before thursday it's gonna fucking kill me but granted we were going to see it on tuesday we were very ready to see on tuesday i went to the eye doctor and i wanted to hear about this experience so I went it was oh my god it was so easy it was Melissa it was 10 minutes from my home I was like that was fantastic I got I did street parking at a hospital crazy crazy um and uh I also was not I would say like there was a little bit of my car butt that was in a driveway like just a little bit oh and it was such a slow part of town that no one I was there in there for an hour and then i came out my car wasn't towed you said car butt and i was like what the fuck is that but yes the trunk the ass yeah the butt an ass and a butt are the same um and when they were doing my

appointment she was like okay so we're gonna dilate your eyes and she immediately goes oh your eyes are already pretty dilated and at that moment i should have said so can we just not do that because i was i said i was like i have very light sensitive eyes and then when she was doing it she's like oh yeah you don't have much pigment in here at all and i was like yeah i've heard that i have very very light sensitive eyes and i also take allergy medications uh i'm i have adhd i'm on adderall like my pupils are relatively large all the fucking time like all the goddamn fucking time um and that's that's also why like i have to turn all the lights on like i can't function in the fucking dark i can't and she put the drops in and she'd do like a couple of different kinds

of drops and when she was like oh do you need sunglasses and i was like no no i have i have some because all their prescription sunglasses and like they didn't put drops in and now i can suddenly see like i still need my prescription also and i tell you when i walked outside i was like do they think someone else is driving me home because what the fuck is this and i realized that i can see things far away i've got my glasses on my eyes are so fucking realized that no no but like my eyes were dying and i was like holy shit because i look at my phone and i'm like i'm drunk like i'm absolutely wasted i have the spins like i can't see anything like it's so bright and blurry and i was like i can't drive and then i like look up and i was like oh okay it's just the close-up

stuff like it's the high contrast close-up stuff that's getting bad and i still don't know if we should be driving in this situation no me neither but apparently you can and it was fine but it was so bright melissa it was so bright i was like tears are streaming down my face the entire car ride home she has like contact tears in the eyes don't think that's a way to be driving home like i said at the beginning it was only 10 minutes from my house i listened and i judged and you know where most accidents happen honestly that's within a mile this was more than a mile and you you had to still get within that mile to get home yes but let's we've been over this once i'm a fantastic driver you can't even deny that you've said that before unprompted i've been

in the car with you a time or two oh don't downplay it now you were fine shut the fuck up you're not your fiance i can tell you that and she means that in a derogatory way because i love that man to death that man is not the best behind the wheel um but melissa's lying she knows i'm a great driver but so i don't care if your vision is obstructed no no but the vision's not it's here up close you're you have tears in your eyes though oh no they're not saying they're they're they're dropping very easy but that's me every time i go outside because of the sun okay so it was it was it was fine but i was like i realized that i was like i don't think i've had my eyes dilated since high school like i don't think they didn't do it the last time i went to

an eye doctor appointment and i was like yeah i don't know that maybe they did it before i got lasik i don't think they did but like it has not i have not dealt with the aftermath of dilated eyes since high school and i get home what about when you did drugs well so that's a different kind of dilation because they feel different because you don't know your eyes are dilated like it's same way it was like when i take my allergy meds your eyes get dilated or my adderall or whatever your eyes get dilated that you don't even notice just to be clear you haven't done any drugs and never oh i've never done drugs in years no i really haven't they made me i did not like 10 years yeah and my tummy made me really and i already shit myself all the time and not like

my pants but like you know it's an emergency and there's no worse place than being in a fucking club in vegas shitting your brains out like that's just like it's not the vibe um but i get home and i'm like okay you know i'll i'll like have some lunch i'll drink some water i'll chill out uh do a little bit of work maybe because my computer like it's kind of far far away and then I'm like I can't read my phone I'm like really struggling and I'm like okay and then finally with my eyes squinted sunglasses indoors and my computer as far away as I can have it while I can still type I type in how long does eye dilation last and it says if you have brown eyes it can last from anywhere from an hour to four hours if you have blue eyes and sensitive blue eyes it can

last up to 24 hours and i was like you're fucking kidding me the way that nobody prepared me for the fact that like i'm gonna have to take an out of office day like i have so much shit to do i can't see anything granted it was very helpful for picking my skin could not pick my skin because can't see it too close too close but you do realize you just said i could barely see with my phone close to my face too no no but so this is what we'll get into though so i'm waiting all I'm waiting all day hoping it's gonna and it's like slowly like getting better but the thing that I had a hard time with was high contrast so a so a light and then everything else dark that was where it was like my eyes immediately start watering I can't keep my eyes open

and so I kept trying to turn on the tv with the lights off can't do it my head starts pounding I can't focus on it my eyes are watering and I'm like going into the hallway with all the lights off and then I'm like pulling my flashlight and like looking at my pupils trying to be like are they getting are they getting smaller mods i tell them lots i'm like we'll make a game time decision and i was like just you know we'll see how dilated my eyes are when you get home and he comes home and he was like hey chicken and i turn around he goes whoa and i was like wait i thought they were looking a lot better he goes they look so scary so because of that it also gave me a pretty bad headache and i was like i don't want to have a headache while i'm at wicked

or like have to like squint or avert my eyes or anything like that okay i forgot that this is where this was leading to wicked i was like what is the game plan like you don't leave your house but yes no no it was fine but i was just like i don't this is not if i've waited this on to see wicked this is like not how i want to do it so then we finally saw it last night and we'd also been waiting because we wanted we didn't want to be in a really crowded theater and then moths was like so i don't want to complain because i know that like we didn't want a crowded theater i could have done with a couple more people because we were one of it was us there were two other people and then one solo person who i think walked into the theater was in the wrong theater and then

left not when i think before the movie started it was us and like there were four people in total in the entire theater you don't have any real housewives watching with you no and so like i got annoyed when they weren't laughing and i was like wait they can't hear me laughing i can't hear them laughing because there's only four like there's four of us and we're so far away from each other so um yeah but I loved it Mott's loved it Mott's is addicted to Glinda he was like he literally keeps doing her little walk run and I was like he's like I think it's so funny he's like she was so funny and I was like oh my god I the way that I and I don't mean this as I actually someone could take offense to this because I'm offended I even thought this the way I was so

impressed with Cynthia Erivo and you could be like duh bitch but like it never occurred to me that she would be singing an american accent and like she sounds so young when she's like her whole performance i'm like because i'm not i'm familiar with her as a person i'm not familiar with her like work and consuming her work and so like when i've heard her sing i'm like yeah broadway voice i can tell she's british and i don't know the character she's just singing as cynthia arriva this forgot it was her like i was so fucking in it like she sounded like an like she sounded with like an american accent high school college age kid like you say that as if oz is in america no but like she's not she's what i mean is she doesn't sound like cynthia arevo she doesn't

sound like her specific british accent because like her voice is very specific she really disappeared into this and vocally which is crazy because that's because i know everyone's praising like i the entire time i was like that's ariana grande like cynthia arrivo i was like yeah it was she would completely her voice her speaking voice her um how she held in her face like all of those things were like not i couldn't see her in the role like she completely and like that has nothing to do with her being green like no no i just couldn't see cynthia it was just like she was the character you see elphaba she was phenomenal the emotion that she shares in her eyes the way that she

inhabits the space that she's in, you feel her. Like, you really feel the character. You feel, like, Elphaba feels very real to you, and it's so relatable. And I thought that she, like, it's,

like, she deserves all the awards, every single one. This episode is brought to you by Accenture. When your advertising operations fall out of sync, everything else follows.

Scotiabank, you're richer than you think. She was so phenomenal. And I never knew that there could be... She straddled such an amazing line between being over-the-top and theatrical for a movie musical.

Because we don't want the Mean Girls movie musical. You do want some of that theatrics while also not overplaying it, like while also having like that subtlety which is like not not to say that theater actors can't have that but like they often are not given the opportunity to do that and so like it's not usually in the front of their wheelhouse to be subtle in like because they're on stage acting for camera and acting for a stage is very different yeah so being able to have like the big performance and like do the physical comedy in a way that like still embodies like musical theater still embodies

like a stage performance while being subtle enough for film i was like this is so fucking impressed her like her physicality like all of it i was like this is insane i have to say the choreography i'm addicted to the choreography obsessed this it was so fucking good so fucking good and just like knowing so much of it has like practical effects like i thought was so great the the set design yeah like incredible all of it was just like it was so it was just so fucking cool i need jonathan bailey criminally i want i want my boyfriend i want my boyfriend to have a boyfriend like first of all his horse is his horse from bridgerton i don't know if you knew that his horse his horse look at that horse look at that horse

yes his horse is his horse from bridgerton so they're like the actual horse yes it's a horse that he rides and we should talk to bridgerton um he wait hold on do you think that when they were like coming up with the voice for the horse he goes i know this horse that's not how this because that's what i would do probably anytime mons wants to like give a voice for a stuffed animal if my guy go you don't know this one like i do let i'm so sorry the way he dismounted that horse and he clicked his little feet together i said like like the way a horse nade you made i was my cat purred when he grabbed that guy's face when they were like doing the dance and he like put his head and i couldn't tell if he was gonna snap his neck or like shove his head to

suck his dick and i was like this is so hot he was just he was the way he moved his oh my god charisma because because we we love him from bridgerton oh do we anthony eats a lot we love him from bridgerton we look i mean he's hilarious in chewing gum like this man when i realized that was him i was like that rumor makes sense like it all i was like that is him because i've seen that clip before i've never seen the full show but i've seen like scenes and stuff and i've seen that whole i think i might have seen that whole episode and i was like it is him yes and then the way that they both looked at each other him and elphaba i said oh okay like like the tension is there and i got it before i mean there's so much more to talk about with him but

also i would like to talk about another sexual tension between elphaba and belinda no oh the movie is inherently gay i but i've i think even the stage production i'm it's always pretty good i haven't read the book but i heard that in the book they do have a kiss i would not be surprised i've never seen an iteration of wicked where there is not a heavy overt sexual tension between elphaba and glinda like it's not an accident like it's that's to me that's like canon yes um but when ariana when galinda meets bach ariana and ethan slater i felt the sexual tension and in that moment i said i get it like it felt real moths had the exact opposite reaction when bach popped up and i say this with love to my man and i literally popped up and i say this

with like you know maybe a shred of um respect for ethan slater because he can sing and dance i don't i don't i don't have much respect for how he carried himself in that whole thing but like he popped up and mott's out loud physically and verbally went in his seat he was that's what you were supposed to do though but and then he was like that's that that's spongebob right and i was like of course why are you questioning it who else here looks like fun from when the two of them were talking i said okay i also saw a clip of bowen yang on his podcast saying like by the way he's like jacked and i was like oh did you see the look-alike contest you know there's been a lot of them popping up do you see the zendaya one that one piss poor but this one the ethan slater one

the one the guy that won legit looks just like i didn't know there's more of them around and he is ripped like he and so he wore bigger clothes but like that dude and he can do the that face you know what face i'm talking about he can do it he won wow like people were like he legit looks like him well he's also short so more often you're going to see really ripped guys who are short because proportion wise they can build muscle as opposed to anyone and you'll find that in like anyone who's smaller you could build muscle more than you can there so i could see that let's not minimize the what you know the work that he's a dancer no that's what i'm saying so like he to me i'm like oh he must that must be like we refer to him as spongebob but i'm like oh

this man must be like an incredible like consistent worker on broadway in dance heavy shows like he has to be you just don't have the time to get that ripped while being on broadway if your show if you're trying to do that outside of your work like there's so i'm like oh he's got to be very good yeah and this guy the one also can sing oh maybe they're related it's patrick spongebob patrick no it's what is the with spongebob when he becomes is it flat stanley doodle doodle bug doodle i don't remember spongebob can't tell you the last time i watched a spongebob episode doodle bob it's like flat stanley i remember what you're talking about but it is a flat stanley of yeah spongebob he's doodle bob um but i yeah i just thought it was so so just so fucking

great i didn't cry as much as like everybody talked about like crying i cried in the um dr dilleman scene when he knocks out like when they write that on the board um um i cried i definitely cried inside and oh i cried in the oz dust ballroom oh and then i think i teared up at um some of the stuff when she was younger just because that dad played so cruel so well yeah um but yeah i didn't sob everyone's like you're gonna i didn't sob one because i'm a thug but uh two because um i don't cry in front of my mother i saw this on thanksgiving and i was sandwiched between my mother i was sandwiched between my mother and lisa rena if you haven't listened to that episode um and uh my mom was over there boohooing lisa was also

crying and cheering like i was living for her reactions i love that see that's what moth was looking for lisa rana to be in our audience he was like i needed i needed that um but i thought it was good moth i loved watching it with him because he's never seen it he also put on the soundtrack this morning and because i had told him because i asked him what his what song was his favorite and he loved um he liked he liked to find gravity he goes she can really sing and i was like yeah yeah you have to be able to sing to do that song it's the hardest song and he but he like loved popular too but i told him i was like i do think no offense anyone i think christian the original version there's like i think dancing through life i like jonathan

bailey's version better but like for popular i do like christian chenoweth's version better i like the end that they changed for this one better but I do like Kristen Chenoweth's version better and so I told Motsat and I woke up and he was listening to it while doing dishes did you feel what I felt where I was like there were parts where it felt like Ariana was trying not to do an impression of Kristen yes I think that that is the that's like the hardest part about because on broadway you're supposed to be the there's certain things you can like stray away from especially on songs and stuff but like yeah and i think for her impressions are her bread and butter exactly knows her so like i think it was a

little bit harder yes because i've even seen her like just in conversation just talking about people she knows and she'll just slip when she's quoting them she'll slip into their accent it sounds just like them every time um but um yeah it was just sometimes it just felt like when she would do that that kind of like growl that kristen chenoweth does she it was like oh wait i need to pull back a little i thought she did an incredible job oh yeah yeah but i you know i i'm i'm a fan of ariana's acting as i have said on but am i wrong oh yeah no she's great did you see kiki palmer do her ariana grande impression i don't think so kiki didn't and it sounded just like ariana and i was like oh we need these i need these two girls and one of those impression shows

i need both of them together because they've known each other forever she's talking about going to ariana grande's i think sweet 16 yes and that's the clip when she's talking about it oh then i must have seen it then no no no i did see it because she went up because the thing is if you haven't seen it um ariana had patty labelle come out at her 16th birthday party and kiki is like yeah so take me why yeah it's not we're not having the pussycat dolls perform it's not britney spears it's look who's coming right and patty labelle is an icon a legend ariana loves her they've been together on multiple things together she had ariana i mean ariana had patty come and like they sang a duet and it was incredible but kiki was like we are 16 we are 16

why like most of these people probably don't even know who patty labelle is but i loved it i personally loved it it was incredible iconic patty labelle famously calls her that little white black girl that was like what kiki was saying she was like using ariana grande going up there like this is a girl from like boca raton and she's got like a lot of like white kids at her sweet 16 and she just pulls up the bell and it's like oh oh okay but this is why you know ariana is like at aretha franklin's funeral singing because she is respected by the icon because she she can fucking sing yes that girl can blow she can wholeheartedly hear that it's your money calling

want and you need like it felt really grand it's a movie that feels like a movie but it also has the it has the ability to like you can watch it and soak it all in at once but then you can also watch it and then like look at the little things in the background yes it doesn't feel overwhelming in the way that sometimes they can try and stuff a movie music like a musical all into a movie and they're just trying to do it and i think that's why long like i was gonna say and that's why i think part two doing that is great because like it it gave it room to breathe and i was telling mox too that i was like well it happens in the if i'm not i don't think i'm wrong but it happens the same point that intermission does yes and there's a time change and so like you it's like

this is not like it doesn't pick up immediately after you left off like there has been time and so for an intermission when you have 30 minutes or whatever yeah 30 minutes 30 minutes you have 30 minutes when you have that time you have time to digest and process it and so when it has the time jump you're like that makes sense but in a movie you can't just have like a screen that says this much time later like it doesn't have the same effect and so i think like the part two is genius and because i don't feel like i didn't feel like anything was left out of this it just felt like more like it felt like nothing was missing they had just given us more and i loved bowen and i'm dying at all of the times that bowen is not on camera like you can't see his mouth

moving and they kept the audio of things that he said thinking that he was gonna be off and i was like i could it never crossed my mind that he would literally not it would be the back his back that's i told you i don't know why i think it was like i forget i knew it happened in the i don't see color but then it happened like in two other times and i was like oh you were like it's a lot i'm sure he was like oh i'm in this movie a lot more than i thought i was gonna i also um thought jeff goldblum was i'd fold for him too yeah that's that's pretty common yes i literally have a framed photo of him from the 90s i believe where you want to see it i'll go grab it where is it

where is it where do you keep it don't worry about that oh it's in her panty drawer it's just her panties and picture of jeff goldblum and her vibrators oh that's a very professional photo it's a limited edition like one of something i have a uh like certificate for it where did you get this at an auction no it was a gift because someone knew that i love him um i i love this man i've loved him all my life um much like i love dick van dyke oh speaking of he had to evacuate right around his birthday i know but he said we're having fun he's safe that's all that matters he is i ended up on a dick van dyke tiktok rabbit hole and i felt like you he was talking about his son and his son is like 70 years old and i was like

this is crazy like i my family does not have those kind of genetics and so like i am unfamiliar with that concept at all you know like watching the behind the scenes of Coldplay the um music video that he just did with him yeah I saw him and he has said that uh Chris Martin has said that he was like yeah his son who's there was like seven he was like can I turn on the pool yeah I'm like that's crazy but like hey love that for people like that's congratulations if you want to live that long i hope you do live that long and if you don't want to live that long i hope you don't live that long he's you know he's still funny making jokes still dancing around was on days of our lives no that's genetically that's like incredibly impressive i'm like study study

that for science because again that is not my genes we don't got that like that's that's lovely so yeah i just like i loved it and i want to i want to see it again and i just want to listen to the music and mott says mott will literally always be like and he's done this for the last like two weeks so like sing me one of the songs from wicked and i'm like you should know i can't even earnestly try to sing any of them because they're so fucking hard and unfortunately sir i do know every word so i can just recite the entire song to you but i have still been doing it and but in this day and age where we have music literally at our fingertips so he wants me to sing it why does he want you that is love that is truly love marry that man legitimately all the time

oh so anytime he's reading a book he goes let me read it out loud to you and i'm like i'm okay if i'm reading something he goes you'll be read out loud to you i'm like i'm good does he want to come narrate a book that i direct an audio book he probably would love that you have to work with him on getting uh farther away from the mic for his peas but and also his breathing yes we are working that all all the time i love that man to death i am constantly telling him i need you to stop doing this weird breathing thing that you're doing i forgot that you know we've talked about multiple times how we both do not like people's hot breaths on us if you we feel your breath that means you're too close and you've said you've said that you've said that to mods but i legitimately

forgot that he is a mouth breather so this is just your life which i'm like sir i don't think this is helping your anxiety or your stress levels he does this thing where he like hold his breath but he holds it for as long as possible and then breathes out and that's just how he breathes and that's also how i breathe but i when i'm around people i'm aware that i need to control it that's also how my father breathes too it's not good for your i can't imagine it is good for your and he'll be like i'm just like so anxious and i'm like how are we don't hold our breath like i think that's like i think that could really really help and so we all i always work on that with him or i just go breathe out just match how i'm breathing breathe out i've learned that's part of the reason why i

always sit up straight because then i'm more aware of it and so that keeps it keeps the breathing going but it's a common like me and my dad my dad just you hear him like that's whenever we do impressions of him that's what we do i can't do i can't and i'm like i love him to pieces but i literally would like breathe normal breathe normal breathe normal breathe normal it was so good it was so good i haven't i really want to go see it again but i've been so busy um i'm hoping because i'm leaving for arkansas tomorrow um i'm hoping that i will have time to go see it again i know i won't be going to with my niece audrey because she said it was good just too long i won't be back for part i feel like she likes the monkeys i feel like she would

have loved the flying monkey well does that happen in the second one what happened in this one no no but doesn't she take like have like oh when they become part of her yeah probably i could see her loving that and then just being like this is because like visually wise she's now in that by that time she'll be almost 12 like they're in that like teenager she's no longer in her spooky she is very much still in her spooky era but by the time they she might not be not um not her director oh okay because yes should we explain to people what her she was m night yeah she i mean she still loves to do that kind of stuff but i just think now that she's older and yeah the music is social media she doesn't do it but yeah this girl loves to keep an accent

right now she's been in her um very deep south southern accent phase and that's all how she talks now um and it's been going on for about six months she had a phase before where she was um just talking in a british accent but sometimes she would do the posh accent she was trying to do that um love island yeah the love island makeup effect which she captured very perfectly because she's made for the theater no she's just not musical theater yeah no she's a fucking star she's also like she is she's not bossy she's the boss she's like big director energy and like anything that has like henchmen or minions or like someone where it's like okay now you these people do whatever you tell them to do i was like oh she's gonna love that yes and so she um made

she's made several little short films that are very so many scary um and she's very good at she loves wednesday starring her siblings where she forces them to hide in small spaces uh-huh when she is wednesday like wednesday adams that is who she is she did text me yesterday and she was like who like when we're on the phone she's at the face now we're on the phone she doesn't really want to talk but she'll say hi like she's very kind but she just doesn't want to talk and um but she texted me like yesterday and she was like um when you come um can we go uh shopping like we did last year i said of course and she's like and then i want to go to chili's after i'm a date i'm obsessed with her she's so funny yeah but her little films are very good like she's very good

at it but with the love island stuff she was doing like a posh british accent and i told her no no no go watch some adele videos she came back she had perfected that because she's an artist like she's so about that so i wonder i think maybe she's older she'll get back into the musical they'll cool again but i could see her just like loving the elf above it all yes the sorcery but yeah that was my review of it i thought it was so fucking good and i can't wait to watch it again me too i also think all the hate for nessa is unnecessary like i get it but she's do you remember what happens in part two oh i know what well so that's the part that i think like don't hate her that much now like right you can find her like save it save it because like it's not earned yet

like you know you can find her the same way that you can look at when people were like wait does ariana play the villain i'm like yeah like do you what do you mean the the the suspended disbelief of like thinking of of galinda as like still a good character in part one but then automatically being like well nessa's all evil i'm like okay we've gotten the same level of we know what's coming right galinda's i think they've been worse we've seen she is worse because galinda is performative like in a transactional we've seen more of it on she only is nice to elphaba when elphaba starts doing nice things for her like it's well and when it's benefiting her exactly yeah and nessa it's just like i've always been in the shadow of my sister i've never like been

able to just have my own thing i thought going to school was going to be my thing and now it's not i'm not i'm not having an experience that's just mine yeah it's the plight of the golden child like being like being put on that pedestal the pedestal is better than being in alpha buzz position but it doesn't come without repercussions on that but um yeah i'm like glinda we've already she's shown her hand in this anessa has like there's been hints to it but everyone's like i hate Nessa already and I'm like okay come on you can't say you're holding out to hate Galinda until the second one and already hating Nessa Rose right now I was also like like the way that everybody is freaking out over little Nessa and she literally says one word no she says two yes and no and I was

like whoa you like when people were like oh my god like an absolute icon and like I kept seeing these videos of people just like having her say yes and no like literally like just being like do and i was like okay well i guess and then i saw it i was like she's in one scene she's cute but like what's it's a child it was chill get this child off a press tour she needs to go to school like she needs to play she needs to play with her friends like and like having all these adults say the word say the word i'm like okay this is not because like at first i was like oh she's a child actor and i was like okay no she's an act a child who acted in this like she might be acting or whatever but like this is not this isn't like she was matilda in matilda like she did this one

thing i was like oh my god but i do like at the premiere she had on the slippers and um the little striped um tights i thought that was cute it was very cute and she was she's adorable i loved i thought it was great casting for both of the little the little ones yeah the little elphaba she um her and her actual like friend that they've been friends all their lives her friend was a munchkin and so they've been doing a little um they've been doing a little press stuff in the uk oh i love that oh i loved it but yeah it was just so good and i am a fan and i loved that mods loved it he was like that's my favorite movie musical i've ever seen and i was like okay well low bar but he said he'd be interested in seeing the stage play too

Yeah, I am too, like seeing it again now because I wanted to see it like now in comparison of what I've seen the movie. The result?

And the woman goes, are you Ludacris? You're Ludacris. And I just know that she was like, first of all, don't lie on my name. I've known you were ludicrous this whole time. Don't tell your people that nobody knows you're ludicrous. I, sir, was being polite. I know you're ludicrous. I just, I thought we weren't talking about it.

If you want to talk about it, let's talk about it. You're ludicrous. I'm sure when he cut the camera, they actually talked about it. But I just thought that was hilarious because there's, I think he does this on purpose because there was another video of him walking through the airport and he had a mask on, of course. and i think it was during the pandemic and he's like nobody knows i'm ludicrous or something like that he was wearing a ludicrous shirt luda baby i love that first of all that man is the most

distinctive voice in the world secondly i would say also the shape of his head well i was gonna say specifically i don't need to see the nose if i can see eyes to the top of the noggin i know it's ludicrous like i will probably be able to tell from like nose down but if you give me a look at that egg i know in seconds that's ludicrous and the way that he was chatting him and that woman because he was very he was upset that he got um yeah he was looking forward to civic duty yeah as i do too and i and i bring this up anytime um jury duty is uh brought up because i had the same thoughts before because people think of jury duty as such like impeding on your time and you don't want to be there as your civil duty like it is important to

do jury duty because think about who people that are being put on trial are and you want to be that voice to be there to fairly judge who they are i think the luigi trial is going to have a massive shift in how people view jury duty because people want to be on the jury for that like sentence like for that case like specifically and i think i hope that that leads people to be like oh because people are learning about jury nullification and i'm like i i'm hoping that this is because like you changed my mind with that when you talked about that before and i think that that this court case will also help with that but um yeah ludicrous you aren't fooling anybody luda luda i love i i love it i love a ludicrous that woman she was just like walking beside they

clearly had like became friends you know it was his jury duty buddy and um they were walking out and she's like i've known who this man was this whole time but then when he said nobody knows who i am she's like yeah this is my time to just yeah she goes hold up oh yeah take a step back i know i was like i love i loved that because she was like clearly being polite and she's like i'm not going to you know blow your spot up and also like this is just a man you're just a man like you're just a guy and like you're having we're here for the same yes goal and like i i i don't want you to feel bothered i don't want anyone to bother you wearing a mask like you know there's those things and so it's like i'm gonna i know but like i'm gonna respect i'll play into this fantasy i'll

but like don't lie don't pretend i don't know don't look don't think so low of myself so yeah i thought that was so funny did you see that ray gun someone was doing a musical speaking of musical someone was doing a musical based on her and then she had it shut down it did hilarious because she also says that she has a trademark for the kangaroo dance and to that i say to me that's all you need to dance is a stretch first of all well also like at that point if i was like the australian prime minister i would be like this is blasphemy like the way you as an australian cannot claim copyright over the movements of one of the animals that is like literally solely associated with australia this is a quick shout out to sarai you know it's like if someone

would say like oh americans doing that with bald eagles but i think it's different because i think australians are familiar i think most australians have seen a kangaroo most americans have never seen a ball no bald eagles are it's on i've seen it on our money the thing is even the noise that we associate with bald eagles it's not a bald eagle noise no we know nothing about bald eagles no like we need to like any america as a nation we don't associate ourselves with bald eagles as like a people other people not from america are like oh yeah america loves bald eagles no america loves applebee's we love we love making jokes about it yes but we love screeching we love but like i can't do it but i will insert the the noise here yeah but like that's also if you were

also under the impression similar to soraya that the reason why we had sunroofs was because if the birds fell on our cars specifically our our nation's bird the bald eagle because you know bald eagles are just dropping out of the sky onto your roof all the time it's actually not the reason why we have a sunroof it's for the sun it's for a nice breeze it's called that yep yep yep which i love and the idea that you're in a convertible you're just like risking your life every single day that like you're talking about me no anybody in well both of us find convertibles but like i thought you were specifically talking about me because i do how many days out of the week are you gonna have a bald eagle fly and never never even had a bird

flying over me no never even seen a bald eagle in the with my own eyes the most bird activity i get are those annoying as birds outside of my home that will be descending upon me in about three hours yeah there is an epidemic of i don't know what these birds are i've had them in my place in la where they start midday and they go through for my place they went through the night it was morning no chirping they stop about like six and then they come back yep they're the way that like you think of like a oh in the morning or like a chirp chirp of the birds it is the loudest bird you've ever seen they're fight they're squabbling they're all yelling at each other in the middle of them like in the middle of the night and i'm like what are we doing here

but to close out this episode i would like to hold space for the whole space of them explaining the holding space mods during the entire movie kept grabbing my finger and tapping it like like like she did and every time even if i'm crying he would never hold my hand he just it was the automatic go-to because he wanted to be there for you but he didn't know how to be there exactly so watching john m2 like literally this guy's like crossing his legs he's about to piss his pants he's laughing so fucking hard and ariana being like yeah i didn't know what was going on i died i don't know how many times i've watched this now it's because the whole thing it was weird like it was weird the the lady that was doing the interview she is

playing into it now too i think she had like a brand deal with mac maybe i forgot what it was but she was holding space with them yes oh love that that's very on brand for mac mac looks to be on top of that shit um but them explaining how like ariana was like i had no idea what it was and then cynthia was like i didn't either but i felt like i should well she was like i thought i understood and then she kept talking and i realized i didn't understand and then when she was like because i'm in queer media and cynthia was like am i in queer media ariana was like i i think we're i think it was giving victoria i think we all say i think we're all in queer media but when she goes i've i've seen it i died like it is just so funny and like watching it back now

knowing that ariana is like i don't know what's going on here but like i i i'm in the wrong like i'm i i had a brain fart moment and like i missed something and like i need to be present and you just see like in her eyes she's just like she's performing the compassion like in the sense of being like i need to be here i miss something but i have to yes it's like spacing out for the first 15 minutes of a lecture and then like being like uh-oh or something before when someone tells you their name and you go i can't go back and ask what their name was but like i have to overcompensate being so incredibly present because like now i feel like shit because i missed that right five minutes and i'm addicted and the fact that it is like she technically it's out me it's

out magazine now i was like yeah queer media but like but they didn't we could have been a little more specific and said i'm here with the outlet out yes we all know but that killed me so i um i loved it me too and hold space for us hold space for the podcast yes uh join us on monday for but am i wrong tuesday for see you next tuesday thursday for don't blame me and then We'll be right back here for Fisting Friday.
