Transcript

[A]

Oh, hello, everybody. I was about to say Shalom. Didn't want to turn into Shola Shalom. I'm on tour. You know this. Hi, baby. Hi, baby. Where am I on tour, Peanut? Tell me. Tell everybody. Chicago, Minnesota, Atlanta. You name it, I'm there. Whitneycompanies.com welcome to the program. First of all, I'd like everyone to give a big welcome back to Grace Weisen. She's back. There she is, the Shelly Miscavige of the podcast. We were married, and then suddenly I couldn't find her for years. She went off, got a boyfriend, became a viral TikTok star, and she's back. How is how.

[B]

Well, I lost it all. No, I was making fun of Blake Lively.

[A]

Oh, right.

[B]

She was being an absolute fool on her press tour. Why would you launch a hair care line when you're promoting a movie about domestic violence?

[A]

You can cover bruises with hair.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

And if the hair doesn't look good, how are you going to cover?

[B]

All distracting.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

It could be so freaking.

[A]

Also, when your boyfriend's pulling your you across the room, you want it to be silky.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

I don't know. Like, does she. You know me. I will defend the indefensible. And I just tried, and it didn't work.

[B]

No.

[A]

So I guess the only thing that's left is that Blake Lively is. But what else would she be?

[B]

No, I know.

[A]

If I look like that, I would be so much worse.

[B]

Also, if my husband owned a sports team.

[A]

Given the circumstances, I feel like she's being pretty cool.

[B]

That's kind of fair. Yeah. I mean, she got Gossip Girl, and everybody was just like, this is the most beautiful woman who's ever lived.

[A]

My favorite thing about Grace is her unrelenting support of Anne Hathaway.

[B]

Okay, I'm with it. Okay, circling back to Blake Lively, she did that one interview where the interviewer was like, congratulations on your little bump. And she was like, congratulations on your little bump. Did you see that one?

[A]

Was that because Blake wasn't actually pregnant?

[B]

No, she was pregnant, but she didn't.

[A]

Want people to know she was pregnant.

[B]

No, she was. Fully had. Announced it.

[A]

But is she being a. Or she just not funny?

[B]

I think it's probably both.

[A]

Okay, because. Because you know my thing. If you make a joke that doesn't land, you're either mean or a liar.

[B]

Yes, correct. But she. She. But then she was kind of being rude. Like, you would see the way she was. Yeah, of course.

[A]

Mean girl. Mean girl.

[B]

So that Reporter has now been posting on Tick Tock. Like, all of these really uncomfortable interviews that she did with celebrities. Mostly, like, 10 years ago, she posted one with Anne Hathaway from Les Mis, where Ann is just being, like, a little. And she, like, posted a TikTok and she was like, you guys, Anna Hathaway, I just want to share this. Like, reached out and apologized and, like, shared, like, what she was. What was, like, going on in her life. And, like, you know, that's private. But, like, I just wanted to say, like, thank you so much to her. Like, that was really, like, classy that she did that.

[A]

Brunettes have to apologize. We don't get to just be like that forever. We have to. Okay. Like, blondes just could be like, yeah, we have more fun. I don't know what to tell you. I'm me. Brunettes have to be like, I'm so sorry.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, I was in a bad place at the time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Are we out on Blake Lively? Do we need our gorgeous stars of our movies to be good people?

[B]

No, absolutely not. And I'm not out on her. It's. It's entered. It's like, even a bad press tour is entertainment. Like, you're providing a service. She's like, you're making your money.

[A]

She's like, I'm delivering. I've given you six movies.

[B]

Yeah. That's like, when. When everybody on TikTok was saying, like, I'm tired of us, like, dog piling on women, like, when they do something bad. And it's like, no, this is just enter. We're just entertaining each other.

[A]

What happens when you're like, I just went viral on TikTok.

[B]

I mean, I just sort of like, did you know?

[A]

How did you know that it was.

[B]

Going to go viral?

[A]

How did you know? Once it, like.

[B]

I mean, your phone, you just, like, start. I don't have the notifications on Tik Tok turned on because I went viral last fall. Thank you also. And it was just so overwhelming, which is why I don't really post on TikTok that often. Um, and then it's just like, you're.

[A]

Like the Daniel day Lewis of TikTok.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

You just, like, kill out. You're like, I've retired.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And then they just, like, drag you back in.

[B]

Well, I'm method. I'm, like, in deep method, preparing for my next TikTok methadone.

[A]

She's on Adderall.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's a shortage.

[B]

I wish.

[A]

I have decided to change the format of the show. I love having Guests. But it's a full time job. I can't do it anymore. Why are you laughing?

[B]

It's so funny. I. Because I feel like when I was seeing you every single day, every third day, you'd be like, we're changing the format of the show.

[A]

I changed the format of the show more than Kamala Harris talks about unburdening. What has been my go to falling.

[B]

Out of the coconut tree.

[A]

But it's for real now. There's no table anymore. I mean business. Okay, I just. Because there's a point. How many more fights can I have with Bobby Lee about my sitcom 10 years ago? I don't have anything else to say to these people. Also, everyone who's popular now, like, I want to have them on. They're just like, they're scared of the Internet. And I have nothing left at this point. I've been called everything I'm going to be called. I've had everything happen to me. But, like, I'll go on this. I'll like, Jake Shane is on. Or Drew Ruffalo, like, all these great people off Wallow. I can pronounce her name, I swear. You know, whoever. And I'll go on some rant about the Disney castles looking like wieners. And then they'll be like, you need to cut. And not them, their publicist, or their people are like, cut that out. Which is fair because it did get me out of every algorithm. Um, and you can't say that. But, like, you know, I don't. You know, my personality. I can't. Yeah, I have threats.

[B]

You have to.

[A]

You know, I'm also, like, just a very direct person. You know this about me. And that is now considered emotional abuse.

[B]

I got a case then.

[A]

I just feel like I'm caught in this crosshairs. Like, and if you're nice to someone now, you're love bombing them. If I don't want to date someone, I'm a malignant narcissist who's afraid of intimacy. Like, I don't.

[B]

Well, everybody pathologizes every interaction that they have with other people now. It's so boring.

[A]

It just. It is wild to me. Like, when a girl's like, he text me back. He's a malignant narcissist. I'm like, so if someone doesn't want to date you, they're mentally ill.

[B]

He's just not that into you. It's the oldest thing in the book.

[A]

Brooke Schofield comes on the podcast. This is when I was, like, done having guests.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[A]

And you know me, direct girls girl. Oh, she's stunning. She's got her hair like it look is all perfect. And then she had a freaking hair that was like that. And I was like, oh, you have a little like hair in your face. The comments were like. And I just left it in because I'm not gonna go. Who cares? Yeah, you know what I mean?

[B]

And humanizing.

[A]

The comments are like, whitney's a monster. She's bullying Brooke. She's a not a girl's girl. She's a. He drinks adrenochrome. Whatever. And I just, I just am like, I can't. If people are gonna be this mad at me, I might as well talk about politics.

[B]

You might as well have somebody on who's already been bullied by you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For years and years.

[A]

Doesn't count if you get end. But like I don't. And close. It didn't fit me.

[B]

I have so many jeans now.

[A]

There's up to your. Anytime I would order some, like, I would get stoned and order something super high waisted jeans from like the 70s on Etsy. And I'm like, they'd be like, just for Dollhouse, you gave me this shirt.

[B]

This is a youth medium. It was long sleeve and full length. And I cut it off to be like, now it's fashion.

[A]

There was a moment where I would see a hot deal on Etsy, like, oh my God, this chair is only $12. And it was Dollhouse furn.

[B]

You ordered a full couch. You. No, you ordered a couch, I think. And you were like, this couch is such a good deal. It was like $200. Like, that's nothing. It came. It's literally like less than a foot long.

[A]

For a regular size couch. That's a steal. For a mini couch. That is way too, way too much. $200. I was like, I'm gonna start a dollhouse furniture business. And then I started just getting like posh gosh bagash children's clothes. Like, these are so cheap.

[B]

And then now they wind up on me.

[A]

So I've decided we're going to change up the format. Less guests, more jokes, more topical stuff. More blasphemy, libel and slander. More calls from my lawyer being like, why do you hate me? I mean, my lawyer is at the point where he's just like, can you stop going after the Saudis? Like he's like, saudis?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But like, they're not going to kill me. I'm not a journalist. He's just like, are you going to go after Bill Gates again. I'm like, dude, he bought at Apple Cider Vinegar. This guy's a creep. Yeah, I think. I just think he's a creep. Allegedly. We should just rename the podcast allegedly.

[B]

So funny.

[A]

We do have a war. I mean, election in a month. And let me start by saying, first of all, calm down. I'm not. I'm not. If we talk about anything political, I'm not going to impact American politics. I just. If you believe a comedian doing a podcast out of her house who can't pick where to part her hair, you need to get your brain checked. If you think I made a joke about RFK and, like, people were like, you're causing harm. I'm like, dude, if someone did or didn't vaccinate their kid because of something I said, they were going to die soon anyway.

[B]

That's. That's evolution.

[A]

That is Darwinism. Anyone taking science or political advice from a comedian is at the end, they also lick batteries and eat Tide pods. Like, there's not. That person was never in the running to live.

[B]

No.

[A]

A sane life. Okay, so the election. I'm not, you know me. I don't really take sides. I'm just the chapel roan over here of podcasting. Okay. But let me ask you one question. This election's a clown show. Has it always been this way? Like, do you think in the 1800s, people felt this? Like, in hindsight, everything seems so romantic and civilized. But remember when Reagan was running, weren't people like, the guy from the Westerns, that actor is running for president. You know what I mean? The guy who wears makeup and says, howdy for money. And, like, wearing a spurs. Like, the guy who dresses up like a cowboy for. Like, that was probably not a good idea. There weren't. There weren't. He did a movie called Bedtime for Bozo with a Monkey. What? Bonzo.

[B]

Bedtime for Bonzo. That's worse.

[A]

I think mine's better. You? I don't think we can say that. Yeah, like, don't you think, like, the way that we look at our options now, don't you think people have always kind of done that? You're a lot older than me, so I figure you can check.

[B]

That's true. There's a very famous Ronald Reagan quote, which is, there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse. Which I feel like if. If one of the candidates said that. Imagine if J.D. vance went on CNN and was like, there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of the horse, people would be like, this man is gay. He can't be our VP only.

[A]

It's like a couch. Like, the only thing better for the.

[B]

Inside of a man is the outside.

[A]

Of a. I just feel like candidates have always been weird. You're a weirdo. Like, imagine.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

This actually makes me laugh. Imagine thinking, like, you know who should, like, run the world?

[B]

Me.

[A]

I think, wait, can you imagine being like. Like, I guess I should in a way.

[B]

I can't imagine, but also, like, I feel like true power is just, like, having ton of money. Like, it's being, like, a billionaire. Hard B billionaire. And most of these people, like, are smart enough to figure that out somehow, I feel like. And yet they choose this, which is crazy.

[A]

As soon as someone's like, do you think you go around the country? Someone's like, yes. You should be like, you're immediately disqualified. No, Even if I did was like, I know a candidate and I'm going for him. I wouldn't endorse them because that would hurt them. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm happy to be wrong. That's my brand eventually, right? Like, if celebrities endorse a candidate, like, it's gonna hurt them. So whenever, like, Katy Perry with the cupcakes on her tits was supporting Hillary, I was like, oh, they're pro Trump.

[B]

Yeah. Do you know what I mean? I see. Yeah.

[A]

She was like, I'm. I'm pro Trump, so I'm gonna go put cupcakes on my tits and dance at the Hillary Rowland.

[B]

Well, I feel like celebrities are already objects of such, like, public, like, either disdain or adoration. And so, like, if a celebrity endorses a candidate, it does feel like it's just going to take the people who hate that celebrity and push them further away from that thing.

[A]

Okay, we're now moving on to our first recurring segment. This podcast is about to actually have structure. This is a true fact. The first segment is called Topics. I'm going to list things that really grind my dears. They can be big, they can be small. Just me getting some grump off my chest because everything else in my chest is surgically attached. The first bee in my bonnet of this week. A popular streamer named Jack Doherty crashes McLaren. Why do you have one?

[B]

Wait, before.

[A]

Before I look, please.

[B]

I'm gonna guess that his hair is, like, piled on the top of his head and, like, tight on the sides.

[A]

You have never been more right in your life. And you are like, you're the.

[B]

I hate this haircut.

[A]

You're the rightest person I've ever met.

[B]

This is my topic.

[A]

What is the topic? Is his hair not the fact that he crashed?

[B]

No, I don' Care. Everybody makes mistakes.

[A]

He has been banned by the platform kick, which is. Doesn't matter, obviously, because it's not a real platform. None of what I'm saying is true and does not exist. That's. Is that like, the rumble of streamers? Like, I don't even know. But he was streaming while he was speeding in the rain on his phone. He crashes. And look, here is my takeaway. Darwinism is a. All right. Giraffes who couldn't reach the leaf, they died. And the one with the long neck, right? Butterflies that didn't blend in with the flowers, they got eaten. The black bears that were in the Arctic, they died. The white ones lived. I don't know what to tell you. That's just all this is. I don't know if we need to overthink it. I don't know.

[B]

I mean, he already camouflaged the car with blood with this paint job.

[A]

The paint splatter. Like, is that. Is that. Did he hit Jojo Siwa? What happened? I just. Is this toxoplasmosis that, like, that's the infection that you get, you know, from. It's like eating undercooked meat or you get from, like, cat litter or something, and it makes you. You have, like, less fear. Oh, is this, like, from the vapes that got recalled? Like, didn't a bunch of kids have their brains cooked?

[B]

Yeah, like, popcorn lung.

[A]

Did Pokemon do that? Like, I don' Is this drugs? I've done drugs. You saw me during the pandemic. Yeah, I didn't. I never Streamed my traffic. I've never been so high that I thought people wanted to watch me dry. Like, I've never been driving and being like, you know, who needs to see this? Everyone.

[B]

Like, I have. I'm great at driving people Would.

[A]

Would people this age rather die than not be seen doing something mundane like driving? Do people think that they're invisible if they aren't seen by strangers and bots at all times? Like, the only way he can come at this point is to crash a 200, 000 person. God, how are teenage girls supposed to date men their own age when this is what they have to pick from?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm just saying, dating a teenage boy at this point is like a life or death choice, actually. Like, when I was a teenager, it was like, I don't want to date a guy who's 16 I don't want to get our braces stuck or I don't want to get tetanus from his headgear. But now it's like, if I. If you go with Chet from, you know, Kick.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You could literally perish. People will blame video games for this. They'll blame Fast and the Furious. I just want everyone to remember it's stupidity. We've always had stupid people. Yeah, unless this guy is, like, paid by Russia to, like, distract us or something. It's just. This is like, the modern day, like, Streaker. You know, people that just, like, run naked through a soccer game, and they're just like, look at me at any cost. I don't care if I humiliate myself. It's like, okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean? He doesn't want to live. Why? Why not?

[B]

I mean, well, I wouldn't either if my hair looked like that. I can't get past it. It's so. Boys, if any of you are watching this. And that's your haircut. Don't. Don't do that.

[A]

[B]

What's Seattle Kraken.

[A]

What even is this? Hockey. I just. Jessica is the coach of the Seattle Kraken, which, of course, I had to Google what Kraken is. It's an enormous sea monster said to appear off the coast of Norway. But it's an ice skating team. A giant squid. Of course, a woman can't coach like the lions or the tiger. It just has to be like a mollusk. They change color to camouflage. Or, like, sneaky, like a woman. So she's the first female coach of the NHL. Can we not, like, why is this news? Like, you might as well go, like, breaking news. Men listen to a woman as long as they're getting paid to do breaking news. Men respect a woman called tmz. I mean, I can. We also. How bad is a team when they're all like, gotta get a woman. Can we get a woman's eye on this? We just. I don't know. Maybe we need to communicate better. Like, where does that allow us here? Like, communicate better?

[B]

We need to. We need to sit down and talk.

[A]

How bad are the allegations against these players?

[B]

She's like, what the team needs is we need to open up a bottle of natural wine.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Guys, guys, light a couple candles.

[A]

There's some rum. Rumblings with the ex girlfriends. We need to find female hockey coach asap. Like, I feel like we should have always had female hockey coaches. Ice skating. It's ice skating, first of all. But it's also. Hockey is a very female thing. It's fighting, putting pads on your chest, organizing who stands where. Coaching is basically making a seating chart. That's our thing. She's like, jim should be next to Mark because they get along. That's where we shine. Okay? That's what we do. A math problem of where to put people. You know what? I'm obsessed with this. There's something called the glass cliff. When a company is failing, they always hire a female CEO.

[B]

Are you serious?

[A]

So I brought Grace in today. No, they, like. Like, companies do it. Like, they just try to do a chat GPT. And she got in there and she was like, I know what this is. And she resigned like, a month later. She's like, we're not doing this.

[B]

That's so funny.

[A]

That's why they're trying to put Kamala into America.

[B]

Just put her in.

[A]

Okay. This.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

My final ick is from my tour. I was on a plane. Why is this?

[B]

This.

[A]

Why did this make me so mad? Am I jealous?

[B]

I think it's jealousy at the Audacity. Oh, it's cereal. See, I was thinking it was, like, very small noodles. I thought that he had, like, somehow found, like, a. Like, a kettle in the airport and had made, like, tiny ramen.

[A]

When I see someone on a plane do something like this, I'm torn between, what's wrong with you and why didn't I think of that? So it's like, the other day, I was on a plane and a guy took a FaceTime. Like, took a FaceTime call.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And the entire section, we all unanimously went, no. We just went, no, we're not doing it.

[B]

Turn it off.

[A]

Like. But then I was like, you can do that. Damn it. I don't. I don't know why this bothered me so much, but.

[B]

No, because. And this is the difference between men and women is because I see that, and I just go, there's going to be milk runoff. It's going to get on the floor of the plane, and then it's going to start smelling, and it's going to be weird. And where do I put the dirty dishes? And, like, I'm going to have to clean this when I get home, and that's going to be annoying. And he's probably just like, put it in my backpack. My wife will clean it up.

[A]

Like, yeah, he drank the thing. When I can see myself doing this, I can, too. I'm so petty. I can see myself because I'm like, why don't you just get cereal from the place? Like, because it's $7 and I'm going to wait in line for two hours to get syrup. Like, I'm doing this.

[B]

I'm sorry. Is this first class business class? You can afford to buy food at the airport. You spent thousands of dollars on this plane ticket.

[A]

But maybe the reason he's able to follow, like, fly first class is because he does his own thing, and so true matters.

[B]

Penny pincher.

[A]

Like, I just love that he waited till he got on the plane. He didn't do it in gate four. He didn't do it. He was like, I'm.

[B]

There's something pre takeoff. Yeah, this man is strapped in.

[A]

Total bug, dude. This guy's a thug.

[B]

So funny.

[A]

All right, we're moving on to a next recurring segment we're going to be doing in the show. It's called Mistakes, brought to you by Ole Miss Takes over here. I. I know I'm kind of getting known for my hot takes. Back in the day before social media made everyone a doctor and a lawyer, an authority figure on morality, hot takes used to be kind of, like, fun. You know, I like to throw out a take every now and then. It might not go over as planned. It's just like a. What's it called when you. Like a test balloon? See how it goes. Okay. I think throwing out a silly, funny haha every now and then is fun. Cut to. I'm problematic. According to Reddit. I just, like, I did do a thing. I was making fun of the polyamory people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I just think if it's called ethical non monogamy, like, if something's ethical, you usually. You don't have to say ethical, not right.

[B]

You usually don't have to specify the ethical part.

[A]

So I'm saying. I'm already getting scared of even saying. Yeah, I'm just like, my point was, if something's ethical, nor I'm not like, do you want to come do my ethical podcast? What's going on at that point? You know what I'm saying? Like, that's always what gets weird about it, you know? So I was just making a joke about it. People came for me, and when the polyamory community comes through, they come in threes, they come in groups.

[B]

They're always coming in groups.

[A]

Okay, so I wanted to do a segment where every week I change my mind at a time when people dig their heels in. And even if they're dead wrong or won't change their mind with new information, I want to be the guy who's like, you know what? I missed the mark. Okay. Now that I think about it, I have a new take. I would like to regroup. Okay, ethical non monogamy people, I support you, and please don't refund your tickets to the national shows. I recently did have to take a video down. I was with Hannah BERNER and Grace O'Malley in New York, and we were talking about gaslighting, talking about narcissism and talking about how people misuse these phrases so when it actually does happen to a person, it's devalued. Right. Or people just think you're crying wolf or whatever. So people like, he gaslit me. I'm like, I. People throw that around. The guy ghosting you is not gaslighting. Gaslighting is. It's a long con where somebody makes you doubt your reality. And not just men do it. Not just men do it. It's someone else thinking, like, it's basically someone else making you think that you've gone crazy. You know, it's not a guy who, like, didn't DM you back on him, you know? But the mistake I did was I. I own this mistake. I sh. In the podcast, it had context. In the clip, it did not. And I said something about, like, gaslighting. Like, we just throw this word around. Like, if you're saying, like, he gaslit me, you're just, like, admitting that you were dumb. And Bob, see, I missed you, Grace. I really.

[B]

I get it.

[A]

But, like, anyway, so I had to take it down. So that was my mistake of the week.

[B]

The mistake is not hiring a better editor. That's bad. Mistake was taking it down. I doubled down.

[A]

When if one person is like, I was gaslit. I was in an abusive relationship and this, like, upset, I'm like, take it. Like, I can't handle it.

[B]

I know. Yeah.

[A]

Here's what I'll say. When a clip gets, like, 400 views in 20 minutes, you know something's up.

[B]

Yep. 100. It's not good.

[A]

It's never good. I'm always. I'm never like, yes, this is funny. I'm like, oh, no.

[B]

Your stomach sings. Yeah.

[A]

So it's like, talking about things like, here's what I think. I spent a lot of time. I'm just gonna own this about myself, going like, people are doctors, and stop. And I kind of do it.

[B]

Yeah, of course you do.

[A]

I kind of.

[B]

Yeah, but, like, your job is to just, like, chit chat.

[A]

Totally. But it's like, I definitely go like, you guys are throwing these terms around. Like, stop pretending you're a doctor. Here's what it really means.

[B]

And also take these supplements.

[A]

Yeah, totally. And, like, promo code, Whitney. So I think that, like, you know, when Brooke Schofield was on the podcast, she talked about having borderline personality disorder. And I was like, I should have just been like, I didn't know what to say.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I just started saying everything I Knew about borderline personality. But all these diagnoses, they change all the time. Whatever. People didn't know where, like, like, we're actually, like, friends, whatever. And I said, you know, like, oh, I would just get a second opinion, like, because I was told I had all these things by, like, these male doctors that were putting me on drugs and stuff like that. Just, like, see other therapists and like. Because from what I heard was if you have borderline personality disorder, you're not supposed to tell the person they have it because it makes it worse. Oh, that's what I heard.

[B]

Yeah. But you're right, though. Like, the over. Overuse. And for once, this is My grace is back. Guys, easy. Like, the overuse or, like, misuse of, like, therapy speak is so bad. And also, like, like, I have literally been in. You remember I was in a relationship with a narcissist, an actual narcissist. And like, when I'm explaining that to other people, I like, I feel myself qualifying and being like, he was an actual narcissist. It's not like, you know, like, people on, like, people say that they're boy. And then you sound. And then I sound like I make it up. But it's like, no, this person actually, like, ruined my life.

[A]

If you said. And I remember you during that time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it was behavior of some. That was with the narcissist. It drains you.

[B]

You're the one who was like, he's a narcissist.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And like, you were right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then I, like, confirmed it with, like, a therapist.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and usually, like, Narcissa, there's ways to, like, find out about it. But to me, usually your. The way that you are behaving tells you more about, like, don't worry about the other person's behavior. Like, are you losing sleep? Are you doubting yourself? Have you, like, do you not have a connection with yourself? Are you, like, you know, you can't look at yourself in the eyes in the mirror? Like, you have to complet completely abandon yourself. And are you. We can be anything in relationships. We should never be confused. When you're in the market, you're constantly just, like, confused.

[B]

So true.

[A]

And are you, like, constantly, like, giving them compliments, reassuring them, like, stuff like that? Like, I'm usually able to tell not by, like, their behavior, but by my behavior around them.

[B]

Okay, I'm actually gonna. That's. I'm gonna tuck that away. That's really important. My. My mistake is not in, like, the trying to solve the problem. It's just the, like, always wanting to. Like. Like, I mean, I know it all. Like, I'm always just like, well, I. This happened to me. Like, I know this from my. From my point of view. So, like, this will help you. And people are like, that's not helpful.

[A]

But then go, great. We disagree on that.

[B]

Okay, that's fine. What?

[A]

Is that okay?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Can we just. What else are you gonna do, right? Just never speak. Like, yeah, you. How are you ever gonna know you're.

[B]

Wrong if you don't?

[A]

The only way I know anything is because all I do is say things, and people go, that's actually not true. And I'm like, oh, tell me that that's. So how would you know if you didn't make a mistake? I'm just like. Like, people are like, that's not true. That's not true. I'm like, thank you for telling me that. How would I have known otherwise? Yeah, but, like, we're all just like, if you never say anything, how are you gonna even learn in the first place? But also, I do. This is tricky because I do think what's true for you is. Should be true. But I also don't believe you get to shut other people down because it's your truth.

[B]

So this is a complicated web you're.

[A]

Spinning, and sometimes I'll say things not knowing what I'm saying.

[B]

Then I'm like, say exactly what you said again.

[A]

Can't.

[B]

Nope. My psychic did my. I. I have a psychic. My psychic. Like, she was like, you're poly, right?

[A]

You have poly energy. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[B]

Am I poly?

[A]

But she was also wrong, right?

[B]

Yeah. No, I'm not. I know.

[A]

This is two offenses against your psychic in a row. Number one, she was wrong. Number two, she thinks you're poly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Why does she think you're poly?

[B]

Because you're like, I don't know. Well, she. I think it was like, the spirit is, like, telling me that you're, like, poly. I was like, not.

[A]

Also, don't say poly. Are you in a rush?

[B]

Polyamorous?

[A]

Are you. How. How busy is everybody? What is this? Like, how are you? Do you need to be somewhere? Like, this whole thing where it's like, are you poly? Like, it's just, like, to say the whole word. Can we not? Like, I don't. Polly. Like, first of all, what does that even mean? I have to go learn Latin because you want to cheat? Like, what are we doing?

[B]

Suffix. It's just. Every word is just a suffix now.

[A]

Yeah. Prefix, I guess for me, I think also here we are. I'm insecure because I never used to be able to be alone. So if I was in a relationship, I would have to overlap to make sure I had a good next option.

[B]

That's what I'm fighting. Yeah.

[A]

So I would be like kind of poly by accident. You know what I mean? And so when someone's poly, I'm like, don't you just want to move on to someone else? But you haven't found them yet, so you're gonna wait.

[B]

You would be poly by accident. That's so funny.

[A]

I was cheating.

[B]

Oops.

[A]

Can we just call it cheating? I was cheating. Don't take the fun out of cheating. You know what I mean?

[B]

It's like, it was so true.

[A]

Yeah. I was just like, or I need a place to live so I couldn't leave the first person and let. Yeah, you have. If you're. If you have money, you have to be.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Sometimes, you know, so for me, I'm just going like when someone's like, I'm poly, I'm like, do you place to live because you don't have to. And they're like, no, it's like my preference. Like, oh, okay, cool. I don't like when someone shames you for not being progressive or modern about it. Like, like you're not forward thinking. Like, you're not like, you're back. It's like, I just, I'm. It's like this whole thing with like this new like feminism where everyone has to be a CEO. No one could just be like a florist.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean? If you're a trad wife for life, like, Godspeed, whatever, dude. Good for you.

[B]

Like you're doing what you're point of feminism is that you get to pick.

[A]

So to me, what I don't like is like, oh, you're just like backwards and not forward thinking. It's like, no, I just, you know, I cheated. I did it. Yeah, I did it.

[B]

Non unethical, non monogamy.

[A]

Yeah, I was. Yes. Mine was the fun way. Wasn't even the ethical way. So like, don't. I'm a. You know, so I guess I just, I don't like when it's like you're backwards.

[B]

Right. Well, also like a big part of my understanding of polyamory is being like, there are so many rules. Like, you can do this, you can't say this to people. Like, you can go, you can't sleep over, but you can like have sex with Them like a cult. I. Nobody. I don't want anybody to tell me what to do ever. You know this about me.

[A]

Your kink is rules.

[B]

Yeah, you're exactly.

[A]

This is. This is. Okay, now we've got it. Okay, so I don't like when something pretends it's something it's not. Just be the thing you are.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's like men with their bracelets that have science in it, where the bracelets that tell them how they slept and how. You just wear a bracelet just. You can. Men are so afraid of being gay that they're like, my bracelet tells me how. It's like, just wear a bracelet.

[B]

It's a smart device.

[A]

No one's mad. Wear a ring. The aura ring tells me my heartbeat. Just get a ring from the Ren fair where no one's mad at you. Live your life like. You don't have to go through this rigamarole like. Like. Like high performer theater. You have to charge it and all this stuff. That's it.

[B]

Yeah. You love rule kink.

[A]

You have a rule kink, and one person's not enough for you. Just say that.

[B]

Yeah, that's fine.

[A]

That's a sick take.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I think that you and I. I feel like in a lot of ways. Oh, gosh. We got it.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

I'm poly. Here we are. When you're. That when you're really against something, it.

[B]

Means you're into it always.

[A]

You always become what you hate. Not that I hate it. I just mean, like, I get my emotional needs met. I have a lot of guy friends.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

I mean, that's not sexual.

[B]

Well, yeah, that's also like, some people have three friends and they're set, and they don't need any more friends. And some people need, like, you know, are super social, and they need, like, a big group, and that's how they thrive. And it's like, yeah, I don't go.

[A]

To my guy for, like, let's talk about Lindsay's wedding.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

You know what I mean? Like, so I. I am poly. It's just a couple of them are not sexual. Let's talk about the most fun way to get into the game this football season. It's called prize picks.

Never down the micellar water on the eyes and just dragging.

That I can't do.

[A]

I know. I couldn't either. And here we are. Don't be rested. Or do you want to look young?

[B]

Both. Both.

[A]

Who told you that women could have it all? It took me a while, but I do sleep on my back. Noise canceling headphones.

[B]

It's not. She's not lying about that.

[A]

It takes a while. I am in a coffin at all times, so. Oh, shalom. We're doing a quick IG live here with Grace Weisend. You know her?

[B]

Surprise, bitch.

[A]

She's back, baby.

[B]

You'd seen the last of me.

[A]

We did a whole new PODC format today. I finally did it. I decided to change the podcast format and two years later, we shot it.

[B]

Oh, actually, yes. Correct.

[A]

It takes me a while. When I get to it, I really get to it. But it does take me a while because perfectionism leads to procrastination, which leads to paralysis.

[B]

Never doing anything. Yes.

[A]

And I'm back. Thank you for being so nice to me. Met you in Houston. What? How low is the bar for people's behavior?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I'll go to a venue and say like, please and thank you. And everyone's like, you're the nicest person that's ever been here. I'm like, what's going on with you guys?

[B]

Oh, my God, I'm sorry. I spilled something.

[A]

No one gets points for being nice. Pass it On. Funny you should ask. Is not being shown anymore in San Diego. You really have your phone.

[B]

Contact your local cable provider and or Congress.

[A]

Please record that and send it to me. By the way, I would watch. That's the kind of podcast I would watch. Someone just calling their local news provider being like, hey, what happened to Friends? Why isn't it running anymore?

[B]

Like, it's only svu. What about the original Law and Order?

[A]

You guys, I can't even describe what happened with the Atlantis thing. Someone said, when is the Atlantis podcast? She DM me and I was too scared to check.

[B]

It felt understood.

[A]

I was like, she was supposed to come on the pod. I'm like, get him. Like, I don't know why I cannot. There's something wrong with my. And my brain is broken. I cannot even open it.

[B]

No, I get it.

[A]

Chris was like, I'll help you open that. And I was like, we can't open it. Cause what if, like, I don't think I can have her on. I don't think I'll be able. I'll hate myself for the rest of my life with how it went. Yeah, I'll feel like I'm losing her.

[B]

Nothing is going to be good enough.

[A]

I just feel like I'll be wasting her time. And I don't know what I need to do about this. This. Or I'm like, I'm like, is she pitying me? Is this a. Like, I don't, I don't. Why can't I just check it?

[B]

I, I, I get the same, like, disease when I am faced with, like, a situation of, like, pressure, especially for some reason. It's always DM when it's a DM that I'm too scared to open. I will literally let it rot for there for the rest of time.

[A]

But it's because I'm worried I'm going to embarrass myself.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Or because remember last time she was in town and she was gonna do the podcast and she had a show that night and I was like, I will not be able to focus if she has a night. Yeah, she needs to rest. And then we were tech and she'll, like, respond to me and stuff. And I just, if I really respect someone, I am.

[B]

So you don't want to feel like you're wasting her time.

[A]

I'm so rude to them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I can't help it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I respect her so much. I won't even open her DM Sick.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Please, please, please. Face oil recipe where I did talk about this recently somewhere, but I don't think I've actually talked about it clearly recently. Grapeseed oil, tomato seed oil, dma E, ester, C, Alpha lipoic acid. Here it is. I'm gonna do this face oil with somebody. It's just all the companies test on animals and I can't get someone to not. Should we just start testing on men?

[B]

I'm an animal. You can test on me for a price.

[A]

That's a good racket.

[B]

That is a good racket. I'm just a test rat.

[A]

That's a. That's what I did in my 20s. I would do test out antidepressants and.

[B]

You do like surveys and stuff, didn't you?

[A]

The number. Yes. And the number of pills I took that did not get passed by the FDA is shocking. I did so many clinical trials.

[B]

So much.

[A]

Well, it was like depressed and I was like, no. But like, could be by the time I show up to UCLA for this study about being depressed to get 50, I will definitely be.

[B]

The drive to Westwood will get me there.

[A]

I will qualify by the time I get there. And then I took all these pills and then like they never came out. I was always like, I guess it takes a while for this approval process.

[B]

They were like, these are really bad for you.

[A]

It's been like 20 years. I'm like, oh, God. This.

[B]

This just.

[A]

The paperwork must be really backlogged that fda. Yeah.

[B]

Those tricksters.

[A]

I was. I was taking those pills three times a day for six months. You're telling me those were not suitable for human consumption? All right.

[B]

Oh, man.

[A]

Okay. I want to come see you in San Diego. Dane Burman. Hi. I hope you do come to San Diego. What's your favorite historical fiction book?

[B]

Historical fiction? Well, the. That's so specific.

[A]

I know. That was.

[B]

That means the Bible.

[A]

Let's got him. She got him again. Historical fiction means not true.

[B]

Well, the history books takes place in the past.

[A]

Is anything. Isn't every history book? I mean, I'm just saying.

[B]

He said, she said anyways, right?

[A]

I'm just saying. I learned that the pilgrims had a fun dinner with the Native Americans.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I learned they got along great.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So I learned Chris Columbus sailed the.

[B]

Ocean Blue with 31492 and was a.

[A]

Gentleman and a visionary and a virgin even. And a virgin and. And he had a wonderful relationship with Sacagawea.

[B]

That was different type.

[A]

So that was what I learned. Okay, enter. Howard's in. And then the Internet. Top button. Someone just wrote top button. Fighting for its life. I know. I don't know what's happening here? Do you think we're all A.I. here's the thing. If we're in a simulation, like, it's just not helpful to know that.

[B]

No.

[A]

If. Does it change your life at all? I did one time hear JoJo Siwa say I got asked to do that TV show, Special Forces. So I was watching it, and JoJo Siwa was on it, and she was like, I just treat life like a video game. And I was like, oh, my God. That's an interesting way to approach life. Because sometimes when I'm in a jam, I'll go like, okay, if I'm in a movie about this and I'm the hero, what would the hero do? And just do that. Like, it's like a little life hack crazy. It's like, you know, like, okay, yeah, go 80 miles an hour and stop the wedding. So that's what I do. And show up at her job and interrupt. But, like, being in a simulation, like, is it helpful? A lot of Musk believes we're in a simulation. He's doing pretty well in life.

[B]

Well, he had a leg up by what, money?

[A]

But always. Did he always have it?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

From the beginning. Beginning.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I know a lot of people.

[B]

Yeah. Cat knows.

[A]

I'm just saying, like, is it helpful to think you're in a simulation? Is it like a new. It's a new religion?

[B]

It stresses me out. Well, that's why, like, going to. It. Going to my psychic always stresses me out a little bit, because then I'm like, oh, everything is predetermined and nothing that I do matters. So why would I, like. Like, get out of bed every morning determinism thing. Yeah. But then I feel like, is that why you're.

[A]

Is that how you. What you tell yourself because you're a psychic? Is that how you get through the day, Ma'am?

[B]

That's so true. Then how couldn't you see me? How couldn't you have seen this coming? That I would struggle with this conversation?

[A]

I don't like. I don't like things that take away the credit you deserve. And someone's like. It's deterministic where everyone is. I'm like, so none of nothing I did mattered.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Me working hard was not nothing. Like, that wasn't.

[B]

No.

[A]

So it's just.

[B]

So it was luck and a little bit of faith.

[A]

So if you worked as hard as me, you wouldn't.

[B]

No.

[A]

Get anything? Okay.

[B]

No.

[A]

All right.

[B]

No.

[A]

Cool.

[B]

Because the world is conspiring against me.

[A]

Okay. Yeah. No, I.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's I do. I spend all day figuring out how to stop you from winning your goals. Blah blah, blah. I'm looking you guys. These. I need a question.

[B]

I need a cake flavor.

[A]

I'm really.

[B]

As long as it's cut with dental floss. Ah.

[A]

Gotta do it. I'm not a big cake guy. You know me. Candy corns till the end. Did I have an identity crisis after becoming a mom? No. I like it. I just. You know what it is? The main takeaway is I don't. I kind of like myself. If I'm thinking about myself 24 hours a day. Not a fan. If I'm thinking about myself like two hours a day, I kind of like myself. You know what I mean? It's just that like when your self esteem. It was like in the toilet. Because I was just like sick of myself.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's just so nice to not have to think about yourself all day.

[B]

Should I have a kid?

[A]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[B]

Right now?

[A]

Not right now. I highly recommend having a kid with some guy.

[B]

Okay. Maybe later.

[A]

Yeah. We need to get the paperwork. Hold on. Let's. Let's slow down. Mar. You don't have a couch. Let's hold.

[B]

That's so. That's so I.

[A]

Let's get you a couch and then maybe talk about it.

[B]

At least I have a bed frame. Oh my God.

[A]

Okay. Thank you. Grace Weisen.

[B]

What's your TikTok at Stan Hathaway? On all platforms. Baby refuses.

[A]

You refuse?

[B]

I refuse.

[A]

You just refuse to cave.

[B]

I did. I'm digging my heels in.

[A]

Oh my God. I remember. It was like the first. I was like, why is it Stan Hathaway your thing or whatever. You're like, because she's awesome. And I was like I love it.

[B]

And you're like say more.

[A]

Say more.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not unwavering.

[B]

Tight lipped.

[A]

[A]

And these awkwardly per usual. Love you guys. Don't hide elephants. Goodbye. Goodbye.
