Well, Loser pulled up to my front door step, and I was like, and I was like, hey, for Conner, and he's like, yeah. And he's like, uh, loser. And I was like, no.

Like, don't do, don't be so hard on yourself. It's like 8.30 a.m. Are you sure it was pronounced loser? Luchazar. He just said it really fast. And also I didn't even read, I just saw loser. I was like, maybe that says something about me. But I was just like, oh, you're not that.

Like fully his name that he was given at birth. That'd be like, I pull up, hey, Connor, you're not, no. Don't call yourself Connor. I've never heard the name Luchess are either, so that's cool. Yeah, it was kind of lit. Me and Lucho had a great time coming here. I dropped my coffee all over his car. Mercedes-Benz.

It'll smell nice. So yeah that's a sense and it it would just smell like coffee it's not like it's puk Puk. I am in like such a once in a lifetime headspace. Like once in a lifetime opportunity for us right now that like this could either be like my best performance or my worst and like it's exciting to see what where it'll go. Oh, I have no idea either. I really have no idea. I think it's there must be something in the air or maybe in the water. Maybe it's heavy metals.

I know that January being January is like the oldest topic in the book. She is making us feel every one of her days. But it's unacceptable. And like the fact, I think it's the fact that like you can't even look forward to an ending because then just February's coming, which is arguably worth. I had a thought yesterday. And it's so funny you're saying that because I agree it's so played out. I was going to post this on TikTok, but I'm like, everybody's saying this. But I was like, I got to start planning my birthday.

He's coming up. My breath is nine months away. But I just don't remember a time when it was in January of 2025. Like I was like, when did this start? It is. Like, I'm getting to the point in, and by the way, like, when I say I'm depressed, like, it's fine. Like, people, like, I feel sad and people are like, it's okay. Yeah, it is okay.

This is Luchazar, not losing. Yeah, this is okay. But, like, I'm getting to the point in my depression where it's like, I'm getting impaled, stabbed by the crumbs in my bed because I'm eating so much in my bed and like I can't even I don't even have the strength of wipe away the crumbs I'm getting stabbed with every turn

and all I can do is go ow ow if you're stabbed in your bed and there's no one around to hear you say ow does the tree even fall yeah you're the real life princess in the pee but it's princess in like a Dorito

It's a Jewess and a Dorito. A Jewess and a Dorito. Yeah. Yeah. That's just how I'm feeling. I once had a crumb recently in my belly button and I did the same and I turned over and it got my ass so hard. And my belly button's randomly so deep. I literally had to look at it and be like, hello, hello.

Where are you? Children's book alert. Where are you crumb? The Dorita crumb in the young man's belly button. Deep. belly button I got it out but obviously it took a little bit

of elbow grease could never be you no couldn't putting in the work in your in your BB my BB's too tiny so if something got lodged in there could you get it out

can I see your BB or no like maybe not on camera could you show it to me like a secret I don't really want to lift my top why check out my top it's cool I like it looks like a blind see what it is.

It's a scene from Sex and the City. Which scene? When they're at the baseball game. Oh my gosh. My fat ass thought that was the godfather. No, it's Sex and the City. Oh, it's Sex and the City. They're all wearing glasses.

So I thought it was like something mafia related. No, there's this, it's from this company. I think it's called Knitworth where they have just like really intricate knit things. And I ordered a tote bag with sheep on it because I've been so. obsessed with the sheep recently because I have this gorgeous portrait of a sheep in my bedroom with this like beautiful gold ornate frame and I've decided to make my whole personality sheep. Okay. So I ordered, I have that sheep painting.

I have a sheep blanket that I got that's really cute. And then I have this sheep tote bag. But I was looking at the sheep painting the other day. I said, wait a minute. That's a cow. Which kind of prompted me to look at the blanket. So I said, cow? Polar bears.

Which then prompted me to look at the tote. Rabbits. Maybe you're just like animals. Luchess are. Get your head out of the belly button. So my nearest resolution is going to be to be more observant. Because I could also walk in your house and be like, I love that painting isn't new. And it could be the very first thing that you've ever put in your house.

Yeah. No, I get that. that's a good that's a good reso i want more clarity which i guess is a cousin of the word clear and i want more intention yeah one or the other a relative yeah intention i don't know what i meant by that but clear i'd love to i'd love to have clarity but i don't know how to create clarity in my life what do you mean by clarity like i just like would like to see things more clearly Is that something that you can do? No, it comes and goes like waves.

Like sometimes I just have this like stroke of... I mean, how can you like intentionally do that? Like sit down and be like, okay, it's time to see things clearly right now. Hey, let me sit down and see things more clearly. Like what things? Stuff. Okay. Does that make sense?

Starting to. I think honestly... I'm starting to think about it making sense. I have concepts of it making sense. I think that if I drink more water and exercise, more and get better sleep like things will become more clear so I think that maybe rain fog are you saying yeah okay perfect thank you I knew we'd get there but I wasn't seeing clearly at that time yeah yeah no worries now I'm sing a little bit more clearly by the way great hand montana song it's called clear I don't know it

you have not known it every time I've brought it up on the podcast I think you're right and I've shown it to you every time I've talked about it and it's it was on some me and my sister shared an iPod shuffle I do know that and so obviously it was just and it was a shuffle so you couldn't like I think that you couldn't you can only skip so many songs or there was only 25 songs on it I know every word did this song clear by Ann Montana that's awesome it might be my my my Lys Iris but nice yeah so that's my goal but clear and kind I like too but I think that you got me all fucked up because I wasn't talking about like being clear with other people I was talking completely about my I didn't see I didn't that wasn't clear to me no no no Now you're saying more clearly. Yeah. I got my contacts stuck in my eyes last night. Speaking of seeing more clearly, I wouldn't. I really wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I would. Connor, I was going to say every single time that I say I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, take a step back. Of course I would. Of course you would. I would go out of my way to wish it on my worst enemy. Every single time I've ever said that. There's nothing I wouldn't wish on the worst enemy. I pray my enemy gets their context.

Yeah. Contacts stuck in. Can't talk so. But that really was the worst hour of my life. There was nothing I could do to get them out. And it's like such a panic attack moment. Children's book. Where do the contacts go when they get lost?

I'm seriously. No, they were, I saw them. They were in my eyes. It's not that they were lost. Just get them out. Get out. Connor, my fingers were slipping. They couldn't grasp.

So what I had to end up doing was sticking my t-shirt in my eye because my fingers wouldn't grasp under the contacts. But my T-shirt. You didn't have anything other than a T-shirt? Can a Q-tip? Panic mode. I would rather the T-shirt. Q-tip, like the stuff could come off, you know?

Yeah. Cotton. But I had to stick my T-shirt. Do you think what, do you think that is made out of? C-tip's like, maybe. No, you know what I'm saying. Q-tips have residue of, like, that will come off.

Yeah. Like, Fuzz. Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like that's more sterile. I'm sure it is. I literally, like, it was like, I didn't have time to think of. of what's more sterile.

Connor, you don't understand. When these contacts are stuck in your eyes, it's like literally like a saw is coming at you, like slowly and you have seconds. Like it's so panic attack-inducing. Does it hurt or does it? My eyes hurt so bad. There's still slits right now.

I have so much lumify in my eyes because my eyes were so bloodshot. Lumify is bad for you. Okay, well. Sorry, I just found that out this weekend too. I'm sure getting contacts sucking your eyes and then having to shove your teeth. t-shirt in them isn't good for you either but here we are not supposed to put a t-shirt in your eye

brook but here we are just letting you know here we are i can't believe we live in a world where you have to put something into your eye to see and i was so excited to have my contacts today because i got a higher prescription so i'd be able to see the screen without glasses well you we make a plan and now i'll never put them in my eyes again thank god i got it to your supply you can eat them if you can do a I don't know I'm so stupid we got a great episode for you today

how is New York did you find an apartment? Fuck no bro oh God no I did not find an apartment in New York out of the 18 that I toured over the weekend no how come how come

think about that for one second that phrase how come what break those words down how come how come how you come purse how can come purse papa how come brooke it literally is caveman talk how come are you just born like what you talking about how come i feel like i took an edible or something literally that's what you what you what you mean is why how come you how come i completely agree brook look at the first thing in my never Look at the first thing in our sharing note.

I agree. Brooke, look at the first. Connor, give me a second. And read it out loud. Okay. Okay. You're going to shit your pants on. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Metal? No, first thing. Come. Holy shit. Because I thought about it because I was like, how come? I'm like, am I from like a cave?

It was so weird. I was like, how come? And then I was like, I can't say that in any professional settings. Like, how did this come to be? Shortened. How did this come to be? So in other words, why? Why?

We have a word that's so much shorter and we choose to say, how come? Yeah. It's so funny. Okay, I'm so glad that came up. Yeah, that's awesome. How come? What'd you mean by metal when you wrote that? Is that all I wrote?

Yes. Oh. How come, do you think? Well, I'll get there. I know what I meant by that. But here's how come. Because, so I go to New York and I'm, meet with my realtor and it's our first day and I had landed the night before kind of late

and I woke up the next day and had to go straight to film a video with Delaney Row and we can talk we can go on tangies if you want to that her Gucci ad you in it was like giving me almost goosebumps even it was so good I like she's so brilliant and every single like the storyline thing was so crazy and it's it's funny because like we're shooting a video the same way you and I would we have the same job you know that right like we have the same job as delaney but like she was like okay I want to like kind of I want to kind of like punch in here on this shot and I was like you want me to punch in punch in oh you wanted me to punch in yeah it was like

crazy the direction and I'm like hey y'all there's There's a chrome in my belly button. And then that's my whole video. And hers is like, we shot this whole thing. Yeah, it was really good. So woke up, did that. Was that the video you were filming? Yeah, the Gucci one.

Woke up, did that. Went home change. Went home change. Had a Pilates class. The Pilates class was Celsius. Busy boy. I can, will never do that again. I didn't realize what Pilates was.

Pilates is really hard. It's on a machine. Pilates is a workout class for people who are already in like the best shape of their lives. It doesn't do anything for people who aren't. In my opinion. It does do things. You know what it did to me? But you can't,

I'm saying you like can't see the results. Like if you're not in good shape, like it tones you and it like firms you up. Like I wouldn't be able to see that on my body. So I want to, I want to, so I obviously couldn't do it. And when I heard it's a 50 minute class,

I go, I can do 15 minutes. 50, 5-0. So I'm sitting there and like obviously giving up halfway through every workout. And they're on a mic. Connor. You're supposed to be in plank.

I was like, I was in plank before this, before I laid down. But the machine that you're on, I'm sure everyone can picture the reformer. This is what it's called the reformer. It's a sex. It looks like I would be strapped there and wearing a full leather suit. And I don't know what happens when people are strapped down to the thing and wearing a full leather suit. Whipped or something probably or like oil or stabbed. I have no idea what they do in those sex acts.

But, you know, you're on it. not attached anything. So like when you you have your foot on like a stagnant piece, a piece that doesn't move. And then, but the whole middle part moves. So like you have to like hold it in place so that it doesn't slip out. If you slip back like, like, I'm surprised there's not like serious, serious Pilates injuries. I was, former scary. I was having to. I like Matt Pilates. Yeah. And when I say I like, I mean, I preferred the one class of Matt Pilates I took. I'll never go back. Yeah. But I liked it better. I liked Barry. when I did it too.

And I think there was a little bit of, yeah. I had fun because I run a lot. And there's a lot of it's cardio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I want to show you really quickly. And then I'll send this picture in just so everyone can see it after I show Brooke. I want to show you, first of all, what I looked like in that class.

And then I want to show you the other young men that were able to join the class. So here's what I looked like, doing my best, holding myself. That's Connor. That's a pretty picture. Thank you. here's right after that picture when I gave up. I want to show you the other the other young men that were part of the class.

That was every other young man that was able to join the class. Why didn't you take a photo with them? So I really sat that one out intentionally. There's just not a world where I would ever take my shirt off next to them. I would have liked that. I weigh as much as every other man

that came to that class. I weigh as their forearm. I bet we weigh the same. You and I? I weigh more than my grandpa. Always have. Well, that's different because you lose a lot of weight when you get older. Even in his youth, he's never reached my weight in his life time.

Well, that was the hardest thing ever. And then I left and I went straight from that to go tour. So are you saying you weren't in the headspace? No, I was ready. I'm just saying that this is what the day brought me. Okay. I go to the first apartment. Go up.

It is like almost like I'm in a dream. And the dream I'm having, I've walked up five flights of stairs. And when I open the door, thinking I'm home, it's just the longest hallway you've ever seen. You can't even see the end of the hallway. And that was the apartment. It was just a long hallway. And I go, oh, is this like a corridor to like the apartment? And it's like, no, this is the apartment.

It was like you could put, like a pud. like a putt putt course like haunted house putt putt putt course and the rooms were just like all off of this hallway and i was like no this is not for me so we left pretty quickly um we go downstairs he orders an uber the uber pulls up it's like an SUV and he gets in the side and i go to walk around the car and a city bike goes by me on the other side of the car and then i hear boom and then i'm like what was that the bike hit my door of the uber and flew like that like that The driver had like gotten out and opened my door. Biker hit it, flew off.

And I look, I go, okay, well, that's the rest of my day. He's laying on the ground. I go, hey, you good? And he goes, uh, yeah. And I was like, okay. Let's get, I find his glasses, his two lenses of his glasses. Oh, it's breaking my heart. He gets up.

He lived down the street, so his dad came right away. He was probably in his mid-20s. Yeah, he's like an adult. Yeah, like a good looking guy. You almost got me at the two lenses. Two lenses. I'm underneath a car, like, getting his lenses out. Oh, it's smart.

And then he's, like, bleeding a little bit, but not like, it's not like coughing up blood. It's just like he scraped his face, you know? So I like, set him down and he's like, I'm waiting for my dad. And I was like, yeah, you, if you're out, are you good? And he's like, yeah, I'm good. I'm like, okay, no, no, no. It's like Uber lawsuit money. Like, don't tell anyone else that you're good, you know?

Be like, I don't know, you know. Like, really just keep some things close to your chest. right now. Did you call the cops or? Called an ambulance and then the ambulance came and his dad came and his dad was like, yeah, you guys can go. And we were like, okay, peace out. So we go to the next apartment.

And we walk up to the next apartment. I'm like, this is a cool area. This could be it. We go up to the door and someone opens the door and it's like, it is the oldest man that I think is alive right now. 150 at least and he weighs he weighs as much as a penny

40 pounds he looks so much like a ghost that I looked at the realtor I was like can you see him too and he was the current resident I didn't know who he was at first I was like are we and then the landlord was like

or the realtor was like all right here we are and I was like and he didn't say anything to the dude the dude just like sat down I'm not gonna dude in his at his the apparation

sat down on the couch in the living room and it was just like and it was all carpet it was pitch black in there and so I was like my the realtor right away was like I'm sensing that I was like I don't need to walk through this place and he's like you all set and I was like yep and then we left and that was the last apartment we toured the first day and I was just like hey so just to help narrow it down like I don't want anything that looks that resembles even anything like what we saw tonight like if that helps just no hallways no like ghostly hollows like I'm good with both of those not being so I don't know like why I didn't believe people so much when they were talking about like the New York apartment hunting situation I am so humbled I think you just need to get lucky which I'm sure

you will yeah to date that has been the case but I'm putting in the work so this is not like a get lucky situation I toured 16 places. And they were all horrible? In their own way. Like the last day I toured six and I was like, okay, this one's pitch black. This one I just hit my head on the ceiling. It's like I'm eight feet tall. Like that's not too low of a ceiling.

So when you move to New York in a few weeks and you don't have an apartment, do you have somewhere to stay? Yeah, but it's not a long time. I will be signing a lease by February 16th. Okay. Because I'm not going into this dark night of tour without a home. Yeah. Wow.

So it hit me really hard and it's actually and like in terms of like work stuff now, people are like, hey like how's this going? I'm like, I really need to be honest with you guys. Like it's actually taking up so much mental space in my head worrying that like the move without a place to move to that like I have not gotten to that yet. So apologies. So yeah. Damn. Yeah. Well?

Well, I'm going to make sure before we move on from New York that I didn't have any other pieces that I needed to share with you. Oh, I do. Okay. Let me know. Okay. So then we had an event for the wildfires on Friday. Yeah. Hosted by Kyle Cook of Summerhouse.

Are you going to join Summerhouse? No. That's the question that everyone's on the tip of their lips? The question on everybody's lips and all the main fans being, no. That's the answer We do not We're good there I'm not joining summer house

I'm just friends with everybody But So we go to this event And it was really funny And the bachelor started on Yesterday Wait Monday The new season

I haven't watched you yet I want to do the reviews That I was doing Last year For Joey's season The thing about Joey's season Was it was so funny

To me And everyone was so individual That it was like really easy to do recaps because everyone was like such an individual so much so that like I came on this podcast three weeks in a row and I was like Maria is insane Marie is insane so I get a tap on the shoulder at this event and it's obviously Maria gee so hey you keep talking shit about yeah no and I was like my bad that was only three or four times five times max in a public space on a podcast did not mean it.

She's like, you clearly did. And I was like, well, now you hang out with all of my friends. We share a bunch of mutual friends. So, like, I know that you're not insane. And I know that the Bachelor can edit people in a way that makes them seem crazy. She goes, were you quaking in your boots? No, we were having, like, a really funny. It was funny.

Okay. And I was like, I know the Bachelor can, like, edit things in certain ways to make people. And she goes, no, I'm crazy. So I was like, I was right. But I, she's so cool and so normal. We had like a great night, but I was like, the comus on this, this young woman, for her. To come out with me and be like, hey, you called me crazy on your podcast three times.

I'm like, I did, frankly. Good for her. I love that. But she stood her ground on The Bachelorette or The Bachelor and in person. And I'm like, you have to take your hat off, which is the reason I'm not wearing a hat today. Just kidding. My hair looks good, kind of. But I'm like, wow, that was impressive.

And then we follow each other on Instagram and the rest is her story. Wow. Yeah. Love that. It was a really like that was like such a refreshing experience not like not like seeing someone over there and being like oh like I talked about that person on the podcast and like they obviously heard it and they obviously share mutual friends like I'm going to have to go over there and be like hey like full blown nipped it in the bud conversation done moving forward that's fabulous yeah it was really great and she was

really fun to hang out and looking forward to nurturing that relationship that's great yeah How was your weekend since the last time we chatted? I don't really think that I did anything, Connor. Just because of the, I'm just like waiting for January to pass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me by. I've decided to be engaged by Valentine's Day, so that's exciting. So I look forward to.

14 days or 18, depending on how you look at it. Yeah, 18 days, so exciting. I'm doing something on, oh, I'm getting a stomachage. Oh, no. Just talking about it. it and maybe from the cassidia I had this morning too. I'm doing something on Friday, this Friday, a work opportunity. I was, I can't say anything yet, but you'll see it because I have to post it eventually.

I was reached out to and they said, do you want to do this? And I said, I can't. Thank you so much, though. Holy moly, wait, I want to know what it is. I said, I can't. Can you tell me so that we can have a conversation about it right now? Can you just tell me? It was on my close friends yesterday.

Did you see it? Still on? Yeah. Well, let me look. Almost feeling like he didn't look at my close friends. Maybe it didn't come across my desk. Probably did. I don't know.

There's not a close friends that I would skip. I watched it. Well. Oh, wait. So I read the second half of what you posted. Okay. Because it was just, it was a chat, cheap, T screen. And I was thinking you were working on.

I was basically asking chat, GBT, like how? how would you handle this situation? Oh my God. So basically an opportunity presented to me and I said, I don't think I can. Like I don't think I have the capabilities because you guys know like there are so many people that can't be in a room with. And this opportunity that I was presented with includes, I would say, a person who would probably be number one on that list that I don't necessarily speak of as being number one on that list, but it just kind of is implied. Okay. And I was like, is there any way to kind of reshape this opportunity in a less interactive way? And so they were like, and I'm sorry I'm talking about this so vaguely, but it will become clear. And they're basically like, no. And I think you should do it. And I was like, okay, I'm going to because I would obviously really regret not doing something like not doing something like that. But what do I do? Do you know what I mean?

In a situation like this one? I think it will come to you like how God used to deliver messages to prophets. Do you really think so? Yeah. Okay. I'm really looking forward to experiencing it and then talking about it next week. Yeah. When I can talk about it.

But just know that something's happening. I want you to be thinking of me on Friday and just knowing that something's something's happening that shouldn't be happening. Holding space for you. Hold space for me. Lord have mercy. I am about to bust. So.

You might bust. Oh, I'm going to bust on camera. There's so much money in that right now. Busting on camera? Awesome. It's the final frontier, so I might say. Manifest destiny. We're going west to bust.

You know, that trend, that's like, you're so funny, thanks, I blank. Yeah. What's yours? I don't, like, I had Gerd growing up. You're so funny, thanks. I threw up in my mouth every night when I fell asleep

and then I grinded my teeth right after. So now I have cavities and I have eight root canals and I'll be at the dentist for the rest of my life. Okay, thank. I wanted you to bring that up because I knew that was going to be yours. Yeah. And I, and I owe you an apology. You're so funny.

Thanks. I had Gerd. I owe you an apology for minimizing that. I had acid reflux for the first time in my life. Oh my God. Yeah. No one's talking about it. No one's talking about Gerd.

What's the difference between GERD and acid reflux and heartburn? You can get acid reflux can be... I think I had heartburn. Yeah. It usually goes hand in hand because it's just the acidic. If you eat something acidic, you get heartburn. But if it's coming up the other way, you still get heartburn. But you also, you can have acid reflex.

it could be a one-off situation, but like Gerd is like something like almost like chronic that you have for like a while. Did it hurt? I would have heartburn every single day. Oh my God. I thought I would, Connor, I was literally inches from calling 911 when I thought I was having a heart attack. Mine luckily happened in my sleep. So I was just like, fuck it, we ball, you know? Yeah, because of the nights and stuff.

And the nights are hard. Yeah. The nights were hardest for me because of Gerd. Yeah. So I owe you an apology. I love this wig on this pot. Like it literally is like having a third guest on the podcast. I keep looking and we're being like, do you agree?

I like him too. I like how he has like nothing to say but everything. Hush, hush. Well, yeah, no, so that was tough. Actually, you reminded me like I'm, I found a dentist in New York, which is so weird to find a dentist before you move somewhere. Is that, would you say dentists are like your number one, like health care professional that you need? No, I need a full body scan. I convince myself.

Is that the place you find yourself at most, though, is what I'm saying. The dentist? Yeah. Like for me, I need probably like more of like a mental health professional wherever I go. I need that too. You need it more, but I need it as well. Yeah. No, I would love that for you. And I think you would be a therapist's wet dream.

I know. Because like you are such a good talker. Like they don't have to pull anything out of you. Like there have been so many therapy sessions where I haven't said anything. Oh, like I should record mine and release it as a bonus episode of this podcast. Yeah. I just wonder if it's hard in therapy because I have not been, frankly. Like I, so I wonder if it'd be hard for me not to turn everything into a joke.

Because I'll be at the doctor's office and literally shooting this shit with the medical professional. And then like by the end they're like, fuck it, man. Like, yeah, the other day I was and I was like, wait, hang on, you're not supposed to be coming down to my level. I am just trying to. Well, the right therapist will call you out on it. Yeah. What wall do you have up where you need to make everything? a joke.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. Yeah. Do you want to talk about what you meant by metal? Yeah. First of all, I wanted to say that it just came out that that Girl Scout cookies have like a lot of aluminum and metals in them.

Are you sure or read like a headline? Can we Google this? Because it just came out that. It just came out that Girl Scout cookies have a bunch of toxins in them, including, like, aluminum in the sum of us. And so, like, obviously, Google AI saying, no, Girl Scout cookies don't have metal in them. Yeah. I can't remember if I dream this. Can we check the news tab?

Hmm. Cardi B's multi-pack deodorant is giving Girl Scout vibes. Is that what you could have seen? No. No, all right, I made it up. Okay. So what? Sue me.

I thought that I saw this somewhere. Because I was like, it's not fair that everything can be not good for you. Well, I would assume they're not great for you. Well, like, I don't think they probably don't have metal in them. 100% of Girl Scout cookies contained concerning levels of heavy toxic metals. Okay. What is this website? And this is on Lil Sipper.com.

And so this is my- What are you doing on Lil Stinker? Lil Stinker.com? So I was kind of messing around. January 11th, 2025. I saw this on Lil Stinker.com when I was browsing. 100% of the cookies contained at least four out of five heavy and toxic metals, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.

The peanut butter patties were the most contaminated, ranging from the lowest level of mercury to the highest levels of lead and aluminum. This looks like a mommy blog, Connor. I don't care because I'm taking thinnints to the grave, like aluminum and all, whatever. And who's to say that metal isn't good for you? Right. Your body has metals in it. Your body needs more metal.

I have no room to talk about anything with the amount of raw fish that I consume. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I guess you're right. Like, there's no reason I, like, I, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, guess the mows aren't healthy for me but i didn't think that they'd be like cancer i don't think they are i think that you've found like the most random mommy blog out there okay whatever but speaking of metal so me adding two things about metal in the in the note page oh yeah the bottom one metal and the metals

and a girl scout cookies oh i see metal and then a separate toxic girl scout cookies yeah yeah taking thin mince to the great well yeah that was the one note I wanted to make like that's okay like I understand um I don't so I saw this tweet about this girl that was like we just got a new co-worker at her office and she just microwaved her food with a metal fork in it and I had to be like hey you can't do that and she was like sorry it's my first day and she's like this bitch is an idiot like but I am on her side because what with all of the scientific advancements, we're putting people,

we're talking about putting someone on Mars, but we can't put metal in a microwave. I can't reheat a breakfast burrito. I always get confused on if you can put tin foil in the microwave. That is metal babe. It's aluminum foil. Yeah, and I put it in the microwave.

Yeah, and it's in my thinnments too. Because you can put it in the oven and the air fryer. Yeah, it's different, those are different beasts. I don't, it doesn't make, it doesn't, it's not intuitive. Those are actually completely different utilities. It's not intuitive.

Wait, not utilities, appliances. Yeah. It's intuitive to me. So sometimes I do get confused about him. How come? How come you can't put metal in the microwave? How come? Donald Trump.

Radiation? Yeah, I guess radiation. Are people still, like, there must be people out there that are like, I don't use microwaves because of the radiation. Yes, there's so many. So it. I don't think that, what's her name? Like microwaves aren't, like microwaves aren't going into your hot pocket and now you're eating a wave, right? Personally, I don't know.

And that's the end of the sentence. Like you can't eat an x-ray. I'm sure it's not like great for you, but a lot of things aren't. Almost nothing is. Yeah. I'm sure it's no different than like sleeping next to your phone. I stopped doing that. I didn't.

I stopped because when my phone vibrates on my mattress and it goes throughout the whole mattress. It is frustrating. That is, that makes me want to punch a hole in my drywall. And it goes, and it's like wakes me up out of the deepest sleep. Yeah. Okay. I have like a string of events that happened to me. Okay.

So last night I had a dream. I'm looking at the lake that I live on, which is toxic. There you go. What? Another dream about a body of water. Yeah. The water's toxic. But I always, when I was a child, I always wanted to like make, like, absorb all of the brownness of the lake that I lived on and make it clear.

which like you probably wouldn't want to see within that lake if it was clear what would you absorb the brownness with there's like muscles and clams that are able to like filter water and get like stuff out of them but because it's the the lake that i'm from it comes from a river the river like deposits a bunch of soot and stuff and then the lake that i live on is is loki a dam a reservoir if i may yeah and so then it flows back out past it but like because of the the sediment deposits like it's It will never, it's just cloud, you know, it's like not fixable. So I had a dream last night that there were dolphins in the lake and I was like, this is so cool. But then the dolphins came to shore and they were seals. So that was the dream.

And then I wake up this morning and I go down. I walk down to the ocean and there's like a million dolphins. And then I opened my phone and the first thing I get served on Google is this, if I may. Dolphins and orcas have passed the point of no return in evolution to live on land again. Again? Like I guess at one point dolphins and orcas were just living on land. How were they getting around? Like I guess kind of just like walking.

Slythering? No, like probably like. Oh, okay. Like. Imagine you go to back up and there's just like a dolphin, a naked dolphin man back there being like, don't hit me. Yeah. do we have like are there any images of like prehistoric dolphins with legs a recent study from july of 2023 in the journal proceedings of the royal society bee sheds light on how marine mammals like dolphins

and orcas have hidden evolutionary point of no return oh my god yeah they were they had arms and legs well that's like a crocodile okay right that's what it would look like like long snout legs watch yeah damn i was thinking they would be standing upright like a human like order during a coffee. I know. I always get confused about evolution because like it's so easy to think of it as like it started as this and then this and then this and this but it's always about that like least the common ancestor thing and then my brain starts to hurt. Oh, I don't know anything about what you're talking about. It's just like how these are all blobs and then they get like little arms, you know? Because like a dolphin is just a round blob. The fins, they got lucky

with those honestly. Fear. The fact that the fens were pure, a dorsal fin, pure luck, pure luck. Finn is always a trigger word for me. Why? I told you that story. When in 11th grade bio, my teacher was like, like, what makes whale a mammal or something like that? What makes whale mammal? How come whale mammal? How come whale mammal?

And then I was like, oh, my God, they're fins. No, sorry, they're gills. I said, oh, they're gills. and then she wrote Brooks idea on the whiteboard and said, what does everyone think of that? And then like no one, everyone was being really sweet. Like, no, I wanted to say, like, is the exact opposite. So, like, everyone was quiet.

Then she just put a huge X through Brooks idea. And then it just sat on the whiteboard for the rest of the class. Which is sweet. We share the exact same thing with that. I remember there was one time in college or maybe high school when my teacher was like, hey, guys, like, what kind of. It was a math question, but it was like shapes. What kind of shape is this?

Geometry. Yeah. And I answered. And then after I answered, she goes, reminder, there are no dumb answers. Yeah. There are no stupid answers here. But it was after I answered. And how's wrong?

Tough. Yeah. How's your headspace right now? It seems like fine. It's changed. It's definitely changed from the beginning of the episode. And what way? It's leveled out.

out a little bit. Like I'm more calm, but also I liked, I preferred it the other way. I felt like I had more to say. Yeah. I've just been like a little bit unpredictable in my moods. You've been crazy. You've been crazy. Well, which is why I had no choice but to get in like the most heated fight of my life.

With who? Anthropology support. Customer support. Those bitches had a comment. And I'm not sure. You can tell me, I don't know if I was in the wrong or they were in the wrong. I think usually if you're, if you specifically are considering if you may have been wrong, like, I think well, I'll hold your hand while I say this. No, I mean, they just like, it wasn't good customer service on their.

What happened? Of course. Um, I have spent an obscene amount of money in anthropology since I moved on like, obviously I needed a new wardrobe because I moved. And also just like house stuff and like anthropology has been my go to. Um, so like an obscene, obscene amount of money. Okay. I ordered a sweater in an extra small because I wanted to be a little bit more snug. They sentenced me in an extra large.

Okay. This is Connor. When I say obscene amount of money that I spent, I say obscene. So I reached out to support and I said, hey, you sent me an extra small, can you please, or an extra large, can you resend the right one? They never answer me. A week goes by, I reach out to the claims again. Never answer me. Finally, I call.

Okay. and you know I never call yeah they don't answer me finally I get an email okay um that they will refund me if I return like the original sweater and I was like well I don't want to return the original sweater like I returning things are the hardest thing for me like you guys made an error can you just and I'll be honest I already gave the sweater to my friend okay can you just resend me the sweater. And they were like, we don't have it anymore. And I was like, okay, great, you can just refund me then. And they were like, not unless you send back the sweater. And I was like, I want to keep the sweater and I want you to send me my money back. And they were like, we can't do

that. And I was like, okay, because every other experience I've had with any other customer service, they've just resent or refunded without making me sent back, like, no problem, especially if I'm like a valued customer, which I am at anthropology. So at this point, I'm, just like in such a mood. And I was like, this, okay, that's disappointing. And they were like, we physically like from the back end like can't offer you a refund unless you send it back. And I was like, I just kept saying, okay, that's disappointing. And they go, we can give you a 15% refund. And I said, I thought you just said from the back end, you couldn't give me any refund. And they said, we can give you a 15% refund only. We cannot do any more refunds from the

back end. And I said, okay, that's disappointing. And they said, we can give you a 20% refund. but we cannot give you anything else just because of the back end and I just kept saying okay well that's really disappointing as a valued customer they could give me a 25% refund from the back end

nothing else and it just kept going on like that and then I think we got to 30 they could refund me without me sending the original sweater back and then that was the cap and I just kept saying that's really disappointing

thanks have a good day you should have to eat it at that point I obviously am going to eat it but what do you think I think that's disappointing. Oh my God, it's disappointing. From the back end. I'm just speaking from the back end.

But don't you think like as good customer service would just be refunding me for the error that they made? Well, I think when you're anthropology, you're just like. Also like you're anthropology. You're not a small boutique. No. You know, I spent a fortune there. Just refund me. I'm not asking for much.

I bet you'll get a 35% discount after this goes live. Which is something to look forward. But then I was like, then I kind of thought about it. And I was like, oh, okay. I'm asking for them to refund me while I keep the product. Like maybe that's wrong. But I honestly don't think it is because they made an error. Well,

this is their nightmare. They forget that they didn't know who they were doing. They're valued customer as a podcast. Yeah, I think that they probably are going to be, you'll probably be hearing from corporate soon to offer you. I'd be happy to. To offer you up to up to 40.

Let me know what you can do on the back end. Up to 42% from the back end coming your way. They cannot do refunds just because of the back end issues. I know a thing or two about the back end issues. Do you? Yeah. Don't we all? Yeah.

Well, I would think so. But anyway, that's the only thing I did this weekend. Yeah. Well, no, I, historically speaking, I don't know if this has been always a case, but like, I think, and I do think that we've gotten like a little bit entitled, but that is the new norm to just be like, we messed up. We sent you the wrong size and we're out of the. the sweater. I have never had an issue before with that, with places that I shop at far less.

Like, good customer service has always been like, oh, our bad, let me resend or refund. No, you were dealing with, like, employee the month at the customer service counter from the back end. I just, and I said this isn't good customer service. Well, if you come pry this sweater out of my hands from my house, then you can get through, but I didn't want to say I already gave it to my friend. No, but like they're not going to like have you go ship it out of the post office. I don't even know where the post office is. And that's the thing like that you're really like, and not to be dramatic, you're putting me in a really tough position asking me to go return that. You're putting me in an almost impossible position. So many crumbs in my bed right now.

I'm in a, I'm covered with landmines all over my bed. Like that's the last thing that I'm my friend already has the sweater. That is the last thing that I can suck it up on the back end. You made a mistake and now you're asking me to do something that is way out of the realm of possibility. Okay, I was, I mean, I was seeing, seeing red, truly. And it's just the principle. Hey man, I'm on your side. Are you? Yeah.

Thank you. Feels nice. Yeah, that's like genuinely the first one. I'm like, okay, suck it up. Corporation. Anthropology. Well, they are owned by Urban Outfitters. Or I think they own Urban Outfitter.

Yeah, one or the other. They're doing fine. Urban Outfeters makes a lot of money. And Urban Outfitters has. rectified a situation like that with no problem before. I'm telling you. I think you were dealing with an individual who like is running customer service like the Navy. She just kept saying one moment please so she could go check in with the back end. Well the back end is is here with us today. The back end is the friends we made along the way. The back end might not be the destination but the

journey. I want to say something. So I speaking of trends which we hadn't remember that do you know the elevator trend like I'm going to stop the elevator more nonchalantly than you no do you know that does anyone in the room know that okay I don't see that many trends I see the like you're so funny thanks blah blah blah but I there's a man okay I'm glad I didn't post this on TikTok yesterday but there's a trend that came across my desk called like we stop who can stop the elevator more nonchalantly and it's like about to close and someone just like puts a finger out and it like opens back up So I was doing that this weekend And I'm like

Oh I'm gonna like do like one large like grew type step into the elevator The elevator didn't stop as nonchalantly as I would have expected it to Taking my pants off again on the podcast if you're listening on audio Oh no Yeah I have to so it wasn't able to Oh they're coming all they're coming down Oh my god That's a really bad one too

Shut are you able to Are you in pain? Yeah it hurts so bad Oh Connor I'm sorry No it's okay but that was the end of the video Like it just like Boom

And then the video just cuts because I was like Mmm Like I'm surprised I'm not here With like a half a leg Right now Damn that's I'm really sorry about that No honestly But you probably could have sued TikTok

I might still For trend purposes. I might still see TikTok. Pop off King. It's so swan and it's so bruised. But that's why I don't do trends because you never know what injury I'm going to get anytime I try a trend. You try a trend and it might be the end. You have actually gotten a lot of injuries from doing trends.

Yeah, I know. A trend is not a friend of mine. No, it's not. But one good thing that came out of the New York trip was the billboard in Times Square, which was very pleasant. a billboard. That was the same spot that the B&C billboard was. It was such a perfect spot. It was me and Heidi Montag. Oh my God. That's fabulous. Right in between the Olive Garden and the M&M store. I don't want to be anywhere else. No. You physically went to the billboard one. Yeah, I did. I didn't realize it's literally on the part of Times Square that is like... Time Square. Time Square. Yeah. Like it's like at the thing. I don't know what you call it. But before that, we went to Keynes. Me and Hunter went to Keynes.

in Times Square and like we had a like a big night the night before and it was just like let's get canes today and then we'll go see the billboard the canes first of all you're in Times Square and like I feel like I'm going to get pickpocketed or stabbed and then we go into Keynes and it's like everyone every time you say canes like it's giving me complete full bodies it was so divine except for the fact that they had a DJ. They do have a DJ. They do have a DJ at that canes. A DJ playing like... The DJ has a residency at that cane.

Jack Harlow remake is. It was like, vanilla baby boom. It was like, I was like, whoa. And there was a woman. He started playing, hang on, let me do my belt. Sure. He started playing like dancing queen type song.

And there was a woman with all her kids. She was probably in her like early 50s. And like, like, her and she's like feeding her hand feeding her kids and she has a birthday crown on or just maybe a crown and she's going like fully dancing and I'm like oh my god like and I'm watching I'm like putting there's just like not an environment that I wanted to like I was like people forgetting this as a restaurant it's time it's time square too oh my gosh but time and like just because it's canes doesn't mean it's not time square but just because it's time you can't take the can's out of time square but

There is a second time. There is a second can's, and it's not in time square. You can take the Times Square. Hold on. You can take the Keynes out of Times Square, but you can't take the Times Square out of Cains. I don't know about all that. Because I happen to a Cains and there's a great dining experience. When it's in Times Square.

Huh? How come? Huh? So I woke up early enough because I'm still on Times Square time. And so I woke up pretty early this morning and I was like, I have time to do my stretches, which I'm trying to get into stretching. Well, first of all I listened, I started listening to Mel Robbins on accident

because all of the- Who's that? She is like a Brne Brown type beast. Brené Brown is who said clear as kind. Wow, nice. Look at us connecting the dots. Well, Mel Robbins, I think, is like a life coach-esque person. And she's like, there's like a five-second rule or something,

but she's like getting out of bed. Like when your alarm goes off, If you just count down five, four, three, two, one, and you get to one, you just get up. So. Easier said than done. Right. Well, I think that's the whole thing. Get up and you make your bed.

But she also said, like, I don't know where we are on cortisol levels. Like, are we, like, going to move past that at any point, or is that fact now? Which piece about the cortisol level? Like, are cortisol good? How come cortisol? Is cortisol high good or cortisol low good? bad. I think that's just true. What about low cortisol?

Awesome question. Yeah, we don't know. Do we? Can we look up cortisol so we can get to the bottom of it? That's their stress hormone. Okay, so you don't want it high. Right, that's when I had gotten my cortisol tested. The doctor said that he had seen similar levels on PTSD patients. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands located at the top of the kidneys. It plays a vital role in the body's response to stress and maintaining very yes physiological functions i hate google i ii because that doesn't help me at all thank you google ia cortisol is an essential hormone that affects almost every organ and achieve your body okay so basically what happens when you have low cortisol so yeah so i have high cortisol so like my metabolism is slow i'm tired i mean so you don't

want low cortisol what does low cortisol do i wish cortisol would just like pick its battles oh at Addison's disease. At Ray? You might like that. The adrenal gland. You might like like. Addison's disease. With Addison's disease, the adrenal glands make too little of the hormone cortisol.

But what happens when you have Addisons? Man, can we just like have one disease? Addison's disease. It starts slowly. Tell me what the symptoms are. Extreme tiredness, salt cravings, and weight loss. Oh. Okay.

Body hair. loss almost yeah that makes sense everything i have no you don't have addensens addisons it sounds like i do i'm tired right now because you're sleepy because it's january my favorite thing was like i have catholic guilt i was like i have a lot of catholic guilt which is weird because i'm not catholic and caleb here and was like that's just anxiety i was like oh i know i would love for you to get that lock in yeah i need to get an assistant to do all of the things that I've been talking about doing for. You need to hire Sodi.

And I'm not even kidding. She has literally Brett hired SOTE and she has gotten him so many doctor's appointments. Just like his car registered like so much shit. She has and she's gotten him like trash can't like literally. She got him trash can. From the city. That kind of trash can. Like literally just that shit that like you don't want to do.

Like it sounds like I'm being. That feels like the end of the world. Insane with parking tickets. Like she will literally just like be an assistant for like life tasks that feel impossible. She's so good at that. Yeah, I need it at this point. Okay, but cortisol. Everyone has it.

Oh, do we just want medium cortisol? Was that the answer? Okay. I think with everything, like how to achieve. We just want standard levels of it. I would love if there was just like a life like genuinely if someone had like a life thing like, hey, here's everything that you could do every day to just like maintain and then it what? Why is it not that simple?

Like, test all my levels. Tell me which ones are high and then tell me exactly what to do to get them back on track. I don't know. Like, obviously, I'm not a doctor. I'm sure it's a lot more challenging than that, but let's just do that. No? But like, why is it that challenging? And how come is it that challenging?

Because stop putting, like, we need to just give up on Mars. Mars isn't going anywhere. My cortisol levels are. I really want to get in that full body scan. I do and I don't. I know. I'm definitely scared of it. but I want to know.

Yeah. But you have to be in there for a minute. No. You really do. You don't if you don't go. You're totally right about that. But if you do, if you do go.

You need to be in there for a minute. How come? It takes a minute. Okay. Here's the thing. Sumil Robbins. Yes. Sorry.

You know, I love getting sidetracked. My badass. But I, she told me, you can't, You shouldn't drink coffee in the first two hours of waking up because it messes up. But it's like... That's a privilege.

But then like how do you go, you know? Right. No one can just like sit and like do yoga for the first two hours of waking up to get ready for their morning coffee. I think if you wake up earlier, like, you can't. I'm not. No one can wake up before I am and let's tell the tale. If you use her five, four, three, two, one. No, I'm honestly starting to get pissed at Mel. Mel can...

I'm almost really starting to get pissed at Mel. This is a Brne-Rown space only. I'm about the Brne-Brown. No, I like this is like we are Brunay stands in this space. Not listening to him out right now. Listen, listen, listen, listen. I am willing to try the coffee thing like I'll have a Celsius instead. That's worse for you.

I don't know about all that. I really do feel that way. We need. Coffee is at least like somewhat natural. Like Celsius to me tastes no different than Lysol. Oh, I F with C so bad. I get it, but I do think that like it's just so artificial that there's no way it could be better for you than coffee. We have to pick our battles of this short life.

I say as I put like six pounds of French vanilla creamer into my coffee. It's just hard to believe that something called Dunkin' Donuts is like, oh, that's natural. No, it's not. Black coffee from Duncan? Good and good for you. Okay. Listen. Yeah.

I'm on your side still. well but Mel is a new follow of mine so if I come in looking and acting a little bit put together and maybe more clear and maybe more intent Shun focused

oh oh then yeah maybe maybe Mel has had her way with maybe Mel has jumped my bones okay at the end of the day or at the beginning of the day when I've skipped my coffee before your coffee I would love for her to introduce an alternative to like okay

If you can't have coffee. And it's like, we're like fighting Mel right now. And Mel does not care if we live or die, truly, like does not know we're here talking about her. It's almost like she wants us to die. She wants just to pass on. Yeah. For sure. Yeah.

So let me know if you end up doing that. Do what? Pass on? No. Mel's advice. Mel has so much advice, though. Okay. The getting out of bed after five, making your bed and not having coffee for two hours.

I did it this morning, but I was at 7.30. 7.15. It was at seven. And you had, you're drinking coffee, you came in without coffee. I, I ordered, I ordered this coffee at 8.15, but I got a green juice with it. I don't think that Mel said that that's an alternative. She didn't. She said the first thing you put in your body should not be coffee.

You should wait two hours after waking up. The first thing I put in my body was a glass of water at seven. And then I walked and I got a green juice and I drank that on my walk back. and then on the Uber here at 830, I had my coffee. Okay, that seems like a more reasonable approach. Yeah, because I needed to be turned on for this, horned up for this podcast,

but then, like, I'm hoping not to have as much of a cortisol spike and crash. Do you feel a difference? My cortisol is really not, like, yanking me around by the pigtails right now, but who knows what could happen at right when you say yanking you around by the pigtails

what do you think of like chicken little for some reason but the movie chicken little I'm thinking of that scene from Matilda Matilda too yeah

where she's literally yanked being yanked around the pigtails throwing her into the choky here's one thing I'll say hell yes I was writing something

the other day uh huh yep I was writing something the other day. Just like this like inconsequential scene about like, you know, Phoebe. I'm familiar. Phoebe like seeing, uh, mistaking a celebrity thinking she sees a celebrity who's a young man and then it turns out like it's actually just a lesbian woman.

And I'll probably cut the scene because it's actually not even funny at all. But I really was like at first I put in like John Mullaney as the man that she saw. and then realized after that it was just a lesbian. But then I was like, I don't think you can see John Mulaney and be like, and get confused if that's a lesbian. And then that really got me thinking. Like, we're so quick to be like, oh, he looks like a lesbian. Listen, we're so quick to be like, oh, he looks like a lesbian.

And I feel like we're always saying that. But when push comes to chef, I couldn't think of one celebrity to use in that instance that looks like a lesbian. I sent you too. So I said John Malaney, I took a poll on my Snapchat. And everyone was like, not really, no. And then I was like, okay, how about Michael Sarah? And then everyone was just like, no, I think you're just thinking like little boys.

Yeah. And I was like, yeah, maybe. So who looks like a lesbian? Like Owen Wilson. No, Owen Wilson does not look like a lesbian. Completely. I'm looking around. Everyone agrees.

I have a good read on this. Justin Bieber in 2011. I have a good read on this because I look like a lesbian myself. I didn't want to say how many responses. me said Connor would but it was over 600 I know I know I know what I look like I know what I look like and it's a good thing I like literally Connor it's a great thing I know um you just you look young I know really good and wait I want to see who else I sent to you because it was good you said Owen Wilson and I said um Bill not Bill Hader no no I did not say Bill Hater I said no I did not say Bill Hater I said

Not Bell Hader. Crap. Who am I thinking of? Who am I thinking of? I can think of it. I can think of it. Hugh Grant and like... In like...

That I understand. Like a Catholic woman. Hugh Grant and let me look like Bridget Jones' diary. No. I was going to say... 100%. Hugh Grant and Bridget Jones diary looks like a total lesbian woman. I see.

see that. Like completely, completely. Yeah, like on the, all right there, on the right, on the right. The picture on the right. Yeah, yeah. No, one more to the left. Like the like nice swoopy hair. The middle part. Yeah. Yeah. I just, it. Yes, but it was interesting because when push comes to shove, I really couldn't think of anyone. But I feel like in the past, I'm so quick to be like, oh, he looks like a lesbian. Anyway. Anyway, um, I think that's a good thing to end on. Awesome. All right. Thank you guys for listening.
