I looked over in these two men who I can only describe as trolls, like, love them so much.
I'm sure they're excellent people, but when I saw them, they were hunched and had big long beards.
And they were shoving fishing wire.
No.
Fish wires.
In a burger.
In like multiple burgers.
Touching them and shoving wire in and being like, and then giving them to them to me and being like, eat, eat it.
Hi, you guys.
Welcome to Sid Olivia Talk.
I'm the sad one.
I'm the Olivia one.
And I'm the Anna.
Okay.
Yep, yep, yep.
Sorry.
No, it's exactly.
We have another one today, a very special one.
We're so excited about this one.
We're freaking me out.
We are freaking me out.
We're, um, we're shing our pant.
And today, um, we have Anna Garcia.
waving to a studio audience.
Oh my God.
We're so happy to have it.
How are you doing today besides your issues?
No, I can talk about that.
Besides all of your issues.
I've got a ton of issues going on, which is that I haven't shit in like a week.
Yeah, we've just talked about it.
And then I haven't.
We might.
We might just keep it.
And we might just keep it in.
And I haven't.
And I'm just so, at some point in the pod, I get up and go, we know.
And this pod usually does have a safe word.
So your safe word could be, I have to shit.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Yeah, that's a good thing.
And I can use that for anything.
Yeah.
Okay, perfect.
I don't feel safe.
I have to shit.
Yeah.
And then the podcast stops.
And then it stops entirely.
Yeah.
And we never do it again.
Perfect.
You know what's so interesting is that we know we've met you before.
Yeah.
But we're not like friends.
We haven't like hung out.
We're not even friends.
We haven't hung out.
We haven't even hung out.
I'm very excited because this is, and I don't know if you know this, and I don't know what it is on your end.
Okay.
But this is the first time.
You've had a woman on the show.
I think this is the first time I've gotten to.
We're so excited finally.
Have a woman anywhere near me.
We're so excited.
And I'm like, what's it like?
Give me, give me.
No, I think this is the first.
time, at least in my memory, at least recently, that I get to interact with you when I'm sober.
Oh, were you drunk at the...
Yeah, I've been drunk at the last two times I saw it.
There was like a Halloween party.
Yes, yes.
Which obviously...
Which was fun.
That was a great party.
I was like, oh, fuck.
How does he does that again?
Oh, my God, it was so great.
I'm actually...
But every time I'm drunk or high or a little bit of both and I run into someone, I know
sometimes I look like I've seen a ghost and I'm just like trying to place like where I am and if I'm
seeming normal. And so you've been pretty normal both times. Both times? Okay, that was what I was
going to ask. And then also, if you were to rank how normal I am right now, how would you say?
Ooh, you're the most normal for sure. Great. Right now. Right. But you weren't not normal in the
other two. Yeah. Yeah. This is good news. Sometimes you don't, you just don't know how you come across.
Yeah. I'm stoked to be really retaining this. Good.
Oh, good.
But the thing that's so exciting is I feel like, I feel a kindred thing with you.
I feel very much so like, well, of course.
Yeah.
Of course.
I know.
I'm like, we don't know each other, but if we did, we'd be really good friends.
That's the thing is, like, I'm hoping that today kicks off real friendship.
I hope so.
Me too.
We're all dressed like, what's the show about the kids at the skate part?
Yeah, recess.
Yeah.
I was going to say the one where they skateboard.
Yeah.
But that's not the.
But yeah.
We all are having such a specific brand of like child.
Child. Yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And we didn't plan it at all. No, we didn't. No, because it'd be so weird if we texted each other and went, should we plan that we all dress like a specific type of child? That'd be insane. Which is how I'd look at my closet every day. Which type of child. Yesterday I was backyard baseball. Truly same. Yeah. Every day I'm either an old man or a young boy.
Sit as a young baseball player. I'm mostly young boy. Yeah.
mostly. And then occasionally I'll be like, today's old man. I love that. Today's old man day.
Today you're sort of giving like older man. Maybe hippie woman. To me you're giving the kid.
You're wearing, you're giving the kid who's showing up to after school baseball practice or school or something and you're like sporty and athletic, but you have so many siblings that your parents only give you hand me downs.
Yeah. And so you're your oldest, your oldest sibling.
Like, you're like, sorry, I hate that, by the way.
It's just so crazy to be told I look like I'm wearing hand-me-down.
Because because in my head, in my head, you look like you could use someone else's stuff.
No, what it is, is that it's too, like, in my head, they're all too big for you, and that's what's giving kids.
None of your clothes fit.
And so that's why I kind of was saying.
You're a little baseball kid.
You're like a baseball kid who's like, I've got my sister's skirt and my brother's jersey.
And you're smoking cigarettes.
And I'm the kid that's got cigarettes.
Yeah.
And I'm eating them because I don't know.
I'm smoking them, but I'm not lighting.
them. I'm doing something wrong with them. I'm not doing it right. And I'm going to throw up from it.
All at the bleachers. All at the bleachers. None of us get to be in the game.
Yeah. I was going to say, you look like the girl that wants to play on the boys' team.
But I'm on the bottom half wearing my mom's wedding dress.
The hidden trauma of your character is your mom left after her wedding day.
Yeah. And so now I'm just like always being like, oh. Wish my mom would come back. Maybe if I wear her wedding dress.
Maybe if I get great at baseball.
Yeah, that's a good story for us
But you're not great at baseball because you trip over the wedding
But what I was going to say is I kind of feel like
if we had a third
I feel like it would be it
Oh my God
And that's a question we're always asked right
Do you guys have a third? Do you guys have a third? Do you guys have
And I'm floating around in the lines?
I have nothing to base this on because
But why are you you're right though
It's just vibe and when you guys finally asked me to the podcast I was like
But I feel that you should be our third
Great
And I think we should try to do things today
Yeah
to make that relationship happen.
Okay, so what are the, I feel like, I feel like, what are the, um, the pillars of friendship?
The tenants of.
What are the pillars of friendship?
I feel like deep connection, like knowing each other well, asking questions that like other
people don't know.
Should we try that first?
Yeah, let's start with that.
Okay, first we're going to trauma dump.
Music!
Cup music!
Okay, not really trauma dump, but let's just ask intense question.
Oh my God, I've got intense questions.
What is your, I do?
Yeah.
Yeah, you start.
Oh, well, I was just going to say, I had a friend of,
group for a really long time. And I was like, I was like, we should play the question game.
And the question game is just one person has a question. Everyone has to go around and answer.
Yeah, that's a great game. That's what we're playing. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing.
It's the question game. And I love and I'm like, I want to know you all so deeply. Okay. What is all of your
relationship with attention? Ooh. Break you. Ooh, that's a good one. Let's see. Love it need it.
Like it, love it, got to have it. But also hate it. Yeah. Yes. Yes. But also hate it.
squirming in my bows. Yes. Yes.
Yeah, I'm going to leave it at that. Yeah, desperately want it until I have it.
Yeah. Desperately want it until I have it. And then the second I have it, I'm like,
what? Why would I ever want that? When I get it, it poisons my mind. Yeah, I have to like,
I have to, I'm trying to detach from it and being like, I don't know how. The things I do that
may or may not give me attention and give me that dopamine boost, I have to be doing them for
other reasons. I have to be doing this. Right. Because I like hanging out with my friend and I like
hanging out with people I think are cool.
That's great.
If it's for, I don't check the comments, I don't check the views.
You don't?
Probably to an extent that's harmful and I probably should.
But to me, I'm like, you don't check the comments?
Oh my God, I've read everything that's ever been written about me.
But like, sometimes I will.
Sometimes I will and sometimes they're all really nice and I'm just like, oh, yay.
But, but, you know, but whatever, man.
Yeah, I just tried, I'm trying to like, I'm trying to divorce attention and my need for it.
Because when I get it, I don't like it.
Right.
Yeah.
How about you, Sutney?
Sutney.
I feel like Sutney.
I feel like Satni about my attention.
Like, what if I was a Pokemon and all I said was Sutney?
I would be sad.
I would be sad to lose you.
But I would also like.
I would get that from it as well.
But what if I was living my truth?
Then I need to accept it.
What if my truth is I'm a Pokemon?
I say Sutney.
I would still do everything.
we do together.
Sutney,
Sutney.
Because in our sketches,
I straight man you
anyway.
So I can just go
Sutney,
and you go like,
Sutney.
All the lines are
Sutney.
Are you really a
Pokemon or you just
think you're a Pokemon?
I'm just having a moment.
Okay.
Sorry,
what I just said is
I just having a moment.
Actually, what is
I just spent a bunch of time
with kids.
I knew them.
And I was at a
playground with a child
who loves Pokemon
and he was like,
can we play tag?
I was like, absolutely we can play tag.
And we started playing tag.
And this other kid on the playground who we didn't know was like, can I play?
And it was, I shit you not a child Tony Soprano.
I shit you not.
He had four silver teeth.
And at some point, I referred to us as the dream team.
And he said, you two are the dream team?
You dokey.
And I was like, this kid is awesome.
I need this kid.
And I, if my kid isn't this kid.
Oh, he's perfect.
If my kid doesn't have, he's born with four silver team.
I am getting them for it.
I'm swallowing a bunch of silver.
I literally was like, and he kept pushing me.
The better finest way to his mouth.
I loved him so much.
He kept pushing me to tag me.
And then I kept tagging him back and accidentally pushing him over.
So I just thought he could handle more.
Yeah.
He was giving, I could handle.
He was like, he followed me to my car to say, hey, and remember, you're it.
Still.
Awesome.
So awesome.
Love the kid.
That's really.
Was he there alone?
Yeah, he drove off.
He drove off.
Maybe this guy was...
Oh, wait a second.
When I say young Tony Soprano, I mean, he's 40.
I didn't mean, he was like 39.
Um, no, he was...
Yeah, he was like, Plank Dad, me and this child kept shoving the child shoving me.
He was awesome.
The four silver teeth is really what to tip me off.
His wife kept off.
His silver teeth was...
Voiceover teeth.
Horse silver teeth is awesome.
Anyway, so yeah, I've been in a very Pokemon.
mood. But my relationship with attention is I think that if I see that I'm if I'm in a situation
where people are like, we're all trying to get attention. I'm like, okay, so it's time to get
attention. And then I'm like, I want that. And then the second, the second I don't get it,
I go like, wow, I must be stupid. And then when I do get it, I'm like, okay, so you're just
taking over the conversation, you asshole. I completely shut down. If I'm in a room or
stage and there's someone that wants the attention more than me or yeah like if everyone wants it
the same perfect but sometimes there are people that really want it and I go you can have it yeah
and then I just sort of shut up yeah I go you can have it you go freeze you I go freeze sometimes
they go into like like my brain sees the thing as like a hole and I go like okay well hold on
like this person's been talking this amount this person's been talking this person needs to talk I've been
talking and like but also I'm ADHD so like I will just be talking about
and then realize it at a certain point
and be like, holy shit, this bitch is talking
and sometimes I'll talk and I won't say anything.
And so I'm like also trying to be conscious of that
because while that's fun and it's how I express myself
and who gives a fuck,
I also don't want to interrupt people to say nothing
and take up all the time.
So it's about finding balance.
But what's your relationship with silence?
Ooh.
You guys, we're becoming very close to me.
I like this start.
We talked about shitting ourselves
and then we talked about this.
I love this.
Okay, I have two things.
Yeah.
First, I want to respond to what you said when I'm in a conversation.
Yeah.
Or if someone's telling a story and they're not looking at everyone equally.
Oh.
I've had someone tell a story and look only at me and I've had like friends.
I'm like, look at my friends.
Yeah.
Or if I'm telling a story, I'm going, everyone gets a sentence.
Yeah.
I'm like so conscientious of it.
When I said you two are the dream team, Yaduki, did I look at both of you?
I don't think you can.
What?
You can't look at two places at the same time.
Well, I can because one of my eyes is lazy.
Oh my God, you always get to win that way.
One of my eyes is lazy.
Sid, I don't even know.
Yeah, so, okay, so here's what sucks.
Oh, okay.
That's what a lazy eye is.
It can be the lid.
It's a lazy eye turns out.
She doesn't have a lazy eye.
I was like, your eye looks normal, girl.
And I'm, her eyes are normal.
Apparently, according to doctors and her and some other people
who can see it. There's one lid that is slightly different than the other. It goes down. Being
perceived can be tough. It's really rough. When we do read the comments and they're all nice,
there'll be nice comments that are like, oh, Sydney, Sydney. I do see it. And then people will be
like, Olivia, you are, I have to tell you this, because I am, you are so autistic. You are
blatantly autistic. And like, maybe, but I have too many things right now. You're like, I'm busy.
I have ADHD, I have OCD, and I know those for sure.
And also have CPTSD.
And then I have P-N-V-D.
It's too many things.
I can't have autism right now.
You're collecting all the letters.
I can't have any more.
I have to get rid of some of them or put them in remission or know how to handle them in a way where I can talk about them again.
It's a step-by-step situation.
I can't have another one right now because then I'll go to the hospital because it's too many things.
Yeah.
Was your relationship?
Yeah, I'd have to.
With silence.
Right.
I'd be far too.
sexy
with silence
yeah
I used to be a person
that needed to fill it
I would go
no one's talking
they all hate me
now
it can be kind of a vibe
it can be kind of a vibe actually
and I think
when you the real test is finding people
you can be silent
yeah that's true
I don't know
what are your guys's relationships
with silence.
I fucking love it.
Yeah?
There are moments
when there is just,
like for example,
my favorite part
of doing anything on a set
is when you do room tone.
Me too.
Oh,
I love.
I'm like,
I'm not religious,
but when we do room tone,
I'm like, God is real.
Oh, it's the best.
It's the best.
Everyone being quiet
and just being like,
God, that's nice.
And everyone stops moving
and everyone works together as a team
to create this beautiful thing
and I'm like,
Isn't it gorgeous?
It's actually gorgeous.
I went to the Ariana.
Oh, yeah.
And that's gorgeous.
That's going to mean the whole movie.
I went to an Ariana Grande concert.
Hope you're well, Ari.
And she, um, she, love and light.
And at some point she was like, can everyone just be quiet?
Because I'm like going to do like she does like a loop thing.
I've seen all the videos of this.
It's amazing.
And everyone in this gigantic stadium.
Totally quiet.
And it's like the most amazing feeling.
Really?
There are so many of us and we're all on the same page.
Because I've seen videos where maybe I'm only getting to serve the flubs, but someone will go like in the middle of it.
And I'm like, don't.
My crowd did not do that.
That's amazing.
It's amazing.
And you can tell that she's so happy about it.
She gets a second and then she gets to do it.
It's amazing.
Though I will say there's something interesting.
Concerts have changed a lot the past 10 years.
And they now, a lot of.
celebrities are doing things where there's like built in moments of silence.
Like, you know, when Beyonce did everybody on mute and then everyone has to be quiet for like five seconds.
Yes.
I feel like that was sort of the beginning of everyone being like, I want to do that for my concert.
And so now I feel like there's all the, Ariane's, I guess, makes sense because of her like looper.
But there's like all these weird like.
She also does me and my truth, we sit in silence and then hopes that people are silent and a lot of the time they're not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God, beautiful.
Yeah.
Wait.
Do it again.
Do that.
Okay, so do that for the rest of the pod and then shit.
Okay, you do your Pokemon.
Suck me.
I'll do my little Ariana riff.
And I'll practice silence for the very first time.
I've been going through my closet and I'm adding some kind of fun new pieces that I really like,
but there's a lot of pieces that just like don't work for me anymore and they're totally fine,
but they're just like not, I'm never going to wear them.
Yeah, I think about all of the items of clothing that are just kind of living.
in my closet and don't get to see the light of day. And that's not even fair to them. It's not fair to them.
And I should. And what I should be doing is selling them on Vinted so that someone else can give these clothes a new life. Vinted is a secondhand marketplace app that makes it really easy to sell the clothes you're not wearing and make a couple extra bucks on the side.

And while I don't drink as much as I used to, I went wine tasting one of the nights because I had to.
But I took one of these before.
And when you're on a trip, you want to be able to really make the most of it. So the fact that you were able to enjoy
the next day completely is pretty nice.

What's your relationship with silence?
You know, I definitely am not like, I don't gravitate towards it, but I can, I don't know.
Yeah.
I, when I'm alone, I do often like to put like music on or put like a show on or like I like having multiple levels of stimulus at a time or else sometimes my thoughts will go like weird.
Yeah.
But also like sometimes it's really nice.
And I think as I get older, I think as I get older, I like it more.
And I like alone time more.
And I like going home early more and going to sleep early more, which sounds so lame, but it actually feels good.
It was like before it sounded depressing when I was in my like mid-20s, I was like, when people say that, it sounds so fucking depressing.
But then for some reason, like, something in my body is just like, dude, that's you being like, that's you connecting to yourself and having time with yourself.
And like, I feel like science silence is.
could be the same.
Yeah.
I also like meditating.
Meditating.
That sounded so weird the way I was like, I also like medit.
I also like meditating.
No, that's awesome.
I used to meditate every single day.
I don't do it.
And I was like, I am a better person because of it.
And then I stopped doing it, of course.
I stopped, but I love it.
Yeah.
One day.
I'm going to get back on that thing.
How do you guys get into it?
Do you use an app?
The Headspace app.
Headspace app.
I pay and I use the Headspace app.
I do TM, which is transcendental meditation, which is just like you literally
have a mantra that you repeat and you repeat it like you're hearing it like it's a thought.
So it's not an active, which is, it takes a second to like be like, but it's like it's not an
active like I'm saying this in my head. It's like I'm hearing this in my head like it's a thought.
And sometimes I, and you kind of are not supposed to know how it's spelled or how to
visualize anything specific about it. It's just supposed to be a sound and you do it for 20 minutes
in theory twice a day. And then you're like nervous system.
It's the same thought over and over.
name word and it's a and it's a Sanskrit word and so it's not a real it's not a word that I know what it
means but it but my dad who got me into it he is a different Sanskrit word because we like it's
interesting it's yeah so it's like you just repeat a a word you know I don't know what it means
over and over and over and over again and when you feel thoughts come in you go like um when you
notice that you're not just doing the word you go back to it and the word is like a sound that sounds
really um like easy to like you know it's none of it's like harsh or anything and then you just
kind of go into a different state and it like I guess is like scientifically proven to do like cool
shit but all meditation is like meditation's good and I just like yeah it's but there's no
visualization there's you don't have to do anything except for people's and I do that when I'm also
having a panic attack or like when I was like having my awake surgery which I had a surgery
while I was awake kind of and I like the movie like the movie awake surgery like the movie awake
No, there's a movie you called Awake. Do you know about that?
Is it about someone who, like, can't communicate in their awake? Or is that they have...
It's about someone who gets awake. They have anesthesia, but it's...
They wake up during it.
Yeah. But they can't move their body.
I hate that.
It's the scariest movie.
Yeah, mine was like a CT guided surgery. So I had to like, they had like, I had to hold my breath and like do certain
things while they guided me on a...
It was like, but I did that and it really does that and then I like, you know, just whatever.
Like, but it's good to have those tools, even though I, like, I'm...
I don't fucking use them, but they are awesome.
So anyway, I like Transcendental Meditation if you didn't know that.
Huge.
And it's a word that I don't understand.
Is there no need to?
Is there anything else that's like a deep question that you want to know?
What is something you are trying to grow past right now?
Such a good question.
I can start with mine.
Please.
Okay.
So I am trying to learn how to connect to and understand what my feelings are and process them in a shorter amount of time.
Ooh.
Because when something happens to me, it takes me a very long time because I immediately bury it.
I people please.
I don't let myself feel anything.
I don't let myself feel sadness.
I put it, take it in.
Wow.
I like get mean to myself.
And then the actual issue is so far away that then I just am like.
like super disconnected from myself and I don't know who I am on and so it's like I'm trying to do a thing
where it's like when I'm in a tough situation and I feel something that's like not a good feeling.
I want to like actually feel it be like, okay, this is a feeling, let it pass through, try to figure
out how to like describe it or intellectualize it or like be, you know, like understand it myself
before I act on it and then act on it in a way that is still true to what I feel and not just brushing
it under the rug and like abandoning myself again.
Yeah.
And that is what I'm trying to work on right now.
I love that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anna, what are you working on?
I think I am always like chasing towards the next big thing.
Usually career-wise.
And I have learned that like life kind of feels the same no matter where you're at.
Yeah.
And so you'll always have problems.
always like you know yeah um and so it it really hate to say it but everybody's right it really is
about the the day that you have and so i'm just trying to get better i'm like i'm always in a state of
like i have to book the next thing you have to you know i have to and i think i'm like this year
taking more like little trips than i ever have ever and so i'm like i just i'm saying no to more
things like I'm like I'm just trying to I think it'll make I I don't want to be someone that's like
not so crazy crazy driven because I think that's a super defining trait about myself yeah but I'm like
I want to pair that with like it being okay and yeah and it's also like you can be driven and you can
go for the next thing but knowing that you're going to feel similar once you get that next thing
you're going to be like what's the next thing is a good thing to know and be like okay I am driven I I do like
to push in my career. I do like to work and get things and achieve. But it's not the thing that
I know it's not the thing that's going to suddenly flip a switch and then I'm going to feel totally
good about everything. I also have to do other things in my life while I'm driven. Yeah. And that's
fucking sick. Yeah. And also because there's always going to be negative experiences with any part of
life, which means that you're going to want to cultivate another part of your life where you can have a
positive experience so that you have a nice little balance. And the more cool shit you do for yourself,
the more fun you have making art, I feel.
Totally.
Because you're just like, oh, I'm less depressed because I took a little trip.
I think, honestly, the best acting I've ever done is when I was also in pottery class at the same time.
Oh my God, you took a pottery class?
I've been doing pottery since high school.
Wait, that's so crazy.
You do pottery?
Yeah.
You still do.
Yeah.
Okay, so are you remember?
Yeah.
Maybe I should come visit.
Yeah, you should.
Okay, cool.
Do you throw or handbuilder?
What?
I mostly throw.
Okay, amazing.
Are you handbuilder?
Both.
Both.
Oh my God.
She's so good.
I love.
She's really good.
Really?
Wait, I want to see your stuff.
Okay.
I do want to see your stuff.
That's so exciting.
I love it so much.
It's so fun.
There is a pottery studio that I go to that I, yeah, because I did in high school.
I did a little bit in college, but mostly when I got to L.A., I was like, what's the cheapest
fucking pottery class I could do?
And the LACC offers.
Fuck yeah.
Pottery classes through their, like, summer programming.
And so, or like, through,
LACC extension, which they have all these fun classes you can take.
And so I signed up for the cheapest pottery class I could find in the city.
It was at this place in Eagle Rock, Toros Pottery.
It's this amazing, amazing man named Toros.
He's just like wonderful sort of Armenian uncle vibe.
And he is like an angel on this earth.
And he has two cats that's, well, he now has one cat that's, I know, I know, sorry.
Really devastating to do that.
sorry
Huge of true
Yeah
I know I know
And they sort of like
roam around
And he's he was like
I was there my first year in L.A.
when I was like
I don't even know how to be an actor in this town
And he was like
You're an actor I want your headshot
Like I'm gonna put it on the wall
And he like has my head shot on
He's like he's so sweet
Every time I go I visit him all the time
Just because I am always an Eagle Rock
Get in Yogurtland
And so I will come
Or get in Foster's Free
Grise. Gotta. Fosters freeze.
Yeah.
Freezer. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Raise them. Make them cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
On my foster. Preys your foster family. That's so so. I go and say hi all the time and he's like, I saw you in this.
That's so nice. Oh my God. That's so. He's literally like, he's literally like my L.A. uncle.
I love people like that. You need to collect uncles. Yeah, we need to collect. We collect dads. We collect dads. So like every guy who's like even a year or more.
older than us that we like trust and like we're like dad yeah but we should collect uncles because
it is a different vibe yeah I do feel that I mean I also do feel that I have collected kind of in
the same vein like a pottery uncle you do have a pottery uncle yeah the kiln the the kiln technician
at my studio is very much so an uncle vibe and he loves to tell people like advice and he loves
to be like oh let me tell you about my rough childhood
do we think his age is? I'm guessing he's like 50s. Okay. I love him so much. Yeah. He's like a perfect
uncle age. You should put some of your pottery here. Oh, I thought you were going to say you should put him up here.
You put him up here. Wait, we should collect him. Wait, we should put him up. Wait, we should put pictures of all our
real uncles on the third shelf. Is your Piss Cup still here? I don't know. No, I think it's Cass's. I think
Cass has it. Sid made a Piss Cup. Cup. Cup to Pissin. Awesome. And it's like a little white cup that has a
fake post-it note that says Piss Cap.
Awesome.
I want to ask you a question.
We were talking about it out there, and I do want to know more about this.
Okay.
So you're the face of what?
PetSmart.
You're the face of PetSmart.
Yeah.
And does this hear?
And I never talk about it.
Holy shit.
Wait, when did this start?
No.
Do you, are you like the flow progressive of PetSmart?
I'm their spokesperson, but the reason I never talk about it is because I don't want to be known as that.
Yeah, of course.
Well, you are not because I didn't know.
No, nobody knows.
And that's why it's a party trick.
That's why it's a party trick.
Yeah, that's our most recent campaign store.
I will say, I will say.
That one, yeah.
For some reason, my nostrils were flared the whole time.
Did this on a broken ankle?
Okay, so I had no idea this was one hour of silence.
And keep this up.
Oh, perfect.
Occasionally interrupted by Pickman.
I love Pickman so much.
Yeah, might as well.
Keep it on.
And then there'll probably be some ads.
That's perfect.
Yeah, I'll pause that.
Wait, so, okay, so you were saying that you, I'm sorry, you were saying something about having to deal with animals that were local to Arizona.
So we shoot all our commercials in Arizona.
And so we, and we use a lot of animals.
Yeah.
Of course.
No shit.
No fucking shit, idiot.
No fucking shit.
No fucking shit.
It's pet smart.
I cry
I'm sorry I got so intense there
it's fine I did it in kind of the way of like
well we're buddies but then I remember like we don't know
each other that long I loved it I loved it
okay you can beat the shit out of me
that's what we're trying to do we're trying to
I'm trying to cultivate that
taking a step too far and then realizing what the boundary is
and then and that's always a good way to find a band
I'm really sorry guys if I crossed a boundary I was kind of
treating you like cousin vibes
and we are so cousin coded
I know guys are my cousins I wish you guys were my cousins so bad
Well, if we can collect uncles, we can collect cousins and now we're all cousins and we're on a trip with our family.
I really wish you guys were my cousins.
Like me too.
Wait, should we cry?
Yeah.
Did you have your tear stick?
I don't.
I usually do it.
I can make myself cry, but sometimes if I say I can do it, then I can't.
No, it's like you can.
It's like you can do it.
But if you get even for a second, if you get nervous that you're not going to do it, you're not going to do it.
I had to do it for a shoot recently.
Yeah.
And coming or crying?
Coming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Coming out of me eyes.
I had to cry.
And the people at the shoot were just staring at me.
And this was for PetSmart.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
Just sob holding this dog.
And everyone was staring at me and I was like,
and then at one point, like, they were talking and someone laughed.
And I go, well, it's over.
Well, it's done.
I'm not going to cry anymore.
I can't do it.
I had to leave the room.
And I was like, yeah.
No, it's so funny because it's like there are certain scenes and certain things where you're like,
okay, like I can totally lock in and cry here easy.
And then there are things where it's like this is, like, we write a lot of stuff where it's like in the scene, something really silly happens.
And then suddenly like one of us is in full tears.
Love.
And it's like, okay, well, yeah, we could traumatize ourselves for a second and like really lock in.
But like it's a sketch and it's not supposed to be real.
Like, so tearstick is always a good backup.
I should get a tear stick.
It's a good backup because also if you, I've had a tearstick on set before and then been able to cry because the nerves weren't there because I knew I could if I couldn't get there by myself.
That's why I can get it really, ultimately, because there's no backup option.
It's a tear stick.
Exactly.
And then the nerves go down and then you can actually do it.
It's just a time saver.
Yeah.
It really is.
Yeah.
Especially for like comedy and even just like manipulating your boss.
Even for just like manipulating your boss.
There were a bunch of animals from Arizona.
So yeah, we shoot them all in Arizona and we have to use trained animals.
Right.
Because they have to like often enter on command.
Yeah.
Sit on command and be able to be.
held. And it's so funny, it's like, you meet your friend's dog and you can hold it for like
three hours and it's totally fun. You meet a trained animal. And it like can't do it. And it wants
to kill you and it wants you dead. I once had to hold a cat, which I'm allergic to. Oh, Jesus Christ.
And it was, his name was Tinkerbell and I think. And it I was, I was, it literally was like claws in me like,
get away from me.
And we tried for like 45 minutes of me
trying to do a 15 second spot of like
I bet smart, but spend 15%
like spend $15 and they didn't have another cat.
You have to get multiple cats. It's slim pickings over in Arizona.
And so what they did is they ended up just mixing the cat completely.
Oh my gosh.
Which was like, why could we have done this 35 minutes ago?
Yeah.
But like I had claw marks on me.
That's so funny though.
The idea of like you with claw marks on you and no cat being like
here at pet sport.
Yeah.
Just got absolutely threaded.
My God, that's insane.
Just the idea of someone clearly injured doing an ad.
Yeah.
You're at Home Depot.
I will say, though, this was a great shoot.
We had great animals.
I think we're getting better.
Good.
With the animals.
I love that this is a secret.
Oh, I just don't talk about it.
I'm, like, I'm obsessed with the fact that you have an alter ego who is the mascot of.
Yeah.
Because it's also, when I first saw you in this, I was like,
like, that's not you.
Great.
That's someone else.
Perfect.
But it like is you, obviously.
But I was just like, no.
No, there's no way.
It's like, you know Natalie Palameda?
Yes.
Yeah, it's like she's progressive.
She's, she's, she's the, in progressive and she is the things she does that aren't that are very different for this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very awesome.
And I, I once, just this week, I was like, I went to UCB.
And so it was like, Anna, how's it going?
PetSmart girl?
And I was like, that's, that's.
That's not my name.
That's not my name.
They're like, how's pets smart?
And I'm like, I do so many other things.
It is really crazy when you do a professional job and you realize that like actually everything is the same.
It had a really good commercial.
She had to eat burgers with chicken wire in them or something.
Oh, yeah.
I did a commercial once where they were like, it'll be funny because you're ugly and you eat burgers.
The roles were for like, for like, for like average looking Midwestern.
Bride. It was like mid Midwest Bridesmaid. It was like not flattering. And they were like, it's going to be so fucking hilarious because you're going to look fucking gaunt and disgusting and you're going to be eating all these fucking burgers. And they. I looked over in these two men who I can only describe as trolls, like love them so much. I'm sure they're excellent people. But when I saw them, they were hunched and had big long beards. And they were shoving fishing wire.
No.
Fish wires.
In a burger.
In like multiple burgers.
Touching it.
Touching them and shoving wire in and being like...
And then giving them to me and being like, eat, eat.
But then they also, they did that thing where they're like, oh, well, you can spit after
you don't have to swallow, but then they hold on you for so long where it's like, of course
I can't chew the whole time.
And there's a thing in the burger holding it together and I'm just eating around wire.
And I was a vegetarian at the time.
And they didn't.
And they were like, this is perfect.
And they were chewing real meat.
I was chewing real meat and swallowing it.
Yeah, because they were holding on it for so long.
She couldn't spit it out.
Yeah, I swallow meat.
And then for lunch, it was burgers.
No.
Yeah, from a different place.
What company was this?
Toyota.
No.
Yeah.
You were eating burgers for a Toyota commercial.
Yeah, in a Toyota, to be fair.
Sure.
Do you have like an audition or like a commercial audition specifically that you've ever been like, there's no fucking way you're making me do that?
Our friend.
Oh my gosh.
Our friend always tells us the story about how he had a commercial audition where it was like, what you're going to do is you're going to, it's a self-tape, you're going to stand in a shower, make the shower run on you while you're fully clothed and sob.
No.
And they were like, and do that or else there's no chance you get this.
There must have been enough of those in a row for me because I just stopped doing them.
Yep.
As a commercial self tape is like get on your hands and knees and pant like a dog.
It is crazy.
It's what some things will be like.
They'll be like, well, obviously you'll do this.
Obviously.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it was one point I'd like reconstruct my whole living room to sort of look like it looked like a car because they were like you can't film in a car.
But we want us because we want to have natural light.
We want you to have studio light.
And it was like, and I think I was like, this is it.
Then call me in.
Yeah, they call me in.
Call me in and have it set up that way.
I was so confused.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of if there's been a horror story one.
I mean, sometimes it's just the description.
Sometimes you just see like, oh, we're looking for like the amount of times I've seen something where I'm like, oh, I don't want to audition for this because you just insulted me.
Yeah.
No.
Normal to plane.
Eccentric.
Something about them's different.
Yeah.
But you can't quite place what?
Not quite pretty.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get those.
Yeah.
I get those too.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like not traditionally attractive.
Exactly.
But maybe inviting or warm.
Okay.
It's like maybe inviting or warm.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it's interesting.
It's interesting and gender wise too because I do feel like they're trying to write
those in a slightly less mean way.
Like when I was a kid and I would audition, I would be like, fat kid.
fucking awkward fat fat and absolutely overweight could never be cute not the cute one and then i would
get that and now it's like you know like curvier like you know what i mean or like she's like not
traditional but with guys i think they're still kind of doing it because my my boyfriend got an audition
that was like john wayne gasey if he was fatter then he got another audition that was like um
And he's not. Also, he's not, like, he doesn't match the type, which is also like,
also like, no matter what the type is, don't say that. That's not nice. And there was another one that
was like, this is a guy you wouldn't let alone with your goldfish. He's the greasiest,
leasedest, yuckiest guy you've ever seen. And he makes you get chills. He's so yucky. Like,
what would he do with your goldfish? I don't know. And I don't think that's going to eat it as
I don't think that's a phrase anyone uses.
I bet you that the first draft of that thing was like a type of guy you wouldn't leave alone with your daughter.
Yeah.
Somebody was like, you can't say that.
Let's say gold thing.
Yeah.
It'll be like slimy, greasy grease pot.
Disgusting little pervert.
Probably a fucking freak pedophile pervert.
And it's like, guys, that's not very nice either.
I had a long swing.
Right.
I had a long swing where I was only getting auditions that was like Jew.
You had your, yes, I remember that.
Jew straight out of Jew town.
Big nose, asshole Jew.
Your famous phone call.
But I did have a lot of descriptions that were like Jew, Jew, kind of like a Jew vibe.
I can attest to this.
I was there.
I also did have a callback with a casting director who said, you're perfect for this because you're like pretty.
Sorry, you're not pretty, but you're like Jewish pretty.
No. Awesome. Really awesome stuff. I
I feel lucky enough where I'm at a place in my career with if shit like that happens to me, I will call them out.
Yeah. I'm not at that place. If someone disrespects me like that. Yeah.
I'm kind of at a place in life where I go, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Maybe with your freaking drug. Yeah, I go, yeah, probably for sure.
I hate it. I hate it. Because I think that everything has become so commodified in this industry anyway. And so it's like,
I don't know.
We're getting taken advantage of left and fucking.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, because they're always like, well, somebody will want it more.
Of course.
Of course.
And they will.
The vibe on set, and luckily PetSmart is like its own thing now, which is great.
But like when I was doing commercials pre-PetSmart, the vibe, I think the pandemic did this, but it has shifted from like, like, when I did my first ever national commercial, I had my own fucking little trailer.
I like had a designated chair on set.
It was a Tim and Eric commercial.
Like I was like, it was so, it was great.
I was treated so well.
And then the next couple commercials I did after that, I was like, this is awesome.
Pandemic happens.
The energy really shifted from, we're so lucky to have you to you.
You're so lucky to be here.
Yeah.
And they don't even give you chairs anymore.
Yeah.
Like, it's cruel.
You sit on the ground.
I literally am sitting on equipment and then the grip is like, I need that.
I'm like, I'm so sorry.
It is interesting how like the second any type of a system realizes they can treat people worse, they just will.
They do.
They're like, wait, wait, wait, we can pay you less.
Oh my God.
Go fuck yourself.
Have you seen the love sack?
drama? I'm sorry? I feel like I've met. Is LoveSack balls? But I don't, no, no, no. Love Sacks a chair
company, right? Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life? You know,
the same way you can skip an ad? I get it. I'm Siaia and I live in Ice Cove. I've made some
questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned. And today I'm still figuring it out.
Somehow things usually get worse before they get better. Apparently, that's how I roll.
So bundle up and come along for the bumpy ride.
Don't miss the new season of North of North
starting September 8th on CBC Gem.
The chair company.
Love sack.
Love sack.
Love sack sounds like it would be bald.
No, no.
You don't need to Google the drama.
I'm going to explain it.
Okay.
So.
Wait, what is it?
It's a big couch.
Just Google Love Sack.
It's a couch?
Just Google Lovsack.
There's a couch.
It's a couch with a name that sounds like this.
They also have these bean bags.
Why are they putting kids in the love sack?
I don't know.
hate this. I literally hate this.
Love sack is a horrible name. Go to their
couch. They started with the beanbag.
They started with the beanbag. That's why it was Love sack.
Because it's a sack. Who approved
of this name? Love sack.
Their old companies before things like this were like not okay.
Before sack was balls? There's no way.
That's a love sack. That's a normal couch.
Yeah, that should just be called normal couch. That should be called normal couch style.
Couch.
Guys, I'm so against this, but continue.
This guy, Derek, I think, ordered a love sack couch.
It's like a, I think it was like a $7,000 couch or something like that.
They cost $7,000 and their brand name is...
But their brand name is...
Love sack.
I know, I know.
I don't think it's normal.
I've just heard it.
Maybe it wasn't 7,000...
Oh, yeah, Sactionals.
And it's spelled wrong?
Huge saxional.
So these couches...
This is stupid.
He orders one.
They send it to him in like 40 separate packages.
You have to build the couch by hand.
Over time.
Over?
Oh, because it's a sectional.
So everything, it's like modular.
So he has to in hand, bit by bit, build this huge fucking couch.
And it's like truly 40 pieces.
He's attaching the legs.
He's put it.
He's upholstering like everything.
Like he, it's like a backward scavenging.
hunter hunt. I'm gonna be real. I love putting furniture together. He should have called me. I do too. I would have
gotten a little bit hard and I would have crushed it. Oh my God. Putting danger a shelf is like like
Nirvana for me. I literally love it. But on the flip side of that coin it's like they've realized that
they can ship you and not do the work. Yeah. They like they've realized that they don't have to
like it's just so late stage capitalism where it's like we don't have to get someone to we don't
to build the couch. We can just make all the pieces and we never have to fucking make a couch again.
We can make the consumers do that later. And so that's... And we can charge them more and we can
not pay them livable wages. It's insane. Yeah. It's good. Yeah, it's the craziest thing. Yeah.
It's like it's that that that is insane love sack drama. Yeah, that like that like, that like,
that like, that like third one there, I think is like round what he got. Oh, Jesus. Wow. So I guess don't buy
that. Don't buy that. No. And then Love Sack then released a video being like, it's so easy even a woman
can do it. I'm sorry?
No fucking way.
I'm sorry?
They were like,
here's how we're going to handle this guy literally like shitting on our company.
We're going to show a woman doing it being like, look, I'm not even wearing gloves.
This isn't even hard.
It isn't even hard.
To assemble myself.
Exactly.
And then the comments were all like, so you guys are saying it's so easy.
A woman can do it.
And then the CEO like did a self-facing video being like, hey guys, we hear you.
which is always just like
Hey I'm sorry
when yes that is what we were saying
I love
But now that you guys don't like it
I think we'll take it back
I love a mid-level drama
apology
Like when it's something really bad
Or really sad or like really fucked up
It's like oh god
It's not fun right now
But like when it's something like that
Or it's like this is all just messy
and bad and weird
And it's clear that like you guys suck
But like there's nothing like devastating
No
And I'm like I don't even buy a love sack out
We're not seeing human rights violations
and someone's like, hey guys, we've been really listening.
It's like so funny.
We heard you.
The company loves Sack.
We hurt you and the couch comes in too many boxes.
Love Sack.
It's so easy.
Even a woman can do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was like, that's our bad.
That's our bad.
We should have gotten a man to do it.
It would have been better.
What else do you look for in a friendship?
I look for, I was just having this conversation the other day.
Oh my God.
As I love talking about this stuff.
This is perfect.
I love it.
Yeah.
And I think that.
I also like, I had a weird like figuring myself out for a while. And now I think I've ended up
with like the greatest friends of the whole world. And so I, including us, including my cousins.
Including your two cousins who you rarely see but are related to and therefore it's like family.
I love and I watch you guys play video games. No, you're my family now. But I think that like, and I think
loyalty is a really big one. I think like yeah, the showing up repeatedly. I'm Italian. So I'll kill
your enemy.
A quarter Italians.
Are you full Italian?
No, I'm quarter.
We're both quarter Italian.
But it takes over.
I'm Italian and Irish.
And German.
She doesn't say that one.
Yeah, I don't say it because it's the scariest one.
Of course.
I pretend Italian's the scariest one, but it's not.
It's not.
It's not.
Of course, German is.
But that's the German part of me that hides the German because it's scarier if you
have a hidden weapon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your hidden weapon is that you're German?
Well, that part of me, the part that's like, I cut you off, I never fucking talk to you
again, you fucking
because Italian is like
I'll fucking
I'll kill your family
Irish is like I'll drink myself to death
and beat you up
and obviously I've never done any of those things
I've never beaten anyone up
I've never killed anyone else
I've never beaten anyone up
and I've never gotten beat up
but I've always wanted both
I've gotten beaten up once
You have?
Yeah
when I was a kid by a boy
Wow!
It felt weird
It was really unexpected
Did he was he like throwing
Like boom boom boom boom boom boom in my stomach
Oh
And anyone touched my stomach?
Why would anyone do that?
Because he was putting poison in his shirt and I was trying to stop him.
And he had some issues.
He was like a person who was a person with some issues.
He had some develop.
He was, he had anger issues.
Yeah.
He was trying to put snail poison.
There's always a kid in element with horrible anger issues.
Horrible.
Oh, yeah.
He was trying to put snail poison in his shirt and I was like, that's snail poison.
He wouldn't listen to me.
So I tried to take it out.
And then I ran away from home on a scooter because I was so upset.
I would have been upset.
I would have been upset
And then that kid was like
Where'd Olivia go?
I feel like
Where is she?
I miss her
Oh
Tough.
Strange.
Yeah, strange
I'm running away on a scooter
My friend
You had a scooter to run away on?
Yeah.
Awesome.
Oh.
Did I have a razor scooter?
At one point we did.
It was like one of those janky razorses.
I love those.
Bound down the street.
Went like a like a full freeway exit.
Did you have Helies?
No, my parents wouldn't let me.
Same.
We got to get you guys both helies.
I'm,
my goal for her.
adulthood is I am going to get Healy.
So here's my thing is that I've broken three bones in the past five years.
So we're not going to get three bones right now.
Oh, I just keep doing it.
Which bone?
Why?
Which bones?
Oh, don't worry about it.
I just keep doing it.
It actually past four years.
Right?
Anchor.
Encle?
ankle.
Fifth metatarsal on my right foot.
Iconic.
Broke on set.
Huge.
Torn meniscus.
Fall rock climbing.
Hate.
Rock climb?
East to.
I love rock.
I love it.
I love it. I miss it every day. Not doing it again because I injured myself. And I was diagnosed
by two doctors with a meniscus tear. And they were like, you need surgery. And this one doctor
in brother was like, you need surgery. We'll get you in next week. And I was like, hey, perfect.
He went in. There was no meniscus tear. He gave me surgery for nothing. It fucked in my body. It gave
me this like edema in my knee. Anyway, that happened. And then I don't trust any doctors in L.A.
anymore, by the way. That's like a hill. I'm sort of willing to die. That's okay.
And then I broke my ankle in April.
Damn. What? Going down the stairs.
Yeah. It's hard. Just walking them down. I broke my tibia and fibula going down a bouncy slide when I was in fifth grade.
It's hard. I wish I'd broken my bones when I was a little, but instead I'm getting it all out now.
Get it out. But then, yeah, maybe you should get helies and then you can break a couple more.
Yeah, if you're getting it out. That's why I want helies so bad, but I can't.
Well, I feel like we have the loyalty thing. Yeah. We can totally do that. Yeah, we're terrifying. We can totally.
What do you mean the loyalty? Oh, yeah. We are loyal. Sorry, I'm jumping back. We will lock in.
I feel like, I feel like we can definitely do that. I will be loyal to an extent that it harms me.
Oh, I love that though.
Yeah.
But like, I like that about myself.
I don't want to change that.
Yeah.
As long as it's for a good person.
I'm trying to think of what are the other.
Okay, so wait.
Loyalty.
Loyalty.
Inconsistent.
Yeah.
Fun?
Funny.
Fun and funny.
Fun and funny is pretty huge.
Yeah.
Bits is huge, I think.
Yeah.
Bits is huge.
Yeah.
Well, do you have openings right now?
For friends?
Yeah.
I have a couple openings for friends.
Okay.
Okay.
Great.
Great.
I do.
I think it's because I like,
really had the net really so big and then the past few years have been like really focusing on
the people that feel are really fully aligned.
Yeah, that is aging.
I think that is.
I love it.
Well, I love it.
And it's also that thing where it's like there are people that I'm like, oh, these were maybe,
maybe more peripheral friends or friends I was closer with when I was younger, but like I still
know them and I still would be so excited to see them.
But it's just like there are certain people that I'm like, okay, these are my like,
these are my, I talk to them everyday people.
I don't talk to anyone every day.
I don't talk to anyone every day.
But yeah, like these are my like consistent people.
But I love people.
I do, too.
I love friends.
I love friendship.
I love friends.
I love connecting with people.
On my 30th birthday, which was November.
Fifth day.
Thank you.
That was months and months.
Late.
Late birthday.
Late late late late late.
Super belated.
But went to Idol Wild with my six best friends and two of them flew in from New York to do it.
And it was just like that.
Where did you go?
And Ida Wild?
Yeah, where?
We, okay, you've been?
Because it's my favorite.
Have you been to Hicksville Pines?
Okay, because I, because I've been multiple times.
So for, since 30th birthday, we all did the same.
That's why I'm having a great an aneurysm.
We went to Idaho Wild for my 30th birthday.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
We went to Hicksville Pines.
You got to go to, which is it a rest of a, it's an inn.
It's the best place you'll ever go.
Oh, because I always love it.
I've run.
did a big ass cabin. This is better.
But I mean, that's great.
This is better. It's like a bunch of
separate little tiny houses.
Oh my God. Cabins. No.
I love a theme. So they give you weed when
you check in. No. Oh, I've driven by these.
I know exactly what's hard. They give you weed when you check in.
There's every single cabin is a different
theme. Yeah, I've driven by these many times. And then
it's like they have cats on the property that you can hang out with.
They have a 24-hour game room that you can go into anytime you can
like smoke and drink in the game room. It's huge.
They have like everything.
So there'll be other people kind of staying at the place while you're there with your friends,
unless you rent out the whole place, which we didn't do.
But it is possible.
Fun because you get to meet these other people who would also want to stay in a place like that.
Yeah.
Meaning on some level you're aligned.
Yeah.
There's like people from the Renfair.
Although one time I went there and the proud boys were there, which I did not like.
Okay.
So I would say in that.
At Hicksville Pines.
In that situation, you're not.
You're not aligned.
Yeah, I know, right?
You're not aligned in that sense.
Sorry.
You guys.
Yay. You guys. In that sense, I would say you're not quite aligned.
I was scared, I'll say.
But when we went for my birthday, we were in the communal room where everybody's playing
like arcade games and like smoking and whatever. And I was high out of my mind.
We were doing arts and crafts.
Oh, yeah, because I themed it like childhood. So we had a bunch of clay and construction paper
and one of those big parachutes. And we were just having like a little kid time.
And we were like on drugs. On drugs.
and I was so high and this woman was like, I want to give you clothes and furniture.
Huge.
She was like, I have clothes and furniture in the back of my car.
No.
I'm going to give it to you.
And I was like, I love that.
And I think we were both really high.
Yeah.
And she was like, I love that.
And she was like, I feel a connection with you.
I was like, I feel it.
I love it.
I'm ready for my clothes and my furniture.
She left.
I never saw her again.
That's awesome.
And now here's what I like.
I never saw that.
So that might not have happened.
No.
If I never saw it, maybe it's not real.
No, but like, that would be crazy.
There was another time I was super high in a grocery store.
You hallucinated a woman.
January 14th.
January 14th.
You're November what?
29th.
So you're a saggary.
Yeah.
Sadge.
Yeah.
And you're a Capricorn.
What are your big three?
I am a Sagittarius, cancer-rising Pisces Moon.
Okay.
We both have cancer.
I love being cancer.
Yeah.
having cancer in my big three.
I love cancers in general.
I love having cancer.
In my big three.
In my big three.
Wait, when's your birthday?
April 23rd.
I'm a Taurus.
You're a Taurus.
On the cusp of Aries with a Scorpio rising and a cancer man.
Wow.
Okay, cool.
So whatever the fuck that means.
I'm processing it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've gotten worried to me lately.
But yeah, you've got to take a friend group to Hicksville Pine slash we can take you and
we'll go.
Bring your friends.
We'll bring our friends.
Oh, that would be cute.
And we can, and yeah, there's a, there's a, never mind.
No.
There's a dolly partner room and it's really, really good.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
It's just sad, but it is.
Yeah.
Can you imagine if I didn't know?
And I was like, why?
Why?
Why is it sad?
No, that is the room I stayed in and I will say it is excellent.
They have a bunch of like her records and like a record player.
They have a bunch of like memorabilia of hers and they also have like a wooden tub.
Yeah.
I fuck with the Dita Vanty's room a lot.
What is that?
Oh, Dita Vanty's.
She's like a...
She's like a...
She's like a...
A burlesque performer.
Awesome.
And also the...
And she's ageless as well.
She is.
And then there's like a room
with just a bunch of video game
arcade games in it.
That's what I'm going to actually need to be it.
So anyway, I rarely go off topic.
Uh-huh.
And I rarely interrupt the conversation.
Of course.
But I needed to tell you about text.
This is fantastic.
Okay, this is fantastic.
I really...
The cabin we stayed in was like...
Like, if I could stay there every single time I would, it was so amazing.
And there was like a creek in the backyard.
And you could walk into town.
Yes.
Oh, no, no, we drove home.
I'm always trying to walk into town no matter where I stay.
But this place seems like a...
You get one DD.
And then they drive you into town.
I see.
Yeah, yeah.
I can be the DD.
No, no, no.
Or we can...
We'll hire one.
No, no.
We'll hire a DC.
We'll task grab at a D.
We'll get really rich and then we'll task grab at a D.D.
No, no.
I bet that's been done before.
Yeah, it should be. I was going to be like, it should be an app. It's Lyft, Uber. It's called Lyft. Oh my God, you're right. I was like, I was like getting a TV, like getting a. When you had an idea, I literally was like, you're like, yeah, like an app where you like get a designated driver. I'm going to. Lyft. I'm going to live for this. No, I literally like, you just crack the code. I'm going to K my S. I'm going to K my S. It's for real, for real. Lyft Uber vibe.
So that would be called Uber.
Anyway, what were other people's on?
You have a podcast that's not a real podcast.
Oh, I love it.
Do you tell people it's not a real podcast, or is that, like, the big secret?
People are like, what is it?
And I'm like, I don't know.
I have no clue.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Because, like, it's so genius because people don't actually listen to podcasts.
They just watch clips.
They watch clips.
Yeah.
That's why we did it.
That's so genius.
Because we were like, yeah, I had the idea.
of it being like an art perform, like a performance.
Yeah, it is.
Where we're making clips for the sake of making clips, but we're also mocking the like
sort of endless slob.
You're doing every podcast trope and you're taking it and making it like you're doing a bit
on every podcast clip trope.
And I haven't seen one that I don't fucking love.
Thank you so much.
That's so nice.
It's with Nabil, who is like my best friend.
He's the greatest.
We, yeah, we love doing it so much.
It's like our baby
And everyone's always like
Either people are so
Because we love finding
New people to like be like
What is this?
Because then the people that have been here
Or that have seen like we
Yeah yeah yeah
Like the audience can like play along
Can play along?
Yeah I love with that
People will be like
Where can I find this podcast
And people are like
It's on YouTube
People like it's on Spotify
And they're like I can't find it
And then we'll be like keep looking
It's wherever you get your podcasts of course
Exactly
Yeah it's everywhere you get podcasts
Of course
Yeah
And we spent
Nibiel and I
maybe spent like 20 hours landing on a name because we originally were going to just be bait
and then Riz Ahmed created a show called Bate and we're like we can't be baited.
No, take the bait is great.
Thank you.
It's really great.
That's really good.
Okay.
Rage baiting or queer baiting.
What?
Bating.
Yeah.
Wait.
Wait.
What are we picking about?
Okay.
I'm trying to think of things that have the word bait in them.
Okay.
Rage baiting always.
Jail bait or Jason Bateman?
Ooh. Wait, what's jailbate again?
It's an underage person that you shouldn't hook up with.
Jason Bateman?
Yes. You guys got both right.
You got both right. Oh my God. This is awesome.
Wait, this kid. I'm scared of this time.
Just giving one normal answer and one awful answer. I'm like, which one?
I love this game. It's easy.
Yeah, it's the easiest. It should be. It should be.
I'm trying to think of other words.
with bait in them.
Bate shop?
Debate.
Or debate?
No, see, those are two normal things.
No, we can save debate for a...
Yeah.
Bate shop or...
Bate shop.
Or...
Or chatterbate.
What's that?
That's a...
You guys don't know where chatterbate is?
No.
That's a porn site.
It is?
Yeah.
I don't really...
I don't really...
I mean, I'm not really in my porn era right now, but it is a...
I'll explore.
I don't know.
I explore.
I used to be...
I used to be like...
Like, sometimes I explore.
I used to be an explorer.
And now I just feel like everything I know.
Yeah.
Everything I know that's going to.
This to be, and this is a big statement.
And I really feel like I could get.
I don't know.
I don't know.
This is a big statement.
Same.
You can always cut it.
It's more creative in here.
Agree.
Than in here.
Agree.
I'm using my freaking mind palace.
I'm coming up with shit.
I'm coming up with shit.
And this wasn't always the case.
I needed a lot of inspo at first.
But now I feel like I've gotten an appropriate of my
of inspo and I'm coming up with shit that I can't find on this. And you say you can find porn
for everything, but I'm coming up with shit that's more better. I'm like, can you find porn where
they're in love? Yeah, can you find porn where it's, uh, riddle me there. Sorry, I'm not feeling the
genuine connection in this porn, but up here, oh, it's there. That's so good. Riddle me this. Are
these people in love? That's awesome. Yeah. No, but Chatterby, I don't know if it's like a can,
I've never, I don't think I've ever been on it, but I've seen it and I've heard people talk about it.
I don't know if it's a, like, as far as the. As far as the. As the. As far as the.
As far as the thing of like, you know, watching your stories or having your stories in your mind, I feel like I already don't get paid to be a writer all the time.
You don't want to do any unpaid labor.
I don't want to do more unpaid writing in my head.
I see what you mean.
I don't need to come up with any.
No, that's my meantime.
That's fair.
That's fair.
I have to chill.
You are not trying to do any labor.
No.
I totally get it.
I think I respect that so much.
I want to chill out.
No, I respect that.
Someone else do the work.
Absolutely.
I don't need to come up with scenarios.
No, yeah.
Yeah.
If it's not, no, yeah, yeah.
I think it's hard because I come from a like, if I, I can do it better if I do it myself mentality.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like, I'm going to do it myself.
Yeah.
It's not a bad mentality.
No.
No, it's also a good argument for masturbation.
It's the best argument.
It is.
It is.
Yeah.
So what do you think?
Do you think we're friends now?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
I think so.
I think so.
I think we should probably all go hang out at some point soon.
What do you think we get food?
What do you think we're going to do together that's going to be a friend thing?
Well, okay, so here's my thing is like, we wanted to be the three of us.
Hopefully.
Okay, great.
Did you want to just pick one?
Because if you do, sometimes.
I was saying, like, you guys are clearly best friends.
Sometimes people at the end of this, do you need to pick one of us?
No, no.
Okay, great, great, great, great, great.
Good. We were our third.
Yeah, talking about.
No, we don't want a fourth.
And we're kind of like one, sort of.
And then you guys are kind of like one.
And then we are going to find everything that we have in common.
And I'm sure there's a lot because we have a lot in common.
I guarantee you guys just have so many idiosyncrasies in common.
And I personally find that delightful.
Yeah.
Because God just better for me to just more for me.
More for me.
More for me.
Hungry, hungry over there.
Hungry, hungry.
I'm going to just keep saying Sutney and you're going to keep doing the Ariana Grande
rib.
Um, num, num, more for me.
Sutney, more for me.
Sutney, Sutney.
And we'll all be at a restaurant.
Huh?
Yeah.
Well, what?
we'll all be at a restaurant doing that
at each other. I said not to a cousin trip.
I think that restaurant is perfect.
Yeah. I do love to get a drink.
I'm obsessed with getting a drink.
I like that idea. I love to get a drink.
I think we should do that. And I think we should sit at an outdoor place and snacks.
Like a fun little cute vibe.
That's the thing is I'm very, I'm very vibe forward.
Me too.
Going out. I just like a vibe. I like a fun vibe.
Yeah. And I like something salty I can nibble my bits on.
Yeah, you got to nibble your bits.
I'm really in a tiki bar.
Yeah, I love that shit
