00:00:31
Speaker
A huge shout out to everyone who's reached out about our last episode and really enjoyed it and thought it was really fun and were very encouraging. I appreciate the kind words and the kind messages was very nice um a lot of people pointed out that the clip we posted made them realize there were visuals sometimes to some of them yeah they were like because you guys were talking like you could see us or people could see you and i'm like that's right we were also we looked so good and the the framing of the shot with the tent in the background it was really good
00:01:04
Speaker
Just got to say that was i was prime prime content right there. um i can't wait for more adventures. I can't wait for more me telling you where I don't want to go and you taking me to that exact spot.
00:01:20
Speaker
ah Kills me. Your reaction to it was even better. Like seeing your reaction to that was even better the second time around. Just seeing that clip again, I was like, that was top tier entertainment for me. Selfishly, I really had a great time.
Humor and Fragrance Observations
00:01:36
Speaker
Also, listeners, it's very important for you to know, Anya came over, went into my room. First thing, what did you say about my room? Okay. So if you go into Dasha's room, it smells as if she has some hot Hollister guy just stuffed away somewhere. Because, yeah, you you smell like the guy I want to fuck.
00:01:57
Speaker
Okay, so what am I It's just my life, man. I walk into your bedroom and I'm like, oh my God. Wow.
00:02:10
Speaker
wow It's a candle. It's a sandalwood tea candle that I think I got at like Walgreens for five bucks. And i didn't want to use my other candle because they, I got it as a gift from Erewhon and it's also a little like more masculine leaning.
00:02:28
Speaker
And I was like, I'll just use this one up cause it like kind of crinkles. And I like the
Social Media Trends Discussion
00:02:32
Speaker
sound of that. Yeah. So I put that up and then I'm like, yeah, it does smell like a straight up dude. It's like being inside of an armpit of someone that wears, um,
00:02:40
Speaker
old spice or something yeah hey you know okay so this does remind me that um on tiktok and in general like have you ever seen someone comment just this raw next question and do you know what and do you know what that like is referencing spell raw for me like r-a-w um
00:03:08
Speaker
Is it referencing fuck me without a condom? Like raw dog me? I think so. Okay. You've never, have you seen this? I have never seen in the wild?
00:03:19
Speaker
As we learned, we are on different sides of social media. The stuff that's being served to you is very different than what I get served. Yeah. You get served like hot men and like plants and I keep getting hoof drainage videos.
00:03:31
Speaker
Oh my God. I don't have anything to do with horses, but my algorithm is like, you love horses. I'm like, I don't. I do see those ones where they're like shoving a fucking straw in like the back of a cow to like release the air pressure. I get those too. looks crazy. I'm like, can you light that on? Isn't that like methane?
00:03:51
Speaker
And can you light that on fire and make like a little grill? Not that. Not grilling the burgers on the burger. Well, fine. Maybe it's like a shish kebab of chicken. I don't know. Whatever. Like think of something. But...
00:04:04
Speaker
Which another sidebar, horrific watching my grandmother feed the chickens like leftover chicken, ah which has happened multiple occasions. And I was reminded by that when I was home.
00:04:18
Speaker
And they like eat it. Yeah. I mean, they don't they don't know. do they not know? I mean, it's not grass. It's not pellet. I mean, they do eat everything. Right. Like yeah they're just looking at it as, oh, there's food like leftovers, you know, and my family will like feed them pretty much any type of leftover that is like going to go bad.
00:04:40
Speaker
And so, yeah, then all of a sudden they're sitting there picking at chicken. Doesn't it get them sick? It doesn't mean themselves? Oh, mean, don't think they they get... I don't think they've gotten sick, but... Well, how do you know that's not what happened to the last chicken? Yeah.
00:04:58
Speaker
Damn. Kind
Cannibalism and Cultural References
00:05:01
Speaker
of weird, though, you know? I have never heard of that, but i know that people usually throw scraps, like, when they um get rid of, like, composting stuff, they throw a lot of stuff to the chickens. Yeah. On the homestead content that I've been watching.
00:05:14
Speaker
Never once have they ever mentioned... leftover chicken being served to chickens. Yikesies, bikesies. Well, and I think about like, does that even happen with like other animals? Like I feel like chickens are like one of the only animals you could probably get away with doing that, you know? no I think honestly, any like carnivore is going to be like meets me.
00:05:37
Speaker
Yeah. I don't like thinking about that. It is kind of crazy though. Cause I'm like, what a human gets sick eating human. Not for the cannibals. people Some people seem to love that.
00:05:51
Speaker
Who are some people? Who are these some people? Cannibal people. Where are these cannibal people? Girl, you know, like Dahmer whatever. Dahmer, you know. Well, they say he might have eaten them. There's no confirmation that he ate them, right? Yeah.
00:06:07
Speaker
I don't know the details of that, but I know all that i mean, anything like that, or like, you know, back in like certain tribes and stuff and like more ancient times, like I feel like they i guess you're right you had human so sacrifices and then would eat.
00:06:21
Speaker
In my head, I'm like, they will get sick. Like you'll get sick eating. Similar, but it's not at all how things work. It's like... but's so Because I'm like, otherwise, why are we just not killing each other and eating each other if that's like... Yeah. Why wouldn't we do that if we're not getting sick?
00:06:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's the only reason we wouldn't do that. Yeah. But like, honestly, like wolves and stuff and like other species and whatever, it's like they're not attacking their own and eating their own.
00:06:48
Speaker
Well, then that also... Like, that's where I'm like, the line is blurred for me because I feel like if... If a wolf or like a bear were to have a standoff with another wolf or bear and they fight each other and like one kills the other one, is that wolf eating the other wolf?
00:07:10
Speaker
Or are they like leaving it there once it's dead? I think they just leave it I think there's like a unspoken rule, like a wolf rule. Yeah. It's like, ugh, leave him.
00:07:21
Speaker
Yeah. Let's go, boys. We're leaving him behind. Yeah. He's dust to us. He's he's ant food now. Not for me. Vultures ascend. Right.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah. I got to look into that because, and yeah, I'm very curious now. That's so weird. Yeah. um Wow. That was like two different digressions. You're like, I went home, my grandmother cannibalized some chicken. I gotta let people know about it.
00:07:46
Speaker
Okay. Also random other question.
Etymology and Slang of 'Jimmy's'
00:07:50
Speaker
Give it to me. Sprinkles. Jimmy's.
00:07:56
Speaker
What's the difference? It's the same thing. One of them is a racist term. Okay. So you're also on the racist bandwagon. Yeah. No, no, I'm against the racist bandwagon. i'm I'm on the sprinkles bandwagon. Yes, he is yes, yeah I don't say Jimmy's.
00:08:11
Speaker
So in further research, huh there wasn't any like major things coming up about it being like a racial...
00:08:22
Speaker
ah not slur, but like a ah racist suggestion. um And they were pointing more towards like kind of very like novelty folklore where that name came from. Like,
00:08:38
Speaker
a guy named Jimmy or this guy named James that worked at like a sprinkle restaurant in like, you know, 1930. I've got so many questions. I've got so many questions. But I also am like that to me is also like a regional thing because Jimmy's was something we also only refer to as like the chocolate sprinkles were Jimmy's and sprinkles as just sprinkles or like your rainbow sprinkle. Mm-hmm.
00:09:08
Speaker
And I also thought that was just like a New England thing. um So you tell me more. what what What info do you have? I don't have any info. I just have questions because I'm following up. This is my follow up.
00:09:20
Speaker
First of all, what website are you going on to look this up? Is it a sprinkles, a place that sells sprinkles? Because then, of course, they would tell you that it's not racial at all. it just a really fun guy named Jimmy who invented these things.
00:09:33
Speaker
Second of all, you're like, it's not regional. I'm like, yeah, you're like, it's regional. like, yeah, the South and the North. I don't know. I don't know if that was a joke. I don't know. I read that it was a racial thing a long time ago.
00:09:45
Speaker
I would look into it because I don't want to speak out of turn, but I did think it was racial. Yeah. and And if it is racial, why? Why?
00:09:57
Speaker
Oh, OK. Well, like what's what's the connection? OK, because in, you know, before the 1700s, before America was um colonized by the Spanish um and they well, actually, after they brought a lot of people that they kidnapped from Africa to the United States and they made them work without paying them and enslaved them.
00:10:20
Speaker
Uh-huh. So that's ah that's where racial stuff comes from. Yeah, okay. And the term Jimmy, why is that racist? oh Oh, yeah, it's a good question. don't know. I'm like, okay, so we're starting back from the very beginning.
00:10:37
Speaker
If I look this up, will you hate me If I look it right now? Look at the freak up. Okay, today, we're instead of looking things up on our breaks, we're going to look it up right yeah freaking now. Yeah.
00:10:49
Speaker
There's any actual evidence that there is any racist origin to the name. People have retroactively suggested that they're first to Jim Crow laws. But again, there's nothing to suggest that that's true. um This is 100% right.
00:11:04
Speaker
I also want to throw a verbal jab at whoever in an attempt to be progressive saw chocolate sprinkles and thought that of black people and said, this is someone else being racist. That said, if it makes people feel uncomfortable.
00:11:15
Speaker
All right. Look, if it's not racial, I still don't want to use it because I think because Jimmy's is another term for condoms, you know? yeah yeah, people call condoms Jimmy's Jimmy. what Yes.
00:11:27
Speaker
Yes. That I know for a fact. They call them jimmies. Yeah. Cause jimmy them your penis. I think. No. Okay. Well let's look that up. That crazy. I, I thought the only like nickname for condoms was like rubbers. And I feel like that was from like the boomer era.
00:11:44
Speaker
It's a slang term. Yeah. you Make sure you take your Jimmy on your date. Yeah. It's a slang for condom. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Okay. Yeah. So i don't want sprinkles to be called Jimmy's cause I don't want to think about condoms when I'm eating ice cream. Yeah, yeah.
00:12:03
Speaker
I went to a really fancy rich person person's home in Files, like in the hills. It's like a mansion. And they have, i don't know, four bathrooms.
00:12:15
Speaker
I went to their guest bathroom. I was like, it smells like heaven. Like, it smells delicious. And I looked everywhere. I couldn't find the source of the smell. So I asked my friend who was house sitting. I'm like, can you find out what these rich people use to make it so you can't smell shit in their home? Yeah.
00:12:33
Speaker
And she sent me a candle that's, like, really, really expensive that I guess they light or something. or But i so I don't think that's what it was because it was there before I got there and there was nothing on the bathroom. Right. sorry I think they have like a incense thing or like a... Right now, I've been like adding to my incense collection and I just use incense most of the time.
00:12:55
Speaker
Or I'm like saging the house. I'm like walking and saging. Do you feel that there's um an energy in this apartment? I've been here for so long. Is there any energy you feel when you come in? Like evil energy?
00:13:06
Speaker
Evil? That you need to sage away. What do you think? I don't know, but did you ever sage this place? No. No way. Really? You sage every place you go to?
00:13:19
Speaker
When you move in. You do? At least when you move in. ah What do you mean at least? This is not a normal thing that every single person does, at least. Well, you're in L.A., and i I bet you any money that at least 30% of L.A. does this. Okay, well, I'm not going to pay somebody to come into my house, shake a little ass, shake a little leaf, and then tell me the ghosts are gone. Okay, well, I'm not saying hire someone to sage your apartment, but you get a smudge, like a stick of sage, and you smudge the house. Like, you go to each corner, you go up and down the the the corner and the walls, and God, cleanse your space.
00:13:57
Speaker
Okay, where were you when I was moving in? Where were you telling me this then? I've never once in my whole life, none of the places I've lived to, I've never smudged a goddamn thing. Wow.
00:14:08
Speaker
And maybe that's why i saw a ghost in my parents' home. Probably because, yeah, they weren't smudging. No, they know because they're Jews. They're like, what are we going to do? We're not going to smudge. The closest thing Jews get to is like for Passover, putting fucking blood, lamb blood on. Oh, yeah. That's what they do. Cleanse the space.
00:14:31
Speaker
Pour lamb blood over your front door. Those with grandmothers who feed chickens, chickens should not cast stones. Okay? ah Yeah, grant granted, my grandmother wouldn't. ah ah She's not, I wouldn't say supportive of smudging. I mean, she's Catholic, so...
00:14:50
Speaker
Oh, and what do you think frankincense in the fucking church is? Well, and then, that yeah. Come on. That's the only time where you're, yeah, you're doing the frankincense. If anything, she's fully into it. She's like, you do it. Smudge away in my house. The Holy Spirit, Lord. Or holy water.
00:15:05
Speaker
When I first saw that shit, I saw a video, because I've never seen it in person, but I saw a video of someone doing that. I'm like, this is the crazy. That thing is swinging. Yeah. The, like, lantern. That's just, like, but the billowing smoke. Yes. I'm like, damn. loved that shit.
00:15:19
Speaker
Cause you love theater. You love, yeah, it is. It's the theater of, of, uh, the church. Yeah. Yeah. My God. I, we had that convo about how much I would perform like church things that my family thought I was going to be a priest.
00:15:35
Speaker
No. Yes. Any of that? It's not ringing a bell. I remember you told me that you love decorating your home for all the holidays Okay, yeah, yeah. But i and I don't remember you saying that you performed so much they thought you were going to be a priest. Oh, yes.
00:15:52
Speaker
Okay. Wow, you went the whole other direction. Oh, yes. Wait, we we should take a break, and then we'll get right into... I'll make it short, but it's going to be good. It's not going to be short. I want to long, bitch.
00:16:04
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:16
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Please tell me what the fuck were you doing as a child that made your family think you were going to be a priest? Well, okay. So, you know, church can be boring for sure.
00:16:30
Speaker
But as a theatrical young child, I was starting to pick up on things that I liked about it. I loved robes. Loved that like everyone dressed up and then processed out in a parade holding different things. I loved the like Trinity of like one altar boy holding the cross and the other one coming in with like a book.
00:16:53
Speaker
And then like the third coming in with like a chalice. Loved that. The presentation, impeccable. But like when they would do the the steps that were like,
00:17:05
Speaker
you know, everyone get involved. Like, we're going to, I don't know, we're going to pull this random thing out of this, like, golden container, and we're going to say something, and then we're going to, like walk up, or, like, yeah, even just walking up to receive the body and blood of Christ, all that.
00:17:24
Speaker
Fun. Cool.
Childhood and Religious Rituals
00:17:26
Speaker
I looked forward to the the the body of Christ. Did I ever tell you how I... took one of the body a Christ and dipped it into a jelly packet I got from a diner.
00:17:38
Speaker
Like, say like the family would like, you know, you, we'd go to the diner before or after church, you know, and they have the little jelly packets. And I was like, Oh my God, I'm going to take one of these so I can put it on my Eucharist.
00:17:53
Speaker
And went up to the priest, took the Eucharist. You know, some people will like open their mouth, which I thought was weird. And let them put it in their mouth. Yeah. Like it's like very like, oh, okay. I'm going to take it right on the tongue. Sure.
00:18:05
Speaker
um i would have him put it in my hand. And then i went and like got my little jelly packet, pulled it out, zipped it open and like dunked, like was like scooping it. Like I was like, like a chip and dip.
00:18:18
Speaker
The body of Christ. With jelly. Damn. um Yeah, i loved it. ah Got in trouble for doing that naturally. Yeah. um Thought I was so clever. But then it got to the point where I was like coming up with my own masses and then would force my grandparents, the same grandparents who I'd be forcing to like decorate the backyard for every holiday.
00:18:41
Speaker
I'd be like, okay, we're going to do mass at like seven. And i would like come up with like certain things I was going to say in like little rituals. And I would have my family come into the living room and I would like perform mass for them essentially.
00:18:56
Speaker
i would get whatever like jacket or long flowy thing I could get and then do the whole bit or whatever. Eucharist would be like crackers, whatever.
00:19:08
Speaker
But yeah, i I was like all about performing a mass. Yeah. But then, yeah, I was like, no, I'm not. I'm not becoming a priest. Your family's like, oh, he's going to be a priest. No, sweetie. He just likes choreo.
00:19:23
Speaker
Yeah. i I love the production value. i i love a robe. Yeah. You know, um i just wanted all the regalia. It's like so funny how much Catholicism and ah like drag have in common and nobody talks about it Nobody talks about it I don't think I've ever been to a church.
00:19:48
Speaker
Like I've been, I've been to it, I think twice once for a wedding, but that was like a Russian Catholic church. So that was like insane. And I just like was just confused.
00:19:58
Speaker
And then I went with my friend one time and I like didn't, she was like, you have to kneel. And I'm like, I'm not kneeling. Like, this is not my religion. i don't have to do any of this. like god so I didn't.
00:20:10
Speaker
And then everybody went up to get commute. I'm like, I'm not fucking doing that. I don't want to eat the body of Christ. Like I felt so sacrilegious being in there. I was like, i don't like this. You were already like cannibalism is a, is a no. What do you mean? We're eating the body of Christ. what do you mean I'm going to eat Jesus. I'm going to get sick. I'm going to get so sick.
00:20:30
Speaker
God, ah god And the wine, is it real wine? It depends on where you go. They give wine to children? Well, that in that two one, you're you're normally not able to take the blood of Christ until you're of age.
00:20:48
Speaker
Which is what? I would notice that. Which is what? What does that mean? You know, like... Thirteen? Thirteen? i'm probably older. Cause like I never, i don't even think I ever sipped it from like the chalice. Like people would, I think you have to be like 21. You have to be like an adult because they know it's freaking wine.
00:21:07
Speaker
Okay, man. I really like, sometimes I, my family never did that. My, my family never together went like, I think maybe like for a, maybe you went to synagogue for like,
00:21:24
Speaker
a bar mitzvah maybe, but my grandma went every single weekend, but I didn't really go. Even when I was in a religious middle school, I never really went like, Only when I was at my friend's house for like the Sabbath and they made us go. And I was always like, oh my God, this is like, I had to pretend like I was so into it and I hated it. Cause I was just like, it's my weekend and I have to schlep to this fucking, I had to walk cause you can't drive there. You have to walk there. oh my God. You can't use electricity.
00:21:53
Speaker
So I'm like on the Sabbath. So I'm like schlepping my way over to this fucking synagogue um in the sun. in the hot, hot sun and have to sit inside and like, it's cool. Then you see like some, you know, kids from school or whatever. That's kind of cool.
00:22:08
Speaker
And then you have to like walk back. I just didn't like that part. What I did love was that the parents all had the food prepared and they all figured out ways how to like circumvent the electricity thing.
00:22:21
Speaker
So they had things set on timers, things like ready to go, all plugged in. It's that was the cool part. Girl, because also I'm realizing, is that why Jewish people are walking all over the place on Saturdays? Yeah, they can't drive.
00:22:37
Speaker
I am gagged. I cannot believe What do you think it was? They just wanted to be out? Out and about? This so ignorant. Say it. Say it. i It just kind of came off like going back to those like very like... um you know, wholesome roots of like, you're with your family, you're like walking, you know, it's a Saturday morning, you're like walking out and getting fresh air and like going to your place of worship more so just because it's like, oh, it's in the neighborhood and like you can walk there.
00:23:09
Speaker
I never connected the dots of like, oh, everyone's fucking walking because no one can drive today. You can't drive, you can't take the bus, you can't like, I don't think you can bike.
00:23:23
Speaker
I don't think you could scooter. I think or you might if the scooter doesn't have it. I don't know. I'm not a fucking rabbi. I don't know. But walking is the the way. and And, you know, you can't watch TV. You can't turn on the AC. You can't turn off the AC. Like you cannot use electricity. You can't use your phone.
00:23:38
Speaker
You can't like it's literally a complete. It is like that in a way of like. yeah Yeah, okay. Which I used to... I really did... that's the i did really love that. I loved that we couldn't watch TV or or like be on your phone. It was like so nice to have that day to just kind of like relax, read a book, talk to people. That's the really nice part of it.
00:24:03
Speaker
But the walking to fucking synagogue and sitting there and like getting up and getting down and crying and not crying, it's just like was... It was just, it's all in Hebrew. I'm just like barely keeping up, you know, and everybody, you know, so hearing that like on a vacation, you're going to fucking mass. Like it's vacation. Yeah.
00:24:26
Speaker
Like I want a vacation. I want to, I want to swim and I want to you know, like eat fruit and like be in a hammock. I don't want to be in a little room being told that I'm going to hell for having all these dirty thoughts about the priest.
00:24:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Darling. There was, I think only ever once was there like a cute priest. Um, cause if you're cute, you're fucking. And if you're fucking, you can't be a priest. It's like, that's the thing. Yeah.
00:24:53
Speaker
Yeah, I said it. Priesthood's for ugly people. Yeah, I said it. Hot take right there. I think all priests are ugly because if you were hot, you wouldn't be a priest. You'd be out there getting some pussy. Imagine. Imagine. that's the yeah that's That's the audio bit that we we're putting online for sure. That is so good. This is not the time for this Jew to get ah ahead of anything with her big ideas.
00:25:19
Speaker
Yeah. um Was there any part of the service that was... fun or interesting or something that was like, okay, like this is interactive. The thing is they separate you. They separate men and women at the service. Yes. The men and women, they sit separately. You can't sit together. So that's part of it.
00:25:40
Speaker
All the, yeah, yeah. And it's like, you know, if you're really old school, the women are fucking in the rafters or whatever. And then all the men are, cause the men are the only ones that are allowed to like,
00:25:50
Speaker
pray and hold the Torah and like do all that cool stuff. So the women are just kind of like there. And I didn't like that. It wasn't a thing for me. I and all the guys got all the best stuff. So they got to sing or they got to get up or they got to read from the Torah like all the boys got to do it.
00:26:05
Speaker
And the boys got to do that thing where they put the little talis on. And my favorite part is because they have those, like, leather, like, strap things that they put on or whatever. I love that. I thought those looked fucking sick. course. Because you know me. So I'm like, oh, my God. And they used to wrap their little arms and whatever. And I was really into that. But, like, girls were not allowed to have that.
00:26:24
Speaker
That's only for boys. So, i like, that's maybe the only part that I really liked. And i I did like the song element of it, like when I didn't know the tune, because I didn't know the words really, but I pretended to know the words.
00:26:38
Speaker
And so, yeah. It never really, yeah. I wish it was more English, I guess. I didn't really connect, but but but I did feel part of a culture. Like that felt good. It felt like I was like part of a people.
00:26:53
Speaker
Yeah. And it was special in that way, but no, nothing. There's there's no like cool... Incense stuff. There's no like theatrics. It's very, it's solemn, but, and the way they sing is very emotional. Like,
00:27:07
Speaker
It's like a lot of like, oh, ah it's not like tune. They like, when they read the Torah, it's there's no tune. It's like they read based on the dots that were written in there. Oh, geez. And you learn that when you, it's like it canter. It's like you learn that when you become a man, bar mitzvah or whatever, they teach you how to read it correctly.
00:27:25
Speaker
And it's like, oh oh oh oh, there's no like, it's not like a song. It's very just like, almost like sound. Yeah. And it's crazy to listen to, but I like that part. it was like, what the fuck is this?
00:27:39
Speaker
It's like jazz prayer. Yeah. this Some scat. Oh, yeah. but god be po pa moses bla jupiy out ah fully yeah i uh i remember like a lot of and you can always tell if someone grew up in like a specific type of like catholic church because the songs were all like they're definitely from like the same song book god is an awesome god he raised up heaven above i don't know how do i know that that's how do i know that that wow how do i know that
00:28:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's awesome. And that wasn't even one that would, I think that one is like a very mainstream song because I don't even think my church would play that one often. I think it's because Danielle sang it so many times to me.
00:28:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:29
Speaker
Which is crazy because she's also Jewish. Yeah, but she went to like a Catholic high school. Ah, she's one of those. she went She went to like a private... And she remembers they had to they made her go to like on Wednesdays to like mass or something yeah in school.
00:28:43
Speaker
And I was like, damn, I would have like... I would have hated that. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even like CCD, like going to you my little like Catholic class once a week.
00:28:55
Speaker
um Especially when it was after church. I'd be like, what the hell? Like, get me out of this. I did not know Jewish people, no idea of that world until going to Emerson.
00:29:08
Speaker
Really? Like in terms of like, oh shit, like, oh, there are a lot of Jewish people in the world. And actually there are a lot of them around here. There's not a lot in the world.
00:29:20
Speaker
Enough where it wasn't like. hot Period. and Enough. There's enough. Enough where I was like, okay, this is like, you know, this is real. This is like a society.
00:29:34
Speaker
ok um Oh, you thought there was like three of them? Like Seth Rogen and then. Yeah. Yeah. Spielberg. Yeah. But you know, like. I like, until I was eight, I mean, I wasn't, I was in Russia. So like my understanding was that there was like two types of people. There was like Russian people and Tatarian people. That's like all I really knew.
00:29:50
Speaker
um So I guess it wasn't that much of a shock when I came to America because I was exposed to like Asian people. So that wasn't really surprising to me.
00:30:02
Speaker
I met like in high school is when I met like, every type of Asian person, including Indian and South Indian and, ah you know, black people, Spanish people, like Puerto Rican people. It was like, that's when I really got exposed, like was in my high school.
00:30:22
Speaker
And remember like, I'm i talking about this. I remember the day I saw the first, my, like the first black person I ever saw.
00:30:34
Speaker
And I was like four in Russia and I saw a person walking down the street and they were black. And i remember I've never seen, it like i man I've never seen a black person before.
00:30:48
Speaker
they they're just none around ever ever ever and i remember going to my mom i'm like what and she's like that's just a black person like chill the fuck out girl like it's just the person they're tan it's fine and i was like oh okay and then i remember the first time i saw my first trans person was like when i was like nine walking down a street in manhattan and i was like mom and she's like it's a trans person just like again chill the fuck out like it's fine like it just was and i just like i can't like do you remember the first time yeah so the first time you met a jewish person was in emerson i would i probably not the first time i met yeah
00:31:27
Speaker
i yeah Like literally started understanding Jewish culture in any regard, like in Emerson from meeting people who were Jewish and being like, oh, okay. Wow.
00:31:42
Speaker
I mean, I didn't know I was Jewish until I came to America. So I spent eight years not knowing. And then I was like, and then suddenly my parents are like, and now you're going to a
Jewish Identity and Cultural Reflection
00:31:52
Speaker
Jewish school. I'm like, why? And they're like, well, oh, how do we say this?
00:31:57
Speaker
You're Jewish. And you're going to go to a school with other Jewish kids. And I went, what the fuck am I? What is this new language? This new, I don't, this was never a part of my life. Like this was just not a part. with that cream They never talked to me about it. It was everything. My mom, I found out later why my mom let me like,
00:32:15
Speaker
Stop me from hanging out with this girl in our building. Like I used to be friends with this girl in our building. And then for some reason, we stopped being friends like my mom wouldn't let me go to her house. And I didn't understand why.
00:32:26
Speaker
And then like later, my mom was like, oh, it's because her father is anti-Semitic. And I went, what? And she goes, yeah, we were like watching a cartoon. You and her were watching a cartoon. And like, I was talking to the dad. And then as the titles, like credits rolled, he went, he like looked, he goes, oh, another one of those. Like, cause one of the writers was Jewish.
00:32:46
Speaker
And had not connected the dots that you guys were Jewish. because my parents, my parents are pretty, my parents are pretty low key about it. Like they really weren't religious. yeah They were afraid. It was like scary to be Jewish, especially after like the war. Right. Um, so they were not like my, my, Yeah.
00:33:02
Speaker
They never went to synagogue. They were not connected to that part of themselves. Let's take a break and we're going to get into our favorite game. Yes or no. Tartarian.
00:33:26
Speaker
It's interesting how Chappell is now all sudden like all about Gaga. You know how the beginning she was like, didn't didn't talk about her at all, didn't really mean, you know, whatever. And then all sudden now she's like, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga.
00:33:39
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah, i wonder why. Like maybe it's because Gaga's super successful right now. Oh, and that maybe she's inspired or has been inspired by her slash influenced by her in her life and upbringing. And something that Gaga has said is like she wants and she likes and has done herself. She's like, I've always like paid homage to people I loved.
00:34:01
Speaker
There's no problem with that. That's like what art is. It's about like references. So if I'm your reference, like that's dope. Yeah. Not afraid to reference, not reference. Yes. um Put it in a blender.
00:34:14
Speaker
on it. Mix it Throw it up. Shit on it. Bus. Another bus. We are about to play. Oh, bitch. Y'all, you've been waiting for it. You said, I'm sick of this religious talk.
00:34:26
Speaker
I want my damn game. I want my game. Give me my game. Put the game on. That poor the poor Portuguese boy and that poor Jew gotta shut the fuck up and do the game before I leave.
00:34:37
Speaker
Before I hit next and go to my next podcast. is about murder. About young women getting murdered. My two favorite loves. Queers and murderers. Um, we are playing the one, the only, Yes or No!
00:34:56
Speaker
let that little and I think that's a guitar lick. Yeah. Oh, okay, yeah. I tried. Guitar lick. With my tongue. Yeah. Damn, okay.
00:35:08
Speaker
Okay. I got one, babe. All right. Opening someone else's fridge when you go to their house. This is a good one. Thank you. Um... If I know them well enough, yes.
00:35:22
Speaker
Okay. Well, and it's weird. Yeah, because it's weird. Because I'm like, well, I know you well enough, but I wouldn't i wouldn't open your fridge. Yeah. by maybe if you lived alone and I like hung out here like more frequently, I would get accustomed to opening your fridge.
00:35:42
Speaker
I think you're right. i think that's like, I hear you. i think it's like, not something that I'm used to doing. Like I'm always like, if it's not my house, someone has to open the fridge or they have to tell me to open the fridge.
00:35:56
Speaker
Then I'll do it. I don't ever reach for it myself. I've had people come and just go into my fridge. Wow. Okay. And to them it's completely normal. And it's like even a sign of like love and respect or whatever.
00:36:11
Speaker
and my head, I'm like, excuse me? You just thought you could just
00:36:19
Speaker
put your little grubby little hands inside my beautiful organized refrigerator. I see. It's not for me. Yeah. Yeah. I can't, I can't, uh, I have to ask permission or someone has to tell me to do it, but I i don't ever open a refrigerator, but just by myself. Yeah.
00:36:35
Speaker
I mean, it is, it, to I definitely was raised like that. It would be disrespectful to open someone's fridge without asking or like to be perusing in someone's fridge.
00:36:46
Speaker
I've had that happen a couple of times and I was like, Am I, did I, is there a misconnect between how I was raised and how everybody else in the world was raised? Like I i was very, I was confused by that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:00
Speaker
Interesting. Yeah. Had to ask. Okay. I got one for you. Okay. The scent of rubbing alcohol. No. Not at all. Not even a little bit.
00:37:12
Speaker
I want to singe my entire like nose cavity? no, no, no, no. no Like isopropyl alcohol? No, I don't like the way you like the way it smells.
00:37:24
Speaker
I, i mean to me, it's like, okay, would I like love it if I'm like, I'm going to bed and my bedsheets smell like ah rubbing alcohol? No. But like, there is something about like cleaning a surface or like cleaning something using like rubbing alcohol.
00:37:42
Speaker
I'm like, wow, this smells so good. And like, I normally don't like sterile scents, but that one has been enjoyable. Yeah. I guess maybe because I associate it with like cuts and scrapes and bruises and stuff. like I don't really bust out rubbing alcohol unless I have to like put my earrings in it or i have a cut.
00:38:02
Speaker
like I really don't use it. yeah So I guess I don't associate it with anything really great. So maybe that's what's adding to me not really liking it. Maybe if I like had a pizza and then smelled some rubbing alcohol and it's made the association that every time I have pizza I smell rubbing alcohol, maybe I'd love it.
00:38:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You never know.
00:38:24
Speaker
That's what the guy that was blowing up the bathroom should have been using. alcohol Yeah. Rubbing alcohol in that place. For him. Yeah. Yes or no.
00:38:34
Speaker
You invite a friend over to watch a movie and they just like are on their phone a bunch during that movie. Ooh, that's a big no. Yeah. Um,
00:38:48
Speaker
as I would say, especially if it was like, I'm inviting you over to watch a movie. We're watching a movie, you know, something we're both supposed to be interested in doing.
00:39:00
Speaker
No. Will I be on my phone if it if it was like, oh, we're hanging out. Maybe you threw on a movie, but it really wasn't in the plans necessarily. But even then i would only be like in and out of, you know, more so like checking, like if I have any messages or,
00:39:17
Speaker
Whatever, like if I space out for a second. But yeah, like I, if we were sitting like to watch a movie and yeah, someone's just on their phone.
00:39:28
Speaker
Hardcore agree. I get anxiety like because sometimes I'll go to a movie theater with someone and they'll just pull out their phone. And I'm like, this is my nightmare. Yeah.
00:39:39
Speaker
Like you're the thing I hate in the theater. And like, I have to be like, what's going on? and they're like, oh, sorry, but you know, whatever. And I have to be like, oh my God. Cause I just, I'm like, I don't know.
00:39:52
Speaker
And like, maybe I'll excuse it if you have like a screen protector that like canceled out light because then it doesn't, but if you don't have that and you're just, and I'm just seeing a light in a dark room.
00:40:06
Speaker
What are you doing? That is so rude. What are you doing? Especially at a movie theater. I thought you were more so just talking about like being, you know, on the couch here at a movie theater is like diabolical. It's like hell.
00:40:22
Speaker
Yeah. Straight down. You go. Yeah. Yeah. That's wild. No stamp of no approval on this one. That, that would, rub me the wrong way way real fast. Cool.
00:40:35
Speaker
Well, that's good. Now we know. Compatible. We can go to the movies and movie. can't go anywhere where there's smells, but we can go to a movie. Yeah, yeah. Well, even the movie, yeah, movie theaters, some of them have like interesting smells. Yes. I'm always about it.
00:40:49
Speaker
I like popcorn smell. um Okay. My next one for you. Body oil, like body lotion, body oil, massage oil.
00:41:00
Speaker
Yes or no? Um, body lotion. Yes.
00:41:08
Speaker
Especially after the shower. It's really nice. And like I moisturize my face every morning and every night. So yes. Oil. Tough for me. Cause I break out and I feel like it messes with my life. And also like if we're talking like suntan body lotion or whatever, that's a no.
00:41:30
Speaker
I'm not equipped to get tan ever so. But I clocked a couple of your little posts and I see your little ass sitting out there in the sun covered in a sheen of beautiful lotion, like getting gorgeous.
00:41:45
Speaker
Okay. I spotted that right away. There was no lotion on me, first of all. No oil, no lotion. You were glistening. I think there was something either with that photo or with the like, I put like, um...
00:42:00
Speaker
a like orange, like yellow, like hue kind of filter to give it, it was more so to give it kind of like a vintage photo vibe. And I think it like even brought out that like glow effect even more because yeah, like someone even wrote a comment being like, Oh, like your titties glow or something. And I was like, what the hell? Um, what the hell? Uh, but yeah,
00:42:23
Speaker
but Yeah, there was, ah i don't, yeah, I don't think I had any lotion on or anything, you know. You look good. Thanks. Yeah, I like that. um I wish I was more into, like, body oils and stuff. Like, I remember my, when my dad, like, started dating my, you know, stepmom.
00:42:44
Speaker
and I would like be at her house, I would notice that she would be like one of the people that like shower and then like cover themselves and like coconut butter or something.
00:42:54
Speaker
Um, and I want to say Trev does that too, to an extent. Um, but I, I think it's either I'm like too lazy or it's like, I don't know if I necessarily like, I don't like love putting it all over my body and then i'm putting clothes over that.
00:43:11
Speaker
Um, You want to hit the problem areas. You want to hit feet. You want to hit knees. You want to hit elbows. And you want to hit hands. And then i wear shorts, so I'll put it on my legs.
00:43:24
Speaker
I'll put it on my arms. And then my face. I do not put it on my body ah other side other than those places I mentioned. Interesting. Because you're really just you really only need them in the creases. Right.
00:43:37
Speaker
Like your your elbows and your hands and your knees, those are the problem areas that like those go dry, they crack and it looks gross. Like ashy knees look bad, like ashy elbows look bad and stuff.
00:43:50
Speaker
So that's like um my only like if you if you like really won't like are concerned about it, those are the areas you should be hitting. But if you don't want to like get it all over your clothes, I don't put it on my body aside from those places. Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:05
Speaker
All right. Yeah. I understand. Yeah. Okay. I got one last one, but I need a a physical thing, a visual thing for that. Oh, shit. Okay. So you you will have to turn around because it's going to be a surprise. Okay.
00:44:17
Speaker
Don't look. I'm staring away.
00:44:24
Speaker
Okay. Do I look? Yeah, I don't have anything. It's going to take too long. um
00:44:32
Speaker
What do you think about Lefoufous? Did you get one? What do you think about Lefoufous? um Yes or no Lefoufou? Lefoufous or Lefoufous? Lefoufous.
00:44:44
Speaker
I don't think I know about... i i we Fake Lefoufous. Okay. You think you're getting a Lefoufou, but you what you really got is Lefoufou. Is a Lefoufou. Yeah. um Listen, i I can't knock it because...
00:44:56
Speaker
If i was a if i was a kid in this this life right now, i would want a La Boo Boo, and I probably could only afford a La Foo Foo. And so months later, I would have gotten a La Foo Foo after the hype is probably already dead.
00:45:14
Speaker
Well, you get your own, very own La Foo Foo. Get the fuck out. Are you serious? Here you go You get out one. oh my God. Girl. Yeah. What? Yeah.
00:45:26
Speaker
It's a Lefoufou. The number of teeth is wrong. The head's fucking weird. Like, it's crazy. Is this But it is. It looks monstrous and I'm obsessed. And I think it's so funny. I was like, oh, the feet are all turned upside down.
00:45:45
Speaker
Um, wait, this is crazy. i have other colors if you want. I have other colors, but I thought you might like this kind of, um, It's like a, see, it's like blue, but. Yes, it's like a, it's like a cloudy cotton candy blue. yeah Girl, I'm so excited. I'm so excited to just be in the universe of, of the, the laws.
00:46:08
Speaker
the law The laws. The laws ooze. Yeah. You can put in an outfit. You buy it outfits and stuff. Yeah. Oh my God. This is so exciting. Yeah. No, I am very excited because no lie. Like.
00:46:19
Speaker
a couple days ago, I kid you not. I was like, do I just get one to get one so I can like feel like a part of this moment in history. And then I was like, i don't know if I can like join those like tick tock drops or like search or frankly spend the money on like, you know, the 24 carat labo boo. Exactly. Um, bullshit. But, um,
00:46:46
Speaker
I, this is, no, this is so exciting. I am putting this, this is going to be like the centerpiece of like the coffee table. Oh, great. I just think they're so funny. And I. Does the box say Le Fou Fou?
00:46:59
Speaker
No, it says it's the box. Everything about this is made. It's like you get a Gucci purse, but it's a Pucci purse. It's like everything is made to basically be the same thing, but there's a couple of differences. so They don't get sued.
00:47:12
Speaker
Ah, yes. Yeah, I see. you know Okay. Which is the teeth and I think the feet and the dimensions of everything on that body is a little off. um Okay. This is my last one.
00:47:23
Speaker
This comes with help from ah Shannon, Money Music. um And it was a good one. ah Self-checkout.
00:47:36
Speaker
Okay. Okay.
00:47:39
Speaker
When there's a long line or whatever, it is a great way to bypass that.
Self-Checkout Technology Concerns
00:47:47
Speaker
In my head, we should just have more people working at the checkout lanes. That's it.
00:47:53
Speaker
That's the solution. Because these little ropes robot machines, they fuck up every single time. You can't weigh a banana without having to call a person over to help you fucking put it inside of a bag.
00:48:04
Speaker
And then if something weighs something different, all sudden you have to halt and in front of everyone. it looks like you're trying to steal a bunch of shit. I truly believe just hire more people to work at your actual registers like a normal person. There's not that many lines.
00:48:17
Speaker
Yeah. That's, that's what the problem is. that It's they're creating congestion and then they're, they're too lazy know and they don't want to pay people. i I'm always shocked when I'm like forced to use self checkout when it's like, Oh, we've gotten rid of all these other lanes like completely. We've replaced them with self checkouts and now it has just become like a self checkout pen.
00:48:45
Speaker
And it's like, Yeah, this used to be someone else's job. Now you've made it the consumer's job. yeah And it's like, I think the only times it bugs me is, okay, I'm buying alcohol, can't do it in the self-checkout.
00:48:58
Speaker
Now they finally started being like, oh, we'll have a person there to like do that one item for you. Right. Or if I have a coupons, like I'll go to CVS and i refuse to do self-checkout because I'm like, last time I did it, it ate my coupons and did not apply it to my total. And yeah by God, I'm not even there to buy that thing without using that coupon. So I'm not getting screwed. Yeah.
00:49:22
Speaker
i it's just ah It's just a way to automate our world, like make it as ah like economically profitable for the corporation while completely fucking over both the customer and the people working.
00:49:38
Speaker
Yeah. I'm not into them. I will say, sometimes i it's less embarrassing for me to use a checkout, the self-checkout,
00:49:51
Speaker
like when I'm using food stamps, it is less embarrassing for me to use a self-checkout. That's the truth. So like in those instances, it feels like less, because like, ah you know, the card is so distinctive. It's like very obvious what it is. And like, it just is like a thing. Like I know it's not something to be embarrassed about, but there is something about that that feels like a little demoralizing and to just do it separately where I could just like do and get out. It's like a little bit less stressful for me.
00:50:25
Speaker
Um, do you have this just because you're mentioning that makes me think of like, have you ever been embarrassed about the stuff you are buying?
00:50:36
Speaker
Oh no. I think it's hilarious. I buy tampons and cat food at the same time and I go figure that out. Yeah. Like I have no problem with that. Yeah, okay. I'm also like, who are you to judge? i'm ki I came to to the store to buy food. Right. The type of food I buy, i don't really care what they think. it I think it's, sometimes it probably is interesting for them to make up a story about the person.
00:50:56
Speaker
Because if, like, you're buying, again, like, cat food and a bunch of condoms, it's kind of hilarious. Yeah, yeah. I remember had to buy condoms at 7-Eleven.
00:51:07
Speaker
And the it was an old man at the register. And, you know... When I was a kid, it would have probably embarrassed me. Like maybe in college, it would have embarrassed me.
00:51:19
Speaker
Like I remember like buying condoms in college and it was embarrassing. I'm a grown ass woman. Yeah. You're going to sell me these condoms because I'm going to have someone fuck me with them later. You know what i mean? Like there is a real power to it and to slide it across and have him be like, you know, like be a little like, um, like embarrassed for himself and like be a little shy and like, uh, like frazzled over it. I'm like, yeah, that's right.
00:51:43
Speaker
I buy condoms. Yeah. Like, it's like, I have sex. It is okay. We all do. It's fine. Yeah. And I, but as a kid, I probably would have been more embarrassed, but like now I'm like, yeah.
00:51:55
Speaker
Wow. All right. Well, yeah. What a great way to, uh, end this. Mm hmm. festive, marvelous occasion. Shout out to all my friends who are currently at Burning Man right now. i miss you. i wish I was with you. 10 year anniversary. um Y'all changed my life forever. And as sad as I am that I'm not there with you in the desert, I'll be thinking about you and how much fun you're having. And we're going to go again sometime in the future. but Thank you for listening. I know specifically some of you listen. I really appreciate it. And it means a lot to me.
00:52:30
Speaker
Now go to bed. Go to bed, you dirty little birds. My friend told me they listened to our last podcast in bed and I was like, it took everything for me not to like make an inappropriate joke. So I'm doing it now.
00:52:43
Speaker
Yeah, you go fuck each other because I know you like it. Go have sex with each other right now. you listen um That's amazing. Well, I've never been to Burning Man, but I'm jealous of everyone who goes every year. And ah hope you all are having the most amazing vibe of your life.
00:53:03
Speaker

00:53:13
