I just bought a Jewish Talmud. So we can dive into that. Brooke thinks that there's some crossover. So we're going to get the bottom of that.

We share the First Testament. The Old Testament. Yeah. I don't know. Do you know? Did we share the First Testament? I think so. Yeah, I'm paused.

The initial test is similar. That's the only thing I remember from Christian school when I was good. I think there's crossover. Yeah. Yeah. Marvel, D.C. I think then when Jesus came. I think then it splits.

Well, this is a conversation for a different day, I guess. We could ask Jack. Are we rolling? Hey, guys. Hey, Brooke. Hi, Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee.

Ignorance is bliss. I'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome. Oh, I thought I was responsible for 9-11 when I was five. Where were you? In Pennsylvania. Touch grass. Might I say. We're just going to dive right in today.

It's us. Brooke and Connor. We were just having an enlightening discussion about religion, and then you guys shut up. Welcome back to B&CMAP. We're so stoked to be back today. Right? You could say that.

I think I speak for both of us when I say we're stoked to be back. Truly. And the most exciting part of us being back today is that we're not alone. We have a super exciting guest joining us today. and please give it up for Jack Wright.

So you're just going to walk through the door? He's going to go through that door? Yes, Jack. Hey! We're so excited to have you. Oh my gosh, you're so sweet. I know. It's been so long.

Connor has something he wants to say to you. Tell me like his hair. Oh, I love your hair. Wait, hang on. Let me get a full 360. Oh, wait, sorry. Do I have to talk into the mic? Because it is a podcast, it's pretty dependent on sound.

I totally forgot. No worry. It's hard for me to do that as well. No, it's hard to hold it up. It's almost impossible, but let me see that hair. Oh, damn. What would you call that? It's like a little soft mullet.

I think I had a mullet at one point in my life as well, but it did not look as good. You should get another one as it looks on you. I don't think it's the style for me, but it is the style for you. Oh, thank you. And I love it. Thank you so much. Not many people can do that. I feel like you would have an Australian accent with that haircut.

Oh, right. But I just need like the little stash, you know. Man. Yeah. I shaved mine this morning. Really? I was having a little bit of an identity crisis this week. That's okay.

So, and like, you know, my roommate was like, maybe grow out the mustache this week. And I was like, it's grown out. Your stint's like glowing right now. Thank you. Yeah. That's awesome. Did you also get a haircut? I got a haircut as well.

Yeah Yeah identity crisis So I was gonna I was gonna tell this story So I go to get this haircut Because it was getting like a little bit Helmety

You know when you I don't know if your hair gets like this But when I shower it gets like if I fell Down a flight of stairs My hair gets so thick That I would be fine Like kind of growing out It grows out instead of down

Yeah So I go in And I go to this place The same place for the last couple Haircuts And I sit down with this woman and I go I want to like get it thinned out

I don't want to cut any length off and she goes puts the scissors down I go this bitch is about to you know it's about to be everybody's problem that she went to whatever haircut and she goes so here's the deal I was like there's no way this is real

there's no such thing as thinning your hair out and I go I have said that exact sentence every time I've gotten haircut forward my whole life since I've been going by myself so there is away. Yeah. That's possible.

And she goes, no, it's actually just, like, spreading out the density of your hair. Okay. So,

but when you do that, blah, blah, so anyways, she's talking my head off. And it's funny because the time before, this time being there, I had a woman who,

the, the barbershop is, like, backed up to a pretty busy street, and it has, like, garage door-style windows. They go floor to ceiling. And I was talking,

I was actually not talking to the first woman. She was completely silent. I go, I'm going to break the ice. what I said next was not something that is something to say to someone that's going to be standing over your head for the next half hour. With the paris. I go, you ever think about a car just barreling through that huge window? And she was like, no.

And then it was quiet the whole rest of the time until I checked out. And finally, this woman who is talking my ear off telling me she loves Reddit and stuff. Wait, there's another woman? This is the new woman. The first woman was the one that didn't talk. I'm going to tell this woman last time I was here I was like it's refreshing to have someone that's talking so much because last time I was here the woman did not talk

and I go well you want to know what I told the woman last last time so I could break the ice and I told her that story and she goes puts the scissors down again that's an intrusive thought I go no shit yeah I know and she goes I have intrusive thoughts all the time and I go that's what kind yeah join the club she goes this is brutal what I'm about to say so just heads up she goes sometimes I think about if someone like broke in here like maybe I would just like stab myself with the scissors to distract them to throw them off but then I'm like I don't

want to stab myself in front of customers so maybe I would stab myself in the bathroom and then come out all bloody and I'm like I think that this is a good length how this is now I think I can go now I can go home and so that was my experience and it was an hour long haircut because she went through every Reddit thread that she's a part of which is a large People like that should be on a watch list and shouldn't be around Blades. Do you think she's been on the BNCMAP Reddit thread? She does not have social media.

Oh, right. And I said, I don't either. Just in case she were to download after I left. Right. That's so cute, though, that she wanted to relate with you. She did want to relate with me. And I'm pretty good at being a chameleon and being like, that's so funny.

That you were going to off yourself in front of all the customers as a distraction so that I don't even know what the end goal that was. I mean, it's called being prepared. Yeah. I always think about that, but I think I would just play dead. She also told me when she was a child,

I just remember this, that she asked her mom watching a murder mystery movie, why the murderer would kill someone they know instead of someone they don't know when she was eight. Right. Immediately.

She was able to watch list. Watch list. We need to be watch listing so many. more people than we are. Jack, the special thing about this podcast is we always get comments when you have guests on

saying, why don't you guys let the guests talk? Well, it's our podcast, so that's why. No, I love listening. You're so funny. I love, like, this little interaction.

You're so funny. And we love you. And speaking of you, by the way, what's up? How are you? Pretty good. Good? Yes.

I mean... Awesome. Thank you. How are you? I'm doing fine. Yeah. Thank you. Nice.

Yeah. Yeah, I first met you guys at the, was it the AMAs. The AMAs. Yeah, that was really fun. That was really fun. Do you have fun? So much fun. I still have your name tag. Really? Yeah. It's in my purse.

Yeah. Can you keep it forever? And I will. Okay, good. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, that was like, I had a lot of fun with you guys. That was a blast with you. We lucked out and we sat like right next to each other. But you've been all over the place. We got, that was our one thing we got invited to. And that was awesome. Thank you to whoever runs the invites over there. Loved it.

I would love to go to another thing if at all possible this year. No worries if not though. Jack's been at every one of we could even tag along

behind Jack. Here's a question for you were you actually at the Met Gala? No. Okay that was confusing. Wait, what did you see? He had a TikTok or was it an Instagram or a TikTok?

It was both. I did it on my story too. A full photo of him there that I guess now was Photoshop's but I couldn't tell in the moment. like it looked like he was at the mecgala and I would have believed it because you're super

well you're a star oh thank you oh my god stop and you're super into fashion right yes I love fashion but no I yeah my friend link photoshopped the photo on Bella Ramsey's um oh so that wasn't even your body can I get a visual I'm not I'm not able to relate to this conversation at all

I haven't been on TikTok in like a couple months let's see it is the one two three It's the one with like the My Like half of my face Yeah that one Can't believe this dream has finally I'm true

Thanks y'all for everything This is officially my first Met Gallo My caption too Yeah Like tell me that's not Oh that's Bella Hamsey I did see this

I really thought that was you Jack I could just like honestly see you wearing this Today I really like the film Maybe we can get them To send you one

And me one as well actually Right Do you guys have connects with like Bella Ramsey? At this time, not really. I'm sure because you just spoke about it, something's going to happen this week. We have the weirdest thing. We have the weirdest thing in this space

where we will say something even adjacent to something absolutely bizarre and it happens every single damn time. So if you have anything that you want to speak into existence. Yeah. Can like manifest something. Yeah. No, it's...

Thank you. It's powerful. Do you have anything? You can think about it too. because I think I did something pretty intense recently. Can you tell me? Yeah. I'm not saying I'm solely responsible,

but I think I manifested Taylor Swift and Maddie Healy getting together. Okay, let's buckle up for the comments on this one. I said word for word right after she broke up with Joe. Yeah. That I think Taylor Swift is going to start dating Maddie Healy. In this space, I said it. And then what do you know? What happened, Jack?

He got together. They got together. Yeah. Wait, that's scary. Let's play the clip. Roll the clip. You need to be careful what you said. And you really need to be careful.

Man, this was like recently. The Taylor, the Taylor that I know, was taken aback and needed some rest after that breakup to gather herself. Okay. So you're thinking it was way before the tour started? I don't think, maybe not way before, but I do think it was before. And I think that she has been in a relationship for a minute. For a hotman. I've heard theories that she's going to start dating.

Maddie Healy? No. Bo Burnham. No. Like somebody in that group. Paul, mescal. No.

Like I've heard, like, people saying she's going to gravitate. I could see her doing something where she's photographs with people. Is that all I said? Wait. I thought I was more adamant than that. But still, I mean, I said it. That was weird. That was weird.

Yeah. I guess only stuff Brooke says happens. Yeah. That's not true. You've manifested tons of things. Like what? I don't actually know off the top of my head, but I feel like you have. Like a panic attack?

Yeah. Or throwing up. I'm like, I'm about to throw up. And then sure enough, 10 minutes later, I thought. Right. Well, you can try today as well. But, yeah, so I did maybe talk that into existence a little bit. Good luck in that fighting for your life.

Yeah. Well, I'm throwing myself. I'm a big, um, 1975. Maddie Healy fan. So it was like a little bit of a tough nut. Yeah. To swallow. Gotcha.

And I did get word that they were together a few weeks before it became public. Well, I'm sorry. What? Oh, I'm sorry that. That's okay. Yeah. No, totally fine. I had that time to kind of process away from, you know, the headline of it.

And it was like your fault. Yeah. Yeah. Totally my fault. And then I like posted an Instagram story once the headline came out. And I was like, I've known for a few weeks from a friend, like, had time to process, like, nothing else to say. The Taylor Swift community, like, came for my life because I think that they thought that I was close personal friends with either Taylor or Maddie and was, like, revealing some sort of, like, secret that they had entrusted in me. So now I'm wearing my Swifty necklace because I'm full sending, like, I'm supporting this couple with my whole life because they could tell you make it.

you know and I love them so I love that well Maddie Healy's mom follows you on Instagram yes and for what what I don't know what reason and how did she get there I don't know she's my most prized possession they start digging and they're like wait they called her by her first name Denise Denise why is Denise following Brooke Averick

who the fuck is Brooke Averick every now that's and it begs the question who the fuck is Brooke Averick once you see Denise is involved yeah so I've got nothing but positive things to say truly wait you made it Yeah, you made it. I said in like a really bizarre backwards way, you kind of ended up being Maddie Healy's ex. People did think that, which was super. You like reverse engineered having dated him in the past.

Yeah. That's what everyone believed. Yeah. But anyway, love. I forgot. Love it. I love it. I love it.

So Jack. So, yeah, sorry. Jack. Our guest on the podcast today. Pull vaulting. Pull vaulting. Tell us about it. So I used to pull vault in high school.

And you almost went to the Junior Olympics for Polarvaulting. I did go to the Junior Olympics. Now shut up. Yes. Thank you. How old are you? I want to really quickly say about the Junior Olympics. Okay. He needs to say something.

No worries. If I step foot at the Junior Olympics, I would have a shirt that says, I've been to the Junior Olympics. So I can't imagine being a contestant in that space. That would be my whole thing. I think you'd do it. No. I can't even catch a ball if you threw it to me. Is that you?

No way. yes Jack walk us through I guess like how you found pole vaulting what exactly pole vaulting is what you're kind of doing there how it all works from yeah for someone that pretend someone has no idea got you like what pole vaulting it's such an interesting sport I still don't know like like what it is and like why I did it um but I started doing it because like it was kind of like the perfect sport for me because I'm like I love like you know like the daredevil type stuff I love like the adrenaline rush and like this is the perfect sport to get all that out um yeah do what should we watch the video yeah let's watch this video I need to see the dynamics

of this whole thing I just keep picturing Brooke getting to the highest point of the pole and then her body flying into space I was just about to ask are there a lot of pole vaulting related injuries yes like flying yeah like flying and leaving have you you had one of those definitely what happened or like the the pull of snapped before yeah oh my god and I land on my neck and then um there's been many times where like I went backwards instead of forwards what happened when you landed on your neck um I like tweaked it but I was fine but you could have like really broken oh definitely yeah wow but it's like it's really not I don't know I really didn't get like that bad of injuries at all from good from it but it was like very

fun. Yeah, I was saying yesterday, I don't understand how we, I'm not discrediting pole vaulting. I'm just confused how we came to find it. No, I totally, especially as an Olympic sport. And then I said, well, you wouldn't really need to ever use a pole to get over something really high. And then I was like, wait, you wouldn't need to kick a ball back and forth. You would never need to play soccer. Yeah. Or basketball. Now, then you, when you put it in that, frame it as that, this is a utility sport. Yeah. If you ever needed to jump over or onto a roof and you didn't have a lot of, ladder there's a pole over there I think it was like to

it was like to get to different I think it was like rice paddy or like you know how like they they jump over like rivers to like get to like different look at them so it's evolution based we are always talking about evolution in this space

definitely it was like I was meant to do this yeah this is make watch the video of Jack yeah evolution based sport Whoa. Cheese. Very good, Jack.

That's awesome. Now, at my school, pole vaulting, or high school, pull vaulting was part of track. Is that, like, typical? Yes.

Why? Because you run the... It's like an event. It's like a high jump or long jump or triple jump and then there's pole vault. But pole vault is like it's like its own community, you know?

And all, Polvalters are very... I love Pull vaulters, but, like, I think all of us were just very odd, you know? So is it kind of like if you do theater, like you have the cast and you have stage crew? Yeah, and there's... Or Polvalters kind of like stage crew? It's like the Polvalch kids, you know? Polval kids, you know?

Pull vault kids. Yeah. Like, stay away from the pool of kids. Totally. Yeah. Wow. No, but they're... Yeah, very, very odd, but, like, I think, I don't know, I loved, like, the pull vault kids. They're always, like, very my type of people.

Do, are there pull vaulting. I'd love to dive into that further. Are there pole vaulting adults? There are. The regular Olympics. Okay. I didn't know if it was just a junior sport. The adult ties Olympics has pole vaulting, right?

So? Let's see who my first caller is today. Who's it going to be? Don't recognize the number, but it's not spam. I don't want to because I've been kind of ghosting a lot of people recently. Okay. Oh, and you don't have a lot of numbers saved so that could be someone that you've ghosted. And it's someone from Anaheim, which is.

Oh. around nearby could be dangerous yeah okay i'll check in about 10 seconds when it goes to voicemail voicemail hey sorry i missed your call i was waiting for my phone to stop bringing yeah got you do you have like do you have anxiety from like answering text and call because i have like very bad anxiety from like answering people for some reason yes 100% yeah i don't know why like very very from not answering people or from answering people no it's like uh like saying the right thing to people or like answering a call and it's like I don't like I'm not going to answer it right now because I don't know what to say I don't know yeah it's like I very very I overthink like everything so I've like

people always think that like I don't want to respond to them but I'm just like I have anxiety like talking to people on the phone I don't know why yeah so does she really I can't make an appointment yeah and like recently I can't even like if like DoorDash calls I can't answer. Really? Yeah. I don't know why. And I know I just need to be like,

leave it at the door. Yeah. And I know that's all I need to say. Yeah. But for whatever reason, that is like crossing the, like, biggest, it's like a pole vaulting hurdle. Yeah.

I can't. I can't pull vault over it. Yeah. You can't. I really can't. Thank you. I don't know what it is. And me neither.

Sorry. Also, like, answering text, too. Yes. It is a new thing for me. I think, specifically since, being online. I don't know why that's amplified it. Yeah, I don't know why it's,

it's so weird. Like, I want to answer them and then I just, I never do. It feels very overwhelming for some reason. On my birthday last year, I got like a bunch of texts for like happy birthday and I was like, I'm not gonna respond.

Uh-huh. And then those built up and I still have 300 unread texts and they just like kept coming. Also, if I like sleep in and I have a bunch of texts and then I start texting people the next day, those just get pushed back

and I'll just have this in list. Now I have this inless amount of unread text and I'll never scroll down to see what they are. I mean either. It's too late. Yes. They need to go away as alerts at some point. They need to disappear as unread.

I totally agree. It's like, I mean, if you go down and answer one of them, it's like it's so late. Like that's just like, it's done. That's worse if you answer like a yearly. There's a statute of limitations around a responding to a text. I agree.

They should. But also follow up. No, I was going to say. They should disappear because when that person follows up, like I don't want to see the text that I never answered. So they should disappear after a month or so. When you respond, you ever have people that have texted you a couple times?

And it was never urgent. It was just like, hey, what are you up to this week? And then for whatever reason that day, you're busy, whatever. And then you need something. Oh, my God, I never saw this. I'm the worst. I never pressed sin. Can I borrow your car moving?

100. It's like the worst experience in the world. You know what? This friendship's actually over. I'll rent a U-Haul this weekend. Yeah. And that's why you can answer text. Yeah.

You should really just... It's not hard. Here's my favorite thing that you told me one day. Okay. You don't want to do it. Can't do it with a smile? Do it with a frown. Uh-huh.

Do it with a scowl. Well, you know who said that, who I love. Yeah. Dutch from TikTok. He has changed my life multiple times, but that was the biggest thing he did when he was like, I know you don't want to do it, but you have to.

So you don't have to smile. Do it with a frown. And I was like, oh my God, Dutch, I will. And then I did my laundry. Okay. I wasn't happy about it, but I did it. All thanks to Dutch. It's a great, yeah.

I've been so, I've been off, like the past week, two weeks. at least, like probably a month, actually, now I'm thinking about it. And I was, like, so vulnerable two days ago that I opened my oatmeal, and there was like a saying on the inside. Action excels.

Hmm, never mind. Exedes, maybe? No, hang on. I can get it. I can get it. I can get there. It's a person in an M. Motivation.

Action speak louder than words? Something like that. That's so true. And I was like, whoa. You ever so vulnerable that you open a snapple and it changes your life that lid? Like I know for a fact at some point in history someone has been in a space where they're like, damn, this is rock bottom. And then they open a snap and they're like, wait, I'm going to invent Microsoft.

Right. That's a good point, Connor. There's probably been a situation like that. And that's what it's meant for. It's not meant for someone that's like on antidepressants and killing it. It's meant for someone that's like, oof. I needed that today. I needed the top of that.

It was actually mush, which I'm really into. I'm going through like a mush oatmeal phase. I feel like we all need those like mush oatmeal phases though. I'm so big. I'm like, why? You know dove chocolates? They have the same thing, that little motivational thing. We should be writing that everywhere.

They should have them on all napkins. Napkins. Yeah. Oh, I love a good cocktail. Uh-huh. Or a coaster. Something fun on it. Yeah.

Okay, business idea, free idea. Motivational quote. Motivational everythings. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm on board. And even like on tags of clothing. Like anywhere you can put it, give me a little pep talk.

Yeah. Can't hurt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think we could all use it. Jack, okay. Back to our guest, Jack, that we have in the studio today on our podcast as a guest. You had a, you were a child actor, right?

Yes. Well, I guess you're still like compared to us a child. Are you 20? Yes. Wait, how old are you guys? Too old? Like, I could be your mother. For the first time in my life, I'm like getting freaked out about how old I am. Wait, do you care if I... I'm 26.

That is not old. But I'm going to be 27 next month and that's what's getting me. There feels like, I don't know why 26 to 27 is feeling like... Also, you look so amazing for 26. I'm totally kidding. I mean, that is... Yeah. I'm kidding.

Yeah, you did it. You went there. Yeah, totally. Yes, totally. I've heard that. Yeah. No, awesome. That's good.

I've been hearing that. I love it. Yeah. I don't know why 26 and 27 is feeling like the jump from like 39 to 40. I'll tell you why. Because if you go, if you go shoplift when you're 20, eh, he's a kid. Yeah. If I shoplift now, jail.

Yeah. Why are you stealing? Right. Why are you stealing? And I can't be like, I didn't want to wait in the line. I'm just. starving right you know now it's like you gotta go to jail now you're you're functioning a lot happens from 20 years old even 21 to 25 right a lot happens yeah i also am just feeling like

i don't know if it has to do with the way the number looks specifically it's sharp like it's sharp the seven is intense yeah sharp points lines yeah it's rigid yeah it's rounded and smooth brooke it's rigid yes it's rigid yeah and i don't know if it's that or what i'm just like feeling sick Wait, when is 27. Like, when's my birthday? Yeah. June 18th. Okay, awesome.

Yeah. I'm a Gemini. What are you? I'm an Aries. That's good, I think. Oh, I think so. Gemini's, like, supposed to be bad. You're awful as well.

Leo? I'm a Virgo. Yeah, that's, Virgo guys are the worst. But my birthday is on September 11th, so it cancels out. Surely that makes sense. Yeah, of course. It's all my moonheads out there. That'll make sense.

Pausing for another quick ad. Anyways, you're a child. actor. You were a child actor? Currently and before. How was the... I guess I'm acting now. And you're acting now.

I mean, looking at our docket here. We were... I wanted to ask about child acting because right now it's like a hot topic because child acting is pretty weird if you think about it. Because it's child labor. It's the same as going to Chick-fil-A

and working the cashier. It's like... Except... Also, I didn't like choose to do it. Yeah. You know. But... My parents took us out of it because it was so toxic.

Really? What? Do you remember any of it? Yeah. I do remember some of it. But like this is a really broad question. But like, what was it? What was it like?

I loved it. Like, I really enjoyed it. But there was like, like, at auditions, there was things my, like, my parents wouldn't tell me to, like, not make us, like, feel bad. Because, like, it's just very toxic. It's, like, very, like, um yes or no like uh if they don't want you like they'll they'll just be very blunt and honest and um i remember one audition uh the three uh two of my brothers um we all went into

audition together and i was the only one that didn't get it but i didn't like i didn't really know at the time um and my mom was just like oh no it's it's okay like you'll you'll get the next one But like, looking back, I was like, wait, I didn't get the audition. Like, I was like, I totally messed up on it. Well, at least like, look at you now vibes. Yeah, you made it. Oh, thank you guys. That's actually reminding me of when I didn't get, make it into the camp slide show.

And I was devastated sobbing. And my counselor told me it was because I was too pretty. And it would make everyone upset. Well, you didn't look a day over. You didn't look so good for eight years old. And I said, oh, you. You know what? Yeah, that makes them...

Don't take that out of context, please. Begging, begging, begging. What's funny, you know, I was almost a child actor. Really? Yeah, I got approached them all by a stranger. That's what happened to us. Yeah, and they said, you have the look. And I said, Mom, we're unfortunately going to have to drive for four hours to a Hilton

Garden Inn to their banquet room. And I had a monologue. and I got picked and then they said you're gonna be giving a $6,000 now to continue my parents said oh it's a scam

but I mean a stranger approached me in a mall I should have found out but that could have been we don't know what that could have been and why did they choose you so you made it too yeah I had the look is what they said

you do and you still do I think but that's very so you're acting now still acting now yes I just heard doing auditions again and I'm really enjoying it. I love it.

Are they in person now? Like the audition? Yeah. Or is it still self-tape? It's all self-tapes, which I think they'll keep doing that. Really? Which I like the self-tapes because you can like do it as many times if you want. But yeah.

I think I feel like in person that would make me like really nervous. Me too. Like what if you mess up? You just say I messed up, sorry and start over. Hey, sorry. Can I try again? That would do that 18 times. Me too.

I agree. Do you think that having... Oh, look at you! Yeah, I was looking at this... You're a sensational actor. This stunning image. Dancer and athlete, don't I know it? I feel...

Who's become a social media phenomenon. That's... Do you think that having followers helps you get auditions and stuff? Do you think it like sways... Get you in the room? It must, at least a little bit. Not saying that your skill isn't...

Definitely. Which, I don't want that. Yeah. Like, yeah, I don't want that because, but also when people, when like, casting directors look at the auditions, they don't, they don't look at the person. Yeah, you know, like they see. If they're, if they're. If you have the look. But I'm sure, like, for callbacks, like, I feel like it could affect if, like, they were due to, like, research on the person. But also, like, I, like, I want to be, like, I've been doing, like, classes for a while. So I want to be, like, a good enough actor to really. Like that doesn't matter. Like the followers, it doesn't matter. That's just like a plus benefit. That's like when I book these comedy shows and I'm like,

I know for a fact, because I started doing like stand-up this year, I know for a fact I booked it because of a follower thing. And I'm like, I go in these rooms with these people that have been doing it for 10 years or whatever. And I know that they want to, they want to hit me with a car. Like, I just know that because I'm just like in the room because of the follower thing.

I know. I know. Poor baby. I know. Life is super hard. I want to go. You should. You should come.

I have one next week. Actually, that's not going to be a great one to go to, I don't think, because I'm hosting. I'm not. I'm not performing. Well, you'll let, Jack. Yeah, I'll let you know. Okay, thank you. What would be your, like, dream kind of role?

Hmm. For me, for example, dead body on criminal minds. Thanks for, thanks for asking. Oh, my gosh. Like, would you rather be, like, a kissing booth kind of thing? Or like, call me by your name, like a serious. I love calling me by name. I think that would be, call me by your name, Goodwill Hunting.

You want to do serious, bro. You want to do like intense. Yeah, but also I love comedy too. But I love like heavy drama. Wow. You know, I like getting in my field. Yeah. You would be so good at that.

Thank you. You would like to be in kind of like a kissing booth kind of film, right? Yeah, I think cheesier for me. Yeah. I think I can do the cheesy thing, really. I could nail that. Or the comedy thing. I couldn't be in a serious movie at this difficult time.

I think you're better than you think you are. No, because I would laugh. I had to do this one audition. And this sucks to say out loud, but, and for people that don't know that if you're listening, basically when you get an audition right now, during COVID, they started doing self-tape, so you film everything at home, you memorize the lines, you read with someone at home. And it's like just a horizontal video of you that you send blindly. You don't see reactions.

You either hear back or you don't. I had this one that was like 10 pages. You said Goodwill Hunting. It was for something like that. So it was like a more serious role. And I had to cry in one scene, which I did. I cried. And then directly after that, I had to do a rap.

And by the way, the character, 23-year-old white dude, I'm like, you're setting me up for fucking failure. I was like, I'm being punked. The context was like, he wrote a song, but it was like a rap and he was, I don't even know if the movie made it to production. Based on that, I assume it didn't. But I did that and I sent it off. And I'm like, that sucks that people are going to watch me cry and get through my lines with my lip quivering.

And then immediately go, uh, once was it? I feel like Lynn Manuel Miranda. And I'm like sitting there. and it got sent in and whatever. Like two months go by and someone comes up to me who's not on my team, who's not even at the same agency, and it's like, I saw your audition for the thing. What?

How? And they're like, well, when you put it in the pool, like the bucket, like people can just, it's like a public thing that you want because they all submit clients for the same roles. So I didn't audition for about three months on anything else because I was like, I don't want anyone to see anymore these things. okay now I've got a pit in my stomach thinking about my one my one self tape kind of floating out there I have done one okay and I like thought it was a sure thing because I had like just gotten signed and my agents were like oh they asked for you and I thought that meant that I got it and that this was a formality and it was the Goldbergs that show about like the just like a family in Philadelphia Philadelphia, like Jewish.

And I was like, that makes complete tense as that is my biography. And I had to sing in the audition, but badly. She's good. She has a good voice. And not really, but it was like brutal and it was like long. It was, what was a tiny dancer, Elton John? It was. But it was like, it was made up lyrics.

Very similar situation to me. Because you were giving that as a gift to someone and it was really bad. I was reading, I think. And it was like a lot. It was like a lot, like a minute of singing. And to think that that exists and it's floating out there. And it's in someone's hands is a tough, tough nut. Yeah, some of them are so awkward.

Yeah. So awkward. I have like, I have an audition where it's like there's no talking in it. It was just like, it was for like a horror movie. So I just like, I'd just like. Oh, you'd be good in a horror movie. Thank you. I can picture you with blood all over.

Thank you. I think you would die first though Yeah I agree Like the dumb blonde that dies first No you're just like the goofy Like I'm gonna go look in the closet On the spot scene one I'm really seeing you in Bodies Bodies bodies bodies

Oh my gosh That'd be cool Continue sorry Sorry You had an audition and it was a horror Oh yes I had an audition and it was a horror movie There's no talking All I had to do was just like

Get like the jumps here's like and just like look through the door and like see like what's there the the the light turns on and then like I had to freak out very very like awkward you know yeah how do you even yeah when I like watch you back I'm like what sorry oh you're good no worries at all jack I've gotten three phone calls since we've been sitting here so you're totally fine sometimes they're interesting today they've been sketchy someone called me that I have not spoken to in three years just now oh The business opportunity? Or?

Yeah. A new, a new person. Random. Okay. Here's a question, Jack. Have you auditioned for any projects that you were like super close to getting and then didn't and are now out and you're like, damn, that could have been me? Um, uh, the, is the, the screen movie?

Like, before. Not the, not the recent one, but the one right before. It was like the, the, the, the blonde. kid I think someone else played it but yeah that was like a movie I was like oh damn yeah that would have been oh scream four

was scream five oh was Lucy Hale in it this one had Lucy Haleen it this phone needs to stop that would have been so cool oh Jack Quaid was just on someone's podcast oh podcast but outside they had Jack Quaid oh awesome

I don't I can't read Roman numeral so that's just going to be up in the air. Why is, where are they all numbers except the one is IV? Where are you seeing that? The I think the letter five. I mean the number, if you will. Right there on the screen. Yeah, I see it now.

Were you in, oh, so it wasn't ScreamVI that you were supposed to be? I don't really know. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. That's why I never know what Super Bowl is. The one with, it's like, it's a recent one, but like no one really liked the movie. Oh.

Oh, you dodged a bullet. For the best. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

One time I had this audition and I was like, oh, it's mine for fact. Like I got this again formality. Who did they cast for it? Michael Sarah. Michael Sarah. You know what's crazy, Connor? And I was going to say something. Why did they even have me audition?

That was like very early on like the first time I ever like spoke to you. I was helping you with that audition. Stinging nettles. Yeah. And you were wearing this shirt. Yeah. I've had this shirt. since eighth grade.

Which is scary that I remember that. How'd you as me? I've had this shirt. We met online. Like a dating app? Yeah, on Tinder. Wait, really? No.

Thanks for fun. And this will be a great place for us to think a sponsor today's ad, Tinder. We met on TikTok. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And the rest has been kind of history. Yeah.

It's always just been like best friends. Totally. Mm-hmm. Totally. Yeah. Wait, I, yes. You guys are best friends. Sure.

Yeah. Of course. Yeah, totally. Of course. Of course. Yeah. Or you guys like. Yeah.

Touch and hold hands like this. Wait, I don't, actually I don't know. Are you as? No, we are. You're dating. No. No. We are.

I feel like I've had this conversation. I always get super uncomfortable when like the term best friend is brought up. But you, I would, You're one of my best friend. Yeah, diddo. Yeah. Yeah. Jack, do you want, do you want this podcast?

Do you want to lead the rest of the... I'm sweating. Jack's clearly. We've made Jack uncomfortable now. No, we haven't. No, it's fine. He didn't know what to say. Oh, let's keep moving, you guys.

What do you say? You were on American Ninja Warrior. Oh, American Ninja Warrior. With James, your twin and you're a twin. Have you just met James? No, but I love James. He's awesome. And you probably love him too.

I do love him. You got that right. Best friends or closer? Yeah. Yeah. We're like this. Totally. Yeah.

Have you always been like that? We've always been like that, you know? I don't know. We've had like our little periods of like fighting. Right. We've always been like very close. Also he's like one of those people that like we don't have to talk to be like super close. You know?

Like I'll see him. Well, you have twin. twin power. Yeah. Do you feel like you have that? Let's talk about that. I think so. Yeah.

Because you guys are about to be the biggest anomaly known to me, which is not only blonde adult men, which you see very rarely, but blonde adult male twins. And are you a natural blonde? I am. Wow. I mean, this is my natural color. Wow. Yeah.

No, that's blonde if I've ever seen it. Thank you. Wow. He really is what we've been kind of speaking about this whole line. I always talk about it. Every time I see like a blonde adult man. in public, I take a picture. Snap.

Yeah, because it's rare. I don't know why. I feel like I don't see very many. No, not to mention I have never, I don't think I've ever met a pair of, like, adult male twins. Yeah. That just, that have their own things going on. Many adult male twins go into business together.

Yeah. Like, fairty. Yeah. Or the property brothers. The twins that made Outer Bang. Or the Oppenheim. The twins that made Outer Bang. Yeah.

Didn't even know that was a thing Yeah What's his name? Jonah Pate Mm-hmm And he has a twin And they went into business together Yeah

I think you either need to fight to the death Or start a business together Mm-hmm I agree Or absorb the other one in the womb And just like knock it, nip it in the bud Well you and James really are the anomaly Because he's off at school, right?

Yeah, he's at Stanford Yeah, wow Oh wow Very smart Holy smoke Very smart I have an older brother at Yale You have an older brother

Whoa Yeah I'm like You have really really strong genes. Thank you. Yeah. Just like in terms of like intelligence and. Gotcha.

And just like talent and stuff. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. I'm not at college right now, but. There's no need. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. I mean, if you want. I might as well not. I was just saying there's, I'm not getting any use out of my early childhood degree. What did you guys go to college? Yeah. What college did you guys go to?

I went to BU, Boston University. Oh, nice. Yeah. Hated it. Okay. Yeah. Well, if you're interested in going, I'd love to have. Well, I probably won't go now.

Okay. Yeah. I wouldn't if I were you, but. Okay. No, I would never, I would not even consider it. No. How's you? You've got more experience with what you're doing now than anyone in college could, like, go to school for.

Unless you wanted to do computer science or something. Right. But like from a business perspective. I think, I think traveling has made me learn so much just from, like, like, I don't know, like from like everything, just like how to be independent, like learning about different cultures. I think traveling has felt like like college to me, you know. You know what?

Every single time someone says that or every, it makes sense to me. Right. Eat, pray, love vibes. It's like going to see a documentary movie. It's like I come out of there, like shift my brains shifted. Every time I get back from from a trip, especially abroad, I'm fighting for my life not to bring it up every time I have a conversation. Well, you know.

Italy when we order a coffee we actually sit to drink it and we don't want there's no such thing as to go coffee sit and enjoy it life is so short enjoy the

it's kind of like shut up vibes but like I get the I was like I was giving no no no when you said you were like I learned so much from traveling it's like a lot of people would scoff at that like when I don't travel for a while I'm like yeah yeah okay

yeah who was that in Eprey love it wasn't Reese Woother's Poon was it No, it's Julia Roberts. I'm like, all right, Julia Roberts. But it makes sense to me. It totally does. Every time I get back from a trip, it's like, I have like six months of like, I'm just such a better person.

Yeah. I'm understanding. Yeah. I want to dance like no one's watching. What's been your most meaningful trip? I think recently to India. Oh, wow. That was very cool.

It was like really, really cool. Like I love the culture. I love the food. Food. The people were so sweet. Yeah, it was awesome. That's awesome. What did you, like, what did you go for just to visit?

It was like, uh, they, they called it like the, the new Met Gala of like India. It was like the India Met Gala, which was like really cool, you know? Wow. So like everyone had, there's like the, the textiles, like, it was beautiful outfits, you know? Yeah, I was watching this very closely because this is just like something so far over my head, cool, cool wise. And look at you. Jack. Look at you.

Stunnen. Oh, thank you. Wow. Thanks guys. Oh, incredible. I need to travel more. There's just not enough. You travel every day.

I need to study abroad is what I mean. That's why I think we should just all stay in like college terms for the rest of our lives because that's what I meant. I didn't even mean to say that. I agree. No, I like that. I want to like take a semester off. Yeah. I need the study abroad.

I also need the college terms. I don't have that in my life. Right. Yeah, I would love to. Semester. Yeah. Borg. Yeah, okay.

It's like a poisonous drink. Yeah. Okay. It's all over. What is it? It's a huge gallon, right? Yeah. It's riot juice, I think, is what another term.

And it's in it? Can we look up what's in a Borg? Half water. You put in half alcohol. Half alcohol. And cooling. So I used to do this in college. We had this big event where we drive to Dallas from Austin.

So it was like three and a half hours on this bus. And we all have our like personal drinks. And I would get a job. and I would put like a fifth of whatever in it, vodka or something, and then I would fill the rest of it with water, and I would put emergency, two packs of emergency and Mio. So I'm like, I'm getting electrolytes. I'm getting vitamin D, vitamin C, whatever the orange one is,

and then I'm getting kind of sloshed a little bit on this bus. It was awesome because I was feeling healthy at that time. Borg is short for blackout rage gallon. Oh, perfect. which I said riot juice and I think that kind of goes parallel yeah oh my god I was spot on

I don't understand how like technically I have the same body as other people because like if I had one sip of that I would be in the ICU right Well Borg is not for everyone just college is not for everyone

that's so true yeah yeah well I think I would have liked another college don't borg yourself up about it yeah that's a good okay I won't myself. That being said, we should do a Borg episode.

That is where I put my foot down. I agree. I cannot Borg. Well, don't Borg it till you try it. I'm borging it. I'm sorry. Borg or no borg. We could do this all day.

Should we get into some Popper? We could borg this thing to death. Okay. Let's go ahead and get into some pop culture. Okay. Do you ever have some of your coffee? Oh my God.

Of course. I have such horrible news for you. Well, we can get you your own cup. Really? Yeah, we can pick a little pause and get you. I would actually love to pee. I would love to pee. Well, I'm going to make one.

Oh, thank you. Hold still. I feel like I didn't make my statement on Taylor and Maddie clear enough. You did, you nailed it. You kept it straight to the point, too. Okay. Which, like, is shocking because I was expecting you to dig a new hole next to your other one. And you did.

Okay. I was like, I was like, all right, this is going to be this week. Did I say that I love Taylor Swift? Yeah, and you said I'm wearing my Swifty thing because I'm supporting the relationship wholeheartedly. They say fake it so you make it? Yeah. Oh, awesome. I got all my major points.

Oh, I'm not in the mic. Sorry. Was that good, though? Could we keep that? Could you hear it? Yeah. Oh, awesome. Just reiterating those points.

Gonna have a sip of my drink now. What's your drink? So my drink is... Borg? It's... I'm trying really hard to eat during the day instead of like just gorging myself at night. So starting with this apple ginger juice with chia seeds.

Okay. Chea seeds are very good for digestion. Right. Yeah, I need help. Awesome. Taking a sit. Oh, we're all... We could jump back in whenever.

Okay. What do we got? What do we got? Jack, what up here? interests you the most. Did we have any like nuanced things that I'm cool with whatever. I don't, I'm very bad of deciding.

Okay. Well, I can talk about, um, do you like Ed Sheeran? I think it's good, like very good music. Yeah. It seems like a nice guy. I'm gonna tell me about that chia seed on my lip.

Not, not Jack. Yeah, not Jack. Um, we, yeah, so we just recently come out as being Ed Sheeran, this is an Ed Sheeran safe. space, which means that we... I feel like that might have been a tough not to swallow for the listeners.

We support. We support Ed, and he has some great music. And when we said Ed Sheeran safe space, some people thought we meant like, this is a space free of any Ed Sheeran speak. And that's not true. What we meant was this is a place where people who like Ed Shearin are safe to be themselves. So speaking of Ed Shearin.

Awesome. He like gave, I don't know if it was a surprise concert or if it was planned. or what? Did you see this in West Hollywood, Jack? Did you see, like, videos of it at all? Uh, no. He was just, like, playing on top of one of these double-decker buses, which, by the way, I really want to do.

Oh. So he was right, like, off of Melrose. And while this was happening, and I had no idea this was happening, I was at the farmer's market on Melrose Place by Alfred, if you guys know where that is. And I was having the most amazing time listening to Ed Singh, which I thought was through. through the speakers.

Yeah. Of just like kind of like live coffee house Ed music. Just came right by you. This is awesome because like as I've just stated, love Ed Sheeran. This is in keeping with the theme of the week. Turns out I was listening to this live concert and I had no idea. God works in mysterious ways. That is crazy.

That's why I love L.A. Because you just never know when you're out of concert. Who are you listening to you right now? This is our Gen Z expert. Give us some trends in music and et cetera. I don't really, I mean. And not to put you on the spot. No, no, no, you're good.

But we are depending on you for this answer. More like, like, like, beach house, cigarettes. You like that, right? Yeah. Do you like, Nice. Yeah. Okay, huge foot.

Maybe. That's a pole Walter's foot if I've ever seen. I'm, I'm going to, like, look it up right now. I'll tell you. What have I been listening? I've been listening to a lot of Tom, yes, recently. Yeah. And it's weird because I went on a run last night

I had like the best run of my entire entire life was not tired It's because I think it's because instead of listening Like rap where I get like really hyped up To stuff that I can't relate to at all I was listening like Tom Mish where he was just like And I'm sitting at home by the fire relaxing I'm like yeah I can relate to that

I've heard like like slower music like actually makes you happier It's like opposite. Yeah it is because I'm like trying to memorize all of Ice Spice's lyrics And it like fires me up but a big way, but then when I go to, like, do anything, it's like, I'm off a little bit. Yeah. My pH balance is a little off when I listen to Ice Spice. I can't explain that.

I have to now work out to the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack or bust. Keeping consistent. Yeah. Which, by the way, sorry, Jack, while you pull it. Oh, no, we're using. Are you ready? Johnson. No, I'm, Jack Johnson.

Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I said. Steven Sanchez. You said Tom. Dorele. Who did you say? Who else? Dreamgirl, Stephen Sanchez.

I'll look for more. I love all these indie... The growlers. All these indie rock, like, kind of soft, beach house artists just sound like you put a bunch of words into a bucket and shook it up. And you were like, the sand rats. Refrigerated. Those refrigerator words that people just... You're moving around.

The frights. Yeah. Drowning Seagulls. And they have like the best songs you've ever heard. What was it going to say? What were we talking about right before this? I don't know. Sorry, I cut you guys off.

No, no, no. Oh, it was going to be something. At Sheeran? No. Concert. You never know when you're at a concert in L.A. That's what I love about L.A. There was something else.

There was something else. It's okay. Do you guys know what we were just talking about? My juice? No, no, no. You know what? It's totally fine. Let's keep the ball rolling because I could have gone on the team.

Oh, because you were interested in it. Yeah, you're both talking about it. Oh, music? No, no, no. It was like Wild Jack was pulling up his songs. This is what happens, but this is what happens with us, by the way. We just go off and there's no catching us. I know what's interesting about ADHD.

What? I think I have it, like late onset or something, or I think I've maybe had it this whole time and it's just been so eclipsed by all the other issues I have that we haven't caught it. you know it might be amplified by my severe ADHD as well right you might be the same way I have osmosis IBS my stomach issues yeah you're I didn't I didn't even think that was possible I had no stomach issues too too do you yeah yeah that's what makes a podcast with points that

we have to hit really tough because all the sudden we think of like how crazy fingers are and then that's the rest of the podcast. It's talking about evolution that we know nothing about. How often do you actually go on TikTok and scroll? I know this. I'm not on TikTok. Like, I'll only go on TikTok just like, just for like, I sometimes go on TikTok just like, I'll scroll and be like, oh, shoot, I'm on this too much.

Like I'm, I catch myself, but I'll be on it just like for ideas, you know. But so you're not like a scroll before bed? I try not to. Just because, I don't know, I noticed like I'll get caught on it too long. No, totally. I fell asleep with my phone in my hand last night and by the grace of God woke up at like 6 a.m. with 1%. That's so scary. Can you imagine?

No. I was going to say I got a bedside table finally because I keep waking up with my charger wrapped around my neck like a baby in the womb and the umbilical cord. Yeah. I'm shocked both of us are up today. Me too. did you watch jury duty yeah great show some of the best tv we've been meeting to talk about it for the past two weeks

that is some of the best tv i've seen since like o gs andl with like Tina fay Amy polar I totally will feral 100% almost like every every actor and it was like amazing

by the way if you can go through and rewatch it again if you're able to stay off your phone which I was not the first time around and if you rewatch and watch and watch everybody else, everybody's individual face. You could watch it as many times as there are actors. I love, like, watching things multiple times through the lens, through different lenses. Yeah.

So, like, at first you're watching through the lens of Ronald. Hold on. I'm going to watch a second time through the lens of James. Ronald, by the way, before you even keep moving, I was on something the other day. And Ryan Reynolds, via Mint Mobile, has hired him on to be his, like, next spokesperson, which is so funny because he's not a good act. when there's lines. Ronald?

Ronald's not a good actor. I don't think it even matters. No, but it's bad. It's like, it's like super bad. We could play the whole thing. I think Ryan Reynolds is teetering on loser list, like for me. Really?

Yeah, just because it's so, he gives me 3D printed energy. Okay. If that, like the whole, his whole thing. Yeah. I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. We can play it. He also looks like Stuart Little to me. We can, we can play it.

And then we can... It's hard to believe that in a time of crazy inflation, Mint is still just $15 a month. Can you believe that, Ronald? No. This doesn't seem real. Well, it is. Premium wireless. $15 month.

What's your problem? Are there hidden cameras? The camera's right there. It's massive. I have some major trust issues. I've been through some shit, man. I've got you. You can trust me.

I mean, like, they could have maybe hired a creative team or something. He doesn't need to be a good actor. No, I thought it was awesome. I thought it was really smart. I thought it was really timely. Personally, love it. He's probably getting paid so much for that. And he, as he deserves it.

I hope so. And he deserves it. Yeah. So that'd be good. I don't think people watch it. And they're like, oh, he's a bad actor. Right. I was weird seeing him.

That's the first time I've seen him outside of an event. Yeah. Outside of jury duty. And now he's on this Mint Mobile thing. I don't know, man. I have trust issues. I don't think I'd ever Could they get him a better haircut as well

I'm so sorry He's like no I'm gonna say it We're both haircut advocate Like maybe we get in touch I think it's endearing Yeah You know because he's not swept up in the I'm obviously projecting because he's a better person I am

Right he's not swept up in the Four feet taller than me The shallowness of Hollywood and such It will be give it time I hope he doesn't But I've never been alive to witness someone so universally loved. Yeah.

Like, no one could possibly say a bad word about Ronald. Mm-hmm. And, yeah. I mean, like, I did twice on accident. Sorry. What could you have to say? Bad actor, bad actor, bad hair. Oh, that's not about his character.

No. Like, imagine being, like, a bad person on that show. Like, what would you? I think I would be. No. If I'm miced up, especially if you're on jerky. It's going to be all bleeps. You just don't want to be.

there like yeah this man was such a good guy well i think also they were probably gonna they were more likely to get a good guy because you had to like actively sign up for the documentary like he found that through craigslist or something oh i guess i missed that part he found like oh we're making a documentary about jury duty on craigslist so he actively signed up for that they were like able to kind of audition him kind of yeah james marzin Like this could be, this is the thing that's going to be his legacy, I feel like. I think so too. It's obviously not Sonic.

But you know what? That got me on a James Marsden kick and I went back and watched it enchanted, which is before your time. Have you seen that? No, I haven't. Really one of the best. I would encourage everyone. No, I have seen Enchanted. To go back and watch that.

Is that the... It's the one where they're cartoons and then they come into the real world. So good. So incredible. And I'm looking forward to seeing the second one that just. came out. You know, is this the one that they came out of the manhole, too? Because when they were in the cartoon, growing up, I really thought manholes were going

to play like a way bigger part in my life than they ended up playing. Kind of like quicksand. Yeah, like a manhole. There's stuff in the manhole. Everyone get in the manhole. We're taking an adventure down through the manhole. I've never been in a manhole. Yeah, I definitely thought, like, walking through sewers would be a bigger part of my...

Bigger than it is, 100%. Yeah. No, never been in. That quicksand, black holes, like, all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That was like such a big deal. Are black holes real or fantasy?

They're real. They're real. And every time I think about them, I have panic attack. I would love to move on from black holes. Okay, totally fine. Hey, let's move on. They're probably not right. Sorry, Jack.

I know that we're supposed to let you talk as you're our guest, but I, today I'm just, my brain's firing off. I love listening to you. It wasn't right. Even before you walked in. Brooke asked why I was being so quiet. Him being quiet is the scariest thing that I have ever experienced. And then I got past it.

I said I would get past it He had vitamin D on an empty stomach Oh I would get you So just don't Be warned What like What were you

I was gonna say I saw Guardians of the Galaxy I was having panic attack like the whole time Because of this They're in space the whole time Oh What is it just like the How vast it is? Yeah

And like floating Do you think of yourself being lost Freaks me out Yeah Being lost Freaks me out yeah being lost freaks me out. I'm like, where are you going? That is like

the worst thing I could think about is just like being in orbit forever. You can't plug it into Apple Maps, Earth. Uh-uh. Can't. No. And they always talk so much shit about Earth and sci-fi movies. In what way? It's a horrible planet. Oh. It's the one we have, so.

Right. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Do you believe in aliens? I just don't have time. Jack, do you believe in aliens? Yeah. definitely. Me too. Yeah.

I gotta think about what is in front of me. No, I agree. Totally. I think aliens are so real. So real. I don't think they're like those little, like E.T. I'm not picturing E.T. But I'm picturing a bug.

They could be slugs. Yeah, I'm picturing kind of like a bug. They could be slug people. Yeah. Or they could look just like us. Or they can be giant. Except they could all sing. Oh, they could be giant.

They could be like Pokemon. on for all we don't know we don't know and that's what's cool yeah um also pita named guardians of the galaxy like the number one most beneficial to animal and animal cruelty in the world exactly is isn't guardians of the galaxy i will tell you what you want to not do is go see that one as your first ever marvel movie okay i was left a little bit confused what is it are there are animals in it tons of animals is it animated like half I don't get it. It's like enchanted.

So it's in space, half animated, and superheroes? Is this the first one or the... This is the most recent one that is in theaters right now. How is it? Like, everybody was crying, and I was like... It's a raccoon with a gun. I guess I don't... It's not for me.

Maybe because you missed the first two. I was asleep. Yeah, the whole time. Uh-huh. Yeah, volume three. I missed the first two. Looking forward to seeing it. And Bradley Cooper plays the raccoon.

Okay. Awesome. Which is crazy that you could be Bradley Cooper, you could do a star as born and then play an animated raccoon for three movies. That is true. And he's probably getting paid just as much for the animated raccoon. Probably 10x. Yeah. True. To play. Raccoon.

Rocket is his name. Rocket. Excuse me. Do you think Marvel's like milking their, like their movies, like the franchise of like all like the Guardians of Galaxy, like the Avengers, like all that stuff? So speaking on Marvel is. as scary to me as speaking on Taylor Swift. Do you want to wear my necklace while you talk about it? Can I just touch it?

Yeah, my Swifty necklace. Be careful, though. Don't break it because I love it so much. I do feel like in the same realm as like Harry Potter where like the author can just write more books as long as they want. Like this thing could, because there's in list plot lines because it's an infinity war. Yeah. This could go on forever. I honestly, I feel bad.

I feel like the fans are being taken advantage of because there's no end in sight. but honestly if they like it they like it and then I released the necklace I didn't say anything bad no you didn't actually it's not for me that's fine now if they made 15 fools gold's movies with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson

in their prime that would be Marrbara do you like fools gold better than how to lose a guy yeah that's crazy to me I think it's how to lose a guy in 10 days is good what's your favorite rom-com think about it because it's a good I like the notebook is that a rom-com

I wouldn't say it's a com No, it's like, you're saying like cheesy, like. Kind of like 13, going on 30. Yeah, you're right. Crazy stupid love. Fifty first dates. Oh, I love 50 first dates. This is 40.

I really like 50 first dates. Yeah. Yeah, that is a great one. That's a comfort movie of mine. Well, because you go to Hawaii a lot. So every time I'm watching that movie, I'm like, oh, like, you know, all these beaches. I'm like, oh, we hang out there. Oh, we go here.

sea life park yeah that's bizarre that I'm sailing was there would love to go to Hawaii one day we shall go

yeah I would love that she's never been I've never been oh my god you'd love it I know okay let's look at oh by the way

is TikTok still in talks to be banned or is that over I think it's over yeah I don't know like I think I felt like it was never gonna be taken off

I felt that way too but everyone was telling me that I should take this one more seriously. I've heard that. I haven't gotten there yet. Perfect. Should we just wrap? I think that we are pretty much good to wrap here. I have nothing

to say that Hasbullah is out of jail. He's in house arrest. He seems in a chipper state. And I wish him the best. Does you not know he went to jail? No. Hussbula went to jail. Why? He was arrested. Some sort of traffic violation. I mean,

Hesbolo is pretty out of control. No? Can we all agree on that? Wait, why is Manti Patinkin trending? Do you know who Mandy Patinkin is? No. Wow. He's like an, he was in Yenthal, Broadway. The WGA. Oh, the writers. He is an incredible man. We're still standing with writers. He is an activist. Yes. I'm loving Mandy taking the charge on that. And not to mention, the lead in the first two seasons of criminal minds. Did you know that Netflix is bringing out like food trucks and music to like, It's like a festival, I think, outside of the Netflix office for the writers.

That's pretty cool. That's awesome. Wait. Netflix is doing that and also not paying their writers? Yeah, it seems a little backwards. Okay. Yeah, wait. Imagine Dragons performed.

I saw someone tweet, they're like, oh, they're bringing out all their anti-union tactics to, like, break up the strike. Okay. Because Imagine Dragons was out there. Really? Yeah. Imagine Dragons. You were there, Jack. Great show.

Oh, at the AM. When we saw them live, I was like, damn, like, I think I might be a fan. Oh, my God, so good. Jack, leave us with your favorite piece of advice that you've received from a rapper, or not from a musical rapper, from like a dove chocolate rapper. Mmm. Or the top of a Snapple can. Orch and cookie.

Ooh, yeah, that's a good one. Those were the OG Snapple tops. Damn. Snaple was ahead of the game with Glass. bottles, by the way. Good for them. Is Snapple's a little thing? I wouldn't drink one. I would. I mean, unless they're in... I love the

Snapple apple drink that's red. Because you would expect it to be in the color of an apple. We have to give Jack the floor. No, we're... Did you just drink like the Arizona teas when you were... Yeah. I never did. It was such a... Yeah. There's still 99 cents. Really? I thought it was a dollar 29.

Those were so hyped. Yeah, I think they... Because inflation is hitting everybody. That was like the thing back then. Like you're cool if you had like Arizona ice tea. Because I think that that's what all the podheads would drink because it got rid of their their codmouth. But then like if you got one, it looked like you're smoking weed. But like you weren't. I don't know that.

Like I always had really bad allergies during April in Texas. So people thought I was like smoking weed for 420 and I was like an anaphylactic shock. Like my eyes were like this because I was like, yeah, I'm high as shit. I'm like, hey fever is like closing my lungs. Yeah Okay Okay You can't think of a piece of advice

Which I also can't You can tell us your favorite number Or your fortune number Maybe I think 21 Awesome 21's awesome I think for advice Yeah

He had advice ready This is not a math podcast I think We're in my life I try to like Seek Seek What is the

What's the Quote seek it's like seek pain not like uh what is that like life starts at the edge of your comfort that's a good one that's i don't think that's what he meant at all though but it's like uh i'll let you what's like quote seek discomfort oh oh oh yeah that um just because like i mean when you seek comfort you won't like you won't be like happy in the in the long run but seeking discomfort like you feel like I don't know a lot happier like it's like taking cold showers or like doing doing something that like you're not used to doing it makes you so much happier you know just talking

about that truly right really yeah life started the edge of your comfort zone yeah it's like yeah same same type of quote but unfortunately both of us don't want to be in a situation where we're uncomfortable for even 10 seconds no I totally and like I don't want to sometimes you have to be I don't want to turn the showers like freezing cold like that's like there's no point when you can like just feel like so much comfort with like the warm water. I can feel good now. Right? But also like thinking in the back of your mind like am I going to feel better like or like happier

if I turn it all the way to cold right now? It's like it's like being selfless to your future self, you know, if that makes sense. Okay. And that's where we leave it. That is, that was good. Be selfless to your future self. Yeah. That being said, you'll never be Robert from jury duty.

so don't even try. Ronald. Ronald. That's what I was thinking the whole time. I'm like, a cold shower isn't going to turn me into like six foot six gym of a human, you know? So what's the point? You're like, how much can it do?

No, I agree. Yeah. It transformed me into his build and personality. I'd do it. I'd leave the studio now and go do it. I think you're just as amazing as Ronald. I was fishing for compliments. So you nailed it.
