Bicentennial and Triathlon Episode Discussion
00:00:13
Speaker
And not into the money. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Well, and look at where we're at now. Look at us. The bicentennial. The bicentennial episode. The triathlon episode. The penultimate as, thank God Jordan pointed out, that doesn't mean it's the end of the show. It's just the end of the season.
00:00:31
Speaker
um Yeah. Well. Because nervous for a second. i was like, oh my God, we can't end it. If we ever end this, it has to be like we burn the house to the ground. You know, like it has to be that. That's the only reason this. That's how I feel. Okay, good.
00:00:46
Speaker
We go into the desert. We fucking burn some shit. um Yeah, which also sounds like another episode we should have is recording from the desert.
Recording at Burning Man Idea
00:00:56
Speaker
I think I should take you to Burning Man. We should record an episode of Burning Man.
00:00:59
Speaker
Oh, well, if we if we ever ended both up at Burning Man in the same year, 100 percent. yeah And we would do it even if it just started pouring rain and everything turned to mud and yeah people needed to be evacuated. We would be there. Absolutely. Reporting from the scene. Reporting from the scene. Having people stop by.
00:01:19
Speaker
We'd send it to NPR for like their last month's coverage. Actually, I feel like a lot of people are switching over. Wait, hold on, hold Hey, everybody. Hey. Hey, everybody.

Stock Investments Experiences
00:04:04
Speaker
I was like, hey, let me go check in on this like Robinhood app that I got like deep into COVID. Because at that time I took some money and I invested into stock.
00:04:15
Speaker
I went, I'm going to invest smart into Duolingo. Oh, my God. Yeah. And I did make money off of it. I just didn't look at it for five years. And it turns out I made some money off of it. Not any ah significant amount of money, but some money on it.
00:04:30
Speaker
And I went, great. And this was three weeks ago. I went, oh, I'm going to take some money that I made, like the profit, leave like the rest of it in there that I initially put in. I'll take the profit and invest it into another stock.
00:04:41
Speaker
And do you know which stock that was that I invested which might be the worst one to invest in as of 2025. Oh, God. What? Disney. Yes. Maybe I went, hey, they're a steady company.
00:04:56
Speaker
should invest in them. Yeah. yeah I mean, they are they are normally a steady company. It's understandable. I sold that and I invested in solar energy and I went, all right here you go.
00:05:08

Halloween Decorations Inspiration
00:07:27
Speaker
I realized that we just timestamped this that we're recording on the day of Rosh Hashanah or the day before. And um this is also supposed to be our October spooky Halloween episode. Very spooky times. Well, that's why I decorated.
00:07:44
Speaker
oh Oh, I saw picture your ghost. um What was the inspiration behind this makeup again? The makeup? The makeup on the ghost. um To be quite honest, it just came to me. It was like ah God sent down this image of a French mime ghost.
00:08:02
Speaker
Okay, yes. Clown ghost, I guess. And I really, in my head, I was like, Maurice. It was like a name that just really came up. It truly was like my muse, like something, like some divine inspiration came through.
00:08:15
Speaker
you Okay, yeah. yeah I see that. Our friend Sarah is teaching children in the school that she's working at. And she decided to put on a program where kids make things like that.
00:08:28
Speaker
And she needed somebody to be her, like, Her muse. and Her testing audience. She goes, who has a childlike wonder who I could like invite over who has no life and will do this? And I'm like, I will come over twice and I will make clay ghosts.
00:08:43
Speaker
And she um reacted to me in a very fun way because i I don't realize this, but when I craft, I become an insane person. And I was like, oh my God, this little dot, I'm going to put a dot here.
00:08:56
Speaker
Oh my God. I got, I was acting actually insane. I was like celebrating myself. Yes. You were childlike wonder. personified and she was like if i knew this was how you were gonna be like i would have invited you much sooner because this is very entertaining jumps going through it um because i've never crafted like really in front of other people like that like maybe with you a little bit but not even like yeah like this was yeah she saw some girl we gotta start we gotta start doing crafting while we record please
00:09:30
Speaker
But yeah. Anyway, spooky season. o It's really spooky right now. It's really spooky. um the The carcass of Hollywood gets more hollow by the day.
The Quietness of the Paramount Lot
00:09:46
Speaker
say. Yeah. I was just on the Paramount lot for work and it was like so quiet, you know, and that was such a Yeah, it was not not a great feeling. But also, I mean, it's always kind of quiet, I guess, in the streets. for it But there was like not that many people out and about. And I was like, well, and it's even more quiet because no one wants to say anything.
00:10:06
Speaker
Yeah, nobody wants going to canceled. Yeah. Defunded. my God. um But, you know, something positive, I could tell you.
Success of Independent Cinemas in LA
00:10:15
Speaker
Yeah, tell me. I'm reading articles about how like independent cinemas are actually doing really well right now.
00:10:21
Speaker
Like small chain independent cinemas in Los Angeles specifically, like vidiots, like the eco vidiots, they're like are sold out shows like almost every night and people are going there and their business is doing really well.
00:10:33
Speaker
That's awesome. Yeah. I do, like, anytime I'm driving around, because I'm just so deep in, ah like, LA proper, um I'm spending a lot of my time driving on Fairfax, Melrose, you know, Beverly, whatever. And...
00:10:53
Speaker
I'll be like, wow, it's, you know, 10 o'clock at night. some Sometimes it's like a Tuesday night, a Thursday night, and people are lined up leaving or coming into like one of those small theaters.
00:11:06
Speaker
Yeah. Watching a movie that, you know, I just see on like the marquee every day. Half the time I have no clue what the movie is. but Because it's communal. It's like, it's... Truly beautiful in that way. It's just like, it's like everyone coming together to watch the same thing. I mean, yeah, you could watch at home or whatever, but it's not the same thing. Like if you want to watch something funny, sitting at home and watching a comedy, I've never heard of anything more depressing in my life. Okay.
00:11:29
Speaker
I've never heard of anything more depressing. Like you go to the cinema to laugh with other people and enjoy something like that together. um So I really, so yeah, if if any of you are feeling a little down and out,
00:11:41
Speaker
Just go to like a movie screening at one of these small theaters. Like go see a comedy or like an old movie you really like. You'll really feel a sense of community. I went to go see Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And there was just a bunch of little kids who were seeing it for the first time.
00:11:54
Speaker
And their wonderment at this movie was like, you'd think like because it's... you know, whatever, it's 2025, these kids have grew up on, you know, wild stuff that they've seen, like they wouldn't affect them.
00:12:06
Speaker
No, it did. They were like, oh my God, they they loved it. They were laughing. It was a great, great experience. It made me feel so happy. The little kid next to me was like freaking out and having such a good time. oh Yeah, it was the best.
00:12:18
Speaker
I love that. Yeah. That brings me joy when, and I guess I'm old for saying this, like seeing kids enjoy something that's like from my childhood in one way or another, which is the circle of life because I feel like it's the same shit when we were kids.
00:12:37
Speaker
And, you know, the older generations would be like, check this out. And if we liked it, I feel like, you know, that was also a joy to see. It's I get recommendations from my coworker all the time to watch these old movies and stuff that he's like, you you haven't seen this. You have to watch it. And I watched this movie last night called Zardoc.
00:13:00
Speaker
And it was Zardoz. Zardoz. Sorry. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. This movie, Sean Connery, post James Bond, has a giant braid down to his ass, is wearing...
Watching the 70s Movie Zardoz
00:13:17
Speaker
basically a red thong panty and ah like a crisscross ah MJ kind of belt around his body with bullets in it, also red, in thigh high black boots and a small little gun is like running around in this like sci-fi future thing where he's ah basically like emboldened by a god that's a rock flying in the sky.
00:13:45
Speaker
to murder everybody it was the craziest thing i've ever seen and i was like man thank god he told me to watch that i would have never found this on my own i would have never enjoyed myself as much as i did if he didn't tell me to go watch this movie from like this i think it was the 70s so good um at least that was a positive experience have people told you to watch stuff and you like hated it um well it just reminded me that ah couple weeks ago i watched pink flamingos for the first time what the fuck yeah bit what the actual literal fuck
00:14:24
Speaker
I think like if you're going to start people off on his movies, go for like Serial
John Waters' Films Discussion
00:14:32
Speaker
Killer Mom. Like go for that one. Go for that one. Serial Mom. Which I heard. Yeah. Like that one is a great one to start because it's a little crazy, ah very campy, great performances, but no one's eating shit.
00:14:48
Speaker
Yeah. Or like fucking a chicken while like fucking someone else. Yeah. If you want to watch that, there's a, I think it's called like Sodom or something. It's like a Criterion Collection movie.
00:15:02
Speaker
They do some of that. They eat shit in that. Is that a thing? Sodom and Gomorrah? What's that? That's biblical. and Okay. It's that town that all bad stuff has happened. Okay, yes. yeah Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sodom and Gomorrah Humor
00:15:15
Speaker
uh-huh that's the name that's a full town name what's the name yeah was a town name i'm pretty sure it's the tale of a city that like all this debaucherous stuff was happening and it was like condemned and i think it's the town it's isn't that the babel that story of the tower of babel isn't that from there Like with the burning bush?
00:15:38
Speaker
No, that's Exodus. That's Passover. um Wait, but is it? Is it Sodom and Gomorrah?
00:15:50
Speaker
Like there are two people named Sodom and Gomorrah? Yeah, one of them sodomized people, the other one Gomorrahist people. That's what I'm confused on. i want to I'm going to look it up. I'm going to look it up. Okay, I'm sorry. Can our fact checker that's off to the side, can you look this up and then tell us what it is?
00:16:05
Speaker
I'm just waiting for them to tip it, tip it, tip it. ah Sodom and Gomorrah were two cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. Their story parallels the flood narrative and his theme of God's anger provoked by man's sin.
00:16:17
Speaker
yeah Okay, cool. So two cities. Yeah, and i think that's where the... Isn't that where the Tower of Babel... no, It's the Lot's wife. That shit happened where it's like the he like fucked his daughter or some shit and that's why he got killed and then his wife got turned to salt or something.
00:16:33
Speaker
Somebody got turned to... His kids got turned to salt. I don't fucking... whatever i i kind of want to a like a romeo and juliet story but like from sodom and gomorrah great like juliet's from gomorrah yeah and romeo's from sodom yeah romeo's from brooklyn she's from sodom he's from brooklyn of course yeah yeah yeah the wicked city of brooklyn the wicked city yeah he comes in with his like one of those like um beanie hats that's like rolled up really high and like like a car heart like jacket love that yeah and those like nikes that's cute weird nike 80s kind of looking shoes okay and slacks and slacks yeah
00:17:21
Speaker
And she's just in a toga because, again, she's from. Yeah. Yeah. Completely different and from a different century. So, yeah, there's there's more confusion than love actually in this story.

Speaker
incredible hey have a question yeah
00:20:02
Speaker
How was San Francisco?
Trip to San Francisco
00:20:03
Speaker
I knew that's what you were going to ask me. San Francisco was great. Yeah. um I guess one thing I was wanting to talk about was just how beautiful, like, their parks are. Yeah, gorgeous.
00:20:18
Speaker
They take really good care of their parks. Yeah. And... everything was like really clean and it was like off and on raining the entire time I was there so that like made it all smell really good um I forgot how much it rained and how foggy it is like they have the they named their fog it's like carl or something okay let's rewind it back what Yeah.
00:20:48
Speaker
Carl? Like, I think the name of the fog, correct me if I'm wrong, San fra Francisco Nights or whatever. um they They have their, like, morning, you know, the fog that comes in. I say morning fog and it's there, like, all day.
00:21:03
Speaker
um And I think the name is Carl. I think they named their fog and the fog's name is Carl or something like that. I lost my buddies. I don't remember it having a name, but I remember it was like a real Girl, it has a name.
00:21:15
Speaker
Sorry. I'm sorry about that. but thought it was just fog. It was just a rolling fog. No, because I, and the reason, like, I remember seeing a couple signs. of like Carl the Fog type of thing and then I was talking to somebody who like was like lived there or whatever I'm trying to yeah and they were just like oh yeah like you know they it has a name right like we we call it Carl or something and that was like okay because I have a friend who lives in San Francisco named Carl Okay, so very clean parks and ah fog that potentially is named Carl. Yes. Yeah. um Those were my highlights. I feel like every other time I went to San Fran, I like was partying hard um and remember most of it in the dark.
00:22:02
Speaker
Whereas like, you know what I mean? um Yeah, know what you mean. Yeah. and Oh, yeah. I do look back and I'm like, those were definitely my like, I'm crazy. Like this is my crazy moment.
00:22:16
Speaker
That's how I felt when I lived there too. Yeah. was like, oh, I'm halfway across the country. I can do whatever here. You're fully across the country. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. I think I've been so obsessed with like the desert and SoCal over the last, you know, whatever, 10 years that my body's changing.
00:22:38
Speaker
And I'm not going to apologize for it I'm not going to apologize for it. I'm going into like a ah new ah being of sorts where I'm like, ooh, maybe i I like it a little wetter. Maybe I like it a little more lush.
Beauty and Climate of Oregon
00:22:51
Speaker
do you know how long I've been waiting for you to say this?
00:22:54
Speaker
Do you know how Girl, I'm not about to go to like frozen tundras. i know that's your favorite. well, maybe not frozen, but like a lush green place is like, it's going to get snow. I'm sorry. Yeah.
00:23:05
Speaker
that's why like we oregon is like if it wasn't for like the white supremacy that's like rampant in that fucking state like i would have loved to live there because it's so beautiful and green and i've never been to the pacific northwest like i haven't i've only been you know obviously the east coast and north over there and i really want to go because i think that's like my exact temperature temperament weather ideal yeah okay rainy foggy bottoms Would you ever road trip that far up? Yes.
00:23:33
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. I thought during my fun employment, laid off period where I was depressed as fuck. I was like one of the things I was going to suggest after our camping trip of my like if I wasn't going to go back to my job was one of those longer trips up there because I've never been and I've always wanted to go to Portland.
00:23:50
Speaker
Yeah. Hey, girl, I would be down. I know you're working again. um and I feel like I constantly am like jumping onto gigs and projects as of late.
00:24:02
Speaker
But I do want to like make that a priority within the the year, of the coming year, because i just keep realizing if I don't like make an actual plan, like put it in the books, like it just doesn't end up happening. Yeah.
00:24:19
Speaker
We should look into it, like, um because right now it's going to start getting really cold um there. Yeah, yeah. Could still do it. But if we wanted to plan it for, like, next winter into spring, like, when it's, like, not hot, hot yet, but it's still, like, and see if we could get some campgrounds on our way.
00:24:38
Speaker
ah we could take my shift pod on my car. And when you're saying that, are you think you're saying, like like, this upcoming March, April? Yeah. April May, like that, because it's like, um because it's like from here to there, it's like 18 hours or something, even longer to Seattle. Like I would ultimately I would like to go to Seattle, like all the way up there.
Potential Pacific Northwest Road Trip

00:25:41
Speaker
I was sob crying in my car over dumb shit and you really put in perspective how... it It first wasn't that deep, but without like denying how I was feeling, but you were like, there solutions here and I'm here for you. And that really, really, i mean, i'm I'm truly, I truly mean this. Like it completely shifted things. Like I have cut like people out of my life. i have been extremely like, um,
00:26:09
Speaker
like ruthless with that kind of stuff and I owe it to you I really do well okay well I i love and appreciate that I think everything i said and just like my sentiment towards it it's like I I feel like I am not experiencing your exact situation but I have experienced similar situations in that way for whatever reason and and Girl, i I love you. And like I you have always been someone I've like idolized since I've met you. Like ah to me, you are the cool girl, you know. So it's like when I see you bogged down about not feeling what I look at you feeling like you are.
00:26:53
Speaker
then it like upsets me because I'm like, okay, well, that's not where you should be putting your energy towards. And that's not what should be getting you down because you are all of these things that I look at you for.
00:27:07
Speaker
And ah you're understanding, you're empathetic, but you're also like a badass and like have your opinions and, um you know, will stand your ground.

00:30:59
Speaker
yeah it's like uh what's what's another word for outside exterior no like external external it's an external cd drive that's what it's called okay yes yeah yeah anyway it made me funny that you were talking about disco bingo disco because disco bingo because that's some of the songs i put on there yeah so you're in we ho If you recognize the song that's being played. um Yeah. Then you just like mark that song on your sheet, your bingo sheet.
00:31:30
Speaker
This is Jason Wimberly's like presents like this drag bingo. And ah he'll say the the name of it um at the end of the song. But you have to sit through the whole song.
00:31:42
Speaker
But if someone like know knows the song midway through and that's the last one that they needed to get, then they're, you know, they're winning. Whatever. Anyway, I finally won.
00:31:53
Speaker
ah The winning song was Let's Have a Kiki, which was hilarious. Let's have a Kiki. As soon as the the opening started where it's like, group I was like, ah, oh my God, I won.

Which also I was going to ah mention how ah your favorite Jade had a new album come out. I haven't listened to it yet. Listen to the whole fucking thing. Yeah, I need to deep dive. I almost, I forgot to play it when I was driving here. That was going to be my homework. What you should do is instead of listening to it watch the visual album for it. Because there's a full like hour 30 visual. Oh, that's great. Like music video component of it.
00:32:37
Speaker
and it's like the whole thing and it's really great and it really helps you kind of see what she was going for but i really love that album it's a great album so doing that this afternoon i have to like go home and just like wash a bunch of dishes and like clean them the kitchen i'll just put that on look at that um Do we take a break and get into our favorite game? Let's fucking do it. The penultimate game. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's right. We'll be right back. I'm going to go.
00:33:04
Speaker

00:33:17
Speaker
your bad name. Oh, yes. Easy peasy. Um, okay.
Working on Bad Girls Club
00:33:25
Speaker
i have a, a little story to tell you. Okay. And, um, I don't know if we've ever talked about this. It's so random, but I just had like something, um, remind me, uh, while I was in the bathroom.
00:33:37
Speaker
Interesting. I wonder what this story is about. now You're going to be like, what? um Okay. So, you know how I worked on Bad Girls Club? I do. Okay. It was like the last season and ah they rented out ah like a warehouse downtown and then had decorated it and furnished it and everything.
00:33:55
Speaker
And then at the end of the season, we could like take certain things that we wanted, you know, And I took like some pillows, some blankets, like because they were expensive.
00:34:08
Speaker
Have I have I do you know where this is going? i don't know where it's going, but I remember you telling me about you taking those pillows. OK, well, a little pull of this. OK, so we I grabbed some pillows, some blankets, some other random things because like they were nice stuff.
00:34:24
Speaker
I brought them home and I didn't ah remember. Or i neglected to remember that during shooting, we had like a bed bug scare.
00:34:37
Speaker
And there was like a week where the like warehouse and like the Bad Girls Club stuff got like bed bugs. And so therefore... I got bed bugs and tv my and I had like one of those like cheap Amazon um bed frames that were just like corkboard like kind of like on itself, which ultimately better that I had that.
00:35:05
Speaker
Here's so here's the the quick rundown. Bring this shit home. um Decide, oh, my God, I'm going to like decorate my bed with these two pillows and everything. And I had a foam Amazon mattress and I had the thing.
00:35:21
Speaker
Luckily, because the mattress was like just straight up a foam slab and because the bed frame was just cork board that was like wedged to against each other.
00:35:35
Speaker
i got bed bugs, but I was able to fight and I fought hard. You fought. um terrible anyone who gets bed bugs oh my god what a shit show it is but you know they couldn't they they had like some kind of creases within the cork board and um that was really it because like the the mattress itself you couldn't really get into it was just foam and um The reason why this all came back to me is because um you you guys have some like lemon cleaning product in there or whatever. And it kind of like when you walk in, it kind of smells like it.
00:36:16
Speaker
And it like wafted me because the the like bed bug cleaner that I was using the entire time was like lemon scented. So now I'm like triggered by that like specific cleaning lemon scent.
00:36:28
Speaker
um Because it just brings me back to that like product I had to buy and um and yeah it just like brings me right back to like that whatever amount of time that I had to deal with that I'll tell you this I thought you were like I walked in your room and I thought about bed bugs and I was about to have your ass i was about to have your ass yeah no no no No, you just walked in my toilet, smell a lemon, and we're like, oh, my I oh, my God, I'm being brought back. um
00:37:02
Speaker
But because I was sleeping in the bed, would also go to sleep with, like, lemon fumes, like, around me. My baby, my darling. You know what I mean? You know, because I just basically sprayed down all the, like, wood furnishing of this bed frame.
00:37:18
Speaker
ah and Anyway. You have a second one of my friends now that have experienced bed bugs. I feel for you. Yeah. I mean, granted, that was 2018, 2017. Damn. Yeah.
00:37:31
Speaker
so um yeah Crazy. um But anyway, we're going to play our game. We're back. We're back. We're going play our favorite game. But I don't think you remember the name of it, so I don't know if we have to remind you or something.
00:37:45
Speaker
um The name of our game? Yeah. Do you remember? Because I don't think my god i don't think you remember. Wait. Is it called... Yes or no! I'm still mad about the cute video intro we got while we were camping and I said Dom or Domer and I was like, that's not our fucking name. So piss me off.
00:38:07
Speaker
I'm i'm going to start it off. Start it off, baby. Okay.
Trick-or-Treating Experiences
00:38:13
Speaker
um Since this is also supposed to be a spooky episode, ah the act of trick-or-treating, yes or no?
00:38:22
Speaker
It's a yes. I love trick-or-treating. I never, i i think I've only done it once in my life and I think it was with a friend who was going with her younger sister. But I never did it myself, like as a... As a kid? Yeah, never got to do it.
00:38:37
Speaker
Wow, okay. um Yeah, I was like wondering if you did. And what do you feel about like giving out candy? I love it. I think it's so sweet. I think I've talked about this in a previous episode. Probably last year, maybe. Probably about Zach who like made a whole um like little body that was handing out, can like put a little fake person in a chair with a bowl and then put a whole contraption that when a little kid would reach in he'd press a button and it would like scare him with some air and the kids would like freak out and laugh. And it was so funny. Oh, that's so cute. He absolutely, it was like, listen, like,
00:39:13
Speaker
Is it a complete nightmare for me? and And as an adult, would I absolutely hate someone doing that to me? Yes. As a child, I probably would have liked that. But it was funny. He like recorded It and it was really funny.
00:39:24
Speaker
That is cute. Yeah. It was like reach in and and they're like, oh, my God, bet there's someone in that suit. And it was not someone in the suit. There was just like a leaf blower below that would puff in air. It was really funny.
00:39:36
Speaker
I love that. Yeah, it's great. hope he does it again. I love I i like love um passing out candy, having like a little thing for trick or treaters to like walk through
Pumpkin Smashing Memory
00:39:47
Speaker
or whatever. Growing up, our pumpkins always got like taken from the from the deck of the house and like thrown onto the street.
00:39:55
Speaker
That was like a thing. Right. Because they smash but smashing pumpkins. Right. Isn't that where that's from? I mean, I guess the idea of smashing pumpkins, yes, would be people taking pumpkins. No, band Smashing Pumpkins. Isn't that where they're from? Yeah, from taking pumpkins and smashing them. Yes. Yeah, yeah. yeah Got it. Okay, cool.
00:40:16
Speaker
I got one for you, Halloween. Mm-hmm. Obscure Halloween costumes. When people show up to Halloween parties and they're wearing obscure Halloween costumes. Yeah. I love it.
00:40:27
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I um love it. I literally when I was driving here, i was like, oh, I'm going to tell Dasha I dressed up as like a an off duty soccer player.
Creative Halloween Costumes
00:40:36
Speaker
um And I said, maybe and I recognize it. I'm like the moment you walked in, I went, hello. Yeah.
00:40:40
Speaker
Hello. Brought you by Emirates flights. Yeah. Because when soccer players are off duty, they love to wear their jerseys. They do. They want people to know what team they're on. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's like when you're in army uniform and you're not at war, you're like, I want want you to know I'm a veteran. Absolutely. When I clock out of that Walmart, I still wear my apron. I walk around with it. That's what I do.
00:41:02
Speaker
Yeah. That's who I am. Yeah. Yeah. I also I do like obscure. I like when people explain it to me and stuff. I think it's like they probably hate having to explain it. But I do like knowing that it's like something.
00:41:13
Speaker
Yeah. um OK. So, for instance, when I was at this disco bingo, this girl like sat next to us. And I don't know why we got into the talking about Halloween costumes.
00:41:26
Speaker
But she was like, oh, I want to do the costume of Britney with the two swords, so the two knives and like a little like top and like jean shorts, cut off shorts from TikTok.
00:41:37
Speaker
And I was like, oh, my God, I love that idea. And she was like, oh, I don't know if it's like too obscure slash if it's like too soon to be like jokingly having a Halloween costume like that. And I was like, honey, in West Hollywood.
00:41:51
Speaker
No, like people are going to love that and they're going to celebrate that more than it's going to be like considered like, oh, that's like in poor taste. In my opinion. Why is it in poor taste? She did it. Right. I think it's just because it can be read as like mocking someone who is clearly, you know, off their rocker a little bit. We could say that about any costume, you know.
00:42:12
Speaker
Right. Right. Any kind of costume. You know I think she should she should do it. I think it's pretty funny. And that video was fucking hilarious. So I enjoyed it. Right. Yeah. That's how I feel.
00:42:24
Speaker
What's, um do you have some of your like favorite obscure Halloween costumes that you've seen in life? Well, know the one I did was my favorite, which was I was Miss Bellum from Pop of Girls.
00:42:36
Speaker
Okay. and And you consider that obscure? Yeah, because it's not the main character. It's also from a cartoon from my childhood. Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. And it's like the people that recognize it recognized it. And that was really cool. And I like that it was like I covered my whole face with a wig. and Yeah. And that me really happy. Yeah.
00:42:55
Speaker
But it got so itchy. And I kept having to move my bangs to see where I was going. Right. because I couldn't fucking see where I was going, but I looked hot. Yeah, that was a badass costume that I think just because that costume idea in general is such a good idea.
00:43:11
Speaker
um it like takes it up for me as like, oh, yeah. Anyone who wears that, you should know who that is. It's like ah hot and obscure is like a really good zone to be in as a girl for Halloween. It's like be sexy, but kind of weird.
00:43:26
Speaker
I think that's like a good that's one of my favorites. I've never hit that again or since or will probably, but I really enjoy that. I would want to be like him, but I don't want to wear a bodysuit.
00:43:38
Speaker
Yeah. Also, what is it with the Powerpuff Girls? Because it's like a cartoon. Yeah, but... is gay as fuck. There's so... I think there's so many options. I think if we sat for a second and wanted to find something that was at the same tier as Miss Bellum, I think we could.
00:43:54
Speaker
She go from... It's all cartoons. I'm sorry. We can't keep doing cartoons. No, I mean, cartoons are fine. That's like a great place to be in, but it doesn't have to all be from Powerpuff Girls. Mojo Jojo. Yeah. Doug Dibidome from the...
00:44:09
Speaker
that's like that's the thing that's like um yeah like in spongebob like there are some good uh characters from that i just don't have an all-white suit i would do doug dimidome if i but i'm too tall you got to be small for that you know um if i was like five feet tall and a woman i would be doug dimidome and i wear a giant hat Yeah.
00:44:35
Speaker
I was watching um ah like a ballroom competition where someone came out as um Johnny Bravo, which I was like, and it's like so yeah immediate, you know, like all it is is a black t-shirt yeah with sunglasses and the yellow Elvis hair.
00:44:53
Speaker
Yeah, perfect. So good. Love it. I'm ready. Okay.
Tipping Etiquette Debate
00:45:00
Speaker
Tipping at an order stand.
00:45:04
Speaker
Oh, man, you really you come with a hard hitting question. I know. Well, you did a good one last last season, last month. So i had to start thinking in your brain. Oh, I feel bad for you. You never want to do that. I'm trapped. Help me. Get me out. Get me out.
00:45:20
Speaker
um You know what? here's Here's how it goes. If it's at a stand where they bring you the food to your table and then ask you for your water or whatever the fuck, anything else you might need, if there's like a person that brings you out the food, I say, yeah, maybe tip them a little bit, but not like a full 25%. Okay.
00:45:39
Speaker
okay But if it's like you order it, you pick up yourself, and then you leave, Right. And it's... at No. Probably Like, are you tipping at, like, Mendocino Farms? The truth is I am, unfortunately, because I'm so afraid of people thinking I'm not a good tipper.
00:45:55
Speaker
um Because that's what happens when you're poor. You don't want other people to know you're poor, which is, like, the exact opposite what you should be doing. But it's fine. um I always tip. I'm too scared not to.
00:46:06
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And that's why we're friends, because we have that same... Because we care. Yeah, because we care. We have that same mentality. Because we care. Well, speaking of caring... Mm hmm. Regifting. Yeah, I've regifted and I don't mind doing it.
00:46:23
Speaker
Do you mind getting a regifted gift? um Not if I'm going to use it and enjoy it. If it's a gift that has no purpose for me and it's like clearly obvious it was regifted because of how not like how pointless of a gift it is then like.
00:46:40
Speaker
then yeah then i'm like okay what the fuck but yeah um no i've um i think for me it's like less regifting and more i got free stuff and now i'm using it as gifts you know like i brought you this makeup And um it's just because we had surplus of makeup.
00:47:01
Speaker
and you And you came in and you were like, you walked in the door and said, bitch, put some of this on. I can't. I keep looking at you with that with a bare face. Slap some of this liquid blush on. yeah You look like you're dead.
00:47:13
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. And said, yes, of course, daddy. I'll do whatever you want, daddy. I'll put on makeup, does he? Yeah.
00:47:21
Speaker
and put some of this concealer on that's two shades darker than your complexion we're taking photos we're getting yeah we're getting canceled ash yeah um but if it was
Views on Re-gifting
00:47:32
Speaker
closer to christmas yeah honey i probably would have whatever gift i was like thinking of getting you i would have also included some of that and it's like you know it was free for me and now it's part of your gift I don't mind re-gifting at all. I think it's, it's I don't care. If the intention is, i thought of you and here you go, I don't care what the origin of that thing is.
00:47:55
Speaker
mean, unless you stole it from a child and gave it to me, then maybe we'll have a question, but I don't i don't really mind. um i had my my My friend Rob, he um got this gift, not joking, seven years ago from a cousin. It's like a glass cutting tool to make like um like bottles into glasses.
00:48:14
Speaker
He never opened it. And he's moved around from New York to Boston to l L.A. to now Minnesota. And he's never opened it, but he's taken it from place to place. And this year he's like, I'm not moving again and taking it with me.
00:48:28
Speaker
um want to gift this to you. Do you mind? And I went, no. I mean, I haven't opened it yet. We'll see. So you might be getting a glass for Christmas. I'll remember this. I'll remember this.
Falling Asleep with Audio
00:48:43
Speaker
Going to sleep with something on. Fuck yes. Fuck yes. Fuck yes. Yeah, what do you mean? i
00:48:55
Speaker
i love putting something on and falling asleep, but not tv and not a light. I'm talking podcast. I'll put on an e-book or I put on an audio book or something. And then, and by the way, timed it. I fall asleep within five minutes every time.
00:49:11
Speaker
Before I was like, oh'll put in I'll put her on a 45-minute timer because, you know, it'll take me 45 minutes tossing, turning. I wake up in the morning. I'm like trying to, I'm like, I don't remember any of this.
00:49:22
Speaker
go back 45 minutes set it again i did this for two weeks the same part and i went okay dasha let's see if i'll put it on a five minute timer that's the only i remember five minutes and then i pass out so it's on ah it takes me five minutes to fall asleep when i put that on wow yeah i mean hey well that's good that takes you five minutes to fall asleep yeah and also i'm sleeping by myself it's just me i think it probably will be different if there's another person there i don't think it's everybody's a big fan of that Yeah, I, well, I think what's funny, the, the like, routine that Heidi and I have gotten into is falling asleep on the couch with something on, even though we're both clearly falling asleep. I get that.
00:50:08
Speaker
Okay, my last one. Are you
Possibility of Having Kids
00:50:10
Speaker
ready? Mm-hmm. Having kids. Having kids. Yes or no? This has been on my mind a lot the last couple weeks. my God, me too. And I will have your children. Okay, good. Great. Good. solve that one you. feel like our kids would be good. Like, um I think those are good good genes going on there. Yeah, I know.
00:50:28
Speaker
We've got some good genes. They'll be really insecure and like constantly looking for validation. Yeah, but also so gay they're going to succeed. That's true. We would be stage parents. You realize that, right? We would both like chuck that kid in front of a camera the moment it's out of my vagina.
00:50:44
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Because I would have a vaginal. Oh, we't we'd make their own like social accounts. Sweetheart, you have to record this podcast before you go to school. who Did you do your 15 second TikTok this morning? Oh, no. OK. After school then.
00:50:58
Speaker
unboxing video don't forget we've got PR I'm at lunch I'm in kindergarten and I'm doing my unboxing my parents gave me a mango ice cream treat yeah it looks like a butt I do watch a kid that's like on TikTok who has two gay dads I don't know if you've seen them but I'm gay Yeah, that's why.
00:51:21
Speaker
no um because I'm gay and you've been around me and that should trigger your algorithm. By the way, you will see it come up now. But it's this little kid and he has these two gay dads and he like all his videos are like...
00:51:34
Speaker
everybody, my gayer dad takes takes me to a football game and coaches my little football league or whatever. And it's like this like bear dad who's like who' very, very funny. And he's just like, every time he goes to like coach his team, he's like ah he like shows like a big blown up like rainbow that someone put in here. And he goes, I think that's for me.
00:51:55
Speaker
I think they're trying to say something. um my god, I love it. um my god, I love this rainbow. And he's like, this big bear. It's awesome. wow it's like the best combo it is going to be given to me now for sure it's the best i love it it's like seeing that makes me puts puts a smile on my face to know that there's this kid being raised in like a loving home with these two awesome dads it's it's beautiful yeah yeah um if you were to have kids are you looking at like one or two
00:52:23
Speaker
I wouldn't mind just having one kid. I mean, I'm an only child. It's never bothered me to to only have one kid. I think just like for the sake of my child, I probably would have to have a second one. But I one okay as well i just want to have a kid.
00:52:37
Speaker
Yeah. But I don't think it's in the cards. I might be a good stepmom, though. That could happen for me. that could happen for you then you'd have the whole stepmom trajectory yeah i think i'd be okay with it because honestly at the end of the day it's like i might get it like i i'm a stranger technically and i'm supposed to fill a role that you don't need me to fill so yeah i hear you yeah i'll be like if you want to be my friend you can but i'll be the best i can be for you and i love i love your other pair
