Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Modern Insecurities and the Fitbit Saga

• Fitbit Sleep Scores & Male Insecurity
  • Drew brags about his Fitbit Air and boasts a high sleep score, while admitting, "I'm so insecure about my tiny little baby skinny wrists and my skinny body. Like, I hate how skinny I am. I just can't gain weight, guys. It sucks so bad." — Drew [06:12]
  • The group dives into body image insecurities unique to men, joking about wrist size and “wrist genetics.”
  • They riff on touch deprivation and yearning to be held: "I want to be held." — Drew [07:34]

2. Changing Opinions & The Hypocrisy Loop

• Kai reflects on accepting personal hypocrisy:
  • "I would be so... I'd kill myself. Cuz that's when your life is the Truman Show. I'll admit to being a fake ass... I'll talk about something and then interact with it and openly just change my mind... Like, what? Like a lot of y’all are scared as fuck for no reason." — Kai [08:48]
• Drew points out the ever-shifting lines of what’s cool and authentic, especially in social circles.

3. Pop Culture Cycles: Labubu Craze, Trolls & Streetwear

• The group looks back at the fleeting Labubu toy trend:
  • "Can I say something? I think enough time has passed. 24 Karat Gold Labubu was the most unfunny shit I've ever heard." — Drew [16:09]
  • They discuss learning to spot counterfeits, echoing earlier experiences with streetwear bootlegs: "It felt like when we first got into, like, street wear and stuff and, like, supreme and vape and all those things..." — Kai [19:59]
  • Emphasis on children now getting educated about fakes and trends: "[pre-teens]...were literally explaining to me [about counterfeit Labubus]…" — Kai [17:56]
• Hilarious nostalgia for robo-dogs and childhood tech toys. Kai ponders: "That's where I genuinely think technological advances should have just started, like slowing down." [25:40]

4. Cultural & Economic Realities: Addiction, Scams, and Capitalism

A. Family Scams & Uber Stories

• Drew emotionally recounts an Uber driver tragically scammed by the Dinar currency scheme:
  • "This man just, like, went out three days ago and bought a brand new Tesla because he thinks he's about to become a billionaire tomorrow... it happened to my grandpa and he lost all of his money to this scam." — Drew [40:04]
  • Deep empathy for older generations chasing financial hope, struggling in capitalism: “...even sheriffs can’t live in this economy.” — Drew [34:52]
  • They highlight the link between scam susceptibility and addiction psychology: "That's why I say everything is an addiction because you have to stop it. It can't be because, like, their family's telling them, a friend's telling them..." — Kai [44:08]
• The group discusses weird Uber drivers, including a former Power Ranger/sheriff:
  • "He was the original Blue Power Ranger in the pilot episode and that he's also...now an Uber driver." — Drew [34:20]

B. Capitalism, Hustle Culture, and Aging

• Drew: "As long as I'm living anywhere really, like, no matter where you go, you kinda can't escape that... Everything is consumed by, like, the never ending hamster wheel." [49:56]
• Jokes about "work-pilled" America and the pressures never fully leaving, even in old age.

5. Online Culture, Performance Art, and Trolling

• Anthony: "You can categorize it as...performance art, you know...trolley online but there is a level of self awareness to it..." [51:12]
• Frustration that "performance artists" rarely use their platforms for good:
  • "Why don't performance artists ever do the right thing? Become president as performance art and then, like, give us all universal healthcare." — Anthony [52:06]
• Joking about Kim Kardashian attempting law, Kanye’s “art,” and the limits of celebrity “mockumentaries.”
• Sharp observations on clout, attention, and reality distortion online:
  • "We are incentivized to interact with and speak about negative things by the algorithm, but it's just interesting when it's rewired. All of ours Brains." — Drew [52:10]

6. Quick Hits: Pop Culture, News & Personal Media

• Britney Spears & Viral Clips
  • Running jokes about Britney, Judy Jupiter, Azalea Banks, and the uncanny valley of internet personalities.
  • "She's literally just like a post rage baiter." — Drew [50:44]
• Sports Sidebar
  • Intense but tongue-in-cheek mini-rant about the Spurs, injuries, and the absurdity of sports fandom.
• Media Recs
  • Kai shouts out Lorde’s "Solar Power" and Charlie's "Spring Summer 26" [62:28]; Drew raves about Katy Perry's album but warns against listening while sad.

Tone & Style

The episode’s tone is irreverent, often outrageous, but genuinely heartfelt at times. The hosts oscillate between parody and sincerity, with rapid, often circuitous tangents. Their conversations are less about providing life advice than revealing the messy contradictions of being young adults in a hyper-connected, late-capitalist world.

---

Closing

In "Bonnie Drew," listeners are treated to a densely packed, hilariously honest meditation on generational anxieties, consumer obsessions, internet tomfoolery, and the struggle to find meaning (or at least a good laugh) in a world that feels out of control. The dynamic chemistry, vulnerability, and sharp humor make this episode essential listening for fans—no emergencies, just existential amusement.

[Kai]

Well, and they could travel up the

[Drew]

land doing meet and greets and solving crimes. No.

[Robert Smigel]

Like, they're constantly needed at malls,

[Drew]

either for signings or. Because that's where a murder took place.

[Robert Smigel]

[Kai]

I do feel.

[Drew]

Where's my. I do feel a slight bit of euphoria right now.

[Kai]

Me, when I. When I drive down Sunset and subconsciously I read a euphoria.

[Drew]

Billboard. Billboard. Where were you on 9 11? At home, Kai.

[Kai]

I. I was at home.

[Drew]

Wait, you were 24.

[Anthony]

Wherever you exist before you're born.

[Drew]

So wait, I was born in 2011?

[Kai]

No, you were. Wherever you exist, when you come to an early realization that it's time, you should go. Which for you, that was. You were 32.

[Drew]

She was in the primordial swoop.

[Kai]

Primordial swoop.

[Drew]

He was in the primordial Soup.

[Anthony]

I wasn't 32.

[Kai]

Wait, if you were 32 then, how old are you now?

[Anthony]

Well, I wasn't 32 then, so that doesn't even.

[Drew]

Or. 57.

[Kai]

57.

[Anthony]

I. I was six months old when 9. 11 happened.

[Kai]

Hey, don't be ages to yourself, because you only call that kind of humor. Because when's the last time I really was poking fun at you for your age?

[Drew]

Literally three minutes ago.

[Anthony]

Two seconds.

[Drew]

Yeah. No, no, no. Like, before this last episode or whenever

[Anthony]

I last saw you.

[Kai]

Well, it's because more recently, you've been back on a, like, calling yourself old thing.

[Anthony]

No, I haven't.

[Kai]

Oh, am I the one doing it? Am I the perpetuator of this violence?

[Drew]

That part, I think. I think you're learning something about yourself.

[Anthony]

You guys, when I say that part, does that give you chills?

[Drew]

It really scares the out of me

[Kai]

in, like, nature versus nurture way of, like. It's not in my nature to be scared, but I. I know to be scared of that, so I get scared.

[Drew]

It's the killer. It's. It's the killer.

[Anthony]

That part.

[Kai]

Are you showing off your Fitbit? I thought, like. I keep going silent thinking you're gonna lead a conversation. No, he needs someone to ask him, actually.

[Drew]

What was your little thing? My sleep score was an 83 last night. It was an 80 the night before.

[Kai]

They give you, like, easy lobbies and then it goes up the More you wear sleep score. Your sleep score is about to go up.

[Drew]

No, it makes sense. I'm also just, like, a really good sleeper. My sleep score was an 80 the night before.

[Kai]

Dude, what have we done as humans?

[Drew]

We did your alcohol. Hold on, hold on. I did alcohol and still got an 80. And then last night I was stone cold sober and got an 83. So it makes sense. It's tracking the ratio.

[Kai]

It's kind of fucked up. You only went up 3%. Like, what is wrong with you?

[Drew]

True.

[Anthony]

Did you just offer the vape to me?

[Drew]

No. You're psycho.

[Anthony]

Oh, that's my bad. I literally thought that you were pulling that out for me.

[Drew]

Anything for you, Kai. But I got a Fitbit Air. I love it. It's really ugly. And I only wear it to sleep because I only wanted to track it.

[Kai]

I'm not wor now. Because you wanted to show it off.

[Drew]

Exactly.

[Kai]

But why would you want to show that off? Is that, like, a vibey thing?

[Drew]

No, not at. It's, like, actually, like, really gay of me to have this, and it makes my wrist look smaller than it already is. And I'm so insecure about my tiny little baby skinny wrists and my skinny body. Like, I hate how skinny I am. I just can't gain weight, guys. It sucks so bad. I could eat five meals in one day and still not gain weight. It sucks.

[Anthony]

I'm gonna toss this back to you. If your wrists shatter, that'll be the real test.

[Drew]

Oh.

[Kai]

Oh, my God. So you're breaking it.

[Drew]

I was gonna act like my wrist was gonna break, but I was like, I can't.

[Kai]

Are you actually insecure? D. It's actually unbelievable and so beautiful. What we've decided to start to become insecure about because. What do you mean? Your wrists.

[Drew]

It's a man thing.

[Anthony]

It relates little tiny wrists.

[Drew]

No, to not want tiny wrists. Kai, you have nice, girthy wrists.

[Anthony]

You have good wrist genetics.

[Drew]

You have good, like, forearm genetics.

[Anthony]

Wait, whose hands are bigger, mine or yours?

[Drew]

Mine.

[Kai]

You just want him to touch your hands?

[Anthony]

Maybe just a little closer There. Closer.

[Drew]

Oh, wait. That felt good. Actually, I'm deprived of touch right now. That, like, felt good.

[Kai]

There is something a bit jarring about going from, like, getting touched to suddenly it's like, hello, it's the ether. Well, I sleep with you every night. Is that not enough? What more do you want?

[Drew]

I want to be held.

[Kai]

Oh. I'll hold you tonight if you want.

[Drew]

I want it well. Oh, not tonight, baby. Not tonight.

[Kai]

Wow.

[Drew]

Not tonight.

[Anthony]

There's 10 guys coming over later. That's what he's alluding to.

[Drew]

I am.

[Kai]

He's getting a train ran on him. He's about to be packed in his bed with like a sardine with 10 other gay men.

[Drew]

I'm trying out being a blindfolded cum dump. Face down, ass up, door unlocked. They're gonna walk through the front door one by one.

[Kai]

You're gonna be the boy version of what's that girl? Bonnie Blue.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Kai]

Bonnie Drew.

[Drew]

Bonnie Drew. Title. Wait, that's the title? That's the title.

[Kai]

You might know Body Blue, but here is Body Drew.

[Drew]

Wait, where's my jewel?

[Kai]

I'm tweaking. Brb.

[Drew]

It's funny how y' all would be

[Kai]

lucky if I come back.

[Drew]

It's funny how Inya used to make fun of me for that exact same fucking thing. And she becomes the villain. Inya always becomes what she makes fun of.

[Anthony]

What is it? You either live long enough to become Trade.

[Kai]

I'm very aware of it.

[Drew]

What?

[Kai]

Being a hypocrite. I. I unironically welcome it because I would be so.

[Drew]

You're just learning, bro.

[Kai]

Yeah, I'm like, what if I looked back and I was stagnant? I'd kill myself. Cuz that's when your life is the Truman Show. I'll admit to being a fake ass. I'll talk about something and then encounter it, interact with it and change my mind and openly just change my mind. And I don't give a about being wrong or right. Like, what? Like a lot of y' all are scared as fuck for no reason. Like, literally. Either way, someone's going to be mad. So, like, well, as well be mad. And so I spoke too soon. I spoke too soon. Like, that's not a hard thing to admit for me, really. I don't think at this point, especially because I'm like, I literally actively go up to people, especially people who I've disregarded publicly and will just go up to them, be like, hey, by the way, wait, Literally.

[Drew]

Literally at Netflix.

[Kai]

Yeah, but that's not the first time I've done that. I've done that so often. Like, if I see somebody, I'm like, what? Cut to the grown ups.

[Drew]

We're grown ups.

[Kai]

But people I. We're lost in the imbalance. People are trying, like, again, it's like everything. We go like so far that we like, revert back, but then it's double time worse.

[Drew]

You know, I experienced a classic case of the universe having to balance itself. So barbecue. Not yesterday, but the day before. I had the best guacamole I've ever had in my entire life. It was so good. It was so Yummers at Steve's.

[Kai]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Drew]

And it was. I thought you were saying. Wait, wait, wait. That's what I'm saying. I had the best guacamole I've ever had in my entire life. And then the very next day, so yesterday, I was like, oh, that guacamole was so good. I want more guacamole, bitch. The universe has a funny way of finding balance because that was the worst guacamole. Anthony, I love you, but that guacamole was chopped. Like, get it off the table. It didn't even turn brown at all. And it was sitting out for five hours. So that was maybe that came out

[Kai]

of a plastic tub. But the plastic tub with the boba heat press top. Yeah, like, plastic top. The rest of the food was good. And what's crazy is a man is the one who made, I think, all the yummy food. So, like, bad day to be a woman. Honestly, a beautiful.

[Drew]

No, that's a good day to be a woman.

[Kai]

What a great. I just love where we're headed because I. I think I only know, like, one person, and that is Rain, who, for the most part, like, cooks a lot of the food she intakes. Every other woman I know is, like, cook.

[Drew]

It's gonna be.

[Kai]

Wait, is it for, like. Is it like a. Are we at least filming it? No, it just.

[Drew]

Yeah. No, no. It's gonna be a rude awakening for New Trade when they find out that I order every single meal.

[Kai]

You might find that you're walking the same path, because even my family at this point, like, I guess it makes sense because my family went from being a big family where ordering out was. And, like, ordering in was just not a option. You would be spending so much money to feed six people or seven people at one point. Yeah, seven people. Oh, what? That's a fiesta. The, like, that's not.

[Drew]

And then let's go have a siesta. Wait, wait. We had a fiesta and now we're having a siesta fiesta?

[Kai]

Siesta. No.

[Drew]

It has been very siesta pilled the past three days for everyone in my life. Four days. Everyone's been so sleepy all day. Something's going on with the stars. Wait, siesta is like when you take

[Kai]

a nap in the middle of the day? I have no idea. If I'm being honest.

[Drew]

I think a siesta is, like, when you take a nap in the middle of the day after, like work. It's like something like in Spain they do.

[Anthony]

That's what. Yeah, European people do it after every meal. They sleep for eight hours.

[Drew]

See, that's exactly what I need. We need to like bring that to America. See, America's too work pilled. Like we need to like start prioritizing sleep like I am with Everybody needs a Fitbit sleep. A Fitbit air. This is the Fitbit air. I pre ordered vibrates my wrist and it actually like it was vibrating my wrist as the alarm today and it actually like kind of hurt. Like the frequency it reaches like kind of like feels like it's giving me like an embolism. Like I'm like, oh, I'm going to have a fucking like blood clot shoot into my heart from my arm. Like it feels like it's vibrating my veins.

[Kai]

And you're telling people to buy that?

[Drew]

Yeah, well, yes, I think it like actually is like heating my wrist with microwaves. Like when it vibrates.

[Kai]

I, I've said it so many times since the dawn of the pod, but I love it. But now we are reaching a point where I'm actively getting left like being left behind and having. No, I have no idea. Well, I don't think I hit it the whole time it was in my hand. I think I was just like playing with it sometimes I really just like we're disgust. Sorry. I'm not. I'm actually not sorry. I love being disgusting. What was I saying?

[Anthony]

You're getting left behind.

[Kai]

Oh yeah, bro. I literally had a full panic attack yesterday because my computer got. Why I, I don't like, oh, oh my God, everything is too scary. Like I thought I lost everything on my computer and I somehow got like scammed by Apple to like, like buy data and I was like, what am I buying this data for? Like I had no idea what was happening. And then I ended up finding the files and I was like, oh, I actually don't think I need to do files. Oh, maybe I got something in your files.

[Drew]

The, in your files when the India files drop says

[Kai]

it's at that point it's going to be too much to read for that generation because it's going

[Drew]

to be like I watched, I watched India literally like have a full blown conniption fit for three hours because she thought all of her writing over the last like, like year long got wiped from her computer and it was just like auto saving to a folder that she couldn't find on her desktop and she was like, it's all deleted. It's all gone. And I'm like, no, it's not. Like, it wouldn't be saving.

[Kai]

I was so scared. But, yeah, like, that's a.

[Drew]

Didn't Kai wipe your laptop for you?

[Kai]

Yes, but that's why I was like, so scared, because I was like, oh, my God, it's not like a year's worth, but, like, that was like in January or something.

[Drew]

Kai's love language is like, helping with service, with technological. Yeah. Specifically technology. Like, it's really cool.

[Kai]

We have WI fi in our house.

[Drew]

Yeah. Kai, like, strung WI fi cables through our house. He, like, tells me what to buy, when to buy it.

[Anthony]

All the cameras too. It's all me.

[Drew]

Yeah. Wait, which cameras?

[Anthony]

The hidden ones and all the toys. The eyes. Yeah. The Labubu.

[Drew]

Wait, the Labubu in my bathroom.

[Anthony]

That one? Yeah. The Labubu in your bathroom.

[Drew]

The Labubu in the bottom of my toilet? Yeah. I was wondering why that was there.

[Kai]

That's so stupid, bro.

[Drew]

Wait, remember Labubus?

[Kai]

I know, I'm not kidding. I actually was walking through a flea market the other day and I was like, really crazy to think that a year ago from today, it wasn't like a great flea market. It was a very random one that had boosts of random, like, trending things. And I was like, it's crazy to think a year ago today, three of these carts would have been full of, like, Labubus. And there was not a single Labubu to be seen. That's to let you all girls. To let. To let all of us girls know your time is limited.

[Drew]

And can I say something? I think enough time has passed. 24 Karat Gold Labubu was the most unfunny shit I've ever heard.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Drew]

And the way it caught fire with everyone, not just the normies, with everyone, people that I find cool and interesting was really scary. And it felt like a sign of the times for me. And I'm glad we've moved past that as a society.

[Kai]

Also, I'm just a piece of shit. And I can't help but, like, especially I didn't really care for the whole Abubu thing, but I did go to a. A friend's.

[Drew]

Drew Ledger or Labu or Drew Boo Boo or La. Drew. Drew.

[Kai]

But I went to, like, a child's birthday party and seeing kids interact with it really made me side with it. And I was like, oh, this is so sweet.

[Drew]

Like, you know who convinced me of Labubus because.

[Kai]

And you got me a Labubu. And I actually put it on my bag and I seriously wore it.

[Drew]

Yeah, I forgot. I got, like, addicted to Tick Tock. Yeah, we were.

[Kai]

Wait.

[Drew]

I got addicted to Tick Tock. Shock shop auctions and whatnot. Auctions. Like, I was, like, bidding. That was. That was crazy.

[Anthony]

But who.

[Drew]

Who ultimately convinced me because I was like, oh, if, like, this person who I find genuinely so cool, so fascinating, so down to earth can light up any room they walk into, likes Labubu, then, like, maybe there's something to it. And also hers had, like, a Lakers outfit on it. Yeah. Devin liking Labubu changed everything for me. I was like, you know what? Like, I'll. I'll tap into this.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Drew]

But I ended up getting, like, scammed. I think I bought, like, fake Labubos. Like, they had keychains attached to them or something. And, like, letters.

[Kai]

I think they have keychains and stuff attached to them. The little girls who I met at that party were literally explaining to me, which. This was crazy.

[Drew]

I was like, the boo boo Laura.

[Kai]

The overlapping of, like. Like, I can't believe, like, counterfeit culture has reached preteens that they're. Oh, big ass phone call. I'm busy.

[Drew]

The sacrifices we make, guys, for the

[Kai]

podcast, I'm missing a really funny FaceTime right now.

[Drew]

Like, the sacrifices we make to, like, sacrifice.

[Kai]

And obviously it's worth it.

[Drew]

Obviously it's worth it because all of our dreams have come to fruition and

[Kai]

it's gonna continue to just, like, escalate up and up and up.

[Drew]

But we have to remain humber. We have to rem. Remain humber. Because if we're not humber, none of it matters.

[Kai]

Well, yeah, because then you just, like, lost touch with reality. You shouldn't.

[Drew]

Don't lose that. And. And you can't lose perspective because specifically, like, losing. Or perspective. Specifically losing perspective, like, is a really dangerous game to play. Kai, your turn.

[Kai]

You know what's crazy is because

[Drew]

I.

[Anthony]

If you. Yeah, if. So something. Suspect. Suspected. I suspect. No. Yeah, suspected.

[Drew]

That's a word.

[Anthony]

Oh, okay. Then specpective. Well, maybe next time.

[Kai]

Okay.

[Drew]

That was sweet. You made me giggle.

[Anthony]

Oh, that's good.

[Drew]

But yeah, Labubus. Oh, wait, we need to get into these.

[Kai]

It felt like when we first got into, like, street wear and stuff and, like, supreme and vape and all those things where it's like that first level level of consumerism that it is high end because like, at that time for us especially to spend, like, like $50. $50 on a shirt is like, what? Like, that's. And still that's Like, a lot of money for a T shirt, especially if you're buying the resale market. That was, like, the first level of. I remember us having to learn, like, oh, there are bootlegs, and, like, there's ways to identify it. And sitting in the grass.

[Drew]

I got.

[Kai]

Got so bad talking to children about that. For Labubus, they were like, here's how you know if it's fake. And they literally showed me, like, a Google diagram. They had, like, Googled, and they were like, see, the real one has this,

[Drew]

and the big one has, like, the liquor stores. Selling Labo boos was so fascinating.

[Kai]

That was my favorite part, honestly.

[Drew]

Like, I wanted the fake ones.

[Kai]

Yeah, I got a fake chipmunk one, and then his leg fell off.

[Drew]

Yeah, the fake ones are cool, but, y', all, we need to get into these troll dolls. Let's make troll dolls happen. But we can make them happen again. Labuu had a life form.

[Kai]

Why does everything have to happen again? Like.

[Drew]

Like, it doesn't have to happen again.

[Kai]

Let's make something like that.

[Drew]

Yeah. Or no, no, let's make this really popular so I can sell it. Guys, we're auctioning everything off on this shelf.

[Kai]

Oh, this is our stuff. That's, like, our stuff.

[Drew]

I know. We couldn't.

[Kai]

Funny, because every now and then, I'll be looking for a book or a CD or, like, even I think there's a few movies in here. And I'm like, oh, my God.

[Drew]

Speaking of Labubu, I forgot we got the robo dog Labubu. This thing is.

[Kai]

I love these.

[Drew]

Gross. I got them for Ian and Molly, too.

[Kai]

Isn't it fascinating? We're all really locked in on it.

[Drew]

Yeah, the motors are, like, really, like.

[Kai]

So many things about this is unsafe for children.

[Drew]

What's crazy is I got it in Canal Street. I was literally specifically looking for these. If you're into tech, you'll love this. TikTok is a live lab where users post instant reviews of the latest trends. Download TikTok and check it out.

[Kai]

Yeah. Cause that's like a really popular, like cheap toy. Like the first.

[Drew]

Like it's crazy. Like when we were growing up, when we were like eight, that was like expensive. That was like a 200 tour toy

[Kai]

and it was only like a dog.

[Drew]

Yeah, it was a dog or like a robo dog. Do you remember Robo Dog?

[Kai]

I wanted that, so.

[Drew]

Oh my God. And you remember the one, the white one? That.

[Kai]

Yeah. Music and the ears Would like move and like, it would. It had a vibe to it.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Kai]

Like a friend. See, that's where I genuinely think technological advances should have just started, like slowing down.

[Drew]

I mean, if you really think about

[Kai]

it, we haven't gone entertainment technologies. Like technology, not like science. And like all the other that helps

[Drew]

the first person to cure, like find a viable cure or switch for doom scrolling is going to become a billionaire. If you can cure people from scrolling on their iPhones, the cure is building.

[Kai]

And God already did infrastructure.

[Drew]

God did. God already did cure it. It's outside, y'.

[Kai]

All.

[Drew]

Let's go outside.

[Kai]

Because like that's. It's the never ending cycle is like eventually they're going to just start putting money into selling the outside world to people.

[Drew]

Like, they're too tapped into the government to go camping.

[Kai]

Well, we took this Walmart parking lot and filled it with grass and a few trees and you could come and hang out for.

[Drew]

Yeah, true.

[Kai]

Like you're in the woods.

[Drew]

I think we should put a Walmart parking lot in Steve's backyard.

[Kai]

Yes. Yes.

[Drew]

I think he needs that.

[Kai]

He's been working on that backyard a lot too. So he's just fucking.

[Drew]

I think he needs that. I think Anthony's backyard needs a Walmart parking lot. And then we should put a Hobby lobby in ours.

[Kai]

Aw, that's cute. That's cute. Or we'll reopen Joanne's fabrics.

[Drew]

Yeah. Or 7 11.

[Kai]

Ooh. I actually would really fuck with a 7 11.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Kai]

But it can't be 24 7.

[Drew]

But for us, it's in our backyard. It's our 7 11.

[Kai]

It's only for us.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Anthony]

Wait, do you remember that there was something I was trying to find? 7 11.

[Kai]

The beauty is the random people.

[Anthony]

Right before Labubu's, there was another creepy smile thing.

[Drew]

It was that blue sunny angel.

[Anthony]

Yes. What is that?

[Kai]

It's from like a weird game like that. You're being chased by him.

[Drew]

Oh, it's Poppy's Playhouse.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Drew]

My nephews are obsessed with it still. And actually, when my parents were here like a week and a half ago, I got my nephew's Poppy Playhouse blind bags from my Sanrio Hot Topic deal.

[Kai]

That's cute. Should we talk about that Uber?

[Drew]

Oh, my God.

[Kai]

I'm gonna go grab my tool though, because I just realized it's outside. I just.

[Drew]

Wait, I thought you went and grabbed it.

[Kai]

No, I went. I went to grab it and I couldn't find it and I just removed.

[Drew]

But I'm voting for Trump again.

[Kai]

Again?

[Drew]

Yeah, I'm voting for him again. He's bringing back jewel pods. Mango jewel pods.

[Anthony]

I didn't even know that you voted for him a first time.

[Drew]

Well, I voted for Hillary Clinton three times. Me and you did.

[Anthony]

Right, okay, okay.

[Drew]

But.

[Kai]

And that was four.

[Drew]

No, it's three.

[Kai]

Well, okay, yeah.

[Drew]

Or was it four?

[Kai]

That makes sense.

[Anthony]

Might have been four. I feel like we voted a bunch of times. Yeah, we committed a bunch of voter fraud, but the good kind for the,

[Drew]

for a Democrat, for the better thing. But they've constantly failed me and they took jewel pods. Actually, no. Trump took drill pods.

[Kai]

To me, I genuinely think he is dying. And I would put money on the fact that they are just pumping him every single day with like endless Vyvans, vitamins, like supplements to try to just adrenochrome. Because I'm like, he's barely there anymore. Like, he was already barely there. But I'm like, dude, this is like

[Drew]

his skin is a puppet.

[Kai]

This is a human, like flesh sack that someone has like saying, remember when

[Drew]

those photos of Simon Cowell came out and it looked like he was melting off the bone? Like, that's really what Trump is giving right now. Like, I'm seeing these spots pop up on his skin and I'm like, oh, like your liver is failing, your eyes are turning yellow, your skin is withering away. He quite literally has a neck pussy.

[Kai]

And also, have you been seeing how often like his, I mean, he is fading away and like it's becoming very Freudian and just all the thoughts he's thinking, like he used to, I think, weaponize his. Like, I have crazy thoughts. I'm gonna throw it out every now and then to like get people riled up. And now it's just like a never ending loop of that and weird things are slipping in. Like the fact that he is fully just. He's just a pervert in general. Like when he was able to mask as bisexual to the public, like he was able to being like a dick writer and like overly obsessed with women. But now he's not only perverted to women all the time, he's literally every man he sees that he finds attractive. He can't help but just outwardly. I saw a compilation of how many times in the past two weeks he is like, been just literally like, oh, what a body on that man now. That's what a man.

[Drew]

Did y' all see the guy with the belly?

[Kai]

He's like, let's give it up for this man again. What a man that is. And he makes people like clap and cheer for them. Like, I feel like that's the kind of behavior he used to, like, almost do to like women when he saw them. And I'm like, oh, my God, the veil is slipping. And his, like, just pure, unadulterated. Unadulterated bisexual perversion.

[Drew]

Well, that's typically what happens. Like, the, like, people get old and then they are, like, get bored of straight sex. So then they, like, are like, well, let's have an orgy. And the dick accidentally slips into my mouth. But what was I gonna say? My God, People were, oh, did you see Trump? Like, like, talk about. Or the belly button next to Trump? It was like a pregnant man with a really big belly button. He wasn't actually pregnant, but his belly was really around. He was like a feeder. I think he was a feeder kind of.

[Kai]

I know exactly this being like, something y' all have spoken about, but I guess y' all are both low key feeders.

[Drew]

But no, like, I was about to say, like, it was like the chonk bit was like, just purely like a joke for a very long time. And now, like, it's become real to me.

[Anthony]

Oh, yeah. I got dinner with Izzy and Emma yesterday, and I was like, oh, I'm in this funny group chat called Chonk. And they. They didn't even smile. They're like, dude, yeah, we know. You've been talking about this for, like, six months. Like, every time I've been around them, I've been like, oh, I'm in this funny group chat. And they're like, dude, we're actually kind of worried.

[Drew]

It's not a joke anymore. It's like, really, like, rewiring my brain to, like, like, people getting big.

[Kai]

You are the media you consume.

[Drew]

No, you really. And you are not immune to propaganda.

[Kai]

Absolutely no one is. Ho. I be brainwashing myself by accident every day. Like, I genuinely am in the belief that I'm like, so I am happy. The smartest person in my generation.

[Drew]

I have dayshawked.

[Kai]

I'm the first person alive. I know everything, but I just keep it to myself because I like to watch. Like, I'm a crazy person.

[Drew]

So I've experienced this moment, but five years ago, I can't describe it it

[Kai]

because I, since you met me, have been of the mindset that I'm like, so, oh, we are all the greatest people ever.

[Drew]

No, but no, it's different. Like, this is real, like, deja vu. Also, I was stabbed in a past life. I. I was talking about it at the barbecue. I know for a fact that that's how I died. Because I have an irrational fear of being stabbed and I actually need to stop talking about it because I am manifesting it into existence.

[Kai]

No, that's not gonna happen. You're definitely dying of old age and doing what you've always said is gonna happen.

[Drew]

I'm old as.

[Kai]

Yeah, you're gonna be old and just like kind of dipping into being like an overuser of some sort of medication, which honestly, like, what a way to go.

[Drew]

That's what I'm saying. It's gonna be.

[Kai]

Because, like, it's really that at this point. Or you have to like, what, be one of those old farts who's like, not allowing a young person to take your spot in this life? Like, let it all go, boom, boom.

[Drew]

Let it all go.

[Kai]

Take an opioid. But that's my message to 65 year olds and plus who have the means of doing it, because I guess that's. I actually don't know anybody who.

[Drew]

Dude, our voodoo yesterday was fucking insane. So we ubered together home. Well, me and Kai had a cool uhu jobber. He was. We were talking to him about Michael Jackson and he was at Michael Jackson Victory Tour two years. Or he went 1984 New Jersey, and then 1988 he saw Michael again, but then he just casually drops the nuke that he was the original Blue Power Ranger in the pilot episode and that he's also.

[Kai]

Wait, so he wasn't in a season? He was in the pilot?

[Drew]

He was in the pilot, but then he aged out by the time the. It was really sad. And then he's an UVU jobber now, but his main job is a sheriff, which is like. And he was texting and driving and shit. Like, it was crazy. He was literally like texting and driving. Like, I know.

[Kai]

Drew was like, the craziest thing is he was a sheriff and he was texting and driving. I was like, no, Drew, the craziest thing is he's your fucking Uber driver who is a sheriff and is texting. So, like, not only is he supposed

[Drew]

to be like, not even sheriffs can live in this economy. Like, that's really crazy. But. But he did hand us his phone to show us proof of him being Blue Power Ranger.

[Anthony]

And Drew started scrolling through the pictures.

[Drew]

Honestly, I wanted to see what was happening.

[Kai]

I would have done. I'm not.

[Drew]

Because he was kind of hot. Like, no, no, he was.

[Anthony]

No, he wasn't.

[Drew]

He was like 64 year old. Trade y'. All. Have y' all learned nothing about.

[Kai]

I know but like, it's just terrifying because of course we're gonna keep aging so the number is gonna keep going up.

[Drew]

So everything I was talking to someone about that it balances out like once I turn like 45, I'm saying the

[Kai]

attraction like, cuz the older we get, like if you have like just.

[Drew]

Oh, I guess I've always been 14 years old. Like hooking up with 50 year olds, like it's. It's literally not. Not actually, but like kind of.

[Kai]

I just don't think I've ever heard you call a man in his 60s trade. It's always been like 50s is like, oh, crazy trade. But it's gone.

[Drew]

No, I've gone there, baby. I've gone there.

[Anthony]

Yeah. Also in a trailer home, we started. We were like two minutes into the drive. I think it was silent. And then he opened with. Oh, do you like, do you guys like my music? And he's playing Benson Boone and Alex Warren. And we were like, yeah, this is fire. And then he was like, yeah, it reminds me of when I went and saw Michael Jackson in the 80s and it was on the Victory tour. And I just remember thinking, I will never be this loved.

[Drew]

He was like, I will never be this significant. And I was like, aw, don't say that.

[Kai]

What a weird. Okay, so listening to Benson Boone, Alex Warren saying it reminds me of Michael Jackson and how I'll never be important. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

[Drew]

No, I was like, baby, you are. I can make you important. Like, come, come get in bed with me.

[Kai]

Did he say he was hot after this? Or is this like a new revenue?

[Anthony]

I could tell he thought he was hot.

[Drew]

I was like interviewing him.

[Anthony]

Yeah, he kept talking to him. Meanwhile I was just screaming ACAB over and over again.

[Drew]

Yeah, period. Well, no, unironically. When he said that, I was like,

[Anthony]

yeah. It kind of gave me the ick to be honest, because he was really nice at the beginning and then he revealed at the reveal that he was a sheriff.

[Kai]

And that's why he held it in.

[Anthony]

Yeah, I was kind of like, all right, I got the.

[Drew]

Well, no, all acab, all cops are bottom. That was a bottom, baby.

[Kai]

Oh, that's why. That's why your antennas were up. You could sense it.

[Drew]

I'm re entering my top era, period. No, I'm not.

[Kai]

Well then we had an Uber driver. I don't. How did we start talking to him?

[Drew]

Girl, he started talking to us.

[Kai]

Yeah, he was an old guy. He was an old.

[Drew]

It was, it was really. It really wasn't even, like, slightly funny to me. And it was actually, like, really fascinating. The beginning of the thing, like, of our.

[Kai]

No, the beginning of the conversation was amazing. Yeah, it was, like, really interesting. He was talking about his life and how, like, his family has been, like, really within, like, the LA history of it all. And, like, he's watched for what they got. Yeah, like, he's watched his, like, uncles, parents, aunts, everybody, like, not only move up in a society because it was an older black guy. He was just talking about, like, it's crazy because he was built on that. He just has never lost, like, this kind of lust for life, for like, like being like a forward thinker. And he was, like, talking about he never wants to lose that he watched

[Drew]

everybody in their life, like, or in his life, like, win against all odds. And it was. It was really beautiful.

[Kai]

So he had us hooked.

[Drew]

He had us hooked.

[Kai]

This guy has literally lived lives.

[Drew]

And then. And when we got in the car, he was like, God is good. It's gonna hit tomorrow. And immediately my eyebrow raised and I was like, that sounds exactly like.

[Kai]

That's how he got me talking, cuz he said that. And it was like, on Saturday. So I was just like, yes, he is. Yes, yes, it is gonna hit. And I started, like, literally just going on my, like, yeah, spiritual psychosis. And he was drunk and she's like, life is amazing.

[Drew]

And then he started, like, going on this, like, tip about money's coming in for him tomorrow. And I was like, what is he talking about? So I just, like, eventually got to the point where I was like, wait, you keep saying money's gonna hit your account tomorrow. Can you, like, tell me what it is? Because by this point, I was fully well aware that what was happening to him is exactly what happened to my granddad. And he is fully, like, sucked into the dinar scam that ruined my granddad's life. And he started verbatim saying the exact same shit my grandpa was saying, like, it's gonna hit, like, the same verbiage, like, all this shit. And eventually it got to the point where I was like, kind of tearing up. Cause I was like, whoa. Like this. This man just, like, went out three days ago and bought a brand new Tesla because he thinks he's about to become a billionaire tomorrow. So I just, like, finally was just like, hey, man. Like, I know this is, like, gonna be hard to hear, and it's. You're probably not gonna believe it, but this happened to my grandpa and he lost all of his money to this scam it's like it's not real. And God, I pray it's real because we still own all of his dinar. But it's not real, baby. Like, please. And then I also. It was moments.

[Kai]

Yeah. He was like, like I didn't really understand. I just immediately, the second he started talking about, like, went from real life to like the digital fantasy that everyone loses Anya at, I went from being like, yes, yes, yes. To being like, no, no, sometimes you just gotta keep it where, like you got a great life. Like, no, no, no, no.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Kai]

And I think obviously I'm a young random person in his car. So hearing like a young random drunk girl being like, wait, you had me for a second, but now you're starting to sound crazy.

[Drew]

And then like also he hears that from everyone he knows, his life.

[Kai]

It's like, especially younger people around our age, his family.

[Drew]

It's like he hears it from everyone. So it's like. And like he's so in deep that like, like it was just like with my grandpa, like he was so in deep to this scam that it literally like there was no option for it not to be real. So he just literally didn't listen to anybody and it was the same thing. And he started getting kind of aggro and then I like, like he's like a God fearing man. So I kind of like flipped the script and I was like, okay, well, like, don't get too greedy. Like seven deadly sins. Like, don't get too greedy. And he was like, oh no. Like what I have in there is like, I'm not a greedy person. Like, I never get greedy. Like, what I have in there is all I'm going to put in now. And I was like, okay, good. And then when I was getting out of the car, I was like.

[Kai]

I think he mentioned an amount too. And it wasn't like an egregious amount. It was like, okay, okay. Thankfully this is somebody who's obviously even bringing this up with people our age. Because at this point we don't get into a car at 2am and people are like, who are these kids? Or like, who are these two people pushing 30? Like even him bringing it up with us and talking finances with us was definitely like, you're saying he hears this all the time from people our age, I bet. Specifically from his family. Because you are one of the family members who he has interacted with in his own family, if that makes sense. So like, like, yeah, it's good to know that like, okay, this is grounded in reality. That he still has some sort of like anxiety about. Okay, maybe, but me, I'm already like this amount in. But like, maybe my grandkids are right.

[Drew]

Yeah. Cuz like the, the whole theory of the scam is like you buy these like now defunct currencies and then like war happens and it skyrockets. Like the price of like. So like you can buy like 10,000 dinar for US$1 and then dinar, it's like a currency in the Middle East. I don't even know if, I truly don't even know if it's actually real. But he also bought Venezuelan dollars which have like crashed in price. But you can buy like $1. US$1 worth of dinar is like 10,000 dinar. And the belief is like, oh, once dinar hits a. Because it's like.

[Kai]

And that. But that's based on war has to happen essentially some sort of economic like.

[Drew]

Yes. And. But the people like ushering the scammer, like, okay, like in a week, like Trump is going to lift the tariffs and open the strait of vermouth and then the dollar is going to spike and it's going to become. Your $1 is going to become $10,000. So if you have $4,000 in it, that's $4 billion or whatever the conversion is. So like, like my grandpa literally thought he was a billionaire. Like, and like it was so sad and so sweet at the same time. Like he would be like, drew, like, I know you're like the creative type and like, I know like one day you want to create like movies or TV shows. And like once the denar hits, like trust and believe. I'm setting up a fund for you and I'm like funding all of your passion projects. And I was like, that is so sweet. But like, please stop putting money in it. Like, please.

[Kai]

Hey, so that's so sweet. It's not real though.

[Drew]

Yeah, but they just have to believe it.

[Kai]

Yeah, I mean, it's like how like two episodes I, I was saying that no one on this planet is going to actually know peace until everybody knows how to deal with like an addiction. Like somebody riddled with addiction. And even that, that's like it. That's a neverending, changing relationship of how you have to navigate it. And to me that's one of those things. Like, that's why I say everything is an addiction because you have to stop it. It has to literally just who needs to stop the action? It can't be because like their family's telling them a friend's Telling them it literally has to just. This motherfucker wakes up one day, is

[Drew]

like, I've ruined it.

[Kai]

That's just how it has to happen.

[Drew]

Oh, fuck, I botched this one.

[Kai]

Okay.

[Drew]

But yeah, eventually he got to the house and he was starting to argue with us. So I was just like, okay, he's not gonna listen to us. So ultimately I was just like, okay, well, like, if it hits tomorrow, don't forget about me. Like, do not forget about me. And he was like, oh, when it hits, just call my number. Say you left your phone in there and call me and I'll give you some money. I'll make sure you're right. And I was like, okay, cool. Thanks, man. And then he went on his way. And I will say it was the worst ride of my life. Not because of the conversation, actually quite enjoyed the conversation, but just physically being in that car. He just got a Tesla and has regenerative of braking. And like, he doesn't understand the concept of like keeping your foot on the gas because if you lift up on the gas, like in a Tesla, it slams on the brakes. So it was just like the entire ride, like for like 15 minutes, glitching.

[Kai]

Who says renting can't feel like home? Make your rental feel like yours.

[Drew]

It all starts with one scroll.

[Kai]

Download TikTok to discover easy home decor ideas. Number one hits millions of records sold awards sold out tours. You think the Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope. It's podcast time.

[Drew]

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.

[Kai]

Hey, Jonas is available now and their first guest is a big one, Paul Rudd.

[Robert Smigel]

You know, Steve Carell is a great singer, let me tell you not to

[Kai]

audition the Office or something.

[Robert Smigel]

I told him we were filming Anchorman. Clearly I was the idiot. Thank God he.

[Drew]

He didn't listen to me, right?

[Kai]

Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Robert Smigel]

Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy not quite on Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Dave Attell to David Letterman help make you funnier. On this episode. My guests, Bob Odenkirk and kids in the the halls. Bruce McCullough, try and help the Kazoo kid and Tayon Day be famous again. You know people love alternate universe shows, right? Those are very big right now. What if there's an alternate universe show where you guys are incredibly popular?

[Kai]

Well, and they could travel up the

[Drew]

land doing meet and Greets and solving crimes?

[Kai]

No.

[Robert Smigel]

Like they're constantly needed at malls,

[Drew]

either for signings or because that's where a murder took place.

[Robert Smigel]

Humor me with Robert Smigel and friends from iheartmedia and big money players. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Kai]

Hey, I'm Gerard Adono. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out help on the Internet.

[Drew]

Help somebody.

[Kai]

But there's so much more to me than that. I'm an actor, I'm a comedian.

[Drew]

And recently, I've become quite the helper myself.

[Kai]

And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions. Psych. I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice.

[Drew]

Join me and my comedian friends as

[Kai]

we riff, rant and recommend some of the most legally dubious advice twice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice.

[Drew]

One ring is too scary.

[Kai]

Cream of chicken soup.

[Drew]

Hey, cream.

[Kai]

Cream of chicken soup. This is help from a hypocrite. The worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to help from Hypocrite as part of the Mike Kultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Drew]

Yeah, it was. It was really intense and he didn't know where the hazards were, so I gave him a little tutorial.

[Kai]

Oh, and also he didn't. There was no service where he picked us up, so we were like, kind of having to direct him because he also didn't really know how to use the gps. GPS in there yet.

[Drew]

But it was just, like, really sad. It was honestly just ultimately really sad. And it made me feel really bad for him. And I hope he can give that car back and not take too big of a loss, because I fully believe he bought that car because he thinks he's about to be a billionaire. I mean, maybe it'll make him hungry.

[Kai]

I have no idea, dude. I'm like, dude, how hungry should you be at that age, though?

[Drew]

No, for real.

[Kai]

Like, we all have a hunger, but to what end? When does your hunger become a binge eating disorder? And baby, I've been there. It's not fun. My stomach hurts all the time.

[Drew]

Like, bloated.

[Kai]

Like, it hurts. Like, just stop at one point. But I guess also, like, that's coming from a place of. I would. I Can only pray. Oh my God. I can only pray that when I'm 65 I'm not in a position where I have to still be hungry and finding reasons to hustle and bustle. But I think as long as like I'm living in America, that's probably going to be. I mean as long as I'm living anywhere really like no matter where you go, you kind of can't escape that. Everything is consumed by like the never ending hamster wheel.

[Drew]

Capitalism baby. Capitalism. Doom scrolling and algorithms

[Kai]

period.

[Drew]

Good luck, babes.

[Kai]

You know what's crazy though is I still don't know or I guess maybe because I've just rotted my timeline down to like such specific things. It's like that video of Azalea Banks getting ran up on.

[Drew]

I love Judy Jupiter. I love Judy Jupiter. That's the same girl that did Loewe, remember? Yeah.

[Kai]

She's been doing it. Like she's also the one who did the. She. Sabrina had a similar reaction.

[Drew]

I'm just like no, Sabrina was like, she was like, she put up with it. Like I, I love.

[Kai]

Well I think Sabrina was just actually confused and I think Azalea was confused and scared.

[Drew]

She was scared.

[Kai]

She was scared.

[Drew]

She's literally just like a post rage baiter.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Like ultimately that's what it is and like, like that's not me absolving her of her sins. Like what she's saying is like not good. But like guys, come on. Like we have to start being able to see through like people who actually mean what they say and people who say things to get a reaction and

[Kai]

spark a conversation because they just want some to be. They just want to talk some shit.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Anthony]

You can categorize it as. I feel like a lot of people, individuals that are like this are kind of categorized under performance art, you know.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Anthony]

Where it's like trolley online but there is a level of self awareness to it but that it's not necessarily like gonna get rid of the negative aspect of what they're doing. But it's not just a completely insane person, just whatever on the Internet. What I am frustrated with is like I always feel like there's these people that are doing this. Like I feel like there's so many others. I can't think of any others right now but other people typically online or it's like Kanye, like when he went through like that whole thing. It's like they will categorize it in some ways or they will insinuate that it's performance art. But why, why don't performance artists ever

[Drew]

do the right thing?

[Anthony]

Become the president as performance art and then, like, give us all universal healthcare.

[Drew]

Exactly. It's literally. It goes down to, like, the psychology of a comment section. It's like, like, okay, a thousand good comments. One negative comment, you're gonna see the negative comment. It's like, the same philosophy where it's like, we are incentivized to interact with and speak about negative things by the algorithm, but it's just interesting when it's rewired. All of ours Brains.

[Kai]

Yeah.

[Anthony]

Imagine if Kanye was like, instead of printing out a million swastikas, I'm gonna get, like, a medical degree as performance art and then cure endometriosis for women.

[Kai]

Well, like, a lot of other people do that too, in weird ways of performance art. Like, Kim Kardashian did the performance art of, like, she was going to be a lawyer for five years. Like, she kind of was, like, wanted that baby. We all want a lot of things,

[Drew]

but she didn't get it.

[Anthony]

Now, wait, did she fail the test?

[Drew]

Yeah, I think you can.

[Kai]

So many goddamn times.

[Drew]

I think you can only fail at a certain amount of times.

[Kai]

And I think she did it more times than you were allowed to take it. Like, I think it was four times

[Drew]

she did it, dude. Honestly, like, I'm, like, very pro Kim Kardashian right now, because I just, like, saw this clip of her a couple weeks ago of her just blatantly being, like, my only goal is to get famous, and I love the way a paparazzi camera flash feels on my skin, and I want that forever. And she went out and became the most famous person in the world. And there is something to that that. I don't know determination or what, but, like, it is really fascinating to me that, like, you really can put your mind to something, but I guess and achieve it.

[Kai]

Like, this, to me, goes back to extremes, though, because even, like, an Azalea and a Kanye, I'm like, I think they can get away. Like, get away, quote, unquote. Same way Kim can, with all this, like, behavior that's erratic because it's like, okay, you have a chunk of your career where you genuinely were on a. A crazy, almost extraterrestrial e. T. Read all about it. Run of life. Whether it becomes, like, for Azalea, she's always been this, like, outspoken woman who's like, has a lot of takes that are based in a reality that a lot of people objectively to say out loud, she's a great artist. She's like, literally set the foreground for so many people. But then, okay, it's. At one point it's like, okay, so then, like, you're not really making music as much anymore. You're not really a part of the zeitgeist. Like, what are you giving in terms to, like, have the allotment? Like, it's just like, okay, at one point. Why not just stop when it's good? And that's how I even think about it. Kim K. I'm like, yeah, I can't help but laugh at you being a lawyer, because I was like, you were doing that in the CEO of it all. Like, that was like, nothing more than another level to the CEO and, like, to me. Me as somebody who, like, I don't know. In my head, I'm like, I don't know. Our president is already a reality host, and now with the face of, like,

[Drew]

women lawyers in la.

[Kai]

Oh, my God. Yeah. Like, it's just it again. It gets to a point where I think it's, like, starts to become, like, mockumentary. And there are, like, I. I would say to me, an Azalea and Kanye live in the performance art of it, because it's like, less Kanye, because Kanye makes so much money off of being a. Like, that. Like, that is like, a huge part of his ability to be in the zeitgeist right now is just being a. And being awful. But, like, in Azalea, to me, I'm like, that's true performance art. Because at what cost?

[Anthony]

What are you getting out of it?

[Kai]

Like, what? Like, what are you getting out of this? Like, what is wrong with anybody? But, yeah, I think it's just, like, an extremes thing. But was she like, do you think she's gonna try to. Like, what do you do after failing to be a lawyer with all that time spent?

[Drew]

I have no idea.

[Kai]

Like, fire your own lawyers.

[Drew]

She's the one of the richest people on planet Earth. Like, she truly can do whatever she wants, except for be a lawyer. Actually. Actually, maybe she can. She maybe actually can become a lawyer, but I think she just already achieved her dreams. And I think, like, everything is just like a cherry on top at this point for her.

[Kai]

Yeah, but I'm always. I was watching. What was I watching yesterday? Oh, the game with you. The fucking spurs game.

[Drew]

The spurs won last night, y'. All.

[Kai]

Drew was so happy. He was really tweaked out about missing the first half.

[Drew]

Yeah, I missed. I was driving home when Victor Wembanyama hit the half court shot and my phone blew up. And it never blows up about basketball. And it blew up about basketball. And I was like, when I'm not watching, this always happens. And then I got home and watched the game and watched them curb stomp them.

[Kai]

It was awesome. Who cut their finger?

[Drew]

Chet Holmgren. Get him out of there.

[Kai]

Not on the Spurs.

[Drew]

Not on the Spurs. Get him out of there. He's a danger. He's dangerous.

[Kai]

Yeah, he literally just got up off the couch and started saying that. He was like, he's a danger. He's a danger. He's literally bleeding all over the court. He's going to give somebody something.

[Drew]

Because if he's not down there, when Benyama can do his fucking thing throughout the game.

[Anthony]

And then also, Andrew. Andrew Bartfeld can't do a three at the end of the game, too, because obviously the defense is going to push and then Casey Anthony is going to come around the back end. Right? Because also. Yeah, because the fucking court side of the court. And I was thinking the same thing. Exactly.

[Drew]

Wait, you're right, though, right? Yeah, you're right. Casey Anthony can. Who. Have you ever seen the clip of her playing basketball?

[Kai]

No. Is there actually a. Oh, I believed you. You said that with, like, a lot of conviction.

[Drew]

I'm an actor, baby.

[Kai]

You're a star.

[Drew]

This is performance art.

[Kai]

I mean. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Drew]

This is extreme.

[Kai]

Yes, yes, Tweety. Yes. Yes, Tweety. Tweety.

[Drew]

Yes. Have y' all seen that new clip of Britney Spears talking about Slurpee lasagna in her pool? No, no. Talking about Slurpees.

[Anthony]

No, no.

[Drew]

Oh, I thought you were talking about, like. I saw a video that was like, Britney Spears dui.

[Kai]

Dui. And she was like, guys, guys, no. Just. Just come to my house. I have a pool and I can make lasagna. What's up, world? So I'm about to go see Devil Wears Prada, too. I personally prefer Chanel or Gucci. But, yo, if the devil says Prado, I guess we should listen, right? Anyways, I came with the butter popcorn and Slurpee. Yeah, Slurpees. Yes, man. Yes. Yes.

[Anthony]

Oh, I thought that. Why was that giving Josiah's tik tok?

[Drew]

I know. That's literally. I need Josiah to make a TikTok.

[Kai]

You know what's crazy is that was lowkey. What? Being raised by my mom was like, that's exactly like the type. Type shit my birth mom was on. And I was like, slurpees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then putting on the Tenacious D CD because she and my dad were Obsessed with that movie, and she would let us listen to it.

[Drew]

I love that we had that same common thread in our childhood.

[Kai]

It's why we're annoying. Yeah.

[Drew]

Yeah. And then she says, prado. If the devil says wear prado, then I guess you have to do it.

[Kai]

I'm more of a Chanel or Gucci girl, But if the devil says wear prado, go for it.

[Drew]

Guess you got to do it.

[Kai]

The devil made me do it.

[Drew]

The devil made me do it. The devil made me do it. And then that one Enoch guy that got choked on TikTok. Oh, girl, you know I know what you're talking about.

[Kai]

I'm thinking of the Star wars thing. That was like moonwalking and humping someone's leg on the morning show.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah. This is what I'm talking about.

[Kai]

Feels like to be strangled to death. First you feel the pressure in your throat start to taste something very sour in your mouth. It's crazy how that would have scared the out of me if I was 8 years old.

[Drew]

And this was. This unironically was revolutionary. Like what Enoch True did for culture in general. And I'm not even joking. Like, his videos back then were so advanced. Like, for real advanced.

[Kai]

And that phone is far too big for your hand.

[Drew]

I know. I know.

[Kai]

Because you are literally like, I'm watching your four fingers go up and down your phone so you can talk to

[Drew]

the top of it. Fucked up. Sorry. I accidentally sent the video to you. I'm meaning to send them to cut, but Enoch True really advanced for the time.

[Kai]

I need to find this video that I was like this morning. Drew was so sleepy, but I was trying to. How do I see what I liked, Bro? Should we get into some media?

[Drew]

Yes.

[Kai]

Oh, I saw Obsession. Very good. Oh, wait, I said that on the last episode.

[Drew]

Thinking of you, Katy Perry. That whole album. That whole album is really good. But don't listen to it if you're sad.

[Kai]

What would I do when my movie. Oh, I saw Begonia a Late to the party. It was good. It was good. I don't think I've watched any other movies since then. I've been movie less and I've been listening to. Oh, my God. I was. I had a morning with the Lord's discography because it's that time of year when solar power goes back on rotation. Listen. The birds in the cicadas. I love her. Ow.

[Drew]

MDMA in the backseat of my cardigan.

[Kai]

Oh. Oh, my God. Oh. And I also love spring summer 26 by Charlie.

[Drew]

Oh, spring summer 20 dude, Kai texted me SS26 is actually so sick. And I thought he was just like talking generally about his spring summer this year in the big old 2026. And I was like, period says yes. And then I would probably an hour later saw the music video and heard the song and was like, oh, this is what he's talking about. We didn't do what we were gonna do.

[Kai]

No, we're gonna do it.

[Drew]

Okay. Is it too late now? Maybe?

[Kai]

No. Yeah, we didn't do it early last time. We were early to the curb in

[Drew]

general, per use always.

[Kai]

Which is a curse culturally, always early, physically, always late. Clock it. It's the Christopher Columbus left in me. Oh, I just can't help but keep searching for the next thing. Except I, I, I. The, the Latin part balances it out. And it's like I'm more Christopher Columbus in the way that I loved to convince media, but I have self restraint because I'm not some nasty, purebred, mutt glutton white person. I'm so sorry. Because honestly, the only path to unity is I actually don't feel like that about white people. I don't. I have a lot of white people. I really love you.

[Drew]

I'm not white, baby. I'm spicy white, Josiah. But I'm gay, so it's like I'm white but gay. Which actually is even worse than just being straight and white, in my opinion.

[Kai]

Well, that's. You guide me through with all your power, power and your privilege. And then like your oppression stops you from being too crazy. And everything has its balance. Everything.

[Drew]

I'm telling you. I am telling you there is a balance for every good thing that happens to you, expect a bad thing to

[Kai]

happen, and that's okay.

[Drew]

It's always balance.

[Kai]

Bye. If you're struggling with OCD like I do and have in the past, I think NOCD is a great option to find a licensed therapist who specializes specifically in OCD. There therapy is 100 virtual covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans. And they provide support between sessions so you're never facing OCD alone. If you have OCD and you're looking to get therapeutic help, make sure you

[Drew]

try no CD book a free 15 minute [e-mail] that's n o c d dot com. Yes you can. A five minute quick and easy calorie burning workout out. Give it a try. Come join our sweat sesh on TikTok. Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.

[Kai]

I'm Joe.

[Drew]

I'm Kevin and I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We. We just contributed to it. First people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strange wrong way to put it, but you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
