This is good stuff.

We're off to a hot start. Yeah. Yeah.

Welcome to the show. This is trippy it probably is for you. It's not like that Wild. Okay. I mean you just said this is trippy. It is trippy, but it's not like whoa Yeah, oh my god. It's like yeah. Yeah, it's just like we knew this was happening. Yeah, no 100% for months and I prepped

Yeah, my did you listen to my episode with Damien Amanda? Yeah, I prepped that was my prep, being like, what is Shane like? Yeah, and I feel as if I'm ready for this challenge. But I'm also just ready, I feel like, we talked about this, I feel like I never just sit down with you without a game in front of us.

Yeah, and we just do, we do so much group stuff. I guess we had Gardik phone, where we were hanging out, but rarely are you one- one with people. Yeah. So like Amanda's kind of the only person that I really feel like I've Yeah, I've just had so much conversations with truly, when we started Smosh mouth. I had not had many of those moments with

Amanda. Yeah, so it's trippy. And then you like, you learn

your dynamic. I also just just just the pattern of the show, I love this show, but it always takes me a bit because it is so different than all of our other stuff because it's just hanging out.

It truly is.

And just telling yourself, you're enough, you don't have to do bits. I already did a bit right at the top. I didn't need to.

I could've just fucking hung out. But it was a bit. You're allowed to do bits. Wait, I'm dying to see what's behind me. I was trying to ignore it. Oh, yeah Yeah, the art made a board that and this is who you are Whoa, so there's Shakespeare for those listening. There's a portrait of Shakespeare and that looks like a yes of I Shakespeare That's a pretty pretty good Shakespeare. I don't think he looked like that. I think God that's really put there put really put their all into that.

But he looks like chiseled with like.

I feel like that's the standard Shakespeare portrait.

He looks like a step away from death, if you see like the real. That looks like he's like.

Do you think it's one of those things where we don't know how he actually looked or is that how he actually looked I mean some people sometimes have you heard the theory that he's not real that he just never wrote that stuff Yeah, sometimes I'm like I'm a hop skipping to jump away from believing that or that it was like multiple people Yeah, kind of compiled it. Yeah, yeah Shakespeare knows who knows if he even looked like that plagiarism had to go crazy back in The Renaissance. Oh my god, just be like I wrote that and they'd be like, well, we have no proof

Even like kids writing essays They didn't have chat GBT Like if you used I can't even think about being a kid now when you can have not an essay and yeah

Anyway, oh my god, that's my favorite one. Yeah you in the lime shirt dressed as me Wow and then ham cake Yeah, that looks disgusting. It looks awful. I thought it was salmon cake at first, but no that's ham No, that's a different sketch that we will write soon. We kept Hank Green's $2 bill there. That's awesome Yeah, very cool, and then your baby Wow What a great picture of Cho and then Selena wrote are they compatible hosting a podcast together gun to your head are we compatible? Gun to your head water gun to your head I think any to any combination of two people at Smosh could host a podcast it would crush. Okay, I agree

Okay

Yeah, anything the weirdest I don't know if me and Ian could do it. I think you could do it

I think people would be there for it Been on any good freeways lately? Uh. No, Ian. It's like the Ches Sapphire rewards program. Yeah, how he's now hating on it. He, Ian. We just traveled with Ian and he wouldn't shut the f*** up. Ian will like be the bearer of bad news so often where you're like, oh yeah, this this this cool thing. He's like, no, you shouldn't do that It's actually bad. Wait, do you actually do that? You shouldn't do that. No, it's actually a huge scam

You could put your credit card down. He's like, are you part of that rewards program? Whoa, dude, you're losing a lot of money

Yeah, and then you just got to kind of sit in it screwed over, unfortunately. All right, thanks, man. Anyway, I'll pick up the bill.

Huge bummer.

Anyways, I'll put my card down. Just don't look at it, man.

Okay, and then there's, I've seen your side before, but it's really good. It's nice to look at them all.

Yeah, it's sick.

It's really cute.

No, our art department really is incredible. They're doing so much stuff all the time. They do a great job. I love the color of the curtains. Yeah, it's really... I love the burnt orange. Yeah, I love a good burnt orange.

In your original Smosh Mouth photoshoot, aren't you guys in roller skates?

Not in roller skates, but we're in just like very, like, 70s... Are we in roller skates? No.

Why do I have in my head that you guys are in roller skates?

It's very 70s aesthetic. Okay. Okay. Um, we were kind of going for like sunny and share type of Oh, I love that. And, uh, and I know I'm only doing like a couple episodes, but we have

a whole photo shoot planned, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whole like five looks. Yeah. Yeah.

It's going to be huge. Uh, we're gonna put them on billboards around LA. here. That'll be great All right. Well, we're just hanging out today

We're gonna see if I think we like like what goes on underneath the fun competitive fun stuff Like are we are we a good vibe? Yeah. Yeah, like we're gonna see how these next few weeks are gonna go Yeah, a lot of people think we have sibling energy. Uh-huh. Why do you think that is I?

Think because you don't want to kiss me? Yeah, that could be part of it. Yeah, that could be one of them, I guess. I see the sibling stuff all the time. And I think it's because very early on with you starting here at Smosh,

I think we both clocked like, oh, we both can trash talk. Yeah. And we do not mind it. Yeah. We think it's funny. Yes. Um, and I think there's other people too, that we, you know, that you can do it like Trevor. Yeah. Trevor's like, but what's funny is I think fans, some fans're like, they're being mean to Angela. Like Shane is being so mean to her. And same with Trevor, I saw a TikTok where it was like, Trevor's in a video and they're being mean to him. It's so great.

And I'm like, oh, if only they knew like when we cut, we're like laughing about it. Like that's funny to us. Like getting roasted is funny and roasting other people is funny, but I only do it with people that I'm like, okay, it's gonna land

Yeah, it's like when you see those dogs and they're just like you hear like I at the dog park I remember there was two different sounds when dogs are like hardcore playing It sounds kind of crazy, but you can tell the difference between like Yeah, so that was a little ASMR. That was really good. You're still playful.

You're like Cesar Millan.

Yeah, oh yeah.

You understand their behavior.

I used to love Cesar Millan videos.

Dude, that was the vibe for a while.

For a while.

In the 2000s, we were all, everyone was obsessed.

And he really wasn't doing much besides just being like, it's not the dog, it's you. It's you, you're the problem. And every time it hit.

It was incredible. There wasn't like a situation where it was like, oh, he's a hoax or he's a scam, right? I always feel like sometimes like 10 years later, you'll be like, oh, but did you hear like it was all a scam? There was like four dog handlers back there? They would swap out the dog with a better behaved dog. I feel like that shit happens all the time.

That would be crazy if they had twins but dogs. Do other animals have twins?

Why have I never thought of that?

Me neither.

They have to.

Wait, hold on. Are we the only species with twins?

We're like identical twins.

Can two birds be born out of their mother's p*** at the same time?

I guess I wouldn't know, like you see a, you see like a horde of penguins, it's not like you're like, well they're all, some of them gotta be twins.

They all look-

Which one of you are twins?

Come on, which one of you guys are twins? Which one of you guys are twins? So this is what you're in for for the next few weeks is a lot of penguin jokes, some Cesar Millan jokes. A lot of twin shit. This episode of Smosh Mouth is brought to you by ZocDoc. Angela, do you

What was that

Back to the show I had it. Okay, so I did think I was thinking of some questions these past few days first off You're drinking a cup of coffee Who do we think is drinking more coffee like lately like on the regular me or you me or you?

Okay, let's talk about it. All right. So this is this your first cup drinking more coffee like lately, like on the regular. Me or you? Me or you.

Okay, let's talk about it.

All right, so is this your first cup?

Yeah, which is why I'm drinking it now because usually I try to have my first cup before we roll. Sometimes I don't time it right.

Do you just straight black coffee? Nothing in it?

First cup is black.

First cup is black.

Yeah.

Okay. Throughout the day, we add more treats to it.

Okay. Do you like, are they separated or do you kind of just keep refilling the cup?

Depends, depends. But I, yeah. Okay, so you like a hot coffee all the time is what I've noticed about you.

I can do, I like a cold brew.

Oh really?

I do a cold brew. Afternoon coffee order you're getting something warm. Usually. Yeah, it depends I in the afternoon I never feel like I finish it. It's it's also it's tough because like if I'm doing reddit stories or something I'm afraid of like ordering like a latte because if there's milk, I think that affects how you talk you think right?

Doesn't it kind of like I know that kind of way saying like it dehydrates you

I'm kind of like yeah, it can kind of affect speech a little bit, make it a little bit harder. I've heard, so I just kind of take that. So I feel like I sometimes order like an iced coffee or cold brew. But I think it varies. I'll feel differently.

Top of the day, you're having a black?

Top of the day, hot coffee. I make my own, decent amount and I do over the course of like from when I wake up to Probably like 11 a.m. I'm drinking that whole thing that that whole thing Yeah, so like now that's like two or three cups You drink more coffee than me, but I but I kind of stop usually by by noon I rarely drink coffee in the afternoon. You don't have your 4 p.m. cup?

I don't really do a 4 p.m. cup that much.

My 4 p.m. cup is more important than my 8 a.m. cup.

I might drink more coffee in the morning, but I stop at a certain point. I think you drink more coffee throughout the whole day, so we might be kind of tied.

Yeah, but also, it is interesting because I think my culture around caffeine completely shifted when I started working here. I think it's a brain thing. I don't think it has anything to do with how much coffee I like. I think for some reason at the top of every video,

it's like I can have a placebo. It could really be like not.

It's the ritual of it.

I need a little something to be like, and we begin.

Right.

There's a whole thing right now, my friend, Will Berner, he's a star kid, but he was on Broadway and he was like, everyone on Broadway needs a Celsius before the show. Yeah. And now it's just becoming a thing.

Where like, you just, like, it's just wild though, because it's just your brain being like, okay, I'm about to do this thing, like a performer thing, I don't know what it is, but being like, I need to like spice it up.

I only recently, and what I don't touch is energy drinks, right? But recently I've done a couple. And it's because we had a couple times, so we were in Canada, you, me, Courtney, and a few others, and we had a show that ended at like,

it ended pretty early, but then we went to another improv show We watched dropout doing it was a long and it ended 1130 And then we knew we had to leave for the for the plane at 4 30 in the morning Yeah, so all of us collectively decided we're just not gonna go to bed

We realized that that previous nights the parties had been ending at about 2 or 3 So we're like if we go out and we talk to all these people that we just watched perform, we're going to be talking to them for a bit. It's going to be like, if we don't get out before one, it's not worth it.

We recognize we're all going to at max get sleep for like an hour and a half, two hours. So you might as well, our logic was you might as well just power through. I know that ultimately any amount of sleep is better than powering through.

I don't buy that at all.

I think any amount of sleep is better for you. No. It's better health-wise. You might feel shittier because you are falling asleep and coming back up, but.

You think?

I think sleep is one of those things where like, no matter what, it's good can get it's yeah, there's a limit of how much sleep you yeah, you can start oversleeping and that's bad, but I

Wonder though if you're getting an hour if you're even hitting REM and if it was even worth it because if it's not yeah I don't even know what the fuck REM is, but I learned what REM like someone told me about it REM Yeah, like well if I didn't get enough REM

I know it is REM. I'm not even entirely sure either, but I need it.

But I also need to know if birds can have twins.

Yeah, can birds have twins? What is REM?

We're asking the real questions here.

Someone get Hank Green on the phone.

But that night I was like, all right, I'm going to drink a Red Bull.

Oh yeah, I did see you drink a Red Bull.

I drank a Red Bull and I got through the type. I usually- Did you feel buzzed? I felt, I definitely felt a little crazy. I wasn't even drinking any alcohol that night, but I was like, whoa, like I'm feeling this. Cause I do not drink them. And then recently I did the show, the dread show at Dynasty. And our show is at 7.30 PM.

We had filmed all day here. So I was like, oh man, I'm feeling a little sleepy. I need to be up and aware. So I drink a Red Bull right before going out on stage. So I drank one at 7.15 p.m. And I was amped for that show. And then I got home and I went to bed at midnight, right? And I was like, oh yeah, I'm able to sleep on caffeine.

I woke up at 5.30 in the morning. I woke up at 530 like Like and I was like already my mind was like have you thought about this? Have you thought about this? You should be pissed off about this and I was like, whoa Like what I woke up my brain was already mad about stuff and I was like Much about me. It's like what is going on? I usually wake up and I'm I I'm an early morning person normally

but I wake up and you just have that moment where you're just like, what's going on? Like, all right. And I've never woken up where my brain is moving at that pace. I was like, damn.

I might get emotional. Maybe that's my problem.

A drinking caffeine later in the day is bad for you. You can drink, I think you can drink a lot of caffeine as long as you stop at a certain time I'm not a doctor. Okay, not take my advice too hard because I grew up this research Yeah, I'm always scared to say research for yourself because some people when they research for themselves They end up it's like giving a little place. But yeah water gun what I've heard more than anything is is How far from going to sleep you drink caffeine is more important than anything. But then I go into like,

if I've been doing it since I was a kid, oof, that's stark, but I mean like, in my household, it was like espresso after dinner.

Sure, I think there's variations because espresso's not the same as like an energy drink.

That is the devil's lettuce in another way.

What do you mean? The energy drink, I just think you're right. You're you're so energy drink is fucking Psychotic like what are we right like you ever had a for a while ago? I think I have not but I've heard so many stories about for love I have friends who have the most insane for loco stories from when it was for loco Yeah, what the when you're the original for loco for the kids, you know, it was extra Loko. Millennials can tell you the Loko stories. You're wondering why all Millennials are cringe?

Because we're drinking that f**king gasoline.

Because we're still coming down from the Four Lokos.

Half of my membrane or whatever the f**k's back there is gone because I was drinking Four Lokos when my brain was trying to grow.

Our brains are all small beans because we were drinking for loco. It's like taking a piss on a little sprout Yeah, my god. I was I was I won't say who and I won't tell the whole story because that's theirs to tell I will say I have a friend who was like we drink for locos We woke up the next morning and we had decorated for Christmas and it was August I was like, that's awesome. I was like, holy shit.

I never had one, I was terrified. I was terrified of Four Locos.

Let's get them on the phone. Let's do a branded live show. And it's the last Under the Influence we ever did.

We drink Four Locos. No, but the Four Locos now are not, now they've pared them down quite a bit. Because back in the day They're like, yeah, it's the equivalent of five cups of coffees and seven beers. I'm like that's called dying. That's you're gonna die Also right now it cuts to this episode of sponsored brought to you by four loco for loco

Okay, I remember my first were loco was everyone at UCLA there was one weekend where they would pick to all go to Vegas

God you're at UCLA when for local

Great, and you guys wonder why I don't know a lot of logic. I don't remember anything man What was the flavor? I don't even fucking remember twisted Ball cruncher. Arctic twist. Conservative. This one's half-calf. Oh my God.

So I remember the first time I ever had one. We were all in Vegas. Everyone at UCLA picks one weekend to go to Vegas. And then you're walking around Vegas, and it looks like UCLA, because everyone's there. And it's like big school, big decision,

everyone goes right there.

Big decision.

Big decision. So then I was young in my alcohol drinking life. I had just kind of started. So I remember I had a sip of one and I'm drinking it and my and I'm like I'm Fucking feeling the best I've ever felt in my life. Okay, and I'm like, oh my god. This is this is life This is all these lights are gorgeous

Everything in this Vegas is the most gorgeous place in the world. And then my friends are literally going don't tell her no, it's okay I think it'll figure out. No, I don't think so. And I was like, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on guys? And they're like, um No, we should I was like guys what's going on?

So your your your cheek is twitching like crazy and we don't want it to freak you out

Like my cheek was like five sips into a four-leaf

What do you mean I think it's just gonna freak her out. And I was like. Your mouth is migrating to your forehead. Don't tell her, just don't tell her. What's going on you guys?

And it was all my improv friends. And okay, wait, I'll say this story really fast because I just remembered it. That night, the Four Loko night, me and all my improv friends, we were like, okay, we don't have a room to stay in. We like only stayed one night and we decided to stay another night. But we were like all these frats and sororities,

they have all these big suites. And we were like, we'll go to one of them and we'll know somebody and we'll just lay down.

That's out of this world.

It's crazy. And only improvisers drinking for locos could decide to do you're gonna improvise like we were just like oh We'll be like a personality hire and just kind of lay down on the ground So then so then we're going up and then we see one of the housekeeping carts and we grab a ton of sheets Okay, okay. Great. So we're just literally plug and play We'll just like literally walk in hang out and just fall asleep. I'm gonna walk in with a bunch of sheets. And then yeah, one of us like put them in the corner and the rest of us all just started hanging out. It's like a big party in this suite or whatever. And it was

like all these like cool UCLA people. And we're hanging out and then at some point we like try to start to lay down. And then someone's like, hey, you guys got to get up. You're not, you didn't pay for the room. And then it's like me and like six of my buds, right we get up and we leave

Walking out and my friend goes we left the sheets

And my friend goes we got to get the sheets. We get those sheets on the door and I'll never forget They're like, what's up? We're like, we want our sheets

We want our beds that we brought to your hotel. They're like fine. Go get him and

Holy

How many of you were there of this improv team? Um, there's six of us I think six people tried to walk into a hotel suite and go to bed

And then I took a nap on a slot machine woke up and it's fine

You took a nap on a slot machine. I kind of just like I Guess you know what to be fair I see old people doing that all the time when I go to Vegas and if they can do it so can we yeah That's true. Wow. We should go to Vegas together That'd be crazy. Do you like to gamble you'd be unhappy? You'd hate it we need to go you'd hate it. I you know, what's funny

I actually don't like to gamble that much. I think you like to gamble when that's not a game. I don't like to gamble money. Okay, I enjoy chance I enjoy games of chance I love like in video games when there's a chance element or board games when there's a chance element because that's just fun because it's I mean day at the races the original gamble. Yeah Mario party day at the races. It's the best What a gamble, but when I'm in Vegas, I actually don't find myself gambling that much because I do have bad luck when it comes to gambling in Vegas. So I don't, it has a bad taste in my mouth because I've just not won that much.

Yeah, I've worked with you for a couple years and I know you always roll low.

It's actually kind of shocking.

It's like pretty remarkable how you always roll low.

I say this, I've said this before where like I'm, where I'm a skeptic, I'm very skeptical of everything. The only times in my life that I believe in the divine or the supernatural is when my luck is terrible. Because when things go right, I'm like, oh yeah, things went like that, we got lucky there, whatever, it just seems kind of random. But when things go wrong, they go wrong so perfectly, that I'm like, that's gotta be something.

And so, like, truly, I'm like, there's gotta be something there. That went so poorly in a way that challenges me in such a specific way where I'm like, oh, right, that's a sign.

I'm actually thinking about that for that Christmas dread, when it was like, you rolled so low,

so then you became Santa. Or like Santa jumped into your body. I got unlucky in that way. But yeah, in all of Bath Legacy, and when we played D&D, I truly.

Consistently bad.

Like I would roll well sometimes, but the average was so low.

Always so low.

The average roll, like if you totaled it all up, divided it, it had to have been like three to seven. Like it had to have been in that low range. It was shocking.

But that's weird. I feel like, okay, so do you think you have bad luck?

No, I think, okay, if I'm buying into, if we're gonna talk about luck here, I think I'm actually an extremely lucky person.

I think you are too.

I'm extremely lucky where I have bad luck is just located in these games of chance. And I'm fine with that, because I can choose not to gamble. But I have bad luck when it comes to dice and parking. Parking I think I have, actually I have pseudo bad luck, because I'm gonna always find a parking spot, but it's just not gonna be close.

Whereas I know some people, like my dad and my mom will be, she'll be like, we're gonna find a spot right right up close He always does yeah And it'll just truly like someone will pull out right at the front and he just always finds that and some people have that type

Of luck. Yeah, my parents always have that luck where they're always in line

The line was not a line and then you look back and they're like glad we got here at the right time Luck to have my parents have that luck in a big way I think a type of I don't think this is luck But Courtney and I I feel like have good luck with like waiters being really cool, but I think we're just really chill to waiters Yeah, I think you guys so I think we get a lot of like free shots. Sometimes we don't want them

We don't do shots people bring them and we're like no no like see I'm I have really bad luck and then randomly Incredible and then back to bad back. Maybe that's just how luck works I don't know but like it'll just be so bad like my car has been stolen Twice, holy shit, bro, right and then but then sometimes like I'm like Just like sometimes I'll roll like sometimes you get a free car. Sometimes the cars just fly at me. And then I got hit by a car. I was like, hey, car. And I went in it, drove it. Got into the passenger seat, stole it. And then looked at the registration in my name. You've had two cars stolen? Literally. Holy crap, dude. And in this day and age, is what they say,

it's so stupid to get your car stolen because they could find it So fast is what the cops told me they were like, don't worry. I'm stealing a car is so lame right now This happened to mild miles Benson york recently, too. He's got his car stolen and the cops at the same thing. They were like We're gonna find it You just have to hope it has all its shit in it. Like, because people will take it for a joyride and then take apart, but then they find it because they're like with the uh license plate bullshit they can find it so fast. Did they find your cars? Yeah. Both times? Yeah. The second time is pretty known,

I've told you about it. I've told you my story when my car was stolen with dogs inside of it. Yes. Found the car then and then the first time it was it was like my first car ever I had a rav4 and I guess rav4s at that model were really easy to steal didn't know. Wow and you got that one back. Um yeah it was stranded somewhere in like a field or something and it the radio was

gone. Whoa. Yeah. I um and by the way for for listeners who haven't heard the story you had a car stolen with dogs but all the dogs were okay. The dogs were okay

So was I and so was the car? But it was a very it's a very long-winded story that I've tried to say in a minute under I can't But yeah, my car was stolen with a bunch of dogs that I was walking

I cannot think of a worse situation Like just as far as like agony and stress and anxiety goes like oh my god

It's like I remember all the dog walkers in that in the community because I was like I would go to the dog park every day With with my job every one of them was like we can't believe this happened to you We've all been doing this for 20 plus years and this happened to you So I was like that's the kind of luck I get where it's like a little performative, where it's like, wow, this bad luck is bad.

Yeah, that's like a movie, like a TV show.

This was a little bit written to be bad luck.

Come on, please. They'd get in the car full of dogs and they would drive off with it.

And they found the dogs walking together, come on.

That's the only wholesome part of that story that the dog's stuck together. It's really good. Wow, holy crap. I one time left my car unlocked and someone stole the airbag out of it.

Perfectly?

You could take that out?

Perfectly, I hop in, I see that my door is slightly ajar when I walk up to my car and I'm like, oh shoot, what does this mean? And I get in and truly the steering wheel just empty, like on the middle part just they had perfectly taken it out I take it to a shop and they go whoever took this was an expert. They're like this person rocked It's the airbag cuz they're like they're like had they like ripped it out

Like done done terribly you would be replacing so much more because they perfectly took the airbag out They knew exactly how to do this. All you have to do is replace this airbag. I was like, thanks thief. Thanks, dude Hey, hey, thanks going scalpel. Thanks bad guy like three and up like immaculate It was just crazy to see like this or wheel without the middle chunk. That's good luck I was like, okay as far as bad luck goes, that's good luck They also stole my saxophone which was in my trunk. Oh, that's so sad and lame to be fair

It had been in my trunk. To be fair. That's so sad and lame. To be fair, it had been in my trunk for years. Your saxophone?

They took my saxophone in my airbag.

Oh boy, my saxophone's gone.

I was never gonna play that thing again.

Sapphire, guys.

Sapphire, my favorite.

My saxophone's gone, guys. Okay, here's a sibling dynamic thing I wanna ask you about. Okay. can revisit it later, but something, I'm just floating. I wanna get a new car, I don't know what to get.

I'm not the one to ask about a new car. I've been driving the same car forever.

Because I wanted to get a Prius, but people take the shit out of the Prius.

Oh, do they?

People take the catalytic converter. And I'm like, so what do we get?

What's an affordable, I don't fucking know. And I've been driving the same car for I've been driving the same car I was driving the same car before I Got the car I got when I was 17 it got totaled cuz I got rear-ended So hard that I hit the car in front of me and they hit the car in front of them And they hit the front of them for four cars. It was crazy, bro It was I got my car like got lifted off the ground. It got hit so hard. We're okay? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was fine. Whoa. Yeah, I was perfectly fine I did not like seriously not it somehow miraculously. Good luck. Yeah, nothing wrong

but The lady like lady in front of me gets out She's like what the heck and the lady in front of her gets out and she's going And I was like this person's screwed I was like that sucks and I was getting calls from an insurance company for like a year or so, being like,

yeah, have you suffered any injuries or whatever? And I'm just like, no, like whatever. But I'm like, oh, I know that person's

getting insurance payout.

This is like a very dumb thing about me. I'm more afraid of like fender benders than like a big ass car accident. I'm terrified of both. But like, because the hassle of like a car accident, of like insurance forever.

I'm just like, yeah, that's that. Now you're dealing with that forever.

What if I told you I've been in a lot?

I've been in a couple car accidents. I've been in? Eight. Eight car accidents? And I'd say four of those

are fender benders but they were pretty. Like once I was driving on the 101 and a and a big truck rear-ended me and my entire glass window came flying. Like it felt like it was raining. I was driving didn't feel the hit my god all this glass Holy yeah, bro. There was just like a bad car karma. I had for like three years four years

You're saying karma. What did you do to? Oh?

No, I didn't ask for it. No. I didn't know I didn't earn it. You're just bad luck

Yeah, it's bad luck just yeah, but now it's done at you. Yeah, it's done I think you got it all out of the way truly

I got all my car shit for my entire life out of the way

I wonder what the average amount of car accidents is for an American. I feel like it's it's got to be like it's shockingly I think it's gotta be like. I'm trying to drive my Jeep On the opposite side of the freeway drinking my four loco and people just don't get out of my way Three to four is the average how terrifying is that shit? That's so scary. I hate him. I hate cars I'm really like I'm always a little I'm always actually very scared when I'm in a car What really freaks me out is now it's the norm to have a dash cam. I know because it's just like yeah It's truly where it's Mad Max. We're already in it. It's awful God

Anyways, anyways, I wrote out some questions stuff too. All right

Sick JK. I'm just gonna go on myspace

Okay I'm pulling up go on myspace Okay I'm pulling up my shit. All right. Hold on. Okay, okay All right. Mm-hmm Oh the first question I had we've already kind of covered it was like do we hate each other? Yeah, no

No, I think you could like any moment where we're like actually at each other's throats. I think you could see it's making us laugh

It's very funny. Yeah, and then followed up with that is now that we're actually sitting here talking Do you actually like mater from cars? Yeah, let's talk about it So I like the other day you were like, you know, I don't actually there's not a lot of love there So many fans are crushed right? I hate. There's not a lot of love there.

I do hate that What's His Face gets all the attention.

Lightning McQueen?

Yeah, What's His Fuck? That's all.

I feel like they split the attention pretty well

from the franchise. No, I think every single little Rollie Kid backpack is Lightning McQueen.

I guess that's true.

And I feel bad for our beloved Tomator But I actually don't really give a shit and you can even see in that clip You say you you make me laugh so hard by being like you love Mater and that idea makes me laugh so hard that I'm Like I love that. I want to love him. Yeah, I'm gonna be hurt by this. Oh

Yeah

Okay, I did something crazy. Okay, and so I have to I have to kind of go through this but one of my best friends recently wants to get engaged with her partner. Oh shit. And she goes we're doing 186 questions. I was like what? 186 questions? And she goes have you heard of the 180 oh 183 183 questions and it's the it's like this thing people use and it's a hundred and eighty three Questions to answer before getting hitched

Whoa, and listen, I know you're taking there's a new one of these every every day because I know Selena has the like the

36 questions to fall in love. Yes. Yes, but this one is like I thought this one was just fascinating because she said that they spent Like two months every like a couple nights would sit with a couple of them talk and by the end they finished and they got divorced and and he walked out.

And they broke up.

No but he I she wouldn't mind me talking about this he was just slower and she was more ready and by the end he just went all right I'm ready.

Wow.

And I asked her to send it to me. That's so cool.

Some of them are crazy.

Interesting. Yeah, I mean, hey, that makes a lot of sense because you do need to like be on the same page.

Like some of these, there's a whole finances section.

Yeah, that makes sense.

It is kind of crazy that you could just get married to anybody.

It's true. What schooling do you want for your kid? Mmm. Oh when you get into kids, that's great

What school or if you had a kid right now public school or private?

Public yeah, I don't know now. There's charter. There's charter. There's there's spectrum internet

There's zoom. There's spectrum internet. There's Zoom. There's Zoom. There's chat GPT.

There's Club Penguin.

Yeah, you'll learn on chat GPT.

Wait, so I'm finding some of these. Okay, okay.

Okay. What's your biggest fear? Oh, it's something like metaphorical, right?

Or if that's it.

Anything you want.

Like, like being like failure. Public failure or just personal? I think maybe personal failure. Anything you want like like being like failure Public failure or just personal I think maybe personal failure like yeah Insignificance. Oh, yeah, like being forgotten. Yeah, maybe that Or and definitely fear of letting people down fear of hurting people. Yeah, that's big

Yeah, I have a fear of people fear of people or fear of yeah

No, I think if you boil it down, if you boil it down, I love people so much and I fear them as well.

I think I'm on the same page. Oh, I have some questions regarding this later, but like TikTok will occasionally throw some like therapy stuff at you. It'll be a person being like, do you feel this way about this stuff?

Then you probably have this. And it's like, and it was like, oh, do you view like hanging out with friends as like an obligation that you need to meet? And I'm like, yeah.

You do?

Oh yeah.

Do you think that's because of the job?

I think it's from performing for so long. I fear boring people. I fear annoying people. Me too. And and like just wasting people's time. I'm like, oh, well, I don't want to hit them up because like I don't make them They're they're probably busy. They don't want to text me This is you know, like so then I end up not texting people and I'm like, oh shit like they think I don't like them

Yeah, but it's because I'm afraid of like yes. Oh, no, I totally relate. Well something I don't talk about a lot Is that I I fear one-on-one so hard. It's really hard. And it's always been a thing for me since I was a kid.

Group hangs or group situations are so much easier because you feel like you have fallback.

Or three.

Yeah, three is easy. Two people, I'm like, fuck, okay, so it's on me.

And I feel like I zone in on what that person wants and needs so much more than just being present. And I kind of just like, I don't know what it is. Like, yeah.

It's why I was, I've mentioned this a million times. It's why I was horrendous at dating. Yeah. Because I would go on a date, I'd go on a couple dates and after a couple dates, I'd be like, I have not been myself at all in these dates. Like I am so trying to just say the right things

and do the right things that I don't even know if I like this person or not, because I've been just all I've been caring about is their approval that I don't even know if we do vibe because I haven't been genuine. Like I've been a way, I've been lying to you this whole time

because I'm putting on a performance. Yeah. And I can't, it's so hard to not do that. And that's why I think, you know, Courtney and I worked so well because we were in an environment for so long where we were just friends and we were cool.

And it's just like, you don't have to force it.

Then it just kind of happens.

I mean, that's why I think I like, some people rely on like some type of something I do love a glass of wine to get me to just like, like something like that, or like when I'm sick, I'm so tired that I can't think about the other person, I'm just thinking about getting through. Like just getting through this, right? So I'm so much better when I have just a little hindrance to get out of my head.

But then you can't rely on that, you gotta learn how to like.

Right, yeah, because you can't do that forever. You can't do that in every situation.

I was gonna change the subject really quick. Please.

To something a little more silly.

I'm scrolling through finance shit. I'm like, let's talk about Mater.

Let's talk about finances. TikTok, I feel like, what is your social media choice? Oh. Like, not that you like it, or like, oh, this is the best one. What do you find yourself on a lot? Changes for sure.

Right now I am a little bit on TikTok more.

Yeah, it's just so easy to pull up and just scroll, right? Yeah, but Instagram is like the toxic one, right? Where I like, I need it. I check that all day.

See, I think Instagram to me is like the least toxic to me sometimes.

Wow.

The way it affects me, right? I've noticed that all of them affect me in different ways and I think they're all, I think all social media is toxic in some way or another. And I think especially now it's gotten so algorithmic. The second algorithms became a thing with social media, it all went to shit, right?

Just cause now you have an AI like going, oh, you like this stuff, so we're gonna give you more

of that stuff.

So you're not experiencing new things, you're just experiencing more of a heightened and heightened version of what you were already going for. Yes.

Or the act of boredom doesn't happen anymore because I'm being served something before I knew I needed it.

Yeah, yeah.

And that's such a weird space.

But TikTok is an easy one to pull up. And what TikTok has just become is just discourse. It's just people telling, I've realized I scroll and I'm like, oh, every single one is a variation of someone telling me something. I'm like, there's no longer like, and it's all critique of things.

I'm like, you're not seeing anything original. You're just seeing critique of stuff. And there's an interesting, I got served an interesting clip where this professor was talking about how like, she's like, yeah, she's a literature professor.

And she's like, all my students are terrified of making stuff now, because we're all terrified of being cringe, because the internet is just critiquing everything and telling like, so all we're doing is critiquing stuff and not making stuff, because it's easier to critique things.

We have a million, we have an endless amount of critics, but nobody making original stuff.

That's pretty mind boggling. Like how most podcasts now are watch back podcasts.

Yeah.

Instead of like actually generating something.

And I find myself watching reactionary stuff. Like it's fun to like watch that stuff, but I realize sometimes I'm like, am I, how often am I actually ingesting original content? Or how much am I ingesting the echo of the reaction of the reaction of the reaction?

And I'm like, God damn, what is my brain actually getting right now? And that's the same with like what an algorithm kind of is, is it's just kind of it's just kind of a repeat Situation and I'm like this is this is not healthy for me and I'm like no wonder I sometimes feel like the this past year So I'm like I really struggle with creativity

Yeah, I'm like cuz I'm like what am I? Cuz a creativity is like an engine and you need like fuel for that and fuel is original things. And nothing's better than the real world and walking around, but my brain's not even primed for that sometimes. You walk around, it's hard. And I hear so much about how hard it is for everyone to focus nowadays. I'm like, yeah,

because the world is telling us not to all the time.

Woo, preach.

Yeah, I didn't mean for this to become a deep conversation like that. I meant to ask like my TikTok feed is always telling me stuff and it's always a very different thing. Yeah. And it switches up all the time. Yeah. And but lately, it's been one that I actually appreciate and I think has been good. I think I benefit from this one. And it's just been and it's alpha male TikToks and it's alpha males and it's it's don't listen to women. No, it's suddenly been like fiber. That's what my TikTok feed is. It's just like, hey, fiber, you need to be eating fiber.

And I was like, whoa, had no idea. Wait, that's so funny. My TikTok is going, it's your cortisol levels. It's every now and then it's like, hey, man, I, I, I scroll right past the ones that I see are selling something. So I'm like, I don't trust you. They're like, here's what you're doing wrong in the world. I'm like, you're trying to sell me something. But a lot of it's like, hey, fiber. And for a while it was just chia seeds. And it was just TikTok being like, you need to be eating chia seeds every day.

And it's like, and then it's like, you get those. And then you get followed up seeds. And it's like you need to soak your chia seeds, so you need to put them in water.

Oh, go f*** yourself. You have to soak your seeds?

What are we doing?

Yeah, because they expand.

What are we doing? God created a seed, we don't need to wash it.

God created chia seeds.

God, hold on a second. They are beautiful as they are. You don't you love it when you get a pack of lettuce and it was pre-washed and they say pre-wash three times I go. Thank you. Yeah, it was pretty was pretty washed a month ago, and then it sat in this package. Yeah, I'm like Thank you Washing my fucking seeds. How do you even wash a seed?

You don't wash them you just put them like so like you can make chia pudding which I've been doing Check this out. One cup of almond milk, put it in a mason jar. A fourth a cup or less of chia seeds, throw that in there. A tablespoon of maple syrup, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir that up, throw that in the fridge. Next day, it turns into like a pudding.

And what is that?

It's good for you.

No, but I mean like what? And what is that? So but actually, like what is that? It's good for you. No, but I mean like what... And what is that? So, but actually, like, what is that? You know what I mean?

And what is that? It's fiber.

It's good for you. It's seeds.

God, do you remember Fiber One bars? I never really had them, but I feel like fucking seeds. God. Someone needs to take this guy on a walk Take him on a walk to the back of the barn you give me a

Mike and then because I'm watching so many fucking podcast clips and sometimes I'll see myself like go off

Yeah, and that's the thing that you do with podcasts

Okay, but my okay, so I've gotten into something that I highly recommend for people. My friend Kylie got me into it. She goes, I have a second TikTok account.

And I go, what?

And she goes, it's my sleepy algorithm. And it makes me sleepy. And it's a bunch of stupid, boring shit. And she just scrolls through it and it puts her to bed.

That's pretty smart. We're reinventing the lullaby folks. Do you are do you get into ASMR at all?

No, yeah, why would I do that? Some people are into it. I'm getting some people are into it. I do like ASMR when it's with a visual

Yeah, sound isn't just good enough for me. Sound I realize is not So I I don't I for the longest time thought I didn't get it at all I think I get it with but it's a very specific weird thing and I realized my entire life where I think I've felt ASMR Is when I get a stethoscope when the doctor's like putting it on your back and like all right breathe in Yeah, breathe out and I like for some reason that and then I realized like there's a ton of ASMR people who are doing like fake doctor stuff where they're like, all right, we're gonna measure your face. And okay, and we're gonna measure right here. And then there's this one that's really popular.

Wait, I'm obsessed with this.

I know, I'm like, wow, how specific they get. And then there's one that's really, really popular. Where they're like, okay, we're gonna do this test where we have this thing here. It's got like a wheel at the end that's got like kind cotton tip swab and I'm gonna press this on you and I'm gonna go back and forth here

Tell me if it's sharp or dull and so they'll just like alright and here we go And then I'll just like be pressing it on a person and their eyes are closed. It's like alright and what's this? It's like that's sharp. No, it's like that's dull. It's all okay sharp dull and and honestly, I'm hearing something different for dull and sharp. You don't really hear anything You're just watching this person like get this test done where it's not a real test. It's not a real doctor thing

I know but you're just hearing someone go. That's dull. That's sharp. Yeah, I mean they're saying that's kind of like whispering

It's not like they're they're like, yeah, it's sharp

Yeah

That's gotta be sharp no, it's like it's like

sharp That's gotta be sharp. No, it's like, dull, sharp, dull.

You like that?

I don't, like it is a weird way to say it.

And you're sitting there with your grown man pudding? Watching that?

My grown man pudding going like, mm-hmm, oh, that one's sharp. No, I don't think I feel any ASMR, but I'm kind of mesmerized by it a little bit. But sometimes they get it wrong like there's clearly parts on our body where we don't feel that well where they'll like roll it against like Like their temple and they'll be like dull and I'm like that was sharp you idiot like I'm I'm not into this. They're stupid

But then what I also you know what I also get you know what I also get that actually I like what so I think that's big in LA and you're not gonna be surprised by is Reiki healing okay now Reiki healing is some people gonna be mad at me for saying this Reiki healing is for rich people who have expendable money to throw at things that don't do

anything rich woman gave a rich woman gave spork Reiki healing once. And I'm 50%, I think it changed him, 50% think it was just a hug. And you know what? I think it was a hug!

Okay, I'm skeptical of it. I'm skeptical of a lot of things.

I do kind of believe in it.

People are allowed to, hey, if someone says I believe in it, I'm not gonna say they're wrong. I don't personally. Cause it'll be like this Australian man who looks like Jesus. And he'll be like,

if this video has found you, it means you have like some negative energy that I'm going to purge. And he's got like a crystal and he's like, here we go. And then he's like,

pshh. Pshh.

Pshh.

Pshh. And I'm sitting there like yeah, well, I mean he's I have to watch this because if I have negative energy He's gonna take care of it and I'm like, I'm skeptical but hey If I made me maybe he's right you lose nothing. I lose nothing I only stand to gain something you're sitting there with your cup of seeds. Just sit there. That's get your energy That's also how I view because the Internet is filled with misinformation Right that I

Gauge that most things I'm getting served or misinformation So as long as I'm like, okay If I buy into this misinformation as long as I'm not hurting anyone or I don't get harmed you don't lose it Then I'm like, okay, I'm willing to play along like fiber, right? I'm like, I know I know it's healthy. I knew that before. But I'm like, okay, that's not bad advice to get that I need to eat more fiber. But also if a guy's like, hey, I'm gonna heal you really quick with this crystal right now,

I'm like, I don't believe you, but I'm sure, why not? Hey, why not?

Yeah, there's some witches, there's witches on Etsy that you can buy a spell, and then you have to put something down, right? And they're like stay on here. So your day could be blessed tomorrow. Yeah, I'll buy it cuz then there's misinformation

That's 90% of the misinformation is bad and it leads to bad things It's like hey believe this about the world and I'm like, no man, like like I lose a lot Let's let's read some books. Yeah, and and back this up. Yeah Okay, wait really quickly. Do you mind if I go back to a chia seeding? All right, we'll go back to chia seeds Um just really quick You called that pudding. It's chia pudding. I'd say cuz I'd say cuz it was in the morning. I'd call that oatmeal It's not oatmeal. There's no oats in it. I'd say pudding is for the evening

Oatmeal is for the morning. You think pudding is for the evening? You also thought yogurt was yellow yellow right or pink. I think most yogurts are pink, but I want to go back to this really quick That's the wild that's wrong. I think cake definitively wrong you think cake on cake. Okay is morning pancakes And that's cake right go with me. Sorry. Sorry what you think cake?

On my phone somewhere. I've been thinking about it for a while. I think pancakes pancakes our breakfast cake. That's it

Yeah, the pancakes. Yeah cake and I think pancakes pancakes our breakfast cake. That's it. The other pancakes. Yeah cake and I think

Oatmeal is breakfast pudding. Nope. Nope. Yeah pudding for dinner

Oh

Don't see in any way how oatmeal is pudding. There's the texture is completely different. I just think those are

Hold on. Let me figure this out. A cookie. A cookie. Breakfast biscuit. Okay. Just different times of the

day. Okay, I mean yeah, well in in many parts of the world they, that that is a

biscuit, right? French toast. Okay, what are we doing with this? I think they all are the same, just time of day. Acai bowl is breakfast ice cream.

I would, okay, I would argue an acai bowl is closer to a smoothie than ice cream.

If it's in a bowl, I think it's ice cream.

So if you dumped a smoothie into a bowl, it's now ice cream.

Yes. At night.

But a smoothie doesn't have, a smoothie...

I lost ya. I was doing so well.

This whole thing's f***ed, dude. And I was like, ooh, this'll be fun. I could bring up my whole theory about pancakes and cake.

Yeah, I mean, pancakes are technically a type of cake. It's panca...

So then what's the bagel for the evening?

A bagel for the evening? I mean...

A bagel for the evening? I mean... A bagel for the evening?

I don't know a bagel?

Bagels can... A bagel for the evening to me...

You can have bagels at any time of the day.

...is the bread basket.

What?

A bread basket?

What is the steak for the morning? Steak for the morning?

It's steak and eggs. Steak...

A sausage. Breakfast sausage.

That's pork. Pork or chicken or turkey. Yes. It's you're going literal.

Beef.

Let go. Let go. Like really think of a theory. Like what is the vibe?

Stop. OK. You're just talking about vibes here. All right. You're just there. They're equivalents. He likes he like sucks the energy and then he like does this.

And it's that part that is kind of like weirdly satisfying. It's like, oh, you're grabbing energy and then you're like just like kind of dusting it off. Put pull I like it. And then there's some rakey who have these like weird sticks of gems and they're like tapping them together and I'm like, God is working. I gave

Yeah, my friend, my rich friend took care of spork one day. This is so long ago. And I came's looking at me like. He's like, hello, Angela. And he's drenched in lavender. I was like, you smell amazing, dude.

Damn.

And she goes, he really responded well. Or like I used to, when I was a dog walker, would drop off dogs for acupuncture in Brentwood.

Wow.

And I was like, my god, this dog's getting better treatment

than I will ever. Wow And I was like my god, this dog's getting better treatment than some dogs Oh Do you get do you ever get served the things where people are like? Putting out the meal for a dog and it's like all these organic crazy ingredients and it's truly It's truly like a hundred dollars worth of stuff where it's like an entire chicken Like an entire whole chicken to like quail eggs Oh my tomato, um, and then like all these powders

and stuff. I'm like this dog is playing in the NFL. Yeah. Like oh my god. Overnight oats is oatmeal. Yeah, yeah, literally. Overnight oats is oatmeal.

But then why does it say overnight oats and not oatmeal? What? It's just, what? I'm asking what overnight oats are over. What's the difference between?

It's overnight oatmeal. It's it's it's oatmeal

But what is the difference? There's there has to be a difference. There's literally no difference overnight

It's hot overnight oats are cold right overnight oats are not cold What is over night overnight oats is when you can make it in a crock pot right is that mine am I wrong?

Yeah, I thought overnight oats is chia

Pudding oh

You do put in the fridge okay, but that's still there

There I'm right about everything that we just talked about all 83 questions there. We go all misinformation is good

By the way, I just want to I go back. I feel like I said it, but misinformation is bad. Misinformation is very bad.

Let me say that misinformation is bad. In no way was I saying that any misinformation is good.

Yeah, no, you were fine.

There's some where I just go, okay, I'm gonna allow this for right now.

Yeah.

But then I'm gonna wipe it away.

What you said, I think, is really important, like Activity and seeing am I losing something when I take part in this does that make sense?

Like yeah, because there's so much like so or does it does it does it lead to an action? I think yes, if social media is telling you something that leads to an action in your life You need to really be scrutinized Yes, and know that your your feed is telling you things that it thinks you like, and it'll keep telling you. So it'll feel like the whole internet's agreeing, but it's just your little corner, and that's how people end up with these twisted mindsets.

I even go that way with Instagram, where I'll see like, someone will do something out of a story, or someone won't repost a story, I tag them in, and I go like, and I'm like, oh, are they mad at me? It just happened. I was just here. There was no action that actually happened But I was just like sometimes it's so hard not to like give it so much weight because it is interaction with you're a human

Yeah, but it also isn't I don't know. It messes me up It messes me up and then reddit depresses the shit out of me when I like go on reddit too much. I'm like, oh man Everything's really bad. Okay, you're in line for your coffee. What's your scroll? Like, what, like... Unfortunately, sometimes it's Reddit because, like, it's just articles and just, like, it goes all over the place.

Was it Twitter before?

It was Twitter and I refuse to go on Twitter. I hate it there.

It was nice when it, like, I feel like Twitter was what Reddit...

Twitter was... I had curated... Sorry to interrupt. No, no. Sorry to interrupt. I had curated my Twitter account years ago to be so funny. And it was just comedians posting dumb ass jokes. And I would go there and I'd be laughing my ass off. And I know it can still be that, but I can't support it. And it just got really bad and it's really negative. And there's a lot in the world to critique in a fair way.

I think Twitter is often just feels like just really it's just bad. Took a turn for the absolute worst. And people are also like Twitter I felt I was like I'm seeing people say words that I thought we put in the closet forever ago I was like goddamn Twitter. It got, oh yeah. Like what the hell and it's like people that I thought were like people are thinking it's good, like in some ways, and I'm just like, guys, stop, like what the hell? And I'm like, this is what internet does. Is like, it becomes your reality, and it affirms things that you should like,

take a step back and go, wait, what's the real world?

Can you curate Reddit? Does it have an algorithm?

Yes, yes, you can, so you subscribe to different subreddits. Yeah, and then you see. subscribe to different subreddits. And you can only get those subreddits. You can make it very positive, Reddit can be kind of anything, but even still, it's communities, right? And I just find when I'm looking through comments,

I just feel like the top comments a lot are just always like, oh yeah, the world's awful and everyone's bad.

And I'm just like, all right, okay.

I need to take a step back sometimes. Yeah, it's interesting though because if I'm like waiting for my coffee I need visual like I don't read like I have to like kind of sit if I want to read my Instagram for you page

Is actually the most positive of all because I've it's just fashion stuff Oh now it's kind of shopping esque which I'm also like this isn't great that it's kind of almost a Pinterest board of men's fashion. That's and I'm like a great way Yeah, and I so that's probably the positive one I try to now sometimes just be like do I need to get on my phone like I'm waiting in line 15 years ago. I would have just been here

Yeah

but now I'm finding that I'm like similar to what you were talking about with like Having a drink to like be able to talk to someone. I'm like, can I literally not be bored? Can I literally not sit still anymore? And I'm like, that can't be good.

It's so terrifying.

Hard as hell though.

I did a dropout show yesterday where we couldn't have your phone and I had to sit and it was like, so it's crazy that something that should be so simple, which is just sitting in with your thoughts, has now become a battlefield because I've let in so many other quick, like,

I know, I know, I'm the same way my brain moves way too fast. And it's, but I find it going slower when I actually go a couple weeks with like, I have a timer on my phone now for things, but I often don't listen to it. It's like, hey, your time's up. And I'm like, yeah, right, it is. I'm asking for 15 more minutes.

And I'm gonna ask for 15 more minutes after that.

Oh my God, I wanted to tell you this morning it happened. My alarm clock.

Alarm, and did you watch an ad?

Yeah, but now they got me answering questions. What? I was gonna screenshot it, but I was half asleep, but I remember going oh I got to tell Shane this but it was like which one of these brands do you use and I was like

None of them. I was doing like literally surveys. Can I tell you this is a that is a scene straight out of Blade Runner That is some dystopian shit right there that you wake up You wake up in order to sleep. You need to watch an ad and ask questions

Yeah, if you guys haven't heard this I have this intense alarm that will That will change the sound every day and then also make me Fill out memory like what is it? It'll show me like a little puzzle. It'll show I used to do math had to stop doing that But I can do little puzzles and it gets me to wake up faster because I just get

Corporate America attack me first thing in the morning. I will not do math

But I ain't fucking

Wake up and immediately tell you what detergent I like but I am not doing long

Literally it showed me this morning. It was like, only when I ask to snooze. Only when you ask to snooze does it make you do work.

That's crazy, dude.

This sounds like hell.

No, I, oh god, it gets me up.

It gets me freaking up.

Yeah, of course it does. What sound do you, you're not like a wake up before your alarm as you wake up before my alarm. I wake up before my alarm God

You are a mystery to me. I am so far from you. It's crazy I what time do you go to bed like when caffeine goes through your body? I think it's like one pipe Yeah, and I've got a special organ called a caffeine organ Silly straw literally and you're just like, tank. Tank. It's because of all the fiber I have. It's those chia seeds. They're, they're managing it. It's that cup of seeds. Yeah. You washed.

It's that old man pudding I'm eating. Disgusting. Uh, yeah. What time do you go to bed?

Different every night. That's why.

Are you kidding? Sleep schedule, dude Do you have a bedtime? Sleep schedule. I just like I'm in bed by a certain time and I'm falling asleep generally like a window. I have a window during shoot weeks. Non-shoot weeks I don't have a window. Oh okay like weekends you're up a little bit later that's fine. But you're do you set an alarm? Yeah. Okay. I also think like, I think what I've heard is like, oh, if you need to start like going to bed at a certain time it gets easier to just wake up earlier

and then you'll be tired that night. Yes. But.

But I need my alarm for that. I love waking up earlier.

I plenty of times use my alarm and I wake up for my alarm. But I, a lot of times I do wake up before it. Yeah. I do wake up before it. But I wake up and go to the gym, but today I set an alarm for 5.45 and I woke up at 5.30.

You're a special breed.

Once you get used to it. Because I used to not be able to wake up at 5.30.

I mean, no matter what, I'm up early.

Totally. Like if I don't have an alarm.

We're here by 8 a.m. which means we're usually all waking up by 5.30, 6. Like on Saturdays, I will wake up like at 7 or 6 and then I sleepy, I'll go get back on there. Wow. And I turn my brain off. And you go back to sleep. I try to.

Oh, see, I love like on a weekend waking up super early is awesome. It's the best.

Getting a lot of nods, a lot of nods.

Favorite time of day. No, truly waking up at like 5.30 in the morning. If I wake up at 5.30 and I feel-

On a Saturday?

Yeah, cause check this out. I wake up at 5.30 in the morning, I feel good. If I feel good, I'm like, oh, extra awesome. I go down, I'm like, this is, I'm like, the sun's not even fully up yet. moving this is free time it's as if like this doesn't count no but there's only boring people around you what are you talking about I'm not sick as hell people are asleep I'm not I'm not going out I'm staying in you're

right you're right you're right and I'm like oh playing a video game low volume or like watching a TV show or reading a book first thing early in the morning is incredible and what's great is like I have cats and cats are always up. Oh, but they're they're up But this is like 5 a.m. To 7 a.m. Is when cats are up, but they're not doing crazy stuff They're just kind of up and kind of hanging out So I think adult I sometimes like I'll wake up and I'll go down and like on my couch My cats are just chilling there just like up but just like kind of sitting and I'll sit down and play video games and they'll just be like chillin just like hanging out. I'm like, this is awesome. Like this this time doesn't count

Oh my god, like cuz like 8 a.m. 9 a.m. Rolls around. It's like, okay, what am I doing? You're up with America, but looking at the market 5 a.m. Doesn't matter

Nobody can judge me for what I do at 5 a. your guys' cats? Yeah. My parents are having a crazy thing with this cat. I rescued them a cat two years ago, and the cat is now, her name is Pino. She is, my mother named her.

And she-

You're kidding.

Not kidding.

Pino is, do your cats kind of play sides with you and Courtney? Because Pino is doing this thing where Pino in front of my mom is my mom's number one. And then the second my mom closes her eyes, Pino will go to my dad.

But if my mom wakes up, Pino's like, I'm not friends with him.

Whoa. Yeah. Our cats don't do anything that extreme. I mean, Birdie definitely likes Courtney more. I think both of them love Courtney bird bones Annoys me the most like he knows like I will mess with him and play with him a lot So he will come to me and he'll be meowing at me a lot

They have different schedules though like in the afternoon I feel like they want to like be around Courtney more and in the morning every morning like 5 a.m Or even earlier like 3 to 5 read he gets up in bed with me and he wants to like At your core you a dog or cat person I think I'm both man I've had but I had both growing up I love them both. I like kind of like all animals Yeah, my take is like I can talk as much shit as I want because there's certain breeds of dogs. I'm like, oh, little dogs? Like I'm not into little dogs. I'm like, if

I had a little dog, I would then love it. I don't really care.

I was a big dog person all my, like I just loved big dogs and I never wanted a small

dog.

They're all great.

It's crazy how it just happens. depends on the individual animal like some dogs suck some cats suck and then you meet like like growing up I was like oh Chihuahuas cuz we were in the era where there was just Chihuahuas everywhere yeah and they were all shitty and because they were poorly poorly trained right cuz people just got him cuz it was a fad but like they're a Taco Bell Chihuahua too yeah man no the early 2000s it was Chihuahua central. There was movies about Chihuahuas,

but I hated them when I was a kid because I was like, they're annoying. They're not friendly, they're just barking. But then like over the years, I've met some Chihuahuas that are amazing. And I'm like, whoa, this is the best dog

I've ever met in my life.

Trying to think of now all the corporate dogs. Bullseye target dog. He's not around anymore. He went out. They got rid of him. Him, the Taco Bell Chihuahua.

Got rid of him too.

Wasn't there another?

They all went out of work.

Or they just died.

Well, I'm assuming it was multiple dogs.

Twins.

Yeah.

What are other dogs that were like?

That were big?

Symbols.

Like corporate dogs. I think those were the two big ones and they're no longer in business

Have you heard the whole theory that all these food chains are now making their? Their slogans less about food and more just like life. Yeah, so that's a big that's an algorithmic thing

Really? That's an algorithm. What do you mean? It's an algorithm. It's because it's a matter of like they want them to have a personality. They want them to be like humanified. So that like, oh, I love this brand. Like I love like its personality and stuff.

That's wild.

And also once again, take, don't take my word fully for this, but there's a, oh God, there's a book that I read by, the author's name is Kyle Chayka and it's called Filter World.

And it's a book all about like how, the premise, the essay of the book is how algorithms flatten culture. And he talks, the big example that you can all see is coffee shops. Coffee shops in the 90s all had personalities and now they're all these slate gray, like blank things.

And he's also talking about with bookshops, he's like sometimes it's a good thing, right? Like indie bookshops have had a big rise in the past few years, but it's not about like, oh, is this bookshop good? Is there inventory, whatever? It's the personality of the bookshop.

And so that's everything. Everything needs to have a social media presence. That doesn't matter in real life what you are, what you do, how good the business is. It's your social media presence.

It's how people read the personality of it. That's interesting because I thought with stores, it was just like a style thing where I remember everything shifted to minimalism and the Apple store. I remember the first time I ever went in the Apple store, I was like, oh my God, there's just tables with nothing on it.

The millennial gray. Yeah. The millennial, because like 2010, you started to see like everything, all color went away, all design went away. But then maximalism is kind of back. I hope it comes back, man.

Oh, it is!

Like TGI Friday's aesthetic is kind of, I mean, look around.

I just want like uniqueness. I don't want it to all be the same though. Cause what I think we're getting-

No, it's cool, like having individual, like gallery walls are like, they've been back.

Right, right. I'm I'm saying yeah, I'm down for it. I'm down for anything, but I don't want them to all do the same thing Yeah, right because that's what we're seeing now and that's algorithmic is that it's like oh, but this is what people want This is what's selling and this is what the the internet wants So we're all gonna do this now and I just don't want to see all the same because Yes, yes. And so I'm like, I'm down for maximalism. I'm also down for just every place that you walk into to be a different vibe. Yeah.

And you get that with indie stuff, like small businesses and things.

But you don't get that with big chains.

But I'm like, if all of them just start doing the same exact thing, but.

I couldn't read a book like that.

It would rip me a fascinating book. I highly recommend it because what I've said today I'm sure I'm sort of wrong about some things. Yeah, but Filter world one of my favorite books. I've read this year

Really awesome next to a new car. I'm also looking really quick. I'm also looking for Some new music. Do you are you listening to music? Are you out of I?

Have not been listening to a lot of new music lately. I've fallen off my album. Oh, yeah thing I need to get back on it Courtney's been listening to some incredible stuff and I feel like I just hear it. I proxy having a partner. That's like Music guru is so helpful. What is it? Marina? Is that is that? Yeah, that shit rocks Yeah There's just so much good there's so much but
