Session 153: Brett & Cassidy

The conversation blends personal anecdotes, emotional reflections, and social commentary, centered around experiences of extreme weather, travel, and relationships. The speaker describes intense heat in LA and Paris, comparing it to emotional and physical discomfort, while sharing vivid memories of travel—especially in Toronto, Paris, and Tokyo—where moments of emotional connection and isolation stand out. A passionate love for sourpuss gummies and a planned press tour reveal a deep personal investment in niche products. The dialogue includes improvised social scenarios, highlighting spontaneity and humor. Multiple personal relationships are examined, raising concerns about emotional dependency, secondhand embarrassment, and ethical boundaries—such as free dinners with older individuals or financial support for partners in distress. The discussion extends to broader societal issues like environmental degradation and corporate influence, linking them to the climate crisis. Throughout, music, especially biopics and the Beach Boys' *Pet Sounds*, serves as a recurring emotional anchor, evoking nostalgia and deep personal resonance. Ultimately, the narrative emphasizes emotional vulnerability, authenticity, and the search for meaningful human connection amid chaos and discomfort, culminating in a tribute to shared experiences—like the universal appeal of Coca-Cola—across all kinds of people and situations.

You were there for it. Yeah. Are you, I'm ready for summer to end. It's very hot out. I'm so fucking over it. I'm very, very, very uncomfortable. Right after my birthday, I'm always ready for it to go. I just, it's, and I'm, I'm off it. And did you know that this July and August was the hottest in LA since the 1870s when they started keeping track? What? Yeah. Yeah. Real sad. I mean, good thing you were gone for like most of it, but like still. No, I was in Paris where it was even hotter. Right. I was in Paris though for that heat wave. Which is just. The streets were like as if it was COVID. Yeah. There was no one out there. You could not, like, I can't even describe to you the levels. Of how cold, how hot I was. I can't imagine because I didn't want to go outside today and it's like 15 degrees cooler than what Paris was. And also when the heat like makes your skin like stretch and stick and bloat and like it makes you, like imagine like eating dinner in that heat. No. And when I said get, get the fuck up and go right, like we got to get up and go right now, like. Yeah. You really had to get out of there. It was no joke. Yeah. It was no fucking joke. Yeah. Wait, so I've been watching music biopics. Yeah. And I realized, so I watched the Whitney one. Okay. The other day. Tell me, I know some parts of this are bad, but tell me if I sound good at all. Don't walk away from me. No. No. Just wait. I have nothing, nothing, nothing. Wait, wait, wait. Don't make me close. I don't want to hurt anymore. Well, this is when I fall. But for a moment I had it. Yeah. It wasn't flat at all. What does flat mean? I don't know how to describe it. I need to stop asking questions on this fucking show. Everyone's like, this kid is so fucking stupid. I asked what vain meant and everyone was like, what? Vain as in like you're so vain? Yeah. It's like at the time, yeah, I probably knew what vain meant. I probably just sometimes I just ask questions. It's sometimes just your thing. Like sometimes you just. You just let out a question. You don't, don't fully think about it. Yeah. Maybe I need to start. Maybe I need to start thinking. Yeah. My sourpuss cotches are already starting to hit the stands. Your sourpuss cotches. Like, I don't think anyone understands how passionately I feel about them. I really hope like people like I'm going on a press tour for the sourpuss cotches. Shut up. Swear to God. I've been going on a full press tour for the sourpuss cotches. No, I'm obsessed. I really hope they like fly off the shelves. They're going to. They're going to be like impossible to find. Guys, they're so good. They're said they're really so good. And even if you aren't a sour gummy girl, they're still really good because like the sour fades so fast. It's like sour and sweet. And also I was at the cotches headquarters in Germany and we were like playing around with a bunch of different candy textures that they have. Your cotches era is just everything. Yeah. I mean, CCO up in here. CCO. Cut that. CCO. My OCD is so bad. Like, I want to cut that. Because I didn't like how I said it. My OCD was just like, cut that. Have you been medicated still? Yeah, but I've been smoking. I'm high right now. Right. Of course. Of course. But this is CBD high. Like, I'm CBD high with a touch of THC. What's the difference? CBD like just calms the body. OK. And so I'm like a little high. And as THC like makes me like go a little, you know. Right. Well, yes, that I'm familiar with. Right. From our years of. Of skits and whatever. Right. Smoke and then. Right. Yeah. Do you want to play improv? Sure. OK, Nolan, throw out a situation. You're at the grocery store. OK. And there's only one bag of cotches left. Who am I playing, though? We're just grocery shoppers. OK. Oh. Oh, you wanted those? Oh, it's OK. You can have them. Oh, are you sure? It's fine. Do you know? Do you know what these are for? I don't know. I don't know where they come from. My daughter sent me to get them. Oh, she did. Yeah. What are they? They're this boy who's on the social media. Octopussy. Octopussy? Yeah. Jake Shane? Yes. Yes. Oh, my daughter loves Jake Shane. Oh, she she goes crazy. She has a. Is that what these are? I don't know if I'm good at improv. No. Give me it. Give us another situation. Come on. Keep it going. You do this one more. I felt like that one was too much me. No, no. OK. OK. OK. Yes, you can. OK. You're on an airplane and Brett has asked you to switch seats. Oh. And she has a worse seat than you. OK. OK. Do I have to ask to say. Yeah. Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm so sorry, but I think something got messed up in the reservation and I'd love to sit here. Do you mind? Because my daughter's here. Do you mind going and switching with me? I'm just right up there in the middle. Yeah. Have you asked the person next to you if they could switch with your daughter? You know, that's a good question, but I think my daughter really wants this row. It's like, I would just like love. OK. Well, let's ask her. Do you want this row? Sweetie. Is your daughter asleep? Like, what's up? She gets scared of talking to people sometimes. Oh, that's OK. Do you want this row or that row? OK. I'm done with improv. Yeah. I don't know. I was never as good as like the role playing. You know? Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Improv. Yeah. Like you're acting it up. You're on adults. I'm on adult. Season two out now. Colin, are you excited to watch? I'm very excited. I really like that show. It's great. It really is. It's great. I'm excited to watch. I've been. And you know what? I was in Toronto. I've been in all the major cities for all the major weather events. Right. I was in Toronto for the blizzard. Yeah. I was in Paris for the heat. Both fucking heat waves. Right. I was in there for the first heat wave and the second heat wave. Right. And everyone was like, why didn't you love Paris? Because I couldn't leave my room. You need to go back when it's more mild. Like I'd sit down and we'd sit down at dinner and I just want to die. I feel like your Toronto experience was better because like a blizzard's fun. I had the most wonderful, incredible, beautiful Toronto experience of my entire life. I'm dying to go to Canada. It's the best place on earth. I'm dying to go. It's the best place on planet earth. I've never been. Toronto, it was literally freezing cold. I couldn't feel my hands. Your dream. I woke up and like my hotel room was like on like a, like it was like in the courtyard. There was like a courtyard and my, my hotel room was there and so I woke up and I saw all the snow falling. I really want winter right now. Same. But you know what I don't want? Like end of December to beginning of January. You don't like that era? Like between New Year's and Christmas or Christmas and New Year's? Christmas and New Year's. Yeah. When it becomes like a time warp. Oh my God. You remember that. You, I mean you lived with me when I, no you didn't. You were gone. I was, I've always been gone for that era. For that time. Is that what, this doesn't feel that weird that we don't live together anymore? I don't think it feels weird because we don't live together. I don't think it feels weird. I don't think it's weird. Because it's like, you genuinely have been gone so much. So I feel like when you're in LA, like I'm still here. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. At least that's how I feel. Do you like your new place? I do. I really like the new area I'm in, even though it's not that far. Just like, it's a kind of a nice like change of scenery. I'll say. Can you walk to any establishments? I do. I'll say. I can. I won't say which, but I can walk. I can walk. I can walk to get my like groceries. 'Cause now here we can walk, but it's like a little bit far. It's far. I can walk places. I can go on long dinner walks. You know how here it's like our walking is like a little bit like limited? A little? Kind of. Yeah. Yeah. So, or it's just like, yeah. It's difficult. Yeah. So, and it's been fun to like decorate. I got, Max and I got an eight sleep, which like you were really the eight sleep pioneer. Can we talk about it? Yeah. Please. Let the, please. 'Cause you were literally the first person I'd ever known of or heard of to get one. And now they're everywhere. I think they sent it to me. I think they did. They sent it to me. I think they did too. But I think it was like before they were doing that. I'm very addicted to my eight sleep. Yeah. And now I am too. Like when I'm in New York, I can't like, and I'm sleeping. I'm like, why is my legs? Why are my legs so hot? Oh, you need one in New York. And I don't, I don't have one, but my bed in New York is sorry. Is it amazing? I've never in my life experienced anything like these sheets. Really? Yeah. I've never, I've never, I've never, I've never, I've never, I've never, I've never experienced anything like these sheets. Really? Yeah. When Cassidy joins us later for the, tell me what's wrong. She'll let you know how they, how they feel. Okay. Maybe I need. Cause like, I'm really liking our, I mean, it's the same bed I had here. Cause I had a king here, but the eight sleep is the same bed I had here. It's the same bed I had here. has definitely helped. I also still haven't been in New York with you at the same time since you got in your apartment there except for Broadway but we were there for like 24 hours. Did we leave together the next morning? Yeah. Yeah. We took like the first flight out that Monday like 4 a.m. But you were still staying at the hotel. I'm going to keep it I'm going to keep it a buck. This might have been one of the best winters I've ever had. I mean yeah. Broadway. Japan. Toronto. And then. And then what? Cachas? No. They hand out statues that are gold. Oh. The Vanity Fair. The Vanity Fair. Have you ever talked about it? I beat the horse. The horse is beaten to the pulp. I feel like I've missed that but yeah. I mean that was just. I just like. For me what's crazy is that you were watching at home live. Yeah. I was sitting on our couch watching a live stream. And you know what? I didn't. I was just so proud. That's all I could think about. Yeah but. And then I opened Twitter. You said oh. Because I'm the resident I don't tweet but I feel like I'm the resident Twitter friend like with Swifty Twitter too. Yes. Like remember like Julia never had the app and so we were like. We'd have to screenshot and send it to her. That's the only reason I had Twitter. Yeah. Was to keep up with like the theories. Yeah. And that's why like when the shows are coming out I have to watch the night the show comes out because the show becomes my timeline whatever. So anyway I opened Twitter and I was like hmm. I was thinking about when I was on tour today. Yeah. Was it an entertaining show? Yes. I mean I saw it so many times and I was always entertained. But was it just like a hot mess? No. Like yeah a little. Did you like the first one? The first one or the second one better? I think the second one. Me too and my parents hated the second one. I'm sorry the part with your dad genuinely like. Where I said where I sent him the sushi and he said die. The text with your dad your sweet dad I love Jake's parents so much. Like they are my favorite people. Those fucking texts. Oh it just killed me. Not real. Should I DM Kachos for more rainbows? I mean ideally given that I'm the CCO you wouldn't have to do that. Yeah but we ran out here I think. I think. Of rainbows entirely? I don't think there's any rainbows in the garage. Oh no there are. Okay. I saw somebody eating Kachos at AMC the other day. Yeah they're at AMC. But right now it's a Target exclusive so. Check it out at Target first. You know Target's based in Minneapolis? I did know that. Yeah? I did know that because I was supposed to fly there. Oh and that would have been so fun. I know and I really want to try what the fuck is that fucking coffee you always. Caribou. Caribou. And I think I think you've had it before. I think you've had it but we should overlap there sometime. I would love. Yeah. It's great. Minneapolis is great. Yeah. Love. Except no shade hot sushi place Brett. Oh. That was a miss on my part. Brett's like it's the best sushi in Minnesota. But let me. You were with me. No I wasn't. I was supposed to go but I couldn't make Minneapolis and I forget why. It was my fault. I remember why. It was my fault. I gave you a date and then I was like. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Because Max's mom was supposed to come. Yes. It was a whole thing. Max's friend. Sweet friend. Recommended it but she was like but I actually don't know if they're going to like love it. But I was like oh apparently it's amazing sushi and Max was like don't tell Jake and Alice to go there and guess what I did it anyway even though I'd never met him. Apparently it was the worst sushi ever. Because why would you get. You're used to L.A. sushi. Is Minnesota landlocked. Well it's the land of 10,000 lakes. Oh shit. So I guess not. I guess not. But I don't know if it's I forget if it borders a great lake. I'm pretty sure it's landlocked. I mean if there's 10,000 lakes in Minnesota I would wait. So it is landlocked. I'm pretty sure. No I don't know. Can we get up a map. We get up a map. It is landlocked. OK. It doesn't touch an ocean touching a lake. Doesn't count. Does not count. As landlocked. Disagree Nolan. Disagree. Does it touch Lake Michigan. That's what I'm wondering but it says. No. Minnesota is technically landlocked. Wisconsin touches Lake Michigan. I'm sorry touching touching one of the great lakes is not landlocked and doesn't touch a Lake Superior Lake Superior is a great lake. So it's not landlocked. I mean it's not touching an ocean obviously but it's touching a big lake and there are 10,000 lakes there. But that's not where they're getting the fish for the sushi. So I guess in that sense yes. But it's like how like Lake Forest it's like you know we went to the beach. Yes. And like you would see like Michigan it looks like an ocean. Yes. Like that to me like isn't like landlocked because it's like that's a vast body of water. Are you doing the London Marathon. Fingers crossed. I don't have a spot yet but hopefully. Oh when is it. It's the end of April if you'd like to come. Of course. Any chance to go to London I will take. I love London. And this year it's a two day ordeal. They're doing the marathon on two separate days. So there's a race on Saturday and a race on Sunday. So you really get your results on that. No. Well yes you're like you get your like placement but you still get your time and whatever on the day you race. Right. And Eleanor is going to run it too I think. Oh fine. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the plan. Just to quickly touch on Swifty business. I haven't had a minute to watch the Grammy talk yet. I'm going to watch it tonight. What was said. So it was a lot of specific like song writing talk and it was like about her process and like him kind of he kind of went through every single piece of like body of work she's done. The only albums that weren't touched on in one way or another was Tortured Poets and Life of Showgirl which is really interesting because those are her two most popular and most recent. He like didn't talk about them at all. And she didn't talk about them because like he didn't bring up Speak Now but she brought up Speak Now and then like talked about a few songs from Speak Now and then started talking about Red. Oh I love her so much. Do you think TS13 is coming soon? I think so. What? Not like soon soon. I think in the next year there will be an announcement for sure. And then she'll disappear. And I really think like I want the record to show that like Jake has said that she's going to go back to her country roots. And by the way I've said that before at The Theories. He said it years ago. Years ago. He actually said this like before he was like an internet personality. I said TS13 will be country. Yes. This is literally in college. He said this. Let the record show I'm giving him this credit because that's what everyone's saying now and I believe it. I've always said that. Because she says she's like the more I get the deeper I get into my career the more I want to honor my country roots. She's so good at country. She's so good. She's so good in general but she's so good at country. I'm so if TS13 is country like like imagine like fearless 2.0 but like grown up grow. Yeah. I want it. I just want her to surprise drop it. Just like I don't think she'll do that. No she won't. She won't because she did her surprise drops. Yeah. She did her. No one does them anymore. I feel like an artist does it once or twice throughout their career and then you know Beyonce did it twice. Yeah. And then she doesn't do that anymore. Yeah. Taylor did it twice and she doesn't do it anymore. Yeah. And like folklore and evermore were so specific. Evermore was the best day of my life. It was just. What are you therapist about today? I'm like slightly the slightest bit run down. I feel the same way. And I just like you know how I get when I'm sick. Oh like straight to bed after this. It's just like game over for me if I'm sick and like I'm just a little bit bummed that like I think I'm going to be fine because I don't like feel anything in my throat or anything. What is up with your immune system? No but I haven't been sick since January. So that's what I'm saying. I feel like I'm anticipating my neck But Brett I never get sick and I do and I like don't do anything that you do. Like I like go out every single weekend. That's probably why. Oh because I'm like. You're like exposed to more I bet. Like but like I will say it's been a really like the fact I haven't gotten sick in over six months is fucking crazy for me. So that's why I feel like I'm just like anticipating my neck sickness. Well oh are you do you have your aura ring on or no? No I don't really wear it anymore. Scary. I stopped wearing it after Tokyo like a while ago. I just was like I don't need that information. You know it was just too much. I think it was fucking with your head a bit. Yeah. But anyway so I'm just more so pissed that I just like you know I just need to go to bed. Like I was supposed to go to dinner tonight and like I just was like no. You just need to go to bed. I'm going to take NyQuil and go to bed. I'm super excited about it. I'm therapist that I'm very aware of how short I am these days and I'm very hyper fixated on it. Like I'm like every time I walk I first of all first of all my posture is bad. Have you ever noticed that? I don't think it's bad. I don't know if you might not be like ballerina but I don't have very good posture either. Remember that video you posted me doing the crossword and I'm like. Oh yeah you're hunched over. Oh I miss living with you. Oh I know. Guys that was the hardest I've cried since Macaroni Republic. Yeah. I was crying too. It felt very real when I left. It was just like it was so so much for me like I just gotten home from what where was I even fucking coming from Spain. Oh my God. I was so exhausted. Yeah. I was just coming home. I hadn't been home in forever. You had moved out and I was just like fuck this shit. Yeah. Like literally fuck this. I'm so over this. Yeah. I'm like every time when you get when you land in L.A. or land home from traveling somewhere it is the most emotional experience you could ever have. It is like Like, when I was coming back from Germany to L.A., time i was listening to i was listening to pet sounds by the beach boys right and i fell asleep listening to it on the plane and then i woke up listening to it and then i also listened to it on the way to the plane and i it's just one of those things but when you're when you're traveling like you feel like every lyric that they're writing like was meant for you 100 like like oh my god okay like let me you have really been you gave me a whole soliloquy on the beach boys oh what did what did i say you were just telling me all about like the background and what they did for pop music they did they changed pop music forever um what paul mccartney said about that oh yeah paul mccartney says god only knows it's his favorite record of all time yeah and i was like literally so surprised it's the saddest album of all time yeah it's so good though but you should watch love and mercy with paul dano and john cusack and

welcome cast you're in my hoodie i'm in your hoodie because honestly it was sitting on the table and i was too lazy to go into my suitcase and find something to wear so have you had a good experience in la this week the reason he's asking it's been ass the answer is no the answer is no because jake tells me i need to come out here i obviously do and then he tells me we're gonna go to malibu every single day it is 90 degrees outside it's 90 degrees outside it is beautiful and he has me landlocked in his house oh you haven't wanted to leave no he's been doing brett he's been doing his thing where he's pacing up and down the stairs pretending we're gonna do something time passes he goes maybe malibu tomorrow and i'm like that's been since monday i literally am like should i rent a car like what do i do if you rented a car i would go to malibu like he brett he's kept me in a cage like and i'm i know like i can do something about it i'm aware but part of me is like feeling horrible because what's he gonna do like stay inside in this that's what i do yeah that's what i do it's really tough to be around sometimes like you need to get i even asked him to sit outside with me for two minutes i said your skin needs some color and he wouldn't come outside it is really hot like i'm on my skin keeps breaking out and like i get so red and sweaty so red i had like half a glass of wine at dinner last night and i was like dripping oh my god that's the way i felt at that dinner last night you were like breaking out in hives your face your face said it all we had to go like i was also ready to go where'd you guys go dodo i've never heard about it it was phenomenal great but just like don't pair it with wine okay why did you see i took one sip and i was like this is in yeah it wasn't the move um but yeah this week's been great um how are we we've done so much she has booked a one-way flight i booked a one-way flight are you ready to do this tell me what's wrong yeah can i open my candy these are so good like so good me and my roommates 23 and 24 have recently been hanging out with this old dude for free dinners clothes tickets etc it's not sexual i think he just likes living in the past etc at first i was like this is a mutually beneficial thing right but now it feel but now i'm really empathizing it up and actually feel really bad like it feels like we're taking advantage of his loneliness am i correct to feel this way or is it not that serious correct don't you think oh i don't agree i don't i do i don't agree and i if if anything i feel like you're not understanding that like you might be getting taken yeah well i think it's i think it's both ways like i'd feel weird taking advantage of i see yeah he's the weirdo and like you never want to be indebted to someone you never ask that's the one thing i learned you never want to owe and anyone yeah shit and i have owed people shit so many times and it's not fun okay you don't want to be indebted to people the free dinners are just not worth it it's not because the day you can afford those dinners you're gonna be like why did i ever want these for free yeah so true like you know what i mean yeah and you just yeah you just don't want i mean i'm the wrong person to ask about this question because i like an older man yeah i i guess i would need to know like how old this guy is but regardless i'm like not upset with the situation i used to think he was so creepy when i would hear like younger girls like using older people for money like that's like like even like being flown out somewhere like i think it's it's it's a sign that you're feeling for him like you don't need like it's like you don't necessarily need to be feeling bad for him like that's not good like you shouldn't be feeling bad for him yeah he knows what he's doing yeah he knows what he's doing yeah i wouldn't feel bad he's so much older than you he's lived so much more life than you like he's very well aware of what's going on yeah i agree i would feel very weird in the situation but would i feel bad for him no because he's he likes it it's a weird fetish for these freak fuck men you know what i mean right the one thing you need to know about me is that i'm a writer i write all the time books songs poems one of my best friends recently joined a band and has been writing songs he knows that i write so he sometimes asks me for advice and when i tell you it's so bad like shockingly bad what do i do do i just be honest with him and crush his spirits but telling him that it's good and making him invest time in something that's not doesn't feel correct either i mean i don't know if my friend was like making bad music i would just i think you kind of just have to be supportive you kind of just have to mel robbins let them like you kind of you kind of do now i agree what do you do tell them they suck i mean i definitely would not be saying anything yeah i'm a big avoidant yeah i also think like you like to avoid also have like deep second hand embarrassment like i hate like knowing the other person should be embarrassed and like and they aren't and they aren't yeah many example recent examples of that actually so i'll stay silent on this i just think it's like not that serious it's not that serious let him be in a band and play his games yeah it's fine it's fine you do you you are a big avoidant you are the opposite jake's been like coming at me no i haven't because we were not avoidant no no we're not avoidant i'm saying you you haven't been coming no she's not i wish she was fucking avoidant with me yeah unfortunately unfortunately i'm way too vocal with jake yeah but but that's better so you're going to dinner tonight where are you going to dinner dodo i told you okay oh wait guys no i am not going to dodo i just lied out of my ass i am going to blondie you're at least you're leaving the house yeah i need to get the fuck out right my best friend is dating a guy who lost his job soon after they started dating ever since he has been asking her to help him she has paid for his rent and basically all living expenses he got unemployment but still relies on her a lot she says she loves him but i feel like he is taking but i feel like he is sucking the life out of her but she thinks he's going to turn his life around and get a job soon it's been eight months i don't know how else to help her see that this is bad she is in her mid-30s and does really well for herself she just gets so scared to be single again i honestly get it i would be i would do the same thing as the friend okay yeah but you're paying his rent no no unacceptable do you think cast in the darkest darkest depths you would have paid his friend no that's like like if he asked me or me like trying to be like helpful like that's no like if he asked me to pay his rent i'd be like what the fuck but if if i have like like sometimes i would feel so bad i would pay for him for certain shit that i definitely shouldn't have but i would never pay for rent that's that's like too far like coffees lunches jake's sweating right now i'm sweating too i'm the organizer of the group dinners parties hosting even campaign and trips etc i have a knack for it which is why it falls on my shoulders but every time i do a bulk order of tickets or supplies for anything it's like pulling teeth to get fully so not only am i doing the work i end up putting up most of the money we have so much fun at these things and no one else would plan them if i didn't so how do i set boundaries without everyone just giving up you kind of lost me on like sentence two like this person plans all these big things and they don't get paid back i mean my i guess my question would be you first you can go there's an app that you can split these things on split wise yeah split wise literally you can split these things I'd be like, "This is paid off." it now but or you won't get your shit well my question is is like is she buying these things without people understanding what they're saying yes to you there's also that but like because i think it's like unacceptable for people to just like not pay for their fair share like then like i wouldn't go i would use split wise be like this is the price of it isn't that just venmo no it's what is it cas well it technically is venmo but it just keeps track like me and um peyton and sally did it for tulum and it was like you basically just keep track of everything so then at the end it's like everyone just splits everything like for dinners do you remember their car rides no when did you guys go to tulum freaking new year's oh the bag was lost and the flight got moved to 2 50 a.m yes an hour two hour flight and they woke up to do the tour of
