Speaker 1: the sound on my end, but here I am. Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Nikki. It's the show. Welcome to it. Oh, I
Speaker 1: know why mode? Oh there it is kicking in. Hey
Speaker 1: guys from Nicky Glaiser. Welcome to the show, Snick Gleiser Podcast.
Speaker 2: What are you about? You had a smirk.
Speaker 1: I know, I just got a d M from Chris.
Speaker 1: That's like a private thing. But it was just like
Speaker 1: this was us and it was I just I just
Speaker 1: saw the what the video is? I already know what
Speaker 1: the what the video is. It's a clip from It's
Speaker 1: a very intense clip from Seventh Heaven. And we had
Speaker 1: a therapy session today or yesterday, a couple's therapy session
Speaker 1: where things got tense and he just sent this. We
Speaker 1: haven't really talked about it. Like you get off these
Speaker 1: couples if you don't live together, which we do, but
Speaker 1: he's in LA right now. You get done with a
Speaker 1: couple of syapy, you just like say bye and you
Speaker 1: log off, and then you like, wait, what do you do?
Speaker 1: Like usually you walk out together and you like hug
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and you go That was really good?
Speaker 1: Are you talking the elevator? And like then you go
Speaker 1: home and you kind of like but when you're in
Speaker 1: separate places, you're just gonna like do I can we
Speaker 1: just leave that there? I don't really want to talk
Speaker 1: about what came up in there and then and so
Speaker 1: we didn't. And he's busy working on editing the Mark
Speaker 1: Twain Prize, and so we didn't really talk about all
Speaker 1: the stuff that came up in there, and but he
Speaker 1: just sent me this thing that made me like feel like, okay, good,
Speaker 1: It's not as dire as I thought it was, you know,
Speaker 1: like the whatever came up, Like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it never is, like it could be down the line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these sayings where people go like what like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know it's right when it's hard, It's like, well that's
Speaker 1: a lot of times, or like stuff like that. It's like,
Speaker 1: well no, because sometimes you hurt yourself because you go
Speaker 1: too hard. It's like I don't. Yeah, there's it is
Speaker 1: not always true, and that's.
Speaker 2: What really rhymes not true necessarily.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had double therapy yesterday. I had couples and
Speaker 1: then went right from couples, logged off and went right
Speaker 1: into my single therapy, and at the end of it,
Speaker 1: I was so drained, and I know people are like, yeah, done, Nikki,
Speaker 1: that's draining, not from me. And then I had done
Speaker 1: the podcast the hour before, so it was an our podcast,
Speaker 1: our couples hour. It was a lot of talking myself,
Speaker 1: and the podcast yesterday felt it was for me and
Speaker 1: my ecosystem of my body very tense because I was
Speaker 1: reliving that red carpet moment that was like fraught for me,
Speaker 1: and and so it was just like I got done
Speaker 1: with that last one and I didn't cry through it.
Speaker 1: I cried a little bit on the couples one, but
Speaker 1: then I really I bawled, which I'm By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm a little annoyed at the word balling because they
Speaker 1: will throw balling Like I watch Netflix with the subtitles
Speaker 1: on all the time, the captions, Oh my arm is
Speaker 1: really white, and my my arm is really tanned. I
Speaker 1: can't lift up my arm, and they will say they
Speaker 1: will go to balling very often when it is just
Speaker 1: someone going like like, Okay, what do you think balling is?
Speaker 1: Because when I think of someone balling, I think of
Speaker 1: it like I can't this, Like that's balling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, falling out of your nose. You can't even control it. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's ball.
Speaker 1: Once in their lives, women ball probably three times a month.
Speaker 1: Ball is something that happens.
Speaker 2: During every episode of America's Got Talent? What really? Yeah? No,
Speaker 2: it just gets to me that the only.
Speaker 1: Thing that makes me just hold on, wait at we
Speaker 1: have to explore this? Why with it sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: being judgmental. I hear my own tone, and I'm not
Speaker 1: not being judgmental. I'm actually curious what is it? Because
Speaker 1: I like to explore what gets us, what makes us cry? Like,
Speaker 1: what have you explored? Why is it that that touches
Speaker 1: you so much? What is it saying to your inner child?
Speaker 2: My inner child?
Speaker 1: Probably what's going on?
Speaker 2: Someone being recognized after doing a lot of hard work?
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 1: But some of these people are just naturally talented and
Speaker 1: they didn't work at all all. They're just born with
Speaker 1: good voices. Or is it really the hard work that's.
Speaker 2: The hard that's what the package is for. They show
Speaker 2: you the package of this person who called their way
Speaker 2: out of a volcano in order to dance, and they
Speaker 2: finally get to.
Speaker 1: Date America's Got Talent. I'm thinking of just singing. No,
Speaker 1: America's got talent is actually a lot of people that
Speaker 1: worked very hard learning how to juggle women on their feet.
Speaker 2: That's right, and some of them do juggle women. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there was a fire. There was like an I forgot
Speaker 2: what country it was. Now I feel like semi racist,
Speaker 2: but I think it was Iranian, an Iranian dance team.
Speaker 2: That was they They I think they won or came
Speaker 2: in second place last year, and their story was so
Speaker 2: incredibly touching and they overcame have so much adversity and
Speaker 2: then they were amazing dancers, and I was that made
Speaker 2: me cry. Every single time there's a video, there's like
Speaker 2: a show me a sizzle reel of someone's adversity and
Speaker 2: then show them go on stage and do something amazing,
Speaker 2: and then have Simon Cowell, that curmudgeonly bastard go that
Speaker 2: was the best thing I've ever seen, and then they cry.
Speaker 2: That's There's nothing that gets to me quicker and faster
Speaker 2: than much the voice.
Speaker 1: Do you watch American Idol? Like is this just why
Speaker 1: America's got talent? Are you just a Nick Cannon guy,
Speaker 1: a Howie Mandela why America's got talent? Because for me,
Speaker 1: I don't like to see swords, and I don't like
Speaker 1: to see little kids being comedians. I don't like to
Speaker 1: see There's so many things I don't like Nick Cannon
Speaker 1: off stage commenting about what's happening. I don't like that,
Speaker 1: Like live interactive commentary, I don't like them. And I
Speaker 1: don't like like shadow puppetry, where I'm like, okay, what
Speaker 1: are we We're gonna give this person a Vegas contract,
Speaker 1: which I actually that would probably work very well in Vegas.
Speaker 1: But there's just a lot of stuff that seems set
Speaker 1: up to be ridiculous. And I know that the gag
Speaker 1: reel is part of these shows why America's gone talent
Speaker 1: and not a singing competition.
Speaker 2: Well it's not Nick Cannon anymore. It's not Terry Crews.
Speaker 1: And oh it.
Speaker 2: Makes a huge difference that when it's Terry Crews, because
Speaker 2: Terry Crews, whether he's doing it true, Yes, he really
Speaker 2: wants these people to succeed.
Speaker 1: He likes Adam in studio one time and it was incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the sweetest.
Speaker 2: He really wants. He takes people under his wing. He
Speaker 2: like mentors certain youths if they're if he sees something
Speaker 2: in them and he feels like he could uplift them,
Speaker 2: and he's really on the sideline, you know. Sometimes they're
Speaker 2: doing their act and everyone's like, oh no, like like
Speaker 2: if it's uh Susan Boyle, like oh no, is this
Speaker 2: ugly person gonna be able to sing? And then everyone's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, is it gonna happen? And then Terry
Speaker 2: crew is on the sideline. And then when it happens, Terry,
Speaker 2: they showed that side view and Terry Crews looks at
Speaker 2: the camera and.
Speaker 1: Goes, yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 2: I could tell actually wants them to succeed, whereas Nick
Speaker 2: Cannon was like Nick Cannon's reaction in the same situation
Speaker 2: would be like, oh shit, they're bringing it, you know,
Speaker 2: be something.
Speaker 1: Like that, yes, which is Cruise seems like a father
Speaker 1: on this, like so proud.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a wonderful show. I don't love right now.
Speaker 1: No, is the season happening now?
Speaker 2: They did agt All Stars, which I don't love, so
Speaker 2: I just didn't watch them. Usually why don't you love
Speaker 2: because I want to see the sizzle reels. I want
Speaker 2: to see them over Codversity.
Speaker 1: Yes, and now.
Speaker 2: Stars already know their story, we already.
Speaker 1: I wanted so badly to pitch Dancing with the Stars Losers.
Speaker 1: Everyone who's been first quoted off comes back. It's been
Speaker 1: on for thirty plus seasons. You can make a season
Speaker 1: out of ten losers me included that can come back,
Speaker 1: and actually, like, you know, work hard, it will all
Speaker 1: it will all be about hard work, even though that
Speaker 1: show is already about hard working enough. The people are good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm trying to think of what makes.
Speaker 2: Thinks that might be wrong. Actually, I think it might
Speaker 2: be on right now. America's Got Talent Fantasy is on
Speaker 2: right now. I guess. Okay, so it is on. I
Speaker 2: gotta watch it.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah you should. You should tune into that. Do
Speaker 1: you like Heidi's commentary? I'll watch it if you're watching it.
Speaker 2: Heidi's great. Heidi. I like Heidi. She's I like her
Speaker 2: because she kind of brings a cool factor. When she
Speaker 2: really likes something, I'm like, Okay, that's cool. Then she
Speaker 2: says something like that was incredible, And I like hearing that.
Speaker 1: What about comedians on America's Got Talent? Because we had
Speaker 1: a friend who was gonna got asked audition and and
Speaker 1: I've had many friends on that show. Gary Veder did
Speaker 1: really well on that show. Taylor Williamson did really well
Speaker 1: on that show. I think, uh, Joe Mackey did great
Speaker 1: on that show. Doogie Horner sure, or Tom Cotter who
Speaker 1: had a great one of my favorite jokes talk about
Speaker 1: I can't remember bits. I'll never forget Tom Cotter. He
Speaker 1: was on Last Comic Standing. I think the season one
Speaker 1: he made a joke about my wife can count all
Speaker 1: the people she's slept with before on one hand with
Speaker 1: a calculator.
Speaker 2: Especially America's got talent comedians, is that they're looking for
Speaker 2: a very specific type of comedian and with a puppet. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you need a puppet.
Speaker 1: Don't you need a puppet? Tears win this show or one?
Speaker 2: A disproportionate amount of the ventril quists do very well
Speaker 2: on the show. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't care for it.
Speaker 2: But you have to go out there and you have
Speaker 2: to be you have to do short jokes. You have
Speaker 2: three minutes, and they have to be like family friendly based.
Speaker 1: All those comics I mentioned are one liner guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Gary Vetter is the exception, because I know that
Speaker 2: Gary Vetters definitely not like a like the main.
Speaker 1: Family guy. No, but he is at his heart he's
Speaker 1: such a sweetheart, and I think that came through. And
Speaker 1: he's a great joke writer. So yeah, it was interesting.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Taylor Williamson is also like a kind of
Speaker 1: a one liner type guy. Yeah, I just uh, I
Speaker 1: guess I just don't care. What did you like? Watch
Speaker 1: it when Howard Stern was a course or a judge,
Speaker 1: the best judge.
Speaker 2: I mean it's Simon cow You can't beat a curmudgeon
Speaker 2: that softens, Yeah, especially one with all that power.
Speaker 1: There is something like, man, do you want to win
Speaker 1: him over?
Speaker 2: Man? When I want.
Speaker 1: Simon Cowell to like me and to see something in
Speaker 1: me even though I don't really care for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is that now? Howard Stern amazing though, I
Speaker 2: mean he was great.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's my daddy issues, because my
Speaker 1: dad's never not loved me. But there's something about an
Speaker 1: asshole who or just someone who's just uh yeah, who
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to like things. It's highly discerning. Even if
Speaker 1: there was some quote I've read the other day that
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I know what it was. Can we
Speaker 1: go through these? I want to just talk about these.
Speaker 1: I put it on my Instagram story yesterday, But it's Uh,
Speaker 1: it was from Reddit, and it's was on the subreddit
Speaker 1: life hacks, and they post it on Instagram. But it's
Speaker 1: like I turned seventy two today. Here's thirty two things
Speaker 1: I've learned that I hope you hope help you in
Speaker 1: your journey you want to go through some you're really helpful.
Speaker 1: Number one, it's usually better to be nice than right.
Speaker 1: And that's true. Yeah, kind I mean nice not nice.
Speaker 1: Kind is like the most support. Nice is fake to me.
Speaker 3: Nice sometimes implicates so you're kind of like a pushover
Speaker 3: where people walk all over you.
Speaker 1: That's my interpretation.
Speaker 2: I really like I'd rather have a mean pilot than
Speaker 2: a wrong pilot.
Speaker 1: It's a good point.
Speaker 2: Or a surgeon. I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's all said.
Speaker 1: Good landing to a pilot the other day because it
Speaker 1: was really bumpy on the way in and I had
Speaker 1: a dream that our plane crashed and it just skidded.
Speaker 1: You guys have lots of people to have this. I
Speaker 1: remember Andrew Colin when we used to travel together. He also,
Speaker 1: when you're on a plane and you sleep, you have
Speaker 1: a dream that you're flying in a plane through a
Speaker 1: city and you're going weaving through buildings and you can see.
Speaker 1: It's like you're at a car. You can see ahead
Speaker 1: of you, you can see behind you, and you're kind
Speaker 1: of okay with it. You're a little bit scared, and
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to land on a highway. It happens
Speaker 1: to me a lot, and I know what happens to
Speaker 1: other people when they sleep on planes. But I had
Speaker 1: that dream, and then the wind gusts were kind of
Speaker 1: like making us go like we as we were landing,
Speaker 1: and then we landed so smoothly that I, oh, I
Speaker 1: have a talent. Do you want I could go to
Speaker 1: Mariska got talent? See if you like this talent? Anytime? Well,
Speaker 1: i'd have to be on a plane. I can predict
Speaker 1: within one second when the wheels will hit the ground
Speaker 1: now and it'll be yes, exactly, I will know, like.
Speaker 2: On the show.
Speaker 1: But that's pretty impressive, though. I am so in tune
Speaker 1: with it. I've flown so much. I mean, I can't
Speaker 1: have a whole Vegas residency opposite Seline Dion predicting when
Speaker 1: simulating in a plane and being able to call when
Speaker 1: it lands. I don't even tell this that anyone. It's
Speaker 1: just in my head. I don't even know. I can't
Speaker 1: even celebrate it with someone in the seat next to me.
Speaker 1: Chris wouldn't give a shit, but I can always feel it.
Speaker 1: I just know based on and I guess. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that is quite a talent, but yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: Well, that's pretty cool. Next time I'm on a plane
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: What you're know that if planes have a rough landing
Speaker 1: where it's like boom, that means they were you can
Speaker 1: usually tell a pilot if a pilot was in the
Speaker 1: Navy or the Air Force. Fu do you know this?
Speaker 1: I swear to God. No, No, The Army or the
Speaker 1: Air Force have different landing styles. So usually pilots have
Speaker 1: been in the military at some point, and so if
Speaker 1: they land harshly, they were in the Air Force, I think,
Speaker 1: or it might be the other way around, but it's
Speaker 1: generally is like there's a two categories, and a hard
Speaker 1: landing is not a bad landing. It's just a style
Speaker 1: of landing that they learned. Wow, okay, but that's it's been.
Speaker 1: I've brought it up to someone that knows it and
Speaker 1: they said, yes, that's true, and I read it read
Speaker 1: at one time.
Speaker 2: My guess is that the hard landing is from the
Speaker 2: Navy because they have to land on aircraft carriers which
Speaker 2: have a lot shorter runway, so they got to slam
Speaker 2: down and stop, whereas air Force they have an actual
Speaker 2: runway they can glide onto.
Speaker 1: That's just my Okay, let's see, let's see if anything
Speaker 1: comes up. Yeah, no, it's it's it's not coming up.
Speaker 1: But there that is a difference. Someone can You can
Speaker 1: google yourselves if you guys are interested. Okay. Number two,
Speaker 1: Nothing worthwhile comes easy? What about love? What about unconditional love? No,
Speaker 1: love is not supposed to be easy. What about from
Speaker 1: your parent? I mean is that always easy? Though? It
Speaker 1: should be? Your parents should love you just your parents
Speaker 1: are a human. They're gonna make mistakes, they're going to
Speaker 1: be emotional. But also, but you shouldn't have to have
Speaker 1: effort in getting your parents love. No one's ever said
Speaker 1: to a child you just didn't try hard enough to
Speaker 1: get your mom to like you. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It should come easy. It doesn't mean that.
Speaker 2: It does for the child. Maybe it should, of course.
Speaker 2: What about life?
Speaker 1: Nothing worthwhile comes easy? Yeah, life does come easy.
Speaker 2: It's hard for your mom because you've got to push
Speaker 2: you out. Sorry Noah, but like for the child. I
Speaker 2: guess it is kind of traumatizing for the child to
Speaker 2: get squeezed through also, so maybe it's not well the.
Speaker 3: Child has to rotate in there and like make you know,
Speaker 3: make their way down because they go all the way
Speaker 3: from like their head being up where your boobs are.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Really, so they do have a role
Speaker 1: in it, but they don't even know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: It's just instinct, right, Like they're not like I'm going
Speaker 1: to persevere, yeah, but they're not just like hanging out there.
Speaker 1: But it's not easy. I'm trying to think of something
Speaker 1: that's come easy. Nothing worthwhile. Sorry, friendships for me have
Speaker 1: been easy. Friendship.
Speaker 3: You're the one who says that like through adversity or
Speaker 3: like difficulty or stepping outside of your comfort zone, that's
Speaker 3: where people read can grow. So isn't that like the challenge?
Speaker 3: If things come too easy, people don't appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying nothing worthwhile comes easy. There are
Speaker 1: some things that are worthwhile that you come easy. And
Speaker 1: I would say some people struggle to make friendships. It
Speaker 1: has not been something that has been a struggle for
Speaker 1: me in my life, just because I've gotten lucky. There
Speaker 1: have been other things I'll say with some stuff, and
Speaker 1: pilates comes very easy to some people, and I know
Speaker 1: it's all hard work. But I cried today in pilates again.
Speaker 1: I like, welld up with tears once again because my
Speaker 1: body won't do what I'm supposed to do. And my
Speaker 1: teacher showed me a little bit of compassion, which is
Speaker 1: the number one thing to get me to cry, as
Speaker 1: if someone just goes like I know and then I
Speaker 1: just go. The other day that it happened, I was
Speaker 1: not bawling, but it was like I could have been balling.
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to do it because it's a
Speaker 1: small room. But my teacher the other day was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, she gets sense that I was getting
Speaker 1: so frustrated, and I was like, why can't my body
Speaker 1: do this when it's so like most people can. And
Speaker 1: I'm not lying like it's it's not me being hyperbolic,
Speaker 1: like it really most people can do this thing. And
Speaker 1: she was just like, I don't know. She's like I
Speaker 1: don't know, and she goes, sometimes I cry because my
Speaker 1: body won't do what it's supposed to do. And her
Speaker 1: saying that it literally the second she said cry. I
Speaker 1: was like no, and I just it started flying out
Speaker 1: of my face because it just gave me permission that
Speaker 1: that was an okay response to how frustrating this fucking
Speaker 1: feeling is. I literally I don't feel safe in bloodies
Speaker 1: anymore because I I've cried the past two sessions. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening to me. Frustrated. I thought I
Speaker 1: was crushing it and I'm not. I like, the thing
Speaker 1: is I did. This is what I got in high school.
Speaker 1: I was never the best. I was always the most
Speaker 1: hard working. That's what I am in plates. I will
Speaker 1: give it to myself. I'm probably the most hard working
Speaker 1: person who's bad at it that there is. But I
Speaker 1: am not achieving things. I am so because I've been
Speaker 1: going to classes.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get to a point where it just clicks.
Speaker 3: It becomes a part of your muscle memory.
Speaker 1: It's inevidence of three to four times a week, and
Speaker 1: it is still. I've been going to other classes where
Speaker 1: there's girls that I know just do these classes three
Speaker 1: times a week. They're not doing like for ten years.
Speaker 1: And no, they're young, they're all college students and they
Speaker 1: have the strength. I just don't I don't even understand.
Speaker 1: It's just so upsetting when you think you're doing players. No,
Speaker 1: they're like these tiny girls that look like they're kind
Speaker 1: of just like not really trying that hard, Like they're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I just did one class a week
Speaker 1: on Saturdays. Like I can tell.
Speaker 2: It's that kind of girl and in their twenties, so
Speaker 2: their body is able to.
Speaker 1: It's not about that, it really and I know there's
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm just saying I'm just different. And
Speaker 1: then today my teacher was just like people just have
Speaker 1: different anatomies. You just weren't born with a body that
Speaker 1: can do that. And that's just where I want to
Speaker 1: just quit life.
Speaker 2: I just feel so frustrated. Nothing with nothing worthwhile comes easy.
Speaker 2: So you got to do it, I know.
Speaker 1: But I am gonna keep trying. It's just sad when
Speaker 1: you dry really hard and you're not seeing the results
Speaker 1: that you want.
Speaker 2: Story of my life.
Speaker 1: Really with your teeth and your mattress.
Speaker 2: Any apply it to anything. It's with playing piano. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can't get good enough with doing stand up. I
Speaker 2: can't get good enough with just like trying to really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I no, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't with what about stand up? I don't agree with you.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, yeah, you're as good as you
Speaker 1: do it as many times as you do it like that,
Speaker 1: if you do it a lot, you're amazing, and if
Speaker 1: you're not doing it a lot, you're not. Like that's
Speaker 1: just seems to be the way it works for everyone,
Speaker 1: and I think for you as well, and piano, are
Speaker 1: you reach a roadblock?
Speaker 2: It's just I just wish I was better every time
Speaker 2: I play, Like, God, why can't I play this faster?
Speaker 2: Why can't I play in tempo? Why can't Why do
Speaker 2: I keep messing this up? It's just like it just
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's the same way with anyone who's playing
Speaker 2: an instrument as an adult. It's just like, why, I
Speaker 2: just want to be better at this?
Speaker 1: And that's the reason I quit as a kid was
Speaker 1: because I didn't I wouldn't put up with that as
Speaker 1: a kid, because I didn't realize, like it's you need
Speaker 1: to be bad, Like it's okay to be bad. I'm
Speaker 1: more comfortable being bad, But it's just as like, I
Speaker 1: think you fuck up as much as a kid, But
Speaker 1: as a kid, I couldn't handle being bader than anything,
Speaker 1: and so I would quit and now I just keep
Speaker 1: going and just I'm like, I guess I just suck
Speaker 1: And this is gonna sound weird. All right, we have
Speaker 1: to go to break. We'll get to more of these
Speaker 1: numbers when.
Speaker 2: We get back.
Speaker 1: Okay, three, number three on things that he learned when
Speaker 1: he was seventy seventy two.
Speaker 3: This is like, seventy two is kind of young though,
Speaker 3: because like, I don't know about your parents, but my parents,
Speaker 3: my parents are like seventy two and they don't but
Speaker 3: they're not.
Speaker 1: This person is definitely in twelve step program and like
Speaker 1: has done a lot of work on themselves based on everything,
Speaker 1: the whole list. I wouldn't take this list from my parents,
Speaker 1: no offense to them. Yeah, but this person seems based
Speaker 1: on what we get into later, you'll see Okay, number
Speaker 1: three work on a passion project. Even just thirty minutes
Speaker 1: a day, it compounds. Yeah, that's piano for you, right, Brian,
Speaker 1: don't you play it like an hour day?
Speaker 2: I play well. Piano is also kind of like meditative,
Speaker 2: like I'll play for as long as possible and it
Speaker 2: just makes it calms me down.
Speaker 1: But what about when you start to suck and you
Speaker 1: feel frustrated. Does that calm you down? Or do you
Speaker 1: just play things that you feel comfortable doing?
Speaker 2: No, No, I push myself for sure. I think it
Speaker 2: calms me when I'm playing it, even if I suck,
Speaker 2: and really I get frustrated, like thinking about it later.
Speaker 2: Or when I get really frustrated is when there's a
Speaker 2: situation where there's a piano and there's in public or something,
Speaker 2: and like I can't because that's your Yeah, are.
Speaker 1: Able to play in public?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: For one song for thirty minutes? Okay? Sorry at.
Speaker 2: Forty Yeah, I just need to do three Taylor Swift songs
Speaker 2: or one Mozart concerto and sit down and do it.
Speaker 2: I can play songs, not like I have like a
Speaker 2: It's not like I'm just playing.
Speaker 1: I want to see you play. Do you ever bring
Speaker 1: in on the road with you like a little keyboard.
Speaker 2: No, I thought about it. There's a you can buy
Speaker 2: a foldable keyboard. Yeah. I was thinking about it for
Speaker 2: when we were doing f Boy, because I was like,
Speaker 2: it would be nice to have a piano, especially if
Speaker 2: there was like yeah for like that long of just
Speaker 2: like constantly being there in that place.
Speaker 1: M hmm, we could play I could play guitar with you.
Speaker 1: We could have jammed so.
Speaker 2: That I can do I think I can accompany.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, all right, Well that let's do F
Speaker 1: boy again. Let's see how it goes. Lovers and Liars
Speaker 1: April eleventh. By the way, people keep going, people keep
Speaker 1: writing and be like, congrats on your new show, and
Speaker 1: I keep bringing back what show? Like, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about, right, because first of all,
Speaker 1: we taped it so long ago that it doesn't make
Speaker 1: sense that it's even like coming out now. I mean,
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was less than a year ago, but
Speaker 1: it was September, you know. And so Lovers and Liars,
Speaker 1: which is practically F Girl Island, that's what we shot
Speaker 1: it as. The name is Jane is F Girl Island.
Speaker 1: Three guys looking for love. They were they were f
Speaker 1: boys and seasons prior, but now they actually want love
Speaker 1: and it's real. And then there are a bunch of
Speaker 1: girls and half of them are f girls and half
Speaker 1: of them are nice girls. And they guys have to
Speaker 1: decide who and the girls are. It's fucking nuts, dude's
Speaker 1: and we couldn't predict who was who. We all like
Speaker 1: played along it was so fun. It's gonna be good
Speaker 1: lovers and liars. That's what it's called. April eleventh on
Speaker 1: the CW. Okay, yeah, we're gonna do you work on
Speaker 1: a passion project? Noah, Yeah, I guess it's that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean now you don't you're pregnant so you can
Speaker 1: just take off. Yeah. I kind of hate this one.
Speaker 3: I don't like this kind of expectation because it's like,
Speaker 3: I don't know what my passion project is. I'm not
Speaker 3: passionate about anything.
Speaker 1: What I've never heard you say anything like that. What
Speaker 1: about jiu jitsu be jj?
Speaker 3: Yes, I love jiu jitsu. I guess maybe because I
Speaker 3: can't do it now. I feel so like pulled out
Speaker 3: of the world. Yeah, but besides that, I don't I mean,
Speaker 3: like I've gone through my guitar phase. I was obsessed
Speaker 3: with it, Brian. I can totally relate to what you're saying.
Speaker 3: I've done that, Like I play guitar for like twenty
Speaker 3: years and now I just like it's just like right
Speaker 3: there in the corner. I don't I got my custom
Speaker 3: guitar now I don't care about it.
Speaker 1: So it's like I've been just sitting in you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't care. I don't care about it, so
Speaker 1: you just don't. It doesn't inspire you at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what my passion is.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I only like playing.
Speaker 2: You could put it in the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Just thirty minutes on that thing a day,
Speaker 1: that's all you need to do. Yes, Someone that that
Speaker 1: day was like, what brings you joy? And I was like,
Speaker 1: and they're like, guitar, and I'm like, only if I'm
Speaker 1: in the mood for it, that's not something I reached for,
Speaker 1: and go, wow, I feel better now, Like I don't
Speaker 1: relate to Brian being like it calms you. If I'm
Speaker 1: in a good mood already, and I'm feeling a high
Speaker 1: level of self esteem and competency in my own self,
Speaker 1: then I can play guitar, because guitar makes me feel inadequate.
Speaker 1: And so if I'm already strong, I can pick up
Speaker 1: a guitar and go like, Okay, it's okay. I'm still
Speaker 1: a good person. But if I'm looking to feel good
Speaker 1: outside of myself, I would never pick up a guitar.
Speaker 1: It's only gonna make me feel worse.
Speaker 3: Yes, so what do you do, like if you're just
Speaker 3: kind of like, you know what? I want to feel
Speaker 3: joy right now. I'm gonna go do this because I
Speaker 3: really like it.
Speaker 1: I think I've been walking on a treadmill. I am
Speaker 1: obsessed with it. I can't every day because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get injured because I can't help. But like, I want
Speaker 1: to work up like a sweat and I hate when
Speaker 1: people brag about like I love exercising. So I really
Speaker 1: am sorry that I'm saying this. This is just a
Speaker 1: phase I'm going through where I don't. I just don't
Speaker 1: because I don't have anything to do and I cannot
Speaker 1: be still and I have so much work on my
Speaker 1: plate that I should be doing at any given moment.
Speaker 1: When I'm on a treadmill, I feel like I can't
Speaker 1: do other things, that I can only listen to music
Speaker 1: and disappear into it. That it's like an excuse to
Speaker 1: not do anything. Joy.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about avoiding stuff, but like, does it
Speaker 3: actually bring you, like, does it make you happy?
Speaker 1: It does?
Speaker 2: It does being on a plane where there's no Wi
Speaker 2: Fi or two.
Speaker 1: Anesthesia, Yes, that was awesome, sleeping napping, and I've been
Speaker 1: having really bad dreams. I think my body's like, we're
Speaker 1: not letting you get away with us anymore, because I've
Speaker 1: been having horrifying dreams because that's been my escape recently,
Speaker 1: going through a little bit of a down downward, uh
Speaker 1: not spiral, but like but just been feeling down recently
Speaker 1: and really like I can't figure out what to do
Speaker 1: with my time. Like I eat and then I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: then I'll nap. Okay, Now I'll go on a treadmill.
Speaker 1: Now I'll go do a pilates class, and then I'll
Speaker 1: feel accomplished after that and I won't feel the need
Speaker 1: to do anything else. There's I will have had a
Speaker 1: full day. Then I'll do therapy, and then after that
Speaker 1: I'll fel accomplished. But when I hang up the zoom
Speaker 1: call with a therapist, or when I walk out of
Speaker 1: the plate's class and I'm drenched in sweat, there is
Speaker 1: just another feeling of what's next? What are you going
Speaker 1: to do next? I don't know what to do in
Speaker 1: that time. I'm not unless there's a pedophile documentary, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like watching anything. I really and I heard
Speaker 1: there is going to be an extra quiet on set
Speaker 1: episode that they're adding about Drake Bell in addition, So
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about that. But I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know what to do with my time. I guess coloring
Speaker 1: books might be something to turn to books in general.
Speaker 1: I want to get involved in another book. This morning,
Speaker 1: I woke up and I read a bunch of articles
Speaker 1: in magazines that I wanted to read. I just don't
Speaker 1: know what to do to fill up my time.
Speaker 2: Maybe you need structure. I mean that's how I feel.
Speaker 2: Whenever I don't have a job. It's like the store,
Speaker 2: I feel a lot happier. Yeah, you need to go
Speaker 2: to that store and buy.
Speaker 1: Some gone since I started.
Speaker 2: Okay, whenever I don't have a job and I have
Speaker 2: to like be at an office or at least be
Speaker 2: in meetings from like nine am until five pm or
Speaker 2: longer with a full project, or like being on f
Speaker 2: boy or something like that, it I get depressed. I
Speaker 2: get like depressed three months after the job ends because
Speaker 2: I like the break. But then after too much of
Speaker 2: a break where there's nothing to do, where there's no structure,
Speaker 2: it I start to get depressed. And then you have
Speaker 2: to find your own structure, which is like really difficult
Speaker 2: to do on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: You need discipline for that. Yeah, yes, And I have discipline,
Speaker 1: like if I if it's on my calendar, I'm going
Speaker 1: to do it. Like I have a voice lesson day,
Speaker 1: I just went to pilates, I have this podcast. Those
Speaker 1: are my three hour chunks that have I'm going to
Speaker 1: dinner with my parents. But in those other hours that
Speaker 1: I'm awake, I'm really I'll probably walk an hour on
Speaker 1: a treadmill, just casually, but then I'll I'll probably go
Speaker 1: too art and then my knee will start hurting and
Speaker 1: I'll go, I have to stop. And then I'm like,
Speaker 1: that went out? What do I do? And then I'll
Speaker 1: try to do like a meditation, and then I'll get
Speaker 1: bored and like I think I'm just running from voices
Speaker 1: in my head. I just cannot believe. I just don't
Speaker 1: know what I I just need more friends or something.
Speaker 1: I need more phone calls. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I talk too much, and I gotta stop talking all
Speaker 1: the time, Like I talk for a living, and so
Speaker 1: when I'm not working, I need to be more quiet.
Speaker 1: So if anyone has some good ideas of stuff to
Speaker 1: do that really occupies your time, maybe collaging maybe like
Speaker 1: making a uh do.
Speaker 3: You have to be at home? Like would you rather
Speaker 3: be out?
Speaker 2: Go out?
Speaker 1: But a dog to walk or something?
Speaker 3: You can volunteer at the bird sanctuary in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: It's just another thing I'll be expected to do. Though,
Speaker 1: And then if I decide, like, here's the thing about
Speaker 1: lessons and like pilates and things that you take on
Speaker 1: that are extracurriculars. When you when your work does get
Speaker 1: busy again and you can't devote as much time to
Speaker 1: those things, those people take offense. And I know that
Speaker 1: it's not my problem that they do, but there's like
Speaker 1: a managing of there because they go, you could be
Speaker 1: so good at this if you just devoted the time.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, but I am not a professional plates
Speaker 1: Like no one's ever said that pilates.
Speaker 3: But yeah, volunteering, I think is a different mindset because
Speaker 3: they just appreciate even if you give like a half
Speaker 3: hour and that's it. They'll take anything. And then you
Speaker 3: could just play with birds and stuff.
Speaker 1: That'd be cool to clean bird cages and feel like
Speaker 1: that would actually make me feel like I did say
Speaker 1: it's idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Barack Obama is so in demand and busy that
Speaker 2: every single minute of his day is pretty much scheduled out,
Speaker 2: and he has just like people around him that are
Speaker 2: making sure he stays on schedule. And he has just
Speaker 2: a binder that he gets handed every week and then
Speaker 2: weekend that he has to like, here are the things
Speaker 2: you have to look through, and here's when you have
Speaker 2: to look through them. And so he even has to
Speaker 2: schedule and like and now two hours to be with
Speaker 2: my family into the schedule, because every minute of his
Speaker 2: life is worth, like, you know, twenty thousand dollars or whatever,
Speaker 2: So every little minute is schedule that everybody wants a piece.
Speaker 1: Yea's a lot, though I don't think you'd want your
Speaker 1: life if I'd like that, I'd honestly like that. I'd
Speaker 1: like it because I love my calendar when I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know, I have this and this, Like today it
Speaker 1: got a little messed up because I messed up on times,
Speaker 1: and I really don't like that I always leave a
Speaker 1: ten minute window to like walk to the next place,
Speaker 1: or like send an email in between, or pick up
Speaker 1: a coffee and then get there right on time. Everything's
Speaker 1: really regiment and I don't like having, like at the
Speaker 1: end of this podcast. I have a voiceless in it too,
Speaker 1: But we're kind of probably gonna end at like one twenty,
Speaker 1: and then that means I have twenty minutes before I
Speaker 1: have to get in the car, and I don't that
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. I'll probably just eat and I'm not even hungry.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what else. So let's think of
Speaker 1: something I can do in that twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: You can vocal warm ups. Oh god, you can write
Speaker 2: a schedule.
Speaker 1: I could write a schedule.
Speaker 2: Write a schedule for the rest of the day. See
Speaker 2: how it goes.
Speaker 1: Okay, But you can talk to me, Okay, I could
Speaker 1: talk to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could talk about podcast stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, that.
Speaker 1: Does not sound good to me. That's just like that
Speaker 1: that sounds stressful to me because it's stuff that I got.
Speaker 1: I avoid everything. This is the biggest problem in my
Speaker 1: relationship is that I don't ever want to talk about
Speaker 1: the future. I don't want to schedule things because I
Speaker 1: don't I like doing things. I like talking about what
Speaker 1: I have to do instantly. What do you say?
Speaker 3: This is the conundrum, Like, it is a schedule, but
Speaker 3: you don't love to schedule things.
Speaker 2: No, so you can't schedule things. That's why working on
Speaker 2: a show is perfect, because you need someone else to
Speaker 2: make the schedule and you don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: And then someone says you have to be here in
Speaker 2: five minutes, and right that.
Speaker 1: Finder to show up on my doorstep.
Speaker 2: You're not even thinking about this schedule. It's just I
Speaker 2: just finished my forty five minute speech to the Unhoused
Speaker 2: Committee or whatever, and now someone's like, all right, you
Speaker 2: got to go to Tacoma. And it's like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: And then you're on a plane Tacoma before you even
Speaker 2: know it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love that, Yeah, I just what do you
Speaker 1: do with these spaces when you guys have like twenty
Speaker 1: minutes to kill? If you like had twenty minutes before
Speaker 1: you need to go somewhere, like, what would you do? Uh?
Speaker 1: Really have nothing to do?
Speaker 2: Gamble on a sport? Usually? Also like what basketball game
Speaker 2: is happening right now? Can I play a bet on it?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh if.
Speaker 3: I had, yeah, probably like play with my cat or something,
Speaker 3: play with your.
Speaker 2: Yet sometimes I'll play with Noah's cats sometimes too.
Speaker 1: Hey, virtually, Okay, So I guess I have to get
Speaker 1: a gambling addiction or a pet yeah, I just that's
Speaker 1: that's I guess I could you know what, I could
Speaker 1: just tidy around my house.
Speaker 2: My house, you need an addiction can.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's something I don't need another one of
Speaker 1: those I got. Yeah. Okay, let's continue on this lift
Speaker 1: plait list. Okay for become a lifelong learner.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I like that.
Speaker 3: I think that goes well with like what sport coaches teach,
Speaker 3: or just like coaches in general teach, like be teachable.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Always people teacher always tells a story about some
Speaker 1: like amazing cellist or something. He's like the best cellist
Speaker 1: in the world or something, and he was ninety something
Speaker 1: and he's still practicing every day and they go, why
Speaker 1: are you practicing? Like you got it and he's like
Speaker 1: and his his response was I think I'm onto something.
Speaker 1: And I liked that, Like he was like, it's still
Speaker 1: got things, like there's always stuff to learn. And that's
Speaker 1: what they say about pilates too, is that you're constantly
Speaker 1: like it never gets easy. You're just like always raising
Speaker 1: the bar a little bit more. Which isn't that life
Speaker 1: that it's it's never You're never and nothing ever stays
Speaker 1: the same. You always have to change. There's always going
Speaker 1: to be a struggle. There's aways going to be a
Speaker 1: ch That is really annoying. Yeah, because you think when
Speaker 1: you find a partner and you find love and you
Speaker 1: both love each other and you get along so well,
Speaker 1: it'll just stay that way. Why wouldn't it, But it does.
Speaker 1: It You have to continually work, and then sometimes you
Speaker 1: divorce and then sometimes you don't like work. It through
Speaker 1: it like, it's just people change, Okay. Number five working
Speaker 1: from seven am to seven pm isn't productivity, it's guilt.
Speaker 2: Oh she sure works from.
Speaker 1: Seven am to seven pm. People do that.
Speaker 3: Dad used to Oh, I'm like, god, five am to
Speaker 3: like eleven pm.
Speaker 2: If you include the commute too.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's guilt. I think it's you're running
Speaker 1: from something or you are poor and that's the only
Speaker 1: way to survive now in broken society. But I don't
Speaker 1: think it's But yeah, I guess sometimes it's guilt.
Speaker 2: It's guilt if you are not if your work is
Speaker 2: not your passion. But if I was working from seven
Speaker 2: am to seven pm, that certainly isn't guilt, and I'd
Speaker 2: feel great about it and I'd be like, I'm just
Speaker 2: doing what I love and trying to day and trying
Speaker 2: to progress my career, yeah, every single day. But if
Speaker 2: you're working at an office for some other company and
Speaker 2: it's not what you care about, you know, companies don't
Speaker 2: care about you. I said this on the podcast before.
Speaker 2: But just as much as HR likes to make you
Speaker 2: feel good or whatever and they throw and they give
Speaker 2: you a free beer on Friday or whatever, they don't
Speaker 2: give a shit about you. And they'll fire you in
Speaker 2: an instant if it makes their bottom line better. And
Speaker 2: so if you're working from seven am to seven pm
Speaker 2: for some company, then yeah, then you're feeling like guilty
Speaker 2: or inadequate for some reason.
Speaker 1: Or you're just scared you'll lose your job and you
Speaker 1: won't find another.
Speaker 2: But you won't.
Speaker 1: Oh, you won't lose your job.
Speaker 2: No. That's the thing about these jobs is that you
Speaker 2: don't have to work half as hard as you think.
Speaker 2: Just look at your coworkers. Look at your coworkers. They're
Speaker 2: all idiots. Like, think about your co workers, think about
Speaker 2: how dumb they are and how much they fuck up,
Speaker 2: and realize that you could be doing that too. You
Speaker 2: still have a job. It's so hard to fire somebody.
Speaker 3: These days, and it's well, it's hard to an expensive
Speaker 3: and you know, timely to read, to like hire to
Speaker 3: fill a positions, So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fix what's there.
Speaker 1: Then the people are desperate to feel important and to
Speaker 1: feel needed. And so if they work hard and they
Speaker 1: take on other people's work and they feel and they
Speaker 1: don't take vacation days and they don't take sick days,
Speaker 1: it gives them a sense of purpose that they might
Speaker 1: not have other way otherwise in their lives. And I
Speaker 1: think that that's what some people hold on to, is
Speaker 1: like this place would fall apart without me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes these like corporate like assholes take advantage
Speaker 3: of people like that.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that feeling is what they is. How the capitalist
Speaker 2: pigs leverage.
Speaker 1: You, okay, to be really successful, become useful.
Speaker 2: I like that, Yeah, you gotta be useful, that's true.
Speaker 1: I like like applying it to comedy. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: if my comedy is just doing something else that someone
Speaker 1: has done, or uh, like it's just copying, Like what
Speaker 1: who did I watch?
Speaker 2: It was?
Speaker 1: I was watching some some art documentary or some documentary
Speaker 1: or or person online talking about being an artist creativity,
Speaker 1: and it's like, if you are just doing what other
Speaker 1: people are doing. No one needs that. That's not useful.
Speaker 1: We already have it. You have to bring something new.
Speaker 1: You have to have a your My comedy, my stylings
Speaker 1: have to be something that isn't derivative of anything else.
Speaker 1: And like it. I have to be irreplaceable and useful.
Speaker 2: But absolutely so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that one. So what was it again?
Speaker 1: To be really successful? Become useful? So instead of talking
Speaker 1: about to become I'm going to be great at this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the best at it. I just want
Speaker 1: to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, replace My whole career is I've just become I've
Speaker 2: made myself useful for people.
Speaker 1: Yes, you were very useful as like a writer, you
Speaker 1: are extraordinary, extraordinarily useful and encouraging as a comedic writer,
Speaker 1: I would say that good job on number six seven.
Speaker 1: Like houses in need of repair, problems usually don't fix themselves.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, ah yeah, Dan really threw houses under the bus.
Speaker 1: Well that's why I don't want to own a house
Speaker 1: because of this exact quote. And thank god there was
Speaker 1: a woman this weekend. She is an executive at Netflix
Speaker 1: that I met at Mark Twain and I've known her
Speaker 1: forever and she's one of the people that decides what
Speaker 1: goes on Nextflix, and I've she's been in the business
Speaker 1: for a really long time and we were talking about
Speaker 1: she owns a place in New York in LA and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm really ashamed that I don't own
Speaker 1: anything and I don't want to own anything, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what's wrong with me. And she was like,
Speaker 1: it's a scam. She was like, the reason everyone wants
Speaker 1: a home is because it's part of the American dream
Speaker 1: that everyone's been sold and it's not You don't need
Speaker 1: to own a home and it is a pain in
Speaker 1: the Asnikky, it sucks. It always needs something. And I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I can get other people to do that for me,
Speaker 1: and she goes, but you got to manage those people,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, damn straight, I do, bitch. She nailed it.
Speaker 1: I was like she understood what I was saying. Like
Speaker 1: people are like, but you don't have to you won't
Speaker 1: have to do that, you won't have to do this.
Speaker 1: You or even even Chris is like, I'll do that.
Speaker 1: I'll manage those people. And I'm like, but then I
Speaker 1: get less of you. Let's just live an apartment where
Speaker 1: you don't have to do any of that stuff, and
Speaker 1: we both have free time. Like it's not just about
Speaker 1: yeah you you and you have to decide what you want.
Speaker 1: You know, I want those I want my kitchen redone.
Speaker 2: But that's really the answer. That's your what what do
Speaker 2: you if you have twenty minutes before an appointment? What
Speaker 2: it is it that you need to do? Like that
Speaker 2: is always one hundred percent of the time filled with
Speaker 2: me doing something around the house, unloading the dishwasher, taking
Speaker 2: out the garbage, watering the play plants, you know, and
Speaker 2: if you have a house, there's unlimited things to do,
Speaker 2: so that might actually solve all your problems. If you
Speaker 2: own a house and you're just like, oh shit.
Speaker 1: I got a tons to do in my apartment though
Speaker 1: I could clean all the time.
Speaker 2: That's what Well, that's what you should be doing when
Speaker 2: you have twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1: To buy an apartment.
Speaker 2: Buy an apartment. Yeah, building, that's what your cousin said
Speaker 2: to me. What my cousin says, Well, you have like
Speaker 2: a cousin of a cousin or something who was that
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. And I had a conversation with him, and
Speaker 2: he owns two apartment buildings and he says, people think
Speaker 2: that they should save up their money and buy an apartment.
Speaker 2: I say, that's wrong. You got to buy an apartment building.
Speaker 2: And then streamers fell from the sky. I don't remember
Speaker 2: his name, baby, Yeah it was Chucky, but it was
Speaker 2: Bobby Chucky. I think something like that.
Speaker 1: I will say that I did have family in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: this weekend, and our files so many family Like my
Speaker 1: mom has seven union ten brothers and sisters. Nine brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters. My mom is the tenth or the seventh,
Speaker 1: but she's there's ten total, and Nancy, Jimmy, Michael, Julie,
Speaker 1: Tom or Peggy, Chucky, Bobby, Sally, Mom and Dad. I
Speaker 1: think I missed one in there, but anyway, they a
Speaker 1: lot of them were there. A lot of the cousins
Speaker 1: were there. But I do have an uncle who is
Speaker 1: in his sixties at least maybe seventies. Maybe wrote this list,
Speaker 1: but he's old and he's a man, right, and he
Speaker 1: brought like a young guy with him, like I think
Speaker 1: it was his like daughter's friends. Anyway, there was a
Speaker 1: twenty five ish year old man with my uncle, like
Speaker 1: in the group my uncle brought. My uncle brought some
Speaker 1: friends and one of this was like a strapping young
Speaker 1: lad who was like a cutie, right, like someone that
Speaker 1: you'd be like, wow, if you know, if that kid
Speaker 1: thinks I'm cool, I've got riz or whatever the fuck.
Speaker 1: And this kid, who's like this tall, handsome twenty five
Speaker 1: year old probably maybe twenty three to twenty four, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, early twenties, says to me backstage in
Speaker 1: front of Chucky, who is my uncle in his seventies,
Speaker 1: and in front of whatever young girl he was with,
Speaker 1: and then another guy and then another girl. We're all
Speaker 1: in like a circle. And he was like, you look
Speaker 1: so much like Chucky when you walk down on stage tonight.
Speaker 1: I just thought, oh my god, they have the same nose.
Speaker 1: And I look over at Chucky's nose and it is
Speaker 1: a old man's nose, a prominent Oh no offense, Chucky,
Speaker 1: if you're watching this, you got a honker and it's
Speaker 1: only gotten. It's bigger because you're an older man. And
Speaker 1: that's what happens to noses when they get bigger. And
Speaker 1: he said, you look identical to Chucky. I'm sorry, in
Speaker 1: what were what what woman wants to be compared to
Speaker 1: any sixty something year old man ever? In looks. I
Speaker 1: don't care what who the man is. This is no,
Speaker 1: there's non indictment on Chucky's looks. I don't want to
Speaker 1: look like an older man. And this guy said this,
Speaker 1: This kid said this and said and it wasn't just
Speaker 1: like you. I see his resemblance. It was like you.
Speaker 1: The second you walked down on stage, you looked so
Speaker 1: much like him. I was telling it. We all talked
Speaker 1: about it, and then I looked over at Chucky and
Speaker 1: I I saw it. I have and I had liked
Speaker 1: could it be just because I had not? I had
Speaker 1: not said anything. I hadn't talked yet. He said, as
Speaker 1: soon as you walked on stage, I said, that's Chucky. Wow,
Speaker 1: thanks thanks, and I just was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He didn't until maybe five minutes later he interrupted another
Speaker 1: conversation I was having with someone and said, by the way,
Speaker 1: I just want to say, you're really pretty, and I go,
Speaker 1: did your girlfriend tell you to say that? Because she was.
Speaker 2: Right as soon as you walked on stage, I was like,
Speaker 2: you will make this old couch I have in my apartment.
Speaker 1: That would have been better. No offense, Chucky, Like, honestly,
Speaker 1: it's just this is I wish I had a picture
Speaker 1: of Uncle Chucky. You just don't. A girl doesn't want
Speaker 1: to look like Uncle Chucky. Uncle Chucky, as I was
Speaker 1: a guy, I would want and I was a six
Speaker 1: year old man. Great, me up, I'll look like Uncle Chucky.
Speaker 1: And then let's just add another compliment, backhanded compliment to
Speaker 1: the fucking list. At the meet and greet, there was
Speaker 1: a friend of my parents who's now divorce, Like, my
Speaker 1: parents were friends with this guy and he divorced her,
Speaker 1: and no, I know he's dead, So I guess you
Speaker 1: know she's a widower. She's with someone else. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you could do that. So she was at
Speaker 1: the meet and greet and she came through and she
Speaker 1: walks up, and I'm just like, no, instantly, what's happening.
Speaker 1: I've known this woman since I was a little girl,
Speaker 1: And she was like, what happened to you? You used
Speaker 1: to be such a darling, quiet, sweet little girl, and
Speaker 1: now you're crazy. You're crazy, You're this crazy woman. And
Speaker 1: so now I know my act is giving crazy woman crazy,
Speaker 1: which I guess is any woman who has an opinion
Speaker 1: emphatic way, Yeah, I'm killing on stage in front of
Speaker 1: a crowd of I don't know, seventeen hundred two thousand
Speaker 1: people in my hometown and this woman has the audacity
Speaker 1: to call me crazy and look very disturbed at like
Speaker 1: what happened to you? Like honestly searching my face for answers,
Speaker 1: and I go, do you see Chucky? Because maybe that's
Speaker 1: what's happening to me, is that I'm starting to look
Speaker 1: like Chucky and I'm losing my fucking mind over it
Speaker 1: because I'm looking like my skin is falling off my
Speaker 1: skull and I'm angry about it, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: am going crazy, just like this was in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Also, yes, yes, someone.
Speaker 1: Calls me backstage because she was just the meet and greet.
Speaker 1: She wasn't she didn't go backstage, And.
Speaker 2: So you just you crushed by the way. You had
Speaker 2: one of the best sets I've seen you have. And
Speaker 2: then after the show people are like, you're you could
Speaker 2: look like a crazy uncle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like there was a lot of nice
Speaker 1: things too. I will say that my uncle TV, who
Speaker 1: is the funniest person I knew in my childhood. He
Speaker 1: was just remarkably funny still is just naturally he tried
Speaker 1: to do comedy. I think a couple of times. He
Speaker 1: did stand up a couple of times in the eighties nineties,
Speaker 1: and it just never took. He could have been great
Speaker 1: at it. He's just so funny, and I was so
Speaker 1: aware that he was there the whole time. His name
Speaker 1: is Bob, but he's my dad's best friend. He's how
Speaker 1: my dad and mom got together, well, not really well,
Speaker 1: kind of my dad's best friend all through childhood, and
Speaker 1: my mom was my uncle TV's sister. But because he
Speaker 1: was so I had such a great personality, was so funny.
Speaker 1: My dad nicknamed him TV, like you should be on TV.
Speaker 1: So now his name is TV, and that was a
Speaker 1: childhood nickname. But anyway, I knew TV was in the
Speaker 1: audience the whole time, and I was very aware of it.
Speaker 1: And I always get nervous when he's there because I
Speaker 1: just know that if I were him, i'd be like, man,
Speaker 1: I should be up there because I'm funnier than her,
Speaker 1: because he kind of is. He didn't think that though.
Speaker 1: He was like really proud and he'd like like he
Speaker 1: was like I could just tell he was really proud
Speaker 1: and like, so he was so sweet and just said
Speaker 1: all the right things, and there was I almost didn't
Speaker 1: want to see him because I didnt want to see
Speaker 1: any look of disappointment on his face of like you're
Speaker 1: too dirty or like that wasn't for me. The kind
Speaker 1: of shit that people did say, not knowing that they're
Speaker 1: hurting your feelings. But it ended up being he was
Speaker 1: very nice, so there were really nice compliments coming from
Speaker 1: all directions. My mom said it was the best that
Speaker 1: she's ever seen me had, and that was a perfect
Speaker 1: mixture of dirty and clean, not clean but like not
Speaker 1: too dirty. Even though I opened with talking about gangbangs
Speaker 1: and I just didn't even plan on doing that. It
Speaker 1: was oftentimes I'm in the middle of a bit and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh, what are you doing? Get me
Speaker 1: out of this. That's a normal feeling for comedian to have.
Speaker 1: It's like where you venture into a bit and you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't even care about this right now. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I'm doing this. It's probably like what it
Speaker 1: feels like when smash mouth sings like all Star or something.
Speaker 1: Even though the guy's dead. Probably what killed him. Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta go to break. We'll do go through more.
Speaker 2: Is going to get back?
Speaker 1: All right, We're back, and oh I love this one
Speaker 1: because it has to do with envy, which is my
Speaker 1: number one problem in my life. Okay, Envy is like
Speaker 1: drinking poison expecting the other person to die.
Speaker 2: Yeah, classic phrase, that's.
Speaker 1: A classic one, I know, but it doesn't never stay
Speaker 1: with me. The thing that stays with me about envy
Speaker 1: is the only sin of the how many sins are there? Seven?
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are, but the seven deadly sins, Envy
Speaker 1: is the only one that's no fun. There's no upside.
Speaker 1: All the other ones have like some fun involved. There's
Speaker 1: always a downside, obviously, I can't even I don't, uh, gluttony,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of seven.
Speaker 2: I don't think adultery fun, Yeah, that's really fun.
Speaker 1: Coveting someone's adu Well, coveting is coveting lust?
Speaker 2: Yeah, death lust is fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's mostly fun, the most fun.
Speaker 2: Which sin is the most fun?
Speaker 1: Sah lust? Sloth Oh, that's good? Yeah fun one, okay,
Speaker 1: sloth lust? What other do you say that when you're
Speaker 1: trying to go yeah, no, no, no, I'm not a guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, pride, fun read m loust, envy, and gluttony gluttony yes, okay,
Speaker 2: And then the one that everyone always forgets, which I'm
Speaker 2: not even one hundred for sure what this means. Wrath, Ah,
Speaker 2: what's just anger, that's just anger. It's a sin to
Speaker 2: be angry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. That's a good thing. I do like
Speaker 1: that they say that pride is a sin because everyone
Speaker 1: always is. Like That's the thing that I read about
Speaker 1: in that book Letting Go that I was obsessed with,
Speaker 1: is that they were like, let go of pride. Don't
Speaker 1: be proud of things. Don't be proud of yourself. Don't
Speaker 1: be proud of people. Don't be that's a bad thing
Speaker 1: to be. And it was the first time I'd ever
Speaker 1: heard that. But it isn't because pride is a sin,
Speaker 1: and I've obviously heard that before. But we don't ever
Speaker 1: act like pride is a sin. All we talk about
Speaker 1: is that you should be proud of yourselves. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I got done. I was so proud of myself. I'm
Speaker 1: proud of this. I'm proud of you. I want to
Speaker 1: make my parents proud, I want to make you like.
Speaker 1: Everything's about pride. But pride is not good to have
Speaker 1: it because it sets you up for failure. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: unless it's Unless it's pride like gay pride. Then that's good.
Speaker 2: Be humble. That's what Kendrick says. You know what, here's
Speaker 2: a definition for wrath. Wrath can be defined as uncontrolled
Speaker 2: feelings of anger, rage, and even hatred. Wrath often reveals
Speaker 2: itself in the wish to seek vengeance. So I guess
Speaker 2: I can see that that's.
Speaker 1: What it is. It's the vengeance. It's like the vengeful
Speaker 1: as controlled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like someone just truly unleashing. That's right. But being
Speaker 2: just regular angry, that can't be a sin. That's just
Speaker 2: an emotion that you feel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I think the idea with sinning is
Speaker 1: that we all are born doing it and we can't
Speaker 1: help and we will do it, and you know, it
Speaker 1: just anger. It's wrath.
Speaker 3: Like the definition of wrath is the vengeful anger, So
Speaker 3: I don't think. But it's not saying that you've taken it.
Speaker 1: It just sends that you want to have you Like,
Speaker 1: isn't there a difference between like daydreaming about hurting someone and.
Speaker 2: Actually offering reveals itself in the wish to seek vengeance.
Speaker 1: It's not saying you right, it's not saying you do it.
Speaker 1: It's just the wish.
Speaker 2: That's why they say like, if you just think about
Speaker 2: if just have homo erotic thoughts, that's a sin you
Speaker 2: have to right, that's what the Mormons say.
Speaker 1: Well, original sin that I learned about at youth camp,
Speaker 1: which they like they I went to this young life
Speaker 1: camp and I wasn't I was not raised with any religion,
Speaker 1: so I didn't know about original sin. But original sin
Speaker 1: is so fucked up. It's like they did this thing
Speaker 1: at youth camp, at a young Life camp and h
Speaker 1: where they the whole week they were like, we are
Speaker 1: going to talk to you about sin and about God's
Speaker 1: love and Jesus is forgiving you and at the very end,
Speaker 1: we're going to reveal something that's going to blow your mind.
Speaker 1: And we were like, Okay, what's the secret going to be?
Speaker 1: I was not buying in because my parents steeled me
Speaker 1: against any kind of messaging that I would get there
Speaker 1: because my parents are atheists and so they, you know,
Speaker 1: we're really like, do not fall for any of the talks.
Speaker 1: I just send you to that no way to go
Speaker 1: because all my friends were going, and it's just like
Speaker 1: it's a social thing and you sing songs and you
Speaker 1: make crafts and it's in we you know it's in
Speaker 1: a camp place in Wisconsin. It's just like with a
Speaker 1: bunch of high school students that you like flirty boy
Speaker 1: times and like girl hangs. It's great, but then the
Speaker 1: God you had to do the God talks. But at
Speaker 1: the very end they were like, here's here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We talked about sin, and we talked about how Jesus
Speaker 1: will forgive you. You're born with sin. So even if
Speaker 1: you think you've never sinned before, you you're born sinning.
Speaker 1: You have original sin just being born. You'll have these
Speaker 1: thoughts you're gonna have. You you're going to Hell no
Speaker 1: matter what. But there's a silver lining. You don't have
Speaker 1: to go to hell even though you are. You're on
Speaker 1: your way there right now. But you don't have to
Speaker 1: if you let Jesus into your heart and you ask
Speaker 1: him for forgiveness and you take Jesus's hand, he's stepping
Speaker 1: he's Jesus is on the water and you're in a
Speaker 1: boat and you have to step off the boat. And
Speaker 1: are you going to step off the boat? And they
Speaker 1: pass the mic around and they make everyone say I'm
Speaker 1: going to step off the boat and everyone's crying. Becoming
Speaker 1: a Christian and Taylor McGraw and I were drawing in
Speaker 1: a notebook making fun of people, and and we know
Speaker 1: we didn't get off the boat. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was really fucking tricky of them to all week talk
Speaker 1: about like these are what sinners are, and you guys aren't.
Speaker 1: Oh ways, second you are. You were as a baby,
Speaker 1: you were born with sin?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always say, solthy sinner.
Speaker 1: Do you know that? You know? Because babies go, that's
Speaker 1: why they're baptized. They like that means they'll go to
Speaker 1: heaven because they can't talk yet, so they can't repent, right,
Speaker 1: so they they if they die before they can talk,
Speaker 1: they still will go to he And because they were
Speaker 1: baptized or whatever, women that wanted to kill themselves back
Speaker 1: in the early ages, I don't know when exactly, they
Speaker 1: also had it in their minds that they killed themselves,
Speaker 1: they'll go to hell, right, because that's a sin, to
Speaker 1: kill yourself. So they didn't want to go to hell,
Speaker 1: but they were deeply depressed and wanted to die, right,
Speaker 1: So what would they do. They would take a baby
Speaker 1: that was newly baptized and throw it in a river.
Speaker 1: Throw it in a river, the baby would die. They
Speaker 1: would be tried for murder and they would be put
Speaker 1: to death. And that's how they would commit suicide. That
Speaker 1: is a real thing that would happen quite often. No,
Speaker 1: because they would ask for forgiveness. They would repent, and
Speaker 1: Jesus forgives all. So yeah, I think that's the rule.
Speaker 1: Jesus forgives everything. Jesus loves you. And so they would
Speaker 1: murder a baby because the baby was gonna go to heaven.
Speaker 1: They knew that, so it wasn't really they didn't really
Speaker 1: care that they murdered the baby. Literally, this life is
Speaker 1: just a waiting room to the afterlife. So they did
Speaker 1: that baby a service in their minds. They tossed a
Speaker 1: baby into a river, and then they would be tried
Speaker 1: for murder and then they would be put to death
Speaker 1: and burned at the sake or whatever the fuck would
Speaker 1: it hung and then it wouldn't be their fault that
Speaker 1: they died. Isn't that fucked up? And that's why you
Speaker 1: should send your kids to young life camp. Okay, final thought,
Speaker 1: Let's do a couple more.
Speaker 2: Think about all the sins a baby commits. Wrath, baby
Speaker 2: is constantly screen They're not vengeful though, Oh you never
Speaker 2: met you, Oh.
Speaker 1: Actually, toddlers are vengeful. Yes, rat pull your hair, call
Speaker 1: you ugly. The other day, Poppy goes, that's you, and
Speaker 1: she pointed out a woman that was not me. If
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. The only thing we had
Speaker 1: in common was blonde hair, and I said, why is
Speaker 1: that mean? She goes, that looks like you, and I go,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I like that. Why do I
Speaker 1: look like that? And they go because because you're fat.
Speaker 1: The woman was a fat woman, and I said, oh
Speaker 1: I am, and I go, that's actually awesome. I want
Speaker 1: to be fat. I think being fat is cool and
Speaker 1: that's a totally okay thing to be. I was like
Speaker 1: trying to obviously like make this not a because I
Speaker 1: know that they were just trying to be rude, but
Speaker 1: it bothered me that they thought calling me fat was
Speaker 1: funny or something. Nineteen Uh no, she's four, so she's
Speaker 1: already knows. She already knows that fat people are to
Speaker 1: be made fun of, I guess, and skinny people are
Speaker 1: better because that's what we've that's it's America. Baby's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: But I was just like, good, I want to be
Speaker 1: fat and I would love to look like that. Woman,
Speaker 1: and I think I sold it. I think she believed it. Okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they they're they're mean. Kids are mean. Don't
Speaker 1: hold onto your great idea until it's too late. Wait
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. Don't hold on to your great
Speaker 1: idea until it's too late. Tell someone that great idea
Speaker 1: and then let them make it. Like, if you have
Speaker 1: a great idea, do it. Don't let it find some
Speaker 1: other avenue, because.
Speaker 2: Sure at all for that one. Well, I just every
Speaker 2: time I have an idea, I try to execute it
Speaker 2: and it doesn't always succeed. And that's just the way
Speaker 2: it goes. I'm not one of these people who.
Speaker 1: Say, you do relate to it, you think that's a
Speaker 1: good idea.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, actually did happen to me because I had
Speaker 2: a great idea and I sat on it and then
Speaker 2: fucking Kevin Costner came in and he stole it from me. Yellowstone,
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Yellowstone. I had the idea for yellow
Speaker 2: No I do. My idea was to create a location
Speaker 2: based storytelling app where if you're driving, if you're on
Speaker 2: a road trip or something, and you drive past a
Speaker 2: location or a point of interest, then it will tell
Speaker 2: you a story based on that location while you're in
Speaker 2: that location and you can be Yeah, and Kevin Coster
Speaker 2: did it like like a year after I started talking
Speaker 2: to my lawyer about it, Kevin, thank god. Yeah, Kevin
Speaker 2: Coster came out with this the same app.
Speaker 1: Does your lawyer represent Kevin Costner?
Speaker 2: My lawyer is Kevin Coster. But that's that I don't
Speaker 2: see the connection.
Speaker 1: I did have a good idea for an app one time,
Speaker 1: and now I can't remember it.
Speaker 2: I do know that about it, yeah, you know. And
Speaker 2: it's the thing is, like, you don't want to be
Speaker 2: an app developer, Like, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Kevin cost a good idea for a fucking app?
Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
Speaker 1: Mine, my joking. One that was a good idea was
Speaker 1: one called last Scene in and it was a way
Speaker 1: to girls for girls to post their outfits of the day.
Speaker 1: But it was a way that if they posted it
Speaker 1: and they went missing, we would have a documentation of
Speaker 1: what they were last wearing. But it was a way
Speaker 1: to also so it was a way to find missing girls.
Speaker 1: It was a it was a nod to the fact
Speaker 1: that we're all future victims of crimes and possible kidnappings
Speaker 1: and uh being you know, put into a slave situation.
Speaker 1: But also it was a way to be like, this
Speaker 1: is my outfit of the day, and it's called last scene.
Speaker 1: You do it before you go for a run, you
Speaker 1: do it before you go on a date.
Speaker 2: I think that's hilarious. That's gonna it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: they try to make be real a thing, and that's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's working or not. It seems
Speaker 2: like somebody.
Speaker 1: Will still have be reels. Yeah, I like those. I
Speaker 1: like that some apps are just some people are on
Speaker 1: them and others are not. Yeah, I like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like this one a lot, and I need to
Speaker 1: think about it all the time. And this would have
Speaker 1: helped me at the Kevin Hart thing when I had
Speaker 1: a panic attack, because really that was all about me
Speaker 1: being extremely self centered and thinking that I am so
Speaker 1: important that anyone cares what I have to say. But
Speaker 1: it's hard not to feel that way when there are
Speaker 1: camera's on you and you're on a red carpet and
Speaker 1: there's microphones in your face. I will say that there
Speaker 1: is an illusion that people do give a fuck about
Speaker 1: what you have to say when that's all happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but number ten people aren't thinking about you as much
Speaker 1: as you think.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Taught me that.
Speaker 2: It's so upsetting, Really, it gives a shit about anything.
Speaker 1: It's upsetting when you realize how little people care about you.
Speaker 2: I guess people care about what we say on this
Speaker 2: podcast because.
Speaker 1: The only person that this does not apply to, and
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent sure of this, is Taylor Swift. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people are thinking about her way just as much like
Speaker 1: as she thinks. Yeah we are, I am, but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: how did I teach you?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: I guess I'm just interpreting it in like a much
Speaker 3: different way. And it's this, It's what we talked about
Speaker 3: yesterday with like the Glazier exit. And I just remember
Speaker 3: one time someone invited me to like a wedding, like
Speaker 3: a pre a bachelorette party or something like that, and
Speaker 3: you were just like and I just couldn't go. It
Speaker 3: was impossible for me to go, and I felt so terrible.
Speaker 1: And you said, do.
Speaker 3: You think that she's going to be thinking about you
Speaker 3: being there on her bachelorette party? You think that's going
Speaker 3: to make her break the fund of the party? And yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess, like no, that she's not going to think
Speaker 3: that until she.
Speaker 2: Finds joy and guilting people, then she might yeah.
Speaker 1: And then she's a you shouldn't go anyway, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a really good point. Like it. It sometimes to
Speaker 1: make my mom feel better because she'll be like wearing
Speaker 1: an outfit where she's like, I don't know, this is
Speaker 1: too much skin showing, and I go, no one cares,
Speaker 1: no one's looking at you, nobody nods like no one
Speaker 1: and she goes, that is so rude. She always gets
Speaker 1: really bad when I say that, and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: free her, and I don't realize what I'm telling her
Speaker 1: is that she doesn't matter, and that's not at all
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to, like, be like,
Speaker 1: people aren't obsessed. People aren't trying to look for negatives
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they see you, but they're not gonna like
Speaker 3: hone in on what you're pointing at right.
Speaker 2: Now, unless unless it's directly affecting them, like if you
Speaker 2: stink or something and you're sitting on a plane next
Speaker 2: to them, or oh yeah, and then they're thinking about
Speaker 2: you a lot, or if you're being rude or something.
Speaker 1: Man, I wasn't even close to doing it. But boy
Speaker 1: did I fantasize the other day when I was sitting
Speaker 1: on a plane with Matt and Anya, they smelled it too.
Speaker 1: It was just the whole section of our plane, just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: someone in this area to look into changing up your deodorant,
Speaker 1: showering more often, and cleaning your clothes. You smell really,
Speaker 1: really bad. And it's not a crime. We all smell bad,
Speaker 1: but you just need to update your hygiene, you know, schedule.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that very kindly, like just
Speaker 1: into the because we didn't know who it was. It
Speaker 1: was so permeating every there was no there was no
Speaker 1: way that there's no nucleus of it. It was everywhere.
Speaker 1: But who's going to tell that person? Not you? That
Speaker 1: was kind of too uh.
Speaker 2: This is why bullying is a good thing sometimes, and
Speaker 2: like because you do learn stuff about yourself. An elementary
Speaker 2: school in middle school when those kids are being mean,
Speaker 2: sometimes they're telling you something you need to eat.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like your breath is bad, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: why didn't anyone else tell me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That goes back to what the list was saying about,
Speaker 3: like it not be life not being too easy or
Speaker 3: things not being too easy and stuff like that. That's
Speaker 3: a difficulty which seems like, oh my god, I never
Speaker 3: want my children to be bullied. I never want to
Speaker 3: be bullied, but like it kind of gives you a little.
Speaker 1: Bit of Yeah. David Beckham. I was watching a clip
Speaker 1: of him yesterday with James Gordon and they were talking
Speaker 1: about how his dad never said good job ever until
Speaker 1: he won his like tenth cup. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what that means, literally his tenth cup and his dad goes,
Speaker 1: you did it. He had never once heard good game
Speaker 1: from his dad. You played well today, ever, And his
Speaker 1: dad was like his he was there for everything, and
Speaker 1: he said because and he was like, he has to
Speaker 1: spin it now to be grateful, even though I think
Speaker 1: that was so crazy if you watch the Beckham documentary,
Speaker 1: his dad was just way too harsh. Did it make
Speaker 1: him incredible? Yes, didn't make him able to so when
Speaker 1: when the whole nation hated him, when when people were
Speaker 1: spinning on him in the street, and his teammates hated
Speaker 1: him and all these things, he said, it didn't. I
Speaker 1: could just put my head down and work because I
Speaker 1: already the person who was not giving me what I
Speaker 1: needed my whole entire childhood I just had to make
Speaker 1: do with not get not caring what people thought, because
Speaker 1: if I cared even a little bit, the fact that
Speaker 1: my dad he didn't say this, but the fact that
Speaker 1: his dad didn't give him the love that he needed
Speaker 1: was so devastating that he just did. It made him
Speaker 1: strong and it absolutely made him who he is. But
Speaker 1: would I ever wish that on another kid? No? No,
Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard to determine what to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: and finally we'll just go to the very end. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: let me find a good one. Oh this is oh yeah, right, okay.
Speaker 1: Number twenty eight. Never criticize, blame, or complain.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, never never.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you think of anyone who doesn't who
Speaker 1: doesn't do any of those? Can you even just a
Speaker 1: person that doesn't do one of those? I mean, you
Speaker 1: would be in criticized, blame or complain. Never criticize. I'm
Speaker 1: getting better at.
Speaker 3: I really like I want to strive to be that
Speaker 3: kind of person, but I know that I'm imperfect and
Speaker 3: I will never complain.
Speaker 2: Like, criticizing your own work and things like that is
Speaker 2: the key to achieving greatness. So like you do need
Speaker 2: to criticize, you say.
Speaker 1: Means though you're like disappointed and you're mad, Like you
Speaker 1: can be critical, but to criticize and like put yourself
Speaker 1: down is not. I don't think helpful blame, blame, or complain.
Speaker 1: I am getting better about the criticized thing I was
Speaker 1: about to make fun of. I think I've stopped myself
Speaker 1: within the past week seven different times from sending dms
Speaker 1: to either Anya, you guys, or Chris making fun of
Speaker 1: something that I am feeling slightly jealous of or slightly
Speaker 1: like they tried to do something that I would want
Speaker 1: to do but they failed doing it. Let's make fun
Speaker 1: of them so that I don't ever have to do that,
Speaker 1: because I know that people will make fun of me
Speaker 1: in this way. So I've stopped myself from doing that
Speaker 1: so many times. I really invite other people to try.
Speaker 1: When you want to make fun of someone, if you
Speaker 1: really want to, you'll want to tomorrow. Just put it
Speaker 1: off till tomorrow. Just stop yourself in the moment, and
Speaker 1: if you really want to do it the next day,
Speaker 1: and then you will have deserved it because you will
Speaker 1: sat on it and been like, no, I deserve to
Speaker 1: complain about this thing or bitch about this thing. But
Speaker 1: just stop yourself in the moment of making fun of
Speaker 1: or criticizing things for one hour.
Speaker 2: It's so tough.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can do it, but I really
Speaker 1: I think that's an important one to leave on because
Speaker 1: that's the one I want to work on the most.
Speaker 2: It's satisfying. It's addictive to sit there and make fun
Speaker 2: of things, to criticize things, it feels good.
Speaker 1: My new thing is not criticizing myself, like I just
Speaker 1: am not allowed to do it, even though I want
Speaker 1: to do it, and secretly I know that I could.
Speaker 1: I do it like kind of sneakily, like I think
Speaker 1: about it, but I don't like go into it too hard.
Speaker 1: I mean I do, but like when I'm weakened, but
Speaker 1: most of the time, when I'm like strong enough, I
Speaker 1: don't allow myself to do it. But I'm still like
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about it, but I just won't. I
Speaker 1: can't indulgence it as much as I want to. The
Speaker 1: Heidi Preeb my new favorite girl on YouTube. I've talked
Speaker 1: about her before. She is this thing where she was like,
Speaker 1: you just have to have your own back, And so
Speaker 1: my new thing is looking at myself in the mirror
Speaker 1: and just being like I got you, like no one
Speaker 1: else has you. You can't count on anyone else in
Speaker 1: your life. And that's not me being like, you can't
Speaker 1: count on anyone, you only have yourself. But you truly
Speaker 1: only have yourself. You literally are going to lose everyone
Speaker 1: you love in life, they're going to lose you. You
Speaker 1: only have yourself till the very end, So you can't.
Speaker 1: You can. You can be a disappoint in yourself, you
Speaker 1: can criticize yourself, you can feel all these things about yourself,
Speaker 1: but you can't give up on yourself. You always have
Speaker 1: to be like, yes, I don't like what you just did. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't like how you look today. Yes I'm disappointed
Speaker 1: in how you've behaved this week or how you behave
Speaker 1: just now. But I'm not gonna I'm still gonna stay
Speaker 1: with you. I'm still I'm not gonna check out. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna give up on you. And I feel like
Speaker 1: it's like being in a shitty marriage where you're like,
Speaker 1: I can't I'm not going to give up on this,
Speaker 1: even though it's like I'm really upset and I want
Speaker 1: to get out and I want to abandon you, and
Speaker 1: I don't know quite what that means yet to me,
Speaker 1: but it's something that's kind of stuck with me. That
Speaker 1: isn't like love yourself, even I hate the thing that's like, well,
Speaker 1: if you can't love yourself, accept yourself, I don't know
Speaker 1: the difference between the two. They aren't clicking for me.
Speaker 1: It doesn't help to hear that. What does help for me,
Speaker 1: for some reason, is you don't get to abandon yourself.
Speaker 1: You don't get to just check out and let yourself
Speaker 1: like a toddler, just wander off into traffic. You still
Speaker 1: gotta hold that toddler's hand, even if you're disappointed. You
Speaker 1: don't know why you have this toddler. You're so sick
Speaker 1: of it. It's draining all your time. You don't even
Speaker 1: like the way it looks, you don't even like the
Speaker 1: way it acts. Is you're so disappointed in what you have,
Speaker 1: you have to hold that toddler's hand as across as
Speaker 1: the street, even if you're mad about it. And I
Speaker 1: kind of liked that imagery. Yeah, so I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: on that. Everyone have a great weekend. We are gonna
Speaker 1: be on tour again. I'm Intoert Ronert City, I think
Speaker 1: Ronert Park. Sorry, California. It's Casino and then I am
