The conversation is a rich, unstructured stream of personal reflections, humor, and observations. It begins with a lighthearted discussion about a unique hair strand that seems to move on its own, symbolizing a deeper sense of self-awareness and individuality. The speaker connects this to personal growth and confidence, noting that self-acceptance enables boldness in public life. A sharp critique follows of social media habits, especially infinite scrolling, which the speaker sees as a form of digital addiction with serious mental health consequences. The narrative shifts to a deeply personal moment about misophonia—the dislike of chewing sounds—highlighting how small environmental triggers can dominate one’s emotional state. The conversation includes humorous anecdotes about failed deliveries in New York, a memorable disco birthday dinner in Maui, and a poetic reflection on creativity that emerges during movement. A key theme is the desire to find meaning in everyday life, leading to a proposal for a new podcast that interprets pop culture symbolically. The speakers ultimately decide to move back to New York, choosing an apartment based on emotional resonance rather than practicality. The tone remains warm and self-aware, blending vulnerability with wit, while ending with a satirical take on celebrity monopolies and the commercial expansion of the Kardashian-Jenner empire. The dialogue reveals a thoughtful, introspective mind navigating both personal and societal currents.
Oh Dude what nothing. What's up? Um, I'm on down. I'm in a really good mood. Really? Yeah Have we ever recorded on a Monday morning before? No, it's hard. Thank you for the flexibility. I really really appreciate it No problem. Um, and if we're still talking about the hair that's or can we talk about the hair? Yeah, I like it's really bothering I like it. It's the way that it's moving and bouncing on its own that one that one little strand Yeah, it kind of has a life of a tone in the way that like One time I've put this thing in my hair Um, and I was but it's not gonna help you like how you're feeling about that piece. So I'm gonna stop Well, I got my bangs cut a little bit shorter than I'm used to yeah And typically comfortable with because I wanted them to be like the perfect length when I go on tour Which I think they will be but now they're a little bit short and so I'm having trouble styling them because because of their micro bangs right now And this one. I think this strand is new like I don't I think she used to be long And now she's baby. Well, you made her feel like comfortable enough in her own skin to come out and Be center stage. Do you think I should swipe her more this way or this way? Can you? No, I don't think so. I don't think it's even an option. She's just spring forward. My god. What happened? I'll never forget my friend Morgan and like Fifth or something grade. She cut her Her what did the front little whispies? Yeah, baby hair. Yeah, she's college never they never grew She could never let them grow up because they would have stuck straight. Yeah. Oh my god. That's so hard That reminds me of but it's like not really similar to that this I'm on this TikTok of steroid topical steroid withdrawal, which is really scary. How do you get how do you get to these? I think you just oh like how do I get to those places? Yeah, like what do you mean topical steroid? Oh like like lotion? Like people who have like really bad eczema or something. I got that. No, no, no, no, no, no. I had the stuff that they were like Don't use this willy nilly because your skin will get addicted to it. Yeah. So these are people that has like used it like become dependent on it And the withdrawal is like it like brutal. No, they scared me so bad. I didn't even use the stuff that's on my Brudal my rash. It's kind of still with us today. Yeah So anyway I don't mean to minimize that by comparing it to my bangs, but it's just like Not really similar, but it is well the side of TikTok that I'm on That's like it's so crazy that you're like oh I'm on TikTok all day and it's like that's what you're consuming That's not even that's not even entertaining. That's like but I engage so it's like What choice do they have to give me more time to time to hop on to my app that I'm about to spend an hour and a half looking at other people's rashes It's not a crash in place of addiction. It's a very serious condition Oh that doesn't sound fun to me so hold like Like so small in and flaky. It's so sad and takes like it could take like years of course So you really have to commit to being addicted to topical steroids. No, it could be to going off Go off. Yeah go off gang go off gang of those topical steroids. I love that um someone I just saw this like Horrible tweet Horrible tweet The other day that said the guy that invented the User interface of infinite scroll probably caused more damaged to humanity than like Oppenheimer that created the the nuclear bomb Was Instagram not originally infinite scroll you had to type low are you to click load more but like but then no then you would hit the bottom and it would be like You'd hit the bottom you bottom out and same with like tumblr or same with everything you'd bottom out They'd be like we actually don't have anything else for you Like and I remember what did we do and we bottomed out eat a bowl of cereal. I think we would go I think we'd probably like get them get the mail Did you go get the mail ever it was something to do No my mail always went through the door Wait, that's not true at all. I always had a mailbox Why did you lie? I don't think I don't know Because I didn't get the mail and I felt embarrassed about it Brick get up like it's okay. You just call me brick brok. You just call me brick you genuinely just call me brick I call her brick. Oh damn. Okay Hi What was your name? Hi, I'm brick nice to meet you. I would get so upset when kids would call me brick when I was little Oh, it's like obviously I just pushed a button that like I wasn't aware of I didn't even mean to push that My feet look blue. No, oh they do why I think that that might be constructing your toes those Platform heels, but they're so loose Anyway, you're did you get smaller? What are your feet always like completely straight out when you shit in your belly? I'm sitting extremely far back. Okay. It's like there's no bend in your knee at all. You're sitting straight your legs are straight up flat Extremely far back. Okay, but yeah, no my knee would never like go here That's fabulous my feet don't ever get close to touching a floor even on the toilet Well, you're just dangling. You're so vulnerable. Yeah That's probably why I'm always hearing a knife is gonna shoot up and seared from the toilet because I'd sound like I could get like Like just yeah, I just want you know me with my legs on the ground I also wouldn't be able to get up if the knife was shooting a lot quicker Actually, but I think my legs touched the floor when I'm on the toilet Yeah, of course they do You must have made a lot of sorts. It's Monday It's okay. I wrote a poem Oh nice read it to us. Okay. It's good. It's about brook and go on and make a podcast. Oh, it's good really? Yeah I'm I'm like I guess I'm like jet lagged in the good way here because I woke up like 645 on the dog. Oh, yeah, it's later your time. Yeah, and I wrote this ready Here I am in this stew and of course wait. Were you here when you wrote it? No, okay, I was I think you already asked no, but like why isn't here this morning earlier Four hours ago. I didn't know that you wrote it four hours ago I said it's four oh, okay, you said you woke up at 645 you didn't say you were at the poem. It's six I woke up and I was like what do I do because I don't want to really go outside yet I was like I guess I'll ride a poem. I read it to us Here I am and by the way like hypothetical like I'm not actually I was in my bed. Got it in my hotel here. I am in the stew and of course you're here too 9 a.m. on the dot give or take about 20 Any questions for me. I'm sure you have plenty I'm hungry. I'm tired my stomach hurts going diving don't oh fuck I'm gonna start over Here I am in the stew and of course you're here too 9 a.m. I'm sure you have plenty. I'm hungry. I'm tired my stomach hurts Going diving with Dylan and our huge baggy shirts I'll take it here you take it there Ask so stuck to the Kelly Clarkson chair And many ways it feels like being back in class. I'm learning stuff. I've been too afraid to ask What's quantum? What's NATO and how cruise ships float and yeah, we're allowed to vote Whatever happened to that Malaysian airline case and who the hell pooped on my face Our tubes are tied so sorry. I died You have a heart out at 12. I guess I'll leave them to BNC MAP Whoo-hoo Is it really good? I'm being so serious when I tell you yes Was that genuinely you and not chat G put it all in no how could how could chat G even do that? I guess like they have access to our podcast. No, I wrote that that was all really really good and I do actually you know I had that thought I was like If you're feeling If you're feeling like AI is taking over the world don't forget about the a b a b rhyme scheme Like I really feel creatively released in that way. I was like I will always have a b a b rhyme scheme That was genuinely like Dr. Seuss. It felt that way. Yeah. Yeah. I did feel a little bit I'm laying in my bed kind of like you know that one meme of that guy and he's looking at his phone and just the blue lights out his face And he's like yeah, that was me this morning. Wow. Thanks. How are that was really beautiful? I know and I'm glad you shared that. Thanks. Will you share it at Netflix's joke? Yeah, oh my god. I forgot about that and you know what I've been trying to figure out some way to incorporate the podcast into into like the larger scope of the comedy really? Yeah Because I think a lot of people probably come to the show from I mean probably most come to the show from the podcast um, and I'm like trying to write Like we just share everything on here. So I think I just need to write about the the um inner Whatever Patrick says about our brain the inner working the inner Patrick star the inner workings of my brain are an enigma. What does he say? I don't know. I don't know I think we may maybe have to write more about the thought process getting put into Oh, yeah, the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma. When did he say that? Because I think this was what was in his parents came his box. Uh The one with the secret compartment. Yeah, you may need to Yeah of my mind are an enigma.
That always really got me, and I don't think it's like intentionally deep. The inner workings of my mind are an enigma, and then spilled milk, and he's not crying over it. I think it was a larger statement on him being so far removed from society and people looking at him as this like idiot and numb to the world when in reality is like, I've numbed myself to the parts that maybe aren't so important. I don't cry over spilled milk. I don't sweat the small stuff. Wow. I've intentionally removed myself and things that worry other people, and I've found peace in that. You know what would be a really good idea, like for a podcast for you in the future, is taking things like SpongeBob that people don't necessarily deem as like intellectual simulation, but breaking them down in this sort of way. It's like, no, you don't understand like this is the Shakespeare version. You know I heart symbolism. Yeah, I think that should be the name of your podcast. I heart symbolism? Yeah. Okay. And go through things that are like- I'm scaring me that you're suggesting that I do my own podcast right now? No. Well, I have one too. It could be that type of thing. You don't have to do it forever. Just like a little side project. Yeah. I don't really. With this as your main. Yeah. Yeah. Not leaving. That's high piece. Okay. I believe you. We recorded it. Hold her to it. Okay. Well, I have some stuff that happened today. So as I'm writing this. Already. It's nine. I've been up since 630. Like what time did you wake up? 630. Wow. The sun. The sun came out. The sun's out. I'm like, what am I doing here? Lying and bad. So many things running around my head. I'm stuck. I'm full. It's getting itchy. I wonder what that means. No. I haven't seen you bitch in a long time. But I guess we don't do. And stew. Really? I think I'm allergic to something in California because it doesn't happen. I think it's me. No. Because can I be honest? Yeah. Like I think it's stress. I think you just got stressed about me saying that you should do a solo podcast. And I mean my footage. Yeah. And then you're fun. I mean, you really started it. Oh my gosh. That's scary to think. I really think it has something to do. But it could be circulation. It's not. I mean, I think it's a lot of people who are watching this. I brought my Berks, I'm back on Berk. It is so important to have options that you can retire and bring back out because it's like, when it is Christmas time and you bring the Christmas decorations, I'm like, "Oh, I'm excited about this again." It's, you know, my mom and the. Well, my mom and the, is she puts. She cycles dog toys in and out. So the dog is like. That's very smart. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's what I do with my footwear, my open toes. What was I going to tell you about? Oh, yeah, so itchy. So I'm sitting in the coffee shop this morning and I'm riding this poem. I'm riding away. You wrote the poem in a coffee shop? I finished it. I got a lot started in your bed. Yeah. There was like lines like "Who pooped on my face?" And I was like, "I needed an A for this B." Uh-huh. And like I hadn't gotten there. And then I was like, "Well, I'm wasting away in bed." Like I need to, let me go and a walk. Once I start moving, things start coming back to me. Got it. Shower, walking, running, about to fall asleep. Those are my four most creative states. Got it. Places when I don't have access to writing anything down. And then I'm like, "Try to remember that. Try to remember that. And so I just need to walk in." You need to get a traveler's notebook. I need a, I need a microchip for real, for real like smart house vision. You mean like something like a chip in your wrist you can speak into? Speak into, but I'd like to see it written out. I almost wanted it in my eye. I get that. Cause like I want to be like on a run, but be working. You need glasses, like special glasses. Yeah. Yeah. I would like to be on a run and being like writing. Cause that's when I, when I'm listening to music and stuff. And that's when I'm like, "Oh, this is a funny joke. This is a funny end." And I have nowhere to store that. I can't stop running. Yeah. Mm-mm-mm. Anyway, so I'm at the coffee shop and I'm kind of like dialed. And like, blah, blah, blah. Like, blah, blah. This guy comes and sits right next to me. And it's a nice day out. I'm sitting outside. He starts eating in a way that like, have you ever seen at the zoo when they bring an entire melon for the hippo? And they put it into mouth. And it's like, there's no way that hippo is about to eat that whole melon. Yeah. I've seen videos. I've seen videos. I haven't been lucky enough to see that in person. I haven't seen it in person either, but it's really, I watch the whole thing. When animals chew, that's okay. I'd listen to an hour of that. And people chew gun violence. I'm sorry. I just like, really, truly, I was trying to work my way through this because I was like, it's so nice out. He's allowed to chew. You have to chew your food to swallow it. You know, like, that is like a human right. I wanted to take the metal stool I was on and hit him over the back of the head with it. Explain how he was chewing. I'm not going to do it in the mic. It was like, I could hear it when his mouth was closed. But then every now and then it would, it would release us. He would smack, but it was his lips and it was almost like, I was like, completely unnecessary to like, the process of getting it down his goal. I want to be with you when this is happening one time so I can see like, if it's like, truly like, unacceptable or it's just your sense. No, it's, it's something that I don't like about myself like I don't, I'm not like everyone else is wrong. Right. It's something that I wish that I was tolerant with. Like I just, I genuinely, no, I understand, but I'm still really curious. You know how they call it misophony? Like I have fear of chewing. I don't, I'm not scared of it. I want to fucking kill you. I don't think it's fear that would be misophobia. Ooh. What's phonia? Sounds. Yeah. Oh. What's, what's miso? Bad? Like bad sound. Is he ever able to get to the Latin root of that word? Just learning so much already. Yeah. But keep that one. Well, it's just like why, like why, hate, hatred of sound. Hate your little sound. Okay. That's right. That's exactly what I feel. They nailed that one. I for real was like, this is, it's crazy that the young man next to me holds so much power over my well-being. His mouth is, is the deciding factor, whether I have a good morning or bad morning. His mouth has power over me. And he won. It's, this man's mouth has power over me. And it's my Achilles heel, like how pathetic, how pathetic if I was in Hunger Games. If someone was chewing next to me and I'm peda-baried beneath the earth, I'd be like, I'd die because I'd be like, shut up, you know, like I'd be like, stop. Like you have to chew with your mouth closed. You know, that tick-tock trend that's with the song, like I've got the magic in me. Like it's like people realizing like what you can do. Like you can let go. Like and you have the magic in you. Like you can, you can just release the power that this man's mouth has over you. And POV, you've got the magic in you. Brook, I have tried because I caused probably close to my parents' divorce. Or you could put your headphones in, that's you've got the magic in you. You just have to remember that you have the magic. Is what I'm trying to say. But like in this- You just find a way to get that magic. In the same vein, like this guy has the magic to like shut the- He also has the magic. Shut your mouth. It's like Voldemort Harry, both of you are one. Oh my god. You both have the magic. You need to figure out who's going to be horrible. Okay. But obviously I'm Voldemort there because he's simply going about his day and like trying- Trying to be Voldemort. Trying to sustain himself and I'm like, I'm going to kill him. It's fine to be Voldemort sometimes. I was Voldemort this morning, kind of. Why? Got in a fight with a young man who was delivered. I ordered- This is my friend's birthday in New York and so I ordered her Levain cookies and the guy was like, where do I leave the cookies? Let me pull this up. It was actually like pretty damn frustrating. So in the instructions, I was like, you can just leave them at the front desk because I sent them to our office. Yeah. So you can just leave them at the front desk and then- So he says- It's hard to be- Hi, I'm in the lobby and I said, great, you can leave them at the front desk and my friend will come get them and he said, where am I going to leave him? And I said, at the front desk and he said, what's your address then? And then he gave the address that he has and I said, yes, that's right. You can leave it at the front desk and then I said, there's a big sign that says the address and then he said, that's why I'm here. And I said, are you, and then I gave the address and I said, you can leave it in the lobby. The person at the front desk is waiting for you. So then he sent a picture of the outside of the building. Go in. And he said, I am here. I need you to go in. And I said, go, I said, you can go in and leave it at the front desk. And then he said, I've been here for a while now.
I've been here for a very long time and then I said and then my friend went out and got them and then he said Again, I was there for a very long time and I said well, I don't know why you didn't go to the lobby I Want to power you to go and that was kind of a discussion. Oh, it's it's New York is hard even if I was if I was physically there Being like can you deliver to this is it is very like For whatever reason like harder than any other I and I have sympathy for that like I have trouble getting around in New York But the way that he sent me a picture of of the door and said multiple times I'm in the lobby and like I could see like the door Like go in it. It was hard for me to to put my Shoot my head in his shoes put yeah, you know, especially because I've been there many times and like you can just walk in Yeah, and the front you could in this photo imagery that he said I see the front desk through the glass door So it was hard for me to put myself in a sheet in that situation whereas I could see the lobby I mean, you were very you kept a very level head. I did it like on the way here I was like I was being rude, but I wasn't know when I said I don't know why you just got to the lobby Because I don't know that I don't know that so this morning I was tested So now I'm here got the cookies cookie. She got the cookies and Everything's okay. Everything is okay, and it will be okay, but I was tested And this piece of hair is like really not helping. I like it Like aesthetically it might be fine, but like I can't stress enough what it's doing to my peripheral. Can I tell you what it reminded me of? I worry Don't worry. What is it? Well one time we did like disco themed dinner for cousin Logan's birthday And I for some they gave us all these like Little light up things that you stick it was like the wires that like they light up at the end And I put one in my hair and I was pretending to be an alien that would drink out of the long string And I'd be like go go go go it was like a hit at dinner because you obviously wasn't drinking through the strings Like I'll show you I have it. I have it. I have an image. I have an image. Yeah, I have an image Um, and it's right here because I was actually about to post it because there's so much joy in the photo This new no, this is from a while ago, but look at the strings and I was drinking Look how hard everyone's lacking up. They're dying. They're dying. They're dying. I was laughing really hard That's cute. There I am with the string. That's a wholesome moment my drinking strings Well, I'll tell you why it was it was so funny to me. I think I told the story a while back, but We were in Maui For Logan's birthday. Yeah, and my only job The only thing I was supposed to plan was birthday dinner. Yeah For the love of God. I forgot the plan birthday dinner and it was a Friday night And finally I call her and I'm like Mexican food is perfect for a birthday because you can eat as much or as little you can share a play It's a good ever. Margaritas are fun Um, I call all I find especially when I was like hey, I know it's a stretch. I know it like it's it's already five p.m Do you have any openings for like seven seven thirty and they go ah Let me check and they leave and I'm like come on come on Please, please, please like they're checking maybe they're pulling some strings and I did that thing that you Should do where it's like I'm stupid.

I said, this one, this one, this one. - Yeah. - This card's wet. - Yeah, I'll take it. - I'll take this one. - Okay, we'll hold you accountable. - Yeah, I'm really, I'm interested, but truly, like I was talking to people and everyone I sent it to was like, this just seems more homie. - Can I see it? - Yeah, I do think that you will like it. I'm going to send you the link. - Okay, so you can see the photos that I have been sending people. - Sending the link, can you also send me the other one too? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will do that. - I'm going to see if what choice I would have made. - Right, yeah. You just hold your tongue. - Try. - Okay, so here is the homie one. - Okay. - And I want to flag that there was a family of four living in it. - Okay. - And they obviously had to, it's not room for family for it, but like, they told me. - Okay, this is the one that you went with. - This is the one I'm going with, with my heart. - And do you officially have it yet or no? - No, no, no, no, we toured yesterday I applied today. And then, this is the one that everyone else is saying you should have, you should probably take, 'cause you're an adult. - This place is cute, it's like really cluttered from the family of four. - So it's hard to see past that. - Yeah. - But I don't see anything wrong with it whatsoever. - Me either. - I don't even think it's musty-and-dusty, I think it's just really cluttered. - Okay. - And like, which it won't be. - Totally will be. - Okay, this place pretty damn nice, Connor. - Yeah. - At cheap or two. - I will say it's cheap or two. That one doesn't have a studio space for the podcast, though. - I, why is this place so much cheaper? 'Cause it doesn't have the outside space. - The other one has an office space that I could do the podcast. - Okay, I don't think you made a bad decision. - Well, hang on, all I do in New York is look for places to sit outside. Imagine having a place to sit outside. - Yeah, I don't think you made a bad decision at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with the place you picked. The other one's just more updated. - I will say my assistant went to both. - Yeah. - She went to that one first and she sent a page. She's like, I totally see you being here like without a nine to five. This is a great place to hang out all day. - Yeah. - Like work and do whatever and film the podcast. And then she went to the other one. She goes, okay, so this is very different. Ha, ha. She goes, I could see you getting stir crazy and kind of depressed in here. It's dark. - Okay, well then you have your answer. - Yeah, I was trying to convince other people and they were like, yeah, I mean, it's very nice. - The current are the one you didn't go with. - The one I, the one I'm, my heart's not in that one. - No, you need to go with the one that your heart is in. - Yeah. - I don't think that's a wrong choice though. - Okay, we'll see. We will see. - We will always do. - Yeah, and we always do. - Things are constantly unfolding around us. - We always do. - What I love about leases is that they're one year. Hair grows back, you know? - Don't I know it? - That's a good way to look at you. - Don't I know it? - General. - I think I would make the same choices you. - Okay. - If I were you. - There's a lot of work happening right now too, which results in a lot of travel happening, which results in just like. - You're never home. - You're never gonna be. It's like a hotel room. - You're never home. - Yeah, but I honestly think that that'll be nice and there's ways to do it. And then we can stop talking about my apartments that no one else can see because this is an audio podcast. - Sure. - But I'm excited. - I'm excited for you. - Yeah. It should be fun. I have to tell you something. - I had an experience that you had with La Jolla, this one over the end. - Are we moving to La Jolla, yeah? - No, no, I had, no. - It was not with La Jolla? - It was not with La Jolla, it was with Pittsburgh. - No, Connor now. - Yeah. I, Hart, Pitz, Symbolism and Pittsburgh. - Where on Pittsburgh? - This general city. With the way I, the way I had, I wanna apologize to the city. I wanna make it like an actual entity. - I wanna personify the city of Pittsburgh. I'm sorry, Pittsburgh. - It is like you do picture Pittsburgh as like steel. It's not, it's like, it's nice and not, it's nice. But it's not like La Jolla. - No, it was just, I had this attachment to this little town. It was like, it was very Riverdale Gilmore Girls vibe. - Really? - Yeah, like a little city with a big secret. That's kind of what it felt like. - Okay. I'm curious about where you were 'cause you know my brother went to Pitt. - Oh my God, yeah. - Yeah. - Well, it was a graduation this week. It was also because we stayed downtown and there was a marathon. The NFL draft was there. And then they had the graduation. So it was like, I think there was a lot of action happening. But we watched it, it was very cute. - I remember when I went, I only went like twice, but each time I was pleasantly surprised. But again, like it's No La Jolla. And I have seals in Pittsburgh. - There's a lot of rivers. There's probably some seals. And I don't know. I guess the vibe is like don't swim in the river type. - I would assume. - Why though? - Oh, I just would, like nothing good can be going in that river. - Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - At least I know in Philly, like it's like the most amount of bodies. - Philly has the most amount of bodies in the river? - I think it's in the Scookel River. Is he can we look up which rivers have the most dead bodies? Oh. - Hi. - That makes sense that Pittsburgh's has industrial pollution. - But I also feel like I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like my mom telling me that most of the dead bodies are by me. Oh, okay, let's talk about the one in India. Like that's specifically. - Oh, yeah. - The current, the killer Kern River in California. - Killer Kern. - And Mississippi River. So not the Scookel at all. - I think these probably have the most bodies. Like the Mississippi is just like a huge river. You know, so I think that like in terms of distance. - Just in terms of like how big they are. - Everyone can dump their bodies in Mississippi. River. - Right. - The Houston Bayou's, yeah, I've heard that. - I wanna go to a bayou. - Ooh, it is pretty great. - What's the difference between a bayou and a swamp? - Down on the bayou, I think it's a word for word. It's a word for a word. - Do you think? - Yeah. - It's difficult to say which river has the most dead bodies. Scookel said. Bayou's are slow moving, shallow, meandering waterways. I've been found in the southeastern US where a swamp's are forested wetlands, characterized by stagnant or slow moving shallow water, filled with trees like cypress. A key distinction is that bayou's are generally moving sluggish creeks while swamps are usually flooded areas or permanent waters hatchrated for us. Gotcha. - Thank God. - Gotcha. - Wow, that's awesome. But yeah, so Pittsburgh, I fuck with you. - Okay. - I really, really liked it. I really enjoyed it. I had a good time. It was kind of, everyone was very nice. Geographically very confusing because it's very hilly and there's rivers it looks like North Carolina and then I learned next to us Virginia. - And Ohio, right? - Ohio is just a 45 minute drive away. - Yeah. - And it was funny because we did, and the Caroline is like last week, we did two big theaters. We did like what we did in like San Diego, these huge theaters. - Yeah. - And then in Pittsburgh, we did a tip of like a comedy club. - More intimate. - Yeah, but they're fun. We did four shows. It was just like, it was fun because it's just like a kind of routier and it was very routier. Pittsburgh came to party. Yeah, it was fun. A little difficult to lock in. - I was about to say, when we did our live shows, I had like a pretty hard time with anyone heckling. Like I would, like it's so distracted and engaged. I'd be like, what? - Yeah, what's funny is like you have to be like, okay, like no one else is involved in this conversation. I'm like trying to, I'm like, well, I don't want to ignore this person that's actively volume above everyone else talking to me about what you have to. - It's hard. It was really hard. - And then Netflix is a joke on Wednesday. - Yeah. I'll be there. - It's so unbelievable. - That your new Netflix is, I agree. - I'm freaked out. - Walk me through it. How big is it? - These 1200. - That's a lot. - Like what, like size stadium like that? - I've never been to, it's the Avalon Theater. - The Avalon Theater. - And when this comes out, it will, it will be other. - It will be done. Isn't that nice when that happens? - This is one of those things. Yeah, it's like, it's, like, you know how we talked about Phoebe for a long time. I'm like, may, may, that's like crazy. And then it's like, that's in three weeks, yeah. - Ooh. - Yeah. - Ah. - This is one of those things where it's like, I don't even have to think about that. And then it's on Wednesday now.
Yeah, and everybody this is one of those where it's like A lot of times we have people come and it's like, okay, there's this one person like every single person that moves any amount of needles and My career currently is going to be seated at the show good. Well, we'll see I've been working on like a lot of new material Okay, and I think I have it all kind of dialed in okay, and I think it transitions really well Okay, but at the end of the day, this is not a special. This is a comedy show. So will there be cocktails? I've never been I don't know, but we're gonna do something after. Oh, really? Yeah, we should okay if you want to Xavier and Maggie are gonna be there opening and then we're gonna go celebrate after but yeah, it'll be good And then this is the last thing I'm doing before we film the special Yeah, and June so should be really fun. This is gonna be like once I'm done with this I'm gonna be like Like like like like someone that goes like retires to Florida just like Like Jimmy Buffett. What was Jimmy Buffett's whole deal bless you. Sorry. How come you just got to like fuck off down to Florida because he I think that was just his vibe. Okay Margaritaville is anyone like claiming that space right now or could I Jimmy Buffett? I Think you could well, you know, I went to the Jimmy Buffett tribute concert. I hear it was so awesome. It was Like one of the best memories and like I would I wouldn't say in like Jimmy Buffett like he's amazing But like I didn't really like couldn't name like five songs before I went to that and now He's like a brother to me. It really really is just like Quailude vibes Oh, total. I've never done lured but no, they're not around. Really? Quailudes are extinct. No. Yes. They just stopped making Quailudes. Yes. No, they didn't yes people do Quailudes I don't know if they do. Can we look up Quailudes. Sorry. Yeah Completely stopped making them by classifying Methacuelone as a scheduled one drug, meaning as no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse. Are there still any like around? In 1984 that's like complete perfect. Yeah, that was a long time ago. Wasn't oh Jimmy Buffett was like 90s Oh, I actually don't know but I'm just saying like they're they're probably not still around if they stopped making them in 1984 Legitimate Quailudes are not manufactured illegally prescribing the United States having been banned in the mid 1980s due to high addiction Okay, counterfeit ones might exist. You know Oh, they do call them ludes. So yeah, I know I had a family member who did a lot of them really? Fun. I mean not not fun. Just like fun that you know that. Yeah But like obviously like doing drugs is bad and I don't do any sort of hard drug But I think I'd be curious about these cuz don't they just make you kind of like drunk Feel like I think it's like the I think probably Xanax vibes like I never had the Xanax. I'm like Watch when I look at what Quailudes make you feel I think they make you really horny. No, yes They definitely make you you're dick not work and recreational usage subjects commonly reported a Constellation of effects that compromises intense relaxation euphoria and a feeling of well-being They also report impaired coordination slurred speech and numbness of portions of their body Okay, so inside you're feeling Relaxed euphoric and and well that makes sense. You're going That makes a lot of sense when I'm a multiple fall street. That's exactly what it was. I do think they make you horny Can you look up if they make you horny? Do Quailudes make you feel horny Yes, wow increased libido, but like there's no way the love drug and thigh opener They were also called that. Well, I don't think that you'd be able to get like a boner with like You know like if you're feeling it's you know what to do Can Quailudes give you a boner Good question Well Quailudes were famously associated with increased libido They often had the opposite effects on physical performance frequently causing erectile dysfunction. Well the justice I had thought the people that I've heard from that they make you horny were all women the thigh opener the thigh opener Exactly me me with my wide open Okay, shouldn't have hit my Weener with my fist on the podcast, but it's too late Yeah, let's go ahead and leave that in for the sake of transparency if for transparency say I need to do mostly audio listeners anyway Anyways, if you want to watch me get physical go ahead and click you tube Speaking of getting physical guess what I'm doing this weekend Is it something physical?

I would like to do that Okay, let's start to think about doing that. I can repost our old video one more. No, not that one I wonder if the way I've been repost recycling old content and it does numbers every single time It's like hey, well, can you do this? It's an OG piece again and a timeless piece Let me tell you about the movies that I saw. Yeah I went to the premiere of remarkably bright creatures. Mm-hmm No spoilers so I want to read the book even though everyone tells me it's like a Bullshit throwaway book Not at all. Okay, you guys this is coming. Okay, everyone laughing at me. Not at all. I haven't read it I have a friend who would say that everyone that no Okay, everyone that who would say that I heard someone say because who would say that every because it because of the Canva cover They're like oh, this is one of the kind of a cover. Okay, look up the It's cute a lot it's Marcellus the octopus. Hello. Okay, don't get mad at me. This is I'm just a little frustrated It's a free book and Marcellus the octopus I fell for him so much that there's a Giant Pacific octopus storyline and Phoebe because of my love for Marcellus the book is incredible I don't think you'll like it. It's like cozy heartwarming Who do you think I like why would I not like because you like reading about like tortured people And like boring you like boring stuff. I think this is a little bit too good like get like sweet. Oh, you know I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna use your stuff. Tell me about the movie. It's precious Oh, I like pressure stuff fine then try it. Okay. I might try it Jesus, I don't like the way you spoke about it. I
I don't know about it, and I spoke-- - I don't, but I don't want you to, like, it's like, it's too good. - Like, I don't think you're gonna like it, and then I'm gonna get upset. 'Cause I don't think it's for you. - I'm reading this fucking, fucking book. - I don't think you're gonna like it. - I'm gonna read the book. - Read the book. See if I care, but-- - Oh my god, the way I'm reading the book today. - No, you won't. - Start to finish with that. - Do what you want. - No, I'm gonna read the book. - It's incredible, Connor. - And Sally Field is in the movie. - Sally Field is in the movie. An American sweetheart, national treasure. It was not a case of premiere blindness. I cried the entire time. I thought it was so good, so well done. My one qualm that I had with the book, they took care of in the movie. - Is that Lewis? - That's so that's Lewis Pullman. - Yeah. - He was a fabulous, completely fabulous. Did you know he stayed in Kaya Gerber? - Yeah. - That. - 'Cause they were all and cobbled together with Jake. Shane. - Uh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah, I didn't know that at all. - He has my lips. - He has, I can see that. - Okay, none. - Can see that. - I'm gonna hit up Lewis Pullman and see if he wants to go get a lip flip with me. - Ooh, that could be hot. You can vlog it. Hello, new content. - Hi, Lewis. Me and Lewis getting new lips. - I'm sorry for the way I reacted earlier. - It's okay. I truly liked that. - That was spoken. I also was like, fuck you. It's okay. I just, I promise you, two people separately have told me, this is like, this is like the, you are a badass book. Like, take the cover off. Don't let anyone know that you're reading this in public. - That is like the exact opposite of what it is. It's like an international bestseller, like, beloved by everyone. - I think that that was the thing. It's like everyone's reading this book, like. - 'Cause it's that good. - Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I heard, but that's like, that was what I received. - I'm curious about who told you. - I do, I do, it is like very like, cozy. - Okay, I'm gonna read it. So I'll be, I'll come back to you. - Okay. It is like, some chapters are from the POV of an octopus, is what I'm trying to say. - I can, like, you say that to me, like, that's like a foreign concept. I can wrap my head around POV from the octopus. - Can you? - Yes. - I know you say that. - I wish I had my Kindle, so I could pull up a chapter. - No need, 'cause I'm gonna be reading it. I ordered a book to the hotel. - Yeah, how's your reading going? - It's good, I'm starting a new book 'cause it was recommended by several people. Giovanni's room. Have you heard of it? - Honor, like, why are you doing this? - Do you know about Giovanni's room? - Yeah. - I don't know anything. My thing after I posted, I finished the book. 16 people were like, read this book. - Yeah, I mean, I could see it being similar. It's definitely very heavy. I like the cover. - Me too. - I like the cover. - Let's see what this one's about. - No, no, don't tell me. - Okay, you don't wanna know. - No, I don't like to know what it is. - Can I look? - Sure. But tell me about your second movie. We're closing out, probably. - So remarkably, our futures was 10 out of 10 incredible, so faithful to the book. Amazing. My one qualm with the book is that I thought they spent too much time on cameras, like solo journey, which I didn't really care about. But they just tied him and Tova together. So beautifully, so they were doing stuff together. And maybe the whole time it was amazing. Okay, so D wears P2. - Oh, yeah. - And you know, not like a big D wears P1 type of girl? - Sure. - Like I don't not like it, but like it's just not like one of my favorites. I thought this was cute. - Cool. - That's really it. It was like nothing like, "Well, my God." But I definitely was entertained. And I love Meryl Streep so much, it's insane. - I do kinda feel like this was made for the fan, like as like a fan. Not, and not like-- - It was kind of like fan fiction, but-- - That's true, yeah, that's kind of what it felt. - And not like a true sequel. - Well, correct me if I'm wrong, 'cause that's off in the case. I think Devil Wars Prada, the original, was based off of a book. - Yeah. - And then like this one was like screenwriter, it's just using inspiration from the characters. - Yeah. - But I don't know if that's right. That's just what I think. So anyway, those are the two movies that I saw. - Good job. - Thank you. I hope that you read remarkably by creatures. - I'm gonna-- - Yeah, it was based off of the novel. So I guess, is there a second novel? - That would be a bummer if you were the writer of the first one and then the-- Like I said, just by the right. - Well, yes. There's a second book in the Devil Wars Prada, the French Devil Wars Returns. Follows Andy Saxony years later, she launches her own bridal magazine with Emily and is forced back into orbit. So that's not what the second movie's about. Andy is a successful editor of a bridal magazine getting married. That's not what this is about. So that's so interesting. They decided to go in a completely different direction. And they added the most random ass romance, like three quarters of the way through. That was so unnecessary. Like she was this-- Like, and you know, I'm never like romance so that necessary won't romance in everything. The romance in this was not necessary. Thank you. - Interesting. - Yeah. - Speaking of romance. - Why? - I had this idea the other day. 'Cause, well, what are we talking about? Oh, Kindle Jenner's Dating Jacobalorty now? - Of course. - So Kindle Jenner's Dating Jacobalorty, Kylie is Dating Timothy Shalamay. We're bordering on monopoly. You're like, I truly think, I'm serious. Like, in terms of, these are two young men in a Hollywood that are signed on to like, exclusive 10 project deals and they're all blockbuster films. And then you have this family that's, I think, signed some sort of 10 conglomerate corporation deals. We are bordering on a monopoly that might need to be-- - It is. - Looked into breaking up. Like, they're-- - Yeah. - I don't know how much money, obviously in AT&T makes a ton of money, but like-- - What does AT&T have to do with it? - Like in AT&T, they broke up into subsidiaries a long time ago because it was monopoly. And like that doesn't work. And like a live nation I think is, they're looking into it as like a monopoly. And like, I don't know how much money that the Kardashians have, but it's probably close to live nation. - To me, it's more so giving like, you have to marry within your means, like in the royal families. It's like, like keeping the royal families together. Does that make sense? - Yeah, it makes sense. - Like Holly would sing within Holly would. - Yeah, but the royal families really just like, hang out at their house and then go to the horse show, you know? Like, and then they are like, here, I'm here at this thing. They're not like, okay, Kim is producing all these movies. These actors are here, like now these actors will be in these movies and then we're going to start businesses to like, we're going to start all these businesses that like are pushed out at the people that watch the movies at Timothy Chalamet's and like skincare and like clothing and energy drinks and there's quenches and like, I'm like, oh my God. Like this is, they're going to open a Walmart. You know what I mean? - I'm thinking more in terms of like the romance. To see books I read when there are different realms. And like Kris Jenner is the queen of her realm, which is like the skincare beauty, like model. Like that's her realm and then there's another realm across the ocean that's like Hollywood, like Oscar nominated movie stars and she's trying to merge the realms to strengthen her, her own realm with an alliance. - Yeah, and like this is real life too and that is physically happening. - But that's what I'm saying. Like it is giving the merging of the realms. - Like I'm gonna tell the FTC. - Okay. - But they could probably buy the FTC. - Right. - When there's probably so many loopholes, they obviously have like the pride of the best lawyers in the world and it's just like, I'm concerned. I want us to see with clear vision what's happening before eyes. It's like truly, you're right, like the royal family. And it's like, let's build this empire. - It's an empire. - It's an empire. - It's a freaking empire, yeah. - Ooh, that's great. Oh, hey, speaking of the empire. - What? - May the fourth be with you. - Hi, may the fourth be with you. - And with you and yours. - Have you seen Star Wars? - How we already talked about this? - That's right. - Of course, I saw every single Star Wars. - Sorry. - I was a Star Wars freak. - I want to. - That was the only thing. That was the number one thing that besides pirates of the Caribbean, which I would, I see more of myself in the pirates, Trillage, or whatever series, then Star Wars, just 'cause I ended up being scared of space at some point. But the Star Wars, I was seeing in theaters every year 'cause my friend Will would have his birthday. We'd go see the Star Wars movie and then we'd sleep over to the house. - Cute. - Yeah, it was really fun. I would look forward to that every year. - Something I need to tell you. - Yeah. - I'm reading three books at the same time, which I've never done. I'm reading a memoir, but the last in my series, and a novel, which it's really been fun. But the memoir, I'm reading Lena Dunham's memoir. - I am too. - You are? - It just got delivered to my house and I haven't started yet, but I'm reading it. - I've been listening to it on audio, 'cause she narrates and so that's fine. - I'm not reading it. - Listening to audiobooks is consuming a book, whether you want to call it reading or not. - Well, it's not reading. - I don't want to get into this argument. - 'Cause you're listening to it. That's like someone read our podcast. - It's like, but like they verb, you're taking the verb read too literally. Like I'm consuming a book. - Okay. - Yeah. But I'm also, Coach, I'm reading it on my Kindle as well. I'm supplementing. - Okay. - I'm doing an immersive read. - Like if I came into the podcast and I was like, I read a book and I listened to the audiobook, like I would feel like I would lose sleep. I'd leave here with guilt paying them a chest. - That's just what people say now. Like it's just this semantics thing. - Okay. - Like you're consuming the book. But I'm doing a immersive, which is reading and listening the same time. - Yeah, that's what I would want to do.
