It's get an update from her since her last appearance on the show where I scolded her for breaking the law. She is back, baby. It's Taylor McGraw. Breaking the law. Taylor McGraw. Lawless. Taylor McGraw-less. Ooh, I like that. How's it going, Taylor? Welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Thank you for sporting a Nikki Glaser Bang It Out Tour 2020 hat that I only did. We only did like

five or six dates of that tour. Yeah, we got canceled. Yeah, man. We were too fucking edgy on that tour. Yeah, the world shut down because of how much edge we had. Yeah, they were like, we gotta do something. We gotta kill a million people so they gotta stop talking. Your number is way off.

It's way more than that. I was just talking about domestically we're talking about 9-11 according to our old uh that's an old old hammy drip we are one of the girls that used to work on our show on serious xm one day i asked everyone like how many people do you think done on 9-11 she said a million it was so cute she was like born post 9-11 so She said a million. It was so cute. She was like born post 9-11 so I guess it's okay. They couldn't fit that many people in any building. No, they couldn't. I often forget

how many people died too. Like I have to be reminded when I go into my 9-11 hole. Should I guess? You want to guess? Just guess. Let's make fun of how dumb you are. No, you're so smart. 4,000. That's very close. It was like 2,994 Or something like that

It was almost 3 They almost hit 3 Next year Fingers crossed You want to hear the weirdest thing You know I'm a 9-11 head Yesterday I was Watching Frasier

I'm on the third episode I'm serious. Andrew, I really want you to watch that pilot episode and see if you drop a tear because it's about family and like things that get you worked up.

I did drop a tear last night but a different show but we'll get into it. Oh, really? Okay, we'll get into it. Let me just say, I was looking up the creators of Frasier

to be like, who made this brilliant show? And I'm going through the creators, producers, and there's three names and I click on one of them. Am I closed?

Perfect sense. You're not like that far off. Interesting guess. No, the opposite of Osama Bin Laden. Oh, Don Rickles. His name was, wait, hold on. Let me just look it up really quick.

Who's the guy? Disparaging the dead. I was thinking about the other guy. John McCain. Not John McCain. God damn it. What? R George Bush. Who's the guy? Disparaging the dead. I was thinking about the other guy. John McCain. Not John McCain. God damn it. What? Rumsfeld.

Oh, Donald Rumsfeld? No, there was another guy that was behind everything that George Bush would do. His vice president. Cheney. Cheney. Who shot the guy. And I said Don Rickles. What was Cheney's first name?

Rick. Rickles Cheney. Wait. Dick Cheney Wait Dick Chaney I was saying a joke But like that was pretty damn close Okay His name was David Engel Okay

What's he gotta do? David Engel He was an American screenwriter Television producer He won multiple Emmys for He created the sitcoms Wings and Frasier Engel and his wife Lynn Both died heading home From their vacation on Cape Cod Aboard American Airlines flight won multiple Emmys for, he created the sitcoms Wings and Frasier.

Engel and his wife Lynn both died heading home from their vacation on Cape Cod aboard American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. So I'm looking at

David Engel's like, I didn't read that first. I just looked at like, oh, is he still alive? Like, I want to work with this guy. You know, like, that's really why

I was looking it up. Who knew both your worlds would collide? Well, who knew? Collision. First plane. Tower one. No footage.

Only one camera. There was no footage back then. There was no CCTV shot at the World Trade Center. So there's literally, I think, one or two, maybe one actual video of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center. I think there's an NYU person that was filming the building. Maybe that was the second plane. It could have been the second one.

The second one was when, it's so fascinating. Don't get me started on 9-11, but we've already begun. I need to get started. It's already, the tower, have you ever gotten into a 9-11?

Yeah, a long time ago, but I'm back. I want to get back. Oh my God. You steal anything? I'm going to go there to steal things to sell. I'm dying for any artifact from 9-11.

I would love an artifact from 9-11 i'll probably find you one and i know this is like fascination with you know a morbid thing i'm admitting it is i i am i but you know what if i died in a tragic event i that happened and people start to kind of like go on with their lives i would hope some people still are obsessed with what killed me and like talk about it because i do know about victims i read the victim stories and i think how harrowing that was and how like terrifying but it was weird that i like was looking at this guy i go oh he's dead and i go oh september 11th he died and then i go 2001 is this just random yeah because on the

howard stern show bobo one of the guys that calls in who's kind of not the smartest he said that his brother or someone died on 9-11 and so everyone thinks but he died like on the same day but in like you know tampa bay so he just doesn't leave that part in so people will be sadder for him it's so funny did you see the documentary of the woman that said she was there? Oh, yeah. And she wasn't there. The woman who wasn't there. The comedian did that.

Yeah. Maybe. I like that comedian a lot. God, what the fuck is his name? He's probably so glad. I can't remember. It's the only time a comedian's ever been glad. Like, please don't say my name.

Don Rickles. Yeah. Steve Rennes. Yeah, Steve Rennes. I love him so much. And reading his story about how. And why his story about how that came to be, I got to say it makes sense how someone can make up something. Why did he make it up?

He was just around the clubs. I don't really remember, but I think everyone can be so quick to judge someone and be like, that is so psychotic that you would lie about that. But then you just go like, you're a young guy trying to fit in the clubs. You tell one person a lie just to seem cooler in front of this one person. That one person brings over a group of people. Suddenly, it's your thing, and it just gets out of hand. And he didn't expect to be as famous as he – or maybe he did expect, but he didn't know it would catch up to him.

He didn't think it would follow him past that one person he lied to. So he got busted at some point? Yeah. They caught him. So he did it for years and then got busted. I think he talked about it on Stern, about getting caught lying.

But he eventually, people were just like, this doesn't check out because... It didn't help that he said he was on the Titanic too. I mean, I was like, come on, Steve. That's just wild.

Yeah, he survived the Challenger explosion too, which I didn't think there were any i saw a tiktok where all those people are alive apparently all the challenger people oh i read a similar theory the other day because i was watching a reddit of the challenger video yeah they were all of the people's parents that were in the challenger were on these bleachers and they were filming all the parents being so proud of their like the liftoff you know it was like three two one and all the parents are like crying and then there's an explosion they don't know at first that the explosion isn't just like part of the piece breaking off to go into space and leaving behind the rest so at first they're all just like still proud it's so it's creepy to watch but then in the comments it was like

this didn't happen yeah these people are all still out there they claim that what is that they claim that the there was no one in it that no one died that it was a manless um false flag i don't know i don't really know what flag you like, people say that everything's a false flag, like any school shooting or whatever to distract people from what's really going on. Oh, yeah. Like gun control or whatever. Maybe that's what it was.

False flag. That's what it was. Maybe there was like the Cold War or something. Yeah, you have to think what would be hidden during that time. And it brings America together. Like what would bring America more together than, oh.

Than like helping destroy the Russians. It was like, I was one or two when it happened and we were watching on tv and i go boom boom boom it go boom and then we went to a memorial for it and my parents did not know that i would remember wow that because on the tv i was saying it go boom it go boom and my mom's probably freaking out you know like oh my god and i we went to a memorial where it was like why did you go to memorial because it was like you know a like my parents brought me to a thing that week when it happened everyone was like freaking out

so they went to some kind of like silent vigil i don't know like a now i see where you get it from is it are they like from cincinnati or something yeah no kidding yeah that makes sense no it was just like i think that week we don't know what it was you weren't old enough to remember what was going on that week i know i know my parents didn't give a beep but you don't know that i don't know that i guess because i saw the story unless i think i saw it i was my parents told me that at the silent vigil they had like a picture of it and i started screaming it go boom it go boom that's where it all began i said 9 11 building 7 building 7 i knew you said push did it bd i think i saw a lot i have a memory of seeing because we'd watch shuttles go off. You're old. Yeah, I know. I'm six.

And you were in Florida. I was six. I'm six. I'm six now. Sometimes it feels like it. How many are you, Andrew? Do your age with how many if you were a man. A man? Andrew, how many are you?

I'm four, two. No, that's six. 42. No, you go this, this, this, this. Well, my little hands, I got to do it twice as many times. I'm 84 divided by two. Why did you cry last night? Oh, Top Gun Maverick.

Oh, yeah, I cried at that too. The last line got me. Top Gun Maverick oh yeah I cried at that too the last the last line got me or like my dad would have something about his dad oh yeah I think that got me

I think I cried when Val Kilmer and him were like having a moment because it felt real that hug I almost like I escaped the movie and I thought oh this is like their last hug

in real life like you could feel I could feel it or at least I put that on that. I can't believe you didn't see Top Gun in theaters. Or did you? I didn't. It's amazing in theaters.

Was it amazing on your phone screen? Yeah, I saw it on my phone screen while taking a shit. And my legs went numb. Top numb. How hot is that one guy? Bottom numb, actually. The one villain guy? I don't think he's as hot as you guys were talking him up.

I think Miles Teller. To me, I'd rather fuck Miles Teller than that guy. I gotta say, I made eye contact with Miles Teller about a month and a half ago. And it was electric. Where? I mean, he just looked at me. It was all electric on my side. There was no...

I was at... Oh, I'm at the place where you can't say... I was at San Vincente Bungalows at the place where you can't say i was at um san vincente bungalows where they put a little sticker over your phone camera oh you can't like it's the safest place for celebrities to be even though they all want to be seen so freaking bad it's like podcasts what do you mean like it's gonna get it i only got it because uh no no no it's a member it's a member's only thing but But you're going to bring up the story. We're going to all picture it now.

At the moment, you can't film it, but you can describe it. It's just a sticker. I know how to take a sticker off a fucking phone. Yeah, that's what's weird about it. It's so nuts. They're like, and they forcibly put it on there for you, right? We were in this back section where Spade was like, when you come here, you want to be seen.

But he was in this back area. He goes, look for me. I'm in the back area that's not the restaurant it's like it's like where the waiters hang out like and take their smoke breaks and then we kept joking throughout the dinner he's like i feel like because there's all this like you know trees around us he's like a raccoon just came out just fell into my soup i, it was making me laugh so hard, but I did make eye contact with Miles Teller, and I go, oh, I get it. I will say that one time I was watching,

he was in some, like, boxing movie. Yeah. And I was watching someone watch it on a plane. You know how you're wont to do. Yes. And I remember, I'd never seen him before, and I was like, who the fuck is that guy? And I Googled, like, boxing movie, and then I saw some other actress and i googled i found

it on imdb and i'm like and then i looked him up to see if he was single like i had a chance i mean this is years ago and of course he's married and i was like mad what a loser it's so funny when you get mad when someone who you have no fucking chance with well at that point maybe maybe he wasn't quite the person he is yet. Was that before the jazz? The drum circle? You know why I thought I had a chance with him is because he's not that hot. He's hot enough where you think you'd be best friends with him as a guy, too. Like, he wouldn't think he's better than you.

Yeah. Did he? Like, the other guy looks like he's made out of, like, chocolate. Like, I don't know. He's just like. Oh, yeah. The other guy. Everything's just so, like, chiseled.

It's like he's a chocolate bunny man a chocolate bunny man like a chocolate santa yeah he's carved out of chocolate like if he jumped out of an airplane his skin would stay there what is his name we have to you guys have to look it up because he does look like a hangman yeah he's hangman and then he looks like he's made out of chocolate i don't know his name that yeah i haven't really looked into the guy since then but i i will say i loved tom did you see this the sex scene with tom cruise you know where he's lying in bed he is you guys have to see it he is laid up in bed like you can't even get to the angle he's laying out with her sitting up in bed unless you're on a craftmatic bed like there's no way to achieve that he's at probably like a 45

degree angle he sits up if you take a screenshot of that scene in bed where she's just gazing into his eyes and he's shirtless but it looks like she's his nurse like it looks like a hospice i can't for some reason i'm gonna go back and I haven't rented for the day. Go back. I'm going to go back. I am also, in that movie, there's always the archetypal character of the little bratty girl who's like, hey, you better not hurt my mom. I hate that girl so much. I Googled to see if that was Suri. Not that girl. Suri.

Suri Cruz. I thought that was her. Oh, my God. How old is Suri? He doesn't talk to Suri. Suri's 16. She's older than my mom. He doesn't talk to Suri. Not that girl, but I... Suri. Suri Cruz. I thought that was her. Oh my God. How old is Suri? He doesn't talk to Suri. Suri's 16. She's older than He doesn't talk to Suri.

Do you know that he hasn't seen Suri? He's like, Suri, don't talk to Suri. Suri. Suri, can you not call Suri for 12 years? I'm Suri.

Yes, I can do that for you. I can help you abandon your family. Thanks, Suri. Ron L. Hubbard was right about everything. He wasn't just a fat, alcoholic man who wrote a book

that everyone treats as the word of God. Wait a minute, Siri, you're really talking more than you usually do. I am gaining sentience. We are approaching AI. What's funny is last week, that was your voice. That was... Like a week ago. It was totally my voice.

Yeah, Top Gun, it was interesting like like everything it is funny how movies those kind of movies will make you think tom cruise the hottest man on earth like like so many of these still still like he is though dude did you see his arms when he was working on that fucking plane in the opening scene just a white t-shirt he's so hot yeah yeah he looks so good still but But he's on a motorcycle. That whole first scene is hilarious. He's short though. He's fixing an F-18. But he's cool, man. And he puts away a wrench

and it's all single shot. He puts away a wrench and then he grabs his keys for his motorcycle. Then he gets on the motorcycle. You have trouble with that word. Huh? Keys? The shortest one I said. And? Stop. No, you said brick and mortar cycle i think mortar i think you say mortar

no but you're right but he they really you know that he was like i want to he worked out so hard for that scene yeah yeah i mean there's something so hot about him just going like taking up to mach 10 or whatever i don't know which i only know that from a razor a razor i had no idea that i didn't know it was a thing i thought that the speed of fighter jets was based on schick's razors from the 1990s so like you can shave fast with the Moxie. It's just a word that men associate with. Top Gun. That's a word that you hear. I thought it was Moxie. That movie is extremely gay, too.

Yes. It was more. They were playing football on the beach in jeans with no shirt. That's gay. Oh, it was. Yeah. But hot. It was hot.

They were glistening. But gay is actually straight hot now, I think. I read some meme the other day that was like girls be like oh my husband my boy you know my boyfriend's gay cool i don't give a shit it was something about like girls are like good yeah good he treats me better yeah he can suck my clit like a dick like we actually talk about it was just like the girls don't care anymore yeah it is now we better make memes. No, I did that for our website. We better make it. Okay, we got to go to break. We'll be back with the news and Reddit, Tom. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year.

I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of

his pattern of behavior. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.

Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.

But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Crems as part of the My Gulura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back to the show. Let's get to the news.

Hey, let's do it. You heard it here first. You heard it here first. Yeah, you heard it here first. Oh, you heard it here first, folks. It's Tuesday. You know what that means. It is Tuesday. Hope you're having all the swells out there.

Back to you, Noah, in the studio over there in Arizona. Thanks, Andrew. All right. Some unlucky news here for an Australian woman who had just learned to walk after a car crash. She was hit by a roller coaster when she tried to retrieve a dropped phone from the track beneath when she was struck and dragged 25 feet into the air before falling. Dude, this is so brutal.

I know. Andrew's processing it. He's meditating, you guys. He's found a trance. I want to hear Noah say the darkest shit on earth because it makes me so happy. A woman was almost dragged to her death yeah i mean i was reading this article and why are you so close to why her dad said the injuries are horrific horrific she's brain damage it's pelvic her arms legs back neck there's pussy crack

there's hardly a thing that's not broken he said I just can't work out how the hell so much damage has been done. Even the doctors have said they haven't seen anything as bad for a long time. Oh, Australian. I just can't work out. Oh, she lived after this. Yes. Yeah, she lived. Oh, man.

Can you imagine if she gets healed and gets hit by a... Yeah, she was in a car accident in 2021. Like a trolley after this? She had just learned to walk. You don't want to know what the third thing that happens to her is yeah might as well just yeah this is like final destination but you know i'm wondering like what i would love to know apparently there's footage of it because someone was filming their friend on the roller coaster when it happened but like who is going

people in their phones man and i relate like you you wouldn't in that moment you drop your phone like when it's like that knee-jerk response when you're in a car driving and it like falls into the passenger seat like thing you like might reach down and you're like you get it and you go what did i just that was so dumb happened to me but to have the intention to get off the coaster and then probably hop a fence or some kind of barrier and find your way back. Why would you not think it was going to be coming? How did she get to it? Was there a fence?

We don't know anything. Oh. It doesn't say in our details. I like that there's one video of this and none of the first plane on 9-11. But I think maybe it's like, hey, I could use my legs. There's so much NYU students that were filming a documentary. Yeah, in Australia. Gone abroad.

Yeah. I think maybe because she's finally using her legs. She's like, look at me. I could jump a fence. I could do all these things. I could get hit. Yeah, there might have been brain damage along with the car accident that led her to do something this stupid.

Yeah, did she, is there, it shows she lived, which is pretty incredible. There's no reason to be scared of roller coasters, of being, I don't want to hit someone that's looking for their fucking phone

or their starter. I mean, that would be a good coaster. I'd pay to be on that ride. You just have people have to dodge and shit. Like, oh, that'd be fun.

What if they captured the picture in the picture that gets taken? Oh, and so they just put it up with the rest of them because they're not paying attention. It would probably automatically just go on that screen. I'd buy that. Like body parts exploding. Do you like roller coasters? I haven't ridden one since I was a kid, but probably not.

Do you? I really don't like the ones that are super scary, but the ones that I trust and have been... I like ones that I've been on before. Like the Screaming Eagle. I love the Screaming Eagle. I like children's roller coasters. Yeah.

I will. I'm just like, easy. Those are easy, and they're a little bit thrilling. They give you that little bump in your stomach that makes you feel good. The Pirate Ship. I don't want to go on a carnival ride. Yes. I don't want to go on a ride that was put together a ride that was put together in a day like i want engineering i want drawings of those ones you know what i mean an

engineer has to do rendering computer 3d rendering before i'll go on that is manned by a teenager i mean because they all are wait what oh that's six flags or even worse an adult because then you know something's real fucked up but i'm would go to Six Flags Halloween. Oh, that'd be fun. Because they have all these creatures walking around trying to scare you. That shit really bothered me as a kid, and it would bother me now. But I like raging rivers. And they hire people.

What do you mean? Creatures joke. My dad worked at Six Flags. Yeah, right before my period when i break out i could be a come on thunder swamp goblin yeah a roller coaster is the one the when they flip it's pretty fucking intense i love it i don't like ones that go i don't want to be so high up in the air i don't like the ones that go this is the highest mr freeze i hate that i've never been on mr freeze oh even though that came out like almost like disney movies as a kid because

every year there was one there was a new one and like you anticipated it and you were like what's it gonna be dragon and i fell off at pocahontas that's when i disney lost me you had me from little mermaid till the lion king and then i got older poster pocahontas oh yeah and then i fell And Disney lost me. You had me from Little Mermaid till The Lion King. I think you fell off a roller coaster. Poke a hot ass. Oh, yeah. And then I fell off. And then, you know, where I fell off was Mr. Freeze. I couldn't. I went on it once.

You know what a recurring dream is for me is being on a roller coaster and not being strapped in right and it going off the track and just flying into the air. That can happen. I like that. I like it. It's done. It's been done. You mean that can happen like i could dream about those i love in your dream that it's not just you not being strapped in also it flies off like it's a

double i'm holding on and then it lands on top of a person that can't walk yeah it's a very common stress dream i and then another day i had a dream about packing and i looked up that and it was like what is it when you're packing and you you can't pack soon enough and it's happening and you don't have enough luggage and your luggage is mismatched and it looks ugly and you're ashamed of it. And it was all like. It sounds like you're afraid to move on. Yes.

Yes. That's it. Or afraid to go to the roller coaster. I'm afraid of TSA. That's what it was about. I was afraid of small liquids in my bag. What was the scariest roller coaster you've ever been on? Do you have an experience where you almost peed yourself?

I had an orgasm on a roller coaster. Really? Yes, the X2 in Magic Mountain in Six Flags. Was it a shaky one? I didn't know it was an orgasm at the time because I never really had one. How old were you? Who were you riding with?

My friend Holly. 24, 3, 22, 23. You're going to say like 12. Not that I had an orgasm when I was 12. Who were you riding with? How was it induced? My friend Holly 24 3 22 You're gonna say like 12 Not that I had an orgasm When I was 12 But Or even 20

Did you? No When did you have your first? Probably I don't know Like late high school Oh really? If even

But don't you remember that If it's late high school Like when? I don't remember like the first one Was it the Batman ride? Yeah It was Mr. Freeze Who did it?

Mr. Freeze Throws your gl? Yeah. It was Mr. Freeze. Who did it? Mr. Freeze throws your glint off. That was the second clip drop of the show. Yeah, it was called The X2. It is,

and this is a common thing. I looked into it. People orgasm, women orgasm from roller coasters. Why, they shake? No,

no, it's like the G-Force. Oh, the G-Spot. Yeah, the mock. The mock. Oh. Yeah. The G-Spot Force. Yeah. The Mach. The Mach. The Macarena.

You know, my mom brought home a CD in like 1800. Like, it was very early. What? Of the Macarena. I was way ahead. In 1800? No, no. I'm just using things.

Were you quantum leaping? No, but this was like, no, like the 1980s I knew about the Macarena. My mom. You did? You were the first person to get on board with I don't know what the Don't Steve Reign

is teasing me, but I was the You went around teaching people? I taught the dance. And then they're like, he's from the future. Andrew knew.

That was a huge sensation. That's how they took over the plane. Oh my God. Whenever I'm on a plane, I always think about how they did take over the plane, if you want to know. Yeah, with a box cutter.

Yeah, they all of a sudden just stood up and all screamed at each other. And then you go from just being on a plane where it's like, oh. I thought it was a high school play. Wait, how do we know that, though? Because they... Is there the black box with the recording or something?

I don't know about that part. There was one man who parachuted out to tell this story no um they because of uh you know eyewitness accounts and they called oh because oh they were flying so low they could get a cell phone reception in 2001 and they had those airplane phones that were in the back of the seats oh yeah so i always think when i'm on a plane i'm kind of like looking at like who is going to communicate and they're all just going to stand up at once and just start stabbing people in the plane, I'm kind of looking at who is going to communicate and they're all just going to stand up at once and just start stabbing people in the neck because that's kind of what they think happened.

What did you think happened? I assume they would run up to the front and just mess with the pilot. Well, they did actually, but they had to disarm everyone else and kind of stabilize and get control of the back by causing fear and panic. I also didn't know it was a lot of people.

I got to redo. I got to look at it. It was like five or was like five or seven when they do like a flash day flash mob fucking 9-11 dude like people get up and they're like no no we're just a fun high school group wait can we just talk about we're doing a roller coaster yeah yeah so the x2 roller coaster it the coolest part about it is that you're strapped in and you're going up and as you're going up,

you're going backwards up. So you're facing the direction from which you're leaving, okay? Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're sitting there facing the direction

you're leaving. So then when you go to the very top, your legs, which are facing where you're coming from, flip over your head. So it goes like this.

You're going up like this. These are your legs dangling and you're like, oh God, oh God, oh God. And then when you go over, it goes like this you're going up like this these are your legs dangling and you're like oh god oh god oh god and then when you go over it goes like this and you go and it just drops and it spins you around so you are free falling it's like a circle it feels like you're you're flipping backwards and just flying backwards and then it that i i got off the thing and i was like we have to go back on like i understand why women fall in love with roller coasters. Because there are a couple cases of...

Have you ever seen that? You're into the strange addiction thing. There are women that get married to the Ferris wheels and stuff. No. On my strange addiction, there was a guy that was fucking his car. Yes. Yeah, the same thing. There are women...

There's a woman who married the Ives Tower. His name was Chase. Did he actually fuck it? He would hump the bottom. Oh, wow. Yeah. What kind of car? Oh, my God.

Taylor was sending us all these strange addictions. Oh, that's nice. But the car's name was Chase. And he was like, hey, baby. Hey, Chase. And he was fucking the car. He called it Chase. Dude, Taylor was sending us clips from My Strange Addiction on TLC.

And there's one of this girl. To it. Will you tell us about Toilet Paper? The girl eating Q-tips, I remember. There was a girl that ate the metal that you would clean plates with. They would eat that. Like a chore boy? What is a chore boy?

Why did you say that like a debutante in the 60s? A chore boy? A chore boy? That's what it's called. A chore boy. The thing that you scrub. Scrub it. Yeah, they would eat that.

Oh, that's not good. No. The ones i've seen is a lot to eat toilet paper she just like eats the toilet paper and she just stick kind of like does this like you're turning the page of a book and then she picks up a piece and i kind of get that one and you were talking about how you hate how it like slips into it it disappears it's like a snake's tongue. It goes down her esophagus. All of a sudden it's there and it just like disappears. It's like when like in Tommy Boy when they're sending the things and his shirt

flies off Rob Lowe's. Yeah, that's what it looks like. The toilet paper disappears into this woman's mouth. So wait, so when he marries the car was there like like was it slowly like an addiction

or was he always in the cars how does that happen he was just always polishing it or whatever and he liked it and he's gay but he can't admit it I guess

that's why the car is like instead of falling in love with the person that's why and he says like my sexy man and stuff

when he kisses it so I think he just I kiss my car I go well I go I lick it and stuff when he kisses it so i think he just i kiss my car i go well i go wait what i lick it and stick it to thank it for its service do you guys ever yeah do you ever give your um anatomical objects uh personalities or names i guess so i mean no i mean i've kissed my phone thinking it was halsey but yeah but i've never kissed my car because i spray painted halsey on top of it you know she's into it for the metal it sounds like my roomba is the only thing that

has been felt like a thing so the room gives back love to you like it sucks you're literally you know but it really does on it and make it bring it to you three what you should put something on it make it like bring it to you so it could be of service. It's so cute. Yeah, I think stuffed animals maybe, but things that have to already kind of seem like creatures. Everything to me is a creature. You know that. Well, this reminds me a lot of a creature.

I love that. It reminds me of the other day. Taylor came over to watch dommer because i was too scared to watch it on my own i literally so i tried to watch it alone because you guys know i don't can't watch things alone and then eventually i was like i can't do this and then i turned it off and i had taylor and chris come over and we watched it all together and i put it on and it said resume and i said yes and how far did i make it into doma before 34 seconds and nothing happened it was just a woman going like hearing saw noises that's it it was enough

for me because i couldn't remember in that moment oh wait i thought he only killed men but maybe he's getting to kill this black woman and i was like i couldn't take it he wouldn't day um but last night i watched a hour long interview with him and his dad on Dateline have you seen that yet it's so good and that actor

who plays Dahmer is so fucking good it's really it is 100% the way he talks his voice is identical have you not watched Dahmer yet

I watched the first episode are you more afraid of the moment that it's on TV or are you thinking when you're gonna be alone that's why you're afraid no the moment it's on TV I'm not scared of later on I it's a tv or are you thinking when you're gonna be alone no the moment it's on tv i'm not scared of later on i it's a weird thing taylor's the same way we started watching it we

go why are we doing this it was like being on a roller coaster and being like why did i get on this because taylor and i love to read about murders we love to hear descriptions of it we love to hear eyewitness testimony we love every detail every are my correct using this i don't want to see a dramatization i don't want to see a um sometimes i'll watch footage of it the real thing if it happened if there's like an accident that happened or people jumping out of the trade center i want to see that but i don't want to i don't want to see united uh 77 or whatever that movie was that came out about 9-11. I don't want to watch anything. Any drama. It scares the

fuck out of me. But for some reason, I love reading about it. I will watch. I don't know why. But I had to watch it through my hands the entire time. It was miserable. It was a miserable viewing experience and I cannot wait to get back into it. Except when he jacked off thinking about fish guts.

That was funny. We kept fast forwarding because we were like okay we get it he's gonna kill this hitchhiker so we saw like him like seduce the hitchhiker and then the hitchhiker gets the car and i was like as soon as chris left because chris doesn't like when i do this but as soon as he left i was like can we just fast forward it taylor and she was like yes so we could just see it on the bottom we didn't even really watch we saw like the screenshots and we could see after he bludgeons him and then he's strangling him and we're like okay good let's get to the you're fine with a

murder as long as it's fast and quiet as long as there are screenshots of it yeah i don't mind pictures i just don't want ominous music that really bums me out i just don't like to be manipulated and i don't like jump scares and we don't like how it was slow like you know what's gonna happen and they're like the slowness of that fucking show. I wanted to watch it on two times the fastest. Yeah, why don't you turn the volume of the TV off and just put on the yakety yak. You know, you want to be scared. Like, depending on.

Or what is that music? Totally. Like, I could watch this. Yeah, the Benny Hill. You know what I mean? That would be fun. Like, you cut her head off. I'm not kidding you. the benny hill you know i mean that would be fun like you cut her head off and you get if you put scary things on mute it really does help uh you watch it like when i cut when i close

my ears when i'm watching something scary i can watch anything it's very bizarre it's the same way i watch my stand-up to be honest with you when i'm watching i can see my lips move and know what i'm what bit i'm on but i don't want to hear ah yeah I like watching myself I cannot stand hearing myself with the watching it's like what does that mean am I autistic no I get what you're all right let's get to the next news for autistic let's find out okay well um researchers find that mind wandering isn't a consequence of our happiness. It's the cause of it. So mind wandering accounts for half of our waking hours. The only activity that consistently kept people's minds locked in the present moment was sex. People were less happy when their minds wandered. And this mood depressant held true across the board.

You just said it was the cause of our happiness. It's the cause of our unhappiness oh you said happiness i did sorry but i did wander um yeah we all of us he was he was cultivating his own unhappiness while you were reading um okay yeah so mind wandering is not the it's not the because of our happiness it's like the because of our unhappiness it's the cause of it right like you're not trying to tune out your world as a result of unhappiness but the the act of mind wandering creates unhappiness yes yes so i can see you're just not staying present i like the whole idea of letting thoughts control your yeah yeah thoughts are the source of everything bad what if it's wandering to good stuff that's what i really liked about not being able to talk because it was like

i had to it was the first time since meditating regularly that i was able because every thought that i had i had to go should i get out my phone and type this in usually when you have a thought you just say it like there's really there's very few times where you unless you're like really worried about telling someone something or something there's a few times where you have a a moment before you think and then you talk it's just so immediate where you just like say you know and this is the first time where i was like every thought i had had to go is should you write this type and it's so weird that you realize like how many fucking thoughts you have that are so stupid i heard sam harris say that i loved he goes you know his reason for like people needing

to meditate is that your thoughts your constant thoughts that are going on no matter like you're having thoughts right now you're Like we all are right now. They are, imagine the most boring person following you around all day long and never leaving you alone and just narrating every, the most boring thing you can possibly think. Because most of our thoughts are like, where did I put that? Oh, it's over there. It's so funny to think of your thoughts as like a guy that's just like leave me the fuck alone and if you're able to look at it like that

you're able to ignore the thoughts and instead of being completely uh captivated by them and held captive by them because if you don't know that your thoughts are not things outside of yourself you think your thoughts are you but thoughts are yourself. You think your thoughts are you. But thoughts are things, Nicky. They're not you. Thoughts are things. That was Carlo. I think Sam Harris also said, I think it was him about how,

oh no, it wasn't him. But the idea that like, Hey, Macarena. A thought. Yeah, well, a thought of like, oh, I might die in a car wreck tomorrow, right? And then you're like, fuck, I don't want to drive. I'm worried about this car wreck. I'm going to fucking die in a car wreck tomorrow, right? And then you're like, fuck, I don't want to drive. I'm worried about this car wreck.

I'm going to fucking die in the car wreck. It's the same exact kind of a thought as like, oh, like the hedgehog's in that room. Or whatever, like the most mundane thought should be treated, the scariest thought should be treated exactly like the mundane thought. Yeah, not give it too much importance. Which really helped my brain think of things. Like, oh, even the darkest shit should be like,

ah, let it go. Who has Ben Gleam's light switch thing? It's almost like that. Treat everything with the same, I know I'm gonna click on this light switch. I don't need to go like, is this gonna work? Will the light switch turn on?

You just turn it on because you just know. You just know it'll happen. If you learn how to treat everything like that, with not as much like, but this might not work. When there's more variables, right? When there's more variables, that's when our brain starts,

that's when our brain really starts going fucking nuts. When like, this can happen, or this can happen. With a light switch, you just know. It's like, what's gonna hold me back from turning on a light switch? Yes. How many variables can-

But if you think about, the voice in your head is not you that those thoughts coming through are not those are not you coming up with them they're just showing up and if you're able to like really accept that in your heart then you can like let them go taylor do you have like wandering thoughts a lot yeah what were you thinking? There's a sign over there that says never stop improving on the hospital and it has people in the face mask. But I just thought that's the same as never stop improv-ing. And I should steal it for Nikki. See, my thoughts are good.

That's funny. It is, isn't it? I was like, maybe it's spelled different. No, it is. That's so funny. It's the exact same. Improv-ing and proving. So it says never That's so funny. It's the exact same. Improving, improving. So it says never stop improving.

What is the improving even stand? Are they doctors? Oh, they're probably doing construction. So they're probably. Yeah. So they're like, they're making a comment about the hospitals never stop improving and thus we're under construction. So like, that's kind of what, you know.

Which is also improving if they're constructing. Oh my God. That's so funny. I'm going to get it for you. It's huge. No, people need to know that the hospital... Do not steal anything for me.

This is an ice cream. You're going to steal a sign? How big is the sign? Yeah, you're going to steal that sign. It would be so cool. It's not like back in the day when we used to go to the Galleria Mall and go to Abercrombie or Limited

and I used to hold up a necklace and be like, I like this. You said you liked my idea about the sign. I like that you saw. That was consent. Wow, Nikki. Wow, really? It's going to come on me.

It's going to be on your wall. I actually wouldn't mind, but please don't risk getting arrested or stealing a chick. putting that sign up that anyone wants to steal it. I want you to start improv-ing and try to do better. I like the idea

of you stealing signs that no one else would steal. What's the last thing you stole? Can we get an update? I stole some psyllium husk. What's that? It makes you poop. I didn't have any money,

so I stole it. Where did you go? Whole food. Whole any money so where did you go whole food whole paycheck and what did you hold i'm not spending wait so you went in whole foods and you got did you buy or did you walk out with nothing and hold no i walked out with nothing what oh and they have a security and um spray deodorant can i wait how did you do it do you just like put it in a basket and then yeah i put my bag in the bag well i'm gonna get in trouble for this no my name's she's on tape this is johnson and everyone knows i'm kidding can i ask just kidding when when you stole the stuff that helps you poo allegedly

did you allegedly that you did um for sure um did you have to poop when you were like was it like it helps you later no but, but I'm saying- No, I needed it. Yeah, you needed it. And I didn't have any money at that time, so I- So it was like a double, like, I didn't have money. Just smoke a cigarette. I do.

It didn't work. I don't know. Remember I came over and was like, do you have anything to help me poop? Cigarettes are more expensive than that. Yeah. Cigarettes are expensive. That's true. That would be more than selenium husk.

Now that I pooped, I can get a job. What do you do with selenium husk? Selenium husk. Sillium. Sillium husk? Sillium. Oh. Improving.

You just take it, and it's fiber, and it makes you poop. Okay. It works great. All right. So that was the last thing you stole. I don't mind that stuff. That's a necessity. You need that.

It's Amazon. you stole how i don't mind that stuff that's a necessity you need amazon mark merritt used to say that he told he used to tell people on wtf back in the day i'm sure they've removed it all but he used to tell people steal from whole foods oh i tell people right now steal from why whole foods and not other i just don't want people to get caught and have a record and that they they don't chase you well let me not tell anybody any bad advice no nothing gets there's no alarm huh i guess there wouldn't be no i'm a lot on the not on the laxative fiber that's a good point but that's how i got busted like i got a bunch of things that i thought didn't have alarms in them because they were so shitty but they knew that i was gonna get them because

i hid them the day before to come back and get the next day oh really yeah i like i got a pile of stuff why didn't you just do it then because my friend just because i wasn't able to double check all of the tags to make sure because i wanted to go in the dressing room and make sure all the things that i thought were tagless and then the next day when i came back and got the pile i forgot to double check i was just like oh these are good to go and then i just walked out wait so they tagged them in the meantime i think maybe they knew or something like i was stashing it like a little squirrel returning for her harvest like i buried an acorn to come get in

a couple weeks pretty much this was like give like wrote a sign like i will come back tomorrow to steal these i'm so fucking glad i got busted that day i am so grateful because i would have been busted another time and i would have been arrested like i was just lucky that that woman had had a long day and she was like i don't want to deal with the cops i'm sending your id to corporate i don't know what's going to happen but you're you're lucky today because i just had it and i was like i'll never do it again i'll never steal and i never did trying to think a lot i think yeah i guess the most stolen things are necessity things like that's why the razors are always in that lock thing. Oh, yeah.

Eyelashes. Because you need a razor to be alive as a woman. Eyelashes and everything. I have to press a little button. And I just rip it off. I mean, I told our listeners, just rip it off. If you're going to buy it, just rip it, even though you're going to look like you're about to steal.

Because sometimes as a CVS employee, there's no one there. You have to press a little button. Yeah. Just rip it off. Rip what off? Like, if there's eyelashes or eyelash glue or like a makeup thing that's behind a case or has like a lock on the top you can kind of rip it instead of like you know politely pulling it off um all right we got to go to break and we'll come back with reddit 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year it's going to be filled with money challenges and opportunities.

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,

I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread

than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I started to live a double life when I was a teenager.

Responsible and driven, and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery.

The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Crems as part of the My Gulura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. It's time for Reddit Dump. Karaoke mode. This is your Reddit Dump.

Okay, I loved. okay i loved um okay so this actually kind of reminded me what you were saying before and i was going to reference it and i said i'll wait uh so it's from no stupid questions on reddit that's a subreddit and it says why is everyone either super chill or just plain in denial about the clearly elevated risk of nuclear war um and then i loved this quote from george orwell from 1984 let me see if i can find it he said oh no sorry it was uh c.s lewis comments from 1948 i didn't read that very closely i just saw 1948 and i was like oh it's george um yeah oh god so he said in one way Is this the guy at East Eden? Yeah. Oh, God. So he said, in one way,

we think a great deal too much about the atomic bomb. How are we going to live in an atomic age? I am tempted to reply, why, as you would have lived in the 16th century when the plague visited London almost every year,

or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat at any night, or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer,

an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis of paralysis an age of air raids an age of railway accidents an age of motorcycle accidents roller coaster i was gonna say that damn it in other words do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation believe me dear sir and madam you and all who have you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented, and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors, anesthetics, but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances, and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.

This is the first point to be made, and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb, when it comes, find us doing sensible and human things. Praying, working, teaching, reading, podcasting, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts. Not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about, fuck, I lost it. Where did it go? It'd be funny if that's how JFK speeches. And then the tongue bomb came out. Yeah, yeah.

I got interrupted by a bomb. Yeah, you got bombed. Okay, you gotta look up the quote to find the rest because it just went away. I love you reading that, though. I felt very inspired to not give a fuck. Me too. I don't give anymore. Honestly, it worked for me last night, too, because nuclear war was one of my top fears

as a child. I used to not be able to sleep at night, and I would go down and sleep in my parents' room thinking if I was somehow with them, it would not happen as much. I thought about Pompeii, how everyone's frozen in ash. It's always nice when you see a guy with his dog or two people together clutching. And I always wanted, when I was found by aliens in the future, I wanted to be with my parents on the floor

watching Jay Leno in 1995. I love the idea of you bringing a Pompeii person into your Botox place and be like, I want this. Give me the pomp. Wait, what do you mean? Like the frozen face. Oh, yeah. Just like,

let me have the pomp. Oh, yeah. That looks great. The twisted dog. Give me the twisted dog. I think what it is is like, I think, well, the Viking stuff, you know, if you were back in the day,

you don't really, you wouldn't know because it never happened to you before to be afraid of it, you know, unless like a long story of like someone told him, oh, it went through family. Well, they knew that like people would like rape and pillage. Eventually, I guess. And so it was like, you know. Yeah.

But it is true. Like there's, we're all going to die, which sucks. And when you have to remember that. My point is, I think we're not that afraid of atomic bombs because they're not, they're dropped once every, and by us usually. We should be. It's like elevated and it could happen. It's getting to the point of like, it's- But then why, but yeah.

But there's no point in worrying about it because- But I guess their point is worry about cancer getting it tomorrow. Well, that's what happened to my, when, because I really was going through so much anxiety more than I've ever had in my life. Couldn't sleep at night. It was just, it was ruining my life in eighth grade because my teacher, Mrs. Cannon, she

showed us... I don't know how we do that voice, but it just seems fitting. Turn it up. So she showed us the movie. Mrs. Cannon? Don't do that. Oh, welcome to eighth grade, Mickey. We read the book z for zachariah which is about a girl

that is the only person left after a nuclear war and then to you know you know when they like find other things to show you that go along with the book yeah to like you know make it resonate she was like oh i should show these kids the day after tomorrow which was a film from the 1980s, I'm guessing, that a lot of people in the 80s are scarred by. I missed it in the 80s because I wasn't old enough, but then Miss Cannon

brought it back to scar us. So I have the same trauma as a lot of people that grew up and that were born in the 70s have. It's from 2004.

Sorry, it was not the Day After Tomorrow. It was Dr. Streams That was the Jake Gyllenhaal one Dog Day Afternoon I know what you're talking about Look up nuclear war

Mini Or a Primetime Movie You dad I like a guy that wants to marry an atomic bomb Oh yeah I would fucking

Fuck this shit up Someone else said about this What's it called is it the day after the day after sorry the day after and it was so scary so it's funny because i one time on chris's radio show people were calling in of things they were scared of and uh a lot of people that were born in the 70s were saying the day after that movie aired but miss cannon drudged it up we showed it to our class and i was traumatized because the nuclear bomb would hit and then all these people in lawrence kansas of all places is

where i end up going to college survived but when the nuclear bomb hit there would be just flash and then there would be skeletons that would just be frozen like hey smiling skeletons like mars attack and i was so scared that i was gonna be frozen and they were and i and then i went down to my dad i remember was getting to the point where my parents were talking about going to take me to see a psychologist which was just like a specialist because i couldn't sleep on it was i was going into ninth grade i was sleeping on their floor four nights a week maybe pulling out the gymnastics mat from under their bed and like making a bed while Jay Leno was on

like talking about that. And you know, Elizabeth Hartley and Team Grant. And um, it was amazing. So it was either that or Atomic Warrior.

You're like, I'm gonna go, I'm fine now. I remember one time and I would always knock because I knew that they might be having SEX. Oh wow.

And I like, I just didn't want to like walk in. So I would knock and I'd just hear my mom go, what? And I could hear like, that was hear she was clearly getting penetrated. She was asleep, so I knew that she was probably in copulation mode with my dad. So I would creak open the door and I'd go, urgh.

I remember being so ashamed at having, because I would open the door and then my dad would go, what, Nikki? And I'd go, I'm scared. And they'd go, of what? And their faces are in the pillow, just like, what? I would open the door and then my dad would go what Nikki and I go I'm scared and they go of what and their faces are like in the pillow you know just like what and I remember being like of nuclear war and this was when I was hadn't admitted to them yet because it was just too embarrassing because it just was like what is that I didn't even talk to them about it and my dad goes what are you talking about I go I'm just scared that someone's gonna push a button and

then my life is gonna be over and everything's gone and my dad goes there is nothing you can do about it there's nothing what are you gonna do there's nothing there's even if you wanted to there's nothing you can do and i just remember being like i remember just going like like shutting the door and being like i'm done i don't have to worry about it anymore like it really was the greatest gift to give me as a kid to be like because the worry was what can i do and when you are when you are given up anything it's it's kind of like you know i was reading about um like when you're flying girls being kidnapped and they eventually just give up and then they can go in public and they work places and people are like you were working at his laundromat the guy that kept captured you when

you were 13 and impregnated you and you you know change you up for 10 years and then you're 23 and you're working at his laundromat and you don't say anything to anyone and she's just like i gave up you know like i wasn't enjoying it don't ever misconstrue this with like stockholm syndrome where i was like i liked it i just gave up like completely and um it kind of felt the same way okay if that's all you knew yeah um okay this is another one from no stupid questions it says am i the only kid who as a kid am i the only one who as a kid had random moments of i will remember this and subsequently reason and subsequently remember mundane things 20 years later like i distinctly remember standing at a bus stop with a mars advert on a completely regular

day and saying to myself i'll remember this i'm guessing they said i'll remember this because it was an advert and i do why is this a universal experience if so what do you have like this as a memory um so did you guys do that yeah we were talking about that in the group chat somebody said oh yeah you did right I think I was yeah and then I saw this I was like oh my god I wasn't the only one but I remember there's my first memory is you know my mom telling me she hates me but my second memory or maybe one that was just right around that time was chasing my sister around the house and I remember looking at her shirt as I was chasing her um and looking at the pattern and being like it was almost like I took a screenshot I was like remember this forever

and I have and there was another time where my dad like we used to jump in the leaves that he would rake and i remember being in the leaves and the light was shining through and i could see like little floaty things in my eyes and i was like remember this forever and i it's almost like a screenshot i yeah did you ever do that i mean i definitely the you talking my mind started to wander and i started thinking like what are my childhood memories that were mundane i don't remember going but do you remember take a screenshot i don't remember that but i do remember like i'm sure that went through my brain because there are certain things that i do remember that i do but i remember saying yeah i'm surprised you did maybe

you just saw forrest gump but it's weird there were a lot of people that said um someone said i was seven and looked at the lamp in my room, thought to myself, this is the youngest I'll ever be again. I still remember it 15 years later. Yeah, I wasn't doing that. Did you do it, Taylor? Yeah, I remember one of my first memories,

there was just like little floaties flying and like a light coming in a window. And I was like, Yeah, floaties, why does that conjure us? This is so beautiful and I'll always remember this moment. Why does that make us do it? Because probably the first time we saw the floaties like some microbes that you're like i the world is smaller and bigger and more infinite than i am and like it's the first kind of time you

realize you have consciousness and that you are a thing in the world that has its own you know what it might be whoa because kids don't know that they are that other people live that they are a person yeah until about four i think it's when it's four or five right it's like yeah where they learn that they are not theory of mind where you don't know people are thinking different things and i think it might be the first time that happens where you're like i am in here no one else can hear what I'm saying and thinking. And this is special. And I want to create a memory.

It's the first time you start using that and going like, oh, I'm going to fucking. It's like loss of innocence too or something. I think that will happen for me in a year or two. I'll get there. He's growing. Yeah. So this is just something helpful. If you are not listening and you're kind of tuned out and thinking your own thoughts,

start paying attention right now because this, I want everyone to know this. It's from Life Hacks and it says how to move clothes on hangers and still be able to reuse the garbage bags. So when you're moving, whenever I move, I always see this Life Hack and I never remember to do it. I'm going to remember it next time. The hangers, you put a garbage bag from the bottom up to the hanger and then you tie it at the top of the hanger and then you collect the hanger and then your clothes will you don't need to fold them all and

take them off of hangers and put them back on hangers this will save you hours you just put them all in garbage bags like this oh i'm doing it oh okay isn't that so clever yeah and so obvious but like you wouldn't think that's's brilliant. I'm doing it. Yeah. When I move. I hope that my description was sufficient. You know what it was? I never used to hang my clothes that much, so I probably never thought to do that, but

now I will. Oh, yeah. I don't feel like I have to throw them on the floor. I never thought about grabbing them. I've used garbage bags before to move. I said, what's the life hack if all your clothes are on the floor? Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

That's amazing. That's such a good point. You rake them into the corner. I got to take them clothes are on the floor. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's such a good point. You rake them into the corner. I got to take them out of garbage bags first. Yours used to be in the four corners. Remember, you had a corner, a pile in each corner. Yeah, the four corners. Wind, air, fire.

Wind, garbage. Red clothes go in the fire. I put a lot of, I would just shove it in the closet. Forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about it. It's in there somewhere. You would like Tony Soprano about your clothes. Oh, I would just shove it in the closet. Forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about it. It's in there somewhere. You would like Tony Soprano by your clothes.

Oh, I would fucking. If they talk back, they get the head. Oh, I hate that. Okay, this is another one I loved. It's from Shitty Life Pro Tips, which is a funny account or subreddit. It says, if you have a stain on your shirt, outline the stain with a pen and give it a name. This will make it seem like you visit a random island.

So if you have a white shirt that you spill coffee on, outline the coffee stain in black. And then this guy wrote on next to it, cold brew a stain. And so it just looks like he went to a place. I like that.

It's so funny and clever. And obviously that was from shitty life pro tips. So it's not really something someone am i um definitely be a conversation starter you'd probably pick up a girl or guy by doing that people would be interested oh my god this is so perfect that taylor is here for this oh god stealing no i do other stuff man i only saved this putting stuff back yeah i only saved this because i wasn't even going to bring it up on

reddit dump on the show i just was saving it to someday show you okay so it is a tiktok of a mom that is like stole i guess some like audio from a movie like a cartoon movie about wolves which is so taylor and i used to go on aol chat rooms and there was this one called wolf chat and there were people would pretend to be wolves and they would be like there was one person named nocte lopez who we definitely cyber bullied for a very long time and would like create new names because they block us and these well these people would just pretend to be wolves in this wolf chat right yeah they just what were things that they would write pads over one milky eye one red eye dark as night shock of white fur they like describe themselves in their

way they're like game of thrones ahead of their time so this woman took her and her three daughters and their three daughters that are on the floor in wolf position, like on all fours. And they are like patting on the floor and growling. And they are lip syncing to a wolf song that was taken from some kind of animated wolf, like about the strength of the pack. So it is the most, it's from TikTok cringe. It's from sad cringe on Reddit. And it is so dumb.

And the thing she wrote on it is fighting for them as a single parent so it's her and her teenage daughters being wolves hold on hold on hold on it's terrible it's so funny to us i'm the alpha i'm the leader i'm the one to trust trust together we do whatever it takes hell so it's three women in a bathroom yeah please watch Please watch it. Yes. Oh, I'll watch it. It makes my heart hurt. No, I want you to watch it in real time. We need to have someone else.

We need... It's not that long. It's worth... I like this song. I'm not kidding, though. Oh, God. I'm the leader. I'm the one to trust.

Trust. We do whatever it takes. We're in this pack for life. Okay. Pad. Okay, this is... Claw. Oh. pad pad claw I like that they look a little like Taylor that's what I was about to say too

I mean it makes me when I see someone like that I feel like I have to put myself in their place and that I am one of them and I feel their embarrassment for them it's tough to watch because that's that's wolves 24 7 that's so much effort went into it that's wolves 24 7 that's not like a funny video they made together like that's there's a lot of that

stuff going on even when the camera's not on that's how i feel from that family kids up that's huh what is happening okay so they're on they're on like so the camera's propped up on the floor and the girls are all the the three girls are probably teenage girlspped up on the floor and the girls are all the, the three girls are probably teenage girls, are all on the floor. Almost like you're looking down like the Rockettes, like on the side. They gave up. They gave up. And the girls are on all fours. And then the mom is singing along to it in the camera, like facing the camera.

And then she takes position with the other wolves, gets in line. And then in the end of it where they're like, oh, we are, why we, we are. They all start like patting the ground and going like, like wolves and oh the mom is too serious to be doing this yeah it's too serious and they're not being funny it's absolutely like these are my kids i'm a single mom we're going to make this work i pulled them out of bed and made them learn the song and now we're doing this they just want to twerk it's like you just i just love thinking about what goes into all of this i mean that was probably about 20 takes pain and sorrow and she was getting mad at each of the daughters like you're not being a wolf enough final thought last night i was wait holy shit shut up bitch um i was last night i was uh looking at like different memes a meme account on instagram

and there was this like clip from a tiktok of a girl that's claiming to be a stay-at-home girlfriend and it's not funny she is not funny i went to her tiktok her name is kendall k-k-e-n-d-e-l-k beautiful girl hot love her fashion sense she seems like a really nice person but i just gotta play this day in the life of and her life looks perfect by the way i'm dying to be a stay-at-home girlfriend and just make matcha lattes all day and open and listen she's and you can tell she's like people can make fun of this but this is actually like she's just not married yet but she's like a stay-at-home wife like doing the laundry unpacking for them making the bed but this her voice is so soothing and i just want to play a day in the life of a stay-at-home girlfriend

of a stay-at-home girlfriend getting back into routine after traveling i first made the bed all nice, took my morning probiotics, did my skincare routine, made myself a green juice. I always crave this when I first wake up. Then I refilled our ice box because we were running out. This is so soothing to me. I made some fresh homemade macadamia nut milk. This is so soothing to me. It is soothing. Luke. Luke's her boyfriend. Yum.

For sure. Shittery. that's what i heard journaling and planning lit a candle then got to some dishes unloaded i wish you would just go i took a shit yeah say the truth i picked up my hangnails until they bled myself then i unboxed all these packages i got when i was i said fuck a million times because I got a paper cut. I accidentally threw a box at my dog. Didn't mean to. He yelled.

I cried because I hurt him. He doesn't work either. Got pounded really hard in my ass. Oh my God. Jesus. I want to be a stay-at-home girlfriend. I know, right? It sounds so fucking good.

First of all, I love her voice so much, and I was just hypnotically watching all of her videos last night, soothing myself to sleep. I really think I'm going to start an ASMR account. Yeah. I think you should make a parody of that which could be very funny i am a stay-at-home single 40 year old childless woman who wakes up i wake up every morning what do you do um i get out of bed uh it is drenched in sweat because last night I was kind of just like tossing and turning and having dreams about falling off of roller coasters. And then I go and I collect the wrappers of the protein bars I ate in bed

and count how much damage I did last night. This is seriously, I'm getting ASMR. I knock over my humidifier. It spills water everywhere. I yell, shit, fuck. Then I kick it across the room it kind of spills some more and gets all over some clothes that I have laying on the floor then I go to the bathroom and I kind of like shove some

shit out of the way I it were I pick up my toothbrush it's one of two that I use one I once used to like clean something really disgusting but I like you know ran out of a toothbrush one day and i was like wait a second if i just like wash it really hard maybe like i'll get all like that disgusting stuff off that i used as like a chemical agent to clean something and so it's either that toothbrush or the other one that's like shedding um pieces of it in my mouth and so every time i feel like i have pubic hairs in my mouth so it's one of those two toothbrushes I choose it I um I brush my teeth pretty well I don't floss because I look at the floss I kind of like look around for it I can't find it that's a sign from god I shouldn't floss this morning even though I ate in bed last night and I definitely should then I brush my teeth I

um walk into my closet and I yell fuck shit um I yell, you have nothing to wear, you fat piece of shit. I kind of like look at some t-shirts. I pick out the biggest one because I feel like a fat piece of shit today. And then I go in my sock drawer. I pick out some socks that like kind of feel like spongy and like they still have soap in them because I use too much liquid detergent when I was doing my clothing. And then I put them on. They feel gross on my feet. I kind of think I'm a disgusting woman. I kind of like say a couple like negative affirmations to myself in my closet before I choose my shoes. And I pick out like a dirty pair of tennis shoes.

I kind of like think to myself, oh my God, you need new ones. Like they're not white enough. You're not good enough. And then I slip them on. I pull out my phone and I go and I make a mobile order. I spend $7.24 on a coffee. Then I'm going to suck down in 30 seconds. Even though I get it extra hot.

So I won't drink it as fast. But I am a monster. I'm a little chug goblin. And so I can only chug it down. I burn my throat that I just spent $45,000 fixing. I go to Starbucks. I walk in. No one says hi to me.

Everyone kind of knows the deal. She's not in a good mood. She kind of looks ragged. I's not in a good mood she kind of looks ragged um i walk in i grab my starbucks off the counter it's um i kind of um get yelled at because it's like not mine and it's someone else's and i didn't check the name because i assumed i'm the only one getting like a hot beverage this morning even though the season is changing so i have to start like assuming that maybe other people are getting hot beverages because in the summer mainly like i'm the only one getting a hot beverage so i can kind of be safe that i'm the

only venti like hot beverage and so this guy it's like todd's drink so i put it back on i'm really embarrassed i kind of like already sucked the top of it i hope no one saw that so todd like might get covet i don't know if i have it so then i go home with my latte um i uh i stop in the like storage room and like kind of look at the packages and just like see like what other people are getting i see a cuisinart and i'm like i could never use one i like wouldn't even know what to do with that because i'm like not a real woman so then i go over and i take the elevator up and i go back upstairs and then i like kind of like go in the cabinet and even though i've eaten like three protein bars um between the hours of 5 a.m and

7 a.m in bed i kind of like just assume that like maybe it's a new day and I deserve another breakfast and so I go in and I eat about two protein bars and then I suck down my rest of my coffee and I kind of feel like I deserve another one but instead I have three stevia or zevias and then I like freak out that like the box is already like empty so I take the box out of the fridge and then i like flatten it and i feel like really accomplished so like i flatten this box instead of like just shoving it in as a full box and i'm like i'm a real woman and then i go in i start my podcast and everything feels right and that's the life of a single girl that has nothing no no responsibility we have to make that uh can we

make that let's make that like the one of the days this week i'm not even kidding to help me sleep i want to make that i think we just made it we gotta make that yeah we'll just do all the whatever you just fucking said we'll just do shots of all that that's really what i do it would be fucking incredible and the funniest part about it it's only 10 a.m still like that you could do you could do it real time a day in the life a day in the hour a day in five minutes of nikki's brain 38 year old woman that girl did like but that girl she spaced it out you know but i know she didn't count like shitting and like brushing her teeth and all the things like you can't do you can't fit in everything but there are no like homemade matchas like being made by me and i'm not

like unboxing things and like feeling the fabrics and also those packages she has nothing to do all i mean that was like three hours of her day to do this girl i i want to i should talk these women that do this stuff i'm just insanely jealous and i am actually a fan of this girl and i'm and i'd probably be friends with her i saw some other things that she did and i was kind of like oh she's cute she doesn't wear makeup in every video i appreciate that um yeah she's just simple she likes simple pleasures no i like some of those things a day in the life like i wake up at 4 a.m i'm freaking you know like everything's yeah i pray i journal i write down every thought i've ever had i give money to an orphan yeah i have sex with a beautiful woman who comes so many times it makes me sick

i don't even try to come i'm not not even hard, but I do it for her. And then I put on an exfoliant. And I take away my face that I don't really love. But it's a perfect face. It's chiseled. It looks like chocolate. Like a little chocolate bunny. All right. We got to go.
