Coy Jandreau, Aaron Alexander, and John Humphrey team up for a hilarious reaction to the iconic comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994). Directed by Tom Shadyac (Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty), this cult classic features Jim Carrey (Sonic The Hedgehog 3, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber) in one of his most unforgettable roles as Ace Ventura, a quirky private investigator specializing in finding missing animals. The film also stars Courteney Cox (Friends, Scream) as Melissa Robinson, Sean Young (Blade Runner, Stripes) as Lt. Einhorn, and Tone Loc (Heat, Posse) as Emilio. Coy, Aaron, and John react to some of the most famous scenes, including the iconic "Delivery of the Package" opening, Ace’s insane investigation in the dolphin tank, the hilarious tutu-wearing mental hospital scene, and the climactic revelation of Lt. Einhorn’s true identity. Additionally, they explore some of the most memorable movie quotes from Ace Ventura, including: "Do NOT go in there!" "Like a glove!" "Laces out, Dan!" "If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer!" #AceVentura #AceVenturaPetDetective #JimCarrey #AceVenturaReaction #90sComedy #ComedyReaction #CoyJandreau #AaronAlexander #JohnHumphrey #MovieReaction #ReactionVideo #ClassicComedy #PetDetective #MovieQuotes #IconicComedy #reactionvideo #react #reaction #trynottolaugh #trynottolaughchallenge Follow Aaron On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...

Starting point is 00:02:05 I don't know. Thrasher band, a cannibal corpse. Cannibal corpses? Is this a... Was it a spin-off? Was it a knockoff? Or did they... At some point, just cut out a few corpses and simplify the roster?
Starting point is 00:02:22 Tone Loke did a song like the Will Smith era. It's Tone Loke. That dude's voice. So good. Oh, yeah. Oh Don't mind me I'm just going to turn the fan on
Starting point is 00:02:36 So the camera doesn't die Yeah I like it we like it Let's talk about this movie Tone Loke will understand Yeah Nah man You cannot cut off Tone Loke
Starting point is 00:02:49 Great job There's your thumbnail There's your thumbnail right there It should just be all of our butt Yeah I like it We made it. We made it.
Starting point is 00:03:01 We did it. Guys, if you're listening to this on Apple, Spotify, make sure give us five stars for East Ventura Pet Detective. I feel like that was a lot of people's personality in the 90s. 100%. I feel like this is the Anchorman 20 years earlier than Anchorman. True. Or 10 years. I don't remember when Anchorman came out.
Starting point is 00:03:21 But, like, I do know how much cultural is that guys to this change because it's still to this day quoted. Yeah. And in the 90s and in the Anchorman era, It literally, we didn't have the internet. So comedy was just quoting stand-up comedians and anchor man. And he said, like, it was you pick a movie and that's your whole personality. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I mean to interrupt, but like that, that, you doing the voice, it's giving me flashbacks to, like, kids doing the voice.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Oh, yeah. I imagine, I'll throughout my childhood. That was like, the thing, you know, this movie is so culturally impactful. I'm, I'm happy to have finally witnessed it now. Yeah. Because it's so good. It still holds up. We saw a comedy we liked.
Starting point is 00:03:58 We saw a comedy. It's happened before, but it's happened again. It's been redeemed from the last time we saw a comedy that has not probably been released by the time this comes out. I think it's coming out in January. Is it really? I think so. Who knows? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:04:10 Who knows what any of these go out? It's what it deserves to come out. You'll see. You'll say, hit that subscription bell. Find out what movie we're talking about. Ding. Oh, man. Okay, guys.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Who will go first? Johnny Boy, what did you think? What do you think of the movie? Well, Aaron, let me tell you, uh, I had a blast watching this. It is a turn. Sorry, it is a movie for the thing. It's Aces in the House for the name of the song. Sorry to drop.
Starting point is 00:04:34 It is literally a Will Smith where it's made for it. Tone Loke did the Smith first. I'm trying to think of what other movie we've watched here on this channel that had Tone Loke in it. Like, dude had a, he had more of an acting career than I realized. I love him in the, the, the, the, I mentioned it earlier, nature movie. Fern Gully. I love him in Fern Gully. He's the salamander.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Oh, I don't know. The movie that, have you ever seen Fern Gulley? I don't know if I have her, if I just don't remember. People say it's like Avatar. Fern Gully dances with wolves avatar. So if you've seen it, you've seen half of it. Sorry, John, you were saying, I got excited by Tote Loke. Nah, this absolutely lived up to its cultural status as one of the premier, you know, wacky, silly comedies.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And yeah, I mean, what more can you say? Jim Carrey is in rare, I would say rare form, but this is the form that he often would exist in back in the day. Yeah, I mean, this was a totally fun, wild. bonkers just series of bits for Jim Carrey to do his thing on. I thought the supporting cast did a nice job and I like that too. I mean even though it's not
Starting point is 00:05:39 maybe the kind of mystery detective movie that you could decode yourself at the same time, the twists and turns of what the actual circumstances were and all the different places we went to get to the conclusion were pretty fun and funny and like those moments where Ace is doing
Starting point is 00:05:55 some actually decent detective work are like, enjoy and rewarding in the way that you want a detective movie to be. So even though this is like 100% of farcical silly comedy, at the same time, like it had just the right amount of that detective movie juice that I feel like, yeah, it kind of serves the dual purpose.
Starting point is 00:06:16 You know, I wasn't like fretting over the circumstances, but, you know, there's enough to keep everything moving along. They had a fun, colorful cast of characters, and I never would have called that conclusion. I got hiding out as a lady I have to say that
Starting point is 00:06:33 I hate this expression but they really don't make comedies like this anymore Like it's really interesting Like we watched Airplane Which I haven't laughed that hard in a long time This It is interesting to look at What
Starting point is 00:06:46 Humor is when studios are less Less willing to risk Because like the bottom line Is so scary like it is interesting how comedy is so subjective and risk is such a part of comedy and there is less comedy but also there is you know a fear of offending pita and offend like there's such a fear of offense that also ties into risk so i i just wonder is there an era where comedy like this or where comedy to scale comes back because i mean this movie changed movies and like there was a time when i summer would just be one comedy and even this recently is like the old school or you know frat pack not brat pack but the fret pack like that era i think the apatow that came after that was like the last comedy kind of running um a summer feel and and i wonder because watching this it was
Starting point is 00:07:44 just like i remembered tiny pieces like i i really his outfit which also makes me wonder this come out 93 uh by the time we got to to 99 i was obsessed with tyler durden's outfits which are very similar And clearly, I want to wear big floral print shirts. You want to be in the 90s. I just want to live in the 90s. I need to accept. Like, John is close to what I want to live as. Right now, he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Here, you've got a peacock, man. There's got a... Oh, I need it. Destroy this shirt with your bulging muscles. Yes. I'll just go on gingerly. Destroy my favorite floral shirt. I'll put on so gingerly.
Starting point is 00:08:12 But it makes me wonder, like, do we... Do we make small ones that don't have as much risk? Do we, like, get... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's not a bad fit on you. All right. Then.
Starting point is 00:08:24 This smells nice. Colorful boys. Yeah. Oh, good. It smells some nice. A little vanilla in there. Yeah. Just for you.
Starting point is 00:08:31 For you. But do you know what I mean? Like watching this, I remembered more than I thought as far as lines, but I didn't remember the plot. And I remembered, um, like the imagery of, uh, like the car, like stuff that clearly impacted me as a kid. But the comedy wouldn't have been, you know, as I wasn't, oh, Cogent. Uh, so it's interesting now, like, what is the equivalent? Hmm. Well, it's a funny question to entertain because I feel like there's a lot of stuff I see in the comedy realm nowadays where I'm like, no, I think you could in sensibility roughly do most of what they did here now.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I think the thing is you don't have a Jim Carrey type figure and it's so hard to come up with one because he's such a one, he's such a singular person with a singular identity. And the only other comedic actor I can think of who kind of has this whatever. it is, this Ness is kind of Adam Sandler, but even Adam Sandler isn't as, you know, maximum effort as this is. See, that's the name I would go with. To me, it's a path from Chevy Chase into Jim Carrey, into Jason Lee, into Ryan Reynolds. Sure, sure. For sure.
Starting point is 00:09:41 To me, Ryan Reynolds is like, but I mean, if I were to cast, say, a Fletch or a vacation today, it would have been Jason Lee 10 years ago, and it would have been Ryan Reynolds five years ago. so we're due. But there is a trajectory of like, because you don't just make Ace Venture again, you can't. But what is our zeitgeist shifting comedy? Yeah, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Comedy has been in an odd place. Yeah, it has been an odd place. I think this movie is great. You can't joke about anything. I do appreciate that we are reaching that point in time where people are all starting to be like, if you're complaining that, you know, like PC culture is disabling you from doing comedy,
Starting point is 00:10:19 you're probably just not that great at comedy. Because there's a lot of good comedians out there. No one really gets canceled. And if you're complaining about that for your sake of your comedy, maybe you should just do better comedy. To be clear, that wasn't why I'm saying we don't have comics like this. No, we don't, we don't though. And it's an interesting thing to note because, yeah, like Anchorman to me does feel like, and the wave that proceeded that, you know, with like a Talladega Nights and those other, you know, Will Ferrell. Those are all based on like, oh, here's a big broad character.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah. And I feel like we haven't done big broad character and big slap. stick in the mainstream in a little while. Zoolander was 01, but then Zoolander 2 was bad. And, I mean, I love Zoolander, but I was going to say, what is that? Like, we do John Depp tried it with Mordecai, and that didn't work out. Yes, he did. So, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I feel like we need a figure who has just, like, their own comedic lightning bolt, and that person just hasn't either arisen or been foisted yet. And even, like, even Ryan Reynolds, like, animated, though he may be, is not exactly what this type of animation is. I don't associate Ryan Reynolds with big physicality. No, I mean, mine work, I do. Yeah. But not facial.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't like the movie. You're right to mic drop. I'm the contrarian. No, I'm just kidding. I loved it. I thought it was really funny. And, yeah, just kind of build off of what you guys were saying.
Starting point is 00:11:38 It does have an interesting way of not only being funny with its slapstick, but also with its dialogue as well. I'm funny. Like the happy medium between verbal humor and physical humor. And yeah, I think Ryan Reynolds is probably the closest thing we have to do. day to someone who is exploring that clown work. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Clown work. He's doing clown work and Spider-Man, I guess, I think more Andrew Garfield than the other two. Are you dingling my dangle? I'm trying to keep it from jingling throughout the whole of you.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Oh my God, just take it from me, man. He's thrown across the room. A very subtle dindling happening outside. He's just like fingering this bell on here. Now he's now he's ringing it. He's unsuccessfully stopped when.
Starting point is 00:12:17 He's doing it himself. Smack that bell. Well, there it is. That's what we needed. Booty jangle. But, yeah, like, who are our, you know, pucks? Who are our clowns? It's interesting because, like, we have ensemble comedies.
Starting point is 00:12:29 We have different stuff. And, like, people always make fun and my favorite comedies is not being comedies at all. So it's just, I thought that was interesting watching a movie that was so formative to comedy. I'm not going to say they don't exist, but you know where they all are on TikTok, on the internet. And I don't think there's, like, this sort of separation that's starting to be married, but it's also a different sort of medium between people that are more clown-esque on the internet. versus what they are in film and some of that stuff doesn't translate because of its format because it's it's more short form but I do think it can exist because what Ryan Reynolds is in his like early to mid 40s like going on 50s but we don't have anybody in the film world that is of like the early 20s mid 20s 30s era of comedy because I feel like a lot comedic are a lot more um I don't know if cerebral is the word but like there are a lot more um it's more dialogue exactly more dialogue or the combination or the combination or the combination or the combinations. but not in the same way that this was, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:22 We are in that post phase of like, especially the Apatow era was like very banter and very like esoteric verbiage based humor. And it was filmed in ad lib ways edited to feel like a narrative, which I always find fascinating. Like you'd have a gun your guys vamping and then you'd edit it to feel like it was scripted and some was scripted. Like the Apatel stuff is reinvented, but I don't know what's replaced it.
Starting point is 00:13:44 It doesn't, I don't know if anything has yet. And I'm sure the comments right now are like, this guy's the bet. And like, I'm sure there are things I'm not thinking of. And I apologize. But it's an interesting thing to think about with Ace Ventura. You have like ensemble slapstick. At least I'm thinking of like most recently that,
Starting point is 00:13:57 granted, this is also a long time ago, but you guys just recently did Scary Movie 3, and that's like a lot of slapstick. Granted, it's not the greatest story. 20 years ago. Oh, damn it's 20.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah. Because then there was that period of time where we had all the next wave of parody movies. That was a trend for a long time. I think they kind of lost the plot on that because they were trying to go overboard with it. Epic movie and everything else. yeah which we yeah well and those and those movies were so diluted in terms of like half the stuff
Starting point is 00:14:26 they're parroting isn't even the genre that they're named it the movie yeah he aids themselves so yeah quickly we should talk about ace fincher though i apologize for derailing us i'm gonna bring us back ace venture itself i want to read that in the comments yeah i only brought it up because it is so formative to an entire generation and because i can't think of its current iteration but the movie itself i laughed more than i expected i know it's i but that is always kind of intimidating to go into. When something is iconic, it's like oh, if I don't like it, I don't have the right
Starting point is 00:14:56 then you might hate me. In a movie that drops in January, we think, is definitely something I feared in doing reactions because Aaron and I didn't really like that movie. And I think overall, the Ace Ventura energy did inform so many types of comedies thereafter. Like this pure mania,
Starting point is 00:15:12 the energy of it, like I like esoteric burning man, Jim Carrey quite a bit. But I missed him so much that I remember when I saw Sonic, I was like, oh, my youth. And I've loved having Robotnik B 90s, Jim Carrey. But it's interesting, like, what that would do to a man? Like, to be at an 11 for an entire feature film and to have set days like that, like, I, as I age and wither, I'm experiencing, like, I'll do six hours of filming over the course of eight hours.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And I'm high energy. And I'll, like, feel my bones hurt. and I can't imagine I mean he's in his 20s but like I can't imagine the volume of this and I can't imagine doing like I hope the sequel's good
Starting point is 00:15:56 I hope you guys liked this watch along so you you upset in the comments below we watch it but I can't imagine like he did liar liar he did yes man he did like The mask the mask which I hadn't seen since
Starting point is 00:16:05 Bruce Almighty Bruce Almighty like he had so many of these bangers where he's just like so heightened and I just I wonder what that does to a brain a body of mind and like a wonder if now
Starting point is 00:16:15 that like you know that sense of other that fourth wall break reality he lives in, that idea of Jim as a facade. I wonder if that comes from like the breaking of the psyche due to sheer volume of energy of pushing
Starting point is 00:16:29 yourself to such a level that you do separate and you have an existential removal of self because the self is so much. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt this video. There's just something really important that I have to tell you. I just got done getting a pump in. So with that in mind, it's time for Gregory to eat.

Starting point is 00:18:04 And enjoy some seriously good food. Factors got you covered. I think there's an interesting... Sure, he's fine. There is an interesting that you like, thing to note there, though, because you can, I mean, like, when you see where his tradition. has gone and you know just kind of what his personality is like now I feel like that must take a toll on you being somebody who is like so renowned and well known for being silly and bringing laughter to people and distracting people and then taking them away from their problems but then I got to imagine if you do that for long enough in high concentration and then you multiply that by the whole like oh you know success doesn't always equal happiness thing and and you know the fact that your identity for so many people becomes these ridiculous characters it does make me wonder about what you know lurks within because it it is
Starting point is 00:18:49 makes me think of like a Robin Williams, who's another very animated, very physical comedian who we found out, you know, had a lot deeper, darker struggles down the line, you know, despite, you know, being such a joyous figure in culture. And, uh, yeah, it does make you wonder, like, where all that energy came from and, and, yeah, what it does to somebody. And I mean, I'm sure he got time off between these things, but. And you got the money to rest, uh, like you can take care of yourself and you have the money to do that. But I also think of like intelligence as being a sign of,
Starting point is 00:19:19 um pain like i you know ignorance is bliss the opposite is true too and there is so much intelligence required for comedy and like people the idea that uh comedians aren't for example ryan reynolds currently doing his actors and actors being disrespected because of what he did it was comedy acting is so much effort and comedy i would argue is even more effort which is why so many good dramatic performances come out of comedic actors when you let them uh jim carrie like like his dramatic work in the majestic his dramatic work in the Truman show. Robin Williams' dramatic career.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Goodwill hunting. Like there's so much to mine from the talent and you think it's effortless because they make it look that way because that that's the work. So I wonder about with the intelligence required to be this funny and the mania and the world awareness to know how to manipulate you physically, mentally and verbally in order to make yourself so funny to such a wide zeitgeisting form of humanity, what that does to someone who's thinking of all these things and what that does to know humanity so well that you can embody it to scale for us and then when humanity fails you how sad that would be like
Starting point is 00:20:31 the more I deal with the internet the less I see the world is positive and that's like you know this much world and these people travel the world and interact with millions of people and like they're so smart and so capable does it break you yeah I imagine it does I imagine it would because you know what they say about people like comedians are often usually not I'm not going to overgeneralize but have some semblance of depression that they deal with and I feel like he becomes so um inundated with the character caricature or character of Jim Carrey that he became exhausted and broke him and then he went to the darkest depth and he had to find some semblance of new meaning to come out of the other side to be the Jim Carrey that we know him from today and he fascinates me like I love and then this is another tangent we still haven't talked to the movie but I am fascinated by what Jim Carrey is today with his ability to be robotic and also have crazy interviews where it's like that's what he's, you know, he's out painting in his giant warehouse of paint. Have you ever seen his paintings? He's got like 20 foot paintings and he just has this giant like he's just an artist. He just loves to paint now. He just does it man. But I just think about like a performance like this and and what that would have been like experiencing it from the outside, from the inside, from being on set, from like just the output and what that was like for him. Like I would love to talk to Jim Carrey. And like it's a fascinating. after this like what a guy well yeah i think just um just to bring it back to the movie a little bit i think i was interesting seeing him just work with all the animals as well just how they kind of commented on uh the just the nature of him being so comfortable with with all of them and
Starting point is 00:22:04 just the way he moves in animalistic ways throughout the set and like i like us talking about how because he's able to have that accessibility um of his body and the freeness and the wildness of an animal. It only enhances the nature of the film because it seems like something that could on paper could be relatively short kind of how you were adding before, but it's just all these extra things that make the movie what it is.
Starting point is 00:22:28 You can't make this movie without Jim Kerry and be as special and as memorable as it is because he adds those that extra sauce, that little stank to it, you know, to all the dialogue. And even with all the craziness, I will say this was still an interesting
Starting point is 00:22:44 story. You know, I think just watching Jim Carrey do bits for two hours would be interesting, but I was genuinely engaged in the plot and like, okay, like, how did this dolphin go away or get taken? Like, what's the story there? Like, okay, that was an interesting twist. I would have never suspected that. And I feel like even though, you know, by today's standards, it would not be made today in that way.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I still feel like it could be. Like, there's not much in here. I don't think you could do now. I don't think they would do the reveal of that she's amazing. I don't think they would do that. Even that, like, I feel like that would be the trickiest part, but I don't think even that you couldn't do. Given, given the way that that's handled, it's a choice for sure. And obviously, there's a psych gag there.
Starting point is 00:23:30 But there is something about that where I'm like, well, it's just the circumstance of this character, I guess. Like, it's in character. Yeah, because we see. It doesn't feel like it's punching down necessarily on people who have had sex changes so much. It just felt like this character. That's the mystery. I mean, it's a little bit. It's had, like, Jim Carrey, like, kind of washing his body and, like, all the cops throwing up and just...
Starting point is 00:23:49 Well, there's the, yeah, there's the gay panic aspect for sure, which, you know, that, you know, you would take that out at least. But, yeah, the actual story versus the reaction. Like, the story element, I think could work. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I really, really, really, really liked the beats that were dramatic, not even dramatic, but, like, beats of sincerity that still had comedy in it. And they'd change the tone. I think the music really enhanced that, like, the glances from the incredible. attractive Courtney Cox where I was like I'm falling in love for you and then like then
Starting point is 00:24:20 they'd add enough drama and then they'd cut to a really good comedic scene but even in the dramatic scene there'd be still comedy like I liked that it never lost the comedy but it didn't cause that to feel like a one-note movie like it's really impressive tone balancing with the drama and the comedy with moving plot along I was actually invested in his detective work like you've mentioned yeah I'm really curious if the second one's any good there's yeah the other thing I was kind of found interesting is because you and I have watched a lot of Adam Sandlin movies together and usually like the trope of the adam sandler 90s movies the fact that adam sandler no matter how weird or crazy he is he ends up getting the girl whereas in this
Starting point is 00:24:52 and they always like i found troubling to believe but within this movie despite of how weird he is i still believe the fact that he would be able to get cordy cox animal mags sure yeah because he just i don't know something about him that is like i don't know because he he just had that scamp and he's so confident he's very confident extremely confident has that just uh large energy and like a think you know because he's there's like a term called peacocking of like he's just oh he is the yeah he's the peacock he is the peacock yeah I think that shoot there is an attraction or an or an intrigue there so I think I found it to be believable and yeah they had great chemistry as well I think he had great chemistry and I never felt in spite of the fact that how wild he was there
Starting point is 00:25:32 was anything that felt like disconnected because I think making the world make him seem normal when not react the way of normal person would react to him only made this play better yeah well i i feel like the the commitment is good like i feel like you you create the world where yeah like there people just kind of move around him and and kind of just take what he is at face value occasionally people are weirded out or you know dan marino points it out at the end yeah at the very end but but i think that what ties it all together is just like everyone and especially jim carey is so committed and i feel like the key to something like this. It would be really easy to
Starting point is 00:26:13 come in, mug, chew the scenery, and make it annoying. And I'm sure someone's watched this and felt it annoying. But at the same time, I feel like what the true magical juju is, is the fact that he is, again, so committed to the truth of this silly, silly
Starting point is 00:26:29 guy. And that is exemplified in that little moment where he starts to recall his nightmare about, you know, there's a dog chasing me. And it's not like full on drama at that point. But it is like a commitment to the inner life of this character and something that might
Starting point is 00:26:45 actually, deep down underneath all the craziness actually bother this guy, actually give you just a little, just enough of a glimpse into the human inside to then temper all of the mugging and scene shoe. Like this is scene chewing but it almost disappears out the other side and comes back in. Because
Starting point is 00:27:01 it's, yeah, it's so maximal that it just becomes, yeah, this force of nature in a way. It's how I felt about Wicked. I struggle with musicals, but that movie is so big and full of bombast that. I didn't feel odd when people broke into song because I was like, oh, of course they would. Look how big this world is.
Starting point is 00:27:17 And I feel like that with this performance. Like, it's like, of course, that's what you would do in this situation. Yeah. We haven't seen Wicked yet. I didn't spoil. I know. I just said context.
Starting point is 00:27:26 I'm excited though. But yeah, I, hopefully guys, leave a comment because I want to watch two. Absolutely. All I remember from two is a scene of the rhino's butt. Oh. Okay. That's the little tease.
Starting point is 00:27:38 That's all I remember because I remember being traumatized as a kid. Oh, good. Like, I don't know if it's actually traumatic or if I was a child and didn't understand. Like, should we re-traumatized, Koi? Let's see, guys. Comment below. On your giant keyboard, I guess. On your giant keyboard.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Okay, I think we're feeling good, feeling ready. All righty then. That'll be us for us, guys, and that we will see you guys in the next one. Adios, buddy. Later. Really. Lauren Cardinelle. Lorraine, you're like Ralph Lauren.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Ooh, God, are you in a clothes? I like, I'm not, like, yes. The short answer is like, I can go to the mall and have a good time being like, ooh, neat, let me try this on, let me see what I like. But I don't like have a great lexicon for like, it's this designer and it's this season or whatever. Yeah. I like the artistry and the fun of wearing clothes less than like the, you know, economical, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:41 lore of clothes. I, I think I'm, I think I resist that I actually do. Do you? You know? That's cool. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I've always wanted, like, the rich white boy life in Beverly Hills. Sure. You know, like born into wealth. You want to walk into a, why wouldn't you want it? People are like,
Starting point is 00:29:05 who wouldn't want that, but also maintain character, you know? Sure. And morals. and humbleness. Of course you would want both, right? It's kind of hard to have both if you want both. And
Starting point is 00:29:16 like, why wouldn't I want that? So it's like, but I don't really buy clothes that are like nice. The nicest clothes I bought were recent and it is an old Navy. Sure. And that's because they had a big sale going on. I was like, well, someone was in the Texasic, it was freezing in New York. One thing was and the rest were like, ooh,
Starting point is 00:29:33 sale. And they're nicer clones. I just feel good wearing them. But now everyone makes fun of me for wearing a cardigan. He's like, oh, look, Mr. Rogers over here. I love a cardigan. Give me a shawl neck all day. Give me cable knit, baby. Yeah, I got beat up, man.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Give me it in cardinal. That nice shade of red. Well, I see, like, Lauren, like, we're talking about fashion. You see, you could even tell from just this profile picture, right? He's got sunglasses. The wrap-round shades. With the color in them that matches the color of his hat. Dude, coordinated, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:04 See, I'm not a coordinate. Lauren, coordinated. Cardinated. I'm not a coordinated. color-coded guy I did find it a little bit in New York, brown that was a nice
Starting point is 00:30:16 when you came back in that sweater I was like oh snap it was like browny brown clothes sure Lauren though I don't know he just kind of feels
