Starting point is 00:00:48 Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen. Your next obsession is waiting. Watch only on Prime. What? Can you do that sound again? No, I can't. That was like so got a rolling in the moment. I can do it because I felt it.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Do you want to know why I made that sound? Yeah. I'm nauseous. That's not a nauseous sound. That was not a nauseous sound. I've just, I'm fed up because it started last night. Fet up. Oh, you're fed up with being nauseous.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I'm fed up with being nauseous. I'm tired of being tired. Because I'm not usually, like if I'm nauseous, it's, you know, sorry, you know, it's actually nauseated. If I'm nauseated, like, usually I'm going to throw up or something. But like, this has just been like, consistent in a way that I'm not comfortable with. It is nice having something consistent in your life, though.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Not this. And then, you know, I just keep taking like Thumbs and like random shit that I think is making it worse. Thumbs? Did you know I throw up the other day? No, you didn't tell me. Oh, how did I not tell you this? It's all. Oh, on the floor?
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah. Yeah. I did tell you? Like when you were just choking, like coughing? No, no, no. Oh my God, I've been throwing up a lot recently. I'm kind of in my barf era. But and I like I like if I'm throwing up it's like that is what you're, you know when people are like, oh my gosh, I was out like a light last night. I slept 10 hours. Like and someone always like there's always someone in there's always someone in the room that goes yeah well your body probably really needed that. There's a reason. Yeah. I'm like that with throwing you up. You're probably really really you got to listen to your body. Well you know what I've always said. Why can't we just poop it out?
Starting point is 00:02:55 There's no reason for it to come out of my mouth like that. It's too completely different. It shouldn't have to be. It's two companies that are not working. That's what I'm saying. It shouldn't have to be. Communicate. You're looking for a bit of a merger.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I would like a merger. I will always choose the downstairs opportunity. I don't ever want to throw up again. Why did you throw up? I have one more minute to talk about throw up before I do it myself. It was after the show in Denver And I obviously forgot about Well no I don't think it had anything to do with the altitude
Starting point is 00:03:31 We were just like it was the end of the night We finished a show I was with some friends and at the end of the night They were like the lights turned on at the bar It was like one in the morning We finished the show at 12 So I was like on my second beer And I chugged my second beer
Starting point is 00:03:46 And then I got home and it's like That beer was still like I could have smuggled this beer into it into a stadium and then bent like pulled drag and put it back into the cup and like continued to enjoy that's disgusting it was disgusting but like it was like it was like the beer the beer was like I'll just hang out here just in case you lay it if you decide you want to yeah have it have it your second try with me you know it was going to give me a second chance it was fully I lay down in bed and I go something is a foot that's the thing about nausea is like sometimes you're like something's not right but I can't put my finger on it and then you almost realize before it's too late Well it was it was like there was a dark weight in my room that was like kind of weighing on my gut
Starting point is 00:04:35 And then I was like oh my gosh this is Vaugh and I get up and like when you realize it's like Well you better get to the toilet pretty fast Because then your brain's like oh I'm gonna barf before you get there on purpose Yeah to piss you off yeah And I genuinely I had showered Like before I got in bed
Starting point is 00:04:54 So I turned the corner Really hot And to get the floor sweat From the steam You didn't tell me this I turned the corner I turned the corner of the floor sweat Like my feet got out from me
Starting point is 00:05:13 But I was like Anticipating being over the toilet So I was falling And I was just throwing it out. And I was just throwing forward. I was like, just going to show you. I'm like, I'm turning to the cook.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It came out. Oh, my God. My body knew how long it was going to take to run to the toilet. Your body needed that. Your body needed that. Just hold out for the finish line. I get in there. Floor's wet.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Oh, my God. And just like laying on the ground and there's throat just like on the wall. I was just going to take a minute. I did lay there. That's one of those moments where it's like if a tree fell and no one was there, did it fall? And it's just humiliating. It's like when you cook dinner for one and you're like, I guess I'll clean it up. I completely know it.
Starting point is 00:06:14 No one can help me in this. Like this is your thing. So then I'm just like, okay. like I guess I'll get to work. And now I just have to move on. Because like I have to, I have another whole day in this hotel. Like I have to clean out my vomit on the wall. Like by the way, toilet, you could brush your teeth with the water.
Starting point is 00:06:36 None got into the toilet wall. The whole side of the toilet looked like. I wish we're on anything there was footage. It really looked like art Basel down in my house. It's like the toilet was like spray painted, this cool kind of like chunky. texture. But it was, yeah. That was awesome.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I cannot believe I didn't, I don't know how that. No, I'm shocked. I didn't get it. I threw up text from you. Well, it was just like late at night and it was, it was a humiliating thing. It was just like, oh, like, I mean, that's, I'm just going to, like, I just have to, like, I just have to brush my teeth, get back in bed and go about, like, I'm an adult. Like, that's my adult life now. And, like, I just, and I didn't expect that to be that funny to everyone.
Starting point is 00:07:22 But, like, it is funny. It's just like, that was something that I dealt with. completely solo. That's, like, would you have rather someone been there, honestly? I would have, yeah, I would have loved if someone was able to capture me, like, completely defeated on the ground, just, like, throw up all over the wall. But I'm not, like, drunk, you know, I was just like, oh, like. Like, shit.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Yeah. Completely. Just defeat. Pure defeat. Like, surrender almost. Mm-hmm. Complete surrender. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:51 That was good. Oh, thank you for sharing. Well, I needed that really bad. Yeah, no, your body, like, was craving it. Well, yeah. And I also needed that laugh just now because I got out of the Uber. I keep getting out of Uber's and, like, I leave stuff in every Uber I'm at. You do do that.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Do do. Just, like, if you are a compulsive, like, leave stuff in Uber kind of guy, look. So much easier said than done. Just look. You need to, like, wire your brain. to be like, I leave things in Uber, so I'm going to look before I get out of the car. I know. It's probably a lot easier said than done.
Starting point is 00:08:33 But. Man, it's just weird that I like. Give it would a try. I know. I just do it every single time I'm in a car now and it's, oh, it's so unfortunate because now I got to like, I got to call the Uber and they're never anywhere close. Right. And it's not, it's, do you need your glasses that bad?
Starting point is 00:08:50 Well, I just, these are the glasses that I replace like once every two months and it's just like it hasn't even been. the two months yet. Yeah. It's just, I'm disappointed in myself, I guess. I'm sorry. I like,
Starting point is 00:09:01 sorry to interrupt really quickly. It's so hard to have a laugh like that right at the beginning of the episode because now I'm like, okay, now what? We have a lot to catch up. Like, I'm back in the studio.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I need you to cover your slit. Wow. My gosh. Yeah. You're on. Which, by the way, the European, I think it was,
Starting point is 00:09:18 you needed stitches so bad. Oh, so bad. Like, so, so bad. So I think I feel the way that you feel about vomiting throwing up is how I feel about stitches. Like, stitches to me are so, so, so, so, so insanely gross. You're sewing up my body? Yeah, that's really. Okay, Jeffrey Dahmer. Get away from my arm.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That's really, really horrible. And I've never gotten stitches, not like, knock so much on wood. But I had to get something removed at the dermatologist, and she was like, you need stitches. And I was just like, it's not, like, I'm not going to happen championette. And so now I have these two, like, horrible scars and that's the end of that story I have a horrible but it might be worth it might just be worth it
Starting point is 00:10:00 because they're like pretty like tough to look at the scars I know but I like you have to put me under for stitches you will have to put you'll have to put me under but the scars are really terrible and then we talk about anesthesia again I'm scared of anesthesia anesthesia was the best thing that's ever
Starting point is 00:10:17 happened to me well anesthesia I forgot what someone diagnosed like a new disease for me that I have now because they're like well he has over the course of the three years that we have been doing this podcast this young woman or man this young person has been collecting data on me and they have come to the conclusion that including whatever episode we talked about anesthesia that my my unwavering like i am not affected by anesthesia takes a lot of anesthesia to put me out there and they're like well this this just cracked the code for the case for me. Yeah. You have this new thing. Isn't that Ellers D? Yeah, which everyone seems to be very convinced. I'm like, you guys, I, great, then I have it. There's no cure. Everyone's like, you just deal with it. I'm like, okay, cool. Well, then that's the end of that conversation.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Yeah, but I think like once you know, there are things. You know, you know, but I have a new diagnosis for you that I wrote down on our notes. Oh. You have been casting, what is it, glass stones? you've been throwing stones at my glass box. You have been looking me in the eyes. Every time I say I'm so drained, you're saying you're iron deficient. I'm saying, no, I'm depressed. We go back and forth, okay? I'm not iron deficient.
Starting point is 00:11:35 You are. Huge symptom of iron deficiency. Itchy feet. Solid on TikTok. It must be true. You think I was projecting my iron deficiency onto you? Yeah, I do. And I, and I very,
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm not iron-defficient. Okay, I'll go get a blood test. You have an iron deficiency, my brother. You're iron-deficient. And I hate to be the one to tell you that. It brings me no joy. You're smiling ear-to-ear right now telling me I'm iron-deficient. It brings me no joy to tell you this.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I didn't want to tell you, but I put it in our... I've been on the edge of my fucking seat to tell you. I've been shaking with anticipates. You're lacking. a heavy metal honey bear you are baby abnormal paleness or lack of color of the skin huge swollen fat disgusting ass huge spleen your spleen is so gross everyone's been noticing anyway it's just something to think about this thing where it's like okay lack of color yeah i can track that irritability that's not going to help anyone here lack of energy increase heart rate
Starting point is 00:12:55 So or swollen. Both of us could have literally anything. No, I was thinking this yesterday because there's a new disease going around New York called Legionnaires, which like that sounds. Heard of that. That sounds like a end of the world type disease. And it's from, it's not contagious person to person, but it's from breathing in particles like like, like, like, like, I think liquid particles. What is it?
Starting point is 00:13:20 In the air. I don't, but no, the symptoms are literally COVID. coughing exhaustion brain fog huge and large disgusting spleen yeah
Starting point is 00:13:35 it's yeah I wouldn't even notice if I was genuinely sick like that because that's just my day to day I know it's so sad I pray you get a blood test I'll get a blood test I'll get a blood test I'm going to go do that like for a vlog what the greatest thing ever about
Starting point is 00:13:52 me going to the doctor, to the dentist, whatever, is that like, I say this to the therapist, every single time I go to any of these places, it's like, God enters me in a comedic way. And it's just like, you're about to put on the funniest 15 minute set that no one will ever see of your life. And it's just like, I want to know if my doctor leaves that room, which is like, God, that kid's going play. Like, that was just like, oh, just such a treat. I'm sure they do. Even though she's probably like, what a waste of my time. No, I'm sure you make their day, honestly.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Because when I go to the doctor, I'm so dead silent. It's like incredible. Like I lose all personality at any appointment. I went in to get my medication. The only thing that's been really working for me. And she goes, whoa. I go, what? She's like, one, I can't believe you took all that already.
Starting point is 00:14:50 What medication? the anti-anxiety stuff that I got for flying but I was like I tell you I told you I fly I fly once a week somewhere during tour and you're surprised they took 10 pills okay but then she goes but the woe was
Starting point is 00:15:11 she gave me like the highest dose and she's like that's like people that have been on it forever but it didn't even they don't even I probably shouldn't even be saying this on like that my medicate It's okay, right? It's prescribed to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And it doesn't make me tired. Like, it makes me feel completely normal. That's good then. Now, I was like, I really think you nailed the dosage, actually. Yeah. Very good job. Well done. Very well done.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah. Anyways, so I will, I'll go back in. I'll get a blood test. Is it normal for a doctor's appointment to only be 15 minutes? Yes. Oh. Yeah, they're in and out. Maybe stuff is different in Texas because I remember.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Honestly, the doctor usually is only in there for like five. I feel like I spend more time with the nurse practitioner usually. The nurse practitioner doesn't really like my jokes as much. So I'm like happy to see them go. But the doctor comes in and sits and I'm like, I'm glad you're seated right now because I have my opener. My opener is like knock your socks off. My opening line's about to knock your socks off. My cold open.
Starting point is 00:16:14 But what's great is that remember when I, like two years ago that doctor said I had high triglycerides in my heart? You know, no doctor's ever said that ever again. I've mentioned it and it's on my records and they're like, you don't have that at all. I think I was going to like an underground black market doctor. No, I think like, that's cholesterol, right? It's cholesterol adjacent. That changes. Yeah, but that doctor was like, do you have a history of this in your family?
Starting point is 00:16:41 No. And he was like, do you eat like Arby's for every meal? And I was like, do I look like I eat Arby's for every meal? Like, what are you saying? What are you prescribed me with? And he was like, hydroglycerides. And I was like, and what do you mean by that? That could mean anything.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Triglycerides could be healthy. Triglycerides could be a supplement that I take that I want more of. I think you just had high cholesterol. I think you just had. I think, uh, mama think you. Mama think of high cholesterol. You woke up that day with high triglycerides. And that's fine to do if your body wants to.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Your body needed it. Here's the thing. They should have like me and giving advice to the doctor. doctor community. You guys should have a way where like if I come in at 11 a.m., I've obviously had a Celsius and two black coffees. My heart rate's going to be pretty high. And also you're at the doctor, which makes most people nervous. Yeah. And I've just walked up the stairs. Yeah. Because I had Arby's for breakfast. Right. But I, you know, like, yeah, you got to like offset that. Yeah. Just like take that in consideration. Like when you weigh a turtle or something, you got to take out
Starting point is 00:17:47 the weight of the tank that you're weighing the turtle in. Oh. Like you weigh the tank. You way the Tank first. Control. You need to control. Chat, you betcha. Yeah. Feels like every product claims real protein these days. But real doesn't start on a label.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It starts at the source. Like real California milk from California farm families, it's real dairy delivering high quality, complete protein, with all nine essential amino acids to help build muscle, give you energy, and keep you satisfied longer. So keep it real. Look for the seal. Real California milk. Girl, winter is so last season. And now Springs got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope? It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Work your magic. I was thinking about Texas yesterday, too, because I don't think we've ever talked about this on the podcast. Never been to Texas. Whoa! Yeah. Just the airport. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:19:09 You should come. I know. I need to. This year for ACL, Austin City. I really should. I can't do that. Yeah. Because I have a wedding both weekends.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You and I know? No. I don't think so. I think you've met Kelly, Kelly and Jen as well. Oh yeah. Yeah. I've met them both. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 That will be fun. It will be amazing. Wow. You're like, you're having a lot of weddings recently. Um, experiencing a lot of wedding. Last wedding I went to was in October. It is about to be September.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Time is, time is flying, but also going so slow at the same time. Yeah. Has anyone else having that time warp experience recently? I just never know what month it is. Especially in L.A. I had to get something notarized, 10 pages of a document, and on every page, I wrote February. February, that's not one that I'm typically drawn to.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I wrote February on 10 pages of a document, two. I wrote 2-the-dash the date it is today, dash 25, notarized it, which took forever. faxed it. No, I one day mailed it. I express mailed it. They called, why did you put February, like that nullifies this whole document? Why did the not realize this? And I was like, I genuinely, like I couldn't tell you. I couldn't, I don't even know why I did that. Can anyone be a notary? No, it takes a special kind of man. Your hat. What does J. H. stand for? Just hanging. Does it actually? Jackson Hall. I'm thinking of Josh Hutcherson. Not anyone can become a not just anywhere can be a notary public.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Filling special eligibility crime. Fulfilling specific eligibility requirements. Okay. So you have to be at least 18 legal resident, etc. Okay. So you just have to be, yeah. I mean, it's just like anything else. Back to Josh Hutcherson.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Back to the Texas. Okay. You can do Josh Hutcherson because I'm not going to forget what I was going to say, but you might forget. Well, I, it's like, I will not forget Josh Hutcherson. Don't get twisted. I'm about to pass out. Are you?
Starting point is 00:21:28 I'm iron deficient. Can I suck on a penny? Take an iron supplement. My God. What the f-don't come at me like that with your- Gummy. Take off. No, you can't extract enough from a penny sucking on it.
Starting point is 00:21:49 It's like, why does your brain go, can I suck on a penny? Get a iron gum. Why? Because I'm iron deficient. That is why my brain wants to be. me to eat a penny or two. Like, my God. That's just my two cents.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Talk about making things difficult for yourself. That's just my two cents. Now that's hysterical. Tell me about Texas. Okay, well, hang on. I desire to eat a particular substance such as dirt or ice, a condition called pika. Ooh. Pika, pica.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah, I have pika. You want to eat dirt? What? You want to eat dirt? Like not right now. Have we done something eat dirt before? Reminder eat dirt. Reminder eat dirt.
Starting point is 00:22:32 No, it wasn't reminder eat dirt. Don't get it twisted, y'all. It was just reminder dirt. No. I promise. Reminder dirt. Eat dirt sounds really familiar to me. It wasn't eat dirt.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Have we told someone to eat dirt? Why are you flicking that at me? What was that? My bean. Oh my God. I have also something to say about beans after you. Okay. Reminder dirt.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Please say something about Texas So then I can talk about Josh Hutcherson Okay hang on You guys welcome back to Birken Connor Make a podcast Thank you for listening for the past 20 minutes Like obviously I don't know how we got here
Starting point is 00:23:12 I don't know where we're going But we're glad you're here and you're back I'm in the office today Oh yeah Yeah If you're not watching Connor Sitting in the studio next to me If you're not in the studio
Starting point is 00:23:24 Where the hell are you even I'm begging you to say something about Texas because I'm about to burst with what I need to say. Damn, what is another sign of iron deficiency, irritability? Maybe you should suck on a penny. I'm not irritable. Maybe you should suck on a nickel. I'm not irritable.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I'm impatient. Are nickels made out of nickel? Or aluminum? I can't. Nichols, despite their name, an art made out of nickel. They're primarily made out of copper nickel alloy. Did I say any of those words, right?
Starting point is 00:23:55 I'm going to go on my phone. No, no. Figure your shit out. Okay. Is one of the, is one of the, the signs of iron deficiency i need to be on my phone is one of the iron deficiency signs like i need blue lights choking it through my retinas like i'm trying to do a podcast like i we're we have topics to discuss i'm trying to do a podcast you're talking about nickels i have things to say places to be
Starting point is 00:24:22 start talking about texas i'm going to freak out i had no idea she was trying to do a podcast yeah i am oh i had no idea i'm going to i'm going to go and my phone. No. Okay. So in Texas. Can we turn the easy down? I guess I'm getting...
Starting point is 00:24:38 Take your sweater off. Oh, I can't. Why? Because I slept in the shirt under shirt last night and I sweat right through it. Bullets. I've been sweating so bad. It's a night. It's a sign of iron efficiency.
Starting point is 00:24:51 We, us both getting blood tests. Like, the two most iron deficient people that have ever, like, walked U.S. soil. They think they just have a leg on the news. Complete. It's a miracle that these two are alive with the levels of iron in their body. Completely like pale in the face, like huge spleen. Like taking our huge fat spleen on a walk.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Like how have you guys been carrying around these hugely massive fat spleen for so long? These two have the fattest spleen. Please tell you about that. Never seen spleen like this. Our spleen are so big. They begin to congeal to one double spleen. Okay. Hey, so in Texas, we used to every morning we got up, we said that, did you guys say
Starting point is 00:25:52 the Pledge of Allegiance? Yeah, in like kindergarten, though, only. We said it every, I think we said it through high school, like every single day. There was two flags in our, every classroom. I think we did it in third period every day. did it over the intercom, stood up, hand over your heart, well, we couldn't wear hats in school. And then we do the American pledge of allegiance,
Starting point is 00:26:16 and then we would do the Texas Pledge of Allegiance. Right. So you know we would pledge our allegiance to our country, and then we'd say, but we're also like to take it one step further, I pledge allegiance to the one state under God, one in individual. No, I pledge allegiance to the Texas flag, one state under, and so it's like, like we never thought about it but that's like too conflicting ideas like here we're
Starting point is 00:26:39 we're national but also we're like independent like we ride for our our motherfucking boys here in Texas right and then we did a we did a minute of silence which if you're ever trying to laugh as hard as you possibly can like you need to do the moment of silence when you're supposed to be deep in prayer imagine our 45 minute moment of silence a week holy molly i have never had the giggles like I did in those moments. That's the hardest you'll ever laugh.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And when you're on the facing bench too, which is the one bench that faces the rest of everyone else, they pick like 10 kids to be there. And it's always one kid that's like looking at you, you look up and they're already looking at you. I was on the facing bench when that one teacher came out. The facing bench. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:30 My heavens to bat. Anyway, keep going. Oh, well, one teacher came. out of the closet. No, remember when he was like came out to as, we thought he was coming out, but then he was like, call me Mike. I was on the facing bench for that. Did you pee? I was like, I literally, I don't know how I did it. I was digging my nails into my thigh and making myself bleed. I don't know how as an adult I'll ever feel that experience again. Because I think any, anytime that would happen to me now where it's, I have to be quiet for something. It's, it's probably going to be
Starting point is 00:28:03 like a very serious like heavy situation funeral wedding was a lot okay Matt King's wedding was the last time I experienced like complete and utter crossing my legs to not pee my pants and just because trist it and the mic kept going out do boys have to cross their legs not to pee their pants well I already had to pee and it was like a horrible time because we're all watching the parents give the speeches that are like I always wanted this for my daughter I like the moment I met my son's you know wife like I always knew but um i think it was was it was matt king's dad that was not it was patricia's dad and he's going the moment i met matt i might goes that like and it was just like and then he walked up and he said and then he kept going and then he turned the corner and then he was and then i said and i don't know
Starting point is 00:28:52 what in that in that moment the just tristan's delivery made me you and tristan really can tickle each other Holy freaking airball. Like I was just like I couldn't I was punching him in the leg like you fucking stop Like I really like this is not appropriate No one else is doing this Like no one thinks this is funny That's the thing me
Starting point is 00:29:14 No one thinks this is funny you're sobbing No no one else thinks it's funny that we're laughing Usually like if I see two people laughing I'm like Aw That's girlhood right you know Not us like We were like
Starting point is 00:29:27 People like Are you seriously have some decorum? Yeah. Act like you've been outside before. I'm like eyes spleen protruding out of my body. Like eyes popping out. I can't breathe that one vein in my forehead. When I laugh really hard, just like pumping blood.
Starting point is 00:29:44 You can see it. My heartbeat in my forehead. Oh, it was so funny. I told you about the assembly that I had the giggles really bad. The assembly. The assembly? Yep. Really?
Starting point is 00:29:55 I don't know. Well, I'll tell you. Okay. I've probably told it like 15. times what the good news is like we won't remember that it'll be like the first time hearing it yeah it was like end of school and we had some sort of like end of school assembly and the headmaster at the beginning like was like i want to take a moment of silence um we lost like an incredible member of our community recently and everyone was like oh my god like what happened and he's going on like
Starting point is 00:30:22 this member has been a fixture a pillar of our campus like blah blah, blah, like how important this figure has been to the school, like foundational to the integrity of the school. Then throws up on the powerpoint of a tree. Then full tree that's just been out in the yard for a while. Next slide, stump. The tree had been cut down. And so that's who he was talking about.
Starting point is 00:30:54 That was the pillar of the community that he went on for 10 minutes. about we have just lost the pillar. Now, let's do five minutes moments of silence. We have to look at the stump. We have to look at the stump and do five minutes of moment of silence. Wait, what? After thinking we had lost a human. Who threw up? You threw up? What are you talking about? Oh, throw up on the on the power point. Oh, yeah, he threw up. I'm sorry. Well, I'm like, he projected the image. We lost a community member. No, he projected the image of the of tree in its glory and then followed by the stump and the imagery of the stump stayed with us on the screen as we observed it in a moment of five minutes of silence.
Starting point is 00:31:39 You understood how I made that leap after we've had half of this show today has been my vomiting. Okay. That's hilarious. Your school is so mind-blowing to me. Every time I hear a new story about your, it's just like, did you ever learn math? I don't. Genuinely, I don't think so. Like, I don't know what I learn.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Because every time I hear about your school, it's like... I do think I learned how to write there. Like 45 minutes of reflection and then like an hour of silence. I'm like, one was that at school? Right. It sounds like a monastery. Well, the reason I went there is because like the early childhood piece of that is like very like emotional intelligence. And that's what I needed at the time.
Starting point is 00:32:23 And then I just ended up saying there. Like the teachers were really in tune with the kids emotionally. and that's what I needed at that time in my life. And then I didn't really... Me when I lie on my resume. I think instead of doing calculus, I think we should be... We should do another year of emotions.
Starting point is 00:32:40 We did calculus. Some people did calculus. Some people only did pre-calc. But definitely some people do calculus. Hey, you don't have to tell me twice. I took calculus four times. I was like, I need to be... I might actually don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:54 On the play on words section when you set the row up versus like, display something. You just reminded me when someone said they lost someone, we were at one of my shows, and one of the employees of the comedy club walked up, and it's our second time meeting, and he goes, yeah, I just lost my fiancee last night.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And I go, oh, my God. And there's a security guard woman who's just like this tough broad. And she goes, oh, honey, oh my gosh. What happened? He goes, we just broke up last night. And she goes, oh, geez. Jesus, I thought she was missing.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I said, let's go find this bitch. She just, like, full-blown just, like, went off on him. I thought she died, too. I was like, oh, this is, like, we need to. I couldn't tell, like, I was like, did you say we lost her? Well, the security guard was like, oh, like, she's, let's go find her. I was like, oh, Kevin's. Oh, Kevin's.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Oh, Kevin's to Betsy. Kevin's to Betsy. I was like, this is not good. But this is like, well, because I was in another situation where I have given off a vibe where someone is, is trauma dumping to me yet again. And now I can't. It is a one-on-one situation. I'm always in one-on-ones. You are always in one-on-ones?
Starting point is 00:34:13 It's really bad. Did you finish talking about Texas? I was just going to say, I didn't realize I was talking about the Texas pledged to someone the other day. And I was like, oh, my God, you didn't pledge your allegiance to Pennsylvania, you know? Right. No. just Texas yeah well Texas has that thing about like being Texas
Starting point is 00:34:33 it's a seed like you had Texas history and stuff like that yeah well that feels almost like as weird well I guess Texas like had little battles and stuff I don't think like like Idaho didn't have any like the battle of the potato you know yeah yeah you know like there wasn't anything so I guess that they don't have any like and I don't want to talk about Idaho history or Ohio history and look gloss over something i didn't take those classes texas history is like the alamo you know and we like battled mexico i guess we talked about like getties we went to gettysburg and you that makes
Starting point is 00:35:11 sense well you're you were on the you were in new england right isn't it pennsylvania no it's not what's new england what states make up new england i think new england starts in connecticut connecticut rhode island massachusetts new hampshire vermont mayne shit like that pennsylvania is really close though It is pretty close, yeah. Oh, not me naming every single one. How did you do that? I went to like a really good school where like we learned so much information. We had a lot of time to reflect on the states that make up New England.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Can I tell you about like Josh Hutcherson and my bean? Yeah. Oh, those two things are related? No. Okay, cool. Yeah, hit me. First, I'm on this, the most insane side of TikTok, which I don't understand, but I like. it's all these edits,
Starting point is 00:36:00 like ship edits of Draco Malfoy and Simon the chipmunk. I saw these. You did? You posted a bunch of them. Like romantic and kissing and stuff like that. And I don't know where it came from, but like it's a real thing
Starting point is 00:36:12 that people are involved in. And sometimes they expand. Sometimes Josh Hutcherson is in them. Sometimes Jeremiah from the summer I turned pretty is in them. Sometimes Jojo Siwa is in them. And I don't know what is like, what are y'all doing together?
Starting point is 00:36:27 Like what? What makes these particular individuals a unit that is unifying them in these edits? Like, how did we get here? I think it's probably- And why did it start with Simon and Malfoy? And why are they kissing on the lips? It's impossible to say. I just am trying, I want to know, I'm sure someone knows, like, where did it originate?
Starting point is 00:36:53 No, I bet it was one person that was like, either one, this is funny or two. Like, I'm attracted to this chipmunk and Malfoy. But I understand, like, some of them make sense to me, like, Jeremiah and JoJo Siwa, like, they make sense to be together in these edits. Like, Simon is an incredible person. Like, Simon is like... Salton doesn't fit into me. He's Salt of the Earth. Whereas I can see critiques of the others.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Not including Josh Hutcherson, though, so I don't really know. Josh Hutcherson is also amazing. So I don't know. He's like in that group, sorry to, I'm not, I'm saying on Josh, Josh Hutcherson. Yeah. He's like in that group of people that are doing these indie movies now. Have you noticed that? Yeah. It's fabulous. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Yeah, I'm really into it. And he's just like so low key and cool. I really love him. And he's like the most offline person ever. I love that about him. So it's like, it's like one of the many things I love about Josh Hutcherson. Because of that, it's like funny how he ended up in the like Rachel Sinnet, like JT. firstman crew. Right. Interesting. Outside of him just being like an A list. Maybe he lurks. I love a good lurker. I don't think he lurks. I don't think he lurks. I think most, I think most people lurk. You think most people lurk. That's interesting. Yeah, I do. That scares me too because who's who's here right now. Who's here? There's a flea. No, stop saying flee. Look. Where? Where? I know. I just saw it hopping. No, it wasn't hopping. That's a fly that's been kind of landing here and there.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Okay. Now, bean. Bean, right. Hit me with the bean. There's a new app that Hank Green made, and it's called Focus Friend. And you have this bean. It's like one of those cozy game kind of vibes. You have this bean. And the longer you stay off your phone, the more that the more knitting that the bean can get done, the bean knits socks. When you pick up your phone, the bean stops knitting the socks. And you can trade in all of your knitting projects and the socks and scarves if you upgrade to the premium version and you can buy decorations for your room. So the more that you don't pick up your phone, the more you knit
Starting point is 00:39:07 and the more decorations you can buy for your room. It's amazing. So the more you don't pick up your phone, like the cooler your room gets for your bean and you can buy stuff. But every time you pick up your phone, it stops knitting and loses its progress. It's like almost counterintuitive, but it's not. What do you mean? Like it's like, oh, you have, because I want to, I want to, if my room turns out really cool, I want to spend time in my room on my phone. Well, you you can when it's time to be on your phone but you have to set you set focus timers i see yeah okay you're like i want to focus for one hour your bean starts knitting for one hour but when you pick up your phone like your bean's just not constantly knitting it's when you set the focus your bean can't
Starting point is 00:39:44 constantly be yeah you can't constantly be knitting you need to give your bean a rest yeah so you set focus timers which is this has been amazing for me because you know i have my lockbox to put my phone in but sometimes it's like what what's the incentive for me to put it in the box like it i don't even it's in my hands right now and it's too hard to get into the box. No. Once I press go on my bean putting it in the box is an amazing thing to do because then I really won't touch my phone and my bean will get so much knitting done. Yeah. I mean this is like such a Hank Green app. Yeah, it's so brilliant. It is like really like not to make everything about us but I it does feel like adjacent to things that we talk about on here just 24 seven like beans and knitting. Beans and knitting
Starting point is 00:40:25 and being off our phones and saying on them too. and on them yeah and cozy games that's I think by the way my cozy my tiny bookshop that's the most influential
Starting point is 00:40:38 I've ever been I really think you moved the needle on that video game because I've not seen any of our comments be like what is she talking about I need it you haven't seen that I haven't seen like everyone in a con
Starting point is 00:40:49 because we gave no context on that that clip was so funny by itself but like I realized at the end I was like wait I know what she's talking about but if you were just to come across that close you wouldn't know that you were talking about a video game. I would have thought that you were a small business owner.
Starting point is 00:41:04 No, this is the most I think I've ever seen people like DMing me and posting like playing tiny book shop. And it's like the, it's an honor to have spread the gospel. Yeah. I solved the, uh, the murder case of the mega Marche mascot. Good. It was Tilda. Fuck her.
Starting point is 00:41:21 And the murder weapon was in the trash can at the mega Marche. That's fair. I didn't know I could knock it over. So that's been amazing. That's careless. It's careless. Careless who put the murder weapon into the trash camera. It was Miriam's knife too, which was crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Tilda had borrowed it. I did not turn her in. I had the option too, but I did not. Well, now you're an accomplice if you didn't turn her in. I don't feel that way. It wasn't a human that she killed. Oh. It was that thing that's outside of like car washes.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Oh, right. She slashed it. Yeah, she just slashed it. And I got my own caution tape for my cart. Summer is here, and Ralph's is your destination for hot savings.

Starting point is 00:42:49 I've been watching Hunting Lives. Is anyone watching Hunting Lives? I watched it. Did it end in a way where it was like, oh, I want one more episode? It ends in, in the way. the way that is going to set you up for season two in like a way that went way over the top IMO. It did like 18 different things in the last episode that's like you can, there's got to be a way
Starting point is 00:43:09 to wrap things up and set up for season two instead of just raising 18 different issues. I think it's like, okay, now we can do whatever we want for the next episode. I started watching. So now I'm on this, now I'm on a kick. I'm on like a murder mystery kick. I love murder. I started watching Dexter yesterday on the plane on the plane on the way. way here. The way that the
Starting point is 00:43:31 stewardess came up every single time there was just like an open, murdered, severed body and he's cutting into like a naked woman's throat. Sorry, trigger warning probably for me to say that. And she's serving me chicken curry. It's just like, this is wrong. I'm always on a plane and like I'm watching this show or something that like, the way I tried to start watching, I tried to start watching. watching Game of Thrones three separate times on a plane in.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Every time I turned it on, there's like an orgy happening. Yeah, and it's not a plane show. How would I know that? I'm in the middle seat and there's like 14 people blowing each other. It's like, okay, hang on. Like we can't, this can't happen here. Like this is genuinely, now I'm on the hot, I'm in the hot seat. Like no, no, no, no, I don't, this is not something.
Starting point is 00:44:18 This is not like my show. Like I'm trying to get into it. I'm not trying to get into it. Like this is gross. Like I don't condone this behavior. And also like- Why don't you don't condone orgies? No.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You can have orgies if you want to have an orgy. You can probably meet a lot of, you can probably a great networking opportunity. But I, like, I, I don't want to want, I don't want to do that on a plane. You don't have to. Well, it's just, like, so hard to turn out. Those touch screens, like, are not sensitive enough,
Starting point is 00:44:46 so you're, like, pressing the button, like, four times. Oh, I can't turn it off. Sorry. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I have a boner.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Like, it won't turn off. Why when I go? I'm like rewinding. Anyways, I do not have a boner and I never had a boner before. Amen, bro. Yeah. But yeah, that was tough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I had something else. Speaking of boners. Yeah. I had another. Boners come up once an episode now. No, they do. No, they do not. I fell in love again this weekend in a similar way that I fell in love with the waiter.
Starting point is 00:45:25 I imprinted again. It's like such a specific feeling. It's not like, oh, I think that person's cute. It's like I'm drawn to this person like a moth to a freaking flame. Really? In such an imprintation way. What happened? I can't.
Starting point is 00:45:39 I went to our friend Nick's birthday party. Our friend Nick throws the most fabulous. Oh, I know exactly what you're going to say. It's the most fabulous event of the century each year. It's an annual century event. And he does like these like really like masculine like fratty theme. So last year it was just like frat bro. This year was like risky business.
Starting point is 00:46:01 But they're like the gayest parties in the world. There was an hour long show tune medley in the middle of the party where we all just like watched Nick put on the performance of a lifetime. Like full stage. Like serious budget went into this. Like videographer stage costume special effects. They did Chicago. They did Wicked.
Starting point is 00:46:20 It was incredible. But so they're like very incredibly amazingly gay parties. And the only people, like the only straight people there, I would say are like a few women and like the one like token straight boyfriend. But anyway, I walk in. I'm immediately, I see this young man moth to a freaking flame. He kind of looked like the waiter. And also I was like, you are one of the characters from my book. Like you are what I've been picturing, which is like sometimes I love doing this.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I'll see people in the wild and I'm like, ooh, you could be this person. Yeah. But this was like, no, you are this person. Yeah, yeah. I was like trying to build up the courage to go ask him if he acts. Like should my movie, should my book ever be made a movie? Like he was this person. I was like, I couldn't stop just like gravitating towards him.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And yeah, I was completely freaking in love with him. And I was going to go say something after the performance. But I lost him. I lost him during the performance. He left. And thank God I was able to find him on Instagram. Yeah. Because Hunter, your friend.
Starting point is 00:47:25 followed him and I knew he would. Yeah. Yeah. Because I had asked around for his name. Yeah. And so I was able to cross-reference a few times. But yeah, that's that. I've been thinking about the guy.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Have you reached out? So, no, but this is interesting. He, because of the theme of the party, he was like wearing this polo because it's risky business. But on his Instagram, fashion is different than I saw in a more like sly way, which I really like. And a sleigh way? He's like very sleigh.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Gotcha. Yeah. He's doing like, he was doing like extremely tight gloves. Does that make sense? Like tight leather gloves and a Montclair. Which I wasn't expecting. Was he skiing? No.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Oh, you'll have to see this photo. Yeah. Where would you ever need to wear gloves? I really, really, really like him. What? Where would you ever need to wear gloves? It was cold out. But they were like very tight leather gloves.
Starting point is 00:48:24 And like a. and like a very tight Montclair. And not a matte one. Like a shiny Montclair. A shiny Monclare. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:48:34 That's incredible. Yeah, it was amazing. I really love him. No, not at all. Just like what getting... It was chilly. Where? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:43 But he didn't have the location. Interesting. We'll have to look into that. But I hope I see him again because I feel more comfortable with him like being gay. I can just like, hey, like, I just think you're like, I probably like wouldn't necessarily go up to a straight man and be like, I think you're so hot because that would be really, I'd be feeling more shy, but someone that would not be interested in me, I'd be like you're so beautiful, you know? Is that weird to do? And I love that this came, by the way,
Starting point is 00:49:10 this came about because Brooks said, well, speaking of boners, like that's how we got here. I just really, I fell in love. Yeah. Is that okay to say? Yeah, I think it's fine. It's harmless. Thanks. You should reach out. And say what? I saw you. Yeah, I saw you from across the room and I loved your vibe. I literally that's what happened. Yeah. Yeah. And then I lost him. But I'm going to see him again and I'm going to say, hi, I imprinted on you. And I would want to know that if someone imprinted on me. Is that a fingernail on your breast? So that is skin for my lips that I've been picking the whole episode. Thanks so much. Oh, I wanted to just flag because you're wearing a black blouse. And it's, yeah, appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:49:53 There's still one more piece. Nice. Now there's crap all over it. Nice. Oh, well, that brings me to something else that I wanted to bring up today. Huh. Let's talk about stains on your shirt. Not your shirt, in general. I left the house the other day.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Look down. I'm wearing a crisp white tea. I look down. Stain. On me? This can't be. But here we... I'm a half block from my house.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I say, do I turn around? I go, you know what? No. This is a coffee stain. I've been up for a while. This stain is a sign of life. I'm not going to go change and put on a clean shirt. Everybody has a clean shirt.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I've been up. I've lived life. I have a history. They write ballads on stains. I got a barbecue stain on my white. I think that's a good way to look at it. I got a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt. Now, she was killing me.
Starting point is 00:50:56 in that miniskirt because of that saying. What is that song? I got a part of his in my white t-shirt. She was killing me in that miniskirt. What is that? Did you just write that? Yeah. It just came to me and I dream.
Starting point is 00:51:10 But I just, I got a new lease on life when I kind of let my hair down and said, like, let's do this thing. Connor, that's amazing. I think that's a good way to look at it. It's a sign of, like, it's like wrinkles. Like, it's a sign of a life what lived. aging is a privilege. Aging is beautiful
Starting point is 00:51:29 and not only beautiful but a privilege as well. Do you think it's okay that I called him Sleigh because of his Montclair? Yeah, I think that's positive there's no negative connotation to Slay and like,
Starting point is 00:51:40 I agree. Hey, if anyone agrees with that, it's me. Unless you were like, yeah, he was really Sleigh. No, like he was like Slay. Yeah. The house on boots in a way that I was comfortable with.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he was wearing boots. too, but you're probably from the waist up. He was wearing boots. Yeah. I miss him. It's a beautiful thing.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I have another, I have another take. This one won't be as well received, and I know that. What? I think we need a little justice for the person that repeats the joke louder so the table can enjoy it and laugh. Because otherwise... I feel like I might know one of those people. But that happened recently? I'm just saying, like, if that joke is a resource, I could go to benefit a larger number of people.
Starting point is 00:52:30 It's like do you shift the train? You're being selfless. You shift the train and you run over one individual on the track and you save the five. Or it's going to hit those five. I don't see how that applies. I say the joke louder. You save lives. I run over the one individual who didn't say it loud enough.
Starting point is 00:52:48 That is their fault. You could have projected your voice a little bit. Oh, you're saying somebody else's joke. Yes, there's so much like. I thought you were repeating your own joke. That is an option to. That's an option available to you. But like let's say someone said something and I say it louder.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I'm not saying that that was my idea. I'm saying the table should hear this. Project your voice. Now I get the laughs in the moment, but then I say, well, Brooke said that actually. As long as you give credit. We're credits do. Of course. I'm one to give credit, but I'm just saying the joke needs to be heard.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I think it's something that we can all benefit from it. There's no reason that it should just be gone with the wind. No? Totally. I haven't seen that movie either gone with the wind. haven't either. Maybe we could watch that. I don't know if that's like one that we would, what has gone with the wind about?

Starting point is 00:54:25 I have something to talk about that I like should not bring up. Too late. It's just like I, there's going to be some mental turmoil in front of me with future book reviews of my book. And I know that. And I think it's time to start preparing in therapy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:44 For like how to not engage with any sort of. We've talked about this. We've talked about this. There's going to be negative reviews. Yeah. You know, there's someone's going to write it one star on good reads. I mean, you've had a video go viral and it's a harmless video and it's very funny. and then it reaches a part of the internet
Starting point is 00:54:59 that's just like, I want you to die. They have a personal vendetta out for you and anything that brings other people joy. Right. So there's this thing that's been happening on book talk on her. There's this well-known book girl who just came out with a book.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Her book's not out yet. Sure. But advanced copies are available. Yeah. And this one girl got an advanced copy and read it and gave like a very, very harsh review. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:25 And when I say very harsh, like if someone said that about me, like I don't know if I'd see me again yeah um which like you know bad reviews you know they're gonna happen it's gonna happen and the first like comment on that video is like oh my god like please do this when Brooke Averick's book comes out and the girl responds and is like oh my god yes for sure what if we didn't what if we didn't is this person a fan of you I don't think so but it's just like comes i just know it's coming because everyone was like oh my god yes please do this for brooks and i was i'm sitting there like please if please god help me like god help me i'm

No, it's going to happen. But it's just, you got to take the good with the bad, you know. And it's going to be so overwhelmingly good that the bad will just be, it'll be saturated. One of the critiques that this girl gave of the other girl's book, she was like, like, the dialogue is like not stuff that you would like say in real life.
Starting point is 00:56:51 And one of the examples she gave was like, oh, the situation. situation is dire or something. I said that on the first page. But I would say that out loud. Like the word, what people use dire? Yeah. No, people do use dire. I agree. So I was like, that's so, it's an interesting
Starting point is 00:57:09 criticism. Example? Yeah. But obviously, like the first thing she said was something that existed on my, on my page one. Which was amazing. I mean, we're just going to get feedback no matter what. We're going to get feedback. This is so, this is so not important compared to that. that but it's kind of funny okay i got a comment this morning on i posted a video where my mom had
Starting point is 00:57:31 me go outside and ask my dad if he needs help on the yard and it's just i whispering and i'm saying do you need help and i was just like yeah he didn't answer i don't think he wants i think he's in the zone whatever and someone said did you tell your mom that you were filming that like no she's i was gonna say because she's a great actress yeah she knew that i was filming something but she loves it She loves it. But I got a comment this morning, His doesn't hear you asking him the way it's to whispers. Dot, dot, dot, dot.
Starting point is 00:58:02 And I go. Wait, can you repeat that? Fact. Can you repeat that again? I'm reading it word for word. No, I know. Do it again. His doesn't hear you asking him the way it's to whispers.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I think that should be the title. I really like that. Okay. Yeah. Genuinely, I was like, yeah. Yeah. Like, I couldn't. Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Wait, well said. I couldn't have put it better. His doesn't hear you. Me on the first page of my book, be like. His doesn't hear you. Da, da, da, da. The way it's to whispers. It's a really, you did it.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Whoa, we started with that. We're almost going to end with that. Yeah, full circle. I will say Jane Goodall just went on a podcast. I want to add her to my list of people that I think would be really fun to have on because she's a scientist. Yeah. But she's like, she's like a normal. just young woman too, you know.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Is she? She's very cool. Yeah, like I've heard her talk about stuff. And she seems like very down to earth. But she was talking about how she went on the A24 podcast of all podcasts and said, they asked a question and it was just like, hey, is there a species that, is there a potential species of like monkey? I think that was the question that hasn't been like discovered yet. and she talks about a village where it's connected
Starting point is 00:59:23 it's not connected at all there's a big stretch of force in between these two villages that no civilization the only people that keep contact between these two villages are like hunters and they go through and I guess six of these hunters have come and said like yeah there's a species of monkey no tail because they went to ask if any monkeys have like evolution
Starting point is 00:59:49 I don't know what the word is Evolved Oh wow Leave it in Evolutioned To have no tail I don't know why that was a question And six individual hunters
Starting point is 01:00:00 That didn't know each other Said yeah there's a We've seen these In the woods They're about six feet tall They walk on their hind legs And they don't have a tail Which sounds like big foot
Starting point is 01:00:10 Six feet tall Yeah And walk on their hind legs Yeah that's a That's a creature Yeah But Jane Goodall's ass on a podcast, that's so hot.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I feel like you can't say, do you say hot? Hot. I feel like you can't say Jane Goddall's ass like that. I can because it's endearing. It's like you're saying sleigh about the young man. It's like, like, Jane Goodall is like, oh my God. Is that it? That was me going to vomit in the restroom for genuinely, for real.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Like, no, because that's not six feet tall. That's about a foot and a half. And that has a tail. Wow. That is very hot. Well, he lost his front limbs. Oh, look at that guy. Is that real?

Starting point is 01:01:42 Um... I plant as a flower? I don't know. No, that is seeds. So it's a fruit? I guess. vegetable is a culinary term Asparagus
Starting point is 01:01:54 I think the thing of it I think it's a stalk I think an asparagus is a stock Yes the term Vegetables primarily culinary and cultural term Rather than a botanical one Whoa So vegetables are just like
Starting point is 01:02:10 We're like this gets vegetable vibes Totally based off a vibe Yeah so that's why there comes so many issues When tomatoes and shit like that Yeah it's like that tomato is a fruit or you know whatever it's like why aren't we having the same issues with like cucumbers then that we do with tomatoes like they have seeds well i think like it's genuinely probably the most annoying person in the world it's like actually it's a fruit like i genuinely whoever
