Never Trust A Traitor

(audience cheering) - Are we recording? - Oh, absolutely. - Absolutely not. - I am buzzing. Never before, is he how many episodes has this been? - 210. - This is the 210. Never before, in all of the 209 episodes we've recorded, have I had more than I need to speak about? - Okay, that's awesome. I, in addition to that, I have a huge list too. - I feel stressed about that. - Don't worry about it, baby. - Baby. - Baby, come on now. - Baby, I feel really stressed today. - Don't feel stressed in my arms, come on. - Come on, give it to me good. Hit me with what you got right now. Let's bullet fire it off. Come on, star right now. - I need you to pack it up real tight and I need you to tape it up. - You're not talking to pack it up tight. I need you to pack it up real tight. I need you to send it out and through and up. - Oh cool. (upbeat music) - I have to tell you something. - What? - I wanna give you advice. - What? - Learn. - I'm not looking for advice, thank you though. I need, this is advice I need you to heed. - What? - It's more of a warning I need you to heed. - Is it personal for me or can apply to everyone? - Who could happen to you? - I'm not looking for personal advice right now. I appreciate you though. - Don't worry, I'm just, this is personal advice. Like this is something that can happen. - What? - When you wake up and you feel congested. - Okay. - No matter how. - Connor, I woke up feeling really weirdly congested in one nostril. - I woke up and this is why I want you to heed. - And I had forgotten about it. - And then you brought that up, how weird. - My mom always says, go, like you need to get on something right now to get the congestion out of your body so that, 'cause if it sits there and lives in you for a while, this is why Musin X is someone. It will make itself at home. That's what the Musin X monster was so comfortable living in there and he had two kids. And they were going off to school. They were full blown active members of their community right in the chest. - Yeah. - And then there's an infection that comes right behind them. So you have to affect it. - You have to be the landlord of your lungs and you have to say, rent is going up, find your way out, up through my boobs and out my tubes. - Can I make a prediction? - Yeah. - You are not the landlord of your lungs right now. You haven't, you can hear it. I sound like booby the clown, you know. - You have a, you have a, not a tenant, squatter. - I have a squatter, yeah, and they have squatter's rights. And I'm, you know, you gotta abide by the law of the land. That's my bad I should have done this a week ago. But I didn't, and this morning empty stomach, I'm heading out to this thing this morning. I have two coffees and I take them Musin X. Let me tell you. - Been there my brother. - Let me tell you, if you want to be the weirdest person in the room, take him Musin X on an empty stomach and have two coffees. - Oh, were you not puke? I guess it's not a zinc base. - No, I'm serious when I say that I do think that there's a little bit of math or something in Musin X. - Okay. Yeah, I mean, there isn't suit of fed. - Brooke, I was being such a freak and it was weird to be aware that you're being a freak. You know, I would have a very normal interaction, but then I wouldn't stop there. And this was across the board. Like it was like, I'm trying to think of one specific, I was talking with Reese Feldman this morning. - Love. - Like, love of my life. You know, it's just such a special, such a special man. Do you know the video of Zendaya and she's sitting there with Tom Holland? She's like, and he laughs at first. - That's weird. - And then she does it again. He doesn't see, so she overdoses it. That's how I was being with. No, it's like, I say something, it's funny. - Oh, it's not weird. - And then I keep going. - Okay. - And this person, someone's not listening and I'm like, I say it again, they're like, no, I heard you. - Yeah. - That's kind of where I'm at. So right now I'm just experiencing it. I'm trying to get as much nutrients in my body to offset the, the musey as possible, but it's for my head's at. - Understood. Thank you for letting me know where your head is at. - My head is at, in the space that there is an announcement coming out today in the form of a fall or daddy episode. I'm with Sarah J. Mass and we are getting probably the next Aqatar installment. And so that could be happening like right now and I'm not on my phone and I just don't know. And so I'm shaking. And apparently some sleuths have discovered that there might be three books being announced. I think you don't go, you don't go, you don't seek out Alex Cooper unless you have a trilogy. - I feel like I could fly. (laughs) I am so excited. - I just don't know what she's gonna say. He. I'm being fed. - You are. - I am being fed. I've got this, you know the book I love about the monster that's a bell hop. - Mm-hmm. - That author just posted a story that he's working on a third one of those. - Good. - What else is happening? Something else is happening too. - I saw you post something else. - I keep posting. I can't stop posting. It's just hit after hit after hit. - Brooke, I know. - Connor. - Like, no, something happened where Snapchat like subscribed me to you and I'm like, she's like one of my, she's in my list, you know? Yeah, every one of your stories, I get as an alert on my phone. - That's, okay. That's, I don't know how that's happening 'cause I'm also getting alerts that I did not subscribe to. - No, and it's like, Brooke Averick. Yeah, I'm in back in, so what? - Snapchat, how does my diary? - All good, man. - Yeah, Snapchat is my diary. I'm obviously a fan of yours, but Snapchat doesn't know that. - Appreciate it. - No, Rob, Rouse, doing Quinn. - Yeah. - That's crazy. It's just like, I'm getting so much content. - His little promo was funny too. He's like, and this young man kind of shows up and he's gonna give her a hand, maybe two hands, maybe his penis. - I'm, I've bottomed out on all of his snake content. - You want? - You want? - You bottomed out? - Yeah. - My bottom out, I mean, went back to the bottom of his feed. - Okay. - Yeah. - That's important for people, maybe listening for the first time. - Yeah. My life has completely been changed. Since the last time I saw you, because I found out how to open my creative third eye. - Let me, let a bitch know how to do that, please. I'd really like that. - Connor, first thing you do when you wake up, get your coffee, sit down. I want you to write three pages stream of consciousness. They're called morning pages, okay? You know the artist's way. - Yep. - That's like the biggest part of the artist's way is just every morning, start by writing. - Can I ask you something? - You may. - Is an artist's way like clowned on in the creative community as being like, rich dad, poor dad, bullshit? - I'm actually really not sure and I'm not doing the whole, it's like a full 12 week program that I'm not doing. I'm just taking the morning pages aspect. And when I tell you, I am finally like now in a able to write, like I used to with Phoebe, after I do those three morning pages, I open my eye, all by just writing three pages in the morning, doesn't take long. It's not a big thing. Such a little thing you can do. You can literally just write like I slept poorly last night, like I'm hungry. - It's like a journal, journaling thing? - Yeah, it's just stream of consciousness. And you can be surprised at what comes out. I unlocked one major epiphany the other day. - Whoa. - Yeah. - Okay, now that's a third eye. - Yeah. - Now I sat down the other day to, I got two things for you. - Please give them to me. - Okay, I'll give them to you. Are you willing to receive? - Always. - Wow, I sound like a little hungry little pig. I'm breathing so hard for my congestion. - It's okay, we know you're not the landlord. - I'm just like, it's out of my control. She's out of my hands. Okay, so I go to the coffee shop. I said, I'll start with, and this is like without you telling me that, we are synced up today. - I do not. - But I need you to have lunch and then take me to the next. You can get ahead of it. Do not become this. So, I go, I'm gonna go to the shop. I'm gonna take out my pad. I'm gonna write a gratitude journal before I begin. I was at the warm-up. And as I sit, lo and behold, and this won't surprise you at all. Although this was not a promise that I made to you. I made a very specific promise to you. Craw trips out of my pants. - Yeah. talking chords. I'm talking corduroy's. Yeah. Well, gratitude journaling, which makes you kind of reconsider any sort of gratitude you'd have for your life. Why are you investing in just like really cheap pants? No, they're from made well. You know made well quality is pretty. Your ass is so fat. Do you know? Well, I wish it was like a positive connotation thing. I do think that like don't think like I'm not really doing anything to have a have a positive body change. I'm running a little less. Yeah, it's so cool. No, I said try spreading a little bit less like your legs. Yeah, I could. I mean, I was sitting on a bar stool. I wasn't really spreading. It's except for balance. Yeah. And you were you were you were not wearing your panties. I was I am yeah, I'm wearing underwear great. I'm wearing skims. Oh, yay. Yeah, even. And these are the pants. No, the pants I'm not wearing. Okay, this was not this was not today, this was two days ago. Now, I'm sitting there, I'm like, I'm already at the coffee shop. So I'm going to stay here with my with this new extended pair of pants that offers me a little bit more flexibility here in the parcel. And I'm I get a chicken salad salad. I didn't realize it was going to be chicken salad. Just order chicken on my kale Caesar. It's chicken salad, which was a nice surprise. I was going to say to me, that would be an extremely pleasant surprise. And it spread very easily across the whole bowl had a good spread fact. I love that chicken salad has that, you know, they don't have chicken salad in Los Angeles, not good, but doesn't Jones on third have I think they have a curry chicken salad and I don't like curry. I love curry. I know. So anyways, I take I take it. I'm eating this chicken. The thing about chicken salad is like, you got to make sure you get the whole fork in your mouth. And don't get too confident. So I didn't get it. I missed my mouth twice. There's a young man that was on a zoom call. He's taking a zoom call to coffee shop, which like I have qualms about. I understand that sometimes you, it makes sense. You're going to be working there all day. You have to take one quick zoom call the whole time I was there. He was taking a zoom call. Yeah, I don't subscribe to that. And he's sitting really, he was, I think he was a little bit peed that I had had to choose the seat next to him. So he left his tote bag just like really close to my stool. So every time I get down to pee or something like my foot would get stuck in his toe, like in the farm. And I'm like, like, sorry, I got my foot's in your feet. I'm just going to squeeze by my toe was in your foot. Brooklyn, I'm not 100% positive, but like I totally am because I saw it. I missed my mouth one time with this huge chunk of chicken salad. Blue into the toe. It's in the bottom of his toe. It's probably still like, it went, it went splat. Yeah, like definitely because it was not like a viscosity of the salad was not too of viscosity. What week two of viscosity? Oh, yeah, I mean, it was clumpy, you know, so to bring it back to the clumps, as we always do, it's it had it had a clump factor that was really heavy. So he's I'm thinking about this young man, but he was on a call. I had my tubes were tied. I really couldn't have let him know that there would be something waiting for him at home. Yeah, it sounds like a him problem. I mean, he had it coming, but it wasn't something that I sought out to do to him. It's something that happened to him because of the grace of God and it's an intention versus impact type of situation. Brooke, well said, although I think that's it. That is in defense of him, which I don't want to do. I'm trying to defend you. I mean, he wasn't intentionally. I'm going to get benefited out because he didn't even make eye contact with me. Okay, but it's like control your toe. You know, keep an eye on your kid, keep an eye on your toe. Keep an eye on your toe. If your toe bag sits wide open, what could fall in? You'll never know. It might be susceptible to clump and chicken salad. Opening where you are. It's so it's a risk of of toding. Speaking of toast, check this out. Hit me with that base supply bag. Whoa, you see my pens. Wow, you're really living like a Phoebe dream. I know. I'm morphing into the girl, but I can fit up to like seven journals in a year and my laptop and my two little printers. It is a full Mary Poppins bag and my two sticker books. It's the solar for anyone wondering the Zoolah. Sula. Isn't that the woman that helps you give birth in a tub at home? That's a doula. That is exactly what I'm talking about the Sula. Oh, yeah. So that's what that's. Oh, and there's the Sula pouch, but I have a different kind of pouch that I put my washi tapes and scissors and stuff in. Thank you. Yeah, that's the Sula. Anyway, nice. You ready to hit for me to hit you with two pretty severe things. Yeah. Something pretty severe happened to me yesterday. First thing. This is number severe thing number one. Okay. It will henceforth to us and the community be known as actually. No, I don't want to call it that because I think that's actually something already. But let's just say it's not good. Okay. I get a text. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Hi, Brooke. We have such an exciting opportunity for you. Would you want to get on a plane tomorrow? So that would be today Wednesday. Yeah. And fly to Manchester, England. To see the one night, one night, only Harry Styles concert Netflix will fly you out everything like that. Wow. Do I want to do that? 587.8% rounded up. Yes. I want to do that here, the two roadblocks that I faced. There's two. Mm hmm. Cats. No, not even that one me. Nope, not even you. Oh, come on, man. One, I could have figured out the cats. I could have figured out the podcast. First roadblock was. So he's birthday is this Saturday. And I would still have to be in in Manchester for it. And she was like, I don't want to do anything for my birthday this year. And I made a pretty big stink. About you're going to do something. You just sit back, relax, take a load off, I'm going to plan it, whatever. And I kind of feel like I had dropped the ball for her 30th a little bit. So I really wanted to do something. And by something, I mean, just like plan a beach day, but like something nonetheless. And it just would not have felt right for me to be like, I am going to head out now. Yeah. Happy birthday. Um, so that was the one one thing that was good for your good friend. That was weighing on me. Two is that my passport expires in two weeks. He can just start you with that one. Which in most places, you need a six month buffer. But in the UK, you don't. But also like that would be pretty scary to risk. A passport that expires on March 20th. Yeah. Especially just like with everything right now. I would say yeah, the nuclear war would have been my number one reason not to travel abroad right now. Sure. That as well. And so I won. So these birthday, what am I supposed to do? My hands are tied to the nuclear war was kind of bugging me. It was kind of getting to me with that expired passport. Mm. Coming up around the corner. Um, and so I will not be in attendance. Okay. At the Harry Styles one night once in a lifetime, one night only event. And that's it. That's something that's weighing on me pretty, pretty heavily. I do truly think there's a reason why there were so many factors blocking your entry to Harry's house. I hope that it's not something that I'll regret for the rest of my life. But I don't know. It's too, it's too soon to say it's your only say. I think I'll have a really hard time when that a concert special hits Netflix. That's what I'll say. Like I should have been there. Ah, I should have been it should I supposed to be in the video. Like those kinds of vibes, you know. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough, man. I don't know what to say. Um, I think a lot of people would do the same and a lot of people would do differently. That's a good point. So that that's hard. And I just hope you know how I always look back on the Hamilton original cast and how I I never saw them. And how if I if I've won regret in life, it's that although there weren't really as as many roadblocks to that. But I just hope that I don't end up regretting this for the rest of my life. I don't think I will. I think I made the right choice. Even them completely devastated. But it will be okay. It will be So I mean, these things pass. And I'm excited for SOTY's birthday. Second thing that I just wanted to touch on really quickly is just a PSA to the general public. Something I've learned recently is that if you post something on the internet, doesn't matter where, doesn't matter if you think no one's going to see this. You need to be prepared for anyone in the world to see it. So every time you post, you need to think to yourself, "It is possible that every single person in the world could see this." And you have to ask yourself, "Am I okay with this?" If you are, go ahead and post that for me. If you're not okay with even one person seeing it, maybe hold off on it. Just a moment. Just a moment. Is this something that I learned? Did you learn this last week or last week's episode? Yeah. Right. Right. And I just wanted to share that now if I have even an inch of a doubt about something, it's not getting posted, that's how I'm living my life moving forward. I like that. That's good rule of thumb. Anyone can see anything if it's on the internet. And I didn't think you would see that. It's not, unfortunately, as much as I want it to be. It's not really about excuse when you're posting publicly. Oh my gosh. Which actually reminds me, I went to Frame Bridge over the weekend. Yeah. And Ray was there. Oh, how is he? And he said, he was like, thanks for bringing me out. I'm a wealth of stories. I really think that we may be trying to tap into him when you're in town. Oh my gosh. We have him on for a segment. I would love that. He shared some intro to some of the stories and I was like, oh, I just hold that thought. Because this does sound so interesting. But it was so funny because I go to Frame Bridge, obviously, I frequent. And that was my first time seeing him. And I was genuinely very scared to run into you because I feel like I blew up your spot. People were dressed up as you for Halloween, you know? You know, I was so tickled by the girl that dressed up as you were, you love her. Right. I sent her Phoebe. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, you did. Mm-hmm. That is too sweet. It just felt like really, like, amazing to me that someone is that invested. Yeah. No, me too. And so. That is so sweet, Brooke. I mean, hey, anytime. I had another story from the weekend that I was going to tell two quick things actually, Uno. I have been really seeking out, like, when I go out on the town now, like, I want a buggy. Like I forgot, like, I enjoy getting down, you know, totally. For a while, I thought maybe I'm a sitter. Like I just, I really don't want to go unless because they're like a base camp for people to sit, really enjoy. Now I figured out a more of a dancer. I find it. Did you not always know that? No, I knew I liked to dance like at a wedding and stuff. I'm happy to be first in this, in the, on the dance floor. But I really like kind of grooving it, you know, like, I know the songs, I want to dance a little bit. And so I'm dancing at this bar and it wasn't like a bar bar. It was kind of like, like, you knew every song, it was like, I'm just dancing on my, like that kind of music. And I'm sitting there, I'm kind of grooving and I was really having fun. And then later on in the night, there was like a corner of girls. They were on like a bachelorette trip and this girl comes up and goes, I love it. Like, and I'm getting ready to be like, I don't like the way she's like, I love it. You just don't care at all what people think. So she moves in her own way by the coups. Great song. Yeah. I agree. But I do care a lot with people then. And for her to deliver that is like a, wow, you really like, you're so brave. Yeah. It is, it is a micro aggression for sure. Well, it's such a micro aggression to be like, I love that you don't care what people think. I do. Yeah. I care deeply what people think. And now I want to go home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got back. Yeah. You will never catch me dancing. I'm a sitter like through and through and through to my bones. You jump. I'm not even 1% of the answer. You jump. You jump. Huh? I've seen you bounce. No, you haven't. Like, slowly, like to the beat, like, I've seen you dancing and say, whoo. I could say whoo. I wouldn't call what I do dancing. It's more of just like, I will, I will move a little bit. If I have to, but I am so, I have no rhythm. And I'm just so embarrassed by it that thinking of anyone like seeing that, because when you look at someone and they have no rhythm, it's a tough look, you know? Well, I think that that's probably POV or that girl watching me dance. No, you have rhythm. I don't. I thought I had rhythm at one point in my life. I lost it. No. The emperor needs to find his new groove. When you start calling me the emperor, um, let's see if you aren't it by the end of the episode. Okay. No. Fair. Yeah. I should earn it. Um, and two, the second place I dance this weekend, I went and saw Conan Gray in concert. He's such a, it was such a treat. You know that that's going to be like the new, that's, I mean, not the new, but like, you know, he's going to be the biggest star on the planet. What have I been saying about Conan Gray? No, I mean, I, obviously, I've been a fan too, but like you, you, I, seeing him in the show. And it was a, it was the, it was the, it was a theatrical performance. The production that went into the show, his live show was so otherworldly and I didn't know our friend, Emma was going to be there too, and I saw Emma. And it was such, it was so much fun. Yeah. Get to hang out after the show. We had such a good time. It was just such a, wow. I'm, have the opportunity to see Conan in concert. You should definitely, obviously, very jealous. Have you heard his song, The Winner? Yes. But to me, I want everyone to press pause on this episode and give that a listen. It's full body chills every time. It was also amazing because I've, the arena that he performed tonight, only seen like hockey games in. Oh. And to see him sell out the same arena as a hockey match or hockey, hockey match. I think game, honestly. A game of hockey, a match of hockey hockey, hockey game gives it, hey, man, who gives a rip? Who gives? It was so many people and it might be a match, it might be hockey match. Anyway, it was really good. So that was really fun. Yeah. He's incredible. I love the guy. And I feel like deeply connected to him because just like the lyrics, honestly, like the way he writes about just like avoidance and nausea and deep, deep unrequited love, like yeah. Unrequited. Yeah. Otherwise, unrequited. Unrequited? Yeah. It's unrequited. What? Right? Yeah. Can we just have someone, can we, can we have them, can we have them say it? Can I hear it? Can I get a second opinion? I believe you, Brooke, with my whole heart, I just need to hear someone else say it. I got it. Unrequited. Whoa! I'm so glad that this has never come up. I'm shocked. I've never said unrequited before. It does not sound right. It is unrequited. Yeah. My gosh. Wow. And what does that mean? What does it mean? Yeah. Oh, like not returned. Sad. Oh, so sad. It's like unrequited. It's like almost like unrequited. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. I have a cavity. Damn. You know, I never had one. Yeah. I know. You tell me every time I have one of my 11 cavities, which is so funny because I don't eat like any candy. I brush my teeth constantly. I'm flossing like it's nobody's. It is genetics. I don't floss. When people are, when people leave a situation, they're like, um, so worry that my breast tank. And then I always tell them like, don't worry. Like no one is remembering it. Just so you know, if I meet someone in your breast, things like you are now stinky breath to me for the rest of your day. I know. Even if every other interaction we have is just minty fresh, beautiful smell on your body. You are stinky cavernous. It's a hard one. It's a hard one. It's a hard one. No. Like I don't shake it. I remember that for the rest of my life. I know. I know. I know. You know, I have an issue with smells. I know. And I have an issue with sounds as well. I know that too. And sight. I know that. And I don't love how things feel sometimes. I agree. The texture of them. Yeah. Senses are tough. What is it? Am I missing any touch? Taste. I don't think I'm super sensitive to taste. Okay. So maybe that's my one, um, whatever the opposite of an Achilles heel is. I think, yeah. I think Santa is my, oh, and set and sound. Yeah. Um, well, whoa, I just sounded like I have a disease. Um, what was I going to say? about it. It doesn't matter. But breath. Yeah, the breath. It doesn't matter. Here's what I'll say. What? So Rob won traders. Yes. Which is crazy because when you DMed him, like, Hey, can you come on the podcast? Like he had already won. Like he knew that. Yeah. We're not getting to him, champ. Well, he was on the tonight show last night. Yeah. Dude, I think that the ship has has left the harbor. Yeah. That's something I'm coming to terms to with. He said, he said, yes, I would love to. I think that it was a formality, which I appreciate more than life itself. But we won't be seeing Rob anytime soon. I mean, the guy's got a busy schedule. His guy has completely blown up 10 to 15 in the face. Talk about someone that absolutely let themselves go. Do you don't watch, right? You didn't watch? I started and then I got obviously sidetracked. Here's what I'll say about this. The guy was a trader through and through from the very beginning. He played the game and he played like a trader. And I am done hearing people shit on him for playing the game. What are people saying? People are just like, he's a snake. That's the whole thing. Of course he was. Yeah. People are like angry with him because he really fucked people over at the end as is the game. But like the guy played probably the best game I've seen. I would be really concerned about people having actual visceral feelings about someone playing the game. Well, there's visceral feelings about it. It pisses me off the guy. I mean, I just played the game. I would absolutely love to be in a situation where you get rewarded by being manipulative. I think you should I like 1000% and I've thought about this like daydream about it of us both being on traders. Brooke, my God. And you're obviously a trader and I'm a faithful and like I'm so sorry Connor, like I can't be your ally. Like I wouldn't trust a word you said and I would say that in my confessionals too. What? I would not trust you. Although, if you're a trader and I'm a faithful and I am your ally, you would keep me in the game. You are evil. Well, I know you're the trader through and through. No, what if I wasn't a trader? I know you are. Okay. So now we'll never get cast because now. No, I mean, you might not be. But like to me, like I just can't trust a word you say. What the fuck? What do you mean? You just said about you just said you're grateful that there's a game you can lie and manipulate your way through. I don't do that. IRL. That's something I'm doing day-to-day. What do you mean you don't trust a word I say? I'm talking about in the game. Oh my gosh. We are in the game right now. Once we step into the game, it's just like, I don't have so much to say. Oh my gosh. I'm just like, this is changed the way I look at you outside of the game. Now, we've got done with talking about how it's a game. I feel like you just absolutely entrap me at the corner cope. No. I am playing a faithful game and I know that you're scary. No, I'm not. You're scary. You're scaring me. You're gaslighting me. You're scaring me. You're gaslighting me because you're, yeah, I'm not doing this. No. I'm not gaslighting you. You are. You're scaring me. I'm talking about how you want to be a trader, how you're a great manipulator, how you're a liar. Now I'm telling you that I would know that you're lying to me most likely and I'm not going to trust you and now you're blaming me. Yes. Oh absolutely. What else in the room? Oh absolutely. I'm having a wild, wild out of touch fantasy about one day being cast and that would be so fun to act. And you're saying, I don't trust a word you say you should. I, okay, picture this. Picture this for me. We're in the game. We're in the castle. You're a trader. You tell me with your masterful acting and manipulation skills, Brooke, I promise you I'm a faithful. I'm supposed to believe that. You just expect me to believe that and I'm going to read your neck. You expect me to believe that? I would. Yeah. No. Peacock would not have to do with me. I'd never forgive you. The first double homie said it's like we actually both died. And oh, I hope and you know there's trader on trader crime, right? Yes. If I was a trader and you were a trader, I would hope that there would not be any trader on trader crime. I would rather lose than have trader on trader. You know what? And you think that before you go in like, I am going to be a team with my traders, but shit happens. No, not like that. Control the other traders. My family can no longer play putt putt. We can no longer play monopoly because things got too heated. I know that you're able to lose yourself in a game. You can lose yourself. I'm very competitive. And obviously I like winning, but not at the cost of my friendships. At the cost of my family, sure. Friendships. No. Okay. But I do think like, and I don't mean to like elevate myself like in your life, but I do think we have more of that like family bond, like the sibling, the sibling connection. Like to me, I could be mean to you because it's like family vibe. Yes. So like, I wouldn't worry about hurting your feelings in the same way I would another friend. Trust is completely trust is completely different than hurting your feelings. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm striking. I would not trust you in a game of manipulation. You just call me a rat. What did we just talk about about being a rat or snake in the game of traders? I'm not faulting you for playing the game. Yeah. Okay. You're right. I'm not faulting you. But at the same time, I'm not gonna trust you either. I'm playing my game. You you're playing yours. That's fair. I don't hold it against you. You're playing the game. That's real crazy. I actually like don't think I can do this actually. I'm telling you it's like it's it's once you get in there, it's really. No, I mean, broke work. We're here. I'm talking to you virtually. And I'm getting I'm about to have to take my my top layer off because I'm sweating. I know it's really I imagine once you get to that round table. And everyone's coming for each other and you have to defend yourself. That's my bread and butter that like that's when we're like calling people out for stuff like that is so much fun. Like that's my favorite part. You know when everyone's like I would hate to be called out though. Do you ever play Mafia with your friends? Yes, I love them. Yeah, me too. Mafia is so much fun. But it's the same thing. You're getting in like my like my friends have gotten a noise complaint from their neighbor and they live in a stand alone house because I was like, no, no, you're about to bullshit. Bullshit. I saw you blink. You know, like I I have a pretty good read on people. I think you disagree. I'm not talking about the blinking Mafia. I'm talking about the one where everyone goes to sleep and then you get tapped. You know, the one that's like traders. Yeah, no, I know what you're talking about. Secret Hitler. Pretty much. Yeah. Um, I've become more of a fish bowl guy myself. But I get really competitive with that too. Like to the point where it's like, I have to come down stairs in the morning and like be like, hi. How are you doing? How are you guys? I had everyone sleep and like the night before I'm like, that was the fucking Grinch. You piece of shit. Like how are we supposed to know that? Yeah. You got to walk with your knees higher, you know, on your tiptoes and kind of move your arms like Jack Sparrow. I totally get you. I'm never in the mood to play fish bowl. But then whenever we start, I'm always really into it. I'm never in the mood to do this set up. Yeah. Once it starts and I can sit down and plug in place. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. I'm also not in the mood to lose. Like, I'm just never going to be in the mood to lose. Like, I really want my team to be locked in. If I see someone on their phone during fish bowl, I'm really, really on your neck. Yeah. I got that. No, I'm a game player. It broke me too. And that's what I love about us. We really do need to be put in something together because I think that that would be, I would love truly to do some sort of traders like show. I would do. I would also, I wouldn't pass up like that thing, that obstacle course is over the mud. Wipe out. Wipe out. You know, you know, I was offered that. Oh my gosh. Like, I would have to have an aura frame playing of you in the wipeout course for the rest of my days. It would be hung up like Harry Potter moving photos. And it would be you getting smacked by that huge hand. It's not like I don't have the length to reach that like the obstacle. I want to see you jump on those balls across the moat. I don't I don't want my, I would have to be wearing pants. That's my thing. I really don't like having my legs out. But if they were to offer me some sort of full body suit, I could do it. - Yeah, I'm looking at my notes. - Did I say everything? Oh, no, I didn't. But you go on. - Why don't you, I have some stuff that pertinent stuff that isn't personal. - Okay, but also speaking of shows that we could go on, this one we couldn't go on due to dumb. But. - Due to dumb. - Due to dumb. Pop culture jeopardy is, I watched the first episode, you know, it's the one that Colin Joost hosts. And I got so many right that I put a team together. - Yeah. - Me, Matt King, Megan. And I was like, we're full-sending this, we're. - I mean, that's Father's Unholy spirit. That's the trifecta. - Yeah, we are doing this. And then I was hanging out with Matt the other night during Stationary Club. - Yeah. - And we watched an episode after I'm telling him, I'm so good, like I'm gonna be an asset to the team, blah, blah, blah, couldn't get one. Couldn't get one, but Matt, on the other hand, you've never seen anything like it. - Well, you know, I go to trivia every time I'm in LA. - Where? - I, I don't wanna blow up the spot. 'Cause really it was like so past the last time. And people cheat, which really upsets me 'cause it's like, if we don't have honesty during trivia, like where do we, like nothing's sake, where can we have honesty? Like in this day and age, you're really shazamming a song. - Yeah. - Not right, you know what I didn't write. - I agree, hold yourself to the standard. - Yeah, and I really crushed. They did Oscar award-winning movies and they zoomed in really close on the poster, the art. And I got nine out of 11 of them. - Wow, like Dunkirk, Dunkirk was one. And like everywhere, everything all at once. And it was like zoomed in on Jamie Lee Curtis. Like I like, got it, you know? - I was able to do really well at that one episode because they had Broadway as a category. And then TikTok and also friends. - Oh. - So I was like, hit after hit after hit. And then I couldn't get anything from any of the other episodes. So I withdrew from my team. But I still hope Matt goes on one day. - I think Matt could. - Oh, he absolutely could. It was amazing to watch. - He's just, he's got a brain that's working over time in specific ways. - Did you watch SNL? - No. - Okay, well I watched for the first time in a very, very, very long time because it was Connor story hosting. - Right. - I was at Conan. - Sure. - Sure, sure, sure. - First of all, he like truly, his acting, like even in these sketches, like he brings substance to something that you don't think can have substance. Like it is, his acting is out of this world. Like I think he is going to be like the biggest star that we've seen in our lifetime. I wish more than anything. SNL could have given him a little bit more to work with. Anything, almost anything to work with. And that's what I will say about that. I know you friends in high places and shit like that. And I have nothing but respect for everything. And it's just, I wish they gave him a little bit. - Feedback is important. Feedback is important. - They gave him. There was one good one, an ice skating one that Hudson made an appearance in. - I saw that, I saw that. - And that was good, good. That was fair. - That was great, that was good. - I haven't caught up yet, but that was when I saw him. I was like, oh, this is really good. - Yeah. - Totally. And you know, I'm not, oh, they're so precious. Not expecting, oh, they're so, I can't even, like it's so, so stupid. I would love them so much. They're so great. So I'll picture Hudson with Rob this morning. I hope it all ends soon. I can't take it anymore. - Rob, who? - Ouch. - Oh, wow. - Don't show me a picture of Hudson with Rob Roush. - Hudson, I just saw is being cast in Emily Henry's new adaptation produced by JLo. - Well, that is just speculation because JLo and Emily Henry followed Hudson. - That's, that's good to me. - This happens every single time Emily Henry follows someone, she like blows up that like they're being cast and it's usually not the case. So I'm not gonna get my hopes up yet. But if we do get Hudson in an Emily Henry adaptation, I am gonna run out in an entire floor of a hospital. Just for me to have my pick of rooms for when the time comes. Appreciate it. - I think that you should probably start looking into booking your stay because I think it's gonna, I mean, it's pretty two for two at this point. I think all things are very intentional, especially from the JLo side. I think Emily's very kind soul. No one speculated that I was acting in anything when she followed me. I do want to fly. - Neither. - Oh yeah. But you're an author. - Thank you for saying that. - So that make your, I mean, you guys are peers in this space, which is so sweet. - Yeah, that is crazy. - Well, I guess watch the space, but they move pretty quickly over there. JLo doesn't really wait around for anybody. - That's the one Emily Henry book I haven't read. - Oh, you better get to it. But I get to it before Avatar drops and then you're neat. - I'm stressed. I'm so backlogged. - You're gonna be bulls deep in Avatar for a while. - I'm still not done the first question city book. It's tougher than I want it to be. And there's, at least there's only two more in there each 800 pages. Yeah, here's something else I'll say that's been affecting my life negatively. I would say, oh, negative. AI is bad. - Yes. - Sometimes I get confused. - Oh, I know. - And like, please, like I'm genuinely trying to learn. Like, truly, I am. I don't, like, some AI is much worse than others, correct? Yes, yes. So, how bad is it, and I'm being genuine. There are these videos on my free page. That I can't avoid anymore. And they, I'm sure some of you have been privy to them as well. They are fruits, but personified with, and sexualized, as well. The female fruits, I'm talking appalina. - I saw broccoli with a huge rack. - Yeah, I'm talking appalina, banana, mango. I think it's mangalina as well. I'm talking, like, massive racks, and they're all sexual videos of these fruits cheating on each other, having really dramatic affairs. Like soap opera, they're basically soap opera with personified, sexualized fruit. And they're AI-generated, bad. I acknowledge that. I can't stop, I can't stop watching them. Like, I fall in victim to like what they want, which is like the brain rot that sucks you in. How bad is it that I'm like watching them? Like, is me giving these views, which I, unfortunately, like, it's something in my brain is now wired to these videos, which is just what they want. They've got me right where they want me. - Yes. - How bad is it that I'm giving it views? Like, I understand the production of these videos is bad. That's what I get. But is watching them equally bad too? - I'm just gonna say, I'm just gonna say this, and I'm not, I'm not like coming at you at all. I just think that like demand. - Supplying demand. - Creates, yeah. Like, and watching it would read to them as like, "Oh, they want more of these." - But I think they're gonna do it regardless. Like, they're just churning these out. - It's just crazy that like, the white rhino will go extinct because I'm watching a celery stock. Cheat on an apple, you know, it's like. - Yeah. Black, it's black mirror through and through. - Yeah, there's, I mean, there's so much, but like, this is just like, this one feels so stupid, but there's the fact that there's real repercussions of these fake storylines of fruits. Like, having a fair is really something, and I feel like we're M.D. foodie boys right now talking about. - No, I actually think that there was a lot to what you just said, and it honestly like affected me. - I know I wasn't very succinct, but it is like pretty eye-opening. And I also just saw, and this is like shifting gears a little bit and we can shift back to like fruit having sex shortly. But like, I just saw that there's, you like, you like to gamble, right? - Yeah, I love Blackjack. - So there's all these apps now. Holly, market, Cal, she, all these things were like, from your phone, it started as like sports betting, and then now it's like, how quickly will will, or like who will be, who is a bad bunny gonna bring out as like a guest on the Super Bowl show? You know, like, all these things, and people create these things that could happen. and then people bet. And then sometimes it's like six options you can pick from. It's like, yeah, like this. So someone created one and it was like the likelihood of nuclear war. And it opened up to the politicians choosing the options. And so they were allowed to inside trade on the nuclear war that we're about to have even though they are the ones calling the shots. Does that make any sense in my saying that is the most black. That's more black mirror than fruit having sex contributing to the extinction of the white right now. insider trading on the likelihood of nuclear war. And I feel like people aren't understanding that like this is so funny, but like this is not like a survivable thing like like a nuclear fallout is like there's TV shows about it. Um, I almost like we're so lucky we have this podcast like I really want to just like this this podcast is genuinely akin to watching wipe out. It should be like a monkey symbol. What like brain rot. Yeah, it should just be like it like turn it off. I actually don't want to talk about nuclear war. I thought I was going to say like I can't think of like the world being wiped out right now. I know it's it's just like it would make sense with like everything. Yeah. Um, it's not good. And you can quote us on on that. Yeah, if anyone's waiting, go ahead, go ahead. If anyone's waiting on us to to let out our statement about our stance on the nuclear war, we think it's bad. I need a text Caleb about the fruit. Yeah, Caleb would know. Yeah. Um, I have something to tell you. Yeah. I know the nuclear war is on their eyes, but just don't rush the process. If February didn't March, April, May. Oh, nice. That's reminding me of this ominous fortune. I got my fortune cookie last night telling me that I need to trust everything that happens this year, which I don't like. Like why do I need to what's going to happen that I need to just trust in? Oh my gosh. Yikes, which I don't care. Yeah, I didn't care for that. That's okay. You're going to be visited by three spirits though. Would you want that? Yeah. I like don't love living alone, but I would love if it was three spirits and they could like, it's like they're not in my way and they're not using any dishes. Oh, but they have to take me to my past and my future. Yikes. I like forgot about that. I do not want to go to my future ever. I was really serious. You think in the three spirits. We're going to sit with and watch a movie. No, no, no, no, no. You're y'all have like excursions and stuff. No, we full blown have stuff to take care of. Yeah. Oh, wait. So was one of the three spirits the present day? Yeah. The ghosts of past, present, future. What did the present day want to do? Like did he die earlier today? Why is he a ghost already? I'd be like, you just got here. You don't know shit. I kind of forget the concept. I think he was just like reflecting on life and all the mistakes he's made and like what he could have done if he made different choices. Right. Right. Right. Her husband died. But it's like she's really like it's so, I'm talking about the Krispy Kreme woman. Oh, yeah, we should. It's really it's like I don't know the word that I'm looking for. But like I guess when you get to an age like she's pretty matter of fact about it. Yeah. She's just like I loved him so much and it was his time and now I'm a widow. And it's just like of course it's tragic. But it's also like not. It's just like you just sounded like Vanessa Hudgens during COVID. Yeah. I mean people are gonna die. They are at the end of their lives. And it's just like the the way that she's accepted it is almost like a little bit healing the way she's kind of looking at death. It's just like yeah. I loved him and our life was amazing together and he was sick. But now he's gone. So I've been watching her videos. She's like vlogging on like life as a widow. I'm a Mia P3a. Huh? I said mama Mia P3 and it wasn't necessarily appropriate right there. But you know what's so weird given everything that we just talked about. What? There was a blood moon last night and it said like once every 10,000 years. But I feel like there was like six this month. There's always something happening that's supposed to happen every 10,000 years. But I've already experienced it like eight times. Do you know that like when I was a kid and they were like this is the only time you'll see this commons in your lifetime. The way that I was like okay everyone up three in the morning. I woke up my whole family. So this is really something that we need to be outside paying attention to. I was I was gathering the troops. I was like texting my neighbors. Everyone up. We got to see this. It's the only time we're going to see Haley's comment. I saw Haley's comment. And I think that that one and who care? You know, it's like Haley's like what does Haley comment have to do with like my day to day? Like what's scary to me is that when things actually are once in a lifetime and you experience them. That's it. It's over. Never again in your life. I hope you experience that in a way that you remember. Like it's just weird that Haley I saw Haley's comment when I was in six six graders something. And then today I had to pay my con Edison bill. What's the correlation? I don't know. I just feel like since I woke up and saw Haley's comment like someone that saw that with my own eyes like maybe I should get some money off my electricity bill. Okay. I do want to say really quickly. This is like a good time for me to say this. I kept watching JFK the love story thing. Yeah. I'm an episode behind. So one Dr. Schlossberg has let us know that he doesn't love the show, the representation of the fan. I can't watching Jack. Yeah. I have fallen out of love. I have fallen out of love for the story because of what Jack said. That I think that played into it. One, Sarah pigeon brilliant. I'm kind of some of the acting is kind of giving hallmark movie. I actually think that like some of the characters like with the Darrell with Darrell Hannah. I was like, there's this woman like a horrible actress or what. And then I looked up like Darrell Hannah. And I was like, oh no, she's actually so good. So I think a lot of it is just these people are like really good actors. Okay. People are were weird. And I think Jack doesn't like the show. Like I wouldn't either. Fry were him, that for sure. But yeah, I mean, it goes back to what I said about like your family, like the Dahmer thing. Like those were real people that got murdered. And now Ryan Murphy is making a ton of money off the story of your brother or your father or your sibling, like whatever was murdered. No, yeah. Jack said like donate the money, which like obviously they're not going to, but that would be a great solution. Do you like the show? It's good. I know. It is good. Especially right now, you know, it's been raining just about every day in New York City. And so it's been a good kind of cavernous time for me here. It is going to be, Brooke, it was 20 degrees this morning. It is going to be 75 next week. It's because of the fricking fruit videos. It's because of the fruit videos. Thank you, fruit video. That's crazy. Yeah, no, I mean, everyone's about to get as sick as I am. Oh, I want it to be really nice when I come to New York next month. But I also want to be able to wear these gorgeous boots that are more of a like cold weather vibe. I'm really enjoying getting dressed up. The jacket piece is kind of making me lose it. But like this hybrid part where you can wear light sweater. And you can also wear like a little coat over top. Very nice. It's fleeting because soon I'll be smelling pee. I'll be sweating in my shorts. And I'll be cutting my underwear off at the US open bathroom and putting it into the trash. Yeah, treasure these times. Oh, you don't know what you got till it's gone. And they literally paved the paradise. And they put up a barking lot, which is disappointing. It's disappointing. Everyone reminded to appreciate the fact that you can breathe right now. If you can. And and then remember that trust the process. Trust everything that happens this year, this year because if February didn't march April, May, wait, if February didn't march, April, May. And we will leave you with that. And an additional reminder that if there is even one person you don't want to see something, do not post it. Thanks so much. Goodbye. Bye.
