1: to do enough to get that feeling of there. And
Speaker 1: I want to say that I don't really relate to
Speaker 1: all of that because for me, addiction it does feel good,
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel you feel worse on the back end,
Speaker 1: but at first you do feel better. I'm sorry, Like
Speaker 1: I do feel if I shot up heroin right now,
Speaker 1: I would feel fucking great. I really would first time. No,
Speaker 1: but even people that I've watched Intervention the other night
Speaker 1: and this woman that was shooting up heroin are smoking
Speaker 1: crack every single time, you'd be like, so, it does
Speaker 1: feel good. I think people just think that it's all
Speaker 1: just like hell after you're addicted. People that don't understand
Speaker 1: addiction just don't seem to like grasp why someone is.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how people can be mad at
Speaker 1: drug addicts or kind of confused by them with I
Speaker 1: know that you might not be a drug addict, but
Speaker 1: you can look at someone on the sidewalk, like, how
Speaker 1: can they be passed out in their own filth, you know,
Speaker 1: dirty sandals. I was picture you know, dirty sand and
Speaker 1: just like passed out from crack or shooting up needles
Speaker 1: in their arm? How why would you do that? Who
Speaker 1: would ever want to do that? Do you think that
Speaker 1: person had a choice? Like you really think someone has
Speaker 1: a choice of whether or not to do drugs? You're
Speaker 1: such an idiot and you have no compassion, because why
Speaker 1: would you ever? No one would choose that. So much
Speaker 1: of it starts, and this happened with me. I remember
Speaker 1: I had uh like a root canal, right or like
Speaker 1: nothing that should have got more than five pain pills.
Speaker 1: The ladies the dentists gave me forty oxy codein's and
Speaker 1: then I'm like, I take like two. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going out. My tooth doesn't hurt anymore. I don't
Speaker 1: even know I have teeth. And next thing I know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm eating like five or six and then not
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just eating. I'm just taking these. I'm
Speaker 1: not drinking, so I'm just taking and the next thing
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, Okay, I'll just take them during
Speaker 1: the day just to like trying, and you see how easily.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what happens. I think people get
Speaker 1: too Oh yeah, I can't go back. What am I
Speaker 1: gonna Maybe if I hurt another tooth? Oh dude, if
Speaker 1: I had to drive thirty minutes, I do it for golf.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, that's true. I literally spend thousands of
Speaker 1: dollars on gas to just get to a driving range,
Speaker 1: to get upset, to get upset. You don't feel how much?
Speaker 1: How do you how much? Maybe this is an addiction,
Speaker 1: because do you feel? What is the percentage you leave
Speaker 1: the golf course? Because we're not talking about that being
Speaker 1: at the golf course, because you're gonna have that dopamine.
Speaker 1: I was reading all about addiction last night. Dopamine is
Speaker 1: the feeling that you get before you get the opioid.
Speaker 1: So opioids go off in your brain, when you have
Speaker 1: an orgasm, when you take the hit, when you eat
Speaker 1: a piece of pizza and you're really hungry. Dopamine is
Speaker 1: the feeling, is the chemical that is released on the
Speaker 1: way to that feeling. So there's no dopamine being released,
Speaker 1: and opioids always lead to a crash a second you you,
Speaker 1: the first bite of pizza is going to be the
Speaker 1: epitome of your enjoyment. It only ramps up to that
Speaker 1: with like I'm so hungry. Oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: ordered it, so hungry. Oh my gosh it stuff's coming
Speaker 1: out of the kitchen. Oh it's not mine yet. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Oh I can smell it. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's coming to the table. Oh my god, it's landed
Speaker 1: on the table. Oh my god. First bite, and then
Speaker 1: from then on, second bite, third bite down, then all
Speaker 1: than the opioid hits than the dopamine plummets after that.
Speaker 1: And so I'm wondering when you go to the golf course,
Speaker 1: driving there, it's exciting getting on the course, like all
Speaker 1: the opportunity, like the the excitement of like what could be,
Speaker 1: and the novelty of a new place or whatever. How
Speaker 1: often leaving a golf course do you feel great better
Speaker 1: than when you left, better than when you arrived? Be honest, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: of course I'll be honest. I I just it all.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of variables. It's one thing if you're
Speaker 1: just well, if we're going by, but there's a difference.
Speaker 1: And if I go to a range right that I've
Speaker 1: never been to and everything's new, Okay, No, I'm saying
Speaker 1: that most time I'm going to a range, so I'm
Speaker 1: not going to feel if it's a new rain. Anything
Speaker 1: new feels good. A new golf course, but even an
Speaker 1: old one you're going and you're excited, appreciates the happiness.
Speaker 1: Depreciate because you keep playing the same hole and it's
Speaker 1: you could play. Even if you play better, it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel as good. Okay. So if we're going by, I
Speaker 1: just new courses first time, all of those, the how
Speaker 1: you feel going in? How often are you leaving them
Speaker 1: feeling as good or better than when you came in?
Speaker 1: I mean, again, it depends how I play, I mean,
Speaker 1: but let's just say how often I would say, so
Speaker 1: when I shot the seventy six, I felt fantastic. How
Speaker 1: often does that a new course? Probably once every like
Speaker 1: seven times I play? Okay, let's maybe actually maybe one
Speaker 1: every twenty. But but I practice more than I play, right,
Speaker 1: you understand, So if practice the the end. So when
Speaker 1: you first start practicing golf again, it feels good every
Speaker 1: time you go to the range because you fucking you're
Speaker 1: learning something new skill, you're hitting the ball in extra
Speaker 1: twenty yards, you're hitting it straighter. But now I'm at
Speaker 1: the point where literally I'm so consistent that you don't
Speaker 1: see a big wins. Well that's how I feel about
Speaker 1: stand up. But the big wins you see though, when
Speaker 1: you fucking have the special and you fucking realize that
Speaker 1: word don't feel it. But but I'm just saying I'm
Speaker 1: trying to compare it. So like when if I take
Speaker 1: my shirt off on stage and I do something new,
Speaker 1: that's when I field. That's when I go, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that was amazing, like what the fund just happened? And
Speaker 1: I leave the stage feeling the same way I felt
Speaker 1: after the first time I did stand up, Like if
Speaker 1: I bring a new element to it, or if I
Speaker 1: play music on stage instead of doing stand up, like
Speaker 1: but doing stand up, I just cannot get that dope.
Speaker 1: It will never hit the way it did the first
Speaker 1: time ever again. And maybe that makes people just want
Speaker 1: to come to me. That's what mean what I was
Speaker 1: referring to, Like that feeling, just like addicts constantly chase it,
Speaker 1: and you know it leads to overdosing and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. You're chasing the dret You're chasing
Speaker 1: that initial feeling that was like, oh my god. But
Speaker 1: did it feel good to do like the Drake stuff
Speaker 1: the other night, or like doing new stuff like that.
Speaker 1: That's that's fun and that gives me a thrillers. Like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a negative thing. I think that
Speaker 1: anything like the thing about the first day on a
Speaker 1: new job that you or when you get a job,
Speaker 1: like people forget sometimes addicted to gambling because I won
Speaker 1: the first time I played. Yes, And then I want
Speaker 1: to about a PlayStation. I bought a couch, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is going to keep happening. Think about any times
Speaker 1: you've gotten a call for like a gig or a job,
Speaker 1: or you get a job that you know interview for
Speaker 1: and you work, or you get accepted to some kind
Speaker 1: of program in school and you like you celebrate with
Speaker 1: your family, your family literally like we'll take you out
Speaker 1: to dinner to celebrate, and then the job it's and
Speaker 1: it's the it's the source of all of your misery
Speaker 1: and this thing that you wanted to remember. Sat down
Speaker 1: with my dad one time and he's like, it wasn't
Speaker 1: about stand up, was about like copyrighting. He's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a job is just gonna any job is gonna just
Speaker 1: feel like a job eventually. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's so that's sad. Though, Yeah, that's fucking sad, but
Speaker 1: it's true. But it's sad, it's but that's life. I mean, anyone,
Speaker 1: anyone you date that you're so excited about, you're never
Speaker 1: going to have that initial like uh, limerence, which is
Speaker 1: what it's called when you are just like so in
Speaker 1: love with each other and just like everything you do
Speaker 1: is adorable. You will never get that back ever with
Speaker 1: that person. And you can tell me, oh, no, we
Speaker 1: did well, maybe did you have an amnesia or did
Speaker 1: the person have like like you might get it back
Speaker 1: if there was like a near death thing and you
Speaker 1: have like oh, or you break up and you reunite,
Speaker 1: but you will never have that initial thing again. And
Speaker 1: that is what I struggle with in relationships, is that
Speaker 1: you will never have that first high, which is literally
Speaker 1: the best part of falling in love. And I know
Speaker 1: people go, no, it's the deep love that the support
Speaker 1: you get, the probably do feel it. I get it,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what that is, but that's what
Speaker 1: you don't. But it is a thing that I think.
Speaker 1: It's an excuse people give for like giving up something
Speaker 1: that they actually do want. Um. But maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the news. It's the same
Speaker 1: thing as when people go, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Sorry, and maybe I'm wrong here, But when
Speaker 1: women age and they go, I actually like being older more.
Speaker 1: It's like, do you if you could snap your fingers,
Speaker 1: would you not want to have tighter, younger skin. Of
Speaker 1: course you would, or maybe not. Maybe they're maybe like
Speaker 1: the freedom of being invisible to the world now. But
Speaker 1: I just think that we convince ourselves we like our situation,
Speaker 1: which is good. We should because you can't go back
Speaker 1: in time. You can't get that limber inspect so you
Speaker 1: have to accept it. But I think that I'm how
Speaker 1: happy were you when your body was tight? That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like there's always that I understand that, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying when people go, you know, it's actually
Speaker 1: my life is I'm glad that that happened. Like I'm glad,
Speaker 1: And I'm someone who always says like everything happens for
Speaker 1: a reason. But am I Some people go, you know what,
Speaker 1: that car accident? I really needed to wake up. And
Speaker 1: it's like, would in another way have been cool too?
Speaker 1: Did you really love that? But I feel have a
Speaker 1: great like news story please, which kind of has to
Speaker 1: do with this, which is very funny. But yesterday Anya
Speaker 1: texted us about I don't know you you have texted
Speaker 1: Anya and I about oxytocin. And then I went, like,
Speaker 1: I started googling and stuff, and I found this article
Speaker 1: that I think you're gonna love. It's a little bit
Speaker 1: old news, but it's new to me. So as long
Speaker 1: as it's real news and not fake Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's based on a real study. So while
Speaker 1: studying cheating, scientists are surprised to discover how oxytocin appears
Speaker 1: to boost men's attraction to their mate, even when presented
Speaker 1: with pictures of other women. M hmm, okay, so it's
Speaker 1: explain this, okay, So, um, you want to hear a
Speaker 1: little bit about what they were doing in the study,
Speaker 1: or what I'm cleaning from this is that they took
Speaker 1: men who were in relationships, and when they tested the
Speaker 1: men with higher levels of oxytocin when asked about how
Speaker 1: much they love the person there with. That love was
Speaker 1: substantially more um when shown pictures of other women even
Speaker 1: and it's not about whether women like other women's pictures
Speaker 1: make them love their women more. Okay, Under the influence
Speaker 1: of oxytocin, two areas of the brain responsible feelings of
Speaker 1: reward and pleasure lit up when men saw their partners faces,
Speaker 1: but the sight of other women had the opposite effects,
Speaker 1: suppressing feelings of pleasure. Oh. Interesting is that no connected?
Speaker 1: So anagamous love as time goes on and couples become
Speaker 1: less intimate. Uh, The scientists whatever uh said that linkage
Speaker 1: can decay because of that, but activities that release oxytocin,
Speaker 1: such as really looking into another person's eyes, holding hands, kissing,
Speaker 1: and having sex may help restore the connection. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it sounds like um. Oxytocin is released when you do
Speaker 1: loving safe uh, intimate things. And so if you and
Speaker 1: when you have a lot of oxytocin going off in
Speaker 1: your brain that comes from those things, that you will
Speaker 1: have a you won't be feel more connected and more
Speaker 1: desirable of your partner, no matter how long you've been
Speaker 1: with them. So what it tells us is that we
Speaker 1: need to keep those things up of like deep eye contact,
Speaker 1: like cuddling, touching, all those things to sustain to prevent
Speaker 1: us from being attracted to other people. Because if the
Speaker 1: actually it's hie from those things, you won't be attracted.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be only in that moment, right,
Speaker 1: we're not sustained. You so has like a you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've done this with Chris or whatever, where
Speaker 1: I'll go maybe a few weeks without you do take
Speaker 1: your partner for granted, for like how gorgeous they are,
Speaker 1: like how how much they make you feel happy, Like
Speaker 1: you don't take it in, Like a lot of times
Speaker 1: I don't take it in. And at times I'll just
Speaker 1: stop and like really like like this is my person
Speaker 1: and those are like loving deep love winds because you go,
Speaker 1: you could go. I could go a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: with my A D D brain and not really like
Speaker 1: take her in, you know what I mean? So like
Speaker 1: you're almost recreating that feeling in your raine of like
Speaker 1: the first time seeing them. I don't know, it's a
Speaker 1: weird little win I I I feel I feel that, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that you I think everyone relates to that. But I
Speaker 1: think that it's distance. It's like not you're not touching
Speaker 1: them enough, You're not like stopping to actually look at them.
Speaker 1: Like all you need to do is figure out time
Speaker 1: to just stop and look where It's like I can't
Speaker 1: do that because I'm on the road for fucking fourteen
Speaker 1: days and I can't look at the person, I can't
Speaker 1: touch the person. And so I always find my relationship
Speaker 1: HiT's like really rocky territory whenever I've been gone too long,
Speaker 1: because there's not that there's not handholding, there's not touching,
Speaker 1: there's not eye contact, there's not all those things, and
Speaker 1: it's like it's like first because we're usually broken by
Speaker 1: the end of it, and so we when we see
Speaker 1: each other it's you know, in the waiting room of
Speaker 1: our our couple's counselor, and it's like awkward because at
Speaker 1: the end of a trip along trip like it's it's
Speaker 1: gone from being like, oh I miss you, so watch
Speaker 1: very good and at the end of fourteen day trip
Speaker 1: you're coming out of it and you're used, there's some
Speaker 1: conflict that hasn't been appropriately addressed on both sides, and
Speaker 1: then it's just it's fraid because you you don't even
Speaker 1: you can't even picture the person, you can't smell the person,
Speaker 1: you can't So it's just like I don't even care
Speaker 1: about working it out with this person because I'm not
Speaker 1: connected to them in any way. They're literally a stranger
Speaker 1: to me because their body chemistry is so the other night,
Speaker 1: I like had Chris's shirt and I was just smelling
Speaker 1: it because I haven't seen him forever. So I was
Speaker 1: just trying to remember, like get those oxytocin and chemicals
Speaker 1: so that my brain would remember I love this person,
Speaker 1: I'm connected to this person, like I would do anything
Speaker 1: to work out at a difference with this person. And
Speaker 1: I think that that's when like little arguments can just
Speaker 1: turn into like, well then we shouldn't be together because
Speaker 1: you forget how bonded you are because you don't have that.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's good won or not good or bad.
Speaker 1: But to go from like fourteen days off and then
Speaker 1: the first time is couples counts like it seems like
Speaker 1: another not extreme, but like it's not like we planned
Speaker 1: it that way. It's like we don't have time in
Speaker 1: our lives to fit in a couple's counseling except one
Speaker 1: when we're both not working. I mean you trying to
Speaker 1: be with someone who has our work hours from four
Speaker 1: thirty am until eleven am, and then you have to
Speaker 1: work from eleven am until six pm. So it's and
Speaker 1: then that person has to go to bed because if
Speaker 1: they get up at four, So it's hard. It's really hard.
Speaker 1: I think that. But it's so true that it's touch,
Speaker 1: eye contact and love making that that make you have
Speaker 1: those that's the that feeling in your brain, that fuzzy
Speaker 1: feeling that makes you go like I love them, and
Speaker 1: just sharing emotionally sharing, even like someone being like I
Speaker 1: don't know. Whenever I hear my partner be like you know,
Speaker 1: like I love you and or like I it really
Speaker 1: feels good to hear that, like talking about his feelings.
Speaker 1: I am like any issue I have with our relationship
Speaker 1: literally evaporates, like it like it can be. I can
Speaker 1: be like in a swarm of mosquitoes of like things
Speaker 1: I'm annoyed at, and they will all be completely zapped
Speaker 1: and fall to the the floor dead the second he goes
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really I feel really good about what we've
Speaker 1: talked about, or like just says some feelings I don't
Speaker 1: know why it's so erotic to me, or it's so
Speaker 1: soothing to me, it's so like reassuring to me. It
Speaker 1: just makes me feel like I could put up with anything.
Speaker 1: But I know that's I mean, that's the double yed sword, though,
Speaker 1: is like is it is it a drug? Is it
Speaker 1: just an am I just like la la la la la?
Speaker 1: Like am I googly heart? At least have half the
Speaker 1: mosquitoes still around? Right? No? They go for me. It's
Speaker 1: all the mosquitoes. I am so black and white. It
Speaker 1: sucks because it's so polar. It's like a sense of
Speaker 1: um approval that whatever it was that you discussed or
Speaker 1: worked on was the right way to go. And then like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's definitely on the same page as you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's like an understanding or just like I
Speaker 1: just want someone to when I feel like my feelings
Speaker 1: have been addressed and like that I'm not crazy for
Speaker 1: my feelings and that you know, I get him to
Speaker 1: a place of understanding that I'm not trying to be mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be evasive, I'm not trying to lie.
Speaker 1: I'm just like I'm feeling anxious or I'm feeling scared,
Speaker 1: or like if he knows the root of it, which
Speaker 1: isn't this nefarious route, Because I think a lot of
Speaker 1: times in relationships, not just mine, you get into fights
Speaker 1: where someone thinks the other person is like trying to
Speaker 1: dodge or like avoid, or like trick the other person
Speaker 1: or deceive for my own well being, when really, anytime
Speaker 1: I am ever being a little bit um obtuse or
Speaker 1: like a little bit avoidance, it's because I'm doing it
Speaker 1: for not just for me. I mean it is for me,
Speaker 1: but it's because I want that person to love me.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to avoid that person hating me. And it's
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's kind of like pat Riso
Speaker 1: Neil's bit of like we cheat for you, wait for you.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying like, oh I get to lie
Speaker 1: and be to sea because I'm I'm trying to keep you.
Speaker 1: But I do feel like there's sometimes in my relationship
Speaker 1: or even in hearing my friends relationships, where I'm like,
Speaker 1: the thing he's getting mad at you about or the
Speaker 1: thing you're mad at him about, don't you realize he's
Speaker 1: only doing that because he wants to stay with you,
Speaker 1: like he's trying. Does that make any sense to you
Speaker 1: guys like they're doing that thing not to hurt you.
Speaker 1: They're doing it there like, I'm not telling you the
Speaker 1: truth about this thing because I think that if you
Speaker 1: find out, you'll hate me forever and not want to
Speaker 1: be with me. When I know the thing that I
Speaker 1: might be lying about or evading the truth about isn't
Speaker 1: really a deal breaker and shouldn't be a reason you
Speaker 1: hate me. If I'm cheating on you, yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like you should probably find that out and leave me.
Speaker 1: But if something, if I'm not telling you something that
Speaker 1: I think you'll just be so disgusted by or so
Speaker 1: just like kind of gross out by, and maybe I'm
Speaker 1: gross out about it by myself too, I'm doing it
Speaker 1: because I don't think it's something that you need to
Speaker 1: know about, and it your response, I don't trust your
Speaker 1: response because I don't trust obviously, and I might have
Speaker 1: feelings that I'm inherently unlovable, and I think that that
Speaker 1: detail might bring out your disgust with me in a
Speaker 1: way that you'll reject me. But I'm doing it because
Speaker 1: I want you to love me, and like, so if
Speaker 1: you're worried that I'm trying to get away from you
Speaker 1: or like do or hurt you. It's actually the opposite.
Speaker 1: My only concern would be if I was doing something
Speaker 1: to get someone else to love me, right, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't being true to whatever I thought I was. Then
Speaker 1: I feel like over time I'm hurting myself and has
Speaker 1: nothing to even do it. Well, that's without saying I
Speaker 1: feel like that's I mean obviously, yeah, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: saying I'm not talking about excuse the person who's lying
Speaker 1: to you or evading things and let them do that.
Speaker 1: Just start from a place of of course they shouldn't
Speaker 1: be doing this. Let's get to a place where we
Speaker 1: can totally be honest with one another and transparent and
Speaker 1: no one gets hurt. But acknowledge that the root of
Speaker 1: this is this person being scared that you'll leave them
Speaker 1: and that they'll lose you, and if you can, it's
Speaker 1: not good that they're doing it. Yes, we need to
Speaker 1: get at the we need to stop doing this. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be someone who has to, like you know,
Speaker 1: of avoid certain truths about myself. But if I do
Speaker 1: it and I get caught, know that I'm trying in
Speaker 1: my own way to figure out a way to do it.
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to keep you. It's it's my
Speaker 1: it's my weakest self, giving into my fears of abandonment.
Speaker 1: So yes, it is not a good thing to do.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be someone who is pretending to
Speaker 1: be a different version of someone so that I can
Speaker 1: keep a guy. I would love to be myself, Like
Speaker 1: that's my goal in every aspect of my life. For me,
Speaker 1: in relationships, it's really really difficult because I think I'm gross,
Speaker 1: I'm too masculine. I have really really weird anxieties that
Speaker 1: make people uh their lives feel burdened by them. I
Speaker 1: have my whole life like everything I'm scared of or
Speaker 1: everything that I'm like anxious about takes the fun out
Speaker 1: of things. For Okay, so everyone can't go and roller
Speaker 1: coaster because Nikki doesn't want to go on it. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I guess we can't go to that thing because Nicki
Speaker 1: scared of fireworks. Oh we can't do that because Nicki's
Speaker 1: scared of the highway. Now we all have to like
Speaker 1: tend to her needs and it's so annoying. It's never
Speaker 1: met with like, what's going on here, I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: you're feeling this way or that you have to you
Speaker 1: have to act this irrational way because you're in pain.
Speaker 1: It's it's never that, it's like, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to ruin our time? Why are
Speaker 1: you lying to me? It's never why wait, why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? Like? Can I understand? Like? Are you
Speaker 1: in pain? What are you avoiding? Like? Do you not
Speaker 1: think I won't love you on the other side of this,
Speaker 1: because I do love you. I want to make you
Speaker 1: feel safe. It's always just like, why did you do that?
Speaker 1: You're a bad person, You're an anxious person. You need
Speaker 1: to make everything about you. Oh, Nikki scared of air shows,
Speaker 1: so the whole family can't go to air shows. How
Speaker 1: about I'm scared of air shows, so maybe tell me
Speaker 1: some facts about air shows to make my irrational fears
Speaker 1: a little better. Why don't we go through the facts
Speaker 1: about That's like the bus incident, Yester, you know this weekend,
Speaker 1: so scared of writing in those fucking busses and I
Speaker 1: was going to cancel it, and then Kristen goes, why
Speaker 1: don't you have Jen my assistant, ask about the schedule
Speaker 1: of the busses, and like, you know, the protocol for
Speaker 1: the bus drivers and then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: was like, wait, you can do that, and it was
Speaker 1: like information sets me free, or like compassion or someone
Speaker 1: just being like, oh I have I have irrational fears
Speaker 1: about this other thing. Let's talk about it as opposed
Speaker 1: to Nikki is weird, because not only do I feel weird,
Speaker 1: but I I think I grew up as a child
Speaker 1: just feeling like all of my fears. People thought I
Speaker 1: was trying to get attention, which maybe I was subconsciously.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was, or that I was trying
Speaker 1: to be the center of attention, which, let me tell you,
Speaker 1: maybe that's a little bit of my goal now because
Speaker 1: I'm a comedian and trying to you know, a famous person,
Speaker 1: so obviously that's a goal. When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I did not want I hated that I went the
Speaker 1: bed and that I was scared of IMAX movies and
Speaker 1: I was scared of movies and like I was scared
Speaker 1: of ghosts, had to sleep on those are all embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like I can't wait to be like I'm
Speaker 1: not a one of these girls. It's like I hate
Speaker 1: the word moist. That's my personality. I wish I wasn't
Speaker 1: like anxious and scared. I hate these things about myself.
Speaker 1: So when so I think I still struggle with when
Speaker 1: I have anxieties. I think sometimes or things when you
Speaker 1: have anxieties trying to think how to phrase like you
Speaker 1: put on a front that like I don't give a
Speaker 1: fuck when you might give all the fox, and I think,
Speaker 1: like as a friend of yours, like sometimes I don't
Speaker 1: really know that it's coming from a place of fear
Speaker 1: or like why you're acting in a certain way, So
Speaker 1: like I don't really because it doesn't feel vote like
Speaker 1: for you know, like I don't know there could be
Speaker 1: I can't think of an example right now, but like
Speaker 1: just like a little thing where like instead of like
Speaker 1: you being like, well, I'm actually just afraid of it,
Speaker 1: it's it's more like it stronger, So like I don't
Speaker 1: know exactly something, but that's what I'm saying. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Is like when when I do react
Speaker 1: in a way that like maybe I lash out at
Speaker 1: someone or something, and yeah, that's it's inexcusable. I definitely
Speaker 1: deserved to give an apology to whoever I'm doing that too.
Speaker 1: But when people lash out or when people scream or
Speaker 1: like even hit someone, you have to understand that that
Speaker 1: is coming from a place of intense fear, and you,
Speaker 1: like I even sometimes you need to try. Everyone needs
Speaker 1: to try to try to That's what I do. Try
Speaker 1: to do it. I apologize that I go to therapy,
Speaker 1: I meditate, I read books like That's the thing when
Speaker 1: people go, well, Nikki, this just gives you an excuse
Speaker 1: to just be a bit all the time because you're you. Oh,
Speaker 1: you had fears as a child, and you weren't you
Speaker 1: weren't cared for enough as a child. That just gives
Speaker 1: you an excuse to be a terrible adult, a drug addict,
Speaker 1: anything you want, because you go, my child and I
Speaker 1: didn't get enough love. I have anxieties. It's not an excuse.
Speaker 1: All I'm asking for and if I'm able to even
Speaker 1: acknowledge that, that means I'm doing work that I'm trying
Speaker 1: and I can't fix it overnight. And I'm not asking
Speaker 1: for everyone to forgive me whenever I transgress or whenever
Speaker 1: I lash out in a way that you know I
Speaker 1: I don't have a plan. I'm trying my best. It's
Speaker 1: just and even if I'm not trying my best. There's
Speaker 1: also probably a reason for that, like not everyone can
Speaker 1: go to therapy, not everyone can meditate, Like there are
Speaker 1: things that people can't do. I just I wish I
Speaker 1: need to do it myself. I want everyone to have
Speaker 1: more compassion for everyone. Even before when I said you
Speaker 1: were an idiot that you don't understand addicts, if you're
Speaker 1: some someone who doesn't understand addicts and has no compassion
Speaker 1: for them, I actually don't think you're an idiot. I
Speaker 1: feel sorry that I'm not feel sorry for you, but
Speaker 1: I understand that you have you were raised, and you
Speaker 1: have a brain that's different, that doesn't maybe have as
Speaker 1: much empathy as another person, which is something you can
Speaker 1: learn because I had to learn empathy, so I have
Speaker 1: empathy even for you, so you can extend it to anyone.
Speaker 1: I just wish I would get it a little bit
Speaker 1: more often in my life because I think that, Um,
Speaker 1: I just I'm just like realizing I I at my core,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a bad person. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm self serving. I feel like I'm a narcissist. I
Speaker 1: feel like everyone things like oh, Nikki just makes up
Speaker 1: things so she can get attention, and because she's being
Speaker 1: a widow baby. And the truth is, even if I
Speaker 1: am doing that, which I truly do not think I
Speaker 1: am on any level, that's the sad thing to do.
Speaker 1: And someone should feel sorry for me that I do that.
Speaker 1: Like when girls are like, even girls are like, I
Speaker 1: hate moist, don't say it. That girl is I know
Speaker 1: it's annoying, but she just wants attention. This poor girl.
Speaker 1: How sad is it that that's how someone is going
Speaker 1: about getting love that they don't like the word moist? Like,
Speaker 1: even that is sad. You gotta go to and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back. It's time for Wednesday's wild Card segment. Um,
Speaker 1: it is time for Andrews Sink Short Story Circles segment.
Speaker 1: You know, I really can bring it together when I want.
Speaker 1: You know, it was how many takes to that take?
Speaker 1: I think that was two? Yeah, it's pretty quick. It
Speaker 1: was quick when I turned. It's funny because the thing
Speaker 1: we wanted you to do, which was like have a
Speaker 1: lisp and kind of slur it, that's usually the thing
Speaker 1: that you would make you do another take, So it
Speaker 1: makes sense we asked you to fuck it off. I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean it's I didn't have to get
Speaker 1: method for that. You know it's already there on the surface. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: So what's today's story and why Well we were talking yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think we never got to the dentist thing that
Speaker 1: but you said that you had. You were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I have a dentist story, and you said, we don't
Speaker 1: have time. And then Noah was like, oh tomorrow, let's
Speaker 1: do this. When you're poor in New York and you're
Speaker 1: picking up dogship for a living, and you have a
Speaker 1: no dental insurance and you have a tooth problem and
Speaker 1: you can't get to Mexico. You can't even find Little
Speaker 1: Mexico in New York. You can't even get there. Where
Speaker 1: would that be south? So so I was fucked. I
Speaker 1: was like, I went to a dentist. They're like, I
Speaker 1: had a root. Now that the route whatever came out.
Speaker 1: So there was a hole in my teeth that came out.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, So you could get so that the
Speaker 1: cap came off. The cap came off an old do
Speaker 1: you know that you're route that the cap is just
Speaker 1: covering a giant hole. You could then get to the nerve.
Speaker 1: So then everything the nerve's gone on a root canal. Buddy, Okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe this was, but it could cause infection of
Speaker 1: just like food packing up in there, trying to think
Speaker 1: what exactly because the root canal I do believe takes
Speaker 1: out them. It does. But for some reason I was
Speaker 1: having a ton of pain. Maybe it was another nerve, however,
Speaker 1: was I was in a ship ton of pain? It
Speaker 1: was like you doing O oragel? Thank thank God for
Speaker 1: ambasol and oragel. Can I just say someone who went
Speaker 1: braces and who also I know it? Probably? Oh it's
Speaker 1: good for two seconds. It's like juicy fruit. I put
Speaker 1: so much of that in the You know what I
Speaker 1: would do? That was really disgusting. Wait, I could probably guess.
Speaker 1: Can you give me some clues. Well, let's say I
Speaker 1: had a hole in my mouth stuff it with um. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say it was stuff with food. What would I
Speaker 1: used to take that food out? A key, A straw,
Speaker 1: I wish a straw, toothpick, A toothpick, that's a normal thing.
Speaker 1: What do you think Andrew did a piece just a
Speaker 1: lamb in it? Like Bill would know? People, I just
Speaker 1: ran off the road. No, it's okay, listen, think about
Speaker 1: how dirty of course, because your brain why would you
Speaker 1: I've done disgusting stuff. I will not I will know
Speaker 1: it's bad. It's you always a dollar, and that would
Speaker 1: be weird if you got it out with your um
Speaker 1: you can scoffle you want to. Andrew's struggle here. But
Speaker 1: when you're depressed and like you do not care about
Speaker 1: self care, especially when you have a tooth pain, that
Speaker 1: pain is so gnawing that you don't even have the
Speaker 1: wherewithal to be like this could be dirty. He just
Speaker 1: wanted out it's dirty. Two um so minutes. It was
Speaker 1: one year for each tooth minus seven um so. I
Speaker 1: went so my cousin Neil. He's a dentist. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: well i'll tell you after the show. But so he
Speaker 1: he's a dentist, but he's not like a third like
Speaker 1: I needed an oral surgeon for this. He's like, I
Speaker 1: could do it for like a hundred hundred bucks. So
Speaker 1: I go to my cousin Neils and I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll have some of the materials. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker took my twoth he had to take out,
Speaker 1: so they're still part of your tooth in there, but
Speaker 1: it is that's a Mohler Like that's like you can't
Speaker 1: like just get it. This motherfucker. I can't even explain
Speaker 1: to you. He numbs it up. So he gives you
Speaker 1: the local does give me. Yeah, He's like you just
Speaker 1: take a little were jealous, that's all you got. It's
Speaker 1: like he's like bite on this spoon essentially, and he's
Speaker 1: fucking using I don't even know what instrument it is,
Speaker 1: just like like a fucking yeah yeah, he's a dentist.
Speaker 1: And he's like he's using like a wrench like an
Speaker 1: old school like like a thing to get horseshoes off.
Speaker 1: And he's just like fucking like, I'm telling you, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not exaggerating. He's putting some forty minutes into it.
Speaker 1: He's great. He's sweating, and I'm in like his office,
Speaker 1: which feels like yeah yeah yeah without yeah. So so
Speaker 1: he's like feed me, see mall and he's sucking, grinding,
Speaker 1: like I'm telling you like that, you know I'm pressure
Speaker 1: and um, but I'm telling me, is he playing You're
Speaker 1: a crazy bit butcher? Fuck I'm rock hard. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And so like I got another fucking canal. You can
Speaker 1: take stuff. And so anyway, So he's fucking grinding and
Speaker 1: he finally like, I'm telling I figured in this attic
Speaker 1: the Dennis also has soft rock playing like Michael that
Speaker 1: Michael McDonald dot dot. He's like, so, how's your mother?
Speaker 1: He's doing all right. I'm like, dude, just get my
Speaker 1: He puts the TV on in the corner. Just let
Speaker 1: me show you some old photos of your of your
Speaker 1: O'donald show is playing. That's always what was playing. Okay, going,
Speaker 1: we used to play baseball and flushing at that park
Speaker 1: and yeah, and so he finally gets it out and
Speaker 1: like it was insane. I left there like feeling like
Speaker 1: I was abused for like a like like a like
Speaker 1: a like water boarded but some kind of Yeah. And
Speaker 1: I left there and I was like, this is why poverty,
Speaker 1: Like it really hit me, like if you don't have money,
Speaker 1: like that's the surface. Yeah. And I love him and
Speaker 1: he's a good dentist. You should go to him as
Speaker 1: a dentist. As an oral having to do this which
Speaker 1: is outside like this, he's my cousin. Oh, it's your cousin. God.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a scene from the Nick. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: sounds terrible. I mean, can you imagine they used to
Speaker 1: do surgeries with no an I mean a childbirth, even
Speaker 1: with no like just in every movie it's like, here's
Speaker 1: so simple whiskey. You bite on this fucking belt or
Speaker 1: spoon and we're gonna cut your leg off. And my
Speaker 1: mom always braggs that she didn't have This is a
Speaker 1: joke from my act from a while ago. But my mom,
Speaker 1: it's true. My mom had natural child Yea, my mom
Speaker 1: um said that when my mom always likes to bragg
Speaker 1: that whendn't she give birth to me and my sister that, um,
Speaker 1: she didn't know drugs, didn't use any drugs. What's the
Speaker 1: punch line? She drank alcohol, no drugs, didn't take any drugs.
Speaker 1: Uh no. But during my conception I needed drugs, needed
Speaker 1: all of them. But when I was to see she
Speaker 1: was fucked up, she had a spinal tap. Final thought,
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, it reminded me when you're saying
Speaker 1: that when they were giving me the novocaine yesterday to
Speaker 1: shoot into my like when they do, they go, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little pinch, you know, when they shoot
Speaker 1: it all in there to numb it up. He gave
Speaker 1: me a he tried, he did a vibrator. He was like,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna vibrate and use this vibrator he said, vibrator,
Speaker 1: which I was just like that word, like you just
Speaker 1: like don't ye sax rock hard cock. But it is
Speaker 1: good because they used to do that at my arm
Speaker 1: for pain. If you distract the body by like what
Speaker 1: you do with your yes, it's distracting the pain. Like
Speaker 1: when I used to get Brazilian waxes. I used to
Speaker 1: go to this Indian threading place. I wasn't It was
Speaker 1: a wax for your pussy, but threading for your eyebrows.
Speaker 1: And in the back room they did waxes and this
Speaker 1: sweet woman used to when she would be she would
Speaker 1: rip it off and then she would just like this
Speaker 1: on my thigh like rub it. Yeah, she would uh
Speaker 1: wipe on white boff just really fast, and it was
Speaker 1: just like it would feel so nurturing and like nice
Speaker 1: that there was like some other like feeling happening. So
Speaker 1: did he vibrate wild? He was distracted? He was, you
Speaker 1: let me know if it helps, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't really tell because I didn't have it without it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, it's just the more stuff going on.
Speaker 1: The less you're gonna focus on. That's when you have
Speaker 1: a vibrator when you're having sex. Do you feel the
Speaker 1: penis less? Yes, because it would be more stimulation, you know,
Speaker 1: so like you you have, but it all together feels. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So like if you're doing a pie chart and you're
Speaker 1: only having your clip rub, the whole thing is going
Speaker 1: to be clip and maybe like a little bit will
Speaker 1: be like whatever noises you're hearing. Another thing will be
Speaker 1: like the pressure of his body on you. And then
Speaker 1: you add another stimulus. It's going to take up more
Speaker 1: of the pie chart, but you're not going to feel
Speaker 1: that part of the pie as much if it was
Speaker 1: the whole pie. Yes, yes, the whole pie would be
Speaker 1: like all all of the fields. And then um yeah.
Speaker 1: And then there was another thing you said that reminded
Speaker 1: me of something else. Fucking vibrator teeth, novacane no vacane
Speaker 1: um yeah, just opioids, Um yeah, we got we were talking.
Speaker 1: It was interesting for me to learn the difference between
Speaker 1: dopamine and then opioids and having like dopamine is yes,
Speaker 1: the pleasure leading up to it, which I've always thought
Speaker 1: about that when you get a notification, they always say
Speaker 1: that's a shot of dopamine, that's opioid. Yeah, or it
Speaker 1: would be maybe it could be like the I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a mixture of both, but it's two
Speaker 1: different chemicals. And the dopamine is really like the anticipation,
Speaker 1: the like, like what the excitement when you're when you're
Speaker 1: feeling excited about something, and then the dopamine and then
Speaker 1: the opioid is the rush of like ah, fought like
Speaker 1: relief that that that anticipation is finally and then after
Speaker 1: that dopamine. So the dopamine is when you post, when
Speaker 1: you're about to post something and you're getting your post ready,
Speaker 1: and the opioid is like the first of like thirty
Speaker 1: six likes within a second, and you're like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be it. But it's psychology and instagram Instagram terms.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean it's it's so that one
Speaker 1: book that I read at the beginning of the pandemic
Speaker 1: that was called um It was like about addiction. Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan had posted on his thing and I just downloaded immediately,
Speaker 1: but it was about phone addiction and technology addiction, and
Speaker 1: boy do they have it. I mean, we already know
Speaker 1: this from watching that one documentary on Netflix that they did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the documentary, the Albert Brooks documentary. He's all that on Netflix. No,
Speaker 1: it's um the social thank you about how these people
Speaker 1: they've hired people who work in casinos to figure out that. Like,
Speaker 1: that's what candy Crush is addictive because when the way
Speaker 1: the star lights up, the way the sound, the way
Speaker 1: the star will everything, it's and that's why wort All
Speaker 1: was so cool because he did not want to make
Speaker 1: it addictive. He wanted, well, that's why because people have
Speaker 1: a normal relationship with it. And candy Crush is all
Speaker 1: about money. I mean, I'm sorry these I'm really disgusted
Speaker 1: by consumerism and capitalism at this point in my life.
Speaker 1: I just think everything is about how much money you
Speaker 1: can make. Like, oh, Wendy Williams, I just saw this headline.
Speaker 1: Her show got canceled because she wasn't showing up puting
Speaker 1: into podcasting, and now she's going into she's getting a show.
Speaker 1: It's serious. And her her line, which maybe she said
Speaker 1: more stuff so I don't want to, you know, take
Speaker 1: it totally out of context. But I think she's someone
Speaker 1: who represents just do whatever you can to get more money,
Speaker 1: say whatever you want to get more money. If you know,
Speaker 1: bad press is good press, doesn't matter who you hurt,
Speaker 1: what you say. She's not the one who really thinks
Speaker 1: before she talks. I definitely have that in my system too.
Speaker 1: But she said her response was, which is such a trumpion, Like,
Speaker 1: just don't worry anything that's rejected me, anything that's failed,
Speaker 1: it's it's good. I didn't even want it anyway, or
Speaker 1: it was a lie, you know, like anything no defeat,
Speaker 1: there's never You've never made a mistake in your life. Literally,
Speaker 1: can you please, can anyone give me an example? I
Speaker 1: would love one of Donald Trump admitting that's somewhere he
Speaker 1: has made a mistake, that he has been fallible, even
Speaker 1: in the slightest ever. If you would send me an example,
Speaker 1: I would really love it, and it would give me
Speaker 1: some compassion for him. But Wendy Williams said, I, um,
Speaker 1: you know, uh going to serious? Um? Actually this is
Speaker 1: a pretty good Wendy Williams And I don't know where
Speaker 1: I'm going to serious. And I just want to say
Speaker 1: that I am making more money than I would ever
Speaker 1: make doing that TV show, So it's good. Like it
Speaker 1: was just about money, It's like what happened to I
Speaker 1: don't know. I liked having a TV show, all the
Speaker 1: people that worked on it with me. I'm sad to
Speaker 1: see it go. Man, this sucks from what I read,
Speaker 1: from what I read about this story, because I was
Speaker 1: thinking about doing it for news. For um, why do
Speaker 1: I care? She did say that podcasting is more simpler
Speaker 1: than TV, and she was like, over, I like that
Speaker 1: that whole production, But I just hate this thing of like, oh,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, I'm going to make more money there anyway,
Speaker 1: Like since what so then why don't you just marry
Speaker 1: the richest guy and not even care about love or whatever?
Speaker 1: Like why do was it? Everything just motivated by oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm making more money, so it doesn't even matter. I
Speaker 1: can just you know, my whole family died in that
Speaker 1: house fire, but you know what they cost money, So
Speaker 1: I'm going to make more money now in the future,
Speaker 1: like my next house is gonna be That's how people.
Speaker 1: That's how much insurance money I got. Yeah, okay on
Speaker 1: psychiatrist call. But it just reminds me of clicks. And
Speaker 1: And there was this person that went against Dave Portnoy
Speaker 1: from barstool, and she actually had some really valid points,
Speaker 1: but really went after like the strong headline. And when
Speaker 1: he interviewed her, she was just hon and she goes, look,
Speaker 1: I just knew would get a lot of clicks. And
Speaker 1: he had no defense because she was just so honest,
Speaker 1: Like this is it. This is the old we live in.
Speaker 1: But that's the problem that everything that's about clicks, and
Speaker 1: then you get treated better and more clicks you get.
Speaker 1: It's not about how good the substance is. No, and
Speaker 1: that's what all people care about because clicks equal money.
Speaker 1: But like, start paying attention to what people, the decisions
Speaker 1: people make, what they do. I just want to say
Speaker 1: one less thing because I'm actually I have time to
Speaker 1: do it. No. Um uh, last night I got so
Speaker 1: I came across I was watching Our Books movie and
Speaker 1: I was on my computer and I saw um Daily
Speaker 1: Mail like buried deep down, which is I barely read
Speaker 1: the Daily Man because it's so right wing leaning that
Speaker 1: it grosses me out. But they do have the best
Speaker 1: paparazzi shots and stuff. But there was this article that
Speaker 1: said UM, and I sent it to him. Let me
Speaker 1: just send show this picture. Hold on, I just want
Speaker 1: to talk about this um really quickly. Um So yeah,
Speaker 1: a double final thought. Um I sent him a thing.
Speaker 1: It said, whopper of a donation. David Spade gives five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to underappreciated Burger King employe who has never
Speaker 1: missed a day's work, but was rewarded with a Measley
Speaker 1: can measly candy goodie bag. On his twenty seventh year anniversary,
Speaker 1: David Spade surprised a hard working Burger King employee with
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. Um Spade sent forward a sweet direct
Speaker 1: message via Instagram that read keep up the good work
Speaker 1: twenty seven years. In response, according to a screenshot of
Speaker 1: their exchange obtained by TMZ, he replied, holy shit, dude,
Speaker 1: three shocked face emojis. The fast food worker also expressed
Speaker 1: he couldn't believe Spade's kindness and was looking forward to
Speaker 1: using some of his paid time off. Um Ford went
Speaker 1: viral earlier this week, so he posted this video about
Speaker 1: like I've worked for for twenty seven years. They I've
Speaker 1: never missed a day and this is what I get
Speaker 1: for like my anniversary, like this goodie bag. And so
Speaker 1: Spade saw this and not to get any press, like really,
Speaker 1: I know that you might roll your eyes at that
Speaker 1: not you, but like the listener. And so I wrote
Speaker 1: to him and I go, this was really fucking cool
Speaker 1: because it was buried. It wasn't like this wasn't top
Speaker 1: headline nose. No, you probably saw it did have it
Speaker 1: in because the guy screenshot at it and then put
Speaker 1: it on. So he originally tiktoked about being Yeah, he
Speaker 1: took talked it. Also should add that he had he
Speaker 1: has a go fund me that raised a lot of
Speaker 1: money from from people who saw his story, aside from
Speaker 1: from David Spade. Yes that he's putting to his grandchild's
Speaker 1: college tuition. Um uh my point I was supposed to.
Speaker 1: I really sucked up anyway, so I can probably get
Speaker 1: on the last half hour. Um, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: say that. I wrote to Spade and I said, you know,
Speaker 1: this is so cool and he was like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why I do it, you know, so it'll get out,
Speaker 1: And he was like, no, it's I go, it's really
Speaker 1: cool because it's an amount of money that can change
Speaker 1: that person's life, Like five thousand dollars is a fun
Speaker 1: ton of money, not just I mean to anyone, but
Speaker 1: especially to someone who's a minimum wage. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say minimum, he's probably had a little bit of
Speaker 1: a raise in twenty seven years, but maybe not. But anyway,
Speaker 1: um Spade wrote back and was like, we just got
Speaker 1: into this exchange about um how much money he's given
Speaker 1: over He's like, listen, he goes, it is You're like,
Speaker 1: he goes, You're right, because this feels so much better
Speaker 1: to give this because of all the clicks, No, but
Speaker 1: because it is actually I see where, I see where
Speaker 1: it's going. I see how great it's making this guy's life,
Speaker 1: how how appreciated it is. How he's like, I've donated
Speaker 1: this amount of money to the Red Cross for the hurricanes,
Speaker 1: this amount of money for the Red Cross for the earthquakes,
Speaker 1: this amount of money to you know, California firefighters for
Speaker 1: the fires, this amount like it was so much money.
Speaker 1: Like I just have to say, he's one of the
Speaker 1: most generous people celebrities I have ever heard of. He
Speaker 1: has never once told me about any of the stuff.
Speaker 1: There's no data about him donating all this. It's not,
Speaker 1: you know, just for tax write of purposes. He has
Speaker 1: donated so much. But he's right, Like, when I donate
Speaker 1: a big amount to somewhere, I'm like, it's probably just
Speaker 1: going to buy paper cups for their meeting that they're having,
Speaker 1: about planning a party, like about the government about giving
Speaker 1: taxes because they don't know where it's going, they don't trust.
Speaker 1: But if you could see where it goes specifically, and
Speaker 1: you get a little TikTok video being like they keep
Speaker 1: your money. Now we now have a pothole, like you
Speaker 1: killed in this pole. But I really want to start
Speaker 1: doing that more often, Like I pledge as a celebrity
Speaker 1: that gets paid more money than I probably deserve to
Speaker 1: be paid because I'm lucky. I want to start doing
Speaker 1: these tips and I'm not going to do it for
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to say this. I just think
Speaker 1: that everyone can add an extra five dollar tips sometimes
Speaker 1: if you can afford it, and even five dollars on
Speaker 1: I've said this before. When you're a waitress and you
Speaker 1: have a someone's bought a thing and you get five
Speaker 1: dollars as the tip, an extra five dollars a tip
Speaker 1: is enough to literally put a skip in your step
Speaker 1: and make you like, wow, I just got an extra
Speaker 1: tables worth of money for and it's five dollars. So
Speaker 1: you have the ability. Everyone has the ability to do
Speaker 1: this during the day, and if you don't have money,
Speaker 1: you can do it with compliments. And by the way,
Speaker 1: men need compliments, is what I've learned being around a
Speaker 1: bunch of men lately. They need compliments. So, Andrew, your
Speaker 1: facial hair is in great with your beard and your mustache.
Speaker 1: I really like the look. I missed the mustache a
Speaker 1: little bit, but you know he'll come back. Um, you
Speaker 1: look handsome today, so I just need you to know
Speaker 1: that you're a handsome guy. We gotta go. Instead of
Speaker 1: doing raps, we're gonna sing songs. This is where I
Speaker 1: sucked up. This is where I went wrong. I was
Speaker 1: supposed to have a psychiatric meeting with my psychiatrist. I
Speaker 1: only go to him every couple of months, or maybe
Speaker 1: every nine months, to get my medications back on track
Speaker 1: and to make him make some money so that he
Speaker 1: doesn't just keep writing descriptions for and I'm sending descriptions
Speaker 1: instead of prescriptions. So then I scheduled this meeting, and
Speaker 1: I thought I'd go in person because I haven't seen
Speaker 1: him in a while. And I sucked it up because
Speaker 1: in my mind it's still a telethealth meeting, and they
Speaker 1: just wrote me and said You're supposed to be here
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty. It's now twelve oh five and I
Speaker 1: still haven't been there and I'm not gonna come. And
Speaker 1: I wrote them, hey, can I wait five minutes? And
Speaker 1: they're like, what do you mean wait five minutes? It's
Speaker 1: been thirty five minutes and you're supposed to be here
Speaker 1: and it's not tell health. So everything is fucked and
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna put me on Mormon's. I was thinking
Speaker 1: that that they would end up working out for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm clearly he needs to be on something
Speaker 1: else because you've really fucked us up. I gotta go one. Okay,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's car, it has a bad engine. She brought
Speaker 1: it to Firestone they quoted, so then we brought it
Speaker 1: to Honda and they said nine fifty. Then I put
Speaker 1: on Instagram story, will anyone do a brand deal? I
Speaker 1: know it's kind of weird to put that out there,
Speaker 1: and I just was kind of kidding, but I kind
Speaker 1: of threw a fishing a hook out there, and someone said, yes,
Speaker 1: I own Honda a little bit farther away from St. Louis,
Speaker 1: So I go, okay. I talked to the guy. He
Speaker 1: really made it feel like I'd actually get a car
Speaker 1: for a year and have no charges and everything was great.
Speaker 1: But then I bring n nave naive and I bring
Speaker 1: the car in. He's a new famous guy and he
Speaker 1: thinks perks are all free. But there's always a prize.
Speaker 1: There's always a prize, a prize. The best part is
Speaker 1: they go, we knocked it down for you, and I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you forgot about the five other things the last
Speaker 1: place said, so actually it's not less, it's more, And
Speaker 1: they gave me ten. How many times have I thought
Speaker 1: I was getting a deal and I spend so much more.
Speaker 1: It reminds me if your mom goes to Mexico and
Speaker 1: she ends up spending seven thousand, because yes, and she
Speaker 1: will because of all the resort fees of the travel. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much for listening. If you do
Speaker 1: have any car deals that you can help Andrew out with,
Speaker 1: didn't do it out of the kind of stuff your heart.
Speaker 1: We're not trying to do any any deals here, but
Speaker 1: you know. In August thirty, go to Nashville, UM to
Speaker 1: see Zaney's, to go see Andrew and support him and
Speaker 1: his first headlining gig, and quite some time, So that
Speaker 1: would be awesome if you guys all came to that
