Where firmly in fall now, and that's my favorite season when it comes to fashion. There are so many cute trends I've been seeing, and I'm ready to try them out myself. Macy's makes it so easy to figure out your fall vibe because they have all the latest trends and best brands in one place. So no matter what direction I want to take my style, I know I could find it there. And let's be real, I'm a chameleon who loves to switch up a vibe, so it's directions, plural. Macy's Fall Fashion Guide curates everything, which makes it so easy to find the perfect look for you. I'm personally excited to get into the romantic vibe, so I'll definitely be picking up some flowy dresses from CC and sheer pieces from Inc. Then mixing it up with some textural layers. I have a feeling that the faux fur bomber jacket from Karl Lagerfeld Paris will be in heavy rotation for me. And their calf hair loafers from Steve Madden will be that perfect statement shoe that's too cute to not become a staple item. Ah. Wait to wear it all. Shop@macy's.com or in store. This is a Headgun podcast. Nicole. Hi. Hi. You surprised to see me? You. How did you get here? I've been here. I've been here. Me. I've been here. I've been here. I was immediately going to ask you something, but I simply can't remember. Oh, come on. Have you been to the beach this summer? Yes. Yeah, I have. Have you not? No, I've been to the beach this summer, but on vacation. I've not been to the beach here in California. We went to the beach together. Yes. That was on vacation. Oh, okay. But I've not been to the beach in California. Oh. I'm never at the beach in California. The water is cold. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I could go to the. I just. Yeah. I don't know why I haven't. It's because the water's just so dang cold. Yeah. And then for my birthday, I wanted to go to San Diego, but then I was like, I just want to be at home. I've been traveling so much. It is funny that, like, I feel like there's definitely more beaches to go to in la, but when we were in New York, I would. I would keep trying to go to the beach, basically because it was like. It's so different than where like. Like the concrete jungle. Yeah. Where dreams are made of. It's so different from Brooklyn. I think it probably was part of Rockaway. But it was like, you know, it's like. Like East Williamsburg. It doesn't exist. Yes, yes. They created a different part of Williamsburg. Interesting. And you went to that beach often? Yeah, I mean, I guess, like every so often. I don't think I was there all the time, but, like, me. Because you didn't want to come to Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah. It's like, why would I leave Manhattan? Everything I need is right here. Yeah. And it wasn't an easy way to get there. You had to take. I mean, it's. None of the beaches were easy to get to, but you took a train to a ferry or people could bike there. I think I did bike there one time. Oh. Which I hated. But I'm pretty sure to get to Coney island you just take the train. That's true. It's right off the stop. And I love that there's a boardwalk there. Yeah. That's cute. I was so confused, like, coming to the beaches here where there was no boardwalk. I was like, what the. Where do you get cotton candy? Where do you walk? Where do you. Yeah, where do you walk? You just walk on the sand. What are we doing? Because the Jersey shore where I grew up, there's, you know, boardwalk. Yeah. And people are shit faced by 3pm in Santa Monica, there's a pier. Yeah, but that's a pier over the beach. It's. There's no, like, boardwalk. Oh, wait, I don't know if I know the difference. So, like, there's. There isn't really beach access from that pier. Oh, so boardwalk is like along the beach. Yeah. So beaches here and then beach ends, and then there's sidewalk along the beach. And then on that side is like, food. I see. Got it. And then sometimes, like in Asbury, where I like to go, there's also like a bar over here. And you're technically not supposed to bring your drinks onto the beach, but I watched a woman pour her drink into her backpack, which I assumed she had some sort of canister. And I watched her with an open mouth. And then she looked at me, she went, that's fun. And then we watched her, like, walk the sloppy. Like she was so sloppily walking across the sand in a way that I was like, I don't think you needed the to go cup. And I think it's all over your back now. That's really funny. She's like, I will definitely have this later. Everything's destroyed. Just sloshed around. Yeah, yeah. So and then. Yeah, the Santa Monica pier, it's too far up from the beach for it to be good for me. I get that. Yeah. But I do like it. It's a nice time. Have you been to Long Beach? I have been to Long beach and the beaches there. I don't think they have a boardwalk, and I. I just remember not enjoying my time. Yeah. Well, then there you go. There you go. There you go. There's no beaches here. There's no. There's. Yeah, there's no beaches here. This coastal state. There are no beaches here. We went to Malibu. That was pretty nice. Well, there was the steps. Yeah. I had a million stairs. That was not great. Tess took me to a beach once where it took two hours to get there. Not her fault. Traffic. And the minute we set up our chairs, an overcast happened. Oh, no. And it was so dark, and then the waves were so high. And we watched several people almost drown. Oh, my gosh. I was like, this is not relaxing. No. But then we got soft serve, which made up for it. Okay. Oh, my God. That soft serve was so good. I'm still thinking about the Sizzler. It sounded great. Yeah. Last night I was like, should we go back to the Sizzler? Because you just get a different entree. You get different. I could just get the salad bar for 17.99 and have two cups of ice cream. What are you paying you for? 17.99, you get the salad bar and the ice cream. No, Sizzler's not paying me, but they did thank me for posting on Instagram. That's true. They did that. Boy, I want soft serve so bad. And there's the window right near here. I think I've mentioned this before, but, like, it takes everything in me not to stop there every time I'm here and just get in a big, nasty peanut butty. Is it like, a peanut butter ice cream, or is it, like, vanilla ice cream with peanut butter on top of it? There's no peanut butter involved, so. Peanut buddy. So not peanut butter buddy. It's a peanut butty, so peanuts are on it. Okay. So it's a cone, and then they go and they put the ice cream on top the soft serve, and then they dip it in the chocolate, and then before it's fully dry, they, like, roll it around and they give it to you. Nice. That's really nice. What. How. What would happen if you found out one day that you were allergic to peanuts? No, I don't want that. I don't. No, I don't want that. It's not gonna happen. Oh, no, I don't wish that on you. I do. I do. It will happen. It will happen. My life flashed before my eyes. The thought of not having any more nuts for nuts. The idea of not having another peanut butty. The idea of not eating peanuts out of the shell with like a Welsh's gummy fruit snack to mimic a PB and J before my eyes. Oh, my God. I didn't know you were doing micro dose PB and J's. I love peanuts. You do? I'm so. I'm sorry I even brought it up. This. It won't happen. It was so mean. I came here for a nice time, but it happened to me. I used to eat shrimp all the time and I couldn't eat anymore. And I feel for you because you loved shrimp. I love shrimp and lobster all the time. All the time. In my pasta popcorn. People go to the Triple Crown, which is a. Which was a disgusting Irish pubby restaurant, kind of a dive, very dark, because they didn't want you to see things in there. And you would get shrimp there. And I was always like, she is brave. Brave. It didn't discriminate. I don't care where you got your shrimp. It could be from the sewer. I'll eat it from the sewer. I mean, the. The one of the times that I had an allergic reaction was at a diner that was sketched that I shouldn't, like, near Times Square. And I was like, I'll have the shrimp Alfredo. And Mateo's like, why, that is very funny that you would just eat shrimp from any old place. And then what led to the diagnosis that you couldn't have seafood anymore or shellfish? Sorry. The welts on my face. Because my face would just blow up. It really happened. Like all of a sudden it wasn't. There's no gradual thing. Just all like, I had surf and turf fed lobster welts on my face. And I was like, that was weird. And took Benadryl and went down and then had shrimp again. And it happened again. I think I had shrimp two more times. And I was like, all right, well, I guess I have to stop. And then I did take an allergy test with a doctor and shellfish was blaring on there. Oh, my God. Yeah. I honestly don't know what I would do if I was allergic to peanuts. Yeah, I'm eating them all the time. All the time. You really put that. I'm so sorry. I think about that all day. Like, what if. What if. What if I have a peanut butty and then my Face blows up. Yeah. Here's the thing. I wouldn't stop eating them. I would just take Benadryl. I wonder if there's a way to, like. I guess. How would, you know, like, prevent something from becoming an allergy? But I guess it's like your body just does what it does. Yeah. Because it's like, people develop gluten intolerances. I didn't know how bad gluten intolerance was. What do you mean? Like, how prevalent it is? Or, like. No, no, like. Like our. We have a friend who is gluten intolerant, and they're, like, out of commission for a week if they have gluten. Yeah. Or they be pooping bad. Yeah. It's not great. Yeah. Rude poo. Rude poos. Don't want those. Yeah. I don't want to become allergic to gluten. I'm, like, kind of allergic to gluten, but I still. I still eat it. It's not bad for me. I don't want to be allergic to anything. I want my body to be strong, endure everything. Yeah. I just want to be able to eat everything. And so far, so good. Yeah. Except for cheese and dairy. Okay. That makes me rata tata. Yeah. But if I take lactate. Yeah, it's okay. Or Imodium. Have you ever had an emodium? I haven't. Girl, if you are. Yeah. And uncontrollably, and you take an Imodium, somehow it stops it up, but you don't get a tummy ache. Oh, it stops it. Like, I guess it, like, is like if you could turn off a waterfall. Mm. So it's still in there, I think. And is it, like, now the poops are formed, or is it still, like. I don't think it's, like, shaping your. Your shits. Well, like, it's just, like. Because if you have diarrhea, it's, like, runny, right? Yeah. But is the ammonium right? Like, you've never had diarrhea? You really so, like, I've heard, Sam, that, like, diarrhea is runny, you know? Bitch, you know you've had the runs. I mean, I know that's how my diarrhea works. I don't know how other people's diarrhea works. Someone's diarrhea is loose. I'm not taking poles out of people's stool. That's what I assumed. That's why I was confirming. But you said. Right, like, you'd never had diarrhea. Rarely do I have diarrhea, but I have had diarrhea and it is runny. I'm just making sure that's consistent with your diarrhea. Yes, my diarrhea is running nice, and Imodium stops it. But does when you poop again, is the poop runny or formed? See that? I don't know. I didn't, like, take an observation. Okay. I just took it and was like, whoa. Yeah, I don't feel bad. I don't feel great. But it stopped. Is it immediate, or does it have to, like. I think it took, like, 15, 20 minutes. That's great. Yeah, it was nice. And then I was, like, able to, like, go out in the world and live. I felt like one of those commercials where I was like, I can canoe. I'm not controlled by my diarrhea. I'm not gonna let diarrhea ruin my fun time. I mean. Yes, that's what happened. Great. Oh, boy. I'm so glad. Thank you. Thank you so much. I can't believe diarrhea is runny. Right? I get. Because I'm not often talking to people about the consistency of their diarrhea. So I'm like, are there some people who have diarrhea? That's not runny, is it? Just logs. A lot of logs coming out of them. It's like sausage links. Yeah. Coming down row by row. I also hate that you did that initially. That was really upsetting for me. Diarrhea. Just so much diarrhea. For those who are just listening and not watching the video, I would guess. Hop to YouTube. Hop to YouTube. See me do a hand job. Motion minute 14 of the podcast. Yuck. Oh, Lord, I've been having trouble remembering. I was gonna say something else, and then I can't remember. Do you feel like it's getting worse or is it, like, consistent? No, I think my body's just catching up to being super busy because I haven't been this busy in a minute. I think my body's like, what's happening? Is your period coming or are you on your period? I feel like I get foggy when I'm on my period. It might be coming. Yeah. I never check. I'm always constantly surprised. I am 76 years old. I should just look at my little fucking app, see if it's coming. Because I. I guess, yeah, it. I do get, like, a little brain foggy beforehand, but then my emotions are wild. Yeah. The older I get, the more I'm like, everyone's out to get me. The lady at Gelson's hates me. That man who hangs out with me. He's gonna kill me. Oh, no. Sounds like you're paranoid. So she's gonna stab me in the eye. This happens every month. This sucks. It does. And I did look into getting a hysterectomy, and they're like, that is invasive surgery. You can't also. You might want to have children. And I was like, well, don't tack that on. Just tell me it's invasive and I can't have it as an elective surgery. Yeah, I guess. Shouldn't be a factor. You're already at the doctor. You know the risk, like, yeah, yeah. And I don't want kids. Yeah. Get rid of that P. You kids are stinky. But if you have a kid, like, good on you. Yeah. They're out of here. What are you going to do? Yeah. The people who are planning on having kids, you idiots. But I do love a baby. I love a baby so much. Yeah. You don't love babies. I don't. I. Like, I could take them or leave them. They smell so good. Yeah, I guess they smell like babies. Yeah. You don't. You've never smelled like a baby head and been like, whoa, that's nice. I'm not often that close to their heads or to them at all. I don't. Like. I feel like they're too fragile. I don't want to have them actually in my arms. Fair. Whenever a friend has a baby, I'm always like, let me hold your baby. And then once that baby hits a one and a half, you'll never hear from me again. Because then they start, like, moving and, like, grooving, and then they want the person that they love. They don't want me. They don't know me. That makes sense. Yeah. And I want somebody who doesn't know me, loves me. I want them fresh. They haven't been attached to anybody yet, kind of. And they're just little beans. And you hold them like, oh, my God, that is nice. And then you get to do, like. They appreciate voices the way that adults don't. You've seen it happen in restaurants where, like, I'll be like, can I have a burger? And they're like, sure. But babies, they like that. Yeah. There's. They still have whimsy in them. Yes. Adults don't. They don't. And I don't understand why. Where do you think adults lose their whimsy? Ooh, any middle school, high school. I think you're right with middle school. Right. It feels like that's when the kids are the meanest. Yeah. Or like, when we're. We're trying to, like, make rules, Rules and boundaries for people of, like, what's socially acceptable, what's cool, what we don't like. And then, like, we haven't gotten to a place where we feel like. I mean, I don't know about we. Not, not everybody feels this way. But some people feel, like, not self assured enough to say, I'm. That's bullshit. I'm not gonna follow these rules that you just made up. I. I can just do my thing. Some people do. And that's beautiful. And I'm so glad that there are people who can do that. But I do think a lot of people want approval. Yeah. Yeah. But it's also funny, like, as an adult, people don't, like, refine the whimsy and like, they don't do the things they want to do. They just, like, work a sad job that they don't like. Yeah. And then, like, live in a town that they hate and friends that they don't like. And it's like, you can dress up in a tutu and twirl state in a different. In a different state if you don't want to do that. Different friends. I think it's fear based. It's like, because maybe they haven't seen anyone do that. So they're like, well, why would I do that? You know? Yeah. Or they have seen someone do that and they got made fun of or something. And they're like, well, I don't want to be the person that's getting made fun of or made to feel different or weird. And a lot of people don't like attention either. So they look different in some way or they're acting different some way they're gonna be like, well, people are gonna notice. It is funny that people don't. I love attention, but then sometimes I don't love attention because my little airplane outfit is either a black sweatsuit when I don't want attention, or it is the loudest, most colorful sweatsuit. And whenever I wear it and I don't get compliments, I'm furious. I'm like, I look different than everybody else. And you don't want to say something. Someone comment on it. Please, someone tell me I look beautiful. I wore it to the Delta One lounge and everyone kept telling me how beautiful I was. That's. And then she sweeps her hair. Oh, I'm so glad you got that. Thank you. Sometimes, have you. You've never just, like, put on an outfit and been like, I want to be told I'M beautiful. I have put outfits together and been like, I think I look great, and I. And I hope other people do too. But I guess I don't do it because I don't do it intending to get compliments, if that makes sense. I mean, I don't do it with the intention to get compliments. I'll just, like, complete the look. Look in the mirror and be like, if I don't get compliments tonight, I'm gonna pull out a gun. Okay, well, yeah, I'm definitely not doing that. Really? You don't. Like, you're not mad when you get home if you don't get a single? Like. Like, if somebody doesn't compliment you, you're not like, I can't believe Heaven Step Betsy. I'm mad. I mean, if I'm trying something new, it's like, I got a new hat or like, I'm wearing something in a new way. I've got. I have a scarf around my neck or something, and I'm like, I want somebody to notice. And I see people, and no one says anything. I'll be like, do you like my hat? What do you think of this? What do you think of this? Look? That is funny because I have heard you do that. What do you think? Like, it'll just be, like, in the middle of a comrade, but, like, the sun is really hot. Do you like my hat? Which is very funny. Maybe I. Because also, maybe if I don't do that, I will get a gun. Like, I need to have. I need. It's, like, brewing in me, and I'm like, I can't believe, you know, I took on my hat yet. Do you like it or what? Okay, great. Now we can move on. Talk about the sun. Yes, that's how I am. But I don't do. I won't say, do you like it? But maybe I'll get into that. Maybe that's how I'll get my compliments. Yeah, ask for them. Yeah, just ask for them. I'm gonna start asking after this break. And we're back. Speaking of organic, I was actually talking to Susie Barrett for her podcast, I'm gonna Improv. And. And we were talking about Doppelganger, our old improv group, and how we used to do organic transitions. And I was like, I cannot believe we did that for so long. No, I can't believe we did that either. It's so labor intensive. A lot of movement. Yeah. If you don't know an organic, like, opening to improv or, like, organic scene changes is like, you move your body and you use your voice that informs what the scene scene is. And that let us. We would roll around on the floor so much and, like, run around the theater. We'd be so sweat. We had to, like, when we were performing at ucb, we'd go to Graciti's, the grocery store upstairs, open the freezer, and, like, stick our faces in there because we were so hot from, like, the workout of performing. And then there was a group called Bass Pro is two people pretending to be on a boat, fishing, just talking. And I remember when I first saw them, I was like, this is so boring. I can't believe they're just sitting there. And now I get it. I just want to sit. Yeah, we'll be hot air balloon. Prof. Sit it. Sit, sit it. Seated, Seated. I will be seated. I will be sitting and I will do the improv. But, yeah, we would just be so, like, just sweating. Drenched in sweat. Oh, my God. Those were the days. We were so young. We were so young. So full of life. Alive. Yeah. Promise and hope. When you said organic, it reminded me. I found a website that gives you fruits you've never heard of by gives. You have to buy them. But I just learned the strain of bananas we eat is not the original strain of banana. I heard that recently too. And runts. The runt flavor of banana is what they're supposed to taste like, is what they're supposed to take. That's based on that. I think it's called Mara Elizabeth. That's wrong. Mara, Liz. Mary Elizabeth. Mary Elizabeth Weinstein. Winston. I'm sorry, Ali, do you mind looking up what the original banana is? What is the original. What answer are you looking for? Like, where does it come from? You know the name of the strain of banana. Okay. Because apparently a fungus took out that banana. So then the bananas that we eat, whatever they're called, they're more resistant to that fungus. But I found a website that will give me the. The bananas that I want. Where do they come from? Oh, she's getting her phone. Did I tell you that I had a sweet banana in Japan? Yes. And I. I think you had maybe this strain, this strain of banana, call.

B
It the original banana was known as the Gross Michel, also known as Big Mike.
- [24:08]
A
Yes.
- [24:08]
B
Which was a popular commercial banana variety until the mid 20th century. And it was nearly wiped out by a fungal disease called Panama disease, which is why it's no longer commercially available in many places. The Cavendish banana is a different variety, and that was introduced as the replacement because it's resistant to Panama disease.

A
Oh, wow. Yeah. So this website is called miamifruit.org and they have things like a golden berry Peruvian ground cherry or a golden. A gold nugget mandarin orange or a gambuch lemon mango goosh. I don't know. There's so many weird fruits. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna order a bunch of fruits and I'll have a fruit party. I like that. I want to try these fruits, right? Don't they look cool as hell? They do look cool as hell. Get on a desktop though, because they're not showing me all enough fruits. I want to see more per page. I need this on a wider screen. But they have like a bunch of fun looking cherries and stuff. Yeah. Learned is I love organic fruit. Like not to be like, you know, like, uppity about it. I mean, we should all be eating organic fruit. The fact that we have fruit, that's not. Is crazy. It is crazy. But like, I thought I didn't like tomatoes until I went to Italy and was like, oh my God, I love tomatoes. So now I know I gotta look for like heirloom tomatoes or on the vine tomatoes. Those are like kind of the sweetest ones. But I had strawberries that were so delicious from a farmer's market recently that I was like, I love fruit. I love fruit. And. And then at the Sizzler, I had watermelon that was so good. I don't know where they're sourcing it from, but I was like, it's really good. Apparently so good. Yeah. And I'm like, I think I want to have like a fruit time. Yeah, I want a fruit time. I love fruit. Okay, you're invited to the fruit party. Great, thank you. I don't know when it's all going to come, though. Does it come at different times or. Yeah, I haven't really investigated their shipping schedule, so I just discovered it last night. Okay, well, get on the horn. But it also blew my mind that runs are based on the flavor of the gross Michelle banana. Because I love banana runs and I hate, I hate bananas. I. I just assumed, yeah, it was like artificial flavoring. Like they just. I mean, it is artificial flavoring, but just like enhanced it to be like super sweet. But apparently it's. Did the banana you eat in Japan taste like a runt? No, it wasn't that sweet. It was sweeter than what we have in the States. Isn't it sick that we have robbed people of sweet bananas? Yeah, I just thought. I just assumed they were bland. It's wild. It's just simply wild. Wild. The strawberries I grow are pretty sweet, but I got this other variety of strawberry that's even sweeter. I got them from Etsy when I was a farmer years ago, right before the pandemic. And I don't. Oh. I guess I could go through my email, see what's up. The seeds are from Etsy. The starter plant was from Etsy. I am not a seed farmer. I see. I don't know how to do that. All right. But there was a little. He was in a caterpillar. I think he's called a tobacco moth, but he was a tobacco moth. Caterpillar. Maybe that's a. I don't know. He was a big green guy that I thought was a branch until I was like, you've been munching. So I took the tomatoes, he munched, and I planted them, and they. They're sprouting. Nice. You. So you do work with seeds. I am a seed worker. Wow. Never sell yourself short. Look at that. I like that. Hey, thanks. I also want to do my library club. I have so many grand plans for me. What's the library club? Oh, going to the library. You did describe this. Yes, I do. We all enjoy physical media. I would love to. Should we do a quiz? Let's do a quiz. Yeah. A specific fruit. Everyone embodies a specific fruit. And you can't go another day without finding out yours. Ooh. What's your favorite season? Summer, Winter, Fall? Spring. I like more than one. I don't really have a favorite. My favorite season? Spring. I do love spring, but I love swimming, so I think I'm gonna have to say summer. I can see that you also love the sun. Sun is good. The sun is good. The sun makes your skin. My skin is great. Yeah. Thriving. It's the sun and the medication I'm on. And your favorite dessert. Pie. Gummies. Sugar cookies. The fox going to say gummies as a dessert? Yeah, it's a snack. I would be so mad if I went to someone's home for dinner and I have gummies. Gummies. What if they made the gummies? So what? It's a big gummy. Or they may be, like, chopped up in little pieces. No, we're not friends anymore, and I'm talking about you. I'm going to talk about you to everybody who will listen. Don't go. Don't go. They have gummies. Ugh. Sugar cookies. Cupcakes. I don't like dessert. Or at least not any of These. I'll take them all. I mean, at a dinner party. Well, did it say dinner party or just it just a dessert? It didn't specify. And specify where we were? Sure didn't. I mean, a dinner party. I think sugar cookies for me. I wish they were chocolate chip cookies, but I would do a sugar cookie. I think I'm gonna do cupcake. Although I do have to take you to this place that has a great cobbler. It's called Lingua Franca. Okay. And it's in at water. No, it's in Frogtown. And they won't let you order it if it's just two of you. And it's because it's big. But it was the best cobbler I have ever had in my whole life. I like that. I was sliding out of my chair, wet with happiness. Damn. Let's have a dessert party. Pick a video game. Animal Crossing. You have feelings about that? Animal Crossing. I played for months. Everyone had a house. I couldn't have a house. I couldn't figure out how to get a house. Then you. You start in debt to Tim Nook. And then. And then I would go fishing and catch boots. Animal Crossing was so mean to me. I'm so sorry. Thanks, Fortnite. Anything Mario. Roblox. I don't know what Roblox is. Anything Sonic. Ah. I don't like video games. I'm judging you. Wow. I. I'm picking anything Sonic. Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick anything Sonic, too. That's really, like, the most nice. Only one I played when I was younger. When I played topgolf, they had a Sonic thing, like a theme. Yeah, topgolf is hard. Do you get? Yeah, it is hard because they, like. Yeah, they have, like, sections lit up that you're supposed to, like, aim for. And then you're supposed to aim for the things that it tells you on the screen. But I'm like, the screen's not in front of me. Right. It's not. It's not easy. No, it was tough. Pick a game. Monopoly. I prefer puzzles. Ugh. What? An Uno Katan. Anything with a standard deck. Oh, I don't games. I think it's. I don't like games. Or I don't game. I don't games. I don't games. Get out of here. Well, I'm thinking. Ooh, no. Yeah. Apparently Uno is gonna be casinos. I saw that. I'm like, how they're trying to get black people to get there. They truly are. But I'm like, but what rules will it Be the UNO standard. I know that's pretty hard because that will cause fights. I thought. I think. I think I saw a post from UNO that was like, we actually are delaying this to figure out which rules are going to be the casino rules. I think. Wow, you'll love to see it, because I think UNO tells you you can't do, like. So I play where if you have, like, a draw four, it's still on you or it skips the next person. Wait, what is it? Oh, I play where you can put down, like, a draw, like two draw fours or like two draw twos or, like, two reverses. And I think in the official rules, you can't do that. Oh, damn. I. Wow. You don't want to. You don't want to be an UNO head. There's too many rules. There is a lot of rules to uno. I'm not an Uno head. Anything with a standard deck. I do like card games. Poker. Poker's hard. Poker's hard. I like speed or spoons or spades or camps or. Yeah, the only one I know is spades. Okay. I like spades. I haven't played spades in forever. I don't even. I haven't played a long time either. I need a refresher. Pick an emoji. Crying. Laughing face. Crying. So much hugging. That's hugging. There's two people hugging. What do you think it was? Choking? A recorder. Like. Like a. Like a camcorder. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh, are your contacts in? Wait a minute. I could have sworn there. There is a, like, film, like, camera emoji. It doesn't. It's not that. I can only see two blue people hugging. Well, now I see it, but I thought the camera was. The camera's not blue. No, it's. It's like black. Oh. And gray. Oh. Oh. We've been sending people hugs when you thought it was a camera. This is wild, because to me, this looks like a camera. Oh, yeah. The shape of it. Yeah. And it's so little. Did you find the film one, though? I did. And it's black. Yeah. Why are they blue? To make it, like, ambiguous. Yeah, ambiguous. Any people? A punch? A heart? So chicken or turkey? Questions about everything now. Oh, no. Chicken or turkey. I assumed it was a chicken drumstick. It could be turkey, I guess. Now it could be turkey. Yeah. But I don't think. I don't think they're that ambiguous. Could be chicken or it could be turkey. Yeah, I guess it could be anything, really. It could be pigeon. Poultry. Yeah. Poultry. Okay. The emoji I'm picking is heart. I think I use the heart the most. I use the. The crying. The like, real sobbing with, like, the. Oh, yeah. Which do you post on the most? Twitter. This feels like a survey now it does. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram. Depends on what I'm posting. I don't post on any of these and I don't plan on it. Wow, there is one sassy person taking this. This quiz. Well, I only really post on Instagram. Same also only on Instagram, but I do have a Facebook. Oh, but it's a faux book because I'm not friends with anybody. Oh, you're just creeping. Geo tracker groups and going on Facebook. Marketplace. Wait, what are Geo tracker groups? The car, The Geo tracker Facebook groups. I think with other geo tracker lovers. How would you like to spend your vacation? Hanging out on the beach, doing something spontaneous. Spending quality time with family and friends. Yuck. Visiting famous sites at home on vacation. I guess you have time off from work. That's not a vacation. Yeah, that's just living, camping. Beach. Yeah, I would say also beach. The picture of doing something spontaneous is just someone's feet outside the car. They're so crazy. Have you seen them? It's like a meme with a girl with a bag of peas on her head. It's like Casey's crazy. It's one of my favorite. I do love it. She's so crazy. How old are you? Be honest. 12 or under 13 to 15? 16 to 18? 19 to 21? 21 to 30. Older than 30. Well, that's nice. Just anything older than 30. Not 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s? Nope, just older than 30. We're all grouped together. I'm also. We're both older than 30. Be honest. 21. No one would believe we're 21. No, but someone did think I was 30 last night. Where were you? At the long story Short party. Oh, yeah. They couldn't make it. No, I understand. Did you roller skate? I didn't. Oh. Hardly anyone did. Oh, the floor wasn't that great. Oh, yeah. Your friends would describe you as complex, hilarious, outgoing, smart, quiet, serious. I think my friends would describe me as quiet or serious. Just kidding. I'm so crazy. I'm so crazy. I think Outgoing. Yeah. I don't know how my friends would describe me. Are you smart? Yeah. Okay. Because you're not serious. Yeah, I'm not serious. Maybe some people think I'm serious, but I feel like my friends would not think that. I think strangers would think you're serious and then outgoing sometimes. But not really. Not like a very specific window. I can be outgoing, which is very funny. Is it still frozen? Looks like it's self rising. Wow. Yeah. Defund buzzfeed. Well, I guess when we figure we'll have to figure out the quiz, we should take a break. Support for this podcast is brought to you by Chamberlain University.

Whoa. Did you know a woman built the Brooklyn Bridge? I did not know that. Yeah, so I learned this from the Gilded Age, but then I had to do further, you know. Wrestling. Yes. Digging. Her husband was in charge, like the head architect. And then he got got sick. So then he was only relaying information through her. And then in that, she learned architecture and then helped with some of the design. I love that they didn't want to tell anybody because they were like, men won't walk across the bridge if they know a woman made it. That's so funny. Funny. Well, I'm gonna die. Grow up. Grow up. Yeah, I guess I'll. Hello? What happened? Maybe it's a site. My thing just like, rebooted all by itself. Oh, no. Good Lord. Mine's doing great. Isn't that nice? Mine's doing great. Choose a paper hobby. Oh, no, wait, hold on. It's. I have to redo it. The whole thing holding thing again. Okay. Spring cards. Will this even be worth it? No, this is better. I better really love the fruit it gives me. Truly, if it doesn't give me a strawberry, I'm getting a gun. I love strawberries. What is happening? A problem occurred with buzzfeed. Blah, blah, blah, Quiz. All right, I'll persevere. Choose a paper hobby. Origami. Is that mean to leave you behind? No, no, it's fine. I won't. George Bush you. No, I will. George Bush you. No one's left behind. That's his lasting impression on me. And his presidency is no children left behind, which I think is so, so silly because some of the children do need to be left behind. Yeah. A little extra cooking. All right, I'm waiting on you. Thank you. You're welcome. Choose a paper hobby. Origami. Drawing or sketching. Doodling. Coloring. Writing. Paper. Collages. I'm gonna say drawing, including yourself. How many friends are in your friend group? Five plus. Five plus. But I'm not close with them. What? That's a friend group? Three to five. But I'm not close with them. What? Five plus. And I'm close with most of them. Three to five. And I'm close with most of them. I don't have a friend group. It's just me and my bestie. My friends don't really know each other. Interesting. I have different friend groups, but I guess I would say three to five. And I'm close with most of them in the different groups. Yeah, that sounds right. Okay, choose a movie genre. Action, comedy, Anime, Science fiction. Fantasy. Other. I'm say action. I love action movies. Yeah, this is long. Choose a book. Genre. Non fiction. Commentary. What's a commentary book? Graphic novels. Romance, science fiction and or fantasy. I don't really read books. I like romance. And finally, which fruit do you think you'll get? Is it just. Are they just gonna give you that fruit? Probably. Banana, apple, Pineapple. This pineapple has sunglasses on it. Strawberry. Watermelon. Kiwi. I either want watermelon or strawberry. I'm gonna say strawberry. I'm a kiwi. I hated this quiz. You're introverted, sweet. Well, I just. I told them I was like the. I was outgoing. Yeah. How are you? I'm okay. So you're introverted, sweet, reliable and kind. And you often put up. Put other people before yourself. Who knew a kiwi was so complex? You kind of feel neutral about talking to strangers, but find it easy to open up to longtime friends. You probably find one on one friendships to be better or easier to manage than big friend groups. This might be the last BuzzFeed we quiz. We do defund BuzzFeed. Yeah. I can't believe that. It was, like, rebooting on my phone. There's too many ads. I was like, things were spinning in my eyeballs. Okay. Couldn't complete it. That's not the description of you. You're not kiwi. I'm a bold strawberry or a watermelon. I believe that I say a pineapple. A little prickly, but sweet on the inside. I like that, too. Any buzzfeed for this? I'm living. What food do you think I am? Actually, I think I'm a kiwi. Maybe. You might be a kiwi, but I was thinking like, a mango, where it's like, you have one thing on the outside, but there's something different on the inside. Okay. Where it's. Know what you're going to get with Sashir. It sounds like, like the intro to like. Like a reality show or something is like, you never know what you're going to get with. And I'm okay. I think a watermelon. Hard exterior, sweetness on the inside. All right. I was thinking about my tattoos the other day because I have a menagerie of fruit on my butt or, like, food on my butt. And I have a. A watermelon, a strawberry, and a banana, and it says juicy. I feel like the artist should have said, you know, bananas aren't juicy. Right. I was looking at it the other day, and I was like, what. What was I thinking? And how long have you had that tattoo? At least a decade. But I was just, like, looking at my butt, and I was like, why? Why did I get a banana? This is juicy bananas. Famously not juicy. Creamy. Not even sweet anymore. Nope. Not with the strain we get. Did you. Was it because it was phallic? You just want something, like, probably phallic on your body. Probably, yeah. But I also have a lemon that says, when life gives you lemons, suck a dick. So, like, I've already covered the phallic part of fruit. You literally spelled it. You didn't even have to have a, like, implication. She was like, are you sure you want dick written on your body? And I was like, tap me up. But I really do think she could have asked about the bananas. Like, as far as I know, bananas are not juicy. That's very funny. Yeah. To answer some questions. Yeah. Yeah.

Hi, Nicole and Sashir. I'm looking for advice on whether or not to talk to one of my best friends about how I'm worried she's moving too fast in her current relationship. She's been with this guy for about nine months, and they've been talking about getting married for a while, and last week she told me he's picked out a ring. Her boyfriend is devoutly Christian. She's much more casually religious, and they've decided not to have sex or live together until they're married, which are preferences she did not have before she met him. They also have a small age gap. She's 27 and he's 21, and he's still in college. She seems really happy. I don't want to cross any lines, but these things seem like signs of rushing to me. I. But I'm also a lesbian who's had bad experiences with religion and no personal desire to get married, so I'm probably biased. Do you think there's a good way to tell her I'm worried she's rushing into getting married, or am I being paranoid and should just let it be? Thank you guys for the awesome stuff you do. I'm obsessed with sitcoms and I adore Home, Home Economics and Grand Crew.

A
Rest in Peace to those two. I'm glad you liked it for watching. You didn't watch hard enough. This one's tough for me because at the end of it, I was like, oh, I do actually think you're projecting. Like, you've had bad experiences with religion. She's with a religious person and is kind of following their religion things. I honestly think nine months, that's almost a year. Sure, it's moving fast, but if two people want to do it, two people are going to do it. I guess the only thing that's screaming at me is the age. He's 21. Yes. That's really young for anybody. Like, even if she was also 21, if both of them were 21, that's a really young group of people to make a big decision like that. And, yeah, I guess I. Yeah. Even aside from, like, the religious factor of it. But also part of me is like, they're horny. Of course they want to get married fast. If that's the only thing keeping them from having sex, they're like, let's do it tomorrow. Yeah, let's get married. Yeah. So, yeah, I think I would. I would be worried or not worry. But I would question it. I'd be like, I don't know, this kid's young and, and this is still, you know. Yeah, you haven't reached a year, nine months. I do believe someone in nine months can, can come to the conclusion that they do want to marry their partner. But I don't trust a 21 year old. And yeah, I would kind of want both of them to have some more life experience before they make a decision like that. But also, it is their life and they could work out like some people do, get married that young and stay married their whole lives. So a lot of people used to do that all the time. Yeah, I feel like the worst that happens is you get a divorce. Yeah, I would just. The only thing I would be worried about is finances. Is this 21 year old making money? Does this older lady have money? I would just, I would have your friend, like, I don't know, have the conversation. Like, do you really think, do you think you're rushing into it and that's an okay, you know, question to ask, but then if they go no, that's the answer you have to accept. And then I think you could be like, well, I think you should protect yourself financially. I'm not like, suggesting anything. I'm just saying in the, like, in the future, if it doesn't work out, you're protected and your money is your money. I like that. And it makes it specific so it's not just like, you know, you're like, I don't want you to get married because it seems too fast. It's like, I'm worried about your finances. Like, that's a valid concern. And also, yeah, maybe you could, maybe for the person who's writing in too, for yourself, think of why this bothers you. Like, is it, is it really the speed or is it also like, like, what do you. Is it also the guy? Like, do you, do you not even want this marriage to happen at all? Or would it feel okay if it happened in a year or two? Like, what's. Or if it was an older person? Yeah. Like, what specifically is bugging you about it? And maybe when you get to that point where you can identify it, maybe bring that up. And if, you know, if it is like, this guy's really young, do you feel like this, this is a partner that can really, like, be in a secure relationship with you and, like, show up as an adult partner for you? And if the answer is yes, then that's the answer, or whatever the thing is. But yeah, I think I think making it specific and not being like this feels fast is helpful. I think so too. I think that's also like a very good point to bring up to be like, he is younger than you. Do you think he'll be able to show up emotionally as a partner or an equal to you? Can this person contribute even though they're still in college? But I'm very much like, protect your money. Make sure you know what's going on with your money. Don't fund a 21 year old's startup. I don't know. I don't know what the kid does. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Also like if they just got out of college, will you be the first like adult living situation this person's been in? Like have they, did they go from their parents house to college to you, your house? Or like what's the situation here? Which is, you know, it's just like what are you comfortable with? Yeah, I think those are all good things to, you know, raise to a friend because it's like we're just friends. We're just, we're just, we're just talking. We're just talking. These are just words. You do whatever you want to do, but I'm just putting them out there. You're sorry. You were talking and I was starting to say something. Oh, no, it's okay. Should we do one more? Yes.

Hi, Nicole and Sashir. I have a friendship question I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm a 34 year old single woman living in Brooklyn and as you can imagine, most of my friends have gotten married and are popping out their first and even second and third kids. I love my girlfriends and would truly jump in front of a bus to protect their babies. And I'm content with my life and don't have a problem being one of the only singles left. The problem is how boring all of our conversations have become. Either about babies or husbands or wedding planning. My group chat is all about breast pumps and humidifier recommendations. I'm completely left out of conversations even in person. And I feel so disconnected from even my closest friends. I may not have a kid or an active love life, but I am still an interesting person person. And I wish that I had a chance to share or at least talk about everything going on in the world. Actually, I recently sold a TV show. I know the two of you know how hard that is, but I haven't even told my friends. I admire your friendship so much and your ability to talk about anything and everything with each other. And I'd love your thoughts on how I can repair my friendships and insert myself back into the conversation. All my love and thank you.
- [53:39]
A
I wonder. Yeah, congrats on that. That's huge. And I'm sorry you feel you can't tell your friends or, like, but it's not going to be as celebrated as the kids. I wonder if there are. I don't know how big this friend group is, but I wonder if there are a couple people in there who feel like they're more able to have conversations that aren't related to kids and stuff like that. And maybe you could make a smaller group chat. You can still be a part of the large group chat, but, like, maybe for more intimate conversations, you can, like, break off and, like, have, like, a separate chat. Because sometimes when the group is large, it's. Everything gets lost. Not just your stuff, but, like, it's just hard for. Yes. Because everyone's like, yeah. So it might feel like, oh, everyone's talking about babies, but they're not talking about my stuff. But like, there's some probably somebody else in the chat that's also feeling like they didn't talk. They didn't acknowledge the deck that I built, like, you know, like, or whatever. So maybe you can, like, for, I guess, more important things that feel like I actually do want to have a conversation about this or, like, have back and forth. You can have a smaller chat. And also, like, is it really possible that you have no other friends that have no kids? Like, sure. Is it. Is it possible? I'm getting very anxious. I mean, I guess it's possible, but it's like, you're really the only one. Like, I do think that is pretty wild. Maybe if, like, close, close friends. Yeah. Like, there's some acquaintances out there that are also still single. But I think. I think that's good. Like, like creating a smaller group chat. Or honestly, I would like, if your friends are comfortable enough to be like, Goo Goo Gaga. He just ate something. I don't know why I named the child Goo Goo Gaga. That was the name. I thought you were quoting the baby. No, I named the baby Goo Goo Gaga. I said Goo Gaga ate something. Okay. Thomas, your friends to be like, and I sold a TV show. Yeah. Yeah. Like, what did he eat? I sold a TV show. Yeah. I think, like, you can still throw it out there, but I would want you to find another chat to actually get gratification because it might not be satisfying from this large group of moms. I also find it so hard to believe that these people are Only talking about their children. Like they don't have anything else. I mean, it's. Children do consume a lot of time and energy and. And brain space when you're a parent. I do have friends who have kids and they have separate mom chats where it's just moms talking about mom stuff because they want to talk about mom stuff. They probably need advice from other moms and that's great. I would die if I was in that chat. I don't be in that chat. Never join that chat. But then we have a separate chat where we talk about TV stuff or like, you know, like other things, work or life or houses or whatever. Like, and then when they go want mom stuff, they go to the mom group. So maybe. Yeah, I think you really got to like, make sure you're not in the mom group. Yeah. And create a different group that maybe it also include everybody else. But maybe you're like, look, I'm gonna step out of this one. Yes. And I'm gonna create a different one. Yeah. It's just non mom related stuff. Just life stuff. Yeah. That's kid light. Like, you can mention your kid, but like, I. I don't need to hear about breast pumps and stuff. Yeah. Breast pumps are crazy. You, like strap them on and then they milk you. Yeah. Do cows get those? I think a thing like suck, like a machine that sucks out the milk. Getting jobs away from people. People should be milking cows and women. I don't know if people ever milked women as a job. People. You should have to go to the milkery and get milk to feed your child. Yeah, you'd have to go to the Milky. That's like adding an extra step. You're already in your house with your child with your boobs. You should just put the baby on the booze. You have to leave. AI. I'm against technology. You have to go to the milkery. Yeah. Yeah. Ew. So solved. Go to the Milky Way. All right, that's it. That's it. If you have any questions or queries, you can call or text or leave a voice message at some place. It's coming. Oh, you can email nicole and sashir gmail.com Nice. That's the. Definitely the email. And you can call, text, or send a voice message at 323-238-6554. And that's it. Bye. Fun times. Fun times. Nice times. That was a Headgum podcast. That was a Headgum podcast.
