So, like, people, you have to explicitly say, like, this is a parody account if you're going to make fun of someone, which is funny because that was, like, his whole thing against the, like, whatever free speech. And you know what it reminded me of? What?

Remember when Neville bought I Carly, because the domain went up for sale? And they'll rue the day. And they'll rue the day. Yeah. And, like, he was just this big, like, loser that didn't have any friends. Well, he just wanted a kiss. Who could blame him? Yeah.

Do you think that Elon is following a... He's just wanting a kiss? Yeah. Neville Paperman's footset? Elon Musk just wants a kiss from Hengreen. What do you mean by that? I mean he just wants a kiss from Hank Green probably. But at the end of the day, the current is going to keep moving in this river of this thing we call life.

The balls are going to keep rolling in this thing we call this goofy little thing we call life. The kind of sweat is going to keep kind of coming. out of. Oh, speaking of sweat, that reminds me. I've been smelling like, like a hoagy for the past few days.

Like the sandwich? Like, yeah, like an Italian, Italian sub, as you would say, in non-Philadelphia places. You know why? Don't make his growling.

You know why? Why? Because my deodorant that I've been applying 14 times a day for the past few days, it's new. It had the, like,

the clear cap on it. Oh, so nothing is actually. Nothing. I was touching, it was skin to cap contact. You know what's not going to work for that? The placebo effect. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. You can't placebo that. Pits are not. Pits are not pro subscribing to the placebo effect.

No, they will move forward with smelling like roadkill. I am, that being said, I am the most susceptible person to a placebo effect you could probably find on this. Me too. I think that goes hand in hand with joining a cult. Yes. Yeah. I was like, okay. Yeah.

Wait. You just healed. It is incredible how powerful the mind is. I want to get back to that, but first, a few callouts before we kind of dive into the meat of the episode. I don't know if you're watching the video version, you might be noticing that my sweater looks a little funky, and that's because there's green pieces in it. And I'm not allowed to wear green on the green screen due to the effects of that. But I want you to know that it doesn't look funky in real life. It's actually gorgeous because this is the sweater I was working on last week that I finished.

Connor let's hear gorgeous yeah I couldn't have said it better myself so I'm really loving the way this turned out it's stacked like a hoagie you think yeah it's got I'm seeing a pickle I'm sorry did I touch your ariola

direct nipple the finger contact that's fine sorry yeah no worries go figure your nipple is located in the middle of your breast weird how that works out we still don't have HR on set so I'm good there but I don't know what blue you would put on a sandwich which maybe. Blobs,

blueberries? Yeah, maybe. By the way, so good for you. Yeah, antioxidants. I've been on a health side of TikTok. Those are just like nature's pills. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You're going to realize anything with a lot of that pigmentation, great for you. Yes. I would suggest jumping on over to, they actually sell at Whole Foods, these like purple potatoes. Oh, I bet those are so good for you. They taste like potatoes, but they're apparently really.

They're very high in. I'm so bad at the longer words. They're good for you. High and in antioxidants? Well, antioxidants, yes, but there's like a... It's like something more like that. Usually when I... Microdomibration, probably.

Yeah. That could be... Actually, I think that's a procedure you get done. I want that badly for my skin. Yeah. I've had it before. It doesn't do anything. My mom... Is that where they do the needles all over your face? I think it's like very fine needles that kind of...

of get rid of the first layer of your skin. It can't be what God intended. It's called a vampire facial, right? I don't know. I know what you're thinking of where they make your face look bloody. My mom got that. I think that's maybe a different kind of. My mom got that and me and my sister were super young and we were so scared of her. Yeah.

Because we had just watched Harry Potter. Not sure how that was. You weren't allowed to watch Harry Potter. Oh, we snuck it in. Oh, we snuck a Sorcerer Stone in there when she was. wasn't, good job. When she wasn't on her A game. I think I got more in trouble for watching Harry Potter when she found out than I did for

like drinking. Really? Wow. The only thing I was never allowed to watch was Juno. Because my parents thought I was going to get pregnant. Jokes on them. Nothing like like watching a movie being like maybe I should get pregnant. Yeah.

A movie about how hard it is to be pregnant in high school to be like, wait, I want to do that. Yeah, I was allowed and encouraged to watch Human Centipede 1. too but juno yeah no that was where they threw the line yeah probably because of Michael Sarah you think I love him I would date him in one second okay yeah just yeah cool yeah um you know every time I push this mic is all over my face and mouth yeah I wonder if this is this is this is am I sharing this mic with anybody does anybody know is this a same like I would

mic condom that's on for like a bunch of people because I'm like putting Yeah, me too. You're probably sharing with Zach because he's on that side and I'm probably sharing with Walid. Yeah. I don't know though. Because we're set sisters.

Yeah. I don't know. Anyways, shoot, what were we on? What are we on right now? What were we? We were talking about, moved on from sweater. Welcome back to.

We were talking about the power of the mind. Yeah. Which I do. Like, I think that's going to be a big theme in this episode. Yeah, me too. Not ready to get there yet though. No.

I was talking about how your sandwich looks like a sweater. You touched my nipple. Yep. And, oh, yeah. That's it for my sweater. Oh. Just know that it is probably looking more gorgeous in real life. I wish you could all see it, but I'm not going to show you the back because it's,

I don't know what the back of my hair looks like today and it's none of my business, including my business or your business or anyone's business. I'm not. I won't. Yeah. Private. Yeah. Yeah.

We were arguing about something before we started filming as well. I think we just, you know, welcome everybody back. Okay. Sorry. Guys, welcome everybody back to Burke and Connor. Make a podcast. I feel like we have some other. I feel like it's been forever.

I feel like it has too. It's just been one week. Yeah. We came in yesterday to get, you know, some filming done. And then it did, it's raining in California for once in a, once in a harvest moon. And it was blood moon last night, by the way. What exactly does that mean? The moon is red.

I didn't see that. Yeah. Well, it was raining all night. Uh-huh. So you couldn't see it, which is bummer. But I did put a crystal out in the moonlight. Good. I got to charge mine.

Again, because placebo, that's mine. Oh, 100%. You'd have to put it up your ass, unfortunately. And I'd be like, yeah. Yeah, I would do, yeah. As long as it'll do what? And they're like, oh, it'll just do all the stuff you want to happen is going to happen now. I'm like, okay, great.

That is truly. Let me Let me put it in my butt. Yeah. I also put a glass of water out last night as like you would do for Santa with cookies. Right. But it's just a glass of water for me to drink.

That's going to be charges. Good energy. Yeah, but then, oh, this is wild to say out loud. They said that I need to read my manifestations off to it. To the glass of water. And then drink it. Perfect.

I just read my to-do list off to it. because I really got to get that thing done. Sometimes that's all you can do. You know? Yeah. You know, it's like, okay, this is, it's just simply like, fold that laundry baby. You know how I've been holding myself accountable for tasks recently? I've been posting on my Instagram stories.

I've noticed. And being like, I'm going to the gym. And then it's like, I have to go to the gym because I told everybody I was going to go to the gym. And then I post a follow up photo of me at the gym. Because it's like, it would be horrifying. mortifying, embarrassing if I didn't go. So that's really helpful. I should post that I'm going to call the dermatologist.

I should do that right now. But I'll do it after. Yeah. No, it's fine. I say I'm envious that you stick by your word. I have to. So many people are like, hey, how's hard 75 going? I'm like, it's not good.

Yeah. It's not good. What is hard 75? I've been seeing a lot about it. I think it's when you take one of those gas station boner pills and have to call a doctor. they have those oh my god they have those yeah we used to do some crazy stuff in college with the gasation boner pills yeah you bet you have you had one yes how what what was it like um a boner for too long yeah what do you think would happen if i took one you would probably get a boner

uh-huh somehow very cool yeah but i don't yeah i don't think i'd have to go to the hospital but who knows with me you're supposed to do doc doc i could use doc doc yeah doc talk um um um um um um um um um This episode is brought to you by Zock Dog. Got a boner for four plus hours. Dock doc, doc. Wait another half hour and then download the Zock Doc app. Ooh, there was something that I was about to call poison control for the other night. But, oh.

It's actually, like, not funny. It's, like, scary. Okay. So just know that when Brooks says this thing that may come off is scary to y'all, it's funny to us. No, it was just like I was just panicking. Oh. I just didn't want one of those things where it's like, that is actually really concerning and sad.

That is my least favorite thing about the internet is when you kind of try to unload your trauma through like posting about it and reclaiming it as funny and being like, look, this is funny and people are like, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Are you okay? Not looking for that at all,

just looking for a ha-ha-ha. You know what makes me feel better? 1,200 shares and some laughs. Yeah, exactly. You know, some interaction. Hell yeah, Colin. But what happened, I was using Drano in my sink as well as my bathtub. And it got on my hands.

And then I immediately stuck my fingers in my mouth. What it tastes like? I tasted it, which was the concern. And then I googled what happens if you drink Drano? Organs are going to melt. So imagine my shock and horror. Turns out it was not an amount that would do that. But really scary.

Human Drano. To melt your organs? No, just to get all the toxins out? I think that's an enema. We can't do an inema conversation again back and the back. Did we have one last? Yeah, we did. The jet ski that went up my house.

Oh, my God. Yeah, you're so right. It's hard to keep track. It is hard to keep track. Of shit fart conversations we have. Yeah. I was going to say, happy voter day yesterday.

We were here yesterday and we were going to talk about it then, but now it's like tomorrow. Right. From that. But hopefully everybody got to get out and vote. For all of us. There was a 25-year-old that got elected. And I've said for so long, I'm like, okay.

Isn't that illegal? It's 35 for presidents. Oh. What's his name? I'm actually going to make sure that that's pretty. What state? Florida. Forgive my ignorance.

Florida. Okay, that checks out completely. Yes, Maxwell. Yeah, Maxwell Frost. Great name. Yeah. Maxwell Frost. Maxwell is so, like, I've never met a Macs

that goes by Maxwell, I just met Max's. Maxwell is more of you Maxis should start going by Maxwell, even if that's not on your birthday. Lie. Lie about it. Like that is an incredibly sophisticated name. Maxwell Frost. That is really good.

What does he stand for? He's great. That's great. I read through some stuff last night, but the coolest thing to me, he's in Florida, which is great for Florida. Maybe I'll see him when I go visit Mama and Papa. up over the holiday. Maybe.

This cool thing is he's like Jin Z. Yeah, that is wild. Yeah. I wonder what his first act will be. Can we scroll down? I read a bunch of people. Yesterday I get him confused. Let's see.

Frost was heavily favored to win the Orlando base seat, which is solidly Democrat. Why is my alarm going off for 944? Birth control. Okay, 19% Okay, I'm not sure what his big thing was. What's his title? Is he kind of like a congressman?

Oh, he's a, he's a, he's being in gun, uh, what's a call? He's, he's going to re-revent it that reform, yeah. Loving that. Uh, because he was a survivor of a, really? Yeah. An event. Wow. So nothing, no one better to be.

Really? Wow. Gun control continues to be a top issue among young voters. Oh, there he is. And Newton, Connecticut. Okay. Yeah. So he was in.

Wow. Oh my God. It's pretty cool. I mean, like not the situation, but like pretty cool. I think it's nice to have someone that isn't actively, like, needing to be potentially put in a home, like, in a place of power. Yeah. Wow. He's frontal lobe.

Fully developed. Yes. Alzheimer's? No. So like, great. Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's. All-timer award?

I don't know. You get what I'm saying. He's just not an old oldie. He's not an oldie. And not to be ages because it would never be. I just think that if they're allowed to be. It's nice to have one. If they're allowed to be in office that early, put them in office that early.

They're fresh out of school. They know all this stuff. And they're in touch with people. Very cool. Twitter could have been a really cool tool for him. Yeah. Now I don't know. But I thought, let's see what else I had to say.

Thank you for bringing that to you. That was cool. Because before then I was like, we're in like a really cool position right now of like going backwards for some reason. And then I saw like it was really baby steps forward. Well, yeah, because so much that we were like voting on yesterday was stuff that just like basic human right was already ready to go. But I thought it was really funny seeing people like like the Katie Barry's and stuff posting like LA is gone to shit. And I was like don't you have like a $40 million home in Monaseo? You know? Yeah. Like next to Prince Harry. Sure.

I don't think that. Although damned if you do, damned if you don't. Yeah. You know. But I think like when they come out and then people are like, yeah, Katie Perry's voting for X. It's like, yeah, but Katie Perry doesn't have the same problems you have because she's not in your tax bracket because she has. You don't have the same problems as someone who has a Las Vegas residency, you know? So the issues you're voting on are different.

But it's like. Even though she wore a cheeseburger costume. But like she has, it's like good. Yeah, it is good. I don't know. You know. That was just what I, that like caught my eye. Yeah.

But yeah, I think that that was like a good outcome. I guess a lot of like people actually went out like Ginzi people went out in Vogue. That's great. Your voice matters. That's, that's why we've chosen to grab these mics and really. And really drive that point out by talking about jet skis via Enema. Into my mind. I'm a via jet ski rather into an asshole feature.

Featuring. Yes. Katie Perry. Do you want to tell everyone what you learned? Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Okay. Yeah, we got some comments on the close friends thing last week. Oh, really quick, really quick aside.

If you want to join the close friend, Instagram story, because there's been a lot of confusion around that. Once you subscribe to close friends in the description of the close friends episode, there's a Google sheet that you have to fill out. So just joining, just subscribing to close friends isn't enough. You have to fill out the Google sheet as well. Sorry if that was confusing. Sorry to interrupt. No, that's good to say. Because we kind of were going Ham City on the close friend on Instagram the other day. It's so easy. We were talking about White Lotus because we said we would talk about that in the close friend story. Didn't touch it. We forgot. Completely forgot. We forgot. We forgot. Yeah. But we got a bunch of comments on the close friends, uh, close friends episode bonus content on TMGC Studios.com. TMG Studios dot TV.

Sorry, Jesus. It's okay. Um, and one of the comments was that I am, Claire said I'm once again asking Connor to learn what Barry the lead actually means. Um, I was wrong. I thought, I thought, I don't, don't even read the definition. I'm thinking Barry the lead. means like she grabbed the end of my story, the punchline,

and kind of dug a little hole and kind of put the lead there and then covered it in dirt. Well, wouldn't I be pulling it out? And showing it off. Yeah. To the people. No, it, um, I don't even know when it, I thought lead means L-E-A-D, which I don't know why. Okay. Yeah.

I'm done. Doesn't. It's, it's L-E-D-E. Barry the lead. Okay, here's the definition is fail to emphasize the most important part of a story or a out. I thought it means you took the thing and then just blew up the spot. Yeah, I agree. So you couldn't have been using it more incorrectly if you tried. Lead is L-E-D-E. So what you're trying to say is you stop skipping it, the punch, like, taking my punchline. So Barry the lead for me would mean, like, I didn't even say the punchline. Or like I didn't deliver.

Yeah. So what is L-E? What is an L-E-D-E? Sound system. Is the opening sentence are paragraph of a news article. Okay. It's too much. Okay, so I'm redefining Barry the Lead and the end is going to be L-E-A-D. Yeah. I'm reclaiming that as my own. Reclaiming and redefining. Yeah. And so I'm going to continue to say that and it is. Just know it's spelled differently. Just know it's Barry the Lead Conner's version. Barry the Lead, negative connotation. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. Stick it to the mad. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not subscribing to L-A-D-E. archaic versions of sayings, we are treading our own path. And that's all I had there.

I just wanted to share that. Thank you. I didn't know what it means. For your bravery. It's okay to admit when you're wrong. I'm cool with that. Yeah. I'm not proud.

I have no pride. Yeah. Awesome. Thanks. Thank you. Well, how was your weekend on this fine Wednesday? Good. I went to Zach Brown Band.

With TK. I don't think I know any song by them. You do. Little bit of chicken ride. Gold beer on a Friday night. A pair of jeans, it fit just right. No. And the radio won't.

Yeah, you do. Oh, that one? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think I do. That one. And then, you know, a bunch more, but I'm not going to sing it. Okay.

They did, I guess one of the guys in it, sorry, bummer. He is ALS. He just found out. So they kept having to take breaks for him. But in the. breaks. I've always said normalize breaks. Normalize breaks. Well, he does have ALS. I know. I know. Okay.

But they would play covers. I'm saying if we normalized breaks for everyone, it would be just like you wouldn't have even had to say like, oh, he did have to take breaks. It would just be a given. Right. Well, again, he has ALS. No, I know. Okay. Well, I'm standing with him, not against him. Mm-hmm. As a part of the taking breaks community,

Yeah. Okay, so no, but they had to take breaks, so they'd bring out the opener to play covers. And yes, normalized breaks, but normalize breaks, but normalize playing covers at a band's thing. I love covers. It switches up your vibe.

They did Michael Jackson. They did talking heads. They did, um, you make me feel like a natural woman. And they like, let the backup, the backup singers all got like their own song that they sang to the whole crowd. Bone chilling. It was great.

And there was like a group of songs. 16-oh, there was a group of 16-year-olds that were like mosh-pitting the whole time. They loved that Brown band so much. I would say, go see them if you have not. Even if, like, you know, one or two songs, the concert was so hot energy and fun. It was a blast.

That's so great. Yeah. I'm glad you had a good time. Thanks. And then Saturday. Do you like going to concerts where you don't know the songs? Yeah. I'm the opposite.

Have to know every song or I'm not really interested. I don't mind that because I think, Like if I go with someone that really likes it And they just need someone to go, I know you know. But then after that, went to Alexander 23 on Saturday night. There's a bunch of people there. He tours with like Chelsea Cutler a lot.

I wish I knew better. Like I wish I had better music. Not taste. I think I have fine taste, but just like exposure almost. Like I wish I would listen to new people. I just listen to the same shit over and over and over and over and over again. That's okay. Okay. Well, okay, so I went there.

Like, I was going to go to a show. He messaged me. He was like, come to the, he's playing at the will turn. The Alex 23 message you? Yeah, Alexander 23. Sure. And he said, come to the show. I said, okay, I'm not, I had no plan Saturday, which is cool. I love when that happens. And so I went, and went in.

I didn't realize it was going to be like a bunch of people were there. Tana Mojo was there. Like a bunch of our friends. Jeremy Zucker was there. I'm trying to think who else I saw. Emmy Hartman was there. Right into a bunch of people. And then one of our other friends were like,

are you at the Wiltern? We're at SG Lewis down the street. And I go, I love SG Lewis. He's a DJ. So it was like a definite vibe switch. Oh, oh my God. I saw a bunch of other people that I just remembered at that show. Do you want to?

So it's fine. But we go down to SG Lewis and we're in the crowd like kind of jumping around. It was really fun. If you saw me there, very high energy, don't say a word. I was actually like jumping around, dancing and stuff. I've been wrong with that. But ended up like knowing someone on, like behind him, it's a DJ set.

So like there's people behind the DJ. And they're like, oh, come up, whatever. We had like a group of friends with us. And we go up and, or like sitting behind and met a couple of the managers of SG Lewis and talking to them whatever. And I like had had a couple drinks. and I thought it would be so funny. You know how DJ sets how people like hold up phones and they're like they do like.

Yeah, I do that with 3090 and randomly no one plays it. Weird. Yeah. Well, I'm behind him. I'm behind the DJ. Yeah. Like VIP access. Touching his show.

And I put play Taylor Swift on my phone and I did this to the crowd, which I thought would be just the funniest thing ever. That sounds funny. I thought it was funny because I was. thinking, oh, this will be like a funny, if people share this. Also, yeah, just the photo of that. He's spinning tracks and I'm like this holding it to the grab, play Taylor Swift. Didn't land, huh? So the managers weren't pleased with how I was acting behind him.

So, so random. I got one of these. Like act like you've been here before things. And I go, yes, good idea. So I stopped. But I thought that was funny. Yeah, I think that's funny as well. Anyone got a photo of that.

I would have been. laughing. Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny. And then Sunday I went to a Lakers. Yeah, Lakers game. Oh, how was that? Oh my God. I forgot I did that. It was crazy. My friend had like, his parents had tickets and they weren't going. So he was like, do you want to go? And we were like right next to LeBron James. I think he could smell him. Cool. I think I don't know if I've ever been to a basketball game. I think I've been to like one six years game when I was in second grade.

But I think I would actually be able to enjoy that. Because that game seems pretty self-explanatory. Yeah, you gotta just get down. Get it in the hoop. Like football, it's like no matter how many times someone explained that to me. Why are you laughing? I just opened my drink and I went to drink my mic. Go ahead.

Sorry. It's just like no matter how many times somebody explains football to me, I'm not going to get it. Like it's like long division. Like, don't stop trying. Feudal. But basketball seems kind of straightforward. I'd be interested in. I don't know about basketball.

Hmm. There's four quarters. So shorter? Lots of breaks. I love breaks. But there's like shows in the, yeah, like dancing. Yeah, something I'll never do is if my seat gets picked and I have to make X amount of free throws. I'm not doing that.

What do you mean? There's like, they like pick people out of the crowd to go, we're going to give you like a free three-night stay at this place. And you just have to make these. No one makes them, but I'm just like, and then they're like, okay, well, congrats you. Get this cup and a t-shirt. And it's like, obviously you weren't going to make like 10 free throws in a row. And now you've got a cup and a t-shirt and you're going to walk through the crypto.com arena back up to your seat knowing that like, I guess it's kind of cool. That reminds me.

The confidence. My high school, my senior year decided to start a student teacher basketball game where they picked a handful of the teachers and a handful of the students. students to play basketball for the entire school so the entire school could watch. And it's just like that kind of situation. It's like, I know they're going to pick me because it's like imagine like, like, of course. They're going to pick me. Because they move forward with picking me. Yeah.

Yeah. Obviously like a really hard experience for everyone involved. I was benched randomly. So like why bench me if you're going to pick me? Like you pick me because you want to see what's going to happen. Yeah. When you put me on the field. You're benched holding up your play 30.

Yeah, why are you like, what's the point of me just sitting on the field? You know? Well, the point is that you got up and you did it. I would have baked an injury. Oh, no, that was really tough. How was your weekend? It was, I had a great weekend. Yeah?

Yeah. I went to Vegas for the first time. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah, it was awesome. I don't really know, like, it was a very last minute thing. or friend Tristan was doing a brand deal with Groupon. Ooh. And they have like,

they present, they presented him with like, like a list of 20 experiences. And they were like, are any of these experiences jumping out to you as something you'd want to do? And so Tristan said, sure, I'd be interested in an escape room in Los Angeles, bowling in Los Angeles. Or like, as a joke, he was like, and you can also send me and my friends. to Vegas. And then Groupon came back and was like, yeah, any of those are fine. And so he was like, okay, I'll go to Vegas. And they were going to be like, thinking they'd be like, no. Oh, we missed that. Yeah. And they were like, okay, here's a hotel room. So like very last minute, like he found this out Thursday. So last minute on Friday, we went to Vegas. And I had never been. And I was

nervous because I'm, you know, usually requiring to be in corner bed. latest like if I'm going out 12 midnight you know but surprise surprise I was out till 5 in the morning AM

PDT and it was because of me because I could not get myself away from the blackjack table that we were out that late and then I never went to bed that was my first all-nighter because I had four espresso martinis and trillions and snoring that kept me up However, the next 36 hours, I was unconscious once we got help.

It catches up with you. But man, do I love Vegas? That's great. Never going back ever. Had a blast, truly. Quitting while you're ahead. Yeah. I love gambling.

I lost $200. But I really didn't lose because I was playing blackjack for like four hours. So that was like I was in it for that long. Like I had won, then I lost. It's only you sat down. Right. It's not like I sat down. and lost it all the way.

Yeah. I basically played four divided by 200. No. 250. I paid 50 bucks an hour to sit at the table. What more could you want? There was a small issue. There's a lot of like creepy gross men in Vegas.

That was like the majority of the population at the casino that I was noticing. And they were. Vegas is like a nice area for. them to all get together. Yeah, it's like a, it's a convention of sorts. They deserve a space to gather. Yeah, that's just like we all do. There's no lights because they would normally hang out in an area of a club or bar where there were no lights, but the nice thing about Vegas is they just turn all the lights on. Yeah. So that those men can enjoy being vampires. It's awesome. Awesome. Happy that they have the space to do that. And all these creepy old men were coming up to

my friends. And then I obviously immediately brought to tears because the creepy old and didn't want to talk to me. And I was getting upset because I want some attention as well. Yeah. So I decided, you know what? Stop being yourself for a second. Enjoy the night. So I found myself at the blackjack table with this man, Darren, Darren.

Darren, for four hours having a blast with Darren, Darren was getting a massage from this woman. He was also losing $1,000 USD. and he had lost 2000 the previous night having a blast with Darren Then at the end Darren says let's get a picture Darren scoops me up in his arms Kind of cupping my left breast

If you will Turns out I was with my creepy old man The whole time He was right next to me and I had no idea Sometimes So it's when you stop looking You find what you want And I'm going to insert some pictures

of me and Darren here And it's when you're stop looking and that's the moral of the story. Sometimes the creepy old man is where you least expect him. At the blackjack table getting a massage. Yeah. And I would have never known until he picked me out. Wow. Yeah. And he's my phone background as well. Oh, sorry. I have so many texts and

message people wanting to get into contact with me. This is kind of me and Darren and my friends after Blackjack. Hey, Darren. I saw your story and you called him Darren on one slide and then Daryl on the next slide and then Daryl again. So I wasn't sure. I'm glad you cleared. It was a combo of genuinely kind of forgetting for a second. Big D. Dispresso Martines. But yeah, it's Darren.

Yeah. I think. I would put 90% of my chips. Okay. Of my blackjack chips. By the way, the dealers don't like it when you fuck around with them. Weird. Mm-hmm. Like, they want you to know what you're doing.

Oh, sorry, excuse me, it's my first time. I'm a Vegas version. They don't have bunny slopes. They don't know. There's no bunny slopes. You're expected to go in. Like, when you touch the chips, oh, my God. When you touch the chips and it's not a chip-touching time, like, you might as well

have killed the dealer's entire family. Like, it is an insane reaction. They don't play games. No. You know what? You're not going to catch me. You're not going to catch me sitting down at a table in Vegas. Really?

Nope. I don't like losing money. Oh. I love. of gaming. Yeah, I don't like losing money. I don't like sitting in one place for too long. I'm over at the dueling piano bar.

The dueling piano bar? Yeah, bitch. What's that? There's two pianos next to each other facing each other. They're dueling. Oh, damn. They're playing one song here, one song here,

and then one person, you know, wins the duel. Oh, very cool. It looks like this, and it's in almost, most of the casinos have a dueling piano area. I prefer this area. people are there to see the dueling pianos. They're going head to head.

It's a modern day duel. That's awesome. Via music and keys. And you can kind of suggest whatever songs you want. I can't believe you've never been to a dueling piano bar. Well, I've only been to Vegas once. Well, no, these are everywhere. Oh.

I'm sure there's one in L.A. Okay. That can be a segment. Los Angeles Dilling Piano Bar. Let's see. Oh, Ticklers. Oh, that's in New Orleans. I was going to say that sounds fun.

I don't think there is one in L.A. Tramp Stam Grannies. Do you know what Tramp Stam Grannies is? What? That's Darren Chris's piano bar. You know who Darren Chris is, right? Glee. Glee.

Can you guys pull up Darren Chris? You'll know him. Glee. Glee. You know Darren Chris? I don't know who this is. Anyway, Tramp Sam Grannies is he was like one of my biggest tier ones of all time. Oh, wow.

Which I'm sure, not surprising, looking at him. But he was also in a very Potter musical. Come on, Kahn. Rock, it's okay. I just... Damn. But that's his bar. I've actually never been,

but if I ever go and he's there, it would be like, you would be able to hear me screaming from wherever you live in the United States or abroad. You would probably be able to hear my voice. Nice. Yeah.

A very Potter musical was a powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful musical on YouTube. Oh, it's on YouTube? It's on YouTube. Well, it was when he was in college, him in his theater troupe, the University of Michigan, put on a musical of Harry Potter. And Connor, it just blew the, took the world by storm.

That's crazy to hear, like, the last. It went viral. And he was cast in glee because of a very Potter musical. It's crazy to hear, even, you know, sometimes when you're not looking for the last thing you'd ever do, you find it. Wow. And it would be me watching that on YouTube.

That is an incredible thing to be able to be sitting here with you today as two completely different species. That's great. I actually, it's a dichotomy of sorts. You can't find another one like it. No. And you know who else you can't find another one like? Who?

That crazy bitch that lives on my, wherever she lives. Oh! And screams at people when she runs. And boy, oh boy, do I have an update for you, Brooke. Yeah. Someone de-end us and said, oh, I know this woman. She yelled at me today.

And we have a video that got sinned. of this girl filming this woman. The woman, if you don't remember, this woman, like, runs in my neighborhood and just tells people to fuck themselves and tells people that, like, she's going to kill them, but not actually kill them. Actually, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. That's the other guy who said, I'll get to that after this, too.

Okay, perfect. Anyways, she's just yelling obscenities, kind of, all the time. But there's a lot to be said. Anyway, she's a video clip of her. By the way, she's a fucking athlete. She is fast. She is crazy. And she doesn't stop.

Okay, here she is. Fat girl. So she did move forward with calling the girl who filmed this. Yes. Fat girl. Is she talking to the girl who's filming or a third part? I think like it kind of seems like she gets one saying in her head and that's for that block it is that saying.

For my block it was gay boy. Yeah. For this girl's block, apparently it was fat girl. I'm so curious. That's like a very BuzzFeed quiz. Like, what would this lady call you? I'm very curious. Are you a fat girl?

Are you gay boy? Or are you? Completely something new. A third different option. I'd like to be in her presence. I'd like to have her here. Yeah. I don't think.

I think that would be. I think she would beat the shit out of you. Oh, thank God we don't have HR. Yeah, I'm getting the feeling she would beat the shit out of you. Hey, I would not fight back. I could see her scratching too. She seems like a scratcher. I'm really glad we have this video because sometimes your stories, I'm like,

Okay, there's no, there's no way. You're telling the truth. That really is validating for you. I also wanted to say the other day, I'm getting a lot of endearing people that want me dead recently. And one of them is this guy right next to this place where I got a smoothie bowl this weekend.

And he's sitting there on the bench, and I kind of walk by, he's staring at me, and I can feel him staring at me because he's making it very, he's like got his neck out, kind of. And I was like, did my white person, like, kind of smirk and nod. it's what you do in grocery stores when you're in the same aisle as somebody.

Yeah. And I did that to him and he goes, I could kill you if I wanted to. And it was weird because I was having a thought about like, wow, it is a gorgeous day. I'm so lucky to be out here. I'm like, luck, I'm thankful to be here. And then he goes, I could kill you if I wanted to. I'm like, well, thank God you don't want to today because I was just thinking how awesome the day is. So I was actually kind of thankful he said it because I took a step back and I go,

huh, I'm so thankful that you don't want to kill me today because I know that you can kill me if you wanted to. Like I said, that is crazy to think like someone could kill you if they want to at any point. He kind of put things in perspective. I was like, you could if you wanted to. Then thank you for making that not today. So I kind of had my ass evil and I kind of had a new lease on life after he said that he could kill me in cold blood with his hair hands. you know so it was kind of a it was a good way to go into the rest of my Saturday just with a new perspective yeah wow yeah sometimes sometimes it takes um a direct threat on your life in broad daylight

to make you totally take a deep breath well I'm happier you're here and yeah speaking of being alive yeah I want to tell you about my doctor's appointment yeah well yeah well this is kind of like a long it's been a long time coming because I think it was like two months ago at this point. I, like, and I think I talked about it on here, but, like, really, really convinced myself that I was, like, terminal, like, dying, because I had a bump in my armpit.

And I was like, that's, like, that's the telltale sign of death. And it went away. Yeah. But even though it went away, like, I, like, still, like, had this, like, I'm, like, life is, like, slipping through my fingers, which is, and I was really, like, depressed and upset, which is awesome, by the way, because I didn't know that, like, I had that much of a will to live.

So I'm very excited to know that like I care about my life in that in that capacity. So that's an exciting thing to learn about yourself. But I was just like really like depressed. And like to my therapist, I was like I'm dying. I feel like I'm sick like something's wrong. Like I'm so like I'm tired. Like I have no energy. And she's like, okay like you're depressed.

You're not dying. And I was like no. Like I really, really am dying. And I was like so like the past two months. I've just been like so low energy and depressed because I've convinced myself I was dying. So I went to the doctor. Finally, after making the appointment with the initial armpit bump, they were able. They said, we can get you in in February.

And I said, I'll probably be dead by then. Is there anything you can do for me earlier? So they were able to get me in two months from then. So finally, that was last week, went, got my blood drawn. Turns out nothing life threatening. Yeah. Like not. Yeah, I'm not gonna die.

Good. Which is amazing. And immediately a switch like flipped. It turns out it was all in my head. Yeah. Like I feel completely fine now. Whereas this time last week, I would have like I was, eyes were closing, exhausted, feeling sickly. And now I feel like I could run the New York City Marathon.

That is so scary how much control your brain has. Oh, everything's mental. It just like goes back to the placebo. It goes back to placebo. You could have a positive placebo? So scary. You have a negative placebo? Like that is truly like I'm scared of how much power my brain has.

But anyway, when I was getting my blood taken, 50-50 chance if I'm going to pass out when that happens. And TW, if you're squeamish with blood, I'm going to tell you about getting my blood taken. There's a T at EBS. Blood. The doctor was like, do you faint? And I was like, yeah, sometimes. So she laid me down. And you know how?

I don't know if you faint at all. But you know how doctors, they try to distract you by talking to you? Like, while they're inserting the needle and drilling your blood. And they've met their match because you were like, I have a podcast. I know what you're doing. No, not. Yeah. I know what they're doing.

And it's, they're most of the time. It's like when they're trying to give a baby. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same kind of thing. So she like pulls my, pulls my arm up. Pulls my sleeve up. And I have this, you know, I have my tattoo.

And she goes, oh. you have a tattoo. That's lovely. She's trying to stick the needle. I'm like, not wanting to talk at all. I just would rather do this in complete silence on my own

through deep breathing techniques. She goes, wow, my sister-in-law has a tattoo on her back, but she got infected and then it kind of scabbed over. And then after the scabbing, it was like pussing a little. I'm like, are you absolutely kidding me?

Right now. Sticking this needle in this. this part of my arm, the arm armpit, that's what's so sensitive to me. It's like thin. Like that's what's going to make me nauseous. And then she goes, oh, shoot, you're vein rolled. The second she said vein rolled, I'm unconscious. You passed out.

Immediately. Like I was laying down so I didn't faint, but like out of consciousness completely upon vein rolling after she was talking about the pus and the scabbing of her sister-in-law's tattoo on her back. So she was able to get me apple juice just in time for trying again on. on this arm, which did not have a tattoo. And I said, I think I just would rather do some silent deep breathing for this one. And then I was able to pull through. And then now my blood results, I love looking at those.

Like I would do a whole podcast just like reading you my blood results. I'm sure you wouldn't be super interested. But like, how cool is that that they can like measure? I've never done it. You've never gotten your blood drawn? Oh my God. It's so cool to like see your cholesterol. and like all those other things that happen in your body.

Your glucose level. Mine would come back and be like, you're an empath. I think that that kind of thing would like change my perspective too. You know what's crazy having high cholesterol as a 26 year old woman. I think it's pretty easy to have high cholesterol based on like the foods and whatever, yeah, genetic but also like the foods that are easily like just like in front of us. Yeah. Mine's genetic and she also said I could get I could do 200 hours of.

exercise a week to lower that if I want. And I said, oh. Is there 200 hours? Pass. Like, that's an insane amount of exercise. There isn't 200 hours in a week. Or was she exaggerating? Or were you exaggerating?

Minutes. Sorry. No, that's okay. But that's so, that's more than two hours. No, that's about two hours. No, 60 plus 60. That's about three hours. Yeah.

That's insane. When you think about the fact that, like, a good exercise routine is like, I do 30 minutes. like three or four times a week is what I aim for. That's not even 200 hours minutes. Like she's being ridiculous. Sorry, that's not, that's like a triathlon person. No.

Yeah. Okay. You're like, they say like you're supposed to get like 30 minutes a day. What's 30 minutes times five? I think the 30 minute thing was like the Michelle Obama era of like, please stand up. just in at some point because when you think about 30 12 30 30

12 3 30 which is like a powerful exercise which by the way I've been doing that wrong you're not supposed to hold on no wonder I could do it like over one second yesterday I almost I look forward to though then now you can see progress

yeah that is going to be cool yeah that is going to be cool and like the strength yeah of is it core muscles that those work the 3 304 leg 40 30 20 I call it 30 90 3060 90. 3090 due to the hit song 3090. Yeah, I've heard about that a couple of months today.

Andrew Garfield on Tick, Boom. Soundtrack. But that's like, if you think about doing 30, 90, four times a week, that's not even as many minutes as the doctor told me to do. And that's great. That's a great workout. Okay. Well, I mean, whatever your head, whatever you're stuck up. I'm just saying that's ridiculous to recommend 200 minutes for my cholesterol.

By the way, if anyone has high cholesterol. I would recommend you not do 200 minutes of working out. Don't go to her doctor. No. Just like don't tell me what I don't want to hear. At the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. Yeah. Yeah.

Like I'm paying you in Blue Cross Blue Shield, California to tell me what I want to hear. And that wasn't it. You know? You have nothing to say. You think I should work out 200 minutes? No, I'm just not going to argue with a doctor. I don't want to give you I'm not in a place to give anyone advice

medically. That is actually insane that I come out of the doctor and she didn't know what she was talking about because she's telling me what I don't want to hear. That's like an insane personality trait that I have and I don't want to fix it. Let's talk about the lottery. Okay. Wait, I had, there's other things on the notes app

that are good. Do you want to go right to the lottery? Well, we talked about so much random shit. Oh, okay. We got to talk about some stuff that has has transpired. I think like something pertinent, like obviously that Elon must think, I have such like an interesting thing and I hope no one's already said it. It's okay if somebody else has said it because they haven't said exactly what you're going to say.

We both get so annoyed when someone has a thought that is almost verbatim from this podcast. By the way, we have eyes on you. The worst is when we say we record like a few days in advance before our podcast goes out. And then in the time that we're waiting for the podcast to go out, somebody, publishes a podcast that says the same thing. We've already said, but hasn't been released. There's been people that take full-blown, like verbatim, a sentence we've done and made a skit around it.

And I'm like, we follow you on everything. And we see that you follow us. Anywho, okay. What is that saying? Flattery is the term. No, no, no, no. About like comedians. Good comedians.

No, it's artists. Good artists. Good artist. Copy, great artists, steal. Yeah. So we follow a bunch of great artists, apparently. Yeah. But if I'm stealing from someone now, this is unintentional.

But Elon Musk is banning people for impersonating him only six days after making comedy legal. Oh, yeah. I saw he did that to Sarah Silverman. Yeah. Kathy Griffin, who's, I think she's annoying, but Griffith. Is she the one that got like full canceled for the beheading Trump? Yes, it is.

I got confused between her and a lot of other. Reba. Griffiths. Oh, Reba McIntar. Yeah. Yeah, she got on her deceased mom's Twitter account, which is still active. Yeah, no, of course she did. Hashtagged Free Kathy from the bounds of being in Twitter jail, which is, we've all been there.

But I just think this is funny because once again, Elon is climbing the ranks on my loser list, which is a list I have in my phone, which I'm not going to ever read out loud because I think a lot of people would be very offended. Who's number one? Let me look. Oh, Tom Brady is number one right now. Really? Yeah, but there's a lot... You know, I cannot say Elon's name. Like, it takes me a minute to think about it

because I want to say like Alana. Alon. Ellen. Ellen. Why is he above Elon? Um, he recently climbed up there. Because of his lip kissing? No, no.

Oh my God, no. He's just like becoming... I don't know. It's hard to explain, but it's like a gut thing for me. there's some people that don't even get to be on the list. Ellen doesn't get to grace the loser list because she's so far gone. Yeah. There's a lot of people walking a fine line.

One of them you're really not going to like. I can't even say it. Is it Harry? Connor. I'm sorry. Like that's... That's why I'm not going to share it out loud. What?

It's one thing not to like him, which makes no sense. But to put him on your loser list? It's not on the loser list. He's walking a fine line. That's the name of his album. Then he's gracing the tear up his list. No, it's not. Is it?

Um, I don't know. Anyways, Elon Musk is now banning people who are impersonating him. So, like, people, you have to explicitly say, like, this is a parody account if you're going to make fun of someone, which is funny because that was, like, his whole thing against the, like, whatever free speech. And you know what it reminded me of? What? Remember when Neville Butt.

I Carly because the domain went up for sale. And they'll rue the day. And they'll rue the day. Yeah. And like he was just this big like loser that didn't have any friends. Well, he just wanted a kiss. Who could blame this? Do you think that Elon is following his never pap.

Neville Paperman's foot set? Elon Musk just wants a kiss from Hengreen. What do you mean by that? I mean you just wants a kiss from Hank Green probably. Guys, I randomly have to pee my pants. Hold on. It's just a break. Normalized breaks. I'm coming back.

We're not going to bonus up yet. No problem. Okay, one sec. Do you want to, like, lead them through? I feel like that's your thing. Lead them through, like, a meditation or something. Wait, did you have any... Did you, come on. Don't you want to... I don't want to tell any of the stories. Of course, you would want to be here for those. What stories?

I don't know. But of course, you would want to be here for anything I say. Yeah. Let me look at my... Why don't you intro rotisserie chicken man? No, I want to do that with you. Okay, just like we can just take a break. Let me see if I've got anything for you guys. I'm really bad at guided meditations. I would give myself the ick if I did that. But I do want to know, I guess when Connor comes back, we can,

he wrote it in our shared notes app, is it bad that I drunkenly asked a friend that's a doctor to do a physical on my balls to check that lump? Oh, and they did it. Okay. Interesting. I'm really looking forward to hearing about that when he comes back. What else do we have in here?

Connor just wrote hibernation in all. all caps. Okay, perfect. He also just wrote Mindy. So that's interesting. He also wrote sneezing. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Homeless man tried to kill me.

We've heard about that. Mommies who microdose. I'm not sure what he means by that. This is the, oh yeah, we do want to get to the rotisserie chicken man. That is something we will be covering that in this episode. I feel strongly about that. I think I've talked about blood etiquette when getting blood taken. That's really, that's really.

Oh, also I saw this thing on TikTok that I haven't tried yet, but I really want to. Where instead of using in the morning, instead of using an ice roller, freeze a cucumber because that gives you the benefits of an ice roller. And also the vitamins or whatever, the nutrients, the benefits of the cucumber. So it's like, that's awesome. I would like to try that. I have a cucumber in my fridge. What else have I seen on TikTok this week?

Let's check it out. Wow, I used to think I could never do a solo podcast. But I'm actually having a blast right now. Oh, my God. I, for the first time, listened to the 1975 yesterday. I knew who they were before because of just like being in my Tumblr era. you know you hear the name Maddie Healy but I had never done a deep dive and let me just say I think I'm kind of embarrassed that it's taken me so long so I'm not really going public with that information but I think something bad is happening to me you're not going public with information you just read to our I mean public on my like social platforms you have to watch the pod to find out I went full solo while you were gone wait what are you talking just like talking to myself okay did we have any more things on Elon and like the Twitter the way that it's, oh, yes, I did.

Well, he got in a fight with Hank Green. I'm so sorry to rewind like this. I know he got in a fight with Hank Green, but they came out this morning saying that the blue checks, while they will be available to all for a fee of $8 a month, they're now introducing an official badge that will go under your blue check for people that currently have blue checks. For a...

An extra fee? No. Free of charge? No. This is the original purpose of the blue check. was to, so you knew. So now there's two verified checks, one that shows next to your profile and applies, retweets, whatever.

It means you're a Twitter blue subscribe, but the other official one only shows up on certain. So like, does that make sense? So if we're verified on Twitter now, do we get that official mark? No, not all, not all like public figures will get it, but like any, uh, please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months. We will keep. He is. Elon said, please note Twitter will be doing lots of dumb things or something.

No, Elon did say that. It sucks so bad because I'm seeing, he's like the boss. It's like, I'm the cool boss. But he's actually just like fucking everything up. Like it's really cringy to watch. That's why he's on the loser list. Damn. Yeah.

You really want to put Harry Stiles on the same list as this man? I didn't know. He's not on the same list. But he said he's walking up in line. You're considering? I don't want him to be on the loser list. You. Tom Brady?

I mean, Elon deserves to be on his own loser list, but he's just, he's, oh, wait, update just now. They removed the official thing. Oh, perfect. Oh, and Elon responded, I just killed it. Okay. I'm just like, this is why I just don't even engage, because it's like, just when it happens,

that's when I'll believe anything. It's nice to just take a little back to you. Yeah, I don't need to be knowing one thing's going to happen. No, it's not, blah, blah, blah, blah. Just, you know, GWTF. Go with the flow. Negative connotation, though.

Yeah. I do want to talk about the rotisserie chicken guy. Oh, I love him. I love him. The thing is, I'm not showing, okay, introduce who he is and what? Well, basically, there's this guy who's been eating a rotisserie chicken

every day for about 40 days now, and he kind of came to be known because he was posting flyers in Philly. He's from Philly. and someone posted the flyer on Twitter. I was like, come watch me eat a rotissory chicken for the 40th consecutive day of eating a whole rotissary chicken.

And P.S., this is not a party. And he ate this rotissory chicken in like an abandoned lot, Walmart lot in Philly. And so on a pier. And so many people showed up. And so obviously I'm head over heels in love with this man because he looks like Andrew Garfield. There's rotissory chicken involved.

That's like the perfect storm for me. And so I set my hinge location to that abandoned pier in Philly just to kind of see if I could find him at all. No luck. I did ask Twitter if he was single. Someone said he's married, but I think they were fucking with me. Well, I think that there's probably

a lot. He's probably the most eligible bachelor in Philadelphia right now. Yeah, you could say that again. Man. He is a Sempleary man. You know that I've had this thing with rotisserie chickens for the longest time. Yeah. Well, everyone loves rotisserie chicken. I know, but my experience with rotisserie chicken is

unique. That is like that is a powerful image. This is someone running for Congress. Yeah, he's like, he's leading a movement. But he's not. Like he's, he is, he's what the people need. This is someone who should have disciples. Yeah, he's like, I'll say it. Look at him. Speaking to his disciples. Look at it. That is literally like a picture full, fully Jesus. Yeah. And he's eating, he's eating supper and everyone's watching him turn

a rotissory chicken into an eaten rotissary chicken for the 40th day. And you know what? Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, no eating. This man spent 40 days and 40 nights in Philadelphia eating a rotissory chicken. I wonder if it was plain. The similarities are striking. Uncanny. Between the Bible and rotissory chicken man.

What's his name? Alex. What, that's a perfect name. Look at him. He looks like Andrew Garfield. Can we blow up that image? that's like insane Can you pull up a picture of Andrew Garfield

I don't know if Connor knows what he looks like I do pull up Andrew Garfield with beard if at all possible anyways and then kind of put them side by side because it's glaring I believe you because I do know what Andrew Garfield looks like Look at that

Can you click on the third image Are you not seeing an exact replica almost No but that's what's cool is that the human experience That is Connor Oh my God sorry Um, yeah, I'm seeing a beard and a man with a beard. It's, it is identical. Wow.

Two men with beards. That look the same. Okay. Crazy. The human experience is so individual and it's, that's the cool part about it. Sure, but this is feeling objective to me. Okay. Uh, yeah.

Anything else you want to talk about? Yeah. Before we head over to the bone. Yeah. I want to talk. I want to go to science corner real quick. Hell yeah. Before we let people.

No, that's perfect. Um, guys, I have a, I have a science. Corner experience today for us all to chat about. This is, oh my God, this is what I want to end on because I'm sure I'm going to smell a gas leak, like halfway through talking about this, but I'm willing to go there for this because Science Corner was supposed to be the art of hibernation today, but that was such low-hanging fruit for me because I love hibernation and I'm not going to get into it. All I know about hibernation really is the episode of SpongeBob where Sandy hibernate. Yep. How about you? That's where I learned about it.

I watched like one of those planet earth things on hibernation. But I'll talk about, let's do Science Corner hibernation next week. Okay. This week we have to talk about the fact that there was, okay, hang on. There was recently a Nobel Peace Prize awarded,

which I don't think many people keep up with anymore because, like there's more fun things to pay attention to. Oh, this is the physics Nobel Peace Prize, so no one pays attention to this. How many are there? This is like, just like the VMAs of awards, I feel like. Oh, that's a good way to put it.

No one really, no one really pays the injury. But basically, this girl comes out to me at this event like two weeks ago and is like, we're having drinks. Like no one, you know, a couple drinks, whatever. And she's really excited. She's like trying to find someone. I watched her kind of try to find someone to talk about. I heard her say quantum, like several times, quantum, quantum.

And I'm like, that is like in one ear out the other for me. Yeah. And I'm like, oh no, oh no. I'm like on her roster of people that she's going to try to corner and to talk about quantum, quantum, quantum. Now it doesn't even feel like a real word. And I let her tell me this. And it did give me a panic attack and I got up and walked away. But it was interesting.

And I heard her say to her friend, do you think it was something I said? And little did she know. It was actually something that she said that made me go full spiral mode. But basically, there was a physics Nobel Peace Prize award. given to someone that made a discovery, a new discovery in quantum physics. And we have, I'm going to read through this thing and then explain how she explained it to me. But, um, okay, wait, can I read the, can I read the, can I read the, this is an article that we pulled up. I want to read the header, the title. It says, the universe is not locally real and the physics

Nobel Peace Prize winners proved it. Elegant experiments with entangled light have laid bare a profound mystery at the heart of reality. This is going to freak you guys out. Okay? Yeah. Didn't understand what a look at the way. Okay. So basically like the we live in a simulation people are like kind of right. And the way she explained it to me while we're sitting at this party is that saying that says if a tree falls in the woods and there's no one around to hear it does it actually make a noise.

Yes. They prove that it does not. There's no way they could prove that. Reality is based in consciousness. And if there's no one there to experience. that it doesn't exist. Okay. Okay, wait.

Let's see if I explain that correctly. No, it sounded, those words sounded right. And it's freaking you out? No, it's just like that's wrong. Can we scroll down to how they explained it? Let's see. So basically they said one of the more unsettling discoveries in the past half a century is that the universe is not locally real, quote.

Real meaning that objects have definite properties and independent observation and Apple can be read even when no one is looking. This is where we get to the tree thing. local means objects can only be influenced by their surroundings and that any influence cannot travel faster than light. So investigations at the frontiers of quantum physics have found that these things cannot both be true. So instead the evidence shows objects are not influenced

solely by their surroundings and they may also lack definite properties prior to measurement. So Albert Einstein said to a friend, do you really believe the moon is not there when you are not looking? at it, which is just like... No, it's there. That's the whole point. You can't, that's what...

You can't know. You can't know that one? You know that one? No, I don't. Can someone look up Schrodinger's cat? Strodinger's. Sorry. You don't know him, though.

I know his cat. You just said you didn't. I don't know him. I know his cat. It's like, okay, wait, what's the... I gotta put my glasses on for this. This is quantum mechanics, though, so you might not be as familiar

with it as you are. No, I'm more of a physics guy. The paradox of quantum super, it's also quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, uh, that in the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead as a result of its fate being linked to random subatomic event that may or may not occur. I don't get it.

So I don't get it, but I used to get it before I read that. Basically, there's a cat in a box and before you open the box, the cat is alive and dead. Because both possibilities. exists. Maybe. Should I call my dad? He used to explain it to me. Sure.

Call your dad and have him explain to you. Shrodinger's cat. Okay. I'm going to keep reading about this quantum thing really quick while we're on it and you call your dad. Can we go back to that thing? Can we get like this for dummies thing? Like this is of course deeply contrary to our everyday experiences.

The demise of local realism has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Yeah, because it's scary. No one wants to be scared. We just want to like go to Trader Joe's and watch love on the spectrum. I don't know. This happened to me when I was in jail. No, he's not going to answer.

But I think I was right about it being alive and dead at the same time. Because both possibilities exist when you don't open the box. Yeah. But not if you can hear the cat meowing. It's definitely alive. Dad? Yeah, what's up, bro? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm working. What's that? Oh, I have you on the pod. that okay? I have a question. Sure. Can you explain Schrodinger's cat? I think Schrodinger's cat was a cat they put in a box, and I think the concept was if you didn't look at him, you wouldn't stay alive, but if you looked at him, you'd be dead. If it's something like quantum mechanics, that if you observe a state of something, it determines

what that state is, but unless you look at it, it's not determined. Why would he die when you look at him? I don't know the physics behind it. The quantum physics of it all? Yeah. I think, tell me if this sounds right, he can be dead and alive before you open the box. He is both dead and alive before you open the box because both possibilities exist. And then you kill him when you open the box.

Yeah, something like that. I don't remember. I don't remember, but it's one of those. I remember you were telling me about that when I tried to write my young adult novel. Remember that? Of course not Oh You remember you got

Yes you remember my black mirror idea And you got me a recorder For Hanukkah Because because I was going to become an author Like two years ago Two years ago How about like six years ago? No that was right before I got a TikTok

When I Okay whatever We don't have to get into that All right Okay bye love you Bye I'm so worried about him Because he asked for my better

help code. Guys, this episode is brought to you by BetterHelp, B and C MAP, $20. or shoot, just listen to me a hat. So that did not make it any more clear. No, so I'm understanding it's like quantum physics, stuff like that. Oh my God. This could not be more perfect. Hank Green explaining Trojanger's cat.

Let's play it. I love him. Should we do it in close friends? Oh, damn, yeah. We could dive into this in close friends. Okay. This is going to be easier to do. Oh, okay.

Oh. Okay. So now we have Hank Green explained. what I just tried to explain, which we should have just done first, because I'm sure he's just busting a nut over the fact that the universe is... Can I get best something? Yeah. Like, as much as I love Hank and John,

sometimes I get more confused once they start talking because they're so smart that it's actually like, I don't understand. I don't even know any of the words that just came out of your mouth. Well, let's see. Let's see. This is a tough one, so let's see if he can do it. And I want to try to explain it to you without lying. If a tree falls in a forest,

That's not Hank. Oh, wait. No, that one... That one could have worked, actually, because I bet that guy was going to dumb it down. It's not available. Can we do that one more time? The Nobel Prize in Physics got announced today,

and I want to try to explain it to you without lying... If a tree falls in a forest, no one's around. Does it make a sound? Is the moon really there if we're not looking at it? Albert. Does the simple action? of observation, influence or change the outcome.

One card out of 78 different possibilities. All of these are different. Any of these can pop out. I'm going to focus on that one. I'm just going to observe the magician. I'm going to tell my heart into the present moment. Was that a magic trick? I don't know.

I kind of just made it about himself and his magic. I think we had. That's why you just have to start with hang. Okay. Well, you know what? I'm over. it. Okay.

Someone got a peace prize. They proved that they basically, they proved the fact that the moon is not there if no one's looking at it. Slash, an apple would not have, be read if no one's looking at it. Slash, if a tree falls in the forest or no one's there to hear it, it would not make a sound. Because. Life is about perception. No, it exists.

Yeah. It's not real if no one's there. Like, it's not being. Let's be done. Let's go into the bonus. Let's tie a bow on this. In the bonus, we will continue. you. Yeah. If you guys...

This discussion. I also do want to revisit my young adult novel because I know that existed and that felt really invalidating. So I know I have a Google Doc about my young adult novel. Well, let's dive into that as well. And we have to talk about White Lotus. Yeah, white lotus. Okay. Um, thank you guys. Okay, we'll see you. If anyone knows any more about that, that would be helpful for Science Corner. And we're going to talk about a hypernation in Science Corner next week. Yes, I can't wait. I can't either. Okay, bye. Bye. Smoo-ish. See ya

This week I'm close friends Hank Green is wrong I don't think No no no no no He's never He's literally never been wrong I don't want to play

Just start playing I don't want to play Just start playing I'm not playing You're being stubborn I can't play because I think that you're wrong God damn You're pissing me
