In the center. That's what we need to do. To the person that started that rumor when I was a kid that Sierra.
Melissa Ortiz
Was a man, I agree with you. But now the only thing with the. With a white man saying that is if it's a black guy that started that rumor, I don't know if you really thought.

We are just here today to give you your eternal flowers for being just a, you know, a professional, a stand up guy when a task calls. You answered. You answered that task. And Sierra, too. I mean, she has the longest video in history right now. I think the video is about two hours and 12 minutes.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, no, it's a six second loop that's on for two hours.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I love the Nokia video, but I haven't watched that since Sierra dropped her video.
Camila Ramon
I didn't. I didn't even look at my child for a weekend. Yeah, it was just locked in on the phone.

No, I didn't see it wink. Damaris.
Eric Andre
Sorry. Well, you didn't. You left her fill in the blank. I filled in the blank.
Melissa Ortiz
She was. Halle Berry was making that thing bounce a little bit. No, but I didn't know Halle. I didn't know her game. I wasn't familiar with her game. I didn't know Halle Berry had all.
Camila Ramon
Never saw swordfish.
Melissa Ortiz
I didn't have. I didn't know she had all of that Back there. I didn't realize that, but yeah, that was the most amazing video of the year until Sierra dropped her video.
Camila Ramon
You know, I consider future one of our forefathers. One of our kings, if you will. You lost, bro. I'm sorry. You could say my collection. You could do any song you want to make yourself feel better. Oh, you took that loss.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon

Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Eric Andre
Helly, yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
I wasn't familiar. I just wasn't familiar, baby.

Camila Ramon
Sarah is also one of the best dancers of our generation as well.
Melissa Ortiz
Definitely. Without a doubt.
Camila Ramon
She exuded the choreography.
Melissa Ortiz
Without a doubt.
Camila Ramon
And whoever the director was, you know, I'd love. I'd love to see what's on the cutting room floor, what didn't make the video.
Melissa Ortiz
And I told you, when I see some outtakes. When I saw her at Missy's show in Chicago. You forgot. You almost forget how many records Sierra's.
Camila Ramon
Oh, of course. Like, she got joints.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, she has. She has records. She's one of those.
Camila Ramon
She's one of the best.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, she's one of the best entertainers probably in the last 15 years, for sure.
Camila Ramon
I can say I was entertained this weekend.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Very.
Melissa Ortiz
Thank you. Thank you, Sierra.
Camila Ramon
Before we get off the horny topics, I got into an argument with someone over the weekend that the Lori Harvey Playboy issue never came out, because I feel like I would have saw the photos. I was like, there's no way that that actually.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, yes. Okay.
Camila Ramon
I was, in fact, wrong, because we went and googled it, and boy, was it a fucking letdown. Now I know why no one talked about it.
Melissa Ortiz
Well, she just go do Vogue. Well, we spoke about it. We didn't think that she would be new. Well, no, with Sean, we went through.
Eric Andre
The photos, and you thought that those were, like, prequels, and I'm like, no.
Camila Ramon
Those are the photos. I thought that, like, when the issue came out, she was like, at least like a little nipple slip in a tasteful way.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
What the was the point of this? Yeah, I mean, she looks incredible. Don't get me wrong. This is the horny talking. This is the post Sierra video. Pre nut clarity, like, whatever the you want to call it. I just don't know what the point was.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, it's still the Playboy brand. She has the bunny ears. She's just not showing any, you know, she's not revealing anything.
Camila Ramon
I'm gonna sound just like a horny insult. What is the point? Well, she's the point of Playboy. To be naked.
Eric Andre
No, not everybody who posts, I don't subscribe.
Camila Ramon
I don't know.
Eric Andre
I just assume to be sexy. And she, like, for example, she's topless in that photo. Sexy but tasteless. But taste.
Camila Ramon
She got racier on her Instagram.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I feel what you said.
Camila Ramon
It's not. I have a. I have the right to be mad.
Eric Andre
God, seriously, there.
Camila Ramon
I have the right. Should Americans be mad?
Melissa Ortiz
You should go on the Playwell website and leave like a. You know, like a little.
Eric Andre
A scathing review.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Like, listen, man, I don't know where the brand is headed, but need to see more Bush. Where's the Bush? Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Did not spend seven decades sex trafficking women for something like this to come out.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, the brand took a left turn somewhere. Now it's just like, you know, that's.
Camila Ramon
The Teflon Don right there.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, you. Oh, he got in and got out as a legend, didn't he?
Camila Ramon
Out? How did he make it through?
Melissa Ortiz
Pay your taxes.
Eric Andre
White privilege.
Melissa Ortiz
Pay your taxes. Pay your failure.
Camila Ramon
Jeffrey Epstein didn't make it through this. Made it through.
Eric Andre
Well, he took it too far.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's what. That's the difference. I don't think he went that far.
Camila Ramon
They may have been of age.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Yeah.
Eric Andre
That makes all the difference in the world.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, There you go. Like, there you go. That's it. The law. The law.
Camila Ramon
The law guys are fine with rape as long as they're of age. That's what you guys are saying.
Eric Andre
No, don't see. Don't want to take it there.
Camila Ramon
I just want to take.
Eric Andre
This is your podcast. Do you want it to end? No, we're not okay with that.
Melissa Ortiz
Who said that? Who would say such a thing?
Camila Ramon
The conclusion of what you guys were saying.
Melissa Ortiz
No, that's definitely not the conclusion we're saying.
Camila Ramon
Did you get into the Playboy Mansion?
Melissa Ortiz
Yes. It was a party. Was it? I forgot whose party it was.
Camila Ramon
You're like first Gump to me. I'm so jealous of the things that you experienced.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it was somebody's party. Somebody had a party at the Playboy Mansion one year. He's out in Cali. I can't remember what it was, but it wasn't. It was cool, but it wasn't. I guess, you know, kind of went in there with, you know, just. I don't know what I thought was Gonna. I thought people were gonna be having sex as soon as you walked in.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, that's what I would assume.
Melissa Ortiz
Naturally. But it wasn't that. It very cool, you know, party. It was, you know, it was a lot of. A lot of women there, but it wasn't the, you know, the wild night that I thought it would be.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, same thing when I went to the puff one. Just me and Al sharpen.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, you snuck in that one, too.
Camila Ramon
No, no baby oil. Yeah, well, thank God I did. Now I'm not on the flight logs.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, thank God.
Camila Ramon
Thank God. Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
You dodged RSVP to that one. Oh, man. They would have had to email all kind of. You don't want that.
Camila Ramon
It's just Salt Bay and Al Sharpton that are going to go down in that Regal.
Melissa Ortiz
Exactly.
Camila Ramon
Well, y. It was a horny weekend for sure. I'm actually happy that Dreamville did not live stream so I could put all my focus into Sierra. And I also did not get FOMO from Dreamville because they did not stream it because I feel like I would have had that.
Melissa Ortiz
I saw a couple of clips floating around. I didn't see any performance. I did see that Cole brought Erykah Badu out.
Camila Ramon
Well, she was also one of the headliners.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. So I saw that. And I think I may have saw Cole sitting down performing some record. And I didn't see any other clips outside of that.
Eric Andre
I got a call from our.
Camila Ramon
From.
Eric Andre
Fail me first. She failed me. She said, yo, before I said, yo, when you meet Cole, like, tell him, you know, that's between us, okay? No, no, she said, yo, I'm.
Camila Ramon
Translate that.
Eric Andre
She said. She said, I'm going to put you as my screensaver on my phone so that if I get nervous, I don't forget. Like, I bet. Like, just call me when you get. When you meet him. She called me, yo, I met him. Yo, he fire. What the.
Camila Ramon
He's fire. What's that mean?
Eric Andre
I'm like, yo, he's still next to you. Like, she, like, nah, he left, yo. What the.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, he's fired his aura.
Eric Andre
His aura? He fired aura? Like, what? Y'all pissed me off.
Melissa Ortiz
So. Wait, what you mean J. Cole has an aura?
Camila Ramon
He does. I've spent a good amount of time with him.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. All right. What's his aura, though? Cause J. Cole look like he don't even care about aura. Like, he's the.
Eric Andre
But that's what it is.
Melissa Ortiz
He's the Adam Sandler of rap. He dresses, he wears.
Camila Ramon
Okay, I see what you're Saying it's.
Melissa Ortiz
Laundry day every day for him. He don't give a. He don't have some Js on. You gotta got him good Js on, but he don't care what he clean.
Camila Ramon
Ones and some baggy.
Eric Andre
Yeah, he ain't.
Melissa Ortiz
He ain't gonna be. You know what I'm saying? He gonna put a bunch of labels on. He ain't really that guy, you know what I'm saying?
Camila Ramon
So he just wants to play basketball.
Eric Andre
But that's aura.
Melissa Ortiz
Is that the aura?
Eric Andre
I done met a bunch of with some fly ass clothes or I'll be black and smart.
Melissa Ortiz
No, that's a fact. But, you know, but any guy walking down the block dressed as jcole, that ain't jcole.
Camila Ramon
The swag.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't see Damaris saying y. Like, you might say his odor before you say you ain't. You ain't gonna say, don't do that. I'm just saying, it's just. It's J. Cole. So we get it. We understand, but it's like aura, really.
Camila Ramon
Like, if it was anyone else, it would look like they stink. Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, hold on. He's not. He doesn't look like the prototypical rap star.
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
You know what I'm saying? Like, and that's purpose. Because when he first came out, he tried to.
Camila Ramon
Which, you know, Roc Nation tried to make him do that.
Melissa Ortiz
He kept a good watch on, you know, he kept. You know, he had waves and, you know, he was trying to. He was a little young Jay. He was trying to look like. He was trying to, like, put Bernice.
Camila Ramon
In her first video.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Like, yeah. Trailblazer.
Melissa Ortiz
But now that he's, you know, he's built this brand and he's, you know, he's like, man, I don't. He's himself just put the beat on and let me go crazy.
Eric Andre
Aura has nothing to do with the way that you're dressed or the way that your hair is styled. It's the energy that you exude when you walk in a room. How you make people feel. Like the emotions you draw to people, that's aura. How many rap stars have you met with good aura? Have you met many of them?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I met. I met a few rappers with good aura.
Eric Andre
A few. You done met a lot of rappers?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, yeah. I mean, but everybody's not a rap star, though. Like, everybody's not a rap star. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it's a lot of rappers, but ain't no, it's not a Lot of rap stars. Like, you know the rap stars, when they walk in the room.
Camila Ramon
Well, I mean, that's where the industry was so wrong about the quote, unquote, big three. Like, we've heard Drake talk about Sylvia. Ron did want to stop. Like, he. He doesn't have the it factor. He's not a star whatsoever. Cole, they said the same shit when Jay signed him. Like, that's not a rap star. And now you look at the three rap stars are the ones that look like they're not stars. Kendrick didn't look like a star. I love that everyone was wrong about that shit because those three are stars. I mean, and redefine what that looks like.
Melissa Ortiz
It's just a testament to good music just surpassing all of that. No matter what you look like, what you dress like, you know, if you. If your music is A1. And that's all that matters here.
Camila Ramon
Like, the first time I met Cole was in a studio. It was just like four of us. And the first thing he said to me was, tell me about yourself. Like, he's just a good person. Like, he has that type of word. Like, that was nobody. I was with Aristotle. We were trying to do the Crooked Smile video. And he. I could have been. No, I could have been Eris's man's assistant. Whatever the it was, he was like, yo, tell me about yourself. Like, who are you? That is good aura. Like, that's a good person in a studio that just focuses on everyone. Tell me about yourself.
Melissa Ortiz
I think that's ill. See, if I get that off, they're gonna be like, oh, he's. He's. He's an. Tell me about yourself. What? We're sitting in the same room. What's up, man? Where you from? Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Camila Ramon
I've noticed that, though maybe not a star quality per se, but, like, very successful people, I've noticed, do do that. Like, you would think the stereotype would be that the CEO successful person be an asshole and not even focus on somebody mopping up. Like, the first time I was ever in an elevator with Lior Cohen, he said the same thing to me. Who are you? What do you do? Tell me about yourself. Successful people do that. And that's good.
Melissa Ortiz
Or they just want to know how broke you are. That.
Camila Ramon
That too.
Melissa Ortiz
Look at this peasant.
Camila Ramon
How can I exploit you for your work, sir? Oh, you do Digital? Here. Here's 10 other things. That's not on your job description.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, 100. That's how that goes.
Camila Ramon
But not Cole. Cole has a good Aura.
Melissa Ortiz
I has a good aura.
Camila Ramon
I didn't see too many clicks. It is, man.
Melissa Ortiz
Just say yellen, Cole has a good. Or does. I'm not saying that he does. It's just funny. Like another guy say that.
Camila Ramon
That's all I saw Eve talking about. They brought Muhammad's crib to Raleigh, North Carolina. I went to Muhammad's crib to shoot with Cole. With Muhammad too. Like watching. That's a real authentic thing. Yeah, Like Cole really paid off his mortgage for the rest of his life. Muhammad never needs a fucking thing for the rest of his life. Because he let Cole not pay his rent for five months because he was broke. Yeah, like that aura is real.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. No, Cole is. He's a good guy, man. You know, I gave him a lot of. A lot of hell last year. But that still doesn't mean that he's not a good guy. Of course. Believe he's a good guy.
Camila Ramon
And I don't think, like, you would really define Cole's existence as a good human being. Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Who am I?
Camila Ramon
I don't think Cole is reevaluating. Who am I with his wife and kids? Like, damn. I don't know. Mall doesn't really. On my aura like that.
Melissa Ortiz
No, I mean, Nicole is a good guy, man. I just don't. You know, it's all good.
Camila Ramon
It's all good.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it's all good.
Camila Ramon
Look what a year does. We're healing.
Melissa Ortiz
No, listen. It's all good, man.
Camila Ramon
A year to the date we are healing.
Eric Andre
Oh, God, look at this.
Camila Ramon
Monday.
Eric Andre
You think you have a good aura?
Melissa Ortiz
Do I have a good order?
Eric Andre
Do you think you have a good order?
Melissa Ortiz
I think I have a great aura.
Eric Andre
Okay, like what color you think it is?
Melissa Ortiz
My. My. Like my hue.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Oh, I should have brought my aura photo today.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't know. Probably like a. Some variant of like a light green.
Camila Ramon
You talk about what you're wearing right now?
Melissa Ortiz
No, this is a. This is like more of an olive, more of a navy green.
Camila Ramon
You give me more of like a lavender or lavender.
Melissa Ortiz
I like lavender.
Eric Andre
Green represents nurturing, compassion and a deep connection to nature. It can also signify healing and growth. And Rory said he sees purple.
Melissa Ortiz
Green. Connection to nature, balance. I'm a libra. So balance is somewhere in the. I didn't even know that. Look at how I'm giving it to y'all. That's aura right there. When I don't even know my aura and I just can't fight faith. That's what I'm trying to tell y'all. Like, come on, man, tell me about yourself.
Camila Ramon
I left out one part of the lior conversation that terrified me. A6.6 Israeli man going, why do I need to know you?
Melissa Ortiz
I was like, I don't know. I don't know.
Camila Ramon
I don't know me.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't even know.
Camila Ramon
Why do I need to. Which is such a brilliant question, though. He didn't mean it like an asshole. Why should I know you?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just people that just don't have small talk that's like, get right to it. Like, yo, who are you? Like, tell me about yourself.
Camila Ramon
Leo, I love you. And I know you watch this podcast every day.
Melissa Ortiz
Absolutely. Come on.
Camila Ramon
He has Asperger's in a good way. Like, that's why I think Luke is successful. He has no filter of how he says anything.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, like, that's a talent, though. Hell, yeah, that's a talent. That's a skill.
Camila Ramon
Yeah. Especially to do that around Eric B. And get away with it.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Yeah, that's a skill. That's a skill. Who are you? Tell me about yourself.
Camila Ramon
Do that in front of Supreme. Yeah, I feel like we are goated.
Eric Andre
I feel like people should go into first dates like that, too, though. Like the small talk. Just like, who are you? Why should I know you? What's wrong with you? What would your ex say is wrong with you? What would your mama say is wrong with you? Like, let's, like, really get to it. Don't.
Melissa Ortiz
Don't say that. Because if a guy sat down on the first day and came at you like that, you would get.
Eric Andre
My answer's already prepared. I've been preparing them in the shower for years. I know all the answers to them questions.
Melissa Ortiz
You are sicker than I thought. You know, you've been preparing first date answers in your mind in the shower for years. What is wrong with you?
Camila Ramon
Yo, that's. That's manipulation.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. You go into it knowing exactly what you're gonna say.
Eric Andre
If you were applying for a job.
Camila Ramon
That'S how you practice.
Melissa Ortiz
You don't approach a first date like a job was wrong.
Eric Andre
Why not?
Melissa Ortiz
Because it's not a job.
Eric Andre
This can be for life. This can be beneficial. And relationships are work. Yeah. I want to present my best self. I'm not lying. But I do want to think out my answer so that when I present them to you, you have the whole picture. I don't think that that's manipulative.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay, so baby did give it to me. You on the first date. He said.
Eric Andre
He goes, why would I Give you my sauce.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't. I'm not going. Do you think I'm about to take you? You think I'm about to go on a date and be like, yo, so how she said it, like, texting her under the table like your baby did? What? You said what, though?
Camila Ramon
Yeah, you got an earpiece with demer.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm just saying. So you on the first date. And he says, yo, so demerit. Tell me more about yourself.
Eric Andre
I'm going say, tell me about you first, and then we'll get into me.
Melissa Ortiz
Manipulation. That's manipulation. Is that manipulation when somebody asks you a question and you answer it with a question?
Camila Ramon
I'm going to.
Melissa Ortiz
That might be manipulation 101.
Eric Andre
Actually, I'm going to tell you about me. Right. But also, I am a public figure where there are a million 18 clips of me talking about me. I want to hear about you.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, so what if you don't watch the show?
Camila Ramon
Yo, that is truly narcissistic. How is that narcissistic thing? Holy shit.
Melissa Ortiz
That's what I'm saying.
Camila Ramon
To think to go on a first date. There's so much on YouTube. He should have done his research.
Eric Andre
He just knows what I'm saying.
Melissa Ortiz
Let's take that off the plate. He's never seen the podcast. Never seen the clip.
Camila Ramon
Which you prefer.
Eric Andre
Yeah, you know, that's what I prefer.
Melissa Ortiz
All right, so then he doesn't know anything about. He just thinks you're attractive and he wants to go on a date with you.
Eric Andre
And he smart.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. I mean, he wants to take you out of rehearsals. Yeah. He wants to get to know you better. And he says, so listen, baby D, I'm a financial investor. You know, I travel. I have a very busy schedule, very hectic.
Camila Ramon
Is this lion.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm glad that I finally got a chance to take you to dinner. You know, listen, I'm newly divorced. I've been divorced about a year and a half.
Camila Ramon
Sloan.
Melissa Ortiz
I've been divorced about a year.
Camila Ramon
Why are you cosplaying Loyol right now?
Melissa Ortiz
I've been divorced for like a year and a half. You know, I've been nervous about getting back in the dating pool, but here I am. So, you know, tell me a little bit about yourself and, you know, what type of woman you are and what are you looking for?
Camila Ramon
I hate those broad type of questions, but go ahead.
Eric Andre
Why do you hate the broad? I mean. Cause there's a lot about me I would say, well, what would you like to know? What about me would you like to know?
Melissa Ortiz
Do you have a real pinky toenail?
Eric Andre
Yes, I do. It's a very long toenail.
Camila Ramon
Do a squirt.
Eric Andre
I'm one of the.
Melissa Ortiz
You said no small talk. He's getting right to it. Is it Bush?
Camila Ramon
Loyon said that? I didn't say that.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, but Baby D, you practicing your answers. You ain't give us an answer yet.
Eric Andre
If a man asked me to do it, squirt, I'm gonna walk out the door and call the cops on my way out. That's fine.
Camila Ramon
You're not wasting time.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, like he getting right too. He could change your life.
Eric Andre
Yeah. What you mean I can. I'm going to tell you about my values because if I tell you about my personality, my personality comes off differently to different people depending on their own view and personality.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay, so what are some of your qualities?
Eric Andre
My values are love, family, peace. Love, family, peace and having fun, enjoying life. I think the purpose of life is to enjoy life. If you want to find a partner to enjoy life with, make sure it fits and make sure you're ready for love to be work. I think that love is work. And I think a lot of people go into relationships thinking that the person that they're with is supposed to make them happy, and that's not it. You're supposed to find somebody to be happy with not to make you happy.
Melissa Ortiz
That sounds rehearsed.
Eric Andre
How does first date?
Melissa Ortiz
That sounds like.
Camila Ramon
That's my favorite.
Melissa Ortiz
That sounds like you went over that while the conditioner was setting in the.
Camila Ramon
And recorded it and watched it back. Find some edits.
Eric Andre
That's fine. I'm prepared. I'm prepared. When is ready to come take me off the streets? I'm prepared.
Melissa Ortiz
Are y'all.
Eric Andre
Are y'all prepared for the rapture?
Melissa Ortiz
Are you prepared for the rapture?
Camila Ramon
Yes. Can't wait for.
Melissa Ortiz
Are you prepared for Jehovah's return?
Camila Ramon
Jews are still waiting on their savior. It's coming.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, man.
Camila Ramon
All right. We're on our first. First date. Cheesecake Factory. I let you do apps and main.
Eric Andre
You let me?
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Eric Andre
Brokey, go ahead.
Camila Ramon
What would your ex say about you?
Eric Andre
My ex doesn't have a negative word to say about me.
Camila Ramon
Can we get him on the phone?
Eric Andre
Yes.
Camila Ramon
Verify that.
Eric Andre
Yes, we can.
Melissa Ortiz
One to get the ex on the phone is crazy.
Eric Andre
My ex doesn't have a negative word to say about me. All of my exes wish me happy birthday. Some of them even sent me money. My exes love me. They have not neglected.
Camila Ramon
I said happy birthday to a lot of shitty people in My life.
Melissa Ortiz
That's a fact.
Eric Andre
Nothing. I'm not the problem.
Melissa Ortiz
Yo, that sound like the problem.
Eric Andre
How? I'm not.
Melissa Ortiz
Whenever y'all say y'all not the problem, y'all be the problem.
Eric Andre
Mall, you say you're not the problem all the time.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm the problem. That's what I'm trying to tell you, baby. D, I am the problem.
Camila Ramon
In this main character syndrome I have, I'm noticing I'm the common denominator and everything not working out for me.
Melissa Ortiz
Exactly. It's me. It starts with me.
Camila Ramon
You really don't think your ex would have anything bad to say about you?
Eric Andre
No. If he found out I was on a date, he'd come up with something. But, like, if he went to God. If he went to God and had a serious conversation, he'd say, no, nothing.
Camila Ramon
Clearly, it didn't work out. So there must have been something that didn't work, that they would.
Melissa Ortiz
You can.
Eric Andre
You can not be compatible with somebody and not meet. That doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you. They could be the perfect person for someone else.
Camila Ramon
Since she's amazing at avoiding. I would say. My exes would probably say I'm a very good provider, good support system. But a year in, I'll probably shut down, get numb and stop speaking to you.
Eric Andre
Yeah. Like, you unknown. Like, I don't. That's. That's not healthy.
Camila Ramon
Childhood trauma will put me in a place of mental instability. And everything that was going great in this relationship, I will make sure does not continue that way.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay. Did the psychic tell you about that? Did she point?
Camila Ramon
No, no, no, no. That was me in the mirror rehearsing.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, that was your monologue. That was your monologue. Okay. Got it. Yeah.
Camila Ramon
I would say that. I would say. I would say all mags would say he's a very good person. Like, he has a very good heart. It means well in everything that he does. But he makes horrible decisions often.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay.
Camila Ramon
Especially when it comes to emotional support and emotional decisions.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay.
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay.
Camila Ramon
I would say that.
Eric Andre
I think that's fair.
Camila Ramon
I would never say it on the first date because that woman would run away.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
I'd rather waste a year of her life and let her find out on.
Melissa Ortiz
Her own for a year. Gotta string along.
Eric Andre
That's beautiful.
Melissa Ortiz
This is a great time. We had a great year.
Camila Ramon
Oh, yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Great year. You always look back on him like he was a great guy.
Eric Andre
Yeah, I had a great year. And now it's gonna take me two years to heal. It's gonna Take me double the amount of time we dated to heal from the bullshit you did when we were together.
Melissa Ortiz
How long did it take you to heal?
Eric Andre
You like Wolverine to heal?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Eric Andre
I didn't rehearse that answer.
Camila Ramon
Got it.
Melissa Ortiz
I knew I got it. How long does it take you to heal?
Eric Andre
It depends, because sometimes you think you've healed and all you just hasn't been. You just haven't been triggered. You've been alone, so nothing has triggered you. And then you get in a relationship, you're like, oh, I actually didn't heal from that.
Camila Ramon
You didn't solve your issues. You avoided them.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Out of sight, out of mind until they're in sight. And it's like, oh, I. I never made any conclusion or closure with this situation.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay.
Camila Ramon
I don't think I've ever healed. I think I'm. I'm like Harvey Dent with the burnt face, still flipping the coin. Like, there's no. Clinically, you should not be alive. Yeah, that's me.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't know if healing is a. Is like a destination.
Eric Andre
It's a journey.
Camila Ramon
Well, what does healed mean?
Melissa Ortiz
I think heal is because he'll. Is like, healing to me is like. Like when you lose, like, somebody like, that you're really close with. Right. Like, somebody passes away over time, you know, you don't think about the person as much. It goes, like, from every day, you know, first person that's really close to you lose the person. Think about them every day until you.
Camila Ramon
Live next to a graveyard and they're buried there. And when you open your bedroom, well, that's.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
You have to stare at their grave.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
You want to move out of your house.
Melissa Ortiz
That's. Yeah, that's.
Camila Ramon
I'm sorry. Was that too personal?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that was. That's. That's just trauma.
Camila Ramon
Looking at crack every morning.
Melissa Ortiz
But it's. It's. You know, where I live, if it's not that, you start to. You live with it, and it's like, you still hurt. You're still, like, a pain there, but it's not as raw and as painful as it used to be.
Camila Ramon
Yeah. You just get used to it. It doesn't get better.
Melissa Ortiz
So I think that's what it is with relationships. When you go through a relationship, go through a tough breakup, you miss that person. Even in friendships. I've noticed. It took me a while to notice that a lot of the friendships I had. I didn't realize how much it affected me that me and some of those dudes don't speak anymore. Yeah, Like, I never really, like, addressed that mentally, but I realized that I was like, damn. Like, it's crazy. You could be with somebody every day for years, and then one day, y'all just don't speak at all for whatever reason. And it's like you don't realize that. Damn. Like, that shit is kind of. It's a little trauma there, too. You know what I'm saying? It's like. Cause it was a relationship, it was a friendship. It was a lot of personal things there. And then now you and that person, for whatever reasons, just don't speak. Speak or whatever. Depending on how it fell out. If it's like a situation that happened where it's like, man, him. Or whatever, then that's cool. I'm talking about the relationships where you don't even really realize, like, yo, what happened? Like, why me in this?
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Why we don't speak.
Camila Ramon
That's why. The grieving, the friendship stuff, I think is sometimes tougher. Because usually relationships break up for, like, a specific reason.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Even if it's been tagged along, there's one thing that you can point to. Like, this was the day shit really split.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
A lot of friendships just fade off because of life. And you don't have any real reason. So it hurts probably even more. Cause you can look like, that person cheated on me, so we're done. Like, it sucks.
Melissa Ortiz
You can point to it. You know where it's at.
Camila Ramon
You can find some friendships. That shit. You don't figure that shit out.
Melissa Ortiz
But I think a lot of the friendships that have. Well, I know for me, personally, I found out a lot of the friendships I thought I had. The reasons why we don't speak no more is because sometimes people feel like you may have heard what they be saying about you. You get what I'm saying? Like, oh, Dan, I think he might have. He might have got word that I be kicking his back and talking shit.
Eric Andre
People start talking. People start. People act guilty. It's the same thing in relationships. You can always tell when somebody is cheating on you because they just. You're like, why. You act like you acting weird, like, because you're afraid that I know some shit, so you're acting guilty. It's the same thing with friendship.
Melissa Ortiz
I got that off on a girl one time. She was acting like that. And I told her, I said, yo, just go be with him. You ain't gotta act like this. I just said that. And she. The look that she gave me. She gave me a look like she was waiting. She was just waiting for Me to say? Yeah. I went through your phone like she was waiting for it. I said, yo, just go be with him. Like, you ain't gotta. We ain't gotta go. You. You going crazy. You. You've been on, your attitude, been crazy the last four or five days. I'm like, yo, like, you can go be with homie. Like, it's all good. Like, I'm not, you know, not tripping.
Camila Ramon
You can see her aura.
Melissa Ortiz
And she gave me a look. Like what? What you mean? Like who?
Eric Andre
Oh, she guilty as the fuck.
Melissa Ortiz
What you mean is funny after that. What you mean? What I mean? You know exactly what I mean. What you mean? Just go be with him.
Camila Ramon
She was trying to buy time for her rehearsed answer.
Melissa Ortiz
Of course.
Camila Ramon
Exactly What'd you say? No, you heard me.
Melissa Ortiz
Think back to the deep condition. The deep condition.
Eric Andre
I've definitely been like that, where it's like, like, you. You being so mean to me. Like, if you in love with her, just go be with her and stop being mean to me. Like, you gotta. Because now every time you talk to me, I feel like you like, you ain't this. So just please go be with whoever that is, please, and leave me alone.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, what's worse? That. Or when they're doing that and they. They. They come home happy, like, what you so happy for? Oh, that might be worse.
Eric Andre
Oh, they cheesing.
Camila Ramon
Yeah. Why you all giggly in this? You never giggly.
Melissa Ortiz
You know why? He just Zelda. He just Zelda.
Camila Ramon
Oh, I mean, yeah, that's fine. I thought he was. Blew her back out.
Melissa Ortiz
That's worse. That's worse.
Camila Ramon
Take some of that Zell money and pay someone's rent.
Melissa Ortiz
Nah, hell nah. That's what nigga's sending your girl. Bread. Don't put no food on my table, dog. Don't put no food on my table. You can't let another man put bread on your table, bro.
Camila Ramon
Remember in Dead Presidents when he comes home bringing the groceries up and then. And the pimp.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, yeah, that's the classic scene. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding? I get it. Like, come on, man. That's a classic.
Camila Ramon
I get his outburst in the courtroom.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
He was suppressing so much, taking care of his daughter, he just went. When he was at war, he just.
Melissa Ortiz
Went forth for this country and can't get a job broke. He don't know if the baby is his. Like, that movie is crazy. Yo, Dead Presidents is a complete classic movie.
Camila Ramon
Oh, it's one of the most top.
Melissa Ortiz
To bottom a classic movie.
Camila Ramon
Fair and Even the way he played. What was the actor's name again?
Melissa Ortiz
The wrench. Tate.
Camila Ramon
No, the guy that played the pimp. Oh, he's brilliant.
Melissa Ortiz
That's Pinky from Friday. I don't know his name. He.
Camila Ramon
Yo, imagine you back from more, bringing the groceries up to your wife and kid, and you see the pimp. There's only but two apartments. You know what apartment you're coming from. Must feel good bringing the groceries back home for your family, huh? Yeah, I was doing that for the last two years when he was at the war. Oh, my God, we all dying. Everyone's dying.
Melissa Ortiz
Clifton Powell, the legend, he's an incredible actor. Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Dead Presidents is criminally underrated.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. As far as one of my favorite.
Camila Ramon
Movies, it's like all those movies that try to do way too much with different plots end up sucking. There's like 15 different plots in that movie. And it's a war movie and a Bronx movie at the same time.
Melissa Ortiz
No worry.
Camila Ramon
And now, Mo, I'm here to talk to you and all of the artists out there about our guys over at Distrokid.

I have been releasing music over I don't know how many years. Whether it be my stuff or people I'm working with, Distrokid is like the first step when it comes to figuring out what you need to do to get it out to the world.

This can't be true. That you dated the same woman as your nephew once?
Camila Ramon
Yeah, I was in love with her.
Melissa Ortiz
That's the thing. Come on, you ain't never did Jackson 5. That's. I mean, for a family member, that's off limits, Damon. No, but he was.
Eric Andre
It wasn't like they were in love.
Melissa Ortiz
So he dated her. Do you know how small the pool is out here in Cali?
Camila Ramon
It's not that.
Melissa Ortiz
Yes.
Camila Ramon
Dating pool.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, so many women. Probably, what, 2001, two. Did you know originally. Did she know originally that. Yes.
Camila Ramon
When I met.
Eric Andre
I got divorced, and I was by myself for two years.
Melissa Ortiz
Right. And then I saw her, and I.
Camila Ramon
Was just like, oh, my love. And I found out my nephew had dated. I'm like, you know, what's up with that?
Eric Andre
He goes, that's you.
Camila Ramon
I was like, okay, Pastor Kabasier.
Melissa Ortiz
And I went ahead and I fell in love, and it was okay, but it's just. They clowned. You didn't.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Family gatherings is awkward. Yeah, I don't know about that. One day, I'm at.
Camila Ramon
And I love how normal he's talking about this. Wait, y'all didn't. Y'all. Y'all nephew's girls?
Eric Andre
And she cooked.
Melissa Ortiz
She went to Cardon Bleu. What? Dessert? Come on. Oh, man. I might have to think about it. And then the other things while she cook. Listen, man, I mean, you come from a big family. Yes.
Camila Ramon
You're the only one that can probably speak to.
Melissa Ortiz
I've never dated. I've never dated anybody that any of my nephews dated. I can promise you that never happened.
Camila Ramon
You got nephews that's like, your age. It could happen.
Melissa Ortiz
Well, not my age, but I got nephews of age for sure. But. Nah, I've never. I mean, I don't. Don't know. Not knowingly. I'd be surprised that some of the girls that my nephews probably know, but. Nah. I mean, I've seen girls that. That or some of my nephew. I got nephews in their 30s, but I see some girls that they know, and I'm like, yo, who that. They're like, you know, I went to school with her. You know, she got. I'm so. Okay. But they didn't never, like, transpired into anything. But, no, I never. I don't think I. I don't know if I could do that. I don't know if I could date somebody that my nephews dated. I don't know if I could do that.
Camila Ramon
Yeah. That would freak me out.
Melissa Ortiz
It's just a little weird. It's just a little too. The.
Camila Ramon
It's. It's really not comparable whatsoever. But the closest that that ever came was when I found out that Kia's roommate in college was Guru's daughter. And I told Guru, he's like, yeah, though we. 20 years difference. I know we. We're friends, but I'm 20 years older than you.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
I was like, oh, yeah. I guess that makes sense. Yeah, because that shit freaked me out.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
He was like. Yeah. My roommate's like. He was like some famous producer, engineer, like Guru or something. I was like, one of my. One of my closest friends.
Melissa Ortiz
She just threw guru name out there. Like, he does something. I don't know. I think he, like, he plays with the buttons on the. On the. On the board a little bit.
Camila Ramon
Remember when we did Made in America when we did the interviews and remember Kia came down with us? She got her Roc Nation riser wristband when we didn't even get one. She was with Guru Star.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay. Okay.
Camila Ramon
I was like, how you get the credentials? I couldn't get and I'm working here.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, nah, that's. That's from. That's from Goo. Yeah, from Go. Straight from Go.
Camila Ramon
That's college roommate, American University.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
But. Yeah, I don't know.
Melissa Ortiz
That.
Camila Ramon
That is super weird. What's that movie, since we're on Movie with Dane Cook and Steve Carell. Underrated movie.
Melissa Ortiz
Dane Cook and Steve Carell. Why do I know it?
Camila Ramon
Dan in real life, Underrated movie. He goes to, like, a family reunion, meets a chicken, like, downtown. Before he gets to the crib, they hit it off. And then he gets to the reunion, and it's his brother's girl. And then they have to, like, you know, get through that whole weird maze.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't know if I ever seen this.
Camila Ramon
Good one.
Melissa Ortiz
So he. So his brother. Girl was flirting with.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, she would just happen to be at, like, a cafe or some.
Melissa Ortiz
So she's cheating on her brother? Basically, yes. Okay. On his brother. Cheating on his brother with the brother. Gotcha you. Well, I got to check that out.
Camila Ramon
I mean, maybe it happens more than.
Eric Andre
We know now, but he knew. He was well aware. And he went and on that girl, knowing that his nephew had ties with her.
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
But his nephew was like, yo, it wasn't really like that. We dated. It wasn't like, you know, looked up a couple times, like, you know, people.
Camila Ramon
Would call that mature. I'm not that mature. No. If my family member beat. Even if it was just like, nothing meant nothing. No, I'm not. I'm not dating that person.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's a little. I'm not my nephew.
Camila Ramon
And then falling in love and that's.
Eric Andre
The thing is the power dynamic. My nephew.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, my nephew is like, look at her range. Look how she. She offense and defense.
Camila Ramon
Like, the way he was trying to make it sound ill when she was cooking and sucking dick and all that. Like, his nephew could be like, yeah, no, I know. Like, you're not flexible.
Melissa Ortiz
Your nephew give you one of these, like, y'all know.
Camila Ramon
Saying past the courvasier about a girl you love is nuts.
Melissa Ortiz
Sick.
Eric Andre
That's the other man.
Melissa Ortiz
He said. He said he was divorced. You know, try to, you know, know, trying to heal.
Camila Ramon
That's not healing.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, when he got. He was divorced, he felt like he was healing. No, get a little young girl and have fun and, you know, live that little moment, that lifestyle. But, you know, which.
Camila Ramon
Which nephew though?
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, famous one. That family is.
Eric Andre
There's a million of them.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Ain't no telling with them, man.
Camila Ramon
Who's the one that was in let's be Cops. He's very funny. He's the kid of one of the Wayne brothers.
Melissa Ortiz
That might be Damon.
Camila Ramon
Is that Damon son?
Melissa Ortiz
I said it might be his son.
Camila Ramon
That's the only famous son, I think, though. So you let your. Your civilian nephew, your girl?
Melissa Ortiz
Nah, this. Well, he probably has had the most reoccurring roles in films and shows than any of the other nephews. But most of the nephews have. Have done some type of acting, I think.
Camila Ramon
How do you feel about that statement that the LA famous pool is. There's not enough options?
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, it is small. I mean, you know, the more famous you are, obviously, you know, the higher up you go, the room gets a little smaller. So, you know, you're gonna come across some people that have had some type of relations or passing with people that, you know, because again, the circle gets smaller the higher you get.
Camila Ramon
No, I. I get it. I mean, anytime I'll click a stranger's ig and just go to see what mutuals are. I'm like, how the they know this person? I get that. But I still feel like in Los Angeles as a way in, you can go find a girl that. That your nephew hasn't.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, yes, you can go to.
Camila Ramon
The Grove, like just go grocery shopping.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, I mean, you. You definitely can, but, you know, it's just. It's also right. It's right there. It's like, okay, we hanging out at the same event, same restaurants, same places. It's, you know, you're gonna. You're gonna come across some people that know people that you know, I understand.
Camila Ramon
Imagine. Imagine trying to introduce your girl to your mom. And your mom goes, yeah, I already better. Your nephew brought her last Thanksgiving.
Melissa Ortiz
I ain't think.
Eric Andre
Well, she was a quarter on blue. Chef. I'm just. I mean, hey, listen, Chef, you know.
Camila Ramon
What if your mom already has, like, a nickname for her and everything. Like, they. They have chemistry, and you just finding.
Melissa Ortiz
Out and we know. You know, we know Mama Wayne's got jokes. So I would love to know how she was getting her off at that time.
Camila Ramon
But they're also from the projects. And that. That's some projecty.
Melissa Ortiz
Projecty with this project.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, that's project.
Eric Andre
That's rich people should. That's rich people.
Melissa Ortiz
That's big family. That's all this is. Big family.
Camila Ramon
The size of housing projects in New York City. Don't leave the three buildings in that vicinity. Their families are definitely overlapping with people in the projects. That's some projecty. That's not some Hollywood. They got that from Chelsea Houses. They didn't get that from Hollywood.
Melissa Ortiz
They brought that to Hollywood. They bought that mentality 100%.
Camila Ramon
Well, I mean, listen, man, I love is love.
Melissa Ortiz
Shout out to Dwayne's family. I'm still, you know, on my bucket list is, you know, sitting down and having a conversation with one of my. One of my idols, Keen and Ivy Wayans, man.
Camila Ramon
Oh, that. That would be incredible.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's still on my. On my bucket list.
Eric Andre
I want to be in one of their movies. So if y'all are looking for an extra, hit me.
Melissa Ortiz
They always looking for extra. You can just walk past the. The shot. Oh, you mean you want, like, a roll? Oh, you said extra. I thought you wanted walk past.
Eric Andre
Just walk past you.
Melissa Ortiz
She said extra. That's not like. That's not. She didn't say she wanted to be, like, casted with a role.
Camila Ramon
She doesn't want to be the dead girl in an SVU episode. She wants to be. I have a real role.
Melissa Ortiz
She said she wants to. She said the extra. It's like, okay, I'm going take the.
Eric Andre
Dead girl in the SV role. What angle y'all got me posed at, though? Like, get a good angle.
Camila Ramon
How did you die, though, Cuz, you know, SVU has some.
Eric Andre
It's a terrible, gruesome death. Like, that's fine, but, like, if y'all going to have me blood leaking from in between my legs. Like, is it a good angle?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. What's the good angle? That would be if you got to.
Eric Andre
Lay on your figure four. Oh, I gotta be on my back. Usually people die in their stomach.
Melissa Ortiz
We talking about your dad. We not talking about, like, your favorite position. She said figure four on my back. Like, yo, Damaris, calm down.
Camila Ramon
Special Victims Unit.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, what's up with her?
Camila Ramon
This is not a nice death.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, she's like, figure Four. Like, yo.
Eric Andre
Oh, the victims are always laying. They're usually on their stomachs when they found them. Then they lift the hair up and be like, yeah, that's her.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Every time I see her, every time. Yeah, that's him.
Camila Ramon
I got news for you.
Eric Andre
She's dead.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's him.
Camila Ramon
That means you're gay.
Eric Andre
Yo, please.
Camila Ramon
No, I mean.
Melissa Ortiz
All right.
Camila Ramon
Have you guys ever watched svu? And the more you learn about the dead girl, start to victim blame a little bit.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Rory, tell him how she shouldn't have wore that short dress.
Camila Ramon
Starts out as an angel, and, like, as the episode goes, she becomes more of a drug addict. Like, nah, she's. She shouldn't have been around those people.
Melissa Ortiz
Word. Yeah.
Eric Andre
Definitely deserves to be raped and killed for that.
Camila Ramon
Not necessarily raped and killed, but you did put yourself in that situation. Like, why did you go to the parking garage with the drug addict with that dress on? That's all I'm saying.
Melissa Ortiz
Say it. Land it. Go ahead, man. No, Fucking land it.
Camila Ramon
No, we're just gonna circle around the airport.
Eric Andre
Yeah, you gonna run out of gas.
Camila Ramon
Until we run out of gas and get this fucking podcast cancel, man.
Melissa Ortiz
Jesus Christ.
Camila Ramon
Anyways, who's on the list? Wayne's brother's. Everybody.
Melissa Ortiz
The. Is that.
Eric Andre
We got a ghost.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, the trash can. All right.
Camila Ramon
Why? I was just saying. Oh, the trap. What did the trash can just do?
Melissa Ortiz
It's the lid. The lid. Oh, top.
Camila Ramon
All right, well, the Wayans are everybody. Usher, once again. Did she divorce again? Usher is ruining everyone's relationship.
Melissa Ortiz
Well, Usher is on tour currently in Europe, I believe.
Camila Ramon
Oh, they all swing out there.
Melissa Ortiz
And, you know, he's doing his, you know, going around feeding women cherries.
Camila Ramon
So he met his match with one of them chicks. Yeah, she was turning me. I'm telling you. It was a horny weekend for me.
Eric Andre
And went to drop it in his mouth that he thought about it. He thought about it.
Camila Ramon
Yo, Usher has a lot of self control. We have to give him that. Because the way that girl was looking. Not this one. This was the divorce one. That. What would be yg? Yeah. How'd you know where I was going? Yeah, that little baddie, that little yg. I would have made out with her in front of that whole stadium. See, this is the way she was moving.
Melissa Ortiz
And this is why you'll never sell out of Stadium 100, because you just. You get canceled the first night. Can't make out with people in the crowd.
Eric Andre
Yes, you can.
Melissa Ortiz
No, you cannot.
Eric Andre
Yes, you can.
Melissa Ortiz
Well, he's a mono.
Camila Ramon
Warrior.
Melissa Ortiz
That's what he does anyway. Like, he just kiss women and that he just met.
Camila Ramon
I have the antibody, so I can't get mono.
Eric Andre
But she was. Oh, nah, no, she caught this girl. Caught the holy ghost or a nut. Same thing. Look at the white woman in the back.
Camila Ramon
Creaming in your dress at a Usher show is.
Eric Andre
Is what brand? Cause what the. You he doing all that?
Camila Ramon
What, you think she's quivering?
Melissa Ortiz
What he doing? He's just standing there.
Eric Andre
Some got that aura.
Camila Ramon
Usher has that aura.
Eric Andre
He got that aura.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't know if you're supposed to just back her up when she said, what aura are you talking about?
Camila Ramon
Like, I would have quivered with my roller skates on in Vegas.
Eric Andre
Whoa.
Melissa Ortiz
Rory definitely would ask for a cherry.
Eric Andre
Oh, for sure. Tongue out curve. Yeah.
Camila Ramon
I would tie a knot with this.
Eric Andre
Yeah, yeah.
Camila Ramon
And give it back to.
Eric Andre
Oh, freaky.
Camila Ramon
Give it back to Urscher. I wish this was a bit. But I really would.
Melissa Ortiz
Yo, yo, that is crazy.
Camila Ramon
You don't think Usher's an attractive man?
Melissa Ortiz
What are you asking me right now, dog?
Camila Ramon
How you. Do I think ladies generation is.
Melissa Ortiz
Do I. Do I think.
Camila Ramon
Do I think scared of feelings?
Melissa Ortiz
No. Do I think women find Usher attractive? Yes. Do I think Usher's talented? Do I see how women like him? Absolutely.
Camila Ramon
You can fully understand why a church woman would quiver and cream in her dress because of Usher's aura. Face performing song superstar.
Melissa Ortiz
Absolutely. I get it.
Camila Ramon
You got it bad. Gets me what?
Melissa Ortiz
That's. What's up, Roy.
Eric Andre
You don't. You know, you don't have to, like, go gay for this podcast to, like, make it to the next level. Like, I feel like there's others.
Camila Ramon
I didn't need that podcast to do that.
Melissa Ortiz
See, but then when I be wanting to joke about, y'all get mad at me. All right, all right, man, it now. Go ahead.
Camila Ramon
No, I think actually, while we're here, I think we did something good today with our. Our socials.
Melissa Ortiz
What do we do?
Camila Ramon
We. We crossed the threshold. We went to red pill. We allowed gay to be in one of our social clips. Was nervous all morning.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, come on, man. You know, free speech is back. It's okay. Now everybody settle in.
Camila Ramon
You and Cord. What I will say, though, off that clip, there is nothing gayer than getting on the PATH train to go see Ryan.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, yeah. That's some of the gayest stuff you'll ever find. Yeah.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
So you don't think I'd twist the cherry for Usher?
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, I hope not. I just.
Camila Ramon
All right, so Pop my cherry.
Melissa Ortiz
What do you think I'm gonna do? If I ever turn on the TV or I'm on my phone and I see a video of you at a Usher concert and your mouth is open and Usher's dropping cherry. Do you think that this podcast continues?
Camila Ramon
Yeah, I actually think. I actually think all of our financial goals are met. Everything that we have on our vision board.
Melissa Ortiz
Yo, let me tell you something immediately. Let me tell you something. Whatever day we do back, matter of.
Camila Ramon
Fact, you should FaceTime me and thank me for what I just did with this podc.
Melissa Ortiz
Whatever day we do back, after you do that, I will not be in this chair.
Eric Andre
Just know that no way he let.
Melissa Ortiz
Usher put a cherry in his mouth. Are you kidding me? I might stop talking to Roy if I see him letting the hibachi chef throw a shrimp in his mouth. Whoa.
Camila Ramon
First of all, I have morals and boundaries. That's not happening. I don't even like when they do the choo choo train. That makes me uncomfortable.
Eric Andre
So you don't let them squirt the. The sake in your mouth with the little dude with. You know, it's always the one that's peeing. You don't squirt the sake.
Camila Ramon
It's on. Usher's the only one.
Eric Andre
I swallowed the whole bottle one time.
Melissa Ortiz
What?
Eric Andre
How drunk of the sake up I was, actually.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Yeah. But what you be going through, like, before you do like that? Like, what be going on in your life where you, like, I'm going to Hibachi, and I'mma. I'm waiting for him to just squirt the whole bottle.
Eric Andre
I just wanted a little bit. But he was, like, taunting me, like.
Melissa Ortiz
But, yeah, you have to. If you was kept going, you had to swallow with your mouth open.
Eric Andre
Allegedly. I could close my mouth and then, you know, up. Just now, you know, I said I was gonna be more mysterious. I'm gonna stop talking now because I hear. I hear the shit's coming out. My mouth sounded freaky, and I'm trying to, like, stop myself, but there's no way to clean it up. And I sign up.
Melissa Ortiz
It's Hibachi. It's okay. You can get freaky at the hibachi.
Camila Ramon
I mean, you guys, everyone in this room knows I'm slow and have learning disabilities. Would you guys be surprised that I didn't think through bringing Amara to Hibachi and that maybe a baby shouldn't be near a hot grill?
Melissa Ortiz
No. I see babies at Hibachi all the time.
Eric Andre
Oh, yeah.
Camila Ramon
She tried to crawl right on that grill.
Eric Andre
How close did you have her to the table? She's supposed to be, like, back here.
Camila Ramon
I'm VIP at Benihana's.
Melissa Ortiz
What are you talking about? Ah, well, you know, white parents shout out to Benihanas. White parents let their kids do anything.
Eric Andre
True.
Melissa Ortiz
Amara probably was climbing on everything. Black parents, you know, they give us that. They give us that hard little, you know, high chair. Once we sit in it, we don't move. I'm.
Camila Ramon
Liberal rule.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
She has the same seat as us.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. See, that's what they do.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Put the ass in the hot. In the high chair, man. Sit your ass down, dog.
Camila Ramon
I took her. I took Amara to paint pottery this weekend. I. I just need to, like, stop bringing my child places at this point. I watched Amara ruin everyone's Saturday by literally just grabbing all the pottery and throwing it on the ground, painting over people's. I could. I had. I'm an awful parent. I got nothing at this point. I'm just. I'm just sitting there looking like, sorry. I don't know what to do.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, that's what you got.
Eric Andre
Oh. See, people like you get cussed out. I cannot.
Camila Ramon
Oh. If the. If this was reversed, I'd be cussing me out, too. Like, control your kid. I'm just sitting there. I'm sorry. Not even saying I'm sorry. I'm just mouthing I'm sorry, Bill.
Melissa Ortiz
Why you didn't, like.
Camila Ramon
I tried. She's quick.
Melissa Ortiz
Take her home.
Camila Ramon
I tried.
Melissa Ortiz
Take her home.
Camila Ramon
I tried.
Melissa Ortiz
Take her home. But your baby's drunk, sir. Take her home.
Camila Ramon
We tried to walk to the car, and all she's doing is screaming at every pedestrian.
Melissa Ortiz
Who is that?
Camila Ramon
Who are you? I'm like.
Melissa Ortiz
I like kids like that, though. I like talkative kids, though. I don't mind that. I don't like bad kids, though. Bad kids like grabbing, breaking. I don't like that. But a talkative kid that'll just start talking to you, like, walking down the street. I love that.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
No, because I told you guys, when she was going through her owl phase, when she. She learned the word ow and would just say out all the time, and it would seem like I was harming my child. Yeah, we got past that now. She learned the word help, so she just screams help at the top of her lungs when nothing is wrong. And I'm just sitting there like, you can't tell by the hair. Definitely my kid.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I'm the daddy. I'm. I'm. This is.
Camila Ramon
On the other hand.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
She's looks like the nanny in the Kidnapper. She's going to have a hard time screaming help. Yeah, yeah, it was a rough weekend. But, I mean, she's a great artist.
Eric Andre
People in general need to be better at, like, having just control of their kids. And I can't talk because, my God, kids were on a plane this weekend acting a complete ass. Not sitting in their seats, shouting everything because they mama just let them do anything. But kids on planes running around, that's a safety hazard. Why they seatbelt's not on. Why they flying around during turbulence? Like, I get control of your kids, bro.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, like, if you're gonna be on a flight, control your kids, man.
Camila Ramon
I will say. I mean, outside of the pottery experience over the weekend, and you know, I traveled with Amara a lot when she was young. She was always fine on the planes, and I was always terrified. Cause I didn't want to be that guy. Cause kids piss me off on the plane all the time. Like, can you just tell your kid to shut the fuck up, please?
Melissa Ortiz
It's not that. Cause kids are gonna be loud. Kids are gonna make. But when the parent is not doing anything to kind of like, if it's like a kid that's hitting the seat in front of them or, you know, one of those, it's like, we expect the kids to be kids, but like, parents gotta be parents too. And that's the part that I'm not annoyed with the kids. I'm annoyed with the parent not trying to do any. Anything to control the kid. That's me. I'm not. I'm never mad at a kid yelling and making. That's what. That's kid stuff. But like, if your kid is like, banging on seats and it's like, all right, fam. We try not to have a combative thing here with the. With the adult, but come on, get your. Get control of your kid.
Camila Ramon
Well, as a new parent, I, you know, I don't do a lot of research, and this is a learning on the go type of thing. When I used to take Basley on flights, the vet would give me like a. A drug that would like, damn near knock bays out for the flights. I asked Amaris pediatrician if there was something similar for children. And I'm no longer allowed at nyu.
Melissa Ortiz
Benadryl.
Camila Ramon
How. How can I knock my child out for this five hour flight?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, Benadryl is always the can't give kids melatonin.
Eric Andre
They have baby melatonin where you. You weren't aware of that? Yeah, they have baby Melatonin.
Camila Ramon
Where do you think these bags under my eyes came from? I could just.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, baby melatonin. Just bite the adult. Just. Just bite the adult one in half.
Eric Andre
No, they have or do.
Camila Ramon
My mom didn't just put rum on my gums and.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
You know, Send your child to a future alcoholic.
Melissa Ortiz
Exactly.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Yo, they really did that to us.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, my mom, she did that. I think it was like, rum and vanilla extract when I was, like, teething. Like, rub it on my gums. That's like, you know, old school bourbon.
Camila Ramon
Like, people do that to their children. That's insane, though.
Eric Andre
I don't think that that's insane. Rubbing bourbon on your baby's gums is not insane. I wouldn't recommend it, but I don't think it's insane. I think knockout bottles are way more dangerous.
Camila Ramon
What's a knockout bottle? Why didn't you tell me this?
Eric Andre
You don't need to be feeding that baby a knockout bottle. A knockout bottle is basically putting cereal.
Camila Ramon
Scotch and the scotch, amigos.
Eric Andre
Putting cereal in a baby's bottle. And it's called a knockout bottle because when you make a baby that full, you basically give them the itis. They don't wake up in the middle of the night. But you should not be giving infants cereal before they're ready because there's a good chance that they can aspirate in their sleep. But, yeah, that was definitely a thing to call them knockout bottles. Cereal and baby bottles. Like, baby cereal in the bottles.
Camila Ramon
Are you crushing up the cereal so they can drink it? I'm confused.
Eric Andre
No, baby cereal. Like baby cereal in the baby bottle.
Camila Ramon
Captain Crunching that. I was like, how. Wait, all right, so how does the cabin crunch get through the. The nipple thing?
Melissa Ortiz
Going to buy some oops all berries and be at home grinding them.
Eric Andre
Baby mouth all cut up.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, like, what you doing?
Eric Andre
Mouth cut.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. N. Man. Baby cereal.
Camila Ramon
Taking a razor and just the Reese's. Yeah, like you cutting crack, liquefy in the pan.
Melissa Ortiz
He in the crib cutting crunchy berries like it's crack. No, man. Baby cereal, dog. Jesus Christ, Rory, get it together, man.
Camila Ramon
No, I'm thinking, like, what sugary cereal would, like, put a kid down.
Melissa Ortiz
Baby cereal?
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
No, that's. Yeah, fill the baby up, get him milk drunk, I guess.
Camila Ramon
What other icks do y'all have on planes?
Melissa Ortiz
Well, Michelle Williams, she. She posted about being on a flight and. And somebody had their foot. Now, this has happened to me. It wasn't a barefoot. It was, like, socks. Person had socks on, but somebody had A barefoot on the side, you know, guess the window seat that she had guy sitting behind her, he had his foot against the window and didn't have any socks on. Now I don't know if this is real or if this is.
Camila Ramon
You know, we think Michelle just. Just lying.
Melissa Ortiz
You gotta question. You gotta question everything these days, man. Everything is not Michelle Williams.
Camila Ramon
Not somebody with of the greatest runs we've ever heard in our entire.
Melissa Ortiz
And I'm just saying, you know, you know, it's just she might, she might know the person, you know, that's all. She travels with a team, I'm assuming.
Eric Andre
She says, I promise you would have get your foot from me. She's so southern.
Camila Ramon
No, I would, I would seriously like wake them up. I would elbow their foot.
Melissa Ortiz
No, you got to do what I did. Pour some water on their feet.
Camila Ramon
It's a good move too.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, just get a little, you know, a little bottle of water that they put in your seat that you never.
Eric Andre
You might activate the funk if you do that. You ever put something wet on some stank and it activate the funky?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, but you're not gonna put your foot right here though. We gonna get. We gonna move this foot though. By any means. This foot has to move.
Camila Ramon
I'm putting juice or ginger ale or something that's gotta be sticky. Like I'm ruining the rest of your flight. Since you wanted to put your big toe near me.
Melissa Ortiz
No. Or you just like lean all the way with like your elbow and just push into their foot and like. Oh, like my bad. I didn't know you. I'm saying act like. No, this is my elbow spaces. I'm gonna be using this the whole flight. Move your foot.
Camila Ramon
It's. It's that when their feet come up here and also when you're in that weird place where. Where the windows don't match up with every single seat. And now we have to figure out if this is my window or your window. Oh yeah, because I'm going to sleep and this is going down. Like I'm reaching back. I don't care if it's halfway yours. This is going down.
Melissa Ortiz
That's enough. But the airports are just dirt. Like I don't understand people that travel with like their feet out, like with sandals and flip flop. I don't understand that.
Camila Ramon
I don't understand people that travel in shorts.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, shorts, let alone their feet. That's crazy to me.
Camila Ramon
Nobody wants to see your thighs on a fucking plane.
Melissa Ortiz
No, but planes are cold. That's why I don't understand people that Travel with shorts. I'm like playing it don't matter if you fly into the bahamas and it's 92 degrees. When you land, put on some light sweatpants, a T shirt and a hoodie on the flight. When you land, take the hoodie off. Like you're just going to the resort or wherever you're going. Like, you're not going to be that hot. So you need to have your feet out. Like it's not. I still don't understand how people have their feet out walking around. Aside from women, I understand how women wear. But men, because you're a perpetual.
Camila Ramon
Each one you trying to see themselves.
Melissa Ortiz
No, I mean, I understand. I think men wearing their feet out all day is crazy to me. Like, it's not that hot, bro. That's a woman thing. Like, y'all could wear sandals and open toe heels and all men having on flip flops all day outside walking around, I'm like, yo, where are you going?
Camila Ramon
So you agreed with Cam'ron when he said Jay Z couldn't be the king of New York because he had on John Cletus.
Melissa Ortiz
No, but Jay was actually on a boat. He was near a beach. He was near water. Nasty, but he was near water. This gentleman was on a flight. Flight. Like put some side. And you went through TSA like that. That's another ick too that I hate. Like when you got to take your sneakers off and you walking out with everybody some barefoot, dirty socks. That gives. The airports are real. We don't realize how dirty airports are.
Camila Ramon
Now you fully understand my meltdown in that Houston airport when they wouldn't let me go through pre check. That's why I freaked out. I'm not taking my shoes off in this nasty ass place.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, I hate that. That's one of the things I, I hate that gives me the ick like every time. Time. Like, damn, I gotta put my foot back in my sneaker. Like, lady in front of me don't have no shoes on. She. I gotta stand in the same yellow spot she just stood in, like patrolling. Yeah. It's just. Oh, man, the airports are dirty.
Camila Ramon
I mean, and there's even the people that wear socks on the plane and then get up and use the bathroom but don't put their shoes back on. Also insane to me too. Like, they think because they just have socks on that she's gonna be okay.
Melissa Ortiz
Walking to the. Going to a bathroom with just socks is crazy.
Eric Andre
A public bathroom.
Melissa Ortiz
Bathroom on a flight, you know, turbulence, missing the toilet and you just standing and that's not water. Like, nobody ain't wash their hands and shake their hands. That's not water on the floor. I can promise you that.
Camila Ramon
Especially those morning flights. Nobody's even or pissed yet. That's an active bathroom.
Melissa Ortiz
I was on a flight one time. I'll never forget, man. I knew this dude was going, you know how you sit next to somebody, you know they gonna be a problem. I'm sitting next to this older dude, and I could just tell, like, he's been at the bar waiting for the flight, like, drunk. I'm sitting there, I'm like, he's going to be a problem. Soon as we about. Soon as we about to take off. I'm talking about when, you know, you at the Runway and the flight in front of you just took off. Like, you know, that's like, all right, we about to take off in, like, less than 20 seconds. Soon as we start going. He asked the lady could he use the bathroom, like, while we were taxiing to the. To the. To the Runway. And she was like, no, you got to wait until we're, you know, like, airborne, and then know. I think he thought airborne meant, like, as soon as we take off. Yo, do y'all know how funny it is watching somebody try to go to the bathroom? And the flight is fully inclined like this. Yo, he's grabbing every seat, every, like, headrest, and. And, you know, the. The. The steward is. She's sitting there at the. By the door. So she sees him come. She's like, sir, you have to sit down. Like, you had. You cannot. He was like, I gotta go. Go. Like, he was lit. He was super drunk. He's like, I have to go. I have to go. Like, I can't sit in my seat any longer. Yo, he's literally. We in full. Like, we not leveled out at all. Like, it's full incline. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, yo, all I kept thinking was if he fall and roll all the way to 36B, that's all I kept thinking. I'm talking about full. We just took off. And he took his seat belt off, and he was like, I gotta go. Like, he said, I gotta go. And I just looked. I was like, yo, that's either he got a. Or he gotta throw up. It's one or the other. But he had to go to the bathroom. Yo, the flight attendant was so pissed. But you can't do nothing about that. That's like a grown person. You gonna tell him to piss on himself in the seat. He gotta go to the bathroom. But you got to pick up at a time, though. You can't be fully inclined trying to use the bathroom.
Camila Ramon
That I understand. But they. They're kind of nuts with some of those rules. Like, remember when we left Chicago, you guys went to LaGuardia, and I went to Newark, and I ended up having to go to Philly for fucking spend 10 hours with Amara.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Because of the weather.
Camila Ramon
Yeah. We had to fuel up in Philly, and they would not let us go to the bathroom. Like, we had to sit in our seats for three hours.
Melissa Ortiz
Now get the.
Camila Ramon
Gas like crazy. Stop for gas. Oh, no. Everyone started revolting and just went to the bathroom at that point.
Melissa Ortiz
You can't tell grown people they can't go to the bathroom. And we just sitting here. Get the out of here. I'm going to the bathroom. You and get these little ass cups of water. I keep coming around with these little cups of water. No, I want to go home. I don't want water, bro.
Eric Andre
That was my Houston flight. There's been a lot of, like, delays because of. I guess there were some storms. All this rain that we've been having, it's been delaying flights. And my. You know, I sit in my airports in my airplane seat. The moment I sit down, I go to sleep. And then usually I wake up and I'm at my destination. I woke up, I'm like, damn, we here already. Now we haven't left. Plane is 80 degrees. There's no AC on it. We're sitting there. I'm like, now y'all need to like, de plane us. And then they're also saying y'all can't go to the bathroom. Would you like some water? I know it's hot, but would you like some water? But I can't go to the bathroom. Like, I just. Yeah, United pissed me the off.
Melissa Ortiz
They got. Shout out to United. I like United.
Camila Ramon
Shout out to United.
Melissa Ortiz
I do like you.
Camila Ramon
Who you know over there, they're cool, too.
Eric Andre
If you in first class or business. If you in economy.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. They treat you like a peon back there.
Eric Andre
Yeah, yeah.
Camila Ramon
No, they're alternating. They're taking the Spirit mentality. Like, if you economy, it's like 10 different fees for bags. Like, might as well buy a first class ticket if you're doing economy and have at least two bags. They. They just add in fees the way Spirit used to.
Melissa Ortiz
Favorite airline, Damaris Delta.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, I'm going Delta. The new United I'm fine with. They just started turning around. It used to just be planes from the 90s. The new ones are cool if you get get them, but if not, Uni United, there's no gray area. It's either the greatest or the worst. But yeah, Delta is pretty consistent. It's still. It's every airline but Delta. JetBlue.
Eric Andre
I'm not mad. I was gonna say I'm not mad at JetBlue.
Camila Ramon
Jeff will give you free WI fi. Yeah, Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
I flew JetBlue mint somewhere and it was in one of the newer JetBlue planes that was really.
Camila Ramon
Oh, no. What one? Jet Blue I had in the Mint. I had a door.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it's one of the newer flights. It was. It was really nice. Like, really, really nice.
Camila Ramon
But what Delta did that pissed me off was they used to. To allow you to get free WI fi if you had a T Mobile number. So I used to put Peach's number in all the time because he was the only person I knew that had T Mobile. All of Palooza used Peach's number for free WI Fi. Yeah, they took that away too. I gotta pay like $30 for our wi Fi.
Melissa Ortiz
Which one of the airlines is.
Eric Andre
United has that though, because I have T Mobile. United. Oh, there may be free WI Fi.
Camila Ramon
Nope. Yeah, they still use it. Peach, did you switch carriers? Why does that not work for me anymore?
Eric Andre
Well, they'll also say like. Like if you. They do something like, they won't let you use somebody else's number. Like if this is connected to somebody else. Especially if you have your United miles.
Melissa Ortiz
It's like Netflix.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Too many people using this.
Eric Andre
That pisses me off. I got mad, signed everybody the out. I can't go and use my.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, everybody get out of here.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Listen, which airline is it that's bringing Shake Shack on the flights?
Camila Ramon
I think it's Delta.
Eric Andre
That's not a good idea. That's not a good idea.
Camila Ramon
No.
Melissa Ortiz
What's the difference? The marriage would be at Shake Shack in the. In the terminal.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
At 6am like, what's the difference?
Melissa Ortiz
Peach is one of those guys. He goes straight to Shake Shack. I see Peach in the airport, 8am Shake Shack. I'm like, yo, what you doing, man?
Camila Ramon
Yo, T Mobile number and shake shack at 6am That's a sick individual.
Melissa Ortiz
Shake Shack is going to go crazy on them Delta flights, though. That's going to be crazy. And somebody else got Magnolia's banana pudding, right?
Eric Andre
Oh, who them? I need to fight with them.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't know if it's not Delta. The thing is, like, that was like the response. Another airline was like, are they doing Shake Shack. We doing Magnolia.
Camila Ramon
Whatever airline soul plan was.
Melissa Ortiz
We don't. Magnolia Bakery, please.
Camila Ramon
That's Kevin Hart United.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, Magnolia banana pudding.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, but that. I'm fine with that because that's like in a container. Shake Shack on a plane is disgusting. I don't care how you swing it.
Melissa Ortiz
Either way, somebody gotta go to the bathroom. Banana. Putting on a flight. Shake Shack on the solar scene.
Camila Ramon
You ever open the pamphlet on the flights and see they put the chef's picture and he like confident in the photo. Yeah, like, why you putting your name. Why you put your name and face to these meals?
Melissa Ortiz
You made this trash, man. Have y'all.
Camila Ramon
If you try to do too much now, like, I get it. First class costs way too much fucking money. So I get you guys are trying to accommodate people with high class meals. I don't want curry chicken on the flight. Like, give me something that can heat up fine. Yeah, I don't need salmon on a. On a flight. Oh, like it's going in a microwave. I don't need the chef. Like, give me something that is going to heat up in a microwave fine. I don't need the high class meal. It's a filet on a Delta flight. And I'm like, dog, get. No. When we went to London on Virgin, they said, you want the filet?
Melissa Ortiz
I was like, no, knocked out. I don't know what nobody ate. I was sleep before we left the gate. When we went to London.
Camila Ramon
You can't clown me about the usher because when we flew first class Virgin to London, we were in twin beds together. You and I basically slept together on the way to London.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I don't like that.
Camila Ramon
First class, they put you on top of every.
Melissa Ortiz
Everybody's like laying down looking at each other.
Eric Andre
Oh, I don't like that.
Camila Ramon
It's so weird.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, like, I woke up and the dude across me was just looking at me. I was like. So now I'm like, all right, I guess we looking at each other.
Eric Andre
Like probably listening to the pod looking at you.
Melissa Ortiz
No, I hope not. I hope not.
Eric Andre
That's nasty. Having your voice in my ear and then like we looking at each other.
Melissa Ortiz
You know how crazy it is to wake up as a grown man and you're on a flight and you look in front of you and it's another grown man staring at you. You know how weird because now I want to know how long has he.
Camila Ramon
Been looking and what's he doing under that blanket? I can't even see his hands making eye contact. Yeah, man, there's no way I should be in seat 1A and mall should be in seat 3A. And I'm wondering if this is my water or his.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it was literally a little divider right between us, but, like, it was comfortable, though.
Camila Ramon
You ever seen, like the dorm for jails, like, when they're all in one shit and the bunk beds and all that? Yeah, that. That's pretty much Virgins to London. You're. You're like in prison stacked up on top of each other for $4,000.
Melissa Ortiz
But hey, great flight.
Camila Ramon
You get to London.
Melissa Ortiz
Great flight.
Camila Ramon
They had. They have a bar in the.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, it was great. That was Virgin. That was Virgin. Shout out to Virgin is another good airline too.
Camila Ramon
You went to sleep. Me, P and Benner. I don't even know why we paid for a seat. We sat at the bar for six hours.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I was knocked out. I don't do that.
Camila Ramon
So I couldn't find my bag that was right in front of me.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, my peach. Was you there for that? I think I left earlier. Oh, my God. The matter?
Camila Ramon
Oh, no, it was Eden.
Melissa Ortiz
It was Eden.
Camila Ramon
It was Eden. With us?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah. Oh, my God. Yo, we. And I'm telling you, I kept looking at this bag like, that's Rory's bag. But I. I'm not going to say it because I. I don't know, you know, he knows his luggage. So I'm just like. But I'm looking like that looked like the little carry on roller that you have. It looks. It's the exact same one, but just bit bigger. Yo, man, they lost my luggage. I'm like, oh, that's crazy. This one luggage keep going around.
Camila Ramon
There's one part of that story that was left out that doesn't excuse anything because I should have just looked. Benner, who was drinking with me for the six hours as a wingman, looked at it and said it didn't say my name on the tag. And I don't know why I listened.
Melissa Ortiz
To him, who after like 20 years.
Camila Ramon
It kept going around. But I took his word for it, which I'm not. I'm still taking all the blame. I shouldn't have listened to drunk ass better. They said after 20 minutes, you don't like the sticker on the shit. He's like, nah, it wasn't your. Your name.
Melissa Ortiz
Who. Who looks at the luggage after 20 minutes? Me. I'm like, bro, this has to be. We the only ones here. And this is the only luggage on the belt. So I'm like, man, hold on. It came back Around. I grabbed Feral. Stop playing with me, man.
Eric Andre
See, probably sitting up there fuming mad, bumping off on sick.
Melissa Ortiz
I would have been mad too, that we got back home and they lost my luggage.
Camila Ramon
2:00Am Yeah, I was. Yeah, it was. It was locked.
Melissa Ortiz
It was his luggage the entire time. 20 minutes we standing there watching this luggage go around on the carousel.
Eric Andre
The fact that y'all sat there for 20 minutes and didn't leave him, he had to figure that out.
Melissa Ortiz
No, but we didn't stop because, you know, if the, if the conveyor belt don't stop, we thinking there's more luggage coming out. But once, if it would have stopped and then it's like, no more luggage. Like, oh, like that's it. But I guess it kept going. Cuz they like, whose bag is this? What bag is this? And we, we only was standing there two in the morning right outside of customs.
Camila Ramon
And then, then I one uped it after that whole outrage stage, walking out through the, the sliding doors. You know, there's always those shady guys, yo, you need a ride? You need a ride? You need a ride? I said, yes, let's do this.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, my God.
Camila Ramon
Got in the shadiest Scooby Doo van, dog. Felt like I was. Felt like I was getting molested again. It was that type of van. And I was like, I was like, you know what? Let's do this. I've always been curious who says yes to this guy? Because people have to say yes. They keep coming back.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Best hundred dollars ever spent. Got edding back to the Upper east side. Got me to midtown in like 15 minutes. Nicest guy ever. Maybe touch my knee. But that's, that's the price you pay. Like, because Uber was saying like, $200.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, yeah.
Camila Ramon
He was like, yo, a hundred cash. I got you.
Melissa Ortiz
I might want to rub on your knee, but not.
Camila Ramon
I mean, just get what you pay for.
Melissa Ortiz
It is what it is, man.
Camila Ramon
It was one of those vans that has the ladder on the back.
Melissa Ortiz
Where does that ladder go to?
Camila Ramon
I've never understood using that ladder. Who's CL that going? It had the spare tire. Ship no tire.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, def. Hasn't been a tire in this since 96. Look, it's closing there.
Camila Ramon
We got, we got to Kia's building. He said, I used to teach tennis there. I said, no, you didn't. I swear to God. Used to be a tennis instructor there.
Melissa Ortiz
I was like, no, you.
Camila Ramon
No, you. You do not play tennis, dog. You rape children.
Eric Andre

A decade, the Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.

What?
Eric Andre
What happened?
Camila Ramon
Another in between watching Sierra, I did see this clip over the weekend. Bow wow left what I think was a voice note or a voicemail to Elliot Wilson. Which of Course, he played on his podcast, because that's what we do with private moments as podcasters is play them for the world. Let's hear this real quick.
Melissa Ortiz
Josh, straight up, man to man.
Camila Ramon
My coming at you like a man.
Melissa Ortiz
Like a grown man. You do like, what's the issue with me? And you let me know. Cause I don't know. So I'm coming at you in private instead of doing some whole ass in private.
Camila Ramon
And then Elliot plays at the top.
Melissa Ortiz
10 record right now.
Camila Ramon
Like, I ain't got time for that. But I want to know what the issue is, though.
Melissa Ortiz
My couple, my send me this tweet talking about you won't like where that energy coming from.
Camila Ramon
That's what I want to know. Holla at me man to man.
Melissa Ortiz
Don't go post. No, don't do that.
Camila Ramon
Don't do that.
Melissa Ortiz
Weak. I'm coming to you man to man. And I highly respect you. I always big you up, said that you wanted to mo you the pioneer.
Camila Ramon
This Elliot Wilson is one of the.
Melissa Ortiz
Ones that I do the only, like, one of the only I do an.
Camila Ramon
Interview with like, you.
Melissa Ortiz
Sway.
Camila Ramon
Pause, pause, pause, pause. How could I make this about me?
Melissa Ortiz
Send prayers and condolences first. Gotta start.
Camila Ramon
It's always prayers and condolences.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Because I think Bow Wow is a legend. But he's saying he only the people from the mold, like Elliot Wilson, Sway. Like, we don't have the greatest Bow Wow interview of all time. If you haven't seen, why didn't he say Elliot Wilson, Simpson, Sway, Rory and Mo. That's my only issue with this.
Eric Andre
He already did us, so he wouldn't name us. We pioneered that. We went through that. So he ain't got to grow through that.
Melissa Ortiz
Grow through that. That was a shot of his height.
Eric Andre
See, no, See, no.
Melissa Ortiz
That's what you just said. Grow through that.
Eric Andre
Go look up the Rory and Mall Bow Wow interview. It's one of our greatest interviews we've ever done.
Melissa Ortiz
Shout out to JD Shout out to Bow Wow. Man. That was. That was a lot of fun down in Atlanta with them, man Sweat.
Camila Ramon
Sway is a hero of mine, one of the greatest to ever do it. But he never had Bow Wow. Say, Yo, I got 1.5 million in cash. I'm bringing it to the studio right now.
Melissa Ortiz
You're not.
Camila Ramon
I've never seen Sway do that.
Melissa Ortiz
Nah, never.
Camila Ramon
Sway's talked to Tupac, but he didn't have 1.5 million cash.
Melissa Ortiz
No. Nope.
Camila Ramon
I think Pac just had a debit card on him.
Melissa Ortiz
But why is Elliot. Why is Elliot doing this, though. Like, why is he doing this?
Eric Andre
Seriously? You have to ask Elliot, baby.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, this is the funny. The reason why I like this, though, is because I like what Bow Wow saying. I'm not trying to make this no public thing. And then Elliot makes it a public thing.
Camila Ramon
I. I will say. And you guys know I'm a defender of Elliot. This is out of his character for me. I feel like he had to have had a conversation with Bow Wow that he was going to play it. Like, as much as Elliott does do messy shit, he does still have the journalistic integrity where I don't. I don't think he would do this without. I could be wrong.
Eric Andre
I think he. I think you're wrong, but I agree with you usually on Elliott, but I don't think Bow Wow approved.
Melissa Ortiz
West Coast Will's been wilding, though. West Coast Wilson. West Coast Wilson different, man.
Camila Ramon
He not from Queens no more.
Melissa Ortiz
Nah. West Coast Wilson been tripping, man. I'm telling you, man. He.
Camila Ramon
I know Elliot from Woodside. I don't know Elliot from Carson.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, you don't know West Coast Wilson. West Coast Wilson been going crazy, man. He doing all kind of out of character, man. What's up? Like, how you play a. A. A. A voice note that he clearly didn't want to be a public thing. Clearly.
Camila Ramon
He starts out by saying, yeah, like.
Melissa Ortiz
I ain't trying to.
Camila Ramon
This is a private situation.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, I ain't trying to make this no public thing. And here come West Coast Wilson speak of the microphone, playing the whole voice note, man.
Camila Ramon
And Jeremy throwing shots. We might have to ignite this beef. Keep playing in the name of Shad Moss. I'm. I'm riding with him.
Melissa Ortiz
Issue with me, because a lot of my homies just sent me some, and I just want to know where that energy coming from. Is that right? Is that Playboy Cardi?
Eric Andre
Yo, bye bye.
Melissa Ortiz
Because he knows that's not Playboy Carti.
Camila Ramon
Nobody knows what Playboy Cardi sounds like who's ever heard his voice.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, is that Playboy Cardi? You know goddamn well that ain't no.
Camila Ramon
Damn half of his album. I thought it was Yachty.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I don't know. West Coast Wilson been tripping, man. He been tripping.
Camila Ramon
Should we beef?
Melissa Ortiz
Me?
Camila Ramon
Yes, let's ignite the beef. I follow Jeremy. I don't even like how amazingly happy he looks with his significant other. Stop posting all that happy on your ig, bro.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, yeah, I don't.
Camila Ramon
Weird, man.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, I don't. I don't.
Camila Ramon
All that happiness.
Eric Andre
Do y'all think that almost like if you send a voicemail to a rapper, do y'all think that if you send a voice. Anything voice related.
Camila Ramon
I want to interrupt you. You think we've sent a voicemail to a rapper?
Eric Andre
I'm saying when you. When anybody does. It's a thing. Voicemail rappers, they become so interludes on out.
Camila Ramon
I love Marvin's room, too.
Eric Andre
Okay. So what I'm saying is, do you feel like that same thing should be applied where it's like, if you send something to a podcaster, if you tell something to a podcaster, you know that there's a chance it might become content. Do you think that that applies?
Melissa Ortiz
No.
Eric Andre
Just because we don't operate like that doesn't. And honestly, sometimes we do. We've said some that our friends would have rather not say.
Camila Ramon
Cord's gonna kill me after this. This entire episode.
Eric Andre
Yeah. So I'm saying, like, should we. Should people consider that when they're sending what's very obviously content to a podcaster? Because he should have text that. If I was Bow Wow, I wouldn't have sent that voice note. I would have text that shit.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, what's one of my favorite people? She blocked me after I spoke about us just having a conversation. It wasn't even nothing crazy. I didn't play no voice note. I would never do that, though. But, yeah, I just said, you know, thank you for reaching out and telling me about, you know, how you felt. She. She blocked me.
Camila Ramon
I mean, you knew why, though.
Eric Andre
That was.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, look.
Camila Ramon
Look what happens when I'm not around.
Melissa Ortiz
I know why now. I didn't know why then.
Camila Ramon
I'm the one that protects black women.
Melissa Ortiz
On. I didn't think it was a problem. I didn't say nothing bad.
Eric Andre
You didn't say anything bad. But sometimes people, you know, the alliances with that entire thing and how messy that was. She can't be seen talking to you.
Melissa Ortiz
What?
Camila Ramon
Damaris is right. What world do we live in? I get why she bls you.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't.
Camila Ramon
I do.
Melissa Ortiz
That's crazy, man. Like, at that.
Camila Ramon
At that point, if it was something.
Melissa Ortiz
Bad, if it was something negative, then I understand. But it wasn't. It was a.
Camila Ramon
Just.
Melissa Ortiz
Just the ideas.
Camila Ramon
The idea of there being a conversation should have been private, just of optics. Like, she's a superstar attached to somebody that you have been viral screaming about. Like, yeah, I. I see it. I'm not saying it's right, but I get it.
Melissa Ortiz
Yo, this world is weird, man. This world.
Camila Ramon
But she would probably say it would be weird, like, I thought it was a private conversation. Why would you talk about it? But again, that's kind of what she was bringing up as far as, like, podcasters talking.
Melissa Ortiz
I was saying thank you because I didn't want to come across like, I really had an issue with this person. So I was saying thank you for reaching out and just, like, having that conversation with me.
Eric Andre
But you already thanked her, so why did it need to be said on the podcast?
Melissa Ortiz
Why not? It's nothing negative.
Eric Andre
But that's the conversation that we're having, is we're having a problem.
Melissa Ortiz
This is negative, though. That's what I'm saying. If I bring some. If I bring some negative shit that's private to the forefront, then it's like, yeah, but if I'm bringing some positive shit.
Eric Andre
But negative is. That's to somebody else to assume that's for other people to decide what's negative for them or not. Because her. Her. Her conversation that she might have when she went back into work could have been negative. You. You never know.
Melissa Ortiz
But that's stupid.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, you don't know. Was in her group chat.
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
With the affiliates that are attached to everything that was happening. They was probably looking at her like, yo, why you hitting him up?
Eric Andre
You can't say, you be the op. Yes, Ma, I get what you're saying. And that makes he's the op. But you're also the same person who was screaming, nah, stay on that side. Stay on that side. So when somebody gets caught not staying on their side, you can't not understand why they would block you from making that public knowledge.
Melissa Ortiz
But that's. It's a. That's a whole totally different scenario, though. Okay.
Eric Andre
Yeah, we can agree to disagree.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's why she blocked you.
Eric Andre
But, yeah, I think sometimes. Sometimes podcasters, not us, we're not that bad at it, but other people might lean in too much. And it's like, I know we all need content and we all need money. The podcast world is drying up. But there is.
Melissa Ortiz
Podcast world is drying up. It is.
Eric Andre
That is drying up. And you said what?
Melissa Ortiz
Tell it to Rogan.
Camila Ramon
I don't know if that's a great example.
Eric Andre
There's out outliers everywhere. It doesn't mean that the industry itself isn't becoming oversaturated and underpaid, but people are grabbing for clicks and doing whatever they can for clicks, but sometimes you're going to burn some bridges that you can't walk back across in doing so.
Melissa Ortiz
That's what I've been trying to tell a Whole year.
Camila Ramon
And that's why we have to pay for scissor tickets instead of getting the free passes. I used to.
Melissa Ortiz
That has nothing to do with me. That has nothing to do with me. Don't put me in that. Keep them all out of that. That has nothing to do with me.
Camila Ramon
You did that. I can't get TD tickets. And then I said the push up comment. Now I can't get ovo tickets.
Eric Andre
So same.
Melissa Ortiz
You did that to yourself. So I know I said I have nothing to do. Oh, okay. I have nothing to do with none of that.
Camila Ramon
Well, I always admit when I have done some dumb and said something I shouldn't have said.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay, that's fair.
Camila Ramon
And had it. Had the real version leaked first, I think we would have avoided that entire thing. It was just. Just because that validated what everyone thought was AI because they saw me quoted two weeks. You know, listen, it's been a year. We're all healing.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm healed.
Camila Ramon
Everyone has a good aura now.
Melissa Ortiz
Light green. You see me peach? Put it around me.
Eric Andre
Mine is red and pink. It's kind of flirty right now.
Melissa Ortiz
Red and pink. Was that like day four of your cycle?
Camila Ramon
That was actually hilarious. I'm not gonna lie. That was actually really, really, really funny. I don actually getting the credit of how funny that fucking was.
Eric Andre
Where's hr?
Camila Ramon
It was a fucking brilliant joke.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, man.
Camila Ramon
Spotty joke, if you will.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm sorry. Yes. Spot, spot on. Spot on. Spot on, spot on, spot on. Speaking of red, Chris Brown don't want any of y'all wearing red bandanas.
Camila Ramon
Nah, we gang banging to his show.
Melissa Ortiz
To his show, to his stadium tour. Please leave the red bandanas at home. Chris Brown says, I see a lot of the fans collectively telling Team Breezy to wear red bandanas to the concert. Concert. I would highly advise y'all to not do that.
Camila Ramon
Don't do that at the Sophie Stadium.
Melissa Ortiz
Just get brown bandanas so y'all won't run into any problems. I don't want people to get the wrong impression and promote the wrong thing. Y'all know I'm Bris Breezy, but we promoting positivity on this tour. Thank you and I love you. Shout out to Chris Brown for that message. He needed to clear that up.
Camila Ramon
This is why I love Chris Brown. Every time he makes a very mature statement, it he has to find some way to it up.
Melissa Ortiz
He didn't it up. We kept it crisp.
Camila Ramon
What was the last incident when he was clearing up? He said the most positive. Oh, I think it was something had to do with, like, pronouns or whatever. He said an amazing thing cleared up. Whatever. Maybe he said on Twitter and then after that, said, nah, I only identify as a Piru, so I don't really care about that pronoun shit. I was like, you. You were doing so good.
Eric Andre
Yeah, you.
Camila Ramon
You smoked this pr. And then end. I just. I identify as Piru.
Melissa Ortiz
But, you know, Chris, like, shout out to Chris that. That is a good message to send. But he. He gotta know that that's gonna backfire and they still gonna wear them red bandanas. He has to know that, like, they gonna make it a thing now. Like, now it's like Beyonce with the silver. It's gonna be everybody. It's gonna be everybody wearing red to Chris Brown concert for sure.
Camila Ramon
But why end it with, I'm still breast breezy. Like, we understand what you.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, but he won't let you know. Like, you know, I'm still. You know, I'm still on that.
Camila Ramon
I think everyone in the treetop area is fine without that last statement.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, but, you know, Chris is.
Camila Ramon
He's cool.
Melissa Ortiz
Just wanted to let y'all know what it is. Y'all know we ain't. We're not stepping away from that. But we just doing something.
Camila Ramon
Okay?
Melissa Ortiz
We just doing something. We doing something different on this stadium tour. But, you know, people are going to find a way to, you know, make. Let that backfire and wear red bandanas anyway.
Camila Ramon
If you were to join a gang as an adult, which one would you join?
Melissa Ortiz
I would never join a gang as an adult.
Camila Ramon
I'm just. I mean, hypothetically. Listen, I was talking about cherries with Usher. I'm not doing that. But if in the event in your 20s, you move to California. What? Like, who would you like to exploit you?
Melissa Ortiz
Nobody's exploiting me, bro. I don't even know how to answer. It's not happening.
Camila Ramon
All right, I'll say nicer. Who would you like to extort? You.
Melissa Ortiz
Nope, not touching that one either. No, just rapid. Do we have voicemails?
Camila Ramon
Adam tried to bring on some Crip to talk about the Big U shit and all. The guy kept saying, I don't know who he was, but I appreciated it. He just said, free all the Crips. And I was like, well, don't you actually have beef with that? Free all the Crips. They did nothing wrong.
Melissa Ortiz
Free everybody.
Camila Ramon
They're all innocent.
Melissa Ortiz
Yes.
Camila Ramon
That's the type of energy I like seeing from people on. On those platforms.
Melissa Ortiz
Oh, yes. It's going to be different on.
Camila Ramon
Adam thought he was getting a whole fucking interview. That guy was like, yo, I got to leave in 15 minutes. He's like, can I at least get, like, 30 to talk about this? He's like, free. Free the Crips.
Melissa Ortiz
Absolutely. That's it? You're gonna give me a record saying nothing incriminating?
Camila Ramon
I don't know, man. I've read some paperwork. Some people should go to jail.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, that's true. I agree that. I agree with some people.
Camila Ramon
Some menaces to society out there. For real.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Voicemails, though.
Melissa Ortiz
You've got mail.
Camila Ramon
I'm gonna get killed when we go to la.
Melissa Ortiz
Hey, guys, this is Terry from Chicago.
Eric Andre
Hey, Terry.
Melissa Ortiz
I came to your show last year. It was a great time.
Camila Ramon
Time, great show.
Melissa Ortiz
And I just had a quick question. So I'm a food scientist, and I'm always curious to see, like, what people's thoughts are when it comes. When it's food related. So my question is, what's your most unpopular food opinion and the reasoning behind it? What's my. Your most unpopular food opinion?
Camila Ramon
Eating eggs. Is eating an abortion.
Melissa Ortiz
A point?
Camila Ramon
Shrimp is just roaches that breathe salt water.
Melissa Ortiz
Oysters are disgusting.
Eric Andre
They're gonna kill you for that one.
Camila Ramon
O. Oysters are gross. You're just horny. That's really all it is.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, it's just not. I don't care. You can put the lemon juice and hot sauce on it all you want. That is just snot. Eating snot.
Camila Ramon
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Like, guys, I get it, but it's like, all right, what are we talking about? That is not. Not it.
Camila Ramon
Lobsters are also just bugs that taste like butter.
Melissa Ortiz
Yes.
Camila Ramon
There's nothing really good about lobster until you throw butter all over it. So just melt butter and eat butter.
Melissa Ortiz
Calamari is like eating rubber bands.
Eric Andre
See, now I'mma whoop your ass. See? See you being disrespectful.
Camila Ramon
I don't dislike calamari. I never understood the allure of it. Like, yeah, it's like rubber onion rings.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it's rubber.
Camila Ramon
What the are we doing over there?
Melissa Ortiz
It's like the washes that you put on the sink when you got a leak, you got to put the. The black wash on there to tighten. Tighten it up.
Eric Andre
If y'all go to the wrong restaurant, please know that you're not eating calamari. You're actually eating pig. Just thought I'd let you know.
Melissa Ortiz
Pig. How many pigs? Because you only have one, right?
Eric Andre
I think so, yeah. They cut it into multiple assholes.
Melissa Ortiz
So, like, you talking. Oh, you talking about, like, Chitlins chopped up?
Eric Andre
Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
Nah, I don't think so.
Camila Ramon
Okay, then I need to ask.
Eric Andre
I think my most unpopular food opinion is that everything vinegar related is nasty. Salt and vinegar nasty.
Melissa Ortiz
Well, salt and vinegar chips. Yeah.
Eric Andre
I'm not nasty. Pickles themselves are good, but the way it sits in the pickling process of vinegar, nasty. Vinegar is disgusting.
Camila Ramon
Oh, yeah. I'd rather just drink the Jameson than the pickleback shot. It's gross. Pickle juice is disgusting.
Eric Andre
Well, I actually like pickleback shots, like, weirdly enough. But, yeah, vinegar is nasty as fuck.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
I mean, salt and vinegar chips are some of the best chips. No, oil and vinegar on a turkey sandwich from the deli is unmatched.
Eric Andre
Just put the oil, keep the vinegar.
Melissa Ortiz
You need a little bit of vinegar. Not heavy Vin. Don't go heavy Vin.
Eric Andre
Just put some banana peppers on it.
Camila Ramon
I mean, when it's. When it's spotting, it tastes like vinegar.
Melissa Ortiz
Mm. I have nothing for that.
Camila Ramon
I was gonna sit quietly until you replied to that.
Melissa Ortiz
I don't have nothing. This dude is crazy. Oh, another unpopular food opinion.
Camila Ramon
Duck is just greasy ass bad chicken.
Melissa Ortiz
I hate duck.
Camila Ramon
Duck is not good.
Melissa Ortiz
I ate duck once in my life, and it was just like you said. Oily, greasy, chewy.
Eric Andre
Didn't mind it.
Melissa Ortiz
Nah, I can't. I can't do duck.
Camila Ramon
Lamb is better than steak.
Melissa Ortiz
Not mad.
Eric Andre
I'm pissed a little.
Melissa Ortiz
A good lamb chop.
Eric Andre
A good lamb chop is good, but a good steak is legendary.
Melissa Ortiz
Not better than a good lamb chop.
Eric Andre
I think it's because a good lamb.
Melissa Ortiz
Chop beats a good steak.
Eric Andre
A good lamb chop is more rare. I think that's the issue.
Melissa Ortiz
Whatever you want to call it, it's.
Eric Andre
Harder to find than a good steak. But a good steak cooked perfectly. You bug the out.
Melissa Ortiz
Lamb chop.
Eric Andre
Nah, bro. I love lamb chops. But a good. A good steak is legendary, bro.
Melissa Ortiz
Cuz lamb chops is like. It's almost like the. The. The. It's like, shots. It's like the perfect portion. Eat a couple of them good steak, you gonna get halfway through and be like, yeah, I'm full. Yeah, but if it's size a good.
Camila Ramon
Lamb chop, we going out after this.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, man. A good lamb chop beats a good steak.
Eric Andre
I think it's a recency bias.
Melissa Ortiz
Recency bias? I've been eating lamb chop since I was four years old.
Eric Andre
Yeah, but you know how we say recency bias in music? Like, if we've been listening to the same way y'all told me, like, dilemma was overrated. I'm like, it's because y'all have heard it 3 million times, so it don't hit the way it did when you first heard it. And I think it's not better than.
Melissa Ortiz
I stand by that.
Camila Ramon
So which is lamb and which lamb is like. Lamb is dilemma.
Eric Andre
No, lamb is best of me.
Camila Ramon
Okay, which version?
Eric Andre
Yeah, the Jay Z version.
Melissa Ortiz
Okay, so it's the best. It's better than your opinion. Okay. Yeah. All right, that's fair.
Camila Ramon
Remember when Game and 50 were arguing about who Maya first in their beef? Hip Hop has had some nasty years that we just.
Eric Andre
And Game has been a part of a lot of them.
Camila Ramon
One of my goats.
Melissa Ortiz
Shout out the game.
Eric Andre
Yeah, but I think. I think that's it on unpopular food opinions. I think a lot of people should be more honest about the things that they put into their body. All of us included. We're all learning. Pasta is. Is not good for you.
Melissa Ortiz
Heavy cream American pasta is not good for you. You go to Italy, who thinks pasta.
Camila Ramon
Is good for you?
Eric Andre
Some people not good. But some people don't know how bad it is. They're not aware that it's sugar. A lot of people are not aware that all of that stuff breaks down into sugar sweet breakfasts. I know that mall got killed breakfast.
Melissa Ortiz
Because if you go to Italy, like, you go, like, overseas and eat pasta. Like, my homeboy was in Italy for a month and ate more pasta. He thought he gained 30 pounds. He came home, he lost 20 pounds. So it's clearly just preservatives and stuff they're putting in pasta here.
Eric Andre
And sweets. You should not be eating sweets first thing in morning. Like when they killed you for that juice take. You should not be eating sweets first in the morning. That's an American thing. Sweet pancakes, sweet French toast, sweets, all of that. That is going to crash your blood sugar later on during the day. You should not be waking up eating sweets.
Melissa Ortiz
They killed me for that.
Eric Andre
Yeah, they killed you for that. For saying people can't drink juice in the morning.
Melissa Ortiz
Love them Snapples in the morning.
Eric Andre
Boy, Snapple is crazy.
Camila Ramon
Every day on the way to school is crazy.
Melissa Ortiz
Jobs, drinks, drink Pepsi every day, all day.
Camila Ramon
Listen, but that's his vice, though.
Eric Andre
Like, he don't drink liquor, though.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, he don't. He has no vices.
Melissa Ortiz
Sugar is worse than liquor to me. It is.
Eric Andre
It is.
Melissa Ortiz
Even though there's a lot of sugar in liquor. But Pepsi A, drinking Pepsi in 2025 is crazy. I don't know anybody that drink Pepsi. Like, well, you see somebody go to somebody crib and they Got Pepsi in their fridge. Think about it.
Eric Andre
Every once in a while I'll crave.
Camila Ramon
It's actually kind of sick. Like go to somebody's crib, you got Pepsi in there.
Melissa Ortiz
A having Pepsi in his fridge. Like a nigga having a fish tank. Who got fish tanks anymore? Don't have fish tanks. Well, that's how you went to somebody else. And he had a fish tank. A fish tank. The big shits too. I walk in somebody house and they got a fish. I'm like, no fish either. Yeah, what's up with you though? What you going through a fish tank? Like you take this out every month and clean this. Like, get the out of here. A fish tank. Who has a fish tank? Yo, just think about the things we used to see. That was common. Regular Pepsi used to be common. Now you open somebody fridge to see a pep. The only time you'll see a Pepsi in somebody fridge is if they took everything left over from the baby shower.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, it's been there for six months.
Eric Andre
Yeah, I had a 2 liter Pepsi in my refrigerator for at least three months. I just never threw it away. Like I had took one sip out of it because I was. I ordered pizza and I had people at my house and I was like, damn. Like this nostalgic. You get the pizza with the Pepsi. That shit sad.
Melissa Ortiz
Pepsi is like, Pepsi. Pepsi is almost like the ketchup pack is in the drawer. Yeah, we not eating them shits. Like, you know what it's going to take for us to get down a bus and one of those open?
Camila Ramon
Like, like, why are you saving the soy sauce? You're going to get it with your Chinese meals. Like, stop saving soy sauce.
Melissa Ortiz
This with every delivery dog. Like, why are you saving all of this? Like, that's what having Pepsi in the fridge is like. Pepsi.
Eric Andre
You got to save the chick fil A sauces, though.
Camila Ramon
That's different.
Melissa Ortiz
You got to save crazy. That's different. The Polynesian is a little different. That's a little. You know what I'm saying? But Pepsi homophobic.
Camila Ramon
But it's is great.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, Pepsi N. I can't. You can't drink Pepsi, bro. We gotta get Josh on. I gotta get you on a new soda, man. I gotta get you on a new soda.
Camila Ramon
All right. What's the new soda?
Melissa Ortiz
I'm just saying. Pepsi. Let's just get away from Pepsi. Like, let's try soda.
Camila Ramon
Soda. Like what?
Eric Andre
We can get them like a poppy or like a bubbly or like a, you know, something like healthy, like a Olipop.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, we ain't going. That's sponsor opportunity.
Camila Ramon
Josh, the producer. Yeah, use code Josh.
Melissa Ortiz
I can't argue. I can't argue with that. Olip it is, man.
Camila Ramon
Greatest ever. We're doing ad.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, we're doing an ad. If you on the block Ollie Pop, I'll get in here and start.
Eric Andre
Yo, look at. Look at this dancing, man.
Camila Ramon
Listen, yo, can you believe there was a time in an era that we were drinking Red Bull and vodka together?
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Like this. This world is designed to kill us.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, yeah.
Camila Ramon
We drank. We drank Snapples and ate bacon, egg and cheese every morning as children just to then go drink vodka and Red Bull as adults.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, it's bad.
Camila Ramon
Like I'd love to know what my intestines really look like.
Eric Andre
No.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, they. They can't be good. Yeah.
Melissa Ortiz
So people killing me for that. I'm just. Listen, man, I'm just trying to. You know, just.
Eric Andre
Our most viral clip we've ever had.
Melissa Ortiz
Really.
Camila Ramon
Yes. That is a social experiment.
Melissa Ortiz
Yo, it's.
Camila Ramon
I'm so fascinated by that.
Melissa Ortiz
It's crazy because it's. It's such an honest thing though. Like if you wake up, there's no reason why the first thing you're drinking should be like. Like the leftover bottle of juice you had from last night. Like, who. Why would you even do that unless you're drunk?
Eric Andre
Cuz juice when you're drunk, waking up first thing. No, when you drunk. No, you shouldn't be drinking it. But juice hits when you're drunk when you first.
Melissa Ortiz
That's just not healthy, man. Just, you know, just some tea gets you, you know, get the fresh water and.
Eric Andre
First of all, it shouldn't even be tea. The first thing you drink when you wake up should be water or that.
Melissa Ortiz
I'm not mad if some room temp.
Camila Ramon
I can't those organs.
Melissa Ortiz
Cold water in the morning.
Eric Andre
That's crazy. That such a shock to the.
Melissa Ortiz
Got to do room temp water when you wake up. You know what I'm saying? Get some tea, then get some fr. You know, saying maybe a smoothie or something.
Eric Andre
Coffee. A lot of. A lot of people start coughing.
Melissa Ortiz
I mean, I don't think that's the first thing you should drink, but.
Eric Andre
Okay, but what's the difference between coffee and Tito? More. That's why they.
Melissa Ortiz
Big difference. What's the difference between coffee and tea?
Eric Andre
What's the difference as far as health benefits and health. Like what? What. What's the difference? They both have an insane amount of caffeine in them. Unless you're drinking Like a.
Melissa Ortiz
A herbal tea, ginger tea. Yeah. Like who? Ginger little peppermint tea in the morning, Ginger tea, green tea.
Camila Ramon
The lemon ginger tea does not have caffeine in it, okay?
Melissa Ortiz
So.
Camila Ramon
Yeah, nor does the peppermint tea. See, I don't.
Eric Andre
I start my day off with caffeine.
Camila Ramon
Also, one hasn't caffeine.
Eric Andre
So either tea or coffee.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah, no, see, I go straight tea, ginger tea in the morning, then you sit on the toilet, get everything out. You know what I mean?
Camila Ramon
Oh, you get the. The detox tea that the.
Melissa Ortiz
No, what was the. The ginger.
Camila Ramon
Not even IG chicks before that. The Twitter chicks. What were they selling? The Keisha kick fit T. You be drinking 50 in the morning.
Melissa Ortiz
Just ginger tea, bro. That's all you need. Ginger tea. That's going to get everything. That's going to flush you get all that out of there.
Camila Ramon
I'm so mad I have not checked that off my bucket list of having, like a high price scam that makes so much money for one year. Like, we, like those chicks made a lot of money selling detox tea. That was excellent. All that did was just make chicks have diarrhea.
Melissa Ortiz
Yeah.
Camila Ramon
Whoever sold 15 tea that year probably cleared $5 million.
Eric Andre
