That's a family comedy, you know there's uh, never have I ever had it. But this is like just a family show about this Indian family and I was so happy. We looked everywhere for this cast.

Speaker 1:What channel is it? Amazon Prime? Amazon Prime, channel 4 now streaming.
Speaker 3:Now streaming, like you remember when there were numbers oh right, yeah, channel 4, there still is.
Speaker 4:I can relate to it in the sense of like having an immigrant family yeah, he comes from an italian family, uh and so a lot of times you know, like growing up everyone thought it was like they made, like it was like a cartoonization, like a caricature of what the family is, and sometimes when shows come out like that to show it, they have to kind of go that route. But you went. It was just so funny and honest and like relatable in like so many different areas it's really balanced in that.
Speaker 3:yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1:I would like to make a point, though, and I've been pointing this out in every show lately, since I'm blonde the blonde girl is always kind of the dick in the show, so I was the. The blonde is the born again Christian in this one. Not that you know, all born again Christians are dicks, I'm just saying, ironically you're not.
Speaker 4:you're the only blonde in your family and you're the only not born again christian.
Speaker 1:That's true. That's a good point. Sorry, mom, if you're watching, true for me as well.
Speaker 3:Your parents are born again. Uh, my sister, oh my dad left the, he left the church. Well, yeah, they were like um diet southern baptist like uh church of christ. Okay, all right, they were holy rollers, but if you said that to them, they'd get very mad yeah they'd be holy punchers, gotta be careful, not rolling up on it.
Speaker 2:That's not very Christian. Wait a minute, wait a minute Hold on.
Speaker 1:We're gonna wait a minute. Do you guys have a minute? One minute please, as we all process Christianity.

Speaker 4:about oh yeah, I'm so glad you asked.
Speaker 1:I want to know. Okay, hold on, let me see if I can check.

Speaker 1:Oh yes, okay, perfect, do you have? Does anybody in this room suffer from? Did you suffer from teen acne or and or adult acne?
Speaker 2:I did suffer from teen acne you did I had. I had a problem pore. You know this one pore that would always clog, yeah, on the end of my nose my mouth is watering.
Speaker 1:already Danish people have clogs what.
Speaker 3:That's about their plumbing. That's about the tooth clog. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:I had this problem, poor, and it would every like three months, like some sort of werewolf cycle. It would like form on my nose and I'd feel it, and then it would turn whitehead and it would turn huge and it would sit there forever. And I'd feel it, and then it would turn whitehead and it would turn huge, and it would sit there forever and then one day I was in sixth grade and I had school photos that day and I thought it'd be a good idea to take a nail clipper oh no, ow, that hurts yes it was, oh my god, I took a nail.
Speaker 3:I saw that episode of you on Dr Pimple popper that was me, dr pimper clipper.
Speaker 1:They did not go.
Speaker 3:I was on qvc with pimple clippers like a cigar clipper, like at the end of a cigar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would have had a permanent divot in my nose. I was like ready, and then my sister came into the bathroom because we only had one bathroom. She's like what? The like? She was just coming in to like get her barrettes or whatever she's like what are? You doing. I'm like I'm gonna get rid of my pimple. She's like you're gonna cut your nose off and you have a scar there oh, my god, I'm so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you would have probably had a scar, that would have been, and I was like you know there's like makeover days for photos, just don't take, get it taken.
Speaker 2:Today I'm like oh, oh, I didn't even know that it's like if kids miss it, if they're sick or whatever.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, there was. They did have that. There's always a do over day.
Speaker 1:I never knew that I didn't have I didn't.
Speaker 3:I'm such a slow, slow, slow learner, late bloomer, that I had bangs, whatever, and my I have an older sister and I said I have bumps under my bangs and my mom's like honey, do you have a pimple? I go no, no, I have these knots, they're knots, they're pimples. You didn't know what pimples were. Well, I didn't. They felt like knots. They never pimpled, they just were like little knots. But I didn't really have much, I didn't have much, I didn't really have much.
Speaker 1:I didn't have much. Yeah, I was going to say Sondra had those under his bangs when he was a kid, but they were garlic knots, they were garlic knots.
Speaker 4:Hey, yo no.
Speaker 2:no, this is nothing cartoonish about that Italian stereotype.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, not at all.
Speaker 1:They were garlic knots, the worst part is that I started with the punchline. I was like all right.
Speaker 4:I, I'm sorry we do. You put it in garlic nuts, I'm not even kidding. I go to bed at night for some reason, I don't know why. I'll go.
Speaker 1:I'll get home late, I dip whatever I can find into hummus and then I go to bed and the first thing Nikki says is you smell like garlic and it's just like it's not even garlic, it's like hummus, it's not like a nice garlicky smell.
Speaker 3:Hummus isn't Italian?
Speaker 1:No, it's not, but garlic is very you know, it's very there I'm saying I love garlic, it's very present.
Speaker 2:I'd say yeah, you know what? I'd say everything's Italian, because Rome conquered the whole world.
Speaker 1:So whatever that's a good point, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 2:Whatever, I don't understand why the Romans, the Italians? Are like that's us.
Speaker 4:Here's the thing Italians are very, very lazy. They like to hang out and do whatever, and then they just smoke cigarettes in front of your face.
Speaker 3:How do you say acne in Italian?
Speaker 4:Brutto.
Speaker 3:That means ugly, no.
Speaker 4:I don't know how to say it. He's got to get canceled.
Speaker 1:Pepperoni face.
Speaker 4:You're going to get pepperoni face. My face looks like the back of a Nestle's Crunch Bar. That still sounds delicious.
Speaker 2:I know that is a very specific, like small tight pimples a lot of whiteheads, a lot of whiteheads.
Speaker 3:I didn't have a lot of problems, but I will say as an adult. I'm going back to the topic because I got in trouble last time. The topic because I got in trouble last time. Um, I will say that as an adult I have had uh hormonal areas of uh what do they call them?
Speaker 1:situations pimples, problems, situation blemishes blemishes oh, we like to call them blemishes the the facial lady said and if you get a situation, she meant pimple, right, she didn't want to say the word.
Speaker 3:I know what Right.
Speaker 1:I would just say it I got spanked for saying zit.
Speaker 3:Oh, well, that makes sense, dad, you got me zit and he spanked me Wow.
Speaker 2:I think your dad just didn't like you To be a thin reason to speak in French. Okay, he wasn't my dad. It was a dad, and it happened four years ago. He Venmo'd me after.
Speaker 3:He Venmo'd me. Good for you, I had to request it.
Speaker 4:So I'm single. Yeah, so I'm single.
Speaker 1:Thanks, Grandma.
Speaker 4:So I'm single. Thanks Obama.
Speaker 2:I can't get anyone.
Speaker 1:We need to make like a book of just bad hacky punchlines that people use like when they first start doing comedy oh, thanks, mom, and then we can put that again with like the bad improv here's crowd work.
Speaker 3:I love your mustache, ma'am.
Speaker 2:But it's really good, that's not bad You've had a beauty sleep. I need a coma.
Speaker 3:Ayo.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to readjust my towel.
Speaker 3:I'm going to have to readjust my towel. What happened? My towel feels like a derby.
Speaker 2:A derby, oh, like the brown derby, like a hat derby that bowler type hat, or like the actual horse derby that's running on my head. What's the difference between a derby and a bowler?
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a good question. I think they're the same. Right Off topic.
Speaker 4:I mean, haberddashery is not a hobby, you know it could give you pimples, though.
Speaker 1:That's the difference oh, that's right of a derby. Doesn't bring it back to topic. Garlic knots.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thank you, so for the longest time the derby wearers were like I'm getting garlic knots here and then the haberdasher's like. I'm going to create a bowler.
Speaker 4:It's going to be cut out a little higher. I'm getting moided with the garlic knots, I'm getting moided.
Speaker 3:I'm getting moided with the garlic knots.
Speaker 2:Charlie Chaplin. It was all pimples here, this guy. You didn't know that Acne is the mother of the sound of his pimple, popping, yeah yeah all right.
Speaker 1:So what is the difference, tammy? What the hell's going on?
Speaker 2:over there she's taking off her turban speaking of appropriation over there it is. I'm glad that somebody brought up the fact that the white lady yeah, she's wearing a turban.
Speaker 1:Are you a Sikh? I'm at the spa. There's wearing a turban yeah, she's wearing a turban.
Speaker 3:It's not a turban. Are you a Sikh? I'm at the spa. There's too much going on.
Speaker 2:Yo, that's Sikh I like it. I was overly prepared, but I like that you gave me your white person hat, the hot dog hat. Yeah, put it on, but I feel like that's colonialization. You're like appropri with your hot dog hat.
Speaker 3:He's got a point, so it's never going to air we're solving problems, we're bringing up a lot of stuff because I'm wondering are hot dogs American or is that like?
Speaker 4:is that an American version of what they think a sausage is?
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, I think so.
Speaker 4:Because that's such a thing that only an American could invent was a hot dog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something that is just gelatin. How do you make a sausage gross, frank.
Speaker 2:Fata.
Speaker 3:Sounds like a perfect German accent right.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 4:I think it's great If you're Indian and German Frank Fata.
Speaker 3:If you're listening and not watching. Vigil is German. I want Frank Fata with watermelon juice.
Speaker 4:That sounds good, that sounds really good. I think I got canceled for that juice.
Speaker 3:I yes I waited on this guy when I waited tables and he was german and he said he kept asking for these different. You have watermelon juice and I said no, squeezing watermelon then he kept asking for different juices.
Speaker 1:I love watermelon juice you have mango juice no, it's like orange.
Speaker 2:What I like about watermelon juice and I'm just going to say is it kind of naturally evolved. When you cut a watermelon, it just kind of happens.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
Speaker 2:It's very little Watermelon's, so courteous to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it does it for you, right.
Speaker 3:Have you ordered it at a restaurant. It's a very nice juice. Yeah, that's odd, no, no, I just have you cut open any watermelon, because I need the juice, I need the juice.
Speaker 2:That's what I said. Can you please cut open a watermelon and let it sit in the bin for five to ten minutes and then pour out the juice that develops.
Speaker 1:It kind of tastes like sweat.
Speaker 2:No, do you do that? Are you a watermelon alien? Oh my God, I put tahini on it. I put chili.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh my God, the red pepper with the lime Do you know what I do?
Speaker 2:I eat the rind.
Speaker 1:Okay, tell me how, because I need to do this.
Speaker 2:It is fantastic. So the way to do it, it is very much like cucumber, okay, okay, and it has all the benefits. Are you know? Normally we eat the wedge and then now we're left with the rind. Yeah, take a bite of rind with each. Go sideways like you're eating the crust.
Speaker 1:Eat a bite of rind with the fruit each time, and it's so pleasant, so you go all the way up to the skin, basically.
Speaker 3:Why are we? I eat the whole thing. You eat the skin too. Yes, it's super healthy for you.
Speaker 1:Why are we doing?
Speaker 3:that there's so much of it.
Speaker 1:I would think nature would want you to eat it.
Speaker 2:People are told you can't get through this thing. You absolutely can't.
Speaker 1:I'm going to try it. It's crunchy and delicious. I'm going to totally do that Self-torture.
Speaker 2:But take a little bite of fruit with it each time. Turn it sideways, yeah.
Speaker 4:I've had it with prosciutto or whatever, but you have it, you eat the whole thing.
Speaker 2:That's tougher, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:But they also, they pickle watermelon.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, yeah, so it probably breaks it down a little bit more.
Speaker 1:I've been eating watermelon almost every single day for breakfast. Now they're starting to get kind of gross because they're out of season. For like four months have you had a square one yet what's that? Have you?
Speaker 2:had a square one no. Yeah, they're grown in like like veal. Oh, poor things. They're forced to grow in squares, oh that's so sad.
Speaker 3:So they can stack them for real. Yeah, really.
Speaker 2:I think the Japanese invented this idea because they're a small island and they're really smart as long as it only changes the shape, I'm good with that.
Speaker 1:I mean, the molecular structure isn't affected. No, I love it all right. Well, we'll have to check into that yeah, I mean, I don't know that they'd have a mirror.
Speaker 3:But let's try. All right.
Speaker 1:Fine, let's grow our own okay okay, yes, and we live in an apartment, okay all right, listen, let's go back to just acne for one second. So you had some acne, it was. Was it more sporadic or just like?
Speaker 2:it was pretty sporadic, but it was embarrassed. It picked the most embarrassing time and place.
Speaker 1:I was like it had it out for me this is like a stomach point, and so you probably were stressed out and had stuff going on in your gut. And that's happened to me too. Every time I would see a certain boy I would get a huge zit right underneath the corner of my nose and it would get so big like you could feel it throbbing and is that kind of similar?
Speaker 2:It's called a stomach point.
Speaker 1:Well, similar. It's called a stomach point. Well, this is a stomach point. This is a stomach point on the face. There's different areas of what's this? One out here? I got one right there right now. Well, it depends um some of it. Oh, right here, right there, let's see, this is all digestive right here. Okay, and what? About this and this gallbladder here all of this, where you would have a beard, is hormonal, which is what I was going to say is oh, this is hormonal, yeah, it's horm, but I have a reoccurring one here and a reoccurring one here.
Speaker 3:That's your intestine, oh.
Speaker 1:Alright, so let's just make a quick distinction, which there almost isn't one With adult acne. I thought of this in the car and then I went and looked and I was like there really isn't a lot of difference between adult and adolescent acne, other than the fact that you get it after 25. So same pimple different.
Speaker 3:Yes, exactly, I love that show.
Speaker 1:Yes, um and so, uh, more common in women. Thank you, I'm just gonna keep moving. It's more common women? Yeah, because they need more problems what happens when? Women get older.
Speaker 2:They have so much self-confidence that the acne needs to like take them down or not yes, exactly, it's like hey there, hey there, you're getting your stride with this whole thing you can't even name one.
Speaker 3:I can't name one. I know it's bad, but something's bad.
Speaker 4:Stella got her groove back and adults on set.
Speaker 3:That's right that was a sequel. At least she was getting stooped challenge accepted.
Speaker 2:Stella challenge accepted.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, so, yeah, so that. So, like I was saying, the reason why I said that is because, uh, a lot of it does tend to be hormonal fluctuation. I don't know if you're at the same point I have, I don't really break out but I know that a lot of women in my neighborhood of age will tend to get so much younger than you I know you are so much younger, yeah, and reminds me every day, even when we're not talking. She just calls and hangs up. One year.
Speaker 2:Social dose.
Speaker 1:So I can also be caused by stress. Yeah, that Right Question.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so if he's getting like, I'm getting my nose point, my stomach point, your stomach point.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if he's getting his stomach point.
Speaker 3:That could be like I have something big that comes out on his nose.
Speaker 1:Oh, inside his gut.
Speaker 3:Something that you're nervous about yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, maybe the school class photo is what made me nervous. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:So my wife, every time she went to visit her family she'd get one right in the middle of her head and they would call her Cyclops. So every time, and here it is again, and then he hadn't seen her in like four years and he's like every time it's still there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is actually a liver point right here. Liver, where do you get a?
Speaker 2:pimple. If you have stress in your nose, where's your nose point?
Speaker 1:it can't be your nose it's on the bottom of your feet. That was in your intestine.
Speaker 2:Nicely done, yeah, thank you could you imagine how painful it would be to have a zit on the bottom of your foot?
Speaker 1:Oh, on the bottom of your foot, but you can actually have pimples inside your body Like women can get. What do you call those things? You have to have them removed.
Speaker 2:Ovarian cysts.
Speaker 1:And a lot of times those do. Thank you for bringing that up, vigil, because I didn't even get that from the AI Stuff I got off the internet for today.
Speaker 3:You could chat GPT for an entire certification.
Speaker 1:I didn't even go that far I just Googled it, it's because I've been doing this for a while, but it will often correspond if somebody's getting really, really bad acne as a young woman and even older women, if they're getting the big cystic acne here, it's corresponding to cystic acne down there and a lot of times they'll go find out and they have PCOS.
Speaker 3:Wait, what about just right here, under your chin, I think?
Speaker 1:that's still hormonal Bad washing, mrs Bot. All right, hold on Let me text myself to buy some soap.
Speaker 2:Buy body detergent, a washcloth.

There's a couple other things right there and it's almost like they were. It's hard to find Nemo. They were Finding Nemo.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what it was. They were finding Nemo. That's exactly what it was. Do you believe her? He knows John Lasseter was driving around. They said, hey, we have $500 million to spend on an animated movie. What should it be about? Well, I'm trying to find this tiny little street in WeHo, and it's called Nemo.
Speaker 3:I'm finding Nemo. Well, it was right by Beverly Hills. So I mean, this is real.
Speaker 4:It really did happen by oh finding pavilions. He immediately called I'm at pavilions.
Speaker 3:I can't find Nemo.

Speaker 3:episode they've given. I think it's because he's here, Are you?
Speaker 1:taking pictures. Oh, because, why?
Speaker 2:Well, I'm saying it's not related to acne because you know, I feel like Girl Scouts, teenagers, acne oh that makes sense. But this is not.
Speaker 3:it's unrelated and the Samoa cookies, do you remember?
Speaker 2:that restaurant chain Because it was like Islanders, do you?
Speaker 1:remember that restaurant chain, not that they called it.
Speaker 2:Pacific Islander cookies. Is that what they really call it? No, they called them like doodly-doos and nobody liked it. They're like just go back. Yeah, they went, oh my.
Speaker 4:God, do you remember?
Speaker 3:the restaurant chain called Little Sambo's. Yes, yes. And then it went and Wow, I like that restaurant because you were inside the book. But then you know you got to burn books.
Speaker 2:Right, right. That's why the Cracker Barrel. It was our attempt to be racist towards white people.
Speaker 3:It didn't take. They were like, oh no, we love the Barrel of Crackers.
Speaker 2:They weren't hurt by it at all.
Speaker 4:We love it High fructose corn syrup.
Speaker 3:Everything works out for you guys, everything for you guys.
Speaker 4:Everything, everything works out.
Speaker 3:We try to be racist, all right. We love it Somebody knows us. I feel so heard.
Speaker 1:So is the person wearing white face, by the way, she is. Tammy's wearing a full face. If you're watching and not listening. I am wearing.
Speaker 3:Noxzema, and it's faded into my skin.
Speaker 4:That is now my skin tone. When you walked in, you said it's noxema, noxema.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, this is too much. My towel is coming off again. Oh, do you need a fix?
Speaker 1:Keep your towel on. I would like to fix, okay, just fix it.
Speaker 2:It is like nun-like now.
Speaker 1:Okay, while you're doing that, I'm going to talk about other things. Other factors, family history, any Other things, other factors, family history, any medications you're taking. She is making such a mess over there. Underlying medical conditions play a role.
Speaker 3:I'm just trying to get out the it.
Speaker 1:I know I'm getting the serious info out while you're doing this, because then I won't be interrupted. Wash regularly. Oh so, basically, what can you do about it? It's the same things that you can do for regular acne, but you also have to determine whether it's bacterial or hormonal. A lot of times the bacterial stuff is here, but also this can also be from gut stuff as well, because I know not butt stuff, but gut stuff, because what do you?
Speaker 3:point at me, because I thought you were going to call me out on it.
Speaker 4:I was excited about the butt stuff you were excited about butt stuff well it clears up the acne right this is what my takeaway is butt stuff clears up acne. That's a good theory. When you say butt stuff, do you mean butt things or like butt stuff? It was gut stuff Stuffing butt.
Speaker 3:Oh, sorry, she was saying it's not butt stuff. Oh, and then we are all comics and we got very excited about talking about butt stuff. Butt stuff.
Speaker 4:I did want to ask one question Now, when, excited about butt stuff butt stuff I did.
Speaker 3:I did want to ask one question now, when nicole gets that pimple in the in the thing cyclops, the cyclops thing right and that you said that's a liver point well, it's a very educational thing um I was talking about my girlfriend here, the liver.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the liver. That's an angry point, right, that's anger. Yes, right, here is it really good?
Speaker 1:call sandra, yes right here, and then the jaw, which we just did. This, the show on the jawline this is and which is also goes to here. But in in eastern medicine they say that you keep your anger in your liver and then this is where you hold all that tension, liver point, thank you wait.
Speaker 3:So I grind my teeth so badly that I have fractured them. Yeah, and um had infection. I have missing back here too, like one on once I went I'm missing the same, but not for the same reason me too, pull it out cross-eyed uncle. Yeah, because, um, because, uh, because it it abscessed because I cracked it and then it got infected.
Speaker 1:Oh owie, and I have a night guard but I spit it out In the middle of the night. You just spit it out. I used to do that with my retainer.
Speaker 3:And then you get yelled at by your wife. That's $400. So I don't wear it, so at least it's not lost.
Speaker 1:When you said I have a night guard for some reason I just thought like a night security guy that just stood next to you. That was the image, more than an actual, constantly picking up a night guard handing it back to her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just make sure you're not clenching it hey, wake up. Simon, simon, leave me alone he brings a lunch that he eats at like 4 in the morning, you know, because it's like he has night hours, it's always kimchi. He's like Simon, could you please not eat that next to the bed?

Speaker 2:It's pickled watermelon rinds and garlic nubs Potatoes. He listens to replays of the game.
Speaker 3:Pizza. Oh yeah, I love pizza.
Speaker 1:Me too, me too.

Speaker 3:So different.
Speaker 2:All these people are susceptible to acne.
Speaker 3:Listen here, for real, for real, for real. But what is it? Is it anger or is it hormones?
Speaker 1:Well, I mean it could be both, but is it only on your jawline right here in that one spot?
Speaker 3:or is it all through this area, in this kind of back here, my jaw Right, here I have one right now.
Speaker 1:That's this is okay. I'll just give a quick. That's digestive right here. No, look, I'm not doing this. Okay, underneath, okay, this right here so this upper, that's your small intestine. Ascending colon. Descending colon.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:So, like when I would get constipated, I'd always get like a little bit of like a pimple down here, right, this is a stomach. Herpes yes, for sure.
Speaker 3:Stomach herpes, herpes, herpes.
Speaker 1:This is large intestine, I'll cross your forehead. Small intestine fills in, okay, when he can't show up when large intestine's up there, okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, thank you. And then this is hormones Wherever you can get a beard, right, yeah, so take a look at Vigil's beard.

Speaker 2:No, you think this is a beard. No, no.
Speaker 3:I just get chest for men and I color my pimples black. He gets acne and then hair comes out of it. I do. I take a Sharpie every day every morning.
Speaker 4:yes, Do you know? No, please go ahead.
Speaker 2:I had. This has to do with moles, that in Asian culture, or at least in, I think, chinese culture, you don't cut hair that comes out of a mole. So I had a professor who was a math professor. That means a lot. And he had I mean this long of a tuft of hair coming out of a mole, the bottom of the fin, why wouldn't they cut it?
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, it's bad luck, I'm not. I'm more than slightly disgusting. What about?
Speaker 4:plucking no, you can't do anything, you have to leave it. I've seen that before and I figured it was something like this.
Speaker 1:I knew a chinese woman. She was probably in her 90s and had been growing this thing since the day she was born. I think it was like it was like in a bad place, like right here, and it was just like she started braiding it flat. Ironing, it had a perm in the 70s.
Speaker 2:Some beads on the end you could follow the hairstyles of the eras you know, she had like like bleached hips for a while.
Speaker 1:Frosted, frosted hips. Now it's ombre, her Karen phase.
Speaker 2:The ombre. What's that, the ombre?
Speaker 1:The ombre is like when it's roots at the top, and then it gets lighter, like you were in the sun, someone thought I was doing that on purpose and said, oh, I love that, that's just who you are.
Speaker 3:She Doesn't matter, she's an artist, and said oh, I love that, that's just who you are.
Speaker 1:She doesn't matter what a bitch. She's an artist. That's a great story.
Speaker 3:She makes artists famous.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, she makes artists famous, famous. How do you do that?
Speaker 1:I don't know what that's called. Like a PR person, it would be like an agent or a manager.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, but like for art.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to push my glasses back on my face and they weren't there, just so you know very nice.
Speaker 2:I pulled myself in the eye.
Speaker 3:I have another question what about acne elsewhere on your body?
Speaker 1:good question. Let's scroll to butt, like in my fat folds, just kidding acne. Elsewhere is a dermatology hospital underneath my breasts.
Speaker 2:Good question. Let's scroll to butt acne.
Speaker 3:Like in my fat folds, just kidding Acne elsewhere is a dermatology hospital. Underneath my breasts. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:Back knee, Back knee yeah that's hormonal Breast knee
Speaker 1:tit knee, what Breast.
Speaker 3:Tit knee oh tit knee.
Speaker 2:He was making a joke.
Speaker 1:Yes, no, that's okay, I just didn't catch it.
Speaker 2:I had a pimple on my sternum. Is this my sternum? Yeah, that's your sternum Sternum barely knew him, right yeah.
Speaker 4:Right here.
Speaker 1:Don't judge me.
Speaker 2:It was so satisfying to press because it was just like because there was such a hard bone under it. You know what I'm saying Hard bone.
Speaker 1:You got way excited when you said that.
Speaker 2:It was almost like a. It was like a what do you call it? Like when you do bubble wrap that just never popped and it was just so satisfying to press.
Speaker 1:So it was like kind of like squishy when you would push on it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I had cyst in my armpit.
Speaker 1:Owie, well, those are folliculitis, is what you're talking about. So you've got a hair follicle. Every pore has a hair follicle and if it gets infected, either from like shaving and, you know, with a razor that had bacteria on it for some reason. For a few years, for a few years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had armpit.
Speaker 1:Armpit?
Speaker 3:Well, maybe something was causing it. I want to say like seventh to maybe ninth grade, tenth grade.
Speaker 1:Wow, so you never raised your hand in class I used pliers.
Speaker 2:Never answered that question. Stop it, you did not.
Speaker 3:Pull it out or pop it. Pop it.
Speaker 1:Why not just use like fingers it?
Speaker 3:wouldn't go Really. Okay, okay Okay, I did use my fingers for that one, but there was something else that I used pliers on.
Speaker 1:Okay, I need to know. We're not going to talk about that. What, come on? No, don't do that.
Speaker 3:No, but I did use pliers on something, that I did use pliers on something.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, leave in the comments what you think, what you've used your pliers on, please.
Speaker 3:Whoever guesses it gets a Applebee's $75 gift card that's expired.
Speaker 2:How about 20?. What was that restaurant? Sambo's Season's.
Speaker 3:No, you can't say it.
Speaker 2:I can't. You just said it. I'm closer to saying it than you are. They win every time. She just told me I can't say racist words.
Speaker 3:Remember.
Speaker 2:Remember the one that she just said. Remember, Remember.
Speaker 3:It just happened. It's such a weird dynamic.
Speaker 1:But butt, acne, you were saying body acne. Oh yeah, butt acne, I know have you ever wondered you get like the one? Have you ever seen porn where the girl has pimples on the back of her butt?
Speaker 2:No oh.
Speaker 4:She gets cheapish, it was so relatable right.
Speaker 1:You guys, you guys, yeah.
Speaker 2:Wait, is there a genre? Is that like grandma?
Speaker 1:porn? No, it's not a genre. No, Is it grandma porn? I think it was just bad timing. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3:Bad timing. Bad timing porn? Yeah, because you're sweating and that's when the girl goes, not in my eye.
Speaker 2:What's it called?
Speaker 4:I got a knot in my eye, yeah.
Speaker 3:A garlic knot in your eye. It's a lot of knots Full circle.
Speaker 2:What is it called A comedone? Oh, comedone.
Speaker 1:Like a comedone Comedone. Well, it's a comedone.
Speaker 2:yeah, Because there's non-comedogenic that lasts forever. I have on my back upper right below my shoulder blade. This is also very satisfying a comedone that the doctor said it will never not be like. It'll never. It's just a, it's an oil duct that's just overactive. It'll never, ever go away until you get surgery. If you want it, he goes, don't get surgery.
Speaker 1:Can you see it like it's big?
Speaker 2:And it'll slowly like get bigger over like months. And then what I do is I would lean against a chair and the top of the chair and I'd press down so my skin would like fold at the top of the chair and it would provide the bottom part and my finger would be the top.
Speaker 4:And it's so satisfying Just to kind of smoosh this sounds like, but what?
Speaker 3:was mogli on the, on bare necessity yes, it's like that.
Speaker 2:It's like me doing the band, or like when he's like scratching his back. It's like that. But it's like this one coma don't. But then when I got a girlfriend in college when I felt close enough to her, I'm like, hey, there's something fun you can do it it, it.
Speaker 3:I think it kept us together longer than we should have the satisfaction of like it's not a gross one, it's like just the the perfect, like it's almost like frosting, but it's like not gross oh, I cannot listen. I know uh podcast she should try this.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you it's more satisfying than my dad had one of those.
Speaker 4:my mom would always get in there and it was fun for her. She used to pop, pop yeah.
Speaker 3:Pop, pop.
Speaker 2:And then every couple months it would just refill.
Speaker 3:It just fills up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's so nice, my dad had I love that Tammy just raised her hand.
Speaker 1:Yes, Tammy.
Speaker 3:My dad had a boil on his arm, was using like, like she used like a roll of of uh paper towels, uh-huh, and then like to get it in there.
Speaker 1:Oh, to clean it out, that's a carbuncle is what they call, isn't? That a crazy name, oh is that what a carbuncle is? Yeah, and so it's like it gets really infected, really big. I had one once on my thigh I don't know what it was from and then it just like got really white, but it's so painful, yeah he because and this how I know it hurt him because you know we'd had bench seats in cars and no seatbelts back then, because I'm a hundred, and so I was in the back and I kept going, daddy, and kept hitting the arm and he kept going.
Speaker 3:Oh, I kept like a Tammy. If you do it one more time, you know my dad's from Oklahoma.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's when he spanked me, when his carbuncle was being irritated by the bench seat.
Speaker 3:I'm just kidding, but isn't that it was so gigantic?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that's something in the body. Was it the size of a golf ball or a baseball, it can be, it was very wide and like the whole of it she could.
Speaker 3:it was wide, it was big, like you could see it was.
Speaker 1:I'm wondering if it's connected to like strep, like streptococcus um bacteria because there are some weird things like mers, mersa, mrza and some of those things where you can get like some of those, like I had a client who had one. It looked like she had a huge white head so we opened it a little bit and realized it wasn't, and then a month later she was not because of me but she was in the hospital because she had picked up mirza from like an airport or something.
Speaker 3:Um, I so um, I want to say last year, um, I had something in my ear that just it felt scratchy and I scratched it and um, it just was like seeping this is so disgusting, I'm sorry everyone and um, it was like crystalline crystalline for for a few in my ear yeah, okay for a few months and it kept, uh, it kept opening up, and opening up, and opening up and so it wouldn't heal.
Speaker 3:Wouldn't heal when you heal. I finally went to an esthetician and she opened it up and then she did the biggest no-no and she said um, I said, is there a mass? And she said I can't remember what she said. She said, no, we don't say mass. And then she's like, but there's a giant hole and I'm like that is worse.
Speaker 2:There's a hole in your ear.
Speaker 3:And it was my sweat gland. And I did she did give me something that didn't help. I did have to take antibiotics, but it finally went. And it still bothers me a little bit, but it was my sweat gland. So I didn't know I had. So I mean, do you? Does everyone have sweat glands in their ears?
Speaker 1:it's just me I'm assuming we probably have all of that stuff.
Speaker 3:I know you have pores in your ears, for sure, buddy lady but it was. It was months owie months of a like a milky ear.
Speaker 2:What is going on? Is that the clear pus? What was happening? You said it was like I like that.
Speaker 4:You made it worse milky. Do you see how it's all is it? Look how it's dry.
Speaker 3:Now you can't even look at you, look at me, look how it's dry now. It looks like you're molting. It looks like it looks like we're gonna find a tammy shaped like skin thing like in like an hour maybe okay, and then you will be like tammy, you'll be like a butterfly, and then I'll be a butterfly. Hell yeah, these are the last moments.
Speaker 1:She's a pupa.
Speaker 2:That's why I'm like shrinking. It turns out she's been a pupa.
Speaker 3:This is part of my pupus.
Speaker 4:My pupus, my pupus, oh my God.
Speaker 3:Anyway, yeah, it healed finally and then it opened up one more time.
Speaker 1:So it obviously didn't heal completely, and then it filled up again or it started A little knot. Okay, a little knot.
Speaker 3:I get knots.
Speaker 1:Is that?
Speaker 3:weird. I can't believe we're talking about adult acne, you can't. No, we started like an hour ago.
Speaker 1:I thought you'd catch up by now. Wait, what's the?
Speaker 2:topic adult acne sounds just more sophisticated acne. It's around swilling like a little oh, yeah, yeah pinot noir.
Speaker 4:It's like we're adults got nice legs, it's a little inky on the finish, he went straight to like after dinner drinks and I was still drinking the wine the wine?
Speaker 2:he was having a cigar, yeah they have a whole flight of alcohols yeah, exactly you know he just said I love a dessert wine.
Speaker 3:I don't think I've ever had one and I'm sober.
Speaker 2:What was that? Oh, that's a dessert wine. Dessert wine. Now it's pork. Pork is, I guess, technically a dessert yes, it is pork, pork.
Speaker 1:I thought you said pork and I was like what is it going on?
Speaker 4:and now, and then I thought, oh yeah, sweet and sour.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking of ways to make pork sweet Pork is he's Jewish, so pork is intoxicating to him.
Speaker 2:The forbidden meat? He's not.
Speaker 4:Jewish. How does it look? You're not Jewish Guys, it's kosher, whether I.
Speaker 3:I like that. It says end, end, end, that's still.
Speaker 2:Oh dear.
Speaker 1:Normally Sandra would be sitting over there looking at the notes, which, if you're listening and not watching, Tammy's referring to the notes that are sitting across from me that I'm scrolling through and that way he knows I'm done and you can just say whatever you want to say.
Speaker 3:Oh, we were doing that anyway.
Speaker 1:I know and just say whatever you want to say. Oh, we were doing that anyway. I know and I got in so much trouble last time for doing that.
Speaker 2:You did not. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I still want to talk about self-tanning because of the last episode. I have nothing to say about self-tanning, but we're talking about it. And they said do not go off topic. Yeah, oh, we said that.
Speaker 1:They did. No, we didn't. Oh, my God, do you remember? I remember.
Speaker 4:The topic was Sultani, or she made it Sultani, gustapo, over here, gustapo.
Speaker 2:Gustapo, gustapo, gustapo.
Speaker 3:My dog's Gustapo.
Speaker 1:As a matter of fact, you called me back. You go. When are you going to talk about Sultani? I know because I thought we were supposed.
Speaker 3:Let's get back to adult onset Adult onset Adult.
Speaker 2:What if you never?
Speaker 3:who has never had acne. And then they hit 25, and then it's like a full face. That's tough. They're like confident Bam.
Speaker 1:And you don't. Yeah, it does happen actually. Yeah, I've had clients who say that and then they're really just like struck by it because they didn't have to live through the humiliation as a teenager and now they're. Hell is this?
Speaker 3:have you used those things that you put, like that biore or whatever?
Speaker 2:does that work? And you?
Speaker 1:pull it off and it's just like black what it does is it pulls off what's at the surface right, but it doesn't pull off anything that's underneath the surface, because your pores is like a corkscrew, almost like it goes in different directions.
Speaker 2:So there's no way serious. Yeah, it's just getting the the stuff, yeah it's just getting the very tip what is that tip?
Speaker 1:it's part of the oil, but it's just not enough.
Speaker 3:That like what so he was talking about his oil gland and I had a friend that went and had that oil glands. They kind of burn them or whatever to stop them something like that and it went wrong and then she had like lumps all over her face.
Speaker 4:I mean, she kind of deserved it she looked like a gin blossom.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding, she looked like Charles.
Speaker 4:Bukowski.
Speaker 3:She looked like. Who was the guy on Dallas that died? Remember who?
Speaker 2:shot J.
Speaker 3:She looked like JR from the oil spill.
Speaker 1:Did he have bad skin? No, but he was an oil.
Speaker 3:She's doing an oil.
Speaker 2:I was an oil joke, sorry, I was an oil joke, sorry, look where's the camera, where's my camera I'm bombing.
Speaker 1:Only with me. Oh my god.
Speaker 4:What if that becomes your catchphrase and it blows up I'm bombing.
Speaker 3:Wait a minute, is it time?
Speaker 2:I'm bombing.
Speaker 3:While I have hair Coming out of my head. Okay, so Body Acne is the same Pretty much yeah, but back inside your body, face, nose armpit may be different, armpit's different, would you call it?
Speaker 1:visceral lysis. It could be folliculitis.
Speaker 3:Just the follicles she always has names Folliculitis.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, I went to school for this I went to school. Who am I? Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 3:You went to folliculitis university. And then after Andy Dufresne and I got out of Shawshank we went to dermatology.
Speaker 1:That's what they did down in.
Speaker 2:San.
Speaker 4:Patrino.
Speaker 3:They worked on the bow and they were.
Speaker 2:Pimple poppers.
Speaker 3:We did seaweed masks.
Speaker 2:Can I ask a question?
Speaker 1:Peter's got his own podcast now Going on over there. It's a back acne story Is it wrong.
Speaker 2:I know it's so satisfying to pop a pimple. How wrong is it to pop a pimple?
Speaker 1:It depends on what stage it's in. It's almost like quivering and you're just like it's so satisfying to pop a pimple. How wrong is it to pop a pimple? It depends on what stage it's in. What's like super bad? This is a good question.
Speaker 2:It's almost like quivering and you're just like.
Speaker 1:No, then okay. So if you're going to pop a pimple, if it's super red on the outside, don't do it, especially not yourself because it means it's inflamed. And what means it's going to also probably pop the inside of the pore and knock it out and then spread. And then it spreads, Exactly Right. But if you wait until it's just pretty much all the whiteness has come to the surface and it's not super red, you take something that's sharp and sterile, go in from the side. People make the mistake of going down.
Speaker 2:You buy it. That's so smart. Yeah, you get like a.
Speaker 1:It's called a lancet Lancets Right. And you go from the side and then you gently push it and then the second it stops coming out. Leave it, Don't push it until it bleeds.
Speaker 3:That's what most people do. Please address.
Speaker 1:Blackheads. I mean I can take those out of you any second. I mean.
Speaker 2:Can I, can I Go ahead Hit it.
Speaker 1:The joy of watching it.
Speaker 2:Hit the mirror when you squeeze it.
Speaker 1:Super well, yeah, but yeah, blackhead or a pimple, a pimple, yeah, like the you know, I'm just getting to know people in a different way in this podcast you've never enjoyed that.
Speaker 3:yes, but I don't talk about it, okay, so if but blackheads are different than thanheads?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because a whitehead is just basically oil that's backed up in your skin. A blackhead has mixed with dirt and oil on the surface and then it becomes dark. And then it becomes hard. It becomes hard because the air makes it hardened and then you push the top out and there's a little blackhead, and then the bottom is always kind of more squishy.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:But the longer it sits there, the longer it has to harden. So you might get like a little ball of yellow, yeah, and it just like it's all hard, all you just like um, I've broken my nose a few times and hit my pimple yes and that's the end of the story.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've broken my nose a few times and the blood will come out through the pores and you think that it's a blackhead. And then you go like this and it's blood.
Speaker 1:Wow, so it's your blood vessels that have like burst inside there, just like let it out through the skin.
Speaker 2:I'm like this is weird, why do I?
Speaker 3:have all this like a band of it.
Speaker 2:That hurts I, I, I have.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's when my dad spanked me and he broke my nose. It sounds like yes, it sounds like you just mouth off a lot. It wasn't my dad, but he had a giant carbuncle to deal with. It wasn't there, it was on his up here arm.
Speaker 2:Up here the thigh of the arm. The thigh of the arm.
Speaker 4:Archie Carbuncle, that's who I couldn't think of, archie. Carbuncle I knew, I knew that that's funny. What a racist zip, archie Carbuncle.
Speaker 3:Archie Carbuncle.
Speaker 2:That's amazing. That was my first good one, that's pretty great, that was pretty it's only because I, it's because you're wearing the turban you now have like it's like dumbo's feather. You have the totally. I refer to dumbo's feather all the time vigil.
Speaker 1:That's such a perfect analogy like what.
Speaker 3:That's why I put my notes on stage, because I don't learn them. And it's almost better, is it soaked into my face?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it looks perfect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's totally soaked in.
Speaker 2:After all this, after your racist tirades and your it's weathered up and the noxema is fully into your face.
Speaker 3:You didn't have a racist tirade. I'm like I'm going to be canceled. No, you're not. Don't cancel. Your hair looks beautiful by the way.

Speaker 3:Nobody cares enough to cancel. We're going to postpone her for a little bit. We're gonna put a pin in. We rented the venue.
Speaker 2:What are we gonna do? Can I tell you my fantasy? This is a weird fantasy. The hard blackhead stuff is such an interesting material to me. I wanted to gather enough of it that I wanted to make like a little resin and see what.
Speaker 1:I could oh god, I'm gonna vomit, and I do this for a living I wanted to make like a little Resin, like a resin and see what I could and then smoke it.
Speaker 3:Oh God, I'm going to vomit and I do this for a living. What if you have done?
Speaker 1:so many drugs that you collected your own blockhead. What do you mean? What if?
Speaker 3:And then that is you're like I've smoked so much crack it's coming out of my body. It's coming out of my body, you could.
Speaker 2:Because it is all the impurities I imagine there's probably some drugs in there.
Speaker 1:Tons of impurities in there.
Speaker 2:Can we do this, and then can we curate whose blackheads we get.
Speaker 4:Like this blackhead is from you know what, and then you can microdose it.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, yeah, you can microdose.
Speaker 3:It. Get your own, you know, instead of mushrooms you give your.
Speaker 2:Oh okay, resin, blackhead, resin, all right yeah, dabs, what do you call them? Dabs dabs what do you call them? Wait, what are dabs?
Speaker 4:I don't know the term. Dabs are like the, uh, the concentrate, like the wax form that you smoke oh, okay yeah, it's causing kids to go into psychosis.
Speaker 3:I don't believe it. It's strong, too strong yeah, it's strong I had a friend who lost his mind Really Forever.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's becoming a homeless guy.
Speaker 1:Super nice guy For real.
Speaker 3:He just had weed and kept doing it.
Speaker 4:He just kind of went the marijuana.
Speaker 3:I'm so sorry we're talking about this the marijuana today. No, kidding it isn't what it used to be. They keep breeding it better they can, because it's a plant. It is causing kids to literally go into psychosis and some of it's permanent. Or they will constantly have a problem with it.
Speaker 4:It's not what it used to be.
Speaker 2:We need new artists that type of psychosis is going to give us the next great album we're going to get the next College Dropout, we're going to get the next free album.

Speaker 1:Yes, I like that.
Speaker 2:Can I say, the two things that have moved, only two things, have moved in the wrong direction. Am I right? But I'm saying right. The two things that have really moved in the wrong direction is the strength of the marijuana and the bitterness of IPAs. Ipa beer is out of Thank, you Can't drink it, it's like a bitterness, arms race.
Speaker 4:Ours is more bitter. I haven't had alcohol in a little over a year, just because, yeah. But IPA was the least thing that I enjoyed because of how absolutely bitter and just I don't know. For some reason, it was almost like if you drank it and you could do it, you like oh, dude, it's a challenge, yeah, and the way they do.
Speaker 2:It is the hops which is related to marijuana.
Speaker 1:They're the cousin. Oh, I did not know that marijuana cousins, I had no idea and and for some reason, they've ruined both beer and weed.
Speaker 2:Did you remember the? Fun of de-seeding your weed and inisbee and then rolling it and smoking it, it was a ritual.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But now it's like here's your pre-roll of G58. And then you're done.
