Starting point is 00:01:28 Hey, it's me, Jessica. How are you guys? I like your spirit fingers there. Thank you. Are we all doing that? It's me, Charlotte. Wow. Yeah, and who could forget? Elise. Wow. Yeah, and who could forget at least wow This to pet this amazing Elise and I'm Barbara Happy International Women's Day everyone Yep, I'm doing the wave. This is a beautiful Women's only RT podcast come and lie that you from Austin and Los Angeles, the home of the
Starting point is 00:02:10 rooster cheese company. Well, I thought it was a really long day. That was really good. I knew long day already. You're watching Turn It Off. Yeah, women here. Women turn it up. Turn it up, ladies. Fellas, you can stay. Yeah, Barb, you are right. We are coming, you know, it's two and two from Austin and Ellie today.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I literally just had that save thought. That's true and true. How does it feel to be done with the RT podcast? You guys will be done with it at what is it? Like five o'clock your time, you have the whole night ahead of you. We'll be done at seven o'clock. We're ready for bed at that time. Why does it record at this time?
Starting point is 00:02:53 I'll probably sit down and listen back to the record. Make sure you're sitting there. Okay. Just your own audio. Just your own audio. Yeah, you know, just like figure out whoops. I don't know. I that was a poorly ill thought out bet.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And I apologize to every. Is this is this what you guys like after? So because it does end at five, do you guys still have stuff to do? Or you're just like, I'm done with work. No, I have stuff to do. Okay. Yeah, I'll use our stuff to do.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Oh, so Charlotte, a woman's work never ends. Cute woman's work Which is a great song. Did you see that burger king tweet? Oh? My god, yes, I did and I thought what's up with that wait is it The way they tweeted they tweeted women belong in the kitchen and then replied to it and yet only 20% of chefs are women and it's What the I don't bad tweet. Yeah, always so shocked when I see big brands, for example, Burger King, tweet out things that I don't know how it got past anybody. Like I don't I can't see a group of people being like, Oh, yeah, this is great. This is a great campaign to launch on
Starting point is 00:04:02 Women's Day. And like a great tweet to put out just by itself, because no one will take that out of context. It was, and no one will not click into their pie. Yeah, that's nice. Yes, it was a bad approach, because I think we would, I get why they were doing the click, Beatty. We'll flip the expectations,
Starting point is 00:04:18 turn this joke on its head, but they should have just, on a day where women are just trying to feel welcome. Maybe you just kill some of the, you know, the snark and the human. Just lead with the earnest, you know, and to, like add to it, it was Burger King, UK. And the whole like Megan Markle interview just came out yesterday and we're already feeling weird, you know, about things anyway. So I'm like, come on. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like just any social media
Starting point is 00:04:50 team should have like a filter of people to put things through just to make sure that things are in good conscious and in good, what's the word I'm looking for? Just like that people won't take it out of context or take it in the wrong way. Because there are so many things you could say or not say that will just really make you miss the mark on it. Because it's not funny anymore. Yeah. No, it's not. It's not up to Burger King to reclaim that. I'm not going to be satisfiedline it's not like take it back. Take it back. Take it back. I mean, I'm not going to be satisfied until it's burger clean. Am I right, ladies?
Starting point is 00:05:29 That's it. I will say it gave me a lot of I want to eat a waffle her. It did. It gave me a good chance to make a lore of the rings reference because then I in response tweeted out the the age It did love it. It gave me a good chance to make Laura the Ring's reference, because then I in response tweeted out the age of the Burger King is over, the time of the Burger Queen is here. There you go. Which is the Laura the Ring's,
Starting point is 00:05:56 the age of men is over, the time of the work is here. So I guess I was treating them from the perspective of the bad guys. Maybe meets back on the menu girls. Oh, okay. I'm trying to hear, okay. Let me talk about the women you. The women back on the kitchen boys. So I feel like I probably shouldn't show this
Starting point is 00:06:18 because of the heat that they're taking, but I used to work at Burger King. Whoa, that's right. That's right. That's right, work at Burger King. Whoa, that's amazing. Right there. Oh my gosh. Yeah, you're complicit. You're complicit.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Yeah, you're complete. You are responsible for this. What are the ads for behind you? What is the ad for behind you? I was trying to figure out if it was like a movie campaign or something. It doesn't ever. It was a free-king ad-
Starting point is 00:06:45 The Ganga. What does that say? The clash of the Titans. I think it says Amazon.ca. Yeah, it says Amazon.ca. Got it, got it, got it. So I mean, Burger King should have ran their tweet by me, you know, being affiliated and stuff like that. I would have, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:04 all this, all, everything could have been solved if they just ran it by someone and I'm shocked. I think the crazy thing is like, I think they did. And, you know, like, I think these people, like, sometimes do you ever watch like a commercial or yeah, a tweet, whatever it is? And you're like, they actually ran that by a marketing team and like all these other people and no one said shit. Or maybe someone did say something but they just chose not to listen to them or something. And I'm like, how did this get put on the air? How did this get out there? And it's just mind boggling because not to say that like, I'm, oh, I know
Starting point is 00:07:40 better. I'm smarter than these people who are professionals and have skill skill set in these, you know, jobs, but I'm like, that's, it doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah. I think the important detail is that they don't have to be smart to get those jobs. Yeah. I think it's a lot of luck. Yeah. Sorry, Madison Avenue. I'm coming for you. Okay. Well, Tio, Tio, because once again, here is Elise Williams coming into defend big brands. All right, I'm going. All right. I'm just going to say, and I think this might be an unpopular take, because a lot of people like to get on the side of saying, well, you know, these brands, they try to be cheeky and
Starting point is 00:08:20 fun on Twitter, but that's just corporations trying to endure themselves. But I will say this, there is still a human being that is operating that Twitter account and that's their job day in day out. And they didn't sponsor this podcast and they're not affiliated, but I will say the person that runs the genre no Twitter, I genuinely think somebody that is just trying to bring a little bit of, it's their job, just like doing a podcast, this is our job, but I do think they're also a good person that's just trying to bring a little bit of joy.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Like they happen to have a job that does mean that they are the voice of a brand, but they're also, from what I can tell, just from interacting with them, kind of seem like a cool, decent person. Yeah. And there's a, because there's a human behind that. You know?
Starting point is 00:09:04 Like, something I like about some brands like DeGiorjorno and even I think Moon Pie has a really great Twitter account too is that I mean if you're running a brand social media account that could be a pretty boring stale job and Yeah, there's a lot of people who really add a lot of personality to these accounts and make them really interesting and fun I think I would be not surprised at all if the person running the Giordano Twitter account was actually someone who worked at Worcester Teeth. Just based off how much they know about our tea. Right now. Sure, what a tea. Click, click, click.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Bruce? I know he's not here now. I'll say, I block every single brand that comes across my timeline. I'm not here now. I'll say, I block every single brand that comes across my timeline. I just, I don't have anything against the people on the account. I've worked in social, I get it, I'm hip to it, and I am hip and I am cool when everyone says it before saying, but no, my block, block the list is, I won't say details in case there's any sponsorships on the horizon. But it's all brands.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Charlotte, are you goofing? Are you serious? What's up? Are you serious? Yeah. I don't want brands up in my shit. So, okay, don't start brand Twitter. So like, so when you say that, Charlotte, got it.
Starting point is 00:10:22 It's not that you're following them. It's more that like whenever the sponsor Okay, that's oh yeah, that I've got some because it's annoying too It'll happen sometimes though. We're like I'll get a sponsor thing for like anything like Disney I'll be like get out of here Walt or Mortimer or whatever he did a couple years ago Yeah, kind of fucked off. And then, but it'll get, like a tweet of theirs will get meamed and it'll just get, like,
Starting point is 00:10:50 thrown around all day and it could be about like Star Wars or something. And it's just like this tweet cannot be displayed. And I'm like, I wonder what they're talking about. It's like, slightly at my own expense, but, you know, what you're gonna do. Yeah. Oh, man, I just, it's so crazy to me that they just missed the mark that much. I feel like every single holiday or international day of some sort, for example, International Women's Day,
Starting point is 00:11:17 I'm always anticipating there being a person or a brand that just has a really bad take on something. And for that to be the focus of it, and it's a shame because we should be focusing on celebrating that day and celebrating what that day is about. And I don't know, I feel like that kind of stuff just takes away the attention. So let's talk about women and being wonderful.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Cause there are so many goddamn fucking women who I just love so damn much at this company and just in this industry and the world and I'm so happy that you all are here with me today for the IT Podcast. Thank you. I remember. Thank you so much for inviting me. Of course. This is your first one, right? Yeah, yes. Long time caller. Yes. I just want my hand. You did Block Rister's teeth on Twitter. Yeah, everybody and your brand block who said I was cutting off my nose despite my face
Starting point is 00:12:13 There are I think this might have been at the this was like a couple years ago at RTX at the um The women's panel. I think it was where somebody asked a really great question and I'm gonna get it wrong But I thought it asked a really great question, and I'm going to get it wrong, but I thought it was a really great question that I would love us to answer. They asked like, what makes you feel, what was it? Hold on. What makes you feel like most feminine or most in touch with your feminine side, or something along those lines? And I know like a couple of people said, you know, whether it's like self-care, you know, like taking a bubble bath and putting like, cucumbers on my eyes and all that.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And it's so strange because like, I remember thinking to myself and I was asked that question that I, I've never really been good at being like feminine in any way. I didn't really grow up with with having a lot of really good girlfriends because girls scare the shit out of me. So I was also bullied by them. So that was kind of difficult, but I feel most powerful when I am around other women. Drunken the bathroom. Yeah, you know. I know it silly, but it really is just like the best moments
Starting point is 00:13:26 when yeah, you're drunken. You're like, you are so beautiful. You're the shit girl. You're just like, yes, you just hype each other up. Yeah, but I really do. Like I feel more powerful, more in touch with that side when I am just with like the other ladies and we're just being awesome.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Cause you're not to, not to like, oh women, you know, that paint their nails and stuff, that not to like say anything bad about that, that's awesome. I just for me, I just love being in the presence of like other women, I feel even more powerful. Yeah, we're definitely like concocting diabolical plans.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, yeah, making some diaristia. Picking up school buses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Making some diverse issues. Making up school buses. Yeah, I love that too, especially when you, because I'm kind of like you just where I did get bully a lot. And so I, you know, sometimes still, you still have that reaction of like, am I gonna get, and you can be a third amid thirties, you know, a woman in your mid thirties and still feel that.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I feel like it never really goes away. But I feel that, I also just, for me, it's like a big part of looking and feeling, when my skin is, this is so superficial, but I feel more feminine when my skin is clear. Like, cause it's hard to see on my pixelated camera, but I have like two hot, cystic pimples. You are too hot.
Starting point is 00:14:47 You are too hot. You are too hot. You are too hot. You are too hot. I was gonna... No, you're gonna have to do it. You know when you get pimples on the side of your nose, they're cystic and then your nose feels thick.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. Like, I just woke up today with a bunch of cystic under my skin, but when my skin feels clear, I'm like, I'm fresh. I feel pretty and I feel like I can put on makeup and the makeup will look smooth and I will feel pretty. Oh yeah. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah, I mean, it's a whole, if that's more than one podcast, I think for a trans woman. I think to be honest, it's a pretty big subject, but I think this might sound like a cop out, but I'm gonna say all of it because all of it because for my whole life, it's just like shame associated with feminine and wanting to present us such and embody such. So I love it.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I love dressing up, I love earrings, I love doing my makeup, and now I'm trying to get more opportunities to go outside. It's mostly just in parks these days, of course. But yeah, I had to boil it down to one. It was like getting my hair done last fall. And I got like bangs for the first time, which was like, fucking cool. And because, you know, for years, like I knew about myself,
Starting point is 00:15:59 but it was a long process of like mental gymnastics and coming out to people and and making myself okay with who I was. So it was a lot of like cl mental gymnastics and coming out to people and making myself okay with who I was. So it was a lot of like clandestine thing, like painting my nails and like a cute top that is kind of, I guess, femme of center sure, but it's kind of just like androgynous.
Starting point is 00:16:18 And so like, it feels good to just like unabashedly just be like, yeah, here it is. This is just it. I'm not like wearing just enough makeup that you can't tell. I'm just wearing it. And it feels so cool and gratifying. Well, you have such incredible style and your makeup is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I feel like I need to sit down. You need to teach me some things because I've been doing this my whole life and you have mastered it so quickly and it's so gorgeous. I know it's three things and I just thought. We were talking before that you're outfit today's fire and you always look so stylish and you make Lindsay and I look like gargoyles. Yeah, it's kind of like a pencil skirt.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, I love it. I love it. The fall that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that say I as much as I would love to every day. Okay. I'd say four to five days, you're looking cute. You have like an outfit on that I'm like, Oh, that is a post quarantine outfit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I'm like, well, that's because I'm, I'm very gradually cycling out my whole wardrobe during quarantine. So it's been a lot of trips to goodwill and like using threat up and like, I'm like, I got, because I opened my closet and I was like this all has to go. We have to swap out everything. Oh, that's me once a year. I get a Jessica knows this because she's at the office here in Austin but at least once a year I'll come to the office with multiple trash bags of clothes that I no longer wear that I'm like I'm going to take this to goodwill I'm gonna donate it so if anybody wants anything before I take it to goodwill, please go ahead and it's like
Starting point is 00:18:10 Here's some essentially free shopping for everyone. I was I was at the office once I was in Austin once when Barb did her like here's my stuff and I like I Got a few things and like one of the dresses is my like of my I got a few things and like one of the dresses is my like of my Handful of like nice dresses I have. I'm like this is good because it's also very comfortable It's got like short sleeves and it's not like tight anywhere and I feel comfortable wearing it so yeah I'm so glad that I see it happy I got to get down there and and hope and just pray it's one of those days
Starting point is 00:18:42 get down there and hope and just pray. It's one of those days. Once we're able to travel again and you guys could come visit us in Austin again, which I hope is soon rather than later, because we miss you terribly. Yeah. I like something that I miss so much and kind of talking back about the topic of femininity and what makes me feel feminine and girly, but like just spending time with my lady friends
Starting point is 00:19:02 going to brunch,, doing all this stuff that makes me feel more connected. And I guess it's just such a comfortable setting, but when you guys come down, we're going to brunch, we're getting shit-faced on the moses. And then we're gonna go shopping because Charlotte needs to help me pick some clothes out. I need some boots.
Starting point is 00:19:23 So, we need some boots. There we go. We need some boots. So, I need some boots. There we go. Needs some boots. Wait, what kind of like cowboy boots? Big boots, girls. Okay. Okay. I mean, I could fuck with some cowboy boots, although I think I need kind of a more like
Starting point is 00:19:36 understated black talk. Okay. So, many boots, so I could see in like a, like especially the skirt you're wearing now like a white cowboy boot too. Yeah. I think I look really good. That would be great. Or I could just wear like Jim Sox and Mockison slippers.
Starting point is 00:19:53 That's true. That's all I could. We're just walking around Texas. Yeah. And we're like my good sweatpants today. Nice. Oh, they're you good. When I was in high school, I wore a lot of sweatpants because I was pretty athletic, so I was
Starting point is 00:20:08 always like, you know, had some type of practice or I just kind of how I was. And one of my best friends, Neil, we called each other Nellis and Ellis for nicknames for each other. And he would always comment on how, some days I would be wearing my good sweatpants, my dressy sweatpants. What comes to T, my dressy sweat pants. And what constitutes dressy sweat pants? I was also wondering that. That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:20:31 What does constitutes? I think it's a little bit serious. I say no more, I can see it. These are like, they're not like your typical sweat suit. It's like a sweater material almost. Oh, yeah. They're fitted. So there's a good Oh, those are nice.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Gameplay's about fancy after this. Are they tapered at the end? I might go to the patio or like, yeah, big day. I should try that they're just more like fitted throughout, I would say. Okay, and I'm taking notes and like but one thing you do have to know is like skinny jeans are out.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Okay, that whole thing is like skinny jeans are out. Um, okay. That whole thing is yeah. Like center heart at least. I see you. I'm I'm like, this is like, it's like, what we're, yeah, what Gen Z is determining to be kind of out of style now and all my nails are just like, but this is what I grew up wearing. It's what do I do now? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:44 No, not yet. Oh, you think we talked about this with Gus and Kat. Hey guys, so skinny jeans are out. I don't know if you heard. Well, the way you part your out. Yeah, I legitimately like don't know then what, what do I wear? Jinca's these are just like the baggy, you're kind of like mom jeans.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I think is what they're called. Yeah, like a boyfriend cut. Yeah, wide like crop. Those always feel like I'm swimming in those though. I feel like I should be painting something. I think it's like whatever, whatever works for your body and your style and like whatever you want to wear. I'll say it. I'll say it. Just fuck them kids. Fuck them. No, they aren't talking about soundbite. They're just not support the opinions. That's how I let it go. Charlotte is a rogue performer.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I'm not talking about show. I'm not talking about show. No, I think they're cool and teenagers intimidate me and I cross the street when they're coming the same way as me. No, Charlotte, we literally, I think this might have been in a previous podcast where I told Barb that a lot of the like, you know, when I'm randomly going through TikTok, there's like these younger girls, like teenagers that are showing me like hacks with my makeup and
Starting point is 00:23:56 just know more things in general than I do now. And they are a fine dude. When Jess and I are like, oh, we're scared of girls. We're not scared of like women our own age. We're scared of teenagers that are gonna feed us. Oh, yeah. Well, it's crazy because like in high school, I knew I wasn't popular and I was constantly worried
Starting point is 00:24:14 about what people were thinking about me. And somehow I'm now 31 and I'm still concerned about what 16 year old girls think. Yeah, we do a job where we literally are like, could it critique us? Yeah, yeah, let us know below what you think about us as people. Yeah, it's like we should not be doing this job.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Should not be doing it at all. And can I just say I watched the movie Moxie the other day, the new Amy Polar joined on Netflix. I can't wait to watch that. And the cast is all teenagers or it's about teenagers. And I watched for a single, like I don't think I saw a single pair of skinny jeans in that whole movie.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Oh my God. I'm disgusting. Oh no. Well, it's not only the fashion, it's not only skinny jeans, but apparently now, middle parts are the only way that you can wear your hair to. Like you can't do a side part anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Side parts are old. Get old and program. If I do a center part, oh, like Wednesday Adams. I just don't wanna see it. I feel very similar with my center part. I'm not gonna touch it. It's not great.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I was like, no, your hair's perfect. It doesn't always sit like this. I'm just gonna show you I can be spooky. Cause like, Charles, you have a natural part, cause like I don't, so I have to train my hair to part in different ways. And I also don't have, I don't have a great part because I don't, so I have to train my hair to part in different ways. And I also don't have, I don't have a great hairline, which is why I'm not doing the center part
Starting point is 00:25:30 because I'm cool. It's really just to mask a bad hairline. Well, I think, you know, masking insecurities is a big thing with Gen Z just like it was for millennials. Oh, thank God. I think you're good. I think you're on the money.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah, I think we need human. I have a natural part and and I used to for a while I was partying it the other way when I had short hair, short hair. For volume. And for volume. Well, it didn't look great. It just, I was fighting with it and then one day I flipped my hair over and it looked a hundred times better. Okay, I got it. I'll stop trying to go against nature. Yeah, never had bad hair. Stop. Just put that out there. I mean, yeah, you know what, bar pocket. Just, just fuck it. That's cool. I don't know what's going on, but the older I get, the furler up these little guys go.
Starting point is 00:26:18 That's the one I have for. Yeah, that's why I'm like, of course, the center part. That'll hide the nice. That's why I do the beanie most days. We love the beanie. We love a beanie. Love a good beanie. And also to hide the fact that we haven't washed our hair in days.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So yeah, I've noticed more and more that I have some pretty gross habits. Like the longer quarantine goes on, the longer this pandemic goes on, I'm like, man, I'm just like truly deep down, a really gross habits. Like the longer quarantine goes on, the longer this pandemic goes on, I'm like, man, I'm just like truly deep down, a really gross person. Like if I'm not on camera, I just won't shower for days. Yeah. I feel so bad for sure. I literally thought the same thing.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Like, you know, like if Devon's just like, oh, sexy time, I'm like, I haven't shared it in three days. So we need to figure that out. It will, sexy time. I'm like, I haven't shared it in three days. So we need to figure that out. It will be a time. Yeah. It will be a special time. It's always fun because Trevor's the sweetest. I'll definitely notice when he's like,
Starting point is 00:27:16 oh, we have a nice day off to relax. Maybe you could take a nice warm shower to relax. I was like, nah, I'm not gonna sit on the couch and my pajamas live in a room for three days. Good for the attack, though. Like at least suggestion of like, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here. Yeah, I told Jess this,
Starting point is 00:27:38 but like I stopped eating sweets recently because I'm trying to not fart as much. And so I do think that sugar is like really a big catalyst for me in that department. And then a friend of mine recently had the observation of when we get back to quarantine, she was like, are there gonna be lots of people unintentionally farting because they got used to just like being out
Starting point is 00:28:03 and being in their own homes farting all over the place and now they're back in the world and they've lost that inner valve that's like don't just fart blatantly. I don't have a mute button anymore. Right. When I'm right. Toggle, toggle, toggle.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Yeah. No, that is a valid. I did that today and the fun has meeting. I do it at least every day. Once a day. In any recording that I'm in, I have literally on my thing that I could just press if I fart.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Have you ever guys that's fantastic. That is a valid concern because there are certain things that I feel like, yeah, we've gotten used to in the past year that I'm like, I would, it would be frowned upon if I did some of the things that I do alone in. Yeah, absolutely. They were before Jessica. if I did some of the things that I do alone in the public. Like what Jessica? Why is frowning happening? Getting a pint.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah, no, but my, um, is that the grocery store with my mom? Uh, I think this past maybe a couple months ago, and there was an older woman right in front of us who just let the loudest Fargo. And it was long and loud. And just like right there, you know, in the aisle. And we were right next to her. And my mom made like a scene out of it. And she's like, oh my god. And she made a big deal. I was like, mom, like, she farted because she just doesn't give a fuck anymore. Yeah. Yeah. There just comes a point where it's like, you just don't care. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Like, it's so interesting to me that humans care about certain things like that so much. Like, we've been doing this for the entirety of our existence. Yeah. And yet farting is still so like shocking and taboo, and someone does it in public. It's like, this is literally something everyone does every day. I mean, people were stinky. I mean, three or 400 years ago, they were just throwing shit out the windows into the streets.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Absolutely. Do you think they like throw like feces? Yeah, they throw it out the window and it smells bad. And then they turn around and fart and someone's like, that's disgusting. You can't be doing that. Did you gloss today? That's what it is. And if it's a woman, they give her a lobotomy.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So I think we're here to change minds, chance perspective, and that's what International Women's Day is all about. Anything can happen on International Women's Day. I've always said that. I've always said that. I've always said that. For the last couple of years, I've always said that. I've always said that. I've always said that. I've always said that. I've always said that. For the last three years, the day has been recognized. I've always said that. Anything can happen.
Starting point is 00:30:30 We don't know the day can go. You know, we were doing last International Women's Day. I mean, not on the day, but before we were we were all together taking photos of a bunch of new merch we were releasing. And we were just at a bowling alley hanging out drinking beer, eating food together, you know, breathing each other's air freely. Well, Jess, you weren't there. But yeah, I was also not there. Charlotte was also not there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 The department I'm really interested in. Jess, if you want to hang out last year, I wasn't bowling. So. Well, we got to change that next year. I think we should just have a big blow up photo shoot. Fun times. Go bowling again. Look each other's faces. Why not? You know, I know. I can't believe it's going to be there. I dare. I dare one of you to, if we're going to start, if we're going to make change, you know, us on this day, like you said, Elise, if we're going to start, if we're going to make change, you know, us on this day, like you said, Elise, if we're going to start some change, um, one of us or all of us in our next meeting.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Has the farthest podcast. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're getting it. Yep. Yeah. And three, two.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I just think a little bit more of this coffee in that way. Disquease my mid-drift. Yeah. But like, you know, we're just like, literally, as you guys were talking about, that was just thinking, we were just in a giant meeting, you know, with very important people in the meeting as well. And someone just like lets one rip. It's like the, and we want to get used to it.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I feel like I, for me, because I have such image or humor, I would still like laugh. And then we'd move on with the meeting, you know, it's like, maybe we all have a moment of laughter and then we just proceed like, huh, first. I think I would get a talk. I would get contacted by HR after I would get to talk to James. I think you would only get contacted by HR if they were like, it's like on a scale. Like if they were that bad, then that's when you should know you need to suck it in and save it.
Starting point is 00:32:28 But if it's just like in a good like, this is acceptable. Well, limit. I feel like the kind of what we're talking about right now is the loud ones, but we need to accept that they can be smelly. And if if we're out of quarantine, we're all in a meeting, that's a different, that is a horse of a different color. That is very true. You have a real stinker go off in the all hands.
Starting point is 00:32:49 You know, I'm gonna miss, I miss people so much that I feel like I would enjoy the smell of someone else's fart after a year of only me in Trevor's Farts forever and always, I feel like that's gonna be, no pun intended, a breath of fresh air. Okay, okay. Literally. All right. Charlotte, I meant to some things, okay?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Don't judge me. I'm not judging. I'll be right next to you. Just breathing. Breathing. Breathing. Breathing. Speaking of breathing and other people's hearts, like, you know, fair
Starting point is 00:33:21 moans and all that stuff. Do you find yourselves not necessarily liking your partners' farts, but just like, you know, you know, you know, you try to say like you enjoy their smells, but do you also enjoy their farts because you're attracted to them? Or is it just like farts or farts they smell no matter how attracted I am to you. I have my teeth clenched right now to keep myself from gagging. I don't know if it's hurt. I don't know if I've ever enjoyed someone else's fart but I do I love the smell of Trevor's breath and that's the closest thing I could think of is just like his pheromones his breath like everything. Yeah. I enjoy the smell of. And I don't know if that's like some chemical reaction
Starting point is 00:34:09 or interaction or something, whereas you just like that. But I don't enjoy as much. There's something I want to tell, but I think I'm going to gag as I'm telling it. Do you want to whisper it to me and I'll say it? Yeah, here. We'll tell everyone who's watching the podcast of Stoplosting, guys, Stoplosting.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah, everybody's stoplosting. It may take me a minute. Barb, do you remember a show from the 90s in Canada called John O'Vision that was like a talk show for teenagers hosted by Jonathan Torrance? That sounds so familiar, but I can't picture it in my head. It is a really interesting time capsule show, but there was, I remember distinctly, there being an episode where there were teenagers on.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I don't even know if I can get through this out without gagging. It's repulsing me. Um, but this one, a couple of- You started this conversation. I know, I know. This, this one teenage couple, they gave each other farts as gifts, because they, ugh, I can't, I can't I can't you have to you have to they keep each other's farts his gifts like like how yeah like into each other's sea air
Starting point is 00:35:13 they're going to cause it I can't the thought of it I can't with they get what they like kneel down and put their mouth over their butts Human-sensitive style Like is this like a human centipede kind of situation? We're talking about I don't love that. I don't love it Right making me grow up. You're gonna soil your good sweats Yeah, can't do that I'm trying not to like do the heaving motion on air, but then I am, I am, I keep going to full on me. I don't say strongly.
Starting point is 00:35:54 You're an international woman. Yes, you are anything can happen. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. This episode of the RISD podcast is brought to you by meundies. We stop missing around about funny things to start talking about something really serious and important. It's your underwear.

I don't have a partner whose stinky stinks with which to smell, but I do find myself having sense memories
Starting point is 00:37:37 awoken much, much easier. We're all catch like a whiff of an axe from four years ago, and I have to like sit down, I'm like, oh, lavender. It's like a good way or a bad way. Like, well, bad, but the smell is nice. Shout out, doctor, whatever the fuck his name is. I can swear.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I can swear. Yeah, of course. Good, okay, I didn't ask. Dr. Shoal. No, but yeah, it's very strange. I don't know if it's because I'm smelling less people than ever. If that makes sense, that the smells that do remind me
Starting point is 00:38:11 of people I've known and smelled are that much stronger in my head. I don't understand it and I don't care too, but it's happened a lot. Yeah. Smells, man, when you smell something that reminds you, it like knocks you down. It's one of our, I think it's inextremely, just like one of our most important senses.
Starting point is 00:38:31 It's your memories. It's your memories, yeah. It goes straight to memory, I think. Yeah, like when I smell the Ratatouille, that's put before me. It reminds me of... Go ahead. I love Ratatouille. I love Ratatouille. I love Raditouille.
Starting point is 00:38:45 The movie are the dish. I mean, the movie. The dish, that's what I'm talking about. I love the dish. And it's underrated. The dish is a simple but impressive. A peasants dish. Dinner.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Well, that's fair. I like, I would like to taste some perspective when I have it. Oh, I have a perspective. Perspective. Perspective. I don't like food. I love it. Love it. And if I don it. Oh, I have a perspective. Oh, I have a perspective. I don't like food. I love it. Love it.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And if I don't love it, I don't swallow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. I really like that movie a lot. Love that. Have you guys ever seen the Raditouille ride that's at like, I think it's at Disneyland Paris? No. it's really
Starting point is 00:39:25 cool. It looks like the cars are not even attached to the ground. Go look it up. You can just drive it around the park after the peak cast. The way that amusement park rides have evolved over time is insane. Like I don't know if any of you have been to the new Star Wars ride at Disneyland. I think it's also a Disney world now. I don't know if any of you have been to the new Star Wars ride at Disneyland. I think it's also a Disney World now. I don't know why I'm blanking on the name. Trevor and I were just there last year. Galaxies Edge, that's the one. That's the place.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And then the actual ride itself. I was smugglers run, maybe, so the ride. No, it's smugglers run. It's not on with that, that's. It's a brand new ride. I'm sure the chat will type it in. Is it smugglers? Smugglers something? There's no smugglers in it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But like nothing, it looks like nothing's on a track, the kind of the same way you were saying, Elise. They're just like, the cars are essentially just going around this area, but it's done in such a masterful way that you always think you're about to hit something, and then last minute, they just like move you around. It's so much fun.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Oh, that's fun. I love a good ride, but I think I took for granted how easily I could just hop on one as a kid and be like, wee, this is fun. Because last time I went to Disneyland, my sister was visiting us here. I hadn't been on a ride in like six or seven years like that. And then I got on like the swing, something low rent. And I was like, oh, God. This is what it's like. I just took a second to adjust. I had to get my sea legs back.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah. That's the same thing. I used to love roller coasters and all those type of rides. And I went to Disney World and went on the, it's the ride in the Hogwarts castle and went on the, it's the ride in the Hogwarts castle where you sit, you like sit it, like you put the thing over you and it just kind of like, it just moves you around but there's all these screens kind of in front of you and you're moving at the same time and I just got completely sick
Starting point is 00:41:21 and then I couldn't do any of the rides for the rest of the day. And I'm like, when did this happen? Like all of a sudden I'm an adult and now I can't do any of the rides for the rest of the day. I'm like, when did this happen? Like all of a sudden, I'm an adult and I do fun things anymore. Where that happens. Where your ability to- Your equilibrium changes. Yeah. I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I don't like this. When I'm on the screen rides like that too, I just close my eyes for the screens because I don't like it. I like the practical stuff too. I just think that the practical stuff is so much more impressive and hold on even even in that hog. The ride is called a Rise of the resistance a lot of people are typing in
Starting point is 00:41:51 chats. It's it's it's pretty new. It opened like maybe a year and a half ago at most I think when you're in hog words and you get to like the whispering willows or the oh sorry the wamping willows or the spiders and stuff That's the stuff that I actually enjoy more. Yes. It's like a real thing in front of me and somebody crafted it. I think it's really cool. Have you guys been on the, it's at Universal, the Jurassic Park ride, it's a water ride?
Starting point is 00:42:15 Oh, yeah. I think it's gone now. Someone told me that. No, that's really depressing. I think it's now Jurassic World. Oh, is it? It's just repair best. I always was like, I love that it's not really
Starting point is 00:42:27 advertised anywhere that it is a ride that does get you very wet. Yeah, it's a walk. It's a log flim. Yes. And I don't remember that Chris is there. Is there anywhere? Okay. I'm just going to say, I just get it. Yeah, but they did the practice.
Starting point is 00:42:42 The worst of the Chris and everything. Yeah, he's a bad Chris, but he's got a good Body yeah, he was Get your wet get your wet. I think in my opinion the worst change over that they did was the tower terror is now that galaxy Or sorry, it gardens the galaxy ride in Disneyland. They like rebranded it and it's Chris Pratt again, another Chris Pratt ride. But they changed so much of that ride to now like you still do the up and down on that ride, like you went on tower of terror. But it's more of like your bouncing, like it's not as much as like you get
Starting point is 00:43:22 sent up in a drop of whole lot. It's a lot more bouncing, so it's a little more nauseating, but also, you only see outside at one point in the ride right at the end. The rest of the time, you're just looking at screens of the characters doing stuff. And I'm like, the whole point of tower of tears, like you're looking outside and you're getting dropped and you're getting lifted back up and all that stuff. I'm 100% with you and you're the only person that I've heard share that opinion, because I think that the novelty is scaring the shit out of you, dropping you, making you feel like you're falling
Starting point is 00:43:54 and then also just showing you how high you are. Exactly. It's a scary part. That's where the fear comes in. Also, the line was always really fun. I have a fire member correctly. It's been a long time since I was on the Twilight Zone version. But like when you go down to like the boiler room and it's like very spooky and very Twilight Zone A and it was like, you know, because that's like part of their whole shit, right?
Starting point is 00:44:13 Is that like when you're waiting in line, it's best to feel like the experience. Yeah. Yeah. And now it's just like, here's Rocket Record. And it's like, it is. There it is. That's great. There's all my favorite guys. Well, I am doing her rocket. Yes. His little spiel. He does his little like, listen up. What going up in this? And I'm going to need you to go find this thing. You're like, whatever you say. I like it. I'm still doing kind of like the animatronic mouth when you do that right now. Just a little egg out. So the only joint effort between Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper? Have they ever start on the screen together besides that?
Starting point is 00:44:52 I cannot think of a single example. I can't think of one, but I need it. It's a good combination. Yeah. I understand. I haven't. Wait, Vin Diesel. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. I was just like, I am famed. I was thinking of the blue guy. Why? I am. Dracks. Yeah. Dracks. I don't know. I like today has been just like a really back-to-back day after a weekend of doing nothing. So my brain is just not functioning very well. So like remembering names and words for things is so off today.
Starting point is 00:45:28 I don't know how you guys feel, but anything can happen. You have today's a special day. Anything. Listen. Say in it. Everything. I don't know if that's just a day thing for me.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I forget things a lot and I hate it because I'm like, what's happening to me? I know I'm getting older, but like that also just can't be it. I just could be getting done. Which is fine too. I attributed to us overloading our brains with information in a new way and a new stimulus and a way that we never were supposed to.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. And so we can't retain information or absorb it and regurgitate it in the way we were programmed to. It's 100% overall. Yeah. I have to take like 15 minutes between shower and starting my day and the morning to just lay in bed in my robe and just look at the ceiling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Just will myself into another day of life and quarantine. Yeah. Sounds which I know sounds like a bummer, but it is. Yeah. It's not really any way to sugarcoat it. It is. But wait, I didn't finish. It sucks. I mean, have you guys been able to just turn off like that?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Because for me, I think my problem is I need constant stimulus. And if I'm not getting that, like, to the point where if I'm watching something on TV, I'll pick up my phone and start scrolling on social media. I'm like, why, like I'm watching a show. Why do I need to be also looking at my phone? It's the same. Yeah, no, it's really bad for me too. I'm the exact same way.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Like we were just watching a show the other night, whatever, whatever show. And I'm like, why am I in my phone right now? Like do I have to be like double stimulated? This is insane. Like DP, what the hell's going on? Yeah. I just don't get it. It's something I'd like to be able to remedy and get rid of that habit after a while. I think it's just when you're not being stimulated in any other way.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Yeah. It's just like you. That was fun. Yeah. It, that was fun. Yeah. It's like, you need, I don't know. It's like I'm overcompensating for it at this point, but my screen time has been stupidly off the charts, and I feel just like really gross about it. Yeah, but I have as well, but then there's also times where I, and it's usually on the weekends, because I think work has been shut off and I'm not on my laptop, where I literally will just kind of be on the couch and just stare for a long time and be very unproductive.
Starting point is 00:47:59 And there's that whole feeling of, you know, when you're on the weekends, oh, finally, I can be productive and get stuff done because I worked all week, but then I'm not productive on the weekends either. And then I make myself feel bad that I wasn't productive because I am just sitting and staring at a wall for an hour and actually being okay with that, which is very interesting. So it's, yeah, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. I don't know what it is, but trying to figure it out. I have to repeat it tomorrow morning 9 a.m. So maybe I'll figure it out then. Haha. Therapy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah, I don't know. It's also, it's, it's just so hard to keep track of everything. Like, I remember last year where I was like, wow, we all have so much time. We can do all these things that we never had the chance to do. And it's just like, even though I'm home all the time, I feel like I just can't, like I haven't been really gaming much. Like I just can't, like I want to watch stuff and I also want to keep in touch with my family
Starting point is 00:48:56 and I'm working and stuff. And then like, and part of that I think is like cutting gameplay footage all day and by six years, just like, I can't do it today. I can't play video games, but like, it's something's constantly giving. And I'm trying to make that a more voluntary thing
Starting point is 00:49:13 because I do really enjoy games, of course, and I want to play more of them, but like, it's hard for me to decide what doesn't get attention. And then something I really love and usually dedicate a lot of time to falls by the wayside. And like exercising. Like I used to take so many walks last April and May. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:31 And I was constantly just going around my neighborhood. And now I'll go like four days at a time without leaving. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. That's so interesting. You see that because same here, like when we first entered quarantine, I was doing all the walks and doing all the things and just then it just slowed down. And now I'm in this weird routine of, I don't know, I'm not doing any of that anymore. It's, at least it's right. It's unnatural.
Starting point is 00:49:58 We get down and we don't really have a way to pick ourselves back up. Like I sent, I have a discord channel with my friends and I was like, hey, I'm having a really rough day, guys. And I just needed to acknowledge ourselves back up. Like I sent, I have a Discord channel with my friends and I was like, hey, I'm having a really rough day guys and I just needed to acknowledge that to someone and they're like, take a walk, do something you like. Listen to music, take a shower and there's all these things. I know how to do it. I'm like, no, I know.
Starting point is 00:50:16 I know what my coping mechanisms are. I just needed to put out there that I don't feel good about this right now. And I can't lean on any of these things because they're just so tired. Well Charlotte, if you ever need to text someone that without any advice in return, I would never give you my number. She would not give it.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I could just get it. I feel, yeah. That's all I need. That's literally all I needed from my friends. And they were all like, do this, do this. I'm like, guys, I know I have the coping mechanisms down. I just needed to tell a group of people, I'm upset and just have it be out there in a second. You just want somebody to be honest, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just like, damn dude, that sucks.
Starting point is 00:50:56 That's what I'm sorry. Shit, fuck me. That sucks. I like, that's like such a bad time, dude. I messaged Barb this the other day asking, you know, the beer, you know, we're in a pandemic we can't actually see each other in person and I asked her like when you, because I know Barb you and maybe even you guys do play games outside of work, but through obviously our computers. And does that help you or make you feel more disconnected?
Starting point is 00:51:26 Because I don't really do any of that outside of work. I, in the beginning, I was playing jackbox games and doing a lot of that. And now it just again, like, fell off. And I just don't really virtually hang out with my friends anymore. No more like Zoom, catch ups or anything like that. And I don't know why I just stopped doing that.
Starting point is 00:51:46 It just maybe it's because I just became exhausting because I do a lot of people kind of have stopped doing it. Like I remember at the start of quarantine within the first maybe four or five months, people were very like, yeah, let's do like a Zoom brunch and let's play like Jackbox games this weekend and do this and that. And I think just like everyone is just burnt out.
Starting point is 00:52:04 And I think that's like, that's like, yeah. I'm with Charlotte, though, too, where I'm at my computer all day. And I'm like, in the last thing I want to do is sit at my computer tonight, yeah, right? Like games, it's tough.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I, yesterday I, I went to target and I bought a printer scanner. And then I was just scanning tax documents and organizing them all day for myself and James. And at least felt like I was doing work and sitting at my computer, but at least the physical act of like, I'm putting this on a scanner and I'm doing it. It's physical things. It actually just felt like doing something constructive that wasn't just, you know, typing in a keyboard and that dissociative act.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I also, I don't know about you guys if you've been going anywhere physically, like obviously masked up and safely and whatnot, but making eye contact with people now is so weird for me because I'm just used to like looking at everyone on my screen and not actually having to make electric eye contact someone. And the other day, I had to go to CVS to pick up something. And there was this guy working there who was like, oh, I could check you out of this counter.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I was like, okay, cool. And I was buying someone white claw. And so he has to see my ID and he picks it up. He goes, huh. I would have thought you were like 22. And I was like, what? Because I was wearing a mask, I had no makeup on. My hair was like really disheveled.
Starting point is 00:53:28 I was wearing the baggiest grossest outfit. And I was like, is this what flirting is like? I don't know what is going on here. And then it's just a good compliment. I couldn't make eye contact with him either. I was like, this is awkward. I don't know what to do. That's very strange.
Starting point is 00:53:44 That is. I feel like we're all going to come out of this with like, I already have weird social issues in general. Sometimes, you know, I just already. Definitely, you too. Thank you, Willie. Sorry, yes. No, I say things that don't make sense. Sometimes I ask inappropriate questions without like a filter. I need to think about't make sense. Sometimes I ask inappropriate questions without like a filter. I need to think about that some more. And I just feel like I'm going to come out of quarantine even worse than I was before. I want no friends.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Yeah. I'm in the supermarket and I'm trying to smile at people with my eyes. And I don't like they must be like this woman is insane. I do that so much where I try to smile. I'm in my head going, like somebody lets me walk past them, hit them with a smile.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Yeah, but no, you almost have to do an exaggerated head movement too, where it's like, yeah. Like I was r off-skinned. It's so funny, because wearing the masks makes it feel like you're totally obscured and you are half but like There's a whole half that's not covered and so
Starting point is 00:54:50 For reasons that would become clear soon enough on fun house. I had been wearing clown makeup all day and Took it off but I didn't realize how little I had taken off and went into the grocery store and I didn't realize how little I had taken off and went into the grocery store and got to the checkout counter. And in front of me was like the most true to life Karen situation I'd seen. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And she was like, I think she was mad that the guy didn't have gloves on. And she was like, you could have killed that old woman in front of you. I want to speak to your manager. You are being disrespectful. And he was like, fine, go ahead. And he was just so over her shit, which was cool. And then I got to the to your manager. You are being disrespectful and he was like, fine, go ahead. And he was just so over her shit, which was cool. And then I got to the front of my,
Starting point is 00:55:29 sorry about that. And he was like, it's no problem. I'm like, oh, people, right? And it was this little moment. And I felt good about it. And I was like, yeah, that's, this is humanity. We are making a connection. And then I got back to my car and I pulled down the mirror. And my eyebrows were green. My whole face was pasty. I had red smeared on the other side and wringlets, like raccoon ringlets of green around my eyes as well. And I was like, whoo. I'm in it. It's like, right. You look, I look nice. You know, Charlie, you know the scene in like dark night, where
Starting point is 00:56:02 the Joker goes to see two face and then pulls, pulls off the mask and then harvests. Yes. Like freaks out. Yeah, I, yes. You didn't freak out when you just saw this part. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Like it takes the Joker pulling off. Yeah. It's so funny too. Yeah. Even just the way he moves is terrible. Oh, I love that scene. It's so funny. Yeah, just same thing basically that's that is what I look like.

Uh, stay tuned to fun house. You'll see.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Okay. Oh, yep. That's just my day. You asked if I look like this every day and in truth, no, I don't put on this makeup every day. I put on other makeup most days. You know what the thing? The saddest part about.
Starting point is 00:58:23 About. Clown. I think it should be clowned down. I just realized I got a clown down. Wake up clowned down, baby. No, you're good. I was just going to say it's
Starting point is 00:58:34 so fine to me. Anytime we've had to do anything silly in a video in this work from home situation, the second you're done recording and you like end the call. And then you're done recording and you end the call and then you're just alone in your own room
Starting point is 00:58:47 with some crazy shit on and you're like, what is my wife doing? Yeah. Yes. Yes. At least it work would be around each other and it's like, ha ha, this is goofy. Now I'm gonna go wash this off,
Starting point is 00:58:59 all the well guys, but. Yeah, she's sad now. Yeah, I was just like, well, this is me. I got these big mirrors in my room and I turned on my right and I'm like, the fuck is wrong with you, Charlotte? What are you doing? Are you around me or are you really?
Starting point is 00:59:13 Yeah. But I'm making content, so I am just a clown, so I'm not worried about it. Right? Yeah. You know? Yeah. Who cares anymore?
Starting point is 00:59:23 Yeah, I'm, I mean like. Yeah. You know, who cares anymore? Yeah, I've been like, yeah. I've had this really weird realization about myself too. And I would like to know if you guys experienced this too, but looking at myself a lot on camera nowadays, because you're constantly looking at yourself in a webcam when you're filming content from home, I've noticed that the muscles on one side of my face are stronger than the other muscles
Starting point is 00:59:48 on the other side of the face. Like I can't lift the side of my cheek and mouth as much as I can on this side. Let's see. Okay. And so I've noticed when I talk, this lip kinda goes like this a little bit and now everyone's gonna notice it forever
Starting point is 01:00:03 and I regret saying this publicly. But I'm like, is there a way to kind of like exercise one side of your face to like strengthen these muscles and make them more interesting because I've never noticed that about you. But now you're always going to look at it. I will bring it up every time. It's why I strategically put my camera at an angle so you can all see half my face at all times. My nose does not point straight forward. It's like a little like it tilts down into the to I guess house right. I used camera right, house right.
Starting point is 01:00:43 I use stage directions all the time. I'd ordered a theater camp for years and years. Yes, that's so great. Yeah, no, I look at myself exclusively in meetings. I don't like it anyone else. I'm only looking at my title. Aren't you glad that Google hang out finally out of the functions of being able to have your camera in?
Starting point is 01:01:01 Sometimes I would pin just my camera just to check it out, but I had mirrors behind my Side up so I'd be looking at myself for however long and then I realized I'm like oh This is everyone see that I'm just tying myself Do you ever have that slight momentary fear that everyone could see what is being pinned by someone else? Yes, I do because when I the times that I do pin myself to look at myself, I'm like, oh, wait, what if I accidentally clicked present and screen it? It's just what you should do is if that were a thing or you do a mirror behind you, pin somebody else and then just go, yeah, uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:01:40 Yeah, right. Like I have Patrick up on my whole screen. Just like, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Yeah. No, but that is something I, I've also noticed something about my nose too, where it just like swirves this way, something that I'm like, did I just notice this now because I have to stare at myself all day or did I notice this in the past and just blacked out on it? What? I don't know. I think it's because I mean, it's probably a function of just looking at yourself all day, every day, on camera.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Yeah. The way we are, like, I've stared at my face so much in the last year, more so than I ever wish I did. I know. A lot of selfies in the camera all these days. For me, in, like, years of editing videos that I was in and going, oh god. Like, is this the visage that all are to see?
Starting point is 01:02:32 You know, you hide yourself under a veil. And I'm totally with you, Barb. Like sometimes if I speak really expressively, I do, like, I don't know if it's just that my jaw is uneven or something, but it's just like, it gets, like, I don't know if it's just that my jaw is uneven or something, but it's just like, it gets slack. Like I guess, that's slack or whatever. And I'm like, oh no.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Sometimes things tense up in a way I don't like, and you know, and editing myself like, idiot. Actually, no, I kind of like dissociate from that person. Like when I edit myself, it could, it might as well be a different person. It took me a while to be like, I still, that may have been actual dissociation though from dysphoria. I think about it as well. I think I might have gone through that at one point in quarantine where I was dissociating
Starting point is 01:03:16 and I had never experienced that before, but I was just like, I just, I feel like my soul had been pulled out of my body and I was just like witnessing things happening to me and just going through the motions and not really feeling anything. I know this sounds like really severe and scary, but like I'm good now, but there was probably a week or so where I was experiencing that and I'm like, it's wild.
Starting point is 01:03:37 This is something I've never felt my whole life. Yeah, I see. I hear not the only person, you know, you're not alone in that because I feel like that was like when I talk to my therapist just about like she checks in she's like so, you know, we're a year in she's gonna be like, how are you, you know, throughout this entire journey of just the way that we've changed and just like weird things that we've gone through. like weird things that we've gone through, like that, Barb, where it's just just like a natural thing. We've just like changed, you know what I mean? And we've just got what we don't normally notice it. Yeah, to this degree. Yeah. Just thinking about that last night. Yeah, you're so right. Like, I wonder how nauseous we'll get on roller coasters when we get back from all this. Oh, man, I am going to be blowing chunks. And I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:04:23 going to be blowing chunks. And I can't wait. Yeah. No, I think it bad a lot because I'm like, oh, I'm going to, you know, uh-huh, coming out of quarantine to different person, which kind of, yeah, but like, it's so weird to think about actually, like, I think about, now that we've reached a year, I think about going into it last year and the moment's leading up to it, which felt like it was all part of the current moment over the whole quarantine. But then I'm like,
Starting point is 01:04:49 oh, I was on the precipice of so many things that I just did not understand. And I feel weird about framing COVID as this kind of evolution of self and this time of change, because it's also been a time of misery and a completely avoidable death. And I think that's really, you have to square that. But also, I mean, like, it's this period of
Starting point is 01:05:12 crazy change. I don't know. I'm still starting it out. And I think I will be for the rest of my life. But it's a way of going into it and coming out of it. I get it because I also feel like I don't want to diminish anybody's experience that actually, it was a terrible time for them. They lost their job or somebody that they loved or had something horrible. But I do think a lot about just the ways it in which
Starting point is 01:05:36 it's made me slow down and reevaluate certain things or reframed my mindset or showed me that I could refrain my mindset in ways. I also felt like I had a big, I am, I am, I feel like I'm an ambivert, which maybe is surprising to some people, because some people are like, yeah, some people are like, she's really wild and weird and out there. And it's like, when I'm alone, I crave my alone time and I really need to be alone. Yeah. Same here. To decompress. I had that term before Amber Bird. Yeah. I had to look it up before because I was like, I need to know because I always lived my life thinking I was an extroverted person, but then I do feel like, Justin, I actually talk about this a lot,
Starting point is 01:06:27 because I think we're in the same camp where we get kind of exhausted by social interaction. And quarantine has kind of, I think, been bad for me in a way, because it let me regress into just being somebody that is very, you know, like alone even more so. And the, I think that I changed a lot in my 20s of being somebody that's like, I'm just gonna go out there and I'm gonna say yes to everything.
Starting point is 01:06:56 And now I'm like, oh, but I really just do wanna stay home. Like, I'm actually not in the mode where I'm like, can't wait to get back out there. Yeah. Yeah. I miss everybody that I love and care about my life, but I'm not looking forward to a return
Starting point is 01:07:13 to the feeling of a constant rat race or feeling like you need to keep up with everybody else in life or this FOMO or anything. Like, I'm not really looking forward to that if I'm being honest. No, I absolutely. It's so interesting because like, Barbara in the beginning is like,
Starting point is 01:07:27 when this is all over with, we'll all get together and we'll do brunch. I'm looking forward to those type of things. Yeah. But I'm, and then going home to recharge my batteries, but I'm not looking forward to, like you said, the rat race, the FOMO feelings, because there's a weird thing within myself,
Starting point is 01:07:44 and I've talked about this with, you know, Barb too, where I, a lot of the times, want to be invited to things. It's, you see it in all the memes where you want to be invited, but like, you know, you're not going to go. And it's not because like, you're ditching them for somebody else, but you're just like, I'm just here now in my own house by myself and I'm just chilling. When I know that if I were to get off my ass and go, I would have a great time. Yeah. And so it's like, those moments where I'm like,
Starting point is 01:08:08 okay, all of COVID, no one's hanging out, so I don't have to feel that phomo. It's so awful to say. It's so awful. Yeah, just awful. I don't know. I think I've had it a lot. Yeah, I was thinking about this last week.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah, and so now, like you said, this is a perfect way to say it is, back to the rat race, those feelings again having to like keep up with All the things just to make sure that I'm feel still I guess validated Which is a whole nother thing of like making sure I'm on the right career path And am I hanging out with fret? You know, it's just all that again. Yes. I am not looking forward to it It's almost I mean obviously everything about the pandemic and being in quarantine, there's been so much awful
Starting point is 01:08:48 that has come from it, of course, but I think something that it's taught me is that it's okay to be honest with people about how you're feeling. And the right people in your life will accept that without like meeting an excuse. So, yeah. Like, if you're friends with people and they invite you somewhere and
Starting point is 01:09:05 you say like, oh, sorry, like I'm not, I'm not really feeling like going out today or you know, I'm a little tired or whatever, there's friends that exist that will shame you for that and guilt you for that. And there are the right people who should be in your life who will understand and don't need you to explain yourself. And just like, okay, that's fine. Okay, next time. Like all good. Yeah, which is why I think Jess and I work, we work well as friends because we both reject each other constantly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Yeah. It's constantly repeating. Yeah, and I've been, it's like an understanding if you know, you text somebody and they get back two days later answering that same question. It's like, you don't need to say sorry it's like I get it like it doesn't and that doesn't mean and I go back and forth on thinking does that it am I just being a lazy friend? Where's the line between putting an effort into your friendships and relationships and then just not putting an effort?
Starting point is 01:10:02 You know what I mean? So I go back and forth on that line, and I have to make sure I'm putting in effort, but also like if I do get a text message and I'm in the middle of something else and I don't respond until two days later, it's like I didn't mean to. I was in the middle of something and I forgot to text back.
Starting point is 01:10:17 It's also a very, I think, deeply personal thing. Like I think every person is different in terms of what they expect out of a relationship or a friendship. And it's just finding the right groove with someone and what people expect and how to essentially meet the needs of those you want in your life. So like Jessica, for you and me, I feel like you and I could go weeks without talking. And then we'll text each other and it's just like everything is normal again.
Starting point is 01:10:43 And like, yeah, we could talk about deep things like if I see something on the internet or like people of hung out or something, I'll text bar and be like, I feel sad about this. And I haven't talked about it in like weeks, but you'll be like, I understand like I feel you know what I mean or whatever like deep stuff and we just don't we don't talk for weeks, but it's okay because we pick up right where we left off. And like for me, I don't know if I could be close friends with someone who needs daily communication and daily interaction because that's not what I'm able to emotionally give to someone. And so I don't have many friends in my life who are like that. And if I do, they probably don't like me very much.
Starting point is 01:11:21 The Zoom calls in all the group hangs fell off, which is great because because I found them so draining and as much as I love the people in them I was just like, I don't, I don't have this in me. I just don't. But like, like my best friend from home Or one of them I should say. I'm very popular. Everyone knows, but they and I Will have conversations that just span across days, but it is like two texts a day. And then if something's on our mind, we will just video call one another. And if it's not a good time, we'll just be like, Hey, I can't talk right now.
Starting point is 01:11:55 And we've gotten a lot better at that. I think I've gotten worse though at being alone. Like, I've gotten better at communicating, but like, I don't think I'm going to be able to face that FOMO stuff well. I think I've just had to put up with it. Yeah. Well, I imagine maybe I'm assuming too much you're jumping the gun on this assumption, but I feel like once things are safe and a majority of people have been vaccinated and who knows how it's going to play out in the next couple of months. But I don't know. I feel like there's going to be a lot of people just kind of chomping at the bit to do stuff.
Starting point is 01:12:29 And I feel like it's going to be not the row in 20s again. But, you know, I think we're going to see like a level of excitement from people and just like wanting to do stuff and be outside and be around people, whether or not that's like, like even just me alone going to a coffee shop. Like I can't wait to do that. Yeah, you know, just people watching. Yeah, just go on a target without a mask, sniffing. I can't love target.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Going on a diet, it's so great. Yeah. Yeah. Licking all the things like I normally would back in the day. Exactly. Licking the, what's their clothing brand? Massimo in the day. Exactly. What's their clothing brand? Massimo Supply Company. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:08 Putting it all in my mouth. Yes. Yes. Month. Yeah, it's possible. And then they have that other one. That's like hip. It's called.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Hither something. Hither to come. Coming. Coming dry. I know. It's like a bear. It's a bear. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:24 And so these riddles three. Excuse me. It's clothing. I'll see know. Can't wait to eat the target which someday. Oh, the target. Yeah. And you can try to close on because you can't try close on and target right now. So you need to go thrifty. No, you can't because of COVID. There's thrifty. Yeah, you can't use the change rooms and thrift stores. Yeah, there have been so many times where I just, I've been, you know, inside my house not seeing anybody for a long time and then I'm like, I'm just going to go to target for like 20 minutes
Starting point is 01:13:59 just to get out of the house. Yeah. And I'll just see a shirt and I'm just like, I'm going to try this on and I can't, well, I'm buying it. And then I don't like it it and then it's here now. I have it now forever. I can't bother to return. Don't return clothes. No, I just have dresses sitting around that simply do not fit me. They will not be returned. I can't tell you many times I used to go to target and if I had to cough I'd just pick up a pair of drawers. I'm just letting this.
Starting point is 01:14:28 But it's really big to the leg elephants out just like, like a win sock. I get, I get trapped in the target cycle, which is where I go to target by a bunch of shit and then I come home and I go, oh, this one thing I need to return. So then I go to target to return it and then I buy a bunch of more, more stuff. Right. Again, it's, it's just a constant cycle. Back and forth and back and forth. I visited a friend in New York once and we didn't have anywhere to go or anything to do really. And he was like, I got to pick up two things at Target.
Starting point is 01:14:55 And we went and we did walk and talk and just weave through and out through at the Isle for an hour. And then I was like, what did you need? And he went, oh, one sec. And he ran into the condom aisle. And I was like, but you could have grabbed that anytime. He's like, I honestly forgot why we came in here. It's like a wait for memory. The second you walk into it. Yeah, it's like that. Is that the Iliad or the Odyssey where they go to the Lotus Island? And they're just there for a decade. It's the Odyssey. I think it's the Iliad, because that's Odysseus, isn't it? Or is that the Otto's foot?
Starting point is 01:15:29 It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot.
Starting point is 01:15:37 It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It's the Otto's foot. It part of their life. And it's really nice. And I was reminded of this recently
Starting point is 01:15:46 because Google served me some photos from 2018 where I, and I totally forgot this happened, but I guess I took Josh Flannigan to my chiropractor. Like, you know, Josh, you know, his body is always breaking. And I think in the end of it. I saw the photos and I went, oh yeah. And I guess his back had been really bothering him and I went, oh well, and I guess his back had been really bothering him and I went, oh well, you come to my car practice, so I drove him there and there are all these
Starting point is 01:16:10 pictures of me, like, with like taking selfies with Josh in the background while he's hooked up to a machine. I was like, yeah, that was a good time we had. I'm so sorry that your brain is thinking about Josh. Right? Wow. I love Josh. Who am I, good friends? But it was a thing that I guess I had completely blocked out of my memory that that happened.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Great guy. Terrible back. Yeah. And me. Yeah. I'm getting my knee checked out this week. I got in like a little. What happened? I think I must have up skiing six or seven years ago I'm getting my knee checked out this week. I got in like, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:16:45 I think I mostly got skiing six or seven years ago and just never bothered to get it checked out. Oh man. Like my friend, my friend and I, we went up on a side trail that was carved out and we were just like, he, he, he, he, he, just going up and down like, like a couple of assholes. It was dark and then something happened where,
Starting point is 01:17:02 I literally saw sparks come off of a ski, glancing off a rock and then we wrapped around a tree into each other. And then something happened where I literally saw sparks come off of a ski glancing off a rock and then we wrapped around a tree into each other. And I don't feel at all the time, but when I ride a bike and I really pushed down the pedal and sometimes just when I'm walking upstairs, like I buckle. And I was always like, oh, that me of mine. And then I was like, my mid 20s, that's not good. I have in Sharon's, I'm just lazy.
Starting point is 01:17:23 So. Yep. Yep. To be in mid 20s again. I'm already broken. So this was all be my mid 70s. I sprayed my ankle over the summer and I was on crutches for like two weeks. And when I went to get it x-rayed, the report said something about how like there was deterioration in my ankle. Oh, no. But like, the doctor didn't address it at all. And I was like, hello, is this something
Starting point is 01:17:52 I should be worried? The way that it was phrased made it sound like the there's like, gingerbread in my ankle and it's all crumbling. I was like, should I be concerned? Right. This is happening? Are you getting enough calcium? I'm taking calcium tablets now because I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:11 But also that doctor, if you like, should bring that to life. Yeah, I feel like that would be a concern. So Charlotte, I mean, address it if you can. Yeah, I'm going to go to the doctor. I'm going to go. I'm actually going to the doctor, which is normally they're all virtual visits, but yeah, that's a message through like this app. And I was like, this is bothering me.
Starting point is 01:18:36 And they were like, you should come in for evaluation. I was like, oh, yeah, I guess it is bad. So I don't know what they'll need to do. But the point is to do some stress testing, I imagine. Like, have you been different ways and see how things feel and what the pain is like, and they could probably, I imagine, like, understand where the issue is. They're doctors, they know what they're doing right.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Yeah, I would hope so. I would hope so. I just, I don't know, I was gonna buy a bike. And I was like, ah, but my knee hurts. And I was like, wait a minute minute I should get that figure it out How many times do you like oh I should go do this but my back hurts You're like oh my hip. Well, I'll pass on that like some ghost some ancestor of mine is floating and they're like you asshole You you have the technology now to fix it and I'm just like
Starting point is 01:19:25 Guess I don't get a bike. I said, I don't get a bike. Man, man, it's like, you know, I did buy an e-bike right before the quarantine. What's an e-bike? It's an electrically powered, partially electrically powered bike that I was going to commute around LA with. But then everything, I thought I was going to be a bike that Gen Z likes. It's a bike that I taped a computer to the handlebars. It's like a work and bike at the same time.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Exactly, yeah, I couldn't afford a peloton. So I put a Microsoft surface on a BMX bike and wrote it onto the free ride. Nice. But you don't have to like use as much power, like leg power, right? That's the point, yeah. It's like pedal assist. It's the point, yeah. It's like pedal assist.
Starting point is 01:20:05 It's the point is so I can get around L.A. A famously bike antagonistic city. And like, take on hills, get past traffic and like not be a sweaty mess when I get where I'm going. It's got like a very, it's got a very long range, like 30 miles, I think, on a mid-pile. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:20:22 So it's great. It's really cool. Yeah. What if you're sweaty mess before you get on the bike asking for a j mid-point. Oh, well. So it's great. It's cool. Yeah. One of your sweaty masks before you get on the bike, asking for a jusskin. I mean, constantly. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:20:31 I was asking for a jusskin. I guess you could get maybe like a towel. I could onto Jessica. Oh, all right. Maybe you have like a shower station, midway. Yeah, yeah. It's my. Get some friends to set up like one of those marathon tables or 5Ks
Starting point is 01:20:48 where it's just cups of water that you pour yourself and throw a bull. Speaking of like a shower station, because of the pandemic, have you guys kind of fought like, man, we were really gross people before this. Like I would touch things everywhere all the time and then stick my fingers in my mouth after I'd just be somewhere. Just wouldn't think that I'll see you in a tasteet. Yeah, I mean, you're right. You're right. Charlotte, you're burning up a good point.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm wrong. I know, I'm not wrong. I'm speaking truth to power. But me, just looking at like, yeah, like Trevor and I a year ago in February, we're in Disneyland and the amount of things that you just touch and then you don't wash your hands for hours or until you go to the bathroom or you're eating food or something later. And like yeah, you touch your face, you touch anything like you're in tight little confymons
Starting point is 01:21:40 with people all breathing the same air like yeah, it's something you would never think about usually until obviously a global pandemic hits you. I miss spitting in public. Yeah, yeah, it's just like just spitting. I mean you can still do it. Not even the doogies because I don't think I can do that. I'm a very good at that. I just fall off the flameim. But I just just some spit. Just a little bit down up and down. Will we see the return of the spatoon? We should, but you have to hold it. You have to have it on like a strap around your neck. A chain? Yeah, it's really orane. Conventions, like Barb, you also, you do the convention circuit and you go to a lot of conventions. Yeah, that's something that has been like a constant discussion with us too, because there
Starting point is 01:22:31 are a few events around the US that have started to go back in person. And our convention agent has reached out to us and be like, are you guys comfortable going back? It's like, no, not until until the majority of people in this country are vaccinated, or at least there's some type of herd immunity going on, because even if we get vaccinated, we don't want to promote being at a in-person event
Starting point is 01:22:53 if it's not the safest possible way of being there. But yeah, it's weird thinking about it too, because other conventional people would do, people would come to the booth, we'd be talking to them like a foot away from them, hold like hanging on to each other, shake in hands, like taking pictures like right, like I would put my face against other people's face
Starting point is 01:23:11 for photos and it's like, I signed somebody's chest. Yeah, I wasn't anybody. I wasn't really hosting a show that. That was the funniest part. He signed me, yeah, and I just put my hands on this stranger. You just did it. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Yeah, I just feel so. And then I think about like, I stopped going to clubs a long time ago, but when I did go to clubs, just being sweaty, rubbing up against everybody. And you know, it's weird, is people are still doing that right now? People are doing that, yeah. Like, for the time.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Maybe don't, like, I understand people miss it and miss social interaction and want to do stuff, but like, don't go to a bar, don't go to a club, and don't promote yourself being at those places and doing those things. Like, my gosh, it's just crazy to me that that's happening. Now we're still seeing the people that flaunted like directly in the face of the regulations getting vaccinations and it's like Can't control what other people do, but it's a little grating right to just be like well didn't really
Starting point is 01:24:19 I don't know It just it feels like we've been being gassed. Yeah It's not as bad as the picture of Mike Pence getting a shot, because that made me furious. I was, I was like, space around the apartment mat when I saw that picture. I was like, I'm just, yeah. Punching your fist over. Yeah, just like, just like pounding on the wall.
Starting point is 01:24:41 My poor roommate's like, wonder what's going on over there. Yeah. At least, was it you? I think it was you that sent me that. I was like, I guess it was like a news headline about, you know, we just, you know, Texas just opened up completely. Well, it on the 10th Wednesday, right? Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah. And so I think it's like, they like tours and the governor's mansion are off limits because it's not safe. And I follow CDC guidelines. However, they may be opening soon. I don't know. Hasn't it been vaccinated? Anyways, hasn't Abbott been vaccinated already? Probably. So he probably has, but it is, it's just kind of like what? Like you just opened up the state, but oh no, Tours because, you know, we live here and we don't want. Don't come here.
Starting point is 01:25:32 What? That's, yeah. No. It's just, it's just such an interesting mentality not to a rag on this too much because I know like, I'm sure everyone including us are kind of over the quarantine talk and the mask talk, you know, COVID, but it is something that's really prevalent in our lives, obviously, very much.
Starting point is 01:25:50 But, you know, when people were voicing their frustration and concern with Texas choosing to do what it's doing on Wednesday, I've seen a lot of responses being like, well, just don't go out, just stay home and just wear your mask. It's like, I have been doing that for a year now. And I have to have been doing it for a year now because other people don't do it
Starting point is 01:26:12 and don't follow these guidelines. So things can't open and there are more cases than people dying and getting sick because everyone needs to be on the same page with this because otherwise it's gonna keep spreading. Sure, if I stay home and I wear my mask, I'm probably not gonna get it and that's good for me, but I also care about other people and other people's well-beings and I wish people did as well.
Starting point is 01:26:33 How dare you care about other people? I just can't say that. Apparently. An essential worker. We'll just don't go to work. Stay home. Yeah, just yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Because the restaurant's that real big. We could be through this so fast if everyone had just followed the route. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like for like a month, it would have been take care of if everyone just wore a mask and stayed home for for a couple of weeks. Me done. Yeah. But now it's a year. So it's I'm a little over it at this point. Yeah, I don't know what you guys. Yeah, no for sure Let's just ready. Yeah, just fucking vibe in over here. That's the how to get through it That's honestly the only way to get through it is to vibe and dance like that. So I'll join you Yeah, but also. I feel it. You know that TikTok where the girl is crying and like spinning her hands up up her head.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Where it's like, why are you so obsessed? How does she do that? Why are you so obsessed with me? I don't want to know. Yeah, that's a tae. I only know the TikTok is about the girl that found a secret room. Oh, I heard about this. Oh my god.
Starting point is 01:27:47 That was incredible.
