Every single week, I'm like submit your fan submissions, go to your, I'm definitely gonna read them. And then the next week I have so much to talk about that I don't get to it. Guess what, I'm getting to it, I got got to it, I'm getting got to it, okay? [MUSIC] So if you've submitted something on my Patreon, a question, a statement, a recommendation, a deep dive topic. It's now is the time, okay? Now is your time, and here's the magical part, I have pulled my favorite ones that either intrigued me, made me laugh, or otherwise I just felt really kind of, they were of the moment, okay? They were of the time. So, without Phil's ado, we are going to begin the Bursky Report first ever fan submission episode. [APPLAUSE] Okay, let's begin, I've pulled a few of my favorites. And the first one that I just really feel the need to start on. And by the way, I know my hair looks like that fucking the girl from Hey Arnold. I know that, okay? Or no, not Hey Arnold, but was that other Nickelodeon show with the girl with the fucked up braids? [LAUGH] The white girl with the glass and with the bangs that went like this and she had glasses and freckles that are air-banked, her braids went like this. Nika, or was it Cartoon Network? Yes, this girl, dude, this girl from recess, I know I look like her, you don't have to say anything. I already knew it in my head. I also look like the Big Fat Whitey next star. [LAUGH] I look like the Big Fat Whitey and the girl with braids had a child, a love child, and that's me. Right now, in this moment, okay? I know that, you do not have to comment it, thank you so much. By the way, recess came out in 1997, the year I was born. The year of the ox, is that true? 1997, animal year, year of the ox. Yes, the year of the ox is in the Chinese zodiac, specifically the fire ox. Yeah, type shit, don't you ever fucking forget it. Anyone born between, I don't care, all right, you're the ox. Let's get into the fan submissions. The first submission is from Dustin Wolff. [APPLAUSE] Thank you, Dustin, for your contribution. Dustin asks, and thank you. What's your favorite thing to have while you're high? Dustin, incredible question here. Really top tier journalism, top tier things that I am hoping to get from my audience in this sort of thing. So what's your favorite thing to have while you're high? Thank you, Dustin Wolff. [APPLAUSE] My favorite thing to have while I'm high, a donut. [LAUGH] Like that's some fat shit, that's some big girl shit. I love it, I love donuts, I love a big donut, Randy's donuts, crispy cream dude, don't get me started. Anytime I met, you know those like the local grocery stores in the South. Like Kroger, HB, damn, pigly wiggly, fucking publics, shout out to all the publics in Florida at all. Every time I'm in a publics and they have those pre sectioned half dozen normal glazed, crispy cream donuts, I have to pick one up. Like that's coming home with me. I turn into a Jinx mother, and I'm like, you're coming home with me. Like the moms who go to Marshalls and they're like. The fucking Christmas tree, the Christmas elf on the top of the pumpkin is best of both world's holidays, you're coming home with me. That's me. Every single time I pass by a crispy cream, there's one here in Burbank that is a drive through crispy cream donuts. Are you out of your mind? I have these door dash drivers running around to the crispy creams, and I feel guilty about it. Of course I feel guilty about it, but I'm sitting in my house like high as balls, I'm high as space balls. I'm like, I need a donut, donuts for dinner. And then I have diarrhea for the next 17 hours straight, and I'm also hungry because there's no, there's no nutritional value in a donut, but there is dopamine. Randy's donuts, yum yum donuts, crispy cream donuts, all of the above. Unfortunately, crispy cream does take the cake, and I don't like take pride in saying that. I also know Randy's donuts is like a California thing, like in Iron Man 2, he's up in the Randy's donut. You know, he's holding the shit, and it's a Randy's donut. He's Iron Man is up in it. It's like a California staple, especially LA. I love it. I love Randy's donuts. They make this big ass fat ass donut that's incredible. That's bacon maple, and it genuinely has pieces of bacon on top. You think I'm not getting two of those? I am, and they're also long boys. They're long boy donuts. It's not just, oh, I'll have a glazed. I want the long boy, and I want two. And I'm going to finish it, and I'm going to say that was delicious should we get more? That's what I'm doing when I'm high. I'm watching things that scare me. I'm in the house getting scared, and I'm eating donuts until my tummy aches. Okay. Crispy cream. Here's the thing about crispy cream. There is an nostalgia factor. I think the smell of crispy cream makes me like salivate. It's like Pavlovian conditioning. I see the neon sign, and I get real excited, and I pee a little bit, and my penis gets hard. I see hot to go. It's like fresh donuts, hot to go, and it's like blinking, and the sign is a shape of a donut. Genius. And my penis is hard. Okay. And then I eat it, and then I'm full bone hard. Okay. The caloric density, though, of a crispy cream donut, I don't really want it. We should go with how many calories in one crispy cream glaze donut? Okay. 190 calories in one. 11 grams of fat in one, 22 grams carbs. Okay. Sugar's only 10. Didn't even realize that. It's not that bad. I thought it was going to be like 40 grams of sugar. How much sugar is in a Coca-Cola? How much sugar is in one, 12 ounce can of Coke? Right, 39 grams. Bitch, I don't care. I love a soda. My latest thing's been diet, Dr. Pepper, which is good, but sometimes I'm sitting there, and I'm like, I wish it was full fat. I wish I'd just drink in a fucking Dr. Pepper. I feel like Edward feasting on deer blood. It's fine. It's fine. I just wish that it was human blood. Okay. It's fine. I'm in a pissy mood all day. I'm like, what's wrong? It's fine. I'm fine. It's just not, it wasn't a full fat Dr. Pepper. No, it's fine. I just come to this place, and I think I'm going to get what I want, like I'm paying a lot of fucking money. It's one of those places. There's like the Einstein light bulbs, the burger's $25, and I just want a full fat Dr. Pepper. Fucking woke bitches, you don't have Dr. Pepper, you have Dr. Pepper. You have diet, diet, Dr. Cola, oh my, diet, Dr. Cola. I want a full fat Dr. Pepper, and you know what had me by the balls this summer? The coconut, Dr. Pepper. This isn't even sponsored. I'm not even like, it's not like that. The coconut, creamy frothy, whatever it was, Dr. Pepper, come on, dude. This shit was so good, and it was so, and the summertime, it's hot, like a creamy coconut Dr. Pepper. I want one so bad, and they were limited edition. Anyway, awesome 40 grams of sugar in a Coke. No worries. I can just have 40 donuts, I can probably fucking 40 donuts, it'd be the same. But what the hell, it's so much sugar, I actually have 40 donuts, we should probably order 40 donuts. I was gonna drink Coke anyway. Okay. And the joke there is that I said 40 and I meant four, okay? And that's humor, okay, donuts, I love to eat when I'm high. And I like Dustin that you left this question open and did, what's your fav thing to have while you're high? I like to have a piss. Have you ever peed while you're high or drunk? There is a level of relief that nothing, nothing is touching that relief of, I got a pain on me. Oh, when you're high and you sit down to pee on the toilet, okay? And I don't expect highbrow shit from this podcast. I get high, I eat a donut, and I piss myself, that's what I do. What's for you doing in your house? That's what I'm doing, and I'm doing it alone, and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for the fucking world. Okay. What's my fav thing to have? I like to have a train video playing. I like to watch a train video, but sometimes I get irritated and I have to put it on 2X because the train's going to. too slow. I like to do that. I like to watch history documentaries. I like to watch Victorian shit. I like to watch cons. Oh, my God. I love to watch concert, uh, concert movies. Oh, okay. Concert movies when you're high, bitch, Celine Dion, a new day in Las Vegas, 2007, clock it. Check that shit out. The Ariana Grande, um, it was a sweet no-world tour. I can't remember what it's called. Excuse me. I love you on Netflix. I love to watch that one. Gaga used to have one called five, five foot two. I don't know if they took it off in Netflix. I used to love to watch that one. Ray, there are full blown concerts on YouTube that you can just go watch. And Ray has one. And Ray is a monster and a beast. She is a machine of jazz, and there is a level of the talent density in Ray. There are very few artists alive today that have that level of vocal control, like stage presence, personality. There's a reason she gets compared to anyone else all the time. It's because she is just bubbling over. It's, it's impossible not to love her. I just, oh, my God. And I think that's also Ray is for the music nerds. Ray is for people, but it's not Jacob Collier. You know what I mean? Like Jacob Collier. Okay. It's to the point of music nerd. We're, we're doing like arrhythmia. We're doing like a tonal music, like medieval, a tonal arrhythmia. I don't know. It's not enjoyable for me personally. I respect Jacob Collier on like a mince level. I think he is a literal living genius. I'm just not, I'm not rocking with the music. And maybe that's me. Maybe that's a fault of my own. I don't know. But Ray is that sweet spot for me where it is very clear. She is a genius. And her music is fun. And it's, it's poppy enough. But she gets to play at her live show. She gets to play with her jazz influences, with what she really wants to sing. She does the Christina thing where she goes the fuck off. And it's not in an annoying way. We're Christina Aguilar. It can kind of be annoying sometimes with that shit. I just feel like Ray is feminine, exemplary excellence, like it's just, wow, 10 out of 10. So I like to do that. My faith thing to have while I'm high. I also had a phase recently where I was just making white rice and spicy tuna. That shit hits like when you rediscover butter and bread, just butter and toast, which damn, that sounds good. I'm trying not to eat bread because it makes me inflamed. But I love, I love a sandwich. Everything has fucking bread in it. Like, what can you do? Okay. Oh, veggie straws. I'll dip a veggie straw in anything. Veggie straws. I'm like, I'm being really healthy today. I'm being good. And I eat the whole family size bag. You ever say something? You're like, okay, girl. Okay. Like, oh, yeah, okay. You're so different. Oh, you're so funny because you binge eat. That's a set you apart. Oh, that's so funny how you binge eat when you're high. That's really cool. Thanks for sharing. Anyway, yeah, those are my favorite things to have while I'm high. Is there anything else I'd like to do a shower? Oh, a shower when you're high. Wow. I like to have a face time. I'll face time anybody when I'm high and I'll talk, but it depends what type of high I am. Because if I'm like, I have to go lay down and be like in my chamber, then no. Don't ever call me. Don't text me. But if I'm the type of high, then yeah, I'll sit on FaceTime for three hours and don't let me call Drew when I'm high. Because that bitch can talk and I can talk. And so we're all going to say what's happening to me. Three and a half hour FaceTime. Okay, girl, I'll talk to you later. I love it. But so I'm not always in that mood. It's the funny thing. It really depends what type of it. And you know what? A lot of people are like, why don't you just smoke? Because my lungs are precious little chicken cutlets and anything about smoke gig or inhaling anything just really scares me. And I feel like so many celebrities die of lung cancer. And I just, it really freaks me out. And people in real life, like what celebrities are real life, I guess. But you know what I mean? Like people, it's it's pretty common to have accelerated terminal lung cancer as well as stomach cancer. So I'm just it really freaks me out. I would much rather like have an edible and have to wait an hour and a half and then like maybe have a panic attack versus smoking a vape. What, what the hell is in a vape? So you know what I mean? I just, I can't do it. And I have actually one more from Dustin. Shut up, Dustin Wolf, I guess. Dustin, I really was enjoying your submissions. Dustin said, what type of history videos have you been locked into? History videos. There are, there are a few, okay? This year I really was loving the Mediches, okay? The Mediches, here's and it ties back into modern day, okay? Patrons of the arts are a dead breed. They are extinct, okay? Rich people are not supporting the arts and pouring money back into the arts the way that they used to. The Mediches they were so rich and the Mediches, I'm speaking like 1,400 to 1,500 to 1,600. They were so rich and bored and they owned so many things and they had so much influence that what thrilled them, what brought them immeasurable joy was throwing money at an artist to commission a piece and seeing that piece come to fruition, come to life. And in doing so, it served humanity. Like these Italian masters, the Mediches are responsible for so much of the art that we borderline worship today. You know that we treat as the epitome of art, we treat it as the epitome of art history, the masters things to be studied and that was born out of a deep rooted appreciation for the arts. And that just is missing from specifically American culture. I'm not going to try to speak globally for you know rich people globally, but I do think it's a billionaire issue. And if they are billionaires as patrons of the arts, it's fucking Jeff Coons. And who's the guy that does the like shark embalmed in water? It's just it's not, it's not. And that's my opinion. It's not. So I've always said like this, the internet, who knows right? Who knows where it's headed every 12 hours the internet changes? AI is rampant. It is out of control. It is terrifying. And there is a real hunger for human made things for art and different artistic mediums crafted by a human hand. In that vein, I hope that there is this sort of human led renaissance of all types of art forms because people crave it. They want it. They just can't afford to invest in it because all these companies, all of these investors, all of these billionaires are throwing money into AI. And for what? Like I just, it's so ridiculous and stupid to watch it happen. So I like to watch these videos. Sorry, that was a huge tangent. But I like to watch these videos because it brings it back to this central idea of all we are is art. That's what separates us from other animals. Empathy, art, love, all these concepts that are distinctly human and art imbalms and preserves the social snapshot of that time. It's how we look back on things, you know, personal accounts are wishy-washy, you know, history is always being revised, but what is true and will always be true and always has been true is an artist's interpretation and an artist's impression of their subjective reality of the time. That is indisputable. Their experience recorded and through whatever medium of their choice of their choosing. So these things, they're just precious. They are precious. And I love watching that through the history, through the years, through history of different eras. I had that phase like a year or two ago of the Romans, like Romans made things beautiful. The statues that are white and bleached today that we think of as, you know, the venus de Milo or any of these old famous Greek or Roman sculptures, those were full of color in their original forms. Roman mosaics, like all that entire area that Mediterranean was so beautiful by human hand, just beautifully constructed and crafted. And these These artisans and craftsmen were brought in for that specific purpose. to make these palaces, these public places beautiful. So where is that today? Everything is mid-century modern and sleek and boring. It's just boring. And it's actually funny-- and I've learned this through my YouTube essays-- how art movements are in reaction to each other. In succession, they are in direct reaction to each other. I'll give this as an example of, I guess, Victorian times, because I love that shit, and I boon to it. The Victorian era was so defined by ostentatious over-the-top superfluous decoration. Everything had an embellishment. Everything was as maximalist as it could be. Because at the time, that was good taste. It was, you have curated your space. You have traveled. You have found things. You have filled your home with items that are artful, that are tasteful, to the brim. Everything had fine craftsmanship. It was beautifully executed, beautifully done. Even things down to public street lamps. There were artists who worked on these things. And have you ever seen the sewers of London-- like the London sewage system that they designed to deal with the great stink of London in 1853 or something like that? That shit smelled so fucking bad that finally, they had to have a waste management solution, whatever. So they put it all underground into a sewage system. And the sewage system is beautiful. Why? Because it has to be. Because that was the Victorian-- and look, I'm not glazing the Victorians in any other regard. The Victorians were rotted, hateful, prejudiced people. But they had a pinchant for whimsy. And they had a pinchant for beauty and for art. And you separate the two in this mental experiment here of beauty for beauty's sake. Because it's beautiful to look at for everyone to look at. And then at the same time, they were colonizing the Congo and doing fucking horrible horrendous things as the British Empire around the turn of the 20th century. So all of these things are true. I want to show you a photo of the London sewage system. Look at this. This is the sewage system. And it goes back to this concept of Victorian pride in what they did. It wasn't enough to build a utilitarian building to pump sewage. It had to look good as well. The decorations on these pillars do have a meaning. They are figs. And they're little red dots, are synopods. And this is Victorian education and probably human. Because what are they? Lactatives. There is actually a little carving at the top of one of the windows there. And it is the face, the portrait of Joseph Varsagead. It's called the cathedral in the marsh. Who good reason, I think. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. So I love reading about that stuff. And I think, anyway, what I was going to say is that era of everything, everything, was decorated. Even the shitter was decorated. You move from that directly into Art Deco. And the Art Deco minimalist sleek design. I'm thinking Orient Express. I'm thinking like Empire State Building, all of the hotels and the elevator shafts that were just sleek wood with some curvature gold. It was very expensive looking. And it's very beautiful. But such a 180 from this Victorian standard of maximalist design. And then after that, we kind of go back into a bit more decorative post-war. We're celebrating whatever. The '60s are so, like, the '70s, everything is so designed. The '80s, it's back to futuristic, the Jetsons. It's very sleek. It's very interesting to go back and see how these movements, not only kind of mirror each other, because everything's cyclical through history, but react to each other. It's like being frustrated with the time. So I am hoping and praying that what we are in right now is the beginning of this kind of renaissance of maximalism. I would love to see a return of maximalist, handmade, commissioned, artisan-led public works. Like, I just-- and who knows? I-- Trump needs to die. And the state of California needs to get its fucking head out of a task. There's just so many things that we could live in a country. We could live in a world where all these things are possible. A public library-- new public library is going up. New parks, new third spaces. But like, you know, I have hope though. I have hope. So anyway, I love to watch those history videos. I also love to watch archaeology. And what if we drain to the oceans? Those kind of videos, I really, really enjoy because the sea is haunted. The ocean is haunted. And I really fuck with that. I fuck with the idea that there is a whole world below the surface of the waves that is both being eroded away and preserved. Because these ships that have sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor in a lot of ways stay intact, because the salt water, the coldness of how deep it is down in the bottom of the sea floor, it preserves them to a certain extent. There are things pulled out of the bottom of the ocean, like warships or old Viking or Roman vessels that have bottles of wine still intact. That is crazy, like cargo ships, cargo vessels that were shipping wine or food or whatever, and they sunk for whatever reason. They're still there. The cargo is still on board, spooky, haunted. So I love that ship. I also had a phase earlier this year, again, not to bring it back to Victorians, but what the hell were they eating? What did-- oh, Medieval is another thing that I really have tapped into this year, which I kind of always-- you know, the Medieval thing is kind of my thing, but I much more skew towards Victorian turn of the century in terms of innovation and British society at the time, and American society. I mean, we still kind of refer to as-- refer to the 1880s turn of the century, you know, the gilded age, if you will, even though I think that's more like 1910s in America. We still refer to that as Victorian in America for that time. Or maybe that's just me. OK, I'm not a fucking historian. Do not quote me on any of this. I'm just frequently information that I have found on the internet. So that era really intrigues me, but I've gone back to the Medieval era for things like, if you were a traveler, OK, or a sword for hire, or just moving from city to city in Medieval times, and you stopped into a tavern with a little fire, and you know, there were ends attached to the tavern. You could store your horse, all that. What were you eating? What was on the menu? And it's kind of what you would expect. It's a lot of stews, porridge, maybe some salted meats. But that's so interesting. Also, I think this was around the time that they were doing the-- what did they call it? Like constant soup or something like that, where the shit was always on the fire. And they would just add more broth, more ingredients, like night after night after night. So very interesting. These people who owned the ends, all the danger on the road in Medieval times, also, and not to bring it back to Robert Eggers, but I will, and did. Where Wolf is set in Medieval, old English, Middle English, England, is it set in England? Anyway, it's set in Medieval times. And that era is so interesting of myths and folklore and what's to be pulled from that in terms of, like, you know, you stay in the city, and you don't wander into the forest. You, everyone here knows. Keep your kids away from the tree line. Everyone at dark, you stay in your house. You don't go wandering out. There was a deep rooted probably for a good reason, fear of the forest, fear of the woods. And that is just like, you know, so these people who did choose to walk these roads at night, to travel at night, bandits, whatever they were hooded, and had weapons, and probably had nefarious intentions. All that was so interesting to me because those are also the type of people who would stop into the tavern. Everybody needs to eat. Everybody needs to play sleep. So very interesting. I watch videos like that. I also watch-- oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I really enjoy-- what's that channel that, like, wired expert interviews? I enjoy those. It's like ancient Roman historian, debunks, AI Slop. I love those videos. I don't know. There's a lot of-- different topics that I'll just, I'll be like, that's interesting, and I'll click on it, or I'll save it to watch later. I have a bunch. This episode is sponsored by What Not!

Why does every friend group have that one person who's like, "Don't worry, I'll bring something," and then they show up with one lonely bag of chips, probably for themselves. Girl, there's 20 people here. What was the thought process there? I personally am the opposite of that person. That's why I've been grabbing Smirnoff Ice.

I'd put beef jerky. This is when I was doing plus-size-plus-size. I'd put beef jerky and spray cheese and a tortilla. So good. No, I don't do many Slot Meals now, unless I'm like drunk and ordering from Taco Bell. Right now, it's more so the snack plates. I'll do snack plates with just some bullshit on it.

Also, found out recently Sheridan Lephanou. A man, a man writing about sapphic vampires. Freaked out. But this one I do not know. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Barand. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. What's what's the premise? Oh, it's a true crime book. Okay. And what if I don't want fucking AI overview? Ever thought about that? Okay. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a non-fiction novel. What the hell? By John Barand. The book, Barand's first, was published on January 10th, 1994 and follows the story of Jim Williams, an antiques dealer on trial for the alleged murder of Danny Harnesford. Hansford. Subtitled a Savannah story with an initial printing of 25,000 copies, the book became a New York Times bestseller. Barand combines self-witnessed experiences during his time living in Savannah, Georgia, roughly four years after the shooting, with stories from the preceding years were counted to him by locals. He catches up with proceedings around the book's midpoint. Williams was a free man during Barand's five years in Savannah. The author took some liberties with his writing, including creating a relationship between Joe Odom and Nancy Hillis. In tone, the book is atmospherically deep-south coastal. Savannah, Georgia, and Bufert, South Carolina, and Southern Gothic. That's why. Okay, Ethel Caintees depicting a wide range of eccentric personalities in and around Savannah. The central to. Ooh, okay, here we go. The central narrative concern. The central narrative concerns the shooting of Danny Harnesford, a local male prostitute, characterized as a good time not yet had by all. By Prentice Crow, a Savannah socialite. The perpetrator was respected antique-steeler Jim Williams, who was also Harnesford's employer and casual sexual partner. Okay, so we're doing a little gay right now. Harnesford's death resulted in four murder trials, with the final one ending in a quiddle. After the judge finally agreed to a change of venue to move the case away from the Savannah jury poll. The book describes Williams' version of the killing, which is that it was in self-defense. The result of Harnesford, who was prone to fits of rage, shooting at Williams with a gun that was on display and Williams shooting back to protect himself and not murder, premeditated, or otherwise by Williams. The shooting occurred in Williams's Mercer House home, the ground floor of which is now a museum. Interesting. So it's a little a little true crime, a little gay, a little Southern Gothic. Very, very interesting. I don't really love nonfiction. I'll be honest. I don't know. I'll add it to the maybe TBR, but I have about a billion other books that I'm probably going to get to ahead of that, which leads me to the net, but thank you for your contribution, Haley Reeves, which leads me to the next submission Carter Q says Jonathan Strange and Mr. Noral by Susanna Clark. Is Susanna Clark the one that did piranese? Piranese? Jonathan Strange. Oh, it's a show as well. Oh, I'm already seeing Victorian. I'm seeing Victorian period wear. Oh, it's her debut novel. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Noral is the debut novel by British writer Susanna Clark. Published in 2004, it's an alternative history set in 19th century England around the time of the Napoleonic Wars. I'm gooning. I'm gooning already. It's premise is that magic once existed in England and has returned with two men, Gilbert Noral and Jonathan Strange centered on the relationship between these two men, gay, the novel investigates the nature of Englishness and the boundaries between reason and unreason, Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Dane, and Northern and Southern English cultural tropes. It's been described as a fantasy novel, an alternative history and a historical novel. Very fucking tea. The narrative draws on various romantic literary traditions, such as the comedy of manners, the gothic tale, and the ironic hero. Bitch! Oh my god! The novel's language is a pastiche of 19th century writing styles, such as those of Jane Austin and Charles Dickens. Oh my god, I'm going to read this next. Wow, great suggestion. Thank you to Carter Q. Okay, we'll do one more. Hannah Crilly, Supreme Leader, it was an honor to meet you at Disney on September 4th at Disney California Adventure. You were so kind to me and I was such a blueberry mess. Hey girl, I was wondering if you could share a slash rank your favorite Disney rides and/or foods. Thank you for the submission. I absolutely can do that. Favorite ride ever ever ever Hollywood Tower of Terror. But I will say I was just in Disney World back in September and the Tower of Terror is not what I remember it to be. I don't know if they've dicked with the ride, but it's not as long as the Guardians of the Galaxy One in Disney Land. Regardless, the Guardians of the Galaxy ride is just the drop. The Twilight Zone one is a kind of you go through on a track and then you drop. Regardless, I love it. I love anything that makes my stomach go up into my eyeballs. I love that shit. It's like a true thrill. I feel every time I go to Disney Land, I feel like a thrill seeker. I'm like, I get it. I get it. I love roller coasters. I don't give a damn. I'll get on any coaster. I'll get on any ride. It is so fun to me. I also love. I mean, all the classics, like Big Thunder Mountain. I love that. I love Space Mountain not so much. Space Mountain, it's a bit. I'm just like, okay, we get it. We're going down and down and down in circles and it's dark. I really enjoy. I forget what the names are. Expedition Everest and Expedition Everest and the Yeti Red. Is it called the Yeti? Expedition Everest and the other one. They're both like. Yeti themed. That one in Disney Land is like every time I ride it, I think I'm going to fucking die. I'm going to break my neck. I'm going to break my back. It is so rackety and rickety and it scares the fuck out of me every single time. It's so good. There's a part where you can see out over the whole park, especially when you ride it at night. When it's a little cold. Oh, gooning, gooning to Expedition Everest. It's such a good ride. If you like that high intensity shit, one time I rode it with my friend Tristan, y'all know Tristan, of the Knock the Chalk Air Podcast. And randomly he got soaking wet. I can do what else got wet. That is not a water ride. He got soaking wet and it made me laugh. It made me laugh. Like, got out the entire front of him was wet and his glasses were covered and well, I don't know. I don't know. Made me laugh so hard. Almost peed. Those are probably my favorite rides. I enjoy the Incredits coaster, of course. My favorite ride ever, though, ever other than Twilight Zone is the Velocic coaster at Universal Studios, Orlando. That coaster is unbelievable. I take that back. It's the Hagrid ride. It's the Hagrid ride in the Harry Potter world in Universal Studios, Orlando. That's the best roller coaster to ever exist. And I mean that Velocic coaster second. And credit coaster, it's okay. Okay, it's fun. It's not too like, I don't know. Some people really they made my stomach hurt because you go upside down. I don't give a damn. I'll go upside down 30 times. I don't give a damn. It really is like, how far through the Velocicoster, it speeds up again. And that it genuinely the first time I wrote it, I said, it's so good. But yeah, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is my favorite amusement park ride ever, ever, ever. Guardians, I'll take it. I don't love the branding of it, but the ride is so much fun. My favorite snack, a pickle. I get a pickle every time I go to Disneyland. I love a pickle. I love a caramel apple from that shop on Main Street in Disneyland at the very end. It's got like the Coke light. It's like an ice cream parlor. They've got desserts in there. I get that. I get the caramel apple from there. They also make like this homemade pop tart. It's really good. The pretzels, the, ooh, and radiator springs in Disney California adventure at the cozy cone. Okay. They've recreated it from cars in one of the cones. It's called pop cone. Get it? Pop cone. And they sell pickle popcorn. I could eat that shit by the bucket by the bucket. It is so delicious. I love it. I love anything. Vinegary and sour and pickle-y and salty. I just love salt. Anything salty I want. So those are probably my tops. And that's just like walking around the park. I don't know. I'm not that into it of like, you have to go to this restaurant or this appetizer. I don't give a damn. All right. I'm just walking around the park. I'm trying to ride rides. I also love in Star Wars land. There is a cold brew that has cocoa puffs on top. Are you getting your mind? Like it's, it's really good. And it makes me shit myself. I don't give a damn. It's good. All right. Thank you, Hannah. Okay. Let's get into housekeeping. My song of the week. This is not mind you. I'm recording this. It's the very beginning of November. Okay. Don't mean chamber just dropped. Tongue by Fontaine's D.C. is my favorite song of the year. I love that damn song. I love that song. And I love intimate from Don't Mean Chamber. Also Ethel Keynes wear wolf song from the soundtrack. What's it? I don't even the name of it is like, death. I don't know. It's so, so good. I can't even talk about the movie. I can't talk about the movie. Like I'm so excited for it. So excited for wear wolf. What I'm watching. I recently watched if Beale Street could talk for the first time with Regina King and Coleman Domingo. Fantastic cast. Yeah. Sobbed my eyes out. And I like truly that movie movies like that. Any media like that is so important. It's a James Baldwin adaptation that is always going to be relevant in America. And it's movies like that that truly, it's love. It is love that will be the ultimate liberation. It has to be love for your fellow man, love to surpass hatred, love to overpower hatred, light to overpower darkness like there. I have to have hope. We have to have hope that love will liberate us all. I just can't those movies are hard to watch. Honestly, for a lot of different reasons. And I won't get too deep into the plot because I think that you should watch it for yourself. But I just, it's such a cross section of where America was. And it really makes you reflect on where America is today. So really fantastic movie. I think Barry, Barry Jenkins directed it. Who did Moonlight? What I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to seeing my siblings on Thanksgiving. I can't freaking wait. I'm so excited. And then style things I'm loving. I am really into certain color pairings right now. Okay. I'm trying to be more inventive. I love to just do black top, you know, skirt or pants and then like a colorful shoe. I'm trying to get more inventive gray and pink, light blue and brown. Those are fun pairings. I recently got some Dr. Shoals t-strap loafers. Dr. Shoals. Yeah, honey. Yeah, honey. I'm turning 30 next year. I'm buying Dr. Shoals shoes. My back hurts. Dr. Very cute. I haven't styled them yet. They just came in yesterday. I'm very excited about them because they're very lightweight and they're kind of chunky, which I like because I got a lot going on at the top of me. And then my legs are kind of my legs are are toned, but they're very skinny compared to the rest of me. So I like a chunky shoe because it kind of bounces out the whole, the whole shabin.
