Obsession is in session.
And this summer, Prime originals have everything you want.
Steamy romances, irresistible love stories,

Off campus, L, every year after, the love hypothesis,

Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen.
Your next obsession is waiting.
Watch only on Prime.
Winter is so last season.
And now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes.
Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs.
You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders.
That perfect hang on the patio sundress.
Those sandals you can wear all day and all night.
And you've had enough of shopping from your couch.
Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope.
It's time for a little in-person spring treat.
It's time for a trip to Ross.
Work your magic.
Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan.

No ID, prescription, or age requirement.
It's the number one OBGYN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility.
That's Freedom to Be.
Use us directed.
question for you
mud blood
is Edward doesn't
have any blood
he's more so just
like made of stone
so how would he get
Bella pregnant
if he doesn't have
any blood flow
if he kind of
picking up what I'm putting down
he's just like
hard all the time
he really doesn't have blood
huh?
No not at all
because when they crack open
the vampires
the only way to kill a vampire
James basically
is to rip their heads off
and then burn them alive and just rip them apart.
And when you're ripping them apart, it's like stone.
The wooden steak.
I'm talking about the Twilight universe.
Have you like Googled this?
Yeah, I have, but I'm curious about what you think.
Are we talking boners?
Basically like boners and then like what's like, how does he like have sperm?
If there's like no blood or like fluid.
See, this is why I have it so hard.
I'm going to cry.
Why?
Okay.
I'm just going through something I think over here talking about Bonners.
TMG Studios.
Yes.
What's up Cody Co?
That's Connor.
Oh, shoot.
Wait, this isn't...
Oh, I thought this was Cody's pod.
What's your go-to shower songs since you have such a good, beautiful voice?
I don't listen to music in the shower.
I just, like, talk to myself.
About what?
Um
Just like any day
Whatever's going on that day
You know it's like okay
It's usually I kind of list off my grocery list
Because I don't write it down
Over and over again in the shower
I go off memory
To me like if I heard that
And I was your neighbor
I would call the cops immediately
Because there would be like a seance happening
You can hear through my walls
Eggs
Napkins
Milk
Eggs
Napkins
Milk and the shower is running
It's either that
It sounds evil
Yeah it's either that
and beatboxing.
No, you can hear it through my walls
because I can hear their TV.
Right.
So I do think about it sometimes
because I do go hard some days?
And I'm wondering,
do your neighbors care
that you're constantly like playing ball,
you know?
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For those that don't know,
I do have a mini basketball hoot in my apartment.
He's balling.
We're half an hour behind schedule
recording today because James got lost
in the parking lot.
I'm directionally challenged.
Right.
For starters.
Literally, okay, so like,
freshman and sophomore year,
of high school, even through junior year, I never drove to high school because I have older siblings
that would drive me. Do you have a license? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a license. My senior year was
like my shining moment. I'm like, I finally got to drive to school because my siblings had graduated.
I had a younger brother that I would drive. It's like a 10-minute drive, maybe just a few turns.
I almost wasn't able to get to the high school. Like I'm not joking. After three years of driving
there every day, in my senior year, I was nervous that I wasn't able to figure, like, fine,
way. I'm still the same way in my hometown. My parents are like, okay, we're off of 105 and I'm like,
I don't know what that is. And they're like, Connor, you've lived here for 17 years. You don't
know what the main highway that goes through our town? I'm like, no, I couldn't tell you. Yeah, no,
I'm not good at that stuff. Street names. It's because there's someone else's driving. It's
kind of like not my, not my prerogative to learn the streets. Why would I do that?
Two things I've learned about James today, directionally challenged and very tiny ear canals.
Yeah.
The earphones are still popping out a little bit.
You want to give those another shove back into those?
Yeah, I'll just be adjusting.
Oh, man.
Every time I shove it back in, it's just a whole new experience.
I can just hear you so much more clearly.
Yeah.
Oh, God, I bet.
It's important to stretch yourself out before you come.
No, you know, I got weird ears.
They're kind of like pointy.
Do you see that little point?
They're kind of like...
You've got a great pair of ears, James.
Pretty standard ear.
I was...
It's so weird how today is our...
already turning into something that is related to all of my experiences right now because we were
one talking about your basketball shots too I was going to say I run like a couple times a week right
my my airpons aren't saying in my left ear anymore which means I'm stretched out and loose on the left
side probably from podcasting so much that's crazy and that really is just like like that shouldn't
happen that's not something that should no do you think it's not do you think it's maybe the air pod
melting or shifting in any way or it's totally my body and it's just like a testament to
the human body
and what it's
that it's constantly
shifting and evolving
at the end of the day
the AirPods are made
to fit your body
your body's not made
to fit the pod
Brooke I know
good one hook
oh my god
I could goosies
I could cry
anyway should we intro James
before we get
you know 20
read my mind
we've got Caucasian James
here today
first name Caucasian
last name James
he's a Twitter god
got a few billion
followers on that platform
few billion
approaching
five billion. Wow, that's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. That's an amazing feat. Twitter's not easy at the end
No, not anymore at least. It used to be easier. I don't know. I don't, I think you're underselling
yourself. It used to be a lot easier to like grow on that platform. Really? Now it's impossible. Yeah,
I've been stagnant for like a year now. Yeah, you can't really grow on there. I wouldn't say it's
impossible. Brooke and I are crawling up towards you. That's true. It's true. I'm just kidding. No,
I think maybe you just have so many followers that it's like how many are left to possibly
gain. Right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I've been called the Charlie Di Emilio of Twitter. Yeah,
you are. Which I think is a fair comparison, you know, we're both dancers. Yeah.
You, the thing about you, James, besides your tiny earholes and your lack of directionary
abilities, you can move. Yeah, you certainly don't lack direction in your dance. Yeah. Right.
In the motion of the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. No, I appreciate that. Yeah, I think, yeah, like I said,
both dancers, both have sisters.
Yeah.
There's a lot of commonalities.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I totally.
I could not have said that better myself.
Yeah.
And obviously, like, your Twitter,
but you're totally comfortable, I feel like,
on other platforms, on other mediums.
I feel like words are tougher,
and it's more of a, more tougher.
That's a word.
More tougher.
And it's a testament to, like,
your brain?
wealth of knowledge.
Like, I mean, yeah, like, words are tough.
They're hard.
They're hard.
So, like, you type it out.
You can be fun.
You can jump off the roof and do, like, a backflip off of a trampoline and get famous.
But, like, to write something out and tweet it and be funny and people would be like, and be consistently funny for years.
No, I think that's why all the Twitter comedians are being cast in things now.
You're right.
They're the smartest of the social media.
Took me.
By the way, 20 seconds to say.
One.
Words are good.
Yeah.
Words are good.
No, it's cool that there's still like a platform where like words matter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Words, your words matter.
Because as we know, Instagram is becoming just video as we found out yesterday.
Oh my God.
Totally.
That's so funny.
You're good at podcasts.
You are because we were going to talk about that anyway and the way that you segwayed that.
Your words.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are so powerful.
I hope you know that.
What'd you go to school for?
You know, initially broadcasting.
You're kidding.
Yeah, yeah, no.
So my initial dream as a kid was playing the NBA.
And you're just kind of doing that.
In a way.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Basketball is a huge part of my next.
Yeah, it really is.
And you're sharing that with the world via Instagram stories.
Right.
Video.
Right.
Bringing it back to Instagram becoming video.
I wouldn't say I'm showing my skills too well because I've missed 22 shots in a row.
But we don't have to-day 23 today?
Day 23 today.
Day 23 of trying to make that shot.
Yeah, so.
I think you got it today.
No, so I wanted to play in the NBA growing up.
I was raised on basketball.
You know, my dad played in college.
My uncle was a coach.
Wow.
Ball was life.
Like, ball was life for me.
Like, actually, through high school.
I've always kind of said that, yeah.
Oof, there's my, there's my form right there.
Wow.
That is an incredible form.
And, well, people will give me crap for, you know, my left hand there kind of.
You're just reaching in the cookie jar.
But if you look at Larry Bird's shot and you freeze frame it in the same position,
we have the exact same release.
You know, you're right.
Now that you mentioned that, you're right.
I'm not even joking.
You can Google it.
I'm not joking either.
I have Googled Larry Birdshot.
Yeah.
No, we have the same release.
Pretty similar style.
You know, I have like a 19 inch vertical.
Okay, well, hmm.
Well, see.
I thought that was you for a second.
I'm without my glasses.
His hand is straight up there, but there is, I swear to God,
I have it saved in my phone where it is off to the left.
Right.
You know, we have to worry about that.
Yeah, well, I mean, we have no choice,
but to believe you because we do need to move on.
But I wanted to ask something specifically that I'm, now I'm forgetting.
I feel like you were very curious about James' origin story.
No, no, I wanted to ask, well, I wanted to ask because I'm going to forget.
Okay.
No, no.
It seems like you already did forget.
I did.
Yeah.
So we can come back to it.
So we're going to move on.
Yeah.
I feel like coming from Twitter, I feel like you're like one of the OG, I don't even
want to say influencers, but you were like an OG internet person.
Comedian.
Comedian.
Yeah, yeah.
But I remember when we first all hung out last, it's a year and change now.
No, it's been like a year and a half.
Year and a half, yeah, yeah.
You're just like a face that everybody knows, and I feel like your name is a name that everybody knows, Caucasian James.
Well, I was going to ask, do you think everyone knows your face?
Because I think on Twitter, it's the only place you can get away with, like, people knowing your name and not your face.
Right.
I mean, I post my face a decent amount.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Not nearly as much as I used to. I used to post my face, like, every day.
Right.
But no, I still for sure, well, like, if I tweeted my face today, I would still get, like, replies being like, like, that's what you look like.
Right.
No way.
It's crazy.
Man, like, I've been doing this for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Doing this for, like, five years now, you know, and then people still are figuring out what I look like, yeah.
Yeah.
That must be such a pleasant little gift to see that sweet little face with those tiny little ear holes.
Right.
Right.
No, people get excited when they see my complexion for fun.
Yeah.
I bet.
Do you get?
We talk about this like every episode, I feel like,
but do you get like canceled at all on Twitter?
The only time I ever got canceled,
well, I wasn't even canceled.
I tweeted about how much I love, like a nice,
I tweeted photos of like really nicely cut lawns.
And I was like, lawn appreciation tweet.
Like, look how nice these lawns are.
And then a lot of people got upset because lawns.
Not everyone has a lawn.
No, no, no.
Lons aren't good for like, the world.
You know, they're like, where are the bushes in the,
the plants and like that's bad and all the pesticides and the lawns and people got really upset and but that was yeah I think the closest grass appreciation tweet I've actually gotten hard canceled on Twitter twice really yeah for what both of them were Nickelodeon related tweets the first one was I Carly related and I said uh what did I say you said I if I was if I was Sam I would body slam Carly
into another dimension for naming the show Icarly.
Because like that would be, that would suck.
Yeah, you know, as her co-host.
And then the Icarly community is vicious by nature.
Came for my throat being like, well,
if you had actually watched episode one.
And fast forward, it's minute seven.
You would see that Sam gave her permission, blah, blah, okay, fine.
And it was actually Freddie.
Okay, fine, then I'll body slam Freddy.
Whatever.
You get the point.
It canceled for that.
And then I tweeted also that I think Pete Davidson has a set of fairly odd parents.
I remember seeing that tweet.
And then people were like...
And he actually has no set of that parents.
And people were like, how dare you?
His dad died at 9-11.
But I was talking about Cosmo and Wanda.
Right.
The fairy.
They didn't even know the show.
Right.
Yeah.
So I had to make an apology.
But Twitter's ruthless.
I wanted to ask about your cancellations because I was going to do a little segment here,
you know, Twitter God.
I wanted to do celebrities read mean tweets.
Oh, God.
But I couldn't find any mean tweets about you.
But I did find...
The following accounts.
Arkansas.
Caucasians against Caucasian James.
Caucasian James against Caucasian James.
Ohio against Caucasian James.
Canadians against Caucasian James.
Nursing majors against Caucasian James.
Right.
Yeah.
Are they truly again?
These are all separate accounts.
Oh yeah. Here they are.
It's a lot.
Yeah.
What is?
Say, no to James.
What do you have any?
So, yeah, this was 2019.
the first page that was made
was nursing students
against Caucasian James
I had quite the amount of beef
against nursing students
so I went to Winona State University
probably haven't heard of it
State School in Minnesota
Winona Ryder, right?
Yeah, I think she's,
I don't know if she's named after the town or not.
Founder of the school.
But yeah, so it's a nursing school
and I got to a little tired of
nursing students like to complain
about how hard their lives are.
Yeah.
And, you know, me as a broadcast major.
Right.
My life was tough.
It was hard.
You know, I had to hop on the radio and press a few buttons.
Probably to get up on early too, huh?
Yeah.
I was like, I'm on a sports talk show.
Like, I mean, I was booked really tough lifestyle.
So I was tired of, you know, hearing them being the only ones complaining for their life.
And I made a few tweets about it.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
I made a few tweets about it and they were not happy.
There was some backlash.
Yeah.
I even had a nurse reply to me.
And she said, um,
I hope you end up in my hospital so I can take your fucking...
No, that's what she said.
She says, you better hope I'm never your nurse because I'm not going to take care of you.
And I was like, that's a fireable offense.
Oops, I mixed up my things that I'm going to...
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, James.
But weren't you once verified and then you had that taken away from you?
Yeah.
So I was verified for six hours.
Maybe it was eight.
Wow.
One of the darker days of my life.
I finally got verified.
That's so funny.
I was really pumped up about it, tweeted about it.
Yeah.
And then like six hours later, it was gone.
Gone.
And I was like, oh, it's just like a glitch or something.
It was fresh.
And I have one contact at Twitter.
I reached out to her.
I'm like, what's, uh, I'm blanking on her name.
You should talk to Farrah.
I don't talk to her much.
Yeah.
No, she's not my contact, though.
It's some other woman.
We got to get you to talk to Farah.
She'll get that back from you like that.
Yeah, I reached out.
And she's like, oh, that's weird.
I don't know what's going on.
And I was like, can you find out?
and she ended up finding out why,
but she said she didn't have the jurisdiction to tell me.
And I was like, what are you talking about?
Like, you can't tell me why.
I never found out why.
To this day, why I lost my verification.
That sucks.
Wow, one of life's great mysteries.
Right.
Well, I think a bigger mystery for a lot of people
if they come across your account with a million and a half followers
or like, why is he not verified?
Right.
It's weird.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't know.
There's some other, there's a other few, like, big accounts that aren't like,
drill.
Drill is not verified.
Drill, yeah, drill's big.
I was thinking yesterday I was going to lose my
Instagram blue check.
Sometimes you just have to, like, risk it for the biscuit.
Do you remember when Corny lost her blue check?
That was the funniest thing.
That was the funniest shit I've ever seen.
What was that for?
She changed her name to, I think it was like a senator.
It was a senator.
And she was verified.
So it was like senator's name, blue check.
And then was, like, posting as this senator.
And then it got her check.
She changed her profile picture to the senator's name
and the name to the senator's name.
I was remembered who it was.
But her at was corny, whatever.
But she got it back.
No.
She never got it back?
I don't know.
She might have, but she was on thin ice.
Right.
Yeah.
That's tough.
But we were talking about yesterday, I made that thing about the whole Instagram thing
with switching to video and the guy had to release the statement.
Oh, yeah.
Tell us about that.
Siri.
Well, if you're not familiar, I'm sure everybody's already familiar, but I'm not that familiar.
Basically, Instagram's been doing this thing recently.
and I think that the origin is in,
yeah,
Adam is Harry,
the origin is in its Facebook roots
and its meta roots
where Facebook just like
has this kink of like,
I need to just self-sabotage
and self-sabotage to destroy it
and make it like your parents' favorite app
which Instagram is now becoming.
Like my dad's sitting at a restaurant
and has to show me his phone like you need to check this out.
And it's these like,
um,
South American fishermen throwing a net off a boat.
and they pull it up and it's like a bra and he's like how insane is that and i'm like what
yeah like and so now that's on instagram my dad's like real my mom is real's queen yeah so
you can you can watch this evolution of an app like starting to die and i feel like it's happening
so Kylie jinner well this girl that lives here illuminati the photographer that shoots like all the
ticotkers now made a post that was like make instagram instagram again i just want to see pictures of my
friends and her caption was like share this post like let's make it heard and it got shared like
several million times wrote about in the new york post kiley shared it Kylie shared it
the jenner shared it and that sparked the CEO of instagram right to yeah Kylie jinner to make a
PSA about it saying like we know right but he's literally saying i'm acknowledging it's bad
but we're not changing it this is the future and it is the future but if you've got people like
Kylie Jenner, who last time she spoke up about a social media app, it was Snapchat, and she said,
who even uses Snapchat anymore, briefly, they lost $1.3 billion in revenue in 24 hours. So it's like
enough obvious influence to pull the CEO in to make a PSA. That was a really funny PSA, just him
being like, we know it's bad. He's like, listen, listen. It has to be bad. It's just shocking. Like,
if you break it down, it's like all of these things, we hear you. Yeah.
We will not be doing anything.
But we're not going to change it.
Yeah, really powerful stuff.
It's just being like, we are smarter than you,
and you're going to continue to use the app regardless,
so we don't really need to listen to you.
At the end of the day, it's just, if I were to break this down,
it would be money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money,
money, money, money, money, money.
Creators.
Money, money, money, yeah, totally.
It's just like dollar signs.
Yeah.
And then he.
Oh, yeah.
So then I post this thing.
And my buddy, my buddy Dan, who's so smart, he works at Morning Brew.
He's so good at this.
He writes all the stuff and it's just like brilliant.
Every now and then I go into like the really easy stuff to make fun of tech companies.
It's just easy.
I did it.
And he DMs me 20 minutes after I post.
Like I wrote this exact same bit.
Do you care if I post it?
And I was like, I do not care at all.
Like this is your space.
He posts it.
And he posted on reels.
I didn't want to post it on reels because I'm scared of getting like a red dot on my
chest from within my home.
Right.
And,
Musiri reposted on his story and said,
touche, and the guy's post is doing
so well now, and mine's just... He reposted
the guy. He's just... Yeah, on his story.
And also, moments after
that I was talking to James, Musiri responds
to his story with the
perfect emoji. Yesterday. Wait, what, what story
was it? Do you know? Was it your shot?
It was of my shot that I... Does he follow you?
He's followed me for years.
Whoa. Who were, like, some crazy people
that follow you?
Hmm, I don't even know
I don't have any like A-List.
I feel like you do, I feel like you do have some like
Oh geez.
I don't have any like A-List celebs.
I'm still waiting for like an A-List celebbe to follow me.
I don't believe you.
No, I really don't.
I can't.
Seth Rogen.
That's an A-List celebrity.
Oh, yeah.
No, A-List's celebs.
I mean, Seth Rogen, I guess.
And you've communicated with Seth.
I would need to be airlifted to a hospital.
Seth ever responded to one of my tweets.
And he sent you a vase, right?
Or pottery?
No, no, no, no.
We've never even interacted.
I've just replied to his tweets.
I think it was a pity follow.
It was what it was.
He's interacted with you.
No.
Sure.
No.
I've met Jonah Hill.
Oh.
Walk me through that.
Sure, yeah.
No, it's actually a pretty funny story.
So I have this buddy named Mikey Alfred.
I don't know if you guys have heard of illegal sieve.
It's a skateboard crew.
That's been around for like.
It's a scapework crew that's been around for like 10 plus years
They were associated with like odd future and like Frank Ocean
Mikey started the crew
Yeah you're friends with what's his face domogenesis right
Like OG?
Yeah domo genesis
Domo
But yeah let me speed through this
So Mikey made mid-90s with Jonah
You can remember mid-90s the skateboard movie
Came out like four years ago
You would actually like it movie
I bet
He made mid-90s with Jonah
Because I hated it
Oh then I probably would like it
Yeah
And one night, Mikey was like, hey, want to get dinner.
I was like, for sure, let's get dinner.
It was in this, like, hole in the wall restaurant.
I couldn't even find it.
Like, I couldn't find the studio today.
Right.
I finally, like, make my way in, and I see Mikey and across the table was Jonah Hill.
Yeah.
Wow.
And I was like, thanks for telling me.
Airlifted.
I would need to be airlifted to the facility immediately.
I was like, thanks for telling me Jonah Hill.
Because at one point, Jonah went to the bathroom and I was like, thanks for telling me.
Right.
He just laughed.
But, no, it was great.
Jonah's like the nicest, coolest, most down-der-
I had dinner with him.
He was sitting at the table.
Oh, at the same table?
Yeah.
Oh my God, that's great.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, it's probably like my craziest LA story.
But no, yeah, he was like the nicest guy, most down-to-earth guy.
I bet.
He talked about surfing for like the most part.
He loved surfing.
He loves surfing.
And he talked about how like healing it is and amazing it is.
I just sat there smiling like, yeah.
I bet it is great, Jonah Hill.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's really, really cool.
I don't think, yeah, I don't know how.
I don't like dinners with people of that stature.
And it's like, okay, eventually I'm going to have to be the person.
You know me at a dinner table.
I'll never be in that position.
Me at a dinner table.
I got to take the reins of the whole table.
I know.
You're putting me in the middle of this table.
I'm like, all right, I got to check my notes.
I'm on a podcast right now.
Right.
I think I would go mute.
I don't think you would.
I was fair.
You might black out, but I don't think you would go mute.
Or just like spewing like the scariest.
things in the world. Yeah.
I was pretty quiet. There's no one between me. I think that's
I'm sure you were great. But it was crazy to see how people
like act around an A-less celebrity. Because I would at some points like look around
the restaurant and everyone was just glued to him. And I did ask. I'm like,
is this weird? Like he's like you just accept it and get used to it. I'm like, I don't
know if I could. Humble King.
Crazy. So the basketball shot thing is already like circle back.
You share, I want to tell a story really quick. You share walls.
with your neighbors.
Yeah.
They say certainly here the...
The bricks.
Yeah.
It's only one shot a day, or are you practicing for that one shot?
Well, I don't practice for that shot specifically, but I'll just shoot around for fun.
Uh-huh.
Which at some point, I think, can get annoying, not just for, like, my next-door neighbors,
but the people below me because the ball's bouncing constantly.
My neighbor, my downstairs neighbor says my steps are too loud.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just from, like, my walking.
I'm just like, I don't know how to help you at all.
Sorry, continue.
Too loud of steps.
Yeah.
Also, like, I'm in my bed, like, 24-7, so I don't even know what she's hearing.
Right.
A ghoul.
Maybe it's a rat.
Yeah.
Hopefully, roommate.
You've heard rats?
I'm going to really quick just tell the story that it was.
Well, James was just telling his story.
Well, he just moved on to rats.
Yeah, we don't have to go on rats.
Yeah, we don't have to go on rats.
Were you done?
What story?
You were talking about your, your basketball.
We don't, yeah.
You're dying.
It's...
Next thing.
Sorry.
I don't like thinking about it.
Okay.
I have to do the shot after and I'm really stressed out about it.
Okay.
Oh, don't stress out.
Moving on.
This shouldn't be...
This should be a place to unwind.
Yeah.
Really?
Kind of let go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, my mind is really clear right now.
That's good.
It's the most clear-headed up there.
For some reason, I'm not very clear-headed right now.
I was just thinking about, like, where the fuck is my passport?
And I'm just kind of freaking me out.
Do you need it today?
No, I don't need it at all.
I have no reason to need it,
just like started thinking about it when you were talking about basketball for some reason.
Oh, what I was going to say is I don't share a wall like with anybody, but I have a building like next door to me.
And I've had pretty much hell on earth experience with like my current living situation.
And the other day, like actually two weeks ago, I've never met my neighbors.
I have no reason to.
We're not, we don't even live on the same property.
Right.
But I heard them belch.
like through two sets of walls
and it was like the craziest
clearing
I was just like
is my TV on
like am I watching prehistoric planet
it was the most insane sound
Are you sure that's what it was?
Yeah like it was unmistakable
Notice how I said belch
Right yeah I didn't say
That's not a word that people typically
I didn't say burp
Right
It was I can't even
It was gutterol
From the diaphragm
It was gutteral
Mm-hmm.
Right.
I was like, that's like a creature, like a beast.
But it was a burp for sure.
But whatever.
And then new thing that's been happening.
Mm-hmm.
I woke up the other day.
This has happened twice now, so I'm learning my lesson.
I promise I would never be someone who sleeps with my phone in my bed.
And kind of you just start to lose yourself when you move to L.A.
And suddenly I was just like a person that sleeps with my phone in my bed.
Uh-huh.
But my cord wrapped around my neck again.
That happens to me all the time.
What a way to go that would be.
That would be so fucking embarrassing.
It was such a weird way to structure a sentence.
What a way to go that would be.
So anyway, as I wake up, my cords wrapped around my neck.
And I was like, why did I just wake up?
I'm glad I woke up.
Yeah.
But like, I didn't wake up because I was being suffocated.
Oh.
Via cord?
Via Apple.
USB.
Via USB.
Uh, via lightning cable.
But I woke up because I could hear my alarm.
And I was like, where's it coming from?
I can hear my neighbor's alarm clock.
Wow.
That sucks.
Well, are your windows open?
Yeah, that'll do it.
I don't have AC in my actual bedroom.
No, me neither.
Only my living room.
Yeah, same.
Well, I live in a studio, so.
Right.
I have AC everywhere.
I have AC everywhere.
Okay.
Isn't your lease almost up?
Yeah, November.
Are you going to live there again?
I think so.
Damn, James.
I know.
James lives so far away from us.
He needs to move closer.
I know.
Yeah.
You're like North Hollywood?
North Hollywood.
No-ho?
Yeah.
No-ho.
No-ho.
Yeah, this was like a 45.
five minute Uber.
It's crazy.
I don't know why you do it to yourself.
I want James to move into my complex.
It makes sense.
You should.
Yeah.
You got,
is there like empty units?
I don't think so,
but you can move into mine
because I think I want to leave.
And you'll get a really sweet little brick wall.
I know you've been kind of wanting that.
Well,
I've heard it's a fake brick wall.
Depends how you do.
I have one last,
like, origin story question for you.
And then we can move on to like more,
so like pop culture or whatever.
For sure.
Um, okay. Have you seen any of the twilight?
Yeah, I saw one. I don't even know which one it was. I saw it with my cousin and little brother. It was like 2010. We saw it in theaters. Okay. Incredible. I remember hating it. Oh, okay. I mean, I was a- real, weird. It was like a 16-year-old boy. I mean, I was a 16-year-old boy. I was like, ball was like, I only cared about basketball. Yeah, you made, you made. You made a short-s chicken. I mean, I was a 16-year-old boy. I mean, I was a 16-year-old boy. I was like, I only cared about basketball. Yeah.
You didn't really get the magnitude of what was happening.
No, not all.
I don't know if you know this, but in the last, the first part of the last movie, Edward, vampire Edward gets human Bella pregnant.
And so within her, a little vampire human baby is growing.
And they just had no, it's unprecedented completely.
Yeah.
So there's never been a vampire that's gotten a human pregnant before.
So my question for you is Edward doesn't have any blood.
he's more so just like made of stone
so how would he get Bella pregnant
if he doesn't have any blood flow
if he kind of picking up what I'm putting down
He's just like
Hard all the time
He really doesn't have blood huh?
No not at all
Because when they crack open the vampires
The only way to kill a vampire James basically
Is to rip their heads off and then burn them alive
And just rip them apart
And when you're ripping them apart
It's like stone
The wooden steak.
I'm talking about the Twilight universe.
Have you like Googled this?
Yeah, I have, but I'm curious about what you think.
Are we talking boners?
Basically like boners and then like what's like how does he like have sperm?
If there's like no blood or like fluid.
This is why I have it so hard.
I'm gonna cry.
Why?
Okay.
I'm just going through something I think over here talking about boners.
That's why I can't.
Watch movies that people like because I just like get so stuck on plot holes like this.
So was it miraculous conception?
No, they had sex.
Immaculous conception.
They had sex.
My theory would be he sucks someone's blood.
He doesn't eat human blood, only animal blood.
Okay, well then he sucks.
The blood entered his body, went to his dick.
Uh-huh.
And he probably had like a limited time frame to have sex.
So I think probably every time he sucks blood, sucks someone's dick.
So that he could impregn't.
Bella with that?
I hope not.
I hope he didn't do that.
We're getting into dangerous territory here.
I'm sure we could find something on Wattpad.
I googled an answer
if you want to know it.
But your theory is that he sucks in animal's blood
and the blood went to his dick
and then he used that blood flow to impregnate Bella.
Yeah, he has like an hour.
The one exception to the stone
in the vampire's body has come.
I guess.
Yeah.
In Stephanie Meyer's world.
It's just blood and jizz?
Yeah, I guess.
Or it's just stone and jizz?
I think, I guess.
Care to explain?
Who wrote?
No, it was unprecedented.
Stephanie Myers.
But Stephanie Myers, you got from explaining to do.
But what she said is that there are human functions that Edward has, clearly.
We can see that as the movies go and that's just one of them.
But like it just, again, like, makes no sense to me when there's like no blood in his body when they're ripping other vampires apart and burning them alive.
I'm not going to be able to answer this question.
I don't, I think she's kind of fucked up.
I think my theory might be correct.
Okay.
Curious to hear what other people think.
But, you know, that's the theory kind of floating around.
Weirdly enough, I had brought that up to Connor, like, unrelated this weekend, this week.
And then somebody emailed us a few days later and was like, what do you guys think about this plot hole in Twilight?
And it was that.
That plot hole for some reason just isn't bugging me as much as other plot holes.
Yeah.
Did we ever see the vampire baby?
Yeah, Renezme.
Have you never seen the vampire baby?
Can you guys pull up Renezme?
Oh, wow.
Can you pull up the one she was a baby?
baby. Thank you, Ashley.
So she's a vampire. She also sucks. Animals' blood.
They actually, again, unprecedented.
So they didn't really know what she was going to be.
But turns out she will live to, she'll age to like 18 years old.
And then that was what we were, that's what we were working with.
What?
And then she'll just stay 18 forever.
And I don't know if you know this.
Wait a second. That's her?
Yeah.
That thing needs to be thrown into the river.
That's from Twilight?
That's from Twilight.
That's a vampire baby.
And Jacob.
I've seen her all the time.
Taylor Lautner, Jacob.
is in love with her.
Did you know that?
Wait.
He imprinted on her.
That's problematic.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yeah.
Taylor, oh.
So here's, yeah.
So Taylor, Lottner,
Jacob thought he was in love with Bella.
But really, he was in love with the part of Bella that was the baby, that was Renesme.
So the second that baby was born, he saw it, fell to his knees in front of the baby.
And we'll see this thing called imprinting where, like, you look at someone and you know,
like, that's like the person I need to spend my life with.
So he imprinted on that baby.
Yeah, there they are.
So he's a pedophile.
Ew!
What way?
No, it wasn't romantic until she turned 18.
Oh, yeah, I've heard that before.
He's a pedophile.
The last guy that said it wasn't romantic is dead now, and he definitely didn't kill himself.
Pedophile wolf groomer.
Ew, that is freaking weird.
That is an really interesting Twilight plot point, is the imprinting.
Stephanie needs to be investigated.
for federal racketeering.
Well, you know, Twilight's also like Mormon propaganda, too.
Because when she was, Bella, was pregnant, she was like, I'm keeping it.
And then Carlisle, the dad doctor was like, it will kill you.
And she was like, I don't care.
I'm keeping it.
So there's a lot going on in Twilight.
I'm not going to watch.
I don't know.
Why?
Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
It's really good.
You would love it, James.
I'm going to stick to B-ball, you know.
Ball is strictly bad as ball.
Oh, no.
No, no.
You know what? I did just watch.
The rehearsal? The rehearsal.
For those of you that don't know, Nathan Fielder,
creator of Nathan for you, has a new show called The Rehersal.
And you love Nathan for you, right, Connor?
Or do you just like it? Yeah, I do. I think it's...
You like Nathan for you?
It's probably my favorite show. I think me too.
Yeah.
I love Nathan for you. So this was a highly anticipated return to TV.
Yeah.
For me and James and, I guess not so much Connor, but kind of Connor.
Even let me talk, yeah.
I'm just prefacing.
Two episodes out, now you can take it away.
No, I mean, tell y'all's piece of it.
Well, you just said you didn't like, go ahead.
You want to say something.
You said I didn't like it.
You guys loved it?
No.
I didn't say that.
I said you're not as big of a fan as me and James.
Right.
No, I just think that, like,
Nathan for you was blatantly comedy.
It was comedically based.
Yeah.
It was funny.
Yeah.
This one is, you can't, I think it's smart.
I think you can't categorize this as,
a comedy. It is a social experiment
and it is uncomfortable
to watch. Nathan for you
was so comfortable. But Nathan for you is
business based and it is not personality disorder
based. Like this is about this is.
These people are for a fact
not 100%
like mentally. I don't think
a lot of the people in Nathan for you
weren't. Right. Because why else would they?
It's finding everybody on Craigslist so it's like what you get
is kind of up to chance.
Yeah.
Anyway, the premise of
The rehearsal, I guess that would be helpful.
Yeah.
Is that Nathan finds people that have something coming up in their life,
whether it's something that's definitely going to happen or something somebody wants to happen.
And he creates the exact circumstances for these people to rehearse the thing that they're either avoiding or want to happen.
And in the latest episode, this woman knows that she wants to be a mother eventually.
So he sets up a rehearsal for her.
Don't give anything away.
I'm not.
I'm just setting up a plot, a rehearsal for her in which she can practice.
being a mother.
And I thought that was the best thing
that I've ever seen in my life.
Really?
Truly.
Yeah, you like the first episode better?
A lot better.
Really?
I thought it was more funny.
It just, to, go ahead.
Well, I was gonna say, I didn't,
I was shocked that, like, episode three is carrying,
like, season, or, episode two is carrying into episode three.
Yeah, I don't really, I feel about that.
However, I do think the last episode is obviously setting up the next episode.
Right.
I think a big bang.
I think it's going to be really funny when, like,
When Nathan enters the rehearsal, maybe.
And there's, like, actual older kids.
Maybe not.
I don't want to spoil anything.
Because the babies were boring.
The babies were boring.
Now, like, the next stage is, like, a toddler.
And then, like, a high schooler.
I think that's going to be really fun.
Yeah.
I mean, I just, like, lost my shit at Robin, who was the guy that for a second was
rehearsing the part of the father.
Just like he was so, so.
He was weird.
He was not okay.
Yeah.
No.
Like, it freaks me out.
Nathan interacting with him to me.
I think the part of it was so.
The part of this show that freaks me out is like, it freaks me out that there are people that are, these are real people.
And I can't believe that we live in a world where these people are just walking around.
Right.
Both, every person that's been in this show so far that's not been Nathan could go postal domestic terrorism style.
Well, I think what the best part is Nathan interacting with them because it's like not everyone can see that.
He's not in most of the majority of these episodes.
Nathan for you was like he was in.
Yeah, he was the main character.
Yeah, I prefer that.
This is like straight up uncomfy.
Yeah, I love it though.
Oof.
I'm just like back to my three shows that I watch.
Do you think you're not going to keep watching?
No.
Really?
Unless you guys have an episode that is like pretty funny.
I don't like watching shows that make me uncomfortable for no reason.
Well, I would recommend it to anyone.
And I think he's the most brilliant mind in the world, I would say.
They should watch Nathan for you first, though.
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To ease it, to lube up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just think that the Nathan for You stuff is intentionally really funny, almost prank show-esque.
And this one is like, let's test how far humans will go.
Yeah.
And it's freaky.
You know what episode of Nathan for you that I hate because it's so many people and it's really scary to see how far people will go for a rebate on their gas.
That's one of the best one.
It's just insane.
Like it's almost too much for me to, I like very light stuff.
You know, like I don't want to see.
So there's an episode of Nathan for you.
Watch it.
It's the gas station rebate.
And basically he has them go for 24 hours and jump through all these hoops to get like $6 back on their gas for their tank that they filled up.
Which is.
They go on like a wilderness.
Ack of camping.
To like two gallons.
And they, yeah, they like put their, they're with like 15 other strangers.
And he's like, you can leave whenever you want.
It's essentially like a fear factor thing.
And they're all strangers and they go through and they, like, eight of them make it through the night sleeping with and they go really deep into conversation.
It's really something really just unsettling about.
My favorite episode is the ghost real-liter one.
And you know, Trisha Padas is in an episode?
Yeah, I did know that.
It's just was reminded of that recently.
Anyway, go watch Nathan for you.
I can't trust that enough.
And I would also recommend the rehearsal as well.
Really just like the best there is.
He's brilliant.
No, I think you should watch the rehearsal too so that I can see if I'm alone in this.
Yeah.
I don't like when I don't like something that everybody else likes.
It makes me freaked out that maybe I am living my solo experience.
I don't think.
No, I think there are a lot of people that like don't like to be uncomfortable.
I think that's completely normal.
Really?
I think that's completely normal to want to watch TV that like makes you feel good.
You know?
Yeah.
I like love suffering.
Yeah.
Here's something that I thought, I was this, that just reminded me.
Uh-huh.
You love suffering.
Yeah.
Do you think you're funnier when you're like mentally unwell and depressed?
It depends.
There's a threshold there.
Because it's like when I'm like my normal like mentally unwell, like baseline.
I'm funny.
But when I like pass the threshold, it's not funny anymore.
Right.
I listen.
Yeah.
I listened to something that you talked about in the last podcast you were on 18 months ago.
Jeez.
And you said, okay, I just need a ber.
I'm sorry.
You said that if you're depressed or going through.
through it or whatever.
Yeah.
Maybe not depressed.
You just will go silent, radio silence.
For sure.
That's how I am.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
It's clear head or nothing.
Yeah.
The scariest part, though, is before I get to that point, there's like a little bit
of mania where it's like, take my phone away, please.
You know?
The worst part is when you're like, I think James and I were talking about this before
we started recording when you're trying to be self-deprecating online as a way to help
you feel better and you're like, oh, like, I'm ugly.
something and just like to or like make a joke about it yeah and then people are like like
please don't talk this way about yourself blah blah blah like no I was being funny just just let me like
cope and be funny in the way that I want to be funny and cope like don't try to make me feel
better also if you agree also like this if you agree if you agree if you agree keep it yourself
yeah exactly um yeah I was thinking about that the other day because I had a meeting with somebody
and they're like yeah like we all watch your tic talks in the office and one day you posted three
times and we were like worried about you.
Oh.
Is that the mania piece before the depression?
I'd say like people, it was the beginning of a spiral.
So it was probably like a little twirl before the spiral, the big spiral.
Yeah, but I did post three times.
I deleted two of the three.
Because I was like, that is not me at all.
You know, the next day, clear head.
No, and I'm spiraling.
Sometimes I will.
Yeah.
Really fire off.
It makes it worse because it's not a clear head post, you know?
No, not at all.
Especially, I think it's really easy to start firing those off.
Really easy to fire off. Yeah.
Drunk tweets.
I've been there.
Ooh, yeah.
I've gotten better at not drunk tweeting because it typically doesn't go well.
Again, that's where my app idea would really come in handy.
You would just shut down Twitter.
You know, when you reach a certain blood alcohol level, certain apps could shut down on your phone.
Yeah.
I think that's a good idea.
I know.
I'd invest.
Thank you.
I kind of breath.
Text, dead.
Can't open the messaging app.
Twitter, dead to the world.
I kind of like browned out on Friday
I went to happy hour
I was gonna like keep it really chill
did keep it really chill
we just sat at one table for like four hours
and just like talked and had drinks
but I like came home and like woke up
the next day and had posted a picture
of the Taco Bell plastic game machine
on my story
and I was like miss you
good story
that's funny no but I was just like
what were you doing
Like last night
That's what needed to go on your story
I thought it was funny
You guys aren't even laughing
I said that's funny
But I was just like
Hmm
Some people drunk text their ex
Some people
Buy I don't know
Like I'm buying shit on Amazon
And posting weird
Nostologic plastic
Charity games from Taco Bell
On my Instagram story
It's everyone's brain works a different way
It's so fascinating now
You've been really into science recently
Yeah
Yeah
Really?
I mean, you wrote Science of Smells in our shared notes app.
I don't know what you wanted to talk about there.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Were you good at science in school?
It was my favorite subject, yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Because it was the science that we learn in schools is more like theories, you know, I feel like, and memorization.
I don't think, that didn't happen at my school.
What were you learning science?
I don't.
Avigodro number?
Huh?
Avogadro.
Oh.
I'm not making that up.
I have a godreau, really.
It's the mole number.
Unfamiliar.
You're kidding.
I thought we were going.
That's like Kemp.
This looks like that literally looks like renazazme.
Renazeme.
That literally looks like Renaissance Festival.
From Twilight.
No, I feel like it was all like I could cope.
Like there's no theory behind the elements in the periodic table.
It's just science.
You know?
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I guess it's a pain.
I don't remember anything from school.
I was just like so bad.
I guess physics is more so theory.
We were like mixing stuff together.
Chemistry?
Yeah.
I'm thinking of chemistry.
I don't know.
I like science.
It was in the green folder.
I like the color green.
Yeah.
Science is always in the green folder.
I feel like the science teachers also were like kind of freaky.
Yeah.
Hmm.
No, I never got that vibe.
My science teacher wore the same pants every day for like five years.
I respect that a lot.
How often you guys wash your jeans?
Ooh, never?
Be honest.
I'll be honest after you're honest.
Not.
I mean, I think I wear probably like when I do the wash
like three months at one or three months.
Ooh.
No, I'm like very similar.
Yeah, I don't.
They don't, I don't, you know.
They look weird.
They're stiff when I wash them.
You're not supposed to wash them.
You're not supposed to wash them.
If it's good denim.
Huh?
And I'll smell them.
I smelled these last night.
And they're fine.
I put them up my nose to the butt.
I'm like really sniffed to make sure.
Yeah.
Fine.
They smelled worn.
They smelled good.
Like, okay, this guy's been around.
Right.
Oh, my God.
I'm so with you.
Yeah.
I think it's a good thing.
Standing with you.
Yeah.
How often you want to have each other?
Those got to be a nightmare in the wash.
These are dry clean only.
Okay.
You take things to the dry cleaner?
I do.
Wow.
Yeah.
I take things to the dry cleaner because some of them have pleats.
You're where a lot of Dickies and Dickies have a pleat in the front.
I'm certainly not going to iron anything.
I would probably just throw something out if it needs to go to the dry cleaner.
Yeah.
My dry cleaner also does tailoring and fixes my watch.
That breaks like once every one.
Wow.
But I go in, I wash my pants because they start fitting weird.
It could also be that I'm fluctuating and weight constantly.
Could be.
Yeah.
So when I wash them, they fit better.
Farts.
What was I going to tell you?
you guys.
Huh.
I don't know, but I'm noticing that your short-term memory is kind of failing you recently,
and so is mine, and I don't know what's going on.
Long-COVID.
Do you think it's long-COVID?
No.
I don't know.
Long-COVID is a very real thing, though.
Yeah, it is.
You think so?
Yeah, brain fog.
I mean, I've had COVID, I think, two and a half times.
Yeah.
Two and a half?
Yeah.
Third time was a question mark.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
but I just like have never been the same
I feel like since I got it the first time
When did you first get it?
Was it in a good way or a bad way?
Patient Zero March 2020.
Oh in a horrible way.
Oh.
I feel like mine's kind of changed me for the better.
Really?
Yeah.
How?
I'm like more laid back now.
Because you're exhausted?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
I'm probably on my way out.
Right.
My cells have stopped regenerating.
Science.
Yeah.
Love science.
What about you?
You think?
I think I'm the exact same guy.
Didn't phase me.
Really?
That's pretty tight.
Yeah.
I've been through a lot, you know.
I can pretty much get through anything.
Speaking of science.
Yeah.
We took the Myers-Briggs test.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because someone told us to you, right?
Someone emailed them was like, I'd be curious.
So we hear you.
Yeah, James did.
Yeah, I took it.
It didn't really tell me anything, like something I didn't know about myself.
It was like, you're an introvert.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
I always get convinced.
confused because when I'm with people that I'm comfortable with, have to be the center of attention.
But if I am, like, wow, long COVID is so scary. Long COVID is really, really scary.
If I'm with people, I don't know, like, I can't make eye contact. I don't want to talk. And I usually like to be alone.
Yeah. So it's just like, it's a, I'm a question mark. I mean, you guys know me. I'm alone. I'm alone six days of the week. And
typically we'll text you guys
Friday and be like, all right.
Do you guys want to do something?
You're definitely an I.
I, uh, yeah.
What does this mean?
What do you guys talk?
I don't really know.
I'm just going to read off something that.
Sure, read yours.
You should have four letters.
Yeah, I got int.
Infa pt.
Oh, E.
Oh, E and F.
I thought it was like a word you say.
E N-F-P-T.
Wait, Connor, that's crazy.
Is that what you got?
I got I N-F-T.
What does E mean?
Okay, E is extroverted.
And I'm introverted.
You know what?
insane. My highest percentage of
number, so it gives you, like, traits.
My highest percentage is turbulent.
Which is just like, what does
that mean? You're pretty turbulent. I'm 94%
turbulent. Oh.
That means turbulent individuals are self-conscious
and sensitive to stress. They feel
sense of urgency in their emotions and tend to be
success-driven perfectionist and eager to improve.
That's like a bad thing to tell me.
I don't think that's horrible. What am I supposed to work
on that? Long COVID is so scary.
It is. Right. Makes you really turbulent.
And then more, what are you? Do you know your letters?
No.
You just know your eye.
What was your role?
Did you guys get a role?
What do you mean?
I got a role.
I don't think I got a role.
I got awarded diplomat.
Oh, me too, Connor.
Whoa.
I think this is bullshit.
This thing.
Throw all the same answers, no matter what you say.
Different letters.
No matter what you say, you'll get the same result.
Yeah, I think so too.
Yeah.
I'm intuitive.
Tell me something I don't know.
I got intuitive also.
And feeling.
That makes a lot of sense.
But to use my heart instead of my head.
I don't get that.
I feel like you would be thinking.
Yeah, I was thinking.
Oh, so you were T?
I was 50.
You were 50-50?
No, it was like 51% feeling.
Oh.
50% whatever, 49%.
Okay.
Well, interesting.
I don't think we took the right test at the end of the day.
I don't think so either.
No.
It's a starting point.
I didn't like it.
So I saw that you tweeted this morning about Obama's summer playlist.
Yeah.
It had no ad dulype on it.
That is fucked up.
up. Sorry.
Yeah, no, I agree.
Duolipa is summer.
She is summer, yeah.
Should be all of Obama's summer playlist.
Let's check.
I know his first one is that no Beyonce song.
He had some good ones on there.
Yeah, it's for sure fun.
He has good taste.
He had Vince Staples, who's my favorite human on Earth.
Wow.
He had Vince Staples.
So I was really pumped about that.
But not having Duolipa just makes me feel like he's lying to us.
I just can't really picture.
No offense, obviously, to miss.
Mr. Obama, but you're not listening to music for a sushi restaurant.
I see.
That's where I think I would disagree.
I think it could be.
I totally think he is.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I apologize.
This one?
I could totally see it.
This list was more believable than his other ones, I think.
But the no-doa got me, yeah.
That's the only thing that really upset me.
That's really weird.
If I was Duolipa, I would take that extremely personally.
Yeah.
Okay, here's one that I can't picture him listening to.
The internet.
It would make me really happy if I saw him listening to this,
but I don't see him listening to Keep Looking Up by Casey Musgraves.
Hand to God.
I could see like,
I don't even know that song.
I don't even know that song.
And him being like, what's this?
Like, I kind of like it.
You know?
Yeah, I like it.
The way that dads do.
Who's the older one, Sasha Malia?
Malia.
I love.
I used to see her at,
I used to see her at bars in Boston when she was underage.
My friend.
And she just wouldn't be able to get in because they were like,
you're Malia Obama.
Like, we know you're not 21.
My friend was at Red Rocks in Colorado and was smoking a joint and looked over and Malia was right there with a bodyguard.
And she went, her friend went, handed it to the bodyguard and the bodyguard handed it to Malaya.
If I were a bodyguard, I would say that probably has poison in it.
Well, it was a couple, it was years ago.
Before people were poisoning?
Yeah, it was like pre-poisoned era.
we're now in our poison era
I don't know if there was ever
there was always a
Lasers in the candy era
So it could have been that
It could have yeah but it wasn't
Anyways yeah
Obama if you're listening to this I have
I would fire your bodyguard no offense
Well I think she's probably good now
Does Obama follow you guys
He follows like a million people
Doesn't follow me on what?
On Twitter?
On Twitter? He follows like a million people on Twitter
James this space is so good for manifestation
So if that's what you want
Say it
want something specific.
I don't think I even want the Obama follow anymore.
What do you want?
Who would you like freak out if they followed you?
Hmm, man.
Breathe in really deep.
Duolipa.
Do a.
My recent obsession with her is very new.
My buddy was like, obviously like I've heard her hits.
I've heard her hits.
He's like actually listen through her album.
It's really good.
Have you heard like Pretty Please?
No.
Oh my God.
I listen to it on the way over here.
It's so good.
Oh, that's awesome.
I love Ualipa.
I've always loved ULULifa.
She's great.
I don't really like good music.
Watch her tiny desk.
Phenomenal.
No, her tiny desk is really great.
I really want to do that.
What?
The call.
Do it.
Should we?
Yeah, I think, yeah.
Okay.
I think you should.
I'm going to try it.
And I'm going to just stand here and watch.
There's a trend going around on TikTok right now where you call someone and you speak in a baby
voice.
And here is a little clip of it.
How are you?
How are you, Aiden?
What are you doing, little boy?
I'm just doing some design work.
And you just kind of see if they'll speak to you back in the same one.
I'm so scared.
So, Connor, want to do it, and I think you should call Cody, as in Cody Co.
So I'm going to call him, our founding father.
Professor Coe from Coe Academy.
Yeah.
I won't be speaking.
He's so busy at 10.30.
I don't want to, okay.
What's he doing?
Surfing?
Come on.
Give me a break.
I will say Kelsey did just text me.
What's you say?
What's your email?
So I don't.
So I'll call Kelsey after.
Okay.
Or do you want to?
No, I'm too.
I can't do it.
I'm calling Cody.
I'm so scared.
Hi, Cody.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
Good.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
I'm just sitting around kind of thinking about you.
what you're doing stuff.
Are you, what is this?
Nothing.
I just miss my Cody.
Are you recording the podcast?
What are you doing, Cody?
I'll make you some music.
I love music.
Yeah, it's good.
It's good stuff, that music.
Okay, love you, Cody.
Okay, love you too.
Bye.
Come on, why didn't you do it back at all?
Yeah, we'll disappoint.
I mean, he was making music, dude.
That was a really great performance on your end, Connor.
Hats off to you.
Well, now I want to do someone else.
Kelsey's not with him doing music.
Oh, my God.
My heart's racing going pizza pads and pits a pat.
Kelsey's on the soundboard right now.
Kelsey will do it back.
It's not looking good.
I'm angry.
Message.
Kelsey, why won't you?
I'm an angry baby.
She's producing right now.
He's producing his music.
Record your message after the.
Tone, simply hang up when done, or for delivery.
Press the pound sign.
Come on.
Hi, Kelsey.
I miss you.
I hope you are safe and comfy at home with the kitty cat and chewy.
Bye.
Yon!
How can we can't get any callers today?
I feel like my mom would do it back.
Should I try it?
Do your mom.
Do your mom.
My mom would be like, Connor, we, we,
paid for a college degree.
And it is 11 a.m.
on a Wednesday.
You should be in an office right now.
How come you don't have health insurance?
How about a 401k?
She's not going to answer.
What could she possibly be doing?
It's coming.
She's going to answer.
She's going to answer.
She's not going to answer.
Oh, that too many.
Because you know, mom's usually answer on the first ring.
Right.
My mom didn't when I was in jail.
That's so frustrating.
Only time my mom is.
Oh, she said with patient, call you on the way home.
can you call me now?
She's with a patient.
The doctor now?
Tough.
Can you call it?
What is your mom patient?
I don't know.
What is your mom guiding someone?
Can you call me now, actually?
I mean, I know she works in her doctor's office,
but I don't know why she would be with the patient.
I think we really should.
That could be a HIPAA thing, Brooke.
If we start touching HIPAA territory,
I think that this podcast may have a timeline.
She's fine.
Did you,
did you guys ever figure out what kind of chairs these are for me?
Oh,
Do you remember when I ask you that?
That was definitely like a goal of ours.
Let me check.
I was, I was look.
So after, you know, their first episode, I did ask.
I was like, what kind of chairs are these?
Because I was shopping for a new chair.
And I thought this would fit perfect in my apartment.
And you guys never.
You're like, oh, we'll find out right away.
You never found out.
ADHD.
I don't take any med.
You know, I was kind of hoping for maybe like an Ellen DeGeneresite moment.
We're like, you're like James.
Like, we know you.
like these chairs.
Oh, so take it home with me.
Do you want to just maybe take the chair?
And then like Cody Coe was going to wheel one out for me.
I knew it was Amazon.
That's a gorgeous chair.
Now I fell back because I told my mom it's an...
178 bucks.
You guys could have gifted me that.
Come on.
I know it's in the budget.
For your birthday, which is...
I know it's in the budget.
Yeah.
Cody, I know it's in the budget.
Well, Cody's producing music right now.
Cody being a little baby right now.
DJ Coe is busy on the tracks right now.
DJ busy.
Busy coat.
I'm gonna call you busy coat.
That was like the coolest response.
I'm just making music.
I'm like, damn.
They do our baby voice to me.
I'm in the studio right now, dude.
Okay, well, we touched on absolutely nothing yet,
so let's race through some stuff.
Should we touch on some current events?
Yeah, touch our current event.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Speed around.
Well, there's a lot of beef in the Don't worry, darling community.
Don't worry, darling.
Walk us through that.
Okay, don't worry, darling is Olivia Wilde's upcoming film
starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh
and also Nick Kroll.
And the thing about me is, you know I'm not,
like, I'm not a, like, I'm not, like,
self-obsessed or narcissistic.
Like, I feel like that's one good quality I have is,
like, I almost kind of like hate myself, you know,
in a cute way.
Yeah.
But I do believe that there is a God
because the amount of people that probably like
Harry Styles and Nick Kroll the same amount
are very limited, you know,
that are obsessed with both of them.
And that's me.
And so I do feel like this movie was kind of made for me.
Anyway,
basically Olivia Wilde came out with a new trailer for the movie.
And everybody's posting it except for Florence who posts everything under the sun.
Yeah.
Except for Olivia Wild trailers.
I saw that.
So everyone's kind of wondering what the beef is between Florence and Olivia.
I love that poster.
Yeah.
This movie looks so good.
Yeah, I'm stoked.
I'm going to have to walk me to do this.
So Olivia Wilden.
Harry Siles are together.
Yes.
And Harry Siles has a lot of love making with Florence Pugh.
I'm wondering of making Florence fell for Harry.
One of my favorite actresses.
Yeah, she's amazing.
I love her.
So you think there's beef there.
I know there has to be.
I'm curious because Olivia set this whole thing up.
For herself?
I kind of think, I have a theory here, and we'll never know if this is true or not.
I kind of think Olivia kind of like gets a little excited.
seeing like Harry with
Oh
Because this has happened several times
Like he's being put in all these movies
As like the love role
And now like she's known it's been happening
And now he's an actor officially
This is the first movie as a love role
Except if you're thinking about I Carly
No no no he was in that war movie
He was in that one movie
Yeah but that wasn't a love role
I Carly
That was war
Was he in I Carly?
Was he in I Carly?
And there was a little
flirtation between Carly and Harry
Is that what you're referring to?
My theory is that like if you're in your lovers and you set your lover up and you're also in the movie.
Oh, I forgot she is in the movie.
Kind of like you going home and they're making, they're watching the scenes back.
I just think that there's something there.
If she wasn't into this situation.
I think she's kind of into it.
Do you think she knew already that there was going to be something with her and Harry?
She's not dumb.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
It's kind of sexy.
Yeah.
Anyways, yeah, best of luck to all involved.
Yeah, I am just like really curious about what's going on there.
Anyways.
Yeah, we also had a revelation this weekend that I don't want to talk about that I figured out one of my new favorite bands is unfortunately one of the Stranger Thin' Kids bands.
And it's not Joe Carey's band.
Oh, I love Joe Keri's band.
I know.
To Joe.
To Joe.
It's actually pronounced Joe.
Hi, Kelsey.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
I miss you.
What are you doing, Kelsey?
Why are you talking like this?
Because I miss you and I'm just sad because I haven't...
It actually makes me want to die. I wish I never called you.
I haven't seen you so long, Kelsey. What are you doing?
I thought you were doing like a New York accent at first. How are you?
No, I'm just so sad because I miss you and I want to cuddle.
you. I'm just a baby.
I'm not getting you back to you. Come on, Kelsey.
Don't you love me?
I can't. I'm like, my face is bright red right now. This is so embarrassing for everyone involved.
Kelsey, what's your favorite song? Kelsey, what's your favorite snack?
Get with this. Truly.
Okay, Kelsey, it sounds like you're in the car.
Love you. Bye.
Back.
If there's one thing about the coes,
they're not baby talkers.
No.
There's something to be said about the case.
Kelsey was a good sport.
You made her both a lotch through the phone.
I want someone to do it back.
It's impressive.
I told my mom it was an emergency,
and she still didn't respond.
She's with a patient.
Patients come first.
Totally.
I can't even think of someone that would do it back now.
I'm thinking about it.
That isn't just like.
I think Sally Darwood.
But she probably, she knows the truth.
friend. I bet my buddy Kyle would. Call Kyle Zimmerman. Oh, yeah, I love Kyle. I'm a big fan of
Kyle Zimmerman. Great guy. He's going to do it. Sorry, I can't, I can't. That's okay. When you start,
you can't stop. I can't rest until someone does it back. He also has a 95, too. You know what? He's just
not good to have a lot of time. I am actually a little nervous about Kyle Zimmerman.
Yeah. I thought about that.
Uh
Uh,
Uh,
Um,
Anyways, okay,
uh
Did anything else happen this week?
No,
there was something else
that I wanted to do before we,
Oh,
yeah,
wheel out a new chair.
Okay.
Sorry, James.
Maybe next time.
So Kyle just responded and said,
Okay.
Sup ho.
Uh-huh, yeah.
That's how he would have answered, yeah.
I saw the movie Nope this weekend.
Oh, how was it?
Here's the thing.
Jordan Peel is a genius.
Yeah.
So me not understanding the movie is a reflection on me.
Yeah.
And not Jordan Peel.
So I didn't connect with the movie, but that does not mean the movie is bad.
It means that I'm stupid.
I love keeping.
Yeah.
I think that's the same way that I feel about these Nathan for you, Nathan Fielder things.
Like, I understand that it's smart.
Not for me.
Right.
Nope was like, I think like, I know because Jordan Peel made it like obviously brilliant.
Did not understand one second of it.
I saw Nope.
Oh, my God.
James, what'd you think?
I think, I hope, this isn't spoiling it, I don't think.
I think like the message of the movie is like, people will go to any lengths.
Yeah.
To like, well, A, people love spectacles and they'll go to any lengths to like capture it.
Yeah, I got that.
And like, exploit it.
Got that.
I was just like, okay.
I think that's like the message.
Yeah, I guess I was like, okay, yeah, I get that.
I'm going to go see it.
And then I'll be the tiebreaker.
Yeah.
But Kiki Palmer is awesome
Incredible.
She was awesome.
Can we all take one quick second
here and just give a big
fuck you to the Little Miss whatever trend?
Yeah.
Whoever started that, you should go to hell.
Or jail for a long time.
I cannot wait.
That is the most
sad I've been like getting on the internet.
It's been so frustrating every single platform
and every single brand hopping on that.
I've been like,
this is just ruining every single platform
for me and it's just because people are taking part in something.
Did you just hate it because it was everywhere?
Like the first day someone did it, I was like, oh no.
Right.
Oh no.
It's going to happen.
And then I watch it kind of catch and it's still happening.
It'll fizzle out.
What is that even from?
What's the origin of that?
Little Miss Sun.
Well, there was like that Little Miss, like, brand.
Oh, really?
I just thought, I just thought.
I used to have T-shirts like that with my L-L Bean short.
growing up.
Yeah, I never,
oh, I recognize the yellow girl.
That's like an iconic figure.
Oh, Little Miss Sunshine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But I don't recognize the others.
Yeah, they're.
Oh, it's just like, we just need.
It was kind of like a Palfield kind of vibe.
We just need to know when to stop.
Yeah.
Totally.
Yeah, I remember tag, tag yourself on Facebook.
Yeah.
Oh, that was funny for a second.
Those were fun.
Those were fun.
And then, you know, those notes that you wouldn't do on Facebook that was like another, like,
tag your friends, like, and everyone wanted to answer the same questions.
I was the biggest troll on Facebook ever.
I would tag like every person from every click in a Facebook post.
So it showed up on everybody's wall and I would just like watch it.
It was like watching a fire that I sat from afar.
My biggest regret in life is like in high school I got really embarrassed about all the videos that I would leave on people's Facebook walls.
Because I think in middle school, like every day after school I would come home three hours post videos on me.
I Mac Camera.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That was a popular thing.
And I deleted them all.
And like I spent like a month going through every person in my high school's Facebook walls and deleting every video I had ever left them.
And I wish I hadn't done that.
One of the coolest things you could do in high school with your friend group was like take group photos with the IMAQ camera.
Post a little photo album.
And go into the Apple store and do that on their devices as well.
I still do that.
Oh, it gives me chills.
It's just so embarrassing.
It's incredible.
That's something that was just like very embarrassing.
Walking into the Apple Star with its Starbucks, strawberries and cream, extra whipped cream.
Yeah.
Drink.
Yeah, the boys got all dropped off separately from the girls and you meet up at the mall.
Yeah, incredible stuff.
That's incredibly, and I can smell Abercrombie from here.
Oh, my God, I have goosebumps.
I was, I never went through that phase.
Really?
No.
You weren't a mall kid?
No, I was not a mall kid.
That's weird.
What were you doing?
You're from the Midwest.
You know where I was?
The skate rink?
You know where I was?
I was in the gym.
Playball.
I was in the gym.
Ball is life.
Working on your shot.
Working on my shot. Yeah.
I love that.
You're doing 40 push-ups a day right now, right?
Mm-hmm.
It shows.
Wow.
So the last two weeks I was doing 30 a day.
Now I'm strong enough to do 40 a day.
Whoa.
Who knows?
Who knows where it could go?
I think the sky is the limit.
It could get to the point where, like, I'm doing like 500 a day.
We'll see.
I could not do one.
I'm scared for next time you come on here and you can't fit in our chair that we just bought.
Yeah.
You have to be careful, though.
I went through like a really big.
weightlifting phase before you guys knew me.
It was like 2016. Really? I got really
beefy. Do you have pictures of beefy James?
You could find some photos to the point
where like my friends tell me now like
they were uncomfortable with it. They're like we looked at you
and we weren't comfortable. I get that a lot.
I get that a lot. But I was doing at
the time like my warm up was like 150
push-ups. Oh my God.
But it's really bad for your posture.
That's why I stopped completely.
Yeah. And that's also
why I've stopped going to the gym that I paid $200
for a month. If you guys had seen my
posture in like 2018.
And it got to the point where like it was, I was like the hunchback.
Yeah.
Really bad.
Not for time.
And I got like body to smorophy from it.
Wow.
It destroyed me.
Like I wouldn't even go outside sometimes.
But the good thing was is like it made me obsess over it where I fixed it.
I grew two inches.
Say more.
So I went from 5.10.
I'm now six feet tall because I fixed my posture.
Isn't that crazy?
Oh my gosh.
So that's my problem too probably.
Here's what you need to do.
Trust me.
I went through every different type of.
way to fix your posture.
There's so many different videos on YouTube.
Yeah.
It's the simplest one.
You ball up two socks and a ball.
It's called a Dowager's Hump is what I had.
You put it right on the ball of your neck.
You put the sock under the ball of your neck.
You lay flat on the ground.
And then you like push your chin down.
Do like a few reps of that a day.
You'll feel like cracking.
Within like a month, your posture will be great.
So what you're saying is that it's possible I'm 5'1?
Yeah, no, for sure.
Whoa.
I can't imagine a life over five foot.
That means I'm almost six, four.
Yeah.
It's,
I would just put my mind to it.
Yeah.
It's great because, like, I'm,
I've had this friend of mine who was always, like, a little bit taller than me,
and now I'm taller than him.
And it happened in, like, my mid-20s.
That's really awesome.
He's not taking it well either.
He's really upset about it.
Whoa.
Sorry to him.
Try to keep up.
Huge for me, and he also made, you know, he used to make fun of me for being short, so.
Yeah.
No, it was huge.
It's great being six feet tall, I got to say.
Okay.
Okay, well, that's great.
So socks?
Did you just order socks on...
Yes.
Oh, I'm still hoping my mom will call on them.
You could use those socks right there.
Go home, ball them up.
Ooh, yeah.
Well, let's end on this.
Yeah.
We got an email.
I don't actually, I don't know if this was an email.
This might have come from my brain,
but it is possible it wasn't from my brain.
What celebrity crush of yours,
or just a celebrity in general, I guess,
do you think that on your best day,
like when you're feeling like a 10,
you could pull?
Hmm.
Do you guys think I would have a shot with Lindsay Lohan?
I think, yes.
You think so?
No, Connor saying no.
Why not?
I don't think you have a shot because I don't think that you would get along with it, really.
I think you could pull her.
I don't think that you two would get along.
She's kind of, I don't know about that.
Does it not freak you out that she has like a past of like craziness?
I love bad girls.
I'm joking.
That's the title of the episode.
Cocation James loves bad girls.
I don't.
Hey, opposites attract.
I don't.
No, it's a little worries.
I think you...

It's been so long.

You like babies.
Are you, are you Jacob from Twilight?
I'm not, uh, I'm not, yeah, thank you.

So what do you think another one would be?
Well, I'll say mine
Okay

Uh huh
Yeah for sure
Doja Cat, Doja Cat, Doja Cat
Well she's so active online too

She probably knows you
Well with all the Brittany Brosky stuff
I bet she's seen all of our faces
Right
What about you bro?
I would like to think Nathan Fielder
Yeah, I can see that too
That's it
All right well manifestation is a very real thing
Yeah
I encourage everyone to manifest something today.
Maybe if that's two inches, two inches is a lot.
Totally.
Of growth?
Of growth.
Hey, it's possible.
I'm proof.
And growth can happen in any direction.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just want to leave it open-ended in that way.
Right.
But we do have to wrap up.
Caucasian James, thank you so much.
You are just such a blessing to do.
I hope this was good.
Twitter.
I'm nervous.
We got to send you away at a 45-minute Uber right now.
Yep.
Yep, long, long track home.
I'll be thinking about everything I said.
Actually, I won't.
I'm doing great now.
You honestly nailed it.
You really did.
I think I have a lot to think about, honestly.
Today.
Me too.
But where can everybody find you?
Anything exciting coming up that we should keep our eyes out for?
You can find me at Caucasian James on social media.
And the biggest event in my life right now is me shooting a slow-mo basketball shot in my mini-hoop and my phone.
Every day. Today's 23?
23?
It's my MJ day.
Jordan Day. Oh, yeah. Okay.
No, it's funny. Yeah. No.
That's awesome. It's a big deal. It's a big deal.
And James's merch is probably the best out there behind.
Oh, so true. Probably, probably like right behind.
Phibs? Mine.
Your merch was good. I'm just kidding. No, yours is fucking great.
That was actually, well, we had that conversation. Anyways, James has great merch. We do have to wrap up.
James, we love you.
Love you. Thanks for coming out, and we'll see you next week.
I love you guys, too.
Say, Smooches. People want you to keep saying.
