This is a HeadGum Podcast.
We've been chit chatting, yapping for a minute, and when asked about the message of the film,
all I could muster was, friends are life.
What's this movie about, Kiernan?
Friends are life?
Friends are life.
Not friends are for life.
No, friends are for life. We kept it simple, man.
What's that movie?
That party last night was awfully crazy.
That party last night was awfully fucking crazy.
I wish we taped it.
I wish we taped it.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I love College by Ashara.
No, I need it.
No, was it in Project X?
You don't know the song? Freshman, freshman, do need it. No, was it in Project X? It's, you don't know the song?
No.
Freshman, freshman, do something crazy.
You know what?
This would have been a good song for Sweethearts actually.
Damn it.
It's what Jordan posted of us outside that party and that's the song.
Oh, was that the audio?
Was that the audio?
Damn.
Cool.
Kiernan not locked in on I Love College.
Shoot.
Are we rolling? Damn. Wow! We're locked in on I Love College. Shoot. Are we rolling?
Damn.
Wow!
Wow!
We're on So True.
Hi baby.
With Kiernan and Nico.
So true.
You guys are so cute.
You're so cute.
I love you too.
You know what, I'll tell you a secret.
What?
I don't know if I've told you guys this impressed you,
I don't know.
We've done a little press for the movie already.
When this episode comes out,
the movie will have been out for a week.
Really?
So we can, without,
I wanted to do that so we could talk about anything
in the movie.
Spoils it. No spoils.
Yeah.
Amazing.
It's all able to be spoiled.
So if you're watching this right now and you haven't seen the movie, know that we might
talk about stuff that's happened, so go watch it right now.
I don't know why I turned to the wrong camera.
I'll turn to mine.
When I got this part in Sweethearts, I was so nervous to meet you guys.
What?
I was like, what if Kiernan and Niko don't like me?
Because you guys have already been...
You know?
I will say, I actually don't think I've told you this,
but when you got cast, I immediately
texted a very personal, deep, just like important group chat
of mine.
And we were freaking out about the fact that you got cast.
Is Sam in it?
Sam is in it.
I knew Sam would be in there.
Yeah, it's three of my buds and me and it's my most chaotic group chat and we were losing
it because we exchanged Caleb content.
Come on.
So it was really big for my crew.
I was like, what if these hot young movie stars don't want to hang out with me all summer?
Stop. Stop. Then what will I do? I'm just a clown. Well the opposite happened. We fell in love. We did fall
Do you think people think we're faking it?
There's haters out there
They can pick up on that kind of stuff. They know that we're real. They know real chem
They know they know a trio when they see it. I think so. We're super dank. We're super dank
We're super dang. This could be the new Charlie's Angels
Yeah, yeah
Someone take note. Hollywood do something about it. Am I sitting weird on this?
Do I look weird on this fucking thing? Does Nico look weird?
Do I look weird on this fucking thing? Does Nico look weird?
Do I look like...I don't know
Really?
Bring your mic down a little bit, Nico
Oh, wait, I can bring her to me
Pull it down so it's not in front of your face
Bring it...yeah
Stunning
There you go, brother
There's no chance you're gonna end the
and you pulled it further away
Fuck me,. Oh!
I'm not good at this shit.
How many podcasts have you guys done in your lives?
I've done one.
Really?
Uno.
Really?
What pod was it?
Bridge to Bridge podcast, shout out to Bay Area.
Nice!
Let's go!
Big Mike, you know, we talked about, you know, just SF shit.
Cool. Right on. I did not know you know, just SF shit, dude. Yeah. Cool.
Right on.
I did not know you were from San Francisco until right now.
What?
It's never come up.
It's never come up.
You never talk about it.
So good.
Do you know that he skateboards?
Nico skateboards?
Yeah.
No, Nico.
He's actually really good, too.
Before you got here, Kiernan and I took a bet on what
You're So True would be for the episode.
And my guess was that You're So True would be like, I love skateboarding in the bay. That's what I thought You're So true would be for the episode. And my guess was that you're so true would be like,
I love skateboarding in the bay.
That's what I thought you're so true would be.
Simple.
Simple, keep it simple.
You just ruined his so true.
If that was the one, that'd be sick.
Wait, what did, oh, it was Friends are Life.
Friends are Life.
Do you wanna tell people about Friends are Life?
Yeah, I mean, we were, so we were doing a little bit
of Sweetheart's Press in Savannah because we were at SCAD,
which was so fun, by the way.
It was so fun.
Shout out to SCAD.
I love Savannah.
I love Savannah.
I love those students.
I ate some fried banana peppers that changed my life.
Wait, you know what I went, what I did?
What?
I went to the gas station.
Oh my God, the gas station chicken tenders, yeah.
And I got the chicken tenders. Of the lifetime, the gas station chicken tenders. Yeah. And I got the chicken tenders.
Of the lifetime.
Oh, they were so good.
Yeah.
It was genuinely one of the better chicken tenders I've ever had.
I never got them.
And it was just, oh, we got to go back.
I know.
I never got them.
But it was amazing.
They were hyped to me.
The bell peppers or banana peppers were really good.
Where did you get fried banana peppers?
What was that place called, Nico?
It's like a block from the telly.
Some bar from the place.
But the fried banana peppers were killer.
Because it's like a fried pickle, kind of.
Yeah, but...
I guess in a way.
Like zingier.
What is a banana pepper pre-pepper?
Or pre-pickle?
Like what is...
One more time?
Run that back?
Wait, run that back for me.
What is before the banana pepper gets pickled, right?
Is a banana pepper pickled?
Well, that's not.
It's natural.
Is it?
Not? Is it? It feels like sour in it it feels like sour what's happening with banana
peppers can someone look this up they're well they've been they've been
adulterated
natural no well I'm wondering are banana peppers and pepper and chinis
interchangeable well they're definitely cured or...
Okay, we have it up.
So they're just regular peppers and then put into...
Something. A brine, right?
No, that's just pickled banana peppers.
Oh, no.
Could they be pepper and chinis versus banana peppers?
What's the difference?
It's just like a naked banana pepper.
They're not the same.
I don't feel like we see them in the wild.
Oh, the text could not be smaller.
Oh, no....that are thrown around interchangeably and it's hard to know what. I don't feel like we see them in the wild. Oh the text could not be smaller. I know
Move on this part's not interesting chance, and then we went to move on this is just the intro that one time
Scroll oh my god
Okay, keep scrolling brother. This is not what we need to see
What else in here? Oh, so that's been that's been pickled the Scoville. Do you guys know about Scoville?
Yeah, Scoville Scoville is like scales this heat scale. Yeah for God. I got it
They're both yellow. They're both mild, but they're not the same. Oh
Whoa, like pepper and Cheney. They're commonly served pickled. Yo, so you're right
I got it. The sweet peppers are native to Hungary.
Okay.
Hungarian hot wax peppers.
What?
That.
That sounds mani-
That's sick.
I've never heard that and I love that.
It sounds like it would kill me, I love it.
Are banana peppers hot?
Okay, well we've had enough of banana peppers.
We just cruise from friends our life to-
Oh wait, yo.
All the way down. We gotta get back.
Oh gosh, what a spender.
So we're doing, that is the show though. That is what happens on here every week. I love it. I love down. We gotta get back. Oh gosh, what a change-up. That is the show though.
That is what happens on here every week.
I love it.
We gotta get back to, we're doing press for the movie.
We're doing press.
We're doing the LA Times.
We are on a Zoom with the LA Times.
We have been brought into a very chilly room
to do a Zoom with the LA Times,
and it's going well.
Everything is smooth.
We're all articulating our points beautifully, I would say.
We're waxing poetic about friendship.
I mean, it's gorgeous.
And then I get asked a question along the lines of
what does this movie mean?
What's the message?
And we've been doing press for a second.
I think I was either over caffeinated or underfed or something was going on where my brain was not operating
Full speed college we cruised we cruised we've been chit chatting yapping for a minute and
When asked about the message of the film all I could muster was friends are life
What's this movie about? Kirsten?
Friends are life.
Not friends are for life.
No, friends are our life.
We can't do simple man.
And the interviewer thought we were being mean to you too.
The interviewer was like, I liked friends are life.
She was like, no no no that was great.
No it was beautiful. We're like no we agree. It's just funny.
She was being sweet. And it was beautiful. We're like, no, we agree. It's just funny. She was being sweet. Friends are life.
And it was definitely life with a Y.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, friends are life.
That was friends are life.
Yeah, baby.
Who, who are, okay, who's your guys',
who's your number one best friend in the world?
Whoa.
You have to pick.
Who's your number one best friend in the world?
Mom and pops.
Your mom and dad, equal tide.
Yeah.
He's true about you.
Yeah.
I had a night out with, you know about this, but I had a night out in San Francisco with Nico and his parents
So sick dude, I don't know
Detail. Oh, I'll give you the details. I would love. I'll get show wait Nico show them the picture of me and your dad cuddled up
All cute on that. Yeah, I'm 100. We both have the same little contact info or picture for Caleb. Oh, they're so cute
I got the most drunk I've ever. Look at them. Show the camera.
They're so cute. Getting out.
Check that out, guys. Check it.
You know what though? We went to an after party in Savannah that had bacon wrapped dates.
I had eight of them. Where were they?
They served bacon wrapped dates and grilled cheese.
Wait, where? At the hotel after party the rooftop after the hello
I didn't know that little grilled cheeses had four oh my gosh
yeah in another room though in on the rooftop next to the band outside
elevator you take a left and but you kept going right. Oh, I never took a left. And then, but we went right. I know.
I ran into, pfft.
In the bar.
All the listeners are like, okay, okay.
Wait, who's your best friend?
My, well, I mean, mom.
Mom is Bessie.
Your mom is so good.
Mom is Bessie, and then I also think of
my childhood best friend.
We were still close.
I don't see her nearly as much, but I knocked on her
door because I knew that a six year old lived across
the street.
I was also six at the time.
And I was like, Hey, I heard we're in the same age
range.
We should be best friends.
And we really were.
And I still, when I think best friend, I think of
Tula Goodman.
And she's awesome.
She's where, I mean, we're still neighbors.
She's still, you door knocks the friends and you
were six. Well, I, we're still neighbors. She's still- You door knocked for friends when you were six?
I did.
I didn't go to school, so.
I had to like really go for it.
That makes me wanna cry.
The idea of, I'm actually gonna cry.
The idea of little you like walking up to a door
and knocking and be like,
I heard you guys have a six year old here.
Perhaps she'd like to be my friend.
Yes, I had to proposition people because, because I didn't have a school social structure.
That's so you've always had that confidence.
I mean, maybe it started then.
That's so I don't know if it's all confidence, but I do I do actually think that I have I
developed a knack for finding the people that I wanted
to be friends with because I didn't have like a built in, oh this is my friend group now
because I'm at school.
And I think it's carried on in adulthood where when I see someone and I like them, I like
make a very active effort to have them in my life if they're down.
You're really good at friendship.
Yeah, and you're good at the group chat you're very
You're committed. Well you make it easy you both do friendship in a different way, but you're both really good at it
Yes, like you're quick to dinner. Yeah, you're quick to be like hey seven o'clock this restaurant come if you want
I invited five people that you'll love yeah, I love that you do that Nico
We were just talking about this off-camera Nico with the facetime Nico Nico's gonna hit you with a beautiful little facetime
It's so true
I love FaceTime. I'm just like bro like texting takes so long
Yeah, like I like just let's just talk you're real. Yo, where you at? I'm here. Okay word
Period next question
Would have taken like three minutes over text. Yeah, it was that fast. Yeah
You guys both
It's interesting. We were kind of talking in Savannah. We did that master class for the college students
I do think it's funny that they called it a master class that always cracks me up a little bit
I love it, but we all came to acting from very different places. Yeah
Tell me a little bit about how?
Kiernan, how did you I mean? I think most people know you were in Mad Men when you were a literal baby baby child.
This is true.
What year did you start Mad Men?
I was, I was six in 2006.
Yeah.
When I became a little Mad Men-y, Mad Men-y.
Mad Men-y stuff.
What did you say?
You said it on the podcast.
Oh who was saying that they love Mad Men?
Mad Meniac.
Oh Mary Beth loves Mad Men.
Mary Beth was a Mad Meniac.
Yeah she's a Mad Meniac.
Oh that was really cute.
But no, I came out to LA for pilot season, got a pilot.
It did not get picked up.
But whilst waiting for the news in either direction,
I auditioned for Mad Men.
And then what was gonna be three months of,
oh, let's let's you know
Oblige this six-year-old child who's begging to come out to LA it became my whole life. Yeah
Crazy come to LA from where?
I'm a Chicago lady. Yeah, so you before that was- You started doing it when you were six, and you've been doing it for so long now.
Yeah.
Do you still love it?
I do.
More, actually.
Because I can bring more of myself to it now.
I mean, I feel like when I was a kid, I loved it.
Like it was so, so playful, so fun.
I was never overthinking anything.
It was just like pure joy, what I was meant to be doing. And then my love for it never wavered,
but it's gotten stronger as I know more of myself now.
I feel like I can bring a lot more to my work
in a way that feels really cathartic and nice.
And I just, I always wondered,
oh, is there ever gonna be a point
where I don't like this as much?
And it's the total opposite.
Every single year I get more stoked on it.
Yeah. More hungry.
It was, I'm starving.
Starving. I'm starving for the work.
I'm starving.
It was really fun watching you on set.
I definitely, I mean, I'm inspired by both of you
in so many ways and Nico, I wanted in a second
to ask about how you came to acting, but Kiernan,
I was, there was a moment at the Lake House lake house we filmed there's a big lake house component to
the movie and there was a moment where you were talking to Jordan and I've I've
acted a little bit I'm like decently new to it compared to someone who's been
doing it for so long and you the way that you were interacting with Jordan
was so collaborative and so like you were really advocating for your
character and being like I just don't think she would feel this way like I
don't think that this is what would be going on
in this moment.
And Jordan was like, cool, cool.
So like, and Jordan is such a good director.
She was really like exploring that with you.
But I was so inspired by the way that you like advocated
for your character and like took it seriously.
I thought it was so cool.
And I really, I took a mental note.
I was like, Kiernan's good at this.
And that's what someone who's good at this does.
So I took that away.
I appreciate that.
It's fun.
It's fun to like get to know a person you're playing to the point where you can go, oh,
I think they would do that or that.
And it might not work, but it's still fun to do that.
Also a testament to how-
Friends are life.
Friends are life.
I can tell when I'm like making a point and then slowly it's descending into a friends
are life.
Friends are life.
It's getting, everything always comes back to a friends are life space.
No, I mean, it's a testament to how good of an life. It's getting, everything always comes back to a friends are life space.
No, I mean, it's a testament to how good of an actor
you are because you, in Jamie also in the movie,
you play a character who is very guarded and closed off.
And I think, and you know, in my assessment of the character,
it comes from a place of fear and insecurity.
Completely.
And that is not you at all.
You're very cool and I think self-confident
and I think you know who you are.
I think you're very self-possessed in real life,
but you play this character so naturally thank
you that I think like yeah taking seriously I don't know I think it could
be easy to look at something like a you know like a teenage rom-com and just be
like oh I can just phone that in or whatever but you did you didn't and you
don't thank you babe and that's you that what about you how'd you come to acting
I'm skating yeah yeah you were skating in San Fran.
I was skating in SF.
People hate San Fran, right?
Can't call it San Fran.
Right, you call it the Bay, San Francisco, or SF.
Or the city.
Oh, the city. I like the city.
The city's pretty cool.
Why do people hate San Fran?
I think it's just kooky.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just lame. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just one of those things like you can't call it San Fran. Yeah. And I won't ever again. Thanks. I'll learn and I'll live
and I'll learn. What? How did I mean? What do you mean from skating? Like
someone just came up to you? Um, no, I got, uh, I got, I got injured, dude. I
got injured skating and, and I, um, couldn't skate for like a year and a half.
And I was like, what the hell am I gonna do?
And I tried acting.
Yeah.
Was there a light bulb,
was there like a movie that you watched
or a light bulb kind of?
No, my cousins, oh, those are also my favorite people.
You do love your cousins, yeah.
Well, my cousins, they always told me I should try acting. I was
never, I was always kind of like nah I'm gonna just skate, skate, skate, skate. Yeah.
But I got injured and then I couldn't skate so I was like what am I doing with
some of my time? Yeah. Tried acting, worked out a little bit, beautiful team,
shout out the team. Shout out the team. You know, started booking some projects. I was
new to the whole thing, you know, and then you start to work with fucking beasts. You're a beast. Like Cunin, yeah. You guys. And then you get fucking lucky like that, dude, you know? Yeah.
It's so new. I was telling that master class, right? Like, you want to learn from me?
Right like you you want to learn from me
Beautiful is that everybody comes at performing from a different
Background and there's something to learn from everyone. I mean I learned from both of you on the set I don't think it's just like an amount of time that you've done it. It's your approach to it that really right?
That's really beautiful. It also makes sense to the
It's your approach to it that really that's really beautiful. It also makes sense
Thank you, it makes sense it kept happening cuz Nico you're a very good actor. Yeah, thanks, bro I know you know that but you're so good in the movie. It's wild to hear that and I'm stoked to hear it
Yeah, you know, I love a compliment. I fucking dude. I'm back it. I love it. I'm good. But it's all just always weird hearing that
yeah, not that I hear it a lot, but it's weird hearing that cuz I'm did I back it I love it. I'm good, but it's all just always weird hearing that yeah Not that I hear it a lot, but it's weird hearing that cuz I'm like I
Think I'm a good skateboarder. Yeah, I know I'm a good skateboarder. Yeah
But acting is so crazy to me. Yeah, also
It's just you know it's a whole new
It's a whole new world
Yeah, but going back to that master class thing and your point like it's very interesting and all that like
It is because everyone comes from the different backgrounds. Yeah, I was like trying to say at that master class like I
don't like you can do you can
do other shit you can have like
tunnel vision for acting but also if you take a step back and come back to it or you know don't feel too inclined to just like i don't know what the
fuck i'm saying dude like you don't have to like it doesn't have to be your only thing or stick
out i think actually better if you don't let acting be the only thing you do well i will say
when i and i've told this story before,
but when I wrapped Sabrina,
I was talking to an acting mentor of mine
and I was saying, basically, what can we do?
Can we work on a play?
Can we work on a monologue?
I always wanna be getting better
and I always wanna be growing.
And she literally went, Kiernan, just go,
walk around the block, live your life,
get your heart broken, get angry,
feel things, because I think having a life outside of
the, your art is really important,
because what else are you gonna be,
how else are you gonna be able to bring stuff to it?
So I think that's the real, that's the real tea.
Y'all, finding the perfect gift can be pretty overwhelming,
I've always said.
I always wanna make sure I'm giving gifts
that people actually want. This year I found the perfect spot for be pretty overwhelming, I've always said. I always want to make sure I'm giving gifts that people actually want.

My team, uh
They know they're they know they're gambling.
Yeah

It's tough.
And it is what it is.
We did a film in Taiwan once, and I fractured my wrist out there skating.
I didn't tell production.
I was like...
Because I was going crazy, I needed to skate and I just went skating
I just totally bodied my wrist and I was like, oh and I had fractured it like
Earlier in the year and I was like, I just heard that like wait
How's that I didn't love that
Hope the mic picks it up hated it
But yeah, it was a point yeah, it was it turns out it was fractured but didn't tell production anyways.
They might not still, they know now, sorry I didn't tell you.
So you were just showing up to set with a fractured wrist?
Yeah, yeah.
Carried on?
I mean, it wasn't too physical.
There was a scene where I had to push off a roof which was really tough, but that was-
It wasn't too physical besides the roof.
That was it.
I did jump off a building, part sucked that part that part sucked
Yeah, it's okay, dude. I mean they know they know now. Yeah
Yeah, you're careful you uh you do show up with a lot of new bruises and scrapes. I'm really like that's inspiring
Yeah, I love them. I think they're I think they're nice. I like my scars
We can also say
After we met uh-huh I was like I was like I gotta watch some Sabrina uh-huh and I it was my um
My background fall asleep for a little bit size size. I was basically falling asleep to you
fall asleep for a little bit. So I was basically falling asleep to you.
Me?
That's so adorable.
Aw, that's cute.
I miss our Kemri.
I backed the show.
It was great.
Thank you so much.
He backed Sabrina in a big way.
I really, some of my favorite memories
from filming this movie were Niko and I sharing his car
back to our shared building.
And he would let me ride with him, which was sweet.
And I would jump in with Nico.
We would have just filmed, what, 12 something hours.
Oh yeah, 12, 13.
It's 5 a.m.
We were shooting the night.
It's five in the morning, we're shooting overnight.
And Nico just getting in the car
and being like, telling the driver like,
yo, turn this, put my playlist on and turn it up.
And just me being like so fucking tired.
And Nico being like, what do you think of this song? I'm like I love it
Like I'm like truly so
Orange sky
Keep it going keep it going keep it going
Yeah, we did I once when we I think I told you this when we we were doing this
We had a very funny schedule and that we were shooting like 5 p.m. To 5 a.m. There was one night that I thought that I was gonna rap
sort of early-ish, like maybe in the 12, one range.
And I was like, okay, great.
Like I didn't get a chance to eat dinner or something.
Like the lunch schedule got kind of all messed up.
And I was like, no problem.
I don't mind a 12 a.m. dinner.
I really don't.
I've housed a meal at 2 a.m. before.
It never, I never wrapped that early.
Like, I think we ended up wrapping maybe at 5 a.m.
or something like that and I just sort of
misread the situation.
And I went back to my apartment in Hoboken at the time
and I heated up lasagna at 5am.
Let's go!
And I have a selfie of me with my heated up Amy's 5am lasagna and it felt like a low but also a high.
Yeah.
I can't just...
Lasagna at 5am is a tough call.
That's a wicked move.
That's in the trenches.
Probably they heat up too.
Yeah.
That's wicked. Because you have to watch that cook.
The room just fell silent.
Everyone just went completely silent when I said that.
Watching that was on your microwave
if I had in the morning and knowing like once that
stops bubbling I'm gonna put that in my stomach.
Cause I was hungry.
I just didn't get a chance.
So what else was a girl to do?
There was a freaking
What's that? It's not Chipotle, it's the other one.
Qdoba.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was a Qdoba near-ish our place,
and I would sleep until, you know, 3 p.m.
Get up, shave, I had like wet shave every day,
and shower, and then I would just like sit on my couch
and just stare at the wall and house a Qdoba bowl.
And I would just sit, cause I was so like, fuck, we're gonna go do this again all bowl? And I would just sit because I was so like, fuck,
we're gonna go do this again all night. And I would just sit there and like,
and I just I have vivid flashbacks from that filming of me just staring at a wall in an
apartment in Jersey City. Just eating Qdoba. Because it was the easy thing that I knew would
fill me up and wouldn't make me sick. It was just like protein and rice. And I would just and then
I would get and I would go do the movie. Yeah, I would wake up at 4, 4 p.m. before the coffee shop closed and be like,
Good morning, everyone. Hello.
Hello, guys. Please one, what's your coffee order?
I'm a latte, a latte. I had a pumpkin spice latte today.
No. It was very last minute decision.
Wow. I was going full ice matcha like I usually do from this one coffee shop,
but I walked there and I got a little chilly and I wasn't feeling like holding something cold and I went, you know what? It's, it's going to be
my first PSL of the season. Maybe my last. Are those seasonal? Yeah. Pumpkin Spice is
pretty November. Are you doing coffee? You don't do coffee, right? I'll, I'll, I'll do
a chai, nice chai. Yeah. With oat milk. That's beautiful. But I can't do coffee.
I can't.
It freaks me out a little bit.
It like puts you on edge?
Yeah.
Damn.
I get so anxious.
I never did it until college.
You're an iced vanilla latte?
Iced vanilla.

That was me. I was that was making everyone sick. It was like ole. Oh
People were going like I it took one drink of this and shit for three hours.
People were getting so ill from that. Coffee and olive oil. I mean both of those things together. That's crazy. That's mighty. But do you know what bangs?
Mmm. Vanilla ice cream with olive oil. Yes. Oh yeah. It does. That's good. Little sea salt? Yeah. Ooh.
And olive oil. I feel like olive oil ice cream had a little bit of a moment.
Yeah. Yeah. But I like the drizzle on top. Just a little. Of just the vanilla. There's a restaurant
in Brooklyn called Lilia. You've been there? I have been a little bit. I knew you'd been to Lilia.
But honestly, the last time I went, I was 16 years old. I remember, I remember it vividly because.
Kiernan's a restaurant girly, by the way. Yeah, huge. Kiernan knows the spots.
I remember it because I was at dinner with my mom
and I was 16 and this guy comes up to our table
and like makes like a little bit of a pass on me
and I go, I'm 16 and he's like, back it up, back it up.
Back it up.
He goes, hey, my bad.
My bad, my bad.
You right, you right, you right. I'll hold this, I'll hold this.
Hold that hand there.

probably made no no I'm just kind of look it up sure but there's also no I
have like a couple I'm like but don't say that loud don't say that loud let it be a
secret for Niko okay and Niko you can tell us kind of what it's like cuz I actually don't want you to reveal what it is

And we'll see what they they want something they want to know the truth about. Okay.
Hi, Caleb and guest or guests. My name is Finn. I wanted to know the truth about
diet sodas. I personally think they taste like dirt. I hate how they taste, but people really swear by them and they love them. I just don't really get it
I would love to know the truth about
Diet sodas any of them honestly
Let me know. Oh
My goodness. Oh my god. That's fucking crazy. That really hurt me that I can't believe
That we're here for this one. Nico. That's a that's that really hurt me a lot
I'm a little do you guys have a favorite diet soda? Do you even drink diet soda? I do drink diet soda
He goes out on I'll do a little maybe a little hungover diet coke. Okay, real king
We were drinking a lot of that
I feel like I was doing a lot of DC on the shoot pound and diet coke sounds like like a like a
nothing like a
pound and diet coke's on sweet like like a
DC and then a
Journey on that Cunin was lasagna maxing
Because like I was worried about you I I remember I was banging those things. I was in there recently discovered I are we ignoring the question and just talking about our favorite diet soda
Well, he was gonna can I give the can I give the caller a little bit of credit?
Yeah, there is one diet soda that tastes horrible. Oh really and it's its name is diet. Dr. Pepper. Oh
I do not like diet. Dr. Pepper
Interesting a lot of other ones do it for me diet coke is the gold standard of diet. So yes in my opinion
They really nailed something that others can't nail
Diet Pepsi was my mom's soda growing up. That was my mom's yeah moms loved I
Love a diet Pepsi mom's love a diet go to she would go through a drive-thru specifically to get like a massive
Pepsi she and I knew she was fucking real jumbo. I knew she was fucking 24 ounces. Yeah
Biggest possible diet Pepsi. Oh what classifies it to be diet?
Zero or low calorie
Yeah, and it makes a big the sugar makes a big difference in the flavor. Yeah, right? Yeah
But really so does not necessarily about sugar.
Soda's about carbonation and chemicals.
And they're able to get a lot of the chemicals
in there still.
Oh, they pump it in still.
It's bad for you.
It's bad.
For sure it's bad for you.
Truly, surely.
Yeah.
Diet Sprite is not a very West Coast thing,
but I like it whenever it's available.
You like it.
I like Diet Roopier.
Yeah, Diet Roopier's good.
Diet Roopier's really nice.
Also, Cherry Coke Zero, banger.
Cherry Coke Zero is banger.
I was in Vegas, and they had one of those digital,
they had one of those digital sort of,
you press a screen and decide which fountain soda you want.
And the amount of Diet Coke options was heaven.
Oh, all the flavors?
Every single flavor you could possibly imagine.
Lemon, lime, cherry, vanilla.
Cherry, vanilla.
Go in there, go both.
But it was one, I believe.
It was so good.
That's so beautiful.
So I guess the truth about Diet Soda is that it is lovely
and maybe this person just needs to experiment
a little bit more.
We love you. You it tastes like dirt dirt
dirt
That's crazy
They followed up with I hate it. I hate it
Tastes like dirt and I hate it. I hate it and they know who I'm sure the caller knows who I am and what I'm about
Right. I know I partake I associate you with the DC you says me with that coke
Yeah, I feel like you love it
I feel like you ride for it and you talk about it
I actually just reordered my friend Brian Robert Jones who's been on the show
Plays guitar and paramour really brilliant musician and funny guy
He makes clothes he makes clothing under this brand called LX IX and he made a shirt
That's the it's like Diet Coke and flames with a pentagram as the oh, it's really cool
That is cool It's like Diet Coke and Flames with a pentagram as the O. It's really cool.
That is cool.
And I recently, just like the other day,
bought a hoodie version of it.
Nice.
Because I had a t-shirt version of it,
and I was like, now I need the hoodie.
I also feel like, yeah, it's about, I was gonna say, ooh!
Oh, that's sick. Pretty sick.
Isn't that fun?
Well, I was gonna say, I feel like,
aesthetically, soda is great.
Yeah. Also, like,
there's something about whole,
I mean, the can of Diet Coke I love,
but I also love the glass.
The glass is so, it's sort of Americana in a kind of way.
Yeah, the glass Coke bottle.
Yeah. Cold.
There's something about it that's more experiential
than it is just taste.
If you guys could only have, both of you,
if you could only have one drink for the rest of your life,
what would it be?
And is water out?
I'm gonna take water out. Let's say water is always there. You always have water So I guess two drinks you always have water cuz that's great
And then you can only have one additional kind of fun Bev for the rest of your life. What is it?
Lots of I can't I mean I gotta have my Java ice or hot you have to pick
Ice latte. Yeah, so you're going to water and ice latte for the rest of your life water coffee. I love that feels right that feels right
I'm not gonna like lose sleep over that answer. Yeah, yeah, thanks
It's fucking really tough. Yeah
like if
Like if it wasn't that bad for you, I love a cold beer. Yeah, which one?
I'll I love a cold Pacifica. Yeah, but or a Sapporo. Yeah, but like
But it's you know, if that was for the rest of your life your one drink. That's not good
No, so no, I wouldn't do that. Maybe like maybe like maybe I do
It wouldn't be good. Yeah. It's bad, very bad for you.
So true.
So true.
Maybe I'd do like a...
Like a fucking...
Soda water with bitters?
Nice.
I've been digging that.
That's gorgeous.
That's very adult.
Yeah, that's very grown up.
Yeah.
Extremely grown up choice.
That is grown.
For Nico.
I'm going, knowing that we have water.
Right. I think it's knowing that we have water,
I think it's really hard for me to choose
between Dr. Pepper and an ice latte.
But I am gonna go ice latte.
It's so important to me.
An ice latte, I can't do many things without it.
I literally texted Virginia and Chance on the way here
and said, is it possible for someone to get me
an ice latte before the record?
I will worship whoever makes it happen.
And Virginia did make it happen, and it was beautiful.
And I do worship her.
I do, an iced latte, I sit, I write with an iced latte.
I get an iced latte when I'm like,
damn, today's gonna be really hard.
This'll at least start the morning off right.
It's emotional support.
I don't even need to, I mean, I will finish it,
but it doesn't need to be, I don't guzzle it down.
There's a ritual to the coffee.
Something to sip on when I have a 45 minute drive
to somewhere.
I'm like, oh, get the latte and that'll be part of the drive.
Carbev, yes!
Carbev.
Very important.
Carbev is huge.
Very important.
What about the pink coconut waters?
You like those?
A harmless harvest?
I don't think it's a harmless harvest.
What is it?
It's a harmless harvest coconut water.
I've never had this.
Oh, they're good.
I wanna try one.
Yeah, it's just good.

Exactly. I used to stop and get a smoothie and I haven't been in a million years
And I really wanted to go because like the smell is so distinct
Yeah, it's like a deep nostalgic smell and I had ten minutes
I was like, oh I'm gonna walk across there and I actually got a little I got a little sad
Give us a beverage tour. Um, but I did get get beverages okay, so wow close to the mic we have two kombucha's
