0:33

0:35

minutes of talk happening . If you don't like

0:38

0:40

we're going to get into some really cool 10K days

0:42

where we are going to take a fake $10,000

0:45

, spend it in one day somewhere

0:47

around the world . Each of us , and

0:49

it's all . Because we got a magic word , this time

0:51

from oh , it's still AI . Ai

0:54

is still providing that word for us this week , bringing

0:57

it home , bringing it home all the time . So

1:01

hope everyone's doing good

1:03

. The seasons are changing . I'm excited

1:05

about that . It's been cold , then hot

1:07

, then cold , then hot . Now it's finally getting hot again

1:10

here in Florida . What

1:12

else is new ? Oh

1:15

, I got Invisalign on

1:18

my bottom teeth and I'm supposed to wear

1:20

them for 22 hours out of 24

1:22

hours , so I'm wearing them while I'm recording

1:24

, and if you notice

1:27

a list at all , it's because I'm still

1:29

getting these .

1:29

What is 22 out of 24 ?

1:32

Yeah , you can only take them off to eat

1:34

. And then even then she

1:36

was like and when you take them off , do

1:38

not put them back in , unless you can brush your teeth and

1:40

floss . And I was like oh my gosh

1:43

. And she was like if you can't , I'd rather you just

1:45

not wear them . Just don't wear them . And I was like

1:47

OK .

1:49

Are you in pain now ?

1:51

You know what ? No , and she said

1:53

she was like when you put them in , like it's going to be really , because

1:55

they even put I don't know if you guys know about Invisalign

1:57

, I didn't know this there's these two things

1:59

stuck to my teeth that are called

2:02

brackets . They literally like

2:04

oh I know , it's not hot glue , it's

2:06

a place correctly or something , yeah , and

2:08

they stick out . So when I eat

2:10

, it literally feels like I have something still

2:12

stuck in my teeth because they stick out all

2:14

the time . So , yeah

2:17

, she was like those are going to press in there

2:19

, but they don't hurt . They

2:21

hurt people . To get them out , though , I

2:23

ate for the first time , I had to YouTube

2:26

it why I couldn't get them out of my

2:28

mouth . Really , yeah

2:30

, I literally was prying . I was like , oh my god , these are stuck

2:32

, like they're stuck in my mouth . I'm not going to be able to get them out . I

2:34

was prying and prying and prying Couldn't knock in the mouth . So

2:37

I YouTubeed it and the people were

2:39

like take paper towels , because your hands , everything

2:41

needs to be super dry . So I took

2:43

a paper towel and stuck it down and then they were like

2:45

take your nail , but I have the worst

2:48

nails because they're soft

2:50

. Remember , my nails break . So

2:52

I was like just pulling and pulling

2:55

, that's what hurt . I finally

2:57

got them out .

2:57

Is that going to be every time you take them out

2:59

, or is it just when they're brand new and they're kind of not

3:02

yet ?

3:02

loose . Yeah , what I've researched is

3:04

that it gets easier , basically Just like a contact

3:07

right when you put the contacts in

3:09

or what else . What's another

3:11

appendage thing ?

3:12

Well , that is the best tip for people new

3:15

to contacts . It's your nails need to be dry

3:17

. I know no

3:19

one tells you that .

3:20

No one , yeah

3:22

, so yeah . So

3:25

we'll see what happens . I'm living

3:27

with them All right . Yeah

3:29

, I like it . I like it . How's

3:31

rehearsals ?

3:32

Rehearsals are going really , really well . Everyone

3:34

, if you're in town , if you're in the

3:37

Tampa Bay area , if you're in Cirrus Soda

3:40

, wherever you are , if you're close , come

3:42

on down to St Pete because we're

3:44

opening March 10th

3:46

I think , but we have a preview on the 9th no February

3:49

, everyone , I don't know this

3:52

month and it's

3:54

going to be great . It's an

3:57

insane show . It is

4:00

being directed in a very

4:02

unique manner

4:04

, as freefall

4:07

is want to do , and which makes

4:09

us all love to work there , because

4:11

it's just like being in a playground . I tell

4:13

people in New York that all the time , right Like oh

4:16

. Like it's a playground , like an actual

4:18

school .

4:20

So it's having a good time . Yeah , that's

4:22

a pretty good teaser for that too , because

4:25

now my curiosity is peaked

4:27

. You were going to come , anyway , I

4:29

know , but now , like I'm saying , if I was just a listener

4:31

I'd be like , ooh , yeah .

4:33

I'm going to come see this . You think that you personally actually

4:35

know everybody in the show , so you're

4:37

going to have a great time .

4:38

Yeah , and speaking of shows

4:41

and theater , my 18-year-old

4:44

almost 19-year-old , by the way , couple days

4:46

here she turns 19 . She

4:48

auditioned for a friend of yours , she

4:52

auditioned for Stranger Sings

4:54

, and

4:57

I looked up the director and there's

4:59

a picture of you with him

5:01

on his Facebook . Wait what ? Yeah

5:03

, yeah , I

5:05

was like , uh , that's amazing . You

5:07

guys are like no , I mean , I'm sure

5:09

you take pictures with lots and lots of people , but

5:12

literally the thing that I could

5:14

research , I was like Lulu's in a picture with

5:16

this director .

5:16

Did you show , emma ?

5:18

Yeah , and she was like , why didn't I know that beforehand

5:21

? I was like , well , yeah , it

5:23

was like her first one where she had to memorize

5:25

the songs and walk

5:27

into a room . Oh , I love

5:29

it Because she's done cruise ship dance calls . So

5:32

this was actually for a musical

5:34

and it was the singing part before

5:36

the dance call .

5:37

Oh , I'm so proud of her . Does she

5:39

get ?

5:39

nervous . She got very nervous but she

5:41

memorized every single bit . And she said that she walked

5:43

in with nothing in her hands and

5:46

she was laughing because she called me and

5:48

she was like is there a dress code ? Because everyone

5:50

here is in a sundress and I was like

5:52

welcome to a musical theater , lesbian

5:55

auditions , amazing . She

5:57

was in cute jeans and whatever . And I was

5:59

like listen you be , you , don't worry about it

6:01

. But she said she was the only one

6:03

with no book in her hand and they commented on that . They're like

6:05

wow , you're very prepared , you memorized everything . She

6:07

was like uh-huh Over a Jeep .

6:09

You have to control what you can control . If

6:13

you're good at memorizing , then you should

6:15

walk in , memorized

6:17

, yeah , and if you're not going to memorize

6:20

, like me , then stop stressing

6:22

out about it and just really concentrate

6:24

on learning the acting beats , instead

6:27

of trying to memorize for eight hours , not

6:29

getting anywhere and realizing you haven't done any

6:31

work on the character I

6:35

had to give that one up .

6:36

Oh my gosh , Listen the queen

6:39

of faking it and

6:41

don't hold it in front of your face . Don't hold the paper up too

6:43

high .

6:44

Definitely don't hold it up to your face . Air

6:47

on losing your place , I'm

6:50

not doing make eye contact and air

6:52

on losing your place , get in that scene

6:54

.

6:56

Oh , it's so funny . Go

6:58

big .

6:58

The worst is when you get halfway through , when you realize you

7:00

haven't gone big or like you haven't made a

7:02

choice Like you . And by gone

7:05

big I just mean like I

7:07

read . I cold read really well , so

7:09

sometimes I just cold read . I just

7:11

find myself reading

7:14

it like a

7:17

really good person

7:19

reading the Bible readings

7:21

at church , right . Like the ones that are like

7:23

Jesus looked on his left

7:26

and a little down his right and

7:28

you're like , yeah , and sometimes I'm like

7:30

I could walk in and give you

7:32

that level . Yeah , I forget to

7:34

actually think sometimes because I'm so

7:36

worried about other stuff .

7:39

Yes , I'm always worried about pronunciation

7:41

, like it distracts you

7:44

how much you think about it . That's

7:46

interesting , because grammar

7:48

is not something I'm like naturally good

7:50

at , and like spelling and all of that . And

7:53

I remember vividly being

7:55

in a free fall show even , and

7:57

like words coming up and I was like two

8:00

minutes and I would always just pause a little

8:02

bit too long . So Mr Davis would

8:04

be like this is how you say it . I'm like , ok , thanks

8:06

, I'd like to phonetically write it out . I'll

8:08

always go back to what I just think it is .

8:11

Oh , of course , Because how do you remember

8:13

which one is right ? I say to the

8:15

word choreographer oh

8:18

yeah , always , every time , yeah

8:20

, that one's hard he's a choreographer

8:23

and I should

8:25

know . I work in the industry . Everyone

8:27

it's not like this word doesn't come up Comes

8:31

up all the time . So I just say choreo

8:33

, like I'm in the know .

8:35

Oh , yeah , yeah , and I think that's

8:37

why people started like making

8:40

slang terms , because

8:42

they didn't know how to pronounce things . You know , yeah

8:45

, so we just changed it . Yeah , and

8:48

I do that . I try to make jokes out of things Like I

8:50

still don't know how to pronounce the red wine

8:53

that has Cabernet , followed

8:55

by the SAUG , and I something

8:57

, something telling me . So I just go , I'll

9:00

have a glass of the Cabsav , right

9:02

, or a glass of the Cabernet , right

9:05

, right , right right , I'm going to distract

9:07

you with my comedy . Yes , exactly

9:10

.

9:11

Yeah , while

9:13

we're talking about distracting you with comedy and coolness

9:16

, everyone , we do have an announcement

9:18

. We have about 40 seconds left to do it . Did I

9:20

leave that on your list ? Maybe , but

9:22

hey , everyone . Oh , this is terrible

9:25

. I did this a terrible way . We

9:27

have 30 seconds left for me to tell

9:29

you that in two episodes we

9:31

will be ending 10K dollar day , and

9:34

Valentine's Day is going to be our last episode . Honestly

9:37

, if you've been with us since the beginning , you know

9:39

things have gotten a little hard for Alison and I to

9:41

keep up , so you've probably figured this

9:43

was happening and you know what You're going to gold star

9:45

for even listening to our voice this late in the game . You

9:47

know what I'm talking about . Yes , you do . If

9:49

you've been with us this whole time , though , we'd love to hear

9:51

from you before we sign off the last time , so

9:54

9:56

. That will be monitored for

9:59

that month .

10:05

Oh my god . It's a 10K

10:08

dollar day .

10:10

Imaginary travel and a laugh

10:12

for two as we tell you all the

10:14

crazy things we want to do . We

10:16

buy top drawer , but we don't really

10:18

pay . So say what's your happy

10:21

and you'll be our bae .

10:27

All right . So the magic AI

10:30

, kind of love AI is

10:33

coming through again , this time with the

10:35

word .

10:35

Is that true ? Does everyone have to love AI ?

10:37

I know , not at all , I

10:39

just enjoy it for certain

10:41

things . But I guess that's anything right

10:44

. It's not like me too .

10:45

Well , you know , we talk a lot about AI

10:47

on this podcast and we used to also in

10:49

the Daily Happy , because it's fascinating and we live

10:51

in a time where

10:54

things are happening really

10:57

fast and things that

10:59

used to be very trustworthy

11:01

when we were growing up you just can't trust anymore

11:03

. It's like the week that we're recording this

11:05

is the week that there were like fake pictures

11:08

of Taylor Swift and there are like

11:11

there was a video there . A

11:13

few months ago , tom Hanks tweeted

11:16

like there's a video of me out there and it's not me and

11:19

you know things like that , where you

11:21

just you just can't . You just

11:24

can't trust your eyes and your ears

11:26

anymore unless you're in person . Yeah

11:28

, I know .

11:29

Unless it's happening right in front of you . And then

11:31

I get scared too , because you see those movies

11:34

where like clones happen and

11:36

they're like no , I'm the real one . No , I'm the real one

11:38

. You're like , tell me something about yourself .

11:40

Yeah , but I we're quite far . I mean

11:42

, we are quite far from something living

11:44

and breathing in front of you that

11:46

can and even if it can , can

11:49

you know ? I can think of theme park attractions

11:51

, where it gets you for just a little bit right , even

11:54

if it gets you for a little bit there's . I

11:57

think we are so far from technology that

11:59

is indiscernible if you're in the same

12:01

room with it for more than 30 seconds

12:03

. Yeah , so okay

12:07

, but before we get to that point

12:09

, we need to have

12:12

some real global

12:15

conversations about

12:17

what to do , because we did not do that with the internet

12:19

and I don't know what

12:21

I'm even talking about . Like I don't . Do I believe

12:23

in censorship ? No , do I believe in

12:26

freedom and access of information ? Absolutely

12:28

. How do I reconcile that with people who were

12:30

mean and bad and do bad things

12:32

with all that access ? I don't know everyone

12:35

. If I could solve that in one

12:37

comedy podcast , alyssa and I

12:39

would be billionaires . Yeah , I know , man

12:43

, we're just pretending to

12:45

make vacation days like

12:47

we're billionaires , I know .

12:50

Well , here we go . So the word evening

12:53

was what was brought upon

12:55

us today , so I am actually

12:57

gonna spend 10K in evening

13:00

shade , arkansas .

13:04

Oh , now you're from Arkansas

13:06

, kind of , so is this the thing that you knew ?

13:08

about no idea . I've never

13:11

heard of this place and guess how many people live

13:13

there .

13:14

In evening shade , arkansas . I

13:16

mean it sounds like your production of Nonsense was

13:18

set there . I mean I'll

13:22

go with . Well , let me ask

13:24

you this One high school , more

13:26

than one One for sure ? Oh

13:29

, okay , I'll

13:32

go 3000 . Less

13:34

2000

13:36

. Less 900

13:41

. Less Seven Okay

13:43

, 100 .

13:46

There was 428 people

13:49

the last time they took census

13:51

, which

13:53

was in like 2020 something

13:55

.

13:56

You know what's crazy is now

13:58

, if you're like we

14:01

were just talking about access , you could have like a whole

14:03

billion dollar company living on a farm . Now

14:05

, yeah , in rural

14:08

, whatever .

14:09

Yeah .

14:10

Just have access .

14:12

Yeah , cause of the internet .

14:14

Cause of the internet and access . Oh

14:16

my gosh , what if we ?

14:18

Well , here's what . Wikipedia , says

14:20

about evening shade , arkansas

14:22

, with population 428 . It's

14:25

a mix of the charming , modern

14:27

, tried and true Sounds

14:31

like it's got a main street , exactly

14:33

. Well , I'm going to need the main street

14:36

and they actually did not have

14:38

any hotels on the main

14:40

street , so I rented a private

14:42

motor home . You

14:45

got to make it work . I feel like there's going to be

14:47

a lot of space , and here's the thing , if

14:50

that's also my transportation , right

14:52

? So now I have this giant , luxurious

14:54

motor home . Now this motor

14:56

home from private motor home USAcom

14:59

. It's like

15:01

a hotel room .

15:02

This is one of the nice , it's like country singer

15:04

motor home .

15:05

Oh yeah , leather seats

15:07

. Like the

15:09

actual living space is bigger

15:11

than like some of your New York apartments

15:14

, massive

15:16

, like kitchen area . It

15:18

has like the swirl seats that you can sit

15:20

in and like move around so you can see the front or

15:23

the back of the motor home . And , the best

15:25

part , it comes with a private driver

15:27

so I don't even have to drive

15:29

it or do any of the like cleaning

15:32

stuff . Cause you remember when you and I did that

15:34

cross country in a minivan

15:36

and we had looked at some of those RVs

15:38

and some of the cleaning that

15:41

you have to do with the

15:43

interior bathrooms was something I wasn't

15:45

quite prepared for .

15:47

You have to really commit to

15:50

wanting to

15:53

drive that around

15:55

the city and then find a place to park

15:58

and then hook it up and then empty

16:01

it out . And I

16:03

guess that all sounds fine if things go fine

16:05

. But

16:07

Allison and I

16:09

know that when we're together things

16:12

don't always go fine

16:14

, they always go funny . But

16:18

they don't always go funny .

16:19

Yeah , it's true . So

16:22

Well , there's a minimum to rent this

16:24

motor home with the driver it's

16:26

$5,000 . So

16:28

I'm getting this private For a day . No

16:31

, no , no , like for the trip . Oh

16:33

oh , oh , okay , so $5,000

16:37

. There we go . It's gonna take me where

16:39

I need to go and I can stay

16:41

in it , whatever . So here's

16:43

what I did with the word evening . I know I'm went

16:45

to evening shade Arkansas , but

16:48

to even up the ante , I

16:50

park my RV the

16:53

morning of this day and then

16:55

I bought the best sleeping pills

16:57

on the market , oh , and

16:59

then the best sleep mask on the

17:01

market . I'm gonna sleep all

17:04

day and only come out in the evening

17:06

.

17:08

Tell me about these pills on this mask .

17:10

Okay . So the pills are pure

17:12

bulk melatonin slash

17:15

, l-thine nine bulk capsules . There's

17:18

4,500 of them , but

17:20

they're really expensive . I feel like maybe

17:22

I did something wrong , because I clicked

17:24

on these and they were $2,145

17:27

.

17:28

You mean because you bought 4,500

17:30

of them ? I guess

17:33

you just pay . You bought 4500

17:35

. Yeah , that's not a

17:37

normal amount of caps . You bought it for like

17:39

a clinic .

17:41

Oh , I was wondering . I was like , man , these must be

17:43

the best . Well

17:47

, because I Google searched it and then I did

17:49

high to low and I was like why , yeah , yeah

17:51

?

17:51

I know $2,100 . I know what you mean .

17:53

I'm getting these , I know you

17:55

.

17:57

You think you actually bought 4500

18:00

pills .

18:06

Well , I got my money up and

18:09

I'm going to OK

18:12

, all right . And then I bought the best

18:14

sleep mask . It's called the Manta

18:17

sleep mask and it comes with

18:19

your favorite Bluetooth . You

18:21

can like hear white noise in your

18:24

ears . I know so excited

18:26

so I'm going to put that on and

18:29

sleep all day , all day long . Oh

18:32

, it also has the C cup eye

18:34

for the eyes , so if you

18:36

sleep on your side , that's what I do

18:38

. That's what I like , because I'm a side

18:40

sleeper , all right . So I'm going to sleep all day

18:42

. Here we go , I'm waking up and

18:45

I am going to a place that serves

18:47

breakfast all day , so then

18:49

I can feel like it's breakfast . This

18:52

is called Buttercup's Kitchen

18:54

Cute

18:56

, and it's so cute . You can get the Buttercup

18:58

breakfast all day for five dollars and ninety

19:00

nine cents . That's it . Oh

19:02

, that's so cheap , I know , and

19:04

so I figure , with coffee and tip it's going to be

19:06

like ten bucks , you know . So

19:09

, really , all my money went to like sleeping the day

19:11

away , and now it's going to be cheap here in the

19:13

evening . Shade , arkansas . All

19:16

right , I'm also going to go to the Southern

19:18

Bell Flea Market . Ok

19:21

, and I'm going to budget a thousand

19:23

dollars to spend at this flea market

19:25

. People have some great things to say

19:27

about this flea market . They don't have an actual

19:29

website , it's all on TripAdvisor , but

19:32

you can go and you can read the reviews . People

19:35

love it . They said it's very good , and one person

19:37

even said it's the best for a hundred miles , in

19:39

their opinion .

19:41

OK , wait , if

19:43

you have a flea market in an area

19:45

where the town only has 450

19:48

people in it , I think that's the draw , or

19:50

yeah . But what stuff ? Are

19:54

they getting stuff from other places ? Or are

19:56

they trading around the same

19:58

stuff ?

19:59

Maybe it's old fashioned trade . It's

20:02

a barter market . Yeah , maybe they don't even use

20:04

cash in evening shade , they just

20:07

trade . They're trading services

20:09

.

20:09

right , they got someone who's going to

20:11

come and chop up your wood for you

20:14

. Yeah , but in return

20:16

I'm going to need you to take

20:18

my wheat and make it into

20:20

flour .

20:21

Yeah , I actually would love

20:23

that . But I was like , hey , if you can babysit

20:25

my kid , I

20:28

will make you cookies , that sort of thing

20:30

. I bet you could pay people in eggs . Oh

20:32

yeah , yeah , we got

20:34

our first eggs from the chickens . The first

20:37

, first , yeah .

20:38

OK , well , hopefully you'll be overflowing in them

20:41

by the time you come see me in the show .

20:43

Yeah , right now we're getting like two

20:45

a day , but I feel like

20:47

that's still OK . I don't know , I

20:49

don't know the actual production of but

20:53

, but they're good .

20:56

Is it two chickens ? How many chickens ? There's

20:58

five and you're getting two

21:00

a day . Yeah , do they lay every ?

21:01

day , I think . I think they're supposed to .

21:04

If they get there , they're supposed to lay every day , right yeah

21:06

, because you hear like we got to go outside

21:08

every morning at five and get the stuff from the chicken

21:10

and normally you have like a big , you

21:13

know like you fill up your

21:15

apron with it . I

21:17

hope that's how you're getting to it .

21:19

I actually haven't even gone in there , they

21:22

just appear on my counter . It's

21:25

magic , that's amazing

21:27

. All right , so I'm going to spend $1,000 at the

21:29

Southern Belle flea market . Then I'm going

21:31

to the Old Independence Regional Museum

21:33

. Now , this is a little bit outside evening

21:35

shade , but it's okay . I have a motor home , so

21:38

I'm going there . The Old

21:40

Independence Museum . They

21:42

have a ton of different stuff . They

21:45

basically have

21:47

any sort of archival materials

21:50

that are significant to the history of

21:52

Arkansas , so it's like

21:54

anything museum , ok

21:56

, and they have a ton of like

22:00

research that goes on there to exhibits

22:02

programs . They have this old train bell

22:05

whistle , they have a theater , they have a gift

22:07

shop and it's only $5

22:09

to get , ok , so you can go in

22:12

. And then they also do like school programs

22:14

. They have volunteer information and stuff

22:16

like that too at the Old Museum

22:19

. All right , after

22:21

that , oh , I'm going to eat

22:23

again at Bailey's Country

22:25

Cooking . Now here's a fun fact about all

22:28

of the restaurants that I searched at evening

22:30

shade and there was only maybe six total All

22:32

of them have someone's name in it

22:34

.

22:37

I bet that's the flea market too . I bet

22:39

it's just called like Beth's stuff . Yeah , isn't

22:41

that funny . And you can go there and be like Beth . When are you going

22:44

to put that lion cookie jar up ? And she's

22:46

like I'm telling you , irma , I'm

22:49

not selling that lion cookie jar . And then March

22:51

has to call Irma and be like you'll never believe

22:53

what Beth put on the table after you left that

22:55

lion cookie jar , cookie jar . She's

22:57

like who got it ? Exactly

23:00

? I just wrote an episode

23:02

, by the way , of evening shade Arkansas

23:04

, premiering next fall on Fox .

23:06

I mean it wouldn't be a really good one . I

23:08

feel like All right . So Bailey's

23:10

doesn't even have a Facebook . I

23:12

mean doesn't have a website , it only has a

23:14

Facebook page . And they you

23:16

know very normal prices as well . I'm going to

23:18

eat dinner there for $45

23:20

. And they have just good old , like Southern

23:23

cooking that you would expect , like you know

23:25

the content

23:28

, or country fried steaks and hamburgers

23:31

and all that sort of stuff . So you have

23:33

$5 there . All right , I love

23:35

country fried steak . I have not had

23:37

one of those in probably 15

23:40

years .

23:41

Well , and the terrible part is , I

23:43

was craving one last year , like I really

23:45

wanted a good one , and they are hard to find

23:47

and they're , and good ones are really

23:50

hard to find . In a bad country , fried

23:52

steak is not

23:54

good , it's just

23:56

not . You're like this is

23:58

not a quality meal , yeah

24:00

, but like a good country

24:03

fried steak is everything

24:05

.

24:05

Yeah , I know , all

24:08

right . Then I'm going to hop back in the motor home and I'm

24:10

driving 30 minutes to another

24:13

part of Arkansas , just down the road called Batesville

24:15

, arkansas . I think I've actually

24:17

been to Batesville , it like rings a bell

24:20

, but I'm going to the Melba

24:22

Theater . Now here's what's cool about this theater . It

24:24

was originally constructed as a mercantile

24:27

store and it was remodeled

24:29

in art deco style in

24:31

1940 to become

24:34

Arkansas's first theater

24:36

of snow . It

24:39

actually closed in the 1990s for repairs

24:41

but reopened in the year 2000

24:44

. And then now it's been

24:46

going as a theater , so

24:48

you can literally . It's really cute . It

24:50

has the big lights and

24:52

it looks like one of the old wrap around , like

24:55

you know , with the marquee on the front .

24:58

You mean like a play , like a stage

25:00

or a cinema , A movie theater ? Yeah , cinema

25:02

.

25:02

Ah , ok , yeah , so they

25:05

only show like one

25:07

. It's one theater . You know how that used

25:09

to be . It was not like a one screen theater . Yeah

25:12

, so like right now they're they're just showing you , showing

25:14

trolls band together , the trolls

25:16

movie , and

25:18

they only do like weekend , so it's like Thursday

25:20

, friday , saturday , that's it . They have a couple

25:23

of showtimes , but it's really

25:25

cute . And then every once in a while as well , they'll

25:27

hold concerts . So sometimes

25:29

they will do like concerts that you can come and

25:31

experience that , and then you can also

25:33

become a member there and join their text

25:35

club . So I'm going to head to the

25:37

Melba Theater and I

25:39

guess I'm going to see trolls . So that's

25:41

going to be fun . I'm going to spend about twenty five dollars on

25:44

the ticket and then , of course , a box of popcorn

25:46

with extra butter , all right , next

25:49

up . So this is where I'm

25:51

going to end my evening in evening

25:54

shade , arkansas . It's back

25:56

at my motor home

25:58

. But I bought one of the coziest

26:00

blankets I've ever seen from Lola

26:03

blankets , and it's also

26:05

so expensive . They say

26:07

it's a blanket built for life . It has the

26:09

perfect weight , yet

26:11

a huggable stretch and

26:13

double-sided softness . $299

26:17

for this blanket .

26:19

What's it made out ? I mean like , is it fuzzy

26:21

, is it smooth , is it heavy

26:23

? Yeah , it looks fuzzy , like

26:25

.

26:25

It looks like a fuzzy soft blanket

26:28

. It's

26:30

just really nice . And

26:32

they have all kinds of different colors

26:36

and you can even go on

26:38

there and it says why , lola ? And then you

26:40

can see like , why , like , why should you

26:42

pick this , which I always like

26:44

? Tell me why .

26:46

And what did they say ?

26:48

Well then it goes into like that

26:51

Lola is a tribute to this

26:53

lady named Amy , who's their Lola

26:56

? She ?

26:56

loves Lola . Oh , so do they mean ? Why do we

26:58

call this company Lola ? Oh , maybe

27:00

.

27:02

I kept looking for it . I was like I still don't know why

27:04

I should buy it . Yeah

27:07

, you're right , it's because Amy

27:09

lived a thoughtful life devoted to the service

27:11

of others , and so she

27:14

found comfort in her soft faux fur blanket

27:16

. So then , after Amy

27:18

passed , they decided

27:20

to make blankets .

27:22

Okay .

27:22

I love that . Yeah , all

27:25

right . So I bought the blanket $299

27:28

. And then I'm going to get

27:31

a bottle of Evening Champagne

27:33

. I just called it Evening Champagne . There's really no bottle

27:35

called that . I just called it my Evening

27:37

Champagne . But it's just Champagne

27:40

, henry . I

27:42

don't know if that's how you pronounce it , but it's $1,000

27:45

. So

27:47

I was excited to get that . And then I'm

27:49

going to climb on top of the motor

27:51

home with my blanket

27:54

and my champagne and that's

27:56

where I'm going to end the night . And

27:58

that brings my total to $9,917

28:04

in Evening Shade , arkansas

28:06

, woohoo

28:08

, yeah .

28:10

All right , are you ready for my Evening ? Yeah

28:13

, let's do it . Well , I am

28:15

going to Loy

28:18

Sabah Conservancy

28:20

in Kenya . Whoa

28:23

, oh , I want to

28:25

do this day Really . So

28:28

just wait , just wait

28:30

, just wait . Okay , so

28:32

I'm going to stay at the Loy Sabah

28:35

Conservancy Hope I'm saying that correctly

28:37

At the Elawanna

28:39

Resort , and I am

28:42

staying in a star bed

28:44

.

28:45

What In a star bed ?

28:47

Yeah , it's

28:49

a handcrafted four-poster

28:52

bed which sits on wheels

28:55

, which the staff rolls

28:57

out onto raised wooden

28:59

platforms so you can sleep under

29:01

the endless African night

29:04

sky .

29:05

What , but

29:07

the fact that they like you , get cozy

29:09

, and then you're like I'm ready and they

29:12

put you out there .

29:14

I know Well the funny thing . I was reading , like a

29:16

blog too , of a family who had done it and

29:18

they said it was really amazing . And I guess it started

29:20

to rain halfway through

29:22

the night and they said they

29:25

didn't even feel it , but when they woke up

29:27

they were inside . No , yeah .

29:31

Oh my gosh , they must have been watching

29:33

, and then they brought them inside .

29:34

I know , I know it's amazing . It's

29:38

the biggest bedroom in the world , where

29:40

the night sky is your ceiling

29:42

and the hills in the distance

29:44

are your walls . Oh my God , I

29:46

love that . I can't

29:48

even take it .

29:49

Yeah , that's awesome .

29:50

No , that's like not I mean , and your days

29:52

at the resort are also going to be great . So if you

29:54

want to stay there , you have to do

29:56

everything at the resort . It's one of those you

29:59

know , package type of things . You buy the board

30:01

, you buy the things . So the game

30:03

package is a full board

30:06

package which includes scheduled and

30:08

shared game drives , activities

30:10

, including a guided walking safari

30:12

, bush sundowners , which is

30:14

basically like cocktails and

30:17

snacks that they set up in the

30:19

bush Transverse

30:21

to and from it's like mostly the cocktail , I think Transverse

30:24

to and from our airstrips , blah

30:28

, blah , blah . And when we're talking about your

30:30

food on these safaris , we're talking

30:32

like they set up a whole table with

30:35

food and gourmet

30:37

people , chef people , like

30:39

making things and serving

30:41

you .

30:42

Like this is intensely luxurious

30:44

, right , that's so cool , that's

30:46

a bit of it .

30:47

A cool that

30:49

is about 1500

30:52

a night , so for two nights it's

30:54

going to be $3,000 to stay

30:56

at that resort .

30:58

I would do it . I would do it .

31:00

So I'm going to have to have dinners at the resort and lunches

31:02

at the resort . Okay , all that kind of

31:04

stuff . Now , the safari vehicle

31:06

that is included is a shared

31:08

safari vehicle . If you want to upgrade to get a

31:10

private one , it's going to cost me $440

31:14

.

31:14

Oh , that's nice . So then you can kind

31:16

of like rent it out , right

31:18

.

31:19

So I can have like my own private one . I don't have to be with

31:21

other people . I just got the guide . I can go

31:23

to the animals . I want to see all the things

31:25

right Now . Those safari

31:28

vehicles are going to be . I'm

31:30

now basing this on my experience at theme

31:32

parks like Animal Kingdom , but I think it's going

31:34

to be a bumpy ride , oh yeah

31:36

for sure . Yeah , for real

31:38

. So I went to you know that

31:41

mattress company Purple

31:43

. Yeah , they

31:46

make seat cushions and back cushions . Oh

31:48

, that's cool . It's $238

31:51

for the level up bundle , which is

31:53

an ultimate cushion and a back cushion . I

31:56

think they specifically started making it for , like a

31:58

lot of work from home people . I'm

32:00

getting eight sets of that so

32:03

I can pad the entire bench and

32:05

walls of the back of that vehicle . So

32:07

even if I'm tossed and turned , I'm

32:09

taken care of . That's cool , right

32:12

? So that's going to cost me $1900

32:15

.

32:15

Do they stand up on their own ? You know how

32:17

some of those cushions that , like when you take to games

32:19

, they stand up and you

32:22

lean against them Right .

32:24

I don't think these do Okay , so I think I have to like

32:26

double-sided .

32:28

Take them , or something I'm getting too excited because my butt

32:31

hurts right now sitting on this chair .

32:33

You know what I've been looking into . I

32:37

just got a lap desk Is

32:40

my obsession this week , everyone . It's my lap desk

32:42

. I got it on Amazon . I did a lot of searching

32:45

. I was trying , I

32:47

looked on Etsy , I looked at smaller places

32:49

and finally I got one on Amazon . Listen

32:51

, this lap desk has a tiny

32:54

little light that you can put some batteries in

32:56

that you can plug into a USB on the top

32:58

. So if you're doing something like that

33:00

, you just need a little more light . Bam , you got a little

33:02

light for you . It has a little mouse

33:04

pad tray that will scooch out from

33:07

the side If you want to use a mouse . It has

33:09

it on the left and the right side . Don't

33:11

worry , this is an inclusive lap

33:13

desk and it's heavy and

33:16

you can put like a little drink there if you want . If

33:18

you're not clumsy I wouldn't do it , but I'm telling

33:20

you , if you are not clumsy , you could

33:22

put a drink there . And it has the little ledge

33:24

so your laptop , laptop , laptop

33:27

doesn't slip off . It has the little slot

33:30

so your phone or your iPad can

33:32

stick up so you can watch something

33:34

that's so cool . I've

33:36

been bringing it to the theater for rehearsal so

33:39

I can work .

33:40

Wait , so you can sit up . It's not like in bed

33:42

, you can actually like .

33:44

I can sit up , so I can . It's

33:46

just a lap desk , so it's good for couch

33:48

, nice , you know , bed whatever

33:50

. But I also want one that will support

33:52

my back in the bed . Yeah , because

33:55

, man , I wish I had that on tour , because

33:58

I'd have to sit in bed and do all my work

34:00

in bed because there's nowhere to sit sometimes you know , oh

34:04

, am I still in my day ? Yes , okay , so I've got

34:06

all these cushions , yeah , now

34:09

the next thing I need for this safari is a really loud

34:11

dress with no animal print

34:14

whatsoever , so nobody mixes me up

34:16

with an animal and no one shoots me . My mistake

34:18

, that's smart . So

34:20

I found a really loud , bright

34:22

, you know , single

34:25

color . This is the person wearing

34:27

a dress dress on

34:29

neta porteecom . It's

34:31

a Dutch and Cabana dress . Of course , it's $2,245

34:35

. Oh , I think it's worth it

34:37

if you don't get eaten .

34:39

Yeah , 100% Right .

34:43

Now we go back to the

34:46

resort and

34:49

they have a Yoga

34:53

amenities pack that you can buy

34:55

, because you can also do like a yoga retreat

34:58

at this resort , and

35:00

the yoga amenities pack is like simple

35:03

stuff . But I want a really , really nice

35:05

mat , and I found

35:07

a yoga mat from a company called Baller , and

35:09

they make it from pebble grain

35:11

football leather because

35:14

it's supposed to be non-slip . That's

35:16

why it's pebbled , so that when the

35:18

quarterbacks throw it it doesn't slip

35:20

out of their hands , and they were like , maybe that'll

35:22

work for yoga . Yeah , well

35:25

, sure , I'll give it a try . You know why not

35:28

? Yeah , I can only afford this in my

35:30

10K day , though I'm sticking to the yoga mat I

35:32

have in real life , because this is a thousand

35:34

dollars . Whoa

35:38

, uh-huh , one

35:41

thousand dollars for that

35:43

yoga mat .

35:44

Yeah , that's crazy .

35:45

Like I hope you have inner peace because you

35:47

just spent a thousand dollars on a yoga mat .

35:50

Like there's no amount of stretching that's going to put that

35:52

back in your wallet , or if that's like your job , like

35:54

that's what you do .

35:57

It's what you do and on your

35:59

YouTube channel , where you have a sponsor

36:01

Right , who actually ? did buy it anyway and

36:03

a drone that's filming you doing yoga

36:05

in the Grand Canyon . Yep , yeah , for

36:08

sure . Yep , okay

36:10

. So remember , I'm eating all my food there

36:12

, so I don't really have to think through any of that

36:14

. And after dinner they go

36:16

into your room . You know what I'm learning

36:19

? The fancier the room , the less privacy

36:21

you have . Yeah , because

36:23

they just come in and do all these amenities and

36:27

some of the fancy hotels don't let you put

36:29

a do not disturb for more than 48 hours , like

36:32

they Really require to come

36:34

in . Yeah , like a fancy , like some of the fancy

36:36

, fancy ones I've stayed at , and I'm wondering

36:38

if that's just like a . You

36:41

just have to be used to people coming in and out . I

36:43

don't know if you're super fancy , I'm not sure , but

36:46

after dinner they warm up your bed

36:48

with hot water bottles , so when you

36:50

come back in , because the desert gets cold , your

36:53

bed is warm .

36:55

That's really nice .

36:56

I know . That's why I'm like sure , go

36:59

in . You can , when I'm at the residence

37:01

, in , please stay out of my room for

37:03

weeks at a time , but when I'm at this

37:05

lodge , enter whenever you want

37:07

and do something nice for me please . It is true

37:10

, but if you know that you're going to

37:12

be like on cruise ships , when you know

37:14

you're going to get a cute little animal , you're

37:17

fine with it , but

37:19

if you do that to me at the stay bridge

37:22

, I'm going to be like , excuse me

37:24

, I had the do not disturb sign

37:26

up and somebody went in and made my bed . Jaxi

37:30

, just happened to me Marriott .

37:32

Okay .

37:35

So I'm also going to add , because I know the desert gets really cold

37:37

, I'm going to add the Kohl's Microflannel

37:40

Ultra Velvet Heated Blanket . Now

37:43

it's by 1 get 1.50% off right

37:45

now . So I guess I'll get two and just be really

37:48

warm . So for two it's

37:50

actually an expensive blanket . It's going to cost

37:52

me $625 for

37:54

two of those . Now

37:57

, laundry is

37:59

provided at this resort

38:02

, which is great because

38:04

things are fancy and

38:07

apparently , when you're traveling in this part

38:09

of the world , a lot of the flights you're

38:11

going to be on are between smaller places and

38:13

they have really strict weight requirements

38:16

. So apparently , if you're traveling in these

38:18

places , a lot of people recommend just bring

38:20

like a few outfits and do

38:22

all the laundry there . So , even

38:25

though they have laundry at the resort , I'm still

38:27

going to buy the Scrubba Wash Bag

38:29

. It's $55 . It's

38:32

like a waterproof bag that

38:34

has lined with

38:36

silicone with nubbies on it a

38:39

lot of nubbies so you can put your

38:41

clothes and your soap in

38:43

it and then kind of agitate the

38:46

outside of the bag . Oh , it's

38:48

like what I use for

38:50

my soap .

38:52

I don't know what you mean . Remember how you were like oh I

38:54

want one of those . You put the soap inside of the bag

38:57

and then it becomes so sudsy .

39:00

Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , it's like that

39:02

one for laundry .

39:02

It's perfect for like hotels . Yep

39:05

, that's a great thing and it says you can only do .

39:07

It says you can do like super small loads . But okay

39:10

, yeah , no . If I could

39:12

go traveling and only take four sets of underwear

39:14

with me , do you know what a game changer that would be ? So

39:17

that's going on my real life shopping

39:19

list . By the way , the Scrubba Wash Bag Love it

39:21

. And then I'm going to add in the Laundress

39:24

Classic Detergent , just because it's expensive . I

39:26

think it's one of those detergents that you can smell coming

39:28

a mile away . We all know that detergent

39:30

right , not in the clean

39:32

way , but in the I

39:35

think you cheated on me in 2004 way

39:37

. You know that smell . You know what I mean . Yeah

39:39

, so

39:41

that's 26 bucks

39:43

for the jar of laundry detergent or a

39:45

humpy thing . And

39:48

that brings me to me what

39:50

, and that brings me

39:52

to my total $9,800

39:55

and 90 other dollars

39:58

. I forgot the same numbers

40:00

for a little bit Choreographer

40:04

.

40:04

Close to 10K , there

40:07

we go . Yeah , super

40:09

close , all right . So

40:11

that's what we would do with close to 10K

40:14

in the

40:16

place where the population is only

40:18

428 .

40:19

Yeah , evening shade , arkansas , or

40:22

the place where you can spend an

40:24

evening underneath the stars in

40:26

a bed that people just come in and roll

40:28

you in and out while you're asleep , cause

40:30

when you're fancy , you just don't

40:32

care , right ? Loisaba

40:35

Conservancy .

40:35

Kenya . But here's what we would do if we

40:37

had $10,000 to give away . I

40:40

found a charity that's called Project Night

40:42

Night and it's projectnightnightorg

40:45

, and what this organization

40:47

does is they basically

40:49

put together night night packages and

40:52

give them to homeless children 12 and

40:54

under who need essentials

40:56

. So from everything from

40:58

a security blanket to a stuffed animal

41:00

, to books

41:03

, things that most kids

41:05

who have the luxury of having a home have

41:08

every night and don't even think twice about . So

41:10

they are delivered to homeless

41:13

shelters , to children

41:15

in need , all over the place , and I had never

41:17

heard of it and I thought it was really , really cute . And

41:19

they have little bags that say project night night on

41:21

it with a little lamb , so you can donate

41:24

there . You can also get involved

41:26

in multiple other ways , so you can check them out

41:28

.

41:30

Well , everybody , this is your sign to donate

41:32

to project night night , because it's also the

41:35

charity that I picked off evening . Oh

41:37

my goodness . That doesn't happen very

41:40

often , but I think the only time it happens is with charities

41:42

. Yeah Right , and

41:44

I also loved this charity . I

41:46

mean , I think people are really drawn to it , and one of

41:48

the statistics that they had

41:50

on their site is that one

41:53

in 30 American children will face

41:55

homelessness sometime this year , which

41:58

sounds insane

42:00

, I know , but

42:03

that just seems to me so

42:05

incredibly hard . But then

42:07

I think about the

42:09

housing market right now and how

42:11

entire generations can't buy houses

42:14

because the

42:16

houses are now so much more expensive than the

42:18

average income . So

42:21

what you're making as a median

42:23

income now does not buy a house , whereas before

42:26

it just did so . Then

42:29

, of course , there are going to be kids that don't have

42:31

a home . And of course there are going to be kids

42:33

that are like and I think that

42:36

this also counts people who have to live with relatives

42:38

or people who have to live in a hotel

42:40

for a slight amount of time , and

42:44

I always get stressed out about that because then I know if you don't

42:46

have an address . I know this from experience

42:48

it's really hard to get a job or

42:50

to get a loan or to get a car or

42:53

to figure out

42:55

what hospital you're allowed to go to , or what school

42:57

your kids are allowed to go to , or

43:00

if they can stay in the school with their

43:02

friends , or how do they get to the school . If you have

43:04

to , there's just so much , it's so overwhelming

43:06

. And I can't imagine

43:09

being a kid and thinking like this is

43:11

just what life is , which

43:13

, to be fair , I'm sure that a lot of adults

43:15

can be caught in that thinking

43:17

too right . But

43:19

like , yeah , I

43:23

just want to adopt , like every child that

43:25

I've seen on the news crying in the past , like

43:27

three months as well . Like I'm pretty

43:30

sure that in my past life I ran an

43:32

orphanage , like the little women , like

43:34

how Joe ended up with Mr Bear in a sequel

43:36

yes , I'm nerdy enough to have read all the sequels

43:39

to little women as well multiple times

43:41

she ends up running an orphanage for boys

43:43

. There's a book called Joe's Boys and when

43:45

I was little I was like I think that's going to be . I'm

43:47

going to end up running an orphanage , just

43:50

be an orphanage of artists . Just

43:52

me and a bunch of orphans

43:55

doing the artist's way and

43:57

doing yoga , and each one

43:59

of them I'm going to teach a different instrument . Do

44:02

so they can finally play all the arrangements going

44:04

on in my head . Yeah

44:07

, get ready for that podcast , I guess .

44:09

Oh my God , I love it . Oh

44:12

So yeah , we haven't gotten us

44:41

more of what's going to happen . Also

45:21

, I'm going to keep podcasting . There's going to be a break

45:23

45:28

45:30

that and we'll have information on how you can support

45:38

. So we know that you've been

45:41

along with us for the ride for a while . I'm

45:43

sure that for many of you , that news was surprising

45:45

, and for a lot of you probably wasn't , because you're

45:47

like girls maybe get

45:49

a couple episodes out on time and we're trying

45:51

. Okay , we're just busy . The

45:53

world got crazy and so we figured

45:56

, hey , let's just lay

45:58

this to bed while we

46:00

are still awake enough to lay

46:02

it to bed .

46:03

Yeah absolutely Yep , oh

46:06

, but we do always love to end with our hapies

46:09

, so let's talk about our hapies . My

46:11

happy this week was reclining

46:14

chairs Explain

46:17

. So I was sitting on my couch and

46:19

I realized how old

46:22

and achy I am a lot

46:24

of the time and I was having a moment

46:26

, had some pain going on

46:28

and I was like , oh , I just want to put my feet

46:30

up . And then I was like , wait , I

46:32

can't , this is a recliner . And it

46:34

just made me happy and in that moment I got out

46:36

my phone and I wrote down my happy equals

46:39

recliner .

46:42

I do love a recliner Right . The

46:44

older I get the more I like

46:46

it .

46:47

Yeah , it was great .

46:48

Okay , my happy is a big one . I'm super

46:50

excited . So if you are an American Idol fan

46:53

everyone , oh yes . On February

46:55

18th . I

46:58

have a student that is on

47:00

it . He was one of my first students at pace . His

47:03

name is Luke Michael . So please

47:05

goes , cheer him on and see if

47:07

he gets that golden ticket . And I don't

47:09

know , I don't know the answer . He's been very close

47:13

to the chest , but

47:16

I will tell you that when I reached out to congratulate

47:18

him , he then responded that

47:21

he loved me and he had named his dog after

47:23

me , which , as we know , is the biggest honor a teacher

47:25

can ever get yeah . Listen

47:28

, if you're a former student of mine , you

47:30

don't owe me anything . You need to accomplish nothing

47:32

in your life that you have planned now . I

47:35

don't know how your life is going to turn out and you'll

47:37

have lots of successes that you don't even know is

47:39

happening , but I need you to name a dog

47:41

after me , like that's the one , okay

47:43

? So if you are

47:46

capable of putting that in someone's ear

47:48

, I'm not asking for

47:50

a child . I'm not asking for a child

47:52

after me . That's a lot of commitment , right

47:54

? I'm just asking a dog . I

47:57

want to give you pictures . You know wouldn't kill you . Keep

48:01

it alive a little bit , you know , and every time

48:03

you pet it maybe you remember to warm up . So

48:06

I feel like that might be good

48:08

.

48:11

I mean , but you do love a dog , so you're a love language

48:13

, so I get it , you know .

48:15

I like dogs . I also like people who like dogs

48:17

. I think it's like I

48:20

know that there are mean people who like

48:22

dogs . Yeah , I

48:25

feel like if a mean person who liked a dog

48:27

, who

48:30

already liked dogs , ran

48:33

into a person that they thought

48:35

that they didn't like and they wanted to be mean to , who

48:37

also had a dog , and then the dogs

48:40

suddenly lay down next to each other and

48:42

started licking each other's faces , we would solve

48:44

the conflicts in

48:47

so many places right Now

48:49

. Granted , there are also people who just don't have like . They

48:51

say that there are people who just don't feel that for animals

48:53

they're psychopaths , but they exist

48:56

. No , I'm just kidding . I know that you're out there

48:58

, everyone I know you're out there , but

49:02

there's a lot of people who respond

49:04

to them . And why

49:07

aren't we sending in conflict therapy dogs

49:09

? Yeah , Can you imagine

49:11

if you had this meeting right when

49:13

it starts to get really tense , and

49:16

then you just let seven golden retrievers

49:18

in that room ? I know People

49:20

would instantly be like why

49:23

don't we do that ?

49:24

You think about the pets that they bring into hospitals

49:27

where people are sick ?

49:28

Exactly it calms you right

49:30

. It's scientifically proven that if you're petting a

49:32

dog like , your heart rate goes down , your blood pressure

49:35

goes down . So if you're having stressful

49:37

conversations , global

49:39

conversations , with nuclear buttons next to you

49:42

, maybe we should have some dogs

49:44

in that room , not

49:47

yappy dogs Like old

49:50

dogs that lie on your feet .

49:52

Just like you know what I mean Calm and loving

49:55

.

49:55

Just like the type of dog where when you're talking it

49:58

just comes up and lays its head in your lap

50:00

and you're just like well , I'm sorry , did you want

50:02

a pet right now ? Because you just can't fight

50:04

. If

50:06

a dog looks at you and is like it's just

50:08

really loud in here and

50:10

I was hoping that maybe you too

50:12

would stop fighting , you'd be like okay

50:15

, can you stop raising your voice because you're scaring the dog

50:17

? No , exactly .

50:19

Oh yeah , it's true .

50:21

Well , world , you get that one for free

50:23
