BNCMAP For Once

The conversation blends personal anecdotes, humor, and deep reflection on daily life, health, and identity. The host shares vivid experiences of weather, home environments, and bodily sensations—like the hot pipes in the bathroom or a spicy wellness shot that escaped through the nose—highlighting both comfort and discomfort. There’s a playful exploration of how the body works, with the immune system likened to a team and organs imagined as individual entities. A creative segment assigns colors to days of the week, sparking a broader interest in brain patterns and personal insight tests. Central to the dialogue is a reflective meditation on aging, with the host expressing fear and curiosity about growing older, while also embracing vulnerability through shared experiences. A key theme emerges around Mercury retrograde, advising caution in emotional and major life decisions due to heightened sensitivity. The conversation also touches on cultural norms—like handkerchief use or restaurant etiquette—and personal habits, such as phone usage and haircuts. Throughout, a tone of warmth, self-awareness, and lighthearted curiosity dominates, turning everyday moments into meaningful reflections on identity, connection, and the human experience.

Who was that vision and denim over there overseas? I'm in a tux. Oh my gosh, let's take this, let's take this thing north of the border for a second, do you mind? Yeah, I'm doing Canadian tux, it's only going to be 79 today, so. Are you serious? It was 85 yesterday. Beach, beach weather. Imagine me seeing all the snapchats of everybody cozyed up in New York. It's raining, it's snowing in Chicago, we'll just do 85. And I'm not complaining because I did sign up for this and I do love the climate. But just sometimes it's like a punch to the gut. I know, I get it. That's what I always thought that when I was there, I was like, I miss the way that the weather app is completely obsolete and L.A. is so, so crazy. It is going to be in the 60s later this week, which will be amazing and it's so amazing. And it's a day. I had to get out my puffer today, yeah, hawk dirty to me. Yeah, I slept in something a wee bit more comfortable, my puffer and then guess what, do you like the person you are when you put on the uggs? Are you doing uggs right now? I didn't, I can't do uggs right now because the thing about my apartment is that they turned on the heat and that's against my own will and I don't know. And so now my AC and my heat, which like my heat is like a mystery goblin that like comes and goes as it wants, I never signed up for heat. I know he is amazing blessing to, you know, but like shut the fuck up about it. It is the loudest, most chang, chang, chang. It turns on all night and it goes clank, clank, clank, clank. I don't even know. That's what you have a radiator. Yeah, I have like six radiators and then my hot pipes that are everything. I know your hot pipes. I used to put and like, I'm sure this is a fire hazard like y'all don't even need to come for me. But my towels on the hot pipes and the radiator and when I would come out of the shower, the towel would be like spa hot. So that's like something to think about. I had not considered that as an option. Yeah, it was amazing. The hot pipe in my bathroom is working overtime. The thing is it gets just a little bit too hot to the point where I'm getting a cold and I can feel myself getting, I'm going to get a fever because I'm going to get sick because I'm going in and out of this. I think that's a myth. I think so too. Yeah. Maybe like a stream, extreme like frostbite cold will make you sick, but like when moms are like don't go out in the rain, you'll catch a cold. Like I don't think you will. Wow. That mom, whatever, whatever mom made up that wives tale and then whatever Drew Mary Moore was on, Molly, probably when she was outside in that rain storm, they should get into it together because they would have a head day. Yeah. It's just a wives tale. Moms against moms against going out in the rain versus Drew Mary Moore in a court case. Cold weather can increase your chances of getting sick by weakening your immune system and making it easier for viruses to enter your body. You're fine. I don't think my immune system has ever been 100% but I'm doing the best I can. And so is it. Do you think about, do you think about your body and all of its parts, it's like their own little individual pieces, like when you start to think about your body and death, it's a little bit too much. I think about my immune system as like group of people that like are working on something and like, I sometimes I make things harder for them and I'm like, yeah, or like, you don't want to have Chipotle and it's like, well, my stomach just better pick up the pick it up down there. I don't, I'm already going to eat, I already, I already am mom away there and I'm going to get it and I'm going to get queso on it and I'm going to just try to cheese on top of the queso. I can do that. That's my right. But it's something that my stomach's going to have to deal with, not me, you know? Do you know what I mean? In a way. Like do you think of like your organs as their own entities? Sometimes if I step my toe, I'm like, that's annoying of my toe. No, I think I kind of think of my of my body as a whole. Really? This has been fascinating because I, what was I talking to you recently? Like when I think about like the months of the- Go, my stomach does have a minute with them. My stomach's going, going rogue. I think of like the months of the year, maybe not as much of the months of the year, but like, when I'm writing like a joke, the structure of the joke is in shapes. I don't know how to explain it. I won't be able to explain it, but someone else was explaining the way that they write jokes and they're like, what are you talking about? It's just a sentence and I was like, oh, but it's not. What are your colors that correspond to each day of the week? So I was so scared you're going to ask the subjects and I was like, we're not going to be a podcast that asks like the school subjects colors. No, no, no. Like the days that I just like see like Monday is blue. Okay. Tuesday. Yellow? Yep. Yep. So far. Wow. Pink, Wednesday is like pink, I feel like it could be, it's round to me. It's a circle. No. Wednesday is a triangle. Wednesday or a triangle, but it's definitely one thing Wednesday is not a square. No, that's not what we can agree on. Yeah. I think we can all, I could see Wednesday being a little triangular because it's not quite round. Um, I don't know, but I also think Thursday could be dry. Could be orange in that. I was thinking orange. Okay. You. Okay. Orange or salmon. I like salmon. If we can land on salmon, I think Thursday could be orange. I think Thursday's purple or magenta. Okay. I can, I can run my head around purple for Thursday. Friday. I'm not going to like whatever you green green for Friday. Yeah. But it's more of like a lighter green than you might be used to or a deep one. I could see it maybe in an olive or not olive. Oh my gosh. I think either like forest or more like light tree tree leaf. Okay. What is I don't know what's that? I think Saturday would be yellow for me, and then Sunday would be like violet. Saturday. I'm like back to it. Like Saturday is like light blue, whereas Monday is like deep blue. And then Sundays of like, I don't know why I'm seeing Sundays like such a light pink that it's almost beige, like a nude. A beige Sunday sounds kind of lovely. Monday is a complete nude. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Ooh. That's my shit right there. I would love like a online test where you like fill out like what colors correspond to things in your brain. And then the test tells you like what that says about how your brain works. Yeah. That'd be fascinating. It's almost like I don't want to know. There should be more tests to tell me how my brain works. Do you want that? Wow. Yeah. Because if I know how it works, maybe I could navigate it. I'm liking raw dog in the brain situation. No. I wouldn't you like want to know how it works so you can follow strategies that are like meant for your specific brain and how to cope with its flaws. You think I want one more strategy in this life? I think you could use a strategy. For Virgos, I'm reading this off of the board right off of the truck right now. For Virgos, this mercury retrograde is all about slowing down, turning inward and refining your routines instead of rushing ahead. So I think you can do some refining. So the here are some good moves for you. Review rather than start. Use this time frame to go over past ideas, old projects and unfinished business. I think that's an amazing thing for you to do and in deep rest and reflection. It's this may be more of an introspective period for you. Carve out space for meditation, journaling, dream work and quiet time. You might need a hobo Nietzsche. It sounds like it might be needing a hobo Nietzsche. You might be needing a hobo Nietzsche. I told you me and Matt, wait, last episode of me and Matt were going. Mm-hmm. Okay. We went and hobo Nietzsche shopping. You should have come. You should have fun for that. No. But maybe when you guys have sort of like the reins of your hobos, Nietzsche's near Nietzsche's, you got your Nietzsche's in your hobos. Maybe you guys could take me, maybe show me the ropes when I get out there. I bet honestly, there's so much more like stationary options in New York. It was kind of a bust, honestly, here. Oh, no. To be in your car and parking and getting out for it to maybe find your HN, that's something that. It was almost a complete lot of work shit. You got one though? Well, I got it. I had ordered it online and I was going to get more accessories and see what sparked my eye. I barely got a thing. Connor, I got one sticker. Oh, that pissed me off. But. You got a sticker? I got a sticker because I want to decorate my hobo Nietzsche. Yeah. Did you know about sticker, um, planet? Yeah. No, where is it? Online. Nope. There's a massive sticker store in the farmer's market of the Grove. Oh, I'm not familiar. I have yet to go, but I'm obviously going to go now that I'm on sticker talk and all that shit. There's a massive sticker imporium in the farmer's market of the Grove. So that's where I'm gonna get my fingers for my hands. - No, but Nietzsche, I'm so excited. - What's going down on Sticker? - There's nothing they don't have with the Grove, I'm serious. - The Grove is cool. It does seem like every time I'm there, I find a new little pocket or corner. - Exactly. Like I haven't even walked past Sticker, Emporium, planet. - Galaxy. - Yeah. - I still love Stickers, man. This is actually my first apartment. This is my first apartment where I don't have like a dedicated area to put stickers on. - Whoa. - Since I was born, my mom allowed me my space in my room inside my closet, on the inside of the door to do my stickers. - Oh, that's a good mom. - Yeah, it's a great year's creative space. - Yeah, it's so interesting that yeah. 'Cause I'm cluttered, but my clutter is in one place. So I can have my clutter areas, like my shelving now is my clutter area. My friend used to, would fill her walls every inch of them with duct tape murals. - I don't know what that is. - Like duct tape, it was like insane. Like think about like a huge like color by number. And like she would make murals out of duct tape, like all different colors. And it would actually come out. Like the whole wall would be a mural. - That would stress me out, but that is cool that she did that. - Yeah, some people are really creative. Some people can't, and you're allowed to be in this day and age. - You totally can be. Anyway, how was your weekend and shit like that? - I was in Philly. - Ah, that looks beautiful. - Philly was really showing out this weekend. It was so great. I was walking through, I walked all around Philly 'cause I had the whole day. - Where did you walk on Saturday? I walked from a fish town. - Okay. - And I walked all the way across from the water to the water. - Okay. - And I don't know what waters those were. - Fish town? Like I am not really familiar with fish town at all or where it is in reference to anywhere else. 'Cause I feel like fish town randomly just sprouted up like when I was in college. - Fish town is like 3D printed. It is cool, but it's also in pot. Like I don't understand it at all. It was like every-- - I don't understand fish. - Every, there was no, I couldn't get a read on it. - I can't, I'm right there with you. - But I was walking through Philly and I was like, this is like not a hill, low key. Like it was very, very like not downtown London. - Sometimes when you're walking through Philly, you're like, yeah, this was one of the original 13 colonies. - I forgot that. I completely forgot that that was like one of the first ones. - Yeah, it's kind of beautiful. That's what I don't, we don't have an LA history. - Something is living in my walls unless it's a heat turning on. Can you hear that? - You know who's living in the walls, spoiler alert. Ah, actually I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna say. But it's an amazing piece of film. - Frankenstein? - No. But just let's just say one of my favorite movies, let's just say someone's living in the walls. I did watch Frankenstein a little bit. - The new one? - Yeah. I only made it halfway because it's about 16 hours. - Why are they doing that? - And when I stopped watching probably like an hour and a half in, and Jacobalorty just started. Like he wasn't animated to life. - Oh. - That's redundant, but he wasn't brought to life until like 130. - Yeah, that's not gonna work for me. I know I look forward to seeing him a little bit sooner. - That face of his in the Frankenstein thing, it's really not sitting right with me. It's making me, it's giving me kind of that visceral feeling where I'm like. - Oh, I still, I feel like he's still hot. - That hit. - Mark my words, we're gonna see like one out of four people as him for next Halloween. - I don't think so. - Mark my words. - It's like still, it's basically still Halloween right now. - No, but it's not. And so people are gonna be like, oh, this is such a good idea because it happened so long ago. No one's gonna be thinking about it, but this time next year. But I think everyone will be. - I've been Frankenstein like 15 times for Halloween. - You haven't been in this Frankenstein. - I don't wanna be that Frankenstein. - It's specific, like he has a specific little number going on. - He looks like when you forget about meat in the fridge for a long time. And then you're like, oh my God. - Also, I don't understand how this hasn't been done before, like reanimating a human. - He looks like evil, it's not awesome. - It's not awesome. - Evil gotcha, but you didn't want to do that. - When Oscar Isaac was explaining like how he was bringing this person back to life. Obviously, I like got a 59 on most of my physics. - Is he, please. - But I was like, but I was like, yeah, Oscar Isaac, this makes sense to me. Like why haven't we done this? Like I feel like I could do it. - Do what? - Reanimate a person. Like it doesn't make sense to how we haven't done it 'cause when he was explaining it, I was like, yeah, champ, sounds good to me. - I don't think you have it any year to reanimate a person. - But someone should, that's what I'm saying. Like when he was, like the fact that we have the knowledge to create a fictional version. Like someone knows enough, Mary Shelley knew enough and all these people rewriting these screenplays know enough to at least explain the science behind reanimating a person. So like why can't scientists take that and do a little bit more, apply knife socks side to it, put it in park, triple it, Frankenstein. I mean, if we're talking, if we're talking dead ass right now, you could take someone's body, upload every video of them from social media or whatever and then AI yet and make that, like that just like, but it wouldn't be like a living thing. - I'm not talking about AI. I'm talking about genuinely rebooting the circulatory system. I think it doesn't make sense to me that we haven't done it. - You know what, I wanna apologize to you. - Yeah. - I wanna apologize to you right now. I am stepping on your toes. Like I am sur Isaac Newton. I don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah. - Right. - Reanimate to him. - Leave it to the experts. - I triple dog dare you to read it. See if I give a sh-- - I'm not saying I could, even though yes, a few minutes ago, I said I could. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that someone should be able to, we have enough knowledge to put it into the practice. - Here's the thing. You've now reanimated someone. Something that someone hasn't done since. - Sure, it is different than code. - What did I say? - I'm just saying, like, just because someone could, doesn't mean we should, but I'm saying someone could do it. And so why haven't they? - Sure to code a wood. I think that's probably the principal at play. But I think if you are going to reanimate someone, which hasn't happened since biblical times, maybe spend a little time on the cosmetics. Why make him scary? Why not make? - I think it just wasn't his main priority was bringing someone's alive. - Well, I'm so shallow how. - We would need a plastic surgeon like on board. - Just send him over to Ulta. First mission, Ulta, get some, get some, just fix like there shouldn't be so many things on his going on. Was it just-- - Well, he think about like every single part is from a different, like he's got so many different parts on him, from so many different bodies. - Body's bodies bodies. - 'Cause he was collecting bodies from the war. And just do many years and years and years. There's a leg here, here's a torso. So-- - I haven't seen the movie. - Yeah, I'm just letting you know. - Okay, I mean, now like here's the way my brain works. I'm like poking holes in the Frankenstein plot line which is just simply not a real movie anyways. But like why, if he was collecting bodies from the war, like why not just go dig one up and get to all of it is there. Make it easier on yourself. - He was looking for someone with really long limbs. So I think he was like finding the longest bit of everyone. If you know what I mean, I'm kidding. I actually don't know what's under there for Frankenstein. - Yeah. I'm just saying like, I don't know, maybe it was 'cause I had a gummy but Oscar Isaac was telling me how to do this. And it's like if we know how to do it in a way, let's just do it. - I'm on your side now, you did win me over during this conversation. I agree. - Okay. - Well, who would you want to, what would be the purpose for you to bring to animate like a corpse? - I'm not good. I would actually probably bring my grandparents back. They are immortal but like God forbid, something would happen. I would bring them back. Or I would not like to be brought back in a Frankenstein, would you? - I'm just kind of like, I never thought about Frankenstein in depth like this. - So I don't really know, what is he up to? - What is you, like your brain? Where is your soul? - I don't know where your soul lives inside of your body. - I picture souls like Scooby Doo, the spooky island, like when they were kind of flying all around and entering each other's bodies. - See, I picture the soul like right in the center of my stomach area. Yes. because that means like when I eat Chipotle it's like sitting there next to my soul which is like that's so weird but um because then you have your heart and then you have your brain which is so creepy and I don't want to talk about this anymore okay um what I will say is that someone DN min said you look exactly like Mary Shelley and then I looked at Mary Shelley and then that changed the way my weekend played out let me see Mary show me Mary Shelley come on out Mary Shelley you don't look like Mary Shelley also we don't even know if Mary Shelley looks like that all of the images seem pretty much accurate with that one I don't look different than others I don't look like that I hope no offense Mary if you're watching I feel like there was maybe just like one painting of her and then people went off of that one painting oh who's Mary Shelley in the movie I'm sorry Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein oh sorry it's a good question it was a good question thank you for asking I thought that was like the wife Frank yeah no all good I don't want to make you feel like you can't ask questions no it's okay I was like what what it's so good about this um all right all right Mary Shelley is she one of your women that you look up to sure I do think it's so awesome that a woman wrote Frankenstein because I guess you just wouldn't expect it I wouldn't they've expected it at all yeah I love beings I love surprises especially when they come from powerful woman women I get very tripped up on that word you know that women woman woman versus women I really get confused because I had been pronouncing them the same my whole life until someone on the pod like very early on was like you're not saying these right and I was like you're so right but now I sometimes I still get confused it's okay to be confused but it's not confusing also but I think is it is it's just the way that you're pronouncing it what what's tripping you I used to say woman across the board well the way that people in Philly pronounce their a is like I would I do understand how like that is hard that doesn't make sense because listen to how it sounds a group of woman like yeah that's wrong but that's what I would say so it's yeah but why would it be women that's not how it's spelled women um spell it w i m i n if that's what you want me to say oh yeah you're making some super valid points today thanks um um I don't know maybe we could yeah if anyone can help out there let us let a bitch know let a woman know let a little women like me know little women is that how you would say that little women yeah why are we saying women I don't know it's just like no one told me that until recently don't even stress out about it um I'm just like feeling a little bit proud of myself because before you got here before the episode I made a phone call to the hairdresser and that's a good thing for two reasons one after I got my bangs last week I cut them again myself and I did something pretty bad I don't know I wanted more and so for whatever reason I cut like a chunk from the top of my head and now there's like a random like piece of really short hair coming out of the middle of my scalp that I don't like um so I called to get that fix today which is good because one I made a phone call and I don't like to do that too I was feeling too embarrassed that I did that and so I wasn't I was just gonna let it be but you know what no life is too short to have a botched haircut yeah so I advocated for myself on the phone did you admit to them that yeah he said I said hi and does Carla have any time for a bang trim and he said let me go check I said you can just let her know if you want to prepare her that I cut them myself and it looks really bad and he said got it was she offended I don't think so I didn't talk to her directly I really she's a great person so I don't think she will be I would yeah I'm just gonna tell her like you did such a good job I wanted more which is the truth I couldn't get after that first hit I couldn't get enough you gave me and what's annoying about that is I thought I was being so good and I was by being patient enough to wait for a haircut appointment because I wanted to do them myself before but I was so good and booked an appointment and she did amazing and then and then I took matters into my own hands you I mean you can't be you can't be cutting your own hair because it's supposed to grow out of certain way I learned that you can't be cutting your own hair unless you're good at cutting hair yeah that's you I don't think it's a new man that's like a male man situation like a man there's a new male man that delivers your male man's male like he's delivering it to your house and while he's gone there's a different male man he's not delivering his own male I don't think unless he's your neighbor what you're saying that a hairdresser gets someone to cut their hair yeah I know a lot of hairdressers that cut their own hair they're not doing the old reach around I guess they're just doing bang trims yeah my hair is to a place where if I fell down the stairs I it wouldn't hurt my head I wouldn't it's so so how much out of control and huge under this beanie that I look like I have the suds right now it's like kind of do feel that way yeah it's it's so big I need to go I need to get it cut a little bit smaller hair so big hair so big need smaller needs to be smaller but I kind of I'm just in a place where I don't want to go back to my current right I finally after five years I just found the one so it might take time I have not had the one and and so long did you feel like the one we used to go to in the closet was the one for you whoa brok I forgot about that damn I miss him I miss going to the same barber it's called her being burger going to an underground barber in the back of a garage you had to walk around the back through the alley yeah twice there was been pooping back there and I had to walk I don't think oh my god sorry yeah twice two separate men pooping that's bad by the dumpster but I guess that's why they call it the dumpster although what's amazing is it's right next to petco where I got Jonathan so it's like I didn't even know what was coming for me when I was getting my hair and cut in that closet all those years ago I didn't know it was going to meet my son just next door a few years I wouldn't I wonder if that young man listens to the podcast of these two no wait not only you and I you me and Jack Martin yeah I miss getting my haircut with my brothers at the barber oh that's crazy to think about and that pet goes also where we went when we were really depressed yeah and looking for a frog and they they were they were fresh out fresh out and we called every morning who was buying all the frogs during covid and West LA I don't know we didn't we do not live I didn't know we were not in West LA let's Hollywood yeah who was buying all the frogs in West in WeHo I don't know I don't like that I think there was one I need to begin with I think there was a shortage because of covid and why not well what'd you do this weekend I didn't even see I didn't I don't know what anyone's been up to I don't know what anyone's doing I don't know where anyone's going I'm in holiday mode already I was on my phone yeah pretty good bit this weekend I know that I talk about like being addicted to my phone like it's like not funny and it's like very bad and it's like really affecting my life and I don't know what to do and I'm being really serious and I have my lockbox and that's not enough so I don't know what to do I was I was on I was with you for that for a while and now I'm back to like it's actually a chore for me to like open Instagram and see and I know exactly what happened what made me do that switch yeah and it's also not healthy yeah so I'm not gonna say what it was yeah but it's it's bad I just want everyone to know that like when you see that I'm always on my phone like no it's not a choice and it's I don't mean to to disrespect anyone by being on my phone 100% of the time it's just like a problem very serious problem like I want to pick it up right now so bad I'm shaking but I'm not going to but it's really really really really really bad you know it's gonna blow your mind and I'm not even doing anything on it I'm just checking good reads which you know that's so fascinating yeah I've got a zelo then going on right now that I can't shake are you moving but yeah wow I'm thinking about when a peg in Canada um why I don't know I love Canada oh you know what I did this weekend wait hang on really quick we're on the phone talk um I got in bed the other night nope and I realized I was like, oh crap, my phone. I go, I'm so comfy, I'm not gonna get up. I just think it was in the bathroom or something. Just went to sleep. That crazy, went to sleep without my phone. - Did you not eat in the alarm? Like, I couldn't. I can't go to, I should, I could get an alarm clock, but. - I wake up pretty consistently at the same time, but I also didn't have anything super early. So if I were to accidentally sleep in rogue, it wouldn't be detrimentally late in the day where it would have been an inflicting on. - Hey, do the guy I'm going on? - That's so nice, Connor. - What'd you do? - Besides my phone, I went to see Mulan Rouge. Are you familiar with that piece? - I know the name of it. - It was a movie with Nicole Kidman in like 2001 or something. - I've seen the poster. - Yeah, probably. And a lot of people that like, move into their first post-grad home or apartment, always get the Mulan Rouge poster. - Really? - Wait, am I on? - I think, are you talking about those French posters? - Yeah. - I don't think, yeah, that doesn't have anything to do with Mulan Rouge. - And talking about those French posters. - Yeah. - I'm talking about it in it. - I totally know you mean about the French posters. This is separate. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Why'd you watch that? - I went to the theater in LA. I went to the Pantages Theater. - What theater is playing? - There's like theater in LA, like touring companies and stuff. - And they were playing a movie? - No, it was a show. So it came to Broadway in 2019 and now it's touring. - Okay, well, I was like, what is that? - Yeah, no, it's a movie with Nicole Kidman. - Right. So the, yeah, they were moving. - And then you came into the theater. - There was a movie, then it came to Broadway. It's touring, but I think it's still on Broadway. Maybe not, I don't know. But the whole time I was just thinking, my god, Connor would hate this. - Why would I hate it? - It's a jukebox, a jukebox musical, which means that it's songs that already exist. So I bet I wanna watch the movie 'cause I bet the song selection was like good oldies, which some of them are still in the musical version. But there were a lot of recent pop hits. - So for example, like the lead would burst out in like a rendition of Katy Perry's Firework, but make it like more musical theater-y. - What is a plot? - It like doesn't even matter. The plot is just like there, this like Burlesque Club, it's called Mulan Rouge and they don't have any money. So then the manager of the club promises their crown jewel of a performer, set teen to the duke. And he's basically like give us money and I'll give you Satine. And Satine's like that's fine. Like I want the club to have money too. And, but she's also coughing a lot. So then it's like, oh, something might be going on with Satine. And then this other guy, Christian, is like, wait, I'm in love with Satine. A lot, like a very good amount. And then Satine is in love with Christian, but remember, she was promised to the duke in exchange for him financing the club, right? And she's still coughing. Okay. So then at the end, she's like, oh, I don't want to be with the duke. Christian, I love you, coughs, dies. - And at what point? - She's dying. - Does Katy Perry's Firework fit into that plot? - I don't even know. But, you know what I did really like? Is it like no one can take away from me? - What? - Shut up in dance, wasn't it? (laughs) - It's amazing. - It's like just like acting, acting, like, oh, she's coughing, whatever. Oh, don't you dare hold back. - No way. - Yes, it was amazing. - Well, what was, I was thinking, shut up and dance, dance, dance, dance. - But then there was kind of like battles too. Like I need to play one for you in the bonus. Like they'd be like, I can't think of it right now. It'd be like, shut up and dance with, I want to swing from the chandelier. - You don't actually need to show me that. - It was awesome. But I really would be like, oh my god, Connor would die. - You don't even need to show me that at all? - No, I do. - No. - I loved it. And I added a new John to my collection, the main guy, John Cardoza. What a star. - Oh, and this is in the play. - Yeah. - So they changed the music? They changed it from the original movie to add new pop songs. But they kept some like, get you, get you, yeah, yeah. Was isn't it? And your song by Elton John. - Wow. - Yeah. But I want to watch the movie 'cause it's probably better songs. - That sounds so horrible. - But they managed to pick all the like, chewies, maybe not the right word, but like chewiest pop songs. Like it was like firework, chandelier, raise your glass. Royals by Lorde. It was really interesting, choice. - That feels like everything that would have played the DMV was really-- - It was kind of, it was really an amazing selection in a way. I did enjoy it. - That's just so insane to me. Well, God, that's fun. - Yeah. - Did you say after your phone for the whole show? - Yes, yes. I did. - That's good. Maybe your answer is you need to see to be in the theater at all. - I know, but like, it's not like I wasn't thinking about my phone. I really was like, I would love to snapchat during chandelier. I was like, this is something I want people to hear. - That's nice. - Like I wanted to blow that out to you. - Yeah, I would have questioned what we were doing. Listening to chandelier at a time like this. - I also feel a case-boiling me on Rouge 'cause like the plot literally didn't matter and also came out 2001 in the film. So sorry, but it's okay. - No, a lot of people are gonna be really upset 'cause they're planning on watching that this week. They might have been. But it's kind of obvious from like the first cough, like obviously like something's going on. 'Cause like why else would you be coughing really intentionally? And like there's blood on your handkerchief. Oh, there's blood on your handkerchief. Like that's not-- - The blood on your hand. - The blood on your handkerchief thing like, that happened in every single movie where someone's gonna die. - And everyone's coughing. - So chill about it too. If I ever have blood on my handkerchief, game over. - Have you ever met anyone that carried a handker? - Ooh, good question. I feel like yes, but I don't know who. Like I remember actively having the thought like I can't believe this person has a handker, but I don't remember who. - I know someone who does. - You. - Me, me. - Oh. - Except it's not real. It's just like used tissue she puts in her sleeve. - Yeah, well that's good enough. You know, she will offer them to you. And it's like what? - Also like handkerchiefs are gross. Like they're meant to be disposable. - Yeah. - Thanks, you both. - Handkerchiefs, I don't think we're supposed to be blow your nose vibes. Like I know that that's how they're used. Like they're coughing too. And then like I thought tears, but they do. You do see people blow their nose into them and then kind of tuck them back into their, they're the bootier, whatever you call that. And then. - That's a bucket. - Yes. Bhutanier. What was I thinking? That's why I brought what I was thinking. - Chrisage, or not Chrisage. - Yeah, same. - What's the opposite of the Chrisage? What's the foil to the Chrisage? Bhutanier. - Bhutanier. - Bhutanier? - Bhutanier. - Is that it? - I don't know, everything's out. Bhutanier. - Bhutanier. - Bhutanier. - That's not Bhutanier. It's Bhutanier. - Well, I took French. That looks like it's Bhutanier. Bhutanier. - Any hoops. Oh, shh. Oh, I've told you before, if you are at a restaurant and you have a cloth napkin, if you think for one second you should be blowing your nose into that, you're dead wrong and I'm cutting you out of my life. - Oh yeah, we've been here before and I agree. - I know, I have one person who is completely unaware that they did this, but it is the reason that I distance myself from them. - That sucks. I would wanna know if I was that person. - Some people are just stuck in their ways and it wasn't something where, like for me when I saw this person do that, I was like, this is a sign of a much larger internal issue that like I'm lucky that I was able to see this go down because now I can quietly and swiftly slip away in the night. Whereas like I think that this is the beginning of the end of like a larger situation. - Were you close with them? - Some what? - Maybe they felt comfortable enough with you. - No, it was like something that involved several tables around us too. It was like a little bit of a hawk shoe, like situation. - That's hard. - That kind of thing. - I'm sorry. - I would cut my dad out of my life if he did that at a restaurant, at least for a month. - I feel like it's okay in some circumstances honestly. Look at you've been really, really horrible cold and like the people at your table you're really close to and like you don't wanna keep getting up. And like, there's a napkin right in your lap, like, you might just have to not blowing maybe like. Yeah, that's fine. But I also don't like the idea of putting that onto your plate and then having like a server touch that it's not ideal. That's a super spreader. It's really not ideal. Yeah. But I'm just defending your dad. Well, my dad wouldn't do that. But I wanted to defend him in case. Yeah, because I don't want you and don't want you cutting him out. I won't cut him out. Are you going? Oh, yeah, you're staying and you're staying for Thanksgiving. I will be alone. I will probably get so depressed, but it will be California. California girls. They're unforgettable. Oh, I wanted to actually ask. I'm staying here because of my cats. Yeah. But I didn't want to ask if anyone has ever flown with two cats because like, what am I going to do for Christmas? No one's going to be here. I can't I don't not I don't want to put them in a place. But like I could, I mean, like, so just let me know if anyone's flown with two cats. Was it the worst thing ever? How do you even start to think about doing it? Is it an option? Should I like, what do I do? You could do. There are cats. Itters everywhere. I don't want like I like a rover. That's like the option you have. Yeah, I'm not going to do that. I guess you don't. I don't think you can travel with two cats. I don't think to freak. Like am I just going to stay in LA forever on the holidays now? It does seem so. I did rover several times and you meet the people before and I loved my girl that came over. I'm to stay to my house. I'm like a very like strict helicopter parent. Yeah. And you'll be you'll be actually able to act on that because you won't be leaving the state. Yeah. And it's actually like I'm starting to question my parenting because I'm Rob is like really like very, very dependent to the point where like John now like he doesn't like when John comes near me which was an issue at the beginning and now it's starting to rise again. It probably ebbs inflows with the two young men. Yeah, I know their brothers. Their brothers are under under your roof and Christ swinging from the chandelier and shit like that was last time you swung from the chandelier. I've never done it. I would like to seriously. Yeah, you know what else I would really want to do and this is like so naughty. I actually kind of don't even really want to do it but I want to have said that I've done it but I also don't want it to affect anyone negatively. I don't want anyone to have to deal with the consequences but I want to like destroy a hotel room, you know. Like pillow bites with feathers everywhere. Bathers and I want to like swing on the chandelier. You know, like I kind of want to the you know, but then I I want to get my security paws back and like I don't want anyone to be mad at me. I so see you living the sweet life. It sounds so glorious. I promise you when you're in a hotel room every single night of the week, like I was in one last night even and it was just like, oh my god. Hey guys front desk. Yeah, I'm going to go down and get a rash in the hot tub if you don't mind and I'll just head up to bed after that and watch the same episode of Modern Family that I've seen and I could do. I could do the one-man show with this episode. But when you have like, uh, Zach and Cody's mom, Carrie made that house a home. That's true. That hotel room that they were in also, I just want to say like, it's fabulous. It was fabulous and also I've not seen a hotel room that has two rooms like that with like, I guess I have like right next to each other or like that. No, there would be amazing things like having housekeeping every day and then just like, but that's essentially just like an apartment. The restroom restaurant at the bottom. No, you don't have to keep in every day in an apartment. You don't have a mural coming every day. No, I'm saying like, that's the only, it's essentially an apartment except with staff. I wonder if they should do their own laundry or if Muriel did it. Well, I know Muriel wasn't doing shit. She was kind of lazy bones. She was getting away with the least. Yeah. Um, get, you know what I did the other day. I went with, uh, like meals on wheels, city meals. Did I tell you this? No. And I like went and dropped food off to it's like mostly elderly people. And some of their apartments, I was like, let me linger a little bit and see if I can get on this wheel because they were so cool. Like, I mean, the people were really cool to talk to, but the apartments were like, unbelievable apartments and it's just they've lived there for 40, 50. Wow. I bet that's like the right control. No, it's on the leaf. Uh, well, the coolest thing ever. Um, and they're all like upper, like way uptown. Yeah. It's like an area I don't go to. It's like the coolest thing I'm talking to, talking to all them. There's one dude that he lived in Santa Monica. And his shirt's at Santa Monica. So I asked, I was like, what's out of it? He's like, I used to live there. And how elderly? Like just so I get an image, like almost a hundred, like at their house with like a caretaker type of shit. Um, and he was telling me about it and he's like, Oh, yeah, I, I think he was talking about like the last time he drank or something. He was like, yeah, it's been, I haven't drank like six months last of my drink. I was on a date in Santa Monica and I bought a woman a condo in Santa Monica and I go, I like you. I like what you have going on. I like him. He's still single. I believe so. Damn. Yeah. Just completely laying flat on his lazy boy. Uh, blanket vibes. I wish I knew more old people. I don't know any elderly people because old people are the shit. Yeah. I, I feel like my family has always been like my grandparents are young. That's it. Yeah. And I was, I had a great grandpa when I was really little, but I was very scared of his hands. I was scared of my grandpa's hands. They're very scary because he had that nub. I've told you about it. Oh, yeah. No, my grandpa's hands just were like very purple and spotted. And at least nanny, my grandma had the courtesy to wear these white gloves. But, but I was scared of the white gloves too. So it's a loose, loose. Well, I was scared of my grandpa's nub because he would put it in my armpit. Yeah, that's horrifying. So it's like the way that a nub can really get in there and hit your, hit your funny bone. I bet. It reaches angles that just the hand cannot. No, normal fingers are too lanky. This one that ended here. That nub is getting into every nub. Oh, I thought he didn't have an entire hand. No, he was just missing the nub finger. Oh, but brook, I'm telling you, that nub would really wedge in there. Yeah, that was a shit out of me. The nub had a, had a mind of its own. He also would take his teeth out. Oh, that's really scary as well. And so between the teeth and the nub, it was like Oscar Isaac, you cooked here. Yeah, yeah, totally. That would really scare me. But I'm ready now. I'm ready. For nub. To me, to be with old people. I was too young back then, but now I'm ready. Maybe when you come, maybe when you come visit, we could go visit my, I love that. Okay. It was Connor go to a nursing home. It wasn't even a nursing home. We're going walking to each apartment. I was like, this is like, amazing situation. If anyone wants to volunteer, it's city meals via meals on wheels. And it's very easy to get involved. I really do think though, like, you know how some people just don't know how to interact with kids. Yeah. I think that would be me with at a nursing home. Well, the thing about them is they are like excited to talk. So they will, you don't even really need to say that much. Like they will talk. That's good. That'd be, they'd be good for a first date. Fantastic. And they have so many stories too. It's like, so much life lived. Yeah. I've been just thinking so much about how we're going to be old. But that would be also would be a blessing. I mean, because what's the alternative? We're going to be so good at being old. We act old already. I heard something really horrible. I'll keep it to myself. Yeah. I'll come. I'm keeping it to myself. No, not right now, Brooke, because I, I like, when me reading that Mercury's in retrograde right now, I'm like, cool, perfect. That works. Because something so out of whack with my cycle, I'm like, not able to regulate any of my emotions right now. It's such an interesting way where it's like my life's amazing. And then it's like, I'm so scared. You know, I do think, and I wonder if this is normal. I think about aging every single day in a negative way. There is not one day I go without thinking about it. Do you? I think I feel the same way or no. I'm trying to think of something I think of every single day. I really, I'm really sorry. Recently, it's been milk. Like, that's something that I've thought about milk every day recently. I kind of want, I'm really scared, Brooke. I think I'm going to start drinking milk soon. Like regular milk. I don't know. Like, yeah. I think you were in my dream. Is that drinking milk? If I was drinking milk, I'm going to hang up. I don't know. But like, something about you saying that you've been thinking about milk like deja vu to me in a way. - Oh, that's spooky. - Like, there might have been something about you and milk in my dream. But it also, maybe not, 'cause I can't remember. - Oh, I don't know about all that. That's scary. I'm gonna have some milk that I just decided based on that conversation. I think I need to start seeking things up when I am feeling drawn to them in that way. - Okay, I like that. - Milk vibes, milker bust. - Don't talk to talk to talk, walk the walk. - Wait, no, but I need to, wait, my horoscope said, maybe plan a little bit, don't talk to talk to talk. - Don't try new things this month. - I have milk, I get, I get mad cow to say that. - Maybe say away from the milk. Major launches, big new commitments are riskier right now. I wouldn't, I would not do the milk corner. - Whoa. - Yeah. - Oh my gosh, and to think I was about to go, to think I was about to go get a curtain. - Yeah, I would not do that while your Mercury's in retrograde. - This is really scary. All of these things, again, straight up, like I don't believe in horoscopes. - I do want they tell me exactly what I want to hear. - Take the word out of my mouth. Okay, for Brooke. Brooke, for Jim and I, the Mercury retrograde is all about slowing down, double checking communications and revisiting partnerships before moving forward. So some good moves for you would be reconnecting review partnerships, revisit old conversations, maybe perhaps a hinge map. - I was thinking that contract or agreements before making new commitments, polish out routines and workflows, tweak your daily habits, work systems and health rituals, rather than starting new ones, double check communications, read emails, texts, and messages carefully before sending it. - That's the current shit out of me. 'Cause I've been thinking, I've been shit-talking a little bit too much recently, and I have been scared that I'm gonna fire off something in the wrong direction. - That's a scary, that's something you could lose sleep over. - Yeah, so thank you for the reminder. I'm going to be double checking everything. - Can I ask her, these are all the same as mine? - They do seem. - Launching, do you need to avoid launching major products? Need to avoid relying on assumptions, that's a big one. Don't overload your schedule. - I don't worry a lot. - Avoid neglecting reflection and don't rush agreements or signatures. - Am I gonna get conned? Contracts and formal commitments can be messy if done hastily. I'm sure I'm about to get completely scammed. Just keep an eye out. Is there anything more humiliating than posting it on an Instagram story? - Would you say? - Is there anything more embarrassing than posting an Instagram story? - Yeah, posting something in feed. - I'm so much less freaked out about posting in feed than my Instagram story. - Sometimes I will watch my Instagram story back. Well, I always will watch my Instagram story back a million times. But sometimes I'm like, I'm great and funny. And sometimes I'm like, I am the worst person that's ever been granted a phone. And it should be a remit for my hands and outlawed. - I'm there. - From my life. - I'm right there. Do you want to know what happened to me this morning? That'll make you feel better about that. - Yeah. - I went and I took a wellness shot. They were doing samples at this juice store. And I didn't know what it was. And I took it and it came out of my nose because it was ginger, cayenne, and lemon. - Yeah, that'll do it. - And I was kind of expecting something sweet. And it went up and it went into my mouth and didn't go down in any way. It went straight up and then out my nose and onto my shirt, which is that right there. - I'd like your hoodie, blouse. - Thanks. Look at the back of it. - Whoa. Pretty. I didn't know that's where El Paso was. You're teaching me today. - El Paso's in West Texas. No way to the very bottom. - It is. No, it was West and not at the very bottom. Show me again. - I can't hurt my back. - No worries. - Do you guys know, I hurt my back so bad at the Halloween YouTube video shoot that I had to go get scanned again. - You needed a new back. I would love Dr. Isaac to get Dan and Dirty on me. Wait, oh my gosh, you guys. So I got a massage over the weekend in Philly. And it was great. It was my first time. I didn't pack, well, for Philly, 'cause I was only going for two days. So I was like, I don't need to bring my suitcase. So I brought a duffle bag and I'd be, I see men with duffle bags all the time and it's just kind of like, why are you doing that? It's just like, you could have a bag that's like on the ground or on your back, totally back, back vibes. And I tried it. It's not, it's dumb to have a duffel bag. - I think a man with a little duffle bags slung over his shoulders really cute. - Yeah, and I think it's all very performative and I think they do it. I think that they're all doing it for the look. And it's like a, the look is like Lulu, Lemon jogging sweats, duffle over the side hat. But not when it's like really nerdy and earnest. And it's like your middle school duffel bag. - This one was just like a weekend bag but it was walking lopsided. - Sorry, I think I'm thinking about someone. - Yeah, I guess so. Geez. And so I get there and I go, oh, heavens. I, this is my, I went, I was like, I don't have any underwear. Like I went, I didn't make it massage. I've never done that. But like my understanding is that you, that standard practice is to be naked. - That's reminding me of a really interesting side of TikTok I'm on. Continue. - Okay. So I go do this naked massage and I've also never had a male masseuse. - I wonder if the guy from my free page. - I've never had a massage quite like this one. There's a lot of stretching involved. I was like, I was lying on my stomach. - Your leg was on your stomach? - No, he, I was lying on my sewing and he had my leg like one of my, each of my legs like, oh, in the air, I'm like, I'm not that flexible. - Was your butt out? - My butt was out. And my leg is just up in the air and I can't imagine what it looks like from where he is. And like he didn't like, he didn't like cover me. Like I was feeling a breeze on my leg and my leg is in the air and I'm like, what is even, what am I supposed to be feeling right now? - I would be having a hard time with that. - What? - I'd be having a hard time with that. - Well, it's just like, I had never had like this, whatever type of massage it was where there was a lot of like lifting my limbs and kind of like dropping them and then-- - Totally. - And I really just needed like my back massage 'cause of my back hurting. - There was a lot of, you touched my butt several times. - Wow. - But it wasn't anything nefarious. It was very much like a massage still, but I was just like not expecting-- - Did you like it? - I was so on edge thinking like, am I supposed to be naked right now? That I couldn't enjoy the actual massage part. - If he was touching your butt and rubbing your butt then I would imagine you were supposed to be naked. He wouldn't be rubbing your butt if he didn't want you to be naked. - It was one thing like, if I would have worn underwear, would he be going below the panty line? - Probably. - Or would that have been the border? - Yeah. He'd be going south of the border. - Yeah, if he would have gone south of the border and I was in boxes or something, I would have been like, excuse me, don't go in my underwear, you know? - Right, that would feel weird, but I bet it was totally fine 'cause you were naked. - Have you had a naked massage? - I haven't had a clothes massage. - You've never had a massage? - I hate being clutched like that. - If I could relax a little bit more, I think I'd really enjoy it, but it is, it's hard for me to relax 'cause I'm just thinking the whole time. - Totally. - And I have never had a relaxing massage 'cause I have so many knots and tightness things that like when they go in, I'm like, really? You're gonna have to hurt me a little bit. So it's never the man in my wall is not gonna see. He went some massage. This is my heater turning on. In college, we had under my bathtub, we had, we found out like a family of raccoons living under our bathtub and you could feel them moving around. Like you couldn't actually feel them but like they would scrape and stuff and they'd be moving around and it was kind of cute. But now I set it out loud and it's actually that's so scary. - That is scary. I don't, raccoons are kind of scary on me a little. - It was the biggest raccoon you've ever seen. It was the size of a Toyota Corolla. It was the biggest fatdest thing you've ever seen. He couldn't even climb and shit 'cause it was so pregnant and then I had the babies and it was like 12 babies and they were cute. But then it was like 13 raccoons, like full ground raccoons under our house. - Where do most raccoons live in the country? Like did you have a lot of raccoons? - Oh, I guess they're everywhere kind of. - I feel like I didn't have a lot of raccoons. - Texas has a ton. - Well, particularly in the Eastern and Central United States. Interesting. - So you should have had, you should have raccoons. - Totally. I don't think I really saw any. They are not found in Alaska. - Thank God. - Do you wanna go to Alaska? - Yeah, I do. - Drop my phone. - It's fine, I'm not gonna pick it up. Well, Connor, I think that's all the time we have for today. no. I know. Well, we have the bonus. Yeah. I was about to say don't get your panties and too much in a bunch. I'll see you in a second. Well, I didn't even wear them because I'm getting a massage. You're getting your butt rub today, aren't you? My butt rub. Nice. Okay. Yeah. I think on that, no, that's probably a good time to end it. Okay. Well, I'll see you in about 40 seconds. I'm going to have, you know what? I'm going to have a yogurt. Oh, yummy. So I'm going to go hop on the yogurt train and then you have to tell me what side of the take talk you're on. I'll tell you what to do. Okay. Okay. All right. Bye, guys.
