Session 131: Belmont Cameli

(upbeat music) - Okay, what do you want to talk about? You usually lead the way. - Well, let's talk about how a year ago, it was almost a year ago now, where we first podcasted together. (laughing) - Hey, months. - Why are you nervous? - Are you nervous? - I'm not nervous. You guys just made me. - I'm not nervous. You guys just get awkward with each other. - No, we don't. - You make it awkward. - Okay, then all stopped being awkward. - Well, and I saw the invite last night. - We did, and it was incredible. - It was a major, actually amazing. - It wouldn't even know what that's about. - Well, it's cool to know things. - Yeah, okay, so tell me. (laughing) - It's about just like a couple and they have another couple over for dinner. - It just proves that love is hard. - Is air conditioning working here? I'm like this one. (laughing) - I'm like not even getting. - I don't really have anything to say. - Are you aware of that hot all day? - Obviously, yeah. - I'm gonna get right out of your closet. - That's so annoying. - I really like that. - It's like you don't need, though, no? It looks better on you than it does on me, but it's annoying. - I have to hide my pimples. - No, you absolutely cannot keep that up. - Well, has a huge pimple on his forehead. - Have y'all met him yet? (laughing) - I actually, it's like the first thing I saw when he walked in the door. - Oh, God. - I'm trapped. - What do you mean to me today? - Today, you've been mean. - I am. You've been mean to me. - It's because you haven't chickened your juice. - That's why. - Let's get into it. - Do you ask us about our relationship? - Oh, yeah, how's your relationship? - It's going okay. - It's going okay. We've honestly fought a lot. - We have got times, only about times, but-- - We fought a lot recently. - We have. - I think that jealousy has come into play recently. - It has. - Cass has found somebody who she deems her comfort figure, and that used to be me. And it's tough. - Well, how'd your sex life been? (laughing) - I don't like when you talk about this. - A little stagnant. - Okay, well. - Would you agree? - Yeah. (laughing) - Oh, let's talk about your birthday. - Yeah. - Oh, my birthday. - Perfect. - So this is a good place to air this out. Basically, what happened was, it was the final, it was basically, everyone knew the next were gonna win this game. And so I was playing it at my pre-game that I had for Cassidy's birthday. - Well, they didn't know the next were gonna win. - Yeah. - Yeah, but like, that's why it was such a good game. - Yes. - But can I intervene really quickly? - I gave you the go on having, on having the next game on during my pre-game. Like, obviously, it was unfortunate. It was the same night as my birthday. I honestly wanted to cancel my birthday. But anyway, I gave you the go. But then, what I wasn't okay with is, when we got to the venue, that we were an hour and a half away too, already. - To be fair, we heard screams from the bar. - We heard screams from down the street. - That's fine. - But the principal of it all is like, come and get me. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You didn't want to miss a moment of the game and it was at the very end and we knew you would have sat there for 10 minutes being like, wait, what? - No, I wouldn't have. - You wouldn't have left. - Cassidy, you would not have left. - There was no one at my birthday. (laughing) - Like, during the time when we went up, basically, everyone loved me. And it was Jake's idea. Because he gathered everyone. - No, I did it. You're making a team calculated. We were getting in where we got booted from the limo. - Less we forget. - Jake didn't. You did. (laughing) - And I, nobody-- - How did you end up in the bar with me? - Because we just all pulled up at the same time. - But I wanted to stay with you. So that's also why I was upset. I was literally sad to you. Do you want me to stay? Everyone's like, Cassidy. - Okay, basically, long story short, we're at the bar. I go outside to finish watching the end. There's three minutes left in this game. Literally three minutes left. Three minutes left. It's about to be history, the next-- - Well, turn your sound off, please. - It's really inappropriate. - It's like about to be history where the city is alive. Like the city is actually like blood is pumping through the city. Please listen to me. Please. - Because every time I trigger him, so are he that's so passionate about why he took everyone to go watch it. - I didn't take everyone to go watch it. The only person I took was Julia. - He's about to burst. - The only person I took was Julia. And I said, come on, we're from New York. We have to experience this. - And I was already there. - Will was already there. We bring out, I was like, oh my God, what? And then I was like, put me on your shoulders. And then I got on Will's shoulders and I-- - Like, I just-- - And then we walked back into Cassidy's word. They dun, dun, dun, dun. - I'm not a ghost, it wasn't a ghost. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - You know exactly what you were walking into. - Jake and I are in the corner like this. - Will say, will, let me talk to her. - Let me talk to her. - She had bodyguards around her. - I said, please, I need a moment. - I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I'm so sorry. I'm paid, rubbing your back, look at me like this. - And kept giving you the sting face. Like, literally like you did something. - No, but she loved that she had your back. - She did. - She was the only one who did. I left my birthday saying, pay it as the only loyal friends. Like, everything you did is fine. It's just like-- - No, it was robbed. - It was five minutes. - Jake, know what-- I was sitting at the table alone on my birthday. - It was at the last 20 minutes. - And I'm texting the group chat saying, where-- - It is everywhere. - It is everywhere. - And I got someone coming up to me being like, babe, where is everyone? Like, do you even have friends? - Like, we're an hour and a half late for my birthday. - Already. - Everyone. - And I get hit with the worst question on your birthday. Basically, I think-- I did anyone care to show up for your birthday. And I'm looking around, like, scratching my head, like, fuck. Like, someone get me a vodka soda right now. Like, I was ripping shots and we-- And we wonder why I don't remember one single thing on my birthday. Because you tore my-- - I did not tore my-- - 20 minutes in the day. - And I said I was sorry. I said, like, look, it was a spur of the moment decision. But once I was there, you're there. It was like a crowd. It was like a giant, really fun birthday. - No, it was so fun. - And I stayed with you till the very end. - So did I. - No. - Yes, I did. - You did. - You guys, it was 4am. - You're right. - But we did the makeup. - Well, Will and I ended up together. Like, that's always-- - Oh, it's the case. I mean, they made out. They won't let me put the clip on the screen. - No, it was too real. - I still haven't watched the clip. - I haven't either. - I have to show you guys. - Okay, honestly. - Okay. - Show us five seconds. - Five seconds. - Yeah, I'm nervous. - We are. I don't know if I want to see y'all in all honesty. - I don't know. - Wait, wait. - Wait, wait. - Tonight on "The Rapus," we have Bauman Kameli. From off campus. Do you guys watch off campus? - Wait. - They're the best show I've ever seen in my life. - Thank you, Will. Casp for the intro. - Love you. - Enjoy the episode. Love you, Puzzies. - Hi. - Hi. - We have Bauman Kameli on "The Rapus" today. - Hi, Jake. - Hi. - Hi. - Oh, yeah. - I'm good. How are you? - I'm so good. - What are you in town for? - I'm in town, briefly, for "Obsessed Fest," which we concluded yesterday with Amazon. And then various other meetings and fun things. Are you having fun? - Yeah, I am. The whole cast is here. We had a really good time the last couple days. And we got to meet a lot of the actors on some of the other Amazon romance shows coming out too. And they're all very sweet. We had a good time. - Anyone in particular that you were like, "Oh, gee." - Yeah, well, Matt Cornett's a buddy of mine. He just had every year after come out. And they just announced the second season for his show. Some very happy for him and that crew. - Uh-huh. - Yeah, everybody was really pleasant. - Okay. - What's up with you? - I don't know. I just got off a flight. My flight got delayed. - I know. - I was so miserable about it. But like, you know what? Like, trust the higher power. Because I'm so happy that I flew this morning as opposed to last night. - It's good. Were you waiting in an airport for this flight? Or you got to hang out? - No, and by the way, I clocked. I knew I was going to be waiting in the airport. Because there was two flights. There was a jet blue flight and there was a Delta flight. The Delta flight was taking off at 7 a.m. And the jet blue flight was taking off at 11. It kept moving and it was like 8, 10, 11. And I said, if I go to the airport right now, I will be here overnight. - Yeah. - And so I took Delta. - You have good foresight. - I do have good foresight. - Well done. - How's season two going? - We're almost finished with the first two episodes of season two. We've read the first half of the episode. So we've read four. It's really good. - How different is it from the books? - Well, it's interesting because like, you know, in a way, the featured couple is similar to the books. So, you know, like, there's a different featured couple each season. - Oh, yes, which is cool. But the show is, sometimes in a malgommation, you'll have scenes from different books in one season. And we did that kind of last year too. There were some scenes from different books that made it into season one. Season two will probably be the same way. - Okay. - So, yeah, it's very like the books, but it's dissimilar in some ways too. - Okay. - But yeah, I mean, it's just like getting back there and doing table reads is just a really nice reminder that our show is in the right hands. Because it's, every time we get one of these scripts, I mean, they're so well written. And like, our show really has a visual language now. And it's been fun to see that kind of what we established in season one get translated into like a really, like, firm identity for season two. So it's like, when we're reading these scripts, we're like, oh man, like, this is off campus. It's really cool. - Oh, so yeah, you feel more in it. - Yeah. - More comfortable. - Yes. - More established. - Yeah, and it's like the ensemble is really alive in this upcoming season. Everybody has stuff going on all together, which is really fun. Have you read the books? - I've read some of the books. I've read my book. - Do you read in general? - Not much. - Neither do I. (laughing) - I hate reading. - I enjoy reading. It's just, it's kind of like anything, you know. It's like, the hardest part is just sitting down with a book. - I can't do that. - I don't get there. - When's the last book you read that wasn't off campus? - I read earlier this year, it took a little vacation in Mexico and I read Kurt Vonnegut book, "Cats Cradle," which was really good. - So you do read? - No, no, this is just, this is actually just keeping it for me. - I could have named one author if you had a gun to my head, besides who's the one with all the Netflix shows? No, what's his name? Harley Cobain. - Oh, see, I don't know who that is. - Yeah, he's like this Stephen King of England. - Incredible. - Yeah, but he writes "Thriller" instead of-- - King, another novel. - Do you think you would recognize him if you saw him in the street? - I would. - I think so. - I would. - Yeah. - And he would probably have this incredible bravado. - When you see people like that, do you say hi to folks? - I did once. - Okay, who was it? - It was Ryan Beatty. - Who? - He is a singer-songwriter. - Yeah. - He's amazing. - Cool. - Amazing, and I couldn't help myself. And I had to say like, I just die for you. - That's sweet. Have you ever done that? - I said next to Orlando Bloom once. - Where? (laughs) It was like, I don't know what to say. (laughs) Peter Jackson did like a Beatles documentary years ago. - I need to start watching these fucking Beatles documentaries. - It's good. It's colorized. It's like old original footage that was black and white. It's been like re-edited and colorized and stuff. It was a good documentary. But there was like a premiere for it at the-- Who's the fellow that did the Muppets? And there's that studio on La Brea. - Jim Henson? - Jim Henson Studios. Yeah, this was years ago. And I, Beck was performing, doing covers of Beatles songs. And then I looked over and I was saying next to Orlando Bloom. And I was like, that's cool. - Right. And he was very handsome. - He is so handsome. - Yeah. - The most handsome. - I didn't say hi though. - Yeah, well that makes sense. 'Cause it's like, what do you say? - I think I was wearing like purple corduroyes at the time or something. - Okay. - So I wasn't introducing myself. - You don't like purple corduroyes? - Not as much anymore. - Right. - I used to have corduroyes in like every color. - Really? - Yeah. - I've had errors. I've like, okay, tell me about your errors. - Okay, so, well, I mean, it started out when I was in high school. I wore, I did bow tie Tuesdays with one of my teachers. And we really thought it was gonna catch on, man. And we were like, everyone was, you got, come on, do we wear bow ties Tuesday? Like dress up a little bit, school. - Oh, okay. - Actually, I guess this was junior high. And we did for a couple of years. - So still middle school? - Middle school. But you know what, in middle school wasn't a real era. I remember being in my counselor's office, where I found myself quite a bit in middle school. And I had been trying a fedora on ironically as an outfit choice to school. At like six, 30 in the morning, you know, we'd all be there like, and I would have a fedora on already. - They're creative. - I was trying stuff. I've always tried stuff. And I remember, I'll never forget saying to Mrs. Kusak, my counselor. I just want to be the guy who can wear a fedora and like, be left alone about it. - Okay, so you just didn't want people to like give you shit about the fedora, but you knew that they would get shit about the fedora. - Yeah, yeah, but I wanted to, I guess own it in a way where nobody could say shit to me about it. But I wasn't bought in enough, I guess. - Well, clearly, 'cause you had to go to the guy's counselor's office to talk about the fedora. But did you eventually like have enough faith in the fedora? - No, I think I retired the fedora. - And then you did bow ties Tuesdays. - And I did bow ties Tuesdays and I was trying a lot of bomber jackets back then. - You know what, I've noticed about myself, a bomber jacket really does not look good on me. - It's, the bomber jacket's universal. Everybody tries a bomber jacket once, you know? - You, I've seen you in bomber jackets. You look good in bomber jackets 'cause you're tall. - Thanks for saying so. - Of course, when I wear a bomber jacket, it makes me, it makes me look fat. - No, why? - Yes, no, it doesn't. - Yes, it does. (laughing) That and leather jackets, I can't wear leather jackets. - Leather jackets are honestly tough. They're all different shapes and some of them are so, like, I am this shape. You know what I mean? - You like boxy? - Yes, boxy and it's like really sticking to it. - Is it true you watch reality television? - Ultimately, yes, but not a lot of it. - What do you watch? - Summer house has been my show. - Just because of the whole to-do. - Actually, yeah, no, I started watching season 10 and then the to-do happened. - That's God. - That's literally God. - You said it, I came in at a good time, I guess. But it was interesting because I got into summer house and like, they'd been doing it for a decade. - Right. - And so I got like Kyle and Amanda, like, 10 years into their relationship. And I was like, what is up with these two? - I only watch the reunion yet. - Okay, really? - Yeah. - What's that about? - I just never got into summer house. I'm a housewife's guy. - Okay, okay. - And some housewives. - Whatcha seeing? - I think I've seen some Salt Lake City, which is a popular one, right? - My favorite. - That's a lot of favorites. I think my sister's favorite. - My favorite. - Okay, I've seen some of that and that's not as palatable for me. - Oh wait, you have siblings? - Yes. - How many siblings? - I have two siblings, I'm the middle child. - Wow, what do they think about everything that's happened? - I think they think it's good and cool. - We're very close and I miss them a lot actually. They think it's just kind of crazy. I mean, so I have an older brother, any younger sister. And yesterday I sent a screenshot of my lock screen, which was a notification from both the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Black Hawks who had been messaging me on Instagram and I sent it to Patrick and I was like, "This is my life now." And he was like, "I don't even, don't even tell me that." - Oh, it is? It did happen quite fast. - Yeah, it really did. - Were you expecting that at all? - No, no, no, no. I mean, and I think we really believed in the show. We knew we were making something special, but the way that it's had this kind of cultural moment, I think has surprised all of us. - Yeah, it's amazing. - Yeah, but it's been cool, you know, like I've gotten closer with my favorite sports teams now and like I'll go get to watch Bears Games, hopefully from like the sideline this fall. And, you know, like I've done some stuff with like the Chicago Black Hawks, like a big sports fan in Chicago. - Oh, that's so fun. - Yeah, I love them. I got caught a lot of games this winter. And now, you know, I'm building a bit of a relationship with them, which is really cool. I'm super excited. - Can you like throw the first puck? - Yeah, it's, well, through the first pitch for the Chicago White Sacks. - I saw that. - Which was really, really fun. And the, I've seen that. - That's okay. - I'm sorry, I broke it out. (laughing) - I broke it out. - I mean, it was like, it wasn't a huge thing. - I was gonna eat it in the end. - You didn't lie. - I'm so sorry. - It's okay, I mean, I appreciate your honesty. - So you threw the first pitch for the White Sacks? - Yeah. - They're great, by the way. I remember when I was a kid and my dad is a big Yankees fan. - Okay. - It would always be the White Sacks and the Yankees would always be head and head. - Yes. - Yeah, back then they were. The White Sacks have been historically terrible. For the previous three years, the White Sacks actually recently, two years ago, set a record for the most losses in a season. In all of baseball history, and as you know, baseball has been around for a long time. - Maybe, that's what I remember. Maybe I remember them being bad. - Yes, they were bad, but they're having a really good season right now. - Oh, good for them. - Yes, I'm very happy. - 'Cause you? - Well, after I threw the first pitch out, they've been on a tear. - You brought the good energy. - Yeah, and we have the Pope on our side too. The Pope is a Chicago White Sacks fan. The Pope's from Chicago. What? - The Pope. - The Pope isn't from, where's the Pope? - Well, the Pope. - Where does the Pope reside? - Currently in the Vatican. - In Italy. - In Italy. So he's not Italian. - Actually, I assume he's Italian because he's from Chicago, but he's, he looks like the Pope, you know, when you picture the Pope, that's it. - No, no, no, no, no, and I've seen the film. - Conclave, or? - Conclave. - Yes. - Conclave, so I've seen the film. So I remember the black smoke and all that. - But he's the first American Pope, I believe. He's friend, he's from Chicago. - That's what, I think that's what jarred me so much. - Yes, it is a little, it's, that's a new thing. - So what's his vibe all about? - Mostly White Sacks baseball, as far as I can tell. - Okay. - You know what, I know the Vatican because they went there in Twilight. - Yes, they did. I watched that for the first time this year. - What? Yeah, I know. - You had just watched Twilight for the first time? - I've only seen the first two, but I watched them, I believe, back to back. - But God, the last one's the best one. - I know, I really need to get through this year. - So you don't know what happens in the last one? How many are at three or four? - Five. - Oh, and the fifth is the best one? - You who don't even understand. I saw that in theaters. So what you're about to see. - Holy shit. - Has anyone out there seen the fifth? So this, there is a part in the fifth. It's just, I'm just gonna say there's a part. - Okay. - On my full body chose, like remembering being in the theater. I was 13 years old and the entire theater just going, holy shit. You know what, honestly, I don't think I know what this moment is. - You don't, 'cause you can't know, or else the whole movie's ruined. - I don't know what it is. I do know that there's a pregnancy coming up. - Oh yeah, the AI baby. - Yes, that's, this is what I'm really looking for. - First CGI, before AI, there was CGI. - That's right. - And it was a CGI, it's a CGI baby. And by the way, you can tell that's a CGI. The baby is like literally floating. floating in her arms. - And why do you think they couldn't use a real baby for that? - It was a hot topic at the time. It wasn't when I was tapped into. - Okay. - But it was very confusing. - Is it the baby like half vampire or half? - Yes, the baby is half vampire, but it doesn't make sense. And by the way, when she gives birth, - This is what I've heard about. - 'Cause just like imagining giving birth to a monster. - Right, right. - Like, you know what I mean? 'Cause that's what vampires are at the end of the day, they're monsters. - Holy shit, that's a real slant against vampires. - Question. - Yes. - Was off campus, did it start production? Was it in production prior to heated rivalry? - How did you get there from vampires? - Because, and I'll tell you why, because the hockey obsession we have as a culture right now was similar to the vampire obsession we had back then. - Okay, that's a good parallel. - So it went vampires, young teen dystopian. So you had like, divergent, hunger games, now you have hockey. - Right. - So, that's cool. - When did off campus start to get into production? - We started production in May of last summer, but we, Louisa, our creator and showrunner, started developing it, I think two years before that. - Oh wow, so, before heated rivalry. - We had been developing, and I don't know, I don't exactly recall when they shot. It might have been, - Last summer. - Around the same time that we were shooting as well. - Yeah, wow. Have you guys spoken any of them? - Yeah, Hudson and I have correspondence. Well, we both use Ika Flores, who's our groomer, and she's our hair in face. - Well, you know, we both use the same stylist. - Yes, we do. - Sydney. - Hi Sydney. - Sydney, hi Sydney. - I've been with Sydney since day one, and that's kind of-- - Wait, since for how long? - Well, way after the Fedora, but like, since I got my first job where I needed a stylist when I did save by the bell in 2020, I think we started working together. - What? Oh wait, so you've known Sydney longer than me? - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - Oh. - Oh yeah. - I thought this was a recent thing. - No, no, Sydney's been dressing me since, yeah, the very beginning. - She's the best. - She is the best. Well, Belmont, what are you therapist about today? - Geez, you know? I'm hungry, and I'm tired Jake. - Oh, okay, well, so we can get you food if you want. (laughing) - Can't you see us? - Honestly, beyond that, I'm not really too therapist about anything. - Oh, well, let me tell you about mine. - Please. I am so addicted to weed, and I know it's a problem. - Are you? - Yes. - Oh my god, let's talk about that. I used to be addicted to weed. - What happened? How did you stop? I can't stop it to all I think about. I wake up, I'm like, I wanna smoke right now. And by the way, I took a break for nine months. I took a break for nine months, and then all of a sudden, Skye was like, the Skye was like, do you wanna smoke? I was like, yeah, I do, actually. I was nine months sober at the time, and I did it, and I've been on the wagon ever since, and like, eight. - What is it like when you're high? - Okay, so some may say I'm the best tie in America. - Oh, okay. - Some may say, Louise will say, that's not true. Louise will say I'm the worst, but that's not true, she's wrong. I am the best tie in America, it gets to a point though, after the first 10 minutes, if you're, if we get high, well you don't smoke anymore, if we go higher together, the first 10 minutes are bliss. - For you or for everybody? - For everyone. - Okay. - It is like a show for the ages that I'll put on. Like, it is like, everything lands. If the joke doesn't land, I acknowledge that it doesn't land, and then everyone's like, "Ah, it's so good." Then the next, like, two hours are really bad. - Also for everybody? - Yeah. - Okay, so you've, see you've 10 good minutes. - Yes. - And then you have two hours of it not being good until you begin. - It's like, my want to like crawl out of my body and my skin, this is why I stop. - You know what I mean? - I couldn't do it anymore. As your frontal lobe fully developed, it is. - Yes, it is. - It is. - And congratulations, by the way. - Thank you so much, and it's so funny you say that because the other day it fully developed. - Did you hear it click into place? - I just was walking and I was like, "Oh." - It's kind of like that. - And I was like, "Oh, and I called Louise." And I was like, "Oh my God." I just realized something, "Oh my God." - Yeah. - And she was like, "No, yeah." - It is like that. - But my Saturn is returning. And I know that because my body is starting to hurt. - Your Saturn is returning? - How old are you? - 28 years old. - Oh, yours is in the midst of it. - Well, my frontal lobe is. - No, but your Saturn is returning. - Does that have to do, that's not the brain also. - Oh no, but so basically. - Do we all have a Saturn? - Louise, please. - Saturn is in the same place every 28 to 30 years is where it was when you were first born. So it's like. Every time I explain it, I'm like, "Am I explaining it correctly?" - So basically, when you turn 27, everything starts to change. It's a KC Muscat song. Everything starts to change. And you get presented with a bunch of decisions and they're hard decisions and life's just kind of sucks dick for three years. But in your case, it's going great. - No, that happened to me a little earlier. - Okay, for some people who happens earlier for me, I don't know, my wrist hurts, my back hurts, like I'm like feeling it in my body. Like I think my Saturn is coming. - Okay, and so that's when it comes back around at the same place that it once was. - When you were born, right? - Basically just like realigning your life being like, "What do you need?" - What's happened to your wrist? - I have De Quervance tendonitis. - Okay. - It's basically when the tendon is really inflamed. And it's like right now, it's like fine. But like a week ago, if I went like this, this right here, like that, the tendon, I think that's what that is, pops over the muscle. - Oh, that sounds painful. - It feels like someone's lighting a match to your tendon as it's going over the muscle. - I'm sorry. - Oh no, it's okay. I just made it my whole personality felt like a month, but it's fine. - Because is this affecting your routine? - Yeah. - Jake, you've been in the gym, like nobody's business, brother. - Yeah. How do you know that? - Jake, I follow you on Instagram, you dingus. - I know. - I have been in the gym, okay? - Yeah, you have. - How long has your fitness journey been going on? - Three years. - Right? - And it's very humbling to see before and after. So I was like, you know. - Yeah. - That's what it's all about. - I was. - Progress. - I was in the gym. And I was doing pull ups. - Yeah. - My wrist hurt one morning and I knew I should have just, like, let it go, but I kept doing them. - Okay. - And then I got like a massage on the wrist, which made it kind of worse. And then the good old wrist massage. - And then I started traveling. And then once I started traveling, it was game over. I got a cortisone shot, traveled the next day. So the shot didn't do shit. Because like also, well, I went to the first doctor and the first doctor was like, here's your cortisone shot and here's steroids. And then I went to his second doctor and he was like, he gave you a shot and like the most random place of your arms. But he was really hot the first one. - Right. - So I wasn't complaining. - Thank you so much for having us. - But now the cortisone shot is really working. So I'm just start working out again tomorrow. - Great. - But I've been smoking a lot, so I'm really out of breath. And so it's going to be hard to get back in there, but I'm going to go back in. - Okay, let's go back real quick and I'll tell you how I stopped full stop. - Yes. - Full stop. - Please, smoking weed. - Tell me what happened. - So I don't know what happened because I had been smoking weed a lot. Like pretty much daily for a very long time since like, you know, high school. And then at some point, I guess this was when I was 23-set. - No, I don't know. It was later than that. It was around 24, 25 when that's when I stopped it. - When every time. And this was like nightly, you know, 'cause it's routine. I would like, I would just freak out. I would like feel my bones in my body and like be like, you know, I would have the classic paranoia. It was like every single time. And it was kind of like you where the first, you know, 10 minutes was like, oh, we very excited. - Yeah, and then the rest was like really kind of unbearable. So I couldn't do it anymore. On New Year's Eve, I smoked all the weed in the house, all together, got really scared, really reminded myself why I'm not doing this anymore. And then for like a week, it was tough. Like at the end of the day, you know, when I'd done all my stuff, like not to spark up a joint. - All I want to do is smoke. - But it only took a week, maybe 10 days. - I know, I know. - And you've done it before. - I think I'm gonna stop when I go to Paris. - Does getting high affect your dreams? - I don't dream. - Okay, see, this is it. When I was smoking weed, I never dreamed. And when I, like in your nine months, did you start dreaming more? - Yeah, and I have the worst fucking dreams. I have dreams that my teeth are falling out. I have dreams that my bones are being pulled from me. Pretty sure Louise was pulling my bones once. - Pulling your bones. - Yes, I think you were. - That's terrible. - Yes, pulling them apart. - Do you have any good dreams? - What? - Never. - I never have a good dream. (upbeat music) - Louise, do you hear that? Do you hear that? - I hear it, I hear it. - It's the World Cup.

You guys know that I'm very, very open about my OCD experience. On here, OCD can look like a million different things. It can look like your brain making up random rules in order to get good luck or bad luck. That's wishful. Thank you, OCD. Or that's magical. Thank you, OCD. You could have to like, blur it out things that you think, which is confession OCD. And OCD, if you don't know, is for obsessive compulsive disorder, it basically is just really ruminating on the same thought over and over and over and over again, and it can manifest in so many different ways. I have struggled with it since I was seven years old. I remember it literally. I used to have to touch things evenly. It was horrible. It's really horrible. A lot of people don't talk about it, but OCD does. OCD is the world's leading treatment provider for OCD. All of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy, exposure and response prevention, something I've actually recently been doing. It's also proven to be the most effective treatment for OCD. For me, I find it to be effective because when you force, when you expose your mind and yourself to these intrusive thoughts and rituals and you sit in the discomfort, it really tells your body that you're still like going to be breathing, at least for me, and that's how I view it, and like you expose yourself to what you're scared of. And OCD, for me, is really based in fear. Therapy with OCD is 100% virtual, uncovered by insurance for over 138 million Americans. It also includes support in between sessions, so you never have to face OCD alone. I'm really grateful that I'm able to sit here and talk about it with so many people because when I was a kid, so many people didn't talk about it. I had no idea what I had, I had no idea what it was, and it was really, really scary to be honest. So I'm so grateful that something like no CD exists to help people around the country struggling with OCD because so many people struggle in silence, and it's really horrible. Cut the struggle in silence. My OCD is making me, oh my God! You guys! That's OCD, it literally was just like cut the struggle in silence. Keep that in. That's exposure therapy. To learn more about starting OCD therapy with no CD, go to learn.noCD.com/jake and book a free call with their team. It's noCD.com/jake. Thank you again for sponsoring tonight's episode. I really love working with you guys and bringing more attention to something very important to me. What do you watch on TV right now? I don't really watch a lot of TV. I really don't. When I'm at home, I like, I don't ever have the TV on. You got to turn it on. What do I watch? Widows Bay. Oh, I heard this was good. It's fucking fantastic. Yeah. Fantastic. Hell yeah. It's a best show on television. Whoa! Okay. It's funny, it's scary. It's with Matthew Reese. Yep. Who's just to die for? Yeah. Have you ever seen Homeland? Nope. There's a couple shows that I really like but they only come out every so often. Okay, what? The severances. If you love severance, then you need to watch Widows Bay. Yeah. It's like the same type of spooky, funny vibe. Okay, great. It's both on Apple TV Plus. Yeah, yeah. What type of show do you like? Cuz I'll give you a show to watch right now. I like a really hard comedy, jokes per minute, 30 minute, episodic comedy. Oh. You should watch Hacks. I haven't seen Hacks. Yeah. Hacks is like one of the funniest shows on television. Okay. Watch Hacks. Have you seen Girls? I've seen some of Girls. I think we have to watch the whole thing. Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah. I think that's about it for me. Yeah. And then I like a big, heavy drama. Like drama and what sense? Like supernatural? No. Well, I guess like, like an Adam McKay, like kind of like like severance being a good example. Or like madman or like like an intellectual drama. You know, like an intellectual drama. Really? Yeah. I think you should. It's great. Apparently it's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People love it. Yeah. I just never got it. Did you try it? Did you try it? I didn't try it. I tried it. I said, okay. My parents were like, well, you have to go to bad. We need to watch madman. And I was like, what are you waiting? Like what's going on? That's so. Because every episode I would watch was so like melancholy and like solemn. I'm like, where's the, there's nothing exciting happening. Have you seen like, have you seen Breaking Bad? Of course. Yeah. And did you see better call Saul? No. And I heard it's better. It's, it's just as good. If not better. What do you mean? It's fucking incredible. Why? Tell me why. Well, so Bob Odin Kirk. I mean, you love him in that role. That's in Breaking Bad. Yes. He went to my high school, by the way. Okay, he's Saul. He's Saul. All day, every day, baby. Okay. And Racy Horn is phenomenal in it. And I mean, all the performances are great. But it tells the story of Saul kind of backwards. It starts way before you meet him in Breaking Bad. And so like his name isn't Saul Goodman when you meet him. What? No, no, no, no, no, no. He's fake name. Yeah, he's, he's got a lot going on. And before he gets to the point where you meet him in Breaking Bad. And so it's all of that. And it's phenomenally, I mean, it's Vince Gilligan too. It's so well written. So what type of music do you listen to? All kinds of music. Tell me. Are you Spotify or Apple Music? Oh, Spotify. Right? Yeah. I never understood Apple Music. Well, I got Spotify like when there was like a student discount back in the day. I bought it in 2013. Yeah, probably right around then. Yeah. I'm a Spotify guy. I listen to everything. I listen to all sorts of stuff all the time. What are you listening to right now? I'm listening to a new artist that I just can't get enough of. Their name is Blue Brigada. Okay. Two fellows from New Zealand that are now out of New York. And they just make some like really fucking solid alternative rock jams. Like melodic? Some stuff. Yeah, some stuff. But it's like, it's just like good like, it's just solid alt rock. How else would you consider alt rock? I don't know. Like the Empire weekend wouldn't be considered all raw. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I would like them. I love, do you like the Empire weekend? I love the Empire. One of the best days of live music I've ever seen. Oh, so jealous. I'm so jealous. I'm so jealous. Just hear me out. I'm here. You're out. It was at Los Angeles in Chicago. Of course it was. And it was a full day. We spent the whole day at the stage. Didn't leave to pee or anything. And the first act up was the Empire weekend. And then two door cinema club. And then Phoenix had lined all on the same stage. And by the end of the day we were like right up front for Phoenix. And it was one of the greatest concert experiences I've ever had. Are you fans of the other those other two bands too? Yes, what is two doors into my club saying that I just love. I can't tell it's what you know. Yes. Love that song. I love that song. How was it live? It was amazing. I mean, all of it was great. But Vampire weekend. Did they, they do it for me every time. Me too. Do you, what's your favorite album? I should know the names Cape Cod Quasas. Is that the name of the song? Yeah, Cape Cod Quanza. That's the author first or second. Yeah. There are, I think it's their third album. Modern vampires of the city or whatever. Yeah. Changed my life. Yeah, they're incredible. Changed my life. That's, you know, songstep. Yeah, of course. I know. They're holding a good thing. I don't recall. This would have been like over 10 years ago. Oh, so maybe no. Yeah. But step is one of my favorite songs of all time. I actually just kind of had. It's a good, it's great song. Yeah. I just had a similar out of body experience at a concert. I saw the strokes. Nice. Um, I've seen the strokes as well. They're amazing. Also, I'll please them. Um, and they're fantastic. They have new stuff out, I think. They do. And it's really good. Yeah. So fucking good. Does Spotify. Are there a couple songs on Spotify that Spotify just like is like. This is your favorite song and I'm going to put it on every single playlist that you make. Every time you hit go to radio, it's like, here's this song again. Here's this song again. Does that happen to you? No, because I'm a, I'm a cure. Okay. So I'll always cue. But if it, if it go, and if it goes to like. No, and I haven't honestly. Are you talking about the stuff that they'll like always auto play? Yes, just like yours. Like one of mine is the adults are talking. Best. Which I love. I love. But honestly, like Spotify plays it for me every single day. Well, because they know you. They. But it's almost like, don't. But instead of knowing me so well, try to get to know me, you know? Like, ask me some questions. Right, ask questions. Well, I think their version of asking questions is the songs you add to the playlist in general. And I'm a bad playlist maker. I only have one playlist every year. And it's the year that I am. So, right now I'm 26. So my playlist is called 26. Yeah. I'll send it to you after this. I can't wait to listen to like seven. And it's just all of the. It's like my musical die rate. So I've done it since I was 18. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Please send it to me. I will. But the 18 one, it went from 18 to 22 because I was at college. So I just called it USA. Word. And I remember exactly where I was for each most, most of like 20%. They end up being huge playlists. Or you're pretty particular about what you keep on there. The USA one is like. At least over a thousand songs holy fuck because it was over four years. Yeah, okay, okay, but then I had twenty three twenty four twenty five and twenty six What years went when we were in college? I was in college from 18 to 22. Oh, oh, what year? Oh, so you went after high school, right? Yeah Until you graduated I was in college from I was in college from 2018 to 22 right, which by the way I got confused Because I was 18 in 2018 you were born in the year 2000. I was born in 1999. Oh at the very at tail end Yeah, and when that's have sucked if the world did end and you were just like a couple weeks old No, it would have been amazing because I wouldn't have known what was happening. Oh true You wouldn't have felt anything. I would have been like oh, I just died You'd still be wailing and then yeah, I would have just died. Are you scared of death? Honestly, I I've been scared of death more in a good way. I think so I've been thinking about it kind of a lot in the last I don't know chapter really. Yeah, yeah, it's come back. I grew up really Catholic. So that was always I was super fearful of hell Are you still Catholic? I don't I'm not practicing. Okay, you're not practicing, but like do you like believe in God? Oh? Yeah, I believe in a creator. Yeah, but I'm not I don't I don't I feel as well. Yeah But I never like practiced anything. I'm just like I know there's some shit up there. Yeah, no, you know what I mean? There's gotta be and there has to be too much shit happened for us right here for and that's why yeah, why why are you scared of death? Well, just the permanence I think Yeah, well the presumed permanence it is permanent. We don't know. You know, it could be I do believe in reincarnation I listen I would love I don't I don't know but hell yeah I want to be an animal. I don't you know, it's fun to think about what animal would you be though? I Wouldn't I want I want you could have already been I want to be reincarnated as a supermodel girl Human I want to be reincarnated as a supermodel really badly and I want to like literally like be like oh my god You are like in my new life like Just like you were so pretty like do you want to be a model and I'd be like oh my god Sure, and then you know, everything just happens after that. You want to be reincarnated to an existing living person? Did you go to college? Very briefly I went for one year where University of Illinois right? Yeah, a virgin or a champagne. I In some ways yes, and in some ways no got it. Yeah, why'd you drop out? I did not want to go to college. I got that. I was a business student. I was like a finance major And I wanted to be a filmmaker, so I got the fuck out of there and you just took off a move tell I Almost, you know, I like moved to this city.

It was different for I think all of us kind of had a different experience doing it I I didn't audition as Garrett until the very last day of auditions I I had met with our showrunners Louisa and Gina. We zoomed and they kind of pitched me the season one arc and the character We had questions for them about their project and we talked about it And so then they did a chemistry read where there were 28 actors. They cast all six or seven leads in the same day So a lot of people there were going out for a couple characters You know each role had like four or five actors that were there going out for it was crazy But that was my first part of the audition and it was the last part of the process So I was there until the bitter end I had to stay and like do stuff by myself so they could have tape of me Because I hadn't submitted anything yet. It was like the Hunger Games It was just like the Hunger Games and when somebody was sent home there was a big gong. Yeah, yeah It was it was a crazy day.

It rains all the rest of the year except for the summer months when we shoot Which is you know, that's nice and the house the food It's great uh Vancouver's a real melting pot of cultures. There's people from all over Vancouver in the summer actually the more that I think about it now Yeah, I bet you have I have and we had a phenomenal phenomenal meal. Yeah, at some was it sushi? Was it sushi? That was one of the best meals of my entire life. Fuck yeah, there's great sushi love Vancouver. The shopping is great too I bought a great pair of swim trunks there. Holy shit. Yeah I wear it every day. I look good on me even if I'm bad. What's the inseam on those puppies? Mmm, they go to here. Oh, it's like seven. Yeah, I wear seven and everyone's like usually wear shorter like a long swim trunk I do. I'm really insecure about my thighs. Okay Get a thigh tattoo Yes, right? I wanted to get one so bad and everyone was like you can't do that. Do you have a thigh tattoo? I do have a thigh tattoo What is it? It's um, do you know the band the national at all? Yes! One of my favorite bands. There's a song called "Graceless" by them Hey, and the bridge is a lyric that says there's a science to walking through windows without you. It's my favorite song It's kind of hard to explain but this this is an image of like what those look It's like a visual representation of those lyrics. It's here. You don't have to take my pants off to show you but it's cool Right, yeah, okay. I think I'm gonna get a thigh tattoo. You really should. I'm gonna do it. I mean thigh tats a great way to start Inching back those I'm gonna do it and feel good about it. I'm gonna get a thigh tattoo. Hell yeah. Do you have other tattoos? No, I've never gone a tattoo Fies a good place to start. What should I get? Um, well, I mean it's crazy. You don't have an octopus tattoo Yeah, what is that? It just feels like too like too much. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I get I see the issue with the tat For me is that I'm inherently trying to be cool So I if I'm getting a tattoo it really needs to rain true to who I am. Okay. Okay. I get really needs to rain true to who I am I can't just be like a number or like Like my favorite stroke song because then you know like it's like you're just trying to be cool But that would sounds like it would ring true to who you are. I guess Maybe maybe I'll get the street I grew up on the one eighty first. Oh you get the one address. I'll just get one eight one Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way to start But like that like the ones would look weird on a thigh now No Okay, one eight one. Yeah, it's kind of cool symmetrical. Okay. Yeah, it was good You could either do that on your thigh or on an arc kind of like Like you know see when people get like numbers on an arc kind of like a long sternum That would make it so fucking tough Okay, I'm gonna get a thigh tie. You should. Sorry. You should I'm gonna get a thigh cut. Okay, let's go right after this. Okay, I would No, same. I don't have shit going on. Should we go get that tats? I have a good artist Shed I I'm not even kidding. Yeah, I have an open thigh You know what I'm saying? Okay, let's go. Let's go get thigh tats. Okay My mom is going to kill me Okay, but if we go get thigh tats, we also have to do it short swim trunks. Yes. Okay, I let's get thigh tats. All right. I'll look into it We could also just I mean we could just go somewhere. No No, no, I want to get artists. We want good stuff. Yeah, yeah. My memory is non-existent at this point. Same. I cannot for the life of me remember anything about anything. I will even reconnect with old town friends and completely forget about them, their names, etc. All I remember is that this is a person I've met and they proceed to tell me that we used to hang out all the time. I'm actually getting scared what is wrong with me. Well, a recent study just came out that dementia can start in your 30s. So I would definitely check there first. Yeah, and look out for, I guess, aluminum. What? Right? What? Wait, what? Don't they say that aluminum in anti-perspirance and deodorant and stuff will give you Alzheimer's? What? I can't. Everything gives you Alzheimer's. Benadrol gives you Alzheimer's. Does it? A deodorant gives you Alzheimer's. I know. Weed gives you Alzheimer's. I think you're just meant to read or write. Yes, you have to do pause your brain. Oh, it must be the phone. I mean, it must be the phone. Yeah. I think so too. I'm so excited to get diatts. Me too, she get a phone. Oh, my God. Oh my God. See, Nolan, sometimes you really just pick the perfect one. Oh, hell yeah. And he doesn't know. And it's just like, he just, it's fate with you. It's his men. It is. I've been smoking for two years now. I'm trying, oh, so my advice for that other person is maybe go to a doctor. And read. And like, pat and move your brain. Yeah, yeah. Just take notes, maybe. I'm trying to be better for both my mental and physical health, but I genuinely can't quit. Every night when the clock strikes 9 p.m., I feel like I have to smoke. I've even gone as far as throwing all of my weed away, and later found myself digging through the garbage I did that the other week. Deep down, I know I should quit, but TBH, I love it. Help. This is for you, not me. I mean, in the throws of it. I've been through exactly this thing. You got to replace a vice with a vice. You had to do something else. A lot of times, a healthy vice is a good alternative. But for me, it was like, OK, if I'm fucking up my lungs come smoking weed every single day, I'm going to target the lungs to be the point of change. So I started doing cardio, which I hated doing. I did not want to do cardio, but then when I went into cardio and I got done and I, like, my lungs fucking hurt, I was like, OK, well, you know, next time when I do this, they won't hurt as bad. Because I've stopped smoking. Like, go use your lungs as a reminder that, like, that's what they're for. I honestly might have been some of the best advice we've ever got on this podcast. Literally ever. Because you don't want to do cardio and make you've been smoking for a lot. And like, you can like, taste full of it. I know, but I've reward my cardio with like a smoke. OK. Like, when I run into five k every two weeks, and every time I get back, I have to smoke a cigarette or a joint. OK, so maybe that's not the solution for you. No. It's not. You should just start smoking earlier in the day. Then when it comes nine p.m., you don't have this whole fucking debacle because you're already high. Maybe I won't smoke tonight. I'm gonna smoke tonight. Now you are. I'm pretty sure my friend doesn't brush her teeth. Oh! It's happened two to three times now where she comes in my car. It's almost so bad I have to crack the windows. Her tongue often looks very white and caked. And it's so gross. How do I kindly bring this up to her? You say your breath smells bad. If my breath smells bad, Alice will be like your breath stinks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you brushed your teeth? Yeah, honey, that's just not. Is this like a new friend? I'm confused. Like if Julia's breath smells bad, I'd be like your breath smells bad. What kind of friend do you have that you wouldn't tell them? Exactly. Like maybe, you know, that only happens with that. That's why my number one fear of smelling bad. Yeah. And that's why it smells like I really don't do well with smells. When I hate refrigerators, I hate smelling bad. OK. I hate cold food that's supposed to be hot and still smells like hot food. Yeah. Does not give you the chills a little bit. It's gross. Like cold spaghetti. The marinara, and the marinara marinara is all clumped up. And you could still smell the marinara, but you look at it and it's like clumped up and you touch it and it's cold. Honestly, you're making me, I would eat that. You would eat that? Sounds good. Cold pasta. And whatever. I love cold spaghetti. I can't with you. I can't with you. That actually sounds good. Do you ever smell something and it transports you back to the place that whatever that used to smell like? You have like a wolf like you like ice cream shop that smells remotely like Ben and Jerry's. I get transported back to Ben and Jerry's when I was a kid. Yeah. And I used to drink out of little water cups. That's cool. Don't you love when that happens? Yeah, it only happens with me with that. Only with Ben and Jerry's? Yeah. No, it happens with other stuff you just don't remember. Oh, really? Yeah. When does it happen for you? Whenever I walk into like a big, like a, for some reason, everywhere smells like the field house at my high school. Just like the big gym. Like whenever I walk onto a stage or something. Oh, OK. Oh, man, it feels like I'm at a tournament or something. OK. That happens a lot. And then sometimes I was in a garage in LA. It wasn't my garage. Somebody else's garage. That smelled just like my grandmother's garage in the house that she lived in when we were kids. And I was like, holy fuck. And it like took me back like that. And then I was like thinking about all the stuff that's in the bins in her garage. And like doing laundry out there and stuff. And like it was the exact same smell. And I didn't smell it. For instance. Yeah. Sometimes I feel that way about like laundry machine. Well, I think I just like how laundry like exhaust smells. Yeah. Interesting. You know, you know, like when this team comes out. You stand in front of me. So what tattoo should I get? Oh, just get a hot dog. No, I was going to get a banana peel. Oh. Because this is my reasoning for it. And I think it makes sense. I have a quote above my bed that says, um, that, uh, uh, man, he actually painted. It says, if you slip on a banana peel, people will laugh at you. But if you tell people you slip on a banana peel, it's your laugh. That's nice. And it's kind of how I live my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, is a banana peel? I'm going to get a banana peel. I think that's what it's true is to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Would you do it in like the style of like Andy Warhol's banana? Oh, yes. Oh, my God, yes. But it could be cool. It could be like a take on that famous image of it's that. Instead of it being a banana being like the peeled version of it. Would you have it kind of like with the fucking stem up and like the, it like splatted out? Ooh, or is it a profile with the banana? Well, this is a good question. I would have whatever tattoo artist that you're telling me about. Show me. Show me off. Okay, because there's different compositions for this. So I'm interested in what you'd prefer. Okay. That's what it is. That's a good idea, actually. So it's like why do you have a banana peel? I can tell you why. Listen to that. Because I like to laugh at myself before you can laugh at me. Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. My mom's boyfriend doesn't flush the toilet at my house. And when he's downstairs, he uses the bathroom near my room. So it's like technically my bathroom. And I constantly find his pee in my toilet. Literally, how do I even bring this up? Help say you need to flush the toilet. Some of these problems, I'm like, you just need to be like flush the toilet. There's a real lack of assertiveness happening with some of these buses. Yes. I couldn't agree more. Yeah. I mean, really, a lot of these things are solved by one of my favorite things in life, which is speaking plainly. Flush the toilet. Right. You can say your piss is in the toilet. Please flush. Are you a confrontational person? I'm not out there looking for it. But when I find confrontation, I'm very comfortable within it. Okay. Yeah, because I speak plainly. And that's not to be mean. And it's not also to be too polite. But like, people need to hear exactly what they need to hear. So it's good to just say things how they are. Right. So like, you keep peeing in the toilet. And then when I go in there, I'm looking at your pee. Go ahead and flush that puppy. One time when I was on a flight, I peed in the toilet right before. Because I always pee right before we take off. Because I have like really bad peeing. OCD. On the airplane? Yeah. On the airplane. I always pee right before we take off. Like right before the door is closed. Right before everyone finishes boarding, I'll go pee. Sorry. You go board, you put your thing upstairs. And I go pee. And then you go pee. Yeah. And I forgot to flush. I just forgot. Like, I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't really think it mattered that much. I don't know. And the flight attendant came out and said, who didn't flush? No way. Right? She said, who didn't flush? And I said, me. I said, me. And I literally, I said, I'm so sorry. It was me. And everyone looked at me and was like, why would you ever admit that? Right. But it was not the worst. It was really embarrassing. But good for you. I said, I didn't flush. And I'm so sorry. And she felt so bad. Right. 'Cause what is? What's her deal? But like, what is your deal? She's like, we need to flush. I'm like, are we on a school trip? We're on a fucking commercial airplane. Right. It's not like I took a shit in the toilet. I didn't flush it. Then you could be like, who the fuck didn't flush? Right. It's a turd sitting in her head. I peed. Literally. My crazy roommate has been tracking my location. Constantly, we shared life 360 one time while going out. I forgot about it until our mutual friends told me she leaves the app open on her phone, zoomed in on my location at all times. This weirded me out. She turned my location off and she freaked out at me and started asking people if they knew where I am even when I tell her where I'm going. You need to watch single white female or the roommate would late meester. Okay. I have a deal. That's horrifying. Maybe. That's very scary stuff. Well, that's what I'm saying. You need to watch the roommate would late meester. 'Cause that's what happens in the roommate would late meester. Yeah. I'm gonna watch the roommate with late meester as soon as I get the chance. Yeah. She has a roommate. And the roommate. I don't remember if the roommate is late meestered. The other one is end. I guess it would both be roommates. It's like based on single white female. Yeah, okay. Yeah. That's very spooky. Uh-huh. Yeah, no, turn that location off. Keep it off. Keep it off and stay far away. Yeah. There's no fixing that. Nope. Can I have my phone really quickly? I need to call for approval on the tie tie. Oh. Pn is off campus is number one fad. Oh my god, incredible. Hi. I had about mine. Hi, Peyton. Oh, I'm shit. I'm. What's up, sister? How are you? Hi.

I Mean smash So the reason we go out is because should I get a thigh, Todd? You have to Jake. They're so hot. I always tell you this. Yeah, you did you call so can I get one? Yes, he has one Of course he has one super hot. Yeah, so but he said he said he had nothing to do for the rest of the day So he would take me to get one after this You have to go I have to go, right? I Wish I was gonna be there, but you have to go but what would you get because I don't want you to like be man I can like get something weird a banana peel. Yeah, yeah, I knew it. Yes, got the banana peel. Yes. Okay. I need a tattoo You need a calm down. I need a tattoo. I can't believe you have so much enthusiasm for the tattoo idea now I can't believe you haven't gotten one because it's Tell him like that. That's our hot. It's fun. Well, he told me he wears he hyper fixates on something and then hold a get-man I can not do it He told me he wears really long swim trunks He was like I wear jeans to the beach and I was like we need to get a thigh tattoo and then it'd be more comfortable in short shorts Also Jake like you're hot and your body's hot right get shorter fucking shorts. Yeah, decorate it with cool tattoos Yes, you're right Okay, so you need a thigh tattoo and you need new bittersuits. That's what I told him only a peak only if only if he can take me He has to take you Belmont. You have to take him. I'm gonna do my best. I'll be the liaison for this. Okay, love you have so much fun Thanks, love you. Bye. Bye It's a really good idea. I have insane imposter syndrome when it comes to dating because I grew up weird and unattractive Sorry It's literally how I feel I had a crazy glow up But still any time a guy that's mildly attractive and or well like shows interest in me I panic and get scared even if it's a guy that I'm interested in I find myself self sabotaging Is there any way to get over this? Yeah, of course there is I Practice it What just practice You don't have any advice for this to you. No, I really don't that's okay I don't really have any advice out there because I'm but it does sound like you had a good glow up and so yeah Oh my god, you know what you need to watch Quick, oh my god watch the princess diaries. Yeah, watch the princess diaries. Are you talking about like the he's all that and the yes But watch the I've never seen he's all that what was the Amanda bind sucker one that was based on the man she's the man Oh, right, right. Best movie ever so good watch the princess diaries. Yes. Good watch that movie Okay, ready for the last one. Yep. I accidentally discovered my father's porn addiction by finding a hidden tablet with Thousands and upon thousands of videos saved. I obviously understand this is normalized But the sheer amount of content I found saved was not normal from what my mother has told me She is very against pornography in all forms I don't want to cross any lines, but I also don't want my to let my mom be lied to. What do I do? This one is not like the other ones Yeah, sometimes Nolan throws in a good pull Nolan I mean, okay, my first query is what's the old man into? Right is it normal stuff doesn't thousands upon thousands doesn't sound like it Does not sound like normal stuff, but they didn't specify that it was specifically Anything in there, but you know if that's a that is your thousands upon a lot of material I would just tell the mom you know what I would do. I would yeah I think it's probably good for the mom to know that I would tell the mom But I would tell the dad hey, you don't have to have any of this saved right? It's porn also when I was just like you just like you could just go look at it And then you just leave it on the internet and go back to your life You don't have to have does he have boxes of it? What happened? I he has it saved on his computer. Oh, okay Yeah, see I would just be like listen pops You don't have to download this at all if you want to see it again tomorrow You can just go find it again, right so you wouldn't tell the mom I mean, it's interesting the mom is really against pornography, right? So there's an underlying What if you happen in this marriage? Yeah, what a weird coincidence, right? Right, right, and do you think I mean it's possible that she just says that to the kid because she knows about The way that it's affected her husband. Yes, and so she's fearful of the addiction being Janette. Yeah, so maybe just say out of it We're gonna hang really yeah, okay We have to party together. We got to go out. Yeah party. I don't know. Do you go out? I don't really go out of my house party guy I go out all throw a party here at your place. I should do that one of these days. Do you not? I know I never have what I know Never I've never thrown a party here. Oh my god. It's the best. I love to go out It's my favorite thing to do in the entire universe ever ever ever. Oh my god I'd love to go out pre-game to like a planned party situation to like something else or like pre-game to like everybody's going to the same club at the same time pre-game to everyone's going to the same bar at the same time like it is my favorite thing on Green Earth. I'm not a go-out guy. It's quite fun. I believe it. I vended a club once in my life What club was it? It was it was in Miami. I was 19. I Had a bomber jacket on was it a strip club? No, it was like at the W Hotel or something in South Beach. I think it's called the wall something like that if I remember correctly. Did you go to what's the one in the You know the No, no, not 11 not space. It's the one. Oh my fucking live. Did you go to live? No, no, no, no, no. Oh, okay You went to no, I literally just went this is the only time I think I've ever been in a club. Okay, and the music was so loud and I was so poor and The jack-in-cokes were like 25 yeah, they're very expensive and all the women had accents So I couldn't really understand them that well plus it was the loudest deepest transiest house music I'd ever heard I can't so I was screaming at these women who spoke mostly Spanish trying to introduce myself I was like just lost all my money on the two drinks that I bought and the three rounds of cover I paid to get in I had a pair of like nylon joggers on uh-huh and all the other guys in there were like bald and sweating from coke and wearing Rolexes And I was like I've never been more out of place and then I just didn't go to a club again after that yeah So you have to go to the right ones. I'm a dive bar guy. Okay. Give me a shitty bar. I'm there I I just love like loud music and dancing. Yeah, like complete chaos. Yeah, like the lights are off I don't know what the fuck is going on, but all I know is that it's 4 a.m. And then we're stumbling out. You're crazy, man Whatever you guys, you're so nuts. Whatever you guys. Whatever. Oh my god. Sounds like fun. It is fun. Okay. It's time of your life. I would do it with you. Give it a chance. It's the time of your life. All right. Belmont. What did we learn today? We learned basically nothing What was that one bit of good advice he gave that we were like, oh, oh, we learned that if you can put in a good way to quit smoking would be to use your lungs and a good way to retain your memory would be to read. Yes, or play chess or do something that involves big can which us checkers. How about just like mobile games? No, that's the that's what's killing you. Fuck. Yeah, we did learn some things. We learned that I'm getting a tie-tie. Yeah, it might not be today But it'll be sometime. No, no, no, that's how he's getting tatted. It has to. Yeah. Okay. Well, Belmont. Thanks for coming out there past. Thanks for having me. This was fun. Let's do your fun. Yeah, I really did. I had a great time. This was good. I could have done this for much longer. It's good hang.
