2:46

I'm talking about Prickett

2:53

had one of the more

2:55

disgusting Cases

2:57

of life I've encountered in

2:59

recent recent ever a period

3:02

Wow ever Yeah,

3:04

it was pretty disgusting and I have

3:08

been unwell For

3:10

the sense we've spoken. I was

3:13

like really I've been really sick like

3:15

really unwell like I went

3:18

to Mexico on because

3:21

I didn't know what else to do to be

3:23

fair In

3:26

retro, I mean I was

3:28

not in my right mind And it

3:30

felt like because here's what happened.

3:32

I got sick starting

3:34

like Friday night the Whatever

3:38

20 something no not

3:40

even the 16th 7th 15th Friday

3:45

the 15th. Oh, what's the

3:47

15th? Okay, I did a 15. I got sick. I

3:51

got like that

3:54

body aches and pans and

3:57

I felt so weak like I just was like off

3:59

and I started crying. You know, like,

4:01

when I get sick, I like sob.

4:04

Yeah. I mean, when am I not sobbing?

4:06

I get it, guys. I get it. But

4:08

I really like, I like just

4:10

out of nowhere started crying. And

4:13

I was achy and my body hurt

4:15

and I was so confused, like, what

4:17

was going on. And

4:19

it was just bad. It was like the

4:21

flu. But I felt feverish, but it was

4:23

just weird. It wasn't COVID. And

4:25

then that lasted

4:28

like all day Saturday. I slept. And

4:31

then we were supposed to go

4:33

to Tulum. I

4:35

was taking the kids and Mark was also going and like,

4:38

you know, we were staying in separate places,

4:40

obviously. But, you know, just

4:43

a full Bradley Cooper, Arana. How

4:46

did he say our last name? I

4:48

don't know. You know how they always vacation together with our

4:51

kids. Like, you know, Mark and I are like, we're in

4:53

about five. And our friends, Sam and Vince,

4:55

we're going to be there with their kids. And

4:58

I was like, on Saturday, I was like, I

5:00

don't think I should go. Like, I don't want

5:03

to make because my stomach bass when

5:05

I started, like my stomach started like

5:07

cramping. Yeah. And it wasn't I

5:09

wasn't like even. I

5:13

don't even know if I started having like full

5:16

just water diarrhea. Yeah, I think

5:18

I think I don't remember. But

5:21

it back came back before Mexico.

5:23

I literally my doctor and I

5:26

were like, make my doctor in

5:28

New York. I'm a doctor who kind

5:30

of was cracking me up. We

5:33

were texting like the entire time

5:35

I was there. Yeah. And

5:37

yeah, he was like, you're probably

5:39

one of the only people that

5:41

brings this kind of situation

5:45

to Mexico. It's like the

5:47

Chuck Norris meme like like

5:49

Busy Phillips gives Mexico diarrhea.

5:51

No, so mean. But

5:54

yeah, true, I guess. But

5:56

anyway, yeah, I was like, so sick. And

6:00

on Saturday night, I was just like, I don't know

6:02

what the fuck to do. Like I can't even see

6:04

straight. I'm not packed. Like ever. I just feel like

6:06

I feel crazy, but the

6:08

idea, the thought of like not

6:12

going with the kids was bumming

6:15

me out. And then I

6:18

was like, what if this is just like a 48 hour thing? And

6:21

then I'm like totally better tomorrow. And

6:23

then I'm like annoyed that I'm not

6:26

there. And then I have to figure out how to like

6:28

get there. That all seems

6:30

complicated and whatever. So

6:33

if I knew now

6:35

what I knew, wait,

6:38

if I knew then what I know now, I

6:40

would have not gone. I would have stayed

6:44

in New York, probably gone to the doctor.

6:47

Probably avoided this skin condition

6:49

that I now have. Guys,

6:52

I can't even. I can't even.

6:56

So, but I didn't. I went, I sucked it

6:58

up. It was miserable. The flight

7:00

was miserable. I actually don't even, I was in like,

7:02

I was still so sick. I

7:06

was just in

7:08

so much pain. Like

7:10

my body was just in so

7:12

much pain. I wasn't, there's no

7:14

coughing. There's no like, it was

7:16

a stomach thing. Yeah. I

7:19

thought it was food poisoning because I was thinking about

7:21

a thing that I had eaten. Yeah, as you said.

7:23

Yeah. And I felt like it was food

7:25

poisoning, but now I don't even know because

7:29

I think the skin thing that I got

7:31

can be also triggered virally at like the

7:33

end of a virus. So

7:36

yeah, guys, then I got a

7:38

skin condition and then cricket got, okay. But

7:40

anyway, my whole point is that Mark

7:44

basically was just like taking care of

7:46

the children the entire time. Sure. I

7:49

was not well for most of it.

7:51

Yeah. Got better one

7:54

day. Yeah. I felt

7:56

like good. Yeah. Wednesday.

8:04

I went and did some like healing

8:08

ceremony in like

8:10

in like essentially like a

8:12

sweat dome. Oh,

8:20

God. Yeah. What am I?

8:22

What's wrong with me? Go breathe other people sweat.

8:25

Why didn't somebody say to me like, Hey, guess

8:27

what? You've actually been sick for almost a week

8:29

straight, like shitting and vomiting, like laying

8:33

in a hotel bed, like not even like

8:35

doing anything more. I

8:38

like I would like go and lay out and like read

8:41

my book for like, yeah, an hour. And

8:43

then I would go back into

8:45

the room. Anyway, you weren't eating

8:47

anything. Right. Mine. Obviously

8:49

not. It's like when I got my tonsils out and

8:51

I tried to order pizzeria. No, no, no,

8:54

exactly. Exactly. This is and nobody

8:56

was like, Hey, don't do that. Wait, where

8:58

are those people? I need those people. I

9:01

need to have because the thing is, like,

9:04

I think you and I both have really

9:06

strong intuition. And I think we have a

9:08

really witchy vibe. But sometimes

9:10

I think when it comes to ourselves,

9:13

we're like waiting for, we're

9:15

waiting for a mom. Yeah, waiting for a parent to

9:17

show up and be like, Hey, can I take care

9:19

of you for a second?

9:21

Listen, listen, true. That's true. And

9:23

I think that we're

9:26

both independent. And

9:28

so maybe people think that we're

9:30

always independent and people don't want to

9:33

like cramp our style. But when you

9:35

literally have cramps, you

9:38

need someone to like step in and be like, Okay,

9:40

I'm going to take charge for like, and also

9:42

it would have been great if anyone had

9:44

been like, Hey, you know,

9:46

you just started feeling better. You don't go

9:48

do like intense ceremonial

9:53

healing

9:56

situation. But I did feel I was like,

9:58

I'm totally empty. Yeah. part of

10:00

me is empty right now. So maybe this is

10:02

the perfect time for me to do this thing.

10:05

Yeah. Well, you don't

10:08

want enough streaming documentaries. Obviously not

10:10

because yeah, no, I ended the

10:12

night like vomiting so intensely.

10:15

There was no drugs, by the way.

10:17

I'm just saying that for everyone. I

10:19

didn't have a sip of alcohol. No

10:22

drugs for, yeah, like

10:25

well over a week. I

10:27

mean, literally, yeah, like almost two. I just

10:29

had this operall spritz last

10:32

night that Emily made me. I think that's the

10:34

first alcohol I've had since I've

10:36

been sick. And then I, but anyway, you

10:38

got our back on the horse, Emily. There

10:42

was never a question. A horse has been

10:44

waiting patiently. Waiting right there for you to

10:46

get back on. No,

10:49

but like, yeah, I vomited

10:51

so with

10:54

such force that I felt like I bruised

10:56

my ribs and my ribs hurt for two

10:58

days after. But anyway, so then,

11:00

so, but

11:03

then I was like, but then again after

11:05

I, that night vomited, I

11:08

went to bed. Oh

11:10

my doctor. Like, what are you

11:12

doing? He's like, oh good. So you went

11:14

to a sweat lock. That makes so

11:17

much sense. I'm, I'm proud of you for

11:19

making all of these good decisions. I was

11:21

like, you know what, dude, I don't want

11:23

to hear it. So anyway, but

11:25

he did give me some good advice, but

11:27

so anyway, I, then

11:30

we flew to Arizona the next day

11:32

on Friday and I

11:37

felt okay. I actually felt okay on Friday

11:39

and I, and we're driving from the airport

11:43

to hit in and out. Of course. That's

11:45

my first stop. Like, you

11:47

know, we lay on dead at night. We

11:50

go to in and out and I'm

11:52

like itching my leg weirdly in the car

11:54

and I was like, why is my leg

11:56

itched? go

12:01

to the hotel, check in,

12:03

go to bed. I'm

12:06

so tired. That's the other thing. I've

12:08

been like, I was like, I could not

12:10

wake, I was just like sleeping so much.

12:12

I've been so sleepy. And

12:14

I was so exhausted. I felt like

12:16

passed out. And when

12:18

I woke up in the morning, I was like, that's

12:20

weird. My feet are sunburned. The tops

12:23

of my feet are sunburned. And

12:25

it feels weird. Shrug

12:27

emoji. I have so much to

12:29

do. Christmas is in two days. I

12:32

haven't gotten a present for my niece.

12:34

I need to do all these errands.

12:36

I need to wrap all these presents.

12:38

I need to like do grocery shopping

12:40

to cook for my family for Christmas,

12:42

even on Christmas. There

12:45

was just all of these things I had

12:47

to do. In addition, there's like a whole, there's

12:50

just a lot of drama happening in Arizona

12:53

at the moment, which

12:55

is just totally,

12:57

yes. So

13:01

anyway, and like at

13:03

a certain point, I

13:05

looked at my calf, calf,

13:08

calf, calf muscles.

13:10

Just one calf. One calf.

13:12

And I was like, ah, what happened? Oh my God,

13:14

that's so weird. What is that? I

13:17

guess I really scratched myself with

13:19

my fake fingernail too hard or

13:21

something. And it like must have bruised.

13:23

Okay, why I didn't immediately

13:26

recognize that like I

13:28

couldn't have scratched my nails, like that my

13:30

nails wouldn't have caused what I was looking

13:32

at. You know what I mean? But that was

13:34

just like what I assumed it was. Yeah.

13:38

Okay. So then over the

13:40

next three days, oh,

13:44

then the next day I was like cooking.

13:48

And when I went to pee, I

13:51

was like pulling my jeans up and I like

13:53

scraped on my butt with my jeans. And I

13:56

was like, ah. And then I

13:58

like felt my butt and it was like all wet. I'm

14:00

like, what the fuck? Okay,

14:02

you guys, I'm sorry, this is so gross. It

14:04

was like giant blisters on my- Oh no.

14:07

Oh. That I didn't even like, I

14:09

was like, my butt kind of hurt, but you know

14:11

I'm like one of those random bruise girls. Yeah. So

14:13

I thought I had like run into something and there

14:15

had been a bruise. Right. I didn't realize

14:17

that I had two giant blisters on

14:20

my fucking ass. And

14:22

then I looked and I was like

14:24

covered in these like blisters

14:26

everywhere on my legs. And

14:29

then I noticed on my feet where I thought that

14:32

they were sunburned, they were blisters on top. It was,

14:34

so anyway. Wow.

14:38

It's been a journey. So

14:40

then, so then I

14:42

was sending pictures to my doctor and I'm like,

14:44

do I have shingles? Like what the fuck is this?

14:46

Right. And he's like, it

14:48

does look like shingles, but it's bilateral. And

14:51

this is interesting guys. Shingles apparently only happens

14:53

on one side of your body. On one

14:55

side, yeah. I mean,

14:57

honestly, the only time it happens

14:59

bilaterally is if you're already severely

15:01

immunocompromised. Like when you have

15:03

like advanced AIDS or

15:06

cancer treatment or whatever. So

15:09

it seemed unlikely that I was like some

15:11

exception to that rule. And

15:13

so then he was like, what it seems like to me

15:15

is that this is, you've had this, that

15:17

whatever the stomach thing was, was in fact

15:19

a virus, not food poisoning. That

15:22

this was like working its way out of your

15:24

body. And this is like the final three or

15:26

ass blisters. This is

15:28

like the final frontier, or this is the final thing.

15:30

Oh, but by the way, on my

15:32

calf, that thing, like it was just

15:34

fully blisters. And

15:37

they were, it was painful. It's like just

15:39

so bizarre. Oh my gosh. And

15:42

I was so out of it. I just felt so weird. So,

15:44

but there was nothing I could

15:47

do. And also like other

15:49

than like hydrocortisone and

15:51

like chill, ointment, you know,

15:53

whatever. Hydrocortisone

15:55

and chill. Yeah, guys. That

15:59

was my Christmas. So,

16:03

but so then, so, but

16:05

Mark had been really

16:07

taking care of the kids and,

16:10

you know, Cricket's in this phase now

16:13

where she's pre-teen and

16:16

she doesn't really want us like taking

16:19

care of her, you

16:21

know, in the way like, She wants some

16:23

privacy. Correct. So he was

16:25

letting her shower and do her hair

16:27

herself. Yeah. Cut

16:29

to. He

16:32

and Birdie left Arizona the

16:35

day before we were leaving because I

16:39

was going to stay and see my parents a little

16:41

bit more and Cricket wanted to

16:43

like hang out with her Arizona friends and see her

16:46

cousin more because, you know, they're friends. Yeah.

16:49

And so she and I, so she

16:51

had been staying with, when we were

16:53

in Arizona, Mark came for Christmas with

16:55

the girls, like non-negotiable for them. Yeah.

16:59

We had been staying, we obviously

17:01

have separate rooms. And so

17:03

Birdie was in like my room with me, like my,

17:05

I had like a suite with

17:08

a pullout couch and then Mark and Cricket were

17:10

staying in the same room. Okay. So,

17:12

so we moved, Cricket

17:14

and I moved hotels when

17:18

we, when they last and we just had one

17:20

room. Yeah. And

17:23

she was like out late with my

17:26

sister and like

17:28

at my

17:31

sister's sister-in-law

17:34

at Bob's sister's house. The

17:37

night that Mark and Birdie left, I'm just

17:39

trying to explain like how I didn't know. Okay. So

17:42

Cricket was out late. She came back. I was

17:44

like, Hey, bud, your hair is like, looks really

17:46

naughty. And I know you've been like trying to

17:48

take care of it on your own and without a lot

17:50

of help from dad, but I'm going to

17:52

need to brush your hair out after a shower. Okay.

17:55

And he's like, Oh, tonight, can we not

17:57

do it tonight? And I was like, fine.

18:00

we can do it in the morning. Okay. I

18:02

wake up in the morning. So long

18:05

story, but I realized that I had less like, the

18:09

hairbrush and like all this shit at my parents house.

18:11

Yeah. So I go to my

18:13

parents house and I get the stuff for

18:16

crickets hair. And I'm like, you need to get up babe, because

18:18

we're gonna go soon and you have a play date with your friend,

18:22

whatever. And I come back lights are out and I come

18:24

back. And I'm

18:27

like, okay, you gotta get in the shower. So she gets in

18:29

the shower. She comes back for me to brush her

18:31

hair and I'm like, Oh

18:34

my God, she's covered

18:37

in light. Like,

18:39

you guys, like

18:42

I was like, Oh no, I'm a

18:44

terrible parent. To be fair, I

18:46

like haven't stayed with her for like 12 days. Like

18:48

we haven't been in the

18:50

same room together. Basically, I was sick. I've

18:53

seen, I've obviously been with her, but you

18:56

weren't looking through her hair for sure

18:58

not. And like I said, she's been very

19:01

like, I can do it. I'm doing my

19:03

own thing. You know? So

19:06

it's not even like, I don't even blame

19:08

Mark particularly like, no, except that, you know,

19:10

I blame him for everything before I saw

19:12

this. I'm sorry, but you know what I

19:14

mean? But like, yeah, it was just like

19:17

a perfect storm. Life happens. I

19:21

guess life happens. But so then

19:23

I'm just like, are you fucking kidding

19:25

me? So I'm

19:27

like, girl, I got bad news

19:30

for you. We're fucked. Like you

19:32

have nothing but life in

19:34

your hair. And she's like, Oh, that sucks.

19:36

Like, so I'm phased by it.

19:38

I'm like, you're not phased by this. And she's like, no,

19:41

what do you do? It's just like a treatment, right?

19:43

Like everyone I know has gotten life. Yeah.

19:45

Okay. Fair enough. She's just never had it

19:47

before. Yeah. I

19:51

might stay here. So I run to a drugstore.

19:54

I get the treatment.

19:56

I go back to the Hilton.

19:58

I'm sorry to the Hilton. I get

20:04

like, I like boil water to do dip

20:06

the brush in, you know what I mean?

20:09

And then I spent the next like two

20:11

and a half hours doing it myself. Oh

20:13

my gosh, which is what normal people do, obviously,

20:15

but like everybody that I've said that this happened,

20:17

they're like, Oh, did you get one of those

20:19

life fairy ladies to come over and do

20:21

it for you? And I was like, that's

20:24

a I feel like that's a coastal more.

20:27

I feel like

20:29

it became I feel like it's

20:31

everywhere. Is it everywhere now? I think so.

20:33

I feel I've definitely I saw it in

20:36

Charleston. Okay, I saw one of the places

20:38

in Charleston. Yeah, there are like these hair

20:40

salons now guys, if you don't have them

20:42

where you live, maybe you want to be

20:44

entrepreneurial and open your town. But

20:47

like, it's like a little hair salon phone

20:50

where you take your little kid

20:52

when they have lights and they they

20:54

just do the light, the

20:57

loud thing for you. Yeah. Because

21:00

they have to say, well,

21:03

I did I did say to my sister,

21:06

I guess like having

21:08

a mother that has like sort of

21:11

OCD tendencies. Yeah, as I do. Yeah,

21:13

this is like a perfect application for

21:15

it. Yeah, because I was like, so

21:18

thorough and was kind of just like,

21:21

able to like just vote. I just like, took

21:23

my ADD pill. Yeah. And he's

21:25

hyper focused. And I just like,

21:28

I just nitpicked

21:30

the shit out of that little hair.

21:32

Oh my god, it was like, definitely

21:36

stressful at the end of

21:38

all the things. And still, I didn't know what the fuck was wrong

21:40

with my body,

21:42

like what these weird welts

21:45

were all over myself, because, you

21:48

know, my mother was like, well, I

21:51

can make a reservation. She's like, I

21:53

can make an appointment with the dermatologist

21:55

here, or we can go to the

21:57

hospital. And I was like, I'm

22:00

not, no, I'm just, I'll wait.

22:02

I'm going to go to LA. I'll go see

22:04

my dermatologist that I've seen since I was 19.

22:06

Dr. Lancer who can figure everything

22:08

out. Right. I've never had a

22:11

skin situation that has stumped him.

22:13

Right. And

22:16

sure enough, I saw him this morning and he was like,

22:18

oh, darling. And then

22:20

he like explained what it was. And I

22:23

sent it to you and you knew what it was because you

22:26

know what everything is. Well,

22:29

you know that I love

22:31

doctoring and science. Yeah.

22:36

I mean, it was definitely like,

22:39

it's called something guys. Hold on. I'll tell

22:41

you what it is. It's basically like I

22:44

had a reaction, like my, which

22:46

makes sense. It's the Kevner

22:48

phenomenon. The Kevner phenomenon. The Kevner

22:51

phenomenon. It

22:54

describes an appearance of new skin lesions,

22:58

like of a preexisting dermatosis in

23:00

areas on a cutaneous injury on otherwise

23:02

healthy skin, but the epidermis and dermis

23:05

to be injured. Anyway, he's

23:07

like, it can be a little bug

23:09

bite. He

23:12

was saying that he thought it was

23:14

like from a small bug bite in

23:16

Mexico. Yeah. That I

23:18

had an allergy to the protein. Yeah. Of

23:21

the bug bite. Which makes sense because

23:23

I happen to be allergic

23:25

to everything always. And

23:28

then my like itching spread

23:30

it. Right. And

23:34

then it becomes like really

23:37

crazy. The

23:41

reason I knew what it was a little

23:43

bit is because when Eli was

23:45

little, and

23:48

this was also right before the

23:50

holidays, coincidentally, he erupted

23:53

in a rash that

23:56

was very blistery. And

24:00

And then very quickly, like

24:02

it was alarming how

24:05

quickly he was covered in this rash, but he

24:07

was little. And by the time

24:09

we had gotten him like whatever

24:11

the next day to the doctor, the little

24:14

blisters had turned

24:16

into like bull's eye looking things.

24:19

And then they turned into bruises. Yeah. And

24:22

so... Oh, by the way, I'm just

24:24

looking at this thing and it looks like it

24:26

could have actually also been from the sunburn. Yeah.

24:29

It was a little sunburn. Yeah. He

24:33

thought it was probably a

24:35

little bite that I thought. Yeah. I

24:37

mean, which you can never know. You can never know. Eli's

24:40

was from what we were told

24:42

at the time that he was

24:44

exposed to someone who had the

24:48

herpes virus, so like a cold sore, and

24:50

that he was having a reaction to the

24:53

herpes virus. And that's

24:55

what caused his explosive

24:58

rash. But here's

25:00

what's interesting is what Eli had

25:02

was called erythema multiform. And

25:07

it's similar in some ways to

25:09

this Keppner phenomenon. But

25:16

my mom was a social worker and

25:19

they got a call about a kid

25:21

that was covered with little tiny

25:24

bruises. And someone said that someone must have

25:26

been pinching the kid. The

25:30

parents were like, no, no one's been

25:32

near this kid. Like she

25:34

had a rash and then it turned to rings

25:36

and then it turned to bruises. And

25:38

my mom was able to say, oh, that literally

25:40

just happened to my grandson. Okay. So what's interesting

25:43

is like all up my right

25:45

leg, my left leg has like literally

25:48

looks like lesions or like, because it's

25:50

real, it's real cute over here. I'm

25:52

not going to lie. I've

25:54

been, it's been a situation.

25:57

Yeah. So my left

25:59

leg. has like the blisters on it, but

26:01

my right leg, it literally looks like somebody has

26:03

pinched me all over. It looks like bruises. It

26:06

looks like somebody like, well, poked

26:08

me really hard or like whatever. They're bruised.

26:10

They look like bruises. Yeah. Anyway,

26:12

guys, ending the year. Strong.

26:17

Finishing strong. Finishing strong. I'm

26:19

so, I'm so, I'm

26:23

glad for this year to be

26:25

over. This

26:31

show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

26:34

Listen, I know that's been

26:36

a lot of gifts flying around people getting

26:38

gifts, giving gifts. But

26:40

here's a question for you. Do you give

26:42

yourself good gifts? It's

26:45

a good question. Do you give

26:47

yourself the gift of

26:50

starting therapy? It's going to

26:52

be a new year. Sounds like a good idea. Give

26:55

yourself some love. Yeah. Because

26:59

here's what I know. I wouldn't have

27:01

missed it through this year without therapy. For

27:05

sure. For sure.

27:07

And the

27:10

benefits of it are great. And even if

27:12

you're like a person that is

27:14

like, I don't know, I think things are fine.

27:16

27:19

help you with coping skills. Therapists

27:21

can help you learn how to set boundaries. Do

27:24

additional charge. It's a really fantastic way

27:48

for you to start to make

27:50

things easier for you. Especially

27:53

in the new year. I think this is a great thing. A

28:00

lot of people, I feel

28:03

like put off their

28:05

own self-care or their own mental health

28:07

28:09

Better help. Oh,

28:42

hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

28:46

Hi. We know that children's

28:48

vitamins are mostly just candy

28:50

and disguise because they're just

28:52

candy, sugar,

28:54

gummy junk, dummies, sticking

28:57

their teeth. And then you got to take them to the dentist.

28:59

And the dentist is like, what have you been feeding

29:02

these children? You get

29:04

shamed by your pediatric dentist. And

29:06

they're like, oh, those tummy vitamins. And

29:11

they're like, those are the worst things for

29:13

your children's teeth. And that's

29:15

true. And it's why Hya was

29:17

created. It's a pediatrician approved, super

29:19

31:26

you have a nice Christmas? It

31:29

was really nice. We had a nice Christmas.

31:32

So many of our friends had

31:34

COVID, which I felt terrible about.

31:36

But I guess

31:40

the positive is that nobody

31:43

got too, too sick. So I

31:45

was just feeling so bad for

31:47

everyone that got their travel plans

31:50

messed with. But we made the smart decision

31:53

to not have any travel plans in

31:56

the first place. And so, yeah, we just had a really

31:58

nice Christmas. It was just us and... And

32:01

it was so nice. This was a year

32:03

where, you know how sometimes you just have

32:06

years that are like that hit, you know,

32:08

like the kids say, and sometimes, you

32:10

know, you just have years where you're like, was

32:12

it even Christmas at all? Like it just, but

32:15

this was just a year where I

32:17

felt like, well,

32:20

for one thing, my kids went,

32:22

well, so whole

32:24

hog with Christmas, like from the

32:26

jump, from like, Lincoln is a

32:28

Christmas lover. I think he's like

32:30

me, it must be genetic. He

32:32

loves Christmas movies, music, decorating,

32:34

all that stuff. Eli

32:36

is less so, but both of them

32:39

just like day after Thanksgiving, put up

32:41

the tree, decorated the tree, helped

32:44

out with everything, got out the Christmas

32:46

movies. We watched a Christmas movie every

32:48

night. Oh my God. It was

32:50

very- You guys have like a fake tree. We

32:53

do, we do. Because

32:55

we always got a real

32:57

tree in Connecticut, but here

33:00

in California, I just feel like it's a

33:03

recipe for dryness

33:05

and possibly fire, you know?

33:07

So yeah, fake tree. And

33:10

it just goes up quicker and you can have it when

33:12

you want it, you know? Yeah.

33:16

Yeah. I

33:18

don't have any room to store anything, so.

33:20

Oh, right. There's that. Did I

33:22

ever tell you the story about, when

33:26

we lived in Brooklyn, we lived in

33:28

a lot. So we had like 25

33:30

foot ceilings and some places, in some

33:33

places it was in half. So it

33:35

was like 12 and a half, still very tall. And

33:38

so the first year that

33:40

Eli was born, I think, we

33:45

were like, we had always been getting

33:47

like a tree in New

33:49

York City, in case you don't know, you just go

33:51

out to like the corner deli and there's like a

33:53

guy selling trees, like a man from Canada, like selling

33:55

trees out there. And you just buy

33:58

one for like $75. way

34:00

too much. They're

34:02

everywhere. And so the

34:04

year that Eli was born, we were

34:07

living in this loft and Matt and I, I

34:09

mean it wasn't just Matt, I'm not gonna say

34:11

it was just Matt, but we had

34:14

these visions of like getting the

34:16

tallest tree possible and you couldn't

34:18

like buy that from the corner

34:20

deli. You have to special order.

34:22

Yeah. Or as Matt did, he

34:25

went to, he drove to New Jersey and

34:28

drove to a Christmas tree. Yeah. And he

34:30

was like gonna cut down. I love it.

34:33

And so he cut down, I don't

34:35

know, the biggest tree I think he found was like

34:37

nine feet tall or whatever. And he brought it home

34:39

and he was like keeping me updated. This is pre-cell

34:42

phone. He's keeping me updated the whole way he's calling

34:44

me because I'm at work and like letting me know

34:46

like, I'm on my way to New

34:48

Jersey. I'm gonna find a Christmas tree farm. I found

34:50

a farm. I found a tree. I got the tree

34:52

home. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then

34:57

I don't hear from him for a little while. And

35:00

then I hear from him that he

35:03

got the tree up.

35:05

He was very sweaty and itchy from

35:07

putting the tree up. So he went

35:10

to take a shower and found that

35:12

he was covered in hundreds of ticks.

35:16

And that's horrifying.

35:19

That's almost as horrifying as

35:21

my lesion. I asked him

35:23

that. So he was like, can you

35:25

come home and like get these ticks off me?

35:27

And I was like, I mean, not really. Like

35:29

what are we gonna do? Like we can't have

35:32

a tiki tree with the

35:34

baby. So what are we gonna do? I

35:37

can't remember what he did. I can't remember if

35:39

he just like chucked his prize tree

35:41

like out on the street immediately or

35:43

what happened. But

35:45

I was reminded of it this year

35:47

because a lot of my friends, like more than

35:50

one friend, threw out their tree before Christmas

35:52

because their trees had aphids this

35:55

year. some

36:00

type of bug that I don't, it's

36:03

just, let me

36:05

just say, like the light doesn't

36:07

surprise me in the year of aphids

36:09

on Christmas trees. And yeah, I'm just

36:12

like, it's

36:14

so gross.

36:16

It's all

36:18

so gross.

36:20

Well, I'm glad that you're feeling better

36:22

now. You're the skin that's showing on

36:24

you now. Well, no, it didn't go.

36:26

Here, I'll show you my leg. Wait.

36:28

Yeah, I can. Oh, but

36:31

you know what? Oh my

36:33

God. No, magic fucking cream

36:35

from Dr. Lancer. I

36:37

just put this cream on a couple hours ago. It

36:40

looks so much less

36:42

angry. Yeah. Oh my

36:44

God. That's amazing. Wow. Wow.

36:47

Wow. Guys, Dr.

36:49

Lancer never has done me wrong. I

36:51

gotta say that guy. He really, since

36:55

I was like in my early twenties, it's

36:58

crazy. Yeah. He's

37:01

seen it all. Well, your skin

37:03

is your business. So I'm glad you have

37:05

Dr. Lancer. I know. Me too.

37:09

But yeah, it was a nice Christmas. The boys

37:11

were super thoughtful. Lincoln

37:13

made me some

37:16

action figures of some of the characters

37:18

from It's a Wonderful Life. He painted

37:20

them like black and white. George Bailey.

37:22

Yeah. I saw that on the Instagram.

37:24

So cute. Eli hunted high and low

37:26

to find these drawer pulls that matched

37:29

the other drawer. Oh, right. We were

37:31

wanting those. Yeah. So did he

37:33

get them? He found them. Amazing.

37:35

Deep research. Then they got me

37:37

like a tambourine from

37:39

Princess. Oh yeah. Yeah.

37:41

I mean, listen, can I be real? I

37:44

know what's going on. Yeah. You know all that stuff.

37:46

I know all that. Yeah. So it was good. And

37:48

then we just, um, oh,

37:51

and Matt got me the thing. It

37:54

made me very happy because he must have listened to

37:57

me on Kool-op and Soojin add

37:59

to cart. podcast because

38:01

I was invited on their podcast to talk

38:04

about like what I would get as a

38:06

gift for the person who has everything and

38:08

I talked about this device

38:11

that generates hypochlorous acid which I'm

38:13

very interested in. I don't know

38:17

what that is. Hypochlorous acid is

38:19

very useful, disinceptant, but it's also

38:21

very gentle and not harmful so

38:23

there are like... For what? What

38:26

are we using? You can use it to clean

38:28

your house but you can also use it on...

38:31

It's in a lot of skincare products

38:33

and a lot of things. You can

38:35

also use this device to just generate

38:37

fresh hypochlorous acid. It doesn't last for

38:39

very long. It only has like a shelf

38:42

life of maybe two weeks because

38:44

it like degrades over time. So you

38:48

could buy like a big gallon bottle of it but unless

38:50

you're gonna use it up all at one time

38:52

plus it's expensive. So anyway my husband bought

38:54

me this device to make hypochlorous acid and

38:56

I've just been cleaning things with

38:58

it all the time. I mean that sounds nice.

39:01

It's pretty fun. It's pretty fun for

39:03

me. I like to

39:06

generate a chemical using

39:08

my own laboratory equipment.

39:11

So yeah it was nice. How about you? How

39:14

was Christmas itself? It

39:16

was totally good.

39:21

It was good. It was good. Yeah. Yeah. It

39:24

was good. That's good. Did

39:26

the kids have fun? Yeah, I

39:28

think so. Good. I

39:31

think it was just... It's been a

39:33

lot. It's been a long... It's been a

39:35

long December. As

39:37

the Counting Crows say. They

39:40

made a whole song about. As the Counting

39:42

Crows say, it's been a long December. But

39:44

then they say maybe this year will be better than

39:46

the last. Maybe next year. Next

39:49

year, yeah. Which

39:52

is almost here. Is almost here. Thank God.

39:56

I mean truly thank fucking sweet lord

39:58

because... I'm

40:01

not, but you know, but

40:03

I, but I'm not going to be, I'm

40:06

just going to be like, I'm sure.

40:08

I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful, but

40:10

not, I'm not, I don't want to be

40:12

like, uh, I don't want to oversell

40:15

it. Right. It's just going

40:17

to be, it's going to be a year. I'm not a new year. Yeah.

40:20

At least for, for real a new year, an

40:22

actual new year. And I'm

40:24

hopeful that it will be, uh, better

40:27

than the last. That's true.

40:29

No, no, no, no, no,

40:31

no, no, no, no, no, no,

40:34

no, no, no. Um, yeah.

40:37

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

40:40

Yeah. Oh my

40:43

gosh. Oh yeah.

40:45

Yeah. Did

40:48

you see any good movies? Did you do anything? I

40:50

saw, I didn't watch anything.

40:53

I didn't watch any of the screeners.

40:55

Yeah. Like the new movies. I

40:57

mean, salt burn. I'm not, I'm

40:59

probably not going to watch that, but I

41:01

didn't. People are talking about it. People

41:03

are talking about it. Just so you

41:05

know. Okay. So like I'm busy

41:07

as a member of SAG-AFTRA. Yeah.

41:10

I'm the director's guild. And the director's

41:12

guild. I am, um, a

41:15

member of the writer's guild. And

41:17

so for award season, they

41:20

send us screeners of all of the things

41:22

that are trying to be nominated for

41:25

awards. So sometimes you get to, you

41:28

get screeners. It used to be like DVDs. It

41:30

used to be VHS tapes would come to your

41:32

house, but now then it was

41:34

DVDs for years. Now it's weird.

41:36

Like, I think it's weird because

41:38

I get so many emails, just

41:40

emails saying like, here's a digital

41:42

screener. Watch it. But

41:44

also, but also not digital screeners too. They

41:47

also do like go

41:49

to these four screenings if you

41:51

want to see it. Yeah. Four

41:53

free screenings in LA or New York. I'm

41:55

never doing. I mean, we're not doing. I

41:58

might. I don't know. I

42:00

don't know what I'm doing in 10 minutes. I can't

42:02

play a map. So

42:06

here's what I'm saying. I even

42:08

find that I got

42:10

some DVDs this year, which we still have

42:13

a DVD player. I understand. I've not gotten

42:15

any. I don't think that I thought they

42:17

weren't sending them at all. I thought they

42:19

were done. Then there's also codes that

42:21

you put into your Roku or

42:24

your Amazon. Well, if you're

42:26

in the Academy, there's

42:28

an Academy app. Yeah. So

42:31

there's all different ways, but I have to say

42:33

the all different ways that really gets me off

42:35

track. I used to sit and watch every single

42:37

DVD like boom, boom, boom, boom. There

42:40

is some idea. It's so weird because

42:42

I actually agree with you. I feel

42:44

like there was something easier about

42:48

just getting DVDs. Well, I'm, you

42:51

know, well, it felt special and

42:53

oh my God, I'll never forget

42:55

the year that the only movie

42:58

that I was really hoping to see

43:00

was Sweeney Todd. And it

43:03

I just never got the DVD for it. And

43:06

I was like so bummed out, but I dutifully

43:08

watched all the other ones. And then Sweeney Todd

43:10

was like delivered on Christmas Eve, like a Christmas

43:12

miracle. And I was so happy. But

43:15

now it's just like, yeah, if I look

43:18

at my emails, I'll have probably a

43:20

couple dozen emails about movies that I

43:22

could I guess like download. But like

43:24

do I want to watch it on my laptop? Do I want to figure

43:26

out how to make it go on to my television? I

43:28

don't know that I'm I don't

43:30

know that I'm that invested, but I did

43:32

watch American fiction and I did enjoy it.

43:35

What's that? That is. Oh,

43:39

it looked I remember it. I now vaguely

43:41

remembering it looks like something I want to

43:43

watch, but I don't remember what it is.

43:45

A frustrated novelist who sped up with the

43:47

establishment that profits from black entertainment that relies

43:49

on tired and offensive tropes to

43:51

prove his point. He's the pen name to write

43:54

an outlandish book of his

43:56

own, a book that propels him to the heart

43:58

of hypocrisy and the madness. to

44:00

disdain, but it

44:03

had Sterling K. Brown in it. So, I was in.

44:06

You know, I saw him at my facialist once.

44:08

You did? Did you say

44:10

that you loved him? We

44:13

said hello. We did say hello to one another.

44:15

It's a very small, it's like, it's not like

44:18

a fancy, the woman that I go to here

44:20

in LA, I've

44:22

talked about her before, but it's not like

44:24

a super fancy place. It's literally like in

44:26

her back. It's in her ADU. It's

44:30

thinner, her like back guest house.

44:32

ADU stands for accessory dwelling

44:34

unit. If you live in Los

44:37

Angeles, you know ADU is a very, it's a hot word.

44:42

They had like word of the year

44:44

specific to cities. I feel like

44:47

ADU would be added to the

44:49

Los Angeles dictionary because ADU is

44:51

like, also no one anywhere else

44:53

calls it ADU. I'm sorry. They

44:55

don't get it. It's a guest

44:57

house or a back house or

44:59

a pool house. It's not a

45:01

fucking ADU, but everyone here is

45:03

like my ADU, my ADU, the

45:05

ADU I'm putting in ADU. I'm

45:07

like, guys, just fucking put it in a

45:09

guest house. So

45:11

annoying to hear. Why do I think that people

45:13

say ADU because it sounds like the she

45:16

she then guest house? It's insane. It's

45:19

like, I have no idea. Somebody obviously

45:21

marketed it. It's just been marketed

45:23

to us somehow. I don't know why.

45:25

It's also like the legal term

45:27

for like, you know, you know

45:30

what? Yeah, I

45:33

think that's what it must be. It must be

45:35

what that permit here is called. And I don't

45:37

know if it's called that in other places, but

45:40

it just, it really, it really, all of

45:42

a sudden out of nowhere in

45:44

like the last like five years,

45:46

the word of the term edu

45:49

has become because what I bought when I

45:51

had my old house here, or it

45:54

was called a guest house. Yeah, bought it

45:56

when we Oh, the house has a guest

45:58

house. Yeah, those people. fold that house

46:00

it would be called an ADU. I

46:04

don't know. Anyway, what

46:07

was my point about the ADU? What was I talking about?

46:10

No, I was talking about something else. Sterling

46:13

K. Brown. Sterling K. Brown at your facial. Oh yeah, yeah,

46:15

yeah. So all I'm saying is that like, yeah,

46:17

so we were in, we were, we were

46:19

shipped passing. We were facial ship pass,

46:21

ship pass. He was, he was getting

46:24

a facial before me. At

46:26

my, at my facial.

46:28

And yeah, and it

46:30

was just like he was really

46:32

nice. He was really nice. Beautiful.

46:34

I feel like I've run into

46:36

every cast member of This Is

46:39

Us at various awards shows and

46:41

events. And I feel uniquely

46:43

guilty because I know I have looked,

46:46

looked around them to see if Sterling

46:48

K. Brown was like behind anywhere, like,

46:51

like good for you, whoever

46:53

you are, but where's

46:55

Sterling? He's pretty incredible. He's my

46:57

favorite. Yeah, he's great. He's very

47:00

funny in the role of Randall

47:03

Pearson. But he has great

47:05

pathos. I just want to say he does. Yeah, I

47:07

wish I could see that movie. I mean, I will

47:09

see. I probably, I don't know if I'll see it.

47:11

I don't know. Listen, I have to

47:13

take birdie to the movie tonight

47:16

that she had the seizure and don't

47:19

know. See, she's seen it

47:21

since she saw the mockingbirds and

47:23

blue jays or whatever the facts and

47:25

hunger games, but she

47:28

really wants me to see it. And this is

47:30

totally a case of like, I'm just taking

47:33

one for the mom. Like as, as a mom, I'm

47:35

just taking one for the team. I'm like, she

47:39

wants to share it with me. Or I

47:42

would be an asshole if I was jerky about it.

47:44

Right. Don't want to go see the movie, but

47:46

I'm sure it'll be you guys. I'm sure it'll be. I

47:49

know it's not about that. I just like, if

47:51

I get, if I get to see

47:53

a fucking movie in a movie theater, you want

47:55

to, I would love to see something that I

47:58

like really would like to see. I'm

48:00

sorry if that sounds bratty. I just feel like so

48:03

much of this holiday is

48:05

not for moms. And

48:08

you know what I mean? It is true and

48:10

probably not for dads, not for parents

48:12

really. But like I just

48:14

feel a little bit oppressed

48:17

currently by the last few weeks of my

48:19

life. Yeah. The last, the last month

48:23

to the year

48:25

of my life. Yeah. But the last seven

48:28

years of my life. I would say the last seven years of my

48:30

life. I did see

48:32

a meme of a dog that was like watching

48:37

these people rob you blind because the last

48:39

time I barked you told me to shut up. My

48:45

brain just works in memes now. Um,

48:49

but anyway, so yeah, so I'm going to take birdie

48:51

to see that tonight. So

48:53

that's what I'm doing. But I would

48:55

like to see that movie you speak of because

48:57

that sounds like something I would love. I

49:00

think you would like it. I can recommend

49:02

it to everyone. We really, really enjoyed it.

49:04

And that out of the whole stack of

49:07

DVDs and codes and everything,

49:09

that's the one we went for.

49:11

I'm also looking forward to watching the

49:13

color purple. And I think I will

49:16

watch Timmy

49:19

Chalamet and Wonka for,

49:21

um, there's chocolate. I

49:26

only know that from our favorite

49:29

YouTubers, uh,

49:32

Kaitlyn and Weston, Corey. See

49:35

you guys, my frames of references are just like

49:37

teen. They're not your own. Teenagers. Yeah. They're not

49:40

my own. I'm not, except that I did read

49:42

Death Valley and I loved it so much. And

49:45

I gave it to you. You had it sent

49:47

to me. Thank you so much for that. I didn't have it sent to you.

49:49

Oh, did you drop it off yourself? No, I

49:51

was in Mexico shitting my brains out. No,

49:55

I was on a plane. I was on a

49:57

plane to Mexico feeling sick. No,

50:01

a little elf named Emily Beebe dropped it

50:03

over at your house for me. That's so

50:05

nice. Do you want to hear something insane?

50:08

I read the book, this book

50:10

Death Valley. It's wonderful that Busy

50:14

had Emily bring to me, which was so

50:16

nice. You should have said

50:18

hello. She didn't want to stop. She was late

50:20

for something. It

50:22

was like, it was like a, she was just really,

50:24

it was a drive by. Really elfin. It

50:27

was really elfin. A drive by book dropping. But

50:29

I read the book and today

50:31

I texted our friend Melanie, who

50:33

I know through Emily Beebe. And

50:35

I said, I just read this

50:38

book that Busy gave to me

50:40

called Death Valley. And

50:42

I just want you to know that in

50:44

my mind movie of the book, you

50:46

were the lead. And I wanted you to know that you

50:49

got the part. And she texted

50:51

back, Oh my God, guess what I'm

50:53

reading on Libby right now. And

50:56

she sent me a screen cap that she

50:58

too is reading Death Valley. Oh my God.

51:00

Isn't that wild? That's fucking wild. No,

51:02

I find myself as the lead. Emily

51:05

showing you right now, she took a picture of my doorstep with,

51:07

well, I requested the picture.

51:15

Amazon style. Yeah. No,

51:17

I needed proof of delivery. So I requested that

51:19

she take a picture. Now I'm getting it. Emily,

51:21

now I love that book even more now that

51:23

I know that you brought it to me. I'm

51:25

so thoughtful. That was, I mean, okay, Casey, whatever.

51:28

Nobody knew it was doubly thoughtful of both of

51:30

you. I thought it

51:32

was my door dashed it or

51:34

something. I did. But via Emily

51:36

Beebe. I

51:40

did door bash it. Bee,

51:43

Bee, Bee bash. She's boar bashed

51:45

it. How

51:50

good is that fucking book? It was really

51:52

good. It was really good and really quite

51:54

funny. Emily, yeah.

51:56

Emo. And it's

51:59

one of those kind of books. that you read it and

52:01

like it makes you like want

52:03

to write and do a good job at it.

52:05

Yes. Yeah. I

52:08

felt the same fucking way. And

52:11

I also was just like, I don't

52:13

know. And I feel like, I don't

52:16

know. I highly recommend that book.

52:18

You know, I don't read a lot, guys.

52:20

So it's gotta, it's gotta take, it's gotta

52:23

take something for me to get into it

52:25

all the way. I don't know how much. Are you out of

52:27

your mind? No. I've

52:30

been terrible at reading for years now.

52:32

Interesting. Wait, I've read though,

52:35

like it's always this time of year when people

52:38

are posting, they're like, all the books

52:40

I read this year, but I loved it. It

52:42

was like 47 books. And I'm like, how, why,

52:44

how? Show

52:46

me what are you doing?

52:49

What are you doing that you're able to

52:51

read 47 fucking books this year? So

52:53

I read two. Yeah. The

52:56

whole fucking year. Okay. So I read

52:58

Death Valley. Miranda

53:02

July's book that comes out in May

53:04

that I'm like, truly obsessed with. Okay.

53:07

It's called On All

53:09

Fours. On All Fours. On

53:12

All Fours. We'll find out in May.

53:14

Guys, it's literally like, it's

53:17

a game changer. It was like a

53:19

game changing book. Okay. I like can't

53:21

even recommend. It's a novel.

53:23

Okay. She's like my, I think

53:25

she's one of my favorite writers. Anyway,

53:29

so I read Death Valley and I read Miranda's

53:32

book that is coming out in May. And

53:37

is that it? That's it. There

53:39

was one more, I think I read maybe one more

53:41

book. I think

53:43

there was one more, but I can't remember what it was. Oh,

54:49

everything you wanted. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you

54:51

didn't get anything. Yeah, maybe. We

54:53

don't know. Treat yourself to something

54:55

that we are telling you 100% will not be

54:58

a disappointment at all. It

55:01

will not disappoint. I'm telling you, it

55:03

will not disappoint. The Brilliant

55:05

Albrightner is a highlighter stick and

55:08

I've just smeared all over my face at this

55:10

point. I'm not even going to

55:12

use you guys. I'm like my entire eyelid,

55:14

my cheek, I'm like

55:16

above my lip. I'm

55:18

just covered. Just everywhere. I'm

55:21

covered. The tops of my

55:23

boobs. These are my

55:25

clavicles. I put the Brilliant Albrightner

55:27

on my clavicle. Listen,

55:30

it works. I use

55:32

the mascara to touch up my eyebrows

55:34

when I'm traveling. Obviously. Why

55:37

wouldn't you? Well, that liquid lash

55:39

extensions mascara, I'm telling you, I was wearing it today

55:41

at the nail salon and a woman was like, you're

55:43

so beautiful in person and I was like, it's really

55:45

just the mascara. I'm

55:48

not kidding. I shared a little humble

55:50

of a brag, but I

55:52

truly think that if I had

55:55

not just freshly applied my

55:57

liquid lash extensions mascara. I

56:00

think she would have been like, oh, you're so I

56:03

love you. You know what I mean? She

56:05

complimented my books because my eyelashes were

56:07

just speaking to her. Yeah, I'm convinced.

56:09

Yeah. Anyway, also, I love

56:12

that smoothing lipstick. It's really,

56:14

really so fantastic. And it like really

56:17

stick and it doesn't fade and it doesn't

56:19

dry out my lips. And I am a

56:22

permanent. I just love it. I love it

57:07

the deodorant cream. Talk about things we always have

57:09

57:11

tube of the deodorant cream in my

57:13

purse. Well, that's ideal. It's ideal. Here's

57:16

the other thing I'm just going to

57:18

say. I think that in sweater season,

57:20

especially with global warming, you just never

57:22

know. You start the

57:25

day wearing a cashmere sweater

57:27

perhaps. And

57:29

by 2 PM it's, you know, up to

57:32

70 degrees and

57:34

you're sweating everywhere. And

57:36

you're just like, I really need some.

57:40

But with Lumi, the whole

57:42

body deodorant, I mean,

57:44

which isn't just for pit, but also you

57:46

can put it on feet. You

57:48

can put it on your private under

57:50

boob under boobs beyond. It

57:53

blocks odor all day, thanks to

57:55

its one of a kind pH optimized

57:57

formula. There are over like.

58:00

275,000 five-star reviews. Yeah, but all you

58:03

need to know is that it works

58:05

and it smells great and you

58:07

don't smell period like

58:09

it's just gonna be like You

58:12

don't have to worry about BO that

58:14

when you're when you got Lumi Lumi

58:16

has you covered and is created by

58:18

58:23

and mistreated And so it's

58:25

baking soda free paraben free pH balance

58:27

all those things that you want But

58:30

the most important thing it controls

58:32

odor for up to 72 hours up

58:35

to 72 hours up

58:38

to 72 hours And

58:42

it's better it's clinically proven to control

58:44

odor better than a shower and soap

58:46

alone. It's like Incredible.

58:49

58:51

Guys, I'm Telling

1:00:20

you you gotta do it I Do

1:00:27

you ever listen to audiobooks well,

1:00:29

I reread sort of

1:00:31

Andrew Reynolds books right? Oh, right

1:00:33

on audiobooks Okay, okay. That doesn't

1:00:35

really count. I mean, I

1:00:37

know people think it counts. I don't like it counts I'm

1:00:40

sorry, maybe it counts for you. And if

1:00:42

you're listening and it counts for you, Cory,

1:00:44

but that's great But to me, it's not

1:00:46

reading a book. Okay. All right, I really

1:00:48

got to a book feels like watching a

1:00:51

movie I really got into listening to audiobooks

1:00:53

this year like

1:00:55

when I was In

1:00:57

my pool or whatever. Yeah, a little water

1:00:59

box. Listen, I'm not opposed to

1:01:01

it. I'm just saying it's not the same thing Yeah,

1:01:04

no, but better

1:01:06

than listening to What

1:01:09

rush limbaugh who's listening to

1:01:11

rush limbaugh? Exactly

1:01:13

my point if I weren't people it weren't for

1:01:15

audio. I think he's dead right is either. Oh

1:01:18

shit. I Mean

1:01:20

I wouldn't say RIP but no. Yeah, I hope

1:01:22

you know no peace but no I hope he

1:01:24

knows no peace Why was I thinking of rush

1:01:26

limbaugh? I know why because when you said that

1:01:28

you vomited so hard that year I bruised

1:01:30

my rib bruised your ribs. I Have

1:01:33

told you that Matthew broke

1:01:36

his ribs sneezing two times in

1:01:38

one year. That's a week. That's a that's

1:01:40

a week. We grip. Yeah We grip. Um,

1:01:42

I have strong ribs But

1:01:45

he got Oxycodone this is

1:01:47

years ago. He got oxycodone they

1:01:50

just gave it right to him and Of

1:01:53

course because he's Matt and he doesn't even

1:01:55

like take a Tylenol or whatever unless like

1:01:57

you really have to urge him to take a Tylenol He

1:02:00

just put it in the medicine

1:02:03

cabinet and then I got a

1:02:05

really bad period and I was so crampy and I

1:02:07

had to go to work and I was like, I'm

1:02:10

just going to take one of these pain pills. Like

1:02:12

I just didn't even, I had no idea. I

1:02:15

took one and I was like, not

1:02:17

only are my cramps not bothering

1:02:19

me, I have an incredible sense of

1:02:21

well-being and I'm just, I feel

1:02:23

great. Well that's, this is what

1:02:25

happens. That's what's the problem. Yeah, 100%. Anyway,

1:02:29

I took another

1:02:31

one, I think the next day

1:02:34

and then Matt was like, I

1:02:37

don't even know how it was found

1:02:39

out, how it was, I mean not found out. It

1:02:42

was just like, I think he was like,

1:02:44

you seem like you're feeling okay even though you have your

1:02:46

period. And I was like, oh yeah, I was taking your

1:02:48

pain pills from when you broke your ribs that you didn't

1:02:50

take. And he was like, fucking

1:02:52

furious. And he was

1:02:54

like, I just remember him holding up

1:02:56

the bottle and being like, do you

1:02:58

know that these pills are why Rush

1:03:00

Limbaugh went deaf? And I was like,

1:03:03

I did not, I

1:03:05

did not know that. And he was like, yeah. And

1:03:08

then, but then I was like, why do we have them here?

1:03:11

Why? Yeah. Why

1:03:13

do we have them here? And then so

1:03:15

I immediately shifted blame off of myself from

1:03:17

taking drugs that were not prescribed to me.

1:03:19

I think that's right. And I didn't

1:03:21

know what you did was exactly right. But I was like,

1:03:24

let's throw them out. Like I don't think it's,

1:03:26

but um. But yeah, but

1:03:28

now like I

1:03:31

didn't realize like you're not really supposed to even, you're

1:03:33

not supposed to flush them down the toilet. You have

1:03:35

to be like very specific. You're supposed to like turn

1:03:37

them in. Right. You spoke

1:03:39

to which I only know because when

1:03:42

Eli got his wisdom teeth out, they

1:03:44

were like, we're going to give you

1:03:46

hydrocodone or whatever. And Eli

1:03:48

like still high out of his mind from

1:03:50

the anesthesia was like, no, I don't want

1:03:52

it. I don't, I don't want to bring

1:03:54

that to my house. And they were like, uh,

1:03:57

they were like, well, it's fine. If you need it,

1:03:59

you'll take it. And if you don't then

1:04:01

like flush it down the toilet and Eli

1:04:03

was like Toxic

1:04:08

and like my son high on drugs

1:04:11

was like lecturing an entire

1:04:13

dental medical office about drugs

1:04:17

feels a little bit to me like We

1:04:21

have some issues handing

1:04:23

out the Hydrocodone don't

1:04:25

know that You

1:04:28

can't flush it. Yeah, all I

1:04:30

know is that We

1:04:32

don't bring it into my house sure. No, I mean listen

1:04:36

it's like the only person who's ever gonna take it

1:04:38

is me and I should not and Yeah

1:04:42

This all makes sense But

1:04:48

um, yeah, I want to read more

1:04:50

books this year I want I'll also

1:04:52

listen to some audiobooks I like I

1:04:55

like the way that some people read audiobooks

1:04:57

and then sometimes it's a real it's a

1:04:59

real trip Like it takes you out. Yeah,

1:05:01

sometimes it takes me out and we remember

1:05:04

that audiobook that we listen to Like

1:05:10

if somebody has like a weird way they pronounce

1:05:12

anything yeah, then you get just like you can

1:05:14

that's all you can think about Really

1:05:22

It was definitely 25 years ago, yeah,

1:05:24

we listened it was a book on

1:05:27

like seven CDs no

1:05:29

CDs. Oh, wow. It was CDs. It was

1:05:31

like seven. I Know

1:05:34

we drove me here for college. Oh my gosh

1:05:37

but yeah, I I'm

1:05:39

like guys. I'm not trying to be

1:05:42

a hater about audiobooks and if that's your

1:05:44

vibe. That's your vibe I just to me

1:05:47

it's two different things Yeah,

1:05:49

reading a book and listening to a book

1:05:53

and and and there's Valued

1:05:55

about I think you know, I think

1:05:58

there's value to both things. Yeah But

1:06:00

also for me because I'm a visual learner, I

1:06:02

kind of need to read. Well,

1:06:04

here's when I was asking if you

1:06:06

listened to audiobooks, I

1:06:08

also picture that you would just stop

1:06:11

paying attention to an audiobook. Yeah, I,

1:06:13

my mind wander. But like, yeah, it's

1:06:15

like even if there has headphones in

1:06:17

my mind is like, yeah, the

1:06:19

person will say a thing and then I'll be like,

1:06:21

off on that tangent. Right.

1:06:25

Like in my head. And then I'm like, wait, what happened? Oh,

1:06:27

God. I find myself, I

1:06:30

do find myself rewind it. But

1:06:32

the same reason why I don't really like podcasts and

1:06:34

guys, I love you all. But you

1:06:36

know, I can't listen to them. It's not funny.

1:06:39

I don't like it. I don't like

1:06:41

it. I don't like a podcast. And

1:06:43

then some my mind wanders just like

1:06:45

anything. But I like the ones that

1:06:47

sound like NPR. Yeah. Or

1:06:49

like, like, you know, like cereal, like

1:06:51

I liked the first cereal. Yeah. Because

1:06:54

I could like pay attention to the way that

1:06:57

it was structured. My brain understood the story of

1:06:59

it. Yes. And

1:07:01

how I was supposed to be listening to it. Do you know what I mean?

1:07:03

Yeah. If I'm just listening to people talk, I'm like, I don't

1:07:05

know what this is. Like I can't. And

1:07:08

then also I find myself like talking back and

1:07:10

like, I want to say you're waiting for your

1:07:13

chance to talk. And this is not happening.

1:07:15

You know, like Casey Wilson's not asking me.

1:07:17

You know, it's like, well, here we are.

1:07:20

Like, and I, you know, I don't

1:07:23

know. It's hard for me to

1:07:25

listen to things that aren't music. I love music.

1:07:27

Yeah. But anyway, that's

1:07:30

my story. I'm sticking to it. I don't think

1:07:32

it's possible for you to listen to more music

1:07:34

in the new year. Oh, no,

1:07:36

I'm not interested in listening to more music. I listen to

1:07:38

enough. Have you seen, have

1:07:40

you participated in the meme that where

1:07:42

people are making lists of what they

1:07:45

think are in and what they know?

1:07:48

I haven't. No, but I haven't. I've

1:07:50

also not been well. So

1:07:52

you still have time. I know. No,

1:07:55

not sure. So I don't know what I'm going

1:07:57

to do. I don't know what I'm going to participate in. I

1:08:00

decided after I read the thing about how

1:08:03

like no one's posting on the grid anymore

1:08:05

Oh, yeah a little bit kind of was

1:08:07

like is that my thing? am

1:08:09

I just gonna start posting like take back

1:08:11

the three times a day like just multiple

1:08:15

photos like just constant Baraging

1:08:18

photos, maybe that's what we do to

1:08:20

take back the grid take back the

1:08:22

grid Oh my god hashtag take back

1:08:24

the grid Also a lot

1:08:26

of people are still only looking

1:08:28

on the grid So like good for you

1:08:31

if you're only posting stories on Instagram But

1:08:33

a lot of people aren't looking at stories still

1:08:35

they never went up top to stories. They're still

1:08:37

only looking on the grid So weird what one

1:08:40

I had a story yesterday that had

1:08:42

such high Numbers. Yeah,

1:08:44

I was like why I don't

1:08:46

understand how that happens. They

1:08:49

Instagram is so algorithms

1:08:51

I Don't understand

1:08:53

anything that's happening there. I mean it's we're

1:08:56

it's hot tub time machine guys. We're in

1:08:58

we're in hot tub time machine That's all

1:09:00

I'm gonna say. I don't know what that

1:09:02

means I never saw the movie, but I

1:09:04

just like I feel like we're in some

1:09:06

sort of Time warp.

1:09:08

Yeah, wait. It's oh I

1:09:12

Oh, I got troll. Not trolled. I got

1:11:25

like called

1:11:27

anti-Semitic on Instagram for a

1:11:29

minute. Yeah. Who called

1:11:31

you anti-Semitic? I just opened Instagram to look to see if

1:11:33

there was anything interesting happening. And

1:11:35

then it reminded me. You guys, I was

1:11:38

fully like put on

1:11:40

blast because on

1:11:42

Christmas, Lisa Ling posted this thing

1:11:45

that was like, okay,

1:11:48

TBH. I

1:11:50

don't know. I mean, everything is like so

1:11:52

confusing right now. But first of

1:11:55

all, when I was scrolling

1:11:57

and I saw it and read it. always

1:12:00

assumed, which she then after

1:12:02

she she deleted it and then posted

1:12:05

a thing, I assumed, which

1:12:07

is what her intention was,

1:12:09

that she was like, posting

1:12:11

about immigration, like about Jesus being

1:12:13

an immigrant, right? Yeah. Because

1:12:16

everybody knows that Jesus is Jewish. Like that's

1:12:18

like, literally, like, that's

1:12:21

like, maybe like, the

1:12:23

number one thing everyone agrees on. Sure.

1:12:26

Right? Like, whether

1:12:28

or not he's like the Son of God

1:12:30

is the question. Right, right, right. Right. Like,

1:12:32

everyone's like, definitely Jesus

1:12:35

was Jewish. Right, right.

1:12:38

Anyway, this woman like put me

1:12:40

on her fucking Instagram because I liked

1:12:42

her post. So Lisa posted something that

1:12:44

was like, I don't know people are

1:12:46

posting fucking shit. I don't fucking know.

1:12:48

I like Lisa. I was like,

1:12:51

Oh, she's like, we should be nice to

1:12:53

immigrants. Right. Merry Christmas. Right. I was like,

1:12:55

basically what I took away from it. So

1:12:57

like, liked it. So then people

1:13:00

were people were saying people

1:13:02

were saying whatever it got

1:13:04

spun up into this thing

1:13:06

that Lisa was listening was

1:13:09

being anti-Semitic and somehow implying

1:13:11

that Jesus was Palestinian. And

1:13:13

that like, and

1:13:15

that it was anti-Semitic and this

1:13:18

whole journey. And this

1:13:20

woman posted a real and

1:13:22

opposed about it. And then was

1:13:24

talking about how anti-Semitic, how insane

1:13:26

it was, how anti-Semitic it was.

1:13:28

And then she was like, Oh,

1:13:31

and Fizzy Phillips liked it and

1:13:33

spelled my name wrong, which you know

1:13:35

is my fucking right. That's my fucking

1:13:37

thing. Yeah. That's your pet peeve. It's

1:13:40

my pet peeve. But also it's like more.

1:13:42

It's more than a pet peeve, because it's

1:13:44

also like, if you're going to

1:13:46

invoke my name, goddamn it, fucking

1:13:48

spell it right. Do you

1:13:50

know what I mean? Right. Right. If you're going to call

1:13:52

me out, or if you're

1:13:54

going to praise me, fucking spell my

1:13:56

name right. Right. Do your research. Do

1:13:58

your own research. It's there.

1:14:00

It's out there. And also you fucking cunt

1:14:03

before you call me anti-Semitic. Do your own

1:14:05

research! Fucking

1:14:08

idiot. And by the

1:14:10

way, I get it. Everybody's tumptions

1:14:12

are hot. Blah. Anyway. Lisa

1:14:16

responded and she

1:14:18

was like, which I also liked. Just so you

1:14:20

know, I liked the response as well. Okay. Okay.

1:14:23

Alright. Because then I was like, by the way,

1:14:25

when I read this woman's thing and then watched

1:14:27

her reel, I was like, what the fuck is

1:14:29

she talking about? In what way was Lisa Ling...

1:14:32

She was literally like, Jesus

1:14:34

was an immigrant. Wouldn't

1:14:36

it be great if we could all be welcoming to

1:14:39

immigrants? Right. You know what I mean? Like

1:14:41

that was how I read it. And it was like a

1:14:43

two second scroll. Yeah. Like whatever. Okay.

1:14:47

But then I was like, oh, maybe I

1:14:49

missed a thing. Like I'm, by

1:14:52

the way, very open to like

1:14:54

having been wrong about something. Right?

1:14:56

Yeah, sure. But then Lisa literally

1:14:58

was like, oh, people

1:15:01

have thought that I was,

1:15:04

you know, implying

1:15:06

that he was not

1:15:09

Jewish. Like

1:15:12

I shouldn't have assumed that that, like

1:15:14

that people would, you know what I mean?

1:15:16

Like, yeah. She just was like, I fucked

1:15:18

up because I worded it poorly and I

1:15:21

was just trying to make a link about

1:15:23

immigration, immigrants and refugees. Right. And the issue

1:15:25

of a violence. Right. Like that was what

1:15:27

she, which is literally how I had read

1:15:29

it. Yeah. Because I

1:15:32

wasn't reading until I see something.

1:15:35

You know what I mean? It's very difficult. In

1:15:37

this point. Yeah, sure. It's

1:15:39

very difficult to figure out

1:15:42

why someone's even mad. But this woman,

1:15:46

like whatever. I don't even know if she's taken

1:15:48

it down. I didn't respond to her. I'm not,

1:15:50

you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. But she

1:15:52

tagged me even though she spelled my fucking name

1:15:54

wrong. That's also my puppy. So she

1:15:56

like called me out and spelled my name wrong,

1:15:59

but then tagged me. and my name

1:16:01

is spelled correctly, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:16:03

You have to do better. You know

1:16:06

what I mean? Right. Yeah. I'm sorry.

1:16:08

I just feel like do better. Anyway,

1:16:10

so I'm sorry

1:16:13

I'm laughing, but I was realizing

1:16:15

the absurdity of what I'm saying.

1:16:17

Yeah. But so, yeah, so she

1:16:22

like, but this woman has like a

1:16:24

lot of followers, this lady, and

1:16:30

my dermatologist in New York liked

1:16:33

it. Oh no. And so

1:16:35

now I'm like, well, am

1:16:38

I going back to this woman? Like I

1:16:40

can't like, what? And

1:16:43

then I literally was like, what

1:16:45

am I doing? Like who cares? But

1:16:47

also did she even read the whole

1:16:50

thing? Like, dude, this is, it doesn't

1:16:52

exist. None of this exists. Like this

1:16:54

is all, you know what I mean?

1:16:56

Because it's like, well, first

1:16:58

of all, none of it is doing

1:17:01

anything to solve anything. 100%.

1:17:04

Like I'm not, was sort of part of

1:17:06

what I was like, the

1:17:09

conclusion that I came to in my own

1:17:12

brain. I mean, first of

1:17:14

all, I was never going to like respond

1:17:16

to it because there was just

1:17:18

no reason for me to. Like it

1:17:21

was truly, I mean, I didn't see

1:17:24

that you assumed the best in what

1:17:26

you read and that

1:17:28

the intention was by the way, exactly what

1:17:31

then we saw was like, Oh, my intention

1:17:33

was like, I was drawing a line

1:17:35

about immigrants and refugees. Yeah. Which is

1:17:37

what I think that that was

1:17:39

your takeaway. That was your interpretation

1:17:42

as well. It was. That's

1:17:44

number one. Number

1:17:46

two, none

1:17:48

of it like means anything. Oh,

1:17:51

all we're doing like,

1:17:53

sort of like if you're making

1:17:55

donations or you're volunteering in some

1:17:57

way, all we're all doing on

1:18:00

online is like signifying

1:18:02

our position, like we're sharing

1:18:04

our position on something and letting people know

1:18:06

where it is we stand. Yeah.

1:18:10

And by the way, and I

1:18:12

think in terms of like social

1:18:14

media activism as I have been

1:18:16

participatory in it so much myself,

1:18:18

I think that there's a great

1:18:20

deal of information that can, like good

1:18:24

information that can be spread. Certainly.

1:18:27

Yeah. And also I

1:18:29

think information in

1:18:31

terms of giving

1:18:33

other people like ways

1:18:37

to be participatory

1:18:39

in person. Right. So

1:18:42

like, I don't know, for me, a lot of the stuff

1:18:44

like, you know, hinges on

1:18:46

like action, like

1:18:49

actual action, like steps people can

1:18:51

take. Oh, if you live

1:18:53

in this state, this

1:18:55

election is super important. Right. Here's

1:18:57

the information you need to know. You're a girl. You

1:18:59

can go. Yes. And like, this

1:19:01

is how you can help if you don't live in this

1:19:03

place. And and

1:19:07

this is my stepping up in that, you know what

1:19:09

I mean? Right. But

1:19:11

like a lot of what

1:19:13

I think like the what

1:19:15

has devolved, you know, or

1:19:18

seems to have devolved into

1:19:22

this, like it

1:19:25

is people like thinking that they

1:19:28

are activists

1:19:31

by posting like infographics

1:19:33

or reposting things that

1:19:36

they've seen. But again,

1:19:38

it's like there are

1:19:40

certain things where it's like I we're

1:19:43

in a real war

1:19:46

on information and on truth. Right.

1:19:49

Because it's so easily manipulated.

1:19:51

And so I do feel like

1:19:54

you have a responsibility to,

1:19:56

sorry, do your

1:19:58

own research. Right. And

1:20:01

there are certain,

1:20:03

when I'm talking about, or when you're

1:20:05

posting or whatever about, if

1:20:08

I'm putting information out about a

1:20:11

ballot measure that has

1:20:14

to do directly with

1:20:16

abortion and

1:20:20

women's rights to choose

1:20:23

in a state. I'm

1:20:25

getting that information from the

1:20:27

Center for Reproductive Planned Parenthood

1:20:29

or one of the

1:20:32

leading organizations that deals with that

1:20:34

specific thing. So it's vetted and

1:20:36

I know that it's good information.

1:20:40

I just think that there's such a

1:20:43

glut of bad

1:20:45

actors who

1:20:47

are perpetrating a lot of stuff

1:20:50

and then getting people spun up about

1:20:52

things that are like, I

1:20:54

don't know, it's just not helpful. It's

1:20:57

not helpful. And it's not

1:20:59

helping people to be

1:21:01

able to navigate and disseminate what is

1:21:03

true and what is not true because

1:21:06

the truth is, fucking anti-Semitism

1:21:08

is on the rise and

1:21:10

it's fucking directly affects my family.

1:21:13

And yeah, it's

1:21:16

terrible and I'm terrified. And

1:21:20

what I don't need is some fucking bitch

1:21:22

calling out, I'm sorry, some

1:21:24

fucking bitch calling out like

1:21:26

Lisa Ling, me and Jennifer

1:21:28

Garner for some fucking bullshit.

1:21:32

By the way, not perpetrating

1:21:34

anti-Semitism. Like, if she,

1:21:37

whatever. If Lisa Ling

1:21:39

needed to be like clearer in her

1:21:41

intention on her Christmas post, fine. I

1:21:44

understood what it meant. But I also wasn't

1:21:47

looking for anti-Semitism in Lisa's post because I

1:21:49

know her. And

1:21:51

I knew that immigration

1:21:56

and refugeeism is

1:21:58

a thing that she cares deeply about. Obviously.

1:22:00

So... Ugh.

1:22:03

Anyway. Anyway. I

1:22:05

was like, not thrilled. Yeah,

1:22:09

I can imagine. It's... That's

1:22:12

it. I mean, I haven't... I missed all of this. I

1:22:14

haven't seen any of this. No,

1:22:17

I just... I actually don't know, because I... But

1:22:21

I missed all of it, but

1:22:24

it's really hard when you're like,

1:22:27

what is this doing? Well, that also is like,

1:22:29

you got me for something? For

1:22:36

what? Yeah, like for what? I mean, I

1:22:39

liked a post that you didn't ask me what I

1:22:41

thought the post meant. I mean, you know what I

1:22:43

mean? Right, right. Also...

1:22:48

I don't know. And it would be easy just

1:22:50

to be like, I don't know, is... I

1:22:53

don't know. Is Lisa Ling one

1:22:56

of our foremost red

1:22:59

flag carriers in the

1:23:01

war against anti-Semitism? Not in my experience.

1:23:04

You know what I mean? So, it's just... It

1:23:07

doesn't... I get it. People's

1:23:10

emotions are high, but I just

1:23:12

feel like they're a probably richer,

1:23:15

bigger target to go after,

1:23:17

to use your platform to go after. Well, 100%.

1:23:20

And I think

1:23:23

for me, why I had to just... I

1:23:25

just fucking turned my phone off. I was like, I'm

1:23:27

sorry. I

1:23:30

have a skin condition and I'm still

1:23:32

basically shitting blood. So, now

1:23:34

my dermatologist, Cindy York hates me. Thank

1:23:37

you. Cindy York! It's like you

1:23:39

get them. I mean, I don't even fucking know.

1:23:41

I just was like... Well,

1:23:43

I mean, that part, I

1:23:45

couldn't even... I

1:23:47

can't even process that situation.

1:23:50

You can never go down that rabbit hole of looking at

1:23:53

what people you know like or don't

1:23:55

like. It'll break your brains every time

1:23:58

when you're like, I kind of like that. That's someone

1:24:00

I just had faith with and they're

1:24:02

liking this thing. Well,

1:24:04

I think I don't know. I think it's kind

1:24:06

of good to know that. But like, it

1:24:09

always breaks my brains and then it

1:24:11

breaks my heart sometimes. So I don't.

1:24:13

Really? You ever, is someone, are you

1:24:16

ever surprised? Here's what I do worry

1:24:18

sometimes that like when I, like sometimes,

1:24:20

because I have so many memes that

1:24:22

pop up. You know what I mean? Yeah,

1:24:25

meme, you know what I mean? And

1:24:27

who knows what the source of those are.

1:24:30

Well, that's what I'm saying. Sometimes

1:24:33

I'm afraid with memes that

1:24:35

I'm like, you're gonna like

1:24:37

something that, like somebody, then

1:24:40

like four posts back, they posted like

1:24:42

a Confederate flag. And someone's gonna be

1:24:44

like, why you love a Confederate flag poster?

1:24:47

Yes, I swear to God, that occurs

1:24:49

to me all the fucking time. So

1:24:52

instead I just send the meme to Alan Sorsinski and

1:24:55

then I move on. Oh my

1:24:58

goodness. Yeah, it's dangerous out there.

1:25:01

But also, yeah, I think you did the right thing.

1:25:03

Just turn your phone off and you, you're

1:25:06

doing okay. You're

1:25:09

doing. Well, I just also

1:25:11

was like, I cannot even, I

1:25:13

cannot even respond to this because, yeah,

1:25:15

I don't have the energy and I

1:25:17

don't. And I also am like, also

1:25:22

like if maybe if the person

1:25:24

had just said, what do you mean by that? I'm

1:25:27

just out of curiosity. Like what do you mean?

1:25:29

Like you probably would have answered. Or by the

1:25:31

way, what if she had just done that to

1:25:33

Lisa Ling? Right, right. Like what if she had

1:25:35

sent her a DM that was like, hey, I'm

1:25:37

genuinely curious because here's how it's reading

1:25:40

to me. Right, right. Instead of like

1:25:43

this post and then real,

1:25:46

that was like calling, I

1:25:48

mean, wow, wow, wow, wow. Oh

1:25:52

my goodness. Well, I think

1:25:54

that people that know Lisa Ling and

1:25:56

people that know you and also. for

1:26:00

my dermatologist. Except for your

1:26:02

dermatologist. Well, I think know

1:26:06

that like your heart

1:26:08

is in the right place and also like I'm

1:26:10

sure this woman's heart

1:26:12

is in the right place. It's just probably isn't

1:26:15

the it's not effective. Well for

1:26:17

sure. And by the way, I'm

1:26:19

not opposed to calling out like

1:26:23

people that are really spreading like hate

1:26:26

speech and anti-Semitism.

1:26:28

Right. Even like being you know

1:26:32

like ignorant or whatever. Sure. You

1:26:35

know what I mean? But like

1:26:37

yeah of all the of all

1:26:40

the targets in

1:26:42

all the in all the Instagrams.

1:26:45

No. Sorry that happened. It was it

1:26:48

was just annoying. In

1:26:50

the middle of lice and and

1:26:53

diarrhea and rashes. Listen,

1:26:55

I didn't even know about the lice yet.

1:26:58

Oh my God. Well

1:27:01

I hope that I don't

1:27:04

know. I hope I hope that

1:27:07

it gets all straightened out. I hope that

1:27:09

lady figures out what everyone meant and I'm

1:27:12

sure she'll clear it up

1:27:14

to all her followers. Maybe she deleted it. I

1:27:16

don't fucking know. I don't even like I don't even know

1:27:18

who the lady is. I just like saw it. I saw the

1:27:20

saying I saw the real and I was like I'm out.

1:27:23

I'm not interested in this

1:27:25

yet. Oh my God. I'm

1:27:28

not interested in participating in

1:27:30

this particular world of

1:27:32

social media. I

1:27:34

gotta go. Not with that. He needs

1:27:36

to be dogs. Sundays for dogs. Sundays for dogs. Sundays

1:27:39

for dogs. That's a good one. We

1:27:42

did not get any gifts for the dogs this

1:27:44

year. I guess we did. Oh, the

1:27:46

girls. We did. We did.

1:27:48

We did. We did. We

1:27:50

did. We did. We

1:27:53

did. We did. We did. We

1:27:56

did. We forgot but

1:27:58

here's the good news. They

1:28:00

had no idea because I just went

1:28:02

into the Sundays and gave them some Sundays out

1:28:04

of my hand and they were like Merry

1:28:07

1:28:09

they were on their way They tipped their little

1:28:11

1:28:16

1:28:18

a fistful of Sundays Listen,

1:28:20

Gina, Lenati loves her Sunday. She travels

1:28:22

with it when she goes to her

1:28:25

little camp that she goes through She's

1:28:27

a camp while I'm

1:28:29

traveling she's camping and she

1:28:31

loves her Sundays And we

1:28:33

love the Sundays because it's

1:28:35

healthy dog food That's actually easy

1:28:38

to store and serve and easy to

1:28:40

send with her to camp Yeah, you

1:28:42

know, so it makes me feel

1:28:44

good knowing that Gina's eating Sundays when she's not

1:28:46

with me Sunday has air-dried

1:28:48

dog food made from a very short

1:28:51

list of human-grade ingredients. It was co-founded

1:28:53

by a Practicing veterinarian

1:28:56

named Dr. Tori and contains 90%

1:28:58

meat 10% vegetables 0% synthetic nutrients

1:29:00

and Listen

1:29:06

dog parents report noticeable health

1:29:08

improvements in their dogs including

1:29:10

softer for fresher breasts better

1:29:12

poops more energy But I

1:29:14

report just a dog that likes eating her food

1:29:18

That's all I care about that's what we need.

1:29:20

That's what we need. Um, I Love

1:29:24

Sundays. I love that

1:29:26

it's shelf stable Which

1:29:30

makes it easy to feed

1:29:32

my dog and also like

1:29:34

zero prep I don't have to remember to defrost

1:29:37

anything. I don't have to worry about

1:29:40

Like having it on hand. I know I

1:29:42

have it on hand there Yeah,

1:29:44

it also ships right to my door So

1:29:47

I never worry about running out of it and

1:29:50

it costs 40% less than other

1:29:52

healthy dog food brands because Sundays

1:29:55

doesn't waste money shipping frozen

1:29:57

packages. Instead they spend on

1:31:17

stomach situation that I've had that I

1:31:21

A-G-1 really has been coming in clutch.

1:31:23

Yeah. In the traveling.

1:31:25

Yeah. Because I feel like it's put me back on

1:31:28

track. Well, you obviously

1:31:30

need to replenish everything that you

1:31:32

lost. I know. So, that's

1:31:34

what happens. Yeah. You got the

1:31:36

right station to wait. Yeah. I

1:31:39

love it. It's

1:31:41

just one thing that you can do for

1:31:44

yourself all the time, like every

1:31:46

day. And it's packed

1:31:48

with everything that you need. A-G-1

1:31:51

is a foundational nutritional supplement that

1:31:54

supports your body's universal needs,

1:31:56

like gut optimization, stress management, and

1:32:00

Yoon support And then Twenty

1:32:04

lad the future of foundational

nutrition, continuously refining their formula

1:32:08

to create a smarter, better

1:32:11

way to elevate your baseline

1:32:13

health. All of it is as

1:32:15

easy as I wasn't easy. I wouldn't be

1:32:17

able to keep up with that. I would

1:32:19

start off with the best intentions. It's

1:32:22

so easy that there is literally no reason

1:32:24

not to do it every day. It takes

1:32:26

one second. Eighteen it

1:32:28

is. So easy. Yeah

1:32:30

and I like remember going to have her

1:32:33

son. He gave me like four thousand different

1:32:35

bottles of name's some of which had to

1:32:37

be refrigerated, some of which didn't blah blah

1:32:39

blah blah blah And like us to difficult

1:32:42

like I couldn't pick fourteen different. Pills.

1:32:45

Every day of like got and then you

1:32:47

wonder I'm am I getting this from the

1:32:49

best brand? I'm adding that from the best

1:32:51

source made the process law and then I'm

1:32:54

just like paralyze the match you anxious one

1:32:56

that I didn't do as exactly and I

1:32:58

any New Years resolutions? You have

1:33:52

any. To have any

1:33:54

things that you. Like to have a goon I

1:33:56

know, not a new year's resolution and. You

1:33:59

know, Eddie Clay? my New Year's resolution of

1:34:01

drinking green tea. That was the only I figured

1:34:03

I would choose. Does it taste like dirt? Uh,

1:34:07

apparently I can't, I

1:34:09

can't handle it. I can't taste like

1:34:11

dirt. But also like the tannins make

1:34:14

me vomit and I thought that green

1:34:16

tea was tannin free. No,

1:34:18

it's disgusting. This is why I can't

1:34:20

have nice things. I can't be healthy because of tannins.

1:34:23

I wouldn't say green tea is a nice thing. I

1:34:25

like green tea occasionally because I like sometimes drink something

1:34:27

that tastes like dirt. But I don't

1:34:29

know. I bought all this green tea. It's just sitting there

1:34:32

like fucking mocking me. I have to pick a

1:34:34

new resolution thing

1:34:36

to do. Yeah, like a new thing to do. Oh,

1:34:39

here's what I am doing. And maybe it's what I'm

1:34:41

doing my best at this week is

1:34:43

that I wasn't going to do this

1:34:45

at all because I was like, why? Sure. And

1:34:48

I'll talk about things that I've bought that have mocked

1:34:51

me in the past. But my

1:34:53

friends, Kristen and Ashley on the group

1:34:55

chat were talking about their planners, their

1:34:57

2024 planners and how excited they were.

1:34:59

And I just wanted

1:35:01

to be in on it. Yeah. So like

1:35:03

I went and ordered a planner and I

1:35:05

also asked in this shopping

1:35:07

group that on Facebook that I love called

1:35:10

G Thanks. I just bought it. It's also

1:35:12

a podcast. The host is Caroline Moss

1:35:14

and she's very nice. I asked

1:35:16

like what planners people buy and what they

1:35:18

like and stuff. And then I did a

1:35:21

sub post about how I got this planner

1:35:23

because like maybe I could plan some shit.

1:35:26

Maybe the reason I was

1:35:28

trepidatious. Is that a word about it?

1:35:30

Um, it's because I have fully bought

1:35:32

like the most expensive

1:35:34

planner in the past that everybody was

1:35:36

talking about saying how great it was and

1:35:39

then like thrown it away. Yeah. Later, completely blank. 100%.

1:35:41

I just had to, but

1:35:43

I'm not going to do that this year because

1:35:45

on the sub stack, I asked who wants to

1:35:47

have a zoom where we show and tell our

1:35:49

planners that we bought and we talk about what

1:35:51

we're going to use them for. And

1:35:53

then we'll like check in with each other

1:35:55

and like keep each other honest. As long as I get

1:35:57

to the end of 2024 with some. of

1:36:00

the pages written on in that planner, I'll

1:36:02

feel happy. I think it's great. I

1:36:04

mean, we'll see how it

1:36:06

goes, but so far, I think that's great.

1:36:09

People seem excited about it. That's

1:36:11

great. I

1:36:14

have a big business idea, so I

1:36:16

already know that that's going to get written in there. I

1:36:19

can't tell you what it is yet, because he knows

1:36:21

what it is. But maybe I

1:36:23

really want to try

1:36:25

to do something with it this year.

1:36:27

Wait, what? Sorry. Oh,

1:36:29

motherfucker. Are you okay? Yeah,

1:36:31

I'm okay. Okay. Kate's

1:36:36

husband texts me

1:36:38

and Christine sometimes, and he just

1:36:41

texted me. He

1:36:45

just texted me a picture of Kate and

1:36:47

her son from New Year's Eve last

1:36:49

year. That's

1:36:54

hard. Where she just looks like

1:36:57

beautiful and healthy

1:36:59

and perfect and alive

1:37:01

and really alive. That's hard. What

1:37:11

a fucking year. By

1:37:13

the way, I had two friends who

1:37:16

married men named Larry. What are the champs

1:37:18

of? I mean,

1:37:20

I guess pretty good. What? Larry?

1:37:23

Do you know any fucking Larrys our

1:37:25

age? Yeah, my first boyfriend's

1:37:27

name was Larry. I only

1:37:32

know two Larrys, the one that Kate married and the

1:37:34

one that Lisa married. I don't

1:37:37

know. Larry Preville, wherever

1:37:39

you are, he was a child model

1:37:41

and he was my first boyfriend. That's

1:37:43

hilarious. Wait, have you guys heard about

1:37:45

this thing,

1:37:47

like the unrequited

1:37:50

project or the missed something project

1:37:52

where people are writing notes

1:37:55

to their first loves and posting them

1:37:58

and then you can search your name and see.

1:38:01

Oh my gosh. If anyone is, yeah what

1:38:03

the fuck is it called? It's called the

1:38:05

something project. I just was mad because there

1:38:07

was none for busy. I mean it makes

1:38:14

sense guys.

1:38:18

You have to input a letter to

1:38:20

your first love because you know that's

1:38:22

like the more people that fuck now the more

1:38:24

people that use it the better chance there

1:38:27

will be. No I

1:38:29

can't remember what it's called. Whatever. Doesn't

1:38:31

matter. Doesn't matter. Anyway

1:38:34

I deleted X off my phone you

1:38:36

know. Oh that's good. Um I did

1:38:39

it when we were talking to Roxanne Gay.

1:38:42

Yeah I've regretted it all since but I

1:38:44

regret it since but just because then

1:38:46

I don't have anything to like mindlessly look

1:38:48

at. Yeah. So then I've been looking

1:38:50

at threads which is like truly a

1:38:53

wild algorithm for me because I like

1:38:55

don't follow that many people and it's

1:38:57

so weird. Yeah. Like today a thing

1:38:59

popped up there was just like a

1:39:01

guy skydiving his parachutes. Oh

1:39:05

god. So I know

1:39:07

I'm telling you the weirdest I get

1:39:09

the weirdest so that's where I heard

1:39:11

about this whatever thing. Yeah I can't

1:39:13

remember what it's called but anyway whatever

1:39:17

anyway that's my story. Okay

1:39:19

sorry so you're

1:39:22

doing sorry you're

1:39:24

doing your best at a thing

1:39:27

a planner and you're gonna

1:39:29

write I'm gonna do the planner I'm

1:39:31

gonna write in my planner I have

1:39:34

a business idea that I'm kind of

1:39:36

serious about. Oh okay good. I'm

1:39:38

gonna look

1:39:41

into you okay good and then you know

1:39:43

great yeah I like the thought. I

1:39:46

talked to our friend Katie Doreno

1:39:48

about it. Great. I mean not

1:39:50

that you know just to

1:39:52

like get advice you know yeah I think

1:39:54

it's an interesting idea I don't think it's

1:39:56

like a billion dollar idea I think it's

1:39:58

kind of niche but $100,000

1:40:00

ideas. $100,000 ideas. Great

1:40:04

by me. I

1:40:07

take it. That's great. What

1:40:11

am I doing my best at this week? I

1:40:15

mean, definitely picking lice. I

1:40:18

fucking nailed that shit, guys. I did so

1:40:20

good at the lice. Oh

1:40:23

my gosh. I got them all out. Yeah.

1:40:26

It was disgusting. Disgusting

1:40:28

but satisfying. That's

1:40:31

all you can hope for. Yeah.

1:40:35

And I'm

1:40:37

kind of trying to do my best at...

1:40:42

Yeah, like not... I am trying

1:40:45

to do my best at not putting so

1:40:48

much on the future. Yeah.

1:40:52

Because it's just like, you

1:40:54

know, the shit show of the present is just

1:40:56

where I'm at. And so I

1:40:58

just have to move through it, like,

1:41:01

boils and all. Literally. I

1:41:05

have no choice. So I just have to

1:41:08

treat the fucking lesions on

1:41:10

my body in the moment

1:41:13

and like, you know, hope

1:41:15

for the best. But

1:41:18

I can't think about if it's all going to scar

1:41:20

or what it's going to look like next week or

1:41:22

whatever. I just have to like be

1:41:27

in this moment right now, go to sleep when I need

1:41:29

to go to sleep, rest when I need to rest. So

1:41:32

I'm doing my best at that,

1:41:34

accepting that, you know. I

1:41:36

can't. I can't. I

1:41:38

actually do think I'm like having

1:41:42

that thing

1:41:45

where I am

1:41:47

actually like truly starting

1:41:49

to like accept the present tense.

1:41:52

And like

1:41:56

the last four

1:41:58

years have been a real... mindfuck

1:42:01

for everybody obviously and like

1:42:04

I can't I

1:42:07

kind of can't wrap my head around it really and I

1:42:11

think maybe I'm like not supposed to

1:42:13

I don't know if any of us are supposed to it feels

1:42:15

like it feels

1:42:18

like a glitch you know it feels like we've

1:42:21

glitched and so okay so

1:42:23

we've glitched but we're here now this

1:42:25

is where it's at you know so like how

1:42:28

can I just continue to move

1:42:30

forward with as

1:42:34

much like

1:42:38

of myself intact as possible and

1:42:40

and be

1:42:43

able to just exist in this space

1:42:45

right now like and feel okay

1:42:47

about it you know like because

1:42:50

I can't wake

1:42:53

up crying for all

1:42:56

the time but it's just not it's

1:42:59

not healthy for me

1:43:03

so you know I'm

1:43:05

like hopeful that I can

1:43:09

continue to sort of yeah

1:43:12

I feel like I've been doing my best at

1:43:14

trying to just

1:43:17

take everything in the moment that

1:43:19

I'm in and not be too

1:43:21

forward-thinking and not be too

1:43:25

rooted in the what

1:43:27

ifs and the past you know yeah

1:43:30

so that's all I

1:43:32

think that's good I think that's good and

1:43:34

I think that you know I think

1:43:38

mourning something

1:43:40

or someone is important

1:43:44

obviously like we've talked so much about

1:43:46

it this year but also I think

1:43:48

about the people that we're

1:43:50

talking about and what they would want for us

1:43:52

what they'd want for us to do yeah

1:43:55

I did yeah I think you know yes

1:43:57

yeah I feel

1:43:59

like I I can just picture someone

1:44:01

saying like, I'm so flattered.

1:44:04

And I thank you so much for spending

1:44:06

so much time like thinking about me, but

1:44:09

okay. You know, I

1:44:12

just picture my mom being like, it's

1:44:14

okay. You

1:44:16

know? And I'm like,

1:44:18

okay. Well, I mean, Kate is like

1:44:21

way more bossy. Like, I

1:44:23

feel like she's like, what the fuck?

1:44:27

I can go live life, are you kidding? Like

1:44:29

enjoy the shit. Yeah. Like,

1:44:33

so yeah.

1:44:35

I hear her voice, you know, like a lot,

1:44:38

you know? Yeah.

1:44:47

But Jesus, ending the

1:44:49

year with the fucking, I

1:44:53

mean, it'd be almost

1:44:55

funny if it wasn't not funny at all. I

1:44:59

mean, I was trying so hard

1:45:01

to like, I

1:45:05

kept saying to myself yesterday when I was like

1:45:07

in the throes of like my brain breaking over

1:45:09

the life and like my skin hurting and like

1:45:12

looking at this like disgusting, or I'm

1:45:14

like, am I contained? Like, what did

1:45:16

I, did I, like, what is, you

1:45:18
