A five, a six, a five, six, seven, eight.
Hi, Sashir.
Hi, Nicole.
How are you?
I'm good.
I thought I had bees.
I thought my bees were back.
I had bees years ago and they got taken away
to a better place, to a spacious place
where they can create honey and hives
in a place that's not inside the walls of my home.
And then I looked out my kitchen window the other day and there was a huge swarm of bees
just sitting there on the wall and I was like no not again it took so much so many people and so
much time and effort and money to get rid of them the first time and then I sent it to the same bee
people and they were like okay I think they're not going inside i think
they're just on the outside hoping to get inside um we'll come get them and then i went out there
to talk to them and i was like hey guys thank you so much for being um calm because the bees i had
before were pretty angry mostly because they're being displaced so i understand um but they like
these bees bees were just in one spot so i was like thank you so much for being calm and patient
someone's gonna come and get you tomorrow and you'll be in a bigger better place where you can
like spread your wings and create all the honey you want and blah blah blah blah blah and truly
an hour later they were gone they like, the big thing told us we
were going on a trip. They're like, we've heard about these. There was like one bee left that was
like, no, no, the big lady comes and then takes your family away. I guess you have to get out of
here before she comes back with the other people. And they did. They got the hell out of there.
I was like, whoa, did they listen to me?
And then the next day I went to the other side of the wall and I saw a hole and I was
like, are the bees crawling in the hole?
Did all the bees crawl in the hole?
Oh, my God.
And then I showed a video to the bee guy and he was like, that is a hole.
They may have gotten in. So they came and then they had these like thermal cameras to like see the activity in the walls and then like try to smoke them out.
And turns out they didn't actually go in the wall.
They did, in fact, leave.
There was a hole, but he just like patched it up.
He's like, yeah, I don't think there's bees inside, which is great.
That is great.
Thank God. inside which is great that is great thank god i talked to the spiders outside my house um because
they get in the way of where i go down the stairs and i was like hey you're gonna get knocked down
either by me or like someone who's gonna come here so if you go away you live and they go away
yeah it's pretty crazy it is I talked to my crows.
I told them
because they were like
in this one particular tree
and there's parrots
that roam around.
The parrots like that tree.
The crows can go anywhere.
All the trees
are for the crows.
But the parrots
only like this one tree.
And the crows
started bullying the parrots
and taking that tree.
Whoa.
And I was like,
guys,
you have so much space. Like, go to the different tree. Let the parrots have that one. And then they let the parrots and taking that tree whoa i was like guys you have so much space like go to the different tree let the parrots have that one and then they let the
parrots have it that's so nice it's pretty nice wait what color are your parrots green
green parrots oh that's fun it's very fun goodness little limes they do look like flying limes yeah oh my goodness what a dream yeah oh i love birds
i know it is crazy the older i get the more i'm like boy i love them same they're just so nice
flying around yeah i think it's like it feels like when people hit their 30s they get really
interested in birds oh my god it's because you get locked into like your life and birds are free.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
You're like, look at that freedom.
Did I talk about when I got my new car because my lease was up and I had to get a new one?
I don't think you did.
Well, the man at the dealership was like, hey, you don't remember me from four years ago and i was like oh i'm so sorry i don't he's like i did your deal then too
and i'll probably be here for another 10 to 15 years and i was like whoa damn grim very grim but
maybe that's why we like birds when you get older because you're like well this is all i do if i could fly away i would fly right away from the jeep dealership
dear god make me a bird's like fly far away from the jeep dealership in glendale
yeah maybe yeah and then we talked about so much at point, we talked about how I like to shoplift.
How'd you get there?
Honestly, I don't know.
But I guess we were talking about how maybe he said something about self-checkout.
And I was like, I do the self-checkout even though I'm not an employee.
But I take my hourly wage with the thing.
And he was like, whoa, that's crazy.
And then I signed everything. And he was like whoa that's crazy and then i signed everything
and he was like all right well enjoy your jeep and i hadn't given him money and i was like hmm
should i steal this jeep should i i will enjoy this jeep thank you bye but i told him and he said
thank you for telling me that you didn't put the money down, even though I know you like stealing. And I was like, that, I was, and he was white.
And it felt like.
Pointed?
It felt like a prejudice.
But I had told him.
Even though I know your type likes stealing.
But this year I had told him I steal.
And I had to like take a moment and be like,
wow, I guess not everything is about rape.
He's like, I just listened to you.
He was like, yeah, I listened to you. You right. He's like, I just listened to you.
Yeah, I listened to you. You're a woman that I listened to. This is what you think you feminists wanted.
Can't have it all.
And my credit score is pretty good. And he was like, whoa, you have a high credit score. I said, oh, well, this is how I did it.
And then he goes, oh, you don't have to do that. You can do this. And I want to be like, well, what's your credit score i said oh well this is how i did it and then he goes oh you don't have to do that you can do this and i wanted to be like well what's your credit score is it higher than this

next 10 to 15 years and you get to take your top off and fly you're the bird i'm a bird

I saw a recent video of her performing and I said,
I can't wait to get a little older.
Get that body-ody-ody.
Yeah.
Nice. It. Nice.
It's nice.
But again, we're not judging people's bodies.
That is not what we do here at Best Friends.
I was not judging.
I was just complimenting.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Mmm, yum.
Mmm, yum.
Okay, well, maybe now it's getting a little inappropriate.

Some thrift store.
Trying to wear my clothes that I have.
I am also trying to wear my clothes.
But also when I got dressed today, I put on an outfit and I went, I better just put on my little uniform.
Oh, sometimes I get overwhelmed.
But yesterday, I put on a,
I think I was wearing my uniform,
and I was like, bitch, put on a jumpsuit.
So I put on a new jumpsuit that I got that was black and has appliques, flower appliques.
I put on my socks, because I'm in a sock phase i'm in my sock era yes
um and i had a nice time oh good yeah yeah it was a it's a little hard because the zipper runs right
up the back of me um but i'm flexible so i can do it by myself but i put a belt on over it so that
was a whole hoot nanny in the bathroom oh Oh, my goodness. Take the belt off, hang the belt, unzip.
Yeah.
But I looked damn good.
I'm sure you did.
Oh, thank you, girl.
I do wonder.
I mean, I guess maybe I look silly.
But I wonder why clothes don't utilize, like, a butt flap.
Or a crotch zipper.
Fashion Brand Company, I believe, had some jeans with a crotch zipper
um so you know they're out there yeah um but yeah a butt flap would be pretty easy yeah you know a
jumpsuit little butt flap dump one out but i'd be scared that like the fabric would get to the
get butt stuff on it shit i don't know why is there stuff other than poop butt stuff on it. Shit. I don't know why.
Is there stuff other than poop?
Butt stuff.
All the butt stuff that could possibly be there.
I don't want my jumpsuit to get rimmed.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like there's ways you can make it look cute, though.
Little butt moves or, I don't know.
And maybe that's like too toddler coded.
Probably.
Yeah.
You know.
For sure.
Yeah.
How do you go to the bathroom in a bathing suit?
Do you take your bathing suit all the way off?
I used to like an idiot.
Yeah.
Just wet around my legs.
Because it's hard to.
Yeah.
Get right back up.
Yeah.
Now I just move it to the side and I go wee, wee, wee all the way home.
Yeah, same.
Yeah, just push to the side.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And it works.
It does.
Have you ever shit in a bathing suit?
I don't think I have.
I have.
Tough.
Yeah.
Tougher.
Is that also a push to the side?
Yeah.
Oh.
And you got to like really get it over and move it it like and you use the lip to hold it over there like put it over the cheek yeah and
then you have to like yeah it's tough i also feel like it'd be painful yeah like yes it is yeah it
hurts i feel like that for that maybe i would take the whole thing off no no there's no time
no time when you gotta go you gotta go
gotta go right now and then get right back in that pool
now that i'd be worried butt stuff would get on
yeah but like you're real i'm really moving it i'm uncomfortable to avoid butt stuff. Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, great.
That's a funny sentence.
I'm uncomfortable to avoid butt stuff.
Please come at me with your butt stuff.
Just kidding. Oh, man. Tis the season i'd be swimming yeah i love swimming it's nice oh god yeah you know good

yeah it's been really nice
oh my god
it's cool weather for sure it really is yeah it's been really nice oh my god cool weather for sure
it really is yeah oh i'm having a good time i'm sure you are you know what i did when i was little
what befriend people with pools one of my best friends had an above ground pool yeah and to this
day she was a horse girl and i pretended to be a horse girl because I was like, gotta get in that pool.
Gotta get in that above ground pool.
What did you do to pretend to be a horse girl?
Okay, talk to me about horses.
I saw this competition with a bunch of horses recently.
Yes!
Oh my God.
I've been meaning to start watching competitions with horses.
Oh, yeah.
Because I love a horse. Yeah, that's. Oh, yeah. Because I love a horse.
Yeah, that's the thing about you.
You do love a horse.
Yeah, Shetland ponies, small horses.
Oh, yeah.
And then the Clydesdales.
I know them.
Yeah.
And brown ones.
So, like, what are you doing this weekend?
Getting in that pool?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just hard agreeing.
Hard agreeing.
And then there was
this little girl.
She was just short.
I don't know why
I called her a little girl.
And she was a child?
I was a little girl too.
I was a child when
and she had an in-ground pool
and I was like,
whoa,
I think I'm going to upgrade
her friendship.
So you just dump
the horse girl?
No,
I'm not dumping horse girl.
Okay. I still am hanging out with horse girl? No, I'm not dumping horse girl. Oh, okay.
I still am hanging out with horse girl.
Okay.
Because sometimes new friend
would not be available.
And then she went to a different high school
and I was happy I kept horse girl as a friend
because we went to the same high school.
She was like fun to hang out with.
Yeah, okay, good.
But like the pool was a part of it.
It's a big drop.
I sound like an asshole.
No, I think,
I feel like I've talked to other people who are like that too.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
Because you, like, if your friends have cool stuff, you want to take advantage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, if I had a friend who, like, oh my God, I can't even think of another cool thing. I was like, a scuba suit?
And I was like, why?
Why?
What?
And they...
Or if we had a friend who had like a bowling alley in their basement.
Yes.
It'd be like, let's go bowling.
Yeah.
Sashir?
I have not been bowling, I don't think, in LA.
And I have been here for over 10 years.
In the last month, I have been bowling what?
Twice. Twice. She loves to bowl now. I'm a bowler. Wow. think in LA and I have been here for over 10 years in the last month I have been bowling what twice

to have my mom's bowling ball and that was monogrammed it had I believe it had her initials
on it whoa because she was a bowler she was I grew up in a bowling ball and that was monogrammed. It had, I believe it had her initials on it. Whoa.
Cause she was a bowler.
She was a bowler.
I grew up in a bowling alley.
So it's in your blood.
It's in,
bowling's in my blood.
I got big hard balls with three holes in my blood.
I got three holes.
Finger me daddy.
I have three holes,
bowling's in my blood
my mother i mean if she could hear it would be like nicole you have to stop but yeah we would
go i think it was in new brunswick the no new brunswick is like the branding of like the bowling
ball um but on route 35 going into long branch where I grew up, there was a bowling alley.
I wonder if it's still there. But we
would go there. We would get bacon,
egg, and cheeses from Joyce's. And
I loved them. They were so good. And then
we would go to the bowling alley and we'd have to go. And you
could smoke inside. And that was
a lot. But we would
have to go to the kids' room. And they had like dirty
sticky toys. And I was like,
I don't want to be in this kids' room. And dirty stinky kids and then i was like i want to just like hang
out with the smokers and watch my leather bowl yeah so i did that and yeah now it's me was she
like on a team no maybe i don't know yeah i was too young to understand teams. Sure. You actually kind of still don't.
You actually never really got the concept of teams or clubs,
activities, extracurricular things.
I mean, teams are crazy,
especially when it's like I'm going to pick teams in front of people.
And then there's someone who's always left behind.
And that's last.
Yeah.
Last time I played a game where there was teams,
I said out loud, if I don't get picked first, I will die.
And then I was picked first and I felt really good about it.
They're all worried.
So you're like, oh my God, this suicidal girl over here.
We gotta pick her.
But I was like, I can't get big last yeah yeah i
i'm i'm of the school of like okay four over here there's four over here you now you're two teams
yeah but picking teams it feels rude it's so rude yeah my god like if you had to pick a team and you
didn't pick me you would never hear the end of it
this is true never i would bring it up at every occasion you sent a picture of yourself working
at disney to a group chat and i don't think i've ever seen it speaking of things on my mind that i
need to bring up i couldn't believe it i said what i've never seen that you've never shared
your disney pictures with me i have never seen you as ms? I've never seen that. You've never shared your Disney pictures with me.
I have never seen you as Ms. Incredible. I have never seen you in Disney garb. And you have pictures? I thought maybe you just didn't picture that point in your life because I've never seen
them. And you sent a picture of you like a tree? Who are you? Who are you? I was a lizard. I was
on stilts. Oh, that's why your legs were so long. I couldn't
figure it out. You were too
mad. You also sent it to
me and then said, I've never seen this picture before.
Sorry, I didn't know you wanted
to see it. Do you have a folder?
I don't. It's all mixed up.
Well, curate it.
We're going to have a nice time.
You'll cast it to the TV and I'm going to look.
Okay.
In silence.
I'll have no questions.
This is actually unhinged.
I forgot I sent it back to you and said, I've never seen this.
You said this is just like when you said you were born in Japan.
Listen, it must be exhausting to be outside of it,
but like in it, it's also very exhausting.
Yeah, I'm mad.
I am so mad that you haven't shared that life with me
i'm sorry i'll find more pictures how many how many years were you in disney only seven months
wow that's almost a year of your life i don't know about it was way before i met you what year was
this i guess not way before i met you. What year was this? 2007.
I can't believe in conversation you weren't like, yeah.
In addition to stand up, I've also been a performer at Disney.
Would you like to see pictures, Nicole?
Am I a robot now?
You could be.
Did you work at Epcot?
But you knew I worked at Disneyney you knew that i did but i guess i guess when you reveal to someone that you worked at disney you furnish pictures if you have them you furnish them
you know i guess you never asked either because they were never furnished so i didn't know if
you had any you just assume i had zero pictures i mean we were friends on facebook and i didn't i don't think there was any pictures on facebook probably
not yeah i'm so sorry i'll find all of them i'll show them to you thank you thank you i was mad
i got this joyous picture of you with long legs looking like a tree.
And I was like, what?
I'm sorry.
And I understand it's inappropriate because there were other people on the chain.
It wasn't just to you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm finding out the same time as everybody else.
I know.
That you were on stilts at Disney and had photographic evidence.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
This is tough for me.
It was a tough day. I had to go on with my day.
You're so brave.
So wait, this was 2000
what year? 2007.
Where was I in 2007?
New York?
Mm-hmm.
See, you knew where I was.
You knew exactly where I was.
Because I've revealed everything to you.
No secrets here.
I probably showed you pictures from 2007.
Me with my blue eyes.
Yeah, you have.
I've seen the blue eyes before.
Boy, those were sick.
I still have a pair.
Just in case I decide to get back into that lifestyle.
Are they good?
How long do contacts last?
You think they expire?
I would think maybe.
It's like, I don't know.
Are they hard lenses or soft lenses?
Oh, soft. I don't know why Are they hard lenses or soft lenses? Oh, soft.
I don't know why I answered like that.
They're soft.
So hard lenses can last years unless you like break them.
Soft, I wouldn't chance personally, but Judith might have some more information for us.
Yeah. I wear d for us. Yeah.
I wear dailies.
Yeah, but do you... You wear dailies, so they're done after the day.
So they do expire.
They do expire.
You would know, actually.
All contacts have an expiration date.
Some are designed to last for one year,
while others are meant to be only worn for two weeks
or as little as one day.
But if I don't wear them that day,
when do I have to not wear them?
When can...
Oh, no.
We all understand what I'm trying to ask, right?
Okay.
Yes.
We've opened out long.
Okay.
Yeah. Do unopened soft contacts expire and the the blue ones you have have you worn them before no they are unopened they're
like fresh new they're in their bed they're waiting to be awoken they're like in a little
pool they're oh my god it's kind of like matrix. You know how like the babies are like in the,
they're in the goop.
In the goop.
Yeah.
You open it and you pull them out of the goop.
Okay.
One to four years.
Oh.
If it's in the salient solution.
Could,

I guess I won't chance it.
Eyes are important.
Eyes are very important.
They're very important.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Wait, can you search how much uh blue soft contact lenses are maybe we can buy some right now for
nicole well we'd have to get my prescription uh four and 2.5 four and 2.5? Is that bad?
Yeah.
I can't see good at all.
I maybe wouldn't know who you were at this distance.
I'd have to squint.
Wait, no, I think I would if you started talking.
Oh, that's a different sense.
That's hearing.
No, and 4 and 2.5 is's not it's not bad oh fresh look color blends um i'm sure they have context yeah probably beauty eye
bui i don't know if that's 7.99 crazy lenses your color blue was like that pin it was like yes this it was like pink crayon blue yes it was
wild did you have you ever seen them in my eyes yeah did i wear it was i wearing them i think
you're phasing them out because i think i when we first met you did not have them but then at
some point you put them in i was like what's happening what is that that must have been a
shock to the system getting getting to know someone.
And all of a sudden they're like, hello, I have blue eyes now.
I mean, I like, I knew they were contacts.
But I was like, you did this on purpose.
This is for you.
Yeah.
The green ones looked more natural.
And I opted for blue because they looked more unnatural.
That's very funny.
And I couldn't tell you why. i want people to know this is fake yeah i made a choice a hard choice and even the optomologist
was like we have more natural options and i was like well simply don't show them to me no no this
is a treat for everybody to be like what what's happening? And in pictures, my eyes look like they like glue in the, it was like bright.
They looked wild.
That's really funny.
Ugh, good times.
Good times.
There was this girl on Instagram.
I'm sure I sent her to you like a while ago.
She did this filter where her eyes were purple.
And she'd be like, yeah, like it's weird having purple eyes.
But, and the people in the comments were like, there's no way that can be real. There's no way. And she's like, I don't know why people are questioning having purple eyes but and the people in the comments are like back there's no
way that can be real there's no way and she's like i don't know why people are questioning my
purple eyes it was like clearly a filter that is so funny it is really incredible what people get
angry about yeah the internet yeah um i've seen so many things where it's like obviously this
person is exaggerating or like straight up lying for like comedic effect.
Yeah.
And people in the comments are like, no, no, you can't possibly do that.
Yeah.
Like your eyes aren't purple.
And it's like.
What do you think she thinks?
But then you have people who are like in earnest.
We found this lady who does these outfits that are so basic.
Yeah.
And then it's like she's like stomping
her foot and then it changes into like a different they're all like transitions or something and then
she does the slow walk herself and i'm obsessed it's like i think this is earnest it is earnest
yeah it is so earnest and i love it and then i found a another girl i
don't think i've sent this to you she's uh one in the same she does like the little stomp transition
but hers will be oh she goes let's style it and she'll walk in with leggings and a dress
and then she'll put a belt over the dress and i'll be like styled it's great it's great she's
she's adding nothing.
Nothing.
And I love her.
And people have been like, is the style in the room?
Has it happened?
It's so funny to like roast this nice lady who's like, oh, I'm making videos because I like how I look.
And people are like, boo!
You look like shit!
It's pretty funny.
The internet is wild.
Oh, God, I do love comments.
Sometimes I'll see a video and I'll be like, ooh!
Can't wait to see what the comments are.
These comments!
People are funny.
Very, very funny.
That Lady Gaga video you sent me where she's like dancing.
Was it for the Super Bowl?
Some performance.
And it was to like mariachi music.
And it fit perfectly.
Fits perfectly, like beat by beat.
And then the first comment underneath was like, Lady Gadita.
It's so funny.
Very funny.
God, there is this woman who i love um her instagram handle is sheer something and she has the sheer truth is it me no i'm mad at that woman she didn't tell me about
disney um she i've sent her to you she's often at a gate that oh yeah gate this woman named kate won't unlock this gate
for her she's like kate come to the gate you must unlock the gate kate i can't create and she's just
rhyming gate gate create and then she stops and then starts dancing. And she's, I don't, and I think this is in earnest.
But I do think people have been like, ha, ha, ha.
And I think she's leaning in on it.
Yeah.
Or she's like, people love this so much.
I'm going to do more.
I'm very good at this thing.
Yeah.
And then she'll like be on a phone and there'll be no Kate.
And Kate still hasn't opened the gate.
Kate, open the gate.
Why are you late?
I must create.
She's really funny to me.
You know, it's great that people can find their thing.
Yeah.
And here's the thing.
I might have postured this question on an earlier episode.
Were people just doing weird shit with no cameras was she dancing in front of the gate asking for kate to unlock the gate so
she could create alone with no camera if she has kids she'd probably do it for our kids or her
partner or you know i think people would gather the people around them and be like, look at this weird thing. But I guess now you can just broadcast it to the public.
It's great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just having a nice time on the Internet.
The Internet's great right now.
Internet undefeated.
Undefeated.
I need a job, you know.
It would be nice to not be on the internet all day yeah yeah like
sometimes i'll be on twitter and i'll like laugh at something and then the first thing under i'll
be like if you're not chronically online you would never understand this and i was like i don't want
to understand this oh my god i get it i get it i it. Have we talked about that lady, the white lady who said the N word and then doubled down?
I love her.
She's funny.
She's funny.
She's funny.
And honestly, I was like, who?
She figured it out.
The pipeline to the alt-right.
You just say something real out of pocket, double down, And then they go, here's money to like appear places.
Yeah.
Isn't that wild?
Yeah.
They figured it out.
She's smart.
There's people quietly hating and not getting paid.
Say it out loud.
You got money for it.
Get some money.
Maybe this coffee did hit me. I mean mean you're firing at all cylinders right now
i'm gonna blast off i'll finish it
should we answer some questions? Yeah.
Hi, Nicole and Sashir.
I love the podcast and the energy you bring to my Wednesday mornings.
Y'all are hilarious.
And I can't help but smile and laugh along while listening to every episode.
I have so many questions I want advice on, but I'll start with this one.
So my partner and I started dating.
And at that time, my partner was living with their sister. So my partner and I started dating and at that time,
my partner was living with their sister. Eventually I moved in with them and things were great. The
sister and I got along really well, especially because we have a lot in common and I kind of,
and kind of a similar personality trait. Well, about two or three years into the relationship,
I started to notice a difference in our interactions on Instagram before she used
to like all my posts I made. But after two or three
years of me being in a relationship with her sibling, she stopped liking all of my posts
and with her siblings post. She stopped liking the ones that I had that had to do with me,
i.e. birthday posts or if we went to on a date or something like that. We did get into a tiff
a while back, but I apologize for it. And I've been trying hard to be better, a better friend
to her because I do like her as a person. But the pattern is still occurring. I felt I felt it felt passive
aggressive at first, but now I don't know what to make of it. I want to bring it up to her and ask
her about it. But I've tried to have conversation with her about more serious stuff before, and they
never really go well because she's socially awkward and nothing ever really happens with those conversations i'm at a loss for what to do and need help this person is going to be
my sister-in-law someday and i'd like to be on better footing with her but i don't know how to
start uh talking about any of the stuff with her without making it awkward or maybe jeopardizing
the relationship thanks in advance sounds like there might be other issues but if this main issue is
just she's not liking your posts anymore i don't i don't think i don't really see you that's the
issue yeah because if things are fine in person and there's no awkwardness in person i think it's
fine i think people read too much into like
social media likes and stuff like that.
Or like who's watching
my story or X, Y, and Z.
It might just be like maybe
she doesn't like that picture. I don't know.
Or maybe she does feel left out or I don't know.
But it's like you had a tiff.
So talk about the tiff.
Say tiff.
Why the tiff?
Tiff for taff.
Tiff for taff.
Yeah, maybe you just didn't unlock the gate so she can't create.
You gotta go unlock that gate for her.
But that's my...
Yeah, it seems like there might be a different problem, but this doesn't seem like it's worth talking about.
I think it's worth talking about i think
um it's like instead of like you're not liking stuff on instagram it's like hey remember the
the thing that happened you know in may um i've been thinking about it and we didn't really talk
about it and i just want to make sure that we're on great terms or good terms and uh if i would
love to talk to you about it and if now is not a good time and you
want to gather your wits since i'm bringing this up after a couple months then like can we make
a time to talk yeah i like that um solved solved oh let's get another because of instagram how do
you guys feel if you see that your partner has liked a post that you're like, hmm, like, I don't know who this person is.
They're super attractive.
Should I be worried?
Would you be worried?
I would straight up ask.
I'm bananas.
I'd be like, who is she?
Do you love her?
Do you love her?
Do you love me still?
Especially if it was two years and I was in a secure relationship.
If I was in an insecure relationship, I probably would be like, he loves her and he's fucking her and I'll stay.
And I'll stay.
I'll just live with it.
I'll just, we'll be sister wives and that'll be fine.
And I'll contact her and be like, would you like him on Thursdays?
Just so I know where he is.
I think, yeah, I would also say something.
Yeah, if it was an absolute secure relationship
where I was like, oh, there's no question in my mind
this person loves me, I'd be like, who is she?
Why?
So distressed.
But how do you even find out if they like someone's post?
Girl, you can.
I don't know you can, but like,
it's like if you are searching for it, right?
You can search for it, but sometimes Instagram does a thing where they're like hey they're creeping um so like you'll
look at somebody that you don't know and they fall they're the only person that in your common
things that follow them so it'll be like so and so liked it sometimes the internet is like, let me help you.
The internet did that to me twice.
And I was like, no.
No.
No, thank you.
I didn't see it.
I don't want it.
There was a TikTok of a woman on a plane who was filming a dude with a wedding ring flirting with a woman who was not his wife.
And she was like, hey, if this guy
going to this city wearing this green
shirt, blah, blah, blah. If he's your husband,
he is flirting hard
right now. And then she's like updating
and being like, now they're in the bathroom making out.
They exchanged numbers. They're
going home together. Blah, blah, blah.
And then the internet worked so fast. Found him
in a day. Found his
wife.
The only comments I saw were from men being like oh so now we're just filming people in public
and i was dying wow invasion of privacy and then there was a couple people who were like and now
we're gonna get tiktok's getting banned because of this because we found this man wait that's so wild has she spoken i don't think so but someone was like
he's not allowed back home i don't know how they have that information but i would die that is so
funny to find out that your husband took a trip and was cheating on you. And you're like, stay.
Just stay there.
Don't even bother. You can't come home.
Yeah.
I guess you got a one-way ticket and that fun.
Oh, no.
Return flight got canceled.
Oh, no.
Oh, and that's sad.
Listen to yourself.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What a dream.
I love it.
I love.
Oh, I love a sleuth.
I love it.
That is.
Oh, man, that's nice.
You know, I don't want to be filmed without my consent
but if i'm doing dirty film me i mean if i'm doing dirty yeah you see me doing dirty film it film it
film it don't invite that i feel you're off oh just kidding
not like sneaky immoral stuff just like wild stuff you're right i'll cross the street doing
dolphin noises yeah um the other night i was walking funny
i was walking funny and i just went, oh, I'm walking funny.
Yeah, and do you want video evidence of that?
No.
Also, last night I made fun of this lady.
I don't know why.
It was so quick, too.
So I went and saw a play, and this lady goes,
ooh, door two, this is us.
And I went, door two, this is us. And I went, door two, this is us.
And I went, oh, no, why did I do that?
And I ran away.
To her face?
No, but close enough that I think she heard me.
And I was like, why did I make fun of her?
They're excited about seeing a play.
And she was just letting her friend know that they were in the right space.
And I'm like, door two.
Yeah, don't film me.
I mean, I'm sometimes in these streets mean as hell. Yeah, do that i don't know why i was so and i hope right i hope she didn't hear me yeah because i can imagine her
waking up being like why did i say door to this is us oh she's like we'll never go to a play again
i off there's a restaurant called granville or grainville and I'll never forget this rest it's because
we drove past it and I said
oh that place looks good
and no beats nothing you went
why do you think that and I was like I don't know
the font and I
every time I pass it I'm like
the font's not even that good
oh no I'm sorry it is good font
no it's not that good it. Oh, no. I'm sorry. It is good font. No, it's not even that good.
No, it's pretty pointy.
It's probably really good inside.
Can you guys bring up Granville?
I just want you guys to see what font I thought was appetizing.
Okay.
A fun fact.
We actually went to dinner there like a month ago.
Oh, so you know the font.
Is the food good?
It's delicious.
Wow.
The service was fantastic. It's delicious. Wow. The service was fantastic.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
I love when I'm vindicated.
The font.
Every time.
Every time I pass it.
I just couldn't understand what about the exterior made you think, yes, I'm sure it's all good on the inside.
I don't know.
I just, yeah, that font got me good.
Yeah, that was the font.
And if I'm correct, Judith, you can correct me.
I believe, isn't it black owned too?
I'm not sure.
I can't believe you were hating on us.
I had no idea.
I can't believe you were hating on us.
And I hope I said it during February.
I hope I was like, that looks good in February.
And you were like, why?
I might be wrong, but I remember looking it up before we went. And I was like, why? I might be wrong,
but I remember looking it up before
we went and I was like, this looks delicious.
I could be wrong.
Who owns Granville Restaurant?
Jonathan Weiss.
Oh, what is the oldest black
owned restaurant in the United States?
No, down.
Scrolling down that one.
Jones Barbecue.
Oh, that's Arkansas.
Can you go up?
Quinn Latifah's a restaurant?
Can you go to black-owned restaurants in Los Angeles?
That might be on it, if it is.
Oh, Soul and Barbecue. Never mind, never mind. Ooh, soul and barbecue.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Oh,
blood so's.
Blood so's is pretty good.
Mm-hmm.
They got good fucking ribs and they have this like
dinosaur rib.
I don't know what that means
because dinosaurs are extinct
and it's,
it's a big bone.
Maybe it is from a dinosaur.
It can't be.
They're extinct.
They dug up a fossil.
No, there's no meat on fossils.
That's just bones.
They Jurassic Parked it.
No.
No, but there's so much meat on it.
It's wild.
I feel like the meat would atrophy if you were like gonna cryogenically freeze dinosaur meat.
Also, who did that?
The Neanderthals or the Homo sapiens?
Did you know that there's three types of people?
Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Davos.
I don't think I'm saying that right.
Can you look that up?
I don't know what a Davos is.
Davos.
They got squashed heads and they didn't survive.
Because their heads got squashed?
No, I don't know.
They weren't good enough. Are they types of Neanderthals no i don't know they weren't like good enough
are the types of neanderthals i don't think so okay i it's crazy that like there could have been
different species of people that is crazy right like if they just survived yeah if they just
like imagine we'd be like oh my god my boyfriend's such a Neanderthal. And you're like, and he is. He actually is.
He can't help it.
He's actually a Neanderthal.
Oh, my God.
He's not as evolved as me.
Whoa.
Where'd you learn this?
I'd be learning.
Yeah.
On a podcast.
We were talking about redheads having strong hair.
And then I don't know how we got onto it yeah but apparently
redheads have to get more anesthesia because like they have different genetic makeups than
other people yeah um it's hard to take them down yeah yeah wow they're too strong they we have to
stop the redheads wait did you look up the Davos?
We have to wrap up, don't we? We do.
Yes.
Okay, can you Google Neanderthal, Homo sapien, and then Davos?
Which human race is closest to Neanderthal?
Oh, okay.
I got it wrong.
Denisovans?
Denisovans.
There's so many more letters and syllables than what you said.
Yep.
You're right.
It's not Davos.
Okay.
Denisovans.
Isn't it wild that there were so many different types of, like, people-like things?
Yeah.
And then, like, they didn't survive?
Why?
It got too cold and too hot places?
I mean, honestly, probably.
Which is crazy.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Why?
We, okay.
We gotta go.
We have to go.
Because I was literally gonna be like, why did Homo sapiens survive?
And it's like, we can't.
We could just look this up later.
Oh my God.
What if we have a persistorian?
A persistorian.
A person who knows about people? A persistorian.
A person who knows about people.
A persistorian.
A historian?
But about people.
That's a historian.
A pupastorian.
Puppet story? Anthropologist?
