Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum original. Stand up. No. Dance for us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Take your shirt off.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Get comfortable. Have this wine. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:01:33 That was great, but we should choose shorter theme songs when we have new guests, I think, because they didn't know how long it would last. Yeah, it's just uncomfortable. I didn't want to interrupt it because I felt like I wanted to respect kind of the work of the production. But how long would you say that lasted? An hour? An hour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:53 I fell asleep and then like, how long was I out for kind of thing? It's kind of like how a two and a half hour movie feels like 10 hours, but like a 90 minute movie feels like it just flies by. Exactly. So a 90 second theme song might as well be an hour. Yeah. 60 seconds is fine. Two and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Anyway, thanks to Henry Giles. Yes. For writing that for us. Great. Thank you. It makes me want to listen to Mac DiMarco. Wow, so you knew that was a Mac DiMarco parody. Yeah, well.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Having never listened to Mac DiMarco before, I could sense it was Mac DiMarco. Right, just from the vibes. And even listened to Mac DiMarco. Right. Would you say you knew what song he was parodying? Yeah, probably Good Times. Yeah. Oh, Good Times by Mac DiMarco.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. Let the Good Times roll. It's called No Other Heart. No Other Heart. No Other Heart. I think Good Times was, it's like the track right before. Yeah. That's actually a really cool name for a song, I think.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Good Times? No, No Other Heart. Yeah. Good Times is like a Beach Boys song, I imagine, right? That was back when they didn't name any songs here. No. Because it was Mozart's Fifth Symphony. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And they were like, oh, we can title them. Like, let's call it Good Times. Yeah, this one's like the fun one. No. This one's the sad one. Yeah. Now you have to have really unique names. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:04 We're here with Natalie. Yeah. And Charlie. That's right. I yelled it. That was easy. Yeah. It's easy because you don't know weird names like Well Amir.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Right. It's kind of. Thank God. Yeah. I mean, if that happened to me, I'd be. I would just be like, hey, I'm here with and then point to you. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I'd go Amir. Nice. All American names. Yeah. And you are, you guys are hosting a podcast called Exploration Live. That's coming to Hedgum. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:31 That's why we're here. So excited. That's why we're here. Let's say it. And it's exciting to have you guys here. Thanks. We're excited to be here. The podcast already exists, but it's coming to Hedgum in March.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Exactly. Yeah. Right now we're kind of more independent. Yeah. In each other's rooms. Wow. It's actually not to like urge you guys to leave Hedgum, but isn't Indy kind of cool? It is a cool vibe.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Yeah. No, and we're considering leaving. Really? Yeah. Because you guys haven't joined yet. Yeah. No, but we're just keeping it on the table. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:01 We're sure. We're excited to leave. Yeah. Well, it's been amazing. Yeah. It's such a crazy ride. Yeah. To see the corporate side of things.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Right. And you're like, that's not for us. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We were Indy at one point. Yeah. Then we were Indy again. Then we were Indy.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Then we started Hedgum, which is like sort of Indy to Indy. Hedgum's kind of Indy. That's one of the Indy-ish. Yeah. Indy adjacent. But then you become the suit, which isn't cool either. What can you do? Right.
Starting point is 00:04:29 We can't wait to be the suits. Yeah. So true. And honestly, we didn't really, we couldn't wait to sell out in a way. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Well, because it was like, we were so into the idea of being Indy. And then it's like, we're like, okay, who's going to do like the mixing and like producing
Starting point is 00:04:41 of it? Yeah. We have to do that? Oh, that can't work. Indy is cool. Yeah. But being Indy kind of sucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's a lot of actual like. Yeah. Because then you have to do shit. Yeah. Can you imagine us like on the board? No. And that's what we were doing. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Mailing air checks to an advertiser. We used to have to do that. Yeah. You would, we would cold email like Frank and Oak. Yeah. Here's our traffic stats. Can you send over a copy so we can run an ad? Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah. It was so Indy. It was so Indy. It was Indy in a not cool way. So I would like fill out tax paperwork, which is like nobody tells you that that's part of Indy. Right. So true.
Starting point is 00:05:22 10.99 or as Indy as it gets. Yeah. Right. But that's not fun, Indy. No. No. And by the way, we're not rocking with taxes. We are.
Starting point is 00:05:30 We are. Oh, we are. There's always one person that does the taxes. Sorry, we are. We're like, we are not doing it. I'm like, we are it. That's right. You need one person to do the taxes.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I am doing the taxes. Yeah. Amiru is my you. Yeah. I am my feminine power with my dynamic with Charlie and that I don't, I don't look at numbers and I don't, and I have more of a nurturing mother. But you wear the headphones, which is a masculine role in our relationship. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Oh, it's true. I do wear the headphones. You're watching the levels. I am. And often I wear the headphones and I'm watching levels and then the pot will listen back and it sounds horrible. Oh, I see. So you shouldn't have been doing that.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So I'm more playing pretend in my headphones and I'm like, who is watching them? No, it's not plugged in. No. We guys are also being audited. Right? Yeah. You guys aren't going well either. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:14 We're actually, you're actually taking on a sinking ship. Your debt is now ours. Yes. You told the agent that you don't fuck with taxes. No, we don't. That was sort of the first red flag. Right. I said that on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:27 That was my issue. This one, yeah. All this stuff you're saying is actually pretty scary to me. I know it's jokes, but then every time you're like, you're being audited. I was like. Do I go to you now? No, no. It's not.
Starting point is 00:06:39 We're not being audited. We're not being audited. If I'm ever audited, you guys will never see me again. Yeah. We're toast basically. At the black box. Right. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:06:49 We can't get on. The expenses alone. If we got audited, I think the auditor would give up. They would just be so annoyed with us not being able to find anything. I mean, I log into Citibank and they're like, we only got like 18 months of records. I'm like, okay, so what happens if they want to see shit from 2019? They're like, where were you then? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I can look on my phone. I obviously stole the money. That's what I was doing. How much do I owe to make you go away? You're looking at your camera roll. You're like, I went to a taco place in 2018. I guess. If that helps at all.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I didn't take a picture of the receipt, but maybe they still have it. It's not healthy to live in the past like that. So true. You under oath. I'm already worried about 2024 taxes and you guys are fucking bringing up old shit. Right. I look forward. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Speaking of looking forward, Henry Giles says, if you use this song, please wish my friend Patrick a happy birthday. I mean, this is just, he's giving us too much credit or kind of taking advantage of us. If it's possible, could you please use this song on the episode that will come out on February 13th because that will be as close to Patrick's birthday as possible. I guess no promises. We can't. We can't do that.
Starting point is 00:07:59 We can't do shit on Henry's timeline. After we record? It's being like fuckable. Move stuff around, I guess. We're here with guests. Is it possible to move your podcast up? Yeah, no, of course. Of course.
Starting point is 00:08:12 So you guys will have to record just to make. Yeah. By the way, it'll still be a birthday message. We're still saying happy birthday, but he just wants it to come out before. For the birthday. I guess so we can get absolved of giving him any other gift or something. Yeah. I think you can hold the boundary.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Okay. We will play the song, but we will do it on our timeline. Yes, yeah. And whether that's February 23rd or 3rd. By the way, I don't even know if February 13th is a Monday. Our episodes come out on Monday. I bet it is a Monday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Henry did the research. Okay. It's a Monday. Valentine's Day. I know that's a Monday. Yeah, because Valentine's Day is Tuesday. Wow. I'm very keyed in to love and the dynamics that love.
Starting point is 00:08:48 How do you know that Valentine's Day is a Tuesday? It's not a fun story. It's because I'm going to be. I was going to go to LA with Jill, but then she had. She got a meeting for Monday and she was like, but I'll fly out Tuesday. And I was like, okay. And then she was like, and I'll be there for Valentine's Day. So now I'm aware that she's coming to LA on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Love is so beautiful. I know. Love makes you know. So like the logistics of it. Yeah. There's no way that like the meeting had nothing to do with it, but somehow she's flying on Valentine's Day. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:18 It's just like. Oh my God. Which is actually so romantic. I'm getting on a plane. Oh my God. The meeting is like a date with another guy, but still it's romantic. Just that she makes time for both of us. And the flight is a Spirit Airlines flight with two layovers.
Starting point is 00:09:31 That'll get rained out in Dallas. Maybe the stewardess. I'm sorry. That's not the term anymore. Flight attendant. Like from the 50s. Yeah. Maybe the broad who brings the drinks will wear a little heart.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Smoking a cigarette. You could say stewardess. Yeah. Okay. Maybe the stewardess will wear a little heart flask. That's what I was going to say. It's cool. Well, this is like also your thing of like, like the way you really know you're in a
Starting point is 00:09:53 relationship is because that's you have someone to text when you like, like take off and land. Oh yeah. Yeah. And that's really like the relationship thing. And when you're not in a relationship, you either text no one or your mom. Yeah. That's Natalie's joke and idea. That's really.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Well. Board is taxi. Yeah. Why? Taking off. Yeah. My mom gets those texts and she's like, okay, let's be dating. You can just text her tomorrow and say where you are.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I made it. Right. Exactly. Right. We de-played. Yeah. Shut up. My back hurts.
Starting point is 00:10:30 All right. Go off. Waiting for my bag. They made me gate check. Exactly. I don't care. I love it. So this is if I were you, the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by Jake and I and usually
Starting point is 00:10:47 it's just me and Jake and today we have two very funny guests with us. We rarely have two guests. Yeah. I know. Well, I know. Yeah. Because well, I know the podcast, but also because when we came in, we're like, where should we sit and everybody was kind of like, well, we've never had two guests before.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And our studio is also shallow. Yeah. Yeah. People were pretty stumps on it. Yeah. We're at capacity. Yeah. But that's fine.
Starting point is 00:11:13 God forbid there's another guest. Right now. There's no way. We'd be toast. They'd have to be small and sit very like. Yeah. Or we could do laps. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Those microphones. Laps and laps. Yeah. Laps and laps. That's a cool idea for a podcast. It's an amazing party theme for a podcast. Yeah. No, that's right.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Podcast is a funny party theme too. For sure. Everyone's laughed and you're making a podcast the entire time. Yeah. Everyone's like talking. Everyone's doing a Squarespace ad. Yeah. It's like Harry's Razor's blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:11:44 This is also unprecedented. We got an email from somebody whose entire question is in the subject of the email. Oh. Usually like pontificate and wax poetic in the body of the email. It takes a long time to read. We got one succinct little question in one email subject. It's actually from a lady who we don't want to out, so we're going to give her a fake name.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Charlie, what should we refer to this lady as? Samantha. That's classic. Sam. That's too sweet. That's really good. All right. It came to me so easily.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It did. And it felt really right. I think you were channeling. I like my eyes go white. Samantha. Yeah. The question is, my boyfriend is probably addicted to weed. Is that bad?
Starting point is 00:12:28 Oh my God. Oh my God. Is that bad? Not bad. Yeah. I think not bad. Not bad. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Not bad. Addicted to weed. Addicted to weed. That's really good. That's actually incredible. That's a really good sign. That's amazing. Great.
Starting point is 00:12:44 It sounds like you bagged a chiller. Where's the problem? Are you guys weedsmins? Getting high like every day. Oh my God. You really did turn four. I'm a cop. Weedsmins.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Weedsmins. Weedsmins actually really knew. Really? So you might be like 17. Oh damn. That's dope. Do you pass the duchy pug on the left-hand side of Puff Puff Pastile? I do smoke, but like a little less lately.
Starting point is 00:13:13 But I also often worry that I'm addicted to weed. So I can talk to this girl. Basically don't leave him. He needs you. He's not crying. He's trying to stand. He's trying to stand. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Just because someone has a relationship with you. Yeah. You still think someone to text when it takes off, right? Yeah. I remember when I was in high school, potentially when you were two, it was all like, you actually can't get addicted to weed. I was about to ask. And that kind of changed a little bit.
Starting point is 00:13:44 But I, by the way, have had periods in my life where I'm like, maybe it's not like quote addicted, but it's like, I am doing this too much all the time every day. And that is maybe not amazing. We're getting into semantics, whether my body is chemically feeding forward or if I just literally want to do it all the time. Right, exactly. Well, dope people, like everyone reacts to weed differently, too. Like it makes me more anxious, so I don't really like it.
Starting point is 00:14:06 But there's a lot of anxious people who smoke and aren't anxious. Yeah. It costs them down. It's like somebody that I would want to be addicted to weed because they're addicted to being more normal. Right. Yeah. I kind of split the difference.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Be addicted to chilling the fuck out. Yeah. Are you addicted to just being cool? Yeah. I split the difference on that, and I'm anxious, and weed makes me more anxious, but then I still do it a lot. It's kind of a different way in between that. I'm like that too with like, coffee makes me more anxious, so I don't ever stop drinking
Starting point is 00:14:33 that. No, for sure. Yeah. I don't know. Every day, though, would you get high every day? I have, at times. Every day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Like my iPod stuck on replay. Yeah. Replay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay. Yeah. That should be your last joke. You should die. Do you guys know Ayaz? The song Ayaz?
Starting point is 00:14:51 It's called Replay. I have advice. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Whoa, this is also unprecedented. I just came up with the idea of like someone had a problem, like why not actually give a sort of... Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah. Right, right, right. I usually feel too uncomfortable to go for it. Yeah, of course. By the way, I'm going to overstep. All right. Well, it sounds like the problem is that you're not feeling connected when he's smoking. And so maybe you need to be a little bit either more involved in it or find a high activity
Starting point is 00:15:21 to do together. Oh, yeah. Get into a puzzle. It's like, is the problem that he's getting high all the time, or is that when he gets high, he's like watching commercial compilations on YouTube without you. His life is perfect. Your advice is to get high as much as if not more. Yeah, match up.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Match up. Right. Sounds like you're behind a little bit. But that's kind of it. I think every single problem... The problem is that you're not addicted to it. Right. All the problems that come into our show can be solved by communicating.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's... And like, that's exactly... Like, communicate, connect, find a way that the boyfriend can still smoke weed and you can be fine with it. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Maybe he's like... Like, it's like he needs his time to smoke weed alone. He also needs to smoke weed with Samantha as we've established. So maybe he needs to cut something else like school or like something else is taking up too much time. Totally. So quit his jobs. Arriving to work on time.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Right. I'm picturing him 15, by the way. Yeah. What about you guys? Let me just... I don't know how he's intaking this weed, but like if it's edible, you know, there's a difference between like, I come home and he's like sitting on the couch like ripping a bomb.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah. Right? Like the whole place smells or whatever. Right. But if he's just like, eats a gummy or something. Yeah. A little clasper. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah. I feel like there's a dynamic to where it's like my boyfriend is addicted to weed. It's like, okay, that's like a boy who's like, you know, what you're thinking. Like it's like, okay, well, he's not, he's not being a man. Right? Are we feeling that? He's a boyfriend. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I want him drinking a Scotch meat and yelling at the radio. Yeah. Okay. My boyfriend is addicted to weed. He's like, okay, well, he's not providing. Right. You know what I mean? He's playing video games.
Starting point is 00:17:04 No, exactly. Like he needs to be doing cocaine. Yeah. He needs to be going to work. Adult drugs. Yeah. I feel maybe there's a gender dynamic where it's like, if he had a high-powered job and weed was helping him maximize all of it.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Yeah, high-power. Right. Exactly. Yeah. He needs to be going to business meetings. Exactly. Coming home after several martinis. You need to be Don Draper.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah. You need to drive home drunk from the city. Yeah. To the car sale. So we saw, the two options are find a way to connect while he's high or have him develop a drinking problem. A drinking problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Right. Yeah. It's hard to be. It's hard to decide. Do alcohol and weed constantly at the same time. You sort of have to choose one lane. You need to pick a lane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Which is sad. It sucks. It's very sad. It's awful. There have been times in my life where I've really pushed up against that limitation. Oh, yeah. You've explored. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Getting both. Again, freshman year of college, I was like, let's see what we can do with this. People always say that it's like. Yeah. The other. You were a double major. Yeah. With a double major.
Starting point is 00:18:05 With a minor. Very boundary breaking. Charlie. And people really respected it. Of course. They're like, wow, you can really have it all, huh? Yeah. Where did you go to school?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah. Wow. Let's. Play that. Well, I went to, I'm just fine when you talk about how I went to Yale too. You didn't go to Yale. Well, not, I grew up in New Haven. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Like. Yeah. I feel like we both spent time in Yale campus. Yeah. What college were you in? Wait, whoa. Silliman. Silliman.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Very nice. You know what that one is? Yeah. Silliman. There's Trumbull. There's Danberry. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:41 What are those dorms? Yeah. I attended all of them. Oh. You went to those dorms? I went to. Not recently. Not recently.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I did. Yes. Yes. I actually think my mom went to Silliman. Really? Yeah. So you would go hang out there? No, as a college student, I had a job at Chapel Sweet Shop, which I think was not around
Starting point is 00:19:02 by the time you got there. No. I don't know about that. Ice cream store on Chapel Street though. Sounds amazing though. Yeah. Right near the Starbucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:10 It's an Amazon Fire Stick store now. So they just, it's an AI chat bot sort of selling you. Oh, that was there when I was, yeah. Yeah. Actually, it's even Saturday. It's, it was, they were never able to rent the space. So like another store down the street just has like mannequins with dresses in it. So the store itself is an advertisement to another store a block away.
Starting point is 00:19:29 The downtown area there can be kind of grammar actually. Yeah. It's, and they try to hide it too. Like the Patagonia store just closed and they just like boarded it up with like a picture of another store. Yeah, that's true. And they're just like, there wasn't anything here, it's here now, but just kind of relax about that.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yeah. Patagonia is going under. Are they really? I'm asking. Oh. They were too good to the environment. They need to adopt the Zara model. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 You actually weren't asking. You said it as a statement. Right. No, I remember that. But I thought, yeah, I don't know what I thought. That's awesome. You were testing. I was testing, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:07 You said a thing and you were like, I wonder if people are going to be like, right, that's what we know. I actually thought everyone was going to laugh hysterically. I didn't have to say anything. That's my expectation. And then you guys followed up and I was like, why is everyone looking at it? I was concerned because I liked Patagonia. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:22 All right. Let's take a break. Thanks to sponsors. Pay some taxes. We'll come back with more questions after these messages.

For years and years and years, we've been ranting and raving about Squarespace because it's the best way for dummies like me and potentially you that don't necessarily know how to code or design to create a professional looking website.

They have 24 seven live customer support, email campaigns, data. You can even purchase a domain name through Squarespace. For example, I didn't even look this up, but there's no way you can't buy a mere Blumenfeld is a good dude.com. I bet that's available and you can have it today and you can buy it through Squarespace and build an awesome website dedicated to me or I guess dedicated to anyone else in
Starting point is 00:22:41 your life. I'll give somebody a gift this season, a summer birthday coming up. Who doesn't want a website?

Let's launch it.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Just use that offer code if I were you to save 10% off that first purchase. Thank you, Squarespace. And we're back. Hey Natalie and or Charlie, do you guys have any? Oh it's a letter to the fire. I'm coming. I'm sorry about that. And you guys made that one.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I didn't know that was that actually was Mac DeMarco himself. Okay. Yeah. That was Adam. Yeah. Anything you guys, any wisdom you guys have to offer, we'll, I don't know, I mean, you went to Yale, you obviously have your shit together. Where did you go to school?
Starting point is 00:23:49 Northwestern. That's also really fucking good too. Jesus. Thanks guys. Damn it. I was hoping it would be like where Jake went to school or something. Where did I go to school? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Fucking Moravian or some small ass school in Pennsylvania. I never graduated. So it just dropped out. Yeah. Any unsolicited? Yeah. Well, this is something that's like kind of sincere, which is my advice is I recently stopped sleeping with my phone in my room and I got like a little alarm clock and it
Starting point is 00:24:17 actually is amazing because I really bad like impulse control. Always grabbing what you think your phone is and it's not there anymore. Exactly. And so instead of spending a lot of time scrolling in my alarm clock, kidding. Nah. It's impossible. That's a good joke. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Mine. Mine. No, I want it. Dips. Dips. Dips. Dips. Dips.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Dips. Dips. Dips. Dips. Let me try it right now. I'm scrolling in my alarm clock. The head gum happy hour tonight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Good opening. Well, maybe the best man wins. We race to get it out. So when do you where do you put your phone in then like how much time do you spend in your room before you pass out? I like put it in the living room, kind of before I go to bed. And then I like you know go to bed and I read like two pages of a book and then try to fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. Fitfully, for like an hour. phone and waking up must be better too because you're not instantly yeah and you know the thing is like I had such a hard time waking up because I'd be on my phone forever and now I wake up pretty easily because I want to check my phone I gotta get to that that's really smart you're just grabbing it you're like right 48 minutes of your day yeah exactly it's like really not it was really like I was late all the time and now it's an amazing incentive to get up
Starting point is 00:25:40 no phone in bed is a good yeah it's a good rule that I definitely will not do totally that's a really good rule yeah I sometimes do phone and laptop in bed that's really good and I've had yeah I've had a desktop watches both vibrating on your face I always think about like what my dog must think of like me just like walking around holding a brick just like walking at a candy bar yeah sitting down and look at my dog notices like he's so engaged we're like we'll play with each other you know throwing a ball whatever and then I start looking at my phone and he just like and I'm still throwing the
Starting point is 00:26:18 ball like I'm doing and he's like no you're not present like yeah he punishes me pretty yeah like where are you yeah okay so we can have eight minutes of fun yeah yeah okay is it that important what's going on on Instagram it always is Instagram it's not like I'm not like responding to anything interesting Natalie yeah okay my advice is I think like when you're like at dinner with someone and you're trying to figure out what to talk about it's good you should play a game oh I'm a big game person and I feel like you say you're a big game hunter yes that's shooting big animals right yeah I love
Starting point is 00:27:02 to shoot like a lion yeah like an elephant right Cecil the Ryan was you you run that trip yeah I killed Cecil and that's how I got this podcast and we what we do on the podcast is we talk about Cecil dying is that the one who Jimmy Kimmel cried about yeah that actually didn't work for no no he cried about that line okay yeah yeah he cried about both he cried about the sun that was like shout out yeah yeah yeah what's an example of a game you can play at dinner okay I like to play this game where it's like I'm gonna think of someone that we both know and then you play 20 questions to guess who it is oh it's fun
Starting point is 00:27:41 because it has some like gossipiness to it because they're like are they funny and you're like no I think yeah so that's kind of fun that's a great better than your shitty ass fucking yeah I read that in a promoted ad on under an article yeah I'm gonna put I'm gonna say this on the pop wait I'm gonna go back to that for a second because I did something where I bought a sun lamp you guys know yeah like gradually yeah it gradually like the sun rises if you set your alarm for like eight the sun from the lamp will start rising at like six or whatever and then you're supposed to like wake up and
Starting point is 00:28:25 then I started wearing an eye mask the sun gradually right as I do not see any of it and I wake up with my alarm clock shocked to be awake I did one my unsolicited advice one time was an eye mask because you wear one yeah I do it changed the way I sleep it's so yeah this is like my first week oh yeah so do you remember your first week I do I used to like get up and I just thought that I like oh you know I wake up and I have to pee in the middle of the night but I never actually do wait now literally that's exactly what I'm experiencing yeah anymore in the
Starting point is 00:29:02 middle of the night because you're wearing an eye mask well it turns out I was I thought I was being awoken by having to pee right yeah but I was like gonna be like okay I'm not drinking water after five like I was about to do me drastic yeah and then but then no it turns out it's like you're just kind of awake already yeah it's like the city is not somewhere right you wake up then you notice yeah yes that's definitely true okay literally that's such a slave for us and I wish you guys could connect you know yeah I'm not really an eye mask guy but maybe you have a picture month though you have a grind guard I love my
Starting point is 00:29:38 whole yeah I want to block every year yeah actually I've been doing breathe-right strips to not oh where are you gonna get tested for a deviated septum I did and I didn't get tested for that what they say my septum is not deviated whatsoever really the issue is my like open my nasal cavity valves or whatever like there's not a lot of opening yeah small and constricted so breathe-right strips is like a way of like expanding curtains does it work in theory it should but I have to practice nose breathing during the day so that I breathe through my nose at night because I breathe through my nose during the day
Starting point is 00:30:16 and then so at night I'm just like wait mouth open breathing wait I love when they're like it's like in theory it works it's like yeah yeah I don't breathe through my nose during the day no and so your mouth is open right now it's kind of like open slash talking slash I'm getting enough air yeah I'm like I'm a mouth breather that's correct and then when I try to like look around like sometimes that like like when we were at dinner last night are is anybody just sitting with their mouth closed just like this was anyone like an hour straight that's right I would die let me ask you knows correct breathers because that is
Starting point is 00:31:02 what you're supposed to do during a movie mouth closed the entire like two hours straight never like airing it out like there's no bad breath I actually don't know yeah I mean like maybe there's another thing you don't pay attention to tongue posture I found out recently I don't want to have it resting at the top of your mouth resting at the top how does that even work doesn't gravity lower your tongue to the bottom of your right resting at the top makes your mouth closed all the time but like they need to be maybe tongues are actually like helium filled that's a game changer my life is new now you're
Starting point is 00:31:48 supposed to have your mouth closed and to have your tongue resting at the top of your mouth I'm really scared to be thinking about what's the consequence try it because it feels right to be tongue on top mm-hmm it's just a better way to think there's that much room in there for it to be like a distinction between top and bottom I'm letting gravity do the work mouth open you know like what the consequences are for doing it wrong there's there's consequences to mouth-breathing yeah it's like snoring snoring and like poor sleep it's funny because it's like all these things that I don't have but like I maybe I'll
Starting point is 00:32:23 develop one day oh but you don't have any issues right now like gum disease because like you're constantly breathing out like air in and out of your gums shoot yeah and then at night like apnea because your mouth is open right you're not supposed to sleep well but I like sleep very deeply you're like a miracle they need to study you yeah but yeah breathe right strips like open it up and that's like I'm not gonna wear them all day and then practice nasal breathing during the day but I should maybe when I'm at home and then it convinces your brain that's like this is okay some people to teach themselves how
Starting point is 00:32:57 to breathe with their nose at night tape their mouth oh yeah I actually yeah exactly I actually saw tiktok that was like if you don't you don't even think your mouth breather tape your mouth shut and your life is about to become amazing I'm yeah I'm watching movies like a mouth open the whole time I bet yeah but you said that now and I'm like that sounds actually kind of right like I'm watching like rest oh my god actually can you breathe through your nose if your mouth is open I think it only exists when your mouth is closed no dude you don't know anything about the no can you like your tongue has to be closing it
Starting point is 00:33:45 you can't you can't have an open mouth valve and then you decide nose okay so keep your mouth at the bottom of your or keep your tongue at the bottom of your mouth so that your airway for your mouth is open and then try to breathe through your nose this is your pivot to cut off and then it goes through your nose as a second I'm sorry I was saying you were wrong no I like it I like to be wrong but we'll talk after the podcast all right enough about our noses and mouths most of your noses and my mouth yeah should we play your one of your games oh yeah you do it on dates is my question well it's fun when you know the
Starting point is 00:34:27 same people and I don't I wouldn't play a game on a date because that's like I'm like a first date but I wait to like kind of trap the games yeah but you do you do even simpler games like waiting in line for something you know it'll be like what number am I thinking yes my one of my friends and I during COVID like early early lockdown played a game over text that was what number am I thinking like four no 74 no I like this and you know yeah actually you play a game you like to guess people's birthdays yeah I'm a good birthday so why don't you try to guess okay is it astrological at all for you or I don't know anything about a
Starting point is 00:35:13 straw okay I'm strictly numbers scientific I think astrology is kind of a hoax but like my ability to nail down like sort of vibes that I'm getting okay absolutely real right he I've seen it get close many times I've ever actually gotten one so I didn't think I have until recently I went to a party and someone's like we met before cuz you bet guessed my birthday yeah and I'm like wow I bet you could guess a lot of things about that person then right if I already if I'm getting you know now the pressure is on yeah August 5th that's yeah I deserve a warm-up yeah you do you're like closest friends and family
Starting point is 00:36:03 and you're like almost right okay I'll start Natalie yeah obviously yeah what if I'm totally wrong what bad I'm nervous about like the shape you were just making well I'm just breathing I'm I'm sensing I know you're gonna get it right really yeah I can tell Jesus I don't know why I'm saying yes no no no you wouldn't I'm like going through the months over your head and I'm trying to see which one fits the best yeah you're gonna get it really no actually yeah it's sort of a long shot even getting the month I don't think it goes with me that well oh I see cuz like I was not having a summer vibe like you were not I was not okay you're

Starting point is 00:48:18 they are right now yeah that we could have picked up yeah yeah that puts the map we can tell you're going through something that's awesome that's cool that you hear that because I hear you turn 40 and then you start dying yeah like a living living living living right and then your body's like this is as far as we can get yeah you peek physically yeah you peek physically like more in your 30s yeah you've been on the decline for a few years yeah I mean I'm on the decline you know I have this idea okay that we were just talking about on our podcast that basically like something like when you're on a trip
Starting point is 00:48:51 it's like only fun once enough of the trip has already happened that you've made enough memories that it's like it could we had a good trip yeah and then you start enjoying yourself and the rest it's just like you're like okay now we can chill have fun and I feel like maybe that's the vibe too it's like okay you've lived enough life you've done it and now you're like okay this is just chill you don't have to wonder about like what it will be yeah you're like okay this is it yeah like you kind of settle in basically all of your good memories you've made already so now you have the rest of your life to kind of think about
Starting point is 00:49:20 how good the trip was right reminisce but it's actually not it's then that's when actually the trip happens and you because it's like on the airport on the way back you're like oh my god like remember the trip but then actually something really fun happens and like duty free I'm obsessed with when things are over it's like my favorite I love when things like already happened God bless you because you like to reflect on things because I just like I hate anticipation and while something's happening I honestly don't like it that much I love when things have already happened but that's all I've heard the
Starting point is 00:49:56 opposite where it's like the planning of the trip is more exciting than the trip itself I have holy shit it's the anticipation and we're planning and it's happening and then it's like we're at the airport and then it's like after that it's like yeah I'm the opposite like I'm all looking forward to a trip even like while I'm on the trip while I'm actively on the trip like we were in Italy this summer like riding bikes through Italy best thing you could be doing I was like we should go to Portugal we should go to Portugal it's true that like whatever happens in your brain when
Starting point is 00:50:34 you're riding a bike through Italy like if you can't reach Nirvana like that's your issue right whatever comes to you in that moment like it's much pressure oh my god to be on a trip and like you invested all of this time in it and then you're there and it's like it has to be perfect like I can't capture all of it I get it you're like we need to go to Portugal this is like when you get to a restaurant you're like this is the most exciting part of the day and then you leave and you're just like I feel right it's all about the waiting and the getting there yeah or the drive to Vegas and then the drive away or like to
Starting point is 00:51:11 completely opposite things yes the drive there when you drive with a group of people I'm sorry we had to get to know that's correct it's exciting moment and then the drive when you leave or like I'm never it's silent in the car like you know what I mean when you're like with like a group people you're going on like a friend trip and everything snacks whenever in the drive back everyone's like even the drivers texting into a wall they did that well in the the movie swingers if you guys have seen that baby Vegas and then on the way back to dead inside yeah during the day in 112 degrees out all right another question
Starting point is 00:51:46 right enough already mm-hmm we have to shut up I want to oh here we go kind of similar to the tax stuff this is a question from a dude oh so Natalie have a dude's name oh yeah Rick that's awesome Rick that's a good name Rick yeah although ultimately his name is Richard which is not a good name well we have a Richard that we love I love Richard back off ever call him Rick never have that yeah we roll it out yeah as we know Rick Fox yeah Ricky Van Veen yeah we know a Ricky are those friends or singers singers singers both both singers amazing singers must have bands each of those yes Ricky Fox and Ricky
Starting point is 00:52:37 Van Veen yeah that's exactly right Ricky Fox I haven't heard this kind of question asked before so I figured I'd throw it at your way for some input I'm a 34 year old guy in the Northeast okay all right happily married with a baby well together 34 my god what should I do when I see my friends and family members continue to make poor financial decisions I don't have an I sorry I have an intense interest in personal finance with the goal of retiring early so I'm helping my parents with their retirement as well and during a meeting with a certified financial planner he literally told them you don't have to pay me to do
Starting point is 00:53:19 anything just listen to your son how cool this question I'm not so humble it's like in fact I quit my job and your son will do it for me unless he's already retired anyway I don't need your advice how come other people suck the principles are simple but few people have the diligence to see them through you have to work out just like in a gym save and invest you absolutely have cheat days splurge purchases but if you do that all the time you're not really making progress towards your goal and can end up putting on extra pounds aka debt he's comparing it to like wow personal physique which how can I help
Starting point is 00:53:59 with their financial fitness without coming off as an asshole thanks love Rick this sounds like it was from Rick yeah this is a major Rick energy this guy is not sitting right with me I'll be real with you Patrick Bateman to me I'm like a weight loss analogy is like one of the worst things you could choose because it's like fuck that yeah I mean he's like why can't you just not eat and like work out in the morning it's like because it's horrible like it's fun to spend money right more than you have totally so his question is not how do I be financially literally how do I give financial advice advice on giving advice
Starting point is 00:54:37 kind of one thing I would say is that anything can happen and that any kind of horrible financial misfortune can befall anyone and maybe he needs to actually learn from people who are in worse situations than him because you never know wow he could lose his job into horrible car accidents where everything's fine physically but financially very bad and then he's gonna be like oh I have this all planned out but now my life isn't going that way he's actually a little bit out to sea yes and he's gonna then be reaching out to those people who are in that kind of situation so I think really nice story
Starting point is 00:55:12 slash tail mm-hmm but it'll never happen this way this guy is too controlled he's dreaded to he'll never he's hot right doesn't say if he's 6'4 I think he's 6'5 because he used to play college football oh tight end tight end when a man and I'm sorry but get ready when a man talks about diligence it's like go away you gotta go away because you're being weird and you're freaking me out like when men are like use your mind power to just be disciplined it's like well you're gonna build a bomb and you're gonna do something weird yeah I mean yeah I do think diligence is a weirder word than
Starting point is 00:56:01 willpower power feels like the capacity to suffer diligence is like I do the same thing every day yes like that makes me feel kind of uneasy for a 34 year old to say the word diligence is is odd totally he's in the northeast he's happily married in the northeast red flag it's interesting the mentality of like he has it all together and he wants to what force that on other people that's right he wants he's already doing it with his parents isn't that enough yeah no he wants to help others he wants to help he wants to see his people struggling with finance I think oh oh no please no please no please I just feel
Starting point is 00:56:55 all of it for all these questions it needs a woman's touch so I think that he needs to be more empathetic if you want to help if you want to help you know you can't be such a weird guy yeah I think it I think helping should come from a place of like not you're doing it wrong but basically like I am open for business I my finances are looking good I'm really confident this if anybody needs help come to me yeah so like all of your help should be incoming not I just noticed that you do you least uh you least an Audi yeah car loan situation yeah blah blah blah yeah so don't like inject yourself where people
Starting point is 00:57:36 because other people might think they have it under control and there's nothing more frustrating than being like I got this and somebody else coming and be like you're doing it all wrong like you can't actually control other people and like and this is a guy who clearly wants to control everything he wants to control all the things in his life and it's like you have to let some of that go yeah and other people you other people and by the way it's like some people make a calculated decision they're like I don't want to save money I don't know what's gonna happen in the future I want to buy $400 pants I'm
Starting point is 00:58:02 gonna do it now yeah and it's a value system and you have to respect that and if also I've seen people like that buy expensive clothes and I'm like oh I think that might be done but then they like sell they sell them yeah people buy and trade where people see oh you're wearing $400 pants do you want to be on TV or something like that yeah this is the only pair of pants I need for a year well I buy $76 pants from Abercrombie and Fitch every two and a half weeks and that's not a better way to do it's not better or worse it's worse I think you should just go right there where they always are
Starting point is 00:58:38 you can buy clothes for $9 you can and you just throw them away I think if you everyone everyone doing something that you think is done financially is born rich and that will that will like curb your right you know you're itch to talk to them yeah yeah like oh my god what are they doing oh they have a trust fund right that's probably fine yeah maybe this guy needs that thing like you know when like the school psychologist is like knows that kids won't want to talk to them so they like have like a bowl of candy and like soda yeah like maybe he needs just like a hang zone get a beanbag like bubblegum machine yeah get
Starting point is 00:59:22 like a little Nintendo that's behind a plexiglass wall controller sticking out yeah yeah play with gloves yeah it's what they have at the orthodontist a treasure trunk with toys you should give his friends and family like a thousand dollars each he should just be oh yeah that's for security yeah exactly but there's some strings I have to write this off my taxes as a gift donation right exactly I mean some people are born rich but it sounds like this guy's born Rick come on I'm serious that wasn't even a joke it wasn't funny

Starting point is 01:05:54 is one that I actually want to share because it's feeling important to me mm-hmm I've been bringing up a lot but I have this idea that bangs only exists in the future and the past and whenever you see someone wearing bangs like they're actually a memory of themselves or like a flash forward because bangs really only exists to show the passage of time unless someone has bangs their whole life this is bombing only silent because I'm really it's like a stunning idea right I'm I'm floored I don't think I'm smart enough to understand what you just said okay that's fine she watched everything everywhere all at once I was thinking
Starting point is 01:06:38 about one which is like the thing of when you have a group of people who are sitting down at a table and like the quiet implicit like negotiation of where everybody sits and like that moment wait and yeah and your thing with that is like when you hang back yeah wait what was it okay I had this experience a few weeks ago at a birthday where I was like as I'm walking there I'm like I know I'm gonna sit next to this person like this person's bringing their significant other and I'm gonna sit next to them and that's not what I want to like do I get there early so I can like stake out right that's the kind of or is
Starting point is 01:07:16 that like leaving me vulnerable that you like have some option but not so much that those options window because if you go too early you lose the controls like musical chairs I want some settling I sat down next to one person on my right that I wanted right but everyone pushed all the way like kind of leaving the other half of the table open so it was like whoever comes next I know I'm sitting next to so I'm just like well yeah I hope I had something I knew and I ended up um I was the one yeah we were supposed to want to sit next to Emma but then when she arrived yeah no offense you don't care you don't care right she
