Men Can Have Bangs

The conversation begins with a personal reflection on the host’s bangs, exploring how individuals often lack a true understanding of their own appearance and are judged harshly by others. The host shares his discomfort with the idea of men wearing bangs, questioning societal norms and whether such styles are truly acceptable. This leads to a broader discussion about personal agency, self-expression, and the ways people react to unfamiliar or disruptive changes—like space travel or global internet outages. The host uses humor and anecdotal storytelling to illustrate how these scenarios trigger fear, but also reveal deeper truths about human vulnerability and connection. A key moment involves the host’s dream about his deceased dog, which ties into memories, emotional processing, and the subconscious. The narrative then shifts to a personal journey of journaling and physical manifestation, where the host embraces tangible tools like leather-bound notebooks to replace digital note-taking. This is linked to a broader desire to create a self-sustaining, intentional lifestyle—such as founding a town with a bookstore, cafe, and local grocer. The host also touches on current cultural topics, including the success of a new film, the growing presence of celebrities like Zendaya, and the potential consequences of cutting undersea internet cables. Ultimately, the conversation blends personal experience, social observation, and self-reflection, emphasizing the importance of authenticity, emotional honesty, and proactive self-care in a world that often feels disconnected. The host concludes by noting how small acts—like wearing a headband or writing in a journal—can become meaningful steps toward self-understanding and community.

are we recording the episode no no no no i i have something that i thought about this morning i was getting up i was cleaning the oatmeal off my my pants because i'd spilled a lot in my lap isn't it funny when you stand up your lap disappears your bangs are out today oh what do they look like i refuse to record with my entire team my entire team in front of me saying with their chest they look fine no i think i you know i and then to see in clips posted to the entire internet that they did not in fact look fine you know i you know i think you should brush your bangs back okay yeah yeah yeah that's perfect i had my hair down yeah in the car today yeah yeah yeah my jetta hair off you let me just double check because that looks great no you just put them back down no i just put i put a little wispies down you don't like the wispies no it's not there's a there's a thicker this part yeah put that back no like you did before yeah i just feel like it gives it too much volume when i zoosh it like that no you need your hair back off of your face so we can see your beautiful face oh my god okay thank you no no it's good it's just like it's weird that i'll never be able to explore a world with bangs because like you've tried unanimously like no one thinks they look good it's just it's just weird that like i was not hey listen man not everyone is but i know but it's just weird that like i see my face every single day like i sit in the mirror i know my face i know the way it's shaved and i go yeah i like this like this is fun and like 100 not one person on the planet you know why likes it because no one has an accurate understanding of how they look just like you have a different understanding of the way you look that makes you think like yeah i'm gonna do these bangs and then everyone else can let you know like no champ it's just crazy the the conviction with which people are like what are you doing you know it's not even like a hesitation it's like how dare you well even just in general like men don't wear their hair like that man some men have bangs not like that not like that what do you mean you're you were doing like a thick zoe de chanel bang it was like a nice classy no um ian somerhalder bang no he has like justin bieber like hair you have curlier hair it's pretty straight today no watch you know this is giving ian somerhalder i don't it's not a match it's not yeah that's different how that's going i'm sorry that's different i don't see how it's different it just is that's exactly and you know what can i be honest on the one hand like yeah he can pull it off on the other hand he should push his hair back really yes i don't think i've seen a man with bangs where i'm like yeah keep them keep your hair like that we've gone over this you've seen several men with bangs no that's a different thing i think it was a soul patch we were looking into it was a soul patch yeah god i can't do either yeah no he should timothy chalamet should push his hair back in this photo yeah um i think leonardo caprio can i be it's a little bit different when it's a little bit different why because he has straight hair oh okay connor story can do bangs because he's like he's a different vibe okay we can keep exploring no i just think that like there needs to be a solution that like everyone is on board with and it needs to include some bang for me you sometimes have i when you have wisps wisps that's fine you can't do a full thick like yeah you're doing like micro bangs like micro bob yeah you can't be doing that i can't do that not a lot of people can do that so you like the wet look i could do the wet look no one said anything about a wet look what do you mean wet look i don't know maybe i get out of the water i'm sure everyone's hair is different wet yeah you can totally do a wet look this is my hair wet wet but is he calling in the troops do you know what i'm talking about this is my hair a little wet this is my hair wet wet does jack martin have bangs jack martin has had bangs but he has that straight silken hair you know he's also good and he pushes it back he could do anything he wants obviously with his see but he has like he does wisps he's not doing full blunt bob can you click on that second picture of him and the uh yeah that's scary it's this is gonna be like if i saw this photo on shrooms i would cry they are identical i mean it would freak me out like so i would it would scare me that's the outfit on the right is probably one of the biggest atrocities that has ever happened to mankind i wonder listen i love the guy me too i wonder what he thinks about it looking back he legitimately looks like hey we saw you from across the bar we left your vibe it's so and again like this is an example of someone trying something yes you can always do i know i know i know i know and but what i'm excited about is that i every time i've tried bang someone has stepped in because i have good relationships good healthy relationships he has someone out to get him and this maybe it looked different in person i i can't imagine it i can't imagine anyway what were you saying before i interrupted you oh what an amazing callback and what an amazing thing that i'm remembering what i was gonna say i was just cleaning something off my lap earlier and i'm sitting up i'm going like this and i'm like where's my lap when you stand up lap no longer exists when you're standing are you sure this for those of you who aren't who aren't on the studio the way that the kelly clarkson just breathed out a long exhausted sigh when connor stood up so long like miserable okay yeah i know can we look up the definition of lap lap lap can only exist while sitting no lap generally does not exist when standing a lap is defined as the horizontal service form between the knees and the waist of a person awesome yeah sit on my yeah sit on my lap right you couldn't sit you can't sit on my front yeah on my front nice nice nice nice nice when you're standing it is just your frontal yeah your full frontal so that's really just the only thing that i thought about this morning and it's been a little bit crazy of a morning because i like hop on twitter there was a world when i used to hop on twitter and like i'm like oh there's some fun stuff for brooke and i to talk about today um will be known as potentially that are like the podcast that comes out with the announcement of world war three which is kind of fun because we just talked about are you starting your manga early i'm gonna get it out of the way yeah but that's just like what everyone's kind of talking about right now but everyone talks about that all the time i know it's a big day for the people and i think that you've been engaging with that type of content or it's like i'd be shocked if your twitter page was anything but there's fun stuff like i haven't opened twitter in like months let me see what mine is yeah yeah for example like i'm telling you like you're skewed yeah i do get i do get real no offense but this ilia body count discourse is outing y'all as virgins because what do you mean you think his body count is 30 that's my first tweet ilia i'm in the ilia body count space discourse space okay mine is carpenter music video sydney sweeney interesting i can't decide if it's sydney sweeney boob job conspiracy who is this oh this is paul okay i see yeah i need to stop doing that i guess so i think maybe twitter first thing in the morning is like before i have i guess it is like reading the newspaper though i can't decide if it's good for me or like really effing me up i think effing yeah yeah interesting yeah anyway i wanted to show you this i've totally and i'm sorry that this is a visual component but i have a total new ecosystem that i think like you would want to it's looking so fat well because remember i told you like you can you get these like leather things and you stick multiple notebooks in them yeah so this is the my leather brook portfolio thing that i made the way look wait first of all you need to close here it is closed you have okay check this out 100 manifested in real life the chocolate episode of spongebob where they're selling the bag within the bag no yes it's not the same thing it's a it's a journal within a holder within a holder well it's just a way to keep all of your journals connected because look here's my one journal you open it just kidding there's three in here kind of like when they unzipped the big bag and there was a bunch of little bags of chocolate the hobanichi here's this little pouch that i keep random shit in okay this is my diary beauty okay and now here's my dream journal so i can keep them all in one spot because weren't you saying you need to because you grabbed the wrong journal the other day yes you would not grab the wrong journal if you just had both of them on hand i know you know that i'm gonna do this too get one i'm gonna do this yeah are you yeah okay because i'm starting to hate my phone i am literally this has changed my life yeah like the way i'm writing in my journal so much because i like the way it looks and the way that i'm i said i need to get another little journal to add something because i need more things so right now i have a dream journal and now i'm saving random ass shit like your health cards yeah i have only one dream in here that i can't share it's not really politically correct is your subconscious being it cancelable yeah i think i would get in trouble if i read this but it's not my fault it's not it's the inner mechanisms of your i don't know if i don't know if this is oh i can read it in the bonus like i'm not sure if this is it's not my fault yeah i mean i had a dream last night which i know no one no one could give one less of a shit about but i was just like in my hotel room and when i i was like kind of lucid because it's like christmas eve every time we record the podcast i'm so excited to get here that like i don't want to miss it you know so i'm like up kind of and i'm like thinking about what we could talk about and then i'm like i don't want to miss it i'm like i don't want to miss it i kind of go to sleep and i come to i'm lucid and i'm in my hotel room but it was my like our game room in my parents house and i look to my left and my dog who's now passed away is there in my dream and so i go speak to him because he's laying in kind of a weird weird way did your dog ever die yeah the yeah sake yeah sake died did you tell us i don't know i i think you just let it go yeah he passed on you never said a word oh yeah sorry was that like a year ago at this point not quite did him and max ever overlap no i must remember him dying he must have said something i don't think so because i had gone home and i knew that it was probably the last i think yeah of of the mohicans that's a movie i don't know why that just came to mind and one of our last comings and goings and i filmed on snapchat of all places like that sucks my last memory with my like family dog that i've had for my whole life is on snapchat and it keeps popping up like seven years ago today you had some awesome cuddles and it's like the last time with my family dog he did not die seven years ago it will pop i mean like when i'm 58 years old and i get my seven years ago today and it's my family dog and i'm on snapchat look at my memories um yeah so he's now passed but in the dream very much alive to my chagrin i walk up to him and i say something to him i don't really recall what i say he responds in japanese and it's a man's deep japanese voice and i look closer sorry i died like full blown but it was in japanese so i didn't know and then i look closer his oh my god i know why it happened it's his butt and his butt is a japanese face fair-skinned speaking to me and then i shake him and his head turns and now the japanese man has gone off of his butt it's like professor quarrel and voldemort completely but you know why that happened why because over the weekend i was talking to someone about one of cartoons that i used to watch and of course we're going through all of the horrors invader zim yeah um curse a cowardly dog yeah then i hit one that like really snuck through the radar cat dog cat dog that's why 100 that's why i had the dream about sake's sake's butt being an asian man's face japanese man's face i know that well this is kind of my dream journal because i say everything here but holy moly can i make you your journal yeah i would love that i will i will venmo i would love to do that for you i would love to do that that would be amazing and it would be fun to have two i'm gonna the next episode oh no i can't do the next episode because that's like tomorrow oh my god here's maybe if i can get my shit together i'll give it to you at the live show tomorrow you how would you do that before tomorrow i would have to be really motivated we can see we can check back in because now they have this type of stuff at like barnes and noble do they yeah wow not not at my barns they don't have like a good leather situation but i can try and find something oh how fabulous that's so exciting i think that'll be fabulous yeah that would be nice to actually get my my my pen to paper should i tell you what i'm gonna do or do you just want to be i kind of want to be surprised unless you really want to tell me what you're gonna i'm gonna include three little notebooks in it okay oh my god no i'm gonna i'm gonna literally blow your shit up i can't wait oh i can't wait thank you yeah you're welcome i'm really excited i'm really excited because this is now like i don't know if you saw it click for me today this just this made you click yeah because yesterday i was writing a lot yesterday and i was like there is absolutely no value to my notes app on my phone like i don't feel any drawn towards it in any way it doesn't inspire me it makes me i have to unlock my phone it doesn't it doesn't feel good you know oh i'm thinking like my brain is firing rapid speed figuring out what your sections are gonna be oh how exciting wow i love that so hot um i do too why do i love that aligned we're aligned okay well i have something else give it to me well this is also this was also low-key kind of included in my um dread section but it's technically not dread like i think a lot of people are very excited that we just went to the moon again and it's the farthest away we've ever been can you think about this number for a second without vomiting 255 000 miles from earth i haven't i genuinely cannot conceptualize numbers to me like i don't see the difference in my head between 255 000 and 255 million one's bigger no obviously one's bigger but like it doesn't it doesn't i can't see that you know how i think of space like like a bay in the ocean like all of like the moon is low-key like our little boat you should watch project hail mary did you watch it no because i need to read the book first but like i think my understanding of it is that it's like a really wholesome story and it might reclaim the way you feel about space i used to not even mind space but now i'm just like shaking crying throwing up thinking about it being out there and it's like crazy that we just all go day to day being like yeah of course what did that did we like of like they bred that out of us we're just like not scared we're not thinking about it that's crazy that we're all just like time to clock in it yeah jp morgan you know and it's like not to be like the dude that's like we're all floating on a big giant rock and we're so small and nothing really matters space really doesn't bother me i have two quick things yeah re space one the mariana trench bothers me i've been to mariana mariana's you haven't been down no down down down you haven't been to the bottom no i haven't been to the bottom of mariana's trench i've been on top of her that's fine yeah yeah in guam in guam yeah off of guam yeah off of guam yeah yeah off of guam yeah yeah off of guam no yeah see yeah uh it was lovely and i do remember that's probably my first memory which we talk about memories all the time that's probably my first memories i remember the glass bottom boat yeah wow i want to go on a boat the gbb i would be throwing up i mean every five seconds that's all i remember there's a couple fish and stuff one thing i was going to say about them going to around the around the moon type shit is the toilet broke oh i guess i never thought about going to the bathroom in space they all had to wear they all do wear diapers yeah which is such a bummer like we need to provide better for our astronauts if if we can't get the the so do they just dispose of it in in orbit it's this is the part that like makes me like the idea of them throwing their their dirty diapies just like out into the the void is just very crazy to me are they it was a clever solution the most fecal use maybe that is more reported a faint burning smell coming from the hygiene bay heating insulation p receptacle okay but are they putting everything into the orbit we're just skimming through this vent line used to dump pee in the space nice okay i just like you imagine imagine you're on a road trip okay you're going so you're going to Coachella you're going out to Palm Springs you're going out to the desert really gotta go really gotta go there's nowhere to stop now I want you to take that and I want you to quadruple by 255,000 miles and then I want you to think about you if you have a diaper on then you could just go you have no problem with that obviously it's not ideal I wonder if I could because I remember when I was little and I wanted attention and I was like I'm gonna pee in my pants for attention right now and I couldn't like it's just like it doesn't my body wouldn't let me so I wonder if it would let me I guess if it was an emergency because I've gone in my pants accidentally recently not recently at all but like more recently than I prefer only my 20s yeah um I don't think I could pee in my pants that's what I'm trying to say yeah just like in front of your co-workers pooping your diaper I think it like it was coming out it's coming out of course but I don't think I could just be like I'm pooping now and I think it would only happen if it was like an emergency slipping out hi this is international space station we are all pooping now anyway if you're having to announce it like oh that's funny that's funny I feel like you like it's more awkward if you don't is there smell in space there is I don't think gravity does anything to that to smell no because smell is like I think like floating particles do you know that if you smell like you smell like you smell like you smell like you smell like you smell like you smell like hot metal seared steak and welding and gunpowder what is going on in space jinkies oh my god like imagine a space candle and under it it's like notes of hot metal seared steak welding fumes and spent gunpowder this is the texas roadhouse oh okay and then to add on top of that yeah dirty diaper yeah dirty adult diaper 250 000 miles away from the nearest bathroom diaper it's not awesome oh my god things would start to really fade of importance like we are up in space we're doing whatever they're doing to the moon I don't really know what they're up to up there imagine just having to pee so badly I would be like I don't whatever like take a picture take the picture outer space scented candle we should get one for this dude astronauts describe the smell as a mix of gum powder oh yeah I already know that raspberries and rum oh that sounds nice gunpowder seared steak raspberries and rum there's no way that sounds good to me gunpowder and steak yeah it's the same way like I like the smell of gas but would you like it mixed with like raspberries and gunpowder I truly think that sounds like an awesome yellowstone themed candle there's the best smell to me is when you're driving into ocean city new jersey and you're passing egg harbor and it just smells like egg beach eggs that's my like sulfur yeah so farts yeah but it's like beach farts so it's fine because it's like you the source is like it's coming from the beach fart beach fart beach yeah that makes you fart beach like that I love that that's so gross you just said you like gasoline so it's not that different I'm pooping now I want to talk about San Diego okay can we touch on San Diego in one second there was the that space thing and then there was who cares yes talk about San Diego well we went we had a live show in San Diego we had our first live show it was fabulous thank you all for coming to it that was so fun that theater was amazing what a great first show great show thank you for coming if you came to our og first show thank you for coming like very sweet very grateful for you like this felt like a real real first show it was great but what I want to talk about is that was kind of really my first time in San Diego okay I went to the zoo once before and then I also went when we evacuated for the fires but like we didn't really leave the house yeah but this was like I was in San Diego and I went to La Jolla yeah the day after the show this is my first time shit I meant to wear my La Jolla hat and t-shirt today dang well luckily we're recording three times this week I'll do tomorrow yeah I'll do tomorrow but oh I'll wear it to the live show tomorrow the people of Irvine might not love that no I know that's true anyway I this is my first time hyper fixating on a town love that well you had projected that a little bit because you were so excited for your beachfront town I was in Carmel which is up north but guess what what well first of all what struck me about La Jolla was the wildlife the seals yeah and the water the water is crystal clear clear blue like you're in a swimming pool and in Europe the seals are just swimming about living their best life a squirrel gave me a high five I felt like Jane Goodall like so in touch with creatures yeah I just felt like we are all one and imagine I'm walking away from the seals I see someone holding a bag bookstore and stationery shop I go to the bookstore and stationery shop Warwick's heaven on earth the only problem is that prevents me from being able to set up my bookstore competition in La Jolla because I don't want any bad blood I don't you never want to be the store that open that is the competition the Spite store you don't want to be the Spite store so I would have to go to a different town or is it different enough when you're doing books cats and a bunch of other and a cafe as well I think it's still not right because you're still selling books so that's healthy to have some level of I just don't know if you're going to find a town without a bookstore I really don't well I think what I'm really saying and is that the crux of this is I'm I need to make my own town I think that's really what it is so I think I need to find an empty piece of land on the coast along the coastline oh yes and then that's when I really start up the bookstore the cafe someone can do the local grocer and it's literally just what a town needs the necessities all within like a very small area so it's technically its own yes but put a positive spin on that a commune oh by the way I've told you before I'm like very on board with joining yeah no I know that yeah yeah so I think what I'm looking for is not to join a town it's to be the town right I think that's what I'm kind of figuring out but anyway I think I'm going to move to La Jolla okay while I figure my out yeah yeah I get that I just it was an amazing I can't even get over it I can't believe it's been two hours away this whole time it is funny that way California's just all of these different maps why is the water so blue and it's so brown here different mayor I don't think that's why I don't know it's just a lot of people here it seems like it's a crazy difference like it's not even it doesn't even seem like the same but you can literally just pull up Google Maps and do like world view and you can see or like that it is definitely the same ocean but no I I'm saying like if you scroll up to Malibu or if you scroll south to like Manhattan Beach even it's like blue poop blue yeah Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Beach is even a lot bluer but like it still doesn't even compare to La Jolla I know I don't know me neither different sand for sure I'm not talking about the sand well the sand makes it yeah La Jolla appears bluer and clearer to its rocky Canyon adjacent geography oh it's the Canyon and protecting protected Marine areas that reduce sediment and algae conversely Santa Monica Beach water is blue and clear to its rocky area Santa Monica Beach water often appears greener or murkier due to shallow sandy bottoms hi sandy bottoms oh yeah I guess I get that the human-made sedimentation I got in the water the other day and I was just like having the time oh it was like right before we went down to San Diego and I was swimming I was gurgling ah la la la I was like it's like actually maybe I'm hmm looks different than usual get out dangerously high levels of bacteria levels of bacteria do not swim every hole I think you're fine I really do okay like imagine how much worse our ancestors had it they didn't have signs you know who knows where they were putting their bodies they also died at like 32. that's true so that is true and I think we might be making a couple more responses of trash and garbage and poisonous you know what I want to see I want to see a chart that's like average lifespans and the time periods we can probably l it might scare me well today oh my gosh i have an incredible announcement for you what today's the day that we all stop aging and no one else is born and no one dies that's today yay yeah how exciting happy yeah happy day i can show you more into that right after we look up the lifespans that are now irrelevant okay so 1816 that's unfortunately in chart form like bar graph and shit like that which is hard for me right now i don't know why there's so many lines i feel like there could just be one just tell me average tell me with words this looks like an echocardiogram from around the middle ages well middle ages is of a wide range 30 to 40 years frequent dips due to plague and famine in the 1800s it was still 30 to 40 1900s and 1950s rapid increases began you from 45 to 48 wait why is it only 72 to 73 now that's the average oh i don't like that don't love that either but good news is um i'm really in the mood for a medical advance you know it would blow chunks if like a massive like you get to be frozen at like 30 type of advance came when we were like 92 like completely no i don't know that's the golden years apparently 92 yeah we just wouldn't be like fucking and sucking like we used to aging listen i'm fine i just don't want to my body to break down and decay totally i think that that means we have to be proactive now with vitamins etc i'm fine dying at 95 as long as i love like my years my 95 years are good and healthy and i have a body that is kind to me and i'm kind to my body yeah your body is a it's a wonderland wonderland i do i i have that in my notes of like jokes and just says your body's a wonderland i'm like i wonder what i thought was i feel like you've done it before like if you transcript search tmg body is wonderland like i bet you'd find you doing that joke i do test a lot of jokes here and the way that they don't we know they don't land here and then i go and i do them somewhere else i'm like man they didn't work for a reason doesn't he remember the episode where they talked about wow oh my god legume wait we talked i looked wow that's real crazy like your mind like wow like it's like an amazing place your body's a wonderland whoa i wipe my nose on the mic they really did it well the transcript it really led us right to the end of the show i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like your body's a wonderland is that i just straight up just like your body's a wonderland oh cat looks so different something i'm like your mind like what she's blonde your mind your mind my teeth are massive like it's amazing like it's like an amazing place you are continuing to wipe your nose with the mic is there anything else you want to search no okay but yesterday i was watching basketball i don't have shit going on right now i was watching basketball i do you should have watched basketball yesterday with me the ncaa michigan no i had to finish jury duty which by the way you still haven't watched well i'm excited to well i need to be watching that at the same time with with other people because now i know well now i i'm gonna end up seeing what you telling me like it really didn't turn me on too much the way that you were like yeah it's just not like the same it's not at all the same and i don't think they should continue but the last episode was so bad it was amazing okay like it's so bad that it's good okay does that make sense okay yeah yo you know what we should have searched just now like something that we said again and i kind of want to like just stop talking about certain stuff we talked about the undersea internet cables that you brought up and then iran threatened to cut them like the week after iran's dead ass about to cut the cord and like who is listening to this podcast this is what i'm wondering like is it just that we're just discovering things that like people already know about and are already talking about and it's like obvious and we're just discovering them because they're now in the zeitgeist or are people listening to us there's no telling the the absolute breadth of our viewership like i don't really know iran has threatened to cut the undersea cables in the persian gulf that provide a global internet connectivity oh we have to do something because it's all i have right now to get me through the days is to fear monger and doom girl honestly i need to finish my book my my horrible if someone cut the cord and i did not have access to the internet and the world didn't have access to the internet for like a while until we got the cords repaired it could be another classic example of like something horrible happening and it kind of ending up being for the greater good when covid happened and it was obviously horrible but then everyone started going on walks and it was kind of beautiful it could be another one of those things brooke kiss your bread well said like way to think beyond where i put us into a fear-mongering corner and you said hold my hand i'm gonna take you out of this place yeah it could be yeah a classic example of the a light in the dark 100 except i do think that we have reached a place where that would be catastrophic listen i'm not saying it wouldn't be catastrophic like i mean you're saying like imagine we just like can't get on instagram i think it's more like like world like like economies would crumble and connor and i'm agreeing with you the same way that covid like was also that bad like really a bad thing you gotta look for that yeah liver of light i eat people going on walks they cut the cables for the global internet people might start to think about going on maybe on a walk around your neighborhood every once in a while might start to think about going on walks again yeah okay i like that see what i'm saying yeah i do like that yeah um i think that like planes would low-key like fall out of the sky but what do i know i was you know what i was planes wouldn't fall is he would you mind googling will planes fall out of the sky if you cut the what are those called internet if my wi-fi goes out will the plane fall no people flew planes without wi-fi for a long time it's easy to forget that no cutting underwater cables will not cause planes fall out of the sky you're fear-mongering it's just where your head goes we've got to turn that you know what i think will help you journaling you know what's what if you know it'd be crazy if like google gave pulled up a clip of art as a source of like a question that we typed in it was like no according to according to make a podcast in 2026 planes will not be falling out of the sky today this afternoon okay here's what happened there was a really no significant disruptions to internet banking communications and digital services occur affecting national economies boom kiss my brain um planes are capable of navigation and safe landing without internet connectivity because i think they have radios there was a really scary episode of criminal minds where there was uh i guess it was terrorism but this terrorist was targeting like individual commercial planes one by one and just hacking the mainframe of the planes that's not even okay because i don't know again we don't know who's listening well it's an episode of criminal minds it's already out oh it's been out for years i hope that that i'm just saying that was like to me like scarier than than serial killers it was scarier than serial killers so seriously it's crazy yeah so anyway i think i spelled cord wrong i wrote in my notes iran cutting the cord but i spelled it c-h-o-r-d like the musical chord but is that that's not how you spell it i think you just see it drop the h yeah so this is like yeah so i spelled it wrong that which is it goes to show you like that's a great um reason like i shouldn't be talking about this if i can't spell cord i don't know i think you can have a general grasp on something without being able to spell i don't know can i be negative again and then i'm gonna snap out of it i'm gonna snap out of it because i think i'm usually pretty positive about in the general way i don't agree really yeah just recently i've been pretty negative and it's because i'm projecting it from a personal space okay but um you know when we were all going on walks and playing pokemon go and stuff and everyone was like look at how our phones are like getting us outside the company was storing all the data from us playing pokemon go to like train ai to or to give to create models for like way mouse to be able to drive on the streets because we were like filming streets and landmarks and oh really yeah like people you see people do that now like set up cameras and like get like google earth photos like we were doing that for them oh cool at least it was fun i fucked with pokemon go i know you did so heavily that it like got in the way of living my life i know like i would just i lived um because this was i was still living at home and i lived by a train station i mean i would wake up in the middle of the night like three o'clock in the morning and three a.m check pokemon go there would be an extremely rare creature at the train station i would sprint in my booty shorts and slippers to the train station dangerous dangerous thing to do but i got that i got catch them all yeah for sure and then i took my i got my phone jailbroken to access the rare tamagotchi that you could only not tamagotchi pokemon the rare pokemon that you could only get in japan so i was

something light and funny yeah your bangs fell down gosh but it's fine you know what you would look good in one of those headbands like rafael nadal yes oh i have one you should do that really yeah i think day to day yeah yeah or we you should do try it for the live show tomorrow wear a headband to the live show tomorrow yeah i'd be worried what people would say about me this guy's in a headband be honest about what's going on and you're experimenting as long as you're honest and there's clear communication no one's going to be talking about it as long as you talk about it first that's what i've learned get ahead of it yeah i know what you're thinking is he in a headband yes i'm trying new things with my body so then obviously no one's going to be like connor being afraid of me i'm going to be like connor being afraid of me i'm going to be like connor being afraid of me i'm going to be like connor being afraid of me freaking a headband you already took care of it i know i wasn't being a freak either i was just trying something i want to talk about the drama because i saw it you can talk about it i don't know if i'll get my my butt up to go see it you have got to see the drama one of the i think it's the best movie i've seen in 2026 okay i'll go see it it i did not want to i didn't even think about like my phone for the entire movie usually like even if a movie is good towards the end i'm like all right let's wrap this up like i'm ready to play fruit merge or something not once did i think that during this film in fact i was like i hope it goes longer how long was it perfect length it was like 145 or something well done it was so good and so unique and really really made you think and i know it's being marketed it's like there's this big twist i don't i didn't really align with that it didn't feel like there was like a huge twist it just felt like oh this is the plot this is the a plot point in the film it's like not necessarily like where you're expecting the film to go but when people were like oh there's this huge twist i thought it was going to be like it's all a movie or it's all a dream movie or like a movie within a movie within a like something like black mirrory but it's just like the plot goes in a direction that you might not okay i'll watch it it's really really good can i watch it i'll watch it before we record again yeah maybe not before we record again i'll watch it we will probably we will record again tomorrow and the next day and the next day not tomorrow but we have to show each other but it was fabulous phenomenal my friend rob just absolutely knocked it out of the park zendaya incredible alana heim was really good yeah she's a big part wow she played probably one of the most unlikable characters i'm so dumb that when i see someone play an unlikable character i genuinely don't i can't wrap my head around enjoying their personality yeah that is good acting i think that will happen to you with her but she's amazing in real life i just she was on um something recently she had she she was in one battle after another right i don't know i never saw that but i think she was that was a that one that was one that threw me threw me around in circles and loop but i like loop vibes i don't think so yeah she's in one battle after another yeah she's in one battle she's really acting a lot good for her yeah the drama was fabulosity squared zendaya is in so think about this the drama which i don't know how it's doing in theaters i think really good okay so the drama dune she's in a marvel movie this year and i think she's in two more what marvel she's gonna make spider-man yeah i think is it spider-man i don't think there's another spider-man this year she's gonna make like genuinely genuinely genuinely genu lo so half a billion dollars this year she's in spider-man oh it's absolutely coming out in july 2026 yeah i mean she's not strapped for cash how do you do five movies in a year well they're probably all filmed in different times and even different years yeah but even just press i mean i would be completely drained okay but i think like a lot of it is like and i'm talking out of my ass as i'm not an actor but i'm sure there are a lot of years where it's like you're not doing any press and you're just filming and then there are years when you're just doing press and you're not filming you know yeah and then it's kind of just like that's your job zendaya is disappearing from the public eye after four movies in 2026 hope you don't get sick i couldn't we couldn't can i read that we first comment she's probably in the early stages of being pregnant and she's she will come back when she's what totally so glad i read that i can never be sick of zendaya breathtaking beauty and style i agree timeless self-awareness that person's like yeah we were getting tired do you think she would like you i was just thinking if she would like me i don't know what that yeah because i think that if she squinted and maybe if she was underwater oh i forgot i was underwater as well maybe she'd be like is that my fiance i love her yeah yeah they're married yeah my husband yeah but i'm talking about like imagine you had a bag over your head would you like your personality i think so i only i have a handful of people that genuinely with their chest don't like me and i think i'm pretty aware of it yeah and i i stand with them but i think in general like if it was just a you're likable yeah i think that we could have a good we could have some good chat is he would you mind looking up tom holland bangs let's see if he ever tried it i think my bangs look more like me yeah i think that's a good one i think that's a good one i think that's a good one i think that's a good one i think

like hard block okay to me it's like bubble letters like it's bubble but like bubble buddy like bubbles opaque is just a bubble opaque the letters are bubble letters that are just made out of bubbles opaque to me is no opaque to me is this water bottle but then you think of the word transparent and well first of all translucent 100 that's like jellyfish yeah that's giving jellyfish transparent is more like window slime oh that's what i'm seeing slime - I love slime. - And then opaque is like water to me. like opaque is the most is more see-through than translucent opaque in terms of words that

happen ever i don't know i know what happens with like your colon you know what i learned recently what if you're unable to take anything seriously and you make jokes about everything it's usually a common sign of frontal lobe damage and and i'm like well i've never hit my head very hard and then someone was like and the other sign of frontal lobe damage is you don't remember getting it someone would tell you unless you were completely alone which would be rare every time i suffer a traumatic brain injury like completely alone it would have to be a traumatic brain injury yeah but i also um every time i hear the word alone i think of squidward with all those tiles in the void that's the worst spongebob sometimes hit me like in a very panic attack space in the book that i'm reading the this woman is a race so that means her soul can like hop from body to body to body good for her and as a punishment for betraying her government they took her soul out of its current body locked it in a box and threw it at the bottom of the ocean you evil witch why did you tell me and now it's she's just gonna live her soul is going to live in eternity in a box at the bottom of the ocean she's going she's gonna go insane for indefinite forever infinity is that not horrible that like i almost can't think of anything worse right now she's in a box i think they'll get her though like eventually you've been there for months though if someone puts my soul in a box i'll let you know if they ever got finder no you need to legitimately come get me i mean imagine connor like she's at the equivalent of the bottom of the mariana trend she's with the cable okay so i think that that sounds horrible but truly that's exactly how i'm how i felt when i was doing that survey for money in college you felt like you were in the box i felt like i was at that bottom of the ocean my soul was locked in a box and we were arguing over vaginal meth mesh not vaginal vaginal mesh vaginal mesh no that was my call center job when i was doing the survey i didn't know it was about vaginal mesh yes it was a mock trial and they were seeing who was wrongfully it was like wrongful they fucked her shit up basically like her vaginal mesh was like all over the place wait what is vaginal mesh like if you like your uterine lining like if you have some sort of um she got like an implant like some reconstruction and then they like grotesquely f up like you have to get vaginal mesh to like like to reform and things like to rebuild it not not you sorry like what you're putting down so um everyone was like i was like full-blown like fuck that like give this woman her money you know like it's her why so were you making calls on behalf of no i was sitting in a room with like 12 of a jury of my own peers which like is crazy because i was like this is jury duty full-blown like you couldn't have put a more random group there's a pregnant woman there was like a full-blown like crackhead there was like like like an older gentleman like old old old like 150 something they look like a tortoise or a ghost and then um like a middle-aged like mom type that was like probably still and we're like the whole thing was like we get to leave when we come to a consensus like some people were like no i can't agree it's we'd be like nine out of ten people would agree and and i was like literally i like blew my lid at some point and i'm in college you know i'm 19 i'm like literally it doesn't matter like it doesn't matter this is fake and they came in the room i didn't know they were watching us one-way mirror type shit you can't do that i was like okay that makes sense yeah how did it just it was just like how did it end up the woman got her money good like hypothetically though and i got my money too it was eight hundred dollars two full days like of seven and a half hours in this room my soul was trapped at the bottom of the ocean had to eat lunch with these folks they took our phones the whole day not that i was like really doing anything i think i still probably had vine yeah it's like i really didn't have anything to do but still it was just like wow wow wow like the first day was so horrible that i almost thought about you didn't get paid per day you got paid when you finish it i thought about not going back the second day and my roommates were like you're you're going back wow to pay rent the call center was completely i've heard of that story so many times but it's crazy that you just failed to mention it was all around vaginal man the whole thing was orbiting around the mesh so vaginally it's crazy what what you choose to admit vaginally something like that can never happen again to me i get that oh i get that i got a letter in a mail in a mailbox it didn't happen to be mine i missed jury duty again believe it or not and this is my final warning and then you go to jail and i have to pay a fine but like i will go to jury duty this time you could

  2. The conversation explores societal norms around hair, especially men wearing bangs, with the host questioning whether such styles are universally acceptable or just a personal preference that sparks collective unease.
  3. A significant theme is the human tendency to project fear and judgment onto unfamiliar experiences—such as space travel or internet outages—while the host emphasizes the importance of personal agency, journaling, and self-expression in navigating self-doubt and societal expectations.

Summary:

The conversation begins with a personal reflection on the host’s bangs, exploring how individuals often lack a true understanding of their own appearance and are judged harshly by others. The host shares his discomfort with the idea of men wearing bangs, questioning societal norms and whether such styles are truly acceptable. This leads to a broader discussion about personal agency, self-expression, and the ways people react to unfamiliar or disruptive changes—like space travel or global internet outages.

The host uses humor and anecdotal storytelling to illustrate how these scenarios trigger fear, but also reveal deeper truths about human vulnerability and connection. A key moment involves the host’s dream about his deceased dog, which ties into memories, emotional processing, and the subconscious. The narrative then shifts to a personal journey of journaling and physical manifestation, where the host embraces tangible tools like leather-bound notebooks to replace digital note-taking.

This is linked to a broader desire to create a self-sustaining, intentional lifestyle—such as founding a town with a bookstore, cafe, and local grocer. The host also touches on current cultural topics, including the success of a new film, the growing presence of celebrities like Zendaya, and the potential consequences of cutting undersea internet cables. Ultimately, the conversation blends personal experience, social observation, and self-reflection, emphasizing the importance of authenticity, emotional honesty, and proactive self-care in a world that often feels disconnected.

The host concludes by noting how small acts—like wearing a headband or writing in a journal—can become meaningful steps toward self-understanding and community.
