Speaker 1: listen to my brother, like, because my brother is some
Speaker 1: like tough guy. You know, we don't you don't find

Speaker 1: did indoor trigger treating, which the yeah, you break into
Speaker 1: someone's house and go through and say trigger treat. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take your most that's just hide and seek where
Speaker 1: I hid with candy and then they find me snuck
Speaker 1: on the door, say trig or treat. They had fun.
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I felt so sad for them. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is the most pathetic thing. But we had We
Speaker 1: had a good time. And you know what, they'll never
Speaker 1: remember it like that. They'll be like, man, our dad
Speaker 1: was a good man. He even though it was he
Speaker 1: was so bad at pretending he was different people behind
Speaker 1: those doors, he's still He tried to make me astronaut
Speaker 1: and his cool pilot that wore a wig that I
Speaker 1: definitely ate a lot of candy that I didn't treat.
Speaker 1: I just bought a wild bag of candy. Fucking ate
Speaker 1: that ship. My coping mechanism for this election, it turns
Speaker 1: out as diabetes eating myself into a pre diabetic state.
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know what did see. This
Speaker 1: is what's funny is as we have avoid talking about
Speaker 1: what's happening today on earth in our United States, I
Speaker 1: just you know, like that grab bag that always comes out,
Speaker 1: who is it like Hershey's makes that always has like
Speaker 1: your same staples six, like your Snickers, Milk Baby Ruth,
Speaker 1: butter fingers and ship like that or whatever. You always
Speaker 1: get those very things. I think butter fingers did the
Speaker 1: recipe change. They don't stop my teeth the same. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm brushing better. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out. Um, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: before we get into our self care routines and opposite
Speaker 1: of self care check ins. With the state of our
Speaker 1: nation heading into this election, we wanted to ask the
Speaker 1: two of you if there's anything from your search history
Speaker 1: that you'd you'd like to share with the people that
Speaker 1: will reveal who you are, what you are, what you're
Speaker 1: up to, any of that. Super producer on a Hosny
Speaker 1: I hit it. I don't looking. I was looking at
Speaker 1: the last narc What about Enrique Kiki Comrina from Narcos?
Speaker 1: They like the dude who Homeboy plays. I mean, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen Narcos, but I guess he's like it's basically
Speaker 1: he's the real Narco. Yeah, there's a documentary on Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime that I was checking out about him, and basically,
Speaker 1: you know, it always comes. It was an interesting story.
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard about, but how he was basically, um,
Speaker 1: you know he was was he a d A, He's
Speaker 1: a fed of some sort, but he like over fucked
Speaker 1: over the cartel and then um, the CIA basically helped
Speaker 1: kill him because they were, you know, hiding, they were
Speaker 1: hiding stuff, they were they were you know, they were
Speaker 1: doing that Conscraus thing. Yeah, well look, bro, I can't
Speaker 1: really make it hot for these guys because for this
Speaker 1: other thing I got going. So we're just going to
Speaker 1: turn a blind eye to that horrific c I a
Speaker 1: was helping move cocaine to get guns for the It
Speaker 1: was you know that gotta love the CIA. So they
Speaker 1: read it out this dude, they told you they help
Speaker 1: the Mexican drug lords. Yeah, I think they also just
Speaker 1: kind of helped facilitate the murder based on my understanding.
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's what the other other d agents
Speaker 1: who are were investigating it kind of figured out. They
Speaker 1: were like, oh this, Yeah. I mean eventually one of
Speaker 1: the drug lords was convicted for the murder. But like
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of like yeah, but yeah, they're like, well
Speaker 1: I guess you have someone involved. You want to just
Speaker 1: take it very superficially. Yeah, that was like the whole
Speaker 1: if you want, if you want the dramatic sized version,
Speaker 1: I think Narcos Mexico Season one is a lot of
Speaker 1: its centered around that because they sort of look at
Speaker 1: that as like the beginnings of that drug war between
Speaker 1: the US and Mexico. But you gotta love a d
Speaker 1: h d E. A agent whose nickname is Kiki, and
Speaker 1: then Kiki got murder. You're like, oh no, but yeah,
Speaker 1: the documentary is called The Last narc So check that
Speaker 1: out if you're some light viewing on the selection day.
Speaker 1: J Daniel, you gotta you got anything from your search history? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Steam and PS five controller because and another act of
Speaker 1: you know whatever, playing with my feelings and emotions. I
Speaker 1: still have not gotten a PS five pre order, but
Speaker 1: my controller came, so I'm just you have a controller, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: one day, it's so same, dude, it's so sick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really cool, touch and look at and just be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this thing will do something somedays. Trying to it hard
Speaker 1: to get a pre order, see the thing, it's hard
Speaker 1: to gets five pre order, But the controller not peripherals.
Speaker 1: You can get a lot of peripherals or if you
Speaker 1: want some skins outer cases. Yeah. I knew I was
Speaker 1: going to get a controller, So when the first pres
Speaker 1: five pre orders were coming out, I dropped a PS
Speaker 1: five and another controller in my cart. The PS five
Speaker 1: just flew right on out of there, and the controller
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, we're on the way. So I'm
Speaker 1: just sitting here with this thing trying to figure out
Speaker 1: how to make it work on my computer. Um, it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have any off white shoes, but
Speaker 1: I have the shoelaces and the little red band that
Speaker 1: you put around it that I put around my dirty
Speaker 1: old Uh. Like, I've never seen this collab before. What's
Speaker 1: something you guys think is underrated? I don't you want
Speaker 1: to go for it? Sure? I think being a diva
Speaker 1: mm hmm. I'm just listening, but I always felt like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess more so now that I'm hearing
Speaker 1: her story, Like you know the I guess in culture,
Speaker 1: we've taken diva and added like a negative connotation to it.
Speaker 1: But like if a guy is being like demanding and
Speaker 1: you know, being like this is how I like things,
Speaker 1: this is how I want it, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to um, you know, yeah, like I'm not going to come.
Speaker 1: My people are like, man, what he wants? You know,
Speaker 1: that guy should be president? And that's like a woman.
Speaker 1: You're like, what a diva? But it's like, hey, a
Speaker 1: diva is a that's like a I wish I was
Speaker 1: more of a diva instead of like crumbling in on
Speaker 1: myself constantly human being, Like I wish I had more
Speaker 1: like a confidence to be like, no, that's not how
Speaker 1: I want it. I would like it this way. Um. Also,
Speaker 1: like just if someone is being an asshole, just called
Speaker 1: him an asshole and then don't try and be like
Speaker 1: she's being a diva. It's like, now she's being an
Speaker 1: asshole like any other guy who can be an asshole.
Speaker 1: It's like we're all you know, we're all assholes. Dion
Speaker 1: is not an asshole, Solen Dion is a diva, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, there you go. It's weird
Speaker 1: when you look at like the definition. The third definition
Speaker 1: of diva is the one that's like a self important
Speaker 1: person who's temperamental and difficult to ease, typically used double woman. Okay,
Speaker 1: Oxford funk up for a second. I wonder when they
Speaker 1: added that, because I feel like before it alway used
Speaker 1: to be. Like when the VH one Diva series came out,
Speaker 1: I felt like we weren't really talking about people like
Speaker 1: they were divas, like until after that. Like, I feel
Speaker 1: like that v H one series re ignited the I
Speaker 1: don't know, the diva wave assholes or assholes, y'all just
Speaker 1: keep it like that. I like that the used in
Speaker 1: a sentence, she is much more the dedicated maverick than
Speaker 1: the petulant diva. So let's start calling yeah, I'm a maverick.
Speaker 1: Yeah mah, who was that? What election was that when
Speaker 1: someone was a maverick? S Well, it was McCain was
Speaker 1: for being And then they were like, it's a real
Speaker 1: maverick move to pick this premises to scuttle your own election. Bid. Um,
Speaker 1: what is something dj anial you think is underrated? Uh?
Speaker 1: But this might be a little local but bub and
Speaker 1: Grandma's bread, But I will localize it to just local
Speaker 1: bakery bread, like you know, going to your supermarkets or
Speaker 1: whatever you get a fresh loaf. It just does not
Speaker 1: compare to a actual local baker, someone who is committing
Speaker 1: to their craft of like making good ass bread. And
Speaker 1: you know this might be later in terms of things
Speaker 1: that we're eating our feelings for but like, bread is
Speaker 1: so damn good and getting a good ass loaf of
Speaker 1: bread is just untouchable. Major underrated. You know what funked
Speaker 1: with me is when somebody told me that bread is
Speaker 1: not a solid, it's a foam that they just like
Speaker 1: baked into place. Well, then fuck you, bro, I mean
Speaker 1: foam because it actually made me like like it more.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite foam. You guys, you can have some
Speaker 1: sour dough foam. And here also also no surprise to
Speaker 1: end you one. I got my bub and Grandma's shirt
Speaker 1: right here that I picked up always supporting local, how
Speaker 1: to support I feel like every town has a baker,
Speaker 1: don't they like it's not like a city thing, because
Speaker 1: I feel like, ever go there's somebody baking bread exactly
Speaker 1: exactly your local bakers there, you know, above board. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's something you think is overrated? Um now
Speaker 1: this might get me in some trouble. But the CIA,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? What a bunch of dude. They don't
Speaker 1: even know how to do anything. All they do is
Speaker 1: show up in other people's elections and fun things up.
Speaker 1: They can't do a goddamn thing in their own home,
Speaker 1: and what are we doing here? Why do you show
Speaker 1: up in like influence us into a democracy or something
Speaker 1: like what the fuck you're all up atting like Nicaragua,
Speaker 1: Iran anywhere that it's like they don't even want you,
Speaker 1: Like why don't you do something where it matters like
Speaker 1: your own goddamn country. And yes, I'm sorry you must
Speaker 1: not have heard the latest que drop of the deep
Speaker 1: state is all up in this election on the CIA
Speaker 1: is uh, well, I'll believe it when I see it, honey,
Speaker 1: because they don't do ship for us. All they do
Speaker 1: is funk over every other country, drive on through, give
Speaker 1: cash toever leader they need. But god forbid they show
Speaker 1: up and influence our election in the correct direction. Actually,
Speaker 1: know what, Daniel, cut this all out. I I don't
Speaker 1: need this heat, you know what? Actually keep it in,
Speaker 1: keep it in, Daniell. Not today, CIA, not today, baby,
Speaker 1: you're the CIA. Yes, they're nasty, broke, they're petty too.
Speaker 1: That time I talked about Kermit Roosevelt once and they
Speaker 1: were They're like, r I P your mentions, fam, And
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa officials, Wow, okay, that's big CIA energy.
Speaker 1: The problem with the CIA is that they've and this
Speaker 1: is the one problem, my only issue with this C.
Speaker 1: I know they they drastically prefer a dictator, like that's
Speaker 1: who they're always intervening on. Behalf of is fascists and
Speaker 1: dictators over people because always well it's always a binary.
Speaker 1: It's always a binary between a leader who's gonna be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me do us right by people, and then another
Speaker 1: one's be like, let me do us right by rich
Speaker 1: you know, corporations that you can buy me off, and
Speaker 1: I'll sell my own fucking people out, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, the same thing that was happening in Bolivia
Speaker 1: with Evil Morales. And then you know that he can
Speaker 1: now look who's back in power, right back where they started.
Speaker 1: So it's it's all a bit of a waste of energy.
Speaker 1: But yes, the CIA is involved in our local politics
Speaker 1: because who do you, how do you who do you
Speaker 1: think is responsible for Anthony Davis's growth spur between junior
Speaker 1: and senior year of high school? Exactly? Glad somebody finally
Speaker 1: said it, but again not necessary. Do you think he
Speaker 1: could have been? I mean, I just think why are
Speaker 1: they putting so much energy and ship that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's like or or I don't know. Maybe there's a
Speaker 1: man in charge who's trying to fuck this country that
Speaker 1: you're supposed to defend. I don't know what we're doing here.
Speaker 1: Well let's see. Let's see how they deepstate this ship
Speaker 1: before it's still Yeah. Well, I think the first part
Speaker 1: is assuming that it was ever even started for you know,
Speaker 1: positive ends. Well, that's what I'm saying. Then you'd be
Speaker 1: like what the heck versus like, no, man, that ship
Speaker 1: is there to basically, you know, keep a certain kind
Speaker 1: of people in power. I'm just saying, read the room,
Speaker 1: c I A. It's time to step up and do
Speaker 1: the right thing. Because right now, then use magician magic
Speaker 1: to poison everybody's drink so that I'll tell you guys
Speaker 1: off air what I'm really thinking, because I don't need again,
Speaker 1: not today's ci ate and not today I say that
Speaker 1: a lot. Did you just do a Bobby Digital? What is?
Speaker 1: What's something you think is overrated? I'll tell you what's overrated?
Speaker 1: Actually getting the PS five because I got the controller right, baby,
Speaker 1: I use this to just like play around with a
Speaker 1: look at stuff. Who needs the actual thing? Overrated? Don't
Speaker 1: need it? Wait? You actually use it to like brows
Speaker 1: to browse the internet. Okay, I saw his ig stories
Speaker 1: he made he made a candlelit dinner for that controller
Speaker 1: last night. Wait, so how do you get Yes five
Speaker 1: or whatever? You have to just be lucky enough to
Speaker 1: get that ship on pre order, otherwise you give me waiting.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting. I've never bought a console at launch in
Speaker 1: my life. And then you just wait for the bugs
Speaker 1: to you know, get worked out, and now when does
Speaker 1: it come out? November twelve? Um, so twelve. But once
Speaker 1: it's out, can you just buy it? Like or is
Speaker 1: it still bad? We'll see it. I mean, we'll see
Speaker 1: it'll it'll essentially, I'm sure it. We'll sell out day
Speaker 1: one and then the next order will come to some
Speaker 1: that's something. Yeah, it always follows the same trajectory, and
Speaker 1: then people buy out all the in store ones. Then
Speaker 1: it becomes listed for forty dollars on eBay in the
Speaker 1: holiday season for people who like, I just how do
Speaker 1: I my kid really wants it's it's really three thousand.
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, ass whole it's three thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: I'm coughing up and then they buy it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the whole basis for the was it the
Speaker 1: that Arnold Schwartzenegger movie jingle all the way? I forgot
Speaker 1: about jingle all the way for the Turbleman dollaystation time.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you when we're dropping things how this is
Speaker 1: going to go for the next couple of days. But
Speaker 1: one promise we can make to you right here, right now,
Speaker 1: you do not have to get election news anywhere else.
Speaker 1: Just use daily site only source of election information. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: like profile of the guy who like chose not to
Speaker 1: find out who won the election just like lived off
Speaker 1: in the woods somewhere or something that sounds like a
Speaker 1: semicharmed kind of life. Yeah, fully fully charmed kind of life.
Speaker 1: How did he do? He just said he just went
Speaker 1: off the grid. That was his way of Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's what happened. It's there's been so much news
Speaker 1: that seems like eons ago. But um, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that happened. Or maybe didn't find out who won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm trying to you know, one of those Um,
Speaker 1: maybe because the new Taylor Swift album. He didn't want
Speaker 1: to get spoiled the new Taylor Swift album. It's one
Speaker 1: of these things. Yeah, one of those two. He still
Speaker 1: doesn't know how good folklore was. Um, alright, So the
Speaker 1: schedule for the rest of the day, Open Mic Eagle
Speaker 1: is going to be dropping by. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: to him. Uh, will probably have an episode that's updating
Speaker 1: after the polls close. Um, just telling y'all what's happening.
Speaker 1: That will either drop tonight or it'll drop tomorrow morning early,
Speaker 1: depending on how much news there is, so you can
Speaker 1: stay tuned to your feed. We'll we'll be dropping throughout
Speaker 1: probably we'll be panicking on microphone throughout the evening and
Speaker 1: why not join us the familiar shaky voices in your
Speaker 1: life that enter your brain is like, I think the
Speaker 1: one thing just remember everybody as we go through this
Speaker 1: election day is keep the momentum for your negative energy low.
Speaker 1: Don't let that build already because like, let's be real,
Speaker 1: we're not going to know but for most for most
Speaker 1: likely will we will not have any kind of resolution
Speaker 1: to this tonight. Just don't know. The MOTHA just don't
Speaker 1: know what was that for? Was that the report report?
Speaker 1: Don't We just don't know what it could say, We
Speaker 1: just don't. So why should we hold back and cut
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're already we've gone from that point
Speaker 1: and now like I don't know, this guy might just
Speaker 1: sucking curb stomp democracy and from far eyes the end
Speaker 1: of democracy. Let's talk about that. So there's the possibility
Speaker 1: of the red mirage the people have been talking about, um,
Speaker 1: which is this idea that there will be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Democrats voted early in a lot of places, but their
Speaker 1: votes are going to take a while to tabulate, but
Speaker 1: the people who are voting in person are more likely
Speaker 1: to be more Republican. So like in a state like
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania where they're counting those votes first, it's gonna seem
Speaker 1: like Trump one big on tonight on election night slash tonight.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, try not to hyperventially. Yeah, So that's just
Speaker 1: one thing. I mean, that is something people are warning about.
Speaker 1: It's also something that happened during the mid terms like that.
Speaker 1: I remember, like we came on even the next morning,
Speaker 1: we were like, yeah, apparently like it wasn't the blue
Speaker 1: wave everybody thought it was gonna be. It was like
Speaker 1: just a kind of moderate victory from for Democrats, but
Speaker 1: then like, as the votes kept coming in and recounts happened,
Speaker 1: then it ended up being a blue wave over the
Speaker 1: course of a week or um. But so on the
Speaker 1: Sunday shows over the weekend, Trump's campaign manager basically said,
Speaker 1: uh that if Trump has an early lead in a
Speaker 1: state and then as the votes are counted, it starts
Speaker 1: to go away. He defined that as the Biden administration
Speaker 1: trying to Biden trying to steal the election. Uh that
Speaker 1: he defined counting the votes as stealing the election. So
Speaker 1: we already know what their plan is. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: basically trying to freeze the election at any point, freeze
Speaker 1: the counting of votes at any point where they have
Speaker 1: a lead. Trump said the High Courts pre election refusal
Speaker 1: to rule out the extension of like counting votes three
Speaker 1: days after the election day was a terrible decision. And
Speaker 1: he also said that once the polls closed Tuesday, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go in with our lawyers. And that's what a cool.
Speaker 1: Not even sports fans want to want their team to
Speaker 1: win like that, You know what I mean? If you
Speaker 1: offered like your team in a game seven that you're like, like,
Speaker 1: if you could just call the game at that moment,
Speaker 1: would you Some might, But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's like, not even there, there's nothing is done like that,
Speaker 1: there's nothing. There's no reasonable way of measuring anything when
Speaker 1: you just stop the measurement at a point where you
Speaker 1: like or don't like. But yeah, that those are the
Speaker 1: things that are kind of going on, and it's uh again,
Speaker 1: we just don't know where this day is going to go.
Speaker 1: It's so exciting. One can't I imagine what it's doing
Speaker 1: to your nerves. Yeah, literally, fifty five percent of the
Speaker 1: country say this is going to be the most stressful
Speaker 1: day of their lives. That's that's where we at. If
Speaker 1: we can get Biden elected, we should every person after
Speaker 1: this day who tried to suppress votes, we take them all, Um,
Speaker 1: we put them in a space shift and we shoot
Speaker 1: them into space with no end insight because voters suppression,
Speaker 1: because he's illegal, and uh, you shouldn't do it. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand why it's so fucking easy to suppress votes.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense, Like even the law is like, well,
Speaker 1: you do have a point, maybe we shouldn't let people vote.
Speaker 1: Nothing makes any sense. I don't get it. Isn't it illegal?
Speaker 1: The entire country was built on this like that. The
Speaker 1: entire political system has been built to suppress votes for
Speaker 1: many years. Right, we should again and put all those people,
Speaker 1: every any person who's ever been like they should be
Speaker 1: allowed to vote. Ship yeah, and send it out ships yes,
Speaker 1: and get them out of here speckled by like good behavior.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, throwing all of you as history
Speaker 1: on a spaceship and sending out into space. Positive. Let's
Speaker 1: just do it. I'm at it. Get them out of here. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that also worries me is the
Speaker 1: people that are going to try and like skirt their
Speaker 1: way out of saying they had any hand in any
Speaker 1: of the enabling that was going on, Like you, we
Speaker 1: have to remember these people for what they are. That's
Speaker 1: so one person has one of those you know, those
Speaker 1: machines that just prints receipts, and she's like, we have
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop, and we just keep printing it out.
Speaker 1: We call it out like George C. Myers, you're on
Speaker 1: the spaceship, and then we just keep going and keep going,
Speaker 1: and all the receipts. Could you imagine you could wear
Speaker 1: them like cvs for days because we have it all, baby,
Speaker 1: and you're all going to space. And that's that's where
Speaker 1: I find myself care. Yesterday, the President had a rally
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania where they were chanting Lebron James sucks. So's
Speaker 1: that's where they're at. Um, Hey, red mirage, how about
Speaker 1: a head massage that was around from Mr Miles Gray
Speaker 1: that I have to I have to give the king
Speaker 1: his props um. So let's talk about self massaging technology,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I feel like I do feel
Speaker 1: like first of all, like those head scratchers on a
Speaker 1: you sent to the group thread, like one of those
Speaker 1: head massages, like the wiry one. Yeah, the wiry one
Speaker 1: that just like gets the whole scalp and it's just
Speaker 1: so great, And I feel like you they're just like
Speaker 1: thrown in there with like backscratchers and tonail clippers and
Speaker 1: silly things that but man, those things are amazing. What
Speaker 1: you meet My teeth get out of here. You are
Speaker 1: flexible enough to do reality. I'm just gonna save a
Speaker 1: couple of bucks right now. He's doing it. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's not anyway. So we do need tap boundaries. On
Speaker 1: this podcast. We interact way too much. I do not
Speaker 1: need to see that. Hey, that's how I get my
Speaker 1: nervous energy. I bite off my toenails. Some people bite
Speaker 1: their nails. Oh sorry, I bite a different nail on
Speaker 1: my body. Oh, Like, toenails are the worse than you're. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm tired of, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's toenails slanders Like it's somehow more gross because they
Speaker 1: stink and you have full fungus and stuff like, and
Speaker 1: you're on your feet all day like that. You don't
Speaker 1: want to put that in your mouth. You are ye
Speaker 1: self massaging? I means, yeah, so I was. I did
Speaker 1: not grow up in a self massaging household. But my
Speaker 1: wife has all sorts of like her mom brought this
Speaker 1: like little pod that has two footholes in it, and
Speaker 1: that thing just goes to work on your feet and
Speaker 1: and in a way that is on the verge of like,
Speaker 1: is this gonna crush my feet up like a turn
Speaker 1: it into a bunch of aquarium rocks? Um, But they
Speaker 1: come out in holy intact and feeling great. In my experience,
Speaker 1: this is like the entire reason that I went to
Speaker 1: like Brookstone or the Sharper Image in the mall. Anytime
Speaker 1: I went to the mall with my parents. It was
Speaker 1: to go sit in one of those chairs that had
Speaker 1: the arm and the back and then if it had
Speaker 1: the calves and like the Shin's Part two rush. That's
Speaker 1: how you know when you get older, when you actually
Speaker 1: you think about getting one of those seriously, you know,
Speaker 1: like when you're like, it goes to me, like, dude,
Speaker 1: where the funk am I gonna put that on us?
Speaker 1: For some old person? And one of my family friends
Speaker 1: has when I remember like where we would have like
Speaker 1: Thanksgivings or Christmas dinners, and I would be the first
Speaker 1: one running to that massage share after like eating, because
Speaker 1: it would just take you to a place of like food, digestion, dreams.
Speaker 1: And you're like, so self massaging uh not, for the record,
Speaker 1: not what Jeffrey Tuban is doing, but true, so self
Speaker 1: massaging technology is not what Jeffy Tubin was doing. He
Speaker 1: was self massaging on technology. But uh yeah. I also
Speaker 1: feel like there's like a masturbratory like uh component like
Speaker 1: where people are like there's something shameful about like the
Speaker 1: self massaging stuff like those uh have you seen those things?
Speaker 1: Like there there were pictures in the Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: postseason where they had like the massage guns. They're just
Speaker 1: like putting up and down there like there a gun. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Culturally though, right, like in the East, you know, taking
Speaker 1: care of your body like very specifically through like acupuncture, reflexology, meditation,
Speaker 1: fucking head scratch or little footboards you can just walk
Speaker 1: onto like relax your feet, like that's embraced in those cultures.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, like for America just like, no, man,
Speaker 1: what the fund are you talking about take care of
Speaker 1: your body? No, it's a fucking machine that's supposed to
Speaker 1: do infinite work for this other guy. What are you complaining?
Speaker 1: Like it's almost weird how we're only now having these
Speaker 1: devices in the context of like it's just a grow
Speaker 1: weightlifting that it's like, oh you do CrossFit then yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you have a reason to take care of
Speaker 1: your body in a nice way. Your meat sack bro
Speaker 1: where it's like now we're like, dude, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I walk all day. Yeah, maybe I do need that, Like,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I only found out about it
Speaker 1: because spending time in a Korean household and they just
Speaker 1: have all the ships. Yeah, that's an easy gift. I
Speaker 1: would always get. When I'm in Japan, I'll go to
Speaker 1: Tokyo Hands and there's like just like self care section
Speaker 1: where like I'm quite literally I will buy this thing
Speaker 1: for people that it's like a board with a bunch
Speaker 1: of little pegs coming out the bottom in the shape
Speaker 1: of a foot and you just put your weight on
Speaker 1: each foot on there and that's it just starts working
Speaker 1: the like stimulating your feet. And I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: so sick. That sounds amazing. Man. Well, when these borders
Speaker 1: open back up to the disgusting American gross people, then
Speaker 1: I'll maybe be able to travel abroad again, right there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to what happened over the
Speaker 1: past couple of days in the election. The Trump administration
Speaker 1: is fortifying their castle walls. UM not metaphorically, they're like
Speaker 1: literally just like building walls around the White House um.
Speaker 1: CNN confirmed over the weekend. Again it's similar to the
Speaker 1: fence that have been erected during the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: protests over the summer. But they're they're doing it again
Speaker 1: to uh prepare for the election and protect uh podus
Speaker 1: the event that he tries to rap the election with
Speaker 1: the event you mean that he it's like he knows.
Speaker 1: He's like, look, so the deal is, I'm going to
Speaker 1: wrap the election. We need this fucking wall around the
Speaker 1: White House or else. You know, they're gonna be They're
Speaker 1: gonna know what they're gonna I'm gonna cheat it, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna come after me because I mean, like, it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting even like in this the piece of the
Speaker 1: article that you you clipped out for this about saying
Speaker 1: like the new fence comes as Trump plots to fight
Speaker 1: the results of the election, as poll show him trailing
Speaker 1: badly across the nation and in key swing states, meeting
Speaker 1: on paper, he will get fucking destroyed. But all bets
Speaker 1: are off because we don't have the fucking institutions that
Speaker 1: will actually keep this thing moving in the right direction.
Speaker 1: It's just all up to the first asshole who decided
Speaker 1: to just throw all the toys out. We have norms,
Speaker 1: miles norms that say we don't throw out the toys.
Speaker 1: Most of you guys in the norms, they all right,
Speaker 1: Like the thing that the poll watchers, the poll people,
Speaker 1: uh Nate Silvers, the Nates Silver of the world are
Speaker 1: all saying is that it's a probability. It's not it's
Speaker 1: not a chance. It's not saying like Biden's gonna win
Speaker 1: by ent when it says, it's saying that one out
Speaker 1: of every ten times Trump wins. Um. And I was
Speaker 1: reading the story, uh that somebody wrote as like a
Speaker 1: Halloween treat Um, here here's something that scare the ship
Speaker 1: out of you, and it was just like a point
Speaker 1: by point of the Dewey Truman election. I think we've
Speaker 1: all seen the Dewey defeats Truman picture where it's Truman
Speaker 1: holding it up after winning on election night, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was an upset that nobody saw coming.
Speaker 1: Truman was the incumbent. I hadn't realized that. So he
Speaker 1: was already the incumbent with very low approval rating, and
Speaker 1: everybody was like, oh d he's gonna crush this dude.
Speaker 1: Right up to the election, they were like, it's he
Speaker 1: was endorsed by every newspaper, every like Pole expert was like,
Speaker 1: it's like literally forty out of forty where like, do
Speaker 1: he's gonna win based on what the polls were telling us?
Speaker 1: And then Truman's whole thing was, and this is where
Speaker 1: it really bummed me out. His whole thing was like
Speaker 1: going on the ground and having like massive rallies. Uh
Speaker 1: and you know, getting the support of the common man
Speaker 1: being a populist uh and going direct to the people.
Speaker 1: And one thing I hadn't realized is like it wasn't close.
Speaker 1: I thought it was like so one state got tipped
Speaker 1: at midnight and like they it changed from Dewey to Truman,
Speaker 1: Like Truman beat the ship out, I mean beat the
Speaker 1: brakes off of them. It was like a three hundred
Speaker 1: something electoral votes to one something. Um. So you wouldn't
Speaker 1: need that big of a swing even uh for Trump
Speaker 1: to win. You would basically need a four point pulling error.
Speaker 1: That's why uh Nate Silver has it at a ten
Speaker 1: percent chance because bigger pulling errors have happened. Pulling is limited,
Speaker 1: so like it can happen, it's not that unlikely. Um.
Speaker 1: And yeah, we we have to get our mind around that.
Speaker 1: I guess is scary as but how much how much
Speaker 1: of it is that you can't bear to feel good
Speaker 1: in the event that anything were to go in Trump's direction,
Speaker 1: and you just want to basically be prepared for that
Speaker 1: more so than you feel very much in your heart
Speaker 1: that that is what is going to happen because there's
Speaker 1: I modulate, evascinate. But why am I telling the story
Speaker 1: to myself? This is the thing man, Like I've done
Speaker 1: this to childhood. Man, if you have no expectations, you
Speaker 1: will never be let down to the point where it
Speaker 1: will toxify your your soul. If you have no good expectations.
Speaker 1: Thank you Dr James for that. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think there's also this other part of like, ah,
Speaker 1: then it's like feeling like I don't know. I'm also
Speaker 1: kind of don't believe in a lot of my fellow
Speaker 1: Americans too, to like do what's right. It's like partially
Speaker 1: it's that, then other times I do believe because I
Speaker 1: do see the good in it. And it's like a
Speaker 1: very weird thing of either trying to just protect myself
Speaker 1: from an eventuality or just protect myself from a possibility
Speaker 1: that might not be as likely mathematically, but I just
Speaker 1: can't for a second offer myself that comfort in the
Speaker 1: event anything where to go wrong. It's a very delicate
Speaker 1: odd place. Yeah. No, it's definitely like tied up with
Speaker 1: my childhood and like all the psychology around, like you know,
Speaker 1: a team I liked was losing, or you know, my
Speaker 1: dad a team my dad coach for was losing and
Speaker 1: like preparing for the worst and like magical thinking around
Speaker 1: that for sure, Like I am not a uh a
Speaker 1: model of psychological well being when it comes to the
Speaker 1: outcome of high steaks thing. I've got all sorts of
Speaker 1: weird scar tissue built up around that. Um. But this,
Speaker 1: for some reason just felt like, Okay, that's that's the scenario.
Speaker 1: That's the one. Like for some reason, like hearing the
Speaker 1: specifics of like how that shook out was like okay,
Speaker 1: and people got through that obviously, like Truman was not
Speaker 1: Trump obviously, and uh, this is way worse. But um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like seeing the mechanics of how that
Speaker 1: they got that wrong, I made me feel slightly less
Speaker 1: like I don't know out like without any bearing, um unmoored,
Speaker 1: I guess it's like, okay that that would be the
Speaker 1: one intent. Um, I'm not gonna lie. I've been feeling
Speaker 1: a little you know, working on this show and not
Speaker 1: being an active voice per se and just merely taking
Speaker 1: in all of the information constantly. I felt a little
Speaker 1: bit like this is a Marvel reference for for the uninitiated,
Speaker 1: but the a little bit like doctor Strange when he
Speaker 1: is going through all the possibilities of what is going
Speaker 1: to happen. I've just been taking it in over and over,
Speaker 1: every possibility that we've talked about on the show, and
Speaker 1: it's just been like stealing myself in six different like
Speaker 1: nicely packed emotional bags of Yeah, which one's gonna which
Speaker 1: one is getting open. It's either this is gonna happen,
Speaker 1: and we opened this bag, this is gonna happen, and
Speaker 1: we opened this bag. And I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: healthier whatnot. But at this point it's like, let's go.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I think about it like it.
Speaker 1: You know, at some point it slips out of our
Speaker 1: you know, like we do all we can um, and
Speaker 1: you know most of us have. I mean, yes, I
Speaker 1: live in like my own bubble in a sense, but
Speaker 1: like it feels like there's this consensus that makes me
Speaker 1: feel good that we are fighting for this country. But
Speaker 1: you know, at some point, if everything goes wrong, I
Speaker 1: believe UM. And a lot of this is my own mom,
Speaker 1: who is a very religious woman who will be like
Speaker 1: God has a plan for you, which always makes the
Speaker 1: hair stand up on the back of my neck. But
Speaker 1: there's like a truth to that in the sense like
Speaker 1: I know will persevere because we're not just gonna like
Speaker 1: sit down and take it, you know. And and I
Speaker 1: I I always think like, you know, and I've had
Speaker 1: a bit of a calm these last few weeks of
Speaker 1: like what happened, what happens will happen, and we will
Speaker 1: take it one step at a time, and we will
Speaker 1: fight for what we believe. And I always think, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like we've gotten this far, like as a
Speaker 1: human race, we've got this far. It hasn't been great,
Speaker 1: but like we are very quick to let the world
Speaker 1: know that we're not the one. So I think if
Speaker 1: it all goes to hell, we will fight. And I
Speaker 1: think like that makes me feel but that kind of
Speaker 1: gives me a sense of calm that like guys like yeah,
Speaker 1: like yeah, like we haven't look how mad we are now.
Speaker 1: It's not like at one point the world just goes
Speaker 1: black and we're like, well we tram number six. So
Speaker 1: I I, you know, I know that we can we
Speaker 1: can persevere, if that makes sense, Like I know, it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: it will be hard, it will be dark, but then
Speaker 1: like look at all these fucking countries in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: Like my parents left Iran after just hell broke loose,
Speaker 1: and like now they're like like my dad's chilling in
Speaker 1: his Polos in America, like, oh just wait, it will
Speaker 1: get worse, and you're like, oh, well, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: and looking at him, he's just like literally drinking tea
Speaker 1: on his iPad like good luck everybody, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, he lived through he lived through hell, and
Speaker 1: he's sitting here on his recliner being like you'll get
Speaker 1: through it. It will be hell, but you'll get through it.
Speaker 1: But it'll just make you stronger in the end, and
Speaker 1: you will like you don't have more well not even
Speaker 1: necessarily that, but like people stay back in Iran and
Speaker 1: exist in Iran and they fucking fight every single day
Speaker 1: tooth and nail, you know, and it might not necessarily
Speaker 1: I mean, like Iran is a bad example because it's
Speaker 1: a republic and who knows, like we don't know where
Speaker 1: this is gonna go, but like there are still people fighting,
Speaker 1: and so it's like it will be tough, it will
Speaker 1: make us stronger, but like we will get through it.
Speaker 1: You know, we will lose some fucking climate along the way.
Speaker 1: On the unfortunate but like we will make yeah, like
Speaker 1: we will make it work because we are a human
Speaker 1: race and we are we are stronger than we give
Speaker 1: ourselves credit for. And I think where we are at
Speaker 1: now and how we act now is a very big
Speaker 1: example of perseverance and how we again are not the
Speaker 1: one And I think that's that's what gives me hope.
Speaker 1: And then my other hope is or is that like,
Speaker 1: you know what fun it, Let's just go to bed.
Speaker 1: Let's just go to bed morning. Okay, No, no, no
Speaker 1: time for this. The other hope. You know, there's there's
Speaker 1: zanex and you just take that and you're like tomorrow
Speaker 1: you're eating a bunch of fast food and taking a
Speaker 1: hot bath and then you will fall asleep. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. We'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about our individual coping plans. And we're back, and
Speaker 1: I mean we can talk about how the election results
Speaker 1: are going to be coming in, like how how weird
Speaker 1: that's gonna be because we for the first time we
Speaker 1: have the active like networks need to resist the thing
Speaker 1: that networks built, which is the whole uh you know,
Speaker 1: horse racification of of the polls and of election night
Speaker 1: and that's actually been going on, like since the beginning.
Speaker 1: They used to project on the walls of buildings, like
Speaker 1: as state results came in. So they've been doing ship
Speaker 1: like this gibbicky stuff, horse race stuff since back in
Speaker 1: the Yeah, they used to call it. They called projectors
Speaker 1: magic lanterns. Uh. But and even back like one of
Speaker 1: my favorite effects about US history is like when George
Speaker 1: Washington was running for pres isn't it like the way
Speaker 1: he won or like one of the big contributing factors
Speaker 1: was like he bought booze for people and like had
Speaker 1: these like huge rawdy like voting parties slash election victory parties.
Speaker 1: So it's not like as sacred as we want to
Speaker 1: keep things that could vote. Yeah, that's right, tight, yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, get you, get your family over, I'll wrap
Speaker 1: I'll wrap the election up if I can just get
Speaker 1: you and like those three neighborhoods over there. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: the point being that, like the networks have to be
Speaker 1: careful about calling states too early or even like how
Speaker 1: they're presenting Like, Okay, so this number of polls have closed,
Speaker 1: this is how many votes have been tabulated, Like Trump
Speaker 1: is ahead because Trump thinking like claiming that he's ahead
Speaker 1: as opposed to more Trump votes have been counted than
Speaker 1: Biden votes, like will lead to thinking like, well, they
Speaker 1: stole the election, like Trump is trying to, you know say,
Speaker 1: is like it is sort of his m o heading
Speaker 1: into the election that like, if he's winning in the
Speaker 1: vote he and somebody overtakes him, then it's they stole vote.
Speaker 1: The mantras just count every fucking vote and then figure
Speaker 1: it out that's count every vote. One thing that I
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter that I don't think is going to happen,
Speaker 1: but would be a model that I would love to
Speaker 1: see some of the networks pick up is you know,
Speaker 1: when they're showing polling data from places, and no matter
Speaker 1: how many counties have you know, reported in, they'll show
Speaker 1: an entire bar graph for an entire circle graph that
Speaker 1: is completely full, where it's like this, regardless of how
Speaker 1: many counties have come in with exactly what I love
Speaker 1: because it's it's stuff like that that creates memes and
Speaker 1: just generates content that people want to share immediately and
Speaker 1: stress people out and say like up, well this county
Speaker 1: is completely read, so fuck it. I would love to
Speaker 1: see that model where it's the entire circle, where the
Speaker 1: entire circle represents the entire state, and all that's filled
Speaker 1: in is the precincts that have actually followed this math
Speaker 1: ship you're in here now. I'm just saying I would
Speaker 1: love to see that kind of image instead of just
Speaker 1: being like, all right, well so far reporting of half
Speaker 1: of this one county is for Trump, and so our
Speaker 1: bar graph is a solid red chunk. It's like, that's
Speaker 1: not going to help anybody in this time. So that's
Speaker 1: something I would like to see networks pick up, even
Speaker 1: though I know that they won't. Alright, let's get into
Speaker 1: our self care. What how are how are you guys
Speaker 1: spending spending today? What are you starting starting the day?
Speaker 1: The biggest thing I just want to say is like
Speaker 1: this ship is if it's causing you mass stressed, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times we get stressed and
Speaker 1: we add more stress to our lives and be like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be stressed. Why must stressed? I
Speaker 1: hate being stressed. I'm stressed, And then you argue about
Speaker 1: being stressed. A we all have to accept that this
Speaker 1: is verifiably, on paper, very stressful time. So there's no
Speaker 1: need to be at odds with your stress. I think
Speaker 1: it's now more about managing it right, because we always,
Speaker 1: no matter what, if feeling is of uncertainty or something
Speaker 1: that puts us off balance, our immediate reaction is I
Speaker 1: don't want that, get out of here. And that's that's
Speaker 1: only adding so exactly. And I'm just trying to do
Speaker 1: all kinds of things, like start off the day with
Speaker 1: an act of kindness, you know, just just just put
Speaker 1: some good just do that, be like okay, just to
Speaker 1: remind yourself, because I think the real thing that is
Speaker 1: that I'm worried about happening to me throughout the day
Speaker 1: is losing sight of the present moment and my and
Speaker 1: my sense of self and my own well being within
Speaker 1: my body, because it is very easy to leave your
Speaker 1: mind and then begin to get and succumb to our
Speaker 1: being overwhelmed by all the details of the world that
Speaker 1: you are being brought to your attention and taking that
Speaker 1: as one piece and be like, oh my god, how
Speaker 1: the funk will no no, no, Look, because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we're all gonna have. Nothing's gonna
Speaker 1: be one or lost by one person. It's all gonna
Speaker 1: be how we do things as a collective, so don't
Speaker 1: like those those moments will come, so throughout today, just
Speaker 1: be easy. I'm trying to single task things. I think
Speaker 1: I read recently was to not have multiple browser tabs
Speaker 1: open and really giving your intention to one thing at
Speaker 1: a time. So if I'm trying to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's happening, you know, what's going on on this news website,
Speaker 1: just go to that one tab, read it, and when
Speaker 1: I'm done, go to another thing. So I don't start
Speaker 1: just you know, splitting my energy across five million different things.
Speaker 1: So single tasking things. I'm also going to tidy up
Speaker 1: around the house because I find myself being able to
Speaker 1: be very present when I'm doing tasks where I'm using
Speaker 1: my hands, whether that's cooking, washing dishes, fucking watering plants, uh,
Speaker 1: planting shit whatever, doing that because I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, realize, yeah, I've voted, the elections happening,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not really sure that what I'll what I'll
Speaker 1: know by the end of the end of tonight. So
Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to put myself there and just
Speaker 1: keep myself like looking at things, being present and being
Speaker 1: you know, as much as possible in the moment, because
Speaker 1: of course most of us have been living the last
Speaker 1: three months living in the fucking future, like we're all
Speaker 1: time traveling with our stress. We're not living right now.
Speaker 1: We're living in a year from now, three weeks from now,
Speaker 1: three days from now, and filling in the blanks with
Speaker 1: all these awful things that we feel are happening or
Speaker 1: can happen, which could, it's possible. But the but the
Speaker 1: negative effect of that is we've completely removed ourselves from
Speaker 1: like the present moment, where you like, that's what's the
Speaker 1: most real ship. The past has already happened. The future
Speaker 1: is does not exist. So trying to route myself there
Speaker 1: to give myself a little bit of you know, solid
Speaker 1: ground to beyond has just been like my whole thing.
Speaker 1: And eat a good lunch. I will eat a good
Speaker 1: lunch to day. That good just like good whatever it
Speaker 1: is like like comfort food, whatever it is like whatever
Speaker 1: you define that to be. Like for you to feel
Speaker 1: like I had a good lunch, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Do that because I know I don't know if I'll
Speaker 1: be able to eat at night, right, Yeah, that's the thing,
Speaker 1: Like if I'm either going to like order five Domino's
Speaker 1: Pizzas on election night or not be able to eat. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it could be one or the other. Even no
Speaker 1: matter who wins, it could be one or the other. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to take regular breaks from the news.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend the whole day in a
Speaker 1: slip stream of just fucking Twitter updates. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: like hourly updates. It's a good idea, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to do those because for you guys, for the listeners. Um.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm going to like I used to when
Speaker 1: one of my dad teams was playing, I wouldn't always
Speaker 1: watch it live, just as a little mental health gift
Speaker 1: for myself, like so that I'm not just spending uh
Speaker 1: just negative spiralaling every thirty seconds. Well like, well the
Speaker 1: game's going on, um. And so I'm gonna try and
Speaker 1: do a similar thing. Spend time, put my kids to bed,
Speaker 1: focus on them, uh, and then get back and just
Speaker 1: let it hit me all at once, then hop on
Speaker 1: Twitter and melt my eyes. I remember last in the election,
Speaker 1: I was at a thing where I was like meditating
Speaker 1: and I like had a premonition that like it was
Speaker 1: like right as the polls were closing and like the
Speaker 1: results were gonna start coming in, and I had like
Speaker 1: a premonition. I was like, oh shit, it's really going
Speaker 1: to be Trump, like before the news had picked up
Speaker 1: on it. So I'm gonna avoid meditating saying now, Jack,
Speaker 1: that's right. Um, And when when things are too much,
Speaker 1: I'm going to turn on Avatar Last Airbender. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: shows great. I'm gonna watch this. I'm just gonna watch
Speaker 1: all UK comedy from my eyes. People just do nothing
Speaker 1: on fucking Top Boy on Loop on the Top Boys
Speaker 1: kind of grimy, but you know, I still you know,
Speaker 1: it's just about distracting yourself in it by how about
Speaker 1: you on a Dan what you guys got on the docket.
Speaker 1: I don't really imagine myself and doing anything too different
Speaker 1: for my day, Like I'll wake up, I'll do this show,
Speaker 1: I'll respond to my emails, I'll scroll Twitter, I'll compartmentalize
Speaker 1: a lot. I will probably talk to my parents, Um,
Speaker 1: I will I just eat, I have some coffee. UM,
Speaker 1: maybe talk to you guys a little, say stuff like
Speaker 1: it's fine and uh yeah, I mean I don't really
Speaker 1: I don't try and like I don't try and put
Speaker 1: like my my self care is to just try and
Speaker 1: be normal and not like let myself like escalate mentally
Speaker 1: like that. I just try and do what I do,
Speaker 1: keep up with my work. Um you know, uh and
Speaker 1: uh hope for the best and if not, you know
Speaker 1: we um keep doing the work, keep doing the work
Speaker 1: that's necessary to get this country on in the right path.
Speaker 1: If you will. Um, I just you know what. Look
Speaker 1: I mean, Iranian child of immigrants. You guys can't bring
Speaker 1: the mental abuse on me like I've experienced my whole life. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was I was literally truly born for this ship. Okay,
Speaker 1: They're never going to have an Iranian father tell you
Speaker 1: everything that's wrong to you to your face in front
Speaker 1: of your friends. Okay, So like this is the this
Speaker 1: is the ship I was born for. I know how
Speaker 1: to work through this sort of pain. I've got the
Speaker 1: years of therapy that my father still complains about having
Speaker 1: to pay for, even though technically all he had to
Speaker 1: pay for was the co pay. Not that big deal, bro.
Speaker 1: So um it was the co pay, but I needed
Speaker 1: a lot, so you know that copy adds up. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I know how to survive the winter if
Speaker 1: you will, and I will get through it, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I won't let you goddamn mad men bring
Speaker 1: me down while you're looking in the group chat, I'll
Speaker 1: be like, Gift, you're gonna I will call the police,
Speaker 1: and you know you just yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: the real thing is just about Yeah, I wish I
Speaker 1: could manage my stress in a way. We're like just
Speaker 1: sort of going lean into my schedule more helps. But
Speaker 1: from I you know, we all resonated different frequencies and
Speaker 1: I have, unfortunately, I have to do a little more
Speaker 1: work to stay on top because I man, my ship
Speaker 1: can get away from you real quick. Um. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the thing is realizing, you know, everyone's got
Speaker 1: to really like no yourself a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: how to navigate that. What about you, danil Um, I
Speaker 1: will be doing uh a little bit of a little
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of everybody here. Honestly, I'll
Speaker 1: be doing a little bit of anna kind of just
Speaker 1: like like I said, I've packed my mental bags for
Speaker 1: all these different possibilities, so really trying to keep the
Speaker 1: stress down. Um, I'm inspired by you, Miles. Recently, I
Speaker 1: got my bike fixed, so I'm gonna go fixed. I
Speaker 1: get a little fresh air. Um, I will be you know,
Speaker 1: talking to my family and you know, talking through a
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff, because, as I'm sure has happened
Speaker 1: for all of you, you have been kind of like
Speaker 1: a central point of political interest from all of your
Speaker 1: friends and family when it comes to, hey, what's this about?
Speaker 1: What's this about? What's this about? Like you you work
Speaker 1: on a new show, you know you must know all
Speaker 1: about this, So fielding all those texts all day will
Speaker 1: be part of it. And uh, Admittedly, when I went
Speaker 1: to my local cannabis dispensary this weekend, I thought about
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm buying for the election week, so
Speaker 1: I bought a little extra little extra for this self
Speaker 1: care of my way through a bunch of Dutch masters.
