not our first rodeo

WEBVTT

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:10.400
Oh hi, I'm Travis. And I'm Emma. And this is

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.460
Bestie Approved. Welcome back to all 12 of you

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.800
that listened last week. Were there 12? We're

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.339
famous. It was actually 12. We're actually famous.

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:26.059
So I posted the episode and... So night one was,

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:29.160
or, like, after night one, it was four people.

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.600
Pretty sure one of them was my dad. Yeah, and

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.640
me. Oh, yeah, because you listen. Wait, did you

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.820
listen, like, to the Raw thing I sent you, or

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:41.280
did you listen on Apple Podcasts? Oh, no, I listened

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.579
to, like, the Raw. Oh, so one of them is for

00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:48.000
sure Huck, and then I know one of them was Josh

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.469
Taylor. Sure. Because he was like, I need to

00:00:51.469 --> 00:00:54.109
listen. So Josh, if you're listening, hi, thank

00:00:54.109 --> 00:00:57.070
you. Our biggest fan and supporter. Appreciate

00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:02.329
you. Thanks for always believing in me. What's

00:01:02.329 --> 00:01:06.370
going on today? What's on your mind today? Not

00:01:06.370 --> 00:01:11.209
a lot. I'm so tired. I do not have the brain

00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:15.209
capacity for it to think. It's just exhaustion

00:01:15.209 --> 00:01:18.620
and depression up there. So. Emma's pregnant.

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.760
Emma is... Almost... Tomorrow I'll be 11 weeks

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.439
pregnant, so I'm almost through the first trimester.

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:31.840
Jesus Christ, that's been quick. Do you guys

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.959
want to know how I found out Emma was pregnant?

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.159
Because I'm mad about this. To this day, I'm

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.120
mad about this. Okay, go. So I text Emma, and

00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.739
I said, hey, I want to pre -order tickets to

00:01:44.739 --> 00:01:50.450
the Kesha. to the Keshet tour in Indy. And I

00:01:50.450 --> 00:01:53.329
said, yes! And he said, yeah, let's do it. And

00:01:53.329 --> 00:01:56.090
I said, okay. And then, like, I screenshot her,

00:01:56.209 --> 00:01:59.549
like, the thing that's like, okay, pre -orders

00:01:59.549 --> 00:02:01.870
are about to be live. And I was like, I'm so

00:02:01.870 --> 00:02:05.409
excited. And then you go, actually, I'll be,

00:02:05.590 --> 00:02:08.990
like, six months pregnant. And I was like, I

00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:13.330
guess I'll just kill myself. Like, I guess I

00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:17.409
wasn't meant to have a good life. So true. And

00:02:17.409 --> 00:02:21.669
Travis is so funny. Obviously, he's not privy

00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:25.389
to the pregnancy thing. No, I'm not familiar.

00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:28.110
And the way he texted me, I think it was literally

00:02:28.110 --> 00:02:32.150
yesterday, asking if I wanted to join a dodgeball

00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:37.250
or a kickball group. And I said, I cannot take

00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:40.520
impact in my stomach, mama. Maybe next year.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.939
Yeah, so this is something you'll all learn about

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:46.819
me as time goes on. I have this fun thing where

00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:51.659
I decide I want to do things. So it's like I

00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:53.780
text Emma and I was like, hey, let's join an

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:56.539
adult dodgeball league. Let's do kickball. And

00:02:56.539 --> 00:03:01.240
she's like, okay. Or like, it's a podcast. Like,

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:07.919
let's do a podcast. And she's like, okay. The

00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.099
one that was a hard no was when he was under

00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:14.300
the delusion that we were going to train for

00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.819
the Lululemon Bearathon. Oh, yeah. Absolutely

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:21.419
not. Never in all my days. Well, so I have this

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:23.560
sick obsession with Miami. Something else you'll

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.379
come to learn about me is I have a sick obsession

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:27.979
with very specific geolocations in the United

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:30.039
States. One of them's Atlanta. One of them's

00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.800
Miami. I don't know where the rest of them are.

00:03:34.049 --> 00:03:37.750
But I got an email from Lululemon saying, hey,

00:03:37.889 --> 00:03:42.370
we're gonna do a... Was it a marathon or a half

00:03:42.370 --> 00:03:44.270
marathon? Gone to my head, I couldn't tell you.

00:03:44.389 --> 00:03:48.229
Anyway. But I said, let's do this! And Emma said,

00:03:48.449 --> 00:03:53.689
no. Never would I ever do that. Ever. And I remember

00:03:53.689 --> 00:03:58.110
very vividly sitting in the waiting area at Suntan

00:03:58.110 --> 00:04:00.590
City being like, why doesn't she support my dreams?

00:04:02.349 --> 00:04:06.870
I ran cross country in middle school. And number

00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:11.349
one, I was not good at it. And number two, I

00:04:11.349 --> 00:04:14.669
wanted to die every second that I was racing

00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:20.029
or practicing or anything. So I'm not a marathon

00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:23.970
runner. I'm not even a half marathon runner.

00:04:24.029 --> 00:04:29.089
I'm not a 5K runner. I really respect all the

00:04:29.089 --> 00:04:31.850
people who do, and I cry at all the TikToks every

00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.410
year of people finishing their marathons and

00:04:34.410 --> 00:04:36.350
being so proud of themselves. That could have

00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:39.569
been us in Miami. Right. I'm so happy for them,

00:04:39.730 --> 00:04:45.129
though. I personally do not want to destroy my

00:04:45.129 --> 00:04:49.050
feet or pee on my legs. That's fair. That's fair.

00:04:49.129 --> 00:04:52.990
I do respect those who do. That's fair. I think

00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:56.220
that's beautiful. So I learned in the first episode,

00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:58.160
we didn't really get to know each other. Well,

00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.639
we know each other. The audience didn't get to

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.500
know us that well. Okay. Let's talk about us,

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.259
because it's our favorite subject. Yeah. And

00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:09.839
I thought something fun would be our firsts.

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:15.959
Okay. What was your first job? My first job was

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:22.259
at Marco's Pizza off of Southport Road in Indianapolis,

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.410
Indiana. And I was basically forced to sign a

00:05:27.410 --> 00:05:31.850
sexual harassment affidavit. And it was great.

00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:36.689
It was great. I loved it. You were 16 years old.

00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:42.509
Not even, no. I was like 14 or 15. What? Yeah.

00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:44.930
You can work that young? Yeah, if you have a

00:05:44.930 --> 00:05:49.449
parent sign off on it, yeah. Oh. Yeah, it's really

00:05:49.449 --> 00:05:51.889
kind of weird. And, like, I had to walk there,

00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:54.449
so I had to cross Southport Road on my own two

00:05:54.449 --> 00:05:59.410
legs. And it was a whole thing. You know what?

00:05:59.529 --> 00:06:03.250
It toughened me up. It was an experience. Probably

00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:07.550
you. My second job was honestly amazing. One

00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:09.870
of my favorite jobs ever. I worked at Ritter's,

00:06:09.889 --> 00:06:12.250
and I worked there for years. I loved working

00:06:12.250 --> 00:06:15.790
there. I had other jobs on the side while I worked

00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:18.120
there because they're closed in the winter. But

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.759
I loved it. Loved it. Ritter's is the frozen,

00:06:21.819 --> 00:06:24.860
oh my God. Frozen custard, yes. Frozen custard,

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:28.180
I can't, yeah. Yeah. Is that like an Indiana

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:30.779
thing or is that? No, because Culver's is frozen

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:35.500
custard too. No, but like is. Oh, Ritter's. No,

00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:40.779
they have stores in Florida and somewhere else,

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:46.800
but they began in Indiana if I, don't look it

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.019
up. My first job was at Hollister at the Castleton

00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:56.800
Square Mall. At Castleton? Yeah. At the Castleton

00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.680
Square Mall. I very vividly remember I walked

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.040
in and I was 17 years old and it was dark and

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.509
it smelled like SoCal. the cologne that they

00:07:08.509 --> 00:07:10.790
sprayed around the store. And he said, I'm home.

00:07:11.129 --> 00:07:13.410
And I said, I love this place so much. And then

00:07:13.410 --> 00:07:16.930
the store manager, who shall remain nameless,

00:07:16.930 --> 00:07:22.290
but was a demon monster. I, yeah. Retail managers

00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:25.149
often are demon monsters. Oh, but like when you

00:07:25.149 --> 00:07:27.230
work for the Abercrombie and Fitch family of

00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:31.509
brands, it's even worse. I'm sure. Um, she comes

00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:33.730
up to me, she goes, hey, I have a question for

00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:36.459
ya. And I was like, what? It's like I was so

00:07:36.459 --> 00:07:38.860
honored to be talked to by this woman. And she

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:41.920
goes, do you have a job? Do you want a job here?

00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:44.600
And that's they call it recruiting. And looking

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.920
back on it, it's so sick because they were like,

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.000
do you want to be a model at Hollister? And I

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.740
was like, there's nothing I've ever wanted more

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:55.699
than that. And so I was a Hollister model, which

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:59.540
for those of you who have not worked for Hollister

00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:02.480
or Abercrombie and Fitch, being a model there

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.009
only consisted of. folding clothes and standing

00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:10.189
at the front of the store, on the women's side

00:08:10.189 --> 00:08:11.670
of the store, because it was women's one and

00:08:11.670 --> 00:08:14.269
men's one when you first walked in, and you stood

00:08:14.269 --> 00:08:16.769
up in women's one and you said, hey guys, what's

00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:20.449
going on? Just like that? Yeah, that was the

00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:24.310
job expectation. And you folded clothes and you

00:08:24.310 --> 00:08:26.449
sometimes worked the cash register, sometimes

00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:31.529
you didn't. That's... Yeah. Yeah. See, your first

00:08:31.529 --> 00:08:34.409
job seems so, like you're talking about the job

00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:38.110
functions. All I can remember from my first job

00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:41.370
are the people. There was a gang member involved.

00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:45.509
The owner was hardly ever there, and when she

00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:47.570
was there, she very much clutched her pearls

00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:49.889
at everything that was occurring in the store.

00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:52.610
When was the first time you realized adulthood

00:08:52.610 --> 00:08:54.629
was a scam? Because I know the answer to this

00:08:54.629 --> 00:09:01.960
for me. I feel like very early on, like in college.

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:05.399
I was like, there's not enough money and there's

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.200
not enough time to do anything the way you would

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.419
want to do it. It was probably the first time

00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:14.759
I ever wrote out a budget and realized I would

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:19.379
need to make $700 ,000 a year to maintain a lifestyle

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:23.919
that I deemed worthy for myself. That's probably

00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:30.759
the first time. I continue to realize it's a

00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.580
scam, though, with the whole insurance thing.

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.779
Oh, Jesus God, the insurance thing. My God, I

00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:39.980
was freaking out. I had my first OB -GYN appointment,

00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.220
right? And I was freaking out because my son

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:47.639
has insurance, but I do not right now. And I

00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.480
applied for insurance. It's a whole thing, okay?

00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:52.000
I'm not going to get into it. But anyway, I was

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.019
nervous because I was walking into the OB -GYN

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:58.220
telling them I'm self -pay. To which they say,

00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.860
okay. And then hand me a bill for ultrasound,

00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:11.740
education, and a physical exam. $247. And I'll

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:14.580
tell you another thing. They took nine vials

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:20.159
of my blood. $42 .50 for those labs. By the way.

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:24.220
I believe that's how it should be. It's beautiful,

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.220
right? But I guarantee you, if I had insurance,

00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:34.200
it would be $2 ,000, and I would need to pay

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.320
probably a similar amount that I am paying out

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.480
of pocket. Yes. So the whole thing is a scam.

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:43.659
I'm not telling you not to have health insurance,

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.159
because if you go break your leg, that's not

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.620
on me. But it's a scam. And I got these special

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:53.200
labs done for the baby to see if they have anything

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.440
wrong with them genetically. And it tells us

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.580
the sex of the baby, so I'll find out, like,

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.320
super early. I'll know next week the sex of the

00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.320
baby. Do you want to know early? Yeah. Okay.

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.399
Oh, yeah, because I want to start shopping. Okay.

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:13.919
And those labs, which are optional and extra.

00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:19.470
An extra $250, except the place that does those

00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:23.090
labs has a financial aid thing. And if you're

00:11:23.090 --> 00:11:25.889
like me, a realtor who's made nothing yet this

00:11:25.889 --> 00:11:29.490
year, it's zero dollars, mama. I don't understand.

00:11:30.409 --> 00:11:35.730
Like... Yeah. And this is the thing that I'll

00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:41.429
never understand is, like, you have insurance.

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:44.779
You still have to pay for things. You're paying

00:11:44.779 --> 00:11:47.279
for the insurance for the privilege to pay more.

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:49.919
Yes. You're probably paying what I paid for my

00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.399
appointment every month for insurance out of

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.279
your paycheck. No, you're not. You're paying

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.559
more. Let me explain something to you. So Emma

00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.379
was there for my experience when I bought health

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:03.639
insurance through the marketplace. Yes. Where

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.299
it was. And you had a guardian angel helping

00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:09.929
you. And it's still like this. Yes. I had. I

00:12:09.929 --> 00:12:12.570
had someone navigating the process with me who's

00:12:12.570 --> 00:12:14.330
special. No, wait, no, no, no. I didn't have

00:12:14.330 --> 00:12:16.529
that. That was completely separate. Oh. That

00:12:16.529 --> 00:12:19.710
was, she was like, oh, sorry, I can't help you.

00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:23.409
I was like a guardian angel. No, I had a friend

00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:25.090
who understood insurance. This was separate.

00:12:25.450 --> 00:12:27.529
Who was like, oh, yeah, this is the one you need

00:12:27.529 --> 00:12:30.090
to pick. Okay. And I was like, okay. The one

00:12:30.090 --> 00:12:34.669
I needed to pick was $564 a month. A month? A

00:12:34.669 --> 00:12:38.559
month. And I was like, okay, that sounds about

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.980
right. Perfect. So I pay that. But here's the

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:43.899
thing. If I don't have insurance and the worst

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:47.299
happens, I am admitted to the hospital and I

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:49.039
have to stay there forever and I get a bill for

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.919
$100 ,000, guess what? I'm just not going to

00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:56.080
pay it. Oh. I'll take it one step further. I

00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.860
had a stroke. I had insurance at the time. Oh,

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:05.700
yeah. The hospital. was so comfortable sending

00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:11.139
me a bill for $40 ,000. Literally had a stroke

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:14.940
at work. Oh, my God. And the fact that I had

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:17.559
it at work is completely irrelevant. I had health

00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.639
insurance. They asked me when I was laying there

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.299
in the bed, is this your health insurance information?

00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:25.860
Because apparently they can just find it. They

00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:27.940
don't need your health insurance card, even though

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.820
they make you give it to them every time. Apparently

00:13:29.820 --> 00:13:31.559
there's just some database where they could put

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.490
in your name, and it just shows up. That's actually

00:13:34.490 --> 00:13:38.070
so irritating because you lose your insurance

00:13:38.070 --> 00:13:40.889
card and you go to the doctor and they go, I

00:13:40.889 --> 00:13:43.590
don't know. I don't know if we can see you today.

00:13:44.070 --> 00:13:49.009
But I said, yeah, that's me. And they said, great.

00:13:49.669 --> 00:13:51.629
You're going to meet your deductible this year.

00:13:52.429 --> 00:13:55.450
Meaning the most I should have had to pay was

00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:59.190
$1 ,000. Yeah. Great. Perfect. Gorgeous. Love

00:13:59.190 --> 00:14:02.590
that. Yeah. Pay your doctor. The hospital was

00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:05.750
so comfortable sending me a bill for $40 ,000.

00:14:05.830 --> 00:14:09.309
And I said, that's none of my business. That

00:14:09.309 --> 00:14:12.029
must be a mistake. Like, do you actually think

00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:15.429
I'm going to pay that too? No. Because you're

00:14:15.429 --> 00:14:18.269
just as deluded as I am. Right. If you think

00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:19.809
that. To this day, I don't know what happened

00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:24.389
with that bill. I hope they billed my insurance.

00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:27.730
I hope someone got paid for that. I do. But anyway,

00:14:27.929 --> 00:14:31.950
what was your... First time you realized it was

00:14:31.950 --> 00:14:34.269
a scam. The first time I got a tax bill from

00:14:34.269 --> 00:14:38.190
the IRS. Oh, yeah. The first time that I said,

00:14:38.330 --> 00:14:40.149
you people are taking money out of my paycheck

00:14:40.149 --> 00:14:45.750
every single two weeks. Every other week. And

00:14:45.750 --> 00:14:50.990
that's not enough. Not enough. I never understood

00:14:50.990 --> 00:14:55.509
the idea that the IRS knows how much you owe,

00:14:55.669 --> 00:14:57.789
but they want you to play this fun little guessing

00:14:57.789 --> 00:15:01.279
game first. Sweet Kenny. Sweet, sweet Kenny.

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:07.139
The first year he made money, he hopped on TurboTax

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:10.700
and he said, I really don't want to get this

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:16.299
wrong. I must hire a TurboTax CPA. No. He did.

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.840
No. And he FaceTimed with them and they answered

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.240
his questions and filled out his taxes. And I

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.240
was like, sister girl, you could have done this

00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:30.659
with them. Bless Kenny Hart. I know. I know.

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:33.620
He still thinks I should be a CPA. That was my

00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:36.220
dream a few years ago. I would rather die. I

00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:39.440
would be a good CPA, and I would enjoy it. But,

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.759
uh... And here's the God's honest truth. My birthday

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.259
falls a week before the tax filing deadline.

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:49.740
I'm not interested in doing that. No. Like, I

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:52.500
can't be that busy during my birthday. And also,

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.250
people are so... I don't want to get back into

00:15:55.250 --> 00:15:57.750
finance. People are so shitty about money all

00:15:57.750 --> 00:16:01.409
of the time, all of the time. But, no, that was

00:16:01.409 --> 00:16:03.549
the first time I realized adulthood was a scam.

00:16:03.570 --> 00:16:05.289
And here's the God's honest truth. I'm happy

00:16:05.289 --> 00:16:11.110
to pay taxes for people to eat. I'm happy to

00:16:11.110 --> 00:16:13.549
pay taxes for people to have health care. I'm

00:16:13.549 --> 00:16:16.669
thrilled to pay taxes. Yeah. If anything, I'm

00:16:16.669 --> 00:16:19.830
a socialist. Yeah. Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax.

00:16:20.549 --> 00:16:24.009
It's just the... It just doesn't seem like we're

00:16:24.009 --> 00:16:26.509
doing the right thing with the tax dollars. That's

00:16:26.509 --> 00:16:28.289
just what I'm gonna say. And the systems that

00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:34.990
are in place for to tax us are not ideal. Um,

00:16:35.230 --> 00:16:37.889
yeah. When was the first time you felt like a

00:16:37.889 --> 00:16:42.750
grown -up? I felt more like a grown -up when

00:16:42.750 --> 00:16:48.480
I was, like, a teenager. Than I do today. Okay.

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:50.419
The first time I felt like a grown -up was the

00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:52.519
first time I got a set of press -on nails. And

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.440
I was walking around my house going... I love

00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.820
that. On everything. On everything. I feel like

00:17:00.820 --> 00:17:04.000
I'm pretending, though. Like, right now. I don't

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.720
feel like I'm a grown -up. I feel like I'm pretending

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:10.559
to be a grown -up. And I'm a mother. You're an

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.500
expecting mother. I know. I don't feel like a

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:18.109
grown -up. And I... I haven't for a long time.

00:17:18.250 --> 00:17:21.170
Fair. When's the first time you felt like a grown

00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:25.230
up? I don't, I haven't. Yeah, I don't think I've

00:17:25.230 --> 00:17:27.809
ever felt. That's the God's honest truth. Honestly,

00:17:27.829 --> 00:17:30.690
when I was like 16 or 17 and I thought I was

00:17:30.690 --> 00:17:34.210
like hot shit, I felt more like a grown up then.

00:17:34.529 --> 00:17:39.009
Like when I was driving for the first time and

00:17:39.009 --> 00:17:43.380
I like had a little boyfriend and I. smoke weed

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:47.460
and do stuff and like whatever like I felt I

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:52.720
felt so grown up and cunty then and like I don't

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.380
know what happened to me but I feel like a child

00:17:55.380 --> 00:18:00.039
now well that's okay yeah I'd rather feel like

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:06.279
a child than washed up what makes you feel unhinged

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.400
I I know one for you what is it Because the one

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.640
I put on the list for you is what I know for

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:16.740
you. What is the one you know for me? Yeah. The

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:20.140
way your granny and papa set the heat in their

00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:22.759
house. That does make me unhinged. So my granny

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.440
and papa love to turn the heat up in their house

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:31.299
to... As high as it'll go. Truly. Like 78 degrees

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:35.200
any time during the year. It doesn't matter if

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.849
it's 94 degrees outside. My room was always the

00:18:39.849 --> 00:18:44.549
hottest room in the house. So consistently, my

00:18:44.549 --> 00:18:47.970
room is always, always, always 10 degrees hotter

00:18:47.970 --> 00:18:51.049
than the rest of the house. That does make me

00:18:51.049 --> 00:18:53.529
unhinge. Something that makes you unhinge is

00:18:53.529 --> 00:18:56.809
chewing noises. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's

00:18:56.809 --> 00:19:01.029
a phobia. It's called mesophonia or mesophonia

00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:04.309
or something like that. I'm not a doctor. But

00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.009
yeah, I'm not the only one. Chewing sounds make

00:19:07.009 --> 00:19:11.809
me crazy. And I have resorted now to just putting

00:19:11.809 --> 00:19:16.369
in AirPods. Because, like, here's the thing.

00:19:16.589 --> 00:19:19.890
If it's a stranger, right, they don't deserve

00:19:19.890 --> 00:19:24.470
to incur the wrath that is me. You know who does,

00:19:24.490 --> 00:19:29.670
though? Me. Yeah. So here's the problem I've

00:19:29.670 --> 00:19:33.769
always had, is that... If it's someone I don't

00:19:33.769 --> 00:19:41.190
know very well, I cannot tell them that they're

00:19:41.190 --> 00:19:45.309
being loud as fuck and rude. I can't. I just

00:19:45.309 --> 00:19:48.690
cannot. But if it's someone I love dearly in

00:19:48.690 --> 00:19:53.329
my heart, I will tell them to shut the fuck up

00:19:53.329 --> 00:19:55.990
and they are the spawn of Satan and that they're

00:19:55.990 --> 00:19:58.839
not thinking of me. and they're not thoughtful,

00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.000
and they're full of hatred. And I don't know

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:05.339
why I'm like that, but I am. Like, Kenny gets

00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:08.180
it the worst, probably, because he just will

00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:11.819
be chewing. And I'm like, I made that food for

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:15.559
you, and now you're playing in my face. My favorite

00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.380
thing ever was when we shared an office, and

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:21.619
it would be lunchtime, and we would inevitably

00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:24.799
do the hour -long fight about where are we going

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:29.160
to eat today. And it was always... It was never

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.720
not Wendy's. Yeah. I mean, there's other stuff

00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.579
sometimes. But Wendy's was preferred. Wendy's

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:39.460
was where we ate probably three out of five days

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:41.740
every single week. I love Wendy's. I do too.

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:45.240
Wendy's. Sponsor. Bestie approved. Please. You're

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.279
Bestie approved, Wendy's. Wendy. Yeah. Love your

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.259
red hair. Love your Twitter. Please, please sponsor

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:56.960
us. So. We would go get Wendy's. One of us would

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.359
go pick it up. Doesn't matter who. We would be

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.440
sitting in the office and it would be the maybe

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.900
20 minutes a day that we had to ourselves. We

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:07.599
could close the door. We could eat. We could

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.779
invite our office friends into the office. We

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:15.180
could just have a good sit and eat. And inevitably,

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:18.339
14 seconds in, Emma would look me dead in the

00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:21.220
face and go, can you turn on the Sonos? Can you

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:23.519
please turn on some music or something so I don't

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.759
have to listen to you too? That's like the kindest

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:31.559
I can be is like, can we turn some sounds on?

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:35.099
And I was so excited to just sit there and talk

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:38.240
to you. And we can talk. Okay, because here's

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.480
the thing. And I genuinely am trying to make

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.640
it an enjoyable experience for everyone because

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.400
if there is another sound happening, I'm okay.

00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.740
Like I can focus on that sound and kind of like

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:56.240
tune out the chews of it all. But when it's like

00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.119
dead silence except for chewing, I literally

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.640
want to rip out my own throat. Like I don't know

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:05.980
what it is and I really wish I could get a grip

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:08.759
on it. I probably need a prescription and a therapist.

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:14.599
I can't. I can't. And it's weird. I wasn't like

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.039
that as a child, obviously, but I remember when

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.079
it happened because I just started noticing people

00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.720
chewing and being like, oh, I don't like that.

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:29.019
I think I agree because I used to have it. Actually,

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.039
no, I still kind of have a thing about it sometimes

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:36.990
where like if it's like a very. This is... I

00:22:36.990 --> 00:22:39.490
apologize. If it's like a wet chewing noise,

00:22:39.589 --> 00:22:42.130
I can't handle it. Yeah. Like if it's like a

00:22:42.130 --> 00:22:44.309
crunchy, it doesn't bother me. But if it's like

00:22:44.309 --> 00:22:48.089
a... It's anytime I can hear someone spit. That's

00:22:48.089 --> 00:22:51.690
exactly what it is for me. Anytime. And I don't

00:22:51.690 --> 00:22:53.690
know. I don't know. I just have a weird thing

00:22:53.690 --> 00:22:56.289
with sounds, to be honest. I don't like driving

00:22:56.289 --> 00:22:59.049
in the car if there's no noise. Like Kenny...

00:22:59.390 --> 00:23:01.390
We'll start driving somewhere and just not put

00:23:01.390 --> 00:23:04.710
any music on or anything. Oh, I have to have

00:23:04.710 --> 00:23:08.809
some level of not being alone with my own thoughts

00:23:08.809 --> 00:23:12.529
in the car. I don't want silence ever. When I'm

00:23:12.529 --> 00:23:16.450
home alone, either the speaker is on or there's

00:23:16.450 --> 00:23:20.150
something on the TV. I agree. I hate silence.

00:23:20.730 --> 00:23:23.210
My therapist has talked to me a lot about this.

00:23:23.869 --> 00:23:26.410
And it's a thing where you don't want to be alone

00:23:26.410 --> 00:23:27.750
with your own thoughts because you don't want

00:23:27.750 --> 00:23:32.109
to like sit and feel. And it's true. I don't.

00:23:32.170 --> 00:23:34.650
I'm not interested in it. That's not going to

00:23:34.650 --> 00:23:37.250
be constructive for anyone. No, certainly not

00:23:37.250 --> 00:23:42.670
me. Not me. I'm so hormonal. I cried myself to

00:23:42.670 --> 00:23:46.970
sleep last night over my cat who we put down

00:23:46.970 --> 00:23:50.470
two and a half months ago. Has it really been

00:23:50.470 --> 00:23:55.089
that long? Yeah. Yeah, I cried and cried and

00:23:55.089 --> 00:23:59.210
cried last night. And when we put her down, I

00:23:59.210 --> 00:24:01.950
did not handle it well. I cried a lot then, too.

00:24:02.109 --> 00:24:05.109
But I've been okay for, like, a long time. Like,

00:24:05.150 --> 00:24:08.630
I miss her, but it's fine. Not last night, though.

00:24:08.930 --> 00:24:12.109
Last night, Kenny looked over at me, because

00:24:12.109 --> 00:24:14.490
we were just, like, reading in bed, right? Like,

00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:19.549
old people. And he was like, are you okay? And

00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:26.519
I was like, yeah. And I cry myself to sleep.

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.500
Genuinely. I'm sorry. No, I'm just like hormonal.

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:33.779
But that is what will happen if I sit alone in

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:35.599
my thoughts. I will have a mental breakdown.

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:39.119
And no one needs that. No one needs that. No

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:42.240
one needs that. Or I can sing like Whitney Houston

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.359
in my house and feel very productive. You can.

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:51.160
You know. And that's okay. What's a weird habit

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:57.099
you have? A weird habit? Yeah. I don't think

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:59.900
I have a lot of... Oh. Yes, you do. I clip my

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:06.140
cuticles a lot. There it is. There it is. Okay,

00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:12.000
so this stems back to... I started doing my own

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.980
nails at home. I spent $300 on the light. I do

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:20.900
gel. It's great. I have nails on right now. She

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:25.019
never... She... never doesn't wait she always

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:27.680
has nails never doesn't have nails right okay

00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.539
because i can do them at home and so it's not

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:33.799
expensive it just takes time and whatever the

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.880
problem you see is that part of doing my own

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.819
nails then is clipping my own cuticles and that

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:45.500
scratched the addictive part of my personality

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:47.660
like you would not believe and now i can't stop

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:51.039
i probably could clip my cuticles If not every

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.079
single day, probably every other. I don't know,

00:25:54.140 --> 00:26:00.359
a day you've missed? Yeah. I can't stop. So Emma

00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.579
and I are on FaceTime at minimum for an hour

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:09.400
every single day. And at some point, I know the

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.619
phone will be propped up against something and

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:13.539
she will pull out that little fucking cube and

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:17.279
just go to town. And she's just like, clip, clip,

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.329
clip, clip, clip, clip, clip. And then she's

00:26:19.329 --> 00:26:22.170
like, you can't stop doing it. Yeah, don't start.

00:26:22.390 --> 00:26:24.910
Don't start clipping your own cuticles because

00:26:24.910 --> 00:26:29.509
then you can't stop. It's not that, like, cuticle

00:26:29.509 --> 00:26:31.630
-wise you can't stop. Your cuticles are just

00:26:31.630 --> 00:26:35.690
cuticles. But, like, impulsively, you can't.

00:26:35.690 --> 00:26:39.569
You can't stop. It's a really hard thing. It's

00:26:39.569 --> 00:26:44.670
insane. It's insanity. Yeah, it's bad. Do you

00:26:44.670 --> 00:26:46.809
have any weird habits? Yeah, I have an obsession

00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:51.170
with buying storage and, like, organization things.

00:26:51.289 --> 00:26:54.049
Like, the number of, like, I have a drawer at

00:26:54.049 --> 00:26:57.589
home that's just drawer organizers. Like, you

00:26:57.589 --> 00:27:01.309
know I love those clear acrylic TikTok drawer

00:27:01.309 --> 00:27:03.349
organizers that I'm like, this is the perfect

00:27:03.349 --> 00:27:09.539
size for everything. I will buy, like, if I see,

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.319
like, because, you know, I have a sick obsession

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.559
with Amazon. Yeah. You know that, like, if something

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:17.440
comes up on Amazon and it's, like, a deal for

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.920
you, whenever I get that email, a deal for you,

00:27:20.099 --> 00:27:24.799
I will go into that email and I'll be like, oh,

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:28.440
a 48 -pack of these things that I have, three

00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.819
other 48 -packs that I have not opened yet. Just

00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:36.720
in case I need, like, 200, your organizer. It

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:41.809
is. $16. How can you say no to that? How can

00:27:41.809 --> 00:27:43.950
you? Yeah, and then they're like, sometimes they

00:27:43.950 --> 00:27:46.009
come in that matte black that I'm obsessed with.

00:27:46.269 --> 00:27:49.109
Right. And I'm just like, well, all right. Well,

00:27:49.130 --> 00:27:51.390
I have to get them. You never know when they're

00:27:51.390 --> 00:27:53.730
going to go away. But here's the sick thing.

00:27:55.390 --> 00:27:59.890
Some of them have, like, on the corners, different,

00:28:00.089 --> 00:28:03.539
like... I don't know how to, like, different,

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:06.059
like, cutouts. So, like, some of them have, like,

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:09.220
two on the outside of the corner, or some of

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:11.500
them have, like, one that's just on the corner.

00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:13.519
You know what I'm talking about? Like, to, like,

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.660
stop this. So you can, like, separate them. Yeah.

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:21.180
I have found that I can only have the ones with

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:23.059
the two on the outside of the corners rather

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:25.160
than the one in the middle because I hate the

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:28.859
way it looks. And so I have started to go through.

00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:32.099
This is so sick. But, like, hypothetically, you

00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:34.240
would never see how it looks because it's inside

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:40.880
a drawer. Anyway, go on. Yeah, so that's my sick

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.380
obsession. Yeah, I think that's a beautiful obsession

00:28:43.380 --> 00:28:46.279
to have, being organized. I need to be more organized.

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.220
Yeah, talk about what you want to talk about.

00:28:50.339 --> 00:28:53.960
So, okay, my TikTok feed, because I Googled this

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:58.259
when I was at the gas station getting my Alani.

00:29:00.879 --> 00:29:09.619
Alana New, please sponsor us. My TikTok feed

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:12.440
will show me things that's like, this news was

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.559
from 12 hours ago, and it's a month old. Like,

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:17.420
this is a thing that's happening right now. But

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:20.519
regardless, a month ago, this shouldn't have

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.339
been news. They found new information about the

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:27.140
Titanic. Okay. And I'm just going to ask this.

00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.400
And I ask this to the world. I ask this to our

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.460
12 listeners. I ask this to anyone that will

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:39.180
listen. Did we not already know? Like, what questions

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:44.380
do you possibly have about the Titanic? We all

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:50.220
saw the movie. I didn't. Why? I just never did.

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:53.140
I don't know that you have. I love you so much.

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:54.740
I don't know that you have the attention span

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:56.660
for that movie. It's like three and a half hours

00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:58.859
long. It's very long. And that's not a conversation

00:29:58.859 --> 00:30:01.400
I'm willing to participate in. Yeah. But do you

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.559
know, okay, this is a little bit of a side quest

00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:05.920
we're going to go on that's so sick. So, you

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.660
know I love a cruise more than anything. I love

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:13.500
a cruise vacation. Yes. Okay. Pause. Because

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:17.059
I had something I wanted to say. I was watching...

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:21.759
John Mulaney's live show on Netflix. Hi, John

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:27.500
Mulaney. I love you so much. They had one episode

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:31.579
where their through line was about cruises. And

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:36.539
they had a cruise expert there. And she... Please

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:39.380
watch it if you haven't and watch her. She gets

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:45.359
so defensive about the Titanic. Oh. She's like...

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:50.579
First of all, it wasn't a cruise. It was a liner

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:55.299
because its purpose was not enjoyment. It was

00:30:55.299 --> 00:30:58.900
to take you from point A to point B. Yes. Which

00:30:58.900 --> 00:31:02.700
makes it a liner and not a cruise ship. I don't

00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:06.500
give a fuck. She was like, you're not going to

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:10.000
sink on a cruise ship. Very much like you won't

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:13.039
have a Titanic situation on a cruise ship. I

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.000
loved it. Anyway, go on, go on, go on. It's funny

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:23.299
that you mention this because it's Carnival Cruise

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:25.440
Line specifically that I found will do this because

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.839
none of the other ones will tempt fate like this.

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:31.119
But I very vividly remember my very first cruise

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.200
was the Carnival Cruise Line cruise. It was me

00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.559
and my friend Anthony. And it was three days

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:42.089
straight of just. having a time day three rolls

00:31:42.089 --> 00:31:43.970
around we're at breakfast and there were these

00:31:43.970 --> 00:31:46.869
like straight bros that like I had fallen deeply

00:31:46.869 --> 00:31:52.410
in love with and Celine Dion my heart will go

00:31:52.410 --> 00:31:55.490
on comes on over like the buffet thing and I

00:31:55.490 --> 00:31:59.849
look up and he is one of the bros at the other

00:31:59.849 --> 00:32:03.349
table and we were we were like 22 or 23 at the

00:32:03.349 --> 00:32:05.509
time one of the bros at the other table goes

00:32:05.509 --> 00:32:08.140
come here come here and like Looks me dead in

00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:10.400
the face. Like, he says, here, stand right here.

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:13.079
And then he, like, lets me have my fantasy of,

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:15.279
like, holding me up behind the thing while it's,

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:17.180
like, in this, like, big panorama window and

00:32:17.180 --> 00:32:18.440
I was, like, living my life. That's so beautiful.

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:20.339
But I think back on that because, like, they

00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:22.519
played Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On, and

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.839
what was the other one? There was another Celine

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:28.640
Dion song. There were two Celine Dion. I don't

00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:30.720
remember. But there were two of those songs that

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.509
they just kept playing. You'd think those would

00:32:34.509 --> 00:32:37.430
be 86'd from the playlist. Oh, no, I loved it.

00:32:37.769 --> 00:32:39.950
For comfort's sake. Oh, I loved it, because I

00:32:39.950 --> 00:32:44.109
was like, there's no way. I thought it was, like,

00:32:44.130 --> 00:32:47.250
courtesy to not talk about the Titanic when you're

00:32:47.250 --> 00:32:48.829
on a cruise ship. Oh, yeah, it's the same thing.

00:32:48.829 --> 00:32:50.390
You're not supposed to talk about, like, a plane

00:32:50.390 --> 00:32:51.670
going down. You're not supposed to talk about

00:32:51.670 --> 00:32:54.569
a ship sinking. You're also not allowed to call

00:32:54.569 --> 00:32:56.190
it a boat, apparently. That's, like, a thing.

00:32:56.990 --> 00:33:00.450
Oh, I've been calling it a boat. My bad. How

00:33:00.450 --> 00:33:04.410
are you supposed to know? Okay, but yeah, continue.

00:33:04.829 --> 00:33:09.390
Yeah. Okay, so, yeah. The Titanic. Mm -hmm. They,

00:33:09.529 --> 00:33:16.049
I think it was the BBC sent down a, are you looking

00:33:16.049 --> 00:33:19.069
this up? Yes, I'm reading it. Oh my God. They

00:33:19.069 --> 00:33:21.609
sent down like 3D cameras or whatever to like

00:33:21.609 --> 00:33:25.029
image the ship. Yeah. And I thought we already

00:33:25.029 --> 00:33:27.890
knew. I was pretty sure we already knew everything

00:33:27.890 --> 00:33:29.750
there was to know about it, but apparently we

00:33:29.750 --> 00:33:37.210
know more. And what this found was that, like,

00:33:37.269 --> 00:33:41.369
it... What I'm reading says, like, we thought

00:33:41.369 --> 00:33:44.029
it was split in half, but it was more like it

00:33:44.029 --> 00:33:47.609
was violently torn apart. Right. Because what

00:33:47.609 --> 00:33:50.369
happened was, the reason it was the unsinkable

00:33:50.369 --> 00:33:52.369
ship, from my understanding, was the way it was

00:33:52.369 --> 00:33:54.849
built. And the way it was built was actually

00:33:54.849 --> 00:33:57.849
the reason it was violently torn apart. So, like,

00:33:57.910 --> 00:34:02.339
you had these, like... The segments of the ship

00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:06.799
that were keeping it afloat had a part over the

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.059
top that wasn't closed off. So it was just like,

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:11.920
as it got heavier, that's what ripped it apart,

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:15.039
I guess. Here, I don't claim to be a Titanic

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.059
expert. John Mulaney's person that was on his

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:20.780
show, come on if you want to explain it to us.

00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:26.800
But the problem that I have is like, okay, we

00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:30.949
sent down these things. It's been... Literally

00:34:30.949 --> 00:34:35.010
100 years, right? It was 1920 -something when

00:34:35.010 --> 00:34:39.949
the Titanic went down. Yeah, let me look. Why

00:34:39.949 --> 00:34:41.849
are we still finding out new things about the

00:34:41.849 --> 00:34:44.090
Titanic? Well, I just, the boat has been down

00:34:44.090 --> 00:34:47.349
there for so long, like, you'd think the first

00:34:47.349 --> 00:34:49.510
time we went to look at it, you would be like,

00:34:49.670 --> 00:34:52.269
oh, that's not split in half. That's violently

00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:55.230
torn apart. You would think. And then we, so

00:34:55.230 --> 00:34:57.590
James Cameron, I think, was the only successful.

00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.599
Yeah, successful expedition down there. Right?

00:35:00.739 --> 00:35:04.039
I think he was the only one. Really? Yeah. Oh,

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:05.579
I didn't know that. I thought people had been

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:07.940
looking at it. But I guess those billionaires

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:10.380
tried to do it and they blew up, so. The Titan?

00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:15.860
No, ma 'am. I'll stay silent on that one. I already

00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:20.679
bashed billionaires in episode one. Yeah, it

00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:25.380
was 1912. Oh. We know everything we need to know.

00:35:26.250 --> 00:35:29.550
Like, the Smithsonian came out with an article

00:35:29.550 --> 00:35:33.730
about this. Like, does it really change anything

00:35:33.730 --> 00:35:37.769
at this point? Do we not? The Smithsonian and

00:35:37.769 --> 00:35:43.050
the BBC? Is it that serious? No. Can't be. It's

00:35:43.050 --> 00:35:46.829
not. It can't be. What else is going on in the

00:35:46.829 --> 00:35:48.710
world? Do you have any opinions about anything

00:35:48.710 --> 00:35:51.329
in the world right now? I have lots of opinions

00:35:51.329 --> 00:35:54.309
over lots of things, just not specifically. Okay.

00:35:54.349 --> 00:35:58.360
Let's see. Let's see. What have I been worried

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:03.719
about? Oh! I haven't finished the second season

00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:07.639
yet, but once I have, and once you have, we must

00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.719
chat about the secret lives of Mormon wives.

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.639
Oh, absolutely. We must. I have so many opinions

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.300
and so many things I can't even say on the podcast,

00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:20.679
but we have to talk about it. A segment I want

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.199
to work into the show is where Emma and I shotgun

00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:26.530
an entire season of... Some show. I don't care

00:36:26.530 --> 00:36:29.869
what it is. Any show. And then just unpack it.

00:36:30.070 --> 00:36:33.809
Yeah. And I hope that you guys will be along

00:36:33.809 --> 00:36:36.570
for that ride because if there's one thing I

00:36:36.570 --> 00:36:41.429
love, it is reality TV. I love reality TV. I

00:36:41.429 --> 00:36:44.409
get the people that hate it. Like a lot of people

00:36:44.409 --> 00:36:48.309
in my life just don't like reality TV. I get

00:36:48.309 --> 00:36:51.329
that. It's below them. Yeah. And you know what?

00:36:51.409 --> 00:36:54.789
I guess I'm a little shrimp in the ocean. I'm

00:36:54.789 --> 00:37:01.789
a little bottom feeder. I love, love. If anything,

00:37:02.030 --> 00:37:05.829
it's more escapism to me than any other type

00:37:05.829 --> 00:37:08.369
of television. Because I'm like, look how fucked

00:37:08.369 --> 00:37:10.929
up these people's lives are. It could be so much

00:37:10.929 --> 00:37:14.550
worse for me. It's aspirational for me. I watch

00:37:14.550 --> 00:37:18.500
Real Housewives and I'm like, one day. I could

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:21.420
be on this show. One day, I'll be like Meredith

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:25.699
Marks. Oh my god, I would die to have a country

00:37:25.699 --> 00:37:28.920
jewelry line and be on TV and live the country.

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.940
To have a store that's open. I could be wrong,

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:33.820
Meredith Marks. If I'm wrong, please correct

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:36.760
me. To have a store that's open three months

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.199
out of the year only for like... Sundance. Only

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:44.849
for Sundance, yeah. That's beautiful to me. Her

00:37:44.849 --> 00:37:49.329
online site is active. It is. And I want nothing

00:37:49.329 --> 00:37:51.829
more than to be like Meredith Marks. Honestly,

00:37:51.829 --> 00:37:55.050
the first step for me is just affording Meredith

00:37:55.050 --> 00:37:59.750
Marks. I wish I could afford Meredith Marks.

00:37:59.889 --> 00:38:02.409
I wish I could afford to be Meredith Marks. And

00:38:02.409 --> 00:38:05.309
do you know what's so sick? She is so beautiful.

00:38:05.769 --> 00:38:09.159
And I don't... I don't know that she's had a

00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.659
ton of work done or any work done. I think she's

00:38:11.659 --> 00:38:13.880
had some work done, because she looks different,

00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:17.340
like, over the years. I think maybe, like, lip

00:38:17.340 --> 00:38:20.460
filler and stuff, maybe, but, like, god damn,

00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.619
she looks good. She's so pretty, and I don't

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:25.719
think people, like... acknowledge it to the extent

00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:28.659
that they should she is so stunning that but

00:38:28.659 --> 00:38:31.699
also the thing about her is is I think she had

00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:34.159
a really really good foundation to start with

00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:36.280
like you started with someone beautiful and you

00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.780
only enhanced it yeah she's naturally beautiful

00:38:38.780 --> 00:38:41.440
and I think any work that she's have had done

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:45.860
has been extremely tasteful into the point where

00:38:45.860 --> 00:38:49.659
I remember her out on the beach in that scene

00:38:49.659 --> 00:38:52.880
where at the end of season four where they find

00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.260
out, like, what Monica's doing. And there's the

00:38:55.260 --> 00:38:59.659
wind and the scarf. And she's just doing wind

00:38:59.659 --> 00:39:02.260
work. And, like, in that moment, I was like,

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.980
oh, she is serving cons. In her element. Do you

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:10.300
want to complain? Yes, I do want to complain.

00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.699
Do you want to start? I think you should start

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:15.380
because I think I have a good segue to things

00:39:15.380 --> 00:39:19.019
we don't understand. Beautiful. I want to complain

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:23.059
about people that have zero spatial awareness.

00:39:24.940 --> 00:39:32.159
So this is a thing, I think, in the Midwest that

00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.500
bleeds into other places. It's when people from

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:41.619
the Midwest go to other places. So I think back

00:39:41.619 --> 00:39:46.579
to being in New York and you would have families.

00:39:47.909 --> 00:39:52.309
basically locked arm in arm, like, taking up

00:39:52.309 --> 00:39:54.050
a whole sidewalk, and all you want to do is go

00:39:54.050 --> 00:39:56.070
past them, and then they will just stop in the

00:39:56.070 --> 00:39:57.469
middle of the sidewalk to look up and be like,

00:39:57.550 --> 00:40:00.050
it's the Empire State Building. And I was like,

00:40:00.150 --> 00:40:03.409
no, that's the Chrysler Building. Yeah, right.

00:40:03.650 --> 00:40:06.989
Because they don't know. And it was always a

00:40:06.989 --> 00:40:09.789
tourist. It was never someone from New York.

00:40:10.010 --> 00:40:12.170
Well, they say that's how you know someone's

00:40:12.170 --> 00:40:14.429
a tourist, like, in any big city, is they're

00:40:14.429 --> 00:40:17.179
looking up instead of looking... Like it's straight

00:40:17.179 --> 00:40:19.699
ahead. Yeah, because they're like enamored by

00:40:19.699 --> 00:40:22.340
the buildings. Anyway. But today alone, I've

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:27.219
experienced it twice where I pull up to the gas

00:40:27.219 --> 00:40:31.639
station. I park at a pump to pump gas. This woman

00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:35.900
has decided, no, one gas pump is not enough for

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:39.519
me. I must pull up so far that the person at

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.780
the gas pump in front of me cannot pull into

00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:49.340
that spot. Oh. separate complaint people who

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:51.719
pull up to a gas station right and it's a lane

00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:55.719
of pumps and you don't drive to the front pump

00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:59.519
what is wrong with you what is wrong with you

00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.639
now you're making someone parallel park to pump

00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:05.699
gas anyway that's a fair point yeah so then i

00:41:05.699 --> 00:41:08.340
said okay that's fine i'll just get gas later

00:41:08.340 --> 00:41:13.280
not a huge deal whatever you're so mean then

00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:18.340
i walk into The get -go. I open the door. It

00:41:18.340 --> 00:41:24.960
is these two women, middle -aged, whatever. Live

00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.619
your life. I want you to live your life walking

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:31.400
in such a way that you can't walk past them because

00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.619
of the narrowness of, like, the entrance and,

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.579
like, they have, like, the stanchion set up so

00:41:37.579 --> 00:41:40.440
you can't, like, go around. And then they just

00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:44.139
stop. And then I said, excuse me, and they didn't

00:41:44.139 --> 00:41:46.500
hear me. And then I said, Jesus Christ! And then

00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:49.559
the woman turns around and she acts like I had

00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:53.880
been the one with the problem. And I said, okay,

00:41:54.119 --> 00:42:00.159
that's fine. And so my issue is people with zero

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.780
spatial awareness because it's rude. I think

00:42:02.780 --> 00:42:05.039
there are even more examples than people being

00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:08.909
in your way. Social distancing did something

00:42:08.909 --> 00:42:11.929
for me that was so beautiful because now we're

00:42:11.929 --> 00:42:15.210
back to when you're in line at the gas station

00:42:15.210 --> 00:42:18.409
and the person behind you is a foot and a half

00:42:18.409 --> 00:42:21.010
behind you and they're breathing on your neck.

00:42:22.030 --> 00:42:24.690
It makes me want to pull out my pepper spray.

00:42:25.610 --> 00:42:27.550
You know what I do? You can't do this because

00:42:27.550 --> 00:42:30.429
you don't have hair. I flip my hair. Oh, I love

00:42:30.429 --> 00:42:33.309
that. Because if my hair hits you, you are too

00:42:33.309 --> 00:42:38.099
fucking close to me. And I think the other thing

00:42:38.099 --> 00:42:43.679
is, and I've experienced this just really several

00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.460
times in the last couple of months where people

00:42:46.460 --> 00:42:48.679
are very, very comfortable. If they're trying

00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.099
to tell you something, just getting very close

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:53.860
to you, like chest to chest, like trying to explain

00:42:53.860 --> 00:42:56.659
something to you. And I have a fun little thing

00:42:56.659 --> 00:42:58.539
where my fight or flight will kick in and I'm

00:42:58.539 --> 00:43:02.050
like, you better back the fuck. My nervous system

00:43:02.050 --> 00:43:04.849
does not know the difference between you not

00:43:04.849 --> 00:43:07.670
understanding personal space and me being attacked.

00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:10.929
Yes. I do not know the difference. And I'll tell

00:43:10.929 --> 00:43:15.769
you, Jack has no sense of personal space. Like,

00:43:15.809 --> 00:43:18.610
even for strangers. We were at Verizon this weekend,

00:43:18.670 --> 00:43:22.769
and he loves phones. Loves phones. Not just,

00:43:22.809 --> 00:43:27.210
like, to play games on them. Yeah. Not just...

00:43:27.210 --> 00:43:31.010
Not... Not to play games, not just to take pictures,

00:43:31.090 --> 00:43:34.130
not to look at YouTube. He loves the technology

00:43:34.130 --> 00:43:37.949
of a phone. He does. Right? And so the guy is

00:43:37.949 --> 00:43:40.670
on his little iPad helping us, doing his thing,

00:43:40.829 --> 00:43:44.570
doing his job. And he was a sweet angel, really

00:43:44.570 --> 00:43:46.889
a nice guy. I wish I would have gotten his name.

00:43:46.909 --> 00:43:48.550
I would shout him out. He was really so nice.

00:43:49.389 --> 00:43:54.210
Jack was like head on his shoulder watching him

00:43:54.210 --> 00:43:58.429
work. And I had to be like, dude. Not everyone

00:43:58.429 --> 00:44:01.849
likes to be touched. And you're being so kind

00:44:01.849 --> 00:44:05.030
and you're being so sweet. But part of that is

00:44:05.030 --> 00:44:08.130
giving people personal space. And I have to teach

00:44:08.130 --> 00:44:10.989
him now because I will not have him being one

00:44:10.989 --> 00:44:12.869
of those people. Like, what if he grows up to

00:44:12.869 --> 00:44:15.030
be, you know, those teachers that would get too

00:44:15.030 --> 00:44:16.809
close to you? I don't want him to be that. I

00:44:16.809 --> 00:44:18.130
don't like that. I don't want him to turn into

00:44:18.130 --> 00:44:20.429
a teacher who doesn't understand personal space

00:44:20.429 --> 00:44:23.809
or like a... Who else is really bad about it

00:44:23.809 --> 00:44:26.869
professionally? Flight attendants who don't understand

00:44:26.869 --> 00:44:28.349
personal space. For some reason, it doesn't bother

00:44:28.349 --> 00:44:30.489
me with flight attendants because in my mind,

00:44:30.510 --> 00:44:34.070
that's different from a teacher. I don't know

00:44:34.070 --> 00:44:38.190
why. Well, there's something weird about teachers.

00:44:38.449 --> 00:44:41.949
It bothers me with flight attendants only because

00:44:41.949 --> 00:44:45.210
I know that you know because you're here every

00:44:45.210 --> 00:44:49.630
day that it's tight in here. So why are you two

00:44:49.630 --> 00:44:53.300
inches from my face? Why are you doing that?

00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:59.280
A fun fact about Jack. We were at a Halloween

00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:05.599
party. And my stepmom had a phone that Jack has

00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:07.960
never seen because Jack has only ever interacted

00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:09.900
with people that live within the Apple ecosystem.

00:45:10.940 --> 00:45:14.400
And my mom loves, or my stepmom loves a green

00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:18.519
text. It's some kind of Samsung or something.

00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:21.280
Galaxy something, I don't know. He loves it so

00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:25.400
much. Jack has a Samsung A24. I don't know what

00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.239
that means. Me neither, but my stepdad gave it

00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:31.679
to him one day, and I was like, oh, perfect,

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:34.659
thank you. Thanks, Jimmy Tate. Yeah, Jimmy Tate.

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:39.880
And then Jack sees this phone and says, can I

00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:42.780
play with your phone? And my stepmom says, sure,

00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:47.420
whatever. He rode the wheels off of that thing.

00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:51.599
That's how he does it. If you give him an inch,

00:45:51.739 --> 00:45:55.860
he will take a mile. And you know what? That's

00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:57.820
not something I'm trying to beat out of him because

00:45:57.820 --> 00:46:00.000
I think it's a good trait to have in life because

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.460
I think I have been stifled by being too timid,

00:46:04.460 --> 00:46:06.460
not wanting to do too much or take advantage

00:46:06.460 --> 00:46:08.880
of anyone. No, not at all. Or even appear that

00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:11.920
I'm taking advantage of anyone. Jack's not like

00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:14.159
that. No, Jack said, tell my mom to put this

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.559
on my Christmas list. Yeah. Oh my gosh, parents,

00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.420
I have a great idea. Jack's birthday is in August.

00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:27.880
And so the day Christmas is over, the Christmas

00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.639
list is scrapped, right? But he still finds things

00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:35.619
every day that he wants. We've started a birthday

00:46:35.619 --> 00:46:39.539
list. And the birthday list will go for all eight

00:46:39.539 --> 00:46:43.119
months before his birthday. And then anything

00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:45.820
he doesn't get on his birthday, we'll just put

00:46:45.820 --> 00:46:49.559
on the Christmas list. And so we're never disappointed.

00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.340
We're always just anticipating. We're always

00:46:52.340 --> 00:46:56.920
happy to be there. Just thrilled. What are you

00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:02.599
complaining about? I want to complain about depression

00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:07.349
and anxiety. Okay. In the sense that... Why do

00:47:07.349 --> 00:47:12.269
they exist? Because it's like autoimmune diseases.

00:47:12.510 --> 00:47:19.630
It can't be evolutionarily beneficial for me

00:47:19.630 --> 00:47:23.769
to not be able to get out of bed. It cannot be

00:47:23.769 --> 00:47:28.349
evolutionarily beneficial for me to not be able

00:47:28.349 --> 00:47:32.590
to hear other people eat. There's no way that

00:47:32.590 --> 00:47:36.840
that was a way for me to survive. There's no

00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:41.440
way that that like gave me a leg up on the competition

00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:46.380
while we were adapting and evolving. I just don't

00:47:46.380 --> 00:47:49.599
understand it. And also it's your own brain,

00:47:49.699 --> 00:47:55.000
but you can't really rewire it. Like you can't

00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:00.460
make it do what you want it to do. Very short

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:02.800
complaint because I can't get into it because

00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:04.679
you want to know something I don't understand?

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:08.139
What? The human brain. No. I don't understand

00:48:08.139 --> 00:48:12.920
it. I understand what I have been taught. I can

00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:16.639
pass a test in a science class about neurons

00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:20.300
and synapses. I couldn't. And the like, well,

00:48:20.420 --> 00:48:24.360
like, if I take the course. Oh, okay, yeah. I'm

00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:26.920
losing it immediately after. Right. That's just

00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:28.500
one of those things where I don't want to know

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:31.619
how my brain works. I understand it. And I'm

00:48:31.619 --> 00:48:34.619
just like, how do we have so many issues? How

00:48:34.619 --> 00:48:39.000
do we have a personality? I don't understand

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:45.039
any of it. I don't understand it. I don't either.

00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:50.920
We should get a neurologist. Or like a brain

00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:54.500
surgeon. I would love that. I would love to talk

00:48:54.500 --> 00:48:56.860
to a brain surgeon about brains because I don't

00:48:56.860 --> 00:49:01.250
understand. The human brain. Why are we so different

00:49:01.250 --> 00:49:05.250
from all other animals? Yeah. What's wrong with

00:49:05.250 --> 00:49:07.429
their brains or what's wrong with our brains?

00:49:07.469 --> 00:49:09.449
Because it feels like our brains are the issue.

00:49:09.550 --> 00:49:13.289
You ever seen a depressed monkey? No. No. They're

00:49:13.289 --> 00:49:14.849
just out there eating bananas. It feels like

00:49:14.849 --> 00:49:18.969
our brain has brained too close to the sun and

00:49:18.969 --> 00:49:21.070
now we're having too many issues. I think you're

00:49:21.070 --> 00:49:26.110
right. Yeah. She's probably dumber. Something

00:49:26.110 --> 00:49:31.050
that we don't understand. Brains. Brains. Brains,

00:49:31.050 --> 00:49:34.550
the human brain. Speaking of which, right, I

00:49:34.550 --> 00:49:37.449
got an ultrasound when I went to the OBGYN, as

00:49:37.449 --> 00:49:42.610
they do. And it's early, right, so the baby looks

00:49:42.610 --> 00:49:46.329
creepy, like weird, like two blobs, a big old

00:49:46.329 --> 00:49:50.190
head and a big old body. And you can see the

00:49:50.190 --> 00:49:53.289
brain in there. I don't want anything to do with

00:49:53.289 --> 00:49:56.590
that. Yeah. I rebuke that. I'm sorry. What is

00:49:56.590 --> 00:50:02.500
it thinking about? Do they think? That's another

00:50:02.500 --> 00:50:07.800
question. And what is thinking? A good question.

00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.059
What is thinking? Follow -up question. You did

00:50:12.059 --> 00:50:15.260
tell me a little bit about how you watched a

00:50:15.260 --> 00:50:18.840
TikTok of babies that, like, remember being in

00:50:18.840 --> 00:50:23.400
the womb. Yes! How do they know? I don't know.

00:50:23.869 --> 00:50:26.690
Like, do they remember being born? Do they? I

00:50:26.690 --> 00:50:29.369
don't know. Because some of it, like, you just,

00:50:29.389 --> 00:50:34.110
you have to imagine is like, like, oh, it was

00:50:34.110 --> 00:50:37.449
like just being inside of a waterbed. Yeah. I

00:50:37.449 --> 00:50:39.849
think most of them are like, yeah, it was just

00:50:39.849 --> 00:50:43.530
warm and dark. But like, I think a lot of that

00:50:43.530 --> 00:50:47.750
is assumption. And my idea of it only comes from

00:50:47.750 --> 00:50:54.429
the Spice Girls movie when. They're like, yeah,

00:50:54.570 --> 00:50:56.989
it must be really great to be living inside of

00:50:56.989 --> 00:51:00.110
a waterbed. That is a direct quote from the Spice

00:51:00.110 --> 00:51:01.690
Girls movie. That's just what I assume. It's

00:51:01.690 --> 00:51:04.570
like, I don't remember it. I would imagine it's

00:51:04.570 --> 00:51:08.349
something like a sensory deprivation tank. You

00:51:08.349 --> 00:51:12.150
know those things? Yes, and I love those things.

00:51:13.070 --> 00:51:15.670
Have you ever been in one? No, my issues with

00:51:15.670 --> 00:51:19.010
silence, I fear. Oh, you get rid of all of it

00:51:19.010 --> 00:51:20.730
in there, I'm telling you right now. It's like

00:51:20.730 --> 00:51:24.389
a good hour -long reset. Maybe I should do one.

00:51:24.989 --> 00:51:27.510
Did I ever tell you about the one downtown where

00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:30.190
it was, like, this place called A Place to Float,

00:51:30.190 --> 00:51:31.989
and, like, they just stopped paying their bills.

00:51:32.030 --> 00:51:34.369
They stopped paying their employees. And, like,

00:51:34.409 --> 00:51:37.690
the place was so fucking nice. I mean, like,

00:51:37.730 --> 00:51:40.190
you walk in, and it's, like, a spa. It was gorgeous.

00:51:40.269 --> 00:51:42.869
It smelled so nice. And then one day, because,

00:51:42.969 --> 00:51:45.889
like, I had bought one of our friends a gift

00:51:45.889 --> 00:51:49.590
card. And she was like, oh, I don't really love

00:51:49.590 --> 00:51:51.329
the idea of that. And I said, okay, gorgeous.

00:51:51.429 --> 00:51:52.670
I'll use the gift card. Yeah, give it to me.

00:51:53.210 --> 00:51:56.670
And so I proceed to go to a place to float. And

00:51:56.670 --> 00:51:58.010
they just have a sign on the door that says,

00:51:58.070 --> 00:52:00.190
sorry, we're closed permanently. And I was like,

00:52:00.230 --> 00:52:03.889
okay. Oh. Yeah. Uh -oh. Yeah. You know where

00:52:03.889 --> 00:52:06.809
I've been wanting to go and I can't go now until

00:52:06.809 --> 00:52:10.250
after the baby's here? Have you seen Perspire?

00:52:12.210 --> 00:52:15.500
It's... I saw it for the first time in Florida,

00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:19.900
but now there's one at Clay Terrace that it's

00:52:19.900 --> 00:52:23.420
just saunas. It's like individual sauna rooms,

00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:26.659
and you just go sit in a sauna without having

00:52:26.659 --> 00:52:29.719
to go to the gym. Oh, they had that at the place

00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:31.840
where I used to get the IV drips. Yeah, probably.

00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:37.940
Yeah. Yeah, I love the idea of that, and I think

00:52:37.940 --> 00:52:41.250
I should partake. It's also right next to this

00:52:41.250 --> 00:52:45.389
place called Spanga. I don't really know what's

00:52:45.389 --> 00:52:46.710
happening with that. Oh, I know what that place

00:52:46.710 --> 00:52:51.449
is. It's a strength training and spin class.

00:52:51.809 --> 00:52:55.010
It's like Orange Theory, but they focus more

00:52:55.010 --> 00:52:59.329
on the cardio, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. One

00:52:59.329 --> 00:53:01.809
of my family friends said she goes there, and

00:53:01.809 --> 00:53:04.630
she's all of a sudden ripped. She's always been

00:53:04.630 --> 00:53:06.849
skinny and beautiful and gorgeous, but now she's

00:53:06.849 --> 00:53:11.010
like... Ripped. Oh. Which is insane. Anyway.

00:53:12.869 --> 00:53:15.409
What else? What else is going on? I don't know.

00:53:15.409 --> 00:53:17.389
What else do we want to talk about? Well, we're

00:53:17.389 --> 00:53:21.130
almost at time. Yeah. I feel like there was something

00:53:21.130 --> 00:53:25.309
we said we were going to talk about. The old

00:53:25.309 --> 00:53:29.789
wives, tales of knowing. Yeah. Yeah. I can talk

00:53:29.789 --> 00:53:34.159
about that if you want. If you want, do it. So

00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.659
they have this new blood test now that you can

00:53:37.659 --> 00:53:39.880
take super early in your pregnancy. Like, I've

00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:42.880
already had my blood drawn for it. And it tells

00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:47.800
you the gender of your baby, amongst other things,

00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:52.059
obviously. But in the meantime, I've been convinced

00:53:52.059 --> 00:53:56.000
that it's a girl because there are things in

00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:58.179
this pregnancy that are different than my first.

00:53:58.219 --> 00:54:00.599
Like, I'm super nauseous and I wasn't with Jack.

00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:06.260
My hair is super curly. And anyway, so I want

00:54:06.260 --> 00:54:09.340
to talk about all the old wives tales about,

00:54:09.500 --> 00:54:14.699
like, what the sex of your baby is. Because it

00:54:14.699 --> 00:54:16.980
used to be you had to wait until the baby was

00:54:16.980 --> 00:54:22.159
born to find out. Like, my dad is a twin, identical

00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.159
twin. And they told my grandma she was having

00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.280
one girl. And she came home with two boys. And

00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.139
I think the reason is, one, I think it's a wives'

00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:37.599
tale, but doctors kind of feed into it, too.

00:54:38.300 --> 00:54:42.840
They say if the heartbeat is really fast, it's

00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.420
a girl. And if it's on the lower end, it's a

00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:47.639
boy. So I'm wondering if they heard two heartbeats.

00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:49.179
They heard two heartbeats, and they thought it

00:54:49.179 --> 00:54:52.440
was really fast. Yeah. Yeah. So that's one of

00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.670
them. There's the ring one. The ring one is the

00:54:55.670 --> 00:54:58.510
most popular one I've heard of. Yeah, you put

00:54:58.510 --> 00:55:01.489
a ring on a string and you dangle it over your

00:55:01.489 --> 00:55:06.769
belly. And if it goes in a circle, I think it's

00:55:06.769 --> 00:55:09.150
a boy. And if it goes straight back and forth,

00:55:09.230 --> 00:55:11.329
it's a girl. Have you done it? Those might be

00:55:11.329 --> 00:55:13.630
opposite. I have not done it because it feels

00:55:13.630 --> 00:55:20.550
like I'm hexing my baby. Anyway. They say that

00:55:20.550 --> 00:55:24.510
if you're craving something sweet, it's a girl,

00:55:24.610 --> 00:55:27.110
and if you're craving salty savory, it's a boy.

00:55:27.429 --> 00:55:30.750
Well, I must always be pregnant with a boy. Constantly,

00:55:30.769 --> 00:55:35.070
every day. Yeah, every single day. And what are

00:55:35.070 --> 00:55:37.190
the other really common ones I've heard? Your

00:55:37.190 --> 00:55:39.510
hair is dry, it's a girl. Your hair is dry, it's

00:55:39.510 --> 00:55:43.840
a girl. Oh, oh. Here's one that I believe is

00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:46.860
rooted in misogyny. They say if you're super

00:55:46.860 --> 00:55:50.699
emotional, it's a girl. Oh, Jesus Christ. Cannot

00:55:50.699 --> 00:56:00.440
be true. Just please. I... They do say, like,

00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.539
girls... The dry hair thing made me think of

00:56:02.539 --> 00:56:05.579
this. They say that girls, like... take all your

00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:08.099
beauty away. Like they're the ones who make you

00:56:08.099 --> 00:56:11.139
have the really big pregnancy noses and your

00:56:11.139 --> 00:56:13.840
nails and your hair is breaking and all of that

00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:16.139
stuff. I hate everything about that. I think

00:56:16.139 --> 00:56:19.260
it's all kind of misogynistic if I'm being honest.

00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:25.519
They also say that girls give you acne. The long

00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:29.559
and short of it is we hate women. That's what

00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:31.639
the message is. Some of the weirder ones are

00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:35.980
like If you're having a boy, they make your feet

00:56:35.980 --> 00:56:39.659
cold. What? Yeah, like you need to wear socks

00:56:39.659 --> 00:56:42.539
all the time because your feet are cold. Then

00:56:42.539 --> 00:56:46.679
it's a boy. What's another one that's kind of

00:56:46.679 --> 00:56:50.059
weird? Oh, pregnancy brain. They say if you're

00:56:50.059 --> 00:56:53.440
forgetting stuff a lot, then it's a boy, which

00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:55.800
is also kind of just sexist. I think that's just

00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:58.219
what we think of men is that they forget stuff

00:56:58.219 --> 00:56:59.719
all the time. It's okay. You can forget things.

00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:03.500
I don't know. They're all kind of weird. I don't

00:57:03.500 --> 00:57:07.360
think any of them really work. I do think that

00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:10.760
heartburn is indicative of you having a baby

00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:12.500
with a full head of hair, though. Because that

00:57:12.500 --> 00:57:14.400
happened to me the first time. I had a wicked

00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.940
heartburn, and then Jack was born with a full

00:57:16.940 --> 00:57:21.360
head of hair. Really? Mm -hmm. And not like some

00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.539
babies lose their hair. Like they're born with

00:57:23.539 --> 00:57:24.900
hair, and then they lose it, and it grows back.

00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:27.780
He never lost his hair. Really? Mm -hmm. Yeah.

00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:29.980
And I think that's why my heartburn was so bad.

00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:33.500
I'm convinced. You're probably right. I believe

00:57:33.500 --> 00:57:38.599
that. Well, friends, that brings us to the end

00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:41.639
