No, but like past things. Past iterations, yeah. But this is so exciting. You were on the Tonight Show. A serious show. Yeah, I was on your serious show.

Yeah, that's right. Okay. Like the day the world shut down. Really? Yeah, like truly, I went into, it was like the day after Tom Hanks said he had COVID. Oh my God. And the day the NBA stopped.

Wow. Yeah, because I was in LA. Yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah, you have like documentary footage of like the last time people were normal. I do. I did Conan.

Someone just sent me a picture of my dressing room at Conan that said Nikki Glaser. And it was up there for two years. Or maybe a year after. Something like that. Because it was the last show they taped there. So my dressing room had Nikki Glaser on the door at Team Coco for a whole year. It was so cool. That is so cool.

He was like the last person I hugged besides my family. It's like I died. Yes. Oh, my God. Didn't we all die back then a little bit? So Sean O'Connor's here. I've been friends with him since MySpace, I think is when we met.

Yeah, MySpace. Yeah, 2000. I would say six or seven. Yeah, let's just say 2000. Yeah. Yeah, we're very young. You were in my top eight, I'm sure. Yeah, no, I think we were top eight mutuals.

Yeah, we just found each other on MySpace and we're just like mutual respect. I missed MySpace. You did? Yeah, I didn't have it. Oh, well, here's someone who actually really, really missed MySpace. You did? Yeah, I didn't have it. Well, here's someone who actually really, really missed MySpace. He's also here, who you've heard me talk about

on the show before. I'm so glad she agreed to do it. She's never... Have you done a podcast before? No. Oh my god. First podcast ever was never on MySpace, was conceived when MySpace was probably not even around. Her parents met on MySpace.

She's my social media maven. It's Emily Liciardi? Lichardi. Lichardi? Yeah, it's really Italian. I don't think I've ever said your last name. No, nobody does. Lichardi.

Lichardi. Where are you from? From Boston. Well, outside of Boston, but everyone. Oh, Boston Italian. Yeah. A rare breed. Oh.

Yeah. Is it a rare breed oh yeah i don't know it's kind of like the inverse of new york we wouldn't expect it it's very irish yeah and then there's some italian and new york it's italian yeah some irish okay well i'm so glad to have you here because um i've been talking about you a lot and you listen to the show i know i was a bestie yeah wow. So much. Oh my God. Now you're, I don't know. Yeah.

You still can be if you're on the show. Yeah. I want to just talk about you walked in today, Sean, with your daily, you drink Celsius, which I think probably a lot of besties drink and people are addicted to it. Yeah. Me Dakota Johnson.

Dakota Johnson. We were just talking about this. She had a clip go. Did you see it, Emily? Like she's talking about how she was on set drinking Celsius because she didn't know they had caffeine in it. She just thought it was like a vitamin kind of drink. And she was drinking like two a day and didn't realize. And she was just staying up all night and being inspired and having all these ideas and just being thrilled about life.

I was like, Sean, it honestly sounded like a real good pitch for drinking Celsius. I'm like, why would this girl quit? Yeah. Because it all sounded good. Yeah, but then I was having my morning Celsius and I looked down and it is chipping the paint. It is decaying the paint on the can just in the spot where he's sipping from.

So just the Celsius pouring over into his mouth is sending, you're drinking paint. It's decomposing. Listen, I'm gonna, you know pain decomposing i'm gonna you know i know i'm gonna die one day yeah that's good you know that but imagine dying feeling incredible like the best idea ever before you go when like what does it make you are you past that point of it makes you feel euphoric it just makes you feel normal now yeah i'm normal i mean i'm energized i'm sweating from my teeth i feel that way about like i i will notice my day will be i will be in the worst mood and then i have a little bit of caffeine and i am suddenly so sunny everything's fine it's really a sick thing that it can shift you that much do you guys feel that

way about caffeine it's just a shame that drugs have negative effects on the human body. Otherwise, we should all be taking drugs constantly because life is a barrage of torture. Yes, I agree. Drugs are great. We need more drugs that have less effects. No, they are so good. It sucks that they're bad for you. I mean, it's like one of the worst, cruelest tricks God has ever played.

And that you can't really enjoy them in moderation. No one does. And if you do, you're not really getting the effects of it in the way that is intended. Because if you really

did get the effects of it, you'd never want to stop. Like, when I first drank, I always say this, but I just remember being baffled. Like,

why don't we do this all the, why doesn't everyone do this all the time? I feel amazing. I'm confident. I'm funnier. I'm more social. Suddenly, baffled like why don't we do this all the why doesn't everyone do this all the time i feel amazing i'm confident i'm funnier i'm more social suddenly i feel like i should talk and there was a guy in alley like i feel your sister yeah i just couldn't believe we don't do it all the time and like so when people are just like no i just it kind of makes me feel a little sick and slow. I'm just like, oh, you don't, then you don't know what, how do you not, have you not felt that other thing that I'm talking about? It's kind of like, I guess like everyone is just different.

Like genetically you are kind of predisposed. Like for whatever reason, when I, alcohol touches my tongue, no matter how much, I'm just like, here we go. I am the mayor of a party wait can we talk about why you had to quit drinking um you still don't drink right or do you dabble i dabble but i don't really do it that much i probably have done it three times this year to a small amount okay because when you drink to excess, because you've gone through stages where you've like totally walked away from it, right? And now you're like a dad.

So it's like, there's not a lot of space for you to go wild. No, it's like a wine at dinner now. Wow. So you, and you don't want to keep going? No, just because I like wine. I've discovered that wine does not taste good, even when it's like expensive to me. I'm never doing anything for the taste. No, there's no taste with alcohol. Anyone who thinks it tastes good is expensive to me. I'm never doing anything for the taste. No, there's no taste with alcohol.

Anyone who thinks it tastes good is lying to themselves. Have you ever tasted juice? Just drink that. Or candy. That's ridiculous. That's why people put sugar in it because it is bad. Yeah. Oh, but no.

But in my 20s, like the early 20s, I would say 20 to 25. I was like, I guess you would call it an alcoholic. Searching for the word. Yeah, that's the word that most people would use. But the story that I love that you told recently, and maybe you don't want to tell it, was at the SNL after party. Oh, my God. Yeah. I was just, you know, I just had that,

the warm glow of, you know, vodka tonic. Like, you know, that warm hug. That's me right now. The worst taste you've ever had

combined with the other worst taste you've ever had. God, tonic is so fucking bad. Yeah. I think it was just. It's not good. It was just invented

so people who used to drink a lot would have like replicate the bitterness oh it's such a good point yeah like why just make so you can take the alcohol out and still feel like you're maybe doing something yeah exactly like you're punishing yourself it's bad okay so you were and it's packed with sugar it's not even good and it's packed with sugar it tastes so not even good, and it's packed with sugar. It tastes so bad that you think maybe it is healthy or something. Yeah. But it's not. Because it does taste like a Christmas tree a little bit.

If you want to drink and not have calories, kettle and soda, everyone. Kettle and soda with lemon. There's no calories in it except the kettle. I mean, that used to be my drink. I don't encourage this because it goes down real sweet. It does. And real soft. Yeah, no. I mean, honestly, if you're going to do it, vodka soda is the way to go. I mean, that used to be my drink. I don't encourage this because it goes down real sweet. It does. And real soft. Yeah, no.

I mean, honestly, if you're going to do it, vodka soda is the way to go. Vodka soda. I know. We all got on board with those, like, I would say 2008 or 9, 10 is when I discovered them. But before that, I was drinking just the most highly caloric, disgusting drinks. You kind of mature out of it being like, I'm not going to just drink beer. I'm not like that. I'm classier.

I want to get blackout drunk. And then they just started making vodka sodas in those are just now seltzer, like the seltzer alcohol drinks. Hard seltzers. Hard seltzers, thank you. So Sean, SNL After Party, who was hosting? It was Seth Rogen and Spoon. Thank you. So Sean, yeah. SNL after party. Who was hosting? Uh, it was,

uh, Seth Rogen and spoon. And I go, I go to the after party and like, I'm not supposed to be there. I didn't go to the show, but like Jonah Ray was like, he was,

he went to the show and he's like, do you want to come to the after party? I was like, yes. So I like show up. I'm like already drunk and just sweaty. You're wet. I'm like already drunk and just sweaty. You're wet. I'm wet.

Like if everyone was looking at me like, oh, my God, did it just start pouring? So I go in. I get like a $25 vodka soda. I'm like, this is the best. Oh, my God. I went to the bathroom. I saw people doing cocaine. I'm like, this is the best. Oh my God. I went into the bathroom. I saw people doing cocaine. I'm like, this is my dream.

I see Keenan dancing. And then I see in the distance, Lorne Michaels sitting there. And I'm like talking to Jonah Ray and I'm like, I'm going to go talk to Lorne. Don't do that so I just you know I slide over because I'm just so wet

I'm a slimer someone just gently pushes you and you just slide you pass Kenan I approach him at his table and I'm like, I just want to let you know.

Oh, God. I'm like, you changed my life. And he's like, just like staring at me. Because he's protected from any of that bullshit. Like you would think

he gets it all the time, but no, I'm thinking he's very well protected from it. Yes, well protected. There's a reason he's in like a booth in the corner and then like,

Jonah Ray, basically like Apollo Sandman me. It's so humiliating. It is. And it took you years after that to actually quit. Yeah, exactly. That was not rock bottom. I was at an SNL after party. That's a peak.

But yeah, the Celsius, bottom i was at an snl after party that's a peak but yeah the celsius now you're on this this track oh i love addictions i do too just switch them up baby just go from one to the next have you tried to quit celsius yet and like or like how many are you up to a day not oh i'm now at one a week i'm allowing myself one a week this is your one a week yes my one a week. I'm allowing myself one a week. No way. This is your one a week? Yes, my one a week. I have to relax. Oh, my God. Good for you. Do you get jittery? Oh, yeah.

No. And sometimes you feel like your heart's like bat wings. Yeah, yeah. That's not good. Oh, my God. That's not good. Holy shit. Okay.

So one a week. That's great that you're down to that. So what is going in place of that? Can I just diet coke? Like three Starbucks a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy how caffeine does make you feel so good. It's such a good drug. I mean, according to the Celsius can, the caffeine comes from green tea and guarana seed,

which seems like better for you than Coke. It does, but like, if you look at the daily percentages, biotin is 1,000%.

This should not be possible to ingest in one can 1,000% of anything. Of anything. That's true. Never mind the thing

that makes your nails and hair grow. Thank God you're getting that biotin in today. Yeah, Celsius is going to... Ten days worth. Well, it's one a week. Yeah. If you dig me up when I'm in my grade, my nails and hair are going to be luxurious.

Oh, my God. Well, thank God it's vegan. I see that on the side. There's like a little heart with like an animal's face. They've managed not to put any meat in that can. Oh, good, good, good, good. Yeah, no, they definitely make you feel alive, but like just tense and jittery. And I mean, it's like it's as close to Adderall as you can drink.

Yeah, wait, did you ever believe in like ghosts as a kid? Like when you were in the club? Wait, you told me once. Because I was like, I just drank one because you were in the club you told me once because i was like i just drank one because you're on the road with me sometimes and so i've added celsius to the rider and one day he wasn't on the road so i go i drank your celsius and what did you say to me you go tonight you're going to be visited by many ghosts for some reason when i try to go to sleep, every noise is amplified. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

You're in fight or flight. Yeah, no, but like just the Ebenezer Scrooge. Also, I drank your Celsius and now I want to run a marathon and do my taxes. I said, this shit is no joke. You go, oh yeah, seriously, turn off all your lights tonight. Makes me feel like Ebenezer Scrooge. I'm visited by ghosts. Oh, wow. tonight makes me feel like ebonies are screws i'm visited by ghosts oh wow well it says the flavor you're drinking is oasis vibe and we were just talking about the word vibe as we talk about a lot of different words that um i mean vibe has been one that's

been around forever and it's not going away and it's it is slang but do you count that as gen z slang do you say vibe ever or is that kind of like yeah or i would say i would say vibes like with the s vimes yeah okay like if you were like oh we're gonna go here for dinner i would say vibes vibes okay yeah i just want to go over you guys love eliminating sentence structure from yeah you just do the one word the keyword okay i do use one or i've noticed too with Nikki, like I'll send 10 texts of one word. You know what I mean? Like you guys will send a paragraph and then I'll send like, LOL.

Okay, what are you doing now? Like a lot of texts. I got it. Yes. Yes. I don't mind that. Like short attention span. So I like have to get all my thoughts out separately.

Right. Right. So I'm just going to read some things that Emily and I have texted just to get a sense of like But this is a funny moment the other day cuz we actually on we're on the road recently We were talking about how you went to Montessori schools. Oh my gosh. Yeah, and I'm Montessori like first of all, you're so so smart So anytime I'm ever commenting like you don't know this thing like just know that I know Yeah, you did. Yeah. Yeah, we were great on this. But she went to Montessori schools, and in Montessori schools, they are adamant about learning maps.

She knows where every country is on a map, whereas I think in our educations, I don't know anything on a map. It's kind of America and your state. That's all you kind of learn about. It's totally America and your state, and maybe the bordering states, if you didn't miss that day because you had a sinus infection or something.

Your tummy hurt. You maybe know this. But I really I don't even know if I could label all the U.S. states accurately. Like I wouldn't bank a lot of money on it because I would get screwed up around New Hampshire. I might not know where it is. But you might because you're from New York and there's bordering. Well, I know all the states and all the countries. I just made an effort to learn

that even though I didn't go to Montessori school. I can name all 270 countries. Of course you can. So when did you make this effort? I would say over COVID is when it really started to happen. And did you just sit down one day with a... Oh, you know what? It was actually when I was bored at work, I would do it.

There's a website called Jet Punk that has all these quizzes and one of the quizzes is name all the countries in the world based on the world map oh yeah and i would just like try to get it and you have to do it within like 15 minutes wow i need to do that yeah no it's fun you know because i did this at seven like seven eight years old is when you start coloring well you're probably going to be a savant at it so i I said over the weekend, like, we were talking about, like, who are our biggest celebrities that we'd want to meet because I, yesterday on the podcast I talked about the celebrity that

was coming to my show and when I told Emily about it, she played the 20 questions game to get it that I was talking about that I did on Girls Chat too and that was a fucking nightmare playing 20 questions on Girls Chat. I got into it yesterday but they don't know the difference between a yes or no question. They just started guessing names. They were having no fun with it. They were just guessing names. I'm like, this they don't know the difference between a yes or no question they just started guessing names they were having no fun with it they were just guessing names i'm like this isn't i know that's a yes or no question but that's not

a fun yes or no question to just be like you know but then you guessed it in within five questions literally insane because we did it on his app he has like an ai app that's like tries to guess people and it always gets everything right well i doesn't claim AI. Well, I wish it was because that was such an embarrassment. Have you ever heard of the Akinator? Oh my God, my son's obsessed

with the Akinator. Great for children. Well, it didn't guess this person. Anyway, you guessed it within five guesses. Because I did it by you,

like knowing you. You what? Like I did it based off like knowing you. Oh, you took context clues outside of the 20 questions.

No, but I said to you, I didn't, I said, guess who, I just had a really strong first question honestly what was the first question well i can't say i can't say because i don't but i will i will just play this video that she sent me um no can i just play it into this i did send it to you do you want to play it through yours i have it i can actually play it right now because okay so i um i said uh i so she guessed it right and um first of all her her reaction was no fucking way shut the fuck up how nikki what these are all separate and they're all in caps all the letters are separate did she text you hello um she goes She texts you. Hello. She goes, no, I am not okay. Not okay.

And then she sends this video. I'm not being dramatic. This is a tear. Like literally a tear. A tear. I did cry. That's so cute. I was so excited.

But then I was like You know She We were talking about How And you said your heart rate That had like Went up And then it went down I don't

Yeah your aura Do you have an aura ring? Yeah I have an aura ring But I showed you Like it literally I was in bed Like it was Cause it's

We're like three hour difference When I'm home in Boston Versus here And it shot up It was like one Cause I was so excited Because it's the cool person Emily Gifford?

Got it. So she, and then I, we're, somehow, I said something about, like, the celebrity who, when this person reaches out, I think I'll be able to quit. Like, I was like, if Jennifer Aniston ever wants to, like, be friends with me, I probably will just drop out of

comedy and the business, because it just feels like that's, like, would be my Everest. Andest yeah and she goes okay well blank is my everest for you like this person this other person and she said so we're we're on to so like we're on to kill a manjaro and then she goes wait and then she you put it in disappearing i don't even know what this is invisible ink where you have to like press on The text to expose it Like a scratchers ticket It's very fun

Is that the bigger I have zero clue So she didn't know that Everest Is the tallest mountain in the world And so I go Everest is the biggest I said Montessori Screwed you on that one it's in Nepal And I go which I'm sure you can find on a map Which I cannot.

So in that way, she goes, oh, good. Not even the right. And I said, I would point to Peru. And she goes, oh, good. Not even the right continent. I know I would not point to Peru, but I would probably have pointed to Pakistan. Yeah. It's in Nepal.

I think I know the general area. You didn't know Everest was in Nepal? Yes, I did. But I guess I didn't just hear you said just Nepal just now think I know the general area. You didn't know Everest was in Nepal? Yes, I did. But I guess I didn't just hear you said just Nepal just now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you do invisible ink? You press on the text. You know, arrow up, right?

You get all your effects. Yeah, you like hold down on the blue thing. Like, you know, you just quickly send it. And then you hit invisible ink. It's great. You have to send it first and then hit invisible? No, so like before you send it. What is the text? if I'm typing like hello

and then I press on that blue. I didn't, whoa, that's a whole new menu. Loud, gentle or invisible. Slam is fun. I had no idea that menu. What does loud do? That's loud. Or is that?

Slam is just one that like takes the whole screen and bam. What's the one where it pops up? Cause I love doing that about. That's loud. I do that. That's the dumbest. And then you you can slide over you slide over and then it's screen effects you can get like lasers fireworks confetti yes i know about those if you say congratulations it automatically does fireworks when it does that yeah i don't want that fireworks sometimes it's just like yeah and i'm anti-fireworks yeah i've. I want only drones from now on. Yeah, pure drone shows. To protect animals.

But okay, so is Invisible Ink the one that is, you send that one a lot to me. The others, you're not using slam, or you're not using loud. No, I don't use anything. Invisible Ink just adds like spice to a text. It's fun. It's a little game.

It's not like I'm like talking shit about someone. It totally adds spice. Like it adds spice. So it's like, I'll send it to be like, this is funnier. If I just sent it without Invisible Link, it wouldn't have been as funny.

Yeah, you're right. My Gen Z coworker uses it exclusively for talking shit. Oh. Well, people I think think that and then someone

can still screenshot it. I'm like, yeah, it's not like it goes away. It's not like, no way. But it's just fun. I think it's a fun way

to scratch off and you're like, oh my God. You were talking about Oda Kotb. All my references are to the donation. We're selling NBC. Oh my God.

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 player boy 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 Crumbs as part of the Michael Lura Podcast Network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

Let's try it. Does anyone have an Android? I don't know anyone with one. I got them all out of my life. Androids are more popular than you'd think. They really are because they're good Galaxy Note Their cameras

Yeah their cameras are like significantly better Whenever I do meet and greets and someone has an Android phone The picture is always better But they're more annoying to use And I'm sorry But it's just like when you When you ruin a group chat With your green bubble It it sucks, man.

I don't know why. I'm in a group chat with an Android boy, and it sucks. It sucks. It makes everything. It brings everyone down. It's like, oh, blank, laughed at an image. I couldn't. Oh, yeah.

No. I hate when it describes that. Why can't they have to use haha? I was in one, and my text ran out. I had to pay for my texts. I had to start paying for texts. With Android? With a group chat with someone who did not have an iPhone.

I'm assuming they had an Android. It's a good point. Anya was, because I was bullying Matt about it, my tour manager, because, you know, in a funny way, that led him to eventually get an iPhone. but i was just like i was just like it just and she goes it really sucks that like they're monopoly they're making us all

think that you're lesser than we're doing the lord's work for them we're we're capitalist chills yeah and we're trying to force everyone into this monopoly when really apple needs to universalize its programming language with all the other text companies so that everyone's phone is equal yeah you're so that should be a law you're right you're right but it is fun to make fun of your android like to the point where the our one android boy uh one of our people on the group chat is mike scollins who's like a writer at seth myers he inserted our friend's name into like a rant about android about how much he's ruining it that's so funny like it's great they just kept calling him out and it became a runner for the entire episode because he's ruining our

group chat well i remember getting an iphone for the first time and i probably got on board with the three or something fairly early. But it was like a transition to learn the new phone, and you feel like I'm going to be so left out. I don't know how to catch up. But we just adapt so quickly to things you don't even know. I've really learned that with these fucking long nails. My life, I've just adapted to being someone who three days ago couldn't do anything. And now I'm just changed the way, like you learn so quickly how to move differently

and learn these. And especially if you're a younger person. So just get an iPhone, join the club. My screen is shattered and I don't think I'm gonna replace it. Like I don't care. It doesn't bother me that much. It's okay.

That's very on brand. But I used to really, really i know you love just smashing things up and leave it in there i know it makes me that makes me feel like white trash to have a cracked screen but the thing is the truth of it i don't want to be away from my phone you're the busy business to get fixed like the idea what am i fixed. It's like putting your car in the shop. Yeah, giving it to just some guy at the mall for two hours. They could hack you. They could take your photos. I don't mind that.

I'm not really protective over that stuff. They could take your text. They could reveal who this person is. Oh my god. Yeah, that's true. And they could sell it to TMZ for $40,000. Oh my god. See, I never think about that. I just really don't want to be away from my phone for an hour. Well, they ship it to you

because I crack my screen every month. Every once a month. And I just get it like AT&T just sends me a new one and then I send this back once I get the new one. What? You must have the really good plan. I mean, I probably have that too. Probably.

Get an OtterBox. I never look into it. An OtterBox, no. What? No. It's too big. Too bulky. Oh my gosh.

No, see, it looks like a Lego. Here's the thing. I have this one, which is pretty heavy duty. And I have just slices on my phone because I fall asleep looking at my phone. And then I think I just throw it in the middle of the night. What? Do you wake up with it across the room and stuff? It's like truly like at my feet sometimes.

Wow. Wow. Yeah. The ghosts. You see a ghost. Wow. Wow. Yeah. The ghosts. Yeah. You see a ghost. I'm like, yeah. I'm not well.

I wanted to go over some Gen Z slang and see if you're actually using this. I mean, I know every podcast has already done that. This is like such a classic thing to go be like, what are these words mean? And how do we use them? But I like the take of, are you actually using this? Yes. That's a good angle, I think. Because I feel like most of these lists are compiled by parents of Gen Zers.

Yeah. On fleek. And it's like, what? Yeah. I mean, some of these I'm just like, do you really need to include? Like, it'll be like, there'll be vibe on this. Yeah. Or BDE.

Oh, my God. Where it's like, We know what that is And they're not using that But I feel like There's also like I I just turned 26 So yeah

I keep thinking 25 Wow you can rent a car Last week Labor Day Oh my god It was your birthday last week I fucking missed it Oh shit

I'm like not a birthday girl You aren't? No like I love celebrating others But I don't really That doesn't track Cause I always say If you wanna know Who to send a birthday gift to or to celebrate

their birthday, whoever celebrates yours, you got to. If you want to know who cares about their birthday being acknowledged, check on the person who always acknowledges yours. Skip anyone who skips yours. But if they care about yours, you got to care about them because they are a birthday girly. You are a birthday girly. Did you do birthday girly did you do anything special no did you get anything special i got this bracelet oh okay where's that from oh your whoa it's got charms oh my god how much are we talking for this 9.95 no probably like six six okay okay it's amazing don't walk around with

that in venice yeah i got no kidding yeah just like that really i if i'm a type of girl if i like want something i just buy it for myself i know yes you know yeah i agree um bentley but i do think you have big birthday energy like i love celebrating other people like i love to make other people feel like on top of the you know because i think it's good to lift people up like that you're an up you're too but you don't want It for yourself No I get very like Kind of shy and anxious When attention's on me

I'm the same Noah didn't want Like when she was getting married She was very uncomfortable With the idea of like Having everyone look at her Like are you the same way Yes

Like I could not be Like I love being behind the scenes And like a part of it But I could never be it Right I I hate birthdays Because I'm like

I didn't do anything to earn this and i only want to be celebrated for something i've done and even then i'm like i didn't really do this i was just born with this brain i'm lucky like i dismiss it all so it's very weird um okay so let's go over some gen z terms shall we yeah and gen z is almost like old now That's what I was gonna say I feel like now there's words that people are using that are younger than me Yeah, alphas And I'm like, Ohio What?

Oh, I know something you don't That's over No, it's not Ohio is the new thing that Gen Alpha is saying To describe something that is lame is your Ohio Isn't that so funny? That's really good It's real, you guys.

Okay. Yeah, Alpha's the new cool kids. You're over. You're old news. 26. Because I've never been millennial. I used to feel so cool

because I was a millennial and now it's, everyone ages, you guys. No, but I do like hearing about millennials. We're as lame as Jenna. We all become the joke. Yeah, we're all the joke.

But you guys had cool stuff. Like, I just learned about like TRL a couple months ago. Oh my God, get out of here. TRL was amazing. Yeah, we're all the joke. But you guys had cool stuff. Like, I just learned about, like, TRL a couple months ago. Oh, my God. Get out of here. TRL was amazing. See? I would have loved it.

And I know I would have. You are actively voting for... Stand outside Times Square with a sign? Yes. And then... You got to choose. No. Yes.

Like, I remember, like, me and my shithead friends all voting for Tom Green's The Bum Bum song. Yes. Yes. Just for the sake. It's gotta beum Bum song. Yes! Just because it's like, it's gotta be Backstreet Boys. Remember the VJ search? That was my favorite because it was like, you could become a famous person,

you're a normal person, and you could become a famous person just by going to audition. So they would search for a VJ and they would go from town to town. It was like American Idol, but they were searching for a VJ, which is like just one of the commentators on MTV that would like introduce videos.

Video jockey for like DJ, like disc jockey. I had no idea that. Video jockey. So they called VJs in MTV. So it's like old school lingo. And remember- TV is television. Dave Holmes.

Dave Holmes. He's just a sweet guy. He got second place. Second place. To Jesse Camp. Jesse Camp. Jesse Camp was my favorite, though. I really wanted Jesse to win, even though Dave has stayed around.

He was so smart. Dave is so smart. He's such a good writer. If it was a meritocracy, he would have won. Absolutely. But Jesse was wild and gangly and just a party animal and was destined. Wait, so they only picked one? Yeah, so you would pick one.

And that year, it would be like every year a new, it was the search for a VJ and it was a huge event. I mean, for me at least. Oh, it was gigantic. Because I was like, I could do it. I could be famous. I wanted Jesse Camp so bad because Dave Holmes is like so smart and he was like really talented and like

well put together. But Jesse Camp, he was kind of like if you found like a cigarette on the street and gave him life. And poured Celsius over it. Put it under a black light and grew it to a person. Yeah, he was wild. And he's missing. I mean, like, I don't know where he is.

I think every five years, somebody finds him on TikTok. Mostly like walking up to people at a Del Taco. But Dave Holmes is like still around, still an author, still doing incredible things. He's a host. He's he's he is a podcast. Dave Holmes. He has a podcast where he is going over like great moments in MTV history or something like that. He was just on Chris's podcast talking about it.

He's from St. Louis. I love him so much. I love him so much. So much. He's so, so smart. I got really into this movie, and I posted it on Twitter, and then he DM'd me.

He's like, that was my favorite movie as a kid. Which movie? It's called Starstruck. It's like an Australian musical. Oh, no. I was thinking, if you knew what this was. I've seen the Disney. This is so obscure. The Disney original Starstruck? Okay. musical oh no if you knew what this this is like so obscure the disney original starstruck

uh okay that's so cool dave holmes dm'd you he's like he's like we should he's like you should be we should talk about this more like we should get a drink like he was like i was like oh my god i saw him at walgreens once when i was like on christmas vacation coming

home and because he's from st louis and he was at my local Walgreens. And I was just like about to collapse because I was behind him and like couldn't breathe because he was so famous. And he was at my Walgreens in De Pere, Missouri. It was wild. He's so cool. It makes no sense when you see like a famous person in your hometown. No, it doesn't. And that's why when people see me and they don't know I live in St. Louis

and they'll recognize me, and they're always like, sometimes they're just so fine about it. They're just like, oh, you were great on the roast. And I'm like, and I go, they'll be like, what are you doing in town? Like, they're so casual. I go, I live here. And I'm like, I mean, how did you not know I lived here when you were so casual about seeing

me at TJ Maxx in Brentwood? How were you not like, what the fuck are you doing here? I'm just like, what are you doing? This should be a bigger moment for you. I mean, I always just put myself in their shoes of like, if I saw someone that I didn't know lived in my town in a small suburb of my town,

I'd freak out. I saw Barack and Wendy's today. People are just so cool. I guess I'm just, yeah. I guess I'm just, yeah, I guess I'm famous. People are over it. So important.

So important to me. Like, cause I remember being 13 and like meeting Kevin Smith in, but it was in his comic book store he owned. Like,

and I still was like almost crying. Because you know what's cool about it? I know that people are, someone wrote to me recently, a shout out to my friend Amy and she was like,

she goes, famous, she was like, I almost think famous people care about famous people more than anyone does. Yeah. And you guys keep your own bullshit going. She didn't say bullshit

because she was trying to be nice, but she was like, no one else cares about famous people as much as you famous people talking about famous people. And I will agree, like that's why we end up doing this is because we're attracted to the-

The glitz. The glitz and the glamour. But let me just say, it's not like an empty pursuit. It's very cool to see someone that everyone in the world knows. It makes you feel connected to everyone on the planet. When I'm about to interview someone who is one of the top three famous people in the world,

that if you go to a tribe in Africa and they would recognize this person's name, that is interesting to me that I know that person or that I've seen that person. Al Roker. It makes me feel connected to the world because we just we how often do you see someone that ever like everyone knows i just for some reason i think that that's why fame is interesting to me is that it connects us all in some way can i say something about vjs when i was 12 years old a vj said something on mtv that just like for some reason impacted my me and i remember it to this day yeah please I love

these moments it was that spring break MTV VJ spring break or whatever and the VJ said a hard body is always in style oh and that just like got ingrained into my brain I was like 12 and I was like is that true wow these moments yeah a hard body is always in style. And even to this day, you think about that and it does. She was so cool, whoever that VJ was. Does it sometimes propel you to do that extra rep, like that moment? Like, do you think it's like? I think so.

I think it really impacted me. It like went into my like reptilian brain and it emerges every couple of weeks. I'm trying to think of moments like that that impacted me too. And I think my aunt telling me that you'll never get a date if you eat like that.

Wow. And I remember being like, I don't want one. Like I remember wanting to keep eating like that because I hated boys and I didn't want a date. But now it will sometimes affect me when I think about

when I catch myself eating like that. It will echo through my head. But like cultural moments like that, I do. Because she was so cool and so much cooler than I could ever imagine being. And then she said that. And at the time, actually, now that I think about it, when I was in middle school, I was a pretty chubby kid. And the summer from middle school to high school, I started working out, and I became a skinny kid, and I actually, in my high school yearbook,

got most change since middle school, and I wonder if it's because that BJ said that. Honestly, I've been spending the last two minutes thinking of what BJ is. I feel like it's Adonda Lewis. I feel like... It was Adonda Lewis! Adonda Lewis! I have her in my head. Let me look up Adanda Lewis. I feel like... I was Ananda Lewis. Ananda Lewis.

I have her in my head. Let me look up Ananda Lewis. She's black. Yeah, she's so beautiful. Like, droid. Ananda Lewis. As a boy, I was just so obsessed with Ananda Lewis. Yeah, that's her.

Yep. That's amazing. She's definitely... Honestly, she respects a hard body. Wow. It will never not be in style she respects A hard body Wow It will never Not be in style To have a hard body I remember

You know one that stands out To me just Thinking about it Is Clueless Where Cher says I want to be 5'10 Just like Cindy Crawford And she won't

She won't drink Coffee Because it stunts your growth And I want to be 5'10 Like Cindy Crawford And I always was like And because I'm 5'9 I always feel like I just want to And when I meet want to be 5'10", like Cindy Crawford. And I always was like, and because I'm 5'9", I always feel like, I just want to.

And when I meet girls who are 5'10", I'm like, like Cindy Crawford. And they're like, what? And I go, clueless. I go, I don't know what you're talking about. That stuck in my head, the 5'10", only because I was on Wikipedia this week and I saw that the girl from Bottoms,

Havana Rose Liu, got cast. And I clicked on her Wikipedia. And she's a model model and then I was like it said she was 5'4 and a half. I'm like she's not a model. Like it immediately clicked in my head. Anyone can be a model though now. These days.

I think you could just say you're a model. Even if you're ugly. Yeah, listen, I'm woke. Anyone could be a model. Even if you're disgusting. Even if you're a terrorist. Okay. Oh, we have to go to break and we'll be back with Gen Z terms after this. Break.

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 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 Crumbs as part of the Michael Dura Podcast Network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, Noah. Hit it. Alright.

Have you heard of the term bussin'? Yeah, I've heard of bussin'. Do you know what bussin' is? Of course. Wait, I think I want to guess what bussin' is. I feel like you need to use it in a sentence, too. Bussin', is that the equivalent of hustling? Like you're really pushing hard and working hard?

Bussin', I think it means beat up. I think it means bustin'. Okay. Yeah. Like coming? Yeah. Oh, my. No, I don't think it means Bustin Like Okay Yeah Yeah Like coming? Yeah Oh my No I don't think it's that

No That reaction Proved that I was wrong No Bustin Do you want me to tell you What it is? Yeah

Okay so Bustin is like I feel like Really good Like that's Bustin Okay Why is it that? Of course I'm right What does it come from?

People who ride buses Are generally not feeling good. Yeah, but I'm trying to think of what that would, because I'm seated makes sense. It's like, oh, I have to sit down and prepare myself for this information. Like that tracks, but bussing, I'm just like, where could that have? It has a Portuguese origin, right?

It has a Portuguese origin, yes. No, I don't know. Busiani, which means. No, bussing just means like that's really good. Like people would be like bussing, especially in regards to food. Like food is bussing. Do you say it's bussing?

Do you buss to your table like a busboy? That seems... But it's good. It's good. It means it's really good. So it's like these buffalo wings are bussing. Or like you could just comment again. Okay.

Bussing, period. By the time you finish explaining this, it's going to be old news. Do you say bussing, period? news in period or do you just write bus in no in that's what's funny because vicky you're on your podcast you were like um i emily said period and she didn't mean to but i did oh got it so because sometimes i will say period when i'm dictating and it will write period yes all my friends text me they're like she does she know you meant to say no i do know that now like i i think that i i fucked up that day but i do know when you write period that you're saying period period is like the word for an exclamation point yes like if exclamation point

like that'd be like you know it's just literally makes no fucking sense period t is no what is that we'll we've cut the last letter. Okay. It's period with a period. Okay. Yes, I love it. I love period, period. Yeah.

I never use it. I'm starting to use it. What if you're dictating, I got my period, dot, dot, dot. Period, period. Like, period. So you're trying to dictate that. I got my period. Dictate. Like, dictating.

You don't dictate? Like, you're talking on your phone like, hey, I'll be there in a second. You know Bustin, but you don't know dictate? I have never once done that. Well, you got to start because. You got to remember that Gen Z, their Mavis beacon was on a phone. No, I like. You've never dictated?

I did not know what that meant, if I'm being honest. Listen, girl. Wait, you've never done this of like, oh, wait. What about if you're driving and you want to send a text? I voice honest. Listen, girl. Wait, you've never done this of like, oh, wait. What about if you're driving and you want to send a text? I voice memo. No, what? You've never gone,

hey, I'll be there in the second period? See, that's what I thought you did because it says it will do a period and sometimes it will just write the word period when you're meant to say.

Try your period sentence. No, I have not done that. If I'm driving, I will literally like hit the voice memo thing and I would just start talking talking so if i want to do an ellipses can i say period period period like let's find out i just got my period period period period period period okay no it just stood up did not it only

i just got my period period and then period Period Like the word period Then the symbol period Then the word period And then the symbol period Wow Lots of sentences You dictate I dictate probably 80% of my texts

And I actually have something To say about that Because I feel like millennials It's so hard to read Your tone through text Oh shit And I How did I

I'll text and be like Are they mad at me Like did I do something Okay We need to talk about that Nikki does it a lot And now that I know her Oh no No at first I didn't me Like did I do something Nikki does it a lot and now that I know her No at first I didn't but now that I've

Like been with her a lot and like Gotten closer to her I understand it But I get that a lot where people will just Even in like me talking people think I'm being my I will not understand my tone and I'm almost Never like Like if I'm pissed

It's I'm pissed It's I'm doing it so passive aggressively That you'll be Like It won't ever be obvious But like you know Thanks versus thanks girl Are very different

Thanks period But I try to do Thanks exclamation mark You do But that's what I'm saying So if you don't Or like if someone says Okay period

Might as well just go Fuck yourself Oh right yeah But I've learned from you And I did this on girls chat recently because i said something that like was it seemed like i was being bitchy in my tone and the girls listened to the podcast so they know that if you extend one of the words it makes you can say anything you can be like i hate your haircut and if you just write tttt it's

like nice yeah to be like To say that Or like You know I don't want to be friends anymore And then it not Is not mean Even though you're saying something mean Like if you extend it

Right Like doesn't that mean If I go thanks With a bunch of S's Doesn't I don't need to put an exclamation mark That would make it fun Yeah like a LOL

Versus LOL Are very different Yes Absolutely But in real life If you add a bunch of S's to thanks, it's like a devil. Well, so I do it, but it's like, yeah.

You're right. Yeah, you're right. Thanks. I feel like, I feel, you're making me feel so young, because I am just so young. Because I take offense to every text I get. Really? I overanalyze texts like no tomorrow.

I will sit and look at something and re-read the conversation and go, what? You're so off the hook. I am a permanent victim. Everyone's talking down to me. No! The worst thing is that I do it. I have my read receipts. Do you guys do that? Is that not a millennial thing? I don't like read receipts.

Sometimes they're accidentally clicked on for me and when I realize someone's been victim of my read receipts, I feel like it's just I don't like see i have mine on i i'm anxious like i always have to reply to people in three seconds and if i don't like call 9-1-1 i'm probably not okay like i reply in seconds you do you always do i know i'm like i'm so but you guys i understand it's part of your job to do that but like i will not be mad if you don't get back to my text in like plus 24 hours like i understand that but like and also you're you're both so nice no one's ever mad at you and if they are no she's not listen people can be mad at brian he he he's a piece of shit he's

he's someone that i could see people like maybe being being like i didn't like your talk like getting into the thing with you both are such fucking people pleasers and in an amazing way but literally I can't imagine anyone ever being mad at either of you who you who you care about being anyone who you're like are they mad at me they aren't I assure you because you both are so nice you and I don't say this for everyone but a hundred percent you even Noah, I would say maybe someone could be bad at her. Like she's, she could be a ball buster sometimes. She speaks her mind. You two are fucking like, just, you're so, and you're just people pleasers, which is

I am one too, to a degree, but not a two and a nine. Yeah. It's interesting. Any gram. Nine out of 10. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, absolutely.

I have a text story with my friend where the whole the whole our whole text thread because we're on a bunch of group chats is us telling no one's mad at us no one's thinking about us we just we just talked about how oh they hate us oh my god i like i just can't even it's so funny because this reminds me of me too Like all the guys that were worried that they had Done something wrong to women were the ones that Like right after me too happened and You're like as a girl Noah You you know this too and maybe you were a little too young

For it when it like broke in 2018 Like every guy in your life Was suddenly like kind of like dude what did I do wrong And each of the guys that worried maybe About doing something there's no chance they Ever did anything. So it's almost a sign that if you are worried people are mad at you. I just want to let besties know, if that's something that plagues you, you're probably a person where no one's ever mad at you.

Except maybe your wife or someone who has a reason, or your dad, your siblings who you might have an attitude with. I remember when Hitler went to his compatriots and was like, do you guys think people are mad at me? Exactly. No, that guy does not worry about anyone, someone like that. Yeah.

And not that we're more like, like I can understand someone thinking, but, and by the way, I'm never going to be mad at you two. No,

I know. I feel like, it's hard for Nikki to get mad at people. In fact, you kind of like when there's like a little bit of tension. I love a debate. I love a like, you kind of like when there's a little bit of tension.

I love a debate. I love a kind of like, that's not what I meant. What did you mean? I feel closer to someone after that, but I understand that it makes people nervous sometimes. It's intense. But please, you two, if I can take anything off your plate, it's that I can promise you for the rest of my life. I can't promise anything for the rest of my life.

I'll probably drink again before I will ever be mad at both of you and i promise i flip this there's just no way i'd ever be mad at you even if you fucked up so badly i would just go they didn't mean to like i just know in my heart that neither of you would ever do anything purposely to hurt me so there's like even if you fuck up just know that i won't be mad at you because it's a fuck up Like just give yourself That Just at least leave I don't ever want to be

A part of your You I don't want to ever Keep you up at night Because you're worried That I might be mad at you Because it is Literally impossible

So I don't think that But you know It's easier said than done Letting that out of your head But okay Final thought Couple more Gen Z terms Okay

What is Delulu? Oh delusional Oh she's so Delulu I heard that on FBoy Island Final thought, couple more Gen Z terms Okay, what is Delulu? Oh, she's so Delulu I heard that on FBoy Island That's fun, Delulu's fun Delulu's fine, Delulu is definitely Not coded enough You know what is a great equivalent to Delulu

Is just saying, wow, this is Oh my god Celsius Ghost Whoa A panel just falls to the wall Oh my god Celsius ghost Whoa A panel just falls It's my former business partner I fucked over That's That is okay

You both are delulule So what was the word I would just say This is so detour On Love Island I love a sidebar You can't just switch topics mid conversation I would just say like, okay, this is like so detour. But on Love Island, the girl. So detour. So detour. I love a sidebar.

Love to say sidebar. Sidebar's good. You can't just switch topics mid-conversation. You always have to say sidebar. But that's another story. Like a legal term. Yeah. But on Love Island, this girl Leah would always be like, that's crazy. And this clip would blow up of her saying that's crazy.

So now everyone will just comment like, that's all caps, crazy. Okay. Well, that just seems. Nope. But it has a new meaning now. It's different. Yes. Crazy now means crazy.

Like, if you say, like, wow, this is crazy. Before it meant mentally ill. And now it just means, like, well, I got to fight back on this one. No, it's not. But it has to be all caps. Yes. So, like, people would be like, wow, this is actually crazy. Like, and I know that this sounds weird, guys.

But I promise it really has a new meaning. No, I know what you mean. What does it mean? Delulu. But we think crazy means something else, too. When we say crazy, we don't mean mentally ill. That's crazy. We mean to say it's wild.

Crazy, wild. I kind of use them all in a bipolar. Right? That's in punctuation. If you add a question mark. I add question marks a lot, but I don't really mean them like when you said that about you're like stunning i'm like wow i look stunning well i use i use question marks because of the people pleasing where i'm like it's a way to make things soft it is it's softening yeah like and you kind

of have that cadence anyway where you go i don't know I'm gonna see a ghost tonight like you do you already it's kind of like in your tone he talks with the question I have a very strange tone yeah you do you do

Anti-Semitic I love heem The band is soic I love H-E-E-M I have no idea what that is H-E-E-M Can you give it in a context? That is how an Israeli man would say hi Is it like supposed to be like a guy like H-E-E-M

like as in refer to a boy Okay well the sample sentence is the new boy is heem! Oh, like, it is him? Oh, it's him. Yep, see, got it. But then now say heem, so you can't figure it out.

Oh, okay. Kind of fits. Next up. Okay. What kind of fits. Next up. Okay. What about KMS? Kill myself. Really? Yeah, I use KMS quite a lot. Is that like an airline?

Wait, KMS is kill myself? I thought we had to say like unalive like wouldn't it be well that's for the algorithm yeah yeah you like don't but I don't I don't really say K

I know what it means but I don't say that okay I would send a skull emoji in the casket well what do you do like if you send like a deadline article

to your friend and go I'm gonna KMS oh yeah see I would send the skull emoji what Sean is saying is that when someone

in the business who we think gets something that doesn't deserve it, we will send the deadline article to our friends and write kill myself. If you if in that same scenario you sent a skull emoji, that to me would mean a positive reaction.

Like I'm dead. Absolutely. I'm dead. No, guys. No. I'm dead in skull means like or like casket or like the tombstone oh see i would have thought that means like i'm dead like this is amazing like kill me i can just be buried depends on the context okay like what if you're like my grandma just died skull emoji yes dark yeah dark person like that i would do like if i posted something wrong let's say right, right? Grandma is coffin. Okay.

KMS. Can I just really quickly ask about your aura ring and like what's You sleep with it? Yeah, like how does it work? Like it's a ring that you wear

that tracks your sidebar. Like data about so, oh, so sidebar, detour. Not detour, sidebar. The Nikkei Glazer podcast is a series of sidebars. It really is. It should be called sidebar. Sidebar with Nik. So sidebar. Not detour, sidebar. The Nikkei Laser podcast is a series of sidebars.

It really is. It should be called Sidebar. Sidebar Nikkei Laser. Wait, that would be phenomenal. It so should be called that. Oh my God. Name change. Okay, sidebar.

Bonus episode sidebar. I really like. Oh yeah, what do you want to know? I just want to know, it doesn't work. And like, what does it tell you? And like, what, why, why should I get one? Okay, here's my sales pitch. So I like it because I'm a very anxious person.

Like I just run very anxious. Like we're, our work and what we do, obviously it's like, it's a stressful thing. Yeah. Especially for me. Like I have to stay, I was at a wedding and I was, she's at the Emmys and I literally, everyone's like, don't be on your phone. I'm like, oh my God. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, like that's just my life. So it tells you like, I'll often feel like really tired or like at 12, I'll be like, oh, like I have a headache. I'm sleepy. And it will tell you like, you had a really unrestful sleep. You were really stressed at the hours of 3 to 6.

So if you have a headache at 12 p.m., this is why. It's not like you're dying and I'm WebMDing like. Oh, so you will go down like you feel tired and be like, am I dying? Am I dying? Your data will confirm you should be tired, girl. You should have a headache. It's like today. Don't work out.

You slept so poorly That it's gonna hurt you More than help you Oh wow You can use that When it gets off a plane So it's like a doctor On your finger

Yeah No it's That would be Sean you need to get one I need this Brian you need to get one We all need these Granted

I don't need more data That's all you want I need Well exactly It tells you your stress It tells you your stress level I need less data Stress engaged Relax, or restored.

Right now, this podcast has been very stressed, apparently. But that makes sense because it's like you're on air. It's a new thing. It's your first podcast. It tells you how stressed you are and your heart rate, your readiness scores. Today, I'm solid for resilience. I could work out. I could take on the world.

Wait, so it tells you you're resilient. It's like, you got this, girl. But when I had COVID, this is how I found out I had COVID. Wait. Because my temperature, it was like your body temperature decrease, your respiratory rate It's a mood ring that works. Yeah, and I got this one because I feel like if you don't look at it quick, you don't know. It looks like I would wear this.

Yeah, it's pretty. But yeah, it is like 500 okay that's the app you pay for each month oh my god coupled with a hatch alarm what's a hatch alarm is that the one that lights up yes oh my god chris has one and it is so good you like obsessed you wake up you don't think you'll wake up from a light and like birds chirping and like gentle music it it really works in this really gentle way and it's not annoying no because it's gradual yeah it's really really good hatch and i fall asleep to the um like it's like a rainstorm you can choose it in 30 minutes it will like gradually red light fall asleep give it like five dollars why is it everything monthly can't you

just buy we live at a perfect society i mean why can't i just buy a thing that does that permanently elevate the app yes heard us talking about hatch can you do the same please i mean this is ridiculous we can't request it hatch no just me then that's i think it's against the law to request okay hatch whatever you do don't send us a free what's it called lifetime membership. It's a plugola. Plugola. There's a law called plugola?

There's a law against doing... They have to buy an ad for us to get a profit from talking about it. We can't be like, we'll do a back deal. I didn't do a back deal with Elevate. I just talked about their app. They gave us... I was a little critical of it

And they said they're fixing the bugs That I suggested they fix And they're giving me, you and Noah A lifetime subscription to Elevate Who needs Aura Ring when you have Elevate? I mean, I don't think they track your heart rate But I don't need them to Because mine's stable

Because I have Elevate And I know I'm going to have a great vocabulary I'm going to have I know I'm going to have a great vocabulary. I'm going to be smart and I'm fighting off dementia. Oh my God. With all the puzzles. Yes, Elevate is great. FRFR skull emoji. Slay. I'm not

Delulu about this one. I really just we'll get into it tomorrow, but I want to draw everyone's attention to a New York Times article that came out today starring our very own Brian Frangie. It is in the New York Times, the New York Times. New York Times style section. I'm trying to find out if it's in print.

I assume it would be. Yeah, I mean, I asked my friends in New York because we have the LA Times here. It's not as easy to get the New York Times as you would think. No, you probably have to go to that newsstand. In Beverly Hills. Yeah. But what is the title of it? I had it pulled up and now it's gone. I'm sorry. I'll find it. Yes. It's Apple

Picking Tips from the Guy Behind Apple Ratings. Yes. Apple Rankings. Well, they said ratings, but it's really Apple Rankings. It says, Brian Frangie. This is the subtitle.

bon appetit article they found me from no not the bon appetit article from just knowing about me on the internet i mean this is huge because i think before your credits were like been in the wall street journal for it which is still a big deal but now in the last month it's been bon appetit and new york time well here's the thing the wall street journal i was just referenced as an expert it wasn't about me it was actually about these special strawberries that cost a thousand dollars and i was just referenced in it um so yeah the wall street journal. But now it's, yeah, Bon Appetit and the New York Times Style section are full profiles. Amazing. And there's

one more thing that could be happening that I can't say because I don't know if it's going to happen. You are going to be on the box of apples to apples. The box of apples to apples is going to have a picture of me giving the thumbs up saying I approve. Very cool. I don't know how it gets bigger than this.

There's one more thing that I view as bigger than everything that has happened so far. Oh my God. But there's a chance it doesn't happen. Okay. Well, this is very exciting. Check out Brian Frangie.
