But I am thrilled to be joined in my second seat by a very special guest co-host, a brilliant comedian, journalist, activist, you know from places like Al Jazeera, MSNBC,

I was like, a star is born, bitch. Well, Francesca, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian, one of our favorite guests on TDZ.

Were you coming to us from Lidia? I'm in beautiful Santa Monica, California today, actually. Oh, are you? Yes. Welcome, welcome. Yes, I'm overlooking the beach.
Starting point is 00:03:53 It's very pretty. I'm enjoying that quite a bit. I had an iced coffee with some sea-salted caramel foam on top. Got my eyebrows waxed this morning. I really santa monica-ing it today like they look great don't they they're fucking crispy as shit you didn't get them all waxed off like doja cat no i could never are you kidding me my face is entirely too big to not have something going on in that part of my face like i have a very large head and it would just be startling to have no eyebrows. Eyebrows are crucial. I got to say, eyebrows are an important trait for me.
Starting point is 00:04:30 But then some people are coming in and pulling it off like Doja Cat and the woman from Pearl, I think is the name of that horror film. Well, bleached eyebrows are back. Yeah. Mia Goth is the name I was searching for. Thank you, producer Justin. Which is the same I was searching for. Thank you to producer Justin. Which is the same as not having them. Correct. Right. Yeah. Optical illusion. I don't understand
Starting point is 00:04:52 the look. It literally makes you look deranged. Especially if you have dark hair and then you bleach your eyebrows invisible. You're like, what are we doing? Why do you want people to think you're insane? I don't understand the fashion pole. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:06 You also have to drink your own urine a little bit of it. If you do that, there's a little, it's a little pee. Yeah. Like 1000% or like, there's some sort of like, you're like a semen regimen where you're like,
Starting point is 00:05:15 Oh, I also just put semen on my face to keep myself young. Like that's that vibe. Drinking a little pee. It's bleached with semen. In fact, right. Correct. 1000. That's what happens. semen, in fact. Actually, correct.
Starting point is 00:05:28 That's what happens, ladies. Get that stuff right off of your face. Yeah, absolutely. Come away with white spots. Well, it's wonderful to have you both. Lydia, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
Starting point is 00:05:45 We're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. We're going to talk about the new rules of etiquette that New York Magazine put out. We're going to talk about the classified document scavenger hunt that is continuing at Mike Pence's house. I said last week that Mike Pence wished he was interesting enough to have documents at his house, like classified documents. It turns out he is. He, I don't know if he planted them because he wants to be interesting,
Starting point is 00:06:12 but he does. I should have thought when I said that, like I should have specified that like he is covering up some shit. Like he's, you know, trying to run for president while not, you know, alienating a bunch of people who want to kill him,
Starting point is 00:06:25 like, and have openly wanted to kill him for a long time so he's he's a conflicted individual it's not super excited about he's like i can be bad yeah i can mother says i can never be bad yeah a lot of people don't know that he people mistook him just like muttering about mother as him talking about his wife but that's just mother lives inside his mouth. And it's a, yeah, invisible person who tells him that he's a naughty boy. We're going to talk.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Titanic is back. You guys to capitalize on Valentine's day is tomorrow. I hope, I hope nobody's like, Oh shit. At this moment who still partakes in Valentine's day, but Valentine's day is tomorrow. Titanic is back to capitalize on it.
Starting point is 00:07:05 All of that, plenty more. But first, Lydia, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Pet-friendly fabrics. Pet-friendly. Pet-friendly. Yeah. I have a recently new house,
Starting point is 00:07:21 about a house a year and a half ago or so, and I've been trying to furnish said home. And I wanted to wait. I've got a puppy and I wanted to wait until the dog was at least a year old before I bought furniture, you know, for obvious reasons. And then I started realizing, you know, dogs are dirty. I don't know if you guys are aware, but like they have mud on their paws and they shed at all times. And it's a never-ending battle to tackle the pet hair in my home currently. And that has distinctly influenced my furniture purchase.
Starting point is 00:07:55 The idea of something happening to that couch or having a mud print. And I just don't want to live that life where I'm like, you can't be on the couch or I'm yelling at a dog. And I just don't want to live that life where I'm like, you can't be on the couch or I'm yelling at a dog. I'm obsessed with finding something that is like soft and fun and feels like it should be inside my home and not like on a patio, but that I can like wash very easily. Just hose down. Correct. Drag out to the patio and hose it down. Correct.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I found there are not pet friendly fabrics so much as pet friendly colors, which are the colors of mud and dirt. I do think that that is. But you'd be, see, I thought so also, but I've been doing some research. And I have found three separate companies that specialize in making couches out of stuff that is like different grades of pet-friendly. Yeah. Like, how dirty is your dog? Right. How crazy of a situation do you have and how obedient right
Starting point is 00:08:46 because if you say you say you don't want to be the you know dog mom that's like get off the couch you know we're freaking out about you want to be chill about it yeah you want to be the dog can sleep on the couch absolutely so that's the whole thing i so all i have a cat and everything is like i just don't want this cat to fucking ruin a piece of furniture with their claws. And I'm not going to declaw it. So everything in my house is velvet, which is a certain vibe. It's very much like I'm a professor that wants to is going to me to you. Like, it's just like, like the curtains are velvet, like the everything's velvet.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Because cats don't like the feeling of velvet. So they can't, like, get their shit in it. Oh, damn. See, I also, I have two dogs and two cats. So, like, that's the whole thing. It's like, I need to find. So I've been looking at a lot of boucle, a lot of chenilles, a lot of perform. And there is something called performance velvet that I didn't know existed.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Performance velvet? Oh, it performs, baby. It goes the distance. Wow. It goes the distance. But, yeah, so that's exactly what I'm looking at and luckily i live in a wood like i live in a log home so there's a lot of hardness around so the velvet is going to feel sexier in my home amazing it's going to work back but very pumped i'm personally not comfortable unless i'm telling
Starting point is 00:10:00 someone to get off the couch that rings true i see I see that. That's just my energy. I see that. As a 42-year-old dad, that's just, get off the couch. Well, I'm not even on the couch. Yeah. It doesn't matter. In spirit, you were. I've lost the battle of get off the couch because, like, the battle I'm trying to win, but I'm also losing at least two nights a week, is get off the bed. Like, we get a hardcore no bed no no dog on
Starting point is 00:10:26 the bed thing and then now like i've broken the rule and now it's like a hey no and then they creep up slower and slower towards your head and they're just on your head and that's the final stage and then you are the beta lydia you've become beta yes well that's that's it so now she's only allowed to get on the bed if we're watching a movie, right? Yeah. Watching a movie, you're allowed to come on the bed. You know what I mean? But otherwise, you're fine on the couch.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I'm cool with it because I also want the cuddles. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, yeah. I am obsessed with my dog and I want her on top of me and near me at all times. But I regret it afterwards. Can I just say though, this is such an unpopular opinion. I've been waiting to say it at some point.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Like, I don't know your dog and I'm sure your dog is very, very sweet, but there are some dogs and we don't talk about this enough. Yes, we talk, throw shade on cats. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:11:17 They deserve it. Some dogs are bullshit. Some dogs are not all, and I don't just mean the small yappy yaps. My neighbor's got a fucking dalmatian bullshit dog barks non-stop yeah non-fucking oh it's so cute with this little like it's a brown dalmatian even sexier no no it barks all the time and like it and they hate their dog too like like they leave it in the yard the whole time because they secretly know their
Starting point is 00:11:42 dog is bullshit yeah oh i mean just like people right there's a lot of bullshit fucking people like dogs are the same way like when we got this dog i was like am i gonna like this dog and luckily i am obsessed with her and we have a second dog that we were only supposed to have for a week and now we've had it for six months and that's the bullshit dog that's the dog where i tell this dog every day that it's bullshit like and it's a bichon frise poodle and he's an asshole he's an asshole i call him little shitty because he refuses to shit outside he's he's a piece of shit but he's very cute but he's a fucking ass he's a bullshit dog you're 100 right yeah but all the time i tell him he ain't shit there are no bad dogs just bad owners uh actually that is statistically impossible you're full of shit there are there bad dogs just bad owners uh actually that is statistically impossible
Starting point is 00:12:25 you're full of shit there are there have to be bad dogs do you think that applies to children as well oh yes probably some assholes are born there's some assholes that are born assholes there are asshole babies there are absolutely asshole babies i do think that asshole babies can grow up to be lovely people that's true i'm very like nurture over nature where i'm constantly like if i see a kid like acting out i'm like dude they're fucking parents but then it's just it's true i have to i get reminded that it's like no some babies are just kind of more assholey than others it's the respectful thing to do to hate the parent instead of the child like you feel a little better about yourself but yeah it's definitely i have i've witnessed personality traits come out of my six and four year old that
Starting point is 00:13:10 i don't know where the fuck they're coming from you know like there's just yeah they bluey that's where they're coming from that fucking like aussie uppity yeah like talkback shit i had uh my four-year-old just like turn into like the meanest boss in the world because we're also like sleep training him because he kept coming into our bed like so we just locked the door and he like made our night like for the past three weeks into horror movies where it's like i wake as i hear him like get out of his bed and he comes to our door and he just like lays into us for like 20 minutes and he's just like why aren't you coming to the door why is the door locked oh are you stupid oh i get it you're stupid like it was the weirdest shit i was like where did you
Starting point is 00:14:08 like suddenly get the personality of like a gaslighting just toxic asshole um and he's like during waking hours a very sweet kid but it was just the wildest thing that that's hilarious so funny i was in my bed covering my face with a pillow, like laughing so hard. But like I couldn't let him know that it was, like what he was doing was actually the funniest thing I've ever seen. He's like, you're shit parents. What is happening?
Starting point is 00:14:38 I need nurturing. Yeah. That sounds terrifying. I get it. Like he really like took on this tone that i was like have you been watching like glengarry glen ross or something like this is so strange i don't know where it came from always be cuddling exactly lydia what is something you think is overrated oh oh that's a good question that is a very good question
Starting point is 00:15:06 i mean honestly i think i might have said this on this podcast before but i'm just feeling it but just being back outside that phrase how people are like we're outside we're back outside like we're back full into the swing of it like things are normal again like we're all we're all going out and doing things and i i've been living this really lovely life in the woods for the most part we're like you know i leave for shows and i come back and it's very quiet and it's just it's been lovely to have like a balance and i've been in los angeles for four days three days and like the amount of planning and like needing to go from place to place and like doing things and being in several consecutive places over the course of the day as opposed to like i'm used to leaving the house once and coming home and being like well i
Starting point is 00:15:50 really did it right and i've been running around here and i i i no i don't like it i i uh i i think i think it's overrated i don't think i should be doing it like i literally had no plans last night i was like so pumped to come back to the hotel room after all my meetings and be like i literally had no plans last night i was like so pumped to come back to the hotel room after all my meetings and be like i'm gonna order food and not leave yeah like i stayed inside instead of going out to like a comedy club or you know doing something with friends i was like no i don't even want to go to the restaurant eating it i literally want to be in my underwear eating food and watching shitty hotel tv i feel that so hard i mean i never leave i every morning i put on sunscreen like i'm gonna go somewhere you know just like oh she's cute she's the thing she's
Starting point is 00:16:34 gonna go outside like nope she's not she's maybe gonna go into the yard for a second with the baby uh baby doesn't even really like walks at this point she'll freak out at a certain point so she gets it she's like what are we doing get back inside exactly so but i'm gonna need to nap or eat or shit in 10 to 15 minutes that's literally how i feel yeah i feel like your baby no but but it's true like did you did you live in new york for a time at all like no new york thank god yeah no it it's the ultimate that it's the ultimate like i've got all this time to kill i I'm in the middle of Manhattan. I live an hour away from here. I've got a meeting at like four, like a show at eight. And you're just like fucking buying another muffin in a coffee shop to sit there and use the Wi-Fi for forever. It's a terrible existence. There need to be nap pods in cities generally. Pods. Inzunes, generally.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I literally said that yesterday because I was in that exact situation, Francesca, where I was like, okay, this does not make sense. It's 3 p.m. If I go to the hotel, I will not make it to destination B. What do I do? And I literally was like, I don't even want coffee. I don't even want a beverage. And I had to go into a coffee shop and was like, this is where I am now? Yeah. And I was like, if I could just take a nap.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I want to relax. Let me go take, drink something that is basically cocaine. Correct. The third time in the day. I think Tokyo had some kind of like, we were all aghast, but it was like by the hour, little like
Starting point is 00:17:57 shelves you could rent to sleep in. It was like, and I'm not aghast anymore. I'm like, no, no, no, that makes sense. I think they're too small. They're like mini, so that's terrible. The size is. You need space, but still, it makes sense to have those in the middle of the city. and not a joke that is like the corporate infrastructure being like,
Starting point is 00:18:27 see, the DMV doesn't work and therefore we can't fund any of this. So I'm sure if there were Natpods in current day America, they would be dirty and gross. Or exorbitant. Yeah, or exorbitant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah we we talk about i i here's what i actually have done a 180 on the dmv the dmv fucking shows like they're reliable and they help me register to vote have you tried getting your meds recently have how's your health care
Starting point is 00:18:58 how's the private insurance racket going that shit is the real bureaucracy. DMV works fine. DMV will work. Try speaking to a customer service representative for Tesla and see how that goes for you. Yeah, that company just doesn't exist, essentially. What is something you think is underrated, Lydia? So this is related to my
Starting point is 00:19:20 earlier thing, because this is the space that I live in now. Ruggables. Washable rugs and maybe not the company specifically i know there's more than one company that makes them but a washable rug has changed my life like area rugs that you can put down and then you just pick them up and you put them into washer and you wash them and then you put them right back down and they're fine and they look like a normal fancy rug but it just folds up i have them literally all over my house now like
Starting point is 00:19:49 i have one in my main big room i have one in my hall i have like two in my hallway all my my runners my doormats for the front and the back are all washable like it is so incredible just to be able to like be like oh there's a muddy spot oh i just spilled half a glass of red wine oh i dropped a meatball like anything just spilled half a glass of red wine oh i dropped a meatball like anything and i'm like it literally like i have tried to stain this motherfucker and it has not happened yet it is the most amazing invention i'm convinced it's like literal sorcery like it's fantastic i support that but the pile is really thin right it's not like yes yes but you can get like a cushioned mat if you want it to be
Starting point is 00:20:25 like right squishier or higher like i have hardwood floors so for me i want that's perfect because i want something that like my little rumba shark thing can go up and over without like tripping on like something extra plushy and i just don't want like fur to get stuck in the plush so for me it's just great because it's like less less hardwood that i have to like mop up or clean and just like cover it with a rug do whatever you want on it i don't care i will wash it once a week and call it a day and it's it's just great it's the best thing for me just wonderful i keep like telling people i'm like get a washable rug screw it just get a washable rug i got a way too expensive rug recently because I
Starting point is 00:21:06 was so tired. I got, you know, OfferUp is nothing but foisted stuff that sucks that you shouldn't buy. So I bought like a, basically, I'm going to say $500 rug that was down from like $1,300 from Anthropologie. And of course, didn't read the reviews. The shit sheds everywhere. It's way too long. It's disgusting. i'm allergic to it and now i'm fucking stuck with it because offer up is foisted stuff it's stuff that's bad and so for me i'm like yes these these rugs looking at it look very affordable i just threw it down for like a more expensive one because i think that the answer is always spring try to spring for the more expensive thing because it'll last you don't try you know what i mean i've gotten screwed so many times being like i'm getting a deal i'm getting a thing to blank off no no you're
Starting point is 00:21:49 getting foisted a bad rug yeah i don't like those resale sites either because it's like they don't want this for a reason yeah right yeah there's a legit reason why they don't want it you know what i mean it's not just like nobody with like money who has nice things it's like oh i'm just gonna be nice just give my nice shit no that's a myth like that's that's 1000 a myth i feel like the ease of washing things is really like the the main thing with those really expensive blenders is what are the vitamix like have like have you ever had a Vitamix blender? I have a Nutramix yeah I have a Ninja yeah a Ninja
Starting point is 00:22:30 are they like super easy to you just like rinse them out? Mine's super easy yeah that's like that I feel like that's the main innovation of that that people don't like really talk about and that's also the thing with like a bunch of those fancy pans like the Our place pans and
Starting point is 00:22:45 stuff like that like you can just rinse them like it's super easy to those pans do not last that enamel coating on the inside right like i got a couple of them and i loved it and then it's like a year and a half later i just literally just decommissioned them and was like well you're shit now yeah you know i just bought some uh some other fancy pans that are supposed to be quite popular. So we'll see how those go. Fancy pans. Okay, Mrs. Fancy Pans. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Fancy pans. Call me Fancy Pans. But the ease of washing something, I feel like phones, we need phones that are easy to wash. Phones? No, but like they're so gross. No, I enjoy the bacteria on my phone. It's called an ultrasonic box. Throw it in there.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Just blast it with ultraviolet light. Yeah. I need a watchable phone. Just get them in there. Should we take a quick break and then come back and talk about some news? Sure, why not? Fuck it. Let's do it. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Let's do it. Let's go. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous
Starting point is 00:24:16 cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. And Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel
Starting point is 00:26:57 investigating Trump's attempts to overthrow the government, I guess. And experts are calling him a potential key witness in the case. And he, I feel like when I, any time I imagine him, I just go back to that moment where he is between Trump and Nancy Pelosi and just trying, like, jamming his eyes closed, trying to teleport himself out of the moment, just being like, God, don't, just let me, let this be over. I feel like that's where he is all the time. He's just constantly reciting the Lord's Prayer. Right. Yeah. That's the face that he gives. Yeah. I mean, he's trying to run for president and would need the support of a demographic that was openly trying to kill him very recently.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And so Pence's team have been talking with the DOJ about holding a voluntary interview. But those talks apparently broke down, hence the subpoena. And I just I feel like he probably knows some shit is trying to hide that shit because he doesn't want to be revealed as the person who brought down Trump because Trump supporters like fairly recently tried to murder him in public. Yes. And he's like kind of like, how does he campaign? He's like, look, if I don't keep my promises, my neck is real snappable. It is like you could totally hang me. You know, there's a million ways you could kill me. But until then, vote for me. Like that's going to be his bid. something going on like during trump's administration there he pence was always the billionaire pick he was always like the coke brothers boy he was always like you always heard behind the scenes like he was ready to step in and like he was meeting with all the donors and he was and i think like that's what's going on here is that he is i'm sure it's going to switch, if it hasn't already, to DeSantis.
Starting point is 00:29:05 But there's just something about the billionaire class that wants Mike Pence to be the president because he's so spineless. Like almost a medical scientific miracle how spineless he is. And just he is their guy. He's literally an earthworm in a suit yeah he's just worming around yeah and so i think i think that that's why we keep hearing about him and why he thinks i don't know if he even believes really deep down that he could win but there's a lot of money riding on it it's just so funny the cowardiceice, right? Like you see at least DeSantis, who I think will absolutely just implode
Starting point is 00:29:50 going up against Trump, because he can't, he won't, everyone's still scared to go against Trump. But DeSantis is just like, he's like a little leaf that's just in a wind. And he's like, oh, please, little gust, like take me to where I need to go. Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want like he's just waiting for like the cues on how to play
Starting point is 00:30:12 every single, you know, thing to his advantage or not. But but until then, he's not going to like take any kind of stand. So he won't condemn Donald Trump. He won't say Donald Trump legitimately legitimately lost the 2020 election. He won't. He will not come out on any side of anything. He just wants the Lord as his shepherd to guide him into the White House. And that's not going to fly. It's not going to happen like that. And so, I mean, one thing I think about all these stupid classified documents is like. they're way too many classified documents generally like work over classifying everything that doesn't mean yeah throw it to the fucking blogs that everyone should watch and read everything no no it just means like clearly you know how many more people
Starting point is 00:30:59 have classified documents in their homes right now in their third homes as fucking congress people a lot of them so you know i've been reading about you know david dan of the american prospect wrote this whole thing about like actually we've been over classifying things for decades so it's just a it's an endless tit for tat story yeah but it is interesting in terms of maybe he does have stuff that's like remember the alternate slate of electors that was supposed to be handed to him the day he was going to confirm the election results? For sure. Does he have those? Where are they? Was there an alternate plan? Who's the Trump's lawyer? I'm blanking on his name, who basically came up with the alternate slate of electors. You know there was a lot of like,
Starting point is 00:31:40 this is our secret plan dossier. We've we've sprayed it with perfume it's cool water it sounds it smells great and we're gonna win you know like you you know there's some shit that probably should get like glued back together at this point from you know from the shredder that it went through right so the the fbi began a consensual search of his house. So he's trying to portray it as him being more like Biden, where he's just like, yeah, sure, let him in. But there was apparently rising tension between Pence and the DOJ, specifically over the discussion about searching his house. Pence's team even accused the Justice Department of leaking details of a pending search to the press in order to pressure him into cooperating. But I do go back to I don't think anyone actually gives a shit about classified documents in anyone's house other than Trump's. Trump, it makes sense that it would be a problem because it like you could actually see him trying to trade state secrets for like preferential tax treatment in Dubai or some shit like that. You know, like, yeah, he he has that vibe. And like, I don't I don't think anyone thinks Pence or Biden or any of these people is so.
Starting point is 00:33:00 But it's just this logic trap that the mainstream media has fallen into that they're like, well, if we treated it seriously with Trump, we must treat it seriously with them. And it's like, oh, God, that's that's absolutely like nobody is worried that Pence is like engaging in like spy craft. Trump already sold the information. We know that. Like, we know he's already like made good on that if the deal's done and but yeah you got npr being like um is it fair that uh the former vice president biden uh did keep the just like shut the fuck up we know because trump we know and like i hate to say this like oh i don't care because it's my boy. Biden's not my boy. Biden's not anybody's boy.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Biden fucking sucks. We just know that like. Pence sucks. I'm not worried about either of them having fucking classified documents. Yeah. Oh, God. I just have to say one of the lawyers who talked about the alternate slate of electors, if you guys forgot his name, Kenneth Cheesebro.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah. Yeah. Cheesebro. Oh, yeah. That's a rough one. Kenny. Cheese, bro.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Cheese, bro. Cheese, bro. What he walks into his law firm. They're like, it's like when someone named like Luke checks into a basketball game and everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:34:20 Luke, cheese, bro. Oh, God. Cheese. What's that from Lou, like, cheese, bro. Cheese, bro. Oh, God. Cheese. What's that from? I forget.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Anyways. Can I just say, though, rating, like, Pence, the reason Pence doesn't want his home rated is because,
Starting point is 00:34:34 you know, they don't, he doesn't want anyone to find out his, like, little S&M dungeon with, like,
Starting point is 00:34:39 weird pictures of, like, Mary Magdalene looking real fly, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going was gonna say he definitely strikes me as
Starting point is 00:34:47 a dude that would have a basement full of like kneelers with nails in them you know what i mean like that kind of stuff where you're just like all right dude okay the loose nail is a design feature not a bug yes yeah 1000 where he's like i need to kneel and look at her and pray. Oh, God. Documents. Yeah, exactly. It's some Opus Dei weird ass shit. And a little bit of pee. Just a little bit of pee. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:35:14 And a place to bleach your eyebrows. Yeah. No one's asking what's in the eyebrow bleach. All right. Let's talk about this list. We talked about it last week. It's just a fun list to return to. These are new bits of social etiquette that New York Magazine is suggesting. Is it perfect? No. Is it elitist? Well, I'll tell you that the very first rule is you don't have to read everyone's book. We can't
Starting point is 00:35:40 be expected to spend all our time metabolizing content by friends or friends of friends. can't be expected to spend all our time metabolizing content by friends or friends of friends like so way to start with one everyone can relate to you know all of my friends have books everyone's just written a memoir and i haven't just gotten around oh my god wow i can't wait that it's crazy that they have that but they're approachable there's also good stuff. There's good stuff in there. There are hundreds of these, and there's some good stuff that we talked last week about one that was never tell anyone who you think they look like.
Starting point is 00:36:16 I agree with that. I agree with that. It's such a weird... It's just weird. Yeah. It's both weird. It's bad for anyone who's doing the, you know who you look like that you are about to say something that is gonna fuck you like fuck that person up or whatever. But it's so it's so revealing that it's always interesting. Like I do want to know what they're gonna say. I'm not gonna like it. But I desperately want to know what the fuck they're going to say. That's why I always like as someone who's mixed,
Starting point is 00:36:45 like it's so funny because ethnicity really is in the eye of the beholder. Absolutely. People will tag you and be like, is this your doppelganger? You're like, what are you? What world? But that being said,
Starting point is 00:36:59 Jack, you do look like El Chapo's son. Yes. I'm sorry. Oh yeah, that's right. That's so funny that this came up i did not talk about that but yeah you pointed out on twitter that i do look a little like el
Starting point is 00:37:11 chapo's son who i was like yeah i will take that he is hot and very young looking guy yeah he's hot dangerous young good brows i'll take all that great brows i'm gonna have to i'm gonna have to do a google I've never seen What he looks like I'm 1000% gonna Google that But it's just funny Like as a fat person I get
Starting point is 00:37:31 I mean I've gotten Chrissy Metz From This Is Us Like twice Since I've lived in Nashville Oh my god Right And I could not look
Starting point is 00:37:38 Anything less like her Other than we're both fat women Right Like where I'm like Literally Oh my god what I don't look Anything like her Nothing Like not god what i don't look anything like her nothing
Starting point is 00:37:47 like not a stick like we don't dress similarly our styles are not the same we don't have the same hair color we don't have the same eye color the only thing we have is big round bodies with big round heads like that's literally it her makeup's fly i feel like oh no she's a beautiful woman like that's it though You just don't look alike. Right. And like, what? Yeah. But people are really reflexively go to that a lot.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I talked about how I got Walton Goggins one time and it ruined my day. Walton Goggins. I don't know who that is. Very funny actor from Vice Principals. And it was just, did you just look him up? Yeah.ton goggins is early man like look at this moment he's like he's got chromagnon yeah uh here are some new so those are the ones we talked about okay last week some some new new rules because that's what they would have called it if bill maher hadn't one don't pick up the phone. What's that? I said, were you going to break into one? Don't pick up the phone.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yes. Mm-hmm. So one is don't post RIPs for celebrities unless David Crosby was your actual uncle refrain. I think this is true if you're just posting a picture and being like, oh man, RIP. That said, I love a celebrity story. And I feel like you get true and wild stories
Starting point is 00:39:16 about celebrities behaving badly when they die or behaving awesomely when they die. So I will allow a personal anecdote about said celebrity when the celebrity dies personally what are you guys's thoughts i'm with you on that i think if you have a personal connection of some sort and it's to a degree that you feel compelled to do that you know and you've got like you said you've got some sort of anecdote or some sort of you know relevance or an interesting sort of take i think that that's fine i do think it's weird when people post videos i'm like crying or like you know what i mean where
Starting point is 00:39:51 they're like in tears and it's like you've never met that person you don't know them they don't know you like you've got to calm down you know what i mean just handle that process it whatever you need to do but i don't think you need to involve the rest of us. It should be held in. Or not held in. You should cry and do whatever you need to do. But you should also be embarrassed by that and not post it on Maine.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I think it's weird to cry when a celebrity dies generally. But then I have to maybe admit something that's gonna get me a lot of hate i think the closest i was to like crying when a celebrity died call him a celebrity call him a 21st century socialist when hugo chavez died it fucked me up you know as a socialist as someone who's like, you know, believes in the Latin American left. Yes, he wasn't perfect, but reduced poverty by 70 percent in that country.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Extreme poverty by 90 percent. It fucked me up that he died. Slash was given cancer by the CIA. OBS. No, but here's the thing. Here's what I don't like about posting RIPs of celebrities. It always makes me feel guilty that I didn't like that celebrity harder. So I retroactively try to be cool and be like, totally.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I knew blankety blank. You know what I mean? Like I'm not just Googling them now and ordering their books. Yeah. Another elitist one. You and Bobby De Niro may go way back, but to everyone else, he's Robert. This is true. This always makes me hate the celebrity a little bit, but it's also like a fun way. Like I think celebrities should keep doing it because it reminds us that they are not like us and they're trash. but it like who is the intended audience of this article like that that was like this is this just for like james marsden like the like it's a very random thing like this person must have been like around some real d-bags that are just like referring to like are they just like randomly
Starting point is 00:42:00 referring to bobby oh no bobby who oh oh de ni, De Niro. Did you know, you know Bobby? Yeah. Like how is this, how often is this happening that this made this article? All the time to New York magazine editors and they assumed the rest of us,
Starting point is 00:42:15 I guess. It was like one dinner that he felt on the out of and he was like, you know what? Rules. Okay. Like that's what,
Starting point is 00:42:22 but it also feels kind of like a troll. Like I've read all of these. I feel like some of them are pretty satirical. one of them is like don't wake up your partner ever ever uh if you think there's an intruder work it out deal with it on your own deal with it it's like yeah yeah which is true because i always think there's an intruder and there definitely is not but maybe there is and i have woken up my partner but like oh i'm not supposed to use partner unless quote you want to get something out of it according to him
Starting point is 00:42:49 which is like straight people can't use partner unless it's like a there's an angle to which i'm like that's terrible that's right that's super terrible like i take such umbrage with that because like i'm a 45 year old woman i don't have a boyfriend when am i 16 like that's just ridiculous like that is and also like as women i think in general women are more comfortable using the word boyfriend like whether we're two or 100 we will use that because it's like we want to say we have one but like men have been avoiding the word girlfriend forever like there's nothing like my friend like and then as they get older it it just gets worse. Like, some 50-year-old man's like, oh, this is my lady friend. Where it's like, yeah, I get it, bro.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You still fuck. Like, you don't, why do you, partner is fine. Partner is the best word. That's who that person is. It is your partner in life. Yeah. Like, but I've also been on the other side where I've said partner and people are like, oh, what does she do? And I'm like, uh, excuse me, how do you not know that, what?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Like, just to assume that i am gay because i use that you know not that there's anything wrong with that but it's like it's just it's so silly to me like what an antiquated version and that we're still hung up on this if you're not married that like you can't use a word long enough it's been long enough it's it should be normalized and without and it can be open whether you know that person's same sex or not it should just absolutely and also if there's an intruder in my house i'm not gonna have to wake up because he's gonna be awake and that person's gonna have a fucking gun in their face so i don't like not in my house i'm sorry like i've got we got cameras
Starting point is 00:44:19 i got things for a reason and if i get up first they're gonna have two guns in their face like that's gonna be both of us but if they track mud in the house, you will pop that rug right in the washer. Yeah, it'll be fine. That's what I'm saying. Shoot someone, you know what I mean? Get rid of that body, dig a hole, pull up that rug, put it in the washer. Not because you did anything wrong, but just because you want to...
Starting point is 00:44:38 You know, it's a hassle to bring the police in and stuff. And you're completely self-sufficient. Alright, one that I want to induct into the like these need to be absolute rules for everyone the the other two were the celebrity lookalikes and also white people only get to pronounce 50 cent like i just did they don't get to do 50 that is the other yeah i i think those are two hard rules that need to be everybody needs to agree on that i think this one why are we still talking about 50 cent like why is that and like who who are these these legions of people that are i say never stop talking about 50 cent yeah 50 cent
Starting point is 00:45:22 what about flow writer how how how can? How do we treat that one? I think just insist on pronouncing it Florida. And just own, just steer into the whiteness and irrelevance. Do you like the music of Florida? Florida was a wonderful rapper with a terrible hairline. That's right. For group dinners, this isn't even funny this is just one that i want to add to the you know the 10 commandments for group dinners with friends always split the bill evenly but if you're drinking and i'm not offered to pay
Starting point is 00:45:56 the entire tip yes yes perfect common sense yes common sense the itemizing of it and like being like let me see here just just leads to to chaos and then yes people who don't drink it's it's not fun to really not fun to pay for other people's alcohol yeah yeah yeah big time i think that's not great it's not the end of the world but like it's it's a very courteous thing to do to be like hey since you didn't drink you i'll pay for the tip anyways but you have but you can't like you have to offer if you're the one who didn't drink how do you ride that it's very difficult also another one i just want to induct saw someone shoplifting no you didn't there we go agree with that fuck up shut up yeah yeah shut the fuck up quiet down karen that's not your business anything in general that is a crime against a piece of property shut the fuck up okay
Starting point is 00:46:50 it's not that's not a person so you can also saw someone digging in the trash just let it go let it in your it's fine it's fine it's fine it's trash you put it there you threw it unless they're like clearly a cia agent in which case you might want to just introduce yourself flattered yes thank you cia uh-huh all right let's take a quick break we'll come back we'll talk about titanic this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.
Starting point is 00:48:09 This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?
Starting point is 00:48:43 Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.
Starting point is 00:49:00 We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up.
Starting point is 00:49:23 In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like
Starting point is 00:50:11 I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we got more rules to discuss. Sorry. Because this one's tricky. And it kind of ties into this episode. Don't talk shit about your baby. So the spirit of this, because there's an entire write-up for this one.
Starting point is 00:50:42 It's not like the one that was just wink more or always wink was one of them with no explanation it was like my friend wrote this one that's someone's grandpa right there so this one is all about like you have like single friends they're like oh my god like what's it like how's your baby and people just being like uh it's fine you know like you're god like what's it like how's your baby and people just being like uh it's fine you know like you're being like i hate it it's the worst i think it can be fine to like be honest about your baby just don't be like overwhelmingly negative about the parenting thing unless it is a way to cling as a new mom it is a way to cling to your old self or like chalk up your old self as someone who was more social and cooler than you actually were
Starting point is 00:51:32 when you really were had mom energy dad energy before you had a kid and you do love your kid but it's like it's this weird overcompensation and it's also assuming that the person doesn't want to hear about your baby. I can tell you right now, it's very clear which people want to like and would be receptive or even think babies are cute and which people are absolutely not. So like on it. Yeah, exactly. So you kind of like as a parent, you kind of have to like walk that line. I don't know. I guess I get this one and I don't get this one at the same time. It's just it can't be a rule. It can't be a rule. I'm sorry we cannot induct this one.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I'm sorry, New York Magazine. I know you lobbied hard for this one. We will not be inducting this one ever. It's got the Pete Rose ban. Because it's just written from one very specific person's perspective who wants to hear about one very specific friend. Like you can just tell some of these are just people working through a bad dinner that they had. And like I've had a bad dinner with people like before I had kids with parents, like two parents who only talked about their kids complete with doing the voice of the kid.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Oh, yeah. It was it was a lot. It was a a lot was it shit talking sorry no no it was the opposite of shit talking and it was yeah see i mean not the opposite they weren't like bragging but they were like telling stories that were like would be cute if i had been there right when the kid did it but it is and it was definitely like something that like, if it happened with my kids, I would like, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:09 excitedly tell my wife when she got home, you know, but I w it's to assume that level of interest. Yeah. Emotional honesty is great. I think that's the overall point is like emotional honesty. Like you want to, if, if it's hard, like go into detail about that. the overall point is like emotional honesty. Like you want to, if,
Starting point is 00:53:30 if it's hard, like go into detail about that. Don't just be like, uh, don't even get me started on my kid and move, move along. Like be, don't, don't let parenting be an opportunity to shut out your friends who aren't parenting. Just use, yeah, be, do, do the hard work of digging deep and expressing your emotions through words. Succinctly. Yeah. I mean, as somebody who doesn't have kids, when I ask people like, hey, how's your kid? Or like, how's new mom life or whatever going? Like, I do
Starting point is 00:53:57 generally want to know the answer, but I also, I sort of delight when they talk shit because I'm like, you know that was a mistake. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. It also reminds me that I made a good choice where I'm just like oh god like i brought it up and i just bummed them out like i think it might be a better rule which is don't ask your friends with kids how their kids are ask them how they're doing how yeah yeah there we go how are you doing how's how's life like most parents i know are overwhelmed or they're fine with it because they're old enough. But, like, they're out because they don't want to fucking talk about their kids.
Starting point is 00:54:28 And people feel obligated to bring it up. Or it's like you said, you know, Jack, it's the people that are, like, want to tell you everything that happened in grade two. You know, like, oh, well, they went to school. It's like, no. That's for you and your husband or your wife or your partner or whomever you made that child with. That's for you guys. Just tell me they're fine and let's keep it moving you know what i mean like it moving yeah read the room but do refer to robert de niro's body but i do think it's an interesting like it i think people
Starting point is 00:54:58 need like a like in the brazilian churrascarias like a red or green in terms of are they cool with talking about kids or not because i oh good one totally because i like try to also remember remind my like friends who are in the fertility struggle and that is very real around my age right like like you might not want this you know what i mean like don't be like i support you obviously want all the things and yes and i know it can be fucked up to say like like, don't tell me what I don't want. But I'm just like, newborns are fucking terrible. Just pure honesty. It's way too much work.
Starting point is 00:55:33 But to your point, too, like, it just might be, like, crappy if you've been trying and trying and trying to hear people talking about kids. And it's like, you're happy to go see your friends. And now they're all talking about your kids. Like, great. Now I feel more on the outside than I've ever felt before. Yes. Exactly. Like, how devastating. Like like that would be terrible yes it's definitely not me but i appreciate it no you're you've got a whole fam of furries yeah i have animals i've
Starting point is 00:55:57 made worse decisions all right well i want to talk about my friend Jim Cameron, who made the film Titanic. I'm not sure if you know him. Oh, Jimmy? Wow. He's still not learning your lesson. What are you talking about? When did you guys meet? What was...
Starting point is 00:56:12 What does he go by? Oh, James, I guess. So... Jimmy. It's just so formal, you know? Yeah, weird. I know him as Jimmy. I know Jim.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I just know him as Jim. But he has brought Titanic back. To capitalize on Valentine's Day. I did not realize this. The biggest day in the history of Titanic at the box office was 1998. Valentine's Day. I didn't realize it
Starting point is 00:56:38 had come out then. Yeah, it came out on Christmas. I remember this. Do you guys remember? I've always cared about box office and like how movies are being received and shit like that and i i do you work for warner brothers why do you care no i it's just always been like i've always checked the box office since i was like a kid like that and like also been doing like even before rotten tomatoes i was always like checking what the critical consensus was because i'm i don't
Starting point is 00:57:05 know there's something broken in me but when titanic just imagining like a 10 year old jack just like i cannot believe the transformers did not break five mil i am so disappointed five mil like a bill i don't come on transformers killing i i don't look at the numbers. Clearly. So, 25 year anniversary of the biggest day, biggest box office in Titanic history. 25 years? Yeah, 25
Starting point is 00:57:36 years. I feel so old. So they're dropping the 3D version on our ass again. 3D? Hell yeah. Yeah, they did a 3D version about a decade ago that i didn't remember but apparently when they put it out kate winslet's tits look even better incredible it made 60 million the last time they put it out in 3d and this time i think they're just hoping to capitalize on slow box office not a lot of movies being released we're talking theater release theater release going up
Starting point is 00:58:06 against magic mike's last dance oh oh here's what you do that's what i want to see in 3d yes here's what you do it's poking into me like as i'm watching it in the theater yeah i think you spend the whole day in the theater you go from avatar 2 to titanic to magic mike's last dance that is just like just do it like we did when we were 14 yeah sneak between them yep and your butt will be a literal square yeah actually just bring some lumbar support you know bring your own cushions bring your own snacks bring a whole lunch pay for the cheap seats down front at the movie theater because now those are cheaper than the middle of the the normal seats isn't biden gonna stop that biden said junk bill junk fees we're getting rid of junk fees yeah that's a junk fee total junk fee
Starting point is 00:58:59 joseph joey joey yeah then you can you can just do some squats and shit if you're doing a full day. Oh, yeah. Just walk the aisles. Do some Kegels while you're sitting there. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But I'm assuming this is going to bring up one of my favorite internet phenomena,
Starting point is 00:59:19 which is young people being like, Yo, Titanic is based on a true story? Are you serious? I remember seeing that in 2000, the last time that it was re-released with younger millennials. And I'm sure we'll see it again with Gen Z. Is this like, that Paul McCartney is like,
Starting point is 00:59:43 he's real good for like an old guy. Yeah. They didn't sign him. So I don't know if you guys have ever been to one. I think there's actually more than one. But in Pigeon Forge, there is an actual I don't know what to call it. It's a Titanic like museum slash experience. So it's basically like the whole building looks literally looks like the titanic drowning there
Starting point is 01:00:06 is a fake iceberg and water shooting out of the iceberg and the whole thing is like you get onto the boat and then they take you around inside and they have pictures from the the titanic like explaining that like how the titanic drowned and like you kind of like the boat like shakes that's very cool it's cool but also right now incredibly weird but when i was there we went and did it because i was like i need to know i need to know what's going on in here this is the most bizarre thing i've ever seen of like an attraction that's what that was what i was looking for earlier but when i was in there there was a kid in there that literally had that epiphany it was like oh wow they made a whole like
Starting point is 01:00:43 attraction like there's a whole park based on the movie and then like the parent was trying to explain to the child that it wasn't a real thing and then the kid put it all together and i was like so we're here celebrating how people died and i was like there you go kid this was a tragedy in a very luxurious and romantic way they yeah he's like why did people get on the boat if they knew it was going to crash? And I was like, another great question. I don't think they knew. But this is why, though, I feel like kids generally need more dry 20 minute documentary PBS documentaries in their lives.
Starting point is 01:01:22 You know what I mean? Like, like, we need to watch more Nova. Like, I want to raise my kid on those documentaries or like i used to watch a documentary about castles over and over again when i was little and i like learned a lot about something that isn't like i must care about a romance in order to care about this you know this piece of history but also what done in a way that is for kind of like smooth brained people, i.e. children as well. You know, like there's got to be,
Starting point is 01:01:49 we got to split the difference because it's true that like after watching Titanic, you think Titanic is just about a woman named Rose and a guy named Jack. And like it should, every movie should end with like the way Spike Lee does where it's like, here's this fictional story kind of. And then he ends with like, actually, it's really real pictures of real shit. Yeah, because I don't think Titanic is like based on a true story at the beginning.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Maybe it is. But yeah, I just had the realization because I was reading a book with my kids last night that was about skyscraper construction and steel beams, how you put those together. And I was like, oh, I'm going to have to tell them about 9-11 at some point so that they don't learn about it on the internet and get truthered. I'm like, oh, no. Yeah, I need to figure out how I'm going to tell my six-year-old about 9-11. How are you going to tell them, though?
Starting point is 01:02:48 Like, what's the rehearsal? I feel it's like, so there is some controversy. Oh, I'm not going to tell you the controversy. Yeah, maybe I should, though, because so they're prepared for it. Because as you see from the model that Daddy created here for you, honey, that jet fuel cannot melt these. Here, let's just, I'm going to light it on fire. Yeah. And George Bush did do it in our home.
Starting point is 01:03:13 I love it. We don't talk about that in polite company, son. But yeah, I don't know. I love Titanic. Titanic just scratches that itch for me. It definitely came out in my leo phase you know i i bawled at romeo and juliet in the theater bawled my friends and i had a contest who could ball louder yeah at the end of that fucking movie then titanic comes out you're
Starting point is 01:03:37 there like i think i saw in like the frontest row which would be the cheap seats now right in the corner and just lapped up every single moment i probably saw it multiple times in the theater but i don't remember right what an epic i mean james cameron is a piece of shit he left his wife for the young hot actress the granddaughter or whatever remember that oh did he yeah did he leave bigelow for her i don't know katherine anyway it's fine yeah no he's jimmy and i will talk about it later truly but yeah i well so it came out when i was in high school and you know leonardo dicabrio's name in that is jack so that was beneficial to me big for you i could say oh yeah huge for me yeah i was in college and so i waited for it to come
Starting point is 01:04:25 on to videotape and i went down to the good old blockbuster uh it came on two vhs tapes because it was so long thank you yeah and i remember watching it in my little like studio apartment i had one of those tvs that was a tv and a vcr and the same thing you know what i mean oh so small maybe yeah maybe maybe 19 inches if i was lucky. Realistically, it was probably 12. It was a very small TV. And I remember watching it and just like was so fucking bored. Was just like, this is the most boring. I'm like, when the fuck is this boat going to tank?
Starting point is 01:04:55 Because if I get to see one more like longing, loving look, like I am the, I hate romantic movies. Like I'm not big on romance. I'm very practical like if it happens organically i'm with it but like you're not gonna get me with a romantic like anything i hated that movie i never put in the second tape to be honest with you i've never watched the whole thing from start to finish i watched the first side and was like yeah yeah the boat sinks i get it all right someone ends up like never watched i have a child you gotta watch it just for billy zane's line like yeah you know i think the yeah you should just fast forward to the part where the boat starts to sink at one point a guy falls off the
Starting point is 01:05:35 boat when it's like all the way tipped over and then like hits his head on like a thing and just like starts spinning like so rapidly it's like one of the coolest moments of violence in any movie and it just like hidden in our two hour two hours and 45 minutes into this like romantic epic well the best part is that actually speaking of whether it was real or not in the history of it is they sort of blame kate winslet and leo the the couple for the fact that because they were making out and the people were supposed to just like see where the boat was headed were watching
Starting point is 01:06:10 them make out like oh yeah then they turn their back and it's like oh shit I spoke right ahead fuck and so like I love how Jimmy effectively yeah claimed rewrote history yeah I mean there's also the fact that the captain like he does blame
Starting point is 01:06:26 capitalism a little bit which is good because that's what happened that's what caused it right too many candelabras on them yeah and no the captain being like yeah we're just gonna fucking fly with this thing because we want to like show off and get there fast and you know right but yeah i also plan i i remember i think i've only seen titanic once and i think my overwhelming impression was that the romantic dialogue was like written by somebody who has never experienced human love before like i i just had this again because my kids are like watching Star Wars, which they're too young,
Starting point is 01:07:09 but I've been told, but not the really scary ones. But they were just watching episode two with where Anakin Skywalker and Natalie Portman are like falling in love. I was, again, just like the worst romantic dialogue that's ever been conceived but it it's it's like a turing test for a for a sociopath i take major umbrage with the idea that
Starting point is 01:07:36 the script for titanic which is brilliant and the love story which is brilliant is it all as garbo as fucking anakin and princess i onlyakin and princess i need to go back maybe maybe i need to go back you're right that was written by like chat gpt like like just someone who's never actually like climaxed right wrote that yeah anyways you can go see it on the big screen lydia don't miss your chance. You know what? Maybe I will. Maybe I will.
Starting point is 01:08:08 While you're in L.A. I'm going to get an expensive seat. I'm going to sit in the back. Hell yeah. That's right. I'm going to splurge. I haven't been to a movie theater in so long. The last movie I saw in a theater was in Palm Springs during the pandemic.
Starting point is 01:08:23 And I went and saw an Indian movie called Bahubalai. Well, Bahubalai 2, actually. It was fantastic. It was really great. Didn't understand a word they were saying, but I had a great time. That's awesome. Bahubalai 2, Electric Bahubalai Galoo.
