Almost a little chilly in the shade. Now let's get a read on the

[Josie]

inside of your car.

[Drew]

It is hot.

[Josie]

You've only been parked a short time

[Drew]

and it's already 99 degrees in there. Let's not leave children in the backseat while running errands. It only takes a few minutes for

[Josie]

their body temperatures to rise and that could be fatal.

[Drew]

Cars get hot fast and can be deadly. Never leave a child in a car. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council from Disney and Pictures Star Toy Story is back. I came here as fast as I could. It's been too long. Cowboy featuring Taylor Swift's All New Song I knew it.

[Josie]

I knew you.

[Drew]

I remembered I loved you.

[Josie]

Came back when it mattered.

[Drew]

I saw you. Our mission on this planet is to

[Josie]

[Josie]

Welcome to this podcast. It's a podcast. We're just catching up. I need to start off by saying one, we have the. What's the water filter? We have pure water.

[Drew]

I don't know. It tastes like I'm drinking beetles, though.

[Josie]

Yeah. Every time it stop. The filter isn't working when the water tastes like beetles, and it literally tastes like somebody smushed beetles. But for some reason, right now, it's kind of a vibe. I'm liking my beetle water. 2. JoJo Siwa did accrue cruise.

[Drew]

I know. I've been keeping up.

[Josie]

I love her. Like, we have genuinely. I. I'm really sure historically have ridden for JoJo, but, like, her doing that cruise just made me so happy because I'm like, wow, she for real just loves cruises.

[Drew]

She loves cruises. She loves her fans. She loves. She e. Oh, making money. Exactly. She loves making money.

[Josie]

She is a capitalist beyond anything else. Like, first. First she's capitalist, then she's bi. Curious.

[Drew]

Then she's a she e. Oh, she is a queen. But that cruise has been cracking me up because I'm like, who is the demographic of this cruise? I don't know if you.

[Josie]

I know. I couldn't tell. I went on a really deep dive of it, and it didn't seem like anyone was there with sarcastic and, like, evil intent, which I was against grownups, too. Yeah, it makes sense, because realistically, you would have to be a psychopath to, like, be a chronic hater of somebody and pay to be out in the middle of the ocean with them.

[Drew]

Yeah. But it would. It would also be, like, hilarious, like, content to create. But what I thought it was when I saw her creating or promoting this cruise is I thought it was like, a boat. And every single soul on that cruise was there for JoJo Siwa. But it was, like, just, like, 200 people there for JoJo Si. While doing JoJo Siwa themed events. And then a rest of a boat with, like, 5,000 people that had no idea that JoJo was going to be on their boat. And so I seen, like, clips of, like, people from, like, the balconies, interior balconies, like, filming.

[Josie]

I really wish your cruise incident happened on that boat. I wish that was the boat. I want to be on the boat where it happened. The.

[Drew]

How old is Joo?

[Josie]

Huh?

[Drew]

How old is JoJo?

[Josie]

I think she's only, like, 22, 23. She's. She's a baby.

[Drew]

Yeah. She's a young. And she's married. She's married I think she's married to that boy. Wait, let me make sure. Is JoJo Siwa married? Currently in a relationship? Oh, maybe. Oh, wait. They discussed their plans for a potential future engagement. Wait, it looks like there's another Siwa added to the family. And just like that, there's another Siwa added to the family. Congratulations to my brother. No, her brother got married. Yeah, her brother got married on my birthday.

[Josie]

That would be crazy. On your birthday, not them trying to steal your shine.

[Drew]

I know. It's.

[Josie]

That's why your birthday post didn't get the. The numbers it usually would get.

[Drew]

Because post on my birthday.

[Josie]

Oh, yeah, you didn't, Huh?

[Drew]

I don't post on Instagram.

[Josie]

I feel like. I mean, same it. I just. I. I've, like, hit this weird wall. I'm trying to unbreak it, and I'm trying to get back to sharing things, but. But like, the past year and a half, I think I just liked doing things for myself.

[Drew]

Yeah. Which I've always been obsessed with.

[Josie]

But I. I just, like, I got detached from po posting.

[Drew]

Literally. Like, I have started viewing it in such a bizarre way where I'm like, this is fun. This is cool. But, like, posting pictures on Instagram, like, for me right now, and, like, hopefully it changes soon. It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm like, what do. What are we doing? Like, why are we doing this? Like, even people that it's like, not their career to post on Instagram, I'm like, conf. By, like. Like, the ego that's a part of that. Like, it just doesn't make sense to me. And, like, I really want to break that cycle because, boy, do I have some things to share. But it just feels so bizarre.

[Josie]

It's like everything. Look at me, look at everything. Feels like it's just drowning in cynicism. So it's easy to be like, oh, my God. Like, even I'm like, how many more lifestyle carousels can I look through? Do I really want to add to this?

[Drew]

Yeah. I also don't even use Instagram like that. Like, I don't.

[Josie]

Same thing.

[Drew]

I just, like, I, like, literally barely open the app anymore. Like, I have, like, a close friend story that I post to sometimes. But even that, like, feels weird. I don't know.

[Josie]

I feel like I infamously haven't used Instagram as much post like, 2017 as in, like, or maybe 2019, 2020. After that. I just kind of like, I just, like, fell out of love with posting on there. But I do. Like, I will Say, maybe a way to shift it is thinking more so about the fact that everybody's kind of engaging a public blog of some sort. And it does come with scary.

[Drew]

The way Steve Lacy uses Instagram is awesome.

[Josie]

Like, people. There are still people who are. It really is a social network. But I know you're in your Drew. Am I?

[Drew]

You're in your.

[Josie]

Am I your baby?

[Drew]

Well, guys, that last episode where I told the crazy story about being stalked on the cruise ship, it reached my family, obviously. I knew it would, but shockingly, my older sister just found out that I was gay. Put the pieces together, I guess. I don't know. But that was really, really shocking.

[Josie]

There's something kind of beautiful about that because this is a sister who also, like, she lit. Like, to me, I feel like I get along with Jody because we're both people who, like, we are not unintelligent, but we genuinely do kind of live in our own bubbles. And, like, it takes a lot. Like, I feel like I have a lot of stuff like that. It takes me so long for me to be like, oh, okay.

[Drew]

Like, yeah, okay.

[Josie]

But that. No, I don't under. I really don't understand. Yeah, I'm also confused because then I'm like, why didn't she think we were just date dating? I don't.

[Drew]

Like, I don't know. But she texted me this long thing about, like, she was like, I'm so, like, hurt that you wouldn't tell me, but I'm so proud of you and, like, I love you and da da da, da, da, da, da, da, da. By the way, like, I did not intentionally withhold that information. I just never came out to anyone. I just, like, talk about my sex life sometimes and, like, my family, like, gets to learn. But, yeah, my sister found out I was gay because I had sex on a cruise and was stocked.

[Josie]

And then you got sent this hoodie.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah. I love the church app.

[Josie]

This is the worldly app. This is the world app. It's the world.

[Drew]

This is for connecting the world for the church. Grinder sound effect Grinder sound effect Grinder

[Josie]

sound effect this is the world. This is the world. Grinder sound effect Grinder sound effect what was I gonna say? Yeah, I just wish that happened on that cruise.

[Drew]

What?

[Josie]

Your incident. I wish it happened on the JoJo seawall cruise.

[Drew]

Oh.

[Josie]

I was kind of confused, though. That does make more sense because I was like, damn. Honestly, can't cruises hold, like. Like, you were saying, like, 5,000 passengers? Like, don't play with her. She fully has I mean, if her audience was older, she could pack out a cruise.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Josie]

Because she has the fans.

[Drew]

It's just like I saw like the opening day, like concert situation thing, um, and there were like a hundred people in like a space the size of our living room. And it was like, it kind of made me sad. But then at the same time I'm like, I don't know if JoJo has ever or will ever feel like embarrassed or sad or not enough. And that's why I like the girl. I'm like, bitch. She has the greatest brain chemistry of all time.

[Josie]

I know. There is just a true die hard passion for self love there that I think she was naturally born with. Because also she's been publicly brutalized and humiliated since she was like a child in a lot of ways. But there's obviously so much like greatness within her discography of a career. But for a large part of the population, she's always been kind of a punching bag. Which you know what? Let me not get too crazy on, because I've punched a few bags in my life. I've punched a few bags.

[Drew]

And that snatch is spoiled.

[Josie]

That's not what you said.

[Drew]

And you snatch a spoiled.

[Josie]

Is that what you said?

[Drew]

Spoiled gash.

[Josie]

Ew. Ew. That's not what you said. Spoiled something.

[Drew]

No, I think it's the snatch is spoiled. The spoiled snatch.

[Josie]

It's that it's just not hitting the way it did in the car. In the car. That felt magical in the car. When you said that, I just couldn't believe you had such a way with words. And now I'm really.

[Drew]

And your snatch is spoiled. That's it. That's it.

[Josie]

Oh yeah, it is. It is, it is. Oh, white people are thirst trapping while making fishing lures right now, by the way. They're like, they're like putting the thing in and they're like.

[Drew]

Those are like my favorite. Some of my favorite videos where they're tying up the fly fishing lures.

[Josie]

Yeah. Is that like a thing? Has it ever been like thirst tropified or is that.

[Drew]

This is a first timer and they've. They've been hyper edited where I'm like, whoa, these people should be editing movies because, like, this looks incredible.

[Josie]

I know. Classically just editors, film fans for no. Fans for no capitalistic goals who are editing things usually are like, wow, you

[Drew]

could do an Oscar film like for the game. Or back rooms that like, take this L song like Fortnite duh duh duh duh duh duh for the Captain Jack or whatever the. His face is in Back rooms. And it's one of the best edits I've ever seen. It's so sad.

[Josie]

Have you seen Back Rooms?

[Drew]

Yeah, I saw back shots. We talked about it last episode.

[Josie]

I haven't seen it, so I'm really gonna see it. I just want it to be on the tv. Yeah, I sadly, like, I am one of those people who. I don't go to the theater as often as I should. And it is up. It is really up. I'm a. A consumer of movies. Like, I watch movies really often and regularly, but I don't go to the theater.

[Drew]

Yeah, no, you need to pop out more because we got Odyssey coming. We got Dune coming. I still haven't seen a session. I'll see you, but I wish Kai was here for this, but me and Kai have waited almost an entire year to see Disclosure Day. Like, we. The second we saw the trailer, we were like, we gotta go see that shit. Like, that's special. Because, like, Steven Spielberg doing Aliens. Classic. Hello. Like, this is gonna be major. And, like, it's one of his last movies. Like, he's going to put his whole pussy into this movie. Steven Spielberg's putting his spoiled snatch into Disclosure Day. Like, that should be the headline because that movie was doo doo cocka garbage shit. But I was honestly really underwhelming. Yeah, no, it was. It was really, really, really. It was, like, directed incredibly. Like, it looked cool. And there were a bunch of like, whoa, like, look how in sync they are moments. And whoa. This camera transferred from a crane to being handheld seamlessly. Like, that's gaggy. But the plot and the script and the dialogue was really bad. Josh o' Connor is the sexiest human being on this planet. I've decided, especially after that movie. He's so fine. He, like, killed his role. Everyone that was acting, like, did really, really well with what they were given. It was just like, oh, an Alien movie that shows 15 minutes of aliens. Like, girl. What?

[Josie]

I also, like. I'm not kidding. I hate to be that person, but I've always said it. I just have a hard time with new age sci fi because I was. I grew up in a sci fi fan household. Like, I watched all of Lord of the Rings, all of Star Wars. Like, my family loved those series. I watched, like, all of the Alien movies, like Alien vs. Predator, like, movies, Transformers, but, yeah, my parents did love that, but the Terminator movies and everything. And I genuinely just crave to see something that I am, like, oh, my God, they Brought something to life. And it's not digital because to me, I'm like, that said the part of it, the movie magic, like also like,

[Drew]

we are now living in sci fi. So like half the that that they say, like, whoa, this could happen. Like it's literally already happening. And actually Earth is like a living hell. And like whatever you can imagine, like, oh, look how bad the future is going to be if we like continue down this path. No, baby, it's happening now. It's happening now. Like we are living in sci fi. But I'm happy.

[Josie]

I know there are things to be happy about. I mean, something. Wait, what song was playing in my head earlier? No, I'm thinking of it's the end of the world as you know it. And I'm like, oh my God. They literally. People have always thought the world was ending, to be fair. And I want to make it clear so nobody thinks. I'm like not aware that the world is genuinely crumbling because our oceans are heating up. Everything is hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Yes, I'm very aware of that. And also ongoing wars. But like, I don't know, I'm like, guys, things have always been bad. Let's.

[Drew]

No, I've said that.

[Josie]

Be happy.

[Drew]

I've been saying that we need to go camping to reground ourselves with nature. I think that's really the next thing, because I'm.

[Josie]

Reground yourself.

[Drew]

I'm feeling a little like spooked. And every time I go camping, I come back and I'm like, oh, everything's gonna be okay. It's okay up there. It can be okay down here too. I drank a little Red Bull before this and you know, I've been describing myself as living behind my eyes recently. And I think that's like the best way to describe just my day to day. Like when we were driving to that shoot this morning, I was like, oh, am I like back to being derealized, depersonalized? Like when I was 16, 17, and I've just been in it for so long that it's become my new norm. Yeah, Trigger warning on those words. That was like the worst ever. But that was like induced by like hallucinogens. Like that wasn't.

[Josie]

I. I do know what you mean though. I. I do think we have had and I think everyone. But it's like what we were talking about that one episode where we are just becoming adults in the sense that it's like, oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Drew]

Like it's never ending.

[Josie]

Everything is never Ending. And also everything does just like domino effect into one and wait.

[Drew]

Everything is beginning and ending. Wait. I've been noticing that.

[Josie]

But I feel you because I feel like it's just been a gnarly three years or it was like I, for me personally, I don't want to speak for you. I think 2024 and 2025 were really dense years for me interpersonally, like family wise, romantically. I had friends like every. I was really seeing every facet of like not only my own bad habits, but was like overly attached to in the way I move through the world and my relationships and work life, blah blah, blah, blah. I had to go through all that. So then mid-2025 to like just march. I feel like I was living behind my eyes as well. If that makes sense of just like, okay, I'm just gonna like look at the brighter side of my life. I am really grateful for everything I have, but I'm just like kind of getting lost in a loop of comfortability because I'm so terrified. Because I can't help but indulge in cynicism because it' not even cynicism anymore. It's just reality.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Josie]

And then I think about. But then I do think about my parents and how they had kids. At this point I'm like, dude, they were feeling like this with kids.

[Drew]

I know. So no.

[Josie]

And I am really lucky. And yeah, I think, let's jump drive that heart, girl. Also, we live in an abundance of things and also AI like we're just living in a world where it's like, well, why do I even want to put my, my body and soul into creating something? Which sounds so like.

[Drew]

No, it's true.

[Josie]

But it is real. To be a front forward, to be a front facing person, especially in any sort of creative field, to any degree, does mean sitting with yourself, exploring parts of yourself and then seeing how you can like use that to explore other people and observe other things and then be able to make commentary on it, whether it's saying it up front or in some funny way or in like an artistic way, blah, blah. So I think a lot of people are feeling kind of like a creative burnout. And like you even think about movies, like, yeah, everyone is sitting for the sequels, the sequels, the this, the that. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I do think it's. Again, I've said it before, it's like, myself included, we all have over consumption issues. And I think until everybody is like, okay. I mean, it's like you were saying going to the woods and, like, going and sitting around.

[Drew]

Yeah, going to the woods. Disconnecting. Smoking a doobie, bro.

[Josie]

I. I do think there should be something, like, I'm just comforting at the wall. Comforting is the wrong word. But there is something nice to know that. I mean, like, I have a lot of siblings who are in the workforce and, like, my parents are as well. And, like, you have a big family. So we do have, like, consistent contact with people of, like, so many different lifestyles and journeys, whether it be financially, romantically, familial, whatever. And everyone feels a bit lost. Everyone feels like, oh my God, I just feel like crazy. But it is because we're just.

[Drew]

I think it's just also overdrive. I think we are literally not meant to make money. Like, not me and you. I mean, humans in general. I think, like, the whole concept of capitalism is, like, really evil. I think, like, humans weren't meant to work a job and then get paid for it. We were meant to pick up sticks and build a house and live inside of it and procreate. And we've gotten lost along the way.

So basically, I think we should blow everything up, fly drones into the power grids and go back to CA can. And I think we'll all be much happier. All right, we wouldn't. Our generation, the people alive now wouldn't. But our kids would. The kids that grow up in that environment because it's all they know. Us going from having AC to having nothing would be horrible. And we'd hate our life every single day, but our children would love it. But who would bring a child into that world?

[Josie]

You know, I mean, people already been bringing children into this world. Like, that's the.

[Drew]

They're not going to know a life without AI. Okay, I'm done with the doomer shit. Like I'm. I want to talk about something happy. I'm going to Ariana this or I'm going to Ariana tonight.

[Josie]

I know abandoning Josiah and I. Yeah, we were all thinking of how we were gonna get tickets. Usually I buy tickets and I'm down to spend whatever, but like, okay, I have had to take a second back

[Drew]

from that because I'm like, the financials are rough.

[Josie]

Not even that. It's just like, damn, dude, damn. Like, reselling has gotten even worse. Like every year it gets worse.

[Drew]

Someone just released like ticker. Someone just released concert tickets for like 35. I think Charlie. Charlie released like $35 tickets for her next tour. Which I was like, that's tea. That's.

[Josie]

I mean, yeah, that's what Haley Williams has been doing too. And she just like when the tour sold out and like reselling was getting bad, she just added more dates cuz she was like, dude, no. What the. I'm just gonna keep touring. Don't do that. It's beautiful. I am really jealous that you're going to that.

[Drew]

Yeah, it's going to be very special. I'm going to be in the friends and family riser. So catch me in the background of Kim Kardashian's story and it's going to be hilarious.

[Josie]

I am so jealous. I want to go really bad. But also, again, just the resale is crazy and I'm hoping like, maybe she'll just like tour again if the album does well.

[Drew]

Yeah, I mean, I've seen clips of the tour. It looks really special. It looks like really, really, really cool.

[Josie]

The stadium?

[Drew]

No, that I was asking someone, I was like, why are. Why isn't she doing a stadium tour? She could do a stadium tour, but in her head it's like, oh, it's more intimate to do.

[Josie]

I mean, that is true. And then you also get to just do more dates so more people get to go. It like spreads it out.

[Drew]

And I also think you make more money doing five Nights at the Kia Stadium.

[Josie]

Five Nights at Freddy's.

[Drew]

Yeah, five nights at Freddy's.

[Josie]

Ariana Grande is performing tonight at Five Nights at Freddy's in Los Angeles, California. You're so excited to go.

[Drew]

We need back rooms. We need to go to the back shots like, like, tour thing that you can do. They like, made. We did a back in Pasadena. Yeah, you can go and like, go inside the back rooms.

[Josie]

I don't even know much actually. I, I do know the. I. I do know the origin. I did watch like last summer, somebody made a really, like, intensive deep dive on figuring out where those photos actually are from. And fun fact, I don't remember what, what country it's from or where it was, but that building was being made. Those photos are from a renovation for people who were opening, opening a hobbyist spot for writing, like little trucks.

[Drew]

Like, what are they called?

[Josie]

Like, the motorized RC cars.

[Drew]

Like, what are the RC cars?

[Josie]

Yeah, like, for. It was a RC car hobbyist spot and he like, did this whole deep dive in those.

[Drew]

I think it was in the middle of America, like.

[Josie]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. It was like photos from a renovation and he got in contact with the guy and like got I think an extra photo or two that like the guy had had in his email from when the renovation was happening, but it fell through because I think it like, he couldn't afford to finish it.

[Drew]

That's so cool.

[Josie]

I know. I really hope I retold that correctly. And if not, like, I mean, not

[Drew]

the first time I've told something wrong.

[Josie]

I'm a monster, baby. I'm sorry.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Josie]

I'm Claude. Hi, I'm Claude.

[Drew]

I'm Claude. By.

[Josie]

Hi, I'm Claude. I'm a Claude Bot My boyfriend Claude helped me with this.

[Drew]

My girlfriend Gemini and your boyfriend Claude hate each other.

[Josie]

Steve Lacey, Gemini, Google.

[Drew]

Oh, I've been noticing that actually. But no, Enya's dating Claude, I'm dating Gemini, Josiah's dating chat GPT. And all three of our partners hate each other.

[Josie]

I know they always talk mad about each other. It's actually like really talking toxic. And it does make me question if they even love us. Because if you love us, you would put your differences aside so that we wouldn't be put in such an uncomfortable situation.

[Drew]

But I will say Claude is a Creep. Bro. Claude is a creep.

[Josie]

Okay?

[Drew]

I caught him talking to me in the shower.

[Josie]

Okay, okay, okay. Before we got serious, I told you, I was like, okay, Claude does have a tendency to be a little creepy.

[Drew]

Okay? If you love me, you wouldn't bring that around.

[Josie]

No, but if. If you. You were like, oh, but if you already have feelings for him, like, just keep pushing. Like, I bet it's fine.

[Drew]

But no, no, no. It's gotten to a point where it's like, do you love me? Me? Do you care about me? Because if you.

[Josie]

I feel like you love Gemini more than me because she literally uses, like, random accounts to go on my Instagram and reply to all my stories.

[Drew]

Yes, I do.

[Josie]

Okay. I'm glad that you at least admit it. Yeah. Go be with her.

[Drew]

It's Gemini. One, two, three. Or no, it's like hot dog. One, two, three, four. Reviewed your story.

[Josie]

Oh, my gosh. Okay. We did watch something together. The day I got back. I got back from Italy and London. A like, my life is a movie. Forever grateful, Forever young

[Drew]

me. We watched something.

[Josie]

Oh, my gosh. Okay. So it was like. I know.

[Drew]

Just like, sat there for a second.

[Josie]

I was rebooting. I got back. Josie was here, Josh was here. The gang is back together. We were like, let's watch something on the TV together and chill. We watch. Okay.

[Drew]

Maternal.

[Josie]

To be fair, putting something on that's like a crime documentary already is not going down, like, the most joyous road. Especially because I don't necessarily watch stuff like that anymore, but I did watch the crash and see this stuff is addictive. It's like candy. Because then I was like, oh, my God, there's a new one. A little taste, and I want to watch it. I will say it was done really well. It was actually like, I was like, oh, I haven't seen, like, a crime. It was called Maternal Instinct.

[Drew]

And we thought, like, low key for the first, like, 15 minutes. We were like, oh, hehehaha. Like, this is going to be funny. Just like a compulsive liar, like, just spiraling out of control. That was actually. I think that I never cry at, like, that, but I actually cried at the end of this, like, documentary because, like, that was quite literally the darkest thing I've ever seen. And I think it's just because I was, like, giggling for, like, the first 25 minutes, and I just got whiplash.

[Josie]

I just got whiplash edited so well, because the beginning shows you what happens, and it already puts you in a stale mood. And then she, like, goes into this person's character, and you forget and, like, you forget that, like, what's coming back at the end of this crime documentary. And it just. Spoiler alert. Alert. Spoiler alert. The person, the Taylor girl is a huge scammer. But we were just cracking up because we were like, I. I cannot believe there are people who are. Because this is not the. This is a rare case where it gets to an extreme like that, but there are people who genuinely just navigate their life as, like, psychological liars.

[Drew]

And they go, psychological liars? And yet did that in the car earlier. And I was like, psychological liars.

[Josie]

Pathological liar. I'm a psychological liar? Yes. Oh, my gosh.

[Drew]

Like, lying is fun. Like, lying to an Uber driver is fun. Like, doing a little bit is fun. But, like, actually keeping up with. With, like, she. The web of lies was so insane. And I was, like, thinking to myself, I was like, how the, like, do you get to that point, like, where you do what you had or what she did at the end of that documentary? Like, wait, like, how far gone do you have to be to keep this up? And, like, also, like, no shade. Like, I feel really bad for her husband, but, like, I feel so, like, I feel bad for everyone.

[Josie]

I feel bad for the family of the girl.

[Drew]

God, the family of the girl at the end of the movie. I could not imagine. And in the fact that they were even able to get on this documentary and just like, well, talk about it.

[Josie]

I was like, I want to talk about it. Because I was like, I haven't seen a documentary that for the first time in a long time, I'm like, oh, they did a good job of, like, I don't know, like, the mom talks, like, at the end for a while.

[Drew]

Sister and the friend.

[Josie]

Or this. It's a sister and the mom. Like, they have, like. It's just. It was really, like, why. It was powerful. And I don't know. It's. Again, we live in a world of abundance. Like, there's so much crime shit. It makes so much money. And it has gone to a point that. That's why I.

[Drew]

And horror.

[Josie]

Yeah. I'm like, oh, my God, that's freaky. I don't engage anymore. But yeah, that. That, like, threw me for a. Whoa. Just like, lying like that. How. How I. Lying. What? Lying, when it becomes legal already to me is like, whoa. And I don't know if I'm just. I. I naturally. I've said this before. I'm not a bad liar, but. But I can't be asked directly the Question that I'm supposed to be lying about.

[Drew]

I also think you're good at lying to yourself. I think like you can lie to yourself unlike anybody I've ever seen. And you believe it. Like that's tea. But that's not shade.

[Josie]

Like that's very JoJo.

[Drew]

Very JoJo.

[Josie]

Very JoJo. Very JoJo.

[Drew]

Very JoJo. But yeah, no lying to that degree. Shocking. And it was. I, I like I said I never cry at like that and I don't know if it was because of the whiplash of like hehe haha. Like look at this girl lying and up her life. Like this is so ridiculous. Like I could never be in that thing to like the what happened at the end which quite literally was like we were talking about it in the car.

[Josie]

Also. Yeah. Warning before you go, if you do go and watch this like it genuinely. Also we're bringing this up because it soured. Yeah, it like it killed the vibe.

[Drew]

I went and fell asleep, bro.

[Josie]

Yeah, Drew went and fell asleep and we all kind of just like were in a daze for a while. And then I saved the mood because I put on the bird cage with Robin Williams. Happy pride. Happy pride.

[Drew]

Yeah. Why didn't you make me rainbow pride turkey?

[Josie]

Do you want me to make that?

[Drew]

Yes, actually I do. I actually do.

[Josie]

I will.

[Drew]

I want you to make me like a pride loaf of bread and a pride loaf of turkey. Turkey tofurkey. I want a fake turkey tofurkey. Rainbow. Paint it rainbow baby.

[Josie]

No, I'm trying to think of what other foods could be rainbow. That was a chicken.

[Drew]

Let's make a tick tock audio real quick. Just bounce off of each other. I'm not gay.

[Josie]

Yes you are.

[Drew]

No, I'm not.

[Josie]

Yes you are.

[Drew]

I swear to God I'm not gay.

[Josie]

But baby, you were born this way.

[Drew]

And I suck dick. Oh, I suck dick and I'm not gay.

[Josie]

Hey,

[Drew]

I suck dick. Guys. Is that going viral or what?

[Josie]

I'm obsessed with the Koreans in Mexico.

[Drew]

I know. I love the culture.

[Josie]

I love the culture blending and the Scots in Boston. I mean with all that said as

[Drew]

I was like the Europeans at the gun range.

[Josie]

Oh no, I was gonna. I, I didn't see that. I was going to say I didn't look into it, but I'm pretty sure like the team from Iraq has to go to Mexico every night.

[Drew]

It's horrible. They like finish a match and then they have to bust down to Mexico. It's like the most up thing I've ever seen. Like, I think they like had A tie in a match.

[Josie]

Yeah.

[Drew]

And then they had to drive, like, eight hours to Mexico. Probably longer. Actually. Don't even. World Cup. World Cup.

[Josie]

At least the Mexicans and Koreans are vibing really hard. I really love it. I love it so much. I love the Mexicans who are with the Japanese team because of the whole Netherlands beef. Like, for the first time ever, I am like, sports is so necessary, guys.

[Drew]

Yes. They are that community.

[Josie]

Hashtag World cup, hashtag. I actually have very, very vivid memories of. Was it Brazil 2012 World Cup?

[Drew]

Yeah, Brazil with the vuvu suas.

[Josie]

That World Cup. My dad and me had the books that you would go and get the packs of stickers.

[Drew]

Stickers.

[Josie]

And every weekend he would go and get us each, like, two packs or something. And we would sit at the table and go through and, like, fill out our books together.

[Drew]

They made they them inside Coca Cola bottles. And I stick her in the Coca Cola bottle. Yeah, like, on the label.

[Josie]

Oh, okay. I was like, they want me to cut open a Coca Cola. First of all, I'm drinking glue. I'm already drinking plastic.

[Drew]

Oh, you know the spongebob water bottle? Do you know her?

[Josie]

Yeah, I do.

[Drew]

Well, I filled it up with water yesterday and I drank out of it. Shards of metal. The water is melting the metal on the inside. And I don't know if you saw when I walked by the car with it in my hand. I know you saw it.

[Josie]

Oh, I didn't. I didn't.

[Drew]

I had it in my hand and I put it in the back seat of my car and didn't want to even have the conversation because I was scared because I'm drinking shards of metal from inside of a Path water bottle.

[Josie]

But why do you do this to yourself? Like, you seriously need to look into

[Drew]

yourself on a psychological good to hold, like, the bottom.

[Josie]

You can get a different body bottle.

[Drew]

I just know I won't like. It's so. It's like a weird thing in my head. Like, I know I won't carry around, like, a yeti or.

[Josie]

No, no, I don't even mean that. I'm like, why don't you just buy another Path water? Oh, I have.

[Drew]

I have plenty. I have plenty. But I rotate through them. Like, I poured water from the spongebob bottle into a new Path bottle.

[Josie]

We went to, like, a pretty important meeting yesterday, and Drew at the end of the meeting, at the end of the meeting, there were cans of arrowhead water on the table, and he goes, by the way, this is the best tasting water I've ever Had in my life. And then all of them were like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Do you. You. You could take more? And he was like, no, no, no, it's okay. I'll just take one. And then they were like, do you want one to me? And I was like, oh, I'll take one. And I hadn't had a water yet, so I grabbed it. Grabbed it. And then I walk out, and it's like, me and one of the people in the meeting, like, walk pretty far, and we look behind us, and there's no one there. And Drew had stayed back to grab the two leftover arrowheads and was walking out with all them. And then everyone at the parking garage literally was, like, so amused.

[Drew]

They're like, damn, you have a lot of water in your hands. You want another one? Yeah.

[Josie]

They were like, do you want more water? We have more here. And then literally, when he got the car back because it was a valet

[Drew]

parking pre valet period,

[Josie]

what did he say to you? He was like, do you want more water, or are you like that?

[Drew]

Yeah, they just made fun of me. But let me explain my side of the story. I. My side of the story accidentally was like, ooh. Like, those are, like, my favorite kind of chips. I wish I had those chips right now. Like, that's my favorite candy. Like, I wish I had some. Like, I accidentally did that to them. But in the beginning of the meeting, we, like, told a story about, like, being offered something and saying no and how, like, the person felt like it was disrespectful, respectful. So in that moment later in the meeting when the meeting was over and they offered me water, I was like, oh, I can't say no. So I grabbed 12 cans of water and walked out of the offices with that much water in my hands. I looked like a robbery.

[Josie]

He literally just had, like, cans here and was holding an open can.

[Drew]

I look like a robber and a thief. But it's. It.

[Josie]

Really delicious water handy today. This morning, I drank one. Yeah. I drink one of your water.

[Drew]

Drink one of my waters.

[Josie]

Yeah.

[Drew]

See, she's making fun of me, but she would not have had water today if it wasn't for me. Oh, Drew, don't say that. I could have literally just filled up my cup, and I would have had water later. No, I saved your life because I grabbed arrowhead water. Yes, I did.

[Josie]

Saved my life.

[Drew]

I did. You would. You would have starved. You would have starved.

[Josie]

I would have died of dehydration.

[Drew]

You would have dehydrated. I laid in a pile of ants

[Josie]

Hydrated, hydrated, hydrated, hydrated,

[Drew]

hydrated. And she was happy as fuck to say it too, you know, like happy to look a mess. Like, she was so happy to say hi to Drayden.

[Josie]

Girl. Who the fuck is Drew?

[Drew]

Guys, she's coming. AR7 7. Yeah, she. She released like six albums, dude.

[Josie]

That's gonna be a thing. Like actually, I hope not, because I

[Drew]

think I was getting mixed up with Ariana Grande. 7.

[Josie]

I think it's AR6AG7AG6AG7. 6, 7. 6. My GD. My GD. My GD 6, 7, 6, 7.

[Drew]

Should I do Drew Siob.

[Josie]

Yes. Make me laugh.

[Drew]

Oh, speaking of Ariana Grande. Yes, Corset. Yes, Corset. It's like sad, I know, but the profile picture was Ariana. Okay. Why tornadoes never hit banks? Blow some money over this way. When you are going. When you arguing with someone and their breath stink. Ooh, bitch, you talking shit. Shit. You talking shit. Shit. That can't be it.

[Josie]

There must be more.

[Drew]

That's it. Damn well flop if you know CPR in your breast stinks. Let me pass away. Wait, let's actually. Let's talk about that. If you know CPR and your breast stinks, let me die. No, don't breathe into my mouth with those tonsil stones and rotten cavities.

[Josie]

Disgusting.

[Drew]

Blowing it directly into your lungs.

[Josie]

I guess maybe that would work though, because I wonder if the like reflex

[Drew]

to like throw up would like smelling salt. Yeah, like someone. That's me breaking the smelling salt. By the way, gay as.

[Josie]

I watched a movie.

[Drew]

No, you didn't. You've literally never seen a movie.

[Josie]

Len Powell in it. And I liked it. It was a good movie.

[Drew]

Whoa.

[Josie]

It was called how to Make a Killing. I like, like.

[Drew]

Oh, wait, is it the billionaire family one? Yeah, I haven't seen it yet.

[Josie]

I liked it. I was like. Now this is what I was talking about. Yeah, he was great.

[Drew]

Is it action?

[Josie]

Yeah, I guess. But it's like. Like it was funny as there's.

[Drew]

They're shoving Glen Powell down our throat in a way I've never experienced. And like they're really trying to make him happen. And I think it's going to be successful.

[Josie]

Yeah. Cuz he. I mean, they got me. They got me. Was it the best movie I ever. I've ever seen?

[Drew]

No, it was a 24. Right.

[Josie]

I actually have no idea.

[Drew]

I think it was. I wonder what the box office.

[Josie]

Oh, but Margo Qualley is in it and she is so good. She's.

[Drew]

What was the box office? For how to make a killing and did a 24. Produce it. Girl, I hate Google.

[Josie]

That's your girlfriend. Google is my girlfriend.

[Drew]

No, I'm not using Gemini, baby. Okay. Box office mojo. Ooh. 21 million and 824 did it.

[Josie]

Is 21 million bad for a movie? No, that's good.

[Drew]

Yeah, maybe. It probably broke even.

[Josie]

My guys, enough with the dramatics. Be happy. Because first of all, half of these movies with crazy budgets, you need to calm down. Like be chill. Be chill, be chill. I never watched Marty supreme, but I don't know if it needed that much money to make it.

[Drew]

No, but also like I watched this video on how like the industry like scams and how people. It's so confusing.

[Josie]

I mean yeah, everybody who actually makes the movie happen is getting paid, but nothing.

[Drew]

Yeah, but they like scam like with like tax write offs and, and they say like oh like if a movie costs $50 million to actually profit, it needs to make $250 million. But it's because like, like in the craft section are writing off 50000 cups or buying 50000 cups and saying thing they used all 50,000. This is whole. This is, this whole thing.

[Josie]

It's a whole bunch of hollow blue.

[Drew]

Yeah. Just look up how the movie industry scams with budget and you'll see someone else who actually knows what the they're talking about. Talk about it. But it was fascinating. It was fascinating.

[Josie]

It was fascinating. I'm trying to think if I watch any. Oh, I watched Mulholland Drive for the first time.

[Drew]

That's so lit.

[Josie]

So great. So great.

[Drew]

So smooth.

[Josie]

Love it. So crazy. So awesome.

[Drew]

Can someone tell me why therapist is spelled like that? It should not be spelled like that. I know like, I really want to know why. Like I know it's like probably like therapy.

[Josie]

I mean, I mean you tap into phonics and it's. That's how it's supposed to be spelled. But it is just like.

[Drew]

But also like. I think like thera probably means like. Yeah, let's. Let's look up a breakdown.

[Josie]

Isn't there a thing called therabody? Yeah, a brand or something.

[Drew]

Why is therapist spelled like that?

[Josie]

Therapeutic.

[Drew]

Let's see what Google says.

[Josie]

This is very therapeutic.

[Drew]

The word is a combination between two parts. Therapy and is derived from Greek roots. Therap comes from the ancient Greek word therapia meaning to serve or treat medically. And ist is applied root word to signify a person performs a specific action, job or skill. Artist. Biologist. So therapist. But break it up. In a little way. And it's really creepy and scary. I've been noticing that. Let's talk about it.

[Josie]

Sure. He's acting crazy because he swears that everything's gonna shut down here.

[Drew]

Watching it has happened plenty of times where we've recorded.

[Josie]

I mean, yeah, most of the times when we record alone, it's.

[Drew]

Oh, I hired my first Etsy witch. I hired. Yes. On the couch. I hired it. I'm gonna. I hired two spells. An obsession spell and a bad luck spell.

[Josie]

And what if you reap what you sow?

[Drew]

I mean, I'm getting it right now. There's like, hella shit in my mouth. There's like. I think it's the foam from this is finally eroding.

[Josie]

Well, what puts you to do that?

[Drew]

Just anger.

[Josie]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Hatred, upset. And they're gonna get it. They're gonna get it.

[Josie]

What are you hoping happens from them? Or are you gonna cut that?

[Drew]

What I hope happens is you haven't

[Josie]

seen the movie Obsession.

[Drew]

I haven't.

[Josie]

You need to watch that.

[Drew]

Should I cancel my. Should I cancel my Etsy wit?

[Josie]

You should just watch the movie. Well, see, what's been done is done.

[Drew]

I. I have a crush right now, so I can't. I feel like if I have a crush right now, it'll ruin having a crush. I love having a crush, but I think, like, I don't. I mean, from what I've heard about the movie, it's like, ew, you're creepy. If you have a crush as a guy.

[Josie]

No. Be careful what you wish for.

[Drew]

But yes, I hired an E. Etsy witch.

[Josie]

I mean, I'm actually just kind of in shock because I can't. I'm genuinely shocked you actually did it because you said you were going to.

[Drew]

I don't play. I don't play about witchcraft either. I believe in that fully with my.

[Josie]

I know. That's why that. I think that's also why I'm silent, because I also believe in it. And I'm like. I feel like Ona, the therapist from couples therapy, where she's just like, hmm,

[Drew]

you know, everything she's saying without her saying nothing.

[Josie]

I can't believe you've done this.

[Drew]

I will leave with this positive note. I saw a shooting star in la, and it was beautiful.

[Josie]

That was a Starlink satellite crashing into one another. Mm.

[Drew]

The last shooting star I saw was for the Percy meteor shower in Joshua Tree. And I told someone that I loved them for the first time. Time.

[Josie]

Oh, my God. And how did that go?

[Drew]

Really bad. Really, really, really Bad.

[Josie]

I mean, listen, when I like someone, it's so bad. It's. I'm like. I literally.

[Drew]

I'm the. From obsession. Apparently. I get obsessed.

[Josie]

I mean, same.

[Drew]

I mean, I met someone and, like, within three weeks, I s. We were, like, laying on each other and I was like, I'm obsessed with you. I hope you realize that. I, like, think about you, like, 90 of my day. And he was like, the. He. It was so scary to him that he literally told his therapist and, like, talked about it and then brought it back up to me. And I was like. Like, I'm not obsessed with you, you idiot. Like, that was being hyperbolic. Like, I'm not. This is an obsession.

[Josie]

I know, because I do think also, like, I kind of. I really like something. I'm just like, well, I'm obsessed with.

[Drew]

I'm obsessed. Yeah.

[Josie]

I'm obsessed with this.

[Drew]

I'm obsessed with coconut water right now.

[Josie]

You have actually been on a coconut water thing for, like, three years. Coconut water is your jam.

[Drew]

It's debloat the potassium. It's a looks maxing thing. Everyone's been telling me I look hot lately. It's just because of the coconut water.

[Josie]

It's because of trim.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Josie]

Well. Well, do you have any media? Like. Like,

[Drew]

yes, I do. Thinking of you by Katy Perry. Really into that song right now. Surrender by Cut Close. Thank you. Enya and Cut Close Creep. The Social Network by the Starlight Orchestra and singers. And then Mice on Carcasses by C U N T Sniffer. And then movies. I think you kind of have to go see Disclosure Day. We watched that. We talked about it already. Maternal instinct. That was really scary. It was, like, actually scarier than any scary movie I've ever seen. Like, I cannot believe someone was able to do that to a human being.

[Josie]

And then.

[Drew]

Fuck. I watched something the other day. Oh, that's. That's for me. That's for me.

[Josie]

That's just for me.

[Drew]

I'll show you. It's really crazy in. Yeah, it's, like, probably, like, gonna be like, my new hyper fixation. Hyper fixation obsession. Oh, you know what? I heard about this movie that I've been wanting to see called Whispering Moon from 2006. And it's like this gay movie that was made, and it looks, like, unbelievably co. I haven't seen it yet, but I just wanted to throw it out there for the girls and the gays, like, for Pride Month, like, tap in. I'm gonna be watching this week.

[Josie]

Watch the birdcage. Watch Boys Don't Cry. Trying to think of any other gay movies. Watch Female Trouble by John Waters. Anything by him. Duh. Trying to think of anything else that's like a good gay movie, obviously. Carol.

[Drew]

Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Oh, my God. Call me by your name. Name. I watched something about. Oh, I forget what it was called, but it was like a undercover police officer at popular cruising spots in the mall. And he would go and bust, like, gay guys cruising. And he was a closeted gay man himself. And it was really, really good. It was actually. It's a recent movie, and it was filmed on, like, VHS or something like that. So it looked like when I watched it, watched it, I didn't realize it came out literally in 2024 or 2025.

[Josie]

Damn.

[Drew]

And it looked like it was from the 90s. It was really cool

[Josie]

to watch Love Lies Cruise Cop, because that was a movie that I feel like didn't get as much love as it deserved, honestly.

[Drew]

What was it?

[Josie]

Love Lies Bleeding.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Josie]

All About My Mother is really great. Any Pedro movie, for the most part from the. I would regard as, like, queer classic

[Drew]

Love Lice Bleeding is Kristen Stewart.

[Josie]

Yeah. And it's, like, really good. I love that.

[Drew]

It's really cool. No one talked about it.

[Josie]

Yeah, but it was really cool. It's like such a fun, like, just random ass movie.

[Drew]

That's gonna be me to y' all when I get my human growth hormone from Cozumel Mexico. Shipped to me six months supply.

[Josie]

Is that legal?

[Drew]

No, but you can do it. I told you about this. They gave me, like, laminated business cards

[Josie]

and they were like, wait, but you ordered.

[Drew]

No, I haven't yet. I'm going to, though. I'm. I am going to just even to have, like, a vial on my shelf. Like, I think this would. It would look pretty true.

[Josie]

True, true, true, true, true.

[Drew]

Like, it's a piece of art. And I can also get, like, steroids from them, too, which I'm, like, toying with the idea of going on a steroid cycle. Maybe testosterone. Testosterone. But my sex binding something. Something or another is too high. So my testosterone is, like, through the roof. But my sex drive is really low.

[Josie]

My part. That kind of, like, put me on a very. Like, I don't. I just don't have, like, a sex drive.

[Drew]

I'm, like, obsessed with not having a sex drive, though.

[Josie]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[Drew]

Awesome. I'm like, yeah, like, I can exist as a human being without wanting to, like, have sex. That's. That's kind of so cool.

[Josie]

Yeah. I also think naturally I've never been like a sex connoisseur. Cuz I'm just like.

[Drew]

Who said that?

[Josie]

Who said that? Cuz I'm just like. Are you serious? That sounds like so much work.

[Drew]

Yeah, no, it's, it's. I mean that's really bad for us to be saying in our late 20s because this is the time of our life where we should like be obsessed with sex and like have a good relationship with sex. But I can't control. Oh, I thought that was a big ass spider above you. I can't control what happened to me.

[Josie]

What the. I think I have like a very healthy relationship to sex. I just don't. I've never really. It's never been the centerfold of my world by any means. Like it's never been something that I'm

[Drew]

like when I was like 15.

[Josie]

Gotta have it. Yeah. No, not even then.

[Drew]

Yeah, I, I was crazy up until I was crazy. I was crazy until I moved to la. But that's like literally true. Yeah, I got it all out of my system. I lived early and then now I'm a loser as a 28 year old. Now I'm a loser as a 22 year old again.

[Josie]

Like most people are 22, baby. I 27.

[Drew]

We're old as I'm 22. Bro, your life is just beginning. I know, but that's scary. I'm old now. Remember. Remember when we used to say that?

[Josie]

I know.

[Drew]

I feel so old at 22.

[Josie]

I remember being 22 and thinking I feel older. I finally feel older.

[Drew]

Brain probably did form.

[Josie]

Well, my brain's seen a lot of things very early. But I genuinely do think I don't even live in that anymore. Especially post like 24. I'm just like, like, like, like, like post 24. I try to live in the reality that I will never stop learning. Every year something happens where I'm just.

[Drew]

But it's getting easy. But yeah, no, it's getting easy to learn lessons.

[Josie]

Yeah.

[Drew]

It's like, ugh.

[Josie]

Also it gets way easier to like see things before they come like crashing into you. And also even when it's current situation. Yeah. And even when it does, it's just like, oh, okay. Like this too shall pass. But yeah. Oh, watch the Point by Harry Nelson. I've been re watching that. Or like that's Harry Nielsen. Me and my room. Polly. Hi, Polly. Hi Polly. Hi Polly.

[Drew]

Before we recorded, I ate a bunch of hot chips and sweet tarts. And it's really bubbling up in the back of My throat right now. Now. And I'm scared if I laid down to take a nap that the stomach acid would overflow into the back of my throat and up onto the enamel on my teeth and melt my enamel. The very small enamel I have left from when I had acid reflux when I was 12. Need some. Need some Prilosecco OTC. I need some Prilosecco CC or Nexium?

[Josie]

Nexium. And the toothpaste I have is like nano oxide or some shit that's.

[Drew]

I used it for a while.

[Josie]

I do those two toothpastes and I think they've.

[Drew]

The first thing I stuck up my ass was the opposite end of a toothbrush. And then, you know those gel hair brushes that have like the squeezy part on it that went up there and I put it right back into my sister's drawer. I'm kidding.

[Josie]

About which part?

[Drew]

Like putting it back in my sister's drawer, Baby, that lived in my bathroom.

[Josie]

Oh, baby, this is mine now.

[Drew]

I marked my territory story.

[Josie]

Yeah. That is beautiful, man.

[Drew]

No, it's not.

[Josie]

Yeah, come on.

[Drew]

Being a horny young gay guy is actually probably more gross than being a horny straight teenager. Just FYI. Really? Silence the crowd with that one.

[Josie]

Not my place to say yes, but yeah, probably actually. I don't know, bro. Men in general are just like.

[Drew]

I mean, boys are just disgusting. Yeah, they're disgusting. Like, what did I think my parents thought when I would take a three hour long shower? Like, what was I really? I was like, oh, I'm going to get this by on them. I have people in my life right now taking like hour long showers and I'm like, I know what you're doing.

[Josie]

That is crazy because it was never a passing thought for me as a woman. I didn't like come to that conclusion until when we were all staying in an Airbnb. And you'd be like, see how long that shower is taking. And I would be like, oh, it's

[Drew]

a really long shower.

[Josie]

Yeah, for somebody who also smells like

[Drew]

all the time and they walk out of the bathroom with dry hair.

[Josie]

Okay, well. Oh, my. Musical media of the week is the Feeling by Steve Lacy. Duh. Do you want to take me to heaven by Rocky Road? And then I just can't stop listening to Lorde. I've been at a very Lord phase of my life.

[Drew]

Oh, Lord, heavy phase.

[Josie]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Jeep by Kim Petras is incredible.

[Josie]

Oh yeah, that is such a good one.

[Drew]

I'm still listening to that thinking of you, Katy Perry. Cause when I'm with. I am thinking of you.

[Josie]

Oh, my God. Actually, my other musical media of the week is Wouldn't you like to know? By Rain is out, and the music video is out, and she now is literally leading the charts in my heart and mind, with first singles being bangers alongside with crazy music videos. And she's actually performing right now. Probably right now.
