Starting point is 00:00:00 Stansy, we've never been speechless on this podcast. Yeah, the whole point of this podcast is we don't shut up and that was crazy. That was the longest. The first person in history to shut us up, Stansy Patenza! Play the mistake!
Starting point is 00:00:14 Good job cursing in the first 10 seconds. Right? Okay, again, we have been told not to curse in the first 90 seconds and here we are in the first 10. They didn't say anything about cursing in the first 10. They said not the first 90. Not the first 10. You don't play by the rules here.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah, that's very Cat Valentine. didn't say I couldn't sing moment. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Glad that wasn't he didn't say I couldn't sing. I remember it. Hi, everyone. Hi, welcome to the big loud podcast for you. This is Sydney Olivia Talk.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I'm the said one. I'm the Olivia one. And today we're here with a very special third one. Yeah, we got a good one. One of our favorite thirds in real life. Now you decide what that means. Yeah. Go home and really think about what that means.
Starting point is 00:01:10 This is internet. creator, brilliant comedian. Style icon. Genius person. Genius person, leather dress wearer, crock enthusiast. This is Stanzi Potenza. Oh my God. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Oh, my God. How are you? I'm so good. Ah, loflare. Stanzi, you know what's one of the best things about this is that we real life know you. Yeah. I know. Isn't that fun?
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah. Sometimes we bring in people who are like, we love you, we admire you from afar, but we don't know you. but we would love to get to know you. Yeah, and we're in time to get to know you. But now it's like, well, let's just hang out in front of cameras. Just be girls together. Let's just be girls together. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Before this, you were saying that you actually know a theory about Amelia Earhart and crabs. Oh, yeah. So I guess that's the first thing. Let's get right into that, I guess. Let's just get this out of the way. Let's get this out of the way so that people can stop asking. Yeah. I'm getting a lot of DMs.
Starting point is 00:02:08 So there was a theory that Amelia Earhart, like her plan. went down. That one has been proven to be true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That part of the theory is pretty much. She went missing. Yeah. Yeah, rumor has it.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Rumor has that the plane went down, but I think it's still up there. But I think she's still flying to this day. Just going round and around. But she, like the plane went down, but she was able to get out onto like a nearby island. But she was severely injured and she was eaten by coconut crabs, which is a pretty gnarly way to go, in my opinion. So here's my question then.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Can we just see what a coconut crab looks like? Yeah, what is the coconut crab? Because I can tell you that's way bigger than this crab. Yeah, it's not like a little... Oh, that sucks so much. Yeah, it's not like a little Sebastian from Little mermaid type shit. Oh my God, look at the one on the trash can. Oh, my God, those are sick.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Wait, that's fucking sick. Oh, yeah. So these guys potentially ate our girl Amelia. Yeah, they're like she's bleeding. she's looking pretty rough. Yeah, look at them. Compared to this guy, they're fucking huge. And where did this theory come from? Did someone go like, oh, I've seen it with me own eyes?
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yeah, yeah. I found the carcass. What is the... You was eating up by these crabs. What, yeah, theory's foundation. 13 bones were discovered that belonged to a female. Okay. And then everyone was like, based on that, I'm pretty fucking sure it's Amelia Earhart and crabs ate her.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Okay, so that's, I would call that fair. So, like, who really knows? To test the theory, they conducted experiments involving pig carcasses and coconut crabs, demonstrating that the crabs can efficiently strip a carcass in a relatively short amount of time. Oh. Well, okay, here's what I have to say. That's, like, a fun fact share when you're, like, in a new group. You're like, hi, my name's Olivia, and I can strip a carcass of its meat in a relatively short period of time.
Starting point is 00:04:03 What I was going to say is, you know how you can decide what happens to your body after you die? Like, for example, you can be burnt and then thrown into the ocean. Sometimes you can decide. Some people don't have that privilege. Right. Sometimes you can be put into a big joint burial hole. Yep. I think when I die, I would like my body to be eliminated by these crabs.
Starting point is 00:04:23 That sounds great. I would like it to be given to them, and then they can decide what to do with that. That sounds great. You guys remember that company that was like, oh, we'll plant your loved one into a tree. Yeah. And then they actually just stole all the bodies and didn't do that and just had a bunch of bodies. Is that actually what happened? Yes, they got very arrested. They got super arrested. Yeah. What did they, they just kept them in a, because I guess it was
Starting point is 00:04:47 cheaper to just keep them in a storage space. I didn't know it was the tree planting one. And so that's a oh yeah, because the people, that's a very thoughtful thing to be like, I want to be planted into a tree. Yeah, they stockpiled bodies. Oh, yeah. Not good. Not good. They were a couple, I think. Uh, good. I remember hearing about that and then the people that went into the unit were like, Oh, it was real bad in there. Yep. Oh, God. Real bad, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I at least hope they were doing something fun with the bodies and they were like dressing them up. I think they were stacking them on top. When you said something fun with the bodies, my mind went to a. Went to why men aren't allowed. Oh, me like, you mean like sexy times with the bodies? I'll tell you what they were doing and tell me if this sounds fun. Unfortunately, I will say that is a good way to bring in a third is if you don't want to risk it ruining your couple. Is it for me?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, if you don't want to ruin the relationship. with the third and have an awkward thing going on. It could just be dead. Right. And the thing is like if that's not ruining your relationship with your primary partner, I think, then that's a total conversation to have. And it could also ruin your relationship with the state because it's illegal. True.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah. Friends and family. It could ruin your relationship with the justice system. Yourself. Are we in the first like five minutes of this episode and we're already talking about fucking dead people? 100%. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Here's the thing. Do you think if a company was like, hey, we have crabs striped? your bodies. Coconut crab strip your body. It's the Amelia Earhart death. Like, the Amelia Earhart death package. Wait, if they get, do you think they'd actually do it or do you think they'd be like these motherfuckers? Stansy? Only you can really answer that. Because it's so niche. It is like the tree thing. And I'm like, or are you going to be honest? I feel like it could be profitable if it was like a company that they, they let you get the treatment, like the death treatment of like other celebrities
Starting point is 00:06:39 or well-known people that have died. They're like, how would you like to sort of go out? This could almost be like made like the what's it called medically assisted suicide thing. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:55 You know, you're going out anyway. A company that does like really fun. Choose a celebrity that you want to go out as you want like Maryland. That's fun. Elvis. Yeah. Maybe like a, I don't know, it could be other, like, big sort of deaths to, like, an Ocean Gate thing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yes. Yes. Yeah. Like, go out with a bang, literally. You know, if stuff starts getting a lot worse, that would become a profitable business. Because people, celebrity culture is so out of control. Yeah, people want to copy everything about celebrities. Why not copy their death?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Copy their death. Yeah. Oh, my. I feel like people would do it because people are crazy. 100%. I would say that that sentence is pretty much across the board always very bad. I think people would do it because people are crazy. Also, so many people have died at the Chateau Marmont, like so many celebrities have died at
Starting point is 00:07:44 the Chateau Marmont that they would probably have to open some new rooms. Yeah, they would have a headquarters at the Chateau Marmonde. They would have to do some new rooms. Yeah, I think that's an idea. I think that's a... Oh, yeah. Dang. Dang, kings and queens.
Starting point is 00:07:59 You know, we were talking about sort of like little party facts. Yes. Share earlier. What's yours? My favorite one is that... During the, so James Cameron, director of the Titanic, has gone down to the Titanic 33 times. He's gone down to visit. And he was actually down there when 9-11 happened.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I did know that. Yeah, right, okay? So he came back up and they were like, 9-11 happened. He was like, I don't know what that means. And they were like, well, you had to be there. He was like, can you put it in terms of Titanic? They're like, imagine if a building or two was a ship. He's like, got it.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Oh, okay, okay. Oh, my God, there's a video of him learning about what 9-11 is. Oh, somebody videotaped it? Yeah, he came up and they were like, James, oh my God. He was at one, like huge video taped it? It's a thing that's going on. Worst terrorist attack in history, Jim. We all were very wrapped up.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Oh, my God. Okay, I'm sorry, wait. Can we pause it? Him still climbing out and they say, worst terrorist attack in history, Jim. What? Well, you know, like, I feel like in that moment, like, you're like, you want to be the first one to tell James Cameron about this craziest thing that's happened. This is a Madlib. You're like, oh my God, I know, I'm just going to say this is a Madlib.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It's a, like, Blank came from a blank visiting blank only to discover that blank had happened. Yeah. And, like, you couldn't make it a crazier sentence. That, like, to be the one to say that to James Cameron, I mean, you know, insensitive, sure, but, like, to be the one to tell James Cameron about 9-11 happening. Do you think they had, they kind of, like, fought over who was going to do it? Yeah, they were like, whoever, they were like trying to get as close to the front as possible, like, James, guess what?
Starting point is 00:09:58 James, James, James, James, James, over here. James, over here, James, please. And then the second person who says something to him has to try to think of something to one-up it. Yeah. And in a second plane. Yeah. Fucking out what?
Starting point is 00:10:13 Did you hear about the Pentagon too? Wow. Oh my God. It's so crazy. Here's another thing. Bill Paxton was the one who broke the news to them. Oh, man. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:10:25 He gets the credit. Yeah. Good for him. You also said that he had visited 33 times. Yeah. Did he expect something to change? I think he's just obsessed with the Titanic. I get it.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Like there was going to be something different? down there? I eat it. When you go to your favorite restaurant or your favorite park. But the Titanic is not my favorite restaurant. It is a sunken show. Have you ever had the food there? Have I ever had the food at the Titanic?
Starting point is 00:10:50 At the Titanic? Because if you have nothing, how could you be, judgmental of it? It's just one of those things. I mean, I guess it corrobs more as time goes on. He needs to check in on the corroding. Yeah, yeah. He's just like, it's still rotting. I think every time he comes up, he goes, there's no way.
Starting point is 00:11:08 that whole thing's down there. I got to check again. I got to go again. There's no way I didn't make that up. It must be a trick of the eyes. He thinks he made it up. There's no way I didn't need that. Can someone come down with me this time and just make sure it's actually there?
Starting point is 00:11:21 I for sure made this out. When Ocean Gate happened, they were like interviewing him and stuff because he's like, yeah, no, that was carbon, like, fiber hall. He can't do that because he's just been down there so many times that he just knows so much about the, like, submersibles and what is. needed. Exactly. That's the video where he's just kind of like, yeah, you can't, you can't do that. What a guy, never. He didn't get certified because they knew they couldn't pass. Eesh, that sucks ass. Yeah, I would never. Ocean scares me. Ocean can be scary. It's a big, bad place we don't know. I like ocean, but then, yeah, once it's scary, it is so scary. Yeah, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:11:57 It's so much can go wrong. It's like most things that we love is. So fun, but once they become scary, they can be scary. Pass. Yeah. You know that I almost drowned when I was a kid, right? Where? You heard that story. In the ocean? I was at the beach and I got caught in a riptide and I got pulled out and I was like for sure thought I was going to die. How old were you? I was 11. And a man that I met the day before jumped in the water to pull me out.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And he had gotten me and but he was still struggling to get me out. His wife was the one that actually pulled me back onto the sand. But he had a heart attack while he was pulling me out and he died. like later that day. Yeah. Fucking crazy. Stansy, we've never been speechless on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah, the whole point of this podcast is we don't shut up and that was crazy. That was the longest. The first person in history to shut us up, Stansy, Potenza!
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yay! Play the music! It is one of those things where I've talked about it so much that when I tell the story, I'm just kind of like, yeah, and then this happened and then people have a very strong reaction to it.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Wow. There is a thing about knowing your traumatic experiences so well. Then you become like, this is just me story. Yeah, 100%. And this little tale that happened to me, you tell it at a party and you just go like, I remember in fourth grade, I was in a bank robbery. Yeah. And the mother pushed me down when the gun was at me.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And everyone's like, what? I think the thing that got me the most because I'm always hearing, you know, traumatic stories and I'm always ready to hear them, you know. I'm always like, okay. I'm always hearing traumatic stories. I'm always ready to hear. I'm always like, yeah, let's go. Can I ask from whom? From everyone.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Every person tells you their traumatic stories. Every person stops me on the street, shakes me by the shoulders and tells me. And I'm always like, yeah, it's fair. My father shot my mother. But what I didn't expect is for the, I didn't expect the guy to die. Yeah, because like it's traumatic enough to think that you're going to die. No, but that someone actually did, saving you is like so traumatic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:03 And he was for everyone. It wasn't his first time either. With a heart attack? No, saving. Oh, my God. Well, actually, I think he had had a heart attack that wasn't caught earlier like that year or something, like a few months before something. Was this that like a vacation area? It was like a private beach home. So it was their private beach home. So his wife worked with my mom. Oh, wow. And at like a therapist office. And they invited us over to their place. And they had a granddaughter that was about the age of my sister and I. So we actually, my sister and I ended up sleeping over.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And my mom went home. She was like, you're in good hands. I have to go home, do whatever. I think we had animals that she had to take care of. So she let us stay there. And it was the next morning that it happened. Holy shit. So you were in the house when it happened?
Starting point is 00:14:51 I was. It was the next morning that the drowning situation happened. Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. So it was like, we slept over. The next morning, we went out swimming. And I didn't notice at the time that I was just slowly getting pulled further and further. Oh my God. But that's riptides are like you have to really look out in the ocean like because you don't.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah. People walk into like the water and they don't know what to look out for and they just get swept away. And a lot of times they die because riptides are like you want to fight against them. And really what you have to do is kind of just let it take you until you're out of it. Yeah. But I was 11. I had no idea what I was dealing with. But he had actually saved someone before.
Starting point is 00:15:34 He had saved, I think, a couple that got, like, got, like, their boat tipped over or something, and he went out to save them because he was in the Navy. Holy shit. Yeah. So he, like, had experience with this stuff. But, yeah, so he was an amazing man. Yeah. And I had years to sort of deal with it. So, yeah, now when I, like, when I've talked about it online, people are like, why are you so chill about this situation?
Starting point is 00:15:56 Because you had many a year at a process. That's the thing is, like, people say their traumatic experiences, like, it's nothing. You're so used to it at some point Yeah Yeah, especially if you've had time to heal from it You're kind of like Yeah, then this happened And people are like, ayee, what?
Starting point is 00:16:14 And now I was in the room was like, ah And then you are like, wait, did I make you feel bad? I was like, ah, I meant to be super chill about it And kind of just be like, yeah, and then this happened. It is funny how like I don't think that ever happens In movies or TV But it happens constantly in real life. Rip tides?
Starting point is 00:16:31 Yeah, riptides, no. Quick sand, no. Like people just saying the shit that happened to them in a non-dramatic monologue, saying like the worst possible, like being like, oh, yeah, no, like, and then just some horrible thing. Super casually, like, whereas in film and TV, it's always like, okay, fine, I'll tell you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And it's like, I've actually seen that happen in real life maybe once or twice. And I've seen, like, oh, yeah, no, like I was kidnapped for a couple years. And they're doing shot at. Like, doing this. Like, I see that, like, a hundred times a day. And I think it's so interesting that I just made that, yeah. Yeah, no, it's so true. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I mean, we've talked about it on the podcast, I think, before. But my therapist had to tell me to stop doing shakas. Mine's fine with it. Yeah, I would say something super sad. And then I'd be like, oh, fucking hell, right? And she was like, let's not do that anymore. Let's not do it. Like, my bad.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I was like, okay, my bad. You know what's one thing kids should learn? Hmm. Budgeting? Yeah. Because I didn't learn budgeting as a child. It's actually really helpful now that we have things like Rocket Money, which is today's sponsor. Oh, my God. Rocket Money is an all-in-one personal finance app that helps you cancel subscriptions, lower bills, and manage your money better.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Recently, I realized I was subscribed to a service that I thought was just like a one-time thing. Yes. I thought I was purchasing something one time. And then I realized through Rocket Money that it is actually a subscription. I was able to cancel it directly in the app. And it was like really easy. I'm always forgetting when something is a recurring subscription and when something's not. Like I always think it's a one-time thing or I go like, oh, I'll remember to cancel it.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And then I truly don't because I don't remember anything. And so yeah, it's really helpful to be able to just search through your subscriptions with just like a couple taps. Yeah, I love using Rocket Money. I cancel unwanted subscriptions with it. I will connect my bank and then Rocket Money will tell me any of the subscriptions in a single list. Yeah, and you can set a budget. Yep. This is an actual app that I use to help me with budgeting.
Starting point is 00:18:37 We both genuinely love this app. Yeah, it has helped me so much. It reminds me of things that I don't remember signing up for. Yeah, subscriptions. I can cancel all of my subscriptions in one place if I want to. So take control of your finances today and go to rocketmoney.com slash sit and Olivia to get started for free. When we talked earlier about, like we were talking about, like, we were talking about, like, mental health sort of in film and television.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I think the movie is called Ordinary People with Donald Sutherland. I'm not entirely sure. Oh, I've heard of that. Ordinary people or normal people. Oh, yeah. Ordinary people. Donald Sutherland. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Yep. It was, we watched it in like a, when I was like a freshman, I think in, in college. Prior to me, like going to therapy, actually, we watched that movie. and it was very similar to what I experienced, where it was like a, it was like a boat accident, the brother dies, the kid feels very guilty about all of it.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Oh, shit. And it's like him sort of trying to deal with, like, the trauma of all of that. And it was, it felt so realistic to me, like, watching him deal with it. And,
Starting point is 00:19:53 and I had, like, I had, like, a mental breakdown after it. I had, like, a panic attack after it. Because I was like, oh my God. But I was like, that was like, one of the best sort of, like,
Starting point is 00:20:02 realistic depictions of like dealing with PTSD at least for me I felt like very because yeah sometimes you see it and it's like it's so crazy yeah it's great because it's like when it's done well fuck yeah that's all but when it's not it's like oh my god what what you this character hatched from an egg this morning yeah it's not a person on any level some uh uh I've been watching the I've been watching the new John Ham show which is called your friends and neighbors on I think it's on Apple okay and there's this one character who is his adult sister and her whole thing is that she's
Starting point is 00:20:36 like family fuck up because she's mentally ill. We don't know we don't know like what her illness is or what happened but we non-specific. When we are introduced to her, she is playing guitar on her ex-lover's lawn who is now married
Starting point is 00:20:52 and she's being like, I have folk music in my heart because of my mental breakdown and it's like what is happening. You know folk music and every time we see her she's either sorting pills or holding a guitar and then at some point I'm pretty sure we see her sort pills on a guitar. It's so good. And making a guitar out of pills.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And not only is she mentally ill, she's also an artist. She's an artist and therefore mentally ill. She's not the main character type of artist. She's the love interest type of artist. She's the unwell sweaters on the long. Everything about the character every time I'm like, it's so crazy that that's no one. That's nothing. How this is portrayed.
Starting point is 00:21:31 That's no one. is like how mental illness is portrayed in this show and it's so funny to me because I'm like, I know all you writers are ill because what people in Hollywood are not. Yeah. So we know that this isn't how it works, my friends, but it's pretty awesome. Also, have you ever seen the movie What Women Want? Oh my God. I know you just watched that. I haven't, I haven't. There is an excellent Nancy Myers movie called What Women Want, starring Mel Gibson. You know, our favorite person. I always saw the poster of this at the U.S. UCLA fucking film room. Heart throb Mel Gibson. And I've been on a big Nancy Myers kick and watching all the old Nancy Myers movies because it's just fun. And in this one, Mel Gibson gets the powers to hear what women are thinking in their minds because he gets electrocuted by a blow dryer while wearing a bra. Was this directed by a man? I don't know, but it was written by Nancy Myers. Okay. Which is crazy. Did she hatch from an egg this morning? Probably.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Or didn't get noted to death. It probably got noted to death. But truly every single... Did she direct it? Yeah. Fuck yeah. I mean, to be honest, I do love Nancy Myers. It's just, this is so crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:42 So yeah, that's him getting electrocuted. Awesome. Oh, I guess he doesn't have the bra on. But he was trying one on five seconds before, which is obviously why he gets the power. Right, of course. But every time he hears women's thoughts, it's usually like, I have to get my nails done at three,
Starting point is 00:22:55 or I have to pick up the kids at four. But then there's one one. woman who is a young Judy Greer who's thinking, if I just jumped, no one would miss me. Every other woman's like, oh, my breast. What? Oh, my period. She's wearing glasses and a turlnick, and she's like, none of these men know that I'm hot and therefore don't want to fuck me.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And so I'm going to kill myself. And then what eggs, what planet are the eggs from? I don't know. But it is awesome. And in the end, he saves her by just going to her. apartment and offering her a job, which is the way to cure depression. Oh my God. Every time I've been hardcore, real life, suicidal.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Yeah. When someone comes to my apartment and says, here's a job, I say, now I'm not. When someone breaks into my apartment, he gives me a job and says, hey, I know you think you're ugly, but you're hot. I go, well, now. Now, I'm not going to jump. I would you like to make minimum wage. My chemicals are different now.
Starting point is 00:23:54 My chemicals have changed now. But speaking of like all of the characters that are portrayed incorrectly to represent mental health in the media. Yes. We wanted to play a little game with. Oh, I love a little game. Oh, yeah. Oh, iconic. We wanted to do our impressions of how mentally ill people are portrayed in media.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yep. So, uh, play the music. Got the music. Oh, no. I'm doing the manic pixie dream girl. inaccurate portrayal of someone with ADHD. So this is what Hollywood thinks a woman with ADHD is. Stansy, do you want to be the sexy man in my...
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yes. Only always. I always want to be the sexy man. Interior coffee shop day. I wonder where she is. She's pretty late. Suddenly, candy 30s, overalls and pigtails, comes in hitting four chairs. Whoa!
Starting point is 00:24:52 Oh! Hey there, you're Robert, right? Um, no, I'm Jacob. Oh, you're right. Robert is my dad. And my llama. Um, sorry. Yeah, isn't this bad?
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. And then I say, sorry, my name is llama. I mean, candy. Oops, sorry I'm late. I lost track of time because I was knitting my back hair into fingerless gloves for local orphans. I'm best friends with all the local orphans, even though I'm an adult. And it's okay because my mom is dead.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I ran over someone with my bike today, but it's okay because I'm not like other girls. Time to put on makeup. Did you break your lipstick? Wow, she's so different. She's not like other girls, I know. So do we think that was good? It's pretty broke your lipstick and sitting on your chest. That's like part of it. She's like, oh, that's
Starting point is 00:25:40 my cleavage lipstick. I guess it goes there, yeah. So that's like. You probably think I'm pretty weird, huh? So she is, she has ADHD according to the writers. Yeah. Or I think that's just how they, it's like the manic pixie dream girl. Yes. And she and she is, And she is from like a millennial, like a bad millennial movie rom-com where it's like, I like her because she's different. She's different.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And we hate normal women. We hate normal women. I like her that she's different. Yeah. Yeah, I would say that's, I've seen that a lot. Yeah, for sure. I've seen what I just did a lot. And it really hurt to do that.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Do you want to do one? Yeah. Okay. So I was thinking about like, you know, me as a person who takes the big pills for the big depression, I was like, what's something I can relate to in media? And we're calling this... Oh yeah, because they don't really do depression and call it depression. No. Sometimes a character will be sad or depressed and they won't say it, but when they...
Starting point is 00:26:33 Yeah. So we're going to call this unspecified sent away disorder. Because in movies and TV shows, there's always a girl who just came back from a... From being sent away. ...some sort of mental health facility, but they never exactly explain what it is. An unspecified. So in this, this girl just got back from a... a 10-day hiatus to an unspecified mental facility for an unspecified reason.
Starting point is 00:27:01 So she'll be like in like middle school or something. Oh, middle school. Wow. Great. And the teacher says, Okay, class. Everybody be nice to Kayla. As we all know,
Starting point is 00:27:13 Kayla is back, but let's not ask Kayla any questions about where she went. Okay, let's just all act like it's normal. Okay, class? She stands in front of the class and says, That's right Weirdo freak girl is back Listen
Starting point is 00:27:29 I know you all want to ask me questions About the Looney Tunes jail I was just let out of So let's get a couple things straight Okay No, you don't have to treat me differently I'm still same old Kayla Fastest girl at kickball And best climber of trees
Starting point is 00:27:46 Fuck No, they didn't do testing on me Yeah No, I'm not wearing these striped arm socks to cover up a microchip they put in my skin. I'm not some freakazoid science experiment. I'm just Kayla, the same old girl who hides in the supply closet to smoke cigarettes with the janitor. No, my parents' divorce isn't what made me go crazy, okay?
Starting point is 00:28:10 No. I don't want to go to the homecoming dance with you, so don't even try asking. And yes, I did shave my head. Whoa, that's really good. And then picture my head is shaved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's kind of like what I feel like. Can we do it?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Yeah, let's do it. If we could fly in someone to shave my head. I feel like it would help you really get into character. It would really help the look of a unspecified sent away illness. Yeah. Yeah. So I think like there's like kind of a vibe of like just some girl who is back at school and everyone's like, where did she go? I feel like those always exist.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Always. Yeah. She's back in school and if she's not, she's back in town. And then everyone's just like, I guess the freak can talk. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 We all know that she can talk. You guys have known her for years. Yeah, we know Kayla. No, Kayla. Yeah. We all went to elementary school again. We've known her for years. We're on that science project.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Why are we being assholes? It's always like, she's always some guy's neighbor. Yes, 100%. Because that's all anyone can picture. And he's like maybe a little more popular than she is and he's just kind of like, I never thought of you that way. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah, it's always like, it's some boy like. Or he's like a super nerd, but he's like really innocent and she's like a dark outcast and he's like a light outcast. And then they like blend to make one big outcast. I always make tone outcast. Cool actually. Yeah. It's a hundred percent. He gets bullied by people for liking her and he's like actually Kayla's pretty cool. Yeah. Hey, I'm not. It's you guys who are the losers. Yeah. You should listen to her violin music sometimes. Yeah. And then she's actually really talented. And then when they do, she's cured. Yeah. And then she's of whatever it was. Of whatever it was. Of whatever it was. And we're never going to know what it was, but she is. And then we all just.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. And then we all slows up. That's beautiful. Stansy, any mental illnesses that you think are not done well enough in the media? We're going to take a darker turn. Schizophrenia. Okay. That is a good one because I can tell where you're going to go with, like, how badly that's portrayed. It's literally always, like, so often.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It doesn't happen in every hospital show that I see. Oh, God, she's taking off the crocks. Yeah, the cross. The crocs come off. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Usually a little bit of this. Yeah, yeah. If you're listening and not watching, Stonzie is on the chair, kind of.
Starting point is 00:30:31 She's perched like a bird. Yeah. It's usually like a rocking back and forth. And there's violence. There's a lot of like, these people are out here to kill you. It'll be like doctor walks in the room and it's just kind of like, what do you want? You see them too, right? That's always in.
Starting point is 00:30:53 That's really good. It won't stop. It won't stop. And then, like, they leave the hospital room. They're like, have you seen little Jamie? Like, where did they go? What happened? They're like, last time I saw them, they were in the cafeteria.
Starting point is 00:31:07 They steal a knife from the cafeteria. Oh, my God, they do. And then they kill someone. Yeah, like stab someone. They're like, I only did it because they told me to. A hundred percent. That is so good. That happened in I love ER.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Um, and that was one of my comfort shows, uh, when I was going through a really bad breakup. Um, because I was like watching these fictional characters, uh, get, like, killed in a terrible ways. There's something, there's something so nice about like a junk food show when you're, when you need it. It was like a great. And ER, um, John Carter right there, who is now on the, the pit. He created the pit. Oh, shit. Um, I, first of all, I loved ER. Um, but, um, but, you. they did have an episode where a schizophrenic character does get a knife and stabs Carter and another doctor. And I personally have a lot of experience with bipolar disorder in my family, relationships that I have, like a lot of friends, like, you know, just I've known a lot of people that have had
Starting point is 00:32:14 it. And I do know someone that has bipolar one that borders on schizophrenia. I know one of those. Yeah. And he is the most normal person I've ever met. And like compared to every other person in our friend group, like she was just kind of like she was the most normal one. Like she had a great job. All of us were artists that were like, yeah, we do crazy stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:43 And she was just like along for the ride and she was very sweet. And then, you know, like when we sort of talked about like her like, bipolar disorder. Like, she, she, I mean, it was, like, crazy stuff that she had gone through. Of course. Yeah. But, like, it was never, like, this person's a threat to society. No.
Starting point is 00:33:03 No. And that's what's the crazy. Yeah. It's, like, it's always, it's the thing you said during the thing of, you see them too, right? Or, like, I had to because they told me to. Yeah. Yeah. It's such a funny thing because that's always how it's portrayed of, like, I saw the voices and
Starting point is 00:33:19 they told me to kill. To kill. To kill. Yeah. And it's like, sure, is that scary? Absolutely. Good job scaring me, but that's not like a... I doubt you what it is all the time.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Yeah, because a lot of people I see talk about it are like, yeah, no, I see a guy right there. Yeah. I don't think he's real. I saw a girl on TikTok that was talking about having schizophrenia, and she was working at a bakery and they would hand out, like, samples to people. And she handed out a sample to... to someone that she hallucinated and it fell on the floor and she filmed it after. She was like, I thought someone was standing in front of me so I handed it to him and then it just fell on the floor and she was just laughing about it.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Which it's like that's scary and intense, but like, you know your disorder. It's like when you have a grip on your things, right? Like everyone has their, everyone has things, you know, and once you're like, I know how to deal with my things. I have a grip on what my things are. Sure, it's like scary and freaky, but it's also kind of just. just like, once you have a handle on, it becomes more normal to you, and then you can just function. I don't know, like, that's, I would, I would, yeah. I also think handing a pastry to somebody in a bakery and then them not grabbing it,
Starting point is 00:34:31 and in turn, it just falls on the floor is, I would say, slightly different from stabbing someone because the hallucination told you to. Yeah, 100%. You know, it also is not portrayed well at all, ever. Siblings. Oh, I was going to say OCD, but siblings. Oh, my God, OCD is never portrayed correctly. I actually have OCD.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It's never... Wait, I'm sorry. Go back. What do you mean? You're right. I met like adult siblings. Yeah, adult siblings and TV shows and TV. Are they too romantic with each other?
Starting point is 00:35:00 They're always, they're either like they're gonna, like, they've never met. They're either, they've never met, they're gonna fuck. Or they're like, okay, okay, stupid. Or they're like five. Have you seen the Folgers commercial? Yes. Oh, yeah. I joke about it a lot in anime because it's a huge trope in anime where the siblings.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Did I see your video about like, oh, probably. I made it least too. I made it least too. I like recently. That's so good. Big Brother's the best. Oh, damn? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I would never. He's my brother. Oh, I wanted to absolutely end it, right? Yeah. I know, right? Don't you just want to like, oh? No, I, that's really, it's like, it's weirdly accurate. It's, I mean, it's the same thing on the, on the freaking, um, uh, John Ham show is like,
Starting point is 00:35:40 he and his sister, they're both adults and they have no idea how to write it. So it's just both of them being like, stupid. How are you dumb, dumb? Yeah, it's either like, it's, it's, I don't. It's either like we are lovers, we are twin 11-year-old siblings both going through puberty and fighting every day, or we have truly never met. I mean, truly the only accurate depiction of adult siblings is on White Lotus season three. Three, yeah, of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Let's go back. You were saying they don't portray OCD correctly, which is true. Yeah, I was just like, they always just do like, it's about being clean, clean, clean, and it's about everything being perfect. That is so frustrating. No, it's about being like, am I attracted to animals? Let me pray for hours to make sure I'm not attracted to animals just in case I am. So I got diagnosed with OCD probably a few years ago. I didn't realize I had it until I had people point out different things that I was doing that they were like, oh, you have OCD thumbs.
Starting point is 00:36:38 And I go, what the fuck is that? And they were like, I guess it's when you just like pick at your skin and you pull it. And I was like, oh, yeah, because I would do it until they would bleed. Yeah. I didn't know that the thumbs were specifically. I know the term OCD thumbs, but I will say a really cool band name. Yeah, OCD. We're the OCD thumbs.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I do base and the OCD thumbs. And I, like, once I started learning more about OCD, I was like, oh, that's what that is. It is nothing like how it is a lot of it is like focusing on, hyperfixating on like death and dying, which made sense after I went through what I went through. because I was very, like, focused on, like, once I had to confront my own mortality. At the ripe age of 11. Yeah, I was like, oh, and I thought I was going to die and that I didn't. And so then I was, like, very, like, insane whiplash. Yeah, it was really crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And so, like, ever since then, I've always, but, like, I always think about, like, family dying. I'm like, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? What am I going to do? Or, like, think, yeah, like, I would just have, like, I don't know, I would like have a really dark thoughts about like, what if this happens to, like, one of my family members? Or I would do this thing where I would like be, let's say, like, this is a tiled floor. I used to do this thing in one of my old houses where I was like, okay, I'm walking down the stairs and I can't step on that tile or my mom will die.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Right. It was like weird stuff like that. Yeah, and it's just like fact in your brain. It's just fact. And it's like, listen, it is. Like, it's just fact. And you're like, okay, heard? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:13 And also like there's, what they don't, what they didn't tell you is there's so much like, really. rumination stuff, right? Like, there's a lot of, like, internal ritualing and compulsions that are like, yeah. Like, there are physical compulsions, but it's not just physical. Yeah. I'm never, like, clean, clean. Yeah, yeah. Turn off.
Starting point is 00:38:29 But it's like, but it's like everyone's is different. It's a spectrum. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I think, like, a very common thing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is like having, like, repetitive, like, intrusive thoughts or images of things. Yes. And, um, because I get that one and it's very awful.
Starting point is 00:38:45 It's awful. Yeah. fact. It's lovely. The kind of thing you're like, I actually can't even explain this out loud because it's so disturbing. I can't explain why I'm not eating right now. That's the thing. It's like I don't like to tell my family about like having dark thoughts about them dying because that is a very upsetting thing to say to someone. Also, if someone has the ability to hyperfixate or obsess on something, sometimes I'll worry like, oh no, if I say this horrible thought, maybe it'll get stuck in your head. In your head too, yeah. But like the thing is that they really do portray it so accurately in the media because usually characters with
Starting point is 00:39:13 OCD love clean. That's so true. And when you think about it. it. They love clean. They love too clean. They love clean. They love when colors are the same. Organized by color. Make the rainbow in order. The rainbow in order, like putting a bookshelf in order of color. Scrub a plate. Put it back. Scrub it again. And that's it. And that's it. And you're fine.
Starting point is 00:39:30 As long as it's clean, you're fine. As long clean, fine. As long clean, fine. Fine. No bad thoughts. In fact, and in fact, it's actually corky. Yeah, like, I would love to see, I would love to see Monica from Friends have an episode where she thinks she hit a body. Yeah, driving. Like, where she's like driving. She has to do
Starting point is 00:39:45 like some driving thing and she's like I fucking hit a body and she has to keep going back and checking. Like that would be a great episode. Yeah. I would love to see her do something that I did which is I saw a horror movie about bears, not cocaine bear. It was called Backcountry. Terrible portrayal of bears. Yeah, a man getting mauled by a bear. Like it was like very realistic. Like man gets mauled by bear and you're like, oh and then that's stuck in my head. Oh, so that right. And so then I'm like, and now I Google bears at three. AM. Just bears? Just bears? Bear attacks. Yeah, bear attacks. And then, but then that turns into, because it's like a spiral, and that turns into like information about bears, which bear is worst.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Which bear is worse? And then, and so people will, I will have this like random arsenal of information about bears. People are like, do you like bears? I'm like, no. No. It's, it's about knowing your enemy. That is so funny. Keep your friends close. Keep your bears closer. So when that trend came around, that's like, would you rather be in the woods with a man or a bear? You were like, God, you know, I made a video about, like, in support of the bear, obviously, because I was like, I'm not going to, like, bear's scary, but like, I'm not going to defend men. No, I'm not going to pick men out of this. But at the same time, when that trend was going on, I was like, fuck no. I was like, I do not want to be, I don't go into the woods, first of all.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I don't go into the one animal that made it a really hard question. Like, they gave you the hardest animal. Like, oh, really? Like if it was man versus shark, do you think you would have done better? No. Okay. One, because ocean. Two.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Fair, fair. Fair. And I actually, sharks are my favorite animal. I love them. I don't want to be anywhere near them because I also will look up shark attack videos and then read up about them. And I already knew a lot of shark facts because I loved them. What makes them your favorite? I just had like an interest in them when I was younger and I would just buy books about sharks and read them.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Shark Week came out. Shark Week posted me on their Facebook page a few years of it. Put me in a video as one of their top shark fans. Whoa! Oh, they're top sharks. So, yeah, it was pretty sick. That's pretty sick to my stomach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:59 That's awesome. I love that. Getting eaten by an animal, terrible way to go. Unless it's coconut crabs. Unless it's the crab, yeah. Oh, yeah. If it's coconut crabs, I'm like, oh, take me. That's what happened to Amelia Earhart.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I want to be eaten by all of the hermit crabs from the mall kiosks. Yeah, I want to be eaten by the one hermit crab that was loose in my room for waiting. room for weeks. Yeah, I gave Olivia two her macraps for her birthday in college and one of them got lost and lived. Lived. Lived underneath a bed with no food or water. Seen animals are really hard to take care of. I had fish. Goldfish? No, I had like a weird collection. I had upside down catfish. They swam like this. Oh, so they're sexy is what you're saying. They were super sexy and I was, I didn't want to admit that I was turned on. So I never. So So that's what you told it.
Starting point is 00:42:46 So that's when you turned the lights on and off. They're like this big. I'm just like, yeah. But I can't love you. That's them. Oh, yeah. That is sexy. They're right?
Starting point is 00:42:56 Aren't you like a little hornier? Those fish moved by shimmying? Yeah, a little bit. That's kind of what it looks like when they swim. But I also had these like invisible fish kind of that like their skin was see through. Oh, I think yes. Yeah, you could see their eyes and their spines and like whatever organ stuff was going on inside. You're like translucent.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yes, yeah. Like you see, they're like, ooh, yeah. Yeah, those are sexy fish. Yeah, exactly. You get it. I got it. But the upside, one day we were cleaning out the fish bowl, and my sister didn't know that my mom and I were cleaning it out.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So we had the bowl of fish on the ground. She walks in the room, steps in the bowl. Oh, no, no, no. Fish go flying. And, you know, we were like picking up the out of the bowl. And so we were picking them up and we're putting them back in. But the invisible fish were invisible. So we, like, never found them.
Starting point is 00:43:49 So there was just, yeah, there was just like a business fish carcass, probably somewhere in my rug. Still? Probably to this day, I hope whoever lives there now, one day they're going to be like, is this a little. One of my best friends from high school had a string of beta fish that committed suicide. They jumped out of old. And a puffer fish. And we would find them behind the couch. It was awful.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Oh, my God. I don't know how they got that far. Like, they got so far. They would commit suicide. They were like jude. in what women want. Yeah, except there was no... The one right next to is kind of the one that I had.
Starting point is 00:44:21 To give her a job. Oh, my God. Right. That's also a very cool looking fish. Right? I was like, this is pretty neat. Oh, my God. You know, and they perished, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:44:33 But don't we all? But don't we all, really? And don't we all? Here is a fun segment. Yeah. It's kind of fun. It's just sort of a segment called Should that exist?
Starting point is 00:44:46 Music. Cut the music. Okay, so should that exist, we kind of went through and found some things that are a little bit... Recent pop-culture-y, but I don't know. Recent controversial things, and we're going to decide if they should exist or not. The first one, apparently... Oh, we're going to start with a really interesting one. People online are pressed about this.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Is that how people say it? Yeah, that's exactly how we say it. Okay. Yes. Sorry, I'm learning how to say it. to be human. Okay. You hatched this morning. I hatched this morning. And how do I talk to a sibling? Hello. I hatched this morning. I'm here to fuck my sibling. So apparently, uh, young people are now wearing milkmaid dresses to the club. Have you heard of this? I did. 19 to 22 year olds have been
Starting point is 00:45:33 wearing milk made dresses to the club. People are saying this is a sign of being conservative. Oh yeah. Okay. 19 year olds aren't allowed at the club. Well, okay. Like people, young people. The 18 plus clubs. Okay. So I have a very nuanced take on this, but I want to hear everyone else's take first. Stansy, go for it. I mean, and also if you don't know what a milk-made dress is, it is like a sort of...
Starting point is 00:46:01 A milk-a-dress. For the audience. Yeah. You know what it is. Never mind. Yeah, kind of like flowy, usually pastel, white. Kind of like... Linen's kind, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Very little house on the press. Esk. Yeah. I actually just wore a very like milkmaid style dress the other day that I posted on Instagram and it is very much like that. I look like a Victorian ghost. Yes. No, I, I said yes too fast because that sounded like I agreed that you looked like a Victorian ghost and that would have sucked. That would have been great because I, that's what you were going for. That was the look. That's 100%. A lot of people told me I looked like I was haunting. Great. And I was like that was the, I was trying to look like the dead sister from hocus pocus. God, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah. So Milkmaid dresses at the club. Yeah. Look, I, you can wear whatever you want. I mean, back in, yeah. When I was, like, younger and first started going to the club, a lot of people were wearing the, it was the business, it was like the business chic at the club that we make fun of now.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Oh, like the tith? The blazers. Yeah, the best. It was like, you just got out of the office. It was almost like, what was it, they call it, office sign? Yeah. It was like almost like office siren, but a little more cringe. Like that's what people... It was back when Forever 21 was selling pre-rolled up blazers and the roll, the last cuff had a, like, it was like silk with stripes. Does that make sense or is that way too specific? No, I get it. I used to wear blazers to the club. I get it. I don't, uh, I do love going to the club. I think if I saw a milkmaid dress at the club, I'd be like, what the
Starting point is 00:47:44 who's this ghost haunting this club? You like that. I do love a haunted club. Yeah, I do love a haunted club. I would never wear something like that to the club. Okay. But I'm not going to, you know, I guess if you want to go for it, if you're a hot girl, they're going to let you in whatever you're wearing anyway.
Starting point is 00:48:06 All right, Sid, what's your take? My thing is I think everyone should be able to wear whatever they want, really. Yeah. I don't necessarily know that this is a sign of people. becoming more conservative, although I understand what people are saying. I kind of think it's more just like people wanting to be comfortable. Like to me, that looks more comfortable than like a skin tight dress. So I understand, especially if you're like drinking a lot and you're like, oh, I'm going to feel a little like bloated and I just would rather feel a little flowy. I totally get it.
Starting point is 00:48:34 So I understand that. I don't care what you wear to the club. I won't be there because I'll be at home watching reality TV. Fair. But I've been denounced. from a club for wearing jeans and all my friends were let in. So maybe I'm kind of like, let everyone wear what they want. I think that's fair. I'm coming from a very specific point of view, which is raging leftist who loves milkmaid dresses on my body. I love to wear them. Yeah. I love to wear feminine form fitting shit. I think it looks so good on me. I also wear other shit, but I just dress really femme. I just like how it looks on me. And I, I still kind of, I, A, think everyone should be allowed to wear whatever the fuck they want at the club, unless it's like got a hate symbol on it.
Starting point is 00:49:21 In which case, let's not do that. But like this, sure, do your thing. I don't give a fuck. I will say, I do agree with the fact that there's a lot of micro things bringing back that trad wife, super hyperfam. I think if you are hyperfem right now, and this is only like a right now in this time and history part, I think it's important to be outspoken about. your political beliefs if you're super femme because there's like a little tiny bit of a it is I'm not going to say it's not real like there's a thing online where it's like there's a lot of this like you know making fun of of like this I watched a girl make fun of people being upset at this trend which objectively
Starting point is 00:50:01 like yeah it is kind of stupid to be upset at what other people are wearing sure sure who gives a fog but you know she was being like oh wow now we're all maga now we're all conservative and like making fun of it and I was kind of like okay where is she going with this and at the end she's like well and like after this very this video where she was like very like I'm in the middle this isn't political she's like yeah maybe like you're just upset because women are enjoying being feminine again and men are attracted to feminine
Starting point is 00:50:24 women and it's like that's what you meant you said it at the end you know and so it's like we got you on camera and being like um is it misogynistic to dress modest and it's like no do whatever the fuck you want but you still said it at the end you still said it you know yeah I guess it's hypocritical because what you're saying is like well, I'm not dressing for the male gaze.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I'm dressing for what I want. And then at the end, still admitting to dressing for the male gay. Yeah. Whether you're wearing a like super, like super tight short shorts, because they're all comparing it to that being like, ugh, these girls are like people are being like, I want to dress like snooky, but all these people are dressed like trad wives. And it's like, okay, dress however the fuck you want.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Yeah, exactly. But the point is do it because that's how you want to dress, not because you're like, um, my only purpose is being a whole. Yeah. And there's a lot. It's not even just the trad wife. Hand down. Hand down.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Hand down. What if... Purpose is being a home? I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl. Oh, I just need a big strong man. Just a hole for my brother. Just a hole for my big strong brother.
Starting point is 00:51:28 My brother, that loves Fulger. This week on C-B-S. Can you see my brother too? I'm just a hole for my brother. You want to fuck him too, right? You want to fuck my brother too, right? You see him too, right? You want to...
Starting point is 00:51:40 He's so hot, don't you think? I had a father told me. He's using him, too? Guys, I do think there could be a show, like an episode of ER if we're going to be talking about the girl who's like super schizophrenic in the bad portrayal of schizophrenia. There should be an episode of ER where the poorly portrayed schizophrenic girl keeps her adult brother. He keeps fantasizing her brother and he's too hot. And he's so hot. And he's shirtless the whole time and he's like, what mom always said.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Yeah. We got to stick together. Yeah. And you got to kill that guy. Kill that guy. You got to stab that guy then. Fuck me. Yeah. I think that's actually a perfect TV show. Okay. Are we going to win some Emmys? Okay. Yeah. Now, me thinks an Emmy is coming our way. Okay. He thinks Emmys for me.
Starting point is 00:52:30 The next thing on the list, which is related to this, is this hat. This hat has also become popular. Guess where. And what do you think about this? Oh, I've seen it. Oh, it's. It looks like you should be like, oh, Mr. Wickham's coming over. Yeah. So people are saying this hat is a little reminiscent of the bonnet they wear in the handmaids tail. It's a little handmade's tail. And I would also accept arguments where people are like, it's not exactly the same.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Totally. I understand it's not exactly the same. But tell me what other hat it's closer to. I think it reminds me very much of like pride and prejudice. Yes. reminds me of like 1800 sort of... It feels like this is a hat you wear when you own human beings? Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Uh-oh. Is it not? Well, when you're trying to sue Mr. Dossi. It's definitely... Yeah, no, I see that as well. And I will say, once again, I love when anyone wears whatever the fuck they want to wear. And if this is not the intention and we're not doing like a dark undercurrent here, where it seems very clearly like what it is is what it is.
Starting point is 00:53:44 it is, then awesome. I guess what I'm thinking is she just loves the hat, then I love that for her. You know how, I don't know. Fashion always comes back, right? Yeah. We always are adopting. It's always recycling. We're always adopting things that were popular a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:53:56 I don't know that we have to go this far back. Yeah. Yeah. Look up like 1800s like bonnets. Yeah. Because that'll probably. Maybe we can just go back to, I don't know, the 90s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Like that's, I think, what they're going for. Right. I mean, to be fair, this bitch is iconic. I yeah and like I'm like if you're dressing like okay that's that's literally what I look like wait so put put that photo next to me right now that's truly how I see myself maybe you need a bonnet what the fuck is a Charleston
Starting point is 00:54:30 bonnet because that doesn't that bitch's eyes were identical to my eyes like one of them was kind of floating away kind of how mine does yeah like when you see some of the lower ones like that is I think what they're going for It is still handmade-ass. Yeah, that's not exact, but boy. I can tell you. But it is regardless of what they're going for, it is ugly.
Starting point is 00:54:52 And also, and you should stop. Even with these people, like, can you go back to that picture up there? The one that looks like you? No, that one. Yeah, her. Like, I probably don't, like, agree with her political beliefs, right? No. No.
Starting point is 00:55:06 She's very much like the South needs to secede. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It feels like the South needs to secede has. Right. And maybe I'm wrong, but I still am allowed to have my feelings, and that's how I feel. And based on the current political climate, I think leaning in that direction, which is why even, that's why, yeah. You just got to be careful right now.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You've got to be very supportive loudly of who you're supportive of. You just got to be careful right now. What's this bitch's deal? Like, I'm going to tell you, that girl and I don't have the same views on human rights. She would fucking hate me. She would think I was so fucking annoyed. She doesn't even look like she likes Italian. No.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Yeah. You're fucked. She would hit her last name and she'd be like, get that one out of here. She's like, Irish people aren't white. Like, she's still, yeah. But you know what? I'm pretty sure she likes Jews. I'm safe.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I'm kidding. Oh, definitely. She doesn't like Jews. She very clearly doesn't like Jews. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. She was not on board for any of that until they needed to rally. the Italian and white people because they're like, we need more whites.
Starting point is 00:56:17 The slavery is over. We need more whites. Whoever people, they weren't white, they really stuck with that. They took it, they sprinted away with it, and we were like, yes. I'm an Irish Italian. Me too. So we drink and fight. So we drink and fight.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And commit epic revenge. Yeah. We bring guns to places. We commit the best revenge that there is. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, we can hold a grudge and hold down our feelings. Yeah. When the Italian comes out, that's when we're yelling.
Starting point is 00:56:43 And when we need to bury things, that's the Irish. Yep. 100%. But it is like the Irish, you're like, well, the Irish were persecuted too. And then the Italians were like, we're not really white. And it's like, guys, I understand what the Irish are saying. I understand. But they're still white.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And guys, hey, Sudney, did you have a headline that you were keeping a secret from me? Okay, so here's another one. Here's another thing on the list. Where the fuck is it? Okay, here's another thing on the list of should that exist. Reminder, we're still playing this game. This is a headline I saw, and I just kind of wanted to see if you guys think it should exist. Chah Ching, millions of dimes spill onto Texas highway after truck rolls.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Oh, God. Is that the New York Post? No, this is AP News. There is a headline that says, cha-ching, millions of things. of dimes spill on Texas Highway after truck rolls. Now, the truck rolled. So here's a question. Those people had to go to the hospital. I was going to ask, in the article that starts with Chiching. It starts with Chiching. Do they later on say, like, Chiching, there were five injuries? Chiching, they had to go to the hospital, Chiching, critical injury.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Millions of dimes. Why, that's so many. And can I tell you something? Dimes, not really what I say chiching to. Okay, well, you know what? I do say chiching to. I say chiching. The injury. Are not life-freatening. Okay, chiching. I would have started off by saying, no, this shouldn't exist. And I've had so much fun in the last 30 seconds that I'm going to do a complete 180. Great.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And I think that every, every, like, scary and bad headlines should start with, like, cha-ching or something. You got to, if you're into that, you've got to look up, like, New York Post headlines, because they are, they are brutal. There was one. I talked about one on my old podcast where it was, like, loner dies after St. stabbing himself from trying to like split, uh, frozen patties in half. Looner.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Looner. Looner. Yeah. Fatal injuries. Fatal injury after. It's so bad, right? And then there was another one where a woman got attacked by river otters. That's. And you're reading it.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I forget what the, uh, headline was. But when you're reading the article, it starts off with that otter hurt. Oh! It's, and then later they do it again. It's like, she's in the ICU. you that ought to hurt. And they do it again later. They go, she must be utterly devastated.
Starting point is 00:59:21 I'm like, damn, just a knife twist. Wow. Oh my God. Whoever wrote that needs to be fired, unfortunately. I mean, New York Post. I think they should lean in to being like, we are, we present news in the worst way possible.
Starting point is 00:59:36 They do. Oh my God, wait, yeah. Jogger left bloody dazed in crying after getting mauled. And then it, by, again, that That otter leave a mark. The headline is, was left crying. That otter leave a mark. I'm sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:59:50 That otter leave a mark. A woman was left crying in a pool of her own blood. That is how it goes. A woman was left crying in a pool of her own blood after getting stabbed by a gang of otters. Hey, wait. A gang of otters. Yeah, because river otters are like really, because you always see otters, see otters being all cute and stuff. No, otters.
Starting point is 01:00:11 But, but yeah, but river otters. They do. They're dead otters. River otters are like the bad ones. They're like the scary bad ones. Are they the ones that wrecked dead otters? Probably. Yeah, river otters are like the mean fucked up ones.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Can you look up if river otters do not because I think they do and we don't have to keep it but I just want to know. I mean, we might have something in common. We could find common ground between these otters. Not images. Yes, otters, the violent. Oh, sea otters, too. Oh, and then I'm not going to read the rest of it. They're so cute.
Starting point is 01:00:42 And like you buy stuffed ores. otters for like your niece or something. But meanwhile, they're neck-de-hack. Yeah. Do you even know about celebrity culture, Sydney? That's true. You give a stuffed animal to your niece. You know these otters assault each other. Here's a Michael Jackson's action figure.
Starting point is 01:00:58 To my son in the 90s. That's true. We can't really idolize any celebrity. We have to separate the art from the artist. Here's one more headline that I need to know. Yeah, I'm excited. Is this okay? Is this allowed? No sweat. Humanoid robots run a Chinese half marathon alongside flesh and blood competitors.
Starting point is 01:01:21 So remember how that's, okay, so here I have a lot of things about this. Right. Referring to a person as a flesh and blood competitor. Yeah. No sweat. That would be my biggest take as well. Humanoid robots run a Chinese half marathon alongside flesh and blood competitors. That's what they're going to call us when the robots eventually oppress us.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Yeah, flesh and blood. Yeah, I think we're going to need like some dystopian novel where it's about robots referring to their human employees as flush in blood. Like, flesh and blood competitors. Or we can just wait for it to happen. The thing that I think is so crazy just with the whole, all of the robotics and AI situations going on. I just think it's so crazy that they go like, we made an AI thing and we're going to have it do not what could like help society, but what's the coolest thing a person could do. Like, we're going to have it write a screenplay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:22 We're going to have it run a marathon. Yeah. And it's like, okay, can it like fix cancer? Cancer? I don't know. Yeah. Let it fix cancer. Can it like figure out how to like deliver clean water to like places that don't have it?
Starting point is 01:02:36 And then like, like, oh, no, but it could definitely run. It can run a marathon. It didn't even sweat. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, the AI stuff is so bad because it's like, can this, yeah, can this cure, like, Alzheimer's? Yeah. Can we find a cure for Alzheimer's? Like, no, but it can make Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Yeah. And it's like, and guess what? It will have the wrong number of fingers. One more thing. Yeah. We've got one more thing on the list of should that exist. Matt Rife is joining the ghost adventures crew. Olivia has walked off camera.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Matt Rife, popular. She's doing an episode, right? I don't know. But, I mean, if it's an episode, like... Did you hear that the ghost hunter guy's wife tried to kill him? Yes. Yes, Aaron's wife tried to kill him. Okay, so...
Starting point is 01:03:21 She went to jail. Was this recent? Yes, this was, like, very recent. Okay, so I'm going to get into some deep cut Olivia stuff. I've watched Ghost Adventures obsessively with my family since I was 12. Not because we believe in the ghosts, but for the character dynamics of the show. If you know, you know, if you don't, that is okay. There are some fucking
Starting point is 01:03:41 geniusly delightful, sometimes accidentally funny, sometimes on purpose funny, character dynamics in that show. Matt Rife, though. They've had Post Malone on. That is so cool. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Have you been to the Zach Bagan's museum? You know I have. You know I fucking have. There's a museum? There's a two hour, three hour long, haunted museum with every haunted thing. We had such a good time there,
Starting point is 01:04:06 but not because we were like actually enjoying ourselves there. because, like, we went in a big group. It was for my birthday, because we did a Vegas trip for my birthday. We went to Zach Bagan's. It's so long. And also, I never watched Ghost Adventures. I watched a little bit.
Starting point is 01:04:21 But, like, when you're, like, going through the little, like, show clips of him talking, it's just like, my name is Zach Bagan's, and you're in this room. I never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one. In this room, like, 10 people have fainted because of the ominous presence. It's so good. And it's like, no, 10 people. fainted because it's so hot in here. There's no water.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And you have like old people that are walking here for two hours. The current opening, like it goes, he goes, there are things in this world. We will never fully understand. Understand. Like my wife. We need answers. Answer. I guess so, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:59 The best way to understand them is to have Matt Rife do crowdwork at them. That's actually such a good point. Matt Rife doing crowdwork with a room of ghosts is kind of awesome. He's like, what did you do for? a living. Yeah, I will say it. Um, were you blonde? Did you have fake tities? Everybody goes, I think if Matt Rife does do crowdwork at the ghosts, I will have to watch it. Everything will start to like shake because they're like, get this fucking dude out of here. Yeah, he's got a punchable face. But, um, yeah, no, Aaron, uh, that's okay, so Aaron, the best,
Starting point is 01:05:30 the best, he's the best character. He was a camera guy who was just like, he just seemed high for the first bunch of seasons and he was just always scared. And Zach would just always put him in like the room where the woman killed herself and now everyone who goes into that room gets psychosis and he'd like lock up. So there was this dynamic but Aaron is hilarious. He's just like a very funny character on this show who's also just himself. Like he's not a character. But yeah, his wife tried to kill him. I hate when that happened. His wife hired a, come on me. My wife tried to kill me again. Oh wait. That's actually a really good setup for like a standup joke. Conspiracy. Because every all the standups are being like, my wife.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Life. So my life. Perfect for him. If he and Matt Rife go on tour together, he can be like, well, my wife tried to kill me, he-he. It's interesting that she's only going to do two to ten years. Also, I will say this. Well, she didn't succeed. She's just a girl.
Starting point is 01:06:25 She is just a girl. I totally forgot. What's, and $5,000 fine. Here's what I'll say. That's a lot. I watch a lot of true crime. And I think that people, oh, she fell in love with a convicted murder who massacred his entire family over five years ago.
Starting point is 01:06:38 And that's why she did it. What? And the plot. Yeah, that's absolutely not good at all. Very excited for the, what's his face? Who's the guy, Ryan Murphy Show? I'm excited for the Ryan Murphy Show. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:55 When people, am I a bad person, she said in a text? Because I choose to end his existence, not divorce. Yes, Queen? I would say, yes, I just don't understand the, like, especially like when it's like a family annihilator. Yeah. I'm like, dog. And that guy?
Starting point is 01:07:10 That's the guy? Oh, boo! Not to look shamed and kill his mother and his family. He's got something about him. He shaved his head when he was in middle school after he went to sent away. That's what it is. When people do hitman deals, the money is so low. I watch so much true crime.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Yeah, it's true. The amount of people who hire a hitman, either a real hitman or they're talking to a cop who's pretending to be a hitman, the money is insanely low. It is less than a, then like, it's, I was going to say, I was going to say it's less than a brand deal. Because sometimes it'll be like, I'll give you $1,000 to kill my husband. And it's like, oh my God. That is so low.
Starting point is 01:07:53 That's so low. Like, it's like it'll be like, you know, a thousand, two thousand dollars. It's crazy. Hey, sometimes it's 10. If you're a hitman out there, know your worth. Yeah. No your worth. We need, you know what?
Starting point is 01:08:07 that's actually a really good course we should do. Yeah. Of like how to market. Because we're content creators. How to market yourself as a hitman to know your worth. Because also like let's be honest, you're a hitman. You're doing the majority of the work, right? The brand, the client, the client that wants you to commit the murder.
Starting point is 01:08:23 They're not doing much of the work. Sure, you do have to take their notes. You have to listen to them. But I also think, you know, you have to value yourself and you also have to understand that if you get caught, you're going to go to jail forever. So you should at least get a lot of money. Yeah. That's like insane.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Mainly low. Yeah. It's an average of $15,000. That's more than a brand deal, but still. It's still, I mean... Some people get brand deals more than that. Yeah, I mean, like, I... Oh my God, it's 2% of murders.
Starting point is 01:08:50 I've made more than that promoting sex toys. Like, you're taking a human life. I know. And it's like, at least for, what, $250,000? Oh, yeah. At least. That's what I thought these people were, like, putting up. Sorry, that's how much you do it for?
Starting point is 01:09:05 That, to me, is the least amount of money. money I would hear someone taking and go like okay I guess maybe they really needed the money but if it's less than that I'm going to go like what the fuck are you doing but if it's more than that I'm going to go like okay maybe they just like really thought it would work right yeah like but 300k will talk my rate would be higher because I I I just wouldn't want to like not hang with my with my peeps I get that you're at jail a lot of the time you got to get all new I would miss my cat so much yeah I'd be bummed out, you know? What?
Starting point is 01:09:40 That's what's keeping us for me coming in my vibes. Never ever said peeps before. My peeps. One time we were like doing some random thing years ago and someone was like, okay, you guys got it? And I was like, vibes. And Sid stopped the shoot to be like, you've never said that and that's not how you talk.
Starting point is 01:09:56 And I was like, that is completely good. You never said that. Sometimes you could just hatch. I hatched this morning. Well, speaking of hatched this morning, what egg can the people find you in online? Oh yeah, if people are looking to find your egg, what egg can they look up?
Starting point is 01:10:12 Oh, you can just look up Stansi, Potenza, on pretty much everything. Well, that's very fucking... I'm on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, threads, Facebook, Snapchat. I think that's it. And if there's anything else, I dare you to find it on your own.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Yeah. You do the work. You can also find some bonus content as well as early, uncut, extended, uncensored episodes of the podcast on our Patreon. It's literally... It's literally five bucks. It's so cheap. And you can get these episodes early and they can have even more stuff in them.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Yeah. And also just a bunch of other stuff too, just like random stuff. We did a fan fiction between J.D. Vanson, Clippy, the paper clip from Microsoft. Check it out on our Patreon. I announced my psychiatric results and then announced the correction because I was wrong the first time because I, jumped the gun and gave my preliminary results instead of my comprehensive results. So you want a Patreon. Oh, you see all that on the Patreon.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Thank you so much for being here. Yeah, thank you so much for being here. You're the fucking best. Thank you for having me. Oh, my God, we love you. We often end on a freeze frame. Would you like to do that with us? Cool, yeah.
