Starting point is 00:01:28 Seconds Another podcast Seconds Each app different from the last Seconds It's the Swiss Army Knife of Shoes Now let's Eat your two emphatic hoes
Starting point is 00:01:44 Seconds It's a two-empathetic hoax It's a nice hoax It is nice to be positive to us. That negative self-talk was really getting me down. Yeah, I was using it as a mantra and a monchi. Yeah, right. A monchi mantra. Shout out to Ferris. Actually, people are not complaining that it should be go back to the negative one. So I wonder if Ferris can do an even nastier one to us where it really goes over some insiders slash existential trauma we have.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Right. One that sings about how we'll just do whatever anybody asks of us. We'll make it nice. We'll make it mean whatever you say. Just don't make me irrelevant. Please. You can't please them all. But we'll try.
Starting point is 00:02:32 We'll do our best. I have dramatic lighting here today because I've been told that I auditioned yesterday, so I just kept it up. Oh, it's not because of the storm. There's like actual, you're lit. Yeah, I'm kept it up. Oh it's not because of the storm there's like actual you're lit. Yeah I'm lit fam and actually I can choose options if you're watching on YouTube this is sort of a hybrid cool warm this one is just warm that's all it's just cool. Very cool. I like the hybrid. You look great.
Starting point is 00:03:00 And I put some foundation and makeup and I was able to smooth out. I did Botox on my forehead. So I smoothed out and then I did eyebrows. I dyed my hair. Yeah, your triangle of sadness, gone. Yeah, and I whitened and widened my smile. Yeah, you got jaw surgery. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I got jaw surgery and I got lip plumpers. It looks like you got lip plumper. Yeah, all right, I was gonna say. Yeah, my And I got lip plumpers. It looks like you got lip plumper. Yeah, all right, I was going to say. Yeah, my lips are like super plump. And I've been texting a bunch of celebrities. It actually, interestingly to me, it doesn't look. It looks like you got them rather than filled. You got them reversed.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Like your bottom lip is clearly on the top. And your top lip is on the bottom now. That's fascinating. I got my lips thinned. Yeah. Ha. Do you anybody who's ever done that, you probably could, you know, do a little stitch down here on the bottom. What are lips? Like just a completely separate kind of skin, right?
Starting point is 00:03:57 It's a sphincter. It doesn't go anywhere else. Are lips a sphincter? I don't think so. I think a sphincter is a circular muscle. Lips are like, they're just pink. It's an orifice. It's an opening. Yeah, opening. Yeah, it's a hole But no other part of your body is pink like that like you wouldn't ever have a lip on you Don't you have a pink little asshole?
Starting point is 00:04:18 You don't have a pink little asshole a tiny cute pink little bum Let's do let's see your ass. I don't want to show it. I don't want to show it right now. Let's see your little pink guy. I'm embarrassed too. All right, this is segments. Finally, a show about us just waxing
Starting point is 00:04:37 and waning philosophical. Right, and waning, literally. Yeah, sometimes it's a game, sometimes it's a convo, sometimes it's a game, sometimes it's a convo, sometimes it's a mystery guest. You never know what's gonna happen in segments, and I guess that's part of the charm slash appeal. Right, and you suggested a segment today,
Starting point is 00:04:56 the game Ghost, which just made me think of like car games. And then I was thinking about that celebrity game, where you say a celebrity in the last letter of the last name, you have to say a celebrity whose name starts with that letter. You said that that we can, you said we couldn't play it because it would go on forever because you know thousands or hundreds of celebrities. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah. And you're like, no, what's that? And then you said R and I couldn't think, and I was like, I could only think of Regina Spector who I don't know. I don't know why that name is part of me Roger. I have it So I think it's gonna last a lot shorter than you think and you think it's gonna last a lot longer than I think Yeah, I guess the answer will be somewhere in between the real the real like limiting factors How long we have to think of a name like if you give me five minutes?
Starting point is 00:05:42 I'll think of one but if it to be done in the next five seconds, then maybe I'll blink. Yeah, I mean, I think it should be five to 10 seconds. Okay, so it's 10 seconds. Okay, I would say let's do a practice round. But again, the practice round might last for five, 10, 15 minutes. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:59 And you said I can only use super famous athletes, right? I can't just use anybody I know in the sports world. Right. I think, and I'm just going to trust you because I think it's OK if I don't know the sports person, but I think you have to be honest with yourself. Like this, you know when you're naming an esoteric one, I feel like you do it all the time on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:06:22 You do it as a joke sometimes. You know which ones are a little less. Well, let's start like 10 out of 10, Tom Brady, you know that, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, Tom Brady. Nine out of 10. Have you heard of Charles Barkley?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, I would consider him also a 10 out of 10. Eight out of 10. I mean, you know who Manny Ramirez is, obviously. Yeah, but that's I see you're you're going back in time a little bit. So that's that's an old star. Yeah, but he was seven out of ten. Time. Yeah, seven out of ten. You know who James Worthy is.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I don't think that's a seven out of ten. I don't know who James Worthy is. OK, I think I should know everybody up to a five out of 10. Who is James Worthy? Yeah, he was like played with Magic Johnson. What about Drew Bletso? Yeah, I know that name. You know the name Drew Bletso,
Starting point is 00:07:13 but you don't really know from what and why. Right. Yeah. Okay. But you would like, do you know Stan Warinka? That's a, I think that's a five. Swiss tennis player, yeah. Well, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Stan Warinka is probably less famous than James Worthy. You just know him better. Hmm. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I guess maybe so. But I think they have to be if it's an old sports star, they have to be have been really good. Like, OK, Stan Warinka in 15 years, me saying his name. I don't think people know who that is, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:44 that a lot of people know who he is now. Right, though, a lot of people are like, he's now right. Yeah. But you got to watch Stan's game. You got to watch Stan's best backhand in the what? Since 2015, at least easily, easily. OK, all right. So we're going to get started. By the way, when you said Tom Brady, I couldn't think of anyone that started with the Y.
Starting point is 00:08:02 So why is I think the game is going to. Yeah, it's going to go by quick. I guess the trick is hard dollars on a that started with the Y. So, I think the game's gonna, yeah, it's gonna go by quick. I guess the trick is $100 on it. Nudge you into a Y or an X name and that's really hard. Yeah, I mean X is impossible. Yeah, there's like Xavier's and, yeah, I don't know. Are there any other X names? I can think of a porn star that starts with an X.
Starting point is 00:08:24 That counts. As long as she's more famous than Drew blood. So yeah, she's definitely made more films. Yeah. Okay. Let's let's get started. Oh, yeah. Are there stakes? Do you want to sing a song after this or how do you want to? I was thinking a hundred bucks, but we can do a sing. We could do want to sing.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Which one's scarier? I would rather give you $100 than sing, I think. Yeah, would you rather sing? The loser has to either pay 100 bucks or sing a song. So you'll decide. Okay, and you get to choose. Wow. Okay.

Starting point is 00:21:38 And that's it so far, right? That's right. I have had it in my head that if I ever lose, I would sing April Come She Will by Simon and Garfunkel because it's one of my favorite songs, but it's also very, very short. Interesting. I don't know that song. Well, then you can't sing it, but it is. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous song. Yeah, I don't want to sing a gorgeous song. What if I sing? All right, I'll sing long December since it's raining right now Great this is a counting crow song
Starting point is 00:22:22 Yep, I love this and it's great. Yeah, it's a great song. It's a really good song and I'm gonna fucking Turn it into an incredible song. Yeah, it's not that short. I'm surprised you picked it. Yeah. Not that I'm reading the lyrics. It's kind of it's kind of really long actually. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:37 OK. And this is along December, written by Adam Duritz. When his song is on the line, you've lost every time. I only lose when it's cash. I can only lose tunes and you lose tunies. Two dollars in Canadian money. That's right. Starts with kind of an instrumental, but of course I'll go acapella. Long December.
Starting point is 00:23:09 That's good. I like when it starts with like the yeah, like that name. The song is the first editorial eyes. I think just sit back and sing and you do remember you do have to give it your all. So like, don't phone it in. That's part of the bet is that you have to really sing this in earnest. All right. Xander Bogarts, by the way, is OK.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Long December and there's reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last. The last. You can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving. Now the days go by so fast. Take your time with it.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And it's one more day up in the canyons. And it's one more night in Hollywood. If you think I could be forgiven, wish you would.

Starting point is 00:30:53 I was trying to be polite, but you- It was off key. You don't have it. You don't have it. Yeah. And you picked a song that was going to showcase all of your weak points. I mean, you have no showmanship.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You have no bravado. You have no gravitas about no soul behind it. There's no soul behind. There's no soul. Yeah. Right. The eyes are a window to the soul and you're blind. Right. You should have sung like more money. Mo problems or something just so you can like wrap. Don't know. Yeah. they want from me is just.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Oh, I sent you a song that would be the hardest song to sing for this game. Oh, yeah. Um, wasn't it? I could be. I could be. I could be. Violin sky. I could be hair.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I forget that guy's name. Yeah, that song is so good. That song is so good. It's crazy. And he fucking dominates it. He sings like Freddie Mercury slash Celine Dion. Yeah, I feel like that song came out when I was in high school or college or something. You know, I only found out about it recently because it's a popular, it was like a popular TikTok meme
Starting point is 00:32:07 like a year ago. So then they discovered the song retroactively. That song is, it's doing a lot that song. I didn't seem like ring galee, ooh. Okay, so this is a segment called tell me about your last weekend or something, wherein you for the first time, how old is Gemma, your daughter? She is eight and a half months old.
Starting point is 00:32:34 OK, for the first time in eight and a half months, you took care of her without Jill. That's correct. That's correct. So we've done. We've done it. Eight months straight. Yeah's correct. That's correct. So Jill was there for eight months straight. Yeah, right. No, never ever has Jill slept away from the baby. I've done it a couple of times, gone on tour, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Baby does not need me. She still thinks I'm her uncle. To the point where when Jill was going away, I kept on saying, I'm gonna to babysit Gemma this weekend. It's just childcare. It's just you will be with your daughter this weekend. Stop calling it babysitting. I'm taking care of Jill's daughter this weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Yeah. I know that she's my daughter, but it is, watching her, I'm just calling it babysitting. But yeah, like, nobody trusted me with a baby. Nobody trusted me. Jill was like, I didn't trust myself. Jill was leaving for Miami. She was going to Miami for three days.
Starting point is 00:33:36 So two nights, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night. Leaving Thursday, coming back Sunday. Yeah, it's not like you did a baby step of like, let me leave for a day. Was there a talk of I can come back early if necessary? Yes, there was a lot of talk of like, I will come back early.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I always go like two am that night. Well, the entire time leading up to it, it was like a game of chicken. Like Jill was like, I'm gonna go on this trip. And I was like, yeah, okay, like book it. We'll see if you actually go. And then she's like, I'm gonna book it. We'll see if you actually go. And then she's like, I'm gonna book it. We'll see if you let me leave.
Starting point is 00:34:07 You know, like just like both of us, it was like we were playing a game of pretend with neither of us actually ever thinking she was gonna leave. Like Gemma just, she never ever wanted a bottle. Like I think I was never bottle like Jill had to. Yeah, yeah. She, I think at four weeks old, I gave her a bottle like I think that was not a thing like Jill had to yeah yeah she I think at four weeks old I gave her a bottle but as soon as she had like her
Starting point is 00:34:30 she could decide when her like sucking reflex would go in her you know whether whether or not she wanted to suck on it she would spit the bottle out she was not interested she would only so when she took I think like maybe five or six months. Okay. So she's going to bottle for a few months. Yeah. She lets the nanny give her a bottle during the day, but you'll like still nurses are when she's going to sleep.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And for whatever reason, she whenever I try to give her a bottle, she's just like, not you, you don't have it. You're an imposter. You're not him. Get the fuck out. And then so before Jill left, we're like, let's do a like a test. I'm gonna, Jill is home. I'm gonna go upstairs and try to put Gemma down. Like Jill does it all the time. How hard can it be? It sounded like I was murdering her. Like it was, she was Wednesday or Tuesday before.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah, this was like Tuesday before she left. She, as soon as we go upstairs, she starts just going like, huh, huh. Just like, look here, I'm like, something's wrong. Nothing's not right here. I go to her room, I shut the door. This is all stuff Jill does. And she just starts, she goes batshit.
Starting point is 00:35:47 She's just like screaming. She knows, she knows something is off. Yeah. She's calling my bluff. And I, at a certain point, I stopped even trying to put her down. I'm just like standing there, like holding her, trying to get her to stop crying. But really, I'm just like holding her as close as I can to the door. So Jill, feel sorry for me to come in.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Is this okay? Cause she's gonna yell so loudly to Miami. How on earth is this gonna happen? We were just like, I think she's too smart for us to like play this game with her. We just have to like, you have to actually not be here. And you know, it's, people have done this for a long time. Like, yeah, and sometimes babies cry and they fall asleep. Yeah, she'll go to sleep. She'll go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:36:34 It might be hard on me, but, and it might be like, stressful for her, but she's ultimately, she's gonna go to sleep and it'll all be fine. Yeah. And then I still like, up until Jill left in the morning, I thought she was gonna change her mind. Yeah, I'll take you to the airport. Yeah, but then she was, then she was just one night,
Starting point is 00:36:55 she was gone. And didn't reply to my texts or calls for a week. So first night. First, I mean, it all, it went so much smoother than the trial run. It was like Gemma, it was like she took pity on me. Every, like, it was like she was like, this guy's hand over his head, I'm going to,
Starting point is 00:37:19 I'm just gonna be cool. Like that first night, for the first time ever, I mean, since she was like a month old, I put the bottle near her mouth, and she just like, she was like, ah, fuck it. And she drank the entire bottle. Yeah. Was it for like, she had, she eats solid foods now too. So she's like, she can eat when Jill's not there. It's no, it's breast milk that was frozen. We thought it, it's more just for comfort,
Starting point is 00:37:47 but she, yeah, she drank it. I sat in the little rocker near the crib. I read her a little story. She starts getting a little sleepy. I lay her in the crib. She falls asleep and stays asleep. Stays asleep and it was completely fine. But then I got too much confidence
Starting point is 00:38:09 because the next night, I got cocky. You took her to the bar. The next night we ran the whole entire thing back. I just wanna feel like she could hang. We did it, but at like 7.30, after I put her down at like 6.30, like wakes up when she starts crying a little bit and I am like, oh I wonder if she like sometimes she has to burp So I'm like, I think she just has a burp in there So I open the door to her room and it's sweltering Lee hot like for some reason the split system
Starting point is 00:38:42 Had the temperature set to 88 degrees. It's too hot. Like way too hot. It wasn't, it hadn't hit 88, but when I walked in, it felt like, you know, I walked into like a sauna. You checked in on it. Yeah, it was 83 degrees in her room. And you're like, oh my God, I made a terrible mistake.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Like, oh wow, this is, so I didn't know it's, so I'm like, she's crying. I tried to burp her. I opened the window to try to cool the room out. But then like I had to take her into the hallway where it was light, like in the other. I'm just we're just like wandering around the house at this point. And she's like getting increasingly upset, uh, screaming at me. I'm feeling like a moron because are you giving like play by play or is it like,
Starting point is 00:39:23 oh, it was fine. Or like, OK, I moved the degrees to 88, but now I opened a window. Do you think? She I'm not giving her that much play by play, but she is looking she's in Miami. She knows that it's bedtime She's looking at the mom monitor. Oh, and then she's like yeah, and see it. Yeah, she can see Like the first the first night she texted me after I was like in the room singing to Gemma and Jill was like, it's so cute. And I was like, you're spying on me. You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:39:50 You're spying. That's embarrassing. The second night, I was like, I see it's 88 in the corner of the room. Yeah, you can see the temperature. Luckily she didn't see that part. But she's like, I wonder why she's so upset. And then I told her that the room was 85 degrees.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And then I was paranoid about it the rest of the week. Cause I'm like, I didn't set it to that. It just for some reason. Every 30 minutes I got to check the temperature. Yeah. So then I was checking that all weekend. But no, I think the biggest struggle was on Saturday, where like day three, I didn't really know what to do. I felt like it was a day of just making sure
Starting point is 00:40:40 Gemma had everything, but always rushing. So to eliminate some of the, like the factors, I took Dingo to the doggy daycare. But like getting Gemma there, I had to get both of them in the car. By the way, this is all stuff Jill does like every single day. Yeah, so it's not a big deal for her, but for me, I'm like going to the car, it's cold out,
Starting point is 00:41:04 but like Gemma was upset getting into her jacket. I'm trying to get the dingo. So I'm like going outside with my shoes, just like smushed onto the back. My shoes are not on. I'm wearing a T-shirt, it's 28 degrees. I have like my jacket over my shoulder, because I'm like, I can't just put, I can't put this on.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I have to get everybody to the car. I'll get dressed once I'm there. And just to get your dog to a place where somebody else is taking care of him. Yeah, yeah, this is just so I can only have one baby. And one thing to look after. One responsibility. And then twice that day,
Starting point is 00:41:34 like I would be driving to do an errand and she'd fall asleep so I'm like, okay, well, I'm just gonna keep on driving, cause she's asleep. Sleep time is precious, yeah. Sleep time is like you can fast forward the day, it's like she's not mad, she's not upset. Right, she's asleep. Sleep time is precious, yeah. Sleep time is like you can fast forward the day. It's like she's not mad, she's not upset. Right, she's passed out.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Yeah. And the better she sleeps during the day, the better she sleeps at night. But like I would be in the car on the way back from dropping off Dingo, she falls asleep and a 20 minute airing turns into like just me driving around for an hour and 40 minutes circling, but getting closer to my house because when she gets up,
Starting point is 00:42:05 I want to be there instead of just like 20 minutes away. Yeah, so like the last 20 minutes is just me going around the block in our neighborhood. Yeah, and Jill could see that too. She has the life that she could track me. Yeah, by the end of it, by the end of like all of these days, I was just like, I would put Gemma in there and I would just like the house was utterly destroyed because these days, I was just like, I would put Gemma in there and I would just like,
Starting point is 00:42:25 the house was utterly destroyed. Cause you walk around and you're like, okay, you're like, you want to play on the ground? Let's dump out all these toys, all these books. Oh no, you don't want to do this anymore. You're hungry, let's go into the kitchen, but nobody's cleaning up that thing. That's usually what I do when Jill takes her somewhere.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Yeah. So like, I'd come to- So you need two to three adults per baby. Imagine having another baby. At the end of the, at the end of every single day, I would come down to like living room is destroyed, huge mess in the kitchen, laundry's half done. Everything is just like on the floor.
Starting point is 00:42:55 You gave up so much to the point where like, I wasn't even, I was just like kicking my shoes off loose in the hallway, Dingo's leash is on the ground. And then it took me like, oh, I guess each night I ordered, I ordered food. Oh yeah, I ordered food and somebody stole it off of the front porch one night. Which was very funny. It's like, it's, I'm so dead tired. which was very funny. It's like, I'm so dead tired.
Starting point is 00:43:24 9 p.m. I finally get like a burrito delivered. And I go out and it's just not there. I look at the ring and I just see a guy wander up our front steps, grab it and walk away. So I have to worry about him the rest of the weekend too. You text me Jill. It happened again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:47 The burrito thief. He's coming back for me I think. Well you come home now. So Jill comes home on Sunday. Are you like Jesus thank God. I need a four day break of my own. Yeah. I mean I was like by the time she got home I I was like, oh, this is, I didn't
Starting point is 00:44:07 feel like I needed a four day break, but I felt like this is going to be awesome. I can do something for myself for the first time in three days. Right. Rather than constantly be thinking about keeping this thing alive and happy. Yeah. And she went to bed so early and I had like three hours to myself every single night, but it wasn't like, it wasn't, all that could possibly be was just like laying on the couch.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Like there was, I think there was one night where I started watching a movie and I didn't like it. I didn't even have the energy to turn it off. So I just started looking at my phone as it was playing. I like was just lying on the floor on my phone as a movie was playing and somebody else was eating my burrito down the street Did you end up ordering another burrito? That night I did yes. Yes, I did. I didn't write 930 that night. Yeah, it was great
Starting point is 00:44:56 It was worth the wait too. All right. So now that you know how Kind of doable it is. I feel like yeah isn't that the, the best mix? Like you can go away for a few days, recharge your batteries. Jill can go away for a few days. Or is the lesson here we can never leave ever again. No, I think, I think it gets easier. I think that Jill could like, if anything, this was harder on Jill than on me at
Starting point is 00:45:20 Gemma, cause like, she was constantly like looking, checking worries. Well, she was like, you're not going to be able to do this without me. Or she. Cause like- She was constantly like looking, checking, worried. Well, she was like, you're not going to be able to do this without me. She wasn't like that dismissed. She was like, this is going to be really hard, whatever. Like she was worried about us. And then when she left, and I told her that the first day went well,
Starting point is 00:45:38 she just responded, she doesn't need me. Now I'm definitely coming. Right. Now I'm upset, but the other direction. And we bonded so we almost bonded too hard over that three days. Cause now when I like leave the room, she gets really upset. And when I like, even last week or two weeks ago, I was able to like give her to other people, like when Jill's dad was over, like Gemma would like go, or go to my brother or whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And then at the end of that weekend, she like wouldn't go to her uncle. She wouldn't go to her grandfather. She just wanted to like be in my arms, which was fucking awesome. Like in three days, you untrained eight and a half months of bonding. And then she got home and saw Jill and started crying.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Who is this stranger? She was, no, she was so happy when she saw Jill. But then as soon as I, like, we're all like laying on the floor in the living room and then I stood up and Gemma was like, just jerked her head and it's like looking for me and Jill was like, Oh my God, she likes you more than me now. Wow. But she doesn't. Tables have turned. I you more than me now. Wow. But she doesn't. The tables have turned.
Starting point is 00:46:46 I'm the bottle guy now. One last question. When you slept and it was just you, were you like half asleep or were you able to go into full restful sleep? I can always go into full restful sleep. But I normally, I don't even wake up. Or wake up at 4 AM to pee or you like, let me go check on her.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Or you're like, oh, whatever, she's fine. I look at, yeah, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I looked at the monitor. I wouldn't go in there, but I looked at the monitor. I looked at the heating system, made sure that it was a crisp 74 in her room. But like when Jill is home, I'll sleep through the night and then I'll wake up
Starting point is 00:47:24 and I'll be like, wow, Gemma slept last night. And she was like, she was actually up at midnight two and four. Like I don't know, I don't notice that. But when Jill was gone, I, like she was crying in the middle of the night one night and I, and I heard it. So I think there's something in my, in my body that unlocked when I, when it knew that I was the only adult. Yeah, you had to be on call a little bit. Yeah, I remember one time of it all, his mom was telling us because her brother had a baby and she's like, once you have a baby, you never sleep again.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I'm like, OK, let's file that. Oh, yeah. You never sleep again. I think it's true. But it's like, I think one of the people never sleeps again because I You sleep again. I slept I sleep fine. I say Jill was always a light sleeper and she doesn't sleep that much still, but everything is good for me All right, good to know you survived survived and thrived and advanced. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:48:21 and Next time next time you should come out, we can do it together. Kind of like keep Dingo this next time. You don't have to give him away. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. How long was he there? Doggy daycare style.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Just for the day, just for Saturday. That's good. Yeah. No, I wouldn't give him away overnight. I still need my guy around. I just wanted him to get his energy out. You know, so cold exercise, of course. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:52:06 No, Tech Talk. Right. There's a pretty exciting new bit of technology out there that I wanted to run by you slash tell you about. See what you think about it. This is the Apple glasses. Yeah, it's the Apple Vision Pro. It's their first new product since 2015 when they released the iWatch Which were really also skeptical of the iWatch?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yes, and I still am and I still think it sucks and wearable tech. This is like the next evolution of that It's basically it's goggles VR goggles that you put on your face and it's like augmented computer system So I thought these were already out or were they just announced and now they're like for sale? Correct, they announced it like in, I don't know, September and then now you can actually purchase slash use so people are buying it for $4,000 and using it like as a, they basically turned their computer into like this
Starting point is 00:53:00 augmented minority report style. So it's like, I'm looking at you and then I grab it and make it bigger. Now there's a giant big screen TV and then I look to the right and I put my iTunes there on the wall and then I look to the left and there's a FaceTime happening and then I walk down the hall
Starting point is 00:53:14 and I put art on the wall. So like everything is like virtual AR, VR, hybrid computer on my face. Yeah. That kind of aesthetic has never appealed to me. Like I saw that video you sent me where that guy has like a big screen and then his email, a shopping list, like pink, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:33 refrigerator. But it's all like 3D. It's all digital. Yeah. Like when you watch that video, are you like, this looks awesome? When I watch the video, I'm like, oh, I'd like to try it, but I can't imagine wearing the VR all day, every day in my house, like to actually access this stuff. Yeah, and doesn't have to be plugged in? It has to be plugged into a battery pack that you wear on your asses.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Ass. I would walk around. Yeah, I'd love to try them on. I'm not saying I wouldn't, I'm not so against it that I wouldn't even try it on. But like the only thing I could actually see myself using it for is VR porn. Interesting, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I'm not going to spend $4,000 on that, you know? No, how should you? Yeah, like I don't, that guy's like computer setup where he has like three or four monitors or something. I don't have a job where that is a requirement. I get like 10 emails and a bunch of texts throughout the day.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I have a couple of meetings, but it's not like I don't need a second monitor, let alone the ability to like pin in and large. Yeah, anything. But like, let's say you go to a coffee shop or you're on an airplane and you have your little laptop, right? If you had the goggles, you can, in theory, you have a giant big screen TV playing a football game
Starting point is 00:55:05 while you're also typing an email and you don't even need the computer. You're just fucking air typing on a fake keyboard. You sort of get over the fact that you look crazy because you're air typing. You can air type? Yeah, there's a virtual keyboard. Some people use a real keyboard and some people are just like air typing on the virtual keyboard that comes up on your thing. Yeah. The virtual keyboard is the first time that I'm like, that's kind of cool. But like, yeah, I can wear it outside slash on things. And I don't think I
Starting point is 00:55:36 would ever get over looking like a loser. So for that reason alone, I'm out. But also the tech aspect of it isn't even that compelling that I'm like, damn, I wish I wasn't so vain that I could get over it because this is so awesome. So like, I think it's mildly cool. Well, I'll tell you this. Yeah, mildly cool. Yeah, no, you can continue.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Is that what we're saying? No. And you're intrigued. It's mildly cool, but I think the downside of the cost, looking stupid and just the general notion of being like more plugged in than less, which is something it's something that I would not really want in my life. So I'm out.
Starting point is 00:56:14 But I think that virtual keeping is fine. The looking stupid thing. Did you not think about that with the AirPods that you're currently wearing? Didn't you once think that it looked like little cigarettes in your ears? Oh, I don't know. I guess I must have. I think the looking stupid thing fades as more people use it. Like, I do remember the general sentiments like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:56:37 Like, you have two little nubs in your ears and now it looks so commonplace. Yeah. Yeah. Remember, like the idea of seeing somebody with the Bluetooth that your piece was very funny. And then also another cool thing you could do with the VR AR this vision pro thing, you let's say you put it on and then you go into and you're playing with Gemma and it's recording the whole thing in your house. Then in 10 years, you can put it on and like walk through your house
Starting point is 00:57:07 and see Gemma there again as a little baby, as a little child. That's like disturbing. I. So it's like interactive videos and photos. Right. I don't think I would. I think I don't think my heart could handle that. That wouldn't be good for me.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Your head could. Your heart that couldn't. Yeah. No, that sounds like. That sounds like we shouldn't have that power. That's too. It's going too far. Okay. What about this interior design?
Starting point is 00:57:40 You walk into your room and you're like, click to make your wall green, change your couch to this, and you can literally walk around and visualize that room Yeah, I Guess I would need to like see it to believe it because every time I've put on like VR glasses And somebody's like doesn't this feel like you're there. I'm like No, it doesn't it's blurry and it hurts my head. Yeah, it's I've never ever felt like
Starting point is 00:58:07 Whoa, this is the future every time I put it on. I'm like wow, this is a weird contraption That is quite getting it right. Yeah, which a lot of people I put it on the first gen like imagine the first iPhone were you on board right away? Maybe not it didn't look great, but then it like iterates it makes it smaller gets sharper, it lighter, it hurts less. It's less like crazy and weird. Yeah. So I'm happy that it's happening, I suppose. I'm not like, I'm not like this is so dumb that nobody should be wearing it. It's fine by me. And if they get really, really good, I could see me trying one on. Yeah. But lighter goggles, once it's already been more socially acceptable, but you're already starting
Starting point is 00:58:47 to see people in New York walking around with them on, which is kind of crazy. Yeah, I mean, there's something sad to me about, I'm just imagining being at my house cooking breakfast with the family. And right now, I watch. You're doing the goggles. Yeah, like watching YouTube.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I want to watch, say, I watch soccer in the like, and we have a projector in the living room. I put the projector down, play in the game, and I can like go into the kitchen and I'm still listening. Everyone's listening. It's like loud to everyone. Yeah. But it feels like even though I'm doing this thing, I'm still present. If I was walking around in goggles, would people even talk to me in my house with the norming they'd have to explore you slash shame you into taking it off
Starting point is 00:59:30 I'm like cooking eggs, but like just looking over to my right because that's where I pinned the soccer I'm talking to Jill at the table, but I pinned the soccer game right to her face. It's Lionel Messi deep fake talking. Yeah Did you pick up the eggs today? Hello? a little messy, deep fake talking to you. Did you pick up the eggs today? Hello, can you hear me? Can I have your autograph? Cause your brain doesn't fucking realize it's not Christiano Ronaldo.
Starting point is 00:59:52 I'll tell you what it does. It looks, it makes me not look forward to, but it makes me like think about retirement or like living in an old folks home someday. Like I'll just, I will plug my shit into that. And that's what I'll do. Like I think I'll get into it when I can no longer be out there and experience the world.
Starting point is 01:00:12 I think about visiting my grandfather in his old folks home and like, you know, I walked in, he had a roommate, he's watching like a Dartmouth football game on a 15 inch tube screen TV, you know, and that's his like escape. So I look, I'm like, oh, I'm lucky that when I'm like bedridden or whatever my old age, I could, I could look over at my roommate
Starting point is 01:00:38 and that would be Leonel Messi. And I could look up at my orderly changing Changing my bedpan and that's Cristiano Ronaldo. How cool would it be to have fucking, who's the son on Tottenham, the Korean player? Youngmin Son? Yeah, how cool would it be to have him? Yeah, actually that would be a good Y name. Youngmin Son.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Just fucking changing. I think it starts with an age. Yeah, really? Yeah, yeah Sing again. Yeah, I was gonna say like to have them change your diaper or whatever Yeah, kind of and and it will yeah, that's kind of sick. Yeah, but it's also new I'm also like intrigued enough to try it and there is a two-week return policy I'm like should I just buy one to have it for a week and return it just to like see what it would be like? Get it when I'm there.
Starting point is 01:01:28 We can do it as a segment. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, we can go pick one up and have it, two of us wearing virtual goggles looking at each other. And it also helps with like that, like if you're in a room in New York, I'm in a room in LA, but it looks like we're occupying the same space. That's kind of cool. Yeah, I'm in a room in LA, but it looks like we're in the same. We're occupying the same space. That's kind of cool.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Yeah. I would be, I would definitely be intrigued, but then if people were watching the video of this podcast, um, we would be wearing goggles, which would be great. But our screen would have our digital eyes like blinking. Oh, really? Seconds. Yeah. They have like a digital pass through and they say like when I play my Oculus the the mini golf game it like gives me a headache after 45 minutes because it's sort of like light and rudimentary
Starting point is 01:02:12 They say that this one is so sharp and that you can wear it for hours at a time And it doesn't give you a headache of course There's also some people on Twitter like the headset's too heavy. It hurt my neck. I can never wear it It runs the gamut. I can see that because I have Apple, the AirPods Maxes, and they, they're pretty heavy. I can't wear them all day. Yeah. The headset is 28 pounds and it's really forward. Wow.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Yeah. No, let's get it for a segment when I come out. How's your back? Is it getting better? It feels you're gonna have to need. Yeah. You're going to need a lot of upper back strength to hold this headset up. Yeah, I would hate for that to condense my sacrum at all, my spinal column.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Do you know I found out I have scoliosis? No, I didn't know that. Yeah, when they took an X-ray of my back to see what was up, they have a tiny little bit of scoliosis. That means your spine is sort of wavy? It has like a tiny little bit of scoliosis. That means your spine is sort of wavy? It has like a tiny little bit of a curve. Yeah, I think it's like less than five degrees or something. So it wouldn't have like shown up on a visual test, but the doctor was also like,
Starting point is 01:03:16 yeah, I don't know why, like the way they check for scoliosis is like once in seventh grade, but like you haven't had your growth spurt yet. And it's like, yeah, you might have not had it in seventh grade. But did anyone ever look at you at your back again? And I was like, no, no, they didn't. And I did grow like six inches between eighth and 12th grade. So, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:38 They do they don't do a lot of things that they should. And then you go and just after one day and like, did you ever do that? Like, no, nobody ever does anything. Yeah, anyway, you have a spine thing now, because nobody thinks to ever check it. So your hip might hurt forever. So the goggles actually would help that. They would allow a doctor, a chiropractor,
Starting point is 01:03:57 to come in there and sort of adjust you virtually. Well, they would let me just be on bed rest for the rest of my life. I would never have to put pressure on my feet or back again I could go hang gliding in Tangier if I wanted to Chem is like, well, you play with me. I'm six years old get away from me. You're not quiet Harry Kane Little Harry Kane wants to play with me. I'm playing Harry Kane. I'm playing little Harry Kane wants to play with me.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I'm playing FIFA 29. Fuck. You weigh 435 pounds at this point. Okay, that's enough. We've talked enough. That's tech talk. We discussed, we played, we teched, we talked. I'm glad we got to the bottom of it.
