Okay, so I'm waking up, smashing my agey one, right?
Starting point is 00:00:31 And then it is go time, baby, done with groggy afternoons now that it's getting darker earlier, trying to trick my brain into going asleep every five minutes. No, superfoods and B vitamins support steady energy without the crash. And no matter how hard the holiday diet hits, you know, I'm staying as finally tuned as a luxury timepiece, prebiotics, probiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, midbiotics, if it's biotic, I'm taking it. They help support regularity and gut resilience. If you care about wellness and, well, Ness, you should, if your name is Ness, like Elliot Ness. You'll just like, what's that Tupac song?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Never mind. Anyway, you will definitely want to check out AG1.

And I'm Catherine, And we have a new podcast. It's called Don't Listen to Us. Many of you've asked for our advice. Tell me, what is wrong with you people?
Starting point is 00:02:03 Don't listen to us. Our Take It or Leave It Advice show is out every Wednesday, premiering October 15th, a Lemonada Media Original. Freedom! You'd like Freedom Three Why didn't Gmail ever get a song? Who? Why didn't Gmail ever get a song?
Starting point is 00:02:38 As opposed to what did get a song? Yahoo! I was trying to do the music from Raising Arizona. I've never seen that film. Oh, you've got to see it. It's a good one. It's come up a few times for me. I think I'll have to watch it.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I bet you'll like it. You got to see it. But, yeah, it sounds very similar to the Yahoo theme song. And you're right. Why didn't Gmail get a three-th-th-th-th-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-mail. Gmail. Gmail. I remember when Gmail started, it was like, wow, that's so cool.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Really? Well, you know, I had this friend who always knew. You used to have to get an invite. I remember when Facebook messages started and I was like, right. Well, this is exactly it. I had this friend who always knew. Spotify, you had to get an invite too. Oh, you only had a certain amount of invites.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yes. Yes. But he always knew the hip new technology to know about like, oh, you should get on G. Your email should get a vibrator. And then he'd be like, yeah, vibrator turns out with the batteries. HIP new technology. No, and then he got me on Twitter at the same, and four square and all these different websites. Remember when Twitter didn't have an app?
Starting point is 00:03:37 You had to use like a different app to use it. We'd use the browser. Oh, yeah, but then you'd download a different type of app. A different type of app. And then finally Twitter made its own app. Yes, that's right. Yeah. Twitterrific.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Yeah, those were the good old days. The good old days. Back when things were saying. but so so gmail you thought was cool it was okay compared to you know people will still have yahoo and stuff and i just go what are you doing yeah i have friends you are still on a oh i have an a old friend it doesn't have to be gmail i just wonder what do you what's going on in there well what about our good producer matt apadaka yeah what about him he's always telling us to get iOS he's always trying to tell us to get outlook for iOS every email every email get outlook for iOS and he can't
Starting point is 00:04:22 change it, no matter how hard he begs. And quite often you read his replies to, to our emails, and he only says like, yes or something like that. But it, it seems like he's trying to just tell us to get Outlook for iOS. Like, honestly, there was a, like, a couple months of words. Yes, get Outlook for iOS. He wrote, like, there was like a question about, because he said, do you guys like Callagander I invites? And then he wrote, get Outlook for iOS. And I said, I don't want Outlook. I use, and I literally wrote back, I don't like Outlook. I use Gmail. And then he's like, sorry. I was like, I actually. thought you were saying.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah. He tricks me 30% of the time into thinking he's trying to tell me to get Outlook. Yeah. And why is he so obsessed? He always wants to say it. Dude loves it. He likes it more than his own name. Does he get a commission?
Starting point is 00:05:03 I don't know. He likes it more than his own name. That would be so rad to get a commission, like passive income from Outlook for iOS. You know on the deep dive? Oh, please. Go ahead. It is funny that you used to have to get an invitation to Gmail and now you can make 50 email address.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I know, I know. But I find that more computer. Is that, is it a scam or it's, or it's, or it's, Or sham. Yes, thank you. Scam or sham or ham. All right, let's play scam or sham or ham. Scam, or ham.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Okay, ready? Cammer ham. You eat it at Easter. Ham. Scam. Exactly. Scam. Jesus didn't exist.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Ham. I'm still playing. I'm going ham if you say Jesus didn't exist. What were you going to say somebody? I don't know. You were going to say something. Oh, they talk about passive income. They have their Amazon stores that you can have and
Starting point is 00:05:52 I think Kulot made one. Oh, yeah. I thought that seemed kind of fun. But then Jess was saying hers got shut down for lack of purchases being made on it. I was like, that seems unfair. What is the Amazon store? If people... You can set up your own store.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Like I could be like, the Lauren store. And it's like, here's all my favorite items. And then if you buy it through my store, I get some money back. Which seems great to fuck with Amazon. It's like, somebody should make money. That's anything, though. You could like have a website, I think, and have a link. And you tell your fans.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And friends, like, hey, if you're going to buy something through Amazon, go through this link because I get money back from it. Yeah, it has to be like an affiliate link. Yeah. Anyway. I was going to say, is it a scam or a sham or a ham that these invites, are they trying to make it seem exclusive or they just can't handle the web traffic? Or is it like a hand. It's like a new thing. I think it's more like trial.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I think it was trying it out. No, no, but you know what I mean? So it feels elite. So you're like, oh, I want to do it. That's what I'm saying. That's a scam. Oh. Or a sham.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I think it's more of a sham. It's more of a sham. Where they're trying to make it seem elite, but they could handle as many invites as possible. You would think Google could have, would not have had a problem with a bunch of people setting up email addresses at the same time. My favorite thing I've been doing recently is,
Starting point is 00:07:10 hold on a second. Yeah. Truly your favorite thing? Yeah, I love this. Okay. No, I did it to a friend of mine. Better than everything? I love it more than my wife.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Okay. Wow. Okay. You have a daughter. it goes my wife, my daughter. Oh, suddenly this thing is third? No, no, no. And then now I'm miming.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But you did go hands down. Yeah, I went hands down and now I'm going hand up. Okay. So, so Emmy is below Kula. Below Kulab, definitely. Should not be down. She's new. Hey, she's, this is a trial period.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I'm not a trial period. Probationary period. She's in beta. Yeah. Okay. She also is a beta. But, oh, yeah, is my friend asks me, like, oh my god, where did you, how did you find that out? And I just like write back a Google link
Starting point is 00:07:58 like to Google, not to the link of the thing they're trying to hit just like. Your favorite bit is to say I looked at Google.com. Yes. Because like that's so many times when people are asking you a question. It's like something very easily Googlable. But you don't give them the link. Give them just the link to Google. You should move that to number two. I feel like Emmy's better. I think I think Emmy's better than Google.com, and I think Clop's right under it. I was going to say that, but I think that I think Emmy, I agree with Scott, that it's too
Starting point is 00:08:26 soon to tell on Emmy. She might turn out to be a bad seed. That's true. She might be one of those McCulley Culkin. Yeah, she's going to try to push a kid off a tree house or something. Yeah. Yeah. It's so ironic that it's called the good son when he was so bad. I know, but is it about him or is it about Elijah Wood? I think that's what it's. Right? Maybe you think the good son is McCulley Culkin
Starting point is 00:08:49 And then he does bad things And you're like, actually the twist was The title was about Elijah Wood. Oh, so that's the M. Night Chamelon Twist at the end What the title refers to? Yes. So the author comes out? Yes, he comes out in Lord Grantham's tile.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Hello, what you've just seen is a twist. Mr. Grantham. Lord Graham. Mr. Grim. I'm calling back our last episode. To me, Hollywood is the ultimate dream factory. Is that what he said in the new one? That's what Mr. Mosley says.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Oh, I love it. One of the fucking service. He went off to Hollywood at the end of his last film, right? And he's... I think he becomes a screenwriter, yeah. I love it. I love that movie. What is it?
Starting point is 00:09:27 The latest Downin' Happy movie. The new, the most recent down-in-how movie is nuts. Oh, they have movies. The movie of movies now. Six seasons in a movie. Is upstairs good? I was thinking about that. My parents used to watch it when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I watched it as an adult and really enjoyed it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think it would be. be good. It goes through different time periods. I think it's bad that PBS. Oh, look. Exists. Yes. Shut it down. No, no, no. I now with streaming and everything like that, I feel like you never go through PBS anymore when it used to be so reliably wonderful to like as something, you know, to watch as opposed to all. They used to their slogan, reliably wonderful. Yeah. But you know what I mean? Like now why. Reliably wonderful. Why would you happen across? PBS at this point.
Starting point is 00:10:17 You know what I mean? It would take a lot for me to get to that channel. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, even, you know, the classics like Sesame Street are all on HBO Max. We have their app on Apple TV. I know. How often do you watch it? Never.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Exactly. Yeah, you're right. I can see it. But it's hard to find. I can see it. But isn't it wonderful. Very easy to find and skip over. Isn't it incredible that they had a huge hit with,
Starting point is 00:10:38 with Downton Abbey. Yeah. And it was just word of mouth. That was their show. Yeah. Well, I mean, it was, you know. Yeah. Just a word of mouth.
Starting point is 00:10:45 But it was. Because they don't have billboards. Well, they had reviews and shit. It's not every day you see a... But you know what? Why did you ever watch it? Well, because I love manners. Good manners, bad manners.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Exactly. I love to see how they're going to deal with the manners. I never really watched that show. I don't really know. You got to see it because it's got dialogue and action. Well, I did watch the first episode and I think there was a surprise blowjob. that kind of threw me. And I was like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Surprised to who? The audience or the person receiving it? I think everyone involved, including me. What am I doing? How did I get here? This is not my beautiful wife. Yeah. And then I found myself giving a blow job.
Starting point is 00:11:36 What I meant to set up the croquet. If you had to live back then and you couldn't be part of the aristocracy. Yeah. What job would you want to do? Okay, what are my options? Like, if you could be one of the downtown abbey, like, servants.
Starting point is 00:11:54 So it's like, it's like, oh, chauffeur. You want to be, yeah, show for. I'd love to drive one of those cars. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be nice. They don't talk to me. But it would be so bumpy.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah. You went over a bump the other day and you had a bad time. A blew out of a tire. That's right. Are you now reconsidering your choice? That would happen to you all the time. Do you think. But the tires were just.
Starting point is 00:12:15 or pot oh that's right so they're more durable yeah i'm not worried about the bumps now but the roads also were probably in a way better no i think they were worse well they weren't they weren't they weren't like i don't think they had like big potholes you had you had dirt yeah yeah but you had like it was you had major bumps and stuff that got misplaced well you weren't just driving over the country side like they had roads but they're roads just because like people have gone down them so much they're not paved or anything like they're Are they're not medieval times? What year is it?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Like the 30s. No, it was like the 10th. To the 30s, I think. Yeah. Yes, it's recently. So you, but what if you had paved roads in the 1910s? They did in the city. I'm just saying like, if you got from downtown abbey and went to the city, you'd have to go over a lot of bumps.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I don't think so. I just agree. I think it would be bumpy. I don't know why we're having to argue about how bumpy the roads in 1910 were. Well, I know why, because you brought it up. And you disagreed with me When you could have just Paid no mind to it
Starting point is 00:13:18 That's exactly right I think I'd like to be like You could be a scullery made What's that? You could be What is that? She would wash the pots and pans, right? Oh no, I'd like to be the cook
Starting point is 00:13:32 The cook But I don't know how to cook But I assume I'd be good The cook is allowed to be sassy You assume you would be good Well you have the skill In this game that we're playing right now You are good at the thing
Starting point is 00:13:42 No yes No, it's you, it's you having to do it. Oh, then I guess I'd be like the nanny. Like, you know, I could call it. I guess, did they have a dedicated nanny back then? Or did everyone just kind of take turns on it? I can't remember. I, yeah, I don't, because they did eventually have babies there.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yeah, but you never saw like one of the people say, I don't remember. My only job is being a nanny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. They also sort of, but it also made it seem like the servants didn't play that much of a part in a baby's life when, of course, they would. They would have, yeah. remember it seemed like it i do remember one scene where they was just there and they were
Starting point is 00:14:16 the baby they suddenly the baby came in and everyone went oh wow the baby's here and they played with the baby a little and said all right take her away yeah so i don't know that's living my friend when i was little grew up in this house that was like my friend did too okay it's not a brag it was i actually grew up in a very old house that had servants quarters wow and it had a servant's like stairwell that led to a room and then that went to the kitchen. I actually think this stairwell right over here is it was used to be a servant stairwell. Really? Is this a house that old? This is the house from the 1920s. Is it really? I wouldn't guess. So it's very narrow. Yeah. And I think when we were looking at it, the realtor said, oh, and these used to be servants. Our house might have been servants quarters to a bigger house that might have been next door. That was demolished.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah. Oh my God. I love to look at real estate online just for fun. I was actually to it last night, and I was like, this is better than Instagram because it doesn't hurt my feelings. Yeah. You know what? Can I say? I'm glad you didn't say real estate porn. No, I would never say that.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I think when people just put porn on things. I don't like food porn. Nature porn. It's like, no, it's just you can enjoy something. It's not, it's not, it's not actually jerking off. No. Look at that cheeseburger. But I saw some houses.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I have to say sex is like nature's porno. Don't you? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I saw some houses that were shocking. Like, I saw this one house that was very, is a Victorian home. and as you scroll through the pictures it got more and more haunted.
Starting point is 00:15:42 It was just like a terrifying like the wallpaper was creepy and every room was creeper than the last room and it just was like oh this is like and the way they photographed it was so chilling. Yeah. It was just very scary. Honestly, this is why I watched it out in Abbey
Starting point is 00:15:56 and I don't, I would never remember a lot of what was going on because I watched it purely aesthetically. Just to look at the rooms. I love the sets. I love the clothes. I loved all of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And then Janie, we would watch an episode. This is like sex in the city. yeah you look to see the girls walk down the cobblestone street yeah but janey would be like wait why does he was he was mad at him for something i'm like i don't know no idea i don't care i don't know that's great it's brand new to me every time that's fun what what happened to your friend who grew up in the house though nothing but i'm saying i just was remembering she's still okay yeah servant ghost didn't i just remembered that house and being sort of like a like oh it's over it's like the stairs were not used often but it felt a little What did they do with that room?
Starting point is 00:16:42 It was just like a, it just had a bed in it. You know, they did rent out some space to college students from time to time. So I don't know if it was that room or if it was another room that they had. But it was disconnected from like the main house. It was like in the attic. Okay. There was like a room. Fonzie style.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah. Yeah. I was doing some research for a. Did Fonzie live in someone's house? He lived above the Cunningham's garage. Oh, I forgot that he did that. Yeah. He also had a very funny way of.
Starting point is 00:17:08 sitting in chairs. Well, he also always put his thumbs up in the air. He would jump into it, remember? No. Into the, uh, into the, like, recliner of Mr. Seas. He would, like, he would, like, jumping. I remember that. I remember that.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Um, I was doing research for a script years and years ago. Um, and so I got to be taken on all of these open houses for these incredibly huge, rich people houses in Beverly Hills and got to see like, these giant ones with like bowling alleys from the 20s. That's bananas. Oh my God. I would love to. I do have a friend I follow on Instagram who's always at a state sales and like he was at one recently.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Oh, your friend, the ghoul? He was that one recently that was like clearly Who's dead? Who's dead? Someone died recently? Cha-ching. It was clearly like a crew person had passed and all of their belongings were like a lot of interesting props. But they also had
Starting point is 00:18:03 water bottles labeled with celebrities who had drank out of them. And it, like, had, like, Sean Hayes, like a straw sticking out of a Starbucks cup with, like, liquid and, like, different celebrities with a piece of tape with their name. That's gross. Isn't that crazy? The idea of someone's keeping your cup and then, I guess, hoping to sell it for something. With your residue in there? And then I'm like, why are they putting it out?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Of course. And I'm going to spend a cup for you. I don't know who is in charge of the sale, but I'm like, this feels like the trash part. No one wants to buy that. That's bizarre that they would leave it out for the actual open house. who was in charge of the estate just made this shit up. Yeah. They cleared out their car of all the old Starbucks and shit.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah. And they're like, give us your take quick. People are coming over. I know. Have you ever been to estate sales? Like do you ever? I never have been.
Starting point is 00:18:51 No. I can enjoy. They have one for Bob Hope who I used to live down the street. Oh, that's interesting. I mean, with like a celebrity like that. Yes,
Starting point is 00:18:57 my own neighbor. That would be very interesting. And sometimes I would be curious to go to like what you're saying with going to like really rich people's houses and like just being able to see the house and like what, how it's all laid out. But it can be very unsettling, I think, to go and see all of someone's belongings, like, laid out like that. It's just kind of like, oh, this is like what we all become is just like this pile of purses and stuff. But at least we're taken up to heaven.
Starting point is 00:19:18 I'm assuming the rapture. Yeah. So the rapture, you can't, you don't get your clothes. You don't get your wedding ring. Close down earth. Everything stays. Your wedding ring. That's your biggest concern.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Even your wedding ring? Yeah. Your wedding ring just like drops to the floor of the car. I don't wear one. Earring. Earrings fall out? We've talked about this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 All right. Your earrings fall out. Your gold teeth. Your grill. No, your tattoos. Your tattoos are on the ground. Anything metal. Anything you've added.
Starting point is 00:19:49 What's this weird skull with flowers on it? That'd be kind of cool. How great would it be, though, to be the people left behind on Earth? It's got to be so good. Oh, my God. You got so much elbow room at that point. So much real estate pops up. That's cheap.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I almost want to watch those left behind movies. Yeah, I haven't seen those. Just to see what the idea is. I've seen a thief in the night movies. What's that? It's similar. It's based on the rapture. The first one is...
Starting point is 00:20:17 Kirk Cameron? No, these are the 70s. This is not the cross of the switchblade. This is not the cross on the switchblade with Eric Estrada. Never heard of that. He did a Christian movie called The Cross and Switchblade, but back in the 60s. But this is the thief in the night, which is from a Bible verse. And it's basically, the first one's very tidy, which is a woman wakes up and her entire family is gone.
Starting point is 00:20:40 And the rapture's happened. Oops. And she's the one who's never believed in all that stuff. And basically, like, the government starts to oppress people where everyone needs a barcode tattooed on either their forehead or their left hand. I have talked about this. Yeah. Anyway, but then the fifth one is just like zombies chasing her around. Yay.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yay. Oh, that's just fun. Because a nuclear explosion happens or something, so then it just gets to be like zombies. Oh, it's not God's wrath? No, no, no. All right. But anyway. Because when the rapture happens, I don't remember the details.
Starting point is 00:21:18 When the rapture happens, the people left on Earth, it's bad news because then the Antichrist comes. Yeah, then all the plagues start happening with locusts and all that kind of stuff. So you don't want to be around then. Also, the 666 part of it is the bad part because if you get that number, it's just like, dude, you fucked up. What do you mean if you get that number? If you get it tattooed on you, it's like, oh, dude, you fucked up.
Starting point is 00:21:40 You have to go to hell now. Even if you believe in all God and rapture and stuff. Yeah, you can't get that number. You got to escape. What if you got 999, but you didn't count on, you didn't put the line. Yeah. And you were just like, God, this is emergency number in England. 999.
Starting point is 00:21:57 999. 999. 999, what's emergency? No, no, no, no. What's your emergency, love, in it? What's going on, then, love? In it. What's the emergency in it? All right, we have to take a break. Oh, boy, these days, cold mornings, holiday plans, so much going on, right?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Well, this is when I want my wardrobe to be simple. Stuff that looks sharp, feels good, and things that I will actually. wear, not just put in my closet and be aspirational about, oh, that would be nice if I ever actually wore it. No. For me, that stuff comes from quince. And the bonus, quince pieces make great gifts, too. This season's lineup is simple, but smart and easy with quince, $50 Mongolian cashmere sweaters. They feel like an everyday luxury and wool coats that are equal parts, stylish and durable. They're dunna, they're done a, they're done a.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Am I right, folks? They're done a. What I also want to say other than their dunna is their denim nails the fit and everyday comfort all at a fraction of what you would expect to pay.

Starting point is 00:23:32 You know what I got from Quince? You know, I love a blazer. Quince's Cotton Peak Knit Blazer is what I got.

We need them, right?
Starting point is 00:24:24 We need to get in touch with the people we love. to Google what to do about the weird rash that's on our arms, right? Is that relatable to anyone else? To watch endless streams of TikToks as we try to fall asleep. But do we need expensive phone bills? No, no, no, no. At Mint Mobile, their favorite word is no. No contracts.

It's Julia Louis Dreyfus from the Wiser than Me podcast. And I'm not going to talk about food waste this time. I'm going to talk about food resources. All that uneaten food rotting in the landfill, it could be enriching our soil or feeding our chickens.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Because it's still food. And the easiest and frankly, way coolest way to put all its nutrients to work is with the mill food recycler. It looks like an art house garbage can. You can just toss your scraps in it like a garbage can, but it is definitely not a garbage can. I mean, it's true. I'm pretty obsessed with this thing. I even invested in this thing. But I'm not alone. Any mill owner just might corner you at a a party and rhapsodize about how it's completely odorless and it's fully automated and how you can keep filling it for weeks. But the clincher is that you can depend on it for years. Mill is a serious machine. Think about a dishwasher, not a toaster. It's built by hand in North America and it's engineered by the guy who did your iPhone. But you have to kind of live with Mill to understand all the love. That's why they offer a risk-free trial.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Go to mill.com slash wiser for an exclusive offer. We're back. Hi. Hi. Hi. Guys, I'm still, we were talking about houses. I'm still dreaming about the house. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:27:41 Oh, you're dreaming about the house. That I own, that I never go to. Wow. For some reason. And then for some reason, I'm like, oh, well, let's just go here. this place and we go in and it's empty but it's the same house all the time it's in the same place something's going to come of this and it's going to be something you think so sinister oh like in the movie sinister no or you're going to move and it's going to be that house and you're going to be like
Starting point is 00:28:04 whoa on earth yeah i don't like this yeah i think that'd be interesting though i think that'd be really cool but why do i keep dreaming about this one house that's what i'm wondering you need to see a psychic yeah yeah you need to are you psychic at all can i just see you sure well let's I think you're going to, I think, is what I feel and what I see is that you're going to eventually sell this house. Okay. You might not think that right now, but something is going to come in your life that is going to make it very clear that you need to sell this home.
Starting point is 00:28:36 And when you do, you're going to be a bit rushed and you're going to move kind of quickly. And your realtor has, you know, it's going to all fall into place really, really well. And when you move, you will see that the new house has elements from what you're seeing in your dreams. Sorry, I'm getting a call from my other side. psychic. Oh, okay. Hello. Here, Scott. This is Scott, yeah. Yeah, this is me of the psychic, uh, Joe. Oh, hey, yeah. I hear you want to tell me what you think this house is all over.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Yeah. So you're still dreaming of the house, right? Yeah, I'm still dreaming about that. Yeah. Pardon me. This is just going to be once in. Okay. Yeah. So, uh, basically what it means, is you're going to move out of the current house you're in. Yeah. And then, uh, it's going to be a rush. You're going to be, like, oh, no, what, I don't know what this is. I don't know what this is. I don't know what this is. I don't have to sort through his packet and then you get to the new house I'm sorry I have to go I'm sorry I'm just getting a second I just think you should
Starting point is 00:29:28 hang up because I'm going to have to leave I mean or you can keep talking no no I just needed a second opinion on this psychic thing if two psychics think the same thing then it's actually going to happen okay so what I can't Are you still there? Yeah I'm still here yeah okay sorry this this all lines up with the person who gave me the first opinion Oh great he's saying something he says the exact same thing Oh that makes sense because that's exactly what's going to happen
Starting point is 00:29:47 great yeah why don't you get to the new i'm going to end the scene here why don't people get a second opinion from another psychic you know i think a lot of people don't want to break the spell you know what i mean you do it with a doctor that's so the idea is so funny if people truly know what's going to happen two people will know is it because then they would realize there's no such thing as psychics maybe you don't want to ruin it uh oh have you guys seen palty goldman yes no and i need to watches. I don't even know a thing about it, but I keep hearing about it. Absolutely watch. I was reluctant to watch it, but I'm glad I do. I don't know anything, but I have heard it's good. There's a psychic in that. Yes. But no spoiling. No, I won't spoil anything about the psych
Starting point is 00:30:27 essentially. But this all reminded me talking about this, reminded me of that article I sent you guys the other day based on a previous episode, a discussion we had about hypnotism. Yes. Now, teach the controversy. So just to just to back up a little, we were talking about how I tried to get hypnotized in a show when I was young and it didn't work but I pretended and I went along with it and I raised my arms like they were light as a feather and there were balloons on the end of my fingers and it was raised and I didn't get picked for the show and I was secretly glad because I was just faking it and some people have said you know some people have replied oh yes this is what those hypnotism shows are they just find the most extroverted person and everyone is
Starting point is 00:31:10 faking it and that's so weird good theory so accurate this then after we did that episode. I'm the most extroverted person and everyone is faking it. Yeah, everyone's faking it. So just find a person who will like go along with it
Starting point is 00:31:23 and do the acting like a chicken and stuff like that. So I wasn't extroverted enough, I guess. I got to work a little harder. But this article came out called I faked my hypnosis during therapy and then lied about it for years.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I know. This is fascinating. It's a great title. And it's literally this woman, right? It's a woman. No, it's a fellow named Patrick.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I'm sorry. Waiter? I know you would think it would be a woman because lying is something that No, I thought I thought when I stamped it, there was something that made me think it was a woman. Yeah, I thought it was a woman too, but I just looked down and it's this guy, Patrick, Patrick Wakeder. Is he a doctor? He's a BuzzFeed contributor. I'll tell you that much. Thank you for your contribution. One thing that he wrote that I thought was really interesting. I wanted to try with you guys
Starting point is 00:32:09 is that he wrote there's a little test that hypnotists will do to their to see if you can be If you're more likely to be able to be hypnotized. Susceptible. So you roll your eyes back, what is it? Roll your eyes back in your head and close your eyes. Right. And when you do, if your eyes come back, so if I look at you and I'm only seeing your sclera, aka a white part of the eye, well, you got to show me your sclera.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Ew. No one has ever seen my scar. Then that means you're more likely to be hypnotized. But if your eyes kind of come back, you are less susceptible, okay? If your eyes are just in place when you open your eyes. No, like you roll back and. close your eyes and if your eyes don't roll if your iris is
Starting point is 00:32:50 all right let me just do what you ask me to do and you tell me if I do it. Okay roll your eyes back and close your eyes I see I feel like you had a lot of iris oh okay too much iris like let me show you like the Googles and I do what happens
Starting point is 00:33:06 when I do it okay yeah okay no I just see sclera sclera for days oh wait so I'm supposed to keep my mine open like you're supposed to roll back as far as you can and then close your eyes. Okay. Okay. Here I see what you doing it has made me realize what I should be doing.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Okay. Okay. He's about to do it. He's rolling his eyes back. I can't even roll eyes. I know you can't. You can't do it. So you're not, that's why you're not hypnotized.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Let me try it. Okay. What happened? It looks really funny. It's so stupid. What happened? Did I? They went back.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I still saw your iris while you were closing your eyes. But you got pretty far. But some people can't roll their eyes all the way back. But you got pretty, but that means they can't be advertised. Supposedly, according to Patrick Wamooku, who wrote this article. I don't know. Let me talk about this article. Let's talk about this article for a second, because just to summarize it.
Starting point is 00:33:59 By the way, when I saw the I, I think Lauren said there's an eye roll test. And I thought it was like, if the comedians, if the hypnotist tries to hypnotize you and you're like, come on, dude. Yeah. Like, okay, I can't. If he sees Svara after he introduced. Come on, bro. Telltell sign.
Starting point is 00:34:15 yeah so this person this slera this person this person went to a hypnotist because he was having a lot of mental anguish the lingering pain of a divorce a lot of anxiety no i thought he failed one of his own quizzes um and he went to get hypnotized and essentially paid for three you got to pay for three sessions i think in advance and it was a lot of money. And he went to the therapist. That would make me suspicious right away. I know. They say, well, if you're going to do this, you have to do three. Yeah. It's nothing. There's almost nothing you know you're going to want. Like, you know, I feel like a lot of beauty things will have you do that. Like, oh, if you're going to do this, you should do
Starting point is 00:35:02 six sessions and you get this discount and blah, blah, blah. And then it's like, well, if I don't know if I want that. Yes. But I'm missing on a discount because I haven't tried it yet. For me, the issue, and I think, I think the real person who does hypnotism brings this up halfway through is like, this hypnotist was saying, oh, and we'll delve into past lives, which to me is like, oh, you're not a serious person at this point. So, and that's what the, anyway, so, but, but this guy, this guy goes in, he does the first session pretends to be hypnotized. It doesn't work. He's awake the entire time. Says at the end like, oh, that was really good. Yeah. I sure was hypnotized. Yeah. And then the, then the second one, oh, by. By the way, he starts to kind of talk about his feelings first before the hypnotism. And the person's like, not interesting. He goes, no, no, no, no, we'll just hypnotize it. No, no, feelings. Was this a separate person?
Starting point is 00:35:51 No, this is the, or the therapist. The therapist is a separate person from the person being a hypnotist. No. If that's what you're asking. That is not what I'm asking. But thank you. I'm saying, was the therapist, the hypnotist, or was it a separate? It was a, it was a hypnotherapy person, which is not, like, you can't be accredited for it.
Starting point is 00:36:08 So, oh, and forgive me, because I have not read the article because I have not read the article because If somebody sends me a link, it goes right in the trash of my mind. Okay. Wow. We certainly talked about it for a while. Was, uh, what? You pretended to do have read it. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:23 I started writing for BuzzFee. Oh, okay. Did he go to a regular therapist first, or was this his first stop? No, I think, I think he, I think maybe he did. And again, I'm just, you know, I read this a week ago when I sent it to you. But as I recall, he tried a lot of different stuff. and finally settled on hypnotism because there were various people
Starting point is 00:36:44 who had said like, oh, this really works. Right. They were all hypnotists. So he found one who said, oh, you got to come in three times and we'll delve into past lives. First time they just hypnotized and he goes, he goes,
Starting point is 00:36:56 okay, now play this every night as you go to sleep, the tape of it. And then the second time he goes, okay, now we're going to delve into past lives. He still pretends to be hypnotized. And then the hypnotherapist says like, okay now you're in your past life and tell me what your name is it could be anything it could be like a sound even and he just goes like buh and they're all right buh like he can't think of anything he's
Starting point is 00:37:25 on the spot he just goes I'm now speaking to bub so so so he does the whole thing and he's like in his head the whole time and he's on a dirty couch and going why is this couch so dirty I hope some of them, the money I'm giving, like, they clean their couch. And then he squalid comes out of it and goes like, oh, that was really great. Yeah, wow, I was really back there or whatever. And then they call for the third appointment and he goes, nope, I'm cured. So, but here's the weird part. The lying about it for years.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Yeah. He lied about it since then to all of his friends. Like, I did this thing. You got to do it. It really worked for me. That is very, maybe that's what he actually got hypnotized to do. I know. This is really odd about that.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I don't know whether it's like you don't have to tell this story about hypnotism. Is it to seem interesting or is it to seem? But it's like it would be such an interesting story to say I went to a hypnotist and it was all a lie and I was faking it. Yeah. Does he say why he lied about it? No, he just kind of says like, I know if you're my friend and you're reading this article and you thought the hypnotism was. Oh, I would love if my friend posted an article like that. and I found out they've been lying to me that way.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Wouldn't that be hilarious? I had such a dip. That would be wild. If you just saw a bus feed, someone like sends you a link to something your friend said. And you've heard them say many times. Yeah. It's like, oh, by the way, she's never done that kind of medicine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And like, she wrote an article about it. It reminded me of Paul's book about how he quit smoking and how like, what if you were still smoking? Oh, wow. Yeah. And you tell everyone about that book. Yeah. It's just a weird thing to do. It's so strange.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Also, and I had a totally different idea based on the art. the title of the article. Of what the article would be? I thought it was he had a therapist who at some point suggested hypnotherapy and he didn't go under but then he kept continuing to see this therapist for years
Starting point is 00:39:18 and was saying like, yes, so you did hypnotize me and not that he went around telling other people. That's the bizarre part and I don't think he ever explains why he does it.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I do think I could have the follow a particle with this guy. I definitely see lying to the person and saying it worked because I definitely have had situations like that where I find myself in some weird sort of like I got like a free Reiki one time when I was like that was amazing and I'm like I don't know what just happened. The bug man of Cyprus California. I was in that position. Oh yeah I learned I learned all about
Starting point is 00:39:50 these bugs just give me the bugs. Yes the bug man of course the famous bug man of Cyprus California but then had them all ready to go but then telling your friends about it that saying it works and that they should do it yeah yeah yeah but in any case so he wondered can anyone be hypnotized And he went to without lying about it. Yeah. And he went to a person who who actually was like, oh, the first thing is like people talking about past lives. That's like quackery. You know, that's, you know, he goes, but no, I mean, this is how you actually do get hypnotized.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And I talked to some people who have these kind of sessions on tape that they play every night because they have trouble going to sleep. And they go, I have never heard the end of this tape because I'm out. And he goes, and he goes, well, you know, a lot of that is just like, psyching your body into... Do you think it's one of my albums? Oh, no, Paul, it is. I've never heard the end because I am just out. As soon as it turn it on, I'm fast.
Starting point is 00:40:46 But a lot of it is just psyching your body into like a meditative state that is good in order to fall asleep in. Sure. So, but in any case. So I just want to follow up with that about hypnotism. The closest I feel I've allowed myself to get to hypnotism is when I did drunk history was allowing myself to be that vulnerable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Did you feel that way? It was so weird because every time I did it, I never felt, I think I did twice. I shouldn't say every time. I never felt that drunk during it, but I look at it and I'm like, I am. Yeah. And I obviously was. I was drinking more than I ever would drink and I can get drunk off of very little. So it was like, but it's like the situation was so unnatural that like it's like my body was
Starting point is 00:41:31 still kind of going like, you're fine. And it's like, no. And also, that's definitely how I've been talking to someone at a party and think that I'm fine. And I'm like not. It's weird. But you feel like you were more like in a trance or? I blacked out. Oh.
Starting point is 00:41:45 So I had no recollection. Did you have it? Because I think I definitely watched yours. Did you like fall over at some point in your couch and like. No, I did not. I did not fall over. At one point, I did have like a little, apparently a little nap because I think it was after I was done.
Starting point is 00:42:00 And they were like, they left the camera on like, so you see people packing. shit up and everything. I get up equipment and everything. I'm just peacefully. It's actually kind of sweet. But it was, I've only watched it once. I feel like I want to watch it again because it was so shocking to see myself like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:15 But that's why I did it. Yeah. Was I wanted to be like that because I didn't know what was going to happen. Yeah. And I was like, I just want to give myself over to that experience. It was really fun. Yeah. And like I ended up having to do shots when we did it.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I was like he set up a game where we were doing like water or vodka shots. Yeah. Oh yeah. And I ended up getting a podcast so many times. I never do shots. I mean, so it's like, I know that I was, but it's, I think there is that part of your body sometimes when you're drunk that's like telling you everything's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, you're going, you're having great conversations. That's why it's so fun to drive. Oh, driving drunk is not bad. I remember. That show is very safe, by the way, where they take you up and drop you off. They have a nurse. Well, they have a nurse there.
Starting point is 00:42:59 They let, yes, they let you take the wheel if you ask them nicely. Oh, the PA took me. If you drive yourself, you absolutely don't drive yourself on. Yeah, yeah. They gave me pizza. And so the next day, I did not remember the pizza at all. Jeez. No, pizza was the only thing I remembered.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Like, I remember doing it, and then I don't remember anything. You woke up and you're like, I had pizza last night for some reason. And then I remember being at a table eating pizza. I don't know how I got there. And I was saying the next day, I was emailing Jeremy Connor the next day saying, what happened between this and this? Because I remember at some point, I just was gone. And then I remember eating pizza at this table.
Starting point is 00:43:39 And he said, yeah, you were fine and you did this. And you passed out for a little bit. And then we gave you some pizza. And you kept saying that the pizza wasn't good, but it actually was very good. It's funny to be rude, too. But I sort of remembered saying, this piece is terrible. And I kept eating it. Because it was good.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I hate it. Yeah. Wow. That's fun. Well, you know, you can do drunk history when you're not on camera. It's so true. Yeah, just tell Janie an old story. That feeling of that drunk, like not where you black out.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Should we do drunk freedom? Oh, my God. And we just tell the same stories. It would be the worst. If we had like a party and then like we went and recorded a podcast in the middle of it, that would be so cool of us. That would be so cool. Everyone would kick our ass.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I feel like I've only ever seen you drunk once. Really? Yeah. It was at a Christmas party. At Scots. Yeah. I recall that. Oh, I remember this.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Yeah. And you weren't like drunk drunk, but you were just like, oh, she's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I showed up drunk. That was part of it.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Yeah. And you left even drunk. Free drinks. Oh, no. You walked out on the tab. Oh, shit. You owe me $300. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:44:53 That's a lot more than I expected. I was talking with friends about, you know, when you're younger and you're drinking a lot. And that I remember that feeling of like when you get too drunk and you don't want to be drunk anymore. And it's just like, I'm just stuck here. No, that's the worst, especially when you're young and you don't really know the experience. And everyone has to take care of you. I haven't got that drunk. Or they despise you.
Starting point is 00:45:14 That night I think I did throw up. Oh, no. But it's been a few and far between. I've like barely ever had that experience. I remember a New Year's party over at Brian Possein's and Dave Raths where I got so drunk. And then we all walked to Denny's for some reason. Well. And that actually is the next part of the story when you say we got so drunk.
Starting point is 00:45:31 When I say for some reason, I mean, meaning it was too far away. Oh. That's also we did a high school musical and then we walked in a Disney, yeah, oh yeah, or Baker Square. It was too far away, but we decided to walk there and it hit me how drunk I was when I got to the Denny's and I immediately went into the bathroom and just like threw up and wretched and I was like, and I just stayed in the bathroom on the toilet for, and I fell asleep. and like, and then people had to come in and be like, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:46:02 And then like, I know Dave. Everyone's still got pancakes and did the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, he kind of came in. It was like, you're okay. You're okay. You're okay, you're okay, buddy. And like sort of took care of me.
Starting point is 00:46:12 And I remember being at Pat and Oswald's bachelor party. And I took some drug right before it. And I was at his bachelor party and like a big knight came. No, Eddie Pepitone as a knight came in. or something. I can't remember what happened, but I was too fucking high medieval bachelor party. And I, and we were, no, we were at a steak restaurant. Forsooth! That would be one of the most confusing things if you were really fucked up and then that happened.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I was really fucked up and I started getting very paranoid. I was like, felt like I was being judged by everyone there. Horrible. That's the worst kind of high. Horrible. And I remember David Cross was next to me and I was like, oh my God, David's, and I've always felt judged by David Cross in certain ways, right? So, it's not familiar to you, that feeling?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Weird. But, and he's great. You mean Carmel? What? Eminem. I thought he said Ian Carmel. Did you mean Carmel? Yeah, Carmel.
Starting point is 00:47:16 No, David, David's great and very nice, but I, for some reason, I felt like I couldn't tell him, and I remember telling him. He'd be the perfect person to tell. He was, actually, because I told him and I said. I said, I feel really weird. I'm way too high. I don't know what's going on. I don't feel good. I feel really paranoid.
Starting point is 00:47:34 He's like, hey, it's okay. Everyone feels like that. And, like, talk me down. It was just like very appreciative to him. That's sweet. Yeah. I do think you've told us that.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I just have to say that for the record. The first time I'm happy to hear it. But I'm drunk now. Look, I don't remember anything you've said. At the end, it vaguely, I vaguely go. Okay, so I've told this twice then. Will you remember it the next time we play Threatom Trivia? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:54 How does it start? How does it start? Bachelor party, yeah. The first time I did Ecstasy, I remember... Was this last night. I had this bill from 1994, and I've been saving it. Time to drop my bean. Drop my bean.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Is that what it's called? Isn't that what, like, the fit in fish terminology? Okay, I should know this. My brother likes fish. You should know this. Yeah. He's a pescatarian. Drop their bean.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Drop their bean. I was um I was um should I say people's names this so long ago I don't know I guess just don't I was to unless we ask oh no say them all and then we'll bleep them all so we can know it's really it's actually not important to the story okay but I just remember I I we were at a friend's house and we were going to go to another friend's birthday party which was at the HMS bounty what's that oh yeah it was a great bar It's a bar in, like, Korea Town. On Wilshire.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Which is sort of nautically themed, but not that much. It wasn't like a Korean bar. It was, it was in a hotel. Yeah. And it was like, it was nautical themed and sort of English seeming, but it was in the middle of Korea town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so. Like, the brass monkey was also like decorated like a ship.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I guess it was, right? Yeah. Anyway. And so I. Brass monkey. We were all going to do, there was a group of us, like, I think four of us that were going to do ecstasy before we went to this party and so we we we took we took the pill illegal it was illegal back then I'm a narc now you can do it as much as you want illegal illegal you
Starting point is 00:49:41 have been branded illegal illegal you shall be taken away and so we did it at my friend's apartment just in case we ever tell anything incriminating incriminating we have a cop I'm speaking a little button on my arm, illegal. So we all take it, and then I'm sitting there and nothing's happening and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:50:12 I guess it's not, you know, it's not going to happen for me. And then at one point, I said, I feel weird. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:24 my friend, we had one person with us who was not on ecstasy. see. And she said, weird how? And I said, I don't know. Like, I might be sick. And she goes, well, why don't you go into the bathroom and see, see how you feel. And so I went in the bathroom and, like, I put water on my face. And then I looked in the mirror and I saw my pupils were gigantic. And I was like, oh, hi. I'm on drugs. And then did you feel fine after that?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Then I had a great time. Okay, good. I had a great time. You just gave yourself up to the experience. We went, yeah, we went to this, we went to this party. And then when we got to the party, it was like weird for us because we were the only people that were having this one experience. And we were like, we were not the greatest guest at this party because we kept going off by ourselves to like touch stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:25 I love this. Fans of the show basically are listening to two nerds talk about being on. What am I? I mean, you're cooler than us. Yeah. Is that true? I think we're all really cool. And I think our stories are exemplary of that.

Starting point is 00:54:35 And we're back. By the way, one thing I wanted to say is people give us a bad rap for telling the same stories over and over. Yeah. I started the story thinking I'd told it before about the Thief in the Night series. And you guys were like, no, what is that? Oh, of course. So it's half my fault, half of yours.
Starting point is 00:54:54 This is how it is so This is just life. I mean, I think you tell the same stories to your friends. My question is, why do any of you remember these stories we tell? Ooh, good point. Yeah, you should forget too. You should forget everything. Hypnotize yourselves into forgetting everything we talk about on this show.
Starting point is 00:55:12 This is, I'm constantly saying this. Folks, you've got to hypnotize yourself. You have to do it. This is the world we're living in. You have. People tell stories. Okay. But it's also funny that you won't remember a story until there's one crucial detail.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It's like, oh, I have heard this before. I know. All I remembered was the craziest thing. I know. I know. Well, that's kind of what that game was really hard where we had the questions. Because I'm not listening to your stories either. I don't have the context at all.
Starting point is 00:55:37 I don't know who you are. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We're going to play a three-tur. Yeah, I'm trying to think of the rhythm for this three-true because I've done it in improv. Okay. This is called bad rap.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It's submitted by Emma Bradshaw. And we basically are going to, chant bad rap bad rap bad rap and you're saying it's like the bc boys i think yeah i think the chant goes my favorite shirt my favorite shirt is blue and red bad rat bad rap sure let's just do it like that okay no no it's definitely wrong but i think we should just do it like that because i can't really figure out in my head what it is my favorite shirt is blue and red bad rap bad rap and then the next person when i'm tired i go to sleep yes bad rap bad so you say a line that would rhyme yeah And indeed should rhyme.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Should rhyme. But instead, you change the last word. Now, my question is, does the next person... No, I think you start over a new... You start over a new one. Okay, so you don't have to do the... Ryming with sleep would be an extra avid level of... It's a lot.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Yeah, and it also makes it harder if you're... The random word you throw in is really weird. Yeah. Okay. All right, here we go. Bad rap. Bad rap. My favorite...
Starting point is 00:56:42 I almost did the example. I didn't know who was starting. Okay, I'm sorry. I'd point you at the last second. All you're going to start. I'm going to start. Okay. Three, two, three, two.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Bad rap, bad rap. I'm standing at the corner store. Bad rap, bad rap. When I'm hungry, I ask for less. Bad rap, bad rap. Drinking water's what I do all day. Bad rap, bad rap. That's...
Starting point is 00:57:09 Man, when we picked this one, I knew that it was going to be trouble for both of us. Because you want to rhyme. No, because we're just bad at any of this. It's both that I want to rhyme, but I also want to put the word at the end. Right, right, right. Yeah, all right. Let's try it again. Let's go again.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Do you want me to say the same thing? I'm going to start. I'm going to start. Okay. Okay. The rhyme. Three, two, three, three, two, bad rap, bad rap. My favorite thing, too, sings a song.

Starting point is 00:59:42 Because he elongated the actual word. No, but I mean, it's like every, every line... is equally a bad rap because nothing ever rhymes. So it's almost like it doesn't matter what was said before you. It's a really good point. Are we high right now? But it has to matter because it has to be like what you expect the word to be. So I think this is only three of us.

A good way to remember it is like it's there's not the number one at all and there's not number three at all. No. But there is another number nine. So if you've dialed a one or a three or a nine. So here's what you remember four to four to four. Just remember four to four. Okay. So just separate that. Actually just remember the number. And then just remember two five two.
