"Vaginismus or: The Woman Is Fine" (w/ Catherine Cohen)

This is an iHeart Podcast, Guaranteed Human. I am talking to a felon right now with face tattoos, and I cannot decide if I like him or not. That was a caller from my podcast, Therapy Gecko, where I speak with anonymous callers about their problems, relationships, and anything else in the depths of their mind. It all happens on my show, Therapy Gecko. So if you're trying to get out of your own head and into someone else's, this is the podcast for you. Welcome to Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You gave everything you could give, and now it's time to take the next step. Hey, it's Emily Tish Sussman, and this season on She Pivots, the podcast where women share bold career moves and personal turning points. I sit down with culture shifting women who share their pivots like Elizabeth Smart. I still feel that drive that I can still make a difference, so I'm going to keep going. And feminist legend, Gloria Steinem. All of us were trying to express women's real lives. Listen to She Pivots on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We were at the pavilion. - Yes. - And I ended up striking up a conversation with actually two men. And I went back to their home with them. And one of them got too tired for the three of us to participate all together. So I ended up having sex by the river, which is what I called it, which it was the bay. It just looked like a river at the time in my state. And I rode him doggy style. And he made me call him Big Bro. And he called me Lil Bro. And when he said, he said the words Lil Bro. And the way I describe it is, I shot a load to the sky that's never come down. - Now that's that meaner of all. - That meaner of all. And since that meaner of all. - And I literally was so blown away that he has canonically remains in my life as Big Bro. He now knows he's Big Bro on the podcast. - Introduce himself to me at a party last year as Big Bro. - So have you hooked up since? - I'm big. - Several times. - Oh great. - And that's a reminder that I must see him again soon. - He's friend of the pod. - The pod, Big Bro. - Yeah. - I'd love a visual after. - Oh he's so big. I had for years an image of what Big Bro looks like. - Right. - And when I met him, I was like, you have kind eyes, which I did not expect Big Bro to have. - He's very sweet. - Wow. - Very kind. - When he bowened came to me about Big Bro and he was like, I just didn't expect that would be Big Bro. In the way that I'm like, oh, he's a beautiful gentle soul. I thought he was like seven foot five. - Right, I'm the shakin' chin. - Because he's more stocky, Big Bro. - I don't think so. I think he's just perfectly fine. - He's hot. - I think he's hot. - Yeah. - In a way that was just like, oh wow. - Yeah. - Good for you. - Good for you. - That's Big Bro. - But doesn't Big Bro seem like texan to you or something? - Yeah, it seems fratty. - Can I share my memorable thing? - I'm ready. - Let's go, we're ready. - I was administering. - Ah! - And it was-- - You never thought he'd be there. - I know. - Doctor? - Doctor, Dr. Vaginosis. - What about you? - I, but then this is my first time doing it.

And then while I'm there. - I would consider that a fist. - Sure. - But who am I? - Can you punch someone with this? - You might have been in the decision. - You're always in the streets, finally, this.

I must. - Why don't we have to do that? - We'll book, yeah. - I would love. I'll come back. 'Cause yeah, in March 2018, we're all in a school bus. Were you guys on that school bus? - Yeah, you need to shuttle to-- - From the train station to-- - I know what you think of it, no, no, no, actually, I actually mean a school bus.

Remember that? - But then-- - Body worship? - But then the sun sets. - Yeah, yeah. - And then the demons. - And you're trampled. It's Black Friday trampled in the streets. (laughing) - The women were so away. - Oh my God, I'm like grabbing a canoe. I'm like-- (laughing) - No. (laughing) - I had a great time. - I had a great time. - Actually, I went for like one hour on Fourth of July, a couple of years ago and it's scary. - It was too. - It was a lot. - It was too much. - It's scary only because normally it's like the invasion and it's the best time ever. I will own up to the last time I blacked out. - Yeah, it was just really intense. - It was intense. - So everyone was going really hard. - Blacked out, let back to our house with one of our friends. Had 40% hook up. Everyone came back. I was passed out on my back on the dock. - That's beautiful. - On the dock, I wake up to a text from Ronan Farrow saying, "Hey, there's a bunch of people trying to find you "because you dropped your wallet on the boardwalk." - Tough. - I was like, holy shit. - At least she found it. ♪ Pictures of the night ♪ ♪ In the dark, in the dark, in the dark ♪ ♪ School, oh well ♪ - Katie, what's wrong with that? - What song is that? - Last Friday night. - Last Friday night. - I didn't realize that was the lyric. That's beautiful. - Yeah. - Okay, she was a little, no, no, no. - There was a time when she wrote quite good songs. - Oh, what about, you, it didn't get its due? - Just kick it up the top. ♪ We've made the first un-listenable piece of audio ♪ - In history. - I have to tell you, when Katie Perry released, Never Believe Over, I said, oh, we're so bad. - I know, and it's never over. - It's never really over. - I love that song. - Do you believe that? - What do you think of her in Trudeau? - Well, they made their Brent Carpet debut yesterday. - Congrats. - You'll never believe it. They touch noses. - Why? - Now it's what you're doing. You're fucking adorable. (laughing) Well, if you don't touch noses at your wedding. - Let's talk about, let's talk about, 'cause from one happy couple to another. - Oh. - You and Brian will. - Nice to meet you. - It's happening. - You've selected, do we talk about-- - I'm exactly like everyone else. (laughing) I'm normal. - You've selected, just like our friend Joel Kim. - Yeah. - A New Year's. - You know, Joel and I always, for years, been talking about like, we both want to do New Year's Eve. And it's happening. - It's happening. - I, last year was my first. She, I love New Year's Eve, and now I get it. - How funny was crawling in that thing? - So scary. - I haven't laughed at hard like since. Like, the way I was laughing 'cause I was so scared, but also, so, my inner child was out. - Right. But also, you were like wearing a dress. - Yeah, I am. I was crawling through. - And my inner child was out, wasn't it? (laughing) - You're gonna tell me what you're doing. - You're gonna tell me what you're doing. - I didn't expect you to look like that. (laughing) Are you gonna, are you gonna like get it? get a presence there? Like are you gonna get like a home there? I feel like I still see you there. - Oh, in the UK. Well, you know, I officially have my visa. So I could, I could leave any second. - Let's go. - I'm like at the hell out of here. - So visa meaning. - Visa. (laughing) - Visa meaning, you go in there with no questions asked? - It's easy. - Yeah. - It means I could live there if I wanted. - Oh, really? - I'm not going to live there, but I just wanna work there more and I love going and I was just there. - That's amazing. - I had a gorgeous, I had gorgeous two weeks there. - Oh. - I have to shout out. - I saw Moona there, which was so fun. - Oh, that was fun. - I had heaven, which was amazing. - That was like the night before the culture awards, though we did take time. - Yeah. - So you were off in London. - Yeah. - But Catherine was saying, she wanted an invitation. - I wanted to be there. - And I said. - I'm sorry. - I'm sorry. - And then what I said to her was, I was like, you know my dream. Literally, I think it was in the blue sky. Was that seat culture really? - We're doing, we're gonna make it happen. - We have to, we have to. - We gotta get Mr. Poe. - We're getting Mr. Poe. (laughing) - Mr. Poe. - Poe. - Well, because his middle name is, oh. - Oh, I know, it's Mr. Poe. - He's Mr. Poe. - He's Mr. Poe. - Poe again. I think, okay, the only way we top this year, the only way is if it's sea culture reunion and your voice goes out and you have to use the computer voice to tell us. - That was an old timer. - It's a old timer. - We turn darkness into light. - Every time. - Every time. - Every time. - That was awesome. - That was heaven. - For those of you who don't know, we were doing a combination show of seek treatment and last culture, it's called sea culture, where it was basically an advice show just from four people who should not be giving it. - And there are shirts floating around, so. - Yes, I still have it. - Sea culture. - Yes. - Oh my god, I still have it. - But anyway, so basically like we are showing up for the show, we're doing it in a church. Remember it was in a church? - Yes, murmur. - That's beautiful. - Catherine shows up, no voice. I'd injured my vocal cords. - Yeah, really? - And I was really frustrated. - Not to speak, it was really traumatic, but I go, I really wanted to do the show. And so I don't know who suggested it, but I found a thing where I type on the computer and it speaks for me. And so I did that. - She crushed the hardest out of all of them. - You crushed the hardest. - 100% out of them. - Never been. - You showing up sobbing in our arms, like we all know each other, we said it's gonna be okay. - And we were being taught with backstage. - Yeah. - And I hadn't met him and I was like, - He was our special guest. - And he was like, no one understands more than I do. - And I was like, yes. - So literally, you were speaking. - I was speaking like that, but I'm all healed. - No, I'm ready for our union. We'll get into it. - We have to. - But how does it feel to know that you can crush without your gorgeous acid of your voice? That must feel good. - I don't, everything feels good. You know, it's a really good day. - It's a really good day. - It's a really good day, astrologically. - Is it? - Wait, I heard this. - It's quite auspicious. So to be here with you too means a lot. - Tell us about the auspicious. - I don't know. - Too much. - I just, I watched a little bit of Chani. - Chani. - Oh, we love you. - Oh, she's walking around Prospect Park. She's talking and she's talking. She's like, it's a beautiful day. Like, be grateful, be in tune with what you want. She said, reach out, she said, I'm not kidding. Reach out to old friends. - Old friends. - I'm seeing old friends today.

Listen to Pros Society on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. - Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. - And Sean Clements. - We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, AKA The Biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. - We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman. Not that great. - I actually, can you help me, can you help me shape this? - Yeah. - How about we flip it on his head? - No. - Okay, how about we flip this around, okay? How, what is the surprise one then? - Who actually you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. - Adam Scott, love. - This entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. - I would never let go of that. - I have, I would never set expectations for something like that. - It seems like if the universe allows for something like that to happen. - I am open to it. - I'm always going to accept, okay. - Danny McBride, fine. - Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking on the hallway to be honest with you. I was like, I was like, is that weird? Nope, it's fragile masculinity. - Ben stiller, no. - I think there's a lot of times out of context, people don't get it, or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? Like you're like, I go work to state it. - Everyone's so dumb, it's for you. - And fake. - Right, fake and also not interested, or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life. - And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. - Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally, he loves the show, and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. - On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. - I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. - I'm Julie Piñero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. - Every time I try to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. - It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. - I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. - You just remember this low-taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. - Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. - I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. - I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. - They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. - There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive, listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. - I think this was an auspicious day. - I'm so happy. - I think everything happened the way it was supposed to. - And I kind of say, I have to be real. - I was, this was, I was very late to the recording. - There was some Google Calendar drama. It was, we literally said yesterday, oh my god, cats coming tomorrow, I'm so excited. The second I walk out the door of this building, I, it gets dumped in the trash. - Of course. - And then I was like, I have the day off today. This is great. - Oh, that's tough. - No? But then my heart sank when Matt calls me at 115. He's like, hey, I'm at the recording. I was like, did I not immediately go, no! - Yeah, I mean. - Oh, I'm sorry, you were resounder really late. - He was saying, I know him. So immediately it went to what happened. - No, no, no. - And I could feel, and I just also like, I was in your body, like for you, I was like, oh, that feels so bad. - Especially with the background. - But I was hoping, what I was hoping is, 'cause I know that feeling when you're rushing and then on the train, you're like, feeling bad. And I'm like, I was like, I hope he's not feeling bad on the train. - It was fabulous. I've had this in my heart. - I read my book. What are you reading? It's a book about Japanese men's fashion. Oh, it's so fabulous. It's not this. It's not this. It's on the nose. It's this. I will always have trauma from one time We making you wait for me for lunch at the diner on 14th Street for 45 minutes. Look at me no memory. I know I know but like I was like, oh this happening to Catherine is so I was like, I don't want you to think. But can I say this? I actually like when someone's late because then it makes me feel like relaxed totally and I can be on my phone. I really got 45 in a catch up. We needed a catch up so it was nice. Yeah, when was this? You're giving no memory. Truly no memory. See if there you go. I know I used to do this thing. This was like five years ago. Well, I used to do things that I actually don't bring back where I would be like every Wednesday. I'm going to get breakfast at this diner and whoever wants to come can have it with me. Oh, with diner. I have chills. I know I need to find a good one because the one I used to go to is one. But you know what I like. My favorite is of course. We're two neighbors to not be doing this. So I saw you at the bus stop. I didn't though. Oh my God Taylor. Did you know that? Did you know that allegedly chic? Stylized that song as the one with the numerical so that every time you typed in the 1975 you'd see her song first. That's your mind. That's information. That's interesting. I'm only good. I'm awesome. No, she is. That was an interesting melody. I'd be unsaid. Yes. I'm not hard. I cried when we saw that. We saw what was when we listened to the song. No, at the concert. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Culture or I would say my phone. Like in my old old age, like being like, yeah, I'm 52.

I want to. Well, can I, I worry that I brought this up on this podcast before, but do you know about the euthanasia coaster? The euthanasia coaster. I have a little coaster. It's a concept for a roller coaster that would go at the exact speed that would kill you. Painlessly, I think that's that's you just unlocked something. Wouldn't that be awesome? Yeah. Yeah, Disney deaf Disney. So how fast are we talking? I don't know. The law. We're not. That's not terminal loss, but in a sense. What is terminal defile? Terminal velocity. How do you do that? Vaginismus. Vaginismus. No, no, I'm no longer. Anyways, you go on it. And then you go on and die. Terminal velocity would be a crazy name for a roller coaster. 20 miles per hour. What? The roller coaster that would kill you. Yeah. But it would kill you. Okay, well, you know what? We're pretty close to that, by the way, because the one that's in six flags, Kadea city. Becca, can you look up how fast that roller coaster goes? Kadea city. Where is that Saudi Arabia? Oh, that's exactly one. Guys, we can't go. I know how badly you guys want to go to Saudi Arabia. You were just talking about it. You know me. - You guys were both just saying. - Yep. - You would love for, in your words, that fat check to cash to the query odd comedy customer. - Finally, no spoilers. - No spoilers. - Cabernet, Cabernet. - No spoilers, Cabernet, Cabernet. Okay, first up by Ryland, check it out. - Wait, what is this? - What you're talking about is called the Falcon's Flight. - Falcon's Flight. - It is 155 miles per hour. - That's okay, you're supposed to do 20. So, 155 miles per hour, and by the way, that one's over 600 feet tall. - How fast are these F1 cars going? - You know, that's a big part of my life now. - Wait, F1? - You know that my fiance is an F1 podcaster. - So, now you're in the fold. - So, F1 cars can go 220 miles per hour. - So, almost dead. - Almost at death levels of this coaster. - But there, I guess they're protected by car. - Well, and they're also not going up. So, this death coaster. - It's about the angle. - This is a fucking pumpkin coaster. - Oh, the death coaster has a kite of like, way to go. - And, I don't know, B. - Vertical. But, just think of, just the infrastructure cost of it. That's a lot of money. - Can I reveal something though? It's not the speed that's killing you. It is the G-Force. - It's the G-Force. - Yeah, so you can move at a very, very, very high speed. It's the turning up that I believe would kill you. - That's a relief, 'cause when I run, I do things you can never believe. - You fucking rock it. - I'm me doing a 12-minute mile around Prospect Park. (laughing) - Cermino Velocity, boom, zoom, boom. - Watch out, watch out! - 12 mile in a bag. - Come on, no, if I get that, if I get that, if I get under 10, I'm like, whoa. - I'm like, whoa, that's a half hour on the loop. - Sure. - Sure. - I haven't known a while, it's been a while. - So, we all have to go to Psycho Sundays at Berries with Amina. - Amina, Psycho Sundays. - Amina, Amina. - No, shout out to Amina. - Where is that? - It's at No-Ho, Berries No-Ho. It's very hard to get into this class. I got in by the skin of my teeth last week. I'm trying to be a regular. She does a mile challenge. - And? - We're basically like, you have like seven minutes to get as close to a mile as possible. - After doing all this workout. - Well, so the way it's, I actually experienced it after doing, I, for some reason, was on the floor first. Then went, did like a bunch of like, you know, the jogging warm-up, and then we did the mile challenge. And I was like, maybe if I did the trail mile first, I'd be able to do this, but I did fall short. - Wow. - Damn. - And I say this as a self-proclaimed cardio king. - You're a cardio king? - Historically, I've always been. - Both of you are. You gotta use those lungs. - You know me. (laughter) On the treadmill. - Yeah, I'm getting, getting ready. I've never done a show where I have like a set and rehearsals and a director and like a band. It's like a full, so I'm excited to dive into that. - Oh my God, that's so excited. Like all along, not that anything was missing in the past, but it's one of those things now that we've been doing this for a while where you're like, oh, it feels so good. It looks so good to see like you in that set. - Yeah, I love you. - I love you having like a residency at the Lortel. - I'm so excited. - Like that's like, so right. - Music to mine ears. - I've been envisioning it. I'm so excited. - What's the second be? - The set is beautiful. Derek McClain is designing it. He's amazing and you'll have to come see. - Come on, broadstrokes.com. - Yes! - Broadstrokes. - So just to talk about what the show is about, it was you had an experience which is called a stroke. - I had a stroke, it's not crazy. - It's crazy. - The show was writing itself. - Yes. - It's called, the show is called Broadstrokes and it's about a stroke I had almost three years ago. - Yeah. - And when I was in the emergency room, I was like, this better be a good show. Because I was fucking freaking out. - This better be a tame stroke and a great show. - And luckily, it was, it is. - So did they ever find out? - Yes. - Can they find out why? - I mean, I had the Haley Bieber special because this happened to her. Basically, you drank the arrow on smoothie and then you were sure. Holy shit. - You were in here first. No, I was basically, I was born with a hole in my heart. - Wow. - Called a PFO. I didn't know I had it. Live my whole life healthy. Healthy as a clam. One day, my arm stops moving. I go, what? - The day of the stroke? - What was that? - Yeah, that was a stroke, remember that? - Was it a load of something out at that point? - Yes, I think it was. It was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe, no, it must not have been. Anyways. - No, I wasn't. - I go to the hospital, MRI, CT scan, whatever. They tell me I have a toll on my heart. They diagnosed me very quickly, which was so lucky. And then there's a procedure where they can fill up the hole to prevent future strokes. - Mr. Po, the PFO. - Yeah. And my cardiologist's name, I'm not kidding. - Doc McLean. - Dr. Love. - Wow. - Dr. Love filled the hole in my heart. - Dr. Love. - I go, it's two on the note. - Fill the hole in my heart. - It's never gonna land. - That's gonna be in the show. - Of course. - Of course. Anyways, when I got home from the hospital, I was freaking out, I googled it and the first thing that pops up was Haley Bieber's name. And that was the second that I go, I'm gonna be okay. - Yeah, the woman is fine. - More than okay. Because I was like, my life's over. Like I was, you know, of course, having a total meltdown. And then when I, she gave me the strength. So, Haley, I'd love for you to come. - Like, can I just say, the concept of a show about, like a brush with mortality or any kind of fatal thing is like, is the most profound thing to me. Like, 'cause you saw a Josh's show. - Love. - Like, I just, I think about it every day. - That was so crazy what happened. - Totally. And like, like you describing this, I go, I just know you have something profound you will sing to us. - Yeah. - I hope so. Yeah, it's hard to like land on a message at the end of the show, 'cause I'm like, wait, I'm like not over it. But I'm figuring it out. That's part of the journey. - That's all it is. - And doing it is a bit of exposure therapy, not to be so dramatic. - So when you say not over it, are you, when you talk about like the feelings that you have about it, is it just, is it fear that it could happen again? Is it like, is it just the idea that you were like negotiating in that moment with a life or death situation? Like, where are you at? - Yeah, I've always been a hypochondriac. So I think when you're proved right, you're like, damn, what else am I right about? - Yes. - And like, if not only is something bad happened, but something bad gonna happen when you feel totally good. - Yeah. - So processing that, but my thing is, if something bad can happen, what if something really amazing happens? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I can't stop doing this lip bite. Even like I'm one of my family. I'm like, I have to stop. - Performing Catherine Cohen for them. - Ridiculous. Anyway, so yeah, I think I'm like still, I'm still tweaking the show, making some changes. - Yeah. - So figuring out, yeah, where I'm landing, but I'm really excited about it. So that's the journey. - Yeah, that's true. - And yeah, there's music, jokes, and that's the whole thing. - Yeah. - A beautiful costume by Kelsey Randall. Of course, my girl. - It's gonna be beautiful. - It's gonna be great. Alex Timbers is directing the show. - Can we know the color of the costume? - It's here a dessin. - Here a dessin. - Let's say one color. - Wait, it's every color. - It's every culture number 50. It's every dessin. I couldn't possibly say one color. - That's so, I mean, I have chills. - Yeah, I hope to see you. - Oh, you're gonna see us. - You're gonna be fun. - We'll be a party. - September 5th, it's gonna close. So basically, I guess what I think then is you're gonna have a fall extravaganza. What's fall? Is this wedding, wedding, wedding? - I don't know. I don't know, let's see. - 'Cause I feel like fall is you. - Fall is me. - You are fall. - But you know in my old age, 26, I-- - A winter? - No, I just like, I used to hate the summer. Now it's growing on me. - Okay, I hate the summer too. - But is it growing on you? - Why? Why is it growing on me? - It's all in my old summer. - I don't know, I'm like, damn. - I don't do the humidity well. - No, my hair. - But no, I'm a little happier. - In summer. - In the summer. - Well, it's a classic response. - I'm thinking I'll try to shoot over to Berlin. - See, this is the, 'cause we can get into our scriptings. - Let's go. - We got a right of film. - Oh right, the nightclub. - The nightclub. - The nightclub. - I was rejected. - What are you talking about? - Oh, from Berlin. - You went and we're rejected? - Yeah. - Stop it. - That's crazy. - Well, my friend lives there and they were like, we're definitely getting in unless like, it's done for the, for the day, or whatever. - Sure, sure, sure. - And so I'm telling myself that. - So what time, what time did you go? - God, what time was it? - Doesn't matter. - It must have been, it was like, there was no line. - Right. - Do you know what I mean? Everyone had been like. - God. - And we walked in and they were just kind of like, and I had my friend like, dress me 'cause I was so scared, obviously, I had a select back pony. - You need to wait like in Running Man? - Yeah, oh my God, wasn't that amazing. - You looked amazing. - You were, any time you came on screen, I was screaming to the heavens. - I need that to look like that. - Also, you were in a full-blown Oscar film. - I know, it's not. - Sent to mental value. - You were so good at it. - Thank you, I-- - On the beach, oh my God. - I had the time of my life. That was the coolest thing ever. - Yeah! - Oh my God. - It was major. - Did you shoot that for a while, or was it just like-- - It was like a week in France and a week in Norway. - Listen to your story. - The dream. - How was Renata? - I did not work with her. - You were with Al. - Oh, you were with Al. - Yeah, I love Al. - Yeah, I love Al. - She's the fucking best, so funny, so cool. She's my girl. - Yeah, we like Al. - And then Renata, I only met briefly at an Oscar's thing, and I was like, "I love you!" I was like, "I mean, I love you!" She was like, "Of course!" (laughing) - I make sure that people can't recognize me with sunglasses. I was like, "It's me!" (laughing) - Did you get that? But do you think that's true? - Totally. - Yeah, like if-- - It's something. - If you do some lessons today, I recognize you down the hall. I even went, and I did like a whole pose in a gasp, and Catherine just walked towards me, and I couldn't tell if she was doing a bit 'cause her sunglasses were spitting on, and I was like, "Is this the bit?" [BLANK_AUDIO] - You just didn't see me. - I was listening to oh man, I'm not, I dropped it. I was like, ah! When is New Olivia? Is it today? - It's, I don't know. - It's in two days. - Okay cool, I'm like, I'm so excited. - I'm so excited. - It's Friday, isn't this Friday, June 12th? - Yes. - Oh wow. - 'Cause remember when they said stop that train and living in Rodrigo, we're coming out of the same day, this is the, this is Barbanheimer for Gays, who peace sitting down. - Yeah, yep, yep. Me. - Do you guys like things in your dog? - I love it. - I'll do it every now and then. - I'll be sitting down if I use the bidet, you know what I mean? - I'll be standing up. - And use the bidet? - No, stop it. - Let them. - Let them. - Let them. - Do you think Mel Robbins peace standing up? - Sure. Have you seen the amazing video of her squirming out of bed? - What? - She has this thing, I'm like, did I make this up? She has this thing where she's like, sometimes you have to just throw yourself out of bed. And it's her like, she's writhing on the ground. - I get it though. - She looks amazing by the way, I was like, okay, body. - She's writhing like a slug, and now I'm up, you know? - I don't understand why she on the ground. - It's because I get it, because sometimes it's like, you know you need to get up, but your body just is like, this is me every morning in New York, it's hard. Meanwhile, I'm up at 5.30 a.m. in LA. - I can't wake up. - Here is 10 a.m. I'm like, oh no. - When do you guys go to bed? - It depends. - Where I am right now, because we're like, not working anymore for a little bit like, I went to bed at like 1.30 a.m. last time watching the Michael Jackson documentary. - I went to bed at 2 a.m. last night, because I watched Summer House twice. - Wow. - Let's get into it. - So. - So. (laughing) - So what I'll say is, I mean, I actually haven't watched the latest episode, but I did watch all 10 seasons in 2.5 months. - You and like, I think Hunter, Harris did this, like-- - Hunter, was it a watcher? - Hunter was in a watcher until the scandal broke, and then she was like, well, I guess I gotta watch. - Yeah. - And then she interviewed Sierra for her cover story. - Yes, amazing. - She watched all 10 seasons. - It's so good. - So I fucking love that show. - It's amazing. I love Kyle. - Me too. - I love Kyle. - No, Kyle? - Okay. - Watch, okay, so you haven't seen this reunion. So we're recording this after the third. - You guys can talk about it, I don't care. - But, so there's just a mom over here like, breaks it down so well to West. - She's like, what you did was essentially isolate Amanda in a way that, like, what's your plan to make sure she's okay because I still care about her. - Wow. - It's really what people like West make me very nervous. - That's like so scary. - It's so scary. - Wait, so what do you guys think's gonna happen with the show? Like, who's gonna be on it? - I think there's gonna be two different shows. - Yeah. - Oh, like in the city. - I think in this city is the one that Amanda is on now, and I'm sure that West, if they're gonna be in a relationship, we'll be on that show, and then Kyle will, I'm sure deal with that. I'm sure Summer House continues with the great cast that they have and the great new people they've added, who I really like now by the end of the reunion, who I was a little bit non-committal on the whole time as Bailey. - Oh well, I went on her amazing show, It Girls. - Oh yeah. - I follow it now. - Yeah, it's amazing. - Yeah. - I was so gagged to see her on Summer House, I was like, that's like, girl. - Yeah. - She did amazing work. It's not easy. We love Mia, I think KJ is great. I think Dara crushed the ring. - Yeah. - Dara crushed. - But they broke up. - Why? - Oh, that's sad. - I think he's dealing with all of it. - Yeah. - He's going through it. - Yeah. - Wait, where is Lindsay's apartment? - I think a fight. - That's the craziest apartment I've ever seen of him. Everywhere they live, I go, I've never seen anyone live anywhere like this in New York. - Ah, okay. - Because he's here like so many years. - Which is what, you know why that's heaven? - Yeah. - Because it reminds me of when, of before we lived here, where it's like, it was sex in the city, when I was friends, like heightened, kind of, liminal space, non-existent fantasy New York. - Yeah, the neighborhood. - Yeah, it's back to that. - Totally. - There's a pianist at the party. - Right, I'm like, I've never seen- - You're barbecue? (laughing) - Taylor's gonna be behind the piano for me. - Taylor's actually doing the good version of the Toy Story song at Bowen's house. - I know it, I know it. - Wait, but the other thing is, did you notice? Did you watch it in the city last night too? - I didn't watch it. - I have to watch it. - Okay, so Kyle and Amanda were fully having drinks at Ulysses. - Whoa! - Wait, where's that? - I used to work. - No way. - They were on Stone Street, and then Kyle said something like, "This street is really cool." And I was like, "Well, Kyle, it's actually "the oldest street in New York." - Yes! - Stone Street. - Stone Street. - Wow, I mean, I would get really star-struck to see any of them. - I mean, this is the gag. We fully partied with Kyle and Amanda last year at Cannes Lion. Hitted off with them so hard, had a group chat with them, taking fun pictures, everything. - You had a group chat with them? - We have. (laughing) - And then-- - Let's see, let's get in there. - And then we actually, well, we messed up a relationship with Kyle. (laughing) - Together. - Kyle and Amanda on Seatree Minute. - I don't know, I'm in here, but yeah, either way. - We do one. - Well, Kyle wants to do-- - Seat culture, our first year. - Kyle wants to do a Flower Boy podcast, and I think we're gonna have to do that. - We have to. - And we're gonna have to fly in Kyle Cook to get Stone Drinking Flower Royce. (upbeat music) - Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. - And Sean Clements. Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. - We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. - Yeah. - No. - Okay, how about we flip this head? - No. - Okay, what is the surprise one then? - Well, actually, you think it's the straight man, it's actually the one who's acting weird. - Adam Scott, this entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. - I am open to it. - I'm always going to accept, you know. - Yeah, saw this fragile masculinity exuding. - I was like, I was like, is that what you need? - Nope, it's fragile masculinity. - Ben stiller, no. Like you're like, "Oh, it's so stupid." - Everyone's so dumb, it's for you. - And fake. - Right, fake and also not interested, or just like, "Oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life." - And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us.

You doing this makes me think about just the The the physicality of being on your phone is so pathetic Which is just it's just the fact that it's mostly like if you look in a room If it's a room of people where the vibe is bad and everyone's just on their phones It is ultimately a bunch of human beings Just ignore the phone of it all but just go in like this. Oh movie literally twiddling. Yeah, and I'm like that's so Lane it's so sad zoom out disclosure day moment. What are we doing? We haven't seen disclosure And it's very disclosure day maybe we're doing to get off our phones.

So like I'm like not aware of any discourse unless people tell me things Are happening and then I go look on reals. I see some things Yeah, but I've just noticed that like going out of my way to limit things. I have access to on my phone does all of the work and Then you really are like You can be on your phone to interact with people that you want to interact with It's just the extra stuff that feels like a trap because then it's like you get into like a wormhole or an algorithmic spin-out and That's I think what has helped me is just like limiting the apps. Yeah, I bought brick. I haven't used it once. I think Pat's been bricked since November he keeps calling me. That's amazing. I'm so happy for Mr. Poe. Yeah, Mr. Poe.

It's a little too dramatic I've never personally been in the position where a relationship has been so bad that I had to rip a photograph of us apart Then again, most of the photos that I look at are digital. I am a child of the internet that being said when you go online digitally 30 seconds and you see that us weekly has taken a picture of you and someone that is very special to you and Ripped the photograph at half-babe.

I think this is the idea If we aren't we know our need or evolutionary need for opposable thumbs is I think we This actually solves so many problems with the with the pernicious rise of technology the development of technology I should say with the way that you can form a fist with the way that you can wield 15 seconds against your own fellow man or woman or anyone in between I think Thumbs are the reason we have fallen as a society five so curious about this. It's gonna go in the book It's gonna go in the book Thumbs are the reason why we're so miserable and that's one minute.

I want to wake up when the wind wuffs me awake. I want the world to carry me to the next thing. I want the universe to take me from corner to corner and I'm knowing what can happen. Anything good can happen. Everything good to run the car. I got my routine. Five to nine before you're nine to five. No. No red light mask. No collagen vitamins or a scam. No cream. You don't need to put 14 creams on your face for a thousand dollars. No routine. Lemon water. No. No frothing. You're macha. No. No. No routine. Journaling. It's all been sad. It's been ten seconds. I'm done with the routine. Every day should be different. Every moment. The body is the space of life and I'm hungry for a bowl of spicy spicy life soup. If you're just listening, it looked exactly like you think. Very like woman in the wind. The woman was fine. But she was in the wind. But I think I put a lot of pressure on myself to have a routine and it's just say it's been 30. It's been so many years. It's not happening. Do you all routine? Can I say when I get the opportunity to get a rupee? Rupee. Rupee. What happens when I get fingered? Rupee. I got the root. Rupee is drag race. My redemption. Rupee on that joke. What happens when I get a routine is I do become happy for about three weeks. Wow. And then I'm like, we have to switch up the routine. But I think of routine for a short period of time. Routines in short first. The only real thing in my routine, my repeat right now, is Jolingo. Yeah. I'm finding legit community. That's awesome. German. German, but then you see like my mom and I are on a friend quest together. That's lovely. Learning French. Oh cool.

Not that great. I actually can you help me can can can you help me shape this? Yeah. How about we flip it on his head? No. How about we flip this around? Okay. How what is the surprise one then? Well, actually you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never let go of that. I have. I would never set expectations for something like that. If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I am open to. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity, exuding. I was like, is that what we need? No, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller. No. I think there's a lot of times in out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. Like you're like, oh, it's so stupid. Everyone's so dumb and fake. Right. Fake and and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us.

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Beniero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita. On the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
