(laughing) - Tell me a thing or two about the dipthongs. - I just remember that. - Is that from Schemes? - No, it's from my linguistics class in college. And I just remember no one else was laughing when we were learning about dipthongs. It's like when two letters come together to form a different sound. So like, oh, I is a dipthong, like oil, like oil, like, oh, I together, like make that new sound. - But all letters put together make a new sound. - Yeah, but it's like, usually you can separate it letter by letter and like, sound it out. - Yeah, for that. - You know, okay, Connor, you can do on, or, like, that makes sense. But like, you would not be able to separate oil by it. - Or like, guess. - Yeah, the ue there might be. - It's like a eh. - If that's possible. - Yeah. - All I know is that, oh, I is a dipthong. - Wewe? - Oh, we. - The answer, I was talking to myself in French today on the way here. - Talk, tell me about it. - I don't really know what I was saying. - Talk to me, talk to me. - But I should French in high school.

Clay Aiken, follow you on Instagram. - I mean, I screamed. - From the rooftops. - From the rooftops. - Well, how exciting for you. - What a tree. I wonder what it was that he saw. You know? There's no telling, but there's been a number of, there he could have seen any. - Oh, it could have been anything. My guess is that it was this clip of me and Brittany talking about who made us women. And I said Clay. - That's what I think of. - And I said Clay. - So, yay! - Okay, that's really special. Have you guys communicated at all? - No. But I'm just like that is like amazing to me. - That's so awesome. Happy for you. - Thank you. - There's always, oh, happy Passover. - Oh my God, happy Passover. - I got like, there's no point in when I'm like, oh, I got you this, but I forget to bring it. I got you a card at Trader Joe's. - That's so nice. - Trader Joe's said happy Passover. - That's so nice because I didn't even know it was Passover till you said that. I'm so disconnected. It's so sad. - I'm so locked in. - Yeah. Thank you for celebrating my culture with me. - You know what's, I think it's been happening to me. Recently, it's like I am having another era of just like I am taking and consuming. So much media, like across the board. - Like on your phone or on the TV or everything. - Everything, like it's really crazy. I think it's because I'm in like a doldrum type beat, not depressed, just like, like had a, had a, had a busier period of my career, but I'm not like cool with taking. So I told you yesterday, I was like, we recorded something yesterday. And I got, it was like a big drive and I got home and I was like, oh, I'm already done with everything until we were recording tomorrow. And I couldn't even get ahead on it, anything 'cause I'd already gotten ahead of on everything. - The fact that like that's your like uneasy feeling and that's my like heaven as a place on earth with you. - Oh, I texted her like, I'm kind of freaking out. I'm, it's like six p.m. and I'm like kind of done with my day and she was like, oh, how nice. And I was like, no, I'm gonna like walk somewhere really far. Yeah, to me, it's just like I can't. I get to cozy up with my boys in my book and what a blessing life is yeah Yeah, but I've been consuming so much media and then last night I like before but obviously like everything right now media wise Is like really everything I should do we should do a segment on here like what scared me the worst on Twitter yesterday Which like everything really truly truly like heart sinking. I'm scared Which I never used to be like that I think like it's really hard to tell like what is fear mongering him? What is like an actual news report mm-hmm Yeah, well, I just don't know anything That I haven't known anything so I Don't get a lot of stuff sure I don't understand and I don't resonate with a lot of stuff and I guess yesterday was the address would there's an address to the nation sure like tonight like there's three countries doing an address to the nation and It's kind of like Why are you like soft launching the address to the late why you soft launching the address to the nation like how Alex Cooper Like teases her podcast, you know, is that what's happening? Yeah Like tell us what you're doing tomorrow, you know like Should we go to work today, you know like is there a point? You know what I mean like should someone quit their job today instead of like Ghost go, you know, what are you thinking they're gonna say like no? No, yeah, and I and I think it's gonna be lockdown for energy. I think it's gonna be like No Yeah, I think it's gonna be like an energy Saving lockdown because Australia just already did it today because we're on a different time zone Just like preserve energy don't drive as much if you don't need to don't get too much gas at the thing because they're not in the war But they want to keep their taxes low for like truckers. They call them truckies and So that's just that was what scared me yesterday Yeah, but I mean that's not the worst thing that scared me yesterday because I did hear that there's an alien human breeding branch of the government now Which I got me there's always been Yeah, there's always been that's what what's a call this what area 51. Yeah Now the thing about the alien human hybrids like if that is a real thing like I'm gonna be upset if they live longer and are taller than me, you know They were they did a season remember that like it wasn't American horror story, but it was American horror stories There was a season about area like why do I keep forgetting the number 51? Yeah, there was a season about area 51 and human alien breeding I'm just so out of the loop With human alien breeding, I don't think there's a loop to be in there for the general public I think there's a deeper dive that could be done. Yeah, but then it's like you enter Conspiracy theorist. Oh my gosh. Yeah, what isn't it can be what isn't now because now and I'm gonna go and do another conspiracy theory I think tonight might be either the lockdown or we're launching this space Again, and we're going to the moon which is the first time since we went to the moon the last time and Everyone's like, oh my gosh, it's so dangerous. We're so worried. We hope they make it back safe It's like we didn't we do this before color TV was invented. It could also literally just be Trump is renaming the Palm Beach Airport Or he finished the ballroom. Yeah Which would be huge news for us. We'll see Yeah, no, it's true. I like a lot of people are like it's just gonna be him being like we won I'm sure yeah Anyways, that's my fear mongering essay of the day. Let me make sure there was no more fear mongering to be to be done That we should have a fear mongering segment that people can skip Like from like 10 to 25. We're doing fear mongering And then we're doing pop culture. Yeah Okay, guess who fear mongering culture. We're starting with homophobes homophobes guess who fear mongering TV. I'm watching milking farm milking farm Moon launch the Kit Kat Heisen you're up. I Saw that the the draft More news on homophobes Here here I haven't planted my flags yet. I'm gonna do it during pride month You're gonna do how many flags you just said plural Well, I have 50 well now I 49 because Once here and if y'all are coming to our shows. I'm gonna be giving out some pride flags cool But yeah, I don't know how many I'll plant but now now I'm starting to get scared of this person the neighbor Because now I've noticed she's parked her car in a way that's like blocking Me and and my gay neighbors and I think she's trying to get us to hit it Because she has cameras lined up everywhere outside of her car. So I think she she's she's got something up her sleeve You don't have like a higher You don't have like a higher Power that you could reach out to you, right? I have my landlord who's like on it Could you be like My neighbors trying to get me to hit her car like I don't have the Concrete proof. It's just a theory based off of the way she's it's like just Like are two driveways. It's so hard to explain like are separated by a massive drop-off That I've dropped down off of quite a few times and then I had to press All of my weight on the gas to reverse back up Does that make sense? There's just like a drop-off. Yeah, that if I dropped off I'd be in her driveway But she's parked now like Right up against the drop-off so that I couldn't drop off which is like ideally I would never drop off but like sometimes I need to drop off to To wiggle my way out of the driveway So it's hard to explain like she's technically within her limits, but she's pushing she's testing me. I see she's testing me Like I have to do it like an extra 55-point turn To maneuver because like the front of my car usually enters into that space without me fully dropping off But now it can't I like I hear like she's blocking us in and you're like fully able to get in and out of your driveway. It's harder It's harder. You've seen my driveway. It's it's really hard to maneuver and she's making it extra difficult What do you say what can you say nothing? I want to know What do you want to put a pride flag on her car, but she has cameras all around it You write a note on the pride flag happy pride Move your car or else and also the way she's parked like It's very hard for her to get into that position like there's no reason for her to be parked the way that she is what I like Whew, you know Have to be pretty unhappy to be parking like that for sure. That's what I'll say Well bless your heart. I'm here for so long and I'm worried because like I think when I get back I have to move Why because that's like how long I'm gonna be here for the stretch of time My hair fell out of my clip does it look weird? Mm-hmm. I can't see the back of your head. Okay Um Is there a day you have to be out? What day do you have? I don't know That at this point I'm too scared to ask. No, you need to ask. Are you months to months now? No, they they wouldn't do it They wouldn't they wouldn't do that so you need to find out the last day that you can be in your apartment Yeah, that's a good my guess is is it the end of April It's definitely May like the beginning of May Okay So you'll be back in time. Yeah, it's on April yet, right? I say per first. Oh my god. We didn't do any April fools I don't fuck with April fools. To be honest like There should be years where you skip it Like it should be a leapier thing. Yeah, cuz like Maybe I need to get on meds because it's like I wouldn't I'm not like cool with people doing jokes right now No, I don't like I don't I'd I rarely like cranks And like especially don't like if they're directed to retain and especially right now if a brand is like Let's do like this insane thing. It's like You're in my I'm not buying a product from you for a little bit I'm not we're not none of us are in the mood for an April fool. Just you're clogging up my airspace I haven't gotten I haven't really opened my phone this morning in an amazing way So I haven't gotten pranks yet Oh my gosh you probably don't have that. I guess my old job was so bad like I'm I've told that I've said this before on here But like my old jobs were scary because they were all startups and so like I would just have to like not ever turn my phone on Do not deserve and so like my vibration of my phone getting a text like wakes me up in a way that like If someone broke into the my bedroom like that's it feels the same. I feel like I'm literally this year just got out of the If my dad texted me. I'm in trouble Phase of my life. Like I always used to think if I got a text from my dad. I was in trouble. I just always think someone died I would love to be in trouble. Oh, no. I have like a Fear of getting in trouble. Let your papa I just feel like he would most like He would always like in high school like if I left like something out on the counter just send a picture of it with no text and so I think I've always expecting Like to get a picture of like this cereal that I left out for something for the AC that I didn't turn down There's going to be an age that But your father gets where he's going to just send you a picture of cereal and it's going to reach or get this whole thing, but he's just going to be like, I'm supposed to eat in this cereal today. Maybe. Oh, I have something I want to say, but I can't. I have something I want to say, but I can't. Oh, I could talk about the fact that I have a huge black eye. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I hit my face on a ladder, which is so funny that that's like we've kind of manifested that. I'm always talking about ladders on here. Yeah. And how that's my favorite icebreaker. Yeah. Oh, I kind of love that for me. I wish it didn't happen where like I have other, like I wish I just would have gotten the black eye. Right. I get that. I'm so intrigued by the way that you scab because you didn't, you were saying you weren't bleeding. No, I just, I get like a strawberry and it scabs in a way where it's like I have a big open wound, but like it doesn't make any sense to me. There was hours for the day where like it wasn't even notice, not even noticeably bleeding and then it just scabs. I don't get how you can have a scab without any sort of open skin, who I didn't like open skin. Well, then you know what, you're not going to like that new show, something very bad is going to happen. Oh, I want to see that. Is it too gory for me? Yeah. I also started watching it last night and I had the like the weirdest string of evil dreams, like not even like scary, just like weird as hell. Who's in that show? Camilla Monroe and Adam DeMarco. Oh my God. She is the most beautiful person that I have ever seen in my life. I've just learned like how to properly use camp in a way like still working on that. Everything's a little bit over the top theatrical in this show. Like it's a little bit you start watching it and it's like, okay, if the first thing, I'm just going to give you the premise because I've only watched one episode. He's basically getting married to Adam. And he's part of this rich family. Everyone's bizarre. I'm talking about one small inconvenience on a eight hour road trip going to get like we're calling it off, you know, like I'm not someone who has something bizarre happened to me where I'm like deeply unsettled and you just keep going with the trip. You know, like and then to yeah, and this is like a thing where like there's a string of things and it's like, she always has this gut feeling and there's thing after thing. And it's like bizarre things. That sounds good. Yeah. And it's like that then the family's weird and they're really kind of just like bizarre and mean to her and like in a crazy way. It's just like, no, we're calling it off. I guess that's the point of the show that you're just like on edge on edge. And there's a lot of like, you know, I'm laying in my hotel bed and there's jumps. I'm excited. Yeah, it's it's good. Like, I mean, I don't know. I'm not like a horror movie watcher and there is like a lot of bleeding. Okay. I that I don't know. Like do you see actively like them like slicing? No, just like a woman running into a mirror and then like, I know it's bleed. Okay. Those are fine for me. Like what I can't watch is like stabbing or like I can't watch doctor shows because of like surgery. Yeah. Hey, when I see like skin be slice, I can't do that. I can't do that. But like if you're already bleeding, like I can look at a bloody body. Does that make sense? I just can't watch it happen. If I'm seeing active piercing, you don't want to see how the sausage is made. Yeah. So like I couldn't watch someone be put into a meat grinder, but I could see the meat. I don't think I could see that. I watch it either. Yeah. I'm sure there's someone out there that could watch someone be put into a meat grinder. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. There's so many people who don't have a problem with that. I couldn't eat meat for like a full-blown week after watching the Jeffrey Dahmer thing. That know that was hard. There was a truck. I just got chills in my body. I don't remember. I think I lived here when we watched that and there was a truck that was always in my neighbor because there was a restaurant and it had this like huge slab of raw meat on it and I was like, move that truck. Move that bus. Yeah. I know. It's just like it looked like human. Yeah. He. Yeah. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. And then I'll just keep going with TV because I feel like weirdly brain dead and all I've been doing is consuming media. Connor, I told you I've been proud of myself for how much TV I've been watching because that means my attention span is growing. Mine's getting small. I feel like I'm getting dumber. Oh my gosh. I'm getting dumber. I need to finish the book. I've been reading for six months. What book? Stoner. Oh. I love the cover of that one. Do you? It looks like a classic. It's varied. It's varied. Like, ups. Unsettling. Yeah. Wait. But when did that come out? Like it's not a classic. Right? No. I love that. Yeah. I love that cover. What's it about? Oh. It's old. Never mind. 1965. Yeah. It is old. Okay. Never mind. I thought it was like a modern book that like took on an old timey cover. So I liked that. But now I don't care for it. What's it about? Do you know? So I think I on the front. And he's just like, he would like it. He's just like so in love with like reading and writing, like literature. Why are you reading this? Like takes over his life. Why do you do this? You know what? There's this series that boys are reading. It's like a boy book. And it's called Dungeon, Crawler, Carl. Dylan was telling me about it. And a few further. Okay. Literally just told me I need to watch like Bob the Builder book. No. This is literally Captain Underpants for grown up. Carl's Doomsday scenario. No. No. Boys are loving it. It's for grown up boy. It's meant technically. grown up boy. Dylan is reading it. I'm not watching. I'm not reading Dungeon Crawler. Dylan is reading it. No. This looks. It's good. Apparently. Like my friend, like Tomson is reading it, like grown up boys. I'm not reading something. I'm just. Dungeon Crawler. Where are you reading Stoner? Why are you reading about a man who's loved for literature? It's overwhelming. Like that is not for you. Dungeon Crawler, Carl's for you. The butcher's masquerade is for you. I am not reading the butcher's masquerade. I think that you should. What in the. No. I'm not Doomsday Carl. I'm. These are all over Barnes & Noble. Like this is what boys are reading. Like if you read the. Like if you were a young boy reading Captain Underpants and shit like that, and you liked the Hunger Games, it's like Captain Underpants meets the Hunger Games. I don't even know what it's about, but I'm just guessing. I wasn't. You know what? I never read Captain Underpants. You think you're better than Captain Underpants? I probably did think that. Yeah. I probably said you guys are here. Yeah. I wasn't gifted in talented concerts. Yeah. I moved forward with AP. What was AP? Advanced placement. Advanced. Advanced placement. Oh wait, look at my book. I brought my book today. Look how thick this is. Yeah. That's how I'm going to work with it. Do you see that? Yeah. I'm loving these Carson City books, you guys. It's 805 pages. That's. Yeah, that's. Can't. But wow. Just wow. Let me think what I was reading when everyone else was reading Captain Underpants. What grade was that? Um. Young. There was goose bumps. So when people. I didn't see. I didn't see magic tree house. I was reading magic tree house. Ragger the overlander with my favorite. And box-car children. Then there was warriors. So none of those. You're a box-car? Box-car in house. I didn't like box-car. My mom liked box-car for some reason. So I. I feel like it's very wholesome. Yeah. And it was like. I loved like Goonies vibes. You know, like these kids are like. Well, I think that they were like orphans. There was also this one, not tale of Desperot. You know, tale of Desperot. That was about a mouse. But then there was these other ones about a mouse named Jeronimo, I think, you know. I knew Jeronimo. Is he. Would you mind looking up Jeronimo chapter books for kids, mouse? I loved this guy. No. Maybe his name wasn't Jeronimo. Oral the dumb. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. Jeronimo Sultan. Loved. Loved his ass. Yeah. I loved him. Um. What else was around that time? I think we got, we got most of them. But I loved. Oh my God, I mean, what I would get. That's what I'm going to do. Sorry, I didn't say my sentence out loud. No, no, no, no. Didn't get there with me. We need. I guess we kind of have them. But we need like a mainstream scholastic book fair for adults. Yeah. That would be nice for people. It would be just so awesome. So what's like. But like, I'm wondering like. What are you wondering? And I'm going to. I'm going to raise my concern to you. I was going to say, I guess I'm wondering like what is the difference between a bookstore and a scholastic event for adults. There's none. No, there is. I want offers to come in. I want like Coachella for books. I guess there's book on, but like, I don't really understand what that is. Yeah, well, because like, it was fun for us because we were getting out of class. You know, there was like novel. No, there was so much more to it. We couldn't drive to a bookstore in elementary school. That was our big event. But it was like, the scholastic employees would come in. I don't know if you had this. They would come in a few days before the book. my dad didn't you had a booklet in front of you with all the new books it was like a little mat scholastic magazine and they would go through and they would explain the synopsis of each book and you could like take notes on if you like them or not oh my god thank you rich dad that must have been a really nice school I thank you rich dad I actually didn't get any money for the book fair I had to call my mom and pop up and ask for credit card number thank you I guess that's not helping my case thank you rich grandparents no but everyone had cash and I didn't get cash I had to go I had to get my credit card number so so oh I hate that I know I know so sad I mean I want to I'm just thinking of like if you made it adult vibes which I guess what you're yearning for is pretty much the same energy I like don't know what the adult version of like those animal shaped erasers would be to put on my wooden pencil I mean adults love I love cool bookmarks I love erasers any any bookish March like post no post it notes like annotation notes bookmarks as I already said highlighters just I love all that stuff you know I said I have like no memory yeah I do remember specifically like this the music that was playing and I remember what the bathrooms were like in my elementary school and like I remember kind of the route of my elementary school which is weird does it yes it was just so long ago did you ever have this blue hand sanitizer that was kind of foamy I don't know okay yeah we did this blue sanitizer hand sanitizers it was kind of foamy mm-hmm and if I smelled that right now I think I would actually teleport like a bath like that I think I would actually tell yeah exactly I have this one memory awesome memory I think I told it before just like one of our teachers cars exploded in the parking lot and we got to all spins like the entire half the day just like watching at burn that's all that is off and then at some point all the tires popped from the heat and it went up in the air for a second she's her crying but like I remember everyone else is like like fireworks show you know I literally like I loved elementary school so much like I was one of those kids it's like if I had to miss school it was like I was beside myself but I also like my school was really like camp yeah it was such an amazing place I wish everyone middle school not so much high school not so there's like a very like evil a couple years for me too that I just like oh I can pick it kids just suck I my ninth and tenth was evil kids just suck I worry about kids I know I can't imagine it's any better now and they're me and not the phones I know must be far oh Jesus age like I can't imagine thank you teachers thank you thank you to thank you to kids I don't think any kids listen but oh my gosh you just have to you unfortunately just have to like keep going oh one time you remember form spring of course I don't know oh form spring the anonymous like you could post anonymous on someone yeah but it was form spring before ask that I think but there was this when I was a freshman there was this senior girl who I thought was just like the coolest pretty a squirrel in the world and I wanted to be her friend so badly and we like we're developing a kind of friendship did you hear my stomach growl to send that was mine oh well and then I wrote on her form string who's your favorite freshman and I forgot to make an anonymous it was just me said that said that that that was really hard what did she answer someone out she said you exclamation oh her two two's were that I didn't want that's not what I wanted that wasn't how I wanted that to go oh oh broke that's humiliating Connor try and lift me up instead of putting me back down no I mean like you're past it too you're acknowledging that it's I'm not putting you back down I'm happy that is embarrassing but that's like a pin 15 type situation like that's like it can in developmental situation that happens you're like okay now we keep going perfect example keeping going it was hard to keep going but yeah anyway I guess this ties into something else that I wanted to talk about this classic book there I'm gonna open I've been missing tiny bookshop recently yeah and it sucks because I can't really play it again because I know how it ends I notice you just took your phone out wasn't it when I was just checking my notes okay I am gonna run my own bookstore at a beach town like that's something that I'm gonna do great goal and but I'm starting to like as I come upon 30 soon it's like let's let's start to really think about doing that yeah and Kat's gonna do it with me and we're also gonna make it a cat rescue so like we're gonna foster cats in the bookstore and like people who shop like can adopt them so kind of cat cat cafe x bookstore and there will be a caddo attached for our cats as well and we're gonna have this beach town and like our some of our other friends are also gonna start their establishments there so it'll be like a compound so I think like Tristan and Miles are gonna do like bar x like music fun record store and so he's gonna be in charge of like the gift shop and like crap that's like at the bookstore what will you do and by the way we're thinking Carmell by the sea right now that work that's really lovely I really want you to watch perlandy a little bit you want do you want me to do Oregon no it's just like it feels like exactly it feels like so up this alley of this this one's get they do oh okay well basically I'm in the market for a beach town yeah that's willing to kind of rent their whole city to me Carmell by the sea would be perfect because it's so tiny it's so tiny and looks like it's right out of Shrek I've never been but I kind of want to go to the east coast I just feel like you wouldn't have like as much of a vibe there like you do like a road island type situation yeah new port yes like a yes but then it's like then you have off seasons which is hard that's what I was thinking but you might like an offseason I might what else would you go to like Europe true that true that but anyway what what do you want to do in the town um what would I want to do in the town see like I have always wanted the coffee shop you can do the coffee shop yeah I think I forgot who you think someone else is doing the coffee shop that you might have a co-owner that would be lovely because I don't want to be fully in charge okay yeah I forgot he's working that with you but someone I had oh my god you just reminded me I had the best idea of the weekend what so I'm sitting at a restaurant and I'm looking at this other table and I'm like God they were having so much fun it's hard for me not to be like what restaurant where you at this place in New York cafe Clooney and we've been there yeah we went there together yeah yeah and I'm sitting we locked out and we got an outdoor table yeah like by the grace it got because I didn't even have a reservation and it was like I guess it was like if there's a night it was it's just now getting very nice out everyone's putting the tables back inside and I'm sitting outside and I'm looking like from the outside looking in at this table co-ed table they're laughing I can't hear how a lot a lot they're laughing but I can tell that it's like with their just the age demographic mid 20s it's just like you know that's your prime and I'm just like I don't say that it's part of your life and I like I'm like oh what are they talking about you know what would be amazing what a silent disco you put the headphones in and you look around at different tables having conversations and everyone signs a waiver coming in you can tap into different tables conversations and listen in I don't think anyone would like consent to that if you're willing and able unlike you want to go in and tap into other people's conversations and like listen then and it wouldn't be a spy then you're signing a waiver going in but the like the listen in cafe the biggest it I've ever gotten from a guy was during a silent disco when my headphones were off oh why did you do that that's kind of sensing I think I didn't itch on my ear or something but like I just had to take my headphones off first I can't take yourself out of this no it was really hard but like if anyone needs the itch just like try to put yourself in a position where your headphones are off at a silent disco and his are on he's dancing to the beat that does not exist to you yeah that sucks that's the most fun I've ever had was at ECL and we went to the silent disco and we accidentally we were in a stop there on the way to the killers which was my one and only chance ever see the killers not that I like really need to I guess like I'm not massive you know the strokes different story the killers not so much and we stopped in the silent disco I was with like some of my best friends and we dance and we dance and I had never laughed harder and that's like one of my most special memories is this that's sweet yeah it was very fun I really want to go to the Renaissance fair that reminded me yeah me too I would we need to we should go I know I want to wear a corset that's comfortable though I want to I want to need a turkey leg which I just learned is fully ham no turkey legs we've had the discussion before about turkey it's not turkey it's ham it's a turkey leg what kind of massive massive turkey no turkey legs are not ham they are No, I'm not saying no turkey. Legs are not him. I know that, but at the Renaissance fair, they are. No, they're not. A fair turkey leg is a massive smoked turkey drumstick. Likely from a male to turkey prize for its tender juicy raw and savory ham-like flavor. I mean, there might be a ham-like flavor to it. Is you talking about the smokiness? Maybe I was talking about the juxtaposition. Like, where do you confidently, like, where do you get the information that makes you 100% sure that a turkey leg at the Renaissance fair is ham? I mean, I guess being a man, I guess. Like, that's one of my death, but that's one of my downfalls. But I really didn't, I don't consider turkey's juicy. Dark meat can be juicy, but is it dark meat? I thought it was like pink. That's dark meat is just like certain parts of the body. No, I know what dark meat is. I thought it was ham, y'all. That's ham. No, it's a turkey leg. It is pink, yeah. Multiple things can be pink. I love the way your brain worked. It's pink, so it must be ham. Ham pink, this turkey leg is pink must be ham. Oh my god, I've been telling everybody hamgate. I think you've said it on this podcast before. I haven't no one corrected me. I'm sure I must have tried. Okay, well, cool. I'm cool with that. The thing is, like, be open to learning new things and not being so dead set. You are, yeah. Convicted in something that you know nothing about. True. Yeah. I have exciting news, but it will mean nothing to you. And everyone already knows there's no point in me really saying it. See me too. But I'm just really excited because John Green is coming out with a novel. For the first time in 10 years, I saw it on Instagram or something, and it's his first ever adult novel. Like smart. No, just like not young adult. So like the thought in our stars was young adult. Like it's about teenagers. Yeah. And I read it when I was a teen. And so this one is for and about adults. That's cool because his fans are like growing up in their adults. Exactly. Yeah. And it was like, he was like, I don't know if I'll ever write a novel again. So it's really exciting that he's writing one, that he is written one and it's coming out September. I do feel like that's an H. You don't subscribe to, you know, the novel. It's like psoriasis. No, I think like you would like if you're really good at that, you keep creating bangers like, why would you like what would make you really like gotten his head after the thought in our stars? Like it's really hard to have something that is that successful. And then have to keep writing after that. He wrote one novel after the thought in our stars. And I think he's spoken a lot about how it's like, there's like a really big pressure. I feel like it will never measure up. That's that, that's my favorite saying thing. What? Everything that you create doesn't need to be the best ever. It's a stepping stone to your next thing. Lower the state. Yeah, but then it's hard when it's like, you did make your best ever. And then like, oh, probably nothing will ever be as good. You don't, like you just never know that. You never know. You never know. Here's what I'll say about about John Green. Fault in our stars, he did the fault in our stars. And then he did something called turtles all the way down. The fault in our stars was my favorite, but turtles all the way down. Like change turtles all the way down turtle all the way down changed my life. What does that mean? It was about a character with OCD. And that's how I learned that I had OCD. So even though it wasn't my favorite, it's still like changed my life, you know? So that's cool. Anyway, I'm really excited. That's going to be great. Thanks. I am excited. Maybe he'll do a press tour. You might. You might. That's something I'm excited about. Tell me. And this one like kind of hurts me. Like I mean, like this is something that I feel like you about, you, you will resonate with this part of me. Yeah. Is it like I've always been like a huge fleet with Mac fan? Oh, absolutely. Huge CV next fan. That's going to be someone who yeah, like it's really going to be any of those. I think it's my mom is like such a huge fan. You know, like I've been like indicted into this like fan ship. And I've been like it's on my number one artist every year, too. Like are not number one, but like in my top five love stories. Season two by Ryan Murphy is going to be about Fleetwood Mac. Are we, is that confirmed? Yes, it's taking her head now. Wait, it was posted yesterday. I just saw something on Twitter that said, because I was going to put it in this. That said it was April 4th. Oh, damn, got my ass. Stevie has been in American horror stories. So that's not like out of left field that she would be tied to a Ryan Murphy project. Yeah, no, but it was, um, Billy Lord and Connor story hasn't been written. No, we're not Congress. You've Congress. So bizarrely weird to post something like that. Like maybe it will maybe maybe, well, yeah. I'm like, oh, like I'm going to, I'm going to put in a boycott. Yeah. Yeah. You're mad. I see. Oh my gosh. Like it got, it got so much traction. I'm so disgusted because that is that would be like such a great love story. I mean, there's so much time to it. And especially because of how much traction, like, like with the disgusting, the, the leather and lace of it all, what is that? Get away from the sound of the one that loves you. Yeah. Yeah. No, you won't. Oh, no, that would be, it Lindsay Buckingham and CB Nick's story would be just John. Wow. We'll see the AHS zone on Twitter. You're my list. Yeah. I'm sorry. That is Dominic Sessa as John McVee. Great casting. Actually met him the other night. And they have Connor stories. Lindsay Buckingham. Thank you. Oh, yeah, Lucy Boynton as Christine McVee. I don't know. Yes, you do. She was in Bohemian Rhapsody. Who's Boynton? Wow. Did you see Connor stories rising commercial? Really? Well, we can watch it in bonus. They made like a feature film of it. It's like five minutes long and it's like a horror film. It's, it's insane. It's a completely new way of doing commercials. Well, there's a new era of doing commercials, like, I saw something the other day. When there was like, Super Bowl commercials coming out and someone was like Sabrina Carpenter teases her Samsung commercial. And it was like the concept of Sabrina Carpenter teasing her commercial. Yeah, we're reaching a point of like consumerism where we're teasing commercial. Well said. Yeah. Like, I'm having dreams of products in my brain. It just, it sucks because like, they're when that's horrible, but like on the other hand, if like, Connor story was teasing his rise in club, I'd be like sitting at the rise and starfaded. He's gonna fuck the flip phone. Wait till you see what happened. It was really good. I've watched it like three times. Oh, I'm excited. It's like, but it's a horror mode. Let me try to like horror. Try to guess or they're devise their device. Yeah, kind of, yeah. Yeah. Is it device the president? Um, I guess I'll just see. I really don't like have any creative phone to spare. It's a really good, you want me to tell you the concept here. He like, he's at this like really secluded kind of scary house and like, things keep happening, like the alarm goes off. Something else happened. I don't want to shit keeps happening. And then it turns out it's because his ass is so fat that he kept activating his phone in his back pocket. Interesting. But it was scary. That's really created. It wasn't it? To make the concept of a Verizon tie in his piece, the concept of a Verizon commercial to be centered around his, his huge. Yeah. Isn't that amazing? That's what I'm like, maybe we're going in a good direction. But then it's like six something else comes out and that's 16 steps back. Yeah, I think that's fun. Yeah, it was really fun. To me, that's fun. I enjoyed myself. And I was like, oh, this is scary. I really liked it. Oh, yeah. And he felt really creatively fulfilled by the project. Did he share that? Yeah. Oh, that's really great. Yeah, it really is. Loving things come together in that way. I do too. Oh, well, now I'm really upset. Why? Just about the Fleetwood Mac thing. I know I saw like the life go out of your eyes. It's really hard for me to like get back into what we were talking about. Do you want me to give you a few options? Well, I have one right here. Okay. Talk to me. Talk to me. Oh, my gosh. Unless this is an April Fool's joke, too. Like I don't know. Like I could be. No, it is. Like I'm just feel stupid as hell. What was it? Like there's no point in me sharing anything like this. We should have skipped. Oh, everything I have on my notes today was fake. What? Tell us what they are. The alien breeding program. Like I don't think that's real. Okay. Now I'm like, okay. And did they actually steal 16 tons of KitKats in Europe? I'm assuming not. I believe the KitKats because that was yesterday. Is Instagram? It's not kosher to do April Fool's on March 31. Is Instagram launching a feature paid feature to stock people's stories? Unseen? - You can already do that. - Paid? - Unpaid anonymous viewer.com or something. I already do that all the time. Yeah, Kit Kat's real. - Oh. - This is real, but not really. - Well, you're like, well, we believe Matt Gaetz now? - No, I don't think we do. - You think Trump could keep that a secret? We're breeding aliens. They're the. - That would be crazy. Imagine aliens actually. Obama said they do exist. - Okay, well, they do. But it's just like. - Did you see him say that? It was kind of like, whoa. - I saw him do it on the same day that something else huge happened. I'm like, oh, bummer. - Did it got buried? - Buried completely. That would be such a bummer if like you released something that was massive and then someone did something else. I think Trump did something that day and it was just like, okay, that was on purpose. - Yeah, it's like when people come out with an album the same day as Taylor Swift. And it's like, you have to just move your album. - I think like Taylor Swift would usually come out with an album the same day as that man. That would be an intentional move. - Oh. - Oh. - You know, Matthew Morrison is replacing Jonathan Groff in just in time today. - I believe she was at the same Pilates classes. - Is that not the spherical? - Just like crouching. - Pat literally just texted. This is like this. Speaking of things that are April fools. - Oh, do you think it might see? - No, it's not. - Really second type of April fools. It's nothing. - This is not April fools. - Nothing is very funny to me. - It just doesn't make sense. And I'm confused because here's why I'm confused. Jeremy Jordan is replacing Jonathan in a few weeks who's like fabulous. But why are we doing this like three week in turn of Matthew Morrison? Just like, let's just go right to Jeremy Jordan or extend Jonathan or close down the show for a little. - And it's not that Matthew Morrison is bad. It's just like, not, it's not a match. You know, like he-- - I don't, I'm sorry. - It's just trust me when I say it's not a match. - Okay. - So cute not a match. That's what someone said to Tristan on a grinder. (laughing) So cute not a match. - That's just hard. - But yeah, Kat texted me last week when we were recording and it was just a picture of her and crossfit, solid core. And just heard Matthew Morrison like under a sign that was like girl boss girl town or something. Just working out together and she said, is this Mr. Schuster? - Absolutely. - Why wouldn't it be? Apparently they were knuckling the whole time. Which I, oh yeah. Like is that not crazy? Built by women power by women. Yeah. - Solid core is so hard. That's really cool that they're doing it together. - Yeah, no, I, like to me, like I'm talking shit but like if I were doing solid core with Mr. Schuster I'd be knuckle punching him as well. Like a kid job. - I can't imagine like having a free second during solid core to knuck someone unless I was laying for a long while on my ass on the ground. - I'm obsessed with his, look at the way he's crouching his feet or like sticking it back out. - I don't look like that. I did a solid core class with, I think it was was Celsius and we all went in and there was a moment where I was asked to join in with the other young men that did the solid core class and I passed. - Out. - No, I passed on the picture. - Oh, okay. - I would love to show the other young men as a photo. I said I'm gonna sit out for the photo because it wouldn't be, I don't think it would be, it's so cute on a map for me to be in that photo. And I love when I get invited to do like a branded event with, that is like a workout class because it's like what that I put out like gave you the idea that I would be like be a good. - Oh, I've been invited too. I've never gone. - Match for this. I like to work out completely alone so much show that I've told you before. If I just start, ooh, Brooke, hang now, leave it alone. Oh, that was huge. - I ate it. - Oh my God, it looks like a second finger coming off of your finger. Holy moly, did that not hurt? - No, it was like the skin was so dead that it wasn't like attached to my skin. - Worried. - Hey. - Oh, y'all, this is bad. - No, I have, here's what I think will help you understand. Is he, can we look up Matthew Morrison, one man show? He's been doing this one man show and this is what he's leaving to do just in time. And like, if I can just get a TikTok of this for you, I think you'll start to understand. Yeah, let's give this one a whirl. - As it's best, is a dance. - That's nice, huh? - You bring your steps, your heart, your truth. So I expect others to do the same, but sometimes that dance takes an unexpected turn. - And this is a real, this is real. - This is exactly my set. - The ground disappears from any of my feet. The call stopped, the door's closed. And one by one, the people around me turn their backs. And I was left sitting in the silence, asking the questions you asked yourself. - Okay, I get it. - I don't know if you do. - No, I do. I think I got like, that was like a good tidbit enough for me to like grasp. - You would have liked his talent of his 9/11 retelling. - As well. - Why do you think I would have liked that? - It's a unique perspective. - You think I would have liked Matthew Morrison's unique retelling of the 9/11 experience? - I do. His 9/11 experience. - Where was he? - But you'll have to watch the clip. Okay, I'll watch it in the bonus. Okay, well, why not? I'll hit it here. - I think I get it. The concept of Matthew Morrison getting cheated on on 9/11. And that's what he's speaking about here. - Yes. - Here's my 9/11. I was being cheated on. - On 9/11 though. He's talking about his experience 9/11 rushing home. She was girlfriend, open the doors, and bad with another man. But like he told it, like in his Matthew Morrison way. - Oh, and that was at city winery? - He was at city winery? - Nashville. - Oh, cool. - Oh, he's there right now. Yeah, I wanted to go see him, but no one would go with me. - I would go. - Would you? - Yeah, I told you this. - But now he's doing just in time. - Oh, it's not that. - That's the problem. That's the freaking problem. So, anyway, he is like to follow Jonathan Groff. That's what I'll say about that. - Do you think I'll ever really meet Jonathan? - Groff? - Yeah. - Yeah, there's been several individuals like very close to him. - I just feel like I keep like getting close, but never close enough. - In time. - And I know I technically met him not for a brief moment at funding girl, but that didn't count. - In time. - Okay. Just take a breath, though. Putty go. - Single putty? - Yeah, very putty. - Oh, happy path over. - Happy path over my border. (laughing) - I'm not your border, I'm your papa. - Oh, papa. - I need to get into like a good zone of like Papa Eligium again. I need to like, that's like a lock in, but it just has to happen, which sucks. - You can't force that. - Oh, that was so fun. - I know, you can't force. We should have cat back on. - Yeah, we should. - Yeah. I do need, I wanna go, we're gonna do, I wanna make a business plan with her. - To move to Carmel by the sea? - I'm really like, I wanna do that as soon as possible, to move to my beach town. - I don't want you to move to your beach town. - I really like, I'm like freaking out. It's like the 30 of it all. It's like, I've gotta get started on the rest of my life. - You have, you're well beyond that. - But like at what, like when do you start your beach town? - I'm talking about the whole town. - Yeah, okay, I love it. - I think I should move to the keys. - I don't know a thing about the keys. - Then I'm like, should I wait till I like, get married and it's like, I might not, you know? So it's like, maybe I should just do it alone with cat. - I'm gonna show you this Portland India bit. In the bonus, it's so funny. - I'm just like, I wish I knew an exact timeline of how my life was gonna play out so I could plan accordingly around my beach town. - There's several movies about that and it never works out in the way that you think. - I know, so that's why I'm like, then I should just do it now. 'Cause it's like, what am I waiting for? I don't know. - You're waiting, you have so much happening right now. Maybe wait until you have a little like I have. Maybe I should start a beach town. - I think maybe I should just play tiny bookshop again. But I gotta crank up the volume. - Turn it up and not. - Yeah, let's turn it up and not. - Okay. - So I'm between the keys, Carmel by the sea. - Newport, Rhode Island. And I could do like a Nicholas Sparks type of like Carolina. - Yeah. - I've never been to any of these places. (laughing) - You've never been at Carmel by the sea? - No. - I know, I need to go. I-- - Monorais also be nice. - Now where's that? - Near Carmel, I think. - Okay. - Yeah, that's like big little eyes, right? - Yeah, I just went to a wedding there and it was great. - Yeah, I've gotta go to these places if I'm gonna move there, which I am. - At least go do some on the ground field research. - It is crazy. - Come on, Ray. - Also Carmel by the sea looks fake. - This looks fake, too? - Yeah, it does. But then I also wanna get out of California because of the taxes. - Okay, on the note on the taxes, let's wrap it up. But thank you guys so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed the Black Eye and the Carmelib at all. - We love you. - And we'll see you in the bonus. - Bye everyone. - And we'll see you hopefully at our live show if you're listening on Thursday. It's tomorrow, we'll see you tomorrow. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Come to San Diego. Irvine is next week and then Sacramento is also next week, next weekend. Okay, bye, thank you. (audience cheering)
